Sepehr Vakil appointed first Associate Director of Equity and Inclusion in STEM Education at U. Texas-Austin
I just met Sepehr at an ECEP planning meeting. Exciting to meet another CS Ed faculty in an Education school! He won the Yamashita Prize at Berkeley in 2015 for his STEM activism.
Dr. Vakil's research revolves around the intersection of equity and the teaching and learning of STEM, particularly in computer science and technology. This focus has led Dr. Vakil to conduct participatory design research projects in several contexts. These efforts include founding and directing the Oakland Science and Mathematics Outreach (OSMO) program—an after school program serving youth of color in the city of Oakland. Dr. Vakil also has experience teaching and conducting research within public schools. During graduate school, he co-taught Introductory Computer Science Courses for 3 years in the Oakland Unified and Berkeley Unified School Districts. As part of a university-research collaboration between UC Berkeley and the Oakland Unified School District, he worked with students and teachers in the Computer Science and Technology Academy at Oakland Technical High School to design an after school racial justice organization named SPOCN (Supporting People of Color Now!) Dr. Vakil's work at the intersection of equity, STEM, and urban education has also led to publications in prestigious journals such as Cognition & Instruction, Equity and Excellence in Education, and the Journal of the Learning Sciences.

The Role of CS Departments in The US President's "CS for All" Initiative: Panel from #SIGCSE 2017
There was interest in our slides from the 2017 SIGCSE Panel, "The Role of CS Departments in The US President's "CS for All" Initiative." They are linked above, and summarized below.
In January 2016, US President Barack Obama started an initiative to provide CS for All – with the goal that all school students should have access to computing education. Computing departments in higher education have a particularly important role to play in this initiative. It's in our best interest to get involved, since the effort can potentially improve the quality of our incoming students. CS Departments have unique insights as subject-matter experts to inform the development of standards. We can provide leadership to inform and influence education policy. In this session, we will present a variety of ways in which departments and faculty can support CS for All and will answer audience questions about the initiative. Our goal is to provide concrete positive actions for faculty.
Barbara Ericson spoke on influencing our incoming students and using outreach to improve the number and diversity of students and to improve the number and quality of teachers.
Rick Adrion spoke on CS faculty providing subject-matter expertise to standards efforts. A key role for CS faculty is to help teachers, administrators, and public policy makers to understand what CS is.
Megean Garvin spoke on how CS faculty can provide a leadership role. Faculty have a particular privileged position to draw together diverse stakeholders to advance CS Education.
AP Computer Science Demographics Report for 2015 completed #CSEdWeek
Barbara Ericson, with the help of Phil Sands at Purdue, has now finished tabulating the demographic data for AP Computer Science for 2015 — see link here. We don't yet have the statistical tests that Kevin Karplus asked for (see post here), but Barbara did list the percentage of Hispanic exam takers with their proportion of the population.
Our blog posts on AP CS have been picked up by Audrey Watters in her 2015 Top Ed-Tech Trends summary, in a decidedly negative light.
I'll look at the whole "learn-to-code" push in an upcoming post, but I will note here: "Nationally, 37,327 students took the AP CS A exam in 2014," Mark Guzdial observed. "This was a big increase (26.29%) from the 29,555 students who took it in 2013." "Barbara Ericson's 2015 AP CS demographics analysis: Still No African-Americans Taking the AP CS Exam in 9 States." And Code.org teamed up with the College Board: because everyone needs to learn to code and then hand over money to the College Board for an AP test on the subject. Boom.
We don't analyze AP CS A in order to market for the College Board. We analyze AP CS A exam demographics because it's the only operational definition we have found of the state of computing education across the United States. From our work in "Georgia Computes!" we know that AP CS A tracks closely all other computing education in Georgia. AP CS A is a dipstick to get a sense for who's in the high school CS population.
Blog Post #1999: The Georgia Tech School of Computing Education #CSEdWeek
Three and a half years, and 1000 blog posts ago, I wrote my 999th blog post about research questions in computing education (see post here). I just recently wrote a blog post offering my students' take on research questions in computing education (see post here), which serves to update the previous post. In this blog post, I'm going to go more meta.
In my CS Education Research class (see description here), my students read a lot of work by me and my students, some work on EarSketch by Brian Magerko and Jason Freeman, and some by Betsy DiSalvo. There are other researchers doing work related to computing education in the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, notably John Stasko's work on algorithm visualization, Jim Foley's work on flipped classrooms (predating MOOCs by several years), and David Joyner and Ashok Goel's work on knowledge-based AI in flipped and MOOC classrooms, and my students know some of this work. I posed the question to my students:
If you were going to characterize the Georgia Tech school of thought in computing education, how would you describe it?
We talked some about the contrasts. Work at CMU emphasizes cognitive science and cognitive tutoring technologies. Work at the MIT Media Lab is constructionist-based.
Below is my interpretation of what I wrote on the board as they called out comments.
- Contextualization. The Georgia Tech School of Computing education emphasizes learning computing in the context of an application domain or non-CS discipline.
- Beyond average, white male. We are less interested in supporting the current majority learner in CS.
- Targeted interventions. Georgia Tech computing education researchers create interventions with particular expectations or hypotheses. We want to attract this kind of learner. We aim to improve learning, or we aim to improve retention. We make public bets before we try something.
- Broader community. Our goal is to have a broaden participation in computing, to extend the reach of computer science.
- We are less interested in making good CS students better. To use an analogy, we are not about raising the ceiling. We're about pushing back the walls and lowering the floors, and sometimes, creating whole new adjacent buildings.
- We draw on learning sciences theory, which includes cognitive science and educational psychology (e.g., cognitive load theory).
- We draw on social theories, especially distributed cognition, situated learning, social cognitive theory (e.g., expectancy-value theory, self-efficacy).
I might have spent hours coming up with a list like this, but in ten minutes, my students came up with a good characterization of what constitutes the Georgia Tech School of Thought in Computing Education.
Requirements for a Computing-Literate Society: VL/HCC 2105 Keynote
I gave a keynote talk at VL/HCC 2015 (see the program here) on Tuesday morning. Here is the abstract, the short form outline, and a link to the slides on SlideShare.net.
Abstract: We share a vision of a society that is able to express problems and ideas computationally. Andrea diSessa called that computational literacy, and he invented the Boxer Programming Environment to explore the media of computational literacy. Education has the job of making citizens literate. Education systems around the world are exploring the question of what should all citizens know about computing and how do we provide that knowledge. The questions being asked are about public policy, but also about what does it mean to be expressive with computation and what should computing users know. The answers to these questions have implications for the future of human-centric computing.
I. Our Job: The first computer scientists set the goal to achieve a Computing-Literate Society.
II. Challenges to Achieving a Computing-Literate Society
Access and Diversity
Inverse Lake Wobegon Effect
Unanswered research questions of policymakers
III. Inventing New Kinds of Computing Education
Story #1: Contextualized Computing Education.
Story #2: Understanding the Needs of High School CS Teachers.
New solicitation for NSF STEM-C: Emphasis on K-12 and Integration with Other STEM Disciplines
The new NSF STEM-C solicitation is out: See http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2015/nsf15537/nsf15537.htm.
The introduction to the new solicitation is visionary and speaks of the power of computing in STEM and for all students. Here's just the first paragraph:
The STEM + Computing (STEM+C) Partnerships program seeks to advance a 21st century conceptualization of education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) that includes computing. The "+ Computing" notation emphasizes that computing is integral to the practice of all the other STEM disciplines. In this solicitation, computing refers to the whole set of fundamental concepts and skills that will allow students to creatively apply and adapt computation across a range of application domains, to "bend digital technology to one's needs, purposes, and will."
The focus of this solicitation is primarily on integration of computing with other STEM education disciplines, and secondarily, on computing education in K-12 (including teachers). The prioritization is pretty clear from the budget limits:
The maximum total budget for Track 1: Integration of Computing in STEM Education awards is $2.5 million for Design and Development awards, $1.25 million for Exploratory Integration awards, and $250,000 for Field-Building Conferences and Workshops. The maximum total budget for Track 2: Computing Education Knowledge and Capacity Building awards is $600,000 for Research on Education and Broadening Participation awards and $1.0 million for CS 10K awards.
You can get up to $1.25M USD to explore integration of computing in STEM ($2.5M to design and develop), but at most $1M to put computing into schools and at most $600K to do research on computing education and broadening participation. We might argue about the ratios, but in the end, both tracks and all the types of proposals have enough funding to do important work that needs to happen.
CS Education Research at Tufts: Keynote by Ben Shapiro
I recommend this talk by Ben Shapiro. He does a great job framing his work in computing education research, and shows some terrific examples of his latest work. I like how his work fits so well into both computing and education — he's using education theory to help students learn important ideas in CS from distributed systems and parallelism (like latency and synchronization) that aren't yet in the CS standards. This is using advanced knowledge in CS and advanced knowledge in Education to explore new ground.

Netpen Aquaculture in Washington's Jefferson County?
Jefferson County spans Washington's Olympic Peninsula, from the remote western coast of the state to Hood Canal. The county approved has been working to update its shoreline management plan since 2009 and has been seeking Department of Ecology (DOE) approval for the plan since then. Recently the DOE approved the plan however not without a number of changes. Among the changes made by DOE is a requirement that Jefferson County scrap a ban on net pen aquaculture that had been included in the shoreline management plan saying that there is "not a conclusive scientific basis on the record," to support an outright ban on net pen aquaculture. The impacts of open net pen fish farming in British Columbia have been profound where disease and ecotoparasites spread from salmon farms have dramatically reduced the survival of some species. Wherever salmon farms have gone, destruction of wild salmon has followed and the last thing Hood Canal's ESA listed chum, chinook and steelhead need is a proliferation of salmon farms. This decision by no means ensures the expansion of salmon aquaculture in Washington's waters, however the fact that DOE does not believe there is conclusive scientific evidence on the issue is deeply concerning. Perhaps it's time to consider a statewide ban on open net pen aquaculture? Alaska, understanding the economic importance of robust runs of wild salmon has already passed similar legislation.
See an article in the Peninsula Daily news:

One more classification at times made use of is gray hat Web optimization. This can be between black hat and white hat techniques the place the approaches utilized stay away from the internet site staying penalised having said that don't act in developing the best content material for users, relatively fully centered on bettering online search engine rankings.
Although PageRank was harder to activity, webmasters had by now developed hyperlink constructing resources and techniques to influence the Inktomi search engine, and these strategies proved likewise applicable to gaming PageRank. Numerous internet sites centered on exchanging, purchasing, and offering back links, typically on a massive scale. Some of these schemes, or url farms, concerned the generation of A large number of websites for the sole goal of connection spamming.[23]
All the things is finished correct through the quite beginning in your website optimisation prerequisites.I myself are actually associated with seo sydney services online search engine optimisation since 2003.

A Patch on the Peak of Ararat
By Gary Bower & Barbara Chotiner(Illustrator) / Tyndale Kids
In Patch on the Peak of Ararat, Noah follows God's plan, resulting in his rescue from destruction. The Faith that God Built series by Gary Bower uses the same whimsical style of storytelling as The House that Jack Built, using rhyme to introduce preschoolers through second graders to favorite Bible stories. Gary has a well-developed talent for creating engaging narratives that also teach biblical truths through rhyme.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through Tyndale House Publishers book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255 : "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."
A Patch on the Peak of Ararat is a children's book; suggested for children between the ages of four and eight years of age. It provides the reader with the events and people prior to the Ark resting upon Ararat's peak. The events are presented in a rhyming style which repeats all of the events once each new event is added. In the end, there is a Scripture verse and a listed passage which references the book's content.
A Patch on the Peak of Ararat helps children learn by rhyming and repetition of what is read. This enables the child to keep the story's tale within their head.


text: Moin moin In BlueObelsik [1], there are about 500 CML-files. In my project Kalzium [2] I am now working on a frontend to these files which is similar to this example [4]. If you look at the cml-xml of these files (for example like in [3]) you'll notice very important properties like the meltingpoint <property dictRef="cml:mpt" title="melting point"> <scalar dataType="xsd:decimal" errorValue="2.0" dictRef="cml:mpt" units="unit:celsius">283</scalar> </property> or the InChI-ID <identifier version="InChI/1"> <basic>1/C11H12N2O2/c12-9(11(14)15)5-7-6-13-10-4-2-1-3-8(7) 10/h1-4,6,9,13H,5,12H2,(H,14,15)/t9-/m0/s1</basic> </identifier> After grepping OpenBabels code (todays svn/trunk) I found no way to read these properties. So the only way around this seems to be to write a XML-parser myself. As these Properties are at least in part in the cml:: namespace they are kind of "official", I think.

Well Hello Winter!
It blew in big time today. I shoveled before my men's group, mid afternoon and again after dinner. It's stopped snowing, finally, but it was kind of annoying, you know, every time I turned around it seemed, the snow was 4" deep and the plow had just gone by. Aarrgh!
We continued our decorating of the house. Most years I could care less about all that stuff. In fact when we were married and I was a mere 31 years old, I brought only 1, one, ornament into the marriage. I am not a Grinch or a Scrooge, but, all the to do in the house for a month, well, quite frankly it escaped me. This year I helped as much as I used to when I was a mere lad of 12 or so. And you know what, it was fun. Dang, all those years, lost. Never back, always forward, I am so looking forward to this from now on.
I was just thinking that I really blew the horn for my big brother's birthday. As I reflected on how I really enjoyed making a big deal out of his day, I realized that for many of you I don't know your birthday. If you want to share, please send it on to me and I'll make a shout out to you on your big day. If you have new photos, I'll post them too! You make the call.
With decorating the house comes the tree for my office. I'll take it in this week early so that we have it for our week long event. With 8 of us on the event, I'm sure we could use some Christmas cheer. Anyway, here's the tree that Holly created for me this year. Can you tell that I love blue?
Yesterday the boys came home and chased about a billion birds off our front porch. You doubt the number? Look at these photos. Sorry about the sideways shot, for some reason I am unable to rotate this photo, but Ian took this and I am proud of the shot and the style. OK, I've got an idea, if you turn your head to the right. Isn't that better? Yeah, I thought so.Thanks.
Have a great day!

About Getting in Shape
Today, as part of Biggy's fatherly duties, he had to put together Jack's new weight bench. He was assembling it in the computer room upstairs as Jack played Poker online. I walked in as they were discussing where to put it:
Biggy: I think it'll fit in your room.
TR: Why don't you put it in the empty playroom downstairs?
Biggy: He doesn't want to work out in front of people.
TR: There are plenty of times Jack's home with no one else in the house.
JackMan: I don't want to have to walk down the stairs to work out!
TR: Are you kidding me?
JackMan: No. That's why I don't want it in the basement either. That's two flights. I want to be able to roll out of bed and work out.
TR: Then roll back into bed again?
JackMan: Exactly.

About Summer off the Streets 2015
Cotswold District Council's 'Summer off the Streets' programme, now in its ninth year, is hugely popular amongst children and families encompassing a varied programme of workshops including arts & crafts, survival skills, sports and circus fun, together with a whole host of free community fun days and events linking in with national campaigns too including National Play Day and Love Parks Week.

In his column in April's Biz X Magazine, Windsor's interim mayor Drew Dilkens boasts about his continuing efforts to "… increase our cash reserves." He fails to say why this is important.
Right now, the city has hundreds of millions of dollars in various reserve funds, including $32 million to retire debt ahead of its due dates.
But, on April 17 last year, the Windsor Star reported, "… the city has already covered all the debt it is allowed to pay off early."
That money should have been returned to taxpayers, but wasn't. It could have meant no tax increase this year.
Is such a large cash stash the best use of taxpayer money? Rational people would probably say that it isn't, which is why speculation exists on why the city needs so much idle argent.
There are three possible reasons.
Maybe it is being stockpiled to help the city's credit rating. But, Windsor Council brags about not borrowing money in any great amount. It likes to pay-as-it-goes.
Such a focus would not make sense.
By chance, the city is signaling it is preparing to lose the bingo lawsuit resolution. Windsor and neighbor Tecumseh are co-defendants in a class action where the plaintiffs, local charities, accuse the municipalities of charging excessive fees for charity bingos.
Eventually, unless it settles out of court, a judge will decide.
If Windsor loses, it might have to return millions to the charities. That would help the charities.
And a far-fetched, but probably more accurate assumption, centres on Dilkens building a war chest to compete for the 2025 FINA big one.
FINA, a rich, foreign swimming outfit, has very expensive tastes. Hosting one of its smaller events, the 25m Championship in December, cost Windsor taxpayers about $20 million, although City Council has yet to release the official expenditures.
Only Council knows why it is taking so long.
A major FINA championship, one of true world stature such as this year's host Budapest can attest, can be extremely costly. Media reports from the Hungarian capital suggest a budget of more than $300 million.
Such an event would require a massive infrastructure to be built for a number of new swimming facilities; not just a temporary pool in the arena.
One clue does suggest Dilkens is saving for FINA. In his writings for Biz X, he claims sports tourism keeps, "… Windsor playing on the world stage."
As is usual, he provides no substantiation.
In fact, no proof exists to say Windsor's FINA event, which could not attract enough spectators to fill the arena, did anything for the city's world stature. This would make any more FINA spending unwise for a community of Windsor's size.
It has many more pressing needs.
To put all that sitting money in perspective, if the city did the right thing and gave its large reserves back, taxpayers would see a one-time tax cut of about two-thirds of their normal bill. That would help the economy.
It is the ratepayer's money, so why shouldn't they get it back.

Well what can I say my business has been busy and I have not posted on my blog for 2 months. Shame on me I know but my customers do come first and playing comes last.

Okay, this is all over Twitter, but in case you don't, you know, twitter, then you should know about this. Valley Swim club of Philadelphia doesn't want to change the complexion of their club. Go read the article here then spread the word by blogging, tweeting, or joining a facebook movement. Let's show these people that it's not okay to be stuck in the 1950s.

Jules and I saved our rainy yard sale outing last Saturday by going to some thrift stores.I found a couple of belts and a necklace at a next to nothing cost so I had to get them. I knew there had to be many creative possibilities in everything from the string to the beads on each one.
I decided to ask followers on Google+ what they would suggest. I like the layered wrist wrap suggestion I got. I just might have to try that.
Today I made a stretchy bracelet from the wood-looking rectangle beads on one of the belts. I added some small glass beads for color.
I've made bracelets from belts before. Check out these past blog posts to see them.

Harold Pinter, a playwright I am unfortunately not familiar with, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2005. His acceptance speech, which he could not give in person since he was sick, is sort of famous/infamous for its political stance.
You can watch the video here or read it here. Below is a selection of parts from the speech…
The tragedy of Nicaragua was a highly significant case. I choose to offer it here as a potent example of America's view of its role in the world, both then and now. I was present at a meeting at the US embassy in London in the late 1980s. The United States Congress was about to decide whether to give more money to the Contras in their campaign against the state of Nicaragua. I was a member of a delegation speaking on behalf of Nicaragua but the most important member of this delegation was a Father John Metcalf. The leader of the US body was Raymond Seitz (then number two to the ambassador, later ambassador himself). Father Metcalf said: 'Sir, I am in charge of a parish in the north of Nicaragua. My parishioners built a school, a health centre, a cultural centre. We have lived in peace. A few months ago a Contra force attacked the parish. They destroyed everything: the school, the health centre, the cultural centre. They raped nurses and teachers, slaughtered doctors, in the most brutal manner. They behaved like savages. Please demand that the US government withdraw its support from this shocking terrorist activity.'
Raymond Seitz had a very good reputation as a rational, responsible and highly sophisticated man. He was greatly respected in diplomatic circles. He listened, paused and then spoke with some gravity. 'Father,' he said, 'let me tell you something. In war, innocent people always suffer.' There was a frozen silence. We stared at him. He did not flinch. 5 Innocent people, indeed, always suffer. Finally somebody said: 'But in this case "innocent people" were the victims of a gruesome atrocity subsidised by your government, one among many. If Congress allows the Contras more money further atrocities of this kind will take place. Is this not the case? Is your government not therefore guilty of supporting acts of murder and destruction upon the citizens of a sovereign state?'
Innocent people, indeed, always suffer. Finally somebody said: 'But in this case "innocent people" were the victims of a gruesome atrocity subsidised by your government, one among many. If Congress allows the Contras more money further atrocities of this kind will take place. Is this not the case? Is your government not therefore guilty of supporting acts of murder and destruction upon the citizens of a sovereign state?'
Seitz was imperturbable. 'I don't agree that the facts as presented support your assertions,' he said.
The United States supported the brutal Somoza dictatorship in Nicaragua for over 40 years. The Nicaraguan people, led by the Sandinistas, overthrew this regime in 1979, a breathtaking popular revolution. The Sandinistas weren't perfect. They possessed their fair share of arrogance and their political philosophy contained a number of contradictory elements. But they were intelligent, rational and civilised. They set out to establish a stable, decent, pluralistic society. The death penalty was abolished. Hundreds of thousands of poverty-stricken peasants were brought back from the dead. Over 100,000 families were given title to land. Two thousand schools were built. A quite remarkable literacy campaign reduced illiteracy in the country to less than one seventh. Free education was established and a free health service. Infant mortality was reduced by a third. Polio was eradicated. The United States denounced these achievements as Marxist/Leninist subversion. In the view of the US government, a dangerous example was being set. If Nicaragua was allowed to establish basic norms of social and economic justice, if it was allowed to raise the standards of health care and education and achieve social unity and national self respect, neighbouring countries would ask the same questions and do the same things. There was of course at the time fierce resistance to the status quo in El Salvador.
I spoke earlier about 'a tapestry of lies' which surrounds us. President Reagan commonly described Nicaragua as a 'totalitarian dungeon'. This was taken generally by the media, and certainly by the British government, as accurate and fair comment. But there was in fact no record of death squads under the Sandinista government. There was no record of torture. There was no record of systematic or official military brutality. No priests were ever murdered in Nicaragua. There were in fact three priests in the government, two Jesuits and a Maryknoll missionary. The totalitarian dungeons were actually next door, in El Salvador and Guatemala. The United States had brought down the democratically elected government of Guatemala in 1954 and it is estimated that over 200,000 people had been victims of successive military dictatorships. Six of the most distinguished Jesuits in the world were viciously murdered at the Central American University in San Salvador in 1989 by a battalion of the Alcatl regiment trained at Fort Benning, Georgia, USA. That extremely brave man Archbishop Romero was assassinated while saying mass. It is estimated that 75,000 people died. Why were they killed? They were killed because they believed a better life was possible and should be achieved. That belief immediately qualified them as communists. They died because they dared to question the status quo, the endless plateau of poverty, disease, degradation and oppression, which had been their birthright.
The United States finally brought down the Sandinista government. It took some years and considerable resistance but relentless economic persecution and 30,000 dead finally undermined the spirit of the Nicaraguan people. They were exhausted and poverty stricken once again. The casinos moved back into the country. Free health and free education were over. Big business returned with a vengeance. 'Democracy' had prevailed.
The United States supported and in many cases engendered every right wing military dictatorship in the world after the end of the Second World War. I refer to Indonesia, Greece, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Haiti, Turkey, the Philippines, Guatemala, El Salvador, and, of course, Chile. The horror the United States inflicted upon Chile in 1973 can never be purged and can never be forgiven. Hundreds of thousands of deaths took place throughout these countries. Did they take place? And are they in all cases attributable to US foreign policy? The answer is yes they did take place and they are attributable to American foreign policy. But you wouldn't know it. It never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening it wasn't happening. It didn't matter. It was of no interest. The crimes of the United States have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have actually talked about them. You have to hand it to America. It has exercised a quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good. It's a brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of hypnosis.
What has happened to our moral sensibility? Did we ever have any? What do these words mean? Do they refer to a term very rarely employed these days – conscience? A conscience to do not only with our own acts but to do with our shared responsibility in the acts of others? Is all this dead? Look at Guantanamo Bay. Hundreds of people detained without charge for over three years, with no legal representation or due process, technically detained forever. This totally illegitimate structure is maintained in defiance of the Geneva Convention. It is not only tolerated but hardly thought about by what's called the 'international community'. This criminal outrage is being committed by a country, which declares itself to be 'the leader of the free world'. Do we think about the inhabitants of Guantanamo Bay? What does the media say about them? They pop up occasionally – a small item on page six. They have been consigned to a no man's land from which indeed they may never return. At present many are on hunger strike, being force-fed, including British residents. No niceties in these force-feeding procedures. No sedative or anaesthetic. Just a tube stuck up your nose and into your throat. You vomit blood. This is torture. What has the British Foreign Secretary said about this? Nothing. What has the British Prime Minister said about this? Nothing. Why not? Because the United States has said: to criticise our conduct in Guantanamo Bay constitutes an unfriendly act. You're either with us or against us. So Blair shuts up.
Death in this context is irrelevant. Both Bush and Blair place death well away on the back burner. At least 100,000 Iraqis were killed by American bombs and missiles before the Iraq insurgency began. These people are of no moment. Their deaths don't exist. They are blank. They are not even recorded as being dead. 'We don't do body counts,' said the American general Tommy Franks.
Early in the invasion there was a photograph published on the front page of British newspapers of Tony Blair kissing the cheek of a little Iraqi boy. 'A grateful child,' said the caption. A few days later there was a story and photograph, on an inside page, of another four-year-old boy with no arms. His family had been blown up by a missile. He was the only survivor. 'When do I get my arms back?' he asked. The story was dropped. Well, Tony Blair wasn't holding him in his arms, nor the body of any other mutilated child, nor the body of any bloody corpse. Blood is dirty. It dirties your shirt and tie when you're making a sincere speech on television.

SANTA CLARA — Colin Kaepernick was interviewed Wednesday afternoon in the 49ers' locker room. Here's a transcript courtesy of the 49ers' P.R. department.
Nothing like the home opener, especially in a new stadium, so I know you guys have been looking forward to this game.
"Yes, very much so."
Is there any special meaning for you, your first start came against the Bears, so much has happened since then, is this game still any kind of benchmark for you that you look for?
"Two and 0 benchmark is what we're looking for."
How long did it take you and RB Carlos Hyde to click running the read-option?
"Not very long. He ran it in college, was very familiar with it, and he has very good instincts."
Were there any minor adjustments from the way he ran it there to how you guys do it here?
"No, not too much."
Any surprise that a guy that big, 234 pounds, can run the read-option like he does?
"We had a running back in college similar to him. Not quite as fast or agile, but he's a good fit for it."
Who was that?
"[Former Nevada RB] Vai Taua."
It must feel pretty good to have so many great receivers to look for. It's kind of like a buffet for you. Christmas in September?
"Very much so. It makes it a lot easier on me, a lot easier on the coaches."
How did those guys react after the first game, where TE Vernon Davis and WR Anquan Boldin got a lot of the production, but WR Michael Crabtree and WR Stevie Johnson and WR Brandon Lloyd didn't necessarily? What was their reaction afterwards in terms of just being unselfish roles in the team offense?
"They were happy about the win. That's what we're here to do, we're trying to win games regardless of who's getting touches."
Do you feel like it's still kind of a mystery a lot of teams may not know what those guys can bring to the offense at this point?
"I think they know what they're capable of. I don't think they know their role in our offense yet."
Did anything surprise you in Dallas that maybe you didn't realize was an asset for you that you realize you have going into this Bears game?
"No, I think I was confident in all the players on this team. We have a lot of great ones and they've shown that they can make plays."
When you go into a game, do you have an idea who's going to be the receiver that you look to the most, or is that pretty much just dictated on what happens after the snap?
"It's dictated by the defense. That'll determine where we're going."
Is that why so many balls went to Anquan, he was just open a lot, especially out of the slot?
"Yeah. That's what the defense was giving us, so we're going to take it."
Your head coach said his new word to describe Anquan is 'stalwart.' What would your word be?
Chicago poses a big threat off the sides especially. What are you seeing from their defensive line? They've got a lot of speed it looks like.
"Very physical, very fast. Do a lot of things well."
They allowed the second most points in the NFL last year. I assume you've seen Week 1 tape as well as tape from last year. Have they changed things up as far as personnel much or what they're doing defensively?
"Personnel is different, scheme is the same for the most part. We're going to have to bring our A-game."
So far, what do you like better about this place better than Candlestick? So far.
"It's newer." [Laughter]
Do you need to go out and see the field at all or see what condition it is? Is that something that even affects you at all?
"I play on whatever field we step on."
Is it just a little bit more nerve-wracking though for you since you are kind of christening this new field and with the regular season beginning? This is the Kaepernick era that you're starting here.
"No, not at all. To me, football's football. Doesn't matter where you play, when you play."
Is the distraction element somewhat taken out since you guys have played a couple preseason games here?
"I think everyone's focused on Chicago. I don't think we're worried about having our first game here. We're worried about trying to get this win."
When you went up against CB Dontae Johnson during training camp or during scout teams or anything, what does he bring as that rookie DB because he may be asked to step in and start this week?
"I think confidence is the biggest thing. I think that's why they were able to put him out there and he was able to go out and make plays. He's confident in what he's doing and he trusts himself."
He had said that really he's still learning the cornerback position because in college he played several DB positions. Do you see a quick growth in him? Does it seem like he hasn't–?
"Yeah, he picks up on things quickly. He reacts to the ball. He's ultimately just a football player."
What was your reaction when you heard that RB LaMichael James had been granted his release on Monday?
"I don't get into those things. I let the people upstairs handle that."
Looking back to your start against the Bears in 2012, you were told the night before the game that you would start?
Did you get any sleep that night? What was your sleep pattern before the game?
"Sleep's never been a problem for me."
You weren't nervous about it?
How'd you grade last Sunday for yourself? Coach liked what you did.
"I thought I could have done a few things better, made a few different reads. Ultimately, we got the win."
So just different reads? You liked your decisions in terms of when you took off a few times, you stayed a few times?

Meet Deanna Weaver
Welcome! After my training at South West Institute of Natural Aesthetics in Tempe, I started my aesthetics career in a fast paced waxing spa. I quickly learned that my passion for skin and people blended perfectly. I gained over three years of waxing experience, but felt there was something missing. This is when the idea of Ivory Wax Bar was born.
In December of 2014 I opened Ivory Wax Bar, a boutique waxing studio that caters to individuals needs. Here I am able to take a more tailored approach to waxing. I am committed to providing a quick, efficient and most of all comfortable experience for everyone!
I'm thankful I have the opportunity to be an owner of a business I love! I look forward to serving my clients for many years to come.

Okay, maybe not back from outer space... but she's back from Space Camp!
We're so proud of her... and so happy that she has returned home. Mackenzie won the Right Stuff Award -- a very prestigious accomplishment considering how many amazing young people are also deserving of such an honor. (But it's no surprise to us -- we always knew she was awesome!)
What else did we do today? Well... most of our day was preoccupied with Kenzie's arrival. (She didn't get in until 10pm at night.) But we did pass the time by working on our yard -- which is very dead and very dry. I also worked on "Around the World," read a couple chapters of Ready Player One, and met with Randy and Chris to continue our work on the Radio Play.

30 Before 30 ~ DIY Fan MakeoverPosted: July 26, 2012 Filed under: 30 Before 30, Crafty 1 Comment
The house that we purchased here in Texas was a foreclosure. Now don't get the wrong picture, it's only 5 years old and it is in such great condition that when we looked at it, we first thought it was a brand new house. The people before didn't trash it (if they did the bank fixed it all) but they did take anything of value. They took the stove, the motors for the garage door openers, the blinds, and even all the ceiling fans. You know the bank spent as little as possible trying to get it in shape so they put in the $10 lighting fixtures in every room and being this is Houston, we desperately needed ceiling fans. Kylee's room was the last priority since, at the time, she was not staying in there.
My aunt took down an old ceiling fan from their house and asked if we wanted it. We had spent a lot on the house already, so I'm sure as heck going to take something for free! She took it out for a reason; it's an old ugly plain white fan with GOLD accents and I HATE gold. So I decided it's going in Kylee's room, why not make a project out of it!!!! Heck, it was free, I have nothing to lose.
This was the fan when we received it, boring and outdated. So my first task was to disassemble it and get rid of all the gold. I took everything that was gold and applied 2 coats of Rustoleum hammered bronze. I loved the hammered look and it really did turn out as good as it looks on the cap of the can.
The next thing I did was paint colored polka dots onto the fan blades that coordinate with the colors that I did in Kylee's room. I'm a perfectionist, so I used the spray paint can as a stencil for the circles and I carefully measured out where they went to make sure every fan was the same.
After that all I had to do was reassemble the fan. Now the thing that I am most proud of is that Kyle didn't help me with any of it!! I took it all apart and put it all back together all by myself; the only thing he did was hang the fan in the room.
And here is the finished product hanging in Kylee's new room, which she does spend a lot of time in now.

New This Month:
Molar and 2 bottom front teeth came in
Kicks when floating to "swim" to someone
Sometimes signs "thank you" without being told to
Wants mama to kiss booboos
Crosses fingers on left hand
FINALLY sleeps all night in her own room
Covers owies with her hand and says ouch
New words (kisses, ouch, mine)
Loves to put on our flip flops and walk in them
Puts right hand up in an L shape for "loser" (thanks to my dad)
For a little over a week, we didn't have any sunshine, just rain. So what better time to do playing in the rain pictures?

Annual mud day – Michigan USA
For people in Westland, Michigan, it's an annual ritual to wallow, slather and generally gad about in glorious mud. About 5,000 people turned up the for the state's 24th annual mud day, where mud is king and … well, you get the picture
Apparently it took 200 tonnes of top soil and 20,000 gallons of water to create this Michigan mud pit. A job well done

Did you know...
Did you know that turtles can get sick like we get a cold. well we did not until one of our little head start terrapins got sick. First there was a lot of eye scratching then trouble eating and lots of sunning on the rock. Turned out a sulfa bath was needed and some extra care. We had to bring him back to MATES to get the care needed. Little did we realize this would be catchy before we knew it another was sick and had to also go back to MATES for treatment. We are awaiting their return. The other 3 are doing well although biting and trying to eat the smaller of the 3.

Erin Radfordwrote a review of MSR TrailShot Microfilter on February 22, 2017
Major weight savings
Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I'll post a more detailed review when I've used the MSR Trail Shot a few more times.
It's 1/3 of the weight of my old Pur Hiker & 1/2 the size. It's probably going to replace my Pur on solo excursions.
