April 11, 2011 -- Contrary to what some people think, women's voices don't change at different points of time over their menstrual cycle.
A new study shows that women's voices remain steady throughout the hormonal changes associated with their menstrual cycle and don't become any higher or more shrill at certain times during the cycle.
Researchers say the results contradict previous studies that suggested the tone of women's voices rises as ovulation approaches.
"Previous studies were subjective [in their assessments] or measured only three or four parameters," researcher Neal S. Latman, PhD, associate professor of biology at West Texas A&M University, says in a news release. "Or they analyzed single vowel tones, but people don't speak in single vowels. They speak in sentences."
For the study, presented at the Experimental Biology 2011 meeting in Washington, D.C., researchers analyzed 175 voice samples provided by 35 female study participants.
The women kept diaries to track their menstrual cycles in the month leading up to the study. Then the women recorded voice samples at four points over their next two menstrual cycles.
For each voice sample, the women recorded the same question: "Yesterday, did the kindergarten children watch television after breakfast?" Researchers say the question was selected because it is voice rich and provides a variety of voice characteristics.
At the end of the study, the voice samples were analyzed by voice analysis software to measure eight different voice parameters, such as degree of voice breaks, fundamental frequency, and shimmer (which measures varying degrees of loudness).
The results showed no differences in these eight voice parameters between the different menstrual cycle changes for each woman.
In addition, there were no differences in voice characteristics for each woman from menstrual cycle to cycle or between women who were using hormonal contraceptives and those who were not.
This study was presented at a medical conference. The findings should be considered preliminary as they have not yet undergone the "peer review" process, in which outside experts scrutinize the data prior to publication in a medical journal.

"Democrats need to learn from Cantor's loss that anything can happen in 2014. Even on the morning of the election, not a single major pundit or politician thought the majority leader would lose. Cantor was considered invincible, and Republicans were expected to win big in November. But voters have minds of their own and the tea party's right-wing base helped it usher in a truly unexpected result."

But to tear down a factory or to revolt against a government or to avoid repair of a motorcycle because it is a system is to attack effects rather than causes; and as long as the attack is upon effects only, no change is possible. The true system, the real system, is our present construction of systematic thought itself, rationality itself, and if a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory. If a revolution destroys a systematic government, but the systematic patterns of thought that produced that government are left intact, then those patterns will repeat themselves in the succeeding government. There's so much talk about the system. And so little understanding.

2 notes &
A simple white blazer is a girl's best friend! You can pair it with almost anything from a casual look (like I did here) to a sexy dress. I purchased one that is tailored in the waist to make my curves look more pronounced, and shoulder pads for a structured, more polished look.
This white blazer is from Foreign Exchange. I paired it with a light weight grey tank from H&M and grey pants from No Rest For Bridget.
My Tasha earrings are from Nordstrom and my leather pumps are Enzo Angiolini.

It's clear for anyone who's been paying attention to America's conservative right wing backlash that not everyone is happy about the country's shifting demographics. But a group of white male college students in Texas have taken their antipathy to new levels by offering scholarships exclusively for white males. Recently, one of the groups member's members took to the media in its defense.
William Lake is an MBA candidate at Texas State University in San Marcos and treasurer of the nonprofit Former Majority Association for Equality, the group that's offering the scholarship. Lake told MSNBC on Tuesday that white men are "one group that just doesn't have any support."
And there's more. "We saw opportunities for just about every single demographic, as far as pausing for college goes, except for this one," Lake told Talking Points Memo. "We're just providing one for this demographic. Why shouldn't there be money available for these people?" Read more...On Sunday afternoon, one of my favorite race bloggers, Mikhail Lybansky (Op Ed News, Psychology Today), invited me to discuss this report and the larger issue of race-based scholarships. And when I have the opportunity to dialogue with an educator who speaks thoughtfully about race, I jump at the chance.
Following is a transcript of our discussion, edited for clarity and better flow. We invite you to share your thoughts in the comments section..
Tami: What bothers me most about this scholarship for white guys is that it demonstrates a lack of understanding for what "minority" scholarships are about.
Mikhail: Sure it does. It fails to acknowledge the reality that students of color face obstacles to success that white students don't, which is not to say that some white students don't also have obstacles -- they do -- but those obstacles are not related to their whiteness.
Tami: Right. Scholarships are not extra goodies offered to students of color or female students. Scholarships are meant to mitigate the imbalances in opportunity caused by race, gender, etc.
Mikhail: If we agree on the above, then the implication is that it is reasonable to have race-targeted scholarships for students of color and not for white students.
Tami: Yes.
It is also interesting that the difficulties faced by at least two of the men who are the face of this scholarship have nothing to do with their race. One had a criminal record. One was a poor student.
Mikhail: ...and I'd like to see educational opportunities (including scholarships) be available for members of those groups too!
Tami: Yes. Why not a scholarship for students with criminal records? But why does that student see whiteness at the root of his problem, I wonder?
Mikhail: The answer that comes to mind is that this student (and presumably many others) resent what they see as unfair advantages available to students of color. Basically, they see the policy response...but not the reason that the policy response is necessary.
Tami: I also have a problem with this Former Majority business. [Editor's note: (See article) The nonprofit offering the scholarship is called the Former Majority Association for Equality.]
Mikhail: How so?
Tami: The problems of POCs and women are not necessarily related to minority status. Indeed, aren't women slightly more than 50 percent of the population now? [Editor's note: We checked: women comprise 50.7% of the U.S. population according to he 2009 U.S. census data.] Our problems are related to racism, sexism and bias. These things can exist regardless of minority status. (See, for instance, apartheid-era South Africa).
Mikhail: I agree that it's not JUST minority status. Incidentally, women though just slightly more than 50% of population, comprise a much higher percentage of college students and an even higher percentage of college graduates [Editor's note: Women have represented about 57 percent of enrollments at American colleges since at least 2000, according to a recent report by the American Council on Education]. Numerically, men are an under-represented group in college. There are even some discussions happening (I don't know how seriously to take them.) about the possibility of an affirmative action program for male college applicants.
Tami: The scholarships these guys compare their scholarship to exist to mitigate imbalances of opportunity and social power. I would love to hear one of these students demonstrate how POCs and women have access to greater opportunity and power than white American men.
Mikhail: I don't think that kind of demonstration is possible, but they are not thinking in those terms. As I said, I think they see the scholarships but not the reason those scholarships are necessary.
Tami: You make a good point re: men being underrepresented in colleges. What is the prevailing wisdom on why that is? I suspect that this particular scholarship does not address the problem.
Mikhail: My understanding is that men are underrepresented in college because girls get better grades in high school and graduate at higher rates [Editor's note: Readers interested in more specifics regarding why the gender different exists are advised to read this article in the New York Times and this academic paper.]. And no, this particular scholarship clearly doesn't address that since it's race-based, not gender based.
Tami: Hmmm...I am conflicted now. It would seem that, given the reasons you've shared, a scholarship for men might be a reasonable response. My difficulty, though, is that the reasoning of this particular scholarship doesn't address root issues, but appears a sort of tit-for-tat: "Black people get scholarships; we should, too."
Mikhail: I think a scholarship for men is a reasonable response. This scholarship was for white students, which is illogical (and, to me, unethical) since white students are over-represented in colleges and universities, relative to non-white students.
Tami: Agreed. And not to take us in yet another direction. The scholarship also perpetuates the idea that minority scholarships always go to "undeserving" students, who cannot get into college any other way. That simply isn't true.
Mikhail: No, it is not true at all, and that actually relates to what I was hoping we could talk about:
I want to push this in a slightly different direction, because I was pretty sure we'd be in agreement about what we've talked about so far. I'm less sure about this next part: There are (unintended) costs for both students of color and for our society of having race-based scholarship and affirmative action programs. How would you feel about getting into that? It would be less safe for both of us, I think.
Tami: No problem. Let's go there. Full disclosure. I went to college on a full academic scholarship for minority students. Shoulda mentioned that earlier.
Mikhail: That's good to know, though it doesn't change anything for me. I'll reciprocate and disclose that I did not have a scholarship, race-based or otherwise...but did work the entire time I was in college to off-set the cost.
Mikhail: Ok, so I'll start with a provocative statement that I'm not sure I believe but that I've been mulling over...
Tami: Lets hear it!
Mikhail: Race-based scholarships (and race-based affirmative action in admissions), while a much-needed help for the targeted students, ultimately do more harm than good for both students of color and for our society. I can explain...or you can just jump in now :)

Grace had a fantastic school year! Her little report cards tells a wonderful story--she continued to improve throughout the year and ended with the highest marks in the 4th quarter! Way to finish strong, Grace!
Grace spent a about half of her school day in the regular 2nd grade classroom. Her regular ed teacher was "Johnson" (Grace calls everyone by their last names only.) And, every morning, Johnson would do the "I'm watching you signal", using her first two fingers in a V pointing at her eyes and then to Grace's. Then, Grace would do it back at Johnson!
Mrs. Johnson did a fabulous job of including Grace in the class. For instance, she told us that when it was time for a math game with flash cards, she would have Grace hold the card out for the child to give the answer. If it was a boy and he got the answer right, he would get to take the card from Grace, who would then pat him on the back and say "Good job, Mister!" And, if it was a girl who got the answer right, Grace would hand her the flash card and say, "Good job, Toots!" What a hoot!
Here's an email note we got from Johnson on the last day: "Hi Paula, I just want to say thanks for sharing your wonderful daughter with me this year. I can't tell you enough how much I enjoyed having Grace in my classroom. The morning hugs and the Johnson, I'm watching you signal always started my days out great! I'm sure going to miss her! Have a great summer! Stacy aka "Johnson"
And to finish it off, here's a video clip that her wonderful spec ed teacher, Christianson, took of Grace reading. This is a huge encouragement to me, as I have not heard her read yet. She won't read for anyone but Christianson, not even Johnson!
The HUGE miracle in the little body :o)

I actually attack the concept of happiness. The idea that - I don't mind people being happy - but the idea that everything we do is part of the pursuit of happiness seems to me a really dangerous idea and has led to a contemporary disease in Western society, which is fear of sadness. It's a really odd thing that we're now seeing people saying "write down 3 things that made you happy today before you go to sleep", and "cheer up" and "happiness is our birthright" and so on. We're kind of teaching our kids that happiness is the default position - it's rubbish. Wholeness is what we ought to be striving for and part of that is sadness, disappointment, frustration, failure; all of those things which make us who we are. Happiness and victory and fulfillment are nice little things that also happen to us, but they don't teach us much. Everyone says we grow through pain and then as soon as they experience pain they say "Quick! Move on! Cheer up!" I'd like just for a year to have a moratorium on the word "happiness" and to replace it with the word "wholeness". Ask yourself "is this contributing to my wholeness?" and if you're having a bad day, it is. Hugh Mackay· #things to take to heart #reminders #hugh mackay

Doin' Hard Time on Another Mysterious Island
- Tuesday, January 31, 2012
The prison drama is a venerable genre going back at least to early classic films like The Big House (1930), I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932), and Brute Force (1947). Often the most violent films of Hollywood's classic era, they tended focus either the incorrigible criminal or the system that further brutalized him.
In more recent films, Clint Eastwood attempts an Escape from Alcatraz (1979), Tim Robbins crawls his way out of the Big House in The Shawshank Redemption (1994) and Madea Goes to Jail circa 2006. (For a big list of prison movies, try this site.) Audiences have long had a fascination with the people on the other side of the prison doors where society consigns the worst of its citizens.
Understandably, with its need for ongoing sympathetic characters, television hasn't spent much time behind bars; I can think of only one series, Prison Break, that was all about doing hard time. But now, with Fox's new series, Alcatraz, the prison drama takes a daring leap—into the past.
The very definition of high concept programming, the series is premised on the revelation that when the notorious prison was closed down in 1963, the violent prisoners weren't really transferred elsewhere—everyone on the island in San Francisco Bay disappeared. Worse, they are reappearing in the present day to resume their murderous ways on an unsuspecting public.
That's the discovery of police detective Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones, looking about ten years too young for a such a seasoned officer) when, during a murder investigation, a fingerprint is connected to an Alcatraz inmate thought long dead. She meets Dr. Diego Soto (Lost's Jorge Garcia) who literally wrote the book on the prison's residents and they go to the island, now a tourist attraction, to look for clues.
That's when they stumble upon a secret government unit headquartered deep in the prison's bowels, Batcave-like, with modern equipment and headed by a permanently sour FBI agent, Emerson Hauser, played by the redoubtable Sam Neill in a somewhat mannered performance. Hauser, we soon learn, was a young prison guard the night the disappearance occurred and has apparently been on the case every since.
He explains the astounding facts to the pair and Rebecca convinces Hauser that she and Soto can help him in his quest to capture the now reappearing convicts. The series soon reveals itself as one of those shows that tries to hook its audience on a deep mystery that likely won't be fully revealed or resolved for years, should the show last that long, while keeping it hooked with individual episodes focusing on a single prisoner each week. So, yes, viewers may be forgiven for thinking that, with it's flashing back and forth between the present and the now in vogue Mad Men era of the early 1960s, this feels like a show composed of used parts from other shows.
So far that's what's happened in the first episodes. In the pilot, Jack Sylvane, the inmate whose prints Rebecca identifies, wakes up in a room on Alcatraz in the present day and finds his way off the island, seemingly assisted by unknown enablers, and it's his murderous actions that put the detective on his trail.
The actor playing him, Jeffrey Pierce, was so leading man handsome, I figured he couldn't be a real killer, but soon enough, he's shooting cops and others on his revenge list. Several times the episode flashes back to Sylvane's prison days where we learn a few things about his background and see the brutality of the administration, including Deputy Warden E. B. Tiller, one of his present day victims and an old friend of Hauser.
Sylvane seems as much a victim as bad guy and when Hauser's unit finally brings him in, rather than taking him to a standard Federal facility, Hauser escorts him to a bunker deep in the woods whose doors lead to a gleaming, high tech prison where, without a hearing or other legal process, he is returned behind bars. What gives?

Our Whitening Toothpaste with Fluoride brightens teeth 273% more effectively than the leading national brand.
- Whitens: Calprox® safely lifts surface stains such as coffee, tea, tobacco, red wine, and other stains without harsh abrasives or the risk of sensitivity. Maintains and enhances the vibrancy of professionally bleached teeth. Restores bonding, caps, veneers, and dentures to their original whiteness.
- Freshens: Sodium Bicarbonate provides long-lasting germicidal protection for fresher breath.
- Strengthens: The combination of Calcium, Phosphates, and Magnesium re-mineralizes tooth enamel.
- Protects: Fights against cavities with fluoride.
Silica Free, Gluten Free, Sulfate Free, Dye Free, Kosher
Do not use if irritation occurs or persists.
| How It Works |
Our Toothpaste with Calprox® works by gently dissolving the protein pellicle – a thin layer of protein that forms on the tooth surface, to which plaque, bacteria, and stains adhere. Removing the protein pellicle leaves teeth feeling cleaner for a longer period of time. Baking Soda provides long-lasting germicidal protection to ensure fresher breath and to prevent gum disease. Teeth are protected with Fluoride, while Calcium and Phosphates work to re-mineralize tooth enamel.
Since our Toothpaste contains no gritty silica – an abrasive ingredient commonly used in commercial toothpastes to scrape away the pellicle – it is 75% less abrasive than the recommended standard set by the American Dental Association.
| Usage |
- 1.On a DRY toothbrush, place a pearl-size drop of Whitening Toothpaste and Whitening Accelerator.
- 2.Brush in a circular motion for 2 minutes.
- 3.Rinse with water.
| Key Ingredients |
Professional Whitening Toothpaste (Original Mint)

Team earns 50th win of the season
The second period had Norfolk answering every goal scored by Providence. The P-Bruins first took the lead with a goal from Craig Cunningham at 3:36 of the period. Chris Bourque took the shot and Cunningham deflected it into the net past Andersen to make it 2-1. Spooner, who leads all rookies in assists, had the secondary assist bringing his total assists to 40. Just 13 seconds after killing a penalty, the Admirals tied it at 2-2 with a goal from Patrick Maroon at 10:16. Two minutes later Providence took the lead again with their third goal on just 10 shots to make it 3-2. On a three on two rush, Spooner had the puck in the middle and sped toward the goal and beat Andersen. Emotions started to run high in the period with a lot of little scraps between players. Bobby Robins and Maroon chirped each other at the face off and were promptly sent to penalty boxes at 18:41 to make the remainder of the period four on four. With just three seconds remaining in the period, the Admirals tied it up again with a goal from their captain Nate Guenin. The shots were more evened out at the end of 40 minutes of play with the Admirals outshooting the P-Bruins 20 to 19.
It took until 19:39 of the period for the deciding game winning goal. Most of the period was quiet with play back and forth. In the final 30 seconds, Spooner went down the left wing with speed and shot the puck at the net for the his third goal of the game and the eventual game winning goal. The hat trick is the first of Spooner's first professional goal. The Admirals would not tie the game and the Providence got their 50th win of the season, ending the season with a staggering 105 points.
Prior to the start of this afternoon's game, six different players were honored for what they have done this season. Tommy Cross was honored with the +/- award for his team leading +13 and Craig Cunningham was honored with the Providence 3 Stars award. Torey Krug was honored as the Providence Bruins best defenseman and for being player of the week for the week ending April 14th. Bobby Robins was honored with the Providence Bruins Community Service Award and the Providence Bruins Fan Appreciation award. Ryan Spooner was honored for his selection on the All Rookie Team, as the Providence Bruins leading scorer and as the player of the month for the month of March. Niklas Svedberg was honored with six different awards from the season. He was honored as player of the month for the month of March, his selection to the All Rookie Team and AHL First All Star team as well as Providence Bruins rookie of the year and Providence Bruins most valuable player. Most notably Svedberg was honored with the Baz Bastien Award for best goaltender.

Sustainability is still an elusive industry watchword. Everyone agrees it is vital, but sustainability can be hard to quantify or even define. Field to Market, an alliance of farmers; agribusinesses; food and retail companies; universities; conservation organizations; and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), hopes to change that by defining sustainability, measuring it and developing metrics for improvement.
Pilot programs underway are showcasing how farmers can analyze their environmental footprint and look for ways to improve it by using the Fieldprint Calculator available online. Participating farmers enter various data about their operation, and the calculator estimates field-level performance on several areas, including irrigation use, conservation, water quality, energy use and more.
Get the picture. "It's kind of a snapshot on how farmers are performing," says Colleen Forestieri, a conservation technician with the NRCS Van Buren, Mich., conservation district. Fifty farmers participated in the local pilot program on groundwater research. Forestieri says downstream customers, such as Kellogg's, Coca-Cola and others, are increasingly interested in the environmental impact farmers make.
"Water is Coca-Cola's No. 1 ingredient, and corn is their No. 2 ingredient, so it's extremely important to them," she says. "A lot of food companies are becoming more concerned with sustainable production."
The Fieldprint Calculator shows each farmer how efficiently they're using their land, Forestieri says. Once farmers establish a baseline, they can find ways to improve their operation. Common improvements include precision irrigation, no-till, residue management, variable-rate fertility and other farming practices, she says.
Carl Druskovich, one of the farmer participants, says sustainability is always good for the land and often good for the bottom line. For example, installing precision agriculture equipment that allows him to apply variable-rate potash not only reduced fertilizer runoff but also his input costs.
"Farmers might say they can't afford $7,500 for a GPS setup," he says. "But at the same time, they might be spending $70,000 on potash when they could have spent $60,000. They can afford it; they just don't know it."
The educational opportunities that Fieldprint Calculator provides is invaluable, Druskovich says, because awareness of new farming technologies or practices is often the biggest barrier to improvement.
"It takes people in the coffee shop sometimes talking about new practices that work," he says.
University of Tennessee Extension specialist Lori Duncan is overseeing another Field to Market pilot program sponsored by Cotton Incorporated and the National Cotton Council to document baseline data and to look at management practices such as variable-rate fertility and cover crops that can reduce environmental impacts while maintaining or increasing profits. She has been encouraged by the results so far.
"There have been some good surprises," Duncan says. "Our producers were intrigued about how sustainable they are, and they're all doing a really good job."
There were still opportunities for improvement, she adds. For example, participants had already switched to variable-rate fertility applications.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., July 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Beginning with the 2015 model year, Ram will become the first automaker to adopt the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J2807 standardized tow rating practices across all three fullsize pickup truck segments, including the ½-ton Ram 1500, ¾-ton Ram 2500 Heavy Duty and one-ton "King of the Hill" Ram 3500 Heavy Duty.
Ram beats the competition in the two most sought-after titles in the pickup truck market, fuel economy and SAE towing capacity, offering the most capable and most fuel efficient trucks available.
"Because our customers asked for it, every single 2015 model year pickup truck Ram sells will come with a trailer-tow rating achieved using SAE's J2807 testing protocols," said Reid Bigland, President and CEO – Ram Truck Brand. "No other automaker can make that claim."
On the heels of finalized SAE towing specifications that now include trucks up to 14,000 GVWR, Ram has validated its full pickup line with the SAE J2807 Towing Standard – the only truck maker to adopt the standard in all three pickup truck weight classes.
"Ram Truck has been preparing for integration of the SAE towing standard over the past few years and adding heavier ¾ and 1-ton trucks to the criteria gives it more teeth," said Mike Cairns, Director- Ram Truck Engineering, Chrysler Group LLC. "For too long, an uneven playing field existed and towing capacities went unchecked. We're happy to be the only pickup truck manufacturer to align with the SAE J2807 towing standard across our pickup truck line up."
The SAE J2807 towing standard outlines dynamic and performance criteria as it relates to a given vehicle. Examples within the standard include a number of tests while towing: 0-60 MPH time allowance, tackling the notorious Davis Dam Grade while maintaining no less than 40 MPH for single-rear-wheel trucks and 35 MPH for dual-rear-wheel trucks, a constant radius understeer test while increasing speed and a sway maneuver using aggressive steering input. The purpose is to put all trucks through the schedule of tests in which operators will likely see in the real world. SAE standards have existed in a number of other areas including engine torque and horsepower. Ram Truck is the first to adopt the official towing standard for ½-ton, ¾-ton and 1-ton trucks.
2015 Ram SAE J2807 towing capacities:
Ram Truck Brand
Since its launch as a stand-alone division of Chrysler Group LLC in 2009, the Ram Truck Brand has steadily emerged as an industry leader with one goal: to build the best pickup trucks and commercial vehicles in the industry.
Creating a distinct identity for Ram Trucks has allowed the brand to concentrate on core customers and features they find valuable. Whether focusing on a family that uses a Ram 1500 day in and day out, a hard-working Ram 3500 Heavy Duty owner or a business that depends on its Ram ProMaster commercial van every day for deliveries, Ram has the truck market covered.
In order to be the best, it takes a commitment to innovation, capability, efficiency and durability. Ram Truck continues to invest substantially in its products, infusing them with great looks, refined interiors, durable engines and exclusive features that further enhance their capabilities.
Moving into the 2015 model year, Ram continues to beat the competition in the two most sought-after titles, fuel economy and towing capacity.
Truck customers, from half-ton to commercial, have a demanding range of needs and require their vehicles to provide high levels of capability. Ram trucks are designed to deliver a total package.

By Anonymous Cartoon Lover
It's by Studio Ghibli and therefore excellent. See BCDB for summary of plot. It won an award in 1984, but seems new and fresh in 2010. It's an example of the best of anime- well-plotted, well-drawn, adventurous, but still joyful and poignant. The English subtitles are ALMOST as good as dialogue, but even though I read quickly, I sometimes need to back up to get all the words. I do wish that BCDB would include yhe English translations in the first listings, though.

In June, I'm going to see The Black Keys for the second time in a year. (Tami Trivia: What is the only other musical act I have seen in concert more than once? Answer: Rick Springfield. Shut up! I was a tween.) I've always been a fan of blues-influenced rock and I've been seriously digging this group for a minute.
This week, I've been watching the videos of The Black Keys Blakroc project--their collaboration with hip hop artists like Mos Def and Billy Danze. Check them out on You Tube. There are about eight, I think, featuring different artists. I love seeing how musicians collaborate behind-the-scenes to make an album. And the music? Fire!
Of course, The Black Keys have blown up with their most recent album, "Brothers," which is amazing. My favorite song--"Too Afraid to Love You."
Another of my top Black Keys tracks is "Your Touch" from "Magic Potion."
Somewhere online (I couldn't find it this morning for anything) is a free download of a kick-ass mashup of "Brothers" with Big Boi's "Chico Dusty" album. It's called "The Brothers of Chico Dusty" by Wick-It The Instigator. It's definitely worth the search.

Let's build a better media to facilitate democratic debate!
Audio version of the idea:
Michael Sandel started an idea requiring support. He said, "One thing the world needs, one thing this country desperately needs is a better way of conducting our political debates. We need to rediscover the lost art of democratic argument.". Professor Sandel is doing his part, but more needs to be done to provide a media to facilitate public participation in a civil debate. Tools are required to motivate more to develop better arguments.
The Do Good Gauge is a research proposal seeking others interested in developing a solution to the problem Professor Sandel describes. Applause is not required. Needed are a group of individuals willing to set aside their ego, to set aside a desire for financial gain and focus on a new media to motivate participation and give higher demographic viewership to the best arguments regardless of fame or status.
Here are a few essays to continue Professor Sandel's thought:
What is the Do Good Gauge?
I Had the Dream
A Better Way for Political Discourse
Please, let's give a try. The first step is to continue the discussion.
Closing Statement from Scott Nesler
I approached this idea as if there were two sides in developing a democratic media, the media and the public. What was learned is appreciated but a typical path in the attempt to sustain dialogue in the conversation. Going into to this TED idea I was more critical of the existing media and its inability to provide a wider representation of citizens thoughts. Upon the expiration of the TED clock it was realized how difficult it is to develop a thought understood and respected by the reader. How difficult it is to acquire feedback and sustain attention in a dialogue.
There were a few successes. Edward Long's streak of questions started with scepticism and ended in a hope for the idea. Though his questions did not traverse the entirety of the idea they did give opportunity for better clarification.
Wayne Tod started a dialogue which extended to private email. What Wayne Tod brought to the conversation was the importance of self reflection in developing a thought.
Feyisayo Anjorin comment motivated what is probably the best summary of this idea. The fourth post down, written on June 2nd, should be read as an extension of this closing statement.
External to this idea TED exposed the difficulty and the lack of good tools to facilitate an individual to advance an idea. Don Wesley's TED idea illustrates a man wrongly pushed to homelessness wishing to respectfully illustrate his case. Existing technology does not provide the public an efficient and respectful means to guide him through the many iterations required build a case worthy of broader appeal.

May 10 2012: The immense value Prof. Sandel brings to the table is his ability to moderate a debate. Without skill at the helm the course may vary erratically. The media for debate exists. The mechanisms are in-place. The problem is staffing. I don't think one person in a thousand can do a good job of moderating a debate in an active, participatory way. I think that is why valid, robust, edifying debate is in intensive care today. Thanks for your time Mr. Nesler.
May 11 2012: Audio Version of this Post:
I side with your description of today's debate. Existing tools provide little incentive for an individual to focus on a solution. Having no voice in the discussion provides little incentive to develop a reasoned argument to back up one's words. More importantly the existing media does not provide an iterative method to refine a thought. Today's approach to argument is one and done or shoot from the hip. Few take the time to consider alternative suggestions.
Yes, we do have a media for debate, but it is not democratic. Professor Sandel is suggesting a democratic form of debate giving more a chance to participate. Our existing system is based on a republican model. We hire people to speak on our behalf.
The inefficiency of communication and dispersement of citizens across a large region in the day of Benjamin Franklin did not provide the efficiency of communication as we have today. The pony express was considered fast, but not fast enough to refine a democratic thought. Internet has advanced communication such that it can provide members of the general public the means to contribute reason and quality to the political discussion. Tools, such as TED is providing here, are a starting point for advancing an idea. TED is close. What is required is the means to motivate an individual to build a finish product for their topic. A finished product worthy of higher demographics. A product worthy of the one in a thousand level of quality the consumer expects from the debate.
Thank you Mr. Long for engaging in this idea.
May 11 2012: Audio Version of this Post:
How we are accustom to the word debate may confuse the idea. Maybe the word argument as it is used in critical analysis is better. The idea really builds on what Professor Sandel lectures in his online course at www.justiceharvard.org. The idea of an argument having many sides. Unlike the hierarchical forum-type system facilitated through internet comments, I suggest a living document as the focal point of an argument. Comments are only intended to motivate the author to improve or change an argument. This process of refinement will hopefully help the author articulate an intelligent thought.
Mr. Long I think what you are suggesting is more of a point in time type of debate. My suggestion is longer term. A quality argument may take days, weeks, even months to come to fruition. The starting point may be unrecognisably compared to the end product.
May 11 2012: It is not the purpose of debate to qualitatively effect an issue or subject, but to support one interpretation (aka. side of an argument) over and against all other interpretations. What you describe sounds like crowd-editing of a submitted work, a living document. I think you should use the word "Argument" in place of "Debate". OK. Call me pedantic.
May 11 2012: Audio Version of this Post:
I agree "Argument" is the more accurate term, though there are those who confuse the meaning of that word as well. Living document yes, though I wouldn't call the idea crowd-editing. The crowd does participate in helping an individual develop an argument, but an argument is owned by an individual or like thinking group.
This is how the idea differs from Wikipedia. An argument owner controls who, when, or what portions of an argument can be edited by others. In most cases an author would never allow others to edit the content. He or she would take the advice received from others and refine the thoughts into a new draft.

This was quick to prepare and cook. It was really tasty with the sauce. The only thing I had to watch was the cooking time because I like my meat more on the rare side. I would fully recommend this. The change that I made was used cuman seeds and put them in the mortar and pestle. I also used orange peppers -they were sweeter and on sale. Enjoy

Are you seriously kidding me? A "Officers Quarters" on leveling? people don't know how to level there character?
I have an easier solution that doesnt require nearly the same amount of space....
Step 1. get a leveling guide (they are free)
Step 2. Follow it
Step 3. profit
If this is wotlk... they will lay out the entire zone in quest hubs, and you will do all the quests in Hub A., with a quest that leads you to Hub B. ect ect, until you reach 80.
Sorry for the rude comment. It just baffles me sometimes that in a game as easy to play as wow, people still can't do it. If you have people in your guild that can not level without the help of a 70 power leveling them through instances, I would up the recruitment efforts.

Hi Gullekian, Do you know what? On Sunday, I saved my work every 15-30 min. Of course, nothing happened. On Monday, I do not know why, I did not think about that... And bam! I finished the thing at 5:45 am so I no longer need a punching ball... maybe a little too tired for this.
By the way, Excel is definetely not the most convenient software for gathering the answers to a questionnaire, but that was what people used... It is super time consuming to analyze this kind of data properly.
Electricity breakdown... lost this morning's work... Noooooooooooooo!!!!
Is there any volunteer on bjstuff to be my punching ball and allow me to get rid of my frustration?
No... questionnaire survey administered to 1200 enterprises. The excel contains the statistics about the answers (basic statistics). I have to make a descriptive report first and then we go into statistical stuff.
About teh excel, I just meant analyzing the data it contains... and writing a report... when you have lots lots lots of sophisticated data, it is really a hell of a job.
Thank you for the report and happy to learn that the event was great. I am still on my report... 150 pages of excel file to interpret hahaha...
So how was today's lunch event? Did you invade the restaurant?
Hey !!! what i meant was that sadly i don't have time because i'm working pretty much the whole day on weekends he he he. And i could join the Coffee-Talk meetings if they were in the evenings after 6 on weekends only. U could say that im working 24/7 he he he... call me workaholic he he he

This was delicious but I've made many yeast bread recipes and I think the dough needs to be much more substantial. I used whole-grain flour but the dough was still very soft and sticky even after the first rising. After rolling it out it was almost too thin to roll up (much less "braid"; clearly this is mis-named) and I had several tears in the loaves (rips that is, not from crying) by the time I transferred them to the baking sheet, which was no small feat in itself. I did not have preserves on hand so I increased the cheese (which was orange-lemon flavored anyway) by half, and the amount of filling was still almost too much. The result tasted good but was rather funny-looking, so I would need to tweak the recipe quite a bit - and maybe even bake it in a loaf pan - before taking this out in public.
Apricot-Cream Cheese Braid
detailaddict Posted: 02/17/09
jodocent Posted: 03/01/09
I read the other reviews and am astounded that the recipe could receive more than 2 stars. I am very experienced with yeast dough and the fact that the dough is delicate is okay, but the amount of filling recommended is about 4 times more than is possible to use and it is too thin so you cannot roll the dough up unless you use much less than recommended. Also it is not a braid. Why don't you correct the recipe? I will make it again with the necessary adjustments and recommentd that you do the same and republish it after it is corrected. I knew when I read it that there was a problem so baked a coffee cake as a bake-up. Good thing I did.
Ddfaire Posted: 06/16/09
so very tasty...you would never know this desert came from a light cook book!!!
ginibeck Posted: 01/13/10
Very good - tasty and tender. I have made several times and people always enjoy it. I make in two loaves (not four) and don't roll it as thinly as suggested. The filling wants to escape, so I may try thickening it up with a bit of flour next time. Yum!
Jadeskiss83 Posted: 09/12/11
My family really enjoyed this recipe. The dough was a bit hard to manage due to the soft and stickiness as the other readers but just added some extra flour while kneading, worked out just fine. Since the filling was a bitty runny as the others commented, just added a bit a flour to thickenit up. I also added some chopped dried apricots to the filling which gave it some more asthetic appeal as well as making it more more apricot-ish. Overall, I thought it was a pretty tasty recipe.

MOORHEAD, Minn. (KFGO-AM) - Bond was set at $500,000, or $250,000 with conditions for a man accused of breaking into a Comstock, Minn. home and trying to kidnap his ex-girlfriend.
Fifty-two-year-old William Dean is facing charges including attempted kidnapping and assault with a dangerous weapon. Investigators say Dean physically assaulted the woman and shocked her with a taser.
Clay County Attorney Brian Melton says he asked for high bail because Dean is a threat to public safety.
Dean was tracked down by cell-phone towers as he left the area for Bismarck. He was brought back to Moorhead Thursday after he waived extradition.

Dear Friends,
As you are all aware this is a time of change for us here at St. Mary and St. Thomas, and during this time of change we all have to be willing to accept that things will not always operate as smoothly as they have in the past, believe me I have learned this first hand. It was my full intention to have our Mass schedules continue as they have until September with no modifications during my scheduled vacation. However, even though I and my staff have made the best efforts that we can, we are unable to provide coverage for the 10:15 AM Mass on August 10th, however, the 10:30 Mass will be held at St. Mary's in Coventry. In addition to this announcement I find it necessary to begin the new Mass schedule as of Saturday, August 23rdinstead of September 6th due to the unavailability of priests during August.
I want to extend my gratitude to you in advance for your understanding of this situation. It is not what I wanted or intended during this transition, however, the reality remains that there just aren't enough priests to go around, and until we have more men entering seminary and being ordained situations like this will occur more frequently as our aging priest population moves into retirement.
As always if you have any concerns you wish to discuss with me about this my door is open to you. I ask that you keep me, St. Mary's and St. Thomas in your prayers as we move forward in this new era for our two parishes.
God bless you all,
Fr. John
Parish Council Announcement
Parish Council Announcement
On July 15, 2014 there was a meeting of the Parish Councils of both St. Mary Church and St. Thomas Aquinas Church to discuss the combined Mass schedule. It was a wonderful meeting with the two councils getting to know each other and sharing our combined efforts to consider the needs of both parishes.
The result of the meeting was that the daily Mass will be at 12:20 p.m. at St. Thomas Aquinas, the reason for this is that the UConn students faithfully attend the daily Mass and many of them do not have transportation. The Vigil Masses will continue to be held at 5 p.m. at BOTH CHURCHES. The 8:15 a.m. Mass will continue to be held at St. Thomas Aquinas and the 10:30 a.m. Mass will continue to be held at St. Mary. Since the largest attendance for Mass is for the 10:15 and 10:30 it was noted that St. Mary has the most space to accommodate the amount of combined parishioners. The 7 p.m. Student Mass will continue to be held at St. Thomas for obvious reason.
St. Joseph Chapel in Eagleville will be re-purposed for First Friday Services and possibly Weddings.
We appreciate the cooperative spirit of our combined Parish Families and look forward to getting to know, and worship with, our neighbors.
Thank you,
Parish Councils of St. Mary and St. Thomas Aquinas
