To determine practicing pediatric dentists' (PD) socio-demographic and practice characteristics, geographic distribution, levels of satisfaction and desire of relocation to the United States (US).
A 34-item questionnaire was developed and pre-tested for reliability (=0.92) and content validity, and administered via telephone by a calibrated interviewer. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSSv.19. PD practice locations were mapped using a geographic information system in ArcGISv.10. Disparities in distribution were measured by plotting the Lorenz curve and calculating the Gini coefficient (GC).
Of 75 licensed PD in Puerto Rico (PR), 60 (80%) participated in our study. The typical PD has been in practice 19 yrs, is 48 years old, and spends 31 hrs/week providing clinical care. Female PD are 70% of the workforce. Thirty-nine (65%) participate in the government-subsidized dental insurance program �La Reforma�, which represents 48% of their income. PD locate their offices in urban and higher-income areas (GC=0.62). Although 36 (60%) are satisfied practicing in PR, 34 (57%) have considered migrating to the US. Variables significantly associated (P.05) with dissatisfaction included age ( 50 years old), years in practice ( 20 years), and participation in �La Reforma�.
The supply and characteristics of PD must be monitored to ensure an adequate workforce. These variables should be examined in relation to epidemiological indicators, availability of community preventive programs, and adequacy of dental benefits and reimbursement levels provided by third-party payers. Dramatic changes in the financing of dental care may be necessary to prevent a shortage of PD and ensuing oral health crises.
Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: I have co-authored manuscripts on workforce issues.

I'm enjoying this story, but if it weren't JuNoWriMo, I'd be heavily editing already. I'm 7k+ words in, and I'm still in Chapter 1. And I also haven't even gotten Body #2 onscreen yet. I know there's no hard and fast rule about when/how that kind of thing is "supposed to" happen, but it still seems to me like I'm taking WAY too much time about it.
Building realistic suspense is hard, y'all.

Joey Logano added to Gillette Young Guns' roster
Published 12:00 am EDT, Thursday, July 9, 2009
For The Middletown Press
BOSTON -- The world's leading grooming brand announced Thursday it will heat things up this summer by adding recent NASCAR race winner Joey Logano, driver of the No. 20 Home Depot Toyota, to its elite group of Gillette Young Guns Drivers which includes Clint Bowyer, Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne and Ryan Newman.
Logano earned his rookie stripes from his fellow Gillette Young Guns during the filming of a new commercial to support the Gillette Optimal Shave indicator strip, which alerts consumers that it is time to change their blades when the strip color changes from blue to white.
The commercial features all seven Gillette Young Guns and highlights Logano as the latest addition to the roster of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stars.
The ads will begin airing during the broadcast of Sunday's LifeLock.com 400 from Chicagoland Speedway.
"Joey is one of the hottest drivers in the sport and we are pleased to welcome him as the newest member of the Gillette Young Guns," said Michelle Potorski, Associate Marketing Director, Gillette North America. "Our new commercial is about change -- whether it's reminding consumers to change their blades or adding a teenage rookie sensation to our Gillette Young Guns roster.
"We're proud to have Joey join the team and look forward to watching his career take off in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series."
In his first full-time year in NASCAR's highest level of competition, Logano became the youngest driver in the sport's history -- at 19 years, 35 days -- to win a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, taking first place at the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 in Loudon , N.H. June 28.
So far this season, Logano has recorded four top-10 finishes and currently sits atop the Rookie of the Year standings.
His surging popularity landed him one of racing's top honors when he was voted by the fans to drive in the NASCAR Sprint All-Star race at Lowe's Motor Speedway.
The 30-second commercial was created by BBDO New York and filmed in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The Gillette Young Guns program, now in its sixth year, continues to be a core marketing platform for Gillette.
Throughout its tenure, Gillette Young Guns drivers have combined for four NASCAR Cup Series Championships and four Daytona 500 victories, including Ryan Newman's historic victory at the 50th running of the Daytona 500 in 2008.

The Pettiness of Mike Miller
Mark Newgent
Is Mike Miller so powerless that in addition to being reduced to carrying water for the governor, he now has to play cheap games with members of his chamber, who dare to think differently.
No wonder Sen. President Mike Miller couldn't reach Sen. Jim Brochin to
give him the bad news. The night before the General Assembly session began, Brochin stuffed his ears with plugs and switched his cell phone off. Not that Brochin could have heard the ringtone anyway, what with all the racket at the Hannah Montana concert.
The 43-year-old Towson Democrat spent Tuesday night in a sea of shrieking tweens, among them, Brochin's 9-year-old daughter, Katherine…
How could Brochin possibly come back to Earth, much less the dreary business of legislating, after that better-than-The-Boss experience? All he had to do was play his messages late that night upon returning home. The Senate president had left one about Brochin's new seat assignment in the Senate chamber.
The gist, according to Brochin: This is Mike. Just wanted to let you know you're going to be sitting one row back, next to E.J. Pipkin.
The second-term senator's new seat is in the last row, where freshmen usually sit. (Under Senate Rule 115 (b), members are seated in order of seniority.)
Payback for vocally opposing the governor's tax package in last year's special session?
"Let's just say this: independent thought is not encouraged," Brochin said.
Miller did not return a call seeking comment…
You would think that after a judge just called him and Mike Busch on the "reprehensible nature" of their behavior, and their "egregious lack of judgment," Miller would show a little humility.
Then again, that is assuming the man has any at all.

The average American is understandably perplexed as to why Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and, of course, runner up in last year's Democratic primaries, Bernie Sanders, are so lathered up over the Republicans' recent overtures to the Russians. They are calling for the impeachment of Attorney General Jeff Sessions. They want a special prosecutor to look into President Donald Trump's relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. What has gotten into the Democrats? Why are they so bellicose toward Moscow?
What happened to détente? What happened to perestroika and glasnost? And how about their long-time fear of a "nuclear winter" and their longing for a "nuclear freeze"? The Democrats have always been big on mixing rhetoric with climate. Though admittedly, Putin and his fat cat cronies have changed over the years from the Soviets of old.
The old Soviet economy was something that Bernie Sanders and Pelosi and even the Schumer of recent edition could identify with. In particular Bernie, the socialist, had more in common with the Soviet system than with American capitalism. The Soviet economy certainly made more sense to him than the wild swings of the American economy that we have today. Think of it! The stock market is up 10 to 12 percent since Donald Trump was elected. The giant corporations and Wall Street are doubtless making a killing. Those animal spirits that make him uneasy are even returning to the middle class. Bernie tried to warn us but to no avail. Now Schumer and Pelosi have let out a yell.
I well remember the glowing praise of yesterday's progressives for the Soviet economy. There were, for instance, John Kenneth Galbraith of Harvard and Lester Thurow of MIT in the 1980s enthusing over Soviet prosperity just as Mikhail Gorbachev was about to come to power. Of course, today's alarums, sounded by the Democrats, about the Republicans' approaches to the Kremlin were not heard in the 1970s and 1980s, at least not from the Democratic leadership. Then they talked of peaceful coexistence. What about peaceful coexistence with Putin?
Jeff Sessions neglected to answer to the Democrats' satisfaction poorly constructed questions about two chance meetings he had with the current Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Sessions is in hot water. Though Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill, after tweeting that she has never met Kislyak, had to revise her tweets. Her own Twitter account revealed two meetings. Just like Sessions, she overlooked them. More recently, Leader Pelosi had to clarify her claim that she had never met Kislyak. A picture turned up showing her with him. In her clarification, an aide to Pelosi said, "She has never had a private one-on-one with him." Well, if it were a private meeting, I assume there would be no pictures.
On that occasion, Pelosi was actually meeting with the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. So Democratic bigwigs do occasionally meet with Putin's people. Which reminds me of President Barack Obama's embarrassment with outgoing President Medvedev. Without knowing his microphone was on, the Democratic President told Medvedev to assure incoming President Putin that, after the 2012 election, he would have "more flexibility" in dealing with the Russians. Medvedev agreed, though President Obama did not apparently find President Putin so lovey-dovey.
So now the modern Russians are not as clubbable as the Democrats found the Russians of the Soviet era. They are not even as agreeable as President Obama found them in 2012. Perhaps ordinary Americans, having read their history, can agree with me. These Democrats are mercurial. No wonder more and more Americans are coming to the conclusion that the country is in better hands with a real estate developer.

We need an independent fact-checking service

The health and behaviour of each and every one of us throughout the pandemic has been driven by the science, data and information used and shared by decision-makers.
To learn from this unique experience, the Royal Society of Edinburgh established the Post Covid-19 Futures Commission with the aim of using knowledge to power Scotland's positive recovery.
For 18 months, the data, evidence and science working group, which I chaired, has explored how we could enhance Scotland's ability to effectively use these three elements to prepare and respond to large-scale challenges, with the aim to enhance decision-making and our well-being. To do so, we explored public understanding of the terms "data, evidence and science" and discussed the help or hindrance they have on our actions.
We based our findings on conversations with varied groups to ensure we had an input from diverse voices and real experiences. We used workshops and specific outreach, including to young people and children who are often missed out, to gather a wealth of insight.
Understanding how science works enables people to understand the importance of the data and evidence which underpins that science and empowers us to make informed decisions.
We included perspectives from journalists and scientific advisers, who deliver key messages and who make and enable decisions. Within every discussion, one strong theme emerged: the need for clear, inclusive communication that engaged people across all sectors of society.
To build a basis for future improvement, we developed four recommendations for Scottish government and other bodies to consider.
Firstly, a national conversation is needed to ensure transparency, inclusivity and engaged participation in the gathering of personal data. How do we collect, store and ensure the security of data, as well as provide confidence that it will be used only for the public good?
Secondly, we should create a mechanism to improve education about science, increasing the public's understanding of what science is, how it works, and what its benefits and limitations are. Understanding how science works enables people to understand the importance of the data and evidence which underpins that science and empowers us to make informed decisions.
Thirdly a series of "science into practice" sessions should be created to increase awareness amongst groups such as special advisers, politicians or journalists who use data. This goes hand in hand with developing science communication skills for scientists and experts so that they can explain science, data and evidence in understandable terms across many audiences.
Finally, establish an independent fact-checking service, so that the scientific information being shared and used, particularly on social media, is accurate. This would provide the public with confidence that they can trust and rely on data used to underpin science-based decisions.
Having overseen this work from the outset, it is clear these actions will help increase public confidence, understanding and trust in how our data is used to ultimately inform decision-making.
By working together in an engaged, inclusive and transparent way, Scotland can be better prepared to face any future crises and trust that robust data, evidence and science will help to guide the way.

Amazon's vision for the future of in-store grocery shopping officially opened for business Monday morning — and it doesn't include food stamps.
The company's first Amazon Go store — a heavily branded, 7-Eleven-like store without cashiers — opened to the general public in downtown Seattle. Shoppers simply need an Amazon account, a recent-model smartphone, and the Amazon Go app, which allows them to order food or pick up items off the shelves, and then walk directly out of the store. Algorithms and sensors keep track of what they buy, and their accounts are charged accordingly.
However, the magic of Amazon Go can't be experienced by everyone. The store does not currently accept food stamps as payment, Amazon spokesperson Kerri Catallozzi confirmed to VICE News (Amazon-owned Whole Foods does, however). This isn't a total surprise: Amazon Prime only began accepting food stamps last summer, and it introduced a discounted Prime membership for food stamp-using customers. Catallozzi did not say whether or when the Go store would begin accepting food stamps.
The Go store was initially supposed to open last March, but glitches with the checkout technology delayed launch, according to the Wall Street Journal. For years, Amazon has been dancing around the edges of the grocery business — planning thousands of in-store locations across the country, and launching its own online delivery grocery service.
But last June, Amazon spent $13.7 billion to acquire the supermarket chain Whole Foods, which overnight in June made Amazon one of the biggest grocery players nationwide — and possibly changing Amazon Go from being a one-off experiment to laying the blueprint for what Amazon could do with its hundreds of existing Whole Foods locations nationwide.


BSkyB has won a five-year legal action against Electronic Data Systems (EDS) for deceit, negligent misrepresentation and breach of contract. The UK Courts found that EDS had lied to Sky in order to secure a contract as part of the company's investment in a new customer relationship management system.
In summer 2000, Sky appointed EDS to design, build and implement an advanced customer service system at its customer contact centres in Scotland. The relationship was terminated in early 2002 after EDS failed to perform its contractual obligations. As a result, Sky assumed direct responsibility for systems integration and subsequently completed the project. The legal action against EDS began in 2004.
The final amount of costs and damages will be determined by the Court in due course. However, based on the judgement, Sky anticipates claiming at least £200 million (E229m) from EDS – which is now part of Hewlett Packard .

Game Recap: Cowboys Get 20-16 Win at Vikings
Kurt Daniels
Editor of Dallas Cowboys Star Magazine / Dallas Cowboys Game Program
Admit it, Cowboys fans, you were spooked when you heard the news. But if the team was worried that star quarterback Dak Prescott would have to sit this one out due to his strained calf, they certainly didn't show it.
Behind a strong defensive effort and an offense that showed it could still move the ball, the Cowboys were rewarded with a last-second treat at the end of this Halloween night, a big 20-16 victory over the Minnesota Vikings.
With the injury to Prescott, backup Cooper Rush was pressed into his first career NFL start and he played the part of hero perfectly. Although pedestrian at times early in the game, he was there at the end, connecting with Amari Cooper for the winning touchdown pass with less than a minute remaining in the game.
For the night, Rush completed 60 percent of his passes for 325 yards and two touchdowns for a 92.2 passer rating. Both Cooper and CeeDee Lamb topped 100 receiving yards, totaling 122 and 112 respectively, with seven players overall recording a catch.
But for all the offensive fireworks, it was the Dallas defense that perhaps deserves the real accolades. As a unit, they held Minnesota's high-powered offense to only 278 total yards and just an eight percent conversion rate on third downs. They also held quarterback Kirk Cousins to just 184 passing yards. Leading the effort was rookie linebacker Micah Parsons, who was outstanding with 11 tackles, including 10 solo, and four tackles for loss.
After the first 15 minutes of play, the Cowboys showed they could go toe-to-toe with the Vikings even without Prescott. Dallas dominated the time of possession in the frame, 10:20 to 4:40, and had outgained the home team 93 yards to 79.
But Minnesota held the advantage on the scoreboard, 7-0, after the Vikings took the game's opening possession and drove 75 yards in seven plays to the end zone. Big plays did the damage with a 31-yard pass to tight end Tyler Conklin and a 14-yard pass interference penalty on Trevon Diggs. That led to a 20-yard scoring toss to a wide open Adam Thielen.
Of course, the Cowboys' cause wasn't helped when following a drive to Minnesota's 19-yard line, a sack on third-and-7 forced Greg Zuerlein try a 43-yard field goal. His attempt sailed wide left, Dallas unable to close the gap.
The Cowboys were on the move as the game shifted into the second quarter, the combination of Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard powering the offense from its own 5-yard line into Minnesota territory at the Vikings' 47. But an ill-advised pass down the middle into double-coverage resulted in an interception for Rush, ending Dallas' attack.
But Rush got the team going again on its next series and once again crossed midfield, reaching the Vikings' 20-yard line while eating up 6:25 of clock. Although unable to reach the end zone, at least Zuerlein was good this time on his 38-yard field goal to get the Cowboys on the board.
Unfortunately, Dallas then gifted the Vikings three points just before the half. The Cowboys defense appeared to have gotten off the field when it forced the Vikings to punt at their own 30-yard line. But a defensive offsides penalty gave Minnesota new life.
That was then followed by the Cowboys giving up a big 32-yard completion on fourth-and-inches at the Vikings' 44-yard line, again keeping the drive alive. Thankfully, Dallas did eventually stop the Minnesota march, but the home team converted a 45-yard field goal to go into the break with a seven-point advantage, 10-3.
Making matters seemingly worse, Dallas did get the ball back one more time before the half, but left tackle Tyron Smith, one of the best in the game, did not join the offense on the field. Battling an ankle injury suffered two weeks ago at New England, he did not return.
So with doubts only increasing as the Cowboys opened the second half with the ball, all Rush did was throw a strike down the middle to Cedrick Wilson on third-and-8 at his own 27-yard line. The receiver then juked his way past the Vikings defense to take it 73 yards all the way to the end zone.
And just like that, less than a minute into the third quarter, Dallas had tied the score.
In a bit of history, Rush's 73-yard touchdown pass was the longest by a quarterback making his first start as a Cowboy since Roger Staubach had a 75-yard touchdown pass against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sept. 21, 1969.
A swap of punts would give Minnesota good field position at its own 45-yard line and Cousins and his troops used it to their advantage. Although they would only gain 33 yards, that was enough to get a 40-yard field goal from Greg Joseph to retake the lead.
But Wilson wasn't done. Late in the quarter, he took a pass behind the line of scrimmage on the left side, rolled back to the right and then threw a beautiful pass on the run downfield to Lamb for a big 35-yard gain. That led to another Zuerlein field goal, this from 39 yards out, to even the score at 13 as the game headed into the final frame.
Penalties again proved costly for the Cowboys. Minnesota would take possession at its own 26-yard line with 7:46 to play and worked its way down the field, thanks in part to Dallas miscues. A roughing the passer penalty provided 15 yards and a first down with two unnecessary roughness calls adding another 18 yards and two more first downs. The Cowboys did manage to keep the opponent out of the end zone, but the Vikings still took the 16-13 lead after a chip-shot 24-yard field goal.
That left 2:54 on the clock for Rush and the Cowboys offense to win the game. He quickly hit Cooper on a pair of passes for a combined 51 yards and then got help with a couple of Minnesota penalties. Dallas worked down the field where it faced a third-and-16 at the Vikings' 25-yard line. That's when Rush dropped a pass off to Elliott over the middle, who powered his way down to the 5-yard line with just 56 seconds left.
And then Rush lofted a perfect pass to Cooper in the back left corner of the end zone, the receiver making a spectacular leaping, toe-tapping catch for the touchdown and improbable victory. With that, it was all treats, Dallas extending its winning streak to six games.

Yeah, I ended up going.
I didn't want to, especially since last year's event was only slightly better than the lame experience two years ago; where I waited in line for three hours and then had to leave empty stomached because I had somewhere to be.
But a recent stamp card rally requires a visit. Isn't that reason enough to go? By the way, all recent ramen reviews from Setagaya-ku are due to this stamp card. I'm a sucker for these promotions!
How about the idols? Maybe that is your thing?
Or the . . . pro wrestlers?
This is Yoshihiro Takayama, and by the sheer number of fans posing for photos, he must be quite well known.
His ramen, from the aptly named Stomach Hold, was downright miserable. Tasted like beansprout water, if that is a thing.
Also on hand was Ryukishin, straight from England! But wait, the shop is a chain in Osaka that opened a shop in London. Do they get to flaunt that at the show?
Apparently they do. Osaka-based blogger Friend's in Ramen describes it best; "a solid and refreshing if not-very-exciting chicken shio bowl."
Then I watched an "air ramen" competition and decided to go home.
My two less than stellar bowls might have something to do with the line length. I was all by myself, so I passed on the two hour lines for gyutan tantanmen from Sendai and Osaka Black, opting for medium sized lines instead. These events are slightly bearable if you go with a group of ramen nuts. Otherwise, skip them.


East-west interstates need a little more love. So how about the one I drive on every day?
Despite being a major east-west connector, I-70 is not one of the east-west interstates that fully crosses the country, stopping a good two states short of doing so. At what north-south interstate does I-70 terminate at its western end?
I-70 passes through the city limits of four state capitals. Name any.
The highest point on the entire Interstate Highway System is located along I-70 where it crosses the Continental Divide. What is the common name for the feat of engineering that carries I-70 through the mountains, saving drivers from having to traverse the even higher Loveland Pass on U.S. 6?
Notorious as one of only two locations in the United States where a two-digit interstate highway has traffic lights, what small Pennsylvania town is home to the eastern junction of I-70 and I-76?
In January 2014, a mile marker just east of the town of Stratton, in eastern Colorado, was replaced by the Colorado DOT with a slightly altered number following several thefts. What mile number was on the original, repeatedly pilfered sign?
I-70 formerly crossed the Mississippi River on a bridge commonly known as the Poplar Street Bridge, which also carries Interstates 55 and 64. In 2014, I-70 alone was transferred to a newly-opened bridge named, after nearly a decade of fighting in the Missouri Legislature, for what local sports star?
The official museum of the United States Air Force is located at this air force base in southwestern Ohio, partly named for a well-known aviation pioneer, which can be found just south of I-70.
East of the Rockies, I-70 largely follows the route of US 40, which itself was in many ways a replacement for an earlier roadway. What first federally funded highway ran from Maryland to Vandalia, then the capital of Illinois?
Name either state in which at least a portion of I-70 is tolled.
Portions of I-70 have been claimed both to be the first interstate in the United States and the last completed piece of the originally planned Interstate Highway System. The latter piece, finished in 1992, passes through which natural feature along the Colorado River between the Eagle River and Roaring Fork?
The eastern end of I-70 received a bit of attention in a 1999 murder case when the state's key witness testified that he and the defendant left the victim's car at a park and ride lot located at the highway's terminus. Who was the DEFENDANT in the case, made nationally famous by the podcast Serial?
The Alphabet Loop, a complex interchange of four interstates (I-70, I-670, I-35, and I-29) and four US highways in which every exit number is 2 and 23 of the 26 letters of the alphabet are used as suffixes, can be found in the downtown area of what city?

Q: How to make SQL server return last rows first in select not using order by I have a table with 350 000 rows. When i search top 50 i get the 50 oldest rows. Is there any way to make SQL server to start from the bottom so i get the last 50 rows that bin inserted?
We have some performance issue so i cant use any syntax that loop through all records.
If I add the order by Id it takes 14 sec instead of 1 sec. I use Dynamic SQL to solve the search functionality for dynamic table structure.

A:
"When i search top 50 i get the 50 oldest rows."

No, you get 50 rows. Period. 50 rows that your DBMS chooses to return. 50 more or less random rows.
If you want the 50 rows that were inserted last, you'll have to have a column that stores such information (InsertionDateTime). Then index it. Then you can run:
SELECT TOP (50)
    *
FROM
    mytable
ORDER BY
    InsertionDateTime DESC ;

A: If you have an IDENTITY primary key column, then you can order by that column descending (because that's the order rows are inserted, and the id is monotonically increasing)
SELECT TOP 50 *
FROM MyTable
ORDER BY IdentityColId DESC

Note: the fact SQL Server by default creates the clustered index on a table's Identity primary key column is not sufficient to guarantee ordering.

A: considering you have a IDENTITY ID column
select *
from YOUR_TABLE
where id > (select max(id) from YOUR_TABLE) - 50

EDIT:
If you don't have an ID, you will need to do something with row_number but them you will need an order

A: Add an "ORDER BY insertime DESC" (or whatever your yardstick for "old" is, sequential ID etc.)
on the end of your select. But yes, also check that you have decent indices set up. Use explain plan if you're not sure.

tv CNN Newsroom With Brooke Baldwin CNN December 15, 2016 11:00am-12:01pm PST
top of the hour, you are watching cnn, i'm brooke baldwin. thank you for being with me. any moment now we'll hear from u.s. secretary of state john kerry expected to deliver remarks specifically on the crisis in syria. this comes at a pivotal point in this five-year war. we will bring you secretary kerry's remarks and have much more on what's happening in aleppo and getting these men, women and children out of there. first, let's go to charleston, south carolina. a jury is is in hour one of deliberations regarding the fate of a confessed church shooter. was he a hate-filled coward who
wanted to start a race war? a man who despised black people or was he a suicidal loner, mentally unstable and radicalized online? these are the two characterizations that jurors listen to during these powerful closing arguments today in the death penalty trial of this young man accused of shooting nine black church goers at charleston's historic mother emanuel church. and here, the faces of the nine victims. pastors, aunties, mothers and fathers shot and killed in what prosecutors describe as a premeditated act of murder spurred by hate. imagine their families sitting in the courtroom crying and wiping away tears as the bodies of their loved ones are flashed on screen. let's begin with nick valencia who is in charleston with more on today's closing arguments.
and hour one with the jury deliberating. >> reporter: it was a very emotional day. i sat and listened to the prosecution and defense deliver their closing arguments. the defense for their part saying it's not a matter of who did this or what happened on that fateful day in june, 2015, but why. and he asked the jury, the defense attorney, david bruck for dylann roof, asked the jury to consider that. he also said something very interesting, brooke. he said his client might be delusional and that there's something wrong with his perceptions but of reality. you remember yesterday the defense attorney tried to call two mental health experts to the stand but that motion was denied. dylann roof, of course, found competent enough to stand trial. for the prosecution's part, it was an impassioned plea by the federal prosecutor saying that dylann roof needs to be held accountable for every single one of those shots. every single one of the 77 shots fired in that mother emanuel church. he at one point pointed to
dylann roof and said "there is hatred in this courtroom" as the image of the bloody bodies inside the church, the worshippers shot and killed allegedly by dylann roof, one juror started to tear up, another noticeably grimaced, there was audible sobs in the courtroom from the victims' family members. i sat directly behind dylann roof's grandmother who was flanked by a priest, she brought a priest into the courtroom and i was watching dylann roof, his reaction, his expressions as he listened to the prosecution paint him as a calculated killer. and as he's been for much of the trial, brooke, he was emotionless, expressionless, showing no remorse for what he's accused of. the only noticeable difference is that he wasn't in his prison-issued jump suit, he showed up in civilian clothes wearing a blue sweater and gray pants but was almost like a statue there, didn't motion or make gestures or say anything as the closing arguments were given out loud. brook. >> remember his mother had a heart attack last week. now the grandparents sitting in the courtroom and this shooter
emotionless. nick valencia, thank you, we'll stay in close contact if there is any news from the jr. but meantime, i want to tell you about the most chilling piece of evidence this jury heard. it was a 911 call from the survivor in the bible study room, her name is polly sheppard. she was the only person inside that bible study hall whose life was spared deliberately. so we'll play you this 911 call. i want to warn you, it is excruciating to listen to but it's an important piece of the story and the timeline, here you go. >> please, emanuel church, there's many people shot down here. please send someone right away. >> emanuel church. >> emanuel ame. >> there's people not? >> he shot the pastor and all the men in the church, please come right away. >> my partner will be getting
help on the way while i get more information from you. stay on the line with me. >> he's still in here, i'm afraid. he's still in here. >> where are you? >> i'm in emanuel ame church -- >> yes, ma'am, but where are you inside the church? >> in the lower level. >> you're in the lower level. >> where is the shooter? >> he's in the office. please send somebody right away, please. >> yes, ma'am, i've got officers enroute to you. don't hang up with me, stay on the line with me. stay as quiet as possible, do you hear me? >> yes, i'm under the table. >> what is your name, ma'am. >> polly sheppard. >> all right, miss polly, my partner is getting help on the way while i get information from you. you stay on the line with me. >> he's coming, he's coming, he's coming, please. >> did you see him at all? >> yes, he's a young 21-year-old white dude. >> okay. >> we've got people very hurt.
please. >> yes, ma'am. and you said -- were you able to see the gun? do you know what kind of gun it was? >> no. i don't know. i don't know anything about guns. >> okay. that's okay. and where are the weapons now? >> he's got it in his hand, he's reloading. >> how many shots has he fired? >> i don't know. there's so many. three different rounds of all kinds. god, please help me. please help us, lord. help us lord, please. jesus lord, please jesus help us. there's so many people dead, i think. oh, my god. >> you said there's so many people dead? >> i think they're dead, yes. >> when polly sheppard says she believes it was god who spared her life that night, she lost some of her nearest and dearest friends, i sat down and talked to miss sheppard a couple months ago in charleston. she said she had forgiveness in
her heart. here's what she told me. evil walked into the side door of your church. >> i had faith, that's why i'm still here. i prayed under that table and he left me here. so i -- i can't doubt him no time. >> is there a day that goes by that you don't think about what happened? >> i think about it everyday. everyday. >> do you remember the message of the bible study? was there a passage? >> mark 4:14-20. "stony ground, shallow ground. and good ground." stony ground is not going to grow, on shallow ground it dies real fast but on fertile solid ground, it grows. >> of all passages to be reading that night when he walked in there and he was hoping to plant these seeds of evil and hate and racist thoughts. >> didn't work. >> didn't work. >> he was in the wrong place. >> when you sit in those pews on a sunday morning, what does it do for you, for your heart, your
soul. >> i feel at peace in church. >> i've talked to a lot of people who have been in horrible situations and those who survive sometimes feel that why me? do you ever think that way? >> i often do, yes. it's something for me to do. i'm sure he'll let me know what it is. maybe i'm doing it already, i don't know. but it's something -- he wasn't ready for me yet. >> do you have a favorite hymn? >> my favorite is "when peace like a river atteattendet my la whatever my lot got has taught me to say it is well worth my soul." >> how often do you sing that or think that? >> i think it often. very often. >> she doesn't often like to
talk about what happened in that room but i am so grateful to you polly sheppard. let's have a bigger conversation about the case. i have legal analyst and defense attorney mark geragos and former prosecutor charles coleman, jr., gentlemen, welcome to both of you. charles, we know hour one the jury has this case and they're mulling it over. how long do you think it will take? >> honestly, brooke, i don't think it will take very long. at the same time they are considering 33 different counts and they have 33 different federal statutes many of them having to do with hate crimes so they may be going through the weeds to make sure that each of those they're able to convict on but i don't expect this to be a long or extended deliberation. >> mark, let's talk about closing arguments here. from the defense this attorney was calling this man suicidal, an impressionable loane loner, never grasped the gravity of
what he did. what narrative was the defense crafting there? >> look, david is probably one of the two or three best practitioners of capital defense and this has to be the most frustrating case in the world for him. not just because it's such a horrific crime but because he has so much trouble with his client trying to benched and brought back and then benched again and it's a horrific situation. i mean, this case literally takes the criminal justice system and pushes it to the edge. it really is probably the hardest thing you can do as a defense lawyer. what he wants to do, his strategy is here and he's done it capefulably in many other ca is he wants to set up -- he's not trying to win the guilt phase. this is looking towards the penalty phase and so what he's trying to do is set that up. he's looking towards that penalty phase and that's what ice frustrating for him.
if he's benched, comes back guilty and there is a penalty phased and he's benched and dylann roof is going to lead that penalty phase -- >> because he says he wants to represent himself, correct? i mean, during the penalty phase. >> correct. correct. and he's got a right to do it but you know the frustration of this but i've talked to the victims' families but it looks like most of them have incredible forgiveness. >> some of them don't want him to be put to death. >> right. and i think that what's interesting about this entire discussi discussion, there's so many different narratives between the prosecution and defense. it's right to the penalty phase of the trial. it's not about whether dylann roof was convicted. >> he confessed. >> he confessed. that's not what happened.
what's happening is a chess game to position dylann roof or characterize him in such a way that's going to determine the outcome of the penalty phase in this trial. >> so how does that work? just looking ahead, if and when there is this conviction of this first phase and you look ahead to the penalty phase, mark how does this lawyer who you say is phenomenal, how does he fight for his life given what he has done? >> he doesn't and that's what i'm sure is frustrating him because normally what he would be able to do is he doesn't -- it's not a who did it or who done it, it'ses may beally, you know, try to find some mercy and the problem is here that everything he would normally do to set up that second act or that second half, he's not going to have control of in the second half. so he's probably kind of -- i would assume geared that closing argument stoo-to-the fact that, look, i'm going to assume at least internally, i'm not going to be able to argue it so i'm going to set it up so when this
jury see this is kid they'll realize how deranged he is and maybe some of the things i said in the guilt phase will resonate with them by proxy or by example. >> mark geragos and charles coleman, let's leave it there. who knows when we could get this verdict. we'll stand by for that. i just want to read the names of the nine innocent victims who lost their lives and remember them today. cynthia hurt, susie jackson, ethel lance, reverend depayne middleton, dr. reverend clemente pinckney, the reverend daniel simmons, sharonda coleman singlet singleton, myra thompson and tywanza sanders. a source close to the trump transition says the president-elect is "concerned" about russia hacking during the election. this after months of dismissing the intelligence that points to moscow. those details ahead.
plus, a disturbing discovery in the mysterious crash of an egyptair jet back in may. we are now getting word traces of explosives have been found on the victims. stay here. this is cnn. thope to see you again soon.. whoa, whoa, i got this. just gotta get the check. almost there. i can't reach it. if you have alligator arms, you avoid picking up the check. what? it's what you do. i got this. thanks, dennis! if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. growwwlph. it's what you do. oh that is good crispy duck.

welcome back. you're watching cnn. a new cease-fire in aleppo is holding, at least for now. let me show you some pictures and tell you you are now looking at something the 50,000 people trapped inside the syrian civil war have prayed for. see these buses? a safe way out. these green buses and ambulance vans today were allowed to carry people out of aleppo, a city where bombs rained down again and again and again.
every single day. these pictures showing not only the long line of evacuation buses but the near complete destruction of aleppo. look at that. one of the world's oldest cities, a city that was once a thriving bustling metropolis. these pictures before and after an indication of the scale of ruin the city essentially flattened. but the safe passage out of aleppo is fraught with dangers. one convoy coming under attack by sniper fire and people inside this city are still begging the world to help them. a new video, one of the most heartbreaking yet, a plea from a group of or fphans inside of aleppo.
cnn's frederik pleitgen joins me now. he joins me now in syria. fred, tell me the latest on the cease-fire and we see the green buses. where are they going? >> forgive me. we'll be right back. i discovered a woman my family tree, named marianne gaspard. i became curious where in africa she was from. so i took the ancestry dna test to find out more about my african roots. ancestry really helped me fill in a lot of details. attention homeowners age sixty-two and older.

fred pleitgen is in syria. let's try this again. we see the buses trying to get out of town and out of harm's way. is that a successful effort? where are they going? >> it's starting to be a successful effort. a second convoy packed with civilians has just arrived in other rebel-held territories in syria so that convoy was conducted successfully. now all of this was called into question earlier today when the first convoy as it left came under fire. one person was killed several people were wounded. now it seems to be back on track
and seems to be working. the route it's taking is a good question, brooke. what happens is they leave the rebel enclave in aleppo, they have to go through government-held territory to move through another part of syria that is under the control of the opposition. you can imagine when the people are sitting on those buses they're vulnerable, they can get shot at any time, so it's a huge leap of faith they have to take to get on those buses in this volatile situation where you have guys on the ground on both sides who have been fighting each other fiercely for months and are being told stop the fighting, let these guys go through. >> it's life or death for them, fred. we saw syrian state tv 1ed 4,000 rebels and their families would be evacuated from eastern districts but you talked about government-held territory and holding their breath i'm sure but there there have to be fears of retribution on rebels wherever they're taken.
>> you're right and that's the case. when you look at the situation there in the aleppo area those people say they will be let out of these territories and allowed safe passage into other rebel areas but there were other areas they were swept by government forces before and in those areas there are reports by the united nations that apparently there were executions, they haven't been able to independently verify that but they said it comes from sources that have been telling them the truth in the past so there's huge concern and the united nations and the u.s. has told both the assad regime and the russians that it's on them. to make sure civilians are unharmed but that rebel fighters aren't massacred as well. especially in a civil war that's been going on for such a long time and has been so brutal for such a long time. >> waiting to hear from secretary of state john kerry. he'll be addressing this, we'll listen for that. fred pleitgen, thank you very
much. just into us at cnn, president-elect donald trump reacting to reports of russia hacking during the election. what a transition source is revealing to cnn about why trump is now expressing concern. meantime, would the president-elect consider lifting sanctions against russia? what two trump loyalists are doing in moscow and what they're telling certain circles about the possibility of sanctions being lifted. when a moment spontaneously turns romantic, why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain,

welcome back. you're watching cnn. in politics, let's talk about breaking developments this trump transition source telling cnn that president-elect trump is
quote/unquote concerned about intelligence agencies' findings that russia engaged in hacking during the u.s. presidential election. the source adds mr. trump and his team are also concerned the issue is being used to delegitimize his win. this is coming out as we were also learning not one but two trump loyalists have appeared in moscow. one a former georgia congressman jack kingston, he's talking with american business people there about the possibility of donald trump taking another look at those sanctions, the financial penalties were a punishment for russia's invasion of crimea in 2014. the other trump loyalist, carter pai paige, was asked by our moscow team what the president-elect plans to do about russia. >> he has huge interest in tackling the biggest challenges that the united states has. dealing with radical islamic terror and, you know, another diverse range of security
threats and also building up the economy. to waste so much time, effort, and resources towards an old battle that was from the -- before the 1990s makes no sense whatsoever. >> during the campaign, trump initially called page one of his foreign policy advisers. mr. trump's campaign manager later said page was no long we are the team. on the phone with me now i have lucian kim and lucian, we wanted to talk to you. you talked to congressman kingston. what did he say to you specifically on sanctions? >> well, on sanctions he wasn't extremely specific but what he did say is they've been in effect for two years and he asked rhetorical questions on whether we bought the desired results. >> do we know, lucian, who sent him to russia? was it on his own accord or did
someone direct him? >> well, it was not clear whether he was working on behalf of the trump campaign and transition team. it seemed that it was more in his capacity as an individual working for the law firms and he came to the american chamber of commerce and he came to tell business people what they could expect from the next administration. >> and what did he say? >> well, the conversation was not public. i did ask and he said the main message that he had for business people was the trump administration means there could be a new start in relations and it's probably time to have new relations. >> lucian kim in moscow, we have to go to the state department
and listen into secretary of state john kerry on aleppo. >> continued relentless and inexcusable attacks that have been directed at the civilian population in aleppo, including women, children, humanitarian workers and medical personnel. there is no justification for the indiscriminate and brutality against civilians shown by the regime and its russian and iranian allies over the past few weeks or indeed for the past five years in conversations over the past weeks and especially over the past 24 hours with the u.n. special envoy i talked with earlier today who was in paris meaning now and with senior officials from russia, qatar,
turkey, egypt saudi arabia and other countries in the region. it makes it difficult to secure a cease-fire but what they want in aleppo right now which is the precursor to move to other things is an immediate and verifiable durable cessation of hostilities and that includes all attacks by the regime, its allies and other combatants in aleppo. all combatants in aleppo and we've been working hard on that. we worked on that in hamburg in my meets with foreign minister lavrov where we reached some measure of agreement. in fact, considerable measure of agreement but weren't able to
secure every component of what was needed in order to move forward. we want safe passage, corridors of evacuation which were beginning today to see perhaps take shape we want full access for the delivery of humanitarian supplies for the people in need throughout syria and with these steps we are convinced that the killing could stop very, very quickly if russia and the regime made the decision to do so. this morning i was encouraged by reports that after a number of fits and starts what we worked on in paris and what we got picked up on in continued conversations which, by the way, we were informed of by russia
and turkey were going to take place to build out on what we talked about using the same semi-plait that template that we created. there are individual cease-fires being worked out, individual arrangements with armed opposition group commanders and it appears for some period of time at least we don't know yet if it will hold or where it is that air strikes and shelling have stopped and that the cease-fire may -- i emphasize may -- be taking hold. buses, some of them, and convoys are beginning to move and my understanding is that the first group of 21 buses and 19 ambulances reached its checkpoint. this convoy includes more than a thousand people on their way to the turkish border. however -- and this is a big however -- we have also heard reports that a convoy of injured
people was fired on by forces from the regime or its allies. and we remain deeply concerned as well that we are hearing reports of syrian men between the ages of 18 and 40 who have apparently been detained or conscripted into military service when trying to pass through government checkpoints and that some who -- of these went missing days or even weeks ago and we still don't have families, don't have their loved one, don't have accountability for what has happened to them. these acts are despicable and contrary to the laws of human decency. more positively, we have finally received pledges from russia that it will assist in the monitoring of evacuations that the international red cross and the syrian red arab crescent
will also be allowed access, in order help with the monitoring. the u.n. is prepared to receive evacuees in numerous sites and emergency relief kits have been pre-positioned to try to help people. medical assistance is also going to be available. the government of turkey is prepared to accept more evacuees for aid and treatment. so it appears that the necessary preparations have been made for the evacuation process that will eventually save lives but the implementation of that process continues to be dependent on the actions of the regime and its allies on the ground. let me emphasize, we're going to do our part. the united states of america is going to continue to try to push the parties towards a resolution. as president obama said the
other day in giving us all both his impressions as well as instructions about these next days, we're going to be trying every way we can to try to save lives and push this to where it needs to get to. to date we've provided by more than $6 billion in food, water, medicine and other supplies to people who have been affected by the violence in the region. and let me be clear, i've said it once and i'll say it again, what has happened already in aleppo is unconscionable. but there remains tens of thousands of lives that are now concentrated into a very small area of aleppo. and the last thing anybody wants to see and the world will be watching is that that small area turns into another srebrenica. it is imperative that key actors
step up and do their part and i call on the entire international community to exert pressure with all parties for the process that has been laid out for some period of time now. to abide by the cessation of hostilities and to bring the killing and the cruelty particularly starting with aleppo which lays the ground work to be able to take the next steps, particularly in aleppo. and we've been engaged in a lot of talks over an extended period of time and they have been geared in trying to end the civil war in syria. in september, after several months of tough negotiation, foreign minister lavrov and i were able to stand up at night and make an announcement in geneva that we arrived on agreement, september 9. and that agreement required a number of days, since everybody
know knows of calm in order to indicate the seriousness of purpose and then we were going to have joint cooperation to move forward. regrettably, syrian troops that were accidentally bombed and humanitarian convoy that was not accidentally but purposefully destroyed by assad to start with and others who joined in, it fell apart. and everybody feels the pain of the lost moment, the lost opportunity for exeternaltys that we did not apparently have control over. the process has not succeeded mostly, in my judgment because of the continued constant unwillingness of the assad regime to live by those agreements. to always press it, to always
brake out, to always try to gain more territory and to go out publicly not reaffirming its willingness to go to geneva and negotiate but always reaffirming publicly in one brash statement after another its readiness to take back the whole country to crush the opposition and to do everything without regard to the real underlying concerns of many people who want to be part of a legitimate, part of a legitimate process but fear that assad is not going to be their leader and that he would never be able to unite the country. that's what's fuelled us and kept it going. so we have arrived at another critical juncture. if aleppo falls completely and people are slaughtered in that small area, it will be even harder to be able to bring people around.
it won't end the war. the fall of aleppo, should it happen, does not end the war. there's still the challenge of governing and reuniting the country and rebuilding the country. and how many countries will step up and rebuild it for the policies that are being executed today? so provided by we are able to stabilize the situation in aleppo, it is essential that we move forward at the earliest possible moment with a syrian-led political process aimed at ending the war and transitioning to a new and more representative government. and without that meaningful transition of power in which the voices of the syrian people are heard, the opposition will continue to fight. terrorists will continue to be drawn to the country. and millions of syrians will continue to be forced to flee their homes. so here i want to emphasize that every single party i've spoken to in recent days, in paris last
week and from here in washington this week, as recently as this morning, every stakeholder tells me they are ready and willing to get back on the path to geneva and that includes the legitimate syrian opposition, it includes turkey, qatar, and the arab state states, it matter to whether or not syria is willing to stop this slaughter of their own people. so let's be crystal clear about who bears responsibility for what we have seen and what we are seeing and continue to see in syria. we're seeing the unleashing of a sectarian passion allowing the assad regime -- not allowing -- the assad regime is allowing and
the assad regime is aiding and abetting and the assad regime is carrying out nothing short of a massacre. and we have witnessed indiscriminate slaughter not accidents of war, not rat clal damage but, frankly, purposeful. a cynical policy of terrorizing civilians. so we believe this is a moment where the syrian regime and the russian military have an opportunity to make the decision to -- a strategic decision, i might add, for peace. one that will make it possible for a cessation of hostilities all across syria which could flow right out of this. every minister i've talked to said we're for a cease-fire
country wide. but you have to be able to deal with aleppo to legitimize getting to a country wide effort. and in addition to that everyone has reconfirmed to me their readiness to go to geneva for discussions aimed at putting an end to this horrific war. so that's the only way that anybody i've talked to with any common sense and any strategic vision says you can end this war. it will take negotiations. and they haven't taken place in all of these years any real negotiations. but all of the parties have now told me with the exception of what we haven't heard from assad himself and his willingness to go out and actually negotiate in good faith. and try to bring syria back together. that's the only way towards a united and peaceful syria that is reflected in resolution 2254
as well as in the issg statement which is include russia and iran. so hopefully people will put actions where the words have been. >> thank you, sir. >> thank you very much. >> appreciate it. thank you. >> reporter: mr. secretary, do you have any response to reports that putin himself was directly involved in election-related attacks? do you think the administration should have come out before the election more boldly with hard intelligence about these attacks? >> well, let me -- look i am not going to start making comments at this point publicly because of the job i do but let me say today that i'm not going to comment on anonymous reports from intelligence officials that
are not identified that have quotes around the concept of intelligence officials. i'm just not going to comment on that. but let me comment specifically on your question about earlier e. folks, we sat in the situation room, i remember in the white house from the president of the united states and the president made the decision. the intelligence was presented to everybody and he did have abon an obligation to go out to the country and give a warning and he did so, back in october the president authorized the director of national intelligence to -- and the department of homeland security together to make a very clear statement to this nation. to our nation and they said u
unequivocally with high confidence that the russian government directed compromises of e-mails from u.s. institut n institutions including political organizations and that these thefts and disclosures were intented to interfere with our election process i won't comment on it further except to say that people need to remember that the president issued a warning but he had to be obviously sensitive to not being viewed as interfering on behalf of the candidate or against a candidate or in a way that promoted unrealistic assessments about what was happening. i think the president did that and now we have to get at the facts and i'm confident we will in the months ahead. thank you very much.
>> so let's start there. you talked about a lot, specifically syria but i want to pick up his points on russia and involvement in presidential election. i have a justice correspondent pamela brown standing by, a.b. stoddard is here, associate editor and columnist for real clear politics. pamela, you heard the secretary of state not commenting as he did on anonymous sourcing as he did on that report out today. is i so we've heard that putin was aware of these hacks even before the statement outing russia and saying that people in the senior most positions in russia were aware and authorized those hacks during the election of, of course, the clinton chairman john podesta as well as the dnc. but at this point there is no hard evidence or hard
intelligence, brooke, end skating pskat -- indicating putin's involvement from several officials that we've spoken to across the board. so it's unclear how involved he is but there's no doubt that he was aware of the hacks during the election that there was authorization at the highest levels, of course, moscow continues to deny this. in fact, a spokesman for the kremlin called this funny heresy. but despite the repeated denials from moscow, the belief is that putin was aware of the hacks, brook brooke. >> now the president-elect says he is concerned about russia's involvement and feel this is would delegitimize his victim. is it not possible for trump to acknowledge the hacking and still hold on to a valid win? >> that's exactly right.
none of these intelligence agencies are suggesting that some kind of russian interference in ballot boxes in michigan turned this election for donald trump. this goes back to the intelligence agencies' finding to 2018 that russian state acto actors. he believes russian actors were getting into the dnc and hacking materials as far back as over a year ago. and then we have this revelation in june about the dnc e-mails that were problematic for the democrats because it shows they were looking for hillary to win and they were basically favoring hillary over bernie sanders and then, of course, you had the john podesta e-mails leaking out
which trump repeatedly referenced on the trail. this is not about him not winning the election fair and square. it's about the interest russia had in trying to make hillary clinton look bad through the release of these e-mails, both the dnc ones and john podesta's account and it did and polls show in addition to the james comey letter. these revelations to wikileaks which donald trump thought was campaign fodder for his rallies throughout late october and early november were damaging. and so that's the argument here, it's not that it's the inkering with the numbers on november 8 the months preceding and the campaign that led up to election day. >> back to vladimir putin, we know he's denied, denied any of these reports that russia was involved in any sort of interference. but we did talk to outgoing democratic senator harry reid who said this.
>> his being former head of the kgb, does that surprise you? does it surprise anybody today when he denied it? >> so that was the senate minority leader pamela and you're reporting on no hard evidence of direct involvement but how -- once an investigation is complete, once the dots are connected, how might that change the equation moving forward. >> well, you know, they don't use e-mail and go to great lengths to cover their tracks talking about psycher espionage operations like what you saw during the election but when you put the pieces of the puzzle together that was enough for the cia to go to congress and say look, we believe with high confidence that not only do we believe putin was aware but that russians were working to help
donald trump. but that's not stopping president-elect trump from tweeting today just as early as today saying if russia or some other entity was hacking, why did the white house wait so throng act. why did they only complain after hillary lost. you're hearing that from the trump side. that the white house are trying to undermine the election results. >> but you heard secretary kerry say i sayi saying it was back in october and they were saying they had high confidence russia was involved but they couldn't do more to play politics in this election. pamela and a.b., thank you so much. so much more to explore on all of that and to the secretary was talking about about syria putting the blame on assad's shoulders and the russian military. let's move to charleston, south carolina. we have news here.

Heaven is 'a fairy story
by C1ay | May 17, 2011 7:09 AM PDT
The concept of heaven or any kind of afterlife is a "fairy story," famed British scientist Stephen Hawking said in a newspaper interview this week.
"I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail," the physicist said in an interview published Sunday in Britain's Guardian newspaper. "There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark."

unless someone can make a ghostly appearance on the evening news for an interview next to their own body.
Yep, can't prove negatives....
And since you can't prove that Leprechauns or fairies don't exist then we must concede that maybe they do. We can do the same about Santa and the Easter Bunny too, huh? In fact the list could go on to infinity. Just make up as many things as you want and you can argue that all of them are possible since no one can prove they're not. Sound logical to you?
As I said, faith in anything isn't logical.

"Soul" isn't a problem for those who take the
Bible seriously.
"And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Gen 2:7, KJV
So man doesn't have a soul, he is a soul; a physical being.
It doesn't live on in an 'afterlife', it dies because of sin.
"Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die." Ezek 18:4
The non-Biblical religions created the soul- a 'core part of man that doesn't die'. It's useful in recruiting, if you convince the acolyte that his core part will be punished eternally if the group's rules and rulers are disobeyed. The Bible OTOH presents one punishment for sin: death, not 'life in eternity'. Romans 6:7,23. And that punishment is for disobeying the Ruler and his Rules.
Hawking, like so many others, has picked up the popular wisdom without checking the sources for himself. "Shoemaker, stick to thy last."
He does have one thing right: The computer/man/body/soul stops working after a while (if war, disease, or accident don't interfere). Resurrection, another topic entirely, is the only 'cure' for death.
So heaven is for people who are afraid of death?
