But it could take years before anything is done about chromium contamination in Chicago and scores of other cities, in part because industrial polluters and municipal water utilities are lobbying to block or delay the Obama administration's move toward national regulations.
Test results obtained by the Tribune show that treated Lake Michigan water pumped to 7 million people in Chicago and its suburbs contains up to 0.23 parts per billion of the toxic metal, well above an amount that researchers say could increase the long-term risk of cancer.
Chicago began quarterly testing for the dangerous form of chromium this year after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency urged cities to track it while the Obama administration wraps up a scientific review — the first step toward a national standard. Until now, the results have not been shared with the public.
Federal officials are being nudged to act by California, which took a three-year look at the science and last month established the nation's first "public health goal" to limit hexavalent chromium, an industrial pollutant made infamous by the 2000 movie "Erin Brockovich."
The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment defines the goal, 0.02 parts per billion, as an amount that reduces the risk of developing cancer to a point considered negligible by most scientists and physicians. Studies show that exposure to the metal also increases the risk of reproductive problems, interferes with childhood development and causes liver and kidney damage.
Echoing their counterparts in other cities where the metal has been detected, Chicago officials stress that local tap water is safe and suggest that if a national limit is adopted, it likely would be less stringent than California's goal. But the findings raise new concerns about a toxic metal that can pass unfiltered through conventional water treatment.
City officials are studying ways to tweak equipment at Chicago's two massive treatment plants to screen out the metal. At home, people can reduce chromium levels with reverse osmosis technology or special filtration products; inexpensive and widely sold carbon filters aren't certified to address the problem.
"We are asking our customers to be as interested as we are in the scientific advances that produce these findings, but we are urging them not to overreact," said Tom LaPorte, a spokesman for the Chicago Department of Water Management.
Most of the nation's water suppliers meet health standards for the 114 contaminants that are regulated. Yet when a new risk is identified, it can take years before the EPA adds the pollutant to its official list of drinking water contaminants, in part because municipal utilities and industrial polluters fiercely object to changes that could cost them money.
The Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, sharply criticized the EPA last month for failing to add new pollutants to the list during the administration of President George W. Bush. The GAO concluded that the agency has done little to monitor unregulated contaminants in drinking water, and that the lack of data hamstrings the EPA's ability to determine which substances pose the greatest health threats.
Earlier this year, the Obama EPA overturned a controversial 2008 decision to keep perchlorate off the list, making the rocket fuel ingredient the first new chemical to be regulated since a 1996 overhaul of the Safe Drinking Water Act. The agency is expected to complete its health assessment of hexavalent chromium by the end of the year.
"Strong science and the law will continue to be the backbone of decision-making at EPA," an agency spokeswoman wrote in an email response to questions.
Industry groups question the validity of research that led the EPA and the National Toxicology Program to identify chromium-contaminated water as a cancer risk. Chemical companies have sponsored their own studies, many of which downplay the potential dangers.
"The interests of public health and industry are best served by ensuring that our chemical assessments are based on the best science," said Cal Dooley, president of the American Chemistry Council, an industry trade group. "These decisions have significant public health consequences as well as economic impacts."
Tracing newly discovered pollutants is difficult because local water utilities aren't required to test for contaminants unless they are on the EPA's list. And if a utility decides on its own to conduct testing, it isn't required to divulge the results.
Bottled water is no different. Food and Drug Administration regulations for bottled water limit most of the same contaminants monitored in tap water but are silent when it comes to hexavalent chromium, drug residues or other unregulated substances. Moreover, some brands of bottled water use municipal tap water supplies.
"The argument here is really about the cost of cleanup and treatment," said Thomas Burke, associate dean of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a former New Jersey environmental regulator. "Raising doubt about public health impacts has become a successful strategy for delaying action, especially when huge financial interests are at play. What we really should be talking about is how we can manage these risks."

Pipeline protection is provided by 3M™ High Strength Filament Reinforced Tapes. They are frequently used during the manufacture of flexible flowlines, risers and umbilicals to prevent the phenomenon called "bird caging". The tapes are spirally wound around the pipes immediately after the armouring process to prevent the steel bands or wires from expanding outwards.
Bird caging is a costly manufacturing problem, requiring the production line to be shut down while the affected area is cut out.

(SAN FRANCISCO, CA) -- A world-renown team of scientists and doctors from Elima Biotronics, a biotech firm, has successfully identified 32 rare, nutraceutical-grade botanicals, minerals and vitamins that work in more than three-quarters of men tested to increase sex drive, firmness, endurance, sensitivity and intensify orgasms.
During a three-year search, Elima's team tested more than 100 purported aphrodisiacs worldwide to find a highly effective combination that works rapidly in a single dosage. Elima is launching the new product under the OpusX name to Bay Area users this Christmas.
Elima's research team includes well-known and respected doctors recognized in medical circles worldwide. They include: Dr. Milton Rosenberg, a leading San Francisco-based Urologist; Dr. Georges Halpern, former professor of medicine at University of California at Davis and author of numerous books; Michael Ra Bouchard, Ph.D., nationally known sex educator and resident sexologist on iVillage.com; and Timothy Kuss, Ph.D., nutritional consultant and author.
"San Francisco during the holidays is an ideal place to introduce an all-natural product that fundamentally changes the way that men experience sex," said Bouchard, a board-certified sexologist and member of the American College of Sexology. "OpusX is ideal both for men who experienced the Summer of Love here and for younger guys seeking a new level of sexual fulfillment."
"In what has become an increasingly crowded marketplace, OpusX is the only all-natural dietary supplement proven to address a broad spectrum of male sexual needs and designed to work within an hour of ingestion," said Dr. Jack Tips, one of the world's leading experts on nutrition and a board certified Naturopathic Physician with the American Naturopathic Medical Certification and Accreditation Board. "OpusX eliminates the worry of unpleasant side effects and the inconvenience of taking multiple daily pills and waiting weeks or months to find out whether they work or not."
OpusX is available as a dietary food supplement and adheres to the federal Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 that provides requirements for the labeling and sale of dietary supplements.
Free samples are available for a limited time through the Holidays during the product's introduction to the San Francisco Bay Area at OpusX.net/press or toll free at: 1-888-690-7879.

What do you do to calm yourself when in the heat of anger?
May 31, 2012
What methods have worked for you in terms of keeping a rational mind when you feel yourself becoming (rationally or irrationally) angry?
I would be described as a quiet non confrontational person by nature.
Sometimes when I get angry (which is quick to heat up and also quick to cool off), I say or act in a way I look back with regret. Often this involves choice words (e.g. bringing up past wrongs with vehemence) and petty actions (e.g. storm off in a huff). While there is never any violence or abuse (i sincerely hope), I feel terrible afterwards and always initiate apologies (whomever is right or wrong does not matter).
Specifically looking for how to address/ resolve/ let go of the feeling of anger, as I dislike the amount of time and effort spent being angry and unproductive.
One past instance:
Dinner with mum escalates to me getting angry (defensive) and bringing up unpleasant things she has done in the past which consequently results in her current predicament.
She refuses to talk to me for a week, and I feel like crap for making her feel bad.
We eventually resolve by not pretending it never happened after we both cool off.
But this is kind of a recurring thing with mum, as we both know eachother well enough to push just the right buttons.
One recent instance:
While browsing a discount giftware warehouse with a pram, my 6 month baby grabbed a small cheap soft toy and promptly placed it in her mouth. I saw and placed it back. Almost immediately from behind, the owner shouted loudly at me to the exact words "How dare you put it back, woman! Pay for it, you stupid b****! Your baby puts her disgusting saliva all over it and you it back?! You should be ashamed of yourself! Get out of my store!" His shop assistants shook their head at me and said nothing.
I was too astonished/ bewildered (ashamed?) to do anything except apologise and got out of the warehouse.
This happened yesterday.
Thinking back, I can't seem to shake this feeling of anger. Maybe I was wrong for having my baby's saliva on the toy. Maybe this is a mother's defensiveness? I feel like I should reacted differently such as asked him to not be rude and I will pay for it.
I want to stop thinking about it and shake off this feeling of anger, as it is consuming me to the point where I am thinking of revenge (such as going back and taking a photo of the rude owner and blogging about him or just throw my baby's poop in the store).
I have vented to my sister, who empathised and nodded at all the right times.
Yet I am still angry.
How can I stop feeling angry and just let it go?
Thank you in advance for your time :)

My test for controling, non-venting, persistant anger over tiny things is: look at the infraction or source of anger. I ask myself, using a voice in my head "Will the thing that is making me angry matter in a day's time? A week? A month? A year?"
You know how quickly a month or year passes, right? If it doesn't matter in a month or a year, there is no point dwelling on it.
This tends to diffuse nger held by me over short-term issues. YMMV.

You are totally right to feel angry after that shopkeeper yelled at you. I work in customer service and what he did was EXTREMELY out of line and extremely inappropriate. You aren't the one who should of handled it differently - the manager should of approached you in a professional manner, not berate you.
How about channeling your anger into writing a YELP (or UK equivalent) review about the store/manager?

I find that visualizing myself - from a third-person-POV - going through some of these goes a long ways towards convincing me that these actions are dumb and would not be a good idea. When I visualize, I also roll the video forward, past the Big Moment and when it's all over. It's never as satisfying as I imagine it would be.
(on preview, though, I absolutely agree that the keeper's behavior was out of line...that's not the way to treat customers with babies, or anyone else for that matter)
Another thing that has helped me a great deal, and maybe it's simply age (I'm in my early 40s now but had a famously short fuse when I was younger), is realizing that I only have so many hours in a day, and so many calories to burn thinking about and doing things. "
" (as I try to think during moments of anger) "
is not how I need to spend this time, nor is it how I'd like our kids to remember me if I were to drop dead at this very moment.
A little morbid, sure, but it's really helped me try to maintain perspective. Anger still comes and sometimes it still comes quickly, but I work very hard to make sure that it departs as quickly.

When I find myself obsessing over some past event like this, I often realize that my anger at the other person is really an attempt to redirect shame or regret I'm feeling about what I did or failed to do. The best way I know to deal with it is to carefully work out what I'd like to do next time I find myself in a similar situation. After that, I just redirect my attention to other stuff that needs it. Being angry can get to be a habit; don't wear those grooves any deeper than you can help.

I think that in the instance of the toy and the shop owner, that you're angry
. While the shop owner was rather out of line and rude, your actions weren't very nice either.
I try to rise above things, especially when I'm in the wrong. The appropriate response would have been, "Oh dear, of course you're right, I'm so out of it right now, what with being a new mother and all. How much is this then?" Then I would have paid and never returned to the store again. I would have also written a review in Yelp.
In general, just keep saying to yourself, "I'm above this, I'm above this."
I too, have issues with my mom. There's just something about that relationship. When the bitching and nagging get to be too much, I usually say something like, "Mom, you know I don't like to be spoken to like that." If she's in a mood and has crossed the line, I get up and leave. I've done it a bunch of times. I don't say anything, I just turn on my heel and go. I have left her in Philadelphia, Albuquerque, Sacramento and pretty much any time she starts in on me. She always feels terrible afterwards, but I'm the one who rose above the situation.
Begin to think of yourself as a person who is above pettiness, rise above it.

I dislike the amount of time and effort spent being angry and unproductive.
Have you read
Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames
? Thich Nhat Hanh notes, as you do, that anger can lead to hurting your family, acting clumsily, and roiling your mind. But in his framework, spending quality time with your anger turns out to be really productive. Anger is like organic waste, and various meditative practices help you turn it into compost.
(Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk who also advises not drinking or watching violence on the telly, and wants you to inflict your loved ones with earnest talks; but you can totally blow that stuff off (as I, ahem, happen to know) while still benefitting from his tricks & attitude.)

When I feel myself getting angry, I ask myself:
Will getting angry result in me getting what I want out of this?
Usually the answer is "no." When it's right in your face that you're being counterproductive, it's easier to back off.

The shopkeeper was entirely in the wrong. I live in Louisiana (The South) and if a man spoke to a woman like that here, another man would quickly beat him to a pulp. How dare he call you a name and yell at you in front of your child. He could have calmly asked you to pay for it or, he could have done like everyone else does and just ignore a perfectly normal thing that happens sometimes.
I would post complaints on every local business site that you can think of. If he was the manager, then contact the owner. People in your town need to know that this crazy man is yelling at women with children. If he is that out of control at work, imagine what he is doing in his free time!
Spend a day calmly reporting his behavior to everyone you can and then let it go. You did nothing wrong. As a mother, your natural instincts are to protect your baby. Your baby was there with you when this happened. This is why it is so hard to shake off. You did nothing wrong. Your baby did nothing wrong. The shopkeeper needs to find a job that takes him away from the public.
As far as your mom goes, moms just do that to us. Forgive yourself. Let it go. When it is happening, when you are feeling really angry, imagine a cartoon piano falling out of a building, onto her head. The ridiculousness of the violence will cheer you up while exercising out some of that aggression.

Try to express your anger before it becomes overwhelming. This takes practice because you've been socialized to repress it even when it is valid and normal as a response to the situation (as with the shopkeeper). So you dwell on it for days and days instead of being up front and getting it out of the way.
Literal practice. Say things like "That is not okay, I'm leaving" or "This is not acceptable" or even just "NO" until they roll off your tongue, and then the next time you are in that situation stand up for yourself.
Your mother--get the book "You're wearing that" by Deborah Tannen.

Dinner with mum escalates to me getting angry (defensive) and bringing up unpleasant things she has done in the past
the owner shouted loudly at me
How can I stop feeling angry and just let it go?
Think about the times that you exceeded what was polite/smart/whatever - like with your mother - and how you hope people will eventually stop being angry at you.
That person treated you badly, but if he apologized would you forgive him? Can you imagine something going on in his life that would make you pity him for that outburst rather than feel angry about it? Perhaps he's a horrible person, or perhaps he just lost his lease and is going to have to close the shop and has no idea what he'll do next.
Who knows? I think the odds are better on "crappy person" than "forgivable stress" but since you can't know why not just assume the thing that works best for your mental health? You're not going to go back there either way, so what harm does it do to choose the interpretation that lets you go on with your life?
I don't think there's anything wrong with some anger when it's productive. If you see someone in your professional life discriminating against people then perhaps a little anger will motivate you to look for ways to correct it and get justice, and help you feel better about suffering the potential consequences of going against the flow. But these things where it doesn't matter behoove us to find a way to just set it down and walk on.
For me that's finding the most generous interpretation and thinking to myself "if I get wound up and yell at this possibly shitty person then maybe they just get MORE wound up and take it out on the next person. If I let this go then maybe it can just end now." I look at it as a good deed and remember that the only harm it does me is the extent I let it make me feel like shit.
It's not always easy. It's a practice. But recognizing the meaningless things gets easier and, somewhat paradoxically, it makes it easier to stand up and feel certain in situations where it's not the right thing to let it go. By directing and limiting my actions I feel more just when I to make an issue of something because I know I don't do it at the drop of a hat. And it makes it easier to learn to live with my own transgressions because I know I'm extending the generosity to others that I need sometimes.

I think you mostly answered the question yourself when you used the word "defensive" twice. In both those cases you felt like you had something to defend. In the store, the guy flat-out attacked you. Having someone go off on you way out of proportion to anything that happened is a really odd experience and you can feel really shaken later.
The thing with your own mother is-- well it reminds me of the way things happen in my family. There probably is a better way to get things done. When you say things escalate, it's not clear whether your mother has a way of needling you until you explode or what. Is there a way you can head this off by being aware of the stage where things go wrong and saying something to the effect of, "Let's not let this turn into a fight"? If discussions always end in your blowing a fuse of some kind, it does erode relationships. Just a guess, but when you blow up , your mother may feel your power with regard to her has decreased. (My own motivation for not getting het up with family members is exactly that; by keeping my cool I am in more of a place of strength. Petty, but it's a good motivation for me.)

A friend of mine has started doing something for herself that I think is funny (and useful). She allows herself X number of things per day she's allowed to get POed about (which includes the obsessive part of staying POed for longer than is logical, and working over the details in her mind.)
So now when someone does something incredibly stupid but trivial, like idiotic driving, and she starts to get wound up, she thinks- is this worth one of today's 3 (or however many) POed episodes? And she says if she thinks about it, and decides it's not, she says it's surprisingly easy to let it go.
Over time, she's planning to cut down on the number of POeds she's allowed per day.

, or a variation of it, helps me ward off my tendency to say what should not be said when I am angry. I repeat this mantra to myself ("Is it true? Is it kind? Is it helpful? Is it necessary?") and try to wait out my angry episodes which fortunately are rare but powerful.

The episode with the shopkeeper is embarrassment, and embarrassment definitely takes time to get over, and generates anger. I don't think you were in the wrong, but you were publicly shamed. Ouch. Resolution: Instead of, "Wow, what a jerk!" think "Wow, that person must have been having a
day." See it from the other perspective - shopkeeper is standing on concrete floors all day, dealing with bad pay and cranky customers, or he would never have behaved so badly. May not be true, but showing compassion costs you nothing, helps you cope.
Mom is annoying. Mom tells you how to live your life: "Mom, you raised me, so maybe it's time to trust that I learned from you, and that I will make good decisions." Mom does a Mom Thing, like straightening your hair (which was gelled exactly as you liked): "Ma, you're messing with the 'do (in mock outrage) and ya can't mess with the 'do." A small amount of non-mean humor often helps. If Mom gets more than annoying, i.e., mean, hurtful, etc., then it's "Mom, you're hurting my feelings. I'm going to leave now."
I watch grown people with their parents, and parents with their grown children a lot. The grown children have many annoying kid habits, and the parents have many annoying parent habits. Listen to Mom as if she were a friend; if your friend says "OMG, you should totally wear that color more often; it looks gorgeous on you" it's probably okay. If your Mom says "Oh sweetie, I love to see you in that red; it such a good color on you" it might annoy you, because every frickin' year, you had to have a red dress for the family picture, and would it have killed Mom to let you wear blue just once, and also, Moms are just so dense about fashion.
When getting together with Mom, or anybody you tend to have tension with, bring a mental list of conversation diverters. You start to feel annoyed when Mom bitches about your brother's kids again, so you say "Yeah, and hey, did you read about that crazy accident on Maple Street? The guy that drove into his neighbor's porch?" Ideally, you start talking about wacky news,and the tense subject is dropped. Or, Mom keeps complaining about your brother's kids: "Mom, you often seem distressed about Brother's kids. Are you really concerned about them? What's up?" which might lead to a genuine conversation in which you learn that Brother's kid got arrested twice this year, and Mom is worried. You're a grownup; so is your Mom; try to have a genuine relationship.
I'm really emotional. I've had to practice dealing with anger. I've learned that anger will not make my head asplode, so I can be angry, and not yell, cry, or kick puppies. I've learned to think before I talk pretty darn often, so when I tell someone they're being a complete and utter jerk, it comes out as "I think it's pretty unreasonable that you did X, because Y; how can we resolve this?" at least some of the time.
I spend time asking myself and/or others "What do I/you want to have happen?" and "What's the right thing to do?"
"What do I/you want to have happen?" Well, in a just and perfect world, this person would stub his toe.
"What's the right thing to do?" Nuthin. Guy was a jerk. Not my fault. Don't need to own it. Jeez, I hate getting hollered at, though.
"What do I/you want to have happen?" I want to have a genuine relationship w/ my Mom.
"What's the right thing to do?" Engage with her as a person, respect her thoughts and feelings, expect/enforce her respecting mine.

Book Description:
The clear, readable, concise, highly polished and refined writing is a traditional strength of HUMAN HEREDITY: PRINCIPLES AND ISSUES. Complex topics and important concepts are presented with great clarity and precise logic, without oversimplifying the topic. In this beautifully illustrated and thoroughly revised new edition, Michael Cummings guides students toward understanding the hows and whys of genetic topics and new discoveries. Using an accessible writing style to explain complex concepts, Cummings includes the right balance of detail at the right level for nonscience students. In addition, he helps student see the social, cultural, and ethical implications associated with the use of genetic technology. In light of the recent developments in these fields (completion of the human genome), Cummings has incorporated such newly acquired "knowledge" and the resulting modern methods and& technology not only in Chapter 13, but also throughout the book, wherever applicable, as a kind of "thematic update." (Before, genetics was research/experiment-driven. Now, it has become data-driven, hence the term "data mining." This edition will also feature a significantly stronger Web integration, mostly built around providing students with the appropriate tools to master the thinking skills needed to learn human genetics. The earlier chapters will feature a web-based "toolbox" which will walk students through the process of understanding, analyzing, and working out problems, and which will in turn enable them to understand the various difficult genetics concepts in the later chapters.

Her hubby Nick Cannon confirmed the double dose of good news on his 'Rollin With Nick Cannon' radio show on Thursday morning, according to the LA Times.
"We are having twins," the proud dad-to-be told his listeners.
But while the pair struggled to stay tight lipped about their happy news, there was one couple they just couldn't keep the news from – President Obama and the First Lady Michelle!
"They, ironically enough, questioned my wife about, you know, 'So, what are you having, are you having twins?' And at this point, she hadn't told anybody anything because doctors advised us to keep it to ourselves until we get further along," he said.
"Because of the excitement, because of the emotion, she was overwhelmed... she shared with the president and first lady that we are having twins."
Congrats Mimi and Nick! We can't wait to see the awkward matching outfits you kit them out in!

they'll push JGBs on you, while I push DNA on them.
japanese girls have no sense of shame
gaijin pride baby – they've stopped mating with impotent japanese men and are mating with guys like me instead.
Does Akihito as de facto "head of state" exercise droit du seigneur? You bet. Someone should sue HIM and the entire country of Japan for the wrongs committed against private citizens just because they can.
@HandsomeMan – man, that's extremely prejudice!!! that sounds mad ignorant. if your talking about Japanese city girls, yeah I can agree with you…but not completely. getting to the subject…why AKB48?!?!?! are they that desperate?!?! lol.
buying JGB show your nationalism as you are supporting your country (if you are Japanese). I think putting up the AKB girls is a good move in increasing the appeal for this product esp the target market.
adding these girls pictures (call it special edition) into these bonds I think will be a good strategy also. Japanese is very keen into so called "limited item" and they are a real collector. some maybe only buying this bonds for sake of their otaku collection.
Beat back the red's buy war bonds!
Japan, help your sons win the war. Buy war bonds!
Buy a share in Japan. Buy war bonds!
Get it? the ol buy war bond campaign's back in WW2 .
Bonds are how Japan keeps itself afloat these days.
@just saying, relax. Its true…
@Winsu – why would anyone with half a brain buy junk Japanese bonds… Focus on half a brain, so basically young stupid Japanese boys or horny old men…
Japan Real Time is a newsy, concise guide to what works, what doesn't and why in the one-time poster child for Asian development, as it struggles to keep pace with faster-growing neighbors while competing with Europe for Michelin-rated restaurants.

What will public education look like in five years?
Here's what Dennis Kruse, chairman of Indiana's Senate Education Committee, sees, from a list shared with Indiana school administrators:
1) People will educate students for success.
2) Virtual education will be used more.
3) Fewer buildings will be required.
4) Potential of fewer teachers teaching differently
5) More options will be available for families.
6) Choice and Competiton will increase.
7) Project learning will be used more.
8) Significant increase in Charter Schools.
9) Significant increase in Virtual Schools.
10) Introducing Hybrid Schools Virtual/Tradition
11) Increase of outside vendors (Kahn Academy)
12) Discovery Education will increase in use.
13) Business interest in education will increase.
14) More dual enrollment/dual credit classes.
15) K-12 will better prepare students for college
16) Readingand math will be emphasized more.
17) Students will come first.
18) Year Round School schedule used more.
19) School funding will remain flat.
20) Colleges of Education will change training.
At first glance, Kruse's list seems heavy on measures pushed by Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett, who lost his re-election bid last week in decisive fashion. Indiana voters didn't support Bennett's vision for their schools; they're not likely to support this one.
Kruse's list suggests Indiana will need fewer teachers, possibly because online instruction will replace them. He refers specifically to virtual learning in four of his observations; it's implied in several others.
The Auburn Republican's interest in virtual education might have something to do with his campaign supporters. Connections Academy gave Kruse $1,000 last year and $500 in 2009. The Baltimore-based virtual education provider also has generously supported the state's GOP Senate Majority Campaign Committee.
Kruse might be sold on virtual schooling, but there's plenty of evidence to suggest it is ineffective. In Ohio, it's producing low rates of college participation. There's also evidence that it shifts taxpayer dollars from students to the providers. Special education students seem to be neglected in some cases.
Kruse might also want to look at how Indiana's current virtual schools are performing under the state's A-F grading system – a system he defended in a conversation earlier this month. Indiana Connections Academyearned a D. Hoosier Academy Virtual Charter earned an F. Hoosier Academy in Muncie earned an F.
Is this what public education should look like in five years?

This shoe was the perfect complement to my Halloween 70's costume. I received so many compliments on them, and I even tied for first place in the costume contest. Only one minor flaw...over time, they can become a bit uncomfortable. But, this is not anything to harp on, as any shoe with a 3-inch…BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Published 20 April 2011
Aviators and aviation enthusiasts can carry on camping over the weekend of 7-8 May when the Goodwood Aerodrome| holds an informal Vintage Fly-In event for pre-1966 aircraft.
This event has proven to be hugely popular in the past, and the famous West Sussex aerodrome is looking forward to welcoming everyone with a passion for aircraft of the golden pre-1966 era in May. Participants and visitors will be able to mingle with like-minded enthusiasts and admire a superb collection of pre-1966 aircraft, whilst also staying over for a tempting barbeque, plus an overnight camp around the airfield itself.
Participants can fly in and join friends, colleagues and the Goodwood team overnight on Saturday 7 May to enjoy a tasty burger and a beer or two and talk vintage aviation. Goodwood's own ex-RAF World War II Harvard training aircraft will be on hand, as will a huge variety of other aircraft located at this atmospheric ex-Battle of Britain aerodrome.
By way of contrast to the pre-1966 aircraft, Goodwood's fleet of five brand new Cessna 172S Skyhawks will also be on hand for pleasure flights and private hire.
Visitors to the Goodwood Vintage Fly-In don't have to own a vintage aircraft to enjoy the evening, and all aircraft may drop in to appreciate the splendid display of older flying machines on hand. Spectator entry is free of charge.
For those who prefer not to camp out under the stars, and/or wish to fly in on either Saturday or Sunday for a day of nostalgia, they will also be made very welcome to this informal fun event. The Goodwood Hotel| will also have rooms available for those that prefer their creature comforts to a night spent under canvas.
For further information about the Goodwood Vintage Fly-In please call us on +44 (0)1243 755087 or email us email@example.com|

Very good recipe! I have tasted the real thing before, and this is about as close as it gets.
johnmichad Posted: 06/18/11
EllenDeller Posted: 09/29/11
I made 1/2 the recipe the night before I served it, and my only change was to let it sit out for 30 min before cooking so that the temperature could rise a bit, then cook with a foil cover for 15 minutes and without for 10. I did not broil it, in part because I was using a glass dish and also because it didn't need it. Had I not kept the lid on for that first 15 min, I fear it would have been very dry. With my changes, it's delicious. Served with roasted potatoes with Greek seasoning and steamed squash with lemon butter.

Here at T.Hamiltons we have been a family business for over 125 years through 5 generations spanning three centuries passed from father to son making us the by far the oldest family run business of our type in the country. With this much unequalled experience we are second to none when it comes to knowing our customers needs.
We realise that purchasing a memorial can be a very difficult and stressful time for families who have lost a loved one. That's why we are there to listen and lend a genuine compassionate ear to our clients, no matter how long it takes. Clients can sit all day if they want if they just need someone to talk to at Hamiltons we don't mind, we understand and we care.
The present owner Blair Hamilton started in the trade when he was still at school during the summer holidays then joined the firm when he was 14 years old (a long time ago). The senior mason Stephen Close has over 30 years experience in the trade as does the outside letter-cutter so we truly are stonemasons unlike many who have got themselves a sandblaster, rented a shop front and call themselves master craftsmen, having never served an hour to the trade or having any knowledge of stone whatsoever. That's why when choosing a mason we recommend you choose one with a proven track record.
Our business has been running since 1895 and has always been built upon customer satisfaction and friendly, compassionate service.

Have you seen these amazing cetacean photos by photographer Bryant Austin?
Breaching sperm whale calf.
This photograph, taken by National Geographic photographer Jason Edwards, is the first photo ever taken of two Humpback Whales mating. Quite amazing, is it not?
I went to Sagres, Portugal, and got lucky enough to see some Common Dolphins!
Southern right whale dolphin (Lissodelphis peronii)
Narwhal (Monodon monoceros)
Don't forget to turn off the lights tomorrow!
What will it take before we respect the planet?
Whale of the day
Spectacled Porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica)
The spectacled porpoise gets its name from the dark circle surrounding its eyes. Little is known about this porpoise, and most knowledge has been collected from stranded animals. Despite the fact that the species is not often sighted at sea, biologists believe it to be more abundant than what is suggested. The markings of the robust body are very distinct, the top half is black and the bottom half is white. The dorsal fin is quite large and rounded and the length ranges from 1.3m-2.2m. Most sigthings are from the southern Atlantic coast of South America but confusingely enough, some records are from offshore islands which suggests that the species is curcumpolar in sub-Antarctic and low Antarctic waters. It has been seen off the cost of Brazil, the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, Auckland, Tasmania, south Australia, Heard Island and Kerguelen. The animal has rarely been observed in the open sea.
Save the ocean, save the planet.

Loraine Lawson spoke with David Gilmour, CEO of Tacit Software, on how illumio, a new type of Web 2.0 technology that helps connect the dots between unstructured knowledge, the people who have it and the people who need it-online and within the enterprise.
Lawson: The tech press has described your product as combining "a search engine with social networking." Is that fair? What can you tell us about how the technology works?
Gilmour: Actually, illumio combines attention management with what we call collaborative social networking. By attention management, we mean what people and information you should focus on right now. And by collaborative and social network, we mean collaborating with other people, but for the purpose of sharing information-not in the "MySpace" sense of making friends. We mean, "How does the group as a whole tap into itself as a resource, tap into the expertise that its membership might hold."
Nobody we know is trying to do this set of things. We're the only ones out there that make it possible if you're in a group of people to figure out who else in the group has that relationship or nugget of knowledge that can help you, without having to spam the whole group or have the group profile itself in some cumbersome way. We're trying to get the collective wisdom out of any group.
Lawson: How does the technology work?
Gilmour: It's pretty easy. You download illumio-and illumio is a download for a very simple reason: To work, it needs to become part of your world and have access to your computing environment and figure out what's going to be interesting to you without having to burden you. It allows you to join groups. In illumio, groups consist of two things: information feeds and people.
What illumio does on your computer is monitor all the groups you're in and all of the new content in any of your feeds, plus any questions or requests from other members of the group, and it monitors all of that 24/7 as long as you're on. Then, it figures out which of those articles and requests you should pay attention to and it tells you with popups, Let's say you join a group at work or a parents' association group at your school. If that group has a newsletter as its feeds, when those items pop up, illumio monitors it and sees which information will be of interest to you. And if the information is of interest, it pops up and tells you, "This is something you should pay attention to." This means you don't have to read the feeds for yourself.
The world's become full of feeds. The whole interesting question about Web 2.0 in the enterprise is, "Gosh if everybody is starting to put up blogs and feeds, how do I keep up? I can't read them all. I need something to be going to all these feeds on its own automatically and calling my attention to what matters to me. And - by the way - I'm busy. Don't ask me what's interesting to me. Figure it out for yourself."
That is the attention management problem to us-the big challenge we have now in a world where users are creating content, everybody's creating content, and everybody's drowning in content. There are others who are trying to help you filter content, but we're the only ones who do that automatically by figuring out for ourselves based on what you're running on your PC. We can look for patterns. We let you refine it, but we don't make you tell us-we figure it out.
To us, the place we're going that nobody has gone is that we're also focused on what people you should be paying attention to - not just information. So if somebody in your group-any sort of group-asks a question, is it one that you can answer? Should we even bother you about it? Should we recommend that you respond? To us, that's the next level problem: Just as you have to figure out which information to pay attention to, you also decide which people you want to engage with, and illumio figures out which person should respond to a question or a request and alerts them without them having to declare in advance what their expertise is.
That's a big deal because, in the past, products had you fill out a form and tell what interests you have. But there's no way to detect that you know me. Our relationship - that you sent me e-mail - is never going to come up. Yet, if somebody in the group says, "Does anybody know David Gilmour?" illumio sees that it's in your e-mail. It pops up and says, "Hey, Sally wants to know David Gilmour. We see you know him pretty well. Do you want to introduce him to Sally?" In that way, our job is to make connections between people for the purposes of collaborating and exchanging information and do that 100 percent automatically and privately.
Lawson: So, how are companies using this within the organization?
Gilmour: Between Tacit's ActiveNet and illumio, we have companies in a wide range of industries. Drug companies, investment banks, aerospace. Usually it's knowledge workers in those companies who need to find knowledge or expertise and they don't know whether it exists or not. We've had story after story of people who are developing products or they are talking to vendors and they go to our system and say, "is anybody else working on this?"
Lawson: It almost sounds like you're-I don't want to say capturing, because it doesn't seem like capturing in the traditional knowledge management sense. It sounds like this is a way for companies to tap into that Web 2.0 knowledge, which thus far is something companies haven't been able to manage, use or even find very well.
Gilmour: Capture is the wrong word. Knowledge management has historically been about capture. "Let's capture everything our employees know and put it in a server." We think that "capture" fails for a lot of reasons. There's no way to "capture" everything you know, plus people hold back information for their own political power.
Don't capture knowledge. Let it stay where it is and if someone needs something, connect them with the person who has that information. They'll figure it out: They'll know if they should swap PowerPoint presentations or have a conversation. Don't try to run around and "capture" all this content. That's the Web 1.0 model, where everything has to be captured in one point of access. Just let everything be where it is and if the collaboration is successful, then you can capture the resulting piece of content. Unlike the philosophy of capture, this approach can scale. You don't want the IT structure running around trying to figure out what everybody knows. That is an un-winnable war-that is a doomsday project.
Knowledge is power and most people see it as a negative, they see it as hoarding knowledge. I see it the other way. I believe if you give people respect, allowing them to control what they share, most of the time they will do the right thing. Let them control so they can use it wisely, so they can get credit. But if you just ask them to throw all their knowledge in a big pile, they will find someway to sabotage that. Whereas, if you allow them to control that information and reward them for sharing it, I think people are inclined to help, to share.
Lawson: How is illumio different from Tacit's flagship product, ActiveNet?
Gilmour: They're completely separate approaches to the same problem. ActiveNet is an enterprise technology that's deployed on enterprise computers behind a firewall and run by IT. It learns about employees by connecting to the e-mail servers. illumio is personal. illumio works independently on the personal computer of each group member. In illumio, it's different, because if you're in a group in illumio and you say, "Does anybody know how to put a silver plate on metal?" or "Does anybody know how to move a Saturn 5 rocket?" then that question goes up to the illumio service. illumio doesn't do anything with it-it's not like Google-the only purpose of our service is to faithfully deliver that question to the users when next they're online. Everybody calculates their own score of how well they matched the question based on all the private information on that computer, but nobody gets access to it.
Lawson: Aren't companies and individuals afraid that illumio will send out information about them?
Gilmour: We think the clever thing about illumio is it can work without doing that. So you didn't have to take our word for it, we became one of the first organizations to be certified under the Trustee program. You'll see us listed there. It will explain how they have been through our program and source code in detail and certify that we do indeed do what we say we do.
Users get it. There's no reason for illumio to give your information to somebody else. The whole purpose of it is to match you to stuff.
Lawson: But do enterprises get it?
Gilmour: They get it. We're very involved with the national security community. Privacy is not a liability; it's an asset. In the publishing system, you have to upload your information. In a knowledge management system, you have to upload your expertise. You have to part with information to give it to somebody else. But with illumio, you don't have to do that. You're downloading all the searches so you can know when one matches you. There's no reason to give information about you to anybody else.
illumio is so secure that it can work across security compartments, for example, in classified situations. Let's say you're working on Top Secret Project X and we're in a big group together. I can say, does anybody know about project X? Your computer gets the search, as everybody else's does. You match, because your computer knows about Project X. But what happens? You get a popup explaining that somebody else is seeking knowledge about this. But they have no way of knowing you received the popup-or that you even exist or that Project X exists - unless you choose to respond.
Contrast that with today's approach. In most matching systems, knowledge systems, the first step is to capture what you know and have you upload it into some system, which requires that you trust the person operating the system, because now you have to list your interests. In illumio's case, you never have to trust anybody, because illumio's operating privately, locally and independently on your computer. The searches come to you instead of you going to the searches.
With the enterprise version, you get a private group that stays on the system. All the service that's responsible for distributing the services knows is whom has the search been delivered to. When you do a search in an enterprise group-let's say it's Sunday night and you send a query out to your 500-person engineer organization. You see that 10 percent received the search, but on Monday morning, when everyone turns on their computer, the percentage goes up to 90 percent. You don't know if there's a match or they just ignored it. You just know the percentage that received the search.
Lawson: What's the cost for a single group?
Gilmour: If you want to just use it publicly with no wall, it's free, but if you want to cut it off and have your own space to use it, that's what you pay for. You don't pay for a public group. You pay for a private group. It's $5 per person per group. For enterprises, we discount that for multiple groups so it's not that expensive. The fun stuff is when you join a group. The group comes with feeds. So if you join a group with stamp collecting, you're going to put in the feeds, and if somebody joins your group, they get all the feeds.

Harder for Americans to Rise From Lower RungsBenjamin Franklin did it. Henry Ford did it. And American life is built on the faith that others can do it, too: rise from humble origins to economic heights. "Movin' on up," George Jefferson-style, is not only a sitcom song but a civil religion.But many researchers have reached a conclusion that turns conventional wisdom on its head: Americans enjoy less economic mobility than their peers in Canada and much of Western Europe. The mobility gap has been widely discussed in academic circles, but a sour season of mass unemployment and street protests has moved the discussion toward center stage.
At least five large studies in recent years have found the United States to be less mobile than comparable nations. Aprojectled by Markus Jantti, an economist at a Swedish university, found that 42 percent of American men raised in the bottom fifth of incomes stay there as adults. That shows a level of persistent disadvantage much higher than in Denmark (25 percent) and Britain (30 percent) — a country famous for its class constraints.
Meanwhile, just 8 percent of American men at the bottom rose to the top fifth. That compares with 12 percent of the British and 14 percent of the Danes.
Despite frequent references to the United States as a classless society, about 62 percent of Americans (male and female) raised in the top fifth of incomes stay in the top two-fifths, according to research by the Economic Mobility Project of the Pew Charitable Trusts. Similarly, 65 percent born in the bottom fifth stay in the bottom two-fifths.
tl;dr Bootstraps is a myth.
[Content: rape, oppressive sexual violence, etc.]
Sexual violence is gendered, absolutely. It's (often) gendered on an individual level, and the distribution of sexual violence across the population is most definitely gendered. Not every instance of sexual assault is directly sexist: men aren't always the perpetrators and women aren't always the victims. But the culture surrounding sexual violence is ALWAYS affected by sexist structures: male victims are "de-masculinized" because being raped is typically associated with women and female perpetrators are rarely taken seriously or believed to be "strong" enough to have raped someone.
But I think we should remember that sexual violence is also:
- racialized violence
- AGE-related violence
- anti-trans violence
- ableist violence
- homophobic violence
- nativist violence
- class-based violence
by the same criteria.
Again, this operates on an individual level: sexual violence is oftenmotivated and enabled by those systems of oppression, and people who are POC/trans/disabled/etc. are disproportionately the target of sexual assault. But also, the culture surrounding sexual violence is ALWAYS affected by those structures: even sane rape victims are called "crazy" in order to dismiss their claims, and even queer perpetrators can take advantage of the way that their lovers will be much less likely to be able to file a restraining order against them.
Misogyny is directly responsible for the system called "rape culture," that enables rapists and treads on victims/survivors. But so is racism, and ableism, and transphobia, and capitalism, and nationalism, and and and and. When you only represent the misogynistic aspects of rape—to the exclusion of all else—you actively perpetuate those other enabling systems, and as a result you perpetuate rape culture itself.

Craig has to visit a colleague at the University of Fort Hare in Alice, about 1.5 hours away from East London. I come along for the ride.
The university is famous because it is the place where a young Nelson Mandela studied (also, Robert Mugabe, but we don't like to talk about that).
Afterwards, Craig drives the steep and winding road to Hogsback. He is alert, aware that beyond each corner there may be cows or other livestock on the road. "We'll have to make sure we leave before dark," he cautions. "The tar on the road retains heat after the sun goes down, so the animals lie on it to sleep… and get run over."
The community of Hogsback instantly reminds me of some places in British Columbia. They've got coffee shops with organic muffins, various artisans (potters, ironworkers, candlemakers, and FaeryLand which illicits an earnest "Dont you dare stop here," from me), and famously, lesbians. ("Oh you're heading to Hogsback? There are some lesbians who live up there.") Just like BC.
Craig says he wants pottery, so we set off in search of just the right thing – a mission that takes us up some pretty gnarly dirt roads right into the heart of Deliverance territory, only it's cracked out hippies instead of inbred hillbillies. Prior to the Hogsback Experience I would have been certain that the latter was scarier, but there's something about getting the tour of the kiln-room by a guy in an oversized oatmeal-coloured hand-knit turtleneck with pupils as small and sharp as tattoo needles that makes a dirty pair of coveralls downright comforting. Cue the banjos… how far is the car?
Despite this, Craig is determined. "I have been up here several times already and I want my Hogsback pottery!" he snaps, releasing the bitchy interior designer within. Luckily, we find an amaXhosa potter who isn't even remotely terrifying. In fact, he's got flocks of goats and sheep in the yard which makes me lose my mind completely. Squealing, I take a thousand pictures; Craig rolls his eyes so hard I am afraid he won't be able to drive us back down the mountain.
We buy the potter out, and inch the BMW back down to the main road. We stop at Nina's for some food and a glass of suspiciously strong wine, which leads to a heart-to-heart conversation with the proprietor (curiously, her name is not Nina but rather Cherry – a fact that makes me giggle all the way down the mountain).
The descent is treacherous. It is dusk and Craig is on the alert for heat-seeking cows. Still, we can't resist stopping at a patch of calla lillies growing on the roadside.
EEE, that goat has stolen my brain! So cute! So cute! Must cuddle it!
I'm not reading these in sequence obviously. The baby goat IS so sweet, the pottery didn't look that safe, and I loved you hanging onto the calla lillies when you thought you might slip. But the best line was "cue the banjo" (LOL) followed by the description "pupils as small and sharp as tatoo needles. Fantastic! Merle

Description: The construction work started in 1935, the first mass was held in 1937. The plans were made by Gáspár Fábián (1885-1953) thrustworthily to the old christian basilica tradition.The style of the church is very simple. In front of the sanctum there is a large fresco illustrating Hungarian and Polish saints ( by Ferenc Korbuly). On the walls there are 20 windows illustrating jesuit saints. These windows were designed by György Leszkovszky and made by Ferenc Kopf in 1937. The main altar was finished in 1961 by the plans of György Leszkovszky. Above the main altar there is a picture of the patron-saint. The most beautiful piece in the church is the altar dedicated to the heart of Jesus. It is made of green and yellow marble. It was designed by Gáspár Fábián. The doors and the candlesticks are the works of János Gunex. The Heart of Jesus statue is the work of Félix Del Amier. The blessed virgin is the creation of János Fischer. The benches were made from oak. József Kulai and Lajos Ceglédi carved the pulpit. The statue of Saint József (that can be found in the Chapel) is the work of György Vágó. The organ was designed by Béla Kuczor, the bell is the work of László Szlezák in 1939. In the hall they placed a memorial tablet remembering the victims of the war (made by Sándor Návai).

Emigrant and immigrant networks in FDI
AbstractThis article studies the relationship between emigration, immigration and the bilateral foreign direct investments (FDI), inward and outward, between Italy and 51 foreign countries. The results suggest that the networks of Italian emigrants abroad significantly promote both inward and outward bilateral FDI. The overall influence of immigrants is weaker. Their role is positively dependent on distance for FDI inward, only.
