to Ask Your Gynecologist
Before you slip into those stirrups, here's what you
need to know and what you need to demand.
by Molly M. McGinty
one night you find the local college radio station,
and hear an interview with Kathleen Hanna, a 21-year-old
rock musician from Olympia, Washington, who talks just
like your school friends, but has something big to say:
boys aren't the only ones who can skateboard, and they're
not the only ones who can play guitars. An exquisite
sense of entitlement washes over you. You go to see
Hanna's punk band, Bikini Kill, in concert. The music
is gratingly argumentative, with melodies like a football
cheer gone wrong. Hanna, a volunteer advocate for sexual
abuse survivors, invites girls from the audience to
take the mike between songs and talk about their experiences
of sexual abuse and their stories of abortion. Incongruously,
one guy in the audience yells for Hanna to take off
her shirt, but she ignores him. You pick up some free
zines that girls like you are publishing about how pissed
they are, too-about boys ruling gym class, bras that
chafe, and, in the same breath, dads who just won't
stop at a goodnight kiss. You've found Riot Grrrl, a
music and art movement that Hanna all but founded, an
underground railroad away from the shallow cultural
biosphere you've been trapped in, a network of girls
around the country who, like Hanna says in her lyrics,
are tired of boys being in charge.
Flash forward to the twenty-first century: an era
of thriving musical experimentation and vibrant underground
rock has come and gone, extinct largely because a music
industry Grendel sank in his teeth and shook every indie
scene until its neck snapped. Riot Grrrl was no exception.
But the insular rock-musician boys club was also to
blame, for continuing to evolve largely without women.
Hanna played with Bikini Kill throughout her limelit
Newsweek era, and during that quarter hour women were
safer at shows. Her later projectsa solo record
under the name Julie Ruin, and her current, electronic-inflected
band Le Tigrehave been much less hyped. And after
the spotlight moved off Bikini Kill, after Lilith Fair,
girls ended up back at shows like Woodstock, where the
cries of sexual abuse came not from the empowered women
behind the mike, but from the girls in the crowd. And
the pleas to "take it off" rang not from one keyed-up
boy in the audience, but from several up on stage. Was
it all for naught?
by dylan siegler
Years ago, at a Rock for Choice benefit show that
Bikini Kill played, some female fans were assaulted
in the audience-one in particular by a guy who was rubbing
his penis on her. You'd think at a Rock for Choice show
you'd be safe, but no. And so a bunch of girls grabbed
him and dragged him outside. They didn't beat him up
or anything, but they were stopped by security and told
that if they didn't want these things to happen they
should just stay home and rent videos. In the larger
context of feminism and hatred against women, sex discrimination
at rock shows is just another strategy meant to keep
us at home, inside. It's meant to keep public space
male, and to keep us feeling afraid. And it hasn't really
So, what would make a young woman today think that
taking off her shirt at a concert is a good idea? Everything
would make you think that. Everything! The world tells
you that. Look anywhere! Watch VH1's Behind the Music,
the Def Leppard one, where girls were pulling up their
shirts in the crowd and the band would, like, pick the
one they wanted. You learn that the only way to get
rock-star power as a girl is to be a groupie and bare
your breasts and get chosen for the night. We learn
that the only way to get anywhere is through men. And
it's a lie. Every time you turn on the TV or open Spin,
or any kind of mainstream shit, what you see is just
this rampant misogyny being sold as if it's the new
rebellion, as if feminism completely took over and now
these people are reacting against this new feminazi
fascism that supposedly exists. Part of that has to
do with the backlash against the Lilith Fair and the
fake "year of the woman in rock" bullshit that happened
recently. It's like, well, you girls got your 15 minutes
and now we need to literally, you know, "take back the
night." Except now it's Fred Durst, Limp Bizkit's singer,
taking back the night.
When I think about it, the little girls at Korn concerts,
like a lot of girls and women, probably have dads and
other members of their family who are really sexist,
and they're used to being discounted for being female.
And if they're suffering psychological abuse and possibly
sexual and physical abuse as well, that partly has to
do with the fact that they're female.
how it was for me: suffering from sexism as a kid made
me think that was what the world was all about, and
I ended up seeking out men who replayed that for me.
I think for female fans of openly misogynist groups
and performers, possibly there's a little bit of that
going on. Like, "Oh look, it's my dad onstage with a
mike!" It's the Bad Dad syndrome.
I'm 31, and I'm really not that interested in mainstream
music (though I did like that song on the radio by Kelis,
"Caught Out There," where she goes, "I hate/ You so
much right now!"). I would never go to, like, a Prodigy
concert anyway - I'm not a fan of that kind of music.
But what if I was? And I couldn't go? Sure, there's
Lilith Fair. But what happens to the women who don't
like a lot of the folky stuff, who don't like the sweet,
peace-and-love vibe? Where do those women go? Where
is the smart, aggressive, angry female presence onstage
and in the crowd? I think there's some in hip-hop and
I think that's where a lot of women are turning.
There are so many great things happening right now.
Like my band Le Tigre just did a short tour with The
Need, an incredible lesbian power duo from Olympia.
This summer, they're putting together a full-fledged,
radical rock opera called The Transfused with singer-writer-activist
Nomy Lamm. And then there are women DJs like Kuttin
Kandi and Big Tara and Invincible of Anomolies. And
the record label I'm on, Mr. Lady, is just doing so
much to promote music, videos, and art in the feminist
and queer communities. It's a pretty amazing thing to
be a part of; it gives me a lot of hope.
I feel bad for young girls and musicians who can't
call themselves feminists, but I don't think everyone
has to be unified under one banner. With young women
musicians, it may be a fear that if they call themselves
feminists no one will ever talk about their music. But
I think people are coming around. I've started to have
more experiences where people are talking about my music.
With Le Tigre, the fact that we're experimenting musically
confuses people, because we're supposed to be toeing
this political line: Women, good! Men, bad! My catchphrase
for a while was a line from a Lung Leg song, "What we
need is/ Kung-fu grip/ Not emotional content." We need
to impart skills and teach each other to do things.
We need to be acting and not always sitting around talking
about it. I want both. I want theory and I want action
and I want it all wrapped up together. And going out
and performing music is one way to do that. One of the
reasons I even got in a band was because I used to go
to so many shows and feel so alienated. I was like,
someday I'm going to take the stage and I'm going to
make a safe space for women. There's so much to be had
in women working together and completely saying fuck
it to the whole male power structure.

In 2004, rookie teacher Kristen Bowers faced mounting pressures to teach an overwhelming list of novels, plays, and poetry, an intimidating catalog of writing requirements, and a mounting number of necessary grammar and vocabulary skills to her 9th and 11th grade English students. The demands were clear; how to go about teaching it all was not. Like many teachers, Mrs. Bowers struggled to find appropriate materials to support her lessons and spent countless hours scraping together, modifying, and refining inadequate, inappropriate "professionally-made" materials to motivate and inspire her students, and at the same time, teach the required proficiencies to address the California English Language Arts Standards on which her students were assessed at the time. Frustrated, she finally decided that if the right materials were going to be available to her and other teachers, she was going to have to make them herself! In 2005, Mrs. Bowers set to work to create one of the most comprehensive and innovative standards-aligned Literature Guide sets on the market. Joined by a middle school teacher with 21 years of experience, Secondary Solutions began, and eventually matured into a specialized team of intermediate and secondary teachers who developed a set of materials unsurpassed by all others. By 2010, demand for the same high-quality materials for the elementary classroom inspired the development of sister company, Elementary Solutions. By 2015, both Secondary Solutions and Elementary Solutions had grown as separate entities, both successful in their own right. Originating out of the need for a streamlined operation and a unified solution for all English Language Arts teachers, new parent company Simply Novel was conceived, broadening the vision Mrs. Bowers had sought to produce ten years earlier. Simply Novel—Novel Solutions for the Successful Teacher—strives to offer teaching materials that are practical, innovative, and of the highest quality. Our materials focus on time-tested, research-based best practices for teaching, while offering extensive and rigorous coverage of the Common Core State Standards to which they are fully aligned, and providing you with a comprehensive set of tools to teach an understanding and appreciation of all aspects of English Language Arts. Our products will allow you to focus on the most important aspects of teaching—the personal, one-on-one, hands-on instruction you enjoy most—the reason you became a teacher in the first place!
I am no longer in the classroom, although I work with teachers to develop engaging, practical, and relevant materials to help the newest or the most veteran teacher make the most of his or her time in the classroom.

Twelve years ago, I found myself frustrated and exhausted. I was a relatively new teacher and a seasoned perfectionist who could not find the quality of materials I wanted to use in my teaching. One day, I decided to make a small packet of activities for use in teaching The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to my Juniors. I spent a week gathering and writing, and it paid off! My students LOVED the activities and I loved having my days planned in advance. It dawned on me that I wasn't the only one spending far too much time writing and creating lesson plans, activities, worksheets, quizzes, and tests. I knew there were other teachers, new and veteran alike that were tired of feeling the pressure to teach the content standards and prepare their students for high-stakes testing. I decided that I would really work to create a great packet of activities, worksheets, and more, so that other teachers could have those materials ready in advance. I value literature tremendously, and knew that there was a particular challenge in teaching the required literature and the content standards. I was not willing to part with the great literature and cut it out of my curriculum--that was just not an option for me. I knew I had to somehow combine the literature together with the content standards and test preparation, and after many challenges and sleepless nights, Secondary Solutions was born. Since then, my mother and I (who is now a retired Middle School teacher with over 30 years experience, and a Teacher of the Year award under her belt) have written over 22 Literature Guides and Writing Guides for the Secondary classroom, and are working feverishly night and day (literally!) to complete more. It is an enormous challenge to run a small business and teach at the same time. I find both careers rewarding and challenging. My students love to see what I have been working on, and every time I use something new in the classroom, they ask "Did you write this, too?" To me, this is the most rewarding of all--not only do I have a classroom full of eager and interested students, but they are able to look up at me as a role model and inspiration. They know I hold them to a higher standard, and that they are my guinea pigs for everything--and they love it! They have learned not only the literature and content standards, but they have also learned how to critique a piece of work, give feedback and suggestions, and how to edit, often catching a typo or mistake! I couldn't ask for anything better.

Catholics, World Leaders Welcome New Pope [VIDEO]
World leaders sent in their congratulations and Catholics around the world were celebrating Wednesday after the Vatican announced the election of Argentine Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio to the papacy — making him the first pontiff from the Americas.
As bells tolled and crowds cheered across Latin America, President Barack Obama offered warm wishes to Pope Francis and said the selection speaks to the strength and vitality of the New World.
"I offer our warm wishes to His Holiness Pope Francis," Obama said. "As a champion of the poor and the most vulnerable among us, he carries forth the message of love and compassion that has inspired the world for more than 2,000 years."
In Europe, British Prime Minister David Cameron, French President Francois Hollande, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel also issued statements of congratulations.
Wednesday was "a momentous day for the 1.2 billion Catholics around the world," Cameron said in a message posted to Twitter, while Merkel, the daughter of a Lutheran pastor, said millions of Catholics and non-Catholics alike would be looking to the new pope for guidance not just in questions of faith but in matters of peace, justice and protecting creation.
Merkel said she was particularly happy for Christians in Latin America, who now had one of their own called to be pope for the first time. Francis was elected after German-born Pope Benedict XVI stepped down last month, saying he lacked the strength to continue in the job.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he looked forward to cooperation with the Holy See under Pope Francis' "wise leadership," while European Union leaders Herman Van Rompuy and Jose Manuel Barroso wished the new Catholic leader "a long and blessed pontificate."
The atmosphere across Latin America brimmed with excitement and surprise, with people bursting into tears and cheers on streets from Buenos Aires to Caracas, Venezuela.
"It's incredible!" said Martha Ruiz, 60, who was weeping tears of emotion in the Argentine capital. She said she had been in many meetings with the cardinal and said, "He is a man who transmits great serenity."
At the St. Francis of Assisi church in the colonial Old San Juan district in Puerto Rico, church secretary Antonia Veloz exchanged jubilant high-fives with Jose Antonio Cruz, a Franciscan friar.
"It's a huge gift for all of Latin America. We waited 20 centuries. It was worth the wait," said Cruz, wearing the brown cassock tied with a rope that is the signature of the Franciscan order.
Arcilia Litchfield, a 57-year-old tourist from Albuquerque, New Mexico, was walking down the cobblestone streets when they glanced at a TV and saw that a new pope had been chosen. She and her husband then went to the San Juan Cathedral, where the remains of Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de Leon are buried.
"It's historic. It's the first time a pope has been chosen from this part of the world," she said. "It hasn't sunk in yet."
Even in Communist Cuba, there was pride as church bells rang to celebrate the news. Elsewhere on the continent, people traded stories about the new pontiff.
"You would see him taking public buses," said Maurizzio Pavia, an Argentine now working in Puerto Rico, who said he was familiar with Bergoglio because they both came from the same region. "He would cook his own food. He would not let anyone serve him."
In the United States, the archbishop of Philadelphia said the new pope is a man of "extraordinary intellectual and cultural strengths."
Archbishop Charles Chaput calls Francis a "wonderful choice" who comes from the "new heartland of the global church."
Despite the overwhelming outpouring of joy and goodwill, not everyone thought the news was positive.
Andrew Reding of the World Policy Institute in New York said the choice of Bergoglio was an example of "superficial change."
"Once again, a conclave has made a bold geographical move while choosing a doctrinal conservative," he said. "To paraphrase an old saying, the more things change in the Roman Catholic Church, the more they stay the same."
On Twitter, the pope's mothballed account was revived and read: "HABEMUS PAPAM FRANCISCUM," a reference to the cardinal's new name: Pope Francis.

American Soybean Association leaders and other biofuel supporters are planning a push to make the biodiesel tax credit retroactive to Jan. 1 since the existing credit will expire at midnight tonight (Dec. 31).
The House passed a one-year extension of the credit in early December, but the Senate failed to pass companion legislation because of its focus on health care reform legislation. Industry leaders say a number of biodiesel plants will be forced to shut down without the incentive.
"While the lapse in the tax credit will deal a severe blow to the U.S. biodiesel industry, ASA will continue to work to reinstate the credit retroactively in 2010," a spokesman for the organization said. "ASA, state soybean associations, and the biodiesel industry will press for quick action to extend the biodiesel tax incentive when Congress returns."
"Biodiesel has provided a significant market opportunity for U.S. soybean farmers, as well as jobs and economic development for rural communities, and ASA is proud of its role in establishing the U.S. biodiesel industry," said ASA President Rob Joslin, a soybean producer from Sidney, Ohio.
Joslin said studies have shown biodiesel accounts for about 25 cents per bushel of the price farmers currently receive for their soybeans and could have even more of an impact if Congress would extend the credit for five years and bring added stability to the industry.
Shortly after it became apparent the Senate would not vote on an extension of the biodiesel tax credit, Sens. Max Baucus and Charles Grassley, the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, sent a letter to Congressional leaders informing them they intend to address the expiring biodiesel tax credit as early as possible in January.
"With our letter, we're trying to un-do some of the terrible damage that's been done to biodiesel producers by the fact that the leaders of Congress are letting the biodiesel tax credit expire on Dec. 31," Grassley said.
"This tax credit is non-controversial and had broad-based support. It could have passed as a stand-alone bill at any time during the whole year. Instead, its extension has been held hostage by Senator Harry Reid and Speaker Pelosi in order to try to get other more controversial tax policy through."
Grassley, a Republican from Iowa, said as many as 23,000 jobs could be lost if nothing is done on the tax incentive or other regulatory delays at the Environmental Protection Agency. Iowa is one of the biggest biodiesel producing states in the country, with 15 facilities.
All together, 44 states have some biodiesel production. "These are green jobs that are good for both the environment and the economy," Grassley noted. "Without the tax incentive, biodiesel blends will be priced out of the marketplace and oil companies will stop purchasing biodiesel."
The Iowa senator authored the biodiesel tax credit as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee four years ago when Republicans controlled both houses of Congress. He and Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., authored a bill that would have extended the $1 per gallon credit for one year, but they were unable to attach it to legislation that could be passed before Dec. 31.

Everyone was talking about the recession at the recent International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association convention and trade show. It seemed that club owners were re-evaluating their business strategies and focusing their energy on making the best of a bad situation. The consensus was that they were trying to remain positive, look for ways to trim the fat and make changes that would benefit them in the long run.
What can you do right now to solidify the future you and your business deserve? Read on and you'll find a few ideas that may inspire more ideas of your own and help your business become stronger than ever.
Tip 1 - Stay informed and in control of your business. Even with the best club manager or operator working for you, it's essential to know what's going on with your money. Over the years, I have talked to so many club owners who weren't aware of their current financial situation. With the technological advancements in our industry over the past few decades, it's now easy for you to review your club's financial and membership information online, in real time, or get the critical data sent directly to you via e-mail on a daily basis. Staying informed gives you the power to assess your business and hone in on your strengths and areas for improvement. In this recession, you need to capitalize on those strengths and strive to improve areas where you need it most. Many billing and software companies provide reports to get you on the right track. Be sure to do your research and select the one that is right for your business.
Tip 2 - Member retention, member retention, member retention. It costs more money to attract a new member than to retain an existing one. Analyze the data you have about your club's attrition and put that information to good use. Where are your challenges? Are people not renewing? How many cancellations did your front-desk person approve last month? Are you signing up members only to have them default on their membership dues halfway through their contract? Pinpoint the areas where your business is bleeding, meet with your team and get everyone focused on retaining the members you have.
Tip 3 - Be sympathetic, but don't be a pushover. What is the No. 1 reason for cancellations in your club? These days, a lot more memberships are cancelled for financial hardship than in the past. It's difficult to be the bad guy when a member tells you about getting laid off or about their ever-increasing medical bills but you have a business to run, and businesses don't run without money coming in. So, how do you enforce your member contracts without burning bridges and being the bad guy? How about putting in place a policy of freezing memberships for members suffering financial hardship? By freezing their accounts, you are delaying their payments to help them in the short run, but your business will still benefit in the long run by the payments that they will eventually make, plus you earn their loyalty by helping them out. Get creative, think of a policy that your members would appreciate, and start promoting it now.
Tip 4 - Increase and protect your cash flow. This one may seem like a no-brainer, but you'd be surprised by how much money is lost when billing is handled incorrectly. Drafting member accounts is just one step that needs to be taken to get the money you're counting on. If your business depends on your membership dues, it is essential to have a professional handling them for you. Times are tough, and you're probably looking to save money wherever you can, but I caution you about handling your billing in-house. Your cash flow is your life line, so treat it as such—and please don't let your 17-year-old front-desk girl make any more collection calls for you.
Tip 5 - Create or improve your existing additional profit centers. Now is not the time to just sit and wait for new members to walk in the front door. With layoffs affecting every job sector, discretionary income is all but disappearing in most households, so naturally, new sales are not going to be what they once were. The good news is that member payments aren't the only revenue generator out there anymore, so by maximizing your additional profit centers, you could make up that lost income. Invest in your business now by creating additional services that set you apart from your competition, help you make more money from the members you currently have and keep them at your club instead of somewhere else.

Investigators tell WEAU 13 News more about how they were able to break the Alisha Sidie murder case on Saturday.
Investigators say two things happened at once- a key witness changed his story and said he knew Alisha had been killed. Then the Jackson County dive team found the handgun prosecutors say Doug Sidie used to kill his ex-wife Alisha Sidie.
Sergeant Pat LaBarbera, with the Jackson County Sheriff's Department, says a man who was in the Sidie house when the murder happened changed his original story. On Saturday, Nov. 15, he admitted although he did not witness Alisha's murder more than a week earlier, he did know that she had been killed.
Around the same time, LaBarbera says the volunteer Jackson County Dive Team found a handgun where an orange marker now floats in Morrison Creek. Prosecutors say Doug Sidie used that gun to kill Alisha.
For diver Gary George, the work was a personal mission.
"It meant a lot to me because Alisha was a friend of mine so it felt good to do what we did for her," Gary George says.
22 volunteers on the dive team spent all week looking for evidence.
"We were diving with water that was zero visibility. Water temperatures were running 40 to 42 degrees, so it was very cold for the divers," says Keith Cormican, who directs the Jackson County Dive Team.
Sgt. Pat LaBarbera says the dive team was crucial to solving the murder. All the dive team volunteers say they're thankful they could help the sheriff's department and help Alisha's family find some closure.
"As volunteers we come in here and do this so that these efforts can move along quickly," says diver and team trainer Ed Davis.
LaBarbera says on Saturday, investigators confronted Doug Sidie with the new facts and evidence, and that's when he confessed to shooting and killing Alisha Sidie in front of their home after an argument.
Wednesday, Doug Sidie was charged with first degree intentional homicide, hiding a corpse, eight counts of obstructing an officer, and one count of misdemeanor bail jumping in his ex-wife's death.
The judge also judge ordered Doug Sidie be held without bond and delayed further proceedings until he gets a lawyer.
The judge will also recuse himself from Doug Sidie's next court appearance.
The judicial assistant says Judge Thomas Lister is removing himself from the case because he represented Doug Sidie in a 2002 personal injury civil lawsuit. That case was dismissed in 2003. An out-of-county judge will be brought in to hear the case.

Tom Watson continues his look at the illustrations of Daniel Schwartz.
Schwartz displays an even looser and more Expressionistic style, as we look at different assignments from different publications.
Schwartz did this dynamic illustration for Fortune Magazine in 1963, and it shows how he changed from a more traditional painterly style just 2 years earlier, to energetic sweeping brush strokes of diluted oil paint washes.
Schwartz has taken a very complicated scene of heavy construction equipment and masterfully suggested detail through value and simplified shapes. Once again he sets the mood with golden monochromatic hues and a hint of blue accent in the sky. The use of opaque light values are almost non existent here... the entire illustration technique is virtually transparent. I can only imagine that the art director of Fortune Magazine gave Schwartz nearly total freedom with this assignment... which I have to believe any illustrator would relish. In my opinion, this is an excellent example of where an expressive illustration is a far better choice than a photograph.
This illustration was done in 1969... for a story in Good Housekeeping Magazine, as I remember. This was 6 years after the Fortune illustration, and Schwartz was experimenting with transparent watercolor. As a fine artist, he worked in all mediums with the same degree of competence. Looking at the irregular runs and dripping effect of the lower background area, my guess is that he used a gessoed covered surface, which was very popular for many illustrators at that time. Gesso is a hard tough surface that is used to size canvas and is compatible with most all mediums. Again, Schwartz uses his strong fine arts influence in creating a very poetic thought provoking mood to this illustration.
Notice how Schwartz defines the face with simple yet accurately placed subtle detail. The blue reflection from the background into the side of her face, is a beautiful touch that connects the warm head tones with the cool background tones.
It seemed to me that the illustrator's roll, from the 1960's on, was to find effective methods of competing with the camera. Photographs could create a sense of mood through dramatic and innovative lighting, gesture and expression of the model, but the illustrator had to go beyond those boundaries. Schwartz found the solution in his expressive surface effects and painterly application. By the end of the 60's many art directors seemed to be wide open for new and different approaches... in many assignments, they expected it. I think that Schwartz, like Al Parker, Austin Briggs, Bernie Fuchs, Bob Peak, Mark English, Robert Weaver and other pioneers continued to strive for a fresh new look to their work, which would go beyond the limits of photography. Unfortunately the magazine industry was struggling to survive, which ironically may have helped encourage a rapid dramatic change in illustration after the 50's.
Tomorrow: we will see Daniel Schwartz, the fine art painter, capturing a sudden changing youth movement in America's cities.

Daniel Schwartz: "Freedom... any illustrator would relish"
1 comment:
- Bob Bollini12:02 PM
Tom, your comments really enrich this presentation.Magazines seem not only to have survived, but flourished;is there not now an (upscale?)publication that uses illustrators of Schwartz' quality on a regular basis? The novelty and impact of illustration would seem to justify the cost. I can't understand why an art director doesn't make his reputation by suddenly committing to illustrations rather than photography.ReplyDelete

Japanese stock futures and Australian shares climbed as concern regarding Europe's debt crisis eased and better-than-estimated U.S. factory orders added to optimism the world's largest economy is growing.
American Depositary Receipts of Canon Inc., the camera maker that gets about 80 percent of sales outside Japan, rose 1 percent. Komatsu Ltd., a Japanese maker of construction equipment that gets a quarter of its revenue in the Americas, gained 1.3 percent. Alacer Gold Corp. dropped 5.9 percent in Sydney as the price of the precious metal retreated.
Futures on Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average expiring in June closed at 12,170 in Chicago yesterday, up from 12,030 at the close in Osaka, Japan. They were bid in the pre-market at 12,160 in Osaka at 8:05 a.m. local time. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index rose 0.4 percent and New Zealand's NZX 50 Index advanced 0.2 percent.
"The U.S. economy does look better and the problems in Europe look a little less scary," said Shane Oliver, Sydney- based head of investment strategy at AMP Capital Investors Ltd., which has $126 billion under management. "It's probably more of a buying opportunity for equities and I'd caution about getting too bearish. Fears regarding Cyprus are fading."
Orders placed with U.S. factories rose the most in five months in February, boosted by a pickup in demand for motor vehicles and commercial aircraft, a Commerce Department report showed yesterday.
Cyprus Bailout
The Cypriot government completed talks on the terms for aid with the so-called troika of officials representing the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and the European Union. The accord, granting two extra years to implement measures linked to the island's bailout, will be discussed at a euro working group meeting of finance officials on April 4.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index, the benchmark regional equities gauge, yesterday traded at 13.3 times average estimated earnings compared with 14.2 for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and 12.7 times for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
A two-day Bank of Japan policy meeting begins today, the first under the leadership of Haruhiko Kuroda as governor. Kuroda, who said yesterday that bold action is necessary to meet expectations, has indicated that expanded purchases of government bonds will be the main tool for monetary easing.
Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained 0.1 percent. The measure climbed 0.5 percent yesterday after the Commerce Department report showed a 3 percent gain in factory orders and Italian and Spanish bond yields declined.
The Bloomberg China-US Equity Index of the most-traded Chinese shares in the U.S. climbed 0.7 percent in New York yesterday.
Gold tumbled 1.6 percent yesterday, the most in at least a month, as a stronger dollar trimmed demand for the precious metal as an alternative investment.

Kids Market Goes On!
Our Kid-grown, kid-sold market was held despite the unusual chilly weather for Saturday, April 14, 2018. We would like to thank the students, teachers and parents for participating in a celebration of local food and environmental stewardship!
Culinary Arts Students with Stephanie Roberts, Garden Educator (second r), from Hogg MS. Their freshly made sweet and spicy dill pickles made under the direction of Janay Goodeman, Culinary Arts Teacher, (not pictured) were still warm. Principal Sugurak donated her family backyard chicken eggs for the students to take to market along with their Cultivated Classroom Garden Produce.
"The kids are our future stewards and this is imortant for healthy communities." shared a market customer in why she came out to support the Kids Market!
This farmers market was run entirely by kids and students sold lettuce mix, carrots, mustard greens, herbs, kale, and lots of big bountiful chard. St. Catherine's Montessori environemental teachers, brought their kid market team to sell their hand-made soap and body care products along with their organic produce. Westside HS students created seasonal recipes and prepared creamy chard soup to help us warm up on the chilly day along with the superman of all vegetables, sweet potatoes lightly sweetened and stewed in cinnimon and star anise. All proceeds are sown back into the school gardens and culinary programs to promote experiential learning opportunities for students. Mark your calendars for this time next year, when we will be back for Kids Market 2019!
Lantrip Elementary brought an outstanding team of teachers, students and parents to showcase their veggie transplants. Lantrip ES is an environmental science magnet school in HISD with a state of the art greenhouse, school gardens and orchard.

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was introduced to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's third oldest nameplate currently in production. Original sales projections projected less than 100,000 systems for the very first year. This mark was surpassed in three months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold throughout the model year (a record), and in its very first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, but several modifications were made at the traditional opening of the new design year (beginning August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the intro of alternators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. In the case of a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some uncommon peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made enough distinction to necessitate classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has actually withstood with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Corvallis MT are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more rigid pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the very first time in automobile history that the Huge 3 were having to compete with imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller sized than the very first version but, due to the additional equipment required to meet brand-new United States emission and safety regulations, was heavier than the first design. Performance was decreased and in the first year only 385,993 cars were sold.
2nd generation Mustangs for sale in Corvallis MT were available in between 1974 and 1978 and readily available in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was upgraded a 3rd time. This time it was based on the bigger Fox platform and the interior was actually huge enough for 4 people. The trunk was bigger and so was the engine bay. The body designs offered consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang acted as an Indianapolis 500 pace vehicle and Ford built 10,478 celebratory reproductions. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

The National Endowment for the Humanities offers grants of up to $38,000 to support the development of a new course that will foster intellectual community through the study of an enduring question.
Deadline: September 11, 2014
For more information about Enduring Questions, please visit http://www.neh.gov/grants/education/enduring-questions.
Program Details
What is good government? What is friendship? Are there universals in human nature? What are the origins of the universe?
Enduring Questions grants support the development by up to four faculty members of a new course on a fundamental concern of human life that is addressed by the humanities. This question-driven course encourages undergraduates and teachers to join together in a deep and sustained program of reading in order to encounter influential ideas, works, and thinkers over the centuries and into the present day.
Enduring questions persist across historical eras, societies, and regions of the world; they inform intellectual, ethical, artistic, and religious traditions; they engage thoughtful people from all walks of life; they transcend time and place and yet are immediate and present in our lives. Enduring questions have more than one plausible or compelling answer, allow for dialogue across generations, and inspire genuine intellectual pluralism.
An Enduring Questions course may be taught by faculty from any department or discipline in the humanities or by faculty outside the humanities (for example, astronomy, biology, economics, law, mathematics, medicine, or psychology), as long as humanities sources are central to the course.

Pollution Prevention: Methodology, Technologies and Practices
Pollution Prevention: Methodology, Technologies and Practices
ISBN: 978-0-816-90782-3 November 1998 214 Pages
In Stock
DescriptionAs many industries are beginning to learn, pollution prevention technologies offer more than just a way to comply with regulations, or even to "do the right thing." It also makes smart business sense. The authors of this book, both veterans of DuPont's in-house waste reduction team, have put together a "how-to" guide for locating and implementing the best pollution prevention strategies for particular manufacturing processes. The book codifies elements of fundamental pollution prevention knowledge that are "easily understood and broadly applicable," across a wide range of industries. At the heart of the book is what the authors call the "10-Step Method for Engineering Evaluations of Pollution Prevention Methods," which breaks down the process to such simple steps as defining problems, setting goals, and identifying, defining, and evaluating alternative strategies.
