3000 S. Carrollton Ave., New Orleans, La., 504.866.3683
The project to modernize Ye Olde College Inn (est. 1933) began in earnest right after Hurricane Katrina, when current owner John Blancher moved the restaurant into a non-descript building across the parking lot from what is now Rock 'n' Bowl, Blancher's music club/bowling alley. The restaurant's building is no longer non-descript, as it's festooned with New Orleans sports memorabilia and a reliably colorful array of regulars gathered around the horseshoe bar. The project has also gone on to include a nearby herb and vegetable garden as well as the Straight Stick Ranch, Rock 'n' Bowl's farm-to-table burger canteen. All of the activity is an example of how a New Orleans neighborhood institution can modernize without running afoul of local tradition. At Ye Olde, that means the menu, while shrunken, includes fine po-boys and turkey-andouille gumbo alongside sprout salad outfitted with local Chappapeela Farms duck pastrami and excellent fried green tomatoes with shrimp remoulade.
Open: Dinner Tu-Sa. Parking: Free lot.
Entrée prices: $12-$36. Reservations: Yes.
Standout dishes: Wedge salad, shrimp remoulade, Gulf fish in roasted corn sauce, hamburger steak

January 08, 2015
I just finished reading the book I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai, the young Pakistani teen-ager who survived being shot in the head by the Taliban. As you all know, because she was an advocate for the education rights of girls in Pakistan, the Taliban sought to silence her. Instead, she not only survived gunshots to her head, but also blossomed into a world-famous crusader for the rights of children. This year she was the youngest person ever to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
How fortunate that most of us English teachers live in peaceful countries where all children are entitled to an education. Even though the countries in which we are dispersed may differ in varying degrees from Pakistan, I cling to the words Malala used to conclude her speech at the United Nations last year:
One child, one teacher, one pen and book can change the world.This simple yet profound sentence pierced my heart. Although we, as teachers, have no way of knowing when or where a future Malala, Nelson Mandela, Ken Takakura, Marie Curie, Ichiro Suzuki, Aung San Suu Kyi, Elie Wiesel, Julio Iglesias, Sophia Loren, Gabriel García Márquez or Desmond Tutu may be sitting before us in one of our English classes, we should treat all our students, young and seasoned, inquisitive and uninterested, diligent and lazy, wise and naive, with respect and admiration. There may be (most likely is) a student within the confines of our classrooms who will blossom and grow to make great contributions not only to his or her own country, but also to the rest of the world. The fact that, in part, because of our tutelage, this child will be able to speak English as an adult may well be the catalyst to boost the circumference of his or her impact and boundless influence in the future. We may see a glimmer of their greatness in their youth, or it may be concealed from us. Time will tell. Meanwhile, I encourage you to appreciate all the young souls who sit before you. Please look into their eyes and recognize, appreciate and respect that the possibilities from within them are vast, endless and infinite.

Poker is most definitely a money game these days. Whereas some people used to play it for fun and others to compete, these days everyone is looking to improve on their cash haul to see what they can make for themselves. Although you can obviously win at the table, there are other means of making money whilst playing poker. The rakeback is one of them. It is closely linked to the rake, which is essentially the commission taken by a card room to hold the poker game in the first place. However, instead of the card room benefitting, a rakeback goes to the player.

A rakeback is essentially a rebate paid to a player following the rake that is paid to the card room. It is a percentage of the rake figure but is not taken out of the rake. Instead, it is paid by an affiliate or sponsor of some sort. Players can gain rakebacks in real casinos and poker rooms or those in which they play online, depending on the arrangement they have with affiliates. These payments are made in a number of ways and this largely depends on the way in which the arrangement with individual players works.
There is an extra dimension to the rakeback though and that is essentially used by the professionals that use the rakeback to not only increase winnings but also to make up for losses. Some poker players do not always win and so may use the rakeback to supplement losses and compensate for them in order to turn the loss into a win. Only skilled professionals are able to do this so be aware of that before you try!

I don't like Windows 8, but without the cash or desire to spring for a Mac and without the technical know-how to use a Linux machine, I've been a little stuck as to what to do when it comes to upgrading my current machine. Why do I need a new laptop, you ask? Well, my current laptop has developed an affinity for knocking over pints of water because it wants a bath.
Yes, it's the laptop making these decisions.
After its first bath, the keyboard got a bit gunky but the mousepad still worked, so I just hooked up an external keyboard and kept going. It was far from ideal, so I soon bought a cheap (very cheap) Windows 8 desktop from HP, and realized within a few days that I hated it.
Hated it.
The hatred intensified when I realized that I had to upgrade every time Microsoft pushed a new version of the OS, or risk having all my apps (because we don't call them programs anymore, and we have to get them through the app store, and by the way, can you give Microsoft your credit card details pls k thx bai) become unusable. Literally unusable. Can't-open-a-PDF unusable.
I looked into rolling back the machine's OS to Windows 7 — which, incidentally, would have run lightning-quick on a machine that slowed Windows 8 to a crawl — but the process was going to be either complicated or expensive, so I've been left with what is essentially a large, expensive paperweight that I occasionally use to print documents. (Though since I've hurt my back, I can't sit at a desk anyways.)
In the midst of all this, my laptop took another bath and the touchpad stopped working. Now, in order to use my Toshiba laptop, I had to plug in an external mouse and an external keyboard.
I've been making do with my Windows 7 laptop and external peripherals, but the other day I hit my limit. I can't stand in one place for long at the moment, and the thought of all the productive time I was losing by not having a laptop that acted like a laptop was enough to make me decide to use part of my tax refund to treat myself to a new, functioning laptop.
At first, I had decided to get a larger Windows laptop — there are still version 7 operating systems that come pre-installed — but a Twitter follower pointed out that Microsoft's support for Windows 7 would end in 8 months (extended support will continue till 2020, but that won't include security updates or other features that would keep the computer running smoothly).
All of which brought me to seriously consider a Google Chromebook.
What's a Chromebook, you ask? It's an ultra-thin, ultra-light, ultra-lean and ultra-cheap laptop that runs on an operating system based on Google's Chrome browser. Most of the entry-level Chromebooks cost between $200-$300, and the intention is for them to be used while online. (There are some options for working off-line, as well.) They won't play video games, mine doesn't run Java, and you can only access Google Hangouts, not Skype. (Note: I've also noticed that they don't use the now-familiar "pinch" motion to zoom in or out, and there are some keyboard changes that took me off-guard, but none of those have been dealbreakers.)
In the past, I had dismissed Chromebooks because the OS won't run a lot of the software I've liked to use. There aren't alternatives for Photoshop or InDesign, there isn't a Final Draft (scriptwriting) alternative, and there's not an option for Microsoft Office. But this time around, with light Windows 7 laptops clocking in at over $500 and significant security support for the OS ending soon, and more Google and web-based apps available every day, I had to ask myself the serious question: could I compromise on a few comparatively insignificant features if it meant a small, light, cheap laptop that I could write on while lying in bed?
After a few hours of really thinking about it, I was pretty sure that I could.
So far I've been using my Chromebook for a little under a day and with the exception of a disappearing-mouse issue that happened the first two times I booted it up (which takes 7 seconds), it's been the best technology purchase I've made in quite a while. At $250, the Samsung Chromebook has a keyboard I can type on with fast accuracy. Google Docs (Google's version of Microsoft Word) is easy to use and offers a much smoother experience than I've had using it through Chrome on a Windows machine. The speakers on the Samsung Chromebook, compared to my old Toshiba, are a revelation. It features a webcam and microphone, the battery is rated to last over six hours, and since almost everything can be accessed via a web browser these days, I even have options for screenwriting software that I can later import through Final Draft on my main machine.
If you're into graphics, video games or heavy video processing, Chromebooks probably aren't the way to go, and I might not recommend it as a primary machine just yet – if only because of the software limitations. But for a cheap secondary laptop that lets you travel and type, particularly for those without wads of cash to spend on an ultra-light laptop, I don't think I know of a better computer.
Have you tried a Chromebook? If so, what's your experience been like? If not – go to your local tech retailer and check one out. You might be surprised!
Nov. 8, 2014
Since publishing this blog, a plug-in/add-on for Google Docs has come in that supposedly does screenplay formatting. I only tried writing a few lines with it but it was fairly cumbersome.
Also since original publication, I've tried getting hold of a few games via Steam, and haven't been able to figure out whether the Linux version would work on the Chromebook. Granted, I haven't put much time into it. But if anybody has looked into this at all…?

By Daniel Weeks
When Massachusetts-based kSARIA Corp. set out to develop a fiber-optic cable repair tool for the Navy, it did not petition the Pentagon for funding or support. Instead, as The Boston Globe recently reported, it followed a far more lucrative path by going to the newest authority on military spending: members of Congress.
In a story that is all-too familiar in the days of trillion-dollar deficits and multimillion-dollar campaigns, kSARIA Corp. hired a former congressional staffer to lobby on its behalf and began making campaign donations to relevant members of Congress. The lobbyist, Bill McCann, had served as chief of staff to retired Representative Marty Meehan of Lowell, when kSARIA's first request for funds was made.
The result for the little contractor that could: $3.5 million in congressional handouts over the past few years, and another $2.5 million pending in the latest defense appropriations bill – all for a tool the Navy did not request and that is still in prototype form. When asked for comment, a spokesman for Representative Niki Tsongas, the Lowell Democrat who inserted the latest requests on kSARIA's behalf, called the funding justified in the interest of "creating and retaining jobs.''
At $6 million from taxpayers to keep 25 people at work, it is little wonder that public confidence in the government's ability to responsibly steward our public funds is low. But $6 million only begins to scratch the surface. According to the watchdog group Citizens Against Government Waste, taxpayers spent $271 billion on earmarks – appropriations inserted directly by members of Congress and not subject to standard budgetary review – between 1991-2008.
A report by Americans for Campaign Reform found that the top 10 recipients of defense industry earmarks in 2008 contributed an average of $2.7 million each to federal candidates from 2003-2008. In return for their investment, the defense contractors received an average of $88 million in taxpayer-funded earmarks, a payoff rate of 1,300 percent. And in a now-familiar pattern, the largest single earmark appropriation in 2008 – $588 million for the production of naval submarines – was specifically rejected by the Navy itself.
But the real story goes deeper still. At issue in the case of kSARIA Corp., and the estimated 11,286 other earmarks adopted in 2009, is the way we fund campaigns.
Members of Congress rely on millions of dollars in private contributions to fund their never-ending bids for reelection. Private companies and other interest groups, keen to advance their bottom line by helping to write government regulation, willingly meet the demands of incumbents for campaign cash. Free market principles of fairness, competition, and accountability are routinely compromised for the benefit of special interests, while taxpayers foot the bill.
Our system is not so much broken as it is fixed. So long as lawmakers in Congress must spend a third of their time or more raising private campaign funds, they will be trapped in a cloud of suspicion and prone to conflicts of interest that undermine their ability to meet the considerable challenges facing the country today.
To address this mounting concern, 120 members of the House and Senate have cosponsored new legislation for citizens-funded elections. The Fair Elections Now Act would replace large donations from wealthy individuals and groups with broad-based small donations and matching public funds.
Candidates seeking to participate in the voluntary program would be required to collect at least 1,500 checks of $100 or less from their constituents; once qualified, they would receive a public match on every small donation they raise from their home state, up to a competitive threshold in campaign funds.
Although a radical departure from current campaign practice, citizen-funded elections is hardly a novel idea. President Theodore Roosevelt first pitched the concept in 1906 and seven states from Arizona to Maine have responded to Roosevelt's call. In a time of soaring budget deficits and falling public faith in the integrity of government, Congress would do well to follow suit.

text: The British GP was the first full GP weekend without The Doctor present to charm the television with his media moxie (did we mention his crash was "worth" $8 million?), and as such we get our first glimpse into what the repercussions are for MotoGP with Rossi out of commission. Checking TV viewership, MotoGP's stop at Silverstone saw a 20% decline in total viewership when compared to the last two GP's at Jerez and Le Mans. The result is that advertisers in some markets are asking the local stations that cover MotoGP to readjust there viewership claims and media rates to account for the loss of audience.

Another thing to consider when choosing accent chairs for your home is choosing the right type of material for your accent chair. You need your chair to be great to look at but you also want it to be functional in its designated room as well as comfortable. If you are choosing an accent chair for a very formal room, you may want to choose an elegant straight back wooded chair where great attention to detail has been placed in the chairs carving. If you need a chair thats functional but also flexible microfiber may be a good material to choose.
Your body should be able to fit perfectly on the chair. The backrest should be at least a little higher than your shoulder so it also supports your shoulder when you lean back. Another thing to take into consideration is if the chair has features to control or change the height of the chair to fit the length of your leg from your knees to your feet. A chair with a roller is advantageous because it allows you to move around your desk when you need to move away to get something from behind you. Another advantage that you should consider in picking the right chair is being able to move your chair back or no t having to twist your body when you need to get something behind or beside you.
The final thing you want to think about when choosing the perfect accent chairs for your home is placement. Where will you be placing your new chair? You want to make sure your chair makes the room feel charming and inviting. Take a good look at your room and place your accent chair in an area where it is not overcrowding the room but adding to the overall decor.

|Herman Chernoff was born in New York City on 1 July 1923. He went to school there and later received the B.S. degree from the City College of New York in 1943, majoring in mathematics with a minor in physics. For a year and a half, he worked as a junior physicist with the U.S. Navy, before joining Brown University for graduate work in applied mathematics. His studies were interrupted by a short period in the U.S. Army, and then his interest in statistics led him to complete his Ph.D. thesis at Columbia University under the supervision of Abraham Wald. At Brown University, Herman met Judy Ullman. They have been married since 1947 and have two daughters, Ellen and Miriam.
Herman worked for the Cowles Commission at the University of Chicago and then spent three years in the Mathematics Department at the University of Illinois before joining the Department of Statistics at Stanford University in 1952, where he remained for 22 years. He moved to M.I.T. in 1974, where he founded the Statistics Center. Since 1985 he has been in the Department of Statistics at Harvard.
Professor Chernoff has been honored for his contributions in many ways. He was President of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and is an elected member of both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences. The book Recent Advances in Statistics published in honor of his 60th birthday in 1983 contained papers in the fields where his influence as a researcher and teacher has been strong: design and sequential analysis, optimization and control, nonparametrics, large sample theory and statistical graphics.

Opus Bank in Irvine, Calif., continues to overhaul its operations.
The $7.3 billion-asset company said in a press release Monday that it had hired Kevin Thompson as its chief financial officer. He succeeded Nicole Carrillo, who resigned but will continue to work with Opus as a consultant.
Thompson, who also joined Opus' executive committee, previously served as CFO at the $4.3 billion-asset Midland States Bancorp in Effingham, Ill.
Carrillo, who joined Opus in January 2011 as its chief accounting officer, had been the CFO since August 2013. She helped manage Opus' April 2014 initial public offering, which raised more than $153 million for the bank and selling shareholders, and a $200 million secondary offering in November 2015.
"We thank Nicole for her years of service, having joined Opus early in the bank's infancy, and we wish her the best," Stephen Gordon, Opus' chairman and CEO, said in the release.
Thompson was at Midland States less than a year. He had joined Midland November 2016 from Zions Bancorp., where he had been senior vice president for corporate financial planning. Jeffrey Ludwig, who had been Midland States' CFO before being promoted to president of its bank, resumed oversight of Thompson's duties.
Thompson "has excelled in leading and developing accounting and finance teams at both large financial institutions and smaller regional banks, and I look forward to his contribution to the continuing maturation of Opus," Gordon said.
Opus also announced that it had named Will Han as deputy CFO. Han will remain the bank's chief accounting officer, a post he has held since 2013.
Opus reported back-to-back quarterly losses in the second half of 2016 before returning to the black in the first quarter of this year. The company in the last year has made a number of strategic hires, has exercised more discipline with expenses and has exited businesses such as technology and health care lending.

Geosoft Adds Virtual Classroom Learning to its Roster of Software Training Services
Toronto, Ontario - Geosoft customers now have access to live, instructor-led software training over the Internet with new Geosoft Virtual Classroom training.
Connecting to the classroom with web conferencing tools, course participants can experience live, interactive training without ever leaving their offices. They can interact with the instructor and share experiences with other participants, while expanding their effectiveness with Geosoft software.
"Virtual Classroom training offers all the benefits of instructor-led training with the convenience of web-based learning," said Lesley Marino, Instructional Designer, Geosoft. "Live training over the web gives participants access to a real instructor, and reduces travel and other associated costs for our clients".
A recent survey polled participants on their first impressions of the course content and usability features. The results were decidedly favourable.
"The virtual training session provided a cost-effective alternative to on-site training by allowing employees from multiple offices to learn and interact together without adding costs for travel and lodging," said Jeremy Haney, Geologist/Geophysicist with AMEC Earth and Environmental. "The remote group was able to share individual experiences and issues they have previously encountered when working with real-world datasets in Oasis montaj while learning from the experiences of others and the insight and expertise of the trainer."
Many of Geosoft's Standard Courses are available via virtual classroom setting, both publicly and privately. A public training course schedule is available online. Private virtual training can also be arranged by contacting your Geosoft Representative or emailing your request to firstname.lastname@example.com.

|When Harry Met Sally
2. So everything at Old Navy is basically free right now. Not really. But 50% off isn't bad. I'm getting a second pair of these leggings. I CANNOT SAY IT LOUDLY ENOUGH: Old Navy has the best leggings in the universe. Do not spend more. Do not. I'm also getting this and 5 of these.
3. I'm so sad and angry about the election that I can't form polite, coherent sentences and talk about it like a compassionate, intelligent, thinking, loving person just yet. I'm in a blind (devastated but somewhat controlled) rage. There is literally no one I won't offend with what I really have to say about all of this, so I'm going to pretty much leave it alone. The one thing I will say about it is that it's changed me. I don't yet know if it's for the better or worse. I felt something snap in my heart at 3am on November 9th when I saw that HRC had conceded. I can remember the exact feeling. There was this little "click" (onomatopoeia?) in my heart and I fell down on my living room floor in a heap and cried harder than I have in probably eight years. It shook something loose in me and I'm not the same version of myself that I was when I stood in line to vote with my mother on the morning of November 8th. In some ways I feel like I have more patience and compassion, in other ways I feel like I LITERALLY can't look at anyone. I'm introvert-ing more than usual. I definitely don't believe in Santa Claus anymore. So-to-speak.
4. Deep breath. Hey. It's the holiday season. That's great. Yesterday I got to teach Thanksgiving Day classes at Healthworks. I freaked out BIG TIME about what exactly to teach, but it ended up being a blast. When I mentioned to a few non-Healthworks friends that I'd be teaching on Thanksgiving they seemed shocked that people would want to go to the gym on a holiday. It got me thinking. I so do not think of Healthworks as a gym. And I REALLY do not think of myself as a fitness instructor. It never occurred to me during my classes yesterday to mention burning enough calories so we could all eat Thanksgiving dinner later and not feel badly about it. It was more about kicking off a holiday doing something we all really love to do. I'm going to keep teaching from that place.
5. What's your favorite holiday movie? I have been watching When Harry Met Sally basically on repeat for the last week. It's not TOTALLY a holiday movie but it kind of is because it ends on New Year's Eve. Actually, there are at least two New Year's Eve scenes and they purchase a Christmas tree at one point. It counts. I'm also into Love Actually. I can't stand White Christmas. I'm sorry. I tried. Meh.
Have a wonderful weekend, all.

5 Things That Made Me Realize I'm Struggling with Internalized Racism
How can I unlearn this toxic lesson when it's so deeply embedded in our everyday lives?
In 18 years of teaching biology, teacher Tim McDaniel has never had a complaint; not a big surprise, since he teaches his 10th grade classes right out of the textbook, approved by the school district and administrators at the school.
That all changed this year, when a group of parents complained about the subject matter he was teaching. First it was promoting a political candidate by showing "An Inconvenient Truth" and asking students to talk about climate change, but his real damning offense was...get ready for it...saying the word "vagina."
As you know, here at xoJane, we pride ourselves on being an all-vagina, all the time zone. Vagina vagina vagina! So this story caught my eye pretty much immediately. (I replied to the suggestion that we cover it with just one word, which was, you guessed it, "VAGINA.")
Mr. McDaniel was only covering the assigned coursework for 10th grade biology, which includes a lesson on the human reproductive tract. Like other teachers around the nation, he's obliged to meet core curriculum standards in order to ensure that his students are provided with the basics of an education so that they can, you know, progress through school and stand a fighting chance of doing well in college and their careers.
The textbook covers human anatomy and the reproductive tract, thus so does Mr. McDaniel, and he makes the class optional, allowing students to decline to attend if they don't feel comfortable1.
In the course of teaching human reproductive anatomy, inevitably, some anatomical terms are going to come up; presumably people are going to be talking about vaginas, vulvae, and penises. Thanks to the woeful state of sexual education in the United States, and especially in conservative states like Idaho, where Mr. McDaniel teaches, many students may not even be aware of the basics of their own anatomy, let alone the anatomy of those born with a different genital configuration.
The purpose of classes like this is both to further a student's education, and to demystify. Reproductive parts aren't scary or alien, and understanding them is pretty important since it's safe to assume that many people will be using them at some point; and even if you're not using them, it's still a good idea to know how the reproductive system works.
But by explaining the biology of the orgasm (in the textbook) and saying VAGINA (ALSO in the textbook), Mr. McDaniel apparently offended the sensibilities of some parents so deeply that they insisted on filing a formal complaint. Now he's being investigated by Idaho's professional standards commission, for teaching what was in the textbook.
The local school district says he's unlikely to be fired over it (gee, how magnanimous), but he may get a formal letter of reprimand, which he'd be required to sign. Such letters stay on your file, become part of your professional evaluations, and can damage your career. Understandably, he's not that enthused about the idea of signing it -- not least because he did absolutely nothing wrong. He taught his students, precisely as he is supposed to do.
His job as a biology teacher is to educate people about biology. Biology inevitably involves talking about reproduction; sexual, asexual, and otherwise. If you're talking about reproduction, you need to talk about the mechanics of how reproduction works, including anatomical specifics. That means you're going to be talking about vaginas, among other things, when you discuss human beings.
And students deserve to hear correct anatomical terms, not euphemisms.
Make no mistake, though, this isn't just about the fact that he used a "naughty word," which is apparently what "vagina" has been reduced to in the thought processes of conservative Americans. It's the fact that he was talking about vaginas at all. No matter how many euphemisms he cloaked it in, it still would have been viewed as unacceptable for him to teach his students about reproductive anatomy, and worse, to talk about orgasms.
Because the only thing worse than admitting that humans aren't Barbies and Kens with smooth plastic expanses between their legs is discussing the fact that for some people, mashing reproductive bits together is actually pretty fun, and there's a fascinating biological explanation for why some people really get off (ha ha) on it. The science behind the orgasm is absolutely a part of biology instruction, or at least it should be, but it's even more appalling than saying some people have vaginas, apparently.
Saying that sex can be fun, as we know, is tantamount to saying people ought to, you know, do it. And sex should be taught as something dirty and gross that people don't discuss or engage in unless they're doing so within the context of a "traditional" marriage with the specific purpose of reproduction in mind. The be-vaginaed amongst us, in particular, should learn at as early an age as possible that what lies between their legs is foul, unpleasant, and corrupted.
Teaching students that a vagina is just a vagina destroys the mystique cultivated by a misogynistic and sex-negative society. And going one step further, to say that sexuality can be enjoyable, is an even worse crime in the eyes of conservatives; it implies that consent, agency, and control should be involved in sexuality, and suggests that sexual encounters, far from being formulaic, hasty transactions, can and should be enjoyable for everyone involved.
In addition to being gross on the grounds of contributing to hateful attitudes about sexuality, this is also troubling, as McDaniel points out, because of what it says about education. This is not the first or the last time a teacher has received complaints for teaching basic instructional material already approved by school authorities. And it's not the first or the last time such complaints have resulted in potentially serious career repercussions.
This is having a chilling effect on teaching across the United States, as educators are reminded that every move is watched, and thanks to the ease of online organizing, it's a snap to get widespread attention for something. On the one hand, this can be great when parents want to, say, call a teacher out on homophobic comments. On the other, it can be awful when parents want to pressure teachers to conform to very narrow ideas of what is "acceptable" in the classroom, imposing religious values on class material.
That's bad news for teachers, who have to look over their shoulders constantly to see if they're pissing parents off with subject matter that should be fairly uncontroversial, like the age of the planet, sexual education, or the history of civil rights. Working under those conditions creates a lot of strain, and drives a lot of great teachers out of the classroom.
Parents who want to opt out of state-approved, basic instructional curricula are more than welcome to do so -- but they shouldn't be allowed to impose their values on others by complaining about it when it comes up in class. Nor should they be allowed to dictate the very shape of that curricula by pressuring officials to fundamentally change standards, slashing sexual education from schools, attempting to force teachers to teach Creationism alongside science in biology classrooms, and more.
Vaginas deserve to be free: how can we hope to achieve anything resembling social equality if a high school biology teacher can't even talk about human reproductive anatomy without causing an uproar?
1. Though let's face it, most red-blooded 10th graders are going to make a point of showing up for this one. Return

To renounce acquaintance with anyone is to cut him. There are several species of the cut:
The cut direct: to start across the street at the approach of the obnoxious person in order to avoid him.
The cut indirect: to look another way, and pass without appearing to observe him.
The cut sublime: to admire the top of King's College Chapel, or the beauty of the passing clouds, until he is out of sight.
The cut infernal: to analyze the arrangement of your shoe-strings, for the same purpose.
Traditionally, every evening sheep are encouraged to rake out (spread far out to graze) on to the fells and moorland, returning to the lower ground by the next morning. The flock ranges over very large areas, ensuring an even grazing of the available ground. Even within a hefted flock there are subgroups - different groups of sheep on different "cuts" of the hill. At the autumn markets these animals are often listed in the sales catalogue under the name of the farm and the cut they belonged to.

Shelbourne Reynolds Inc., has introduced an all new range of Shelbourne stripper headers.
The CVS range is the result of five years of development leading to a variable speed belt drive for the rotor, a new cross sectional profile and auger design and the widest ever 32-foot stripper header.
All machines are now fitted with stainless steel seed saver stripping fingers for more efficient stripping and longer life.
The variable speed rotor drive allows the operator to adjust the rotor speed using a simple cab mounted switch for "on the go adjustments." This enables the rotor to be set to the optimum speed - whatever the field conditions - without the operator leaving the combine seat.
The new cross sectional profile and larger diameter, deeper flighted auger feature new designs which concentrate on reducing weight and improving crop flow. The header now sits closer to the combine for better weight distribution.

As it did the first year, the trip really put things into perspective and made me more appreciative of what we have available to us
Oak Brook, IL (Vocus) May 8, 2010
During the week of April 11, twenty employees of AthletiCo Physical and Occupational Therapy traveled to Honduras with Global Medical Brigades to provide medical care to remote rural communities. In order to help the communities maintain good health and hygiene habits, the volunteers also assisted with building a latrine, water storage unit, stove with chimney, and concrete floors.
This is the third year AthletiCo employees have volunteered with Global Medical Brigades, a sector of Global Brigades. The international student-operated volunteer organization's mission is to provide sustained healthcare relief to underserved communities throughout the world. This experience had a lasting impact on all AthletiCo volunteers who went on the trip including Kim Kistler, ATC, AthletiCo River Grove.
"As it did the first year, the trip really put things into perspective and made me more appreciative of what we have available to us," says Kistler. "It is amazing to see people with so little do so much and be happy and appreciative for what we bring to them."
First-time volunteer, Meredith Thomas, PT, AthletiCo Lake in the Hills, also noted how much the Honduran people appreciated receiving basic items like a bar of soap, toothbrush, and vitamins and was humbled by the experience.
"I was reminded of how fortunate I am to have food in my kitchen, a roof over my head, and clean water for my daughter," says Thomas. "The volunteers on this trip are a great example of individuals who were willing to share what they have been given with those less fortunate."
AthletiCo supported this medical mission trip by holding a medical supply drive in January at all of its physical therapy center s to collect various medications, soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, and even eyeglasses. In addition, AthletiCo and its employees contributed $6,077 toward purchasing additional medical supplies and helping to offset the volunteer costs of the trip. Employees also supported their co-workers by donating PTO hours to the volunteers.
Nearly 1,500 patients were treated during the four-day effort, which this year included dental patients. The importance of dental hygiene was taught, volunteers assisted with tooth extractions, and fluoride treatments were provided to the children of these communities. Medical stations were also set up for patient intake, triage, physician visits, and pharmaceutical needs.
Since 1991, AthletiCo has been the proud provider of rehabilitation, fitness, and performance services to many professional teams, performing arts companies, endurance programs, golf associations, volleyball clubs, high schools, colleges, and events in Chicagoland and Central Illinois. AthletiCo's first Wisconsin location opened in Milwaukee in December 2009.
AthletiCo provides orthopedic rehabilitation including physical and occupational therapy, work rehabilitation, performing arts rehabilitation, women's health therapy, spine control, pediatric physical therapy, vestibular rehabilitation, and athletic training/sports medicine. Expanded services include performance enhancement, fitness center memberships, golf fitness, endurance, nutrition, and massage therapy.
AthletiCo accepts all indemnity, PPO, POS, and WC plans including BC/BS, Humana, Medicare, Aetna (PPO/HMO), PHCS, UHC (PPO.HMO) and many others. As a courtesy to our patients, we verify insurance coverage.

The Young and the Restless Fires Head WriterMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Lynn Marie Latham, executive producer and head writer of The Young and the Restless, has been fired from the soap opera.
Latham, however, chose to walk the picket line with her fellow writers.
In the aftermath of the firing, it's speculated that acting executive producer and head writer Josh Griffith will be offered an official executive producer post.
Griffith, who was hired by The Young and the Restless during the WGA work stoppage, used the "financial core" clause in his union membership to continue working during the strike. It is unclear if Griffith, like Latham before him, will pull double duty as executive producer and head writer.
"It has been difficult, it has been trying," Gottesfeld posted on a message board for writers. "[My wife] Cherie and I survived with our jobs at The Young and the Restless intact, others were not so fortunate. Friends and colleagues are now trying to figure out what to do."

Washington - The Supreme Court dealt a defeat to the pharmaceutical industry and the Bush administration Wednesday, ruling that federal approval of a prescription drug does not provide a shield against lawsuits from injured patients.
The 6-3 decision upholds the traditional right of American consumers to sue the manufacturer if they are harmed by a defective product.
The ruling affirmed a nearly $7-million jury verdict in favor of Diana Levine, a Vermont musician who had to have part of her right arm amputated after she was injected with an anti-nausea drug.
"Next to getting my hand back, this is the best thing they can do," Levine said of the justices' decision. "I feel like something worthwhile has come out of a tragedy."
The ruling -- a rejection of one of the Bush administration's most far-reaching legal policies -- applies to the more than 11,000 drugs on the market in the U.S., both over-the-counter and prescription medications.
Three years ago, the Bush administration switched long-standing Food and Drug Administration policy and announced that federal approval of a drug "preempts" or bars suits in state courts. Last fall, the administration's lawyers joined the Levine case on the side of drug maker Wyeth and urged the high court to adopt the policy as federal law.
But Justice John Paul Stevens, speaking for the court, said the administration's view "does not merit deference."
Congress has passed laws regulating drugs for a century, he said, yet lawmakers have never barred consumers from suing the manufacturers. And for good reason, Stevens added. Lawsuits not only compensate injured individuals, but they "uncover drug hazards and provide incentives for drug manufacturers to disclose safety risks promptly," he said.
Justices Anthony M. Kennedy, David H. Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen G. Breyer agreed. Justice Clarence Thomas concurred in the result. Thomas has been wary of the notion that federal regulations trump state law.
(It was the second defeat for manufacturers in this term on a preemption issue. In December, the court cleared the way for smokers to sue the makers of "light" cigarettes for false advertising. That 5-4 ruling rejected the industry's claim that the federal cigarette warning label barred such suits.)
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Antonin Scalia and Samuel A. Alito Jr. dissented in the drug case Wednesday.
"This case illustrates that tragic facts make bad law," Alito wrote. He called the result "a frontal assault on the FDA's regulatory regime for drug labeling."
Levine's case began nine years ago, when she went to a clinic near her home for treatment of a migraine. Besides a dose of Demerol to relieve the pain, she was given an injection of Phenergan for nausea.
What she did not know -- but the manufacturer knew full well -- was that the drug is extremely dangerous if it reaches an artery.
At least 20 other people had lost limbs this way.
Phenergan usually is administered orally or through an IV drip. Wyeth told doctors and nurses that they could administer Phenergan by injection but said that they must use extreme care when doing so.
Levine said the injection was painful, and apparently reached an artery. Gangrene soon developed. She lost first her hand and then part of her arm.
She sued and won a settlement from the clinic, and then sued Wyeth for failing to fully warn her of the dangers of injecting Phenergan. A Vermont jury agreed and awarded her $6.7 million in damages.
In its appeal, Wyeth said it had disclosed the risks to the FDA, which in turn had approved its warning label.
The Supreme Court took up the case of Wyeth vs. Levine to decide a far-reaching question of liability law in the pharmaceutical industry.
Had the court agreed that the FDA's approval shields the drug makers from lawsuits, the ruling likely would have ended tens of thousands of pending legal claims, industry experts said.
In a statement, the maker of Phenergan called the decision "disappointing, not only for Wyeth, for patients and public health in general. Patients are best served by a national standard for the labeling of prescription medication -- set by the medical and scientific experts" at the FDA.
Consumer advocates said they were delighted and relieved. Brian Wolfman, a lawyer for Public Citizen, said the FDA was overworked and understaffed.
"Once a drug is marketed to thousands of people, we learn of things that we never knew in the clinical trials," he said, adding that private lawsuits act as an extra safety check for consumers.

Redskin's wide receiver Leonard Hankerson experienced the high and low point of his short career in a single game last season. In a week 10 match up against the Miami Dolphins, Hankerson had a break-out game with career high 8 receptions for 106 yards before suffering a hip injury that ultimately ended his rookie season. After off-season surgery, the second-year receiver is looking to re-establish himself as a go-to target in Coach Mike Shanahan's offense.
Hankerson joined 106.7 The Fan's Holden and Danny to discuss the status of his recovery and how he's fitting in with rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III.
When asked about how close he was to being fully healthy, Hankerson said he was still a ways off but that won't keep him off the field.
"I really don't feel like I'm 100% yet because there's always going to be a little nagging and a little problem but if you don't play hurt, or whatever, you're not going to be here," Hankerson said.
In addition to adjusting to an increased workload, Hankerson will also have to adapt to playing with Griffin III. He says that having a year under his belt and knowing what's expected of him will help him do just that.
"If I'm running my routes, getting to my right depth and (Griffin III) is going through his reads then of course it won't be a problem. That's getting everybody on the same page," said Hankerson. "When we get everyone on the same page, like I said, we're gonna be special."

Blog . Solar Equation
11/20/12 | Posted by Vanesa Jeric | Posted in Digital Creativity
Solar Equation is an interactive public art installation by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer consisting of the world's largest spherical balloon, 5 projectors, and an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Although the balloon is the largest in the world, it is still 1 million times smaller than the actual sun. The balloon is tethered over Federation Square in Melbourne, Australia where viewers can download an app created for the project called Solar Equation to change the animations displayed on the faux sun in real time. The animations on the balloon are representative of solar flares, turbulence, and other disturbances that are happening on our real sun. Solar Equation is intended to induce "romantic environments of ephemerality, mystery and paradox, such as those from Blake or Goethe. Every culture has a unique set of solar mythologies and this project seeks to be a platform for both the expression of traditional symbolism and the emergence of new stories."

World Exclusive: The Man Who Gave Birth
Government refuses passport to transgender woman
Children's hospital launches sex change for kids program
Defense in boy's killing seeks juvenile justice
Trans woman sentenced to prison after stabbings
[Letters to the Editor] Get past the phobia
World Exclusive: The Man Who Gave Birth
THE world's first pregnant man has broken his silence in an exclusive interview with the Sunday Express.
Dylan, 40, and his 10-year-old daughter Joanna opened their home to the Sunday Express to explain how a woman turned into a man, had a baby and became a dad.
Government refuses passport to transgender woman
A post by Gay in Uganda last week reveals the discrimination the country's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) population faces when applying for travel documents.
Ugandans know a guy called Brenda. A gal, because Brenda is a trans person. Meaning that biologically the birth was to a male baby, but growing up Brenda was more confortable in the female role, and ultimately embraced the female gender.
Children's hospital launches sex change for kids program
A doctor at the renowned Children's Hospital Boston has launched a new program to drug children to delay puberty so they can decide whether they want a male or a female body, according to a report today in the Boston Globe.
Pediatric endocrinologist Norman Spack, 64, says he started the Gender Management Service Clinic because he found himself encountering 20-somethings who were "transgendered" and in good shape socially, "but they were having trouble getting their physique to conform to their identity".[News/Commentary] Is this our future? (A fascist neo-nazi point of view)
As MassResistance has reported in the past, this is going on at the world-renowned Children's Hospital in Boston - not some backwater clinic. This is the elite of the medical profession. And the Boston Globe treats this with clinical nonchalance. This article is so disturbing that it's difficult to say more.
Defense in boy's killing seeks juvenile justice
Excerpt: Quest said he believes school administrators supported one student expressing himself and his sexuality — King — and ignored how it affected other kids, despite complaints. Cross-dressing isn't a normal thing in adult environments, he said, yet 12-, 13- and 14-year-olds were expected to just accept it and go on.
Trans woman sentenced to prison after stabbings
Excerpt: Alex Lee, director of the Transgender, Gender Variant and Intersex Justice Project, a group that started working with Lawrence in 2005, said the justice system has treated Lawrence unfairly. The people who have attacked Lawrence in the past have never been found or charged with anything, while Lawrence is going to prison, where Lee said she'll be "a giant target."
Lee pointed to research from the University of California, Irvine that transgender people are 13 times more likely to be sexually assaulted in the state's prisons than non-transgender people. The 2007 study included a random sample of 322 inmates, plus a sample of 39 transgender prisoners.

I put mine in black and white terms because I swear Washington State and Idaho are the most opposite neighboring states in the union as far as culture goes, so I pretty much have to flip a lot of things on their head, it is a lot more culture shock than I would experience in a move from say Portland, OR to Vancouver, B.C. - both of which sound like my kind of places to live.edit on 24-2-2013 by darkbake because: (no reason given)

I went to college at one of the most liberal liberal arts schools in the nation, in Caldwell, ID - and afterwards moved back to Washington State. Two months ago, I returned to Caldwell, but not the college - I am now living in Idaho with conservative room-mates.
There is definitely paralyzing culture shock when moving from one of the most liberal areas in the country to one of the most conservative with the intention of being part of that society. Luckily, my life started out rather conservative, but I am so glad for the liberal experience I had from middle-school through college.
I think a lot of people don't realize that there are different ways of thinking out there, whole societies that exist on different levels, and if you are part of that society, it is fairly impossible to even comprehend what another society is like.
It often goes beyond the realm of facts and into the realm of societal structure - which has fairly little to do with facts, but more to do with how things like energy and resources flow through the system, what perceptions people have of different objects, people, events, etc, what roles people play, what is considered successful, and what is held as valuable.
Just like a Democratic government gets its power from the population (if our government stops working this way, it is technically not a Democracy) the values a culture holds important get their power from the shared (and probably coerced or otherwise manipulated) vision of the members in the society.
At the moment, liberals value science and ethics based on cause-and-effect principles, and basic human dignity. Conservatives, on the other hand, seem to value the freedom to pursue a vision or goal while disregarding others who they are not on familiar terms with.
There are a lot of differences between the two societies, enough that when I first moved to Idaho, I was constantly making "social mistakes" just because I was used to being from Washington.
The main point of this post is to show how crazy it is - I think that everyone should experience living in a different culture than they are used to at some point, fully immersed, to understand just how screwed up it is that there are complete societies out there with different perspectives on the world -
I mean, when everyone around you believes certain things, it has a way of making you think that this is reality, this is how everyone thinks - to surpass the limitations put on you by whatever society you are in, a great way to start is by going through culture shock.edit on 24-2-2013 by darkbake because: (no reason given)
