Commencement 2002
SOCORRO, N.M., May 11, 2002 - New Mexico Tech held Commencement on Saturday, May 11, at 11 a.m. on the lawn south of Brown Hall. Two hundred and sixty-six degrees were awarded.
The top award to a graduate student, the Founders' Award, was presented to Tim Canty, who also received a Ph.D. in atmospheric physics. Canty had a long record of leadership in the Graduate Student Association, and was a leader in the effort to establish the Student Health Center on campus. In addition, he was active in the physics club, initiating their annual paper airplane contest and conducting many outreach activities and science demonstrations for schools. He has also been the author of several professional publications, poster reports, and oral presentations.
The top award to an undergraduate, the Brown Award, went to Virginia Starke. Starke earned two bachelor's degrees, in mathematics and physics, with a minor in history. Last year, she received a leadership award from the Society of Physics Students, one of only three given nationwide. Virginia holds a Macey Scholarship and a Los Alamos National Laboratory Foundation Scholarship, in addition to her New Mexico Tech Silver Scholarship. Her contributions on two separate research projects have lead to co-authorship of two published journal papers, as an undergraduate. She has held summer internships at Los Alamos National Lab and Cornell's nanotechnology lab.
Virginia was active in the Tech Physics Club for four years, serving one term as its vice president. She participated in numerous outreach activities: organizing the paper airplane contest, and conducting demonstrations for schools and the Socorro Arts Party. She has been active in the fencing club and a leader on the Tech Women's Soccer Team. She has also actively served as an assistant troupe leader for local girl scouts.
Starke, a graduate of Los Alamos High School, is the daughter of Jane and Thomas Starke of Los Alamos. Starke has a six-month position as a physical science technician, working for the Submillimeter Array, an astronomical instrument operated by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Hawaii.
The Cramer Award, presented to the male and female graduates who rank highest in engineering, went to three students this year. Two top female students tied for the award: Margit Jensen and Michaelann Shortencarrier.
Michaelann Shortencarrier, a 1998 graduate of La Cueva High School, also received a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering with highest honors. Michaelann was named a runner-up for the Engineering Student of the Year for 2002. She is the daughter of Mona Blagg of Bloomfield, N.M., and of Michael and Jill Shortencarrier of Albuquerque.
Margit Jensen received a bachelor's degree in materials engineering with highest honors. She is a 1990 graduate of Washingtonville High School in Washingtonville, New York, and she attended Orange County Community College in New York. She has been at Tech since the Fall of 1998. She is the daughter of Marie Zarankevich of Ithaca, N.Y., and Ernest Jensen of Pine Bush, N.Y.
The Cramer Award for the male student ranking highest in engineering went to Samuel Hawkins, who also received a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering with highest honors. Hawkins is the son of Sandra and David Hawkins of Kirtland, N.M. and is a 1993 graduate of Kirtland Central High School. He transferred to New Mexico Tech in 2000 from San Juan Community College.
New Mexico Tech honored three faculty members for outstanding achievements in teaching and research. Dr. Robert Holson, associate professor of psychology, was honored with the Students' Choice Award. Dr. Holson was nominated by students because of his efforts in the classroom, his responsiveness to student needs as a caring advisor and professor, and his widespread campus influence.
The Distinguished Teaching Award went to Dr. Mark Cal, associate professor of environmental engineering. Dr. Cal was described by students an effective teacher of complex material, with the ability to explain potentially complex subjects through the use of easily understood real-life examples. Dr. Cal has been active as the advisor to the Environmental Engineering Club. He has encouraged field trips and aided the club to develop professionally by encouraging national memberships and conference attendance. He has also been an effective mentor of graduate students conducting research under his supervision, and of undergraduates applying to graduate school.
The Distinguished Research Award went to Randall Seright of New Mexico Tech's Petroleum Recovery Research Center. Dr. Seright heads a research program in petroleum recovery, focusing on methods to prevent fluid channeling through reservoirs and to reduce excess water and gas production during oil recovery. The program is considered by many of Seright's colleagues to be the world's leading research program in this area.
Dr. Seright is also strongly involved in professional organizations at the national level. He is a member of the International Board of Directors for the SPE, the Society of Petroleum Engineers. He was an SPE Distinguished Lecturer for 1993-1994, and he served as Chairman of the SPE Distinguished Lecturer Committee during 1998-1999.
The university presented its Langmuir Award to graduate student Kristin A. Fletcher. The Langmuir Award is for an outstanding research paper published during the previous year. Ms. Fletcher was the leading author on a paper published in the new journal "Green Chemistry." The paper made significant contributions to the understanding of ionic liquids which may some day replace environmentally harmful organic solvents in industrial chemistry.
The Class of 1952, who were holding their Golden Reunion, were honored during the Commencement. In addition, the Alumni Association presented awards to W. Denby Auble, Class of 1978, and Patrick Rodriguez, Class of 1970.

How to make an instructional slide show for a DVD Player
I plan to create a slide show to show on a large TV that will be used for instruction. I wish to make the advancement of the slides as needed depending on the length of time the audience wishes to spend on it. I would like to control the advancement of the slides with the DVD Player remote.
Can this be done? How

I think the best solution would be to save slide show as it is and use the DVD remote's PAUSE key. I have successfully used this method.
Set slide duration not too long but long enough for you to be able to decide if it needs to paused. If you think it takes 20 seconds to read / see a slide, set duration to 30 seconds. Turn off OSD from DVD player so that when you click pause, the disturbing on screen display does not show pause symbol on top of your slide.

I never truly appreciated the art of being a backup catcher until watching Jose Molina hone his craft during his time with the Yankees.

Pacquiao vs Margarito Generates 1.15 Million Buys and $64 Million RevenueCategory: Boxing
Although the figures were below Top Rank chairman Bob Arum's prediction, the recent Pacquiao vs Margarito bout is still a huge success as it has generated at least 1.15 million PPV buys and $64 million revenue according to an announcement today by Mark Taffet, the senior vice president of sports operations and pay-per-view at HBO.
With that result, Manny Pacquiao became the first boxer in history since Mike Tyson to generate at least one million buys for a fight in three consecutive years.
His fight with Oscar dela Hoya in 2008 sold 1.25 million and 1.2 million with Miguel Cotto in 2009.
His March 2010 bout with Joshua Clottey generated only 700,000 buys but it was because Clottey is a virtual unknown.
Even so, Pacquiao's past five pay-per-view bouts have sold a combined 5.1 million; a "true measure of his pay-per-view superstar status" says Taffet.
The Pacquiao vs Margarito pay-per-view result is the second biggest of the year after the Mayweather vs Mosley bout last May which generated 1.4 million.
The all-time record is still held by the Mayweather vs dela Hoya fight in 2007 which recently surpassed 2.45 million.
If Pacquiao vs Mayweather will ever push through, there's a good chance that it will break that record.
UPDATE February 1, 2011: Showtime Pay-Per-View will take charge of the Pacquiao vs Mosley fight on May 7, 2011 at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

You calling Manny Pacquiao poochyaw? Alagad ka ba ni Mayweather? In fairness to Manny, pinaghirapan nia naman ang pera nia eh. Dugo at pawis, sipag at tiyaga nia un.

Air France Industries to open logistics center in Abu Dhabi
Air France Industries is setting up a component logistics center at Abu Dhabi Airport. An inventory valued at "more than $10 million" will be available in January 2006 for the region's Boeing 777s and Airbus A330/A340s, the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) subsidiary of the French airline announced here at the Dubai airshow yesterday.
Customers have been requesting some spare parts and components to be located closer to their bases, said Bruno Delile, the company's senior vice president for industrial and business development. A $3 million inventory is already stored at some customers. The new logistics center will gather almost 2,000 part numbers.
The company currently serves 30 B777s and 10 A330/A340s under power-by-the-hour-type contracts in the region. Airline customers (not only for these contracts) include Saudi Arabian Airlines, Emirates, Etihad and Royal Jordanian, among others. Another customer is MRO service provider Gamco, from which Air France Industries will rent a warehouse for its new component logistics center.
The latter will provide reception and distribution of parts, local repair management and so-called fast shop services, using a $6 million ATEC test bench for avionics equipment. The operation will start with 10 employees. "The added value is in the monitoring of components," Delile added.

"In Karaosta Prison tourists pay to be treated like prisoners," points out Dimon.
Dimon spent a night in this former active prison where she was subjected to a mock interrogation, yelled at, pushed around, forced to clean a dirty latrine with a toothbrush, and stand in stress positions.
Ultimately, she slept there overnight on a wooden plank in one of the cells.
"Sure, the guards were just acting but, in this authentic setting, it felt very real and gave me a taste of what life must have been like for the detainees. It was a creepy, comfortless experience … and I loved every minute!," said Dimon.
Other Dimon's adventures included getting infected with malaria in Tanzania and eating humongous deep-fried scorpion in Beijing.

Deputy U.S. Marshal Juliet Longstreet has made her share of enemies, and now one of them is out of prison and threatening to kill her. Her mission: find him first.
But hot on her suspect's trail is Special Forces officer Ethan Brooker, who has a way of dropping into Juliet's life without warning. Haunted by his wife's death, Ethan is a man Juliet knows she should avoid. And now he's focused on a related mission of his own and can't--or won't--give Juliet any details.
When she finds her doorman dead and her New York apartment ransacked, Juliet tracks down Ethan--this time she wants answers. They agree to team up, and as they fight their growing attraction to each other, their race to stop a ruthless killer takes them north to Juliet's family in Vermont...and into the heart of a dangerous web of lies, greed, deceit--and murder.
From the book
The lake still smelled of summer. Juliet Longstreet, her jeans rolled up to midcalf, stood in water up to her ankles. Its warmth surprised her, although it shouldn't have. As kids, she and her brothers had gone swimming in the small lake into October, not that the water was warm then. But in late September, in the early days of autumn, anything was possible.
She dug her toes into the soft, muddy bottom, looking across the rippling water to the opposite shore, nestled amid the hills of east central Vermont. The leaves were beginning to turn. She could see dots of red, patches of yellow. She breathed in the clean air and suddenly was sorry she had to head back to New York in a few hours. She'd already packed up her tent and rolled up her sleeping bag.
Her work was in New York, if not her life.
But she didn't know that her life was here, either.
She glanced behind her and took in the small clearing where she'd pitched her tent, the cluster of granite boulders amid birch trees, the tall pine trees with their dead underbranches, the huge, ancient sugar maple on the edge of the path to the dirt road that encircled half the lake. She could have stayed with her parents just over the hill, in her old bedroom overlooking the barn, or with any of her brothers who lived in the area, but she liked the quiet and solitude of her five acres on the lake.
A family from Massachusetts and a couple from New Jersey owned second homes on the lake, nothing fancy, just ordinary country houses. A private, nonprofit nature preserve owned the rest of the land on the lake. The only structure on the preserve's two hundred acres was an early nineteenth-century barn, all that remained of an old farm.
With the increase in land prices, Juliet could sell her quiet lakefront lot for a sizable profit. But given her itinerant lifestyle as a deputy U.S. marshal, she liked having land of her own, the sense of permanence it gave her. And her roots, at least, were in Vermont.
Spaceshot, the family black Lab, waddled down the path from the road and joined her at the lake's edge, but didn't get too close to the water. "You could use a swim -- the exercise would do you good," Juliet said to the dog, knowing he wouldn't have worked up the energy to walk down to the lake by himself. "Who came with you?"
Her niece Wendy followed the dog's route down the path, walking over the matted-down grass where Juliet had pitched her tent. At seventeen, Wendy was the eldest of the Longstreet grandchildren. She was short and slim and had dark hair and dark eyes like her mother, who'd walked out on Juliet's oldest brother fifteen years ago. Susie Longstreet had home-schooled her only child. Wendy graduated a year earlier than her peers but decided not to go straight to college. Then, over the summer, Susie announced she was renting her house and leaving on the first of September to study yoga in Nova Scotia for six months.
That left Wendy with few options, but she chose to live with her Longstreet grandparents and work at the family landscaping business. She seemed happy with her decision. She was a hard worker, but she was self-conscious, determined to see herself as something of a mutant because she wasn't tall and big-boned -- or fair-haired and blue-eyed -- like her Longstreet grandparents, her father or her four uncles and aunt.
There were days Juliet would have traded Wendy for her long, fine, straight dark hair. Her own was cut short and filled with cowlicks. She'd never figured out what to do with it.
"Grandma said to tell you lunch will be on the table in twenty minutes," Wendy said.
"Thanks. Who'll be there?"...

As the current owner of a 26 foot boat that started out at $6500 and has now cost me almost $30,000 and is still on dry land, let me give you some cheap advice.
1) If you buy a fixer upper make damn sure you have some place to keep it for FREE. A marina is NOT the place!
2) If you think the work will only take a couple of months spend the money to have it hauled to some place FREE. If it takes a year you break even, if it takes 3 or 4 years the $2k for hauling each way will suddenly look like a bargain.
3) Little things like Honey Do's, Grandchildren, your job sending you out of town, Prostate Cancer, that kind of thing, some how eats up a lot of boat time.
4) The $10K boat was once a $100K boat. All the parts you will need are priced for the $100K boat.
5) Learn the difference between Used and Used Up. Many one owner boats are Used Up, while boats that have had several owners doing upgrades my only be used.
6) If you are really really handy, and can do fiberglass, carpentry, metal work, electrical, and mechanical, then you REALLY need to get a second opinion from someone else, preferably a surveyor. You'll think "I can fix that!" way too often.
7) Boats deteriorate continuously, even when you are working on them. It is easy for the deterioration to outpace you, it never quits, gets tired or frustrated.
Yesterday I went down to the boat, said F it, and went for a couple hours in the sailing dinghy on a local lake. Man's gotta sail you know?

Google Glass
Google tries to trademark the word 'Glass'
Google already has the trademark for "Google Glass," but is seeking an additional trademark for the word "Glass" by itself, in the futuristic font Google uses in its marketing campaign.
Technology: Warning, wearing Google Glass may cause legal headaches (Part 2)
This innovation promises countless benefits. However, there are also growing concerns that Google Glass may pose a threat to privacy, security, intellectual property and public safety if used irresponsibly … or nefariously!
Technology: Warning, wearing Google Glass may cause legal headaches (Part 1)
Purchasers will therefore be doing much more than simply testing a new product; they will be testing public readiness. And some may discover that not everyone is thrilled about "wearable technology."
Technology: Preparing for the new year with cloud computing issues to watch in 2014
Encryption, identity management and wearable technology look to be hot issues in cloud computing as we enter 2014.
Google faces privacy criticisms over Google Glass
While many are excited for Google Glass technology, others feel the device will allow the technology companies new avenues through which to collect data on users.

Sapphire has just added a new graphics card to their R9 290X lineup. It is the R9 290X Vapor-X Tri-X OC graphics card. The thing that sets this card apart from their other R9 290X cards is that it features vapor-chamber technology to improve cooling even more than than their current cards and this card features a factory overclock on both the GPU and the memory. The card will have a GPU frequency of 1080 MHz (80 MHz over reference) and the memory will be running at speeds of 5.64 GHz (effective). Other features of the card include a pretty sleek backplate, a Sapphire logo that lights up and even changes colors and dual BIOS support. Is this the Radeon R9 290X that you want? Read on as we take a look…

Pick a character I've written and I will explain the top ~three to five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them.
I'm waiting for Kyle to come fetch Nick so sure I'll do some of these if people want.
I can also ramble about what I keep in mind when I draw them, too, is up to you
(Source: vanessagecko)
Thank you so much for your input. I guess I was just hung up on how they had made fun of me so viciously, stating every little flaw with my art (hands, headshapes) and it really killed because I was doing something I had wanted to for a long time. I wasn't getting paid big for it. It was purely for me. But seriously, thank you. Also, my boyfriend fiance' and I are totally into gross dudes and weird characters too, transgay grody boys unite! Haha.
Of course! And i totally understand, its really easy to get hung up on all the bad stuff. But just what you said art is all about doing what YOU wanna do! :3
And thank you so much! gross trans boys are the best XD
I love your art, dude. I love your style. But I'm in need of advice really badly. I've been drawing my whole life and hell, I enjoyed it. I knew I was decent at it, but someone really bad and bitter in my life who was more talented made a point to tell me how untalented I was. Mocked and laughed at me for getting a small temp job, and ever since then I can't pick up a pencil without wanting to cry. I just can't do it anymore. I feel like it's been taken from me. I'm sorry to dump this on you.
I'm so sorry to hear that you have felt like this, and for some time too.
I have been in a similar place before. For over a year I gave up on art entirely because I thought I would never compare to the people whose art I saw on Deviantart or tumblr.
One thing I really had to learn, and I think so does every artist, Is you can't let yourself compare your own art to others', Whether or not you feel they're more talented than you. That includes taking what other people and artists say with a grain of salt. I know it's so easy to believe something if you've heard it over and over, but what they said isn't the truth and there is a very big difference between simple insults and REAL constructive criticism that you should actually take to heart.
No one should ever make you feel bad for getting a job, even if that job is small. It's very rare people start out right away with something huge and glamorous. Besides, the fact that you got a job is something to be proud of!
What you have to do is really try and separate yourself from that experience and those lingering thoughts, I know its hard, believe me. But I also know that is is possible, and I will always think art is worth it. Because your art is unique to you and that is something no one else should be able to ruin or take away from you.
Please don't apologize for coming to me with this, I just hope I could help even in the smallest way

CHICAGO Novelis Inc. has landed a $1-billion credit line that will be used to fund working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate expenses at the aluminum company, according to a division of Wells Fargo & Co.
"We are pleased to have been able to complete such an important financing for Novelis as their business continues to grow around the world," Henry Jordan, chairman and chief executive officer of Wells Fargo Capital Finance, said in a statement June 4. The bank acted as left lead arranger, book manager and administrative agent on the credit facility, which refinanced Novelis existing credit facility, Wells Fargo said.
Novelis senior vice president and chief financial officer Steve Fisher said in a statement that the company is in the middle of a "significant investment program involving major capacity expansions" to meet growing demand around the world.
"The amended credit facility will further strengthen our liquidity and provide additional flexibility, helping to support these investments," he said.
Fisher did not specify which projects the facility might finance, but the company has recently embarked on a number of expansion projects.
In the United States, for example, Atlanta-based Novelis plans to bolster heat-treatment capacity at its operations in Oswego, N.Y. (amm.com, May 14). It has also recently broken ground on a new aluminum recycling center in Nachterstedt, Germany (amm.com, Nov. 27). In addition, Novelis aims to expand capacity at its rolling facility in Pindamonhangaba, Brazil (amm.com, May 14), and last October, Novelis opened the largest aluminum beverage can recycling facility in Asia in Yeongju, South Korea (amm.com, Oct. 24).

Our current research interests are divided into three areas, but adopt a unified theme to decipher the interplay between mitochondrial function and cell death pathways:
I. What are the biochemical, physiological, and structural consequences of protein·protein interactions within the BCL-2 family?
II. How does the mitochondrial environment influence BCL-2 family function and the core cell death machinery?
III. How do oncogenic and tumor suppressor signals intersect with the core cell death machinery and metabolic pathways to regulate tumorigenesis and chemosensitivity?
The laboratory focuses on the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis with particular interest in the BCL-2 family of proteins. The mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis is activated during metazoan development, and is utilized for maintenance of adult tissues following both physiological signaling and cellular stress scenarios. Importantly, the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis is often engaged following chemotherapeutic treatment, yet malignant cells have devised clever mechanisms to block activation of this pathway to ensure survival. Our main goal is to understand the BCL-2 family in the context the cellular milieu with hopes to gain fundamental insights into the physiological and patho-physiological mechanisms of apoptosis. We utilize several model systems to explore BCL-2 family function, including ethanol-induced stress and cellular models of melanoma.

'MAN OF TAI CHI': Keanu Reeves directs a so-so story with great action
By BRUCE INGRAM For Sun-Times Media October 31, 2013 6:30PM
Tiger Chen in "Man of Tai Chi"
Chen Lin-Hu Tiger Chen
Donaka Mark Keanu Reeves
Suen Jing-Si Karen Mok
Master Yang Yu Hai
Radius-TWC presents a film directed by Keanu Reeves and written by Michael G. Cooney. Running time: 105 minutes. Rated R (for violence). Available now on demand and opens Friday at AMC River East 21, Barrington 30 and Yorktown 18.
Updated: December 2, 2013 11:17AM
'Man of Tai Chi" doesn't get the adrenaline pumping like last year's Indonesian rave-up "The Raid," and it's not nearly as much fun as China's video game/steampunk-influenced "Tai Chi Zero" and "Tai Chi Hero."
It has modest virtues, though, for fans of old-school martial-arts thrillers, as a thematic throwback that might have been made in the 1970s. And one major asset is the always spectacular stunt direction of Yuen Woo-Ping, the golden-age kung-fu movie director turned A-list fight choreographer ("The Matrix," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," "Kill Bill").
"Man of Tai Chi" (which was shot and chiefly financed in China) is also of interest as the directorial debut of Keanu Reeves. It's a personal project the actor had been working on since winding up the "Matrix" trilogy, but he has approached it in a surprisingly impersonal manner — cool, competent and emotionally detached. A bit too emotionally detached for proper vicarious enjoyment. And serious almost to the point of silliness.
Reeves plays the all-evil big boss Donaka Mark, an American security specialist operating an underground fighting ring in Hong Kong. Mark is always looking for new fighters, mainly because the old ones keep killing each other off in "Mortal Kombat"-style battles to the death. He's especially pleased if he can find a good, pure-hearted sort so he can destroy him body and soul. That's just the kind of Mephistophelian guy he is.
Mark spots the hero of "Man of Tai Chi" competing in a televised tournament and immediately appreciates his potential. ("Innocent!" he shouts accusingly while stabbing his finger at the TV.) Chen Lin-Hu, played by "Matrix" kung-fu trainer Tiger Chen (a longtime Reeves buddy who co-developed the film), is an unusually aggressive practitioner of Tai Chi, who wants to prove his brand of kung fu is "more than just exercise." That's a source of concern for his old master (Yu Hai), who sternly advises a strict course of meditation, but of course Chen's latent killer instinct suits Mark fine. And when Mark gets in touch, he talks money, not meditation.
Chen resists, at first, but when he learns that his master's temple will be destroyed unless expensive repairs can be made (no kidding), he's hooked. And as he progresses from fight to fight, he becomes increasingly violent and corrupt, leading ultimately to a clash with his master, a crisis of conscience and the formula-mandated showdown with the bad guy.
There are other things going on here: a romance with an office girl who is attracted to Chen the humble deliveryman, not Chen the ruthless blood sport champ, and some peripheral intrigue involving a Hong Kong police investigation. But the main item of business, in time-honored kung-fu movie tradition, is the hero's journey to spiritual discovery and self-mastery — leading, of course, to even greater butt-kicking ability. That process isn't worth much more than a stifled yawn at this stage, in terms of drama, in spite of Reeves' skillful earnestness as director.
Fortunately, the same is not true of the numerous fight scenes in "Man of Tai Chi," all of them staged with breathtaking intensity by Woo-Ping, using Chen's whirling-dervish approach to Tai Chi as a gimmick — his "soft style used in a hard way" pitted against a variety of opposing techniques.
The story is so-so, in other words, but the pummeling is primo. Check it out On Demand if you're so inclined, and keep the fast-forward button handy.

Purchased as a shower gift. The new Mom just loves it, New Dad said it is a bit of a challenge to assemble. Bigger than it appears but is sturdy and safe.
Baby Loves It!
Grandma from Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Really cute! It swings left to right or front to back. Baby is mesmerized by the lights and shadows. She really loves her swing. I only knocked off a star because I think it;s horribly high priced. There are different patterns of fabric and toys on the same frame with the same options for half the price!

I put this beautiful swing together in 20 minutes. My daughter loves the mobile and music. She's very comfortable in the cushion and falls asleep every time we use it. The different speeds and volume control is convenient.

Feel free to ask me anything.
If you view what I have "hearted" you will see much more images of things and people I find interesting.
I started using Tumblr as a conduit for getting inspiration for my painting, drawing and writing. That was a very wise & fortunate choice.

New York prosecutors have scheduled a meeting with Nafissatou Diallo today on her sexual assault charges against Dominique Strauss-Kahn — but the outlook is not good:
Three months after authorizing Dominique Strauss-Kahn's swift indictment after his arrest on sexual assault charges, the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., has decided to ask a judge to dismiss the case, a person briefed on the matter said on Sunday.
The case is sought to be dropped due to apparent credibility issues that arose after prosecutors received information about Diallo's past which resulted in a media shitstorm of victim-blaming and blatant misinformation about her and the report itself.
Regardless of Diallo's past and any changed versions of stories she may have made about what she did after the alleged assault, it does not mean she wasn't raped. The fact that there is DNA evidence, the fact new medical reports state Diallo's injuries were those of sexual assault, and the fact that Strauss-Kahn is currently being accused of attempted rape by his daughter's friend, is a hell of a lot of evidence that this should not end here.
It's no news to the feminist community that this case has turned into a trial against Diallo, and now she may not only not get justice, but will not even get a chance to fight for it.
It's also not news that the outcome of this case is emblematic of deeply embedded sexist cultural norms and a judicial system that assumes that women are not to be trusted. And immigrant women of color? Pshh. But as bleak as things may be, these injustices must continue to be challenged, and those who come forward supported.
In response, Feministing has joined several other organizations and groups to rally downtown today and demand that Diallo receive a continuation of the case — people are gathering at NYC Criminal Court on 100 Centre St at 5 pm today. The Facebook invite is here with details.

"We are out of goody goody gumdrops." Joey replies. I walk to the freezer and open it. Nothing from Whole Foods was there. And Joey says he doesn't eat a lot.
"Some one likes to eat a lot." I say and I close the freezer.
"I am a growing boy. Come on lets go." Joey says. He grabs his keys and we walk to the car. Joey is holding his camera and I am holding mine. The whole car ride we are vlogging and talking about random stuff. Then we finally got to Whole Foods. I turn off my camera and set it in the cup holder. "Your not bringing it?" Joey asks.
"The battery is almost dead." I reply. We get out of the car and walk up to the doors. Joey still vlogging and talking to the camera. I look around and notice a lot of people giving us dirty looks. I just rolll my eyes and follow Joey. At the corner of my eye I see and girl smiling and looking at me. Is it the good smile as in she likes me or the smile as in he looks weird. I couldn't tell.
"Hmm." He says turning around.
"That girl is looking at us and smiling." I tell him.
He looks over there and waves. WTF! He then drags me over to her. "Hi. We couldn't help but notice that you were smiling at us." Joey says. Man, oh, Man do I wish I could punch Joey right now.
"Oh sorry. I never thought I would ever see you guys in person." She says and giggles.
"Oh so you know who we are." Joey says. No she never that she would never see two boys in person.
"I love watching your vidoes. I am Devvin." she saysand looks down at her phone that lite up.
"So you won't mind being in one of ours vlogs then?" Joey says. Dude I swear Joey I tryin' to start something.
Devvins eyes widen "I would love to be in one of you videos!"
Joey looks at me and says "Come on Sawyer be social."
After a 5 minute trip to Whole Foods turns into an hour trip we leave. But before we walk out the door I say "Devvin! Wanna exchange numbers? Maybe we can hang out sometime."
She smiles and gets a pen out of you bag. She writes her number on my arm."I forgot my phone in the car. Otherwise I wouldn't just let you put your number in there." I say
"Don't worry. I left mine in the car too." She replies.
Devvin seems a little bit different from the other girls. And not in a good way. I can't describe how weird she makes me feel. Then Sawyer and her exchanging numbers. YUCk! I hope she gave him a fake number so I don't ever have to see her again!
"Isn't she great or what!" Sawyer says as we get into the car.
"Please tell me that is sarcasm." I blurt out.
"What you didn't like her?" Sawyer said and looked a bit offended.
"Not really. Didn't you notice something .... odd about her?" I ask hopefully.
"Nope! Just a great girl with a great personality and not the bad looking! What am I saying... she was HOT!" Oh no Sawyer likes her. This probably means I might have to see her again.
"Well I won't say 'hot' She seems ... okay." I say trying to convice Sawyer.
"Oh no no no Joey! Devvin was HOT! Name isn't but she is. How can you not see that!?" He asks
"She had the crazy eyes!" I say without thinking.
Sawyer just looks at me weirdly"You need to stop watching 'How I met you Mother'"
It's true I did get it off of there. But I swear she did! She looked like she was a drug dealer. Sawyer just looks out the window. The rest of the car ride was silent. I turned on the radio andSawyer's favorite song came on! But he was stuck in a day dream. Probably about Devvin.
Devvin is amazing, Joey just doesn't have a good taste in woman thats all. He mostly hangs out him Shane Dawson anyways. I just can't believe that Joey used something stupid for 'How I met you Mother'. The crazy eyes really, how old are you Joey? 6? No he is 22 and needs to act like it. Am I going a little too far? Joey is my friend and I should take his side over a girl I just met.

Went to town
We are back to the 4 campers that we began with. The others left on Saturday and Sunday morning. We decided to go into the town of Vidalia to see the movie Gravity. We ate dinner at Ruby Tuesday's which was directly in front of the theater. We walked to the theater and apparently looked like we were not locals. Maybe it was because we were all in shorts and flip flops.
While waiting on ...
2nd Day nest and Statesboro
... wanted to see her before we left on our trip to Holland and Belgium. On our way up we drove a couple of red roads, one taking us through Hinesville and around Ft. Stewart. We saw an unusual sign, Tank Crossing. The signs were numerous around Ft. Stewart, but we didn't see any tanks. Of course, it was ...
I can't believe that I'll be leaving FRIDAY!
... this amazing opportunity that I have been blessed with at once. My goal is to keep up with this over the next five weeks so that my family, friends, and of course my third graders at Nevils will be able to share this experience with me.
I am really excited about this trip and the great things I will encounter, but I know I will miss everyone so much!
Everything is Peachy is Georgia...
... and hanging out a bit. When Ashton's parents returned home they took us out for dinner to a restaurant in town, alot of his family came along to meet us English visitors and all were very interested in us and England and the trip we have been doing around the USA. They even took photos to put in the local paper of us visitors from abroad! So after the meal we ...
Peach of mind
... to dinner. They took us to this restaurant which served all sorts of yummy food. Abi and Nic got the 'Rib's, Nic making the silly mistake of getting the large, and when it arrived it was basically half a cow. I myself decided to go with a philly-cheese steak sandwich as I had not yet been able to get one. It was absolutely delicious and fulfilled yet another challenge ...

It's a sad time for online checking. PerkStreet Financial will be closing its doors for good on September 26th, 2013.
"Who is PerkStreet," you might ask?
PerkStreet was (look I'm already using them in the past tense) an online bank that provided online checking accounts with fair fees. And they weren't just checking either. They tried to make checking online rewarding for their customer by giving cash back and rewards when you used your PerkStreet debit card for purchases.
Many people loved PerkStreet as an alternative to credit cards. It's easy to rack up charges that are too big to pay off in full with a credit card (for some people). With a debit card you can only spend what is in your account. Using PerkStreet for purchases kept people accountable to their money — they couldn't spend what they didn't have.
Another aspect many loved with PerkStreet was their fees, or lack of.
They were part of an ATM network that had over 42k locations so it was pretty easy to find an ATM so you wouldn't get hit with fees for being stuck with an out-of-network ATM. They also offered up online checking with no monthly fees and no minimums to open an account.
PerkStreet was a breath of fresh air in an age where brick and mortar banks have been slowly taking more out of customer's pockets with different fees.
But no more.
