This Wednesday, Pennsylvania's Legislative Reapportionment Commission will meet in an effort to sort out what has become the state's messiest redistricting battle to date. Former Philly City Councilman Angel Ortiz, along with bus-loads of Latino voters from Philly, Allentown and Reading, will be there — in an effort to forestall what they call the potential disenfranchisement of 700,000 Latino Pennsylvanians.
Primaries in Pennsylvania, for races including the Republican Presidential nomination and seats in the state's General Assembly, are set for April 24. So when the state Supreme Court threw out proposed new legislative districts (designed to accommodate population changes documented in the 2010 Census, including 46 percent growth in the Latino community), the court suggested going back to 2001 voting districts for expediency's sake. Ortiz, who pushed hard for more Latino-friendly districts, says that's just not fair. The new redistricting maps, says Ortiz, could have carved out four or more seats for Latino representatives, including two in Philly, one in Reading and one in Allentown. "Because some interests in this state want to maintain their political bases, 700,000 Latino residents will not have representation," he argues.
Ortiz wants to delay the primary to allow time for the drawing if new maps. If it means having multiple primaries — as is happening in New York — so be it: "The voting rights of people take precedence." However, Mayor Nutter and others are pushing to set special elections soon for six currently empty seats, further adding pressure to keep 2001 lines (and, thereby, the April 24 date) in place.
Illegal immigrants are flooding your doorsteps with mail!
Today's Stu Bykofsky column in the Daily News is not only mean-spirited but contains a number of glaring factual errors. The entirely speculative premise of his column is that a guy in South Philly gets a lot of mail at his house addressed to other people who have Hispanic surnames. While this may seem like a small annoyance best resolved via the recycling bin, Bykofsky boldly conveys the suggestion that the government might place a lien on this guy's house because undocumented immigrants are tax dodgers not paying their fair share for the public benefits they greedily consume.
"He's frustrated and afraid that he may somehow get entangled in this, worried that he may open the mail to find a lien against his property."
"As The Philadelphia Inquirer, Daily News and philly.com have gone up for sale once again, we watched with dismay as our own coverage of the process was compromised and censored," according to a newsroom petition that began circulating last night. "Our employers promise this won't happen again. That must be the case."
The last two weeks have been a harrowing ride for Inquirer and Daily News reporters — and a half-blind one for readers.
Philadelphia Media Network (PMN) is in negotiations with a group led by former mayor and governor Ed Rendell, South Jersey Democratic Party boss George Norcross and Flyers owner Ed Snider. The prospect of such powerful owners has reporters worried about editorial independence — especially after top management censored a Feb. 7 blog post by the Daily News' David Gambacorta reporting that mega-developer Bart Blatstein had formed a rival group intending to bid on PMN.
On January 14, the state liquor store at 40th and Market was abruptly shut down thanks to safety concerns about the apparently decrepit building. As a result, displaced customers have flooded into the store at 4906 Baltimore Avenue, prompting crazy long waits at a two-cash-register store that already (anecdotally appeared to) have some of the longest lines of any liquor store in the city.
"We are in the process of securing a new location," says Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) Director of External Affairs Stacey Witalec, a process she says will take between six and eight months.
In the meantime, however, the state agency that runs Pennsylvania wine and liquor stores has no plans to do anything at all to ameliorate the situation at 49th and Baltimore Avenue. And the situation is truly dire―or at least dire as booze-related situations get.
On Friday, January 27 employees turned away this reporter's mother, visiting from out of town, saying that she would have to wait outside because the store was so packed. Unfavorable comparisons to the Soviet Union were later made.
The legislature is moving to pass the orwellianly titled "Women's Right to Know Act," which would, as my editor Samantha Melamed notes, "require ultrasounds before abortions and then give women 'the right' to look at them."
Doctors would also be required to invite women to listen to the fetal heartbeat.
"Ultrasounds," says bill sponsor State Rep. Kathy Rapp, "dispel the myth that abortion is only about removing a 'clump of cells' and that information in itself is absolutely critical to every mother's ability to make a fully informed decision."

Bridgeman's View Tower, 900 N. Delaware Ave.: Dead from every angle.
Here it is ... another broken dream, and a good-looking one at that. This awesome tower was set to be the impetus for a second downtown along the Northern Liberties Delaware Riverfront. Instead, we got dicked.
This Crystal Tower of Crotch-kicks was first proposed in 2006 by developers Marc F. Stein and Ryan Roberts under the name 2945 LLC. Even the NIMBYs in the Northern Liberties Neighborhood Association thought it was cool. Zoning for the parcel was changed in late 2006 and it got whole-heartedly approved in January of 2007.
Are those palm trees?
Excitement filled the air in the Philadelphia forum/blogosphere as people went nuts over this thing.... it was seen as an unstoppable development that could give rise to many more. At the time, the Northern Liberties Delaware Riverfront was swimming in a shitload of tall building proposals.
Residents in East Kensington have been eyeing the so-called Megalots, a group of intriguingly contiguous vacant lots at York and Emerald streets, for a while now. It seems like the perfect place for a park, a dog park, playing fields, residential development — in short, anything but the blight that's there today. So much so, that one local artist recently went out and installed this hopeful artistic statement, in the hopes that it might help unblight the block.
Unfortunately, Megalots is also an illustration of just how challenging Philly's vacant land issues are. Parts of the lot are already owned by the city or the Philadelphia Housing Development Corp., and parts appear to be more than 10 years in arrears on (albeit microscopic) taxes, making them ripe for tax sale. However, other parts are privately owned and all paid up, and as recently as a few years ago were being advertised as a development opportunity. And getting the already maxed-out Parks and Recreation Department to add new properties to its inventory might be a challenge.
Hopefully, this will be the type of project facilitated in the future by Councilwoman Maria Quinones-Sanchez' newly proposed Land Bank, which "will be coordinated with the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority and other City agencies directly engaged with vacant property management and blight elimination." In the meantime, we hope neighborhood guerrilla artists will keep on doing their best.
Charles Murray, a leading right-wing polemicist, has spent three decades beating up on poor black people. His new book, however, is an act of more equal opportunity opprobrium, arguing that white working class America is in crisis because it has a fucked up and backward culture. And his main example is Philadelphia's Fishtown.
Murray published summaries of Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960–2010 in the Wall Street Journal and another in the right-wing New Criterion. His argument is a mean and vicious slander against the people of Fishtown and working class people everywhere, detailing the decline of what he calls the "Founding virtues" of industriousness, honesty, marriage, and religion amongst the rabble. It's based on the Philadelphia neighborhood, but Murray uses "Fishtown" as an exemplar to generalize about white Americans with "no academic degree higher than a high school diploma...[and unemployed or working in] a blue-collar, service, or low-level white-collar occupation."
Murray complains that Fishtown residents are increasingly less moral than people in Belmont, based on the wealthy white Boston suburb full of "successful people in managerial and professional occupations―the elites who are in positions of influence over the nation's economy, media, intellectual life, and politics." Which is where Mitt Romney lives―so I suppose he offers a lesson in hypocrisy, avarice and greed, huh? But beyond Murray's poisonous politics, the biggest problem is that his argument is wrong.
This week was, if nothing else, a fascinating look at how things are working in Harrisburg these days. Tom Corbett may not have passed his pet school vouchers plan last year, but he's definitely setting the agenda when it comes to an equally important issue: treatment of the natural gas industry hungry for more access and less regulation as they look to harvest fuel from the Marcellus Shale.
He said in a statement yesterday: "After long negotiations and a lot of hard work, we have reached a consensus on how to address the impacts in the Marcellus Shale regions. I am very pleased with the cooperative spirit shown by the General Assembly and their staffs while working to resolve this complex issue. I look forward to signing this legislation into law."
So that's one side of the story. The other: secret, backroom negotiations that led to a deal with almost no input by Democrats or, for that matter, the public. Phllly-based Democrat Rep. Michael O'Brien said in a statement:
If you haven't read this week's CP cover story, by reporter Daniel Denvir, it's time you did. It's all about how our governor, Tom Corbett, is systematically dismantling our social safety nets, defunding our schools and universities and making it even more challenging for Philly's poorest to climb out of poverty. In case you need some inspiration to dive into this apocalyptic, true-life story, check out these concept sketches for the cover, by our mad genius illustrator Evan M. Lopez. For more, visit his website.
An excerpt from the cover story follows:
Under Attack
Dispatches from Tom Corbett's war on Philly.
Anthony Lomax, a 63-year-old North Philadelphian, has no teeth thanks to the state of Pennsylvania.
A survivor of prostate, kidney and rectal cancer, Lomax was diagnosed with gum disease and underwent dental surgery in the fall. He needed only partial dentures, he says, but he was informed the state would cover only complete sets. So, in preparation, he had all his teeth removed.
Last week, Lomax's dentist called with bad news: "Welfare says they can't pay for that."
That's because, among new Medicaid rules implemented by Republican Gov. Tom Corbett, was one that Lomax, who had gotten dentures before, had never heard of: a limit of one pair of dentures per lifetime, per beneficiary. Lomax, retired from working in the copy room at a Center City architectural firm, can only hope his new dentures will be covered on appeal. In the meantime, eating is a challenge.
Lomax is far from alone. City Paper has learned that cuts implemented under Corbett have had a far deeper impact on almost every service the state provides to Philadelphians — including education; health care for the poor and disabled; welfare; food stamps; and support services for victims of domestic violence, the disabled and the homeless — than has previously been reported. It's all part of the ideologically driven agenda Corbett outlined in his campaign, and he has delivered: slashing expenditures with little apparent regard for the plight of the poor, or for Philadelphia's threadbare safety nets and crumbling school system.
More pain is on the way. On Tuesday, Corbett proposed a new budget for the fiscal year that begins on July 1, 2012: a 30 percent cut to publicly supported universities like Temple, a 20 percent cut to a set of safety-net programs — and no new taxes. The City of Philadelphia will receive an estimated $42 million in cuts to public welfare programs, many of which are being consolidated into a new and perplexing block-grant program.
"The cuts the governor has proposed for the Department of Public Welfare (DPW) are extreme, targeted and painful," says Donald Schwarz, Philadelphia's Deputy Mayor for Health and Opportunity. "Philadelphia will do all it can to blunt these effects, but given the city's fiscal situation and the magnitude of the estimated cuts ... there's not much we can do." Read on here.

BBO Javelin
I have a 69 BBO 390, 4-speed, has the roof spoiler. Whats the difference between a Go-Pacv and Mod Pack.
Thanks -
maasfh wrote:I have a 69 BBO 390, 4-speed, has the roof spoiler. Whats the difference between a Go-Pacv and Mod Pack.
Does the BBO stand for Big Bad Orange? Besides the three Big Bad colors Green, Orange and Blue, the bumpers were painted body color. The Big Bad package inclueded heavy duty cooling, suspension; limited slip differential; power front disc brakes.
I've not heard of Mod Pack. That may be a reference to "the optional dealer-installed high-performance parts(cams and kits, intake manifolds and carburetors coupled with other Group 19 items) for customizing your Javelin or AMX for fun and performance." Quote from AMAZING AMC MUSCLE by Edrie J. Marquez.
In 1980 I bought my 69 Big Bad Green AMX, automatic, from my Uncle Rex who purchased it new.
I can't remember when the last time I saw a Javelin around here. There are several AMXs running around here. Even a couple of BBG ones. But they both have black stripes and mine has white stripes.
How about telling more about your Javelin and post some pictures.

Hey, Guys.
This is Todd Ruel with Gone Autos. My web site (www.goneautos.com) is devoted to orphan cars, and there's a huge hole in my heart if I don't think about AMC at least once a day. Love that company.
In fact, I modeled the colors of my web site after the Big Bad colors. At one point, I was researching the RGB (Red/Green/Blue) color values of those colors so that I could duplicate them on the web. I'd like to share those colors with you.
Big Bad Blue: R=16, G=162, B=222 (hexadecimal value=10a2de)
Big Bad Orange: R=226, G=65, B=16 (hexidecimal value=e24110)
Big Bad Green: R=101, G=173, B=63 (hexadecimal value=65ad3f)
These colors are useful if you're working on the web or in print. (Sorry, guys. I'm not much of a car restorer, but I'm good working in the print and web worlds.)
How do I know these colors are correct? We scanned an original 1969 chip chart with a color-accurate device to obtain the values.
I know this is coming kinda out of left field, but if this helps one AMC Javelin or AMX or Rebel Machine fan show his true colors, then my work is done.
Enjoy! (And visit the web site - www.goneautos.com - to see the colors in action.)

Father's comments doomed McCoy

08:03 AM ET 05.04 | It seems Colt McCoy's status as persona non grata has been setting for some time in Cleveland, where the Browns, who had reportedly been willing to wait for him at No. 37, picked Brandon Weeden at No. 22. I've been told that McCoy's fate as a former starter was sealed when his father sounded off about the club's handling of his concussion in the Pittsburgh game on Dec. 8. I was told at the time that Brad McCoy's comments meant the end of McCoy in Cleveland, but I didn't believe it then. The comments did not drive the pursuit of a new quarterback, but I believe they contributed to McCoy's demise.

If that's true then I feall sorry for Brown fans. This team has no direction and if they decide their most important position because of what a parent said, then there is no hope for them.
Just to be clear. Is being doomed in Cleveland a bad thing?

+1 excellent first post
The league better hope they didn't mess up handling the concussion. The list of players suing the league related to concussions is growing and they probably would be happy to talk to McCoy's father.
Doesn't say much for that franchise!
Even if you are right(ha-ha)!
Welp this article pretty much proves that the Browns are the most dysfunctional team in the NFL right now. Way to go!

I heard the phone call went something like this:
Colts Father: Hello?
Holmgren: Hi this is the Big Show, is Colt there?
Father: I thought I told you to never call here again! Colt doesn't want to talk to you.
Big Show: But we just wanted to apologize for keeping him in the game after he said he was ok.
(Colt yelling in the back ground "Dad please hand me the phone I want to talk to Mike")
Father: I'M DOING THIS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD COLT! Mike, I am afraid that Colt doesn't accept your apology.
(Colt still yelling in the back ground "DAD HANG UP THE PHONE BEFORE YOU GET ME FIRED!!!"
Father: THEY ARE NOT GOING TO REPLACE YOU COLT, LET ME HANDLE THIS!!! Mike, I don't want you to call here anymore. My son is very upset with you and doesn't accept your apology.
(Colt now furiously reaching for the phone "YES I DO ACCEPT THE APOLOGY, YES I DO!"
Father: Colt I said let me handle this. Now Mike, do you understand that we don't want you calling here anymore?
Big Show: Yeah I would like a large pepperoni, large mushroom and some of those cheesy bread things.
Father: Mike who are you talking to?
Big Show: Oh i'm sorry I was on the other line with Domino's, Is Colt home?

A wrecker winches a tractor trailer at the Northway ramp from the state Thruway on Wednesday in Albany. At 10:30 a.m. the truck driver tried unsuccessfully to head from Exit 24 of the state Thruway up the snow-covered northbound ramp onto the Northway. The East Penn Manufacuturing truck, fully laden with car batteries, slid down an embankment, taking out over 30 feet of guiderail and dumping 150 gallons of diesel fuel into the median between the ramp and I-90. The fuel spilled from the damaged saddle fuel tanks, but the truck managed to stay upright. Driver Steven Yenik, 38, of Whitehall, Pa., was ticketed on a charge of imprudent speed by Trooper Jason Meyer. The state Department of Environmental Conservation supervised cleanup, done by Clean Harbor. (John Carl D'Annibale / Times Union)

Five Australians killed in Afghanistan
Australia suffered its worst combat losses since the Vietnam War when five troops were killed in Afghanistan, officials said today, prompting prime minister Julia Gillard to return home early from a regional Pacific leaders' conference.
Officials from the Australian Defence Force and the Nato-led coalition said three Australians had been killed in southern Afghanistan yesterday by an Afghan wearing a soldier's uniform, bringing to 45 the number of Nato-led coalition troops killed in rogue shootings this year.
Australian officials later announced another two troops had died in a helicopter crash in the south today.
"This is news so truly shocking that it's going to feel for many Australians like a physical blow," an emotional Ms Gillard told reporters in the Cook Islands, where she was attending a forum of Pacific islands leaders.
Ms Gillard said she would cut short her visit and return to Australia later today for briefings on the deaths.
US secretary of state Hillary Clinton is due to lead a US government team to the 16-member forum from tomorrow.
The alarming rise in the number of rogue shootings and other attacks has increased pressure on coalition members to fast-track withdrawal plans.
Under the current timetable, most foreign combat troops are due to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014, handing security responsibility to their Afghan counterparts.
Opinion polls in Australia say Australians overwhelmingly want their troops out of Afghanistan, although Ms Gillard ruled out any early exit.
"We are there for a purpose and we will see that purpose through," Ms Gillard said.
Australia's neighbour New Zealand said last week it would accelerate the withdrawal of its troops after three more were killed by a roadside bomb.
Australian and Afghan forces are hunting for a man in an Afghan army uniform who shot and killed the three Australian soldiers at a patrol base in Uruzgan province, where around 1,500 Australian troops are based.
Fifteen coalition troops have been killed in similar incidents this month alone.
Australian defence force air marshal Mark Binskin told reporters in Canberra the gunman used an automatic weapon at close range.
Mr Binskin said the other two Australians, both special forces soldiers, were killed when their helicopter was attempting to land during an operation in neighbouring Helmand province.
He said there was no sign the accident was caused by enemy action but refused to give further details.
The deaths marked Australia's worst day in the war in Afghanistan, which it joined in late 2001. A total of 38 Australian troops have been killed there since the war began.
Nato-led forces have increased security to try to counter the increase in insider shootings, including requiring soldiers to carry loaded weapons at all times on bases.
US joint chiefs of staff chairman Martin Dempsey visited Kabul last week to discuss the worrying increase in rogue shootings. US president Barack Obama also expressed his "deep concern" over the insider attacks.
The Taliban have claimed responsibility for many of the incidents as evidence of their ability to infiltrate Afghan security forces, raising worrying questions about the readiness of Afghan forces to take over.
Afghanistan's government said last week it would re-examine the files of 350,000 soldiers and police to help curb rogue shootings of Nato personnel.

No part of evolution violates any part of thermodynamics.
May13-12, 10:32 AM | #5 |
If you look for a closed system, you have to take at least the whole solar system (and find some way to "catch" outgoing radiation). Within the solar system, there is a huge entropy exchange between earth, sun and space.
Without closed systems: the sun provides a (nearly) endless supply of high-energy, low-entropy radiation (visible light), while the earth emits a lot of low-energy, high-entropy radiation (infrared). |

Why do you think evolution might not be feasible thermodynamically?
May13-12, 05:19 PM | #8 |
To take an example, imagine seeds falling from a plant. They go everywhere, at random, but a select few find fertile soil to grow in. The vast majority do not, however. Later, you see small plants growing from the fertile spots-- do you think "wow, someone must have carefully selected those spots to plant the seeds, I wonder how they know those spots would be fertile?" No, that would be a creationist view of how seeds grow, requiring a breakdown of thermodynamics for the seeds to be specially planted. But natural selection is perfectly compatible with thermodynamics-- seeds find the fertile spots (an example of order) expressly because they also sampled all the nonfertile spots too (an example of disorder). The order arises from the disorder, that's natural selection, and that's thermodynamics. Bottom line: anyone who thinks thermodynamics favors creationism over natural selection doesn't understand thermodynamics at all. |

Entropy increases. If you look at the Wikipedia page on nuclear fusion, you can see that what starts out as four hydrogen nuclei winds up as a helium nucleus, two hydrogen nuclei, two neutrinos, two positrons, and two photons. I think you can get a feel for the fact that the products of the reaction are much more "disordered" (have a higher entropy) than the original four hydrogen nuclei.
When one of those photons travels to the earth and is absorbed by a plant leaf, another reaction occurs. In very simple terms, the photon, the chlorophyll in the leaf, and carbon dioxide in the air react to form chlorophyll, carbon and oxygen. Again, entropy is increased, but the carbon is used by the plant to "organize" itself, creating all the carbon-based organic chemicals that it needs to live and grow. That's where the decrease in entropy happens. But if you take the entropy increases of all the reactions, nuclear and chemical, that occurred to produce that "organization", it far outweighs the entropy decrease that happens when the plant lives and grows. |
May14-12, 08:41 AM | #14 |
Note also that with the advent of molecular biology, evolution is explained by random errors in DNA copying. Actually tracking all of the entropy changes in a biological system is very hard, but the fact that evolution is emergent from random processes, many of which don't progress the species, should make it intuitively clear that it is not actually increasing order. The idea I'm trying to get at is that for every positive trait, there are many that hurt the species. The increase in order that we perceive is only due to the fact that we ignore all of the bad mutations.
May15-12, 01:36 AM | #15 |

Caffco Announces Hires, Realigns Staff
17511 Mon, 12/14/2009 - 1:17pm
MONTGOMERY, Ala.–Chad Beasley has joined Caffco as its national sales manager for the independent and specialty retail market. Most recently, Beasley served as OneCoast's southeastern regional sales manager.
Earlier this year, Caffco named Tim Matt its product development/designer. His work history includes stints with Transpac Imports, Clay Art and Pacific Rim.
In other company news, Betsy Spivey's role as national sales manager/marketing manager has been realigned to focus added attention on the firm's marketing efforts and national accounts. "In her marketing role, Betsy will work with Chad to provide programs and marketing tools to support our sales efforts with the independent retailing sector," said Lamar Thompson, Caffco's chief executive officer.
In January 2010, Caffco will open its new 5,700-square-foot showroom on the 17th floor in Building 2 of AmericasMart in Atlanta. "We believe this showroom will help Caffco get closer to our independent customers while featuring fresh, unique designs from new and existing designers," Thompson said.

Elliot Lake officials, OPP, tight-lipped about mall roof collapse
Sunday, June 24, 2012 by: Carol MartinIt's been 10 hours since a section of the roof of a busy shopping mall - the only shopping mall - in the City of Elliot Lake collapsed on its food court.
There is still very little information about the number and nature of possible injuries, deaths or individuals that may be missing, nor is there information about what may have caused the roof of the mall to collapse on a warm sunny afternoon in the small Northern Ontario town.
Across the region friends and families of 11,000 people in Elliot Lake worry about their loved ones and wonder what happened to bring down that section of the roof that also functioned as a parking area for mall patrons and employees.
An urban extraction team has been on site at the 30-year old Algo Mall since earlier this evening but there is still very little more information about the collapse of a section of the mall roof about 2 p.m. on Saturday.
"Police and special teams continue working at the scene," says an OPP update from 11:50 p.m. Saturday. "No further updates will be available until 7 a.m. June 24th, 2012."
The Heavy Urban Search and Rescue team has been deployed out of Toronto and is expected to arrive in Elliot Lake about 2 a.m. Sunday.
Meanwhile witness reports of injuries and possible deaths continue to circulate through Facebook, YouTube and other social media sites.
Also circulating through Northern Ontario's information sources are concerns that the part of the roof of the mall that collapsed had been showing signs of wear, including rusting girders that apparently broke during the collapse and an obvious slope to the rooftop parking area.
Earlier this evening, Elliot Lake's Mayor Rick Hamilton said that a gas leak had been confirmed in the area of the collapsed roof and that had prevented crews from entering the area for several hours after the collapse.
Emergency responders at the scene have primarily been engaged in securing the site, Hamilton said.
He said the urban extraction team would be better equipped and trained to enter the building and inspect the area of the collapse.
He also said four people were sent to hospital after the collapse of the roof on the mall.
There is no official word on the reports that there are people missing who may have been in the mall at the time of its collapse.

FSC Forensic Team Ends Fall Season With Big Wins in Big Apple
FSC forensic team members are, from left, Coach Chris Fenner, Shay Lessman, Tony Rivera, Krista Miller, and Jordan Stout. LAKELAND, Fla. (Nov. 20, 2008) -- The Florida Southern College forensic team returned from a double tournament at New York University with 11 wins in eight individual events and fifth- and sixth-place team sweepstake awards. Senior Jordan Stout and juniors Krista Miller, Tony Rivera, and Shay Lessman took part in the season closer over the weekend of Nov. 14, competing in 13 events against heavy hitters such as New York University, Cornell, University of Texas, Houston, and others. In the first leg of the tournament, Ms. Miller walked away with a first-place finish in "After Dinner Speaking" and a fifth-place finish in "Dramatic Duo" with her partner, Mr. Rivera. Mr. Stout placed fifth in "After Dinner Speaking" and fourth in "Programmed Oral Interpretation." "This has been a great semester for Krista," said Dr. Christopher Fenner, director of forensics and the team's coach. "After she took first place in 'Dramatic Interpretation' at the FSC tournament, I was very happy to see her take first place in another event." The team continued to perform well in the second leg of the tournament, with Mr. Rivera making strides in two events, breaking into finals with a fifth-place finish in "Informative Speaking" and fourth place in "Dramatic Duo" with Ms. Miller. Some healthy competition among team members fueled a third-place finish for Mr. Stout in "After Dinner Speaking," with Ms. Miller placing fourth in the event. Mr. Stout broke into "Programmed Oral Interpretation" again, with a sixth-place finish. Mr. Lessman turned in a consistent performance, finishing third in "Communication Analysis" in both legs of the tournament and gaining ground in "Poetry Interpretation." The New York University tournament closes the fall season for the forensic team. Next semester, FSC will be host to the Florida state championship, and students will compete at tournaments at the regional and national level. The Florida Southern forensic team was founded through a generous grant by local businessman C.C. "Doc" Dockery. For more information on intercollegiate forensics, please contact Dr. Fenner at firstname.lastname@example.com. |

Happy Friday, Everyone!
I couldn't be more excited for the weekend. Getting back in to a normal post-vacation routine is hard! My mind is still on lounging by the pool and seeing pretty new sights everyday like we did in Sicily.
Sicily was incredible. There is so much diversity on the island for things to see and do. We didn't do any research on it beforehand since we chose our hotel based on the fact that it looked to be in the middle of nowhere. We wanted to have a week of doing nothing but being lazy and not straying too far. Well…that didn't exactly happen.
It started with the two hour drive to our hotel in Ragusa from the airport in Catania. We were starving so we stopped in Syracuse for lunch and ended up coming across the most amazing swimming platform ever. We still hadn't eaten lunch and we were anxious to get to the hotel so I made a mental note of the swimming spot and moved on. The deviations from Operation Do Nothing had officially begun.

Hello everyone
I just had my interview with SJSM to hopefully start in May 2013... I just had a question about what happens when you come back to chicago (MD5) and the "free-time" we have to study for USMLE step 1.
So, we finish MD4 on the island, come to chicago for MD5/AICM and do the training program & study for step 1? You study for the exam, write it and then depending on whether you pass or fail you start clinical rotations? What's the PASS program and when does that take place?
I'm so confused. You're help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you

The ABAA Show - a mosaic of interests
It never rains in southern California. That's how the song goes and that's the way it was in Pasadena, site of the Rose Bowl Parade and the Rose Bowl two months ago and the ABAA Antiquarian Book Fair a few weeks back. The weather for the fair was gorgeous, the hotels close to the convention center, the restaurants satisfactory. The hardest thing about the trip was controlling the TV remote in my hotel room that did everything it could to deliver a paid channel when the free ones were sufficient. The Oakland Airport, in the San Francisco penumbra, offered quick and frequent Southwest non-stops to the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank that is only twenty minutes by cab to downtown Pasadena. Getting there was easy. Not buying - that was more difficult.
This year the ABAA fair moved from downtown LA into the southern California countryside, to Pasadena, a place once nearby to the entire LA metro but now made distant by the heavy traffic. Landing at Burbank trumped the driving problem by being a slim 20 minutes by taxi to the recently rebuilt Pasadena Convention Center.
The show opened to the public on Friday, February 12th at 3:00 pm. Admission for the first day with return privileges for the next two was $25. Exhibiting members were given plenty of free passes that they tried hard to give to other exhibitor's best customers. Their own best customers were much less likely to receive one. After all, who would invite their best customers into a bookseller's feeding frenzy? Nevertheless, the traffic was solid, the $25 an insufficient barrier to keep the motivated away.
The entrance was at the near corner of the exhibition site and its position fed most traffic straight down isle one along the right hand wall. Lucky exhibitors in this row would see and be seen by virtually every guest. After a while the traffic, having rounded the turn at the end of that row made its way back up row two. At the top of row two the flow naturally turned to proceed down isle three. In total there were eight isles and as you might expect progress was slow. I started at 3:00 and by 8:00 pm, when the closing bell sounded, had browsed five isles. On Saturday the fair opened at 11:00 am and I walked to the far row and worked my way back. The final three rows took three hours, my visit concluding at 2:00 pm. I then caught a taxi back to the airport and took a Southwest flight at 3:20 arriving in Oakland at 4:05 pm. Efficient.
Charles Kutcher of Kaaterskill Books
The show felt like a main street, actually an upscale neighborhood, in the world of serious books. The disappearance of the rare book shop, long a trend, has transformed the occasional book fair from an option into a necessity for both booksellers and book buyers for this is now one of the few places where the two sides can meet without the embedded expectations of an appointment. Because fairs by default are replacing open shops the book fairs also need to provide more information on and about collecting. True, the shows are organized to sell but collectors can feel the ground shifting without necessarily understanding the tectonic changes that are turning serious collecting into something far more complex than buying costume jewelry. Dealers often ask high prices and it's logical a person writing a check for $5,000 or $50,000 is going to believe, and I think expect, the price to be justified by something more than "this is the best copy I've ever handled" or "you won't see it again." Such information however potentially undermines credibility and prices and so is approached gingerly. This is after all a selling fair, not a college course.
The show in fact struck me as two separate events, one for the pro and the other for the amateur. The less serious, I suppose casual, collector would more readily accept the asking price and be taken with pristine [although not always original] appearance. The serious collector, focused on connection and appropriateness, condition, provenance and price, if asked sotto voce, might suggest a price they would pay.
I sat with a serious amateur collector for fifteen minutes while waiting for the doors to open Saturday morning. He explained that he buys for fun and satisfaction and I said most collectors begin that way but time has a way of altering perspective and he should expect to someday care if his collection has made economic sense. "You'll have more options and fun if you collect well" I told him. He said he's thinking about it and headed off, anxious to scratch his collecting itch. The challenge for him today is acquisition. For serious collectors parsing the titles while chatting up the booksellers, it's the rarity and value.
Jeff Weber of Weber Rare Books
For another dealer-collector with an eye on an appealing item the process was very different. He logged into the AED Sunday morning to see its current value and confirm its rarity. Armed with this information he then approached the dealer for a negotiation.
Yet another dealer-collector, pursuing a fresh approach to collecting, is acquiring things that fit into what he hopes will become a new category. In approaching his collecting this way he is able to acquire material less expensively. In time he'll publish a catalogue or book that new collectors may use to pursue the field he is defining.
For myself I saw several items. One, a map of the Hudson River in the 1820s, seemed exceedingly rare if also possibly unimportant. Such maps are usually hand-colored, this one uncolored. Its appeal is that Rondout at Kingston [New York] is not shown and that's consistent with the emergence of Rondout, a now forgotten place, as the exit/entrance for the Delaware & Hudson Canal to the Hudson River in the late 1820s. What's strange is that Kingston, an already important place in New York state history and soon to be the alpha to Rondout's emerging omega, is also omitted. If the mapmaker was paying any attention Kingston would have been shown - thus leaving me wondering if Rondout was also an omission, not just the last gasp of New York State mapmaking before Rondout springs to life. In any event I may be the only person on the planet who cares.
Another item, a book of engravings, was also interesting. The book has no title page and I believe was simply the binding together of various woodcut drawings of New York. If so, its probably one of a kind and the images are pristine.
A third item, in fact a category, is a new catalogue of pocket maps issued by Donald Heald. I collect material relating to the Hudson Valley and Mr. Heald typically handles exceptional examples. I'm considering two items. This catalogue and two others recently issued will reward a careful reading.
As to exceptional items I ran across that are outside my collecting scope but I think of potential interest to very serious collectors the first is a keep-sake script of King Kong that is inscribed by the director. It is both absurdly rare and the very definition of 20th century iconic. One suspects someone will climb the Empire State Building to get it. In fact, it is easier than that. L. W. Currey of Elizabethtown, New York offers it. The price is $125,000.
The other item is more expensive, a Caxton printing of the Bible in latin. This copy is rebound but is among the rarest and most desirable of early printings. It's offered by Heritage Book Shop for $1.5 million. This book lives in the same neighborhood with the Columbus Letters and Audubon Birds. Most of us will never get there but its interesting to look in the windows. In this fair three planets exerted their gravitational pull and knowledge was the invisible force. Dealers, casual and knowledgeable collectors mixed it up to great effect. For myself it was a rewarding experience, the weather was great and the flights were on time.

Adam Levine in Double Denim
Adam Levine was spotted performing on The Today Show in New York wearing a double denim look. He sported a pair of distressed jeans and a Levi's jacket. Later on in the day Adam opted for the same jacket but changed his jeans for a photo-op. Then later to perform at the VEVO Summer Sets Concert Series. It seems like Adam is a huge fan of the double denim look. We have spotted him wearing the trend a few times now. Also, are any of you readers excited to hear Maroon5′s new album?

Normally I would say double denim is a no no. But, he actually pulled it off in this look!
The jeans he is wearing are APC's

Stay-At-Home-Moms: The Comeback.
A woman I know, a lawyer with an Ivy League degree and partner-track experience at a large corporate firm, took five years off to stay home with her two children. When she decided it was time to go back, she interviewed for an in-house counsel job at a mid-sized public company. During interviews she faced skepticism from the other in-house lawyers, executives who had never taken more than a two-week vacation from work. Most voted against hiring her. One lone executive in human resources insisted the company should not hold a few years at home against this candidate in light of her excellent education and work credentials. The woman got the job and flourished in the position.
Contrast this happy ending with most stories you hear about stay-at-home moms who attempt to return to work, cautionary tales of the perils of taking time off, accomplished women sending out 100s of resumes without getting hired. I've always wondered: can the collective national workplace be so foolish as to dismiss the thousands of ambitious, hard-working, impressively educated women who decided their children should be their main priority for a few years? Our culture, rooted as it is in capitalism, values consistent hard work and individual achievement without breaks – for any reason. This explains some of the skepticism stay-at-home moms face when trying to return to work.
But I wonder whether part of the bias is explained by working mothers: maybe we want stay-at-home moms to suffer a penalty for taking time off. Moms at home are the devil on every working mother's shoulder: the women who chose their children over their jobs. Their decisions make us feel guilty about our own. Psychologically, maybe working moms seek to justify the superiority of our own, often guilt-ridden, anxiety-driven choices to continue our careers uninterrupted by disparaging stay-at-home moms for their foolish "feminine mistakes."
The recent growth of executive staffing firms like MomCorps and Flexperience Staffing specializing in placing former stay-at-home moms in permanent and project positions suggests the workplace is catching on to this segment of the talent pool. Not coincidentally, both firms were started by working mothers who know exactly how much talent lies with well-educated stay-at-home mothers looking to return to flexible paid employment.
There are approximately 83 million moms in America today. Each of us juggles modern motherhood amidst social paradox and flux. Fifty years ago women struggled to force many law schools, business schools, and medical schools to admit women; women now make up 51% of the white-collar workforce. In the last 50 years, the percent of American women staying home dropped from 76% to 28%. In the middle of this societal chaos, none of us has the today's work/kids paradigm figured out.
What's your take? Do you work with any former stay-at-home parents? Been one yourself? Do you see overt or latent prejudice against parents who take breaks from the work treadmill for kids, and then try to return? What's your bias?
This article is about both SAHM and WM. I think we all need to step back and realize that we all face the same situation regardless of when we go back to work. While you are away raising your children, the workplace doesn't remain stagnant and every mother who walks back in the door is questioned. This is true whether your hiatus lasts as long as maternity leave or until kindergarten. Unfortunately, when you are gone more than three months, ideas and technologies change quickly and new grads enter the workplace as eagerly to prove themselves as we were ten years ago. It's not a simple matter of walking back into the office and resuming where you left off. One of the new lessons I learned after maternity leave is how to be a working mom and that is all about give and take in the workplace like jeanettebee said. When I returned after my 4 months off, it was obvious that I was being watched to see how serious I was about the workplace. Face it, there are lots of career-focused women who seem to be "on-track" that come back and take it easy and whether you like it or not, the entire workplace looks at you and tries to figure out if you're just happy sitting in the cube getting paid or if you are still driven with goals for advancement. It took me almost a year to "prove" I was still as serious as I was when I took my job two years before the baby. That took working late and going on business trips that involved dry ice and the shipping of pumped milk! On the other hand, I've been very clear that my home time is now my son's and that I want comp time for weekends lost due to work and travel and that certain days I cannot be available. I also changed my schedule slightly to fit my husband's later schedule and my son's pickup time. It took that amount of time before I felt that my boss was investing in me again as an employee and challenging me and allowing me to grow and expand responsibilities. Being a working mom or a working dad requires both you and your workplace to be flexible. If that's not possible on your end, you may not be ready to go back. If that's not possible on the employer's end or in your career field, than it may be time to find a more progressive working environment or a job that will work with and not against your life an all of its demanding priorities. Balancing everyone's needs from baby to boss is tough; but, if you really want or need something badly, you and the right situation will meet.
Oh my! Am I the bearer of bad news?? First of all Stevie, I have never given anybody at dirty look in my life and especially not for going home to be with their families!
Second of all I am just saying that things have changed alot and in my buisness, I am surrounded by very young kids, who just got out of college and have no problem whatsoever staying till the project is finished, even if that means 9 or 10 o'clock p.m. Much to my sadness, they are the ones that the managers see when its time for promotions, and raises. As a matter fact, does anyone know why its against labor laws to ask someone about their marital status, or whether they have children? Because we get discriminated against. Right from the beginning employers are anticipating, us calling out sick all the time, latenesses,early leaves,etc...unfair? Absolutely! I am just giving the other side of the story, I have encountered many women who will not bend, not even a little when it comes to work.
I was just saying what should be expected when you make the decision to go back.
I went on a job interview last summer and the interviewer asked how I feel about working late. I chose to explain my situation to her and clearly told her that this was not possible as my husband works at night and I have to take over at a decent time so that he can get some sleep, her response was that if I want to work there I should consider hiring a baby sitter for a couple of hours in the evenings because there was no way to guarantee that I would be out by 5 every night, she was very blunt in asking me whether i thought it would be fair for my "team" if everyone got to stay but me. This ladies is the attitude all over. We kinda have to adjust.

I actually don't know of many women with a "work around my schedule" attitude -- whether they are working moms who've never taken a break or former SAHMs who've recently come back.
I do think it is perfectly fair for an employee who is getting paid for part-time work to leave at 3 pm or whenever they are supposed to - without recrimination or nasty looks or accusations that they are not serious about their careers. This is hardly a "work around my schedule" attitude.
And regarding former SAHMs, I've heard from employers that they often have a better attitude than men and women who've never taken time off. They are eager to prove themselves, and because they've accepted a nonlinear career, they don't care about who has the bigger office or who gets the most high profile speaking part at the sales meeting. Employers report they are very focused on working -- pure and simple.
Those "lots of flextime options that should work and be presented" bring a whole other can o' worms. I've eased back into to full time work after #2, and used some of those options--they are not without their challenges, usually from women like Jeann. Everything from sideways glances when I say at 3 p.m., "I'm going to the silly hat parade and will work tonight" to downright accusations that I'm not working at home when I say I am. (Nevermind I have been extremely productive and have managed to bring in more than 1/3 of our company's budget.) I tell myself that when the baby boomers retire, things will be different...
This is definitely a touchy subject. As a working mom who hasn't opted out, I guess one side of me believes there are sacrifices for whatever decision you make. As a working mom, those sacrifices come in the form of less time with my children. For a stay-at-home mom, those sacrifices can come in the form of reduced family income, a slowdown in career, less interaction with adults. By staying in the workforce, there is an advantage to being networked, building relations and keeping your skills polished and growing. But, I do believe the most qualified person should get the job - and that could be an on-ramping mom or someone who has stayed in the workforce.
On another note, in this age of technology and 24-7, I do think there are lots flextime options that should work and be presented - and would perhaps keep women in the workforce from the start. I hope progress continues to be made on that front for the sake of all working parents.
Jeann, This article wasn't about moms in jobs already... it was about moms struggling to be taken seriously when re-entering the workplace. Since you are so good at balancing your work and family, you should have no problem being promoted much more quickly and readily than any former SAHM. Bitter much?
I have been at my job for 12 years. When I had my son, I took maternity leave for 3 months and went back to working full time. It worked for me because my husband and I work opposite schedules and my mom lives close by and was the primary babysitter. I will admit that the first two weeks after maternity leave were hard. But I got back into in the grove and truly do not feel as if I am missing out on anything by having a full time job. I am off on the weekends and most holidays and I get 4 extra days in the summer, so really I love it. I never felt any prejudice against me because I have a child, I have time off and I use it for emergencies..i.e. head bumps, broken limbs, school recitals....However, I have encountered many mommies who have come back after a long hiatus and the sense of entitlement astounds me!
You cannot come back to work after all of those years and think that your team has to work around your schedule because you have children. I don't work past 5:30, but I have come to terms with the fact that sometimes I might have too. The point I am trying to make is just that if you are not ready to adjust your home schedule so that it kinda flexes around your work schedule, then maybe its not the right time to go back to work. I have witnessed MANY MANY arguments concerning moms bolting out of the office at quitting time, leaving their coworkers swamped with work that needed to go out that evening. Ladies, think about the commitment you are about to make, truth is, having a child does not automatically exempt you from being part of the team.
