Online Course Development
Online course development is something you should not attempt just before your class is scheduled to begin, spring and holiday breaks are not enough time to do the job well or right! Today's online learners are quite savvy and have high expectations of their online experiences. Visual learners benefit greatly when concepts are presented using graphics, demos and simulations. Simply posting your class notes or PowerPoint slides does not meet today's standards and expectations of quality online courses.
You should allow no less than 3 months (more is better) to allow enough time to create engaging, bilingual content accessible to students both here on campus and at a distance. Once the initial investment of your time and effort into creating and/or acquiring course content has been made you can reuse these resources repeatedly and efficiently.
Be sure to complete the required workshops prior to developing your first online course. Once you have completed the training, you will need to have a course shell set up for you in Blackboard where you and the instructional designer (ID) can work together to build your course. Cherisse Gardner is currently the instructional designer at the Office of Distance Education. Here are the steps involved in the course development process:
- If you already have a course shell, send a request to the Help Desk to add the ID as "course builder" so the ID has access to the course management tools.
- If the Registrar has not issued a course shell by the time you begin, send a request to Help Desk for a temporary shell for course development.
- Before meeting with the ID, be sure the syllabus has been approved by your department. You can make changes later , but it is best to start with a version reflective of what the department has already "green-lighted".
- The ID will set up the course template and build your syllabus into the online format. Once done, you will get the go-ahead to start the first instructional unit. When you have completed the first unit, the ID will do an instructional design review to make sure the course meets standards according to the Quality Matters TM rubric and give you feedback.
- When you have finished the rest of the course, the ID will make a full course ID review to be sure it is complete and ready for delivery.
Plan to complete your course development two weeks before the class starting date so you have time for adjustments and revisions before students get access. See flow chart to visualize the course development process.

Youth Incarceration Shows Decline in Miss.By Lawayne Childrey | Published 20 Jun 2013 09:27am |
The number of youth confined in Mississippi correctional facilities declined by 48 percent from 2001 to 2010. That's according to a newly released study by the National Juvenile Justice Network. Key policy reforms are being praised for the turnaround.
"The Comeback States" report found that youth confinement in public facilities in Mississippi peaked at 787 in 2000. But by 2010, the states overall youth incarceration rate had dropped to 211 for young people ages 10 to 17. Mark Levin, Director of the Texas Public Policy Foundation for Effective Justice explains what he believes is fueling the trend.
"A lot of this involves evidence and technologies in some case like electronic monitoring and techniques like drug courts for example, things that didn't exist 20 or 30 years ago," explains Levin,
Levin says the decline in youth confinement can also be attributed to a number of actions taken by the Mississippi lawmakers.
"It was a law enacted in Mississippi in 2005 that said they were going to establish community based alternatives to youth incarceration in every county of the state. Then an intensive home based supervision program started in 2010 where you typically will have a juvenile probation officer and perhaps a therapist if there's a mental health issue, come into that home and help to strengthen parents' ability to provide discipline ans structure in that household," he continues.
Jody Owens managing attorney for the Southern Poverty Law Center's Mississippi office embraces the alternatives to incarceration.
"Unfortunately, far too often we've found that if we only have one recipe, we'll keep cooking the same dish, but when we looked at the system and found that that these kids were nonviolent kids, these kids were skipping school, these kids were out past curfew, well those kids don't need to be in jail, the studies continue to show that if we incarcerate a kid, we increase the liklihood that they will find themselves in an adult detention or corrections department," explains Owens.
While Incarceration is declining at youth detention facilities across the state, the Mississippi Department of Corrections is facing a federal lawsuit. It's over deplorable conditions and mistreatment of youth at its East Mississippi Correctional facility.

"I Hate My Mother"
As Marlene approached adolescence, arguments led Marlene to bang her head against a wall or viciously bite her own forearm. She eventually developed scars.
In Marlene's sixth-grade class, the teacher, Mrs. Pasquel, was pregnant. The class discussed motherhood.
Marlene raised her hand. She announced, "I hate my mother."
Marlene said her mother was not her "real" mother since Marlene was adopted.
On another day, Marlene asked Mrs. Pasquel if an adoptee could find her "real" mother. Marlene said Jim had promised to help her learn the woman's name when Marlene turned 21. Marlene did not want to wait.
Mrs. Pasquel said she did not know how to find the biological mother of an adopted child. She said it was not important but could see that Marlene regarded it as important.
In early 1973, Jim was again fired.
Jim found a job in March 1973 for a business management service. The job necessitated a move to Marin County, California.
In California, Marlene entered the last term of eighth grade in an unfamiliar environment.
Marlene became ever more ashamed of her mother and distressed by hearing her talk with phantoms.
The Olive home once again filled with fish tanks before which Naomi sat, chatting with the fish.
When she entered high school, Marlene started stealing. She was first arrested for shoplifting while a ninth-grader.
Naomi forbade Marlene to attend a cousin's wedding. Marlene yelled that her "real mother" would have let her go.
Naomi answered, "Your real mother was probably a whore!"
Soon after this quarrel, Naomi paraded naked in front of Marlene, gyrating her hips, grabbing her crotch, and taunting Marlene that this lewd performance represented what her biological mother was probably like.

The Last Time?
I always told people I wanted "at least 3 kids."
Granted, I didn't expect to have ALL THREE before I turned 28, but nevertheless. Here I sit. Three kids.
Sometimes when I told people that I wanted "at least 3 kids" they would tell me, "You say that now – just wait 'til you HAVE ONE." When I was pregnant they added, "You might change your mind after labor!" (Which, by the way, is a really stupid thing to tell a pregnant woman.)
10 minutes after delivering Madeline I looked Dan square in the eyes and said,
"Just so you know, that wasn't so bad that I couldn't do it again."
After we'd lived with a baby for a little while, and especially after we received Madeline's diagnosis, people continued to ask, and my answer never changed.
"Yes, I want more. Yes, I want at least 3 children. Yes, I'm sure."
"Just wait," they said.
"Wait until you have two," they said.
"Then you'll see," they said.
I smiled politely and suppressed the urge to roll my eyes.
PSA: Please, parents, stop telling people in different stages of life to "Just wait." It's kind of patronizing and rude and it never, ever makes anyone feel better about anything. Stop saying "Wait 'til you have two, wait 'til you have three, wait 'til they start walking, wait 'til they start throwing tantrums, wait 'til they're teenagers." If you want a cookie, just ask for one. But stop telling everyone else to "just wait…"
Thank you.
Now back to your regularly scheduled blog post.
In the delivery room, holding Sam for the first time, I knew: I'm not done. I'm not done being pregnant. I'm not done having kids. This family is beautiful and perfect, but it is not finished.
As I sit here, 36 weeks pregnant with my third child, for the very first time in my life, if someone asked me if I thought I'd have more kids I'd have to answer honestly,
"I don't know."
I know that I don't not want more kids. But this is the first time I've not known with certainty that I do. This is the first time I've even been able to entertain the thought that maybe, just maybe, I won't be pregnant again.
And now, the what-ifs that tag along behind "the unknown" are here en force.
As our little boy gets bigger and bigger, as this pregnancy draws nearer and nearer the end, I can't help but think:
Could this be the last time I feel a baby do a somersault inside of me?
The last day he bumbles around for 30 minutes straight?
The last time I sit on the couch and watch my belly twitch?
The last time I feel the l o n g, s l o w rolls?
The last time I push down and find a foot, or feel a knee bend beneath the pressure of my hand?
Could this be the last time my womb is full?
I don't know.
It might be.
That is maddening to me.
Pregnancy is hard for a lot of reasons, but to think that this might be the last tiny baby that I whisper private whispers to, the last baby that lives on the inside of me before he lives on the outside of me, the last baby that sticks his toes up into my rib cage – it makes me stop.
I know that, sooner or later, this too shall pass – this season of baby-bearing. God knows I won't miss 98% of it. At the risk of sounding terribly, awfully, embarrassingly vain – I mostly want my body back. My breasts have been completely out of control for the last five years (and don't even bother making cheeky comments like "share the wealth," because believe me when I say: if I could afford the surgery, it would have been done yesterday).
But to think that this could be my last tiny little baby makes me forget about the giant bras and maternity pants. It makes me forget, if only for a minute, the discomfort and fatigue.
Because I'll never know whether or not this is the last walloping kick before he's born. The last walloping kick ever?
This is the trouble of having to live life forwards instead of backwards – we just can't know. I could never have known "This is the last time Madeline will fall asleep on my shoulder." I don't even know when that happened, but somewhere along the way – it did. I could never have known, "This is the last time I'll swaddle Sam. The last time I'll nurse him." I'll never know when it's going to be the last time he will call me "Mmmmmm" instead of Ma-ma - then Mommy, then Mom. It just…happens. They grow up.
I suppose I'm feeling extra nostalgic, not because this is my last baby, but because it might be.
And so – I'll just soak it up. I'll cry because I'm so happy with this little boy floating around inside of me. I'll try to memorize every sensation and know that, in 30 years, despite my best efforts, I won't be able to recall it, not perfectly anyway.
I won't wish him born, or wish to not be popping quite so many Tums, or wish for my face to stop puffing up with swelling and baby weight. I'll just love it – because I can only live life forward, so I'm going to live it.
(7 months pregnant with Madeline. At the time I thought this was a "big" belly. Oh, firstborns.)
(5 months pregnant with Sam.)
(8.5 months pregnant with little brother.)

By this point, David Fincher's preference for shooting literally dozens of takes of a single scene is well known, and comes with the territory if you're going to sign on to work with him. Some actors have clearly gelled with the filmmaker, working with him more than once (Brad Pitt, Rooney Mara) while others found the process exhausting and creatively unrewarding (Jake Gyllehaal). All this is to say that on Fincher's currently in production "Gone Girl," it's a not shock to learn that once again he's doing everything he can to get the most he can out of a scene.
The Southeast Missourian recently chronicled an afternoon of shooting in Cape Girardeau, an extras-filled sequence that the paper noted found Fincher filming "over and over again for several hours." The scene featured over one hundred people acting as media and regular citizens, chasing down a police car with someone of interest inside. Approximately 20 takes were done of this scene, which according to Fincher's longtime producer Cean Chaffin is on the low end for this film.
She told the paper Fincher is averaging about 50 takes per scene in "Gone Girl," a figure markedly up from 27/per scene in previous movies. "... it's an odd business. A lot of times it's more like doing construction than painting a picture," she said.
So why does Fincher insist on this method? "I hate earnestness in performance... usually by Take 17 the earnestness is gone," he told The New York Times in 2007. And when we spoke to the director in 2010, he shared what he told Justin Timberlake before the singer/actor signed up for "The Social Network" which goes a long way in explaining Fincher's process.
"We're going to micro-fractally explore this text cause all there is in this movie is people talking. We're going to pick that shit out of pepper. We're going to find the moments between the moments that move and resonate. And if you're not willing to hit that hole a lot of times, don't do this. Because it's going to be agony for you. If the charge for you is wardrobe malfunction, you're not going to get that. There's not going to be a lot surprises here, you're going to surprise yourself. I'm going to have you do it until you have gone past memorizing it, gone past knowing your own name, until we can get all of the the physical nonsense so ingrained that we can get to what the actual text is."
In short: Fincher wants the words to feel natural, real and lived in, almost like a reflex, and thus, they will leap off the page more authentically. Whether or not you agree, it clearly has been working for Fincher, so why change what isn't broken? Filming continues on "Gone Girl" with the movie slated to hit theaters on October 3, 2014.
John Brune | October 25, 2013 4:40 PM
Fincher can afford to do this type of thing since he shoots digitally and owns stock in Red Digital Cinema. When you're at the top there is very little left to achieve so why not be a nit picky bastard.
S O | October 25, 2013 3:23 PM
as some one who has been thru 30-40 takes shooting a scene and editing. its generally a lack of rehearsals, lack of committed idea for how it should play out. good actors are just that, and they often turn out near identical performances unless asked to do otherwise. the differences between take 10 and take 15 are usually near nil. wearing your talent down is bad day in and day out. while complicated long shots can take a lot of takes, simple ones just shouldn't be. it also helps to be rolling 2-3 cameras as well. in fact its pretty crazy if you aren't.....
LA2000 | October 24, 2013 8:55 PM
Multiple takes are overrated.
I've been on a set where the director went 78 takes on a single shot and still had to come back the next day and finish it because the actress became so distraught that there was no way to continue. The problem with excessive takes is that it can severely undermine the confidence of the performers. It's one thing to have to do a shot many times for technical reasons or because the dialog is complicated, lengthy, or difficult to deliver. Everyone understands that certain shots or moments can be difficult to nail. It's another matter entirely to get in the habit of asking the performers to go again and again and again without being able to effectively articulate exactly what it is you need them to do to allow them to move on.
Imagine for a moment that Kevin was required to rewrite this (and every) article 50 (or more times - who knows how long it might take to "get it right") and the only direction he received was a spartan, "Everyone back to one. Let's do that again." How many versions might he be able to manage before finally feeling like he's exhausted for a fresh, better approach, before beginning to question his own efforts (how BAD am I that we still don't have it?!), before eventually balking at the apparently senseless repetition?
What's that saying about an infinite number of monkeys typing on an infinite number of keyboards producing a work of genius?
If you are a director who needs to do everything 50 times, you aren't a genius, you're just a monkey banging on the keys hoping that the odds will eventually favor you.
André | October 24, 2013 6:12 PM
Well, this is more than necessary when you have Ben Affleck and Tyler Perry in your movie.
Noel | October 24, 2013 3:41 PM
If doing an average of 50 takes per scene makes the movie better, why is 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' so shit?
Mr. Gunderson | October 24, 2013 2:04 PM
I remember Fincher saying he likes to do a ton of takes ESPECIALLY when there's lots of extras. He said because they always overact they tend to just be worn down and act more like humans the more takes you do, and that he always uses the later takes in his movies.
hank | October 24, 2013 1:43 PM
Yeah.. not sure why this is such a big deal. "Why does Fincher insist on this method?" Maybe because this method results in movies that are a hundred times better than most of the other dreck we're forced to watch each year?
Leigh Richert | October 24, 2013 1:42 PM
Do you mean 50 takes a shot or a scene? Because 50 takes a scene could be no big deal, especially if the scene is more than a few script pages long. Kubrick used to take 50 or more takes a shot, also known as a camera setup, and it drove people crazy. That's why Harvey Keitel quit "Eyes Wide Shut". I think this is what you must mean, or else your story isn't really much of a story at all. Therefore, I must add at the end here, get your shit straight, will you? I mean, come on, a lot of movies have 50 shots a scene in the finished product, if not more, right?
CrombyMouse | October 24, 2013 12:59 PM
As long as Fincher provides his top-class movies he can shot up to 1000 of takes.
Webster Skyhorse | October 24, 2013 12:31 PM
If the movie's a hit then of course the talent will support Fincher's methods. If the movie comes off as limp and the performances deadpan then what actor isn't going to be a little cool to it?
SunPapushi | October 24, 2013 12:28 PM
It works for Fincher but its also why he has trouble getting projects off the ground, especially big budget ones. Studios and producers know his films have a tendency of going over-budget and over-schedule.
Alex | October 24, 2013 12:23 PM
I remember Robert Duvall scoffing at the thought of doing 50 takes for one scene.. it's quite absurd as a rule of thumb.. but clearly he knows what he's doing. It just seems to imply a lack of respect for his actor's talents.. for their ability to provide him (Fincher) with precisely what he wants. The opening of 'The Social Network' was shot 80 or 90 times.. the end result is damn near perfect. Conflicted 'bout it.
Jeb | October 24, 2013 11:31 AM

Jason Quick on Oregonlive - KP could be bringing in an All Star in the next week
I am geeked right now!!!! Well maybe I need to calm down...nothing has happened yet. And he did mention this on 95.5 The Game earlier, so it's not entirely new news. But he spoke longer and in more detail this time. Jason Quick said on the O-Live chat, KP is working on a deal to bring in an all star...a deal that is so sweet there is no way Paul Allen could turn it down or fire him. Quick says, "I think the Blazers are another all star player away from contending for a championship. Portland is much closer to that than many fans think." In the context of the conversation, it is clear he means that KP is working on a deal to bring in a big time all star. Quick says the deal, if it happens, will happen before or on the draft. Also mentioned that if the Blazers start out slow next season, look for Nate to feel a lot of heat and possibly be fired. I'm sure the podcast will be up soon. It's definitely worth a listen.

UPDATED WITH VIDEO: Crime novelist opens new Dorchester library
Updated 8:12pm Thursday 20th February 2014 in News
CRIME novelist Minette Walters officially opened Dorchester's new library today.
Mrs Walters, together with chairman of Dorset County Council Cllr John Wilson, officially declared the library open by unveiling a commemorative plaque.
See a video of the opening ceremony here:
Minette Walters said it was a pleasure to be at the launch event and to unveil the commemorative plaque.
She added: "I expect that this fantastic library will still be going in 100 years time, still providing the people of Dorchester with literature and information."
HM Lord-Lieutenant of Dorset Angus Campbell, mayor of Dorchester Stella Jones and Peter Finney, Dorset County Council's cabinet member for community service, were among those present at the opening.
The new library, which is attached to the West Dorset District Council offices, was described as a 'fantastic asset' for the county town by the mayor.
Cllr Jones added: "The new library encourages people to come in and try the activities here and the location is well placed within the town centre.
"The new look, brightness, convenience and facilities of the library are brilliant."
DCC Chairman John Wilson said that the library has been open since July but that this event marked the official opening.
He added: "The library has marvellous new facilities such as free internet wi-fi, and is 50 per cent bigger than the former library based opposite county hall.
"It can be used by the community and school classes as it has three large classrooms and an internet spot to attract the younger members of the community.
"This facility marks the county's first new library in over a decade."
HM Lord-Lieutenant of Dorset, Mr Campbell, said: "The library and learning centre is a wonderful facility and I am pleased to be here to mark the opening.
"The library is a real gem for the people of Dorchester and the surrounding areas."

The biggest crime, in recent years, was committed by the West Dorset District Council by building that monstrous edifice into which the library was moved.

Bankruptcy an option for chemical giant LyondellBasell
LyondellBasell Industries, the world''s third-largest independent chemical company, said that it its considering bankruptcy protection as a broadening recession eats away at consumer demand, according to the Associated Press. The company is controlled by Russian billionaire Len Blavatnik, who serves as chairman. Blavatnik is also one of several wealthy Russian investors involved earlier this year in a fight for control over TNK-BP, a joint venture with the British oil company BP PLC. LyondellBasell''s problems come just a year after Basell International Holdings paid $12.7 billion for Houston-based Lyondell Chemical, taking on an enormous debt load shortly before credit markets dried up. The deal that formed the company was struck just as crude oil began its rapid ascent to nearly $150 per barrel over the summer, prices that squeezed margins for all chemical makers. But a broadening recession slashed demand both for the products the industry makes and the energy prices that led to a consolidation in the industry in the first place. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission the company said that several lenders have allowed it to postpone $160 million in loan payments. Standard & Poor''s Ratings Services downgraded the company''s long-term corporate credit rating to junk status and Moody''s lowered LyondellBasell''s corporate family rating to "Caa2," its fourth-worst junk rating. S&P said a restructuring of the company''s debt could lead to "substantial principal losses for some creditors, especially nonsenior lenders, which will be tantamount to a default under our criteria and definition." LyondellBasell denied that it had defaulted on any debt.

Where Are All the Poster Children?
September 9, 2009 § Leave a comment
Yesterday I went to the annual poster sale so I could make my side of the room a little bit crazier. I was delighted to find posters of R2D2, E.T., and (woot!) Rosie the Riveter. However…
While flipping through the posters, I noticed some pretty interesting trends. Did you know that every female college student is crazy for either Judy Garland, Audrey Hepburn, the occasional ironic Britney Spears, or Marilyn Monroe? You do now. I have nothing against these ladies. They are all wildly talented, beautiful, influential women. But come on people, give us some more credit than that!! I would love for the poster sale to offer a few more diverse (in terms of color, personality, age and occupation) options than the double threat white chicks. How about some Michelle Obamas, some Ella Fitzgeralds, some Joni Mitchells (she is a white lady double threat as well, I'm just a little bitter that I couldn't secure a Joni poster), some Jhumpa Lahiris, some J.K. Rowlings (please please please!!!), or Gloria Steinems… anyone!?! Because women have influence beyond the silver screen (and I mean silver… I'm not sure exactly why girls are supposed to be obsessed with black and whites, but not even Dorothy was in technicolor!).
You might have noticed I mentioned Rosie The Riveter in my purchases… yep. That's true. There was ONE Rosie poster. Maybe this means that all the feminists snagged the rest of the supply before I got there, but I still think it points to a lack of diversity. Of course, I am entirely ignoring the fact that college women can break the trends of their demographic and go for the aqua teen hunger force or the Bob Marley, but I say with some confidence that we are not the target audience for these posters.
So please, college poster sale, keep us feminists in mind next time you stock up? I like to show my true colors all over the wall, and it's hard when I have only black and white movie stars to choose from.
Just for Funsies…

HAPPY 200th POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was going to save this one for Miranda but I'm in the library right now and thought I'd take a little study break.
Hi everyone! My new obsession at Grinnell is becoming a peer counselor at the Sexual Health Information Center. I've been working really hard on my application, so I figured I might share it with you all. That way if I don't get it (ewwwww) I will have SOMETHING to show for it:
(I'm not posting the questions, but most of them you can figure out.)
1.As a result of having experienced several badly-executed sexual health classes in high school, I am familiar with examples of how not to approach sexual health education For instance, the classes I attended have all been centered on heterosexual issues, usually skirting the topic of gay sex entirely. Classes were entirely fact based, with homework assignments requiring students only to fill in the blank with one or two word answers. The lack of discussion was counter-productive. My goal, should I become a peer counselor, would be to foster as much open discussion as possible. Students can be educated about sexual health only when they're asked to think about the issues and consider them in personal terms. I think this is in line with Grinnell's approach to education (both academic and social) in general.
Although I have never participated in a program as a counselor or peer educator I have some experience communicating ideas of sexual health education reform through my contributions to the blog Women's Glib (http://www.womensglib.wordpress.com). This experience has proven quite useful in forcing to me to think about how best to communicate about sexual topics.
The blog, started by my good friend, has become quite successful in a short time. It has received attention from feminist authors (such as Jessica Valenti, and the bloggers for "Feministe") The blog was also recently featured in Mother Jones magazine. Connections to these resources could be extremely beneficial to SHIC.
2.I am interested in becoming a peer counselor because I have become interested in exploring the field of public health as a career. I firmly believe that health and medicine are important social issues, and that everyone should have access to information on these subjects. My interest is partly due to an eye-opening experience this summer, attending an amazingly successful sexual health class which took a very different approach than classes I had attended previously. Student participation made all the difference. When teenagers opened up to each other the fear and the stigma of "the sex talk" disappeared. We even got to a point, as a class, when we were debating heavy ethical issues passionately and quite comfortably. I think that peer counseling helps create a much more laid back atmosphere in an otherwise notoriously uncomfortable (though it mustn't be) situation.
Before I found out about SHIC, I had been planning my own sexual health education club for Grinnell. It was my intention to partner with a local hospital and high school and have Grinnell college students teach sexual health classes to teenagers in the community. When I heard about SHIC, it seemed like an obvious choice for me. I would love to gain experience as a peer counselor, helping students at Grinnell first and then to taking my knowledge to the community. Perhaps at some point later on SHIC can expand to the community level.
Another project I would like to pursue is to create an SHIC blog, with as much sexual health information on it as possible, as well as discussions about health education reform, etc. This could be in conjunction with Women's Glib, or stand on its own. The internet is too good of a resource to neglect, and SHIC could probably benefit from utilizing it if it has not already.
(Skipping 3 because it's about my schedule. Boring.)
4.Confidentiality is obviously of the utmost importance for an organization like SHIC. Without the promise of confidentiality, no one would come for help. Confidentiality is the basis of trust and respect between counselors and students, values which SHIC could not exist without. I see confidentiality as somewhat black and white. Anything that is said in the SHIC stays in the SHIC. Obviously, I will adhere to any SHIC or Grinnell College rules about reporting violence or any other kind of sexual misconduct, but ultimately I believe that as adults, we are all entitled to make our own decisions.
5.I think I am a strong candidate for a peer counselor position because I am a very open and talkative person. I would imagine that my primary role as a counselor is to listen and assess, but I think I can make people very comfortable with talking about whatever they need to discuss. I welcome new people quite well, and really love to discuss sexual health. This, I think, shows in most of my conversations on the topic. I think my biggest weakness is the fact that I wouldn't ever want to give people advice or information that they don't want to hear. This is obviously something I would have to do, and I'm fully prepared to deal with that. With time it may get easier, but it can be pretty heart breaking sometimes to be the bearer of bad news. My only method of compensating for this is to grit my teeth and deal with it in as sensitive a manner as possible. This weakness should really only affect my comfort level, not whomever I am counseling.
6.I think the hardest counseling session would be with someone who is unwilling to make their own decisions, and unwilling to divulge important information. A counseling session should, in my opinion, be a dialogue. When it is one sided it is impossible to tell how effective a counselor you are. A counselor's job is not to make decisions for their peers, but to talk things through, listen, and aid the student being counseled in his or her decision making. I would assume that that as a counselor, my primary goal would be to aid my peer in the whatever way he or she needs, within reason. If that means, talking about stuff other than sexual health to break the ice a little, or listening to them vent about their relationships, so be it. I would also try to stimulate the conversation by asking the student to come in with a list of possible solutions, or questions he or she might have to get things moving.
7.I think that the most important thing to learn about sexual health is that it should in no way be a taboo topic! Obviously all the facts about STIs and birth control methods etc. should be available. However, I think discussing the societal aspects of sexual health is equally important. Lastly, I think it is absolutely necessary to convey the idea that sex is fun, and you are supposed to feel good when engaging in any sort of sexual behavior. Sex should not be a commodity under any circumstances. These values are absolutely necessary to pass on to anyone who is willing to listen.
Sociological Mindfulness and Why We Should ALL Be Feminists
September 5, 2009 § 2 Comments
I came across this passage in my sociology reading, and think that it sums up PERFECTLY why no one should be afraid to call themselves feminists. It also provides a great justification (not that I need one) for contributing to this blog.
I am a feminist through and through, but sometimes I feel like I don't do enough to show it. As a new college student (I swear to god I will stop telling you all this in like, a month) I am definitely going to get more involved in some social action groups, but if that fails for some reason, I will always have this quote:
Sociological mindfulness also reminds us that we can change a small part of the social word single-handedly. If we treat others with more respect and compassion, if we refuse to participate in re-creating inequalities even in little ways, if we raise questions about official representations of reality, if we refuse to work in destructive industries, then we are making change. We do not have to join a group or organize a protest to make these kinds of changes. We can make them on our own, by deciding to live differently.
Perhaps our modest efforts will reverberate with others and inspire them to live differently. Or perhaps no one will notice, or they will notice but think we are strange. And so you might think, "If no one is going to notice that I am a superior moral being, then what is the point? Why bother to be different and risk ridicule?" That is one way to look at it. Being sociologically mindful, however, suggests a different thought: "I cannot be sure that anything I do will change things for the bettter, yet I can be sure that if I do not at least try, then I will fail to do what I think is right and will be contributing to keeping things the same. Therefore I will opt to do what is right, whether much or little comes of it."
In the end, sociological mindfulness must be about more than studying how the social world works. It must also do more than inspire curiosity, care, and hope — although these we cannot do without. If it is to be worth practicing, sociological mindfulness must help us change ourselves and our ways of doing things together so that we can live more peacefully and productively with others, without exploitation, disrespect, and inequality. Sociological mindfulness is a way to see where we are and what needs to be done. It is a path to heartful membership in a conversation that ought to have no end.
– Michael Schwalbe, Finding Out How the Social World Works
Um… does anyone else think that is SO beautiful? I obviously do, enough to take the time to type the whole damn thing!
Am I a Spanish Barbie?
September 3, 2009 § 4 Comments
Hola feministas (I have no idea if that's a real world, but it seems fairly appropriate).
I'm sitting in the library doing my listening homework for my intro to Spanish class, all the while having little feminist daydreams. What's currently on my mind are the ridiculous gender roles portrayed in language learning audio supplements. There is always a man and a woman having a charming conversation. The man has a deep, rich voice, while the woman's is light and dainty. I'm kind of afraid that, in listening to these obnoxiously stereotypical gendered voices, I will adopt one myself, and inevitably become a Spanish Barbie doll.
I think the reason most tapes get away with this is because they typically have one person reading for each gender. Obviously, you aren't going to get a whole lot of variety out of that. It just saddens me that there is one more part of my education that pushes traditional gender roles in a discreet (and therefore harder to call out) way. Luckily, women's glib is the perfect forum for calling out seemingly insignificant shit.
Grinnell Fun Facts
August 23, 2009 § 2 Comments
Since I haven't been doing anything remotely intellectual for orientation, this is going to be a baby post. Here are some funny facts I learned about Grinnell campus:
- Formerly the section of campus where only women lived, South campus has some pretty hysterical architectural differences from all of the other sections. For example, the loggias (covered walkways) are not open air like the all the others on campus. They have beautiful glass windows. Know why? Because women should never have to walk in the cold Iowa winters. Haha, guess what. No one should have to do that. Ever.
- All of the kitchens on South campus come equipped with ironing boards. For us womenfolk to do the ironing.
- Just learned this one, it may be my favorite so far: the Loose dorm (holla!) was notoriously the hall for "loose women" because the window locks are the easiest to break for late night collegiate trysts.
I found those details pretty amusing when I first heard them, I really hope you enjoyed!
Packing Delirium
August 6, 2009 § 9 Comments
Right now I am undergoing the laborious (and ridiculously exciting!!!) task of packing up my belongings to take to my first year of college. I've noticed that, like many young women my age, I have a lot of fucking clothing. Not just clothing. I just have a lot of stuff. When comparing packing notes with my future classmate who happens to be a guy, I learned that he is packing way less stuff than me.
While this opening could go in many directions, I'll probably choose the least rational, least evocative and least coherent one because I am that tired of packing. Here goes:
I'm sure many of you feminists are familiar with the theory about the implications of female and male standards of beauty- females are encouraged to be thin, to disappear, while males are encouraged to take up as much space as possible. This is how society wants us. In my packing, I cannot help but wonder- is the reverse true for material goods? Are women supposed to take up as much space as possible with our belongings? Are we making up for society's pull for us to be nothing by having as much stuff as possible?
My packing delirium leads me to believe that a lot of the reason women tend to have more clothes, accessories, etc. is a tie to domesticity. Perhaps society wants us to take up a lot of room, not with our bodies, but with our stuff at home. Maybe we are bound with more strength to our homes because of all of these belongings. Do our clothes mark our territory? Do men often 'travel light' because, according to our culture, they should not be tied down to one town, and certainly not to one household?
Obviously it would be a stretch to draw very many conclusions like these without researching properly, and even then it probably wouldn't make much sense. I just thought I'd let you in to see my packing-induced crazy talk.
So You Think You Can Dance With Whomever You Want?
August 3, 2009 § 1 Comment
Miranda kindly sent me this Bust article via Facebook, which reminded me of something I was thinking about posting a while back.
Like the Bust blogger, I must explain my opinions of the show before I post. I LOVE SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. The show is pure entertainment. I love being exposed to great dances every week (albeit usually choreographed to less great music). I particularly love how the show doesn't encourage unhealthy competition. The dancers all genuinely seem to enjoy being around each other, and are not manipulated in to saying nasty things about each other. With that being said, I had a BIG problem with one of the audition episodes earlier this season.
During the auditions back in June, So You Think You Can Dance saw its first ever male ballroom dancing partnership. Here is what happened, according to "TV Squad":
Misha and Mitch are same-sex ballroom dancers. Mitch had a female partner, but it didn't work out. Mitch is straight and Misha is gay. It's like the odd couple, except with sequence. It's funny because the two have strong lines and good legwork. Nigel just had this look on his face (we know how he feels about gays). In one move they messed up a lift and land on the floor. Nigel has no clue what to say and compares it to Blades of Glory. He thinks that they alienate audiences. He thought that they were strong. Mary was confused because they were both male and female in dances. The lead/follow was strong, but the technique needed help. Sonya sees a lot of female qualities but is confused with classical form. The two are sent off to choreography.
For a show that is supposedly all about embracing new ideas in the dance world, breaking down barriers and accepting people of all backgrounds, these judges were very narrow-minded when it came to gender roles. They managed to throw in some remarks about the dancers' lines and general technique, but on the whole, could NOT get passed the guy on guy dance action. They all claimed to be thoroughly "confused" by it all, and felt that they could not judge the dancers properly because they strayed so much from conventional ballroom dancing. What a FUCKING STUPID excuse!!!! Alienating America? Like the media doesn't alienate all the Americans who don't fit into their cookie cutter gender roles every damn day.
I never really cared for Mary Murphy and her ridiculous pitch and volume, but I have certainly lost a huge amount of respect for the three judges that day, who could just not get over a man ballroom dancing with another man. As far as I'm concerned, dancing is about art. Art doesn't have to abide by conventional gender roles, in fact, great art is often created by challenging those roles!
I still love SYTYCD, and I do approve of the kick ass lady routines created by Sonya (also, Nigel did mention the ridiculous treatment women get in most dances), but it broke my heart a little to hear these two poor men get shut down immediately because of who they chose to dance with!
No, No, Netflix
August 2, 2009 § 7 Comments
This summer I have been a tiny bit addicted to watching Netflix instantly from my computer. Their eccentric collection has, um, forced me to watch some pretty weird TV. Kindly, Netflix automatically organizes my viewing options into some categories to help me navigate their website. The categories include stuff like "TV sitcoms," "romance," "thriller," "TV show with a strong female lead."
Wait, what was that last one?
Am I the only one who finds that just a little bit weird? Don't get me wrong, I love that they suggested shows like Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Dead Like Me. Those shows are pretty great, and I think they are great precisely because they have strong, quirky, entertaining females at the center of them. But it seems to me that making an entire Netflix category out of them is just highlighting how odd it is in the movie/TV industries to have such shows. I didn't see any "TV shows with a strong white male lead."
Perhaps Netflix is simply reflecting a larger issue, but I can't help but think that their method of categorization, in some small way, is helping to perpetuate that issue. Then again, perhaps I'm overreacting. Still, it struck me as a little weird, slightly more disconcerting, and entirely blog-worthy.
History of Infant Feeding in the US

Hi AGAIN! I'm on a roll.
This is a paper I wrote last semester for my US Women's History class. It's a little stiff (because I was dying to graduate) but I find the subject matter extremely interesting. Also, I cite my mommy, lactation consultant Bev Solow!
(Hello Again) and Infinite Props to NY Presbyterian
July 31, 2009 § 2 Comments
Hi everyone!
First of all, let me just say that I'm thrilled to be returning to Women's Glib after my embarrassingly long vacation. I'll be better from now on, I swear!
I recently attended a health and sexual education class provided by NY Presbyterian hospital. The class was mandatory for all Summer Youth Employment Program employees, and, needless to say, I was dreading it like no other. I've been to so many sex ed classes that skirt around issues, don't delve into anything that isn't strictly fact, and seem like their goal is to make people less comfortable, not more informed. Why should this one be any different?
To my surprise, this one was totally different, and here's why:
The class was taught by a mix of people, some teenagers and some professionals. While, yes, there were some cringe worthy one-liners such as, "um… does anyone um… know what um… the scrotum is?" there were some really great benefits to having this class taught by teens. It was pretty clear that my whole class felt at ease because the environment was less like a class, and more like a conversation. My favorite quote from one of our peer educators was, "You gotta tie of the condom and throw it in the trash, not out the window, would you want a nasty condom falling on your head?" When things got confusing, or some of the facts weren't straight, there were trained professionals to step in and clear everything up.
Which brings me to my second point… we were taught by people who hadn't just taking a week long crash course in health education. These people actually worked in the NY Presbyterian clinic. They had, quite literally, seen it all. Nothing that they told us sounded like a text book recitation. This resulted in a much more engaging class, because no one was trying to separate these issues from real life. Since the conversation had that tone, we had surprisingly open debates about ethical issues as well as the symptoms of gonorrhea and how to put on a condom.
My classmates totally opened up. They asked great questions, and others provided great answers. Some told deeply personal stories, and were not afraid to express their views, no matter how controversial they were. At first I was a little nervous when one of my classmates expressed his feelings on abortion. He believed that the decision for a woman to have an abortion should be a "fifty-fifty thing," and a woman should not have one if her partner is willing to take care of the child himself. I ended up being glad he said it though, because we had a lively debate which would have otherwise never occurred! Young women were exclaiming, "But do you have to carry it for 9 months?" One young man (and this is possibly the highlight of my day) said, "Nah, it's gotta be ninety-ten."
We all left the class feeling satisfied, and, most importantly, knowing much more. I am so shocked by this experience that I just wanted to share it with all of you!
There will be more where this came from.

1. How will Nail Yakupov perform against the Pittsburgh Penguins?
Yakupov was a healthy scratch in consecutive games, which inspired a healthy news cycle of speculation about the young forward's future. Having spent his time in the press box, coach Dallas Eakins is ready to reinsert the No. 1 overall selection in the 2012 draft back into the lineup. How's he going to do?
2. Will the Flyers cut down on minor penalties?
Head coach Craig Berube expressed that he wants his team to cut down on the amount of minor infractions they take. Entering Tuesday night's game against the Vancouver Canucks with a league-high 39 minor penalties, the team will attempt to curb their undisciplined ways.
3. How will James Reimer fare in his return to the crease?
While Jonathan Bernier has jumped out to an early lead, the goaltending competition in Toronto is still ongoing. Reimer will have his chance to build his case as he faces the Minnesota Wild, who will be playing in the tail-end of a back-to-back.
4. Will the Buffalo Sabres record their first win of the season?
The Sabres enter Tuesday night with an 0-6-1 record when they travel to New York to take on the Islanders. Will Buffalo end their dry spell or will the club continue their winless ways?
5. Will the San Jose Sharks and St. Louis Blues both remain unbeaten?
The two clubs enter the night having collected the maximum amount of points possible through their schedules, as the Sharks are 5-0-0 and the Blues are 4-0-0. That will not be the case after Tuesday, as they meet for the first time this season. While one team will walkaway with two points, will the loser manage one via overtime or shootout?

HARRIMAN (WATE) - Synthetic marijuana, marketed as incense, was banned in Tennessee in 2010. However, manufacturers are going around the law by altering a chemical slightly, and making it legal again.
Now Tennessee lawmakers are trying to get synthetic marijuana off the shelves for good.
Synthetic marijuana is more powerful than marijuana, and sometimes it's effects are deadly.
Steven Hubbard, 21, says his friends have had bad reactions after smoking synthetic marijuana.
"They said that they started hallucinating and got them really sick off of it. I don't know if they went to the hospital. I just know they got sick and didn't like it after that," Hubbard said.
After trying synthetic marijuana, you could end up in a hospital. Health officials say the substance can cause effects from anxiety and vomiting to seizures and hallucinations, or even death.
Roane Medical Center officials say someone overdosed a few weeks ago with synthetic marijuana in their system.
Poison Control Centers across the nation report more than 5,500 calls relating to synthetic marijuana as of October 31. That's almost double the number of calls received in 2010.
State Rep. Julia Hurley (R-Lenoir City) says she received several calls from parents whose children have become ill after trying synthetic marijuana.
"We have children across the state of Tennessee dying every day from these illegal substances being manufactured by 16 to 19-year-old children not understanding the chemical compounds or the makeup or how it will affect the human body, so it's a huge issue," Hurley said.
Roane County Sheriff Jack Stockton says his deputies are seeing the substance more now than ever and people experimenting with it are getting younger.
"We see more and more kids around the middle school age experiment with these types of drugs," Sheriff Stockton said.
The sheriff says the best way to combat the problem is to inform people of the danger and have a strong law banning the substance.
House Bill 2218 has been introduced in the Legislature. It would make any compound similar to any controlled substance illegal. Also substances that have an effect on the body similar to a controlled substance would be illegal.
The bill also adds that if the substance is not for human consumption, it would be legal as long as it's not packaged in a way to present potential for abuse.
So even though the synthetic substance may be sold as bath salts or incense, if it's packaged in a manner to present a potential for abuse it would be illegal.
If the bill passes, it would mean anyone caught possessing or selling the substance could end up behind bars.
"There will be penalties on all ends for manufacturers, distributors and buyers. If it were a 19 year old who would be purchasing this, it would fall under our new law as a felony charge," Hurley explained.
But legal or not, Steven Hubbard says after his friends' experiences with synthetic marijuana he won't touch it. "Anyone who tells me they are hallucinating from marijuana, that's not for me."
Rep. Hurley says if the bill becomes law, any store owner caught selling synthetic marijuana could have their beer licenses pulled. They could also lose the right to sell state lottery tickets.
She says she's confident the bill will pass. If it does, it's not clear when the new law would be enforced because additional time is needed to inform the community about it.

The Indiana Pacers head into Game 6 against the New York Knicks in unfamiliar territory.
Point guard George Hill is out with a concussion, NBA rules requiring him to pass a concussion test before he can play again. The Pacers have no idea whether that will come in time for Saturday night's potential closeout game.
Officially, the team says Hill is day-to-day.
It's a sensitive topic around Pacers headquarters, where coaches and players remain hopeful Hill will be back on the court but are preparing as if he won't be around to help.
"Learning about it at the last minute was not ideal," coach Frank Vogel said. "But as a coach you prepare for those scenarios all the time. If someone gets hurt in the first minute of the game, it's the same thing, right?"
This is not the same thing, and that became evident late Friday afternoon when the NBA posted its concussion protocol on its own web site to clear up any potential discrepancies. Pacers spokesman David Benner instructed reporters to view the protocol because the team would not answer questions about it.
The policy states that any player diagnosed with a concussion must be held out of all activities until he is symptom-free at rest and they see no "appreciable" difference between the players' baseline test conducted before the season and the test after the injury.
Then the player must prove he is symptom-free as the level of exertion increases. Team doctors can then determine whether the player passes, a decision that must be discussed with Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher, the NBA's director of the concussion program.
The league has not established a timetable for how long players must sit out before returning because each injury is different. Sometimes, the recovery time is quick. Kobe Bryant, for instance, did not miss a game after breaking his nose and being diagnosed with a concussion in February 2012.
Vogel and the Pacers would not provide details of the symptoms Hill felt Thursday, citing federal privacy laws.

Case Study: Optimizing SO3 Systems in Multiple-Unit Plants
The Duke Energy W.C. Beckjord Power Plant, located in New Richmond, Ohio approximately 20 miles east of Cincinnati, is an 862-megawatt rated utility power plant with six coal-fired units each equipped with electrostatic precipitator systems.
The first four units each have a Wahlco molten-sulfur flue-gas conditioning system to provide SO3 conditioning for proper precipitator operation. Neundorfer, Inc. is assisting with the installation of SO3 flue gas conditioning systems on the two remaining units—one new SO3 system from Neundorfer for Unit 6 and a refurbished system from another plant for Unit 5. Read the rest of the story.
Neundorfer also offers resistivity testing services. Refer to our rate sheet for a list of services and pricing.

Matt Quirk Joins Neundorfer Team
In February 2007, Matt Quirk came to Neundorfer as the Regional Account Manager for Team K, focusing on account management and new business development primarily in Midwestern states in the U.S. and in central parts of Canada. If the last name Quirk sounds a bit familiar, Matt is the brother of Dan Quirk, CAD designer for Neundorfer for almost 11 years.
Prior to joining Neundorfer, Matt worked directly out of college in the healthcare industry for nearly five years and then went to work for Novis Marine, a manufacturer of premium-quality production sailboats for the last 10 years. At Novis, Matt initially started in manufacturing and operations positions, and then took a one-year sabbatical to act as operations manager for a startup company in North Carolina focused on boat-racing technologies. "That year was like earning my master's degree in boat-building," Matt said. When he returned to Novis, he first took a position in marketing for the company's aftermarket sales division and then was promoted to a brand management role for the company's Tartan model line before the move to Neundorfer.
Matt earned his Bachelor of Science degree with a concentration in business management from Lake Erie College. Currently, he is working on his Master's in Business Administration there as well. Matt lives in Cleveland with his wife and 7-year-old daughter. When he's not working or going to school, Matt enjoys being active in his church and his daughter's school as well as sailing with his family in the warmer months in Northeast Ohio.
Asked what is most exciting about his new position with Neundorfer, Matt said, "I'm looking forward to learning about our customers and gaining strong product knowledge so I can provide high value to Team K and the customers we serve."

Route Guide - iPhone / Android - Partners - Forum - Photos - Deals - What's New - School of Rock
A scenic top roping crag on Rabbit Ears Pass, this area provides many easy routes making it a good spot for beginners. There are also some harder routes and for the spicier folks some potential for highball bouldering.
Getting There
The crag is a very short walk from a pullout on Rabbit Ears. Finding the pullout may be the hardest part. To get there, head east on US Hwy 40 to Rabbit Ears Pass. You'll see many pullouts and driveways on the right as you ascend the pass, but the pullout you're looking for sports a large asphalt shoulder (clearly wider than the normal shoulder) which is adjacent and connected to an even larger dirt pullout. It's very wide and about 200 yards long. The best landmark here is the giant dirt/gravel pile with grass growing out of it in the pullout itself. From the heart of Steamboat (5th and Lincoln), the pullout is right around 10 miles. Drive to the far edge of the pullout where the forest starts and look for a medium sized grey rock (think flat screen tv) that marks the trail. Start down this trail and you'll quickly see the rocks, with trails that branch off to the anchors. To get to the belay areas, follow the main trail until it splits into two trails. Each branch will take you to a main belay area.
