Reading grab late draw against Chelsea after Adam Le Fondre double
Chelsea missed the chance to close the gap on second-placed Manchester City after being held to a 2-2 draw by Reading.
Last Updated: 30/01/13 10:56pm
The Blues were in firm control of the match with 66 minutes played courtesy of goals from Juan Mata and Frank Lampard.
Mata stuck on the stroke of half-time to open the scoring with Lampard's well-placed header seemingly wrapping up the points.
However, the introduction of Adam Le Fondre changed the game. He pulled one back with three minutes to go before snatching a point with virtually the last kick of the game.
Chelsea were in control in the first half, however, they were unable to convert their domination of possession and territory into clear-cut chances.
They made the breakthrough just before half-time when Fernando Torres dinked a lovely through-ball in for Mata who lashed home a left-footed shot - the first attempt on target in the half.
The Blues carried their dominance into the second half and the game looked dead and buried in the 66th minute when Mata's corner was met by Lampard who finished with aplomb into the top corner.
Reading manager Brian McDermott made changes late on as the Royals attempted to get back into the game, but it seemed more likely Chelsea would add a third rather than concede.
Blues substitute Yossi Benayoun found Brazilian Oscar, but Adam Federici came out quickly to close down the midfielder and make the block.
Out of the blue the Royals pulled one back. Two substitutes combined as Hope Akpan played in super-sub Le Fondre who lashed home a first-time effort past Ross Turnbull.
And their comeback was completed with virtually the last kick of the game as Reading lumped the ball forward from a free-kick. Jimmy Kebe nodded the ball on for Akpan who kept things alive and it fell nicely for Le Fondre to guide the ball home and level the match.

PITTSBURG — Police and SWAT officers arrested one suspect in an October attempted murder case Wednesday morning, but another man is still at large.
The operation to serve search warrants and the search for one suspect shut down a major street for almost 2 1/2 hours. No one was injured.
Officers served the search warrant around 9 a.m. at a home on the 1000 block of Steven Drive, according to Pittsburg police Lt. Ron Raman. They arrested Kalif Anderson, 20, of Pittsburg, Raman said; a second suspect, Kenneth Thompson, 29, of Pittsburg, was not located in a search.
Anderson and Thompson were wanted in the Oct. 21 shooting of three people in a vehicle near the intersection of East 10th Street and Harbor Street, Raman said. One victim was paralyzed as a result of the shooting, he added.
The shooting stemmed from an "ongoing feud" between the two groups, Raman said. He said both Anderson and Thompson had "extensive" criminal histories.
SWAT officers used a flashbang grenade during the raid Wednesday morning, Raman said.
Buchanan Road was closed between Loveridge Road and Suzanne Drive until about 12:45 p.m. as officers searched and cleared the area.
Anyone with information on the case or Thompson's whereabouts is asked to contact Pittsburg police at 925-427-7369.

This stone appears to be broken into many pieces. Do you know how it was repaired? Is it something you initiated, or did you find it already like this? I'm just wondering because I've found several stones broken, but I have no idea what is involved in getting them fixed.ReplyDelete
I had no involvement with the fixing of the stone. It is a shame that so many of our cemeteries are being damaged these days!

Texas school lunches next year will be a little less sweet: a bill to outlaw at most public school campuses any beverages other than water, milk and 100 percent juice, is on its way to Gov. Rick Perry's desk.
Sodas had already been prohibited from public schools, but House Bill 217, sponsored by Sen. Carlos Uresti, D-San Antonio, goes a step further, he said. It does not apply to Texas high schools. Starting in September, elementary, middle and junior high school students must offer only water without sweetner, milk with 1 percent or less fat or 100 percent fruit or vegetable juice.
"We need to get our arms around the issue of obesity, which we know causes many health problems like diabetes," Uresti said. "Meanwhile, we're dealing with the budget. If we're ever going to get a handle on that, we need to start thinking ahead. We want to teach the kids at an early age, to get them to start thinking healthy."
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 17 percent of Texas children in 2012 between 2 and 5 years old were overweight, and 15 percent were obese.
As a public school student, Uresti said he remembers buying candy and sodas from vending machines at school every day. "It was just routine," he said. He tried to pass the bill but was unsuccessful; this year, Uresti said, the legislation has support of vendors like Coca-Cola, which told the senator's office it has more than 100 products that it could sell under the new ban.

10 YA Books That Scarred Us For Life
Today is the 73rd birthday of YA staple Gary Paulsen, the author of over 200 novels, including Brian's Saga (read: Hatchet and its ensuing sequels). Hatchet is one of those books it seems like just about everyone we know has read, and just about everyone we know (ahem, including us) was at least a little bit scarred by it — or at the very least, picked up some important survival skills. So as a tribute to the author of this ubiquitous novel, and for a fun trip down memory lane, we've compiled a list of YA books that gave us some serious emotional wounds that we may or may not still be nursing a little bit. Click through to check out our list of YA books that totally scarred us for life, and let us know which ones still keep you up at night in the comments.
Hatchet, Gary Paulsen
In this novel, Brian's plane crashes, leaving him alone in the wilderness with only his hatchet to rely on, staying alive on his wits and this one archaic tool. Okay, we learned some survival skills, but we can't even bring hatchets on planes anymore. We can't even bring Swiss army knives! We bought a Swiss army knife after reading this book and then realized it totally wouldn't help in a plane crash situation! This book just reinforced our feeling that we would probably die if stranded in the wilderness for 54 days. Sigh.

A letter in the Feb. 26 Tomahawk Leader:
Dear Editor:
I would like to congratulate the residential property taxpayers of the City of Tomahawk on their contribution to the remodeling of the real estate in the downtown area. Hang on to your wallets taxpayers for the city fathers are not done with us yet. This project will grow. Over the last 30 years, about once a decade, there's been a taxpayer paid proposal or study done on the remodeling of those store fronts. When it came time for the downtown property owners to invest their own money, in their own property, they didn't. It apparently wasn't a profitable investment for those business owners. One must ask the question "Why then, is it a good investment for the rest of us?" The standard reply will be "Well heck, it's State of Wisconsin money." That's how we ended up with a $100,000 gas station for the none existent traffic at the Tomahawk Regional Airport. I really tire of hearing "It's State money" or "It's Federal money." It's our money. It's my money. "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch."
Dave Ruten
No free lunch

I can get pretty preachy when I'm passionate about something. Like how Boston Terriers are the cutest breed of dog and how The Bachelorette is quality television, for example. The importance of wearing SPF is also something I step on my proverbial pulpit for. It's the single most important step in preventing skin cancer, and if that doesn't quite resonate, hello, the anti-aging benefits should!
Here's our picks for the best sunscreens of summer, and beyond. Remember, SPF is a year-round necessity!
Best in Multitasking. Kate Somerville SPF 55 Serum Sunscreen. We trust our faces with Kate completely, and SPF is no exception. We especially love that this antioxidant-rich sunscreen doubles as a serum, eliminating an extra step in our morning routine. $45 for 2oz. KateSomerville.com
Best in Natural. Josie Maran Protect Daily Sun Protection Argan Oil Infused SPF 40+. Sometimes natural sunscreens can be tough to blend, but not this one. This is infused with Argan Oil, and works to repair skin and improve skin tone. I love the mild, lightweight formula. I find it's a great base for makeup in the summer, too! $32 for 2 oz. Sephora.com
Best in Texture. SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50. Absolutely weightless, this is a powerhouse at fighting off the sun's harmful rays. It contains only physical blockers, as well as a plankton extract (called artemia salina) to increase the skin's ability to defend against UV and heat stress. As an added bonus, it comes in a universal tint that makes makeup-free days a reality. $30 for 1.7 oz. SkinCeuticals.com
Best in Powder. Jane Iredale Powder-Me SPF™ Dry Sunscreen – SPF 30. Ancient clay rich in minerals is at play in this product, and this might be my favorite for the purse. It starts working upon application, and layers well over moisturizer and other products. The tanned version is great for giving arms and legs some sculpt, and the translucent seamlessly disappears while protecting. The only downside? It's kinda pricey. $44, Jane Iredale
Best in Lips. Bobbi Brown Treatment Lip Shine SPF 15. This formula covers off on the SPF, and is the perfect summery lip. Bright colors in a sheer, juicy formula that's packed with cocoa and shea butters and jojoba, apricot kernel and avocado oils. It really is a treatment for your lips! $23, BobbiBrownCosmetics.com
Best in Budget. Aveeno Smart Essentials Daily Nourishing Moisturizer SPF 30. Aveeno does sun protection very well, and I really appreciate how they included SPF 30 in the Smart Essentials day moisturizer. Another multitasker! The star ingredient is southernwood extract, an antioxidant that helps soothe stressed skin. $15 for 2.5 oz. Ulta
Best in Ingredients. PCA Skin Perfecting Protection SPF 30. There are so many rock star ingredients in here, it's mind-blowing. Caffeine, Silybin (a.k.a. milk thistle), bearberry, licorice root extract, lactic acid, kojic acid, among others, work to reduce skin discoloration and prevent future hyperpigmentation. Sun spots, you've been warned. I use this mainly on my arms, chest and neck but it is also good for the face. $24 for 1.7 oz. Dermstore.com

Red Hat Virtualization Manager Requires Windows
2009-11-06 Red Hat 15 Comments
"As a major Linux vendor, one might expect that Red Hat's new Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Servers solution would be able to run on Linux servers. You'd be wrong. Not only is that not the case, but the Management Server piece of RHEV, which provides virtualization management capabilities, requires users to be running Microsoft's Windows Server. That's no typo: A Linux vendor is requiring its users to run one of its key new products on the rival, closed source Windows operating system. According to Red Hat, the plan is to have a Linux version ready by some point in 2010. But in the meantime, Red Hat customers who want to run the virtualization manager must purchase or already own a Windows server."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court debated Tuesday whether young teenagers convicted of killing someone may be locked up for life with no chance of parole, the latest in a line of cases seeking a second chance for young people.
The justices are looking at two cases involving teenagers serving life sentences. In one, 14-year-old Evan Miller in Alabama beat a man, then set fire to his home. In the other, 14-year-old Kuntrell Jackson in Arkansas didn't pull the trigger, but was in on an attempted robbery in which another boy shot and killed a store clerk.
Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote earlier opinions ruling out the death penalty for juveniles and life without parole sentences for young people whose crimes did not involve killing. He seemed again to be the pivotal justice in Tuesday's arguments.
Roughly 2,300 people are behind bars for life with no chance of winning their freedom for crimes they committed before their 18 birthday. Only 79, however, are in prison for crimes that took place when they were 14 or younger.
Kennedy was one of several justices who appeared to be troubled by the lack of flexibility in sentencing young killers. Several states that try people younger than 18 in adult courts allow for only one sentence, life with no chance of parole, for defendants who are convicted of murder.
He seemed to indicate he might favor a ruling that gives judges a role in determining an appropriate sentence, "that the sentence cannot be mandatory, but that in some cases, it might still be imposed."
Bryan Stevenson, the lawyer for both defendants, tried to resist Kennedy's approach, preferring an outcome that would force states to consider parole at some point for anyone with a life sentence who was convicted before turning 18.
Stevenson said the court has previously recognized that it is a "mistake to equate kids with adults. And we don't have the ability to make those judgments even if we create a different kind of process."
Arguing for Alabama, state Solicitor General John Neiman Jr. said the court should respect the decisions of Alabama, Arkansas and 37 other states that allow children to be tried and punished as adults.
"Imposing life without parole sentences on aggravated murder offenders like Evan Miller is in line with the national consensus, is morally justified, and is consistent with legitimate penological goals," Neiman said.
Justices Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito sounded most likely to vote with the states.
Scalia peppered Stevenson with questions about where the court should draw the line.
"Well, you know, once you depart from the principle that we've enunciated that death is different, why is life without parole categorically different from 60 years or 70 years or, you know, you'd be back here next term with a 60-year sentence?" Scalia said.
The court has a range of options available if there is a majority to cut back on states' sentencing powers. The court could issue a blanket ruling that applies to everyone under 18.
It could set a younger cutoff age, as both defendants at the high court were 14.
The justices also might throw out mandatory sentences, but still allow judges to impose life without parole once they consider the circumstances of the crime and the defendant's background. On that point, several justices pointed to the apparent difference in the culpability of the defendants in the two cases.
The court should decide the cases by early summer.
The cases are Miller v. Alabama, 10-9646, and Jackson v. Hobbs, 10-9647.

The Dirty Dozen: The 12 Hottest Female Anchors on Business Television
If you spend your entire day like we do, keeping one eye on a sea of computer screens awash in green and red numbers and charts, and the other on a TV tuned to CNBC (and occasionally Bloomberg and even more occasionally Fox Business), you come to truly appreciate the business networks' beautiful — and incredibly smart and knowledgeable — women anchors. Here are our 12 favorites:
Maria Bartiromo
Bartiromo is one of the original female business news anchors. As a result of he rise to prominence she earned the nickname "Money Honey." She hosts "Closing Bell" on CNBC every day, which airs from 3 to 5 p.m., though she'll frequently pop on at other times with high-profile interviews. Bartiromo allegedly had an affair with Todd Thomson, the former head of Citigroup's Wealth Management division. On one trip home from China, Thompson ran into Bartiromo and made the other Citigroup employees fly home commercial while he took the company's private jet with Bartiromo. Allegedly.
Erin Burnett
Burnett started her career at Goldman Sachs and then worked at a number of different Wall Street firms until she eventually ended up at CNBC. Our opinion is that CNBC brought in the young and spicy Burnett to replace the aging Bartiromo. Ever since joining CNBC, Burnett has seen her airtime increase while Bartiromo's has decreased. She anchors CNBC's "Street Signs" which airs daily from 9 to 11 a.m. and is also the host of the 2 p.m. "Squawk on The Street." [Editor AG's Note: I'd marry Erin Burnett tomorrow, if only all of Wall Street wasn't madly in love with her, too.]
Trish Regan
Just like her colleague Burnett she started her career at Goldman Sachs and then hedge fund D.E. Shaw before landing at CNBC. Regan may well be the most well-rounded chick in the biz — and not just because she's currently preggers. Prior to graduating c*m laude from Columbia, Regan was Miss New Hampshire. She hosts CNBC's "The Call" weekdays from 11 a.m. to noon, but most of her work is done in special reporting. Her most famous work was a special she hosted entitled "Marijuana Inc.," which took an in-depth look at the underground marijuana industry in the states. Brains, beauty, and a pot special make Regan our top pick.
Melissa Francis
Francis started her career at a very young age as an actor. She appeared in a number of commercials as a young child but her most famous role was as Cassandra Cooper Ingalls in "Little House on the Prairie." She currently co-anchors CNBC's "The Call," airing weekdays from 11 a.m. to noon. She's basically like a utility player for CNBC — not big enough to hold down her own show but can fill in where needed.
Becky Quick
Started her career working at the Wall Street Journal before joining CNBC in 2001. Quick is co-anchor of CNBC's "Squawk Box," which airs weekdays from 6 to 9 a.m. and is also a fill in on other programs. Quick is married to the producer of the show she hosts, "Squawk Box" which is why we think she's more looks than brains. That said, she has also managed to forge one of the most exclusive reporter-subject relationships we've ever seen — with billionaire Warren Buffett, no less. You will almost never see an interview with the Oracle of Omaha without Quick asking the questions.
Amanda Drury
Drury is one of CNBC's hidden gems; she anchors two programs: "Squawk Box" and "Cash Flow" for CNBC Asia. While mainly appearing on CNBC Asia she occasionally fills in for anchors in the U.S. A mini controversy occurred this summer when Drury appeared on air exposing more cleavage than her American colleagues. We were huge fans of this but apparently her producers were not. While it hasn't been confirmed, supposedly CNBC producers unfortunately asked her to cover up a bit. While she hasn't been on air in the States recently, we hope to see her again very soon.
Julia Boorstin
Boorstin is another one of CNBC's lesser-know hotties. She is a Princeton graduate and wrote for Fortune magazine before joining CNBC. Unfortunately she doesn't host a show on the network but instead is a general assignment reporter as well as CNBC's media and entertainment reporter. She reports all over the world from various media and entertainment-related events and occasionally makes appearances in the studio. Just like Drury, she's another reporter in the CNBC arsenal that we would like to see a lot more of.
Melissa Lee
Lee started her career at Bloomberg Television and CNN Financial News before joining CNBC in 2004. She is now the host of CNBC's popular show, "Fast Money," which airs weekdays at 5 p.m. She is also used to fill in where needed and recently reported on and hosted a one-hour doc*mentary about the growth of China.
Rebecca Jarvis
Jarvis got her lucky break in a more unconventional way than the other members of this list. After working as an investment banker and a trader, she auditioned for "The Apprentice" and won a spot. Jarvis was one of two, finalists but was eliminated in the final episode. She was hired by CNBC shortly thereafter, where she worked as a general assignments reporter. It was just announced on October 21, 2009, however, that she wil be leaving the network. While no official plans have been announced, it is widely believed Jarvis is headed to CBS. At the age of 27, she is the youngest member on the list, so look to be seeing her for some time to come.
Alexis Glick
Glick is a Columbia grad who started her career working as an analyst for Goldman Sachs and had a number of other jobs in the financial industry. Her most notable achievement was when she was an executive director and headed the New York Stock Exchange Floor Operations for Morgan Stanley. She then worked for CNBC before joining rival network Fox, where she is currently the Vice President of Business News as well as the anchor of "The Opening Bell" weekdays 9 to 10 a.m. She is also a mother of three and, to be honest, she kind of scares us; on the flip side, she would make a great sugar mama.
Jenna Lee
Lee is a gorgeous West Coast blonde. She graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara, where she played softball. She started her career at Fortune working as a reporter and segment producer before joining Fox. She was one of the original anchors to go on air when Fox Business was launched in October of 2007. Her father was an NFL quarterback and her brother is currently the starting quarterback for the University of Nebraska. While she doesn't currently host a show on Fox she appears on the network every day giving new breaks and updates on stories. It is also rumored that she will appear in the much-anticipated movie sequel "Wall Street 2."

Why good flight attendants matter
How would you respond to an in-flight emergency? If your answer involves seeking help from flight attendants, that's not surprising. Passengers typically consider them to be the cabin safety go-to people.
But private aircraft carrying fewer than 19 passengers aren't required to carry a flight attendant. And even when one is on board, he or she may lack sufficient training to help in an emergency.
"When a CEO walks on a business airplane and sees a well-dressed employee performing safety briefings, most would believe the person to be a [trained] flight attendant," said Susan C. Friedenberg, president and CEO of Corporate Flight Attendant Training & Consulting Services. In reality, she noted, "the person might not know anything about the airplane."
Accident investigations have provided evidence for the validity of Friedenberg's point. In November 2004, a chartered Bombardier Challenger 601 carrying NBC Sports chairman Dick Ebersol and his two sons crashed, killing the captain, the flight attendant and Ebersol's youngest son. The other pilot was injured and unable to assist the passengers with an evacuation.
The flight attendant was working his first corporate flight; how much training he had received about the intricacies of opening the main and emergency exits is unknown. In any case, the attendant apparently did not conduct a safety briefing before takeoff. In another Challenger crash, this one in February 2005 at New Jersey's Teterboro Airport, the extent of the flight attendant's training was also unclear. This flight also began without a safety briefing.
In an emergency, a business-aircraft passenger may quickly learn how important it is to have a trained flight attendant on board. "Many believe they won't make it out alive [from a crash] anyway, so why bother [preparing for emergencies]?" said psychologist Beau Altman, who runs HBA Corp., an aircrew member emergency training company. "But four out of five people live through most crashes and 65 percent of them simply sit there waiting for directions."
Why don't passengers pay more attention to flight attendants and their training? Friedenberg explained that on private aircraft, passengers often value privacy over everything else. "Sometimes the flight attendant is expected to simply disappear once food and drinks have been served," she said. Sometimes, too, jet owners simply don't want to invest in training, though annual recurrent training for a flight attendant costs a relatively modest $5,000 to $7,000. Another factor could be that some executives simply believe emergencies won't happen on their flights.
Friedenberg offered some advice: "When an executive climbs aboard an airplane, ask if the person meeting them at the top of the stairs is actually a flight attendant. Ask how much aircraft-specific experience the person has and where they were last trained and when. I've watched executives waste catering that costs more than a flight attendant's annual recurrent training. Passengers in back need to start thinking about what their lives are worth."

Gerry Conlon, who was wrongly convicted of the 1974 IRA Guildford pub bombing, has died aged 60, his family have announced.
Mr Conlon and the rest of the Guildford Four served 14 years of a life sentence for the attack which killed five people and injured 65, before their convictions were overturned in 1989.
He was later played by Daniel Day-Lewis in the film In The Name Of The Father.
Mr Conlon's family issued a statement through his lawyer Gareth Peirce.
It said: "This morning we lost our Gerry.
"He brought life, love, intelligence, wit and strength to our family through its darkest hours.
"He helped us to survive what we were not meant to survive.
"We recognise that what he achieved by fighting for justice for us had a far, far greater importance - it forced the world's closed eyes to be opened to injustice; it forced unimaginable wickedness to be acknowledged; we believe it changed the course of history.
"We thank him for his life and we thank all his many friends for their love."
Mr Conlon died in his home in the Falls Road area of Belfast after a lengthy illness.
Alex Attwood, SDLP Stormont Assembly member for the area, paid tribute to him.
"He'd given an awful lot but yet had so much more to give," Mr Attwood said.
"What he learned from his time in prison and campaign for release was the importance of not only raging against his own injustice but fighting for those who had also suffered miscarriages of justice."
Mr Attwood added: "He's now with his dad and his mum."
Mr Conlon's father Giuseppe, who was jailed as part of a discredited investigation into a supposed bomb making family - the Maguire Seven, died after five years in jail.
His mother Sarah, a tireless campaigner for their freedom, died in 2008, aged 82.
Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams expressed his shock and deep sadness at the news.
"Gerry and his father Giuseppe were two of the most infamous examples of miscarriages of justice by the British political and judicial system," Mr Adams said.
"Their story was told graphically in the film In The Name Of The Father.
"To his family and friends I want to extend my sincere condolences."
In 2009 Mr Conlon wrote about the personal and emotional battles he suffered as a result of his incarceration and fight for freedom.
He suffered two breakdowns, attempted suicide and became addicted to drugs and alcohol following his release.
Mr Conlon also only began enduring nightmares after securing freedom.
"The ordeal has never left me," he said.
The jailing of Conlon and the other members of the Guildford Four - Paddy Armstrong, Paul Hill and Carole Richardson - is considered the biggest miscarriage of justice in British legal history.
They were jailed for life in 1975 for the devastating attack on the Horse and Groom pub in the Surrey town which killed four soldiers and a civilian.
But they were freed in October 1989 after the Court of Appeal quashed their sentences amid doubts raised about the police evidence against them.
An investigation by Avon and Somerset Police found serious flaws in the way Surrey Police handled the case.
As he emerged free from the Court of Appeal Gerry Conlon declared: "I have been in prison for something I did not do. I am totally innocent."
In July 2000 Prime Minister Tony Blair became the first senior politician to apologise to the Guildford Four.
Ireland's Foreign Affairs Minister, Eamon Gilmore, also extended his condolences.
"I am saddened to hear of the death of Gerry Conlon and send my condolences to his family and friends," the Tanaiste said.
"Mr Conlon suffered a grave miscarriage of justice along with his father, Giuseppe, Paul Hill, Carol Richardson and Paddy Armstrong.
"In later years Gerry drew from his experiences to campaign on behalf of others with the group Miscarriages of Justice Organisation.
"His loss will be felt both within the community in west Belfast and across the world with all those who work in pursuit of justice."
Speaking at an austerity protest in London's Parliament Square today, Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn (Islington North) began his address on equality by paying tribute to his "great friend" Mr Conlon.
He said: "He stood for justice despite having 14 years of his life taken away from him while he suffered in prison.
"What a great man, what an example for all of us."

Recently, an Egyptian atheist, wanted to share information with me regarding a link to a site for Egyptian atheists. This surprised me in light of the recent imprisonment of Alber Saber, in part, for expressing atheist views.
During that conversation, I asked, "Are you OK to be openly atheist there?"
He replied, "No, not really. I am very careful with what I say most of the time…I do get death threats sometimes, but kind of used to it… and obviously my parents don't know about it."
Because he is an atheist living in a country where it is unsafe to express his ideas, I volunteered to lend him my voice at this blog and on TAE. I told him to say what he wants to say, and I will make it public, because I live in a country where expression is, obviously, more tolerated. I encourage other atheists in free nations to give voices to our counterparts in gagged situations around the globe. If we can use our freedom of expression to provide a platform to those who are denied it, then it's well used.
What follows is the message I was given to share publicly. I have corrected a few minor typos, but otherwise, this is unedited:
Egypt from the eyes of an Egyptian Atheist
This is me, writing about Egypt from the first day of January 25th 2011 Revolution till the presidential elections. Me, is an Egyptian ex-Muslim currently an atheist and had been so since I was 17. I am now 31 years old.
Starting 25th January 2011, there were calls for protests against the dictator regime lead by Hosni Mubarak that was basically run by businessmen who were friends of his sons Gamal and Alaa Mubarak.
Me like thousands of Egyptians took it to the streets in peaceful protests, demanding basic human rights, Freedom, Social Justice and good living conditions for all Egyptians. That day was magical with the number of people joining us in the streets who saw that change is possible after the success of the Tunisian revolution.
From that day till the 28th of January 2011 majority of the people in the streets were liberals, secularists, leftists, communists and obviously Egyptians with no political affiliation, people, good people who demand and want change. During that time the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafis ("Hardcore Muslims") were in their houses, the Muslim Brotherhood was waiting to see what will happen and the Salafis were all waiting for a sheikh to issue a fatwa to join in. Some sheikhs said that joining these protests is against Islam, some later joined in with their followers.
We all inhaled tear gas that was expired, got shot at with all kinds of bullets and I personally saw and helped some of the injured, some of which died between my hands. Beautiful, free boys and girls who left their homes from the back of their parents like myself, for a cause that no human should even ask for, as freedom in all its forms should be a birth right. But what should we say about the world we live in that we still are in capable of sharing together as humans. How can we call ourselves Intelligent species with our hatred to one another, and divisions that we created whether it be religious, race country borders, gender or skin color.
On 27th January 2011, the Internet and cell phone networks were cut off taking us back to the 80s or before. I advise no dictatorship to do this for it was the day with most people in the streets and blood too. I will not go into details of people run over by police cars and random beatings detaining and disrespect performed by the police during those days and after it too.
The demands changed due to the slow response of the regime (well it was quite old) and now it was simple and unified all across Egypt "The People demand the removal of the regime", and after an 18 day sit-in in Tahrir Square, other squares in Egypt and protests in front of all the lively places in the country, the regime fell apart on 11th of February 2011. With blood and patience, not as much blood as being split in Syria right now, the regime was gone and celebrations started all around Egypt.
Finally we were free, or so I and many others thought, but wait we still had the cunning Muslim Brotherhood dreaming of taking over the country and the backward Salafis who want to implement sharia in its worst forms, like that in Saudi Arabia. (Why is a country named after a family name? And how did this family get hold of the country? Are questions worth thinking about for the Salafis who may read this).
A brief history of Egypt so that for those who don't know should be in picture, at least from my point of view. From the late 1800s all the way till 1960s, Egyptians used to go for education and work in Europe and the west in general coming back with liberal progressive ideas about life and religion. In 1925 an Egyptian writer named Adham Ismael wrote a book titled "Why I am an atheist" and the response was civil as an Islamic scholar wrote a response to the book titled "Why I am a Muslim", I hope it would have remained so. There were some problems for secular intellectuals, like Taha Hussein who was accused of blasphemy but there was never any serious threat to life, like in the case of Naguib Mahfouz who was almost assassinated in 1994 on the hands of Islamic Extremists , Farag Fouda who was killed after a debate about a secular state in Islam in 1992 with Omar Abdul Rahman who issued a fatwa with his death. (We will get back to Omar Abdul Rahman who is currently in prison in USA), or Nasser Hamid Abo Zaid who was divorced from his wife for being an apostate when some Islamists took him to court and won the case against him.
In 1970s after Saudi Arabia starting getting rich of oil, Egyptians started working there and came back with Wahabi, Salafi interpretations of Islam taking us slowly to the back. They now have TV channels and strong hold over a large number of followers, who OBEY, and yes it had to be in capital letters.
Now to the revolution once more, after the regime fell the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) replaced the regime in what it was doing and there was more blood, virginity tests for girls who took part in the revolution and arrested by them, we then had some protests in which all other than Islamists took part in. During which we were accused by the sheikhs most of them at least, of being secular atheists who do not want the country to succeed. We then reached the referendum for some amendments of the old constitution, that was a turning point as the SCAF used the sheikhs to pass this referendum and in the majority of mosques Imams were saying that those who will reject referendum will go to hell (as if there is evidence for its existence). We ended up with a messed up road map for the revolution, it was failed attempt for the SCAF to stay in power. Later the Islamists understood the game being played by the SCAF and turn against them. It was late for all except for the Islamists, as they always have, they obediently heard.
It was during this time, that it became clear that the hold the Imams had over the minds of the people will take us to the dark ages which now is I am sure is inevitable.
Now we are having a constitution being written, with utter disrespect to freedom and yeah based on sharia. Some of the people writing the constitution want to pass laws of legalizing marriage of 9-year-old girls and not allowing foreign languages in schools.
So much for working for freedom and liberty, the people running the country now are like Republicans without the secular constitution to save the rest from stupidity ignorance and backwardness.
Our current elected a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, stood in Tahrir Square after being elected for a four-year term and promised the people many good things, but also "weird" things like working on freeing a terrorist like Omar Abdul Rahman from prison in USA.
While for what happened to the revolution, all I can say is that the corrupt system that people died for is still alive and it just grew a beard.
A few days ago an atheist (ex-Christian) running a facebook page for Egyptian Atheist was "discovered" in his neighborhood and a mob gathered around his house and when his mother called the police for protection he was arrested for insulting the prophet on his page. Here is a link to about him he is Alber Saber as of today his mother does not know where he is detained (www.facebook.com/FreeAlberSaber).
I do not hate religion for I don't care about it, and I think it might be important for the less fortunate people in life who have nothing to live for other than an afterlife. Although, I know lots of very poor atheists and non religious people who choose reason over superstition. But to have religion in politics is something that must never be allowed, for even if a god(s) exists nobody knows what he/she/it wants.

Fayette's long-running 2.9-mill operational levy hasn't changed since 1968, and it's not going to change for the next five years, either.
Council members voted 4-1 Thursday, with council Gerry Gonzales absent, to seek a five-year renewal of the levy. The option to replace the levy would have increased revenue by updating the levy to current property values.
Council will also seek a renewal of the 2.0-mill park levy.
Village administrator Tom Spiess told councilors of the need for replacement, noting the vast increases of costs for goods and services since 1968. To top it off, he received a note from Toledo Edison that day informing him of an impending end to discounted rates for water and sewer plants.
That communication arrived just as council members struggle to create a balanced budget.
Councilor Ruth Marlatt pushed for replacement.
"Let the voters decide if they can handle it," she said.
If the measure is turned down in May, it could be placed back on the November ballot as a renewal measure.
Craig Rower noted the increase in sewer rates ahead due to the separation project and said he can't justify raising taxes for village residents.
Paul Shaffer said eventually people won't be able to afford to live in Fayette, nor will anyone want to move to the community.
"At what point are we going to tax people out of town?" Rower asked.
Marlatt responded to a comment about fears of the group becoming a tax-and-spend council by noting the cuts already taken. The village has a part-time police chief, is considering a part-time administrator, and is cutting back on workers' hours.
"And you think we're going to tax and spend?"
Fiscal officer Lisa Zuver told council that most property tax revenue goes into the general fund and noted the village is already $6,000 behind in revenue.
"It's not like we're trying to increase the millage," Ken Delphous said. "We're just trying to put it into today's dollars."
He said the money is needed to provide basic services and the village is just squeaking by on a 1968 level of funding.
Replacing the operating levy would increase funding from $19,606 to $43,948, based on information provided by county auditor Nancy Yackee. The owner of a $75,000 home would pay $61 more a year.
Marlatt was the only council member to oppose renewing the operating levy. Council voted unanimously to seek renewal of the park levy.
A request to advance $4,000 to the park board was also turned down. Rower, Shaffer and Mike Maginn opposed the request, stating frustration that board members failed to organize any fund raisers in the past year.
"Provide for yourself before you ask someone for help," Rower said. "Not a single fund raiser. Nothing was done."

Pens aim to bounce back in Game 2 vs. Bruins
The top-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins will try to rebound from a poor showing in the opener of the Eastern Conference finals when they host the Boston Bruins in Monday's Game 2 at CONSOL Energy Center.
The fourth-seeded Bruins posted a 3-0 victory in Game 1 on Saturday to take the early lead in this best-of-seven set. David Krejci scored a pair of goals and Tuukka Rask stopped all 29 shots he faced for his first career playoff shutout.
Boston now will try to take a 2-0 edge before the series shifts to TD Garden for Games 3 and 4 on Wednesday and Friday, respectively.
Nathan Horton added a goal and the primary assist on Krejci's two markers for the Bruins, who produced the franchise's first postseason whitewash on the road since a 4-0 result in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals at Vancouver in 2011.
"This certainly wasn't easy, because they still had a lot of chances; we were just able to keep them off the scoreboard," Rask said.
Tomas Vokoun suffered the loss despite making 27 saves for the Penguins, who rolled into the semifinal round thanks to a five-game decision over the Ottawa Senators.
Pittsburgh, which hadn't been held scoreless in any contest since February of 2012, will try to even the score tonight on home ice, where the Pens are 5-2 in this year's playoffs.
After outshooting Boston by a 12-7 margin in the first period only to see the Bruins take a 1-0 lead into the intermission, the visitors assumed a 2-0 edge just after four minutes elapsed in the third period.
Krejci managed to squeeze off a shot from the right side that deflected into the air off Vokoun's glove, and he outmuscled a Pens defender to poke in his own rebound from atop the crease once the disc settled onto the ice.
"That's just how I play. I don't know. I can't explain it," Krejci said.
Krejci is leading all players with 19 points (7G, 12A) in this postseason and his seven goals ties him for second in the league along with Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby and Pascal Dupuis.
Boston made it a three-goal spread at 7:51 of the second period, when Horton snapped home a Gregory Campbell rebound from a sharp angle on the left wing. Vokoun made the initial pad stop but the puck sped directly to the goal scorer for the easy put back.
Vokoun, who took over for an ineffective Marc-Andre Fleury in the midst of Pittsburgh's first-round series against the New York Islanders, fell to 6-2 this postseason. His goals against average also jumped from 1.85 to 1.98.
"It's just one game," Vokoun said. "It's a best-of-seven series. We're going to regroup."
Crosby was held without a point for just third time in 11 playoff games this spring, but he was able to draw some positives from Game 1.
"We played with a lot of speed and generated a lot. I think we're pretty confident if we play that same way the pucks will go in for us," Crosby admitted. "We hit the post and had some pretty good chances. We had some bounces and unfortunately they didn't go our way."
Boston's victory snapped an eight-game playoff losing skid to Pittsburgh, which dated back to a 4-1 loss in Game 3 of the Wales Conference finals on May 5, 1991. The Penguins won four straight in that series to erase an 0-2 deficit and then swept the Bruins in four straight in 1992, the clubs' last postseason matchup.
The Bruins' win also put the brakes on a five-game skid in the Steel City during the playoffs, dating back to an 8-3 win on April 13, 1980.
Boston is 4-2 on the road in these playoffs.
