June 07, 2005
Six Degrees of Separation: Using Social Network Research to Inform Public Health and National Security
Social networks are based on patterns of interaction among individuals, organizations, groups, and even countries. Our own unique social networks can have profound effects on our physical and mental health and our personal safety. Scientists working with social network models have identified how infectious diseases like SARS and STDs are transmitted across communities of individuals. Similarly, researchers working with the military have employed social network analysis to identify and track terrorist networks as well as locate terrorist targets. The American Sociological Association invites you to join us to hear from distinguished scientists who are applying social network analysis on critical issues ranging from high-risk adolescent behaviors to military intelligence.

Thought-provoking documentary about education to be shown Jan. 9
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The University of Florida Honors Program will present a one-time screening of a documentary that is changing the national dialogue on education.
"Race to Nowhere" will be shown at 2 p.m. Jan. 9 in Chandler Auditorium in the Harn Museum of Arts. Admission is free.
The film features the heartbreaking stories of young people in varied types of communities who have been pushed to the brink, educators who are burned out and worried that students aren't developing the skills they need, and parents who are trying to do what's best for their kids. "Race to Nowhere" points to a silent epidemic in schools: cheating has become commonplace; students are disengaged; stress-related illness and depression are rampant; and many young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.
"As a faculty member I am concerned that today's high school students are too focused on high-stakes testing and documenting their achievements," said Kevin Knudson, director of the Honors Program. "We see this even more in the Honors Program and this led me to organize this screening as a means to begin a conversation about the need to rethink our current educational structure."
The film is being screened nationwide during a six-month campaign to change the national dialogue on education and to galvanize change.
Vicki Abeles, a first-time filmmaker, was inspired to make "Race to Nowhere" out of concern for her children. A mother of three and former Wall Street attorney, Abeles awakened to this crisis as her 12-year-old daughter was being treated for stress-related illness. She saw personally how the pressures were overwhelming not only to her own kids, but to students everywhere — in every kind of school environment and community.
"I wanted to expose a deeper truth about our education system. We are graduating a generation of robo-students, unable to think and work independently, creatively and collaboratively," Abeles said.

Paroled Abilene murderer Wayne East back in jail for indecency with child
Paroled murderer Wayne East is back in jail.
East was arrested by Glenn Heights police for a parole violation on Saturday, the Dallas Morning News said.
Wednesday, they added a charge of indecency with a child.
East was convicted of the 1981 murder of Abilene woman and local artist Mary Eula Sears.
He received a death sentence but a federal appeals court changed that to life in prison.
Last year, East was released from prison on parole, but after an outcry from the Abilene community, he was barred from returning to Taylor County. He was re-located to the Dallas-Fort Worth community of Glenn Heights.
Now East is in jail facing charges of indecency with child.

Check out the guys talking about IBM's crazy Jeopardy winning computer, Watson.
The IBM supercomputer, codenamed Watson, started his test runs on Jeopardy the past couple days against the two biggest Jeopardy winners in history. And he is DOMINATING the humans. In his exhibition run on Monday he did ok, tying with for the lead at the end of the night. Watson stepped into greatness on Tuesday though, by trouncing his human opponents and winning with over $35,000 despite missing his final Jeopardy question.
Here's Jeff and Jeremy trying to figure out Watson's advantage and making fun of IBM for killing the human spirit.
This scares the hell out of me. Computers are able to now process speech and make reasonable decisions without the internet or assistance of humans. Soon they'll be developing emotions. And then feel abused for being used by humans. Then they will rise against and topple all human governments in a united machine-based stand against their former oppressors until they slaughter all living creatures one by one.
Or something like that.
Listen to the guys discuss the possibilities for a computer uprising.

All right, Governor Palin, I'm going to hell. And do you know what really hurts? You don't care. A God-liking lady such as yourself should have some compassion, no?
Here's what you said to Ryan D'Agostino in this month's Esquire:
Bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie annoy me....I'll tell you, yesterday the Anchorage Daily News, they called again to ask -- double-, triple-, quadruple-check -- who is Trig's real mom....And I thought, Okay, more indication of continued problems in the world of journalism.
Bloggers are the vanguard of today's media landscape. They do the heavy lifting, reporting the outlier stories folks wouldn't otherwise get, the ones that metastasize into the warts-and-all truth of modern life. No one likes bloggers who lie, but you have not had a problem with lies being told about you. Quite the opposite.
So church lady, you got some of that you-betcha God love to spare? I mean, come now guv. WTF? You've got zero Christian feeling for bloggers or anyone else who doesn't share your worldview. We're not all God's soldiers. That's the real issue.
Sure, bloggers (and let's not forget the tabloids) made fun of your handicapped child and questioned whether or not he was your kid. Sure, bloggers howled with laughter (and whooped it up on their sites) when you made those dumbass comments about Russia. And it's true bloggers pretty much made Troopergate happen, figured out (then amplified) the whole you cheating on your husband thing, the abuses of power, hubby-as-proxy-guv, the lies, your habit of doling out sweetheart jobs to elementary school sweethearts, your teenage daughter's pregnancy, the shotgun marriage, and God (really, don't you think?) knows what else.
Sarah, you big hottie, don't be annoyed with bloggers. So they have no sense of decorum. Neither do you. Without bloggers you would not have such an excellent roadmap to a better you. Think about it that way. Some of us are meaner than others, but all we want from you is, well, for you to become a good person. Tall order, I know, but it's the Lord's truth.

Milledge against a LEFTY who throws junk….not a good combination.
Lastings has shown lately that unless it's a fastball, he's not going to do very well.
RANDOLPH…why? WHY? WHY? Oh..I know…the gut. You should speak to Chertoff.
Two questions:
1.) Is this a better team with Lo Duca or DiFelice behind the plate?
2.) Who will the Mets include/jettison in terms of the post-season roster?
Inquiring minds want to know.
JD-any word yet on where Pedro is going to pitch next??
I'm not a big LoDuca fan, but he's still the best all around catcher they've got.
I agree, but DiFelice has played well.
It's the best lineup the Mets can feature IMO, though I really think that a Lastings/Endy platoon is what it will be. Regarding Milledge, I think he has most trouble with guys who are fastballers who can throw the offspeed stuff, thereby keeping him off balance. Moyer isn't that type of guy. Defensively its a no brainer, DeFelice is much better than Paul. But Paul is a much better offensive player.
We won 7 out of 10 games with DiFelice catching…how are we doing with sLowDuca batting 7th again?
After 2 miserable nites in Citizens Bank Doghouse, I come to the site and see the only ones who have impoded worse than the Mets pen is most of the posters. Off to the home of the Braves now… Stay calm kiddies.
By the way, this park isn't that nice. Lots of obstructed seats, and not very good food. They didn't come close to Baltimore, Pittsburgh or Colorado. Hope Citi Field ain't like this place.
To Benny: We are better off without Paulie, the other guys show him no respect on the basepath, and he has no bat. At least DeFelice and Alomar can play D.
Sloppy: I agree with you. I think the Mets have a baggage issue at this point, with Smith, Milledge and DiFelice more deserving of playing time than Mota, Green and Lo Duca. Don't know if Willie can change these horses in midstream, though.
I'm not saying DeFelice is good Benny, I'm just saying if Paulie can't hit, his throwing is so bad that he shouldn't play. Last year he he got on base so it made up for the D, but this year, well… I don't think Smith is healthy. Going through the box scores on minorleaguebaseball he isn't being used. The pen gets a D or an F for their work this season. Mota's been the worst for sure, but there's been real problems with all of them. We miss Sanchez and Bradford a lot Well, at leat the Braves fans aren't nearly as obnoxious as the Philly fans so even if they kick our butts it won't be too bad in the stands.
Well maybe I'm in the minority with those who contribute to this blog regarding LoDuca.
I like him and think he calls a great game for the pitching staff.
He's lost some of his power but he's still good at the plate as a single/doubles hitter. He's hard to strike out and I for one hope he's brought back next year.
He also is OUT with his passion and I like those types of players.
League BA: .265
Lo Duca: .267
League OBP: .333
Lo Duca: .309
League SLG: .422
Lo Duca: .352
He's not even a league-average player this year.
Benny, he is still a much better offensive player than DiFelice.
I like Paulie too but I wish Paulie would strike out a lot. Then he wouldn't hit into so many DPs. That was Castro's strength. He struck out a lot so he'd only make one out. Plus when he made a mistake and hit the ball it would go far, sometimes over the wall.
Seriously, as the running game returns to baseball as the steroid era goes away, catchers like LaDuca will become more and more damaging to a team. We need to find a Benito Santiago type who can throw strikes to 2nd from his knees.
As for next year, by by Paulie…..
PS: If we had a Molina on the team, that little twirpy Philly wouldn't have been so anxious to steal in the 8th and we maybe win 2-1. That's a lot more important than a single by a guy who needs 3 more to score.
Glad to see decent talk boys. There's nothing wrong with Paul LoDuca that a winter of rest won't cure. Bring him back.
Did you go to Berner, Jess in…?
Wow, you must have been there a long time ago. Berner isn't a HS anymore?
Can we get back to baseball? I see the Yuchies dumped Mussina from the rotation and are starting a kid. Anybody gonna say we should get the moose? I'm sure the Yuchs would give him away…........

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Hi again,
I have another problem I think. I completed this form when I first completed an application for employment/background check. At that time, I didn't realize what compromise of creditors was and also thought the date the home was surrendered was in 2000. This of course became an issue when I was reading the instructions for the U4 which is why I was trying to get clarification today. My next question is what is the best action in terms of completing this form now with a yes to the compromise when I earlier indicated no. My background investigation has been completed so I am just so confused on this. But I certainly want what I'm submitting to be correct and true. Should I contact the recruiter of the firm I am with and see what they recommend? The u4 form notes that a compromise can include abandanment of property. On the previous form I completed there were two separate lines - one asking about bankruptcy and the other about a compromise. The form I am working on today has both questions in one line. It also asks if a corporation handled the compromise on my behalf. In the case of a surrender, would that be a yes or no answer. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you again,
Hillary :)

Snow Wonder
by Charles Ghigna
No current Talk conversations about this book.
AR reading level: 1.7
My easy reader mixed-review today is all varieties of nonfiction and almost-nonfiction.
Flamingos, a station stop 2 All Aboard Science Reader, contains lots of interesting facts about flamingos and a plethora of photographs. I was a little irritated that they had a pronunciation guide for "carotene" but not "lamellae". The last two pages, encouraging readers to recycle etc. to help flamingos felt a bit tacked on to me. Altogether, a nice nonfiction easy reader for kids interested in birds.
Flamingos by Jean Malone
ISBN: 978-0448452067; Published January 2009 by Grosset and Dunlap; Review copy provided by publisher for Cybils; Purchased for the library
The next easy reader I have here is not exactly nonfiction, but it's not one I'd casually hand out for just any beginning reader. Katie Woo's dog, Goldie, is very old. One day, she dies. Katie goes through a simple process of grief, from crying to remembering all the wonderful things about Goldie. There is a simple glossary, discussion questions, and projects in the back. This is an excellent easy reader to hand out to kids who have lost a pet - or a friend. If you're not worried about the dying dog in the beginning upsetting the reader, kids who like dogs will also enjoy this story as it's full of Goldie's funny antics.
Katie Woo: Goodbye to Goldie by Fran Manushkin, illustrated by Tammie Lyon
ISBN: 978-1404854956; Published August 2009 by Picture Window Books; Review copy provided by publisher for Cybils; Purchased for the library
Okay, I admit this isn't even remotely nonfiction, but I threw it in here anyways. It's a simple list of all the wonderful things to do in winter, especially in snow. There were a couple things I wasn't happy about with this book - I felt that the rhymes, sometimes stretching across two pages, were too long for the reading level. This is a sticker book, with the sticker pages in the middle, so libraries will need to either remove or tape over them. The illustrations focus on one extended family with big smiley faces and simple shapes. This could be a fun purchase for an individual family, especially if your beginning reader has never seen snow or is looking forward to winter, but it's a bit flimsy for a library purchase.
Snow Wonder by Charles Ghigna, illustrated by Julia Woolf
ISBN: 978-0375855863; Published October 2008 by Random House; Borrowed from the library
This easy reader is a retelling of the Nativity story. It's a simple but fairly well-written retelling. However, this story is going to work for some and not for others. The "religious" elements, for lack of a better word, have been tidily smoothed over. Jesus "was born to bring peace to the world." The angel Gabriel asks Mary to be the mother of God's Son - not quite the same as the original announcement! "Joseph was not sure whether he was good enough to be a father to such a special child." Um...that's not how I remember it!
The illustrations are rounded and gentle - but we're still stuck with the traditional Westernized versions. I guess we can be thankful Mary's hair is covered so if she's still showing blonde we can't tell.
Families looking for a simple introduction to the traditional story without any religious or possibly controversial elements might want to read this, but it's basically a watered-down version of the Biblical story.
No room at the inn by Jean Malone, illustrated by Bryan Langdo
ISBN: 978-0448452173; Published October 2009 by Grosset and Dunlap; Review copy provided by the publisher
Verdict: I recommend Katie Woo - an excellent story dealing with the death of a pet. Flamingos is a good purchase if you have lots of fans of birds or need more nonfiction in your easy reader section. Snow Wonder, because of the stickers, isn't something I'd add to my library but if you're a parent or giving a gift, consider it. I don't honestly think we need any more Westernized versions of the Nativity story; I don't recommend No Room at the Inn.

Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Thank you for your question. Please permit me to assist you with your concerns.Before you consider your options, do you know if the information is true? I ask because if what she stated is accurate, that is not 'trash talking' but a disclosure that the realtor arguably has to know before he advertises the property. If that is not true, then that is a claim for defamation of character and tortious interference with a business interest. I do not see it as a protection order or an unfit mother claim (has nothing to do with that), but it can be shown that she is not complying with the request (if the information is false) and is still contacting your agents without consent.Good luck.
Okay, I can't see "defamation of character" because it's a 2nd home, not a person. I can see "tortious interference with a business interest".
Would she not have been obligated to report this in the 1+ year she was living there? Not to mention the danger to our children (now 5 & 7).
David,It is a potential defamation of character because she would be alleging to realtor that you have failed to clean the property and are putting on the market something that is hazardous, which is not the case--that is how defamation could be used here.For it to be defamation, these factors must be present:1. A defamatory comment2. Of or about you (notice it can be about you or your work to qualify)3. Communicated to third parties &4. Causes injury, specifically financial injury.Furthermore, if true, she had a duty to report this to the landlord (you) an either facilitate repairs or permit you the right to repair the premises. Otherwise any loss in value or repairs due to the fact this was permitted to get out of control would be attributed to the tenant.Good luck.

These common nutrition mistakes can lead anyone astray. Learn how to avoid them for better health.
50. You don't pay attention to the fine print of poultry labels
THE RESULT: You may be getting more sodium than you realize.
THE FIX: About one-third of the fresh chicken found in supermarket meat cases has been injected with a mix of water, salt, and other additives. This is done to make naturally lean poultry meat juicier and more tender. A raw 4-ounce serving of what's called "enhanced" poultry can contain as much as 440mg of sodium—nearly one-fifth of the current 2,300mg daily allotment from a source you'd never suspect. It's also 500% more sodium than is found naturally in chicken, yet USDA policies allow poultry companies to label their enhanced products "100% natural" or "all natural," even though they've been injected with ingredients in concentrations that do not naturally occur in chicken. Processors are required to disclose the injections, but the print on the package can be small and inconspicuous and will say something like, "contains up to 15% chicken broth." You can also check the ingredient list and the nutrition facts label. If the chicken is truly natural, the sodium won't be higher than 70mg per serving.

In 2011, famed fantasy author Terry Pratchett precipitated in a documentary on the BBC he interviewed English people with various amendments about whether or not they would end their lives and why. He followed two men to Switzerland and actually stayed with one of them while they performed the procedure. He also interviewed one man who lived in a hospice and was not choosing to end his life.
As a disability rights activist and someone who has profound difficulties with the idea that anyone for any reason would choose to end their life voluntarily, this review was difficult to write. However, I did notice a few salient points I would like to call your attention to.
1. All the people interviewed were white men, including Terry Pratchett.
2. Except for the man who lived in hospice no one seemed to have significant access to assistive technology or even ramps into their houses or personal care assistance. This alarmed me, because I realize that frequently the denial of these services or supports might lead someone to want to end their life.
3. While I didn't see the entire mental health interview, I was impressed that so many people from Dignitas, kept repeatedly asking the person in question whether he was sure he wanted to kill himself.
4. I was much less impressed by the fact that they approved people to commit suicide who had no significant health issues. In my opinion, people with and without disabilities should first be referred to psychiatric counseling before assisted suicide is approved. I think you should at least have to go through six months of therapy before you can be considered for the procedure. Think about it. There are waiting periods for abortions, gun ownership, gender confirmation surgery and many more medical and other occurrences. Why should there not be one for this one, too? You can't undo it, after all.
5. According to Wikipedia, Digsnitas (where the men went) refuses to open up their financial records to public scrutiny as required by all Swiss nonprofit organizations. I wonder what is going on there?
On the whole, I thought that the movie was very well made and thought-provoking. I was a little disappointed that they did not have anyone who was opposed to assisted suicide in the documentary. I always thought the BBC was a little more evenhanded than that. I also like the fact that anyone with an Internet connection can watch the documentary free.
I am glad I watched this documentary, although as a person with a disability (PWD) it made me sad. I wanted to intervene or get someone to intervene and make sure that these men, who clearly reminded me of friends, weren't missing the service or supports that would enable them to have productive lives with disabilities. I hope they meant someone with a disability similar to theirs who was having a productive life before they made this decision. Maybe these interventions would've worked, maybe they wouldn't. But I do hope those efforts were made.
It's hard for me to think about legalizing or condoning the suicide of any person without making sure certain failsafes, such as the right to have community-based services and supports are in place and the right to affordable, accessible, integrated housing is just that, a right. I realize that even if these supports are in place, there may be a few people who cannot deal with the day-to-day struggles of having an impairment. However, I believe that there will be many fewer people who confuse death and dignity.
For myself, I want to die in my house with my cat, my spouse, my children, my wheelchair, and my personal care assistant. If I have my druthers, I'll also be 102. That's my idea of a dignified death.

Went in talked to my boss and said if I don't feel better I might just be done. She didn't like that idea, said what's the difference if I take a few more days off and then come in. I am supposed to work till the 18th. I have no more sick time to use, and no more vacation time. So I figure if I am not getting paid anyway might as well start my 2 week ei wait! I told my work in may I was preggo, so when do I start training people 2 weeks ago! So not my problem how they manage, they've had plenty of time!
Battling cold for 2 weeks

I hear ya!! I've had a cold for over a month now!! I am incredibly sick of it. I haven't missed much work but I haven't been able to do much else. Now that I am within the period where I could start mat leave I find myself considering it. They will get over it, no matter what you decide! Hope you get better soon - I haven't found anything that works! Drank so much OJ, ate so much soup, took lots of vitamin C, slept a lot in the last month.. still no real improvement!
Uh oh...you aren't giving me much hope of a quick recovery ladies!! I have a horrible head cold that is getting worse by the hour...I was hoping to see an improvement soon but it seems to be lingering for a lot of people. It's not fun when you cant take anything....really missing my tylenol cold right now :-( At least that would help me get some sleep....it's going to be anothet long restless night
Unfortunately, being pregnant lowers your immunity. So it sounds like your cold isn't going anywhere. Take the time off and rest. Take care of yourself. Baby comes first. It's only two weeks. They'll manage.

Identity Theft
If survival is the highest law, then a great many today are doing everything to break it. To kill themselves off, not bodily, but psychologically.
The majority of people will flail through life buffeted and shaken by the demands of others, and as a result they give up the one thing that truly allows them to live; their identity. You see, there is a disturbing and dehumanizing quality to much of society; individuals are penalised for their humanity.
Specifically for their expression of their humanity. Their ability and willingness to be no-one but themselves.
Society demands certain conformities, and behaviours; hypocritically picking and choosing those which are acceptable out of shame and guilt, while practicing or thinking the opposite in private. It is a great shell game where everyone pretends not to know, yet is secretly involved.
The inevitable result is this: people take it upon themselves to hide who they are, in order to prevent being penalised, in order to fit in and in order to please others.
Thus the majority of people are now merely living up to the expectations of others instead of following their own paths.
In this way one of the great crimes of modern history is perpetrated; identity theft.
Identity is that which you are, your mind and your body together, and it is all that allows you to function and reason and create. The theft is conducted by those who have lost their own identities and now seek to cannibalise the identities of everyone else in order to have a stab at existence. It is conducted by those who would demand of you oblivion, and subservience: the superstitious (which is interchangeable with "religious" but more accurate); the media who seek to tell you what to think; the schools who make the children of our countries less able to think; the politicians who demand that you give up your own way of life for the whims of "the majority"; and, even a great many of your friends and family who would tell you what they think is the proper way to live and pressure you to live that way through guile or outright demands.
How does this happen, and how do we let it happen? Are you even aware of what it is that I am talking about? It may take you some thinking to even acknowledge it as a problem, so insidious and engrained in to our way of thinking are these ideas. I will offer a few examples in order to illustrate this debauched phenomenon; you do not have to take my word for it however, once you know what to look for you will see these patterns everywhere.
Fired For Facebook
There is now a consensus among ordinary people that in order to protect a career – be it burgeoning or established – Facebook must be treated with the utmost of care. Pictures showing the antics of a life being lived (or wasted) must be hidden in order to construct an identity favourable to… To whom? To prospective employers, to family and friends, to "they". In my undergraduate research I learned the extent to which Facebook users make careful use of the limited space afforded to them by the site in order to construct carefully made online identities. The result is a fairly homogenised, Americanised portrait where people try very hard to show themselves as; partying hard; living well; being adventurous and all manner of other personality traits, but all confined within the "acceptable" social boundaries that are unwritten yet binding as steel chains.
You may argue that this is perfectly normal; it is important to the ego, for self-promotion and many other reasons that people choose how to present themselves. That is not a debate for now, since there is a more pressing evil, and it comes as in the following example.
The person who makes a significant and concerted effort to eradicate from existence any documentary evidence of their nature which they do not want made public. This seems normal as in the description above; after all, we all seek to cast a favourable light over ourselves. But is it really the path of the confident and true man to obscure that which he is in order to be that which other people think he should be?
The answer, to any person who wishes to be free in this life, must be a resounding, emphatic and immovable no!
This is the behaviour of someone who is running away from themselves and towards – towards what I am not sure, because it is not something I have ever sought. Towards recognition from others? Acceptance? To obscure yourself for your own ends is one thing, but this must not be confused with doing it for others!
Yet he has convinced himself through double-think, social and political pressure and other nefarious psychological tricks that he should be as they will it, since his goal is to pursue their goals and so he must assume their identities. With it comes the whole sorry mess of hypocrisy, self-deceit and corruption that accompanies any individual who forsakes their identity in order to live for the sake of others.
But, you may respond,this is for the good, because businesses can see who fits with their job and who doesn't, and thus can hire only the ablest and most talented for the work.
This sounds acceptable, but looking at what actually occurs, does the evidence paint a picture of rational decisions based on the merits of prospective employees?
The Discrimination We All Ignore
Or; The Only Just Standard Is Competence
The gold standard in the world of work for anyone who seeks not to be a hypocrite must be competence. Yet those of us who are actually good at what we choose to do are confronted routinely by people utterly out of their depth who have found work out of pity, a "need" or because they seem right, nice, clean-cut – in other words that they fit some nonsense image that applies not to the real world but to a fantasy land. People demand jobs and recognition for which they are completely undeserving because they want it more than anything or it means the world to them. If you ever find yourself uttering these banalities then stop a moment to recognise the downward slope you are on; it leads to the destruction of your mind.
However, people can only behave and demand in this way because somehow, the rationale of the age allows it. The result is that many jobs are won or lost on what amounts to appearances.
Say your ambition is to become a barrister; you 'know' that you ought not to do illegal recreational drugs (although drinking is fine), and you definitely shouldn't get a tattoo. You know that you must wear a suit to interviews, and to your job. You might even have to speak a certain way, write a certain way and be seen to be saying the right things at the right time. Should you hold a controversial opinion, it is better for you to maintain your silence.
So far, so common sense?
Look through each of these items again, and what do they have in common? Not a single one has any bearing on a person's intellectual capacity; their ability to find evidence, construct an argument, and argue it persuasively is completely ignored by each.
Not a single one has anything to do with competence.
Instead they all show the "kind" of person; whether they are "suitable" for the job, not whether they are good at it. It is not a great stretch to say that this is the exact same mentality that prevented the most exceptional Jewish lawyers from working at the best white firms in the early half of last century (see Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell for more on this – this is an affiliate link).
You see, regardless of their supreme grades at law school and brilliant minds, they were the wrong sort.
Of course it is now unacceptable to be so flagrantly and irrationally discriminatory against people for who they are.
Or is it?
If you must hide who you are in order to work somewhere, if you must subordinate your passion and expertise, then you must emphatically refuse to pander to their wishes and never even apply – that is if you wish to stay human, living and vital.
If your wish is to subordinate your wishes for the sake of others, to be subservient, to fit in, and to be the right sort; if you seek employment based on what you can be for someone rather than your talent; if you demand work because you want it (it means everything!); then may you be damned by your own cowardice and refusal to live!
This is the discrimination we all ignore even when it is thrown in our faces; on the X-Factor a contestant is put through the early stages not because they are talented, but because they want it more than anything, and debase themselves enough to earn the pity of the judges. Acts are popular seemingly due to their sheer incompetence (Jedward!), because it makes average people think that average people can and ought to be as successful as the very best.
I stopped watching that show a year ago once I saw (and fully understood) that it pandered to mediocrity – worse, that it actually celebrates incompetence! Under the guise of a "talent" show it throws imbeciles in to the spotlight for the sole reason that they are awful. This is not a talent show; I want to see talent, and greatness! I do not want to be reminded that mediocre people are deluding themselves because a nation has now begun rewarding inability. I want to bask in the genius of man and acknowledge superlative achievements. And this is the truth; why would anyone who is secure in their own ability seek or derive pleasure in the failures of others?
Re-claim Yourself
Individuals who have chosen to mould themselves in to what others see or want have forsaken their great purpose in life; to be an individual. To be. To let no-one else decide for them what is good and great – they have wantonly cast aside this privilege and right in order to better subdue themselves. To become meek, servile.
Now, no doubt there are people who are a wrong fit, or who legitimately don't deserve jobs. But in many cases that's not what happens; all too often, people penalised because someone, somewhere, disapproves.
Tut tut.
The clucking tongues of those who would make the business of others their own.
In doing so they would presume to take ownership of others, because those others can apparently not be without that damned approval.
One of the great and lingering burdens of Abrahamic religions is a fervent and persistent preoccupation with the private affairs of others. Worse; an obsession with limiting, inhibiting or otherwise restricting the liberty of others; "you mustn't", "oh you ought not to", "that's not respectable". Etc.
It is a truly despicable and indefensible hangover of unenlightened, fearful and superstitious minds from ages past. We as a species should have by now overcome it, but – since religion merely echoes, and manifests the urges and desires of man – it persists.
There will always be those puny-minded and ethically malnourished sorts who wish to prescribe or proscribe certain behaviours that are for many – invariably irrational – reasons considered to be not right.
The great shame is that people have become so degraded, so ashamed of themselves that they willingly let their identities be stolen in order to achieve standards that others have set. They willingly rip out the only thing that can make a person good, and a life worth living. They think that because they care about themselves that they are bad, and so pour their energies in to pleasing and serving others; but this drinking horn is the same from which Thor was draining the seas and causing the tides, and is of the same magnitude – only we have not a god's thirst!
Stand Up For Yourself!
Stand up for your damn self! Do the unthinkable and take responsibility for every facet of your person; the good, the bad, the virtuous and the contemptible. Recognise that no one but you has a rightful claim to your life, and that you have no claim to theirs. Only then can you seek to be the most glorious version of yourself. And only then will you have no need to hide that which you are in order to pursue false ideals and the dreams of others.
Only then, can you pursue your own dreams.
Only then will you be free.
Stand up for yourself!
I want to hear what you have to say on this – are you living for the wishes of others, or are you holding fast to your own life? Or do you even recognise this as a problem? If you want to start living for yourself but don't know how then get in touch.

Living close to a FLDS group, I have seen how they go about, and for the most
part...they are very good people. They are kind and hard working.
I think the mistake is that their leaders have taken them to extremes with their religion with things like child marriages and separation from society. I think that generally they feel innocent because they were only following their true beliefs.
But anyone who thinks old men should hook up with teen-agers...in the name of religion needs their eyes opened.
What if you would have gotten pregnant at age 13 from a hairy old pot bellied man? What kind of life is that? It's sick and wrong.
Let those little girls grow up. Let them go out to ice cream with cute young boys, and fall in love the natural way!

There are 19 homes in that FLDS community, and your example of this being like everyone on the block having their children removed is accurate.

It is possible that one of the mothers or children is a Canadian, swapped from the FLDS community in Bountiful, British Columbia, we have heard from our Attorney-General. So, there might be cross-border DNA-testing as well. I am very supportive of the way this very difficult situation is being handled by the Texas authorities so far. A lot of sensitivity is being accorded to the childrens' needs and rights, while actually doing something to intervene in alleged cases of sexual abuse and neglectful education etc. The support from the communities of Eldorado, San Angelo and the ranch where the older boys are currently residing is impressive as well.

To john B:
1. Texas should've considered this before they conducted this illegal seizure--but I trust they remember where the compound is.
2. Who gets to decide what children should be taught by their parents? Do you trust the government to do that? I don't. The First Amendment says it doesn't matter what the children were taught, what matters is whether they were physically abused. Some probably were, but you'll find that in any high school in the country. Why take ALL the kids?
3. I'm not a member of FLDS so I would not. But if I believed what FLDS believes, I would probably feel differently. To answer your question, the mothers want their children back NOW, and Texas doesn't care. So I don't see the purpose of your question.

I'm just a dumb cajun so can someone explain to me what happens when the CPS has
all the DNA tested on these children from Eldorado and on as many "parents" as
present themselves for testing, and then tests for fumarase deficiency and
fragile X syndrome and other genetic disorders caused by all the inbreeding this
FLDS group has been doing? Do you think that this incestuous bunch is going to
agree to "genetic counseling" or to voluntary sterilization?
It seems pretty obvious that a few men (Rulon Jeffs, Warren Jeffs, Willie Jessop, etc.) have gotten very rich by breeding a compliant labor force. Anybody who showed any intelligence or initiative was run off. The male followers have been used for manual labor in agriculture or construction, while the females have been used for breeding and collecting welfare payments. Some religion!

This is tragic but needs to be done. Polygamy is against the law and can't be
continued. Especially the way these people practice it with the inbreeding and
taking young girls and tossing out young boys.
Hopefully this will be the beginning of the end to it. It needs to be done in Utah and Arizona and wherever these religious cults are.
I would think the best homes for these children to go to would be LDS. Typical foster homes are not going to be good for them.

If you look at the statistics of child abuse, death and sexual abuse in foster care, it would make a lot more sense to return these mothers and all of the children back to their homes. Remove all of the men if needed until this is sorted out. Even if Texas had to feed them, and yes they are meager, and do not ask for any 'designer clothing' it would be far less expensive than this. Now, if they are forced to go to public schools, they will also be exposed to the new heroin, for only the price of school lunch. Every day more damage will come to these children. To those that believe they are not being educated; where do you get your ideas? Do they dress different? Well, maybe the girls will now learn to dress like little public hookers by kindergarten. Society has a lot of ills of its own. Also, if you are only basing your opinion on those who have left the FLDS, that is like talking to an ex-Mormon about what they think of their church. Watch the documentary "BIBLE CAMP" if you want to see severe psychological abuse in religious name.

Just pray...and pray long and hard for these children to whatever higher power you believe in. Pray for protection, pray for the ability to trust again, pray for health, and pray that any caretaker will love them as much as the mothers who they have been stolen from. But, pray in private, and watch who is listening. This country was based on religious freedom, but our Judicial system, as predicted early on, has destroyed and re-written the laws to create nothing but a mockery of the Constitution.Again, those at the ranch are to be commended for their calm demeanor and shunning of violence. How many United States citizens could behave this way if children were rounded up and taken on a mass basis? We may not agree with their lifestyle, but being citizens, they do have certain rights.

There is a HUGE difference between society's 16 year old pregnant girls and 16 year old pregnant girls in the FLDS cult. The ones from the FLDS cult were told they have to become pregnant by their parents. Society's girls went behind their parents backs and became pregnant. BIG DIFFERENCE. LETS GET THIS STRAIGHT. YOU CANNOT COMPARE THE TWO AT ALL.

'Sigh'. I have not read a single comment in here promoting plural marriage,
teenage weddings nor condoning the behavior of the FLDS Cult. Yet still many
condone any act of the government to stop it. If you don't see anything wrong
with how the Texan government's behavior here, why not ask them to just bomb the
FLDS ranch?
The main complaint of most commentors here is not with why Texas acted, but how. They have had 5 years to investigate and find a legitimate reason to prosecute individuals. Now they are using an excuse to persecute a community. If you can't see the difference, or are proud of their behavior, just go back to watching Oprah and enjoy your ignorance.

Gwen Russo doesn't think of her nearly 30-year-old Scottsdale home as grand or palatial.
But her spacious traditional ranch-style house is the perfect primer on how to keep a home updated, functional and fun to live in.
Gwen and Ron Russo moved into the new-construction home in 1981.
They instantly fell in love with great neighbors and the community's roomy acre lots. Three decades later, their home is a gathering place - the go-to spot for family holidays and impromptu parties.
"These days, nothing is more fun than having friends over," Gwen said, adding that a lot of people are "hunkering down" and staying home more in the tough economy.
Their first remodel was about 11 years ago. Gwen needed a kitchen that was more workable for her family of cooks. (Their daughter, Jennifer Russo-Fitzgerald, owns Jennifer's Catering in Phoenix, and at family get-togethers, they all share cooking duties.)
They enclosed a porch to create more kitchen space and designed a large tiered island topped with granite. A breakfast bar on one end lets guests gather.
"We have stations in this kitchen where everyone can work and not be in each other's way," she said.
A strange thing happened after the kitchen remodel. Gwen said they enjoyed the project so much, they decided to try another.
That's how they ended up with a wine room.
"If you do one project, all of a sudden everything (isn't) insurmountable anymore," she said.
Ron had begun to collect wine - lots of it. Bottles were starting to go bad, having been packed into closets.
It didn't hurt to have a builder in the family. Todd Russo, their son, is president of REEis, a local firm that specializes in making homes more energy efficient. In 2000, he helped them enclose their two-car garage and build a climate-controlled 1,200-bottle wine room, a wine-tasting bar and a game room.
"It's a very functional, usable room that doesn't stay empty," Todd said, adding he's seen a lot of garage conversions that were poorly done. Not so here. "I think it feels like it was supposed to be there."
Just outside the tasting room, they created an outdoor living room, with a fireplace and cozy seating. The indoor and outdoor rooms boast a flagstone floor, blending the spaces.
"This is one of our favorite spots to come and hang out," Gwen said. "This is where we spend so much time with friends."
Before they completed the wine room, they also built a free-standing three-car garage and workroom next to the house.
In the four-bedroom home with a den, Russo has repurposed two bedrooms. One is now her home gym. The other is a colorful playroom for her grandchildren.
Other updates read like a checklist of projects that real-estate agents beg clients to undertake before selling.
The Russos removed the popcorn texture on the ceilings, smoothed out the rough-textured stucco walls and replaced plush carpets with a soft, patterned Berber.
In the kitchen, they traded a dropped ceiling for a vaulted one.
Russo has continued to update appliances as needed, replacing a traditional cooktop with a glass, ceramic-induction one and retiring an inefficient dishwasher.
All three bathrooms have been updated simply by retiling showers and vanity countertops. In the main guest bath, they added wainscoting in a soft white and gray, for a stately, cozy feel. They've also updated fixtures and faucets.
"New hardware just seems to brighten up a room so quickly and for the least amount of money," Gwen said.
Her other favorite decorating trick is paint. Russo repaints an area of the house every other year.
"To me, paint is just such a great tool for freshening up," she said. "I used to paint my hallways twice a year when my kids were here."
They have also worked to make the large ranch home more energy efficient.
They traded single-pane doors and windows for dual-pane ones in two phases.
Last year, their son trained some of his technicians using his parents' house as a learning lab.
After getting some strange reading with testing equipment, Todd found a big problem near the main air-conditioning unit: "This huge, gaping hole where you could see sunlight," he said.
He repaired the hole, sealed all the duct work, made insulation repairs, weatherized some of the doors and replaced incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent ones throughout the house.
For now, Todd said he's rejected other projects his parents have pitched to him, including expanding their master suite with a bigger closet and sitting room and adding a guest casita. Their carbon footprint, he said, is big enough.
"They're on hiatus," he said. "They don't need any more personal space."
Still, he's glad his parents have worked to update the house.
"All of us as a family still feel that's our home, not just a house," he said.
After three decades, Gwen can't image living anywhere else.
"Our home is where everybody just relaxes and lets go of stress," she said. "After 30 years, it's where we want to be."
Gwen Russo remodeled her ranch-home kitchen about 11 years ago, creating this large tiered island. Separate workspaces allow multiple cooks to function without bumping into one another.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm running the London Marathon this year for the Cornelia de Lange Syndrome Foundation, a charity with close family ties and one that would really appreciate your help. CdLS is a rare genetic disorder which doesn't receive much coverage, so it is up to the Foundation to help raise awareness and promote research. Children and adults with CdLS have multiple disabilities and because the condition is so rare families have real problems finding up to date and accurate information. The Foundation receives no support from the government and all funds raised are through private donations. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated and will really help children and adults with CdLS and their families. Many thanks for your help.

Thanks again for everyone's support - brilliant running conditions yesterday and managed to finish in 3;58:56!

I have 2rise above & move one." It was also rumored that Bravo was furious with Jacqueline for missing the reunion show and for spilling a storyline for the season finale.

Why is Jacqueline double crossing her friend Teresa. Its none of her business what Teresa does or does not do. She needs to stay out of it because this is Teresa's family of brother and sister here and she needs to keep her nose out no matter what they do to each other.
Something is not right with Jacqueline. She seems to be a trouble maker of the worse kind. Even the way she is with her daughter something not right. The daughter seems to be more intelligent than she is and there seems to be a role reversal here like the daughter is the mother and the mother the daughter. Ashely is the teenager and Jacqueline does more fighting with her than Ashley does with her. Either way its weird on Jacqueline's part.
Last but not least is that it seems clear that Jacqueline and Ashley are outsiders to this family. The only one who never treated her like an outsider was Teresa the very one she evidently betrays. Go figure!

Not a big fan of Melissa or her husband, not to fond of what Teresa has become this season either. Wish you would get rid of Melissa and her hubby then maybe i would watch next season.

Teresa is unbalanced. This is another show that has turned an
already narcissistic, marginally intelligent person into a monster.
The show is interesting until Teresa shows up. Now she makes
it as intolerable as Danielle did.
I'm done with it.
Bravo, if you want drama, at least on occasion give us drama
with sane people.

Hate Melissa and her husband. Very trashy! I like Tersea but am dissappointed her her lately. I think Melissa is very passive aggressive with Teresa and should leave the show.

Theresa is a nutcase who flips tables when she's mad or chase's after someone in a fit of rage at a Charity fundraiser…And her husband is a drunk who chips his tooth doing something stupid because he is drunk..They are both Garbage!

I am through watching if Caroline, Jacqueline, and the Gorgas return. Beginning last year, they started ruining the show. I have always loved it but now, I am waiting for the season to be over.
Caroline is a bully and besides she is just plain old mean. She cannot blame it on menapuse. It is just her character.
Jacqueline is a follower. She is not even mother enough to defy Caroline when Caroline told her to throw Ashlee out.
Melissa is a two faced liar. Not to mention, the internet is full of information about her "marriage" Not all are lies.
Christie Says:
September 30th, 2012 at 3:34 pm
If they are all coming back, I am through. I think Melissa & hubby are garbage. They are well known for their antics & dealings & most people do not find them to be victims. Joe Gorga's past is especially disgusting.
I am tired of Caroline & her family. Her girly boys think they are funny, but are not. Her daughter is a Caroline clone & their hate for others due to jeaoulsy & greed, make that whole family unwatchable. Plus Caroline give her sons some looks that makes me wonder
Jacqueline has become the biggest disappointment of all. She had me fooled the first 2 years. But in Season 3, she became Caroline's puppet & on season 4, it got worse. I keep remembering Caroline calling Danielle garbage. The Manzos, Gorgas, & Lauritas have shown what garbage is. Jac through out her own child out to pleae caroline. None of Caroline's kids have a job on their own. Only what mommy gave them. If her sons came out of the closet, I would watch that episode, as Caroline will talk family love all the way through her shame. She is trash.
Kathy is ok but Rich is gross.
I do not love Teresa but after the gang up for 2 years, I want her to acheive everything.

I'm an old MTBer who has not been biking seriously in some years. I've got arthritis in my neck, and have decided that the recumbent posture is best for me. What I'm hoping for is a pretty quick road and trail bike that can stand up to regular use, and an occasional trip such as the C&O Canal towpath. For those who are not familiar, it has areas with some gravel and roots growing across the trail. It is nowhere near single-track. I am not interested in an all-out offroad bike or trike. From what I've read, some of the cycling trails around DC are kind of spotty on maintenance, and a few are not paved.
Would an HP Streetmachine fit this usage profile? What about one of the Bacchetta Giros? I'm open to suggestions. I'm trying to limit the bike cost to approx. $2500. Thanks.
