THE RESUME A resume is an advertisement of who you are in terms of your competencies, accomplishments, and future capabilities. Employers want to know your capabilities in order to predict future performance in their organization. Consider your resume a preview. Employers spend, on average, 20-30 seconds (or less) reviewing your resume the first time they see it. If it doesn't catch their attention in that short amount of time, they may never give it a closer look. A well-designed resume should be a clear and concise summary of your experiences, skills, achievements, and qualifications. Your resume will serve the following purposes: Self-inventory: You will be better prepared to discuss your abilities and career goals once you've analyzed your present and past experiences. Extended calling card: When sent with a cover letter, a resume introduces you as a candidate and encourages an invitation to interview. Interview agenda: An employer will use your resume as a guide during an interview. Reminder: Your resume will be useful to an employer as you are considered for a position after an interview. An effective resume, above all else, accurately reflects who you are. Let your own creativity and the image you wish to present be your ultimate guide. Remember, to get the most from your job or internship search, you have to market yourself effectively. A targeted and well-written resume is the foundation of a directed and successful job search. The information in the following sections is designed to assist you in developing a resume that will gain attention from employers while at the same time accurately communicate your skills and abilities. Once you complete a rough draft of your resume, please stop by Career Services and let us help you to polish it. Good luck! THE RESUME WORKSHEET - EVALUATING YOUR EXPERIENCES The best place to start in preparing your resume is to take an inventory of your past experiences. Career Services offers self- assessment exercises that can help you determine how you want to market yourself, including what areas to emphasize and highlight in your resume. Make an appointment with a professional career advisor if you want to use any of the self- assessment exercises. Make sure you consider all of your past experiences, including your level of involvement, leadership or responsibilities, the tasks or duties performed, your accomplishments, and specific skills and abilities used (e.g. analytical, research, creative). A resume worksheet has been included on page 9 of this booklet to use as a brainstorming tool. Peer advisors are available in Career Services by appointment to assist you in creating a typed draft of your resume. We strongly advise that all students also meet with a professional staff member to review their resume and discuss related career issues. RESUME MUSTS Keep your resume short. One to two pages is acceptable. Most undergraduate students should keep to one page, however; if you have a substantial work history, don't sell yourself short. If you use a two-page resume, make sure that the most relevant information is on the first page and be sure to include your name and the page number on remaining pages. First impressions are critical. At first glance the resume should appear professional and easy to scan. The layout of the resume should flow logically. All resumes should include contact information, education, and experience. Resumes should NOT include personal information such as marital status, age, birth date, health, children, religion, national origin, sexual preference, or race. A photograph should not be included with your resume. 1 Know yourself and for what purpose you are preparing your resume. Know your audience. The focus of a resume should be a specific position for a specific employer and/or field. Think about what you have to offer an employer and make it the main focus or find an effective way to draw attention to it. Remember: you have the final say on what your resume looks like. Most "rules" can be broken if you have a good reason. APPEARANCE AND LAYOUT The visual impact of your resume is just as important as its form and content. Focus the reader's attention through the effective use of margins, indentation, capitalization, underlining, bullets, and bold face type. Make sure you are consistent in form, and in spacing between entries, headings, and sections. Keep in mind that many employers only do a 20-30 second scan of resumes the first time through, so yours should be neat and easy to read. Your resume must have no mistakes. Try proofreading backwards, word by word. Remember - you're representing yourself on paper, and you want the impression to be one of competence and ability. A neat, presentable, high-quality resume is one of the best ways to get your foot in the door of any job or internship opening! Overall Appearance and Style Ideally, you should maintain a one-inch margin all the way around the page. If you need a little extra room, you can make your margins as small as .5 on all four sides of the page, but no smaller. The information closest to the top and left of the page stands out the most, so make sure you put the most important information there. It may require you to create appropriate headings such as "Relevant Experience" in order to get the most significant experience closest to the top of the resume. Your headings should be appropriate and they should stand out on your resume. The headings help employers find the information they are looking for quickly. Leave enough white space on your resume to keep it from looking crowded; however, too much white space in one area can draw the reader's eye away from important information. To prevent this problem, try to keep the information on your resume balanced on the page. Paper You should always use a heavy (24 pound) bond paper. Typically, the corporate world prefers white, ivory, or light gray. If you are in a less conservative field, you can be a little more daring and creative with your use of color, but keep your paper color light so that it can be photocopied easily. Paper should always be 8 ½ x 11 in size. Font Style and Size The font you choose should look professional and be easy to read even when faxed or copied. Avoid fancy script styles since they are difficult to read and can be distracting. Commonly used fonts are Times Roman, Palatino, Garamond, Arial, and Helvetica. Try to stick to only one font style on your resume. Use ALL CAPS, bolding, SMALL CAPS, italics and different sized fonts to draw attention, but use them sparingly and consistently. Resume text should be written between 10 and 12 point font. Smaller fonts are too difficult to read. Larger fonts look loud and bulky. You may use fonts one or two sizes larger than your text for headings and several sizes larger for your name. 2 Printing Always use a laser printer to print your original. Professional copies from a laser printed original are acceptable. Resumes should always be printed single sided. A final copy of your resume should be laser printed on high-quality white or ivory paper. Mailing You should not staple multiple pages of a resume together. You should never mail your resume without a cover letter. Folding your resume is acceptable but not preferred. You should mail your resume with a cover letter in a 9" x 12" or in a matching #10 envelope. FUNCTIONAL VS. CHRONOLOGICAL RESUMES Choosing a format needs to be based on a solid understanding of yourself, the purpose of your resume, and your audience. You need to choose a format that will best communicate your qualifications to the employer. A chronological resume lists your experiences under each heading in chronological order beginning with your most current experience. Especially in a chronological resume you may want to use special categories of experience (e.g. Relevant Experience) to assure that your most relevant experience is near the top. A functional resume emphasizes your qualifications, skills, and accomplishments while downplaying your actual position and employer. The functional format is useful for someone with little actual work experience or experience related to their field of interest. The focus of the functional resume is on transferable skills. Most St. Lawrence students use a combination resume that features both experience and skills. The combination approach is most useful if your experience is very diverse and in a variety of functional areas. You may choose to use skill headings, for example, and then list experiences that are related to that particular skill. You may also list your experience in reverse chronological order and include skill areas with your descriptions. CONTENT CONTACT INFORMATION This information is used to identify who you are and make it as easy as possible for the employer to reach you. You should never use a heading such as "Resume" or "Personal Data Sheet of . . ." If it is not obvious that this document is your resume, you need to start over! Name Your name should be in bold type and larger than the rest of the type on the page. Give your formal first and last name. You may include your middle name or initial if you like. If you are commonly known by your middle name, it is appropriate to write the initial of your first name followed by your middle and last name (e.g. J. Roger Smith). Address List your complete address. Include and label both your current and permanent addresses, if applicable. This will make it easier for employers to contact you during breaks and after graduation. Avoid abbreviations; although, you may use United States Postal Service standard abbreviations for states (e.g. IA, IL, WI, CO, NY). Telephone Numbers Always list your telephone number and area code. If it is a cell phone, you should identify it is a cell phone number on your resume (e.g. (Cell) 555-555-5555). Most companies prefer the convenience of contacting applicants by phone. If you have roommates, let them know when employers might be calling you so they can answer the phone appropriately and take good messages. If you have an answering machine or voicemail, make sure you have an appropriate message for greeting employers. 3 E-mail Addresses Include your preferred e-mail address in the heading if you are able to check it on a daily basis during your job search. If you check one e-mail address regularly, center it below your name so it is clear that it is your preferred address. If you use two separate e-mail accounts, it is acceptable to list both, but be certain that both are appropriate, professional addresses. URL Addresses Include a URL address on your resume if you have a well-maintained, entirely professional resume site or electronic portfolio. This can be particularly important for those seeking careers in web design or related fields. Sample Contact Information Section John H. Smith firstname.lastname@example.com Current Address Permanent Address CMR 3344 456 Graduate Court St. Lawrence University Anytown, NY 78901 Canton, NY 13617 (234) 567-8901 (315) 229-4444 firstname.lastname@example.com OBJECTIVE Objectives are an optional part of your resume. An objective consists of one to two sentences highlighting the type of position for which you are searching. Objectives can also be labeled Professional Objective, Job Target, Job Objective, Career Objective and Position Desired. An objective is especially useful to have on a resume that you may be handing out without a cover letter such as at a career fair. However, a mailed resume should never be sent without a cover letter and does not need an objective. The objective should be clearly stated in the cover letter. Sample Objective Statement To secure a position as a retail management trainee for a large national department store utilizing communication, organizational, and customer service skills. EDUCATION For the recent college graduate with little practical experience, educational credentials are a primary asset, and thus should be placed near the beginning of your resume. You need only to include institutions that have granted or will grant you a degree. You do not have to, but can include transfer institutions. Your high school education generally should not be included on your resume once you have begun a college degree, however, if you attended a private/independent school, you may also choose to list this information. You must include in this section your degree, graduation date, and major/minor. All other elements are optional. Degree Your resume is a professional document, so just as you do not abbreviate throughout the rest of your resume, you should not abbreviate your degree. Write the degree in full (i.e. Bachelor of Arts, etc.) Date Seniors should indicate the month and year of their graduation. Underclass students should indicate the anticipated or expected month and year (e.g. Anticipated May 2011). Major/Minor Majors and minors should be listed after your degree (Bachelor of Arts, Psychology). Minors should be listed below your major. Grade Point Average (G.P.A.) Include your GPA only if it is at least a 3.000. Do Not round up your GPA, you must report it on your resume like it is reported on your transcript. You may wish to highlight a GPA above 3.500 with bold or italics. Be sure to indicate 4 on what scale your GPA is calculated (e.g. 3.500/4.000), as not all institutions use a 4.0 scale. You may list both your Major GPA and your overall GPA, but never list just your major GPA. Honors/Awards Identify and list all academically related and/or relevant honors or awards. You may also want to include in this section other college honors such as appointments to special committees, sports achievements, and leadership awards. Course Highlights List only those courses that significantly add to your resume. Course highlights are especially important if you do not have a lot of experience in your academic field. Otherwise, you should utilize the space for more important information. List the most important courses at the top and to the left, where they will be seen first. Special Categories Depending upon your major and types of experience, other special categories may be appropriate to your resume such as honors thesis, foreign language, international travel, study abroad, computer skills, and certifications. Sample Education Section St. Lawrence University Canton, NY Bachelor of Arts, Philosophy and Global Studies May 2010 Minor: Sociology EXPERIENCE Your experience should be organized so that your most relevant experience is highlighted first. You may highlight experience gained through an internship, work-study position, volunteer work, or part-time employment. Experience under each heading should be in reverse chronological order. Therefore, you may need to create special categories or sections to assure that the important information on your resume is read first. You should include any experiences on your resume that show your preparedness to enter your particular career field. Start by listing all your part-time and full-time work experience, internships, work-study, volunteer work, and leadership experience. Then choose those that best highlight your skills and abilities. You do not have to include everything – you're writing a resume, not an autobiography. Title Always use your most impressive title. If you were an intern for a company but your title at the company was Special Project Coordinator, use this title rather than Intern. However, do not make up titles for your resume. Fabricating titles is just like fabricating any other information on your resume – unethical and risky. Company Information Company information is normally listed after your title in a resume. However, if the names of the companies or organizations are more impressive than your title, you may want to list the company first. Include only the name of the company and its city and state. Use the full name of the company rather than acronyms, particularly if it is a local company or organization (e.g. TAUNY – Traditional Arts in Upstate NY). Acronyms are acceptable only if the company is nationally known by its acronym (e.g. IBM). Dates Dates should be consistently formatted throughout your resume. Do not use abbreviations for months. Appropriate formats for dates include listing beginning and ending months and the year (e.g. January - May 2007), the season and the year (Summer 2006), indicating academic years (Academic Years 2007-2008), or just a single month and a year (March 2008). If you are listing a current position, indicate beginning month and then "Present" to show that you are currently holding that position (e.g. February 2008 - Present). Dates are important and should always be included on your resume; however, they are not the most important information. You may want to italicize dates to set them apart from the more important information. 5 Tasks/Accomplishments You should use concise statements beginning with bullets and action verbs (see page 8) to describe what you did in each of your positions. Unless you are presently in a position, list each statement in past tense. Be as descriptive as possible and put your most significant tasks or accomplishments first. Use numbers and statistics where possible to help quantify your accomplishments (e.g. 'Managed committee budget' becomes 'Managed $60,000 budget'). Do not use periods at the end of statements. They are not complete sentences. Sample Accomplishment Statements • Worked in a team environment to facilitate introductory level biology course enrolling over 50 students. Held office hours, tutored students, conducted review sessions, graded student assignments, and proctored exams • Organized morale-building activities for approximately 500 dancers during 36-hour dance marathon designed to raise money for local children's hospital. Event raised over $200,000 in 2000 and $250,000 in 2001 • Assisted customers in locating store merchandise, processed customer transactions, and maintained personal cash drawer. Consistently met or exceeded sales quota. Received four employee-of-the-month awards Indiana University Choices and Challenges: Job Search Strategies for Liberal Arts Students Sample Experience Entry Community Assistant Academic Year 2007 - 2008 RESIDENTIAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES, St. Lawrence University, Canton, NY • Fostered an environment conducive to academic and social development for residence hall of 150 students • Counseled students and served as a resource for their academic personal concerns • Communicated and promoted the mission and policies of Residential Learning Communities, Division for Student Life, and St. Lawrence University CAMPUS ACTIVITIES AND LEADERSHIP Any campus activities of which you have been an active member and leadership positions you have held should be highlighted here unless you have chosen to include them in your experience section or in a special leadership section. Organization You should list the full name of the organization and be minimally descriptive (e.g. Beta Beta Beta Biology Honorary). Do not use acronyms. Leadership Because leadership skills are often important to employers, you may wish to list your leadership positions in bold. If you have not held any leadership positions, you may just list the organization or you may write "member." Dates Be sure to include the dates of your membership and any particular leadership positions you held. You should keep the same format for these dates that you used in the rest of your resume. Sample Activities Entry Alpha Phi Omega Service Fraternity October 2005-Present President, September 2007 - Present Service Chairperson, September 2006 - May 2007 6 REFERENCES Your references should be a separate page of your resume document. You should have between three and five references. For each reference, you should include their name, title, institution/organization/company, address, and phone number with area code. You should also include their e-mail address, if they check their e-mail regularly. You should list your best and most applicable references first. If it is not obvious what relationship you have had with a reference (i.e. they have left the company at which they supervised you), it is appropriate to indicate (i.e. 'Supervisor at Marro's Restaurant'). Selecting References Choosing good references is an important part of the resume process. You should choose people who know you well, can compare you to your peers, and who have direct knowledge of your skills and abilities. Good choices are faculty advisors, organization advisors, and former or current supervisors. Try to get a mix of people from different areas of your life (i.e. not all professors). Someone in your field of interest who has supervised your work is the best choice. Make sure that you ask individuals if they are willing to serve as a reference before you list them as a refernce. Make sure you provide them with a copy of your resume when it is completed.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Evaluating how various proteins interact in tumors can help predict a woman's chances of surviving breast cancer, allowing doctors to better tailor treatment, Canadian researchers said on Sunday.
Knowing from the outset that a particular woman's prognosis is bad could allow doctors to give her aggressive treatment right away, but often it is difficult to know which breast cancer patients will do well and which will not.
The researchers analyzed networks of proteins -- chemical compounds vital in cellular processes -- in breast cancer tissue from about 350 women in the United States and Europe.
They found that women who survived the disease had a different organization of the network of proteins within the cancer cells than those who died.
Writing in the journal Nature Biotechnology, they said tracking these protein interactions enabled them to accurately predict in 82 percent of patients whether their breast cancer would kill them or not.
"We approached cancer as a problem in how proteins communicate with each other -- or how proteins interact with each other in networks," Jeff Wrana of Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, who led the study, said in a telephone interview.
"It could help to direct the appropriate therapies for individual patients."
The researchers observed 30,000 protein interactions involving about 8,000 proteins, then identified a core group of about 250 proteins most important in forecasting patient survival. Many of them regulate the actions of other proteins.
If a newly diagnosed patient has protein interactions that suggest a bad outcome, a doctor could give more aggressive treatment through surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.
Mount Sinai Hospital has a patent on the process and the researchers have formed a Toronto-based company called DyNeMo Biosystems to explore commercial applications.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide, with about 465,000 dying annually.

Agreed, Winston Churchill had it right. William Tecumseh Sherman had it right. Destroy every bit of the enemy infrastructure and they wont have anything to wage war with.
We have permission from the country involved. Those strikes are happening in countries where the national government doesn't control all of its territory. Drones are a good weapon to use against people in non-state organizations like Al Queda. Innocent deaths are minimized and you can actually damage the organization by getting to the planners instead of just killing indoctrinated sixteen year olds.

Product description
"The Civil War defined us as what we are and it opened us to being what we became, good and bad things.... It was the crossroads of our being, and it was a hell of a crossroads: the suffering, the enormous tragedy of the whole thing."- Shelby Foote, from "The Civil War" When the illustrated edition of "The Civil War" was first published, "The New York Time" hailed it as "a treasure for the eye and mind." Now Geoffrey Ward's magisterial work of history is available in a text-only edition that interweaves the author's narrative with the voices of the men and women who lived through the cataclysmic trial of our nationhood: not just Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and Robert E. Lee, but genteel Southern ladies and escaped slaves, cavalry officers and common foot soldiers who fought in Yankee blue and Rebel gray. "The Civil War" also includes essays by our most distinguished historians of the era: Don E. Fehrenbacher, on the war's origins; Barbara J. Fields, on the freeing of the slaves; Shelby Foote, on the war's soldiers and commanders; James M. McPherson, on the political dimensions of the struggle; and C. Vann Woodward, assessing the America that emerged from the war's ashes.

Zosimus Writer
Zosimus (Greek: Ζώσιμος; fl. 490s–510s) was a Byzantine historian, who lived in Constantinople during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Anastasius I (491–518). According to Photius, he was a comes, and held the office of "advocate" of the imperial treasury. Zosimus' Historia Nova, "New History", is written in Greek in six books. For the period from 238 to 270, he apparently uses Dexippus; for the period from 270 to 404, Eunapius; and after 407, Olympiodorus. His slavish dependence upon his sources is made clear by the change in tone and style between the Eunapian and Olympiodoran sections, and by the muddled gap left in between them. In the Eunapian section, for example, he is pessimistic, vague, and critical of Stilicho; in the Olympiodoran section, he offers precise figures and transliterations from the Latin, and favors Stilicho. The first book sketches briefly the history of the early Roman emperors from Augustus to Diocletian (305); the second, third and fourth deal more fully with the period from the accession of Constantius Chlorus and Galerius to the death of Theodosius I;

Encrypting files and drives
Reading Exercise
To work with the encrypted container, as with a conventional drive, you must mount it manually on the system. Although Linux recognizes the drive, without the appropriate key file, it gives you no access to the container. Thus, you must once again call zuluCrypt and use the open | encrypted container in a partition menu to select the desired partition. To allow this to happen, the software displays a list of all recognized drives on the system along with their filesystems; encrypted containers always have an entry of crypto_LUKS in the type column (Figure 3).
When you double-click a container, zuluCrypt mounts it as a new folder; the drive name is used as the folder name in your home directory. You can now work with the container like any conventional directory.
To correctly unmount the container after completing all your work, go to the zuluCrypt zC menu and select close all opened volumes. The tool now umounts the encrypted container, so you cannot see its contents without remounting via zuluCrypt.
Encrypting Files
If you do not want to create a whole container but want simply to protect individual files from prying eyes, then you can encrypt them individually in zuluCrypt using the zC | encrypt a file option. After you select this option, zuluCrypt will require the name of the file to be encrypted and a corresponding key. You can either re-enter a key manually or import it from a keyfile.
Then, zuluCrypt encrypts the file in question and stores it under the same file name, but with the suffix of
.zc added, below your home directory. You can change both the filename and the target directory in the encryption dialog to suit your needs (Figure 4). Please make sure that the original file name does not contain any spaces, because zuluCrypt will refuse to encrypt in this case.
To decrypt an encrypted file, select the program option zC | decrypt a file. Using the same clear-cut dialog that you saw when encrypting, you can now decrypt the desired file. This is quite a fast process: In the lab, zuluCrypt required only a few seconds to decrypt a file of around 100MB.
Container in a File
To protect smaller data sets, you can – as an alternative to encrypting a complete drive – use zuluCrypt to create container files that do not occupy the entire volume. Apart from this, these containers do not differ in terms of use from their larger siblings. You can create such a container by selecting create | encrypted container in a file; then enter the required data in a same dialog as for creating an encrypted partition. The only difference is that you must define the size of container file in addition to the filesystem to be used.
If you use multiple encrypted disks and containers simultaneously, zuluCrypt shows them all in its list window. This feature allows you to quickly switch between different content and close all open containers in one fell swoop when you shut down your system. The menu item zC | close all opened volumes (Figure 5) handles this process.

I wasn't playing back them but from what i hear he was really strong and was one of the first champions that created the Tanky DPS movement but after looking at the current kings of the Top Lane would he still be that Bad or could some nerf be reverted
Disclaimer: I'm not saying Jarvan is weak or anything he is strong and the only issue being his high mana cost and his buggy Ult
yea his ult sounded godly in the concept but it doesnt hold up
Thanks captain obvious
There were less dashes and less tanky dps at the time. Also his kit game a ton of free stats so he just stacked GP/5 because he was Jarvan IV.
they should change his passive back to magic damage... darius does tons of magic damage and so do a few others. I don't see how giving jarvan back magic damage on his passive proc is such a bad idea

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Dicom Solutions Inc., a leading distributor and systems integrator of medical imaging solutions, has made Inc. magazine's latest list of the country's fastest-growing private businesses. The Irvine, California company ranked No. 109 on the 2009 Inc. 500 list, achieving a three-year sales growth of 1,473.9 percent.
"We are tremendously pleased and proud to be recognized for our growth in the medical imaging solutions community, and we look forward to expanding on our success in the future," said Dicom Solutions President and CEO Chad Hutchison.
The annual ranking from Inc. magazine is based on the rate of each company's revenue growth from 2005 through 2008--rather than total revenue. It tends to favor smaller companies that have grown quickly, as well as certain industries where very high growth is common. This year's top-growth industries, according to Inc., are insurance, logistics and transportation and food and beverage.
"If you want to know which companies are going to change the world, look at the Inc. 500," said Inc. editor Jane Berentson in an August 12 press release. "These are the most dynamic, fast-growth companies in the nation, the ones finding innovative solutions to problems, creating smart systems, and inventing products we soon discover we can't live without. The Inc. 500 is Inc. magazine's tribute to American business ingenuity and ambition."
With installations at more than 600 medical imaging centers and hospitals since 2003, Dicom Solutions has gained a strong reputation for being a low-cost leader in the medical imaging solutions arena. The company has also differentiated itself by its outstanding customer loyalty and support, operating under the motto of "Doing whatever it takes to get the job done."

Destination Hunters: 10 Great Trailer Sailing Destinationsby Hilary Sharp, Posted July 24, 2012

The passionate love match between Victorian poets Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett has been well-documented in plays like Rudolf Besier's The Barretts of Wimpole Street and Virginia Woolf's novella Flush. MacDonald's play How do I love thee? shows us a completely different side of the couple post elopement. Barrett, it seems, was a drug addict, chained to laudanum, morphine and ether. While the drugs allowed her to give free reign to her imagination, money concerns and his wife's –Read More

Elizabeth Kuti is among the newest generation of English playwrights currently making waves. Thanks to Cart/Horse Theatre, her 2013 play Fishskin Trousers is receiving its North American premiere. The play itself is not for all markets, combining as it does, real and fictional events with magic realism. Nonetheless, as a storyteller, Kuti does hold our interest.

Stunning guitar picking ...
I serendipitously heard a track from this album on a BBC folk music show and was intrigued enough to buy it, based on Simpson's extraordinary guitar technique. Numerous listens later, the album has practically burned a hole in my CD player. It's hard to believe that Simpson is actually an English folkie from a particularly grim part of northern England. In this album he pays homage to the greats of the Mississippi delta with stunning fingerpicking, slide guitar and 5 string banjo. Whilst John Hardy and the Coo Coo Bird are the obvious standouts, the Devil's Partiality (the downpour at the end sends shivers down your spine) and Love Never Dies should not be overlooked. In fact, there's not a bad track. If you're looking for new music to enjoy, look no further. This is as good as it gets.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Please read my review of this great new book, the second-best YA novel about a transgender teen ever.
Marriage equality in the Garden State goes into effect tomorrow. I love what the court said: "The State has advanced a number of arguments, but none of them overcome this reality: same-sex couples who cannot marry are not treated equally under the law today. The harm to them is real, not abstract or speculative," wrote Chief Justice Stuart Rabner in the decision.
Courtesy of Wipe Out Homophobia, you can win a free copy of Almost Perfect. Just go to Almost Perfect's Facebook page and like it. You'll be automatically entered. If you've already liked it, then you're entered whether you like it or not.
Belated congratulations to England and Wales for legalizing marriage equality. What's the deal, Scotland? And Germany, are you going to let England and France beat you on this?
Good riddance to DOMA and Prop 8! Major victory for equality.
In the meantime, a twelfth US state has approved marriage equality.
The first state becomes the 11th state to legalize same-sex marriage. The momentum will not be stopped.
So who's next? Illinois? Delaware? The UK?
So now New Zealand (the first country, by the way, to allow women to vote) has now voted for marriage equality. Last week, France and Uruguay did the same thing. Earlier this year, Colorado approved civil unions, and a handful of Brazilian states voted to allow same sex marriage. Similar laws are on the fast track in the UK, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Nevada, among others.
So where next? What progressive state will be next to stop marriage discrimination? Germany, you're the most powerful European economy, why not be equally innovative with public policy? Or how about Finland, the last hold out in northern Europe. Brazil? Japan? Mexico?
Damn, these are interesting times.
Both Uruguay and France are on their way to becoming the 12th and 13th nations to legalize marriage equality. Yahoo commenters were quick to weigh in:
You said, "13 down, 183 to go."
