There is nothing like a woman scorned, and Hailey Glassman continues to prove this in her latest cover story and shocking new interview with Steppin Out magazine. It was rather challenging to try to read this with a straight face.
The 23 year old ex-girlfriend of Jon Gosselin takes some very very cheap shots at her ex. In the new interview, Hailey goes into very graphic detail when discussing, or describing rather, the "manhood" of Jon, and even goes into detail about having sex with the 32-year old Jon & Kate Plus 8 dad.
"He was so small I didn't think he would cheat on me," sniped Hailey. "He's hung like a nine-year-old boy," she snipes. "I'm serious. This is true," she adds, claiming he only measures up to "3 inches." Ouch.
Hailey assures us she is telling the truth and challenges that "anybody who sleeps with him will notice. It's very noticeable. It's so tiny, tiny, tiny." Hailey adds that she "would laugh about it with my mom." Nothing like some good ol bonding with your mommy while discussing your ex's manhood.
But Hailey doesn't end her diss there, she continued to go for the jugular saying she was very vocal to Jon about his umm – "shortcomings," which he of course didn't find very funny at all. "He said, 'You know how subconscious [sic] I am of down there,'" Hailey recalls. "I would tell him to his face, 'I don't think you would cheat on me because you're so small.' I would tell him that all the time."
The ever classy Hailey closes out her TMI sex talk by sharing — "Having sex with Jon was bittersweet."
After ending things with Hailey last year, Jon is now dating Utah native, Morgan Christie, 25. Things with Hailey ended rather badly as Jon allegedly owed Hailey over $90,000, and Hailey allegedly ransacked and destroyed Jon's New York apartment. Hailey also accused Jon of physically attacking her.

I've been wondering about something, and it might be nonsense (if so I apologize!). Consider the unit disk in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and a function $f$ defined on the disk. I can compute its double integral as
$$\int_{D(0,1)} f dA = \int_{0}^{2\pi} \int_0^1 f(r,\theta) r dr d\theta$$
by polar coordinates. Now, separately, consider a function $g$ defined on the upper hemisphere of $S^2$ (the sphere in $\mathbb{R}^3$. In spherical coordinates, I can compute its integral over this region as
$$\int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} f(\theta,\phi) \sin(\theta) d\theta d\phi$$
What I'm wondering about is the following: given a function $f$ on the unit disc, can I find a function $g$ on the hemisphere such that $$\int_{D(0,1)} f dA = \int_{0}^{2\pi} \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} g(\theta,\phi) \sin(\theta) d\theta d\phi$$
Of course I could just choose some $g$ that satisfies that, but I was wondering if there was a systematic way for each $f$ on the unit disk to associate it with a $g$ on the sphere such that their integrals are the same.
So far, I was thinking about the following. I know I can map the disk onto the upper hemisphere by the map $F(x,y) = (x,y, \sqrt{1-x^2-y^2})$. At first, I naively just thought of assigning each point on the sphere the value of $f(x,y)$ at the corresponding point beneath it, but that fails. This would send a constant function on the disk to a constant function on the hemisphere, but their integrals are different. Integrating a constant on the unit disk would just yield the constant times $\pi$, whereas a constant on the upper hemisphere when integrated would yield a $2\pi$. I would be okay with this if this process always differed just by a factor of two (i.e., I could identify $g$ with $\frac{1}{2} f$), but I don't think that works.
I thought maybe some change of coordinates might work, but I can't seem to get it to pan out. If anyone could give a suggestion or a pointer in the right direction, that would be very helpful. I do not want a full solution, just a pointer or a reference that discusses relevant ideas would be great. Thanks!

From the developer's point of view, it is slightly frustrating because I have recently made a webapp for a customer which looks very similar, so everyone will believe it is copied from Google while it's not.
From the Google user's point of view, I like the change: it uses less screen space without sacrificing functionnalities, and follow the visual standards of mobile and web apps.
I think it's clean design when links aren't underlined. Blue text is enough to say - "this is a link". Just look at this page - works like a charm :)
I also think that this design follow the Google way of doing things, minimal to keep the workflow in focus and I am pretty sure that Apples glossy buttons and 3d effects are going to be outdated in a short future.
Windows Phone 7 has taken that path and I like it.
I think Google is a unique case!
With the new UI, Google finally looks like it's "Web 2.0" site. The previous link were just to plain and boring. Love the blue line over the select text.
I think it's better than the previous revision, especially the drop down menu. When you click 'more' to open the drop down menu, it's more easy to click the links.
I will add my opinion as well.
I like for the looks. The only things that i don't like is the dropdown for multiple sign in. I have to click more before i get the whole list. I can't see a reason why they wouldnt put the whole list in the drodown and mark the current one.

Advanced Semiconductor Engineering Inc's (ASE, 日月光半導體) partial plant shutdown in Greater Kaohsiung would have a limited impact on the nation's integrated-circuit packaging and testing industry, if the K7 plant can resume full operations within three months, Minister of Economic Affairs Chang Chia-juch (張家祝) said yesterday.
However, if sections of the K7 plant remain closed for more than three months, it would start to adversely impact the industry and negatively affect Taiwan's GDP growth, Chang told the legislature's Economics Committee.
"In the short term, [we] hope other domestic companies could take orders from ASE. However, if the shutdown lasts longer, it will have an increasingly negative impact on the country because orders could move overseas," broadcaster Radio Taiwan International (RTI) yesterday quoted Chang as saying.
On Friday, the Greater Kaohsiung Government's Environmental Protection Bureau ordered the K7 plant, in the municipality's Nanzih Export Processing Zone, to shut down its wafer-related manufacturing facilities after the factory was found to be in violation of environmental protection rules by discharging wastewater contaminated with heavy metals into the nearby Houjin River (後勁溪).
ASE yesterday submitted an improvement plan to the bureau dealing with wastewater treatment at the K7 plant. The plan is to be assessed by a panel of experts and academics commissioned by the bureau.
The ministry will help the K7 plant to resume operations as soon as possible after it reviews the improvement plan, Chang said. If everything goes smoothly, the plant may resume operations in the next two to three months, he added.
ASE shares rose 2.39 percent to close at NT$27.9 yesterday on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, as investors took the partial shutdown as being a better result than expected, Yuanta Securities Corp (元大證券) analyst Andrew Chen (陳治宇) said yesterday in a client note.
"We believe ASE will pull all the necessary strings to resume production as soon as possible," Chen said.
"ASE will also work very hard to contain this event," to ensure that no subsequent investigations at its other factories in Taiwan reveal illegal wastewater disposal, he added.
ASE said on Friday the partial shutdown at the K7 plant may result in a monthly loss of up to US$18 million, adding that the plant accounts for about 9 percent of the company's monthly sales.
Jih Sun Securities Co (日盛證券) analyst Joe Lai (賴暉明), said the impact of the short-term plant shutdown was factored in to ASE's share price last week and investors may begin buying the company's shares again in view of its improved outlook.
Jih Sun forecast ASE to report a sequential 8.82 percent increase in this quarter's sales, despite the short-term impact of the K7 issue, Lai said in a research note.
The company reported record-high consolidated sales for the third quarter of NT$56.75 billion, an increase of 11.8 percent from the second quarter and 15.8 percent from a year earlier, company data showed.
"ASE is looking to grab lucrative opportunities in mobile devices and wearable applications through the system-in-packaging (SiP) business. The company has no visible competitors in the SiP market in either Taiwan and China. It's only competition is in Japan," Lai said.
However, KGI Securities Co (凱基證券) analyst Bonny Weng (翁筱雯) cautioned investors against reading too much into a single day's trade, saying that they should wait until the wastewater issue comes to an end.

DOVER — The official tax cap calculations for fiscal year 2014 provided by the federal government are the exact same as the estimates City Manager Michael Joyal presented at the most recent Joint Fiscal Committee meeting.
"The only difference is that these are official," Joyal said.
The official calculations for how the tax cap will affect the tax levy were announced by Joyal during Wednesday's City Council meeting, followed by his take on the five-year financial forecast for the city.
Joyal explained that the Department of Labor issued its year end average for Boston CPI Urban, which is an average of the past three years, to be an inflationary index of 1.97-percent.
When this percentage is applied to the city's prior fiscal year net amount raised by taxes, the certified fiscal year 2013 tax levy, which is just over $24.5 million, it shows an increase of $486,085 for the city and $534,360 for the schools for fiscal year 2014.
The allowance for net construction, or what Joyal called, "new valued added to the community," through construction and demolition, based off a $15 million estimate from an assessor, when multiplied by 1.97-percent comes out to an additional $145,650 for the city and $155,700 for schools.
The total increase that will be allowed by the tax cap levy for the city is capped at $631,735 and the schools are capped at $690,060, with a budget increase allowed per estimated capped tax levy to total over $1.4 million, with the county portion included.
City councilors had no comment on the tax cap presentation and continued to look on at Joyal's Excel sheet as he presented a financial forecast, showing both what the city would look like if the economy improved and if the fiscal cliff were to hit.
The forecast, as described by Joyal, is a look at trends tracked by various agencies, such as population, labor force, unemployment and family income levels, that have been occurring in budgets in the past few years.
"It allows us to take a look at and anticipate any potential changes or problems that may occur in the future," he said. "We are projecting that although there will be some pinch points going forward, it will appear that we should be able to sustain our operations, although there will be some areas we have to address as the economy improves."
At this time, the city has continued to maintain the unassigned general fund balance minimum of 8 percent and has maintained a debt service at or below 10 percent.
"We are right there," Joyal said, adding that the other part of the city's debt service is keeping debt obligations below what the state allows. The city's is at 14.7 percent as opposed to the allowed 28 percent.
"All good news in that regard," Joyal said.
"We'd have an incredibly strong fund balance," Joyal said, when discussing if the economy were to improve and revenues were to come ahead of the city's expenses.
If the economy were to crash, Joyal said, ultimately, they would be in the negative, if they were to maintain services and programs as they exist today.
Joyal did say, however, the city's department heads would come together to make adjustments if necessary so as to not be far below budget.
"We need to continue to have some diligence monitoring governance and expenses," he said. "You need to take into account that this is part of a longer term plan."
Joyal said the forecast is still a work in progress and as information continues to come in, he will keep the council and the public updated.
"For the most part, this forecast looks very positive," he said.

Anne Frank's stepsister Eva Schloss, has come forward to put an end to the controversy surrounding Justin Bieber's comments wishing the famous diarist would've been a "Belieber."
"She probably would have been a fan. Why not?" Scholss told a newspaper according to The Sun. "He's a young man and she was a young girl, and she liked film stars and music."
Schloss, 83, who was a close friend of Frank's and later became her sibling when their parents married, is the first person to defend the 19-year-old singer since he wrote a controversial statement about the young writer.
Last Sunday, Bieber made headlines after visiting the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam and leaving what some called an arrogant comment on the guestbook.
"Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber," Bieber wrote.
According to singer's guitarist Dan Kanter, the Canadian pop star meant no harm with his comment and it was the media who distorted the message.
"He was inspired by Anne's brave and ultimately tragic story," he told THR. "To do as the media has done, is to distort, demean, and degrade his meaningful visit."
However, not everyone is convinced about the Bieber's good intentions.
"This is a place where Anne spent two years hiding in claustrophobic conditions, where she put down her dreams of making the world a better place," said Gillian Walnes MBE, co-founder of The Anne Frank Trust UK. "Now 70 years later a pop singer is trying to hijack this for his own self-aggrandizement. It says a lot about what his ego is turning into."
On the other hand, The Anne Frank House has tried to make the best out of the situation and thanked the singer for his visit via Facebook.
"The Anne Frank House was pleased to welcome Justin Bieber to the Anne Frank House last Friday. We think it is very positive that he took the time and effort to visit our museum. He was very interested in the story of Anne Frank and stayed for over an hour. We hope that his visit will inspire his fans to learn more about her life and hopefully read the diary," they wrote.

Soldiers from the Indian army conducted an operation against militant groups along the border with Myanmar in the country's northeast on Tuesday, with special forces allegedly also entering Myanmar to perform "surgical strikes".
A statement by the army said its offensive had resulted in "significant casualties" among the militants who killed 20 Indian soldiers in the region less than a week ago, Reuters reported.
Carrying out cross-border operations is not common practice for India, and the army only mentioned two areas in its own states Nagaland and Manipur. However, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting and a former army colonel, confirmed that Indian forces had crossed over into Myanmar, the Indian Express reported.
Maj. Gen. Ranbir Singh, the Additional Director General for Military Operations, told the Express that the Indians had been in communication with Myanmar authorities regarding the counteraction against the rebel groups.

Saturday, March 30 marked the opening of the newest museum in Los Angeles, the Animal Advocacy Museum. "There's a museum for Spam and one for everything else, there should be one for animal advocacy, too," says co-founder Patty Shenker.
Together with her partner Prabhat Gautam, they decided to get the long-dreamt-of museum open on a small scale rather than wait any longer for a larger and more ambitious opening. With advice from Karen Moning, who was instrumental in the opening of the Simon Weisenthal's Museum of Tolerance, they were all in accord that "if you build it, they will come."
And come they did. Hundreds of activists from around Los Angeles and Orange County bought tickets, many of them opting for the VIP $100 reception. There was vegan food (including a couple of platters from Real Food Daily), organic juices made on the spot by Rawsheed, wine and beer, samples of Cavewoman Bars, and other delights. And the event was happily facilitated by dozens of volunteers.
The physical museum opened in two rooms and an added rented hall for the evening from the Throop Unititarian Universalist Church in Pasadena. (Throop is a very animals friendly church, offering vegetarian food after services and vegan cooking classes.) Although the physical space is modest, the idea of the museum in the minds of the founders and guests is as grand as the sky.
The Animal Advocacy Museum will be a place to showcase and educate about all forms of animal advocacy and veganism, through art, dance and other exhibits, events for kids, fundraisers and lectures, and even open the space to other activists for human rights. "The two go hand in hand," Patty and Prabhat explained to the crowd.
Indeed the smaller of the two rooms is already devoted to activist art for other than animal causes. The idea is that when human activists meet and educate they also will be educated about the plight of animals today and what must be done to help liberate them.
Prabhat says, "When you bring people from different perspectives together, you never know what's going to happen." He reminded us that lawyers who were at one time fighting each other on the election of Bush v. Gore are now working in unison on gay rights.
The opening exhibit includes art works from the collection of Patty Shenker and Doug Stoll to show how art can influence activism. Patty has been excited to open her collection to the public so that it will hopefully touch and change lives. She reminded us that the hottest levels of Dante's Inferno are reserved for those who in the time of crisis maintain their neutrality.
The primary artist is Sue Coe, a British political artist and illustrator living in upstate New York, who works primarily in drawing and printmaking. Her poignant and sharp images do not hide from the cruelties that are the lives of millions of animals.
She depicts the "ghosts of his meat following man" as well as slaughter house and circus training torture realities. It is done in the style of Francesco Goya and Expressionistic artists Kathe Kollwitz and those in 1930s Germany who were astutely trying to warn of the horrors of Nazi-ism.
There are other beautiful exhibits such as an orca family, a whale sculptue by famed marine life artist Robert Wyland. There's also a fantastical Noah's Ark sculpture.
Howie Cooke's magnificent oil painting has EX.OD.US as the title. Howie has written to Patty, "The title means that the whales would become EXTINCT if we OVERDOSE them with killing, capture, pollution, entanglement, starvation and acoustic invasion, and it will be US, as in us humans who will be responsible and held accountable for the demise of Cetaceans, their friends and the Ocean." In recent years Howie has served as an active member of Paul Watson's Sea Shepherd crew. Patty bid and won it at a gala for Sea Shepherd in Santa Monica.
There were many, many animal lovers with causes at the opening. Among the few I had the opportunity to talk with were Jennifer Conrad of PAWS Project, Jan Creamer and Tim Phillips of Animal Defenders International, Dr. Armaiti May, host of Animal Issues, internet radio show, John Salley, former NBA player and talk show host, and Kat Kramer, performer in Circus PAWS of the Performing Animal Welfare Society.Fabulous comedienne Debra Watson was also there to celebrate the opening as well as Alexandra Paul and Elaine Hendrix.
Attorney David Simon helped introduce the founders. There was also photographer Diane Lannes, film director Todd Spradlin, artist and curator Alysse Stephanian, pet photographer Michelle Morgan, recording artist Fawn, and Francisco Santos of GreenQuest.tv. There was so much chatting and networking going on there was never less than a loud roar in the rooms!
Animals are hopefully starting to find their voices in the voices of these dedicated advocates and the hopefully thousands who will come to frequent the museum, be enlightened, and join their ranks.
ALL are invited to an exciting free event already planned at the Museum on the evening of Saturday, April 27. There will be a reception for the founders of SOS Wildlife India, Kartick and Geeta, an amazing couple who are visiting from India. They have single-handedly saved all the "dancing bears" from the country and created sanctuaries for them. They have also re-trained the "owners" of the bears into other occupations. They are now heavily involved in rescuing abused elephants and creating sanctuaries for them. Their adventure tales are amazing and sure to excite and inspire adults and children. There will be Indian appetizers and drinks. The wonderful gallery of the Shenker-Stoll collection will still be on exhibit. From 6-10pm. NOT TO BE MISSED!!!
GEORJA UMANO is an actor and animal advocate.
The Animal Advocacy Museum is open on Thursdays and Saturdays from 11am – 4pm. Admission is free.

Ludwig Selected by Pirates in 10th Round; Reds Take Becker in 11th Round
SECAUCUS, N.J. — The Yale University baseball team saw two of its pitchers selected in the second day of the 2012 Major League Baseball Draft, with Pat Ludwig (Okemos, Mich.) going to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 10th round and Nolan Becker (New York, N.Y.) going to the Cincinnati Reds in the 11th round on Tuesday.
Ludwig, who recently completed his senior season at Yale, was the 316th selection overall. It is the highest selection for a Yale player since the Boston Red Sox drafted catcher Ryan Lavarnway in the sixth round (202nd overall pick) in the 2008 Draft. In the 47-year history of the draft (1965), Ludwig is the seventh Yale player to be selected inside of the first 10 rounds.
"If ever a guy earned a chance to play after college, it's Pat," said Yale head coach John Stuper. "He busted his butt for four years, including pitching every summer. He worked hard on his craft and he worked hard in the weight room. He came in as a mid-80s guy with a nice clean delivery. He leaves as a low-90s guy who has touched 94. He has a great selection of pitches with a very good curve ball, slider, cutter, and a change that is improving. Our entire program is very proud of him."
Becker, who just finished his junior season, was the 352nd selection overall. He is the eighth-highest selection to come from Yale in the draft's history.
Ludwig and Becker represent the 32nd and 33rd players, respectively, to move on to the professional ranks during Coach Stuper's tenure as Yale's head coach. Their selection represents the eighth straight year in which a Yale player was selected in the draft.
Becker boosted his credentials for the draft with a 16-strikeout performance in seven innings of a 13-7 win over Brown on the last day of the season.
"Nolan has really persevered," Stuper said. "He had Tommy John surgery during his freshman year, and for him it was a long and arduous rehab. He never stopped believing and working. One day this year, he looked like the Nolan I knew was in there. He reaches 90 to 93 miles per hour and there is a lot more in there. If you're building a pitcher, he might be the prototype. He's 6-foot-6 with long levers, and he is left-handed. He is a tremendous athlete. His coming-out party came on the last day of the season, but his performance didn't surprise me at all."
Ludwig, who earned All-Ivy League Second Team honors, went 1-5 in nine starts and shared the team's Ducky Pond Pitching Award, a career award for pitching excellence and character, with fellow senior Eric Shultz. Ludwig led the team in strikeouts (64), strikeouts looking (23), earned run average (2.73), and innings pitched (62.2). He led the Ivy League in strikeouts and strikeouts looking and was third in ERA, third in innings pitched and seventh in opposing batting average (.256).
Becker, who earned All-Ivy League Honorable Mention recognition in 2012, went 2-4 in 12 appearances and nine starts. He led the Bulldogs in opposing batting average, holding hitters to a stellar .238 average, which was second among Ivy League leaders. He was second on the team in strikeouts (56) and strikeouts looking (16), strikeout numbers that placed him fifth and third, respectively, among Ivy League leaders. He allowed just 46 hits all season, which led the team's starters and was second among Ivy League leaders. His 16 strikeouts in the final game against Brown were a season-high for the Ivy League.

The ugliness in Miami this week brought to the forefront the serious and complex issue of what's accepted and what's not in the locker room and beyond, and when a real leader must step up
From now until the opening of training camps, The MMQB will run a series of our Greatest Hits from the site's first year. From November, Robert Klemko on the role race played in the Miami Dolphins locker room scandal...
Note from The MMQB's editor-in-chief, Peter King:
Please be forewarned that the following story contains provocative language that some may find offensive. The incident involving Dolphins players Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin has prompted an examination by people inside and outside of football on race relations in the locker room. Our Robert Klemko, who has been on the scene in Miami this week, writes about race and this story. We at the site had to decide whether to use the terms this story has brought to the fore: namely "nigger" and "half-nigger." In normal reporting, we would not spell out such offensive words, but because of Klemko's subject matter we decided to use them in full, feeling it would be distracting or confusing to do otherwise, and that an honest discussion requires that we talk about these terms in the open. I apologize in advance to those who are offended by their use. To comment, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
MIAMI — As with so many people, as soon as I read the voicemail transcript that ignited the public saga of the Miami Dolphins and bullying, I was taken aback by the prospect of veteran guard Richie Incognito calling second-year tackle Jonathan Martin a half-nigger. This is hate speech, I thought, and surely it was a one-time thing. It was hard to believe that a white man calling a black man a nigger could be acceptable practice in an NFL locker room that is overwhelmingly black.
In the process of covering the larger story, I traveled to Florida and persuaded retired former Dolphins lineman Lydon Murtha to write his first-person account of the relationship between Incognito and Martin, and he told me something shocking: After only several months of knowing one another, Murtha had heard Incognito call Martin the same thing to his face during position meetings, and Martin laughed. And that voicemail? Teammate Brian Hartline told reporters that Martin had played it for the locker room to hear and again laughed.
I called people I trust within the NFL community (not Martin's agents) who'd had dealings with the young man. And they said Incognito had left voicemails calling Martin a nigger previous to the infamous one released this month, and whether it was said in anger or jest, it had troubled Martin, but he didn't know what to do.
I texted several black current and former NFL players I know, and asked them, what would you do? The reaction was unanimous: I can't even imagine it happening. I texted with two veteran coaches who said they had never seen such a thing in the NFL.
"It's not common at all," an AFC coach said. "You know when people are joking, but the black players I know would not appreciate anybody joking with them like that."
Retired Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo had a story that seemed related, if only tangentially. At one point last season, Ravens players were listening to Yung Joc's "It's Goin' Down" in the locker room. A white player recited a lyric with the word "nigga." Ayanbadejo says a "fun debate" ensued. Was it okay for him to recite the word in a lyric? There's a fine line, Ayanbadejo says. Like it or not, a large number of African-Americans in the league find the word's use acceptable among themselves, though not among white players at large. There were white men on the team who were permitted to use the word as a term of endearment (as in, What's up, my nigga?) because of the conditions of their youth. Through underprivileged childhoods, some had built up an amount of credibility. They weren't quite "honorary black guys," as Incognito has been described by a former Dolphins teammate, but they were close.
"If you're from the hood and you grew up with black guys, then you can get away with saying it as a term of endearment," Ayanbadejo says. "You can say, 'my nigga.' "
Yet the idea that a white player would actually call somebody a nigger in anger or jest was utterly unfathomable.
"That wouldn't fly," Ayanbadejo said.
The line between my nigga and you nigger was clearly defined. Incognito seemed to be somewhat in congruence with the spirit of this unofficial race-relations policy when, as seen in a video released by TMZ, he stood drunken and shirtless at a bar and referred to black teammate Mike Pouncey as "Mike Pouncey. Nigga!" But in calling Martin a half-nigger, Incognito had obliterated the line. Simultaneously, Martin was being bullied for being black, and not black enough. Plus, Incognito did this in front of people.
* * *
So how did this happen? How did it become okay for a black player to be the subject of even one instance of hate speech in one locker room, while, from what I could gather, it was unthinkable in eight other organizations?
"That's a big question," said Kordell Stewart, the former Steeler quarterback, who is black. "I have never heard anything like that before in my life. For that to happen, all I can say is the brothers on that team have lost their minds, to allow it."
There is no leadership," Kordell Stewart says of the Dolphins' locker room. "It takes strong men, invested enough to say, 'No, that's not happening.'
Stewart went on to explain that the word "nigger" and its friendlier variation were not words uttered by white teammates, and black players who used them were careful not to do so around white people, so as to avoid giving the impression that it was acceptable common speech. Clearly, things changed at some point in the eight years since Stewart's retirement.
"We just didn't say it around everybody," Stewart said. "Incognito has obviously been around black men who have allowed him to say it if he wants to. It tells you how their locker room is, and that's why their team struggles because there is no leadership. It takes strong men, invested enough to say, 'No, that's not happening.' "
Stewart made it clear that a locker-room leader in any locker room, regardless of the black-white composition of the team, could be white; he could be black. The problem, Stewart said, is that Incognito is the alpha male in the locker room. The ideal leader is principled, even-tempered and respectful because he dictates the social rules. And Incognito is none of those things.
"He's reckless, plain and simple,'' said Stewart. "People don't question him because he's domineering and a Pro Bowler, and a lot of the young guys on the team are afraid of that. What are you gonna do? Beat him up? Jump him?
"If somebody like Derrick Brooks or Warren Sapp was in there, he would never say that."
The AFC coach agreed: "It's a total lack of respect and leadership."
After spending two days in the Miami locker room, I had yet to find a Derrick Brooks or a Warren Sapp in the bunch. They defended Incognito as a good teammate, and suggested Martin was the outsider. Asked if it was okay for a white person to say "nigger," rookie defensive end Dion Jordan said he didn't believe it was an acceptable word for anyone to say.
So would he step up and object if he heard a player say it?
"Well that's between the player and whoever he's talking to," Jordan said.
* * *
Listening to Jordan, I recalled two of the several dozen times I've personally been called a "nigger," and I came to understand the crux of the race problem in Miami.
I am mixed, a term which in its modern application applies more accurately to me than Martin, whose parents are both black, or mixed, or however they choose to identify. My father is Ukrainian-American and my mother is African-American, and I've been called a "nigger" and a "half-nigger" and other related slurs in jest and in anger by drunk and sober people alike. The second time it ever happened I was 16. I had interrupted a conversation between two of my white high school football teammates before practice.
One fired back at me, "We were talking here, you f---ing mulatto."
A mulatto, in case you're blissfully ignorant of the slur, was once the label for children born from the rape of African slaves by their white masters.
I didn't know what to do. I was angry and I saw this as a dangerous precedent. I thought if this guy can just call me a mulatto and there are no immediate consequences, it opens the door for anybody to call me that. They'll drop the word in jest and say, We're just joking. Why are you mad, now? Then I remembered the last time somebody called me a "half-nigger:" three years before when I was a diminutive freshman and the subject of bullying by football seniors. One day I told the star offensive player on the team, who was black, that one white senior had called me a "half-nigger." And just like that, it stopped.
I reasoned three years later that I didn't want our team to be the kind of group that preyed on each other emotionally on the basis of race. I would have to do something in that moment to make this insult an anomaly. I probably didn't even have to hurt him; I could have cussed him out, or battered him in practice, but in those 60 seconds of contemplation I realized my teammate would never have used a slur against me if he had considered me blacker. He felt that my light skin and white dad gave him some kind of pass. I saw red.
Maybe Martin was truly above it all, and he took the wisest course of action and walked away, exposing the NFL warrior ethos for all of its self-perpetuating ugliness.
As we walked to practice, I walked in front of him and pushed him, so he knew he was in a fight, and then I threw haymakers at his face with both fists. There was blood everywhere: My white pants, his face, my hands. It was pooling on the pavement bordering our practice field as he dropped to his knees, hugging my leg. That's when I stopped.
Would I do the same thing today if, for instance, a colleague called me a mulatto in anger? Probably not. I'd go to jail, and it just doesn't seem like a reasonable way to solve conflicts anymore. But Jonathan Martin and Richie Incognito play in the NFL, where, right or wrong, an acceptable level of violence outside of the lines is often seen as a necessary display of passion. Essential, even. Fights get covered up by teams when they happen in private and explained as "competitive fire" when they happen publicly. Operating in this warped moral bubble, why didn't Martin stand up for himself? Why didn't he fight, as the team's general manager, Jeff Ireland, reportedly suggested to Martin's agent? Maybe he was afraid to face Incognito, the stronger man more prone to violence. Or maybe he was truly above it all, and he took the wisest course of action and walked away, exposing the NFL warrior ethos for all of its self-perpetuating ugliness in an admirable move which, admittedly, I would be incapable of.
But Martin should have never had to walk away. He was a Miami Dolphin. He is, by most accounts, quiet and guarded with his emotions. He is light-skinned, his parents are Harvard-educated, and he might seem nothing like most of the black guys in the locker room. Said Roman Oben, who played 12 seasons in the NFL as an offensive lineman, "If you're like Martin, and you're black and you have money and an education and can go and make $200,000 not playing football, you're going to be more scrutinized than everybody else. That's the unfortunate truth. And without the leaders around who would step in, you're going to be expected to stand up for yourself."
Martin was still a Miami Dolphin, though. And there were other Miami Dolphins, black and white, who knew that Richie Incognito was so comfortable with harassing this man, he crossed a racial line clearly defined across the NFL. And yet they did nothing.

Some schools win kudos for high test scores and great teachers. But one small school in the American heartland has just won a medal for fighting fat. At Northeast Elementary Magnet in Danville, Ill., five-year-olds dance hip-hop to the alphabet and fifth-graders calculate calories. The curriculum at the public school is focused on health and wellness, and families have to sign a contract agreeing to abide by that.
In this picture, Naomi Woods (left) eats lunch with her classmates. School lunches are low-fat or no-fat, with fresh fruit or veggies every day, and no dessert. What else does a typical day entail at Northeast? Keep clicking to see photos taken on Sept. 20, 2011...
Credit: AP
During a nutrition lesson, Nancy Henderson, home economic coordinator for the fresh fruit and vegetables program, read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." The tale focuses on a caterpillar that can't stop eating - when the bug started eating chocolate cake and ice cream, the kids gasped and said in hushed tones, "junk food," as if it were poison.
The school's cafeteria offers no soda, fried foods, or gooey desserts, sticking instead to fresh fruit and veggies and low-fat or no-fat milk. There are no sweets on kids' birthdays and food is never used as a reward.
Timothy Mills, head of the student advisory council, listens to students give their positive and negative feedback during class. Not all kids at Northeast are skinny - some are clearly overweight - but they're still enthusiastic about the program and there isn't much grumbling.
Math teacher Lisa Unzicker explains how food labels can be misleading. She teaches students how to figure out how many calories are in a whole bag, based on the amount in each serving.
Tyler Jones and Sophia Jurenez run during gym class, which they have every day.
Students enjoy the playground as part of their physical education. Who are the students? They're generally poorer and less healthy than the state average, with many families struggling with obesity and related problems.

The new Insider magazine has mention of a third Evolution set tentatively titled "Evolution of the Sith."It includes Maul, Dooku and the Emperor. Maul and Dooku look like kit bashed figures but the Emperor looks to be all new.
I just split off all the arguing over who Commander Bly is, or isn't, and made it into it's own thread, and stuck it in the ROTS movie forum section, since none of the (deteriorating) discussion had to do with the Evolutions sets anymore. So go over there if you want to keep talking (respectfully) about Commander Bly.Stay here if you want to discuss the Evolutions figures.Hopefully Michael's right on the TRU.com date there, and they're really due out in just a couple weeks. Can't wait for these sets.

Meeting at Empire Stores courtyard (map)
To capture and document this city is to become part of New York's rich narrative preserved and remembered for generations. Classic street shooters like Robert Frank, Reinhart Wolf and William Klein loved to train their lens on Liberty City's rolling architecture, its vitality and grit. In this Crash Course we'll examine some work by a few noteworthy photographers of the Urban Landscape, and discuss how they sought and achieved their iconic imagery. Then we'll hit the streets, focusing on dynamic framing and composition, analyzing lighting conditions, assessing color and contrast, and exploring the area for arresting scenes to photograph. At the end we'll discuss ways to develop our ideas and take our photos further.
Who should take this class
This live shooting workshop is a window into this inspired way of looking at the city, and is available to students of all experience levels.
What to bring
Your camera with a clean-formatted memory card. DSLRs or other cameras with full manual control of aperture, shutter speed and ISO are recommended but not required. If you're wondering about your camera's capability, contact us for more details.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether a larger dosage of estrogen than the one used today will secure the development of a normal sized uterus and increase the strength of the bones in girls and young women with Turner syndrome.
The purpose is also to evaluate whether aortic dilatation is present in this group of patients, and if the estrogen dosage will influence the emotional well-being and self-esteem of the patients.
|Condition or disease
|Turner Syndrome
|Drug: estradiol
|Phase 4
Turner syndrome is a common chromosomal disorder with only one X-chromosome or partial deletions in one X-chromosome in all or some of the cell-lines in the body. Appr. 18 girls/year are being born with the syndrome in Denmark. The syndrome is mostly known for reduced final height and the lack of pubertal development with infertility, but it is also known for diseases influencing other parts of the body like the heart with the risk of development of aortic dilatation and subsequently dissection with the risk of rupture, profuse bleeding and sudden death. Reduced bone strength and increased risk of bone fracture are also features of the syndrome. Treatment with growth hormone and female sex-hormones are well-established treatments.
Girls and young women with Turner syndrome ages 10 to 21 years will participate. The girls ages 15 to 21 years will randomly and double blindly receive treatment with either 2 mg or 4 mg estrogen for 5 years. Yearly examinations with blood tests, physical examinations, questionnaires, ultrasound and MR-scan of the internal female genitalia, DEXA-scan of the bones and MR-scan of the heart will be performed.

When you gotta go, you gotta go. For most of us, that means quietly taking a break before we resume whatever it is we were doing. For Michael Bourn, last night it meant the start of the bottom of the fourth inning in Arizona had to be delayed, since everyone noticed the Braves had taken the field with just eight players. And that meant a delay in the television broadcast, which was left to provide an awkward play-by-play of Bourn emerging to buckle his pants in the dugout before he took the field while everyone laughed at him.

Since my mother was born in Germany this was the only job she could find, working in a bake shop.
