Google named official social platform of 2012 Republican National Convention

It's no secret that Big G's tight with the federal government, whether it's White House staff hanging out on Google +, or the company giving us all a personal tour of Obama's abode. This time around, though, Larry Page & Co. have announced a partnership with the GOP which makes Mountain View the official social platform and livestream provider of the upcoming Republican National Convention. Essentially, this means Republicans at the gathering will use sites like YouTube and Google+ to stream live events and pop in at the occasional Hangout. That said, it wouldn't surprise us if attendees dabbled in that other social network, as it's no stranger to politics, either. Too bad Santorum's not around to try on those snorkeling goggles...

Home Improvement | Receiving Guests in Your House Patio and ...

Receiving your house guests is not only applicable in your living room where the comfortable and big couch lies, where the television is positioned, where the CDs and the books are lying around as well as the photo albums that contain the treasured memories of the years that went by. To go away from the usual setting, entertaining your visitors can also be done in the comforts of your patios or decks if you have one.

However, not because it is mentioned that patios as well as decks are equally ideal to keep your guests comfortable, you would just instantly send them to your patio or your deck without even making sure that it is a conducive place to stay in. In any way as possible, make your receiving area a place that would be both memorable and homey for your surprise guests.

Accessorize with furniture. Just like part of your house, go an extra mile and put pieces of furniture in your patios or decks. There is a wide variety of patio furniture that can be found in stores. There are affordable and definitely there are expensive ones as well. Just get those which can be beneficial for you and your guests. Patio furniture can make your guests feel like they are in their own houses only with a different setting. If you have extra bucks in your pocket, water fountains are great addition to fully accessorize the whole place. They are good to look at and very comfortable for the feeling. But if you are short of budget as well, then water fountains are not necessary. Of course, don not forget your couch or a nice and comfy chair to sit and a table.

Forms of entertainment. To keep your guests comfortable and entertained, fill your patios and decks not only with patio furniture but with gadgets, books and appliances as well. Television is nice however, they may not be ideal because patios and decks are open so the possibility of it being stolen or damaged is big. Reading materials such as magazines in every genre and topic, novels courtesy of foreign and local writers, a stack of photo albums, and even board games like scrabble, chess, monopoly and the likes can do well so your guests will not be bored. Newspapers are also welcome. Installed speakers do sound great only if you are willing to take the risk.

Appliances for comfort. Although patios and decks are situated outside of the house, air is fresh. However, there are instances when whether is unpredictable. When the air turns from comfortable to hot, air conditioning unit or electric fans would come in handy. You don?t want your guests to sweat endlessly because of feeling uncomfortable.

We receive our guests in the comforts of our homes, yet it should not always be in the premise of the living. Patios and decks are equally ideal just to break from the used-to-bes. As long as they have everything your guests needs to feel comfortable and at home, then there would be no problem with that.

(AP Photo/Nariman El-Mofty)

CAIRO (AP) ? The Muslim Brotherhood's surprise decision to field a presidential candidate is stirring fears that the two biggest powers to emerge from the ouster of Hosni Mubarak ? the Islamists and the military ? are maneuvering to put in place a new rule in Egypt not much different from the old, authoritarian one.

If they succeed in divvying up the most important positions in government, the new leadership could be a blow to the hopes for an inclusive democracy that drove last year's uprising against Mubarak. Opponents of the Brotherhood and military warn that the maneuvering could lead to a repeat of the Mubarak-era domination by a single party of all executive and legislative powers ? only now with an Islamist tinge.

The Brotherhood controls nearly 50 percent of parliament and dominates the constituent assembly that is in charge of writing Egypt's new constitution. Given its electoral strength, its candidate ? Khairat el-Shater, the Brotherhood's deputy head but in reality its strongest figure ? instantly leaps to front-runner status for the presidency in the May 23-24 election.

"We didn't have a revolution to end up with a dictatorship of the one party," said the head of the liberal Free Egyptians Party, Ahmed Said. "If el-Shater is president, will he rule in the name of the people or according to the orders of the Brotherhood?"

The decision to field the Brotherhood's strongman was a surprise even to many of its own members, some of whom have openly expressed disappointment that the group is breaking an earlier promise not to run. They worry the decision sacrifices the group's credibility for short-term gains.

Liberals and secular leaders are fuming the group has abandoned its repeated promise to share power and fear it could monopolize rule, thwarting hopes for democracy. They worry eventually the Brotherhood may try to impose greater Islamic law restrictions and impose a new ruling elite of religious conservatives. Already, for example, a female Brotherhood lawmaker caused a stir by speaking out against the 4-year-old ban on female genital mutilation.

The Brotherhood clearly sees the presidency as vital to protect its political gains.

Since Mubarak's fall, its plan has been to use parliament to wield authority, promote its long-term Islamist agenda, and ensure the new constitution gives greater powers to the legislature, weakening the president's overwhelming authority. Two months after it convened, the Brotherhood has discovered that the parliament it dominates has little power, its attempts to replace the military-picked prime minister with its own have been blocked by the military, and competing Islamists were making their own bids for the presidency.

Saad Emara, a senior Brotherhood figure, said that after its parliament election victory the group has a right to real authority, the presidency, to implement its program.

Mubarak's ruling party "controlled all powers without a popular mandate," said Emara, also a lawmaker. "If we get the presidency, and we have majority in parliament and we can name the government, there will be some kind of harmony in implementing the project we want to achieve for Egypt."

El-Shater's nomination is also a bold play in the Brotherhood's convoluted relationship with the military, which took power after Mubarak's fall. Each distrusts the other but neither can afford a confrontation, so they have been dancing around each other in both cooperation and competition for power.

The generals have not commented on el-Shater, though state media close to the military have more sharply criticized the Brotherhood as power hungry.

However, some observers believe the nomination could not have come without a nod of approval from the military.

"A tactical compromise is entirely possible," said Steven Cook, an Egypt expert with the Council on Foreign Relations. "There is not a tremendous amount of trust but there is a willingness to make deals for short-term political interests."

The generals' top interest is to have a president who preserves the military's long-standing privileges and powers, amassed over nearly six decades at the helm of Egypt's political system. The military is believed to have been searching for a credible candidate to back, so far without success.

In el-Shater, the Brotherhood have put forward a powerful figure who would firmly establish the group's authority if he wins. But he is possibly a figure the generals can deal with, seen by many as an extension of the Mubarak-era politicians with a strong business background.

El-Shater, 61, joined the Brotherhood in 1974 and built a business empire. With other Brotherhood members, he founded one of the region's most established information systems companies, which survived a crackdown by the Mubarak regime in 1992. His businesses range from an upscale furniture chain to manufacturers of menswear and buses.

He became the behind-the-scenes strategist and top financier of the Brotherhood ? as powerful as its supreme leader ? and was imprisoned by Mubarak for 12 of the past 20 years. He is known as a supporter of free market economics but also as a conservative within the group, who shies away from addressing women in the eye in keeping with Islamist modesty demands. Brotherhood members who worked close to him say he is more pragmatic than ideological.

Khalil el-Anani, an expert on Islamic movements, likened el-Shater to Ahmed Ezz, a business tycoon who helped restructure Mubarak's ruling party in the 2000s to empower young, business-minded members and boost the potential candidacy of Mubarak's son Gamal to office.

"El-Shater created power centers within the group which answer to him," said el-Anani. "He is a broker, a man that you make business with. ... He is a kingmaker who doesn't have charisma. The military can easily trust in someone like him."

Emara, of the Brotherhood, said the group's nomination is "a strong card."

"There is a balance of power on the ground," he said. "We absolutely don't want a clash (with the military)... But we are trying to reach some kind of accord."

He denied any closed-door dealmaking. But he suggested the two sides could find a way of living together. He said the Brotherhood accepts that the military keep the defense and national security portfolios, while the Brotherhood wants power to deliver on issues of restoring security and improving the economy, education and health services and could put aside for now its demands for a more powerful parliament.

The U.S. and Israel have has seemed unalarmed by his nomination, and U.S. lawmakers have been among a stream of foreign dignitaries meeting him in recent weeks. "It was a very interesting and enlightening meeting," said Republican David Dreier, part of a congressional delegation that sat with him for over an hour Monday. He said el-Shater addressed human rights, women's rights and rule of law.

Commenting on el-Shater, Israel's vice prime minister said Sunday the peace treaty is in the interest of any Egyptian leader.

Critics say the presidential bid shows the Brotherhood only aims to dominate. Many liberals, leftists and secular figures have quit the constitutional assembly to protest Islamists' control of its formation.

"They are flexing their muscles," said Ziad el-Oleimi, a lawmaker for the Egyptian Social Democratic Party. "Between them and the military council, each is trying to assume as much power as they can while sidelining all other forces."

Even within the Brotherhood, there is dissent over the decision to field any candidate. The vote in the Brotherhood's Shura Council over whether to do so was close ? 56 in favor and 52 against. Dissenters have formed a group called "A Brotherhood Cry" that has held rallies objecting to the nomination and demanding the right to vote for whomever they prefer.

"People view us as ... a group that seeks to monopolize power," said Gafaar el-Zaafarani, a young Brother and son of a former leader.

Moreover, if a fully empowered Brotherhood can't ease Egypt's multiple problems, the group's long-term position is threatened. "If we are in the front, we may fail and our failure be exposed. This is a disaster."

Hani Sabra, a Middle East analyst with the Eurasia group, said el-Shater's candidacy shows the emboldened Brotherhood "enjoys a slight edge" in the competition with the military, though tensions could boil over if the generals retaliate by putting forward their own candidate.

"But the fact that the Brotherhood fielded el-Shater illustrates that it essentially called the shots."

Same-sex marriage bill reveals differences - News | Orthodoxy ...

Peter Jean
2/4/2012

Differences within Christian communities over gay marriage are being brought to the surface by a Senate inquiry into a Greens bill to permit same-sex marriages.

Catholic Archbishop of Sydney Cardinal George Pell has made a submission to the inquiry supporting the traditional definition of marriage.

But two of Sydney?s most high-profile Catholic women ? Kristina Keneally and Clover Moore ? have put in their own submissions disagreeing with their Archbishop.

Christian leaders on both sides of the debate have been urging their parishioners to lobby MPs and senators on the same-sex marriage issue.

Cardinal Pell argued in his submission that marriage was a natural institution where a man and women gave themselves to each other for life in an exclusive relationship that was open to procreation.

?By contrast, although the community formed by a homosexual couple may involve genuine caring, affection and commitment to one another, it is not an inherently procreative community, because their sexual relationship is not designed to create children,? the Cardinal said.

?Marriage is not simply a loving, committed relationship between two people, but a unique kind of physical and emotional union which is open to the possibility of new life.?

Cardinal Pell said married couples who could not have children for reasons of age or infertility were still married because their sexual union was still designed to give life.

In a submission first published as an article in the magazine Eureka Street, former NSW premier Kristina Keneally said that taking a contrary view to church teaching was not a position she had come to lightly.

?It is formed by prayer, reading, and reflection. It gives me no relish to be at odds with my church,? she said. ?But it also gives me no joy to see people who are created in God?s image unable to fully express their humanity, or live with the rights and dignity that heterosexual people are afforded. I act in good conscience ? as a Catholic, I can do nothing else.?

Sydney Lord Mayor and independent state MP Clover Moore said federal parliamentarians needed to legislate for the 21st century.

?Many gay and lesbian couples have loving, caring and and life-lasting relationships. As a society we should value and support those relationships,? Ms Moore said.

Orthodox Christian bishops, who made a joint submission through the Episcopal Assembly of Oceania, said that they did not wish to use legislation to impose Christian ethics upon people who did not share their beliefs. ?Rather, our concern is that the very institution of marriage, which has a Christian tradition of two entire millennia, should remain as it is, and not be confused with the political debate concerning the legal status of same-sex unions,? the bishops said.

The Uniting Church?s Reverend Eileen Ray used her submission to argue that there was no biblical or other reason why two people who loved each other could not marry.

?Jesus lived at the time when homosexuality was openly practiced by the Roman occupier of Israel, but did not make one statement against the practice,? she said.

Grey seals consume as much fish as the fishing industry catches

ScienceDaily (Apr. 2, 2012) ? The grey seals in the Baltic Sea compete for fish with the fishing industry. The seals locally eat about the same quantities of cod, common whitefish, salmon, sea trout and eel as those taken by fishermen. This is the conclusion from research carried out at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.

Competing with the fishing industry

The grey seals in the Baltic Sea eat largely the same species and the same sizes of fish as those taken by the fishing industry. So even if the amount of fish eaten by seals is small relative to the total amount of fish caught in the Baltic Sea, the seals' dietary habits may have a major impact on the local availability of fish in the areas where they are common.

"If you compare the estimated consumption of fish by grey seals in their main range in Sweden, which is north of the Kalmar Sound, it is of the same order of magnitude as the total catch taken by Swedish professional and leisure fishermen in the same area," says scientist Karl Lundstr?m.

Increasing population of seals

The grey seal was common at the beginning of the 20th century, but was hard hit by hunting and by environmental toxins, and only a remnant remained in the 1970s. However, the seal population has grown continuously since the middle of the 1980s, and this has led conflicts with the fishing industry.

"The conflict has mainly centred on the way in which seals eat from and destroy fishing gear, but as the number of seals has increased the possible competition for food resources has come into focus," says Karl Lundstr?m.

Study of dietary habits

The scientists have studied the dietary habits of the seals in order to understand the role they play on the ecosystem, and how they influence the surroundings. This has been done not only by investigating prey remains in the digestive tracts of the seals but also by analysing the composition of fatty acids in their blubber. The fatty acid composition in the seals' blubber reflects the composition of fatty acids in the fish species that they eat, and can give an idea of the dietary patterns of the seals over a long period.

It became clear that the diet of grey seals differs between the northern and the southern Baltic. Herring was the most common food eaten by all seals, followed by common whitefish in the Gulf of Bothnia and sprat in the main body of the Baltic Sea. The diet of young seals differed from that of old seals, and the feeding habits of males differed from that of females.

"We have now developed useful methods and created a good starting point for further studies into the dietary habits of seals. We can also investigate the significance they have as fish-eating predators at the top of the marine ecosystem. By combining the methods that I have used with other techniques, it will be possible to increase our knowledge further. More closely focussed investigations in particularly interesting regions will also be needed, both for grey seals and ringed seals in the Baltic Sea and for common seals in the Kattegat and Skagerrak area," says Karl Lundstr?m.

This is the first comprehensive investigation into the diet of the grey seal in the Baltic Sea since the 1970s.

Broken piers, empty slips, substandard facilities and dirty grounds -- for many years that could describe the state's Kewalo Basin boat harbor. This appearance largely has improved over the last three years after a private firm was hired to manage the harbor. Rental rates and occupancy were boosted, and the state is awash in surplus income from the formerly neglected property in Kakaako.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) ? U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says Iran and six world powers have agreed to meet in Istanbul on April 13 for the latest round of talks about Iran's nuclear program.

Clinton made the announcement at a news conference Saturday following a security conference in Saudi Arabia. That conference focused on the nuclear program, which the U.S. and other believe is intended to develop nuclear weapons, and on military threats from Iran in the Persian Gulf region.

Iran and the six nations ? the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China ? met in Istanbul 14 months ago. But the talks ended after two days with the sides unable to agree on what to talk about.

Iran contends the program is solely for peaceful energy and research purposes.
