In July I drove 1,800 miles in a moving truck from Florida to Maine, and as my minimalist Budget rental had no iPod adapter, I spent dozens of hours listening to radio stations along the eastern edge of the United States.
I had just spent more than two years prior living in Egypt, where I was less exposed to western pop. One thing dawned on me, other than my resolve to promptly take my own life if I hear Bruno Mars's "The Lazy Song" one more time. What struck me were the overarching themes of female strength and resilience sung over the airwaves. They seemed to air one after another and were impossible to miss.
Much of the music of Pink, Lady GaGa, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, Sara Haze, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift told listeners, "Like everyone, I'm flawed. Deal with it. I'm good enough and worthy of respect."
I've taken days-long trips across the US before, but I don't remember such a recurring musical announcement of female self-worth. Songs titled "Born this Way," "Lovely," and "[Expletive] Perfect" glorify self-acceptance. This latter song, by Pink, croons "You're so mean when you talk/ about yourself, you are wrong/ Change the voices in your head/ Make them like you instead."
Female empowerment through music isn't new, of course. Madonna built an empire by asserting her independence. But her tone was different. Her songs "Material Girl" and "Like a Virgin" communicated that she likes expensive things and time in the sheets.
Granted, the messages of today's female pop stars aren't always the stuff of enlightened self-respect. Katy Perry's song "Last Friday Night" celebrates vaguely recalled, alcohol-primed flings with multiple partners.
Similarly, the artist Rihanna seems to celebrate her libido much more than any self-efficacy she possesses. Esquire magazine wrote in November that her sensuality is such that "Rihanna doesn't really dance," but rather how she moves on stage "amounts to choreographed oozing." Rihanna is Esquire's 2011 "Sexiest Woman Alive," and she didn't lure this laurel by being profound.
Still, it seemed during my drive to New England that there was less of the bubble gum of Brittany Spears and Jessica Simpson on the radio. There was some nourishment over the airwaves.
The New York Times wrote an October 2011 profile of "Kelly Clarkson, a pop star proud in her own skin," discussing her latest album, "Stronger," which details "her own journey of empowerment, addressed directly to fans."
Pink, too, has anchored much of her musical career in the message that women deserve respect and needn't be shy wielding power. She can be crass, but her millions of adulators are drawn to her radiance of self-love.
Cynics are not overly impressed by commercial products that use female dignity to sell things. Does the message of empowerment promote girls' progress or does it just sell songs? To Dove's recent home run with its "Real Beauty" advertising campaign, for example, naysayers retort that the messages were merely a gimmick to sell soap and deodorant.
Critics have also pointed out the tension between sexuality and beauty as a form of girls' empowerment and sexuality as replicating the idea of women as sex objects. Some pose the question: sexy or sexist? It's a tradeoff that plays out in the messages and imagery of some of these artists as well.
But what's the alternative? Would you rather have 13 year-old girls hearing the aggressive misogyny of Eminem and Ludacris, or to Lady GaGa celebrating adolescent existence?
Then there's the overriding question of whether an artist's girl-power message inspires real change or whether it actually has an adverse affect: lulling girls into thinking they "run the world" (as Beyoncé asserts in her high-powered dance anthem "Who run the world (Girls)"), when the reality is far from it. Will girls high on pop-song refrains learn about the systemic problems they and their global peers face and thus be ready to do the real work of changing things?
Yes, for real progress, society needs to follow up the message with meat. But this is a much healthier starting point.
Of course, even if female pop is moving in a pro-social direction, other media sectors seem to be degenerating. Vogue magazine drew opprobrium in 2011 for stretching out a 10 year-old cover model in gaudy garb and caked in makeup. In media and marketing the acronym G.G.O.Y. stands for "Girls getting older younger," which seems to be the trajectory of things.
In spite of this, a cohort of young female musicians, seems to be saying, at least part of the time, "girls – and self-worth – matter." And the break from the filth is refreshing.
Superstar Taylor Swift, who has sold more albums over the last five years than any musician – anywhere – summed up her cohort's ethos in her November profile on 60 Minutes: "Every singer out there with songs on the radio is raising the next generation. So make your words count."

Couldn't comment on the post above (comment disabled, it says), but I wanted to ask about that cute pincushion. You said you use a bottle cap for the cupcake liner. Is that a regular soda (coke) bottle cap? Because it looks much bigger in the photo.
I will post my favorite holiday recipe later. I sure would like to win that bag.

PSU receives Laura Bush 21st Century Library grant
Thursday, May 30, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
Pittsburg State University has announced the receipt of a major grant from the Laura Bush 21st Century Library program to train and mentor master's-level library media specialists for school libraries serving the nine Native American Tribes in Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri.
PSU President Steve Scott, tribal chiefs and other officials from the university and the tribes made the announcement at the Inter-Tribal Council Building in Miami, Okla., on Monday, May 13.
"As a lifelong educator, I know that libraries are the beating heart of any school," Scott said. "They are also the repository for our culture and our history. This project will help us train a new generation of specialists who can provide information that is critical to individual success and also respect and celebrate the Native American history and culture of the region."
The three-year grant, for $487,212, will pay for books and tuition, a laptop computer and a stipend for 25 students in PSU's master of science in Educational Technology - Library Media Specialist Program. In addition to an online, two-year course of study beginning this summer, students will complete a year of mentorship.
This program is designed for the working professional. In fact, program officials said, being employed in the public schools or the tribal museums/libraries enhances the interactive learning opportunities of this program.
Ron Sparkman, chairman of the Inter-Tribal Council, Inc. said, "I'm very pleased that the Inter-Tribal Council can be a part of the education of our young people."
The program, which is titled the 21st Century Library Alliance, is a collaborative effort between PSU, the nine Native American Tribes, 16 school districts with Native American student populations greater than 10 percent, and the American Indian Center for Excellence (AICE) at Northeast Oklahoma A & M.
The schools that joined in a collaborative agreement are: Afton ISD, Bluejacket ISD, Commerce ISD, Fairland ISD, Grove ISD, Jay ISD, Ketchum ISD, Miami ISD, Quapaw ISD, Turkey Ford ISD, Welch ISD, White Oak ISD, Wyandotte ISD, Seneca R-7, Fort Scott USD 234 and Pittsburg USD 250.
"A primary focus of the grant is to provide 25 library media specialists with a specially designed curriculum that empowers Native American scholars," said Sue Stidham, a professor in PSU's Department of Teaching and Leadership, who will administer the grant. Stidham further stated that, "by modifying the current library media specialist program, the hope is to heighten cultural sensitivity and strengthen the focus on how to provide services to Native American children and adults. The program will also educate media specialists in the organization, management, and preservation of materials in 21st century Native American heritage institutions.
This project will also provide a collaborative environment for these media specialists to work with Native American tribal members, who can encourage cultural change and ensure an unbiased climate and curricula in school libraries and classrooms.
"The practicum is an important part of this program. In order to learn more about the tribes, candidates will not only spend time in school media centers, but will also spend 30 hours in tribal libraries and museums," she said. "The candidates will learn the tribal culture first hand, establish networks, and in return bring the latest technology skills for preserving and locating current and past documents to the tribal libraries and museums."
President Scott said he hopes the new library media specialist program is just the beginning of greater collaboration between the university, the nine tribes and other entities.
"There are a number of opportunities for us, working together, to make a difference in the lives of Native Americans in the region," Scott said. "We expect this project to open doors for even greater collaboration in the future."
The Laura Bush 21st Century Library program is underwritten by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The PSU proposal was one of 21 grants approved out of 81 applications.

Handmade with care, these very special organic bar soaps

All about Dirty Birdy Soap:
Our passion for soap making resulted from the difficulties in finding unique, high quality organic bath and beauty products. Out of desperation, in early 2008 we began experimenting extensively with organic glycerin and other ingredients until finally coming up with the perfect blend of essential oils, moisturizing glycerin base and creamy emollients.
All of our bar soaps are made from a minimum of 70 percent organic ingredients and are free of any artificial preservatives, colorants, or harsh lathering agents. As a result of our commitment to the environment, our products are crafted from sustainable resources, and our packaging is recyclable too.

Peter R. Grant and B. Rosemary Grant are both emeritus professors in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University. They are the co-authors of How and Why Species Multiply: The Radiation of Darwin's Finches and co-editors of In Search of the Causes of Evolution: From Field Observations to Mechanisms (both Princeton).
B. Rosemary Grant received her B.Sc. (with Honors) from Edinburgh University in Scotland, and completed her Ph.D. at Uppsala University, in Sweden. Peter Grant received his B.A. (with Honors) from Cambridge University, England, completed his Ph.D. at the University of British Columbia, Canada, and completed his Post-doctoral Fellowship at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. Their combined research efforts continue to offer "unparalleled insights into ecological and evolutionary changes in natural environments," and in 2013, the couple was awarded the Margaret Morse Nice Prize by the Wilson Ornithological Society.
Now, on to the questions!
PUP: What inspired you to get into your field?
Peter and Rosemary Grant: Early experience followed by stimulating teachers. Before the age of five, we had each enjoyed the English countryside: the lake district of the north in Rosemary's case and south of London in mine. Some of our earliest memories are similar, such as the thrill of finding a fossil, catching a butterfly, and smelling a flower. Much later as undergraduates we had inspiring teachers, and many of them. Foremost among them were the Edinburgh geneticists C.H. Waddington and D.G. Facloner (for Rosemary) and Yale ecologist G.E. Hutchinson (for me).
There is widespread misunderstanding about evolution; that it occurs extremely slowly….The idea that animals as large as birds might evolve before our eyes is not so well known.
What was the most influential book you've read?
Each of us read Charles Darwin's Origin of Species at an important stage in our lives. This magisterial book opened our eyes to an understanding of the natural world that is within reach with careful observation, experiment, and logical reasoning, It is extraordinarily rich in insights, and repays re-reading, even with people like us who are older than Darwin when he died!
Why did you write this book?
Having written numerous papers in the specialized scientific literature, as well as three books on our research, we believed the time had come to synthesize all we had done and learned by following the fates of finches on Daphne for 40 years. We also wanted to explain and illustrate the excitement of scientific discovery to a broader audience than the professional biologists who might have read our more technical papers. Finally, we wanted to inspire and encourage students who might wish to study the workings of nature in remote places unaffected by humans, but who are not sure if and whether this can be done.
What was the most interesting thing you learned from writing this book?
Perhaps many scientists make the last observation and then start writing a book without returning to their scientific material. This is not what happened in our case. As we developed the main argument in the book about how new species are formed we were stimulated to improve the way we expressed the main ideas, to think along new lines, and to ask new questions. In a few instances those questions led us back to the files of data, to new analyses, and to a greater appreciation of the role of hybridization in evolution.
We are collaborating with no less than five different groups in pursuing evolutionary questions with the data we have collected.
What do you think is book's most important contribution?
There is widespread misunderstanding about evolution; that it occurs extremely slowly and therefore cannot be studied in a person's lifetime. This was the view of Charles Darwin. Many biologists and others now know that this is not correct. For example, evolution occurs in the bacteria that cause illness in us, such as streptococcus bacteria in hospitals, and in insects and weedy plants that are agricultural pests. We do our best to control our biological enemies and persecutors, and they evolve in ways that repeatedly thwart us. The idea that animals as large as birds might evolve before our eyes is not so well known, yet our study in the entirely natural world of Daphne Major island has revealed this does in fact happen when there is a change in the environment, and it takes place over a period as short as a year, and repeatedly.
PUP: How did you come up with the title or jacket?
The title is the essence of the book. That was an easy choice. The jacket was the brain-child of a designer employed by Princeton University Press. We already had a strong image for the cover with a picture of Daphne taken at sea level. However, the designer improved on this by picking one of our photographs taken from the land and cropped it creatively to present of visualization of what it is like to actually be on the island.
What is your next project?
Not sure. Our involvement in finch research has not ended with the publication of the book. We are collaborating with no less than five different groups in pursuing evolutionary questions with the data we have collected. We are also thinking about returning to the island to check on the birds, to see who has survived and who has not, and to find out what has happened to the new lineage of finches whose ups and downs we followed for thirty years.

PORTLAND — The University of Southern Maine will award an additional $1.3 million in scholarships for students who enroll in college for the first time this fall.
The scholarships, which will be for $1,500 to $12,000 per year for up to four years, will be awarded to students in the top 30 percent of their high school class, meet minimums on the SAT or ACT tests and are in need of financial aid, USM said in a press release.
Last year, USM gave $1 million to first-time students – on top of $7 million it awarded in financial aid – which translated to 356 scholarships, USM said.
"Anything we can do to help make college more affordable is a great use of university resources," USM President Theodora Kalikow said in a prepared statement.
According to the press release, the money for the new scholarships is coming from "reallocations of existing university funds."
"In addition to helping individual students and their families, these scholarships also help attract great numbers of students to USM, which benefits everyone," Kalikow said.
Eligible applicants for admission will be automatically considered for the scholarships.
For more information, contact USM's Office of Undergraduate Admission at 780-5670 or [email protected].

An Open Letter to the ABA
Earlier today, New York Law School students received an e-mail from our administration telling us that the American Bar Association has decided not to waive any required class hours after the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. Instead, students will be attending regular and makeup classes nearly every day for the next three weeks, including weekends. Students of all the law schools in the tri-state area surely received similar notifications.
Boo hoo, right? Any complaints about the schedule will come from entitled law students who just need to suck it up and get down to work.
Well, actually, no.
Some of those people with no homes are the law students, or their families, or friends. Over the past long and terrible week, many, many law students headed to the Rockaways, Staten Island, and Long Beach to volunteer and help however we could. And if you've seen the devastation in these areas, you know that help is needed, desperately.
I am the first to defend New York Law School as a great institution. Our new dean, Dean Crowell, is a good man who cares about his students. Our professors reached out to their students to make sure we were all okay while our facilities were closed (we are located in TriBeCa and our building had no power). While I don't know any ranking members of the ABA, I doubt they have anything but our best interests at heart.
I just think the ABA's decision was shortsighted, and a bit tone deaf to what's happened.
It's rather like Mayor Bloomberg's desire earlier in the week to go ahead with the New York Marathon. He initially believed that keeping the event on would show the resilience of our city and the spirit of its citizens, and would allow the world-class athletes, many of whom had already traveled here, to put on a performance that would make our city proud.
And normally he'd have been right. But before we can afford to make symbolic statements of how tough we are, our city had — and has — some practical matters to address.
Many people, in the hundreds of thousands, are still without food, power, heat, or running water, as temperatures dip into the 30s in the evenings. The faces of the folks living through this show a pain that I've never seen before up close. As my friend Christine said after dropping off another carful of donated goods to Staten Island, "This can't be reality."

November 3rd 2017 @ 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM£12 – £20
> Spanish: 6 to 8pm
> Italian: 7 to 9pm
Hi Language Lovers, we promote a new way to learn and practise languages over a Sangria in one of the coolest places in Liverpool, Chicha Restaurant, 55 Bold Street, L1 4EU. Map: https://goo.gl/maps/bMMqrtRdrBH2
The main objective of our events is to offer a great experience to everyone who wants to practice and improve languages.
How does it work?
The activity will be held weekly and will consist of:
> 50 min – Language lesson
> 20 min – Break where you will be invited to have a sangria (or another drink of your choice) and snacks
> 50 min – Language lesson
Total duration per session: 2 hours
The lessons (delivered by native teachers) are academic but mostly focus on conversation, and will include games and fun activities.
The languages that are available at the moment are Spanish – German – Italian
If you would like to learn another language please let us know, we may be able to organise it for you.
This programme will finish the week of 11th and 17th December, just before Christmas. We plan to start again in 2018.
How much does it cost?
Every session is £20, including the two 50-min lessons, the drinks and snacks.
However, if you book and pay in advance a minimum of 4 of weeks, the total cost is £60, so £15 per session.
You can pay online, or the day of your first session by cash or bank card.
What if, for any reason, I would like to finish earlier than the weeks I already paid?
We will refund the full amount discounting £20 for every lesson already taken.
I plan to attend twice a week (or more), can I?
Sure! And in that case, you will receive a complimentary voucher for the Chicha special menu of 3 tapas, valued at £11, even if it is for two different languages.
What if I have booked some weeks in advance, but I am not able to come to a lesson one particular day?
Not a problem, you will have the chance to attend a session of another group, during a different day of the week. So you do not lose any lesson.
I am in, I would like to be a student, what should I do next?
Please, fill in the form below and we will contact you shortly.
What are the available dates and times?
You will see them in the form when clicking on any particular language checkbox.

Boost Your Balance; Avoid Falls
Exercises in 30s and 40s Can Keep You Steadier as You Age
If you find yourself needing to sit down to take off your shoes, it might be time to start paying attention to your sense of balance.
People don't usually think about balance until they fall, but little signs such as relying on handrails to go up and down stairs can be early warnings that stability is starting to go, says Jason Jackson, a physical therapist at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. These changes won't show up on the formal assessments that doctors use for people with balance disorders, such as the Berg and Tinetti...

Press Release - Golden Hills sees continued Improvement in Student Achievement -----
Students in the Golden Hills School Division are performing well and continue to improve in many areas according to the most recent results on the 2014-2015 Provincial Achievement Test and Diploma Examinations.
"We are very pleased to see continued increases again in this year's student achievement results" said Bevan Daverne, Superintendent of Schools. Many of our Achievement test and Diploma exams results have continued to rise across Golden Hills schools. We are very proud of the hard work of our students as well as the work our teachers do to create innovative and engaging classrooms.
In Golden Hills School Division, the percentage of students achieving the Acceptable Standard improved over the previous year in all eight of the Achievement tests from grades 6 and 9. The percentage of students achieving the Standard of Excellence improved over the previous year in four of the eight Achievement Tests. Grade 6 English Language Arts, Math, Social, and Science were above the Provincial average for the number of students achieving the acceptable standard. Furthermore, grade 6 Social achieved above provincial average in the Standard of Excellence.
Golden Hills saw increases in the number of students achieving Acceptable Standard over the previous year in four of the nine diploma courses (Social 30-1, Math 30-1, Biology 30, and Physics 30). Golden Hills' students exceeded the provincial Standard of Excellent benchmark in four of the nine diploma courses (Biology 30, Chemistry 30, Physics 30, and Math 30-1). There were also increases over the previous year in the number of students achieving the Standard of Excellence in four of the nine diploma courses (Social 30-1, Math 30-1, Math 30-2, Math, and Physics 30).
"We are facilitating students in becoming strong critical thinkers, problem solvers, innovators and creative doers while ensuring foundational skills in literacy and numeracy. Our teachers are using high yield strategic instructional practices that improve student learning." Dr. Kandace Jordan, Deputy Superintendent of Instructional Services. "Our investment in professional development and teacher collaboration has supported the development of teaching practices that best enhance student learning"
The Provincial Achievement and Diploma Examination results are measured in the Provincial Accountability Pillar. Other indicators include dropout rates, high school completion, post-secondary transition rates and a variety of stakeholder satisfaction measures.
Principals will communicate their school's results, along with important contextual information, to parents at School Council meetings. This information will be reported in each school's Annual Educational Plan and Results Report which will be posted on their website by November 30.
"The Board has had the opportunity to review the 2014/2015 provincial testing results for the diploma exams and provincial achievement tests" said Dave Price. "We are very pleased with the success of our students and the continued gains in improvement. We very much appreciate all the work teachers, support staff and parents have done to support students and increase their Achievement in Golden Hills. I encourage parents to attend the School Council meeting where principals review the results and discuss the school's annual education plan."

Talking with your doctor
About your treatment options for prostate cancer
After a diagnosis of prostate cancer is confirmed, you may have a number of questions about the disease and the available treatment options.
Websites such as this provide a valuable resource of information. However, you doctor or other healthcare professional will be able to discuss your particular circumstances with you and help you decide on the most appropriate form of treatment for you.
Before you see your doctor or other healthcare professional, you may wish to write down a few questions in preparation.
Below are some questions to help get you started.
- What are the treatment options available for treating my prostate cancer?
- How effective are the treatment options?
- Is brachytherapy an option for my prostate cancer? Is it the right option?
- What type of brachytherapy is an option – low dose rate or high dose rate brachytherapy?
- Will I be cured if I choose to have brachytherapy to treat my prostate cancer?
- How long will I need to stay in hospital?
- How soon can I go back to work after having treatment?
- What side effects might I have?
- What is my level of risk of the side effects?
- How does the risk of side effects compare to other treatments?
General answers to common question about brachytherapy for prostate cancer are provided in the frequently asked questions section.

Bank robbers and drug dealers aren't the only ones who turn their backs on God until they get in trouble. We're all prone to do this.
Jail house conversions are the stuff of bad jokes and legend. Once in a while, one of these literal "come to Jesus" events holds up throughout the rest of a person's life. More often, the repentant sinner reverts to their old selves as soon as the bad times pass.
The difference between the convicted felons and the high and mighty of the world in terms of conversion is a matter of circumstance, not righteousness. One thing I've learned in my life is that I find it much easier to deal with an alcoholic or a philanderer who knows that they are doing wrong than with a self-righteous, self-worshipping upstanding citizen who only sees the crimes and faults of others.
It is possible to work with the miscreant who knows they have faults. The person who is so sure of their rightness, not so much.
Pope Francis gave a homily yesterday that I think every successful and powerful person should hear. It doesn't matter if you are an elected official, the head of a corporation or a doctor who is using the medical technology at your disposal to exploit your patients, your soul is always in great peril, precisely because of your successes in the arena of life.
It is too easy to become what the Holy Father calls "corrupt," which is to say, self-sufficient to the point that you no longer think you need God. The first corruption is always, as Elizabeth Scalia wrote in Strange Gods, making a false idol of yourself. The first challenge of the high and mighty isn't adultery or abortion or lying or stealing or any of the sins people commit with such reckless disregard for consequence. The first challenge is narcissism.
It is, as Jesus told us, easier by far for a successful person to feel they have gained the world and in their smugness, lose their own souls.
Self-corrupted people like this are found inside the Church as well as outside it. Clergy get a heavy dose of unearned respect and adulation along with equally unearned abuse. This is unbalancing for anyone. They are talented people with the ability to persuade others. Their verbal skills are the equal of any politician's and the temptations they face are often startlingly similar.
That's probably who Pope Francis was zeroing in his homily this morning. I don't know, but I would guess that he was talking directly to some of the people sitting in his audience. However the truth of his homily, like all truths about human nature, are universal.
We are killing ourselves spiritually with our self-aggrandizing egos. It is a form of suicide that can last for eternity.

The reason for the name of the game is equivalent to the structure of the game. There is a wheel which has a variety of numbers and colours drawn on it.

UK Roulette Bonus Charts and Top Casino Offers Online
The reason why roulette is so popular among the masses of people who play casino games both offline and online is that of the great number of betting options that are associated with the game. The greater the betting options in a game, the more the chances of winning in that particular game.
The betting options in Roulette vary greatly depending on the type of bet that a player wants to go for. An individual can try their luck at casino games by betting on a single number and colour and win big. The narrower the betting range of a player, the greater the chances of winning big. A player has to choose a colour between red and black. They also need to choose the range of numbers on which the ball may possibly fall on. The range of numbers differ from high-end numbers to low-end numbers.
Players need to place their bets before the start of the roulette game. Once the game starts, depending on the place where the white ball falls, a player either wins or loses.
