Is It OK to Wear a Tampon in the Bath or Shower?
Can I wear a tampon in the bath or shower during my period?
– Soraya*
Yes. It's fine to wear a tampon in the bath or shower.
Although it's perfectly OK to use a tampon while showering or bathing, many girls find they don't need one. Most of the time blood won't leak out. But if it does, its not a big deal since it's not like swimming where you're in the water with other people.
When you get out of the water, it's a good idea to change your tampon: Remove the one you've been wearing and put in a new tampon before getting dressed.

Indiana's Will Sheehey and Yogi Ferrell were among the 12 players named to Team USA's World University Games team. The release from Team USA follows.
After five days of training camp that began with 26 players on June 24 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., USA Basketball today named the official, 12-man roster for the 2013 USA Basketball Men's World University Games Team.
Training camp will continue in Colorado Springs through June 30, and the team departs for Russia on July 1.
Representing the USA at the 2013 World University Games men's basketball competition that will be played July 7-16 in Kazan, Russia, will be: Spencer Dinwiddie (Colorado/Woodland Hills, Calif.); Yogi Ferrell (Indiana/Indianapolis, Ind.); Treveon Graham (Virginia Commonwealth/Temple Hills, Md.); Luke Hancock (Louisville/ Roanoke, Va.); Tyler Haws (BYU/Alpine, Utah); Cory Jefferson (Baylor/ Killeen, Texas); Sean Kilpatrick (Cincinnati/Yonkers, N.Y.); Alex Kirk (New Mexico/Los Alamos, N.M.); Doug McDermott (Creighton/Ames, Iowa); Adreian Payne (Michigan State/Dayton, Ohio); Will Sheehey (Indiana/Stuart, Fla.); and Aaron White (Iowa/Strongsville, Ohio).
"Clearly versatility, we have guys that can play more than one position, that's one of the great strengths we have," said USA head coach Bob McKillop (Davidson College). "I think we shoot the ball particularly well from a number of positions, and we've got guys who want to be teammates. Those two things, to me, are the biggest advantages that we have, or the biggest strengths for our team."
Assisting McKillop on the USA sideline are John Beilein of the University of Michigan and Frank Martin of the University of South Carolina.
McDermott is the only USA Basketball veteran on the team, and he was a member of the 2011 USA Basketball Men's U19 World Championship Team that finished in fifth place with a 7-2 record in the 2011 FIBA U19 World Championship in Latvia.
Eleven players took home end of the year conference honors, including McDermott, who was the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year and an all-conference first-team selection. Additionally, Kirk listed on the Mountain West Conference All-Defensive team, Ferrell was named to the Big Ten Conference All-Freshman Team and Sheehey earned Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year.
Also taking home first-team recognition were Dinwiddie (Pac-12) and Haws (West Coast Conference). Named to all-conference second teams were: Graham (Atlantic-10 Conference), Kilpatrick (Big East), Kirk (Mountain West) and Payne (Big Ten). White earned All-Big Ten third team, and honorable mentions included Jefferson (Big 12) and Ferrell (Big Ten).
Additionally, Hancock earned 2013 Final Four Most Outstanding Player.
After departing on July 1, the USA will practice on July 3-6 in Kazan, Russia, including scrimmages on July 4 against Russian basketball club UNICS and on July 5 against the Russia World University Games Team before beginning World University Games play on July 7.
The USA has drawn preliminary round Group C for the 2013 World University Games men's basketball competition, along with Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Sweden and United Arab Emirates. Playing in Group A are Estonia, Germany, Oman, Russia, Ukraine and South Korea. Playing in Group B are Japan, Mexico, Mongolia, Philippines, Romania and Serbia. Group D includes Brazil, Chile, China, Finland, Lithuania and Norway.
The USA will take on UAE at 6:30 p.m. (times listed are local; Kazan, Russia, is +8 hours from EDT) on July 7; followed by Czech Republic at 1 p.m. on July 8; and Sweden at 9 p.m. on July 10; Australia at 6:30 p.m. on July 11; and Canada at 1 p.m. on July 12.
Following the preliminary round, the first and second-placed teams in each of the four pools advance to the medal quarterfinals on July 14 to compete for first through eighth places; while the remaining teams will play out for ninth to 24th places. The semifinals will be played on July 15, and the finals will be contested on July 16.
The players were selected by the 2013-16 USA Basketball Men's Junior National Team Committee. Chaired by Jim Boeheim (Syracuse University), the committee includes NCAA appointees McKillop, Matt Painter (Purdue University) and Lorenzo Romar (University of Washington), as well as athlete representative Curtis Sumpter, a member of the 2011 USA Pan American Games Team and the 2004 USA U20 National Team.
World University Games
The United States has claimed 19 medals in the World University Games since beginning play in 1965, and has captured a record 13 golds, three silvers and three bronze medals in the 20 WUGs in which a USA Basketball men's squad has competed. The USA men own a stellar 138-9 record in WUGs play, and the U.S. captured six of the first seven gold medals awarded in the WUGs basketball competition, including six consecutive gold medals from 1989 through 1999. In 2001 the USA fell to host China, which featured half of its 2000 Olympic team, including Yao Ming, Menk Bateer and Wang ZhiZhi, by a single point in the semifinal and finished with the bronze. The USA again captured the gold medal in 2005 and most recently, finished in fifth place with a 7-1 record after falling to Lithuania 76-74 in the 2011 quarterfinals.
Eighteen players who have represented the USA in the WUGs have gone on to compete in the Olympic Games, including Ray Allen (1995), Stacey Augmon (1989), Charles Barkley (1983), Larry Bird (1977), Bill Bradley (1965), Quinn Buckner (1973), Tom Burleson (1973), Ken Davis (1970), Tim Duncan (1995), Phil Hubbard (1977), Allen Iverson (1995), Mitch Kupchak (1973), Karl Malone (1983), Michael Redd (1999), Mitch Richmond (1987), Michael Silliman (1967), Steve Smith (1989) and Jo Jo White (1967).

Bird Watching
Because of its location on the north shore of Lake Erie, Port Colborne offers good opportunities for birdwatching during spring and fall migration periods.
Local wetlands are nesting areas for waterfowl and stopping points for Whistling Swans. Significant numbers of gulls, terns and cormorants nest on the shoreline near Nickel Beach. The nearby eastern breakwall has been designated as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because of its colonies of Common Terns, Ring-billed Gulls, Greater Black-backed Gulls, Herring Gulls, Double-crested Cormorants and Black-crowned Night-Herons. Local stands of Carolinian forest are popular with songbirds.
Observation Points
Port Colborne is a useful starting point for some of the birding areas along the Lake Erie shoreline. The city itself lies at the entrance to the Welland Canal and is served by Highway 58 from Welland to the north and by Highway 3 paralleling the shoreline.
From the Highway 58 intersection, Mud Lake is east almost 1km on Highway 3 to the light at Elm Street (Regional Road 80). Turn north here and drive 3.5 km to a small parking lot on the east side of the road. From this drive-off are two paths, one around the lake, and the other along the south side of the lake to connect with a boardwalk and trail running around the east side of the lake and into the cattail marsh.
Mud Lake is noteworthy for all the usual marsh species in summer and breeding records of several species of duck, including Ruddy. There is a controlled hunt here. On the other side of the road from the above parking lot is the local landfill site, which may yield interesting gulls.
The remaining sections of Wainfleet Bog, a massive peat bog now much reduced by drainage and development, can be reached from two points. Again taking the intersection of Highways 58 and 3 as a departure point, drive north on Highway 58 for 1.4 km to Barrick Road on the west. Turn and drive 1.3 km to the point the road dead-ends at a peat farm, currently called F.A.Y. Farm. Ask for permission at the office to go in and drive north across a small bridge about 1 km on a dirt-peat road, which leads to a small drive-off on the left side near some dense shrubs. A trail starts here and runs north, eventually into open untouched bog. Be sure to mark or otherwise note the point you enter the open bog, as it is easy to lose track of your position. Northern Harrier, Short-eared Owl, and Lincoln's Sparrow have all nested in this area.
To reach the second access point drive west on Highway 3 from the Highway 58 intersection 5.4 km to Wilson Road, which crosses the bog to the north. On the east side of Wilson there is a trail which runs through the poplar-willow woodland. After several hundred metres this comes out into mostly open bog, and eventually arrives at untouched areas of bog. This trail has to be watched for as it grows over. It runs east off Wilson near Garringer road that comes in from the west. Whip-poor-wills breed adjacent to Wilson.
Just 0.8 km west of Wilson Road is the intersection of Highway 3 and Regional Road 30. To visit Morgan's Point turn south on 30 and drive 3.1 km (the road turns and runs west) to Morgan's Point Road on the south. Turn left and drive to the end (1.6 km), where the point attracts shorebirds and other waterfowl.
Farther west along Highway 3, the flat farmland in the area west of the village of Wainfleet in Haldimand-Norfolk has sod farms that can attract numbers of plover and other shorebirds in the fall (mid-September is best). Specific locations vary; currently farms at Winger and Mount Carmel are the best. It is a matter of driving the roads in the area, most of which are laid out on a grid pattern, and watching for suitable fields.
East of Port Colborne (some 14 km east of the Highway 58 intersection) is the Point Abino Road. This runs south some 6 km to Point Abino, a privately owned point with wooded hills that have some Carolinian species in summer (Acadian Flycatcher is regular in woods at Abino Hills west of the point reached from Holloway Bay Road) and which concentrate migrants. Access to the point road is uncertain - permission may or may not be given at the gate - and parking is difficult.

HOUSTON (KPRC/CNN) - A man from Houston considers himself lucky after thieves apparently followed him home from the bank and attacked, only to be chased away by his neighbors' dog.
Jose Luis Hernandez says he had all his week's earnings on him after cashing his check Friday night at a Wells Fargo in Houston. He had $200 in his front shirt pocket and $700 in his wallet in his back pocket.
When Hernandez drove home, he says he didn't notice what he now believes was a black sedan following him from the bank. His neighbors' surveillance video shows the car pull up as Hernandez opened the gate to his driveway.
Hernandez went to check his mail, and as he was standing there, he says a man in a red hoodie approached. His neighbors' small dog, named Ace, also ran over, barking, and the man asked him to put the dog away.
Continuing to check the mail, Hernandez ignored the man until, armed with a rock, he was suddenly behind him, demanding his wallet. He says the man pushed him into a ditch when he refused to hand it over.
The entire time Ace was barking and nipping at the man's heels.
"I just started kicking and kicking," said Hernandez in Spanish.
Unable to get Hernandez's wallet, the man snatched the $200 out of his shirt pocket, ripping the shirt as he did so. The surveillance video shows the thief running away to the idling sedan, even as Ace chases him, still barking and attempting to bite him.
Hernandez says if it wasn't for Ace, he thinks the thief would have "ripped him apart" while he was lying in the ditch.
He says he knows the attack could have been much worse and considers himself lucky. He hopes by sharing his story someone will recognize the thief or the car and turn them into the police. He also wants to help prevent someone else from being followed home from the bank.

Parallella UART Connection
The UART can be used to provide access to a hardware console and is particularly useful when Parallella is being used "headless".
Header and signal levels
The UART 3-pin header (J2) provides Transmit (Tx), Receive (Rx) and Ground (Gnd). It is located in the corner near the Ethernet port.
0v and 3.3v logic level are used.
Connection to another host
Cabling depends on the interface/adapter, but the port is DTE and when connected to another host or something such as a USB to serial adapter, it will almost certainly have to be crossover/null-modem wired. I.e.:
- Ground to Ground
- Tx to Rx
- Rx to Tx
The default port parameters are:
- 115,200 bits per second
- eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit (8N1).

If Congress fails to reauthorize funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program and the Community Health Center Fund, about 18 million Americans could be cut off from their health care coverage.
"It's an example of how Obamacare has overwhelmed every other health care public policy issue, and the results could be catastrophic," David Dayen writes at The New Republic. "Obamacare could be working spectacularly, but without CHIP or community health center funding, the nation's health care system would sink into absolute crisis."

A group of religious leaders launches a health care blitz Wednesday that will be highlighted by television ads, sermons and a nationwide "call-in" to the White House that will stress the "moral imperative" to extend affordable coverage to the nation's uninsured.
The "40 Days for Health Reform" initiative by the interfaith groups will include prayer services in congressional districts, meetings of religious leaders with members of Congress and a "Nationwide Health Care Sermon Weekend" with preaching from the pulpit on the need for a health care overhaul. The leaders say they're the ones who see up close the problems with the insurance system and the need for change.
The event is being sponsored by denominations and groups such as the National Baptist Convention USA, Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, United Methodist Church General Board of Church & Society, Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, the Episcopal Church, Unitarian Universalist Association, African Methodist Episcopal Church, United Church of Christ and Islamic Society of North America.
Jim Wallis, an evangelical and president of the Christian social action group Sojourners, said Aug. 11 that the intent is not to "get into the weeds" on the specifics of what should be included in health legislation pending in Congress or take positions on highly controversial issues such as the public option, employer mandates or abortion coverage.
But he said religious leaders do want to counter those who have "demagogued" the issue at town hall meetings over the past few weeks — thus thrusting the faith community into an ongoing battle between Democrats and Republicans over health care, marked by town hall meetings involving shouting, fights and even arrests.
"There are people in the country who want to stop an honest, fair, civil and moral conversation about health care. They're organized and they really want to shut down democracy and we can't let that happen," said Wallis. "The faith community is literally going to stand in the way of those who want to stop a conversation."
He and others said inviting President Obama to take part in a conference call on health without an accompanying Republican viewpoint does not make it into a partisan event. Obama is not expected to discuss the details of his proposal but rather the moral perspective of extending coverage to the 47 million uninsured, they said.
"It wasn't the president who turned this into a partisan issue, it happened to be the way it played out," said David Saperstein, director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism. "I truly think he believed this would stand above partisan politics. ... the president set out a moral vision that resonates deeply with the consensus views of large segments of the religious community, even some who may disagree with particular legislation Congress is doing."
The idea is also to encourage conversation within congregations. Adam Hamilton, senior pastor of the 13,000-member Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kan., said his congregation is probably 60 percent Republican and he considers himself a centrist. "Part of the need.... is to allow folks from varying sides to have a chance to speak about this issue and to do so in a way that allows people to hear the issues and not just the rhetoric," he said.
Saperstein said the people falling through the cracks "are as likely to be a Republican as they are a Democrat."
Other groups organizing the health overhaul push are the PICO National Network, which engages in faith-based community organizing; Faith in the Public Life, a nonprofit group; Faithful America, an online organizing group; and Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good.
The group also is sponsoring a 30-second TV ad that criticizes unnamed "special interests in Washington" seeking to block health overhaul. "Killing reform will boost their profits," says Rev. Stevie Wakes of Olivet Institutional Baptist Church in Kansas City, Kan., in the ad. The ad will run on national cable networks and District of Columbia cable while fundraising continues to try to run it elsewhere.
Prayer services and advocacy will be targeted to specific congressional districts, said Gordon Whitman of PICO. "It's really an overlay of Blue Dogs and moderate Democrats and moderate Republicans and areas where religion is especially significant to public life," he said, to convey the message that there is a middle ground in the health overhaul debate.
John Hay Jr., an evangelical leader from Indianapolis, Ind., said the "40 Days for Health Reform" effort is "really an effort to refocus where the central moral issue is — it seems to have been derailed or taken off track by a lot of voices over the past couple of weeks."

Already the most-watched video on YouTube, PSY's Gangnam Style becomes the first video to hit one billion views Friday.
YouTube says it updates the view count of popular videos every few hours, so it may not become clear immediately when the milestone hits.
The video crossed the 1 billion-view mark sometime between 10:30 and 10:50 a.m. ET Friday.
The unlikely hit video became a smash hit over the summer as a heretofore unknown South Korean rapper PSY became one of the most recognizable faces in music. The song was everywhere, spawning memes and spoofs from NASA ("NASA Johnson Style) to civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis ("Voting Gangnam Style")
"Gangnam Style" overtook Justin Bieber's "Baby" at the end of November, and since then, PSY's song has gained another 200 million views, compared to Bieber's 10 million.
#GangnamStyle just became the most watched video @youtube!! #History youtu.be/9bZkp7q19f0 @youtube 에서— PSY (@psy_oppa) November 24, 2012
There's really only one way to celebrate.

Q: I had the most delicious squid pasta while vacationing in Michigan's UP. I have a basic recipe, and I hope to try it out soon. I have questions for you: Where on earth can I find squid or calamari in the far western suburbs of Chicago? I haven't a clue where she found it up there or if it was fresh or frozen. I would probably get overwhelmed cleaning and prepping, so I may need frozen? She also mentioned putting wine corks in the sauce to keep the calamari from getting rubbery. Have you ever heard of that? This was a spicy red sauce over thin spaghetti noodles -- ever good -- do you have a more specific recipe for it?
—Toni Chapman, Batavia
A: First of all, for those readers wondering who the "she" is in Toni Chapman's email, a quick telephone call disclosed that "she" is the girlfriend of the brother of Chapman's nephew. That nephew came up with the squid recipe that his brother's girlfriend made and was so enjoyed by Chapman while on vacation in the Upper Peninsula. Everyone got that? (This is what I love about well-regarded home recipes; there's often a family tree's worth of people behind 'em).
Ok, on to the squid. It's available fresh or frozen year-round and is sold in a variety of ways, Sam Fantauzzo, director of operations for Angelo Caputo's Fresh Markets, said the Addison-based grocery chain sells squid cleaned, uncleaned, whole, cut into rings or cut into tubes.
"Some customers, particularly the ethnic customer, prefer to clean the squid themselves and cut into pieces,'' he said. "Some people are squeamish. They want it cut up and cleaned so they can bread it and fry it."
Buy it whatever way you want, or can find, in a supermarket or fish store near you. To see if your store carries squid, and they just might, ask at the seafood counter or service desk. If not, get on the telephone and call other stores. Italian or Asian markets are always a good bet. At the most, you'll simply have to place an order for squid; most stores will be happy to get it for you – and clean it, if necessary.
I don't have much experience cooking squid but Joe Gray, the Good Eating food editor, does. In a 2006 column, he offered a recipe using cleaned squid washed well in cold water before using.
You asked, Toni, for a calamari pasta recipe. I give you Joe's, which calls for orecchiette pasta instead of thin spaghetti. But you can always switch back to spaghetti if you like or omit the olives. Recipes like this are basic, delicious and adaptable.
As for the cork-in-the-sauce method for keeping squid from going all rubbery, well, I haven't tried it. Nor am I sure I want to. Give me instead a kitchen timer to remind me to keep checking the pot, a pair of sharp eyes to watch the cooking, and a full set of teeth to test the squid for doneness.
Squid with pasta, tomatoes and olives
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 35 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
This recipe from Tribune's Joe Gray is loosely inspired by a Venetian-style calamari recipe in "1,000 Italian Recipes," by Michele Scicolone.

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 pounds squid, cleaned, bodies cut into 1/2-inch rings, tentacles left whole

1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup mixed black and green olives, pitted, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Aruba Networks announced three new Wi-Fi controllers that have built-in controls to boost application delivery.
The new Aruba 7200 Series controllers inspect data packets flowing through Wi-Fi networks and apply software tools that can determine which applications get priority or can share the network with other applications within network bandwidth contraints. The three controllers are the 7210, 7220 and 7240. Pricing starts at $16,995.
Aruba uses its AppRF software running on the 7200s, to perform Deep Pack Inspection. Then, with Aruba's Airtime Fairness and Quality of Service software, the controller can optimize over-the-air performance.
Sylvia Hooks, director of product marketing for Aruba, claimed Aruba is the only wireless LAN provider to integrate this deep packet application information with real-time improvements in application performance. IT shops would also use a controller interface and Aruba Airwave management software to analyze traffic streams for setting network policies and making long-term plans for network expansion.
Hooks said the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., are evaluating the controllers.
In an interview, Chris Hart, a network engineer at Northwestern, said the 7240 controller is expected to have the ability to replace four older M3 controllers in a single rack-unit design to control up to 2,000 access points on the Evanston campus.
"We'll definitely be using the 7200 because it's more powerful and has a higher CPU to do packet inspection and write rules for firewalls," he said. "Voice or IPTV can be prioritized this way."
Hart said Northwestern is like most colleges where wireless access is becoming ubiquitous, especially in dorms.
"You have to have Wi-Fi, since today's students are not even familiar with plugging in with wired Ethernet cables," Hart said. "They have been living in a wireless world their whole lives. Their smartphones offload to Wi-Fi. They use video over wireless."
Craig Mathias, a wireless consultant for Farpoint Group, said Aruba's 7200 series marks a shift from technologies that focus on hardware and hardware design to enhancements to application performance through software tools.
Aruba's Hooks said the 7200s will be more cost-effective and could help corporations eliminate desk phones and the costs related to those phones. Aruba's controllers support unified communications applications like Microsoft Lync, which can help replace desktop phones and expensive videoconferencing systems.
Aruba has 20,000 customers and is number two behind Cisco in Wi-Fi technology sales and customers, Hooks said. The 7200 series controller was able to complete a download from Box.com, a cloud-based storage system, in 12 seconds, about 11 times faster than the 129 seconds it took a comparable Cisco 5508 controller. The 7200 series controller also costs half as much, she said.
As a customer, Hart said he felt Aruba offers better support and guidance than other networking vendors since it focuses on Wi-Fi and is able to specialize.
The 7200s provide control to access points based on 802.11ac technology and can be used to support up to 32,000 end user devices with 40 Gbps encryption capabilities.

Google executive Eric Schmidt and former Secretary of State advisor Jared Cohen, who runs Google Ideas, decided to pay the WikiLeaks founder a visit in 2011, according to transcripts recently released by WikiLeaks. They met with Mr. Assange as part of their research for a book they wrote, entitled "The New Digital Age: Reshaping the Future of People, Nations, and Business," which is being published on April 23.
The book details how technology serves as a source of political power and how people and institutions may use it. It stems from an essay the two of them wrote in November 2010 that predicted technology would empower citizens to stand up to despotism, similar to the Arab spring and other movements, according to the New York Times.
The transcript details a five-hour conversation they had on July 23, 2011. They covered a wide range of topics, including Bitcoin, the Patriot Act, and the influence that WikiLeaks may have had on the Arab spring and the Kenyan election of 2007.
"I am certain we influenced it [the Arab spring]," he said."And that's...a great moment. Something I am certain about is that we changed the outcome of the Kenyan election in 2007. There has been many ministers whose scalps were taken and people being forced to resign and so on. Those are concrete and clear actions and one might argue that they are positive if you didn't like the guy, and you would argue that they were negative if you did like the guy, so I don't really want to mention those ones."
Roy Gutterman, who runs the Tully Center for Free Speech at Syracuse University, says the book would not be the same without the insight Assange gives. The Internet activist, he says, is a major player as someone challenging government officials on classified information and national security.
"He sees the Internet as a great equalizing force to give voices to the voiceless and to challenge governments and regimes," says Mr. Gutterman, an associate professor at the Newhouse School of Public Communications. "In some ways he's right, in some ways he's a little off. The power of being able to command a global audience to disseminate information in a variety of formats is really undeniable."
Assange debated the power of disseminating that information with Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Cohen and its morality. At one point, he asks that Google leak information.
"We wouldn't mind a leak from Google, which would be, I think probably all the Patriot Act requests," Assange says.
One of the biggest concerns, however, was the US government's requests for data on users. Officials have used the Patriot Act up to 999 times a year to ask Google to provide information, where they're listed as National Security letters, as Quartz notes. Because those letters are meant to be secret, Google does not list specific numbers.
Amid the debate among the three of them, Schmidt says he has criticisms about the Patriot Act because of its lack of transparency. However, he maintains that Google would not take the risk and break the law.
"The answer is that the laws are quite clear about Google and the US. We couldn't do it. It would be illegal," he responded.
Mr. Gutterman describes Assange as a hybrid activist and journalist, making comparisons to former CIA official Daniel Ellsberg and his leaking of the Pentagon Papers. Talking to Assange allows Schmidt and Cohen to see how the Internet may be shaped by different power players, from government officials to the people. The documents released by WikiLeaks also gives a glimpse into the political conflicts that continue to unfold on the Web.
"Nowadays most people can create their own website their own document dump," he said. "It shows how the media landscape has changed in the last four years."

Sutherland-Smith, Wendy. "Retribution, Deterrence and Reform: The Dilemmas of Plagiarism Management in Universities." Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management 31.1 (6 January 2010): 5-16. Print.
Sutherland-Smith argues for "sustainable reform" in how universities create and implement plagiarism policies (13). Sutherland-Smith contends that the dominant discourse in current university plagiarism statements and policies is grounded in the metaphors and language of criminal law. She points out that plagiarism is an issue that cannot only be addressed through detection and punishment; pedagogy (how students use sources) and ethics (the relationship among students, faculty, and scholars) also must play a role in how universities discuss and manage plagiarism.
Sutherland-Smith's argument is grounded in her analysis of 18 plagiarism statements from top-tier universities in Australia, the UK, and the US. Sutherland-Smith analyzed the language used in these statements to define plagiarism, to describe the policies and procedures surrounding cases of plagiarism, and to explain the outcomes of the plagiarism procedure (7). Sutherland-Smith also analyzed 164 media reports about plagiarism published in two major Australian newspapers from 2004 to 2008. The media reports were used in Sutherland-Smith's argument to describe what the public perception of plagiarism is, and how that perception relates to how universities describe and explain their plagiarism polices and procedures.
Sutherland-Smith points out that if universities hold students responsible for citation, universities must provide training/professional development for faculty across the disciplines for how to teach citation and other source use issues around plagiarism. This training, Sutherland-Smith argues, extends to all faculty, full-time and part-time, and is essential for creating and maintaining consistent policies and expectations , such as the use of plagiarism-detection software (9).
Quotable Quotes
"Universities need to re-examine long-held views that increasing punishment and detection processes results in deterrence of plagiarism and therefore a decrease in its appearance. The equation is faulty, as deterring students from engaging in acts of plagiarism does not necessarily mean they will take a path of academic integrity" (12).
"Focusing on developing plagiarism management strategies grounded in the web of ethical relationships that constitute the living organism of the university is a responsible place to start" (13).
"Clearly, the discourse of criminal law is the mainstay of many universities' framing of plagiarism management policies and processes" (8).
"The very discourse describing students as plagiarism 'offenders' positions them as 'wrongdoers' even before any allegations are proven, which could cause some students considerable anxiety" (8).
"Universities also place the burden of understanding plagiarism and attribution conventions on students" (9).
"The discourse describing plagiarism incidents is often charged with emotion, closely aligned to the language of criminal law and reflects nations of retribution and punishment" (10) – the language of media/news reports. use of moral/immoral terms, panic about a plagiarism epidemic, linking and slippage between the terms plagiarism and cheating, blaming Internet/online source use for a unproven rise in plagiarism (10, 11)
Scholarship has shown that plagiarism "is certainly neither rampant nor unstoppable" (11).
Notable Notes
words used in university policies and procedures that relate to criminal law: penalties, sanctions, offender, accused. "Highly formal register" = legal language (8)
in these policies, there is ample language for penalty and punishment; not for reform and rehabilitation

I created a Dynamic Playlist using Hierarchical Metadata.
I used Genre only.
This created a bunch of subfolders for my movies with different Genre names for each folder.
The problem is when I try and access these folders from my Dish Hopper, some are empty.
For instance, Science Fiction shows no movies in the folder from the Hopper but I see plenty of movies in that folder from the KooRaRoo console.
This isn't all folders though, for instance Action, that folder works fine and I see all the movies from the Dish Hopper which matches up with what the console shows.
Any suggestions?

'Who Needs Feminism?' New Tumblr Promotes Gender Equality
Move over, Feminist Ryan Gosling — there's a new Tumblr battling sexism.
On Wednesday, 16 undergraduate students at Duke University launched Who Needs Feminism?, a campaign that encourages feminist and gender egalitarian discussion over social media.
The Tumblr features posters and statements from individuals explaining why feminism is important. Statements range from the personal to the global, including "I need feminism because it's 2012 and only 3% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women," and "I need feminism because I want to be respected, regardless of what I'm wearing."
Who Needs Feminism? began as the final project for the students' seminar course, Women in the Public Sphere, the only guideline of which was to focus on social change.
"We discussed this extensively and concluded that there is a disturbingly apathetic sentiment toward feminism, both on campus and on a broader societal scale," says Amy Fryt, a senior at Duke's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences. "We aim to challenge existing stereotypes surrounding feminists and assert the importance of feminism today."
All 16 students on the Who Needs Feminism? team came from a variety of backgrounds, networks and social groups, which enabled them to connect with a large audience. Each student is female, but various male and transgender feminists have submitted to the Tumblr. One poster from a male Duke student reads, "I need feminism because too many people of my gender find sexual assault excusable on our campus."
The Who Needs Feminism? team originally planned for the project to focus on Duke's campus, but it quickly spread beyond that.
"Students from other schools started reaching out to us to start Who Needs Feminism? campaigns at their own schools," says Laura Kuhlman, a junior at Duke's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences. "We've gotten posts from Duke alumni saying that they are proud of the university for taking this stance and posts from people who say that this campaign inspires them."
Kuhlman says that they identified Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter as the main components of their social media strategy early on. "As college students, these are the platforms we use most frequently and we knew that we'd get an expansive reach. We initially thought Facebook would serve as our main source of promotion, but the Tumblr has really taken off," she says.
Since many users have uploaded and submitted their own photos, Kuhlman says that the Tumblr is a great way to encourage discussion without the moderation that the Facebook page requires.
The Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter accounts all interact to promote the general campaign. According to the Who Needs Feminism? team, the Facebook page received over 4,200 likes within 36 hours of the project's launch. As of last night, their Tumblr had been accessed by people in 2,509 different cities, has earned 30,000 pageviews and had been viewed by almost 13,000 people.
At the time of this posting, the Facebook page has well over 5,500 likes and counting.

Complete Story
WISC-TV To Air Newscasts In HD
By: Channel 3000.com
MADISON, Wis. -- WISC-TV announced on Monday that the station will begin broadcasting all its local newscasts in high definition starting on Sunday, Oct. 26.
While WISC-TV has been airing feature stories within its newscasts in HD since January 2008, this announcement marks the first time that WISC-TV, or any broadcast station in Madison, will air all of its regularly-scheduled newscasts in HD.
"We're very proud to be the first station in Wisconsin to offer HD news to our viewers," said WISC-TV news director Colin Benedict. "It's another way that we are continuing our tradition of being the news leader in the Madison market."
The HD debut of WISC-TV news will take place during the station's 10 p.m. broadcast. In preparation of the launch, that evening's regularly scheduled "News 3 at 5:30" will be preempted for an original special on HDTV and the February 2009 digital television conversion.
The switch to HD will include the following WISC-TV newscasts: "News 3 This Morning" (weekdays 5 a.m.-7 a.m.), "News 3 at Noon" (weekdays), "Live at Five" (weekdays), "News 3 at 6" (Monday-Saturday), "News 3 at 10: The Update" (daily), and Sunday's "News 3 at 5:30."
Coupled with the fact that most of CBS's regularly scheduled programming is in HD as well as most of its sports coverage, WISC-TV will now regularly feature as much as 10.5 hours a day of HD programming with sports potentially increasing that figure on the weekends.
"Most major sporting events and network programming is now in HD and many of the ever-increasing numbers of viewers with HD TVs only seek out programming that is offered in HD. WISC-TV will now be their only HD option for local news," said Benedict.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Trevor Bauer reached a milestone Monday night.
Cleveland's right-hander struck out 11 in six innings — giving him 206 for the season — and the Indians routed the Minnesota Twins 10-0.
Bauer (11-6) is one strikeout behind Boston's Chris Sale for the AL lead. After striking out 196 last season — then a career high — reaching the 200-mark was a goal going into 2018.
"That's something I wanted to accomplish," he said. "Next up is 300. Maybe not this year, but hopefully next year."
Bauer, who held Minnesota to three hits, was given a standing ovation when he recorded he reached the 200-mark against Bobby Wilson in the third. He has 10 double-figure strikeout games, tying him with Sale for the league lead.
The Indians hit four home runs, led by Edwin Encarnacion, who had four RBIs, including a three-run homer in the seventh. Yonder Alonso, Brandon Guyer and Jason Kipnis also homered for Cleveland, which leads Minnesota by 10 games in the AL Central.
Bauer struck out every batter in the starting lineup and ended his night with a flourish in the sixth. Jorge Polanco doubled with one out and was at third when Miguel Sano drew a two-out walk but Bauer struck out Max Kepler on his 112th pitch.
"That's probably my last hitter, given that I had ran my pitch count up," Bauer said. "I definitely wanted to finish my own inning. If I can't finish the game I like to finish my inning. I threw a good pitch. I was excited about both of those things."
Manager Terry Francona knew Bauer, who leads the AL with 159 2/3 innings pitched, had a lot left but went to the bullpen. Adam Cimber, Oliver Perez and Dan Otero each pitched an inning to close Cleveland's AL-leading 12th shutout.
"He could have kept pitching and he wanted to," Francona said. "That's enough. On a night like tonight that was plenty."
Bauer hasn't lost since June 29 and is 4-0 in his last seven starts.
Alonso's home run started Cleveland's four-run fourth while Guyer added a two-run shot, both coming off Kyle Gibson (5-9). Matt Belisle gave up Kipnis' leadoff homer in the sixth and Encarnacion's blast.
Gibson allowed six runs — four earned — in five innings. Belisle gave up four runs in two innings. Catcher Mitch Garver worked the eighth, allowing only Francisco Lindor's one-out single.
The Indians scored two unearned runs in the first because Polanco didn't catch a pickoff throw for an error. Jose Ramirez's sacrifice fly that was caught in foul territory by second baseman Logan Forsythe to put Cleveland ahead.
"We've had a lot of better days," Twins manager Paul Molitor said. "It was not pleasant to endure that beatdown. That first inning was disastrous."
Garver's first appearance on the mound in a major league game provided some levity for the Twins. He retired Guyer and Erik Gonzalez on groundouts and Rajai Davis on a fly ball to deep center.
"I wanted to strike out Lindor, so I turned the gas up," Garver said, laughing. "He lined one right back at me and I had to get out of the way pretty fast."
Kipnis took a hit away from Joe Mauer to begin the game. Kipnis went several steps to his left, dove on the outfield grass and made the throw to first. Mauer came into the game batting .302 (13 for 43) against Bauer, but was hitless with a strikeout in three at-bats.
Minnesota placed outfielder Robbie Grossman (strained right hamstring) on the 10-day disabled list and recalled outfielder Johnny Field from Triple-A Rochester. Grossman was injured running out a double Sunday. The Twins claimed Field last week after he was designated for assignment by the Indians.
OF Melky Cabrera, who is 3 for 31 lifetime against Gibson, wasn't in the lineup. Cabrera had a big day in the field Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels, making two diving catches and crashing into the wall to grab Shohei Ohtani's drive.
Cabrera's day off gave Guyer a rare start against a right-hander and he responded with a home run off Gibson.
Twins: RHP Michael Pineda pitched two scoreless innings in his first outing for the Gulf Coast Twins on Monday. He had Tommy John surgery in July of last year.
Indians: C Yan Gomes (right hamstring tendinitis) might return Tuesday. He's missed the last four games.
Twins LHP Adalberto Mejia (1-0, 2.60 ERA) takes on Indians RHP Carlos Carrasco (13-5, 3.66 ERA) in the second game of the series. Carrasco is 5-0 with a 1.99 ERA over his last six outings, pitching 7 1/3 scoreless innings against Minnesota on Aug. 1.

time flies and you just know
Things you could pray for this next day or two:
- Safe travels
- My mom and dad. We were pretty sad saying good-bye this morning.
- That my luggage all makes it on the same flights as me
- That I can cram everything into my backpack. We're good on the weight limit, but my meds are taking up lots of space.
- That I remember everything and have time to get what I need in DC.
- That someone can take me to Dulles tomorrow night.
Y'all are a blessing!

Kangna Ranaut to play a female outlaw
The actress gets into gangster mode for an upcoming revenge drama
Kangna Ranaut is all set to get into gangster mode. The actress has been pencilled in for debutant Sai Kabir's upcoming flick that revolves around a female outlaw. The project is being produced by Tigmanshu Dhulia and Rahul Mittra who earlier made Sahib Biwi aur Gangster together.
Says a source, "Kangna was recently signed for the film. She will be seen as a gun-toting character in the revenge drama. The film, set in the hinterlands, will have her essay the title role. Considering that she has done the dark 'n' dreary to comedy to chic roles, she feels this will showcase her in new light."
Like Dhulia's Irrfan-starrer Paan Singh Tomar, this gangster flick will also be shot in Madhya Pradesh. Interestingly this is the same project for which there was earlier buzz that Tabu was to essay the pivotal role. But it seems that they opted for Kangs instead.
The film's writer-director Sai Kabir had penned the dialogues in the Sanjay Dutt-starrer Lamhaa and the screenplay for the Shahid Kapoor-Vidya Balan film Kismet Konnection. He was slated to make his debut as director with Chemistry, a film produced by Shreyas Talpade featuring the actor along with Tanishaa and Soha Ali Khan. The film though shot in Paris has yet to see light of day.

Songkick is one of those killer iPhone apps that any music fan immediately falls in love with. It's utility is simple and straightforward: it scans the iTunes library on your phone and tells you which of the artists in your library have shows upcoming near you. It even notifies you when a new show gets added to your geographic area.
Rdio is another killer music app. It's a beautifully designed all-you-can-eat music service that puts just about everything worth listening to into your hands. It's sort of like Spotify, except more elegantly executed. After subscribing to Rdio, the whole ritual of purchasing, syncing and moving files around on iTunes feels utterly silly. Rdio and its ilk are clearly the future. Rdio and Songkick. I'm in digital music heaven.
Except there's one big problem: they can't talk to each other. Now that my iTunes library has gone stale and my Rdio collection has come alive, Songkick has gone silent. It can't tap Rdio on the shoulder and find out the latest music I'm into. Because Songkick and Rdio are iOS apps, they're aggressively sandboxed.
There are probably a host of reasons to sandbox apps. I suppose you don't want any single app of "polluting" the overall experience of using the device. I'm sure there are security reasons as well. Undoubtedly, iOS is the least messy of the mobile platforms because apps are so effectively policed. The crime rate on iOS is near zero as a result.
You know what else has a very low crime rate? Police states. States where creative and innovative ideas that question the political-operating system have difficulty flourishing or even seeing the light of day. Even if the leadership is draped in benevolent intent, the voices that want to innovate across and beyond the sandboxes are silenced.
The example I've shared here isn't even revolutionary. It's a basic bridge between sandboxes. For all we know, Rdio and Songkick may talk to one another and partner up one day. What should concern us more are the revolutionaries that want to play outside the rules. Yes, innovation can happen inside the sandbox. But real innovation transcends the rules. The tinkerers – the ones that hold the ideas that have exponential potential – can't…tinker. They can't dismantle, reconfigure, mix and match. They can't play around.
There are 118 known chemical elements. 118 baseline ingredients that are manipulated, matched up and configured to solve everything from curing diseases to challenges around energy. Apps may be the hot space for innovation right now, but we should be wary. We've stepped away from the fertile soil of the web and towards beautifully paved and rigidly constrained environments. Cleanliness and safety are virtues, but we need that strange brew to play and invent as well.
This isn't a plea for stereotypical rebellion. This is also good business. There will be no billion dollar app. There will be no Facebook or Google on ITunes or Android Market alone. Limit mobility and you limit potential.
At first, I struggled with how to end this post. Eventually, that famous "Think Different" Apple ad began ringing in my head. Try to ignore the irony and just embrace it's brilliance at face value:
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. – Apple Inc.

bacon, chicken, don't be afraid of your kitchen, meat, paleo, recipe, simple foods, spaghetti squash, vegetables
We've said it over and over again.
We find a lot of solace in our kitchen. That little space (and since our move that not so little space) where time slows down and we focus on the very thing in front of us and not the ever shrinking yet ever growing world around us.
The chopping and dicing. The adding of spices and measuring of liquids. The excitement over new recipes and the possibilities of left overs (with that good old friend of ours the fried egg).
Oh we'll be the first to admit some days it just seems like a pain in the ass to get in there and make a meal or two after a long day knowing it's going to be repeated in a few hours and all we can think about it zoning out with something on Netflix and some called in / picked up boxes of hot food ready to eat with the push of the front door buzzer.
Nothing, however, is more satisfying than sitting down (with a disaster of a kitchen that still has to be cleaned up) to something that we created. With our hands. With our hearts. With patience knowing that for a least a little bit, time has slowed down and that big bad world isn't so big and isn't so bad…
Make this meal.
Again and again.
It's amazing!
Paleo Chicken Carbonara
- 1 large spaghetti squash;
- 2 chicken breasts cut into small cubes
- 10 – 15 stalks of asparagus, cut into 1″ pieces
- 1 large pepper (you pick the color), seeded and chopped.
- 5 – 7 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (save the rendered fat!)
- 1 medium onion, minced
- 2 – 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400F
To prepare the spaghetti squash, you'll have different options (the microwave, bake it whole, cut in half….). We always cut in half, clean out the seeds, place on nonstick cookie sheet (squash side down) at 400F for about 20-25 minutes. A good indicator that it's done is a fork will pierce the skin (we take it out when fork has a little resistance because we like it more el dente. While this is cooking in the oven get over to those veggies and start chopping and get that bacon started!!!
Remember for proper handling of foods, chop your vegetables first THEN your meat. Don't use the same chopping mat either…have a designated mat just for cutting raw meats and never ever (ever) use it for your veggies. Ours is red. You know for 'warning! warning! You're about to cut raw meat!"
Hopefully you have great time management skills in the kitchen and about the time you're done chopping the veggies/meat the bacon will just about be ready. Set bacon aside but leave the rendered fat in the saute pan. If your time management skills need some improvement, do the bacon first so it doesn't burn and set aside. Chop those veggies and meat and then get ready for the magic. The spaghetti squash may be ready at this point so check it and if it's done, remove from oven and place in refrigerator to help cool down a bit for easy handling.
(fuck yes! BACON!!!)
With the rendered fat still in the saute pan, add garlic and cook on medium heat for about a minute (but no more or it will start to burn). Add onions and saute for additional minute or two then add asparagus and peppers. Cook for another minute or so then add chicken. Continue to saute on medium heat until chicken is cooked thoroughly then turn down to low heat so it will continue to simmer while you get that delicious spaghetti squash ready.
(Fuck yes!!! VEGETABLES!!!)
If your spaghetti squash is in the refrigerator; get it out! With a fork work your way from the inside around the sides to remove the spaghetti like strands from the skin and add to the saute pan.
If it's still in the oven; HANDLE WITH CAUTION!!! It's gonna be hot and you're gonna need to remove the spaghetti like strands from the skin. Fear not our little kitchen friends, with practice you'll become an expert in the handling of spaghetti squash. Once separated from skin add to saute pan and mix chicken/veggies and squash thoroughly.
Chop up that amazing bacon!
Now put it all together! Plate your carbonara and top with bacon!
~Now that's good eatin' Folks!

VICTORIA — As cabinet minister for the core review of government programs, Bill Bennett knew very well he was inviting controversy when he announced that the targets would include that most sacred of cows, the Agricultural Land Reserve.
"We're going to look at some sacrosanct things," Bennett told The Vancouver Sun back in July, referencing the B.C. Liberal plan to review what should and should not remain unchanged as a part of the core of government.
"We're going to look at the Agricultural Land Reserve and the Agricultural Land Commission," he said, by way of example. "There is certainly some potential here for some controversy. Nothing is off the table."
Defenders of the province's long-standing regime for protecting agricultural land were soon calling for public input into the review. And Bennett seemed to provide the opportunity Sept. 24, when he released details of the "bold approach" that the government would be taking:
"The public will have an opportunity to provide input to core review as part of the (legislature) committee on finance and government services' budget consultations," he announced. "Effective public and stakeholder communications will be an important element of our approach."
Somewhat ironic, given that the aforementioned committee was already on the road with a pre-booked schedule of witnesses by the time Bennett got around to identifying its role in public consultations on the core review.
Still, two days later, representatives of the B.C. Food Systems Network showed up for the committee hearings in Victoria, saying they were there to present their concerns about the fate of agricultural land in light of it being included in the core review.
The pitch met with obvious bewilderment from the members of the committee, New Democrats and B.C. Liberals alike. Neither the terms of reference for the committee nor its two successful calls for public submissions had mentioned that it would be involved in the core review.
"First I've heard of it," said the committee vice-chairwoman, NDP MLA Mable Elmore. The chairman, Liberal MLA Dan Ashton, appeared flummoxed as well.
Where had the food services network gotten the notion that his committee was taking input on the core review? Advised that the source was minister Bennett, he replied:
" I will check and see. I'm quite sure there are going to be lots of opportunity for input, but we'll get back to you on that one, okay?"
Embarrassing. In addition to chairing the committee, Ashton is parliamentary secretary to Bennett, hence the other go-to guy for the core review. If he wasn't in the loop, who was?
Nor did Ashton appear to have clarified much of anything by Tuesday of this week, when the committee descended on Trail, and another presenter opened with a lamentation about the likely impact of the core review on the ALR.
"I realize that your primary task is consultations on the budget," said Abra Brynne, program manager with Food Secure Canada. "However, recently your mandate was expanded to include the core programs review, which I shall be addressing today."
Hold on there, said chairman Ashton. "I just want to correct you on that. We are prepared to take input on that, but there is still some discussion that's taking place on how that will be presented as the core service starts rolling ahead."
Next day, the committee was in Nanaimo and the topic came up for a third time. Adam Olsen, interim leader of the B.C. Green party, had driven up island from his home on the Saanich peninsula, to ask the committee to sort out "some confusion that has ensued after a government press release sent out last week that identified this committee as the body responsible for accepting input for the government's core review process."
Ashton, finally, was able to clarify, having spoken to Bennett earlier that day. The core review was in the early stages, it would continue to the end of 2014, and there would be other opportunities for the public and stakeholders to have their say.
Meanwhile, the committee was also prepared to listen and incorporate any feedback into its report as well. So Olsen was free to "put the input."
Which the Green leader proceeded to do, making the point that people concerned about the future of agricultural land were entitled to a proper consultation, not a rushed exercise in ad hockery: "The discussion about agriculture is far too important and complex, and this accelerated process is clearly insufficient."
The New Democrats, through their critic for the core review, accused the Liberals of giving people the runaround. "The work of the finance committee is more than half done, so lots of people have missed the opportunity," MLA Shane Simpson told me during an interview Thursday on Voice of B.C. on Shaw TV. "There's nothing inherently wrong with a core review — but you have to do it right."
Ashton, in a brief telephone interview Friday, took the blame for the botch-up with the committee. He was on the road when Bennett's news release first went out and regrets rebuffing any of the presenters. He also repeated assurances that there will be "ample opportunities" for folks to have their say in the core review.
But if the government is going to live up to Bennett's promise of effective two-way communications with the public, those opportunities have to consist of much more than a grudging invitation to "put the input."
