Skip to comments.California Junior High Principal Apologizes For Not Warning Parents About Pro-Homosexual Program
Posted on 12/03/2009 12:25:32 PM PST by Sopater
The principal and a teacher at Goleta Valley Junior High School in Santa Barbara County, California are apologizing to parents for not following school district policy relating to a pro-homosexual workshop given to 8th grade students in a leadership class at the school.
The controversial workshop was presented by Just Communities Central Coast in three, 45-minute sessions over three days. It included handouts defining homosexual terminology, including queer and transgender, and listed heterosexism as oppression that pushes down people who are LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and questioning) and pushes up people who are straight.
The handout defines sexual orientation this way: Refers to who we feel romantically and sexually attracted to and who we fall in love with.
One page featuring cartoon-like figures and entitled Gender & Sexuality Definitions: A Visual Map, depicts a person's body with the heart area labeled as sexual orientation and the genital area labeled as sex.
A page entitled Heterosexism asks students to answer a three-part question: How are LGBTQ people discriminated against or mistreated in the United States, in your local community and in your school?

Bull sh!t, He knew what he was doing. Any parent who falls for his crap, is an idiot.
My my...for those seeking 'acceptance' they do love to adopt new varieties all the time....they'll soon run out of letters in the alphabet.
Here is an idea. Sue them as if he was distributing pornography to the students. Bring in physchologists who believe the children were damaged by the teachers actions. Play the game the left has played and don't back down till they fire the principal.

AGREED! SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much easier to ask for forgiveness than permission......especially in this case. They achieved exactly what they intended.
So sick of this social indoctrination crap..
another load of $h!t from the bowels of the NEA.....
So many schools no longer educate, they just indoctrinate.
Queer nation, how many screwups are allowed?
But, but, but the proponents of Prop 8 lied when they said homosexuality would be taught to our children.
I like it. I like it a lot.
ARTH post
How did they label the tail end of the digestive system?

If the population would just become more homosexual we could have less useless breathers destroying the planet, doncha know. This is the key to understanding the love affair between corporate media, gays, public educators, and the radical greens.
It takes a generation to reshape a society.
utter crap
they knew exactly what they were doing and the principle should be fired along with the teacher which showed this perverted crap
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
many parents now should sue in court for the damage their kids had to endure and how they perceive life for the future
the left have been suing for years and now it is high time to do the same to them and see how they like it.
sue their arse off and see if any other schools will want to push this agenda
here's a novel idea
how about teaching the real facts behind the history of America.
They just might understand the real meaning behind the 4th of July, the war where over half million lost their lives and the supposed reconstruction after it
then there is geography, Math, English and how about PE too.
They knew EXACTLY what they were dong by showing this and as another poster said
sue them for the damage the child endured
sue the school the schools area and get get the teacher fired
Some months back I read a very wise, very revealing comment here on FreeRepublic regarding the teaching of homosexuality in schools. The Freeper wrote:
"There's only one reason adults want to teach children about homosexuality".
I have never forgotten that and have used it often when debating this topic with liberal friends. It usually stops them dead in their tracks.
Enough is enough!!! We don't care about the homosexual life style nor their sexual orientation or the ways they achieve their filthy orgasms and that the ingestation of fecal matter is part of it. We don't care that they are different.
Government schools are more focused on teaching sexual oriention and how to study for the test every year so the school can receive the Fed dollars. Teaching went out the window...now it's all about "money, Diversity,ect..." anything but teaching.
This is the dumbing down of America. No wonder our kids are confused,.... we've lost our priorities to the new social order! Do we all feel equally crappy yet?
Busy today? Maybe next time you could ping the actual list. ;-)
Too little, too late. ALL these schools that teach this to innocent children are a DISGRACE!
Yeah, kind of preoccupied and hurrying to get it in before heading out the door.
What was this in place of? Algebra? Earth science? Literature? Civics? American History?
Maybe they offered it during lunch — gag.
Um, what's a pyhschologist????? I know what a psychologist is. I've never heard of a pyhschologist.
As a matter of fact yes - and people point it out to me. However, I don't ack like a baby when it happens. You need to grow a pair buddy.

From Our Editors
Visitors who pass by the prominent stone fountain in The Skin Suite's lobby can be forgiven for momentarily wondering if they've found the fountain of youth. That's because owner Kimbra, an aesthetician and laser technician with more than a decade of aesthetic experience, has assembled a skincare lineup heavy on advanced anti-aging treatments. During microdermabrasion sessions, she uses a DiamondTome skin-resurfacing system to exfoliate skin and reveal the healthy complexion beneath the surface. She also incorporates DermaQuest Skin Therapy and Tizo3 Protection products into four types of salicylic- and glycolic-acid chemical peels and five types of facials, one of which uses seasonal ingredients and natural fruit enzymes to leave skin smoother than a velveteen rabbit in a smoking jacket. For an extra edge in the fight against Father Time, Kimbra turns to resurfacing tools such as dermaplaning blades and microrollers.

Pistorius, who made history this summer when he became the first Paralympian to run in the Olympic Games, lost out on gold to Oliveira by 0.07 seconds, but blamed his defeat on his rivals' legs.
"We're not running in a fair race," he said. "I can't compete with Alan's stride length."
Pistorius has now apologised, and the IPC have confirmed that he will not face any disciplinary action despite only saying sorry for the timing of his comments, rather than the substance of his complaint.
But why exactly does Pistorius believe that his Brazilian rival had an unfair advantage? Our Q&A explains why.
- - -
What is Pistorius's complaint?
The South African believes that Oliveira's blades are too long, giving him an unfair advantage by letting him take longer strides. This was mainly sparked by Oliveira's decision to change to longer blades three weeks before the Olympics, something which helped him shave a second off his personal best.
Is it true? Was Oliveira breaking any rules?
No. The International Paralympic Committee has confirmed that Oliveira's blades were well within the regulations.
What are those regulations?
The length of runners' blades are subject to calculations based on the runners' predicted height if they had legs.
That predicted height is based on the average of two measurements, one based on arm span and the other based on an elbow-to-fingertip measurement. This predicted height is then increased by 2.5 per cent (to allow for the 'on toes' running style used by sprinters) to give each runner a maximum height in their blades.
So what is Oliveira's height in his blades?
Oliveira is allowed to run in blades that make him up to 184.5cm. His actual height on his blades is well within that, at 181cm, while on his 'everyday blades' he stands just below that at 177cm.
And Pistorius?
The South African star is a few centimetres taller, and is therefore is allowed blades that would make him 193.5cm. In his running blades he actually stands at 184cm, the same length he is on his everyday blades.
Pistorius's blades (left) and Oliveira's (right). Note the different design that accentuates different length.
So Oliveira's blades are longer? Wouldn't that make it easier for him?
Yes, but well within the rules, but blade length is not a black-and-white issue. Scientists have discovered that shorter blades give athletes an advantage in the start but are a disadvantage in the closing stages of a race. "Oliveira is basically banking on having a stronger finish, and that's exactly what happened. Both of them will know this," prosthetics expert Bruce Dyer of Bournemouth University told Channel 4. "You can't have a strong start and finish. It's one or the other, and it looks like Pistorius backed the wrong horse."
What about his argument that the stride length makes the difference?
Oliveira actually took 98 strides to win the 200m, while Pistorius had 92 strides.
In addition Sheffield Hallam University's Steve Haake told that Reuters that Pistorius needs to speak more carefully, considering his own long battle to be allowed to compete against able-bodied athletes. "If he is saying 'if you lengthen your legs you are at an advantage' he blows his argument out of the water that he gains no advantage over able-bodied athletes by using prosthetics. He can't have it both ways."
So is it all sour grapes, then?
It seems so. After all, Pistorius ran 21.30 seconds in the heats, a time which would have seen him win gold comfortably, since Oliveira's winning run was 21.46. Pistorius was unable to reproduce his earlier form in the final.
As British Paralympian Arthur Williams wrote in The Guardian, "I wasn't completely surprised that Oscar lost. In the build-up to these Paralympics the T44 100m and 200m have become the most competitive they have ever been."
Will Pistorius change to longer blades?
Theoretically he can, but it would mean using different blades in able-bodied competition compared to Paralympic competition since he is already at the maximum the IAAF will allow. His current blades (which are basically the same as he has worn since 1997) and his insistence that his success is down to dedication and training are an integral part of his image. That image is intrinsically linked to his huge financial success - he is a millionaire several times over - and therefore it is highly unlikely that he would want to change.

Ahead of his fight with Ross Pearson at the TUF 23 finale in Las Vegas, the former Bellator lightweight champion spoke to Tony Reid.
Early on in your career you were singularly focused on Bellator and the lightweight title. Over time the writing was on the wall that you might be considering leaving Bellator for a larger stage in the sport. Was there a single moment when you knew you were leaving Bellator?
"I felt it in my body and in my spirit the way everything was happening around me, I knew it was time to pursue that next goal. I put all my energy into what I was doing with Bellator. I accomplished the goal I set there. I wanted to become the champion, defend my title a few times and move on with my career. I have always been very committed to setting goals for myself, completing those and moving on the next one. I knew it was time to make the move."
Many goal setters find themselves bored after achieving certain goals. Was there a part of you that was bored in Bellator?
"There was a little bit of boredom. It was partly just me wanting to move on and continue to beat everyone in the lightweight division in Mixed Martial Arts period. How do you do that when many of the lightweights are in different organizations? Who has the best crop of lightweights that I can go in there and try to knock them off one by one? The answer is the UFC, of course."
There was a point in time where you were in limbo with Bellator. There were moves being made in the lightweight division and it looked, on the surface, like you weren't a part of that. What was it like behind the scenes for you during that time?
"It was frustrating at the time and even more so toward the end when I was getting impatient. I was ready to compete. I was 100% healthy mentally and physically. I had to step back and realize I had a lot of things going on in my personal life at the time. I took that time and used it wisely. I was going through a lot of life changes. My fiancé and I were planning a wedding. She was pregnant at the time. Then my baby girl was born. I was getting used to being a father. I had to realize what my most important priorities were at that time. That was being the best new father and fiancé that I could be. I put all my energy there. I put the MMA stuff on the backburner and focused on my personal life."
That's a lot for anyone to take on at one time. How crazy did it get?
"It got a little crazy there but at the same time I have always lived a pretty chaotic lifestyle. Most things haven't gone in a straight line for me. It has been a lot of ups and downs, twists and turns. I have had to figure out things on the fly. I have been good at adapting and taking on a large workload. My fiancé and I work well as a team. She makes things a lot easier for me to focus. It's just like a tennis match. We bounce the ball back and forth and keep working it out."
When did you know that you were officially a UFC fighter?
"Based on my relationship with the previous organization I had to wait to get into negotiations with the UFC. The day was June 15th. The night before my manager said to buckle my seatbelt. It was going to go quickly once we were free and clear to negotiate. We wanted to get it done as quickly as possible but we also wanted to listen to all offers. We were going over all emails, calls and other offers. He asked me what I wanted to do. It was clear I wanted to sign with the UFC so we got to work on that deal."

After Hiding Under Desk, Student Wants Gun to Protect Self and Others
(p. A1) ROSEBURG, Ore. -- A week has passed since J. J. Vicari huddled underneath a desk while gunshots exploded in the classroom next door. Now he is thinking about guns. Not about tightening gun laws, as President Obama urged after nine people were killed at the community college here. But about buying one for himself.
"It's opened my eyes," said Mr. Vicari, 19. "I want to have a gun in the house to protect myself, to protect the people I'm with. I'm sure I'll have a normal life and never have to go through anything like this, but I want to be sure."

Are you sure? :D I was skinny as hell before. Gained about 8-9kg in two months. I don't think I could have done a lot more.
I think I was eating quite right also. :(
Super awesome work! Keep it up! :)

As long as they can use sex as their secret weapon.
There's some hot stuff with a dark-haired honey (with these Euro gals, it's tough to match up names to faces. Suffice to say that they're gorgeous) and a stud that includes some fab ass action involving a dildo. Dig the scene in the mud, where the commando chicks get boffed with slathered with grime. Talk about dirty sex.

Cast: Jessica Bangkok, Lily LaBeau, Gabriella Paltrova, Valentina Nappi, London Keyes, Eve Evans, Sheena Shaw, Karmen Karma, Allie Haze, Eden Alexander, Gaia, Romi Rain, Jonni Darkko, Vicki Chase, Jayden Lee, Bonnie Rotten, Jovan Jordan
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Oral
Obsessive pornographer Jonni Darkko takes his love of glamorous sluts and explicit blowjobs to the ultimate extreme in the massive, messy two-disc slurpfest "Sloppy Head 5." The veteran director captures a dozen wet, filthy oral encounters in vivid, POV-style camerawork. When it comes to giving head, Jonni's girls don't feel a sense of accomplishment unless they've slathered themselves and their man's junk with a dripping layer of sloppy spit and bubbly lube. Drenched in liters of bubbly saliva, they top off their slobbery fun with hot, creamy cum facials!
The operative word in this huge assortment of blowjobs is sloppy—as in liquid, especially spit, all over the place in huge quantities. A few of the girls also go that extra second mile—like Bonnie Rotten squirting and Sheena Shaw shoving a toy up her ass—but this is mainly oral. This is also somewhat of an ethnic smorgasbord of cock suckers with a wide variety of backgrounds—and all, in POV fashion, are centered on Jonni Darkko, Jovan Jordan and Darkko's fondness for sloppy oral and very, very messy facial finishes.

I love the Sharpwriter pencil from Paper Mate, but it's very skinny and hurts my hands after writing a lot. I could buy a gripper but where is the fun in that? So I made one.
The Sharpwriter pencil is that one-time-use mechanical pencil that pretty much everyone has used before. So we probably all know that it is very skinny and can hurt your hand if you write with it for long periods of time. I am going to show you a quick and easy way to make a gripper for this pencil.
The tube will not normally fit over the pencil. To make it more pliable, dip a 1-inch section of hose into the hot water. I didn't want to get burned so I got it out with tongs.

Interview with the Vampire
by Anne Rice
Interview with the Vampire Introduction
In a Nutshell
Take a look around you: vampires are everywhere! Wait, wait, don't get alarmed. We don't mean in your closet, or under your bed. We mean on bookshelves, on your TV, in movie theaters, in video games… you know, everywhere. Now that we think about it, maybe you should check inside your closet. Just to be safe.
You might think we have Stephenie Meyer to blame for the new wave of vampires: brooding, sensitive, positively sparkling. (Did we say to blame? We mean to thank. Thanks, Steph!) But a different literary lady is responsible for the initial surge in vampire popularity, and that lady is Anne Rice.
In 1976, Interview with the Vampire reinvented the vampire novel. Anne Rice took the classic Dracula-influenced vampire myth—you know, that myth about vampires as scary soulless hunters with no conscience and a never-ending hunger for blood—and dragged it out into the sun to fry. (source) From the ashes, she built a new vampire, one who was self-conscious, who was conflicted, and one who, yes, dressed like a teenaged Goth.
Interview with the Vampire stars Louis de Pointe du Lac, the broodiest of broody vampires (take that, Angel). As he tells his tale, he reveals the eternal inner torment of a vampire forced to live with Lestat, his overbearing creator, and Claudia, a five-year-old vampire, who is a woman trapped in a child's body forever. Immortality has never looked so unappealing.
Rice has followed Louis, Lestat and others throughout her long-running Vampire Chronicles series, which concluded with a tenth book, Blood Canticle, in 2003. Interview was adapted to the big screen in 1994 with big stars like Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Kirsten Dunst, and since then, Rice has branched out to write about mummies, angels, castrated opera singers, and Jesus—just to name a few of her subjects. In 2011, she made the jump from vampires to werewolves with her most recent series of novels: The Wolf Gift Chronicles.
Any of Anne Rice's People of the Page—that's what she calls her fans—will tell you that Anne is just as relevant today as she was in the groovy 70s. Don't disagree with them, because Anne might sic them on you (source). We think they're right. Vampires might not exist today without her. You'll have to Interview the vampire yourself to find out what it's all about.
Why Should I Care?
You should know how many fictional characters might not exist it if were not for Anne Rice: Edward Cullen. Angel and Spike. Bill and Eric. Jean-Claude. Damon and Stefan Salvatore. If we had the eternal life of a vampire, we still might not be able to list them all. They all owe their existence to Louis and Lestat.
Interview with the Vampire was a revolutionary book when it came out in 1976. It's like The Jungle of vampire novels. Upton Sinclair forced people to rethink the meatpacking industry. Anne Rice forced us to rethink a centuries-old vampire myth. Pressing social issue? Maybe not, but it sure is loads more fun.
It's also worth noting that E.L. James of Fifty Shades infamy didn't revolutionize the erotica genre either: Anne Rice did it first, with her Sleeping Beauty trilogy. Some of that steaminess overflows into the Vampire Chronicles as well. This woman is a pioneer, so return your wimpy 21st-century vampires to their coffins where they belong, grab a copy of Interview with the Vampire, and see where it all started.

Does this game get good?

"Does this game get good?" Bluntly (but honestly) not really. I'm a big fan of Silent Hill, and games of a similar type but when it came to Downpour I was just wanting to be done with it by the radio station. Some of it is great, I love the outside area and the heavy rain but it hardly evens out the negatives. Every area I went to I couldn't wait to leave. The combat is so bad, the frame rate problems although it only happened occasionally were irritating. There had been the odd glitch, I experienced the door one also. I just finished my hard playthrough going through as quickly as I can, my end playtime was 2 hours 46 mins. Just one more playthrough to get my full gamescore but when I do think of Silent Hill, Downpour certainly won't come into my thoughts. Thankfully I bought the HD collection also so that will win me back over after this game gets shelved.

What Can You Say? Folks Love Turtles
There's a run on turtle puns and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle references this morning as we settle into a reality where a new adaptation of the old franchise took in $65 million in domestic box office this weekend. Although it's nowhere near Guardians Of The Galaxy's opening a week ago (more like $94 million), it was good enough to kick Chris Pratt and friends out of first place by much more than a hare. (Don't get up, I'll fire myself.)
According to Box Office Mojo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' CinemaScore (the rating audiences give when they're polled after they see it) is a lukewarm B, meaning that there are a significant number of people who went to see a film about four giant fighting turtles and walked away with the sense that they didn't quite get what they came for from this film about four giant fighting turtles, but they certainly showed up in droves. And 55 percent of the audience was over 25, exactly the same percentage reported for Guardians in its opening last weekend.
The turtle movie hasn't gotten great reviews (our own Tomas Hachard was relatively kind) like Guardians Of The Galaxy has (our own ... well, me ... I was excited). And it wasn't just critics — opening weekend audiences gave Guardians an A. Critics and plain old ticket-buyers agreed: Guardians was a better movie. Shouldn't that word of mouth count for something? Shouldn't hearing that a movie is really good make any difference at all? Does this mean Turtles will sink like a rock next weekend?
Maybe. Whether impressing audiences should matter or not, it often doesn't with movies that are taking place on this scale, at least in the first weekend or two. Whether you're a Marvel movie or a turtle movie, you're trading heavily on familiarity and the event quality of the opening weekend. (See the very silly hyping of movie-against-movie faceoffs that aren't going to happen for another two years.) In the end, it seems very likely that Guardians will make more money domestically, but for the time being, its position at the top of the charts is a shell of its former self. (I'm leaving, I'm leaving.)
And in the meantime, that turtle total is good enough that — sing it with me if you know the words — they've already greenlit the sequel.

I set up a blog for a client. There are two users registered. My client's login is the main admin account. He then set up his assistant with a user account. He first gave her access level of Subscriber. Then went back and changed it to Administrator. He needs her to be able to post his blog posts under his name.
However, when EITHER user logs in to Admin, the Post Author drop-down is NOT visible in the Add New Post screen. It is visible when going into the Edit Post screen and individually editing a post, but she has hundreds of posts to add, it would be far too tedious to add all these posts then go back and edit them all to change the author.
Post Author is also NOT visible from Quick Edit. It's only showing up in the Edit Post screen.
Under Screen Options (very top of the page) when that's displayed while viewing the Add Post page, "Post Author" is NOT one of the checkboxes that can be selected. It is, however, in the Edit Post screen.
Can anyone shed some light as to why this feature is not showing up on the Add Post screen? Any help greatly appreciated.

I am using wordpress to design the website for my church (you can see our page here at livinghopefellowshipefc.com). It has been a real adventure and I am learning lots more about html/php/web design.
Now what I want to do is change the content of the right sidebar so that it changes relative to each page. For example, on the front page it will have links "todays devotional", "recent news", etc. On the about page it will have links to "statement of faith", "our history", "contact us", etc. On the missions page, it will have links to "global outreach", "local outreach", etc.
I am guessing I'm going to have to modify some theme files, but I am not yet sure which files. I will continue to research but any help you can provide will be much appreciated!

Rice appointed to National Science Foundation committee
Professor James A. Rice, head of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at South Dakota State University, has been named to his second advisory committee to the National Science Foundation.
Rice, who first joined the faculty at State as an assistant professor in 1988, has been appointed to the Advisory Committee for Environmental Research and Education at NSF. He also serves on the foundation's Advisory Committee for Cyberinfrastructure.
The AC ERE is the most important means by which NSF receives external input on its environmental portfolio of funding activities and suggestions for environmental research and education initiatives. The initiatives figure prominently in NSF's 2006-2011 strategic plan.
Rice is one of 12 members from across the country that comprise the committee, which meets twice a year at NSF headquarters in Arlington, Va.
"This is an interesting opportunity," said Rice. "It's a committee that provides important input to NSF, as its recently released report on critical transition points in complex environmental processes — like global climate change — has shown.
"It's also a chance to interact with the people who actually manage the environmental research and education programs at NSF," he added. "It also provides the opportunity to interact directly with the director and deputy director at NSF.
"Being on the committee provides great insight into how NSF functions."
For Rice, whose research interests are in environmental chemistry and geochemistry, the appointment is not only professionally rewarding, but also one that can benefit the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at SDSU.
"This is something I can contribute to from a technical point of view as an environmental geochemist," said Rice. "It will also benefit our department, especially our younger faculty, because one of our research focus areas is in environmental and sustainable chemistry.
"The interactions that take place through this committee provide insight into the directions NSF is going, so I can better guide faculty members as they develop and submit research grant proposals," he added.
Rice noted that serving on two NSF advisory committees also enhances his role as director of the South Dakota EPSCoR, Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, program, a position to which he was appointed in 2002.
"The Advisory Committee for Cyberinfrastructure is important to what we try to accomplish in the EPSCoR program, because we are a large state with a small population, and in the EPSCoR program, we've learned that cyber-enabled communication and collaboration greatly enhances our ability to secure competitive research funding," he said.
"The two committees are complementary assignments in the sense that so much of environmental science involves the collection of data via cyber-enabled, research infrastructure," Rice added.
The NSF is an independent federal agency whose board members, including the director and deputy director, are appointed by the president of the United States. With an annual budget of $6.1 billion, NSF is a major funding source of all federally-supported, basic science and engineering research conducted by America's colleges and universities.
Founded in 1881, South Dakota State University is the state's Morrill Act land-grant institution as well as its largest, most comprehensive school of higher education. SDSU confers degrees from seven different colleges representing more than 200 majors, minors and options. The institution also offers 23 master's degree programs and 12 Ph.D. programs.
The work of the university is carried out on a residential campus in Brookings, at sites in Sioux Falls, Pierre and Rapid City, and through Cooperative Extension offices and Agricultural Experiment Station research sites across the state.

First Thunderbird 3 Alpha
The Mozilla project has just announced the availability of the initial alpha version of Thunderbird 3, codenamed "Shredder".
As you might guess from the codename, this is a very early developer version of the next generation mail client that is not intended for production use.
Shredder Alpha 1 builds on the Gecko 1.9 platform which also provides the underpinnings for Firefox 3. The primary goal of the recently released alpha version is to discover to what extent the platform will cooperate gracefully with Thunderbird.
Thunderbird 3 Alpha 1 is available for downloading from the Mozilla Messaging homepage.

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
I have always been fascinated by first books. I found Good Kings, Bad Kings, Susan Nussbaum's first novel, enthralling, exciting, funny, infuriating, and bracing in turn. Nussbaum has created a touching and lovely mosaic from first person narratives of broken, needy, and wounded people. The outside structure is the Illinois Learning and Life Skills Center (ILLC), a nursing facility for juveniles with disabilities, but the inner cohesion is twofold: the mission and purpose of the institution, and the bonds these young people form among themselves and with some of their caretakers. While the institution itself is stifling and destructive, the personal relations are often healing, both for the students and for the adults.
Social organization is embodied in its institutions, which perform the necessary tasks of a society. So, institutions like ILLC may be inevitable, but it is important...
Here is a wonderful article about Susan Nussbaum's journey to this book.

I've always associated spring with change, for better or for worse. There are the visible changes in weather, in people coming out of hibernation. Then there are the internal changes, like craving a fresh start; similar to ringing in the New Year, without the gravity of it. Over the years, I've noticed family, friends and colleagues use that state of mind to initiate change -- whether it's finding a new job, moving to a new city or just trying a new restaurant. It's really up to you.
How does fashion fit into all of this? Well, whether your wardrobe needs an overhaul or a simple update, improving how you look will improve how you feel about yourself and, much like what you choose to do with the turning of the season, the rest is up to you. Here we offer you our picks for the best in men's apparel, accessories, footwear, and grooming this spring.
Best wishes for the new season.

Great find
The room was to die for with the greatest of views.
Beachbrow was the perfect place to stay as it was perfectly placed and had charm, history and one of the best baths we have ever had the pleasure of using. The owners were really attentive and we're more than happy to open their restaurant and bar if wanted. Deal is a beautiful town and the Beachbrow reflected the warmth and friendliness of the area.

Delphi 2009 added the GetHashCode function to TObject. GetHashCode returns an Integer which is used for hashing in TDictionary.
If you want an object to work well in TDictionary, you need to override GetHashCode appropriately such that, in general, different objects return different integer hash codes.
But what do you do for objects containing double fields? How do you turn those double values into a integers for GetHashCode?
The way it's usually done in Java, say, is to use a method like Double.doubleToLongBits or Float.floatToIntBits. The latter has documentation that describes it as follows: "Returns a representation of the specified floating-point value according to the IEEE 754 floating-point "single format" bit layout." This involves some bitwise operations with different masks for the different bits of a floating point value.
Is there a function that does this in Delphi?

- Does this plugin prevent site content being accessed via RSS feeds?
- Does activation of this plugin automatically indicate to search engines that the website should not be indexed by spiders?
I am also wondering about #2, /robots.txt handling, to be specific.
My multisite installation has production and staging sites mixed, which means I don't think I can shoot a regular robots.txt file into WP root - it would kill products sites indexing.
But right now (5.0.1) robots.txt queries get redirected to WP login screen, which is a bit too messy to my liking. Bunch of plugins get loaded, logs get spammed and other useless work stuff happens.
It's feeling like the plugin could use a new settings field for specifying a custom robots.txt per subsite.
Any thoughts here, Jake?
Suddenly my feeds do not validate. I tried using the example under FAQ's but this created conflicts with other plugins.
How would one allow Feeds to go through unrestricted if you IP filter the site?

China Southern Swings to Loss on Forex Fluctuation Impact
China Southern Airlines Co., the country's largest airline by passengers carried, posted a first-half net loss after suffering the sharpest foreign-exchange loss among the three biggest Chinese carriers.
The Guangzhou-based carrier swung to a net loss of 1.06 billion yuan ($173 million) from 344 million yuan in net income a year ago, according to a Hong Kong exchange filing yesterday that's based on international accounting standards.
China Southern cited fluctuations in the Chinese currency for its weakening profit in a statement issued last month. Air China Ltd. and China Eastern Airlines Corp. had also issued similar warnings in July. The yuan, which weakened 2.4 percent against the dollar in the first half, will probably fall about 1 percent in the second half, according to the median of 58 economist and analyst forecasts compiled by Bloomberg.
"If the yuan's picking up, it's positive for airlines," said Claire Teng, a transportation analyst at Standard Chartered Plc. ahead of the earnings release. "Chinese airlines will swing into a forex gain."
Yield per revenue passenger kilometer fell 1.7 percent to 0.58 yuan in the first half, the airline said.
China Southern rose 2 percent in Hong Kong trading yesterday to close at HK$2.61 before the earnings announcement. The stock has dropped 14 percent this year, compared to a 6.2 percent gain in the city's benchmark Hang Seng Index.
Passenger Traffic
The airline recorded a 1.11 billion yuan net foreign exchange loss, compared with a 1.52 billion yuan net gain a year ago, it said. That compares to a 660 million yuan foreign exchange loss for China Eastern and 721 million yuan for Air China.
China Southern's net loss came despite year-on-year increases of 8.7 percent in operating revenue and 10.2 percent in passenger traffic volume, according to the statement.
The airline's net loss was near the higher end of a 900 million yuan to 1.1 billion yuan range it had indicated last month. Net income reported by Air China and China Eastern was at the stronger end of guidance they had provided earlier.
Shanghai-based China Eastern reported a 98 percent tumble in first-half net income to 12 million yuan from 622 million yuan a year earlier, the company said in a Shanghai exchange statement yesterday.
Beijing-headquartered Air China on Aug. 26 said its first-half net income dropped 55 percent to 510 million yuan, compared with a forecast of a 55 percent to 65 percent decline.

PRAGUE, Aug. 10 -- Czech and NHL ice hockey
officials met for four hours on Wednesday but failed to break a deadlock over player transfer payments, an obstacle to National Hockey League participation in the Olympic Games.
Last week Czech professional teams rejected part of the NHL's recently signed collective bargaining agreement, saying they wanted higher fees for player transfers.
Under the new CBA, signed last month to end a 301-day player lockout by owners, the North American league would pay European teams for players based on a sliding scale.
The new scale for player compensation increases the amount paid for players to their European teams, up to $900,000 for a first overall draft choice.
That amount drops by $20,000 for each successive pick until the end of the first round. Teams that lose second-round picks and onward to the NHL would receive a flat $150,000.
Russian hockey clubs have also rejected the deal.
"We want an agreement that will be advantageous to both sides," said NHL executive vice president Bill Daly, who attended the talks along with Czech officials and Rene Fassel, the head of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) and
Ted Saskin, the head of the NHL Players' Association.
The CBA, which lasts for five years, also sees the NHL
paying $12.5 million annually to the IIHF for development of the sport. This is up by some $3.5 million over the previous CBA.
Transfer money is also doled out via the IIHF.
If a compromise is not reached, the NHL would not have an agreement for its players to take part in the Olympic Games in Turin, Italy, next year, a tournament it has used to showcase its talent on a world stage.
The Czechs, who won Olympic gold in 1998 and are the
reigning world champions, had 71 players in the NHL during the
2003-2004 season, the NHL's last before the labor dispute.

Perfect. I added a layer of zucchini and carrot near the bottom and a layer of eggplant near the top as well.
Fantastic! the only change I made was I sauteed an onion and garlic in with the ground beef and I added in some Parmesan cheese also, this will be a repeater! thanks Kel!...Kitten:)
This was delicious, and the instructions were SO easy to follow. I made this exactly to the recipe except for adding a cup of grated Cheddar to the Parmesan. Loved the cinnamon and cumin in the sauce. A superb blend of flavours. We all enjoyed this, and I'll certainly make it again. It also reheats well(covered loosely with in a moderate oven). Thank you, KelBel, for sharing this recipe.
This was a good recipe and worth making again. The spices were slightly strong for our tastes and next time I will probably cut back some on the cummin and nutmeg.

Taiwan Stocks: EVA Air, Kinsus, Motech, Unimicron, Young Fast
Stocks of the following companies had unusual moves in Taiwan trading. Stock symbols are in parentheses and prices are as of 1:30 p.m. close.
The Taiex Index fell 285.24, or 3.4 percent, to 8,234.78, the lowest level since Oct. 22. The gauge closed almost 10 percent below its high this year on Jan. 28.
Unimicron Technology Corp. (3037 TT) and Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. (3189 TT) both slid by the 7 percent daily limit, the most since May 21, on speculation they may face a shortage of components following the earthquake in Japan, said Bonny Weng, an analyst at KGI Securities Co.
Unimicron slumped to NT$48, while Kinsus dropped to NT$83.70. The quake has no major impact on the two companies' operations and they are monitoring their imports of raw materials from Japan, they said in separate exchange statements yesterday.
EVA Airways Corp. (2618 TT) slid 6.9 percent to NT$22.95, the most since May 12, 2009. Taiwan's second-largest carrier expected a 10 percent decline in passengers to and from Japan for the next "few days," EVA said in an e-mailed reply to questions. The carrier said it didn't expect a major impact on cargo.
Motech Industries Inc. (6244 TT) gained 4.3 percent to NT$122.50, the most since Feb. 24. The island's largest solar-cell maker will form a venture with Green Energy Technology Inc. (3519 TT) and Taiwan Poly-Silicon Corp. to produce polysilicon wafers, Motech said in a statement to the stock exchange yesterday. Green Energy was unchanged at NT$151.
Young Fast Optoelectronics Co. (3622 TT) slumped 7 percent to NT$207, the lowest level since April 6, 2009. The maker of touch screens was cut to "reduce" from "neutral" at Nomura Holdings Inc., which cited a "rapid decline" in demand for so-called resistive touch. The brokerage lowered its share-price forecast to NT$197 from NT$346, analysts led by Anne Lee wrote in a report.

Hi, just wanted to find out if there is anyone else out there that have been ttc for a prolonged period of time after having Implanon. I had it removed 2/5/12 (virtually a year go) and still no little one. Saw ob/gyn 08/12 and she hadn't seen any issues. Just went 12/12 and she tested me for PCOS which after bloodwork and an ultrasound, dx'd me with me. Had an ultrasound today, though, and no abnormal cysts. I think all of my issues have because of that implant and I've read that it can do cause cysts too as well as take a year for your body to normalize.
Anyone else out there that with similar stories?

France's new state-backed investment bank BPI said Wednesday it chose not to help save a refinery and steel mill, the closures of which has been considered a failure of government efforts to save the nation's industrial base.
The BPI looked into possible efforts to revive production at a mill owned by steel-giant Arcelor Mittal "we would have lost a lot of money and it wouldn't have been good business," said the bank's director Nicolas Dufourcq.
Arcelor Mittal announced last week that it would begin shutting down the blast furnaces at its Florange facility.
The company had been threatened last year by a French minister with nationalisation of the site, ensuring affected workers would be found jobs in other activities at the facility.
Dufourcq said the bank also looked into helping a new investor into the Petroplus oil refinery, which is now facing closure after two bids take over the facility were rejected by the court overseeing its insolvency, but said BPI wanted to focus on projects with a future.
"Our agenda, that's France in 2030. Petroplus, is that the France of 2030?" he told AFP.
Some 470 staff at the Petit-Couronne refinery outside Rouen are expected to lose their jobs in the coming days.
The BPI, which held Wednesday the first meeting of its national advisory committee, was established by the government of President Francois Hollande to spur economic growth by lending to small and medium-sized enterprises.
It has 42 billion euros ($55 billion) in resources, including 10 for investment into the capital of companies.
Dufourcq said it would favour investment future growth sectors that offer perspectives of long-term profits, such biotechnology and clean energy technologies.

Spectral Characteristics of Popular Commercial Recordings 1950-2010
In this work the long-term spectral contours of a large dataset of popular commercial recordings were analyzed. The aim was to analyze overall trends, as well as yearly and genre-specific ones. A novel method for averaging spectral distributions is proposed that yields results that are prone to comparison. With it, we found out that there is a consistent leaning toward a target equalization curve that stems from practices in the music industry but also to some extent mimics natural, acoustic spectra of ensembles.

W2W4: Bruins at Canadiens, 7:30 ET
By Joe McDonald
MONTREAL -- The
Boston Bruins
(18-7-2, 38 points) face the
Montreal Canadiens
(17-9-3, 37 points) for the first time this season Thursday night at Bell Centre (7:30 p.m.). Here's what to watch for:
This will be the first time this season the Bruins and Canadiens face off. Boston and Montreal are the top two teams in the Atlantic Division and this rivalry will heat up again once the puck drops. Players on both sides are genuinely excited for this game and it should be a typical high-intensity game between these two rivals. This is the 722nd all-time meeting between these teams with the Bruins having a 270-340-103-8 record. More recently, the Bruins are 0-2-1 in their last three games against the Canadiens.
The Bruins have had four days between games since their 3-1 win over the
Columbus Blue Jackets
last Saturday at TD Garden. Coach Claude Julien gave his players Sunday off with an optional practice on Monday. They've practiced the last two days and went through their normal morning skate on Thursday at Bell Centre. The Canadiens are coming off 4-3 shootout win over the
New Jersey Devils
Wednesday night in New Jersey. Montreal is 7-0-1 in its last eight games. Boston is 6-1-1 in its last eight games with a 10-2-2 record in the last 14.
Two of the best in the NHL will be in net tonight with
Tuukka Rask
Carey Price
. Rask is 14-6-2 with a 1.90 goals-against average and a .935 save percentage. Price is 12-8-2 with a 2.00 and a .937. Rask has not played since a 3-2 win over the
New York Rangers
on Nov. 29. Price did not play against the Devils Wednesday night as backup
Peter Budaj
helped Montreal to a shootout win. Rask is 2-8-2 in 13 career games against the Canadiens. Price is 16-8-3 in 28 games against Boston.
Julien has emphasized the importance of a strong start against the Canadiens, especially at Bell Centre. As Julien explained after the team's morning skate, the Canadiens are a tough team to rally against in at home. They do a good job protecting the lead if they can get it. If the Bruins want success Thursday, they have to start strong in the first period.
Bruins defenseman
Torey Krug
, who has been dealing with a minor lower-body injury since blocking a shot against the Blue Jackets Saturday in Boston, will be a game-time decision against the Canadiens, but all signs point to him being in the lineup. After the morning skate, Krug said he felt good and Julien admitted the young defenseman looked good during the skate. Julien went as far as to say he would be extremely surprised if Krug wasn't able to play.
