text: one of the things about going places is that you never go to as many places as you want to or do as many things as you want to do. At &now I talked about women and animals and presented research into my question: are they real? Wondering now if I could/should have talked about the different ways to get to that question. I realized, listening to folks discussing metaphor, that so many things are already so deconstructed in my mind that I often have to reconstruct and/or remember them to follow the conversation. Like the thing about language and metaphor. I kept thinking…but *all* words are metaphor. The word "bench" is bound to a bench, not because the material of bench-ness emanates a particular, specific word, but because that word gets made and bound to it and conventionally associated with it and its like this semiotic conjugation as all signs are conjugations, multiples. And so, for me, asking about whether things are "real" is this very layered, multiplied question. Part of what I wish I had said has to do with the connection between "reality" and the construction of knowledge — a critique, really, of the subject/object relationship, or empiricism. It's also a question about mutuality…not a mirror, but a "being with" that, independent of anything else, honors the manifestation of the many materials and selves that are always plastic, always changing, but may be perceived, held, engaged…and the question is how we create/enter that moment, that engagement, and whether or not this is some version of the real.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (May 2, 2012) – Rutgers women's lacrosse senior midfielder Ali Steinberg (Suffern, N.Y.) was named to the All-BIG EAST First Team, while junior midfielder Stephanie Anderson (Wading River, N.Y.) was named to the All-BIG EAST Second Team, the conference announced on Wednesday.
"I'm very thankful for everything my teammates have done for me, and they are a big part of this award," said Steinberg. "I couldn't have asked for a better season with this team. I also owe a lot to Coach (Brand-Sias) and would like to thank her as well. I'm honored to be recognized."
"I am very honored to receive this award," said Anderson. "My teammates have contributed so much in order for me to be successful this season, and I'm extremely thankful for their support."
Steinberg paced the squad with 48 points on 32 goals and 16 assists. The midfielder – who was a unanimous preseason All-BIG EAST selection – added 38 draw controls, 21 ground balls and 16 caused turnovers. Steinberg ranked fourth in the league in free position goals per game (0.88) and eighth in points per game (3.00).
Anderson scored 41 goals to lead the team, adding five assists for 46 points. The junior added 19 ground balls in 16 starts.

The university settled with the man known as Victim 5 during court proceedings, who was sexually abused by assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
WASHINGTON — Pennsylvania State University has agreed to a settlement with a 25-year-old man who was sexually abused by former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky in a campus shower, the man's attorney said late on Saturday.
It is the first of 26 claims to be finalized in the Sandusky scandal, Philadelphia attorney Tom Kline said. A lawyer for the university said closure on the remaining lawsuits was imminent.
Penn State settles with first of Sandusky's victims
Kline declined to give details of the settlement but the university has approved spending $60 million for the payouts.
The man, known as Victim 5 in court proceedings, was assaulted by Sandusky in August 2001, six months after then-graduate assistant Michael McQueary reported to university officials that he saw Sandusky rape a boy in a campus shower.
"My client is relieved," Kline said in a telephone interview. "He was dragged into this as someone who had a knock on the door from the state police. He didn't seek this out."
The settlement was reached Friday, he said. It was first reported Saturday by the Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper.
Related: Penn State's board authorizes Sandusky settlements
Sandusky was convicted last year on 45 counts of abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period. Sandusky, 69, was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison in a case that tarnished the reputation of late Penn State coach Joe Paterno and focused national attention on child sexual abuse.
Because the assault occurred so soon after the McQueary report and took place on campus, Victim 5's case was considered pivotal in reaching a settlement with other victims, Kline said.
The man testified both in the trial and in Sandusky's sentencing hearing.
Kline said he had reached the deal for a year with Michael Rozen, a lawyer hired by the university to help settle the cases. The newspaper had interviewed Rozen and Kline about the settlement.
Rozen told the Inquirer that lawyers in the other 25 suits had received the paperwork for settlements and their signoff was expected to be imminent. He said the settlement with Victim 5 was one of the highest negotiated because of its circumstances.
Related: Who's who in Penn State sex abuse scandal
Rozen told the newspaper that under the terms of the settlements, the victims have agreed not to pursue other suits against Penn State or the Second Mile, Sandusky's charity through which he met many of the victims.
They also have agreed to cede their right to sue Second Mile to the university, which plans to go to court to try to get the charity's insurer to reimburse the university for some of the claims.
Kline said the accord would be good for both victims and Penn State. The victims would get closure and the university would "have an open road to recovery of a good portion of this from insurers," he said.
Former university President Graham Spanier and two other university officials face trial on charges of failing to report and act on the abuse in the 2001 case reported by McQueary.

text: A request has been made by lawyers for a Jerry Sandusky sex abuse victim who is suing Penn State for millions of documents gathered and reviewed by Louis Freeh. The lawyers are also seeking the names of everyone Freeh interviewed, the police file about the investigation into Sandusky showering with their client in 1998, and every single document the university gave to the grand jury investigating Sandusky and three ex-administrators. More than 30 specific requests for records have been made in the discovery phase of the federal lawsuit brought against Penn State by the young man known as Victim 6 from the Sandusky case.

If you plan to use options spreads, you will discover that they have some major advantages over outrights. In fact, the full power of options as a trading vehicle doesn't really become known until you develop a good understanding of the workings of spreads. Most importantly, the selling side of option spreads has the greatest potential because you can profit from both time value decay and leverage of holding a long option in, for example, a diagonal spread. Even if using debit spreads, however, there are excellent hidden advantages mostly overlooked by novice traders. Certain debit spreads, for instance, can give you the ability to profit from time value decay (on a short out of the money leg) and potentially gain on the long side (from an in-the-money leg).
Risk reduction that is greater than the reduction in potential reward, ideally, means that you develop a trading advantage. Spreads offer that possibility if done correctly. Overall, given the ideas presented here, you should be able to expand your available trading options, and provide yourself with further opportunities for a payoff in the long run.

WEEK 4 of my BACKNESS UPDATE: OK the store is still closed and no closer to auctions BUT I'm making great headway on Sluggy Freelance Book 14! It's going to be big, and contain everything from the end of "That Which Redeems 2" up until around the start of "Oceans Unmoving 2"! It's all laid out and I'm down to designing cover, title page and the "where we last left our heroes" recap page. The bonus story I haven't settled on just yet.
But yeah, so I AM doing something! ;) Auctions and store reopening soon I hope!
ALSO CONTRA-26!!! November 7th -9th in the Kansas City area!
I know I've been a little off with my German in this story but I think I nailed it on the file folder in panel 5!
I'M BACK! After a couple months of 3 days a week it's nice to go back to 5. But I must admit it was nice having the midnight deadline off my back 4 nights out of 7. I didn't get as much done as I would have liked, but I did manage to maintain the schedule despite multiple trips, a convention and a bedridden-for-a-week flu.
A couple of things. First off: Contra-26. November 7th -9th in the Kansas City area! "a Sci-fi/Fantasy-themed relaxacon for those 21 and up: Minimal programming with maximum enjoyment!" And Jason Carter will be there! I haven't been on stage with him (and the late Richard Biggs) since the Dragon*Con 'Whose Line is It' in 2002. Joe Sunday made me into a little teapot, short and stout. I have yet to get my revenge on Joe Sunday. Thanks to my buddy Jeff Darlington for keeping the memories alive!
Next up: We're back from INTERVENTION5!
Leah had such a tremendous time there I think she was floating off the ground about a foot for a day or two. She got a lot of commissions and just enjoyed selling her sharpie bunnies for a quarter (I swear the cheap bunnies were a gateway drug that lead to over half her commissions!). And it was totally her idea. I set up my chunk of the table and was off for my first panel as the dealer room opened. I came back to her having a nice setup complete with signage. *sniff* proud papa. She even did a podcast interview, I'll have to find a link to that when it's out (not yet). We stuck around after the con for a few days and toured DC. Long past due, THANKS m/w/f mode!
Now I promised all you guys that we'd do an auction for some of Leah's art since it's unfair so many of you couldn't attend Intervention 5, but it might be a week or two. She's started High School and needs to complete some art for the auction.
Lastly, if you missed it, I'm BACK! Lets get these marshmallows toasted!
OK so the comics for Wednesday (August 27th) and Friday (August 29th) were totally spoiled for the Intervention attendees of the Sluggy Freelance panel last weekend.
Before leaving for Intervention I trashed my scripts for Wednesday on, because of "a reason" (have to remain cryptic here). I was so sure I would not use those scripts that I felt comfortable 'spoiling' them.
And of course Murphy's Law steps in and makes me go with the original scripts (with admittedly slight alterations).
Let me say to those Sluggites in the audience I 'found a way' around 'the reason', and we'll leave it at that.
Actually, when I'm feeling better (currently sick) I'll do a Defenders Blog on the length and breadth of the spoilers along with the scan I doodled during the 'get oFf My Lawn' panel and was going to use as Wednesday Filler if I didn't come up with anything.
Also soon more news about how Leah did at Intervention. Spoilers- It was awesome for her. I think she floated a foot off the ground for much of it.

The first series of these animated Jedi scraps entertained the kiddies, tantalised the fanboys and deservedly snagged an Emmy. Season Two did it all again but shook up the formula, upping from three-minute shorts to 12-minute mini-movies. And thanks to this development, Star Wars: Clone Wars finally clicks.
The biggest lure is the fights - the action exquisitely rendered, witty and breathless, all drawn-out glares and chop-socky swish. Sadly, when Jedi aren't kicking Separatist-droid arse, the same problems that riddled the prequels arise: Padmé is useless, the dialogue clunks and Anakin's a sulky teenager.
BEST BIT: Yoda and Mace Windu send legions of enemy droids flying using the Force.

|This article or section is incomplete. Some information regarding this topic has not been added. Please help TMNTPedia by finishing this article.
The Lost Episodes, or Ninja Tribunal Season, is the fifth season of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003).
The forces of evil attempt to bring back the True Shredder. This season focused on a new threat presented by another version of the Shredder said to be the original legendary villain Oroku Saki from feudal Japan. The Turtles were then asked by the Ninja Tribunal (a group of warriors who seek to combat this ancient, "Demon" Shredder) to train alongside several human warriors to become strong enough to battle the Shredder. This involved the Turtles gaining new weapons, learning how to channel their chi into powerful projectiles, and finding their inner animal spirit. This season marked the end of the use of the original character designs and format.
Main Characters
- Ninja Tribunal
- Ninja Tribunal Acolytes
- Master Splinter
- Ancient One
- April O'Neil
- Casey Jones
- Justice Force
- Justice Force Trainees
- Tengu Shredder
- Foot Mystics
- Earth Protection Force
- Foot Clan
- Hun
This was original going to be the fifth season, continuing the storyline from Season 4. It was shelved in favor of the Fast Forward. Selected episodes of the Lost Season began airing on 4Kids' on demand channels on August 9, 2006, but have since disappeared. The episodes began airing on the 4KidsTV on February 9, 2008.[1]

Oh Turtle, your daddy and I love you so much.
The last 24 hours have been interesting. Caleb and I got home from his sleep study yesterday at 6 a.m. We were both pretty tired from the night before but I was glad to have it done and over with. The tech said it was successful but we wouldn't know any results for about two weeks.
We both fell back asleep, so grateful to be home. I slept for a bit and then called Caleb's doctor because a plugged tear duct got infected over the weekend and on Tuesday night, the pus had blood in it. (Sorry to be gross but it's important later on.)
I took Madeline to preschool and Caleb and I headed over to BSF. He slept through most of it and I was wishing I could do the same. Some days I want to be carried around in a giant car seat with a warm fleece cover. Yesterday was one of those days.
We picked up Madeline and Blake from preschool and headed to Blake's house for a bit while Jenn picked up her tickets to Jimmy Fallon. (So jealous.)
Before we went to the doctor's office, we had to stop at Target to pick up diapers.
Know what's the worst possible time to try out cloth diapers? It's when your baby starts having crazy, multicolored diarrhea from switching to a new medicine, gets an infected eye and then has a sleep study. So many diapers to be washed. So little time to wash them. Dumb timing.
At the appointment, the doctor confirmed that the infection was definitely worse and put him on a stronger antibiotic to clear it up quickly so the infection wouldn't travel to his ears or anywhere else.
When Joe got home at 5:30 p.m., I immediately handed off both kids and crashed into bed. I was wiped.
Then just after 6 p.m., I woke up to a call from Caleb's doctor. We had to go immediately to the hospital. The preliminary results of the sleep study had too many abnormalities for him to sleep unmonitored. It was shocking and initially felt devastating.
My parents picked up Madeline, we stuffed a few things in a bag, sped up the road in tears and walked into a room prepared for him, all within 45 minutes.
We felt better after talking to the doctor here. While his sleep study wasn't good, the actual numbers on the report (whatever they are for) weren't in the doctor's hand so no one knows how bad the study was. Also, if Caleb is fighting a virus because of the eye infection, the sleep study could be inaccurate. Staying at the hospital last night was more precautionary than anything else.
The good news is Caleb slept really well last night, had good oxygen levels and didn't have any sleep apnea episodes. I'm really really hoping it was just a bad study.
Right now, we're waiting for the actual study results to get to the pulmonologist at the hospital. We're also waiting to see if Caleb shows any other signs of fighting a virus.
Depending on the new information that's coming, he'll have tests run today and we might be here for a bit. We really just don't know at this point.
But thankfully, he's an overall strong and healthy boy. We are so so thankful for that.
Please pray for the doctors and wisdom for them to determine what to do, pray for Caleb to get better if he is fighting a virus and pray that Joe and I can clearly process everything they tell us.
I'll keep updating if I can when we get new information.
Love my Touchdown Turtle.

• Adelaide United 2-2 Melbourne Victory
Melbourne Victory climbed from the canvas to steal a 2-2 away draw against Adelaide United on Friday night.
The Victory scored twice in the final 15 minutes to share the spoils before a record A-League crowd in Adelaide of 16,504 spectators at Coopers Stadium.
The Reds, with Sergio Cirio scoring from a questionable penalty and Jeronimo Neumann tapping-in from close range, appeared set to bank consecutive home wins to open their campaign.
But Melbourne substitute Guilherme Finkler scored in the 79th minute and James Troisi equalised three minutes before full-time in a pulsating match.
Melbourne and their coach Ange Postecoglou, in possibly his last match in charge of the Victory should he take the Socceroos job, could have won if not for bad first-half luck.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — This will be the first year that illegal immigrant Maria Praeli can consider going to college full-time.
While that once seemed impossible to afford, the 18-year-old high school student can qualify for in-state tuition at Connecticut's public universities under a new law.
The measure reduces tuition costs by as much as $17,000 annually for undocumented students such as Praeli, a rising senior at New Milford High School.
Connecticut is now among 12 states, including New York and Illinois, that grant in-state tuition to illegal immigrants who are working toward legal status.
Advocates say as many as 250 illegal immigrants in the state could take advantage of the law change within the next year.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, a Democrat, was holding a ceremonial bill signing for the measure today.
Wow, break the law then get rewarded for it. Only in America.
Wow!! How I'd love to have this benefit as a LEGAL citizen of this country...Niles - you said it right!! First you can kill your child and get away with it, now you can get discounted tuition towards a higher education when you entered this country illegally. How I bet there are many citizens of this country that would love to go to school to further their education! Crazy
That's B.S. they Need To send all these illegals Back to there own country, why should America & Americans, Suffer because of them.. They Get Everything here free never having to pay anything back, While we do have to pay back every red cent. They Get FREE Housing, Food Stamps, Welfare, Break The Law Over & Over. There Is No Jobs, So Many Companies have Gone Under But Still We Are The Land Of The Free For All The Immigrants that come here and steal from us. . We need jobs & education for our people, i could care less for them, i don't care what country they come from, take care of the USA before anybody else... We Have People Starving In this Country. Are Native Americans Get Nothing, No help, Starving, Horrible housing But Yet Our Government Hands Millions Over To Other Countries, This Is Indian Country Not Immigrants. Why Should True Born Americans Suffer For Someone Else. This is Pure B.S.
"The measure reduces tuition costs by as much as $17,000 annually for undocumented students "
Is this great or what ? How many who are grandchildren of immigrants who came here legally many years ago get that kind of break . . ..
Ahhhhhh Conn., Illinois, and New York.. Three of the most liberal States and three of of brokest. Wonder why?
Wait a minute...stop the presses...hold on...let me get this straight...they have broken a federal law and should be deported immediately, but yet they are being offered free tuition?
What gum shoe, knuckelheaded politician thought this one up? How can they possibly justify this to the taxpayers who will be footing the bill for this?
This is insane!
We are saying we are placing more importance to those who illegally enter our country than those who were born here and need assistance.
Does that make any sense to you?
Actually, most of the people who will benefit from this were brought here as children or even babies by their parents and are now working toward legal status. But you guys don't care about pesky details or circumstances, do you? Just deport them all all and be done with it, right? That's the American Way.
This is not a free education, and it is something that's available to every Connecticut resident. These students, whose tax dollars support state universities (yes, illegal immigrants pay taxes), will pay the same as all residents of the state for higher education. Furthermore, this will help create a more educated population and will allow these people to become active, productive, and legal members of our society rather than continue to live in the shadows. This is a good thing!
The Northeast is heavily Progressive. Why should this legislation to aid the "undocumented" students be a surprise to anyone?
There was a time when you arrived at Ellis Island and held your breath until you cleared the physical and interview; then, hopefully, your sponsor arrived to vouch for you.
Draconian? NO! You had to want to be here, to become an American. Citizenship meant something then; now, it's just an inconvenience to the illegals.
The education these "undocumented" (illegals) will get is that being an American citizen "ain't so much" and that we are all "citizens of the world".
We have seen the Balkans...and they are us.
To "city dweller" and all those who feel illegal aliens have rights simply because they pay "taxes" - it is an injustice to American citizens as well as legal immigrants, who have gone thru the legal process of becoming permanent residents. Benefits such as reduced tuitions, health care, welfare and unemployment pay should NOT be available to undocumented, illegal aliens. Believe me, this is happening millions of times in our country and we need it to stop. Paying taxes is not enough to overcome the expense of the burdeon. The burdeon of the benefits is paid by the compilation of taxes paid by many, as in you, me and our neighbors and friends, but we are spending more than we pay into it. Adding an illegal alien to this burdeon compounds the need beyond our ability to pay.
This is the only way we are going to stop the inflow of illegals and just one step in the process of getting our country back on its feet. People who feel otherwise are only hurting themselves and their children.
We cannot afford to be the giver of free care, tuitions and other benefits to those who simply cross our borders and set up a household. No other country in the world allows it, why should we. If we went to Mexico and tried this, we would be thrown in jail. If we went to Canada and tried this, we would be deported. Why...because they cannot afford to take on the added burdeon. Neither can we. We are borrowing money from China and Japan just to pay our bills, and soon we will not be able to even pay the interest on the loan. Allowing more and more illegal aliens to set up households in America is no longer an option...it is the death of our nation.
city_dweller - What part of "illegal" is so difficult to grasp? Willfully and knowingly breaking the law should have consequences, not rewards.
This is what the Masters and owners of our government want.
And our "elected" servants to their Master are obeying and complying with their Master's orders, rules, laws...
If they didn't willfully obey, comply and propogate their Master's Orders, they, our "elected" servants, would not have a chance to be elected in the first place.
Our "elected" public servants don't serve the public. They serve their Master, Who owns our government and THEM.
If these undocumented aliens really want to become productive citizens and help turn our country around, they should declare themselves and begin the process of paying for their legal documentation and permanent residence. Generally, as I understand it, this process could cost about $2,000 out-of-pocket for each. If they require representation, this figure could be doubled. With some 11 million undocumented illegals, this cost could be a substantial boost to our federal coffers, as well as our economy. Some may end up being deported and some may end up in jail, but those are the ones we want out of here.
If undocumented aliens want to share in our national bounties, they need to step up and do the right thing for themselves and our country if they want these bounties to continue.
And what part of most of these college students were babies and children when their parents brought them here don't you understand? This is the only home they've known, and I'm not cold and heartless enough to dismiss that very integral fact. Yes, I knowingly and willfully would rather they pursue an affordable education while pursuing citizenship, than be dumped across the border in a country they have no connection to, or worse, be subjected to threats and intimidation for the rest of their lives by employers and landlords out to exploit their illegal status.
city_dweller - They should do what everybody else legally here has done - make the effort to obtain citizenship. The immigration process has been around for hundreds of years, so it's not something new that is being imposed on people by heartless bureaucrats.

He spoke in public and testified before Congress more than two dozen times last year to explain control systems security to technical and general audiences. He also directed DHS teams that conducted more than 50 assessments and were dispatched 13 times to investigate and help correct cyber incidents and attacks on critical infrastructure. Some of those incidents involved the Stuxnet worm, a sophisticated and targeted piece of malware that was designed to interfere with the operation of machinery at Iran's nuclear power plants.
McGurk's in-depth knowledge and ability to explain complex technology have put him at the forefront of the investigation and public discussion of emerging cyber threats.

Bicycling Review
Issue : Jul 2007
Editorial Review
HIGHS: Carbon-fiber particles in the fabric of Louis Garneau's newest bib (also available in a short ($170) provide a claimed 50 percent increase in moisture transfer compared to standard polyester, and they prevent odor-causing bacteria. New 3-D knitting construction not only resists snags and abrasions but also creates a texturized outside surface for improved temperature regulation. Ten-panel construction provides a great fit and the Power gripper leg (without silicon or tight elastic) is comfortable but won't squeeze your leg so tightly that it starts to look like a stuffed sausage. LG's Airgel chamois is elastic and moves with your body, and even on the longest rides never gave us the dreaded monkey butt.
LOWS: We tried the shorts first but the waist rides uncomfortably high-go with the bibs.

Attorney General Kane: Give WISELY to help the victims of the Oklahoma storms
HARRISBURG - In the wake of yesterday's devastation in Oklahoma, Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane today urged all Pennsylvanians to be cautious and prudent with their charitable giving.
"Our hearts go out to the families of those who were killed or lost their homes in these terrible storms," said Kane. "Pennsylvanians are generous and they will surely want to help the victims."
"As with all charitable giving, it should be done carefully and wisely," said Kane. "You want to be certain your charitable donation gets to the people who need it most."
Kane says you should keep these tips in mind when you are deciding whether to give a donation in the wake of a natural disaster:
1. Give Carefully and Thoughtfully
Check out the charity to avoid wasting your generosity by donating to a questionable or poorly managed effort. The first request for a donation may not be the best choice. Be proactive and find trusted charities that are providing valuable assistance. Avoid giving on impulse.
2. Check State Government Registration
Many states require charities to register with a state government agency before they solicit for charitable gifts. Pennsylvania is no exception. Check registration at http://www.charities.pa.gov/ or call 1-800-732-0999 for charities lawfully registered to ask for your donation. If you are a Pennsylvania resident and you are solicited here, then the group should be registered here. If the charity is not registered, don't hesitate to report the solicitation to my office through our web site at www.attorneygeneral.gov or by calling us toll-free at 1-800-441-2555. If you are looking for Oklahoma charities, check the Oklahoma registration at https://www.sos.ok.gov/charity/ or call (405) 521-3912.
3. Find Out How Donations Will Be Used
Avoid vague appeals that don't identify the intended use of funds. For example, how will the donations help victims' families? Also, unless told otherwise, donors will assume that funds collected quickly in the wake of a tragedy will be spent just as quickly. See if the appeal identifies when the collected funds will be used.
4. Be Wary of Online Appeals
Never click on links to charities on unfamiliar websites or in texts or emails. These may take you to a lookalike website where you will be asked to provide personal financial information, or to click on something that downloads harmful malware into your computer. Don't assume that charity recommendations on Facebook, blogs or other social media have already been vetted.
5. Look for Transparency
If you give a donation after a tragedy, you should follow up and see for yourself how the funds were spent. Transparent organizations will post this information on their websites. You should not have to wait until the audited financial statements are available sometime in the future.
6. Look for Established Organizations
This is a personal giving choice, but an established charity will more likely have the experience to quickly address the circumstances and have a track record that can be evaluated. A newly formed organization may be well-meaning but will be difficult to check out and may not be well managed.
7. Consider Tax Deductibility
Not all organizations collecting funds to assist in a tragedy are tax exempt as charities under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Donors can support these other entities, but they should keep this in mind if they want to take a deduction for federal income tax purposes. In addition, contributions that are donor-restricted to help a specific individual/family are not deductible as charitable donations, even if the recipient organization is a charity.
The Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General acknowledges and thanks The Wise Giving Alliance of the Better Business Bureau for their help in compiling this list.

eBay - The Chatter - eBay Giving Works' 10,000 Nonprofit - And a Cool Listing: "eBay Giving Works' 10,000 Nonprofit - And a Cool Listing
Posted by Jeff on February 21, 2007 at 09:39 AM in General , eBay in Pop Culture | Permalink
Jeff_post_128 Hopefully you saw the good news from Kristin Cunningham posted on the Announcement Givingworks Board - eBay Giving Works, our program for charity listings, recently added their 10,000th nonprofit to their directory. That's a lot of organizations sellers can choose to support - and it's even blown the folks running eBay Giving Works away. Jen Ibarra, who is a key player in making Giving Works hum (and who you saw expressing her fondness for Matthew McConaughey earlier in this video about National Philanthropy Day), told me, 'We're extremely excited. Honestly, at this point we would've been thrilled to have 5000 nonprofits signed up. To have twice that many is, well, mind-blowing.'"

This weekend has been networking productivity at its best. Rest took place on Friday night until the Silent Hill sirens blasted. I found about the tornado warning on Twitter. I planned on going to Decatur to get a chance at winning some Galaxy foams but the weather foiled my plans (insert Animaniacs Pinky and the Brain music). Saturday brought forth promise. I planned to connect with Twitter peeps at BE Magazine after a meeting then hang or head home. Saturday afternoon brought an invitation from Michael, who spoke at my organization's Sneakers & Bow ties: Power of the Tie event, to a motivational event the following day. Time overlapped and I tried to cram in prissiness, people, and power moves into every minute. Hence, I was late to everything on Saturday.
At the BE Magazine, I met and reconnected with many but missed @Flywon, diva extraordinaire, by 20 minutes. We just keep missing each other. At the bar I met Blair from Honor Roll Clothing, who remembered me as "Concord Girl". I might have to get a t-shirt made. I picked up a v-neck from Kickboard Kouture which later led to a meeting with my new furry friend. I was surprised to see J'Lamar, another speaker at Sneakers & Bow ties. I nibbled on a key lime cupcake by La'Brisha while I sipped on Shirley Temples at Arum's bar. Don't laugh. Met photographer Vaughn, who was introduced to me by Jah, marketing director for Kickboard Kouture. I even got a chance to meet Corey who heard about Masculine Thread's efforts through mutual peeps. Arum, which has an evenly older crowd than Shout but has the same feel. Overall, it was a good look.
Sunday wasn't a day to slow down but to change gears for more meetings and fostering current relationships. Church was great! Got there just in time for the sermon. Met a baby and found out why I haven't seen a lady for a minute. Kicked it with Kebbi then hauled it to another meeting. Then, I rushed off to the Why Not Now event at the Green Room Actor's Lounge. The host, Tammy McGarity exhibited how well she'd perfected transition. Klarque Garrison, spoke with excerpts from his book, Surviving the Next 365, highlighting the power of doing things in the moment and the power of attraction. Michael McFadden concluded the speaking portion bringing out points in his book, Truisms, prompting the audience to pay attention to things and people around them and to find the opportunity in each moment. To conclude the event prizes and opportunities were given. Truism was won by an excited audience member, T-Pain's father won a photography session with Tammy, and Klarque offered the audience a chance to be paired with a mentor in their field. He specified that a mentor doesn't have an age limit or minimum, doesn't need a lot of money but just to have succeeded a goal that you are trying to achieve. So you know I gladly handed over my business card. God loves a cheerful giver.
Networking is work; just ask John who stated that "nobody is getting out of here without getting a [business] card". As my new t-shirt states, "Voted Most Likely to Keep Grinding", I plan to keep creating new relationships and nourish current ones.

Breezes blow from salty waters -
a gale of freshness lifts your dampened roots
and through your yurei hair
like a tablecloth is flicked to set.
Dark pools of honor glance my way
and stay
upon my haunted gaze.
Your pampered skin caresses longings
Deep behind such desupere-to 'versions
That you would give yourself to me
in passion's strained duress
and lean against my loneliness.
Just to taste your calming soul so rooted
in ripe blackened soil.
I chance a look at moistened lips -
so fractioned in time that I must shutter it into inner catalogs
upon catalogs of you.
In my mind and when alone, you are the only one
who knows -
who shows such interest in me that only by my
timely death upon a finely sharpened tanto
could my heart be quenched -
Now thirsty, nay, contented with
the moisture from your whispering lips
Enviously touched by salty mists.
