Map locates Italian cruise ship adrift with no power in Indian Ocean

(AP) ? Helicopters ferried food and flashlights to more than 1,000 passengers and crew stuck aboard a disabled cruise ship that is being towed to the Seychelles Islands through waters prowled by pirates, officials said Tuesday.

Still, those aboard the sister ship of the vessel that capsized off Italy last month may have to spend more long, stifling nights aboard the Costa Allegra before it docks in the tropical paradise.

Cruise ship company officials said the Costa Allegra could reach the main Seychelles island of Mahe by late Wednesday or early Thursday, depending on sea conditions.

The Costa Allegra has 636 passengers and 413 crew members on board: Among them are 212 Italian, 31 British and eight U.S. passengers. Four of the passengers are children ages 3 or younger.

The ship lost power Monday after a fire in its generator room, which knocked out power to the ship's engines as well as to its lights and air conditioning.

The helicopters also took telephones, because the electrical outage disabled the ship's non-emergency phones.

Cruise ship officials had said that they would be taking the stranded travelers by Wednesday to Desroches, a small, exclusive coral-lined island in the Seychelles. However, they later said Tuesday that they would instead bring them to Mahe.

The cruise ship company said the change was done for safety and logistical reasons. Two tug boats have joined a French fishing vessel to tow the cruise ship, which is being escorted by the Seychelles coast guard ship 'Andromache' and an air force plane.

The fire aboard the Costa Allegra comes only six weeks after one of its sister ships, the Costa Concordia, hit a reef and capsized off Italy, killing 25 people and leaving seven missing and presumed dead.

No one was injured in the fire Monday, but the blaze set the cruiseliner adrift at sea in a region where Somali pirates prey on ships.

Both ships are operated by Costa Crociere SpA, which is owned by the Florida-based Carnival Corp.

However, company officials rushed to play down concerns.

The Costa Allegra is adrift "and being pushed by the current. It is stable and upright," Giorgio Moretti, the director of nautical operations for Costa Crociere SpA, told reporters in a conference call late Monday from company headquarters in Genoa, Italy.

"It's a big ship and to tow it, to move it across the waters, is a heavy task," said Seychelles presidential spokeswoman Srdjana Janosevic. She said that everything is calm on board the cruise ship and that no one is hurt.

Italian Coast Guard officials said emergency generators were keeping the ship's control room illuminated and communications equipment such as radios running.

The Allegra, whose Italian name means "merry," or "happy," had left northern Madagascar, off Africa's southeast coast, on Saturday and was cruising toward Port Victoria when the fire erupted. Costa said the Allegra had been due in Port Victoria on Tuesday.

The general region where the cruise ship was adrift ? off the coast of Tanzania ? has seen a rash of attacks by Somali pirates. In 2009, an Italian cruise ship with 1,500 people aboard fended off a pirate attack in the Indian Ocean far off the coast of Somalia.

Moretti said an armed nine-member Italian military team on anti-pirate duty was aboard the Allegra, but he insisted the maritime region where the ship was now "isn't a high risk area for pirates."

"If pirates attack, the armed guards on board will respond. But as far as I am aware, no pirates have been sighted in the area," said Janosevic.

Moretti said 15 Costa engineers, technicians and other officials were flying to Mahe in hope of reaching the Allegra by air to repair its generators.

Frankfurt airport strike continues; 140 flights cut

Germany's biggest airline Lufthansa AG canceled 140 flights on Monday as ground workers held another strike at its main hub, Frankfurt airport.

Lufthansa said the canceled flights were all European and domestic round trips and that international long-haul flights would not be affected by the three-day strike of GdF union employees.

Some 200 workers who oversee tarmac operations are demanding double-digit wage increases from airport operator Fraport. Fraport has sharply criticized GdF demands while the union says it just wants the Frankfurt workers' salaries brought in line with what other airports pay.

In addition to the Lufthansa flights, Fraport spokesman Juergen Harrer said about 60 other flights had been canceled on Monday ? though he noted that most of the 1,300 daily flights were still running.

"The operations here in Frankfurt are running in an orderly fashion," he said.

Union spokesman Markus Siebert said the strike was not intended to shut the airport down, just to cause enough inconvenience to bring attention to the workers' demands.

"What we don't want is to create chaos," he said. "It is all about creating disruptions and there are a huge number of those."

The strike started 9 p.m. Sunday (2000 GMT; 3 p.m. EST) and is to last until 5 a.m. Thursday (0400 GMT; 11 p.m. EST Wednesday). It follows a three-day strike last week at Europe's third-busiest airport.

GdF decided to resume the strikes after accusing Fraport of making an "absolutely unacceptable" offer following the first round ? the same words Fraport has used to describe GdF's demands.

ALM Press Room ? Blog Archive ? 4 in 10 Law Firms Report ...

NEW YORK (February 28, 2012) ?A new survey suggests that social media is now delivering a return on investment for law firms, with 49 percent of U.S. law firms reporting that blogging and social networking initiatives have helped produce new business leads and 41 percent reporting that social media had helped them to actually land new work.

?Fans, Followers and Connections: Social Media ROI for Law Firms,? a special report released today from ALM Legal Intelligence, is based on a survey of approximately 180 law firm partners, marketing professionals and administrators that was conducted in December 2011 and January 2012. The report is available now at www.almlegalintel.com.

?After a slow start to gain acceptance in the legal services industry, U.S. law firms are rapidly gaining confidence in the use of social media as a serious business development strategy,? said Kevin Iredell, vice president of research and continuing education at ALM. ?The skepticism of a decade ago has given way to a growing appreciation for the ways that blogs and various other social media and networking tools can be deployed to help build the reputation of individual lawyers and practice groups, as well as enhance law firms? overall marketing efforts.?

Other notable findings from the survey include:
??Almost 85 percent of law firms now make use of social media and networking tools, such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Just over 60 percent said their firms now maintain one or more blogs.
??Nearly 90 percent believe that the integration of social media into their firms? marketing, business development and recruiting efforts should be an important priority, with more than 40 percent rating social media initiatives as very important.
??More than half said that their firms plan to increase their budget for social media initiatives in 2012 and just over 20 percent said their firms already have a full-time social media specialist on staff.
??More than 40 percent said that blogs and social media networks have helped to increase the number of calls their firms receive from journalists in traditional and new media. Likewise, roughly the same number said their presence in the blogosphere and on social media networks had also increased the number of speaking invitations their lawyers receive.

CRS ? The Federal Communications Commission: Current ...

The Federal Communications Commission: Current Structure and Its Role in the Changing Telecommunications Landscape
Source: Congressional Research Service (via Federation of American Scientists)

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent federal agency with its five members appointed by the President, subject to confirmation by the Senate. It was established by the Communications Act of 1934 (1934 Act) and is charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. The mission of the FCC is to ensure that the American people have available?at reasonable cost and without discrimination?rapid, efficient, nation- and world-wide communication services, whether by radio, television, wire, satellite, or cable.

Although the FCC has restructured over the past few years to better reflect the industry, it is still required to adhere to the statutory requirements of its governing legislation, the Communications Act of 1934. The 1934 Act requires the FCC to regulate the various industry sectors differently. Some policymakers have been critical of the FCC and the manner in which it regulates various sectors of the telecommunications industry?telephone, cable television, radio and television broadcasting, and some aspects of the Internet. These policymakers, including some in Congress, have long called for varying degrees and types of reform to the FCC. Most proposals fall into two categories: (1) procedural changes made within the FCC or through congressional action that would affect the agency?s operations or (2) substantive policy changes requiring congressional action that would affect how the agency regulates different services and industry sectors. Nine bills have been introduced during the 112th Congress that would change the operation of the FCC.

Most of the FCC?s budget is derived from regulatory fees collected by the agency rather than through a direct appropriation. The fees, often referred to as ?Section (9) fees,? are collected from license holders and certain other entities (e.g., cable television systems) and deposited into an FCC account. The law gives the FCC authority to review the regulatory fees and to adjust the fees to reflect changes in its appropriation from year to year. It may also add, delete, or reclassify services under certain circumstances.

The FY2012 budget is included in P.L. 112-74, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 (H.R. 2055), which was signed by President Obama on December 23, 2011. The budget provides $339,844,000 for agency salaries and expenses with no direct appropriation (all funding will be obtained through the collection of regulatory fees). This level is $16,790,000 less than the FY2011 budget.

Avoiding Poor Business Ethics and Practices | Free Article Directory

Staying clean in the quandary of unethical business practices can be achieved with the implementation of sound business ethics and practices. What exactly is businesses responsibility and where does their obligation for business ethics end? This is a question that is asked in many boardrooms.

Business has a responsibility to maximize profits to business partners, shareholders, and for that matter the government who will inevitably receive more taxes. But at what cost? Business also has a responsibility to customers and the general public. There is an overall opinion that business as a contract with society, which includes obligations, duties that must be filled, and the implementation of business ethics.

However, some countries such as Asia, are different and demand a different type of behavior. This includes corruption of the virtuous, daunting amounts of size, poorly educated employees, poorly paid employees, weak legal structures, absence of free press, and temptation.

Corruption and the lack of business ethics impacts all societies. It distorts the decision making process and leads to irrational decisions. It leads to disproportionate resource allocation and investors are frightened away. Both the economy and business are negatively impacted. Individuals are most hurt by corruption. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.

There can be no intellectual argument to support corruption and downplay the importance of business ethics. Even in the most corrupt of societies, those acting in a corrupt manner do not admit to their corrupt activities. Every society has rules in place to handle corruption, although enforcement can be weak or even non-existent.

One of the most openly debated business ethics is the giving of gifts. In countries with poor business ethics it is justified as being necessary for business success, or as part of the culture. Many argue it has been done this way for a long time, and there is no reason to change. You know the old adage ?I?ll scratch your back if you scratch mine.? The trouble is it is a well documented fact that this type of behavior leads to corruption. It may start as an innocent action, but over time the gifts (bribes) become bigger and the corruption becomes very real.

Poor business ethics and corruption will lead to the reduction of working capital and actually negatively affect the company?s bottom line. It tends to have a snowball effect and it will hurt the company?s reputation leading to trade barriers and consumer boycotting of products.

Political Correctness | Centurean2?s Weblog

Political Correctness

There are real dangers In any democratic society where criticism has to be stifled absolutely. The alarming history of that outrageous process has already begun within the British Parliament, which, in recent times, has attempted to shutdown free speech and criticism of homosexuality per se. Hence attempts to introduce hate speech crimes. Dedicated professional gay activists continue to pursue the prohibition of public discussion that fails to support the contrived political rights of homosexual men and women.

This bizarre new gay gospel not only reflects a self-indulgent narcissism but it also masks the inherent histrionics of an irrational destructive sexual identity. As a consequence it obfuscates more than it discloses about homosexual behaviour to an extent that it serves to distract from the reality of gay politics and conduct.

Political correctness is about wielding power in the fullest civil and ethical sense, a matter central to the homosexual heart. This is pursued with a dogmatic intimidation and rigid subversion of established cultural, ethical and religious values. It is their intention to dominate political discourse and to determine events and issues and they are organised in small groups but in a big way to do this.

The hostility of political correctness is demonstrated by its lack of alternatives as it inverts logic, truth and reality. So, for example, gays conceal the fact they are in greater danger of molestation, rape and murder by other homosexuals, when the facts establish the opposite. It thus also exposes its intimidatory and intolerant nature.

What frightens people is that it is more negative that positive! And they have not yet woken up to the simple fact that political correctness is primarily about smoke and mirrors because its function is to distort.

Perhaps more disturbing is the fact that political correctness is ingrained in many of the institutions of science, academia and government. Indeed, psychology, psychiatry, social science and social work have been captured by the ultra-liberal agenda of cultural Marxism. Witness the unedifying preoccupation with political correctness, sensitivity and diversity. The professionalism of science and academia has capitulated to this questionable phenomenon. This will be examined in detail here.

If you want to experience cultural Marxism today, you couldn?t do worse that tune in to the BBC, now a pre-eminent cultural institution in Britain. Its influence is profoundly all-pervasive as it casts its relentless probing gaze on the Church, the Monarchy, the State and all the functions of government. Institutions like the police, the courts and parliament are subject to remorseless scrutiny. It dwarfs every other media outlet in the country and has a huge international audience. It is the largest employer of journalists in the world and 93% of the population use BBC services at least once a week. Generously subsidised by public taxation to the tune of ?3 billion plus each year, it has no real competitor. Insulated from public enquiry it is arrogantly self-serving and scathing of any criticism. Auntie knows best! It deceitfully pretends to be independent and impartial.

In his seminal book ?Can we trust the BBC?? (2007), former prominent BBC journalist Robin Aitken documents how the BBC has transformed from strictly reporting news to the more insidious concern of shaping and defining opinion and value.

He asserts that people at the top of the corporation are the baby-boomers of the late 1940?s and 50?s ? our Flower Power and Free Love generation. They championed an intoxicating explosion of youth culture, strident individualism, and material acquisitiveness as they challenged established authority. They rejected traditional sexual mores and adopted a liberal morality. Today, they control a powerful institution that tends to report less news but more manipulation of political and cultural value. Aitken documents, among other things, how undeserved support was given to the IRA and largely withdrawn from the Unionist during the battle against Republican terrorists. The impartiality of some leading news and current affairs programmes is questioned and the cosy relationship between the BBC and Labour is outlined. Currently, several prominent politicians previously worked for the BBC that reflected a left-leaning gay-friendly view of society.

Aitken tellingly observes, ?The BBC is passionately against racism, in favour or ?human rights?, supportive of internationalism, suspicious of traditional British identity and consequently pro-EU, it is feminist, secular and allergic to established authority whether in the form of the Crown, the courts, the police of the churches.?

Dominated by the young, feminists, homosexuals and those from the ethnic minorities it suffers from a deep-seated institutional bias that deliberately favours the liberal-left. It is anti-Christian and pro-Islam, anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian, anti-American and pro-Arab. One BBC member describes its core values as anti-racist, pro-abortion, pro-women?s and gay rights, pro-Un, pro-EU, pro-union and anti-big business, pro-high taxation, pro-government spending, anti-private education, anti-private health care, pro-local democracy, pro-multiculturalism and ethnic minorities, pro-foreigner, especially left-wing governments, anti-American, anti-monarchy and anti-prison. Another views their job, not as impartially reporting the news, but as directly brainwashing the population.

The BBC also came in for heavy criticism from Paul Dacre of the Daily Mail in 2007. Under the heading, ?The BBC?s cultural Marxism will trigger an American-style backlash?, he charged them with intolerance waging a Orwellian campaign against British values. He accused them for their anti-conservative stance, its hostility to British history and values, unionism, Europsceptism, capitalism and big business, the countryside, Christianity and family values. On the other hand he observed they were sympathetic to Labour, European federalism, the state and state spending, mass immigration, minority rights, multiculturalism, alternative lifestyles, abortion and progressiveness in the education and justice systems.

The attitude of the BBC to the Israel/Palestinian problem which is notoriously reported in favour of the latter?s cause, may be a political correct reinstatement of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office?s political expedient assessment of the Middle East problem. Known as the ?Camel Corp? following its historical open sympathy for the Arab cause, the FO has never had much time for Israel which may increasingly have something to do with the fact it does not have an oil. The leading British historian Andrew Roberts make the remarkable observation that no member of the Royal family has ever been on an official visit to Israel Whereas the FO has managed over the years to send the Queen on state visits to Libya, Iran, Sudan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, The United Arab Emirate, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Jordan and Turkey. Some of the worst countries in the world regarding freedom of speech, religious tolerance and democratic value.

Acclaimed author and social commentator Melanie Phillips has remarked, ?Over a vast range of issues ? big business, Conservatism, family values, America, Europe, Northern Ireland, the Middle East, climate change, abortion, multiculturalism ? the BBC fails to be dispassionate, objective or truthful.?

Then surfaced the unexpected revelation in 2010 of a Left-wing scriptwriter and an actor who had been hired by the BBC in the 1980?s to inspire a ?Tardis revolution? by injecting political propaganda into the television series Doctor Who to undermine Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. In one series she was portrayed as a vicious egotistical alien ruler who used a secret police to oppress dissidents. Other thinly veiled plots supported the miner?s strike and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. At the time, Norman Tebbitt, Tory MP, claimed the corporation was in the hands of a ?Marxist mafia?.

Former ?Time Lord? actor, Sylvester McCoy admitted, ?The idea of bringing politics into Doctor Who was deliberate, but we had to do it quietly? We were a group of politically motivated people and it seemed the right thing to do.? Andrew Cartmel, the script editor, said he was quite open about his plans to mock Mrs. Thatcher when interviewed for the job.?

A BBC spokesperson subsequently explained bafflement, ?The BBC?s impartiality rules applied just as strongly then as they do to programmes now.? This was Auntie at her damn best!

Then came a rare refreshing moment of candour even though heavily guarded, resentful and partial. Mark Thompson, Director General of the BBC made a remarkable public statement in September 2010 at a time when it was thought public funding for the broadcasting fat cats might be curtailed. He admitted the BBC was guilty of ?massive? Left-wing bias in the past, particularly during the Thatcher era. He went on to describe relations with the former Labour Government as ?quite tetchy?, but insisted that matters of balance had now improved.

Peter Hitchens of the Daily Mail unimpressed retorted, ?For about 20 years, I and a few others have been pointing out that the BBC is biased on the Left, morally, culturally and politically.? He concludes, ?The BBC remains reliably pro-EU, pro-PC, anti-Israel, in favour of the sexual revolution, soft on drugs, fanatical about man-made climate change. It has partly cured itself of its crude anti-Americanism, and Mr Thompson?s confession is plainly a sign of a wider recognition that things have not been right, in both senses of the word.?

It?s fair to ask therefore, was the BBC the covert propaganda arm of the Foreign Office and thus, ultimately, the Labour Government? This has serious implications for the well-being of our liberal democratic society?

Within a couple of weeks of the statement of impartiality by Mark Thompson, the BBC declared war on the Conservatives threatening to black out coverage of the Prime Minister?s keynote speech at the Tory party conference and other important events. Well in excess of 10,000 BBC workers support such action and plan several walkouts to disrupt the Government. The threatened strike results from plans to change the employees over generous pensions schemes.

Criticism continues! Early in 2011, Peter Sissons, a former front man at the BBC, anchoring news and current affairs for 20 years, published a scathing book about the impartiality of the organisation. In his book, When one Door Closes he claimed that the Left-wing bias was hard wired in the BBC?s DNA.

Within a month, veteran broadcaster, Michael Buerk, slammed the management of the BBC for being woman-dominated, given to political correctness and preoccupied with employing Asians and lesbians.

In April 2011, The Telegraph newspaper reported on the scandal of the recent WikiLeaks which suggested a possible propaganda media network for Al Qaeda within e World Service at the BBC in Bush House London. It was also reported that as far back as 2006 the BBC were prepared to interview Osma Bin Laden and that he be given a platform to explain in his views. Subsequently, the BBC?s veteran political journalist Andrew Marr observed, ?The BBC is not impartial or neutral. It?s a publicly funded, urban organisation with an abnormally large number of young people, ethnic minorities and gay people.? He went on, ?It has a liberal bias not so much a party-political bias. It is better expressed as a cultural liberal bias.?

The rot continues.

In September, 2011, the BBC announced it will no longer use the Christian-centric concepts of AD (Anno Domini the year of our Lord) and BC (Before Christ) on its website. This is being done to reflect ?modern practice? and not that of popular opinion.

When the BBC Broadcasting House was first opened in1932 by its Director-General, Sir John Reith, a plaque was unveiled which inscribed the following words that reflected the aspirations of the Board of Governors, ?It is their prayer that good seed sown may bring forth a good harvest, that all things hostile to peace and purity may be banished from this house, and that the people, inclining their ear to whatsoever things are beautiful and honest and of good report, may tread the path of wisdom and uprightness.?

Sir John Reith must now be turning over in his grave.

It would be a foolish mistake, however, to think that cultural Marxism is simply confined to the Labour or Liberal Democratic parties. Aspects have been secretly absorbed by David Cameron and the Conservative Central Office.

In February 2002, a confidential blueprint was drawn up in secret by Michael Gove, MP, current Secretary of State for Schools and Dean Godson, a director of the favoured think-tank Policy Exchange. Their aim was to impose more women, gays, Muslims and ethnic candidates for future elections. The explosive six-page document entitled, ?Action Plan for Candidate Selection in Safe Seats? proposed the use of subterfuge to end the white, heterosexual, male and middle class image of the Conservative Party. The idea was to get rid of its demeaning description as the ?Nasty Party?. Some considered this group as political ?Dinosaurs? and later in the shire constituencies as the ?Turnip Taliban?.

The report fully accepted that most of the talented candidates where white males because they were the best available. They proposed a radical change to include a greater cross-section of society even though they may be inferior. They argued that their findings should remain secret and that changes be introduced by stealth. They observed. ?The more the profusion of women, black, Asian or gay candidates appears to be the result of spontaneous open-mindedness on the part of the grassroots activists the greater will be the accolades.? Gove deceitfully observed, ?Like a conjuror, we?ll get more applause If the audience cannot see how the trick is performed.? The underlying assumption to this is that women, gays and ethnics are by their very nature progressive and liberal which should reflect well on the party. Reality suggests they can be just as reactionary as anyone else.

In January 2010, David Cameron took ?emergency powers? which allowed him to impose short-lists of ?suitable? candidates on reluctant local party activists. This draconian Marxist measure has subsequently incensed local party members up and down the country. Now a so-called Central Office ?A-list? is fast-tracking women, ethnic and gay candidates, most of whom are politically inexperienced with little local constituency knowledge. The result is mutiny, tears and resignations by the party faithful that have rocked Cameron. Rows erupted throughout the country and he has been warned that this controversial measure is alienating tens of thousands of activists.

Then there is the sinister and troubling behaviour of the police who have been taken in by the pink politics of the gay parade, even to the extent of proscribing behaviour outside the law. Admittedly, some laws regarding homosexual behaviour are now legal, but the police exceed themselves and embrace gay rights with an overwhelming gusto. The unnecessary and undignified arrest and charge, or its threat, of social commentators and others in society has led to an insidious groundswell of fear deep within the heart of the community. Gays keep recklessly pushing at the parameters of public discourse by feigning insult, injury and injustice in a relentless effort to smash any criticism. Equally, precipitous, presumptuous and prejudicial investigations by the police have resulted in stifling public opinion on any issue involving homosexuality. This, as will be detailed here, has drawn cutting censure from both Houses of Parliament.

Whether they like it or not, the police are unwittingly embracing a false moral panic about gay victimhood by demonising traditional values and concerns and by exaggerating societal homophobia and violence without tangible data. In doing so, they abandon their historical role as impartial guardians of law and order and, instead, enter a world largely determined by sexual politics. Enough to make their founder Sir Robert Peel, turn in his grave!

Interestingly, a survey of 2,000 British men in 2008 found that two thirds ?felt handcuffed? by political correctness and that it was safer to conceal their opinions. More than half thought society was turning them into ?waxed and coiffed metrosexuals?.

So, as far as Joe the Plummer is concerned, it is safer to say nothing.

Recall for a moment the Frankfurt School notion that the white male was to be singled out as evil or bad. Now consider this! Over the last few decades laws have been enacted in the UK which protects certain groups who are seen as victims of discrimination. According to David Green of Civitas, these groups include women (51%) of the population, ethnic minorities (4%), the disabled (11%) male pensioners (5%) and homosexuals (2%). Minority groups thus represent 73% of the population. Unprotected, the hapless white male is now in a miserable minority of its own.

This does not cater for potential multiple discriminations. So, for instance, a one-legged black lesbian could claim discrimination for being disabled, a woman, black and homosexual in one foul swoop. When multiple discriminations are considered they amount to a total number which is greater than the whole population. It is right to point out that contemporary victimhood is antithetical to our traditional notion of equality before the law, which in turn undermines liberty and democracy. It?s not quite that obvious yet, but the best intentions of our politicians have paved the way to a future hell especially when, with increasing frequency, free speech becomes hate speech.

The shallow callow face of political correctness can now be witnessed within the corridors of power at Westminster. In November, 2009, controversial plans were revealed by the House Of Commons Speaker?s Conference (on Parliamentary Representation) which recommended plans to force political parties to make Parliament less white, male, middle-class and heterosexual. The intention is to make all political parties publicly declare how many women, ethnic minority, gay and disabled applicants they reject as potential Parliamentary candidates. Former Tory Minister Ann Widdecombe MP described the proposals as ?insulting?.

It is astonishing, in one sense, how people will totally ignore, or even deny knowledge of the self-harm some people do to themselves. The effect of this is that destructive behaviours are overlooked in a conspiracy of silence.

For example, the singularly pernicious sexual debauchery of Hollywood superstar Marlon Brando, whose instant sexual gratification with men and women is well publicised in glossy magazines, has entirely escaped public censure. Similarly, the insatiable sexual appetite with gay men of flamboyant Freddie Mercury of the Queen pop group was of no significance other than the fact he died of AIDS. Indeed, recent events involving Boy George and George Michael; both here and abroad; hardly warrant attention once sensational media reporting has died down.

Leading actors and comedians of stage, film and television, classical and pop musicians, influential members of business and entrepreneurial captain?s of industry are constantly ?coming out? ? disclosing their homosexuality and no one bats an eyelid. Why should they because it?s now respectable? This holds true for prominent politicians and Ministers of State, including at least one who, elevated with a peerage, is HIV positive. Indeed, some MP?s have been exposed by the press for furtively using rent boys and in one case, another was found scantily dressed soliciting for anonymous gay sex on a homosexual dating website. Contrast that with the case of one MP who quickly resigned following disclosures of a ?moment of madness? on Clapham Common. Notwithstanding, he may subsequently have thought his resignation was unnecessary and so he unsuccessfully tried desperately to get back into national politics. None of this has, however, hindered any political career In contrast, Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, who admitted an extra-marital heterosexual affair was demoted from his ministerial position in the local government and communities department.

Instead, we ignore their sexual deviations because in the public?s view, sheer inspirational artistic talent or self-determination outmatches their narcissistic self-indulgent behaviour. And when numerous homosexual Minister?s of State enter into gay marriage we rush to congratulate them for their sheer bravado.

They In turn, and with increasing frequency, tell us that being gay is great and that those who think otherwise are detestable dogmatists who declare deceitful doctrines that are destructive and dangerous. In the new order of things, these critics are the real deviants who should be ostracised from the communion of public discourse. Hence the potential for hate speech crimes!

This is evidence of an attitudinal revolution in sexual mores whose source is directly related to the sexual rebellion of the Sixties. The Free Love movement, of men who loved women, is now exacting an unintended consequence of men who love men and the emergence of widespread catastrophic incurable diseases in the form of multi and coinfections. Gays thus irresistibly embrace an unambiguous deathstyle, which explains their addiction. More remarkable, indeed disturbing, are those known as ?bug chasers? who actively pursue it In a grotesque death-defying danse macabre with ?gift givers? at gay HIV positive parties.

Yet, even here, society is largely in denial about the emergence of these calamitous infections because they readily embrace the toxic source of its vulgar pathological cause. This is crass stupidity! It is like encouraging a person suffering with lung cancer to continue smoking, or giving whiskey to an alcoholic in the hope of sobering him up.

Nevertheless, without public or political opprobrium, the deadly inexorable embrace of Mother Nature has determined the painful and prejudicial parameters of Gay Pride. For the Grim Reaper is the ultimate arbiter that stubbornly mocks at the fortress-like door of the primeval pagan temple of strutting hedonistic gay hubris and self-indulgent human rights, for disease and death are doggedly a function of gayness that is far from carefree and merry.

The gay conspiracy is real. It involves political objectives in an effort to establish the supremacy of homosexuality and its related lifestyles in our society and culture. Sexual orientation policies like gay marriage, adoption, theology and the introduction of hate and speech crime neatly point to a future homosexual-dominated social order. Homosexuals define their personal identity by their sexual urges and desires. This causes them to believe that advancing the gay agenda is a fight for life. Their emotional urgency about their agenda, combined with a sense; fostered by their own propaganda; of being victims of injustice allows them to justify the use of any political tactic against those they perceive as enemies.

The homosexual lobby in the United States and Western Europe has achieved most of its political objectives over the last 60 years. The only major institution that currently stands as a threat is the Christian church. A key tenet of a liberal society is that it grants religious organisation the freedom to practise their religious faith. Any measure that prevents this is profoundly illiberal and oppressive.

The creation of a British Equality Commission is a reflection of Labour?s ideological agenda to eradicate prejudice. It also exposes Labour?s intolerance to the Christian church which is demonstrated by the fact they propose to force religious organisations to employ homosexuals even in cases where such groups view it as a sin.

Sadly, we observe a deliberate decline into decadence and cultural genocide.

Finally, during this discourse we will encounter many types of denial that characterise the culture of homosexuality. It will be observed that gays deceitfully create falsehoods to win over public opinion. This battle of wits is not entirely successful though, which explains why the exercise has to be repeated ad nauseam. They aim to desensitise public opinion with repeated expressions of gayness-in-your-face ? gay pride events, gay history months, gay pride awards, gay safe spaces, gay holding-hand events and memorial days for gay holocaust victims. They really want you to ?Get over it? because if do not ? your? re homophobic.

This is another good reason why their distortions should be challenged and exposed.

Ideas For Reducing And Eliminating Acne ... - New Health and Fitness

New Health And Fitness.Org - Health Information You Can Use

Many people believe that acne is only on the face, but it also happens on the torso. It still needs to be treated no matter where it is. The below article can provide you assistance on the right method of treating acne.

Try to wipe away sweat right away so that you do not let it clog your pores. Clogged pores and breakouts are more likely when sweat is allowed to stay on your body. After sweating excessively, try to have a ten to fifteen minute warm shower.

Your acne can be worsened by eating too much meat and dairy products. Commercially produced meat and dairy products contain hormones that can negatively affect your skin. When you eat less of them, your skin will improve.

By adding exercise to your life, you can help treat, as well as reduce, your acne. Exercise boosts circulation of the blood, which rids the body of toxins while carrying essential oxygen and nutrients all over. Exercising will help keep your body strong and healthy, which will help fight acne. Additionally, it can help you to relieve stress, and stress contributes to acne.

To avoid instances of breakouts, you will want to cleanse your face twice each day using gentle, organic soap with warm water. Rinse thoroughly with cool water.

This will take things from bad to horrendous.

It is common knowledge that stress is a significant contributing factor to acne. It is a true statement but luckily there are many ways to help reduce stress in your life. Exercise, meditation, and yoga can all provide long lasting relief from stress. They also have many other wonderful health benefits.

Stress can have quite an impact on your acne. Take the time to relax and unwind during the day. Relaxing and doing activities you enjoy will reduce your stress, which will balance the hormones that have been causing the acne. Limit your intake of caffeine and avoid cigarette smoke whenever possible.

For an easy home remedy to clear up acne, make a facial mask by combining equal portions of lime juice and ground nut oil. Mix well and spread on the skin. This will help the acne heal and prevent it from coming back.

Do not use tooth whitening products. If you?re getting breakouts around your mouth, look at your dental treatments. Tooth whitening products of all descriptions can cause acne problems. Your mouth?s skin is delicate and can be easily irritated.

A tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of ice water is a tart, tasty way to help balance the pH level of your entire body ? including your skin. This will not only help with your acne, but it will detoxify your whole system. There are many drink recipes that have apple cider vinegar in them, or you can drink it plain, if you choose.

There is a very good chance that if you suffer from acne, it is caused by stress. Take the time out for yourself and just relax. Taking part in an enjoyable activity will help with hormonal balance and reduce stress, which can aggravate acne. If you do have a breakout, it is important that you stay away from cigarettes and caffeine.

There is a very good chance that if you suffer from acne, it is caused by stress. Relaxation time is very important so ensure there is always time scheduled for you. Relaxing and doing activities you enjoy will reduce your stress, which will balance the hormones that have been causing the acne. Smoking cigarettes and drinking too much caffeine can also be related to acne problems, so consider avoiding both.

Resist the temptation to pick at, pop or squeeze your pimples, whiteheads and blackheads. Instead, use acne treatment cream. Picking at acne can result in your broken skin becoming infected or leaving scars when it heals. The uneven discolorations that often result from picking at acne can take years to fade away.

A good acne fighting vitamin is zinc, which can help to reduce free radical formation under the skin. Take a zinc supplement daily, and it will help destroy cystic acne.

If you are able to, take advantage of swimming in a pool on a regular basis. Because it provides both exercise and stress relief, swimming can help your body resist acne better. Chlorine is known to soothe the skin and dry out your pimples as well.

Do not allow sweat to stay on the body for long periods if you do not want acne. Sweat will clog pores, and this may cause breakouts. After any periods of excessive sweating, aim for a warm shower lasting ten or more minutes.

An often-overlooked acne trigger is the acne medication itself. Many prescription medications, especially those that contain hormones, can cause acne to form or become worse. If your acne becomes unbearable, you may wish to consult your physician and discuss changing medications.

Honey is a home remedy for a acne. If you take a bit of honey and some cinnamon and mix it together and apply it to the face, let it sit for roughly 5-10 minutes, and it will cause the skin to appear smoother and also rid your face of any excess oil and waste substances.

If you have acne, zinc can help you to prevent free radicals from damaging your skin. If you suffer from cystic acne, try taking zinc supplements once each day to treat acne internally.

When I was younger, I had very bad acne, but one day I realized my breakouts had disappeared. Once the pizza and fried chicken were removed from my diet, the zits made an exit as well. This trick may work for you, as well!

Whether you have just developed acne, or if you have had it for years, it is helpful to learn new information. The tips you just read will help you seize the day and clear up your skin for good. Implementing the tips in this article is your first step to better looking skin.

Rent to own is a appealing choice to to talk about with your spouse, though sadly it is tough to find a true rent to own deal.

Investing goes from main bank centres from the U.Azines. to New zealand and australia, to cina, to Europe last but not least to the U.Azines. it's a entire group of friends trading sport.?
During the past, the forex trading inter-standard bank market place had not been available to small investors due to large minimum financial transaction dimensions and rigorous financial needs.?
Finance institutions, main foreign currency sellers and even just very large speculator ended up the principal sellers. Only they could actually benefit from the foreign currency market's amazing assets and strong trending dynamics of lots of the earth's main foreign currency exchange prices.?
Right now, fx market brokers are able to breakdown the larger sort of inter-standard bank models, and offer small dealers like you and me the opportunity to buy or sell any number of these smaller sized models. These brokers give any size investor, such as particular person investors or smaller sized companies, the possibility to buy and sell at the same prices and price motions because the big people who when focused the marketplace. If you want to buy and sell Forex successfully, preferable to buy and sell Binary Options.

Serotonin could play a large role in bone loss

Tuesday, February 21, 2012

Scientists have long known that calcium leaches from the bones both during lactation and in certain types of cancer. The driver behind these phenomena is a molecule called parathyroid hormone related protein (PTHrP), which is secreted by the mammary glands. The signal that regulates the secretion of PTHrP, and where this other unknown molecule exerts its influence, has remained a mystery. Now, in a new study using cells and tissues from mice, cows, and people, a team of researchers at the University of Cincinnati have identified this mystery molecule as serotonin, a neurotransmitter most often recognized for its role in happiness and well-being. The scientists also identified the specific receptor that serotonin acts on in mammary tissue. Understanding these two findings more deeply could lead to better ways to combat bone loss, potentially by using drugs that affect serotonin signaling.

The study is entitled "Mammary Gland Serotonin Regulates Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein and Other Bone-Related Signals" (http://bit.ly/yeB5uQ). It appears in the Articles in PresS section of the American Journal of Physiology ? Endocrinology and Metabolism, published by the American Physiological Society (APS).

Methodology

The researchers first examined lactating mice with a genetic mutation that prevented them from making serotonin efficiently and compared the amount of PTHrP in these animals to that in lactating normal, healthy mice. Next, they treated mouse and cow mammary cells with serotonin to see if it could induce secretion of PTHrP. They then treated human breast cancer lines with serotonin to see if the neurotransmitter could change expression of PTHrP and a gene called Runx2, which is known to be involved in metastatic breast cancer and bone loss. Finally, they examined mice genetically modified to be missing a particular type of serotonin receptor, as well as mouse mammary cells, to determine which serotonin receptor might be responsible for influencing PTHrP secretion.

Results

The researchers found that lactating mice genetically modified to prevent them from making serotonin efficiently (tryptophan hydoxylase 1 mutation) had significantly less PTHrP in their mammary glands compared to lactating normal, healthy mice, suggesting that serotonin is pivotally important for producing PTHrP. Supporting these findings, mouse and cow mammary cells treated with serotonin increased their expression of the gene responsible for PTHrP production by 8- and 20-fold, respectively. Treating three human breast cancer cell lines with serotonin increased expression of the PTHrP gene by 20-fold, and also increased expression of Runx2 as well. Though previous studies have shown that a serotonin receptor known as 5-HT7 is important for some mammary gland functions, this current study suggests that a different receptor, known as 5-HT2, is the target responsible for stimulating PTHrP levels.

Importance of the Findings

These findings suggest that serotonin is a molecule that regulates PTHrP production, which in turn affects how calcium leaches from the bones during lactation and soft tissue cancer metastases. The authors suggest that this finding isn't completely surprising, since many antidepressants that act on serotonin have bone loss as a side effect. Understanding the action of serotonin better could help researchers develop better ways to preserve bone, they say, potentially through the action of drugs that act on the serotonin system.

"The complexity of 5-HT (serotonin) signaling demands cautious interpretations and the testing of new hypotheses and additional model systems. With improved knowledge, serotonergic drugs may provide novel opportunities for therapeutic interventions," the authors say.

'Select' PS Vita apps hit the US PlayStation Store: Netflix, LiveTweet and Flickr (Update: video hands-on)

Did you just brave the lines of a midnight launch party and snag yourself a PS Vita in the US? Good news ye early adopters, Sony's PlayStation.Blog.US has just announced that select free apps will be available as part of today's PlayStation Store update. Currently, you'll find Netflix, LiveTweet and Flickr, but there's still nary of trace of Facebook or Foursquare among the bunch (nor any official word on release dates for that matter). We gave each app a download and quick spin prior to them being officially listed without much in the way of hiccups -- however, Netflix does take its sweet time to start-up. Disappointingly, Vita's 20MB cap on 3G data is totally in effect on Netflix, as switching to our cellular connection denied us any access to the service. We're giving the apps some extended use to bring you our initial impressions shortly, but for now, you'll find more info at the source link below.

Update: We've added gallery below and a brief video hands-on just past the break to let you grab a taste of each app before downloading them for yourself.
