"A Torture Debate Among Healers"
The American Psychological Association is in the midst of its own heated presidential campaign. The central issue is whether APA members should be banned from participating in "harsh interrogations."
"Where Do We Go From Here?"
It has been 40 years since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn., while standing on the balcony outside his room at the Lorraine Motel. King was there to support striking sanitation workers, African-American men who endured horrible working conditions for poverty wages. While King's staff was opposed to him going, as they were scrambling to organize King's new initiative, the Poor People's Campaign, King himself knew that the sanitation workers were at the front lines of fighting poverty.
"Body of War"
We just passed the grim milestone of 4,000 U.S. military members killed in Iraq since the invasion five years ago. Still, the death toll climbs. Tomas Young was one of those injured, on April 4, 2004, in Sadr City. Young is the subject of a new feature documentary by legendary TV talk-show host Phil Donahue and filmmaker Ellen Spiro, called "Body of War."

"Winter Soldier Marches Again"
Last weekend, in the lead up to the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, a remarkable gathering occurred just outside Washington, D.C., called Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan, Eyewitness Accounts of the Occupations. Hundreds of veterans of these two wars, along with active-duty soldiers, came together to offer testimony about the horrors of war, including atrocities they witnessed or committed themselves.
A Cause Bigger Than Any Scandal
The women of New York had a champion in Eliot Spitzer. The good news in the wake of the governor's resignation is that his successor, David Paterson, and the state's activists are ready to keep up the fight.
National Book Award Winners Edwidge Danticat & Harriet Washington on Democracy Now!
The National Book Critics Circle Awards have just been announced and two past DN! guests were among the winners: Edwidge Danticat ("Brother I'm Dying") and Harriet Washington ("Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present")
As Goes Vermont
While the Iraq war is off the front pages, and Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama embark on what may well be a scorched-earth primary battle against each other, let's keep our eye on where the real scorched earth lies: who profits and who dies.
Clinton proclaimed in her victory speech in Ohio on March 4, after winning three of the four primary contests that day, "as goes Ohio, so goes the nation." She should take note, however, of how goes Vermont. That state might be a better bellwether, especially concerning the U.S. quagmire in Iraq.
Hours After Jeremy Scahill Exposé, Clinton Proposes Military Contractor Ban
Hours after Democracy Now! correspondent Jeremy Scahill revealed Barack Obama would not "rule out" using private military companies like Blackwater Worldwide in Iraq, Hillary Clinton announced she would co-sponsor a measure to ban the use of Blackwater and other private military firms.
Taxi to the Dark Side
On the Sunday following Sept. 11, 2001, Vice President Dick Cheney told the truth. On NBC's "Meet the Press," he said regarding plans to pursue the perpetrators of that attack: "We have to work the dark side, if you will. We're going to spend time in the shadows."
The grim, deadly consequences of his promise have, in the intervening six years, become the shame of our nation and have outraged millions around the world. President George Bush and Cheney, many argue, have overseen a massive global campaign of kidnapping, illegal detentions, harsh interrogations, torture and kangaroo courts where the accused face the death penalty, confronted by secret evidence obtained by torture, without legal representation.
Democracy Now!'s Gala Event Now Available On DVD
From The Black World Today "Outside the New World Stages in midtown Manhattan, above in the heavens, a lunar eclipse held hundreds of stargazers breathless. Inside the entertainment palace, Jackson Browne, Willie Nelson, Dick Gregory, and coterie of well-known writers left folks in awe as they appeared to support Democracy Now's mission to build a new home."

Lessons of Internment
Nearing 87 years old, Yuri Kochiyama lives in a small room in an Oakland, Calif., senior living facility. Her walls are adorned with photos, posters, postcards and mementos detailing a living history of the revolutionary struggles of the 20th century. She is quiet, humble and small, and has trouble at times retrieving the right word. Yet, with a sparkle in her eyes, she has no trouble recalling that incredible history—not from books, not from documentaries, but from living it, on the front lines.
Highlights of Democracy Now! Coverage On Cuba
Lessons of the Chesapeake Sweep
After the Potomac Primary, Virginia is the new Massachusetts and Texas is the new Florida. Barack Obama claimed a "Chesapeake Sweep," winning all three primaries—Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia—by decisive margins. Hillary Clinton, whose campaign conceded these, is betting the house on the forthcoming delegate-rich primaries of Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania, with no campaign stops announced for next week's voting states, Wisconsin and Hawaii.
East Timor President in critical condition after assassination attempt
President Jose Ramos-Horta in critical condition after two gunshots to the stomach and chest during a morning raid on his home be Timorese rebels. The home of former president and current Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao was also attacked, but Gusmao eluded his attackers.
Millions Without a Voice
With all the talk of record voter participation, we should take a moment to think of the Americans, many of them African-American and Latino, who have been disenfranchised because they once committed a felony.
Western Civilization: An Idea Whose Time Has Come
Read Amy Goodman's latest column on Attorney General Michael Mukasey, torture and the death of the U.S.-backed Indonesian dictator Suharto.
By Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan
Former Guatemalan President Efraín Ríos Montt was hauled off to prison last Friday. It was a historic moment, the first time in history that a former leader of a country was tried for genocide in a national court. More than three decades after he seized power in a coup in Guatemala, unleashing a U.S.-backed campaign of slaughter against his own people, the 86-year-old stood trial, charged with genocide and crimes against humanity. He was given an 80-year prison sentence. The case was inspired and pursued by three brave Guatemalan women: the judge, the attorney general and the Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

Concepts and ArchitectureInnoDB
Performance Tuning and TroubleshootingInnoDB
Features for Flexibility, Ease of Use and
Startup Options and System VariablesInnoDB
is a general-purpose storage engine that
balances high reliability and high performance. In MySQL
5.6, issuing the CREATE
statement with no ENGINE=
creates an InnoDB
Key advantages of InnoDB
tables include:
Its DML operations follow the ACID model, with transactions featuring commit, rollback, and crash-recovery capabilities to protect user data.
Row-level locking and Oracle-style consistent reads increase multi-user concurrency and performance.
tables arrange your data on disk to
optimize queries based on
primary keys.
To maintain data
also supports
constraints. Inserts, updates, and deletes
are all checked to ensure they do not result in inconsistencies
across different tables.
You can freely mix InnoDB
tables with tables
from other MySQL storage engines, even within the same
statement. For example, you can use a
join operation to combine data
from InnoDB
and MEMORY
tables in a single query.
The latest InnoDB
offers significant new
features over MySQL 5.1 and earlier. These features focus on
performance and scalability, reliability, flexibility, and
Fast index creation: add or drop indexes without copying the data.
Data compression: shrink tables, to significantly reduce storage and I/O.
More efficient storage for
large column values: fully off-page storage of long
, and
Barracuda file format: enables new features while protecting upward and downward compatibility
tables: information about compression and locking
Performance and scalability enhancements: includes features such as multiple background I/O threads, multiple buffer pools, and group commit.
Other changes: for flexibility, ease of use and reliability.
Table 14.2. InnoDB
Storage Engine
Storage limits | 64TB | Transactions | Yes | Locking granularity | Row |
MVCC | Yes | Geospatial data type support | Yes | Geospatial indexing support | No |
B-tree indexes | Yes | T-tree indexes | No | Hash indexes | No[a] |
Full-text search indexes | Yes[b] | Clustered indexes | Yes | Data caches | Yes |
Index caches | Yes | Compressed data | Yes[c] | Encrypted data[d] | Yes |
Cluster database support | No | Replication support[e] | Yes | Foreign key support | Yes |
Backup / point-in-time recovery[f] | Yes | Query cache support | Yes | Update statistics for data dictionary | Yes |
[a] InnoDB utilizes hash indexes internally for its Adaptive Hash Index feature. [b] InnoDB support for FULLTEXT indexes is available in MySQL 5.6.4 and higher. [c] Compressed InnoDB tables require the InnoDB Barracuda file format. [d] Implemented in the server (via encryption functions), rather than in the storage engine. [e] Implemented in the server, rather than in the storage engine. [f] Implemented in the server, rather than in the storage engine. |
has been designed for maximum performance
when processing large data volumes. Its CPU efficiency is probably
not matched by any other disk-based relational database engine.
The InnoDB
storage engine maintains its own
buffer pool for caching data
and indexes in main memory. By default, with the
enabled, each new InnoDB
table and its associated
indexes are stored in a separate file. When the
option is
disabled, InnoDB
stores all its tables and
indexes in the single system
tablespace, which may consist of several files (or raw disk
partitions). InnoDB
tables can handle large
quantities of data, even on operating systems where file size is
limited to 2GB.

I'm somewhat of in a pinch and I'd appreciate your insight on how to solve things for the best. We've been operating like a company for about 1 year, and I say "like" because we haven't really got around constituting it as such. We are four partners bound only by our word and we all agreed to certain responsibilities, all but one of us has responded, the COO.
The problem lies in that he seems to forget his position and chooses (perhaps unconsciously) to focus on mundane work. This has gotten us in serious control, organizational and managerial issues and has really gotten to the point that I've personally taken charge for his responsibilities (mainly PM, for 1-2 week periods) where he asks me "what's next?", when it is supposedly his job to answer that. I've told him this personally.
The thing is that he is excellent at doing the everyday work, we are resource crunched and, given that we've all endured all sorts of stuff during all this time, the fact of cutting him loose just because he has an employee's attitude rather than a partner's seems like the wrong thing to do. He is a great worker, but he brings no value to the company other than his work.
It also feels like he is more comfortable asking "what's next" instead of determining it by himself and telling all of us what to do, which we are open and almost begging him to do it.
I'm not really sure how or what he should be doing instead of being a COO. Perhaps we are asking him more than he is ready to give, but I see no scenario where he is demoted (by position and/or equity) and doesn't leave the company. I also have the suspicion that he might have the intention of looking for another job (or at least is thinking about it).
Oh, and he is my best friend.

Lets talk about these Iphones. It's definitely valid when I say there's no competition, especially when there were more iPhones sold than babies born in the first quarter of 2012! Massive numbers like these have never been met by any other manufacturer. People will fight, and steal to own an Iphone but it doesn't stop there. Now apparently people kill over Iphones.
On Wednesday, Jasmine Diaz, 25, quickly turned into an hysterical outrage when her boyfriend Frankie Hernandez, 17, dropped and shattered her iPhone. Frankie apologize for the mishap but Jasmine continued on with her rage. At 1:30am, the feud carried on. According to Frankie's family members, the quarrel started in the hallway of 1009 Morris ave then moved to the street outside, moments later they heard screams and tires screeching. When they arrived outside, they found Frankie's broken body lying on Morris Ave. Diaz floored the accelerator of her Lincoln Aviator took Frankie's life and fled the scene
"I ran down to the street and it was too late," said the victim's devastated mother, Iris Hernandez. "His head was crushed. He wasn't moving. There was blood everywhere."
The couple have been dating for a about a year and their relationship was known to be very hostile. Frankie was announced dead at Lincoln hospital. The dead teen's brother, Cesar, said he heard screaming in the street while running outside to help his sibling.
"I heard the rubber burning and saw her just drive off," said Cesar Hernandez. "By the time I got to him, he was trying to talk, but just bubbles came out of his mouth."
Caesar ran a couple blocks to where Diaz resided and furiously banged on her door."I could hear her screaming inside, 'I just hit Frankie. I just hit him. I don't know what to do,'" Cesar said.
Diaz left her SUV at Fleetwood in the Bronx near her mother's house and attempted to hide out there. Police later found her and brought her in for questioning. Charges against Diaz are currently being developed. Frankie's sister Iris stated, "I want her to rot in hell," said Iris Hernandez. "Jail is too good for her. She needs to rot in hell."
Is an iPhone really worth someone's life? This girl obviously has some screws loose and she must really have a sad life to allow material things to drive her to such a rage. Spitters, what's your take on this madness?

Cadillac Records is the latest biopic film (with Who Do You Love and Notorious soon to take that title in winter 2009.) and I thought it'd be a decent topic for a time. It tells a summarized tale of Chess Records; focusing on Muddy Waters, Little Walter and Etta James; with minor focus on Chuck Berry and Howlin' Wolf.
I saw the film and the original music (or covers) were brilliant. Here is a quick clip:
I figure since there should be some folk, blues, soul enthusiasts here so this will have a good run as a topic.

"This recipe was acquired by myself from a friend in 1986. It is originally from Naples, Italy. Italian Rice Pie is a tradition for my family on Easter. When I was young, the week prior to Easter was one full of activity in the kitchen. My mother and her sisters would prepare all the food in advance which was then laid out on the table Saturday morning. The local parish priest would come and bless the food for all to enjoy on Easter Sunday after mass!" - by Star Pooley
Adjust Servings
Original recipe yields 1 - 9 1/2 x 13 1/2 inch pan
- Beat eggs in very large bowl. Add sugar, mixing well. Stir in cheese and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add heavy cream and stir. Fold in cooked rice and crushed pineapple.

(still great) The ingredients in this pie all blend together wonderfu..." See morelly for a tasty, not overly sweet yet filling dessert. I suggest a splash or two of heavy cream over this pie. It's great cold as well as slightly warmed."

Published November 1, 2006. From Cook's Illustrated.
To return this chicken stew recipe to its roots and to simplify it so we could serve it after only 90 minutes, we chose boneless thighs that became fall-apart tender in 25 minutes. To compensate for the flavor that was lost because of the shortened cooking time, we added chicken broth to wine and reduced this liquid before adding it to the stew. While the wine-broth mixture was simmering, we browned the meat and vegetables (onions and mushrooms) together, adding minced garlic, tomato paste, and crisped bacon to give our coq au vin recipe full flavor.
A medium-bodied, fruity red wine such as Pinot Noir or Rhône Valley Grenache is best for this recipe. Avoid bold, heavily oaked red wine varietals like Cabernet and light-bodied wines like Beaujolais. To use fresh pearl onions, trim the root and stem end of each onion and discard. Boil for 1 minute, shock in ice water, then peel a thin strip from root to stem. Remove any remaining outer skin (it's like peeling off a jacket). If neither frozen nor fresh pearl onions are available, substitute one large onion cut into 1/2-inch pieces. (Do not use jarred pearl onions, which will turn mushy and disintegrate into the sauce.) Serve the stew with egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

The June #globalclassroom Twitter chats were a lively affair this month, with some wonderful discussions about ways teachers and schools can "Build Partnerships with Schools in Developing Countries".
As Clive Elsmore (@clivesir), who suggested this month's topic, comments:
I attended the first two of the chats and have read through the transcript of the third. I'm heartened to witness the considerable efforts educators are going to to connect with their global family.Interesting ideas on how to make those connections and examples of collaborative low-tech projects were shared and it's well worth reading the archives for a spot of inspiration.
And also read them to find good people to follow!
We were also pretty happy to see the #globalclassroom chats trending in our wider Australian networks for the very first time! It seems these chats are finally becoming of age.
The archives are now available on the official chats wiki: http://theglobalclassroomchats.wikispaces.com.
We hope you will take the time to read through, and share your thoughts in the comments below!

I am a teacher of Joy standard school, Kumasi , Ghana.
I am interested and would be happy if my school is added to the global partnersips.
What do I do to be part of the program?
James k. Ackon
Hi James!
We would LOVE to collaborate with your school.
The way the #globalclassroom community works is we provide the spaces for teachers like yourself to interact and collaborate with other teachers around the world. We can't guarantee that you will be able to form a partnership immediately, BUT the relationships and friendships our teachers are forming WILL have long-term benefits. - which may lead to more formal school partnerships at some point.
If you'd like to join and contribute to our spaces, can you please email me at globalclassroomorganisers AT gmail.com ? I'd particularly recommend joining our Skype IM and Facebook groups for starters.

What is market transparency?
"Market transparency" has to do with the amount of information about the market that is available to market participants. Broadly speaking, "market transparency" can be broken down into two categories:
- pre-trade transparency - refers to information about the prices at which trades can be executed- i.e. the bid and offer prices and sizes (also known as volumes) in which market participants are willing to trade. Pre-trade prices can be indicative or firm.
- post-trade transparency - refers to information about the prices and volumes of trades that have already taken place.
All markets need a certain degree of trade transparency to function effectively and efficiently. Trade transparency allows market participants to make better, informed decisions. From an academic perspective, transparency can increase the efficiency of the price discovery process, stimulate more competitively priced quotes and possibly reduce transaction costs. However, markets can suffer if there is too much trade transparency and in some cases, even reduce participation in the market. The FSA has said, "transparency should be viewed as a facilitator of market efficiency and investor protection, not an end in itself. 'Maximum' transparency is not necessarily optimal."
The amount of pre-trade and post-trade transparency available to market participants can vary significantly from market to market, both in terms of:
- the kind of information is available – there tends to be greater transparency in retail markets than in wholesale markets. Additionally, some markets such as equity markets tend to have much greater levels of both pre- and post-trade transparency than other markets such as bond markets and over the counter ("OTC") derivative markets.
- how frequently it is made available - information can be made available on a real-time basis (i.e. it updates as dealing interest changes) or it can be made available on a delayed basis (i.e. some time after the trade has been executed).
For more information on why levels of market transparency vary in different markets, an explanation of the working of OTC markets and regulatory assessments of bond market transparency see additional pages in this section.
ICMA's initiatives on transparency for retail investors and empirical research into bond market transparency can also be found in this section

Wisconsin Business Briefs: Johnson Bank of Racine back to making money again
Wisconsin Business-- Wisconsin's second-largest home-owned bank is profitable again. And federal regulators say the Johnson Bank of Racine no longer needs special government scrutiny.
RACINE - Wisconsin's second-largest home-owned bank is profitable again. And federal regulators say the Johnson Bank of Racine no longer needs special government scrutiny.
The bank saw its capital funding went down due to bad loans during the Great Recession. Since then, Johnson Bank obtained new leaders. And the Racine family that owns S.C. Johnson invested $235-million to restore the bank's federal status of being well-capitalized. The government said Johnson Bank had a net income of $15-million from January through September. Johnson Financial Group president Tom Bolger said the bank has made good progress in returning to profitability – and the ending of the scrutiny means that regulators are again confident that Johnson Bank has a strong financial position. The bank was under a federal agreement since May of last year to take a number of steps to strengthen the business.
A former assistant manager for Park Bank will have to find a new career. Lance Bauer has been permanently barred from any future work in the banking industry. He would have to get approval from regulators before he could return. Bauer was convicted last year of embezzling nearly $230,000 from a customer's account. A federal prosecutor said most of the money was used to support a drug habit, though he also bought a luxury car. Bauer was sentenced to two and a half years in prison, probation and was ordered to pay restitution.

The Bubble Boy's Concession
Posted by John Pseudonymous
My son has discovered the joy of blowing bubbles. Not the sudsy kind that can be purchased at the store that are equipped with plastic wands. His bubbles are homemade, mouth-crafted from his own bodily fluids, including saliva and spit-up, as well as fluids intended to become bodily, such as breast milk, formula, and baby food. It doesn't matter what he's doing–eating, playing, fighting crime–he's always perfecting his new hobby.
He employs two methods in bubble creation. His first, preferred technique is by sustaining the "TH" sound, partially sticking his tongue out just underneath his forthcoming top row of teeth, allowing bubbles to emanate from either side of his mouth. The second strategy involves vocalizing the "hard C" or "K" sound and holding it, creating a sort of artificial static white noise usually incorporated in the use of imaginary walkie talkies.
Whichever method he employs, he is growing in both enthusiasm and proficiency daily, making him a veritable sprinkler. Most of the time this is incredibly adorable, as he sports a proud, accomplished grin at demonstrating such bodily control. However, this new talent can be cumbersome when attempting to feed him.
He's hard enough to feed as it is. At 6 months old, he is highly distractible while eating. Books I do not have time to read suggest that many babies at this age have newly-acquired 20/20 vision and are thus becoming increasingly aware of their surroundings, which can be infinitely more exciting than eating, their first love. This newfound awareness does not seem to faze our daughter, though. Despite these biological developments she is a focused eater, eyes on the prize the whole time. She'll chug an entire bottle without once coming up for air and is always ready for each new bite of baby food, oatmeal, rice cereal, or whatever else we've prepared.
In stark contrast, I'd estimate my son's feedings to average 1 1/2 times to twice the length of his sister's.
At mealtime, his attention is everywhere except the intended ingestion–the pictures on the wall, the pattern on Daddy's shirt, the swirly shape of our pole lamp's energy-conserving bulb, the toy I've given his sister to occupy her since she finished eating 20 minutes ago, etc. While drinking a bottle, teething has even prompted him to nipple-gnaw instead of drinking through it.
And then, of course, there's the Spoon Games. One of his favorites involves putting his head down so his chin is virtually attached to his chest, making for a less-than-ideal spoon delivery. Another is when the spoon comes his way, in the time-honored tradition of pretending it is an airplane, he denies the plane in what we have dubbed the King-Kong-F*ck-You Swipe, rendering the plane useless as its engine fuel splatters the floor. Luckily, our dog waits patiently for this occurrence and is an excellent cleanup crew.
I'm sure you can imagine what bubble blowing had contributed to this repertoire, particularly as food is often sent back to the chef in an aerodynamic manner. I have removed puree'd peas from my eyes on several occasions.
Regrettably, in frustration, I recently I caught myself uttering a phrase I hoped never to utter to my kids, particularly because they're twins and will always compete for our approval: "Why can't you be more like your sister? Look how fast she eats, Buddy!"
Totally my bad, but trust me, 20 minutes of desperately trying to get him to eat even half of his food seems way longer than it actually is.
At the same time, the battlefield that is feeding my son recently provided the setting for what may be my favorite father-son moment to date.
The meal was carrots and green beans. Having seen the stains the carrots leave on some of our baby spoons, I looked down in horror at my off-white $40 Paul McCartney Tour t-shirt. He smirked at me from his high chair, as if petting a supervillain cat in his lap.
"Be right back, Buddy."
Once I slipped into something more ruin-able, a bell sounded, signaling the beginning of Round 1. Luckily, King Kong was tame today, and he actually started out cooperatively. After a few successful spoonfuls, however, as the plane approached the hangar, I saw him winding up. His tongue partially protruded, the "TH" blowing technique was imminent, and would be unleashed the moment food hit baby mouth. I found myself in a game of "chicken" with my 6-month-old.
Then, a half-inch from impact, I pulled the spoon back, saying, "Oh, no you don't. I know exactly what you're doing."
Shocked, he stared wide-eyed for a split second, and then just started dying laughing. But there was something special about this gigglefest, and it's a moment I will remember for the rest of my life because it was my first real intellectual interaction with my son. I could tell he knew that I knew he was about to blow green beans and carrots all over me, and he recognized that Daddy was on to him–that I was a formidable opponent.
It blew me away. We had connected and communicated on a higher level than greetings, tickling, or wanting to be held. This was an intellectual, joking moment between the two of us. My son was being a smartass, just like his Dad.
Arriving at this realization, paired, of course, with the contagiousness of baby laughter itself, I had no choice but to join him. We giggled at each other as chunks of carrots ran down his chin and he gleefully slapped his high chair tray.
Once the laughing fit was over and he acknowledged me as the Undisputed Champion of Bubble-Blowing Prevention, the remainder of the meal went off without a hitch.
This, along with the recent arrival of tiny teeth, admittedly makes me a little sad, as the initial "baby" months are really starting to fade away. At the same time, though, I'm elated to see my son becoming the sharp little man he seems to be turning into. I have a feeling he and I will riff with each other for years to come, much to the annoyance of the females in our household.
I can't wait.

Six Sigma Parenting Tip #1: Snack While Peeing
Posted by John Pseudonymous
Six Sigma is a process in business management that strives to find the most efficient method for performing tasks, supported by thorough analysis and statistical findings. While it is said to work phenomenally in the business realm, I believe such critical task analysis can be just as helpful at home–after all, it's my place of business.
As a stay-at-home parent of twins, I need to be efficient. Any way that I can streamline what I do literally makes things twice as easy and keeps me from enduring a meltdown duet, and I'm always searching for thrilling new ninja skills to apply on the domestic battlefield.
For the duration of my husbandly homemaking career, I have kept my methods under wraps, locked away in a heavily-guarded location that makes the Disney Vault look as secure as a wallet shoved all the way into the toe of a shoe on the beach. However, I have been given security clearance from the U. S. Department of Defense to share these secrets with you, as long as I do so gradually, in brief installments.
On that note, here is the first.
Six Sigma Parenting Tip #1: Snack While Peeing
Those of you Loyal Readers who are parents know that while caring for young children, a trip to the bathroom becomes less casual, leisurely, and spontaneous than in your distant past life. This is because using the facilities means putting yourself in a state where you cannot necessarily immediately respond to any urgent child matter at hand, particularly while mid-stream.
Thus, affording oneself an excretion opportunity typically involves the placing of children in cribs, Exersaucers, various harnessed baby furniture items, or simply bringing the child(ren) on a field trip to see Where the Magic Happens. It also often ends with a panicked flush and rushed hand-cleansing over a lavish score of screeches and whines, as the thirty seconds or so you've attempted to acquire for yourself are simply too long for your little ones to endure.
Another once-leisurely pastime that becomes a breakneck parenting dash is eating. Gone are the days of actually sitting down at a human-style table, imbibing your meal without interruption, especially during breakfast and lunch when you're a trophy spouse like myself. Given the narrow window of both Twinfants being moderately distracted or even–*GASP*–asleep at the same time, it's go time. I'm suddenly in college again, seeking out the food item with the smallest from-deciding-to-eat-it-to-putting-it-into-my-mouth time, and I can almost hear my fraternity brothers chanting "Chug! Chug! Chug!" as I perform near-kamikaze hydration.
Since these two necessary-to-life processes–eating and excreting–can become such hindrances to maintaining sweet radio silence from your babies, why not combine them?
Before you get all grossed out, just think about it.
If you're already going to the bathroom, you've secured your children, and possibly any well-meaning canines that love to swallow baby socks, not because they taste good, but because it gains the ever-waning attention of their master. With your household dependents on lockdown, you plan on being occupied for a good 30 to 60 seconds anyway, so you might as well pick out a quick snack from the pantry.
I suggest granola bars. Not only are they scrumptious–they also take just about as long to eat as it does to exit bodily fluids.
NOTE: This Six Sigma Parenting Tip is designed exclusively for Waste Type #1 bathroom trips. I fully and literally subscribe to the folk notion of "not sh!tting where one eats," so if you will be depositing a twosie, Twinfamy does NOT condone eating during the extraction. That's just gross. (If this whole idea still makes your skin crawl, I've accounted for that, too. Check out Version 3 below.)
Depending on your personal preference/microbial outlook, I am providing procedures for three versions of this genius multitasking innovation.
Version 1: The Classic
Once you're in the bathroom, assume your gender-fueled position. Whatever equipment you're packing, you're sure to have a free hand that you probably haven't even used to touch anything that would make it too dirty to eat with. Use this hand to feed yourself.
Version 2: The Chug
If it is thirst-quenching you seek, this slight variation of The Classic involves any bottled beverage of your choosing (water, sports drinks, malt liquor, etc.). Simply position yourself, place the bottle in your mouth, and bottoms up. I recommend bottled versus open-lidded beverages as their narrow openings provide spill-free mouth delivery while taking care of business. This is an excellent way to stay hydrated, as you are replenishing liquids leaving your body.
Version 3: The Germaphobe
If it disgusts you to eat while performing this act, fear not! You can still rock this tip with a slight variation. Take your snack with you to the bathroom and complete all bathroom-oriented tasks first.
Then, on your way back, linger just outside the bathroom door, out of your loinfruits' eyeshot, and chow down. In fact, if they are quiet and happy, I suggest hiding here until they are not, as it may be your only free moment of the day. If you bring your smartphone, you can even read Twinfamy from e-cover to e-cover.
Sure, you may hear the natives getting restless during any of these processes, but you, my friend, have killed two birds with one stone.
And that makes you a Six Sigma Parent.

This is a pretty slack piece of editorial: from saying that the passage of time has done nothing to diminish the magnifience of the building and then mentioning the £40m renovation (I get the point, it's magnificent, but still...), to referring to 'St John's Cathedral', to the bewildering 'the Golden Gallery with its giddying views come here to orient yourself for sightseeing'...

Apologies for the bad blogging, things have sort of settled down, and at last I've started writing again (draft 4 of the Urban Fantasy), which means I probably won't be blog hopping much either. I'll try, but the writing comes first (I've still got the synopsis to put together- oy). So here's my list
1)Industrial Magic by Kelley Armstrong (I've already read Bitten, Broken,Stolen, and Personal Demon- now I'd like to read them...in order).
2) Dangerous Games by Keri Arthur- now all I need to do is get a copy of book 6 and I'll be set.
3) Witch Blood by Anya Bast- I have it, I haven't read it yet, I'm sure I'll enjoy it when I do, and then I can read...
4) Witch Heart by Anya Bast
5) Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs
6) Accidental Human by Dakota Cassidy
7) Undead and Unwelcome by MaryJanice Davidson (okay, I'm not exactly sure where I am in the series, but wouldn't mind rereading).
8) Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris- I'm better about getting the books than watching the tv series- can never remember when it's on- or to remind myself that it is on.
9) The Outlaw Demon Wails by Kim Harrison- I know I need to catch up, so I can read...
10) White Witch, Black Curse by Kim Harrison
11) Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead- this is her YA series and very interesting.
12) Succubus Dreams also by Richelle Mead
13) Pride by Rachel Vincent
Happy TT everyone. I'll try to post at least once a week to let you all know I haven't been abducted by aliens (and my change of address if I do).

» Tuesday, January 15 2013 |
There are two contracts the Magic would love to package in with any deal they make and that's Glen Davis and Hedo Turkoglu. Neither is overly attractive, but one or both could be the cost of doing business, especially for a team that wants Reddick or a team that wants to use Orlando's TPE to facilitate a bigger deal. HoopsWorld |
» Friday, January 11 2013 |
Hedo Turkoglu won't play when the Orlando Magic face the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday and could be out of action for an extended period to give his troublesome left hand and his conditioning time to improve. "I talked about at the beginning of the year and when guys were hurt that I always want to put them back on the floor when they're comfortable and confident and have rhythm," Jacque Vaughn said Friday afternoon. "I just think it's best for us to take that approach with Turk until he gets right. I did it with other guys, and I think it's just best for us to take that approach, and he deserves that approach." Orlando Sentinel |
» Monday, December 24 2012 |
Hedo Turkoglu on Sunday continued his rehabilitation regimen from breaking his left hand Nov. 2 and undergoing surgery Nov. 3. Turkoglu worked out in the Magic's weight room at Amway Center and shot baskets afterward. Vaughn would not say when he expects Turkoglu to return to game action. But Turkoglu ostensibly will need at least one practice before he plays in a game, and so far, he hasn't practiced yet with his teammates. Orlando Sentinel |

SLAM: Who's the funniest guy in the locker room? NV: Umm, I think probably Hedo Turkoglu. He always jokes around and makes fun of people a little bit. He's funny. Jameer Nelson, he's funny. Glen Davis. We have a pretty good team chemistry, where we always joke around and do stuff together. It's a pretty good job, to play for this team. SLAM |

John Denton: #Magic SF Hedo Turkoglu had an X-ray today that revealed a loose screw in broken hand. Cast put back on hand and timetable pushed back. Twitter John Denton: #Magic Turk:"They put the cast back on for it to be more stable. I'm upset cause I hoped to come back sooner. Hopefully it won't take long." Twitter A doctor's check-up that Hedo Turkoglu hoped would lead him one step closer to returning for the Orlando Magic turned sour on Wednesday and the veteran small forward could be out of action another month. When doctors determined that one of the screws in Turkoglu's surgically repaired left hand had loosened, his hand, fingers and arm were put back into a cast and his timetable for returning for the Magic was adjusted. Turkoglu broke the fifth metacarpal in his left hand in the season-opener on Nov. 2 and a day later he had surgery to implant a metal plate and several screws to help the broken bone heal. The hope was that Turkoglu would be able to return after a four-week period or the equivalent of 14 games for the Magic. NBA.com |
» Saturday, November 3 2012 |
Hedo Turkoglu will miss at least four weeks after he underwent surgery this morning to repair a broken bone in his left hand, Orlando Magic officials said. The veteran small forward fractured the fifth metacarpal during the third quarter of the team's season-opener Friday night. Orlando Sentinel Josh Robbins: Hedo Turkoglu has a broken left hand, #Magic officials just announced. Twitter @JoshuaBRobbins |

The kicker would seem to complicate trade scenarios involving Lopez. For example if he is traded at a point where he's still owed $40 million, the acquiring team would have to pay him $6 million upfront. As Mark Deeks explains in ShamSports, writes, a trade kicker "can only be bothersome to teams and emphatically benefit a player." Deeks also notes that Hedo Turkoglu's contract also contains a "trade kicker" of 15%, complicated his inclusion in any deal. NetsDaily |

Kupchak met with new Orlando General Manager Rob Hennigan on Tuesday in Las Vegas, but it was termed more of a get-acquainted meeting. After all, Kupchak talked with Hennigan the previous day . . . and the day before that . . . and . . . hasn't everybody heard this all before? Orlando wants any trade partner to absorb more players than just Howard, but the Lakers have no interest in also acquiring forward Hedo Turkoglu, 33, who has two more years and a weighty $23.8 million on his contract. Los Angeles Times |

Alex Kennedy: The Houston Rockets' official Twitter account just followed Hedo Turkoglu too. They're trolling us, right? Twitter |

Bogdan Tanjevic, who has decided to come back and coach the national team in the Qualification Round, may be missing more than just the veteran guards. There is also the possibility that 33-year-old Hedo Turkoglu may not play. There is speculation in the Turkish media that Turkoglu will not be with the team in the Qualification Round, although the country's basketball federation has not ruled him out. FIBA Europe |

"If I was given all the same circumstances, and again no foresight as to what the outcome was, I still think I'd make the same deal. So am I sorry or do I regret doing it after the fact? Yeah. But you can never operate with that foresight, you can prepare and you have as much information and you put that information into the equation and you try to decide what that outcome might be but that outcome has to play itself out. And in this business, there are so many variables that are a factor." Toronto Star |

Bay Area police are on call, awaiting the outcome of the trial of a BART officer charged in the death of an unarmed Oakland man. The verdict is expected to come at 9 a.m., Wednesday, July 7. Local law enforcement agencies are said to be available to help Oakland police in the event that racial tensions could lead to violence and rioting following the jury verdict.

I totally don�t understand people destroying their own neighborhoods, rioting, and committing more violence just because they don�t agree with something! A life is gone, isn�t that bad enough? Why make it worse?
Posted by Make that Two, a resident of the Danville neighborhood, on Jul 8, 2010 at 6:37 pm
Don't forget an innocent Johannes Mehserle man's life has also been ruined. A BART officer does the best he can to maintain order and safety on the BART system, only to have it ruined by some hoodlum resisting arrest on New Year's eve. Oakland attorney John Burris was only interested in the criminal trial to ruin some man's life bolstering his pending civil suits against BART, which will now surely bring in the big, big dollars.
Posted by Colorblind, a resident of the Danville neighborhood, on Jul 8, 2010 at 7:48 pm
Mehserle verdict fair? Read this similar Madera Police Department incident, not only was the assailant in the backseat of the patrol car, but handcuffed, unlike Oscar Grant III. Officer mistook .40 caliber Glock handgun for Taser. No formal charges were filed, ruled accident, no criminal neglegence.

The Chief of Staff of the Army asked his Sergeant Major, who was both Ranger and Special Forces qualified, which organization he would recommend to form a new anti-terrorist unit. The Sergeant Major responded to the General's question with this parable: If there were a hijacked Boeing 747 being held by terrorists along with its passengers and crew and an anti-terrorist unit formed either by the Rangers or the Special Forces was given a Rescue/Recovery Mission; what would you expect to happen?
Ranger Option
Forces/Equipment Committed: If the Rangers went in, they would send a Ranger company of 120 men with standard army issue equipment.
Mission Preparation: The Ranger Company First Sergeant would conduct a Hair Cut and Boots Inspection, while the officers consulted SOPs and held sand table exercises.
Infiltration Technique: They would insist on double timing, in company formation, wearing their combat equipment, and singing cadence all the way to the site of the hijacked aircraft.
Actions in the Objective Area: Once they arrived, the Ranger company would establish their ORP, put out security elements, conduct a leaders recon, reapply their camouflage, and conduct final preparations for Actions on the OBJ.
Results of Operation: The Rescue/Recovery Operation would be completed within one hour; all of the terrorists and most of the passengers would have been killed, the Rangers would have sustained light casualties and the 747 would be worthless to anyone except a scrap dealer.
Special Forces Option
Forces/Equipment Committed: If Special Forces went in, they would send only a 12 man team (all SF units are divisible by 12 for some arcane historical reason) however, due to the exotic nature of their equipment the SF Team would cost the same amount to deploy as the Ranger Company.
Mission Preparation: The SF Team Sergeant would request relaxe

You'll make a new machine-sewn project each week that you can take home and show off to your family and friends. If this is your first time sewing, we'll start you off with some great beginner projects. And if you've been sewing for a while, we'll challenge and develop your skills. Our Kids After School program (ages 8-13+) includes all of your fabric and supplies, and is catered to you and your skills so that you can sign up for the program again and again. You're on your way to sewing super-stardom!

There were wonderful memories made at The Sewing Studio for Skyler and Bia that you could never buy and that they will never forget. Not to mention all they learned and the amazing projects they came home with. What a sense of accomplishment and pride for them." — Sunnie
