Exclusive Interview with Threatened Moroccan blogger Kacem Al Gazail
|September 7, 2010
At just 19 years old, Kacem Al Gazail is among the youngest, most effective and most controversial Arabic bloggers. His blog "Bahmut," which means a large fish that is difficult to look at, is a well known Moroccan blog. In recent days, Al Gazail has received numerous death threats following his secular, democratic and liberal writings. His blog discusses issues ranging from freedom of expression to political Islam. CyberDissidents.org's Arabic programs coordinator, Ahed Al Hendi, caught up with Al Gazail for this in depth interview. It has been translated from Arabic.
Q: When did you start blogging?
A: I started blogging at 17 years old with no actual intention of doing it. I only wanted to publish an article that asked for the renewal of an old pedestrian path that many people used to get to school. None of the Moroccan newspapers wanted to publish my article, so I found myself writing my first blog.
Q: Did your first blog entry help solve your problem?
A: Not much. But it encouraged some students' families and teachers to push for a solution because my blog was so blunt.
Q: So at first your blog focused on pedestrian problems such as a school path?
A: Yes, I started writing about the educational and behavioral problems of students. I was highlighting these problems from a new point of view. As I began to write more, I started to focus on political, religious, and social issues.
Q: What do you mean by a "new point of view?"
A: I came from a conservative background that destroys the ability for an individual or a student to have strong critical thinking skills. This affects the outlook people have of their community, as well as their social, artistic and political systems. These people stay imprisoned within their conservative ideology in analyzing their lives and the demands put upon them. But because I am a part of a generation that has grown up with the influence of the Internet, I try to analyze everything from a critical and epistemological way.
Q: You said that you belong to a conservative community. How did you come to form alternative viewpoints? What role did protests in Morocco play?
A: The improvement comes from within. I started to look at life from another point of view. I realized that individual freedoms and human rights are the initial step to solve any problem. This revelation didn't come to me because of seeing any protests or demonstrations. It was realizing that an intellectual background has to be established for each demand. For instance, the French Revelation came after several intellectual and cultural throes. Revolution doesn't come without shock and shock can have heavy losses. Thus, I prefer to publish a picture with a comment or open a discussion about a specific issue rather than screaming and yelling in front of government departments.
Q: You have written: "Political Islam is the most dangerous ideology that threaten all mankind. It's a game of lying, hypocrisy and distortion of the facts that promote the mono-truth and each person who disagrees with this 'truth' will face killing and all kinds of ill-treatment." Are asking for an intellectual revolution above all else? How would that happen in the shadow of dictatorial regimes that do not allow any civic activities?
A: As a blogger I can play a key role by interacting with readers and people within social networks. I can communicate with young people and teenagers from different backgrounds. I can transform these virtual activities into physical meetings and events.
Q: Some in the West think that secular dictatorships in the Arab world are better than having a democracy that will bring about Islamist rule. What do you think about that? And how secular is the Moroccan regime?
A: This might be right from a pragmatic point of view and I might agree with it to some extent. However, this doesn't justify having a dictatorship; I am against both such regimes. Morocco is not a secular country at all. But it is a very unique country that lives in a state of schizophrenia. From the outside, Morocco looks as if it is a liberal country full of colors. In fact, it is an extremist country.
Q: I saw a post on your blog discussing the law forbidding anyone from breaking fast in public during Ramadan. I have also heard that people were arrested in Morocco for protesting this law. Could you give me more details about that? Does protesting this law put you at a risk from the authorities in your country as well?
A: The movement started on Facebook. We planned to organize a picnic to protest the law and to eat in public. I was one of the co-founders of this movement on Facebook. However, I could not attend the picnic. The people who did attend were arrested before starting their food. It is true that I was at real risk for starting the movement, and my family, friends, and neighbors all were mad at what I had done. I was constantly scared of being hurt by some radicals because my pictures and address were all published on my Facebook profile.
I also want to talk about the censorship lobbies in Morocco. They are all non-governmental lobbies. For example, a group of people on Facebook publishes the profiles of secular, atheist, and Berber activists. They ask others to report it to Facebook's management, which results in the person's account being deleted. This led to thousands of profiles being deleted from Facebook. My profile was deleted more than ten times. Facebook does not review the reports; they have algorithms that automatically delete profiles that are reported a certain number of times.
Q: The Internet has helped secular dissidents spread their message throughout the Middle East. The governments have their own forums and the Islamists have their mosques. How did the Internet help democratic dissidents in Morocco?
A: We are not organized, but we have done a couple of Facebook activities that were effective. We always try to publish our opinion and to target many people to change their way of thinking. We are not devils and we are not asking to boycott the past and traditions. We are only fighting for human rights, freedom of conscience, and a secular educational system. We do not consider ourselves anti-Islam, but we are against political Islam, which kills one's mind and creativity. We aim to promote the value of tolerance and peace regardless of one's religious identification.
Q: What is your message to the West?
A: By "West," I mean America because it is the only power that can support and encourage freedom. This is clear from its policy of empowering our countries in the Middle East. Most of us, as bloggers and activists, are ready to help the US in its quest to fight terrorism and extremism and to empower our countries. We need the American administration to keep an eye on our regime and to pressure it, always.

Service restored to 90 percent of all customers affected
BALTIMORE, Sept. 1, 2011 – Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) today announced that restoration efforts are beginning to focus on smaller groups of customers and individual customers now that most of the electric system's large feeders (the backbone of the system), which supply power to smaller feeders, have been repaired. The utility continues on pace to restore the vast majority of the customers currently without service by late tomorrow, with some scattered, isolated outages extending into Saturday. Restoration to customers affected by Hurricane Irene is approximately one day ahead of the utility's efforts following Hurricane Isabel in 2003, which affected roughly the same number of customers.
"As this massive restoration effort begins to wind down, the utility recognizes that for our customers whose service is still out, the tremendous progress that has been made thus far has little meaning," said A. Christopher Burton, senior vice president of gas and electric operations and planning, BGE. "These customers have been the most patient and no doubt the most inconvenienced by this event. We remain committed to a safe and prompt restoration for each and every one of our customers. Only then will we be satisfied."
The system-wide restoration effort began last Saturday evening, before the full impact of Hurricane Irene had even crossed through Maryland and before the damage to our system could be determined. Steady and significant progress continues to be made in restoring service to the remaining 60,000 customers, resulting in smaller groups of customers or individual customers getting their power back.
This enormous undertaking could not have been possible without the collective efforts of more than 5,500 people including out-of-state linemen and support staff, BGE employees and contractors. The non-BGE resources are from eighteen states including Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Texas.
"BGE will continue to keep customers informed of the progress being made during this extraordinary restoration effort and is continually updating its website to reflect some of the general areas where crews are working today," said Jeannette M. Mills, senior vice president and chief customer officer for BGE. "In addition, our customer call center, which has been operating around-the-clock at higher staffing levels since the impact of the storm, has fielded more than 1.4 million calls, and will continue to be staffed at these increased levels until all customers are restored. Customers can also stay informed on restoration progress via www.bge.com, Twitter, Facebook and Flickr."
As part of BGE's restoration efforts, crews are operating in "pods," meaning work that requires multiple crews with different skill sets travel together. In so doing, each crew begins its work as soon as the crew before them has completed their part of the job, resulting in the most efficient approach to restoration.
BGE's balanced approach to service restoration ensures crews are working simultaneously in every jurisdiction where BGE has customers. This approach is in line with industry standards, which focus first on public safety and critical infrastructure issues, followed by work that will restore the largest number of customers at once. As part of BGE's standard process during major events such as Hurricane Irene, the company is in regular communication with state and local public and elected officials and emergency operations centers, helping to ensure a coordinated effort between the jurisdictions and the utility. BGE appreciates the assistance and cooperation of these officials and organizations.
As a reminder, BGE customers who may be elderly, handicapped or dependent on electricity for medical equipment who are still without power may want to consider relocating to an alternate location until power is restored. These customers are always encouraged to have alternate arrangements in place should they experience a power outage. Customers using a generator should follow manufacturer instructions and be sure to locate generators in well-ventilated areas. Customers are reminded to report power outages by calling 1.877.778.2222. For more information about BGE storm preparation and how customers can protect their families and property, go to www.bge.com.
Because a number of BGE meter readers are assisting in storm restoration efforts, some customers may receive an estimated meter reading in this month's bill. Please be aware that this reading – as well as any associated payments – will be automatically corrected in the following bill.
BGE also advises customers to protect themselves from individuals posing as BGE representatives. Customers should not open their door to someone they do not recognize. Customers should ask for photo identification through a door or window, especially if they did not schedule a visit from BGE. BGE does not accept cash payments in the field and suspicious persons should be reported to the police and BGE by calling 410.685.0123.
BGE, www.bge.com, headquartered in Baltimore, is Maryland's largest gas and electric utility, delivering power to more than 1.2 million electric customers and more than 640,000 natural gas customers in Central Maryland. The company's approximately 3,000 employees are committed to the safe and reliable delivery of gas and electricity, as well as enhanced energy management, conservation, environmental stewardship and community assistance. BGE is a subsidiary of Constellation Energy, www.constellation.com, a FORTUNE 500 company also headquartered in Baltimore, with subsidiaries that generate, sell and provide other energy-related services to customers throughout North America.

Recipe by SCATTERFLAKE
"This is a summertime tradition in my family, and we have NEVER tasted, (or even seen), a strawberry pie like it! You will LOVE this. 'The Old Boy' is my dad, but my mom remembers her grandmother making a pie like this when she was young."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 recipe
pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
3/4 cup
white sugar
3/4 cup
all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons
1 pinch
ground nutmeg
4 cups
fresh strawberries, hulled
1/2 cup
white sugar
1/2 cup
all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon
By utilizing the suggestions of previous reviewers and adding a couple of my own, this pie turned out beautifully. I'll definitely be making this pie again and again. Here's what I recommend. 1) Taste your strawberries first to determine how sweet they are. This will help you decide how much sugar to use. 2) As suggested by a previous reviewer, discard the excess sugar, flour and cornstarch mixture to prevent your pie from becoming goopy and soupy. 3) Make a brown sugar oatmeal crumble topping for your pie by combining one stick of butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup oatmeal, 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of salt. The topping will be beautiful and brown.
A pie that doesn't turn out is worthy of *no* stars. Not even if the topping was good, which this was. I should have expected it. A half cup of flour and a tablespoon of cornstarch is waaaaay too much thickener for four cups of ANY kind of fruit and I should have followed my gut and trusted my 50 years of baking experience. I even used five cups of berries and it still was a pasty, raw floury, unappetizing goo. (This literally WAS inedible - I'm not exaggerating merely to stress a point) It was a beautiful pie, I'll give it that, because the crust was great (Harden Your Arteries Pie Crust) and the topping was beautiful and delicious. But the disaster is obvious immediately upon cutting into it. Had this recipe called for half the amount of thickener I might have ended up with a decent pie, but the recipe is what it is and, if prepared as is with the error in the ingredients, is simply awful and a failure. (For those of you who are interested, I have posted a personal photo of the cut slice which is worth a thousand words)

This pie was very easy and very sweet! I thought the crumble topping might taste better made with brown sugar?! It seemed to harden up a lot and not really "crumble". I may try brown sugar next time I make it. Also, a tip if you have extra flour, sugar and cornstarch that does not mix in completely with the strawberries throw it out and do not add it to the pie. I made that mistake and it all sunk to the bottom of the pie so there was a thick layer of white gooey liquid at the bottom. Other than that it was a quick and delicious pie!
This was the best strawberry pie I've ever had! I didn't know if I'd like a baked strawberry pie, as I'd only had the fresh, unbaked kind before but this was fantastic! As soon as I sampled my first slice I was already planning to bake another!!! Incidentally, I prefer it chilled and not eaten warm, as I believe you taste the flavors better.
Since some reviewers commented on the sweetness of the pie, I halved the sugar+flour+cornstarch mixture for the strawberries and slightly drained it on the side before putting the filling in - that helped a lot on the 'runny filling' problem, but it didn't help on the sweetness at all! If you want it less sweet, make sure you cut on the sugar in the crumb topping, because that's what's overly sweet. Also, the pie was white/yellow and rough (I could taste the granular sugar even though I sifted it), so definitely use brown sugar (sifted) for a better texture. Overall, if it weren't for the filling, this would've tasted like chunks of white sugar.
Absolutely delicious! I cut down on the sugar just a bit after reading reviews. I was unsure as to what to do with the leftover cornstarch/flour mixture once the berries were coated, so I tossed it out and I think that was the right thing to do (rather than putting it in the pie). I'll make this pie often! It's the BEST!
This pie is fantastic!! I added blueberries and turned it into a fresh berry pie. The crumb topping is to die for!
This pie looked very nice and bubly coming out of the oven. I followed the advice of another reviewer and did not mound the strawberries so much, I'm glad I spread the berries out a bit. It took a turn for the worst when being served, it did not look too great on the plate, even if I let it cool down considerably. Nevertheless, it tasted great! We had the pie warm with ice cream on the side, what a treat! I will make this again and add more nutmeg to the topping next time.

While it doesn't necessarily beat the Kindle Paperwhite, the $119 Nook GlowLight is an excellent e-reader that's strongly worth considering if you don't want to buy into the Amazon ecosystem.
With its more portable design, the Kobo Aura is a worthwhile -- albeit pricier -- Kindle Paperwhite alternative for EPUB fans who don't want to be tied to Amazon's proprietary ecosystem.
While the "all-new" Paperwhite may seem like an unspectacular upgrade on the surface, it's a clear improvement over the original Paperwhite and arguably the best e-reader currently available.
It looks like the Nook Windows 8 app may be superseded by a Microsoft reading app. But the planned Nook Windows Phone app is seemingly tabled.
The Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight sets the standard for e-ink e-readers going forward and is well worth the extra money if you do a lot of nighttime reading.
The 2013 Kindle Fire HD works perfectly as an e-reader with a few extra tablet features, but users looking to take full advantage of Amazon's ecosystem should pay more for the Fire HDX.
Barnes & Noble's next-generation e-ink e-reader costs the same ($119) as Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite, is lighter at 6.2 ounces, and has an improved lighting scheme. Check out CNET's photos of the new device.
Wondering what to do with a cracked Android tablet? CNET's Donald Bell shows you how to turn the damaged device into a dedicated e-book reader.
Barnes & Noble's Nook Color is a capable color touch-screen e-book reader that offers much of the functionality of an Android tablet for half the price of an iPad.
The new touch-screen Nook is a major advancement over its predecessor and offers some real advantages over the 2010 Kindle.

It all started on a snowy day in December 1974, when he was twenty-one years old. After buying the new issue of
Popular Electronics
in Harvard Square, Allen ran to show it to his best friend from Seattle, Bill Gates, then a Harvard undergrad. The magazine's cover story featured the Altair 8800, the first true personal computer; Allen knew that he and Gates had the skills to code a programming language for it. When Gates agreed to collaborate on BASIC for the Altair, one of the most influential partnerships of the digital era was up and running.
While much has been written about Microsoft's early years, Allen has never before told the story from his point of view. Nor has he previously talked about the details of his complex relationship with Gates or his behind-closed-doors perspective on how a struggling start-up became the most powerful technology company in the world.
Idea Man
is the candid and long-awaited memoir of an intensely private person, a tale of triumphant highs and terrifying lows.
After becoming seriously ill with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1982, Allen began scaling back his involvement with Microsoft. He recovered and started using his fortune—and his ideas—for a life of adventure and discovery, from the first privately funded spacecraft (
) to a landmark breakthrough in neuroscience (the Allen Brain Atlas).
More recently, after fighting back another bout with lymphoma, this time non-Hodgkin's, Allen decided it was time to write his memoirs.
Idea Man
is an astonishing true story of ideas made real.

It sounds so romantic, doesn't it? Dream up a great business idea, get funding, go public, become a billionaire.
Well, take off those rose-colored glasses, because while new firms create about 3 million jobs every year, according to the Kauffman Foundation, an organization promoting entrepreneurship, working for one isn't a walk in the park. That fun stuff folks like Google and Facebook promote--free food, laundry service, beer keg parties—is there to take the edge off the 16-hour days necessary to get from idea to reality.
If you're tempted to jump on the start-up job train, you'll be well-served to make a few considerations first. Below are seven characteristics of people who may not be cut out for life at a company in full-steam-ahead growth mode.
If You Like Being Able to Explain What You Do Every Day
If you don't want to see how the sausage is made, as they say, then you may find a start-up frustrating. That's because whether you join a start-up in a marketing role or to fill a sales position or write complicated code, it's safe to assume that, more often than not, you're going to have to help out with things you might consider "someone else's job" in another, larger company. "If you're going to want to have a long conversation before doing something that wasn't in your job description, a start-up isn't for you," says George Anders, author of "Becoming a Rare Find."
That's because at a start-up in growth mode, manpower is inevitably in short supply. "Start-ups are more than an 'all-hands-on-deck environment," says Kathy Ver Eecke, founder of Working for Wonka, a Silicon Valley-based start-up consultancy. "It actually takes all hands to keep the deck above water."
You might be asked to work on projects that require subject matter expertise that you don't actually have, but will be forced to learn on a deadline. What a start-up needed when they wrote your job description has already changed, and what they needed you to do yesterday isn't necessarily what you'll be needed for today. The lack of predictability can throw some traditionally trained workers for a loop.
If You Do Your Best Work with Instructions
A frequent, but fundamental, misunderstanding about working for a start-up is that you really do have to be innovative every day. Sure, innovation is needed when you're developing the idea for a business or how you can improve a product, but even the day-to-day business aspects require a level of enterprising creativity.
"In a start-up, they don't know what the job's specifications are," says Steve Blank, author of "The Start-Up Owner's Manual" and a retired eight-time entrepreneur. "They're still searching for a business model." You might have some semblance of an end goal in mind, but you'll be tasked with figuring out every little thing that is needed to reach it. That can be mind-boggling for people who are used to being trained when they take a new job, Blank says.
While you might find the same job title at a start-up that you had at a large firm, you shouldn't assume the work will be the same. "A VP of sales at Procter & Gamble doesn't have the same specs as a VP of sales at a start-up," Blank says. "You have concrete job specs at an existing company because they have developed a repeatable process," he explains. At a start-up, you have to develop a process that works so it's worth repeating.
If You're Keen on Family Time
"Working at a start-up is incompatible with being a family person," says Anders. "It's a much easier life if you're single, if the idea of staying late on a Friday is no problem at all." He points to a number of successful start-up founders, many of whom are in their 20s or 30s, who don't have families to support or spend time with during the years that they're working tirelessly to get their businesses off the ground. "For those who do have families, you need someone who can connect with your kids during that period because you're not going to be around that much," Anders says.
Putting your personal life behind your job is a difficult thing, and is a balance people from more traditional work backgrounds often feel strongly about maintaining. "Your hours can expand at any time in any direction," he says. "If the start-up is going to take off, you may find yourself working six to seven days a week, getting in early and leaving at 10 p.m."
If You're Counting on Benefits and Job Security
Along with their long hours, start-ups have come to be known for their creative perks. From free food and on-site dry cleaning to reimbursed fitness and commuting costs, many start-ups strive to provide everything you need day-to-day within the confines of their workplace. It's a nice bonus, considering the lengthy hours employees put in tend to make everyday errands and chores a bit more burdensome.
That being said, corporate converts may find these "benefits" rather paltry. "A start-up could have terrific perks for everything," Anders said, but they may not offer you health insurance or a 401(k) match. "From bed to bed, you're taken care of," he says, "but they may not be concerned in a big way about providing for your retirement in 30 to 40 years because they're trying to build a great company right now."
If You're Really Attached to Your Button-Downs
"You must be comfortable with 'the Big Lebowski Effect,'" Ver Eecke says. "Start-ups have a strong distaste for formality and anything 'corporate.'" They take pride in their dual-purpose ping-pong/conference tables and the fact that bringing dogs and lizards to the office is encouraged, she explains, but that's just the surface-level stuff. "A lack of formality can also mean a lack of structure," she says. You may forego a regular job description and title, normal work hours, meetings with an agenda and the ability to keep your personal and professional lives distinct from one another.
The chummy environment of many start-ups is present for a reason: Team dynamics in early-stage start-ups can make or break the business's trajectory. "The people you're working with become your friends and family," Anders says. "It's important to keep high esteem of people even if you're putting pressure on one another."
If You're Easily Discouraged
In the world of start-ups, you'll be hard-pressed to find an entrepreneur who hasn't encountered failure at least once. Whether it's an entire firm that crumbles or just a business decision that forces the company to pivot, people who have trouble admitting their shortcomings aren't well-suited for risk-laden start-ups.
In particular, complainers and devil's advocates will be quickly shown the door. "Big companies can tolerate and even welcome skeptics," Anders says, "but in a start-up, you can't afford negativity." Anders notes one start-up that had a rule about complaining: You could only do so if you had come up with a solution to the problem. "Start-ups don't have a team of people to come up with a solution," he says. "You have to find your own fix."
In essence, failure is tolerated while negativity is shunned. "If the idea that things could go up in flames tomorrow doesn't work for you, you're not right for a start-up," says Ver Eecke. Most entrepreneurs have come to terms with this concept, and embrace the idea that failure, however disappointing, is a learning opportunity. "If you aren't comfortable with the fact that a start-up might fail, you at least have to be comfortable with your boss being OK with failing," Ver Eecke says, instead of concerned that they're not looking out for the best interests of the project. The best interest of the project may, in fact, be totally scrapping months of hard work and starting over from the beginning.
If You're a Perfectionist
Sure, it'd be great if everyone got everything right the first time, but most companies are launched with the presumption that things aren't going to be perfect the first time. "Big companies may put out new product upgrades every 18 months," Anders says, "but for start-ups, that can be measured in a matter of weeks. You may be launching one version while the next has already gone to the drawing board."
The "finish it now, fix it later" mentality is driven by the sheer speed at which innovation is happening today. "Some of the skills that are very valuable in big companies, like ensuring that you don't make decisions before you're 99% sure," aren't valuable at start-ups, Anders says. "In a start-up, you make decisions on 70% to 80% certainty," he says. "Being close to right is better than being the fourth person to come to market with the same idea because you were waiting for every last detail to be sorted out. You have to know when to go with 'good enough.'"

Several types of inhalation devices, or inhalers, are used in the treatment of asthma or other chronic obstructive pulmonary (lung) diseases, such as emphysema. Inhalers can be used to deliver medication directly to the lungs with fewer side effects than medication taken by mouth or injection. There are several types of inhalers. The type of inhaler will vary, depending on your medical history, preference, and the severity and frequency of your symptoms. Inhalers can contain anti-inflammatory medications or bronchodilator medications. The most common types of inhalers are:
Consult your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist for specific instructions on how to properly use the inhaler or nebulizer prescribed for you.

Queers & Allies was formed in October 2005 in response to proposed antigay legislation on the November ballot. We are a group of queer faculty, staff (and a few student representatives) and supportive allies from the Bowdoin community.
Since then (the antigay legislation failed, by the way), we have highlighted some preliminary goals:
Serve as a resource for Bowdoin employees, both current and prospective.
Support queer/questioning students (via mentoring) and support the efforts of the BQSA, QTRC, and Gay & Lesbian Studies Program.
Develop social programming for the community inclusive of faculty/staff, as well as students and Friends of Bowdoin.

Productive Aging: Examining Trends in Health and Employment Status by Age
Census data and data from the American Community Survey are used to examine older adults' employment patterns over four decades, the percentage of older adults who have no health problems limiting their ability to work, and trends in employment status for both younger and older adults. Students must prepare a written report interpreting and integrating their results, and then apply the quantitative information by making recommendations to a business and a non-profit agency.
Understanding Housing Patterns in the United States
This exercises examines housing patterns using data from the 2000 U.S. Census considering how stage of life course and race/ethnicity influence these patterns. Students are expected to discuss the implications of their findings.
Women and Household Structure
While you do the exercises in this lesson, you will find data that look at some of these claims. In the next lesson, we will explore some of the demographic "causes" of the increase in the status of women-declines in both mortality and fertility and an increase in urbanization.
Occupational Sex Segregation and Earnings Differences
For this exercise we will: 1) examine sex segregation in employment from 1950 to 2000. 2) examine trends within three specific occupations of your choosing, and 3) for either doctors or lawyers, investigate gender and race differences on earnings and see if these differences change when we control for age.
Social Structure, Race/Ethnicity, and Homicide
As discussed, the murder rates for Blacks in the United States are substantially higher than those for Whites, with Latino murder rates falling in the middle. These differences have existed throughout the 20th and into the 21st century and, with few exceptions, are found in different sections of the United States.
Population Structures and Cohorts
This module provides a gentle introduction to the use of WebCHIP software and census data to investigate basic population issues. In the first part of this module, you will use data from the 1990 U.S. census to create population pyramids for several racial and ethnic groups. These population pyramids provide the ability to view the age and sex structure of a population.
Exploring Education Attainment of U.S. Native-born and Foreign-born
This module explores the effects of nativity, race, and ethnicity on educational attainment in the U.S.
Disability: Equality/Inequality
This module examines the disability community and inequality. Students will attempt to determine which is the best indicator of disability and will form a composite to describe the disability community.
American Indian Population in South Dakota
The American Indian population in the U.S., S.D., and many other states has shown significant growth in recent decades. It is also a comparatively young population. In this module, you will look at these growth patterns, compare the size and age distribution of the American Indian population in the U.S., S.D., & several reservation counties (& your home state/county if you choose).
Fear of Crime
Everyday we have specific routines we engage in. Many of these routines are tailored to preventing us from becoming victims of crime. We do things like lock our doors, watch where we walk at night, or avoid walking alone. We take these actions because at some level we are afraid of the possibility of being a victim of crime. Although we may not consciously think about it, these routines may be influenced by a variety of factors. What factors might make some individuals more afraid than others?

Is there a package for your Minnesota tour stop at the Basillica?
when will Vienna go on sale and are there packages for that too?
so apparently I can only pre-order the decent floor seats if I buy the bundle packs? I can only get the crappy grandstand seats on pre-order when just purchasing 2 regular tickets... i'm kinda mad about that. Artist Arena Website also has a completely wrong seating chart for the VT venue FYI.
if i have a trainline login will i get the presale login and password emailed to me?
Woohooo We got our tickets for St. Augustine! Looking forward to seeing you! :-)
@Donna the presale login and passwords are above:
username: train
password: california37
I guess I will be waiting for the public sale date, I can't afford the whole bundle pack and I want decent seats (granted it's a small venue, most seats aren't bad per say... ). But I've never had a problem getting decent seats on or after day of sale for that venue. I'm just annoyed that I couldn't select decent seats for the pre-sale. Guess that's the downside to Vermont not joining in the rest of the world and using Ticketmaster, but our own local box office instead.
Does anyone know how much the package deals are going for???
I got my tickets!!!!!! WOOO WHOOOO. First Row in Philly...Im sooo excited I want to SCREAM but I'm at work so I cant. Im beyond exicted I might have to go out to the parking lot and scream

Tale of the tape
Wild Card Weekend: Cincinnati Bengals At Houston Texans
|The Bengals closed out the season with seven wins in their last eight games and that earned them a rematch with the team that defeated them in last year's playoffs. Andy Dalton has had two solid years and has size, arm strength and a quick release. Dalton completed 62.2 percent of his passes this season and has a 26-16 TD-interception ratio.
|Matt Schaub is under serious pressure as the Texans struggled down the stretch by losing three of their last four games. Schaub has good season-long numbers – he completed 64.2 percent of his passes and has a 22-10 TD-interception ratio – but his play has been lifeless over the last month of the season and he must turn it around.
|The Bengals have a couple of big-play threats at the wide receiver position in A.J. Green and Andrew Hawkins. Green is a remarkable athlete who caught 97 passes for 1,350 yards and 11 touchdowns. Hawkins has the speed and quickness to cause havoc. Running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis is a solid runner who can finish his runs and keep drives alive.
|Running back Arian Foster is one of the top three running backs in the league and he has to be at his best if the Texans are going to reverse their recent trends. Foster can run inside and bowl over tacklers and also get to the outside. Andre Johnson caught 100 passes for 1,457 yards but had just four touchdowns. Johnson needs to find a way to get in the endzone.
|The Bengals have one of the best defensive fronts in football. Not only can they shut down the interior run, they can put pressure on opposing passers. Geno Atkins had a remarkable season at the defensive tackle position with 53 tackles, 12.5 sacks and 4 forced fumbles. Defensive end Carlos Dunlap (6.0 sacks) is a sensational athlete who had an interception return for a touchdown against the Ravens in Week !7.
|The Texans ranked 9th overall on defense, but they were 15th against the pass. They have been vulnerable against the pass in recent weeks and they will need to turn it around in order to have a chance in the postseason. Defensive end J.J. Watt finished the year with 20.5 sacks and 16 passes defensed. Strong safety Glover Quin led the team with 84 tackles.
|The Bengals have solid special teams and the presence of Adam Jones gives them a legitimate threat as a punt returner. Placekicker Josh Brown has been quite solid as a fill-in for Mike Nugent, making 11-of-12 field goal attempts in four games. Kevin Huber has averaged 46.6 yards per punt.

|Even when the Texans were playing well, their special teams were letting them down. They gave up their third return for a score in their Week 17 loss to the Colts. Shayne Graham has had a decent year, connecting on 31-of-38 field goal attempts.

The Remodeled Garage Heater
If you have converted your garage into a workshop or home office, you are sure to need heating in one form or another. This is because most garages are not built to the same standards of insulation as the main residential building. However, that need not present a difficulty. You may even have the opposite problem during the summer, as garages often do not have windows, or at least large ones, either. Continue reading

I've seen a lot of breastfeeding videos, and have helped two hospitals choose videos to use in their breastfeeding classes. And I can say that many breastfeeding videos are outdated, clumsily made, or (this might sound like a funny critique of an educational video) overly pedantic.
So I approached watching BabyBabyOhBaby: Nurturing Your Gorgeous and Growing Baby with Breastfeeding with a little trepidation. But I was far beyond relieved when I watched it. What makes this DVD special?
Simply put, this is the most beautiful educational breastfeeding video I've ever seen.
The clean, minimalist, high definition images are just stunning. The moms and babies are adorable and of mixed ethnic backgrounds, and the narration is modern-sounding. The close-up confessional-style segments of moms telling their stories are honest, intimate, and captivating. The stripped down, white background and clothing allows you to zero in on the mothers and babies, and the filming is so intimate and clear you can almost feel the babies' soft skin. It's big on breastfeeding bliss, but still seems grounded in reality.
Because the wardrobe and furnnishings are very basic (clothes, furniture, and background are all white) and classic, there isn't any danger of the images seeming out of date over time. This is a big problem with other videos - old hairstyles and clothing are very distracting and make the information seem similarly out of date.
When a video is this gorgeous, it's inspirational. Aspirational, even. I can see pregnant moms watching it thinking, "I want that to be me."
I think that this film is representative of a trend toward simplicity in breastfeeding instruction. When I first started teaching classes at our local hospital eight years ago the video seemed interminable. And my class reflected this, too - I tried to cram every last bit of information into a two hour class, and it still felt like I was leaving things out. The class always got good reviews, but I knew that I was bombarding everyone with more information than could really be absorbed.
More and more I see educational materials which approach teaching about breastfeeding by reducing the number of messages. I think it's no coincidence that this is concurrent with the rise in popularity of Laid Back Breastfeeding (Biological Nurturing), and a shift in counseling techniques to an approach which emphasizes mothers' and babies' own instincts and wisdom. As a strongly left-brained person neither of these shifts have been that easy for me, but I know that they are the right direction to be moving in.
But back to the content of this film. This film is up-to-date, covering the breast crawl, laid-back breastfeeding, and baby-led breastfeeding. The topics covered include breast changes, early breastfeeding, positioning, feeding cues, sources of support, partners, working, and weaning. Is every topic covered in a lot of detail? No, and I'm sure that this wasn't the creators' intent. It's the perfect jumping off point for further investigation, whether a mother sees it in a class or support group setting, or on her own.
So, knowing that this film isn't supposed to be encyclopedic, are there any basics left out? There are two things which I think could have used a little more emphasis: feeding frequency and latch. Feeding frequency is addressed indirectly, through a strong discussion of feeding cues, and mention of it taking a lot of hours each day. If a mother took this to heart and followed her baby's feeding cues (assuming a healthy, full term baby), she would most likely end up feeding in the 8-12 times/24 hour range. So is it important to mention the normal range? For some women, I think so. The other issue, latch, could have used some direct discussion. What should it look like? How should it feel? What should a mom do if she's having pain with latch? Even in the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, which in its latest edition takes a similarly "laid back" approach when it comes to positoning, discusses what to look for in a good latch, both in terms of attachment and comfort. And when I talked with Suzanne Colson about this she said that mothers using Laid Back positions still often need to help their babies achieve a good latch.
But these are topics which could easily be covered in more detail in a breastfeeding class, and the trade off for such beautiful production and up-to-date information is one I'd happily make. If I were still teaching breastfeeding classes, this is the video I would show.
A companion DVD, Bonding with your Beautiful and Brilliant Baby through Infant Massage, is similarly gorgeous and inspiring!

KORS Michael Kors
Beloved by fashion editors worldwide for his timeless, clean-cut aesthetic, Michael Kors has played a pivotal role in defining American fashion. Launched in 2004, KORS Michael Kors is the award-winning designer's collection of shoes and boots for women and girls. Snakeskin ballet flats, leather riding boots, suede Mary Jane pumps, platform wedges, cowboy boots — KORS offers all your favorite styles and more, reinterpreted in Michael Kors' inimitable style. The youngest-ever recipient of the CFDA's Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, Kors continues to challenge himself with fresh takes on footwear as well as handbags, watches, ready-to-wear clothing, and other wardrobe staples. As one writer put it, "his clothes have never lost that clarity, that versatility, that American, self-possessed, no-brainer chic." None other than First Lady Michelle Obama — who wore a black sleeveless Kors gown for her official White House portrait — would likely agree with that assessment.

The Cliff at Penarth, Evening, Low Tide
SISLEY, Alfred (1839 - 1899)
Date: 1897
Media: oil on canvas
Size: 54.4 x 65.7 cm
Acquired: 1993; Purchase; with assistance of the Art Fund
Accession Number: NMW A 2695
Sisley visited South Wales and married his long-term partner, Eugénie Lescouezec, in Cardiff in the summer of 1897. He painted 20 views of Penarth (where he stayed from 5 July to 15 August) and Langland Bay near Swansea. He was fascinated with the unique geological structure of the cliffs at Penarth and the spectacular tidal fall of the Bristol Channel. This view was painted from the start of the clifftop walk linking Penarth and Lavernock, looking southwards, with the island of Steep Holm at the left. It is an evening with the light raking sharply from the West, casting a mauvish shadow from the steep cliff over the beach below. This painting formerly belonged to Edmond Decap, the brother-in-law of Sisley's patron François Depeaux, who had business interests in Cardiff. The practical difficulties were recognised by the artist when he wrote of painting 'against the wind, which reigns supreme here. I had not experienced this before'.

The American Heart Association recommends these Seven Simple Steps for a healthier heart.
1. Get moving. The AHA prescribes 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise, 75 minutes per week of vigorous exercise, or a combination of the two. Physical activity can be anything that makes you burn calories, such as climbing stairs, playing sports, walking, jogging, swimming or biking.
3. Eat heart-friendly foods. A diet with lots of vegetables, fruits, fish and unrefined whole grains is preferred. Stay away from things with partially hydrogenated oils, and try to eat less than 300 milligrams of cholesterol and 1,500 milligrams of sodium each day.
4. Manage and monitor your blood pressure. The good news is that high blood pressure is manageable. And if you're following these steps, then you're probably already experiencing some of the benefits. The next logical steps are getting regular blood pressure readings and keeping track of your progress. The AHA defines high blood pressure as a reading equal to or greater than 140 over 90 mmHg.
5. Lose extra pounds. Extra fat around your waist can put you at greater risk for high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and diabetes. Talk with your primary care physician about your body mass index and a healthy goal for you.
6. Lower your blood sugar. Adults with diabetes are two to four times more likely to have heart disease or a stroke than adults without diabetes, according to the AHA. Talk with your doctor about changes in your eating habits, weight control, exercise programs and medication to keep it in check.
7. Say no to smoking and tobacco use. Tobacco use is the most important preventable cause of premature death in the United States, according to the AHA. Smoking decreases your ability to exercise and increases the tendency for blood to clot. It also decreases HDL (good) cholesterol. If you smoke or use tobacco, you are putting yourself at risk for a lifetime of heart disease.

It's not a brand many people have seen, let alone heard of, so you probably won't have much help.
The keys to any purchase are that it must work well, and be easy to repair with readily available parts. Some of these use proprietary parts, and you can never be sure you can find the parts when you need them.
If you can get those characteristics on the purchase, you should be satisfied. Otherwise, you may end up with a pretty dust collector or a constant source of irritation.

Each of Canada's 13 provinces and territories has a liquor board, commission or corporation that oversees the control, distribution and sale of beverage alcohol in its jurisdiction. While each of these bodies is unique, they are all committed to working together through CALJ on liquor-related issues of common interest.
The Alberta government privatized liquor retailing in September 1993. The private sector retails, warehouses and distributes liquor in Alberta. The Government of Alberta, through the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC), continues to regulate the industry, issue liquor licences, and collect revenues from the sale of liquor.
Nearly 16,000 liquor products are listed for sale in Alberta. Manufactures ship their products to privately operated warehouses approved by the AGLC. Liquor licensees order their stock directly from these warehouses. There are over 1,200 retail liquor outlets in the province. Almost 80 per cent of Albertans are satisfied with the conduct of Alberta's liquor business.
Alberta's population is over 3,000,000 residents.
In British Columbia, the Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) is one of two branches of government responsible for the beverage alcohol industry. The Liquor Distribution Act gives the LDB the sole right to purchase beverage alcohol both within BC and from outside the province, in accordance with the federal Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act.
The LDB operates a province-wide, retail/wholesale beverage alcohol business, within a mixed public-private model.
As of March 31, 2010, the LDB:
• has a workforce of approximately 3,500 full- and part-time employees;
• operates 197 government liquor stores (GLSs) throughout the province;
• operates two distribution centres (DCs), in Vancouver and Kamloops; and
• has a Head Office facility in Vancouver.
As part of BC's mixed model retail system, the LDB is committed to providing customers with an enhanced shopping environment, increased product selection and a high level of service. The LDB purchases beverage alcohol from more than 400 suppliers and manufacturers within the province, across the country and around the world. Licensed manufacturers in BC include 207 wineries, 31 breweries, 23 brew pubs, and 15 distilleries.
Roll over and click on any province to see the respective association.
