Stereotype threat
Primarily taken from: http://www.reducingstereotypethreat.org/
Stereotype threat refers to being at risk of confirming, as self-characteristic a negative stereotype about one's group. Understood as a threat that arises when one is doing something for which a negative stereotype for one's group applies. In these situations, individuals are at risk of confirming a negative stereotype about their group.
An example of stereotype threat is a member of a stigmatized group (i.e., African American students, women) feeling apprehension about performing on an academic task because the individual is afraid that a possible poor performance may confirm a pre-existing negative stereotype about the individual's group (i.e., intellectual capabilities of African Americans or perceived underperformance of women in science and mathematics).
Any individual can be harmed by the stereotype threat, but those who are most vulnerable are any individuals for whom there is a stereotype-based expectation for poor performance on a task. Applied to an academic setting, the stereotype threat is commonly manifested in the performance of minorities on certain academic tasks, and the performance of females in math or physics tasks. These psychological stressors have little to do with students' sense of competence regarding intellectual tasks, but rather they stem from the negative stereotypes associated with their performance in testing situations. Membership in a minority or low-status group is not a prerequisite for experiencing stereotype threat. However, being a member of such a group does expose an individual to stereotype threat more regularly. Consequences
There are a number of far-reaching consequences of the stereotype threat. Most obvious of the consequences is underperforming on a task for which there is a negative stereotype. Other consequences include a reduced sense of belonging in the stereotyped domain and reduced degree that individuals value the domain in question. In education, it can also lead students to choose not to pursue a particular domain of study and, consequently, limit the range of professions that they can pursue.

Susan G Komen reversal of Planned Parenthood funding finds mixed reviews on Twitter
Joshua Roberts/Reuters
In the wake of sharp criticism and widespread backlash over the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars for clinic breast-health programs, earlier today the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation reversed its decision on Friday to cut funding to Planned Parenthood.
CEO Nancy Brinker released a statement saying the controversial move was not meant to penalize or single out Planned Parenthood, however many believe the situation has been was influenced by abortion-related politics and pressure:
We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women's lives. The events of this week have been deeply unsettling for our supporters, partners and friends and all of us at Susan G. Komen. We have been distressed at the presumption that the changes made to our funding criteria were done for political reasons or to specifically penalize Planned Parenthood. They were not.
Our original desire was to fulfill our fiduciary duty to our donors by not funding grant applications made by organizations under investigation. We will amend the criteria to make clear that disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive in nature and not political. That is what is right and fair.
Our only goal for our granting process is to support women and families in the fight against breast cancer. Amending our criteria will ensure that politics has no place in our grant process. We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants, while maintaining the ability of our affiliates to make funding decisions that meet the needs of their communities.
It is our hope and we believe it is time for everyone involved to pause, slow down and reflect on how grants can most effectively and directly be administered without controversies that hurt the cause of women. We urge everyone who has participated in this conversation across the country over the last few days to help us move past this issue. We do not want our mission marred or affected by politics – anyone's politics.
Starting this afternoon, we will have calls with our network and key supporters to refocus our attention on our mission and get back to doing our work. We ask for the public's understanding and patience as we gather our Komen affiliates from around the country to determine how to move forward in the best interests of the women and people we serve.
We extend our deepest thanks for the outpouring of support we have received from so many in the past few days and we sincerely hope that these changes will be welcomed by those who have expressed their concern.
Susan G. Komen cures backlash with Planned Parenthood policy reversal?
Susan G. Komen For the Cure foundation announced Friday it would reverse its controversial decision to cut financial support for Planned Parenthood breast exams.
The policy flop comes after days of widespread backlash over the loss of more than $600,000 in grant money for clinic breast health programs.
Many questioned if Komen caved to political pressure, and the unpopular decision even prompted the resignation of a top SGK official, The Atlantic reported Thursday.
Today, Susan G. Komen founder and CEO Nancy G. Brinker said in a statement that the research advocacy group's decision to end funding for providers under investigation was not politically motivated, explains the L.A. Times.
Brinker said the policy was not meant to single out Planned Parenthood, an organization currently under congressional investigation by Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) to determine if federal funding was used for abortion services.
Planned PR-hood: Susan G. Komen Foundation responds to backlash
Red-alert reaction to the pink ribbon organization has colored the past two days since breast-cancer research advocacy group Susan G. Komen For the Cure foundation announced it would be cutting its support for Planned Parenthood.
Widespread backlash over the loss of more than $600,000 in grant money for breast exams has many questioning if Komen caved to political pressure. A top Susan G. Komen official has resigned over the decision, The Atlantic reported.
Susan G. Komen founder and CEO Nancy G. Brinker has issued a face-to-screen video response to the Planned Parenthood controversy. Affirming her 30-year commitment to helping women, she says the changes only reinforce the foundation's mission.

House GOP votes to delay Obamacare for one year, http://rtvote.com/1dS3N8u House Republicans voted on a stopgap spending measure to delay the implementation of the Affordable Care Act for one year. The bill will be sent back to the Senate, but it faces certain defeat, as the Senate and President Obama have both stated that they will not accept any bill that will delay or defund Obamacare. If Congress cannot overcome this impasse, a government shutdown will be announced tomorrow.
NSA Gathers Data on Social Connections of U.S. Citizens, http://rtvote.com/18klFXE In November 2010, the National Security Agency (NSA) lifted restrictions on examining Americans' social network activity for foreign intelligence purposes. NSA policy had previously prohibited this practice because of concerns about American citizens' privacy. The spy agency can now collect information ranging from a citizen's record of phone calls and emails to his or her Facebook profile, bank codes, and GPS locations.
House GOP moves to protect military pay in a shutdown, http://rtvote.com/18koGad In the event of a government shutdown, many federal workers will be staying at home without pay. On Saturday, however, House Republicans proposed a bill that would ensure military service members continued to be paid if Congress is unable to avoid a government shutdown come end of business today. Although the House passed the bill on military pay unanimously, Democrats complained that this overlooked the value of many other federal workers, who would be forced to go without pay during this time.
UN votes to eliminate Syria's chemical weapons, http://rtvote.com/1eU7WvF The U.N. Security Council unanimously passed a resolution to secure and destroy Syria's chemical weapons. All 15 council members signed on as co-sponsors to the resolution. This marks the first breakthrough decision that the council has agreed upon since the Syrian civil war began. It also sends a zero-tolerance message to all countries on the use of chemical weapons.
Hassan Rouhani's return to Iran marked by 'death to America' chants, http://rtvote.com/1fCVhOW After what seemed like a constructive visit to the U.N. general assembly to discuss Iran's nuclear program, many American politicians and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani left in high spirits. Obama and Rouhani even had a 15-minute telephone call afterwards, marking the first interaction between an American and Iranian president in more than three decades. However, Rouhani's return to Iran was greeted with angry protests, as hardliners opposed the president's pro-American meeting.

THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF VARIABLE STAR OBSERVERS 25 Birch Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 USA INTERNET: firstname.lastname@example.com Tel. 617-354-0484 FAX 617-354-0665 AAVSO ALERT NOTICE 228 (September 6, 1996) REQUEST TO MONITOR 1804+67 HS 1804+6753 FOR OBSERVATIONS WITH HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE Astronomers at the University of Southampton, England, have requested our assistance in their upcoming observations with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) of the eclipsing dwarf nova type cataclysmic variable HS 1804+6753. Their observations will be made on September 13 from 02:20 to 15:06 UT, and they will be obtaining high time-resolution ultraviolet spectra of the system. Their observing window will include two eclipses, with mid-eclipse occurring at 05:49 and 10:51 UT. Full coverage of an eclipse requires about one hour on either side of mid-eclipse. Please monitor HS 1804+6753 closely between now and the end of the month, and report your observations to AAVSO Headquarters on a nightly basis, so that we may inform the astronomers of the status of the system before, during, and after the HST observations. Observations in the AAVSO International Database indicate that HS 1804+6753 varies from visual magnitude 12.5 to 16.0. Observers with Charged-Couple Devices (CCDs) with or without filters are strongly recommended to contribute to this important observing run. The astronomers have indicated that high speed CCD photometry, using B,V,R,I filters, obtained during the time of the HST observations themselves would be especially valuable. These multicolor data would be useful in extending the wavelength range from space ultraviolet all the way to infrared and would allow the astronomers to determine the luminosities and temperatures of the different components of this compact binary system. Observers are recommended to make such observations at 3-minute or shorter intervals. It is essential to report the exact time of these observations to the second, if possible. Accompanying is a chart of HS 1804+6753 made using The Sky software; the magnitudes are from the Guide Star Catalog. AAVSO longtime observer John Bortle has sky-checked this comparison star sequence and indicates that he has found it acceptable. Note that the Designation 1804+67 (that is, the hours and minutes of right ascension and degrees of declination for epoch 1900) is the same as the hours and minutes of right ascension and degrees of declination for the 2000 position (1804+67). The amount of precession from 2000 to 1900 is very small because of the high latitude of the system: (2000) R.A. = 18h 04m 13.9s Decl. = +67 degrees 54' 11" precesses to (1900) R.A. = 18h 04m 35.5s Decl. = +67 degrees 53' 32" CHARTS AVAILABLE ON AAVSO FTP SITE Electronic copies of the chart of HS 1804+6753 mentioned in this Alert Notice are available from our FTP site: ftp.aavso.org (184.108.40.206), in /pub/alert228 The chart may also be accessed through our Web site at the following address: http://www.aavso.org The answering machine at AAVSO Headquarters is on nights and weekends for your convenience. Please call our charge-free number (800-642-3883) to report your observations. If you are cut off when you telephone in your observations, please wait a few minutes and call back to complete your call. We have learned that if someone calls to leave observations on the answering machine and while they are speaking someone else calls, the first person may be cut off. We also encourage observers to send observations by fax to 617-354-0665 or by e-mail through the Internet to firstname.lastname@example.com. We would appreciate it very much if you would report your observations in Universal Time. Many thanks for your valuable astronomical contributions and your efforts. Good observing! Janet A.

"On behalf of the AIA, and the AIA's national Disaster Assistance Committee, I want to extend our concern, thoughts and prayers to people affected by the devastating storm in Moore, Oklahoma, a suburb of Oklahoma City.
"As experienced disaster responders, the AIA has already reached out to our affected AIA components to offer any support we can as our members assist clients and communities in evaluating the damage and moving forward with recovery.
"Our experts passionately advocate for and educate other architects to evaluate damage to structures affected by such natural events, so that we may keep people safely away from further harm and return them to their homes as quickly as possible. More than 1,000 AIA members have received specific training to perform this work. And our AIA Oklahoma component has more than 20 trained evaluators from a session we ran last October.
"For the moment, though, it is time for search and rescue. And we hope and pray those efforts are successful."

Baseball Takes Rain-Shortened Game Over Flagler
DAHLONEGA, GA – North Georgia College
& State University used a pair of four-run innings and held a
nine-run lead before the rains came and gave the Saints a 9-0
rain-shorted victory over Flagler College Friday evening in
non-conference action.
North Georgia improves to 30-23, winning six of their last seven games, while Flagler College falls to 17-34 overall.
After Flagler was set down in order in the first inning, North Georgia came out in the bottom of the inning and put two runners on with walks before Brad Hall singled through the right side to load the bases with one out. Daniel Petitti followed and delivered a single through the left side to bring Andre Airich and Jordan Erisman home to score, before Chad Sage followed later in the inning with a double to right center, plating two more runs for a four-run first inning.
North Georgia was held in check after the first frame until the sixth inning when they started with three straight singles, and used RBI hits from Hall and Erisman to give the home team a 6-0 lead. Sage would drive in two more runs later in the inning, sending a triple to right center to cap North Georgia's second four-run inning of the contest and make it 8-0. Erisman singled up the middle in the seventh to plate the final run of the game before the rain came and forced the game to be called after seven innings.
Blake Hobby (5-4) picks up his fifth win of the season, winning consecutive starts and running his scoreless innings streak to 18.0. The freshman tossed all 7.0 innings, allowing two hits while striking out nine.
Austin Donmoyer (5-7) suffered the loss for Flagler, allowing eight runs on 12 hits, while walking three and striking out five in 5.2 innings of work.
North Georgia and Flagler will play game two of the three game series Saturday afternoon with first pitch set for 3:00 p.m. Michael Patton will take the mound for the Saints, coming off consecutive appearances without allowing a run, a span that has lasted 9.0 innings.

TORONTO, ON-- The Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) announced that premium rates paid by employers will rise by 2.5 per cent in 2013, including the rates for the trucking, warehousing and courier sectors, prompting the Ontario Trucking Association (OTA) to respond cautiously to the announcement.
"On the one hand, the 2.5-per cent increase is a lower than WSIB officials were signalling earlier in the year when discussing a new revenue strategy to address the board's ballooning unfunded liability," said the OTA in a release.
"The members aren't usually impressed when we tell them it could have been worse," says OTA president David Bradley. "But we do feel that the consultative approach taken by new WSIB chair, Elizabeth Witmer was constructive; she clearly understands that employers in the trucking sector and elsewhere have little breathing space when it comes to increased payroll costs in the current economic environment. She is someone we can work with."
"And, our work is far from over," says Bradley. "The WSIB will need to continue to work with us to mitigate the need for further increases in future years; the WSIB's focus needs to be as much or more on what can be done to control costs as to find revenue."
OTA has been engaged on policy review projects undertaken by the WSIB including the Jim Thomas Benefits Policy Review and stakeholder consultation on employer classification, rate setting and experience rating led by special advisor Douglas Stanley.
OTA's WSIB Committee continues to provide guidance throughout these consultations and feedback on policy instruments that may be used or amended to meet the needs of the industry.
The association also acknowledged an announcement from Ontario labour minister, Linda Jeffrey, from earlier this week that the provincial government would be moving forward with two amendments to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act (WSIA) once the Legislature returns to business that she says will help promote the long-term stability of the workers' compensation system.
One of the proposed changes to the WSIA would, if passed, allow the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) to review loss of earnings benefits after 72 months.
Currently, benefits are generally 'locked in' after 72 months, even if an injured worker's condition improves or they rejoin the workforce. Ontario is the only province in Canada to 'lock in' Loss of Earnings benefits after 72 months.

New Leaf Digital's Developer Blog
Tech Blog :: 960.gs
The layout of Antiques Near Me (a startup I co-founded) has long been built using the sturdy 960.gs grid system (implemented in Drupal 6 using the Clean base theme). Grids are very helpful: They allow layouts to be created quickly; they allow elements to be fit into layouts easily; they keep dimensions consistent; they look clean. But they have a major drawback that always bothered me: the grid-X classes that determine an element's width are in the HTML. That mixes up markup/content and layout/style, which should ideally be completely separated between the HTML and CSS.
The rigidity of an in-markup grid becomes especially apparent when trying to implement "responsive" design principles. I'm not a designer, but the basic idea of responsive design for the web, as I understand it, is that a site's layout should adapt automagically to the device it's viewed in. For a nice mobile experience, for example, rather than create a separate mobile site - which I always thought was a poor use of resources, duplicating the content-generating backend - the same HTML can be used with @media queries in the CSS to make the layout look "native".
(I've put together some useful links on Responsive Design and @media queries using Delicious. The best implementation of a responsive layout that I've seen is on the site of FourKitchens.)
Besides the 960 grid, I was using LessCSS to generate my styles: it supports variables, mix-ins, nested styles, etc; it generally makes stylesheet coding much more intuitive. So for a while the thought simmered, why not move the static 960 grid into Less (using mixins), and apply the equivalent of grid-X classes directly in the CSS? Then I read this article in Smashing on The Semantic Grid System, which prescribed pretty much the same thing - using Less with a library called Semantic.gs - and I realized it was time to actually make it happen.
To make the transition, I forked semantic.gs and made some modifications: I added .alpha and .omega mixins (to cancel out side margins); for nested styles, I ditched semantic.gs's .row() approach (which seems to be buggy anyway) and created a .nested-column mixin instead. I added clear:both to the .clearfix mixin (seemed to make sense, though maybe there was a reason it wasn't already in).
To maintain the 960.gs dimensions and classes (as an intermediary step), I made a transitional-960gs.less stylesheet with these rules: @columns: 16; @column-width: 40; @gutter-width: 20;. Then I made equivalents of the .grid_X classes (as Clean's implementation had them) with an s_ prefix:
@columns: 16; @column-width: 40; @gutter-width: 20;
.s_container, .s_container_16 {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: @total-width;
.s_grid_1 {
.s_grid_2 {
.s_grid_16 {
The s_grid_X classes were purely transitional: they allowed me to do a search-and-replace from grid_ to s_grid_ and remove the 960.gs stylesheet, before migrating all the styles into semantic equivalents. Once that was done, the s_grid_ classes could be removed.
960.gs and semantic.gs also implement their columns a little differently, one with padding and the other with margins, so what was actually a 1000px-wide layout with 960.gs became a 960px layout with semantic.gs. To compensate for this, I made a wrapper mixin applied to all the top-level wrappers:
.wide-wrapper {
padding-right: 20px;
padding-left: 20px;
With the groundwork laid, I went through all the grid_/s_grid_ classes in use and replaced them with purely in-CSS semantic mixins. So if a block had a grid class before, now it only had a semantic ID or class, with the grid mixins applied to that selector.
Once the primary layout was replicated, I could make it "respond" to @media queries, using a responsive.less sheet. For example:
/* iPad in portrait, or any screen below 1000px */
@media only screen and (max-device-width: 1024px) and (orientation: portrait), screen and (max-width: 999px) {
/* very narrow browser, or iPhone -- note that <1000px styles above will apply here too!
note: iPhone in portrait is 320px wide, in landscape is 480px wide */
@media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px), only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2), screen and (max-width: 499px) {
/* iPhone - portrait */
@media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) and (max-width: 320px) {
Some vitals tools for the process:
Drupal.behaviors.viewportSize = function() {
if (!$('#viewport-size').size()) return;
Drupal.fillViewportSize = function() {
$('#viewport-size').text( $(window).width() + 'x' + $(window).height() )
.css('top', $('#admin-menu').height());
$(window).bind('resize', function(event){
After three days of work, the layout is now entirely semantic, and the 960.gs stylesheet is gone. On a wide-screen monitor it looks exactly the same as before, but it now adapts to narrower screen sizes (you can see this by shrinking the window's width), and has special styles for iPad and iPhone (portrait and landscape), and was confirmed to work on a popular Android tablet. It'll be a continuing work in progress, but the experience is now much better on small devices, and the groundwork is laid for future tweaks or redesigns.
There are some downsides to this approach worth considering:
To mitigate these and modify the actual content on mobile devices - to reduce the performance overhead, load smaller images, or put less HTML on the page - would probably require backend modifications that detect the user agent (perhaps using Browscap). I've been avoiding that approach until now, but with most of the work done on the CSS side, a hybrid backend solution is probably the next logical step. (For the images, Responsive Images could also help on the client side.)
See the new layout at work, and my links on responsive design. I'm curious to hear what other people do to solve these issues.
Added: It appears the javascript analog to media queries is media query lists, which are event-able. And here's an approach with media queries and CSS transition events.

The quartet beat second-place La Salle, which was clocked in 8:56.83.
The JMU team's time was the eighth-fastest in school history. It was the third-fastest qualifying time in Saturday's two preliminary heats behind Princeton's 8:49.56 and Fordham's 8:49.62.
Senior Marissa McDonald (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin East) placed seventh in the long jump with a leap of 5.75 meters (18'10 1/2"). Hampton's Teiara Denmark won the competition with a jump of 6.07 meters (19'11").

Glaxo Smith has been fined three billion dollars for falsely advertising its products to customers for whom there is no help and actually could kill them. Yes, this company had lavish parties and trips for physicians to convince them to sell their products [prescribe them] to children, though there was no licensure to sell them to younger patients. In fact, some of the targeted audience could actually be severely harmed or even killed when using them. This is but a tiny fraction of the abuses that are rising rapidly in the greed-filled universe of capitalism.
Free enterprise is wonderful. Free enterprise helped build the fortunes and lifestyles of successful Western World nations and cultures. That being stated, free enterprise has had to be penalized and held in check many times since the Industrial Revolution. Child labor abuses, unfair labor practices, products harming or killing people, destruction of the environment, ad infinitum, have all been a mark of unbridled capitalism.

Long Division
The changes that have come to this country in the past few years seem unbelievable. We have become more polarized politically than perhaps any other time in US history. We spend five or six years pleading for us to come together. That time has ended. Whether it's hopeless or not, we now stand to be hopelessly and helplessly divided. Welcome to the new era of the United States.
Last week's Supreme Court decision on the state of Obamacare cemented our divisions. On one side are the people who believe that health care is a right. Cost is not a factor when it comes to saving lives. We must do what is morally right or even what's in the Bible. And what comes to paying for this, who cares? Ill come from the rich, will come from the middle class. It may become from the poor. It would be borrowed money. Who knows? Who cares?
It's wonderful to be able to openly express one's patriotism. Not enough citizens do so. They should be ashamed. Show the flag! Wear a flag pin on your lapel! Show the flag around your home! Stand proudly when the flag is presented! Sing along when the National Anthem is played!
Be proud of our national heritage! Pay tribute to our Fallen Heroes! Recognize the threat we have from foreign nations and peoples! Be proud of your religion! Teach your kids to be loyal patriots! Support budget items for the military! Don't waste government money on frivilous items! Speak loudly in support of math, science, and business courses! Keep a lid on budgetary items for marginal things like the arts! Watch your neighbor's national loyalty! No welfare slackers, work for a living!
TEA PARTY "Patriots"
Oh, how patriotic are those Tea Party Republicans. How quick they are to join in the celebration of our military veterans ..............as long as they're Republicans, and the "right kind" of Republicans.
The sham of the Tea Party patriots was clearly unmasked in the heated Illinois fight for Congress between Congressman Joe Walsh and Democrat Tammy Duckworth. A woman who is a Democrat running against a man who is a Tea Party Republican. She is a proud candidate, he is a sexist double-talker.
Global Warming Ruins Summer
We certainly can't take this opportunity to waste a long hot summer with few days of rain without mentioning our global warming is going to make something like mild winters and storm free summers and turn it into something terrible. This is something to be feared.
My lawn started turning brown in May this year. Earlier than it ever has before. I spend my nights and weekends moving sprinklers around. We see storms and floods all around us and come to the one singularity that caused it all-global warming.
It is difficult to narrow down a wide variety of people and their beliefs because platforms can be somewhat complex, and they do not represent all of the people being categorized. This is further complicated by people being totally unaware of their own beliefs, or in denial about what motivates their strongly-held feelings.
Nevertheless, I shall try. Please remember I am announcing in advance that this does not include all people who lean to the conservative side of the political ledger, but is perhaps more represenative of the new right, the tea-party types, the new fascism, the more extremist viewpoints that have taken over the Republican Party in the U.S. But just as bigots have always done, they will deny these characterizations. Deny away.
Finally! Finally a nationally syndicated columnist, Richard Cohen, got it right. Finally I find someone who recognizes the truth about Obama and about liberals and about liberalism. Whew! What took so long?
In his column "The liberal Obama that never was," published nationally on July 12, 2012, Richard Cohen writes as follows:
Two awesome programs next week!
We will have a couple of awesome programs next week! We hope you stop in for them!
Tuesday July 17th at 6:00 PM - Glen Gerard! He's a hilarious magician, who will have you gasping in awe and laughing out loud.
Wednesday July 18th at 6:00 PM - The classic film "Ghostbusters"!
Why Would You Do It?
I sometimes wonder how anyone could think of voting for Barack Obama in the upcoming November election. With that economy looming, liberals, Democrats, and water carriers are all spewing the same talking points again and again. What sets the question, what are Americans supposed to? Are we supposed to accept 8% unemployment as normal? Is 1% growth in GDP now considered to be great? Is the tax system that is already burdensome supposed to be considered too low?
Let's see if we're better off than we were four years ago. The financial crisis just beginning, President George Bush and Congress enacted TARP to prevent the economy from falling off a cliff. The money was to be paid back. As banks paid back the money, the Obama administration had taken over by that time, used it to spend on their own crony capitalist projects. In return, we got a stimulus bill that did not stimulate, a healthcare bill that is going to accelerate bankruptcy of this country and other jobs bills that went nowhere.
Oh, poor Mitt Romney! All those questions about his background. All those personal questions. Give poor Mitt a break and lay off of him. Poor guy. Let's all move to lying and criticizing and asking questions about Barack Obama instead.
When you ask if Mitt Romney has any assets that he is hiding in tax shelters or other things that give him a great leg-up on ordinary Americans, that is unfair!?!
Tonight! Magician Glen Gerard!
Tonight at 6:00 PM! Glen Gerard!
Hilariously funny magician Glen Gerard will be performing his magic act tonight at the Brown Deer Library. Be prepared to laugh out loud, and gasp in awe. And what magic act isn't complete without a live rabbit?
While we all suffer through the agonizing and anti-intellectual drama known as the presidential election cycle, I have to wonder who is more uncomfortable with Mitt Romney, Democrats or Republicans?
It is one thing to try and erase Romneycare from Mitt's background so Democrats don't use it in the election, but it is quite anorther to try and erase it from the minds of frantic and desperate tea-partiers and extreme right-wingers. After all, the cornerstone of the Obama administration, health care reform, was forged to a great extent from what Governor Romney proposed and got sanctioned in Massachusetts. And not only that, but Romneycare/Obamacare is extremely popular and successful in Massachusetts. Wow, how [and why?] would any honest candidate try to distance himself or herself from success like that? Awkward.
Tonight! Ghostbusters!
Tonight at 6:00 PM! Teen Movie Night!
We will be watching the classic film "Ghostbusters"!
Everyone is welcome!
Tons of Fun Programs Next Week!
We have a full week of programs coming up!
Tuesday July 24th at 6:00 PM - We will be watching the film "John Carter"
Wednesday July 25th from 6:00-7:00 PM - Family Bingo Night
Tomorrow! John Carter!
Tomorrow night is a movie night!
We will be watching "John Carter" beginning at 6:00 PM.
This movie is PG-13, so children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult.
New Traffic Control Signs in the Village
The Village of Brown Deer recently approved the speed limit change from 35 miles per hour to 30 miles per hour on N. 60th St., from W. County Line Rd until W. Bradley Rd. This change has gone into effect as the new 30 mile per hour speed limit signs are erected, accompanied with orange flags.
Consolidated Police Dispatch Services
The Brown Deer Police Department has now turned dispatching operations over to the new Bayside Communications Center as of January 1, 2012. The Center dispatches for the North Shore Fire Department, and all seven North Shore Communities which includes the Brown Deer Police Department. The Brown Deer Police Department continues to provide 24 hour a day police services. The hours to the Brown Deer Police Department front office are: Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and is staffed by two full-time employees to serve the public. When the office is closed, including weekends and public holidays, access to the Police Department and service to the public is continually supported by the Bayside Communications Center. Visitors during hours when the reception office to the Brown Deer Police Department is closed are always able to communicate with an officer through an intercom and door access switch connection at Village Hall main entrance. Important phone numbers to note when requesting police services for the Village of Brown Deer:
During the summer months people will be enjoying the outdoors with their pets. The Village of Brown Deer Police Department would like to take this opportunity to remind residents about the laws regulating pets outdoors both on your property and when taking them for walks.
Village of Brown Deer Ordinance (6-4) regulates "Animals at Large". As it is defined in the Village Ordinance an "Animal at Large" means that an animal is off the premises of its owner and not on a leash or otherwise under the immediate control of a person capable of restraining the animal. If an owner of an animal is found to have allowed their pet to become at large they may be subject to a fine of $240.00. Pet owners should keep in mind this ordinance applies to cats as well as dogs and all other domesticated animals.

Here's how RW members rated this race (460 votes).
In short: This year with extra miles, climbs and painIn full: Barking mad, this is. The national anthem, a bagpiper and the biggest climbs and descents outside the Alps. A cheerful race director and host in Dr Rob. Add 50 per cent to your normal half marathon time, only this year there was an extra bit so it was 16 miles - an ultra half so close to double your normal half mara time. But plenty of good running terrain between the huge ups and downs. Great fun, great supportive atmosphere, trashes your legs for a week afterwards. Oh, and a huge medal. Organization like clockwork. Top event.Date of review: June 23, 2012
In short: Epic run, thoroughly recommended. Not to be missedIn full: This was truly enjoyable. Its a tough route, but very well organised and very enjoyable if you pace yourself. Dr Rob organised a guided run through of the course about 2 weeks before, for anyone wanting to do this - this is a really good idea, very helpful to get some familiarity with the terrain.Run the slopes, walk the steps. There are a lot of steps in a couple of places.The feeling of running down that final long grassy slope to the finish makes it all worthwhile.I am looking forward to next year!Date of review: August 23, 2011
In short: Tough, tough, tough...fun,fun,funDate of review: August 3, 2011
In short: As tough as everIn full: It never gets any easier yet I keep coming back. 3rd year in a row, 3 mins off the PB, and the first year I've had to wade across the stepping stones. To those runners who did it for the first time - the ground is normally a lot dryer and less slippery underfoot so don't let that put you off trying again.Date of review: July 5, 2011
In short: Enjoyable madnessIn full: A mental and physical challenge. On the physical side the slippery steps and stepping stones under water added an extra frisson. On the mental side, delirium was setting in near the end as I ploughed on past a clear "No" on the floor unable to comprehend what it was saying to me. An excellent race, brilliantly organised. I am however (2 weeks later) still recovering from it even despite the sports massage a couple of days after the race.Date of review: July 3, 2011
In short: Once again Dr. Rob et al put on a top eventIn full: The midsummer munro is no exception to the Trionium series. A tough race in beautiful surroundings, well run, friendly and leaves you with a sense of achievement and burning thighs for weeks after.Date of review: June 22, 2011
In short: still buzzing days after the raceDate of review: June 21, 2011
In short: A highlight of the yearIn full: A great race - it is Tuesday and I'm still limping. Hats off to the Picnic contestantsDate of review: June 21, 2011
In short: flawless organisation, super friendly, great experienceIn full: One of the hardest races in the UK yet the friendliest I've done. Wonderfully friendly atmosphere for this really hard hilly half. Constant support from the friendliest marshals even seen in a race, the few but all hyper-supportive spectators and even other runners create a such heart warming atmosphere that the event becomes unforgettable. Support indeed helped tackle brutal slopes and vertical flights of stairs.Perfect organisation by the much-loved Dr Rob (and he deserves the love). Absolutely delicious cakes by Liz at the finish. Excellent goodie bag (no crap samples like other races - we're talking a fine mug and a very fine technical t-shirt here). Value blows away the more commercial races.Thanks again Dr Rob!Date of review: June 21, 2011
In short: Every year the same 'never again' so here's looking forward to 2012. Ace organisation, marshaling, atmosphere and warm glow once it's all over. Again many thanks Dr Rob.Date of review: June 20, 2011

ADA News
Dental practices disrupted by storm
Teaneck, N.J.—When the Bergen County Dental Society executive committee convened Aug. 30, four of eight attendees reported practice interference visited by Hurricane Irene, three without power and his water-logged, said Dr. Frank Graham. "I happen to be on the highest ground in town but the water level was so high that mine was flooded."
Foundation grants available for victims of disaster
In the wake of Hurricane Irene, the ADA Foundation reminds dentists and organizations of its Disaster Assistance Grant Program.
The program was designed to provide assistance to those members of the dental profession who have lost property in a declared disaster and to support provision of emergency dental care in areas affected by disasters.
The ADA Foundation provides disaster grants in the following areas:
To fill out a grant application, visit www.ada.org/sections/about/pdfs/disaster_application.pdf.
For more information about the ADA Foundation, visit www.adafoundation.org.
A list of ADA disaster recovery resources is also posted on ADA.org here: www.ada.org/disasterrecovery.aspx.
The East Coast was cleaning up after Hurricane Irene raked the eastern seaboard hard on the heels of a 5.8-magnitude earthquake in the mid-Atlantic region. The American Dental Association's East Coast employees reported to work Aug. 29 in sunshine and calm after a weekend of wind and rain. Business continued without interruption at the ADA Washington Office and the ADA Foundation Paffenbarger Research Center in Gaithersburg, Md., each with some 20 employees.
One ADAF-PRC experiment, a study of the causes of secondary caries with a pump system that mimics the mouth, was disrupted without negative effect when Irene knocked out power at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, where ADA scientists conduct dental materials research. "I've heard of no damage. It's just a different Monday morning," said Clifton Carey, Ph.D., ADAF-PRC director of independent research and grants administrator. "The message here is that we were prepared."
As for the experiment, "We lost no data," and the study resumed with the restoration of power.
ADA members affected by Hurricane Irene can find a list of resources on ADA.org's Disaster Recovery page.

Guillain-Barre (ghee-YA-buh-RAY) syndrome is a disorder in which your body's immune system attacks your nerves. Weakness and tingling in your extremities are usually the first symptoms. These sensations can quickly spread, eventually paralyzing your whole body. In its most severe form, Guillain-Barre syndrome is a medical emergency requiring hospitalization.
The exact cause of Guillain-Barre syndrome is unknown, but it is often preceded by an infectious illness such as a respiratory infection or the stomach flu. Luckily, Guillain-Barre syndrome is uncommon, affecting only 1 or 2 people per 100,000.
There's no known cure for Guillain-Barre syndrome, but several treatments can ease symptoms and reduce the duration of the illness. Most people recover from Guillain-Barre syndrome, though some may experience lingering effects from it, such as weakness, numbness or fatigue.

Memo to the California GOP:
Rough couple of weeks, huh?
First you found out that the number of registered Republicans in California has dipped below 30%, which means we are fast approaching the day when the entire state membership can fit into two golf carts.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
To make matters worse, of the 1 million people who used a new online voter registration system this election cycle, only 20% registered as Republicans. And 60% of those who registered were under 35, which means your future's not looking great.
Then the dominoes really started to fall.
Gov. Brown's Proposition 30, the first general, statewide tax hike in two decades, passed so easily that the ghost of Howard Jarvis threw himself in front of a truck.
Proposition 32, an all-out attempt to defang public employee unions, got pummeled despite an infusion of last-minute anti-labor cash from Arizona.
What could be worse? I'll tell you what. In the state Legislature, Democrats won supermajorities in both houses. Do you know what that means? It's like handing your teenager a credit card, a checkbook and the car keys so he can drive to an all-night orgy.
Meanwhile, on the national front, two states said yes to recreational marijuana and three states said yes to same-sex marriage. And Mitt Romney proved that when your only loyal supporters are aging white men who still drive Buicks and watch "Matlock" reruns — in a country with an ever more diverse population — you're cooked.
It was a wipeout, a blitz, a disaster.
So now what?
Glad you asked, because as it happens, I've got some advice for the leaders and members of the California's shrinking Grand Old Party.
Your first option is to cut and run. Frankly, I regularly hear from Republicans who so despise California and everything it stands for, I'm surprised they keep subjecting themselves to so much misery. Wouldn't it be better to sell everything, pack up the station wagon and move to Georgia or Kentucky? They think, act and vote red in those states, and they probably hate California at least as much as you do.
But here's another option. You could sit tight here in the Golden State, wait for the Democrats to screw things up in Sacramento even more than they already have, and then raise your hand when the situation cries out for the voice of fiscal prudence.
The first thing you're going to have to do, though, is remake the GOP. And by that I mean that you have to get rid of the Neanderthals who dominate the party. Then you need to start grooming and promoting some common-sense fiscal moderates, provided you can locate any.
What do I mean by that?
If someone believes Barack Obama is a socialist, Communist, Marxist, Muslim, radical, black liberation theologian, non-citizen, illegitimate president or Manchurian Candidate, forget about him. He may have a shot at a career in talk radio, but he's not going to make it in California politics.
And you're not going to breathe new life into the GOP with someone who believes the answer to the state's problems is to deport a couple million Latinos, unless they're working in the garden at extremely low rates.
You should also nix anyone who believes that gay people have chosen a "lifestyle" in the way they might choose toothpaste or a pair of shoes, and can be "converted" with enough hard work and Bible study.
I know, I know. We're really thinning the field here. And I'm not even done.
