Information on areas of land loss in several countries of Latin America as
a result of sea-level rise is synthesized in Table 6-5 of the IPCC Special Report
on Regional Impacts of Climate Change (IPCC, 1998). Fishing production is a
sector that would suffer as a consequence of sea-level rise. Along the Central
American coastline, sea-level rise will affect infrastructure, agriculture,
and natural resources, as well as potentially exacerbate coastal erosion and
salinization of aquifers and increase flood risks and the impact of severe storms
(Campos et al., 1997; MINAE-IMN, 2000).
Chapter 6 of the Special Report identified information on the economic cost
of sea-level rise in Latin America as assessed by Saizar (1997) and Olivo (1997)
for the Uruguayan and Venezuelan coastlines, respectively. Saizar (1997) assessed
the potential impacts of a 0.5-m sea-level rise on the coast of Montevideo (Uruguay).
Given no adaptive response, the cost of such a rise in sea level was estimated
to be US$23 million, with a shoreline recession of 56 m and land loss of 6.8
ha. Olivo (1997) studied the potential economic impacts of a 0.5-m sea-level
rise on the coast of Venezuela. At six study sites, she identified land and
infrastructure at risksuch as oil infrastructure, urban areas, and tourist
infrastructure. Evaluating four scenarios, Olivo (1997) suggests that Venezuela
cannot afford the costs of sea-level rise, either in terms of land and infrastructure
lost under a no-protection policy or in terms of the costs involved in any of
three protection policies.
Coastal wetlands in the region endure the impact of population growth, expansion
of the agricultural activity, and land-use changes.
Observed sea-level rise at the local or regional level in Latin America could
be greater than the global average value (Field, 1995; Codignotto, 1997; Kjerve
and Macintosh, 1997). Negative trends in river streamflow along the Patagonian
coast may result in reduction of sediments toward deposition areas. Coastal
erosion would be affected by this effect as well as increased sea level (Codignotto,
1997; Kokot, 1999).
The response of mangrove forests to changes in sea level within 50-100
years under climate change conditions is complex and controversial; it depends
on physiography as well as ecological and biological factors (Villamizar, 1994;
Ellison and Farnsworth, 1996; Ewel and Twilley, 1998; Rull et al., 1999).
The land-building function of mangrove vegetation has very important implications
in coastal management because it works as a natural barrier to protect adjacent
agricultural land by reducing erosion caused by wave action, tides, and river
flow. This is important for shallow estuaries that are prone to flooding, especially
where the land is below sea level (Twilley et al., 1997; Villamizar and
Fonseca, 1999).
In the tropical Americas, the loss of coastal forests, mainly mangroves, occurs
at a rate of approximately 1% yr-1. The rate is much faster in the
Caribbeanapproximately 1.7% yr-1 (Ellison and Farnsworth, 1997).
Because most commercial shellfish and finfish use mangal for nurseries and refuge,
fisheries in mangrove regions are declining at a similar rate as mangrove communities
(Martínez et al., 1995; Ewel and Twilley, 1998).

The Zaire-born England under-21 international fell face-down to the pitch near the halfway line without any players near him.
Medics rushed onto the pitch with a defibrillator and treated the 23-year-old Muamba, pumping his chest for around six minutes of treatment before he was rushed to hospital.
"Fabrice Muamba has been admitted to the heart attack centre at London Chest Hospital where he is currently in a critically ill condition in intensive care," Bolton said in a statement around three hours after the incident.
"No further information will be issued at this stage. The club has requested the media to respect his family's privacy at this time."
When Muamba collapsed in the 41st minute of the FA Cup match, Bolton manager Owen Coyle shouted from the touchline: "He's just collapsed."
Tottenham players William Gallas and Louis Saha along with referee Howard Webb immediately beckoned for medical support as the quarter-final was stopped.
Some players appeared to be praying as fans chanted Muamba's name between periods of complete silence at White Hart Lane.
After Muamba was carried off on a stretcher to applause from the crowd with an oxygen mask and with his chest still being pumped, all the players also left the pitch before Webb abandoned the match.
Coyle and striker Kevin Davies accompanied Muamba to hospital, while the rest of the squad returned to northwest England by train.
"Terrible what happened with Muamba during the game," Rafael van der Vaart, who started the game for Tottenham, wrote on Twitter. "We're all praying for him."
Muamba's Bolton teammate Stuart Holden, who was watching the game on television, tweeted: "Praying for you Fab."
"Waiting anxiously for updates from teammates," he added. "Fab is a fighter!"
Fabrice Ndala Muamba was born in what was then called Zaire on April 6, 1988. His father left the country because of political turmoil and settled in England, and Muamba joined Arsenal's youth academy in 2002.
He made his debut at age 17 on Oct. 25, 2005, in the League Cup at Sunderland, and was loaned to Birmingham in the League Championship the following season. The loan was made permanent in May 2007, and he made his Premier League debut for Birmingham in 2007-08 before joining Bolton in June 2008.
"I seriously hope my best friend in football is OK. Stay strong bro please please stay strong," said Middlesbrough defender Justin Hoyte, who came through the Arsenal youth team with Muamba.
Muamba has been part of England's youth team system and was a member of its team at last year's European Under-21 Championship, where he came on as a substitute against Ukraine and started against the Czech Republic.
"On behalf of The FA, I would like to send our thoughts and prayers to Fabrice Muamba and his family this evening," FA chairman David Bernstein said. "Fabrice has played 33 times for England Under-21s, captaining Stuart Pearce's side during this time and is a player, and more importantly, a person we care greatly for. We are in contact with Bolton Wanderers over Fabrice's condition and are awaiting updates."

I Have a Robot, and I'm Not Afraid to Use It!
Robots (and roboticists) increasingly appear at the Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (AAMAS) conferences because the community uses robots both to inspire AAMAS research as well as to conduct it. In this article, I submit that the growing success of robotics at AAMAS is due not only to the nurturing efforts of the AAMAS community, but mainly to the increasing recognition of an important, deeper, truth: it is scientifically useful to roboticists and agent researchers to think of robots as agents.

Q: My right hand swelled up the size of a boxing glove over night, and was very painful. My doctor said she thought it was gout. I took all the tests for gout and they were all negative… Now I wake up with my hand & arm stiff, painful & swollen. The only thing I can do is put them under very hot water and the pain and swelling go down. If the tests I took were negative for gout, could this be part of my FM?
Dr. Wrightson answers: Although your symptoms are not typical of fibromyalgia, there is not a definitive answer to your questions of whether they are related to the FM. Most likely, though, your pain and swollen joints are related to the gout that your doctor diagnosed. Although your laboratory tests did not show any findings that are indicative of gout, this condition is often diagnosed through clinical symptoms alone.
Gout is an inflammatory arthritis that is characterized by swollen joints due to an increase of uric acid accumulation in the body. This build-up of uric acid can often occur with an excessive intake of food and/or alcohol, after surgery, or during physical or emotional stress.
Typical symptoms of gout include the following:
• Pain and swelling in a single joint, with the big toe being the most often affected, although other joints can be affected.
• Joint is purple-red, hot, inflamed.
• Pain occurs abruptly, with symptoms lasting a few days to weeks, and can re-occur spontaneously.
• Lumps of uric acid crystals can be found (called tophi) under the skin in recurrent attacks, and are often found in the arm, hands, feet, elbow or knee.
Lifestyle and dietary changes can often assist in decreasing or eliminating the recurrence of gout. Here are some tips to ensure that you do not have recurrent attacks:
• Maintain a healthy weight through balanced nutrition.
• Drink plenty of water each day to help the kidneys flush out excess uric acid. Goal is 64 ounces per day.
• Eat a diet that is relatively free from foods containing purines, which can increase the amount of uric acid accumulation.
– High purine foods include: beef, goose, organ meats, sweetbreads, mussels, anchovies, herring, mackerel, and yeast.
– Foods with a moderate amount of purines include meats, poultry, fish, and shellfish not listed above.
– Spinach, asparagus, beans, lentils, mushrooms, and dried peas also contain moderate amounts of purines.
• Quercetin is an anti-oxidant that can help to decrease the amount of uric acid in your body. It is typically taken with Bromelain, an anti-inflammatory enzyme. They can both be taken at dosages between 200-300 mg/day.
• EPA (omega-3 essential fatty acids) from fish oils are anti-inflammatory and can help to reduce the inflammation that is caused by gout. Dosages of 1500 mg per day are useful. (Note that purines are found in the meat of some fish, but not in purified fish oil, where liquid oil is separated from the tissues by a process known as molecular distillation.)
Again, though your symptoms are not typical of fibromyalgia, there is not a definitive answer to your questions of whether they are related to the FM. The condition that you described sounds like it is an inflammatory condition that is related to gout or arthritis.
If your symptoms persist with no relief from dietary changes or supplements, you may want to consult another physician for further testing.

this product has saved my relationship!
no more chain tattoo's on my other halfs leg has meant a reduction in shouting at home!
If you're thinking of buying this product using a cashback deal why not use the road.cc Top Cashback page and get some top cashback while helping to support your favourite independent cycling website
White Lightning make a whole bunch of oils and potions to lube your bicycle with, and they now make the Chain Johnny which is a, um, sheath to protect all those bicycle oils from getting onto things that you don't want oil on, or stop it being washed off.
Invented by David Bolch, a former professional team soigneur to the Saturn, US Postal and Discovery Channel cycling teams, the Chain Johnny is a rip-resistant, 2-ply rubber/nylon cover for your road or mountainbike's drivetrain to protect other stuff from oily smears or chainring rips.
It works when it's being transported in the car or kept indoors. It's also water resistant so the drivetrain can be protected on the roof of the car, or if the bike is stored outside or in the garage for any time.
The Johnny won't cover pedals so there's the tiniest bit of faff getting the cranks into the correct upright position when fitting but apart from that it's a simple operation; slide the fatter end of the Chain Johnny over the chainset, pull the other end over the rear mech, pull the rear flap round the back and over the top run of chain and round the seatstay then press the Velcro bits together to hold it all in place. Job done.
White Lightning recommends you shift the chain into specific gears for a good fit but I never bothered with that, or plain forgot, and it was just fine. The Chain Johnny doesn't actually wrap over the cassette to shield it completely, but it does cover it, protecting it and other things from it.
At first glance the Chain Johnny looks like one of those kooky things you see in the small back-page adverts in magazines, or something you might see on a shopping channel at three in the morning - a home-inventors bright idea that solves a problem that isn't really there. But actually it's a lot more useful than I ever thought it would be. If you throw your bike in the back of the car a lot, I do, it saves the car and anything that you might squash in alongside it from chain related grime and chainring scars, something that's especially handy after gritty rides, and it also keeps oily crap off you when man-handling the bike.
Plus, it's a lot more pleasant than the manky collection of rags and blankets usually pressed into protective service. On top of that if your bike lives indoors with you because of cramped accommodation or because the bike stays in the house with you, just because, well, you know - then it saves er, 'discussions' about oily streaks on cats and floaty clothing.
I'm not so sure about trusting it for when the bike's on a roof-rack, for while the Chain Johnny protects the majority of the drivetrain there are big gaps round the back where hi-speed rain can easily find a way in, so it's in no way a hermetic seal against motorway moisture. Nor for bikes left in damp garages or outside where the Chain Johnny looks like an effective little rust-promoting device, keeping any wandering wetness trapped inside.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Chain Johnny. I thought it was going to be one of those useless bits of bike-related tatt, the sort of thing the well-meaning relative gives you for Christmas that goes straight on Ebay the next day. It's a genuinely useful bit of kit if you frequently shoehorn your bike into the car for rides or races. It's also handy if other people insist on sharing the house with your bikes, avoiding black marks on clothes as they brush past, and it shows you're making an effort.
It will keep the drivetrain clean when the rest of the bike is being smeared with dead flies when it's on a roof-rack, and repel most wetness. Bear in mind though, that the design of the Chain Johnny means if left unchecked it could make quite a counter-productive reservoir for water if well-meaningly used to protect a bike whilst outside.
Surprisingly useful chain sheath for home and car protection.
Make and model: White Lightning The Chain Johnny
Size tested: n/a
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
The White Lightning Chain Johnny solves the problem of how to transport bikes without making a mess. Anyone who has ever loaded a bicycle into their car probably has battle scars on their upholstery: a tear from a sharp gear or a messy grease stain. Now, White Lightning's cover protects both rides''the vehicle's interior and the bicycle's drivetrain. It is also water resistant to protect the drivetrain itself when transporting bicycles on vehicle-mounted bike racks or storing them in the garage during the winter. Apartment and college dorm dwellers are also using the Chain Johnny to shield their greasy chains when storing their bikes indoors. Protect your valuables, put a Johnny on it.
I'd agree with the less messy transport solution and oily chain barrier if the bike is stored inside, less convinced about the roof-rack and external storage uses though.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Rip-resistant, 2-ply rubber/nylon, fits all road and MTB bikes.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
It kept the drivetrain from grubbing everything up and tearing holes in things when being carried in the car, job done.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
It kept grime off the car and my stuff. Although if you've seen my car you'd wonder why I care.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes, surprisingly.
Would you consider buying the product? I wouldn't previously have thought so, but yes.
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes.

Jo Burt has spent the majority of his life riding bikes, drawing bikes and writing about bikes. When he's not scribbling pictures for the whole gamut of cycling media he writes words about them for road.cc and when he's not doing either of those he's pedaling. Then in whatever spare minutes there are in between he's agonizing over getting his socks, cycling cap and bar-tape to coordinate just so. And is quietly disappointed that yours don't He rides and races road bikes a bit, cyclo-cross bikes a lot and mountainbikes a fair bit too. Would rather be up a mountain.

UWO Love Stories
A shared love of nature and a passion for lifelong learning make alumni Anita MS '83 and Gerald Carpenter '65, of Oshkosh, a perfect pair. Already a pharmacist, Anita returned to graduate studies at UW Oshkosh to learn more about biology and the great outdoors. Gerald says he never really stopped going to school, as he served more than 40 years as a reference librarian at UWO, before retiring in 2010. Since marrying in 1974, the couple has watched their beloved campus grow and thousands of college students follow their own educational quests. Today, giving back to their alma mater comes naturally to the Carpenters ... a special way to say "thank you" for a lifetime of learning and new opportunities.
Michael and Sarah Garvey
The chemistry between alumni Sarah (Kieper) Garvey '06, and Michael Garvey '07, began in fall 2005. Soon after studying together for a physical chemistry laboratory test, Sarah and Michael began dating. They married in July 2008 and are both pursuing doctorates in chemistry. "It's amazing to think how taking one class could change your life so drastically," Sarah said. "We owe it all to UWO. It's a wonderful school, and we are proud to be alumni."
Joe and Maggie Jones
Cupid must have been on duty as Joe Jones '71, prepared for his first- ever college date back in 1967, with education major Maggie Bast, '68. "That evening we began a love and best friend relationship that has lasted for nearly 40 years," Joe said. Just as Wisconsin State University at Oshkosh was changing its name to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, "we were planning a name change of our own, and Maggie Bast became Maggie Jones in January 1969," he said. "In many ways, the college years were the best times of our lives, but now that we're in our 60s, we realize that every decade provides aspects that make that time the best."
Kevin and Katherine Karstedt
Kevin Karstedt '85 felt "love at first sight" when he spotted Katherine (Nimke) Karstedt '85 in his fall 1984 business class. Kevin made an effort to appear at Katherine's favorite study spots, and slowly was able to make conversation with her. Soon graduation was upon both of them, and their paths seemed to separate, only for a moment, as their paths crossed once again at Kevin's brothers commencement ceremony. Kevin says their first kiss still lingers in his mind, in July they celebrate 25 years together.
Connie and David Van Lieshout
Connie (Lescher) Van Lieshout '69, and David Van Lieshout's '68 and MA '70, lives intersected in a math class on campus in fall 1965. For their first Valentine's Day together, David spelled out "I love you" in the snow on the tennis courts behind Dempsey Hall. The couple married in 1968 and started their long teaching careers in 1969."Being teachers meant being involved in the lives of students, parents, faculty and staff. We think to touch young, developing minds is the most valuable work a person can do," said the Green Bay couple.
Dean and Judith Moede
As freshmen in 1961, Dean Moede'65, and Judith (Marks) Moede'65 and MSE '71, sat next to each other in ancient history class — thanks to the professor's alphabetical seating chart. Later that afternoon, Dean told his house parents that he had met the girl he would marry. Their love blossomed during college. They enjoyed Greek life activities, long walks around Oshkosh and cheering on the Titans in a very crowded Albee Hall. "Our memories of campus are really quite special to us, because our hearts are there," Dean said. This year, the Moedes celebrated 47 years together. All three of their children are UW Oshkosh graduates, too.
Julius and Stacy Stecker
Julius Stecker '02 and Stacy (Hoekstra) Stecker '02 meet while UWO. Julius majored in communications and Stacy in Spanish and international studies. Stacy is an English as a second language teacher for the Sun Prairie School District, and Julius works for Collette Vacations. They have a beautiful son, Elijah.

Occurrence and Recommended Treatment of Lymphedema
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I had a total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingioopherectomy, pelvic and peri-aotic lymph node dissection last year for left low malignant potential ovarian tumor. About 3 months after surgery I realized my left calf and ankle were enlarged. Ultrasound was negative for blood clot. My surgeon says it is lymphedema. I would appreciate any information you can provide about this occurrence and recommended treatment.
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
The lymphatic system is responsible for collecting fluid and proteins from body tissues. Small vessels carry this fluid to regional lymph nodes, and eventually drain the fluid back into the bloodstream. Lymphedema occurs when these vessels are blocked. Excess fluid and protein accumulates in the tissues and leads to swelling. Some patients develop lymphedema as a result of a developmental problem with the lymphatic vessels. Other patients develop lymphedema due to the spread of cancer to regional lymph nodes or, as in your case, by the surgical removal of the lymph nodes, particularly when radiation therapy is also administered.
Controlling lymphedema can be a difficult problem. I would recommend you seek out a specialist in the area. Often, treatment starts with simple measures such as leg elevation and sequential pneumatic compression boots that provide massage to the leg. Firm elastic stockings, or specially fitted elastic garments can also help the swelling. Lymphatic flow can be enhanced by physical exercise and by a technique of massage called effleurage. If you notice any discoloration of the skin or sores on your affected leg, you should see a physician for evaluation.

All signs are made with painted pine and decorated with outdoor vinyl (so it can be placed outside). If placing directly in the weather, I suggest adding a clear coat sealer to protect it from aging. Because signs are made with a pine wood board, wood might contain knots, varied wood grain, and different textures. This is intentional and adds to the characteristics of the sign.

On Friday 16 March 2012 health workers, counselling organisations, activists and the National Department of Health met in Hillbrow to discuss how to improve HIV testing and counselling. The meeting was hosted by the Southern African HIV Clinicians Society, the Treatment Action Campaign and SECTION27.
The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) is deeply concerned about reports of stock shortages of the essential antiretroviral medicine, tenofovir, in the public health system. Tenofovir is part of the standard regimen prescribed to people with HIV initiating antiretroviral treatment. It is a potent suppressor of HIV with an excellent side effect profile. It is a life-saving drug and one of the most important in the public health system.
The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) supports the national strike by the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) on Wednesday 7 March 2012 against e-tolling systems and exploitation by labour brokers.
The new National Strategic Plan on HIV, STIs and TB, 2012-2016 (NSP), like its predecessor, has a substantial M&E section. But despite its ambitious targets, there was poor M&E following the last NSP. At the time, the Department of Health lacked the will and staff to get M&E right.
An Open Letter to the Citizens of Europe from Nonkosi Khumalo, Chairperson of the Treatment Action Campaign, South Africa
"We are writing to you as people living with HIV/AIDS, who rely on access to affordable medicines to stay alive. We are writing you because your governments are pushing to limit our access to medicines through a Free Trade Agreement the EU is negotiating with India, which is the world's largest producer of affordable generic medicines. This week, as the EU and India meet for a summit in Delhi, our lives hang in the balance as the two sides make trade-offs to come to an agreement. Don't let your governments trade away our lives."
Most of the recipients of South Africa's Global Fund Round 6 grant have written an open letter to health Minister, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi on the delay of grant payments. The recipients have asked the Minister to intervene and avoid imminent closure of life-saving programmes.
Members of MSF-SA, TAC, Section 27 and He-Tic will picket at the Consulate General of India this Wednesday, 8th February to voice their concerns about the anti-public health policies being pushed on India by the European Union as part of a free trade agreement being discussed at the upcoming EU-India Summit in New Delhi on 10th February.
The Treatment Action Campaign and SECTION27 have written a letter to the High Commissioner for India in South Africa requesting a meeting prior to the EU-India Summit which be held on 10 February 2012. The two organisations want to discuss provisions for the scale up of intellectual property, pushed by the European Union, in the impending EU-India Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and the impact of these provisions on the health of people across the developing world.
South Africa's Patents Act fails to make use of the pro-public health provisions included in the TRIPS agreement and reaffirmed in the Doha Declaration. This is highly problematic given the massive disease burden in South Africa and the continuing rise in healthcare costs.This briefing paper details the legislative amendments that South Africa can make (within its rights under the TRIPS agreement) to its Patents Act. These amendments will facilitate the use of flexibilities within TRIPS to protect health.

Art has concerned philosophers from the beginning. In The Republic, Plato denounced art as mere imitation. For Hegel, too, art was subordinate to philosophy; in 1828 he wrote that art "in its highest vocation, is and remains for us a thing of the past." More recently, philosophy professor Arthur C. Danto announced "the end of art" in 1984.
But Danto didn't mean that artists were no longer making art; rather, he was referring to the end of art history. Throughout much of this history, artists–from Hellenistic sculptors in ancient Greece to academic realist painters of nineteenth-century France–sought to realistically depict the natural world. But with the advent of Modernism, realism devolved in a rapid denouement–brush strokes became visible and bold, color was expressive rather than authentic and the figure became increasingly sketchy and crude until nothing remained but pure abstraction. By the 1980s, however, this linear progression came to an abrupt end as the art world entered a new, pluralistic era. This era was not defined by a dominant school or movement but was characterized by its lack thereof.
The same year he declared art history to be over, Danto became The Nation's art critic. With no dominant movement to champion or art-historical future to prophesize, he redefined art criticism as the "first post-historical critic of art."
In some ways, Danto's midcareer shift to art criticism is unsurprising; after studying art at Wayne State University he moved to New York, where he had a short-lived career as an artist in the 1950s. "I showed around a lot," he recalls, painting like "Franz Kline but figuratively." But Danto was studying philosophy in addition to pursuing art. "I liked writing philosophy better, so I just stopped cold," he says. "Doing philosophy and art at the same time was like living two lives–and one life was enough." From that point on, Danto was "single-mindedly a philosopher," as he wrote in his book After the End of Art, eventually becoming a professor of philosophy at Columbia in 1966.
In the 1960s, Danto "got bowled over by Pop Art," a movement that embraced the brash visual imagery of consumer culture. An encounter with Andy Warhol's Brillo Box in 1964 at the Stable Gallery in New York inspired him to write on the new movement–but for philosophers. "I thought, If that's possible [for a Brillo box to be perceived as art], anything is possible. It then occurred to me that I could write philosophically about this," he recalls. Danto was intrigued by the problematic relationship of the two Brillo boxes–the "real" Brillo box and Warhol's Brillo Box installation. Since the Brillo boxes look identical, Danto wondered, what makes one a work of art? This question led Danto to write his first book on art, The Transfiguration of the Commonplace.

Strip away the emotion and the political correctness from the debate about same-sex marriage, if you can (it's baked on pretty thick). What you're left with is a pell-mell rush to alter drastically society's most fundamental institution, without anyone knowing what the consequences of that change would be.
You're also left with genuine questions about the welfare of children, which ought to be of paramount concern.
As the Washington Post noted this week, social science has scant data on the subject. That hasn't kept venerable institutions such as the American Psychological Association from declaring it settled science that there is no difference between biological parenting and same-sex parenting. Because of the emotion surrounding this issue, analysts risk their reputations if they merely examine such conclusions critically, which is a huge problem in and of itself. Any side in a debate that rejects critical thinking out of hand should be suspect.
Two social scientists who persist in studying the issue, nonetheless, are Leon Kass of the University of Chicago and Harvey Mansfield of Harvard. They have found the research so far, "… radically inconclusive."
The Weekly Standard quotes Loren Marks of Louisiana State University as having studied the American Psychological Association data and found it riddled with flaws.
The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments this week in two same-sex marriage related cases. One option before the court is to strike down state constitutional provisions and statutes found in the vast majority of states that uphold the traditional concept of marriage as between a man and a woman.
Given how little we know about the full societal costs associated with altering the root of family life, we urge the court to uphold traditional marriage.
As Heritage Foundation fellow Ryan T. Anderson recently wrote, "Redefining marriage would further distance marriage from the needs of children and deny the importance of mothers and fathers. It would deny, as a matter of policy, the ideal that children need a mother and a father.
"Redefining marriage would also diminish the social pressures and incentives for husbands to remain with their wives and their biological children and for men and women to marry before having children. It would be very difficult for the law to send a message that fathers matter once it had redefined marriage to make fathers optional."
On the subject of fathers, by the way, social science is not ambiguous. Children raised in households headed by a single mother (the most common single-parent situation) face many disadvantages, often through no fault of the mother. It would be wrong to assume this is merely because the child needs just two people, of any gender, in a parental role. Fathers and mothers, men and women, provide unique role models and nurturing capabilities from which children develop into healthy, balanced adults.
During arguments this week, Justice Samuel Alito wondered aloud about the wisdom of rendering "a decision based on an assessment of the effects of this institution which is newer than cellphones or the Internet."
Unlike new modes of communication, however, the redefinition of marriage tinkers with the foundation of an age-old transcultural institution that has been remarkably robust at raising children. Marriage that is framed around biological parenting channels procreative passions that link parents together with the protection and nurture of children. That should not be a decision subject to emotion, one-sided demagoguery or opinion polling. The consequences at stake are far too great.

Doherty Gets Four Points, Four Ground Balls, Three Draw Controls and Three Caused Turnovers
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale attack came back in a big way Friday afternoon vs. Cal at Reese Stadium. After being limited to a season-low five goals in a 6-5 loss at BU Wednesday, the Bulldogs scored a season-high 17 times against the Golden Bears for a 17-6 win that snapped a three-game losing streak. The Bulldogs scored the final eight goals of the game to win going away.
After starting the season with five wins in which they averaged 13 goals per game, the Bulldogs had seen their goals scored decrease for three straight games -- all losses. The loss to the Terriers Wednesday wound up providing the impetus to reverse that trend.
"We made some changes after Wednesday," said Anne Phillips, Yale's Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Women's Lacrosse. "We put in a revised offense that worked better, and we got some good looks. We had always been good at scoring in transition, but we were struggling to get settled, 7v7 goals."
Yale (6-3, 1-2 Ivy League) finished with 12 assists -- the most in a game for the Bulldogs in at least eight years. They also shot an impressive .753 (17 for 26). And after seeing their streak of seven straight games of winning the draw control snapped Wednesday, they responded by winning 16 of 25 draws Friday.
"Two of our goals were to get roughly half of our goals via settled attack, and to do better at the draw control," said Phillips. "Those were two big improvements that we made, and it resulted in more scoring opportunities."
Sophomore attacker Nicole Daniggelis wound up helping dramatically in those categories, as she had four goals, four assists and nine draw controls. After she opened the scoring with a goal three minutes into the game, Cal briefly took the lead by scoring the next two goals. But the Bulldogs responded with a 4-0 run.
Daniggelis started the run with a pair of goals -- one assisted by senior attacker Jen DeVito and one assisted by junior midfielder Erin Magnuson. Junior midfielder Christina Doherty then scored of a Magnuson assist, and DeVito scored by firing in a shot after grabbing the ground ball following a save by Cal goalie Helen Hansen on a Yale free position attempt. That made the score 5-2 Yale at 7:36 of the first.
Midfielder Gaby Christman momentarily stopped Yale's momentum with a goal for Cal at the 6:55 mark, but Magnuson scored off a DeVito assist and Doherty scored on a free position to send Yale into halftime with a 7-3 lead. Doherty then grabbed the first draw control of the second half, and that enabled DeVito to set up senior midfielder Julie Mongan for a goal 30 seconds in.
Cal (2-6, 1-1 MPSF) made one final run, scoring three of the next four goals to pull within 9-6. The lone Yale tally in that stretch was a free position goal by Doherty.
With the lead trimmed to three goals, Yale called timeout. Shortly after that Daniggelis drew a foul right outside the 8-meter fan, and she had just enough space after the re-start to whip a shot in from distance and put Yale ahead 10-6 with 14:44 to play.
After that it was all Bulldogs, as DeVito scored three more times, junior midfielder Cathryn Avallone scored twice, and Magnuson and freshman attacker Tess McEvoy added one goal each. Daniggelis had four assists in that span, and Avallone and Doherty had one each.
Doherty's day wound up including three goals and one assist along with four ground balls, three caused turnovers and three ground balls.
"She did it all for us today," said Phillips. "She played really well, and is such a catalyst for our transition game. What a breakout game for her."
All told, seven different players had at least one point for Yale.
"A lot of things are starting to click," said Phillips. "We knew that this was the time of the season where things have to come together. Jen DeVito had a nice day and has been doing a really good job as the quarterback of our offense. We got good goalie play from Erin McMullan (eight saves) and great defense. We finally put the pieces together."
Senior defender Adrienne Tarver led Yale with five caused turnovers and five ground balls. This marked the eighth time in 10 games this season that the Bulldogs have held their opponent to eight or fewer goals. Cal managed only 19 shots, making this the fifth time Yale has held its opponent to less than 20 shots.
One of the reasons the Golden Bears had so few offensive opportunities was because Yale's ride forced Cal into seven failed clears -- the sixth time this season the Bulldogs have forced at least five failed clears.
"That has been the greatest improvement in our team game this year," said Phillips. "The ride has been consistently good. They have been tough, and they have gotten us second-chance opportunities. We're more athletic and can do a ride that makes it very difficult for our opponents."
The Bulldogs host Lehigh on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.

Turnovers costly in Sound Tigers' latest loss
HARTFORD -- Turnovers tend to be costly. Turnovers in your own zone tend to be deadly.
Turnovers in your own zone in the third period on a winless streak tend to prolong those streaks, like they did Wednesday in the Bridgeport Sound Tigers' 4-2 loss to the Connecticut Whale.
J.T. Miller scored two goals early in the third period off Sound Tigers turnovers at the XL Center. They broke a tie that Bridgeport had forged off a strong final five minutes of the second.
"We've got to do a better job," Bridgeport's Colin McDonald said. "We're making mistakes at times, they're capitalizing and we're not finding a way to regroup from that."
Bridgeport is winless in seven, falling from 10-4 to 10-10-0-1.
John Persson's goal off a Whale defensive-zone turnover tied the game with 1:43 left in the second. The Whale turned the puck over several times in the last five minutes of the period, forced or unforced, in an excellent stretch for Bridgeport.
"I thought we sustained a lot of offensive-zone pressure at the tail end of the second period," Sound Tigers coach Scott Pellerin said.
"We made some critical errors in our zone (in the third)."
They came on back-to-back shifts for Miller, the New York Rangers' first-round pick last year.
On the first, Miller picked off Jordan Hill's backhand pass to goalie Anders Nilsson's right and fired a one-timer inside the near post. Hill was under pressure behind the net from Christian Thomas.
On the second, McDonald's pass went off a Whale player's skate to Miller, who had space to deke his way through the regrouping defense and backhand a shot past Nilsson at 4:39.
Bridgeport got only four third-period shots through to Cam Talbot.
An errant pass helped lead to the first Whale goal, Kelsey Tessier's, 3:46 into the game. Bridgeport answered on its fourth power play of the first period, when McDonald set up Jon Landry for his fifth goal.
The Whale regained the lead 21 seconds later on Brandon Segal's goal after Marek Hrivik dug the puck out of a scrum along the boards.
"We talked about the importance of the next shift, of starting games, starting periods," Pellerin said.
Brandon DeFazio was ejected early in the second period for leaving the bench to begin an altercation. He fought Segal, who'd laid out Bridgeport defenseman Matt Donovan with a hit into the boards behind Nilsson.
"The most important thing right now to me," Pellerin said, "is they're sticking together as a team."

LAYTON — After nearly a half-decade of effort, Layton's Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall will be dedicated in a little more than a month.
Approximately 80 percent the size of the original national Vietnam memorial in Washington, D.C., the replica wall is being built on the northeast corner of Layton Commons Park, 437 N. Wasatch Drive.
Construction on the monument is scheduled to be finished in the next few weeks, with a dedication ceremony set for 6 p.m. July 14.
The project has been driven by Ogden resident and Vietnam combat veteran Dennis Howland. The president of the Northern Utah chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America, Howland began working on the project in earnest in 2014.
Howland said he scoured every possible funding source he could think of for about five years to secure the $500,000 needed to pay for the wall.
He approached the Utah Legislature several times before finally getting the body to approve a one-time appropriation of $100,000 in 2017. Howland recruited Layton City, which donated land and infrastructure and has helped with construction.

Layton Mayor Bob Stevenson has said he hopes the wall will serve as a landmark and a tourist draw.
Regular fundraisers were held during the past few years with money being collected in a piecemeal fashion. Personalized bricks that will be placed around the monument were also sold to help fund the project.
Construction finally broke ground just after the new year.
"It's been kind of a long haul I guess you could say," Howland said. "But it's something I've always wanted to see and I feel like I owe it to all my brothers and sisters who fought (in Vietnam)."
The wall is being built by a Texas-based company called American Veterans Traveling Tribute. The company has constructed similar walls elsewhere around the country, though most have been smaller than the Layton version.

The names of all 58,000-plus Americans who died fighting in Vietnam will be etched into the 360-foot long wall. The stone engravings were done in Texas, then shipped in pieces to Utah.
Just before the July 14 dedication, a "Walk to the Wall" will begin at 5 p.m. at Hawthorne Street and Wasatch Drive. The walk will be lead by local Honor Guard and bagpipe organizations and by members of the Northern Utah Vietnam Veterans of America. The dedication will include speakers, music and a flag raising.
Following the dedication, a USO tribute show featuring Bob Hope impressionist Bill Johnson will be held at 8 p.m. at the Ed Kenley Centennial Amphitheater, 403 N. Wasatch Drive, Layton. All portions of the dedication are free and open to the public.
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, more than 28,000 Utahns served in Vietnam and more than 50,000 Vietnam veterans live in Utah today.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- U.S. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney's wedding in Cold Spring in June reportedly made use of a small drone aircraft to take video footage of the event, which would violate regulations set forth by the Federal Aviation Administration, according to the New York Daily News.
Though the FAA has regulations against the commercial use of small drones, there is no federal law prohibiting the practice, the Daily News said.
Maloney currently sits on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Aviation Subcommittee, which oversees the FAA, the Daily News reported.
Maloney became just the second sitting member of Congress to enter into a same-sex marriage when he married his partner of 21 years, Randy Florke, who proposed to Maloney on Christmas, according to politico.com.

One Last Grammys Photo: Adele Yells at Chris Brown [Updated]
Go Adele.
And here is one last frozen shot from the 2013 Grammys: it's of the moment that Adele yelled at Chris Brown, presumably for his decision not to stand when Frank Ocean won Best Urban Contemporary Album. Or for his decision to fight Frank Ocean over a parking spot. Or for his decision to beat up his girlfriend and show no public remorse about it, even years after the fact. It could be any of those things. Anyway, respect to Adele for doing what the Grammy producers refused to (by nominating Brown and putting him in that front-row seat). Adele for Recording Academy President! Or Grammys hall monitor, at least.
Unfortunate update:
Chris Brown and I were complimenting each other in that photo actually!— Adele (@OfficialAdele) February 13, 2013

Triad clinic reports 300 percent increase in flu patients
Triad clinic reports 300 percent increase in flu patients
An outpatient clinic with facilities across the Triad reports it has seen at least 3 times as many flu patients this year compared to recent years.
Cornerstone Health Care officials said a "significant number" of patients are experiencing flu cases so severe that they have to be put in a hospital.
Clinic officials compared the outbreak to 2003 but clarified there is more vaccine this year to match the flu strains. Getting a flu shot is the best precaution to prevent the flu, officials said.
Two people in Forsyth County already have died of the flu this season, and neither had a flu shot. One was elderly and more likely to have flu complications, but the other patient had no risk factors, state health officials said.

"Impiety, n. Your irreverence toward my deity."
Ambrose Bierce
"Irreverence is the champion of liberty and its only sure defense."
Mark Twain
Fuck Yahweh.
Fuck Shiva.
Fuck Mohammed.
Fuck Jesus
Fuck Zeus.
Fuck Allah.
Fuck Thor.
Fuck _____ (fill in the name of any deity, past or present).
There, that ought to do it. I'm an equal opportunity blasphemer, and the more I blaspheme, the better I feel.
The above expostulations are but one example of an open-ended and purposely indefinable class of speech acts. It's in the interests of religious believers to keep the category as wide-open as possible, because that gives them the widest possible latitude to rouse their flock and attack blasphemers.
Thus blasphemy can be the property of an entire book (e.g., The Satanic Verses), which nobody needs to read before condemning its author to death. It can consist of a cartoon or movie that merely portrays a religious figure…and it's even worse (to the believers) if the religious figure is ridiculed or otherwise portrayed unflatteringly.
Trying to define it
Definitions of blasphemy do not really help us to understand what it is. Start with the Bible. The biblical definition is based on the third commandment, in Exodus 20:7 – "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain."
I have never understood that phrase; like the Second Amendment, it admits of a variety of interpretations. The recent, authoritative Jewish Publication Society translation uses "swear falsely by the name of the Lord" but mentions the other version in a footnote.
I still don't see what behavior is prohibited, at least by a narrow interpretation of the passage (as opposed to extending it to ridicule, cursing, or irreverence; see below). My best guess is that if you swear to something false and say something like "I swear before God" or "as God is my witness," God will know if you're lying ( = taking his name in vain) and punish you accordingly.
Dictionary definitions
Let's see what the secular scholars have to say.
A direct Google search produced, at the top of the list, "The act or offense of speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things; profane talk" -- but I'm not sure what the source is; perhaps it's Google's own dictionary.
The Free Online Dictionary yielded
"A contemptuous or profane act, utterance, or writing concerning God or a sacred entity…The act of claiming for oneself the attributes and rights of God…An irreverent or impious act, attitude, or utterance in regard to something considered inviolable or sacrosanct."
The Harper-Collins English Dictionary identifies something called "blasphemous libel": "Law: the crime committed if a person insults, offends, or vilifies the deity, Christ, or the Christian religion."
Wordnet 3.0 says that "blasphemous behavior" is "the act of depriving something of its sacred character; 'desecration of the Holy Sabbath.'"
For Wikipedia, blasphemy is "irreverence toward holy personages, religious artifacts, customs, and beliefs."
Dictionary.com provides a four-part definition:
"1. impious utterance or action concerning God or sacred things.
2. Judaism. a. an act of cursing or reviling God.
b. pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton (YHVH) in the original, now forbidden manner instead of using a substitute pronunciation such as Adonai.
3. Theology. the crime of assuming to oneself the rights or qualities of God.
4. irreverent behavior toward anything held sacred, priceless, etc.: He uttered blasphemies against life itself."
This is from Reference.com: "Blasphemy means a contemptuous or profane act, utterance, or writing concerning God or a sacred entity. Blasphemy can also be an irreverent or impious act, attitude, or utterance in regard to something considered inviolable or sacrosanct. To blaspheme is thought by some to bring down bad luck upon oneself, especially if you are giving yourself attributes attributed to a higher power or deity."
Elsewhere on the site, we find this elaboration, which, interestingly, links blasphemy with irreverence toward secular authority:
"…in religion, words or actions that display irreverence toward or contempt for God or that which is held sacred. Blasphemy is regarded as an offense against the community to varying degrees, depending on the extent of the identification of a religion with the society at large or the government. Sedition, an attack on the sovereign, is thus analogous; both it and blasphemy can be seen as subversive of order and authority."
Those last four words are very telling and help explain the core of blasphemy's offensiveness: subversion of order or authority.
At Merriam-webster.com, we find blasphemy defined as
"the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God…the act of claiming the attributes of deity…irreverence toward something considered sacred or inviolable."
Going in circles
I could go on for hours, but we seem to be going in circles. Irreverence may be intentional or unintentional (its "illocutionary force"), but its perlocutionary force ("what I think you said") is always intentional. Again, that leaves the definition wide open: anything that anybody takes offense at?
True, the various definitions are enlightening insofar as they provide some of the additional dimensions of blasphemy:
Some of the definitions refer to the Judaeo-Christian god, but that just muddies the waters. Can a Jew say "fuck Shiva" and not be blasphemous? How about "fuck Zeus"? He was a mighty fellow in his time, but there's nobody around to defend him today.
Blasphemy can even include identifying oneself as an atheist, as I found out in a piece in the Ideas section of the Sept. 30 Boston Globe, as well as first-hand from a chat with a fellow Atheist Nexus member in Eritrea.
His name is Ocean Emanuel, and he has been ostracized for being an atheist. He writes that "Africa is so crazy with religion." He has lost his family, has no job, friends, or school and has had to flee to Sudan. Please take a moment to feel gratitude that you live in America. After reading his story, I did.
Examples, please!
The reason why the definition is so elusive is that no definer will provide examples – perhaps for fear of offending religious readers. Or maybe it's like the slippery concepts of "obscenity" or "time": you intuitively know what they are – unless you actually have to define them.
But I'm a linguist, and I need to get down to the level of actual examples to understand what something means.
I can say "Jesus went to the supermarket for me" (nonsensical but not blasphemous); or "Jesus helped me make that field goal" (not blasphemous and not even nonsensical for some people). You can buy porcelain statues of Jesus helping someone with his golf swing, but that's not blasphemous, nor is the wholly irreverent cornucopia of Christian-branded merchandise that blends faith and commerce in a uniquely American way.
But suppose I say "Jesus wipes my ass every time I go to the bathroom." Blasphemous? Why shouldn't I rely on my Savior to help me with this most basic of tasks?
Infinite number of possibilities
So there's a potentially infinite number of utterances that constitute blasphemy. For some people, it even includes non-religious utterances involving fuck, shit, cunt, and other words you can't utter in certain contexts, and certainly not on TV, although technically these constitute a different kind of verbal taboo.
All of this gives maximum leeway for believers to be offended.
Fighting words and unspoken codes
Which brings us to another key point about blasphemy: according to an unspecified set of speech-act conventions, the utterance of anything deemed blasphemous by the audience allows, even compels the listener to react adversely. Thus, blasphemy is part of a larger class of language taboos that include so-called "fighting words" (that's the actual phrase that occurs in laws against disturbing the peace, though one can search in vain for a list of these words).
According to this unspoken code, when a fighting word is uttered, the hearer MUST react violently or call upon the civil authorities to punish the violator. For example, when large numbers of young people recently began congregating in downtown Keene NH (see http://www.sentinelsource.com/news/local/a-growing-din/article_fe19... ), the headline referred to "concerns about language," which I take to mean that the good townspeople of Keene heard too many "fuck"'s from the young folks, who use it as expletive or intensifying modifier ("really fucking hard"). The Keene police, ever stalwart guardians of the public morality, were notified.
Calling an answering machine a cunt
Another bizarre tale: an angry patient, frustrated by a doctor's receptionist cancelling an appointment because she was ten minutes late, phoned the doctor's office and called the receptionist a cunt – on an answering machine. The police were called, and the woman, facing a misdemeanor charge, pled down to a "violation." But a violation of what? Was the answering machine offended?
Believers can make up whatever language taboos they want and obey them in private. But their insistence that everyone else respect their rules is problematic. Why should I revere fake gods and prophets in whom I do not believe? If I'm not a Muslim or a Hindu, what right do Muslims and Hindus have to control my behavior?
Individuals may have their personal taboo boundary lines. One of my wife's friends says "fuck" about as often as she says "the," but relentlessly chides my wife for saying "Oh my God."
Just words
As Lenny Bruce, his disciple George Carlin, and countless others have noted, THEY'RE ONLY WORDS. Vocal organs move, sounds are generated. That's all. One must choose to be offended, just as with ethnic slurs, fighting words and profanity.
The utterance of anything perceived to be blasphemous triggers an apparently uncontrollable desire for retribution in the listener(s). Someone utters a fighting word, and you have to fight. Back in the day, saying the wrong thing could cost you your life in a duel.
For Muslims, the taboo is rigid and all-encompassing. The slightest slight must be punished harshly. As others have pointed out, the Pope is vilified and ridiculed every day, somewhere in the world, but you don't see Christians burning foreign embassies. However, they have been known to react violently to works of art they find offensive; recall the controversy over "Piss Christ," a crucifix in a jar of urine.
Religious believers cannot and must not hold the entire world to their standards.
American politicians can make all sorts of mealy-mouthed statements about respecting other people's religion, but the fact is that – as long as there is no crime against person or property -- NOBODY has to respect anybody else's religion.
Keep it to yourself.
To believers I say, again: keep your taboos to yourself. If your religion is strong, it can withstand verbal attacks. Violent reprisals are the sign of a weak faith whose believers cannot endure any breach whatsoever, be it a book that no one has read, a cartoon, or the mere profession of atheism, as with my unfortunate friend from Africa.
And if your god is real and all this really matters to him, let him deal with the unbelievers. The fact that he doesn't should prove that he has no problem with us…right? How convenient that holy books assign so much of the killing to humans. Gods ought to get off their lazy asses and do some of the retribution themselves.
A two-way street
Finally, I would note that verbal offense goes two ways. Atheists are blasphemed as a matter of course. I'm sick of our principled godlessness being denigrated by religious windbags. I'm tired of hearing that atheists have no morals, tired of being compared to Hitler and Stalin, tired of hearing that we're evil and going to hell. I'm fucking sick of being the target of religious hatred and discrimination (polls show an atheist least likely to be elected president, less likely than a person from any religion, and that atheists are the people that poll responders least wanted to marry their children; what are we, untouchables?).
So I'll make a deal with religious believers: you stop vilifying me, and I'll stop saying things that result in you causing YOURSELF to be offended (but we can still ridicule each other). They're just words.
So fuck Jehovah. Piss on Christ. Happy Blasphemy Day.

Profanity is not required for blasphemy, but it definitely helps seal the deal.
Blasphemy is a complex interplay of (speaker's) intent and (audience's) interpretation, but the latter is what creates the offense, for exactly the reasons that Ingersoll says.
He was a giant. Long before YouTube, he reached huge numbers of people. Today he would be on TV -- everywhere from CNN to The Daily Show -- proclaiming what the politicians are too chickenshit to say: the root of the current rioting isn't "a video" - it is religion itself.
Premium stuff, SB!!! The more I read from Ingersoll, the more I LIKE HIM!
And while I'm not a great one for profanity as regards blasphemy, if Allah doesn't like my atheism, He Can KISS MY ASS!
That work for ya?
And I repeat: if Allah is offended, let him do the smiting.
Yes, I did note that extreme touchiness is a sign of weakness, not strength. Muslims may not be the worst at this (hard to imagine worse), but there are a billion of them.
I don't forget for a second that much of this religious indignation is cynically manufactured and manipulated by religious fanatics.
I don't mind profanity, Alan. I just don't think that blasphemy needs to add profanity to achieve its purpose. Hell, if the islamists got all bent out of shape about a Tweet which proposed shaking hands with their prophet (and they did!), that's about as crazy a reaction to as mild a statement as I can think of.
The problem with those who would make blasphemy a crime is their insistence on a thin skin and that their god/prophet/savior/whatever MUST be off-limits from any form of scrutiny, never mind ridicule or mockery. To me, this reflects insecurity at the least; at worst, I don't want to guess. For myself, I have no intention of indulging their over-sensitivity, and in my current location, I don't have to ... and I won't.
Loren...I tried to separate profanity from blasphemy, although the two do occur together.
The entries are clever as hell, but mainly to freethinkers.
Religious believers live in a different cognitive world (and Reform Jews in two of them). They would not even get most of the slogans, so if the intent is to piss people off, I don't think it's accomplished.
Blasphemy requires action on the part of the hearer, which in turn assumes that the level of offense must be high and its nature unsubtle in order to trigger a reaction, e.g., pic of Jesus having sex with an animal.
While we're at it, let's not forget the Center For Inquiry's Blasphemy Contest of a few years ago and the notable entries which gained top honors:
And most of all, the winner:
Faith Is No Reason - submitted by Ken Peters of California
And while we're at it, let's note something in all of these entries: there's no vulgar language, no invective. If someone wants to object to any of the above as being offensive, I would expect that such a person's skin was thin to the point of absurdity.
If we as atheists can tolerate Psalm 14 and the rest of the crap which is aimed at us, the believers can learn to deal with the above and other words like them. Always remember:
NO ONE Has The Right Not To Be Offended.
Not worried. My town is so small and remote even a god couldn't find it.
VikingDon...The warriors are scary, but Thor isn't going to do jack shit.
