Date Reviewed: August 19, 2007
Strengths: I bought the frame to replace a damaged TREK 930 Steel Hardtail that I have used and abused for 8 years. As with most Ti bikes the ride is superbly smooth, I chose this frame as the geometry was correct for my riding style, and size. The frame is well made, the geometry is correct, the finishing detail is excellent. I built the Bike up myself and all the attachments, bottom bracket, etc. fitted with ease.
Weaknesses: None
Bottom Line:
The frame can also be used for trekking/touring as it is equipped with a variety of bosses for attaching racks/panniers.
This frame will suit all riders from beginners to racing weight weenies excellent.

I was wondering if any of you guys could give me some tips where to find some decent scripts. I have taken a look allready in hotscripts.com, javascripts.com, cgi-resources.com and also did a search in Google. The results were quite poor so that's why I need your help.
Thanks in advance and if I can be of any service just drop me a personal message. My 'specialties' are e-law, e-marketing ( SE placement and affiliate marketing )

Turkey and Rice With Veggies
mamamia1 Posted: 06/19/11
BrittanyR86 Posted: 08/13/11
This was great, I couldn't find a low ingredient recipe, anywhere, that involved ground turkey. The family was sick of the "same ol', same ol'", so I had to spice it up, a bit. I found this recipe and added my own twist to it. I took 8 oz of Vigo Black Beans and Rice, (cooked for 25 mins.), then began cooking the lean ground turkey. I added the cooked rice, can of diced tomato's, can of corn, a generous amount of cajun seasoning, and a dash of basil seasoning. And we have left overs for tomorrow (which I'm looking forward to). It was delicious! Hope this helps someone "spice it up"!

Denials, lawsuits next step in Carrier IQ flare-up
The vendor issued its first public statement denying culpability but that didnt stop what one might assume are the first wave of lawsuits from appearing
The Carrier IQ mobile phone tracking controversy shows no sign of slowing down, with the vendor saying it doesnt track personal info -- though it might use it -- and HTC and Samsung getting yanked into class action lawsuits.
Industry News
Briefing Room
Carrier IQ issued its statement, its first on the matter, Thursday evening, claiming that with the companys software we measure and summarize performance of the device to assist operators in delivering better service, further stating it vigorously disagrees with charges that it has broken wiretap or other laws. The statement goes on to say:
While a few individuals have identified that there is a great deal of information available to the Carrier IQ software inside the handset, our software does not record, store or transmit the contents of SMS messages, email, photographs, audio or video. For example, we understand whether an SMS was sent accurately, but do not record or transmit the content of the SMS. We know which applications are draining your battery, but do not capture the screen.
Carrier IQ claims it protects consumer privacy by gathering data of encrypted channels and at security audited facilities. Consumers have a relationship with their carrier customers, and as a condition of its contracts with Operators, CIQ operates exclusively within that framework and under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction, the statement added.
Why track such data at all? According to Carrier IQ, its software makes your phone better by delivering intelligence on the performance of mobile devices and networks to help the Operators provide optimal service efficiency, the statement said. Carrier IQ acts as an agent for the Operators. Each implementation is different and the diagnostic information actually gathered is determined by our customers the mobile Operators. Carrier IQ does not gather any other data from devices.
At least three operators AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint have said they use the software, but all claim no nefarious purpose.
As we noted in an earlier analysis (CP: Analysis: Is Carrier IQ controversy the perfect storm to destroy operator trust?), even if the Carrier IQ software and operator use of it is found to be reasonable, the impact on consumer trust might be hard to shake off.
Certainly not helping that trust equation are a pair of class-action lawsuits apparently filed in Illinois and Missouri, respectively, naming Carrier IQ, HTC and Samsung in the complaints. Even as the lawsuits were filed, phone maker HTC was already trying to deflect blame, shifting it over to its operator partners.

Sir Ian McKellen's School Tour Teaches Kids Not To Be Scared Of The Gay -
Okay, so we already knew that this man was awesome enough to play Gandalf. But what is this? Added awesome?
Sir Ian is basically going around schools in Britain and saying, "Do you know gay people? No? Well now you do!" In a school system rife with homophobia (sound familiar here, anyone?) Sir Ian is trying to put forth to students that no, not all gay people are scarey, no, they don't all look like Alan Carr, and yes, he has just as great of an accent as we thought he did.
Actually I made that last bit up, but you get what I mean.
3 cheers for Gandalf! Always savin' the day.
"The ability to keep bodily matters private is a privilege some of us will never have. Just ask a poor person on welfare, a fat person, a visibly disabled person, a pregnant woman. Ask a person of color whose ethnic heritage isn't seemingly apparent. Just ask a seriously ill person, a gender ambiguous person, a non-passing transman or trans woman. All these people experience public scrutiny, in one way or another, of their bodies.
In this culture bodily difference attracts public attention. Privacy is not an option. Certainly as a disabled person, I never get a choice about privacy. Sometimes I can choose how to deal with gawking, how to correct the stereotypes and lies, how to live with my particular bodily history. But I don't get to choose privacy, much less medical privacy. The first thing people want to know is what's wrong with me. Sometimes they ask carefully about my disability, other times demand loudly about my defect. But either way they're asking for a medical diagnosis. And if I choose not to tell, they'll just pick one for me anyway and in the picking probably make a heap of offensive assumptions. The lack of privacy faced by poor people, fat people, disabled people, people of color, and visibly queer and gender variant people has many consequences connected to a variety of systems of oppression…
And so when I hear the argument that being trans is a private matter, I want to ask: do you know that bodily privacy is a privilege regulated by systems of power and control? And if you have that privilege, how are you using it, even when it's laced with ambivalence and stress?"

pelafina said: I love the new name too! Props for coming up with something so inventive and explaining it so eloquently!
Glad you like it! I'll pass along your compliments to my friend Ann who though of the name and wrote the description :)
laurenartillery said: wait i am such a fan of the name change, i can't even tell you
Me too, it's really clever and fantastic! All credit goes to Ann, she came up with it :)
As you may have noticed, our club is currently undergoing a name change. We were recently approved by Student Life to change our name from Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) to Students for Queer Advocacy (SQuAd), which is really exciting news. You may be wondering why we felt the need to change the name. Ann Hoelscher (Class of '11), in an email to the director of Student Life, outlined these specific and comprehensive reasons for the name change:
1.We agreed that this name would be more inclusive— rather than creating a binary suggesting everyone in the club is "gay" or "straight," we are using a more commonly accepted umbrella term, "queer," to describe the special interest group. The word "queer" covers gender identities as well as sexual orientations, both of which we want to include.
2. The new name would differentiate between preconceived ideas of what a GSA "is" or "does" that students often have in their highschools and before coming to Muhlenberg. These groups are often social networks, which our club wants to be as well. However, we also consider ourselves to be a politically active organization that strives for social awareness and the education of the community as well as functioning as a "social" club.
3. We think it's important to emphasize the power of students on campus.
4. To say we are "Students for Queer Advocacy" doesn't describe our own personal gender or sexual identities, but rather the work that we do— "advocacy"— which encompasses the goals of the group more than "alliance," which we believe is unclear.
5. It's a catchy name that will differentiate us from the rest of campus!
Ultimately, our new name is more inclusive and better outlines our purposes and goals as a club on campus. We look forward to continuing our work on campus as the Students for Queer Advocacy!
For equality,
Anonymous said: So what does Muhlenberg GSA do?
First, I should note that the GSA is actually in the process of a name transition; soon we will be called SQuAd (Students for Queer Advocacy), which is a better and more inclusive name for the club that emphasizes the power of students on campus.
The club does a variety of different things. We try to keep a balance between activist and advocacy-type events, and social events that allow our group to develop into a close-knit, supportive community. We also try to attend a conference every semester; in the fall, we went to the Translating Identity Converence at the University of Vermont, and last spring we attended the True Colors Conference in Connecticut. With our events, we try to cover a broad range of topics and identities in order to be as inclusive as possible. Recents events we have had include F to eMbody, a group of transgender hip hop artists, slam poet Andrea Gibson, a discussion on humor and it's effects on the queer community, a Sextival (sexual festival with fun games, a sex toy raffle, and safe sex awareness), a screening of a film about the intersectionality of queerness and Orthodox Judaism, and we will be having a drag show featuring student performers at the end of the week.
Additionally, we will have social events such as movie nights and game nights after meetings. We also try to work with other student organizations and the Multicultural Center to highlight intersecting identities and explore the meanings of these identities and their impacts on campus life for both minority and majority students.
Hope that helps you get a better sense of our presence on campus!
Anonymous said: so i googled "muhlenberg lgbt" and this came up. and let me just say, as a queer person/tumblr addict who's probably coming to muhlenberg next year and was worried about there not being enough of an lgbt presence, i was sososososo happy to find this.
I'm glad you found the blog! The GSA will have a table at Through the Red Doors, so if you're there and have any questions for us, definitely stop by the table. We look forward to meeting you if you do decide to come to Muhlenberg!
NAACP makes unprecedented diversity push - Chicago Sun-Times -
The NAACP's newly revived Worcester, Mass., chapter elected a 28-year-old openly gay black man as its president this month. In New Jersey, a branch of the organization outside Atlantic City chose a Honduran immigrant to lead it last year. And in Mississippi, the Jackson State University chapter recently turned to a 30-something white man.
Founded more than a century ago to promote black equality, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is seeing remarkable diversity in its leadership ranks — the result of an aggressive effort over the last four or five years to boost NAACP membership and broaden the civil rights organization's agenda to confront prejudice in its many forms.
"This is the new NAACP," said Clark University political science professor Ravi Perry, the new chapter president in Worcester. "This is a human rights organization, and we have an obligation to fight discrimination at all levels."
NAACP branches have been recruiting gays, immigrants and young people who grew up in a world far removed from the landmark 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education ruling that outlawed school segregation. Now, leadership positions that were once held only by blacks are being filled by members of other racial or ethnic groups.
The group does not keep track of numbers, but in recent years NAACP chapters in New Jersey, Connecticut and Georgia have elected Hispanics as president. A white man was picked to lead the chapter in Aiken, S.C. And two years ago, NAACP members in Hamtramck, Mich., a Detroit suburb, selected a Bangladeshi American to revive their long-dormant chapter.
"Some people mentioned that it wouldn't be possible for me to be president," said Victor Diaz, 32, a Dominican American who ran against an incumbent and was elected president of the Waterbury, Conn., branch in November. "But when I ran, I won 3 to 1."
The push for diversity troubles some members of the NAACP's old guard, who worry that problems in the black community may get short shrift. But some social scientists say the new diversity is merely a return to the group's roots as a biracial organization.
In 1964, the NAACP's membership peaked at 625,000 paid members. By the middle of the last decade, that had dropped to just under 300,000. Now it has reversed course and climbed to more than 525,000, in large part because of an increase in young members, group officials say. The NAACP said it does not keep track of the organization's racial and ethnic breakdown.
Stefanie Brown, the NAACP's 30-year-old national field director, said the under-25 crowd is the organization's fastest-growing age group. In fact, the NAACP has slots on its 60-plus member board of directors reserved for people under 25. In addition, Brown said, young professionals under 40 are taking leadership roles — something that hadn't happened until recently.
Some in the group say the diversity push weakens the NAACP's identity. Jamarhl Crawford, editor of the Blackstonian, a Boston website that covers the city's black population, said he fears it could "water down" the focus on problems in the black community.
"I think there's going to be some loss there in terms of actual activism, actual protest" on behalf of blacks, said Crawford, a 40-year-old member of the NAACP's Boston branch.
The diversity push was started a few years ago under then-NAACP chairman Julian Bond. Later, Benjamin Todd Jealous, who in 2008 became the group's youngest leader at age 35, ramped up the effort and also urged the organization to take up gay rights.
"At our core, we want to end discrimination and have equality for all people," Brown said.

German company Fuoss 01 has created the ultimate go-cart. The new vehicle weighs almost 300 kg and is powered by a mid-positioned Suzuki engine (from the small bikes and ATVs) connected to a 5-speed gearbox. The total package is good for 43 hp and a 90 mph top speed.
In true go-cart style, there is no roof (or windows, doors, windshield, etc.), but the whole interior is said to be waterproof. At least it will be exclusive: only 10 units set for production next year (priced at $37,520).
Although the Fuoss' 47 mpg may seem like a interesting way to fight gas prices, it doesn't seem so good compared to Audi's version of the VW up!

There is now a bounty on white collar criminals, potentially a large one.
The Securities and Exchange Commission today approved rules that would reward individuals who provide substantive information about violations of the federal securities laws.
The rule is among the most controversial regulations to come out The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Critics say the rule will give employees incentive to report problems directly to the SEC for a big payday instead of reporting them internally first and giving management a chance to try and address them.
Under the rule, whistleblowers whose information leads to enforcement action are entitled to take 10% to 30% of the penalty the SEC collects over $1 million. Before this rule, the SEC's reward program was limited to insider trading cases and the amount of an award was capped at 10 percent of the penalties collected in the action.
This is a great idea, in my opinion. It gives people a good incentive to turn in these crooks and I like the idea of finally taking white collar crime seriously to warrant this.

James is my little nonconformist. At times, this has been the source of much exasperation. Like when he started preschool and ALL the other kids were calmly obeying the teacher and sitting still in their chairs, but he had no interest whatsoever in following either the teacher or the example of the other children. Or there was the time James decided that rather than feed the ducks at the duck pond (like all the other kids), he wanted to SWIM with them. All of you probably know how nice and clean and sanitary duck ponds are (insert sarcasm). The day I had to retrieve my nearly 5-year-old from its center was not one of my favorite parenting memories!
But following the beat of a different drummer can be a really positive thing too. I've been lucky to already see that with James.
One of the biggest pluses is that he just isn't upset about having to test or receive insulin at school even in front of his peers. He's never been self-conscious, and consequently, he's a great little ambassador for type 1 diabetes! Kids are genuinely curious when he tests himself. They might think the meter looks like a cool device, for example. And then they're usually a little taken aback when they see that he draws blood to test. Kids will ask him what he's doing. He answers matter-of-factly, "Testing my blood sugar. I have diabetes so I have to test myself before and after I eat. It hurts a little bit but I'm used to it." In a few sentences, kids get an appropriate explanation of what's going on. Further, James' calm and cool demeanor does the trick. Kids learn quickly, and for James and his classmates, testing has become something that isn't a big deal at all.
In the past year or so, James has gained a healthy sense of social awareness. I know that developmentally he's right on track and that it's natural to care at least a little more about whether your friends think you're cool. Further, I know that this is a good sign, that he's relating well with his peers and that he's growing up. Still, I hope for his sake that he's able to retain his confidence to do things his own way. I especially hope that diabetes testing and all other aspects of diabetes continue to be areas that he addresses with confidence and self-acceptance.
I'm happy to report that at least for now, he still feels no stigma from testing in public -- even though sometimes he acts like he is "too cool for school."
About the author: My name is Jennifer, and I live in Southern California with my husband, Craig, and our three boys. Our oldest son James has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

But Wimmer RS, a German tuner that might be familiar to you for its incredible tuning packages has decided that the Mercedes C63 AMG will look better in two colors.
Their project - BlueGreen Eliminator - starts with a very impressive engine update. The tuner has added new sport camshafts, a new sport air filter by K & N that helps optimize the incoming air. Next to this the car has also received manifold, down pipe and special sport catalysts and of course a hand-made stainless steel exhaust system from the Wimmer House. And as a final touch to the engine the engine electronics have been adjusted. As a result the car is delivering a total of 601 HP and a peak torque of 531 lbs-ft. Top speed has been increased to 209 mph.
Next to the engine job Wimmer has also opted for a complete foiling of the body with blue and green /matte and of course a new set of 19" wheels combined with a MOV'IT ceramic brake system.
This amazing project will be displayed at the Essen Motor Show, so if it happens to be in the area this is something you have to see.

Death of an OmnibusBy Tobin Harshaw

So, who won? Let's go around the horn:
A Bankrupt Bargain on TaxesBy William D. Cohan
That's why the news of the proposed tax-cut deal between President Obama and Congressional Republicans is so distressing. Adding $900 billion to the budget deficit — paid for with more borrowing — is the last thing we need if we want to show the world we are serious about fiscal responsibility. Do we genuinely think that the Chinese, the Japanese and the Persian Gulf oil barons will continue to finance our deficit, except at increasing cost to us?
As Bernanke fiddles and Obama caves in, our future gets bleaker and bleaker.
You can probably count on one finger the times that Paul Krugman, the Times columnist and Nobel-prize winning economist, and David Stockman, Reagan's budget director, have agreed on anything. But they are in violent agreement about the fiscal irresponsibility of the tax-cut deal. In urging Obama to reject the deal because of his concern the tax cuts will likely become permanent, Krugman wrote on Monday that "giving in to Republican demands would mean risking a major fiscal crisis — a crisis that could be resolved only by making savage cuts in federal spending." Democrats in Congress should pull out all the stops and block the senseless tax breaks for the rich that they don't need and that will add to our already unconscionable budget deficit; fortunately, it looks like some Republicans would join them. Stockman, in an interview with Yahoo Finance, called the president's deficit commission a "side show," said the tax deal proved that Republicans are unserious about cutting spending and warned of a coming "major upheaval in the world bond market."

How Obama Saved Capitalism and Lost the MidtermsBy Timothy Egan
For no matter your view of President Obama, he effectively saved capitalism. And for that, he paid a terrible political price.
Suppose you had $100,000 to invest on the day Barack Obama was inaugurated. Why bet on a liberal Democrat? Here's why: the presidency of George W. Bush produced the worst stock market decline of any president in history. The net worth of American households collapsed as Bush slipped away. And if you needed a loan to buy a house or stay in business, private sector borrowing was dead when he handed over power.
As of election day, Nov. 2, 2010, your $100,000 was worth about $177,000 if invested strictly in the NASDAQ average for the entirety of the Obama administration, and $148,000 if bet on the Standard & Poors 500 major companies. This works out to returns of 77 percent and 48 percent.
But markets, though forward-looking, are not considered accurate measurements of the economy, and the Great Recession skewed the Bush numbers. O.K. How about looking at the big financial institutions that keep the motors of capitalism running — banks and auto companies?
The banking system was resuscitated by $700 billion in bailouts started by Bush (a fact unknown by a majority of Americans), and finished by Obama, with help from the Federal Reserve. It worked. The government is expected to break even on a risky bet to stabilize the global free market system. Had Obama followed the populist instincts of many in his party, the underpinnings of big capitalism could have collapsed. He did this without nationalizing banks, as other Democrats had urged.

Will TARP Turn to Gold?By Tobin Harshaw
The Thread is an in-depth look at how major news and controversies are being debated across the online spectrum.
The Thread is an in-depth look at how major news and controversies are being debated across the online spectrum.
"Even as voters rage and candidates put up ads against government bailouts, the reviled mother of them all — the $700 billion lifeline to banks, insurance and auto companies — will expire after Sunday at a fraction of that cost, and could conceivably earn taxpayers a profit," reports The Times's Jackie Calmes. "A final accounting of the government's full range of interventions in the economy, including the bailouts of the mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, is years off and will most likely remain controversial and potentially costly. But the once-unthinkable possibility that the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program could end up costing far less, or even nothing, became more likely on Thursday with the news that the government had negotiated a plan with the American International Group to begin repaying taxpayers."
So, was this weed actually an unloved flower? Well, it was certainly unloved. Even though it was enacted by President Bush and had bipartisan support, its passage helped end the careers of Republican politicians like Senator Robert F. Bennett. And while President Obama had no problem furthering the Bush agenda on this count, many liberals called it little more than a give-away to the banks. And it may go to the grave spurned despite the administration's rosy new predictions.
Few political actions have been less popular than the bank bailout, but the White House wants voters to reconsider.
Here's Chris in Paris at the liberal site Americablog: "Yes, it could have been much worse but doing a victory dance for the Bush-enacted program may be a bit much. The point that continues to escape Washington about the unpopular program is that people hate it because the bankers walked away with barely a scratch. Watching the architects of the crash stuff their pockets with obscene bonus money while everyone else either lost their job or worried about their future did not help."

Building a Nation of Know-NothingsBy Timothy Egan
Remember the moment: a woman with matted hair and a shaky voice rose to express her doubts about Barack Obama. "I have read about him," she said, "and he's not — he's an Arab."
McCain was quick to knock down the lie. "No, ma'am," he said, "he's a decent family man, a citizen."
That ill-informed woman — her head stuffed with fabrications that could be disproved by a pre-schooler — now makes up a representative third or more of the Republican party. It's not just that 46 percent of Republicans believe the lie that Obama is a Muslim, or that 27 percent in the party doubt that the president of the United States is a citizen. But fully half of them believe falsely that the big bailout of banks and insurance companies under TARP was enacted by Obama, and not by President Bush.
Take a look at Tuesday night's box score in the baseball game between New York and Toronto. The Yankees won, 11-5. Now look at the weather summary, showing a high of 71 for New York. The score and temperature are not subject to debate.
Yet a president's birthday or whether he was even in the White House on the day TARP was passed are apparently open questions. A growing segment of the party poised to take control of Congress has bought into denial of the basic truths of Barack Obama's life. What's more, this astonishing level of willful ignorance has come about largely by design, and has been aided by a press afraid to call out the primary architects of the lies.

Obama's Endangered EconomistsBy Tobin Harshaw

The Thread is an in-depth look at how major news and controversies are being debated across the online spectrum.
The Atlantic's Derek Thompson breaks the news down into five tidy points:
1. SORTA BAD: Private sector employment has increased by 630,000 this year.
2. REALLY BAD: … but it's closer to 200,000, or 40K per month, if you factor out March and April.
3. LOPSIDED: Health care employment alone accounts for 231,000 new jobs in the last year.
4. DISCOURAGING: There were 1.2 million discouraged workers in July, up by 389,000 from a year earlier.
5. DEPRESSING: June was twice as bad as we thought, since the payroll changed was revised from -125,000 to -221,000.

The Thread is an in-depth look at how major news and controversies are being debated across the online spectrum.
Given that the president's academic background is in Constitutional law and not evolutionary biology, we can forgive him if he's unaware that the neuroscientist Paul McLean's triune brain theory, which popularized the idea that the basal ganglia was a "reptile brain" constantly driving mankind toward his basest instincts, has long fallen out of scientific favor. But even when it was in vogue, the idea was that something deep in our genetic makeup made us fear the unknown, not that we instinctively disliked the clerk at the 7-11 counter because of his accent.
Obama's Lincoln MomentBy Timothy Egan
There must be, in the glaring light of an anxious, heat-stinging summer, an image or two from the past appearing in President Obama's White House.
As Abraham Lincoln had an Army of the Potomac that looked inert under Gen. George McClellan, Obama has an economy stalled and troubled, and two wars, one now branded as the nation's longest, its outcome never more uncertain.
Where to advance? Where to retreat? Who to fire? Who to hire? The general of the one conflict, in Afghanistan, has been removed, as was McClellan by an impatient president. But the other campaign, the one to resurrect an economy ruined by debt and unregulated greed, seems intractable.
The country is divided, with no common purpose other than revulsion at things disliked — oil in the ocean, Wall Street in its excess — and, for diversion, a man who storms a hot-dog-eating contest.

The Gulf Spill Reaches the Oval OfficeBy Tobin Harshaw
The Thread is an in-depth look at how major news and controversies are being debated across the online spectrum.
The Thread is an in-depth look at how major news and controversies are being debated across the online spectrum.
"This is a mixed bag," according to David Dayen at FireDogLake, who took a look at an early draft of the speech. "Obama will call BP 'reckless," re-organize the agencies which really fell down on the job – that's the biggest point of the many critical essays about the President's response before and after the spill – and he does vow to compensate all those affected and fully restore the Gulf (a massive project). But there doesn't seem like there will be a ton of leadership on climate change, or really even clean energy, outside of a nod to various proposals."
The Atlantic's Marc Ambinder has a similar take: "On the small–medium-big scale, Obama went medium. Leaving out an explicit call for cap-and-trade was a deliberate choice, obviously. But Obama wants action on climate change, and the only way wean our dependence off fossil fuels is to put a price on carbon. Read more…

Woman Allegedly Kidnaps Baby in Crazy Plot, Then Throws the Poor Thing Away
Another fake pregnancy. Another woman accused of stealing an innocent baby. Each time these incidents crop up in the news, the details are sure to be crazy. But the reason Chicago police say T'Keyah Williams stole a friend's 1-month-old isn't typical.
Sure, she allegedly faked a pregnancy. Sure, she is said to have told friends she delivered a baby. But this wasn't a woman desperate to have a child.
According to Chicago cops, Williams' boyfriend had recently been arrested and charged with felony drug possession. With her guy facing a bond hearing, the misguided woman thought a judge would go easy on him if he had a newborn at home. So cops say Williams stole the 1-month-old girl while a relative slept, then abandoned her in the freezing cold of a Chicago winter among bags of garbage when she realized her plan wouldn't work out
Sounds like a match made in heaven, huh? They can wear matching handcuffs and frame their mugshots over their beds.
I almost feel badly for women who kidnap babies because they desperately want to be mothers. Almost. At least their desperation is driven by a desire to love and comfort. Clearly they make the wrong decisions in opting for abduction instead of adoption, and they belong in jail. But still, as a mother who remembers what it was like to "want" a baby before getting pregnant, I can at least sympathize.
What Williams is charged with, on the other hand, takes sick and dials it up to depraved. If she did what cops are saying -- Williams has none of the compassion she expected that judge to show. If she did it, she is a psychopath in every sense of the word.
The baby girl was rescued by police, and she seems to be fine. Williams, on the other hand, is facing charges of aggravated kidnapping and endangering the life and health of a child.
Do you look at this woman differently than you would a woman who stole a baby because she wanted to be a mom, or are they the same kind of monster?

Oil rises on euro gains; pump price at $3.59
NEW YORK (AP) -- Gasoline prices leveled off in the Northeast, as the region's drivers hopped back in their cars after digging them out of huge snow banks over the weekend.
Pump prices fell slightly in New York, Rhode Island and Connecticut while holding steady in Massachusetts, Vermont and New York. A massive winter storm walloped the region with up to 3 feet of snow.

Here it is in the Great DMV Parking Lot of the EaPA (East of Panhandle Area):
Click to expand
Here's the reverse angle – man that's one biiiiig dumpster:
Why, DMV, why?
Look at them all go:
Click to expand
Remember, Cyclists Alway Have the Right Of Way.
Oh wait a second, I just made that up. It's not correct. I'll fix my error by telling you I was wrong.
What I meant to say was Pedestrians Always Have the Right Of Way.
Oh wait, that's wrong as well.
The SFBC knows by now that their statement is wrong but they still have it up on their website?
What they should have done is had a lawyer do their bikelaw page.
Oh well.
This is how it's going to go with the new Fell Street bike lane.
Looking west from Scott Street:
Click to expand
So this lane will hug the sidewalk at first and then merge with drivers who wqant to queue up for cheap ARCO gas.
And then, after Divisadero, the lane goes back to hugging the sidewalk all the way to the Golden Gate Park Panhandle. (What you see past Divis is the bike lane on the left and the buffer on the right. Soon it will be filled up with planters or something.)
On It Goes…
I'll tell you, there are three things limiting the speed of drivers on the one-way, multilane twin streets of Fell and Oak.
1. Speed limits (oh maybe not, let's scratch that one out);
2. Traffic congestion (particularly during this era of that albatross hanging from the metaphorical neck of The Boulevard Movement and The "Livable" Streets Movement, monstrous, needlessly wide Octavia Boulevard); und
3. The timing of the synchronized traffic signals.
Well, it appears as if #3 is going to change - per Bike NOPA Fell and Oak will soon have their signals synchronized for 25 MPH.
There's not a whole bunch of documentation on this action, documentation that I can find anyway. (You can play too, just try to find something at the SFMTA or SFGov.org websites.) But I seen them workers messing with the signals boxes lately, so allow me to jump to the conclusion that something is afoot.
Soon, you'll have a chance to read the signs these hectoring hula hoopers regularly hold at Fell and Masonic:
Will this affect drivers all that much? We'll see.
Certainly, there will be a period of adjustment as there was when lights were re-timed on the similar matched set of Turk and Golden Gate.
Will some drivers jump on the gas and then the brake at every light, aggressive taxi driver style? Oh yes.
Will the residents of the west side be happy? Oh no, not if they notice.
Anyway, brace yourselves. This should be a done deal by the end of the month.
Even with a spotter, trying to park this trailered rig on the left side of Fell Street, well that can't be a picnic. The very prospect of thinking about which way to turn the stearing wheel gives me a headache.
Didn't see how this one turned out, but just for the bold attempt, and considering the degree of difficulty, this man deserves to be San Francisco Parallel Parker of the Year, 2009.
¡Bienvenido a San Francisco!

The idea that NIMBY groups "represent" the neighborhoods referenced in their names took a blow this year due to the backlash associated with the inchoate rules changes for Bay to Breakers 2009. That's one upshot. We'll just have to wait and see what happens on game day. Fine.
But be sure to check out this Los Angeles Times take on the entire l'affaire de Bay to Breakers.
Will Babar be back for 2009? Probably. But where will they hide the kegs?

See you there, May 17th!
It had to happen. The NIMBYs of San Francisco, some of the very same who killed the harmless, adorable Panhandle Bandshell, have set their sights on the historic, annual ING Bay to Breakers Footrace. So there are going to be some changes: 1. No alcohol; 2. No carts (for beer or strippers or anything else); 3. More Dumpsters; and 4. A corral system (like what they use for cattle) at the start.
Of course things got a little out of hand last year. (Admittedly.) But I'll tell you right now, it appears the no carts rule is really going to cut down on the amount of stuff people will bring along, and that will cut down on the creativity and the fun. How will participants react? Stay tuned.
Now let's review races past and then check out all the new rules courtesy of the most corporate Facebook page in all Christendom.
You see? The frivolous and the serious can all get along. Despite any distractions, this Autodesk centipede team of athletic nerds did very well. Click to expand.
Also count this Bay Area local among the serious. She finished way early and wouldn't ever care a whit about all the shenanigans that come along behind. Good for her. (Note yellow police tape in the background temporarily blocking access to the only bathroom in the Panhandle - that's curious)
Who came later? Well, all the fun people, with their beer carts and what have you. What's wrong with that?
Of course, this can lead to peeing Elvises. Maybe ING should spring for more Porta Pottis (if they all haven't been burned down by then)?

So this is what Golden Gate Park looks like after the race:
And of course there's the inevitable MUNI meltdown, with people waiting and waiting for buses that will come, eventually:
But don't let this new crackdown, this example of the Death of Fun, get you down. This year, make an effort to actually throw away and recycle stuff, all right? Else next year, they'll have cattle prods to go with the chutes and corrals.
After all, Bay to Breakers isn't just some historical race - it's a big party for the City. Leave us not forget that the B2B is all about junior astronauts with Bono sunglasses in the middle of the street…
…and fun, in-shape, MySpace-ready, self-proclaimed WHITE TRASH PRINCESSES:
How are these people going to carry around their full drum kits, their Budweisers, their Pepsis, and all their other paraphernalia without wheeled carts? You don't want to drive these fun folks away, right? Can't we, the serious runners, the other participants, and the neighbors (the vast majority of whom aren't actually NIMBYs) all try to get along? That's something to ponder over the next few months.
[A note to serious runners: Once again, the mainstream media and ING have it wrong about the elevation profile of this race. The highest point on the course isn't actually the top of the Hayes Street Hill near Alamo Square, it's in freaking Golden Gate Park. This is non-trivial because it explains why you go slower than you think you will in the middle of the race. Now if people want to say that the Hayes Street Hill subjectively feels like the highest point, well then go right ahead and then I'll never raise the issue again.]
See you there (anyway)!
Read on for all the deets:
Well, it appears this will be how B2b 2008 will be remembered:
"It's often called the world's longest party, but this year's Bay to Breakers race through San Francisco was anything but fun for the residents, cops and public workers who bore the brunt of the drunken young "runners" who staggered around Golden Gate Park and the city's west side, relieving themselves wherever it proved convenient."
Imagine that!
Turkeybot ably captured a fine moment:
The Golden Gate Park Panhandle had far more than ten portajohns set up and waiting to go the night before the big race. But, Matier & Ross report that there were only ten there on the big day. Mmmm, how did that happen?
Speaking of the Panhandle, the half million dollar bathroom in the Panhandle was closed and surrounded by yellow police tape while racers were passing by during the early part of the day. Why was that?
This might have been the only place in Golden Gate park where people weren't urinating. That's all part of the Good, Bad, and Ugly of the longtime footrace. Most people had fun though, purported MUNI Meltdown or no.
See you next year!
You already know about the Good of B2B 2008. A good time was had by all.
But what about the Bad? Muni didn't appear to be working very well north of Golden Gate Park in the afternoon following the big race. It wasn't like all the buses were packed with people, it was like there didn't seem to be any buses around at all throughout the Richmond. Must be tough to get drivers working on a Sunday.
And finally, the Ugly. Garbage everywhere, and more so than usual. Check the Flickr to see Drunken Douchebags Trash the Panhandle. Reopening Fell Street was such a chore that the DPW's Mohammad Nuru called the cops to get some help.
Heading back uphill to the acme of the race course in Golden Gate Park (which is no where near Hayes Street Hill, the purported highest point on the race route):
The cold dawn of day reveals a lot of trash still out there on the Streets of San Francisco. Maybe the people from Dutch financial institution and B2B sponsor ING could come down from their aerodynamic house and lend a hand with the cleanup? Just asking.
Hopefully, things will go more smoothly next year. Speaking of which…
See you next year!
[The Panhandle is much cleaner now around 11:00 AM Monday morning. Yay.]
John Kipsang Korir won the in Men's Elite category, as well as overall, in today's Bay to Breakers footrace.
Lineth Chepkurui won in the Women's Elite category.
It can be tough for foreign nationals to compete in marathons and other running competitions in these United States, due to visa hassles and unfair prize schemes designed to favor Americans. But San Francisco's oldest run is still wide open to all. Good.
The Autodesk team manged to win second place in the centipede category, despite a few distractions:
See you next year!

8 Hours of CSPAN
Today is the most that I have paid attention to CSPAN. The issue was with the Armed Forces Committee on Sexual Assault. Now why is this important? This has been the biggest issue in the military since racism. The fact that there has been so many "Unwanted Sexual Contact", Rape, and Harassment in the ranks has proven that there are predators in the ranks. How do we handle this? We have the training, the leaders, and the tools to report and handle this. Fact of the matter is that there has been over 26,000 reports sent up from the various reporting agencies. But still we have problems. It's become a Macho Man issue in the Army and there hasn't been any recognition that there are females out there as well doing the same thing. About 60 percent of the reports given are from Male soldiers. Wether it be from females attempting or it be from male on male brute force. It has to stop. One thing I know is that it won't be tolerated in my ranks. Team Dungeon we are on high alert! Let's stop it where we can and if we see it ourselves. Hooah!

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (AP) — A couple has claimed a $1 million Powerball prize at the Portsmouth store where they bought the winning ticket.
Media outlets report that Calvin and Zatera Spencer returned to Barber Tire & Auto on Tuesday to claim their prize.
The Virginia Lottery says the Spencers bought a ticket for the March 11 drawing that matched the first five numbers but missed the Powerball number. The winning numbers were 14-15-28-37-54 and the Powerball number was 10.
Earlier this month, someone bought a ticket in Springfield that won the $1 million prize. That prize hasn't been claimed.

Category Archives: Emergent
Why We're Not Emergent by DeYoung and Kluck
I've already mentioned my anticipation for the forthcoming title, Why We're Not Emergent: By Two Guys Who Should Be by Kevin DeYoung and Ted Kluck (Moody, 2008). This is another book in 2008 pastors should buy and read.
Mostly I love this book for its clear-headed critique of the distinctives of emergent theology. One excerpt really makes this point. In light of the postmodern revel for all things relative, DeYoung uses the Hindu story of the blind men and the elephant to make a critical point of contrast.
"We may all be, by nature, like blind men touching the elephant without knowing whether what we are feeling is a trunk, tail, or ear. But what if the elephant spoke and said 'Quit calling me crocodile, or peacock, or paradox. I'm an elephant for crying out loud! That long thing is my trunk. That little frayed thing is my tail. That big floppy thing is my ear.' And what if the elephant gave us ears to hear his voice and a mind to understand his message (cf. 1 Cor. 2:14-15)? Would our professed ignorance about the elephant and our unwillingness to make any confident assertions about his nature mean we were especially humble, or just deaf?
Because of the emerging church's implied doctrine of God's unknowability, the word 'mystery,' a perfectly good word in its own right, has become downright annoying. Let me be very clear: I don't understand everything about God or the Bible. I don't fully understand how God can be three in one. I don't completely grasp how divine sovereignty works alongside human responsibility. The Christian faith is mysterious. But when we talk about Christianity, we don't start with mystery. It's some combination of pious confusion and intellectual laziness to claim that living in mystery is at the heart of Christianity" (37-38).
Why We're Not Emergent: By Two Guys Who Should Be is due out April 1st.
Related: This quote reminds me of Mark Dever's words from the T4G blog: "The humility we want in our churches is to read the Bible and believe it–everything God has said, dogmatically, and humbly! It is not humble to be hesitant where God has been clear and plain." Read more.
How innovative is emergent?
The new Relevant magazine features a full-page mug of Rob Bell on the cover. Flip to page 64 and the article opens with these words:
"It's estimated that every week, more than 10,000 people pack into Mars Hill Church [not to be confused with Driscoll's Mars Hill Church], a growing congregation tucked into a nondescript former mall in Grand Rapids, Mich. What happens in this icy corner of the Midwest every Sunday morning impacts more than just the surrounding metropolis; its weekly service has become a major force that is influencing the global direction of the world's largest religion."
This globe-sweeping-rage hyperbole is not unfamiliar to Bell. Media outlets continue to paint the emergent movement as innovative and fresh, a culturally relevant means of correcting all the fatal wounds we evangelicals have inflicted upon the church (in this article Bell says the American idea of church is "an absolute total failure").
But others keeping up with the emergent writings and speaking tours are not so easily convinced of the pessimistic Bellancholy attitude, nor are they sharing the giddiness over the rage. And this is simply because many are not convinced the emergent ideology is as crisp and relevant as pushed in the media. In fact in many ways―some may wish to cover their eyes now―the emergent distinctives may less resemble fresh baked postmodernism and more appear like moldy modernism!
This, at least, is the conclusion of Kevin DeYoung and Ted Kluck. The two have completed a forthcoming title, Why We're Not Emergent: By Two Guys Who Should Be (due out from Moody on April 1, 2008). The book is a discerning, witty, and well-written attempt to make concrete the public distinctives from contemporary emergent leaders. It's a helpful step in identifying the contours and concerns of the movement.
While I don't agree with everything they say, it's one of the better books I've read in a while and I think it will be a book especially helpful for pastors trying to discern the strengths and weaknesses of the emergent movement. (There are a few strengths.) Within broad criticism, the authors are careful to distinguish various leaders.
But what I found especially helpful was DeYoung's perception that this overall "emergent" movement reflects modern theology we've seen come and go. DeYoung, a pastor and Gordon-Conwell grad, puts it well:
"The biggest irony about the emergent church may be just this: For all their chastisement of all things modern, they are in most ways thoroughly modern. Many of the leading books display a familiar combination of social gospel liberalism, a neo-orthodox view of Scripture, and a post-Enlightenment disdain for hell, the wrath of God, propositional revelation, propitiation, an anything more than a vague moralistic, warm-hearted, adoctrinal Christianity. … The emergent church may not be identical with the theological modernism of the late nineteenth century and early twentieth centuries, but many of the similarities are striking.
… The preference for ethics over doctrine, the reservations about God's wrath and judgment, the perceived need to retranslate the Christian faith for a new time, the devaluing of propositional truths, the chastisement of firm doctrinal boundaries, the understanding of missions as social compassion and not conversion – these are all impulses of the modern world. So are the broad tolerance of general religious sentiment that is lacking in specificity and definition, the unwillingness to assert the Bible's complete truthfulness, the downplaying of original sin, and the direct appeals to bettering the world apart from the call to repentance and be born again.
As emergent leaders talk of the boogeyman of modernism in conservative evangelicalism, it needs to be pointed out that he lurks within their own house, too, not as a creature hidden under the bed here or in a corner there, but as their own shadow, standing next to them, in the dark perhaps, but always there. There is nothing new under the sun, just the same shadows in different places across the centuries" (pp. 160, 165-166).
Or to put it another way: If Rob Bell is relevant, J. Gresham Machen is relevant.
But most importantly, Why We're Not Emergent will give readers a greater appreciation for the Gospel and its centrality to the church. There can be no ministry faithfulness where the Gospel is not found at the center.
Preachers will have their faith boosted in the transforming power of Scripture, and the church will be challenged with Revelation 2-3 to re-read the ancient letters that define ministry faithfulness.
"If we had to distill our advice for the emerging church into one sentence, it would be this: Listen to all the churches in Revelation. Emergent leaders need to celebrate all the strengths and shun the weaknesses of the seven churches in Revelation 2-3 – and admit that Jesus' prescription for health is more than community, authenticity, and inclusion" (239).
Just from the creative element, this book will capture your attention. For example, the authors compare emergent ideology with the official beliefs of the Unitarian Universalist Association (178). And there are some unforgettable lines, too. For example, "For every fundamentalist who loves the Bible more than Christ, I'm willing to bet there is one emergent Christian who honors the Bible less than Christ did" (81). Or "In the postmodern world of spiritual journey, authenticity and sincerity have become the currency of authority, and dysfunction, inconsistency, and idiosyncrasy are worn as badges of honor" (35).
DeYoung and Kluck have written an excellent response to the emergent concerns and the globe-sweeping-rage hyperbole being flung around. Why Were Not Emergent is a book to add to your reading list.

Miley Cyrus has 'feminist' energy
Miley Cyrus insists she doesn't just set out to shock people and has a lot of ''feminist energy''.
Miley Cyrus wants people to feel her ''feminist energy'' on tour.
The 'Wrecking Ball' star may be infamous for her wagging tongue and Twerking dance moves, but she insists her 'Bangerz' shows are not going to focus on shock value.
She said: ''I know people make it seem like all I do is come out and shock people. That isn't what it is. I think what girls see is that there's a feminist energy there.
''I'm more focussed on people being excited about me as a singer rather than someone who shocks people. I want people to be like, 'She did some things that were crazy, but at the end of the day it was all about her voice.' ''
Miley, 21, always has three hours of calm time before every show to prepare her for going on stage.
She added to America's OK! magazine: ''If I get nervous I need to lock it down. I need to sit out, get my mind right and rest my voice ... I want it to be something that's worth going to see. I understand that my fans are young, they work hard to [get the money to] come to my show. My priority is giving them the best show I possibly can.''
Miley's Bangerz Tour kicks off on February 14 in Vancouver, Canada.

Enel must thought Italians have rings on their noses!
The Italian State Council has rejected the conversion plan of one of Enel's gas power plants into a coal power plant. According to Enel, a coal power plant would be less polluting than a gas power plant because its higher chimneys are able to release pollutants further from the ground. Greenpeace Italy campaigns director Alessandro Giannì said that "coal is the worst plant enemy", totally unsuitable to an area like the one where Enel intended to convert the gas power plant.

Lingering Over Pizza at a Gourmet Corner Store in Phoenix, Arizona
La Grande Orange has a delicious identity problem. Tucked away in the quiet Arcadia neighborhood of North Phoenix, this half eatery/half artisan grocery is the kind of spot that unleashes your inner bohemian. The best time to visit is Friday through Sunday, when the pizzeria is in full swing churning out delectable pies such as The Gladiator, with local-favorite Schreiner's sausage, or my regular, The Rocket Man with red chiles and broccolini. Grab a craft beer or fine wine from the store's cooler and dine on the misted patio, where you can seek refuge from Phoenix's triple-digit heat. For the full experience, don't leave without a fresh French baguette from MJ Breads—it's the perfect treat for the trip home.
- Kevin Contreras I love their pizza! Call ahead for curbside pickup when it's crowded!
- Megan Cytron (Editor) Congratulations! You won Honorable Mention in the Weekly Worldwide Contest.
- Adam Rugel (Editor) Sounds like the real deal

Cover Accuracy: Poor. Alec hasn't even become The Swamp Thing yet!
After five pages of a boy who is allergic to chlorophyll story set-up where he lives in a bubble and is beset by a boy with a fork and tumors, we get back to Abigail Arcane. Now unlike Green Lantern, she didn't say she was disintegrating and that the disintegration was complete or anything. She just said she was going to watch Alec Holland die. The scene continues thusly:
Abigail: "Do something or you're going to die." [That's a little bit different!]
Abigail: "I said do something now!
Alec: "Do what? I don't understand—"
Abigail: "If you're who you say you are…"
Abigail: "If you're Alec Holland, the real one… prove it now. Or I'll unload this in your chest on the count of three." [This is a Shotgun.]
Of course she wasn't just about to watch him die. It was sort of a threat to gain as much power as she could over a guy she wasn't sure was the guy she thought he was. But the conversation would only ever be approached this way if you knew a cliffhanger was coming and you had to make an audience believe the story was headed somewhere it was never intending to head. Stupid comic books.

501 East Boston St., Covington, 985.875.1006
This not-very-quiet restaurant in this exurb of New Orleans quietly established itself as one of the area's more important restaurants in the late 2000s. It was ahead-of-the-curve in its attention to local sourcing as well as non-indigenous Italian cooking. Its strength as a magnet for south shore diners was weakened a bit by the rise of quality regional Italian restaurants in New Orleans, and age and success seemed to occasion a dimming of the cooking's focus. But del Porto remains a beacon of quality on the north shore, particularly for handmade pasta, seasonal produce and fresh seafood. The dining room's energy could make you mistake downtown Covington for a neighborhood in a much larger city.
Open: Lunch: Tu-F. Dinner: Tu-Sa. Parking: Street.
Entree prices: $17-$36. Reservations: Yes.
Standout dishes: Yellowfin tuna crudo, Caesar salad, spaghetti with mussels, grilled fennel sausage.
