Believe it or not, Greenpeace celebrates its 40 birthday today! To mark the occasion, Kumi Naidoo, our International Executive Director, calls on us all to take inspiration from that first Greenpeace voyage, and to demand a better future for our planet:
The seeds of Greenpeace were sown 40 years ago today, when a small band of dedicated people set out to change the world, sailing from Vancouver to end US nuclear testing in the Aleutian Islands. While the first voyage failed to reach its destination, and the test went ahead, their non-violent direct action captured the public imagination, caused the cancellation of future tests and sparked a movement that grew into the world's largest independent environmental organisation.
After four decades of putting environmental issues centre stage and achieving significant victories in defence of the planet, today we face a perfect storm of crises; economic, ecological and democratic. And none more challenging than climate change.
No more can we put up with politicians squabbling over and squandering opportunities to agree on how to avert the worst ravages of climate change. We need leaders with vision, who will take bold action to curb climate change and protect those most at risk from its effects. We need active citizens who will hold their political and corporate leaders to account.
Greenpeace now has offices in more than 40 countries and on all continents, populated by activists world-wide from all cultures joining together in common cause – true warriors of the rainbow. We count 11.6 million people amongst our subscribers, we have 2.8 million donors and operate a fleet of ships allowing us to work to protect some of the world's most vulnerable regions, such as the high seas, the Amazon rainforest and the Arctic.
In addition to a global presence, during those 40 years we have become an organisation made up from all sectors of society and a myriad of cultures. We have scientists, lawyers, doctors, journalists, students, engineers, parents and grandparents, a myriad of disciplines necessary for founding our campaigns in science, our communications in simple language, to keep our action daring and safe and our ships at sea.
Greenpeace people understand that multinational corporations and international bodies will only respond to international pressure, applied at every level. People who understand that the pressures on our environment are transnational and the solutions are global.
The Greenpeace founders proved how a small group of committed people can change the world, through peaceful protest and by bearing witness. By joining the words 'green' and 'peace', our founders realised all too well that to tackle one issue we have to tackle them all. This should be an inspiration for what we can all achieve if all of civil society works together through coalitions and alliances to demand a better future for our children, and for our planet.
Greenpeace's ultimate success will be measured when we are no longer necessary. Hopefully, in forty more years we will have averted climate chaos, ecology and economy will be balanced with considerations of equity and our job will have been done.
But, for now and today, countless communities and activists around the world pay tribute to and derive inspiration from the vision of the founding 'greenpeacers' who set sail for Amchitka on the 15th of September 1971, to take on a super power, halt nuclear testing, and won.
In the meantime, Peace, and thank you to all our supporters and activists, who make Greenpeace what it is today.

While I'm sure this will be "flagged as abuse", I just want to point draw attention to the fact that many things greenpeace do are not, in fact, beneficial. I'm all for protecting the environment, but endangering yourselves to "raise awareness" isn't brave - it's irresponsible. Climbing tall buildings to wave flags about it not only a nuisance to average people who are trying to work there, but it further ties up emergency services such as ambulances and fire trucks which needless to say have better things to do than to stand by while the police try for hours to drag your "heroes" back down to ground level. Environmentalism? Yes. Greenpeace? No.

Tel Aviv Targeted: Rockets Blown Up Over Tel Aviv by Israel's 'Iron Dome' Defenses
Hat tip: The Jerusalem Post The Iron Dome intercepted two Iranian-made Fajr-5 missiles aimed at Tel Aviv on Saturday. The missiles marked the third attack on the heavily populated central city in as many days, after Palestinian terrorists from Gaza fired four missiles toward the financial capital on Thursday and Friday, prompting red alert air raid sirens to sound in the city. According to Israel Radio, over 60 rockets have fallen on the South on the fourth day of Operation Pillar of Defense. The Iron Dome rocket defense system intercepted 15 of the rockets. In total, Palestinians fired 740 rockets toward the Jewish state since the beginning of Operation Pillar of Defense on Wednesday, but only around 30 landed in built-up areas. Iron Dome intercepted 230 projectiles in total, maintaining a 90% intercept rate. Only 27 of the rockets, about 4 percent, ultimately landed in urban areas. (Back to Video)

Dale Earnhardt Jr. reaches NASCAR crossroads
NASCAR's most popular driver trudged out of the Dover International Speedway garage area, up a set of wooden stairs and across the gravel toward a waiting golf cart.
It was May 2010, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. had just experienced one of the lowest moments of his career. On the one-year anniversary of his union with crew chief Lance McGrew, Earnhardt qualified 27th and finished 30th. He was a non-factor that day and many other days that season, when he finished outside the top 20 in points for the second consecutive year.
His confidence was never shakier. There was no light at the end of the tunnel, and Earnhardt paused for a painfully long time when a reporter asked what he thought would turn his performance around.
"I don't know," he finally said. "What do you think? I'm lost."
Earnhardt's career seemed to be going nowhere fast.
Then along came Steve Letarte, an energetic crew chief who came on board after that discouraging season and helped Earnhardt completely change his approach, attitude and results on the racetrack.
2014 MEDIA WEEK:Hendrick Motorsports sticks with status quo
With Letarte, Earnhardt has made the Chase for the Sprint Cup for three years in a row. He has never been more consistent — he had a career-high 22 top-10 finishes last year and had more top-fives in 2013 (10) than from 2009 to '11 combined.
"Steve is a great cheerleader and definitely built up my confidence and changed me as a race car driver and as a person," Earnhardt said. "Working with him has really helped me grow. I think you guys have all seen that over the last several years."
There's just one problem: The man who helped give Junior Nation something to cheer about again is on his way out the door.
Despite the No. 88 team performing better than ever, Letarte announced in early January that 2014 would be his last season as a crew chief. This time next year, Letarte will be preparing for his new role as a television analyst for NBC Sports, which will share broadcasting rights with Fox.
EARNHARDT:Initially 'shocked' by Letarte's departure
For Earnhardt, this season's underlying theme will be the great unknown — who will replace Letarte — and fear over the change.
Will the new crew chief be able to connect with Earnhardt like Letarte did? Will the driver's performance and confidence slip without Letarte around? And does that make 2014 the last, best chance for Earnhardt — NASCAR's most popular driver for 11 years running — to win a championship?
BOSS WILL DECIDE:Junior staying out of crew chief hunt
Earnhardt acknowledged he was concerned about what would come next.
"I think that my fear is just: 'Can we replace Steve?' " Earnhardt said. "It's a guy that's going to be hard to replace. I'm not worried about the specific qualities that Steve has, but just will we be able to get a guy in there of equal talent, and how well will we be able to make that transition? It's going to be a real challenge to do that, and I guess that's my only concern."
Hendrick Motorsports has said it does not plan to announce a replacement for Letarte until after the season. The 34-year-old father of two said a major part of his decision to leave had to do with spending more time with his family.
Letarte said he was leaving behind the best job in the garage. But there's no doubt that job is also the most scrutinized. Earnhardt's rabid fans are eager to let their voices be heard when he doesn't run well or the team makes a mistake.
A popular podcast on the driver's personal website features a "Reaction Theatre" where fans can call in and vent.
Letarte has done well handling the pressure of his high-profile position, but the attention will grow if the team gets off to a bad start this year. Fans will say the crew chief's impending departure is a distraction — and they might not have much patience for poor results.
But Fox Sports analyst Darrell Waltrip says the driver and crew chief could be motivated by knowing they have an expiration date on their working relationship.
"I think Letarte will be fine; I'm not sure about Junior," Waltrip said. "I'm not sure how he's going to handle all this.
"I think Sunday comes, you just do your job. What better way to go out than to go out on top? You know you've got a year. There's things you haven't done. So you're really going to try hard, focus hard."
REGRETS:Junior wishes he had raised 'more hell'
If Earnhardt and Letarte are going to go out on a positive note this season, they'll have to do something they've only done once in their three years together: win.
Close calls
A victory at Michigan International Speedway in June 2012 stands as Earnhardt's lone win in the past five years. Though he certainly has been close on other occasions with Letarte, they haven't been able to close the deal.
Whether it was running out of gas in the last turn of the Coca-Cola600 in 2011 or not being able to catch teammate Jimmie Johnson last September when he had two fresher tires at Dover, Earnhardt has come tantalizingly close to going to victory lane several times.
Last year, Earnhardt finished second five times — thrice to Johnson.
Earnhardt, who will turn 40 in October, knows time isn't on his side and will be as motivated as ever to win. And it would benefit Letarte to be able to walk into NBC's TV booth next year and say, "I know what it takes to win at this track."
But Waltrip says winning has to become a habit, which it is not for the No. 88.
"It's great to be consistent, but you've got to win," he said. "You've got to figure out how to win. You can get in the habit of where you just don't know how to win."
Letarte said as much in August during an interview with USA TODAY Sports. It was great to keep making the Chase for the Sprint Cup, he said then, but at some point the team needed to take chances in order to reach the next level.
As it turned out, Letarte had begun pondering his move to NBC Sports during that time. Earnhardt didn't find out until the Charlotte race weekend in October, when, he said, a rumor floored him.
He called Letarte to the driver's motor home and asked if what he heard was true.
Earnhardt said the news was a huge shock at first, but he realized it was a good move for the crew chief once he thought about it more.
First, he was grateful Letarte didn't leave this year. There was a time when it looked like NBC might start its coverage a year early, but NASCAR and ESPN couldn't come to an agreement for a premature exit.
"Fortunately, we get to work together one more year," Earnhardt said. "I feel almost lucky in that regard, that I get the opportunity to work with him for one more season."
Second, Earnhardt said the confidence Letarte instilled in him would remain long after the crew chief left. He's a different person than he was during those low points four years ago, when it seemed like things would never get better.
"I think I can carry that with me, what I've learned about myself and what I've learned about the job and what my job is and what my responsibility is to Steve and the crew chief," he said. "Hopefully I've learned something and learned enough to do a better job for the next guy."
Former crew chief Larry McReynolds, a TV analyst for Fox Sports, isn't convinced.
"I'm a little nervous for Dale Earnhardt Jr.," McReynolds said. "Steve Letarte is his security blanket. That's going to go away. I saw the old Dale Earnhardt Jr. in that media center (talking about Letarte's departure during testing at Daytona International Speedway). Hat down, mumbling. Look at interviews from last year, the hat was up. He was energetic. Excited."
But McReynolds said Letarte would keep up his normal cheerleading and added the team likely would be OK if Earnhardt stayed focused on 2014.
Jeff Gordon, who had Letarte as his crew chief from late 2005 to '10, said he was good at compartmentalizing the commitment to his job and wouldn't let his decision affect the team negatively.
"I'm sure when the news first broke to Junior, it probably was a bit of an adjustment," Gordon said of his Hendrick teammate. "But I feel like they've worked through all the details on how to maintain that level of competition, the momentum that they had from last year, and keep that going through this year."
PHOTOS: Dale Earnhardt Jr's career
Past changes
Earnhardt has grown close to people in the sport before, only to have an amicable split for reasons not related to competition.
In 1995, Earnhardt was racing Late Models and working with Gary Hargett, whom he described as like a grandfather to him. "A really, really close relationship," he said.
The two spent time together during the week and raced together on the weekends. But Hargett's shop was far away in Union County, N.C.
At the time, Earnhardt was working at his dad's car dealership in Newton — roughly one hour's drive each way.
Eventually, Dale Earnhardt Sr. told his son it was time to move the cars up to Mooresville so the younger Earnhardt could learn more about how to work on them.
But Hargett didn't want to make the long commute, so the two had to split up.
"That was what was good for me and my career, but I was going to have to do it without Gary," Earnhardt said. "That was a real, real difficult choice to make. But that was a lesson I learned early: That things in the sport, no matter how great they are and how much you enjoy them, they aren't always going to stay the same.
"This is just another situation where that's come true."
For his part, Letarte said he thought having a set departure date might allow the team to cherish those last races more.
The inevitable frustrations that set in during a season might be pushed to the side knowing it's the last chance for a win.
"So do you really want to throw away your last trip to Sonoma together?" Letarte said of possible frustration. "Do you want to put personal feelings in the way of trying to win the Brickyard?"
Next step
Though the timing might have been a surprise, it had long been clear Letarte was preparing for an eventual career as an analyst of some kind.
Though Earnhardt fans might be disappointed in Letarte's decision, no one doubts how good he'll be on TV. Part of his ability to keep Earnhardt positive has been Letarte's gift of gab, a talent he has turned into motivational speaking engagements and frequent media appearances.
"The way these races are broadcast and how they're presented to the fans is a big part of how the sport remains healthy, and I think that he's going to be incredible in that role," Earnhardt said.
Few crew chiefs have decided to walk away on their own, though McReynolds is one of them. He left Richard Childress Racing to take a job for Fox Sports when that network became a NASCAR broadcast partner in 2001.
And McReynolds' evaluation of Earnhardt and his crew?
"He still has got to win some races," he said. "Nobody knows that more than they do. You can't be a championship contender until you start winning races."
There are 36 more points races for Earnhardt and Letarte together to do just that. Could the driver win multiple races for the first time since 2004? Could he better last year's fifth-place finish in the standings and make a real run at his first Cup title?
Either one of those scenarios would be a happy ending for the No. 88 in its current form — and might soften the blow for what lies ahead.
But no matter who team owner Rick Hendrick chooses to replace Letarte, Earnhardt said he was confident the team would be fine.
"There's a culture in that shop, and it's a culture of success and winning, and anything else is not acceptable," he said. "I feel like that will continue after Steve is gone."

The first two 5 Things We Can Learn From… posts featuring Threadless and Johnny Cupcakes proved to be quite popular. This time around I dissect Seibei. Seibei is a one-man brand that was conceptualized and developed by David Murray. Murray is a 26 year old college graduate who majored in Japanese Literature. Lucky for us, he decided to focus on making cool art instead.Â
With such popularity and a cult following, Seibei must have done something right. Here I look at 5 things that we can learn from the Seibei story.
1. Your Website Should Be An Extension of Your Products. You don't even need to click on the store, or see any of David tees or other products, and you already know what his style and what his goods will look like. His website is an extension of his products. He showcases many of the monsters that he prints on his tees throughout his site. And why not? The colors that he uses on his site reflects the colors often seen on his tees. Why would you have a sophisticated, modern and simplistic site design when your products are all about fun, humor, vibrant colors and monsters! Extend your products through your website design.Â
2. Take "Advantage" of Your Fanbase. In a good way, of course! David takes "advantage" of his fanbase through his Seibei Nation promotion. The Seibei Nation is his version of a street team. A lot of people consider word of mouth the purest form of marketing. Word of mouth is what a street team and esssentially the Seibei Nation is all about. And of course, remember that if they rub your back be sure to return the favor. Every time a Seibei Nation member brings in ten $10 or more sales they get a free Seibei T-Shirt. People LOVE free things so why not take advantage of that. BTW, use coupon code COTY for 10% off your next Seibei order!
3. Be As Transparent As Possible. If your company is a one-man show, and even if it's not, it may pay off to be as transparent to your audience or customers as possible. David is as transparent as can be on his blog, often posting about things not related to tees but that show off the fun side of his life. David loves to make posts about food, by doing this, maybe he'll appeal to other food lovers who will then be interested in his tacos and sandwich tees. By being transparent, you make yourself the face of your company. You are living proof that your company exists because of you and your hard work. People are able to relate with you much more when they see a face. When people can relate, they often are more prone to opening their wallets and spending their hard earned cash.Â
4. Make Art and Craft Shows Your Friend. David hits craft and art shows pretty hard. A quick glance at his blog shows that he's attended a ton of these, including: Craftacular, Boston Bazaar, Renegade, and Stitch Austin. What's so important about attending craft and art shows? Well, it helps to give you brand exposure in the offline world. Sure you have an online store, but when you attend a craft show, people can actually see your goods, they can touch it and purchase it right then and there. Secondly, attending a craft show will help you to actually see what demographics are interested in and are purchasing your products. This should give you an idea of what you should maybe do for future product releases – build on popular products, build on what your target demographic is interested in.Â
5. Trust Your Gut. When David submitted his Give Us A Kiss design to the Cornelius Hearts Threadless contest, he had high hopes and was quite excited about it. Things didn't turn out so well for the design. Voters were quick to give it low scores and the submission was prematurely dumped from the voting process. Understandably, David was miffed about this – mainly because he was so enthusiastic about the design. He decided to go with his gut and have the design printed despite it not being seen favorably in the eyes of the tee loving community, Threadless. The shirt that Threadless once abandoned is now a staple of his online store and I don't doubt that it is one of his top sellers. The ultimate vindication came when Jake Nickell, one of the founders of Threadless, stopped by Seibei's booth at Renegade Chicago. Nickell loved Give Us A Kiss and even purchased one. Trust your gut. 95% of the time your gut is right, which is totally worth the 5% of the time it is not.Â
Wheww, those are my thought about Seibei – what are yours? Leave them in the comments section!

How to Use the Images Photo 3
Photo 3
This photo shows Midway before the Pearl Harbor attack. Eastern Island is in the foreground with the somewhat larger Sand Island in the background.
Questions for Photos 1 & 2
1. Locate the landing strips on Eastern Island. Why do you suppose the Japanese did not bomb this area?
2. Does Photo 1 or Map 2 give you a better sense of what Midway was like? Discuss.
3. Photo 2 shows damage caused by the Japanese air attack. Can you tell how serious this damage was? What effect do you think it might have had on the ability of the island to defend itself against the invasion planned for the next day?
4. Even though the invasion of Midway was one of the main objectives of the Japanese fleet, the bombing of the islands seems to have had virtually no effect on the outcome of the battle. Why do you think that might have been the case?
* The photos on this screen have a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a larger version of Photo 1 and Photo 2, but be aware that each file will take as much as 36 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Behind the Curtain: Lyricist Lynn Ahrens on the story of Little Dancer
Part fact, part fiction, and set in the harsh backstage world of the Paris Opera Ballet, this world premiere Kennedy Center musical is inspired by the story of Marie van Goethem, a young ballerina who posed for Edgar Degas and became, inadvertently, the most famous dancer in the world. Torn by her family's poverty, her debt to the artist, and the lure of wealthy men, she struggles to keep her place in the corps de ballet--a girl on the verge of womanhood, caught between the conflicting demands of life and art.

WASHINGTON – Some big changes are coming to Fairfax Connector bus service.
Testing on a new route using the 495 Express Lanes "went very well," Fairfax Connector's Christy Wegener says. The Burke VRE to Tysons line is on schedule to start running January 14, and the schedules are being finalized now.
Routes from Lorton and Saratoga are set to start in March, but the biggest changes coming to Fairfax Connector will come late next year, when the Silver Line gets up and running.
"It changes everything. All the service that's in the Dulles Corridor that currently terminates at West Falls Church will be realigned to serve the Reston East-Wiehle Station," Wegener says.
"We will be implementing a circulator system in Tysons Corner to support the Silver Line, and implementing new feeder routes in McLean," she adds.
Forty-three percent of Fairfax Connector routes are slated to change. There will be public hearings on the changes this winter and spring, with the final plans presented to the County Board in May.
The system carries more than 38,000 passenger trips a day right now, a number that could rise based on the new service around the Dulles Rail stations and plans to make Tysons a more urban environment.
Another change in the pipeline is the addition of a service like Metro's NextBus.
"The realtime passenger information, that's something we have been working on for years … that will help improve the information available to passengers and it will help more accurately plan a transit trip," Wegener says.
"That is some time away, but we do understand that knowing when your bus will be there — not when it's scheduled to be there, but when it will actually be there – – it's a huge bonus, a huge positive in whether a transit rider will take the bus," she adds.
The request for contractors proposals on the system is just going out now.

Armed Forces Voters Week Focuses on Electronic Options
By Sgt. Sara Wood, USA
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6, 2006 - The Defense Department is focusing efforts to ensure servicemembers stationed overseas and in the United States know their options for voting in the 2006 congressional and local elections.
Sept. 3-9 is Armed Forces Voters Week. Officials caution that this is the last safe week to submit a Federal Post Card Application, or request voter registration forms and absentee ballots that meet most state deadlines.
The Defense Department is responsible for ensuring the right to vote for military members and their families, and also for U.S. citizens living overseas. It accomplishes this through the Federal Voting Assistance Program, said Michael L. Dominguez, principal deputy undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness. Under the Federal Voting Assistance Program, the department uses three general programs: an outreach program to state and local election officials, an outreach to the voters, and a program to build capacity and improve mechanisms to get information to voters and enable them to vote, he said.
In the last several years, DoD has had a special challenge of reaching deployed servicemembers on the battlefield, whose particular circumstances make it hard for them to participate in the by-mail absentee voting process, Dominguez said. DoD officials have been working on this problem for several years, he said, noting that servicemembers and U.S. citizens living overseas now have an ever-expanding array of electronic voting options available.
DoD has launched a new Web site outlining electronic voting options for residents of each state. The Integrated Voting Alternative Site, which was launched Sept. 1, includes information from all 55 states and territories on the various electronic ballot requests and delivery alternatives available to U.S. citizens living overseas covered under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, said Scott Wiedmann, deputy director of the Federal Voting Assistance Program. The IVAS can be found on the Federal Voting Assistance Program Web site, and will be updated to reflect changes to state laws, he said.
"What we wanted to do was to use our Web site to communicate, as we had done for several years, out to the citizens covered by the act, all the electronic alternatives offered to them by their home state," Wiedmann said. "So they would be aware of all this, if they're on the move or in a remote location. We wanted to let them know that mail is not the only option from every state."
Most states allow at least part of the voting process by fax, and states are slowly embracing the use of e-mail for ballot requests and delivery, said Polli Brunelli, director of the Federal Voting Assistance Program. Currently, 50 voting jurisdictions allow the use of fax for the registration process; 34 states allow the faxing of blank ballots to the voter; and six to 10 states are interested in using web technologies for the voting process, she said.
DoD has developed two web-based tools that states can use in the voting process, Wiedmann said. Both involve an online, automated version of the Federal Post Card Application, which is the form used for voter registration and request of absentee ballots. Both are designed for individuals who are already registered to vote in their home states. The first tool would allow registered voters covered under the overseas act to log into a secure Web site, fill out automated Federal Post Card Applications, and e-mail them to their local election officials, Wiedmann said. The second tool would allow the registered voters to upload the completed applications to a secure server, where the local election officials can log on and download the forms and then possibly upload blank ballots to the same site for the voters to access, he said.
Both of these tools would only be open to military members and their families and DoD civilian employees and contractors stationed overseas, Wiedmann said. Security of this site would be ensured because individuals in these categories already have unique identifiers from DoD that could be used for verification, he said.
In addition to electronic voting options, DoD continues to work with the U.S. Postal Service and the military postal system to ensure ballots are delivered on time to military members and U.S. citizens living overseas, Brunelli said. Brunelli said she has been working with state and local election officials, encouraging them to send ballots out early, so overseas voters have plenty of time to complete and return them to be counted.

Tween music queen Miley Cyrus continues her campaign toward maturity, this time by doing a very un-Disney duet with Poison front man Bret Michaels.
Michaels, star of "Rock of Love," penned the song "Nothin' to Lose," which includes lyrics such as: "We both know better than this/Still we can't resist/Slowly get undressed."
The chorus isn't much less controversial, especially when you consider Cyrus is 17 and Michaels is 46: "Won't you fall down on me/So close I can feel you breathe?"
Michaels told Us Weekly that he has been made aware of the controversy but insists that there's nothing to be upset about.
"It has no reference to her and I. It's not even (meant to be) a duet," Michaels said. (Michaels originally recorded the song on his own.)
Michaels told Us he got "very positive comments" on the finished track, which will appear on his solo album "Custom Built," out in late May.
"As God is my witness, there is nothing I have to be defensive about," he says. "I'm a good dad. I just thought it was a beautiful song."
'Jersey' cast members survive ceiling crash
On Saturday night, Twitter followers of "Jersey Shore" star Snooki received a message: "OMG roof just collapsed at the purim event! We thought the dj was beatin the beat hardcore but nope, the roof couldn't handle snooki and vin."
Here's what happened: Snooki and fellow "Jersey Shore" star Vinny Guadagnino were among 300 guests at a Purim celebration at the Sony building in New York City. At about 11:10 p.m., snow that collected on the roof, which was partially windowed, caused the glass to collapse.
GossipCop.com reports that some party goers had no idea what had happened: "No one knew what it was," eyewitness Dorian Levy told the site. Levy said there were "no major shards," just little pieces that people initially "thought was candy."
Guadagnino also chimed in: "Roof just collapsed at Purim event…. I think me and @snooki felt the wrath for not being Jewish."
Chris Noth was another celebrity on hand. No one was seriously injured.
'Island' stays afloat
Has Bruce Willis' star finally fallen?
The first sign that Willis isn't the box office draw he once was came when his film "Surrogates" came out last September; the studio wasn't using his image on posters and billboards.
Now, his film "Cop Out" didn't manage to beat out the weekend holdover, "Shutter Island."
"Shutter Island" made another $22 million, while "Cop Out" came in No. 2 with a $18.5 million weekend.

Living in areas of high air pollution can lead to decreased cognitive function in older adults, according to new research presented in San Diego at The Gerontological Society of America's (GSA) 65th Annual Scientific Meeting.
This finding is based on data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Health and Retirement Study. The analysis was conducted by Jennifer Ailshire, PhD, a National Institute on Aging postdoctoral fellow in the Center for Biodemography and Population Health and the Andrus Gerontology Center at the University of Southern California.
"As a result of age-related declines in health and functioning, older adults are particularly vulnerable to the hazards of exposure to unhealthy air," Ailshire said. "Air pollution has been linked to increased cardiovascular and respiratory problems, and even premature death, in older populations, and there is emerging evidence that exposure to particulate air pollution may have adverse effects on brain health and functioning as well."
This is the first study to show how exposure to air pollution influences cognitive function in a national sample of older men and women. It suggests that fine air particulate matter - composed of particles that are 2.5 micrometers in diameter and smaller, thought to be sufficiently small that if inhaled they can deposit deep in the lung and possibly the brain - may be an important environmental risk factor for reduced cognitive function.
The study sample included 14,793 white, black, and Hispanic men and women aged 50 and older who participated in the 2004 Health and Retirement Study (a nationally representative survey of older adults). Individual data were linked with data on 2004 annual average levels of fine air particulate matter from the Environmental Protection Agency's Air Quality System monitors across the country. Cognitive function was measured on a scale of 1 to 35 and consisted of tests assessing word recall, knowledge, language, and orientation.
Ailshire discovered that those living in areas with high levels of fine air particulate matter scored poorer on the cognitive function tests. The association even remained after accounting for several factors, including age, race/ethnicity, education, smoking behavior, and respiratory and cardiovascular conditions.
Fine air particulate matter exposures ranged from 4.1 to 20.7 micrograms per cubic meter, and every ten point increase was associated with a 0.36 point drop in cognitive function score. In comparison, this effect was roughly equal to that of aging three years; among all study subjects, a one-year increase in age was associated with a drop 0.13 in cognitive function score.
Seniors' Cognitive Function Impaired By Air Pollution
Living in areas of high air pollution can lead to decreased cognitive function in older adults, according to new research presented in San Diego at The Gerontological Society of America's (GSA) 65th Annual Scientific Meeting.

Atheists are a diverse bunch of people. There's no single set of beliefs or ideas that unite all atheists under a single banner. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that they don't believe in any deities.
This can make understanding the atheist community rather difficult for an outsider. Doesn't it make more sense to unite with people based on shared beliefs or identifying by what you are rather than what you are not? After all, it makes sense to start a golfing club, but there's no point in starting a club for non-golfers. Why should non-believers be any different?
The atheist community is important because religion is not like golf. In a logical world, atheism would be the de facto status, a status quo requiring no labels, organizations or movements. Religion, like a hobby, would be an added identity for people who chose to affiliate with any given religion. But that's not how religion works.
What if Golf Was Like Religion?
Imagine that a golfer, Frank, is very passionate about his golfing. It's changed his life, giving him purpose and inner peace. Eager to share this wonderful message with the rest of the world, he decides that everyone on the planet should be a golfer. To complete this end, he starts sending out emails to all of his friends and colleagues, outlining a plan to make golfing the official international pastime.
Frank doesn't stop there, though. As his following starts to pick up members, they start drafting legislation that will protect golfers and give them certain benefits, including freedom from taxes. Golfers would also get special holidays celebrating the invention of the sport or the first ever golf T, and they would be exempt from working on these special days. Eventually, they manage to hold enough large fundraisers to build support among lobbyists for their plans.
At this point, golfers are still a very small minority in the world. Many other people prefer tennis or go swimming, and some people have no interest in sport activities at all. Nevertheless, through their political power and loud voices, the golfers have secured their sport as the de facto official sport.
The golfers insist that everyone begin to wear cleated shoes, plaid shirts and other golfing attire. They also want to make sure that children learn golfing skills at an early age, so they change the curriculum so that golf becomes the only sport they're taught. Golfers become disgusted with non-golfers and look down on them.
In this situation, it makes good sense for the non-golfers to unite against this kind of prejudice. The non-golfers may have different goals from each other. Some might be primarily interested in changing the golf-based curriculum in schools. Others will reach out to the non-golfers who are being oppressed in areas where the enforcement method of golfing is particularly cruel. A few might hold rallies, create art that shows the arbitrariness of golf obsession or simply announce publicly, "I am not a golfer." If there are enough of these non-golfers, they might even start up their own website and Facebook community to hold discussions about the problems of being a non-golfer in a world filled with loud, pushy golf enthusiasts.
The Power of Community
In an ideal world, people could always identify by what they are rather than what they are not. Until religion stops dominating the public sphere, however, atheists will have ample cause to unite for their rights. Religions put pressure on individuals, governments, the legal system and educational institutions; without the non-religious pushing for advocacy and support, the public sector can be easily steamrolled by a religious agenda.
Our lack of belief is more than disbelief; it's a way for us to find each other and rally around our shared values. Not every atheist cares about worldwide religious injustice and oppression, but many atheists do, and uniting under banners such as Atheist Nexus, American Atheists or Atheist Republic gives us the strength to combat these injustices head-on.
Views: 429
I've been thinking the same thing lately; it's why I finally have decided to call myself a Buddhist (though I don't believe in any of the extraneous supernatural stuff). It cuts through more confusion than atheist, because atheist says pretty much nothing about you. You could be an atheist that believes in UFO abductions and denies evolution... all the word really does is tell people that you don't believe in gods, which is nice but it's not all that.
Terry, I suspect there are far more non-believers than anyone realizes. For centuries, people have died for expressing resistance to religion. It is still not safe to express one's thinking; many of us have experienced toilet papered homes, spray painted cars, obscene phone calls, even a death threat, and the very familiar insults thrown at us by loved ones and strangers who do not like what we say.
Well, we won't be burned at the stake, have our tongues pulled out, or the other religious horrors visited upon dissenters. The punishment metered out in these modern times are more bark than bite, more inconvenience than life threatening, more annoying than death.
So, develop a thick skin, figure out what we think is true, based on valid, double blind, and replicable evidence, and stands up to the tests of time.
The amount of scholarly writing explodes as we discuss this topic and the ideas that emerge inspire and motivate me. One piece I watched this week and recommend:
Imagine No Religion 3: Sean Faircloth
Wow! Thank you all for your great comments and support. It's very encouraging to see that you have such an active community here. As an ex-Muslim atheist that used to live under an oppressive Islamic regime and experienced the isolation and sometimes dangers that come with it, I see so much value in communities such as this.
I also hope and fight for the day that atheist activism is a thing of the past. But witnessing the power of religion in countries such as mine, I know that we have a long fight ahead of us. What I try to remember is that for every right and freedom that we enjoy today, a certain group of people had to find the passion, the courage and the patience to sacrifice part of their lives towards making the world a better place for everyone. And that keeps me motivated.
I feel much encouraged reading this string. The reasons I am an atheist are because I experienced unmet needs and protections relying on religion, laws, law-enforcement and culture to protect me and my children from the influences of these institutions. We needed something else. Being able to recognize, name and challenge the status quo, I am better prepared to provide for my family. By extension, I assume I am no different than legions of others who live under the boot of ancient values as revealed by religions.
Women and children face one kind of domination, men another. I cannot speak for men; you have to identify the ways you have been dominated and exploited by religious dogma.
Observing Islam and its effects on women, children and men is a metaphor for the less obvious, but actual oppression of religions. Living under the influence of religion is much like a fish living in water. I assume fish do not recognize water, just as women, children and men do not recognize oppression and domination of religion; it is the 'normal', not healthy, mode of life. A better way exists, and it is up to those who can see the effects of the dilemma are the ones who need to speak out. Obviously, religious institutions and people who benefit by religious dogma will not give away privilege.
Freedom is not a gift given freely, it must be taken.
Yes Armin Atheism is actually a stance, non-believer is not.
Especially when you consider the "A" prefix to mean "Anti" or Anti-Theism or against religion.
This makes the average locals around my region as non-believers and not really Atheists, since they simply don't believe in a deity, but don't oppose religion.
I prefer to capitalize the "A" prefix for myself, because I'm definitely an Anti-Theist.
and I when I refer to the average atheist around here I use the lower case "a", for lesser anti-religious sentiments/behavior.
I'm an Atheist, because I go out of my way and revel in attacking theism, especially fundamentalism and creationism.
I gain a lot of pleasure out of denigrating superstitious beliefs and pseudo-scientific bullshit.
Even though I see it as just a cognitive, cultural evolution from a dark form of cultural transitional form (Irrational) to a more rational form.
I consider theists as transitional fossils in the cultural/cognitive evolution of the human race.
Well, this is how it may appear to those of the future, say a couple of thousand years time.
Though when creationists attack me, I automatically label themselves as evidence of transitional fossils, which they really Hate! LOL :-D~
I enjoyed the essay Armin. In the ideal world, professing theistic/atheistic beliefs would be unnecessary.
Oddly enough, before I came to read your essay, I had just gotten off a nutjob conservative website doing a bang up job of rehashing the so called "war on Christmas". Several people, claiming to be atheists, chimed in that they had no gripe with proposed legislation protecting schools, government agencies and their employees from lawsuits when "season celebrations" were taught or buildings/properties were decorated as such. In their mind, we should go along with the majority as it is what makes up the culture of the community.
When I saw the title of your essay, I was completely prepared to see another apology for abusively imposed beliefs and culture. Prior to reading what you had written, I mentally ran through the reasoning I would use to oppose it. I was quite pleased to see your reasoning ran along the same lines as mine. Boiling it down, and I believe most court judges would agree, is the question of "what harm is being done to the minority?" You've done a good job of identifying what many in the theistic community can no longer see. They've come to see the previously accepted situation as right. In property matters I can understand the reasoning behind the saying "possession is 9/10's of the law". Unfortunately, when dealing with individual rights, it's circular reasoning to believe you're right to impose your beliefs for no better reason that that you were previously successful in imposing them. I think stated another way, that's just "right makes right".
As atheists, we have a responsibility to oppose attempts to force beliefs upon us. It's not just good for us, it's good for everyone. Hiding in the shadows only encourages the bullies. They're just going to have to make their case as best they can and convince us to go along. Good luck with that. Those days are clearly drawing to an end.
Armin, I have always held the same view. I feel uncomfortable being labelled as an Atheist. While studying Philosophy I came to identify with a group of philosophers called Encyclopedists. They were a group of people brought together by Denis Diderot. Diderot was the editor of the first comprehensive Encyclopedia. Spending most of his adult life gathering knowledge, Diderot became a connoisseur of human understanding. He was heavily influenced by empiricists such as Bacon and Locke. This put him in conflict with the Catholic church who considered themselves the authority on knowledge.
It wasn't as true to characterize the Encyclopedists as anti-theocratic as pro-empirical. This is also how I identify my philosophical stance. Unfortunately few people would understand what I mean when I identify myself as an Encyclopedist.
I also do not strongly identify with rationalism. The great epistemological metamorphosis that took place during the Enlightenment was empiricism. Diderot realized it was futile to project onto the world how we felt it should be. This only distracted us from actually observing what existed. Rationalism was an improvement over idealism but was essentially a more disciplined form of idealism. Rationalism needed to be subordinate to empiricism.
It would be possible to write a book of examples of the failures of rationalism. I will limit myself to one example. During the time of the Encyclopedists a group of economists known as Physiocrats were proposing Free Enterprise. One of them, Turgot, became Louis XV's minister of finance and eliminated regulations on the grain trade. The results were disastrous. Grain prices rose. Too much grain was exported and there was large scale starvation. Turgot's reasoning was perfectly rational and very convincing.
One of the Encyclopedists, Galiani, wrote Discourse on the Grain Trade, in which he asked how could it be possible to create an equation, or rational model, for something as complex as the wealth of a nation? How could you possibly deal with a relationship that may contain hundreds of variables? The only possible way of managing something so complex would be to make small, careful changes and observe the effects.
Personally, I would love to see the day when the words, "atheism" and "atheist" become obsolete ... along with "theism" and "theist," and all the other related terminology. I want to see the people of the world as PEOPLE, fragile, transitory beings who live our lives NOW and value NOW, rather than striving for a place in an unseen afterlife, ruled by an unproven god.
Until that day and while believers still attempt to superimpose their beliefs on individuals and governments, I declare without hesitation:
I Am An Atheist.
I had no interest in atheism until I realized the role religion plays in wars and conflicts. Religion plays a very important role in maintaining and perpetuating family violence. I began to pay attention to current wars and wars throughout history, realizing the role religion played in those events.
Atheist means nothing more or less than non-belief in god/s with many different versions and manifestations. All these splinter groups with their different agendas have virtually no power to influence resistance to the perils of religious policies and practices. Therefore, laying aside differences, joining together for a common cause to effectively challenge religions' power, makes good sense.
By forming coalitions with Atheists, Agnostics, FreeThinkers, Irreligious, Naturalist, Skeptic, Secular Humanists, Spiritual Humanists, and including Atheist Nexus, American Atheists and Atheist Republic, there is a possibility to secure and regain desired rights.
That's precisely why I am a supporter (member) of Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF). If groups like that don't fight prayer in schools and board meetings, no one will. Unlike the Civil Rights Movement, where injustice was the cause, standing up to the religious majority is a cause that is simply the "right" thing to do. PS: I'm a golfer, but liked your analogy.

Contest Winners and Literary Devices Part 7: False Documents
Thank you all for joining in my 500 Followers Contest to celebrate independent bookstores! I used Random.org to help pick the winners. They and their corresponding bookstores, are:

Congrats to the winners.
I don't think I have done false documents. Interesting.
- December 3, 2010 at 6:59 AM
- Laura Pauling said...
I don't mind. If a writer can pull off a false document and make me believe it then all the better. All to say that I tend to steer away from it with my writing because I feel like I'm like lying or misconstruing history.
- December 3, 2010 at 7:06 AM
- salarsenッ said...
Congrats to the winners.
As far as false documents, no I haven't. But I've always wondered how one approaches that. I guess like any other fictional element.
- December 3, 2010 at 7:12 AM
- Tricia J. O'Brien said...
Truth or fiction? In fiction, it's all game. :) Thanks for another interesting post.
In the end notes for REVOLUTION, Jennifer Donnelly cites sources for the historical information she weaves in a fictional diary.
- December 3, 2010 at 7:40 AM
- C. N. Nevets said...
I love the way it was done in The Princess Bride. Jack Higgins used a little of the false document technique in many of his WWII thrillers.
For my money, the most brilliantly executed false document novel is Eaters of the Dead by Michael Crichton. Not only does it purport to be a edited translation itself, but it is filled with footnotes and references to corroborating documents and scholarly articles. To this day, as much as I know it's fiction, I can't bring myself to swear that all the documents are false.
After reading that book, I gave up trying it on my own, because I thought I could never achieve that level of greatness.
- December 3, 2010 at 7:53 AM
Congrats to the winners!!!!
LOL, yeah, I'm pulling the "false document" in my current rewrite. *grins* I don't mind if an author uses a fake book.
- December 3, 2010 at 8:05 AM
- Melissa Gill said...
I too am so gullible, I probably thougth that all of those false document were real. I need to read The Princess Bride myself.
I do have a story idea on my list that involves a false document, but don't know if I'll ever write it.
- December 3, 2010 at 8:08 AM
- Stina Lindenblatt said...
Congrats winners!
Until now, I'd never heard of false documents, or at least never thought about it.
- December 3, 2010 at 8:09 AM
- Angela Felsted said...
I love them. I think it's a creative thing to use. That's a pretty funny story about how you requested a false document, though.
- December 3, 2010 at 9:12 AM
I'm another one whose never heard of false documents,once again I've learnt something new just by visiting your blog Lydia.
- December 3, 2010 at 9:16 AM
- Carol Kilgore said...
Hmmmm...not sure. Maybe. Dan Brown comes to mind.
- December 3, 2010 at 9:44 AM
- Slamdunk said...
Congrats to your winners--what a great way to end the week.
- December 3, 2010 at 9:49 AM
- Kerri C at CK Farm said...
I never really thought about this, but yea I like it! Like you said though it has you anxious to find it, lol! That's where an author could really have fun with readers and do a spin off or a web game :)
Thanks!!!! :)
- December 3, 2010 at 9:50 AM
- Rachna Chhabria said...
Congrats to the winners.
Lydia, I have never heard of the false documents before. Will now try to read more about it. Thanks for alerting me about it.
- December 3, 2010 at 10:14 AM
- Matthew Rush said...
Another awesome example: The Necronomicon: from pretty much all of HP Lovecraft's stories.
Congrats winners!
- December 3, 2010 at 10:43 AM
- Holly Ruggiero said...
Congrats to the winners.
I think they are kind of cool.
- December 3, 2010 at 11:06 AM

Congrats to your winners!!
I think they're fun.
- December 3, 2010 at 12:02 PM
- Sondrae Bennett said...
I can't think of any false documents but there are plenty of novels out there where women pretend to be men. One of the most popular is Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night"
- December 3, 2010 at 12:24 PM
- The Golden Eagle said...
Congrats to the winners!
Interesting idea . . . I've never tried it, but it sounds like a great idea to experiment with!
- December 3, 2010 at 12:38 PM
- Carol Riggs said...
I LOVE the Princess Bride! It was the first DVD I ever bought. :)
JK Rowling had fake books in her HP novels--but of course, no one would mistake her magical book titles for the real things. Susan Fletcher's DRAGON'S MILK (and her accompanying trilogy) had quotes at the beginning of each chapter, from invented books, one which was called THE BOK OF DRAGON.
I haven't made up books in my own novels, but I've made up video game names, and music bands (DarkWorlds Extreme, Battle Ring Seven, and Masters of the Cyberverse for games, and Beat'n Golden for a band name). I even decided to use Battle Ring Seven for the story idea/title of another novel. Hopefully no one will think they are real things! *grin*
- December 3, 2010 at 12:46 PM
- Em said...
Congrats to the winners!
I'm for them although with any literary device you have to be sure not to be too sweet, too dear. But if you can use one convincingly, in a way that draws the reader further in to the tale, as opposed to snapping them out of it, then by all means. And they'll allow movement in story that might not be easily done otherwise.
- December 3, 2010 at 1:05 PM
- Alex J. Cavanaugh said...
No, I haven't.
And I'd never heard the word Bildungsroman until I saw it in the Publishers Weekly review of my novel. (Sadly, they didn't think I'd succeeded. Oh well.)
- December 3, 2010 at 1:11 PM
- Old Kitty said...
Congratulations to the winners!!! Esp. to the fab Shannon Whitney Messenger!! Yay!
False documents in novels - gosh!! How interesting and intriguing!! I must read up on this type of plot device!!! Thank you! Take care
- December 3, 2010 at 1:16 PM
- Shannon Whitney Messenger said...
Ahhh--I won? I never win anything. That is SO cool! Thank you!
And wow, I've never seen false documents before. I TOTALLY would have fallen for it too!
- December 3, 2010 at 1:40 PM
- Donea Lee said...
OMG - I've totally believed that about The Princess Bride, too. *resists looking in mirror to see my d'oh face* Well, well... bravo to the writers who can pull it off! If I thought I could successfully snowball a whole reading community with a false document in my novel...I'd consider it. :)
- December 3, 2010 at 1:59 PM
- Krispy said...
I think if it's done well, it can really add to the flavor of a book. :)
Hey, but I was totally tricked by the whole Princess Bride thing too!
- December 3, 2010 at 2:41 PM
- Raquel Byrnes said...
I actually love it. It extends the imaginary world beyond the book.
And I remember that in the Princess Bride...I wanted all books to come with a "Good Parts" version. =)
Edge of Your Seat Romance
- December 3, 2010 at 3:49 PM
I haven't falsified any docs yet...but I will. I already know I will. I've haven't got to figuring them out and where they'll go in the series quite yet. Obviously I'm all for the fake book/docs it adds another element to an imaginary world that keeps it grounded and real in a readers mind.
- December 3, 2010 at 6:36 PM
- Meredith said...
I LOVE The Princess Bride! I've never used false documents in my WiP, but there's always something intriguing about them.
- December 3, 2010 at 6:56 PM
- Hanny said...
It's an interesting tool to use. I loved the Princess Bride too, and was also fooled when I first read it!
One of the major hoax-books that I've discovered is "Eaters of the Dead" by Michael Crichton. It's supposed to be the true story of the Beowulf legend taken from the journals of an Arab traveler in Scandinavia. It's also the basis for the movie "13th Warrior."
- December 3, 2010 at 7:01 PM
- Jai Joshi said...
I think it's a fantastic device to pull the reader into a whole other level of believing. Love it although I've never used it myself.
And I adore the Princess Bride!
- December 3, 2010 at 7:11 PM
I like the idea of false documentation. I recently read a novel where the author used false and real documentation, clarifying which were which in the end book notes. Unless noted, any documentation in fiction I've considered as fiction. But maybe some were REAL!
- December 3, 2010 at 9:11 PM
- The Words Crafter said...
Congratulations to the winners!!!!
I'm creating a couple magazines in my nano story and also a fictitious reporter in a real national newspaper. Do those count?
- December 4, 2010 at 8:03 AM
- Lisa Gail Green said...
Such a cool post! You always point out these things that I haven't really thought about. I'd have to say the ultimate example is The Neverending Story. A book within a book.
- December 4, 2010 at 11:52 AM
- Karen Lange said...
Congrats to the winners! Haven't thought about using false documents, but maybe someday. Love The Princess Bride! :)
Happy weekend,
- December 4, 2010 at 3:18 PM
- The Red Angel said...
Wow, thanks so much Lydia for hosting
such a wonderful giveaway! I'm so excited, I can't wait to start shopping at Tipsy Teapot. :D
- December 5, 2010 at 4:30 PM
- Jemi Fraser said...
Congrats to the winners!!
Good point on the false documents. They can really add to a story - depends on how the author and the skill with which they create it!
- December 5, 2010 at 8:45 PM
- Munk Davis said...
I like your Princess Bride story. When I read the book, I got frustrated whenever Goldman left what I considered the main story.
- December 5, 2010 at 10:49 PM
- Laura Eno said...
I have an award for you on my blog. :)
A Shift in Dimensions
- December 6, 2010 at 5:37 AM
- Giles Hash said...
I think false documents are great. In fact they're part of the reason I love the Harry Potter series so much! They make the story-universe so much more real.
- December 6, 2010 at 8:28 AM
- Janet Johnson said...
Congrats to the winner and wow on the false documents. I have ideas, but no idea if I'm right . . . and if its any comfort, I totally fell for the Princess Bride fraud, too. :D I still laugh about it. But what a great prelude (or whatever he called it) to the book.
- December 6, 2010 at 3:43 PM
- Solvang Sherrie said...
I love the idea of false documents. Cindy Pon did that in her novel, Silver Phoenix, referring to the ancient Book of Making, the Book of the Dead, the Book of Lands Beyond. It actually made me wonder if there were real world counterparts for these documents, but no, it was just her imagination. I thought it gave an added layer of depth to the story though.

My copy of Game Informer did not arrive today. Time and the Columbia alumni rag, which I actively do not want, did. So I will not be reading about Borderlands 2 this weekend, as some are.
The game's GI tract says the characters from the original will return as NPCs; enemies will have better AI and interactions (a must after the first game), a weapons overhaul, customizable armaments, and a new currency and resource system
I'm going off what others are saying; wanted you to be aware of it too, because as we know, until something is announced it does not exist. Game Informer's web site will dole out the details piecemeal. Right now it's just the mag's cover reveal.

Hutschenreuther Porcelain Factory was founded by Carolus Magnus in Hohenburg, Bavaria, in 1814. A second factory was established in Selb, Germany, in 1857. The company made fine quality porcelain dinnerwares and figurines. The mark changed through the years, but the name and the lion insignia appear in most versions. Hutschenreuther became part of the Rosenthal division of the Waterford Wedgwood Group in 2000. Since 2000, Hutschenreuther is a Rosenthal trademark for the porcelain and bone china. Rosenthal became part of the Arcturus Group in 2009.
