About Glenda Leon
Trained in classical ballet, Cuban conceptual artist Glenda Leon creates video, installation, public interventions, and photography that examine the relationship between the man-made and the natural, often highlighting the folly of human timekeeping. As Leon has said, "it takes a whole lifetime to create an artwork." Her work Wasted Time consists of a mountain of sand that has engulfed an hourglass, and in the summer of 2004, the artist glued fake green leaves to tree branches in a public park for her work Esperanza (Out of Season). When the seasons changed, the surrounding leaves turned brown and fell to the ground, only then revealing their artificial counterparts.

STANFORD, Calif. -- It's one thing to know your program is getting closer to where it wants to be. It's another to find out just how far there still is to go.
USC looked the gap in the eye on Monday night at Maples Pavilion.
The Women of Troy might be off to their best conference start in four years, but this is still Stanford's league. And for the moment, USC is not in it.
Cynthia Cooper-Dyke's team came to The Farm with hope, a great run of play and a national television audience for the Pac-12's first ESPN2 Big Monday appearance looking to give the fourth-ranked Cardinal a game.
But the Women of Troy turned into just another team that can't keep up, losing 86-59.
"I don't know that it's discouraging," Cooper said. "We will see them again and we will see them at our place. For me, this was a measuring stick and there's still a lot of work to do. This will motivate us to practice harder and to get better."
Stanford is already there. The Cardinal, who have won 18 in a row since losing to Connecticut in the opening week of the season, moved into sole possession of first place in the Pac-12 heading into its Thursday-Sunday set against rival Cal.
Even in an improved Pac-12 that includes a handful of ranked teams, Stanford (19-1 overall, 8-0 Pac-12) is beating conference opponents by a margin of nearly 25 points.
USC couldn't buck that trend Monday because it couldn't hold down Chiney Ogwumike (30 points, 12 rebounds) and it couldn't hit enough shots to stay with Stanford's perimeter shooters. Five Cardinals scored in double figures. Only Ariya Crook and Cassie Harberts hit double digits for the Trojans (14-7, 7-2), who were 2-of-15 from beyond the 3-point arc.
"We came in knowing we were going to have to play a great game," Harberts said. "Coach did talk to us about this being a measuring stick and we took a couple of steps back tonight. I don't think we played as good a defense as we have been playing and we weren't very cohesive on offense."
Cooper-Dyke was troubled, in particular, by her team's defensive lapses. The Cardinal shot nearly 51 percent from the floor and hit seven 3-pointers.
"I asked them at halftime, 'If we are not on their 3-point shooters and we are not on Chiney inside, where exactly are we?'" Cooper-Dyke said. "Stanford played at a speed and a pace that we are not accustomed to and they were very efficient about finding the open player. I thought their ball movement was impeccable."
Cooper-Dyke, who has played basketball at every level, all over the world, knows all about playing at what she called "an elite pace." She knows that teams that play fast like Stanford keep the opponent in reaction mode, and it's hard to dictate the terms of the game when you are reacting all the time.
"It is our goal to play at an elite pace," Cooper-Dyke said.
Slowly she might be getting there for a program that has spent nearly a decade mired in frustration.
Cooper-Dyke, who won two national championships at USC as a player, inherited a USC team that has had a recent history of near-misses, seasons that fell just short of being NCAA-worthy, usually marred by a bad loss or two down the stretch that hurt the Trojans' standing with the selection committee.
USC hasn't been to the NCAA tournament since 2006.
The nonconference schedule was an exercise in getting acclimated, with losses to the ranked (Oklahoma State and South Carolina) and the unranked (Cal State Northridge and Saint Mary's).
But something shifted when the Pac-12 season started. The Trojans have beaten Colorado (their first win over a ranked opponent since 2011) and Cal, and fell in overtime at Arizona State. They won nine of 10 coming into Maples.
This season's team has already compiled more wins -- 14 -- than they did last season.
But it saw on Monday night that getting better doesn't put you close enough to the best.
"You learn from your mistakes," Cooper-Dyke said. "Basketball is about growing. If you are staying the same, then someone is passing you by. We will learn from this and move on. We can't hold on to it."
Harberts, who recently passed her head coach on the school's all-time scoring list. was the established standout on this team coming into the season, but Crook, the junior guard from Los Angeles, has come on strong. Crook put up 34 points in Friday's upset win over Cal, the most points scored in a game by a USC player since 2002.
Harberts and Crook are combining to score 31.8 points a game.
"I like the way things have been going," Harberts said. "We need to continue it going forward."
The Trojans won't have the luxury -- perhaps mercifully -- to spend much time parsing the meaning of a 28-point loss to the team that sits immediately ahead of them in the Pac-12 standings. They face the Washington schools at home this weekend.
"What it means is, Stanford is in first place and we are in second," Cooper-Dyke said.
And the gap looks big.

Louisiana Church Records
United States Louisiana Church Records
Before statehood in 1812 the Roman Catholic Church was dominant in Louisiana. Few Protestant churches flourished. From 1812 to 1900, the largest religious groups in Louisiana were the Roman Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Lutheran churches.[citation needed]
The earliest church records were Roman Catholic marriage records that began in 1720 and baptism records that began in 1729. Most records are kept at the local churches. The Family History Library has a small collection of Louisiana church records, including Roman Catholic and Baptist sources. Also see the 45 volumes of civil and church records from southern and southwestern Louisiana published by Donald J. Hebert (see Louisiana Vital Records).
Guides to help you locate Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish records are:

This French-Canadian collection has over 15 million genealogical and vital records entries; they were microfilmed by the Institut Généalogique Drouin. In Quebec, under the French Regime, there were two sets of records kept: a copy for the civil government archives and a copy for the ecclesiastical church archives. The Drouin collection is a civil copy of these entries. Please note that the cutoff date of this collection is in the early 1940s; only a small percentage of entries were covered from 1948 to 1967.
This collection is divided into six databases: 1. Quebec Vital and Church Records, 1621-1967 2. Ontario French Catholic Church Records, 1747-1967, 3. Early U.S. French Catholic Church Records, 1695-1954, 4. Acadia French Catholic Church Records, 1670-1946, 5. Quebec Notarial Records, 1647-1942, and 6. Miscellaneous French Records, 1651-1941.

"... A scientifically based account of the current global situation is needed to guide opinion leaders and decision makers in different sectors of society, as well as all those people engaged in activities against HIV/AIDS. ... Public Health Aspects of HIV/AIDS in Low and Middle Income Countries offers just such an account, with the help of many contributors with expert knowledge of the affected countries. The value of the book lies partly in the comprehensive presentation in one volume of up-todate and wide-ranging knowledge and also in its impartiality, since it might be perceived to be more independent than official publications by the UN or governments." -Lars O Kallings, The Lancet, Vol 372 "'Why is the world's response to AIDS failing?' Public Health Aspects of HIV/AIDS in Low and Middle Income Countries will be an outstanding resource for students, researchers, and public health and medical professionals seeking answers to this crucial question. The book both instructs and challenges readers to learn from the first 25 years of the HIV pandemic and to use this knowledge to shape its future." -R.

Cytotec and Drugs in Labor
Learn about the effects of drugs used during labor and other interventions.
- Cytotec Induction and Off-Label Use—by Marsden Wagner, MD, MS
When obstetricians using Cytotec induction are confronted about their willingness to use a drug "off-label," they inevitably answer: "We use drugs off-label all the time." There are several serious problems with this answer. First, in reality, using Cytotec for induction is not "off-label" at all—it is "on-label contraindicated." On the Cytotec label it is explicitly written that this drug is contraindicated for use on pregnant women. - Misoprostol (Cytotec) for Labor Induction: A Cautionary Tale—by Marsden Wagner, MD, MS
While the United States has a system in place to ensure that all drugs must be evaluated by the FDA before allowed on the market and that certain drugs are to be dispensed only through physician prescription, there is a hole in this system.... - Misoprostol: More on the dangers of Cytotec—by Marsden Wagner, MD, MS
- Midwives and Cytotec: A True Story—by Marsden Wagner, MD, MS
- Forced Labor—by David Goodman (Mother Jones magazine)
Since Cytotec was introduced in 1988, a growing number of obstetricians have embraced it as a "miracle" drug—in spite of data that leave serious doubts about its safety. Lacking FDA approval and scientific consensus on how to use it on pregnant women, doctors have taken it upon themselves to administer Cytotec to their patients—often without the women's informed consent.... - Drugs in Labour—by Beverley Lawrence Beech
Childbirth is a normal physiological event. However, since the advent of universal hospitalisation, for the majority of women childbirth has been transformed into a medical event where labour is processed, monitored and controlled by the medical profession from beginning to end.... - Technology in Birth: First Do No Harm—by Marsden Wagner, MD
Cesarean section can save the life of the mother or her baby. Cesarean section can also kill a mother or her baby. How can this be? Because every single procedure or technology used during pregnancy and birth carries risks, both for mother and baby. The decision to use technology is a judgment call—it may either make things better or worse.... - Ultrasound—by Beverley Lawrence Beech
The use of ultrasound in antenatal care is big business, and in any big business marketing is all-important. As a result of decades of enthusiastic marketing, women believe they can ensure the well being of their babies by reporting for an early ultrasound scan and that early detection of a problem is beneficial for these babies. That is not necessarily so, and there are a number of studies which show that early detection can be harmful.... - Ultrasound: More Harm than Good?—by Marsden Wagner, MD
It is not only doctors who have tried to promote ultrasound with statements that go beyond the scientific data. Commercial interests also have been actively promoting ultrasound, and not only to doctors and hospitals....

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed fears that Nigeria will witness a revolution soon unless government takes urgent steps to check growing youth unemployment and poverty.
Speaking at the West African regional conference on youth employment in Dakar, Senegal at the weekend, Obasanjo said the danger posed by an army of unemployed youth in Nigeria can only be imagined.
Obasanjo added that despite what he called the imminent threat to Nigeria's nationhood "there is absence of serious, concrete, realistic, short and long term solution" to youth unemployment.
He made reference to the doctorate degree holders who applied for jobs as drivers at the Dangote Group, saying Nigerian youths have been patient enough and that this patience will soon reach its elastic limit.
According to the former president, youth unemployment rate which was 72% in 1999 when he took over power had been reduced to 52% by 2004 but that the rate rocketed to 71% by 2011.
Obasanjo left office in 2007, succeeded by Umaru Yar'Adua who died in 2010, and President Jonathan has been in office since then.
The former president lamented that the unemployment situation had given rise to the prevalence of social crimes being perpetrated by three categories of youth whom he identified as area boys, Yahoo boys and, recently, Blackberry boys
He told the diverse audience that in Nigeria people talk of growth without corresponding development, and that what is visible is increased poverty
Obasanjo said national leaders must create incentives that will encourage entrepreneurs to flourish and that special attention should be given to agriculture business as against mere farming.
He reiterated the need for easy access to land and micro credit, while advocating for a review of school curriculum to enable undergraduates spend additional one year to learn entrepreneurship.
At the sub-regional level, Obasanjo called for a review of the New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD) to accommodate issues of youth unemployment and job creation.
The conference, which was sponsored by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the African Development Bank, was attended by top bankers from across Africa including the Managing Director of Nigeria's Bank of Industry, Ms. Evelyn Oputu.

My first TCR(Tropical Cyclone Report) of the 2012 Hurricane season and just my first TCR ever wrote. They aren't official NHC TCR's but I try to make them the most accurate as possible. The next TCR will be on Beryl and hopefully released by the end of Sunday night. I will continue to try my best to provide accurate reports on the Atlantic tropical cyclones and I will write a TCR for every Atlantic storm this season.
Tropical Cyclone Report
Tropical Storm Alberto
May 19th-May 22nd
Thursday, November 29, 2012
Alberto was an early forming tropical storm that skirted the southeastern United States coastline.
a. Synoptic history
Alberto formed from a non-tropical low that was associated with a mid to upper level trough. A low was first noticed in the second week of May. A cold front and low pressure system moved into the gulf around the 12th of May. This low slowly started to break away from this front as it moved northeast. Associated precipitation and cloudiness came with it, but everything was disorganized. Part of the disturbance stalled off the Southeast coast of the United States while the other part continued northeast. By the 18th a new low, a surface low this time, was developing and building convection based off of satellite and Doppler radar. This low started to get tracked by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) on May 19th when it was 120 miles to the southeast of the South Carolina coast. This low would acquire tropical characteristics throughout the day as a closed surface circulation became present and convection became deep and sustained. An Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) pass showed 40kt winds and a closed circulation, see figure 2. This low was tagged as an invest due to its potential for development. The structure of this system had become better defined at this point and a tropical cyclone was likely to form. The environment around invest 91L was marginally favorable for tropical cyclone development. While shear was low and instability was above normal, ocean temperatures (SST's) weren't what they would be in August/September. The water was warm though, enough for tropical cyclone genesis. On May 19th at 2100 UTC, the area of low pressure became Tropical Storm Alberto.
Alberto would then slowly drift to the southwest over the next day. The tropical storm was located in an area with little steering influence. As a trough began to move near Alberto he turned to the east and then northeast. Alberto hit peak intensity very early in his life, courtesy of a ship report nearby, see figure 1. At 2250 UTC on May 19th, Alberto reached a peak intensity of 50kts from the special advisory put out by the NHC. This is also when Alberto looked his best, which wasn't that good, structure wise as he would be soon overcome by multiple environmental factors. After the 19th, dry air and southwesterly wind shear worked hand in hand to weaken Alberto. While he was right near the Gulf Stream, the shear was too strong and the dry air was too abundant for the Gulf Stream to have a big effect on Alberto. Over the next couple days Alberto continued to weaken mainly due to dry air and wind shear. Convection decreased and the circulation became less defined as he turned to the northeast. The circulation became exposed despite attempts from Alberto trying to re-fire convection. On May 21st at 2100 UTC, Alberto was downgraded to a tropical depression and he barely was even able to be classified as one. There was very little convection and the circulation was becoming elongated as the trough was picking him up. On May 22nd at 1500 UTC, Alberto lost all tropical characteristics, became a remnant low, and was expected to fully dissipate in a couple of days. As the remnants of Alberto continued to move northeast, they got absorbed into a trough.
b. Meteorological Statistics
Observations to determine Alberto's strength include Advanced Dvorak Technique satellite estimates, University of Wisconsin's-Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies analysis maps, NWS radars, NOAA Hurricane Hunters, Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) passes, microwave data, and ship/ buoy reports were all used in the forecasting and tracking of Alberto.
The 50kt peak for Alberto was recorded from a ship that clocked 50kt winds and had a pressure of 995mb. Other ships and buoys would report tropical storm force winds along with ASCAT data showing sustained tropical storm force winds. Before Alberto became a tropical storm, his precursor produced rain and gusty winds over North and South Carolina. While there were no 35kt+ winds recorded, gusty winds caused some nescience for the area along with some rain. Winds would increase once he got offshore and Alberto skipped the depression stage. It is also interesting to note that Alberto merged into the same trough that would go on to form Beryl a few days later. Alberto was the earliest forming tropical storm since Ana of 2003 and was the first named storm to form in May since Arthur of 2008.
c. Casualty and Damage Statistics
No deaths or damage occurred with Alberto since he stayed off the United States coastline.
d. Forecast Verification
The formation of Tropical Storm Alberto was generally not expected to happen. There wasn't a mention in the Tropical Outlook until the day of formation. This was due to a fast transition from non-tropical to fully tropical, a matter of hours. The National Hurricane Center never really had the opportunity to give much mention well in advanced. There also wasn't a great consensus on whether a storm would form and, if one did, where it would form. Model runs had a storm/low forming in all parts of the Atlantic and at different intensities. This made it difficult for the NHC to pinpoint where tropical cyclone genesis would occur. They did have some of a handle about 24-12hrs before formation occurred.
Intensity forecasts were pretty good for Alberto from the get go. Besides the early spike in intensity, the NHC was pretty well spot on.
The track forecasts were less accurate during the earlier part of Alberto's life. The NHC had forecast Alberto to move inland or very close to it. Alberto stayed farter offshore than originally thought but forecasts improved as he got closer to his death. Tropical Storm Watches were issued for the South Carolina coast but they were dropped not too long after as it became likely Alberto would remain out to sea. Since he stayed farther offshore, not much more than higher waves were felt along the coast.

I was born in Tucson in 1960 and still have strong Arizona roots. But I list my hometown as Tulsa because we moved there when I was 2 and stayed until I left high school. From there I spent 7 years in the Boston area, attending Tufts University, which was mostly an excuse to read books and not work for 4 years. I have moved to Durham twice, both to follow women. Ended up marrying the second one. After spending 9 months here in 1985-86, I lived in New York City for 2 years, returning for good in 1988. I love living in Durham in part because it's a lot like living in Tulsa without having to live in Tulsa any more. These travels have made my accent rather thick and a tad unusual - an amalgamation of the Oklahoma and Piedmont drawls with a dash of Brooklyn Yiddish. Since then I got divorced then married Pam Adams in 1999. We currently have an animal population of 1 dog and 4 cats, all strays who found us.
I retired from politics in 2010 and only returned because I saw the need for someone to articulate the libertarian message in this race. I was raised to abhor violence and respect all people regardless of race or gender or anything else, which means I've been libertarian all my life. The most beautiful thing in the world to me is seeing someone fully accepting themselves and taking control of their own life, without shame or apologies. If everyone got comfortable inside their own skin, this world would be a much happier place.
My hobbies besides politics are cooking and baking, studying food as medicine, reading philosophy and history, listening to music, taking road trips across America, and fantasy football. I don't align myself with any particular religion, but I am an Oklahoma Sooners football fan, which is pretty much the same thing.

Rabbis Speak
Resolution Adopted by the CCAR
Religious Activities and the First Amendment
Adopted by the CCAR at the 90th Annual Convention of
the Central Conference of American Rabbis
Phoenix, Arizona, March 26-29, 1979
The CCAR, reaffirming its resolution of 1977 on the proselytization of our youth,
conscious of continuing evidence concerning widespread violation of law on the part
of those engaged in the phenomena of "Religious" cultism in America, and responding
to increasing concerns regarding freedom of religion in America, reaffirms its historic
conviction that the First Amendment prevents the government from determining what
constitutes a religion or religious beliefs; it does not prevent the government from
investigating the activities of any group in order to determine if the laws of this land
have been violated. In our continuing search for a just society we maintain that
no person and no group--whatever its name--is above the law, or exempt from its provisions.
We call for the implementation of governmental responsibility in this regard.
