If you missed it, here is my interview on Real Life Radio last Friday. We discussed why biotechnology (IVF, cloning, etc…) is a "women's issue." I come on in the second segment:
The already difficult task of raising daughters and protecting them from a society that seems to degrade them at every turn (or convince them that they aren't beautiful enough, that their bodies aren't perfect enough) is not getting any easier.
Remember the good old days when we used to only have to worry about a billion dollar sex industry and horny boys taking advantage of our girls and using them for their bodies? Well, now we also have to contend with a fast-growing biotech industry that is dependent on them putting their bodies on the line in order to obtain the "raw materials" needed for their experimentation.
To help parents, the Center for Bioethics and Culture Network has made a list of Five Things Mom's Should Tell Their Daughters About Their Eggs:
1. You are born with all the eggs you will ever have.
We're not like the guys, who make new fresh sperm all the time.
The eggs you enter this world with on day one are all you get – so use them wisely.
2. Every month you normally ovulate one egg…but about 1000 eggs are needed to get that one egg hatched.
Think of those 1,000 eggs as cheerleaders.
3. You have no idea where donated eggs will end up.
Since eggs aren't tracked in the U.S. (unlike just about anything else that leaves the human body, which gets barcoded, labeled, tracked and monitored and lives forever in some NAS spy secret zone) you really have no idea where your eggs will land.
4. There really is a biological clock.
And it's ticking. So again, if you want to make babies, use your eggs wisely and on time. And don't fall for those egg freezing schemes.
5. As a result:
Helping someone else have a baby with YOUR eggs…
…really means helping someone else have YOUR baby.
Third-party reproduction operations and scientific researchers make a lot of money on words like "gift" and "hope" and "miracle," often ignoring real medical and moral concerns to women. Do your daughters a favor. Teach them about biotechnology. Help them understand how valuable their bodies are so that hopefully they will not fall victim to exploitation in today's Brave New World.

The October Issue of 'The Free Market' Is Now Online.
October 29, 2013 in Economics
This month in The Free Market, Ron Paul discusses his new book on education with the Mises Institute:
The Free Market: Even with all the growth in homeschooling, the vast majority of students still go to public schools. So is it possible to make a difference with so many still receiving conventional, state directed education?
Ron Paul: We don't need to convince everyone. Most people take no interest in the issues that drive you and me. We need to persuade a dedicated minority. We need to reach the intellectual leaders of tomorrow from our ranks. If even five percent of the American public were truly conversant with the great thinkers and classics of the freedom philosophy, it would be a very, very different situation.
Hunt Tooley examines the American establishment's ideal Secretary of State:
Our ideal man—and they are all males—would definitely be in the Council on Foreign Relations (after 1922). After having served for three or four years as Secretary of War or Defense, our man will go back to "business," almost certainly investment banking. (This is true in nearly every case, even for those who were not bankers before.) He would also maintain extensive board memberships, consultative positions, and other connections to the arms industry. And he would be connected with the worlds of both government task forces and the great tax-free foundations (Ford Foundation, Rand, etc.) and maintain close connections to Lehman Brothers, Morgan, Jacob Schiff, and Goldman Sachs.
This month also features numerous news items on recent books and new research from Mises Institute scholars, friends, and alumni.

From CNN Des Moines affiliate KCCI:
DES MOINES, Iowa - There is still no firm date set for the Iowa Caucus. Gov. Chet Culver said it will be in 2008 after the first of the year. Right now it's scheduled for Jan. 14.
The uncertainty is causing a big problem for many hotels and caterers.
The Renaissance Savery Hotel is booked for the first half January, but those wanting a room in December could be out of luck because every room is being held, just in case the caucus moves into December.

He went on to attend the University of Detroit Mercy for the next decade where he completed his Bachelor's Degree, Doctor of Dental Surgery, Masters of Science in Orthodontics, and Certificate in Orthodontics. Throughout his schooling, he was a leader in numerous organizations and also had time to travel on humanitarian efforts to Honduras. Dr. DeHaan continues to stay active playing hockey and golf, while rooting for all of our Detroit sports teams! He is active in the dental community as a Board Member of the Oakland County Dental Association, as well as a member of committees with the Michigan Dental Association and the American Association of Orthodontists. As an Orthodontist, Dr. DeHaan has limited his practice to orthodontic patients only. His specialty is the diagnosis of dental and facial irregularities and treatment of such problems with braces and other orthodontic appliances. Some keys to Dr. DeHaan's success are that young patients can relate to his easy-going and fun personality, while parents can rely on his professional diagnoses and trustworthy treatment plans which only recommend treatment when necessary and beneficial.

SPF stands for Sender Policy Framework - a protocol used to prevent spammers from sending messages with forged 'From' addresses at your domain.
An SPF Record is a type of TXT record which identifies any mail servers permitted to send email on behalf of your domain - they are sometimes known as Reverse MX records.
Domain administrators publish SPF records in the DNS, so they can be used by incoming mail servers to verify the domain name from which email messages are sent. When a recipient's mail server receives an email message, it checks the SPF record to determine whether it is a valid message. If the message comes from a server that is included in the SPF record, it is legitimate; if not, it is rejected as spam.
Do I have to update the SPF record?
No. However, it's worth noting that some recipient domains may reject messages from users if they cannot validate that they have been sent from an authorized mail server.
How do I update the SPF record?
Updating SPF records needs to be done by a domain administrator. The exact process will vary from one service provider to another, but it is essentially just a matter of adding one line to a DNS TXT record. For example:
v=spf1 mx ip4:126.96.36.199 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.exclaimer.net ~all
Can I have multiple SPF records?
Multiple SPF records are not recommended as this can cause issues with delivery and/or spam classification.
If you're interested in a little more background information about SPF records, this section may be useful.
As noted previously, SPF records are a type of DNS record, so it is useful to start with an understanding of DNS and the context of SPF.
Domain Name System (DNS)
DNS is the short form for Domain Name System, a system that is used to identify and organize Web domains. It can be helpful to think of DNS as the equivalent of a telephone directory for the Web, allowing network communication services to look up names and translate them into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. DNS information is gathered from all the domain name servers across the Internet and stored at the Central Registry - hosting companies and Internet Service Providers interact with this registry on a regular basis to obtain updated DNS information.
So, at a basic level, when you type www.exclaimer.net into a web browser, DNS is used to look up this address and establish which IP address should be used to make a connection and display the web page.
Things get a little more complicated when we start to look at how email is sent and received. Again, a DNS lookup is required, but we need to delve a bit deeper and look at DNS records. The DNS includes different types of records which are used for specific purposes. For this article, we are interested in two particular types: MX and TXT.
MX records
MX records are resource records within the DNS which specify a mail server which is responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a recipient's domain, together with a preference value which is used to prioritize delivery if multiple mail servers are available.
All domains publish MX records so we know what servers can receive email for the domain. So, when an email is sent, the sending mail server looks up the MX record in the DNS to obtain the relevant IP address.
Text (TXT) records
A TXT record is a DNS record that provides text information to sources outside your domain; it can be used for many different purposes, one of which is SPF. So, when we refer to SPF records, we are referring to a particular type of TXT record within the DNS.

Last week, I got a fun email from Lauren at Chelsea Collective inviting me and some girlfriends to come to the Get Fit with Brooks and Moving Comfort event. I was really struggling with a strong case of the "Mondays" as I read the email but I saw "bra fitting, manicures and runnings shoes"… so clearly, I was in.
On Sunday morning, Sarah and I ventured out to our old stomping grounds: Tyson's Corner. It has been awhile since I've been to this massive mall…or any mall in general. These days, I can buy anything I need online. Just yesterday, I received a veggie-spaghetti maker AND a Birch Box order in the mail. Yes, I can shop from the comfort of my home with no judgement and more importantly, with no pants on.
When we got there we realized, not much has changed. We passed by the movie theater. There are still a ton of teenagers loiterings and flirting with each other. We passed by the Gap. Their displays are still adorable. We passed by Hollister. They still haven't gotten an electrician to fix their lighting. It was a walk down memory lane.
We finally got to the Chelsea Collective and let me start out by saying this store is BEAUTIFUL.
The greatest part of Chelsea Collective is that they carry several different brands of clothing, so there is a variety of fits. Their styles run (pun completely intended) across a spectrum; there were solids for the simple woman and crazy styles for the adventurer.
But we were there for 1 specific brand: Brooks.
As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the amazing staff and got started on bra sizing. It's been awhile since I've had a proper fitting so I was weirdly nervous; did I get bigger because I gained weight? Did I get smaller because I've been doing some pushups!? Buzz Kill. Same size as before!
After, I was given several different styles to try on.
Tbh, I have not bought a new sports bra in for-ev-errr. Most of my bras still lingering from high school or college…so trying these new bras on was a real revelation.
"Ohhh, they are supposed to support you!?"
I fell in love with this purple beauty.
This specific bra felt so supportive without cutting off circulation. The adorable print didn't hurt either. Some of the other bras didn't fit me quite as well but since I stopped lifting, it isn't too much of a surprise: I am definitely softer in places that I had no idea were affected by weights. Like, how can an armpit have that much pudge!?
After, we did a GAIT analysis. I always love these because it seems my feet have really changed since college. I have gone from a minimalist shoe, to neutral, to support, to neutral and now potentially support, again. Once my foot is back to normal, I will definitely be back! Sarah found an awesome pair of Brooks (seen below) that were an in-between of minimalist and support. She was pumped!
Finally, we headed to the fittings rooms to get a quick manicure from Manicures-n-Motion. This small business travels around to events (like this one) to pamper the attendees. They did an amazing job (and it still hasn't chipped!).
All in all: a WONDERFUL morning with one of my besties and Chelsea Collective. If you are looking to expand you fitness apparel, head on over! A big thanks to Lauren (@FlowWithDelight and flowwithdelight.com) for the invite and the goodies. Lauren is a fellow blogger and triathlete! Go check our her site for some awesome reads.
Happy Tri-ing!

It's Time to Empower Our Girls
by Thom Hartmann
"A short time after that, I was reading the story of Cinderella to my own daughter. About halfway through the book, I suddenly realized what I was "teaching" her with this story. The "good girl," Cinderella, was also the one in the story who was beautiful. The "bad girls" - Cinderella's stepsisters - were physically unattractive. But one level deeper, the story became really bizarre. Cinderella was compliant and uncomplaining, and spent much of her mental life in a fantasy world, while the ugly stepsisters were young women who had a goal and a mission and were trying to reach it. In other words, assertive women were ugly, and compliant women were attractive. Assertive women lived in the real world of power and competence, but eventually would lose out; pretty, compliant women lived in a world of fantasy, but if they kept doing what they were told, even if told so by a fantasy fairy godmother, then everything would work out.
And the prize in this competitive psychodrama? A man. And not just a normal man, but a man who was so self-absorbed that he spent an hour or more dancing with Cinderella but afterwards couldn't remember what she looked like and could only identify her by her shoe size!
I remember walking into the living room and saying to my wife, "I think I've just participated in a cultural brainwashing experiment," as I described my observations about the story I'd just read to our daughter.
In our culture, boys are encouraged to act out their need for aliveness - to build, conquer, destroy, change, form and reform everything from the physical to the social to the religious. Thus, those boys with an intensely strong need to know their own aliveness are the most visible - they're constantly self-stimulating through interactions with the world around them. When they have functional ways to do this they're called gifted or bright or accomplished; when they find dysfunctional ways to meet their need for aliveness, they're called hyperactive (or worse).
As you can see from the story of Cinderella (and others, like Snow White, etc.), girls in our culture are given a very different story about how they should meet their need for knowing their own aliveness. From a very young age, they're told to sit down, shut up, not interrupt, and be a lady.
….So while boys can satisfy their need for the experience of aliveness by physical activity, girls are slapped down (more often metaphorically than literally, but the effect is the same) when they try to get their need for aliveness met by physical activity or manipulation of the physical world around them. So, in the face of the Cinderella story, and the millions of other messages that girls in our culture get about how they must be passive and quiet in order to be "feminine," they learn another way - an internal way - to "know they're alive": they escape into fantasy. So while our boys are getting their arousal from doing things externally, our girls are getting their need for aliveness met by creating and stepping into worlds of fantasy and imagination. And when the teacher calls on them, they seem to be off in space.
It's not that the girls aren't stimulated - they're fully engaged in the fantasy that's often visualized right in front of them. It's not that they don't interrupt like the hyperactive boys - but instead of interrupting others, they're interrupting themselves, with raging internal monologues that are so often interrupted in their own minds so badly and so frequently that they can't remember what they were thinking just five minutes before."

The current Washington State Department of Agriculture proposal to force ranchers to put RFID tags in cows and bulls in Washington State is being opposed by Cattle Producers of Washington for the following reasons:
1.The proposal would create an undue burden on cattle producers. The rule would put an undue burden on cattle producers in the state, both in the forms of financial outlay and increased labor demands. The RFID proposal would also put Washington State at a competitive disadvantage compared to other states that are not forcing the use of RFID tags.
In addition, Washington producers would not only have to purchase the reading equipment and computer software to read the tags, but the man hours required to successfully read, record and transmit information are prohibitive for most cattle producers. With many operations running a lean and efficient crew of owner-operators, this regulation would demand time and labor beyond the capacity of most operations.
2.The proposed RFID regulation does not address imported cattle. Cattle imported into Washington are not addressed in the proposed rule. In recent years, disease outbreaks in cattle have not manifested from within Washington State, but have been from imported cattle. The proposed rule does not currently apply to imported cattle but rather is applied to Washington herds that are currently disease free.
3.The proposal would discourage the current practice of using bangs vaccinations and Trichomoniasis testing. The rule would discourage producers from either bangs vaccinating or Trichomoniasis testing their cattle for fear of undue government intrusion and regulation of their business. Bangs vaccination and Trichomoniasis testing are currently an industry standard, but they are not mandated by law and many producers may choose to stop these practices if they are linked to the forced use of an RFID tag. Small producers will be particularly inclined to forgo these practices in order to avoid the government intrusion, thereby weakening Washington's overall cattle herd health.
4.Security of proprietary information is not assured by the proposal. The proposal currently has no assurance that proprietary ranch information recorded with an RFID tag and transmitted to the state would be secure. The proposal does not list how the information would be safeguarded or who would have access to the information. Expecting ranches to turn over their private business information with no surety of confidentiality or secure storage is unreasonable. In addition, proprietary ranch information should not be used without producer consent to market meat products, as outlined in the proposal.
5.Tag durability and retention is not certain. Data regarding RFID tags to date shows that there is roughly a 20 percent loss of the tags in an average herd of cattle. Additionally, there are no safeguards against fraud, as tags can be easily removed and replaced on any animal. There is also no data to show if tags in mother cows will last as long as the rancher generally retains a mature cow, which could be as long as eight to 10 years.
6.Successive phases of the proposed rule have not been outlined. WSDA has failed to outline what the successive phases of an RFID mandatory tag implementation would be. While outlining only an initial step, it has failed to outline an overall system which would likely include mandatory premises registration and other pending regulations. Failing to outline an entire plan is misleading and may induce ranchers to utilize the first component of the system (tags) without realizing the successive obligations and costs they will incur as new phases of the program are mandated.

Viterolite was developed to meet requirements of a durable, sustainable sound absorber that is non-fibrous and overcomes issues of weather aging and contamination damage. Viterolite are pre-cast tiles made from expanded glass granules that are produced from recycled glass. The processed granules are bonded together using a polymer resin binder. Each granule inherently acts as an acoustic absorber and the polymer resin binder considerably enhances the impact resistance of the tiles. The result is a light-weight, porous, sound-absorbing panel with excellent impact resistance properties that are suitable for both external and indoor use.
They are an ideal choice for areas with challenging weather and impact conditions such as train stations, as well as indoor areas with high humidity or fire concerns. Unlike traditional porous or open-cell materials, its natural resistance to moisture ensures that the panels will not significantly retain or absorb moisture. Viterolite achieves the highest fire rating -'Class O' required by British building standards.
Viterolite tiles can be worked on site and retrofitted to reflective surfaces such as concrete walls to provide effective noise absorption. The panels can withstand weather conditions, impact, animal infestation and have a long life-span without any additional treatment. They can be cut to different shapes and sizes, routed to provide varying texture and shadowing effects, thereby opening up several aesthetic options for interiors as well as outdoor applications. Constructed from recycled material, and VOC free, Viterolite tiles are easy to work on, fix and maintain.
Viterolite Features
- Lightweight, rigid, durable and self supporting
- High impact resistant and sound absorption
- High weather, water and UV resistance
- Resistant to chlorides and potassium

Latrama: Love and Projects
For more than 10 years Latrama & Chandra Sound System collective have been spreading their particular way of music understanding in some many ways and places around the world, performing in many forms.
Now, Madrid based producer, multi-instrumentalist, DJ and member of Chandra Sound System; Latrama has released a new album. With a delicate balance of organic, traditional eastern instruments and global breaks all wrapped up in electronica.
The CD is split in two parts. "Love" consists of eight tracks infused with global breaks, Spanish, Indian, Middle Eastern influences. The combination of spicy grooves, crunchy beats and electronic rhythms really grabs your attention and doesn't let go easily. Totally beautiful!
The second part "Projects" is a display of Latrama's talent as a remix producer, offering his own perspectives on seven tracks including those by Bob Holroyd, Genetic Drugs and X-file and Aref Durvesh, definitely for the dance floor!
Last thing about this CD … uses the packaging to trigger augmented reality "DJing" of the playlist. Put the CD in front of your webcam, head to a browser-based tool, and you get turntable controls for playing the album live, complete with scratching, pitch, delay, filter, and volume controls.

Losses expected to mount
THERE has been speculation that the Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) will be seeking a fare increase shortly. However, there is no indication that this is a priority for the Ministry of Transport and Mining.
Minister of Transport and Mining Mike Henry has indicated to the Jamaica Observer's weekly Auto magazine that he is not supportive of an increase right now.
"I am not encouraging any application for fares increase at this time," he told Auto yesterday.
According to media reports, JUTC Managing Director Paul Abrahams had confirmed that the State-run entity had approached the Ministry of Transport and Mining seeking an increase.
Henry said, however, he is instead focusing on other issues being dealt with by the bus company, including: a change in the type of fuel being used to ensure that they comply with international environmental standards, and reducing the release of smoke from bus engines.
In the meantime, the Jamaica Public Bodies book tabled in Parliament recently projects that the bus company will lose approximately $7 billion in financial year 2018/2019.
There was an unaudited loss of $2.7 billion in 2016/2017. For 2017/2018, which ends on March 31, there is an estimated loss of $3.1 billion.
The company's income is expected to increase during 2018/2019 from $5 billion to $5.3 billion, but its total operating expenses are projected to rise, at the same time, from $8.8 billion projected for 2017/2018 to $11.5 billion in 2018/2019.
Operating losses are expected to rise to the $9.6 billion projected for 2018/2019, compared to the estimated $6.1 billion estimated for 2017/2018. The company is expected to end up with a loss of approximately $7 billion in 2018/2019 compared to $3.1 billion estimated for 2017/2018 and from a loss of $2.7 billion in 2016/2017.
According to the Government's Jamaica Public Bodies book, the JUTC's operational plan for 2018/19 assumes an available fleet of 473 buses to achieve an average daily run out of 425 buses. This would be 21 less than the 446 on daily run out call for 2017/2018. However, the company plans to increase its passenger numbers to 58.1 million in 2018/2019, compared to the current 56.4 million.
The company's assumptions for 2018/2019 also include: secured funding for spare parts, a structured repair and maintenance schedule based on manufacturer's recommendations, and refurbishing of 15 buses for their return to service.
The JUTC's priority initiatives for the coming financial year include:
• Improving efficiencies and cost savings by outsourcing accident investigations to improve the effectiveness and reduce the costs of claims;
• Increase the number of Smarter Card Point of Sales locations by 99 outlets, for greater commuter access to recharge cards through third-party contracts;
• Assuming direct management of the Half-Way-Tree Transport Centre and the downtown Parade location to minimise cost and improve operational logistics; and
• Continuing to restructure the sub-franchise operations to reclaim high-density route corridors in the Kingston Metropolitan Transport Region.
The forecast highlights total revenue flows of $5.3 billion and total expenses of $14.9 billion, up from $11.1 billion.
The company is projecting using a staff of 2,129 to achieve to achieve its targets in 2018/2019, compared to the current 2,230 employees.

Reform the Patriot Act – Call Senator Kohl's office today!
If all goes according to schedule, tomorrow, Senator Kohl and the other members of the Senate Judiciary Committee will cast votes that could finally fix provisions of the Patriot Act that have undermined our fundamental freedoms for far too long.
It's urgent that you call Senator Kohl's office right now and let him know that you support bold action on Patriot Act reform.
Contact Senator Kohl now and urge him to vote for genuine Patriot Act reforms.
As an ACLU lobbyist who has worked on the Patriot Act for more than six years, I can say first-hand how much your calls matter. The Thursday mark-up of Patriot Act legislation in the Judiciary Committee will set the stage for later action in the full Senate. Senator Feingold and nine other Senators have introduced the JUSTICE Act, a very strong bill which effectively reins in many of the out-of-control government powers embedded in the Patriot Act.
It's absolutely crucial that the legislation that emerges from the Judiciary Committee embraces the strong measures Senator Feingold has put forth. Senator Kohl's vote could be absolutely essential to the outcome.
Call Senator Kohl now — and urge him to vote tomorrow for genuine Patriot Act reforms.
It helps us to know how many calls have been made because then we can follow-up with the senator's office. So, after you make the call, I hope you'll report back and let us know that you've contacted the Senator's office.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this.
Michelle Richardson
Legislative Counsel
American Civil Liberties Union
P.S. Here are some of the most crucial elements of the JUSTICE Act — ones that you should urge Senator Kohl to support tomorrow:
• Protecting the privacy of records by reining in the government's use of National Security Letters to collect the records of innocent people far removed from an actual terrorism suspect.
• Protecting humanitarian activities by preventing prosecution of people who work with or for charities that give humanitarian aid in good faith to war-torn countries.
• Protecting First Amendment rights by requiring that the government convince a court that a National Security gag order is necessary.
• Protecting privacy of communications by amending last year's sweeping FISA Amendments Act to better protect Americans' phone calls and emails.

Sips & Kisses on Sunset at Skybar
The Goodnight Kiss
I've never been one for especially sweet drinks - you know, the kind that out me as a member of one particular sex over the other - but hey. I'll try anything once. Especially if real muddled fruit is involved. I am beginning to appreciate rum more, these days. And with all the craze about St. Germain liqueur lately, I gotta say I'm pulled into that as well. Sweet cocktails, to me, are usually more palatable with St. Germain. There is something about elderflower that gives the cocktail more depth and - of course - more fragrance. I think it also makes the cocktail more delicate.
In the last installment of a 3-part "Summer Sips" series at Skybar at The Mondrian on Sunset Blvd., they're introducing The Goodnight Kiss - a decidedly summer drink made with Cabana Cachaça. It's a rum distilled from sugar cane as opposed to molasses in keeping with the lightness a summer cocktail should require. Peep the recipe below to get an idea:
Muddle 3 strawberries
¾ oz lime juice
1oz St. Germain Liqueur
1 ½ oz Cabana Cachaça
Shake and strain in low ball
Garnish with a strawberry and lime wheel flag
And if you know anything about the establishments on Sunset Blvd., you know Skybar is notorious for a lot of things: A beautiful poolside deck, an island thatch roof motif (the layout of which I admire), and yes - perhaps amongst all the beautiful people there's a larger share of older, well-to-do gentlemen. Another thing I'd add: Difficult entry at peak times like Friday and Saturday nights unless you actually have a room booked at The Mondrian. Personally - I avoid those nights on The Strip because while I love parties and cocktails, I am a low drama-loving kind of gal - scene-wise and parking-wise. Regardless - I have my readers covered!
If you want to try The Goodnight Kiss and soak up the Sunset scene, just call Skybar at 323.650.8999 x 4207 to make a reservation (that is, for larger parties) or to be added to the list if the time of your raucous visit necessitates that. Mention that you are there to try "The Goodnight Kiss" and you'll be added to the list. Oh - and did I mention it's $8 while cocktails at Skybar are usually $16??
You scenester, you…
Goodnight Kiss cocktail is $8 (half-price) til the end of September
Open seven days a week
SKYBAR at The Mondrian Hotel

Note: you probably won't get any of this unless you're from Montreal. Or New Jersey, possibly.
We recognize that this post has the potential to be offensive so we'd like to preface it by stating that we're both Italian ourselves. We cherish our heritage and value our culture. In fact, we love being Italian and wouldn't have it any other way. However, we're totally sick of the stereotypes that go along with it. Some losers are giving us a bad rep.
If you so much as slightly suspect that we're talking about you, then we probably are. Seriously. Think people love Italians as much as you assume they do? Think again. Fuck, even we hate you and we're one of you.
So we're staging an intervention. We're going to comment on different aspects of your life in hopes of getting you to act like a decent human being. Our collective reputations can be saved, people. You can do it!
Lose the accent. It's obvious that when you're raised in an environment where everyone sounds the same, you're bound to pick up on it. But you weren't born in Italy. You don't even speak Italian. Most importantly, the accent doesn't sound Italian at all: it's more like an unfortunate mix of oddly emphasized syllables and bad grammar.
All speech patterns aside, you might think you "talk good" but we can assure you that you sound stupid. Stop making up words, stop calling good looking women "broads", stop inserting "ma", "me", "bro" and "like" after every third word. Having the vocab of a small child isn't attractive. It's ironic how Italian culture is largely considered as being one of the pillars of modern society when nowadays, we sound like bumbling idiots.
Okay, so you're second cousins with John Scotti's wife and, "Me, bro, I can get you a deal on a Porsche" and your connections allow you to rent a reception hall at half the price. No one gives a fuck. It's great that you know everyone but please get over it and stop mentioning it at every possible opportunity because you're making us sound like a bunch of inbred peasants.
Oh, and your uncle Tony isn't in the mob. And if he is, we highly doubt he wants you bragging about it to everyone from the girl you're currently "sticking it in" to the bouncers at Macaroni Bar. So STFU.
Ladies, you look like upscale slobs. Uggs are over. Stop buying them, stop wearing the ones you already have and stop tucking your tacky Juicy sweatpants into them. True Religion jeans are hideous. Ed Hardy deep Vs are ghastly. Gigantic hair and bad manicures went out in the late '80s. So don't even try to pull any of that off. Who do you think you are, Sara Di Maulo?
Men, you look like every sensible woman's worst nightmare. Your ponytails or crispy, over-gelled hair offend our eyes. The massive Dom Rebel graphics on your tshirts and caps are distracting. It's time to throw your Von Dutch cap away. Don't wear sunglasses in clubs (it's not sunny, assholes). Understand that a canottiera is an undershirt and that's exactly how you're supposed to wear it – UNDER a shirt, not alone. Refrain from purchasing those sneakers that look like they're painted onto your socks.
Stop sooping up your damn cars. Why not put all the money you spend on your Civic into a savings account and start preparing for your future? What's that you say? Because you're gonna live with your parents until you're married? Oh yeah. Sorry, we forgot. Seriously though, Civics aren't fast no matter how much you lower them, how loud your exhaust is or what kind of mags you have.
And stop driving like asshats. Why all of you insist on running red lights, tailgating and refusing to display any sort of politeness (by respecting crosswalks, letting other cars pass, etc) is beyond us. We can't even count how many accidents we've almost been in because of you. Put your cell phone down and lower the dance music. This brings us to our next point.
Bon Jovi and MC Mario are not musical geniuses. Stop huddling and singing in unison whenever "Wanted Dead or Alive" comes on at a bar. Cruising on Lacordaire while listening to Alice Deejay does not make you cool or bad ass; it makes you a douchebag. The rest of us can appreciate dance music for what it's worth – cheesy but catchy tunes that are fun in small doses – but you need to listen to something different. And not U2. Please, anything but U2. Odds are you already have a creepy Bono shrine in your house anyway.
Women didn't suffer centuries of prejudice to get shit on by disrespectful mama's boys. It's not okay to assume that the woman you marry will clean the house, cook a mean tomato sauce, shoot out three kids and still look "mint".
And ladies, your dreams shouldn't amount to how big a rock your boyfriend can buy you or how lavish your wedding will be. Stop reinforcing trophy wife stereotypes and get a life.
In closing, a few more people helped out with this post (Alex, Jay and Vince) so we wanted to say thanks.
R.I.P. Club Dome.

Recent rumors and theories surrounding a plot point in Marvel's the Avengers centers around long-time Avenger Scarlet Witch being depicted as a cellist. I have been trying to find the specific reference, but with no luck. Where does all this business about Scarlet Witch being a cellist originate?
And for clarification, the rumor I am referencing is:
Agent Phil Coulson is killed by Loki. After his death, Nick Fury calls him his "one good eye," which could either be a turn of phrase referencing his eye patch, OR a nod to his vision which in turn is a nod to long-time Avenger The Vision. The theory is that Coulson's brain patterns will be mapped onto a synthezoid (fancy word for android) body. Other references that support this are that Coulson mentions dating a cellist, which apparently is a reference to the Vision's wife, Scarlet Witch. Also the Vision's synthezoid body comes from the 1940s Human Torch, which was glimpsed briefly in the Captain America film. And lastly, Tony Stark mentions "Life Model Decoys" in the film, which establishes that the technology to create artificial intelligence and androids has to either already exist or is plausible. Or it's a joke he's making, but even so, it's still a reference.

Calls for Proposals
We periodically invite scientists to submit research proposals for collaborative, synthesis projects in both basic and applied environmental science. If selected, research teams meet one to two times per year at our headquarters in Santa Barbara, CA to focus on their projects.
Successful proposals present research questions that could benefit specifically from the synthesis of existing data and analysis by an interdisciplinary team. Learn more about our working group model [1].
We also issue calls for postdoctoral researchers to support a working group of one of our research programs, join us as a postdoctoral fellow [2], or conduct their own independent research. Postdoctoral researchers are typically based at our headquarters in Santa Barbara.
To receive notifications of open calls for proposals, subscribe [3] to our newsletter and follow us [4] on Twitter.
Current Calls for Proposals
National Science Foundation's "Dear Colleague Letter: Research Coordination Networks (RCNs) for driving convergent science with the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON)" - Convene at NCEAS
For this program [5], NSF approves funds devoted to convening synthesis working groups at NCEAS. You are encouraged to consider including within your application a request for funds to do this. For more information, see this PDF [6] and/or contact NCEAS Director Ben Halpern at halpern [at] nceas.ucsb.edu or Deputy Director Courtney Scarborough at scarborough [at] nceas.ucsb.edu.
Research Programs
Calls for proposals are typically associated with one of the following initiatives.
Science for Nature and People Partnership (SNAPP)
SNAPP [7] is our collaborative initiative with The Nature Conservancy and Wildlife Conservation Society to fill important knowledge gaps and advance solutions to challenges that lie at the intersection of nature conservation, sustainable development, and human well-being. Teams are typically a mix of academic and non-academic researchers, sometimes also including experts from the realms of policy, management, and business. Calls for proposals are typically issued once a year between February and April.
To get a sense of what SNAPP looks for, download the last call for proposals [8].
Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network
Through the LTER Network Communications Office [9], we solicit proposals for projects that synthesize and analyze data from one or more LTER sites. While all relevant ideas will be considered, the selection committee is most interested in ideas that could have high-impact results in the five core LTER thematic areas: 1) primary production, 2) population studies, 3) organic matter dynamics, 4) mineral cycling, and 5) disturbance patterns and processes. Principal investigators are strongly encouraged to contact the NCO to briefly discuss ideas before submitting proposals.
To get a sense of what LTER looks for, download the last call for proposals [10].
Special projects
Occasionally, we convene one or more working groups to tackle a specific issue of interest to a funding partner, such as a foundation, consortium, or government agency. Recent examples include the State of Alaska's Salmon and People [11] (SASAP) project, funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, and the TomKat UC Carbon Neutrality Project [12], funded by the TomKat Foundation and University of California Office of the President.

Have a question or just want to learn more? We're here to help.
The Navy Chaplain Corps boasts more than 800 Navy Chaplains from more than 100 different faith groups, including Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and many others. Each Chaplain is also a Navy Officer, meaning each holds an important leadership role.
Chaplains offer everything from faith leadership, to personal advice, to much-needed solace - all while living up to the guiding principles of the Chaplain Mission:
As a Navy Chaplain, your job spans a broad range of duties. You will support fellow servicemembers during their most joyful moments, and during their most difficult. Your responsibilities might include:
As a Navy Chaplain, your job spans a broad range of duties, seeing people through some of their most joyful moments to their most personally challenging. And it could include any of these responsibilities:
Navy Chaplains immerse themselves in the daily lives of servicemembers. In what can be best described as a ministry of presence, they are there to offer guidance and insight in the moment, whenever they're needed. You could provide support while on land or at sea, when presiding over religious ceremonies on a base, or when conducting services from the flight deck of an aircraft carrier.
Serving part-time as a Reservist, your duties will be carried out during your scheduled drilling and training periods. During monthly drilling, Chaplains in the Navy Reserve typically work at a location close to their homes. This gives you the flexibility to minister in the Navy while maintaining responsibilities to your congregation at home.
For Annual Training, Chaplains may serve anywhere in the world, alongside the Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen to whom they minister.
Take a moment to learn more about the general roles and responsibilities of Reservists.
Those pursuing a Chaplain position are required to attend Officer Development School (ODS) in Newport, RI. Upon completion, they attend a seven-week course at the Naval Chaplaincy School and Center, also in Newport, RI.
Promotion opportunities are regularly available but competitive and based on performance. It's also important to note that specialized training received and work experience gained in the course of service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related fields such as family counseling and behavioral therapy.
Most of what you do in the Navy Reserve is considered training. The basic Navy Reserve commitment involves training a minimum of one weekend a month (referred to as drilling) and two weeks a year (referred to as Annual Training) – or the equivalent of that.
Chaplains in the Navy Reserve serve in an Officer role. Before receiving the ongoing professional training that comes with this job, initial training requirements must be met.
For current or former Navy Officers (NAVET): Prior experience satisfies the initial leadership training requirement – so you will not need to go through Officer Training again.
For current or former Officers of military branches other than the Navy (OSVET), as well as for Officer candidates without prior military experience: Beginning October 1st, 2019, Officer Candidates will be required to attend the Officer Development School (ODS) in Newport, RI instead of the 12-day Direct Commission Officer School. ODS is a five-week program that provides a comprehensive and intense introduction to the responsibilities of Navy Staff Corps Officers. Here you will learn about the military structure of the U.S. Navy, its rich history of traditions and customs, leadership development and military etiquette. There may be an option for attendees to request to split the five-week program into two sessions.
Navy Chaplains typically continue their education throughout their careers. Opportunities for continuing education are available through the Advanced Education Program while being paid full-time as a Navy Officer. Beyond professional credentials and certifications, Navy Chaplains can advance their education by:
Also keep in mind: If you're in the process of starting or completing your graduate theological degree, you could potentially enter the Navy Chaplain Candidate Program (CCPO) as a student.
Navy Officer. Beyond professional credentials and certifications, Navy Chaplains can advance their education by:
A candidate seeking to serve as a Navy Chaplain and Officer must:
General qualifications may vary depending upon whether you're currently serving, whether you've served before or whether you've never served before.
To learn more and see if you qualify to serve as a Navy Chaplain, please call 855-904-4002.
A graduate degree of not less than 72 semester hours in theological or related studies is required to work as a Navy Chaplain. Candidates seeking an Officer position in this community must also have a bachelor's degree from a qualified educational institution and hold an ecclesiastical endorsement from a religious faith organization registered with the Department of Defense.

You Don't Win Fans By Limiting How They Enjoy Your Content
from the backwards-thinking deptThe CW television network, which is the massively struggling television network that was formed when the already massively struggling The WB and UPN merged seems to have a rather bizarre way of trying to get more viewers. It's making life more annoying for them. The channel's one popular show is apparently a show called Gossip Girl, which has a bunch of online tie-ins, considering that one of the main characters is an anonymous blogger. CW has been streaming the shows online, which found a big audience, as its target market likes to consume plenty of content online. The only problem? Advertisers aren't paying as much online, so the channel has decided to stop streaming it online, telling fans to watch it on TV instead. It's not hard to understand why this will fail. First of all, they're giving fans of the show fewer options in terms of how to watch it and they're taking away the preferred option. That's not exactly a way to win fans. The fans who really like watching it online will continue to do so, of course, but now they'll do it via BitTorrent or some other system, which the CW gets no revenue from. This isn't a captive audience that we're talking about here. If the channel makes it that much harder to actually watch the content, they'll move on to other content that actually caters to what they want. It's yet another attempt to force artificial scarcity where there is none, and in this day and age, that's not going to win fans. It's going to lose them.

GudNeSs for Rs 10 with all the iron women need
Arjun Sen, New Delhi
A bar made from jaggery, nuts, seeds and multiple grains and available for just Rs 10 could be the low-cost solution to the problem of anaemia among Indian women.
Produced by Rajvi Mehta, 20, the bar is inspired by the chikki, a tasty and popular confectionery. Just five bars a week can provide anaemic women with all the iron they need in their diets.
In 2010, Mehta, a Mumbai girl studying biochemistry at Brown University in the United States, found that she couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without feeling exhausted. She began to experience multiple episodes of fainting and chest pain. Back in India during her long winter vacation in December of that year, she discovered that she was suffering from Thalassemia Minor, a genetic disposition to anaemia.
"When I discussed my blood test results with physicians, I realised that I was one in over 900,000 million people in India who experience these consequences of anaemia on a daily basis and are unaware of their condition," Mehta told Civil Society. That was when she decided to do something about it.
"I wanted to do something to help the situation and so I thought of Let's Be Well Red (LBWR), initially as a project that filled gaps in previously failed government programmes. A market scan of government health programmes found that some had neglected nutrition completely in their treatment regime. Others distributed iron-fortified flour and rice, but these programmes were unsuccessful due to the lack of awareness about the optimal dosage needed to satisfy the daily iron requirements," Mehta said.
In fact after spending thousands of crores of taxpayers' money, the actual incidence of Indians suffering from the debilitating effects of anaemia has gone up. According to the National ...

Koekedoor 2
There are baking reality shows and there are baking reality shows and there is Koekedoor. Certainly, a HUGE favourite for me once a week when the two series have been broadcast. Hundreds of thousands of viewers each week watched the three wonderful and talented judges sitting in judgement over an enchanting group of contestants of all ages who produced the most superb baking work.
For me, the Great British Bake Off and its local version, sit in the second row. Mari-Louis Guy, Tiaan Langenegger and Elizabeth Cloete are such experts in their fields and certainly there was serious electricity between them.
With my favourite baking girls
Errieda du Toit, the highly talented heritage food writer, was the content creator for the two KykNET series and also for their predecessor Kokkedoor. She has put together a series of books celebrating these reality cooking shows. Koekedoor 2 is the perfect Christmas Baking Book, there is a lovely section on Christmas Bakes.
Excellent juice making photography by Kirk van Rooi and Myburgh du Plessis.
It was a lucky guest at a function which showed the first programme of the second series and spent a morning with these lovely people. Tiaan Langenegger, a trained chef brings a modern youthful approach. Mari-Louis Guy is so talented as a baker and creator of some pretty fantastic bakes. Elizabeth Cloete, in my opinion, should be proclaimed a National Living Treasure, the bearer of the food cultural heritage in this country.
Koekedoor 2 Winner, the enchanting Corli Botha
While the series may be over, the book is a great reminder of the baking fun that took place and the joy it gave to us, its viewers.
The book is available in Afrikaans, the language of the Koekedoor Series.

The Value of an Elite Program
by Bailey Patt (IL Bash Alum & ASU player)
Collegiate softball always seemed like it was something out of reach for me, let alone playing Division 1. I was not sure what their schedules consisted of or if I was even talented enough to play with/against some of the best girls in the country. Playing at a Division 1 school is not about having all the perks. Getting free equipment and sponsorships is a highlight, but it is a privilege that you are given. The hard work and dedication you put into it is what makes all your opportunities possible. Being apart of the Illinois Bash really prepared me for what I went through my first year at a Division 1 school.
You know just as well as I do that from the moment you become a member of an elite softball program in the fall and all the way until the end of the next summer, you have a full schedule. Whether its tournaments, practice or fundraising you are always doing something. A typical fall D1 schedule can be compared to what the Bash does. Not as many tournaments are played or games in general, but there is a lot of practice and conditioning. Throughout the fall your fundamentals are broken down and bettered. The conditioning in the Bash warehouse you all do is hard work, most Division 1
are doing similar workouts, but for an hour or more five times a week. Besides the running you do at practice, you have scheduled time with a strength and conditioning coach where you just focus on getting stronger and faster. All the dedication you put in just for the offseason really develops how you will play in the spring.
Throughout the year on a travel team, you get to know the girls you are spending all your time with. When you go away to school,
team chemistry needs to be developed just as much as your skills. Whether its fundraising, team bonding activities, or just hanging out with each other on free time, you have to be able to make relationships with your teammates because
you are with them all the time and those relationships make your team stronger.
I know that being on an elite program conflicts with your life outside of softball, but that is a choice we make for our sport. When you are a member of a D1 program there isn't as much free time as you want. You may think you have the rest of the day off, but then your coach will call a meeting or practice and you have to give up your free time to go with what your coach says. It really is the ultimate sacrifice. Yes you may get upset because you already had plans that you now have to change, but when you join any kind of softball program whether it's a D1 or Junior College, you have to remember that this is like a job. A coach is paying you to go to school to perform on and off the field. What they say goes.
This article isn't written with the intention to scare you into not playing D1. Quite the opposite, it is to share first hand my experience and to inform you that the Bash program really will prepare you for college. Throughout my softball career I never learned as much as I did until I joined the Bash. The practice/tournament schedules are crazy, and you always have to work hard, give 100%, but that's what it takes. Being able to sacrifice for your team will open up more opportunities than you know. If collegiate softball is something you strive for, keep working. Don't let anything stop you from getting to your goal, and remember: Safe Softball Sucks.
