existence of god, not even fundamentalists tend to lead off with a story about the empty tomb or the textual reasons why the bible is probably written by the creator of the universe. what you hear from people on every point of belief is religion is the only way to think about morality and human values in universal terms. obviously atheists can be as immoral as any religious person. there are many other reasons to thinks that morality is not best gotten from religion. i will talk about some of those. i am to discover it is not an entirely empty claim because there are many smart people, well educated people in the scientific community, in the academic community more generally, to seems quite confused about how there can be such awho seems quite confused about how there can be such a thing and moral truth. battlers at a conference talking about the link between morality and human well-being and i said the moment you notice human well-being is dependent on the laws of nature or states of the human brain you notice there are right and wrong ways to maximize it. we will understand this more as sc

what are those non-textual items that israel would like? and netanyahu i think from my understanding, and i've had this confirmed by, you know, this morning just to people, i think it's clear that he made, gave secretary hillary clinton a verbal assurance that during the 90 days they would be meaningful progress on the territorial issues. now, what's new here is a little bit that security issue is now going to be kind of, kind of, i don't know what the best word is, but it would be dealt with peril between the u.s. an issue. i don't think the u.s. would negotiate anything with the israelis at the palestinians cannot accept, but i think you'll be a parallel set of agreements. i think that prime minister netanyahu is very emphatic how important the security dimension was in the u.s.-israel relationship, as you can imagine that no surprises there. but i think the u.s. has a clear verbal commitment of netanyahu that there will be progress. as rob pointed out, and as i said, others of you, i don't think anyone believes in 90 days. no one believe

i'll be looking into a commitment to the whole idea of textualism. this old-fashioned notion that our laws consist of words and our words have meaning, meaning that if ignored that if bastrdized will lead to anarchy. and that's what will guide me. >> senator elect, who do you perceive in the senate will be an ally of your pledge to examine every piece of legislation based on this constitutional litmus test? >> well, we've got a few there already who feel this way, including -- and i want to be very careful here that i don't run afoul of the express problem. so this is a ceg reference only. [applause] >> it worked well on the campaign trail i'm sure. >> yes, it did. that was the other promise we had, no latin. but i said look, i can geek out all i want on this one. these are my people. [applause] so my c.e.g. references would include jim demint from south carolina and tom o coburn from oklahoma, among others. and among the incoming freshmen class they would include again, among others, rand paul from kentucky. rand andry going to be great friends. i l

existence of god, not even fundamentalists tend to bleed off with a story about the empty tomb or the textual reasons why the bible is probably written by the greater university. what you hear from people on every point of the spectrum of belief is that religion is the only way to think about morality of human values and universal terms. now i used to think that was an entirely empty claim because obviously atheists can be moral. atheists can be as moral as any religious person. and very many other reasons to think that morality is not as cut and from religion. and i'll talk about some of those. i've come to discover that it's actually not an entirely empty claim because they are many very smart people, many very well educated people the scientific community and the academic community more generally, who are quite confused about how they can be such a thing as moral truth. and i give you an example that has really been seared on my brain. and my motivating this writing my book to some degree. i was at a conference i was talking about the link to the morality and human well-being. and i said t

2009, and it actually requires us to put in place graphic warning labels with new text messages -- textualing. so we're starting a process to select the graphic images that will go with those warning messages to help people understand the serious health consequences of smoking. and hopefully to help them stop smoking or never take it up in the first place. >> is there any research that proves this would be more effective than the warnings that are already on cigarettes or even the commercials and ads that we see often that show real-life people who are battling for their lives as a result of smoking? >> well, as you know, the consequences of smoking are horrendous. it's the leading cause of preventable death in this country. almost 500,000 people a year die from smoking-related deaths. it costs our health care system about $100 billion. it's a serious, serious problem. we need to take a range of actions to address it and graphic health warnings is one. and we know that it does have an effect, but it's part of a constellation of approaches that need to be taken. >> that's very interesting.

what are those non-textual items that israel would play?and netanyahu for my understanding, and i've had this for more than two people, i think it's clear that he may have given secretary hillary clinton a verbal assurance that during the 90 days, they would he meaningful progress on the territorial issue. now, what is new here is a little bit of the security issue is now going to be kind of -- kind of item with the password is, but will be done in parallel between the u.s. and israel. i don't think it will give israeli is something the palestinians can't accept, but it will be a parallel set of agreements. i think prime minister met matthew that halliburton was in the u.s.-israel relationship as you can imagine, no surprises there. but i think the u.s. has a clear, verbal commitment on netanyahu that there'll be progress. as rob pointed out to my site to others of you, i don't think anyone believes the 90 day -- no one believes the 90 day material issue, even though these have been out there. but i think there's a commitment on meaningful

more textual, more verbal, more towards aggression or social advertise, rumor spreading, gossip and thelike. we're also seeing that involved in cyberbullying tends to peak during middle school, grades six through eight. that's not without exceptions, but for the most part. this also makes sense to us. we think about elementary school being about attitude testing again to feel for the school environment. we think about high school where you're getting more self-confident, in baltimore extracurricular activities, and i don't know but your own stories but for me middle school was worse. i was extremely concerned about what ever thought about me and. perceptions largely dictated myself worth. so it when they were making fun of me in a variety of ways. kids tend to really internalize the harm that comes from bullying in cyberbullying at that age. and then finally most victims of cyberbullying know are at least thinking out who the cyberbullying's. so maybe we think about the internet we initially think about stranger danger, but that's not all the case when you're considering cyberbullying.
