Does one abused woman = 100 abused puppies

clipper's remarks: "Of course it is better to give to animal charities than not at all. Human suffering is more complicated, in every way, and helping people takes more commitment and patience. But if you choose animals over people because of a naive belief that a particular brand of human pain has not infiltrated your own community, you may want to reconsider."

America has 3,800 animal shelters, but only 1,500 for battered women. Puppies are blameless and easy to care for; people are more complicated. Allison Schrager, an economist, examines our inclination to help animals over our own species ...

Perhaps we prefer helping animals because we believe they have a greater need. People often think a battered woman is free to leave her situation, while animals are physically prevented from leaving. Humans are easier to blame for their circumstances. Because we do not grant animals the same freedoms, we also do not assign them the same level of responsibility for their situation.

Also, helping battered animals is easier than helping battered people. Men and women need more resources to get back on their feet,

it takes the same amount of resources to save a battered woman as it does 100 puppies: if the ultimate goal of charitable giving is to ease world suffering, some will argue that it makes sense to help the puppies over the woman.

Don't Underestimate Governor Palin

clipper's remarks: President George W. Bush called the pick “exciting” and said Palin “is a proven reformer who is a wise steward of taxpayer dollars and champion for accountability in government.”

Considered a rising political star by state Republican leaders, she was appointed in 2003 to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, a significant body in the energy-rich state.

While on the commission, Palin led an ethics investigation of another member, state Republican Chairman Randy Ruedrich, who was accused of conflicts of interest involving oil companies.

Not only has she always criticized what was but she had ideas as to how things should be. Rather than contending herself with sounding off she acted to make things better. Rather than joining someone else’s bandwagon she created her own and invited others to get aboard. She gets things done. She is a natural manager and leader.

The Club for Growth, which advocates lower taxes and government spending, praised Palin as a “genuine reformer” who has cut wasteful spending in her state. “At a time when many Republicans are still clinging to pork-barrel politics, Governor Palin has quickly become a leader on this issue,” the group’s president, Pat Toomey, said

She is a member of Feminists for Life, a group that works to make health-care and child-care resources available to “pregnant or parenting students,” according to the group’s Web site.

She’ll help to elevate the issue of energy independence and the need to drill, and she’ll be warmly received by the pro-family and pro-life community.

TThe "Ilulissat Manifesto" -The Merging of Bio and Nano

With research backgrounds ranging from materials engineering to molecular biophysics, the seventeen scientists issued the "Ilulissat Statement -The Merging of Bio and Nano: Towards Cyborg Cells" last summer at a conference in Greenland, announcing their view that the early twenty-first century is a time of tremendous promise and tremendous peril. We face daunting problems of climate change, energy, health, and water resources. Synthetic biology offers solutions to these issues: from microorganisms that convert plant matter to fuels or that synthesize new drugs or target and destroy rogue cells in the body.

"This is a critical moment for synthetic biology," said Paul McEuen, professor of physics, Cornell University. "The choices facing us now — the scientific investments we make and the rules we set down to govern the field — will impact society for decades to come."

"As with any powerful technology, the promise comes with risk," McEuen stressed.

Oppression of indigenous Hawaiians by US

Kalahui Hawaii

The indigenous Hawaiians are descendants of Polynesians who arrived at the islands in 200 A.D. Throughout the years the people

maintained a distinct culture shared amongst the islands of Nihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui, and Hawaii. Following the arrival of Captain James Cook in 1778, numerous missionaries and whalers settled in the region and eventually influenced the indigenous Hawaiians (the Kanaka Maoli).

Foreigners acquired most of the land in just one generation and began cultivating sugar, controlling the government in order to maintain control over their wealth.

1893 The US forcibly overthrew the Kingdom of Hawaii.

Kanaka Maoli are excluded from the U.S. policy by which American Indian and Alaskan Native governments are recognized and allowed legal and economic jurisdiction over their lands and natural resources.

most of these lands are held "in trust" for native Hawaians the U.S. government controls these lands and continues to breach this trust

clipper's remarks: Suicide among US soldiers to hit new record

Clip Source: www.telegraph.co.uk

By Catherine Elsworth in Los Angeles

Suicides among serving US soldiers are on course to hit a new record this year and could exceed the rate among the general population for the first time since the Vietnam War, according to Army officials.

By the end of last month, as many as 93 active duty soldiers had killed themselves so far this year, although 31 of those deaths remained under investigation.

If the total is confirmed and the trend continues, the suicide rate among soldiers would exceed that of the general US population for the first time since the Vietnam War, officials said, and top last year's figure of 115, the highest annual toll on record.

"With four months left, we're probably going to surpass 115," Colonel Eddie Stephens, the army's deputy director of human resources policy, told a Pentagon news conference.

The figures were revealed as Army General David Petraeus, America's senior commander in Iraq, recommended delaying troop reductions in Iraq until next year.

Whatever Happened to Family Values?How the GOP gave in to anti-abortion absolutism.

About this, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Bill Bennett, Gertrude Himmelfarb, and, yes, Dan Quayle were entirely correct. Remember Murphy Brown? I always thought the former vice president was on solid ground when he called it morally irresponsible to encourage women without the TV character's resources to embark on child-rearing on their own. In today's GOP, Quayle wouldn't condemn Murphy Brown. He'd call her up to the stage and salute her for choosing life.

U.K. Environmental Minister scorns "global warming" nonsense

clipper's remarks: Another man with a brain of his own sees through the liberal scam.

Clip Source: news.bbc.co.uk

The Environment Minister Sammy Wilson has angered green campaigners by describing their view on climate change as a "hysterical psuedo-religion".

Mr Wilson said he believed it occurred naturally and was not man-made.

"Resources should be used to adapt to the consequences of climate change, rather than King Canute-style vainly trying to stop it," said the minister.

Mr Wilson said he refused to "blindly accept" the need to make significant changes to the economy to stop climate change.

The minister said he accepted climate change can occur, but does not believe the cause has been identified.

"Reasoned debate must replace the scaremongering of the green climate alarmists."

It is the latest clash between Mr Wilson and green groups since his appointment as environment minister in June.

Essential tools for Blogger template design (Blogger Template Design Series)

When designing Blogger templates, it's useful to have a set of "tools" available before you begin. So in this installment of the Blogger Template Design series, I have compiled a list of tools I use often when designing themes, from imaging programs to relevant websites and resources you may like to use when designing your own templates.

A test blog

I would strongly advise you to do this using a test blog.

An image manipulation program

This is one of the key tools used when designing Blogger templates. In almost all of the themes I've created, I have needed to use an imaging program to create some aspect of the design.

A basic text editor

Online file hosting

More than one internet browser

Or at least the ability to check your designs in other browsers!
