Baseball Book Review: "Chasing a Dream" – By CJ Boerger
Saturday December 15th, 2012
Jonathan Hacohen (Baseball Writer and Website Founder): Follow @Jhacohen
The most popular question I receive at this time of year? Typically centers around Christmas coming around the corner and the need to buy a gift. Lots of them. For the baseball fan that has everything, what is one to buy?
I go through this list seemingly every year. With spring training still a whole 3 months away (along with the World Baseball Classic this upcoming year), baseball fans need some sort of outlet to satisfy their baseball thirst. Baseball dvds are always a good source- as all the classic games are forever enshrined in the video archives. But after having watched ball for the spring/summer/fall, sometimes it is nice to get away from the television. That is when you curl up to a good book and enjoy a baseball read.
There is nothing finer than getting lost in someone else's world. Reading a story about another person's hopes, goals and dreams. Where they go and how they get there. All of us have dreams. We spend our entire lives chasing them. Some are attainable, while others elude us. But sometimes it is nice to take a break from our own pursuits and live in another pair of shoes. For 300+ pages, I got to be an outsider in the world of Charlie Becker and learn about his dream. Read the rest of this entry

There are a number of reasons why you might to do a patent search. For instance, if you think you've invented something really cool, you can freely search patent ideas online and find out if your product is patentable or if someone else had your really cool idea first. Some things that may help you with your patent search are some definitions and terms that you may or may not be familiar with, what is and isn't patentable, and how to get a United States patent.
Patent search Definitions
Even though you are more than likely familiar with some of the following words, they might have slightly different meaning in this context.
Types of Patents
There are three main kinds of patents that you can get. Each one differs based on the nature of your product, and are as follows:
Utility - Utility is the most common kind of trade mark and includes any inventions that function in a new and useful manner.
Design - As implied by the name, this type of patent focuses on design rather than function. This type of patent relies on the product's unique form or appearance.
Plant - You might not have thought that plants were patentable, but any new varieties of asexually reproduced plants can be patented. A plant breeder can patent different types of dahlias or lilies.
What is Patentable?
Now, let's take a look at what inventions can be patented under each of these three different kinds of patents. First off we have inventions of utility; inventions of utility have to fall into one of five different statutory classes in order to be considered patentable. These are the following:
Besides fitting into one of the above categories, the product that you want to trademark must be useful. There are, however, different definitions of useful. For instance, some might people might not consider board games to be useful, but they're meant to be used for entertainment, at which they succeed.
Whatever you want to patent must also be uniquely your intellectual property. That doesn't mean that it can't be similar to something else, but it must have something unique about it. For instance, take toasters vs. toaster ovens. They are definitely similar in nature, yet they have unique aspects that make them different products.
Last but not least, your product must not be completely obvious to other independent inventors. This means that your product would not seem obvious to someone who has knowledge and experience in the area that your product fits into. For example, if all microwaves were black and you 'invented' a red microwave and tried to patent it, it wouldn't work.
What Generally Can't You Patent?
Now let's look at things that, generally speaking, you cannot patent. These include merely changing an existing product's size, form, or shape. Inventions where you've merely added on some parts or taken some parts away from someone else's product are not considered unique, either.
Along with trying to blatantly steal other people's ideas, you're not allowed to patent abstract ideas, physical phenomena, and the laws of nature. All literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works should be protected by copyright laws, so you can't try to patent those either. And, just in case you were getting any ideas, you can't get a patent for a product that is against the laws of nature or whose only use is illegal in nature.
How Do You Do a Patent search?
The best and easiest way to do a patent search is by patent classification. A Patent Classification is a code used to categorize a product. These classifications are normally shown with the class of the product first, followed by a slash and the subclass of product. Classes and subclasses have titles which provide a short description and/or definition of the class or subclass. Many Classes and subclasses have explicitly defined relationships to one another, which lets you search patents more easily.
There are a lot of internet patent search systems, and one of the top level domains is Google patents. If you do an internet patent search using Google's patent search system, you can just type in a word. If you type in the word "spork," you will find a foldable spork that is currently listed as patent D07/643. If you read on, you will find that sporks fall under the class of D07: "Equipment for preparing or serving food or drink not elsewhere specified," and within the subclass of 643: "combination or integral form of fork and spoon."
How Do I Get My Patent?
Okay, let's say you've made sure that your product fits the requirements and you did a thorough patent search to make sure that your patent won't infringe on someone else's intellectual property. Now, how do you go about getting your patent? First off, you need to fill out a patent application.
Keep in mind, patent applications are legal documents where you will need to describe your product in considerable detail. Luckily, you can do this online. If you go to the official U.S. Patent Office (USPTO) site (http://www.uspto.gov/), you'll be able to find the link to fill out and submit your patent forms online. You can also do a fee schedule check, search patent data, check on the status of your applications, etc. (If you are Canadian, you can also check out the Canadian patents database).

After 10 years of stunted growth, Dora the Explorer, the iconic cartoon tot beloved by little girls nationwide -- and their parents, who praise her for being a smart, non-girly role model for young females -- is turning into a tween girl. And those very same Moms and Dads are experiencing some serious growing pains.
Nickelodeon and Mattel have unveiled only the silhouette of the new Dora, who'll debut this fall, but the contours reveal some substantial changes. Gone is the tomboy with the rough-and-tumble mien. Dora's choppy mop has been replaced with flowing locks, her tee-and-shorts combo has given way to a miniskirt, and those decidedly kiddie mary-janes are long gone. Dora wears pointy ballet shoes now.
It's a makeover in keeping with the character's new life. According to the New York Daily News, "tweenage Dora will live in the big city, attend middle school and have a new wardrobe and accessories." Including lip gloss, reports CNN.

Joan Sutherland, the Australian tailor's daughter acclaimed as "La Stupenda" during a nearly 40-year operatic career and rated by many critics as the most powerful and technically perfect diva of the 20th century, has died. She was 83.
Sutherland died Sunday at her home near Geneva, Switzerland, after a long illness, her family announced.
Sutherland achieved stardom in 1959 with a celebrated turn in the title role of Gaetano Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor" at London's Royal Opera House. By then she was 32 and had been with the company for seven years, making a name for herself in a wide assortment of roles until the perfect one came along. She had been performing professionally since she was 18, and from the age of 16 she had steadily devoted herself to broadening her vocal scope and perfecting her technique.
Her most important teacher was Richard Bonynge, a pianist she met when they were teenagers in Australia — and who would become her husband and regular conductor.
Sutherland's triumph as Lucia spurred a return to prominence for the "bel canto" style for which she became famous. Building on the achievements of Maria Callas, Sutherland went on to re-establish the long-neglected bel canto (Italian for "beautiful singing") repertoire of the 18th- and 19th-century composers Donizetti, Rossini and Bellini. Beverly Sills and Sutherland's close friend, Marilyn Horne, were among those who subsequently took advantage of opera companies' renewed interest in the style, in which composers lavished their music with trills, extreme high notes and other musical ornamentation intended to showcase the singer's brilliance.
Sutherland's "magnificent voice," interpretive strength and revival of "bel canto works that had nearly been forgotten" together "ensure a permanent place for her in the history of our art," opera star Placido Domingo said in a statement Monday.
He recalled first working with her in "Lucia di Lammermoor" in 1961, and "being amazed by her technique but also grateful for her and Richard's simplicity and kindness.... We will all miss her very much."
Sutherland's voice, wrote Winthrop Sargeant in a 1972 New Yorker profile, was "as large as that of a top-ranking Wagnerian soprano. It had a range that stretched from A below middle C to F, or even to F-sharp, above the staff. It also had the sensuous, womanly quality that proclaims the great diva. But the most glorious thing about it was its astonishing agility and its uncanny accuracy."
Times critic Martin Bernheimer wrote of her 1966 concert debut at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion: "One never ceases to be astounded by the way Miss Sutherland manipulates a basically large vocal instrument as if it were as slender and inherently flexible as the coloratura sopranos." It was "even rarer," he added, that she wielded it not to overwhelm, but with unstrained ease, musicality and taste. Sutherland's only flaw, for most critics, was what Bernheimer called "her mushy … diction."
She was born Nov. 7, 1926, in Sydney, Australia. Her musical journey began when she was a small girl, seated on the piano bench alongside her mother, Muriel Sutherland, a highly regarded amateur contralto, as Muriel did vocal exercises. Her father, William, a Scottish immigrant, died when Joan was 6. The family moved in with her grandparents, and her mother and older half-siblings from William's previous marriage went to work.
After high school, Sutherland worked as a typist, but she was able to pursue voice training, thanks to lessons she'd won in a contest. Victory in another local competition brought her a series of bookings in small towns in New South Wales. There she met Bonynge, her sometime accompanist. Those earnings, and a larger cash prize from a national voice contest, bankrolled Sutherland's move to London, where she lived with her mother, studied at the Royal College of Music and began auditioning for the Royal Opera at Covent Garden. She made it on her third try, in 1952.
By then, Bonynge, who also had pursued musical studies in London, was coaching her; they married in 1954. Later, some critics were less than enthralled that Sutherland and Bonynge remained joined at the hip professionally. Recalling a 1972 recording of Puccini's "Turandot" Sutherland made with Zubin Mehta, conductor-musicologist Will Crutchfield, then a critic for the New York Times, speculated in 1986 whether that disc's virtues might have been repeated more often had she gone in for more outside collaborations. "Her singing there is tremendously vivid, charged with a relish she has rarely shown for music so far away from her home base of bel canto virtuosity," he wrote.
But Sutherland was happy to stand by her man: "For me he is the perfect conductor," she told the New Yorker. "He knows how to allow for breathing, and he has a complete knowledge of how I feel and what I am capable of." She and Bonynge (pronounced Bonning) continued to tour together until 1990, when Sutherland retired at 63.
One of her signature recordings is "The Art of the Prima Donna" (1960), but Sutherland was known for doffing the prima donna mantle when she left the stage. Music journalists often noted her down-to-earth personality, her typically good-humored disposition and her ability to negotiate an operatic career with a minimum of backstage conflict and drama. She preferred to go straight home after performances, rather than basking in the after-hours limelight.
"I'm a mum," she told the British newspaper, the Guardian, in 2002. "I never thought of becoming a diva. I just wanted to sing the roles and get on with my work. I used to come to the theater in a taxi, not in some Rolls-Royce. I didn't have time to do all that silly stuff."
She was made a Dame of the British Empire in the late 1970s.
While her career was long, it wasn't always easy. From her days as a company member with the Royal Opera during the 1950s, Sutherland coped with dental woes, severe sinus problems and chronic back distress.
But when caught up in the exultation of performance, she told the Australian newspaper the Advertiser in 1979, there was no pain. "When one is singing high and loud it's as though one is in light air, high up on a mountain. I feel a lightness and a dizziness. Exhilaration, too," she said. "I've never smoked marijuana, but I fancy it might be the same sort of feeling."
She is survived by Bonynge; their son, Adam, and two grandchildren.

CHICAGO – All hail the conquering heroes! The Chicago Bulls overcame a 19-point deficit against the Denver Nuggets Friday night to wrap up the month's schedule at 8-0 and nail down the NBA's unofficial preseason championship. So unofficial, of course, that it doesn't even exist.
Baseball lore has Reggie Jackson and these days Carlos Beltran, but the NBA doesn't do much celebrating of Mr. Octobers. For obvious reasons.
While other teams with designs on reaching The Finals in June sat key players as their slates of tune-up games wound down, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau – with less than four minutes left in the finale – had Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer and Mike Dunleavy on the court. Taj Gibson had sat down moments earlier, and the only reason Joakim Noah wasn't out there was that he still was nursing a groin injury suffered in the first week of camp. Oh, and Kirk Hinrich was on the side after dealing with a concussion and sore shoulder.
That accounts for Chicago's top eight players, still grinding or still recuperating in the dwindling minutes of the preseason. Which is the point.
Starting center Noah logged less than 20 minutes in a single preseason appearance 10 days ago and is questionable for the regular-season opener at Miami Tuesday. Hinrich, the third guard, is iffy too. And the black cloud of injuries that has hung over the Bulls in recent seasons will be looming large again at the start of this one.
Playing harder and generally longer than the next guy is the Thibodeau way. It worked well enough to earn the Bulls the NBA's best record in the coach's first two seasons (112-36) and pushed them – without Rose all season, with pieces from the spare-parts bin – past Brooklyn into the Eastern Conference semifinals last spring.
But Deng, Hinrich and Noah all were hobbled at various points, the revolving door to the trainers room kept spinning and the Bulls never did get what they really wanted.
So it has to be asked: Might there be a better way? Some contenders ease their way through the regular season, eyes firmly fixed on April, May and June. Yet here are the Bulls, gutting out the preseason, nailing down that top defensive rating (87.9 points per 100 possessions) for what it's worth.
"You're building winning habits all season long," Thibodeau had said before tipoff Friday. "If you try to establish your habits when you get to the playoffs, I don't know what you get done there. It's too late."
Afterward, in vintage Thibs form, he offered a glimpse at those habits: "Each and every day is important. You can't skip a day. You can't only work when you feel like it, if you feel good. You have to work on the days when you're not feeling great. You've got to help push the team forward. And everyone has to work together."
The rap remains, though, that Chicago players log too many minutes in meaningless stretches until they get hurt and aren't logging any minutes at all.
"Right now, that seems to be what everyone says," Thibodeau said. "So like, when a guy plays 20 minutes a game and he gets hurt, does anyone say he got hurt because he's not playing enough? Injuries are part of the game. You have to do all the things necessary to condition yourself to go through a long season. it's very competitive. When you look at the makeup of teams, a guy like LeBron [James], a guy like [Kevin] Durant, a guy like Paul George, they're going to play big minutes. Most teams, two or three guys are playing a long time."
Never mind that he-pulls-a-knife-you-pull-a-gun thing from the movie. With the Bulls, the Chicago way is grinding down the competition. And sometimes oneself.
"I only know one system, that's Thibs' system," Gibson said. "Where guys tend to want to be out there. Guys want to go out there and keep playing. It could be a flaw – who knows? But right now, we just focus on what we think. We don't really worry about what the whole league thinks."
It made sense that Rose played heavy minutes this preseason – he'd been out for 17 months, he was healed and fresh and he needed to get in game shape and flake off rust. That led logically to teammates playing longer, too, to adjust to Rose's game and speed.
But as players go down and come back, there's a chasing-their-tail element, too. For instance, Thibodeau has made it clear that the rotation guys will need to work in Noah's game – the play-making center – when he returns. So Deng, Boozer, Butler et al will face extra burn for that. And so on.
Deng, who played banged-up last season until complication from a spinal tap made even that impossible in the playoffs, loves heavy minutes … at least when he's surviving them. Taking all 82 games seriously in search of the No. 1 overall postseason seed is a worthy goal, he said.
But losing it after one or two rounds is true Gift of the Magi stuff, if they're undermanned by the time they get there. So how do the Bulls find their balance?
"I don't know," Deng admitted. "It's a long season. We've got to do a better job ourselves. The trainers are doing a better job of just focusing on that, on each individual. Derrick is doing an amazing job. Jo is in there. It's also maturing and taking care of your body.
"We've got to be healthy when it comes to April and then get going. I think we understand that even more now."
Then, as he spoke to a small cluster of reporters late Friday, Deng's tone shifted.
"It's different for everybody. I believe that it's good for me. I've been through different coaches. I've been with coaches who didn't practice as much, I've been with coaches who didn't push you as much. I think some guys suffer from it and I think some individuals really excel from it. … I don't know if we're there yet to give guys three days off and come back. I don't know – we never tried it."
Turns out, though the reporters had their backs turned, Deng had seen Thibodeau walk into the nearly empty locker room to grab a cold drink. The Bulls veteran finally broke out laughing.
"You saw how I answered that when he walked in?" Deng said. "'He's the nicest guy ever. The nicest guy in the world!' "
Laughing about their grinding ways, like winning, is OK in October. But it would mean so much more if Deng and the Bulls could do that come June.

HuffPost Live had a discussion segment based on a piece I wrote a couple of weeks ago about the racist BusinessWeek cover that depicted greedy minority borrowers raking in fistfuls of cash from "liar loans."
The session included a mistreated homeowner named Rose McGee; Anthony Newby from Occupy Homes in Minnesota; libertarian Anthony Randazzo, Director of Economic Research at the Reason Foundation; and a (very jetlagged) me. Here's the video.
It was a moving discussion, especially with Rose, who's been through so much and now has to endure being demonized. That demonization takes at least three forms – mistreatment by the banks, ostracism and judgmental reactions from people around her, and bigoted stereotypes like the BusinessWeek cover.
Anthony Newby's group is doing great work. Rose is brave, articulate, and inspiring.
And Randazzo is well-informed, very smart, and extremely likeable. That's how it is with some libertarians: They're terrific, until that moment when they're totally off. It's like dating somebody new who seems like Mr. or Ms. Right until the third date, when they start talking about the aliens …
Take a look.

Abe Garfield helps make the exhibitions at San Francisco's airport worth the trip.
On a misty morning, as travelers hurry through San Francisco International Airport, one man pauses to inspect a map. Abe Garfield isn't lost, and even if he were, this map wouldn't help him much. Drawn in 1782, it depicts North America as seen by French explorers: A stretch of southern coastline resembles the Florida peninsula; an inland sea in the northwest splits the continent.
"These give us an interesting glimpse of how the world was viewed at a different time" Garfield says. He gestures at another map, one showing California as an island, a common notion 300 years ago. "Well," he says, smiling, "I suppose there are people who still regard California as an island today."
With that, he moves on to a display of teapots. In any given week, Garfield logs more hours at SFO than the most frequent of fliers. He's not involved with the takeoffs and arrivals—but he likes to improve the way people spend their time waiting for them.
At 53, Garfield is the curator of exhibitions at the San Francisco Airport Museums. A pioneering program begun in 1980, it was the brainchild of Elsa Cameron, then curator of education at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. The idea was to make the time that travelers spend at the airport entertaining and engaging while contributing to a positive impression of San Francisco.
"It's a wonderful program run by people who know how to capture the attention of those who have a lot of things on their mind other than art," says Susan Pontious, deputy program director at the San Francisco Arts Commission. "They are the kind of exhibits that merit a trip to the airport even if you don't have to catch a flight."
Although other arts programs have since emerged at airports around the country, SFO's remains among the most ambitious, and it is the only one accredited by the American Association of Museums. In a dozen spaces throughout SFO's four terminals, Garfield and his colleagues mount shows ranging form Egyptian artifacts to White House china, from Roman marbles to colonial maps.
Garfield was raised in a Massachusetts family with closer ties to politics than to museums: One great-grand-father James Garfield was the country's 20th president. Abe Garfield views his pedigree with some detachment. "He was not a major player," he says of his ancestor. "Today, most people think of Garfield the cat."
After attending Boston University, where he studied both Renaissance art and religion, Garfield migrated to San Francisco, landing a job at the airport in 1986. At that time, the program was regarded with skepticism by many curators, but it soon gained respect. "I've had collectors ask, 'How can you do justice to my collection in an airport?'" Garfield says. "Then they see what actually goes on here and they realize we can."
Airport museum curators face different pitfalls—and different possibilities—from those at conventional museums. Garfield does play to a built-in audience (93,000 people move through the airport on an average day), but he seldom knows how much that audience cares. "One way to tell is by talking with the custodians," he says. "They tell me how many smudges they have to clean off the glass."
Exhibits must be interesting to travelers who just breeze through the terminal, but absorbing enough to satisfy those trapped in a long delay. Subjects vary widely (Japanese folk art, the history of cuisine), but certain topics, such as war and drugs, are off-limits. Despite the precautions, boundaries are hard to gauge. An exhibition of neckties drew fire on the grounds that it was, in the opinion of some critics, too malecentric.
Travelers can see most displays before passing through security checkpoints, but the largest are in the United Airlines corridor beyond the metal detectors. One recent morning Garfield strolled through the United area, admiring an exhibit on the Hetch Hetchy Valley, now a huge and controversial reservoir. A few paces ahead, a man with a carry-on slung over his shoulder had stopped beside a picture of the reservoir's dam. Garfield looked pleased. The moment reminded him of a letter he received from a man in France, complimenting the museum on an exhibit about bookbinding. "The man wound up getting so engrossed that he missed his flight," Garfield said. "But he made a point of telling us, 'It was worth it.' "

MA Degree Program
The Anthropology faculty in the Department of Comparative Cultural Studies offers a Master of Arts. The program is a thesis track which is designed primarily for students who plan to pursue the Ph.D. degree, plan to teach at the junior or community college level, or work as applied anthropologists.
The MA requires the completion of 30 semester hours of graduate level course work with a cumulative standing of 3.0/(B) or better, plus 6 hours of thesis (making a total of 36 semester hours earned), and satisfactory completion of the MA Comprehensive Examination. The 30 hours of course work may include 6 graduate-level hours outside the department, if judged pertinent by the student's thesis committee chair. Major areas of study are cultural anthropology, archaeology, and physical anthropology, with a program interest in Latin America/the Caribbean and medical anthropology in all subdisciplines.
Cultural anthropologists are committed to learning about cultures/subcultures with a view towards understanding central values, assumptions and patterned behaviors; comparative cultural analysis is encouraged. Current interests within the department include Mayan identity and tourism in Central America, and youth culture, the life course and verbal performance art in West Africa gender relations, diaspora and religious history, as well as sexuality and citizenship..
For medical anthropology, there is research on diabetes in the Hispanic population of Houston and inquiry into associations linking race/ethnicity with health, chronic diseases, and opportunities for medical treatment.
Archaeological investigations focus on U.S. and Mesoamerican populations. There are numerous opportunities to study historical archaeology as it relates to the reconstruction of both rural and urban lives in the 19th century in and around the Houston area. Active research also includes examination of coastal shell middens, plantation archaeology, foraging adaptations and use of microcomputer application in Archaeology, such as, database, mapping, GIS, and CAD.
Physical anthropology emphasizes human osteology and biomedical research. Investigations in these areas have far-ranging interests from analysis of Mayan skeletal remains in Copan, Honduras, to the social-cultural and nutritional factors implicit in the AIDS epidemic in Africa.

Everyone knows that boy's are not the most neatest people in the world— so with me having 3 plus my husband– it's a must that my boy's help out around the house.
Here's how I keep them in order– I made this simple little chore chart using Word ( old school– no need to pull out the high tech programs) :)
This is for my 6 year old– simple and to the point. Their charts are attached to a clip board and hung next to their landing station. Each day they go through each task and check off once completed. After I do my mama inspection– I then add their beans to their reward jars ( 6 beans for each chore completed)
So how do you do it? Do your little ones have chores– if so– how do you keep track of it?

Print Service is Ready to Roll
We are excited to announce a new feature you are sure to love! Capture Wisconsin photographers can now sell their photos! Folks looking for Wisconsin art to hang on their walls can fulfill their heart's desire right here at Capture Wisconsin.
We want to help Capture Wisconsin photographers succeed and helping photographers sell prints is one way we can achieve that goal. As Capture Wisconsin grows and we publish future products, Capture Wisconsin photographers are exposed to more and more people interested in Wisconsin art. The result? Local folks buying local art from local photographers. It's a win-win!
Users have been asking for this feature for some time, so we are thrilled to show you how it works and get all of our Capture Wisconsin photographers their own store so they can start selling their photos (and making some money). Before we jump into the how-to, here are a few details of the print service to give you a better idea of what's involved.
First, our print service partner is Fotomoto. They've created a great system that handles the entire process so all a photographer needs to do is opt-in and set prices for various print types and sizes. The great part is, it's free to setup a store and photographers keep the profits from the sale of their photos (after print costs and transactional fees).
Fotomoto's system is built for photographers. Photographers can choose to offer specific types of products like fine-art prints, e-cards, commercially-licensed downloads, and so on, and photographers set the price for each size and each type of product. Photographers can even offer limited-editions or create promotions to "sell" photos at cost! This means photographers are in complete control of their photography and have the opportunity to make money on their work.
If you want to get your store setup, read on for the step-by-step. It's super simple and you don't have to re-upload any files or worry about credit-card processing, shipments, customer support, etc. Fotomoto handles everything!
So you want to sell your photos? Great! Here's how to get started...
Step 1: On your user settings page (under You->Settings), you'll see a block labeled photo store. Click I want to sell photos to learn more and get the ball rolling.
Step 2: Next, read up on the details of opening a store. Once you understand how it works, click agree and enable store. This sends a request to Fotomoto, our print partner, to get your account created in their system.
Step 3: You'll see a flash at the top of the page that lets you know your store has been enabled. Yay!
Step 4: Check your email! Fotomoto will send you an email with instructions on how to enable your account. The email will be sent to the email address associated with your Capture Wisconsin account and it will be from email@example.com. Once you get it, click on the activation link.
Step 5: Clicking on the activation link in the email sent to you by Fotomoto will take you to fotomoto.com where you are asked to set your password. This does not need to match your Capture Wisconsin password as the account you are creating on Fotomoto is completely separate from your Capture Wisconsin account.
Step 6: Once you've set your Fotomoto password and logged into your Fotomoto account, poke around to get comfortable with your account settings. It would be a good idea to read up on how to set pricing for your photos. You can also set which types of products you want to sell (prints, e-cards, downloads, etc.).
Step 7: You might notice Fotomoto doesn't have any of your images to sell yet. Don't fret! Your photos will show up in your Fotomoto account as people view your Capture Wisconsin photos. When anyone visits your photo's page, a small version of your photo is submitted to Fotomoto for inclusion in your store. When someone places an order for one of your photos, your original-size photo will be sent from our servers to Fotomoto behind the scenes, securely. You can try it for yourself if you'd like. Look for the buy it button on one of your photo's pages.
Step 8: Tell your friends and family they can now order your photos on Capture Wisconsin! Learn how Fotomoto pays you, then sit back and wait for the orders to start rolling in!

There are three topics that I am particularly interested in, which got a lot of attention at this years ICML: Neural networks, feature expansion and kernel approximation, and Structured prediction.
But first:
Making a Science of Model Search: Hyperparameter Optimization in Hundreds of Dimensions for Vision Architectures
This is the newest in a series of papers by James Bergstra on hyperparamter optimization. I quite enjoy his work and his hyperopt software is in active use in my lab. In particular in computer vision applications, there is so much engineering, that it is very hard to separate research contributions from engineering contributions. This paper shows 1) how important engineering is and 2) how far automatization of the engineering part can really go.
Neural NetworksNow, let's come to the somewhat most unlikely candidate, neural networks.
They gained a lot of attention in the more machine-learny circles in the last couple of years. Still I was a bit surprised how many - in particular very empirical papers - made it to ICML.

The Harford County Department of Emergency Services recently presented Jack Marshall Dempsey, 10, with a Gold 911 award in recognition of his prompt but ill-fated efforts to save the life of his grandfather.
On the morning of April 1, Jack found his grandfather, Alfred "Ted" Marshall slumped in a chair. The boy immediately called 911 to report his grandfather's condition in an attempt to save his life. Unfortunately, Mr. Marshall had sustained a massive heart attack and later died at the hospital.
As a result of his call to the Harford County 911 Center, in an effort to get urgent medical assistance for his grandfather, Jack was nominated for the Gold 911 award by Nicole Cecchini, a friend of the family.
On June 10, the Department of Emergency Services publicly recognized Jack Dempsey at his school, Bel Air Elementary, for his "bravery and heroic efforts," according to a press release from the Harford County Department of Emergency Services. During the brief ceremony, the youth was presented with a Gold 911 award and a Certificate of Recognition from County Executive David R. Craig.
Kim Stritzinger, public safety dispatcher III and public educator, represented the Harford County Department of Emergency Services and the county executive at the brief recognition ceremony at Bel Air Elementary School.

MOMS IN LOVE, volume 43
Wendy Brandes writes: "My father took this picture of my mother, Barbara, while they were still dating in the mid '60s. I love the ruffles on the sleeves."
You know when all of a sudden, the most ordinary moment becomes blindingly beautiful and you need to rip your shirt open, or plunge into an ice cold pool, or take a picture at the exact right millisecond to show the world how warm it all feels, and amazingly you do? I see Wendy's dad shaking his head. He knows what I'm talking about.

The Costa Mesa City Council on Tuesday is scheduled to discuss a hookah lounge moratorium, a proposed Westside condominium project, a cost-recovery ordinance and enforcement against problematic rehabilitation homes.
Officials also will revisit an increasingly contentious topic — whether to tack all but 10 public comments on items not on the council agenda onto the end of the meeting or whether to allow them all at the start.
Hookah lounges
Last month, after receiving the Planning Commission's recommendation to do so, the council voted to place a 45-day moratorium on new hookah lounges within the city. City staffers are now recommending that the moratorium be extended further, by no longer than 10 months and 15 days.
The extension would allow more time to study rules for the smoking establishments, including zoning regulations. City officials are attempting to alleviate quality-of-life concerns related to the parlors, including secondhand smoke, excessive noise and code-enforcement activity.
The moratorium is not expected to affect the three existing parlors — Bublyz Hookah Lounge, 3303 Bristol St.; Harbor Hookah Lounge, 440 Fair Drive; and Sultana Hookah Lounge, 698 W. 19th St.
Westside condo project
The condo development at 573-591 Victoria St. would replace 27 apartments with 37 detached, three-story town homes. The 2.28-acre property is zoned for medium density.
Council members plan to provide feedback on the project. They will not provide any precedent for final approval or denial of the development, however, city staff said.
Cost-recovery law
The "excessive use of resources" ordinance targets motels that "utilize a substantial amount" of city resources, particularly code enforcement and emergency police services, according to city documents.
The council last discussed the cost-recovery ordinance Nov. 5. One city official called it a "good first start" in the effort of raising accountability at motel properties.
"In a sense, this is a way to get motel owners to be a little bit more responsible and responsive to solving their own problems and not having our Police Department act, literally, as a security guard for their issues," Assistant CEO Rick Francis said during the Nov. 5 meeting.
Rehabilitation homes
To give the city a boost in its legal defense against noncompliant rehab homes, the council will give its final vote on changing some zoning code language.
The change would give a more full-bodied definition of what's officially called a "single housekeeping unit."
The change, if approved, would come after a judge ruled against the city in a case involving code enforcement action taken against a Mesa North home. The judge, according to city documents, called Costa Mesa's definition of a single housekeeping unit "legally indefensible."
The property, according to its operator, Patricia Bintliff, was functioning as an "alternative family environment."
Bintliff told the Planning Commission in October that the house was hosting 11 girls and had 14 beds.
It was never used as a treatment center for drug or alcohol addiction, or "a facility of any kind," she said.
On Nov. 5, the council voted 4 to 0 in favor of the ordinance. Councilwoman Wendy Leece was absent, having left the meeting early.
Public comments
The council will also examine the changes Mayor Jim Righeimer instituted a few weeks ago regarding public comment on non-agenda items.
Righeimer, using his mayoral authority, changed the commenting procedure for a maximum of 10 randomly chosen people to talk at the beginning of meetings.
Those not picked could speak at the end of the meeting, after the public hearings and other matters are dealt with.
The changes aroused the concern of some on the council and the ire of City Hall regulars, who often comment throughout the meetings.
Righeimer has contended that his changes are designed to speed up the decision-making process, which could bring the public hearings and other decisions before the public at an earlier hour.
The changes "will give more balance to make sure things stay on track," Righeimer said.
The council has "to balance out speech for everybody," he said, including the people who wait hours just to speak on a particular issue.
Rehearing issues
Lastly, the council is poised to give its second vote to finalize striking the city's rehearing procedure from the books. On Nov. 5, the council voted 3 to 1 to do so, with Councilwoman Sandy Genis dissenting. Leece was absent.
The rehearing allows the council to reexamine its decisions if new and relevant information is discovered later on. It supplements Costa Mesa's other appeal procedures.
Righeimer contended that few other cities have such a rehearing procedure, and that appeals should be taken to a higher body, not the one the made the original decision.
Genis, who has asked for a few rehearings throughout the year, countered Righeimer's sentiment.
"I do think there is room for rehearings when there is new, relevant information," she said.

CPAN Minus Makes Managing Perl Modules Easier
CPAN Minus Makes Managing Perl Modules Easier
It's not easy cracking an oyster open to get to the Perl, but Perl modules are often hard to avoid, and the standard CPAN certainly complicates things further. CPAN Minus makes managing them easier, as ServerWatch explains.
Perl may not be the hot topic, but that doesn't mean that admins don't need to worry about Perl modules. However, the standard CPAN shell can sometimes be a bit much to manage. If that's the case, consider switching to CPAN Minus.
What's CPAN Minus (or "cpanm" if you prefer the caps-challenged version) for? Installing CPAN modules, period. It can get, unpack, build, and install Perl modules from CPAN -- but it can't do any of the other stuff the CPAN shell can do. It's meant to require zero configuration, and it runs as a stand-alone application.
You can get cpanm a couple of ways -- some distros may already package it. If not, you can follow the installation instructions or grab it from Github and install it that way.

Watch This Wheelchair-Bound Dude Step In During a Robbery [VIDEO]
Being stuck in a wheelchair would give a person a pretty good reason not to intervene while a convenience store robbery is in progress. However, the crime fighter in this video wasn't going to let his handcap be an excuse from playing Batman.
Instead, when he spots a man go behind the counter and reach for the cash register he wheels to the aid of the clerk, puts the would-be thief in a headlock, and then uses his upper-body strength to wrestle him to the ground.
After being taken down, the foiled criminal's humiliation continues when a third man enters the fray and imparts some vigilante justice by way of a 'Slippery When Wet' sign.
Check out an inspiring hero and a bad guy who had a very bad day below.

Student Spotlight: Deb Bayless
Deb Bayless
Major: Interior Design
Deb Bayless earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Government, but her life-long love was for interior design.
"From the time I was little, I have been rearranging rooms, displaying art and creating vignettes," she said. "For me, living in serene and orderly surroundings provides comfort. It's a natural extension, then, that creating a lovely home leads to a better life."
Through her sister, Bayless discovered College of DuPage.
"She raved about the level of instruction while sharpening her math and accounting skills," she said. "So, once my kids were busy with school all day, I started getting my feet wet. I found COD offered a program in Interior Design which was affordable and convenient."
Bayless started by pursuing a broad range of courses in the Interior Design program, beginning with drafting and other fundamentals on up through major design projects in residential and universal design. Ultimately, she completed three certificates: Computer Applications, Lighting, and Kitchen and Bath Design.
"Kitchens and baths and, in particular, cabinetry are very specialized. As a student in kitchen and bath classes, I came to understand that this is a whole different animal within interior design," she said. "Elements of design like scale, proportion and symmetry still matter, but the logistics of cabinet openings and appliances complicate things.
"Also, the way in which we prepare meals and live in our spaces, including the kitchen, has changed dramatically over the last couple of generations. Many homes still reflect the thinking and architecture of past generations – not that this is all bad - but are in need of updating.
"Being drawn to lovely interiors did not necessarily mean kitchens and baths in my design foray. However, I have always felt it important to surround ourselves with what brings us joy. It is not about the price tag or status symbol, but about feeling calmer and relating to one another better."
Bayless has received full certification as a kitchen designer through the National Kitchen and Bath Association and earned her CBD as a certified bath designer. She initially worked as a designer with the Kitchen Studio of Glen Ellyn before starting her own studio, Design for Keeps, in Glen Ellyn. She has now moved to California, registered with the Northern California Chapter of the NKBA and is building up her business.
Bayless is thankful to College of DuPage for helping her achieve her goals.
"To have instructors with experience in the world of design made all the difference," she said. "For anyone making a career decision, it is especially meaningful to participate in assignments that are reflective of projects encountered every day.
"I consider myself fortunate to be able to say I find my work not only challenging but enjoyable. It is very gratifying to bring a vision to life for a client. My goal is to continue to bring the same satisfaction to others as they make their homes a place for family and friends.
"Dragging my teenage son up and down side streets on a trip to Berlin in search of the Hackesche Höfe and its Art Nouveau tilework, I found myself defending the need for design. 'Design is important,' I adamantly explained, 'because it leads to better use and a better state of mind.' Well-thought design – as I like to say, 'percolated' design – is not only good, it's important."

Highly concentrated pearlescent and iridescent colors that have incredible strength and power. Perlacryl shades are non-blocking, elastic, scratch-resistant, and water-resistant, making them ideal for a variety of media applications.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
carbazole dioxazine
Dioxazine Violet is transparent and has very high tinting strength. It is a staining pigment, very dark valued when it is used at full strength. Concentrated, it paints out nearly black, but it mixes with Titanium White to form bright, opaque tints of purple. PV23 produces slightly redder shades than PV37. Because the hue can vary with the conditions of preparation and grinding, it may be offered in red shade, blue shade, and so forth.
Dioxazine Violet has good lightfastness. There may be some concern about it fading or shifting in color in tints and washes. Some artists have reported that PV37, a molecular variant, is more lightfast than PV23.
Two molecular variants of Dioxazine Violet, PV23 and PV37, are available. They have similar properties, but mix slightly differently.
Dioxazine Purple, Chromothal Violet, Mauve, Carbazole Violet.
copper phthalocyanine
Phthalo Blues are pure and clean primary blues with superior covering power. They have a very high tinting strength and tend to overwhelm other pigments, but if color strength can be controlled, they make predictable mixed colors. In oil form, blues are very deep and slow drying. When mixed with other colors or if chlorine is added, Phthalo Blue quickly tends towards green. When using alone, mix with some white, as Phthalo Blue can be semi-transparent and almost black on its own. It is among the most compatible of modern colors with mineral colors and is considered more reliable than Prussian Blue, while sharing the same physical and color properties. Phthalo Blue is a good color for glazing.
Phthalo Blues are completely lightfast and stable and are permanent for all paint uses. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Blues have no significant hazards, although those made before 1982 contained some PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).
Developed by chemists using the trade name Monastral Blue, the organic blue dyestuff now known as Phthalo Blue was presented as a pigment in November 1935 in London. Its discovery was accidental. The dark color was observed in a kettle where a dye was being made from a British dyestuff plant. The demand for such a pigment came from commercial printers who wanted a cyan to replace Prussian Blue.

War is associated with horrendous civilian deaths, notably of women and children. 24 April is Armenian Genocide Day that commemorates the beginning of the World War 1 Armenian Genocide (1.5 million Armenians killed). The Armenian Genocide was precipitated by several months of months of shelling that culminated in the 25 April 1915 Allied invasion of Turkey in the Dardanelles at Gallipoli led by the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), this being commemorated in Australia and New Zealand as Anzac Day.
The Gallipoli Campaign (aka the Dardanelles Campaign, Battle of Gallipoli or the Battle of Çanakkale) was dreamed up by racist, imperialist and warmonger Winston Churchill and was a disaster for all concerned. The British, with an eye on the oil-rich Ottoman Empire, had tricked Turkey into entering WW1 on the side of Germany. According to the Australian Department of Veterans Affairs, the Allied casualties totaled 44,000 dead (21,300 British, 10,000 French, 8,700 Australian, 2,700 New Zealand and 1,400 Indian) and 97,000 wounded, while the Turkish casualties totaled 87,000 dead and 165,000 wounded (Google "Gallipoli Campaign").
For the Turks the Battle of Gallipoli was a successful heroic defense of their country from foreign invaders. For the Armenians the invasion of Gallipoli marked the beginning of the Armenian Genocide by Turks whose xenophobia was exacerbated by Allied attacks by British and French Empire forces in the West and Russian forces in the East. The Armenian Genocide wiped out most of the Armenian population of Turkish Anatolia. However for Australia this was a major blooding of Australian manhood and Anzac Day has become a sacred day that commemorates the approximately 100,000 Australians who have died in war, nearly all in foreign wars in which Australia was allied to Britain and, from WW2 onwards, allied to the US.
Gallipoli has been held up by the Australian Establishment as a glorious defeat that marked the beginning of Australia's nationhood. However while we remember the fallen with respect, Australia formally gained independence from British in 1901 and Australia's remarkable, world-leading social achievements of free, secular education, free trade unions, and universal suffrage preceded formal independence and are among the many positive things that should be celebrated about nascent Australia's unique contributions to the world. Indeed a large body of Irish Australians, cognizant of the crimes of British imperialism (most notably the 1845-1850 Irish Famine in which 1 million Irish were starved to death and 1.5 million were forced to emigrate ) successfully opposed conscription during WW1.
Some decades ago a small band of Australian women used to courageously demonstrate on Anzac Day about violence to women and children in war. However a Zionist- and US-assisted progressive shift to the right in Australia has seen a militarization of Australian culture with glorification rather than condemnation of war. Further, the increasingly horrendous civilian deaths in war have been resolutely ignored – nothing must be allowed to spoil the"official story".
The following is an analysis of civilian deaths in wars in which Australia has been involved. One must note at the outset that civilian deaths occur not just through violence but also from war-imposed deprivation (non-violent avoidable deaths) (for detailed analysis see Gideon Polya, "Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950").
1. War on Aborigines (1788-2012). The Australian aboriginal population dropped from about 1 million in 1788 to 0.1 million a century later through violence, deprivation and disease. Post-invasion avoidable deaths totaled 2 million post-1788. No peace treaty has been signed,
2. Tasmanian Aboriginal Genocide. The "full-blood" Indigenous population dropped from 6,000 to zero in the period 1803-1876; however there are several thousand "mixed race" descendants of Tasmanian and Mainland Aborigines still living in Tasmania today.
3. British Indian Genocide (Indian Holocaust). Australia was invaded to provide an eastern base in the British war against the French. Indian post-invasion excess deaths from British-imposed deprivation total 0.6 billion, 1757-1837, 0.5 billion, 1837-1901 under Queen Victoria, and 0.4 billion, 1901-1947, 1.5 billion in total and 1.8 billion victims of the carnage in various royalty-ruled Indian British Protectorate States are included.
4. European Chinese Genocide. Britain led the invasion of China, imposing Bengali opium on the Chinese by gun-boat diplomacy and victory in the 1839-1842 and 1856-1860 opium wars. In the period 1850-1864 there were 20-100 million deaths in the European imperialism-driven Tai Ping rebellion. Australia was involved in suppressing the Boxer rebellion in1898. About 35 million Chinese perished under Japanese occupation in the period 1937-1945, during which time Australia exported iron to Japan under pro-fascist Australian PM Robert Menzies (and hence the moniker "Pig Iron Bob"). Australia's first Prime Minister, the genocidal racist Edmund Barton, in debating what became popularly known as the White Australia Policy (that excluded non-Europeans from Australia) stated (1901): "The doctrine of the equality of man was never intended to apply to the equality of an Englishman and the Chinaman". More recently, Wikileaks has revealed that former PM Kevin Rudd had suggested to the Americans the course of war against China if it didn't play ball and that Australian Ambassador to Washington had offered Australian troops in such an eventuality.
5. Maori Wars. Australians participated in the Maori Wars. The New Zealand Maori population dropped from 0.1-0.2 million in 1800 to 42,000 in 1893. Australia was involved in the 19th century Maori wars.
6. African Genocide. Scores of million perished over 5 centuries of European slavery and colonialism. Australians participated in the Sudan War, 1881-1898 and more recently Australia urged the France-UK-US (FUKUS) Coalition intervention in Libya (0.1 million killed, 1.3 million refugees, mostly Black Libyans).
7. Pacific Genocide. Australia was involved in slave trading ("blackbirding") in the Pacific in the late 19th century. There was a catastrophic population decline due to introduced disease and slavery - thus 40,000 Fijians died from measles out of a population of 150,000 in 1876 after Ratu Cakobau and his sons had returned infected with the disease from a trip to Sydney. Australians were involved in the "5-year-slavery" Girmit system that brought Indian "slaves" to work on Fiji sugar plantations in the period 1879-1920.
8. Boer War and Boer (Afrikaner) Genocide (1899-1902). 28,000 Afrikaner women and children died in British concentration camps. Australians participated in the Boer War and in Boer War crimes as set out in the movie "Breaker Morant".
9. Gallipoli Campaign and Armenian Genocide. 1.5 million Armenians were killed in the Armenian Genocide that was triggered by the Australian invasion of Gallipoli as part of an Anglo-French force in 1915. As stated above, April 24 is Armenian Genocide Day and April 25 is the day of the Australia invasion in 1915 and also a sacred war dead remembrance day for Australians and New Zealanders – it is called Anzac Day after the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) which stormed ashore on that first Anzac Day at Gallipoli in 1915).
10. Bengali Genocide (1942-1945). Australia was complicit in the British-imposed Bengal Famine in which 6-7 million Indians were starved to death by the British in Bengal and adjoining provinces in British India, 1942-1945. Australians were there in NE India and indeed the Governor of Bengal in 1944 was an Australian, Richard Casey. Australia was complicit by withholding its huge wheat stores from starving India at the behest of racist and genocidal UK PM Winston Churchill. The Bengal Famine was associated with horrendous sexual abuse of starving women and girls (notably by the British Military Labor Corps) on a scale commensurate with the comfort women" abuses of the Japanese Army. (see Chapter 14, "The Bengal Famine of 1943-1944" in Gideon Polya, "Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History")
11. British post-1950 Third World Genocide. 1950-2005 excess deaths in countries subject to British occupation as a major occupier in the post-war era totaled 727 million (see Chapter 3 in Gideon Polya, "Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950" ). Australia has the same Head of State as the UK and was a loyal military ally of the UK in Occupied Iraq and Occupied Afghanistan.
12. US post-1950 Third World Genocide. 1950-2005 excess deaths in countries subject to US occupation as a major occupier in the post-war era totaled 82 million. Australia participated in all post-1950 US Asian Wars in Korea, Indo-China, Iraq and Afghanistan with Indigenous Asian violent deaths and excess deaths from war-imposed deprivation now totaling 38 million).
13. Australia's own overseas Colonial Genocide. 1950-2005 excess deaths in countries subject to Australian occupation as a major occupier in the post-war era, namely Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, totaled 2.1 million.
14. 20th and 21st century Aboriginal Genocide. Total excess deaths were clearly of the order of 1 million in the last century. About 0.1 million Stolen Generations Aboriginal children were forcibly removed from their mothers in the 19th and 20th centuries, the genocidal practice only ending in the1970s. Excess Aboriginal deaths in the 11 years of the Howard Coalition Government (1996-2007) totaled about 90,000.
15. Palestinian Genocide. Australian troops of the Anzac Mounted Division started the Palestinian Genocide when they massacred 137 inhabitants of the Palestinian village of Surafend near Beersheba in reprisals for a Bedouin thief shooting a New Zealand sergeant. The village was burned down and the matter hushed up (see "The Surafend Affair", Wikipedia; "New Book uncovers dark episode near Beersheba", ABC 7.30 Report, 28 July 2007; and Paul Daley "Beersheba: A Journey Through Australia's Forgotten War"). Australians were involved in massacring Egyptian pro-democracy activists in 1919. Australia's first Australian-born Governor-General and distinguished Jewish Australian Sir Isaac Isaacs was dead opposed to Zionism, stating in 1946 that "The honor of Jews throughout the world demands the renunciation of political Zionism" (see Sir Isaac Isaacs, quoted by Wikipedia,"Isaac Isaacs"). However a combination of financial support to political parties and virulent defamation of anti-racists (including anti-racist Jews) that continues to this day has meant that the major political parties, Labor Party and the Liberal –National Party Coalition, strongly support US-backed Apartheid Israel even when it commits terrorist atrocities against Australians. Since 1936 about 0.1 million Palestinians have been violently killed and 1.9 million have died from war-, occupation- and expulsion-imposed deprivation. In the Occupied Palestinian Territories post-1967 excess deaths total 0.3 million, post-1967 under-5 infant deaths total 0.2 million and there are 7 million Palestinian refugees. With bi-partisan agreement, pro-Zionist Australia provides diplomatic, financial and haven support for Israeli state terrorism – even when directed against tens of thousands of Australian citizens as in Lebanon in mid-2006 - and up to life imprisonment for anyone giving support to the Hamas Party that overwhelmingly won the 2006 Occupied Palestinian elections, winning 76 out of 132 seats. Donations towards the Palestinian Genocide are tax deductible in Australia, whereas a donation to a Gaza Concentration Camp orphanage could attract up to life imprisonment under Australia's draconian, Islamophobic anti-terrorism laws (Google "Palestinian Genocide").
16. Korean War. Australia committed troops the US Korean War of whom 340 died. The Korean War was associated with military deaths totaling 0.7 million (South Korea), 37,000 (USA), 0.5 million (North Korea) and 0.2 million (China). Violent civilian deaths totaled as high as 3.0 million. However avoidable deaths from war-imposed deprivation totaled about 1.0 million. For an honest American account of the Korean War see "The Secret History of the Korean War" by I.F. Stone.
17. Indo-China War. Australia committed troops t the Indo-China war as part of its "insurance policy" for future US military support and 520 died. The Indo-China War was associated with violent civilian deaths totaling up to 4 million (Vietnam), 0.6 million (Cambodia.) and 0.2 million (Laos). Military dead included 0.3 million (South Vietnam), 58,000 (US) and 1.2 million (North Vietnam). However avoidable deaths from war-imposed deprivation totaled 11.9 million (Vietnam), 3.9 million (Cambodia) and 1.1 million (Laos). The bombing of Cambodia ultimately led to the Cambodian Genocide in which 1.5 million people were killed.
18. Iraq Sanctions War, Gulf War, Iraq War and Iraqi Genocide. Australia was involved in the Gulf War and Sanctions War against Iraq (1990-2003) and invaded Iraq in 2003. Post-1990 Iraqi violent deaths totaled 1.7 million, avoidable deaths from deprivation totaled 2.9 million for a total of 4.6 million violent deaths plus excess deaths from war-imposed deprivation, 1990-2012. Since 1990 under-5 infant deaths totaled 2.0 million (90% avoidable and due to US Alliance war crimes) and there have been 5-6 million refugees. 3 Australian servicemen died (Google "Iraqi Holocaust, Iraqi Genocide").
19. Afghan War and Afghan Genocide. Australia has been a participant in the Afghan War (2001-2012) as in all other post-1950 US Asian wars. The Afghan War has been associated with 5.6 million post-invasion deaths (1.4 million violent deaths plus 4.2 million excess deaths from war-imposed deprivation), 2.9 million post-invasion under-5 infant deaths (90% avoidable and due to US Alliance war crimes in gross violation of the Geneva Convention) and 3-4 million refugees. 2.5 million Pashtun refugees were generated by US war in NW Pakistan, noting that 0.9 million Pakistanis die avoidably every year from deprivation-related causes and Pakistan has been devastated for 2 years in succession by massive floods that directly impacted 20 million people. Australia was involved militarily in the Afghan War since 2001 and 32 Australian soldiers have been killed. In contrast, 12 million Muslims have been killed violently or from war-imposed deprivation since 1990 in the Australia- and Zionist-backed US War on Muslims. The Afghan War is part of an Australia-complicit US Asian Genocide - Australia has been involved in all post-1950 US Asian wars, wars that have been associated so far with about 40 million violent deaths plus deaths from war-imposed deprivation, the breakdown being 5.2 million (Korea), 15.3 million (Vietnam), 1.2 million (Laos), 6.0 million (Cambodia, including the Cambodian Genocide), 4.6 million (Iraq), Palestine (0.3 million), 5.6 million (Afghanistan) i.e. about 38 million, much greater than the number of Slavs, Jews and Gypsies murdered by the Nazis in WW2 (Google "Afghan Holocaust, Afghan Genocide").
20- War on Drugs. Australia is involved in the phony US War on Drugs. Annual Australian deaths from drugs include 15,500 smoking-related deaths , 3,000 alcohol-related deaths, and 360 (opiate drug-related deaths annually due to Australia-complicit US restoration of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry that has so far been associated with 1 million deaths world-wide, 200,000 American deaths, 18,000 British deaths and 3,700 Australian deaths. Yet smoking and alcohol are legal in Australia and Australia spends about $2 billion each year on its involvement in the Afghan War that imposes a deadly scourge of 100,000 opiate drug-related deaths annually on the world.
21. War on Terror and 66,000 Australian preventable deaths. annually. Since 2001 US lackey Australia has spent about $30 billion on anti-terrorism, measures (see Ross Gittins, "A vast cost in feeling just a little more secure", Sydney Morning Herald, National Times, 14 September 2011In addition Australia has spent about $20 billion on the Iraq War and the Afghan War, and all this notwithstanding expert science, engineering, architecture, aviation, military and intelligence advice that the US did 9-11, quite likely with Israeli assistance Google "Experts: US did 9-11"). Yet each year about 66,000 Australians die preventable, lives that could potentially be saved due to better medical services including better social assistance, education and preventive medicine, the breakdown being 18,000 (annual Australian deaths from adverse hospital events), 15,500 (smoking), 10,000 carbon burning pollution-derived ), 9.000 (avoidable Indigenous Australian deaths), 6,000 obesity-related), 3,000 ( alcohol-related), 2,100 (suicides), 1,400 (road deaths), 360 (opiate drug-related deaths annually due to US restoration of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry) and 300 (homicides). With 9,000 excess Indigenous deaths annually and over 100,000 excess deaths in the last dozen years of pro-war Coalition or Labor rule, there have more avoidable Indigenous deaths so far in the 21st century than Australian military deaths in all wars (Google "Aboriginal Genocide" ). .
22. War on Terra. Australia is a world leader in annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution that threatens the world with a climate genocide that is a predicted to kill 10 billion people this century due to unaddressed, man-made climate change (Google "Climate Genocide") . Thus in 2009 the WBGU which advises the German Government on climate change estimated that for a 75% chance of avoiding a 2C temperature rise (EU policy; would you board a plane with a 25% chance of crashing?), the world must emit no more than 600 billion tones of CO2 between 2010 and zero emissions in 2050. Unfortunately Australia has already used up its "fair share" of the world's "terminal GHG pollution budget" and is effectively stealing the entitlement of other countries, including impoverished countries such as Somalia and Bangladesh (see Dr Gideon Polya, "Shocking analysis by country of years left to zero emissions", Green Blog, 1 August 2011). 18 million people die avoidably each year in the Developing World's minus China, but this is increasingly befoul-impacted (befoul genocide) as the legislatively-mandated US, UK and EU biofuel perversion forces up global food prices. Australia is a major sugar cane grower and sugar exporter with 60% of sugar going to bioethanol production worldwide, and Australia has biofuel-promoting legislation. In terms of "fossil fuel-derived annual per capita CO2 pollution" Australia is about 29 times worse than India and 71 times worse than Bangladesh if you include Australia's world leading coal exports.
Australia has been variously involved in British and thence American wars for over 2 centuries. However these wars have involved mass murder of huge numbers of Indigenous civilians. Thus Australia has been involved in all post-1950 US Asian wars, wars that have been associated so far with about 38 million violent deaths plus deaths from war-imposed deprivation, noting that most of these deaths have been of women and children Outstanding Jewish American scholar Professor Jared Diamond in his best-selling book "Collapse" (Prologue, p10, Penguin edition) enunciated the "moral principle, namely that it is morally wrong for one people to dispossess, subjugate, or exterminate another people" – an injunction grossly violated by racist Australian warmongers and their warmongering British, NATO, Apartheid Israeli and US associates. Neocon American and Zionist Imperialist (NAZI)-beholden Australia lead the charge for US-NATO military intervention in Libya (0.1 million deaths, 1.3 million refugees) and is a leader in world hostility to Iran and Syria... Australia recently permitted 2,500 child-killing US Marines to be based in Darwin (see "Hey, hey, USA, how many kids did you kill today? Answer: 1,000", Bellaciao, 1 May 2009) and has adumbrated greater use of Australian airfields and ports for the nuclear terrorist US war machine, including the possible conversion of the Indian Ocean Cocos-Keeling Islands paradise (halfway between India and Australia) into a US air force base for spying on and bombing Asian countries.
24 April (Armenian Genocide Day) and 25 April (Australian Anzac Day) illustrate Australia's secret genocide history and forgotten war history. The Armenian Genocide in which 1.5 million Armenians perished started the night before the Australian invasion of Gallipoli on 25 April 1915 that had been preceded by months of Allied shelling of the Dardanelles. Yet the connection between young Australia's most iconic war-time tragedy and the genocidal destruction of the ancient Armenian people is never made on Anzac Day in look-the-other-way, aren't-we-nice Australia in a continuing process of genocide ignoring and holocaust ignoring that is far, far worse than repugnant genocide denial and holocaust denial - at least denial admits the possibility of debate. Neocon Western warmongers are complicit in the mass murder of millions of women and children. Who is next – the Syrian women and children, the Iranian women and children …? Tell everyone you can about the horrendous civilian deaths associated with war.

When I was a kid, I used to like playing the male characters in games. If we were playing house, I'd be the father or the little brother. If we were playing our weird sexual experimentation game, I was always the boyfriend. Nobody else wanted to be those characters, so it worked out well. I desperately wanted to be able to pee standing up. I would always get in trouble for cutting my own hair, until my dad finally relented and just let me keep it short. I liked wearing my brother's old clothes, which worked out great for my parents, who didn't have to buy new clothes for me. I used to fantasize about one day growing a beard.
This continued for most of my childhood, until I was about 16. Then, I started growing my hair longer, and shopping in the girl's section. I began to experiment with makeup, and I started to like looking pretty. I grew out of my "weird tomboy phase" and became quite feminine. As an adult, I have always just attributed that to growing up in an abusive situation, and wanting to hide my femininity because it was a source of such unpleasantness.
But lately, I have been starting to dress in men's clothes more often. I love the way I look in them. It just feels so good, and I can't stop looking at myself in the mirror. I love having short hair again. I have been researching chest binders, though I don't think they're entirely practical for a chest of my size. Those stand-to-pee prosthetics look pretty cool. But I also still love wearing makeup and dresses, and looking sexy.
I'm not sure if I'm just reverting back to my old security blanket because I've had a lot of scary changes in my life, or if I've rediscovered a part of myself that I have kept suppressed for a long time. I'm also not sure if it's just a desire to fit in with all my trans friends, or just a weird fashion choice or something. I don't want to go around appropriating trans culture or something. I've been lying awake at night thinking about it, and it's getting to interfere with my ability to function during the day, so I had to talk about it somewhere. What do you guys think about all this?

Re: Experimenting with gender
That sounds very familiar to me. Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually a guy inside but the thing is I don't hate being female. I feel like if I had been born male I would be more comfortable in my own skin. But the fact that I wasn't doesn't bother me. I wish that gender wasn't a big deal in our cultures. I don't really have any advice for you because I'm in a very similar situation. Maybe you could try dressing like a guy for about a week and see how it makes you feel? You could still be a guy and sometimes like being pretty. There are many types of guys! But good luck figuring it out.
