The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire has adopted a policy that prohibits students from performing their required community service in a religious context. Students must complete 30 hours of volunteer work to graduate, but the new policy prevents them from using any religious activity to fulfill the requirement.
A university committee and the faculty senate at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire have approved the policy. Under its guidelines, UW students will no longer be allowed to teach in vacation Bible schools or churches, or in any way to conduct, recruit for, or preach religion in order to meet the terms of the 30-hour requirement.
Volunteer projects requiring religious membership would also be disqualified. The school's administrators claim they have adopted the new policy in the interest of maintaining the so-called "separation of church and state" mandated in the Establishment Clause of the Constitution of the United States.
However, Jay Anderson of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship says it is not unconstitutional for the school to recognize religious community service. "Students would be participating willingly of their own accord," he says. "No one's forcing them to choose a religious option for their service learning credit. And no one is forcing the participants in the vacation Bible school or the Sunday school class to participate."
According to Anderson, recognizing student volunteer service done in a religious context does not by any means violate the Establishment Clause. Since students are not forced to perform religious-based community service, he says the university would not be endorsing a specific religion by allowing such recognition.
What the UW-Eau Claire policy does do, the campus InterVarsity representative contends, is undermine the students' right to religious freedom by refusing to recognize their volunteer service in religious milieu. He feels the university officials are acting under a faulty interpretation of the US Constitution and may be violating the First Amendment by implementing the restrictive policy.
"From my perspective it is an abridgement of our rights to freely express our religion," Anderson says. "I don't think that there's any sort of conspiracy or grand underground plan to keep InterVarsity and other group off campus, but I do think the people involved have a bias against religion and perhaps Christianity in particular."
According to Janesville's GazetteXtra.com, UW-Eau Claire senior Jesse Navara volunteered for Awana Clubs International, a Christian organization that conducts youth groups, and was given only partial credit toward his service-learning requirement because his activities included Bible lessons. Navara told the Gazette he was "disappointed" and feels the university's policy is a form of religious discrimination.

So tomorrow we take our firstborn to college. Although I'm rarely at a loss for words, this one has me reflective, sad, excited, joyful, curious, hopeful…and not very eloquent. So here's a tanka poem I wrote a couple years ago, with maybe some kind of understanding.
Driving Lessons
What you need to know
–-signal, accelerate, merge–
I must teach you well
be as safe as possible
so you can one day leave me.
Bon voyage, my sweet. I will always be just a yelp away.

During the last few weeks, I have had occasion to think seriously about my discipline, my scholarship and my future. Not entirely the result of writing that blasted Introduction, either. We had a conference recently on the Fate of the Disciplines [scroll down to Recent Events] at which many luminaries wrung their hands and burrowed their brows – worried that money and the right wing will soon destroy the Humanities. Sadly, the brilliantly organized conference had no space for those that might actually be responsible for the fate of the discipline. New and recent graduates. Never mind that. Of particular interest was the talk given by Sheldon Pollock. Shelly, as always, was brilliant and intriguing. He spoke about the fate of philology in scholarship. Of service departments and lack of rigorous training in languages. Of what happens when the historian is not a polyglot. And of what happens when the scholar does not inhabit the present. Shelly told us that we have to do philology that is aware of the moment – of the political. The history I study, a friend said to me after Shelly's talk, is so far removed from the present that no way I could ever make it relevant. But, my answer was, you are not so far removed from the present. It was Shelly's last point that stuck with me. What does it mean to be a humanist today? What does it mean, to me, to be a historian?
It is not an idle question. To be honest, the usual concerns have never occupied my thoughts. Will I get a job? Will I publish enough? Will I get tenure? Perhaps, it is because that I have had a job as long as I have been in graduate school that the profession-as-trade dynamic has never taken root within me. Who am I, as a scholar? What is my role within my community? What are my responsibilities to the public? Those questions, when I had a moment to think about them, were much more intriguing to me. This blog, that some have been reading for 2 years, was sometimes an attempt to answer such questions. In a sense, as a historian, I am interested in translation – moving from one language to another, from academy to the public. I am interested in speaking, as Jaroslav Pelikan's astounding essay put it, past-ese and present-ese.
I admit that the only time I had heard of Pelikan was when he was co-awarded the Kluge Prize along with Paul Ricoeur. I promised myself that I will read Pelikan and even purchased his Whose Bible Is it?, but, never got around to it. Caleb, in a recent thread at Cliopatria noting Pelikan's passing away, recommended an essay from 1993, The Historian as Polyglot – an address given to the American Philospohical Society on their 250th anniversary. The entire essay is an example of the clarity of thought and ideas so lacking in people like me who want to call ourselves historians.
Akin to Shelly's call to philology, Pelikan talks about the necessary task of the historian:
The historian of ideas needs to be able – and, in some recognizable measure, still is able – to understand one or more of the dialects of past-ese, and by an act of historical imagination to serve as an interpreter of them, "interpreter" being, insterestingly, the very word we use both for the translator and for the historian".
That is as well a function of being a historical polyglot and of learning the language I have been calling here past-ese: to put our own present-ese into perspective, not by claiming to be able to jump out of our own skin, which is physically impossible, but by demonstrating the difference between the body and the mind precisely in this, that we are able in consiberable measure to jump out of our own mind-set, and thus (to invoke as well an even newer dialect of present-ese, the language of computer-ese) that we are able to "toggle" between past-ese and present-ese.
Pelikan is concerned with the role of historian and historiography but the idea of 'interpreter' can be stretched both inside the university to communications between various disciplines as well as outside the university to our actions as political and social members of society. Do note the deliciousness of his usage of computer jargon in his conclusion for my purpose here, today.
There is nothing new in the notion about scholars as public intellectuals – Noam Chomsky, Edward Said, Bernard Lewis, Cornel West etc. – are readily available examples. Yet, the fact that all of the people I cited are highly polarizing figures illustrates, to me, the reticence of the average scholar to engage with the public. It is not hard to see why. The economy of mass-communication demanded sound-bites, telegenic personalities, rhetoric – all the things that a diligent scholar would avoid like the plague [especially the telegenic part]. Those that sought the glow of television cameras, had facility with words and felt fine prognosticating in op-eds got their share of snark [does anyone remember Larry Summers checklisting Cornel West's scholarship?]. Added to all that, was the severe work of it. A scholar had to seek contacts, build networks, do the things that keeps one on the journalist's rolodesk – all for no glory. No extra points come tenure time [if, ie., you were foolish enough to even say your name out loud before you got tenure].
However, mass-communication [does anyone even use that term anymore?] certainly has changed since then [you can define 'then' however you like]. We live, as O'Reilly tags it, in a Web 2.0 world. Two recent developments have profoundly affected the world of knowledge.
1. Mass digitization – through Google Library, Gutenberg Project, Digital Library projects, etc.
2. Mass publication – through wikis, blogs, tags, etc.
In this brave new world, then, what does it mean to be a humanist? What does it mean, to me, to be a historian? It should be plain that what I have in mind is the notion of a socially-engaged scholar. But, how? And to what scholarly benefit?
Yesterday, I attended a talk by Gregory Crane – a Classicist and the founder of the Perseus Project, one of the most significant digital project in all of humanities. His talk was about the digitization projects at Google, Yahoo etc. as well as Perseus Project [do see his article, What Do You Do With a Million Books?]. More significantly for me, he talked about the future of humanities – of our audiences and how will we 'talk' to them. In his talk, was the other version of a polyglot, the "Connector" – people who can stand between humanities and computer scientists – who can guide the digital channels. But, why, what is at stake? Why should someone studying 12th c. Sanskrit or medieval Indo-persian culture care about computer science geeks? Because mass-digitization is just inchoate without us as translators. It is also not something that will pause and reflect whether the sanskrit and persian sources are being done at all, or rightly.
The humanist has no choice, none, but to speak this language and to help create this knowledge system. The cost of non-action is annihilation – and I am not being over-dramatic. The concern is grave, indeed, for those of us who already are in super-sub-sects of disciplinary creeds. How will we compete? How will we attract funding? Those 12th c. Sanskrit texts must be scanned, must be annotated, must be re-imagined in their digital avatars. That medieval indo-persian culture needs digital archives and networks of scholars and readers. The computer scientist does not know the head of a critical digital edition from the tale of a critical digital edition. It is our job to engage with them. To be the interpreter. It is also, keenly, our scholarship. A blog may not get you tenure points. But a Digital Archive on Indo-Persian Culture will.
I have gone way longer than I should have [and I have lots of work to do!!] but let me conclude by saying just this: I am not speaking as someone aglow with the nirvana of technology nor am I offering a digitize or perish screed. I am simply talking about myself and the way I understand my discipline of choice. To engage with the public does not mean to just get on Charlie Rose. It also means to create a digital archive that is accessible to the general public. It means to construct networks of knowledge between various disciplines and share structural information. It means to practice philology. It means to be a polyglot. It means to not only speak past-ese and present-ese but also, future-ese.

By Shawn Kennedy, AJN editor-in-chief
Last week, we posted here a piece by AJN's clinical managing editor Karen Roush, decrying the use of the term "physician extender." It reminded me of a recent article from the New York Times on nurses with doctorates, which reported that if some physicians have their way and their legal strategy succeeds, they will be the only group permitted to use the honorific "doctor."
Degrees vs. licenses. This borders on the ridiculous, as the title is an academic title that signifies achievement in a field of study; it is not a license. Doctoral degrees are awarded in just about every field of study, from astronomy to zoology. Physicians are awarded a doctor of medicine, dentists are awarded a doctor of dental science, and so it goes. In health care, there are dentists, psychologists, social workers, physical therapists, pharmacists, and yes, nurses too, with doctoral degrees. Nurses have been earning PhDs and EdDs (doctorates in education) and the DNSc (doctorate in nursing science) for years, and now there's a new nursing doctorate degree—a DNP, doctor of nursing practice—that's specific to nurses in clinical practice. They are still licensed as nurses, as that's what they are.
This parochial thinking is held by those physicians (not all, but far too many) who still adhere to the traditional view that they, and they alone, know what's best for patients and for health care; they're in favor of teamwork, but only as long as the team recognizes that they are the leaders and decision makers.
Both the media and the health care system bear some responsibility for this. The system itself is physician-centric rather than patient-centric—hospital policies, practitioner admitting privileges, purchasing (especially in the OR), and scheduling have often developed around physician preferences; reimbursements almost always must go through physicians, whether or not they're actually involved in the delivery of care.
Most media portrayals, both fiction and documentary, focus on physicians as the only important providers in health care, relegating other health professionals to low-level supporting roles (or, as Roush noted,"extensions" of physicians).
And we all play loosely with the term "doctor." It's established that not all doctors are physicians, yet we use the terms synonymously. If we are referring to a physician, we need to be specific and not use "doctor."
There are many health professionals besides physicians who are knowledgeable and skilled practitioners—if allowed to practice to the full capabilities within the scope of their education, expertise, and license, they can provide access and high quality care to the millions of Americans who need it.
Our health care system is far too complex for one group of practitioners to claim ownership of patients, the system, or an academic title. All who complete the arduous path to achieving a doctoral degree deserve the recognition warranted by their achievements—just as doctors of medicine do.

The Ballclubs of PhiladelphiaNovember 15, 2008
Now, I'm sure any fan of baseball in the Philadelphia area knows the two baseball teams that graced their presence in Philly. They are the Athletics and Phillies. But did you know there have been others?
They are:
- The Athletic of Philadelphia
- Philadelphia Athletics (National Association)
- Philadelphia White Stockings
- Philadelphia Centennials
- Philadelphia Athletics (National League)
- Philadelphia Athletics (American Association)
- Philadelphia Athletics (Players League)
- Philadelphia Keystones
- Philadelphia Quakers
- Philadelphia Stars (Negro League)
The Athletic of Philadelphia was formed in 1860. Their most noted player was left-handed second baseman Al Reach. They were also called the Athletics for short. They eventually went by that name permanently when they joined the National Association in 1871.
They won the pennant that year, the first one of organized baseball. The Athletics made the switch to the National League in 1876 after the National Association folded, but they lasted only one season.
The Philadelphia White Stockings, or Whites, were formed in 1873. They finished second that year ahead of the Philadelphia Athletics. In 1874, Hall of Famer Candy Cummings joined the team, but left right after the season was over. The team left the league after the 1875 season.
The Philadelphia Centennials were a one-year deal, playing only in 1875. They had an okay pitcher and offense but what killed them was defense. They made 164 errors the whole season, and their season was only 14 games long!
The Philadelphia Athletics of the American Association weren't all that bad. They won the pennant in 1883 and had notable players Bobby Matthews and Harry Stovey. They became worse and worse as the years wore on. Their last season was in 1890.
The Quakers of the Players League weren't good. After the league folded they tried to play in the American Association as the Athletics, but they didn't last.
The Philadelphia Keystones were the just like the Centennials. They lasted only in 1884. The most notable player on the team was Billy Greer, who began his career when he was 14 with the New York Mutuals in 1874.
The last team is the Philadelphia Stars, a Negro League team. Led by Slim Jones, they won the Negro League pennant in 1934. Negro League greats such as Biz Mackey, Jud Wilson, Slim Jones, and Dick Lundy played for the Stars.
Mackey and Wilson are in the Hall of Fame and Lundy almost made it but fell short. The great Satchel Paige even played for the Stars in 1950 before he returned to the majors!

Hello WAI members, My name is Danny Roush and I work for Vcom3D, Inc. We have developed SigningAvatar(tm) Assistive Technology which provides sign language access to digital media for Deaf individuals. Today, I reviewed the WCAG 2.0 working paper for the first time and am cognizant that much effort has been invested in the making of these guidelines. I would like to respectfully submit a comment being aware that the group may have been down this road already. In my previous positions as a vocational rehabilitation counselor and as a staff interpreter & assistive technology specialist for a federal agency, as well was being a child of deaf parents, I have seen first hand the fall-out of a pervasive paradigm: Text is visual therefore it is accessible for all deaf individuals. For many deaf individuals, Sign Language may be the only real mode and language of access to information. I'm assuming that I am preaching to the choir about this but the "sermon notes" of the guidelines will be read by non-choir members. I would like to put forth that the distinctions between non-text equivalent of text and non-text content (mere supplemental information) be maintained as it is in the original WCAG 1.0 document (cf. last paragraph of Section 1 Introduction). Further, as there are currently no "ASL screen reader" user agents that can take text-to-sign in real time (currently SigningAvatar scripts are authored asynchronistically) I would like to suggest that the language be more explicit: the responsibility of content developers to provide text equivalents be extended to also providing non-text equivalents of text such as Sign Language translations and Audio descriptions. (cf. WCAG 1.0 next-to-the-last paragraph of Section 1 Introduction). Since the very nature of developing these guidelines happens in text form, there needs to be a conscious effort to be inclusive of perspectives from non-readers and people who use sign language as their primary mode and language of communication. I believe the original guidelines achieve this and I wanted to assure that the new guidelines will maintian and augment this. Keep up your excellent work! Thank you. Danny Roush Senior Linguist 3452 Lake Lynda Drive, Suite 260 Vcom3D, Inc.

Update: Like this project? Then you'll definitely want to check out my new-and-improved version here!
Remember my window-frame-turned-jewelry-display? Of course you do, how could you not? Well it's time for a detailed tutorial. Here's the down and dirty on how I turned that ratty old window frame into the Coolest Jewelry Storage Ever.
Supplies Needed
- An old wooden window frame
- Metal window screening
- Foam core board
- Fabric or decorative paper
- Screw-in cup hooks
- Old cabinet knobs
- Skinny strips of craft wood (I got mine at Michael's)
- ModPodge
- Tiny tack nails
- 2 – 4 Triangle strap hangers (or other hooks for back of frame)
Tools Needed
- Old scissors
- Glue gun
- Old paintbrush
- Hammer
- Drill (optional)
If you have any questions, or if this is confusing, please ask in the comments!
Repurposed Window Jewelry Frame Tutorial
1. Find an old wooden window frame. Rattiness optional.
2. Clean it up, sand it down, and paint it if you want to. At least swab it with a good coat of polyurethane to seal it and protect it. *If there were glass panes, after you remove them, be sure to use pliers to pull out the little metal spikes that held them in. But be careful – they're sharp!
Note on Poly Sealant: Because the wood was so old and splintery, I thought it best to sand it down and seal it with poly. Unfortunately the poly took away the gorgeous, weather-beaten white patina of the wood, and made it look like regular stained wood. If you want the white look, you'd probably have to whitewash it after sanding it down.
Lead Paint Warning: Old windows may contain lead paint. Exercise caution when refinishing them.
3. Is it dry? Good! Figure out which squares will have window screening for earring storage, and which will have fabric-covered foam core board panels for decoration & functional space. (Remember, you can stick pins in the foam core boards to provide extra hanging bits for little pendants and pins.) I figured out what kind of storage I needed where by laying all my jewelry out around the frame ahead of time:
4. Create the fabric-covered panels of upholstered foam core board. Take the fabulous fabric you've chosen (or decorative paper), and use ModPodge to adhere it to the board. I chose this process: brush a coat of MP on the board, then press the board to the back side of the fabric, then wrap the edges over the board, using more MP to adhere them well. Set aside (preferably in a pet-hair-free place) to dry.
5. Prepare to install the window screening panels. But watch out, because no matter how hard you try, you're probably going to get some metal splinters . I recommend having a current tetanus shot for the sake of full legal disclaimer.
6. To get this screening business started, cut a spare piece of cardboard to the size of the square opening you'd like to fill. This is your guide.
7. Cut the window screening. Cut the screen an inch wider than the guide, on every side. (Regular scissors worked for me, but be warned it will make them dull.)
8. Insert one piece of screening where you want to attach it. But before you try to attach it, just fold the edges so that it fits as well as possible. (This is probably where the splinters will start.)
9. Once the screening is in place, cut pieces of the skinny craft wood to insert on top of the edges of the screen. You're using them like this, to help brace the screen inside the window frame:
10. Carefully pull one of the the screen & wood strip edges away from the frame, and run a quick line of hot glue down the side of the frame. Then press the wood & screen against the glue so that both the screen and the wood strip are adhered to the side of the frame. Repeat on each side.
11. Once the glue has dried, use little tack nails to secure the wood strips to the sides of the frame, thereby ensuring that your screen is held in well.
12. Fold any remaining bits of screen over the wood strips. (Again, splinters may ensue.)
13. Add the fabric-covered foam panels, using hot glue to hold them in place. After they are glued in, you can add some extra hot glue to the backside of each corner if you want a little extra security.
14. Install the little metal cup hooks. To do this, mark the spots where you want them to go, and simply twist them into place. If they're hard to screw in, use some pliers to help.
15. Because I also had a few old cabinet knobs, I added them to the intersections where the vertical pieces of the frame met the horizontal pieces, as well as on the top two outer corners of the frame:
16. Obtain less-than-helpful assistance from the cat. As usual. "No, Doctor, it's not time for me to feed you dinner. I already did that tonight. Twice."
17. DIY some extra knobs, if necessary. Becuase I ran out of knobs, and I wanted to hang chunky bracelets on the outer sides of the frame, I drilled a few holes at a slight downward angle, and hot-glued pieces of dowel rod into them to form my own knobs. I wasn't satisfied with the boring ends, so I went to the woodworking aisle at Michaels, and found a little packet of round wooden bits with holes in the middle. They fit perfectly over the ends of the dowel rods, so I glued them on.
18. Install Triangle Strap Hangers or D-Ring Strap Hangers (I got mine in the framing section at Michaels) on the top back of the frame, so that you can hang it securely on your wall. And with that, you're done!
PS: Want to see the rest of my studio makeover? You can check out the beginning of my studio makeover, find details on the patterned dry erase board and cork board, and see how I used vintage jars to store my thread.
PSS: And if you're still wondering where I was earlier this week, just hop over here to see the lovely ladies with whom I spent my long weekend!

Lace has been popping up everywhere as a huge trend for Fall. I love how you can play up the sexy side of it, or dress it down for a casual look, or even make it work for work!
This lace shirt by Roper has the sort of built in tank with it – so you don't need to layer it with anything else.
I'd pair this with some bright boot (Corral Red Boots), a statement necklace (Cindy Smith) and a night on the town.
For a more casual look, I would go for one of these shirts by Ariat, the burn out tee or the lace henly.
You would want to layer both of these with a tank or tee under them. I think the burn out tee is a great casual option for every day wear. I'd pair it with a lighter tee or tank to really high light the texture of the fabric. The lace henly could be paired with a dark tee and worn under a jack to work…as long as your work isn't too much of a suit and tie environment!
So what do you think? Is the lace trend one you will try?

"Following the breath" is an introductory qigong breathing meditation practice that will help you achieve a tranquil breath and it will help quiet the monkey mind. With regular practice, this for of mindfulness meditation can help lower high blood pressure and reduce stress. There are many other health conditions that improve with regular meditation practice, particularly autoimmune disorders. Do this practice in the morning when you get up, during the middle of the day (if you have time) and before you go to bed. The duration of the practice should be at least 15 minutes to get the health benefits. Some teachers recommend 20 minutes or more per sitting. You can use a timer to help you to determine when to stop the practice.
Meditation Posture
No, you don't have to sitting in an uncomfortable yoga posture to do Taoist meditation, although some do. I don't recommend it as it can cut off the circulation in your legs. In this Taoist sitting posture, the buttocks are placed on the forward 1/3 of the chair and the spine is erect and is lengthened from the waist up. There is a slight tuck of the hips forward. The head is held as if suspended by a wire from the heavens above, and it is tilted slightly downward to help open up the occipital region at the top of the spine where the head connects. The feet are placed parallel on the floor directly below the knees. The hands can either rest on the thighs, palms down, or they can be folded palms up in the lap.
Staying with the Breath
The practice is simple in theory: just follow the breath going in and out of the nose. However, you will notice that your attention will wander to visit discomforts or various sensations in the body (and there are an infinite number of these), or you will have thousand thoughts that keep you from watching the breath. As in mindfulness meditation practices, you just simply bring your attention back to the breath as it goes in and out of your nose.
Maintain gentleness with yourself in training. This is of key importance. There is no striving and there are no goals. Equally important is that you do not interfere with your breathing patterns. You let yourself breathe naturally without any conscious intervention. If you find yourself changing your breathing, however, you should just let go and return to simple attention. The letting go of thoughts, distracting sensations, and conscious control are part of the practice of returning to the breath.
As a meditation session progresses, you will perhaps notice that yourself slouching, especially if you become sleepy. Sleepiness is another distraction, so just correct your posture if you notice it has become compromised in any way and then go back to following the breath. Keep practicing until the timer goes off.
Finishing the Meditation
At the end of the practice, you will want to go gently back to the world. Do not immediately start with aerobic exercises, for instance. Walking is good, but start off slowly and later you can gradually step up the pace. You want to carry the feeling of relaxed consciousness into your day. If you are practicing before you go to bed, this meditation will help you get a sound night's sleep.
Other Qigong Breathing Meditations
There are many other breath practices that are available, such as training in dissolving of blockages with the breath, normal and reverse abdominal breathing methods and embryonic breathing. There is an excellent post on the stages of normal abdominal breathing in the Qigong Healing WordPress blog. Reverse abdominal breathing and embryonic breathing are practices that are learned later in one's practice. More on those later….. Until then, practice!.

I feel like I haven't taken a Maven box in FOREVER! (My last one was in October to be exact…wow!) I am very glad that i'm "grandfathered in" since they changed their rules on skipping boxes! To be honest none of them had really appealed to me and I am on a budget so I wanted to wait for some unique/special polishes. This April box was the one i've been waiting for!
This month Julep debuted their new blushes and bronzers to be included in the boxes (they were so popular that they are currently sold out!) I got the Bombshell box which included Kayla, Tatum and your choose of blush (I'm so glad they let you choose now!) I also added on Felicia. They also included a nice card with a 2 for 1 code (PERK2FOR1) so I picked up more of my favorite Julep Sea Salt Spray and got Tania for FREE!) 😀 Lets get to the swatches…
Tatum is a neon chartreuse metallic (which is like a green/yellow) It is really pretty and covers well in 2 coats with minimal brush lines which you often get with metallics. I had no trouble with staining (I used a base coat) and it removed easily and lasted 3 days before any major chipping occurred. (New polishes retail for $14 or $11.20 Maven pricing.)
I had posted a photo on instagram stating that in the bottle it looked really similar to Mackenzie (which is disco'd), so I did a swatch comparison:
So, as you can see they are very similar in shade, but the finish is different. Mackenzie is a creme with subtle shimmer and Tatum is a metallic/ chrome finish. Both very pretty though 🙂
OMG the gorgeousness of Kayla is undeniable! Kayla is described as an "electric iris sheer with violet sheen" I used 3 coats and it was pretty opaque for me. It has a beautiful pink shift in the sunlight…SO GORGEOUS…probably one of my favorite purples ever. Be careful driving if you have this on your nails you may distract yourself! 😉 I also am wearing a topcoat to bring out more of the shimmer.
Felicia was my add-on and it is described as a "black speckled mint creme." I love this one because it gives a really interesting finish without any intensive nail art skills. It has a nice thin formula and covers perfectly in 2 coats. Lasted 3 days before any chipping (which is standard for me, I'm always doing housework lol.) This was a little messier to remove, it left the black speckles behind. So I suggest using 100% Acetone remover to cut down on the time/mess.
Peach Bellini Blush:
I chose the Peach Bellini blush because I already have so many pink blushes! It is a nice warm peachy-pink with very subtle shimmer. The case feels nicely made and has some weight to it. The cover has a nice sized mirror and snap closure. Their blushes and bronzers are supposed to "diffuse the appearance of pores and imperfections," but I didn't really notice anything because i'm just putting it on a small area of my cheeks. (Maybe more so with the bronzers?) The formula is nicely pigmented but slightly powdery, so be sure to tap your brush off before applying. (Retails for $24 or $19.20 maven pricing)
Overall, I am SUPER happy with everything in my box, Formulas and colors were awesome and it has pefect the products to get you all ready for spring!
If you are interested in signing up for the next Maven box, please consider using my REFERRAL LINK and code TREAT to get your 1st box FREE (just pay $3.99 for shipping!) 🙂
Thanks so much for reading! xoxo, Kristina

Dufford receives
award at Nebraska
LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska sophomore golfer and Midland Classical Academy grad Neil Dufford received the Life Skills Hero Award at the University of Nebraska this past week.
The Life Skills Hero Award honors Nebraska student-athletes across all teams who demonstrate leadership and citizenship. Dufford was one of two recepients this week.
Dufford was also part of the Nebraska men's golf team that received the Herman Award, as the team with the highest grade-point average. The men's golf team had a GPA of 3.422 for the year, and had eight athletes, including Dufford, earn Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll awards.
UTPB baseball team
sweeps Newman
ODESSA -- The University of Texas of the Permian Basin baseball team helped solidify at least the No. 4 seed in the upcoming Heartland Conference Tournament by taking a pair of games from Newman on Friday. The Falcons won the first 4-, and then won the second game, 6-5 in 10 innings.
Coming into the series, UTPB was a half game ahead of the Jets for the fourth and final spot in the league standings. The games with the Falcons are the last conference contests for Newman, while the Falcons still host Panhandle State next week in a three-game series.
The sweep moved the Falcons to 18-23 on the year and 13-13 in Heartland Conference play, while Newman fell to 21-22 and 12-17 in league games. The teams will play the third and final game tomorrow at noon on Roden Field.
Hugo Hernandez not only went 5-for-8 with three runs batted in, but also had the game-winning hit down the third base line, driving in Garrett Wolff for the game winner in Game 2.
Down to their final at-bat in Game 2, the Falcons came through as Chandler Goode led off the ninth with a walk and later moved to second on a sacrifice by Andy Quiring. A single through the left side by Jeremy Miller was enough to score Goode from second and tying the game at five to eventually send the game into extra innings.
In the bottom of the 10th, Wolff was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. An intentional walk to Brantley Miller and a walk to pinch hitter Michael Rice loaded the bases for Hernandez, who ended the game on his chopper down the line with no outs.

Chinese driver who left child to die on trial
A paramilitary policeman stands guard at the entrance of China's Supreme Court in Beijing Friday, Dec. 3, 2010.
The Associated Press
Published Saturday, May 26, 2012 10:02AM EDT
BEIJING - State media in China say a trial has begun for a man accused of driving a minivan that ran over a toddler on a busy street. The case sparked outrage after the little girl was ignored as she lay dying on the road.
The official Xinhua News Agency reported Friday that Hu Jun was charged with the wrongful death of 2-year-old Wang Yue in the southern city of Foshan
Video footage shows the van striking the toddler and then resuming driving, rolling its back right wheel over her.
Over the next seven minutes, 18 people walked or cycled by the child. Another van struck her before a scrap picker scooped her up as the girl's mother came looking for her.
The child died a week later, but the incident caused soul searching among Chinese over declining morality.


text: Here I show you a figure from the Airfix set Astronauts. Because the set is maunfactured in soft palstic I had great problems to remoe the mould lines. At last I gave up as you can see on the pictures. Today I have new ideas to remove the mould lines and I will try them next time. I'll keep you informed whether the ideas are working or not. During the painting process I got the idea to get an reflection on the visor of the helmet. So I printed a little picture and glued it on the visor. It was the first attempt for a reflection, maybe next one I will try to paint.

Some customers of DFS Galleria in Waikiki are complaining of a stinky situation.
They contacted KHON2 after noticing a strong odor at the busy shopping complex in Waikiki.
Customers describe it as a sewage smell.
There are eight air filters on the ground floor trying to deal with the situation.
Managers on site are being tight-lipped. They would not tell KHON2 where the smell is coming from, how long the problem has been going on, or if it's safe for customers to be inside the building.
"It doesn't smell that good. They're trying to fix it though. I can see they've got big air things in there. They're trying their hardest, I think, just that it doesn't smell good," DFS Galleria customer Rhonda O'Connell said.
Both the city and state say it's up to the property owner to take care of any problems.

FOLKSTON, Ga. - Before interstates were built, motorists en route to Florida's Gulf Coast drove on a two-lane highway called the Woodpecker Trail through Georgia towns such as Metter, Hoboken and Folkston. Interstate 95 changed all that, and the Woodpecker Trail became a distant memory.
But not everyone has forgotten the Woodpecker Trail, which was established in the 1920s as the main route from Charlotte, N.C., to St. Petersburg, Fla., said Rich Harrill, a senior business associate at Georgia Tech's Tourism and Regional Assistance Centers.
People, especially baby boomers, are tired of heavy traffic and boring drives on the interstates, and are seeking alternate ways to get to their destinations, Mr. Harrill said.
One alternative might become a reality within the next year. Regional tourism and elected officials are working to revive the designation to Georgia Highway 121 as the Woodpecker Trail and give motorists an alternate route that will take them by farms, swamps, Civil War sites and places to fish, hunt and camp.
They've already persuaded the Georgia Senate to pass a resolution for the Department of Transportation to help re-establish the trail, said Billy Trapnell, the mayor of Metter.
Before the scenic route becomes official, there's still some work to do, Mr. Trapnell said.
Organizers are negotiating with Universal Studios to use Woody Woodpecker as the highway mascot, he said. The cartoon character's likeness was used beginning in the late 1950s on all the route's signs, Mr. Trapnell said.
Universal Studios has been "most receptive" to granting permission to use the cartoon character on highway signs along the trail, he said. Once an agreement is signed, which could be within two or three months, Mr. Trapnell said, it's simply a matter of getting the General Assembly to designate the highway as the Woodpecker Trail, then getting DOT officials to design the highway signs and post them along the route.
"We want to get this done as expeditiously as possible," Mr. Trapnell said. "There's still a lot of people who remember Woody Woodpecker."
DOT spokesman Bert Brantley said a resolution officially designating the highway as a scenic route will have to be signed into law before the signs are developed and posted.
But until a law is signed creating the route, Mr. Brantley said, it's difficult to determine what the DOT's role will be. The trail is "conceivably one of the longest named roads in the state," Mr. Brantley said, so it could take the DOT longer to post the signs.
Once the trail is officially established, Mr. Trapnell said, he and other supporters will make brochures outlining the route and the attractions people will see along the way. Those brochures will be available at rest areas and other locations.
State tourism officials have been working with supporters of the trail the past year to make the project a reality, said Kitty Sikes, a regional tourism representative for the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism.
Ms. Sikes said organizers are seeking grants to market the trail, and improve and develop tourist attractions along the route.
"It's very, very scenic," she said. "It's a beautiful drive."
Folkston Mayor Dixie McGurn, who is serving on a nonprofit board to establish the trail, said she believes motorists will use the route and stop at area attractions along the way.
"These little communities have so much to offer," Ms. McGurn said. "It's a more comfortable ride. There's no time lost on the route, and it gets them off the beaten path."

At the end of every major political development, there's a group of wealthy guys cracking open a bottle of $10,000 wine, right? Yup. Turns out that the CIA's director may have had such a bottle on his mind when he helped oversee the assassination of Osama bin Laden. Say what?
The LA Times reports that then-CIA director Leon Panetta had made a bet with a California restaurant owner. If Osama got killed, Panetta would get a sip of a $10,000 bottle of wine: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1870. The restaurant owner swore he wouldn't open the bottle until Panetta saw to it that bin Laden was dead. Which seemed like it was never going to happen. It was a "joke," the restaurant owner told Panetta. It would never happen.
And then it did.
And so it was. Panetta picked up the phone, told his friend to tune into CNN, and there it was: Osama's dead. Pending Panetta's availability, the pair (and some very lucky guests) will get to indulge in a few sips of some $10,000 fermented grapes.
Lesson learned: don't joke about $10,000 wine.

I just got done proving Gauss' test, which is given in the book as:
If there is an , an , and an such that
where for all n, then converges if and diverges if .
This is equivalent to the many other forms I have found on the web. The next question asks to use this test to prove that the series
converges if and diverges if using Gauss' test.
OK, so much for the preamble. Here's my attempt:
And that's it... I don't know how to put this into a form which corresponds in general to the form required for Gauss' test. I saw a similar problem online solved with the use of the fact that for large n, but the book has not covered anything like that (it introduced the ~ symbol, but not ).

jessica DOVLETIAN & wenny HSU: Manifold Masses: Kaohsiung Port Terminal, Taiwan. This project investigates formal internal orders of architecture, specifically saddle polyhedral and their potential for generating intensive massing and figural interstices. We were interested in a rigorous and playful examination of these systems and their capacity to generate new forms and spatial expressions that are themselves embedded within a deep underlying order.

Rinehart comments labelled 'misguided'
The former head of an Aboriginal land council has labelled Gina Rinehart's latest public spray as 'misguided'.
The billionaire has told delegates at a mining conference the Federal Government has an unhealthy reliance on the mining sector and has been treating it like an automatic teller machine.
She also criticised demands by Aboriginal groups for Woodside to still pay a compensation package to local people, despite shelving a proposed gas hub on their land near Broome in WA's north.
The former CEO of the Kimberley Land Council Wayne Bergmann was a key negotiator for the traditional owners and says Aboriginal people deserve to benefit from the development.
"I think Gina's comments are just misguided, she does not know the extent to which Aboriginal people were engaged and pressured during this negotiation," he said.
"These assets belong to Western Australia and Aboriginal people are part of Australian citizens. They have an obligation to develop these projects in a way that better improve the lives of all Australians and Aboriginal people are one of the most disadvantaged groups."

Allen and the Kitchen Screen.
Do you ever hear something going on in the next room and know without looking who's doing what?
I was rousted from bed the other morning by an odd sound coming from my kitchen, and even as I awoke, I knew it was Allen. After a few useless tries at going back to sleep, I gave in to the inevitable and stumbled into the kitchen, rubbing my face and trying to clear the sleep from my eyes (as usual, the night before had been a late one).
Sure enough, there was my gorgeous orange boy, just a pick, pick, picking away at the screen in the kitchen window that overlooks the stone wall separating my house from the one next door. Clearly, there's another screen replacement in my near future. *eye roll*
That boy is lucky he's so darn good-looking!

Two American Jewish leaders who accompanied President Clinton to Damascus last week said they went as a show of support for Clinton's efforts in the peace process.
Clinton brought a large group of Jewish and Arab Americans with him on his fourday visit to the Middle East.
But for the Syrian leg of the trip, only five accompanied him: Lynn Lyss, chair of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council, Lester Pollack, chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, and three Arab Americans.
For Lyss, a defining moment of the five-hour visit to Damascus came during a trip to the marketplace. An American Secret Service man cleared the way, "just pushing people aside," she said.
The people did not protest; they seemed used to such treatment, Lyss said.
Lyss was struck by "the contrasts of the police state, and people just going about their business, just living there."
During the visit, unlike previous trips by Jewish groups such as Americans for Peace Now or Project Nishma, there were no opportunities to meet with Syrian officials.
The Jewish leaders met with American Embassy officials, and attended the news conference held by Clinton and Syrian President Hafez Assad.
Pollack said he did not feel it inappropriate to visit Syria, despite that country's continuing harboring of terrorism and Assad's failure to convince the Israeli public that he truly desires peace.
"We were going as a group of Jewish Americans and Arab Americans to help the president in his efforts to advance the peace process," he said.
"I felt we were supporting a very strong message that the peace process should go forward, that terror will not be tolerated and that there will be a very proactive campaign to root out terror wherever it is, and wherever it is facilitated," he said.
The two visited with one of the few remaining of Syrian Jews, all of whom are now free to leave the country.
Four of the family's six brothers had moved to the United States, where they had established a business. Two stayed with their families to continue their business of selling rugs, jewelry and wooden boxes.
Lyss asked how they felt about life in Damascus, now that their rabbi and 95 percent of the Jewish community had departed.
"We are waiting to see what happens with peace," replied Elli Hamadani, said Lyss.
Lyss said that the American officials they met with felt "it is just a matter of time until there is a breakthrough with Syria."

Staffing Industry - Indispensable for a Strong Business
Although the staffing industry arguably dates back to Noah's Ark with matchmakers collecting not small sums for finding a rich man the right wife, we've only collectively thought of it as a line of business since labor fluidity became a potent competitive force after the Second World War.
And what a force it has become as organizations have realized quickly that winning at business means winning at recruitment and winning there requires getting the best possible service from temporary help agencies to headhunters to job boards to search engine experts. The rise of the industry is taking place in virtually all modern settings from Beijing to Uruguay and in all kinds of work from the lowliest laborer to the highest paid skill workers.
Along the way, the industry has adopted a new vocabulary. Assigned employee refers to a temporary work currently on assignment at a customer. Hiring manager refers to the person at the client company who makes the final decision on who gets hired. Buying influence in larger organization setting is the person who decides which agency to go with for the bulk of the organization's hiring needs.
The staffing industry all types of work from short-term to long-term. Short-term can include per diem nursing and day laborers and even tiny assignments of an hour or less for home care. Long-term often involves knowledge workers like accountants and IT staff but it can include common laborers as well.
The spread or gap that a temporary staffing firm charges can become the source of conflict. Defined as the difference between what the staffing firm charges and what it pays the worker, the spread represents the staffing firm's gross profit from which recruiter salaries, rent, interest is paid. The remainder is the profit.
Often an employer decides to hire a temporary full time and pays a buyout or conversion fee to the staffing firm for the right to do so. Some staffing contracts stipulate specific amounts, others may calculate a conversion fee based on the gross profit that would have been earned had the employee stayed with the staffing firm for a specified period. In any case, the event is often seen as a healthy one, an affirmation that the temporary staffing process is a healthy one that leads to great long term employment relationships.
As staffing takes hold in formerly socialist countries, the industry becomes a focal point for much discussion about the future of work. One staffing industry news website, Staffing Talk, covers the discussion on a daily basis.
Some hypothesize that the staffing industry will disappear with the rise of social networks that create frictionless sharing of all kinds of information from job openings to candidates and their skills. Their thinking is, who needs a recruiter if you can just go online and run a search? That notion, which reached its peak during the social media bubble between 2008 and 2010, has given way to new thinking the frictionless sharing that became popular with Facebook and LinkedIn is in fact not sharing at all.
The numbers seem to bear out the doubters. One staffing industry provider, Tempworks, who boasts clients in more than 14 countries reports that despite a lingering recession, the sales and gross profit numbers from staffing companies has reached an all-time peak in 2011 and the prognosis is for a strong 2012 as well.

I am wanting to balance a cone with a cylinder, in the way that Archimedes did in `The Method' with other objects. The plan is to find the volume of the cone using the volume of the cylinder. However, I seem to be having trouble finding a relationship between the sections of the cone and the sections of the cylinder I am balancing it with.
I know that the centre of gravity of the cone is 1/3 of the way along it, and the centre of gravity of the cylinder is half way along it. Having thought about this problem for a while I was convinced that if we take some proportion then the sections to the left and to the right of the respective centres of gravity by this proportion would balance (so the sections at and of the cylinder would balance with the sections and of the cone).
I could not get this to work, and in retrospect my guess was clearly wrong (just looking at the extremities gives a contradiction!)
Does anyone have any ideas?
Note that as I know what the volume of a cone is, I was attempting to use a cylinder of radius . This should, I believe, work.

As the playoffs get set to start, and the focus is on the field, there will still be numerous headlines made as teams wish their coaches a Happy New Year by firing them.
This will be a bloody week in the league, as owners do the expedient thing in firing a coach, and then try to figure out if the person they will hire is any better.
The great irony will be with the teams that hire fired coaches to replace the guy they fired.
And why does it seem that owners or general managers aren't held accountable for hiring the guys they fire? Some of it doesn't make sense. But fans don't go on talk shows and scream that the personnel director should be canned.
For instance, it was Bills president Tom Donahoe that hired Gregg Williams, but then decided last offseason not to re-sign wide receiver Peerless Price and draft running back Willie McGahee in the first round. The choice of McGahee might turn out to be a great one, but it sure didn't help Williams win games this past season.
Now that the firing and hiring season is officially open, most of the actual things that happen will be different than much of the speculation.
That thought was prompted by a recent comment on Fox, reporting that Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi was always looking for a reason to fire Jim Fassel.
Said Accorsi, "People just thought there was this thing that I wanted my own coach. Howie Long went on the air and said that I always wanted to get Jim. If there's any other reason not to take those shows seriously, that should be it. Nothing ever happened for anybody to say that. You only say that because of one reason: You want to say something on TV because it's entertaining.
"Bad entertainment, by the way. That was so absurd."
The story got its sea legs when then-GM George Young hired Fassel after Accorsi had recommended Nick Saban, who was then at Michigan State. Accorsi hadn't met Fassel when Young hired him.
Added Accorsi, "First of all, what did I care? Did I have any diluted feeling at the Super Bowl because I didn't hire him? And secondly, the guy that hired him was my closest friend ever in football. He was a link to George. Why would I think anything but that?
"Everybody thinks you want your own guy. What difference does it make? If I came here and (Vince) Lombardi was here, would I say, 'Gee, I want my own guy'? No, you'd ride his coattails to championships, that's what you would do.
"But that's the way the business is. It's perceptions."

Actually, English ismandatory in most schools and universities. Only very few peoplelearn other language as a second language. Therefore softwaredevelopers who are almost educated should have the basic Englishskill. However, that doesn't mean that they can read English orcommunicate with native English speaker very easily. Consider yoursecond language learn in school for analogy. Read in English will bemuch slower and more likely to cause misunderstanding. This willreduce the likelihood greatly of English documentation being read. Ifwe are promoting contribution to the Linux community, we shouldmaximum the possibility that these key documents being read.Translation will serve this purpose very well.So the possibility is very little that a translator is needed betweenthe Linux maintainer and a Chinese developer. Although sometimes helpis needed when there is misunderstanding.After a brief talk with the Japanese translator, I think the case issimilar for Japanese too.Therefore, in my opinion, language maintainer should be more a helperand promoter rather than a gatekeeper. I will give a proposed processlater about how this helper mechanism works.- Leo-To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to firstname.lastname@example.com majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlPlease read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

We left Culloden Battlefield around 1:30p or 2p and headed back west through Inverness to Loch Ness
I had cut up some veggies that we snacked on in the car … Mom had brought some "crisps" for more snacking.
Kevin and Chelsea were (finally) on their way north, so we told them to meet us at Urquhart Castle (on the North side of Loch Ness).
Great story about visiting Loch Ness from Jackie Travels
We had a *basic* ideas of where we were going (without the GPS), but again, the streets and sites are all really well signed so we didn't have much trouble finding Urquhart Castle at all….
Unlike Stirling Castle and Edinburgh Castle, Urquhart Castle is still in ruins, on the coast of Loch Ness. When we got there it wasn't super clear where to go to show our Explorer pass (to get into the castle). Of course, whatever we did was apparently wrong, and the employee was rather rude to us about it. Whatever. The only real rudeness on the whole trip (and the guy behind us in line kind of stood up for us).
For lunch, Andrew had gone to the grocery store to get stuff for sandwiches. We very precariously wrapped 8 slices of bread in paper towels and then in a plastic grocery bag, plus meat and cheese in their original packaging, plus cut up cucumbers. We decided to wait to eat until we got to Urquhart Castle, and luckily they have a small café with tables inside and outside (where we sat). Mom even finagled some "rogue condiments" from the café so we had mustard and such to put on our sandwiches.
(rogue condiments)
Urquhart Castle is still in ruins – just a shell of what it originally was. Its previous owners blew up the Castle to keep the Jacobites from taking possession of it.
While there's not a whole lot of historical information available at the castle itself, the visitor's center features a 10-ish minute video dramatizing the castle's history up until it was destroyed ~1692. Regardless, it is quite the beautiful location right on the lake….
Yes, Urquhart Castle is on Loch Ness. When we were planning our trip, pretty much EVERYONE asked us if we were going to visit Loch Ness.
Apparently, most "Nessie" sightings take place in the deepest part of the lake – just in front of where Urquhart Castle is situated.
Standing at the Castle, it's easy to see how someone could fool themselves into thinking they saw something. Between the dark, deep water and the wakes of boats and birds I'm sure could talk yourself into anything.
Sadly, we did NOT see Nessie.
From RICK STEVES:
Sightings on Loch Ness
In July of 1933, a couple swore that they saw a giant sea monster shimmy across the road in front of their car by Loch Ness. Within days, ancient legends about giant monsters in the lake (dating as far back as the sixth century) were revived – and suddenly everyone was spotting "Nessie" poke its head above the waters of Loch Ness.
In the last 75 years, further sightings and photographic "evidence" have bolstered the claim that there is something mysterious living in this unthinkably deep and murky lake. (Most sightings take place in the deepest part of the loch, near Urquhart Castle). Most witnesses describe a water-bound dinosaur
(resembling the real, but extinct, plesiosaur). Others cling to the slightly more plausible theory of a gigantic eel. And skeptics figure the sightings can be explained by a combination of reflections, boat wakes, and mass hysteria. The most famous photo (dubbed the "Surgeon's photo") was later discredited – the "monster's" head was actually attached to a toy submarine. But that hasn't stopped various cryptozoologists from seeking photographic, sonar and other proof.
Kevin and Chelsea left Aberfeldy around 11a or noon … drove ~2 hours north … stopped for lunch and THEN got to Urquhart, with maybe only an hour or 2 til the site closed.
The other 4 of us had plenty of time to wander the grounds of the castle – especially since there weren't really and placards or exhibits to read.
Mom walked down to the lake's shore to get a small Ziploc bag full of sand. She gathered sand from the west coast (in Oban), from Loch Ness …. And then the next day she would get sand from the east coast (in St. Andrew's). Each in its own labeled baggie…. And I imagine she got more when they went to Ireland! I don't think she was totally positive what she was going to do with this sand – but I'm picturing some kind of decorative display in little jars.
The castle is "protected" by a grassy moat … or, rather, steep grassy hills … ideal for sliding or rolling down if you're a kid.
It was SUCH a gorgeous day …. More on the Castle itself next ….

What really happened and who is right in the on-going social unrest in Ferguson, Missouri that began after an unarmed black man was shot by a police officer? That is the question we all are asking, but in truth can't know unless we were there. Without the ability to have witnessed the events firsthand, one must let the justice system work. However, it is clear that no matter whether or not the grand jury returns an indictment against the officer involved in the shooting, many will feel an injustice has been committed. In fact, many have left little doubt that if an indictment, irrespective of the evidence, is not returned, there will be violence http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/08/us/ferguson-missouri.html. Our job as citizens should be to protect the innocent, our families, and our neighborhoods from this violence whether it is at the hands of the mob or the police. With your support, LMS is prepared to help those in need. To help, please read on and contact us at email@example.com, subject line "Help Ferguson."
Ferguson has already endured more than its share of mob violence. If protestors want to vent their anger, they should properly focus their aggression against the police, judges, and politicians, but not local residents and businesses. Further, when protestors target innocent bystanders for simply being "white," they completely undermine their stated grounds for grievance (see links at bottom). If race was truly at the root of the Brown shooting, attacking whites, or any innocent person, demonstrates a complete hypocrisy of logic and turns legitimate protestors into a mob. Acting like a mob gives the police a legitimate justification to harshly crack down on any protests and only spurs more violence. A well-organized protest should be smart about this and not give the police any justification for the use of harsh crowd control tactics and be cognizant of optics created by the protestors. Wanton violence does not win the support of the public and only bolsters the state's argument for heavy handed actions none of us want. However, in light of the very public calls for violence if the grand jury doesn't indict the officer as demanded by the mob, we can safely predict in that event protests will quickly descend into mob violence and rioting.
The police are preparing for this contingency and no doubt will respond in force. Nonetheless, as we have previously reported, http://www.lastminutesurvival.com/2014/08/29/lessons-from-ferguson-policing-goes-paramilitary/, the best way to protect yourself, your family, your residence, and your business was not to rely on the police. The police have found that they can do little to protect the businesses and residents from rioting mobs and at best try to arrest the most egregious of actors. This has left business and residents of all races in Ferguson paralyzed by the continuing violence. In Ferguson, the only places spared by the mob were people who took up arms and organized to defend their lives and property and the wealthy able to pay for contract security. Clearly we all can't afford private security, so we are organizing to provide volunteer security services for citizens in need. In anticipation of the grand jury announcement and possible violence, LMS is establishing a special response team made up of citizens unwilling to allow innocent people to become victims and our cities to burn. We will be dedicating a page where anyone in need of help can request help or volunteer their protective services. We are in need of able bodied citizens and organizations of good character to contact us immediately. Those trained and legally able to carry a firearm in Missouri to include current and former law enforcement and military personnel as well as medical first responders are in great demand.
If you or a loved one has family and friends or a business in or around Ferguson and need protection, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, subject line "Help Ferguson" and we will attempt to match you with volunteers willing to travel to that location and stand guard. Please post this information to social media such as chat rooms, Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, etc. to get the word out and help the citizens of Ferguson. For professional support, LMS also provides contract private security consultation and protective services that can be requested at email@example.com, subject line "Security and Protective Services."
