We want to make our community an even better place.
To help make that possible, Open Data Delaware, the Government Information Center, and the Technology Forum of Delaware have worked together to design a series of workshops and events to help solve community issues and cultivate civic technology skills. The events include a series of 6 workshops curated by Open Data Delaware, the Tech Forum of Delaware's Idea Challenge, and the Open Data Challenge Hackathon in June.
The workshops are all scheduled. (Check here to see what we've done).
The Idea Challenge has been completed.
All that's left is this. The Open Data Challenge Hackathon. It's going to be amazing.
The Open Data Challenge Hackathon.
This weekend-long hackathon is based around a simple idea: Access to Hope through Innovation. From this idea, our nonprofit partners - The Food Bank of Delaware and Network Delaware - will present challenges that our teams will solve. Look out for more details on those challenges as we get closer to the event.
Teams will compete to prototype solutions to the provided challenges. 2 teams will be selected as the winners (1st and 2nd place, respectively) and awarded a grant to help them finish their ideas over time to produce something useable for our entire community.
- 1st Place Grant: $12,500
- 2nd Place Grant: $5,000
Teams will have the opportunity to self-form on the day of the event and will consist of approximately 5 people. A great team will be well balanced, consisting of coders, designers, members of the community, and any other needed skill set. We encourage people to work with a group of people that they may not have in the past.
So how will this all work?
This is a weekend-long event starting on Friday June 2nd and ending on Sunday June 4th. Take a look below for (roughly) how the weekend will work. We'll provide a more detailed schedule as we draw closer to the weekend of the event.
Friday evening (6:30 pm - 10:00 pm):
- Networking
- Challenge Pitches
- Team Formation
- Ideation
- Initial Work

Great! I still have some questions about the Open Data Challenge.
How do I get involved? Do I pay anything?
We'd love to see you contribute on one of our teams. Participation is free, but please help us by registering in advance at the link above. Registering early helps us manage our resources. Signing up at the last minute is OK! But you still need to register.
How do I form a team?
After the problems are presented, you'll have the opportunity to join a team based on the problem that most interests you. A typical team is four to six people. Depending on the number of participants and the popularity of the ideas, multiple teams may address the same problem.
The most successful teams will have a diverse talent pool: developers, designers, community members, etc. Everyone should be able to bring a different skill to the table.
I can't code. I'm not a designer. I barely know what open data is. Can I still participate?
Of course! The Open Data Challenge is an inclusive event. Apart from any skill as a developer or designer, you have a place at the event. You'll have the chance to contribute to the ideation process, learn some new skills, or simply help with research. There are plenty of ways to be involved.
What is a hackathon? Isn't hacking something that's discouraged?
Don't believe the hype! Hacking means pulling together different strands of knowledge to form an effective solution. Come to the Open Data Challenge. You'll meet diverse people who share your interests. And you might even discover some new skills.
I'm interested in the idea of open data. How can I stay involved beyond the Open Data Challenge?
You can join us at Open Data Delaware. We meet every Saturday at 10:00 am at the Brandywine Hundred Library for Code and Coffee. Beyond that, we'll host a workshop, happy hour, or speaker event about once a month. You're always welcome to join us!

Back - despite nearly not coming back ever.
I initially posted the start of what I believe will be a serious outbreak of Ebola in Africa and am continuing on the dated post.
A new outbreak of the Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo is believed to have killed 33 people in the east of the country, the health ministry said Saturday.
Thirteen Ebola cases have been confirmed since the fresh outbreak was declared on August 1 in North Kivu province.
While just three of the fatalities have been among the 13 confirmed cases, the death toll is believed to have risen to 33, the health authorities said in a bulletin Saturday.
Containing an Ebola outbreak in a "war zone" in the Democratic Republic of Congo is among the most difficult challenges the World Health Organization has faced, a top WHO official said Friday.
In North Kivu, health workers will have to navigate their response among more than 100 armed groups, 20 of whom are "highly active," WHO's emergency response chief Peter Salama told reporters.
The outbreak in North Kivu in eastern DRC was declared a week after WHO and the Kinshasa government hailed the end of an earlier Ebola flareup in northwestern Equateur province, which killed 33 people.
As with the earlier outbreak,"vaccinations will be an integral part of the response," the health ministry said Saturday.
"not if but when" the original Medclinician

Field of Not Dreams....I have lots of visions for my life...like a job...so I don't care if it comes into the physical like my dreams...just that it comes...I was happily on the ground looking at the very blue sky...helps to connect to something greater than me.
I LOVE your new format. It's absolutely enjoyable and informative. Keep up the great work. Thanks for everythig.
You guys crack me up! You say soooo much! ... and I appreciate ALL of it.
Teresa, I can sense how reversing the format ritual can feel "unusual"... but fear not!
I think the change-up is refreshing and clever. It's only a tiny tweaking of the opening syntax. They've done it before. It's just updating their style--- to transition us quickly to modern newsroom atmosphere. And a change adds more zest for THEM workwise. Sharpens us all up. It's all good... And it works!
I'm super-impressed at the sensitivity, quality, and effort of these guys. What big hearts! I LOVE the audacity-- What a fun dramatic sense of theatre!!
( I bet their outside workshops would be incredibly worthwhile!... The take-away could be really transformational. )
Their FUNdaMENTAL mission has not changed.... We're just in a new inning.
Why did Jeff stop announcing the day and date? Go back to the original beginning. Let Rick do the date and then start with Jeff's new opening comment intro.
Today is absolutely superb. I love it. Everyone needs a great day once in a while and today is it. Thanks Rick and Jeff.
I am not feeling the best so it would probably be a good day for day dreaming and getting lost in the mind, lol.. If only I didn't have so much packing to do!
What ever, Luci....it was a serious question? We all emulate others. We are a reflection of our society, we are all visual by nature.

Stay on top of your school's duty of care with easy roll marking and powerful reporting
"With Clipboard, staff can easily mark attendance where ever they are and on any device! No matter where a session occurs, we are now always meeting our duty of care to students."
Mary-Kate Churcher
Head of Sport
Kincoppal-Rose Bay
Mark the roll anywhere, anytime
Your staff can mark attendance of their teams from their mobile device with ease, wherever they happen to be.
Always know when key events occur
You can set up notifications for absences and other customisable Flags (such as 'No gear', 'Arrived late') as you need them, so if a student is marked with an unexplained absence you get an email, or if they forget their gear for the third time this season their parents are notified.
Keep staff aware of expected absences
As Clipboard integrates with your school's systems, absences during the school day are automatically reflected on rolls. This means if a student left school at 2pm for a doctor's appointment, they will automatically appear as an 'Explained' absence on any Clipboard roll that afternoon.
Overview of all attendance in one place
Instead of receiving rolls in different formats from different people at different times, Clipboard gives you an overview of all attendance across every activity. View and track unmarked rolls and absent students, including the number of times each student has missed a session this season.

Eleven months have passed since Foursquare decided to split into 2 apps. Eleven long months during which Swarm users were left wondering why they should still check-in… the gamification and those mayorships we cherished, all that had made Foursquare what it was, was gone.
Well, it's time to rejoice, for mayorships are back on Swarm!
Also Read: Foursquare Might Finally Start To Make Money With Pinpoint
Yes, Foursquare has (finally) heard user feedback and brought back in the one feature that once made it so fun to use the app.
And it's game on from the very first day of what some already call the rebirth of Swarm. All your old mayorships are gone, so you will have to start from scratch to gain back those beloved mayorships you once claimed.
If you like our stories, there is an easy way to stay updated:
Follow @wersm
The rules have not changed however: you become the Mayor of a place by checking in more than anyone else in the last 30 days. Of course, only 1 check-in per day counts.
Swarm also now makes it easier to brag on Facebook or Twitter whenever you take over a mayorship or receive another sticker.
It's good to see mayorships come back to Swarm. There were always one of the most loved feature on the old Foursquare app. The question now is: is too late? There's no doubt Foursquare will now have to fight hard to win back the users who walked away just about a year ago.

Teen: Paper Valentine by Brenna Yovanoff
Hannah is haunted by her dead best friend - literally. Now a series of gruesome murders adds more ghosts to her sight, and Lillian doesn't have much more idea what to do than Hannah does. This was dark, sad, scary, and surprisingly hopeful by the end.
Tween: Hereville: How Mirka Met a Meteorite by Barry Deutsch
Mirka is back, and she's got someone new in her life: a meteorite that decided to take on human form, and is kinda trying to take over Mirka's life, too. This girl remains as fun, as flawed, and as relateable as she was in the first book.

There are several takeaways that are important to remember from this infographic.
1) Get The Most Out Of Your Time.
This can only be accomplished by first understanding where your time goes. Keep a journal that accounts for everything you do for a week. Even the most trivial amount of time should be recorded. You will be very surprised to see where the hours go. Minutes count so keep track of them all for one week. After the week review where you are losing time. Do you spend too much time chatting with friends? Are you on social media mindlessly scrolling? Pay attention to your time wasters and cut them out.
2) Take 30 Minutes Each Morning to Plan Your Time.
When you are planning out your day be sure to plan time for interruptions and breaks based on the information you collected during the week that you kept track of every minute of every day. After reviewing the information you will likely see that there was a pattern of when you are most likely to be interrupted or when you most likely will take a break.
3) Use The Do Not Disturb Sign.
It is fine to tell people to leave you alone that you have work, of course not in those words but a simple "do not disturb" sign will send the message without you having to say a word. While you are at it shut off your social media notifications. Social media can be an incredible time sucker. You start out checking on someone's post or update and before you know it 30 minutes has passed of you watching kittens and puppies doing strange things. Turn it off if you can.
4) Ignore Your Phone Ringing.
Just ignore your phone and realize that you do not have to respond to emails the minute they ping into your box. Just stay focused on the task at hand and ignore everything that is not relevant at the moment. The phone can wait and so can your emails.
5) Prepare Yourself for Each Task.
Before you write that email or pick up the phone take 5 minutes to think about what you want to get out of the call or the email. In other words prepare yourself to accomplish the task before you take on the task. It can help get your mind set in the right place instead of wasting time on chat and emails back and forth. Get to the point in your head before you ever make the call.

Camera goes to Nemesis office where he is sitting with Zheng.
Nemesis – Zheng, tonight I take back what is rightfully mine, tonight the TAW Title comes home to the commissioner!
Zheng looks at Nemesis blankly…..
Nemesis – I don't know why I bothered hiring you, now make yourself useful and make some coffee!
Zheng heads to the coffee machine as Nemesis loosens up for his title match!

Rock v2 Vs Abe Abercorn
Those famous words echo around the arena as Rock V2 makes his way to the ring to a huge pop from the crowd!
Abe Abercorn music starts to play as he makes his way to the ring, his eyes locked on Rock V2's the whole time.
The bell rings and Rock V2 takes the early advantage by putting Abercorn in a headlock which the young man struggles to escape from! Abercorn finally breaks the hold but when he does Rock V2 hits him with a powerful spinebuster!
RJ – Wow Rock looks on fire tonight, he really looks buoyed by his recent defeats to TGA and GWC!
Rock V2 starts to hit Abercorn with lefts and rights before hitting him with a clothesline that sends Abercorn crashing to the outside, Rock V2 follows Abercorn to the outside and sends him crashing into the steel steps, Rock then rolls his opponent into the ring and goes for the cover 1…2… kick out!
MW – How much more of this punishment can Abercorn take?
Abercorn gets to his feet and Rock V2 signals for the Rock Bottom but Abercorn reverses into into a Rock Bottom of his own, both men stagger to their feet but its Abercorn who reacts the quickest by irish whipping Rock into the turnbuckle, Abercorn lifts Rock onto the top of the turnbuckle and connects with a suplex of the top rope!
RJ – What a move by young Abe Abercorn, he has really recovered well from a poor early start!
Abercorn goes for the cover but Rock kicks out after 2, Abercorn then signals for the top rope but Rock realises what is happening and moves out of the way of Abercorns intended frogsplash. Rock irish whips Abercorn of the rops and hits him with a fierce samoan drop before removing his elbow pad, throwing it to the crowd and connecting with The Peoples Elbow!
RJ – That's gotta be it, he connected beautifully with that!
Rock goes for the cover 1…..2….. kick out. Rock stalks his opponent as he begins to get to his feet but as he goes once more for the rock bottom Abercorn rolls out of the ring leaving Rock V2 even more frustrated. Rock V2 then dives through the ropes and crashes into Abercorn leaving both men lying on the mat outside.
MW – Wow did you see that RJ, that was amazing, these two are really putting their bodies on the line out here!
Rock V2 gets to his feet first and rolls back into the ring breaking the refs count, Abercorn stands up on the apron and Rock V2 grabs him and throws him over the ropes and back into the ring. Rock V2 starts to stalk his opponent before going for the rock bottom once again but yet again Abercorn avoids it and sets up Rock V2 for a powerbomb which he connects with. Abe Abercorn signals for the end as he climbs to the top rope and hits a shooting star press of the top rope and makes the cover 1….2…..3!
RJ – Abercorn has won it, he has beaten Rock V2, Rock V2's losing streak continues here tonight.

Match 3
GWC/Enforcer Vs Crime Lord/Henchman
The Dynastys music plays as GWC, Enforcer, Crime Lord and Henchman all make their way out to the ring together! GWC grabs a mic.
GWC – Nemesis you may have buried River Ace, but you will never bury the dynasty, the dynasty is here to stay and together we will take you down, were gonna make you wish it was you that was 6 feet under you freak!
The bell sounds as GWC and Enforcer do rock, scissors and paper to see who starts out, Enforcer loses so him and Crime Lord get this tag match between the dynasty under way. The match starts off with Crime Lord circling around Enforcer with neither men knowing what to do, Crime Lord then points to Enforcer and hits him with the fingerpoke of doom sending Enforcer crashing to the mat. Crime Lord goes for the cover but GWC enters the ring to break it up and tells them not to be making the dynasty look stupid. They enter a battle of strength and Enforcer looks annoyed with Crime Lord when he outmuscles him. Enforcer signals for another battle of strength but instead kicks Crime Lord in the midsection and unleashes a flurry of right hands on Crime Lord!
RJ – Looks like Nemesis plan may be working here.
Enforcer tags in GWC who stalks Crime Lord before hitting him with a CWG. 1….2…. Henchman breaks the count. The ref orders Henchman out of the ring and GWC goes back to work on Crime Lord before whipping him into the turnbuckle Enforcer is standing at. GWC tags Enforcer back in and they double team him by landing a double suplex on Crime Lord. Crime Lord tries to get to his feet but before he does Enforcer hits him with a big boot sending him crashing to the mat! Enforcer looks like he is setting him up for a powerbomb when out of nowhere Crime Lord hits Enforcer with the Crime Pays! Both men are lying on the mat as the ref reaches the 9 count before Crime Lord somehow slides across the ring and tags Henchman in, Henchman enters and delivers a big boot to Enforcer before knocking GWC of the apron with a right hand, he starts to realise that he has just knocked his partner of the apron and leans over the ropes to apologise. Enforcer seizes the opportunity and rolls up Henchman 1….2….3!
RJ – GWC and Enforcer get the win but has this match affected the dynasty?
MW – Doesn't look like it RJ look at them in the ring.
All 4 men stand in the ring as the camera zooms in on GWC saying "you'll never split the dynasty"
Camera goes backstage showing Nemesis and Zheng Zi in the office as Nemesis watches on in the monitor!
Nemesis – That was fun, if they think that was tough just wait til they see what I have in store for the next few weeks haha! Zheng wheres that coffee?
Zheng walks over towards Nemesis and hands him a cup of coffee.

Match 4
JJ Johnson Vs TGA
JJ Johnson's music plays as The Franchise Initiative makes his way to the ring to a good pop from the sold out crowd. He enters the ring and starts to loosen up.
TGA's music plays as JJ Johnson looks down the ramp waiting for TGA to show, suddenly from out of the crowd TGA enters the ring without JJ Johnson knowing and kicks him in the back and continues to stomp on him as the ref signals for the bell to start the match.
TGA has JJ Johnson in the corner as he continues to punish him with a flurry of punches and stomps. He then drags him out of the corner and scoop slams him to the ground. TGA bounces of the ropes and falls on top of JJ Johnson with a big elbow, he looks for an early cover 1…2… kick out!
RJ – Looks like TGA has got the early initiative here after sneaking up on JJ Johnson from behind.
MW – Typical TGA, willing to try anything to win.
TGA goes to the second rope and waits for JJ Johnson to get to his feet before diving off the second rope and connecting with a diving clothesline. He again looks for the cover 1….2…. kick out! TGA gets annoyed with the referee who tells TGA it was a 2 count and not the 3 count TGA thought it should have been!
TGA signals for the He11 and Back and connects beautifully with it and looks for the covering hooking both legs 1….2….3!
TGA begins to celebrate but the ref notices that JJ Johnson's foot was on the rope and informs TGA that the match is not yet over. TGA looks really annoyed and applys a camel clutch on JJ Johnson who looks in serious pain as he desperately tries to make the ropes.
RJ – Surely JJ Jonson is going to tap here, he is in agony here, what an impressive showing this has been by TGA he's dominated this match so far!
JJ Johnson somehow manages to get his hand to the bottom rope as TGA is forced to break the hold. TGA begins to argue with the ref and as he turns around to go back to work on JJ Johnson he is met by a super kick from out of nowhere. Both men are out on the mat as the ref begins the count. 1…2…3….4…..5…..6…..7…..8 Both men get back to their feet as the count reaches 8 and Johnson is first to react and spheres TGA sending both men to the outside. JJ Johnson then lifts TGA up on his shoulder and sends him shoulder first into the ringpost. TGA is writhing in pain as JJ Johnson rolls him back into the ring and looks for a pinfall 1….2….. kick out by TGA!
MW – What a match we are seeing here, TGA looked in control earlier on but my how JJ Johnson has turned this one around.
JJ Johnson goes to the top rope and looks for a frogsplash but TGA realises what is happening and rolls out of the way just in time. Both men get to their feet at the same time but from out of nowhere JJ Johnson hits the VIP Experience.
RJ – The VIP Experience that's gotta be it!
JJ Johnson slowly crawls over to TGA and throws and arm over his chest 1…..2….. kick out!
MW – Do you believe that RJ? He kicked out! Maybe JJ took just too long in making the cover.
JJ Johnson makes it to his feet and waits for TGA to reach his feet before going for a clothesline which TGA avoids and JJ goes crashing into the referee! TGA takes advantage of the situation and hits JJ Johnson with a low blow, he then reaches into his shorts and takes out a set of brass knuckles. He nails JJ Johnson over the head with the brass knuckles. He then hoists JJ Johnson up for the Angelbomb and the ref comes around just in time to make the cover 1…..2……3.
RJ – TGA cheats his way to a victory, he needed brass knuckles to get the victory over JJ Johnson here tonight, the dynasty will go to any depths just to get a victory!
The ref raises TGA's arm in the air as TGA leaves the ring as the winner and leaves to loud boos from the crowd.
Nemesis appears on the titantron as JJ Johnson is rolling out of the ring.
Nemesis – I hope your all enjoying Nemesis first ever Lockdown tonight, if you think its been great so far just wait for the main event when the TAW Title comes back home to Nemesis (crowd boo).

RJ – This could spell trouble for Bezerker, remember anything goes here!

MW – Oh my god did you just see that, Hero is out for the count and the rest of this match looks like its going to be a 2 on 1.
From out of nowhere EZ Money dives through the ropes and takes both members of Trash TV to the ground! EZ Money then looks under the ring and pulls out a chair from underneath the ring, he smashes the chair of the skull of Hobo and then swings the chair at Bezerker who somehow manages to block the chair shot.

Last Saturday, I was at the end of my shift with my 'Off Duty' light on and doors locked, when there was a banging at my window. A lady, dressed like a club girl with a low cut, short, tight dress and a look of desperation. I rolled down my window, and before I could tell her I was off duty, she pleaded, "Please, can you take us to South Ferry?" She seemed close to tears, so I said, "Sure."
Three girls climbed into the back. All were wearing typical club gear, short tight dresses with stilettos. From their drunken and upset conversation, I was able to piece together what happened. They went clubbing and met up with some guy friends. They all went to one of the guy's apartment to continue the party. Girls #1 (the one banging on my window) was sitting on a bed with a couple of guys sharing a joint, when one guy held her down and the other started to fondle her breasts. She struggled and screamed, and they let her go. Meanwhile Girl #2 was sitting on the bathroom floor, having rid herself of excess alcohol, when another guy sat down next to her. He gave her a bottle of water and asked if she was feeling OK. She said she was doing better, and he went ahead and stuck his hand up her skirt.
So, the two girls grabbed their other friend and headed for the door. On they way out, one of the guys said something to the effect of, "If you're going to dress like sluts, you shouldn't be surprised if someone hits on you."
Two thoughts immediately come to mind:
- Groping a woman against her will isn't "hitting on." It's assault, plain and simple. And, assault is a crime.
- Even if a woman is dressed like a slut, it doesn't mean she is. And, even if she is one, it doesn't mean she wants to fuck you.
Some things are just so ripe for parody [SlutWalk isn't a joke.] they barely require jokes [Yes, jokes are unnecessary, but that isn't going to stop you.], which is why this post lacks even a clever title. (I mean, how the fuck am I supposed to top that phrase for eye-catchability?) Nope, the title of this post refers not to a promisucous method of locomotion nor some website where one can Google the fastest and least conspicuous walk-of-shame [Why does it have to be a walk-of-shame? Are you ashamed going home after a sleep-over? Why should she?] route home, (hmm, slutwalk.com ...I could totally see that...options for routes that take you past places you can get breakfast, streets where one can hail cabs or clothing stores to buy an outer layer of clothing so everyone doesn't know you're wearing the same clothes from yesterday...is that taken yet? If not, it's mine, bitch!) but an international event, coming soon to a city near you!Now, let me quote sjfbarnett, one of the founders of SlutWalk,
Where in the hell could one possibly get an idea like this and for what purpose? Well, for starters, we actually can blame Canada. This thing got and spread its legs in Toronto a few weeks ago when a police officer told a personal security class that they could "avoid being victimized by not dressing like a slut". Make of that sentence what you will [I make that sentence to be an ignorant cop victim-blaming rape victims.], but what a group of women in Toronto made of it was a 1,000 woman march of scantily clad women defending and demanding their right to...um...dress like sluts [No, it was a group of women demanding that police take sexual assault seriously and not dismiss women as 'sluts who had it coming.']. They were outraged at the suggestion that being dressed like something out of the back of an independent newspaper would garner negative attention [Correct, they were outraged. Are you implying that they deserved negative attention?]. Of course, a thousand women deep, no one was victimized, the march passed without incident, a tour of North America was planned, and the entire incident was cheered as a victory for women's rights...or...something. Of course, the question here is...what the fuck? [No, the question is...what the fuck don't you understand?]
Since when did sluttiness become a positive attribute? [Are you saying women should remain virginal? Are you a virgin? Waiting until marriage? Or do you have sex? Ever do anything slutty yourself? Ever fuck a slut? A double standard exists in which men get to sleep around as much as they want, but any sexually liberated woman is dismissed as a slut. The idea of a woman saving it until marriage dates back to the time when women were considered PROPERTY. Women were the property of their fathers until they were given to another man in marriage. We live in a time when most people realize that no one owns a woman except herself. And, she has the right to do as she please with herself and her sexuality. If you have a problem with that, it is your problem.] Why are women out there marching for their right to resemble dickholsters? [Is that how you view some women? As a place to park your dick? Just a come receptacle?] With all the problems out there facing women today...domestic violence, breast cancer, workplace discrimination, no more Oprah episode...you pick THIS cause to get riled up for? [Judging by your ignorant ass post, you need some educating. As do millions of other men and women. That's worth getting riled up for.] Really? [Yeah, really.] A slut walk? It's not even like it's a word with colloquial connotations that can be reclaimed. [They will reclaim it, despite you.] It's just a foul-ass word. [No where near as foul-assed as 'dickholster.']I mean, I can get away with calling bitches bitches, [That's pretty fucked up, too.] the bitches call other bitches that all the time and don't seem to particularly mind me doing so, as long as it's in the correct context...but let me call a bitch a slut without wearing an athletic cup and the only person who will regret it more than me are my kids who will never be born. Why would anybody want to be labeled a slut? [There are plenty of sexually proud women who want to be positively labeled a slut, and they expect you to respect that.] Susan B. Anthony risked being tarred and feathered so women could vote, in twentyleven we're struggling over the right to wear a bra as clothing or a negligee to the supermarket. [No, they are fighting for the right to be safe and respected.] Where the fuck are we at as a society? [Apparently, we still have a ways to progress.]
(I need you to read this next paragraph v e r y carefully [OK, read it a few times. Every time I got angrier.] ...don't comment with no bullshit, please. [I'll do my best, though the paragraph is pure bullshit.])
Not only that, but...it's not like Officer Maple Leaf [I like the nickname. Only thing you got right so far.] didn't have a point. I don't have any statistics to back me up, [It's called Google.] so honestly I'm quite fucked if you call me on that...but it would certainly stand to reason that people who lock their doors are less likely to be a target for home invasion. [In this case, no cop, or anybody else, would question whether a crime was committed. It would be reported and investigated as a home invasion. But, if a woman dressed as a slut gets raped, people, would question whether it was a rape. She would be put on trial herself. People would say that she had it coming. People would say that if she wasn't a slut, it wouldn't have happened. And, that's the point of SlutWalk. Women have the right to dress like and be sluts and have their safety taken seriously by police and society.] It would also make sense that a locked car is less likely to be stolen, [Don't equate a woman's safety with a fucking car. Just don't] that carefully watched children are less likely to get snatched, [Child snatching, while tragic, is relatively rare. There were 248,300 sexual assaults in 2007. That comes to about one assault every two minutes.] that money kept hidden from others is less likely to be hidden from you later, or that your girlfriend is far less likely to find all those nekkid pics in your phone [Who sent you those naked pictures behind you girlfriend's back? Was it a slut? I hope you treated her with the respect she deserved.] if you keep that secure too. See where I'm going with this? I'm not, repeat, not, one mo'ginn, NOT saying that women who choose to look like they cost $50 [Slut does not equal whore. Learn that. And a whore who charges only $50 is either engaged in survival prostitution or she's a slave.] deserve to be attacked [I'm glad you realize they don't deserve to be assaulted. I just hope you realize that with your attitude (like calling a slut a 'dickholster') is contributing to the problem. It is your duty to respect ALL women, and preach it to your friends, family and neighbors to RESPECT WOMEN.] ...just saying there are certain steps one can take to decrease the likelihood of being targeted, [Read on to the end; I'll give you a whole list of steps to keep a woman from being targeted.] and keeping one's nipples on the inside when you're on the outside is one of those steps. [And, another step is re-educating guys like you.]
Of course, who gives a damn what I think [Perhaps the 1 in 6 women who are victims of sexual assault give a damn.]...the Slut Walk will be in Philadelphia on June 17, and I'm sure there will be a very heavy turnout (if only to self-identify). People will wear whatever they want, and that's cool with me...hell, I'm definitely not gonna sit here and say women should wear those black ghost costumes some Muslim women wear [Seriously dude, how can you write that and not see the irony? Muslim women are often forced to wear those 'black ghost costumes' because Muslim men are not held responsible for their actions. The belief is that men can be driven crazy by the sexuality of women, and that if a woman shows the slightest bit of skin, it is her fault if she gets raped. Many Muslim countries blame, imprison, or stone a woman if she is raped. The man walks free. That is victim-blaming taken to the extreme. Even though you say that women should not have to wear 'black ghost costumes,' you are saying that a woman shouldn't dress immodestly. You are still implying that women are partially responsible if they are attacked. That is victim-blaming. It is wrong.] or anything, but realize there are certain inherent risks to wearing any controversial clothing. An "I (heart) the KKK" t-shirt, while perfectly legal to wear, might get your face stomped down your throat if worn in the wrong area. [Since you bring up the KKK, let me say that your grandparents could have gotten their asses stomped just for them being in the wrong neighborhood. I hope you wouldn't say that they shouldn't have been there. Fifty years ago, black men and women fought and died for the right for you to live in a desegregated country. This country has made great gains for equality since then. But only for the MEN. Women have been left behind. Black women carry the stereotype of being easy, sluts, or whores. With your attitudes towards women, you are helping to perpetuate those stereotypes.] A Speedo worn to Wal-Mart technically falls within the limits of the law, but will get you put on somebody's Facebook wall as a funny picture [Don't equate being mocked on Facebook with being raped.] (I know that because I would be the guy to do it).
Hell...a red shirt could get you shot in the wrong hood [There's a big difference with being sexually liberated and being a gangbanger.] ...so why are we surprised that people who dress like hoes are often mistaken for them? [It's all about attitude and perception. Change yours, and you might be able to notice the difference.] Who knows...all I know is I'm strongly debating renting an electric blue leisure suit, feathered hat and a bejeweled cane and standing near the Slut Walk when it comes handing out fake job applications just for fun. [Please don't] Hey...that's what sluts are good for, right? [Fuck you.] Now get out there and get me my mon-aaaaay [Seriously, fuck you.]....lol...
I would label myself a 'slut' before a 'feminist' {funny, since I avoided the latter due to what I considered the bad reputation it had}. I've always enjoyed sex, hot sex, consensual sex. Starting to discover this in high school, I got the reputation of 'slut', and was pretty pissed that I got stuck with that label, when the guys I slept with got high fives. But despite the shame of such a label, it didn't stop me from enjoying a good fuck.
I always told myself that should a high school reunion come 'round, I'd never go. I didn't want to walk in and have people think or say "oh yeah; you were such a a slut" {although, now that I think of it, sleeping with a handful of guys over my entire high school career doesn't seem like much}. But in the last few years, I've come to embrace my sluthood, especially after honing a certain code. Sex should always be between consenting adults, and all parties involved {because sometimes there are more than two} need to know and be fine with such an intimate exchange. To be honest, I can't respect someone who doesn't live by a similar code. Anything involving lies and deception is something I don't want to be near. To me, it's a judgement of character. Excusable in high school students, not so much in adulthood.
So when The Ethical Slut finally landed on my bookshelf, I felt vindicated. I could finally dump the learned shame of enjoying sex. I've seen people do way worse to others and never get labeled with such a harsh word originally meant to inflict a serious sting. So to hell with those who thought I was a bad person for enjoying sex, who thought I was less deserving of respect.And, as promised, guidelines for preventing rape:
Having been a confident slut for sometime, this January the word was slung out again as an epithet, but this time it wasn't by a high school kid. It was by someone who demands respect by way of authority. Someone who's charged with a person's safety. Someone who should know better. So when I read the quote in the Excal, "don't dress like a slut…", I could almost hear the blame dripping from the word.

Creating an eBay Template allows you to quickly apply listing settings to your items in bulk.
Because some of the fields in the eBay Template are required by eBay, you must create a template before you can list.
What we'll cover:
- Creating and Applying an eBay Template in SolidSync
- Tips for Populating Your eBay Template
- Using eBay Business Policies to Set Your Shipping, Payment, and Return Options
- Related Article
Creating and Applying an eBay Template in SolidSync
1) Verify that the EBAY CATEGORY selected for each Bigcommerce store category is correct.
The EBAY CATEGORY will determine whether we create an eBay Motors or eBay US template.
2) Add an eBay Template by clicking the plus sign (+) to the right of any store category.
3) Populate the fields in the template.
The Tips for Populating Your eBay Template section below reviews some of the required fields and provides other helpful information.
4) Click Save.
5) You can apply the same template to multiple store categories by selecting it from the TEMPLATE drop-down.
The drop-down menu will only contain saved templates that work with the EBAY CATEGORY set for that store category.
If you don't see any templates in the drop-down, you must create a new one for that category.
6) To edit a template, click on the pencil icon.
Tips for Populating Your eBay Template
- You must offer at least one Domestic Shipping Option. International shipping is optional.
- You have the option to charge buyers shipping fees. However, there are many benefits to offering free shipping on your listings:
- Buyers cannot leave negative feedback about your shipping fees.
- eBay provides better visibility in the search results to sellers offering free shipping.
- eBay charges Final Value Fees on shipping fees in addition to the product price.
- If you want eBay to calculate the shipping fees they charge your buyer, you will need to provide a Ship From Zip Code.
- Calculated shipping also requires you to provide Package Information and to select a specific shipping method instead of a generic one.
- EXAMPLE: With calculated shipping, you cannot select Standard Shipping as an Offered Mail Service, you must select something like USPS First Class Package or UPS Ground.
- If you offer flat rate shipping, you can populate either the Ship From Zip Code or the Ship From Location field. You don't need to populate both.
Business Policies and Payment Options
- You can apply the business policies you created in your eBay seller manager account to your listings. To use a business policy, provide the ID number eBay assigned it in the Shipping Profile ID, Payment Profile ID, or Return Profile ID field.
- For more information, see the section below, Using eBay Business Policies to Set Your Shipping, Payment, and Return Options.
- You must offer PayPal as a Payment Method.
- Don't forget to enter your PayPal email address in the eBay Global Settings section on the left of the SolidSync user interface.
- Some of the Payment Methods other than PayPal (such as credit cards) require approval by eBay.
- If you try to offer Payment Methods that eBay hasn't authorized you for, eBay will return errors when you try to list your items.
Using eBay Business Policies to Set Your Shipping, Payment, and Return Options
eBay's business policies allow sellers to create shipping, payment, and return profiles directly in their eBay seller manager accounts. The largest benefit of using a business policy is that when you revise a policy, eBay will automatically update all the listings that have that policy applied.
NOTE: eBay only makes business policies available to some sellers. Not everyone has access. If business policies are available to you, you will see an opt-in in the Sell section of My eBay.
For full information, please see eBay's Help: http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/business-policies.html.
To apply a business policy to the listings you create through SolidSync:
1) Find the policy ID number that eBay assigned your business policy by clicking on the title of one of your eBay business policies in eBay's user interface.
The policy ID number appears after the = sign at the end of the URL address in your web browser.
2) Copy the policy ID number.
3) Enter the policy ID number into the corresponding field in your SolidSync eBay Template:
- Shipping Policy: The Shipping Profile ID field in the Basic Listing Information section.
- Payment Policy: The Payment Profile ID field in the Payment Options section.
- Return Policy: The Return Profile ID field in the Return / Warranty Policy section.
4) If you use a business policy, you don't need to populate the related section in your eBay Template.
EXAMPLE: You enter an eBay shipping business policy into your SolidSync template. You don't need to populate the "Domestic Shipping Options," "International Shipping Options," or "Package Information" sections of the eBay Template.

United States District Court, D. South Dakota, Central Division
September 8, 2015
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff,v.GILBERT OLIVER CROW EAGLE, JR., a/k/a LEONARD OLIVER, Defendant.
ROBERTO A. LANGE, District Judge.
Following a jury trial on February 27, 28, 29, and March 1, 2012, Defendant Gilbert Oliver Crow Eagle, Jr., also known as Leonard Oliver ("Crow Eagle"), was convicted on two counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child and two counts of abusive sexual contact, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1153, 2241(c), 2244(a)(1), 2246(2)(A), 2246(2)(C), and 2246(3). Doc. 118 at 1. The United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit affirmed Crow Eagle's conviction and sentence. Docs. 134, 135; United States v. Crow Eagle, 705 F.3d 325 (8th Cir. 2013) (per curiam).
On February 17, 2015, Crow Eagle filed a prose Motion for New Trial under Rule 33(b)(1) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, which allows three years for a defendant to file a new trial motion "grounded on newly discovered evidence." Doc. 138. Crow Eagle primarily stated two arguments in his motion. First, he asserted that two material witnesses-Shannon Oliver Broken Leg ("Shannon") and Dusti Rose Oliver ("Dusti")-have recanted their testimony and stated that they were compelled to give false testimony. Doc. 138 at 2-4. Crow Eagle's second argument- concerning underrepresentation of Native Americans on his jury and in the pool-was denied by this Court on February 25, 2015, as "not grounded on newly discovered evidence.'" Doc. 140. In addition to the two primary arguments, Crow Eagle also asserted malicious prosecution and claimed that his due process rights were violated. Doc. 138 at 2-3. He requested an evidentiary hearing. Doc. 138 at 3. The Government opposed Crow Eagle's motion and set forth argument and authorities why Crow Eagle was not entitled to relief. Doc. 139.
This Court then entered an Order Directing Defendant to Reply, part of which stated:
Defendant's affidavit contains hearsay information about alleged recantation. For this Court to determine whether an evidentiary hearing is needed and whether appointment of counsel is merited, this Court needs to receive an affidavit from the Defendant at a minimum and ideally from those who heard alleged recantations detailing by whom, when, where, and to whom such alleged recantation statements were made and what was said, as well as when, how, and from whom Defendant learned of the alleged recantations.
Doc. 141 at 2. Thereafter, Crow Eagle signed and filed an affidavit asserting that a person who is now dead heard Shannon recant her statements. Doc. 142. Crow Eagle also submitted two letters from the person who ostensibly heard the dead man's hearsay statement about Shannon's alleged recantation, but those two letters do not corroborate that she recanted her testimony. Doc. 142-1. For the reasons explained below, the remainder of Defendant's Motion for New Trial is denied.
Shannon and Dusti are both victims and nieces of Crow Eagle. At trial, Shannon testified that one night between 1991 and 1993, when she was eight to nine years old, Crow Eagle rubbed her vaginal area over her clothing. Doc. 99-1 at 57-66. Dusti testified that between 1998 and 1999, when she was six to seven years old, Crow Eagle rubbed her vaginal area over her clothing on numerous occasions. Doc 99-1 at 82-88. Dusti also testified that the abuse escalated to sexual intercourse, followed by intimidation by Crow Eagle to keep her silent. Doc. 99-1 at 89-95.
The government presented additional witnesses who testified about similar abuse by Crow Eagle. Crow Eagle's younger sister, Carlene Oliver, testified Crow Eagle had sexually abused her when she was six or seven years old, and the abuse continued until she was approximately eighteen. Doc. 99-1 at 228-233. Another niece of Crow Eagle, Jeri lee Oliver, testified that she was sexually abused by Crow Eagle on more than twenty occasions beginning when she was seven years old. Doc. 99-1 at 188-99. Yet another niece of Crow Eagle, Jamie Oliver, also testified that Crow Eagle had attempted to sexually assault her when she was ten or eleven years old. Doc. 99-1 at 10-12, 16-20.[1]
The government also presented testimony from Eric Oliver, Crow Eagle's nephew, and Bernadette Oliver, Shannon and Dusti's mother. Eric Oliver testified that he and his sister, Shannon, had slept over at Crow Eagle's home and were babysat by Crow Eagle when they were younger. Doc. 99-2 at 196-98. Bernadette testified that Crow Eagle had babysat both Dusti and Shannon. Doc. 99-2 at 13, 30-31. Bernadette also testified that she confronted Crow Eagle about sexually assaulting Shannon. Doc. 99-2 at 25-26. When she asked him why he had sexually assaulted her daughter, Crow Eagle replied, "That's what they get." Doc. 99-2 at 25-26.
Crow Eagle did not testify and argued that he did not sexually abuse anyone. He produced testimony that Shannon and Dusti had not stayed with him, that he had not taken care of them, and that did not he have access to sexually assault them. See, e.g., Doc. 99-2 at 127, 156-57, 186. The jury found Crow Eagle guilty of sexually abusing Shannon and Dusti. Doc. 80. Crow Eagle was acquitted on Count 5, an alleged sexual assault of Britney Sharpfish. Doc. 80.
Nearly three years after his conviction and sentencing, Crow Eagle filed the present motion for new trial. Doc. 138. To initially support his claim, Crow Eagle submitted an affidavit of his own dated February 10, 2015. Doc. 138-1 at 2. Crow Eagle's affidavit states he has been contacted by witnesses who have heard that Shannon and Dusti recanted their trial testimony. Doc. 138-1 at 2. Crow Eagle became aware of these claimed recantations between May 4, 2012 and August 8, 2014, when he had a phone conversation with Keith Horse Looking ("Horse Looking"). Doc. 138-1 at 2. Specifically, Crow Eagle asserts that "Dale Eagle Deer personally witnessed Shannon Oliver Broken Leg recant her testimony and state it was her dad, Marlon and others who had sexually abused her and Dusti Rose Oliver." Doc. 138-1 at 2. Thereafter, this Court entered its Order Directing Defendant to Reply with more specific information, noting Crow Eagle's affidavit contains hearsay information. Doc. 141.
Crow Eagle subsequently filed a second affidavit which stated he "was told by Keith Horse Looking that Keith had been contacted by Dale Eagle Deer about Shannon recanting her allegations...." Doc. 142. Dale Eagle Deer passed away and has given no sworn testimony by affidavit or otherwise. Doc. 142. Crow Eagle also submitted family photographs to this Court and asserted that such photographs are proof there was no sexual abuse. Doc. 142. Crow Eagle further claimed that he was unable to subpoena witnesses in Iowa, that he previously stopped his nephews from harming Shannon, that the nephews were "telling their parents [Crow Eagle] was bothering the girls, " and that he "never harmed or touched any of his relatives." Doc. 142.
Crow Eagle also submitted two letters from Horse Looking. Doc. 142-1. Horse Looking's first letter stated that he was told by Dale Broken Leg (" Broken Leg")[2] that Crow Eagle "did not do that crime." Doc. 142-1 at 1. Horse Looking was unable to recall what date this conversation occurred and acknowledged that Broken Leg is deceased. Doc. 142-1 at I. Horse Looking's first letter also stated that "everybody knows [Crow Eagle] is innocent" and that Broken Leg said other men assaulted "this girl... several times." Doc. 142-1 at 1. Horse Looking's ...

Obama says children from low-income families hear 30 million fewer words than peers by age 3
Words, words, words. President Barack Obama is certainly fond of them. His recent speech on economic issues, in which he backed a minimum wage increase, included more than 6,500.
But what about a point Obama made in the speech about how the income gap affects young children?
"By the time she turns 3 years old, a child born into a low-income home hears 30 million fewer words than a child from a well-off family, which means by the time she starts school, she's already behind," he said.
Just for comparison's sake, 30 million words would be equivalent to 4,615 Obama speeches.
But did he get his fact right? We'd never heard of this finding before, so we took a closer look.
When we asked the White House for a source, a spokesman pointed us to research from the mid 1990s and early 2000s by child psychologists Betty Hart and Todd Risley.
They published their findings in a book, Meaningful Differences in the Everyday Experience of Young American Children. Over several years, the pair observed families of different socioeconomic statuses, based on education and income levels, and found that better-off families engaged their children more frequently with language.
They found a 30 million "word gap" by age 3 between students of divergent socioeconomic classes. That's one piece of evidence, they argued, to explain the "achievement gap," a term educators and researchers have used to explain why lower-income students start kindergarten on worse footing.
The word gap, along with other issues, leaves preschool educators to fix existing educational shortfalls, said Dana Suskind, a doctor and researcher at the University of Chicago. She's also the director of Thirty Million Words Initiative, one of many advocacy and research groups whose work revolves around the Hart and Risley research.
"This early language and vocabulary gap are really the beginnings of the achievement gap that we see continuing on through the end of high school and through life," Suskind said.
Obama and others often bring up the concept of 30 million words because early childhood exposure to language comes at a crucial time in brain development, said Samuel Odom, a child development researcher at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.
When asked if any scientist has called the 30 million word gap into question, Suskind told us it's "pretty well-accepted" as the norm in the field. In addition, she and two other experts agreed that Obama had summed up the research accurately.
Suskind offered just one caveat: While Obama described the norm, there's variation from family to family. Some low-income families speak to and interact with their kids more, and some more affluent families don't.
"No socioeconomic group has cornered the market on loving their kids and wanting their kids to succeed," she said. "You can't generalize economic groups."
Our ruling
Obama said that less-affluent children are behind by the time they start school because they have heard about 30 million fewer words than peers from higher-income families. Experts say studies clearly support Obama's point. We rate Obama's statement True.
Editor's note: This item was edited after initial publication to clarify that researchers studied the word gap of children up to age 3, not age 5.
