Health Care Designed Exclusively for Women
Preparing for your new baby includes helping other family members adjust. A new baby brings new sounds, new schedules, and new ways of coping for everyone. Most families soon find ways to adjust to the changes that take place. But it's helpful to prepare some family members for what's ahead.
A new baby will bring enormous changes to any family, and these changes are often the most difficult for the older brothers and sisters. Children older than age 5 often have an easier time, as they have begun to establish experiences and friends outside of the home. Toddlers often have a more difficult time. Not only do they have to share their parents, but also the environment and their routines are affected. It has a big impact on them.
To help your children adjust, begin talking about the new baby well in advance. In general, the older the child the earlier you can bring it up. If possible, involve them in making some of the decisions. Books are a wonderful resource. Explore the resources at your local library or bookstore. The right books are those a child wants to read over and over again. Acknowledge that there will be stresses and disappointments, but also the positive parts of the experience. Promise that you'll set aside time for the older brother and sister, without the baby.
Some toddlers love having a special doll that's their "baby." This can be purchased in advance or brought home with the new baby. A fairly realistic baby can give the child a chance to practice holding, diapering, and feeding.
Let the older siblings know exactly what they can expect. Talk to your health care provider or the hospital where you'll be delivering about sibling preparation classes. Visiting mom in the hospital can be very important, if allowed.
The big brother or sister needs a chance to welcome the baby at home. If someone other than Mom carries the baby, she can focus on the older siblings.
Be sure the older sibling isn't ignored by visitors who come to meet the new baby. A small book or toy can help counteract all the gifts which are showered on the new baby.
Right from the beginning identify a regular time, whether daily or weekly, which will be specifically for the older child. Ideally both parents will be able to have their own times. Even if you spend a lot of time with your children at home, it can be helpful to have this special time which they can count on, and not to feel they're constantly competing with the baby for your time and attention. When you're busy with the baby and your older child needs something, you can answer that you need to take care of the baby now, but "remember we'll have our special time ..."
Because feeding time can be especially difficult, consider having a basket of toys, books, and other distractions for your toddler for use only during this time.
It's very easy, as busy new parents, to expect too much of the older siblings. A 2-year-old is still a 2-year-old, even as a big brother or sister. Just like adults, children have limits to their coping abilities. When the stresses get too much they may regress a little, with toilet training or dressing for example, or wanting a bottle again, like a baby. Don't belittle these needs, but provide a little extra attention and remind them how wonderful it is to be older and to be able to do so much more. It's hard enough for them to act their own age, don't fall into the trap of expecting your 2-year-old to act like a 5-year-old.
If there are any changes planned for your older child, such as changing beds or bedrooms in preparation for the baby, make these changes well in advance of the baby's arrival. Likewise, don't try to make any big changes such as potty training around the time the baby is expected.
Keeping your family routines and rituals, at mealtimes and bedtime for example, can also help decrease stress for the entire family.
A new baby may be the most wonderful gift you can give your parents. Their excitement matches your own, and they anticipate a very special relationship with this child. And being close to grandparents is a very special gift for children. Depending on your relationship with your parents, becoming a parent can also give you a new realization and appreciation for your parents and make your relationship closer as well.
Many grandparents love being involved in the plans and decision making. Some will hardly be able to wait to get their hands on the new little one, others will be more reluctant. There are so many new products and changes in baby care (all the new vaccines for example) that some grandparents will feel a little apprehensive about things. They may appreciate a "brush-up" at a baby care class or, if available, at a special grandparenting class.
Grandparents can provide invaluable help when the baby first comes home. Give them an opportunity to get to know the new grandchild, but happily accept any help they give with housecleaning, laundry, and meals. This can also be a chance for them to spend some special time with older siblings.
There are potential problems, of course. You'll be developing your own knowledge of your baby and your own philosophy of child rearing. Happily accept help and suggestions, but don't let grandparents take over or make you feel inadequate or like a bad parent. Trust your instincts and your knowledge and be true to your own values.
Most parents with pets have questions about how a new baby will affect their dog or cat. This is especially true if the pet has played a very central role in the home for many years.
It's important to begin preparing your cat or dog for a new baby before the baby comes home. A thorough veterinary examination is essential, to examine health and to test for any infections such as intestinal parasites. Flea and tick control on the pet is important as is killing any existing pests in the home.
Some parents are concerned that their pet (especially a dog) is too aggressive and may harm the baby. Professional trainers can offer advice on managing an aggressive dog. However, you may want to consider keeping your dog outside if it has dangerous tendencies. If you plan to change the routine for your pet, such as sleeping outside rather than in your bed, begin early.
The entrance of a new baby can often be chaotic. Pets may be curious, or just like children, they may experience some jealousy of the competition for their owner's attention. It's often recommended that you bring home a blanket, a worn article of the baby's clothing, or a used diaper with the baby's scent for the pet. This way the baby is more familiar to the animal.
When the baby comes home, allow your pet to sniff the new baby. Some experts recommend that someone other than a parent bring the baby into the home for the first time. It's wise to keep a close eye on all contact between your baby and your pets. Even an animal that is normally very gentle can injure a young infant or child.
Keeping interactions positive is important. Many pets can sense stress and emotional upset, and crying babies may be upsetting for them at first. Treats and rewards are helpful in reassuring your pet. Talk with a veterinarian if you have concerns about your pet and your new baby.

text: I REALLY hate Tatering. ESPECIALLY during the playoffs. If you want any chance of winning against your opponent that is Tatering, you have no choice but to do it as well. It completely explodes the roster that got you there and leaves 100 guys on waivers at any given time. I'm really not trying to be a jerk, just voicing my 2 cents. Unless there's a reasonable transaction limit in place for next season, I think I'm going to have to sit out next season. It really sucks all enjoyment out of it for me. (Wow, this post really sounds negative, whiny and ultimatumy. That wasn't my intention at all!)

Happy Protest Day.
Day two of ELS 2012 began with war stories from Ernst van Waning on his work as a consultant for SRI (his talk should of course not be confused with his employer's views; Pascal Costanza's opinions from yesterday were similarly disclaimed) on their AURA project. We had a confusing video-in-video demonstration, which is perhaps taking the conservative approach to the Demo Effect a little bit too far. A point that might be worth mentioning again is that Lisp is not immune to memory leaks; in the KM (warning: 1990s-compatible website) knowledge management software, many interned symbols get generated during the course of a query and do not get removed later. We've encountered this in SBCL in the past; for example, in the SBCL build itself, towards the end of the process, we compile and load PCL, then in a fresh bootstrap image just load the fasls before dumping the final image; this is so that many internal symbols created by reading the code don't end up in the final image. (Though something that has been suggested a few times is that packages should intern their symbols in a hash table which is weak: dear cleverweb, is there any way in which this can be detected? Think like pfdietz).
After coffee, and surprisingly packaged filled croissants, Marco Benelli gave us his experiences of using Scheme (specifically Gambit-C) in industrial automation. There were some interesting constraints – the approach had to support uClinux as well as more full-fat distributions, and... exotic architectures like sh. After that came Gunnar Völkel, talking about Algorithm Engineering with Clojure ("Algorithm Engineering" here seemed to mean the cycle of algorithm design, analysis, implementation and evaluation); the start of the talk was about implementing tracing and profiling, using a name-based registry before function definition to specify interceptions which wrap function implementation, which worried me because it seemed like a description of what should already exist (the lack of documented support for advice/fwrappers in SBCL notwithstanding). After that, we had a description of their team's Experiment Definition Language, used to generate code in an Experiment Setup Language, which then performs a whole experimental run (of the order of weeks) for various different parameters. I'm not convinced about the composability of the interception design; one issue is that since it overrides the defining forms, it is automatically incompatible with any similar extension (just as SERIES is incompatible with SCREAMER and Lexicons: each of them wants to own defun) – another is that, because the interceptions modify the source code, there's no sensible ordering: one of the example functions was both traced and profiled, which means that either the profiling code becomes traced (where the user is probably not interested in the execution of the otherwise-invisible profiling code) or the tracing code becomes profiled (which detracts from the utility of the profiling data).
One more long lunch break later, and we're into the afternoon iteration: Irène Durand talking about enumerators, and Alessio Stalla about do+, both dealing with ways of structuring iteration. Irène's taxonomy of enumerators might bear closer attention, while Alessio's "I don't hate loop" polemic against the use of a code walker in an iteration construct (iterate) seemed to be a totally reasonable point. There was some interesting probing of the limitations as well as the extensibility of the design – Pascal Costanza brought up the fact that loop allows e.g. if foo collect bar into quux else nconc baz into quux (forgive the attack of metasyntosis), while this variety of accumulation function into the same accumulator appears not possible in the do+ design.
Lightning talks: a virtual filesystem based on queries; return-with-dynamic-extent; HIV as recursive immune system process; pathnames (gah! pathnames!); high-performance network appliances; interoperability choices; and homoiconicity (Didier gives highly-engaging lightning talks: "musical notation is Tuning-complete"). Then announcements (a big thanks to Marco Antoniotti, Franjo Penar and his local team), dinner, bed.

For the hardcore ESB Fett fanatics there is a good Letraset replacement for your replica helmet. Altough the sheet is Mecanorma and not Letraset, it is closer to the real deal than anything else and while it says simply Folio, it is the correct Folio Bold Condensed 7.7mm or 28pt font type. Here is the link to the site ==> Mecanorma Folio 7.7mm Dry Transfer Sheets
And this is the sheet with the correct font for reference:
This is not my sale (and I don't earn anything from this) and I think is a bit against the forum rules (for posting others sales and not yours), but I wanted to post this because this might help somebody to achieve an accurate helmet.

Good idea, thanks for the info Jorn.
Ten frames Langstroth boxes, cut those into half -- 5 frames. use oil hardened massonite to make the missing wals. Now you can use those as honey boxes by placing those side by side on top of the brood box(es).
Jorn, please define oil hardened massonite.
Dallas, How about a spring follow up.How are those bees doing? have you finished up your spring build up yet? Making your splits, being in Florida and all I guess your a busy man now. :-DI'm in the north and I'm going to start feeding patties and syrup this next next week to start my build up. I have seven hives I would to split in eight to 10 weeks. Depending on weather should coinside with our May flow.Steve

I would prefer returning to small independent regional methods that were the origins of the news media.
I see he neglected the part of the taxpayers being forced to own GM and then being sold out at a loss.On another note, I don't here any commotion in liberal media about the FCC monitoring news content. A straight forward attack on the free press, after the audits, lawsuits and phone taps that have already occurred against people that report negatively on his majesty. Can you say Pravda? Can anyone really think a reporter might post a less than admirable post about the government if their license could be revoked? I can see investigative reporting going away with the veiled threats just having the FCC monitoring your content ahead of time would impose.
You mentioned that Mother Jones was nonprofit as if it made them more credible. You highlighted the non profit journalism.
I have nothing against non profits.You just have to realize they usually have an agenda just like the for profits. There was some intent with making the point they were nonprofit or you wouldn't have thrown that into the post.The IRS seems to have the biggest problem with non profits if they appear to be conservative.As far as awards,it just depends on who hands them out.The academy awards and golden globe awards are perfect examples of meaningless awards,as well as the Times person of the year award. And let's not forget the lack of credibility of recent Nobel Peace prize awards.

Saddle Bag Liners
Dan you are right the colors available are bright. I am going to make saddle bag liners out of it. The wild colors will be great to go with all the crazy paint jobs people are putting on their bikes. I will be sure to post some pics when I get the first ones made. So far I have just ordered the silver and the black. Shipping on 24 yards was $117 from Phoenix because of the bulk, so if anyone finds this material available closer to the east coast please let me know.
Thanks Dan
It takes a good man to admit a mistake and apologize. With that being said I would like to offer my apology to Dan and everyone involved also. I really came unglued and said things that didn't need to be said to a lot of people when in my eyes I was wronged. After a very rough start in a phone conversation with Dan yesterday we were able to talk like two grown men. Dan then showed what kind of man he is by going out of his way to right a wrong. Thanks again this is a great site and I hope to be around awhile.

Diamond pleated velour
I talked to Butch Watson this morning. First of all, I want to apologize to all the characters in this fiasco, including the moderators, for creating this sh it storm by questioning the existence of pre-pleated velour fabric.
Sometimes I see evil where there is none, and I pulled the trigger on this one way too quick. What I saw looked to me to be a plot to advertise H&R fabrics and Butch's business. I searched the internet, and also checked out the H&R web site, and could not find any mention of pre-pleated velour fabric. This has turned out to be not the case, so I apologize to JeffB and also to Butch. I will lift the ban on Butch and delete his second user name, cappie.
I am going to try and get a picture of this fabric and post it here.
Once again, I apologize to Butch. He's just an honest businessman trying to make a living. He and I have talked like two adults, and there are no hard feelings. Please post some pictures of what you're using this fabric for.

ERIE, Pa.- James Chayka scored with 12.9 seconds left, lifting the #1 Mercyhurst men's lacrosse team past #9 Dowling, 12-11, in a dramatic match at Tullio Field Saturday afternoon. The Lakers trailed 4-0 and 9-6 before rallying to keep their unbeaten season alive.
Mercyhurst fell behind early, but gathered itself and got back in the game. Each team threw haymakers back and forth, with Dowling eventually taking a 9-6 advantage late in the third quarter. The Lakers responded again, as Chayka scored to tie the game at 10 with 5:11 remaining.
Mitch McAvoy won the ensuing faceoff and sprinted in, finding Jake McAndrew for a goal and an 11-10 edge with 4:58 left. The Golden Lions answered, however, as Matt Crough scored his fourth goal of the day to even the score with 1:35 to play.
McAvoy faced off with Louis Riley. McAvoy was able to push the ball toward the Dowling net and eventually corralled possession long enough for Coach Chris Ryan to call timeout and set up a final play. After running the clock down, the Lakers swung the ball around. Chayka passed right to Zac Reid, who threw to Scheetz behind the goal. Scheetz moved to his right and found Chayka, who fired from 12 yards out, beating Dowling goalie Myles Harvey with 12.9 seconds showing on the clock.
On the next faceoff, Riley had a step on McAvoy, but Ryan Sullivan stepped in and scooped up the ground ball, allowing the Lakers to run out the clock and escape with their biggest win of the year.
Dowling came out of the gates on fire, going ahead, 4-0, after 8:14 in the first quarter. Mercyhurst quickly dusted itself off and got to work. Scheetz assisted on a McAndrew goal with 6:26 remaining to get on the board. Fifty seconds later, Brady Heseltine scored. However, Derek Muzio answered with a Lion goal to regain some control.
After a Michael Grace save, the Lakers went on the attack, with Reid scoring at the 3:23 mark to make it 5-3. Mercyhurst stopped a Dowling man-up chance, as Sullivan caused a turnover and passed ahead to McAndrew, who was stopped, but Patrick Maloney collected the rebound and scored with seven seconds left in the period. It was Maloney's first career goal
The first quarter saw five penalties and the second frame matched that number. Neither offense could get much momentum going, as each side had several man-up opportunities bear no fruit. Dowling eventually put a few shots on goal and with 11 seconds remaining, Kevin McElhone scored to give the visitors a 6-4 halftime lead.
The second half was a heart-stopping, seesaw affair. Dowling scored just 36 seconds in, taking a 7-4 advantage. The Lakers fought back. With 9:35 left in the frame, Chayka scored his first goal of the day. McAvoy won the ensuing faceoff and went on the offensive. He shot, but Harvey stopped the try. McAvoy dove and poked the ball past Harvey nine seconds after Chayka's goal. With momentum on its side, Mercyhurst attempted four shots, but came up empty each time. The Lions gained possession and called timeout with 4:18 showing on the clock. Dylan Hopkins promptly scored and Matt Crough found the back of the net to make it 9-6 with 2:56 left.
Once again, the hosts bounced back. After Chayka hit the post, McAndrew scored to cut the deficit to 9-7 with 33 seconds to go in the third. The drama continued in the fourth period, as Chayka shot and then picked up the rebound and scored while falling down. The goal made it 9-8 with 12:11 remaining. Dowling, the 2012 NCAA Champions, responded with another Crough goal at the 8:47 mark.
Less than a minute later, McAndrew hit Chayka for another goal to pull the Lakers back within one. After a Dowling turnover, Mercyhurst finally had another chance to tie the score. With 5:11 left, Scheetz assisted on another Chayka goal, putting the score at 10-all.
Chayka finished with a career-high five goals, including four in the fourth quarter. McAndrew had three goals and an assist. Scheetz posted three assists, while McAvoy had a goal and a helper. Crough paced the Lions with four goals. Grace made 12 saves in net, while Harvey recorded 15 stops.
Mercyhurst outshot Dowling, 46-34, and picked up 26 ground balls to 14 for Dowling (5-3). Riley won 15-25 faceoffs, but McAvoy came up with several key wins to keep the Lakers in it.
The Lakers (9-0) have now won 29 consecutive regular season games and 17 straight regular season home outings. They host Alderson-Broaddus on Sunday, April 7, at 1 p.m. It will be senior day for nine Lakers.


text: I just responded to your thread on the Beretta and then see the one on the Glock 26 I also have a Glock 26 and think it is a great gun. I don't prefer one over the other, but the Glock and Beretta are quit a bit different. The Glock 26 makes a really good CCW piece and actually a pretty good range gun also. It's amazing how easy it it to shoot such a small gun accurately. The Glock is a striker fired pistol, which gives it a great trigger. It also has no external safety, which could be considered a plus or minus depending on how you look at it. The Glock can handle +P ammo and is very rugged and reliable gun that most people can't afford to shoot out in a life time. A lot of people don't find Glocks to be very attractive, but that doesn't bother me. The Glock 26 can also accept longer magazines from the Glock 19 or 17, for added capacity. Great lil gun.

Are you guys going for 100% accurate or something that looks good and fits well?

Arsène Wenger says he wants to be able to "stand in front of the mirror" at the end of the season and know that he got the maximum out of his team.
The Frenchman has come in for criticism from some quarters this season but Wenger insists it does not affect him. The Arsenal manager is only focused on helping his side reach their full potential.
"Look, I am not worried about me. I am worried about the Club and the team, and to do the best for the Club and the team," he said. "For the rest, I think I have always shown my 100 per cent commitment and loyalty to this Club.
"I can only give my best and let people judge. It does not hurt at all - I am determined to give my best. At the moment we are fighting on all fronts. My job is to get the best out of my team with the potential we have.
"For example, at the end of last season we finished third. Honestly I don't think there was much more in the team than finishing third. My pride comes from that as well.
"Like when we won the Premier League with zero defeats, which nobody else has done. You can think there is not much room to do much better.
"At the end of the season, I want to stand in front of my mirror and think, 'could you have done more?'. I would like to see that. That's all."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

|I think fungal infections are really under diagnosed.
|Good luck on Monday. I hope you get some answers.
Fungal Infection
Also, both the specialist vet clinics initially claimed that my dog's infection was not fungal. Conidiobolus is quite rare and very few vets are familiar with it. Texas A&M said it definitely wasn't fungal and were sure it was cancer. When the biopsy report came back they said it was Pythium, which is a fungal infection (called swamp cancer). Pythium does not typically affect the nose and mouth in dogs, however Conidiobolus (and I believe Basidiobolus) often affect the nose.
Sorry...I didn't see where my previous edit showed up so posted again.

The itraconzole because of the GSD's susceptibility to fungal issues, and because of the number of antibiotics he has been on. The doxy because it is an anti-inflammatory, and has some good anti-cancer properties.
I havne't seen any drug therapies tried, and, if this is my dog, I would start trying some. Biopsies and cultures and can still miss a number of things.
I'm not sure that the IgA deficiency ever made sense to me - you would see other signs before you saw a bump on the nose, I think.
|Also forgot to mention that we called the breeder to ask if any of his litter/mom/dad have experienced of these issues. Of course she told me no (not sure if I believe her).
Well.... just thought I would give an updated on where Griffey is at right now in the diagnosis phase.
Ill sort by events that have occurred in chronological order for anyone that hasn't read the entire thread. Keep in mind, he is 13 months old. I know it doesn't matter the age sometimes, but most things I have read occur in older dogs.
April - A lump was noticed on top of his snout. Difficulty breathing at night, inflammation, and a runny nose were persistent. He was also in noticeable pain when the nose was pressed on. Vet prescribed antibiotics and pain killers in hope that it was a simple bacterial infection.
May - Symptoms persisted. Griffey was referred to a specialist (who was filling in for the "normal" specialist. We have only talked to the doctor that performed the tests once). A CT scan was performed as well as a rhinoscopy. Bone destruction was seen in the CT scan along with inflammation through the scope. A biopsy was taken and reviewed by the regular specialist at the hospital we took him to. She confirmed no cancer and no fungal infections (what a relief to me at the time). She told us she thought it could be a possible IGA deficiency and asked us to get a blood test.
June - blood test done and returned a week later. Blood tested negative for IGA deficiency. We also tested for mascular myositis which also came back negative (he was in pain when opening his mouth which is why the test was performed). Griffey was given rimadyl and some more antibiotics for the time being in order to control the inflammation.
July - everyone around us was convinced his issues were due to something he was allergic to. We gave him some benadyrl for a couple days straight which did not help.
So that's where we stand. This vet and specialist are extremely disappointing as they take a week to get back to us on every single issue. There appears to be no sense of urgency. Due to this, we are going to a more experienced vet in hopes that he can point us in a better direction. We hope to be recommended to a better specialist as well since the one we had been talking to only works Mondays and Tuesdays and is extremely difficult to get a hold of. I am concerned about the possibility that "maybe" the fill in doctor that performed the rhinoscopy messed up and it has caused a false negative result. Is this possible? The bump on his nose is getting bigger every week. I have attached a picture to show what it looks like as of two hours ago.
If anyone has any similar symptoms or can help in any way please do. I am open to discussing all possible causes.
|My GSD had very similar symptoms 6 months ago. I took him to several specialist vets and had numerous imaging tests, cultures and biopsies. He couldn't breathe through his nose and had a huge ulcerative lesion on his hard palate. I almost put him down as he seemed miserable (lost weight, lethargic, his eye started bulging). I spent every day researching his illness and am so glad I did. He was eventually diagnosed with a fungal infection; Texas A&M said it was Pythium, but I knew it wasn't. It was Conidiobolus (Conidiobolomycosis) which is rare. He was diagnosed and treated by Dr. Grooters at LSU (through my vet in Houston). After a few weeks of being on Sporonox (Itraconazole) his condition improved dramatically. He is continuing to take the Itraconazole for a year as this nasty fungal infection often returns when treatment is D/C'd. I hope this helps. If anyone has a dog with similar symptoms, please feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I am so fortunate to have found a cure for my baby and I want to make sure other's have this information.
|I am not sure that the health problems you pup had are totally out of the ordinary. Pano is common in GSDs, infections can happen. After the first one the immune system is compromised and other infections develop easier. As he matures and his immune system develops, he can improve. There was Bubbles in Baltimore, the dog that had the giant growth on the nose (muzzle). It was bone branched like a christmas tree. That should be visible in the x-ray.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday November 5th, 2013 1:30am
TOWSON, Md. — He is Goucher's new head men's lacrosse coach, but he is not new to the school's men's lacrosse program.
Brian Kelly, hired five years ago to be the top offensive assistant on Kyle Hannan's staff, is now succeeding Hannan as head coach at Goucher, according to a statement made this afternoon by Geoffrey M. Miller, the institution's athletics director.
"We are genuinely excited by the prospect of Brian Kelly taking over our men's lacrosse program," Miller said in announcing the hiring. "Following a national search, we feel we found the person internally who can sustain the progress made in recent years and propel us forward to an even higher level. He is, without a doubt, the best fit for Goucher and the intercollegiate athletics department.
"We have observed Coach Kelly's work teaching, mentoring and developing the players in our program since Coach Hannan brought him onboard, and Brian has been a big part of this lacrosse program's success. He has a proven business track record as a leader and salesperson. He is well connected in the lacrosse community, particularly the Baltimore lacrosse community. And he knows the players on our team, as well as many of our prospects, well. This, we trust, will make the transition a relatively seamless one."
Kelly attended Johns Hopkins and while there played on two teams that advanced to the national semifinals of the NCAA Division I men's lacrosse playoffs. In addition to being an honorable mention Division I All-American by the USILA in 1993, he was the recipient of the Turnbull-Reynolds Award given to a men's lacrosse player for outstanding character and leadership.
"I am extremely humbled and honored to have been selected as the next men's lacrosse coach at Goucher College," Kelly commented after accepting the offer. "I am grateful to President (Sanford) Ungar, (Dean of Students) Gail Edmonds, and Geoff Miller for providing me the opportunity to continue my association with this highly regarded academic institution and its first-class athletics department.
"I am excited to go to work on continuing and furthering the legacy of success at Goucher College established most recently by Kyle Hannan. Also, I need to thank my family, most specifically my wife Holly, son Will and daughter Grace for their support during this process. We are all extremely excited to be Gophers!"
Kelly becomes only the fourth head coach in the 21-year history of Goucher's men's lacrosse program.
Hannan, who resigned in August to become the head men's lacrosse coach at Mercer, a Division I institution located in Macon, Georgia, guided the Gophers to 121 wins during his 12-year tenure. In 2012, his team captured its second Landmark Conference championship in three years and defeated Washington (Md.), 5-4, in the opening round of the NCAA Division III playoffs on the way to an 18-2 record.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Multnomah University's Fall 2010 enrollment is at an all-time
high with a total of 915 students. Overall, Multnomah has 65 more students
enrolled compared to last Fall 2009. While the traditional undergrad
programs and Adult Degree Completion held steady, the new graduate
programs and a more robust enrollment at the Reno-Tahoe campus make up the bulk
of the gains.
Campus Buzz
Staff members noted an excitement among new students during
the four-day orientation event on August 26-29. Students showed a strong desire
and eagerness to get to know each other, the faculty and staff, the
institution, and the city of Portland.
Women's residence halls and graduate student housing is at capacity,
and the men's residence hall and family housing are near capacity. The
all-school retreat at Young Life's Washington Family Ranch saw a record-high
attendance, a dashboard indicator to residence staff that an exciting year is
in store, with a lot of desire from students to be involved.
"This is one of the strongest enrollments the college has
had for quite a while," Multnomah Admissions Director John Mayner said. "Despite
the economic concerns, there seems to be an understanding of the value an
education at Multnomah brings not only for the individual but also for the
larger Christian community."
"When I walk into the new coffee shop or our main lounge,
students are engaged either in their studies or with each other which I love to
see," Dean of Student Services Matt Rygg said. "I've seen a theme here: an
eagerness to engage in relationship, the Word, and the community."
"Multnomah University is very blessed and excited to see a
record enrollment of 915 students this fall and a healthy retention of
students," Gina Berquist, Multnomah University vice president of Enrollment
Services, said. "This simply keeps the mission fresh in our minds that we are
here to equip our students to be a transforming force in the world, and
we look forward to seeing how God works this next year."

War on Political Correctness
posted at 1:55 pm on October 9, 2012 by Amy Lutz
I was unaware that, as a Republican, I had declared a "war" on children, Sesame Street, the poor, etc. I'm still confused how I, as a woman, am declaring a war on my own gender, but I digress. However, since declaring a fictional "war" is the thing to do, I'm making a declaration here and now. I'm firing the first shots in what I've dubbed the "War on Political Correctness." A sampling of my intended skirmishes is below.
1. Climate Change (n): A term used to explain any sort of weather phenomenon that can be exploited by Al Gore. Government regulation usually follows. (Synonym: Global Warming.)
2. Workplace Violence (n): Term used to label any sort of violence perpetrated by Islamic extremists shouting "Allahu Akbar." These episodes are not affiliated with extreme religious sentiments; rather, they are secular and rare. (Synonym: Act of Terror)
3. Undocumented (adj): The name for people from other countries, who through no fault of their own, were "crossed" by the border. Saying "they crossed the border" or "they broke the law" is racist. (Synonym: Illegal)
4. Holiday (n): A secular celebration designed to preserve the feelings of progressive atheists while maintaining every American's "right" not to be offended. (Synonyms: Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan)
5. Tolerance (n,v): The acceptance of all left-leaning ideas regardless of any hint of radicalsim or moral corruption. Right-leaning ideas, however, are not to be tolerated. Rather, conservatism is labeled as "bigoted." (Synonym: Intolerance)
6. Social Justice: A touchy-feely term designed to act as a chameleon on our psyches. It means what you want it to mean. Often is synonymous with redistribution of wealth. (Synonym: Marxism)
7. Reproductive Right (n): An imaginary right invented by liberal feminists like to ensure that abortion is universally available. Also serves as Sandra Fluke's excuse to beg for free birth control. (Synonym: Social Liberalism)
8. Economic Patriotism (n): No definition provided. Used to make tax hikes sound warm and fuzzy. (Synonym: Whatever the heck Barack Obama wants it to mean.)
9. Pro-Choice: The right to choose to murder your unborn child. Not applicable in cases of diet nannyism. (Synonym: Pro-Abortion)
10. Fair Share: The amount of money paid by wealthy job creators designed to punish them for their success. Often used alongside "class warfare." (Synonym: Whatever those in power determine as "fair.")
I'm throwing out the dictionary of liberal "politically correct" terms. In my newly declared War on Political Correctness, my weapon of choice is rhetoric; accurate, forceful rhetoric. The influx of political correctness into our daily lives has taken the teeth out of the English Language. Instead, we've become a nation so afraid of offending someone else that our language has become more vanilla than Ned Flanders. We cannot progress without an accurate exchange of ideas and if we're allowing the left to determine our narrative with their own language, we're bound to lose. Thus, I urge you to put the backbone back in our language. Rhetorical cowardice is not becoming.

Glacier Mass Balance: equilibrium or disequilibrium response?
Figure 1. CRYSYS (CRYospheric SYStem in Canada) mass balance program (M. Demuth) monitors the Place and Helm Glacier in the British Columbia, Coast Range north of Vancouver. The USGS benchmark program monitors South Cascade Glacier, North Cascades, WA (R. Krimmel), Wolverine Glacier, Kenai Mountains, AK and Gulkana Glacier, Alaska Range, AK (R. March). The Juneau Icefield Research Program monitors the mass balance of Lemon Creek Glacier, Coast Range, AK (M. Miller and M. Pelto). The North Cascade Glacier Climate Project monitors the mass balance of Columbia, Daniels, Easton, Foss, Ice Worm, Lower Curtis, Lynch, Rainbow, Sholes, and Yawning Glacier, North Cascades, WA (M. Pelto).
Figure 2. The annual mass balance signal is remarkably coherent from glacier to glacier.
Annual mass balance measurements over at least 20 years are available on 16 glaciers in North America which are submitted to the WGMS. The annual balance and cumulative balance records of these glaciers illustrate the adjustment of these glaciers to climate change from 1984-2005 (Figure 1-2). The annual balance record, in meters of water equivalent, 1984-2005 indicates that despite continued significant retreat of all 16 glaciers, mass balances are declining. The mean annual mass balance has declined from -0.35 m/a 1984-1990, to -0.59 m/a in 1991-1997, to -0.91 m/a from 1998-2005. Instead of approaching equilibrium after several decades of dominantly negative annual balance, and significant retreat, mass balance is becoming more negative. This indicates the glaciers are getting further away from equilibrium, not approaching it. The consistency of the cumulative balance trends further indicates the glaciers mass balance record is dominated by large scale regional to global climate change.
Which glaciers are experiencing an equilibrium response? Glacier thinning in the accumulation zone is limited on Lemon Creek (Miller and Pelto, 1999), Gulkana and Wolverine (Sapiano, et. al, 1998), and Easton, Lynch and Rainbow Glacier (Pelto, 2006). Each appears able to retreat to a new point of equilibrium with the current climate. On Columbia, Daniels, Foss, Ice Worm, Lower Curtis, Sholes, and Yawning Glacier thinning is not notably less in the accumulation zone than the ablation zone, indicating disequilibrium (Pelto, 2006). Two North Cascade glaciers where mass balance measurements were conducted the Spider and the Lewis Glacier disappeared during this interval (Pelto, 2006). On Helm and Place Glacier the loss of more than 20% of their entire volume, since 1984 suggest they too are in disequilibrium. South Cascade Glacier has lost 70% of its volume since 1890 (Josberger et al., 2006), and is still experiencing large negative balances indicating disequilibrium. In Glacier National Park, North Cascades, Helm Glacier and Place Glacier frequent loss of the entire snowcover by the end of the ablation season has become commonplace (WGMS, 2005). The result is in net ablation throughout the accumulation area causing thinning of the glacier in the accumulation zone.
Are the glaciers responding primarily to climate changes of the last 30 years, or to the post Little Ice Age conditions? In the North Cascades Rainbow, Yawning, Easton and Lower Curtis Glacier all advanced during the 1950-1975. Sholes, Columbia, Ice Worm, did not advance or retreat significantly during this period. Thus, each of these glaciers is definitively responding to the climate of the last 30 years.

I know playing time for Rip, Gordon, and Tay are used a lot as excuses - but all three of these guys have played extensively while recovering from injuries, not to mention all the time they missed from the injuries to begin with. To me, no way there is an excuse for all three of these guys not getting extensive time to this point. And even tonight, Summers only got to play due to an injury.

Gambling promotion & alcohol ads on TV
25 May 2013 , 10:23 AM by Rob Minshull
When millions of Australians sit down in front of the TV this weekend to watch the footy they will also be watching advertisements and promotions for alcohol and gambling.
Tobacco advertising was banned on Australian radio and television in 1976. Today, the rules forbid alcohol ads to appear on TV before 8.30pm. But there is an exemption for sports broadcasts. Then, of course, there is the issue of gambling advertisements.
So what is worse? The ads for alcohol or the advertising of gambling? A think tank called The Australia Institute has just carried out a survey on the issue. Matt Grudnoff is from The Australia Institute and is talking to Warren Boland.

Given the problems a number of our young athletes have had with both alcohol and gambling, it is a great pity other sponsors can't be found. I seems as long as the money is there for the broadcasters then they really don't care about the consequences. Simple throw away lines, like gamble responsibly or drink responsibly don't cut it for me.

Peanut Gallery: Right-Wing Media's Debate Advice For Mitt Romney
Research ››› ››› REMINGTON SHEPARD & HANNAH GROCH-BEGLEY
Right-wing media are offering GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney advice for the upcoming presidential debate. They suggest Romney should push economic myths to attack Obama's record, "smack the president," and get under Obama's skin.
Conservative Media: Romney Should Mislead About Economy To Attack Obama...
NYT's David Brooks Advised Romney To Say "The Economy In 2012 Is Worse Than The Economy In 2011." In a October 1 New York Times op-ed, columnist David Brooks advised Romney to say that the economy is worse now than it was in 2011:
The Obama administration, which is either hostile to or aloof from business, has made a thousand tax, regulatory and spending decisions that are biased away from growth and biased toward other priorities. American competitiveness has fallen in each of the past four years, according to the World Economic Forum. Medical device makers, for example, are being chased overseas. The economy in 2012 is worse than the economy in 2011. That's inexcusable. [The New York Times, 10/1/12]
- In Fact, Economic Data Indicates That The Economy Is Better Off Now Than It Was One Year Ago. Since 2011, GDP has grown to $15.586 trillion and the private sector has added over 3 million jobs. Moreover, the stock market has increased in value by nearly 24 percent, and in the second quarter of 2012, home values hit their highest value since 2008. [Media Matters, 10/2/12]
Breitbart.com: Romney Should Convey The Message That The U.S. Needs To "Cut Taxes To Stimulate Growth." An October 1 Breitbart.com post advised Romney to simplify his message and suggested that he convey the "conservative message" of "cut[ting] taxes to stimulate growth":
The conservative message is pretty simple: cut taxes to stimulate growth, get rid of business-stifling government regulations so the free market can prevail, and keep the country safe. No need to reinvent the wheel. The founders did it all already. We need you, Mitt, to be the leader who will put the message into practice.
You seem like a really nice guy, Mitt. You have a great running mate. And you have a conservative base that is really fired up and ready to go. So, when you meet Barack in Colorado on Wednesday night for the first debate, clearly spell out your plans so that everyone believes what you say. [Breitbart.com, 10/1/12]
- TPC: Tax Cuts For High Earners "Will Do Relatively Little To Boost The Economy In The Short Run." In an August 2010 post, Tax Policy Center economist Howard Gleckman pointed out that tax cuts for the wealthy generally do not go back into the economy. Gleckman noted: "We know that higher income households are more likely to bank the cash than spend it. As a result, tax cuts for these high-earners will do relatively little to boost the economy in the short run." [Tax Policy Center, 8/31/10]

Laura Ingraham: Romney Needs To Remind People That "We Have Really 11.7 Percent Unemployment." During the September 30 edition of Fox News Sunday, Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham suggested that in the debate, Romney should claim that the U.S. "really" has "11.7 percent unemployment." [Fox Broadcasting, Fox News Sunday, 9/30/12]
- BLS: "The Unemployment Rate Edged Down to 8.1 Percent" In August. In a September 7 press release, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that "the unemployment rate edged down to 8.1 percent" in August. [Bureau of Labor Statistics, 9/7/12]
... Should Verbally "Smack" Obama ...
Bill O'Reilly: Romney Has To "Smack The President." On Fox & Friends, Fox host Bill O'Reilly encouraged Romney to "put aside his politician persona" and "smack the President" in the debates
O'REILLY: Look, Mitt Romney, it's all on him. All on him. All President Obama has to do is basically just be himself, and not say anything, just repeat the same old thing. But Mitt Romney has to convince the American people that going forward he's a better alternative than the president. That's not going to be easy. So he's going to have to paint the President as an incompetent. Now this Libya thing can be part of that, but certainly the economy way more important to the folks than Libya. But he can weave it. The second thing is that Romney has got to kinda put aside his politician persona. I mean he looks perfect, right? He looks like a president should look. But that's not working against him, because people don't know who he is. He's got to find a way to say look, this is who I am, this is why I'm better, in very simple terms. It's a daunting task for the governor.
GRETCHEN CARLSON (co-host): Yeah, it is, because if he comes across as sort of being in attack mode, which a lot of republicans want him to be, then the press might say, "Oh wow, he really went too far."
O'REILLY: He doesn't get -- he can't care about the press.
CARLSON: Ok.
O'REILLY: He can't care about them one bit. He's got to smack the president like Laura Ingraham would smack him. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 10/2/12]
Sean Hannity: "I'd Like To See Romney" "Hit" Obama "With A Left Hook, Verbally." On his Fox News show, Sean Hannity encouraged Romney to "hit" Obama with a "verbal punch":
HANNITY: Romney, this is a big opportunity for him. I don't think this president has ever taken a verbal punch. If I'm right, and he's arrogant, somebody hits him with a left hook, verbally, and then continues to jab him on his failed policies, he is going to react and it will be visible. I'd like to see Romney do that
HANNITY: I'll be honest. If he doesn't hit as hard as he hit Newt in the Florida debates, I'll be angry. [Fox News, Hannity, 10/1/12]
Chris Stirewalt: "Romney's Got To Attack, Attack, Attack." During a discussion of the debates on Fox News' America Live, Fox News digital politics editor Chris Stirewalt said Romney must "attack, attack, attack" Obama:
STIREWALT: The way that he has to do when he gets on stage in Denver is this. Attack President Obama, don't worry when the punditry says it was too mean or it was shallow or it was short on specifics or whatever. They always say that. It doesn't matter, they always say that. He's got to launch an attack on President Obama, he's got to weather the storm when the press says, "Oh you're doing it wrong, oh we don't like what you're doing." That's what they always say, especially about Republicans. So Romney's got to attack, attack, attack, and then use that time in front of those viewers to lay out three points, three simple points about what he wants to do, hit hard, keep it simple, and get out of town. [Fox News, America Live, 9/27/12]
... And Should Get Under Obama's Skin
O'Reilly: Romney Should "Fluster" Obama. In a discussion with Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume, O'Reilly said that Romney "hasn't been forceful enough," and encouraged Romney to "fluster" Obama during the debates. He also encouraged Romney to convince Americans he can "fix" the economy by saying, "Hey, I'm your handy man here. I can fix it." [Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor, 10/1/12]
Charles Krauthammer: Romney Should Get Under Obama's Skin. On Fox News' Special Report, contributor Charles Krauthammer called Obama "thin-skinned" and said it would help "if Romney can manage to get under his skin in some way."
KRAUTHAMMER: Obama is really good. And he did come out of nowhere, he beat the Clinton machine. He did it in part in his debates, in his oratory. So I think he's going to be strong. I think his one weak point is that he is thin-skinned. You occasionally will see it in the press conference. And if Romney can manage to get under his skin in some way -- I think that actually happened in '08, one or two of the Clinton debates -- I think it could, sort of, puncture that aura that Obama had. I don't think it will be any way be decisive. I think the one thing that is going to help Romney is that simply being on the stage is always true of the challenger, just being on the same stage as the president instantly raises your stature. And I think if he can hold his own and perhaps prevail to even a minor extent he will reverse momentum which has been rather negative in the last couple of weeks. [Fox News, Special Report, 10/1/12]
Conservative Media Also Advise Romney To, Among Other Things, Show "He's Not A Monster"
Dick Morris: "Romney Must Show That He's Not A Monster." On Fox News' Hannity, Fox contributor Dick Morris encouraged Romney to "show that he's not a monster that eats little children," but that he is "a man of integrity":
MORRIS: But Romney -- there are a whole lot of people right now who want to vote for Romney. Want to vote against Obama. But they don't want to vote for Romney, because of all the negatives Obama's piled on them, which has not been answered. And they've sort of sitting on one side of the synapse, waiting for permission to jump over and vote for Romney. In the debate, Romney must show that he's not a monster that eats little children, and that he's a man of integrity and defending himself on this stuff, can absolutely encourage them to jump over and make it possible for them to do that.
MORRIS: And the challenger has an innate advantage in these debates, because he can show that he's not a monster, that he is informed, that he's OK, that he's reasonable and they can answer the charges. And I think that Obama has left himself very vulnerable to a comeback by Romney in this debate. And I expect to see it. [Fox News, Hannity, 10/01/12]
Donald Trump: If Obama Mentions Romney's Tax Returns, Romney "Should Immediately Ask For Obama's College Records & Applications." In an October 2 tweet, frequent Fox guest Donald Trump wrote, "If Obama mentions Mitt's tax returns in tomorrow's debate then Mitt should immediately ask for Obama's college records & applications."
[Twitter, 10/2/12]
Trump: Romney Should Ask Obama Why His "Autobiography States 'Born In Kenya, Raised In Indonesia.' " In a October 1 tweet, Trump advised Romney to ask Obama why his "autobiography states 'born in Kenya, raised in Indonesia. ' "
[Twitter, 10/1/12]
- Obama Literary Agent: Misidentification Of Obama's Birthplace "A Fact Checking Error." In a May 18 ABC article, Obama's literary agent, Miriam Goderich explained that the promotional booklet that said Obama was born in Kenya was "nothing more than a fact checking error by me -- an agency assistant at the time." [ABC News, 5/18/12]

Michelle Malkin: Romney Should "Take On The Rigged Game" Of Presidential Debates. On Fox News' Hannity, Fox contributor Michelle Malkin expressed her hope that Romney would challenge the "rigged game" of the debates, and represent "mainstream females":
HANNITY (host): I want to get your advice. When you debate, you fight, you fight back with facts. What would you like to see out of Governor Romney one week from now when he's debating?
MICHELLE MALKIN: Well, I'd like him to take on the rigged game that this entire presidential debate system has become. And, of course, they accepted the current lot of lapdog liberals who will be controlling that venue. But he can certainly take notes from his previous debating opponents in the GOP primary, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum. And I certainly don't agree with either of them on anything, on everything, but the way that they challenged the basic false premises of these very far from neutral observers I think was very admirable, and something that appeals not just to the base of the Republican Party and conservatives, but I think especially to those independents. I mean, the first debate will be here in Colorado. This is a huge battleground state. And particularly when it comes to these women issues, the Democrat Party has vastly overreached in this whole idea that women simply think with their chromosomes and their internal organs. And the way that the Democrats have presented themselves as champions of women, when of course they have this destructive economic record, and the caricature of the Sandra Fluke types, and these radical code pinkos, prancing around in costumes dressed up as reproductive organs. This is not what mainstream females are about. We need to have the Romney campaign representing that. [Fox News, Hannity, 9/26/12]

Jerry Falwell: born August 11, 1933, died May 15, 2007.

In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of
gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight. On May 15th 2007, all internet users are to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places. There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the internet network, and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.

In Berlin at least seven flats and office spaces are being searched, amongst which two offices in Bethanien, a social centre in Kreuzberg, Berlin, and the Fusion shop in the same district. The latter is a space used by an antifascist organization and the Interventionist Left. Moreover, a bookshop in Mehringhof and the office spaces of several alternative media projects in Lausitzer Straße have been searched.
The criminal investigation police was putting special attention on the alternative Internet server so36.net. Many left and alternative projects have their websites, mailing lists and mail adresses hosted there. This way, the communication structue of the anti-G8 movement is hit on a sensitive point.
In Hamburg the repression is aimed against the social centre "Rote Flora" and diverse housing projects. Also in the surrounding of Berlin searches are taking place. And there are first reports about searches in the city of Bremen.
The orders for the searches are based on § 129a: "Formation of a terrorist association with the aim to stop the G8 summit". The random selection out of many left housing and infrastructural projects makes clear that the investigation is used as an excuse in order to weaken the mobilization against the G8. "Probably diverse cases of property damage serve as an excuse for these investigations", so the impression of the Campinski Press Group. One of these cases occured at the Kempinski Hotel, where the G8 summit is going to take place. The hotel was targeted with paint balls some months ago.
The context of a §129a investigation are instrumentalized in order to gather data about the protest movement. Besides, such measures have, most likely intended, intimdating effects. Only 2% of all $129a investigations result in sentencing.
However: "Who invites the G8 summit, also invites the protest against it", explains Hanne Jobst of the Berlin Bethanien office. "All attempts to criminalize this movement will not prevent us from exposing worldwide inequalities during the G8 summit."
The repressive acts of the criminal investigation police are not entirely surprising. The left and radical left resistance against the G8 has reached an uncontrollable level for the police. "So far, the police only tried to split the resistance in the public media through hallucinating about an army of 'anarchists'. Now they will try to sabotage the organizational structures", Jobst explains further.
"It is noteworthy that the searchces are targeted agaist all those parts of the resistance that refuse to direct claims to the G8, because they refuse the G8 in general as an illegitimate institution", explains a spokesperson of the Gipfelsoli Info Group."

When: Thursday, May 3, 7:30 p.m.-9:00 p.m.-ish
"What does taqwacore mean to you?
What is the future for taqwacore?
How her words would fare with Michael Muhammad Knight, author of The Taqwacores and an unwitting idol to the young and restless, is anyone's guess. Knight, who is 29 and lives in New York with his dog Sunny - "not as in Sunni Muslim" - downplays his achievement of single-handedly inspiring this subculture that has produced artists such as the Kominas, Secret Trial Five, Vote Hezbollah, Al-Thawra, 8-Bit and Diacritical.
"There was a scene already," says Knight modestly, whose next novel will be titled Osama Van Halen. "I just gave it a name. There were kids out there, doing their thing. I don't think of it as a movement, though, just a group of friends supporting each other."
Knight wrote the book to deal with his own issues. He converted to Islam as a teenager and admits he "burned out" from being so religious. "I was so intense. I felt Islam was so black and white and there were no grey areas. These Muslim kids, who are punks, they are in these grey areas." The kids he refers to have all devoured Knight's work, some taking it literally.
"One kid," he says, "thought the book was non-fiction and thought that stuff in the book actually happened. He got in touch. He said if it wasn't real, that he would make it real." He sounds worried by the suggestion that his book will be a manifesto for Muslim punks. "If the scene develops, I don't want it to be based on my book."
The words stable, door, horse and bolt spring to mind. Some Muslims are deeming his book to be nothing short of a revelation. "When I read The Taqwacores," says Basim Usmani, frontman of The Kominas, "all my reservations about Islam melted away."...
During their planned tour of around 1300 kilometers the activists will take part in bicycle demonstrations ("critical masses"), theatres, and other political actions. On the route through cities like Antwerpen, Nijmegen, Gronau/Ahaus, Muenster, Hamburg and Gorleben they will deal with subjects related to the upcoming G8 meeting. These are for instance the racist migration politics of Fortress Europe, genetic manipulation and exploitation of the earth, and the involvement of the G8 in wars all over the world, including in Afghanistan & Iraq.
The events and actions are prepared by supporters hosting the caravan at different stations."We want to use our time together for exchange and to build networks with various local groups from different backgrounds" Paula Farin explains. The cyclists do not want to take part in the whole neoliberal circus and the division of people along racist and economic criteria. They consider the caravan as a place for experiments where they can realize their ideas and ideals (even if only temporarily). The aim is to create a non-hierarchical structure during the ride, allowing people to learn and act in a self-organized manner. The caravan wants to make it possible for all people to participate, regardless of money, bicycle, physical condition or papers.

Churchill was pulled into the national spotlight after an essay he published following the World Trade Center attacks, where he referred to the victims as "technocrats" and "little Eichmanns." As a result of these comments, and a campaign by right-wing pundit Bill O'Reilly, Churchill was threatened and his career put in jeopardy.
He had originally been scheduled to appear at the University of Winnipeg, but his appearance was canceled. G7 has asked Churchill to deliver the keynote address at the Fort Garry Lectures in History V, Annual Graduate Student Conference on Friday, April 27th (admission is free). His presentation is entitled Kill the Indian, Save the Man: U.S. and Canadian Residential Schools in Context. The event will take place at Rudolph Rocker Cultural Centre at 91 Albert St."
