Obfuscation is Easy

Very smart. Lots of different formats and sizes to download.

The study, published in Nature Genetics, found six regions of the genome that were associated with AS - the two strongest associations were with genes called ERAP1 and IL23R.

More to do with understanding the disease than curing it, but I'm not complaining - horse before cart.

3 ways to not scare people when you walk past them late at night in a bad neighborhood.

1. Whistle. This shows you’re somewhat happy, which muggers aren’t.

2. Skip. Muggers furtively trudge.

3. Carry a tobacco pipe. Tobacco, not crack or lead.

Do give money to MSF, then, but if you do, make sure that your donation is unrestricted. The charity will do its very best in Haiti either way, but by allowing your money to be spent anywhere, you will help people in dire need all over the world, not just in Haiti.

A huge amount of cash is going to Haiti. In some cases enough for many years of aid. Médecins Sans Frontières were able to put unrestricted donations to use in Haiti within hours of the disaster - before anybody had donated specifically for that cause. Some of the local charities (the article names Yéle) have a chequered past and funds are not necessarily accounted for.
So it would be prudent to support recognised, responsible, accountable disaster relief charities with unrestricted donations - and now is as good a time as any.

I suspect one reason God thought work was such a good idea is that work is a simplified version of life, one in which we can be trained to become a person. Work is God's sandbox. He invites His children to play together in ways that help to grow them into who they are to become. Many work roles are very difficult, but they are almost always much simpler than personal or relational roles. Roles that express a greater degree of fullness of human experience are harder and more demanding. Life at work is easier than life at home, because it's more two-dimensional. It's focused on a smaller set of issues on what is actually a fairly small stage.

I STAND corrected: apparently what's really dividing the nation isn't old-fashioned cultural politics, nor even health-care reform, but the impression that Barack Obama responded more rapidly and aggressively to the earthquake in Haiti than he did to the "underwear bomber". What, after all, is a disaster with tens of thousands of people dead, compared to an incident that might have killed a hundred-odd people, except that it didn't? Particularly where one merely involves Haitian victims, while the other involves a Muslim bad guy?

A man was arrested under the Terrorism Act and issued with a life ban from Doncaster's airport after joking on Twitter that he would blow it "sky high" if his flight was delayed.

Next: All keyboards to have "B" key removed to prevent terrorists discussing bomb-making. Don't mock it - it's National Security.
