Skip to comments.'The New Gay Teenager'
Posted on 08/13/2005 10:25:42 PM PDT by scripter
click here to read article
We (society as a whole) need to get educated on the subject that gays can successfully leave the lifestyle.
Checkout: I Do Exist and People Can Change. Check my profile for pointers to the latest information.
I've never felt my sexuality to be fluid. I still remember the summer when I was 12 and girls suddenly became interesting and scary in a way that required absolutely no thought or reflection on my part.
This whole article is a load of ....
For most folks it doesn't feel fluid at all - it depends on numerous factors with environment being the major factor. The entire issue is quite complicated and cannot be easily summarized, although IMO the following article does an excellent job of it: How might homosexuality develop? Putting the pieces together
Got news for 'ya: we've got 3rd-year college kids at work (a semester-long cooperative-studies program with a very notable East Coast 'polytechnic') and almost 2 out of 3 of the kids already don't quite act like they're "screwed together the right way 'round", so to speak
"The new gay teen will be attracted to both male and female"
Also know as bisexuals. Nothing new about it.
Greedy bastards if you ask me. LOL
The issue of bisexuals have always been a problem for proponents of the born gay theory. And lately the growing number of ex-gays are providing even more problems to the born gay proponents. It's possible this article is the forerunner to a whole new tact at normalizing homosexuality.
Ever since they took Biology out of the schools and replaced it with "sex ed" taught by homosexuals, pedophiles and other sexual deviants, teen-aged, young skulls full of mush have become confused as to what gender they are. Bring back Biology.
This guy sounds like Professor DeCecco at SFU, who just so happened to be the editor of PAIDIKA - a publication similar to what NAMBLA members might subscribe to.
And they can also turn into resilient, coping, healthy heterosexuals. They just need to know that option is available...
But the sodomites appear to be pushing their vile, destructive agenda ever harder each new school year.
I really believe we can help stop their agenda by educating parents, pastors, community leaders and youth (age appropriate) of the growing number of ex-gays.
Gee, Imaging pulling down $100,000 a year to as a professional pedophile and having tenure and complete immunity from prosecution. Michael Jackson is going about his hobbies in a very inefficient way
Ritch C. Savin-Williams
Professor, HD, Martha Van Rensselaer Hall , Cornell University
Current Professional Activities
Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies; and Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Studies
Current Research Activities
Dr. Savin-Williams' current research interests focus on the psychological well-being of same-sex attracted youth and adults.
Now they are honored teachers and professors, and practically brag about their access to teens.
Bingo. What you said. GMTA.
Speaking of schools and what is taught there..
It was over 15 years ago, shoot 20 years ago, I was in middle school and we had a sex ed class. There were diagrams of how STD's could be transmitted and where they could be transmitted. Anyway, I remember looking at the male and female figures and wondering why the male(and female but more importantly the male) diagrams had a red dot on the @ss.
I was not real sure what that meant. How can a man get a STD from his @ss? Well wake up America that was 20 years ago and I bet they got better graphics now and also have people willing to tell you how that can happen, even if you don't want to know.
Any freepers that still have their children in school ever sit in on the "Sex Ed" class? I would love to hear the juicy details. Seriously, I think we need to reign in the out of control education system in this country.
I pray if I have to send my new boy to a public school that some teacher doesn't tell me he has to take some drugs because he can't sit still in class. If I don't hurt the teacher I will make sure they lose there job!
About 8 years ago I was stationed in Va Beach, VA and one of my buddies was dating a teacher. This teacher taught normal elementary school children. Over 50% of these kids had to take pills during the schoold day. WTF is that? I had one guy allergic to white milk in my school. It is an outrage! Kids standing in line after recess to gulp down a pill because the teacher can not control, or interest them. Or, perhaps the teachers have been neutered in their ability to keep the kids attention, i.e. not able to punish bad children.
Writing this just made me more pissed. If it had the same effect reading it sorry folks but we as a nation need to be more pissed.
What!!? It took you 12 years to know it?
This whole discussion firms up my feeling: I WOULD RATHER CUT OFF MY RIGHT ARM THAN TO SEND MY KIDS TO A PUBLIC SCHOOL
Things have certainly changed everywhere. ONE generation ago, parents big worry was grades. And now? It's a constant battle over the physical and spiritual welfare, on top of marks. Everyone wants a piece of your kids. Remember Channel One? They promised educational TV in class would modernize education and give more time to teacher/child interaction. What crap! It degenerated into commercialism and indoctrination in no time. Who could have ever imagined gay activists getting class time to indoctrinate and normalize homosexuality and getting FULL support from teacher's unions and school boards. And now, Ritalin and Prozac for 7 year-olds- to raise their grades, to give them the best shot at life. Horsesh!t! ADHD is a marketing invention of Ciba Gigi-period. The disorder simply didn't exist when I was in school-now 1/3 of kids have this "physical" disease? Riiight. Don't look to the FDA to step in and put a stop to it. Big Pharma owns academic medicine and the DSM. These people are FRIENDS with each other since med school and business college. They golf and go to the same spas together. Could they stop the massive fraud behind Vioxx, PhenPhen, Progesterone, Ritalin and off-labelling SSRIs? Poor kids. You're right, Booka, it is all gone. School is a very dangerous place in 2005. (/rant)
I've never felt my sexuality to be fluid.
I still remember (when I was about 12) the first time my sexuality became fluid .
Then they should be told to get the f$%k over it because only two genders exist.
To you and me, sure. For today's youth (and some adults), it's all about how you feel on the inside at any specific time. The issue of gay teens being attracted to male or females could be the launching of a new type of sexuality with a mix of transgenderism.
""Gay Cornell University Professor Ritch Savin-Williams argues that teenagers are rejecting gender categories in their pursuit of satisfying sexual relationships. And, he's encouraged by the trend."'
so homosexuality is a choice, not something your born with?
That would be a logical conclusion to the article, but that's definitely not what they are trying to communicate. What's unfortunate is they can't see the obvious or they refuse to see the obvious.
it is sort of like the left promoting pro-choice and pro-gay is something youre born with messages.
then I guess it is ok to abort fetuses that are suspected to be gay
we as a nation need to be more pissed.
I can't say this enough. Our culture needs to get educated on the subject and take action but few ever really do anything about it. IMO, more folks (many, many more) need to yank their kids out of public schools.
An average boy loses the 'icky' feeling they have for girls by age 7 - 8, after that, the 'icky' feeling is used due to peer pressure, when, deep inside, they don't consider girls to be that much 'icky'. 12 is a bit late, but don't worry, different people grow up differently.
Sounds like a pedophile to me. Why isn't this pervert in prison?
Because in academia, gay activists have replaced the term pedophilia with the more benign "intergenerational love" That way predators like Savin-Williams can indulge and get funding for their perversions. Read this individual's published reseach- it's basically just his sickness dressed up in academic weasel words in his desperate attempt to feel normal.
After the 9th circus ruling that we have no right to object to what is taught in public school, I'll definitely be finding a way to get my daughetr out.
Mine is. I drift from blondes to brunettes to redheads, all in about an hour.
He admits he skewed the research, molded it to fit the researchers, misled teens - or what we used to call 'lied'. Little wonder, then, that he was such a follower of the 'research' of Kinsey et al.
In Chapter 7, "First Sex," Savin-Williams introduces the subject of gay childhood sexual experiences by noting that Alfred Kinsey and his associates were the first to systematically explore the "onset and nature of sexuality during childhood." (p. 133)
I wonder, does he follows up the research with the effects of his pan-sexuality tweaking - i.e. is it fair then given what he's said about how he's invented (misled) his research, to assume that some straight teens, teens without pan-sexual leanings, have been misled or coerced or suggested to try sexuality that didn't feel led to and may have led to conflict?
"Gay Cornell University Professor Ritch Savin-Williams argues that teenagers are rejecting gender categories in their pursuit of satisfying sexual relationships. And, he's encouraged by the trend."
The problem is the growing influence of NAMBLA, the North American Man Boy Love Association. One of their objectives is the repeal of age of consent laws.

I gave a few of them reviews of my own. I'm curious if Amazon will allow a different "opinion" to be listed. Or do they require 5 star reviews?
City of Evil Bump!
Read later.
The guy's parents couldn't spell his first name and he can't figure out what his last name should be. No wonder he can't figure out what sex is.
It makes more and more sense.

Let me repeat that. St. Bart's is behind other area schools by a few grade levels. Not by one grade level. Not by two. By A FEW. I remember doing math and history in St. Bart's that I had already had three YEARS earlier in public school. St. Bart's was behind by three grade levels. Some of my St. Bart's classmates were put into remedial classes once they graduated and went to public school because they could not pass basic skills tests.
Keep in mind: St. Bart's charges parents TUITION for their children to attend this school...and then the children graduate and end up in remedial classes to catch up to their better-educated public-school peers??!!!!!!
Then there is the regime that runs the place, a group of sadistic nuns that could have trained the Gestapo called the Religious Teachers Filippini. Do not let the "Filippini" part of their name fool you - they are an Italian order, not one from the genteel Philippines. The Filippini Nuns are an off-the-wall, smolderingly angry Italian order that plays favorites with Italian students, even the most barbaric and ill-behaved Italian brats, and discriminates relentlessly against children who are of Northern European ancestry. Apparently these nuns - somehow - believe that the children of non-Italians were born to be human scapegoats. And scapegoat us they did. Children in this school are subjected to corporal punishment that is like something out of the Inquisition - punched, hit, beaten, berated, yelled at, screamed at, put down, ridiculed, even made to kneel on the floor for an hour at a time as a punishment for some infraction, especially if your name is O'Malley or Dietrich or Lindstrom. I am surprised, in retrospect, not to have witnessed an auto-da-fe perpetrated by the nuns there too, but it wouldn't shock me to hear that was on the Religious Teachers Filippini's agenda if some blonde, blue-eyed, non-Italian child ever blinked the wrong way. I saw one Nordic-looking lad beaten just for smiling once - that was all it took to set the nun off and get her to go ape-s*** ballistic on the poor boy. She beat him until he was flat onto the floor. Had he been dark-haired and borne an Italian surname, this probably would never have happened.
It makes you wonder, doesn't it, just what goes on in this bizarre order of nuns' mother house, that they come out of their convent with the kind of training that makes them think it's "okay" to physically and emotionally torture the children of their own parishioners. What do these nuns think Jesus would do if he were in their shoes - do they think he would have beaten children over nothing, too? As examples go, the ones THESE nuns set for kids were an abomination. Additionally, a lawsuit was brought against a Filippini nun in another New Jersey school who was mistreating a student, but somehow those charges were dropped. In light of the fact that so many victims of Catholic cruelties are paid off, all hearing that those charges were dropped did for me was make me wonder if that student's parents were bribed.
I know that people have tried to approach the Archdiocese of Newark about this awful school. They have tried to approach the archbishop. I even tried, at one point, to contact the Vatican to request that something be done, that at least they investigate this order of nuns to see what has made them the way they are, but all to no avail. NOBODY in the Catholic hierarchy will address the issue of how badly children were, and no doubt still are, treated at St. Bartholomew Interparochial School in Scotch Plains, NJ. Nobody in the Catholic hierarchy will even respond to email about this school. Typical of the Catholics, they just can't get off their pathetic a**es and CONFRONT THEMSELVES about it, let alone face the fact that they screwed up in the way they treated children - yet again - this time at St. Bart's. If any Catholic school is forced to go out of business, I sincerely hope that it's this one. St. Bartholomew Interparochial School's reign of terror has got to end sometime, so I hope the fools in the archdiocese wake up and close the complete and total mess of a place down SOON.

nice moisturizer
Posted by Reviewer1177065 on Apr 21, 2010
I have used Estee Lauder products for years but I want to use more natural skin care products. I was overwhelmed by all the choices. I have purchased a body wash from this company that I like and thought I would try the moisturizer. I like it a lot. It isn't heavy and absorbs quickly into the skin. The downside for me will be in the winter when I will need a stronger moisturizer due to the severe winters here in northern Illinois. But for the summer I like this product for my 50+ age skin.
Superior product
Posted by Reviewer3353605 on Mar 29, 2010
This cream is the best I have experienced of its type. It has a beautiful fragrance and is readily absorbed. More importantly it provides a flattering gloss and is compatible with makeup.
Posted by Reviewer1335758 on Apr 23, 2010
strong offensive smell, which seems very un-natural. had to give away.
Nice, nice baby...
Posted by Reviewer2598294 on Sep 12, 2010
Lovely texture - good basic product for general moisturising - drier skin may need something heavier.
Love this moisturizer!
Posted by existentialevolution on Dec 15, 2011
I've been using these for years and will continue to do so. Natural and chemical free always wins in my book and they are really effective!
My favorite
Posted by Reviewer1980610 on Mar 05, 2012
I've been using this moisturizer for years and can't imagine changing.
Posted by Reviewer1075233 on Dec 16, 2009
Someone had said this was `heavily scented` and I thought I would actually enjoy the strong Lavender scent. But what I found was the Lavender scent is very chemical/ fake smelling, like what I would imagine a lavender detergent to smell like. As a cream it`s just average.
Very good!
Posted by Reviewer1142361 on Jun 27, 2011
A favorite! Been looking for a good under make-up moisturizer and for daily use and Ive found it! Feels so frsh on skin and smells wonderful.
my skin loves this cream
Posted by Reviewer2202204 on Feb 29, 2012
the cream is suitable for normal and oily skin, the pores can be missed, well-moisturizes, well absorbed, it is easy to go to cosmetics.
Excellent product
Posted by Reviewer3329148 on Jan 01, 2012
I continue to use this product and feel that it has kept my skin looking youthful!

I really like the new multi-site capability of WP. The setup my ISP uses allow me to use only "sub folder multi-site". No big problem, I've been moving a few sub-domain blog to a sub-folder setup.
But, now I've stumbled on a small problem. One of the blogs is a family-only, password protected site. I've originally set up this using Apaches ability to password protect sites/folders.
Can I password protect a "sub folder multi-site" in some way?

Changing our Name to Voices.com!
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
May 30, 2006
This is really going to stir things up!
Last week, I alluded to the fact that something exciting was going to happen, and now that the long weekend has passed, it's time to start spreading the word.
InteractiveVoices is changing our name. We're going to be Voices.com!
In the spirit of this future change, let's take a look at our past:
Established in 2004 as a voice-over marketplace (InteractiveVoices.com), our roots run deep in the audio recording business, originally founded as a recording and production studio in the year 2000.
A combination of industry expertise, marketing, and education has nurtured and secured the foundation of Voices.com.
I thought I'd share our mission statement with you as noted on the Voices.com website.
As the largest database of voices online, Voices.com sets out to achieve the following:
1. Make it easy to find voices regardless of language, location, and voice type.
2. Give everyone who uses their voice professionally the ability to be found and heard online.
3. Create a living database of every voice type and language in the world.
4. Be the definitive news source for reporters, journalists and bloggers.
5. Provide talent career guidance and the tools to conduct business online.
You will all be pleased to know that many aspects of the current service you receive will remain the same, including our management team, mailing address, and toll-free telephone number.
We will soon have a different name, and to put it bluntly, a much better name!
What's changed so far?
Here's one:
The new logo, as you can see, is strikingly similar to the current InteractiveVoices logo.
In addition to a new name, Voices.com will receive an updated look and feel, which will prove comfortable and familiar to you. Several new features are in the works at Voices.com, many of which were requested by you, our customers.
Early feedback from the business community has been contagiously positive, generating buzz from all angles and spreading like wild fire.
Why are we changing our name?
Company CEO, David Ciccarelli says, "Voices.com is a name that encompasses the entire industry, dropping the interactive media connotation, opening more doors to our customers. Voices.com is short, obvious, descriptive, and memorable."
I couldn't have said it better myself :)
If you want to help spread the word, blog about this and or link to the new Voices.com website.
The official launch is September 2006.

The first thing I did when I changed to the 4.60 a month plan was call AOL to make sure I would not get charged for just checking my emails using my aol account and software as long as I signed online using my dsl line she said no you will not.
Today I called and they told me something different they said the only way I could check my emails is if I logged on to AOL by using my msn software to navigate myself to their website. They would not refund my money I asked the manager why would I pay 109.00 if I could get unlimited use for 24.00 dollars a month and his reply was sorry you agreed to the terms of use.
So if you want to use a shady company who practices very deceitful business practices use AOL and if you decide to change make sure you completely get rid of them.

@GeorgeDPWyatt Is that all you have to say, stupid fucking idiot, funny how
you come on here and like ive seen youre idiot comments on other vids
saying people cant afford beats just because you have one which is most
likely a fake anyway and just made yourself look like the fool you are
saying that to me, like i said to you before, get a life dickhead.
Author GeorgeDPWyatt ( ago)
Author myparrots1 ( ago)
@GeorgeDPWyatt You keep making yourself look even more of an idiot then you
already are dont you, why dont i make video's of them, Duh, i have video's
up of them idiot which you would have seen. Its funny how idiots/trolls
like you own a pair of beats and theink they are the best in the world and
no one else can afford them when beats are actually shit compared to all
the other headphones you can get for the same price. Also i say $ because
thats the currency i paid in. Get a life.
Author myparrots1 ( ago)
@J52060 I'm glad it was a help to you and hope you get you're money back.
let us know what happens.
Author Joseph Wildy ( ago)
MyParrots - Cheers mate - found I had some fakes because of this and will
get the vendor done for distributing. Ignore the haters - the bird is cool!
Author GeorgeDPWyatt ( ago)
@myparrots1 Well what i dont understand is that if you can 'afford' these
expensive headphones, why not make a video? Also why use $ if you are from
the UK, we use £ here you know???
Author myparrots1 ( ago)
@GeorgeDPWyatt Also regarding me not being able to afford originals, i have
a video up compairing originals to the fakes, also i have video's up of 3
pairs of my earphones that cost between $1099 and $1500 EACH, one of the
"cables" for my earphones costs $1069 so you saying i cant afford crappy
beats is to be laughed at.
Author myparrots1 ( ago)
@GeorgeDPWyatt I find it funny that you talk about someone having fakes
because they cant afford originals yet you dont think about yourself as
someone who cant even afford fakes that they have to watch vids of them
instead. My vids are done to warn people of fakes, this video was the first
video on youtube of fake control talk, i also put up the first video of
fakes of the new version and also the first video of fake studio's! An to
date i have given away 10pairs of originals here on youtube.
Author GeorgeDPWyatt ( ago)
i find it funny because in all of your videos they are fake beats by dre
and you can't afford the real ones! Don't make another video until you have
real ones!

your parrot is jokes hahah

speak English for shit you bitch ass nigger
Author Ayush Singh ( ago)
@myparrots1 dude where do you get fakes beats tours that have controltalk
coz i have 40 quid so cant get real ones and i thought if im gonna buy
fakes i might as well buy the ones with controltalk and as i said quid i
live in the uk haha :) thanks
Author myparrots1 ( ago)
@env1sion The real ones have always come only in the same box as this video
and they still only come in this box.
Author env1sion ( ago)
do any of the real ones come in that non wrap around hinged box? do they
all wrap around with that magnet?
Author lucasnooker ( ago)
lol the bird is the best bit of the vid :L and he bit ur lip when you were
talking lmao
Author myparrots1 ( ago)
@nikhilr51 You really are stupid aint you, anyone can watch any video on
here and they will see that every video on here of the control talk comes
with this same box so the only person who has been mislead is you and now
you think you have a right to mislead everyone else. You're an idiot mate
who dont know what he is talking about and most likely is still using the
buds that came with you're mo3 player. comment on my vids when you actually
know what the fuck you talking about.
Author youtubechannel ( ago)
*sigh* Wow, someone has been horribly mislead. I feel sorry for you mate.
Author myparrots1 ( ago)
@nikhilr51 what in the hell are you talking about, both the originals and
the fake control talk come in that same box that is in this video, have a
look at my original/fake comparrison video. Know what you are talking about
before you open your mouth and mislead people. Also even when the normal
tours were released they came in 2 different boxes and i saw that with my
own eyes at the apple store.
Author youtubechannel ( ago)
Genuine tours do NOT come in that cheaper box.
Author myparrots1 ( ago)
@wiredtunes ebay or just check out some of the fake sites monster mention
on their site. I dont like recomending sites as there are lots of scams
going on, on some of these china sites at the moment i heard.
Author wiredtunes ( ago)
Where can I buy these and the regular ones without control talk? I'm
curious to see the differences between real and fake myself.
Author Mayur Patel ( ago)
your bird is jokes
Author myparrots1 ( ago)
@Z06JFella Because i want to dumb ass, why you watching video's on fakes
numpty dumpty?
Author myparrots1 ( ago)
@ikbenlukas1 check title, i'm sure it says control talk and i get them from
a factory in china.
Author Sandugo168 ( ago)
@k1dn1ce187 Same here, got dr.dre tour beats and I would say it sounded
like the original ones. The b is also machined just like the originals. I
think there are the cheap knock offs and the more expensive ones that are
made to look and sound just like the originals. Had mine tested by a friend
who works as a saleman for monster beats, he actually tought that this were
originals! hahaha I didn't think that my fake beats could fool someone who
works selling beats for a living! ;p
Author myparrots1 ( ago)
@k1dn1ce187 Yes the fakes i have been getting started comming with velcro
ties few months ago and i know alot of the fakes are now supplies with
those ties, i dont know who told you that all fakes come with the wire tie
but that is not true, it is not only me getting them with the velcro tie,
most of the chinese factories now supply them with velcro ties.
Author k1dn1ce187 ( ago)
Do you know if its possible for a fake to come with the cord wrapped with
monsters velcro strap instead of the cheap wire tie? Apparently all fakes
come with the cheap tie and Monster only use the velcro ones but now i'm
starting to wonder...
Author myparrots1 ( ago)
@k1dn1ce187 None of the fakes i ever got came with a sticker, they are done
like the originals, only the really cheap ones have the sticker.
Author k1dn1ce187 ( ago)
@myparrots1 Have you got a pair of fakes with a real b logo? (instead of a
sticker).As im wondering if their starting to properly machine the b
instead of using a sticker? btw your vids are dope mate,keep em coming.
Author groudonkiller92 ( ago)
bird ftw!
Author myparrots1 ( ago)
@k1dn1ce187 most certainly dont sound like originals, i am yet to find a
pair of control talk that does but i do have normal tours that i would say
sound better then the originals, also the quality differs places to places
but not all are rubbish and some you cant even tell the difference, i could
show you the fakes i have and after listening to them you would think that
the originals you have are fakes because they feel better made and sound
Author k1dn1ce187 ( ago)
I've heard alot of people say the fakes sound the same as the real
beats-BULLSHIT-unless theres something wrong with your ears the difference
is immediate and obvious. The fakes sound how they look-cheap,even though
they look the same from a distance once you get them in your hands its just
obvious from the b logo made out of a sticker with air bubbbles under
it(the b should be a machine milled indentation not a fucking sticker) to
the badly made center divider.I know, i've got both...
Author myparrots1 ( ago)
@JoshuaBaldus I buy them directly from the factory in bulk and you wont
find many sellers selling these online as they make less profit on these as
they cost alot more to buy then the normal ones.
Author Josh Baldus ( ago)
Hey I was wondering if you could tell me where you got these from and how
much they cost. I can't find the control talk ones online. Thanks!
Author myparrots1 ( ago)
@riazriazriaz You asked me the same question on my studio video but where
the fake stuio sound rubbish, you can actually get fakes tours that sound
as good as the originals.
Author Jonhhy Bravo ( ago)
hey i'm thinking about buying fake beats by dr dre in-ear earpiece so just
wondering hows the quality?Some ppl says it good while some say it kinda
sucks! So i u ever tried the fake beats let me know abt the quality! thx
Author myparrots1 ( ago)
@misercast What do you mean by they are somewhat limited headphones? if you
mean what i think you do then i cant understand what makes you think that
as these are mass produced and can be bought anywhere. Yes they can be good
with bass driven music but not with much else, you can still get better for
this price with just as good bass and also the rest.
Author misercast ( ago)
Dont't forget they are somewhat limited headphones. They are designed and
tweaked to play: "Bass rich electronic music". They are fantastic (almost
breathtaking) at this purpose (if i could i would buy the originals, i
tested them and they are even better), but both can sound a little
oversaturated if you are planning to use them (mainly) to listen to calmer
music. After all, both are great (if you pay the right price of each one,
of course) .

Moursund Lectures
Moursund Lectures
17-19 May 2016
Peter Ozsváth
Princeton University
Professor Ozsváth will give three lectures on the general theme of
Floer homology and 3-manifolds
- Lecture 1: Holomorphic disks and low-dimensional topology
Abstract: Heegaard Floer homology is a closed three-manifold invariant, defined in joint work with Zoltan Szabo, using methods from symplectic geometry (specifically, the theory of pseudo-holomorphic disks). The inspiration for this invariant comes from gauge theory. I will describe Heegaard Floer homology, motivate its construction, list some of its key properties, and give some of its topological applications.
4pm, Tuesday, 17 May 2016, 145 Straub Hall
- Lecture 2: A knot invariant from grid diagrams
Abstract: Knot Floer homology is an invariant for knots in three-space, which arises naturally when one attempts to understand how Heegaard Floer homology transforms under certain three-dimensional operations. Knot Floer homology has the form of a bigraded vector space, encoding information about the complexity of the knot. The invariant was
originally defined in collaboration with Zoltan Szabo, and indepedently by Jacob Rasmussen. I will describe a combinatorial algorithm for computing this invariant, discovered in joint work with Ciprian Manolescu and Sucharit Sarkar, and further elaborated in joint work with Manolescu, Szabo, and Dylan Thurston. I will also sketch some of the applications of this invariant to knot theory, and some of its connection with other knot invariants.
4pm, Wednesday, 18 May 2016, 110 Fenton Hall
- Lecture 3: Bordered Floer homology
Abstract: I will describe "bordered Floer homology", an invariant for three-manifolds with boundary that generalizes Heegaard Floer homology. The bordered theory associates a differential graded algebra to a parameterized surface; it also assocates a graded module to a three-manifold with boundary. This construction leads to a better conceptual understanding of Heegaard Floer homology, and it also gives a method for computation. Bordered Floer homology was introduced in joint work with Robert Lipshitz and Dylan Thurston. Time permitting, I will also describe a bordered approach to knot invariants, which is joint work with Zoltan Szabo.

Distinguished Lecture Series for Undergraduates
Farshid Hajir (University of Massachusetts) will present a lecture on May 10, 2016 in 145 Straub Hall at 5:15-6:15 pm as part of Distinguished Lecture Series for Undergraduates.
Title: The Jacobi-Legendre Correspondence: A Vignette in the History of Mathematics
Abstract: Once upon a time, a recent math PhD (in Germany) got up the courage to write to one of the world's greatest mathematicians (in France) about the problems he was working on regarding elliptic functions. The Master wrote back a few days later at length and with much praise for the youngster's work. Thus began the correspondence between Carl Gustav Jacob von Jacobi (the youngster) and Adrien-Marie Legendre (the Master). The correspondence is filled with lessons about the process of mathematical discovery, about how mathematicians inspire and compete with each other, as well as wonderful math. This lecture – largely a talk in the history of math – will tour highlights in the Jacobi-Legendre correspondence, famous for richness in mathematical gems. Naturally, the ulterior motive is to introduce the audience to elliptic functions and other mathematical objects that fascinated Jacobi and Legendre.
Niven Lectures
Cameron Gordon, a Professor at the University of Texas at Austin, will visit campus April 6-7, 2016. Professor Gordon will present two lectures as part of the Niven Lectures.
Undergraduate lecture:
Wednesday, April 6 at 4pm in Fenton Hall 110
Title: Knots
Abstract: A knot is just a closed loop in 3-dimensional euclidean space, embedded in some possibly highly tangled fashion. The mathematical study of knots began in the second half of the nineteenth century, motivated by problems in physics, and continues to be an active area of research. Probably the most basic question in knot theory is: is it possible to tell if a knot is really knotted (and if so, how)? It was also recognized early on that any knot becomes unknotted in four dimensions. This leads to the question of how many "jumps" into the 4th dimension are needed to untie a given knot, a question that is still very mysterious. We will describe some of the history of the subject and discuss these questions.
Colloquium lecture:
Thursday, April 7 at 4pm in Straub Hall 145
Title: Left-orderability of 3-manifold groups
Abstract: The fundamental group is a more or less complete invariant of a 3-dimensional manifold. We will discuss how the purely algebraic property of this group being left-orderable is related to two other aspects of 3-dimensional topology, one geometric and the other essentially analytic.

AWM Distinguished Lecture Series
Cristina Ballantine, Professor of Mathematics at College of the Holy Cross, will visit campus January 21 – 22, 2016.
Undergraduate Talk:
Thursday, Jan. 21st at 4pm in Deady 102
Title: Rolle's Theorem for Polynomials over Finite Fields
Abstract: Rolle's Theorem from calculus states that a differentiable function f that takes the same value at two different points must have a horizontal tangent line between them. As a consequence, between any two zeros of f there must be a zero of its derivative function f'.
Is this still true if f is a polynomial and the coefficients of f live in a world different from the real numbers? We will investigate what happens if this new world is a finite field (a finite set in which you can still perform operations similar to addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).
No background beyond linear algebra is needed for this talk.
Colloquium Talk
Friday, Jan. 22nd at 4pm in Deady 208
Title: Graphs and Number Theory
Abstract: Graphs are the mathematical models for networks. Expander graphs are well-connected yet sparse graphs. The expansion property of a regular or bi-regular graph is governed by the second largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. Optimal expanders are called Ramanujan graphs. We will introduce the notion of primes for graphs and define the Ihara-Zeta function and the Riemann Hypothesis in the context of graphs. Graphs satisfying the Riemann Hypothesis are Ramanujan. We will use methods from the representation theory of p-adic groups to construct infinite families of (regular and bi-regular) Ramanujan graphs.
Distinguished Lecture Series for Undergraduates
Tim Chartier (Davidson College) will present a lecture on January 11, 2016 in 207 Chapman Hall at 5:15-6:15 pm as part of the Distinguished Lecture Series for Undergraduates.
Title: Playing from a Laptop: Sports Analytics
Abstract: Sports analytics is a growing field. The larger field of data analytics is exploding as a field requiring skills in mathematics and computer science. What sports projects can be tackled as an undergraduate? This talk will discuss a variety of projects Dr. Tim Chartier of Davidson College has directed with his students, who have ranged from first years to seniors and include math and non-math majors. His projects have varied from helping the German National Basketball Team to his own college teams. He's also aided the NBA, NASCAR, and ESPN. Learn how to play a sport — as a sports analyst!
AWM Distinguished Speaker
Angélica Osorno, an Assistant Professor at Reed College, will visit campus on November 12 – 13, 2015. She will present two lectures, one suitable for undergraduates and the second a colloquium for faculty and graduate students.
Undergraduate Lecture on November 12th at 4 p.m. in Condon 301
Title: Why Should We Care About Category Theory
Abstract: One of the first mathematical concepts we learn as children is counting, and when we do so, we think of counting the number of elements in a specific set. Soon after, we forget about sets and we just consider the abstract numbers themselves. This abstraction simplifies many things, but it also makes us forget about some structure that we had when we were thinking about sets. That structure can be encoded by a category. In this talk we will describe certain concepts in category theory, and you will realize that in most of your mathematics classes you have been working with categories, you just didn't know about it. There will be plenty of examples that will show that category theory provides a unifying language for mathematics, and that many constructions are more naturally understood when they are seen through the categorical lens.
Colloquium on November 13th at 4 p.m. in Deady 208
Title: Why Do Algebraic Topologists Care About Categories
Abstract: The study of category theory was started by Eilenberg and MacLane, in their effort to codify the axioms for homology. Category theory provides a language to express the different structures that we see in topology, and in most of mathematics. Categories also play another role in algebraic topology. Via the classifying space construction, topologists use categories to build spaces whose topology encodes the algebraic structure of the category. This construction is a fruitful way of producing important examples of spaces used in algebraic topology. In this talk we will describe how this process works, starting from classic examples and ending with some recent work.

"A lot of teachers are concerned whether there will be more furlough days," she said. "They want to know are they still going to have furlough days, will they be minimized, will they be at zero, will there be more?"
School board members will discuss the potential for furlough days for the 2012-13 school year at their regular committee meeting today. Pulliam said that because it is early in the budget process, the discussion might not provide definite answers, but she wants to get the conversation started.
Richmond County implemented nine furlough days this year to alleviate a $23.6 million state funding cut. They work out to an average loss of $2,476 for instructors, fewer training days for teachers and less class time for students.
Acting Superintendent James Whitson said the furloughs were a last resort after the system cut back several items and took $10 million from reserves.
Pulliam said she wants the district staff to look at cutting other items from the budget, possibly to restore the furlough days.
Other items to be discussed today include selection of architectural firms for the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax phase IV projects, principal of the new Richmond County Career Technical Magnet School, class size waiver, Georgia prekindergarten program update and addition of physical education courses.

Patient Comments: Vasculitis - Diagnosis
How was your vasculitis diagnosed?
Comment from: bamagirl, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: March 15
I was diagnosed with vasculitis after spending 4 months of doctor appointments to see what was causing the blisters and lesions on my feet and legs. I also have pain and swelling in my feet and legs and a very bad itch.
Comment from: searching, 55-64 Male (Caregiver) Published: December 01
After many blood tests, muscle studies and many doctor visits, he finally had a muscle biopsy done to his calf muscle and it was determined he has vasculitis.
Comment from: DONeal, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: April 21
I was diagnosed by a vascular surgeon who knew that the vein bursts, of which I've had many, are caused by vasculitis. It started in right hand, with pain and numbness of fingers, and spasms that woke me up while I was trying to sleep. The lack of sleep made my lupus worse and I felt myself going a little crazy. Having a diagnosis helps but this is my 4th month and I'm wearing out. The pain and fatigue are awful.
Comment from: River girl, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: July 08
I was diagnosed with vasculitis after an ANCA blood test. I don't have any of the symptoms which they asked me, so I'm really questioning whether I have the disease or not. I've been reading about this for over an hour and see nothing else that points to vasculitis. They want to start me on prednisone and methotrexate. I'm really scared. No biopsy was done.
Comment from: Neeru, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: April 11
I am a 46-year-old female that has been diagnosed with vasculitis polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). My symptoms were lesions on my legs, Raynaud"s syndrome in my fingers and toes, fevers, muscle and joint pain, and fatigue. My doctor says the longer I am on treatment, the better my chances are for a long-term remission. I tried an internist, who suggested right away that it might be vasculitis. I am grateful for the quick diagnosis.
Comment from: Kim, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: August 20
I have had a variety of symptoms for years and no doctor could figure out what was wrong with me. Partly because they never appeared all at the same time. Two years ago I had my large intestine taken out because it would not work well enough to eliminate properly. Now I am wondering if I needed the surgery. I have had joint and tissue pain, extreme fatigue which I was always told it was from be anemia. I have finally been diagnosed with the vasculitis and am now on the cancer drug, steroids and folic acid. At the present time I am having joint pain, fatigue and my inflammation levels are still between 9 and 12, with my doctor wanting them to be much lower.
Comment from: VCaruso, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: February 12
I was misdiagnosed for weeks by my general doctor. I had itchy bumps that felt like my skin was on fire all over my feet, legs, arms and body. They thought I had an allergic reaction and told me to wash everything, stop using any new shampoo, soap, or lotions, and take antihistamines. A doctor who practices both western and eastern medicine took a look at my tongue and skin and said I had vasculitis. He said avoid MSG (monosodium glutamate) and that it was a kind of auto immune disease. He gave me some herbs to restore my immune balance and it went away in a week. I was so amazed I feel I had to share my story in case it could help someone.

AAAG Member Spotlight
Abigail Bigham
Abigail Bigham is the incoming president of AAAG. As an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at University of Michigan, her research program is focused on understanding human genetic adaptation to environmental pressures and how these adaptations affect the range of modern human phenotypic diversity. In particular, Dr. Bigham wishes to understand the adaptive significance of specific phenotypes including those involved in adaptation to high altitude as well as infectious disease resistance and susceptibility. To do so, Dr. Bigham applies a selection mapping approach wherein it is hypothesized that past evolutionary responses to selective pressures impact the distribution of modern healthy phenotypes and disease susceptibility. Such knowledge is likely to profoundly impact our understanding of the genetic control of phenotypic traits as well as identify relevant pathways influencing infection and pathogenesis that will contribute to our understanding of gene function.

Outstanding Student Poster Presentation (tie): Elizabeth Mallot and Yen-Lung "Ota" Lin
Outstanding Student Podium Presentation: Tanvi Honap
Outstanding Postdoc Podium Presentation: Aaron Sams
Elizabeth Mallot
Elizabeth Mallott is a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her primary research interests lie in examining how resource use, including faunivory, shapes primate social behavior and foraging strategies. In particular, Elizabeth examines interactions between development and food availability in determining dietary choice, using DNA metabarcoding methods to identify animal prey present in white-faced capuchin monkey diets. She also investigates how the gut microbiome buffers dietary changes in white-faced capuchins and increases nutrient uptake from sub-optimal food resources. This research increases our understanding of the plasticity of primate behavioral responses to spatiotemporal variation in resource availability.
Tanvi Honap
Currently, I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Evolutionary Biology program at the School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University. I am co-advised in my doctoral research by Dr. Anne Stone and Dr. Michael Rosenberg. My research interests include studying pathogen evolution using a phylogenomics approach as well as studying how susceptibility to pathogens is influenced by host genetics. Part of my Ph.D. research involves using ancient DNA to study the origins of tuberculosis (TB) in the pre-Columbian Americas. This project is being conducted by the Stone Laboratory in collaboration with Johannes Krause and Kirsten Bos, Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, Jena, Germany. For this project, I am screening ancient human skeletal remains, showing characteristic signs of TB, for the presence of TB bacterial DNA. I use sophisticated ancient DNA extraction methods, target enrichment, and next-generation sequencing technology to reconstruct the genomes of ancient TB strains. By understanding the evolutionary relationships among ancient and modern TB strains, we can answer questions about the origins of this important human disease. To learn more about my research, please visit my website: www.tanvihonap.com
Aaron Sams
Aaron is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Biological Statistics and Computational Biology at Cornell University in the lab of Philipp Messer. In his research Aaron utilizes genomic data from living and ancient humans (including Neandertals and Denisovans) to better understand the evolution of complex genetic traits, including those related to human health, in conjunction with recent changes in human culture and demography. He also applies computational and simulation approaches to address broader concepts in paleoanthropology such as modern human origins, human dispersal, admixture, and demography.

MEAGAN A. RUBEL - February 11, 2016
In lieu of an AGAR (Applying Genetics to Anthropological Research) meeting, this year AAAG applied for and received funds to host a Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution (SMBE) Satellite Meeting. This meeting, entitled "Genetics of Admixed Populations", will be held from May 18-20 in San Antonio, Texas at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute.
The primary aim of this satellite meeting is to emphasize the common theoretical and empirical underpinnings of the study of admixed human populations and hybridization in other animals and plants, with the goal of sharing methods and study design from a specific organism with a wider audience. The workshop will consist of five sessions focusing on various aspects of the admixture process and methods used to characterize it. These sessions include: Admixture as a Dynamic Process, Novel Methods to Untangle Admixture History, Empirical Studies of Population History, Admixture as a Mechanism For and Against Speciation, and Admixture and Selection-Phenotypic and Medical Implications. The meeting will conclude with a panel discussion focusing on ethical considerations associated with research into admixed populations and the admixture process. Travel awards are also available (on a competitive basis), to help defray costs for meeting participants.
Full details on confirmed speakers, registration, abstract submission, and local arrangements can be found at http://www.anthgen.org/smbe2016/. The early-bird deadline for registration and abstract submission (for talks or posters) is February 15th, with final registration and abstract submission (posters only) due by March 15th.
