J.S. Jenks Elementary School has been receiving a lot of much appreciated support from the community in the past year and we would like to make our thanks more public.
Thanks to coordination by Amy Edelman, President of Green in Chestnut Hill (GRINCH), we received a massive load of Christmas tree mulch in January. It was used to create bedding on the trails to control erosion on the Southampton side.
We received a donation of paint from Chestnut Hill's new Sherwin-Williams store to continue the progress in improving our auditorium. Jenks parent Santos Velez and his work partner Wilfredo Cardona of Bowman Properties spent two afternoons in the spring to put a fresh coat of paint on the walls. We really appreciated the painting because it was the hardest task so far of the small improvements we've made to the auditorium over the years.
We are appreciative of Kilian Hardware for helping us with tool and container purchases so we can improve our recycling program and outdoor appearance.
We are indebted to the Rev. Martin Lohrmann for coordinating volunteers from Christ Ascension Lutheran and St. Martin's churches and Jenks parents for doing a wonderful job of cleaning up the grounds of debris, spreading mulch, and trimming the shrubs just before the kids returned to school.
We will never forget the generous contribution of points from parents, staff, and the community to our Recyclebank grant projects, greatly improving our recycling and helping us start a vegetable garden/nutrition program.
The vegetable garden was a success! Recyclebank grant funds were used to purchase seeds and tools in the spring. The students started a garden of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and lettuce. They also enjoyed a nutrition seminar by parent Angela Stewart, Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner and Health Coach, and physical education teacher Laura Whitney.
A group of current and former parents and volunteers kept the garden watered and weeded through the summer. We enjoyed the crops by partnering with the Friends of Jenks to have a picnic on Tuesday Oct. 8. Amy Edelman, who also owns Night Kitchen Bakery, returned along with Brenda Board, former Jenks parent and Founder of Oliver and Company Tea Room, to prepare dishes with garden produce. There was a delicious soup full of cherry tomatoes and a basil canapé with a green pepper/thyme compote.
The garden will be part of the 4-5th grade science curriculum (but all students will visit it periodically) and we all look forward to many years of produce and picnics. Leftover produce has been donated to Keystone Hospice and the Equal Dollars Food Market.
Lastly, we give another shout out to Denise Chapline of Elfant Wissahickon and Carol Bates of Chestnut Hill Rotary for organizing a major redo of the Jenks art room. Look in a previous Local for all the details!
Again, we are appreciative of the support from the community and look forward to continuing our relationship to keep Jenks an exciting place to learn!

Current conventional wisdom has the inside track for the fifth spot in the New York Mets' rotation belonging to Daisuke Matsuzaka, based primarily on how he finished last season in Flushing.
His competition is John Lannan and Jenrry Mejia, the latter who is coming off elbow surgery. There is sentiment for Mejia to win the job if healthy, but several arguments can be made in favor of Lannan:
* Lannan is left-handed, which would give the Mets two in their rotation. The other is Jonathon Niese, but his balky shoulder could give the Mets pause when it comes to cutting loose Lannan. If Niese isn't ready, they will need a lefty in their rotation.
* Another consideration is age. At 29, Lannan is four years younger than Matsuzaka. Mejia is 24, but there's still time for him to crack the rotation. In addition, Mejia has experience as a reliever, and the Mets have questions in their bullpen.
* He has a 45-58 record pitching for some pretty poor Washington teams during his seven-year career, but with a decent 4.12 ERA. Nine of those victories have been against Atlanta, but admittedly a weak 3-13 record against Philadelphia.
* In three out of four years from 2008-2011, Lannan started over 30 games and worked at least 180 innings. By contrast, Matsuzaka has only once started as many as 30 games and worked more than 170 innings during his career.
* Matsuzaka has a career 53-40 record, and seemed to correct his mechanical flaws in his final three starts in 2013 with the Mets. If Matsuzaka has indeed found his rhythm, the Mets could have a valuable trade chip while at the same time keep Lannan.
Lannan will get two innings or 30 pitches today against the Marlins.
The fifth spot remains up for grabs, but Lannan could fill the role while giving Mejia time to recover and work in the bullpen, and provide them a trade asset in Matsuzaka.
That's a lot to consider.

I finished my degree in 2001. The work upon which my degree was marked was entirely video and photographic work; I made some charcoal drawings but never really felt, [or got the impression from my tutors] that I should pursue them. Some of the drawings I did around this time provided the seeds for work I would continue to develop up to the present time.
I returned to Bristol to live and work there in October of 2001, continuing to produce drawings to the extent that my circumstances would allow. In 2003 on the basis of the appreciation some had shown for my work and the belief I had in my own abilities I took the initiative and tried pushing the work entirely off my own back subsequently selling one piece. The next year I sold three more pieces to two different people but have not sold anything since, although I have participated in my first two exhibitions the last one being with Untitled in July of 2006.

Morning Five: 04.29.10 EditionPosted by jstevrtc on April 29th, 2010
- We asked the question in yesterday's Morning Five, and today we got the answer — well, not really. New NCAA prez Mark Emmert simply said (despite the headline of the linked article) he'd reserve comment about tournament expansion until the current 68-team proposal is approved. That approval will likely come today, so we'll be on the lookout for Emmert's tabled comments on the matter, that's for sure.
- You won't be hearing anything about PTPers or dipsy-doo-dunkeroos or the Bald Dome Index on any of the Turner stations when they start covering the NCAA Tournament. Dick Vitale has no interest in ditching his analyst's seat in the studio at ESPN for a color commentating spot at Turner. No matter your opinion on his announcing style, you've got to hand it to the guy: his enthusiasm for this game is still unmatched, he's still adored by coaches and players, and, considering he'd be 84 the next time he could possibly do color for an NCAA Tournament game at ESPN, his loyalty to his current employer is admirable.
- C. J. Leslie has decided to stay at home and play for North Carolina State, disappointing reported fellow finalists Connecticut and Kentucky in doing so. Leslie, a 6'9 and 205-pound power forward, is ranked 11th in the ESPNU-100 list of high school seniors, and happy Wolfpack supporters are beaming about the prospects of how he'll meld with point guard prospect Ryan Harrow, ranked at 39th in the same list. Add underrated 6'4 shooting guard Lorenzo Brown into the mix, and you've got an NC State squad that's gong to be a lot of fun to watch next season.
- Chuck Driesell has decided to bid a fond farewell to his assistant coaching position at Maryland to become the new boss at The Citadel. And if the last name and the Maryland ties didn't clue you in…yes, it's Lefty's son. Despite a 20-13 (15-5) record in 2008-09, the Bulldogs slipped to 17-16 and 9-9 in a tougher-than-expected Southern Conference last season. After four years at the helm in Charleston, Ed Conroy now departs for Tulane, so it's now on Driesell to lead The Citadel to their first-ever NCAA Tournament bid.
- More on this as it comes in, but Seton Hall forward and recent NBA Draft declarer Herb Pope fell ill and then actually collapsed during an afternoon workout at the school, and was rushed by squad to a local hospital. The initial AP report (understandably) did not comment on Pope's status or diagnosis, though one New Jersey-based site states he is indeed listed in serious condition. We hope for the best and we'll have more info as it's available.

Card stock
wrapping paper
exacto knife
glue stick
Print or write your message on a heavy piece of card stock. Any size you want.
Cover the top of your card stock with the wrapping paper. Fold the edges around the back and glue. With an exacto knife cut an "X" on the wrapping paper. The "X" should be right over the main message. This will help the recipient open the card easily. You don't want them clawing at it after all.
This is how it should look from the back. I drew a small arrow on the back to let me know which way the message was right side up.
Tape the ribbon to the card. Place the ribbon over the small "X" so it doesn't show. Done.

To be or not to be a feminist...
One of the most striking patterns is that people feel that they can't be a feminist if they don't engage in some sort of activism. But what constitutes activism? Even if it's making choices to reject sexism in your own life, that's a form of activism in my book. But a lot of people I have spoken to seem to disagree.
What about you, readers? Have you ever had a similar experience, with someone who clearly holds feminist views rejecting the label for a reason you couldn't understand? What do you feel constitutes feminist activism?
14 comments:
The other day my father, who's for a long time been one of my feminist icons, referred to himself as an "almost feminist." This took me aback, because he and his partner have always and often spoken passionately about women's rights. It seems to me that too often there is the sense that you can only be a feminist if you are a female bodied person. My understanding of feminism is that feminism is passionate politics open and inclusive to all who work against sexism, racism, homophobia, fat phobia, ablism, etc. Feminism for me means that we fight so that all are treated with compassion. Feminist activism is a empathetic struggle for human rights. For me, it involves actively critiquing everything from problematic representations to problematic actions such as violence, harassment, and blatant restrictions to rights based on race, gender, sexuality. The project of feminism is hard to sum up easily, but I will say that for me it is about anger informed by compassion, anger that is not merely blind rage but which involves a knowledgeable and caring consciousness. Feminism for me means education, love, strength, fearlessness. I see the strengths of feminism in many people that I admire, even if they are sadly reluctant to use the term feminism. It is a beautiful passion.

Well, yes, but,
Sometimes, the history is not so proud. I still find Renee's thoughts striking because she points out that the history of feminism has not always been so kind to women of color. It's particularly striking since when I first read her blog it certainly looked like feminism to me... but she has clearly stated she doesn't want that identity. Why would you do that? Then I read it and... oh. I see...
This isn't always such an easy decision to come to.
And feminist activism can look totally different, depending on who is doing it. What a sex worker's feminism looks like, may be in direct conflict with what a not-sex worker's feminism looks like. You can get Pushed out. Have the identity that you wanted be taken away.
There's other areas & examples where there's conflict & even former feminists speaking about why they leave, but, alas, I must cop out now for I cannot think coherently when I am tired. You may be interested in some of the comments left here.
I mean I think I understand what you're talking about, when folks think feminism is one thing or another & don't like it because of how it is exaggerated in the media & stereotypes. Misconceptions & misperceptions.
But sometimes it's more complicated than that.

I actually used to feel that way, but it was more because, the way that I grew up, "feminist" was a dirty word, and then I promptly joined the Marines, where identifying one's self as a feminist automatically meant all kinds of horrible things (few of which should be perjorative in reality anyhow).
As for how to be a feminist, that depends on the person. I can't define what a feminist is, but I can certainly define what one isn't, if that makes sense.

One of my close friends has male friends that make racist, sexist, antisemetic comments, that make me feel uncomfortable. Since I feel uncomfortable, I often refuse to be around these people, along with several other of my friends. My friend says she won't be a feminist, because feminists refuse to be around her friends who make offensive comments and thus aren't accepting. We've gotten in many arguments about this and I find it frustrating.
- June 5, 2009 at 1:43 AM
Sometimes when people say that they don't identify as feminists because they aren't "active", it sounds like they don't identify as feminists because they don't want to be labeled as activists. People identify with groups that they aren't "active" members of all the time (religious, political, social, etc.).
- June 5, 2009 at 7:31 AM
Considering the bad name most feminists give to the label, it's no surprise women don't want to have it applied to them.

What I find most frustrating is the rejection of feminism for fear of alienating men. Seriously? Any guy afraid of feminism is one so insecure in his own humanity (forget the bullshit "masculinity" category) that he DOESN'T DESERVE YOU!
The other is tougher: My cool, tough, independent friends who are feminists but don't label themselves as such because they believe in "equality" not "feminism". Semantics, maybe, but hard to overcome despite rational argument.
Some women are just scared to associate themselves with the hairy, unwashed, unfashionable, unfunny dykes.
How sad for them!

Society, dominated by males, does everything to present feminism as beeing the reverse of machism, so many woman are confused and afraid and they don't assume they are feminist. I recomend you the divulgation of the video from you tube: what a feminist looks like
It is very interesting.

Former room mates who won't use "feminist" because to them it mean "feminazi". She's mostly feminist and mostly progressive with a few weird quirks.
When womanists and feminist WOC talk about white feminists not accepting or recognizing their needs/circumstances/etc - they are talking about people as misinformed as she.
For example, she is very much against affirmative action and will be the first to claim that she has never benefitted from it. And that when it is used, it puts in unqualified people. The example she always gives is when First Nations people were encouraged to become teachers and then given priority to return to their communities to teach. Sounds perfectly logical, yes? People with a grounding and understanding in the culture and the community going back to their communities and making them stronger and helping give everyone new opportunities (instead of being the marginal, neglected, and underserved communities that they often are). Not to her - she felt those teacher candidates were unqualified and inappropriate.
And yet, she is a wonderful advocate for people with disabilities.
I don't understand how some people's brains work. I just don't.

K, let me just say that I think it's an excellent point you're making about the difference between feminism and womanism and why some women will not own the term feminist - it's because they feel as though it's a movement that has disowned them. I would call myself a womanist, but, as a white woman, that isn't my term, so I own feminist and take it as a term meaning full human rights. I really appreciate Renee's blog; I've learned a great deal about the difference there, and I can definitely understand when that is the reason some women will not call themselves feminists.

I think, like anything else, we only get one image of feminism in our culture and if people don't identify with that image, they don't identify with the label. Same goes for everything from lesbian to pro-choice to Christian.
I know a lot of women who'd probably fall under the definition of feminist, but are so afraid of the baggage that comes with the word, or put off by "militant feminists" that they don't identify that way.
To be fair, I think as feminists we could be better at acknowledging that feminism is a spectrum--we shouldn't judge people who aren't as passionate about it, or who do accept sexism in their lives when they shouldn't have to.

"Feminism is simply the belief that women are human beings with human rights. Human rights are not radical claims, but merely basic rights- the right to walk around in the world at will, to breathe the air and drink water and eat food sufficient to maintain life, to speak at will and control one's own body and its movements, including its sexuality."
Marilyn French, From Eve to Dawn, Volume 1: Origins
She said it way better than I could! To deny the relevance of feminism to all women is to deny the relevance of all basic human rights.

What I find most frustrating is the rejection of feminism for fear of alienating men. Seriously? Any guy afraid of feminism is one so insecure in his own humanity (forget the bullshit "masculinity" category) that he DOESN'T DESERVE YOU!
Maybe a lot of men don't want a relationship that's woman-centered. Why would one? I see plenty of feminist commentary saying that a romantic relationship should be woman-centered.
That'd be a problem.
The other is tougher: My cool, tough, independent friends who are feminists but don't label themselves as such because they believe in "equality" not "feminism". Semantics, maybe, but hard to overcome despite rational argument.
Not really semantics. When something is named "femin"-ism, you pretty much state your intentions up front. If I made a movement called "masculism", would you believe it was all about equality, or just about boosting up males?

As I was moderating these comments, I noticed people discussing the distinction between feminism and womanism. I just wanted to clarify that I do believe very strongly in the validity of womanism as an alternative to feminism for women who feel that the feminist movement has and is not serving their needs. I have learned a lot from womanist bloggers (such as Renee) as some other commenters have mentioned.
I guess I also want to explain that the people who I have spoken to on this topic did not appear to know much about feminism in general, so the idea of the difference between feminism and womanism, I doubt would have crossed their mind, or been easily understood by them.

What do you drink with oysters on the half shell? Jen and I usually have wine, normally a Muscadet, but we recently found ourselves with BeauSoleil oysters but no appropriate wine.
So Jen challenged me to come up with an appropriate cocktail to pair with oysters. We wanted something crisp, aromatic, and lightly briny. We had no olives for a martini, but I remembered a drink I had made some time ago and wanted to revisit: the Paez.
This drink originated at Little Branch in Manhattan, but I first heard of it through Paul Clarke's blog, Cocktail Chronicles. A fine-grained sea salt is important here because it blends well with the liquids, and is subtle in the drink–almost unnoticeable, but present enough to marry drink and bivalve in a pleasing way.
- 2½ oz. gin
- ½ oz. dry vermouth
- 6 dashes Peychaud's bitters
- pinch sea salt
Technique: Stir with ice, strain into chilled cocktail glass, garnish with lemon twist.

2011 Southerly Speadwave 32
- Description
- View Full Specifications
- Year:
- 2011
- Hull Material:
- Fiberglass
- Length:
- 33'
- Engine/Fuel Type:
- /
Crisp hull lines are complimented by the sweeping sheer of the teak deck unencumbered by visible mooring, furling or sail controls.
The Speadwave 32 will make the perfect daysailer, offering an exhilarating sail, with the hull, deck and supporting structure engineered to ensure excellent performance and the responsive twin rudder steering system giving precise directional stability. Combined with a carbon mast, trough boom, fractional swept back spreader rig and single line reefing, the yacht is powerful, yet easily controlled and can be sailed by just one person.
The upwind sail area is divided between furling self tacking jib and fully battened mainsail with boom stacking system. Offwind performance can be easily turbocharged by hoisting the masthead asymmetric gennaker that tacks in front of the headstay, avoiding the weight and complexity of a bowsprit.
The helmsman has been provided with his own ultimate area to sit or stand at either of the twin helm stations. This enviable position offers a clear view forward whilst maintaining intimacy with guests.
All the sail controls are led aft, within easy reach of the helm, with twin powered winches controlling the mainsail and self taking jib with ease.
The open cockpit is spacious, designed for total comfort, without compromise. Guests can enjoy the 'close to the water' sailing experience from the dedicated seating area, which is protected from the elements by the coamings, sweeping down from the coach roof. Ample 'sofa seating' and a removable table provides an ideal environment for entertaining and alfresco dining. There is a clear path between the twin wheels to the open aft deck for lounging, swimming, or just trailing your feet in the water.

DeGette talks to East Colfax businesses
U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette met with business owners on East Colfax Avenue today to ask how Congress can help them expand their businesses and create "sustainable" jobs.
The Denver Democrat first met privately with the Colfax Business Improvement District Board roundtable. She then walked the neighborhood to see "first-hand both the challenges local businesses face and the extraordinary progress many of them have made," according to a news release.
The Colfax BID describes itself as a quasi-governmental entity that represents businesses and property owners from Grant to Josephine and 14th to 16th avenues.

Madonna has hit back after she was criticized for showing off a picture of her son holding liquor bottles, insisting the teenager was not drinking
The superstar sparked outrage by uploading a photograph of 13-year-old Rocco holding bottles of spirits, with the caption, "The party has just begun! Bring it! 2014."
The pop star received a barrage of messages from her Instagram.com followers accusing her of encouraging underage drinking, but Madonna has hit
back by insisting Rocco and his friends didn't actually consume the booze.
In the caption attached to a second picture of her son with a friend, which did not feature bottles of alcohol, Madonna wrote, "No one was drinking we were just having fun! Calm down and get a sense of humor! Don't start the year off with judgement!"

It would be pretty cool if you could choose the race that your crew is. (Rather than being a puny human) And this would affect the way enemy ships interact with you. For example if you were a alien, then your alien buddies wont attack you you, however then the humans would attack you. Just a thought, I think it would be cool though.

Re: Races
This will be possible in Galaxies because it is much more non-linear and free form a la "The Sims". For the original game we have discussed it, and it is on the wish list, but we always come back to the issue of what does playing as another species bring to the table? Does the story need to change? Is there enough added to the game's entertainment or fun value with just the ability to play as a "skinned" different species? How much extra (story, gameplay mechanics, etc) is necessary, if at all, beyond just a visual change for it to be effective?
"I see dead codes, and create instances of Deja-vu in the galaxy."

For Philadelphia sports fans, the week past was a cause for celebration.
The Eagles, freshly freed from the constraints of the lockout, traded quarterback Kevin Kolb to the Arizona Cardinals and received cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie in return. They snagged former Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young as Michael Vick's backup.
Then, in a deal that stunned the league, the Birds signed cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, this year's premier free agent, giving them the three best corners in the league.
They also picked up defensive end Jason Babin from Tennessee and defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins from Green Bay.
Meanwhile, the Phillies traded some highly touted prospects to Houston for right fielder Hunter Pence, giving the team the right-handed bat that manager Charlie Manuel and the vociferous talk-radio voices (as well as some voices who are sane) have been calling for.
Philly fans aren't the only ones impressed. During last Saturday's Fox coverage of the baseball game between the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals, Joe Buck and Tim McCarver were talking about the baseball trades that had taken place as Sunday's 4 p.m. deadline approached.
At that point Buck said that it had been a great week for Philadelphia. He then went on to note that the classiest organizations in MLB and the NFL play a across the street from each other in South Philadelphia. McCarver, no stranger to these parts, agreed wholeheartedly, and the love fest was on.
It was nice to hear two respected sports voices talking about the hometown teams in such a positive way.
The Phillies had been a very successful team in the 1970s and early 1980s, going to the post season regularly and winning the World Series in 1980 for their first-ever world championship. They returned to the Series in 1983 but lost to Baltimore.
For the next two decades, with the exception of that surprising and delightful 1993 team that almost won it all again, the Phils were – how to say this? – awful. Management tried to turn things around, but the impression was that while they remained in Veterans Stadium there wasn't going to be the money to put the team on a winning track.
When the decision was made to build two new stadiums for the teams, hope for the Phils future began to be felt at Broad and Pattison and around the city.
In 2003 the Phillies signed the great Cleveland Indians first baseman Jim Thome. People began to believe – as they had in 1979 when Pete Rose was lured away from Cincinnati – that the team was serious about winning.
Thome's signing was just the first significant change for the franchise. The second was Citizens Bank Park. The new facility, and the team Thome led into it, was a major source of revenue. As a result the suits were able to invest in what is currently thought to be the best team in baseball.
Part of the growth necessitated trading Thome to the Chicago White Sox after the 2005 season. This was done to give Ryan Howard, who had proved he was ready for prime time as a replacement for an injured Thome much of that year, the first baseman's job full-time.
He, and the other home-grown players like Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Cole Hamels, would lead the team to their first playoffs in 14 years in 2007. They would win it all the following year.
That squad – with the addition pitching aces Roy Halliday, Cliff Lee and Roy Oswalt – turned the team into perhaps the most feared team in the National League.
Hunter Pence's addition last Friday is just another example of the team's commitment to winning.
As the trade talks were floating around last week, there was some talk the Phils might go after Jim Thome as a bat off the bench. He and Manuel are like father and son – he's almost 41 and having a disappointing season due to what he calls "aches and pains" – and he's only three home runs away from becoming the eighth player to reach 600 home runs.
In discussing the possibility of Thome returning to Philadelphia to end his career with his mentor Charlie Manuel, the smart guys who cover the team every day say that what might happen is this: Thome will remain in Minneapolis through the end of August, likely getting the three homers needed to reach 600 with the Twins. When the rosters expand Sept. 1, Thome – one of the classiest, best liked and most respected players in the sport – would then end his career either by coming to Philadelphia or going to Cleveland where he spent his first 12 major league years.
Let's hope he comes to Philadelphia. It would add more proof, as if more proof is needed, that the Phils are what Buck and McCarver said they are: the classiest organization in baseball.
But, as KYW's Jack O'Rourke said over brunch in the press dining room on Sunday, if Thome does return, where are they going to put all the people who would want to see him play? The Phils just had their 182nd consecutive sellout.
I dunno, Jack, but I'd sure as hell like to find out.

Tens of thousands of Malaysians gathered today at Stadium Merdeka. Contrary to what the Minister of Home Affairs would like to believe, there was no unrest, no chaos and no violence which would go down in history to yet again mark this day with the likes of earlier demonstrations in the city.
The police were not required to assemble in thousands in the city. They did not have to stand in line in the sun up against their own fellow Malaysians. The water cannons didn't have to be used. Not only that, there were no arrests. There was no makeshift police station specifically set up to house the thousands of people arrested. There was no need for the police to send out teams of investigating officers who would need to work tirelessly taking down statements from all those arrested.
There was also no need for lawyers to be lined up outside these stations all night waiting for access to those detained. There was no need for the families of those detained to worry about their safety not knowing their whereabouts or what was to happen to them next.
There were no incidents in which anyone was injured. There was no overturning of cars, no scenes of persons being shot at by water canons or running in fear or being chased or beaten by the police.
There were no scenes of people, old or young, drenched with chemically laced water, with their eyes swollen, having difficulties breathing. There were no reported incidents of people dying on the streets.
All in all there are no news reports published to the rest of the world wherein we the people of Malaysia are depicted as criminals who run riot in our own country in need of attack from our own police.
There were no scenes of drenched streets, closed businesses and destruction of public property.
It wouldn't be out of place to say that today, we the Malaysian people proved the Home Minister and his government wrong. We proved to him and the rest of the world, that we are peace-loving and that we are mature enough to hold demonstrations peacefully in our own country.
This is a serious embarrassment both nationally and internationally for Home Minister, Dato Seri Hishamuddin Hussein. And it is evidence of the fact that the government has all along underestimated the capabilities of us Malaysians and has failed to change with the times. It has failed to recognise that Malaysia has indeed changed and is in further need of change in particular with regard to government mindset.
The government was convinced that we Malaysians were a rowdy lot, that we wanted unrest and that the sole purpose of gatherings of this nature was to overthrow it with the use of force. It failed to listen to us and to accept our demands to gather peacefully as guaranteed under the constitution.
Despite the threats, violence, persecutions and even loss of life, Malaysians nevertheless pushed on with the reform agenda and today proved Hishamuddin and Barisan Nasional wrong.
Hishamuddin must be a man. He must accept that he has been sorely wrong, that what he put Malaysians through in the previous gatherings were totally unnecessary, a total waste of public funds and an unnecessary use of force and violence upon us.
Hishamuddin's handling of the previous gathering also put Malaysia in extremely bad light in terms of international publicity.
He must now apologise to all Malaysians and step down honorably as Minister of Home Affairs. He has not only failed us. He has, to my mind, also failed Malaysia.

|Diving Coach
Dave Maliar begins his seventh season as the Blue Devil diving coach. Each of the past two seasons Maliar has been named Diving Coach of the Year in the Northeast Conference. At the championship meet, he has coached CCSU divers to first and second place finishes in both the one-meter and three-meter events during the last two seasons.
After graduating from CCSU in 2004, Maliar began coaching Central Connecticut divers to many individual accolades. In 2005, Juliana DiPlacido won both the one and three-meter events and broke the NEC record on the three-meter board. Maliar coached her to the NCAA Diving Regionals, a first for any CCSU competitor. DiPlacido, who won on both boards as a freshman, took home the one-meter crown in 2004. In 2006, he guided Kristen Rossi to a Northeast Conference title on the one-meter board, which led to her first NEC Diver of the Year award.
Maliar was a four-year member of the Windsor High School swimming and diving team, which won a pair of conference titles. Maliar was also a member of the Central men's diving team for two seasons. He earned a ninth-place finish on the one-meter and a third-place finish on the three-meter diving boards on the collegiate level at the 2002 Northeast Conference Men's Swimming Invitational.
The first member of his family to attend college, Maliar was a Dean's List student while completing a Bachelor's Degree in communication.

Southern Company names Kim Greene president and CEO of Southern Company Services
Feb 20, 2013, 04:37 ET
ATLANTA, Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern Company Chairman, President and CEO Thomas A. Fanning today announced that Kimberly S. Greene has been elected president and CEO of Southern Company Services, Inc. She will also have a seat on the company's management council. Greene will succeed Susan N. Story, who is retiring from Southern Company to become chief financial officer of New Jersey-based American Water. The announced changes will take effect April 1.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080801/SOCOLOGO)
"Susan has been an extraordinary leader at Southern Company," said Fanning. "She rose to the highest ranks of our company, due to her sharp focus on finance, operations and customer service. We call these the 'whats.' But equally important are the 'hows', and Susan Story is world class at both."
Greene is currently executive vice president and chief generation officer of TVA. Previously, Greene served as TVA's chief financial officer, executive vice president of Financial Services and chief risk officer. She was also group president for Strategy and External Relations at TVA.
Prior to joining TVA in 2007, Greene was senior vice president of finance and treasurer at Southern Company, where she began her career.
"Kim is one of us," Fanning said. "We are so fortunate to have her returning to Southern Company. She has demonstrated excellence in nearly every facet of our industry, and our customers and the employees who serve them will benefit from her wide range of expertise."
In her new role, Greene will be responsible for overseeing the company's information technology, human resources, supply chain management, marketing services, business performance services and system aircraft functions, as well as SouthernLINC Wireless, Southern Company's wireless telecommunications provider, and Southern Telecom, the company's wholesale fiber optic network provider. She will also lead efforts surrounding the company's Smart Energy efforts, which include emerging technologies involving energy innovation, energy efficiency and customer energy choices.
Greene earned a bachelor's degree in engineering science and mechanics from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She earned a master's degree in biomedical engineering from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and a master's in business administration from Samford University. She also completed the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School.
Greene is on the advisory boards for the University of Tennessee College of Engineering and the University's Department of Finance. She is also on the board of the Electric Power Research Institute and will assume the chairmanship in April.

When it comes to making boneheaded choices, teenagers usually win society's award for overall poor decision-making.
Yet a study published recently in the journal PNAS suggests that our ability to make wise choices changes over time, and actually declines with old age.
In fact, the study found that in certain situations, the decision-making ability of people older than 65 was worse than that of adolescents. While teens were more apt to drive carelessly, study authors argued that seniors were more likely to make poor medical or financial decisions.
"We found that even the healthiest of elders show profoundly compromised decision-making," wrote senior study author Ifat Levy, an assistant professor of comparative medicine and neurobiology at Yale University in Connecticut.
The study involved 135 men and women between ages 12 to 90. Each was assigned a sum of money -- $125 -- and then asked a series of "lottery questions." The questions were designed to gauge risk aversion, consistency of thought and rationality.
Seniors "disturbingly" chose irrational wager options 25% of the time, according to the study authors. An example of an irrational choice would be to bypass a sure gain of $5 in favor of an ambiguous or risky choice to win the same amount of cash.
By contrast, adolescents chose irrational options 10% of the time, while young and midlife adults chose them only 5% of the time.
Seniors were far more cautious than the other age groups when choosing between two possible cash gains. If faced with the option of receiving $5 for certain, or a lottery that paid $20 with a 50% chance of winning, seniors chose the $5.
When seniors faced a choice between two losses, however, such as losing $5 for certain or choosing a lottery in which they stood a 50% chance of losing $20 or nothing, they chose the riskier option with the higher potential loss.
Seniors also lacked consistency, the authors found. When a certain question was asked four times, seniors switched their answers "significantly" more than all other age groups and roughly twice as often as adults ages 21 to 50, the authors found.
The authors argued that the pattern of decision-making among elder participants in the study was not a function of illness or age-related dementia. The 36 seniors who participated in the study were all screened and determined to be healthy.
Levy said the findings fall in line with a growing body of research that suggests older adults make decisions detrimental to the wealth, health and general well-being. For instance, they generally borrow at higher interest rates, incorrectly estimate property values and pay more fees to financial institutions.
The reason for such behavior remained a mystery, but it did raise potential policy issues, considering that seniors are more likely to fail to choose health plans correctly and more likely to make voting errors, the authors wrote.
"The decrease in consistency and rationality may be due to a general reduction in cognitive function, which occurs even in healthy aging, although we were surprised that it is so extreme," Levy said.
"As for the risk preferences, it may be that as they are getting closer to the end of their life, people assume that it is less likely for uncertain events to actually happen to them, which drives them to take less risks with gains, but more risks with losses," Levy said. "But that is pure speculation – more research is needed to understand these phenomena."

Total RecallTotal Recall is a look back at the history of video games through their characters, franchises, developers and trends.
I'm not normally one to indulge in "TOP TEN THINGS OF THIS THING" lists, but when they involve badass box art from 1980s and 90s PC games, I can't help it.
Topless Robot put together their list of "10 Insanely Badass DOS Game Boxes", and it's good reading, mostly because they know the worth of Saboteur II: Avenging Angel's front cover (Panthers! Swords!), but also because they pay homage to Crime Wave, a PC game I'm really going to have to get around to featuring here soon.
For the record, top spot went to Sega's Crack Down, not to be confused with Microsoft's Crackdown, because one has a giant devil goat man on the cover, and the other was an Xbox 360 game that did not.

Peripheral Neuropathy
Mar 28, 2011
In the summer of '09 I started having numbness in hands and feet. I blamed it on amiodarone (heart med.), not knowing I was also HIV and HCV +. Dr. prescribed B12 shots, I stopped taking the amiodaron and gradually improved. Now I wonder if it was caused by HIV or HCV? In Dec. '10 I was diagnosed with HIV/HCV, am on lamivudine, stavudine and efavirens now for 2 months. I have had, for 9 months, rashes, itches, excessive eczema and "hot" skin that drives me nuts sometimes with itching. I take telfast 180 to reduce allergy reactions, thought no allergies. I think that helps, but! Any thoughts? Thanks, Rod
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Rod,
HIV could have been the cause or a contributing factor in your peripheral neuropathy. It's somewhat difficult to determine with certainty in retrospect. I should point out that peripheral neuropathy has been linked to stavudine, one of the antiretroviral drugs you have recently started taking. I would advise talking with your HIV specialist and switching off stavudine as soon as possible. There are many newer, more potent, better tolerated, safer antiretrovirals from which to choose!
Regarding your skin issues, I would recommend you see an HIV-knowledgable dermatologist. HIV can cause skin conditions to flare, but with proper treatment they can usually be well controlled.
I'll repost below some information about peripheral neuropathy from the archives.
Good luck.

reversing neuropathy (TREATMENT OF PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY, 2010) Sep 17, 2010
Just want to know if there is anything i can do to reverse neuropathy in my toes and feet. i am 46, male, fit and healthy, v/l undetctable, cd4 approx 500. i am told it was caused by stavudine which i stopped taking about a year ago, greatly reduceing the problem. however i still have it, and it isnt going away. i am currently on isentress and truvada, i am also taking l-carnatine and co-q 10.what can i do to heal this problem? also on another topic do you thoink TRIM5a will prove to be a genuine HIV cure? and if so what would the time line likely be, assuming it all goes well? thanks heaps, you guys rock-hard.
Response from Dr. Frascino
D4T-induced distal sensory neuropathy is indeed annoying! (I have it as well.) We don't have a quick (or even slow) fix for this side effect/toxicity yet. I'll repost below a link to a recent article which provides information about neuropathy that summarizes where we are in diagnosing and treating this uncomfortable condition.
As for TRIM5a, it's way too early to predict if it will be a "genuine HIV cure" or how long it will take to get to prime time (be readily accessible). So the best I can offer is to recommend you stay tuned. We'll keep yo posted as more information on this and other potentially promising treatment options becomes available. In the meantime, I'll try to stay "rock hard."

For the last 37 years, Keene Valley, NY's Mountaineer outdoor shop has been the hub for the great Adirondack area. The small town of 1,000 is the gateway for throngs of adventurers who play in the vast wilderness of upstate New York. Living at the base of the range on Route 73, owner Vinny McClelland says they're on "the main drag for the all the surrounding small towns—like Montreal, Albany, New York City, Philadelphia and Boston."
The shop itself is a 5,000 square foot open-air barn, with a high vaulted ceiling and exposed beams and framework. An antiquated wooden canoe hangs suspended above the shop floor, as artifacts of climbing and other trappings of outdoor history line the walls. Much of the Mountaineer's merchandise is cleverly displayed, offering a unique browsing experience to anyone who passes through the front door. A recently renovated book room was re-attached after Tropical Storm Irene did structural damage to the building. The addition remains true to the shop's rustic allure, yet introduces a slightly modern feel as well.

NRA responsible for kids' murders
I don't yet have the names of those children or their teachers yet, but we do know who is responsible for corrupting our political system so that it tolerates the killing of children: the NRA. One thing that needs to happen now: Determined gatherings at the NRA HQ in Fairfax, Virginia, just across the Potomac from Washington, D.C. Gatherings utterly committed to nonviolence, which the NRA is not.
Sitting down, sitting in, chanting the names of those 20 children over and over again, interspersed with the chant "Hey, hey, NRA, how many kids did you kill today?" (resurrected from the nonviolent campaign against the Vietnam War, which pointlessly killed 50,000 American and a million Vietnamese)
Risking arrest – demanding that the NRA publicly and clearly abandon and reverse its opposition to a federal comprehensive gun-control law. And warning every member of Congress that any one of them who accepts any campaign contributions or lobbyist perks from the NRA will be confronted with serious cash donations to his or her opponent.
The NRA has corrupted American culture. It must return to the service of real hunters or get out of business. May the light we light in the dark time of the year light our path to begin sweeping violence out of our homes, our schools, our country.
"Not by might, and not by violence, but by My Spirit, My Breath, My Wind, My Hurricane of social change, says YHWH, the Breathing-Spirit of all life." (The quotation is from the Prophetic passage from Zechariah 4:6, read this very Shabbat in the midst of the Festival of Light in the time of Dark.)
Please share this letter with your friends, congregants, co-workers. With blessings that we make REAL shalom, salaam, pax, paz, peace!

Kiosks will keep me out of Chestnut Hill
No more strolling the streets of Chestnut Hill for me! Gone are the days when one could walk up and down and look into all the lovely shop windows. I only go there now for necessity – and always in a rush to get back to my car. I can't calculate how long I will be there most of the time so I just don't go. And sometimes the kiosks don't register all the time I've put in. They have ruined the pleasures of Chestnut Hill.

Many thanks to
Meals on Wheels
We are grateful to Meals on Wheels for the nutritional meals brought to us Monday through Friday by volunteers who really care about us. The volunteers who deliver our meals come each day at about the same time and treat us like friends. It is a bright spot in our day.
We are homebound and see few people so we count our blessings when the volunteers arrive. They supply delicious and nutritional food and are social contacts.
We thank Meals on Wheels and the volunteers for their kindness and consideration.

Thanks, Gilmores!
Please tell Janet Gilmore that I loved her column and her adventure at becoming "Customer of the Month" at Acme (Dec. 13). I am very impressed that she dressed well for the occasion too. Love her sense of humor.
And as for Hugh Gilmore, it is indeed disastrous that libraries will no longer be repositories of books for the ages. I've had trouble finding good new reading lately, so I dove into my own bookcase and came up with two James Thurber books that have been entertaining me mightily. What a fine, fine writer he was.
The Books are: "The Thurber Album" and "My World and Welcome To It."
And Hugh, thank you for reminding us to be good readers every week.

College signs violate zoning
The article in last week's Local about CHCA's Land Use Planning and Zoning Committee's approval of new signs for the entrance to Chestnut Hill College neglected to address the fact that the college is appealing the City Department of Licenses and Inspections' decision that that "proposed two pedestal signs mounted on the coping of an existing fence wall is not permitted in this zoning district."
Specifically L&I stated that zoning in this residential neighborhood requires a 35 foot setback from Germantown Avenue and a maximum height of fence wall of 5 feet. In its application to L&I the college proposed a setback of zero feet and a height of 8 feet. At the meeting we heard that the sign itself will be over nine feet tall and nine feet wide on top of a stone wall of 4 feet. The sign will be as tall as the driveway pillars! There was no discussion at the LUPZ meeting about how the new signage could be accomplished without intruding on the streetscape and such gross deviation from the zoning code.
While the college denies that it is planning similar signage for the Sugarloaf property, we know that it has planned a new main entrance at the intersection of Hillcrest and Germantown. It is hard to imagine that it will not incorporate the design of the main campus entrance onto the Sugarloaf wall, which is even higher.
Imagine what residential North Chestnut Hill would look like if all the educational and cultural institutions erected two 9-foot signs on the property line on top of existing stone walls or estate fencing!

Thanks for help with adoptions
So many of my wonderful cat adoptions would not have occurred this year without the generosity of Len Lear and the Chestnut Hill Local, which runs photos of the cats I rescue from the unkind streets of Philadelphia.
All my furry friends join me in expressing a sincere thank you for enabling the Local readers to connect with outstanding cats seeking a human's companionship and love.
Please check out my blog to meet some of the outstanding fosters dreaming of "furever" homes (http://brendascatrescue.blogspot.com/). Wishing everyone Happy Holly Spays & a Neuter Year!

Article in Local worked for Babs
Thanks so much for posting about Babs in the Local last week. (Ed. note: Babs is a 13-year-old cat whose owner, Laurie Keeler, of Mt. Airy, died suddenly.) Laurie and I were partners. Thankfully we are like so many now, "Out and proud."
That is a very cool thing you do posting pictures of animals who need a home … putting a furry face to an animal in need. And it brings animal adoption to peoples' minds.
Babs is on her way to Pittsburgh today. After a little tiny bit of "interrogation," Laurie's best friend from high school finally decided to take her. But the Local article worked! Someone called yesterday, which would have been the best bet for Babs, but we had just made all the arrangements with Gail.
We are keeping her number, though, in case it doesn't work out.
Our Portuguese Water Dog Abbi, and I are hanging in with each other through this sudden and unbearable trauma in our lives. I don't know what I would do without her constant presence. She also misses Laurie terribly. She still "perks" and wags if she is on the porch and hears a car door close or "alarm" that was like Laurie's.
Thank you again for what you do for the gentle creatures.
