Educational facility electrical audits are required by almost all jurisdictions across the globe. These audits ensure that the facility does not put students, staff,...read more

Solar Power Installation- What to Consider Before Making a Commitment
Solar power is a free and natural resource that you can use today to power your home, small business, or unit components in an area. While the resounding call of environmental responsibility has drawn many people to adopt solar energy, the fear of insufficiencies from the system coupled with high installation costs can drive one to think otherwise.

With proper preparatory considerations, you can get just the right fit for an installation that will live up to the promise of paying for...read more

Choosing a Transport System Based on Your Mining Site
If you're mining metal or coal, you have to select a transport method to move supplies, equipment, waste and your mined product around your site.

Top 3 Reasons Your Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping
Your home's electrical system is pretty complex, but the outlay is basically the same. Electric current enters the home to a circuit breaker box and then routed all over your home. Each circuit normally has a fuse or circuit breaker attached to it, and its main role is simple: to ensure that too much current doesn't go through the circuit. The circuit breaker trips so that the circuitry doesn't get damaged or overheated. But if the tripping happens frequently, it could get both annoying and dangerous. So here are some of the...read more

63.2 million people accessed the Internet on their mobile devices in January; 22.4 million did so daily—a year-over-year increase of 107%. The more the mobile web becomes the norm, experts say, the more consumers will embrace mobile shopping.
Overseas, in many European and Asian countries, accessing the Internet via smartphones and other mobile devices is commonplace. More Japanese, for example, access the web via mobile devices than via PCs. Today, according to new research from comScore Inc., the U.S., finally, is catching up to what many industry observers say will be the norm in the years ahead. And that's good news for retailers in m-commerce.
The number of people using their mobile devices to access the Internet on a daily basis more than doubled from January 2008 to January 2009, comScore reports. 63.2 million people-29% of the U.S. population age 16 and over-accessed the web on their mobile devices during the month of January 2009. 22.4 million, or 35%, did so daily-an increase of 107% over 10.8 million in January 2008.
"Over the course of the past year, we have seen use of the mobile Internet evolve from an occasional activity to being a daily part of people's lives," says Mark Donovan, senior vice president, mobile, at comScore. "This underscores the growing importance of the mobile medium as consumers become more reliant on their mobile devices to access time-sensitive and utilitarian information."
M-commerce experts in the trenches are not at all surprised by these numbers. This period in mobile history is analogous to the period just after the early days of the Internet, they say, when consumers used the web on their PCs for searching and finding information and were just beginning to shop. Faster connection speeds, better computers and greater comfort with using the Internet is what ultimately drove people to embrace shopping online, says Tim Sherwin, executive vice president and co-founder of CardinalCommerce Corp., an e-commerce and m-commerce technology vendor.
"That's what we've been seeing lately in mobile-increased wireless data usage, better devices like the iPhone, T-Mobile G1 and BlackBerry Storm, and faster 3G network speeds," Sherwin explains. "We've been seeing a dramatic increase in visitors to all of our retailer clients' m-commerce sites. And we've been seeing an unbelievable rise in people accessing the m-commerce sites through mobile natural search from Google. And average page views per visit is seven and a half. People are getting more and more comfortable with the mobile web. We've hit critical mass."
The new study from comScore also found wild jumps in the use of mobile devices to access the web in several categories. Following are the categories, daily unique users (in millions) in January 2008, daily unique users (in millions) in January 2009 and the percent increases:

The old railway station, around which the town grew, is now a museum with a few bits belonging to the early settlers. After that lunch called so we headed to the Touring club, a historic hotel dating back to the 1920's on the site of a former hotel and it's burnt out neighbour. The owner imported materials from Europe including English china ...

vowels (I have no idea how the Welsh words would be pronounced); and tea houses at which you're not permitted to buy one piece of cake or two, but must consume at least two dinner plates full and follow them down with litres of tea whilst being serenaded with what sounds suspiciously like Christmas Carols...and we loved it all!

pas terrible a part les deux premiers morceaux qui sont bien le reste est hors du coup. je m'attendais à mieux de la part de Mark Nine. Ma préférence reste toujours le premier album. .... vraiment dommage
If Tracks 9 and above do not play: I'm not sure whats happened, something must have happened while uploading. The same album is available for download from http://www.ionetlabel.com/io018.php or just try to download it from here. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Want to use these tracks in a commercial project/video?Get an official license
I think those detuned violins in the 2nd and 4th were otiose. The drumloop's tempo in 4th isn't right - too slow, the same in 8th. I really don't like tracks ended by fade-out - it always gives me a sense of incomplete, and those 1 minute-and-some segments, what's their point? They may be good for extending EP to LP, but as music they seem pretty worthless to me 'cause they end before they start, even for an intro they ain't enough. Bodonseesender was made properly (if ignore the fade out). The track 9 was cool with strong steady beat. 11 was very interesting, the drumloop was slightly offbeat. 13 which is more ambient than chillout was very calming. In genearal I can definitely say that the artist's got it, he knows how to make Chill, and those little drawbacks with loops can be easily fixed. Loops tempo can be adjusted by changing their pitch, but you gotta have a good sense of rhythm to make it flawlessly, the best way is to open loops with slicer, so you can arrange every fragment exactly on beat.
I came across this in my usual random browsing and really loved the atmosphere and synth sounds used. The drumbeats are really solid and keep you floating in the state of dreaminess. The basslines are very thick and full of tone which I like to hear in music like this. While looking at the album cover I would have expected something like beach and whale sounds, but this gives me a spacey feeling, the kind I like. I'm hard to impress, however you have succeeded to impress me. Overall for best results I highly recommend: -Numbers -Bodonseesender -Soliton (the intro is weird but the drumloop is great!) N.B. Towards the end of the album the songs stopped loading for me

It's been a long 5 years…
… since I last wrote something for this blog. Much has happened. I stopped writing here mostly due to lack of time, grad studies, writing papers, dissertation preparation, adjunct teaching, etc. I'm now one year past my dissertation defense, and happily situated at a liberal arts college as an assistant professor of psychology and director of its Cognition & Emotion Lab. And excited to start the blog up again.
I'll be mostly writing about exciting new research findings, as well as other miscellaneous topics related to academia, psychology, and the like. Back soon!
Make mine a triple
In response to a couple of questions about the implications of long-term caffeine intake, I'd thought I'd throw out a couple of findings.
I recently wrote about a study that localized the receptors underlying the arousing effects of caffeine. (A2a receptors, in cells located in the shell of the nucleus accumbens). It's only natural then to wonder what effect chronic caffeine intake might have on these receptors (and elsehwere in the brain).
That study didn't look at chronic effects. But back in 1996, Glass et al. found that chronic caffeine consumption increased the global expression of adenosine receptors in the brain , suggesting that this increase was to compensate for caffeine's antagonistic effects. Withdrawal from caffeine is, at least in part, likley related to a hypersensitivity to adenosine due to this increased number of adenosine receptors. The headaches that accompany caffeine withdrawal are thought to be related to the fact that adenosine is a known vasodilator and the increased receptor density + withdrawal of caffeine from the system leads to a significant drop in blood pressure.
A couple other interesting notes in regards to long-term effects of caffeine:
The Good News
Some case control studies have shown lower incidents of Parkinson's disease in coffee drinkers vs. non-coffee drinkers, although this finding has not always been replicated. The correlation, when it has been found, was strongest in heavy consumers. (This is certainly a finding I would love to be true!) More evidence in support of these findings come from mouse studies showing that physiological doses of caffeine were able to reduce one of the major toxic factors associated with Parkinsons (MPTP-induced dopaminergic toxicity). It's been suggested that caffeine may offer neuroprotective effects in the brain via action occurring at A2a receptors, which are the same receptors responsible for the arousing effect of caffeine (and which are also co-localized with dopamine D2 receptors). Additional support for this idea comes from studies in which mice who had their A2a receptors knocked out showed reduced MPTP-induced injury compared to wild types. How this all might be happening on a mechanistic level, however, is not well known.
The less good (but not totally bad) news:
Unfortunately, it seems that acute doses of caffeine often cause a rise in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, increase in catecholamine release and vasodilation (wideneing of blood vessels). However, some studies have shown this effect occurs primarily in non-regular consumers of caffeine. Many studies have shown either slight increases or no difference in blood pressure for regular users of caffeine. In fact, several large scale studies have found that heavy, regular use is protective against heart disease. (yes!) The findings are quite contradictory.
So what to make of all this? Is heavy coffee drinking bad or good for you?
There's no simple answer to that question. But the paradoxical findings suggest that different individuals have varying levels of risk. And it's likely that genetics play a significant role.
If one thinks of coffee as a drug, then the notion that the benefits of heavy coffee consumption might outweigh the risks seems very counterintuitive. That is, due to the brain's propensity to maintain homeostasis, drug taking, either legal or illegal, usually involves some significant cost/benefit analysis, a trade off between the good (the high, buzz, relief from psychic or physical pain) and the bad (side effects, withdrawal, expense, long-term effects on health). Yet, the evidence on long-term caffeine intake seems to put it in a distinctive class of its own.
I once chatted with an extremely energetic and sprightly 93-year old Italian man from the old country, curious to know the the secret to his longevity and good health. "Five espressos a day," he said. Anecdotes aren't very informative in an empirical sense, of course, but, nonetheless, the old codger may have been on to something.*
* In addition to the espressos, he'd also claimed that he smoked a pack a day of American Winstons and was convinced that brand loyalty was one of the other secrets to his good health.
Why caffeine jacks you up
Have you ever wondered why, and exactly where in the brain, coffee (or any caffeinated product, for that matter) is able to exert its arousing effects? Well, wonder no longer, because an international team of researchers from Japan, China and the US, have located the primary neurons upon which caffeine works its magic (Lazarus 2011).
It was previously known that caffeine wakes you up through inhibiting activity at adenosine A2a receptors (adenosine is an inhibitory neuromodulator involved in regulating the sleep-wake cycle). However, it was not known exactly where in the brain the receptors that exerted this effect are located.
How did they do it?
The researchers utilized a method whereby the gene that codes for A2a receptors (A2aRs) is marked such that they can be deleted, but only in a specific regions of the brain. Using a rat model, the team utilized these gene deletion strategies and found that when they knocked out A2aRs in the shell of the nucleus accumbens, rats no longer experienced the arousing effects of caffeine.
How does this work?
Adenosine activates A2a receptors in the nucleus accumbens shell, activation of which receptors inhibit the arousal system. That is, the more adenosine activation there is, the sleepier an organism becomes. Caffeine, which binds to these same receptors and blocks adenosine from exerting its activity there, essentially disinhibits the arousal system, promoting wakefulness. (Amazingly, based on similarities between the brains of mice and men, the area of the human brain in which caffeine acts to counteract fatigue is approximately the size of a pea.)
What does this mean in practical terms? (or, in other words, why should we find this so cool?)
Well, for one, it gives us a more specific mechanistic explanation for the arousing effects of caffeine. It says that in order for caffeine to work, it not only has to be effective as an A2aR antagonist, but that excitatory A2aRs on nucleus accumbens shell neurons must be tonically activated by endogenous adenosine. This is especially important in consideration of individual differences in the subjective effects of caffeine.
What if A2aRs are more densely packed in the shell of your nucleus accumbens than in mine? Might you be more sensitive to the effects of caffeine than me? That certainly seems likely. And the reason that one person might over or underexpress these receptors vs. another seems to be related to variation in the gene that produces those receptors (the gene knocked out in the rat study described above). In fact, we've already have evidence that this is the case. Past studies have shown genetic variations in genes coding for A2aRs were associated with greater sensitivity to caffeine and sleep impairment (Retey 2007), and greater anxiety after caffeine (Childs 2008). This study refines the existing model and should inspire, and lead to more accurate interpretation of, future genetics studies.*
*Other significant genes that underly individual differences in the subjective effects of caffeine include CYP1A2, or cytochrome enzyme P-450 1A2, which is associated with caffeine metabolism, and those coding for dopamine D2 receptors.

Google crosses the web/brain barrier?
Google, are you reading my mind?
One interesting aspect of having a blog is checking out the search terms that people used to land at one's site. It's often difficult to figure out why a particular and seemingly unrelated term might bring someone this way.
But one recent search seems to have transcended the blog and gone straight into my brain-o-sphere, into the existential recess where some of my darker thoughts about grad school are stored:
"PhD meaninglessness"
Google, you know me so well. Now stop it, you're freaking me out.
Name games
Research has shown that people's names influence what professions they choose to enter; for example, men named Dennis are overrepresented among dentists and men named Raymond are overrepresented among doctors who specialize in radiology.
I wonder if guilt about his name is what drove the third author below to study the ill effects of cigarette smoking …
Non significant statistical trends. Why are they reported?
I'm working on a slew of new posts but wanted to just throw this out there. Reading through a paper this morning, I was struck by the fact that for the 4th time this week, I've come across a study that reports on or mentions some non-signifiant statistical trend in the data (the latest I've come across touts a p value of .07). Why are these trends reported at all? They're very misleading and most certainly only reported when they suggest support for a given hypothesis (I haven't noticed too many papers reporting trends that would go against the central hypothesis). Why set a threshold at all if you're going to report stats that exceed it? Am I off base here?

The Knicks lost another first quarter, 28-25, but they picked up their defense in the second. Carmelo Anthony (13 points) and Ersan Ilyasova (16) led the way for their teams.
Here are three main observations at the half:
1. Amar'e Stoudemire's low-post moves. When the Knicks couldn't buy a bucket from outside, Stoudemire (nine points) kept his guys in the game with his on-the-block scoring. He was basically their only inside threat. The Knicks were able to get to the line in the first quarter -- 6-for-8 -- but that diminished in the second. They only had four free-throw attempts in the second.
2. Transition offense. Midway through the second quarter, the Knicks picked up their defense and then pushed the ball better to score three times in transition. On one possession, Jason Kidd stole the ball from Brandon Jennings, Anthony dribbled down and found J.R. Smith for the fastbreak dunk. Another time, Smith pushed the pace and dished to Raymond Felton, who then found Kidd in the corner for the 3-pointer. Then, Felton took it all the way himself for a layup.
3. Kidd's defense. If you look at his first-quarter stat line -- 0 points in seven minutes -- it obviously doesn't say much. But his effort and presence prevented the Bucks from scoring perhaps 10 additional points in the first quarter. After he blocked Monta Ellis' drive early in the game, he went on to help make five stops -- whether it was by contesting shots or getting active with his hands on a help-side defensive play.
On the negative side, the Knicks were poorly positioned defensively coming back down the court. First of all, they were slow to get into a defensive stance and get active with their hands. Several times, Jennings pushed the ball in transition, was able to get in the lane and find Ellis and Ilyasova open for 3-pointers.
In other possessions, the Knicks' switches were off and Stoudemire was caught guarding Jennings or Mike Dunleavy on the perimeter. Felton has to step up his pick-and-roll defense, especially because Iman Shumpert is not where he needs to be mentally. The game is still coming back to him.

Reducing Table Run Time
I've got a question about the following bit of code: k=628300;f=10; eq1=UnitStep[x+.005]-UnitStep[x-.005]; eq2=Exp[-I k x^2/(2 f)]; g1=Compile[{x},Evaluate[eq1*eq2]]; f1=Table[g1[index],{index,-.2,.2,N}]; Whenever i run this for a value of N necessary to generate a table of 2000+ values, the line to generate table f1 seems to take up a good 80-90% of the running time, which I understand is due to the evaluation of the function. My question involves whether or not there is a way to reduce the running time, or is this something we have to live with? For 2048 samples, I clocked it at approximately 44s, with most of it taken up by the table. Thanks in advance. J.T. Tsai

What to do with your old CDs is a conundrum not easily solved. A dazzling sculpture by artist Bruce Munro, made from fibre-optics and 50,000 CDs, called Blue Moon on a Platter (above), will rise, in an unearthly blue, from Waddesdon Manor's amphitheatre in Buckinghamshire next week, like the biggest disco ball you've ever seen.
Another piece, Angel of Light, spreads its shining wings across the front lawn of the 19th-century French château-style house that was built by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild in 1874.
Einojuhani Rautavaara's music, Angel of Light, inspired the artist. Munro says: "After listening to the piece, I knew what I wanted to make: a time-lapse creation of a huge halo." "

Nikola Vucevic to announce draft decision today
USC junior forward Nikola Vucevic will announce whether he's entering the NBA draft at a news conference this afternoon, according to a release from the school.
If he were to declare for the draft but not sign with an agent, Vucevic would have until May 8 to withdraw his name and maintain his college eligibility.
The 6-foot-10 Vucevic earned first-team All-Pac-10 honors this season with team-best averages of 17.1 points and 10.3 rebounds.
USC coach Kevin O'Neill also will attend the news conference, which is slated for 3 p.m. at Galen Center.

text: 000 FXUS63 KDDC 212015 AFDDDC Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Dodge City KS 215 PM CST Tue Feb 21 2017 ...Updated Long Term... .SHORT TERM...(This afternoon through Wednesday) Issued at 1151 AM CST Tue Feb 21 2017 Splendid spring weather continues, in February. A clear sky will continue this afternoon, with temperatures approaching record levels in the mid to upper 70s. SW downslope winds of 10-20 mph at midday will weaken by sunset. Tonight...Increasing mid/high clouds and a light downslope SW wind of 5-15 mph will work together to keep temperatures again unseasonably mild for February. Expecting all locations to remain above freezing, ranging from mid 30s NW to mid 40s SE. Wednesday...Continued unseasonably warm, with 70s for all zones during the afternoon, near 80 along the Oklahoma border. Per GFS soundings, introduced a period of mid/high overcast for several hours during the morning. Winds will be variable in direction, starting out SW in the morning, light and variable during the afternoon, then increasing from the SE late in the day in response to lee cyclogenesis in eastern Colorado. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday) Issued at 215 PM CST Tue Feb 21 2017 Dry weather will prevail across SW Kansas. The only exception to this is a possible period of rain or wet snow across the far NE counties Thursday evening. With dry weather persisting, that only leaves winds, temperature swings and fire weather concerns for impacts. Thursday...Strong shortwave over southern Utah at 6 am will race into western Kansas by 6 pm. As a result, strong cyclogenesis is expected across SW KS during the afternoon hours (12z ECMWF depicts 988 mb surface low near Kinsley around 4 pm). Exactly where this surface low tracks Thursday will have an impact on temperatures, wind fields, and where the fire danger will be highest. Along with WFOs AMA/OUN, increased winds south and SW of Dodge City, where gusts near 40 mph are likely from Elkhart to Liberal. Critical fire conditions are likely across far SW zones, potentially extremely critical along the Oklahoma border. A healthy temperature gradient is expected, ranging from near 60 north to near 80 south. An increase in clouds for a time Thursday morning, followed by clearing behind the departing surface cyclone. Thursday night...12z ECMWF continues to clip Trego/Ellis counties (I-70 corridor) with wraparound rain and/or wet snow for several hours Thursday evening. GFS, with its further north cyclone track, is completely dry across these areas. After coordination with ICT/GLD/GID, kept the slight chance pops offered by the model blend. System looks very progressive, which will make meaningful precipitation across our NE zones difficult to achieve. Primary impact Thursday night will be strong cold gusty NW winds behind the cold front. Friday...Windy and sharply colder. Any wraparound light snow expected to remain north of SW KS, although stratus may invade the northern zones. Temperatures actually below normal for a change, struggling into the low to mid 40s, with wind chills in the 20s and 30s. Not unusual for late February, but this winter it will be a shock. Friday night/Saturday morning...Cold. Models show consistency with Canadian surface high settling directly over SW KS. A hard freeze for all, with teens common across the NW CWA. This weekend...Continued dry with slowly moderating temperatures. Much warmer temperatures expected again early next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 1130 AM CST Tue Feb 21 2017 VFR conditions at all locations through the TAF period.

Congressman Roe says deployment to Syria unlikely
TENNESSEE - Even as militants in Syria release an American citizen, unrest continues to concern the United States. President Barack Obama has authorized reconnaissance flights over Syria as officials consider expanding action against ISIS militants.
The important thing for President Obama is to neutralize a growing terror threat. "And rooting out a cancer like ISIS won't be easy and it won't be quick," he said Tuesday.
Congressman Phil Roe agrees that the brutality needs to stop. "It's a humanitarian disaster. There has been literally hundreds of thousands of people murdered," he says.
U.S. air strikes are helping to push back ISIS advances in Iraq, but Joseph Fitsanakis, a local intelligence expert from King College, says that's not enough. "American pilots are good, but there's no way you can change the course of a war from 10,000 feet up in the air," he says.
News 5 asked Congressman Roe whether deployment was an option. He says it's not likely. "I don't think we'll have troops on the ground. I don't think so, unless American interests are at risk. If you have our citizens at risk, then yes," he says.
Fitsanakis says ISIS wants Americans out of the region, and Americans overall aren't willing to reengage in the Middle East since entering in 2003. "The local people don't trust you anymore because of what happened, and two, people in America don't trust you."
He added that there are 20,000 armed and trained militia members in Iraq alone, and that sending troops to engage in Iraq could be dangerous. "If there's going to be boots on the ground, this is going to be bloody," he says.
President Obama stressed Tuesday at the American Legion Convention in North Carolina that American combat troops will not be returning to Iraq.

As scores of Brooklyn residents and legal advocates began publicly protesting plans to consolidate the branches of Brooklyn Legal Services, the memory of deceased attorney Rick Wagner loomed large over the demonstrations.
Wagner, an attorney with Brooklyn Legal Services Corporation A since 1985, died suddenly in his home on September 20 from an apparent heart attack.He was widely regarded as one of the leading advocates for the city's poor affected by the mortgage foreclosure crisis.His work was concentrated in North Brooklyn, particularly Ocean Hill, Brownsville, and East New York, which are one of the epicenters of predatory lending in New York City. This past year, he won two civil cases (Watson v. Melnikoff, et. al. and Johnson v. Melnikoff) in Kings County Supreme Court, which may prove to be influential in other proceedings as the foreclosure crisis shifts to the judicial system.
"Mr. Wagner's lasting legacy will be his passion and commitment to social justice, and the application of his legal acumen for the needy," said Rep. Ed Towns (D-Brooklyn), who recognized Wagner in the Congressonal record. "Under his leadership, Brooklyn A has cemented its sterling reputation as a model community-based law practice embedded in and responsive to the neighborhoods it serves. He worked tirelessly and will be remembered dearly by the many lives he touched."
In the months preceding his death, Wagner was intensely involved in discussions with Corporation A attorneys and other stakeholders opposed to preliminary plans to restructure Legal Services New York's Brooklyn offices.Those plans were set in motion in November 2008, when LSNY Executive Director Andrew Scherer circulated a memo suggesting that the Board would be exploring ways to make Brooklyn Legal Services more efficient. In an interview, Scherer indicated that Wagner's death did not affect discussions to restructure Legal Services and he was saddened by the loss to the organization.
"Rick Wagner was one of the fiercest, feistiest, most creative, most effective, most fearless and most articulate lawyers I ever worked with," said Scherer. "Truth is, he was sometimes a royal pain as a colleague, but mostly his formidable energy was focused on righting wrongs and working with his clients to defend and improve their lives and their communities. His passing is an enormous loss."
Several of Wagner's colleagues, including Jessica Rose at Brooklyn Corporation A, noted that Wagner was opposed to any consolidation plans and was passionate about the issue.
"He cared very deeply about the future of Brooklyn A and its presence and connection to our local communities," said Rose, who called his presence "larger than life" and that "he was the best storyteller I ever met."
Brooklyn Corporation A attorney Marty Needelman called Wagner "his best friend" and believed that if Wagner were still alive, he would not have survived a consolidation move.
"He was in his own special way, neighborhood based, worked with community organizations and he wouldn't fit with a city-wide model," said Needelman."His personality and inclinations towards community group representations.He would have been out."
"There were times he just made me crazy.I started talking about him, and I found myself in tears," said Bryan."He would just make you crazy, but the thing about it, is that it was almost always about the work. Both of us would get wound up about it. It's like losing a north star; there was a certain sense of direction he provided.T
Los Sures Executive Director David Lopez, who invoked Wagner's memory at a LSNY demonstration in Manhattan, believes that it will be more difficult to fight not just the consolidation efforts but the range of predatory lending and foreclosure cases facing thousands of Brooklyn homeowners.
"Nobody did more in Brooklyn regarding mortgage foreclosure than Rick Wagner," said Lopez."The main thing is many tenants are suffering and he did a wonderful job there.It's sad, it's a loss."
A memorial service for Rick Wagner will occur on November 5 from 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. at Trey Whitfield School in Brownsville at 17 Hinsdale Street.For more information, call Brooklyn Corporation A at 718-487-2300.

An Open Letter To The "Respectable" Evangelical/Republican Party Leadership
To you "moderate" and "respectable" evangelical Christians and you "middle-of-the-road" and "ordinary" Republican fellow travelers -- as distinct from the extreme fundamentalist lunatic fringe and far right of both of your groups -- a word of warning.
You know me and you knew my late father Francis Schaeffer. Without his (and my) work evangelicalism and its close tie to the Republican Party would not exist as we know it. You also know that some 30 years ago you were giving me standing ovations in your biggest meetings, from the Religious Broadcaster's annual convention to the Southern Baptist annual convention. I preached in your leading churches from Falwell's church to Dr. Kennedy's. Now I'm like a pebble in your shoe that you wish would just go away. And believe me, I'd like nothing better than to forget my past. But before stepping back to the reality-based community I offer you a few words of warning.
The bubble of unreality and mythology you have chosen to live in is now coming back to haunt you. American "believers" are out there arming themselves, comparing our president to Hitler, saying that reform of health care would lead to "death panels." You respectable evangelical leaders -- and I'm talking about the editors of Christianity Today magazine, the people running the Billy Graham Association, you presidents of the evangelical universities and colleges from Wheaten to Gordon College and, yes, and you too Rick Warren -- you know perfectly well that the "birthers" and the "deathers" and all the rest represent the equivalent of your very own evangelical village idiot.
But how did your "village idiot" get so damned crazy? What did you do to contribute to this insanity where people get in the face of senators and congressmen and scream: "God will judge you"?! And if violence is used against our leaders because of the ramping up of the rhetoric who is to blame?
You respectable leaders are! Your silence is to blame! Your complicity in preaching myths is to blame!
Who is Glenn Beck's and Fox News' audience? Who are those 20 million Americans on the fringe of the fringe sucking up every lie told by Rush Limbaugh? They're mostly some of your people and you know it.
How did they get this way?
Because if you live in a mythical universe and parallel society you eventually begin to believe your own bullshit. If you divide the world into "lost" and "saved" and say God will punish the lost -- forever -- your hate of the "other" will someday explode.
How long did you think you could go on telling people that because of the legalization of abortion the federal government is your sworn enemy, before someone would take you seriously and kill an abortion provider thinking they are doing "God's will"? How long was it before people would entirely abandon reality and facts after they'd been weaned on your creationist anti-science myths? What about all your groups, such as the so-called Reconstructionists, that so many of your leaders quietly have been either part of or followers of that have a deeply embedded racism in their "theology?" What of the bizarre C-Street gang, and your tie-ins with them through such exercises in getting close to power like the Presidential Prayer Breakfasts? When have you all -- the respectable leaders -- stood up and denounced and called out your haters?
You the "moderate" evangelical leaders and "respectable" Republican leadership have nurtured the beast of ignorance in your bosom. Now it's about to bite you -- big-time. Your willfully ignorant followers are inflicting the rest of this country with the image of hate, intolerance and sheer stupidity on a level that is hard to believe. One of your own idealized leaders, a member in good standing for 25 years of the Assemblies of God denomination -- your very own fellow evangelical Sarah "Death Panel" Palin -- is what's left of the evangelical movement that used to follow sane writers like CS Lewis.
If you want to salvage anything of the movement that my father helped you build and that I contributed to (back in the day when people like James Dobson were giving away 150,000 copies of my book A Time For Anger), you'd better wake up and smell the coffee.
Here's the reality: by unhooking yourself from our culture, through your own hermetically sealed mirror image imitation culture, with your own TV stations, radio stations, publishing houses, bookstores, homeschool curriculum and on and on you've been living in an unreal universe. While you've been away there have been changes.
Let me bring you up to speed: The United States of America is a diverse, multicultural, multiethnic multireligious society. It doesn't belong to white middle-aged men yelling at meetings surrounded by their ignorant equally dumb rube women. This crap may have worked for 1920s lynch-mobs, but we've moved on.
This country belongs to black and brown and white people, to Asians to Hispanics, to atheists and agnostics and believers, and to the folks like me who used to be Republicans and left in disgust and voted for President Obama. It belongs to gay people who have the right to live together, marry and raise families. It also belongs to people like me who consider themselves to be Christians but are ashamed to be addressed as such, given that your village idiots are the image of what our faith has come to mean: the hate-filled, anti-gay, anti-Obama party of reaction.
If you wish to save what is left of your movement, it might be an idea to begin to tell your people that you've been wrong about a lot of things. Rejoin the rest of us. Let your kids go to schools with other children instead of hiding them away like jars of last year's jam in your homeschool and Christian "school" cupboards. Watch, listen and read something once in awhile it isn't derived from your own hermetically sealed subculture. And while you're at it, get used to the idea that our black President is a great man and that he has a good chance of leading us out of the wilderness the born-again idiot Bush led us into -- if you will call off your attack dogs and allow our President to do his job.
Do any of you still follow Jesus? Would Jesus make himself the tool of the insurance companies' and lobbyists depriving the poor of care?

Frank, what the evangelicals need to see is how much they have been deceived and how their behaviour does not glorify God or bring honor to his name. How can anyone believe that an evangelical knows the truth about God whom they have not seen, when they don't know the truth in their own world, which is readily verifiable. And when they act in such a hateful, fearful, attacking way, they do not show the love of God. When they act so fearfully, it shows that they don't have faith either. When they follow demagogues they are ready to follow an anti-Christ.
The church is ready to be ripped apart and the church could be responsible for ripping up our country, for causing civil war. It is definitely not bringing the Prince of Peace to our world.
Frank, someone needs to teach the basics of Christianity again. Who can do it? Who will do it?

Wow! I have only recently caught up with you - Pearls before swine was excellent, it got me thinking about American Catholicism's love of entertainment in the liturgy - and now see that I have been missing quite a bit.
The few posts of yours that I have read so far not only ring of truth-telling but also of anger. I pray that your anger gets not the best of you.
The challenge of bringing Christianity back into the mainstream, it seems to me, can only be met by those who have been faithful to Jesus Christ and His Church. Certainly those church groups and personages who are about power and control cannot bring this country or any other to the Lord.
The Holy Spirit seems to be moving Metropolitan Jonah in this direction and toward the setting of the Orthodox on fire. Only by faithfully proclaiming the Gospel in a Local Church fired up by the Spirit can American Christians, especially the Orthodox, teach the basics of Christianity within our American land.

Wow indeed!
Frank, I wrote you an email an hour or so ago. I had not actuallly "finished" Crazy for God," I still had some 30 pages to go. My final reaction to finishing your book is: you're one lucky man, one lucky dude." Having just read this piece, you are also one angry mother-fucker! I wish you the best of both (good luck and good anger), well-placed rage is an appropriate response to some of the unnecessary craziness being heaped upon the world.
Should you ever be in the DC area, email me ahead, please.

I have also just caught up with Frank Schaeffer, and am happy to see you throwing the money changer tables over in the "temple."
However, I believe you have missed something regarding diversity in this kulture. This kulture is not diverse - it is anything but diverse - take a look around. I believe you have stumbled. Take a look at the lack of diversity. All that remains are maybe two uniform viewpoints today. Diversity is dead. I like your appreciation of the president, but I call you out to find the diversity in that viewpoint.
The kulture does not need health care - it needs an annihilation of the concept of insurance - it won't happen, but that is the largest corruption against what we might seem to need regarding cost containment in health implements and care. While I don't like insco at all, I am also walking directly in to the next criticism I have in this kulture - our worship of mammon all around. We worship price, we worship dollar. We don't give a flying fuck about anyone but our almighty dollar and the almighty price. Jobs running to any corner of the planet but our back yard - all in the name of price. The worship of dollar causes us to grab all we can, since we can - again, without any concern for anyone else around us.
I join your anger - but you are not going far enough. We need more diversity, less uniformity. Uniformity commences at our leaning in to government for all things. Diversity commences at letting us struggle and finding the solution without any government involvement - necessity being the mother of invention. As a former "leader" in an anger that is coming full circle, I hope and pray that you can see yourself to another leadership position like your dad kulutured - get something a bit more diverse than the kulture today is pushing today.
Thanks for your anger and commentary - take it to the next level.

Hi Frank,
Wow, lots of hatred in your post. Like a typical liberal you wander from one point to the next giving few examples of what you are talking about but are liberal with the name calling and attacks. There are so many topics in a single post it is difficult to even no where to start to respond. So here goes.
Health care reform will ration care. Obama made that very clear in the Colorado town hall - listen to his closing remarks (major points for his honesty, he did not use the word ration but the implied message to fiscal conservatives was there). Medicare is going broke as is is built of a pyramid scheme that requires more workers entering the work force than retirees in ever increasing numbers. Simple math means that either Medicare is going to go broke, benefits cut and rationed, or taxes are going through the roof. Cutting wasteful spending is not going to close the gap, because much of the spending increase is due to the massive number baby boomers retiring and the availability of new expensive drugs and surgerical methods constantly becoming available. Thus the gov will ration, thus they will decide what treatment grandma is going to get, thus they will decide how much end of life care is given. They already do this in the UK, Canada, etc.
20M Americans listening to Rush Limbaugh, etc. have 80M kids, relatives, etc. that are conservative and don't listen. 40% of Americans now consider themselves conservative, the plurality are now pro-life. They are not a fringe of a fringe. You don't seem very factually inclined. To each his own - God Bless.

Frank, you may be well-meaning, but you are naive to believe that government-run health care is not going to result in handing over life and death decisions to evil people with the power to coerce with the full weight of the U.S. Department of Justice and the IRS. This is so against everything I know about the U.S.A. I defended in the armed forces and the thought leadership that formulated this country's founding and sustenance.

Frank, I have been following some of your posts lately, while trying to understand where you are coming from spiritually and intellectually. My wife has recently read your trilogy and "Crazy ..." and has read to me or shared highlights from these books with me.
In your above blog you seem to tie in secret racism with creationist anti-science myths all in one paragraph. I assert that these two concepts are very ill-related. There are many people who honestly are attempting to take Jesus Christ at his word. Jesus spoke of Adam and Eve as real people, and there is no evidence in the scriptures that he attempted to correct the record as if the creation narrative in Genesis is a myth. If all things were not made through the Word who became flesh as stated in John's Gospel, then Jesus Christ is has no right as Savior of all humanity, or anyone. Darwin, though, attempted to show how, through purely natural processes, Europeans evolved from lower races, and therefore have the natural right to subjugate those presumed lower races. Original Christianity embraced the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch. Darwinism justified a century of brutal and genocidal subjugation of presumed lower life forms through science and a century of Darwinistic colonialism. European culture no longer had to uncomfortably dodge egalitarian teachings of Christ and the Apostles. Rather science liberated the conscience of Europeans to mass murder and subjugate "uncivilized" colonial "sub-humans" on a whole new level. Darwin made their greed scientific and respectable. The first German concentration camps were not built in Europe for Jews but rather in Namibia for Africans in 1904. But modern science does not want to shake the love for aristocratic respectability of Darwinism. Where is the connection between Biblical creation and modern racism? It is in the minds of the misinformed. Modern science has much more to do with genocidal colonial racism on a grand scale since Darwin's Origin of Species.

Hey. I just finished reading Crazy for God - and it left me feeling, I don't know. Just that tears are streaming down my face. I guess it left me feeling weirdly grateful that someone, somewhere in America who knows the evangelical place that I'm from and that I still very much love - also sees through the crazy schtick mess we seem to be in b/c we don't believe Jesus when He said His Kingdom wasn't of this world.
I'm so tired and weary of the mixed up kingdoms - the near Kingdom, the here Kingdom the coming Kingdom - and instead of us having the resolve to contemplate what these things might mean - we do the easier, crazier jump-into-the-political-fray-of-U.S. -politics -- thinking this is "kingdom" work - ?
So thank you for being honest and maybe not always right, but at least honest since right isn't always discernable - and besides, who's to say what is right? God, yes - yet we make such weird mistakes when we think we can always speak on His behalf. But honesty and truthfulness - at least of one's own story - is possible.
Thanks for doing "your possible" with Crazy for God. It messed with me in a way I didn't expect.
Now it's on to Amazon to order Portofino.
