The European airline industry has seen the future of aviation. It's sleek and organic, carries a sextet of turbines, and its powertrain works a lot like the Chevrolet Volt.
The European aerospace consortium EADS has recently shown everything from its largest airliner, the Airbus A380, to its latest electric airplane idea, the E-Fan. But tucked inside the company's huge chalet at the Paris Air Show was a small model where the two concepts meet – in 2050.
The E-Thrust project is part of the EADS Innovation Works program, a partnership with engine maker Rolls-Royce. The two companies are looking at ways to meet the European Commission's future vision of air travel, which includes dramatic reductions in emissions and noise.
Like the NASA turboelectric distributed propulsion research project (TeDP), the EADS distributed electrical aerospace propulsion project (DEAP) uses a serial electric hybrid system to power the airliner of the future (AotF... just kidding).
Electric airplanes like the E-Fan, the long range Solar Impulse, or Chip Yates' electrified Long-EZ all point to an ending where either range, speed or payload (often all three) are sacrificed for the ability to fly on pure electric power.
The idea behind the E-Thrust is to use several electrically driven fans to provide the thrust, but the power supply will be a gas-turbine engine employed during cruising when it just needs enough juice to stay in the air. When it needs more power – during takeoff and climbing – an "energy storage system," (aka batteries) will provide an additional source of grunt for the fans.
As a starting point, the EADS concept has two banks of three electric fans tucked into the wing roots of the airplane. Because they can be much smaller than the fan-jet engines of today, they don't have to hang from the wing, and are instead placed where they create less drag, and can also re-energize the air out the back reducing drag from the airplane's turbulent wake. A single turbine engine in the tail ingests boundary layer air from the top of the fuselage in an effort to further reduce overall drag.
In many ways the E-Thrust concept is an electric deconstruction of current jet engine technology. Unlike the early days of jet aircraft, today's airliners only get a fraction of their push from jet thrust. Most of the propulsion is provided by the giant fan at the front of the engine, which accelerates air just like a propeller.
These high bypass ratio fans are powered by the jets, and there's no reason they couldn't be powered by electricity instead. But since batteries are impractical in their current form as the sole energy source, you need an alternative supply to provide the majority of the power. So like Chevrolet has done with the Volt, EADS will use a relatively small jet engine as a generator to power the fans and charge up the batteries during cruise. With power reduced during the descent, the windmilling electric fans could recharge the batteries on the airplane, providing a small amount of regenerative energy – or in car terms, "regenerative braking" similar to how hybrid-electric cars recoup energy when braking.
The fact that the E-Thrust on display in Paris was simply a plastic display on a podium is a clear indication that it's still a long way from taking to the skies. Both the DEAP system from EADS and NASA's TeDP rely heavily on superconducting motors to provide the electrical power needed for flight, without the massive amounts of heat that would be generated by standard electric motors.
We don't expect to see an E-Thrust airliner – or a TeDP plane from Boeing – anytime soon. But both ideas show promise and could spawn a concept that isn't destined to vaporplane limbo.

Gareth Bale was born in Wales and learned to play professional soccer in the English Premier League. But lately he's become a passionate advocate for Spain's La Liga, where he is about to begin his second season with Real Madrid.
"The Spanish league is the most exciting and the world's top players play there," he told the BBC. "The Premier League is a great league but we are attracting the best players to La Liga."
Bale, lured to Spain by a record $140-million transfer fee last summer, talked with the BBC a day after his team paid another $148 million for World Cup stars James Rodriguez of Colombia and Toni Kroos of Germany. In Madrid they will join a roster that includes not just Bale but reigning world player of the year Cristiano Ronaldo and Spanish national team captain Iker Casillas.
Two weeks earlier, league rival Barcelona paid $126 million — the third-highest transfer fee in history — for Liverpool's Luis Suarez, who joins a team that includes four-time world player of the year Lionel Messi and Brazilian standout Neymar.
And more stars could be coming with Manchester United reportedly close to a deal that would send Mexican striker Javier Hernandez and Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa to Spain.
"This is just the beginning," says La Liga President Javier Tebas. "We've demonstrated over the last five seasons that capacity to attract good players. We have the best teams in the world and the best players in the world. So without a doubt it's the best league in the world."
Actually that last point is up for debate. Because while those star-studded rosters have helped Real Madrid and Barcelona establish themselves as the world's two most valuable sports franchises — Fortune magazine says Real is worth more than the Dodgers and Lakers combined — that rising tide is not raising all boats in the 20-team Spanish league.
If anything, the widening gap in talent and financial resources that separates Real and Barcelona from the rest of La Liga is threatening to make Spain's league season, which starts Aug. 23, all but irrelevant.
France's Ligue 1, which has its own super-rich superpower in Paris Saint-Germain, became the first of Europe's five major soccer leagues to kick off the new season when it opened play Friday, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoring twice — but missing a penalty kick — in a 2-2 draw with Reims.
England's Premier League starts next weekend, to be followed by Germany's Bundesliga on Aug. 22, La Liga a day later and, finally, Italy's Serie A on Aug. 31.
And all five leagues begin their campaigns lacking parity. In France, the deep-pocketed Qatari owners of Paris Saint-Germain have spent so lavishly the team has won consecutive league titles while being heavily penalized by UEFA, European soccer's governing body, for violating financial fair play rules.
Ditto Manchester City, whose Abu Dhabi owners have also been sanctioned for overspending while winning two of the last three EPL titles. Meanwhile Bayern Munich, with a roster that includes six starters from the German team that won last month's World Cup, has captured three of the last five Bundesliga championships while in Italy Juventus has won three consecutive crowns.
But nowhere is the lack of equality more pronounced than in Spain, where Atletico Madrid's draw with Barcelona on the final day of play in May ended a streak that had seen Barcelona and Real combine to win nine consecutive La Liga titles.
That success helped both teams negotiate broadcast deals far more lucrative than those of their league rivals, bringing in millions they used to sign players such as Bale, Rodriguez and Suarez, further widening the gap between rich and poor.
Because Spanish clubs are allowed to cut their own broadcast deals, Real and Barcelona earned nearly $190 million each from TV rights in 2012-13, 46% of the total earned by La Liga's 20 teams combined. Atletico Madrid, with the third-best broadcast deal, got about a third that amount while 12 teams — more than half the league — reportedly had TV contracts worth less than $19 million each.
With many La Liga teams struggling with massive debt, such inequality threatens to destroy the league. But Tebas isn't panicking.
"There are two giant clubs. But there are also other clubs as well," he said in a phone interview. And despite their financial problems, Tebas points out, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao have all reached the Europa League final in the last three years.
"Everything is possible in the world of sports," he adds cheerfully. "Especially in soccer, where with little money you can win championships."
Remaining competitive over time, however, is another matter. Consider the plight of Atletico Madrid. After winning its first league title in 18 years and reaching the Champions League final for the first time in four decades, the club still couldn't afford to keep the core of its roster, losing Diego Costa, David Villa and Filipe Luis to better-paying teams outside Spain.
And that has again drawn the attention of Spanish politicians who, for the third time in five years, have proposed legislation that would, among other things, transfer control of TV deals to the league, which would then split the money more evenly much as the EPL does. Those reforms are expected to be approved by the end of the year.
Tebas would also like to see La Liga teams adopt other EPL models for raising money as well. This summer, for example, nine English teams spent part of their preseason touring the U.S., where guarantees of $2 million or more per game are not uncommon and sponsorship deals can earn teams tens of millions more.
As a result increasing his league's profile in the lucrative U.S. and Asian markets has become a key goal for the Costa Rican-born Tebas, who met with potential business partners in San Francisco earlier this summer to push his message.
"La Liga is much more than two teams," he says. "These players wouldn't come to a league that wasn't competitive."
But unless the league's financial model expands beyond the current duopoly, most of those players won't be able to afford a long stay.

SUV crashes into house in North Union Township
No injuries reported on Center Avenue
The driver of an SUV went off the road and crashed into a Fayette County home early Thursday morning, causing a lot of damage before taking off.
Trees were knocked down, and the front porch of the house on Center Avenue was destroyed and has been roped off because it could collapse.
Photos: SUV crashes into home
Video: Watch the report
A family of three living in the home were not hurt. They said it sounded like an earthquake just after 3 a.m., and they were afraid to come outside because they didn't know what they would find -- and when they did, they were in shock.
Lisa Rust told Channel 4 Action News that her insurance company told her she will probably have to front thousands of dollars in repair costs before being reimbursed.
"I don't know how it's going to happen. I really don't. I work paycheck to paycheck just like a lot of people. I barely get by," said Rust.
On top of all the damage, the family also doesn't have heat.
"They turned the gas back on, but the boiler won't start, so we have no heat," said Rust.
Rust said she doesn't think they can stay in the home very long and her family is hoping the Salvation Army or the Red Cross can assist them.
"The insurance company said we can go stay somewhere, but of course, there again, it's out of pocket," said Rust.
State police are working to track down the driver who caused the damage.
"All they saw was a shadow running up the street," homeowner Lisa Rust said. "I think it probably knocked him out. It took him a few minutes, from what the neighbors say, for him to get out of his car. Hopefully they find out who it was, and they get this guy, because he's definitely put our family out."
Neighbors described the vehicle as a dark Jeep Grand Cherokee, possibly black.

Why Conservative?
From Conservapedia
Why Conservative? Here are some reasons to embrace—and teach—conservative principles:
- they give you the power to defeat addiction
- they provide a basis for ignoring or rejecting nonsensical liberal media stories, Hollywood values and professor values
- they welcome and enhance faith
- they welcome and apply logic
- they resist deceit and liberal tricks
- they welcome and encourage self-defense, which is essential to psychological and emotional well-being
- they minimize liberal stress felt by teenagers[1]
- they welcome and promote fidelity and frugality
- they encourage self-help and betterment
- they aid traditional religion by reacting to and addressing modern culture
Conservative values have a unifying affect on people of faith despite differences in religion. Churches have reunited after centuries of division and discord based on an agreement on conservative values.
Conservative values are powerful in resisting encroachment by the entitlement mentality on institutions, including churches and church staffs.

Pentagon denies movement of aircraft carriers is linked to Iran tensions
Paul Joseph Watson
Thursday, January 12, 2012
A total of three US warships will patrol the waters surrounding the Strait of Hormuz following confirmation that a third aircraft carrier strike group is being sent to the Arabian Sea as tensions with Iran rise.
"Another carrier strike group, led by the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, concluded a port visit to Thailand on Tuesday and was now in the Indian Ocean. It is on track to join the Vinson in the Central Command area of operations, which begins in the neighboring Arabian Sea," reports Reuters.
The USS Lincoln and the USS Vinson will join the USS John C. Stennis strike group which is already in the region. Pentagon officials state the Stennis is scheduled to return to its home port in San Diego but refused to clarify exactly when this would occur.
The Pentagon's denial that the movement of the warships has anything to do with Iran's recent threat to close the Strait of Hormuz, an act that would prompt global economic chaos and provide a pretext for war, holds little credence.
Iran is set to conduct a "massive" new naval drill over the next two weeks that will coincide with a major US/Israeli wargame exercise in the same region, increasing the chances that a war provocation manufactured by either side could take place.
The announcement followed an escalation in rhetoric after the United States sent the massive battleship USS John C. Stennis sailing through the narrow Strait of Hormuz amidst Iranian wargames based around closing the Strait, a key oil choke point.
Iran responded by firing off missiles during the drill and ordering the US aircraft carrier to "stay out of the Persian Gulf".
We first reported that the USS Abraham Lincoln was on its way to the troubled region on December 8, noting at the time that the United States had a total of five major aircraft carriers deployed around the world, the same number of warships that were in action shortly before the invasion of Iraq in early 2003.
In a related development, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev told Russian news agency Interfax that Israeli pressure on the United States to attack Iran was building.
"There is a likelihood of a military conflict escalation, to which the Americans are being pushed by Israel," he said, adding that economic sanctions by the west, which have caused the rial to plunge against the dollar, could be part of an effort to provoke instability and precipitate a "color revolution" that would lead to an overthrow of the Ahmadinejad regime.
Tensions went up another notch yesterday after terrorists assassinated yet another Iranian nuclear expert. Israeli sources confirm the car bomb attack in Tehran which killed Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan was jointly carried out by the US-backed MEK terror group and the Israeli Mossad.

Congratulations! Lassen County wolf couple welcomes pups
Gray wolves on state, federal endangered species list
Gray wolves on state, federal endangered species list
A Lassen County wolf couple is proud to announce that they are now a pack! They welcomed three new pups this year!
The Lassen Wolf Pack, a name given to the family by a U.S. Forest Service employee who first found the wolves, is the second pack of gray wolves in California since their extinction from the state in the 1920s, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said Wednesday.
The female and male gray wolf were first spotted traveling together during the summer of 2016 on remote trail cameras in Lassen County. CDFW said there was no evidence then that the two had produced pups.
Then in June 2017, CDFW biologists were able to trap the female wolf, exam her, put a collar on her and then release her back into the Lassen National Forest. On July 1, during a routine follow up on the female wolf, biologists found evidence of wolf pups.
The pups and their mother were caught playing in front of a USFS trail camera on June 29 and June 30.
The tracking collar will help CDFW collect data on the Lassen Pack and the female wolf's habits. The pack regularly travels on both public and private lands. The pack has also traveled into Plumas County.
Gray wolves are on the federal and state endangered species list.

Boston College students caught partying off campus this school year will face arrest as the school rolls out a new zero-tolerance policy.
Boston College students caught partying off campus this school year will face arrest as the school rolls out a new zero-tolerance policy and team policing to cut down on the raucous undergraduate revelry that disturbs Brighton neighbors.
"We are sending a message, setting the tone, and we want to see how this works," said BC's vice president of community affairs, Tom Keady, at a BC task force meeting Tuesday.
Under BC's plan, the school would hire five Boston Police officers to patrol problem areas such as Cleveland Circle, Chestnut Hill Avenue and Lake Street on Thursday through Saturday nights side by side with Boston College Police. The school would pay for the overtime details with its own funds. "To my knowledge, this has never been done before," Keady said in reference to the team policing.
In the past, BC Police only had jurisdiction on campus and could do little to stop off-campus parties, BC Police Chief Robert Morse said. This year, the BC Police are working on obtaining sheriff's powers in Suffolk County.
"Zero tolerance means they'll be arrested," Morse said. "We're hiring Boston Police to arrest students."
Officer Steve Law from the D-14 community service department said that local officers are on board and have been ordered to do more than just break up keggers and late-night merrymaking.
"Capt. [Genevieve] King has made it clear that if we show up and a party is raging, arrest is the preferred response," he said, drawing applause from the crowd.
The college and neighbors are hoping that arrests are not the major means of stopping off-campus partying.
BC is notifying students through mailings, e-mails and mandatory meetings that "if they go off campus and get in trouble, they should expect to deal with the consequences," interim Dean of Students Paul Chebator said.
Any student arrested is put on university probation, and another incident will result in a one-year suspension from the school, Chebator said.
To keep students on campus, the college will begin hosting weekly events dubbed "Nights on the Heights," with dances and stand-up comedians.
Keady said the school will also visit areas that have been problems in the past so that trouble never starts.
"We are looking at this year as the year we can spread out and respond to complaints the community has," Chebator said.
After a chaotic meeting in June that saw an attendee removed, the mood at Tuesday's meeting was calm, with several residents and task force members saying they supported the measures BC is taking.
"I'm really encouraged," said resident Karen Marshall. "Please, keep coming back and tell us what's working and what's not."
Several neighbors said they didn't necessarily want to see students arrested, but would like to see more students housed on campus to lessen the neighborhood impact.
"Who I'd like to see expelled is the absentee, negligent landlords," said Theresa Hynes. "They are the people ruining the neighborhood."
Keady said that he agreed with the statement, and BC is making strides to house more students on campus as part of its 10-year master plan. The college currently houses 85 percent of its undergrads, and in 10 years wants that number to be 92 percent.Whom to notify if you have problems:
Boston Police are always the first call to make when it comes to late-night merrymaking in Allston and Brighton, but police are often inundated with parties on weekends.
"I can be the first to tell you, on a Friday or Saturday night, we won't get to them all," said Officer Steve Law.
If police aren't showing up, call Boston College Police at 617-552-4440.
If there's a problem during a weekday, call the BC Office of Community Affairs at 617-552-4787.
If you still feel like police haven't adequately responded, called the District D-14 community service department the next day at 617-343-4376. Provide the police with an exact address, if possible; the community service officers keep a list of homes they've already visited and make them a priority for patrols, Law said.

DailyOM - The Available Parent: Radical Optimism for Raising Teens and Tweens by Dr. John Duffy
The Available Parent: Radical Optimism for Raising Teens and Tweens
The Available Parent: Radical Optimism for Raising Teens and Tweens
BY Dr. John Duffy
Teenagers are left feeling unheard and misunderstood, and parents are left feeling bewildered by the changes in their child at adolescence and their sudden lack of effectiveness as parents. The parent has become unavailable, the teen responds in kind, and a negative, often destructive cycle of communication begins. Well, the truth of the matter is, you can physically be right next to someone and still not really be available to them. If you need them to be something they're not, if you are harsh, criticizing and judging, if your anxiety is center stage, then you are not truly available.
The available parent of a teenager is open to discussion, offering advice and problem-solving, but not insisting on it. He allows his child to make some mistakes, setting limits, primarily where health and safety are concerned. He never lectures -- he is available but not controlling. The available parent is self-aware, and keeps his own emotions in check when dealing with his teen. He is unconditionally loving and accepting, and open to new and different ways of thinking. As such, he is neither cruel nor dismissive, ever. The available parent is fun and funny, and can bring levity to the most stressful situation. All of that is to say, there are no conditions to his availability -- it is absolute. The available parent fosters an extraordinary teenager.
We have a tendency today to over-parent, micro-manage, and under-appreciate our adolescents. Imagine for a moment shifting the dynamic in your relationship. If you can get there as a parent, you can begin to enjoy a healthy, satisfying, exciting new kind of relationship with your teenager, a relationship with a foundation not of fear, but of radical optimism. Dr. John Duffy's The Available Parent is a revolutionary approach to taking care of teens and tweens.
And we can all breathe easier as a thirteenth birthday approaches.
The Good-Enough Teenager
"Love me like you would have if I had turned out the way you pictured."
--Amy, 15
The challenge for you is to acknowledge and accept your children right now, where they are. Too often, we expect our children to be different than they choose to be. We judge them, and the clear message they receive, far too often, is "You're not good enough." I work with many a parent who will present a laundry list of changes a teenager needs to make to graduate to the "good enough" category. If this scenario resonates with you, consider a life with your teenager that is peaceful, where you choose not to judge her, where you support and accept and love her. You need to know that you can decide, right now, before you finish this paragraph, that from here forward, your child will always be good enough in your eyes.
"Good enough" is a starting point, not an ending point. In order to have a relationship with your teen, in order to have influence in his life, you need to acknowledge, accept, and challenge him. You need to respect his boundaries and show that you believe in his ability to master his world. Now, your acknowledgment and acceptance may not mean he is jazzed to sit down with you and entertain a serious talk about grades, but you never know. I've seen a number of situations where a teenager will seek out a parent for help when he's struggling. Believe me, this simply does not happen without acceptance and acknowledgment. This much I know for sure.
Once you acknowledge, accept, and challenge, openly and without judgment, you are available. Then you can really begin to parent. Your discipline will have teeth. Your opinion will matter. Your voice will be in their minds when your children are making tough decisions late at night. If they believe they're not good enough in your eyes, they'll throw in the towel on your relationship as well. But remember, you will have done so first. Don't be that parent. Rejection of your teen will attract heartache and frustration to you, years of joylessness and fear. Start with acceptance, acknowledgment, and understanding, and you've got something. Be truly available, and your relationship can be among the greatest joys of your life.
Indulge me for just a few moments in an exercise. Find a time when your teenager is occupied in a more public area of your home, somewhere other than her bedroom. She may be reading, talking on the phone, playing a game, or listening to music. For the purposes of this exercise, as long as she is occupied, it really doesn't matter. Now, find a comfortable seat in another room. First, I would ask you to gently remove from your mind, just for these moments, any feelings of anger, ill will, disappointment, or resentment you harbor toward her. Take a few moments alone to close your eyes and take a few deep, cleansing breaths. For the next several minutes, assume that all is right with the world. You needn't worry about a thing. You can cast all of your concerns, just for now, totally aside. As you inhale, allow your lungs to fill with a sense of well-being and contentment. As you exhale, envision your negative thoughts leaving you. Once you feel calm, open your eyes. Stand up, go into the room where your child is occupied, and take a seat. Continue your deep breathing.
Just watch her discreetly for a few moments as you attend to your breathing. Sit quietly, watch, and listen. With no demand on yourself, take note in your mind of what you see in her, what you hear from her. Look at the shine of her hair. Allow yourself to marvel at the perfection of her hands. Listen to her voice and her laughter, her very breathing. Watch her smile. Does she ponder her world? In what ways does she look like you? Now, look at your child's beautiful eyes. How long has it been since you have seen them in this way? Breathe in the miracle that is your teenager.
When you feel ready, go back to the room where you began this exercise, relaxing and breathing. Have a seat, and take a few more cleansing breaths. Now, think about your teenager. How are you feeling about her now?
In this exercise, I am encouraging you to see your teenager with the same sense of awe and wonder that you had when you first laid eyes on her, when she was a newborn baby. If you participated fully in this exercise, I'll bet it felt pretty good. If you conduct this exercise from time to time, you may find you get into the habit of appreciation and gratitude for the presence of your teenager in your life. She makes things interesting, doesn't she? She is a force. She can be upsetting and frustrating, yes. This in fact is part of her job. At her core, though, underneath it all, she is wonderful and amazing--a miracle, really. And you as a parent are really so fortunate. You have the opportunity to parent this wonderful, challenging person, to affect the future of her life, your life, your family, and perhaps everyone. A large responsibility, yes, but none could equal the rewards.

Larry Dobrow is the latest to play the stereotype-card and make a lame Rays attendance "joke." Keep in mind, this is a piece on utility players that are having a good season. What does that have to do with Rays attendance? We have no idea. But here is the note on Ben Zobrist, who ranks as the second-best "utility scrub"* (thanks Andy).
He's the rare guy on this list who plays two positions well. Factor in the bat and the Zorilla nickname, and you've got a fan favorite. Well, you would if the Rays had any fans.
Get it? It's because the Rays don't draw 4 million fans a year!
Our question for Larry Dobrow is: If the Rays don't have any fans, then how many fans do the Reds, A's and Blue Jays have? Those three teams have winnings records and average fewer fans per games than the Rays. But hey, making a joke about Rays attendance is easy when a baseball writer is lazy.
Hey Larry, research is a writer's friend. Try it some time.
*Apparently, playing 56 of your team's 59 games with 43 of those at one position now qualifies one as a "utility scrub."

The other day I had a dentist appointment and they told me that I needed to quit drinking so much soda. I am addicted to caffeine and not drinking soda is something I think is absolutely crazy. It is more difficult than you think. I just started to drink water today only instead of soda. I am hoping that I can keep drinking water throughout the day to avoid the soda. My goal is to have soda out of my diet completely by the 10th of May. Continue reading "My Goal 1: Stop Drinking Soda"

Andrew's Bucket List
I have been working on this list for the last two days. There are so many things I would like to achieve before I die. Some of the ideas may sound super impossible but that will not stop me. I will achieve what I can. Continue reading "Andrew's Bucket List"
Setting Life Goals
Having a goal set will always let you achieve more in life. You can tell yourself all the time that you will get it done, but if you don't set that goal, you may never achieve what you want. You aren't going to push yourself to get anything done. I started to make a list of goals/things I want to accomplish. As I go through that list I am going to pick one item and give myself a time frame to accomplish it. This way I know I will make progress in my life. Continue reading "Setting Life Goals"
My 20th Birthday
Waking up on my birthday today was just like a normal day. A normal day with people constantly telling you "Happy Birthday" and you in return telling them "Thank you". My birthday is nothing special to me. It hasn't been for the last few years. The last two years since my 18th birthday I sit and think to myself "What am I doing?", "Where am I going?", "Where do I need to be headed?", and "Who am I?" Continue reading "My 20th Birthday"

This article explains why I participated in the Australian Women Writers challenge this year.
It is also part of why I was so, so pleased with Julia Gillard's speech in parliament this week, openly accusing the opposition leader of sexism, and even more so with the subseqent interview Penny Wong gave on the 7:30 report.
In the interview Senator Wong points out that the PM being called "precious or a victim" or the equivalent is par for the course when a women speaks up against sexism, and is part of how we continue to we silence women in this country.
We need to be having this conversation in mainstream Australia. We need to be having it in the media.
'Women who do speak out—whether against sexism in the literary world or in the church or in the academy or in politics—are often accused of "whining," and then, like children, they are punished. But I am convinced the risk is worth it.
'Author V. S. Naipaul recently claimed in an interview with the Royal Geographic Society that there was not a single female writer he considered his equal—not even Jane Austen, whose work he dismissed as "sentimental."...
'It might be possible to dismiss Naipaul's blatant sexism as the ravings of an arrogant misogynist if there were structural equality in the publishing industry, but there isn't. For the second year in a row, VIDA: Women in Literary Arts released a series of pie charts (the VIDA count) showcasing annual data comparing the rate of publication between women and men in the writing world's most respected literary outlets—and things don't look good for women who write.2 VIDA reports that in 2011, The Atlantic published 184 articles and pieces of fiction by men and 64 by women; 18 of their book reviewers were men and 8 were women; and 24 of the authors reviewed were men, compared to 12 women. Harper's Magazine published 65 articles by men and 13 articles by women; 23 of their book reviewers were men and 10 were women; 53 of the authors reviewed were men, 19 were women. The New York Review of Books published 133 articles by men and 19 by women; 201 of their book reviewers were male and 53 were female; and they reviewed 75 male authors and only 17 female authors. I could go on. The New Yorker, The New York Times Book Review, The New Republic, The London Review of Books—all pay more attention to books and essays and articles and poems and short stories written by men than they do to those written by women.
'Gendered responses to women's writing have led several women to create alter egos in an effort to determine whether it is their ideas that generate hostile responses or whether simply being a woman with an opinion is enough on its own, no matter what they write. In "Disagree with Me—But Not Because I'm a Black Woman," Hannah Pool describes creating an online white male alter ego, Harry Pond. "I went on to a couple of threads. The opinions were my own, but the name a fake," she writes. "Unsurprisingly, Harry Pond received no racism and no sexism, in fact very little of anything by way of comment. People engaged with 'Harry' in a grownup manner, without the need for insults. Is this what it's like to be a white man? Having people accept your right to a difference of opinion?"3 In 2009, researcher Emily Glassberg sent out identical scripts to theaters in the United States, half with a male name and half with a female name. She found that those believed to have been written by women were rated significantly worse by artistic directors and literary managers than those written by men. "This was even the case when many of those artistic directors and literary managers were women."4
'I am beginning to understand why Mary Ann Evans changed her name to George Eliot.
'[Author Dani Shapiro described] a recent post by Tim Parks on the The New York Review of Books blog in which Parks explores how "the writer's job" is currently understood and illustrates how this conception has changed over time. Parks mentions many writers—Sophocles, Virgil, Pope, Petrarch, Chaucer, Byron, Shelley, T. S. Eliot, Rushdie, Pamuk, Coetzee. "It was on second read that it occurred to me that there were no women. Not one," Shapiro said. "This was written by someone who simply doesn't have female writers as any kind of reference."
'What does it mean that a supposedly historical account of the writer's job can ignore all female writers? Most contemporary statistics suggest that women are writing more books than men are writing, and women are reading more books than men are reading, and women are buying more books than men are buying, and yet our work, our very existence, is regularly made to disappear. What effect does this erasure have? On women? On writers? On readers? Theater critic and novelist Alison Croggon writes, "If millions of reinforcing signals say a woman's work is less significant, something will eventually begin to stick."
'What can be done?
'First, buy books written by women. Novels, memoirs, theology, political nonfiction, scientific explorations, poetry, history, mysteries. Put yourself on a diet of books by women and see what happens. Read them with your book groups. Review them online. Disagree with their ideas. Critique their arguments. Revel in the power of their words.'

- The role of the team coach is to support the group to reach its goal, and ensure security for learning.
I'd use a comma. Without it, the reader might think that the role of the coach was to support the group (1) to reach its goal and (2) to ensure security.
I'd say, " help the group to reach it's goal' or 'support the group inr eaching its goal'.
- If you feel that certain values and principles should be followed by the team, and individuals should act accordingly
A comma stops the reader thinking that the values and principles should be followed by both teams and by individuals. I's also add a 'that' before 'individuals'.

This violet-cloaked wizard was an old man Vernon Dursley ran into in November 1981. Upon being knocked over by the latter, he stood back up and, told Vernon no apology was necessary as nothing could upset him that day and walked off, but not before giving Dursley a hug around the middle. He, among many other wizards, was in gleeful spirits that day as Lord Voldemort had been nearly vanquished (although everyone believed he was completely gone) thanks to the baby Harry Potter.[1]

Usually weeks pass by extremely fast here in Tokyo, but this week has been the slowest week ever.
I felt now was the right time, a week since "the big one" that I should update everyone and hopefully inform them of my experience here in Tokyo.
The overblown media attention has got my friends and family back home in hysterics worried about my safety here in Japan. So it needs to be said that I am safe and well.
People should firstly understand that most of the damage occurred around the Sendai/Fukushima area which is around 300km away. The destruction in Minami Sanriku was largely caused by the tsunami that followed the tremors. This photo essay by Max Hodges shows some tearful, but dramatic images.
Please have a good look at a map of Japan, people!
There have been so many reports of higher radiation in Tokyo, but from what I read even in a worse-case scenario of a meltdown or windblown radioactive debris and acid rain, the risk being far away here is reasonably low.
This video is a good representation of the Fukushima plant as depicted with Nuclear Reactor Boy wanting to have a poo.
Although there have been reports of rolling blackouts, I have yet to experience any shortage of power. It's strange seeing the vending machines switched off. Surely that will be enough to supply a small town of electricity! The train schedules have been cut back to save electricity but knowing exactly how they're running is still a bit vague.
The supermarkets and convenience stores are still devoid of bread, milk and noodles, (and toilet paper!) from people's unnecessary panic buying, but other foodstuffs are plentiful and I am not worried about that at all.
Reports that people are panicking and leaving Tokyo in droves is just not true. I was out yesterday and today people are going about their normal business as calmly as before.
What may be of concern are the ongoing aftershocks.
Usually in Tokyo it's not unusual to feel earthquakes, but ever since last Friday there have been so many I've lost count. What is a little more comforting is that they are about the usual strength (between 4.6-6), and last only around ten seconds. I'm not scared, but it does put one "on edge".
I am weary, but not so much from what is happening around me. The calls to come home make me tired. Four years here I have a lot to prepare, and with that a lot of "baggage". I'm not quite ready to leave just yet. Still a lot of unfinished business.
Before this all happened, I had already planned a short time-out of Japan. So, next week I'll be in another country, and have a much-needed reprieve from what's going on.

Cleaning for health: custodians honored for improving school environment
Custodians receive first ever C.L.E.A.N. Award from SDA, NEA, CDC
WASHINGTON - March 12, 2009 -
The critical role that custodians play in improving school health through cleaning is now in the spotlight.
Custodians from five schools across the country are being recognized with the first ever National C.L.E.A.N.® Award from The Soap and Detergent Association (SDA), the National Education Association Health Information Network (NEA HIN) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The top recipient, Pat Nicholson of Washington State's Brownsville Elementary School, is receiving a prize package that includes a $5,000 cash award, products and supplies for his school, and a school celebration on National C.L.E.A.N. Day.
C.L.E.A.N.—Custodial Leaders for Environmental Advocacy Nationwide—recognizes the contributions that custodians make to public health in their schools, communities and their profession.
"Custodians are critical partners in creating healthy, clean and safe schools for our students," said NEA President Dennis Van Roekel. "They take so much pride in their work and know that what they do every day fosters an environment where students can learn more effectively."
Applicants for the C.L.E.A.N. Award provided information on their worksite, cleaning responsibilities, how they have demonstrated leadership for school cleanliness achievements, evidence of collaboration and how their work has enhanced the image of the custodian. Applications were evaluated on originality, creativity, ability to sustain results, evidence of teamwork and program impact.
"Cleaning for Health"
"The greatest challenge that I see for school custodians today is to make the paradigm shift from cleaning for appearance to cleaning for health," said Pat Nicholson, the top award recipient. "Custodians that effectively clean for health create and maintain clean schools, healthier students, and higher rates of student achievement. Custodians are vital partners in successful public schools."
"These professionals work every day to properly and safely use cleaning products that help keep our schools healthy," said Nancy Bock, SDA Vice President of Education. "Their passion and commitment to improving their school environment—for students, teachers and all of their colleagues—showcase how important they are to communities around the nation."
At Brownsville Elementary School in Bremerton, Wash., Pat Nicholson wrote much of the custodial training material for the local school district. His "cleaning for health" practices contributed to lower absentee rates at Brownsville than at neighboring schools, especially during flu season.
The other award honorees put forth great ideas in their schools as well.
Custodians: Making Hygiene a Priority
Briana Rivera at Saks Elementary School (Anniston, Ala.) presents a "clean classroom certificate" to the teacher and students who keep their classroom the neatest. At Round Top Elementary School (Blythewood, S.C.), Felicia Palmer created a Golden Spatula Award to recognize classes that keep their cafeteria table and surrounding areas clean.
Emmons Elementary School (Mishawaka, Ind.) Rick Johnson developed a Custodial Cadet Program, which is a voluntary apprentice program that provides students with daily practical cleaning experience. Rick also started the school's recycling program.
At Hanover-Horton Middle/High School (Horton, Mich.), the team of Cindy Fisher, Angela Guisinger and John Smith use innovative solutions to involve students in maintaining clean surroundings, teaching them responsibility and instilling a sense of pride in their own school. The previous cleaning program was completely restructured to emphasize cleanliness and sanitization rather than merely focusing on the appearance of classrooms.

There is always a danger, when documenting the cascading madness of a public figure, that they will someday snap, clouding all your previous coverage in tragedy.
Fortunately ... as of now, Stephon is still with us, losing his mind and both entertaining and unsettling us in the process. So we can keep the fun going!
Just watch this snippet again. And that's just a SNIPPET. Marbury would have been a potential nominee had he never heard of Ustream. Now? I think Daulerio should offer him a job.

It's Caroll Shelby's personal '69 GT500 convertible and it just went up for sale here at the big BJ. That's right — a '69 at a BJ. It's been parked in the Mustang main man's garage since 1969. One owner — and one buyer today's getting it. Bidding started in the $100,000 range and quickly skyrocketed up into the half a million range, and then finally settled in for a final winning bid of $675,000 to collector Ron Pratte — who appears to be buying up absolutely everything with Shelby's name on it that he can get his hands on. Full Barrett-Jackson description after the jump.
"Mustang Monthly" July 2001 issue listed this car as the number one car on top of their "Top 10 Dream Cars" to own. A 1960's Shelby Cobra Mustang that has been owned by Carroll Shelby since new. A 5-year concours rotisserie restoration by nationally known Shelby restorer Jim Cowles completed in September 2007. Carroll Shelby only owns one other Shelby from the 1960's since new and that is the first Shelby AC Cobra, CSX2000.

Cafe Terrace at Night, also known as The Cafe Terrace on the Place du Forum, is a painting by the Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh which was done in Arles, France in September 1888. Today it has been carefully recreated detail by detail, color by color to near perfection. Why settle for a print when you can add sophistication to your rooms with a beautiful fine gallery reproduction oil painting? In this painting Van Gogh depicts a cafe in Arles, then Cafe Terrace and today it is called Cafe van Gogh. The style of the painting is unique for Van Gogh with warm colors and depth of perspective. This is the first painting Van Gogh used starry backgrounds. He went on to paint star filled skies in Starry Night Over Rhone, painted the same month, and the better known Starry Night a year later. Vincent Van Gogh's restless spirit and depressive mental state fired his artistic work with great joy and, sadly, equally great despair. Known as a prolific Post-Impressionist, he produced many paintings that were heavily biographical. This work of art has the same emotions and beauty as the original by Van Gogh. Why not grace your home with this reproduced masterpiece? It is sure to bring many admirers!

A royal spa resort and Germany's answer to Nice: this spa town on the river Lahn makes a very special destination for health-minded visitors. Bad Ems owes this reputation to the curative properties of its mineral and thermal springs.
Grand historical architecture in the baroque and neo-classical style gives the idyllic town of Bad Ems its distinguishing character. The townscape reveals a past of Roman settlement, German Romanticism and European aristocracy: even in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Bad Ems was one of the foremost spa resorts north of the Alps.
Everything you need to feel happy and healthy
Through all of those eras, one thing has never changed: Bad Ems, with its 15 curative springs, remains a place for people to leave their everyday cares behind and replenish their energy levels. The resort's natural healing resources are especially effective for respiratory illnesses, allergies, cardiovascular problems, musculoskeletal conditions and degenerative rheumatic diseases of the joints and the spine. Modern medical practices are applied here alongside natural remedies and traditional Asian therapies such as ayurveda.
Unwind in a floating sauna
For those who enjoy a spa getaway, the new Emser Therme won't disappoint. It is one of Germany's prettiest wellness complexes – and the first to feature a sauna floating on a river. Bad Ems enjoys a spectacular setting in the heart of Nassau Nature Park, where you can do everything from hiking, cycling and mountain biking to canoeing, paragliding and horse riding. The proximity to the Rhine and Moselle rivers also makes Bad Ems an ideal base for excursions, including to the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley with its castles and palaces and to the surrounding wine regions.

WASHINGTON — It was a battle of braces, but in the end, D.C. United took the honors, topping the Houston Dynamo 3-2 at RFK Stadium.
United's Maicon Santos and Houston's Will Bruin each scored two goals, and D.C. talisman Dwayne De Rosario notched his first goal of the season.
The result gives United back-to-back wins in the league for the first time since June 2009. It also runs their current unbeaten streak to seven games, as they retain second place in the Eastern Conference.
Houston, meanwhile, failed to win for the fourth straight match, as they continued their seven-game season-opening road trip. They have one more away game before they inaugurate BBVA Compass Stadium on May 12.
Just like last week against New York, United got off to a flying start. Maicon Santos scored in the 11th minute. A long ball out of the back from Brandon McDonald found Chris Pontius behind the defense. The attacker touched the ball around on-rushing Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall and found an open Maicon Santos with his cross. The Brazilian made no mistake with the header.
United maintained the pressure in the half, but were unable to add to their lead. Instead, coach Ben Olsen found himself forced to revamp his lineup after a hamstring injury forced center back Emiliano Dudar off. Olsen brought on Marcelo Saragosa and moved to Perry Kitchen to Dudar's position.
Those shifts became important just after halftime, as Bruin equalized in the 50th minute. Jermaine Taylor took advantage of a slip by former Dynamo midfielder Danny Cruz, and placed a pinpoint cross in the box, which the unmarked Bruin volleyed in from six yards out.
The level score didn't stand for long, though. Ex-Houston standout De Rosario put United back ahead in the 54th minute. The Canadian international whipped a ball in from the left side that slithered past everyone, including Hall, who was positioned to make a potential save on a header. Instead, the ball curled in off the far post.
OPTA Chalkboard: How D.C. beat Houston
Just five minutes later, Bruin made the Dudar-less backline pay again. He pounced on a loose ball outside the United box and fired a dipping shot on frame. Goalkeeper Joe Willis, who has been rock steady during United's unbeaten run, let the ball slip under him, and the Dynamo were level again. It was Bruin's 5th goal all-time against D.C.
But Maicon Santos was not to be outdone by Bruin. In the 70th minute, he rose highest to meet a Daniel Woolard cross. Hall could only manage to get half a hand on the ball as it flew into the goal, giving United the three points on the night.
United (4-2-3) have a short turnaround before traveling cross country to take on Western Conference leaders San Jose on Wednesday night.
Houston (2-2-2) continue their road show on May 9 against New York.

CFP: [General] Auto-bio-phagies
University of Cyprus
Department of French Studies and Modern Languages
Nicosia, Cyprus
October 31 â€" November 2, 2008
Invited Speaker: Philippe Lejeune
Call for papers
The idea of decenterment signifies a major evolution of the very notion
of subject, triggered by the philosophy of Nietzsche, which dominates
poststructuralist and postmodernist thought. The omnipotent I, usually
thought of as a physiological, grammatical and philosophical commodity,
has been repeatedly questioned. Therefore, its internal topography seems
nowadays to obey numerous agencies and undergo multiple transformations;
in addition to that, psychoanalysis has long questioned any pretenses of
a 'homogenous' and 'true' subject. If Nietzsche claimed that suggesting
the existence of a unique subject was no longer necessary, would it be
legitimate to suppose that there are multiple subjects and that their
interaction is at the heart of our thought?
In fact, one could say that the decentered subject somehow tends to be
reestablished by being relocalized: anti-subject practices of surrealism,
the Nouveau Roman, the new autobiography and poststructuralism frequently
go hand in hand with a certain reclaiming of subjectivity partly founded
on the "solidity†of common sense. Even though the former are supposed to
exclude the latter and vice versa, their almost inevitable
complementarity keeps them together; that's probably why Charles Taylor
(Sources of the Self) talks about a quasi paradox.
In this ongoing and everlasting process of re-subjectivization, the place
held by the discourses of the body seems to be particularly important.
Thinking (through) the body there is always a body and a self in the
body, Nietzsche tells us incorporates the abstract and embodies the
speculations of Theory. Hence the instrumentalized body is replaced by a
bodiliness which becomes the site of the revisited subject. This kind of
discourse often focuses on the metaphor of digestion. On the one hand,
this metaphor can be the paradigm of every "bio-graphyâ€, that is of a
discourse which might be described in terms of an "orexis†or of
an "eating well†which encourages us to "identify with the other, who is
to be assimilated, interiorized, understood ideally†(Derrida, " 'Eating
Well', or the Calculation of the Subjectâ€). On the other hand, this very
metaphor is equally present in the writing of "auto-bio-graphyâ€, given
that "a strong and successful man digests his experiences (his actions,
including his evil actions) as he digests his meals†(Nietzsche,
Genealogy of Morals).
This conference aims to explore the multiple facets of the disappearance
and the resurgence of the subject placing special emphasis on the
discourses of the body and of the self, in order to investigate what the
neologism of the title, namely auto-bio-phagy, might mean. Given the
interdisciplinary perspective of the conference, proposals focusing on
philosophy, literature, visual arts as well as other disciplines within
the humanities are welcome. Papers presented at the conference will be
submitted to peer review in order to be included in a collective volume.
The conference will be held in English and French.
Proposals (200-300 words) should be sent via email to May Chehab
(mchehab_at_ucy.ac.cy) and Apostolos Lampropoulos (aplampro_at_ucy.ac.cy)
before June 15, 2008. The draft program of the conference will be
established early July 2008.

By Carol Hildebrand
May 2010
The Comcast Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was designed as a sustainable building worthy of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certificationan impressive accomplishment but an extra wrinkle in an already complex project. Shawn Pressley, vice president of project management systems and development at Hill International, talked to Profit about how going green affects project management.
Profit: Is preparing for a LEED or green building project more difficult?
Pressley: It's not necessarily harder, but you do need to think ahead from the bidding process forward. For example, there are extra factors you need to consider when compiling a bid on a LEED or green building project, such as the availability and replacement cost of green construction materials. Limited availability and costly materials will affect the bid's bottom line. You also need to take into consideration the financial impact of the different processes used on a LEED project, like proper storage of materials that will be reused, as these tend to increase overhead costs.
Profit: How about processes? Do these differ?
Pressley: Yes, and you need to build these processes into the actual performance of work at the project, making sure that not only the project team but your subcontractors use best practices around sustainable building. For example, you want to ensure that all project managers have reviewed the asbestos, lead-based paint, PCB, and hazardous materials plans before undertaking demolition activities. You must also be familiar with the soil conditions of the site in order to implement erosion control measures prior to and during construction. Don't forget to develop a plan to minimize dust and other contaminants during the construction, and be certain to educate all subtrades concerning the plan. During the construction process you need to make sure that all building materials slated for reuse are properly stored in a covered structure and protected from the water. Finally, you must maintain recycling bins onsite for all materials to be recycled.
Profit: Does managing a green project add extra administrative tasks to the contract management process?
Pressley: It does add a couple different streams of paperwork, both within the project and related to the LEED certification process. For example, within the project you need to implement a detailed waste management plan for the demolition and construction phases, keep accurate records of the amount of waste diverted from the local landfills in order to generate documentation for LEED points, link progress payment milestones to LEED paperwork submittals, and document the origin and supplier of all materials to get LEED credits for using local materials.
Profit: What is involved in the LEED application process itself?
Pressley: In conjunction with the design and delivery process, you have to deal with the LEED paperwork process, which involves several different steps. The first is registering the project with the U.S. Green Building Council [USGBC], which may be done during the general design or construction phase. Early registration during the design phase ensures that the council reviews potential credit goals and whether credit points can be anticipated. Then you need to track the project and document achievement during construction to make sure that you've obtained the proper measurements and documentation for submittals. Finally, you apply for certification. After the construction phase, all the documents and submittals are sent in. USGBC then officially awards or denies credits, and LEED certification thresholds are assigned. It sounds like a lot, but if you have the proper processes in place, it becomes part of the overall project management task.
