Sunday liquor sales come up every year at the Capitol, but have found little success.
A Duluth lawmaker is pushing a bill that would legalize liquor sales on Sundays, even though he admits its chances are slim.
Sen. Roger Reinert says consumers have wanted the change for years, the Star Tribune ( http://bit.ly/11Gi44R ) reports.
The bill's opponents, including the Minnesota Licensed Beverage Association, say the change would cause problems for liquor stores.
Sunday liquor sales come up every year at the Capitol, but have found little success. Reinert tried the same bill in 2011, but it stalled after passing one committee. A Republican-backed amendment to a liquor bill that would have legalized Sunday sales last year failed.
Minnesota is one of 12 states that still outlaw Sunday liquor sales. All of Minnesota's neighboring states allow it.

It's been a wild week for Gizmodo. The popular tech blog got what could be considered the tech scoop of the year (and possibly of the past decade) when it laid hands upon a prototype fourth generation iPhone.
According to Gizmodo's numerous stories on the topic, the phone was left behind at Gourmet Haus Staudt, a bar in Redwood City, California specializing in German suds. The person that found the phone tried to contact Apple directly in order to return the phone. The quest to find someone at Apple who could identify the lost prototype proved unfruitful.
Interestingly, the person who found the phone didn't hand the lost phone over to a bartender or appear to try to contact the person that actually lost the phone. The name of the person was gleaned from his Facebook profile on the iPhone and all of his pertinent information was available — we know this because Gizmodo outed the Apple employee that actually lost the phone.
In the end, Gizmodo ended up paying $5,000 to the person that found the iPhone and ran with the story. Gizmodo later returned the iPhone prototype at the behest of Apple after it a finished a dissection.
According to Apple guru John Gruber, the iPhone in question is indeed a late prototype judging by its barcode:
One of the barcodes attached to the unit read "N90_DVT_GE4X_0493". According to several sources (of mine) familiar with the project, "N90" is Apple's codename for the fourth-generation GSM iPhone, slated for release this June or July. "DVT" stands for "design verification test", an Apple production milestone. The DVT milestone is very late in the game; based on this, I now believe that this unit very closely, if not exactly, resembles what Apple plans to release.
Now, almost a week later, the police are involved according to CNET. Police in the Silicon Valley-area are now investigating whether the actions of Gizmodo and the person who found the phone were criminal and if there is enough evidence to file charges. The investigation is being headed by a computer crimes task force based out of the Santa Clara County DA's office.
CNET also reports that Apple has been in contact with the authorities regarding the incident.
The boys over at Gizmodo and Gawker Media are probably sweating a bit now that the police are involved, but the Apple employee who lost the phone may actually have a free getaway to Germany waiting for him. Lufthansa has offered the unlucky fellow a free flight to Germany where he can continue his love for great beer.
"At Lufthansa we also noted with great interest your passion for German beer and culture," said Lufthansa's marketing director for the Americas, Nicola Lange. "We thought you could use a break soon–and therefore would like to offer you complimentary business class transportation to Munich, where you can literally pick up where you last left off."

Missouri House of Representatives Speaker Pro Tem Jason Smith's legislation that would clarify the process for filling statewide office vacancies is one step closer to approval by the House.
Smith's legislation, HB 110, was approved by a vote of 11-1 by the House Elections Committee Jan. 15. The bill is the first legislation to receive committee approval in the House this session.
Smith (R-Salem), who represents the 120th District, said the bill, which would require special elections to fill vacancies in the offices of lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, state auditor, state treasurer and U.S. Senator, is one he has filed for the last several years.
HB 110 bill would require the governor to call a special election to fill a statewide vacancy at the same time as a scheduled general election. Smith said the change would prevent any additional cost from being passed on to Missouri taxpayers.
Smith's legislation would allow the governor to appoint a temporary officeholder to fill the vacancy until the election takes place.
If passed, the bill would clarify what would happen to a vacant lieutenant governor posiition if current Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder is successful in his bid to become the next U.S. congressional representative for Missouri's Eighth District. U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, who is resigning,
Smith, himself, also has expressed interest in her seat.
State law is unclear on how a new lieutenant governor would be selected. According to the Associated Press, the state constitution gives the governor authority to "fill all vacancies in public offices unless otherwise provided by law."
However a Missouri law states that when there is a vacancy in an elected office "other than in the offices of lieutenant governor, state senator or representative, sheriff or recorder of deeds in the city of St. Louis, the vacancy shall be filled by appointment by the governor."
In the past, governors have appointed new lieutenant governors when there were vacancies.
The AP states that Missouri's most recent lieutenant governor vacancy arose in 2000 when Democratic Lt. Gov. Roger Wilson became governor after the death of Mel Carnahan. After that year's election, Wilson appointed just-elected Democratic Lt. Gov. Joe Maxwell to start his tenure early.
Decades earlier, Democratic Gov. Warren Hearnes in 1969 appointed just-elected Lt. Gov. William S. Morris to fill the remainder of Thomas Eagleton's term after Eagleton left for the U.S. Senate before his term ended.
However, the state Senate leader at that time refused to recognize the appointment, called it illegal and threatened to throw Morris out of the chamber if he came to preside. Morris ultimately waited until his elected term began.
Even further back, state records seem to indicate that after Lt. Gov. Wilson Brown died in August 1855 partway through his term, the office remained vacant until after the 1856 election.
"The governor is already on record – he believes he has the authority to appoint a successor should the lieutenant governor's office have a vacancy," said Smith.
"While there is precedent for the governor making an appointment, it clearly flies in the face of our existing state laws. My legislation will make it crystal clear that the voice of the people will be heard when filling a vacancy for this office and other statewide offices," said Smith.
"It's outrageous that the will of the people could be denied in filling a statewide office," said Smith. "My legislation is structured to give the people a say, and to do it without creating a financial burden for Missouri taxpayers. I'm hopeful we can move this common sense change into law this session."
Smith's bill now moves to the House Rules Committee for approval. Smith said he believes that bi-partisan support in both the House and Senate give the bill its best chance yet to become law.
The bill contains an emergency clause that would put it into effect as law upon being signed by the governor.

In the New York Times bestselling novel "A Land More Kind Than Home," Pastor Chambliss leads a small town down a tragic path with a Bible in one hand and a rattlesnake in the other.
The book's author, Wiley Cash, became captivated by the land and people of Southern Appalachia when he was 14. From that moment, the Gastonia native began his plans to attend the University of North Carolina Asheville and study creative writing.
On Friday, Cash, now 35 and living in West Virginia, will return to Western North Carolina as the featured artist for Blue Ridge Bookfest at Blue Ridge Community College.
UNCA literature professor David Hopes remembers Cash fondly.
"He was always the best, and people would be in awe when (Cash) would read," Hopes said of his former student, "but it's not like he was acting out in any way. I think that was what first led me to believe that he was so completely genuine about it."
Hopes said he's not surprised Cash has become the talented and renowned author that he is, but when Cash was a student, he never spoke of wanting to write as a career.
"I used to think he's too handsome to be a writer," Hopes said, adding that Cash is exceptionally charming.
Hopes assumed Cash, a 2000 UNCA graduate, would go on to work in politics because he was well-liked and politically active. At UNC Asheville, Cash was a leader in the Sigma Nu fraternity and was student body president.
"He worked as hard as anybody I know, and it turned out better because he had talent," Hopes said. "You know a lot of people work hard and don't have talent."
As a student, Cash was always curious, but not vocal about his writing plans. Instead of talking about what was going on in his head, he foraged for information and inspiration throughout Western North Carolina.
Cash was fascinated by "The Holy Ghost People," a documentary on snake handling shown by his history professor, Dan Pierce. In a telephone interview, Cash said he's probably watched the film 20 times since he first saw it in Pierce's class.
"I always debated with myself of whether to do it, the whole snake handling thing," Pierce said.
Since the topic lends itself easily to stereotypes, Pierce said he tends to be apprehensive about exploring the subject, but was pleased to see Cash's approach in the novel.
"I was very pleased with his accuracy," Pierce said. "He talked about snake handling, but they were real people and I think that's an important thing."
"A Land More Kind Than Home" began as a short story Cash was writing in spring of 2004. While working on his Ph.D. at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, Cash read a news story about an African-American boy who was smothered to death during a healing service at a church in inner-city Chicago.
Cash wanted to try to tell the little boy's story, but knew nothing about what life as an African-American boy in Chicago was like. So he decided to set his story in the place he loved and missed most — Western North Carolina.
The novel is set in Marshall and focuses on the members of a church near the French Broad River where a new pastor has come to town. The church is a small concrete building with newspapers covering the windows. Its people and happenings are a mystery to the rest of the community, and the reader.
The story is told from the perspective of three characters: Adelaide Lyle, the sweet devout Sunday school teacher; Jess Hall, a curious boy trapped by circumstance; and Sheriff Clem Barefield, the resounding voice of reason throughout the chaotic tragedy that overtakes the community.
"I wanted these characters to represent the community and speak for the community, so I wanted them to be as well-rounded as possible," Cash said. "I wanted them to portray different elements of the community."
Cash's use of the three narrators forces the reader to constantly guess what is going to happen next, and then helps to explain each situation piece by piece from a new perspective.
"Jess, the little boy, is kind of the emotional component of the story. Adelaide is the safe component, and Clem is the very rational, stoic component, the narrator closest to the reader's perspective," he said.
The novel begins with Adelaide's choice to begin her Sunday school program because she feels the church is no longer an appropriate place for the children to be. Little Jess is one of her students who likes to wander off down the river with his friend, Joe Bill, but their wandering and curiosity soon teaches them why they shouldn't be spying on adults. After seeing something that can never be unseen, Jess is caught battling to do the right thing.
During Cash's first reading of "A Land More Kind Than Home" in Asheville, he spoke to a standing-room-only crowd at Malaprop's Bookstore. Many who knew Cash went to the event and were amazed by the crowd he had drawn because of the book.
His former adviser for student government, Kevan Frazier, said he was excited to hear Cash speak.
"He just had the whole crowd captivated," Frazier said, "not even reading his story yet, but just talking about how he got to that point even before he started doing the reading."
Those attending this year's Blue Ridge Bookfest will have an opportunity to enjoy a similar experience.
On Friday, Cash and other featured authors will attend a reception from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 and will be available at the door or in advance at the Visitors Information Center in Hendersonville. After the reception, Cash will deliver an address at 6:30 p.m.
Starting at 8 a.m. Saturday, more than 40 authors will be in the BRCC technology building for book signings.
There will also be presentations by Cash, L. Charles Fiore, Walt Larimore, Jay Leutze, David Madden, Matt Matthews, Rob Neufield, Jack Prather, Kerry Reichs, Shirrel Rhoades, Michel Stone, John Wood, Loretta Hayward and Scotti Cohn.
Cash's second novel, to be released early next year, is set in Gastonia. It's about a washed-up minor league baseball player who kidnaps his daughters from foster care.
The story also reflects the mountains and Southern culture he holds deep in his heart.
"I'll probably be writing about it for the rest of my life," Cash said.

...There are no major neurological differences between the sexes, says Cordelia Fine in her book Delusions of Gender, which will be published by Icon next month. There may be slight variations in the brains of women and men, added Fine, a researcher at Melbourne University, but the wiring is soft, not hard. "It is flexible, malleable and changeable," she said.
In short, our intellects are not prisoners of our genders or our genes and those who claim otherwise are merely coating old-fashioned stereotypes with a veneer of scientific credibility. It is a case backed by Lise Eliot, an associate professor based at the Chicago Medical School. "All the mounting evidence indicates these ideas about hard-wired differences between male and female brains are wrong," she told the Observer.
"Yes, there are basic behavioural differences between the sexes, but we should note that these differences increase with age because our children's intellectual biases are being exaggerated and intensified by our gendered culture. Children don't inherit intellectual differences. They learn them. They are a result of what we expect a boy or a girl to be."
Thus boys develop improved spatial skills not because of an innate superiority but because they are expected and are encouraged to be strong at sport, which requires expertise at catching and throwing. Similarly, it is anticipated that girls will be more emotional and talkative, and so their verbal skills are emphasised by teachers and parents.

Study: Behavioral Differences Between the Sexes Not Hard-wired
33 comments:
"Yes, there are basic behavioural differences between the sexes"
So there really are basic and important hard wired differences.

If you quoted that whole passage, you'd be made aware of the fact that those differences are made more because of gendered differences in the culture. Yes, if you partially quote things you will fail to see the importance of socialization, but that doesn't change the studies main finding.
- August 23, 2010 at 12:52 PM
Psychology isn't science, let alone hard science, let alone capable of judging neurological differences.
I'd trust, say, a neurologist. Not a feminist psychologist with an agenda to push.

Above = comment FAIL.

I should add to that, by saying we're still animals, and we still have basic instinctual differences between sexes, just like every other animal on the planet.
- August 23, 2010 at 12:59 PM
Why is it "FAIL"?
Explain that to me, please.
Psychology is not what is considered a hard science. It's behavioral. It doesn't study the actual human brain, it studies feelings/etc.
Neurology studies the actual brain. One only has to go to this woman's website to see she's a feminist with an agenda to push. She's not a scientist.
No actual studies were done.
I know you're very eager to jump on this as a justification that you're correct, but, these are all based on her behavioral psych, not on actual neurological fact.
As I said in my secondary comment, we are animals. Animals have "gender roles". So do humans. It's not because of "patriarchy" or anything else, and all the feminism in the world won't change that. Nor will all the evolution. At our core, we're still animals, and in the animal kingdom, the sexes serve different functions.
Just because we like to dress ourselves up and drive cars doesn't make us less animals.

My apologies, Anon (is it safe to assume that you are the sole writers of all the comments here? I'm operating on that assumption.). It was a fail because of your assumption that the author was "a feminist psychologist with an agenda to push" as a means of discrediting the findings that you just can't get behind.
- August 23, 2010 at 1:07 PM
I discredit her "findings" because she's a behavioral psychologist, not a scientist. Also because her supposed findings happen to line perfectly with her agenda.

Ok, I'm done hearing about your ideas about her "agenda." That's just bullshit. There, I said it. Consider your future comments rejected if you don't want to change your tune.
- August 23, 2010 at 1:41 PM
- Amelia said...
I rejected Anon's most recent comment, but they bring up objections about this woman's practices (suggesting she draws conclusions before she does the study and that she was only plugging a book) and that her findings are comprimised. Thoughts, Tory?
- August 23, 2010 at 2:27 PM
Please argue that behavioral psychology has nothing to do with any of those. You're making a pretty bold claim by saying that such an extensive field isn't science. Then everything a behavioral psychologist has ever said lacks credibility.
Also, the article talks about a book. The book itself is not an experiment, but it could cite several credible research studies. I suggest looking into those as well as other reviews to see what peer scientists have to say about it before you make a judgment of their own.
And yes, animals do have behavioral differences. However, consider the gender roles of chimpanzees and then picture early mankind in a time when physiological differences determined much more than they do now. Men, being naturally larger and stronger, took on the role of hunting and protecting while women, who gave birth and nursed babies, took on the role of mothering and maintaining the home. Is it hard to imagine that such roles are determined not by neurological differences, but by the environment we grow up in? Nothing says that the behavioral differences between genders in certain animals are not merely the result of physiological differences. But in today's society, we don't have the same influences as the caveman days. The pressure for the man to be dominant and the woman to be submissive is no longer out of necessity. Amelia says that there are in fact differences, but the point is that they do not account for gender roles in today's society. Just at least consider what I'm saying as a possibility. I'm no scientist but you (Anon) have made no case as to why you know more than anyone else either.

Anonymous- While I do not agree with you that psychological findings are not evidence in themselves, the article I cited also quotes Lise Eliot, a NEUROSCIENTIST (read: not a psychologist) who agrees with Fine's findings.
Also, I think you misread what the article was trying to say. Certainly there are some differences between the sexes that are innate, but they would be much more subtle without our gendered society and have NO EFFECT on intellect, including boys' emotional intelligence or girls' spatial intellect.
I also would be interested in what the "important hard wired differences" you cite are. Because if it is that women want to raise kids more than men or are naturally worse than men at math, those things have already been disproven.
BTW, I want to note that whatever studies you are looking at that "proved" that men and women are innately so different also had an agenda (probably a misogynist one).
Also, just because lions have a gendered society doesn't mean we should (I think that is what it means to be more highly evolved).

Please argue that behavioral psychology has nothing to do with any of those. You're making a pretty bold claim by saying that such an extensive field isn't science. Then everything a behavioral psychologist has ever said lacks credibility.
First off, I said it is not hard science.
And really, before I even go into that, first definition from your link:
"a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws: the mathematical sciences."
Psychology does not fit that. It does not deal with facts and truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws.
It deals with generalities, maybes, feelings, and thoughts. Not hard laws.
Any branch of natural or physical science.
Psychology is not hard science.
If you really wish to call it science at all, it falls under the criteria "soft science".
"The hard sciences are characterized as relying on experimental, empirical, quantifiable data, relying on the scientific method, and focusing on accuracy and objectivity."
Psych doesn't fit that.
Certainly there are some differences between the sexes that are innate, but they would be much more subtle without our gendered society and have NO EFFECT on intellect, including boys' emotional intelligence or girls' spatial intellect.
Except you can't prove it without raising a child fully outside of societal influences.
And funny thing, when you do something even remotely similar (say, tribal societies that have little to no interaction with modern civilization), guess what? Gender roles happen.
And yes, shockingly, women ARE hormonally driven to reproduce in a way that men aren't.
Does feminism now disagree with the very hard science of biology, too?
- August 23, 2010 at 4:19 PM
Just because gender roles do happen does not mean we're genetically predisposed to fall into one slot or another. They have a root in necessity that is obsolete in most cultures of today, and therefore current conceptions of gender are nothing more than vestigial remnants of ancient family structure traditions, passed down through culture. If it WERE genetically determined, people would have a difficult time stepping outside those boundaries. However, I'm sure you've noticed many examples of both genders who have transcended just about all conceptions of what a man/woman is like. Plus there's too much gray area between such people and "regular" men and women to really be able to say that we're hardwired to be one way or another. If it were genetic, it would be a very complex and variable set of genes that determined societal aims in an individual. But in that case there would be more than two distinct roles that we'd be programmed for. Now THAT would be interesting to explore if that were true. I'm no anthropologist but I doubt it.
By the way, psychology is based on measurable data and the scientific method. Psychologists take into account data such as reaction times or the statistical extrapolation of choices based on any number of factors. I'm not going to argue whether or not it's a "hard" science--I get the feeling like that's an artificially constructed label. But if you have serious doubts I suggest you read a couple of articles from a psychology journal. You're not likely to find one for free online so a college/university library would be the best bet. Or better yet, talk to a psychologist. The article Amelia cites is not directed at a scientific audience and therefore says little of scientific procedures.
BTW: thanks Victoria :)

Ah, I see. Sorry about that.

Anonymous doesn't have the faintest idea what psychology is. In my school's psychology department, researchers are slicing brains, measuring levels of hormones, proteins, etc., recording the responses of cells in vivo. . . they collect piles of "hard" data, including behavioural data that I certainly wouldn't call "soft science"--nor would many of the "hard science" biologists who collect behavioural data.
I'm not sure I'm ready to accept this particular researcher's findings on sex differences, but not based on her being a psychologist. Yes, there's quack psychology out there, just like there is quack medicine. That's not what psychology is.
- August 23, 2010 at 7:20 PM

Would you care to elaborate about why you're not sure if you're ready to accept these findings, rogo? I'm curious.
- August 23, 2010 at 7:54 PM

Anonymous- I think what Amenhotep IV was trying to say is that you keep citing animals and humans in tribes as examples of hard-wired gender roles. But gender roles in these cultures could easily be soft-wired considering that all of these cultures are dependent on physical strength, something that women tend to have less of than men.
However, as we are moving farther and farther from a society dependent on physical strength for success are seeing gender roles broken, suggesting that they were based on society, not biology.
Also, I agree that women can push babies out of their bodies and men cannot. I do not agree that women therefore want to stay home with their children more than men do.

Women's bodies release hormones assisting them in bonding with (and not killing) their young. Which causes them to want to be around them more often.
Men's bodies do not.

Anonymous- Yes, hormones assist with bonding with the infant for a short amount of time after childbirth and probably during breast feeding. However, after that it is all about emotional connection- which I will think you agree both fathers and mothers can have with their infants.
I want to note that assuming that women want to stay home with their children more than the father also hurts men. It is because of this stereotype that there is no government regulated paternity leave, meaning that fathers often don't get the chance women do to bond with their infants.

Also- hormones don't suddenly make women forget about their careers, and lack of pregnancy hormones don't prohibit men from wanting to stay home with their children.

Which in mothers is still facilitated by hormones.

Paternity leave as a concept is a joke. Unneeded, and if it ever came to a vote, I'd register just to vote against it.

Anonymous- first of all, emotional connection is only facilitated by hormones in cases where the mothers carry their babies and don't adopt or use a surrogate mother.
Even in cases where mothers do carry their own babies- so what? Are you saying that somehow fathers don't care about their children as much as mothers because they don't have as much estrogen? Bullshit.
- August 25, 2010 at 8:55 AM
Anonymous--if you're going to keep defending the hormone theory, I would love to see you cite something. My degree is in biology and from what I've read, hormones make only a small and initial difference that is overtaken by actual emotions. And when it isn't, you have cases of mothers who neglect or abuse their children. Unless such people are all hormone deficient (dangerously close to Hitler-ish reasoning right there), any role played by hormones in bonding is minor.
And by the way, even if it were significant, that still doesn't disprove the ORIGINAL topic of discussion: that women aren't hardwired to think differently than men. If anything, you could call the hormone theory "soft-wiring" because hormones do not determine what we think--they influence physical responses and how we may respond to what we think. The cognitive and motor functions of the brain are still free to operate at the person's desire. For example, you may feel a sudden rush while going on a roller coaster--this is a hormonal response that is designed to make you flee a scene of danger or fight any aggressors. And yet, though the hormones are working, the brain is still in ultimate control. That's why you don't see people always struggling to get free when they're on a roller coaster.
If you disagree with what I'm saying, please cite a source of information.

There was a response to your comment, Tiberius, something about hormones causing emotions, but Anonymous is being annoying and guess what? I'm a mean, mean feminist who's not letting their comments through mostly because only a portion of what they say is constructive.
So, Anon: REJECTED.
- August 25, 2010 at 1:18 PM
Thanks Amelia :)
That's a really vague answer anyway, and since there are so many different kinds of hormones that do different things, that comment says nothing unless it connects one or more SPECIFIC hormones with strictly female reactions.

Tiberius- I am so glad that someone with a bio backround posted something. All I know is what I've read, so it is nice to have someone with some expertise in the discussion.

I find this development very exciting, and completely reasonable all things considered. This is definitely consistent with college art classes; I found that there were just as many women as men in the class, and if anything, the women were more talented on average; and in my graduating year, it was a 1:1 ratio, and I don't think anyone's abilities could be boiled down to their gender or race or anything else like that.
As a trans-gendered individual, I find that this development is very reassuring. I'm not all that out, I don't have any clear plans for transitioning, and I regularly feel a strong sense of self doubt; that by compromising with life, and focusing on other things, that it somehow legitimizes me in the identity. This is generally founded on the belief that if you don't have a pathological drive on instantly changing over your identity, your appearance, your pronouns, and the letter on your driver's liscense: then you are not a real transperson, and probably just a cross dresser, or some kind of pervert.
As best as I know it, conventional psychology's understanding of trans-gendered people is pretty grounded in the idea that there is nothing in common between a male and female brain, and when given the wrong body, it goes fucking haywire. It is a convenient explanation, but one which excludes pretty much all but the really extreme people, and does a lot to keep us all marginalized and hidden, and constantly under debate in the psychological community as to if we're just crazy or really crazy.
I can tell you, that whatever it is, it isn't really learned. It has been something that has been with me all my life; and I've tried really hard to make it go away in recent history. My definition of "really hard" is about five years long, with the firm belief that being trans-gendered was some kind of freakish disorder.
So anyways; I find it comforting to know that the differences between a male and female brain are largely superficial, and therefor my problems and my pain are probably in fact real.
Though, I'm still at a loss as to why I am the way I am.

Aeva- Thank you so much for your response! I was actually thinking about how studies like this might be looked at by trans people, and now I have a perspective to think about. I look forward to your future comments.

The Downtown Revitalization Project, put on by University of Oklahoma graduate students, will wrap up on Dec. 10.
The Downtown Revitalization Project, put on by University of Oklahoma graduate students, will wrap up on Dec. 10.
The final product will be shared with the community at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 10 at First Baptist Church in Shawnee.
Currently, the students are still working on the final report, Blair Humphreys, executive director of the Institute for Quality Communities, said.
The Institute for Quality Communities worked with and taught graduate students during this project. The students actually created the project as a part of a class.
"We're just taking all the work we've done and combining it with the input we've received," Humphreys said.
During their semester, students hosted several events around Shawnee to try to gather information on what citizens would like to see downtown look like. Additionally students did research on what downtown was like previously.
"I think the broader thinking is that in downtown Shawnee, a lot of work has already been done," Humphreys said.
He declined to give any more details about the results of the project, other than to say the students enjoyed their time in town.
"It's kind of bittersweet to have to wrap up a process like this," Humphreys said.
He added that the students know the hardest part of the plan is yet to come.
"We know after we leave, there will be a lot of people who stick around and do the difficult work of making this happen," Humphreys said.

Determining Characteristics and Behaviors of Adolescent Women Regarding HIV Risk and Microbicide Trial Participation

|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
HIV is an infection that damages a person's immune system and can develop into AIDS. More than 10 million women between the ages of 15 and 24 currently live with HIV or AIDS, most of them in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. The rate of infections in women is high in part because they may not be able to use existing HIV prevention methods: remaining abstinent does not help if their partner is not also abstinent and using a male condom requires the compliance of the male. Oral and topical microbicides are products women initiate using to reduce their risk of HIV infection. Several clinical trials of these products have been conducted, but few have tested populations of young women, who may have different characteristics or behaviors from other women. This study will collect data on the characteristics and behaviors of women divided into two age groups, women age 15 to 17 and women age 18 to 21, in both Tanzania and India. This study will have four goals: (1) to determine whether and how characteristics that put women at risk for HIV differ in these age and country groups; (2) to evaluate the legal, social, cultural, and delivery factors that hinder women's participation in microbicide trials; (3) to examine the understanding and ability of women in these different groups to adhere to the requirements of clinical trial participation; and (4) to determine young women's acceptability and use of a practice gel or pill.
This study will consist of three phases. The first phase will address the first two goals by conducting repeated, in-depth interviews and discussions with a small group of sexually active adolescents in India and Tanzania, followed up by interviews with informants and relevant community members. These interviews and discussions will address differences in HIV risk characteristics between groups of women and the legal, social, cultural, and delivery factors hindering women's participation in microbicide trials. The second phase will consist of a series of workshops to define and describe a set of youth-friendly procedures for using microbicides. Community members and researchers will participate in these workshops, and some adolescents will be invited to pretest the study instruments.
The third phase will be a pilot clinical study that addresses the second two goals by asking participants to undergo evaluations over time, similar to the way they would have to in a microbicide trial. Participants will complete study visits at baseline and after 2, 4, and 6 months, during which time they will answer questions about their sexual relationships and use of risk reduction behaviors. They will also provide urine, blood, and endo-cervical swab samples for testing for pregnancy, HIV, and sexually transmitted infection. Between the 4- and 6-month visits, participants will also be asked to participate in a 2-month substudy in which they use proxy pills or gels. They will then complete interviews about their experiences using the pills or gels. Some participants who decline to participate will be invited to complete brief interviews about why they chose not to participate.

US declares war on Germany

US declares war on Germany
The war in Europe began in 1915, but the US carefully stayed neutral for two years. In early 1917, Germany began attacking US ships and President Wilson asked Congress to declare war. On April 6, 1917, a formal declaration of war against Germany was signed by Champ Clark, Speaker of the House of Representatives (the only Speaker that ever came from Missouri); Thos. R. Marshall, Vice President of the United States and President of the Senate; and signed and approved by Woodrow Wilson.

Om Puri's outburst...publicity stunt??
Okay. That's enough as a backgrounder.... now here comes the asli story. In an 'angry' interview to a tabloid this morning, Om has expressed his rage and shock at some of the revelations in his wife's book. Especially the ones that recount his sexual exploits with a series of maids, starting with Shanti and moving on to Laxmi. He has accused Nandita of 'reducing a sacred part' of his life 'to cheap and lurid gossip.' He claims he was not aware of the contents of the book and that his wife did not allow him to read the manuscript. He adds he doesn't want to be in the same league as a Shiney Ahuja. Nandita's response has been equally spirited , while admitting her husband is 'livid'. She says - and it sounds like a well thought through quotable quote - "My book on my husband is a biography, not bloody pornography!" Saccch????
If the miya-biwi jhagda in print and across tv channels is indeed real, and Om was completely in the dark about the contents of the book, there is just one acid test left - will Om show up for the launch and promote this 'cheap and lurid' effort?? Will he participate in all the related marketing activities?? And most importantly - will he stay married to a woman he claims has betrayed his trust and exploited him? His sign off line in an interview is pretty telling - " Please don't be discreet. Has she exercised any discretion in talking about my personal experiences? The final decision to put up my life as a tamasha was Nandita's. I can't forgive her."
Over to you, Nandita.... and good look with the book launch. I'm sure you have your sound bytes ready......

ahhh... not again... Publicity stunt. Well, I dont really believe Om puri when he said that he didnt know the contects of the book. And why would the wife write such things about her husband. I wouldn;t even dare to if i were married. Even if my husband is guilty, I wouldn't. Then why did Nandita do it. It is quit obvious that things are sour between the two and hence the outbirst. I love Om's acting. He is good. There is quality in his work. We all know that the glamorous world gets indulged in such gimmicks but who cares. We are mere readers and we jusr read and forget. And so they get the benefit of doubt.

Who cares about the stunts they do to sell their biography. I would'nt dream of reading OM Puri's biography even if it was the last book on the earth.

in all possibility ... must be a publicity stunt...
I have visited the Puri's at their versova terrace flat long back to invite them to a khalsa college festival... (the same year that you attended) i was greeted by their adopted mongrel dog "Jacky" (hope jackie shroff doesnt visit ur blog)
The family was very grounded with no showed no signs of their stardom. I was pretty impressed by them. They looked like the perfect couple.
Om Puri couldnt attend the function, so he asked Nandita to. And she was very calm composed and very non-celebrityish.
I am zapped to read about the hinted Bai Sexpisode. Everyone likes a peep on the life of another. We are such voyours... and we fall a prey to such gimmicks.
You "threw" the invite somewhere??? im sure you had some bitter experience. Youu wouldnt say so just like that...

my apologies :D
you said 'shrewd agent' not ruthless.. bad paraphrase, there.
and by trash of course, no hint at individuals, but most definitely meant to poke and point in the direction of the content of this new book, or the intentions thereof.
to add to it, even something as potentially scandalous as om puri and his string of maids isnt appetite whetting enough to get people buying the book. thinking about it... not so pretty hey! the agent should go back to the drawing board on that one. AND how does that make nandita look? like a woman scorned among other things...

Hi Shobha,
As always it's a sad situation and sadder comments. In the whole controversy we are taking away the merit from one of the real actors of our cinema… irrespective of all this bull he has done some fantastic work abroad & of course in India…
The post's title clearly says Om Puri… so why is everyone reading the post n moaning,,, were they thinking that u wl talk abt Obama???
Love Gulshan

Mr. Puri calls it sacred and Mrs. Puri wants to let the entire world know so as to take badla. Neat.
Life is so unhappy for those under constant arc lights. But I guess it's the couple's choice to make every single detail public or let it stay between them. Wish they'd keep the last iota of dignity intact and sort this out without getting the junta in between. And if they have irreconcilable differences, why not part ways rather than look at this opportunity to make even more money! Unbelievable!

Every one on this blog comes to read Shobhaa's post, and they do read what she writes. They don't go away after reading the title. If we wanted to read about Om Puri, we'll go to his website. or worse read his biography. So what if he did some great films. Every actor has some talent that's why they survive. We see their movies and appreciate their work if it is good, but we certainly don't need to know what 'Om Puri' did as an adolescent or to his maids. (sic)

The writing of biography by Nandita and the whole thing is unknown to Om, are pretty odd. It smells rat. But may be publicity stunt. But Om does not need publicity after contributing so much to the cineviewers. The biography will not make any difference to his legendary profile rather help earn more from a different corner.

People have the right to write what they want,thats what freedom of speech means.
And this may be very true that just to make the book interesting his wife has added these stories.
Om Puri is one of the best actors now.So it doesnt matter at all when u say that he came from a poor background.
I still remember when he got lifetime achievement and he told that the 1st role he got was because the director felt pity on his malnourished condition.
His coming till here shows his greatness.And we got a powerhouse performance to see.
Every one may not be morally right.All have dark shades.Nandini's stories may or may not be true but still she has the right to speak.

I agree that we come here to read Shobhaa's blog or else we could have gone to Om Puri's website.
but what you forgot is that De chose to wrote about Om Puri,it itself justifies the legend.
And we commenting here means this topic means something to us.
I am commenting this today cause I feel there is something when my 2cents matter atleast to me.There are a lot many posts,many I read but on some I comment and when we comment it means there is something of importance to us not because it is just Shobhaa De's blog.
I very much agree with you.

Looks like someone is really jealous about the publicity another journalist, who has pulled off a serious book (unlike Shobhaa De, who excels in making money out of high-society gossip) is getting.
Perhaps because she is a tabloid writer and finds her space cramped? And who is she to say Nandita was an 'ambitious, pushy' woman? Is it because she was from Kolkata, and this is not in keeping with Shobhaa De's right-wing beliefs about Mumbai for Maharashtrians? (Even Om Puri is not from Mumbai, so that must be pricking Shobhaa too.) Or is it because she can't stand pushiness and ambition from others -- having oodles of it herself?
And why are people so conservative in this country? Doesn't it show double standards that actors who perpetrate the casting couch in Bollywood are among the media's best buddies, while an actor's genuine life story is splashed around sleazily -- and then labelled sleazy in itself?!
These half-literate tabloid journalists should read some of the genuine biographies of great people, whether or not they were written by the subject's spouse, and they'll see what a biography means.

Shobha jee, what prompted you to throw away the invite, because you could not take the place of Nandita.
I know how crappy a writer you are and here blaming and saying names about others who are genuine.
I believe and I believe firmly that Om Puri is not lying. These new chokras and chokris do not know what poverty is and they could never understand since they were born with silver spoon and things have been on platter for them..so the world is an easy plave to live for them. F**k off.
This biography is not at all cheap gimmick. Its a true story of an entreprenuer...My salute to Om Puri and Nandita Puri as well.

Shobha, Everyone knows that most of your articles are not well thought and quite low standard, have you ever wondered then how they are surviving and surviving well in this competative market. i am sure you know the answer - intellectuals like you are curse to the society and i am sad that you will not suffer in your life time for your sins. hope you will get another "janma" to do the "prayaschit".
- November 12, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Those were some "big" words coming from someone who's a gossip monger herself.
Looks like Shobha has taken the Om-Nandita episode to heart and is mighty depressed on how someone can write something so cheap and sleazy other than herself.
I have a suggestion, buy all your books (yes - buy them), shut yourself in a room for a few days, read all of them and then write a post about how worthless your books are and whether it was a good idea to spend money on them.

Poor Om Puri! That he should have married such a woman! Not only is there no dubt that he is an actor of genius and one of the greatest actors in the world, he is also a very good man!
I knew Om Puri personally in the lare 1980's.
I met him backstage at the Prithvi Theater where he had just given a zesty and superb perfomance in a comedy.
He gave me his phone number without any fuss, and when I clled, he agreed to meet me at the Taj mahal Hotel for an interview.
On subsequent occasions he even visited my homeand we also met at Bollywood parties.
Even when "Ardha Satya" was all the rage, he was a simple, unostentatious man who was always himself, and he had a heart of gold.
Oh Om,you can have any woman in the world that you want!
Men like you belong to the world, and not just to one lucky (and ait turned out, unworthy) person.

Shobhaa De has nothing but admiration for Om Puri!
It is his wife's betrayal of her wonderful husband that she has condemned.
And I do too!
Om Puri, the whole world loves you.
Divorce your unworthy wife.
You belong to the world and you can have any woman in the world that you want.
Stay single and enjoy your freedom.
Please don't mmake the mistake of giving up your freedom ever again!

Peter, Paul and Mary: Carry It On: A Musical Legacy There once was a time, some years before the ascendance of rock and roll on Top 40 radio, when popular music veered sharply from the mainstream to sample American roots-music traditions. Inspired by the songs of Pete Seeger and The Weavers, this "folk" music, found its greatest expression during the early 1960's in the songs of an emerging Greenwich Village group known as Peter, Paul and Mary. In the Trio's new PBS show "Carry It On: A Musical Legacy" we share in the four decade long career of Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey and Mary Travers. D

Performances begin Friday
Children in the Lakewood Area Youth Theater are preparing for their next performance that will take them through time, called "The Egyptians and the Time Machine."
The play, written by LAYT Director Lu Baxter, is set in ancient Egypt and is about a scientist that invents a time machine to see 4,000 years into the future. However, when the time machine is activated, an error occurs and celebrities, including Johnny Cash and Cyndi Lauper, are brought back to Egypt. Other twists in the story are to be expected, Baxter said, as well as more details to enhance the performance.
"We've incorporated a lot of sound effects. It's a step up for us," said Baxter.
To help challenge the children, the script is more intricate and more costumes and props have been added.
"(Attendees) will see that their kids are doing some new and different things," Baxter added.
Christopher Stolnacke, 10, is playing the role of Elvis, and is one of the characters who is transported from his era. He said he likes the story "The Egyptians and the Time Machine" offers and believes the audience will find it to be a funny play.
"He's awesome," said Stolnacke about Elvis. "I like the lines I say."
The performance will take place at 7 p.m. Nov. 30 and at 2 and 7 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Clarksville Bible Church, located at 191 S. Main St. Tickets are $5 and children 12 years old and younger are free.

There aren't many moments like this in the life of a high school student-athlete.
WAYNESBORO — There aren't many moments like this in the life of a high school student-athlete.
Players from both Spring Grove and Waynesboro varsity baseball teams got to witness something very special on Saturday afternoon under beautiful skies at Indian Field. It clearly transcended the game, which when completed, proved to be an exciting one as the Indians scored five runs in the bottom of the sixth in a 7-4 non-league victory.
"I thought it was outstanding," said Waynesboro head coach Greg Chandler. "The meaning of the gaqme for Zach and that look in the eyes of the kids. It wasn't about baseball but about life in general."
Before players even took the field, a victory was won by all in attendance as Marine Sgt. Zachary Stinson threw out the first pitch with the Combined Veterans Color Guard behind him. That was followed by a personalized rendition of The Star Spangled Banner by Waynesboro Area Senior High School junior Claire Martin, who also sang God Bless America following the top of the fifth inning.
During the game, spectators had the opportunity to donate to a very worthy cause that is making possible a new home for Stinson and his family through Homes for Our Troops. HFOT will provide a specially designed home for Stinson and his family at no cost to the family. This is done by raising donations of money, building materials and professional labor.
Stinson watched the entire game with his wife Tesa and their daughter. After the game, players from both teams shook his hand and offered their thanks for his service to his country.
"After the game, I sat around for about an hour with my coaches," Chandler said. "We talked to (Stinson) for a little bit. He and his family stayed for the whole game. He didn't just stay for a couple innings or so.
"I don't have words to describe it. There were a lot of people behind the scenes that made it possible. Players from both teams signed balls and gave them to him. It was just a great day for everyone."
The game
He might not have known it at the time, but senior Cole Warrenfeltz made one of the biggest hits in the history of Indian Field.
His three-run double in the bottom of the sixth inning gave Waynesboro a 6-4 lead after the Tribe fell behind 4-2 in the top of the inning.
"That was one of the biggest hits at Indian Field ever," Chandler said. "It was in the moment — a perfect ending for us."
It seems like the Indians play best when their backs are against the wall, and Saturday was no exception.
Ben Weber led off the sixth with a single. Pinch-runner Sawyer Duffey moved to second on a walk to Alex Cline. Following an out, Clay Eberhardt executed a sacrifice bunt to advance Duffey and Cline. With two outs, Justin Freeman walked and Seth Hoffman walked to force in a run.
That brought up Warrenfeltz, who launched a 2-2 pitch deep into left center field. The ball bounced to the fence and brought home all three runners. Warrenfeltz puncuatred the inning by scoring on a passed ball, and relief pitcher John Barr — who was credited with the win — worked through a little jam in the top of the seventh to close the door on the Rockets.
Waynesboro (10-3) hosts Big Spring on Wednesday in a Mid-Penn Colonial Division game.

The last few weeks I have spent most evenings transcribing information from the IGI and the GRO indexes into my trusty notebook.
I have now completed all the IGI records and all the births up to 2005. Just this week I made a start on the GRO marriages.
I have prepared a spreadsheet to eventually capture all the details. However I am not yet convinced this is the way I want to go. So the IT options are still open.
I used to think that the GRO index was infallible and that any mistakes on Ancestry for example would be down to incorrect transcription. I now realise how naive I was.
I discovered duplicate entries and one person registered three times!
So my biggest lesson so far – check the information, then check it again and again if necessary. Always try to find the original document, record or index.
Because I have been concentrating so much on the One Name Study I haven't done much of anything else.
I still have to join the Guild of One Name Studies and register the Espley name. I decided to wait a while until I gathered more information – especially about the origins of the name and the variants I want to include in the study. At the moment I am thinking that the variant spellings will be – Esply, Esplee, Aspley and Asply.
I know that there is an Espley Group on Facebook and my wife (Jayne) has joined them. Perhaps that might also be a source of information.
