Mattel's "Dolls of the World" line, which was introduced 30 years ago is being criticized for Mexico Barble. All of the Dolls of the World Barbies are dressed in traditional garb and carry a passport.
"Poor Mexico Barbie. She just wants to teach girls "about the culture, traditions and ancestral dress of Mexico," according to her online description. Little did she know her two possessions, a passport and a Chihuahua, would stir up an argument over cultural diversity."
"China Barbie, for example, wears a red silk embroidered gown and comes packaged with a panda tucked under her arm. India Barbie wears a sari and has a pet monkey. The beret-capped French Barbie does not come with an animal, but can offer buyers a basket of baguettes instead.
"Mexico Barbie has long, black wavy hair, tied back in a purple bow, and is "dressed for a fabulous fiesta" in a pink dress with ruffles, ribbons and lace. However, her accessories of a Chihuahua dog and a "passport and sticker sheet to help record Barbie doll's travels" have raised eyebrows.
All Barbies in the "Dolls of the World" collection come with passports, but some people are wondering whether it's appropriate for Mexico Barbie to have one because of the current immigration debate."
There is a photo of the doll on the Today.com website. I think she is pretty. If all the dolls in that line come with the passport then I don't think it's being racist for her to have it. It's just what comes with the line. I think the Chihuahua could be a little more questionable but it is a Mexican breed.
Somehow American Girl has managed to carry off dolls of color without generally offending people. They have their historical dolls lines that includes Josefina, who is from New Mexico and she is in traditional garb. There is also Kaya, who is Native American and in her traditional garb. There is also Rebecca Rubin who is Jewish. See what you think of her outfit – is it stereotypical or because from a particular era, it's not an issue?
What do you think? Is this completely a non-problem or do you find Mexico Barbie to be stereotypical? Would you buy Mexico Barbie for your child? Would you buy the French, Chinese or Indian dolls?

I think people look for reasons to get insulted — and this is one of them. It's a non-issue. What else was she supposed to carry — a burrito?

I'm confused about the passport. If all the other Barbies have one, wouldn't it be offensive if only Mexico Barbie didn't?

The depiction of Mexico Barbie is fine. This sensitivity to any little thing is sad. Immigration reform is needed. However, I feel Americans are being forced to accept a group of people who have illegally become a part of America simply by their proximity to this country. I also resent the comparison to the Civil Rights movement. Conservatives complain about illegal immigration which is partially their fault for wanting cheap labor. By far, most Blacks, I for one, are against any kind of pathway to citizenship except by the process in place. I feel for those brought here as young children. They should be given an opportunity.

No one else here from Mexico has any documentation so why should Mex Barbie pretend to be any different? Ba-ZING!
April 12th, 2013

@Regina: "I feel for those brought here as young children." I do, too — but while it wasn't their fault if their parents entered illegally, it doesn't erase the fact that the person IS here illegally. Let 'em blame their parents for making poor decisions — it isn't the United State's fault that their parents broke a well-understood law. It's not that hard a concept. The American government's lack of response on this issue is, to me, stunning, and their inaction in the face of blatant flouting of the law has only encouraged further incursions, because illegal immigrants KNOW that if they can get in and get a foothold, America is going to look the other way. If, on the other hand, America actually enforced their own laws, perhaps there'd be a decrease in the number of people entering illegally, because they know that if they are caught, the response is swift and uncompromising: Back you go. If you enter legally and go through the process, then you will earn citizenship. Why is this so hard?! Citizenship in this country is a PRIVILEGE, not a RIGHT. Americans are a generous people, but being a generous host doesn't mean that the guest should allowed to bleed you dry, as in the hospitals and schools of California and Texas.

Isn't Chihuahua a place in Mexico as well as where the breed of dog came from? So what is the problem?

"…introduced 30 years ago is being criticized for Mexico Barbie" So is the Mexican Barbie new or from 30 years ago? And who exactly is complaining? I'd love to hear the suggestion as to how she should be dressed and what her accessories should be. I am so sick of people being offended for every single little thing these days. It's a DOLL! Get over yourselves and find something important to put your energy into!
April 12th, 2013

Only the hypersensitive could be offended about Mexico Barbie, they seriously need to find a worthier topic to complain about.
April 12th, 2013

Are they not all sterotypes to a certain degree anyway? The doll from China looks, well, Chinese; the doll from Holland looks, well, Dutch; the doll from Mexico looks, no surprise, Mexican.
And, as per one of your examples, Kaya looks "Native American". We once would have simply classified her as being "Indian", which isn't the least bit negative, yet somehow still offensive.
I do, however, question just what in the world is so "historical" as it relates to Josefina and New Mexico.
April 12th, 2013

@Me – How exactly does a Dutch Person look? LOL. I happen to be 100% Dutch. I wonder, is it blonde hair and green eyes? LOL. I guess then all Barbies with blonde hair are Dutch?????
WhHen I was younger, I had a beautiful sent of "International Dolls" that my Grandmother had given me. At the time, I know she spent a pretty penny on them, maybe $30 (back in the 60's). They weren't for play (I never played with dolls anyways, to this day, they are still too creepy for me), but to admire up on a shelf. Each one was dressed per her culture and they were BEAUTIFUL. I had them in my room until I was about 12/13. I wonder what ever happened to all those dolls. I'll have to ask my Mom this weekend….

I would certainly buy it for my granddaughter, who is Hispanic. As for the passport, I think it is a reflection of "political correctness". My daughter (legally adopted and has had US citizenship for 35 years) was advised to carry "legal proof" of citizenship, such as a passport, when she traveled in Texas, Arizona, or New Mexico. Because of her looks, she constantly has to proof her citizenship. I look Caucasian and even when we are vacationing together, I have never been asked to prove my right to be on US soil. Just one of the reasons we will NOT take my granddaughter to Texas or NM.

@Mayhem — I get your point but you know my intent! And, of course not all Barbie's with blonde hair are Dutch; only the ones speaking Dutch, carrying Tulips, and wearing wooden clogs!!

If this offends them, they should be glad they went with the Yucatan model.
The prototype was from a border town. Barbie was blindfolded and instead of a chihuahua it came with a donkey (also blindfolded).
Incidentally they were also goo g to offer a Ken doll version. Sadly it was just his head.

Mexico Barbie is offensive because it comes with a ladder and a shovel. What's next, drug-mule barbie? Is there no end to the horror of republican corporate laissez faire policies?
April 12th, 2013
1:57 pm
The passport is unnecessary to make the doll a representative of Mexican culture. I don't care what the "reason" is, it just isn't necessary to make the doll what they want it to be. But no, she doesn't need a burrito (I can't remember who wrote that). THAT would have been out of order and would have opened the door for more foolery.
April 12th, 2013
2:10 pm
@Me – LOL…..
Mexican Barbie should come with a coyote, you know, the ones that are paid to bring them over the border. OR she should come pregnant along with 5 other babies attached to her legs, and tons of candy and sodas.
@Jarvis – love the Ken doll comment…only his head….hahahahahhaa. Good one.

@DB, I agree with you. However, it seems in order to show goodwill, America has to compromise with the young people who reside in America illegally. If amnesty is given, part of the deal should be those given the special treatment can not sponsor other family members in the future.
Democrats are pushing for amnesty because it increases the number of voters for the party. The Catholic church is pushing for amnesty because the majority of illegals are Catholic. Pseudo Black leaders are pushing for amnesty because they think minorities who are illegal will bond with American minorities.
Latinos, the illegal majority, bring many of the troubles from their own countries to America. We have enough to deal with in our country with our own poor, illiterate and criminals. I understand they want a better life, but they should stay in their own countries and work to make their countries better.

@elgrunir: Yeah, and the left was soooo polite to George Bush, too, right? Oh, wait . . . so what, can dish it out but can't take it? Respect for the office of the Presidency has gone out the window.
@Regina: Explain to me why we have to show "goodwill" to people who are breaking the law? I'm sorry, but do we have to show "goodwill" to a thief who breaks into our house to steal our TV? It's a law, well defined and well understood. Why does it require compromise? There is a path to citizenship.
April 13th, 2013
6:28 pm
@DB: please name one instance where someone overtly or covertly complained about Bush's race. Or for that matter, how about any other president's birth certificate? There's a difference between respecting the office of the president and evaluating (and deciding whether or not to respect) the actions.
I agree completely with you regarding illegal immigrants.

Hey, she doesn't come with a bag of oranges, a green card, a sack of tortillas, a can of refried beans, a burro, or 7 kids all under the age of 8 so what's the big deal?

If they'd given every doll except the Mexican doll a passport, critics would have accused them of reinforcing the illegal immigrant/undocumented worker stereotype. Sometimes you can't win.

Instead of throwing away billions of dollars on this "drug war", couldn't we help Mexico with their economy to give a reason for the people who live there to stay there? I would rather the money go there than half-way round the world. Just legalizing marijuana, regulating, and taxing it would help.

Everyone KNOWS that the Mexican Barbie would not have a passport. That's totally unrealistic. If you cut her open, does she have little baggies filled with cocaine in her stomach?
Does the liberal media really have so much time on their hands that they have to create controversies where none really exist?
April 14th, 2013
8:16 am
@DB, I don't feel we should make a goodwill gesture to lawbreakers but that seems to be the only compromise to this immigration mess and to get congress to act.
It is about to be a big mess. Americans elected leaders who don't listen to constituents. The rich don't care because they are far removed from the reality of middle class Americans. A person is considered racist if one doesn't agree with amnesty. I have friends who followed the process and waited years to get a green card. The issue is to clear out the government workers who aren't effective in their jobs and streamline the current process.

Next I want to see a Hall County Barbie, complete with feathered hair, cankles, an unopened Bible and a bucket of fried chicken.

I haven't posted on here in a long time and I know that this is now "old" and I'm off topic (brought up by other posters) but an amnesty will just irritate the heck out of me. My mom is Vietnamese and was an immigrant but a large part of my dad's family has been in the United States since before there was a United States. I have ancestors who's names are on founder's plaques of towns and other that fought in the Revolution. If I want to come home from the UK with my family ( my husband is English but the kids have US citizenship also ), my husband and I will have to jump through hoops. Which would seem to be grossly unfair.
April 14th, 2013
11:47 am
Along with this push for reform, an amendment should be passed which changes birthright citizenship. One or both parents must be U. S. citizens.
Families are not forced apart because parents can make a choice…take the children when they return to your country. This is not slavery where Blacks families were forced apart through the selling of slaves.

This is just plain stupid. If Mexico Barbie is a stereotype, racist, or whatever you want to call it, then plain old white Barbie is equally stereotypical, racist or whatever someone wants to call it too. No one has ever said that. just get over it people, we're all a little bit different and that is the way God made us. do you really think God is up there making little racist dolls out of us?!
April 17th, 2013

To my 8-year-old, it's just another doll/toy that comes with cool accessories in a package. I bought her several of those Dolls of the World Barbies, with different outfits and skin colors. They are gorgeous, she is happy and treasures them all. To me, that' what matters.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - A seven-year-old Milwaukee boy says the nation would be safer if guns had chocolate bullets – and Vice President Joe Biden agrees.
Biden sent a handwritten letter to Myles Nelson, after the 2nd grader at Milwaukee's Downtown Montessori Academy wrote to Biden, President Obama, and Congresswoman Gwen Moore last December.
It was right after the Sandy Hook school shootings in Connecticut.
Myles told his school's reading specialist, Barbara Rankin, about his idea – and she encouraged him to tell people who could do something about it. Moore sent him a form letter with a short personal note.
Biden personally handwrote his response on official vice presidential stationery – and it arrived at the school Monday. Biden said he was sorry it took so long for him to respond. He continued, "I really like your idea. If we had guns that shot chocolate, not only would our country be safer, it would be happier. People love chocolate. You are a good boy."

Two Parts:Treating Your Home For FleasTreating Your Pet For Fleas
Fleas are small, agile insects that live by feeding on the blood of other animals, usually your furry and harmless cat or dog. Fleas can be a real problem when they invade a household and its inhabitants. Here's an outline of the different ways to eradicate fleas in both your house and on your pets.
Part 1 of 2: Treating Your Home For Fleas
1Use botanical dust mixed with Borate acid. The easiest way to kill fleas is when they are at their most vulnerable — in the egg and larva stages of their development. An adult flea will live only about a week without blood from its host, while a flea larva can live several months, so it's important to attack the larvae first. This mixture will help prevent a full bloom of fleas.
- Botanical dusts are perhaps the oldest natural insecticides. Borates are minerals that are used widely as wood preservatives, detergents, and insecticides, acting as stomach poisons to fleas.[1]
- The botanical dust and borate mixture is very safe. Care, however, should be taken not to breathe in the botanical dust and borate mixture. Use a mask when applying the dust mixture in the home.
- Dust the carpet, the furniture, the bed, the dog or cat's bed. It's best to do this when you're leaving your house for a good while, say 24 hours. Let the mixture settle for a day. When you come back, vacuum the carpet, the furniture, and wash the sheets on both beds.
2Fill shallow bowls of water with dish detergent. The water and dish detergent mixture is like a toxic swimming pool for fleas. When they jump into the mixture, they die.
- Place the water and detergent mixture in a very shallow bowl, low enough to the ground so that the fleas accidentally hop into it. An old frisbee does the job quite well.
- Place the mixture next to a low-hanging light source, preferably a night-light. The fleas are attracted to the light. Approaching the light, many of them will fall into the mixture, dying in the process.
3Use a lemon solution in affected areas. Thinly slice one whole lemon and drop it into a pint of water. Bring the water and lemon to a boil. Then, let stand overnight for maximum potency. Pour into a spray bottle and spray onto affected areas.
4Use cedar chips in affected areas. Cedar chips are available in your local pet or home improvement store. Fleas hate the smell of cedar and will do almost anything to avoid it.
- Make sure your pet isn't allergic to cedar.[2] Many dogs can be allergic to cedar. So while shooing the fleas away is a good thing, making your dog miserable clearly isn't.
- Place cedar chips in the corners of rooms, in the dog's pen or bed, and under furniture. Keep cedar chips near threshold like doors and windows in order to keep the fleas from coming in.
- Place cedar chips in a cotton cloth underneath your pillow and, if possible, in your bedding. This will ensure that your bed remains pest-free. Plus, it will make your bed smell nice and fresh.
5Spread salt over the surface of your carpet. Salt is a desiccant, meaning it saps the moisture from things and dries them out. When a salt crystal attaches itself to a flea, it will cause chafing and scraping on the flea, essentially bleeding the flea to death as it walks.
- Use very fine-grained salt for this. The finer the better; you want it to be small enough to attach itself to the flea.
- After 7-10 days, vacuum the salted area very thoroughly, making sure to pick up all the salt and flea carcasses from the carpet area. Repeat the process one or two more times.
- When you're done vacuuming, discard the old vacuum bag from the vacuum and replace it with a new one.
6Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum. Vacuum over any affected areas, including high-traffic areas where the pets usually roam. Most fleas will not be able to survive a good tornado of a vacuum!
- People often go for high-powered, super-suction vacuums, but the average vacuum should do the trick perfectly.[3]
- Place moth flakes down on the carpet or (inside the vacuum bag) and vacuum them up. This will help kill any fleas you vacuum up!
- Always discard the vacuum bag after you vacuum. This will help discourage re-infestation.
7Purchase flea traps. Flea traps work in much the same way as the lighted detergent water combo (above, Step 2) works. Fleas are attracted to the heat and the brightness of the light, and fall into the trap.
Part 2 of 2: Treating Your Pet For Fleas
1Clean your pet regularly. Washing your pet will help kill the fleas that are living on it. There may be a host of other larvae and fleas waiting to hop onto your pet, however, so be sure to use this method with other preventative measures, such as vacuuming, borate mixes, and cedar chips.
- Prepare your dog for the bath by applying the flea soap near the dog's ears, eyes, nose, mouth, and butt. When fleas feel water, they immediately look for safe places on the dog to hide out, such as the anus. Do this before you get the dog wet.
- After you've applied the soap to the dog's vulnerable areas, get the dog wet and lather the whole body up. Let stand for at least ten minutes, working in the soap as much as possible. Comb out the dead fleas when dried.
- If your dog doesn't react well to flea soap, try acquiring soap that has eucalyptus, tea tree oil, or cedar wood in it. Fleas don't like the oils of these trees, so use them to your benefit.
2Use a flea product on your cat or dog. Flea products, such as Advantage or Frontline, are spot-treatments that are applied to pets monthly.
- Usually, these spot-treatments are rubbed on the skin of your pet, usually between the shoulder blades. The treatment will then work its way through the dog or cat's coat.
- If your pet reacts adversely to the spot treatment, try a healthy bit of Vaseline instead. Rub the Vaseline on the same spot, between the shoulder blades or bottom of the neck. Fleas that jump onto the Vaseline will not be able to dislodge and die soon after.
3Add deterrents to the pet's meal. Since fleas feed on the blood of animals, you can treat fleas by manipulating what your pet eats.
- There are oral tablets that you can give your pet. These tablets attack the flea's nervous system via the bloodstream and tissue of your dog or cat. While they kill all the fleas feeding on your pet, they do not prevent fleas.
- Mix vinegar into their water. Don't try this with cats, as their pH is much more sensitive than dogs'. Mix a tablespoon of apple-cider vinegar into the dog's water bowl, or bathe the animal using water and vinegar.

If so, share what you know about how to calm down an angry person.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
We are a bit smarter today because of you.
- Sprinkle salt on rugs and leave for 12-24 hours and then vacuum. The salt will kill fleas but do not leave salt in your rug for too long, it can become moist.
- When searching for fleas, you may also find something called "flea dirt." It's black and coarse and if you put it on a moistened towel, it will turn red. Flea dirt is the blood that fleas expel as waste from their bodies. It's a good indication of where they've been.
- Make sure you get all of the fleas out from the infected areas completely or in some rare cases the fleas may not go in one go but they can surely go when you have repeated the processes twice or thrice.
- Be sparing with the use of insecticides. Use in well-ventilated areas and wear gloves. If possible, seek natural alternatives and try to bedding clean. Repeated exposure to insecticides can be harmful to pet and human health.
- Buy a flea collar for inserting it inside the vacuum cleaner bag. Cut it into inch long pieces and save them in a baggie. Put one piece in a new vacuum cleaner bag. This will kill any fleas that survive being vacuumed off the floor, furniture, etc.
- Before giving your pet a flea bath, wash your hands and arms (up to the elbow) with the pet's flea shampoo. This will prevent fleas from jumping on you during the bath, biting you, and then re-infecting the pet. Take a shower immediately after washing your pet because some flea shampoos can cause irritation when left on human skin for prolonged periods of time. Lavender or Rosemary-mint products (shampoo & body wash) are good flea repellants as well.
- Get out of the house when is bombing out of the infected areas.

Here are some photos of Chris Evans from the May issue of Hong Kong's Prestige. In an interview with the magazine, all of which you can read here, Chris talked about Captain America's success, his character on The Avengers, that he initially declined the role of Captain America because he wasn't prepared for the attention, and the stress of press. Good Lord, the man looks bloody perfect in these photos, doesn't he? Can't get enough of him! Hubbahubbadroolstare.

Our latest update features a new "Big Sister" torso, Wolf ears and 2 different sized unicorn horns. These items are meant for use with your Monster High customs. The "Big Sister" is made from a Nefera body. It's been modified to use CAM limbs, wings & tail. The wolf ears are made from the CAM set. The clips were removed and the post replaced with a threaded rod. The unicorn horns were a request and come in two different sizes. All the head accessories use a threaded rod so you can attach securely without need for glue. ^_^
Oooh, I really hope that since PC's doing Nefera recast, they'll end up offering a Howleen recast eventually. I want a correct proportion Draculaura like buuuurniiiing.
Reblogging cause we should all be throwing money at this person

Message from the Chair
Time certainly flies and so it did this past year since moving back to Omaha. Thanks to a terrific physician staff and departmental support network, my transition year as department chairman went very smoothly. I really appreciated the thoughts and advice from Drs. Dan Lydiatt and Russ Smith. They provided much assistance as I blended into the department, which certainly made my life easier. The Department of Otolaryngology has changed in many ways this past year, including the addition of three new faculties. Dr. Samuel Pate returned to our department after practicing in Arkansas for three years and specializes in nasal sinus disorders. Drs. Bingcang and Heckman also joined the department as of September 1st. Dr. Bingcang is the only fellowship-trained laryngologist in Nebraska, and in the greater Omaha and Western Iowa region. He has training in many office-based procedures involving the larynx, trachea, and esophagus allowing him to offer techniques previously not available. Dr. Heckman did his facial plastic fellowship at NYU. He is interested in functional and cosmetic facial surgery as well as facial trauma.
We are pleased to say that our department has opened a second location at Village Pointe on 175th and Burke to help meet the needs of our patients. Most of our services including office based surgery are offered at Village Pointe as well. Overall, with the edition of our new faculty and our new location, we are excited to continue to excel in patient care.
Best personal regards to all,

WASHINGTON D.C. (WTAQ) - A seventh-grader from Shawano is starting to compete Tuesday at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington.
13-year-old Karelyn Malliet is making her first appearance at the nationals, after winning the State Spelling Bee in Madison a few weeks ago. The state champ is normally Wisconsin's only entrant in the field of 281.
Monday morning, they're taking written tests with 24 spelling questions and 24 vocabulary questions. During those exams, they'll earn points toward Wednesday's second and third preliminary rounds. That's when we'll see Karelyn for the first time, when all the spellers will compete verbally on ESPN3.
The survivors move to the semi-finals Wednesday night and Thursday. ESPN's main channel will televise the finals Thursday night.
Karelyn volunteers at Shawano's humane society, and she plans to be a veterinarian.

Lasercut Menger Sponge
One of our members, Jaye, has been up to a rather special project in the last couple of weeks, a 3D Menger Sponge from lasercut acrylic. Here's her writeup:
Hey there coruscating hivebrain,
As there was some interest when I mentioned it previously, I figured I'd write up my first attempt to build a Menger sponge with the laser cutter, acrylic sheet, and water-thin solvent based acrylic adhesive.
To test the assembly technique, I went with iteration M2 of the sponge in 3mm transparent red acrylic. Obviously, just cutting out all the little bits for the internals of the sponge and trying to assemble them one at a time in the right position would be fiddly and insane, so instead of doing that, I cut patterns out that could be used to assemble a whole layer of the sponge at a time.
This more or less worked. :)
The attached Plan image shows the cut file I used (and the cut file itself is attached as an Inkscape SVG). Black lines indicate cutting (laser settings: 40% power, 6mm/s speed), and red lines indicate engraving (laser settings: 40% power, 15mm/s speed). The idea was to include sprues in the cut design that hold the overall structure of each layer together, but to do deep engraving across the ends of every sprue so that:
Things that I learnt during the assembly:
Things that I'll be changing for the next revision:
Build process photos attached.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming. :)
This more or less worked. :)

Those efforts have largely foundered. The lot near M&T Bank Stadium where a Ray Lewis-themed sports complex was supposed to sit will instead be home to Baltimore's casino. Full Moon Bar-B-Que closed in 2009. No bowling alley was ever built, and contractors who did preliminary work on the project complained of being stiffed for more than $1 million. RL52 Style, as the clothing line was called, never caught on and a website dedicated to the products no longer works.
According to the website for The RL52 Group — the parent organization for Lewis' charitable foundation and some of his business interests — Lewis is currently involved in marketing nutritional supplements and merchant services. A separate website for RL52 Cycling advertises a series of training videos featuring Lewis.
Sports Illustrated has estimated that nearly 80 percent of NFL players go bankrupt or fall into financial distress within two years of retiring, in part because of poor investment choices and partnerships gone wrong.
Ravens president Dick Cass, speaking generally and not about Lewis in particular, said last fall that players often jump into business deals without having the proper expertise or guidance. "They try to do the right thing but don't know how," he said.
Jamal Lewis, a running back who spent seven years with the Ravens starting in 2000, said last year that he was forced to file for bankruptcy last year because of failed investments.
Unlike other players who last only a few years, Ray Lewis has earned $111 million over a 17-year career according to Spotrac, a website dedicated to tracking player contracts. One of the most trusted players in the league, he has advocated for young players to have a hands-on role in their business dealings.
Once the last whistle of his storied career sounds — be it this weekend or in February — Lewis will be able to focus on building RL52.
"His future business success will be predicated on his learning the ins and outs of business and how they apply to opportunities placed in front of him," Carter said, "as well as surrounding himself with capable business managers that actually have his best interests in mind."

A suburban girl and her family are fighting back against a pair of secret cyber bullies who used Twitter for their attacks.
The girl's family has hired an attorney to find out who was behind the two separate Twitter handles used to bully the girl about being overweight. Now the family is fighting an uphill battle to uncover the bullies' identities.
Because of the pending legal action, the girl's father said his attorney will not let him comment on the case but clearly their daughter has suffered an emotional toll. The incident comes on the heels of the suicide of a Florida girl who was cyber-bullied and the arrest of two young girls in that case.
RELATED: Minor harassed by bullies on Twitter, Elmwood Park mom fights back
On a quiet street in Elmwood Park the taunts against a young girl were never heard, but they echoed loudly across the Twittersphere.
According to a pre-lawsuit filing, two Twitter accounts, @dreadfulFATchic and @dreadfullyLARGE posed as the teen and posted tweets saying, "my passion is being fat," and encouraged other Twitter users to sext the girl and also offered sex acts.
The fake accounts also posted the girl's name, photo, phone number and where she lived, according to the petition.
Attorney Daliah Saper says more and more cases like this are going to court but uncovering who is behind cyber-bullying like that is tough.
"Since these are all civil causes of action and until there are statutes that directly address this type of behavior, your recourse is only to ask for monetary damages which can be very difficult to prove and again you will have to expend extraordinary amounts of resources depending on the court system you're in order to get to an actual judgment," Saper said.
This week in Florida, a 12-and 14-year-old girl were arrested and charged with felony aggravated stalking after cyber bullying another 12 year old girl who jumped from a grain silo and killed herself.
On Friday, authorities charged one of the suspects mother with child abuse and neglect.
The @dreadfulFATchic and @dreadfullyLARGE Twitter accounts have now been suspended, but the Elmwood Park girl's mother wants Twitter to reveal who is responsible for the malicious tweets because she fears they threaten harm to her daughter.

No, that's not one of KG's expletives in the headline. NBA.com blogger Sekou Smith asked that very question of writers, in light of his latest flashpoint this season: An on-court war of words with Knicks star Carmelo "Anything but Melo" Anthony that earned them both technicals and led to an off-court confrontation. It comes on the heels of his shove of Kris Humphries and his embrace of ex-coach Kevin McHale.
Former Star Tribuner Steve Ashburner gave what might be a spoken-word poem of Garnett:
An all-timer. A throwback. A salty dude. Overly chippy on occasion. A great example for young players in terms of two-way play, competitiveness, loyalty to your team and feistiness toward opponents. Underrated for about a dozen seasons for his abilities as a passer and to defend five positions when necessary. Tightly wound. Vulgar to the max as a trash talker (remarkably creative, though, at times). A guy I want on my team. Future inductee in Springfield. One of the most fascinating athletes I've covered.
Other ways that the NBA.com writers summed up Garnett: "Man-beast," "one of a kind," "potentially dangerous," "a guy you want on your side with everything on the line." How would you describe him? You can read the whole thing here.
And as Anthony was suspended a game, TMZ.com posted cellphone video of the Jawin' in the Garden. You can't make out a lot, but that doesn't stop beeps from covering up supposed expletives:

Some big headaches are just days away for CTA Red Line riders on Chicago's South Side. The overhaul of the south branch is scheduled to begin, along with free shuttle service.
For the five-month reconstruction, there will be no train service from the Cermak/Chinatown stop to 95th Street. That includes the Sox-35th Street station.
Many people haven't even figured out their game plan yet, but those who make the effort to get to a Chicago White Sox game during the reconstruction will find that their planning paid off.
From the north, take the Red Line, which will drop you off at the Green Line 35th Street station and walk to the ballpark. From the south, take the shuttle bus at 69th, 79th, 87th or 95th to the Green Line at Garfield, transfer, ride the bus up to 35th Street and walk the two blocks to the ballpark.
The White Sox are offering fans a $10 discount ticket deal the day after the closure begins. Fans can use the code "SOX CTA" when buying ticket online for the Boston Red Sox series May 20-22.

That is certainly part of it for some, but the use of SRIs is so completely damaging, and the exposure that many of them had to DU (depleted Uranium), and other chemicals plays a part in it as well. Plus the fact that man serve multiple tours, a practice that was thwarted after a case study was done on soldiers after the first World War, when it was deduced that one tour resulted in enough trauma, ie. PTS.

CARTER FOSTER: Hi. I'm Carter Foster, Steven and Anne Ames Curator of Drawings at the Whitney Museum of American Art. This is a painting called New York Interior by Edward Hopper. He painted this painting with a disembodied eye as if he's just outside of someone's window. Hopper spoke very specifically about being inspired by riding through the city on the city's elevated trains. New York had elevated subway trains for much of its history which have now been dismantled. In riding those trains you could see into people's windows, and lives, and offices and all kinds of other things. I think that's what this painting is about. He paints the woman as unaware of the viewer, so you're almost guilty. It's not that you're looking at something you shouldn't be looking at but he freezes a moment in time that would have been a fleeting moment.
I think one of the most interesting things about it is the way the scene is framed. You see this woman from the back with her hair going down her front so that her shoulders are exposed, so there's a strong erotic undercurrent to the work. But then if you look at the way it's framed, you have a dark rectangle on the left, you have irregular shapes on the right that are also equally dark that are ambiguous. They could be inside the room, they could be part of the building's architecture. That's what really puts you on the threshold of being inside and outside which is one of the great themes of Hopper's career, inside and outside at the same time.
NARRATOR: Artist and art critic Brian O'Doherty:BRIAN O'DOHERTY: We're looking at New York Interior. He was thirty-nine when he did that. But Hopper lived long and he was a slow starter determined. He was a long-distance runner and he paced himself. New York Interior proves something that he said to me. He said every artist has a core of originality, a core that is himself. And how does that come out in art? It comes out in the format of things. It comes out in the concerns, the themes, and the details of the paintings he does, even when he's young.NARRATOR: In New York Interior, as is true in paintings from throughout his career, Hopper offers select details, but ultimately doesn't reveal who or what we are looking at. BRIAN O'DOHERTY: But she does seem to be a sort of ballerina or dancer. She's in a very flouncy dress. But as I look at it further I see that what she's doing is she's sewing something on her lap and the hand raised, as you may remember from watching your mother. She's sewing and in that hand there's probably—if we could see closely enough—a needle.
Now on the right there is some typical Hopper furniture, a clock—that's rather unusual; time is present. On the left there's another picture. And I look at those things and they're incidentals which gradually tended to be burned away from his art as his vision got purer. But what I do look at as a very powerful thing is that big black vertical on the left which is holding the piece in and is like a kind of exclamation saying, "Look at this picture."
Composer Melissa Grey created an aural response to this work.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- Gordon Tietjens, who has coached the New Zealand sevens rugby team since 1994, will take the team to the 2016 Olympic Games after extending his contract by four years.
The 57-year-old Tietjens has coached New Zealand to nine IRB World Sevens titles and to four Commonwealth Games gold medals as its only coach in the professional era.
New Zealand Rugby Union chief executive Steve Tew said the re-signing was made with a focus on 2016 when sevens will be in the Olympics.
Tew said "one of the key components of our Olympic campaign is to have the very best coaches on board. We now have that in Gordon, who is without a doubt the world's best sevens coach."

The collection of proteins within a tumor may be just as diverse as the collection of altered genes. A recent clinical study of samples from patient tumors found "a surprising degree of heterogeneity in protein expression both across the different patient samples and even within the same tumor."
"The reality is that tumors within a single patient can have different genetic changes, and we have observed this heterogeneity at the protein level as well," said Dr. Cesar Castro of Massachusetts General Hospital, who co-led the study. His team profiled the cells using a technology developed to diagnose cancer rapidly.
To better understand the heterogeneity in cancer cells, Dr. Castro continued, researchers will need minimally invasive techniques that can collect serial specimens, as well as new ways to extract as much information as possible from these samples.

These diamond shaped cookies are one of the oldest cakes made in Sardinia. In this version baking powder is substituted for yeast for a quicker turn around and a more cookie like texture. They were served in olden times for rituals involving the Goddess of the Mediterranean, for which its shape is a stylized representation.
Makes: 1½ dozen cookies
4 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup sugar
1½ cups flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Zest of a lemon
¼ cup water
2 tablespoon melted butter
½ cup confectioner's sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium size mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until it is a light yellow color, about 2 minutes. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and lemon zest and add to the butter mixture. Add the water and mix with a hand mixer, set on low speed, until the water is fully incorporated into the mixture. Do not over mix. Form the dough into a ball with your hands. Wrap it is plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 30 minutes. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board and roll it into an 8x10 x ¼ inch rectangle. With a sharp knife cut 18 (3 inch) diamonds out of the dough. Grease a cookie sheet and place the cookies on the sheet. Brush the tops liberally with the melted butter. Bake just until the cookies start to color, about 15-18 minutes. While the cookies are baking combine the glaze ingredients. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for about 3 minutes. While they are still warm spoon some glaze onto the center of each cookie and then spread it almost to the edge. Allow the cookie to stand undisturbed for about an hour. Serve with espresso if desired.

He has written almost 600 songs now, and some of them are very sad, dealing with hard drugs and tragic ends, hurting yourself and others, sicknesses of both body and brain, off-brand alcohols. They are told in beautiful, unnerving, specific detail, because John Darnielle is a very good writer, and also some of them are just true stories about his own life.
But many have noted that John Darnielle seems often very happy, and his demeanor on stage is almost exclusively unhaunted, ecstatic.
Anyone who reads his Twitter feed knows he takes great delight in his delights: vegan cooking, fat babies, hockey, the beautiful alchemy of Chemex coffee, Anonymous 4, playing music for people, loaning out socks when the time comes, basements.
These are the consolations; and if some of his songs suggest that there are real hells on earth, other songs remind that the heavens are equally close at hand.
(Sometimes they are even the same songs.)

PRESS RELEASE: TwinStar signs multiple albums from sci-fi/horror rock band The Little Black Bottles!
TwinStar is thrilled to announce the signing of two albums, Let Them Eat Red Velvet Cake and Werewolf of Moncton, from sci-fi/horror rock band The Little Black Bottles!
Werewolf of Moncton is the five-track EP debut of the band. The EP, showcasing what a reviewer called the "dark and morbid" with a softer tone, chronicles the evolution of the band from an acoustic duo to it's current 4-piece lineup. Let Them Eat Red Velvet Cake is the band's first full-length album, with songs spanning a wide range of not only sounds but also topics from throughout the horror and sci-fi arenas. Tracks on the album include tributes to zombies, Stephen King, and the movies Carrie and Logan's Run. Also excusively included on the TwinStar version of the album is LBB's single "Baby," a tribute to the Rob Zombie film House of 1,000 Corpses.
Playing throughout the northwest United States since 2008, the Little Black Bottles have been described as "a true Cascadian rock country experience." Founded by Jackie and Myke Fedyk as a two-piece band before expanding and adding members and instruments to develop a more wide-ranging sound, LBB has taken their rollicking, ukulele-driven tavern sound and blown it out into a signature style with wide-ranging influences. TwinStar is thrilled to welcome The Little Black Bottles and these two albums into its catalog.
You can learn more about The Little Black Bottles at TheLittleBlackBottles.com.
TwinStar Media is a new media entertainment company with designs to bring you the best and most unique blend of products you love – music, novels, cookbooks, calendars, novellas, fiction, and non-fiction! Our products are primarily focused on horror (especially zombies) and science-fiction.

States that jump to the front of the line in the 2016 GOP race for president will be subject to even harsher penalties, according to changes adopted Friday by the rules committee of the Republican National Convention.
Secretary of State Brian Kemp, a member of that body, just called from Tampa with news.
We all know that Florida agreed to sacrifice half of its 99 delegates this year in order to hold its presidential primary in the calendar space reserved for Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.
If it tries the same thing next time, Florida – and any other state – will lose all but 12 of its delegates. Nine at-large delegates, plus three members of the Republican National Committee.
Call it the atom-bomb rule. "If you only have 12 delegates to the convention – it makes you wonder if candidates would go to Florida and spend five to ten million dollars to try to win that state for 12 delegates. I think it's going to make people think long and hard about breaking the rules," Kemp said.
Republican delegates must approve the rule change during their convention.
Another change to the 2016 calendar: This year, states that held their primaries between March 1 and April 1 were required to award their delegates proportionally – based on a candidate's performance in the contest.
Georgia was one of them.
Only states that had primaries after April 1 were allowed to hold winner-take-all contests. The distinctions were intended to prevent an early winner – allowing more states to weigh in on the nomination.
In 2016, states will be allowed to hold winner-take-all contests after March 1. Kemp likes that idea. "It simplifies our process, plus it can give us a lot of early influence. We're a big state," he said.

Each election cycle, the "starting" nominating states should be rotated around. Why is it that the folks of Iowa and New Hampshire always get to select the final few candidates? I say to the Republican (and Democratic) party, "Let us all get a turn in making the early decisions." Perhaps in 2016, it should be Kansas and Hawaii — anybody but the two states that have had more than their fair share of dictating to the rest of us who will still be on the ballot when it is our turn to vote.

"Many (Tampa) clubs have taken out ads inviting GOP delegates "to party like a liberal" in a city where the "poles are open all night." City officials say the convention, expected to draw more than 50,000 visitors, could be Tampa's biggest party ever. Imagine all those rainmakers.
…Republicans are likely to outspend Democrats heavily at topless bars and strip clubs, says Angelina Spencer. She heads the Association of Club Executives, an organization for the nation's 4,000 "gentleman's club" owners. The group talked to members in the host cities of past conventions."
"When we compared spending," Spencer notes, "the average showed Republicans spending $150 per person at an adult club, versus Democrats, who averaged $50 a person."

Who cares? States may as well jump to the front of the line, seeing as how RNC officials are just going to rewrite their own rules and re-slate duly elected delegates from their per-approved lists anyways. 12 Delegates, 99 Delegates… It doesn't matter when it's all scripted behind the scenes by a bunch of RINO hacks.

4 top vote getters go to the convention. Leaves 60 days for the potential nominees to craft a message, deliver it and slug it out on the convention floor. The plank gets crafted and the party chooses the candidate who best represents the plank position.
I'd rather see a real convention than a coronation.

I wonder if all of the Republicans and Fox News talking heads will wear the MAGIC Bloomers in solidarity with the ROMNEY"S or even "Little Horn's" clan? They will ALL look so CUTE, All down UNDER!
How about the POLE DANCERS too in Tampa? Karl Rove is going to P'od! about that one!

It is not going to matter in 2016 because Romney will be running for re election.

@Look before I leap…
I agree with you 100% – at least on hold them all on one day. It made sense pre-mass communications, but now there is no reason why you can't get the message out via cable and the internet.
This goes for the GOP as well as the Democrats.

Arkansas Sends Medical Marijuana Law to the Ballot
If voters approve the measure in November, Arkansas would become the first medical pot state in the South.
"Medical marijuana took one step closer to hitting the South on Wednesday, when Arkansas' Secretary of State office confirmed that the issue will be on the ballot there this November. Arkansans for Compassionate Care handed in 69,000 valid signatures – well over the necessary 62,507 – for the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Act, which would set up non-profit organizations to cultivate and sell pot, while allowing patients who live more than five miles from a dispensary to grow their own. The November vote will mark the first time that voters in a Southern state can decide whether to legalize medical pot, and could make Arkansas the U.S.' 18th medical weed state."
Rest of article: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/arkansas-sends-medical-marijuana-law-to-the-ballot-20120824
A medical marijuana bill has been introduced in almost every state in the south except Georgia. But Arkansas is the first southern state to allow the people to vote on it. This is an issue that gets NO ATTENTION from the AJC or our state legislature. People in Georgia should have access to medical marijuana just like they do in other states. Why does Georgia have to be last on everything? Seriously, we just got Sunday alcohol.

A good read, written by a career Washington Republican insider:
"The Party Is Over: How Republicans Went Crazy, Democrats Became Useless, and the Middle Class Got Shafted" Mike Lofgren
"As we embark on the second decade of the 21st century, the commanding heights of corporate America–the banks, the military-industrial complex, corporate interests benefiting from huge subsidies like Big Pharma and Big Oil–largely have the government they want. They have the tax structure they desire. Under Bush appointee Chris Cox, the SEC's regulatory function was wrecked. The military has been so outsourced that the Army can no longer feed itself, while a policy of permanent war assures a perpetual cash flow to contractors. Federal law guarantees pharmaceutical companies the kind of collusive and monopolistic profiteering that antitrust laws were intended to prevent. Corporate America has posted record profits even amid the most protracted period of joblessness in post-World War II history. It is corporate nirvana. Under these circumstances, who needs an activist government? Now that the commanding heights have achieved their objectives, a gridlocked government will work just fine, regardless of who is in charge."

Lofgren, a budget wonk and republican for 28 years, also wrote an great article that was published a couple of weeks ago. It's called "GOP Insider: How Religion Destroyed My Party".

What I want to know is why the state's taxpayers are hvaing to cough up money to pay for primary presidential elections? That's why the political partys have conventions, to select their nominee for President. I say let all of the candidates who want to run stay in until the conventions and if they can win the fight there, then and only then can they put out any advertising!

The democrat version of the atom bomb strategy is that any state that moves up their primary without authorization has to babysit Joe Biden for a month.

Why not refer to it as the "suppress the delegate" rule for consistency's sake — that is, to complement "suppress the vote, suppress access to the media, suppress workers' rights, suppress women's rights, suppress regulation of the banksters, polluters, etc." — suppress anything that might inhibit the monied interests from suppressing you.

If Brian Kemp thinks that candidates will not go to Florida because of the number of delegates involved, he is not very smart. If a candidates wins a large state like Florida it carries momentum into those that follow. I doubt that many voters consult the number of delegates in a state before voting.–I watched a lot of the last convention to go beyond the first ballot. That was the Democratic National Convention in 1952. Conventions decide nothing which is why the major networks do not telecast much of them. They are productions like Broadway plays.
