Where Are Your Kids on the Lazy Meter?
- Friday, October 17, 2008
As parents, it is hard for us to see our kids unhappy, but we are unwise if we let this dictate how we raise them. A trait that I see too often in parents is they underestimate how much their children are capable of doing in terms of work (cleaning their rooms, doing dishes, scrubbing toilets, making beds, cleaning out cupboards, taking care of animals, etc). They imagine that they see "the strain in their little one's face" and they "just know little Hannah could not manage any more," and so they clean up the toys for her. It always makes me cringe, because it is obvious that the kids are learning a lesson on how to get somebody else to do stuff that they don't feel like doing. Parents also seem to overestimate their child's virtue: "My child would never steal, lie, treat other children badly, look at pornography, act out inappropriately, etc." But that is another subject for another day.
So are your children learning to be hard workers? Or are they learning to live an easy life? There is an easy test to see where your kids land on the Lazy Meter. You can gauge an awful lot by what they expect and whether or not they are thankful for what they have. If you told your sleepy children to walk up the stairs and put their own selves to bed, would they cry and whine? Why do they cry? It is because they expect you to do it for them. Do they cry when you tell them to clean their room? It's because they don't expect they should have to. Do they whine when you tell them they can't play on the slide? Then they have a worldview that expects to get what they want when they want it. Do they complain when you give them green beans? An unthankful child expects something better. Train them now, while they are young. I know you've met ungrateful, complainey, whiney, expectant adults, and they are never pretty. They expect you to go out of your way to make their life easier somehow. These adults were probably children of parents who "just wanted a sweet easy life" for their little pookie-pie-honey-melon. It's an easy trap to fall in to, but it is the child who suffers. May we teach our children wisely while we have the time.

PerspecSys President and CEO
The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) recently published a useful and informative report on cloud computing that provides key guidance for companies using or considering cloud services in the UK. The guidelines intend to help organizations comply with the 1998 Data Protection Act (DPA), and they offer welcome assistance for private and public enterprises struggling to avoid stiff non-compliance penalties from the watchdog agency.
The ICO emphasizes that cloud customers are responsible for ensuring data protection, whether they know it or not. Many businesses simply don't realize that data protection is their responsibility when processing is outsourced to a third party (i.e., a cloud provider).
The ICO makes several recommendations about how to assure cloud provider security measures and mitigate data access risks, including physical inspections of cloud provider facilities, third-party audits of security systems, and ongoing procedural reviews and updates. And what really makes sense is for the data controller to have a written contract with the data processor that places the same legal obligations on the processor as on the data controller itself. This becomes critical when you get down to the details of the DPA, which restrict data transfer outside of the EU without adequate protection for the rights and freedoms of data subjects. But by its very nature, cloud computing makes this difficult as data can be stored or processed on servers located anywhere in the world. In some cases, cloud providers can't even pinpoint where data is being stored at a given time, much less cloud customers. Reasons such as this make cloud service providers reluctant to agree the sorts of contractual requirements the ICO suggests.
Realizing that there is no such thing as an iron-clad SLA, the ICO encourages businesses to look for way to maintain control of their sensitive information. As a critical part of the guidance, it underlines encryption as a means to protect personal data in transit or at rest. With encryption, data controllers can maintain and enforce their own security measures at all times. The PerspecSys cloud data protection solution helps data controllers comply with UK laws because any information that is stored or processed in the cloud can be encrypted or tokenized, rendering it undecipherable. This gives organizations a practical, technically feasible way to overcome data privacy restrictions, take advantage of the cloud's numerous benefits, and maintain legal compliance.
The ICO also mentions another potential encryption benefit that pertains to international law enforcement. Foreign law enforcement agencies may have the power to demand access to personal data stored in foreign data centers. By storing encrypted rather than clear text information in the cloud, companies are further able to protect data subjects' privacy rights.
For more insight into these issues, check out PerspecSys' new whitepaper, Data Privacy & Compliance in the Cloud. Available for download from our website, the paper discusses how encryption and tokenization (which can be extremely valuable for organizations with data residency requirements) satisfy legal requirements and industry mandates associated with protecting sensitive data in cloud applications.

PerspecSys Inc. is a leading provider of cloud data security and SaaS security solutions that remove the technical, legal and financial risks of placing sensitive company data in the cloud. PerspecSys accomplishes this for many large, heavily regulated companies by never allowing sensitive data to leave a customer's network, while maintaining the functionality of cloud applications. Based in Toronto, PerspecSys Inc. is a privately held company backed by investors that include Intel Capital and GrowthWorks.

Compression stockings are used to support the muscles of the calf in circulating blood and lymph fluid through the legs. These stockings or hose are usually made of elastic or rubber fibers that aid in compressing the leg.
Compression stockings have a graduated compression with maximum compression at the ankle and decreasing up the leg. There are different types of compression available in these stockings, so be sure to check with your doctor about which level of compression would be best for you.
At CRL Surgical Associates, Dr. Lewis Owens, MD, FACS and Dr. John Ligush, MD, FACS offer their care and expertise as Charlottesville varicose veins doctors. Treating patients that suffer from venous dysfunction which results in painful and unsightly veins on the legs and other areas of the body is their specialty. With the latest varicose and spider veins care, there are a number of technological advancements which allow the body to heal in record time. Minimally invasive treatment mean that although there may be an anesthetic used, there is no need to involve surgery. Some procedure may require an incision to get a catheter or laser into the vein but this is only a minor and minimal incision. At this Charlottesville varicose veins clinic, treatments allow patients to get back to their every day activities without much inpatient treatment.
Since most treatments are considered outpatient, it is important to note that the average treatment session takes under an hour and patients are then released to get back to their day.

Sclerotherapy and laser vein removal are two of the most popular treatment options, as well as treatments which remove painful varicose veins that have become dangerous to the overall cardiovascular system. With the CRL Surgical Associates Charlottesville varicose veins clinic, treating venous dysfunction is made simple and easy.

AnthraxÆs latest release is a classic Ś but not necessarily classic Anthrax.
The eight-song ōAnthemsö EP, which came out last month, features the veteran thrash metal groupÆs take on Æ70s rock fare such as RushÆs ōAnthem,ö Thin LizzyÆs ōJailbreak,ö AC/DCÆs ōTNT,ö BostonÆs ōSmokinÆ,ö Cheap TrickÆs ōBig Eyesö and JourneyÆs ōKeep on RunninÆ.ö ItÆs not the formal follow-up to 2011Æs Grammy Award-nominated ōWorship Music,ö but guitarist and co-founder Scott Ian says it lets the band show another side of itself.
ōIt was a lot of fun, especially because a lot of those (songs) arenÆt, I guess, normal for us or like so much of our repertoire Ś although they are because theyÆre songs we all knew,ö explains Ian, 49. ōMaybe on paper the idea of us doing something like that seems weird, until you hear them and then it makes sense.
ōAnd Joey (Belladonna)Æs performance on the Journey song, specifically, really blows my mind. Someone mentioned that (Journey guitarist) Neal Schon better not hear this or we might lose our singer.ö
Ian says AnthraxÆs next album is in ōjust real infancy states,ö especially with the group between lead guitarists after Rob CaggianoÆs amicable departure (he subsequently joined NorwayÆs Volbeat). Jonathan Donais from Shadows Fall is filling in for the current Metal Alliance Tour.
Meanwhile, Ian is prepping for a Speaking Words Tour during May and June in the U.K., an outgrowth of a memoir heÆs working on that will find him telling stories and answering audience questions. Ian did a similar show during November in London and ōhad so much fun doing it, just getting up on stage and telling stories for two hours and interacting with people who came. It was like a weird high and a vibe I hadnÆt felt for a long time from a performance. As soon as I was done, I said to my agent, æHow do I do more of this?Æ IÆm totally into it.ö
Ian plans to film during the entire U.K. tour and is ōabsolutelyö planning to bring the spoken word show to North America in the near future.
The Metal Alliance Tour featuring Anthrax, Exodus, High On Fire, Municipal Waste and Holy Grail plays April 6, at the Fillmore Detroit, 2115 Woodward Ave. Doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets are $20-$35 with a $40 four-pack. Call 313-961-5450 or visit www.livenation.com.

Alabama is playing a "cupcake", but the Tide fans have a big reason to watch college football this weekend. Also we have lots of SEC teams trying to get into the post season.
Here are my Top Ten Games of Week:
10. Syracuse @ Missouri – Saturday – 6pm CST – ESPN-U
This is a big game for the Tigers as they try to become bowl eligible.
9. #3 Notre Dame vs. Wake Forest – Saturday – 2:30pm CST – Alabama's 13
One of three games Alabama fans will have their eye on. It should be all Irish in this one, but you never know after seeing them play close with Pitt.
8. Mississippi State vs. Arkansas – Saturday – 11:21am CST – SEC Network
The Bulldogs have lost three in a row and the Razorbacks are trying to close out season strong and get to a bowl game.
7. #7 LSU vs. Ole Miss – Saturday – 2:00pm CST – CBS
Ole Miss is another team in need of one more win to get to a bowl game, but at LSU will not be easy.
6. Tennessee @ Vanderbilt – Saturday – 6:00pm CST – ESPN 2
The Dores are going bowling, but the Vols have to win out.
5. #1 Kansas State @ Baylor – Saturday – 7:00pm CST – ESPN
This is another game Alabama will have their eye on, but can the Baylor Bears find away to pull off the upset? I'm not sure if they will have the defense.
4. #23 Texas Tech @ #24 Oklahoma State – Saturday – 2:30pm CST
This game is about as even as they come, and should make for a close ball game.
3. Ohio State @ Wisconsin – Saturday – 2:30pm CST - ABC
Ohio State is still unbeaten, but Wisconsin has finally started to click. This might be the week the Buckeyes fall.
2. #18 USC @ #17 UCLA – Saturday - 2:05pm CST – FOX
This one is for the PAC12 south and of course bragging rights in LA.
1. #2 Oregon vs. #13 Stanford - Saturday – 7:00pm CST - ABC
The main game Alabama fans will have their eye on is the big PAC12 showdown. This will be the best front 7 Oregon's high flying offense has faced to date, and the Ducks are pretty beat up as well.

Amazon Studios 2.0 - Another Interview with Roy Price
Source: Genre Hacks & @RoyPrice
#screenwriting #film #contest
"Last year I interviewed Amazon Studios Director, Roy Price, about Amazon's commitment to "develop movies in a new way" (see: Amazon Studios: An Interview with Roy Price.) At that time there was still a lot of skepticism among screenwriters about Amazon's option policy, their relationship with the WGA, and the exposure of scripts (and ideas) to the public after uploading.
Never the less, the experience of writers and filmmakers who won prizes and entered the Amazon development and test-film process was mostly positive (see: An Amazon Studios Screenwriter.) What I found interesting about Amazon was that they were willing to adjust their policies and the process based on feedback from the writers and filmmakers themselves, which struck me as unique in the closed world of Hollywood studios and production companies.
A week ago, Amazon announced additional changes to address writers' concerns, and as a result, "Amazon Studios 2.0" (as one blogger put it) has been met with cautious enthusiasm by several of its most prominent critics (Read the reaction of The Bitter Script Reader, and listen to John August's Podcast.)
So once again, I spoke with Amazon Studios head Roy Price to gain a little insight on the studio's intentions…
SH: Last Friday, April 6, Amazon Studios announced a major revision in the deal it is offering to screenwriters and filmmakers. Does this indicate a major shift in Amazon's core philosophy and goals?
RP: Our core philosophy and goals have stayed the same—we still believe that an open door and a large scale feedback driven development process will help us make great movies that audiences will love. We received a lot of great feedback from writers last year, and we listened. The changes we have made were all done to present a more desirable offer to screenwriters and filmmakers.
SH: One of the major stumbling blocks for screenwriters had been the "18 month option" that scribes had to agree to just to upload their scripts. How has that option agreement changed, and why do you think it's a better deal?
RP: Now, when you upload your script we automatically have a 45 day exclusive option and evaluation period, instead of the 18 months. After 45 days we will either pay you $10,000, or you can take your script back. You can also stay to get feedback from the community and exchange ideas with other writers on the site, but you can take your project down at any time. You're not tied to us. I think people will prefer that.
SH: Previously, writers belonging to the Writers' Guild of America could not submit scripts, because Amazon Studios was not signatory. This caused a lot of criticism from writers worried about residuals, screen credit, and other rights protected by the union. Now Amazon has signed with the WGA, and members can submit. What prompted this change?
RP: At Amazon Studios we have an open door for all writers and we want to make sure that any writer can share their story with us. Making our production affiliate (People's Production Company) a signatory to the WGA allows us to hear ideas from more writers. We're about being open to everyone.
SH: Amazon will be no longer holding screenplay contests and giving away prize money. What is the reasoning behind this shift? Was Amazon Studios being confused with traditional "screenplay contests?"
RP: We found some great projects last year through the screenplay contests and met some great people; 14 of the scripts on our development slate were award winners. We realized that we could just have an open door and option things like a normal production company. It doesn't have to be a contest………."

Some of the artists we represent: Rodolfo Morales, Nahum B. Zenil, Carlos Jaurena, Mario Romero, Artemio Rodriguez, Efrain Castro, Rafael Rodriguez, Gabriel Mendoza to name a few. New artists are added occasionally and one-man and group shows are constantly on view and changed periodically.

Jacob David Sudol: "Sing/Lose" (2007)
For chamber ensemble (15 players)
Performed by the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne conducted by Lorraine Vaillancourt
Not available commercially
* * * * *
First off I have to apologize for my long lack of posts. With this post I plan to return to my previous regular rate of postings.
This is the recording of the piece I wrote over the summer that was magnificently premiered by the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne at the 2007 Domaine Forget New Music Sessions in northern Québec earlier this summer. The rehearsal process was pretty painless and with each subsequent reading I became more and more pleasantly surprised. I've included the program note below.
* * *
The title "Sing/Lose" refers to the two primary preoccupations in my music, and in this piece – as in all my music – I approach these preoccupations abstractly. For example, "Sing" does not refer literally to singing but to a lyricism in the phrases and timbres, as well as to an almost breath-like musical flow. Likewise, "Lose" does not refer to any specific loss but to Andrei Tarkovsky's assertion that "the life force of music is materialized on the brink of its own total disappearance." In this piece "Lose" refers to the eventual disintegration, decay, even death of the work's organic material and form.
"Sing/Lose" was written for the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne and the New Music Sessions at the 2007 Domaine Forget international music festival in northeastern Québec. I composed the piece during the summer of 2007, at the end of a three-year stay in Montréal. The piece is dedicated to all those who have been close to me during my sojourn in Montréal.

They shouldn't satirise the show, though. It was already tongue-in-cheek. This is a sendup of a sendup, so it's cancelling itself out.Parodies often delight in pointing out works' contradictions and silly nature. But sometimes, parodies mistakenly spoof a work that's intentionally contradictory or silly. The spoof writer misses the point of the original, mocking it for entirely intended qualities. Similarly, parodies often play with original works by throwing in silliness of their own. But the writer may underestimate the original's capacity for incongruous situations, characterization or dialogue, falsely thinking such elements will necessarily parody the source. The result is a silly work but one that duplicates the original rather than mocking it. Compare Spoofing Spoofiness, when a spoof knowingly mocks a work's ironic qualities. See also Redundant Parody, which occurs when a parody unwittingly reproduces an exact joke from the original. Contrast Shallow Parody, which is when a work spoofs another work for qualities that they didn't really have to begin with.

"In six short chapters, EDISON REX has already built a fascinating new world, charging breakneck off in its own direction." - Kurt Busiek (ASTRO CITY, SUPERMAN: SECRET IDENTITY)
"A simple idea played out with surprising (and riveting) complexity. Everything I love about superheroes and supervillains rolled into one great story." - Mark Waid (KINGDOM COME, INSUFFERABLE)
"EDISON REX is nearly too much fun for sentient Earth folks to handle. It's funny and self-aware, and just old fashioned enough to pull up memories of the time such things as graphic stories were guilty pleasures rather than cultural phenomena." - Elliot S! Maggin (LAST SON OF KRYPTON, MIRACLE MONDAY)
The collection will feature an introduction by Kurt Busiek, pinups by Ramon Villalobos and Thomas N. Perkins IV, "making of" and behind the scenes extras, and more!
Publisher: IDEA & DESIGN WORKS LLC
(W) Chris Roberson (A/CA) Dennis Culver
Edison Rex is the smartest man in the world, a criminal genius, and the arch-nemesis of the world's greatest protector, Valiant. Having dedicated his life to defeating Valiant and proving once and for all that he is a menace to humanity and not a hero, what will Edison do once he finally succeeds? And with Valiant out of the way, who will be left to protect the Earth?

Hormones and Your Body: 6 Surprising Effects

- Effects of Everyday Habits
- Age-by-Age Guide to Hormones
Effects of Everyday Habits
These everyday habits influence your hormones:
Exercising regularly: This disease-beating habit has been found to help keep hormones, including estrogen, at a healthy, stable level, thus lowering cancer risk.
Eating healthy: If you're underweight, you're likely not producing enough estrogen, which can raise your risk of osteoporosis. Carrying extra pounds can stimulate too much estrogen, increasing your risk of breast cancer. A balanced diet that includes no more than 35 percent of calories from fat (mostly the heart-healthy vegetable and lean-protein kind) can help your body maintain ideal hormone levels.
Smoking: Lighting up causes you to produce less estrogen, a risk factor for osteoporosis. Smokers also tend to experience menopause two years earlier than nonsmokers (also due to less estrogen), which ups heart disease risk.
Drinking too much: Indulging in more than one alcoholic drink per day is associated with too-high estrogen levels, which can increase breast cancer risk.

Watch Motives and Murder
"Motives and Murder" is the investigative documentary program that follows law enforcement agencies, as police and crime scene technicians track down notorious killers. This program takes an in-depth look at the investigation process that the police and the FBI use as they investigate some of the brutal murders that are reported in the United States. One key investigative tool is understanding the motive behind the murder for a sense of getting inside of the mind of the murderer. Along with the police, to help solve a homicide are crime scene technicians and forensic scientists at state crime laboratories who are also in colaboration with the homicide investigation team.
A homicide investigation is a complex puzzle, each clue that is discovered by police is a piece of the larger puzzle of the motive. Depending if the killer has only one victim or in the case of a serial killer having multiple victims, investigators must make a profile of the crime as well as the killer who commited the murder, knowing that motive is the deciding key to solving the murder. Crimes of passion, revenge killings and sometimes the so called honor killings, all of these type of murders have motives attatched to them in some way or form.
Most people don't realize that a murderer can be someone they know in their neighborhood. In cases where a murder happens in a residential neighborhood, police will interview the neighbors of the victim as part of the investigative procedure. Discovering the motive behind the murder itself, this can bring police closer to solving a homicide case. Forensic evidence like DNA is used to identify both victims and killers from biological fluids and hair samples that is analyzed in a crime lab. No matter how long a homicide investigation is, forensic evidence is the one key in uncovering the evidence to help solve the murder.

A drug dealer seeking to go legit discovers that getting out of the game is easier said than done when he winds up framed for murder, and given just 12 hours to pay back the dangerous thug who's put a price on his head.

Repeatedly turned down by his customers as he attempts to establish a career in events management, Tony finds his problems multiplying when his underworld contacts set him up to take a big fall. Now the clock is ticking, and the only reason Tony is still alive is because he has yet to pay his debts. Now, unless Tony manages to raise some serious cash in the next 12 hours, he won't have to worry about his future, because he won't have one. Jason Buchanan, Rovi

NORTHFIELD, Vt. (AP) - Officials at Vermont's Norwich University say they've exceeded their goal for a fundraising campaign they called "Bearing the Torch."
The 3-year campaign by the Northfield university that lasted through the end of 2012 raised about $24 million, exceeding its original goal of $20.2 million.
It was the fifth Norwich fundraising campaign in a row that exceeded its goal since 1984 when the school launched "Norwich 2000."
The campaign largely supports a scholarship endowment.
Funds raised also support campus infrastructure, including the building of the Shaw Outdoor Center and the renovation of Sabine Field.
Norwich describes itself as the nation's oldest private military college, but it also has civilian students.

Don Mattingly's son will play basketball for Bobby Knight's son this fall.
Preston Mattingly, a former Dodgers' first-round pick, is returning to what he always considered his best sport. He has committed to Lamar University in Texas, where he will play under Coach Pat Knight.
Lamar is a Division I school that plays in the Southland Conference. The Cardinals made the most recent of their six NCAA tournament appearances in 2012. They reached the Sweet 16 in 1980.
Mattingly, who turns 26 next month, was the Dodgers' top selection in the 2006 draft. But he never advanced past Class A.
Mattingly was traded to the Indians in September 2010, but was released the following spring. He was in the New York Yankees' minor league spring training camp last year, but was cut.
"Basketball came naturally for me," Mattingly said. "Baseball, it took me a while to learn how to do stuff. Being an Indiana kid, you grow up, all you do is play basketball."
Mattingly, who is 6-foot-3, said he averaged 21 points per game as a high school senior. Mattingly said he was always a better basketball player than a baseball player. His father agrees.
Mattingly returned to his native Indiana a few months ago and started working out with Brent Chitty, his former coach at Evansville Central High. Chitty called another of his former players, Pat Knight, and told him he had a player for him.
Mattingly visited Lamar and was offered a scholarship.
"I'm really excited," Mattingly said.

How can we light indoor spaces in the most psychologically beneficial way possible whilst still keeping sustainability in mind?
As part of my final year interior architecture degree, I'm studying light and how it effects us psychologically in the context of indoor spaces. I'd love to know your thoughts on how light can and does effect our positive well being and the most effective ways we can achieve this. I'd also like to know your suggestions on if we can achieve this whilst also being sustainable both economically and environmentally.
Any examples, research or other interesting information you can add would be greatly appreciated!

Help fund a film about synesthesia.
All You Need Is LOVE: Hello everyone!
I'd like to take this time to say that unless you are also physically disabled you should not be using the word "crippling". I'm going through submissions now and I saw an anon use that word, and I haven't decided if I'm going to let it be submitted at this…
So…I'm not allowed to say that I have crippling depression? Metaphors aren't allowed to exist anymore? It's literal time forever?
no, you're not.
and if your metaphor relies on slurs then it's a shit metaphor and you should feel bad.
[edited] The word "crippling" has been used in many, many more contexts than physical disability throughout history. It was used as early as 960 AD but only became a slur in the 1970s. The word has many contexts, and as long as you don't use it to insult a person, I don't see the problem with it. I see you bullying people who disagree with you on your tumblr, but who gave you monopoly over language?
I'd like to take this time to say that unless you are also physically disabled you should not be using the word "crippling". I'm going through submissions now and I saw an anon use that word, and I haven't decided if I'm going to let it be submitted at this…

"Why is the term "friend zone" so popular when the term "unrequited love" already exists and is more accurate? I suspect it's because it shifts the locus of responsibility. "Unrequited love" focuses on the person who has the crush. The feelings being discussed are the crushing person's, thus the responsibility in on them to get over their crush and move on. "Friend zone", on the other hand, focuses on the crush object's choices. The phrase erases the agency of the crushing person. All blame for their pain is put on the crush object. "Unrequited love" is something that can happen to both sexes, but "friend zone" is a sexist concept that implies that women are solely responsible for men's happiness, and not men themselves."
Amanda Marcotte's post on Feminism | Latest updates on Sulia (via veruca-assault)
Oh please. It isn't "unrequited love" because a crush generally is not love. When an asker asks an askee out, the asker is effectively putting power into the askee's hands. Men are traditionally the ones who ask women out, not the other way around, so it is the woman's decision, not the man's (as he has already made his decision) that determines whether he will be friend-zoned or not. And the term "friend-zoned" in no way implies that "the woman is solely responsible for the man's happiness" - all it means is what it sounds like, that the woman wants to be the man's friend and nothing more. It doesn't imply that the man will now be miserable because of this woman, just that he won't have her in a romantic way.
Being asked out is one area in which women actually have power over men, so why must we turn everything into a form of oppression against women? I mean really. This is why people detest feminists.
[Note: I'm pleased to see that in the orginial post, the commenters are saying pretty much what I'm saying. I'm not pleased to see, however, that this has 40,000+ notes on tumblr, most of which are likes and reblogs without commentary.]
So I've already had this exact discussion before, and it ultimately lead to me being called str8ie after explicitly stating my gayness, so in order to skip all that, I'm just going to put that as a huge disclaimer, right from the get-go. I personally don't really like disclosing this sort of shit for internet arguments, but either you fall in line with w/e sja style concept is being presented, or you are the evil oppressor, and if I have to drop the "I'm gay" bomb to get people to actually give two shits, then y'know what, I will.
-applause- A little lengthy and repetitive at points, but way better put than I could have done l. Bravo!
Also, I find it sad that on tumblr, you have to be of a certain identity for people to even consider your opinion on certain subjects. I mean, I guess people would argue that "well white hetero cismen have that privilege in non-tumblr America" (which I don't even think is true in this day and age, but that's another issue), but this is a case where two wrongs don't make a right. Focus on getting your message out there, not on trying to block the messages of others. I believe in free and open debate where we are all welcome to participate, regardless of identity, and we should never be put down for our identities*. Isn't that what America is about?
*Unless you identify as something other than human or as a multiple system AND you don't have a psychiatric condition like lycanthropy or multiple personality disorder or schizophrenia. I still won't put down your arguments, though, unless your arguments consist of demanding that I accept your "identity."

"not every work of fiction needs to have queer characters or poc in it"
step outside your house. walk a few blocks. every day has queer people and poc in it. unless this work of fiction takes place in your basement then in fact every work of fiction needs to have queer characters AND poc in it
It really depends on when and where the story is located. The world is not a homogeneous place with an equal distribution of POC and queer people everywhere at every time. Wellesley College probably has at least 20% queer people; other places have less than 1%. In some areas, 90% of the people are black; in other areas, 90% of the people are white. My high school, with a population of about 6,000 people, had maybe five or six Asian students during the time I was there. That is less than one tenth of one percent. At Stony Brook, by contrast, 25% of the students are Asian. You tell me to step outside my house and look around my neighborhood. There is not a single POC on my block. There are a few further out, but I don't really know them. There are people in some areas who have never met a queer person before, at least not an openly queer person, and such people would have a difficult time incorporating queer people into a work of fiction.
Not every Shakespearean story had a POC, and when they did, it was often to make a point, as in Othello. Modern takes of Romeo and Juliet in which the two houses are people of different colors are great, but given the society that Shakespeare lived in, it would not have been appropriate for him to have written the story that way. To Kill a Mockingbird doesn't have any queer characters (except possibly Dill, but we don't know that from the story), which, again, would have been inappropriate for the time and place it was written and probably would have distracted the reader from the main message of the story.
POC and queer people are as much a part of humanity as anyone else, but there are many more things that distinguish one human from another than skin color, gender identity, and sexual orientation. Adding POC and queer people to a story out of obligation just makes for forced story elements. By all means, include POC and queer people in your story if it feels right to you, but don't feel that you have to, either.
want to go and see Pacific Rim…
who wants to come with me?
I do!

35% off Silicone Menstrual Cups from Lunette ($5 Shipping added at checkout)
Your grandma didn't use tampons.
Your granddaughter won't either.
Feminine care has evolved.
Over the past 70 years, a woman's choice for internal menstrual care has pretty much been limited to tampons.? Now there is an alternative that is healthier for our bodies, our environment and our pocketbook — the Lunette menstrual cup.
Lunette is made of soft, medical grade silicone.? Just fold, insert like a tampon, and it collects rather than absorbs menstrual flow. You empty it rather than change it – a little bit different.
Why is it so great?? It's . . .
- Convenient:? Because it can hold far more flow than a tampon, you can wear it far longer
- Safe:? Because it is made of silicone, you can safely wear it for up to 12 hours
- Hygienic:? Silicone is not a hospitable environment for bacteria and there are no fibers to be left behind
- Comfortable:? The silicone is soft and flexible
- An eco-thing: It creates zero waste
- Economical: No need to purchase disposables every month
A Lunette menstrual cup is an alternative way for women to reduce human impact on the environment — every month.? Not to mention, a nice way to reduce the impact of your period on your life.
Customer Reviews
"I love Lunette so much! Best product all females should know about!" (More...)
"I wish I had known about menstrual cups years ago but I'm so grateful to have learned about them now. The Lunette was comfortable from the first use and using it was almost like not having a period at all." (More...)
"Oh Lunette, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways." (More...)

The risks of absolute medical confidentiality
Crook, M.A. (2011) The risks of absolute medical confidentiality. Science and Engineering Ethics. ISSN 1353-3452 (Print), 1471-5546 (Online) (In Press) (doi:10.1007/s11948-011-9283-1)Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11948-011-9283-1
Some ethicists argue that patient confidentiality is absolute and thus should never be broken. I examine these arguments that when critically scrutinised, become porous. I will explore the concept of patient confidentiality and argue that although, this is a very important medical and bioethical issue, this needs to be wisely delivered to reduce third party harm or even detriment to the patient. The argument for absolute confidentiality is particularly weak when it comes to genetic information and inherited disease.

Crackdown on Tax Avoidance
Here's what the Chancellor said in his Autumn Statement on how he will crackdown on tax avoidance:-
"The latest figures show that 30 per cent of all income tax is paid by just 1 per cent of taxpayers.
"We've given incentives to enterprise, cut punitive tax rates.
"But alongside those paying the most tax are those who try to avoid paying their fair share of tax.
"So today we set out in detail the largest package of measures to tackle tax avoidance, tax evasion, fraud and error so far this Parliament.
"Together it will raise over £9 billion over the next five years.
"We're going to tackle the growth of intermediaries disguising employment as false self employment, depriving workforces of basic employment rights like the minimum wage in a bid to avoid employer national insurance.
"We'll halve the final period exemption for capital gains tax private residence relief. We will end the abuse of dual contracts, offshore oil and gas contracting, derivatives linked to profits and share buy backs.
"And we will ensure the tax advantages of partnerships aren't abused either.
"We are introducing a new, limited power that requires people to pay upfront their taxes where the scheme they used has already been struck down by the courts. 2
We'll know more about the detail of the crackdown on Tax Avoidance in the coming days.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Trevvett has a great sense of spirit and happiness about it. My daughter loved her kindergarten year and is excited about going back for first grade. We wish we could see the teachers more at outside of school events but see the principal very often and she knows every student by name which makes every child feel special.
Maude Trevvett is an excellent school with excellent teachers and office staff! The principal there really makes every effort to make the school a place the students want to be. As a parent, I thoroughly enjoyed all of the assemblies based around celebrating the children academically. This school is amazing and has a wonderful upbeat feeling. The teachers are very easy to talk to and willing to listen to (and address) any concerns you have for your student.
I loved Mr. Heatley and all of the teachers are wonderful. I will always have fond memories of Maude Trevvett!
As a staff member at Trevvett I am honored to work with such a wonderful group of people. The teachers and administration strive for excellence and to create a positive educational experience for every child! As our community evolves and grows, our teachers are always working hard to meet their needs and bring out their best.
Trevvett was awful. The students are below average, the teachers try to leave every year, and the academics are negligable.
This is a wonderful school. When I dropped my son off, the principal was there to greet him by name. I found the teachers to be very caring and nurturing, and feel that my son achieved to the best of his ability. I wish he could stay for 6th grade~
Our son id in the first grade at Trevvett and he is one of the top in the first grade class!! He is reading above the first grade level and Trevvett has been great with working with him instead of keeping him in the first grade reading class he gets to go to a 'special' class for students who read above their grade level! I'm so glad he is able to be challenged no matter how advanced he may get!!
I have been very pleased with Trevvett the staff is wonderful and my child has enjoyed her experience at Trevvett.
I am currently in the 7th grade but i did attend maude trevvette elementary. While I was in 5th grade the school was remodled and is now a beautiful school. the library was made smaller. The cafeteria was also redone along with every classroom. The school is clean and the teachers do care about thier students.

High Frenquency trading
New York's Schneiderman seeks curbs on high-frequency traders. Robot wars: How high frequency trading changed global markets. A controversial trading practice may be living on borrowed time (Photo: Shutterstock) Welcome to the world's most intense electronic battle.
It's waged on world stock markets and the ammunition is tiny fractions of pennies, fired through super-charged computers. The object is to wipe out the opposition. The theatre of war is a long way from the raucous bear pit of baying stock traders. Instead, capital is unleashed in a cavernous space, lined with banks of computer servers and chilled by air conditioning. Skynet is *fuc…* your economy : oh my brain ! (le HFT — High Frequency Trading — est très certainement l'une des causes importantes des casse-gueules à répétitions des « marchés », mais qu'est-ce qui fait tourner ce HFT ?
Petit essai de vulgarisation du concept sous-jacent de la boucle de rétroaction Skynet (joli surnom emprunté au film « Terminator » où l'intelligence artificielle mondiale créée par une entreprise éponyme (Skynet) déclenche la perte de l'humanité en retournant les robots contre les êtres humains…) de la finance… « L'I.A de la finance internationale, Skynet, vient de couler l'économie de ton pays et t'emm…toi et tes 60 millions de compatriotes…bip… » C'est à peu près le message que l'on pourrait recevoir des ordinateurs impliqués dans Le High Frequency Trading, largement en cause dans la crise financière actuelle, comme un article récent sur Reflets l'a très bien expliqué. Mais comment ça marche ce truc ?
Interview - Farzine Fazel : « Les principaux acteurs du Trading Haute Fréquence sont des boutiques spécialisées ou des Hedge Funds » Nous faisons le point sur le Trading Haute Fréquence avec Farzine Fazel et Mohamed Radjabou, respectivement Senior Partner et consultant chez Capco qui suggèrent d'encadrer cette activité qui recèle un potentiel de déstabilisation des marchés dans leur ensemble...
Next-Finance : Plusieurs grandes banques affirment ne pas prendre part à ce type d'activités. Quels sont les principaux acteurs du Trading Haute Fréquence ? Farzine Fazel et Mohamed Radjabou : Effectivement on ne trouve pas forcément d'acteurs connus du grand public dans le Trading Haute Fréquence. 60 Minutes - High Frequency Trading.
High-frequency trading. Max Keiser and Ellen Brown discuss High Frequency Trading. Exclusive: Regulators seek trading secrets. High-Frequency Trading Is Evil, Right? Not So, Says the BIS - The Source. By Eva Szalay Everyone knows that high-frequency traders are the evil geniuses of the foreign-exchange market, right?
They damage liquidity, swoop aggressively on tiny price errors, curdle milk with their oh-so-fancy computers and generally make the market harder for everyone to navigate. That's what their detractors say. But the Bank for International Settlements, no less, doesn't seem to agree. Goodbye High Frequency Trading - Regulators Seek Secret HFT Codes. The crusade against High Frequency Trading which Zero Hedge started well over two years ago, is now coming to an end.
Reuters reports that U.S. securities regulators have "taken the unprecedented step of asking high-frequency trading firms to hand over the details of their trading strategies, and in some cases, their secret computer codes. " As everyone knows, the only thing of value within the sub-penny scalping HFT universe are the odd nuances in computer code. How High Frequency Trading Affects The Market | xTiburon.com. Risk from High Frequency and Algorithmic Trading Not as Big as Many Think. Skynet begins to learn, at a geometric rate.It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. eastern time, August 29.In a panic, they try to pull the plug.-- Terminator 2 There is a general view that one way or another the end result of all the high frequency and algorithmic trading will be a blowup.
But I don't think the risk is as big as many are making it out to be. First, let me point out the difference between high frequency trading and algorithmic trading. Both execute using computers, and since computers work really fast, both can be accused of whatever sins are embodied in millisecond trading. High frequency trading is a type of proprietary trading. "It's Not A Market, It's An HFT 'Crop Circle' Crime Scene" - Further Evidence Of Quote Stuffing Manipulation By HFT. Recently we posted a required reading analysis by Nanex in which the market trading analytics firm presented irrefutable evidence of quote stuffing by HFT algorithms in tens of stocks, in which thousands of cancelled quotes would reappear each second with a definitive periodicity and regularity, around the time of the May 6 flash crash.
Aside from the fact that it is illegal to indicate a quote without a trade intent, this form of quote stuffing is in fact manipulative when conducted by HFT repeaters in specific "shapes" as it actually moves the NBBO actively higher or lower, in cases pushing the bid/offer range up to 10% higher without even one trade ever having occurred, simply by masking a big block order which other algos interpret as bid interest and pull all offers progressively or step function higher (or vice versa, although we have rarely if ever seen the walking down of a stock over the past 18 months). Quant trading: How mathematicians rule the markets. 26 September 2011Last updated at 00:22 By Richard Anderson Business reporter, BBC News Mathematicians and their trading programs are increasingly taking the place of professional investors in financial centres across the world Trading floors were once the preserve of adrenalin-fuelled dealers aggressively executing the orders of brokers who relied on research, experience and gut instinct to decide where best to invest.
Long ago computers made dealers redundant, yet brokers and their ilk have remained the masters of the investment universe, free to buy and sell wherever they see fit. Apparently, Google does not have the best programmers, High Frequency Trading firms do : programming. Algorithmic Trading is Not High Frequency Trading. September 13, 2011 It's not every day I come across a widely-shared article whose first sentence is factually incorrect, but a 9/9/11 story in Computerworld UK, "Algorithmic stock trading rapidly replacing humans, warns government paper", is just such a creature.
The first sentence begins, "Algorithmic trading, also known as high frequency trading (HFT), is rapidly replacing human decision making, according to a government panel…" How and Why Wall Street Programmers Earn Top Salaries.

Yesterday morning, just before work I made a few snapshots with the Nokia Lumia 1020 and Samsung Galaxy S5. Yes, it was a sunny day, but the scenes I captured had quite some shadow too. Next to that I managed to get one shot in a pretty dark studio – I will make more low light shots as I promised, I just didn't have the time yet – too busy discovering Windows Phone 8.1 on the Lumia 1520 :-)
In general, you can see the Samsung Galaxy S5 gives you a bit brighter result when you put all the shots next to each other, like below.
Of course, these are the shots you will see in detail in this post – in the exact same order. The resized version are from the 5MP shot of the Lumia 1020 (first) and the 16MP shot of the Galaxy S5. The difference in light is quite remarkable in the first shot.
Next you'll see the 640 x 360 crops I chose from parts of the shot, presented in 5MP, 16MP and 34MP. Note the Samsung Galaxy S5 gives you its highest resolution in 16:9 format. And note the 34MP shot coming from the Nokia Lumia 1020 is not (or hardly) using any "oversampling".
Now on the opposite side of this charming litte blue house, you'll find the chairs stored for winter – the little "beach club" is still waiting for the season to start. First the Nokia Lumia 1020, next the Samsung Galaxy S5.
To see if I would get some more light in the shot I tried HDR on the Galaxy S5 as well. You can see a clear difference on the wooden ceiling and floor.
Next, the crops – again 5MP, 16MP and 34MP
Next, a classic pond nearby. Again, first the Nokia Lumia 1020 (5MP) and Samsung Galaxy S5 (16MP). Note the much lighter stone tiles in the lower left corner of the Galaxy S5.
You know the drill: crops from the center of the shot, from 5MP (Lumia 1020 PureView), 16MP (Galaxy S5) and 34MP (Nokia Lumia 1020 high-res). In fact it's pretty hard to compare, since however slightly, the water does move of course.
Hope you don't mind me going on with two more shots :-) Also in this scene, you'll see the lighter result from the Galaxy S5. Is it as natural? I don't think so, but it's not disturbing either.
And the crops – 5MP, 16MP and 34MP.
Last, a reallly lowlight situation so many readers asked for, captured in a studio at work.
And the crops in the same order: Lumia 1020, Galaxy S5 and Lumia 1020 high-res (34MP)
I'll leave it to you to make up your mind about these shots, I'm looking forward to your reactions below.
My next comparison will be completely dedicated to low light shots. Many people have been urging me to include the Nokia 808 PureView in a next comparison as well, I'll try to do so. From what I've read, the S5 doesn't really perform well in low light situations, but I'm looking forward to see how much I can squeeze out of the sensor.
I want to try out the available ISO settings on the Galaxy S5 as well (if offers up to ISO 800), so that will even take more time – I hope you'll be patient :-) As always, you'll find all the original shots on Flickr to check all the details for yourself. To conclude: if you like what I'm doing here, hit that "Donate" button on the right side of this page please. The site doesn't maintain itself :-)

'Windows could not start the WLAN autoconfig service on Local Computer
OK let's see what's up. Yesterday I woke up and suddenly my wifi wasn't showing any networks and my wifi manager kept crashing. I have a Samsung RV511 and for the year or so that I've had it there has never been this problem. Following instructions I found online I've done just about everything but everytime I try and start up the autoconfig service in 'services' I get error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.
I found this post on this forum: http://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/182009-wireless-service-cant-start.html
I did all the things mentioned, including downloading the reg files again from the link given in the thread, but to no avail. I even went to the drastic measure of deleting my wifi and lan drives from the network adapters part of Device Manager and downloaded two from the Samsung website. The computer is exactly how it was though; my LAN remains intact while wifi is just the same. I've run virus scans (I've had Avast since November 2011), run wise doctor to fix registry and used SuperAntiSpyware to remove any spyware it found. Overall I spent almost 16 hours trying to sort this yesterday and I'm at my wit's end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, even though the LAN works from my downloaded drivers, is it possible I have the wrong one for my wifi? Or are they somewhat interchangeable?

Maybe your WiFi card has failed. It can happen.
Does Samsung have a hardware diagnostic program you can run.
|My System Specs
|11 Oct 2012
Gave that a go, as far as I'm aware there were no problems. Tried a basic system restoration using Samsung System Restoration utility at startup which did more harm than good, causing my computer to have the equivalent of an epileptic fit and become completely unusable. Was forced to do a Complete System Restoration using the same utility and now everything's working fine (at the expense of a large amount of software and data). I had been meaning to get round to clearing up the drives a bit so at least I can tick that off the list in excess.
Thanks for your help anyway edwar!

MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - A grand jury will decide whether to indict former Monroe Engineer Department head Sinyale Morrison for payroll fraud. Assistant District Attorney Neal Johnson tells KNOE he has called the grand jury into session on February 21 at 9 a.m.
In November, Morrison resigned to "pursue other interests". In 2011, a state legislative audit found that Morrison may have violated state law by hiring an employee for a job he wasn't qualified for. She is accused of giving him and other employees hundreds of hours of unapproved overtime pay. Auditors also said Morrison herself took more than 40 hours off from work, but the time wasn't deducted from her leave.
The state police conducted a nearly year long investigation into the matter and turned over the criminal investigation report to the District Attorneys office in August.

AIKEN, S.C. – Senior forward Charles Blue scored a game-high 17 points and hauled in seven boards but it would not be enough as Limestone (21-9, 15-5 CC) fell just short of No. 4 seed and No. 25 Wingate (22-8, 14-4 SAC), dropping a 65-60 decision in an NCAA Division II Southeast Regional men's basketball game on Saturday, March 16.
Blue led the Saints with his near double-double while senior guard Mike Barrett and junior guard PJ Foster each had 14 points. Senior center Phillip Moultrie added 10 points and six boards while playing with flu-like symptoms and senior forward Joe Raga had nine boards in his final collegiate game.
Trailing 58-53 with 6:19 to play, the Saints would step up defensively and hold Wingate scoreless over the next 4:18 and put together a 7-0 run behind four points from Blue and the go-ahead three-pointer from PJ Foster with 2:22 showing on the clock.
That run left them with a 60-58 lead before the Bulldogs quickly responded with the tying basket just 21 seconds later on the other end. On their next two trips down the floor, Limestone could not hit and was forced to foul defensively. From there, Wingate converted on three of their next four free throws to make it a three-point lead with 19 seconds to play.
The Saints raced back down court on their next possession with Foster getting a good look at a three that just went awry. After one more foul, the Bulldogs' Odell Turner knocked down two more free throws to salt away the five point victory.
Limestone got off to a blazing start as they raced out to leads of 7-2 and 10-4 in the first 4:30 behind three buckets from Blue and a triple from PJ Foster. They would stretch that lead to 15-7 at the 14:00 mark before the Bulldogs knocked down a three to get to within 15-10.
Back-to-back triples by Foster and Blue then squelched that mini run and made it 21-10 with 11:41 on the clock. With the score at 24-14 just two minutes later, Wingate used a 5-1 stretch to cut the deficit to 25-19 at 5:49.
Another three, this one from Barrett, made it seven of nine threes that the Saints had connected on and pushed their lead to 28-19. The Bulldogs, however, would not go away as they put together an impressive 13-5 run to close to within 33-32 at the half.
The Saints would briefly lose the lead over the opening minutes of the second half but would outscore Wingate 12-8 to maintain a 45-40 advantage. However, six straight points gave the Bulldogs a narrow 46-45 advantage at 13:06.
An 8-4 stretch by Limestone over the next 4:12 then gave them a 53-50 lead with just 8:54 showing on the clock but that would disappear behind four straight Bulldogs baskets as they took a 58-53 lead with just over six minutes left in the game and set the stage for a frantic finish.
Turner finished with a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds to pace the Bulldogs while Ryan Daye also finished with 14 points. Deion Turman had 10 points, six boards and a game-high four blocks and Eddie Lewis chipped in with 11 points.
Limestone caps their season with a 21-9 overall record, a share of the 2012-13 Conference Carolinas Regular Season Championship and the program's second trip to the NCAA Tournament in three years.
