When Time magazine discovered black slang
Words and phrases are moving continuously from ghetto vernacular to Standard American English. Ten years ago, a few rappers started saying "bling bling." Then athletes like Shaq were saying it. Then daytime talk-show hosts like Ricki Lake were saying it. Eventually, you saw the word "bling" in the political pages of the New York Times.
That tickles me.
When I was coming up, only black folks would say "from the get-go." Now, only white folks say it.
"Mickey D's" is another one. That went from black slang to corporate asset in one generation. McDonald's calls itself Mickey D's nowadays. I even saw it on a McDonald's receipt one time.
But as years pass, white people tend to forget where these words came from. Us too. I didn't know, until I bought the Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang, that "the Big Apple" was originally black slang for New York.
I recently stumbled upon a Time magazine article from 1963. It was all about the exotic mystery of black American speech.
Funny thing is, some of the terms that seemed exotic and mysterious to a white editor 45 years ago... they are now so much a part of white vernacular, it's like blacks never invented them.
Here's the first sentence from the Time article:
"A white man who attended a Negro civil rights rally as a spectator might well be puzzled to hear a speaker say 'Now let's get down to the nitty-gritty.' "
Isn't that wild? Can you imagine a time when white people thought "nitty-gritty" was puzzling?
"When U.S. Negroes talk to one another, their speech is often marbled with expressions incomprehensible to whites," according to Time magazine. "Since slavery days, Negroes have created an ever-changing argot of their own, full of ambiguities, tinged with humor and sorrow."
More examples from the pages of Time in 1963:
Put down = insulted.
Busted = arrested.
Fox = pretty girl.
Fuzz = the police.
Phat = general adjective of approval.
The Man = whites in general.
Soul brother = a fellow Negro.
The magazine then points out a timeless truth: "Terms that are widely adopted by whites go out of style among Negroes.... 'When it's hip among whites,' says one white investigator of the Negro argot, 'it's already square among Negroes.' "
( ^ Not from Time magazine.)

One that originated among black people was "dissed". Now most of the time I hear it is from white people.
I also think the term "bad" meaning the opposite of what it originally meant started with black people.
Unfortunately, "hoes" and "pimps" started among black people also. Now we have white college students with "Pimp 'n Ho" parties. And of course, white radio and/or TV personalities getting fired or suspended for using these terms.

In the early 90's I was working in San Francisco. One of my co-workers was an African-American woman from Oakland. She introduced me to the phrases "Talk to the hand" and "don't go there." In the following years, I've enjoyed watching it spread across geography, race, and class.

Cal: "Dissed" is probably the first hip-hop term I noticed crossing over to Standard American English. Now you'll hear "dissed" on the "McLaughlin Group"!

Was the word "bro" ever "ghetto vernacular?" I just looked it up at urbandictionary.com and it seems like it's pretty white now. "Don't taze me bro'!" comes to mind..

They had "phat" back in '63? Damn, color me surprised. Reminds me of when I was a kid watching a 30's gangster flick and one of the gangsters said something about getting his "gatt." I guess there is nothing new under the sun.

Around that same time, James Baldwin wrote an essay about seeing the marquee for his play 'Blues for Mister Charlie' on a Broadway theater, and watching a black man stop dead in the street, apparently thunderstruck that this "underground" term was being paraded in public where white people could see it.
As far as phrases that should jump: I keep waiting for 'wolf tickets' to show up on Hardball or one of the other pundit-argument shows.
- February 21, 2008 at 9:14 PM
I had a good chuckle when I bought my daughter a "Pimp My Bike" Happy Meal at Mickey D's. I didn't even want to try to explain to my 5 y.o. what pimp used to mean.
Hillary truly overreacted to a journalist who said that she'd "pimped out Chelsea." Once McDonald's started using "pimp" in an advertising campaign aimed at kids, it lost its original meaning. I'm lovin' it!

Speaking of McDonalds, anybody remember their short-lived and ill-advised "I'd Hit It" ad campaign? If I hadn't already stopped eating red meat that ad would have compelled me.
Also, one time I used the phrase "wolf tickets" on a forum and someone asked me what it meant. That's a relatively old term but apparently not as common as I'd assumed.

I'm always amazed that more hasn't been written about this phenomenon in the mainstream press. There's still this deep, deep denial in white America about the non-white roots of so much of their culture. You look at the average 35-year-old Republican suburbanite in the States these days, and he's wearing clothes and a haircut that were unambiguous emblems of homosexuality fifteen years ago; every third expression out of his mouth was used exclusively by black folks 30 years ago; and the music he listens to is either performed by black people, or it's a cover of old blues and R&B by some white people. And this guy is the face of white racism and homophobia today.
White Americans and black Americans, in the words of James Baldwin, resemble nobody else in the world so much as each other. There are so many cliches flying around about this strange love/hate relationship between these two groups that they've all started to sound corny, but the deeper you dig into the history, the more profound these platitudes reveal themselves to be. Shakespeare's overarching theme from Romeo and Juliet -- "Here's much to do with hate, but more with love" -- suggests that this is a condition that has been with us for a long time among segregated, hostile groups living in close proximity for long periods of time.
That white Americans would adopt the signifiers of black culture, therefore, is not surprising. They love black culture. They envy blacks, they idolize them, they fetishize them.
That they would live in such profound denial about their adoption of these signifiers -- look at the whites who even today don't recognize Elvis and the Rolling Stones as essentially blackface performers -- is also not surprising. They hate black culture. They see it as threatening, corrupting, infectious, contaminating. Their fear and hatred of black culture has led to the enslavement, murder, and repression of blacks that the country is famous for.
And indeed, the whites who are most in danger of "contamination" by black culture -- the poor whites whose socioeconomic status doesn't distinguish them from poor black folks, who live in mixed communities, whose children talk and dress the most like black kids -- tend to be the ones with the strongest reactions, and the ones who are the most hysterical about preserving their white purity. But this hysteria erupts from time to time in the middle classs, every time some black musical or sartorial or other cultural movement catches on with the kids in the suburbs. White people are pretty comfortable with black signifiers if they've been laundered by a few decades of white usage, but they get real flinchy when they can see the blackness through the surface of a piece of slang or a new fashion.
(BTW, a big thanks again to Dave for the book "Black Like You", the history of blackface he sent me which was the best thing I read on race in a long time. I still need to write that review.)

Hi UBM,
There are also regional words that take even longer to make the mainstream.
"Hella" is one of those words. It's been around for a few years here in the Bay area. It has another word that can be used in its place; "Hecka".
To use them you can say; the guy is hella stupid or he is hecka stupid.
"Bootsie" is another word I've heard here for a while. It means second rate or junk.
That guy's car is "bootsie".
Has anyone heard these words in other parts of the country?

^ MDC: I love this topic!
The only time I think I've heard "hella" in a conversation was when I overheard a young sister in an airport a few years ago. She used it repeatedly. It sounded cool.
I guess Prince knows about it, because he had that lyric "Body's hecka slammin'" 20 years ago.
That "bootsie" is totally new to me.

The only time I think I've heard "hella" in a conversation was when I overheard a young sister in an airport a few years ago.
I remember hearing "hella" over 30 years ago, no kidding. A childhood friend used it to describe a guy: "He was hella fine!" It never caught on with me. I really don't like it.
Around the same time I also remember hearing another childhood friend use the word "copasetic."
In re: UBM's Prince reference.... This same friend was the first person I knew who had "For You." We listened to it, but I wasn't feeling Prince that much then. I just thought with that hugh afro he was hecka fine!

my girl from cali in college used to say hella all the time. i know cash money wish they had put a copyright on bling bling. people don't even remember the song. i would say cool has transcended the boundaries and become overused. and if one non-sista had said "you go, girl" to me i was going to throw up. for real. that one got played fast.
- February 22, 2008 at 6:29 PM
"Hella" has been around quite a while. It's even cropped up on "South Park" (Cartman used it to distraction).
- February 22, 2008 at 8:36 PM
- Kevin Allman said...
"Hella" is all over, but I agree that it's most popular on the West Coast.
The one I (over)use is "mos def" -- not referring to Mos Def, but used to express surety: "I'll mos def be there."
What about "beaucoup" (or "bookoo") to mean "many"? Is that just a Louisiana term? After the storm I know people who used it in other parts of the country and people looked at 'em like they had two heads.
- February 23, 2008 at 3:40 PM

^I remember "bookoo" but I didn't hear it a lot, and haven't heard it in at least 20 years! And I'm from NY.
"Son" is very popular here. "Whaddup, son?" "Knowwhutumsayin' son?" "Yo, son!" etc. It's like, every other word in a conversation is "son." I've even heard girls call each other son.
And let's not forget, "Yo!"

^ Being from the Bay Area, perhaps you could explain this one to me: hyphy.
I've never heard it uttered in real life, but I come across it every now and then on the internet.
I think the D.C. equivalent -- which I've never heard outside of D.C. -- is syced. Basically, excited.
- February 23, 2008 at 9:36 PM
- Mes Deux Cents said...
As far as I know "Hyphy" means to party without any drama (fighting).
I think hyphy is also a type a rap music originating in the Bay area.
- February 24, 2008 at 12:17 AM
- Bay Radical said...
HYPHY 101 (from the perspective of a white nerd who lives in East Oakland):
Yes, people do in fact say Hyphy here in The Town.
Getting hyphy is acting hyped up and kinda crazy and the hyphy "movement" is the music, the dance style and the 'scene'. Hyphy music was "underground" in the sense that it didn't come out of commercial hip hop.
Supposedly Hyphy is short for "hyper" - who knows though. I'm starting to hear middle class white kids say that so-and-so is getting "hyphy" so I suppose we can anticipate its rapid demise as a word used among Black and other "urban" youth right? Although Oakland's always had some crossover slang in my experience - like "hella".
- February 24, 2008 at 9:21 AM
- Matt Norwood said...
I remember a kid I knew from northern California using Hella all the time, back around '99, but I'm pretty sure I'd heard it before then.
I remember, growing up in DC in the 80s, a whole constellation of words treating one's degree of excitement. "Syced" or "psyched", as Dave pointed out, meant "excited" (although "psych!" was also an expression one used to indicate that one was lying or joking; "I psyched you out", presumably). If one was a little too psyched, one was "pressed": desperate, clingy. One way being pressed manifested was in "riding" someone else's style. As a junior-high student in DC, one lived in fear of being accused of being pressed, or of riding somebody.
There are other little DC-isms that I haven't heard too much from other spots. "Junk", pronounced closer to "joumps", indicated one's stuff or one's business.
It's much easier, actually, to remember the parts of the dialect that didn't become widespread; the ones that get absorbed by the rest of the culture are very difficult to remember as ever having been anything but normal. This is, it occurs to me now, a valuable function of pop culture nostaligia: when some jive turkey from a mainstream Hollywood film from the 70s uses a word like "yo", it highlights the fact that the word hadn't yet hit the mainstream at that time.
- February 25, 2008 at 7:40 AM
- Undercover Black Man said...
^ "I ain't pressed." The all-purpose declaration of cool.
The "junk" to which you refer is spelled by the Urban Dictionary as "jawn." And I presume it's a corruption of "joint."
And "syced" is different from "psyched." "Syced" rhymes with sliced and diced. In fact, I have no idea how it's supposed to be spelled or where it derives from... but on the internets folks seem to go with "syced."

Does anyone remember the sketch on Mad TV where there was a cadre of Black ad execs whose job it was to come up with new slang terms to insert into everyday use? The words they came up with were totally nonsensical, utterly ridiculous, but when said with attitude and confidence, seemed to make perfect sense. It was hilarious. Guess you had to be there....

'Scuze me. But it's "git-go."
Whenever I see it written in SAE (Standard American English), it just doesn't work for me.
"Brother" was never shortened to "bro"; it was "bruh" -- as in "brutha/bruva-man" ("brutha-man.") Again, that's white folks f*ckin' things up by shortening the SAE "brother" (instead of the way it's prononced in AAVE, African American Vernacular English) to "bro."
Like white folks talking about "wolf tickets." And now we're (Black folks) using the term. Sh*t. It's woof tickets. Like a barking dog puttin' up a ruckus/displaying aggression, dammit! Woof! Woof!
I mean jus' day-um.
I wish White folks would just leave our sh*t the hell alone! lol
- February 26, 2008 at 9:36 PM
"Psyched" (bein' psyched and psyching someone out) is the same term. It has multiple uses, all derivative of psyche and the association with psychology. The illiterates on the web just have no idea of the origins of the term/s and don't know how to freakin' spell.

Search and rescue officials spent Monday hunting for a missing kayaker whose screams for help were heard from people on the shores of Upper Kananaskis Lake around 6 p.m. Sunday.
Despite the efforts of witnesses — including a bystander who stripped down, jumped into the chilly water, swam to the area where the person was last seen and eventually had to be rescued himself — the missing kayaker was not located on Sunday evening.
But a kayak and life-jacket were located by rescuers on Sunday.
On Monday morning, a search for the missing kayaker resumed, with local dive teams assisting various search and rescue personnel.
By late afternoon Monday, the kayaker had not been located.
RCMP "K" Division spokesperson Sgt. Josee Valiquette said she couldn't speculate on a potential outcome of the search.
"Many factors have to be taken into consideration," said Valiquette, noting it's even possible the missing person could have been rescued before officials arrived and is already in a safe and warm place.
"Nothing indicates one way or the other," she said.
The Kananaskis Country Lake was closed to boat traffic on Monday and roads in the area were also closed to limit access as officials searched for the missing adult.
RCMP officers were first dispatched to the area around 7:15 p.m. Sunday for reports of a missing person.
They were advised that shortly after 6 p.m., people on the shores of the lake heard screams for help from what appeared to be an adult in the lake, who was approximately 200 metres from shore. The gender of the missing person is unknown, said Valiquette.
On Sunday evening, EMS Supervisor Jamie Campbell told the Herald a fisherman at the lake saw a kayaker standing on their boat before falling into the water.
The fisherman saw another man strip down and jump into the water to try to help the kayaker, but he was unable to reach the person in time.
The bystander had to be rescued from an island in the lake by a helicopter that was called in to assist with the search. The bystander was unhurt but disappeared from the scene before police and EMS crews arrived.
"Everybody wants to talk to him to find out what happened," Campbell said.
On Monday, Valiquette said it's unclear how long officials will continue to search the lake.
Anyone with information about this incident or the unidentified missing person is requested to call the Kananaskis RCMP detachment at 403-591-7708.
Upper Kananaskis Lake is located approximately 140 kilometres west of Calgary.

It's easy to get angry at grumpy traffic cops, but what about these colorful Venezuelan "police"?
A municipality in the country's capital, Caracas, employed 120 mimes to enforce traffic in a city where too many drivers have little regard for the rules, reports The Associated Press.
With white make-up and neon costumes, the mimes wag their finger, make faces, and make other motions at motorcyclists who zip down the street too quickly or drivers who treat street signs as suggestions rather than orders. And do it all, of course, while silent.
U.S. & World
"Most people are collaborating, but bad habits are usually hard to break and some drivers just don't change their ways," said Neidy Suarez, and 18-year-old mime wearing bright yellow overalls and a bright red ribbon around her pigtails.
"Some people get angry when we reprimand them ... but most people react agreeably and some have offered compliments," she told The Associated Press.
Mayor Carlos Ocariz of Sucre, a city in the eastern part of Caracas, was inspired to do the program by Antanas Mockus, a former mayor of Bogota, Colombia. Mockus combined mimes and stricter police enforcement in a program that was widely seen as a success.
Ocariz promised to keep up the effort "until the streets of Sucre are full of creativity and education."

Like the Mona Lisa or Michelangelo's David, the portrait of Stephen Colbert is a lasting testimony to the power of human spirit and beauty.
Today is the last day to take a gander at Stephen Colbert's very serious and important portrait, which is currently on view at the National Museum of American History in D.C. -- and, as a museum staffer likes to point out, it's hanging next to Dumbo the Flying Elephant.
The star of the hard-hitting Comedy Central "Colbert Report" spent time during the 2007-2008 writers' strike traipsing around D.C. with the portrait strapped to his back.
He was finally rewarded for his gargantuan efforts. The portrait received a six-week stint on display -- right near the bathrooms at the National Portrait Gallery. That is because Stephen Colbert is a man who knows how to bring the class.
The portrait has been hanging in the American History museum since its reopening last November. After tomorrow, the painting is going back into the Smithsonian's "collection" -- we think that actually means "storage" -- but we're hoping it'll make it to the Louvre soon. Anything less would be a national tragedy.
The museum is open until 5:30 p.m. today.

The desert, or wilderness, round Mount Sinai in the south of Palestine where the Israelites wandered for 'forty years' after leaving Egypt (Deut. 8: 2) was forever in their consciousness, as it was also for the writers of the NT. Jesus' temptations for forty days in the wilderness (Matt. 4: 2 ff.) and his Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5–7) imply a belief in Jesus as the faithful Israelite who fulfils God's purposes. His experiences parallel those of the people in the wilderness and Moses' issue of the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai.
Wild animals lived in the Transjordanian desert (Mark 1: 13) and the area was uninhabited but was not a desert in the sense of the rainless Sahara. There can be such rain that 'the desert shall rejoice and blossom' (Isa. 35: 1).

Deck Stain Video
I am down on my dock, with lots of wind in the background. It is April 30, 2010. A year ago, the dock was completely cleaned and stripped. It was in horrible condition, looked gray and was a mess. I am getting ready to apply a top quality, nano-technology wood sealer and preservative. But after the year, the wood had turned gray instead of a keeping it's natural wood coloring. The sealer had turned colors.
After talking to the wood sealer manufacturer, they indicated that another test should be done. But instead of just testing their product, I will be testing several products. The dock will be divided into sections. One section will get a color-tinted product from the same manufacturer. The next section will be the clear product, that I applied a year ago. The third section is another brand name sealer. The last section won't get any sealer. It will serve as the control. Showing what will happen if nothing is done to the wood dock.
The dock extends out into the lake so it gets direct sun most of the day, from as soon as the sun comes up until late afternoon. Plenty of sun for a really good test.
The dock has been prepared according to the directions on the containers. The wood surface is clean, dry and even sanded with 60-grit sandpaper. The wood dock is made of cedar. The instructions call for two-light coats, separated by no more then 20-minutes. In the windy conditions, the second coat can be applied within several minutes.
The label says it is very important that the product does not dry between coats. The application will be done to the label's instructions. Separate brushes will be used so there is not cross-contamination between products.
The first sealer is normally watery and easy to apply. It will soak into the wood as it is applied. The first coat is very light with no puddles.
The second sealer has the look of milk, but it will dry clear. As it is applied, the white coloring starts to turn clear. It is applied as the first one, a thin coat with no excess. If there is excess sealer, it can start to peel at those locations.
The third sealer is the competitor's brand. It is also a clear sealer and it goes on clear.
After a few minutes, according to the instructions, the second coat is applied to the three sections.
Flash forward to the future!! (Video editing is amazing.) Lots of people have been asking the names of the three products being tested. The names won't be released until the test is completed.
Returning to the test planks. After all the sections have dried, the first one has a brown tint. The second milky looking sealer has dried completely clear. The third one, which was also clear, is not the same clear as the second one. And the final section is just bare wood.
Flash back to the present!! It will be interesting to see how these three products weather throughout the summer. Additional videos will be taped during the summer so you can see how the test is going. So check back later for video updates.
Update: In Tim's July 20, 2010 Newsletter, he provides results for this test. Click here to read those results.

Tim, the deck interest me more than the sealer or stain. I've been thinking about building 2 docks - I live on 2 lakes. The magic of being located on a small dam. My major question is did YOU build the dock or is it a commercial product (pre-built). I've priced both the commercially available metal and wood constructs on foam floats - if I were to go that route I'd be paying into the next decade for two docks. I'd rather not do that until I've finished paying for the house. Really hoping you can assist me in finding the ideal solution. First dock would be located in a cove for protection from wind. The other dock would be in front of my boat storage/house located over the water, and definitely on a lake with whitecaps and high winds most of the time. Oh yeah! and does your dock come out in winters or can it stay in all the time despite freeze of the lake and heavy snows. I mention this a my house is in Western Maine a tad colder than Meredith, NH. I don't have an issue removing say the actual decking of the dock figure that would be an ideal solution for winter freeze-ups but, it's the actual structure of the dock that worries me. I do have neighbors who have had their docks in for the last 20-50 years but, other on the same lake remove their floating docks each year. Thanks once again by the way the lakes are Mooselookmeguntic 16,000 acres and Upper Richardson 8100 acres in size. A google search probably would give you an idea of what my conditions are like.
Just trying to see results of stain test of the 9 photos i downloaded. Searching for 30 minutes now and alls i get are photos. No manufactures or stain colors supplied. Doesnt really help if you dont list who makes the stain. Yes i dowmloaded it. Only shows pics. Frustrsting. Also no vidio on recommended epoxie stain. But you answered a question to someone asking the name of it with this answer....does that mean it didnt work after all? Video from 2007. You replied clear stsins dont stop greying.

Truth Ring
Jewelry Design Focus: Truth Ring
A Good Jewelry design example, the Truth is a creative Ring design. Truth was designed in 2010, and here is a how it is described by its designer: Truth is a meta diamond ring; a silhouette of brilliant-cut gemstone can be seen, but instead of a gemstone, the design features only the idea of the diamond. However, the design is equally precious to that of a diamond ring; inner part is golden and the outside is a special platinum alloy.

When Mike Foley was laid off from his job in the 2001 recession, he learned an important lesson: Don't settle for the status quo.
It's a good thing he learned that lesson early, because he applies it every day in his work at VMware in Technical Marketing. Security is his specialty, which means that "settling" is the opposite of his job. He's seen it a million times: People settle and let down their guard, and suddenly the wolves that were at the gate are inside the house.
We sat down with Mike to learn more about him and why vSphere 6.5 is such a big step toward his vision of the data center of the future.
I live in Central Massachusetts in a house out in the country. My wife and I have a 15-year-old son, a 12-year-old son and a 5-year-old German Shepherd. I built a shed out in my backyard, and that's my home office. I call it Shedquarters. If you looked through the window, you would see probably four Macintosh computers and a whole bunch of PCs. Typical tech geek.
When I was working at RSA Security, I was managing all the technical needs of our trade show environment. I found that it was easier to do that using VMware. Before long, I was diving into all the VMware technology. And then one day, my wife and I were walking through Boston Common and we ran into Art Coviello, who was the CEO of RSA. When he found out I was one of his only VMware people at RSA, he said, "I want you in my office next week." That was my career-changing moment.
Suddenly I was the VMware guy, and I was moved into the evangelists group in RSA. Before I knew it, I was doing four or five presentations a week, and I was brought into VMware five years ago.
vSphere 6.5 is providing new options to do things with the least amount of impact to the day-to-day operations. So, if the security team says, "We need to encrypt everything," you don't have to rip and replace. As part of the provisioning process, you can encrypt a virtual machine just by asking a couple of questions. "Will sensitive data be on this virtual machine?" Yes? Check the box, and that's it. It's encrypted.
You don't have to log into the VM, turn on BitLocker, do this, do that—and you don't have to do it for 4,000 VMs individually. You can do it with one line of PowerCLI code. You've added security to day-to-day operations without any negative impact. That's huge.
Mike Outside "Shedquarters" in Central Massachussetts
Every customer's security posture is unique. Some have amazing security teams that really get it. They work hand in hand with IT and take the time to understand the risks. Then there are the ones that don't. Still others have "the one guy" who is IT, security, chief cook and bottle washer. All of them have different requirements. I think what's most surprising is that the security industry has a lot of standards, and everyone implements them differently—or not at all.
Some people in the industry are saying, "Oh, the hypervisor is a commodity." But as someone who is well-known for speaking frankly, I think that's the biggest pile of garbage in the world. All of the innovation happens at the hypervisor level. We can add more functionality there to relieve the customer from operational pain and suffering. A perfect example is VM encryption. Because VM encryption is done at the hypervisor, I don't have to manage the VM as a security snowflake. It doesn't have to be a unique entity. I just apply the policy and I'm done, and you only get that by doing major technical innovations at the hypervisor level. That's what we do.
The bad guys are moving a lot faster than the good guys, and for the data center of the future to deal with that, IT operations must become more agile. The data center of the future in my ideal world doesn't have an issue called downtime. There's no "Oh, we can only patch on the second Thursday of the month." Bang, you'll just install patches while production is running.
We need that because the threats are coming in fast and furious. We want to be able to say to a customer, "Don't worry, you're not going have to waste your whole weekend upgrading individual VMs, because much of the security is done at the hypervisor level." That's my ideal end state. It's going take a while to get there, but I think from a security standpoint, from an operations standpoint, empowering customers to not have to treat a production environment with kid gloves will be huge.
Again, "don't settle for the status quo". It's my motto for work and for life. But I see so many people say, "Well, this is the way we've always done it," as if that means it's somehow good enough for today and tomorrow. It's not. Attackers are looking for new and different ways to attack you—so you have to think of new and different ways to protect against it. Or you'll quickly discover that you're not protected at all.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — About one in six teachers in some of the country's largest public school districts are out of the classroom at least 18 days, or more than 10 percent of the time, for illness, personal reasons and professional development, according to a report out Tuesday that urges districts to make teacher attendance a higher priority.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — About one in six teachers in some of the country's largest public school districts are out of the classroom at least 18 days, or more than 10 percent of the time, for illness, personal reasons and professional development, according to a report out Tuesday that urges districts to make teacher attendance a higher priority.
Even teachers in line with the average of 11 days out may be hurting their students' progress, the National Council on Teacher Quality said.
"Given the time and attention spent on school programs, new curriculum and strategies to strengthen teacher quality," the report's authors wrote, "we may be overlooking one of the most basic, solvable and cost effective reasons why schools may fail to make education progress."
The Washington-based think tank examined data provided by 40 large school districts for the 2012-13 school year and found that, on average, teachers were in the classroom 94 percent of the 186-day school year. About 71 percent of the time taken was because of illness or personal leave, with the rest for school business.
The American Federation of Teachers' president, Randi Weingarten, said "an overall 94 percent attendance rate shows the extraordinary dedication of teachers across the country."
The report cited studies showing students suffer when teachers are out 10 days.
"Yet in the average classroom in this study, teachers exceed this level of absence, often for perfectly legitimate reasons and even in pursuit of becoming a more effective instructor," it said.
About 16 percent of teachers missed 18 or more days and were considered chronically absent, accounting for almost a third of all absences. The same percentage missed 3 days or less.
The National Education Association said the report alone would not change the way school districts approach attendance but that the single-year snapshot fit with larger discussions about why teachers miss school and how to give them time out to collaborate and improve.
Some districts have raised standards for substitute teachers to accommodate for such "productive absences," said Segun Eubanks, director of teacher quality for the National Education Association union, but others still require only a high school diploma.
To train teachers only while students are off is prohibitively expensive at more than $2 million a day for a large district, he said.
The NCTQ report found districts spend an average of $1,800 per teacher to cover absences each year.
New Hampshire social studies teacher Ben Adams said it's rare he's anywhere but his classroom when school is in session because his consistent presence is part of the learning environment he cultivates.
"Attendance for a teacher, it's not curriculum, it's not the star of the show, but it's one of those subtle things that goes a long way to dealing with other parts of teaching — classroom management, trust, risk," the Salem High School teacher said.
Omaha, Nebraska, teacher Maddie Fennell, on the other hand, said her national work around professional development and policy took her out of the classroom 20 to 30 days some years and her students and the others in her building have benefited by posting measurable academic gains.
"When I go out and do this work, I come back and bring the learning with me back to my school," she said, adding that a consistent substitute teacher has helped.
Among the report's other findings, while some districts, including Indianapolis and the District of Columbia, had both higher rates of teachers with excellent attendance — three or fewer days absent — and lower rates of chronically absent teachers, that wasn't the rule.
Buffalo Public Schools, for example, had the second-highest rate of excellent attendance (30 percent) of the 40 districts studied but also the highest rate of chronically absent teachers (37 percent) in 2012-13. The district did not respond to requests for comment.
The report also found no measurable relationship between teacher absence and the poverty levels of a school's students, nor any difference in absentee rates among districts with policies meant to encourage attendance, such as paying teachers for unused sick time, and districts without those incentives.

Help:Dedicated servers
Creating a dedicated server can be useful for LAN games or hosting a server for you and your friends if you have a good connection speed. There are two main methods of creating a dedicated server:
- The quick method: To create a dedicated server, go to "Host Game", and configure everything. Then, click "Dedicated" in the bottom right corner of the screen.
- The detailed method: Follow the guide below to learn how to have more control over the server and retain settings for future games.
I just couldn't depart your site before suggesting that I actually enjoyed the standard information a person provide for your visitors? Is gonna be back often in order to check up on new posts bbdekegcfadddedg
- 1 Installation
- 2 Configuration
- 3 Launch
- 4 Admin control
- 4.1 Creating admins
- 4.2 Accessing the Web Admin Interface
- 4.3 In-game admin login
- 4.4 Force map change
- 4.5 Admins kick/ban function
- 4.6 Other Admin Commands
- 5 Installing custom maps using a redirect
- 6 Installing custom mutators
As of May 2012 the method to install and update the dedicated servers has changed. It now uses Steam's new byte-patching command line client instead of the older file-based HLDSUpdateTool (which is no longer maintained).
To install, you must first go to http://store.steampowered.com and create a new Steam account, which will be used to authorise your installation. You do not require any game ownership within this account, and it is used purely for updating the server files.
Once you have the account, download the SteamCMD client for Windows (download links are here) and extract it to a new, empty folder such as "C:\SteamCMD\".
Then create a new folder for the game files, such as "C:\killingfloor\".
Next, open a text editor (such as Notepad) and enter the following:
steamcmd +login <user> <password> +force_install_dir C:\killingfloor\ +app_update 215350 +exit
The above should all be on a single line.
If SteamGuard is enabled you will be prompted to supply an activation code sent to your email.
Be sure to:
- Replace the <user> and <password> with the information for the steam account you created earlier.
- Replace the "C:\killingfloor\" with the directory for the game you created earlier.
Save the file into the same directory you extracted SteamCMD to before, and be sure to save it with a .bat extension.
Double-click the batch file and SteamCMD should pop up and update itself, and then begin downloading the files from the Steam servers. Once this is complete, the SteamCMD window will disappear, and at that point you should be able to continue configuring your server. For future updates, simply stop your game server, run the .bat file again and it should fetch any required updates for you.
To fully configure the server, see KillingFloor.ini.
The quick options that should be changed are:
- ServerName=
- GamePassword=
- GameDifficulty=
GameDifficulty sets the difficulty level for the game.
- 1.0 = Beginner
- 2.0 = Normal
- 4.0 = Hard
- 5.0 = Suicidal
- 7.0 = Hell on Earth
KFGameLength sets the number of many waves that the players fight through.
- 0 = Short, 4 waves
- 1 = Normal, 7 waves
- 2 = Long, 10 waves
- 3 = Custom; uses sandbox settings for waves, monster counts, etc. (found elsewhere in the KillingFloor.ini)
To enable map voting (highly recommended):
- bMapVote=True
- RepeatLimit=0
- bUseMapList=True
This enables map voting in the server (highly recommended).
- WARNING: Never change Default.ini
Within the server's System folder (C:\KFServer), there is a kf_server_launcher.bat file. Double-clicking this file will launch the server. The default command line contained within is:
- ucc server KF-Bedlam.rom?game=KFmod.KFGameType?VACSecured=true?MaxPlayers=6
This command line tells the server to launch with the KF-Bedlam map using the game type KFmod.KFGameType with the Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) system being active and a maximum of 6 players being permitted to enter the server at any one time.
Multiple instances on one server[edit]
Additional commands can be added to the command line as follows:
In order to run multiple instances of the server on one server with several IP addresses available add the following to the end of the line:
- ?multihome=0.0.0.0
It will then look like:
- ucc server KF-Bedlam.rom?game=KFmod.KFGameType?VACSecured=true?MaxPlayers=6?multihome=0.0.0.0
For adding new mutators to the command line, see Installing custom mutators below.
Note: Those of you hosting a server locally on your home internet connection or are just running a basic setup, it is usually not necessary to include the "?multihome=0.0.0.0" command.
Admin control[edit]
It is recommended to enable both Web Admin and Server Admin, as in some instances they support each other. The Web Admin tool has a powerful web browser interface that allows the configuration of the server from a remote location without needing to manually edit KillingFloor.ini, saving time and hassle. It is recommended that admins become familiar with this tool and use it to its full potential.
Creating admins[edit]
There are many options:
Command line[edit]
You can set a line. This is the quickest method to set up a single admin.
You can set your admin name and password in the command line in kf_server_launcher.bat by appending the following code:
- ?AdminName=XXXXX?AdminPassword=XXXXX
The entire line command will look something like this:
- ucc server KF-BioticsLab.rom?game=KFmod.KFGameType?VACSecured=true?MaxPlayers=6?AdminName=xxxx?AdminPassword=xxxxx
Multiple admins[edit]
You can set up multiple admins from KillingFloor.ini. It is recommended to do this if you are setting up a clan server and wish to assign certain privileges to certain players.
You need to find the following section in KillingFloor.ini and change it so it reads as follows:
This will then create a file called xAdmin.ini in the System directory when you start your server. You can add admins by editing that or by using the Web Admin Interface. IMPORTANT!!! After you made this change your login settings for the Web Admin Interface are changed default to User:Admin and Password:Admin!!! Change it after your login was successfully.
Accessing the Web Admin Interface[edit]
To access your Web Admin Interface go to:
- http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8075
It is also possible to access the Web Admin Interface utilising the web browsing function found within the Steam application. See the following for details: http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=31715
In-game admin login[edit]
Single admin[edit]
When in-game, press the ~ key (or ' key) to open the console and type:
- adminlogin <adminpassword>
This will register you as the server admin. More than one admin can use the same password. At present, admins are required to log in after every map change.
Multiple admins[edit]
When in-game, press the ~ key (or ' key) to open the console and type:
- adminlogin <username> <password>
This will register you as the server admin. Each admin should have their own password. At present, admins are required to log in after every map change.
Binding an admin login key[edit]
Method 1[edit]
When in-game, press the ~ key (or ' key) to open the console and type:
- preferences
This will bring up a box that provides access to many of the more advanced game settings. Through this, you can bind a key to perform a command.
Method 2[edit]
Open the console and add, for example using the M key:
- SET INPUT m adminlogin <adminpassword>
- SET INPUT m adminlogin <username> <password>
This adds the following entry to the killingfloor\System\User.ini file:
- M=adminlogin <password>
Method 3[edit]
Alternatively, the admin commands can be added to the User.ini file directly.
For example:
- N=adminlogin <username> <password>
Binds from that file can conveniently be edited or removed manually.
Force map change[edit]
Once logged in, there are two ways to force a map change:
- Go to Map Vote and make your selection. As Admin you will force the change.
- Open the command console and type:
- admin map <map name>
It is not necessary to type .rom after the map name.
Admins kick/ban function[edit]
If you have enabled the Vote Kick option in your Web Admin Interface or KillingFloor.ini file, then as Admin you can use the in-game Vote Kick function to immediately kick players. Simply right-click on a player's name, and you'll be given an extended Kick/Ban option for Admin. Players logged in as Server Admin will be immune to Vote Kick.
Other Admin Commands[edit]
An admin can make a message appear in the middle of the screen using the following command:
- admin adminsay <message>
An admin can make some sophisticated changes to a server by changing by the property on the package.class to a new value. For example:
Set the difficulty to Beginner:
- admin set engine.gameinfo gamedifficulty 1
Set the difficulty to Normal:
- admin set engine.gameinfo gamedifficulty 2
This command can change multiple settings and will be in the format:
- admin set <package>.<classname> <property> <value>
Note the spaces where applicable.
An admin can pause the game using a console command.
First, the pause function must be enabled on the server. This can be done in the Web Admin Interface or by adding the following line to the KillingFloor.ini file under [Engine.GameInfo]:
- bAdminCanPause=True
After logging in as an admin, type pause in the console to pause the game. To unpause, type the command again or shoot your weapon.
Installing custom maps using a redirect[edit]
Using the Killing Floor SDK, the community can create custom maps for admins to host on their servers. These maps can be automatically downloaded by users joining your server with a few easy steps as follows:
1) Download a custom map and place it in the maps folder.
2) Go to your system folder and create a .bat file with the following code:
- ucc compress ..\maps\<mapname>.rom
This will compress the map into into a much smaller size and display .uz2 at the end of the map name. KF-WestLondonNight.rom was compressed from 10.7 MB to 1.78 MB. This will reduce download time and keep bandwidth to a fraction of what it would have been without compression.
If you want to compress every single map in the map folder then here is a script from saweet. Even though it will compress the default maps as well, this can still be an efficient script if you have multiple custom maps to compress in one instance.
Create a .bat file containing the following command in your system folder. ie: compress_maps.bat
- for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ("C:\killingfloorServer\maps\*.rom") do ucc compress %%a
3) Go to your map folder and you'll see the compressed map as <mapname.rom.uz2>.
4) Remove this compressed map from your map folder and upload it to your third party host. I made a folder in the main web host directory called maps and placed the compressed map in there. http://www.yourhost.com/maps/
5) Go to your KillingFloor.ini and locate [IpDrv.HTTPDownload] In the RedirectToURL= place the location of the compressed map: RedirectToURL=http://www.yourhost.com/maps/
Note the forward slash at the end of the redirect link.
By default you will see UseCompression=True is already set.
6) Now you need to add the map to the map list. You can do this manually or through the Web Admin Interface.
I recommend using the Web Admin Interface for your first attempt as it will write a [KFMod.KFMaplist] entry at the bottom of your KillingFloor.ini with maps listed below as follows:
Maps=KF-<map name>
Maps=KF-<map name>
Maps=KF-<map name>
Go to your Web Admin interface and select Defaults > Maps. Select maps you want added to the map cycle and move them from Maps Not In Cycle > Maps In Cycle using the arrow tabs. Hit the Save button.
7) Restart the map or server, and perform a Map Vote for the new map.
Once you have your [KFMod.KFMaplist] entry listed at the bottom of the KillingFloor.ini you can simply update map entries there for new custom maps or continue to use the Web Admin Interface.
If you do not have a host who can store your maps, you can test the function using a free file hosting site.
You can also configure the redirect from your own server PC by installing your own web hosting application, like Apache.
Installing custom mutators[edit]
A mutator adds additional dynamics to KF beyond those experienced in regular gameplay. In addition to the mutators that come bundled with the game, there are numerous community made mutators that allow users to expand the way their servers operate. Some custom mutators make subtle changes to gameplay that won't impact your ability to increase your achievements or perks. These mutators can be added to a whitelist and will not disable achievements or perks. Custom mutators that allow you to manipulate elements of the game that give you achievements or perks at an accelerated rate will not be whitelisted and their use on a server will disable achievements and perks. Server Admin can decide on the settings they prefer.
For example, the KF Anti-Blocker mutator disables player collisions during 'Trader' time so that players are able to pass through each other. Without this mutator, a player can stand in front of a trader door and block entry for the others. This mutator will allow you to pass through each other.
- Download the KF Anti-Blocker mutator
- Move the files MutKFAntiBlocker.ucl and MutKFAntiBlocker.u to your system folder. In my case this is located at C:\KS1\system.
- Stop your server and either set the mutator to be activated automatically using the command line in your kf_server_launcher.bat by adding:
- ?Mutator=MutKFAntiBlocker.MutKFAntiBlocker
or after restarting the server with the mutator files added go to your Web Admin Interface > Mutators and check 'AntiBlocker' > 'Set Selected Mutators' and then Restart Map.
The Web Admin Interface automatically recognises the mutator after adding the .ucl and .u files to the system folder.
If this applies to all mutators you'll have to wait and see. In case a mutator is not recognised it has been suggested you can add it to the KillingFloor.ini manually under the [Engine.GameEngine] area as follows:
- ServerPackages=MutKFAntiBlocker

Our research is focused on the prediction and design of protein structures, protein folding mechanisms, protein-protein interactions, protein-nucleotide interactions, and protein-ligand interactions. Our approach is to use experiments to understand the fundamental principles underlying these problems, to develop simple computational models based on these insights, and to test the models through structure prediction and design. We strive to continually improve our methodology by iterating between computational and experimental studies.
The successful application of our computational prediction and design method, ROSETTA, is illustrated in a few recent examples:
(i) We used computational protein design methods to create an artificial globular protein with a novel fold. Experimental characterization of Top7 showed that it is extremely stable, and the x-ray crystal structure is strikingly close to the design model. These results suggest that new proteins can be designed with atomic level accuracy, and current work is aimed at using these techniques to design new proteins with novel functions.
|Comparisons of the Top7 design (green) and x-ray structure (yellow). (A) C-alpha overlay. (B) Overlay of core sidechains in the C-terminal portion.
(ii) We have redesigned protein-protein interaction specificity and demonstrated that the specificity changes hold both in vitro and in vivo.
|Backbone schematic of the colicin E7 DNase (teal) / Im7 Immunity protein (grey) complex. Important interfacial residues are shown in spacefill (E7 in red, Im7 in blue, conserved Tyr-Tyr motif in yellow).
(iii) Ab initio protein structure prediction. We produced de novo structure predictions of unprecedented accuracy in the recent CASP4 and CASP5 international blind tests of protein structure prediction methods.

In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
The Chicken Parm Hero from Faicco's ($10) is a beast of a sandwich. It starts with the classic sesame hogie and continues with the matrimony of Italian-American culture that lies within. Three to four filets juicy chicken cutlets are stuffed inside, making for a package that easily weighs in over a pound. There's more than enough to share, but that doesn't mean you have to! The fresh mozzarella is laced with a subtle sweetness that really hits its stride alongside the garlicky marinara. Take Robert Sietsema's advice and ask for extra sauce, either on your sandwich or on the side, and you're in for a soul-satisfying lunch.

Your care team
At Kaiser Permanente, your labor and delivery care team may include:
- Certified nurse-midwives
- Obstetrics-gynecology physicians
- Maternal-fetal medicine specialists
- Neonatologists
- Anesthesiologists
At the hospital
Our obstetrical team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at the hospital — whenever you arrive in labor, we'll be ready.
When you're a Kaiser Permanente member, your prenatal care team, primary care doctor, and labor and delivery team are all connected through your electronic health record. The physician on call when you're in the hospital may not be the same one you saw during your prenatal visits, but they will have the same knowledge, expertise, and experience. Kaiser Permanente delivered more than 105,632 babies in 2016, so you can rest assured that you and your new baby are in very good hands.
In addition to the traditional ob-gyn care model, you'll have the option to get care from a team that includes certified nurse-midwives and ob-gyn physicians working together.
The midwife philosophy takes a holistic approach, recognizing that conception, pregnancy, and birth are part of a natural cycle. Ob-gyn physicians specialize in all aspects of women's health and medical care, and are highly trained in caring for women before, during, and after childbirth. We're proud to be part of a national movement toward this new collaborative care model, where new moms and new babies can benefit from the knowledge and expertise of two types of medical professionals.
Care team members
Depending on your preferences and needs, you may receive care from a physician, a nurse practitioner, or a certified nurse-midwife during your pregnancy. If you or your baby need special care, we will refer you to one of our high-risk specialists.
Choosing your baby's doctor
We encourage you to select a personal pediatrician or family medicine physician for your new baby before he or she arrives. Helping your little one grow up healthy is an important job, so make time to choose a doctor you really like.

Priests for Life Welcomes Arizona Decision on Late-Term Abortion
Date: July 31, 2012
Contact: Leslie Palma
STATEN ISLAND, NY – Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, issued the following statement today regarding the decision of a federal court to uphold a ban on abortion after 20 weeks in Arizona.
"Priests for Life welcomes the decision of Judge James Teilborg regarding the Arizona law protecting children from painful dismemberment," Father Pavone said. "Priests for Life vigorously supports similar laws in other states and the law that will be voted on today in Congress regarding protecting children in the District of Columbia."
In the Arizona case, Judge Teilborg ruled that the law set to go into effect tomorrow is constitutional because it does not prohibit women from having abortions. He also noted in his decision that the state had provided "substantial and well-documented" evidence that a child at 20 weeks' gestation or later has the capacity to feel pain.
"On an educational level, Priests for Life is bringing to the public's attention the 'D and E' dismemberment abortion (see www.StopDandE.com)." Father Pavone said. "The abortion debate should not be so abstract that we forget we're talking about pulling the arms and legs off of babies. To those asking for our vote in November, I ask, do you or do you not think dismemberment should be legal? Every voter should ask the same."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit Priests for Life.

In Latex, in-text formulas are surrounded by a pair of
$ signs. The following plugin plus bindings allow operation on these formulas using the usual syntax for text objects in Vim. This allows for quick yanking, changing and deleting of such formulas which are very common tasks when writing mathematical text in Latex.
For information on operator pending commands and omap see here.
Install CountJump and add the following code to your
ftplugin/tex.vim file.
call CountJump#TextObject#MakeWithCountSearch('<buffer>', '$', 'ai', 'v', '\$', '\$')
Now you can yank, delete, etc entire formulas using
i$ for interior and
a$ to include the bounding dollar signs.
For example, if you put the cursor inside a formula and type
yi$, this will yank the interior of the dollar signs. Typing
da$ will delete the entire formula including the dollar signs.
