Under the Federal Equal Access Act, any school that receives government funding and has at least one other non-curricular club must also allow a GSA. As the law states, "It shall be unlawful for any public secondary school which receives Federal financial assistance...to deny equal access or a fair opportunity to, or discriminate against, any students who wish to conduct a meeting ...on the basis of the religious, political, philosophical, or other content of the speech at such meetings."
The law also says that your school must treat all clubs the same and let them use school resources in the same way. If your school allows other clubs to meet in classrooms, put up posters and organize school events, then they have to allow your GSA do the same.
The state of California requires schools to teach about the contributions of women, people of color, and other historically underrepresented groups. On January 1, 2012, the state updated these guidelines to end the exclusion of people with disabilities and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people from history and social studies lessons. You have the right to an inclusive education! Check out our resources to ensure your school is following the FAIR Education Act.
Please call GSA Network for support and guidance. While we cannot provide you with direct legal advice, we can help you make decisions about what steps make the most sense for you. We can help you prepare a plan for talking to school administrators about your rights and their obligation to protect you. We can help you learn how to file a complaint at your school or how to bring a complaint to the state or federal authorities. We can also refer you to one of the many legal organizations that can help advocate for you. Link to Contact us page. We need to add our phone #s & addresses to that page.

Taxing Britney Spears heavilyMay 7th, 2010 by ftobia
First I'm going to note (or assume) some things about celebrity. Celebrity is a scarce resource. Celebrities are like monopolistically competitive goods since there's only one of each but they can be substituted for other goods or other celebrities. I also assume that there are at least some classes of celebrities where they aren't intrinsically valuable. For example, many people can sing and dance and be scantily clad on occasion, but only some people can be Britney Spears. I'm not sure if this is true, but I am assuming that some celebrities are just anointed, somehow chosen by the demigods of entertainment, for no particular earthly reason. The best example I can think of right now is Paris Hilton. She would just be another nobody with a sex tape on the internets if her family hadn't been rich and famous.
If the above is a reasonable approximation of reality, then celebrities should be taxed. Specifically, the quantity we define as "celebrity" should be taxed. Heavily. Notice this is not about taxing celebrities for doing productive things, but instead taxing them just because they have celebrity. The fact of the matter is that they already have lots of fringe benefits of being a celebrity, like getting to go to all the cool clubs and hanging out with all the cool people or whatever. And they should profit a little bit from their celebrity. But they shouldn't profit to the tune of millions and millions of dollars.
I am thinking here of the case of Britney Spears. It's my opinion that pretty much any young attractive girl with a decent singing voice could have replaced Britney Spears and would have had the same ride, except maybe she wouldn't have gone crazy a while back. Celebrity in this case amounts to a huge arbitrary redistribution of wealth. Why Britney and not some other girl who could have made it? I can't think of a reason. Since celebrity is an important resource, and a scarce resource of that, we should treat it as a public resource. And we should regulate it with some sort of average cost pricing, like we do with power plants and water companies.
Of course then we run into having to design mechanisms to track, measure, and tax celebrity. I know it'd be really hard to do. But I still think it would be cool.

buttermilk cluster
It seems ridiculous that it took me so long to make this bread. I've been staring at the photo of Floyd's buttermilk cluster for ages. Every time I thought, "I've GOT to make that!" And then The Fresh Loaf website was featured in this year's SAVEUR 100. Which bread did the SAVEUR kitchen choose to feature? Buttermilk cluster, of course.
I was really surprised when I saw a scathing review of the loaf on the SAVEUR site because all of the reviews on the FreshLoaf say the complete opposite. I examined both versions of the recipe and saw that the SAVEUR recipe calls for 5 cups flour rather than the 6 – 6½ cups flour on the Freshloaf recipe.
I assumed that SAVEUR had made a typing mistake.
I just couldn't believe that all of these rave reviews on The FreshLoaf would be wrong, nor could I believe that SAVEUR would have added the FreshLoaf into the 100 list if the bread were no good.
I used whole wheat and unbleached all-purpose flour and a little less yeast, but otherwise pretty much stuck to Floyd's version. After some tribulation (I had to add more liquid because the dough was so dry), the final result was stellar!
Well!! As you must have guessed from the photo, we were thrilled after pulling this bread out of the oven.
It looked and smelled fabulous!! I removed the outer ring and stuck the thermometer in – huh! only 180F. So back into the oven it went for 5 more minutes to drive the internal temperature up to 200F.
We left it to cool overnight and had it for breakfast this morning with butter, goat's cheese and black currant jam. It was crusty on the outside and soft and springy on the inside.
It. Was. Delicious.
Thank you, Floyd!
P.S. For more photos and details about what I did, please see buttermilk cluster (bookmarked, YS)

Check out any CSU library and experience the different sights and sounds. Fewer stacks, more tables with students working and conversing over laptops or tablets, and robotic storage systems for those books that rarely are opened.
As part of the CSU's strategic direction to continually update and innovate, the LA Basin campuses have created the CSU LA Basin pilot project to develop cost-effective library services for student and faculty success.
As the group re-envisions libraries, they are concentrating on four areas: (1) print collection management; (2) transforming library facilities and services; (3) systemwide library assessment of learning outcomes and Graduation Initiative priorities; and
(4) expanding shared services including technology.
As the project progresses, more information will be detailed.
The CSU Center for Community Engagement is celebrating 15 years of service learning. The center has established
Fifteen for Fifteen, a campaign through the crowd-sourcing website Indiegogo
to raise $15,000 to support CSU community engagement efforts. For ways to contribute visit Fifteen for Fifteen.
"Our students live and support their families in the communities in which they serve. They recognize that what they do today will impact the generations of tomorrow," says Judy Botelho, CSU's director of the Center for Community Engagement. "We are excited to help fund projects that will positively influence higher education, our state and our students."
In other service news, 16 CSU campuses were recognized in the 2013 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for their commitment to community service. The Honor Roll commends institutions for encouraging students to make significant contributions to the community through volunteer work.
All of the CSU campuses are continuing their efforts to increase graduation rates and close the achievement gap for underrepresented students. They are tackling the issue in various ways that complement their unique student bodies. Faculty, staff and administrators are collaborating to find what will work best to ensure student success.
Several programs fall under the Graduation Initiative umbrella. The first is the Early Assessment Program (EAP), with a goal of having California high school graduates enter the CSU fully prepared to begin college-level study. A presentation on the program was made at a recent Board of Trustees meeting.
Another is the Early Start program. The goal is to have students begin their remedial English and math classes in the summer before their fall term so they move quickly into their course of study. The latest presentation is here.
Also assisting students is the Associate Degree for Transfer program (SB 1440). Students who take a 60-unit prescribed course of classes at a community college obtain an associate's degree, then transfer to a CSU campus where they take an additional 60 units and graduate with a bachelor's degree.
Welcome to another edition of News and Reflections, which highlights programs and people from the campuses and Chancellor's Office. This certainly is a year of change, with Timothy P. White becoming the new California State University chancellor, new presidents and provosts' joining and others departing, and the CSU finally getting a slight boost in its budget for the first time in years.
The Academic Affairs division is concentrating on our major initiatives, some of which you can read about in this issue. We are working on how best to use and allocate the $10 million that Gov. Jerry Brown has budgeted for technology to reduce bottleneck courses. The Chancellor's Office is developing an RFP that will ask campuses to find ways to redesign courses, scale-up best practices and improve student services. Additionally, the CSU's proposed 2013-14 budget calls for $7.2 million for new, innovative or accelerated student success initiatives to reduce time to degree, close the achievement gap and move students closer to graduation and careers. The next few months will be a time of ramped-up activities across the system. In other news, I wanted to congratulate Cal State Fullerton President Millie Garcia for being elected chair of the board of the Association of American Colleges and Universities; San José State President Mohammad Qayoumi for his appointment to the Homeland Security Academic Advisory Council; Cal State Los Angeles President James M. Rosser for receiving the 2013 Golden Torch Award for Lifetime Achievement in Academia from the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE); and Cal State San Marcos President Karen S. Haynes Harrison for receiving the American Council on Education's 2013 Donna Shavlik Award for her exemplary contributions to women in higher education. Finally, I want to wish CSU General Counsel Chris Helwick all good wishes on her well-deserved retirement.
Many CSU campuses are making safety and efficiency a priority in 2013. Recently funded capital projects have been completed or are just beginning this month with lasting impact on both the campus and local community. The Channel Islands Entrance Road is a joint multimodal transportation project completed in coordination with Ventura County. The project involved the construction of a new roadway connecting the campus to Lewis Road, which the county has recently expanded to a 4-lane highway that includes a new 4-lane bridge to the campus across Calleguas Creek. The new entrance includes sidewalks, bike paths, a landscaped median, entry signage and kiosk and street lights. The project also includes two vehicular bridges and two pedestrian bridges crossing Long Grade Creek. The road was made possible by the acquisition in 2007 of agricultural land adjacent to CSUCI. The goal of this $25.2 million project was to meet the campus need for a safe and reliable primary access, promote multimodal commuting and enhance the campus visibility and university identity. The entrance road opened with a dedication ceremony in the spring of 2012 that was hosted by President Dick Rush and attended by county and local officials as well as representatives of Caltrans, the Chancellor's Office, the US Navy and the local Chumash Indian tribe.
The CSU Maritime Academy physical education replacement project began in March. Bonds will finance the estimated $34.7 million project, which will construct a new 38,601 square-foot building at the campus entrance that will include an outdoor aquatics survival training pool. In addition to the 50-meter pool for academics, survival training, athletics, and recreation, the two-level facility includes a variety of training, administrative and support areas. The building will be clad in white precast concrete panels interspersed with translucent glass and visually supported by brick walls which reference the historic building material and color of the main campus. Occupancy is expected in August 2014.
CSU Bakersfield will break ground on construction of the Bakersfield Art Center and Satellite Plant in August 2014. The new art center will replace facilities in the campus core with a new 16,181 square-foot building in the western section of the campus, accommodating 224 full-time equivalent students, and provide lecture, laboratory space and faculty offices. The center will be u-shaped with drawing and photo labs that frame a central courtyard and face the future humanities complex quad to the north. The building interior is designed to provide flexible and functional environments for five programmatic lab areas using indoor-outdoor studio areas, a large covered patio, and exhibit areas that flow into the adjoining courtyard.
CSU Monterey Bay and a local community college are offering a unique three-year computer science degree starting in fall 2013.
The University Bookstore at Cal State Long Beach has been chosen as the Collegiate Retailer of the Year by the National Association of College Stores (NACS). Awarded biennially, the honor is given to one college store that displays extraordinary leadership and excellence among the nation's prominent collegiate retailers. PRESS RELEASE »
Customers who line up for sweet corn, ice cream, olive oil and other goods produced by Fresno State students have a new place to shop for their favorite items. The university recently celebrated the grand opening of a new Rue and Gwen Gibson Farm Market on the campus.
The courage and inspiration of Anne Frank will be honored in mid-April as Sonoma State University plans to plant the sapling taken from the mother chestnut tree that often gave Frank hope as she hid from the Nazis in World War II. FULL STORY »

Shut Your Mouth
Promiscuous French kissing nearly quadruples your risk of spinal meningitis,at least if you're a teenager. The disease is "potentially life-threatening." The good news: A vaccine can block one version of the illness (but not others), and "there was also a lower infection rate among those who had attended a religious service." Reactions: 1) Happy Valentine's Day! 2) Let's see—genital contact is unsafe; kissing is unsafe; how about holding hands? Would that be too much to ask? 3) Does religion protect teens who French kiss multiple partners, or are those who go to church more likely to be lying about the multiple partners? (For Human Nature's take on more dangerous intimate acts, click here.)
Polygamous inbreeders are pumping out children so retarded they need constant care. Ninety percent of the 8,000 members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which occupies two towns on the Arizona-Utah border, are reportedly related to at least one of two founding families. Most members carry a recessive gene for fumarase deficiency. Relations among these relations have produced at least 20 kids with the full-blown disease; doctors expect many more as the inbreeding, which began with the community's founding 76 years ago, continues. Community's view: We marry our kin because we're the chosen people. Outsiders' view: We draw the line when you ruin kids and dump their lifetime medical costs on taxpayers. (For Human Nature's takes on cousin marriage and incest, click here, here, and here.)
Congress and the Bush administration are fighting overhorse-butchering. American firms slaughtered 88,000 horses, mules, and related animals last year; Congress tried to stop it by defunding obligatory veterinary inspections, but the Agriculture Department plans to circumvent that restriction by asking slaughterers to fund the inspections. Anti-slaughter outcries: 1) The department is "thumbing its nose at Congress." 2) It's a reign of "commerce and greed." 3) It's disgusting to kill animals that "served us faithfully and provided us with companionship." Pro-slaughter arguments: 1) Nobody can afford to care for horses once they're useless. 2) Slaughtering them is humane, because the law requires us to render them impervious to pain beforehand. 3) If we don't slaughter them, Mexicans and Canadians will. Bonus disclosure: Americans don't eat most of the meat from our slaughtered horses; Europeans and Asians do. (For Human Nature's take on animal rights, click here; for Slate's take on eating dogs, click here.)
Male circumcision protects women from AIDS. In a Ugandan study, circumcision lowered women's infection risk by 30 percent. In men, the risk reduction is 50 percent to 70 percent. Researchers' theory: Cells in the foreskin are susceptible to the virus and likely to pass it on. (For Human Nature's previous update on circumcision as protection for men, click here. For circumcision as an adult, click here. For bloodsucking circumcision in the United States, click here.)
Eating less fat won't reduce your risk of cancer or heart disease, according to a huge study. Also, low-fat diets don't reduce weight, and high-carbohydrate diets don't increase it. This is the latest study to debunk conventional diet wisdom; previous studies debunked theories that fiber and vitamins helped avoid cancer. Excuses/interpretations: 1) The key is to cut saturated fat, not all fat. 2) The key is to eat fruits and vegetables. 3) The key is to eat fewer calories. 4) The key is exercise, not diet. 5) Maybe you'll get the benefits if you eat even less fat than people ate in this study. 6) You should still eat less fat, because maybe it helps you in some other way. 7) You "experts" don't know squat, so stop telling us what to eat. 8) Give it up; it's all controlled by genes. (For Human Nature's updates on the benefits of coffee, click here and here. For the benefits of chocolate, click here and here. For the benefits of alcohol, click here and here.)
Olympians are abstaining from sex to boost their performance, despite evidence that they should have sex instead. Triathletes, skaters, swimmers, boxers, ice dancers, and others avoid nookie before big contests; one says he abstained for 233 days. The Canadian swim team required an abstinence pledge; Pittsburgh Steelers coaches order players not to stay with wives or girlfriends the night before games and enforce this with room checks. Rationales: conserving strength, energy, focus, or your edge. But studies refute all these benefits and suggest sex can actually help by steadying you, increasing your tolerance for pain, and boosting your testosterone levels, which is so performance-enhancing it would be illegal if you did it with dope. Cynical theory: Abstinence rules are a fraud used by coaches to make sure their athletes get enough sleep. (WSJ link requires subscription.) (For previous updates on the benefits of sex, click here. For Human Nature's take on athletic doping, click here.)
Nearly 80 percent of Alzheimer's cases are caused in part by genes, according to the largest-ever study of the disease in twins. Interpretations: 1) If you don't have the genes, maybe you're home free. 2) If you don't have the genes, maybe it'll just take you longer to get Alzheimer's than it took 80 percent of the people in this study. 3) If you do have the genes, diet and exercise might still delay it. Bonus finding: Being chronically depressed earlier in life makes you deteriorate more rapidly once you get Alzheimer's.
The face-transplant patient showed her face at a press conference. The good: 1) She can talk. 2) She can eat normal food, which used to be impossible. 3) She can drink from a cup. 4) She's regaining sensation. 5) She can "show emotions through my face," sort of. 6) You can hardly see her scar from a distance. 7) She can go out now without drawing stares from everyone—unless you recognize her. The bad: 1) Her face hardly moves. 2) Her voice is slurred, since her lips do nothing. 3) You can see her teeth all the time. The unknown: 1) She might not regain much facial mobility. 2) Her body tried to reject the face once and might do so again. The worst: 1) Here's how she discovered her face was gone: "When I woke up, I tried to light a cigarette and didn't understand why it wouldn't stay between my lips. That's when I saw the pool of blood and the dog beside it." 2) She's still smoking. (For previous updates on the face transplant, click here and here. For an update on transplanting fingers, click here.)
Opponents of evolution are meeting unexpected resistance in Utah. The state senate narrowly passed a bill requiring teachers to tell students that scientists disagree about the origins of life, but some key Republican lawmakers are fighting it. Supporters' views: 1) If some scientists dispute evolution, we should say so. 2) The bill isn't religious; it just about "not overstepping what we know." Opponents' views: 1) God has no problem with science. 2) Mixing faith and science will corrupt faith. 3) Mormons, being a minority, should beware religious majoritarianism. 4) Mormons, believing in progress and spiritual transcendence, have no problem reconciling a higher future with a lower past. Question: If creationists are telling kids to respect dissent regardless of its evidentiary merits, aren't they the new softheaded pluralists? (For Human Nature's take on the future of creationism, click here; for Slate's take on Mormons and stem cells, click here.)
Cops are busting minors for "internal possession" of alcohol. The old rule required police to find a can or bottle on you, but under new laws in some states, booze on your breath, wobbly walking, and/or a .02 blood alcohol level is proof enough. Critics' complaints: 1) How can you assert proof of possession when you can't see the thing allegedly possessed? 2) How can you hold someone responsible for intoxication unrelated to a criminal act, especially since intoxication, unlike drinking, is a state, not an act?
Latest Human Nature columns: 1) Men, women, and the joy of punishment. 2) Scalia on abortion and suicide. 3) Teachers who have sex withboys. 4) Our creepy genetic experiment on dogs. 5) The pope's anti-gay tendencies. 6) Does Alito treat women like girls? 7) Bill Bennett's racial determinism. 8) The mainstreaming of anal sex.

Hey Guys,
I am a long time lurker, first time poster.
I havent exactly followed the day to day development of Warzone 2100 and I have some general questions...
1. What is the General Health of the project itself? is it still under some form of active development? I know 3.2.1 is the latest release and it did not come out all that too long ago (about 4 months)
2. there was a modding question here, but I noticed that some mods are updated or might be in the process of updating.
3. how playable is the campaign in 3.2 I know that you guys added mission timers in 3.1 roundabouts, and I generally have no problem with them, but is there some easy way to disable them? or do I have to use possibly buggy cheat codes?
Thats about it for now, I might add more as I think of them and assuming this thread doesnt get removed or I get banned (not that I aim to do this mind you)
Thank you all for any answers.

BASKETBALL: Quellhorst signs with IPFW
With a nickname like the "Mastodons," it's tough to go wrong.
Morgan Quellhorst knew that much as a freshman.
Quellhorst, a senior at Wapakoneta High School, signed her national letter of intent to play college basketball at Indiana University-Purdue University at Fort Wayne on Monday at Wapakoneta High School, honoring a verbal commitment she made as a sophomore.
"Freshman year, we went there for volleyball and we watched one of their games," Quellhorst said Monday. "And it was just so cool. It was big, and they had the Mastodon, and it was different."
The 6-foot-4 Quellhorst was courted by a host of schools, including Bowling Green State University, but knew all along IPFW was the place for her.
"[I decided] the day after he said 'Call me'," Quellhorst said of IPFW head coach Chris Paul. "The day after I visited I called and said, 'I would love to play for you.'"
Quellhorst averaged 10.6 points and 9.0 rebounds per game as a junior for Wapak, despite missing several games with a concussion. She shot 68 percent from the floor and is a career 60-percent field goal shooter.
Defensively she had 44 blocked shots as a sophomore and 32 in her injury-shortened junior season.
"When we began coaching her as a freshman, she was pretty raw with talent," Wapak coach Rusty Allen said. "But she's the type of kid who's willing to learn, willing to try some things you're asking her to do. I think she still has a lot of room to grow. I'm excited to see what they can do at the next step with her."
At IPFW, she will get to pick the brain of former Purdue standout Kip Jones, the Mastodons' assistant coach in charge of the post players.
"I'm excited about getting to work with Kip," Quellhorst said.
"There's a guy who can dedicate an entire practice just to Morgan," Allen said. "That's a huge advantage to Morgan."
Quellhorst does not expect to start right away. But Allen said IPFW's current situation makes it a good fit for her.
"A group of girls and I just went up there yesterday and watched [Wapak grad] Heidi [Schlegel] play, because they happened to be playing Youngstown State yesterday," he said. "Immediately upon watching them, I realized they don't have a post presence really right now. They're very guard-oriented. So I think for a team at that level that's looking for a post player, Morgan definitely fits that bill."
Quellhorst plans to major in Visual Communication and Design.

Hack! Snort! Groan.
I think we should replace the spirits and traditional monsters who are referenced in scary stories with the change-of-season virus. It's much more terrifying.
On Sunday, I thought I was just about free of the festering fingertips of whatever cold had me in its grip.
But when I spent 19 hours on Tuesday unconscious, or wishing I was unconscious, I had my doubts regarding recovery.
I've tried to reason with the bug. I've weakly pointed toward unfinished projects, unmailed items, and important dates on the calendar, but it hasn't made much of a difference.
This morning I made noises like the Tasmanian Devil as my body tried to clear my lungs and air passage. Instead of being saddened by this new state of phlegminess, I was encouraged. If it's finally in my chest, it means my body might actually be purging it from the system instead of letting it hide behind my kidney or whatever spot it's been lurking the last few months (where you always feel like you're about to get sick, then don't).
Last night (after washing my hands, not wanting to transmit my germs to unsuspecting folk), I was feeling well enough to start working on a set of undead nutcrackers for my upcoming show. They still need a final layer of paint for their skin tone, and varnish...and Lysol...but at least something was getting done. I have a show next weekend: The Bazaar of the Bizarre on Oct 23rd. I don't think I'll be able to make the price of my table back by selling freezies and autographs, so I've got to get working on items.
And today? Well, I am going to try my best to get to the post office, and to the store to get supplies for my Halloween projects. So much to do, so little time.
By the way, am I the only person in the world who gains weight when they get sick? You'd think my diet of crackers, toast and soup wouldn't add on the pounds but man...
Hope this virus vacates soon
Hope this virus vacates soon so you can get back to your undead self! Good luck G ...
Those are some really awesome
Those are some really awesome nutcrackers!! I've never seen anything like them before!
Hope you get better soon!
Ah, quit yer bitchin'. And
Ah, quit yer bitchin'. And get well soon.
You and my son! Just when I
You and my son! Just when I thought he was getting over coughing 15 hours a day he is now coughing 24 hours a day, he feels horrible but has to get up every morning and go to school. Every year when it is time for fall he gets this mess. We don't get to enjoy the month of October like we should for him being snotty and hacking. Hope you feel better soon, but probably won't until sometime in November. That seems to be when he finally levels off from allergies and we get to start worrying about the flu. Try and have a good day!
Urgh. . .
Soooo sorry you still feel like crap, but that sick Ghoul Friday drawing had me laughing out loud!!
Get well soon
If all else fails, old Star Trek re-runs always work for me. :)

Proposed changes in Wildlife Department regulations in the works
Tuesday night, I headed out to the Kiamichi Technology Center for the public comment meeting concerning proposed changes in Wildlife Department regulations. The two main changes that I am interested in deal with baiting on wildlife management areas and the expanding of bear season.The Wildlife Department is looking at extending bear archery from Oct.1 to the third Sunday in October. This could be anywhere from 15 days to 21 days depending on what day the first falls. Also proposed is a week-long primitive arms bear season that coincides with deer primitive arms season. There will be a 20 bear quota during the primitive arms season if passed.These are changes that I believe are needed to help control the bear population, and also give everyone a better opportunity to take a bear. Joe Hemphill of the Wildlife Department expects no more than 50 bears to be taken if these changes happen.Now, the proposal that I have a problem with is the one that will make it unlawful to bait in the WMAs. There was a fair amount of discussion over this issue, including several trappers who use bait for there traplines along with deer hunters. Hemphill said that he had checked the online comments earlier in the day, and said that there were about 200 comments and most of them were against the change.If that is true, we will see if the Wildlife Department public hearings are actually used to make decisions or just a formality. I dealt with the forest department in the past, and, from my experience, public hearings are just for show. I hope these are not the same.One interesting thing I learned was the reason for the proposed changes dealing with baiting in WMAs. Apparently there were some conflicts in some WMAs out west that ended in fights over hunters hanging stands over somebody else's corn. Now, I don't like the idea of everyone being punished over a few inconsiderate (and down right dumb) individuals. That is just not right. (You know what Ron White says, "You can't fix stupid.")Please go to the Wildlife Department's website and post your online comments on the proposed changes by Friday. It also would not hurt to talk to our state representatives, and let them know how we feel about the proposed changes.— — —E-mail questions or comments to email@example.com.

M9 Interviews One Of The Best S60 Themer, Longhairsteff

Longhairsteff made himself a name in 2009. He created some of the best S60 themes out there & lately fabulous SE themes too. If any of you or your friends have S60 3rd Ed phones but do not know his themes yet, check his gallery now, you'll find plenty of treasure there!
So who is this long-hair Steff? He is an M9er who is always very friendly, never failed to create WOW in people's face with his themes and someone who never failed to make people laugh with his humor showed in his postings/comments. (IMG:http://www.emoticons.free.fr/smileys/Emotion-Love/love8.gif) Today, we are grateful for the opportunity to sit down & chat to him. Ready? Let's gooooooooooooooooooo!
Hey Steff, for those who aren't familiar, can you please give us a bit of background about yourself?
My name is Stefan also called as Steff among friends. Have 2 kids (boy, 12 and girl, 4). The boy lives with me and the girl is with me on 2 weekends/month and i work as a truck driver (IMG:style_emoticons/default/weightlift.gif) . I live in Lidköping / Sweden in a 3 room apartment.
Many of us already know that you picked the username Longhairsteff because your name is Steff and you had very long hair back then. Why cut them short now?
Well, I had long hair for about 15 years and felt it was time for a change. And it has nothing to do with that and I am getting old and the hair becomes thinner (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Humn, hair getting thinner ... I hope it's no where near Mr Homer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/haha.gif) So you joined M9 back in Nov '06. How did you discover us?
Before my Nokia n82 i had a Sony Ericsson K750i and wanted themes for that phone and it was during that time I found mobile9.
Ooooooo, so SE was the matchmaker. (IMG:http://www.emoticons.free.fr/smileys/Emotion-Love/love6.gif)
One and half year later you started to create your own theme. Vista Lightning was created with our online theme creator? When and how did you move on to use Carbide UI?
Yes, I did that theme with an online theme creator. I tried it a few times and then I was looking if there was a Nokia theme creator software to download (as for SE phones) and I found the monster Carbide ui.
I see! Glad you found the monster. I'm sure you won't be able to fully show your skills if you chose to stick to online theme creator back then.
When you start making S60 themes, is there anyone inside or outside M9 whom work your admire & find them particularly inspiring?
Yes, allfa was an inspiration. Then I discovered others like Pizero, Ivanov, Babi, Rugge, Belial etc. But the themers I admire most was the SE themers like Zjurina, Sedma, Jasnasto, Dr.Megabyte, rjdsouza etc. I could go on forever. I thought they had awesome bars and highlights.
You changed from virtually unknown to a hugely popular themer, participate in theming competitions and won 14 trophies (8 golds, 2 silvers, 4 bronzes), being awarded the Certified Themer ... ALL IN 2009! OMG, that is super impressive! Tell us about how this year has been for you.
Ya, that's crazy!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wow.gif) This year has been so great. But it's all thanks to you guys and girls here on Mobile9. Without all those lovely comments and feedback i wouldn't come this far. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif)
Lots of themers are waiting to see if you drop hints on how you create so many stunning themes. Want to walk us through how you normally create a theme? Is there one particular element in S60 themes you put the most time & effort in?
What I value most is the analog clock. There is the wallpaper, clock and the icons. This three things takes most of my time. I usually starts with the wallpaper and go from there but if I have a good clock or icons i can start with one of them too.
Your advice for those who want to achieve similar success in S60 theming?
Join STC or TMC and get feedback and suggestions. Not only on your theme, but the feedback of others to. Read and watch previous TMC. I spent hours doing that. It's a huge source of inspiration.
Really glad to hear that competitions we host has helped you to make better themes. It does seem you are addicted to it. You recently started participate in TMC with SE themes. You are slowly moving to the dark SE side? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil2.gif)
No, I am a Nokia themer and I have a lot left to learn. My next step is to make a theme so any s60 device can use my theme and that a huge step.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I made a few SE themes just for fun and I thought it was very hard to. It's very important with details and pixels here and there. So I will not move to the dark side. Maybe visit a couple of times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/torch.gif)
Can you list 3 of your personal favourite themes? And why?
It's hard to explain why but for this three I was very pleased with the outcome.
Atas autumn
m9 Mascot
Besides theming, what else do you enjoy doing in your free time? I see that you listed M9 as one of your interest in your profile ... M9 a significant part of you?
Well, this year has been a year of theming and much m9. I spend a lot of time here so I guess it's a significant part of me.
On my spare time? Besides that it's a lot of cleaning, washing dishes, doing laundry and make dinner. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yawn.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/surrender.gif) .. I spend time with my kids and friends, hiking in the mountains once a year, go to concerts(only metal) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/punk.gif) , watch movies and drinking beers with friends sometimes.
Aha, cleaning, washing, laundy. Too bad our Cube can't do any of those, else I can send her to help you out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Alright, we better let you go now. Thank you for your time, Steff! Anything you'd like to add?
Just wanna say thanks to all admin who have done a great job with mobile9 and all members and friends here. Big thanks for this inteview AW! I'm really honored.

Meet the Latest Quiet Customer – Nasty Gal, Featured in Forbes
This story appears in the July 16, 2012 issue of Forbes Magazine.
By Victoria Barret
Ten young women dressed in a catwalk-ready mix of denim fringe vests, short shorts, neon sheer tops and 5-inch platform boots are clustered in a downtown Los Angeles conference room on a recent morning. They take turns doing introductions in between bites of Starbucks pastries. "I am superstoked to be here and am definitely a Nasty Gal," says Kelly, a clinical psychiatrist. A recent USC grad chimes in: "I love what Nasty Gal has done for me."
Which is nothing compared with what Nasty Gal has done for 28-year-old founder Sophia Amoruso. In four years her spunky retail fashion site has streaked across the Web, pushing new ways to sell trendy but inexpensive clothing. The company is on its way to quadrupling sales this year to $128 million, racking up gross margins of more than 60%, up there with retail's most profitable ventures. Nasty Gal has done this with very little advertising and nearly no discounting in an industry forced to succumb to daily dealmaking. Instead, Amoruso has built a brand on the backs of Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook—and translated "likes" into sales.
Amoruso is slumped in a chair at the end of the table in a fitted black chiffon dress paired with chunky, white lace-up shoes and bright pink lipstick. The girls in the room are hanging on her every gesture. Her trajectory is a fashion girl's dream come true, but her story is largely unknown outside her fan base. For all of Nasty Gal's constant online conversations with customers—the company updates its social network pages five times a day and aims to "get dressed" with them every morning—Amoruso is notably quiet, even shy. "Do you guys work out?" she inquires near the end of the session. Heads bob in agreement before a flurry of passionate pleas imploring her to take on the current athletic apparel giant Lululemon.
This is Nasty Gal's first real focus group, prompted by the upcoming launch of a line Amoruso designed herself. She's stunned to hear shoppers parrot what she's tried to infuse into ripped halter tops and chain mail cutoff shorts: "empowering and fierce," "sexy just for me." After the group leaves she muses, "It's as if they read my mind. I never use those words publicly, but I am always thinking them."
Amoruso has bucked fashion trends not so much with the styles she sells (which can be found elsewhere, often at lower prices) but in the machine she's built to sell them. Nasty Gal buys only limited runs so as not to get stuck with stuff that won't move. It sells 93% of its inventory at full price in an industry that usually marks down a third of all styles. Amoruso refuses to do even the standard gimmicky marketing plays, such as discounts for friend referrals.
She hasn't had to. Nasty Gal has the sticky online metrics of a fashion magazine. A quarter of its 250,000 customers visit the site once a day for at least seven minutes. The top 10% visit the site more than 100 times a month. One focus group girl admits she refreshes the site "every 20 minutes." They aren't always buying, of course, and that means Nasty Gal's conversion rate (1%) is lower than a typical retailer's. But because it's in front of its customers so frequently it has a stunningly loyal group. Just over half of Nasty Gal sales come from 20% of its shoppers. This means there's room to grab lots more shoppers—hence the Nasty Gal label debuting in September.
Her success springs from a ludicrously simple premise. Says Amoruso: "My philosophy is that you sell things for more than you bought them." Now she's being courted by several of Silicon Valley's top venture capital firms and Mark Zuckerberg's wealth managers. She raised $9 million earlier this year from Index Ventures, giving away just a sliver of equity, which instantly made Nasty Gal worth $130 million on paper. And the valuations being discussed now for an upcoming round of fundraising push her even higher.
"I'VE NEVER SEEN someone work for a salary," says Amoruso. Entrepreneurial blood courses through her Greek-American family. Her grandfathers ran a motel and a piano shop. Her father sold mortgage loans; her mother sold houses. Sophia started buying books on startups at age 9 and was "president" of her street's lemonade-and-abalone craft stand in Sacramento in the mid-1990s. But her charmed suburban life took a hit when Amoruso was 10 and both her parents lost their jobs. She remembers their cutting up credit cards to fill a nearly full jar of others at a credit office. Then they pulled her out of Catholic school to save money.
Soon her dad had her dangling out of his Jeep Cherokee at 6 a.m. delivering newspapers. It wasn't just the money she made that stuck with her. At age 15, while making sandwiches at a Subway shop, she obsessively counted out olives as her high-school-dropout co-workers snoozed. Her father's advice: "Show up. Don't stop moving. Sweep the floor even when they don't ask you to."

Now that the Panthers star receiver has gone down there doesn't seem to be one team that is head and shoulders above the others. How do you guys feel the division shakes out. I think the Falcons could surprise even thought Vegas only as them winning 8 games. Carolina will have their defense but offense without a no1 receiver? The Saints do they have a defense? Th Bucs with Winston they won't be a force this year. Very likely the Falcons can win the division with a 9-7 record or 10-6.
Usually rookie head coaches worth a darn can impact a team the first year. I see that with the Falcons and will have growing pains I like our chances vs the rest of the division.My forecast would be:
3.New Orleans
NFC South Division
All things related to the Atlanta Falcons, NFL and pro football related.

Re: NFC South Division
If the Lions were 3-0 without Calvin Johnson last year, I think the Panthers could potentially be just fine without Kelvin Benjamin. It just means the defense will have to pick up the slack and be a top 5 unit.
1. Atlanta
3. Carolina
4. Tampa Bay

Delicious. Enjoyed by all the family. I adjusted the spices a bit . Used one smallish fresh chilli, as my home grown ones are very fiery, and no chilli powder, but upped the paprika to one generous teaspoon, and also added a good teaspoon of cumin powder as well as the seeds, and a bit of fresh thyme because I happened to have some. Served with a generous sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. As others have said, you can adjust the seasonings of this recipe according to your own taste. This worked well for us.

The 2013 BMW M5 will boast a new engine, improved suspension and weight saving advances when it arrives at US BMW Centers in late summer 2012.
The 2013 M5 gets a new 4.4-liter, direct-injected, twin scroll, twin-turbocharged V8 (which BMW calls the S63Tu), a modified version of the power plant found in the X6 M and X5 M. This incarnation churns out 560-hp and 502 pound-feet of torque, with the maximum available between 1500 and 5750 rpm. Gone is the 500-horsepower V10 used in the 2010 M5.
A choice of transmissions is available: a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic with manual shifting mode. The latter replaces the previous generation's SMG sequential automated manual gearbox. The new powertrain, combined with weight savings and an automatic start/stop feature, help to achieve what BMW claims is an increased fuel efficiency of 30 percent. (The 2010 M5 is rated by the EPA at an abysmal 11 mpg City, 17 mpg Highway, or 13 mpg Combined.)
Weight is reduced on the 2013 M5 via new aluminum components and by bolting the rear suspension directly to the chassis, which in the previous generation was linked by bulky rubber subframe bushings. That said, the M5's curb weight is a beefy 4300 pounds, nearly 100 pounds heavier than a standard 5 Series with similar features. And unlike the standard 5 Series, the M5 loses the electric steering in favor of hydraulic, giving the driver a more connected feeling to the road.
Track-day junkies will like the cockpit-adjustable shocks and iron-and-aluminum brake rotors with heavier-duty six-piston calipers, riding inside 18- or 19-inch wheels. All in all, the M5 seems well-suited to take on the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Cadillac CTS-V.
Inside, the 2013 BMW M5 is teeming with software and in-car connectivity. Purists may balk at BMW's high-tech solution for letting drivers hear the growl of their V8 engines without irking passersby: A digital signal processor translates data from the engine management system and reproduces engine noises through the car's six-speaker audio system. Translation? A fake engine sound coming through your radio. Still, if you're paying upwards of $100k for a high-performance sedan, you'd better hear something.
The 2013 BMW M5 is expected in dealerships by late summer. We won't know prices until it goes on sale, but we're guessing it will start around $92,000.

The Committee on Teaching and Scholarship invites you to thoughtfully consider the accomplishments of your colleagues and nominated someone. Nominations are reviewed by the Committee on Teaching and Scholarship and the Faculty Development Fund committee.
The criteria and nomination processes are listed on the downloadable documents. Members of the Committee on Teaching and Scholarship will serve on the reviewing committee and look forward to receiving nominations for the four awards by December 1, 2017.
Awards will be announced at the annual Scholars' Reception on March 16th. These awards are to provide recognition for four faculty members annually.
The selection process for Professor of the Year will continue to be administered by the Rank and Tenure Committee.

PLEASANTON — A 1,600-pound commercial battery flipped over in a delivery truck mid-transit late Friday afternoon, spilling battery acid onto the roadway, fire personnel said.
At approximately 4:38 p.m., Livermore-Pleasanton firefighters responded to Wyoming and Washington streets where the crew found the flipped battery in the delivery truck and the acid leak. Battalion Chief Joe Testa said authorities believe the battery was not properly secured before it was transported, and when the delivery truck turned a corner, it caused the battery to shift.
Firefighters created a dam to prevent the acid from running into the storm drain and requested the hazardous materials unit to respond to the scene.
Firefighters wearing chemical-resistant splash suits, rubber boots and gloves were able to contain the leak to the truck and the nearby gutter.
Wyoming Street was closed between Washington Street and Utah Street for about 45 minutes while fire crews cleared and cleaned the area.
A private hazardous materials clean-up contractor from Oakland was requested by the owners of the truck to complete the clean up and handle the disposal. Fire crews remained on scene until their arrival at 7 p.m.
Two people were exposed to the acid but were able to clean themselves and not suffer any burns.
No injuries were reported, and there was never any threat to the public, according to the department.
No orders for evacuation or shelter in-place were given.

After installing the hypertech max energy programmer I did notice an increase in power and have increased in fuel economy by 2 to 3 miles per gallon. I changed the shift firmness 25% and this made a big difference. Overall, it's good, but not great in increasing power. I wish Hypertech would give you more instructions on what level to increase or decrease shift points for towing and non-towing.

My Review
Mar 20, 2014
Have this in the oven, baking now. I used Greek pineapple yogurt with small bits of pineapple in it, to which I added some chopped fresh cranberries. Skipped the lemon juice and used an eighth of a teaspoon of almond flavoring and a half teaspoon of vanilla. The batter tasted delicious, and the house smells heavenly. Will make an icing from confectioner's sugar and milk to top it off when it cools. What an easy recipe and lovely welcome to spring!
Aug 13, 2013
I've made this bread several times. It's so easy to change around. Sometimes I use vanilla yogurt add almond extract to personal taste and add one cup blueberries. Another is, try orange flavoring with peach. We use this bread in our strawberry shortcake desert.
Dec 9, 2012
This is a very moist bread, it is one of our favorites
Mar 21, 2010
Added 1 tsp lemon extract to make it more flavorable. It's also good with chopped walnuts. I'm going to try it with bluberry yogurt and vanilla extract too!
Mar 10, 2010
Not near enough lemon flavor, needs lemon extract, or zest.........something.

Brody School of Medicine nurse named to Great 100
(Sept. 7, 2007)
— An East Carolina University nurse has earned the "Great 100 Nurse" designation for North Carolina.
Ruth Vandiford, nurse manager for the Department of Family Medicine at the Brody School of Medicine, has been recognized for her achievements in the field of nursing by The Great 100, a statewide grassroots peer organization. Each year the group recognizes registered nurses who demonstrate excellence in practice and commitment to their profession. Vandiford of Greenville will be honored at an Oct. 6 gala in Greensboro.
Vandiford served 20 years in the Department of Family Medicine at the Brody School of Medicine, beginning in 1986 as a staff nurse and more recently as nurse manager. She retired Sept. 1, 2006.
Vandiford received her bachelor's of science degree in social work from ECU in 1974 and an associate's degree in nursing from Pitt Community College in 1986.
"Her education in social work and nursing has given her a unique knowledge base, making her an asset to the school, her colleagues and the patients under her care," said Dr. Robert Newman, clinical associate professor in the ECU Family Medicine Center. "She is a strong and relentless advocate for all patients and serves as an excellent role model for nurses. Ruth especially enjoys her role as mentor and teacher and has served in that capacity for countless medical residents, nurses and other staff over the years."
Vandiford also was honored with the 2006 Nurse of the Year Excellence in Health Care Award at the Brody School of Medicine.
"It has been a wonderful experience being a nurse with the ECU Brody School of Medicine and participating in the teaching of the family medicine residents and nursing staff," Vandiford said. "The most rewarding part of my work over the years has been the care of the family medicine patients. I miss the interaction with patients since retiring."
Although retired, Vandiford traveled to the Dominican Republic in March with a team of ECU physicians and nurses who provided care for people without access to health care. Some traveled into remote villages while others worked at a clinic providing gynecological surgery and biopsies. The medical team finances its own expenses and goes biannually to the country to provide health care.

In this article, I will show you how to use jQuery to detect External and Internal Links in a HTML Web Page created using Expression Web. Once again, I would like to mention Suprotim's eBook '51 Recipes using jQuery and ASP.NET Controls' which has been very helpful and helped me learn how to use jQuery in my ASP.NET web pages.
Sometime back, I had written on Using jQuery to Open External Links in a New Window - Expression Web and Using jQuery UI Datepicker in a Web Page - Expression Web. In this article, we will adopt a different approach of identifying external links by using the jQuery filter function
Launch Expression Web and create a new HTML Page (File > New or click on the New Document icon on Standard toolbar and choose HTML). Add the jQuery library CDN link in the <head> element of the page.
Now a link has various states (visited, hover, active etc). We can define CSS pseudo class selectors based on the state of the link. However for simplicity sake, let's just define one common css, as shown below:
Now add a couple of external as well as internal hyperlinks to the page. For this example, all the url's beginning with https://www.dotnetcurry.com will be internal hyperlinks
It's now time to add some jQuery code to detect external and internal links on the page. Add the following jQuery code in the <head> tag
In the code show above, we are using this.href.match(/^mailto\:/) so that we do not select any mailto: links. We are also comparing the location.hostname (in our case dotnetcurry) against the link's hostname using this.hostname != location.hostname. This code is wrapped inside the jQuery filter function which returns only those elements which pass the code inside the function, in our case, all links that did not match the hostname property of the site. We finally take this group of matched elements and apply the CSS class (.external) we created above, using the jQuery addClass()
The output is as shown below:
As you can observe, all external links are red in color with a dotted border. You can see a Live Demo over here
You can also download the entire source code over here.

A Year in Pictures
It's been a year! One year ago today, the first section of the High Line opened to the public. The High Line's first year as a public park has been extraordinary, with more than two million visitors from New York and around the world coming to see and experience the park. To reflect upon our first year, we wanted to share with you our favorite photographs.
Celebration Tonight
Please join us tonight for a special talk and reception in the Chelsea Market Passage on the High Line. Peter Mullan, our Vice President of Planning & Design, will present and discuss plans for Section 2. Immediately following Peter's talk, we will host a reception with Appalachian stringband music by Stephanie Coleman, Eamon O'Leary, and Cleek Schrey, and refreshments available from People's Pops. Festivities begin at 6:30 PM. Visit our Events Calendar to learn more.

We're also offering promotions on items in our Web Shop. Get a code for 50% discount, or win an umbrella by tweeting us your favorite memory with the hash-tag, #highlinebirthday.
Rail Yards ULURP Vote
Our first anniversary is enough cause to celebrate, but today also brings good news on our effort to preserve the High Line at the West Side Rail Yards. We are pleased to announce that the City Planning Commission led by Chair Amanda Burden today voted to approve the City's application to allow it to acquire the High Line at the rail yards.
While there is still much to be done to guarantee the High Line's future at the rail yards, creating the option for the City to acquire this section is a major, positive step toward our ultimate goal: full preservation of the High Line north of 30th Street, including the 10th Avenue Spur, and completion of the High Line all the way to 34th Street.
Today's vote paves the way for the final vote at the City Council. We would like to thank Mayor Michael Bloomberg, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, City Planning Chair Amanda Burden and our supporters who have joined us in advocating for the High Line at the rail yards, including Congressman Jerold Nadler, State Senator Tom Duane, Assembly Member Richard Gottfried, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, and Community Board 4. We look forward to seeing everyone at the City Council in the coming weeks to advocate for the full preservation of this iconic part of New York's industrial history.
Friends of the High Line is grateful to The New York Community Trust — LuEsther T. Mertz Advised Fund and the Greenacre Foundation for their dedicated support to our rail yards advocacy and public programming this year.
