Statement of Concern from Arizona Critical Ethnic Studies
The members of Arizona Critical Ethnic Studies are deeply concerned by a recent incident involving an Arizona State University (ASU) police officer and an ASU faculty member. We call for a swift and thorough investigation into this matter.
On the evening of May 21, 2014, Dr. Ersula Ore, a professor in the English department at ASU, was walking home from campus after teaching a summer course. Dr. Ore, who is African American, was stopped and questioned by a male ASU police officer patrolling the area in his vehicle. After a short exchange with the officer, a brief physical altercation ensued in which Dr. Ore, who was wearing a dress, was forced up against the officer's car and then onto the ground, fully exposing portions of her lower body to the public. Eyewitness accounts of the incident, including video evidence, support Dr. Ore's assertion that the officer did not clearly inform her regarding why she was being stopped or inform her of her rights, and engaged in excessive force during her detention. Despite these questionable circumstances, however, Dr. Ore has subsequently been charged with felony aggravated assault on the officer, among other charges.
We are troubled by the responses of the media, University, and ASU Police Department about this incident. Media versions have presented a sensationalized, one-sided story that differs substantially from Dr. Ore's and eyewitness accounts. Officials at ASU, in response to questions about the incident and possible racial profiling, have sought to distance the University, stating that 1) because the incident occurred on a public street between parts of campus, it was technically "off campus," so Dr. Ore was a private citizen; and 2) although they will comply with any investigation, there is no evidence of racial profiling. We find these responses insufficient. First, the officer involved was an ASU police officer and the University is responsible for the conduct of its employees, including its police force. Second, whether as a private citizen or as a member of the ASU community, Dr. Ore has the right to expect dignified and humane treatment by ASU's police officers. ASU, as a public institution, has a responsibility to ensure this occurs. Third, ASU has not undertaken a thorough investigation into the matter, so how can officials claim that there is an absence of racial profiling? In a state and metropolitan region in which racial profiling has been proven to be widespread, the ASU administration's lack of concern for the well-being of an ASU community member of color is unacceptable.
Given that the mission of the ASU Police Department is, "To enhance the quality of life by providing a safe and secure environment through professional and proactive law enforcement services in partnership with the University community," this incident clearly warrants further inquiry from ASU. We ask the ASU administration to conduct a comprehensive investigation into this matter as well as an audit on the conduct of its police force vis-à-vis racial profiling. How can ASU ensure a safe, secure, and just environment for its faculty, students, and staff if it disclaims any responsibility for the actions of ASU police officers? The following questions should be starting points for its audit: In the ASU Police Department, what training is in place to ensure that its police officers are knowledgeable and well-trained to be in compliance with laws prohibiting racial profiling and excessive force? What monitoring systems exist to ensure accountability? How does the department respond to racial profiling complaints?
Dr. Ore, the ASU community, and the broader public deserve a full and just investigation into this incident.

St. George • Troy Anderson said he's doing everything he can to return home.
"And by home I mean back to the Salt Lake City Police Department," Anderson said.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Anderson was one of seven peace officers whose name was called Thursday by the Utah Peace Officer Standards and Training Council. Four times a year, the group disciplines police and Corrections officers from throughout the state.
Alcohol played a direct role in three of the disciplinary cases handled Thursday, including Anderson's. On March 30, 2012, a Utah Highway Patrol trooper arrested Anderson on suspicion of driving under the influence. Anderson pleaded guilty in Murray Justice Court to a reduced misdemeanor charge of impaired driving. He received a $1,200 fine, 48 hours of community service and a year of probation. In July, he resigned from the Salt Lake City Police Department.
But Anderson, 42, on Thursday asked the council to suspend his police certification for one year instead of the 18 months recommended by council investigators.
Anderson, who said he has been a police officer for 16 years, told the council he was upset about the deaths of some former fellow police officers and went out drinking with some friends the night he was pulled over.
Anderson said he has undergone counseling even though a mental health professional did not diagnose him as having a drinking problem.
"As we all know, alcohol impairs judgment, and that clearly was the case for me," Anderson said.
Maj. Scott Stephenson, the director of Utah's police academy and who oversees discipline investigations, said his staff was seeking an 18-month suspension for Anderson because a blood-alcohol test showed Anderson had "twice the legal limit" of alcohol when he was arrested.
After some questioning about his use of alcohol — Anderson said he still had a glass of wine or a beer with dinner — the council gave him the one-year suspension.
The suspension is retroactive to when Anderson left the Salt Lake City police, meaning Anderson is eligible to return to law enforcement this summer, if a department will hire him.
Peace officers facing discipline are not required to appear before the council, and only a few do.
Also on Thursday, the council revoked the police certification of Daniel J. Kotter. He was a reserve police officer in Perry in 2011 when he offered a state trooper $1,000 to not appear in court for Kotter's friend's drunken-driving case.
Kotter, 35, pleaded guilty in state court to a felony count of bribery in November 2012. His sentencing is scheduled for April 4. Kotter was fired two days after criminal charges were filed.
The council gave a two-year suspension to Cameron G. Carter. Carter was a UHP trooper who accessed the state's driver license database, found personal information on people and entered that information in UHP's computer system to make it appear he had pulled over those people or arrested them. Stephenson told the council that Carter was trying to improve his performance statistics. Carter resigned from UHP in December.
Other discipline administered Thursday:
• Summer Knots received a one-year suspension for driving under the influence. Knotts was not employed by any police force at the time of her arrest in July.
• Boone R. Thomas received a one-year suspension for retail theft. Thomas worked for the Utah Department of Corrections but resigned in April.
• Matthew Hadley also worked for Corrections. He received a one-year suspension for electronic communications harassment. He was fired in October.Next Page >

Is Socialism a religion?
It would appear that Socialism has many of the characteristics of a Religion - Prophet based, sacred texts, denial of the primacy of the individual, intolerance of other belief systems, importance of belief over actions, etc.
Is Socialism a religion?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Martim Cutum 500+Jun 13 2011: James, pretty much any belief can become "religious" if the believer wants to. Any belief has a famous author, a famous work, and intolerance can come from anywhere. There are, obviously, "religious" socialists, those who ignore any discussions of politics, who won't darre to question Marx, and keep quoting Gramsci as arguments. The argumentative fallacies are the same of the Christians talking about christianism, Jesus and the Bible.
However, socialism isn't, by principle, somewhat like a religion. If you look carefully, you can find tons of modern socialists who treat it simply as a political tendency, as a concept of society. Of course, there are still a great number of ortodox marxist, for example, but they're not a majority.
In addition, I believe that some of the arguments you presented, like "socialism denies the primacy of the individual", are mere interpretations. Socialism itself is simply the political conception that the means of production should be property of the whole population. Anything beyond that is an interpretation, an extension. We can't judge an ideal based on an interpretation.

Lancaster: "Clark has learnt his lesson"
ESPN Staff
January 9, 2013
Calum Clark has been given an opportunity by Lancaster © Getty Images
Head coach Stuart Lancaster has backed England rookie Calum Clark to succeed at international level and believes his call-up to the England senior squad is the perfect opportunity for the Northampton forward to rebuild his reputation on the rugby field.
Clark was banned from rugby after deliberately breaking the arm of an opponent last year. The 23-year-old had been on the fringes of the international squad before the incident last March. However, having served the ban Lancaster says that Clark now has the temperament and ability to make his mark at international level and will be useful as a utility forward.
"I have coached him since he was 14 and I know him well enough to know that he is hugely regretful of the incident," said Lancaster. "When he went into the hearing he didn't do anything other than put his hands up and say, 'I made a bad mistake, I apologise'.
"He has never felt anything other than remorse. He has served his punishment, a 32-week ban. I was disappointed we ended up in the situation that (he) missed out on developing himself for club and country. Massively. But equally, as with other players in the past, I think everyone deserves a second chance - and certainly he does.
"I have watched his games closely and observed his behaviour to make sure he is on the right side of where he should be. He has a competitive nature but he is channelling that in the right way. I know what he can offer."
Lancaster has also called-up the Gloucester pairing of Freddie Burns and Billy Twelvetrees to add options in the backs. Fly-half Burns made his debut at Twickenham last December in England's 38-21 win over New Zealand, while centre Twelvetrees has impressed Lancaster with his club form for the Cherry and Whites.
"Their form for their club (is what has impressed me)," Lancaster said."They have performed well together. They each credit the other for their form. They are coming into very competitive positions. We have Toby Flood and Owen Farrell at 10 who have played well for us. Billy comes in against Brad Barritt, who has been exceptional in the autumn and for Saracens. It was a tight call between Billy Twelvetrees and Anthony Allen but we wanted to get a chance to work with Billy.We are really excited about this squad going forward."
Elsewhere in the backs, Lancaster has opted for Saracens winger David Strettle on the left over Gloucester's Charlie Sharples, while Chris Ashton keeps his place on the right wing. In-form London Wasps and England Saxons speedster Christian Wade is on Lancaster's radar and he says that both Strettle and Wade will be pushing for positions in the starting line-up.
"The 33-man squad gives us depth," Lancaster said."The opportunity for David has come alongside a move to the left wing. We have Christian Wade (in the Saxons) pushing Chris Ashton very hard on the right wing. David has moved to left at Saracens and his form has been outstanding but Mike Brown was fantastic there against the All Blacks."

When it comes to my personal style and beauty preferences, I'm kind of a purist. I usually opt for plain black, I don't really wear much makeup besides a necessary application of mascara, and plain denim is basically the foundation of all my outfits. That said, I still adore extravagantly beautiful things, even if all they do is hang around my apartment like art objets or decor, never to be actually worn in public. And the same goes for makeup and beauty products. Ever since I was a little girl, I've been drawn to just about every tubed or bottled item I could get my hands on in the bathroom. My poor Mother would walk in to find her Yves Saint Laurent creams tainted with bits of Chanel lipstick and Monoi oil – a childish bout of potion-making that lasted late into my teens. Today I tend to keep the beauty cabinet pretty calm, but anytime I have the money or resources to get new makeup and products, I jump on that shit like a crack fiend. I don't even usually allow myself to walk into Sephora because I somehow always end up walking out with like 2 things and $100 less in my pocket. But I digress! So after many requests on my Instagram to share the daily beauty routine and rituals, I finally grouped together the current favorites lining my shelves. Let's compare notes!
My Mom has pretty incredible skin for her age and she always swears that the secret is a good daily moisturizer, so I'd say it's the most essential part of my routine. I usually change it up every year or so, but my all-time favorite since childhood is Mustela. They make creams for adults but I bought the Hydra Bebé creme a few months ago and it's kind of perfect for me – if babies can rock it why can't I?! The Garnier Nutritioniste Lightweight UV Lotion I've just been using for a couple of weeks, only because the Mustela is running out, and I gotta say…it's slightly on the greasy side. It smells really nice but for a summertime moisturizer it leaves me feeling a bit too shiny. When all those fail, I opt for Hydra Life by Dior. It's light, nice-smelling, and it really feels like it's bringing life back to your skin. Just don't get any near your lips – bitter as fuck! I never actually notice under-eye cream working, but when I do use one it's generally Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Eye Cream - apparently bitches swear by it, but if anyone reading this has a visibly effective product, holla! When I'm trying to perfect the base/foundation, I'll mix together a bit of Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus and Chanel Hydramax + Tint. The Clinique blends well and the Chanel has a nice creamy texture so it doesn't come out looking all dry. I either apply with a small brush or my fingers, then blend everything out with a sponge to be sure nothing looks cakey. If I end up resembling a Kardashian, I definitely fucked up somewhere during the process. And finally, to wipe it all away: NARS Makeup Cleansing Oil.
Like I mentioned earlier, I'm not a huge makeup person. After I apply the face base – moisturizer and maybe a little tint – I normally only do eyelashes and lip balm. Not shown is my trusty Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler, which I always use followed by Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara. It gets the job done, but I'm definitely in the market for a new one if any of you have suggestions. If the under-eye area looks tired or puffy (which sadly, it usually does) I've been using Maybelline Age-Rewind Dark Circle Eraser, but I could use an upgrade in that field too. When I'm trying to look more dolled up, I'll dust on some NARS Bronzing Powder for a warm glow – and if I go a bit too harsh or need a quick evening out, I follow it up with M.A.C Finishing Powder. Now onto the eye-makeup! My newest eyeshadow obsession is without question Chanel's Les 4 Ombres in #27 Golden Eyes – I don't see it available on their website (makeup colors often come & go there) but it's got a perfectly shimmery assortment of light pinks and gold, my favorite range of color for shadows. I also enjoy Chanel's Irréelle Duo in #10 Desert Rose and Givenchy Prism collections, but I'm pretty sure it's more for the packaging than anything else! If something needs slightly more shimmer or pop, I'll hit it with a dab or two of M.A.C Cream Colour Base, good for everything from under-eyes to cheeks. And since I never feel tan enough, NYX Bronzing Sticks help add an extra hint of glow. Lastly, the lips! I honestly never have on much more than some Nivea lip balm, but every now and then when I'm feeling super feminine I'll rock some sparkly lips courtesy of YSL or Anna Sui. The tubes alone are like a fashion accessory!
My hair is definitely the fussiest thing about my whole routine, I need at least 30 minutes or so to get it looking right each day. By nature, it's this really wavy curled frizzy mess that seems to scrunch up at the ends unless I give it a good flat-iron straightening. I could have it done up perfectly the night before, but the minute I wake up it'll look like I was electrocuted or swept off in a dust storm. I normally shampoo & condition with different Organix collections, then towel dry and comb in some Organix Coconut Milk Oil or leave-in spray. Once totally air dry, I apply a little John Frieda Frizz-Ease Heat Defeat to avoid making my split-ends even more overwhelming, followed by the iron. If there's some frizz left over, I work in a tiny bit of Kevin Murphy Easy Rider cream. My homegirl who does hair put me onto this – they sell it at the salon where she works and not only does it work great and smell amazing, but I'm pretty sure I'll never run out for as long as I live! I don't use hair spray very often, but the Paul Mitchell Super Clean Finishing Spray sorta does the trick when I need some. I need to just get that Elnett already! And finally, the brushing instrument: my white Mason Pearson. Arguably the best brush in the game, I got mine after my Dad splurged on one for himself in Paris, only to realize the bristles were too fine for his hair. Come ups!
Last but not least, the scents! As you can see, my Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Toilette is rather diminished, so lately the new favorite is J'adore by Dior Eau de Parfum. The bottles were complimentary in my bathroom when I stayed at the Hennessy Chateau in Cognac, France, a few months ago, hence I'm reminded of that every time I spritz some on. So lovely! Then there's Anna Sui's Fairy Dance, which my boyfriend scored off a shoot he worked on a while back. I haven't been wearing it very much, but the name still cracks me the fuck up. And finally, my newest body purchase, Bath & Body Works Paris Amour Shimmer Fizz. It makes you smell like a sweet little hooker and gets your palms covered in glitter with every application, but the mousse feels nice and cool on your skin, plus spreads a good dose of shimmer all over. Sexy stripper shine in no time!

Companies such as Facebook are exploiting to their benefit the weak status of the right to privacy in the law.
That is why we prefer to talk about a criminal theft of information, which in the case of social media networks is of course also a violation of both intellectual and privacy rights, however those are defined by any legal jurisdiction.
Original photos and texts that anyone posts about themselves belong to THEM, not to the social networking platform, and websites such as Facebook do not have the right to use that "property" or "intellectual property right" other than for the purpose to which it is was originally intended, unless they have explicit specific permission from the rights owner.
A simple clueless opt-out or opt-in will not suffice.
Search-type lists or compendiums utilizing private protected materials are illegal. We need look only to J.K.

Not allowed.
We see no great legal distinction here between Facebook's commercial use of search compendiums of private user materials and the J.K. Rowling case.

MTV's Teen Mom has many, many bad stories. From Jenelle Evans to Amber Portwood and beyond, there are more bad stories than good ones. But Farrah Abraham is one of the best examples of how teen motherhood does NOT have to ruin one's life.
For a long time, it seemed like Farrah was the least into motherhood of her peers, but once she got on board, she did so in a very good way. She has been brave enough to confront her grief over the death of Sophia's dad and to deal with her mother and their relationship. She went back to school, tried to keep up with her dreams, and generally devoted herself to being a good mom and making a good future. She is even an entrepreneur with her own hot sauce. Is it any wonder the young mom would say she feels like she is 38?
The fact is, she is doing really well.
It has been a long road, but it is for any mom. Farrah has impressed me with her devotion to maintaining a good relationship with her daughter while also furthering her education. Even Maci, who is another teen mom success story, hasn't done as well in this (she dropped a semester of classes).
When you have kids on the young end, it can feel like you are a bit older. I was much older than Farrah when I had my first at 29, but in my area of the country, I was on the younger end of things, so I relate.
More from The Stir: 'Teen Mom' Farrah Abraham Unleashes a Scary Sight of Life After MTV
There is no shame in feeling older as long as Farrah also gets to be 21, too. It's important that she lets off steam and makes silly mistakes and hangs out with her friends, too. That way when she is 35, she won't look back and feel like her entire youth was spent acting older.
That said, Farrah is a shining example that not all teen moms end up like Jenelle Evans or Amber Portwood. She has worked very hard to get where she is and she represents the best of what a person can do when they are highly motivated, smart, and focused on the right things.
It isn't all teen mom bashing! Sometimes credit is due, too!
Do you think Farrah is doing well?
Image via MTV
Oh yes she decides to get fake boobs and get a loan instead of worring about her daughter. Her parents have probably raised her daughter more than her!
Agree with the above posters. She's doing great because her parents supported her and gave her everything she needed to be successful. While I think that makes them good parents and I don't dislike her for that, I dislike her for the nasty attitude she had with her parents the entire time.
Granted, a lot of teenagers are ungrateful brats sometimes. I know I was. She just isn't all that likeable.
I'm sorry but I agree with most of the commentors here; Farrah is no where near being an example of a good mother. She is still in school and everything because her mother has provided her with a house, money, and childcare. I think Maci is a much better mother. Yes, Maci did have to drop a semester of school but she did that so she could take better care of Bently. Farrah only worries about herself and her own wants, not about Sophia.

In 1975, Jay Kogan's parents opened up a store that was literally a hall of frames—just a small store stacked with thousands of frames. At the time, they had no idea that that tiny corridor would expand to 12 locations throughout the greater Phoenix area, all still run by the Kogan family. Today, their shops have more than 4,500 custom frame options along with mats of all colors and textures, as well as seven glazing choices and expert assembly. They can answer framing questions and frame everything from documents and artwork to posters and small 3-D objects such as sports memorabilia and very still grandmothers.
When they custom-produce frames, the family cuts their mats exactly, miters frame corners precisely, and installs flawless glass. Or, since the stores' walls are lined with ready-made frames, customers can walk in and find what they're looking for quickly. Since installing framed art is an art unto itself, they also offer hanging services with an eye for placement and ability to install in difficult spaces.
With a light flick of the knob, a slow stream of balsamic vinegar flows from the spigot of a steel fusti at Outrageous Olive Oils and Vinegars. It's the final step in a process that began 18 years ago in Modena, Italy, where vinegar makers crushed trebbiano grapes and sealed them in wood barrels—the technique necessary for vinegar to earn a classification as traditional balsamic. These meticulous standards extend to the rest of Outrageous Olive Oils and Vinegars' elixirs. Owners John and Rayna recruit olive oil that has been cold-pressed, extracted without chemicals, and infused with all-natural flavors. Additionally, their expert staff are on hand to help customers navigate the shop's selection of 35 olive oils and vinegars, pointing out each bottle's country of origin, flavor notes, and messages written by castaways. They also draw on their own culinary expertise to suggest recipes and flavor pairings.
Lighting Unlimited is the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel for its clientele, with each of its four locations beaming with endless design possibilities born of a 5,000-strong stock of light bulbs and ballasts. A hefty catalog puts shoppers in easy reach of 50,000 more such accessories from more than 30 manufacturers, including Philips, Westinghouse, and Sylvania. Tasked with wrangling the multitude of fixtures, the staff of certified lighting specialists helps shoppers pinpoint specific bulbs and design lighting layouts for landscapes using underwater, directional, and putting-green fixtures. Complementing the luminescent selection, they feature an array of parts and accessories, including light sockets, colored gel sheets, and flashlights that have the power to make or break a shadow puppet's career with the flick of a switch.:m]]
For over 30 years, 3 Day Blinds' technicians have sift through samples and unreel measuring tapes during in-home consultations, custom-fitting abodes with blinds, shutters, and shades. They handcraft and cut treatments such as faux wood blinds, vertical blinds, and flexcell honeycomb blinds that reduce light and are energy efficient. As they tailor-make each order, the staffers dress windows of all shapes and sizes, from an arch above a doorway to a misshapen wormhole in the attic. All of 3 Day Blinds' products come with a limited lifetime warranty. After clients have made a selection, the team shows up just two days later to install the new window dressings or let customers do it themselves.
Kalologie 360 Spa's expert beauty gurus offer a first-class selection of pampering services, earning the franchise a spot on Elle magazine's 2008 list of Top 10 Beauty Boutiques. The staff exfoliates faces with more than 10 varieties of facials and peels, using the boutique's own line of products custom formulated from medical-grade ingredients free of parabens and sulfates. Therapists also treat clients with massage modalities such as Swedish, shiatsu, and deep-tissue, as well as waxing treatments that use specially formulated hard and soft wax for all areas of the body. Airbrush spray tans round out the menu of services, leaving bodies with a bronze hue similar to that achieved by bathing in a tub of melted-down doorknobs.
Sew from the Heart beats with owner Susie's passion for textiles and fashion cultivated during her more than 40 years as a seamstress. Together with husband Hank, a retired Air Force fighter pilot who traded brawny planes for delicate needles, she shares her love with the public via a menu of classes ranging from embroidery and quilting to garment creation. The husband-and-wife team teaches students sewing-machine and software use, and frequently leads workshops such as how to turn T-shirts into quilts and how to turn quilts into T-shirts for giants. Their spacious store also houses a seemingly endless array of sewing products, stocking kits with threads and fabrics or outfitting workshops with machines, books, and software.

It would be an understatement to say that Stanislaus County supervisors have a historic vote ahead of them Tuesday, as they decide whether to move forward with the PCCP West Park project.
No other project in Stanislaus County has riled up West Side residents in the past several decades as much as the proposed industrial center.
West Park's 4,800-acre proposal is bigger than the city of Patterson, and its inland port eventually would accept six trains per day from the Port of Oakland, where loads of container shipments would leave and return.
Regardless of the growth patterns facing the West Side's cities in the next three decades, this project alone would have a monumental impact on the area.
Though a county staff report regarding the project was not available as of press time Friday, county staff has said supervisors will at the very least vote on whether to accept a report of West Park's activities during the past three months. In addition, they are likely to vote on a memorandum of understanding.
Until the full EIR is available for the public review, supervisors should not enter into anything even remotely binding. They should decide on whether to continue the process with the developer, allowing work to start on a stringent state-mandated environmental review process that would outline potential problems and required mitigation measures. But they should not make any promises.
With all the work that has gone into the development process during the past year, it makes sense to allow more research to be done.
After all, there's been enough spin on both sides of this debate to keep truth-seekers dizzy. The most dependable sources have been consultants who have conducted nonbiased studies, and they say the viability and impacts of the project are not completely known. More work must be done to determine whether or not this is a good match for the West Side as the region changes in future years.
As supervisors take time on Earth Day to ponder the project's impacts, unanswered questions remain.
It is important to know specifically what water sources West Park will use, and what contingency plans will be in place if conveyance systems are shut down because of problems in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. In addition, it is imperative that the project does not take water away from nearby cities and local farmers.
Impacts from trains must be clearly understood. Concerns about trains blocking access for emergency vehicles traveling to east Patterson are legitimate, but without the impacts of switching and side track operations near Patterson's major crossings, how long a crossing can expect to be blocked at any one time may be overstated by local critics. Local air quality impacts and potential health concerns also must be considered. How will a project of this nature help or hinder development of jobs in Patterson's planned business parks?
Stanislaus County officials must continually hold West Park's feet to the fire. There already appears to be too much insider connectedness between West Park and a couple of supervisors. We need representatives who will ensure accountability for whichever developer and whatever final plan builds out on the Crows Landing Air Facility. We are even concerned about whether the company that will do the EIR has a truly arms-length relationship with all involved parties. If not, will the findings be perceived as legitimate? Perceived conflicts of interest will only muddy the waters.
Having listed those caveats, it still seems wise to let the investigation process continue. Despite the success of the Keystone Pacific Business Park, this region is short on jobs and long on commuters. West Park may be the answer. Or not. Residents will never truly get a scope of the entire picture unless the experts have a closer look and the public has all the information.

Go Time
My last order of business before any big race is a very simple, very symbolic one. After my final training run, I clear the memory of my stopwatch.
I typically let workouts accumulate on my watch for several weeks. It doesn't serve any practical purpose, but it's somewhat comforting to carry around a reminder of all the training I've been doing in case I ever want to reassure myself that I've been preparing well.
But today it was time to put that behind me. I did an easy 3-miler, then pressed the lower right button of my watch:
"Hold to clear last wrkout – hold to clear chrono mem".
Just like that, it was done. And just as quickly, I mentally shifted into race mode.
The past is now prologue. The real story begins Sunday morning.
This will be my last post until after the marathon. Thanks for everyone's encouragement this week.
See you on the other side.

Bacary Sagna reveals doubts about Arsenal transfer policy
Arsenal right-back Bacary Sagna has questioned the club's transfer policy.
The Gunners have let Robin van Persie and Alexander Song leave this summer following the exits of Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy last year.
Bacary Sagna
"In May, I watched Manchester City's parade on television. I watched Samir and Gael lift the trophy. It makes you want that"
"I expected Robin's departure," Sagna, 29, told French newspaper L'Equipe. "But Alex, that was a surprise. He's 24 and had three years on his contract.
"When you see your two best players from last season leave, you ask yourself questions."
Striker Van Persie was sold to Manchester United after saying he would not extend his Gunners contract beyond next summer, while Song left to join Barcelona.
"In the street, supporters sometimes come to see me. I can understand that they're annoyed. I'm like them - I don't understand everything," added Sagna.
Nasri and Clichy joined Manchester City in summer 2011 and went on to help the club win the Premier League title last season.
"In May, I watched Manchester City's parade on television. I watched Samir and Gael lift the trophy. It makes you want that," said the France international.
Sagna joined Arsenal from Auxerre in July 2007 and has made 205 appearances for the Gunners, although he is currently sidelined as he recovers from the broken leg he suffered against Norwich in May.
His own contract runs to the end of the 2013-14 season and when asked whether anyone at Arsenal had spoken to him about extending it, he replied: "No, nobody."

I expect he will be leaving Arsenal next summer. Even Arsenal's own players know how poor and ineffective Arsenal's transfer policy is and has been for the last few years and it will continue to be like that until Arsenal gets a new board of directors and a new manager to turn around Arsenal's current fortunes. Arsenal are going to be ending up as the next Liverpool very soon.

448* the 2 can be compared as a football club is a business exactly the same as any other business they look to run in profit or suffer the same fate as portsmouth and many others(unless they have financial backing)... its just on a higher scale. but thats not the point, the point is if you could get paid more for doing exactly the same job as u already were you would be a fool not to.

To 443 yes football is a job but can't be equated to barmen. Firstly pubs have to run at a profit and your triple wages would soon bring your new employer to the point of bankruptcy. ManC don't have problem unless FFP is enforced then we would see how good these clubs are. Arsenal sell players every year that's because they've got quality but won't pay £200k+ let's see what happens next year.

Paul Buckmaster
Paul John Buckmaster (born in 1946 London) is a Grammy Award-winning English artist, arranger and composer.
He began learning the cello at the age of 4 and graduated from the Royal Academy of Music at age 21.[1]
He is perhaps best known for his orchestral collaborations with Elton John. He has displayed professional mastery as a cellist but he has also worked as an arranger on various hit songs, including David Bowie's Space Oddity (1969), and helped Miles Davis with the preparation of On the Corner. He was involved in the studio sessions which he did the arrangements for but Miles would often just ask him to hum bass lines and rhythms and then the musicians would then just take off. The arrangements he wrote were often used as a starting point which were then transformed until what was being played bore no resemblance to what he had written. This was in keeping with the Stockhaussian approach that Buckmaster had been discussing with Miles in the weeks leading up to the session.
Buckmaster also played with Bowie and his band in the recordings for the original soundtrack to the science fiction film The Man Who Fell To Earth, in which David Bowie starred as Thomas Jerome Newton. Buckmaster himself told in the book 60 Years Of Bowie that he had played cello on the original soundtrack recordings. Also Carlos Alomar, J. Peter Robinson and others were involved. Buckmaster: "There were a couple of medium tempo rock instrumental pieces, with simple motifs and rifly kind of grooves, with a line-up of David's rhythm section (Carlos Alomar et al) plus J Peter Robinson on Fender Rhodes and me on cello and some synth overdubs, using ARP Odyssey and Solina. There was also a piece I wrote and performed using some beautifully made mbiras (African thumb pianos) I had purchased earlier that year, plus cello, all done by multiple overdubbing." Later film-director Nicholas Roeg decided not to use the recordings but existing songs as soundtrack for the movie.
In film, Buckmaster composed the original score for Terry Gilliam's science fiction hit 12 Monkeys (Universal, 1995), which starred Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe and Brad Pitt.
Buckmaster won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) for Drops of Jupiter.[2]

UME Toys has been one seriously busy guy, pumping out customs and resin multiples left and right... and today he is sharing with us his latest creation. It's a custom Toy2R Qee Bunny - made to look like the loveable James Sulley from Pixar's 'Monsters Inc.'!!! This figure turned out great, and not only does it look like Sulley, but it has that trademark UME Toys look and feel as well... fantastic! If you like him, he will be up for grabs on Wednesday the 19th of September over on umetoys.net - and yes, he will come complete with a UME resin display base as seen in the above photo!

Dear Madam or Sir,Jeepers Jeters! It's gotten late, and it's not even early. We've already lost three hitters (Arod, Grandy, Tex) a starter (Hughes), and two bullpen lugnuts (Logan, Rappata). And the china dolls (Gardner, Youk, Joba, Hafner) are awaiting Tweak One. We're talking about pulling Derrick Lee out of retirement. We're penciling Ronnier Mustellier at 3B. (Which he couldn't do for Scranton.) Lately, we've heard a drunk-dial chorus calling for the Yankees to trade prospects for a new geezer.The line goes this way: Two years ago, we could have gotten a vintage 1983 Roy Smalley sedan for Andrew Brackman. Now, he wouldn't bring us a pepperoni pizza. Thus, we should trade Mason Williams and Slade Heathcott now, before they fracture their skulls on a wall, and they won't be zeros in the ledger. Chase Chase Headley in San Diego. He can play 3B. All we need do is empty the Trenton roster.You began your career watching George Steinbrenner push Yan...

Above average temperatures and dry temperatures in the western two-thirds of Nebraska have limited pasture growth and continued to stress spring planted crops.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said in its weekly report Monday that 78 percent of the corn is being rated good or excellent and 19 percent fair. Three percent is being rated as in poor condition.
Soybeans are 97 percent emerged, slightly behind the 99 percent average. Only 2 percent of the crop was blooming, falling behind the average 9 percent. According to the report, 78 percent of the soybean crop is good or excellent and 20 percent fair. Only 2 percent is poor.
A few southern wheat fields in Nebraska have been cut. Harvest is expected to gain momentum in southern counties in the coming days. The Panhandle wheat harvest is at least two weeks away.
The Kansas winter wheat harvest hit the 57 percent mark on as of Sunday.
National Agricultural Statistics Service said harvest is lagging
behind the 99 percent completed last year at the same time. This year's harvest is also lagging behind the average June completion rate of 67 percent.
Cutting was delayed this year by cool weather that delayed the wheat's maturity. The agency says just 85 percent of the wheat is now ripe. By this time a year ago, the entire crop was ripe.
The condition of wheat still in the field is being rated as 43 percent poor to very poor, 24 percent fair and 33 percent good to excellent.

OBJECTIVE: The prevalence of mental illness and substance abuse in
homeless populations has been studied primarily in large urban areas. This
study examines a sheltered homeless population in two counties of
lower-density population, Dauphin and Cumberland counties in central
Pennsylvania, to assess the prevalence of mental illness and substance
abuse. METHODS: A total of 81 homeless adults from nine emergency shelters
were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. RESULTS: The estimated
lifetime prevalence rate of major depressive disorder was 26.6 percent; 6.4
percent of the sample showed evidence of psychotic thinking. Almost
one-third reported previous hospitalization for emotional problems, and
about one-third reported a suicide attempt. The estimated lifetime
prevalence rate of alcohol or drug abuse or dependence was almost 60
percent. CONCLUSIONS: Although mental illness, especially psychosis, and
substance abuse may be somewhat less prevalent among homeless persons in
lower-density population areas than in large urban areas, they are
nevertheless significant problems.

Qualitative Values in a Quantitative World:
Changing My Mind (A Little)
by Mark E. Jensen, Ph.D.
The editors have asked some of us to say, in a relatively short space, some things that are on our minds as we are "mid-career." I heard a fine address by Maxine Glaz a couple of years ago, as she was looking at retirement, the title of which included the phrase "Making Up My Mind". Her focused topic (psychopathology) was quite different than these reflections, but there is a similar theme. I want to offer some comments about how my mind continues to be made up on one aspect of the intersections of religion and medicine.
If I've learned anything since I left graduate school, it is the pervasiveness of social location and context on the concerns one has, and the ways they get framed and worked out. While no one wants their ideas to be accounted for (or minimized) simply by a set of categories (white, male, etc.), perhaps no one should be writing without a word to readers about some of the important contexts which shape and inform them. When I wrote my dissertation, I was interested in how people came to sense of purpose, or vocation, in the world. Academically, I was interested in how pastoral theology and theological ethics might have a more fruitful dialogue, particularly through the exploration of narrative. The clinical context in which I was working then was as a chaplain to a cancer unit. I was convinced that the context of terminal illness (or a diagnosis that often symbolized terminal illness) was not "unique," but perhaps epistemologically privileged: these persons had a lot to teach the rest of us if we knew how to listen.
My day to day professional life today is as an educator, a clinician, and an occasional researcher/writer. I help supervise students in a large Clinical Pastoral Education program at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. I teach in a new Divinity School and an old Religion Department, both at Wake Forest University. I do some pastoral counseling, and I do some collaborative research with interdisciplinary colleagues (physicians, psychologists, public health academics) at the Medical Center. Related to the research portion of my work, I serve on the Institutional Review Board for the medical center, a group responsible for reviewing research involving human subjects. I do education at the crossroads of science and the humanities, graduate and undergraduate curricula, academic and professional curricula. I am married to an educator (a public school master teacher of learning disabled students). We are parents to two daughters, ages 15 and 12, whose headlong investment in the world gives us pause, joy, and high mileage.
While I was born and reared a Southern Baptist, the denominational wars that began in the late 1970s eventually gave me the gift of my leaving that denomination to wander in the creative wilderness of liberal baptist dissenters.
Now, about those things on my mind.
Researching Religion and Health
in an Academic Medical Center
Most of my training and many of my instincts, both academic and clinical, in the conversation between ethics, psychology, religion, and things medical, are in the conversation between Christian theology and the depth psychologies, the humanistic psychologies, the transpersonal psychologies, and the contemplative Christian tradition. In the last dozen years or so, a lively literature, both popular and academic, has sprung up purporting to combine religion, or spirituality, and medicine. Some of the "early" wave of this literature (around 1990) came from epidemiological research and literature reviews that set out to demonstrate: 1) that religion (later broadened to spirituality) had been left out and/or maligned in the medical literature; 2) that religion (briefly and variously defined) showed some positive health effects. Following and alongside this literature came a movement to educate physicians not to ignore the religion of their patients. This movement held that physicians should know how important religious resources were to their patients. Some wanted physicians to know how to listen to spiritual concerns that affected medical treatment. Some wanted religious histories to be part of the standard medical interview. Some wanted physicians to be able and willing to utilize religious resources (such as prayer) with their patients.
Although I was on an interdisciplinary team that won early funding from the Templeton Foundation to address these issues in medical school curriculum, for several reasons I sometimes found myself in a curmudgeonly mode in these discussions. First, I thought the ways in which "religion" was measured in the epidemiological studies had little depth, texture, or sophistication. Second, I feared that physicians would go from neglect of the topic to a kind of triumphalism that would lead them to believe they could master or had mastered subtle assessments related to their patients' inner worlds. Third, I found discussions of the ethics of physician-patient relationship, particularly the issues of professional or role-based power, absent or glossed in the rush to have physicians attend to their patients' spiritual needs. Fourth, my clinical work put me in immediate touch with persons whose experiences with religion had been abusive or conflicted; I knew the methods of the epidemiological studies were not yielding those findings, and the zealots "rehabilitating" the image of religion in the medical world didn't want to hear it. Fifth, the literature that was emerging evidenced almost no knowledge of or concern with the history and contributions of the psychology of religion. Finally, currents in pastoral theology, with the help of feminist and liberationist critical theologies, were moving to radical understandings of the socially constructed nature of all linguistic systems. Pastoral theology was composing in a postmodern key, and few things partake of modernist paradigms more than the canons of medical research (whether in epidemiology or clinical trials).
But didn't I say I wanted to describe how my mind was changing? Well, here's how. I'm realizing that few people in an academic medical center care to engage discussions about postmodern epistemologies (even if they are affected by them--witness the boom in complementary therapies), the unconscious, or splits in God and self-representations. I decided that being more conversant and involved in empirical (modernist) efforts to explore the relationship between spirituality, religion, and health, was the best way to influence the discussion in this context.
Perhaps such a stance reflects less a change in mind as a change in strategy. But just as the personal is always political, so the political becomes personal. I have become involved in several modest research initiatives across the medical center exploring this "new" old frontier. In each case, our team is exploring some question via measurement through surveys of attitudes, religious coping styles, religiosity/spirituality. In two of the three cases, these measures of something religious are being correlated with a health outcome of one type or another. In the one case where health outcomes are not measured, we are seeking to find when and how religious/spiritual ideas, practices, or values come into play in end of life decisions in an intensive care setting. In all three of the projects in which I am involved, important clinical questions are being pursued.
What am I learning? First, I am learning that the involvement across disciplines in a joint project is more important than the particular research method being used. That said, my ticket to a seat on these teams comes only in part from my being a minister/chaplain interested in these matters. It comes from being conversant (notice I did not say expert) in the methods of empirical correlational research methods. That has required some brushing up on matters of design and statistical analysis. In the doing of these projects, connections are made that transcend either method or finding of the particular study. When that happens, professionals, disciplines, and ultimately persons entrusted to our care benefit.
Second, I've rediscovered that a rigorous statistical analysis often has a capacity not only to lead us to accept or reject the null hypothesis, but to present surprises (often first seen as "anomalies" or "outliers") that confront our biases, and lead us to look again. While in some ways quite different from my clinical involvements, I keep experiencing a remarkable parallel to my love of the intrapersonal and interpersonal surprises that emerge in pastoral conversation, tapping us on the shoulder with an impish grin or threatening grimace.
Does that mean that chaplaincy is becoming or should become, as Larry Vandecreek suggests, an evidence-based profession instead of a tradition-based profession? Larry and I have lively conversations about this, and I have to give him enormous credit for framing the question this way. I still find myself somewhat uneasy with that proposal (subject for another essay on another day), but I will agree that we have not yet begun to see half of the benefit from utilizing empirical, correlational methods in our theory building and work with other professionals. Being bi-lingual gives one credibility beyond the "safer" approach of remaining smugly tucked in our methodological compounds wishing the world would come see what we have to offer.
As the current discussion in medical literature about spirituality and health is beginning to enter a more sophisticated phase, here is the main lesson for me. The most effective "intervention" (a phrase which, in my most curmudgeonly and postmodern mode I object to) is the one that has physician, social scientist, chaplain, and pastoral theologian struggling together to answer tough questions. We find common ground in our most compassionate humanism, not in our ideological or methodological commitments. My search for an all-embracing theory (better than mere modernist empiricism) is my problem, or hobby, or idiosyncrasy, and need not be inflicted on persons not so inclined.
And no, I don't have to leave behind my other favorite theories or concerns. My old interest in ethics, narrative, theology, and illness lives. Standing behind and alongside some of the research in which I am now involved is a profound appreciation for the work of Arthur Frank in his book The Wounded Storyteller. Frank writes with both wonderful style and an intellect and consciousness quite conversant with postmodern insights and conundrums. He sees the body as gift, medium, and problem (and implicitly challenges medicine and theology to come to grips more clearly with these realities). With appreciation for the achievements of modernist medicine, he eloquently documents the dilemmas of persons constructing identity in and through illness. Their plight is often "narrative wreckage." The wreckage occurs not only because of the interruption and devastation that illness can cause, but because modernist medicine becomes the sole author of the story--the ill person gets deprived of voice. The "restitution narrative" is the form of the story most preferred by medicine, culture, and patients seeking relief. Here's the rub: it doesn't always work, and it is a story written entirely by medicine. The only possible role for the patient in such a story is compliance. What happens when cure is not possible? Frank documents and argues for the existence of two other narrative forms: the chaos narrative and the quest narrative.
Lest I convert this into a review of Frank's book, I will return to the point it helps me make. He gives language to intuitions and realities many of us see and work with. His wonderfully textured argument cannot be translated or reduced to a logistic regression analysis, or can it? Of course it cannot, but the consciousness sensitized by methods, insights, and narratives like his can inform one or more of the persons at the table working on clinical problems, even if they are working on them in a modernist empirical mode.
After all, data only has meaningful life when woven into theory. The difference between useful theory and good narrative is less than meets the eye, and our culture needs clinicians in whose eyes, hearts, and minds narrative, theory, and data can have a useful meeting.
Dr. Mark Jensen is Chaplain Supervisor at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, Adjunct Professor in the WFU Religion Department, and Adjunct Professor of Pastoral Care for the WFU Divinity School. He is also currently the Chair of the Mid-Atlantic Region of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education. His doctoral dissertation, completed in 1988, is titled "A Pastoral Theological Study of Vocation."
