Dear Colleagues:
This Fall we'll be meeting in Washington, D.C., under the thematic umbrella of Politics, Policy and Public Health, and I look forward to seeing many of you in attendance. This year's theme is so relevant to what we do and how difficult it is to do at times. In that connection there are two important matters – and one slightly less important one – I wanted you to be thinking about.
The first has to do with PFPRH's declining membership, and what, if anything, we are prepared to do about it. We remain one of the larger Sections, but in recent years have lost members to HIV/AIDS, International Health, and Maternal and Child Health, as well as to people's departure from APHA altogether.
Figures on the decline…
Why do our declining numbers matter? A major reason is that for us professionals working both internationally and domestically, APHA is a voice on the issues we care about. When our Section is able to get APHA take a position on an important problem, we can count on active support and the moral authority of a major membership organization that formally expresses its endorsement, concern or dissent on policies, trends, legislation, and so on. These "services" APHA provides us with are all the more important given that the issues we work on tend to be politically charged.
We need to do what we can to energize our membership and encourage new people to join our ranks. Here are a few things you can do:
· Share information about the Section and the benefits of membership with colleagues – professionals and students. Share the PFPRH brochure available at www.pfprh.org with people who don't yet know about us.
· Encourage colleagues to submit papers for consideration at our annual meetings.
· Commit to mentoring our junior colleagues so that APHA is a worthwhile professional association in which to be a member.
· Suggest other bright ideas for involving and cultivating new and existing members!
Enter the second point I wanted to raise with you: changing the name of our Section. Our name, "Population, Family Planning and Reproductive Health" draws a veritable core sample through our field over time. As a demographer, I have always been interested in population and population growth. But I don't believe "population" per se is a health issue, and that is why I personally am willing to contemplate this change.
Our current name, though it is a long list of words, is inclusive, drawing in the gamut of professionals from work on "population" issues internationally, to family planning programs domestically and internationally, to people involved in the more recent reproductive health and rights movement. The concept of "reproductive health," currently tucked at the end of the list, is also inclusive in another way. Our Section draws people – and research – interested in family planning, safe motherhood, abortion, STIs, gender, and other topics, all of which are included in the concept of reproductive health. On the other hand, our name does not refer explicitly to sexuality, a gap, in my view, particularly as we come to appreciate the linkages between gender roles, sexuality and contraceptive use, communication, and other reproductive health-related topics. The connections with some of the other Sections mentioned above in the discussion of our membership decline would be more obvious, and we might well attract additional and perhaps younger members with a more up-to-date name.
I know many of you feel strongly one way or another. I ask you to consider everyone's point of view with an open mind, considering not only your own personal commitments in our field, but also to the implications for our Section. Here are a few questions I ask you to keep in mind: How fully do the terms "population," "family planning," or "reproductive health" characterize the interests of our Section? What do they imply, and what associations do they have? What effect might changing our name have on our membership?
A group of PFPRH members have surveyed our membership and will be organizing some materials and an opportunity for you to weigh in on this topic in the next few months. Please be on the lookout for this Section-wide discussion. The Section leadership has also been in contact with APHA administrators to identify the means through which the population issue might still be recognized systematically if we were to change our name. The idea would be to create a population "forum" that would provide a reason for exchange between meetings and an opportunity to address population issues at the Annual Meetings – which, you may have noted, does not currently happen.
The somewhat – but not entirely – more minor point has to do with the Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. Chair-elect Karen Hardee has put together a program with some excellent panel titles. Please come, and please attend the awards ceremony/business meeting and reception! The people we recognize are very distinguished and deserve our presence. The business we conduct at that full-Section meeting is very limited, and of course is all made worthwhile by our wonderful reception, which was especially rollicking last year.
See you in November, and of course, please write with any questions or concerns you'd like to raise with me before then.
Warm wishes,
Margaret Greene, Chair

Our Section's liaison, Sarah Kelly, has the following message:
Hi Everyone! I am Sarah Kelly, one of the student liaisons for the Population, Family Planning and Reproductive Health Section of APHA. I am currently an environmental and occupational health MPH student at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. My undergraduate background is in women's and gender studies, which is still a passion of mine. In college, I organized on my campus regarding reproductive health. I organized the largest college contingent to the March for Women's Lives in 2004 in D.C. Even though my focus now is on environmental and occupational health, I am still interested in issues relating to population, family planning and reproductive health. I am particularly interested in environmental and occupational exposures and their impact on reproductive health.
As the Section's student liaison, I hope that we can find ways to have students well represented in APHA and in the PFPRH Section. I also hope that we can create exciting programs that the Section student members can do on their own campuses. Please feel free to contact me with any thoughts, ideas or questions at firstname.lastname@example.com. I look forward to working with all of you this year!
Section Representative and Action Board Chair, Lois Uttley,
Director, MergerWatch Project,
c/o Judson Memorial Church, 55 Washington Square South, New York, NY 10012, Phone: (212) 477-0351 E-mail: email@example.com
As chair of APHA's Action Board, Lois Uttley has been able to represent our Section in several roles within APHA, including co-chair of the Joint Policy Committee and an ex officio member of APHA's Executive Board. As a result, our Section has gained a higher profile within APHA.
Members of our Section have been actively engaged in APHA's advocacy efforts this year, including the top-priority campaign for reauthorization of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). Our goals have included: 1) winning authorization of an additional $50 billion in federal funding for SCHIP over the next five years; 2) ensuring that states have the flexibility to use SCHIP funds to cover pregnant women without the need for a waiver or reliance on coverage of the fetus; and 3) giving states the ability to use SCHIP funds to cover legal immigrant children and pregnant women who otherwise would not be eligible because they have yet been in the country for five years.
During the spring, the Action Board targeted the 20 states with senators who are members of the Senate Finance Committee, which plays a key role in deciding legislation such as SCHIP. One of those states is New York, which has Senator Chuck Schumer on the Finance Committee. Three members of our Section – Lois Uttley, Lisa Maldonado and Diana Romero – joined Public Health Association of NYC Executive Director Amy Schwartz in making a visit to Schumer's New York City office to urge Schumer to take a leadership role on SCHIP. Uttley also visited Schumer's Washington, D.C., office to make the same request directly to Schumer's health care legislative aide, Susan Edwards.
The full Senate is expected to vote on SCHIP sometime in July. Your help is needed to make sure SCHIP is reauthorized, fully funded and structured in such a way that it meets the needs of women and children.
How can you help? Go to www.capwiz.com/apha/home to send an e-mail message to your member of Congress and a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. To volunteer to make a call or visit to your member of Congress, please contact Lois Uttley.
APHA also urged its members to support S. 21/H.R. 819, The Prevention First Act, as part of the effort to expand access to preventive health care services that help reduce unintended pregnancy and improve access to women's health care.
As a demonstration of of APHA's strong commitment to reproductive health, the organization has produced and distributed a fact sheet on reproductive health that can be used in advocacy efforts. To view it, go to www.apha.org/advocacy/reports/facts.
APHA responded to the April U.S. Supreme Court ruling on abortion by expressing support for federal legislation that would codify a woman's right to choose abortion. In a May 3 letter to Sen. Barbara Boxer and Rep. Jerold Nadler, APHA Executive Director Georges Benjamin, MD, expressed the organization's "strong support" of S. 1173/H.R.1964, the Freedom Of Choice Act. The proposed legislation would "secure the right to choose by establishing a federal law that will guarantee reproductive freedom for future generations of American women," Dr. Benjamin wrote. He explained that "APHA has long been dedicated to protecting and improving access to family planning services and education and reducing the need for abortion, and we believe that your efforts through this legislation make us perfect partners."
APHA was among the organizations signing an April 10 letter to Sen. Max Baucus, chair of the Senate Finance Committee, opposing the use of Title V federal funds to support abstinence-only-until-marriage programs. The letter stated that $1.5 billion in federal funds has been "squandered" on such programs which are "rife with medical inaccuracies" and have not proven to be effective.
As co-chair of APHA's Joint Policy Committee, Section representative Lois Uttley helped lead the annual review of new policies that have been proposed by members of APHA. One of those policies, proposed by Section member Toni Bond of African-American Women Evolving, was given conditional approval by the JPC in April, subject to the author's making a few requested editing revisions. This proposed policy urges public health professionals to discourage women's use of douching, which can have negative health consequences and has no health benefit.
Our Section also reviewed policies being considered for archiving this year, and made a series of recommendations to the Joint Policy Committee. Three members of our Section – Iris Meltzer, Lisa Maldonado and Kathleen Jones – made significant contributions to our policy review process so far this year. If you would like to join the Section's policy review group, please contact Lois Uttley.

Since the Abortion Task Force was re-constituted at the APHA Annual Meeting last November, members have been very busy. The group established three subcommittees: Plenary, Policy and Communications. The following is a brief update of the activities of the Task Force.
§ The Plenary Sub-committee (led by Pat Kelly and Tracey Weitz) submitted a plenary proposal focused on the politics of abortion for the upcoming APHA Annual Meeting. After much behind-the-scenes organizing and support from our Section, our Section's Sexuality Task Force, the MCH Section, the women's caucus, and others, APHA agreed to include a plenary session on women's health. We were asked to suggest speakers for the session and did so.
§ The Policy Subcommittee (led by Courtney Jackson and Alissa Perrucci) was charged with reviewing existing APHA policies that deal with abortion. The committee identified 35 APHA policies that address abortion. Fifteen individuals volunteered to review policies using a structured form to systematically collect information about policies. Information from the forms was consolidated into an Abortion Policy Database which was distributed to members in May. Current work is focused on reviewing the policy database to prioritize areas to revise, consolidate and to develop new policies. Lisa Maldonado and Anita Brakman are at work crafting a new policy to replace the recently archived policy Abortion (#6718).
§ The Communications Sub-committee (led by Pat Kelly and Wendy Hellerstedt) had a conference call on Wednesday, May 9. At the November meeting it was agreed that this group would put together a Fact Sheet/Brief that highlights the positive role that abortion plays in the larger public health context. The group is now in the process of identifying sources of existing abortion-related information that can be included in such a document and has put together a draft outline to guide the process. Anyone interested in joining this (small) group should email Pat Kelly and copy (cc) Diana Romero. All Section members are also encouraged to send any abortion-related information/sources to Pat. We recognize that there is good information out there and strive to bring it together in one place -- not re-create it.
§ Abortion Task Force Co-Chairs Diana Romero and Lisa Maldonado put together a draft Mission Statement, which is currently under review by Task Force members. The goal is to have a final draft for the group to approve before the Annual Meeting in Washington in November.
§ APHA Scientific program: The Abortion Task Force will work with the Women's Caucus to pull together a list of all abortion-related scientific sessions at the November 2007 Annual Meeting.
If anyone else has ideas of things the Task Force should focus on, please send recommendations to Diana Romero or Lisa Maldonado.

The purpose of the Emerging Reproductive Technologies Task Force is to promote both reproductive justice and human rights perspectives on issues related to new reproductive and genetic technologies (NRGTs) among APHA members in general and PFPRH members in particular. The Task Force plans to engage in activities to raise awareness, build interest, and organize PFPRH/APHA members around policy related to NRGTs. The Task Force will initially focus on assisted reproductive technologies (ART), screening technologies related to ART, and women's eggs for stem cell research. We are focusing on these technologies because there is little attention on them in the public health arena, especially using reproductive justice and human rights approaches.
The ERT Task Force will be presenting a panel at this year's Annual Meeting entitled "Biotechnology, women's health, and reproductive rights: Politics and policy domestically and internationally." The panel will address domestic and international issues related to new genetic and reproductive technologies, with a particular focus on reproductive justice, politics within the U.S. reproductive rights movement, the limited policy that exists in the United States, and policy models that exist in other countries. Speakers will include Jacqueline Payne, Planned Parenthood Federation of America; Reena Singh, MergerWatch; Emily Galpern, Center for Genetics and Society; and George Annas, Boston University School of Public Health.
If you are interested in joining this Task Force, please email Emily Galpern.

The Men and RH Task Force has reconstituted itself, co-chaired by Dr. Fabio Castaño and Michele Burger. Castaño and Burger have extensive experience in male involvement programs. Castaño led EngenderHealth's Men and Partners (MAP) program in Colombia. Burger has consulted for USAID and UNFPA, and was one of the organizers of the conferences on male involvement held in Oaxaca, Mexico (1998) and Dulles, Virginia (2003). We are putting together an exciting program for the Task Force which will be reviewed at the business meeting. Please check the schedule for the time and location of this business meeting.SAVE THE DATE! Tuesday, Nov. 6, time and location TBD. We are planning an evening event where the Task Force will present its plans for the upcoming year. We are also hoping that you will join us for dinner to renew acquaintances and learn more about the Task Force. Those interested in joining us for dinner, please e-mail Michele Burger or Dr. Fabio Castaño.

For several years our Section has discussed the pros and cons of changing our name. At the last APHA Annual Meeting, a small working group was established to formally engage the entire Section on this issue. In order for a Section to change its name, the Section members need to vote on the issue, and a majority of the voters would have to vote in favor of the new name. The Section Name Change Working Group will work with APHA to survey Section members to select a possible new name for the Section. Once we identify a possible new name, APHA will coordinate a Section vote. If a majority of our Section votes for the new name, then the Governing Council will vote to approve our new name.
The Section Name Change Task Force is also interested is exploring the possibility of establishing a Population Forum. APHA recently created Forums to provide the opportunity for Sections to work together on cross-cutting issues. Anyone interested in working with the Section Name Change Working Group on either of these initiatives should contact Lisa Maldonado.

The legislative calendar between Memorial Day and the Fourth of July is traditionally a very busy time on Capitol Hill, and this year is no exception. The next several weeks will feature significant action in both the House and Senate as efforts are underway to restore effective, evidence-based approaches to U.S. assistance on family planning and HIV/AIDS.
Historically in the United States, both the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and international family planning funds are subject to severe and hampering restrictions further limiting the flexibility of these funds to address women in need. The Global Gag Rule (Mexico City Policy) denies foreign organizations receiving U.S. family planning assistance the right to use their own non-U.S. funds to provide legal abortion, counsel or refer for abortion, or lobby for the legalization of abortion in their country. Also, the "abstinence-until-marriage" earmark in PEPFAR requires one third of all prevention funding to go toward "abstinence-until-marriage" programs. The myriad of rules and regulations on both PEPFAR and family planning funding hurt the very people that these programs are supposed to be helping.
On Tuesday, June 5, the annual appropriations process got under way with the House State-Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee's approval of its fiscal year 2008 appropriations bill. The bill contains several important provisions related to family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) programs, both represent desperately needed – and long overdue – changes to the ineffective and destructive heath policies of the Bush administration.
First, the bill would provide an exemption from the Global Gag Rule for contraceptives and condoms, allowing foreign organizations otherwise ineligible for U.S. FP/RH assistance under the Global Gag Rule to receive U.S. government donated contraceptives and condoms.
Secondly, the bill includes a provision that allows the President to waive the current earmark that requires at least one-third of bilateral HIV/AIDS prevention funding to be spent on "abstinence-until-marriage" programs.
The House bill provides $441 million for U.S. international FP/RH programs, a slight increase over current levels but a $116 million increase above the President's request. The bill also contains an earmarked U.S. contribution of $40 million for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), a much needed increase in funding for an organization that has FP/RH programs in nearly double the number of countries that the U.S. does. (Read PAI's factsheet for more information). However, the money is subject to the Kemp-Kasten restriction, which prohibits foreign aid funding for any organization that, "supports or participates in the management of a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization." This amendment has been broadly interpreted by the President allowing it to deny funding to UNFPA for the last five years because of UNFPA's presence in China, a country whose "one-child" policy has led to documented human rights abuses.
Because of the tremendous leadership and dedication of congressional champions such as Subcommittee Chair Nita Lowey, the House bill will save tens of thousands of lives and improve the quality of life for countless more women and children. The provisions on the Gag Rule and abstinence represent a much-needed restoration of common sense when it comes to U.S. policies on family planning and HIV/AIDS.
The House appropriations bill is tentatively scheduled to be considered by the full House of Representatives the week of June 18. Shortly thereafter, the Senate is likely to begin moving its own version of the FY 2008 Foreign Operations bill.
The House provision exempting contraceptives from the Global Gag Rule's restrictions marks a growing awareness among Members of Congress about the shortages of contraceptives in many poor, developing nations. More than 200 million women in the developing world wish to delay or end childbearing but don't have access to modern contraceptives. As PAI has documented in detail in recent years through extensive research in the field, this shortfall in contraceptive supplies is growing -- and U.S. restrictions under the Global Gag Rule are greatly exacerbating the problem. (Watch Access Denied: U.S. Family Planning Restrictions in Zambia, a PAI documentary to learn more.)
Providing contraceptives to the 200 million women who lack desired access to them would avert 52 million unwanted pregnancies each year. This would prevent an estimated 29 million abortions, 142,000 pregnancy-related deaths, and 505,000 children from losing their mothers. That's why the stand-alone version of the Global Gag Rule-Contraceptives provision (H.R. 2367) is sponsored by a diverse group of Members of Congress on both sides of the abortion issue, including anti-abortion Members such as Jim Oberstar, D-Minn., Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, and Mike Michaud, D-Maine, and pro-choice Members such as Russ Carnahan, D-Mo., Mark Kirk, R-Ill., Barbara Lee, D-Calif., Betty McCollum, D-Minn., and Chris Shays, R-Conn.
Support is also growing in Congress for stand-alone bills that would repeal the abstinence-until-marriage earmark in PEPFAR. Legislation to repeal the abstinence restrictions has been introduced in the House by Reps. Barbara Lee and Chris Shays and in the Senate by Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Olympia Snowe, R-Maine. The bills, H.R. 1713 and S. 1553, respectively, respond to growing evidence from independent investigations -- and countless stories from the field –- that the abstinence restrictions are undermining U.S. efforts to prevent new HIV infections.

APHA Student Assembly Alumni Database
This year, the APHA Student Assembly Opportunities Committee provided more resources to students regarding scholarships, conferences, job postings, potential employers, and fellowships/internships. In addition to these endeavors, the committee revamped the Student Assembly Alumni Database. The Alumni Database is meant to not only allow the Student Assembly to keep track of their past members, but it also provides current and potential students access to learn about possible careers in the public health field.
To access the Alumni Database, students can visit www.aphastudents.org and click on the Opportunities Committee link. Here students can look at job positions currently held by public health professionals in the field. Prospective public health students could access this database and view jobs that people with public health degrees have to gain a better understanding of the wide variety of career paths available to them. Alumni range from recent graduates working in fellowships or entry-level positions to seasoned health professionals with well-established research agendas.
The Student Assembly Opportunities Committee Co-Chairs are working to increase participation of alumni in the Alumni Database. Anyone who at one time was a member of the Student Assembly (previously entitled Public Health Student Caucus) can visit the Web site, complete the form available at www.aphastudents.org/phso_alumni_db.php and return it to firstname.lastname@example.com . This endeavor depends on the cooperation of the Student Assembly alumni. With alumni support, the Database can become a wonderful resource for the next generation of public health students. We hope you will consider taking a few moments to add yourself to the Alumni Database.
If you have any questions or want more information, please feel free to contact Jennifer Cremeens or Anna Pollack, the Opportunities Committee co-chairs, at email@example.com.

Advocates for Youth has a new fact sheet on Adolescent Maternal Mortality. Maternal mortality statistics underscore how societies have failed women, especially young women in developing countries. As many as 529,000 women die each year from complications of pregnancy andchildbirth. Pregnancy is the leading cause of death for young women ages 15 through 19. The reproductive health of adolescent women depends on biological, social, cultural, and economic factors. Programs mustprovide education, family planning services, and pre- and postnatal care to reduce morbidity and mortality among young women.

Greetings! I hope you have enjoyed my first issue as Newsletter Editor for the Population, Family Planning, and Reproductive Health Section. I inherited this important responsibility from our colleague Susanna Binzen, who for the past 15+ years has done a terrific job of keeping us well-informed and connected in between Annual Meetings. Working on this issue has already provided an opportunity to [virtually] meet our Section leadership and many contributing members. For those of you who don't know me, I am a researcher at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I work in the Division of Reproductive Health as a member of a team that provides technical assistance to developing countries on population-based Reproductive Health Surveys. Prior to serving in this position, I held fellowship positions in various Centers of the CDC as well as in the HIV, TB & Reproductive Health Program at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
With the Spring 2007 issue, APHA has implemented a brand new system for posting Section newsletters on the Web site. I appreciate your understanding as I get caught up to speed and begin exploring new and improved ways to communicate with members through our Section Newsletter. I hope to add more photos, graphics and interesting content to future issues. I want to give a special thanks to Susanna for providing an excellent model. Also, many thanks to our Section Chair, Meg Greene and to those of you who provided articles for this issue.
The aim of the newsletter is to represent the interests of all members, so I encourage feedback and suggestions about what you would like to see. Please send me articles, photos, and other information that you would like to share with colleagues. Also, I welcome ideas for new directions.

Verizon Foundation Receives National Council on Economic Education's 2008 Visionary Award
The Verizon Foundation was honored as a 2008 Visionary Award-winner by the National Council on Economic Education (NCEE) on Thursday, October 30.
At the awards ceremony, held at the St. Regis Hotel in New York, NCEE President and CEO Dr. Robert Duvall said, "Few fit the definition of 'Champion of Economic Empowerment' in as convincing a fashion at this year's four remarkable honorees. Not only do they represent, in powerful ways, why economics matters but they bring it to life on a daily basis while inspiring others to follow their lead."
NCEE is a nationwide network promoting economic literacy for teachers and students. The goal is to help students develop the skills they need to be successful consumers, savers, investors, citizens, members of the workforce and participants in a global economy.
The Verizon Foundation won the award for "funding programs that address the heart of social issues such as literacy, technology education and domestic violence and building partnerships to replicate the most successful programs in communities across the country."
Since 2000, the Verizon Foundation has invested more than $400 million in the U.S. and around the world to help others. In 2007, it awarded more than $69.4 million in grants to charitable and nonprofit agencies serving the needs of diverse communities.
Bridging the Gap
NCEE surveys show that nearly half of young people don't understand how to save and invest for retirement, handle credit cards, or know how government spending affects them.
That's why they developed EconEdLink, an Internet-based source of economic lesson materials for teachers and students, delivered through Verizon's Thinkfinity.org. Thanks to significant funding and support from the Verizon Foundation, EconEdLink offers 570 downloadable economic lesson plans that are accessed by more than 100,000 teachers annually.
"The simple truth is that financial and economic literacy are fundamental 21st Century skills, and the economic challenges of the past month support that statement," said Verizon Senior Vice President and Controller, Tom Bartlett, who accepted the award on behalf of the Verizon Foundation.
"Thinkfinity's resources for economic and financial education have never been more valuable, and we are proud to partner with NCEE in helping students, teachers and families acquire and reinforce these critical skills," Bartlett said.
In addition to the Verizon Foundation, honorees included John Rogers, founder, chairman and chief investment officer of Ariel Capital Management, one of the largest African-American owned investment firms; Mary Chapiro, CEO of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and chairman of the FINRA Investor Education Foundation; and Julie Stav, cofounder of Tu Dinero, the nation's first Spanish-language personal finance magazine.

COOPERSVILLE, MI (WHTC) - A group of professional thieves struck a Coopersville car dealer this week.
Tires and rims from 52 vehicles were stolen from the lot of the Betten Baker dealership off of the I-96/68th Avenue junction sometime before dawn this past Tuesday, with an initial loss estimated at over 50 thousand dollars. Hours earlier, another dealer in Montcalm County was struck and the timing, proximity, volume of loot and professionalism seen in both incidents has led Ottawa County Sheriff's Detective Lieutenant Mark Bennett to believe that the same gang is behind this.
No suspects are in custody, and anyone with any information is asked to contact the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department or Silent Observer (877-88-SILENT, www.mosotips.com).

I fell in love with the name Contessa as a child after watching the movie Ever After when Drew Barrymore's character introduces herself to Prince Henry as "Countess Nicole de Lancre". It sounded so beautiful coming out of her mouth. It wasn't until years later that I realized what I thought was her first name was a title, haha. I still think Contessa is beautiful, especially as a route for nn Tess, but maybe not so usable anymore. It was on my list for a while, though!

I love the Esther & Quintessa suggestions! At first read, I thought the sound was nice despite the fancy title aspect, but after giving it more thought the Cont beginning is problematic for me as it could result in vulgar teasing.
I think you could get to Tess with a name like T____ Agnes as well, a kind of smoosh nickname that opens up your options.
Thais is lovely. I say Tah-ees, not far from a softer Therese and not far from a more romantic Tess.

[Image Description: Animated gif of the Greek God Hades, as depicted in Disney's Hercules turning from blue flame to red then back to blue, putting his fingers to his temples and saying, "Memo to me: Maim you after my meeting." End description.]
For one, yes, many of these triggers are common—that is why the list is called "Common Trigger Warnings". I commend you on taking a title and turning it into an explanatory statement.
Trauma triggers are very real. Being triggered isn't a sign someone isn't "grow[ing] up". You need to do a little research before you declare real problems a matter of of people who need to grow up. Since you obviously didn't come hear for information as much as you did to be a shit, I won't be helping you with that. Though you're welcome to use the Anon option again if you actually want information on triggers.
In regard to your "nanny state" comment, no one on this blog has advocated that the government make trigger warnings legally mandatory (whether or not anyone on this believes they should be, no one has advocated). But good going revealing yourself to be the kind of douche bag who uses the word "nanny state".
Thank you for telling us. As soon as I can figure out what's keeping me from editing the pages and how to fix it, I'll be sure to correct that.
I don't see how there would be…?
Okay, so this clearly needs to be discussed before it is removed from the list.
I would like to start out saying I'm really having issues dealing with how this is phrased because there are FAAB trans women & MAAB trans men & not all non-binary people who are FAAB are masculine & not all MAAB non-binary people are feminine. Some of that is coming from this ask specifically & some of it is coming from the way that I have seen people talk about this subject when they bring birth assignment into the equation, but I needed point it out.
I do think that you have a point, Anon, but I think you're a little off in how you present it. Non-cis people (who may or may not ID as trans* because not everyone does) are punished for their femininity and/or masculinity and for their non-cisness, but it has a lot more to do with an intersectionality of sexism and cissexism with gender role norms than a specific axis of masculine privilege. Feel free to elaborate on your point if you disagree. I may elaborate on what I mean here in the near future.

If you plan to dine out this weekend, you'll want to check out CBS Atlanta's exclusive Restaurant Report Card first.
Every Thursday night at 11 p.m. CBS Atlanta News will share the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to metro Atlanta restaurants.
This week, Donny's Home Cooking at 4674 Sandy Plains Rd. in Cobb County failed a surprise health inspection.
"We didn't agree with what they gave us. The guy that came here was telling us our temperatures weren't good enough," manager Todd Labit said.
Donny's scored 63 points and a "U" for unsatisfactory. Inspectors found the facility to be very soiled and dirty with food debris, especially behind equipment. Plus, cabbage was stored uncovered in the kitchen and okra, macaroni salad and tuna were at unsafe temperatures.
"You know our boss man, he is a good guy. He just has bad luck. He can't seem to keep his temperature right on his cold food bar," server Tonya Lackey said.
The owner, James Kim, told CBS Atlanta his buffet bar was broken and that he hired a repairman to fix it.
We asked the owner to check the food temperatures on the buffet line and they were within a safe range during our visit.
We also asked the owner to show us the kitchen, where we spotted a problem in the cooler. Multiple food items were uncovered in storage.
Donny's picked up 81 points and a "B" on a re-inspection.
"The food is good. It's like home cooked food. It's like grandmother used to make," one customer said.
Last week, Bonefish Grill at 1350 Scenic Hwy. in Snellville failed an inspection and this week we've learned they improved to 87 points and a "B" on a re-inspection.
There were several good scores around metro Atlanta this week. In Fulton County, Los Rancheros at 2090 Dunwoody Club Dr. scored a 95. In Clayton County, Pizza Hut at 5707 Jonesboro Rd. picked up a 98 and in DeKalb County, Chick-fil-A at 4800 Briarcliff Rd. in Northlake Mall received a 97.
Last but not least, Mary Mac's Tea Room at 224 Ponce De Leon Avenue in Atlanta received an "A" on their inspection and was the featured restaurant of the week.

MOVIES: 'Samurai Jack' Creator Hired to Direct 3D Animated'Popeye'
Last year, we reported that a new Popeye film was being developed, and that writers of The Smurfs, David Ronn and Jay Scherick, worked on the screenplay for Sony Pictures. Well, now it looks like the movie has a director in Samurai Jack creator, Genndy Tartakovsky.
Variety reports that Tartakovsky will be in the director's chair to adapt a 3D animated feature of the spinach eating salior. While Tartakovsky is currently working on his upcoming film, Hotel Transylvania (slated for a September 21st release), Popeye could likely be his next upcoming project. Of course, there are also plans to also bring his popular animated television show Samurai Jack to the big screen too, and last we heard of that, Tarsem Singh (Immortals, Mirror, Mirror), wanted to direct it.
Popeye... Samurai Jack... I guess we'll see what comes first.

JD Supervised Research
Application Deadlines
2014 Summer Semester: Thursday, May 22, 2014 by 5:00 p.m.
2014 Fall Semester: Tuesday, September 2, 2014 by 5:00 p.m.
2015 Spring Semester: Monday, January 12, 2015 by 5:00 p.m.
Submit this completed form to: Louis Fine, Office of the Registrar
Phone 202-662-9224, Fax 202-662-9235
The Faculty augments the Law Center's seminar offerings by providing a Supervised Research option, through which students work independently on a writing project under the supervision of a faculty member for 2 credits. Supervised Research projects provide faculty guidance to students in areas where there is no curricular offering or where a student wishes to explore a subject in greater depth than would be possible in an existing course. Supervised Research projects must meet the requirements of the upperclass legal writing requirement (see the Upperclass Legal Writing Requirement on p. 5 of the Georgetown Law Student Handbook), and the professor and student must establish a calendar of meetings that allows for the kind of interaction contemplated for writing seminars.
To be eligible to apply to undertake a Supervised Research project while enrolled at the Center for Transnational Legal Studies, the project must first be approved by Assistant Dean Scott Foster, Executive Director for the Center for Transnational Legal Studies.
To apply for a Supervised Research project, a student must complete an application form and submit it to the Office of the Registrar by the deadline for the relevant semester (see Application Deadlines above). All requests to undertake a Supervised Research project must be approved by the Associate Dean for the J.D. program. The Associate Dean for the J.D. Program will be receptive to proposals meeting the goals of Supervised Research Projects and expects to approve most proposals for supervision by full-time faculty; however, approval is not automatic. Students should consider the following rules applicable to Supervised Research projects when submitting a proposal:
The student must have at least a "C" (2.00/4.00) grade point average.
Students must demonstrate that they have a well-developed topic suitable for a substantive scholarly paper satisfying the upperclass legal writing requirement. Students must indicate the scheduled meeting dates with the professor, the due dates for submission of the outline, first draft, and final draft, and list the semester(s) in which the project is to be completed.
Because the time demanded of the professor is substantial, it is expected that students ordinarily will seek sponsorship from full-time faculty. Where a student makes a good-faith effort to obtain sponsorship by a full-time faculty member and is unable to do so, sponsorship by an adjunct faculty member may be approved by the Associate Dean for the J.D. Program.
A student ordinarily may not undertake a Supervised Research project more than once. Students proposing to take Supervised Research for a second time must disclose this on their application.
A Supervised Research project will not be approved when the proposal repeats work for which credit is currently being or has previously been granted in another course or for which the student has been compensated during employment.
Proposals may call for research to be in completed in one or two semesters; only 2 credits, however, will be awarded.
The final Supervised Research paper should be submitted either through the Georgetown Law Online Paper/Exam Management System, at http://apps.law.georgetown.edu/exams/, or in hard copy to the Office of the Registrar. Once a final paper has been submitted for grading, no amendments, revisions, or supplements, will be permitted or accepted. Credit for the upperclass legal writing requirement will be given for papers receiving a passing grade.
Students must complete the upperclass legal writing requirement as follows: (1) by successfully completing a seminar or clinic designated in the Curriculum Guide as meeting the upperclass legal writing requirement (i.e. see the "WR" notation in the course schedule); or (2) by successfully completing a Supervised Research project that has been approved by the Associate Dean for the J.D. Program, described above.
The upperclass legal writing requirement is intended to provide students with the opportunity to refine research and writing skills learned in the first year, and to develop the skills necessary to undertake writing projects on their own following graduation from law school. Students choose topics, submit outlines, prepare and submit a first draft, and complete the final paper in consultation with faculty members in approved seminars, clinics and Supervised Research projects.
In the course of completing the upperclass legal writing requirement, students show their mastery of the in-depth research undertaken and demonstrate how they have organized, clarified, or advanced this body of knowledge in resolving the issues raised by the paper. Final papers must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar, not to the professor, by the deadline announced by the professor. Final papers should be submitted either through the Georgetown Law Online Paper/Exam Management System, at http://apps.law.georgetown.edu/exams/, or in hard copy to the Office of the Registrar. Once a final paper has been submitted for grading, no amendments, revisions or supplements will be permitted or accepted.
The technical requirements for the upperclass legal writing requirement include: (1) use of legal forms of citation (when appropriate); (2) submission of an outline and a first draft of at least 6,000 words (excluding footnotes), in accordance with the professor's instructions and schedule; and (3) submission of a revised final paper of at least 6,000 words (excluding footnotes) based on the professor's comments. Papers of 6,000 words (excluding footnotes) in length are approximately 25 typewritten pages using customary margins and spacing. All work must be that of the student in consultation with the supervising professor or must be cited for attribution to others. Students will receive a grade for both the course and the paper portions of the course. Both grades will be reflected on the student's transcript, however, only the course grade is calculated in the student's overall grade point average.
If a student fails to submit the final paper by the due date (including any extension), the student will receive an AF for the seminar. The AF will be reflected on the student's transcript and factored into the student's cumulative grade point average as an earned F. See the Attendance, Examinations, and Written Work section of the Georgetown Law Student Handbook, p. 17. See also the Withdrawals and Leaves of Absence section of the Georgetown Law Student Handbook, p. 34 for information on withdrawing from individual courses.)
Because a paper that meets the upperclass legal writing requirement should be a product of the student's own work in consultation with the supervising professor, students who are interested in using their final paper as a law journal note may do so only: (1) after the paper has been submitted for grading; and (2) to the extent the student has not received comments, edits, or other feedback on the paper from individuals other than their supervising professor (or in connection with classroom discussion as overseen by such professor) prior to the time it is submitted for grading.

The Word: Are Hemsworth and Cyrus done?
Attention Liam Hemsworth. If you're going to cheat on fiancee Miley Cyrus, don't do it at the Chateau Marmont. The Los Angeles hotel swarms daily with paparazzi and gossips; it's akin to taking out a billboard on I-95.
Here's the dirt: Hemsworth (aka: Mr. Miley To-Be) was seen getting "hot and heavy" with January Jones at a pre-Oscar party over the weekend, per Star magazine. "It looked like they had some hot chemistry," an eyewitness told the rag. "They were all over each other – and they even kissed!"
For her part, Cyrus showed up on Sunday at the Elton John AIDS Foundation's viewing party sans date and "was all over the place" (this is code for "drunk").
So what does this mean? I'm not sure. All I know is that Hemsworth is 23, while Cyrus is 20. This — the illicit kissing, the partying — sounds like appropriate behavior for people barely out of their teens. Not signing up for a lifelong contract with one another. Oh, wait, I also know I don't want to see Billy Ray Cyrus angry. Good luck with that, January and Liam.
