Season 5, Episode 3
There are people who deal with teenage girls every single day, I've been realizing. Maybe some of them are you. And you have jobs like this, where you work hard and then ungrateful wretches just sort of smirk out at you from under their hair. I like teenage girls, I'm fascinated by them. But having to deal with this on sort of a consistent basis with their worst elements would try my patience so much…and I'm not casting stones at Tami Taylor, but I wonder if the realm of the teenage girl is going to be more insidious than she expects.
Okay, so RagDoll is up on YouTube and guess who's not outraged about it? Ragdoll herself. She thinks it's totally fine that she's the butt of all the jokes in the school, because she's the most popular girl in the school. And this is where I so appreciate Tami and Eric being all 'standing-up-for-the-rights-of-girls' and "I will not tolerate any of this from my football players whatsoever" – but I kind of don't buy it. They were both popular kids in high school. As we well know, Tami in particular was a bit of a wild card. And so I completely buy – and have always bought – the impetus for them to want to help kids. But not the outrage that goes along with it. Wasn't it just last week that Jess got hauled in for fighting, and when she decried the Rally Girl concept, Tami sort of blithely told her 'that's football'? I really wish there was more consistency here. In the early years, Eric told Tami 'that's football' and she told him "that's not good enough". Which I buy. She had a bigger plan for girls like Tyra back then.
But things change. The same lady who is trying so hard to get through to RagDoll (I'm sure she has a name, but I'm not sure they want us to know it) is sort of blasé, pooh-poohing the concept of Rally Girls, who are effectively sanctioned whores who do the bidding of our football boys? I'm sorry, I just don't see it. Unless, to my extreme delight, they're going to start banning the concept like Coach banned jerseys on game day. But I wouldn't hold my breath just yet.
Likewise, the storyline with Jess' new position as the equipment manager didn't sell a whole lot. There's Jurnee Smollett acting the hell out of getting to hang with the big boys and being starry-eyed about it – I'm just not sure it's perfectly true. She's always seemed a little sassy and level-headed to suddenly be thrilled about doing the dudes' laundry. Also, while I empirically warm to the concept that this season is partly about the lost girls football leaves behind – Jess, Epic, Ragdoll, sort of Becky (and Julie…oh, we'll get to Julie in a minute) – they're all starting to blend together for me. If you're not a football player, with Daddy issues and a will to be better, then you're a forlorn teenage girl, cursed with growing up in Texas and dealing with being a second-class citizen. We rarely see a boy deal with not being top-dog…even Landry landed in a posh position pretty quickly, or was unfazed when he wasn't there.
And this is why the move to bring back Buddy Jr. is warming my little heart. Even though I think they could have done it with slightly fewer phone conversations (though not as few as In Treatment, who pulled the same move recently and I would have appreciated knowing THERE WAS A NEW MAX), this has all the elements of a win. Nobody's shown me Buddy Jr, but I bet he's all emo, and not interested in football, and Buddy Garrity has just never, ever been able to keep his dreams in check where a teenage boy is concerned. He even built himself a bar so he could keep them around him ever more… which seems kind of like a better plan than a car dealership anyway. Once you've sold everyone in town one car, wouldn't your business kind of dry up? And he's just so sweet, because he never lets it go. Even though you know he is staring down the barrel of some serious heartbreak. Go easy on your daddy, Buddy Jr. – and see you next week! Also, as I was thinking back on the seasons and ruminating – we are, of course, overdue for a gay character, and while there are definitely those who believe that Hastings Ruckle will be that guy, I wonder whether that's the particular speedbump that Buddy and his son are staring down the barrel of. Just a little speculation…
Speaking of boys and their dads, this week Vince deals with the fact that D'Shawn Hardell (90210 reference – anyone? No? For the uninitiated, Cress Williams, playing Vince's dad, had a showy role on the original 90210 in the fourth season) is back to be his father again. Now, I think the actual ideas in this story were believable. Mom is willing to welcome dad back home, son doesn't feel so welcoming. And I feel like everyone acted the hell out of what they had. But come on now. In my experience, part of being a teenager is that you want these moments to happen, and they don't. You hope like hell that someone will say "You were right, I'm going to defer to you because you are indeed a Man" but really, you wind up just sitting in your room stewing because that. Never. Happens. A kid like Vince who is so focused on what he has to do for his mother, on keeping her feeling good and OK, would in fact maybe face off with this guy, maybe say what he said about his dad not being welcome. But a kid like Vince would read between the lines. See how relieved and happy his mother was not to be alone anymore? How she sagged in relief at not having to shoulder everything by herself, because even if she stumbled, as they had each stumbled, they'd be together? So Vince would have swallowed his own feelings, like a good kid who's been parentalized always does – and let her have Dad. It's a selfish move, even if it's the right move – and it feels rather false.
I do however buy his breakdown with Eric. I buy completely and totally that he would feel frustrated and cheated that he didn't have someone to guide him, that he was feeling adrift. And I buy that Eric's lovely words "You don't have to be better, you just have to try. To keep trying" would resonate in Vince's mind.
But I just can't focus on it. Because you know why?
Because here's Vince, being parented by as many people as can get access to him, and here's Buddy Jr, not even onscreen but being fussed over, and here's Ragdoll (apparently her name is Maura) and even Becky…
But who is taking care of Julie?
Okay, I know. I know that going to university means your parents aren't watching and you make some mistakes and I'm not implying I didn't, or that I didn't see a lot of people who did, or that any of the mistakes Julie's making are unusual or, indeed, going to scar her forever. She did the rather dumb thing, went to bed with someone she barely knew, and now feels stupid about it. From what I understand, almost everyone in the world is reading this and going "Yeah, and? Lather and repeat."
But I hate hate hate that she's doing them in a bubble.
It's 2010. Parents are hovercrafts, and can check in on their teenagers at any time. And I know Julie is trying to cut the cord, but Tami is emotional enough – and is seeing what's going on with teenage girls all the time – that she would be calling her girl every day. Would be wanting names of friends and TAs and would be able to tell, in that psychic way that she has always had, that something was going on with her little girl.
I will take bets from anyone who doesn't think that Julie will be back in Dillon, nursing some shame, in a matter of weeks (I'm betting two), but I really, really don't want this to be on the Taylors – and yet, I do. Didn't they teach her better? Even if they didn't and all girls make mistakes (again I say, we've all been there) why aren't they talking to her more? Calling her, 'bothering' her? I just see it as such a gaping hole in what has been, up to now, pretty flawless parenting – and I don't want them to knock Eric and Tami down this way. And even more than that – if, between now and episode 13, that marital discord I've heard about is on it's way, please, please let it not be because of the mistakes of their teenage daughter.
These people used to have ideas about what was right, an unshakeable belief in what they were going through together. But I haven't seen Eric and Tami lying in bed together all season. And it hurts, because if we don't have them – what do we have? Where did it go? Where will it go?

An image of peace - Newspaper Article
FITZ Maurice contributes a segment to a mural commemorating the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
January 13, 2011|By Ashley Breeding
One day recently, while Laguna artist FITZ Maurice was in attendance at her weekly church service, she said a vibrant image suddenly appeared to her.
"I could see a bottom of blue and lots of color, but I didn't understand what it was or its significance," she said.
About a month later, the award-winning painter — whose credentials include the New York Unisphere Award (2009) and Jackson Pollock-Lee Krasner Award (2001) — was commissioned by the Art Miles Mural Project to contribute a segment of its 9/11 Tribute Mural, which will make a national tour before being presented at Ground Zero in September on the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attack.
"At that moment, I knew why I was shown this image that day," the New York City native said.
Based in San Diego, the Art Miles Mural Project is an international nonprofit that aims to create global harmony through art, one mural at a time.
As Maurice aims to create the same, one painting at a time, she was elated to be a part of the project.
She calls the high-voltage conceptual piece a spiritual "transformer," one that's representative of the heavens opening up and shooting beams of light and inviting the viewer to step into the center and be transformed from earth to the heavens.
Titled "Triumph," Maurice said the mural carries the message that we, as a nation, must triumph over evil and move past the fear and doubt, which the events of 9/11 instilled in us.
"Ten years later, Americans must get over this and come together in unity and strength," she said.
An unveiling of the 12-by-5-foot mural will take place from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Saturday at 1200 S. Coast Hwy. Attendees will have the opportunity to view the finished work for the first time, enjoy hors d'oeuvres and beverages and meet with the artist.
Known for her signature technique in which she builds veils of dense color on top of each other with gouache — a water base paint that has stronger pigment than watercolors — Maurice said her work is inspired mostly by world travels and nature.
Many of her paintings, which depict images of Europe, America's great parks and California's cities, are meant to uplift the spirits of people who need nature around them.
"My work honors land, sea and air — the great gifts that God gave us," she said. "Through art, I hope to promote world peace through tolerance and love for thy neighbor.
"I believe my paintbrush is God's sword, and if I let go of control of my hands, he'll lead me to paint whatever image he wants me to portray."

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) has a strong collection of Japanese photography and a history of showing important photographic work from that country to American audiences, dating back to a 1999 retrospective of the work of Daido Moriyama. Last year, curator Lisa Sutcliffe began work on putting together an exhibition of the work of Naoya Hatakeyama, a photographer whom she describes as one of the most interesting Japanese artists working right now but someone who has not yet become well known in the United States. She traveled to Japan to meet with him—in March of 2011, when the tsunami struck, destroying Hatakeyama's hometown of Rikuzentakata and killing his mother.
The show that Sutcliffe and Hatakeyama were meant to discuss was transformed by those events. The result is Natural Stories, organized in cooperation with the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography and opening at SFMOMA on July 28. The exhibition is a retrospective, featuring more than 100 photographs along with videos, all with a focus on the artist's landscape work.
"All of his work is looking at landscapes in transition. It draws on the tradition of the sublime, so even when the work is peaceful there's always this quality of on-the-verge-of-change," Sutcliffe says. "Even if the photographs are sort of peaceful and idyllic there is this sense of this other, more interesting system at work."
The earliest work in the show comes from Hatakeyama's Lime Hills series, which the artist began in 1986. Those photographs of a landscape shaped by a desire for the natural resources within are, says Sutcliffe, a sort of jumping-off point for the career that followed, throughout which Hatakeyama has explored the relationship between the land and the people who live and work in it. And, ever since the tsunami, the balance of power in that relationship is exceedingly clear—and seeing Hatakeyama's photographs from 25 years ago next to his work from this past year just underscores that point.
"You look at these landscapes where humans have interacted with the landscape, and you see the pictures after the tsunami," Sutcliffe says, "and just how much nature really does still have power over us."
Naoya Hatakeyama is an award-winning Japanese photographer. The exhibition Naoya Hatakeyama: Natural Stories is on view at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art from July 28 – Nov. 4, 2012.

Your house seems to be acting like Cisco in early 2000. Home values surged 17% or more during the past year in cities hardly known for their flash, such as Tucson, Ariz., and Topeka, Kans. Many buyers are waving bids around without even inspecting the property. And money is flooding into McMansions and vacation homes, reminiscent of the cash that rushed into technology-stock funds that were all the rage a few years back. So the bubble police are on full alert, sensing another NASDAQ-like flameout.
But don't let it concern you. Bubbles are for tech stocks, not homes.

LogoWatch We're pretty disappointed to learn that Swisscom has disproved the theory that the Swiss are largely immune to rebranding madness, preferring to eschew the advances of the Strategy Boutique in favour of avoiding armed conflicts and counting other people's money.
Sadly, the company has evidently answered the hypnotic siren song of the whalesong CD, fired up the obligatory joss-sticks and brainstormed its way to a new logo.
The blurb explains:
The implied Swiss cross in the logo, the warmth of the red shade and the axis as the central starting point create a sense of closeness, combining and uniting our customers' different experiences. The dynamism of the logo shows that life is a moving force and full of surprises. Swisscom gets things moving, has its fingers on the pulse and is part of everyday life.
God preserve us all. For the record, Swisscom adds that "a brand with words and pictures with different Swisscom lettering and a moving element will appear that symbolises venturing into the new multimedia age".
Those of you with robust constitutions can find an entirely pointless but somewhat hypnotic animation of the "moving element" concept here. Enjoy. ®

Difficulty: Difficult | Prep Time: 4 hrs | Cook Time: 1 hr | Yield: 20 pieces INGREDIENTS
For the Filling
½ cup Masoor Dal
1 Medium Onion
1½ Ginger paste
1 Green Chilli
½ tsp Chilli Powder
6 tbsp Oil
Salt to taste
For the Puri
2½ cup Madia (Flour)*
½ tsp Salt
¼ tsp Sugar
1 tbsp Oil
Oil for Deep Frying**
- Wash and soak the dal in water for about 3 hrs.
- Slice the onion and finely chop the green chilli and keep aside.
- Once the daal soaked well, make a smooth paste of it in a mixer adding as little water as possible.
- Now to make the filling, heat oil in a pan and add the onions.
- Fry the onions till translucent.
- Add the ginger paste and chopped green chilli. Fry for another 2-3 mins.
- Now add the dal paste, chilli powder and salt. Ensure that the salt is a bit on the higher side as this would give a better taste to the puris.
- Cook till the dal is mixed well with the onions and all the water has evaporated. Do not cook it for too long as it'll tend to make the filling very dry and hard to use later on.
- Now in a bowl, add the maida, salt and sugar and mix well.
- Then add the oil and evenly rub it into the flour.
- Now knead this flour with warm water and make it into a soft dough. The dough should be soft but not sticky. It's easier to make stuffed puri if the dough is soft.
- Now divide the dough and the filling into 20 equal portions each. Roll each of them into smooth balls
- Make smooth round balls of the dough first and then flatten them by appying pressure with your fingers and between your palm.
- Now place a ball of filling at the center and cover it with the dough. Ensure that the filling is in the center and the opening is sealed properly. Roll it between ur palm and flatten slightly. Repeat for the rest.
- Now grease a flat surface with a little oil and with a rolling pin, roll each of them into about 5" diameter round and ¼ cm thick. While rolling, the pressure should applied evenly and gently or else the filling may tend to come out of the puris.
- Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the puris one at a time. The puris would puff up once fried on one side. Flip and fry the other side for until slightly blown on each side. Please note, oil needs to be properly heated before frying the puris. Then again, if it gets too hot, then the puris would become too brown too soon. Hence, you need to regulate the temperature while you fry.
- Serve it hot with Aaloo Sabji.
*You may also use wheat flour instead of plain flour. In that case you need not add the oil in the dough.
**If you do not want to deep fry, you may roast each puris on a flat pan. Once roasted, on both sides, add 1 tsp of oil and shallow fry them evenly. The picture above is of shallow fried puris.
Aaloo ki Sabji
Difficulty: Easy | Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 10 mins | Yield: 3-4 servings
3 medium Aaloo (Potato)
½ tsp Dhania (Coriander) Powder
½ tsp Jeera (Cumin) Powder
¼ tsp Haldi (Turmeric) Powder
1 tsp Chilli Powder
½ tsp Kasoori Methi (Dried Fenugreek leaves)
½ tsp Hing (Asefotida) Powder
2 tbsp Ghee (Clarified Butter)*
Salt to taste
- Boil the potatoes. Peal and crush them a little with your hands to get uneven pieces.
- In a pan heat the ghee.
- Add the kasoori methi and then the dhania, jeera, haldi, and chille powders. Add a little water and fry the masala for 2-3 mins.
- Then add the potatoes, salt and lastly the hing.
- Stir and add 2 cups of water.
- Simmer with covered lid for about 5 mins.
- Serve hot with kachori or puri or even chapati.

I gained an extra day on the weekend.
It has changed only the way I view others and common language. Little things like "Thank god" irk me a little inside, especially working in the health care industry, I saved your life, dumbass, not an imaginary person. Everyone knows I'm an atheist, and being in the south it can be comical to watch everyone look at me like I'm the one that's unintelligent for championing facts and science over a fabricated story. It really is amazing! You notice just how immoral people around you behave on a regular basis, but think that you are evil because you don't buy into their bullshit.
I'm going on my 10th year as an atheist, it took me almost 3 years to go from witnessing door to door to standing in the rain in front of friends calling their "god" a pussy if he didn't strike me down with lightning all the while laughing at them for being so gullible. LOL I need to move out of the south, out of America actually, it is going to be a theocracy if the idiots have their way!
The increasing number of non-believers is in my opinion progress. I think/hope the only thing that has changed in terms of the believers response to the increasing number of non-believer is how loud they are and how defensive they've become. They'll get their way for a while (Cuz they are loud) but I think the pendulum will swing back towards being more reasonable. It's just going to suck in the meantime... (or I'm completely wrong and we'll end up in a theocracy in which case I'm outta here. )
I think in the time I have been an atheist in my location (Oregon) over the last 10 years it has become easier to be an open atheist. Even my racist conservative creationist christian tea-party relatives still invite me to attend family functions with at most a few jokes hurled in my direction.
I was young and excited when I became an atheist over 30 years ago. It felt like coming out of the dark ages, and I thought the whole world would awaken along with me to the simple truth that religion is just primitive superstition. It didn't happen that way.
I still love life and the enlightened perspective that my atheism helps provide, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. But it has been disappointing to see that this enlightenment is out of reach for so many. Progress has been painfully slow, and it even seems to be going backwards for large segments of the world's population. I felt like I was fortunate to be born in the age of reason, but with time, humanity doesn't seem so reasonable anymore. When I became an atheist, we were landing men on the moon, and science was capturing the world imagination. Then it seems we, in America at least, pulled back from reason.
Still, I think when you look at the numbers, atheists and agnostics are actually increasing. Maybe it just doesn't feel like it because the irrational make so much more noise!
It felt like coming out of the dark ages, and I thought the whole world would awaken along with me to the simple truth that religion is just primitive superstition. It didn't happen that way.
That's exactly how I felt when I finally realised that there is no god and I wouldn't even want to be one. I felt so good in the first few days but at the same time I was amazed that it's all so clear and a lot of people are still going in the opposite direction. I got over that after the first month, but I still can't believe how easy it is to see the truth and how easy people miss it.
I thought the whole world would awaken realise along with me to the simple truth that religion is just primitive superstition
That's a good one, I was born atheist, been atheist for 45 years, and still get that feeling on a daily basis!!!! wow, that's kinda sad :(
I don't call it enlightenment tho, I actually despise that word, it has too much spiritual mumbo jumbo connotation attached to it. I don't see humanity as going forward per se, simply in a different direction. Humanity is not getting better per se, we're simply getting bigger.
As a born atheist who never adopted religion, nothing has changed for me personally.
However, on a global scale, I am concerned that more and more people are killing for religion. Maybe it is merely that the number of years have piled up, or maybe it is the 9/11 and post 9/11 killings, but I think it is more essential than ever that atheists speak the truth and try to convince the insane religious majority to give up their murderous myths.

One step a head with negotiation skills training
When we enter into a business matter we will face the situation force us to make some good deal and agreement. This is not easy stuff because we have to force our capability and selfish into a win win solution, our colleagues / customer / investor get win win solution and good deal thus we get the same too, equal like them. As we know that's almost impossible because everyone has something to reach as their goal and that will be never the same between one another. Everyone have a different willing, purpose and thought. But we know too that there are some people who can do this, they able to make a win win solution with smooth way. To reach this you need negotiation skills training, everyone will always need some good practice for the first to make them capable handle this things. It can't growth and build stronger by itself, it need some effort to reach it and no need to hesitate or deny if we are not capable in this matter, it's normal and everyone through this when they meet this case for the first time.
That's why lately there are a lot of negotiation skills training held to help everyone who need to explore and developed their capability, since we know so many business development and exploration of course there will be so many meeting, discussion, presentation, dealing and agreement should be made and build. All of us will need this negotiation skill training to grab all our deal and win.
You can't just abstentions and freeze saw how fast it can press and leave us if we are not grabs it as fast as we can. You will traps into a difficult situation and abandon, because other people who fastest and smartest will grab it like a hunger and won't give us a piece of this opportunity if we are not takes the chance as fast as we can and grab our own opportunity.
You like or not this is the reality, the new age movement that force us to be more deligent and smart if we want to grab our prosperity and many of project dealing, some huge order from customer or rise up the company revenues.
That's why everyone who wants to reach the success should stand up and move. Do and find some positive thus good way out to rise up the capability so every pieces of chances that offered can be take and grab it to be our wealth thus our next chance of opportunity.
The coming of negotiation skill training will give you a new chance, hope of a new way of dealing the project with smart way, and for the people who didn't had experienced through this class will get a lot of changes and positive lesson to apply in daily business matter.
What else hold you back to reach all your opportunity and wealth, since there are a new breakthrough and discovery how to grab it in easy way with just take a lesson and do some practice to make perfect. Then you will see many thing changes, you can reach it in easy way. Out of your mind you will see how great the result you can sucks from this simple class but give you a huge new experience of dealing exploration.
Day by day you will be more skillful after you do some practice and try to step on your first deal. Then the second dealing won't be hard anymore for you it just like you move your feet one step a head.

I am pleased to announce that Hank Zyp is the recipient of the 2011 SAGE Award in the area of social justice and peace. The SAGE awards celebrate seniors who inspire, empower and engage others in making our community, province, nation and world a better place.
The list of Hank and Tillie Zyp's achievements is long and impressive. It includes the founding of two NGOs: St. Joseph's Save the Children Club (now called Rainbow of Hope for Children) and Change for Children. Thirty-five years later, these organizations are thriving, proving ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference.
It includes a rich legacy of muralism: the 100-foot mural depicting 250 men and women of many times, races, nationalities and faiths who made a difference in the world, designed by Hank and executed in 1987 with the help of his commercial art students at St. Joseph Composite High School; Painting Peace Project (2000-01) that brought together Central American and Canadian youth; Edmonton Peace Mural, on the Salvation Army Building downtown, unveiled as part of Change for Children's 25th anniversary celebration, and the Children's Rights and Multiculturalism mural on St. Angela's School which celebrates the life of Ed Carson (1958-2008), one of the many students whose activism and artistic creativity Hank inspired.
Portions of the 100-foot mural are displayed at St. Joe's.
At a meeting of Edmonton's Salvadoran community, it was delightful to be "distracted" by the portraits of persons revered by those who sought refuge in Canada during the brutal war of the 80s in El Salvador.
Hank used his literary skills writing for Catholic New Times, Prairie Messenger, Western Catholic Reporter, Rainbow of Hope for Children and for a 420-page album to accompany the mural he designed and painted with his students.
However, the SAGE award celebrates a continuum of engagement. It celebrates what Hank has done since he was felled by a major stroke in 2002 at the age of 67.
In addition to experiencing mobility problems, his voice was silenced and his ability to write and paint reduced to a slow scrawl. Hank shouldered the task of rehabilitation courageously.
Hank attends Rainbow of Hope for Children board meetings. He keeps up to date on global events and local news. He greets people with a big hug; passes notes of congratulations, comments on events of common interest.
He makes up for not being able to express himself verbally by being present to everyone's words, banging on the table to express approval and enthusiasm. The absence of words frees him to be fully present and to experience intense childlike joy and excitement.
Recently, the U of A Festival of Minds presented Nicaraguan poet Ernesto Cardenal. Hank was overwhelmed with joy at meeting the friend he had visited twice in Solentiname in the 1980s.
He and his daughter Theresa plan to raise money to build a school on Solentiname just as they did recently for a music program in Managua.
On Oct. 16, 2007, five and a half years after his major stroke, Hank held an exhibition of 26 colourful acrylic paintings completed in the previous 10 months. The paintings featured aboriginal people of Canada and Latin America, reflecting his abiding concern for justice for the dispossessed of the earth.
Recently, Hank, Tillie and I met at an executive committee of city council to defend the public space that honours Mary Burlie in downtown Edmonton. I became Hank's voice using the words he recorded from Mary Burlie.
"We must start changing our hearts and minds around how we start dealing with the poor."
Hank and Tillie's work reaches across generations, reminding us we are all brothers and sisters called to work for peace, justice and love.
This award honours Hank's valiant return to activism and community contribution.
It will be presented on May 11 at the Sutton Place Hotel, 10235-101 St., 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tickets firstname.lastname@example.com.

Last week a 14-year-old middle-school girl in Tooele, Utah, was sent home for wearing a simple white T-shirt and a flowy skirt falling just above the knee. Turns out the teen's skirt was too short and the hemline violated the school's dress code. The principal declared the outfit inappropriate and called her father.
What? Look at the photo below and you'll probably agree that her clothes are harmless. Any parent of a teen would be thrilled to have their daughter wear such a wholesome getup. It's cute, casual and fashionable. She's not even clomping around in those ridiculous-looking Ugg boots. She's sporting a pair of Tom's, a better choice with a skirt.
Was the principal unfair? Did he take his school's dress code too far? That's what people were asking when the girl's father published the photo on his blog, Adult Onset Atheist, Jezebel picked it up and the "shocking" pic started spreading across the Internet universe like wildfire.
The father, who claims his daughter's hemline was only a centimeter too high, was clearly troubled by the school's decision and shares his confusion in his blog post. (Note: The father refers to his daughter as AYD.)
"I was shocked at my ineptitude," he writes. "The outfit actually looked appropriate to me; especially given the fact that it was 86F ( 30C) and the AC in the junior high was not working well outside of the front office. How could I be so blind as to not see that AYD was dressed as a harlot, and presented a danger to all the boys in the school? I read Great Expectations once. Just because the school might champion some Dickensonian imagery does not mean they must bow to them all. What vile boy-crushing monster had AYD become, and why could I not see it?"
The father goes on to suspect that the principal and teachers must have been thinking inappropriate thoughts about his daughter to consider this outfit provocative.
His readers were equally dismayed. One writes in: "She looks lovely — stylish, fashionable outfit that is age-appropriate and completely devoid of all sleaze factor. School principal is a creep."
Another shares: "And I thought the Catholic school where my daughter goes was uptight."
On the flip side, why should a school have a dress code if it's not enforced? These codes are put in place to create a safe learning environment and, more importantly, they teach kids how to follow the rules, most school officials would tell you.
Brian Sullman wrote in a thought-provoking piece on dress codes for the Baltimore Sun many years ago:
Despite all the rhetoric about needing to preserve decorum or create a safe environment, the real reason for these codes is that adults teach children by setting arbitrary limits.
Learning to deal with rules and restrictions is one of the biggest challenges of growing up. That's my observation from having two adolescents at home who simultaneously want my wife and me to impose limits and resist them when we do. Some of the worst fights I have had with my daughters involve, in the larger context of life, trivial matters.
School dress codes are nothing new. Many people probably remember the those more conservative times when boys weren't allowed to step through school doors in blue jeans and girls were forbidden from wearing pants. Sullman at the Sun recalls girls lining up at the office in the morning to have their hemlines measured.
To keep up with the more relaxed, casual clothing trends, dress codes have evolved over the years. Jeans are now commonly worn by both girls and boys. Some schools don't allow kids to wear hooded sweat shirts, a clothing item that's often associated with gangs. Other principals banned Ugg boots because kids were hiding their cell phones in them and texting during class. These rules actually make some sense. But in this day-and-age does a hemline that's slightly too high really matter?

Darwin overview
Darwin was a phase-A study performed by ESA. It studied a constellation of spacecraft to find Earth-like planets - the most likely places where life as we know it could develop. Darwin proposed to survey 1000 of the closest stars looking for small, rocky planets.
Darwin was proposed as a constellation of four or five free-flying spacecraft designed to search for Earth-like planets around other stars and analyse their atmospheres for chemical signatures of life.
The constellation was proposed to carry out high-resolution imaging using aperture synthesis in order to provide pictures of celestial objects in unprecedented detail.
Looking for planets that orbit stars outside the Solar System, or extrasolar planets, is very hard. Even for nearby stars, it is like trying to see the feeble light from a candle next to a lighthouse 1000 km away.
At optical wavelengths a star outshines an Earth-like planet by a thousand million to one. Partly to overcome this difficulty, Darwin proposed to conduct observations in the mid-infrared. At these wavelengths the star-planet contrast drops to a million to one, making detection a little easier.
What's special?
Darwin's observations would have been carried out in the infrared since life on Earth leaves some of its marks at these wavelengths.
On Earth, biological activity produces gases that mingle with our atmosphere. For example, plants give out oxygen and animals expel carbon dioxide and methane. These gases and other substances, such as water, leave their fingerprints by absorbing certain wavelengths of infrared light. Darwin would have split the light from an extrasolar planet into its constituent colours, using an instrument called a spectrometer.
This would show the drop in light caused by specific gases being in the atmosphere, allowing them to be identified. If they turned out to be the same as those produced by life on Earth, rather than by non-biological processes, Darwin would have found evidence for life on another world.
Earth's atmosphere blocks the mid-infrared wavelengths that Darwin would be designed to observe. At room temperature, the telescopes would themselves emit infrared radiation, swamping their own observations. It would be like using a normal telescope to perform optical astronomy with a wall of floodlights pointing into it.
Outside Earth's atmosphere, in outer space, temperatures are very low. Darwin's telescope was to be designed to work at just 40K (–233°C) while the actual detector was to be reduced in temperature further to just 8K (–265°C). This would stop the telescope from giving out its own infrared signal, allowing it to search for faint light from distant planets.
Three (or four) spacecraft of the Darwin constellation would have carried 3-4 m telescopes or light collectors, based on the Herschel design. These would have redirected light to the central hub spacecraft.
To meet its objective to find and investigate Earth-like planets, Darwin would have used a technique called 'nulling interferometry'. The light reaching some of the telescopes would have been delayed slightly before being combined again. This would have caused light from the central star to be 'cancelled out' in the resultant data.
Light from planets, however, is already delayed between one telescope and the other since the planet is to one side of where the telescopes are pointed. By delaying the light a second time, the light from the planet would be combined constructively, showing the planet. If not for this 'nulling', the starlight would overwhelm the planet's feeble glow.
In its 'imaging' mode, Darwin would have worked like a single large telescope, with a diameter of up to several 100 m, providing images of many types of celestial objects in detail.
For Darwin to work, the telescopes and the hub must have stayed in formation with millimetre precision. ESA was planning to achieve this aim using a variation of the highly successful Global Positioning System (GPS) that provides so much of the satellite-based navigation on Earth.
But this was not enough, as the light collected by the telescopes was supposed to be recombined at very high precision. A deviation of more than just 100 thousandths of a millimetre could have ruined the observation.
Although this sounds like an impossible feat of accuracy, ESA together with European industry had started some of the pre-developments for the necessary metrology and optical equipment that would allow such precision. The full demonstration of the final feasibility of the approach would have required more detailed studies.
The spacecraft was probably to be equipped with tiny ion engines that need just five kilograms of fuel to last the entire five-year mission. The ion engines expel small particles at very high velocity such that the spacecraft moves slightly in the opposite direction.
For launch, the mission would have required two launches with Soyuz-Fregat rockets.
Instead of an orbit around Earth, Darwin would have been placed far away, beyond the Moon. At a distance of 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, in the opposite direction from the Sun, Darwin would have operated from the second Lagrange Point (L2).
The idea for this mission was proposed in 1993. Darwin's goals were to detect Earth-like planets circling nearby stars and to set constraints on the possibility of the existence of life as we know it on these planets.
The goals were then expanded to include the capability to provide high-resolution images, at least 10 to 100 times more detailed than the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a joint NASA/ESA mission due for launch around 2014.
ESA had been working on possible designs since the mid-1990s. Scientists and engineers redesigned the Darwin flotilla, finding ingenious ways to reduce the demanding technological requirements of the various spacecraft. ESA followed on with a study to investigate a way to achieve the same scientific results using just four free-flying telescopes instead of eight.
During the Darwin study, NASA was also considering missions similar to Darwin. Given the ambitious nature of both projects, NASA and ESA considered a collaboration on the final mission.

I've converted lights to LED in the past, but little more than a bulb replacement. This one took some work.
I salvaged the pill, emitter, and driver from a Tank007 TK-566. Dremelled out the head of a Mini MagLite, and cut down the tube. It runs off of 1 AA batt, but I plan for a single 14500. All 5 modes of the original light work. With the offset mount, it's small enough for my Walther PK380. A Nite-Ize clicky switch finished it off.

India's $100 billion software and services outsourcing sector is likely to meet the lower end of the growth outlook for this fiscal year, an industry lobby group said as customers tread cautiously on technology spending due to global economic uncertainty.
The National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom) had in February forecast IT exports to grow 11-14 per cent in the fiscal year ending March 2013.
"For FY2013, a year marked by significantly varied trends, the industry is expected to meet the lower-end of its growth guidance and at least achieve a double-digit growth," Nasscom said in a statement on Monday.
Industry export revenues are estimated at $75 billion to $77 billion for the year, it said.
The pace of growth slowed in the recent quarters for India's top outsourcing companies, including Infosys Ltd and Wipro Ltd, as western clients curbed spending in a difficult business environment.
With customers such as Citigroup, Wal-Mart Stores, BP Plc and Volkswagen AG, the Indian outsourcing sector relies on the United States and Europe for three quarters of its revenue.

What we have here for you today is an excellent introduction to mac cleaner, and then you will be in a position to build on it. Truth about it is that is where it all starts with everybody – realizing there is something more to the story.
Sure, maybe you can find people to help you with certain aspects, but we always like to do as much as possible ourselves. Remember though, that you have to take everything into consideration and go with what works best for you.
The items that you are about to read about are all taken from experience; not only ours but many others as well.
How much you need to do at any one time is impossible for us to say, and that is more of a subjective assessment.
Finding the good ones we like is the best part of learning new tips about the Mac OS. You can go online and find various sites that have lots of apps, which you can use on your Mac. OS X Lion has a learning curve that you can definitely make shorter, if that is what you want to do. Not everyone uses their Mac for professional reasons or to build an online business, but more for ordinary things. Tips about the Mac OS can help you save time even if you are only a regular user.
People that make EPUBs need to remember that multimedia must be embedded. Without it, it will make using them very dull. You can quickly embed video or any images as well as audio. When you get this done, you'll notice that it actually requires a bit of concentration. The exact steps include clicking the add button, and choose to embed files when you see the dialog box. Special considerations for video must be taken into account before adding them. You have to use the tools and applications available to make sure that the video is iPhone compatible. Even though we are offering a solid overview with some pertinent details about mackeeper review, there is much more than you may realize.
All you need to do is follow along because we have this plus much more in store. As you go through this, some things will standout more than others, but do not throw the baby out with the bathwater, either. Once you have more time to think about things, we think you will arrive at the conclusion that it actually is helpful. We urge you to be open to information even if at first glance it does not seem like it will help you. In the rest of our discussion, we will offer more information that will reinforce what you have already learned, and then you will be better equipped to understand.
We have received lots of feedback about it, and one common thing is people easily get overwhelmed with all the information – but no worries, we know you can handle it with ease.
Before the new Mac OS X Lion, it could be annoying to see the indicator lights on that showed that an app was open. Nevertheless, there are a lot of convenient features accessible through the Dock that will make your work easier. Now, if those indicator lights still aggravate you, you can easily disable them. All you need to do is go to your System Preferences and make the appropriate selection. When you get to the right place, access Dock and choose to have the indicator lights on or off.
It is terribly annoying, no matter what operating system you are using, when you finish a download and it gets lost. In fact, it is always a good idea to make a mental note of where your new download is going before closing all the windows. There is an easy way to get to the downloads folder in a Mac OS, when you use the shortcut that is on the keyboard. Located in the Finder is Command Option L, and this can be used to gain access to all of the information you have downloaded and put in the folder for that purpose. There are several ways to get to the folder holding your downloads, and you should remember this. So just use this tip or any other way you have that may be your favorite method.
A big benefit of having a computer is being able to organize all of your data into the files and folders that you want in a way you can understand. Taking the time to learn how to do this is well worth the effort. It will be easy to find even more tips and guidelines on the Mac OS if you do a little searching. No matter what you use your computer for, or how often you use it, you will benefit by learning more tips and tricks about how to use the Mac OS to manipulate your file structure.
One does not have to look far to see how expansive the influence of mackeeper review really is. But just avoid the thought that something is lacking in you if you were caught off guard when this arrived on your doorstep.
Probably the best defense against such situation is paying attention to your thoughts and keeping your eyes wide open. The interesting thing about us humans is we usually do not pay a lot of attention to prevention. You know what tends to happen, it is only post-event or knowledge that action is taken. If you can put things in place that will help you, then that is smart; and we mean becoming more aware about it.

Yeah, this title might totally be the way R would describe some of my past baking (and cooking) "experiments". Remember that cake-in-a-jar that I baked back in October 2010? Well, immediately after making them, I sent them off to my sister and BIL who are currently serving in A-stan. All except for one lonely jar. I stuck this one away at the bottom of my fruit basket with all intentions of "opening" it about 3 weeks after I baked it. (Three weeks is about the time that it takes for a package to arrive over to my sister.) Well, about three weeks later, I did indeed hear from her that the pineapple cake-in-a-jar was delish and she then requested zucchini bread-in-a-jar, which you can read all about here. Needless to say, I forgot about the cake-in-a-jar that I had saved to try later. One month passed. Then two months. For the last couple of weeks, I've been eyeing the jar on my baker's rack and every time I see it, I decide that I'm going to open it…and then I get distracted and forget about it. I think part of me was (subconsciously) afraid it wasn't good anymore and I would get some sort of stomach bug from it. And that's coming from the girl with the iron stomach. Well, I saw an "encouragement" from my friend A (see her blog here) to "write" blog entries so she would have something to read tonight, so A, this post is for you.
Here's what the cake-in-a-jar looked like after 3 months. No obvious mold. Good.
When I opened it, I did hear the seal "POP". And it didn't look dried out and still smelled delicious. It came out of the jar pretty easily. Only a little part of it was left behind in the jar. Continue reading

Eunice Kennedy Shriver has drawn support from countless Special Olympians and their families as she lies in critical condition at Cape Cod Hospital in Massachusetts.
Since her hospitalization on Friday, the 88-year-old younger sister of ex-prez John F. Kennedy and founder of the Special Olympics has received cards, e-mails and calls from people who live and work with people with mental disabilities, a Special Olympics spokeswoman told The Associated Press. Many have also posted messages on EuniceKennedyShriver.org.
The cause for Shriver's hospitalization is unknown, though she has suffered a string of strokes in recent years.
Shriver's daughter Maria and her husband, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, have reportedly been at her side near the Shriver and Kennedy compound. Shriver's brother Sen. Ted Kennedy is currently being treated for brain cancer in Hyannis Port.

Polaris announced today the formal launch of its Ranger Crew diesel side-by-side utility vehicle with an integrated multi-power system, a first for vehicles in this category. Farm Industry News got the chance to preview and drive this vehicle in April at the grand opening of Polaris' expanded R&D facility in Wyoming, MN.
The new vehicle, called the Ranger "Hippo," is essentially a Polaris Ranger crew with a mobile generator taking up the back seat. You can use the generator to power hydraulic, pneumatic, electric and welding equipment you'd need to repair equipment in the field. Compare this to using a full-size service truck, which is a lot heaver, harder to maneuver and can get stuck when you're driving to those remote locations on the farm.
All the power comes from the vehicle's 24-horsepower diesel engine, which has been re-engineered to serve double-duty as a generator. The integrated HIPPO 1041CP Multipower System has one hydraulic tool circuit, two quick disconnect pneumatic fittings, two 120 volt electric outlets at 20 amps and one welding console with quick disconnects.
The Ranger Hippo has run flat tires with a honeycomb construction that pushes out the mud and absorbs bumps to the point of your not even knowing when you hit one.
Although its first buyers will likely be railroad and utility companies, the Hippo can work equally as well on farms with its pneumatics, hydraulics, electrical and welding capabilities, according to Polaris. The estimated MSRP? Right around $57,000 to $58,000.
For more information contact your local dealer or visit www.polaris.com/hippo.

(RNN) - A 36-year-old man who was admitted to intensive care with acute heart failure coughed up a lot more than mucus.
During an extreme episode of coughing, the man expelled a blood clot in the shape of the right bronchial tree, the New England Journal of Medicine reported.
The bronchial tree is part of the respiratory system. It manages air in the lungs.
The six-inch-wide clot was coughed up in one piece, according to The Atlantic.
Doctors inserted a heart pump and tubes into the man to manage his acute heart failure.
But he died a week later due to complications, the New England Journal of Medicine reported.
The man's medical history included heart failure and he had a pacemaker.

Cyber Safety
This story appears in the April 1999 issue of Business Start-Ups magazine. Subscribe »
You've heard all the hype and know the benefits the Internet can bring to any small business. But the Web brings potential hazards, too. This month, we look at three of the biggest business risks in cyberspace and how you can protect yourself.
Claire Tristram is a business and technology writer in San Jose, California.
A Tangled Web
Well-designed Web sites can reach thousands of potential customers, but they can also leave your company vulnerable. "I call it `shark-infested cyberspace,' " says Nancy James, principal of N.P. James Insurance Agency in Concord, Massachusetts, and a specialist in cyberspace liability. "There's insurance to protect you, but we're talking about very expensive policies that might not protect you from every risk."
If you have a Web site, James notes, you're technically considered a publisher and are therefore liable for all the same things as a major publisher, including being sued for plagiarism, copyright infringement and libel. In addition, there are no geographic boundaries on the Web, which can lead to potential trademark risks. A business in Chicago with the same legal name as a business in Atlanta never used to worry about customers confusing the two. On the Web, however, these companies might end up suing one another.
How can you protect yourself? James recommends that in addition to beefing up your liability insurance, you should invest in a few hours of legal advice before opening your online storefront. And don't put up your Web site without including a rock-solid disclaimer. Want to learn from a company that can afford the very best in insurance and legal protection? Check out Microsoft's online disclaimer at http://www.microsoft.com/misc/cpyright.htm
E-mail Alert
An employee posts a message in an Internet chat room, claiming that your company is selling a dangerous product. Your senior manager sends a group message that contains a racist comment. A disgruntled ex-worker sends a broadcast e-mail to your competitors that includes confidential information about your company.
Entrepreneurs like you have faced these and other kinds of electronic crises: Although giving your staff Internet access makes communication easier, it also means that an employee might be able to break your business with the press of a key.
Your first defense is to make sure your existing liability insurance includes coverage for electronic messages. "It's important to check the language in your policy," says James. "Electronic communication might specifically be excluded." If your policy doesn't specifically exclude electronic communication, you will be covered in most cases.
To protect yourself even further, develop a simple one-page document for your employees that outlines rules about electronic documents. State clearly what kind of communication is and is not appropriate and how to respect the confidentiality of company data. Let them know that if they break the rules, they'll be prosecuted.
For more help, pick up a copy of E-Policy: How to Develop Computer, E-Mail, and Internet Guidelines to Protect Your Company and Its Assets (Amacom Books) by Michael R. Overly.
Fighting Hackers
Even the Pentagon's computer systems have been the victim of break-ins by savvy computer hackers. How do you protect yourself from electronic breaking-and-entering? ICSA Inc., an Internet security services provider in Reston, Virginia, offers its networking services' customers insurance that compensates them for any network damage resulting from a hacker break-in. For more information, visit ICSA's Web site at http://www.icsa.net/trusecure or contact the company at (703) 453-0500.

Alumna Mary Farley '03 Provides Valuable Voice at GE Healthcare
There have been a number of dramatic turning points in the career of Stevens alumna Mary Farley (B.E. in Computer Engineering, 2003; M.E. in Systems Engineering, 2009), but none can compare to the life-changing experience of being on the 40th floor of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
At the time, Farley was an undergraduate at Stevens – a sorority president, tennis player, and a Cooperative Education student. The Point Pleasant, N.J. native trekked into Manhattan that morning for her Co-op assignment at Lehman Brothers, where she worked in network operations supporting the trading floors and ensuring connectivity between global offices.
When the planes flew into the Twin Towers, Farley and her coworkers were incredibly fortunate to escape unharmed. But, like the rest of the world, their lives were on hold. The immediate task at hand was making sure Lehman Brothers – a critical cog in the global financial system wheel – was up and running by the next day of trading.
"Rebuilding Lehman and reconnecting it back to the markets in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks was truly unprecedented," Farley said. "We had to work incredibly long shifts, but we had a great team and we worked together to make it happen."
The experience also made Farley think about what she really wanted in her career and personal life. In class at Stevens, she had toyed with electrical engineering and gained experience as a computer engineer – her major – at a Co-op assignment at MITRE Corporation, where she worked overnight shifts at Fort Drum testing defense technologies while soldiers took part in combat exercises.
Still, after reflecting on "what really drives me," Farley's choice was health care. Much like engineering, she felt healthcare was exciting – technology changes every day and forces you to stay on your toes to adapt and solve problems. And working in healthcare also meant Farley could make a real difference in people's lives.
So although Farley was offered a hard-to-pass-up opportunity to work at Lehman Brothers, she set her sights on a job at Johnson & Johnson. Out of approximately 4,000 applicants, she was among the 40 selected for the company's prestigious Information Management Leadership Development Program, where she spent two years rotating between different parts of the business.
"The exposure was great," said Farley, who did highly technical projects such as public key encryption, as well as healthcare policy work during her rotations. "We got to understand all that J&J had to offer and what part of healthcare they dig into."
Farley got a lot out of J&J's leadership program. She finished as the top-ranked member of her group by company-wide managers, earning instant recognition. She also discovered her future home state when her third rotation brought her to LifeScan, a California-based J&J company that manufactures diabetes control products.
"When the rotation ended, I didn't want to leave," said Farley, who provided technical support for the sales and marketing team at LifeScan. "Not only did I love California, but I loved being closer to the end customer who actually used our products."
Today, Farley works as a sales account executive for GE Healthcare, where she has flourished for the past three years. Although the position may appear removed from her previous experience, she said it all relates.
"My talent is in taking a technical message and connecting the dots and communicating it," said Farley. "That's what medical sales is all about."
As usual, Farley has achieved success after success at GE Healthcare. She started out by selling mammography equipment to clients in Northern California and Northern Nevada, and in just two years, she completely turned around the territory and was the top sales rep in the country. She was then chosen to sell the full portfolio of GE Healthcare products to key Bay Area hospitals, a job that requires unsurpassed strategic thinking, relationship-building and customer-service skills.
Farley said her engineering background is critical to her success as she pushes multi-million-dollar technology deals to some of GE Healthcare top accounts.
"My clients are leading radiologists and leading doctors, but I look extremely young and I have no clinical experience," said Farley. "But I get instant credibility from being an engineer. They realize I can have a conversation on a peer level. They realize I have a vision of what healthcare will look like in the future and how technology fits into it."
After another great year earning President's Circle recognition, Farley recently had another career turning point occur when she had just such a strategic conversation with none other than GE CEO Jeff Immelt, who was so impressed with Farley's work and ideas at a roundtable discussion in San Francisco in July that he invited her and her team to a personal lunch at GE headquarters.
"It was incredible," Farley said. "Jeff Immelt understands the importance of engaging with key hospitals to be able to prepare GE for the future of healthcare. He wanted to talk with the local sales team to get our opinion and feedback."

Prince Harry Dating Mollie King, Pop Singer: Report
A newspaper report in the U.K. is linking the prince with Mollie King
Has Prince Harry found himself a pop princess?
The prince, 27, just back from an Easter break in Transylvania, is being linked to Mollie King, 24, a member of an all-girl group called The Saturdays.
Harry is described by the Daily Express as "smitten" with the blonde, and, despite this still being "early days" in their relationship, the couple are said to be "head over heels" after recently spending time together in some London nightspots.
They also reportedly shared a karaoke session with friends at London's Bunga Bunga bar – and Ladbrokes, the betting parlor, is giving 5:1 odds that King will become Harry's next girlfriend.
When Harry Met Mollie
It is believed King first met Harry – who's just moved into his own bachelor pad at Kensington Palace – at a polo game a few years ago.
And the royal links don't end there. King's bandmate Una Healy was at that other royal wedding last summer – that of Harry's cousin Zara Phillips. Healy is engaged to Ben Foden, an English rugby teammate of Phillips's husband, Mike Tindall.
A spokesman for Prince Harry said that his office never comments on his private life. A rep for King was not available.
