How do I post final grades as a moderator for a moderated assignment with multiple graders?
When an assignment is set as a moderated assignment, the moderator can use the grade summary page to view all grades awarded by one grader and compare them to grades awarded by another grader. If anonymous grading is enabled for the assignment, the names of the students, graders—or both—may be displayed anonymously, respectively.
You can select grades directly in the grade summary page. If a submission has only received one grader from one grader, you can bulk apply all grades from that grader. However, if a submission has received multiple grades from multiple graders, grades for each student must be selected individually.
Moderated assignments are automatically hidden in the Gradebook, and students cannot view any comments or grades until final grades are posted.
- Moderated grading is currently a course opt-in feature. To enable this feature, learn how to manage feature options in the course features lesson.
- Moderated grades can only be managed directly through the grade summary page.
- Students can only view comments in the submission that is selected for the final grade; they cannot view comments from any other provisional grade reviews. If you want to include any comments from additional reviewers, you will have to copy the comments manually into the submission selected for the final grade.
- If a grader uses Canvas DocViewer annotations, students can only view the annotations in the assessment that was selected or copied as the final grade. In copied reviews, students can view the original reviewer's annotations as well as any annotations added by the moderator. Please note that if instructor annotations are marked as anonymous, instructor annotations and comments will not include the name of the instructor.
- Once grades are released, the grade in the Grade Summary Page page cannot be changed; all content is considered read-only for historical reference. However, after final grades have been released, grades can be changed in the Gradebook, if necessary. The Gradebook History page records all grade changes in the Gradebook and can be accessed at any time.

If a grader grades a submission that has already been graded by another grader, the Accept button for those graders will be grayed out, as one or more submissions have grading conflicts that you must resolve and assign an individual grade.
- Accepting grades for a grader cannot be undone. However, you can change a final grade assigned to a student by assigning a custom grade, if needed.
- If the Accept button does not display in the page at all, all graders have graded multiple student submissions, and all final grades must be selected individually.
Select Individual Grades
If a submission has received multiple grades, select the final grade for the student by clicking the Final Grade drop-down menu and selecting the preferred grade.

Peter Foster, Chinese website slams Rio Tinto 'espionage' , Daily Telegraph, Aug. 10, 2009. I was recently asked to consider further four questions concerning the arrest of Rio Tinto executives. The
An article published on a website controlled by the Chinese State Secrets Bureau also claimed that large amounts of "intelligence and data" had been found on Rio 's computers following the arrest of four Rio executives on spying charges last month.
The report on baomi.org, a publishing affiliate of China's national secrets watchdog, accused Rio of "winning over and buying off, prying out intelligence... and gaining things by deceit" during critical annual negotiations over iron ore prices.
1. Is the Rio Tinto's espionage case purely a commercial wrongs prosecution or might it be characterized in political terms as the Chinese government's revenge for the failure of Chinalco's purchase of Rio Tinto's asset, or as an indication of the rise of nationalism in the country? This question may most usefully be considered in three parts, each of which is briefly treated in turn.
The first is internal to China and deals with the application of political discretion in the prosecution of the laws of China. Prosecutorial discretion has become an increasingly controversial issue, not just in China, but in the West as well. The issue of prosecutorial discretion has become a matter of concern in international bodies as well, the International Criminal Court, for example. In this sense, China is no different from other states. However, because of its history, exercise of such discretion becomes a sensitive issue, especially where political crimes may be asserted against foreigners conducting ordinary business in China. The issue becomes more complicated in China where traditionally economic and political criminality were viewed as equivalent. But the Chinese have been moving diligently to a more conventional view of distinctions between political and commercial activity, based in part on the theories of Deng Xiaoping and its development through increasingly elaborated ideological development through the CCP. It was quite sensible for Chinese prosecutors to choose to proceed on the basis of the economic rather than the political character of the activities. Of course I have no basis for knowing the strength of the allegations or the likelihood of the success of the prosecutions.
The second is external and deals with the issue of Chinese-Australian relations. Both Chinese public and private investors, like other investors from foreign countries, have been frustrated with Australia's system of review of proposed in-bound foreign investment. From an Australian perspective, of course, the regulations are meant to protect Australian resources and economic development from hijacking by foreign public or private interests. From a Chinese perspective, though, the process might permit the Australian government to use the inbound investment process,especially when invoked by a Chinese state owned enterprise, as a means of effecting foreign policy rather than internal economic objectives. That might certainly be a reasonable view of the intensity of the Chinese frustration (by the state apparatus, the CCP and Chinalco) with its efforts to invest in a foreign natural resources entities. Indeed, it was reported today that as a consequence of the recent activity Australia is to ease its inbound investment review rules to fast track more applications by roughly doubling the minimum.
The third is cultural and deals with the issue of mass politics in China and its effects on both internal economic policy and external relations. Recall that these prosecutions have arisen not merely in the context of the somewhat difficult relations between China and Australia (on the one hand) and Rio Tinto and Chinalco (on the other hand). From the time of the development of the Harmonious Society (和谐社会) and Scientific Development (科学发展观) principles the Chinese state apparatus has been deeply involved in the issue of corruption. Anti corruption campaigns have sought to target all social, political and economic institutions--including the CCP itself. In that context, to the extent that economic crimes touch on corruption, there is bound to be a reaction that could be understood as nationalist. But, in a sense, the prosecution of the foreigners might also be a distraction from the continuation of the great work of Chinese officials against domestic corruption precisely because prosecutors chose to act against executives whose company is involved in a high stakes commercial transaction with a Chinese state owned enterprise. In this sense Rio Tinto is itself a great distraction even in campaigns against corruption by foreign individuals.
2. While China is quickly becoming an important player in the global business arena, might the Rio Tinto Executives' arrest and prosecution signal some sort of Chinese "pushback" by insisting that Chinese domestic politics factor into the management of free trade reghimes? It is hard to guess at the meanings that the Chinese State intended by the decision to prosecute the Rio Tinto employees, Certainly, it is reasonable to assume that some sort of pushback was intended when seen from outside of China--China was dealing with what appeared to be a political problem in the in-bound investment review by the Australian government, the entity seeking to make the investment was a state owned enterprise acting in accordance with a general mandate developed by the State Council and Rio Tinto appeared to continue to do business as usual within China. Other states have infused their domestic politics into the free trade game, the United States is no exception. But the problem is that the way China chose to act , at least in the foreign eyes, was far more aggressive than what would have been expected from another state in similar circumstances. And thus the fuss. Chinalco is not the state or part of its political apparatus. To conflate state owned enterprises and the business of the state apparatus makes for difficult issues of harmonious relations with foreign economic interests.
3. Has the Chinese media, in reporting the legal case, legitimately raised the issue of "multinationals' lack of legal responsibility"? Ought the issue of legal responsibility be grounded on a policy of legal rules that separate political and economic action? The issue of corporate responsibility, and especially the responsibility of multinational enterprises has been much in the press lately. It serves as a convenient scapegoat and distraction from the larger issues involved. On the one hand Chinese society remains sensitive to its position in the world in the context of the long period of quasi and partial colonialism through which it struggled in the 19th and 20th centuries. There is thus a great sensitivity to issues of equal treatment in general and special treatment for foreigners in particular. But the operation of multinational enterprises has become an issue of global concern. It is not clear that multinational enterprises operate in China in any way that is more disadvantageous than multinational corporate operations anywhere else. As Chinese multinational enterprises and state owned industries begin to engage in more economic activity outside of China, these entities will become the multinational corporations seeking to exploit other peoples. Like other states, Chinese officials will likely become more sensitive to the element of mutuality in the regulation of foreign elements within the national economy. On the other hand, in a world economy in which governments increasingly participate in markets like private persons, and multinational corporations are increasingly vested with regulatory authority in their relationships with suppliers, labor, and vendors it has become more difficult to separate political from economic matters. I have suggested that though it is more difficult to do so,the separation is useful and might still be effective if directed to the type of activity that is the subject of investigation rather than the character of the entity the is acting. In the economic context, activity that regulates the conduct of others is public and political, activity in markets is private and economic.
4. In the aftermath of the arrests, relations with Australia have been significantly affected; to what extent are these reactions likely to have permanent effect? It is one thing to make business more difficult for individuals from a non cooperative state; it is quite another to put those executives in fear of arrest without a better developed framework for understanding what is lawful and what is not--from conversations about market conditions to the engagement in due diligence investigations in connection with a commercial transaction, especially one that requires substantial investigation of the financial condition of a company that may be purchased. As a rule of law state, it makes sense for China to provide guidance for foreigners seeking to participate in Chinese economic and commercial life and to ensure that administrative officials adhere to those guidelines. The difficulty for China is that it will be very easy for that impression to become a consensus opinion among the foreign investment community in the wake of the Rio Tinto prosecutions that China is not moving in that direction. Chinese officials might find it useful to reassure foreigners about its intentions. The best way to do that, of course, is to develop rules and understandings about what precisely would constitute the sort of conduct that could lead to prosecutions under either the economic or political statutes and what sort of conduct would not.
I suspect that we have not seen the end of the consequences of the Rio Tinto executives arrest and prosecution. These events may serve as a catalyst for consideration not merely of the shape of state to state relations, but of the way in which state enterprises operate abroad, foreign investors engage in transactions with state enterprises, and the management of the intersection of state policy in the economic sector and public interventions in private markets through state enterprises. For a discussion of the way that these issues have become important in the development of sovereign investing in China, see, Larry Catá Backer, Sovereign Investing in Times of Crisis: Global Regulation of Sovereign Wealth Funds, State Owned Enterprises and the Chinese Experience(August 4, 2009), Transnational Law & Contemporary Problems, Vol. 19(1) (forthcoming 2009).

Robert Tharp was born in 1913 to British missionary parents in the Jehol Province of Manchuria. Evangeline (Eva) Kok was born in 1914 in Yunnan, China, to Dutch missionary parents. In 1918, the family moved to Peking (Beijing), where her father served as the First Chancellor of the Netherlands Legation in China. Eva attended the Peking American School, graduating in 1931. She then attended the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, and returned to China to perform mission work after graduating in 1936.
Starting in 1934, Tharp did full-time missionary work in China, with Eva joining him after they married in 1938. After the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941, when Japan gained control of Manchuris, Tharp was jailed for nearly eight months while Eva was placed on house arrest. After his release the Tharps worked in New Delhi, India, as a liaison between Chinese and Indian citizens, and then for the British Ministry of Information monitoring Chinese transmissions and writing counter-propaganda. The Tharps returned to China as missionaries after the war; but fled in 1949 as communist forces advanced across the country. Their escape took over a month, after which they were able to travel to San Francisco, California.
In the U.S., the Tharps were almost deported, as they were unable to clear up issues of citizenship, but on the day of their deportation Tharp received a position at the Army Language School, now called the Defense Language Institute. He taught Chinese there for three years, before accepting a position on the faculty at the Yale Institute of Far Eastern Language, where Eva received a teaching position as well.
The Tharps eventually returned to the San Francisco area, where Eva opened a popular takeout restaurant, Eva's Jyaudz Factory, and in 1976 Robert opened the first Mandarin Chinese restaurant in Monterey, the Old Peking. Robert Tharp also wrote an autobiographical novel about his and Eva's experiences in China, They Called Us White Chinese, which was published in 1994 by Eva after Robert passed away in 1993. Eva continued to correspond with friends and former students until she became ill in January of 2004, and passed in August of that year.
The Robert and Eva Tharp Collection consists of items related to both Robert and Eva's family and experiences in China, their careers in the United States, and the publication of They Called Us White Chinese. The collection is divided into five series: Family and Personal Materials (1924-2002), Friends and Colleagues (1943-2000), Mission Work and Professional Employment (circa 1930-1989), They Called Us White Chinese (circa 1920-2004), and Publications (1902-1996).
Series I, Family and Personal Materials, consists of ephemera. photographs, articles, personal narratives, mendicant chants, correspondence and genealogical information written by or related to the Tharps and their family members. Also included are the Tharp's passports, driver's licenses, and applications for United States visas and citizenship.
Series II, Friends and Colleagues, consists of correspondence and articles written by or about Tharp family friends and colleagues, usually discussing their experiences in China.
Series III, Mission Work and Professional Employment, consists of materials related to both Robert and Eva's various mean of employment and their mission work. This includes the Inland China Mission, Robert's work in shipping cases and importing cars into China, his work as a Chinese professor, and Eva's Jyuadz Factory.
Series IV, They Called Us White Chinese, consists of photographs used in the book, and correspondence sent to Eva by readers ordering additional copies, talking about the book, and sharing their own stories of living in China.
Series V, Publications, consists of advertisements for books by other Old China Hands, as well as articles and books collected by the Tharps related to China and the Peking American School.

Linda Woodhead's recent article The government's changes to faith schools sides with hardline religion draws attention to the fact that public attitudes to religion favour dogmatic extremists at the expense of more liberal and accommodating faith traditions.
The context is the Government's plans, recently announced, to remove the 50% cap on selection by religion for faith-based free schools and academies. The Prime Minister, she tells us,
is responding to lobbying by religious leaders against a cap on faith-selection which was designed to safeguard diversity and avoid mono-faith schooling…
This represents a shift away from the ideal of state-funded faith schools serving the whole of society to one in which they serve only the children of the most committed and active members of a religion.
Woodhead then appeals to recent research, including her own, showing that most believers do not accept the teachings of their religious leaders. Catholics are more liberal than Catholic church leaders, Anglicans are more liberal than Anglican leaders.
Nevertheless successive governments have sought to accommodate the views of religious leaders as though they represented the views of their members. Exemptions to the 1975 Sex Discrimination Act have allowed religious bodies to discriminate against people on grounds of gender, sexuality and religion. The Cameron government, with its 'quadruple lock', forbade the Church of England to conduct gay weddings.
Mass printing and advertising, Woodhead argues, has produced a worldwide growth of fundamentalism that seeks
to 'purify' religion, boiling it down to a small set of timeless textual propositions, and pursuing a holier-than-thou moral puritanism.
With help from the media, the British government keeps reinforcing it.
Both are willing to accept the claim that the most sexist, homophobic versions of a religion are somehow the most authentic.
The result is a vicious circle:
Hardliners drive out moderates; religion becomes more dogmatic and illiberal; more moderates leave; religion becomes the preserve of a shrinking, illiberal minority.
So politicians and lawyers, trying to respect the views of religious minorities, end up 'dancing to the tune of the hardliners' and violating the conscience of religious majorities to protect the rights of religious minorities. It was not always so easy to get it so wrong:
When religion was part and parcel of British life it was harder to pull the wool over people's eyes. In today's majority 'no religion' society we need to be more careful. Growing ignorance about religion does not have to mean growing gullibility. More critical discernment is urgently needed.
To mass printing and advertising we can add social media: simple soundbites and slogans can be persuasive. Religion-by-soundbite tends to be dogmatic because it has to keep things simple.
This suits some religious traditions. Even before the Reformation some church leaders were arguing that the Bible is directly revealed by God and therefore transcends all human reason. It follows that it should be accepted as it is, without question or analysis. Hence 'the clear, plain teaching of Scripture' that we still hear about in some Protestant circles. Catholicism has equivalents.
This is the dogmatic principle, that has its own logic. Divine revelation transcends all human reason. What we learn from it we know with absolute certainty. Anybody who disagrees is certainly wrong. It follows that all our methods for learning from each other and discussing our differences are useless. As a result, everybody lives in their own faith bubble, unable to share ideas in any rational way with people who live in other faith bubbles or outside all bubbles.
For parents who believe that, it makes abundantly good sense to send their children to schools that live entirely within their own bubble: so, for example, Catholics want to send their children to Catholic schools with Catholic teachers and Catholic children in the playground, as they would if listening to non-Catholics and learning from them creates the danger of being led astray.
Of course there are other reasons why parents want to send their children to faith schools, but many do believe it is their religious duty to live in one such faith bubble. For those who do, the logic of 100% faith schools is impeccable.
The trouble is, it is complete and utter nonsense. Religious liberals know that there is not a single religious doctrine, Christian, Jewish or Muslim, that was ever directly revealed by God independently of human thought. Everything we believe is mediated through human minds, our own and those of our teachers.
All our learning and knowing depends on rational processes. It is our reason that enables us to listen to people we disagree with, think through the differences and seek resolutions of our disagreements. Sometimes, when the dialogues turn out this way, we change our minds. It is the gift of reason that enables us to live in harmony with those of other faith traditions.
This is why, in my view, it is a big mistake to fill a school with children from a single faith tradition. They are more likely to grow up thinking that their tradition is the only legitimate one. This will incline them to become dogmatic in their turn and demonise other faith traditions.
If there are lots of parents who want their children to be kept away from children of other faiths, one wonders about their own faith. Are they feeling threatened? Do they want to protect their children against challenging questions, in case they develop ideas of their own? Are they more concerned to be left undisturbed in their sectarian bubble than to consider whether their beliefs are true?

today marks the 20th anniversary of world aids day. in spite of strides made in the fight against aids, hiv/aids remains a worldwide health crisis. in 2007, according to the centers for disease control, the estimated number of persons living with hiv was 33.2 million worldwide, of this number 2.7 million people were newly infected.
locally, I have heard stories from friends who practice primary care medicine about how in the last couple years they have seen more new cases of hiv, especially among teens, than in years past. this is very disturbing. we must continue to promote education and awareness on how to prevent infection.
longer than the observance of world aids day has been another project which has raised awareness of aids. in 1987 the aids memorial quilt project also known as the names project began. the names project honors and celebrates the lives of people who have died from this devastating disease. to date this is the largest community arts project in the world.
over the years I have seen many panels of the quilt. the experience has always been tremendously moving and the stories told through these lovingly created panels never fail to bring me to tears. in 1996, I was in d.c. the last time the quilt was displayed in it's entirety. I know I took photographs but apparently I didn't put the photographs in an album. locating loose photos that were taken over twelve years ago, well, forget it. the image above was snagged from the internet. to read more about the names project go here.
From the point of view of the pharmaceutical industry, the AIDS problem has already been solved. After all, we already have a drug which can be sold at the incredible price of $8, 000 an annual dose, and which has the added virtue of not diminishing the market by actually curing anyone.

The desire of a 25-year-old ex-convict, Yaw Boateng, for a meal of chicken has landed him in the grips of the law. He told the Sunyani Magistrate's Court 'B' presided over by Mr Albert Zoogah that he attempted to steal a cock to prepare a meal because he could not afford the GH¢6.00 for a fowl.
The court has therefore sentenced Boateng, a farmer, to a fine of GH¢96.00 for attempting to steal the fowl at Nsoatre in the Sunyani West District in the Brong Ahafo Region.
He will go to jail for three months with hard labour if he defaulted on the payment of the fine.
Boateng, who was convicted by the same court for a similar offence early this year, was also ordered to pay a compensation of Gh¢50 to the complainant for strangling the fowl.
Chief Inspector Grace Coffie told the court that the complainant's nephew, who is a witness in the case, saw Boateng with the cock under his armpit and coming out of their kitchen.
She said Boateng dropped the fowl and bolted but upon examination, the fowl was found to be very weak as it had been strangled.
The prosecutor said the witness went to inform the complainant.
She said Boateng was spotted not far from the complainant's kitchen and he tried to bolt again but was arrested and handed over to the police.

Thomas Perry Stewart was born on February 21, 1923 in Camilla, Georgia. The son of the late Perry Stewart and Jo Camp, Mr. Stewart was preceded in death by his wife Peggy Smith Stewart.
Tom Stewart was a graduate of Stetson University with further degrees from Peabody College and the University of Georgia.
As Coach Stewart, he coached football in Quitman, where his team won the 1949 state championship. He was Georgia coach of the year in Bremen in 1952 and also coached in Dublin from 1953 to 1958. His players contributed to Dublin's first two state championships in 1959 and 1960. While he was not coaching, Stewart was one of the team's biggest cheerleaders.
Mr. Stewart was principal of Dublin High School from 1958 until 1971, Assistant Superintendent 1971-1972 and Superintendent from 1972 until his retirement in June 1983.
Tom Stewart is the epitome of a member of the Greatest Generation. After returning home from the war he served his community in many, many ways. It was what Mr. Stewart and millions of men like him that made them the Greatest Generation.
Mr. Stewart was a member of First Baptist Church for more than 60 years. He served as a Deacon and Sunday School teacher. He loved his church, his family, all his many students from Dublin High School and the city of Dublin where he made his home and quietly served his community. A Life Member of the Kiwanis Club and a Hixon Fellow, Mr. Stewart is the co-founder of the Bell-Stewart Scholarship Fund to encourage high school seniors to pursue education as their career choice.
Stewart served on the Laurens County Library Board, volunteered with Meals on Wheels, taught at the Chester prison and worked for the teachers and children of Georgia through the Professional Association of Georgia Educators.
In the early 50's, he operated the city pool in Dublin and I believe, taught many children how to swim.

Sri Lankan asylum seeker Daxchan Selvarajah refused bail in Macquarie University sex case
""There is, in my view, a strong likelihood of further offending."
Peter Bodkin
The Daily Telegraph
March 07, 2013 1:56PM
A SRI Lankan asylum seeker had been out of immigration detention for eight days and had been living in university accommodation without authorities' knowledge when he allegedly sexually assaulted a sleeping female student.
A magistrate this afternoon ordered Daxchan Selvarajah, 21, to remain in custody on charges of breaking into the woman's unit at Macquarie University and indecently assaulting her early on February 21.
During a bail application today, Parramatta Local Court was told the Sri Lankan national, who is living in Australia on a bridging visa, was released into the community on February 13 after about five months in a Queensland detention centre.
Selvarajah was required to notify immigration officials if he moved from the Auburn address he was initially living at, but within two days he began staying with a friend at the northern Sydney university without their knowledge, the court heard.
Six days later he allegedly broke into the 20-year-old woman's unit and slipped his hand down her pyjama shorts before she awoke and screamed – causing the attacker to flee.
About 55 asylum seekers were living in the student accommodation under a Red Cross scheme at the time of the alleged assault.
Suspect arrested despite Macquarie Uni. Sex Assault attempted cover up?..........
Asylum Seeker Attack :The Union/ GetUp funded Federal Labor Green Loon Independent minority Co Party Government has placed 80 illegal immigrant males next door to teenage female students. WHY?
Sydney Australia, Labor's Malmo in the Pacific?
Defence lawyer Greg Barns today said the charges would be "vigorously fought" despite fingerprint evidence allegedly linking Selvarajah to the crime scene.
He said there was a possibility his client's fingerprints had been illegally obtained in breach of the Migration Act.
David Keegan, from Settlement Services International, which had been providing the asylum seeker financial support and "basic casework", said the 21-year-old had left the Auburn property after having a "falling out" with another person living there.
He said if Selvarajah was released on bail he would live at a Toongabbie apartment complex where SSI housed asylum seekers and would receive an allowance of about $441 a fortnight from the organisation.
"He (would be) free to leave at any time, but that is the same for any other person unless they're incarcerated," Mr Keegan said.
"He is in a position where there is a considerable economic incentive for him to remain at the address provided for him by SSI."
But magistrate Michelle Goodwin said the case against Selvarajah was strong and the asylum seeker had no links to Australia "whatsoever".
"Of concern to me is the lack of any ties to the community by (him) and, most importantly, the protection and welfare of the witnesses in this matter," she said.
"There is, in my view, a strong likelihood of further offending."
She refused bail for Selvarajah, who appeared in court via a video link from Silverwater prison.
The 21-year-old will return to court next month.

Love Island lothario Kem Cetinay was twice the man he was two years ago as these school pictures reveal
Essex boy Kem hasn't always been so buff
LOVE Island star Kem Cetinay wasn't always the buff muscleman he is now.
The Essex hairdresser has had to work hard to achieve his toned physique and has made no secret of his body transformation.
On his Facebook page, Kem has kept his pals up to date with his progress and, in 2013, he had none of the muscle mass he has now.
But a year later, he'd achieved his goals and the 21-year-old proudly put up before and after pictures of his torso.
He captioned the pictures: "Just over a year transformation. Hard training and dieting and seeing my goals."
Other pictures from Kem's Facebook profile show him as a fresh-faced boy at school.
And it seems he was quite the ladies man then, cuddling up to a brunette friend before grinning next to his mates.
More snaps show Kem living it up at his 16th Birthday party which was packed full of his family and friends.
Another reveals his childhood bedroom, with a wall of football trophies lined up above his bed.
The sweet pictures show Kem in a completely different light to how he appears now.
Full of confidence in his Love Island promo video, the celebrity barber even joked he was the kind of man with a "love them and leave them" attitude.
Kem said: "I think if you were to ask people who know me, they'd say, 'Be careful because he might bin you after one date'.
"And it's true because if it's not working, I will just walk off. I don't want to waste my time or the girl's time, I can't bring myself to do that."
Kem has joined the line up of singletons vying to win the £50,000 prize pot.
The show - which has been hailed by host Caroline Flack as the best yet - starts on Monday June 5.

Discrimination is always high on the agenda at the Society for Personality and Social Psychology's conference, where
It was identified by Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist at the
"This is a statistically impossible lack of diversity," Dr. Haidt concluded, noting polls showing that 40 percent of Americans are conservative and 20 percent are liberal. In his speech and in an interview, Dr. Haidt argued that social psychologists are a "tribal-moral community" united by "sacred values" that hinder research and damage their credibility — and blind them to the hostile climate they've created for non-liberals.
"Anywhere in the world that social psychologists see women or minorities underrepresented by a factor of two or three, our minds jump to discrimination as the explanation," said Dr. Haidt, who called himself a longtime liberal turned centrist. "But when we find out that conservatives are underrepresented among us by a factor of more than 100, suddenly everyone finds it quite easy to generate alternate explanations."
Dr. Haidt (pronounced height) told the audience that he had been corresponding with a couple of non-liberal graduate students in social
"I consider myself very middle-of-the-road politically: a social liberal but fiscal conservative. Nonetheless, I avoid the topic of politics around work," one student wrote. "Given what I've read of the literature, I am certain any research I conducted in political psychology would provide contrary findings and, therefore, go unpublished. Although I think I could make a substantial contribution to the knowledge base, and would be excited to do so, I will not."
The politics of the professoriate has been studied by the economists Christopher Cardiff and Daniel Klein and the sociologists Neil Gross and Solon Simmons. They've independently found that Democrats typically outnumber Republicans at elite universities by at least six to one among the general faculty, and by higher ratios in the humanities and social sciences. In a 2007 study of both elite and non-elite universities, Dr. Gross and Dr. Simmons reported that nearly 80 percent of psychology professors are Democrats, outnumbering Republicans by nearly 12 to 1.
The fields of psychology, sociology and
"If a group circles around sacred values, they will evolve into a tribal-moral community," he said. "They'll embrace science whenever it supports their sacred values, but they'll ditch it or distort it as soon as it threatens a sacred value." It's easy for social scientists to observe this process in other communities, like the fundamentalist Christians who embrace "intelligent design" while rejecting Darwinism. But academics can be selective, too, as
"Moynihan was shunned by many of his colleagues at Harvard as racist," Dr. Haidt said. "Open-minded inquiry into the problems of the black family was shut down for decades, precisely the decades in which it was most urgently needed. Only in the last few years have liberal sociologists begun to acknowledge that Moynihan was right all along."
Instead, the taboo against discussing sex differences was reinforced, so universities and the
"Thus," they conclude, "the ongoing focus on sex discrimination in reviewing, interviewing and hiring represents costly, misplaced effort. Society is engaged in the present in solving problems of the past." Instead of presuming discrimination in science or expecting the sexes to show equal interest in every discipline, the Cornell researchers say, universities should make it easier for women in any field to combine scholarship with family responsibilities.
Can social scientists open up to outsiders' ideas? Dr. Haidt was optimistic enough to title his speech "The Bright Future of Post-Partisan Social Psychology," urging his colleagues to focus on shared science rather than shared moral values. To overcome taboos, he advised them to subscribe to National Review and to read Thomas Sowell's "A Conflict of Visions."
For a tribal-moral community, the social psychologists in Dr. Haidt's audience seemed refreshingly receptive to his argument. Some said he overstated how liberal the field is, but many agreed it should welcome more ideological diversity. A few even endorsed his call for a new affirmative-action goal: a membership that's 10 percent conservative by 2020. The society's executive committee didn't endorse Dr. Haidt's numerical goal, but it did vote to put a statement on the group's home page welcoming psychologists with "diverse perspectives." It also made a change on the "Diversity Initiatives" page — a two-letter correction of what it called a grammatical glitch, although others might see it as more of a Freudian slip.
In the old version, the society announced that special funds to pay for travel to the annual meeting were available to students belonging to "underrepresented groups (i.e., ethnic or racial minorities, first-generation college students, individuals with a physical disability, and/or lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered students)."
As Dr. Haidt noted in his speech, the "i.e." implied that this was the exclusive, sacred list of "underrepresented groups." The society took his suggestion to substitute "e.g." — a change that leaves it open to other groups, too. Maybe, someday, even to conservatives.
Because of an editing error, the Findings column on Tuesday, about political bias among social scientists, omitted the last four words of a sentence that countered the notion that female scientists face discrimination and various forms of unconscious bias. The sentence should have read: But that assumption has been repeatedly contradicted, most recently in a study published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by two Cornell psychologists, Stephen J. Ceci and Wendy M. Williams.

Donald Trump has been in office all of 10 days and has already made good on his threats to all of humanity worldwide - reversing advances we have made to civil liberties, women's rights, environmental protections and more. His actions have been met with unprecedented protests in the streets, and thousands across the world have joined in solidarity. De-Bug folks were out in DC, in San Jose, all over the Bay and have been fighting back in the streets, organizing with marginalized communities and creating art to give voice to the sentiment of rising up together – following more often than not a womyn's lead to steer the course of history towards justice. Below is a glimpse of that coming together and what we can expect to see in a resistance that is as needed as it is inspiring. What you will see is a compilation of videos and images from the Women's March in DC and the Bay Area, written accounts of what it was like to be there, art inspired to lift up everyday resisters, and songs that reflect on the moment.

Steeda Mcgruder was in prison when she was pregnant with her daughter Malaysia, and eventually gave birth to her while incarcerated. She then went in and out of jail, and after transforming her life and breaking the cycle of incarceration, is now running a support group through the county for recently released women as well.
Often times the story of family, community, and future prospects of someone entangled in the criminal justice system is not fully introduced into the discussion of charges and sentencing.

The coaches completed their line-ups as the second battle round of The Voice 2016 finalised the 32 acts for the forthcoming knockout rounds.
Here are 15 other things we noticed while watching this week's show.
1. We opened and closed this week with the only two singers in this series who earned a full set of coaches' turns. Former Liberty X singer Kevin Simm survived after Ricky Wilson used his final steal on him, while Beth Morris, the first contestant we saw this year, saw off Chuggington voice artist Steve Devereaux.
2. Both Kevin and Beth were on Paloma Faith's team, underlining how effective she has been in winning competitive pitches.
3. Kevin performed Jennifer Hudson's Spotlight. Both singers found fame on TV singing competitions: Kevin on the original UK series of Popstars, the Oscar-winning Hudson on the third series of American Idol, where she finished seventh.
4. There was a more contemporary slant than usual to this week's song selections, with nothing from before 1970 and half of the 12 tracks coming from 2003 or later.
5. Only two of this week's 12 songs were UK chart-toppers: Years and Years' King and Gnarls Barkley's Crazy. The latter was also the UK's best-selling single of 2006.
6. Vangelis got the better of Melissa Cavanagh on the pair's performance of U2's One. The song has charted three times in various guises: the original reached number seven in 1992, Mica Paris crept into the top 30 with her cover three years later, while Mary J Blige duetted with U2 in 2006, peaking at number two.
7. Mia Sylvester and Janine Dyer paired off on Christina Aguilera's Ain't No Other Man. Aguilera has been a coach on the US version of The Voice in six of its ten series, including the current one which started last week.
8. Tom Rickels outperformed Colleen Gormley on Wham's Everything She Wants. It's the lesser known half of a double-A side with Last Christmas, which was kept off the top of the chart only by the original version of Band Aid.
9. We had back-to-back battles involving tracks by singers who have performed the theme to James Bond films. Gladys Knight sang 1989's Licence To Kill, while Sam Smith's Writing's On The Wall was the theme for last year's Spectre.
10. There were more female singers this week than male (13 versus 11) but the boys were more successful overall, accounting for eight of the 14 qualifiers. Of the seven male versus female battles this week, five were won by the male contestant.
11. Did Paloma have the strongest team overall? It seems so. Four of the eight steals came from her team (including both of Ricky's), so ten of her original team of 12 remain in the competition – only Steve and Megan Reece have been eliminated. Boy George has eight, while Ricky and Will.i.am have seven each.
12. True to form, Will was the last coach to use his final steal, just as he was the last to complete his 12 in the blind auditions. However, whereas he has always been the last to fill his team, this is only the second time he has been the last to steal.
13. Just as last week, none of the steals involved contestants who had appeared in the first three blind auditions. Episode four provided half of the eight steals overall, the sixth audition two and shows five and seven one apiece.
14. Statistically speaking, the opening blind audition proved to be the strongest overall across the two battle rounds, providing the winner of six battles (and only two losers) – no other show produced more than four. By contrast, the fourth audition provided just one winner out of seven, although four were saved by coaches' steals.
15. The final 32 who will contest the qualifying round comprises 18 male and 14 female acts. Could we be heading for a third consecutive male winner?

There comes a time in every busy pet owner's life when conflicting obligations lead you to entrust your beloved fluff ball to another human.
These arrangements are often informal and largely unregulated, but they are not without risks — for both parties.
What if the dog and the sitter don't get along? What if your best friend's cat uses your shag rug as a litter box? Then there are the more spectacular cases. The dog who bit off the dogsitter's housekeeper's toe. The erratic walker who, a lawsuit charges, may have traded a dog for drugs.
All of them happen from time to time in New York City. We know. We asked. Here is what people told us.
Failing the Basics
For five years, Lauren Abramson sent her dog, Madison, to a canine day camp. The man who ran it picked up the dogs in a van and took them to parks. One afternoon, Ms. Abramson, a math teacher, got a call. "The first thing he said to me was that my dog was stolen out of his van."
Ms. Abramson raced back to the Upper West Side of Manhattan to look for her dog. She filed a police report. A friend went around putting up fliers.
She was outside her building when the man from the dog camp called. "He said: 'Could you just go up and check? Maybe I forgot to pick her up.'"
He told her that he had had a medical procedure that morning. "I think he might have been a little bit of a marijuana smoker," Ms. Abramson said. She went upstairs. "Sure enough, there is my dog, lying on the bed."
Impossible Instructions
Danielle, a petsitter in Brooklyn, was hired to look after a regular customer's guinea pig and her newly acquired cat. The owner instructed Danielle — who spoke on the condition that her surname not be used, to avoid further conflict with the owner — to keep the new cat locked in the bathroom. It was summer. There was no air-conditioning in the bathroom. Danielle left the tiny window cracked open. Flies got in, infesting the cat's food. Then came maggots. Then a lot more flies.
The bathroom was unfit for feline habitation. Danielle said that she told the client she needed to let the cat into the rest of the apartment, and that the client said O.K.
But after the woman returned, Danielle recalled, "she tells me the cat destroyed her rug and couch, and there's flies everywhere." The customer, also upset with Danielle's guinea pig care, refused to pay.
Unusual Outings
Not long after Shoshana Perry and Noel Wiggins of Park Slope, Brooklyn, adopted a husky named Roxy, they left her with a sitter who seemed particularly fond of the breed.
When the sitter brought Roxy back, he excitedly showed them a heavy wood-and-metal contraption that simulated a dog sled. He had hooked Roxy up to it and made her pull it across the grass in Prospect Park every day, in the summer heat.
"He thought that all huskies wanted to do this as part of their breed," Mr. Wiggins said. "And he thought they were answering the call of the wild to do it."
Roxy did not seem traumatized by mushing boot camp. "She seemed to like it," Ms. Perry said. Still, she added, "We were a little uncomfortable with him."
Avoiding the Worst Fear
Valerie Petrov has been sitting a friend's aging retriever for years. Now, though, the dog is 16 or 17, "not really decrepit in any way, but she's slowing down." Recently, when the owner asked Ms. Petrov to watch the dog for the weekend, she lied and said she had plans.
"I have no heart to say to him: 'I'm sorry, your dog is really close to death. What do I do if something happens?'" said Ms. Petrov, an administrator at Lincoln Center. "I feel like a terrible friend."
Where Did She Go?
On Sept. 13 in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn, a dog walker was walking a Lhasa apso named Riley and two other dogs. He told Riley's owners that he was concentrating on one of the other dogs, and when he looked back at Riley, "it was just a collar at the end of the leash," said Scott Van Genderen, one of the owners. Riley is still missing.
Such stories occasionally have happy endings.
Last year, Bridgid Egilmez's babysitter was out with Ms. Egilmez's infant daughter and dog and stopped in at Macy's in Downtown Brooklyn. She left the dog, Mirabelle, a shih tzu-poodle mix, tied up in front of the store, Ms. Egilmez said. When she came out 10 minutes later, Mirabelle was gone. After a two-month social-media campaign, a dog-rescue volunteer spotted an ad on Craigslist from someone who said the dog had been found in Bay Ridge, six miles away. It was Mirabelle, safe and sound.
A Sitter's Delayed Confession
In the early 1990s, 13-year-old Caleb Sayan was growing up in the East Village and had a spotted rat named Spunky. Caleb went off to summer camp, and Spunky stayed with a friend of his mother's.
"I didn't find out until I got back that Spunky had escaped," said Mr. Sayan, now 38 and a digital archivist. The rat, he was told, was never found.
Young Caleb was devastated, his mother, Andrea Aranow, said last week. "This was maybe his first experience that adults are not infallible," she said. "He was used to thinking you turn something over to a grown-up and you can count on them."
Caleb, it's Andy, your mom's friend.
Your rat died at my apartment. I'm sorry.

DNA Shows Warren Harding Wasn't America's First Black PresidentPosted in Articles, Health/Medicine/Genetics, History, Politics/Public Policy, United States on 2015-08-20 01:47Z by Steven
DNA Shows Warren Harding Wasn't America's First Black President
The New York Times
Peter Baker, Chief White House Correspondent
WASHINGTON — Bill Clinton was called the first black president because he crossed racial lines so easily, a distinction he lost when Barack Obama became the first actual black president. But for decades, some Americans claimed that the nation's first black president was really Warren G. Harding.
It turns out that he wasn't, really. At least that is the result of new DNA testing that according to scientists showed for the first time that Harding almost certainly had no recent ancestors with African blood, despite assertions that were spread far and wide a century ago in efforts to sabotage everything from his marriage to his political career.
The finding was overshadowed last week by the determination through the same testing that Harding did father a child with a mistress, Nan Britton. But the conclusion about Harding's racial ancestry likewise addresses a mystery that had puzzled historians for many years and provides a seemingly definitive resolution of a subplot that played out during his lifetime…

Ever wanted to just get away from the noise? If you take the Staten Island Ferry, here's your chance (h/t to Gothamist and the Staten Island Advance:
The Department of Transportation has agreed to relegate space on the middle deck of the Staten Island Ferry to become a designated "Quiet Zone." The SI Advance says that the area will be a place where passengers can seek solace to "avoid loud cell phone conversations, general chatter and ferryboat preachers who seek a captive audience." For now the Quiet Zones will be voluntary and self-policed, but City Councilman Ken Mitchell is drafting legislation for the DOT and NYPD to be able to enforce the new rules as well. Mitchell and State Senator Diane Savino pushed for the areas, similar to ones employed on Amtrak and LIRR trains, because Staten Islanders face the longest average commute in the nation. After a survey went out to Ferry riders asking about their commutes, Savino says, "Everyone of them said that they wanted some place to go on the boat where they could go and just contemplate their life." The signs will be posted on the Bridge Deck of the three newest Molinari-class ferryboats; Savoy says she is brainstorming how to make the plan work for older ferry models as well.
Staten Islanders have some of the longest commutes in the United States, so a quiet place to just think, read or catch some sleep is valuable.
How noisy is your commute? Are people on their cell phones? Can you often hear someone's music from their iPod? Mine is by bus and subway in NYC, so I deal with a lot of noisy cell phone talkers on the bus, but most people are quiet on the subway. However, the subway itself is noisy, sometimes unbearably so. Two not-so-noisy systems I've enjoyed are in Washington, DC and Atlanta. Is transit (the actual buses or trains) noisy where you are?
