With death rates from cancer have remained largely unchanged over the past 60 years, a physicist is trying to shed more light on the disease with a very different theory of its origin that traces cancer back to the dawn of multicellularity more than a billion years ago.</p> <p>In this month's special issue of <em>Physics World</em> devoted to the "physics of cancer," Paul Davies, principal investigator at Arizona State University's Center for Convergence of Physical Sciences and Cancer Biology, explains his radical new theory.</p> <p>Davies was brought in to lead the centre in 2009 having almost no experience in cancer research whatsoever. With a background in theoretical physics and cosmology, he was employed to bring fresh, unbiased eyes to the underlying principles of the disease.</p> <p>He has since raised questions that are rarely asked by oncologists: thinking about why cancer exists at all and what place it holds in the grand story of life on Earth.</p> <p>His new theory, drawn together with Charles Lineweaver of the Australian National University, suggests that cancer is a throwback to an ancient genetic "sub-routine" where the mechanisms that usually instruct cells when to multiply and die malfunctions, thus forcing the cells to revert back to a default option that was programmed into their ancestors long ago.</p> <p>"To use a computer analogy, cancer is like Windows defaulting to 'safe mode' after suffering an insult of some sort," Davies writes.</p> <p>The result of this malfunction is the start of a cascade of events that we identify as cancer -- a runaway proliferation of cells that form a tumour, which eventually becomes mobile itself, spreading to other parts of the body and invading and colonizing.</p> <p>Orthodox explanations suppose that cancer results from an accumulation of random genetic mutations, with the cancer starting from scratch each time it manifests; however, Davies and Lineweaver believe it is caused by a set of genes that have been passed on from our very early ancestors and are "switched on" in the very early stages of an organism's life as cells differentiate into specialist forms.</p> <p>The pair suggests that the genes that are involved in the early development of the embryo -- and that are silenced, or switched off, thereafter -- become inappropriately reactivated in the adult as a result of some sort of trigger or damage, such as chemicals, radiation or inflammation.</p> <p>"Very roughly, the earlier the embryonic stage, the more basic and ancient will be the genes guiding development, and the more carefully conserved and widely distributed they will be among species," Davies writes.</p> <p>Several research teams around the world are currently providing experimental evidence that shows the similarities between the expression of genes in a tumour and an embryo, adding weight to Davies and Lineweaver's theory.</p> <p>Davies makes it clear that radical new thinking is needed; however, just like ageing, he states that cancer cannot generally be cured but can be mitigated, which we can only do when we better understand the disease, and its place in the "great sweep of evolutionary history."</p><p>Source: <a href="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/p6KiNvaRN-s/130630225413.htm">http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/p6KiNvaRN-s/130630225413.htm</a></p><p><a href="http://childrensfarmpark.co.uk/guestbook/addentry.php">Nintendo Direct</a> <a href="http://www.abnehmenundmeer.de/gbaum/gb.php?gb_task=new_entry&range=261?PHPSESSID=36a34d5ecee6ade0f1614ba892b2f35d?">pirate bay</a> <a href="http://w00e00f2.dd17516.kasserver.com/gb/gb.php?gb_task=new_entry&range=26?PHPSESSID=84b7f9f4acfec03cdd1d635c1ee70595?">Pretty Little Liars</a> <a href="http://playak.info/index.php?title=Modern_diplomacy&action=submit">weather radar</a> <a href="http://wikiparaguay.org/index.php?title=Modern_global_politics">Merion Golf Club</a> <a href="http://wiki.patriciopdc.com/index.php?title=Modern_political_blog">This Is the End</a> <a href="http://opiskelu.blanko.fi/index.php?title=Modern_politics&action=submit">US Open 2013</a> </p>friaralane00http://www.blogger.com/profile/10693700302740867915noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164000372582823752.post-3306932651877810962013-06-30T18:04:00.001-07:002013-06-30T18:04:07.249-07:00All the Hidden Chemicals That Are Lurking In Your Coffee<p class="has-media media-640"><span class="flex-video widescreen"><iframe mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" webkitAllowFullScreen="webkitAllowFullScreen" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" class="youtube" height="360" width="640" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lSIF3A7C78c?wmode=transparent&rel=0&autohide=1&showinfo=0" id="youtube-lSIF3A7C78c"></iframe></span></p><p class="first-text"> Caffeine.

What <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372415980962_1">Dzhokhar Tsarnaev</span> needed to learn to make explosives with a pressure cooker was at his fingertips in jihadist files on the Internet, according to a federal <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372415980962_6">indictment</span> accusing him of carrying out the bombings at the Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured dozens more.</p> <p>Investigators have been trying to determine whether Tsarnaev's older brother, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372415980962_4">Tamerlan</span>, who was killed while the two were on the run after the bombings, was influenced or trained by Islamic militants during a trip overseas. But the indictment released Thursday against 19-year-old <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372415980962_5">Dzhokhar</span> makes no mention of any overseas influence.</p> <p>Before the attack, according to the indictment, he downloaded the summer 2010 issue of Inspire, an online English-language magazine published by al-Qaida. The issue detailed how to make bombs from pressure cookers, explosive powder extracted from fireworks and lethal shrapnel.</p> <p>He also downloaded extremist Muslim literature, including "Defense of the Muslim Lands, the First Obligation After Imam," which advocates "violence designed to terrorize the perceived enemies of Islam," the indictment said. The article was written by the late Abdullah Azzam, whose legacy has inspired terrorist attacks in the Middle East.</p> <p>Another tract downloaded ? titled "The Slicing Sword, Against the One Who Forms Allegiances With the Disbelievers and Takes Them as Supporters Instead of Allah, His Messenger and the Believers" ? included a foreword by Anwar al-Awlaki, an American propagandist for al-Qaida who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2011.</p> <p>The 30-count indictment provides one of the most detailed public explanations to date of the brothers' alleged motive ? Islamic extremism ? and the role the Internet may have played in influencing them.</p> <p>"<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372415980962_2">Tamerlan Tsarnaev</span>'s justice will be in the next world, but for his brother, accountability will begin right here in the district of Massachusetts," Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley, whose jurisdiction includes Boston, said at a news conference with federal prosecutors on Thursday.</p> <p>The indictment contains the bombing charges, punishable by the death penalty, that were brought in April against Tsarnaev, including use of a weapon of mass destruction to kill. It also contains many new charges covering the slaying of an MIT police officer and the carjacking of a motorist during the getaway attempt that left Tamerlan Tsarnaev dead.</p> <p>U.S. <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372415980962_7">Attorney Carmen Ortiz</span> of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372415980962_8">Massachusetts</span> said Attorney General Eric Holder will decide whether to pursue the death penalty against Tsarnaev, who will be arraigned on July 10.</p> <p>Three people were killed and more than 260 wounded by the two pressure-cooker bombs that went off near the finish line of the marathon on April 15.</p> <p>Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured four days later, hiding in a boat parked in a backyard in Watertown, Mass.</p> <p>According to the indictment, he scrawled messages on the inside of the vessel that said, among other things, "The U.S. Government is killing our innocent civilians," ''I can't stand to see such evil go unpunished," and "We Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all."</p> <p>The Tsarnaev brothers had roots in the turbulent Russian regions of Dagestan and Chechnya, which have become recruiting grounds for Muslim extremists. They had been living in the U.S. about a decade.</p> <p>There was no mention in the indictment of any larger conspiracy beyond the brothers, and no reference to any direct overseas contacts with extremists. Instead, the indictment suggests the Internet played an important role in the suspects' radicalization.</p> <p>Tamerlan Tsarnaev spent six months in Dagestan last year, and investigators traveled to the Russian province to talk to the men's parents and try to determine whether he was influenced or trained by local Islamic militants.</p> <p>Christina DiIorio-Sterling, a spokeswoman for Ortiz, declined to comment on why the indictment did not mention whether authorities believe the elder Tsarnaev received any training during his stay in Russia.</p> <p>The indictment assembled and confirmed details of the case that have been widely reported over the past two months, and added new pieces of information.</p> <p>For example, it corroborated reports that Tamerlan Tsarnaev bought 48 mortar shells from a Seabrook, N.H., fireworks store.

This citizen science app is a fun, educational, and challenging tool to help you identify, understand, and appreciate the wide variety of clouds that float above our world. </p> <p>The app's concept is simple: it lets you photograph clouds in the sky, identify them with the aid of the app's "cloud library" or its step-by-step identifier, upload them to your collection of cloud photos, and wait for the app's volunteer staff to verify (or nix) your identifications. You earn stars and badges for cloud identifications (and can compete with other cloud spotters in doing so), and occasionally get your images displayed in the app's gallery for others to see. You might even help a new cloud type gain official recognition. </p> <p>CloudSpotter, optimized for the iPhone 5, is compatible with iPhones starting with the 3GS, iPads, and iPods touch, provided that they run iOS 6.0. I tested it on an iPhone 5, as its camera is better than that of my iPad 2, the phone is far easier to point up at the sky and snap a picture, and it's generally connected to the Internet when I'm outside. I tried accessing the app with my iPad; as content is scaled for the iPhone, the text suffers some degradation when enlarged to iPad size, though photos were easier to see on the large screen. </p> <p><b>The War on Blue-Sky Thinking</b><br /> CloudSpotter is the brainchild of the Cloud Appreciation Society, an organization founded in 2005 to foster understanding and appreciation of clouds. The society's website lets its 32,000 members share their cloud-related observations, questions, and photos. From the society's manifesto: "We believe that clouds are unjustly maligned and that life would be immeasurably poorer without them?.We pledge to fight 'blue-sky thinking' wherever we find it. Life would be dull if we had to look up at cloudless monotony day after day." </p> <p>The first time you open the app, you're treated to a short, informative, and unabashedly cutesy (as in clouds and raindrops with faces) video showing how clouds form out of water vapor and eventually return it as rain. The app is suitable for anyone with a desire to learn about clouds, and for the most part the text is more descriptive than technical.</p> <p><b>CloudSpotter Basics</b><br /> CloudSpotter works only in portrait mode. At the top of the screen is a headline letting you know what section you're in. Most of the screen area displays content, which varies depending on which section you're in, and along the bottom are five tabs, one for each section. The first tab is the Cloud Library, which depicts 40 different cloud types, split into 3 sections: "The Ten Main Cloud Types" (cumulus, stratus, nimbostratus, cirrus, etc.); Other Cloud Types (everything from contrails and fog to tuba (funnel cloud) and some exotic varieties (that can earn you 5 stars for spotting) including noctilucent, Kelvin-Helmholtz?which looks like the crests of ocean waves?and the dark and dramatic-looking asperatus. </p> <p>Each cloud type is depicted with a thumbnail, crossed by a blue ribbon showing the number of stars (from 1 to 5) that collecting it is worth. Clicking on the thumbnail enlarges the image and lets you scroll through up to about 7 additional images. It also provides descriptive text; identifies the cloud type's altitude (high, mid, low, ground, multiple, or varied); whether or not it's associated with precipitation; cloud types that can be mistaken for it; and cloud types often seen in conjunction with it. </p> <p>The descriptive text is written for a general audience, providing details of the cloud's appearance, characteristics, and formation. It escapes being dry by maintaining a light, conversational tone: "If you've never spotted a Cumulus cloud, then you ought to get out more." </p> <p><b>In Search of Unknown Clouds</b><br /> Back to asperatus: it is not officially recognized as a cloud variety, but cloud spotters are looking to change that. There hasn't been a new addition to the International Cloud Atlas, published by the World Meteorological Organization, since Cirrus inoculus was added in 1951, but in 2009 the founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society proposed that asperatus (whose name is Latin for rough, because of its resemblance to a rough, turbulent sea) be considered as a new cloud variety. The idea has gained the support of some meteorologists, including Great Britain's Royal Meteorological Society. </p> <p>To gain official recognition from the World Meteorological Organization, however, requires understanding of the cloud's characteristics as well as the conditions under which it forms, and cloud spotters worldwide have contributed images and videos of asperatus to that end. By photographing this rare phenomenon, users of the CloudSpotter app can not only earn 5 stars and a badge, they're participating in useful research that could lead to the official recognition of a whole new variety of cloud. </p> <ziffshop id="39355" readability="11.4912718204"><p>Observations from CloudSpotter users will also be put to good scientific use in helping to calibrate NASA's Ceres (Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System) instruments on three climate satellites that measure the amount of sunlight that is reflected back into space from the Earth. This information is used to calculate the surface temperature, but the amount and type of cloud cover?some of which, clouds over snow for instance, can be hard to discern from space?also affects the temperature. By using a worldwide database of sightings of different types of clouds from the app, scientists should be able to reduce errors in their temperature observations, and better understand the complex and crucial role that clouds play in regulating global temperatures. </p> <p><b>Continue Reading: Cloud Collecting</b></p> </ziffshop><p>Source: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ziffdavis/pcmag/~3/9xXBgEK_LDM/0,2817,2420982,00.asp">http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ziffdavis/pcmag/~3/9xXBgEK_LDM/0,2817,2420982,00.asp</a></p><p><a href="http://www.kunstcafe-silvia.at">terrell owens</a> <a href="http://www.cupcakebrown.com/guestbook_beta/guestbook.php">neil armstrong</a> <a href="http://www.blackhatworld.com">little league world series</a> <a href="http://darkatzu.kilu.de/gb/gb.php?gb_task=new_entry&range=21?range=21&PHPSESSID=b3ca818ace18bf989cfbc79cd685c72d?range=21?range=21&PHPSESSID=bfc1d7d6aba791fbad8b6f95ceec8eb0">us open tennis</a> <a href="http://www.gurp.de/cms/viewpage.php?page_id=3">us open tennis</a> <a href="http://www.alksstal.org/news.php">Empire State Building shooting</a> <a href="http://rcparkplatz.rc.funpic.de/gaestebuch/guestbook/guestbook.php">Republican National Convention</a> </p>friaralane00http://www.blogger.com/profile/10693700302740867915noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164000372582823752.post-7413546095395075212013-06-27T03:53:00.001-07:002013-06-27T03:53:06.696-07:00Wow These Beautiful Animation Videos Are Ads for...

Despite barely beating a midnight deadline, hundreds of jeering protesters helped stop Texas lawmakers from passing one of the toughest abortion measures in the country.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">As the protesters raised the noise to deafening levels in the Texas Senate chamber late Tuesday, Republicans scrambled to gather their colleagues at the podium for a stroke-of-midnight vote.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">"Get them out!" Sen. Donna Campbell shouted to a security guard, pointing to the thundering crowd in the gallery overhead that had already been screaming for more than 10 minutes.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">"Time is running out," Campbell pleaded. "I want them out of here!"</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">It didn't work. The noise never stopped and despite barely beating the midnight end-of-session deadline with a vote to pass the bill, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said the chaos in the chamber prevented him from formally signing it before the deadline passed, effectively killing it.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">Dewhurst denounced the protesters as an "unruly mob." Democrats who urged them on called the outburst democracy in action.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">In either point of view, a raucous crowd of chanting, singing, shouting demonstrators effectively took over the Texas Capitol and blocked a bill that abortion rights groups warned would close most abortion clinics in the state.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">"They were asking for their voices to be heard," said Sen. Wendy Davis of Fort Worth, who spent nearly 11 hours trying to filibuster the bill before the outburst. "The results speak for themselves."</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">The final outcome took several hours to sort out.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">Initially, Republicans insisted the vote started before the midnight deadline and passed the bill that Democrats spent the day trying to kill. But after official computer records and printouts of the voting record showed the vote took place Wednesday, and then were changed to read Tuesday, senators retreated into a private meeting to reach a conclusion.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">At 3 a.m., Dewhurst emerged from the meeting still insisting the 19-10 vote was in time, but said, "with all the ruckus and noise going on, I couldn't sign the bill" and declared it dead.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">He denounced the more than 400 protesters who staged what they called "a people's filibuster" from 11:45 p.m. to well past midnight. He denied mishandling the debate.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">"I didn't lose control (of the chamber). We had an unruly mob," Dewhurst said. He even hinted that Gov. Rick Perry may immediately call another 30-day special session, adding: "It's over. It's been fun. But see you soon."</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">Many of the protesters had flocked to the normally quiet Capitol to support Davis, who gained national attention and a mention from President Barack Obama's campaign Twitter account. Her Twitter following went from 1,200 in the morning to more than 20,000 by Tuesday night.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">"My back hurts. I don't have a lot of words left," Davis said when it was over and she was showered with cheers by activists who stayed at the Capitol to see her. "It shows the determination and spirit of Texas women."</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">Davis' mission was cut short but her effort ultimately helped Democrats earn a rare victory in a Legislature dominated by Republicans for more than a decade.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">"It's a bad bill," said Sen. Kirk Watson of Austin, leader of the Senate Democrats.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">The bill would ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy and force many clinics that perform the procedure to upgrade their facilities and be classified as ambulatory surgical centers. Also, doctors would be required to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles ? a tall order in rural communities.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">If signed into law, the measures would have closed almost every abortion clinic in Texas, a state 773 miles wide and 790 miles long with 26 million people. A woman living along the Mexico border or in West Texas would have to drive hundreds of miles to obtain an abortion if the law passed. The law's provision that abortions be performed at surgical centers means only five of Texas' 42 abortion clinics are currently designated to remain in operation.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">Republicans and anti-abortion groups insisted their goal was to improve women's health care, but also acknowledged wanting clinics to close.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">"If this passes, abortion would be virtually banned in the state of Texas, and many women could be forced to resort to dangerous and unsafe measures," said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund and daughter of the late former Texas governor Ann Richards.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">The showdown came after Davis had slogged her way through about 11 hours of speaking while Senate Republicans ? and several House members ? watched and listened for any slipup that would allow them to end the filibuster and call a vote.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">Democrats chose Davis, of Fort Worth, to lead the effort because of her background; she had her first child as a teenager and went on to graduate from Harvard Law School.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">Rules stipulated she remain standing, not lean on her desk or take any breaks ? even for meals or to use the bathroom. But she also was required to stay on topic, and Republicans pointed out a mistake and later protested again when another lawmaker helped her with a back brace.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">Lawmakers can vote to end a filibuster after three sustained points of order. As tension mounted over Davis' speech and the dwindling clock, Campbell, a first-term lawmaker from New Braunfels, made the call on the third violation, sparking nearly two hours of debate on how to handle it.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">After much back and forth and senators shouting over each other, the Republican majority forced a vote to end the filibuster minutes before midnight, sparking the raucous response from protesters.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">Senate security and several Department of Public Safety state troopers tried to quiet the crowd but were simply outnumbered and had no hope of stopping the outburst.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, blamed the confusion surrounding the final vote on the demonstrators and Democratic senators who urged them on.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">"Had that not happened, everyone would have known," what was happening, Patrick said.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">Standing next to him was Sen. Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa, a Democrat.</p><p class="ap_para ap_para-d57851005a80479aaeeb90a12c70b9f6 entry-content">"This is democracy," Hinojosa said.

A life without feelings -- unimaginable. Although emotions are so important, philosophers are still discussing what they actually are. Prof. Dr. Albert Newen and Dr. Luca Barlassina of the Institute of Philosophy II at the Ruhr-Universit?t Bochum have drawn up a new theory. According to this, emotions are not just special cases of perception or thought but a separate kind of mental state which arises through the integration of feelings of bodily processes and cognitive contents.</p> <p>They describe the model in the journal <em>Philosophy and Phenomenological Research.</em></p> <p><strong>Earlier theories of emotion</strong></p> <p>Around the turn of the 20th Century, the psychologists William James and Karl Lange proposed that emotions are nothing other than perceptions of bodily states. According to the James-Lange theory, we do not tremble because we are scared, but rather we are scared because we tremble. "This theory does not, however, consider the cognitive content of many emotions," says Albert Newen. If a student is anxious about an exam, then he is experiencing this anxiety because he thinks, for example, that the exam is important and that he will have a blackout. The so-called "cognitive theory of emotions" therefore says that emotions are essentially an assessment of the situation based on reason: this dog is dangerous because he is baring his teeth. "This theory is also unsatisfactory," says Newen, "because it forgets the feelings as a central component of the emotion." A person can realistically judge that a dog is dangerous and at the same time have no fear because he is an expert in handling dangerous dogs. So the cognitive assessment does not necessarily determine the emotion.</p> <p><strong>Integrative embodiment theory of emotions</strong></p> <p>Bochum's philosophers call their new model the "integrative embodiment theory of emotions." The emotional level is -- as postulated by William James -- the central starting point. An emotion only comes into existence, however, when the perception of bodily states is integrated with other aspects. The brain has to combine at least two components here: the perception of our own bodily states in a given situation, for example trembling, and the intentional object, such as the dog, which triggers the fear. Moreover, in "cognitive" emotions, typical thought content can also play a role, for example, with regard to a bull terrier: "bull terriers are particularly strong and dangerous." The result is a separate kind of mental state, namely an emotion that we conceive as a complex pattern of distinctive characteristics.</p> <p><strong>Emotions for things that do not even exist</strong></p> <p>According to Newen and Barlassina, the new theory is also superior to Jesse Prinz's most sophisticated theory of emotions so far, because this does not take into account that an emotion can also be directed at an object that is not present or does not even exist. A case study: Karl goes with his girlfriend Antje to a new bar. Because Karl has already been served by the barkeeper Fritz, Antje waits alone at the bar. Karl hears that she is insulted, but does not see by whom. He assumes it is Fritz. In the meantime, however, Fritz has left the room and John, an employee, is at the bar. He passes the insult and then leaves immediately. When Karl comes to the bar to vent his anger at the insult, Fritz is back. Karl is angry with Fritz although the cause of his bodily states associated with the feeling of anger was the utterance by John. The cause, John, and the object of the anger, namely Fritz, do not coincide. The object of anger is also known as the intentional object of anger, because it does not have to exist. People can even experience emotions about things that aren't real, for example, fear of vampires. While all feeling theories of emotion overlook the intentional object as an essential part of the emotion, the cognitive theories do tend to forget the feeling dimension of the emotion. Only the integrative embodiment theory takes all these components into account as constitutive of the emotion.</p><p>Source: <a href="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/most_popular/~3/8d45QfySl4k/130625073819.htm">http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/most_popular/~3/8d45QfySl4k/130625073819.htm</a></p><p><a href="http://markingnews.saanj.net/story.php?title=MASLA-total">fandango</a> <a href="https://www.box.com/s/t9dtg3gcpbokfam8qbre">google play</a> <a href="http://nickcoat04.skyrock.com/3168133530-Total.html">Christmas Story</a> <a href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/E0035F5D/FEE731C7/Total?share=1">after christmas sales</a> <a href="http://www.jeteye.com/jetpak/3cace0a8-d1ad-4bf6-abbe-803649e20c13/">case mccoy</a> <a href="https://kippt.com/repair09dario/list/clips/14796328">case mccoy</a> <a href="http://www.webshare.co/url/?i=490662&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcardepo.net%2Findex.php%3Froute%3Dproduct%2Fcategory%26amp%3Bpath%3D25">UFC 155</a> </p>friaralane00http://www.blogger.com/profile/10693700302740867915noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164000372582823752.post-70817568943733318072013-06-25T18:20:00.001-07:002013-06-25T18:20:07.026-07:00Like Google Voice But Live Outside The US?

Plus, Google Voice is only available in the US.

(AP) ? The former chart-topping rap star known as "<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372113301445_3">Fat Joe</span>" was sentenced to four months in prison Monday over his earlier admission that he failed to file <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372113301445_2">federal income taxes</span> for two years.</p> <p>The platinum-selling artist, whose real name is <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372113301445_1">Joseph Cartagena</span>, apologized to his family and supporters during his sentencing Monday in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372113301445_6">federal court</span> in Newark, N.J.</p> <p>The 42-year-old resident of Miami Beach, Fla., and Tenafly, N.J., pleaded guilty in December to failing to pay taxes on more than $1 million of income in 2007 and in 2008.</p> <p>U.S. Magistrate <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372113301445_8">Cathy Waldor</span> said she took into account for sentencing the government's allegation that Cartagena failed to pay taxes on some $3 million in income for the years 2007 through 2010. Federal prosecutors said the total tax loss to the government for those four years was $718,038.</p> <p>The case was prosecuted in New Jersey because some of the companies he earns money from; including his Somerville, N.J.-based <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372113301445_4">Terror Squad Production Inc.</span>, and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372113301445_5">Miramar Music Touring Inc.</span>, are incorporated in the state. He also earned income from FJTS Corp., during the time in question.</p> <p>In a courtroom packed with <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372113301445_7">family members</span> and supporters, Cartagena looked fit and considerably slimmer than the size that had earned him his rap moniker. He has been very public about his efforts to shed weight after fellow rap stars died from obesity-related issues, and has spoken to schoolchildren, in New Jersey and elsewhere about the importance of health and fitness.</p> <p>Apologizing to the court and his family and supporters, Cartagena spoke of growing up in a housing project in the Bronx in New York City surrounded by guns, drugs and "violence all around."</p> <p>"I did everything I could to achieve what I could, to move my family; I tried to stay positive, focus on the positive, and get myself out," he said. He spoke of how many family members he supported and how he tried to give back to his community.</p> <p>"I guess I'm surprised, caused I worked so hard to not end up in court, that I'm here," he said. "This is the last place I thought I would be."</p> <p>The rapper once topped the Billboard 100 chart with hits like the duet "What's Luv" with the R&B singer Ashanti. He said he had recently signed a record deal in hopes of making money to pay back his arrears.</p> <p>Defense Attorney Jeffrey Lichtman said outside federal court that Cartagena had liquidated his retirement account to start paying the money back.</p> <p>In addition to the prison term, Cartagena was sentenced to one year of supervised release and fined $15,000. He must report to prison by Aug. 26.</p> <p>The federal courthouse in Newark has recently been the setting for several tax cases involving well-known musicians.</p> <p>The Grammy-winning singer Lauryn Hill was sentenced in May to three months in prison for failing to pay about $1 million in taxes over the past decade. Two sons of the founders of the Sugar Hill Records hip-hop recording label were sentenced in May to probation for failing to file taxes.</p> <p>___</p> <p>Follow Samantha Henry at http://www.twitter.com/SamanthaHenry.</p><p>Source: <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/rapper-fat-joe-sentenced-nj-tax-case-194049383.html">http://news.yahoo.com/rapper-fat-joe-sentenced-nj-tax-case-194049383.html</a></p><p><a href="http://www.equitrekkingtravel.com/index.php/member/49077/">blackhawks</a> <a href="http://www.servomagazine.com/index.php/member/145864/">supreme court</a> <a href="http://www.drnathans.com/index.php/member/132842/">dexter</a> <a href="http://www.c3richmond.org/index.php/member/5033/">dexter</a> <a href="http://www.rheinmain-hundeforum.de/profile.php?userid=3842">george zimmerman</a> <a href="http://maierplasticsurgery.com/index.php/member/56292/">Armie Hammer</a> <a href="http://www.empowersvs.co.uk/index.php/member/81309/">Bobby Blue Bland</a> </p>friaralane00http://www.blogger.com/profile/10693700302740867915noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164000372582823752.post-59202655898392433742013-06-24T22:29:00.001-07:002013-06-24T22:29:06.545-07:00Legendary blues singer Bobby Bland dies at 83: media reports<!-- google_ad_section_start --> <p class="first">(Reuters) - Bobby "Blue" Bland, a pioneer of the modern soul-blues sound, died on Sunday, according to <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1372049666444_4">Memphis media reports</span>.

More than 100,000 of the country's roughly 400,000 foster kids are looking for adoptive families.</p> <p>The website, AdoptUSKids.org, gives prospective parents background information and a photo of each child. Once a parent indicates an interest, the website connects them with the child's caseworker.</p> <p>Actor Bruce Willis was the face of the campaign when President George W. Bush launched it in 2002.</p> <p>___</p> <p>Online: http://www.adoptuskids.org/</p> <p>"; var coords = [-5, -72]; // display fb-bubble FloatingPrompt.embed(this, html, undefined, 'top', {fp_intersects:1, timeout_remove:2000,ignore_arrow: true, width:236, add_xy:coords, class_name: 'clear-overlay'}); }); </p><p>Source: <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/22/adoptusekids-200000-kids-adopted_n_3481754.html">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/22/adoptusekids-200000-kids-adopted_n_3481754.html</a></p><p><a href="http://femipedia.es/index.php?title=Black_Creepers">nit</a> <a href="http://wikiparaguay.org/index.php?title=Underground_Creepers_Shoes">first day of spring</a> <a href="http://taxi82bike.wordpressy.pl/?p=4">Club Penguin</a> <a href="http://soap04dario.mywapblog.com/creatine-loading-stage.xhtml">Espn Bracket</a> <a href="http://quizilla.teennick.com/user/milo16otter/journal/2570532/creatine-loading-phase/">First Day Of Spring 2013</a> <a href="http://independent.academia.edu/AlexHentz/Posts/713147/p-Wh-t--Creatine-Loading--nd---t-B-tt-r-W--t-Setup-Muscular-tissue---p--p-If--u-r----r--u-muscle-bui">Bates Motel</a> <a href="http://www.pusha.se/creatine-loading-phase">Michelle Shocked</a> </p>friaralane00http://www.blogger.com/profile/10693700302740867915noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164000372582823752.post-18298227373483782562013-06-22T17:02:00.001-07:002013-06-22T17:02:06.591-07:00FAA investigating jets' close call over NYC<p class="first">NEW YORK (AP) ? The <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1371835073690_3">Federal Aviation Administration</span> is investigating why two airplanes came too close to each other over New York City last week.</p> <p>A <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1371835073690_1">Delta Air Lines</span> Boeing 747 arriving at <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1371835073690_2">John F. Kennedy International Airport</span> came close to a <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1371835073690_7">Shuttle America Embraer</span> E170 departing from <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1371835073690_5">LaGuardia Airport</span> at around 2:40 p.m. on June 13, the FAA said in a statement Friday.</p> <p>The planes were about a half-mile apart horizontally and 200 feet vertically, the FAA said. The required separation is 3 miles horizontally or a thousand feet vertically.</p> <p>The FAA said the aircraft were "turning away from each other at the point where they lost the required separation." Both aircraft landed safely.</p> <p>Delta declined to give details, including the number of passengers on board, pending the FAA investigation. The Shuttle America jet was operating as a <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1371835073690_6">Delta Connection</span> flight and is equipped for 69 people. The Delta 747 can hold 376 passengers.</p> <p><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1371835073690_4">Jason Rabinowitz</span>, editor of the aviation news website NYC Aviation, reviewed air traffic control audio and radar tracking data and concluded the pilots and controllers acted professionally in an unusual sets of circumstances brought on by strong winds.</p> <p>"The traffic controllers did a very good job," he told The Associated Press, noting that traffic is extremely heavy at the two airports. "It was handled very well. ... They did take immediate action to prevent anything from happening in very unusual circumstances."</p> <p>The close call happened because the Delta jet and an American Airways flight preparing to land on a parallel runway broke off their approaches to JFK almost simultaneously, he said.</p> <p>The American flight was instructed by the control tower to make a right turn and attempt another landing. When the Delta pilot seconds later said he needed to circle, the tower told him to make a left, Rabinowitz said.</p> <p>That left turn put the Delta jet closer to departing traffic from LaGuardia. The Delta pilot then turned right hard, but 747s aren't "the most nimble aircraft in the sky," Rabinowitz wrote, and that allowed the Delta and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1371835073690_8">Shuttle America</span> airplanes to wind up too close to each other.</p> <p>Rabinowitz said there was a moment the two aircraft were at nearly the same altitude and headed for each other, but the controllers and both pilots were aware of the conflicting traffic and both jets were turning away from each other.</p> <p>The Delta flight originated in Narita, Japan; the Shuttle America was heading for Jacksonville, Fla.</p> <p>Rabinowitz said he doubted passengers were aware of the situation.</p><p>Source: <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/faa-investigating-jets-close-call-over-nyc-171640270.html">http://news.yahoo.com/faa-investigating-jets-close-call-over-nyc-171640270.html</a></p><p><a href="http://wikiparaguay.org/index.php?title=Bamboo_heels">shark tank</a> <a href="http://tacowiki.net/bamboo_sandals">john wall</a> <a href="http://www.martinlechler.com/index.php5/Bamboo_brand">gordon hayward</a> <a href="http://www.hvacsimulator.net/index.php/Bamboo_shoes">gas prices</a> <a href="http://kpgp.kr/index.php/Bamboo_brand_shoes">rising stars challenge</a> <a href="http://msnpiki.msnfanatic.com/index.php?title=Bamboo_brand&action=submit">star trek 2</a> <a href="http://elacd.carnet.hr/index.php/Bamboo_brand_shoes">kathy ireland</a> </p>friaralane00http://www.blogger.com/profile/10693700302740867915noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164000372582823752.post-41526666292531160562013-06-22T03:12:00.001-07:002013-06-22T03:12:07.615-07:0093% The Sapphires<p> All Critics (125) | Top Critics (29) | Fresh (116) | Rotten (9) </p> <p> The harmonies they strike in this reality-inspired charmer are sweetly sublime. </p> <p> You could drive an Abrams tank through the film's plot holes, but you'll likely be too busy enjoying yourself to bother. </p> <p> "The Sapphires" feels like a movie you've already seen, but it's nonetheless thoroughly enjoyable, like a pop song that's no less infectious when you know every word. </p> <p> "The Sapphires" sparkles with sass and Motown soul. </p> <p> Sapphires is hardly a cinematic diamond mine. But this Commitments-style mashup of music and melodrama manages to entertain without demanding too much of its audience. </p> <p> Quite possibly the least original movie you'll see this summer -- and one of the most enjoyable. </p> <p> The mood is so charming and the music so inspiring that you continually cut it a break. </p> <p> By-the-numbers in every sense of the word, the film tracks a tried-and-true sort of triumph while featuring renditions of soul classics so bursting with energy and joy you won't care that the originality meter is leaning on empty. </p> <p> Even when it seems contrived The Sapphires is a feel-good movie in the most positive meaning of that term, thanks to the Motown music and O'Dowd's cheeky charm. Like the Four Tops, I loved every sugar pie, honey bunch moment. I can't help myself. </p> <p> Unfortunately, it has been turned into a routine and uninspiring movie, following a tired, old formula the entire way. </p> <p> A surefire crowdpleaser with all the ingredients for the type of little-movie-that-could sleeper success that Harvey Weinstein has nurtured in years and award seasons past. </p> <p> You've seen this story before, but never pulled off with so much joie de vivre. </p> <p> They can put a song across just like the Dreamgirls. What's not to like? </p> <p> Exuberant but fairly formulaic. </p> <p> Doesn't always mix its anti-prejudice message and its feel-good nostalgia with complete smoothness. But despite some ragged edges it provides a reasonably good time. </p> <p> Director Wayne Blair -- another veteran of the stage show -- finds his footing during the film's many musical numbers. </p> <p> Despite the prosaic plot and reserved approach taken by Blair, Briggs, and Thompson, it's tough to get cynical about such a warmhearted picture that strives to tell so uplifting a story. </p> <p> A movie with enough melody and camaraderie to cover up its lack of originality. </p> <p> No quotes approved yet for The Sapphires.
