A young adult at Yahoo! Answers, who was homeschooled, is having trouble finding her way. She asked this question:
I was homeschooled from 7th grade on. 7ths and 8th grade my mom did with my brother and I. Highschool we did on our own, it was from Harcourt Learning Direct (used to be ICS, and Thompson Education Direct). I didn't really understand anything because I hate reading so I just skipped to the tests at the end, almost flunked on Math but I cheated from my brothers books so I would …

Chelsea Link says this about her extraordinary, yet relaxed, life: "I think I've had a pretty normal high school experience . . . just without the high school."
Another interesting quote by Christopher Watson, admissions dean at Northwestern, "We haven't changed the way we review applications, but the way home-schoolers are submitting applications has changed," he said. "They've become very good at taking out the question marks."
Perhaps it's a combination of the two? Northwestern may not have changed it's admissions process, but other universities have.
Congratulations Chelsea! Reading science magazines and …

I don't usually think too hard about my kids' getting into college or being prepared for a career. When the time comes, it'll work out.
I am confident in this because of the realities of American opportunities, and because of knowing many people who have found success non-traditionally. In fact, I know very few people besides myself and my graduate school friends who took the traditional route to their success.
My dad, for example, dropped out of college to go into the military, and owned a business for 20 years. At age …

My husband reads Metafilter like my dad used to read the paper. Today, my husband forwarded this link to me.
I am unmeasurably impressed by the discourse that followed after the initial question: Should my friend, who was homeschooled in a fundamentally Christian home, mention his GED on his college application? And how can he get a job?
This conversation could have gone in so many directions. The fine folks at Metafilter, chose to post clear, helpful and supportive responses.
Kudos to the responders at Metafilter!

MIT has had its college level open courseware available for a while. Now, they are introducing a new set of online self-paced courses for the high schooler, or adults who would like to brush up on high-school level material.

This encouraging article suggests that universities are truly starting to recognize the strengths of homeschoolers.
This quote is what really sold me on the idea that yes, universities understand where homeschoolers are coming from, and why they are such strong candidates:
It occurred to [Russell Jamison, dean of the engineering school] that home-schoolers' inquisitive, self-directed learning style — an educational model that often gets lost in the highly structured "problem-set oriented" environment of traditional high schools, he says — was particularly well suited to engineering. The school holds an annual open house for home-schoolers …

MIT started the inevitable trend. Now, iTunes is jumping on the bandwagon. (If you have iTunes, just go to the iTunes store in the program, and select iTunes U.)
The iTunes classes are great for the visual and audio learner. Some are podcasts, others are videos of lectures.
Personally, these vids put me to sleep. Give me a book and a good conversation w/a pro over coffee. But hubby, when he saw this iTunes selection, he nearly lost it. "OMG, this is AWESOME!"

Should the goal be for kids to do well in school, or to do well in life? What if they are doing well in school, but have no life? What if they are doing well in life, but don't do well with school work?
What would it be like if there was no such thing as "success" or "failure" in school? What if school was purely to give kids knowledge and understanding, at whatever level they would like, and the students got to decide what that takeaway would be?
What if grades …

This commentary about David Albert's book brings up interesting insight on preparedness for college.
It suddenly clicked. The home-schooled child is ready for college. They've (parents) spent a life-time preparing them for it. We (homeschoolers) start now, instead of throwing them in same-aged groups force feeding curriculum down their throats. After a decade of school, we expect them (schooled kids) to arrive in college, excited, self-initiated, wildly excited to learn, passionate, innovative, creative and broad thinkers when we've spent their lifetime beating out every ounce of self-initiated learning out of them.
We, …

More than 500 people stormed the state Capitol this morning in support of a bill they say will protect young girls forced into prostitution.
The bill introduced by Sen. Renee Unterman (R-Buford), would steer girls under the age of 16 into diversionary programs instead of arresting them as prostitutes.
"This bill makes sure people are aware that young girls are victims," Unterman said. "A 12-year-old laying on her back don't know what sex is."
Unterman – who has championed the rights of young girls – said the bill has been around for at least two years. She said she revisited it because a plan is now in place to rehabilitate the young prostitutes. The age of consent in Georgia is 16.
Unterman said her bill would help create a system of care for the girls while educating the public and those who come in contact with the young girls. It would impact girls getting pimped out on the streets, as well as girls working in massage parlors.
"I don't think that children who are raped for profit should be prosecuted as criminals," said Elizabeth LeDuc, a pediatrician, who supports the bill. "We need to make sure kids under 16 will not be tried as prostitutes. Children sent to jail for prostitution are more likely to go back into the streets."
In Atlanta, trafficking and prostitution has emerged into a major problem. In 2002, for example, the FBI broke up a ring of 14 men pimping girls as young as 10.
In a report issued the following year, the bureau cited Atlanta as one of 14 U.S. cities with the highest rate of children being used for prostitution. Unterman said she plans to speak with Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed about the issue.
But there are several critics of the plan who feel that Unterman's bill will decriminalize prostitution.
At 2 p.m. Monday, several activists and conservative groups met on the steps of the Capitol to denounce the bill as promoting the decriminalization of prostitution.
"Never in our state's history has prostitution been legalized," said Sue Ella Deadwyler, publisher of Georgia Insight. "Arrest is a valuable life-saving tool that must be used. We need to hire more cops to arrest the prostitutes."
Deadwyler, said that she, and those who don't support the bill, believes that arrest is a better deterrent than a proposal for rehabilitation – no matter the age.
"Sure there are those who are forced into prostitution, but I think most of them volunteer," Deadwyler said of under 16-year-old prostitutes. "Many, many children have been scared straight because of arrest."

Man, these christian groups are getting tougher and tougher. Whatever happened to love, acceptance, and helping your fellow man? Throwing little girls in jail hasn't stopped prostitution, especially those that are coerced or forced into it. As long as there are provisions for repeat offenders, then I don't see a problem with the bill. As least they are trying to get them some help instead of just throwing them in jail where they won't get any help. Throw the johns and pimps in jail and get some help for these little children.

Just as a different thought: why can't this issue be left to the various district attorneys and juvenile judges in the areas where this is a problem. If I'm a DA or Juv. Judge and a child comes into my office or courtroom who has obviously been victimized by prostitution, do I not already have the leeway to choose to either prosecute a lesser crime (that a diversionary program can be the "punishment" for) or just sentence the prostitution to a diversionary program directly.
It would seem to me that we shouldn't need statute (which I support the spirit of whole-heartedly) to legislate the judicial temperament of our prosecutors and judges to tell who are the real victims of crime in our community, and punish them accordingly.

Ben, you make a good point. A 16 year old girl who is arrested does not go to jail. We have juvenile detention centers for that. It is then up to a juvenile judge to determine what the treatment of that child will be. The goal of the juvenile system is to help the child. It is a much different goal from that of the criminal courts.
Whether we treat these girls as "victims" or as "delinquent children," the goal should be the same. If it is not, then we have a more fundamental and broad-based problem with our juvenile system.

@Ben Prosecutorial//judicial discretion wouldn't remedy the problem: the fact that child prostitutes are being treated as criminals not victims. Allowing Prosecutorial discretion would likely result in disparate impacts. It will be a difficult task to gage whether a child is voluntarily prostituting? This is difficult with child victims of commercial sexual exploitation. In many cases, these children have a history of abuse and unfortunately, they trust their pimps more than anyone else. Child prostitutes are often reluctant to implicate their pimps so it will almost always appear to the DA that a child is doing this by his or her own volition.
Allowing child prostitution victims to be prosecuted is also inconsistent with Georgia law that defines the commercial sexual exploitation of children by any adult as child abuse. If these children are victims of child abuse, why are they being arrested and treated as criminals
We treat children trafficked internationally as victims but prosecute children who are forced into the world of commercial sexual exploitation right in our own backyards as criminals. GA is a hub for the commercial sexual exploitation of children, and we should remedy this problem by ensuring child prostitution victims receive servcies.
It is true that child prostitutes are treated through the juvenile system, but just like adults, children who enter the juvenile system often become repeat offenders because they are not provided the services they need.
Child prostitutes are not proctected right now because non-violent juvenile offenders are often released as soon as they are arrested. The State does not have enough resources to detain non-violent offenders and so child prostitutes are usually arrested and released WITHOUT GETTING HELP soon after police find them.
Treating them as victims will filter them into the same system of care as other children who are victims of child abuse because they would be considered deprived . Treating child victims of commercial sexual exploitation as such and not criminals is the only way to ensure these children get the support services they need!

I preface my statements by saying I am very much a Christian and understand the theological and theo-political arguments.
As much as I wish that vice laws were successful in deterring crime, they're just not. The problem with prostitution is the same as drugs. Tougher penalties has not put a dent in the problem. Especially, within the largest subsection of the population that breaks those laws, which is the middle and lower class. Both prostitution and drug addiction stem from the same core problem of poverty, which stems from lack of a healthy home structure and lack of education. Since we don't take poverty/parenting/education seriously, we cannot take drug crime and prostitution seriously. For every child or adult they pick up and throw in jail there are thousands to take their place. The prison system is designed to demoralize and punish those who commit these crimes, not to rehabilitate them. People go in 1st time offenders and come out 10 times worse than when they went in. There are countless scientific studies that support these facts, yet following them is the politically incorrect thing to do.

Who is this Deadwyler woman? She is obviously a nutcase. Virtually all of under 16 prostitutes have been sexually and/or physically abused and are forced into their lifestyle. These girls are CHILDREN and do not need prison time which will just put them back on the streets when they get out. They need help. As a Christian all I can say is…God deliver us from the radical so-called Christian right. They are anything but Christian. Do they honestly believe Christ would want these girls thrown in jail?

Working for a non profit organization that deals with the children that are being sexually abused on a daily basis and young girls that are at risk or are involved in the life of prostitution really strikes up the question of what is our society doing to help the cause? Whether you are investing time/money, an investment is necessary for some change to occur. Some form of protection for these young girls should be implemented because alot of them fall victims, into the hands of pimps. Based on the commercial exploited stats of the average entry age being 12 and 80% of the girls that are at risk of prostitution have been sexually abused should be alarming enough for the senators to get involved in this major issue, in which not only hits home, but also hits the schools… May this approved bill in Washington be one of the many answers to our families, case workers, therapists and other involved activist groups in favor of this issue in our community.

I am not sure but I know from being in prison myself and witnessing, seeing how the girls are hooked on drugs there, well, just the stuff that is handed to them by the morning and afternoon "medicines cart" by the nurse on staff duty those shifts. The girls….. it's sad. These are individual people with individual minds and creativity, and while I was only there briefly once……I saw the neglect widespread within the prison limits/ boundaries. The only thing in the cells were paper, poetry and the meals. They had to use the same socks for perhaps months, like 2 pair of socks. No other underwear was given out. ONE bike in the gymnasium, ballcourt, and one universal gym machine. This was awful. Yes they were safe, yes they were fed, some of them if not all women there had been abused or left to fend for their selves as young children. I met at least 5 or 6 of them in a college at a meeting one time. The girls said to me they are all fostered from home to home, and all of them are from abuse by a male figure in their family. They had only one thing to say to me, and it was " you are also abused by your father aren't you, " because when they said to tell them about my life, I COULDN'T >.. I froze. And yes it's true, I too was abused sexually. I pray for them and hope and think about how they are making due. I heard now after in their 40's some of them finally got apartments. It's really up to God to provide with things this deep as some go through. When we have governors that set up gambling to recycle other's money and use that for stabilized economic growth, or job counts, I see something wrong, all of our farms sold off, no real jobs anyplace for anyone in the entire state of Pa. If you aren't a professional and working as something that pays really well, you're bound to fail. I have not had any opportunity to get a great education for long. Paying back isn't the problem, it's just getting to school, AND paying rent that would be the problem, so now with my own children I am just for THEM. I don't have that luxury of a great paying job. I hope that some of these systems such as brokerage rapers, through insignificant taxes written off and raising up taxes from public utilities, and sales taxes are really looked at and the next time someone in local gov't politics decides to go and build something remarkable, that they just really see the damage for all the profiteering . THey are sinking the american dream which is really family. Family in our region love to have family businesses, and Governor Rendell, you should really be shamed for the casinos you spent good wholesome money on. What do you have to show for this? I just hope people can see hope and love even through such huge mistakes. We are just simple loving community people, all we really need are farms, homes, something to keep busy doing, and our family.

My abortion
I read an article about Merle Hoffman, the activist who, at age 25 and two years before Roe v. Wade, opened a Long Island City abortion clinic that is still in operation. She urges us to stop treating abortion like a dirty secret. "I think it's important to own it," she said, "one out of three woman before the age of 45!"
Inspired by my cousin Renee, who wrote about her abortion last September in order to help remove the stigma, I'd like to tell you about mine.
I was 21, I was just back from my junior year in Dublin, I discovered I was pregnant by my Irish boyfriend, I cried in the shower, my mom Shelley heard me, she asked what was wrong, I told her, we went to see my ten-year-old sister perform in a play, I had a cigarette that night because there was no question I knew what my choice would be (although I did briefly imagine that what if), I told my boyfriend and then my dad and both were completely supportive of my decision, I went to a doctor to confirm the pregnancy test, the nurse treated me like I was a happy new mom-to-be, I ignored that noise, Shelley brought me to a Planned Parenthood, a volunteer ushered us in past we the pushy protestors permanently stationed out front, we waited, we paged through magazines, we tried to read, I studied the young women around me and wondered what their stories were, my name was called, I was scared, a nurse held my hand, it sounded and felt like a very strong vacuum, we went home, I told my little sister I was sick, I rested, I talked to my boyfriend, I felt completely better in a day or two, I went to visit one of my best friends in NYC, I went back to college, I never once, not once, not for even a second, not ever regretted my decision, though a year later I did think to myself, shit, I could have a kid now, like, huh, okay. And that's it.
That's what an abortion is (not always, of course, but more often than not — yes). It's not agonizing, it's not shameful, it's not particularly interesting. The decision to have an abortion is, for many women of my generation and those before mine, among the greatest (and often easiest) they will ever make. It's something that I'm actually proud of — and I know many of you feel the same. It's time we started treating it that way.
I'm reblogging this and I hope NoraLeah doesn't mind, 'cause to me what she's saying is so often something normal everyday women in North America are afraid to say at the risk of offending their religious or conservative friends, etc.
It seems to me that being authentic is being brave enough or just candid enough to be honest about what you are experiencing or who you are, whether it is popular are not. A person gives a gift to other people when they say, 'This is what happened to me or this is how I truly feel, no matter what the popular belief is about what I should feel.' Whenever you are honest, you are speaking for a thousand silent people who don't have the voice to say what they really feel or are really experiencing. So, if you ever talk about [the thing you went through], you will touch a million hearts. Because you are speaking for more than just yourself. You are never alone in what you are feeling. I love you.
Cup of Jo's mom in a letter to her encouraging to tell her depression story.
She posted this last week but I just read it — and it's amazing because that was exactly the reason I wanted to share my abortion story — magnified in today's political climate because we NEED to share these stories in order to re-frame the debate. And let me tell you — the reaction I got has validated my choice to hit "publish" times a hundred. I was afraid but I needn't have been. People have reached out to me to tell me they are facing an abortion and it brought tears to my eyes knowing I can help.
You are never alone. Please feel free to message or email me: email@example.com.
(via noraleah)
I enjoyed reading all of this. The depression story and the abortion story. I love reading something where while you're reading it's like an invisible rope inside you is tying itself into a knot and you just feel immediately connected and moved that a part of you either changes or makes peace with a personal battle. I loved this like that.

Sigh. After reading an article this morning about a mom who is upset that her preschooler is being taught to act like a gentleman, I can't help but worry about whether chivalry as we know it will inevitably disappear from our society altogether -- all because some parents see respectful behavior as a bad thing.
New York Times writer Lynn Messina is all bent out of shape because her 4-year-old son has been introduced to the "ladies first" concept by his preschool teacher, who lets the girls go to the restroom before the boys before nap time. And somehow, she views the idea of letting the girls go before the boys as a sexism/gender equality thing.
Lynn explains her reasoning for viewing the practice of letting girls go first as sexist in depth. While I sort of understand where she's coming from -- I just can't get behind her way of thinking.
Because to me, there's nothing I find more endearing and respectful than a man who opens doors for me, lets me walk through said door ahead of him, and treats me like a lady. And that's why I strive to instill chivalry in my own son whenever I get the chance, because I want him to treat women with respect instead of treating them like they're just "one of the guys."
That's right -- I WANT my son to grow up to be a gentleman, and I don't care how old-fashioned or dated some people think I am. And if my son's teacher ever were to teach him to let the girls in his class do things before him, I'd praise her for it. Because it would mean she cares about core values and principles just as much as I do, even though the whole concept of chivalry seems to be dying right before our eyes. (Which is just plain sad.)
There is absolutely no reason why boys can't be taught to be respectful to women, while also knowing women are fully capable of doing everything for themselves. Yes, equality is good, but a boy acting like a gentleman doesn't mean he thinks a girl is any less equal than him. It's a sign of adoration and respect, plain and simple. (Not every act of kindness has to have some hidden agenda, for crying out loud. Gah.)
Instead of trying to pick apart chivalry and turn it into something negative, moms who question it should think about it in terms of their son's future wife -- and how lucky she is going to be to marry someone who treats her with the level of dignity and love she deserves. Don't we owe at least that much to our future generations?
On that note, I think I'll take a break and go over the "always open doors for women" concept with my son one more time.
Would you be offended if a teacher taught your son to be a gentleman?
Image via hoyasmeg/Flickr
No...my kid's school teaches them respect and I would be THRILLED if they taught boys to be gentlemen.
I am a mom to a little boy (soon to be 2 little boys!), and I am also a successful, highly educated, feminist professional. My boys will be raised to have good manners, regardless of gender, but I will also teach them that chivalry is a good thing, as long as they understand women are equal. There is nothing wrong or damaging about a little chivalry in this world. There is too little respect and consideration out there as it is.
Since the age of three we've had our son in a preschool/daycare that instills these very values and we are so pleased! We strive to raise a polite and respectful only child, and no matter WHO he is dealing with he knows that he is expected to behave with respect. It's not a hard concept - but one that is going by the wayside it seems. He's five now, and while we don't expect him to be a little robot/butler I'm always pleased and a little proud at the comments we get as he's opening the door for me, or holding his hand out to help his 3yr old (girl) cousin down a step. He's chivalrous, learning from his dad and others - and I think that's just fine.
I have two boys and I always teach them to be gentlemen, I tell them you have a mom, grandma and sisters don't you want someone to treat them right? Respect and manners no longer exist with boys or girls.
Feminism killed chivalry. Men used to do polite respectful stuff for women and get told "thank you", with feminism they're given some snarky remark about how she's not helpless and can do it herself. It would be great if there were more boys being raised to be gentlemen, but in order for that there'd have to also be more girls raised to be ladies.
I don't feel it is the schools place to teach it, but I do think that boys need to be taught to be gentlemen and girls also need to be taught to be ladies. It goes both ways and if the girls at school are not being taught to thank the boys then I think it is wrong.

Public Memorial For Caylee Scheduled
A public memorial is set for Caylee Anthony. Will her mother Casey be watching from jail?
The big question on everyone's minds is will Casey Anthony be able to watch the televised event in the Orange County Jail? According to Allen Moore, a rep for the jail, many news outlets are getting the answer wrong. Everywhere it's being reported Casey will be able to watch on it television. Moore simply says it's just, "inaccurate reporting. "Yes, she can make a request to watch television," he explains, "but that does not mean it will granted." The fact is she has made no such request but, explains Moore, "Even if she did there are many variables as to whether she'd be given permission."
There is a television in the unit where Anthony is housed, "but it is rarely on," says Moore. The reason it's off is a matter of jail operations. Anthony is also housed with psychological observation inmates, who are too easily disrupted by television and discipline inmates who are not allowed to watch TV. Also, Anthony's status as a "protective custody" inmate makes it difficult to schedule TV time. "When she's out of her cell, everyone else has to be in theirs," says Moore. Then there's the question of if the memorial will be broadcast at a time that coincides with Anthony's time out of her cell.
There is only one way Anthony might witness her daughter's memorial: that's by listening to it. If the event is broadcast on the radio, she can listen to it on her $21 Sony radio she purchased from the jail's commissary. The radio is specifically designed for inmates in U.S. corrections facilities: it has a transparent case to prevent inmates from using it to conceal things.
With all the rumors circulating around about possibly attending private memorials or watching it on TV, it's still not clear if Casey even wants to attend. Could it be it's a ploy from her lawyers to generate sympathy for their client?

Since when is a memorial scheduled prior to a funeral? Lay this child to rest! In my opinion maybe Casey Anthony should be allowed to watch the service and stay for all the comments thereafter â the supportive and the angry parents who want Casey to tell the truth â which is rather doubtful as now her best defense is to stick with the âI am innocent, just like Richard Kimble. I am being railroaded by the police! Just ask my lawyers. Oh, woe is me! Remember, âI am the victim here!ââ But then again it will just feed into here psychosis â the world revolves around her â âSee all the news channels are talking about me!â Caylee who? Oh, âthe little snot-head.â Forget the media circus, lets have a reality check! Based on the evidence released by the state â Casey is responsible for Cayleeâs death! Who else? Zanny (Xanax) the Nanny?! Do you know anyone who will baby-sit/Nanny for free? Remember she had no money and no job, she lied about working x 2 plus years, the only money she had was just what she stole from her family and friends. So, where will you be Tuesday?
Why would Casey want to see the memorial for her daughter on Tuesday ???? She already buried her daughter 2 times when she buried Caylee in her backyard and then dug her up and threw her into those woods …. she already had her own private service as Caylee lay rotting in the trunk of her car.
Casey is not going to want to watch Caylee's public memorial on TV or listen to it on the radio. She also is not going to want to meet with her parents to mourn Caylee's murder. Out of sight. Out of mind. Once she killed the obstacle standing in the way of her freedom after planning the murder for months, Casey never looked back. Don't forget that after murdering Caylee, Casey got a tatoo: "Beautiful Life", which to her meant pole dancing, partying, having sex, eating pizza, cooking for her boyfriend, text messaging, emailing and telephoning friends. It meant freedom from taking care of a child and freedom from her parents. Her behavior ever since her arrest shows she wants to forget Caylee ever existed. Whenever anyone asked her questions about Caylee's whereabouts she either lied or threw a tantrum making it all about Casey, and not Caylee. Casey doesn't care and never did care about Caylee. All she cares about is Casey.
From the very beginning of this case, I prayed Caylee would be found. But the more the story evolved the more horrified I became as to the truth of it all. Within weeks of this case hitting the airwaves I knew Caylee was dead and the one that should have protected her the most was responsible for it. I do not know if Casey Anthonyâs intention was homicidal in nature. But, without a doubt the result of her actions caused the death of her own child. For that alone she should be imprisoned. Should Casey have a fair trial? Yes! Prosecutors should present all the evidence. Baez and his âGirl Fridayâ should present a defense. The law must be followed. The truth must win out. The murderer of Caylee Anthony will be convicted. And her name is Casey Anthony. May the next party she attends be in Hell!
To Connie:
Well, I know Casey doesn't want to watch the Memorial. If she did, Jose Bozo the Baez would whine until he got what Casey or HE wants. Remember the laptop. Yeah, Casey watches the NG show whenever Bozo goes to see her. She's sooooooooooo guilty!!
Casey Anthony got a tattoo "Beautiful Life" after her daughter, Caylee went missing? I have not followed this case, but what I have seen and heard totally disgusts me. In a normal world, a world my family has known, a little girl like Caylee would be watched 24 hours by family members. There would never have been a "missing child case" to deal with and worry about. This case is truly creepy and borders on the unbelievable.
Good article. Nice to read. I have got a observation to submit about shirts.

from The Great Debate:
IRS at 100: How income taxation built the middle class
Exactly a century ago, on October 3, 1913, President Woodrow Wilson signed the first modern federal income tax into law. The sky did not fall.
That may have surprised the eminences of the American plutocracy. For years they had predicted the most dire of consequences should the federal government begin taxing the incomes of America's most comfortable.
Those warnings took a shriller turn in 1909. A flurry of cynical congressional maneuvers sent the states a constitutional amendment, ostensibly designed to allow a federal income tax. Conservatives in Congress felt confident that the amendment had no chance of gaining enough state support to be ratified. To clinch the amendment's defeat, they unleashed a fierce rhetorical fusillade.
Friends of grand fortune would reserve a special venom for the notion of "progressive" taxation -- the idea that high incomes should face the highest tax rates. They characterized a "graduated" tax on the incomes of America's affluent as "extortion," a "penalty upon ability and intelligence" and an imposition on a "small class of people powerless to defend itself." Taxing the wealthy, they contended, would be "killing the goose that laid the golden egg."
from The Great Debate:
Palmer Raids Redux: NSA v civil liberties
President Barack Obama speaks about the National Security Agency's secret collection of telephone records from millions of Americans, June 7, 2013.REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque
During the "Red Scare" that swept the United States in the wake of Russia's 1917 Bolshevik revolution, the Justice Department launched a cycle of raids against radicals and leftists. The U.S. attorney general, a once-celebrated Progressive leader named A. Mitchell Palmer, gave his name to this unfolding series of attacks against civil liberities.
from Amplifications:
Why Ron Paul is so challenging to liberals
By Matt Stoller
The views expressed are his own.
The most perplexing character in Congress, ideologically speaking, is Ron Paul. This is a guy who exists in the Republican Party as a staunch opponent of American empire and big finance. His ideas on the Federal Reserve have taken some hold recently, and he has taken powerful runs at the Presidency on the obscure topic of monetary policy. He doesn't play by standard political rules, so while old newsletters bearing his name showcase obvious white supremacy, he is also the only prominent politician, let alone Presidential candidate, saying that the drug war has racist origins. You cannot honestly look at this figure without acknowledging both elements, as well as his opposition to war, the Federal government, and the Federal Reserve. And as I've drilled into Paul's ideas, his ideas forced me to acknowledge some deep contradictions in American liberalism (pointed out years ago by Christopher Laesch) and what is a long-standing, disturbing, and unacknowledged affinity liberals have with centralized war financing. So while I have my views of Ron Paul, I believe that the anger he inspires comes not from his positions, but from the tensions that modern American liberals bear within their own worldview.
My perspective of Paul comes from working with his staff in 2009-2010 on issues of war and the Federal Reserve. Paul was one of my then-boss Alan Grayson's key allies in Congress on these issues, though on most issues of course he and Paul were diametrically opposed. How Paul operated his office was different than most Republicans, and Democrats. An old Congressional hand once told me, and then drilled into my head, that every Congressional office is motivated by three overlapping forces – policy, politics, and procedure. And this is true as far as it goes. An obscure redistricting of two Democrats into one district that will take place in three years could be the motivating horse-trade in a decision about whether an important amendment makes it to the floor, or a possible opening of a highly coveted committee slot on Appropriations due to a retirement might cause a policy breach among leadership. Depending on committee rules, a Sub-Committee chairman might have to get permission from a ranking member or Committee Chairman to issue a subpoena, sometimes he might not, and sometimes he doesn't even have to tell his political opposition about it. Congress is endlessly complex, because complexity can be a useful tool in wielding power without scrutiny. And every office has a different informal matrix, so you have to approach each of them differently.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Sunrise is an excellent school. Smaller than most elementary schools in the area. The teachers have been great through all the grades that our child has attended. The music program is terrific as well. Strong parent involvement.
Sunrise is an excellent school with a strong, cohesive community supporting it. My kids' teachers have been wonderful in engaging their desire to learn and grow. The library is fantastic, as is the science program and music program. I am really pleased with this school and neighborhood.
Teachers make all the difference! We relocated to the area and looked at a lot of schools to find ones with good ratings and also had onsite after school care. We've been very happy with Sunrise. The school could do with more funding compared to the school district we came from, but that goes for all public schools in the area. The PTA is very active and does a lot of good work to make up for it. The teachers our daughter has had so far have been excellent. She loves going to school here.
This school is horrible! The principal and teachers have very negative attitudes(you can tell they hate their job). It's a bad environment for any child to learn in. The only good teachers I've seen at this school are the P.E. teachers and the music teacher. The only reason the students at this school tend to perform well on standardized tests are due to the high level of parental involvement. I would not recommend this school to anyone!
My kids love the school. Staffs are great and know their kids very well. PTA is very active. I think that the school buildings need to be bit more updated.
Wonderful staff and exceptional parent involvement. The PTA goes above and beyond to supplement programs and keeps the school a close community through activities all year long. I'm so proud to have my children attend this school. I know they are getting a great education with their approach to current curriculum. Sometimes we forget it is a public school, with all the parent volunteers, etc.. The low teacher: student ratio is always a top priority as well.
This school is useless for special education students. If you have a special needs child run in the opposite direction. Principal is uninformed and likes it that way.
This is a great school, with great kids and involved parents.
This is a good community school with actively involved parents and PTA. PE, Music and Science instruction are great, as is the library program. There's also an excellent before and after school care program onsite through the YMCA. Leadership from the principal's office is lacking. Curriculum could be more rigorous and communication between teachers and parents could be better. Some of the teachers are excellent, the rest are unfortunately not. Due to budget cuts, the nurse and counselor are only part time.
I suspect the regular classes are great as well but I can tell you that the special education classes are terrific. Ms. Cara Erdman is outstanding. If your kid gets her, consider yourself lucky! Go Cara!
Sunrise is a great community school. The parents are very involved and the PTA is quite active. My personal experience with the kindergarten teacher has been outstanding, but I know there are other teachers at this school who are not as stellar. The leadership coming from the principal's office could definitely be better, but overall I think it is a great school.

Wikipedia Meaning and Definition on 'Cuticular'
A cuticle (pronounced /ˈkjuːtɪkəl/), or cuticula, is any of a variety of tough but flexible, non-mineral outer coverings of an organism, or parts of an organism, that provide protection. Cuticles are non-homologous, differing in their origin, structure and chemical composition.
In human anatomy, cuticle (also called eponychium) refers to several structures. It refers to the dead layers of epidermal cells or keratinocytes that produce the horn protein keratin, to the strip of dead skin cells at the base and sides of the fingernail, to the eponychium, and also to the superficial layer of overlapping cells covering the hair shaft (cuticula pili) that locks the hair into its follicle (See also Cuticle (hair)).
In zoology, the invertebrate cuticle or cuticula is a multi-layered structure outside the epidermis of many invertebrates, notably roundworms and arthropods, in which it forms an exoskeleton (see arthropod exoskeleton).[See more about Cuticular at Dictionary 3.0 Encyclopedia]

There is no league business because of the lockout but there is a schedule. There have been no bargaining session between owners and players since last month but let's be optimistic and assume the schedule will go off as planned and the Hawks will open Nov. 2 at Minnesota.
Usually there would be some major free-agent signings by now and there would be a better sense of how teams might stack up. As it stands now, the Hawks have just seven players with guaranteed contracts for next season. By comparison, Miami has nine players with guaranteed deals (assuming no one is going to make a run at restricted-free agent Mario Chalmers), Chicago has nine players, Boston has seven (assuming Jeff Green stays put) and Orlando has 10.
But all five of the East's top teams can pretty much return with their cores intact (with perhaps Orlando as an exception since J-Rich will be a free agent). So here's a quick look at some schedule highlights for the Hawks:

Woody was better than Auerbach. Josh Smith shoots like Larry Bird. Speedy Claxton is an NBA Legend. Adam Keefe could have been Karl Malone. Bob Sura's triple-double should have counted. Marvin has more fire than the Human Torch. Heat Check… I want to hear someone say Heat Check!!!

Does any body really care? How wants to pay to watch a team lead by captain Mediocre Al Horford?
How freaking boring!!!
The press wants to build behind a guy who has begged out of helping the team,by playing a need position. Instead of embracing the position and playing defense he escorts to the basket in hope that he will be placed at power forward. Josh Smith is a better power forward than Captain mediocre.
And Woodson is better than JDrew! The Hawks are getting worse, sells are down and the fans are fleeing.
F the Hawks! Shove that 2011/12 schedule.

July 19th, 2011
6:54 pm
DRMARYB-Baby, you are truely off the chain, but in a very good way.
I don't believe the Hawks will be boring this season, assuming we have a season. LDrew is in the final yr of his contract, and although he shares some of the same STUBBORN STUPIDITY as MWoodson, I just don't think he's as stupid overall. Unlike Woodson, he'll definitely give JTeague plenty of burn, even if he refuses to let him start.
We also know we won't have any DEF liabilities at PG who will consistently slow the ball down, or spend all of his time on the perimeter looking to launch 3's. With Teague and Hinrich as our primary PG's, we'll definitely run a lot more than we have in the past.
They will also create easier scoring opportunities for others with their ability to penetrate and speed up the gm with more fastbreak opportunities. This yrs team will definitely be a lot more exciting and productive than last yrs. With Hinrich, we retain the outside shooting ability that Bibby brought, and we gain the DEF ability, and just about everything else, that was totally absent with Bibby.
Whether Teague atarts or comes off the bench, he'll give us the DEF and other dynamics that we missed with Jamal. While he's not as explosive offensively as Jamal, he can certainly provide the consistency that he lacked. He's also proven he can provide the 14PPG that we got from Jamal last yr.
The Hawks are a long way from being the team we want them to be, but they are an even longer way from being as bad as some of you try to make them out to be. Bad teams don't make the playoffs 4 consective yrs, or make it to the 2nd rd 3 consecutive yrs.

Same ASG ownership? They have ONE chance and that is this year to redeem themselves since they now have their full attention on the Hawks. if they do not make it to the Conference finals we WILL BOYCOTT THE HAWKS IN EVERY WAY UNTIL THEY ARE GONE.
I want them gone now but I will give them THIS year to redeem themselves and get the BEST CENTER that is available in the WORLD that is available. NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTS MONETARILY. Joe and Al need help in the middle. They need athleticiism that we had when Josh Childers was on the team. We were fun to watch then and the team would feed off the energy of the running and slamming high-flying fast breaks. Josh Smith dont do as much of that anymore for whatever reason. Maybe him and Teague can get it going if Josh is still around.
1) A Top Center
2) Energy
3) Phil Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy, PAY for a coach! Could have had Doc maybe a few years back you cheapos!
4) Strong D is a MUST!

This is a lost season – too much greed and hubris on both sides. Stern is as tyrannical and stubborn as Genghis Khan. Players get criticized for going for the ring (Lebron) or going for the money (JJ) but players attract the crowds. Coaches and players alike can't speak their minds without paying dearly through fines. Now they want a hard cap – getattahere!

The only thing I want to hear is that Hawks has been sold to somebody that actually cares(they are very quiet about this, since the impending sale report about a month ago).

Josh Smith will take any trade to anywhere, he and Ilya Kovelchuk were good friends, hung out as homies, JS knows the atl.a$$ clowns are useless.

im tryn to figure why the ajc shuts this blog down, dont they want the extra traffic goin thru their website? i read at least two stories on their home page before i start to blog, it makes no sense.
back to the hawks, i think this lockout wont come to an end until early 2012. id like to see all NBA fans lockout the first game when it finally occurs, imagine stern thinkin everyone is happy that the nba is gona start again and then only 2-5 thousand people only show up for ever teams first home game. that would be legendary. slap straight to sterns face. he has lost touch with the fact that the nba is for the fans and is more concerned with his owners makin hella-millions instead of mega-millions.
ill make a hawks comment when something happens… tick.. tick tick.. tick tick

But sometimes I crave the hustle and bustle of the city streets, ya know?
And that is how, on a perfectly good beachy Saturday afternoon we found ourselves on the streets of Chinatown.
One of the sweetest things about living on O'ahu is the city. There is something magical about downtown Honolulu. Oh, it certainly is not a New York City city but we do have the tall buildings and busy streets and ooh, ooh, ooh our Chinatown.

as we grow older, we are taught to put homework first, always. we are taught to set aside our interests to complete busy work. we are taught to indulge in time fillers, rather than doing what we really want. and so then, once in a blue moon, when we happen to have a day of no work, we don't know what to do with ourselves. we forget what it means to be spontaneous; we learn to sit at a desk and focus. and I think that's a shame
It's been a neverending battle, but I can proudly say I'm clean from heroin. It's been a few weeks, and I know that isn't great, but it's something. I stupidly fell back into the same old habits when I came back "home" to Pennsylvania. I was depressed, stressed out, and dealing with a lot of bullshit. So when someone offered me free bags, of course I couldn't say no. I really wanted to, but it was so hard. However, I quickly realized I could not go down this route again, and so I stopped. It's really been hard because it's still all I think about. I hate it so much, but at the same time want it so bad. I can't do it though. I won't do it. It caused me to fuck up relationships in my life these past few months because I was angry. I was going through it, but nobody had a clue, or even cared to ask if I was okay. However, I'm use to that. I'm use to being alone. I hate myself for causing heroin to push good people out of my life. So right now I continue to work at my new job and try to figure out where I want to go from here. I still don't know. I really don't. All I know is it's hard living sober, but at the same time it's even harder living when drugs are your main focus. Yet, getting clean can't be my only focus. I also have realized I need to get my mental health in check. It's the main root to all of my problems. It's the main reason I use. So yeah, I could remain clean, but if I don't get clean, and get help for my mental health… then how will I stop relapsing? Since every time I do get clean my life is still shit. So when my life is still shit then I always justify getting high, because why stay sober if you still feel just as bad? At least your life can still be bad, but you're not going through it sober. However, I can't live that way anymore because it's not living at all. I want my life back.Friday Jun 6 @ 07:44pm

What do you really expect from
That is an interesting question because there have been many so many seasons where I haven't given his performance or health really a second thought, but that has all changed. For the position that he plays, it's not going to be a walk in the park having to deal with that back surgery. Having worked off and on with this organization since 1999, I have grown to respect these doctors and the skill they have to fix these injuries, but there really is so much unknown how this might play out. What worries me the most about Romo is if this back condition robs him of his ability to continue to be a mobile quarterback. It doesn't take a scout to tell you that one of the best traits of Romo's game is his ability to avoid the rush and extend a play. As good as this offensive line played in 2013, there will still be a time or two where that protection completely breaks down and Romo is going to have to be Romo. Will we see him taking more sacks or just quickly unloading the ball, while a healthy Romo would have those eyes down the field looking to make that dagger pass? There is no question that these quarterbacks change the older they get, but now having to deal with an injury to a critical area of his body makes his job even more difficult.
It was very clear that before last season, Doug Free was not playing well, and to his credit, he even admitted that to me. The problem with Free has never been about his athletic ability, but more about his lack of power and when he plays with poor technique. These were two areas that he really focused on when he took the reduction in his salary to try and once again raise his level of play. In my opinion, Free's never going to be one of those tackles that will blow you off the ball, but in this scheme where he can play on the edges and work to the scheme level to play in space, he has a great chance of succeeding, which he did. It's not that Free isn't strong, but when he plays tall with straight legs, he has no shot. With Free, it's all about knee bend and getting his hands inside. When his hands go wide and it allows defenders inside on him, he is going to get overpowered. We have all seen this. The corrections that Free made this time last season in OTAs and into Oxnard made all the difference in the world. As far as extending him, without a doubt, this is something that the front office has thought about. This is a transaction that can be easily done in my view because Free understands how this business really works. He and his agent made a very smart move in
The battle during training camp should be a great one. As the camp works through July and into August, I feel like we will all have a better understand of how many running backs this squad will keep on the 53-man roster. What we have to remember is that

Last week we asked you which anthems you expected and/or wanted to see on VH1's 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs. Well, today, to coincide with the net's 10 p.m. ET unveiling of the top 20, we'll conclude our festivities with another challenge: Rank the top 10, in order of oh-my-god-this-song-rocks-so-hard-iness. The fine folks at VH1 have revealed those 10 tunes exclusively to you, PopWatchers. Here they are, in alphabetical order:
• AC/DC's "Back in Black"
• Aerosmith's "Walk This Way"
• Black Sabbath's "Paranoid"
• Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle"
• Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love"
• Metallica's "Enter Sandman"
• Motörhead's "Ace of Spades"
• Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
• Van Halen's "Runnin' with the Devil"
• The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again"
We know how we would arrange our list. (Hint: "Back in Black," "Runnin' with the Devil," and "Welcome to the Jungle," you may proceed to the head of the class.) But who cares what we think? Give us your top 10, using these selections. (And yes, if you hate VH1's picks, you also can make a list using hard rock songs of your choosing.)

What is the most painful lesson you experienced and you wish other people to avoid your experience
Some people when came a cross painfull experience they wish every one in the face of the Earth get the same level of pain
other people they wish all other people to avoid such pain
The Question is
What is the most painful lesson you experienced and you wish other people to avoid your experience?
what did you learned?
and what people should to avoid the same situation?
Closing Statement from AbdelRahman Siddig
We can not avoid the feeling of pain it good feeling if we know how to use it
and as the wisdom says " there is hiden treasure buried inside each tragedy"
but we can learn from each other mistakes and save time and efforts

May 2 2012: Not a popular nor a politically correct one: If you are a woman, you will have a far better time accomplishing things that require absolutely no delegation or teamwork, especially in very male-heavy environments. Most such disciplines have an on-ramp in the early 20s, and males in that age bracket will ABSOLUTELY NEVER accept leadership from a female in the same age bracket. If you are an ambitiousd woman and have multiple arenas where you can achieve things, aim yourself for the one that requires as little teamwork as possible. Sorry, but it's the truth.
May 12 2012: It really is true. I find it interesting that majority of people respond best to a woman. Siri, automated voicemails, all kinds of things that are female voices, because most people respond to that motherly connection. However when it comes to a male dominated field, a team, or collaboration of some kind, the female tends to see the most conflict, receive the least amount of respect, and has to work twice as hard to get half the output. When you add in an age conflict it becomes even more apparent. My mind goes back to how we evolved and what role that has played in our current society. I completely agree with you though. You either need a team that is already have well established and respects you, or no team at all.

A national manufacturer of ice

study to determine how ice cream preferences relate to personality.
The study, conducted by Dr. Alan R. Hirsch (M.D.) neurological
director of the smell and taste treatment and research foundation
in Chicago, revealed that distinct personalities correspond
with ice cream flavors.
According to the official taster
for Edy's Grand Ice Cream, the flavorology research is fun "food

serving dessert, ask your family and friends to name their favorite
ice cream flavor, then give them the scoop on their personality.
Pick your favorite ice cream flavor,
remember to check the compatibility
The flavorology research also compiled

Leave a Comment
I chose banana and apparently im going to be the perfect wife! 😊
Huh? Well kind of. I picked vanilla but I am not a private person. The rest is right though!
I like those honey/caramel ones but i had to choose choc chip... Not really accurate
My fave ice cream = choc. chip cookie dough, but that wasn't here so I chose choc. chip. Some of the analysis is accurate: I'm generous & I love social situations. :) But most of it is my OPPOSITE. I hate competition. :( I'm one of the least competitive folks I know. I'm also not a go-getter or conqueror. I'm actually kinda lazy, in fact.
haha that's funny I am lazy I eat ice cream and sleep lol
I like Coffee flavors, but since there isn't coffee, I chose Chocolate Chip, Third Fav. to Coffee and Cookie Dough
Isn't Chocolate chip and Cookies and Cream the same flavour?
If not then can anyone tell me the difference please
Chocolate chip has little pieces of chocolate whereas Cookies and Cream has chunks of Oreo cookies in it.
No chocolate chip is vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips in it..... cookies 'n cream is vanilla ice cream with Oreos/chocolate wafer cookies in it.
No. Cookies and cream is generally vanilla ice cream with oreos in it, and chocolate is, well chocolate.
Chocolate chip is green mint flavored ice cream with dark chocolate chips. Cookies and cream is vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips and/or cookie pieces.
I got chocolate chip, really accurate, I set ambitions and danced on the west end in Billy Elliot ( I want to go back to the show!) And my friends say I'm generous, I do loads of competitive sports and dance competitions! Arghh how do you get this and all your other quizzes so accurate!
Mines strawberry, guess it means forever alone for me
What about mint chocolate chip?
I know right :)
This is so inaccurate. I like chocolate but no one says I'm a follower. I am the head of Baltimore! People follow ME! And where's the french vanilla? mint? homemade vanilla? cool whip? lime sherbert? Really Banana? who eats that?
where's caramel ? come on, i can't choose any of these, I'd choose caramel, toffee or so. Plus mint should be here too ! just 6 can't tell much
I chose strawberry and it seems like the most negative of them all. Even the people they're supposed to match with (chocolate chip), don't match with strawberry people. I guess I'll stay alone forever and the ice cream is to blame.
Vanilla is so inaccurate!
Vanilla is a safe flavor. It is rather plain. You can never go wrong with vanilla.
People who choose vanilla would choose vanilla because it is the safe option. They probably don't like to try new things, are very conventional, and would NOT be risk takers.
There are a lot of ice cream flavors. Y only 6?? Tsss....where's my cookies n cream?

News Release
|October 17, 2003
|Media Contact:
|SAMHSA Press
HHS Awards $4 Million To Fight Ecstasy, Club Drugs at Local Level
Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson today announced awards to
begin funding 12 local programs aimed at preventing use of Ecstasy and other
club drugs. The one-year awards will total $4,091,000.
Ecstasy, ketamine, rohypnol, GHB and LSD are among the club drugs rapidly
finding acceptance among adolescents and college-age youth.
Congress passed the Ecstasy Anti-Proliferation Act of 2000 to prevent
youth acceptance of these dangerous substances.
The awards will be granted by HHS' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
"These grants will support efforts to help young people steer clear of
dangerous club drugs such as Ecstasy and rohypnol," Secretary Thompson said.
"These awards will help young people recognize that club drugs can lead
to date rape, addiction and death."
SAMHSA Administrator Charles Curie said: "At a time in their lives when adolescents and young adults should be studying and preparing for their futures it is a tragedy to see them instead affecting their memory and risking their lives on Ecstasy and other club drugs. These grants are designed to target funding to communities where club drugs are an emerging problem."
Grantees include:
Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation (Tucson, Ariz.) - $343,000.
The grantee will employ one-on-one counseling, media, discussion groups
and other methods to reach young individuals at risk for club drub use.
Social Advocates for Youth (San Diego/South Bay Calif.) - $343,000. The grantee will focus on high-risk youth in three age groups to promote high community norms involving "club drug" use and their connection with "rave" events.
Community Action Partnership (Kern County, Calif.) - $341,212. The grantee will integrate ecstasy and other club drugs prevention, education, and intervention efforts for middle school and high school students.
California State University (Long Beach, Calif) - $341,221. The grantee will target male club drug users and others at-risk for HIV.
Pittsburg Pre-School and Community Council (Contra Costa County, Calif.) - $342,568. The grantee will develop community-driven, peer-based prevention services to prevent or reduce club drug use among teens, college students, other young adults, and older adults at risk for club drug use.
Center for Drug-Free Living (Orlando, Florida)- $343,000. This program is designed to impact both the shared and individual environments of youth and proposes a coordinated community-based approach to address the risks of ecstasy and other club drug use.
Gateway Community Services (Fla.)- $343,000. The grantee will provide ecstasy and other club drug prevention interventions to 200 at-risk middle and high school youth in Daytona and Jacksonville, Florida.
Washington County DHHS Commission of Children and Families, Parents and Youth Together program (Washington County, Ore.) - $338,856. The grantee will focus on 8th grade and older students at risk for club drug use by building anti-drug leadership and involving such groups as the Police Activities League.
Oregon Partnership (Portland, Ore.) - $342,576. The grantee will work to prevent experimentation with club drugs by means of filmmaking and community outreach approaches.
Phoenix Houses of Texas (Houston, Texas) – $343,000. The grantee will focus on educating young people in grades 7-11 on the dangers posed by ecstasy and other club drugs.
Association for the Advancement of Mexican
Americans (Texas) - $327,127. The grantee
will work to strengthen connections among primary health care providers,
counselors and others working to prevent club drug use among Hispanic youth in
the Rio Grande Valley.
Coalition Against Club Drug Abuse (Houston, Texas) - $342,440. The grantee will focus on reaching youth populations identified as being at elevated risk for ecstasy use.
SAMHSA is a public health agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The agency is responsible for accountability, capacity and effectiveness of the nation's substance abuse prevention, addictions treatment and mental health service delivery systems.
