Anonymous Hacks The Westboro Baptist Church: Posts All Their Personal Information Commentary – Updated | The hacking collective known as Anonymous renewed their war on the Westboro Baptist Church today. After the haters from the infamous church posted their intentions to picket the funerals of the twenty children killed in the shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, Anonymous responded by re-posting the personal and professional information for members of the church on the Internet. Now the general public can contact the church members directly and tell them what they think about people who would desecrate the funerals of murdered children. Westboro Baptist Church has been irritating Americans for years with venom filled message about their demented version of God. According to the many closely related and intermarried members of the Phelps family who make up the majority of the congregation of the so-called church, God enjoys killing children and soldiers. Of course, Westboro denied the charges and taunted Anonymous as incompetent hackers. UPDATE 4:00 am CST:

Protein From Animal Products is More Harmful Than From Plants Within the health community possibly one of the more popular debates is the debate in whether or not we should be consuming meat. Is it good for us? Do we need it? There are many sides to the coin and a lot of different beliefs out there. In school we are taught the four basic food groups, one of them being meat! “All protein on this planet comes from the sun to begin with. “In the next ten years, one of the things you’re bound to hear is that animal protein is one of the most toxic nutrients of all that can be considered. The protein myth is said to have started in two major ways. The next big contributor, as mentioned above, is the meat industry itself. Heart disease is the number one health problem in the United States today, and according to the American Heart Association, it is the single leading cause of death. The way protein is formed in the body is quite simple. So how much protein do we need? There you have it. Sources: www.theproteinmyth.com/

How Wall Street Hollowed Out Industrial America This story first appeared on the TomDispatch website. "Debtpocalypse" looms. Depending on who wins out in Washington, we're told, we will either free fall over the fiscal cliff or take a terrifying slide to the pit at the bottom. Grim as these scenarios might seem, there is something confected about the mise-en-scène, like an un-fun Playland. And yet the pit exists. Think of it as the archeology of decline, or a tale of two worlds. Scenes from the Museum In the mid-1970s, Hugh Carey, then governor of New York, was already noting the hollowing out of his part of America. As it happened, the tourists weren't interested. Times have changed. Camden, New Jersey, for example, had long been a robust, diversified small industrial city. That was 40 years ago and yet, today, news stories are still being written about Camden's never-ending decline into some bottomless abyss. Burglaries, robberies, and assaults doubled after the steel plants closed. "Good times" or bad, it didn't matter.

Who was Henry George? The Robert Schalkenbach Foundation presents: Who Was Henry George? by Agnes George de Mille A hundred years ago a young unknown printer in San Francisco wrote a book he called Progress and Poverty. He wrote after his daily working hours, in the only leisure open to him for writing. He had no real training in political economy. Indeed he had stopped schooling in the seventh grade in his native Philadelphia, and shipped before the mast as a cabin boy, making a complete voyage around the world. George was endowed for his job. An image of developing civilization: “The Story of the Savannah” from the set of illustrations done for Progress and Poverty in the 1950s by Henry George School Director Robert Clancy. The result of his inquiry, Progress and Poverty, is written simply, but so beautifully that it has been compared to the very greatest works of the English language. Inevitably he was reviled as well as idolized. But nothing that has been tried satisfies. This clown civilization is ours.
Philosophical teaching will get students thinking for themselves again | Teacher Network | Guardian Professional Education would be more successful, and more enjoyable, if less time was spent teaching to the test and more time was spent teaching students to think for themselves. I'm not alone in believing this. In a recent Cambridge Assessment Research Survey, 87% of lecturers said that too much teaching to the test is a major factor contributing to students being under-prepared for degree-level study. With such widespread agreement about this, you would think that the issue of how assessment pressure is distorting teaching would be at the centre of the debate about A-level reform. Instead, the discussion so far has focused on assessment structure (modular versus linear) and standards (bringing in HE to restore rigour and counter 'grade inflation'). But if real teaching has given way to a process of training students to jump through assessment hoops, HE concerns aren't going to be met simply by reducing the number of hoops, or by lifting them higher. But there is a false antithesis here.
