Blackhawks soar on atop my Power Rankings
Through the first quarter of this lockout-shortened season, the Chicago Blackhawks remain unbeaten in regulation while the Boston Bruins are close to their Original Six brethren in overall excellence. In fact, it's a good time to be among the Original Six. Five of the top 12 teams in this week's Power Rankings are Originals, and the one that isn't (Montreal Canadiens) still has a winning record. So let's hear it for tradition.
Last Week: 1
Chicago Blackhawks (10-0-2)Patrick Kane for the Hart? I'll second that nomination by my esteemed SI.com colleague Allan "The Ghost and Mr." Muir in his first quarter NHL awards . Kane bagged nine goals and 19 points in his first 12 games, with a 27.3 shooting percentage. He's done it all without his customary mouth guard, too. While in Switzerland during the lockout, his team didn't have one for him, so he played without it and has since pondered the question of whether his habit of chewing on it distracted him from his game. "It's kind of all in your mind," Kane told the Chicago Tribune. "For the time being we'll keep it out. It could come back, who knows?" It's all good for the Monsters of Madison right now. They're not just winning games, they're destroying opponents. (Stu Hackel talked to GM Stan Bowman about their success.). The amazing thing is, of Chicago's first 12 games, only two were at home. They've already played 10 of their 24 road games! Last week: 3-0-0
Last Week: 3
Boston Bruins (8-1-1)Neither rain nor sleet nor snow -- about 26 inches of the white stuff in the Boston area last weekend -- can slow the Bs these days. While all flights in and out of Beantown were canceled in the aftermath of the huge storm, the team was able to fire up its charter plane and keep a scheduled date in Buffalo with the Sabres on Sunday night. (The Bs are in such a good mood that they even allowed local beat reporters to hop the charter with them.) A dominant 3-1 victory later (shots were 39-for, 26-against), Boston sat atop the Northeast Division and no longer has Tim Thomas as a distraction. The page has officially been turned now that he's been dealt to the Islanders. But let's all take a moment to honor his accomplishments: four All-Star appearances, two Vezina trophies, one Stanley Cup and one Conn Smythe Trophy. "He was a great goaltender and I definitely appreciated what he did for this hockey club," Milan Lucic told reporters. "You look at the solid five years that he put together, it was probably better than any other goalie in the league." Last week: 2-0-0
Last Week: 9
New Jersey Devils (8-1-3)David Clarkson (15 points in his first 12 games) has been doing a great job of helping people in Jersey to not think about the Devils' former captain-- at least, so far. "When we had Zach Parise last year and a little more depth offensively, we penciled (Clarkson) in as a third-line guy that we felt could create some mismatches for us against fifth and sixth defensemen," coach Peter DeBoer told the Newark Star-Ledger. "A guy that could score, play physical and give us some depth on offense. Obviously with Parise leaving, that opened up a hole in our top six for a winger that could score and he's moved to the first power play unit. His offensive role has increased, but he's earned it." Last week: 4-0-0
Last Week: 6
Vancouver Canucks (7-2-2)Hard to believe that entering Monday night's games Henrik Sedin still hadn't scored a goal. Of course, he had eight assists and was plus-7, so there are no real worries with his game. Nor are there concerns about brother Daniel, who had three goals and 10 points. But the only thing anybody really wants to talk about in Vancouver is still who's gonna be the starting goalie in the playoffs: Cory Schneider or Roberto Luongo? Or will Luongo still be traded? Last week: 2-0-0
Last Week: 5
Pittsburgh Penguins (8-5-0)Sidney Crosby is heating up. He entered Tuesday with points in six of his previous eight games (12 in all). The explosiveness in his stride is back, as is his shot. Once he really gets it going, he'll make a run at the scoring title. Back-to-back 3-1 losses to the Devils over the weekend, though, took some of the happy out of Penguins fans. Expect GM Ray Shero to try to make a deal for another forward, someone who can complement Evgeni Malkin a little better than Zach Boychuk, who was pointless after his first six games despite playing left wing on Malkin's line. Last week: 2-2-0
Last Week: 11
Anaheim Ducks (8-2-1)They're off to a great start despite Corey Perry's struggles (one goal, five assists). That should bode well, but the "Viktor Fasth for Vezina" talk cooled a bit after he allowed five goals in St. Louis over the weekend. The Swedish rookie still sports spiffy numbers (1.72 goals-against average, .932 saves percentage), yet No. 1 goalie Jonas Hiller does not feel threatened by that Fasth start. "Last year, I played a lot of games (73)," Hiller told the Orange County Register. "At some point, you kind of feel exhausted. If you have two guys who are playing well, yeah, it's good. If you don't play well for a while or something, you know there's somebody else who can carry a team or help them win points. At the same time, it's also a challenge that [I] feel like now I have to play better." Last week: 2-1-0
Last Week: 7
New York Rangers (6-5-0)Panic time is over for Blueshirts fans. The Rangers looked great in their 5-1 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday. Rick Nash is playing strong hockey at plus-8 and with nine points in his first 11 contests. Tuesday's road contest in Boston will show whether this team really is back among the elite, but I see the Rangers getting better and better as the short season moves along. Their power play (10 percent; 29th overall entering Tuesday) obviously has a lot of room for improvement. Last week: 2-1-0
Last Week: 2
San Jose Sharks (7-3-2)Sharksmania has dimmed considerably. San Jose entered Monday's game in Columbus as the loser of four straight (0-2-2) and was soundly thumped, 6-2, by the hardly ferocious Blue Jackets. The Sharks were also beaten by Chicago, 5-3, at home in something of a measuring-stick game. After his white-hot start (nine goals in his first five games), Patrick Marleau entered Monday's action on a five-game pointless streak, as did Jumbo Joe Thornton. As those two go, so go the Sharks. Last week: 0-2-1
Last Week: 18
Detroit Red Wings (7-4-1)Hold your hearses. The Wings ain't dead yet. Pavel Datsyuk scored an amazing goal (video) in a 3-2 win over the Kings on Sunday. Other than Evgeni Malkin, I say Datsyuk has still got the best stickhandling skills in the league. Swiss rookie Damien Brunner (undrafted) has points in eight of his last nine games, too. How do the Wings always find European gems? Simple: astute scouting. If GM Ken Holland can address a need by prying a solid defenseman from another team, anything is possible with these Wings. Last week: 3-1-0
Last Week: 4
St. Louis Blues (6-5-1)Jaroslav Halak tried to come back from a groin injury on Monday night against the Kings and promptly reinjured himself during warm-up, so it looks like it'll be Brian Elliott or bust, and the early returns aren't encouraging. Elliott played extremely well last season, but you always had the nagging feeling that it might have been a fluke, something that had more to do with coach Ken Hitchcock's defensive system than the goaltender himself. Hitchcock is still running the same system, and Elliott has been shaky at best. The Blues aren't scoring enough goals, either. It'll be interesting to see how Hitch reacts to some regular-season adversity for the first time in his tenure. Last week: 0-3-1
Last Week: 25
Toronto Maple Leafs (8-5-0)Randy "Kitty" Carlyle for the Jack Adams Award? I'll disagree with the aforementioned Mr. Muir and go with Bruce "Gabby" Boudreau. But, word up, Carlyle can coach. No, he's not the most cheerful man in hockey, but his players respect his authority enough to play hard for him. There is worry, though, about James Reimer's left leg injury, which he suffered on Monday against the Flyers. Ben Scrivens has played well so far, but relying on him in net the rest of the way would be worrisome. Last week: 4-0-0
Last Week: 10
Edmonton Oilers (5-4-3)I'm still keeping the faith. I don't care what anyone says, this team is downright dangerous and will get a lot better. Of course, it would be better in E-Town if high-priced defenseman Ryan Whitney woke up and started playing well. He was a healthy scratch last week by coach Ralph Krueger, who had a frank exchange of views with Whitney. But that group of forwards -- holy cow. Once they really start to click, it's going to be something in Edmonton again. And this is already a winning team so far, by the way. Last week: 1-1-1
Last Week: 17
Carolina Hurricanes (6-4-1)I feel a lot better now after putting them in my top 10 before the season only to see them get off to a terrible start. I really like this team. There's a lot of offense here, the Staal brothers are a big part of that, and Cam Ward seems back on track in goal. The Canes got a nice character win in Long Island on Monday night, trailing 3-2 before wining, 6-4. These guys will make the playoffs. Last week: 2-0-1
Last Week: 12
Ottawa Senators (6-4-2)I'm in agreement with my colleague Mr. Muir on his early favorite for the Vezina: Craig Anderson, who is big, quick and reads the play extremely well. He may anticipate where the puck is going better than any goalie in the league. Blueliner Erik Karlsson has been tremendous, too. It will still be tough without Jason Spezza (back surgery), but if Anderson keeps playing this well, pencil Ottawa in for another playoff berth. Last week: 1-1-1
Last Week: 13
Los Angeles Kings (4-5-2)A loss on Monday night in St. Louis and it really would have been time for Kings fans to scream, grab their hair and yank it out in tufts. But the defending Cup champs went into a tough building against a desperate foe and handily beat the Blues, 4-1. I fully expect to be ranking the Kings higher come next Tuesday. But for now, they are what their record says they are, to paraphrase Bill Parcells, and their goal differential is a rank 26-32. Jeff Carter's two scores in the win at St. Louis were a welcome sight for coach Darryl Sutter, who will find a way to get the Kings back into the playoffs, it says here, no matter what. He's one of the smartest men in the league. He turned down Princeton, after all. Last week: 2-2-0
Last Week: 20
Nashville Predators (5-3-4)After some fine road wins, they came home and were dominated by the sizzling Blackhawks in a 3-0 loss. Guess the Preds have some company in that Chicago is beating everyone, but the setback showed that Nashville still isn't quite what it once was. Add in OT/shootout losses and this team's real record is 5-7. The Preds can't score goals, much to netminder Pekka Rinne's dismay, but they still don't give up many, either. There's some hope in that. Last week: 2-1-1
Last Week: 15
Minnesota Wild (6-5-1)They've looked extremely unimpressive for all that moneyed talent on hand. Luckily, God made shootouts. But Minny's 2-1 SO win at Calgary on Monday night was boring. The Wild were supposed to be much more dynamic, and they can still get a lot better, of course, but I'm not at all wowed by what I've seen so far. If they have to squeak by 2-1 -- like their last two victories -- every night in OT or the postgame skills competition, there won't be any Stanley Cup talk in St. Paul for quite a while. Last week: 2-1-0
Last Week: 14
Montreal Canadiens (6-4-1)It wasn't a great week for the Habs, who still have trouble scoring goals. This team needs another productive center. Could Ryan O'Reilly be pried out of Colorado? Anything's possible, but they'd have to give up a very good player and/or high draft pick in return, and a rebuilding team like this one probably shouldn't do that. In other news, Max Pacioretty said he got a tetanus shot after being bitten by Toronto's Mikhail Grabovsky on Saturday. Max has been snakebit offensively, too, with zero goals. Ba-dum-bum. I'll be here all week. Last week: 0-2-1
Last Week: 21
Dallas Stars (6-5-1)It's hard to get a read on how this team is going to perform from night to night, but the Stars are pretty fun to watch. Jaromir Jagr, proving to be a great pickup by GM Joe Nieuwendyk, is right there with Teemu Selanne for the Ponce de Leon Trophy. Young Jamie Benn isn't bad, either. His six points in three games earned him the NHL's Second Star of the Week honor. If the Stars keep getting good goaltending from Kari Lehtonen (.928 saves percentage) a playoff spot is certainly possible. Last week: 2-0-0
Last Week: 8
Tampa Bay Lightning (6-5-0)A terrible week for coach Guy Boucher, who was caught making mocking faces at officials during a 4-2 loss to the Devils last Thursday. This is another team that you never quite know what you're going to get on any given night. Tampa's top players (Steven Stamkos, Martin St. Louis, Vinny Lecavalier, Cory Conacher) are doing their jobs, but quality depth just doesn't seem to be there. Last week probably would have been summed up by math geeks as a regression to the mean. Last week: 0-3-0
Last Week: 23
Winnipeg Jets (5-5-1)The return of defenseman Dustin Byfuglien from a lower body injury certainly was welcome news to Jets fans as their favorite team muddles along after riding a four-game slide into February. Byfuglien had seven points in six games before he got hurt, so it can be argued that the Jets have done a pretty good job of treading water without him. But treading water is all they ever seem to do. Last week: 2-1-0
Last Week: 19
Phoenix Coyotes (6-5-2)I don't care if they came into the week off back-to-back SO/OT wins against San Jose and Colorado, or that they've won four of their last five outings. They're not going to win the Stanley Cup with mediocre offense and spotty defense. Coach Dave Tippett does a great job and all, but they're a horrible team to watch. Hopefully, the league figures out a way to penalize trapping teams like Phoenix again, but don't count on it. Last week: 2-1-0
Last Week: 27
Philadelphia Flyers (5-7-1)Ilya Bryzgalov was yanked in the second period on Monday night after allowing his fourth goal to the Maple Leafs. Let the debate rage whether he should stay No. 1 in net or if journeyman Brian Boucher should take over. The fact that this debate could possibly happen at all is why the Flyers are going nowhere right now. Coach Peter Laviolette has had some tough luck with injuries, but he's been known to burn out teams with his hollering and yelling. Last week: 2-1-1
Last Week: 22
Buffalo Sabres (5-7-1)They could have gotten back to .500 on Sunday night with a win at home against the Bruins, but that didn't come close to happening. The fans in Buffalo are understandably upset at the state of this team, which was supposed to be on the fast track to the Stanley Cup, starting with the 2011-12 season after a spending spree by owner Terry Pegula. It appears that plenty of folks want the heads of longtime coach Lindy Ruff and GM Darcy Regier on a pike. Last week: 2-2-0
Last Week: 26
Florida Panthers (4-6-1)There were some signs of life emanating from the Sunrise, but not enough to lead anyone to believe that another playoff appearance is in the cards. Goalie Jose Theodore is either hot or cold, and too often he's been the latter this season. But the Panthers do have some hope. They open a four-game homestand this week against Washington on Tuesday night after getting smoked in the nation's capital over the weekend. It's now or never for these Cats. Last week: 1-1-1
Last Week: 16
New York Islanders (4-7-1)Blowing their game against Carolina on Monday night was a killer for the Isles, who are now 1-5-0 at home (3-2-0 on the road). If you can't win in your own barn, you're not going anywhere in late April but the golf course. Even if newly acquired Tim Thomas decides to climb out of his bunker in Colorado Springs and jump in goal, the Islanders seem headed for the draft lottery again. Last week: 0-4-0
Last Week: 29
Calgary Flames (3-4-3)The loss of goalie Miikka Kiprusoff to a lower-body (knee) injury is really bad news for a team that can't score. Coach Bob Hartley has done a pretty good job of making the Flames' record look respectable, but without Kipper in net, the bottom figures to fall out quickly. Last week: 2-1-1
Last Week: 28
Columbus Blue Jackets (4-7-2)They looked pretty sharp on Monday night in a 6-2 win over the Sharks. No way that kind of success will last, but for one night it was good to see the fans in Columbus acting like front-runners. Defenseman Fedor Tyutin (team-leading 10 points) has been a nice story, but this team has a long way to go before it joins the ranks of playoff contenders. Last week: 1-2-1
Last Week: 24
Colorado Avalanche (4-6-1)The Avs are $18 million under the salary cap and owned by one of the richest men on the planet: Stan Kroenke, who was featured in SI last November as the most powerful man in sports. Yet, the Avs continue to refuse to pay their leading scorer from last season (Ryan O'Reilly) what he is seeking. Fans are booing loudly at games now. It's a mess, and with all the injuries hitting the team, the bad times figure to get even worse. Last week: 0-1-1
Last Week: 30
Washington Capitals (3-8-1)Alex Ovechkin seems to be adjusting to playing right wing, and a win over Florida at home stopped the hemorrhaging, but the Caps remain a fiasco. Now they go on the road for games in Florida, Tampa Bay and New York (Rangers). If they don't sweep the trip, their playoff hopes are probably baked. Last week: 1-2-0

Published on: Friday, November 09, 2012
By Brandy L. Simms
Baltimore native Aquille Carr is bringing his high-flying act to Prince George's County.
Carr, the diminutive teenager nicknamed the "Crimestopper" because of his phenomenal exploits on the basketball court, has enrolled at Princeton Day Academy in Beltsville, according to the school's head coach, Van Whitfield.
Carr, a 5-foot-6 point guard who led Baltimore's Patterson High to the Class 3A state championship last season, decided to enroll at Princeton Day Academy after consulting with a former player, according to Whitfield.
The Princeton Day Academy head coach said Carr and former PDA guard Chris Thomas developed a close friendship after the pair became roommates at a Nike summer camp.
"He communicated with Chris Thomas, and Chris said how hard we worked to help put him up to speed academically and we were a no-nonsense program," said Whitfield.
Carr, who made an oral pledge to Seton Hall earlier this year, joins a talented Princeton Day Academy roster that includes various Division I prospects.
Emmanuel Omogbo, a 6-foot-7 forward who spent last season at Don Bosco Cristo Rey High in Montgomery County, has also joined Whitfield's program. Omogbo has made a verbal commitment to attend Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh.
Whitfield said that various other PDA players are receiving interest from Division I college programs including Brandon Better, Anton Waters, Juan Johnson, Malik Kuwornu and William Tchiengang.
Eight out of 11 players made the honor roll at Princeton Day Academy, according to Whitfield.
"I think I'm more impressed at what they're doing academically," Whitfield said. "I'm very pleased with that."

I can not stress this enough. If you are on a topic to play Pokemon, not talking about math assignment yesterday. Either start a new thread in the appropriate forum or search for a topic that speaks for the job. Of course, most business and Spam forum threads flowing in off topic, but it only makes a sudden, random turn-around.

Ryan White and National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
Ryan White and National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
HRSA's Ryan White program has been relentless in responding to the heavy impact of HIV/AIDS on African Americans. Consider the people served. About 47% of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program clients are African Americans; 44% of HIV/AIDS cases are Black Americans.
Additionally, examine the HRSA and grantee initiatives (summarized below) that seek to improve care and client outcomes for African Americans living with HIV/AIDS--the most recent being a funding request to establish a Resource and Technical Assistance Center for HIV Prevention and Care for Black Men who Have Sex with Men (Black MSM) (see funding annoucement HRSA-14-106). These efforts complement the clinical protocols, care engagement models, and other activities that guide the delivery of HIV/AIDS care to all affected populations served under the Ryan White program. The path to further progress can be found in the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and its focus on reducing disparities--especially the HIV care continuum's goal to maximize engagement in care and viral suppression--as well as the Affordable Care Act's mission to expand health care coverage to all Americans.
In response to the 2014 theme of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, I Am My Brother's and Sister's Keeper: Fight HIV/AIDS, we provide a recap of Ryan White technical assistance, training, and other activities--from models of care to special initiatives.
Innovations in Care Delivery
In comparison to national data on engagement in the continuum of care, Ryan White clients have better outcomes in terms of retention in care, receipt of antiretroviral therapy, and viral supression. The Ryan White SPNS program is part of this success in its decades-long investigation of innovative models of HIV/AIDS care, including those focused on minority and underserved populations. Recent examples include Enhancing Access for Women of Color Initiative, 2009-2014 (see the Evaluation Center site) and Enhancing Engagement and Retention in Quality HIV Care for Transgender Women of Color, 2012-2016. Additional SPNS initiatives (current and past) exploring HIV/AIDS care among African Americans and other minority populations include projects targeting young MSM of color and special populations that are disproportionately African American, including HIV-infected individuals, substance users (under the buprenorphine initiative), and persons in correctional settings or those soon to be released to the community.
SPNS is turning innovation into practice with manuals, curricula, webinars, and tools under iHIP: Integrating HIV Innovative Practices.
Stigma around HIV/AIDS remains a barrier to care for people from all communities, including African Americans. Another challenge to care is increasing the capacity of staff members to deliver care to minority communities in a culturally appropriate manner. A wealth of tools is available on the TARGET Center's Cultural Competency topic page. One example is the BESAFE Cultural Competency Model.
Testing, Engaging People in Care
HIV testing and linking people to care is a focal point of Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. Getting people into care is a major aim of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and a means for addressing the treatment cascade, a mathematical concept based on the premise that only limited numbers of infected individuals in the United States are getting a level of care that is sufficient to maximize viral suppression. The TARGET Center's HIV Testing topic page presents many tools for clinicians and programs to use in conducting HIV testing in clinic settings. Similarly, the Engagement in Care topic page presents a host of technical resources that have been developed by HRSA and Ryan White agencies to improve care engagement.
Clinical Training
The AETC clinical training program for Ryan White includes multiple specialized training projects and resources for populations and issues. See the topic page for listings of resources specific to African Americans and many other timely topics.

Beneath William Crutchfields whimsical subject matter and exquisite draftsmanship often lies a satirical commentary on humanity. The San Pedrobased artist uses a variety of mediasculpture, painting and printsto harness his imagination, but he considers drawing the fundamental core to all of these pursuits. This emphasis on drawing was a natural fit for printmaking, and Crutchfield worked at both Gemini and Tamarind, beginning in the 1960s. Air Land Sea, a suite of 13 lithographs, was completed during his second visit as a guest artist at Tamarind (his first visit in 1963 yielded only one print, but he had since made two important series at Gemini in 1966). In the portfolio, Crutchfield employed his characteristic style by using tusche applied with a pen to create the inventive subject matter. The artist then had the printer apply various colors of ink to one roller to create the blended effect of the palette. Crutchfields interest in the relationship between man and machine was particularly suited to the Los Angeles County Museum of Arts significant but controversial Art and Technology exhibition, held in 1971; Crutchfield produced its screenprinted poster and several illustrations for the catalogue.

Just take Mubarak as an example, how do you think egyptian teenagers feel about the US? They've been beaten by corrupt police backed by the corrupt government which has been backed by different forms of US aid.
It doesn't matter why Mubarak was supported. The fact is that people who don't even dare to dream to have just one of the rights listed in the BOR have been beaten, killed and incarcerated by a corrupt totalitarian government backed by american tax dollars.
They will be bitter as heck and when the islamists get their hand on them they become fuel for the jihad.
Edit: For people who aren't guerillas the US soldiers pose no threat, they can't intimidate them. What about all the angered young men in the middle east who are not iraqi or afghani? At least two generations of egyptians consider the US a dictator supporting, reckless and ignorant beast. From their perspective, that is what the US is. They don't know about the second amendment, they don't see how one terrorist attack on the US equates to two wars in the middle east. They have bombs going off all the time. I've met an Egyptian who lost an eye to a terrorist attack by some islamist nutjob. He thought the islamists were crazy people and he hated his freedom hating government (that was paid for by US dollars).
We all hate the jihadists, but the issue at hand is to keep their numbers from growing! The vast majority of the people in this part of the world just wants to buy a house and a car.

This is from last year. We have Western Dogwood here which, unlike Eastern Dogwood, has more than four petals. In the autumn the berries turn bright red and the leaves turn sort of a brick red and look like stained glass when the sun shines on them. There are whole hillsides of dogwood in some spots and it's a gorgeous site if you catch it at the right time. I tried to catch the "stained glass" effect here, but I used different colored pencils for the veining before the watercolor was applied as an experiment. The original colors are much brighter than this, but oh well, it'll have to do.

Dating - the bane of my fucking life. It's one of those weird things that no matter how many times you do it, you don't actually seem to get any better at it and people can turn at the drop of a hat. Believe me, we've all been there. You're getting really into someone, you had a fantastic date, you fancy the pants off of them, they fancy the pants off of you, they tell you they want to see you again, you definitely want to see them again, then…. nothing.
This is an optimistic post. This is a romantic post. This is a post about love. This means that if you don't like optimism, romance or love then you can fuck right off: this post is not for you.

If you haven't watched Game of Thrones then ignore this entire blog post because won't really get it. Also if you've not watched GoT then you need to rectify that because it's brilliant. Even if you aren't into the fantasy genre it's worth watching because if you boil it down to its very essence GoT is essentially a political drama. One of my past ex's hated the whole fantasy genre (a fact he kept pushing on me which contributed to our inevitable break up) but I convinced him to sit down and watch a few episodes of GoT with me – after the second one he was hooked.
So a friend of mine recently accused me of being less of a feminist than he was (the fact that he has a penis means nothing in this context.) The accusation came after we exchanged examples of illustration styles that we liked. His tastes are very different from mine, which lean more towards artists such as, Hyung-Tae-Kim and Masamune Shirow. At the time I didn't think much of it, however it slowly formed in my mind: I consider myself to be a feminist. Not the Germaine Greer "burning bra" type, but a modern 21st century "equality for women" type. However, how can I call myself a modern feminist if I subconsciously enjoy imagery of unrealistic and overly sexualised women?

Going on holiday is always exciting. Because if you're anything like me, then it normally requires an intense shopping session beforehand which always sees you buying a new bikini or two (as well as some other exciting purchases!) However there are some less exciting (but equally important) things you need to remember to pack, or they'll cost you a fortune to replace when you're away!
So what are they and why is it such a pain when you forget them? Well everybody's list if different but below is a list of things that I find crucial to take when going abroad…
When my (now ex) boyfriend Rob suggested a holiday to Morocco (Marrakesh) I was not overly keen on the idea. Mainly because most Moroccan's insist on putting fruit in almost everything they cook and I hate cooked fruit - particularly dry and preserved fruit. So naturally I assumed I was going to starve or end up eating plain couscous or bananas for the entire holiday. However, I eventually realised that I was being a bit dramatic. So I swallowed my apprehension and sat down with him to book it.

When it comes to fashion labels I don't really have a lot of loyalty but I do love Chanel. I have since I was a little girl (my first Chanel item was a beach towel when I was 11 – an extravagant gift from my mother.) I also love Vivienne Westwood with her punk influences and beautifully constructed dresses. However, as much as I love Karl and Viv, there is one designer who had my love faster than you could say haute couture. Well… I suppose I should say haute macabre because the designer in questions is none other than the irreplaceable Alexander McQueen – heaven rest his brilliant soul.
I received this as part of my monthly Glossybox delivery. Prior to that I'd never heard of the brand before and as a result of this, didn't think the product itself would be very good. Presumptuous I know but pleasantly I was proven wrong and it quickly became my favourite product out of that Glossybox.

Like an unacknowledged sickness that's been left to fester and torment me, I've recently discovered a horrible truth about myself that I've spent most of my adult life ignoring. It's nothing truly terrible but it explains a lot and now that I've identified it. I'm hoping it's going to save me from a lot of pain and heartache. Well that's what I thought but it never really works out like that really does it?
As a general rule of thumb I try and avoid them. I know that's not entirely mature of me but they don't really have the best survival rate do they? Not that I've heard of anyway. You may have heard otherwise. It's just… I don't think a lot of people have it in them to be faithful when long distance is introduced into a relationship. After all, loneliness does funny things to people and well… people have needs (if you get what I mean!) Most relationships are hard enough when there isn't much distance between you.

According to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times, anyway:
Source close to
#Dodgers says team offered C Ryan Doumit 1-year deal for just under $3 million. Doumit passed. #Angels still haven't called.
If we set aside the usual "yeah, but I have a source that says James Loney is close to being elected president of the moon" hesitation and take this at face value, it's actually pretty interesting on a couple of different levels. The simple fact that they're (possibly) interested in Doumit is both good and bad, because Doumit really can hit, putting up a .303/.353/.477 (.830) in an injury-shortened season. Over the last five seasons, the switch-hitter's total line is .280/.337/.454 (.791), good for a 111 OPS+ while seeing time at catcher, first base, and right field. Though he's not a perfect fit for a platoon option to replace Loney or Andre Ethier since he hits righties far better than lefties, his solid bat and multi-positional flexibility make him an intriguing addition to any team's bench.
Here's the thing though – I sincerely doubt that's how he'd be looked at if he landed in Los Angeles, with it being far more likely that he'd be coming to join A.J. Ellis as a veteran option behind the plate, and that's a little scary. It's one thing to be thought of as poor defensive catcher, and it's quite another thing to be such a lousy catcher that in some circles, he's not thought of as even an option back there. He is, by some measures, the absolute worst defensive catcher in baseball, and that matters. (Personally, I love having the flexibility of three catchers, so to have him as a bench bat mainly playing 1B and RF but being available to catch if needed due to injury or double switches would be wonderful.)
The other item that's somewhat confounding is that it seems like somewhat of a lowball offer to give him under $3m, particularly with the upward trend we've seen in salaries so far this offseason. Doumit earned $5.25m in 2011, and the Pirates declined to exercise options of $7.25m in 2012 and $8.25m in 2013. That was the right move because he's not worth that much, especially if he can't catch, yet it's hard to think that he's going to take a paycut of nearly half – particularly when he's been more effective since 2008 (.783 OPS) than Juan Rivera (.743 OPS), who just pulled in $4.5m. It's a great deal for the Dodgers if he accepts, but it's so low that it's impossible to think that he would have. (It's also once again worth noting that this is an unconfirmed report, so who knows if that dollar figure is accurate.)
According to Doumit's own page, he got married this weekend, so it's unlikely he was spending too much time working on contract details. On the other hand, maybe the offer was so low that his agent didn't feel the need to stop laughing and pick up the phone to interrupt the nuptials. Either way, if true, it's a very interesting tactic by the Dodgers.

Summertime is chock full of activities from music festivals to road trips. Don't let your current spending limit your options of things you want to do (think: traveling abroad) or things you need to get done (see: paying next month's rent). Instead, check out these websites (thanks, USA Today!) that can help you manage your money now and even help you save for a future purchase.
For example, Mint.com allows you to easily and securely connect your bank account to the program, which categorizes your spending to see where and how much you're spending. You may need to cool it with the soy lattes from your favorite café for a few weeks but it's worth enjoying those summer activities.
Another website is Smartypig.com. Here, you determine your goal and then start saving for it. You can also sync your bank account to Smartypig.com and it will withdraw funds until your goal is met or you can manually withdraw money from your bank account and sync the money to Smartypig.com. Need airfare and a ticket to Bonnaroo? You can set it as a goal on Smartypig.com and start saving!
Maybe you and a few friends are running a marathon and want to raise funds to donate to a worthy cause. If so, Gofundme.com is the place to go. Set up an account, share it on social media sites or through email and collect donations. It's easy and you can raise money for anything! Need a laptop for college? Create an account on Gofundme.com and you could collect donations from friends and family.
Are there any activities you have planned for the summer or any helpful tips on ways to save? Let us know in the comments section!

Online and digital textbooks are a growing resource for college students. They can be cheap, interactive, fun and sometimes more useful than their traditional predecessors. And now there is a surge of technology for professors to use as well, including ways to digitally check if their students are reading the assigned material.
I personally have only used digital textbooks as accompaniments to hardcover books but the concept of an entirely digital book is enticing. Only having to carry around a tablet or laptop is a great thing for students burdened by long walks across campus with clunky book bags. But when I'm assigned a reading, I assume that the teacher trusts that I'll do it – not that I necessarily have to but because it will benefit me in the long run. I think that checking via software forces students to do something that a good student would already do. And I think that most college students aren't attending college to NOT do their assignments; it's not a cheap investment to just sit around!
Honor codes at most colleges deal with assignments, cheating, etc. The idea is great but its execution comes across a bit untrusting from professors. It may also not be the best way to keep tabs on student learning. For some, this kind of checking could benefit them but students have their own unique study methods and could do poorly on the online checks but still ace tests. Programs like CourseSmart (one of the online data collecting programs) could be useful to chart progress overall but to place grades or too much merit in the technology conveys a message to students that professors don't trust their commitment to coursework. People learn different ways and should be given the opportunity to study, read and work the way that is best for them.
Overall, the idea of digital textbooks is a great one if used properly: as an additional resource and not a primary way of determining student learning. Other resources, quizzes and methods should be used as well to provide a balance in various learning styles. What has your experience with digital textbooks been?

Balancing relationships on campus can be a task. For new college students, the freedom can be quite overwhelming: Students are no longer under the microscope of their parents and can come and go and do as they please. As amazing as it sounds, however, it is key to remember the pros and cons of this autonomy.
Without an outside viewpoint, it is much easier to get caught up in detrimental relationships, both romantic and platonic. When you have so much access to another person, it becomes quite easy to take them for granted or vice versa. Sometimes you need a break from friends and groups to regain your own identity. This is ok. Always remember to make choices that are best for YOU. Are you in a parasitic friendship? Are they draining you and giving nothing in return? If the answer is yes, then you need to reevaluate the path of your friendship.
While friendships are important to keep healthy, the most dangerous relationships can be ones of the dating variety, as college-age students are the most at risk for domestic abuse relationships. Consider these statistics:
Open your eyes and see the signs of unhealthy relationships. Whether it's a friend or significant other, know when to separate yourself from situations that are not conducive to your educational experience and your health.

Did you know Cornell University offers a program for inmates at Auburn Correctional Facility and Cayuga Correctional Facility to receive college educations?
The Cornell Prison Education Program (CPEP) began from the ideas and actions of English professor Winthrop "Pete" Wetherbee who, without funding, began teaching in the Auburn prison in the mid-1990s. By 1999, CPEP was offering Cornell credit for completed courses and in 2008, Cornell and Cayuga Community College (CCC) made an agreement which has Cornell waive tuition and fees, CPEP supply instructors and pay for books, school supplies and administration and CCC endow associate degrees. Plus, the CPEP is relatively low in cost – $1,800 per student – and has numerous benefits: Prison education appears to increase the safety of the prisons because the men and women are staying occupied, learning and building self-esteem.
The programs have been getting a positive reaction because other inmates want to join. Retired Cornell professor Richard Polenberg taught a constitutional history course at Auburn Correctional Facility and had said, "These men are extraordinary" and "They are very, very well behaved in the classroom and they ask really good questions." Government and American Studies professor Mary Katzenstein explains, "Ninety-five percent of men and women in prison are released to society. Do we want people returning who have learned only to hone tricks of the trade, or do we want people coming back to our neighborhoods who have had a chance to learn the kind of analytical skills and be exposed to the ethical values that a liberal arts education is able to impart?"
With the low cost and many benefits of the CPEP, I think all correctional facilities should have a program like it and more colleges should follow Cornell's lead. What are your thoughts about the CPEP?

Your time in college will include getting an education, making friends and enjoying your newfound freedom. Want to maximize all three of those aspects at the same time? Just take part in some of the fun campus events that colleges provide!
So why should you attend events on campus? You get to become more involved at your school and, if you're interested, even join the host committee. I am on the Homecoming/Spring Fling Committee and I had so much fun planning and working on its activities: Just this week, we welcomed "American Idol" winner Phillip Phillips to Campbell for a concert! Campbell also has a group on campus called the Campus Activity Board which organizes the most exciting events for students to attend. They recently held a campus-wide Easter egg hunt where students looked for eggs throughout the day to win prizes. Attending campus events may even give you a leg up academically: Depending on the event, professors may reward students with extra credit for their attendance. (We call these events "luncheon learns" at Campbell.)
My philosophy is to attend as many events and activities as possible because you're able to have fun with your friends, meet new people and sometimes obtain some free school swag. (I have so many Campbell free t-shirts just in my first year that I don't have to worry about buying more apparel from the bookstore!) Even the time leading up to the event is fun: For the Phillip Phillips concert, many students stood in line for tickets and the camaraderie we shared as we waited is one of my favorite college memories to date. We got great seats for this sold-out event, too!
Whether you're after a free t-shirt, extra credit, front row concert seats or a memorable experience, make sure to take advantage of all the events your campus has to offer. What events have you attended at your school?

The academic year is winding down – before you know it, it will be finals week and time for semester grades! – and this is a critical time to decide if you want to drop a class or stick it out to the end. If you're on the fence about what to do, you must consider some critical points.
There are many reasons college students decide to drop classes and while some reasons are out of their hands, there are usually ways to fix the problems they may be having. Do not take the easy route without first considering the issue, weighing the consequences and seeing if there is a way to remedy the situation. Also, stay on track during the semester – keeping up with your assignments and responsibilities will prevent you from having to make this difficult decision later on.

Imagine a place where every time you bought a pack of cigarettes, you would be funding a college student's education. In the near future, that place could be California: The California Residents College Accessibility and Affordability Act of 2014 would increase tax by $1 for every pack of 20 cigarettes and the money would be deposited into a fund for financial aid.
The California Residents College Accessibility and Affordability Act of 2014 has a projected revenue of $800 million but there is an estimated loss of $70 million of proceeds that go to existing resources. The taxes on tobacco that already exist go to programs for tobacco education and prevention, tobacco-related disease research, breast cancer screenings for uninsured women and early childhood education. (The California Residents College Accessibility and Affordability Act of 2014 would still receive $730 million from its excise on tobacco.)
The tax on tobacco that the California Residents of College Accessibility and Affordability Act of 2014 wants to initiate has to be reviewed by the Board of Equalization. The Board's job is to estimates the impact the tax would have on other programs that already use taxation on cigarettes. Cal State Northridge senior and sociology major Debra Hendricks said she would vote for the taxation because she has lost many people to cigarette smoking and she likes the idea that the money would be used to support students who want a college education. Junior biology major Jessica Fuentes, however, isn't sure if another cigarette tax proposal would pass but she thinks the financial aid aspect of the proposal makes the excise appealing.
Personally, I think taxing cigarette smokers again is unfair because they are always the ones getting taxed for their activity. I don't promote smoking but smokers shouldn't be the ones to shoulder the burden of spending more because of a societal view on cigarettes. Maybe the California tax should be on alcohol instead – the state would make more revenue that way! What's your view about this taxation proposal on cigarettes?

Ning Hou
Course Title: MSc International Planning and DevelopmentCountry: China
Year of Graduation: 2009Current Employer: Beijing Tsinghua Urban Planning & Design Institute
Ning does planning for rural areas and models urban spaces for a living. Benefitting from the study methods he learnt in Cardiff, he takes away valuable transferable skills in information gathering and analysis that he uses until today. Confident that transitioning in Cardiff is not a difficult task, he says he had little problems getting used to life here.
I chose to do my MSc International Planning and Development because of the good reputation of the School.
The skill that prepared me the most for my career was the study method that I gained in Cardiff University. This was where I was taught to obtain and organise information in the best way possible; to analyse problems and to form a formal solution at the end of it. It was also a rigorous exercise in being objective and learning through a practice-based approach. This way of information gathering can be used in most fields of learning and I certainly used it at work.
Yes there were some really nice teachers who were so professional in their academic capacity and were easy to get along with. I also enjoyed the exchange of knowledge with friends from different countries. Planning work can differ greatly between the UK and China due to political backgrounds and different levels of developmental progress in each country. What I learnt here taught me a lot about the planning issues in China.
The pre-sessional course was also helpful in teaching me academic English.
For most of my friends and myself, there wasn't a problem at all.
I work quite long hours, starting from 9am to 6pm and this is the norm in China for planners in big companies. I work overtime a lot and handle quite a heavy workload.
I am currently working in the Research Centre for Master Planning. Our main projects consist of handling the master planning of cities and new districts. We also handle some overall urban designs along with the master planning projects. For the past two years, my personal responsibilities have been focused on two things: planning the rural area in cities and modelling urban space with the help of computer technology. I also help out with different projects depending on what the office is handling at the moment.
Master planning is very complicated work. They are all huge projects that require the entire team to pull together and every project is a challenge for me. I am constantly studying alongside the working and there is always room to improve myself.
Cities become more liveable and people can go out into public spaces to enjoy a healthier and richer public life. Knowing that I have contributed to their lifestyles like that is definitely something good about my job.
I think those academic lessons I mentioned about essay-writing and information gathering are the most important lessons I learnt. That and the fact that I learnt to cook in Cardiff!
Do some part-time work, visit the National Museum Cardiff, go to festivals and join the Cardiff Half Marathon.
Just come. Cardiff will give you much more than you think.
Just come. Cardiff will give you much more than you think.
I can find anything I need in the local supermarkets or Chinese supermarkets and food is inexpensive. Students don't need to spend too much in Cardiff in order to live well.
Zhang Xiaoye, MSc International Transport
What I acquired from Cardiff wasn't just a certificate and degree; I now have the ability to handle problems alone, a great attitude to life and the desire to chase after my dreams.
Zhujing, MSc International Economics, Banking and Finance
Hi, I'm Sarah Watts and I've been Country Manager for China since 2007. I travel to China about 4 times a year, where I attend education exhibitions and counselling sessions run by our agents, as well as conducting pre-departure briefings. My visits to China will be advertised on this page so please do keep a look-out for when I'm next coming. Please feel free to contact with me with any questions you might have.

Truth & Rumors > NBA
Is J.R. Smith taking a shot at Nuggets on Twitter?

02:04 PM ET 01.03 | Every year at the NFL Rookie Symposium, former head coach and current ESPN analyst Herm Edwards addresses the crowd on various topics. One of those for the past few years has been about the use of social media- especially Twitter. As the majority of you reading this know, Twitter is the most used social network by athletes and it can be a good thing as they are able to connect with fans. But as Edwards famously says, "Think before you hit send." J.R. Smith of the New York Knicks, formerly of the Denver Nuggets, received a tweet from a fan which he retweeted to his 209,000 followers that said: @T_Humphrey34: @TheRealJRSmith Crazy how different things can be when you play for a coach, team, and city who believes in you and has your back.." Okay so it wasn't THAT bad, but it still raised eyebrows. Smith also took to his Instagram account (teamswish) to upload a picture of himself in a Nuggets jersey and Knicks jersey. In the picture, Smith posted the caption, "#2DifferentPeople, #InTheSamePerson."
This is a nothing story. JR is a man and entitled to express himself as he sees fit.
I'm sure JGB will be excited about it!!!
Smith posted the caption, "#2DifferentPeople, #InTheSamePerson.
each day that he wakes up he doesn't know who he is.
This is a nothing story. JR is a man and entitled to express himself as he sees fit.
I have to actually give JR Smith a lot of credit too...
he has played extremely well this season.
-his shooting percentage is not great- only 42%- but really not terrible either
BUT- i really think Jr Smith has grown up for the most part...I think he is in his prime, and gets what the league is about and really wants to win. He has always been a very talented scorer, but I think he is trying on both ends of the court this year.
he is basically averaging 17, 5 and 3....pretty darn good for a guy making 3 million a year. I am beginning to think that he can be added to the list of Knicks that are above average NBA players- to Melo (who I have as 4th right now behind LBJ, CP3, KD), Chandler, and (begrudgingly) Amare, --- Jr Smith and Felton as your 4th and 5th best players is much better then expected at the beginning of the year when Felton was coming off a terrible season, and JR Smith never seemed like he would get it...
can you win if Melo is your best player (if he continues his maturation he has shown this year- that is a clear YES), Chandler as your 2nd best player (hmm...not ideal since he is a 1 way player, but ill say YES, Olympian, DPOY, champion, and while he is not good at offense he is at least very efficient), Amare as your 3rd best player , and Felton and Jr Smith as your 4th and 5th....hmm...
tons of question marks, but in the end, it MIGHT be POSSIBLE, even if it is improbable for them to get to the ECF and give Miami something other then a 4 or 5 game series....
you just need 5-6 good players, and at the beginning of the year- Melo was seen as selfish and only an offensive player, Chandler as injury prone but a great defender, Amare as a physical wreck, and STRICTLY an offensive player...Felton as fat, and Jr Smtih as a head case
all those guys have improved in some way or another
...Uh, did you really decide to conveniently leave out his next tweet?!
"I thank the FANS an the OWNER in Denver they both stuck by me threw everything! As well as my TEAMMATES! Thank you all! #THATISALL"

Man I don't care.. HE GETS HIS JOB DONE. so long as he takes and makes those crazy shots along with the occasional dazzling dunks he's all good in my books. Nobody's perfect.
