The Bander Family Fund award is intended to encourage students to think creatively in defining work that can only be done outside of the classroom. The Bander Fund will award $4,000 to one or two successful Arts and Sciences undergraduate students who wish to pursue such an independent project over the summer. The work may be independent research, a creative venture, or an internship directly related to a field of study. KSAS freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are eligible to apply. Seniors are not eligible for this award.
A final academic report, of approximately 10 pages, outlining the intellectual outcomes of the study must be submitted by the end of the summer. The student will be responsible for determining if IRB approval is needed prior to beginning the project.
Successful proposals will describe a unique proposition for self-directed learning as well as personal and societal enrichment through a combination of innovative thinking and a willingness to explore the possible and not just the probable.
Funds may be used to defray costs associated with the project, such as expendable supplies, special equipment, project-related travel, and other miscellaneous expenses. A living stipend may be allowed if the applicant can demonstrate how this will directly facilitate his or her ability to carry out the project.
Please apply via the online application found here.
One letter of recommendation from a faculty member is required. Once your application is complete, please ask your recommender to upload the letter where indicated at the top of the application.
Deadline 2015: Friday, February 20th by 11:59 pm

Ok, well you didn't say that. But I did.
For those who didn't know, and sure most of yall did, coach Paul Johnson turned 52 on Thursday.
So, before we get to other stuff, I wanted to ask yall about cool gifts related to your favorite team. What's the coolest Georgia Tech-related gift you've ever received or given, and why?
And, on to other stuff. In the practice report you may have read that Demaryius Thomas missed practice with a couple of injured digits. I wouldn't sweat it. He's been playing with since injuring it at the start of August. He's just being held out as a precaution.
In other news, Kyle Jackson got to do some conditioning drills with the team today. I believe it was his first day getting to participate.
Somebody asked for an update about Roddy Jones in the previous blog. Johnson said today that Jones' cast will be coming off Monday.
Someone also asked for an update on J.C. Lanier. He missed at least one practice earlier this week. To be honest, I didn't get a chance to see if he was back today.
Also in the practice report I wrote about the possibility of Tech having two 1,000-yard rushers this season. Jonathan Dwyer raised the possibility of three, but that's more the power of positive thinking, I think. But who knows?
Anyway, I wanted to get yall's take on the possibility that Tech could have two 1k dudes this year. Nesbitt and Jones each came within 10 yards of 700 last season. Who's to say another year in the offense couldn't produce another 1k rusher?

I know it is off topic… Why did teachers work at school on furlough days but college coaches are not allowed to come on campus on theirs. Since you aren't allowed in practice right now, do some digging on this topic Doug. Thanks.
August 20th, 2009
9:04 pm
Its hard not to be optimistic. But CPJ said Nesbitt should be 1k running 3k in the air. If he is anywhere near that we are NC's.
August 20th, 2009
9:16 pm
Luallen is still out. Other than Jaybo Shaw, any player who is out will not miss significant time, according to cpj.
teachers weren't supposed to work at school on furlough days. I couldn't being to tell you if they did.
August 20th, 2009
9:17 pm
That should say begin to tell you. Sorry about that
August 20th, 2009
9:31 pm
Just FYI, at least 80% of teachers worked on the furlough days… At the open schools. I guess coaches are just going to not show up for a few days at work during the season? That won't happen.
August 20th, 2009
9:36 pm
Any idea when Luallen might be able to practice? I figured he was still out or you would have reported that he was back!!!

I took a 4ft. length of Railroad Track to CJP last year. The note was "Laying Track to the top of the ACC". I don't know if he got it or saw it, but I hope it was a piece of last years team heading to the top of the ACC.

Years ago I made a walking cane that was painted and covered with all of Joe Hamilton's wins. I delivered it to the coaches office a few days before Joe went to New York. I played Eddie lee Ivory and Don Bessillieu i a game of horse at Pepper Rogers football camp. I think I won, but they may have thrown the game. I was given Don's game jersey for the 78 Peach Bowl. Tech lost to Purdur, but I wear that jersey on throw-back games. Don did play for the Fins for a few years too.

Doug, years ago I received (and I still have) a marble paper weight with a swatch of the artificial turf that had been taken up and replaced at Grant Field. What I'd like to find is one of the photos that they sold with ads in GT publications after the 1991 Citrus Bowl – the one that was a shot of the endzone with scoreboard showing the GT 45 – Nebraska 21 score and the Tech fans in that section which included our seats. Anybody know of a source?

This last birthday I got a nice GT hoody, a book on the history of GT Football, and the marque gift…a sweet model of the Ramblin' Wreck. Needless to say, I was all smiles .
Sweet to see that it looks like that PRP procedure for Jackson seems to be working!
August 20th, 2009
11:17 pm
Dwyer will get anywhere between 1,000 and 1,300 yards… I dont think his numbers will improve that much because of the increased passing game and addition of Anthony Allen. I think if we were to have another 1,000 yard rusher it would be Roddy Jones or Anthony Allen. Nesbitt will run for 700-900. Marcus Wright 400-500. Embry 300-400. I could see Anthony Allen and Roddy Jones running for 1,000+ for one of them and 800 or so for the other.
August 20th, 2009

The best Tech gift I gave was to my whole family: finally getting my own durn season tickets. Now we have eight.
Go Jackets!
August 20th, 2009
11:54 pm
Dwyer definitely. Given that there are 12 regular season games, hopefully an ACC championship game and a bowl game, I think that either Roddy or Allen should be able to join Dwyer above the 1000yd mark. Towards the end of the season Nesbitt was pitching the ball to A-backs more than he was running it himself. I expect that trend will contune….

With the stable of running backs on the roster who will be rotating in and out, together as a team, the numbers should be around 4,000 yards for the season in year # 2. How it is broken down between the individuals players is of no consequence. The passing game needs to be between 140 to 160 yards per game. With those numbers, and the returning defense, that will put Tech into the ACC Championship game.

It would be nice to see Nesbitt, Dwyers and Jones get over 1000 yards, but I rather have the win.
Last Christmas my Ga Dawg brother gave me a Present wrapped in Geogia Bulldog paper. I immediately threw it in the fire place. Just a first response and he yanked it out quickly; nevertheless I opened it to find Georgia Tech Clock, two glasses, shot glasses, throw blanket, tags, key ring, and season tickets. Pure love from a brother that doesn't pull for me Jackets. Way to go bro!

2-2 at best, GT65? which games do you think are guaranteed losses? Jax State at home? Clemson at home for the white out? UNC at home? Miami at Miami, who we've owned the last four years? 4-0 is more likely than 1-3, and maybe slightly more likely than 2-2, which is hardly the best case.
August 21st, 2009
8:22 am
TechDan- GT65, just like GT66 are fans of the team in Athens. They just like to yank chains. Please don't list 'Clemson at home for the white out" in your argument. "Clemson at home" is fine, but we all remember what can happen when teams think they can chalk up a win because of a BLACKOUT, or in this case a whiteout.
August 21st, 2009

Best Gift – tickets and a trip to see GT basketball play LSU (w/ Shaq) in (I believe) the round of 32 in Tennessee back in 1990/91. Tech fell behind by about 20 early on, then dug in and clawed back. Lethal weapon three!!!

A few years ago, I received a beautiful GT snow globe for my birthday. My 2-year old daughter wanted to play with it in the living room and I thought that would be fine. Minutes later, she walks into the kitchen, drops it on the tile floor, and shatters the globe. Anybody know of a good snow globe repair shop?

If there is a team in the state that comes out of September 2-2 or 1-3, it will be UGA! Oh, and then another loss the first game of October.

Tech gifts: I've had many fine Tech related gifts given to me over the years, but the best by far is a piece of the goalline from the 1991 Citrus Bowl. It's a handfull of turf with a little white paint showing. I keep it in a plastic bag. Looks like a stash of weed. Second best, the wishbone from our tailgate picnic fried chicken in the rain on the UGA campus in 1974.
August 21st, 2009
9:45 am
UGA will lose 5 or six games this season and will not be in the top 25 for the first time since CMR arrived in athens. This be said, I feel your pain UGA fans and I understand why you have to lash out at GT, who will compete for a BCS bowl every year for at least the next three. THWG and how sweet it is to listen to you guys wine like the swine you are.
August 21st, 2009
9:55 am
If GT could play UGA 4 or 5 times this season, there's no question GT would have a MINIMUM of TWO 1,000 yard rushers.

The U.S. News & World Report college ratings are out today, and Georgia schools retained their rankings from last year for the most part.
I think the rankings influence where students go to college. (I also think many students are influenced by the "Colleges that Change Lives" franchise.)
Many people dismiss college status as a factor, but there's evidence that where you go to school impacts how much you earn.
PayScale Inc., which compiles compensation data, says the median starting salary for Ivy League graduates is about 30 percent higher than that of liberal-arts college graduates. However, the study doesn't address whether that pay differential is the result of a better education, or simply because the Ivies attract higher-achieving students in the first place. (I would also ask whether the Ivies attract better connected kids; it's easier to end up at Goldman Sachs if your mother worked there.)
In its 2009 report, PayScale says the median starting salary for a University of Georgia graduate was $43,900, compared to $60,00 for a Harvard grad, $58,900 for a Georgia Tech grad, and $50,600 for an Emory grad.
I am sorry to report that PayScale also lists degrees that pay you back and teaching and journalism offer some of the lowest returns. The big money is in the STEM fields; science, technology, engineering and math.
August 21st, 2009
10:08 am
Teachers should not be allowed on campus on furlough days because I can just see the coming legal action to require that we pay them for that time. Teachers already get a 12 month pay check for working only 9 months, plus they get two weeks off at Christmas, a week each for Fall and Spring break, and all the other little holidays like Thanksgiving. If they want to compare their pay with what TAXPAYERS make in 12 months, then they should work 12 months, and not fewer than 9.
August 21st, 2009
10:10 am
Three may be stretching, but it's not entirely impossible, I guess.
I agree with a previous poster who alluded to the 4,000 yard mark as a target for this year (I believe you guys were closer to 3,300 or so last year, but not sure and I am too lazy to look it up right now).
If everyone stays healthy, I think it's likely that Nesbitt and Dwyer each have 1,000 + yard seasons, with likely Roddy Jones and Anthony Allen with the bulk of the rest.
The 3,000 yard number passing for Nesbitt is extremely aggressive. I would expect a more reasonable breakdown to be 2,000 yards passing and 1,000 rushing from him.
Regarding Jackson, that would seem to be huge loss for your group of linebackers if he can't go.
How is your depth at LB? Does the scheme, with the Wolf position, make this less of a big deal than it would ordinarily be if you ran a more traditional 4-3?
August 21st, 2009
10:18 am
Bro, if u have facebook, the pic of the scoreboard that you are looking for where GT beats Neb in the Citrus Bowl is on the following link:
August 21st, 2009
10:25 am
We still have pretty good depth at LB, but the loss of Kyle Jackson does hurt tremendously because he was a backup that had the skills of a starter. The wolf position is just designed to create havoc and to be able to adapt to different defenses without changing the scheme. The 4-2-4-wolf, i guess you could call it lol, can lign the wolf up at LB against a traditional offense or lign him up as a 3rd safety against a spread offense. Cooper Taylor will start at wolf and will be backed by Mario Edwards. The two deep is pretty solid at that position. The third wolf would have been Anthony Barnes, a converted true linebacker. He was on track to start last year as a LB but got injured for the majority of the season. Now he is healthy, so I would imagine with the quality depth at wolf and the loss of Kyle Jackson, the coaching staff will move barnes back to the LB rotation. Jackson wont be out for the entire season, tthough. Hes already back at practice. We also have Steven Sylvester and Malcum Monroe, both of whom are very athletic LB that were solid recruits out of HS, they just lack experience. But I think they will do just fine as backups because they are talented, we just havent seen them yet.
August 21st, 2009
10:28 am
BTW, regarding Kyle Jackson, i mentioned he was back at practice, but hes not in playing capability yet. He had surgury and is wearing a prrotectice boot and ran through some conditioning drills but isnt allowed for contact yet. So i would imagine he would be out for Jax State just to have him heal up even more, but im not sure of how long into the season he will be out. If he is already out there, I would think that we will see him very soon, of course it may take him atleast a game to get back into it.

Has any of you guys checked out VT´s ACC´s schedule? It´s by far easier than GT´s… So even though we should (and must) win against VT @ home… we better take care of the rest of our ACC games or we could lose the Coastal Division…
VT could easily go 7-1 (losing to GT) and maybe UNC (but don´t think so since they play in Blacksburg… Check this out!!!

Kahlo's Super Cool Lucha Libre Room
Nursery Tour
Name: Kahlo Roel (10 months)
Location: Houston, Texas
Room Size: 170 sq ft
New mom, Erika, knew she wanted her son's room to be a fun, colorful space. She also knew she wasn't so into the traditional themed nurseries. Taking cues from her husband's Mexican heritage, their love for color, and a suggestion from a friend, the luchador theme was born. We'd say she succeeded in avoiding traditional themes indeed. And she did it with style, fun, and sophistication. She resisted the temptation to overload the room with every lucha libre piece she could find and kept it sweet and light with a bold stroke of humor.
What was your inspiration in designing this room? The luchador theme is awesome. How did you come up with it? We knew that we did not want a typical themed room of elephants, giraffes, or disney characters. Though we don't think any of those themes are horribly wrong, we knew it wasn't for us. We knew that we wanted our kids rooms to be fun and colorful. We decided on primary colors, and seeked advice from one of our talented friends to come up with a storyboard to help us visualize it. My husband is very much into his Mexican heritage and we wanted to carry that over into the design of Kahlos' room. When my girlfriend mentioned using our set of luchadores as a theme for his room, we loved the idea and went with it!
What was your biggest challenge? After deciding on the luchador theme, I went straight to Etsy to look for any kind of luchador decor. Surprisingly, there was a lot more than I imagined. I think the hardest part, and it still is, is holding back from buying anything and everything with a luchador printed on it. I wanted the luchadores to be present in the room but not completely take over. Also, working with our ugly, bland carpet that we are hoping to replace with hardwood soon, but I guess that wasn't really a challenge just something we really don't like!
What is your favorite part of the room? There are really so many things I love about his room. The yellow and white striped blanket my dad made from an Ikea duvet cover, along with the small rugs under the crib that my dad also hand stitched together with a big red X pattern. The blue knitted blanket made by my aunt, it's huge and he spent a lot of time on it as a newborn. There is a small picture of my husband as a baby and a photo I snapped from my hospital bed, of my grandma holding him the day he was born, he was her 16th great grandchild and I love that she was able to meet him.
What is your proudest DIY project? The roman shades, from the tutorial on Little Green Notebook. It's one of the first projects my husband and I worked on together and it was great to see the finished product after a long night. I was very pregnant when we made them, so getting around my growing belly proved to be a challenge, I took a lot of breaks to catch my breath!
Do you have any advice for other parents who are just starting on the nursery design process? Try to incorporate special pieces that have a story behind them or special meaning to you, family photos, buy handmade, and don't buy all the baby furniture they make you believe you need. Also, stay true to your design asthetic. I absolutely love all the sophsiticated nurseries with very neutral colors. They seem so calming and relaxing but I knew that it wouldn't work with the rest of the design of our home. We are still working on decorating our house but all the walls are bright white with pops of color throughout. What can I say, my husband and I both love color in the home and think a kids room shoud be fun and youthful!
El Capitan print: www.scribbleoneverything.com with customized colors.
Keep Calm and Lucha On: Lavita Petite, she also came up with the storyboard for us, and can be seen at www.lavitapetite.wordpress.com

Love the name Kahlo, and love the luchador theme. So original!
This is adorable!
LOVE this!
One of my favorite rooms ever. So beautiful, and yet hilarious. But the best part is the picture of great-grandma.
ha! love it!!!
Ooh, this is awesome! And I'm sure my Mexican husband would so love it too. Bookmarking to show him.
"Keep calm and lucha on!"
Love, love, love the rugs stitched together with the bright red thread!
I love it! So creative.
Wow, this is a very original idea that I might steal... LOL
very fun! do you mind sharing where the bedding is from? hard to find different white bedding options!
Thanks for the comments everyone, we loooove Kahlo's room and hope that we can keep certain pieces to transition to his big boy room one day :)
@ Jamieson: We were inspired by another 'ohdeedoh' nursery tour for the rugs, unfortunately I can't think of it right now :/
@ek7, thank you1 I love your comment :"so beautiful, yet hilarious"
@abby1116 They are all seperate pieces, I just bought a couple white fitted sheets from target and the white bumper is from babies r' us.
hey all! i am Erika's friend who helped her design the room. If you want to see more on the process and how this room went to concept board, go here:
Love the paint color, what is it?
Bravo! This is one of the best rooms ever! Great job!!! I love it Mucho Mucho ♥
This may be the most awesome kids room ever! Seriously, I mean, really, most awesome!
btw, tesoros on south congress in austin has alot of luchadores stuff.
Definitely Super Cool! My son is also a Kahlo that's starting kindergarten soon, and he would still love this room at 5! (And just wondering what other Mexicentric names you considered...)
Thanks for all the great comments!
@spy_pond sorry I can't remember the color :(
@giovanna, I love tesoros!
and @angelaflores that's crazy I can't believe someone else used that named.. after Frida right?? We didn't consider any other names, we knew we wanted this before we even found out we were having a boy.. our daughters name is Luna.
So original and just plain COOL! Love everything, well done. Would you mind sharing the make of the crib?
Thanks!!! @NataliPD, the crib is from ikea, the gulliver, but sadlyI think they have a hold on selling the cribs right now :/
Excellent, thank you! I was hoping it was, looks great! Thankfully we have several months before we're due so hopefully they'll be back in stock by then:).
Yep, your son is the only other Kahlo I've heard of! My son was named after Frida Kahlo & my daughter was named after Selena Quinanilla-Perez (which actually is not that common here in GA:) Luna is cute! Kahlo is so uncommon though he answers to Carlo, Carlos, and KAY-Lo! LOL

TEAMS: Cincinnati Reds, Boston Red Sox, Tampa Bay Rays, Washington Nationals, Detroit Tigers
Brandon Phillips has registered at least 587 plate appearances in each of his seven full season, all with Cincinnati. In those seven years he's batted over .276 just three times. Two of those times have come in the last two years.In 2007 Phillips was a 30/30 player. In 2008 and 2009 he was a 20/20 player. In the last three seasons he's failed to reach 20 homers or 20 steals even once. While Phillips is clearly declining — he'll be 32 this June — he's actually reinvented himself over these last two seasons and become a more balanced hitter.His strikeout rate has sat around 12.5% over the last three seasons after hovering around 15.5% in his first three, and his line drive rates in 2011 and 2012 (19.8% and 20.6%, respectively) were the two best of his career. Better strikeout rates and higher line drives generally yield better batting averages, and Phillips' .294 and .290 xBAs in '11 and '12 only serve to reinforce this logic.It should be noted that Phillips had a career high 40.6% O-...

Logan, UT (Sports Network) - Jarred Shaw scored 24 points and pulled down eight rebounds as the Utah State Aggies held on to defeat the Aggies of New Mexico State, 73-69, in Western Athletic Conference action at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.
Also scoring in double figures for USU (18-6, 9-5 WAC) was Spencer Butterfield who dropped in 17 points to go along with six rebounds and five assists as the team won for the fourth time in five tries.
New Mexico State (18-9, 12-3) was paced by Remi Barry with his 15 points off the bench, followed by Bandja Sy with 12 and Terrel deRouen and Daniel Mullings with 11 points apiece as the loss snapped NMSU's 12-game win streak.
Utah State scored the first points of the night and ended up leading by as many as 14 points with just over 13 minutes to play in the first half. The hosts connected on 53.6 percent from the floor in the frame, en route to a 40-37 edge at the break.
In the second half NMSU shot just 37.9 percent from the field, yet the visitors still made things interesting down the stretch before suffering the four-point loss.
The visiting Aggies scored 25 second-chance points thanks to 17 offensive rebounds, but the team shot only 4-of-15 beyond the arc on the night.

Leeroy Jenkins' infamous blunders in WoW made into a short film about a bank heist
Sure, the original World of Warcraft meme that netted 31 million views and prompted Blizzard to create an in-game achievement for recreating Leeroy Jenkins' horrible behavior is over five years old at this point. But this new short film takes a fresh spin on the events--reimagining them as a real-life bank heist. We all know what's coming, but the video still made me laugh and I hope it does the same for you.
P.S. I'm going to assume that those hot dogs are made out of chicken, otherwise OMG THEY TOTALLY IGNORED THE LORE, COME ON!

cell dose are confounded in that only young children are capable of receiving high cell doses. For example, Table G-4 reveals that only 2 percent of the high cell doses were transplanted into patients over 16 years of age. Since cell dose is expressed as TNC/kg, presumably there are few units that have sufficient numbers of cells to yield ratios above 5 × 107 TNC/kg for adults. Research into the viability of combining multiple units for a single transplant should be investigated. Finally, analysis of larger datasets with larger cell volumes and greater numbers of perfectly matched recipients is needed to confirm these preliminary results.

Restraint is often the best course of action when the facts are not fully known, as is the case with the APS cheating scandal. Yes, cheating occurred.
But who cheated and how is still unclear, but will likely be detailed in the criminal prosecutions to come. Until then, we ought to be careful before we condemn or defend anyone.
That's why I think the Concerned Black Clergy protest Monday was premature. The group wants to meet with Fulton County DA Paul Howard to express its concerns that educators may be prosecuted and sent to jail for their roles in the cheating scandal.
But before the women and men of the cloth jump to anyone's defense, they ought to wait for all the facts.
There may be teachers or administrators whose conduct was so egregious and such a disservice to the children of Atlanta that they deserve rebuke. There may be others whose behaviors fall into a gray area, the "remember what we learned about fractions" sort of comments that register somewhere between prodding and cheating.
I am not sure what is a fair punishment for educators who cheated on the CRCT. The Concerned Black Clergy called for suspensions, which seems rather lenient in view of the seriousness of advancing children who were not ready for the next grade and who never received needed remediation because their answer sheets were doctored.
Concerned Black Clergy President Rev. Richard Cobble told CBS Atlanta that the CRCT investigation smacked of racism, explaining, "Cheating on tests is one of the means in which the system designed to keep us unfocused, to keep us distracted and keep us at each other throats."
I am not sure why the clergy members are worried about the adults in this situation, all of whom are old enough to understand the immorality and the illegality of cheating on high-stakes testing. To paraphrase Rev. Cobble a bit, cheating is one of the means in which the system keeps children under educated and unable to compete and ultimately robs them of a quality education.
Lest we forget, the children are the victims here.

"Cheating on tests is one of the means in which the system designed to keep us unfocused, to keep us distracted and keep us at each other throats."
Grammer aside, what the hell does this comment even MEAN? Is this just another way of saying, "whitey's keeping the black man down"? Maybe PBM can break it down for me…
And where does the "Concerned White Clergy" stand on this issue?

"the seriousness of advancing children who were not ready for the next grade and who never received needed remediation"
Sorry, I have to laugh. Even if the students fail the CRCT, the AJC's own data show they will overwhelmingly be passed to the next grade anyway.
And even if they pass the CRCT, the cut scores are set so low that a student could be working as much as 3-4 years below grade level – but if s/he passes, no one will see the "need" for retention or remediation. (i.e., in my opinion, perhaps "cheating" in setting the cut scores is an even bigger scandal.)
Cheating on the tests is wrong, and teaching children to cheat on the tests is wrong, but everyone from the GaDOE on down is forgetting the true victims, and the true victims are statewide, not just in APS.

Amen, ScienceTeacher, amen! Thank you for pointing this out. I have had to LOL at those who have been wringing their hands on this–that the kids have suffered. They lost out on some taxpayer-paid summer school. But let's not fool ourselves that they would have gotten any significant remediation. If a child can't pass the CRCT, with its low bar, a few weeks of remediation won't solve anything. Even manipulating the summer test administration (as I am certain has been done in the past with either easier questions or lower cut scores) does not benefit the child in any meaningful way.How about this: we have certain standards and skills a student MUST master in order to go to the next grade. NO EXCEPTIONS except for self-contained SPED. THEN watch the CBC howl (along with hundreds of thousands of parents, I might add). But you know, in a couple of years we would find that most kids are succeeding because they have mastered the basic skills.

Speaking of the true victums, Maureen, please ask the DeKalb County School System for a list of stolen computer equipment this calendar year, especially the recent thefts at Henderson Middle. It's the student body who suffers when their is rampant theft. And what's even worse, it seems like much of the theft at DeKalb schools are "inside jobs".

The "concerned black clergy" could probably use a few lessons in economics. Why do they not protest the extremely high salaries of these dept head/supers such as Bev "CupCake" Hall. She was paid I belive $344K while a US Senator received I beleive approx $175.
No way these APS failures are worth more than our DC failures.
More money for education is not the answer because the crooks siphon every dime before it ever reaches down to the kids.

I am frankly embarassed by the grandstanding of most of these n'er do well clergy always in search for a camera. I would rather them call for a full and expedious investigation into this system that allows for the miseducation of black youth and the proliferation of black parents who are in need of some extremely parenting skills. Frankly, if they want to denounce or actually be concerned about something. Address the accountablility of the familes in educating their own children and the supplemental responsiblity of the schools themselves.
December 7th, 2010
8:42 am
Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a sad state of affairs…..these "Concerned Black Clergy" are actually part of the problem in the City of Atlanta, The APS and more. The only thing they're concerned with is hollering "Racism" whenever the situation becomes such that it is casting a not so favorable eye toward their "Black Brethern". They need to start directing their criticism to the parents who have children in the APS about their non-involvement with their children's education. They're blaming others (which has always been the case) for their own shortcomings.
December 7th, 2010
9:04 am
The Concerned Black Clergy is absolutely wrong. Cheating is wrong. The CBC should be supporting the DA in getting to the bottom of this scandal. They should be a staunch supporter for doing the right thing and showing all the students the consequences of actions. The worst victims in this whole cheating debacle are the APS students. No wonder we are so behind.
December 7th, 2010
9:38 am
@Concernedblackman, You mention needed parenting skills. APS has just openned the Parents as Partners Academic Center's (PAPAC) at the under utilized Kennedy Middle School. APS is now in the parenting business. That may not be a bad thing, but who is paying for this center that is taking up class room space? Are Atlanta tax payers on the hook? Are these federal Title 1 funds that are still tax payer paid?
Here is an APS PR bit on the center. https://talkupaps.wordpress.com/tag/kennedy-middle-school/

Please, can someone please make the "Concerned Clergy" stop talking. I hung my head in complete and utter shame as I listened to their comments last night. I'm an African American APS parent and they do not speak for me or any other parent or teacher I know.
While children are being promoted from grade to grade without being able to read or add, while teachers and administrators are knowingly "helping" aka CHEATING with/for students on standardized tests, while parents are still depending on the AJC and bloggers to give us any and all information about this scandal because our principals can't (left in the dark) or won't (too afraid to speak)….while all this is happening, they choose to speak out to defend the teachers and use race as their leverage?
Shame. Shame. Shame. Please Concerned Black Clergy, go back to your meeting rooms and church basements and fight another fight. You're jumping into the deep end and it's not a good look.

I wish the clergy would show the same amount of concern in regards to the black illigetimacy rate. These kids have managed to ruin most of the schools in APS, and are forcing us to send our kids to private school to escape them.
December 7th, 2010
12:03 pm
@concernedblackman: Thank you for the brilliant turn of phrase: "the supplemental responsibility of the schools." Dead-on correct.
Parents are solely responsible for managing the 15-20 year project that is their child's education.
You don't delegate this job to anyone else. You allow the school system to do part of the job for you, under your constant supervision and oversight.
It's the "oversight" part that drives school administrators (and some teachers) crazy. They think of the school as theirs to manage as they see fit, but the school is not there to exist as a cluster of comfortable middle-class jobs; it's there to serve children, and since we are our childrens' proxies, it's there to serve us.
Oversight of EVERYTHING that goes on in the school is our proper and necessary role.
How you handle that oversight does matter. I feel we owe it to teachers and admins to be as respectful as possible, but we owe it to our children to be as forceful as necessary.
Some might say we elect BOEs to do the oversight for us. To that, I say this: have you MET our APS board?
To get back on the thread topic: CBC, STFU. You're embarrassing everyone who believes in God.

It sounds as though this Concerned Black Clergy is a gang of trouble-making parasites of the Jesse Jackson – Al Sharpton stripe. They appear to be trying to frame the CRCT cheating investigation as racist persecution. This pattern for crafting a hoax is well-established and easily recognized. It's the same technique used to make Tawana Brawley seem the victim of racist violence, when, it turned out, the violence was self-inflicted. It's the same method that Crystal Mangum employed to frame the white lacrosse players from Duke University for rapes that never really happened.

Fellow APS parents, please see this video
APS employees are in the business of teaching parents how to manage money and get their utilities back on. Does these seem odd?
They even have a career center for parents.

Maureen – I'm a God fearing christian and for the most part, have the utmost respect for preachers. However, the Concerned Black Clergy (CBC) are sadly misinformed and just plain wrong in their stance on the CRCT Cheating Investigation. At yesterday's press conference, they looked like a bunch of irrelevant, sideshow opportunist with the sole purpose of increasing their church membership. Where was the CBC's outcry when those thugs shot up a car with an AK47, killing one person and injuring a woman and her small kid?
My message to the CBC:
1. Keep your noses out of this cheating investigation. Most black people ( including me) & white people, wholeheartedly support Governor Perdue and the investigators in their efforts to get to the truth.
2. It's a FACT that many employees (current & former) and students have suffered emotionally & financially because of Beverly Hall's mean spirited, corrupt administration at APS.
3. Most of us would like to see Beverly Hall, her top administrators, and the cheaters go to jail, period!
4. If you're so concerned about APS, come down here to the central office and demand the termination of Beverly Hall, Penn Payne, Chuck Burbridge, Nader Sohrab, Kathy Augustine, Sharon Pitts, Veleter Majek, Millicent Few, and those rogue managers in Finance immediately. Demand that they explain its selection process for the current Deputy CFO, Grants Manager, Accounting Manager, Accounting Supervisors, Treasury Director, and a few other overpaid, worthless managers.
5. Talk to some of the current & former employees and let them tell you how APS has become a living hell under Beverly Hall.
6. Stop holding worthless photo shoots & press conferences. It makes you look bad, you lose all credibility and it will decrease your church's membership roll.
7. Channel your energies into cleaning up our (Blacks) neighborhoods of these bad talking, bad looking, pants sagging thugs that terrorize our homes & families on a daily basis.
8. Set up a mentoring or tutoring program in your churches for APS students so that they won't have to cheat in the first place.
9. Declare war on these no good parents who neglect their own kids and do absolutely nothing to help them master basic academic skills.
10. Read all 9 of my suggestions 10 times until you "GET IT".

Just checked the GA Sunshine Disclosure website and the Parent Coordinator at this PAPAC center made $72,617.18 in 2009.
@Springdale, where are you? what is your take on this?
December 7th, 2010
12:58 pm
@APS Parent: the Parents as Partners thing is definitely needed, only it should be done in church, not in our publicly funded schools, and the CBC should be organizing and running it, instead of running their mouths.
We need better parents in the system, to be sure, but it's not my job to pay for their remedial training.
December 7th, 2010
1:06 pm
@Springdale, thank you for your perspective. Put that PAPAC center in a CBC and not at Kennedy. Inman Middle is so overcrowded and many of the zoned students can almost walk to Kennedy Middle. Get that Parents Center out of the school and redistrict those kids back to Kennedy, don't you agree?

This subject is a total embarrassment to all tax paying citizens in the city of Atlanta—APS—Under an umbrella of leadership directed by Superintendent, Beverly Hall- Atlanta Public Schools has more to hide than just cheating on standardized tests. Everything and everyone needs to be scrutinized carefully to make sure these unprofessional leaders are held responsible for their actions. They do not need to leave their posts with dignity. It is impossible to justify any support for their psychopathic, self-righteous administrative attitudes. How many additional corrupt administrators will be left in the upper ranks in decision making positions to "carry on" with business as usual in APS. Beverly Hall's resignation will not cleanse this den of inequity.

The internal voice to "do the right thing" has slowly died in our society. When cameras, video-tapes, and tape-recorders are the only means of regulating the illegal vile actions of the human race our society is doomed to fail. We must make sure as parents and teachers the internal voice of honesty and ethics is never erased. It is the "saving grace" of hope for a better future.

I worked for a neighboring school system and suspected that cheating had been going on for years. Students would move into our school district from APS, have tremendously high scores, but couldn't read. I presented the information to our state senator. Here it is 15 years later and something is finally being done about it.

Go Sarvis!
Kate Milani has always had a pro GOP bias. That's her right as an employee of the Washington Times but that's not objective journalism. Is this an exam of main stream media bias that the Times complains about or extreme media bias? Go figure.
The key point is that in July polls by Roanoke (way off in 2012 Presidential polling in favor of Romney) Cuccinelli was up by 6% and now he is down by 2% – that's an 8% shif away from Cucinelli and towards McAuliffet. That's the real headline.
Mea culpa! I meant to write Wall Street Journal, not the Washington Times. Sorry Times!
Well Virginia, it looks like you have a choice to make.
Should you go with the liar? A guy who says he is going to build cars, lots of cars AND everyone is going to love him? ….(he meant, them) but then somehow mysteriously walks away with bulging pockets. Whooops. No cars. No jobs (that were promised in Mississippi? I like yall in Ms so much i'm glad the shyster (ooops. Oh heck. Already called the crook a liar. That cat ain't in the bag no more.) Couldn't make it in Ms. We would rather get this laundry squeezed and cleaned and dried out in house. Oh and how about his being the doorman for the Lincoln bedroom 'sleepovers' (wink wink)? Don't forget about he's all into the carbon tax garbage. AND he thinks ob(don't)care is the greatest thing since a serpent spoke to Eve.
Next up? Mr. Sarvis.
Mr. Sarvis, I like you. I just can't stomach that liberta business you are talking about. Folks if you want the same problems that California and New Mexico and Washington and Colorado are having? Go ahead and vote for Mr. Sarvis.
If you see the government as a "necessary evil" and desire to keep it from becoming overbearing and socialistic and marxist, that would steer you from BOTH Mcauliffe and Sarvis.
Mr. Cuccinelli fits the bill.

It Happened to Me! Babyproofing and Parenting Mishaps
Babyproofing Blunders
Most parents start babyproofing their homes around the time their first child starts crawling. They plug the electrical outlets, lock up the cleaning supplies, and put a baby gate on the staircase. Once their little adventurer morphs into a full-fledged toddler, devices like toilet lid locks, coffee table bumpers, and childproof door handle covers appear. Some parents even employ professional babyproofers—experts who identify problem areas in your home and fix them for a consulting fee.
Thanks to bike helmets, five-point-harness car seats, and motion detection alarms in swimming pools, today's kids are safer than ever before. And that's great news. But here's a reality check: Unless you encase your entire home in bubble wrap and hire a team of bodyguards to watch your child 24 hours a day, it is 100 percent certain your youngster will manage to hurt himself in ways you never imagined. The following real parent confessions remind parents that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Visual Storytelling - Part 2
In film, every movie has a production designer – one artist (and these people are genius level, let me tell you) who is responsible, in consultation with the director and with the help of sometimes a whole army of production artists) for the entire look of the film – every color, costume, prop, set choice.
With a book, guess who's the production designer? YOU are.
As it happens, Michael brought home the anniversary edition of the ALIEN series recently. I could go on all week about what a perfect movie the first ALIEN is structurally as well, but for today - it's a perfect example of brilliant production design – the visual image systems are staggering.
Take a look at those sets (created by Swiss surrealist HR Giger). What do you see? Sexual imagery EVERYWHERE. Insect imagery – a classic for horror movies. Machine imagery. Anatomical imagery – the spaceships have very human-looking spines (vertebrae and all), intestinal-looking piping, vulvic doors. And the gorgeous perversity of the design is that the look of the film combines the sexual and the insectoid, the anatomical with the mechanical, throws in some reptilian, serpentine, sea-monsterish under-the-sea-effects – to create a hellish vision that is as much a character in the film as any of the character characters.
Oh, and did I mention the labyrinth imagery? Yes, once again, my great favorite – you've got a monster in a maze.
Those are very specific choices and combinations. The sexual imagery and water imagery opens us up on a subconscious level and makes us vulnerable to the horrors of insects, machines and death. It also gives us a clear visual picture of a future world in which machines and humans have evolved together into a new species. It's unique, gorgeous, and powerfully effective.
Obviously TERMINATOR (the first) is a brilliant use of machine/insect imagery as well.
I know I've just about worked these examples to death, but nobody does image systems better than Thomas Harris. SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and RED DRAGON are serial killer novels, but Harris elevates that overworked genre to art, in no small part due to his image systems.
In SILENCE, Harris borrows heavily from myth and especially fairy tales. You've got the labyrinth/Minotaur. You've got a monster in a cage, a troll holding a girl in a pit (and that girl is a princess, remember – her mother is American royalty, a senator). You've got a twist on the "lowly peasant boy rescues the princess with the help of supernatural allies" fairy tale – Clarice is the lowly peasant who enlists the help of (one might also say apprentices to) Lecter's wizardlike perceptions to rescue the princess. You have a twisted wizard in his cave who is trying to turn himself into a woman.
You have the insect imagery here as well, with the moths, the spiders and mice in the storage unit, and the entomologists with their insect collections in the museum, the theme of change, larva to butterfly.
In RED DRAGON Harris works the animal imagery to powerful effect. The killer is not a mere man, he's a beast. When he's born he's compared to a bat because of his cleft palate. He kills on a moon cycle, like a werewolf. He uses his grandmother's false teeth, like a vampire. And let's not forget – he's trying to turn into a dragon.
Now, a lot of authors will just throw in random scary images. How boring and meaningless! What makes what Harris does so effective is that he has an intricate, but extremely specific and limited image system going in his books. And he combines fantastical visual and thematic imagery with very realistic and accurate police procedure.
I know, all of these examples are horror, sorry, it's my thing - but look at THE WIZARD OF OZ (just the brilliant contrast of the black and white world of Kansas and the Technicolor world of Oz says volumes). Look at what Barbara Kingsolver does in PRODIGAL SUMMER, where images of fecundity and the, well, prodigiousness of nature overflow off the pages, revealing characters and conflicts and themes. Look at what Robert Towne/Roman Polanski do with water in CHINATOWN, and also - try watching that movie sometime with Oedipus in mind… the very specific parallels will blow you away.
So how do you create a visual/thematic image system in your books?
Well, start by becoming more conscious of what image systems authors are working with in books and films that YOU love. Some readers/writers don't care at all about visual image systems. That's fine – whatever floats your boat. Me, with rare exceptions, I'll toss a book within twenty pages if I don't think the author knows what s/he's doing visually.
What I do when I start a project, along with outlining, is to keep a list of thematic words that convey what my story is about, to me. For THE HARROWING it was words like: Creation, chaos, abyss, fire, forsaken, shattered, shattering, portal, door, gateway, vessel, empty, void, rage, fury, cast off, forgotten, abandoned, alone, rejected, neglected, shards, discarded… pages and pages like that.
For THE PRICE – bargain, price, deal, winter, ice, buried, dormant, resurrection, apple, temptation, tree, garden, labyrinth, Sleeping Beauty, castle, queen, princess, prince, king, wish, grant, deal, contract, task, hell, purgatory, descent, mirror, Rumpelstiltskin, spiral…
Some words I'll have from the very beginning because they're part of my own thematic DNA. But as the word lists grow, so does my understanding of the inherent themes of each particular story.
Do you see how that might start to work? Not only do you get a sense of how the story can look to convey your themes, but you also have a growing list of specific words that you can work with in your prose so that you're constantly hitting those themes on different levels.
At the same time that I'm doing my word lists, I start a collage book, and try to spend some time every week flipping through magazines and pulling photos that resonate with my story. I find Vogue, the Italian fashion mags, Vanity Fair, Premiere, Rolling Stone and of course, National Geographic particularly good for me. I tape those photos together in a blank artists' sketchbook (I use tape so I can move the photos around when I feel like it. If you're more – well, if you're neater than I am, you can also use plastic sleeves in a three-ring binder). It's another way of growing an image system. Also, it doesn't feel like writing so you think you're getting away with something.
Also, know your world myths and fairy tales! Why make up your own backstory and characters when you can tap into universally powerful archetypes? Remember, there's no new story under the sun, so being conscious of your antecedents can help you bring out the archetypal power of the characters and themes you're working with. (I'm going to be talking more about fairy tale and mythic imagery very soon.)
So help me out here with some non-horror examples (horror examples are just fine, too). What books to you have particularly striking visual and thematic image systems? What are some of your favorite images to work with?

Hi Alex,
I'm loving your series on story structure. Great work! I remember looking through your image collages at SCWC in San Diego, and thinking, best take home tip of the conference.
Recently I've discovered the "Circa" / "Rollabind" system for creating and organizing journal entries, story research, and magazine clippings, and I wanted to pass along a few links in case this method is of interest to you.
A unique hole-punch in combination with button-sized wooden or plastic discs forms the basis of the system, and gives you the versatility of tape + sketchbook (without the tape)--plus the ability to mix and match *any* writing paper, note cards, magazine cutouts, or even fabric *together* in ONE custom notebook. You can also remove and rearrange the "pages" without having to manipulate any mechanical loops or springs like you do when using a binder.

I've also had luck finding pre-punched paper and notebook covers in my local Staples office supply store.
Hope you or your readers find this useful. I really enjoyed THE PRICE by the way.

Great info as always. I don't focus as much on constant visuals, but I love the idea of a theme running through. Best example I can think of is the rive in Joseph Conrad's HEART OF DARKNESS (which became Apocalypse Now). Marlow follows the river deeper and deeper into center of the congo to find Kurtz, which can be both the labrynth/monster and also the archetypal flowing river showing the relentless march of progress, like Imperialism and the Ivory trade marching right over the backs of the indigenous people there.
I also think Barry Eisler does a good job of creating the "seedy underbelly", the idea of the Morlock's machinistic world beneath the unsuspecting Eloi of TIME TRAVELER, in each of his novels, as Rain goes into the depths of Tokyo, Thailand, China. This is especially true when he points out that the Sky train in Thailand will eventually add shops and such, and create a "new shining city" built right on top of the old, decaying one.

Hey Jeremy - how's it going?
That looks like a fantastic stationery system for collaging. Intimidating! but I'll check it out. I'm just starting a new book so it's good timing, thank you.
- Alexandra Sokoloff said...
Oh, yeah, rivers! They're often not just part of the image system but a whole story world. I love rafting so I know one of these days I'm going to do a river story.
I like the way you describe Eisler's seedy underbelly. A world under a world is one of my favorite thematic structures. Loved that in PAN'S LABYRINTH.

Geez, Alex, you make me want to go back and re-write my whole book (my first novel, Freezer Burn, is being published by Echelon Press). I read books as if I'm watching a movie, so I understand the visual part of writing. That's what I wrote, a book that I could view, but any symbols or common phrases, etc, seemed to come organically and not due to any thought process.
As far as what I read, I'm so all over the map, but I'm especially drawn to:
1. The sunny boulevards of Dean Koontz's Orange County locations - I feel they serve as both an escape and a predator's map. Am I running away from danger, or towards it?
2. Steinbeck's Cannery Row. The first sentence knocks me out, (... is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream) The rest of the book takes each one of those words and demonstrates it in the place and people.
3. I'm still a sucker for Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars series. The red skins of the people reflect the level of violence of the society, and the contrast of stark buildings with opulant fabrics shows me the yin and yang of their passions. And I'm pretty sure ERB wasn't thinking about that at all.
- Ace Antonio Hall said...
During downtime at the Greater Los Angeles Writers Society meeting, I thought of you and smiled.
Incredible guidance on structure...when the world caught me up with keeping a roof over my wife and kids heads-twenty years after intense study (1990 BA)...and twenty years of acting like I know what I'm talking about but really struggling to stay sharp, you come along. You have single-handedly (spell check please) helped me take my 7th rewrite of my manuscript into my 8th and craft it into something I can confidently say is complete (until the editors get to it).
Thanks, all the same...I'll be watching, reading and most importantly listening.
I agree, this should certanly be stuffed, packed and wrapped up in a beautiful visual called a book. U rock!

things you may want to know about andrea la rose...
I am a flutist and composer, who has been making waves in the New York music scene and beyond. My pride and joy since 2002 has been my work as a flutist/composer/board member with the punk-classical antagonists known as Anti-Social Music, most recently (late 2010) touring the Ukraine and contributing to an album of remixes of songwriter Franz Nicolay. I have also been musically involved with thingNY, baj, Lone Wolf Tribe, and Mohair Timewarp. Print and online publications from Chamber Music America, to New Music Connoisseur, to Dusted have said lovely things about my fluting and composing prowess. Funding for my musical endeavors have been generously provided by the American Music Center and Meet the Composer. Since August 2009, I has been contributing her talents as a middle school band director at the Franconian International School in Erlangen, Germany. When I am not making music in some fashion, I am quaffing beer or whipping up culinary magic in my kitchen.
"Prolific and an expert performer, she's bouncing among a dozen good ideas, and wherever she lands will doubtless cause merriment, consternation, insight, and possibly the End of Civilization As We Know It."

TimeA fascinating and timely book. . . . [Rutherford] details the long and persistent struggle of the judiciary to carve out an independent role for itself, even under a military dictatorship.
— Fareed Zakaria
Egypt's autocratic regime is being weakened by economic crises, growing political opposition, and the pressures of globalization. Observers now wonder which way Egypt will go when the country's aging president, Husni Mubarak, passes from the scene: will it embrace Western-style liberalism and democracy? Or will it become an Islamic theocracy similar to Iran? Egypt after Mubarak demonstrates that both secular and Islamist opponents of the regime are navigating a middle path that may result in a uniquely Islamic form of liberalism and, perhaps, democracy.
Bruce Rutherford examines the political and ideological battles that drive Egyptian politics and shape the prospects for democracy throughout the region. He argues that secularists and Islamists are converging around a reform agenda that supports key elements of liberalism, including constraints on state power, the rule of law, and protection of some civil and political rights. But will this deepening liberalism lead to democracy? And what can the United States do to see that it does? In answering these questions, Rutherford shows that Egypt's reformers are reluctant to expand the public's role in politics. This suggests that, while liberalism is likely to progress steadily in the future, democracy's advance will be slow and uneven.
Essential reading on a subject of global importance, Egypt after Mubarak draws upon in-depth interviews with Egyptian judges, lawyers, Islamic activists, politicians, and businesspeople. It also utilizes major court rulings, political documents of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the writings of Egypt's leading contemporary Islamic thinkers.
"[Readers will] be rewarded by Rutherford's ambitious effort to explain how significant political actors, specifically, the Muslim Brotherhood, the judiciary, and the business sector, can work in parallel, if not exactly together, to influence the country's trajectory over time. This is a novel approach to analyzing Egyptian politics."—Steven A. Cook, Foreign Affairs
"Bruce Rutherford thoroughly analyzes the dynamics and personalities of Egyptian politics and the prospects for Egypt once its pro-Western president, Hosni Mubarak, passes on."—Sheldon Kirschner, Canadian Jewish News
"[Egypt after Mubarak] clearly offers both an insightful account of Egyptian politics and a potentially fruitful framework for future comparative research on political change in the Arab world."—Waleed Hazbun, Perspectives on Politics
"The author defends his position through a meticulous and detailed analysis of related first- and second-hand sources. The high level of detail makes the book especially attractive to readers who are familiar with modern Egyptian history and politics, and readers will find invaluable information and debates regarding the dynamic history of Egypt's legal, political and economic institutions."—Burak Ozcetin, Political Studies Review

This board was not constructed very well
Best Uses
Comments about Staples Cork Bulletin Board, Aluminum Frame, 6' x 4':
WE had to reinforce the frame. It was already the 2nd board that we bought. The first one had the same problem. The only reason we kept the 2nd one was because the manager gave us 60 dollars off. We had to put screws through the frame just to keep it together. Once we did that the hanging part went ok.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Topic - Clothing for big wall in Peru
JM - on 30 Jul 2012
Hi all, I am going to do a big wall in Peru in September (Original Route on the Sphinx) and was wondering what the best clothing to take up would be? We are going to start in the dark so it could be quite cold to start with but could be warm in the middle of the day so I am thinking layers is the best option. I was wondering whether people thought combining a Gore-tex jacket with a wind proof soft shell, a thin fleece and baselayer was a good option or whether it is best to take a light weight prima-loft jacket instead of the soft shell? I was going to also pack my down jacket in the climbing sack in case we get stranded on top before the descent.

Movie Log 2013
16. Academy Award-Nominated Live Action Shorts (IFC Center)
16a. Death of a Shadow (dir. Tom Van Avermaet)
Matthias Schoenarts plays a dead soldier who photographs people dying (he only sees them as shadows unless he's using his magic camera) and then delivering them to a dude who evaluates the deaths aesthetically and posts them on a wall. Yeah. They don't quite do enough with the concept for my tastes, though, and it kind of boils down to some pretty boring romance.
16b. Henry (dir. Yan England)
A thriller about an aging pianist for about 5 minutes, and then the allegory kicks in heavy. This sits about halfway between genuinely touching and way cloying (the score, as is often the case, doesn't help).
16c. Curfew (dir. Shawn Christensen)
I'm kinda convinced that this dude is straight doing a Ryan Gosling accent, because the Ryan Gosling accent is, famously, a made up accent, right? I liked Curfew least out of these five; it's about a suicidal junkie and his chipper niece and the madly-shifting tone doesn't work for me.
16d. Buzkashi Boys (dir. Sam French)
Gorgeous desaturated photography of Kabul here. The story involves two young boys' dream (a very local dream, mind you) of being a Buzkashi rider (that's that sport that was in the news for a while when we invaded Afghanistan; it involves a goat carcass). It balances the sadness of an economic reality in which most young men's dreams are unrealistic with an acknowledgement of the dignity of labor. This was my fav of the bunch.
16e. Asad (dir. Bryan Buckley)
Asadmanages to balance some slight whimsy with the horrors of war-torn Somalia. It's good.

Louisville Water Competes for the Title of Best Tasting Tap Water in North America
Monday June 10, 2013
Louisville Water Company and its already award-winning pure tap® will compete for the second time in five years for the title of "Best Tasting Tap Water in North America,"
sponsored by the American Water Works Association and including 20 water utilities from across the nation.
The announcement will be made on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at 6:00 pm from Denver, Colorado as part of the American Water Works Association's Annual Conference and Exposition.
A panel of water experts and consumers will examine, sniff and taste samples
of water to declare the "Best of the Best" winner. Attendees at the conference will sample to name the "People's Choice" for tap water.
Louisville's pure tap® won the national title in 2008 and won a regional competition with other utilities in Kentucky and Tennessee in 2012 to make it back to the national finals.
Louisville Water is honored to be recognized for its outstanding quality and taste, which has always been a priority. In the early 1900s, the company employed a "chief taster" to sample the water 40 times before it went to customers. Today, Louisville Water still has a taste test panel and sampling the product is one of 200 tests that scientists perform daily on the drinking water supply.
In 1996, Louisville Water was the first utility in the nation to trademark tap water in an effort to promote the quality, value and innovation behind something most people take for granted. Today, the Louisville pure tap® campaign provides reusable bottles, cups, pitchers and a mobile water unit to over 800 organizations each year to stress the value of a high-quality drinking water supply.
In addition, the pure tap® campaign has developed education programs and curricula and has spawned a number of successful educational partnerships with the Jefferson County Public Schools, the Archdiocese of Louisville, the Kentucky Science Center and Frazier History Museum.

Dear Barbara: It's summer and I have been hearing quite a bit about grilled fruit, but I have never done that. What fruit grills up the best and how do I do it? Thanks for any tips.
