A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
New plans are in the works for Toledo Public Schools and the Head Start program: TPS wants a citywide preschool program.
TPS Superintendent Dr. Romules Durant is known as being "TPS Proud." During a press conference Wednesday morning, he stressed that fact, and emphasized that TPS, along with several nonprofit organizations, should have oversight of the Lucas County Head Start program.
On Wednesday morning, the school board signed a resolution authorizing Durant to work with local agencies to submit a comprehensive proposal to the administration to request funding to run the program.
The Head Start program was operated by the Economic Opportunity Planning Association for the past 40 years. After losing its grant back in July, a company based out of Denver took control with a one-year contract.
Now TPS officials want to take charge of the program, as a way to instill qualities in a child from an early age. EOPA officials have joined the effort as a way to stay attached to the kids in the community.
"We have a history of educating poor and children of color. We have a history of dealing with vulnerable families. So, that's what we're bringing to the table," explained Perryman.
Durant says the achievement gap can be identified at 9 months, and if they can get kids at that age, it will make things easier once they reach kindergarten.
"The best intervention is prevention, and the more you can make that happen on the front end, the better off you are when we get to a K-12 process," said Durant.
He believes getting this program will benefit more than just the district.
"We're talking about having a community impact, in regards to impacting all students in the community. Whether they end up in TPS, a charter school, public school or private, that we know that when a child goes through this process, that they are prepared and ready starting their educational endeavors," said Durant.

In 1997 the committee published Reproductive Health in Developing Countries: Expanding Dimensions, Building Solutions, a report that recommended actions to improve reproductive health for women around the world. As a follow- on activity, the committee proposed an investigation into the social and economic consequences of maternal morbidity and mortality. With funding from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the U.S. Agency for International Development, the committee organized a workshop on this topic in Washington, DC, on October 19-20, 1998.
The Consequences of Maternal Morbidity and Maternal Mortality assesses the scientific knowledge about the consequences of maternal morbidity and mortality and discusses key findings from recent research. Although the existing research on this topic is scarce, the report drew on similar literature on the consequences of adult disease and death, especially the growing literature on the socioeconomic consequences of AIDS, to look at potential consequences from maternal disability and death.

* The new camera will be used mostly to take photos at birthdays, holidays, family vacations, and the kids/family dogs running around.
* The new camera needs to have good ISO performance and/or flash performance for different lighting conditions.
Based on these criteria, I've narrowed it down to the G15 and G1X, and I'm leaning toward the G15, because the reviews I've read state the G1X has slow autofocus, which could cause problems when she tries to take photos of the dogs and kids running around.
What do you guys think would be the best camera for my mom?
I had both the G12 and G1X. Was not happy with either. Gave the G12 to my 62 year old mother for purposes similar to what you mention above. She never uses it unfortunately. Just was not intuitive to her I guess and she has a PhD so it is not a matter of intelligence. Even the G12 is slow to focus and not ideal for catching kids or animals. A lot of shots will be missed...
I got rid of the G1X as well. I loved its image quality and shots of adults or scenery were very good as long as I had a couple of seconds to compose the shot...Its autofocus was slow and time between shots was terrible. Enough to frustrate me and eventually dump it for 60% of what I paid for it...
Not sure if the Canon SX50 (Amazon link below) would be any better or not but you might want to look at it as well. Take your mom to a store and see which one she seems "comfortable" with. If she is comfortable then she will pick it up and use it. If not it will just grow dust like the one I gave to my mom...Good luck.

Martin Prado ready to contribute for Diamondbacks
Originally published: Jan 31, 2013 - 2:58 pm
All-Star do-everything player Martin Prado signed a four-year contract extension with the Diamondbacks Thursday, and joined Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo to talk about his new deal and his new team.
"It was hard for me because I had spent my whole career with the Braves and I grew up in that organization," Prado said. "I was surprised but I think that sometimes things happen for a good reason."
Prado is a very versatile player who has played every defensive position except center field and catcher in his seven-year Major League career. Prado is expected to be the Diamondbacks' every day third baseman, where he's played just 191 games in his career, but the Venezuelan is just happy to be anywhere on the field.
"I'm a team guy and I understand that people like to see me playing second base, there's so many people that like to see me playing left field, there's so many people that like to see me playing third base or shortstop, but I'm one of those guys that I just want to be in the lineup for my team," Prado said. "The best position for me is just being in there and doing my best and giving one hundred percent for my team -- that's the best position I can play."
In addition to his many on-field strengths, Prado is also considered a great clubhouse presence.
"Off the field, I wanted to be the best person I could be to make everything around me better and I want my teammates to know I support them when we're out there playing on the field and I support them when I'm off the field," Prado said. "When they need a friend, I was there for every single guy in my clubhouse and I want to make all my teammates feel comfortable to be around me."
Prado's departure wasn't easy for his Braves teammates either. The veteran says he received a goodbye text message from every player on the team.
"That means a lot to me, that means everything I did for the team, they appreciated it and that makes everything easier for me."

ELWOOD, Ind. —
A two-vehicle crash in northern Madison County shut down a main highway Wednesday morning and sent three people to the hospital.
According to a press release from the Madison County Sheriff's Department, the accident happened about 6:15 a.m. near the intersection of Indiana 37 and 128, south of Elwood, and caused Indiana 37 to be shut down.
A westboound 2005 green Kia driven by Susan Knuckles, 53, of Alexandria, failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection. The vehicle collided with a northbound 2009 Ford truck driven by 28-year-old Evan Alexander of Indianapolis. Both drivers were transported to St. Vincent Mercy Hospital in Elwood with complaints of pain after the accident. A passenger in the truck, 38-year-old Chad Whistler of Pendleton, was also hospitalized with a complaint of pain.
A guardrail at the scene of the crash was heavily damaged, police said.
According to the release, the use of seat belts and airbags most likely prevented serious injuries.

The Unexpected War –
All the politicians and military personnel involved in this current events history come across as not being able to provide
Ostensibly for the restitution of the Afghan government, the broader view of the Afghan geopolitical landscape is that of an American imperial conflict to control the territory for both oil and natural gas resources and to isolate and contain Russian and Chinese moves into
It is this ignorance of both American intentions and of the actual situation and its complexities within the region that have led to so many problems for the Canadian military – now nearing its first century of 100 killed in combat – and for its interpretation and attempts to garner public support for it in
The authors do provide a reasonable if brief background to the situation in Afghanistan, starting with the Russian invasion – perhaps one could call it assistance as the Americans tend to do for their client states. No mention is made however of the Brzezinski comments about having the CIA operate within Afghanistan prior to this date to create a more destabilized situation that would draw the Soviets in. The artificiality of the border, the Durrand Line, that cuts through Pashtun territory, leaving them split between Afghanistan and Pakistan, is recognized as being a significant factor in developments. Also recognized is the American support of the Pakistani ISI through generous CIA monetary donations and military supplies, in particular the effective Stinger missiles. Another missed factor is the broader effort by the Americans to develop the overall mujahideen fighting force throughout the region.[1]
While the U.S. (and thus Canada) thought they faced only "stabilization and reconstruction," the authors' conclusion is that "Ignorance and arrogance were both at play in this judgment."
From there, the book develops the Canadian story, a typical history of who said what to whom, or how they remembered saying what to whom. The theme of "maintaining credibility" vis a vis the Americans is reiterated continually: getting Canada "off the hook" in Iraq, the "tremendous pressure on the politicians" from the military concerning the BMD, fear that Canada "will alienate the White House," and again, "a renewed sense of urgency to do something significant to offset" the Iraq decision…Afghanistan seemed a logical place to start….an initiative that would impress the Pentagon," and one of Stephen Harper's favourites, to "make a mark for Canada in the world." Later in the book the theme returns as the military is accused "of working with their friends in Washington to drive policy," and that "Canada's military missions were largely, if not exclusively, determined on the basis of Ottawa's relationship with the United States," to the point of "obsession."
To front all this, both Canadian governments (Liberal and Conservative, almost equivalent to the Democrats and Republicans respectively) have applied much spin doctoring to the Canadian public through a typically compliant media that also seemed as ignorant of the real situation as the politicians are. As with the Americans, it is about establishing freedom and democracy, in the western image, in an area where tribal and village governance was generally not a concern of the central government in Kabul.
Canadian ignorance also follows the American line on the global war on terror as being a global battle to defeat militant Islamists wherever they are. The authors' correctly identify the Afghanistan position as being a Muslim society "inflamed by local grievances, with a local political agenda…The Taliban are local, sons of the soil of the Pashtun," something few Canadian politicians are able to recognize, among their other areas of ignorance.
Although both major parties hold responsibility for Canada being in Afghanistan, it has became "a defining feature of [Harper's] government." Under his leadership, parliament was given "a woefully inadequate amount of time" for a debate in a "Parliament that was largely ignorant of Afghanistan." Implicit in the writing is the view that "Harper was displaying a lack of respect for Parliament even as he was manipulating the vote for political purposes." He used the Bushism "Canada will not cut and run from Afghanistan", and his view also included that of "retribution for 9/11."
The final chapter questions the future, wondering how Canada will decide to proceed in Afghanistan. Since the book was written Harper applied his political skills well, manipulating parliament, in particular the Liberals who had started it all, into supporting an extension into 2011. The situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated significantly, and with Bush's new inclusion of Pakistan in the Islamist war front (where it has been for some time but not necessarily as perceived by Bush) the situation will degrade even further. That also adds another dimension of ignorance to the Canadian forces and Canadian politicians as they presumably know less about the convoluted nature of both Pakistan's internal affairs and its foreign affairs vis a vis Afghanistan and India. Two other aspects to consider are Canada's relationship with NATO, an area that receives many questions in the final section, and the question of international law.
Harper is currently in an election in Canada, being held prematurely against his own law to have a fixed date election every four years (another Harper contrivance to American expectations) except in case of a vote of confidence (not taken). His timing could be argued to place his government ahead of the coming recession and to avoid having to discuss more foreign interventions with the arrival of a newly mandated American government, of which both American parties are intending to increase military involvement in Afghanistan and Pakistan, a dangerous and ignorant extension of past disastrous policies. Given Canada's military tendency to fawn over the American military, and Harper's disguised right wing militancy, it would not be surprising to see Canada continue alongside the Americans in an extended war should Harper win the election.
The issue before the Canadian electorate should not be considered one of the concept of "traditional peacekeeper" as opposed to a warrior status against a "counterinsurgent" (or invader or occupier in other peoples' terms), but one of independence of Canadian foreign policy versus a fawning subservience to an American foreign policy that has brought death and destruction to many parts of the world.
That could well be volume two of this work. More ignorance, more western style arrogance, more obeisance to American desires, and "The Unexpected War" will continue longer than anticipated. The authors have constructed a well-written current events history of Canada's involvement in Afghanistan alongside U.S. interests, and while there are some minor omissions in their initial summary of events, the general picture is clear, direct, and with appropriate questions applied. I would hope that five years from now, a volume two will not be able to be written.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – California, Minnesota and others interviewed Charlie Strong for their football jobs. They all considered Strong a runner-up.
Five times Jeff Walz interviewed for head-coaching positions at women's basketball programs that were no better than wannabe winners. Five times Walz whiffed. In baseball terms, Dan McDonnell, coach of the University of Louisville baseball team, was also 0-for-5 in pursuit of his first head coaching job.
Now Strong has won a Sugar Bowl and built a program that will start the 2013 season ranked in the Top 10. Walz has coached in two national championship games. McDonnell is taking the Cardinals on their second College World Series journey.
Before he saw net-cutting and celebratory dog piles, U of L athletic director Tom Jurich saw something in Strong, Walz and McDonnell that others missed or ignored.
"I'd much rather go through the learning curve than have somebody who is resting on their laurels,'' Jurich said. "We're going to give them enough support around them to let them be successful.
"I look for people who have the same passion that I do. That's the most important thing to me. If we get people like that, they turn their hard work into having fun. I think people want to work here. I think people want to come to Louisville."
Some athletic programs have their own television networks. Others have mammoth football stadiums. A few control entire states. There aren't many places more passionate about college sports than Louisville. But this isn't Florida, Texas, California or close to a Top 10 area for producing athletes.
Still, Jurich has taken three guys who were surrounded by rejection letters and teamed them with Rick Pitino in his coaching stable. Now Louisville is celebrating a season unlike any other.
By now, everybody knows the list of U of L's signature accomplishments during this academic year – BCS Bowl win over Florida; runner-up finish in women's basketball; championship in men's basketball and College World Series.
What everybody forgets is that Jurich and U of L have delivered this success with coaches that any athletic director could have hired, but many rejected. McDonnell said on Monday that coaches in the college baseball fraternity consider Jurich the best athletic director in the nation. Ditto for Walz.
"Tom wants to win, but all athletic directors want to win," Walz said. "He has a tremendous ability to make every coach and every athlete in all the programs believe their sport is important.
"He takes the time to learn the names of the players, address them by their first names and learn about their lives. He'll ask them questions. He's not just a figurehead administrator. He cares about people – and kids appreciate that."
There were reasons Strong, Walz and McDonnell were career assistants before Jurich hired them. Strong worried that administrators were scared by his interracial marriage. The word in the athletic director grapevine was Strong also struggled to express himself in interviews.
Strong built some of the best defenses in college football at Florida. Nobody was in a rush to hire him.
Walz stutters. He is certain his speech problem was an issue that scared people. How would Walz represent a school in the media or at public speaking opportunities? He was a highly regarded assistant at Maryland, but assistant coaches don't have public relations demands that head coaches do.
"I'd walk out of interviews and know I wasn't going to get the job because I could tell by how the athletic director reacted (to his stuttering)," Walz said.
McDonnell's problem was his passion. McDonnell said that after his fourth or fifth rejection, his older brother, also a coach, told him that he might be scaring athletic directors by sharing all of his plans for building a great program.
Play the game. Tell the AD what the AD wants to hear. Don't risk making a potential boss worry they were about to hire a guy who would always want more, more, more. McDonnell was a prime assistant coach at Mississippi but not every school was prepared to make a commitment to baseball like Ole Miss.
McDonnell said he didn't want to compromise. He wanted to be himself, a guy consumed by the challenge of competing at the highest level.
McDonnell didn't change. He didn't have to.
He met Tom Jurich.
McDonnell said Jurich picked him up at the airport for his job interview. McDonnell had been on the road to attend a graduation ceremony and packed only two polo shirts – one white, the other blue. He wore the white one and made an immediate connection.
Walz can relate to that moment. He arrived for his interview dressed for success. The first thing Jurich told him was to remove the jacket and tie. They talked for 90 minutes at a restaurant in a downtown hotel.
Jurich did more than tell Walz not to worry about his stutter. He told Walz they'd find the best speech therapist in the area to help him speak confidently with fewer issues. And he has.
Walz and McDonnell knew they wanted to come to Louisville. And stay at Louisville. And win at Louisville, just like Charlie Strong and the other coaches that Tom Jurich has assembled.

South America makes up the southern half of the Americas and a large part of Latin America. It's home to the world's longest mountain range, biggest waterfall and largest river -- even these mammoths pale in comparison to the stunning variety of life forms thriving in the rainforest.
To the northwest, off the coast of Ecuador, lie the Galapagos Islands, which are unique for hosting species not found anywhere else on earth. These were the subject of study for Charles Darwin in his theory of evolution, which he himself said will require proof in every single case.
The main languages in South America are Spanish and Portugese, which basically tells you which European countries colonized the place. The South American wars of independence took place over two decades in the early 19th century, led by Simon Bolivar of Venezuela and Jose san Martin of Argentina.
Following liberation from Portugal and Spain, South America took off into its own development, capitalizing on the rich deposits of oil, gold, copper, silver and tango musicians.
Brazil is the largest country in South America and home to one of the world's best parties, Carnaval. Have you heard of samba music? How about bossa nova? Maybe dancing for three days straight?
I can't say enough good things about South America. All the world's continents have amazing secrets and treasures laying in wait for your discovery, but in South America... just have a look at our pictures while you're waiting for online confirmation of your plane tickets to hit your inbox.

SOHH Whatcha Think: Drake's 'Take Care' Leaks: Early Thoughts & Sales Predictions? [Click Here & Speak]
Monday, Nov 7, 2011 12:05AM
Welp, another YMCMB production is spreading across the internet faster that a celebrity sex tape. You would think after Weezy's C4 spilled into public hands before its official release date that greater precautions would be taken to make sure Drake's sophomore LP didn't suffer the same fate, but think again. Take Care has leaked, and if you listen close enough, you can hear millions of copies being downloaded at this very second.
Prior to the album's release, Drizzy hit us with the singles "Headlines" and "Marvin's Room". Like his pre-album singles from his debut, these tracks became wildly popular on commercial radio. Not a bad way to build up anticipation for your second disc. Add this to the fact that he's been working on this project for some time, and people have been waiting to see if this new one could outdo the acclaim and sales of his previous effort.
I'm predicting between 350-450K album's sold for Take Care's first week. What kind of numbers are you expecting it to put up? Also, for those of you that have heard the ... advanced version of this release, how does it stack up to Thank Me Later?
Check out Drake featuring The Weeknd with "Crew Love":

my recent behavior.
September 10, 2011
ugh. earlier this week someone i don't know very well but think is a decent human being (as i try to think most human beings are) made some comments about passing. it really bothered me at the time but i was not in an emotional or mental space where i could mention that their words were hurtful and harmful. i think i made a joke about their words being transphobic and they joked back about it. but overall, the interaction has made me feel … ever since. i can't really do anything about it now apart from think about how i want to handle this type of situation in the future.
we (and by that, i mean my friends and the people i discuss such things with) talk about power all the time. having it, not having it, dealing with power imbalances. my stance on power, or how i want to deal with power, having power, sharing power, being empowered often becomes a discussion of how power is not a zero sum game. just because you have power doesn't mean i am powerless. that we can have equal power in any given situation and that i can have power (or become powerful) even in situations that make me feel powerless.
the power i have had in situations in which i feel powerless is usually connected to the way i react to feeling powerless. i have control over my reaction in this situation, any given situation.
right now my reaction to events and situations in my life is to detach from them. not in a "live the moment, live in the present, experience this moment and move on" type of buddhist detachment. no, more in a "this is something happening to someone else" type detachment. in many ways that is how this feels. i am an outsider. recent events have made me feel unimportant, invisible, small, inconsequential, an afterthought. so i react as such and am treating myself as such.
i was asked by a friend how i was feeling. we don't ask these things as a courtesy. i heard myself telling my friend in this dead, flat voice how i felt and laughing at it despite the fact that the things i was talking about were very painful for me. my friend joked with me and then told me their friend had just been suddenly killed in an accident. we sat there for a moment and my friend looked up and said "why am i telling you like this?" and i said "because it is the only way you can right now." there was a lot of unspoken understanding there and if we were that type of friend i would have taken their hand. but we aren't and i don't want us to be. i don't want anyone to be right now because the idea of someone touching me makes me want to throw up (and i am not saying that in a "gag me with a spoon" type way)
i can deal with a lot of things through humor despite the fact that i lack a sense of one. it is the way i phrase things and maybe the look on my face that makes things seem so funny at times. its that i can say this awful horrible thing in this dead voice that makes us all night dance party instead of lay on the ground sobbing.
i can't process this right now because there is too much i need to do. actual physical things with real time constraints. for now i can take someone's (sorry, unjustified) anger. right now i can wear a small cloak of shame and self-hatred and be okay with that. it isn't very heavy and the temperatures outside are getting colder. i know i did not create this situation but i did play into it. play fantasy, play house, play drama, play play. yes, everyone (EVERYone) warned me. but i wanted to believe. because i am a believer. in words and actions and other things too personal and intimate to reveal here (believe it or not!)
because for once, despite the voice inside that tells me no, i said yes. and okay, it was a risk that did not pan out, a gamble i lost, a wager gone bad. but it was and – despite my detachment and threats given in defense and silence (which will be making the rounds) – it did feel powerful and someday, i will feel that way again.
wake up to a text from kisha in the next room "erasmus is having a seizure and pooping on my bed" jump out of bed, tangled in dirty clothes, clean clothes, books, zines, and bed clothes. they are both outside. erasmus seems fine but kisha is crying and shaking.
it is true erasmus has been acting weird. he shit in my room last week but i thought it was because of the storms. that and dave locking him in my room all day. then he shit in the basement twice. i thought this was because he doesn't like dave. he generally hates cis-men – a dog raised primarily around queer individuals. the only lady person he has every not liked was my emotionally vague ex girlfriend, but even then there was an excuse. he doesn't like when other people sleep in our bed.
the last pet i had that had a seizure i had to put down or asleep or whatever euphemism makes me feel not-too-terrible on any given day. it was sebastard the cat. i tell kisha this in a flat voice. this is one of those times i am going numb numb numb.
the flat voice sounds like my mother's.
i had to call my parents. this is like getting in bed with the devil. when erasmus got an ear infection carrie loaned me the money to take him to the vet. these are the moments that my parents cherish. this is one for the record. when they scream "you are not an adult" because i am doing something they don't like. something like selling my house and moving to detroit, like moving to the south side, like being queer, like being fat, like writing. you know, everything i just AM and love. it is those screaming moments (oh and you know, everything in between) when i imagine living in a cardboard box anything to never have to ask or take money from them again.
"you can't even take care of yourself!" i can already hear them shouting some fight down the road. i can take care of myself, but it isn't just me. it's erasmus, too. they will change their attack plan. "you can't even take care of a dog!"
i am going to sit outside with erasmus until i have to go to work. i can hear his extra long toenails clicking on the pavement as he races back-and-forth in the alley between fort mortgage and the three flat next door. he seems okay. pissing on every upright piece of grass (as well as some that aren't so upright). kisha is going to hang with him until the vet appointment.
yes, i could start some online "please give me money" campaign. andrea owly is always stomping her foot when she complains about those things but honestly, people like erasmus more than they like me. i may be the brains, but he is the beauty in the relationship.
when we are living in that cardbox, i always imagine us healthy.
I have been having a lot of "I thought you were my friend" moments lately.
I have also been starting a lot of fights.
These are the worst.
What I didn't do over my summer vacation.
July 29, 2011
I would like to title this "The Summer of the Flake" as I have been flaking out of responsibilities left and right. Unfortunately, I will not be in DC this weekend due to work obligations and financial woes. Boo! Hiss! You can read over here about how a perzine is different from a music zine, with Your Secretary as the example. I tend not to agree with the writers assertions, but (if you know me, you know) I tend to not agree with anyone about anything. I am learning how to disagree in a kinder, gentler fashion though.
Have no fear! Heather will be in DC with Stranger Danger. You can pick up copies of various issues of Your Secretary as well as handfuls of awesome zineage from her. She really likes Bud Lite Lime if you are so inclined.
Also, in the press leading up to the DC Zine Fest Jenna Brager answers the burning question, "What is the worst zine ever?"
try it, you will like it
July 26, 2011
I confess that this survey posted by the organizers of the Portland Zine Symposium to help with the 2nd Annual Zinester Feud is an awful lot of fun to fill out.
John Stevens, Debbie Rassuman, Jenna Freedman, and Celia Perez (not pictured) were the core participants in the tour. It was great getting to know them on the dates I could attend. Here they pose in Milwaukee's finest erotic boutique The Tool Shed which hosted the final stop of the tour.
I handed over the zine grab box to Debbie for the Fly Away Zine mobile. I had been using the grab box as a promotional and fundraising tool for the tour. Thanks to Edie Fake for designing the box. I owe him about a hundred bubble teas for being so rad.
Here are all the amazing readers from the Milwaukee date: Nico, Christopher from QZAP, Jami Sailor, Jessica Bublitz of Bottles on the Sill, John Stevens, Debbie Rassuman, and Jenna Freedman. I am so sorry girl to the far right. I do not know your name.
Most importantly, I read with my fly down.
burning down the house
July 24, 2011
sometimes mckinley park feels like home. not only is it the furthest south in chicago i have lived, it is also (by one street!) the furthest east. today i was driving home from a hellish round of errands which included getting stuck in manchester united v. fire traffic both coming and going as well as a jaunt down to confusing-as-fuck hyde park. it was one of those "i already feel like shit" kind of days that makes you think fast food could possibly be a good idea. i snaked my way home through my neighborhood, a section of stand alone homes that sits east of the actual park and north of the stockyards. on this expedition i saw the most decrepit and forlorn bounce house/jumpy castle ever to grace the hot chicago asphalt. this thing looked like it should be condemned and was a part of the usual lemonade-and-hot dog cake walk that constitutes an urban block party. after i came to my street i was greeted by water. lots of water. copious amounts. noah proportions and not from the storm my birthday party encountered last night. no, someone had reopened our block's fire hydrant and it was going full blast onto the east side of the street, creating a sheet of water for cars to drive through and a foot and a half of water at the curbs. a man was trying to close the hydrant with a wrench he must have borrowed from super mario brothers. a woman was berating him in spanish and little kids were gazing longingly at the spray. on our side of the street the regulars were out. the drunks drinking negro modelo in the shade, the old lady with her broom and pissy one-eyed dog trying in vain to stop the water from encroaching on her hand cut tree lawn, and the dudes who live next store whispering "is that the one who changes in front of the window?" as i passed by them.
sometimes the southside reminds me of home because it is so fucked up and i come from a fucked up place where people are out actively fucking up and actively trying to stop each other from fucking up.
and, of course, sometimes people feel like home, something about them that you feel you could crawl up inside and sit down for a while. like a house. like a neighborhood. well-worn roads and secret passageways you did not expect. the kind of casual comfort that makes the above scene so humorous. you are laughing because you are on the same page, the same side of the street, wading knee-deep in chicago river sewer run off, what the fuck.
i did not expect to find a home right now. everything is up in the air – where i am going to work, where i am going to live, when any of this is going to happen, who my friends are and who i can trust, even who i am at times. i did not expect to find something i wanted to stick with because i never find things i want to stick with.
i am so sad right now, forcing myself to look away.
right now, i wish this house could float away on a salt river for all i care.
Ego Baby #2 // This is Invisible #0
July 23, 2011
This was the second split zine I ever made and much like the first split zine I made with Shaun it had a size and shape that made it difficult to copy. I remember Ellie one day saying, "Have you ever seen a circular zine? That would be cool."
I am so excited to be posting scans from Ellie's zine This is Invisible #0 as well. I think Ellie did all the copying and cutting for this zine. I remember pasting them together on the 2 day car ride from Detroit to Portland for the 2004 Portland Zine Symposium.
Text: "At some point, someone stopped urging you to be creative. Someone told you that you couldn't play all day, that you couldn't have imaginary friends. They washed the paint of your fingers. They told you the things y umade weren't good enough. They donated your toys or sold them in a garage sale. They told you that you couldn't sleep when you felt tired, eat when you felt hungry, laugh when something was funny, or cry when you were hurt. They told you that you had to pay attention even when it was boring. They told you that you couldn't be an individual. At some point, someone told you that you had to grow up. Andy you believed them."
A physical copy of Ego Baby #2 // This is Invisible #0 can be seen at the Underground exhibit at Woman Made Gallery through August 18th.
July 19, 2011
i am still trying to process what happened today. patrons have been really sedate and i think the heat has been keeping the library rather calm. toward the end of the day whoever was supposed to be running reference had left the desk and a man at computer #25 started convulsing and keeled over onto the teenage boy using computer #26. despite the teenage boy frantically waving me over, it took me awhile to figure out what was going on. this is the moment i realized (or it was reaffirmed) that i am not responsible or more accurately, that i do not want to be responsible. that like that boy, i was looking around thinking "who is going to take care of this?!" i ran behind circulation to get someone to help while the man started to foam at the mouth onto our newly cleaned carpeting. at first the circulation manager ignored me. "someone is convulsing on the floor" i kept repeating. finally she rolled her eyes at me and said "call 911." i still just stood there. she called instead.
at the library, i have no power. when i got hired i was given a worksheet which was insensitively titled "the totem pole." it listed all the positions at the library and i was instructed to place them in hierarchial order. "where do you think you are on this totem pole?" my boss asked me. "the bottom?" i quandried. "no. you are not even on the totem pole"
whenever something happens at the library like a patron ODing or someone yelling at me for ten minutes because i cannot give them tax advice or a patron asking me what color my pubic hair is and i have a minor freak out, i am told that i will get used to it.
guess what? i am not going to get used to it. this behavior is always going to upset me. call me overly sensitive but things like a 6'7″ man towering over me and calling me a little bitch is always going to bring me to the verge of tears.
when i was talking about this with carrie and dave roche after work, dave said "that is okay. i don't think you should get used to behavior like that" or something equally dave roche-esque, amazing and affirming.
i remember the first time my brother had a seizure i crawled under my mom's desk, the same one from my childhood but in a different room. i remember rocking back and forth, patting my hair the way i do when i am trying to calm myself down. "please don't die please don't die don't leave me here alone with them."
it is hard enough being the youngest child, i thought at my brother in that moment. please don't make me be the only child.
please don't leave me here, the only surviving child.
after the emts came and it was explained that this patron has seizures at the library every once in awhile, i was lucky enough to be sharing the reference desk with the children's librarian. she looked away politely as i cried onto steve's old laptop.
the people who care about me (and i include my co-workers in this category) know me as someone who is always telling jokes and laughing, but are also aware that at any moment i could collapse into a nervous wreck. i am going to be thirty two this friday and it is unlikely this will change as i get older. i have changed a lot, but slamming doors and raised voices are probably always going to make me nervous.
i am trying to be okay with that.
The Orderly Disorder Zinester Librarians in Circulation Tour is on its way. You can read its progress here. I will be reading at the Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, and Milwaukee dates. Other participants are Jenna Freedman (Lower East Side Librarian), Celia Perez (I Dreamed I Was Assertive), Debbie Rassmussen (Fly Away Zine Mobile), and John Stevens (Dilettantes & heartless manipulators)
Here is more info:
- Cleveland JULY 3 at Barking Spider Tavern, 6:30 pm (here)

- Chicago JULY 6 at Quimby's, 7 pm (here)(here)
- Milwaukee JULY 7 at the Tool Shed, 8 pm (with Jessica Bublitz and Christopher Wilde) (here)
- Weed This! – this was made for Collection Development and functioned as an outline for a class presentation.
- RATS and MICE: Vision and Revision in the Adult Playground – this goes along with the Times Square bibliography you can find on this site. It was made as an outline for a presentation for Archives and Collective Memory (one the favorite classes of my library school career) The copying on this thing is shit, but beggars be not chosers.

Black Girl In Suburbia is a feature documentary that looks into the experiences of black girls growing up in predominately white communities. This is a different look into suburbia from the perspective of women of color. This film explores through professional and personal interviews the conflict and issues black girls have relating to both white and black communities.
There are many girls out there who have stories to tell about struggle and triumph, but have never had an outlet to share. That's why this film is so important!
Black Girl In Suburbia intends to spark an open dialogue about race, identity, and perspective among all people. In hopes that these discussions will allow us to look at perceptions of ourselves, others and the community we live in as a whole.
Our June 7th premiere and June 29th screening was AMAZING! Thank you so much supporters for receiving and being open to what BGS has to offer. BGS has been well received and has officially started a community conversation! This is AWESOME and so needed!

The National Transportation Safety Board is still investigating the scene where a Piper PA-44 crashed on Monday night.
The plane with two people on board crashed at 7:10 p.m., 4 miles east of Brunswick Golden Isles Airport in Brunswick, according to the FAA. The plane departed from Concord, NC, and was headed to the Jacksonville Executive Airport/Craig Field near Jacksonville, FL. The aircraft is not registered in North Carolina.
Police Chief Matt Doering briefed the media at a news conference Tuesday afternoon about the crash. Officials said that they have not yet recovered the plane. They believe it's in the water at Wally's Leg near Mackay's River.
They are using sonar and have detected an area of interest and have divers in the water. They have recovered a few pieces of the plane but not enough to identify it.
Investigators said they do not believe weather was a factor in the crash. Officials said no distress call was made nor did the plane try to make contact to Brunswick Airport prior to crashing.
The FAA is investigating the crash. The NTSB will work to determine the probable cause of the crash.
Investigators plan to search until dark and continue searching on Wednesday.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This is a full length route up one of the proudest sections of the Ophir Wall. The pitches are well-thought-out and although it is possible to rap with just one 60 meter rope from bomber bolted anchors, having two ropes might be a good idea considering the area's reputation. The protection is mostly good, with a smattering of bolts on several pitches. Actually, some pitches have no bolts and some are exclusively bolt protected, notably the crux pitch. All the pitches except one are "moderate" and it is possible to pull through the crux pitch at A0. This is one of the best routes in the Telluride region, with consistent quality, length, and stunning position to its credit. The crux pitch is HARD for those who hope to free it. (Has this even had a second free ascent yet?) This route needs to see more traffic, so...get on it!!
Looking at the Ophir Wall, it climbs the right side of the wall, through a huge roof system on clean (for Ophir!) rock.
Wires, Tricams, gear to 2".

About the Symposium
With the continued dramatic growth of international commerce, a critical question has become even more important: What law governs the contracts behind the commerce? Key issues include:
The Hague Principles on Choice of Law in International Contracts, prepared by the Hague Conference on Private International Law and now nearing completion, are expected to be quite influential, both in establishing the principle of party autonomy to select the law governing commercial contracts and in developing the principle and its limits.
This symposium addresses the important issues described above – from the perspectives of both current law and the "best practices" represented by the draft Hague Principles.

Reddit Brony says he was fired for loving 'My Little Pony'
One disgruntled Brony, as adult male "My Little Pony" fans are called, complained on Reddit that he was let go from his job for his choice of TV show.
Reddit user FiredBrony explained his situation to the "My Little Pony" community and stressed that he didn't let his love of the show distract him from his job. "I think of myself as a fairly big fan, but I'm not one of those people who walk around with a shirt of Rainbow Dash 24/7," wrote FiredBrony.
He said his first offense was changing his computer background to a picture of one of the cartoon characters, and when his boss confronted him about the picture, he changed it back. Then, during take your child to work day, FiredBrony's boss's daughter came in wearing a Rainbow Dash shirt and more trouble brewed. "I told her I liked her shirt, something innocent the same way people go 'those are some cool shoes' to a kid, nothing weird at all. After the day is done, my boss brings me into his office and confronts me about it, telling me again he thinks it's weird and to cut it out at work.'"
Finally, last week FiredBrony's coworkers were discussing Brony culture, which has become something of an Internet phenomenon, and began to mock FiredBrony. "Then yesterday my boss called me into his office, told me people were uncomfortable working with me and that they were going to have to let me go," he wrote. "Can they even fire me for that?"
Though the father of a 10-year-old boy seemed humiliated by his treatment in the office, he was glad to leave his "boring" 9-to-5 job and says he has better job options on the horizon. He closed his post on Reddit by saying, "Now if you'll excuse me I've got some My Little Pony to watch."
Bronies have become the Trekkies of the 21st century, capturing the attention of curious people who can't understand why grown men would spend their spare time watching "My Little Pony." One filmmaker even made a documentary about them called "Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony" that chronicles the diverse adult fans of "My Little Pony" and their backstories. There is also an annual BronyCon in the U.S. for fans of the show.

A small formation that sits to the northwest and slightly downhill from the Lower Gibraltar (Lieback Annie/Rapture) area. Some fun moderate topropes and harder leads can be found here, and all routes can be easily toproped. Two sets of bolted anchors atop the formation.
Getting There
Park at the next major turnout uphill from the parking area for Lower Gibraltar. Hike down the ridge to the west and cut left when the ridgeline ends. A short scramble through loose dirt and brush gets you to the backside of Phantom Rock. Get to the base via one of two ways: rap in from the top, or scramble down right around the base towards a large oak tree. The striking dihedral near the oak tree is Scorpion Exile (5.10a).

From the Alabama Department of Health
Higher than normal levels of influenza activity are currently being reported in both Alabama and the U.S. Reports of influenza-like illness have been above Alabama's baseline for significant activity for seven consecutive weeks. More specimens have already been submitted this season than in the 2011-2012 season, which was considered mild.
Seasonal influenza is not a reportable disease, so the Alabama Department of Public Health cannot provide absolute numbers of influenza cases in Alabama. Two surveillance networks, ILINet and SpeciNet, are used to obtain information on influenza activity, and participation in both is completely voluntary.
Rosemary Blackmon, executive vice president of the Alabama Hospital Association, said, "We have heard numerous stories of hospitals with high volumes of flu patients, both those treated in the emergency department and those who are being admitted. At this point, although many hospitals are full, they are able to effectively care for the patients they have and, to our knowledge, are not asking for additional resources. They are taking extra precautions by requesting visitors avoid coming to the hospital if they think they might be sick."
Flu is a very contagious respiratory illness, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention emphasizes that the best way to prevent it is to get vaccinated each year. CDC has also stated the vaccine is a good match to the circulating viruses. At this time, there are no vaccine shortages in the state and all county health departments have vaccine available.
Although influenza vaccination is recommended for all individuals 6 months and older, it is especially important to consider for the following people who are at higher risk of influenza-related complications:
The public is also reminded of the importance of following basic infection control measures to help prevent the spread of the flu. These include covering the mouth and nose with a tissue or cloth when coughing and sneezing, washing hands frequently, and staying at home when sick.
Dr. Donald Williamson, state health officer, said. "The CDC warns that even healthy people can get very sick from the flu and spread it to others. It's not too late to get a flu shot to protect against this serious disease. People become protected about two weeks after receiving the vaccine."
A person with the flu may have some or all of these symptoms: fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, headache, muscle aches and often extreme fatigue. At present, there is no widespread shortage of antiviral medications (sold commercially as Tamiflu and Relenza) which may slow the spread of influenza. Should routine supplies and procurement options be exhausted, a cache of surge supplies and equipment is available.
Contact your private health care provider, pharmacy or your local county health department to receive an influenza vaccination. For more information contact the Immunization Division of the Alabama Department of Public Health at (334) 206-5023 or toll free at 800-469-4599.

A new collection of stories by Mavis Gallant is always a major publishing event. For this is the writer who–like Margaret Atwood and Alice Munro–has made Canadian short stories a presence on the world literary scene, and on our bestseller lists.
In Across the Bridge four of the eleven stories are connected, following the fortunes of the Carette family in Montreal. In "1933" their widowed mother teaches Berthe and Marie to deny that she was a seamstress and to say instead that she was "clever with her hands." In "The Chosen Husband" the luckless suitor Louis has to undergo the front-parlour scrutiny of Marie's mother and sister: "But then Louis began to cough and had to cover his mouth. He was in trouble with a caramel. The Carettes looked away, so that he could strangle unobserved. 'How dark it is,' said Berthe, to let him think he could not be seen."
We then follow their marriage, the birth of Raymond, and Raymond's flight from his mother and aunt to his eventual role as a motel manager in Florida. "'The place was full of Canadians,' he said. 'They stole like raccoons...'"
With the exception of "The Fenton Child," an eerie story set in postwar Montreal, the other stories take place in the Paris Mavis Gallant knows so well. "Across the Bridge," the title story, begins with the narrator's mother throwing her reluctant daughter's wedding invitations into the Seine. "I watched the envelopes fall in a slow shower and land on the dark water and float apart. Strangers leaned on the parapet and stared, too, but nobody spoke."
This is a superb collection of stories by a writer at the top of her form.
From the Hardcover edition.
"There isn't a finer writer in the English language."
–Books in Canada
"She is a very good writer indeed."
–The New York Times
"Mavis Gallant is a marvellously clear-headed observer and a rare phrase-maker."
–Times Literary Supplement
"Mavis Gallant writes some of the most superbly crafted and perceptive stories of our time."
–Globe and Mail
"One of the best writers of our language, an artist who is above fad and fashion."
–Saturday Night
From the Hardcover edition.
Born in Montreal in 1922, Mavis Gallant left a career as a leading journalist in that city to move to Paris in 1950 to write.
Since that time she has been publishing stories on a regular basis in The New Yorker, many of which have been anthologized. Her world-wide reputation has been established by books such as From the Fifteenth District and Home Truths, which won the Governor General's Award in 1982. In that same year she was made an Officer of the Order of Canada, becoming a Companion of the Order in 1993, the year that she published Across the Bridge and was the recipient of a special tribute at the Harbourfront International Festival of Authors in Toronto. In 1996, The Selected Stories of Mavis Gallant was published to universal acclaim. Paris Stories, a selection edited by Michael Ondaatje, appeared in 2002, and was followed by the companion volume Montreal Stories, edited by Russell Banks, in 2004.
Gallant is a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. She has received several honorary degrees from Canadian universities and remains a much-sought-after public speaker. In 2001 she became the first winner of the Matt Cohen Award, and in 2002 she won the Blue Metropolis International Literary Grand Prix and the Rea Award for the Short Story.
She continues to live in Paris.
