that a program is trying to achieve. "Proxy measures" are indirect measures used when direct metrics are not possible (cannot be measured) or are unavailable, such as when the direct metric is not timely. For example, cholesterol level is a proxy measure for the risk of heart disease. A proxy measure typically does not encompass all of the important aspects of status or performance, so managers sometimes use multiple proxy measures. Multiple proxies can increase the data collection requirements and only provide marginal capability to assess the achievement of the objective, but they may be all that are available.
The type of measure can be natural or constructed. A natural measure is a metric that has a commonly accepted definition arising from an objective measurement. Temperature and weight are examples of natural scales, as are silos destroyed and chemical destruction facility availability. Natural scales are preferred because people understand them intuitively and are easier to measure. Constructed scales are designed to measure the achievement of an objective. The five star scale used to assess the quality of a product, security classification levels (unclassified, confidential, secret), heat index, and body mass index are all constructed scales. Constructed scales require clear definitions to be operational to assessors and managers.
BOX 3-1 Common Terms Used for Metrics
• Cost effectiveness: Assesses attainment of an objective or task relative to the costs.
• Benefit cost measure: A metric reflecting benefits attained relative to the costs, which may be monetary or other costs.
• Value versus costs – Compares the value aligned with our objectives to the costs.
• Value measure – Align with our objectives, which we value.
• Measure of effectiveness – Assesses achievement of an assigned objective or task.
• Measure of merit – Another term that tells us how we achieve something we care about.
• Outcome measure – Focuses on the ultimate intended or unintended results.
• Performance measure: Describes how well a subsystem, system, or process meets its required performance.
• Output measure – Outputs usually refer to direct results of a process.
• Efficiency measure: A measure of how resources used in a project or program.
• Process measure – Captures some attribute of a process.
• Input measure – Identifies the resources or activities provided prior to a process.
• Resource measure: Identifies the resources (e.g., dollars, people's time, or materials) used by system or process.
• Leading indicators: Measures that provide early indicators of impact and effectiveness and allow managers to take corrective action on the process if required.
• Lagging indicator: A measure that is available after the current activity allowing corrective action only for future processes and operations.
• Environmental measure: A factor that could have a direct or indirect impact on the system or process but is not under the control of the program or project managers.
• Adversary measures: Assesses the potential or actual actions of adversaries that can have a direct impact on the process or system.
• Threat measures: Assess capabilities and intent of a potential opponent
• Criteria – Factors that differentiate alternatives.
• Attribute – Characteristic of a system or process.
• Metric – A standard of measurement.

Echo Cardiac Sonographer: Career, Outlook and Education Info
Echo cardiac sonographers, or echocardiographers, use ultrasound waves to measure the function of the heart. Find out about job duties, employment outlook and education requirements. Schools offering Cardiovascular Sonography degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
What Does an Echo Cardiac Sonographer Do?
As a cardiac sonographer, you will operate the machine responsible for producing ultrasound waves used to examine the heart. Throughout this process, the sonographer works with the patient and interprets the reflected Doppler signals and echoes, creating the echocardiogram used by the patient's physician to come up with the appropriate diagnosis and plan for healing.
What Are the Education Requirements?
To be an echo cardiac sonographer, you must have at least an associate's degree in echocardiography or cardiovascular technology. You can expect to receive training particular to cardiac sonography in the second year of the program. Bachelor degree programs are also available. Coursework can include instruction in anatomy, human physiology and genetics, as well as echo procedures, ultrasounds physics, congenital abnormalities, echocardiogram waveforms and other topics. You may also have the chance to participate in an internship.
Should you choose to become certified as a Registered Diagnostic Cardiac Sonographer, it can be obtained from the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers. While not required in all states, gaining certification can provide you a leg up over non-certified professionals also looking for employment.
What Is the Employment Outlook?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), you can expect a 24% employment growth for technicians in the cardiovascular health field from 2008-2018 (www.bls.gov). The major reasons for employment growth are centered on the prevalence of heart disease and a growing elderly populace. In addition, noninvasive cardiovascular diagnosing techniques like echocardiography are becoming preferential to using invasive surgery.
As technology advances in cardiovascular health, so too will related jobs, says the BLS. The majority of technicians in the field work in the cardiology departments of hospitals. Other job settings include doctor's offices, clinics and diagnostic laboratories.

Third-party games like Call of Duty: Black Ops II look better on Wii U than they do on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. That's according to Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, who told CNN recently that players seeking the best-looking experience would be smart to choose the Wii U version. Responding to a question regarding the Wii U being on par in terms of specifications with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Fils-Aime said this was not the case.
"First off, I have to correct you. The specs are quite different than the competitive systems; much more graphically intensive. If you do a side-by-side comparison you would actually see that third-party like Call of Duty look dramatically better on our system," Fils-Aime said.
Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford said earlier this year that the Wii U version of Aliens: Colonial Marines would be the best-looking iteration of the game. The title is also planned for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
Fils-Aime was also asked how Nintendo feels about launching the Wii U just a year before Microsoft and Sony are rumored to have new, more capable systems on the market. Ultimately, he said the Wii U's second-screen approach is the "next innovation" and early sales of the system in the Americas are proving this point.
"And then, in terms of what competition is going to do in the future, we'll see," Fils-Aime said. "We know that, based on our development, this two-screen gaming experience really is the next innovation that consumers are gravitating to; it's selling extremely well here in the Americas, already stocks are quite low in the marketplace. And so for us, certainly the consumer is deciding that the innovation is well worth their investment."

India's hotel with a heart
Guests at a yoga retreat in Bengaluru were so moved by the children from a local orphanage that they clubbed together to build them a new home

When a new hotel springs up next door, it's not normally something for curtain-twitching locals to rush out and celebrate. There are usually worries about noise or an increase in traffic. Maybe the rooms on the top floor will be looking straight into nearby homeowners' kitchens. But if there's one kind of hotel that's rather more likely to see the community hang out the bunting it's the Shreyas yoga retreat. This is a place that's not geared towards wild parties and late nights. There won't even be a TV to throw out of the bedroom window.
In fact, when a yoga retreat is built next door, it might just be time to knock down the garden fence and invest in a new welcome mat, because good things can happen there. Shreyas, which opened in 2004, is a luxurious 25-acre retreat on the outskirts of Bengaluru, India. Almost from the start, the owners saw the importance of getting involved with their neighbours.
The notion that they should be a self-contained hideaway just for holidaymakers seemed at odds with their overall philosophy. It was a decision that led to the creation of a new $200,000 (Dh734,600) orphanage. As ethical retreats go, Shreyas is in a class of its own. Forget holidays that are supposedly good for the environment, here's a vacation where you might just change someone's life.
"We wanted the locals to know that our goal was to be a real part of their community," says Pawan Malik, owner of Shreyas. "In one respect, yoga is about service. You're helping yourself by helping others, and we thought it would be a good idea for our guests to meet and mingle with the locals."
The start of something special
In December 2007 a guest from the UK made a special request to visit an orphanage during her stay at Shreyas. A visit to an orphanage called Kaveri Vanitha Seveshrama (KVS) in the neighbouring village of Hesaraghatta was arranged – and it turned out to be the start of something special. Housed in an old, dilapidated building with a dangerous asbestos sheet roof, KVS catered to 20 orphaned children as well as a number of disadvantaged elderly women. It wasn't exactly the Hilton, but it had a heart and Shreyas staff and guests connected with it immediately.
Sarojamma, a 60-year-old woman who was running KVS, was a particular inspiration. She ran the orphanage with love and dedication and seemed to bring out the best in everyone. After witnessing her devotion, the Shreyas guests and staff instantly wanted to help, so they donated mattresses, pillows and money to the orphanage. Strange as it sounds, a visit to the orphanage soon became a top attraction for anyone staying at Shreyas.
Guests found it uplifting. As Pawan explains, the orphans and elderly women weren't living a miserable existence – far from it. They were inspiring. "We didn't take our guests to the orphanage just so they could see how sad it was," he says. "We took them to see how people live and survive even when, from our perspective, they seem to have very little. "We would get immense joy from being around them and helping them with whatever we could, whether it was with school books or toilet repairs." And so things started to snowball.
"What we were trying to do was very small," says Pawan. "We found that many of our guests were moved by that. We weren't trying to change the world, but little by little we were hoping to promote some discipline in terms of sanitation, cleanliness, food and access to medicine for the children. "Guests were very keen to help and we offered to be the catalyst. If someone wanted to donate something – maybe they had some clothes or books to give away – we would collect the donations and give them to the kids."
When a local villager left some land to Sarojamma, Shreyas offered to help build a new, purpose-built orphanage on the site. Initially it seemed something of a pipe dream because of how much a new building was likely to cost, but they began raising money regardless. "It started very small," says Pawan. "We put some money in, guests put some money in and then local villagers offered things like wood, cement and their expertise."
Soon bigger donations from Shreyas guests bolstered the kitty. One donated £5,000 (Dh28,850) then organised a reunion with other Shreyas guests in London where another guest gave £2,000. "The idea was to create a building over multiple floors with a little school room and space for the children and old ladies to be able to live separately with their specific needs catered to," says Pawan.
From dream to reality
In December 2011 the orphanage opened in a shiny new three-floor building. The children were in awe. Here was somewhere they could live in comfort. There were places to have fun and there was even a library with computers. Work had cost around $200,000 from start to finish, with most of the money coming from Shreyas guests. Bearing in mind that the yoga retreat is hardly huge – there are just 14 rooms and a maximum of 25 guests at a time – it's clear that the percentage of guests who wanted to do their bit was immense.
That's because Sarojamma and the children and elderly women in her care have a special kind of magnetism, a way of moving anyone they come into contact with. "Everyone who walks into the orphanage is affected by the energy here," says Sarojamma. "The children feel secure and when they meet guests they are open with their emotions. They are also open with their new home and allow visitors to see everything."
"Our guests just love it," adds Pawan. "We publish their comments on our website and many of them are clearly touched by the orphanage. I think that is partly because it enables them to feel like they've had a holiday where they've not just taken, but also been able to give as well. "Guests also realise that there's so much more to life than so many of the issues that we tend to struggle with. Even with so little you can still be very happy."
Sarojamma talks fondly of the Shreyas retreat. She's eternally grateful to its staff and guests for what they have helped her achieve. "The children are grateful for the life they have been given and speak with pride about the new building and its modern amenities," she says. "When they need something they ask me if I will ask Shreyas." And it was because of one such request that two college girls were hired as tutors for the children.
Crucially, Sarojamma says, it is not just the financial support that has made a difference. Having the retreat so close by and so willing to help means that she now has confidence that nothing will go wrong. She feels protected. "In the old building, we struggled to make ends meet," she says. "The funds we had were not sufficient or regular. I would pray every day and Shreyas has been the answer to those prayers. I can't even think about where we would be now had Shreyas not come along."
There are now 40 children and 20 elderly people in Sarojamma's care – almost twice as many as before. Life at the orphanage is still simple, but with fewer worries. Thanks to Shreyas, the KVS residents can look forward to a much brighter future.

Private Performance at Tango Porteño — 23-December, Buenos Aires
Don't miss an evening at Tango Porteño, a well-known theater in Buenos Aires. You'll enjoy local wines, desserts, and table seating for the performance. Tango is a musical art form that emerged in the late 19th century as waves of European immigrants gradually displaced the rustic gauchos of Buenos Aires. The children of these immigrants were called porteños, and their customs soon displaced traditional ways. Tango expresses the passionate emotions of seeing an old way of life disappear.
We ask that you sign up for this event online at least four days prior to your voyage.

mothernature is just that rude
yea. that person is stupid. and needs to do some research before having sex or opening their mouth, clearly.
snotfaceusmc replied to your post: My period is SOOO irregular, it comes every eight weeks and I'm also anaemic, would you recommend bc to regulate things, even though I'm only seventeen?
"You don't get a real period on birth control?" That's a crock. The only time you don't get an actual period is when you're pregnant though some women still experience 'period-like bleeding.' Birth control CAN help regulate actually.
(in most cases) birth control stops ovulation. thus you only get a withdrawal bleed. not an actual period. educate yourself.
well you dont get a real period on birth control. its just a withdrawal bleed. so chances are it will help you tremendously. talk to a doctor.
i didnt. a lot of people dont. a lot of people do. it just depends on the person.
follow meh
uh. i dont think you're supposed to do that honestly.
like go off and then start back up inbetween packs.
you can skip, but skipping means you dont go off it at all inbetween
someone will reply with help. since i have no idea. i just know i wouldn't do that because i would never risk fucking up anything when it comes to bc.
i wish bc helped mine. i have PMDD and my cramps leave me bedridden for days. on birth control or not.
some people say it has helped theirs. it has never done a darn thing to help mine. i'm on bc for the birth control aspect and if i were to become single i wouldnt take it if you paid me. i hate bc. i hate the hormones. and i hate everything about it.
BUT others will tell you differently. lol. it really does differ person to person and bc to bc.
you get a withdrawal bleed. which isnt the same as an actual period due to ovulation/no fertilization.
I have never gained weight on the pill. If you watch your diet more closely, chances are you wont.
in the past my period would start coming back after 50 days. next time 45. next time 40. until it slowly regulated back into my normal.
but im positive its different for everyone.
-_- like have sex. often. until you realize how to get better
think of it as a sport. the more you practice, the better you'll get.
and open communication is best. don't be afraid to ask what your partner likes.
i usually just wear normal fit jeans. sweats make me feel bum-like in general and skinny jeans dont flatter my hips.
expect some discomfort and tearing, especially if your hymen is intact.
expect to realize that with practice sex is way more enjoyable.
and if its his first time..expect it to be over quick. GL
the way i always sleep..

Two things to verify. First, make sure you downloaded the files from the Sourceforge link entitled "last mencoder & mplayer binaries." I wrote this is in the original submission but I guess the editor thought it was a mistake and changed it to "newest" or something to that effect.

Okay, I'm running Mac OS X 10.3.7. I have Real Player 10.0.0 (v325).

I too am trying to convert a stream to .wav, then to .mp3, in this case a segment of a Prairie Home Companion show. I got the newest binaries I could find, in this case Intel builds, and used the command for streams given in this thread, and it seemed to work perfectly:
And in fact the file, rope.wav, was created. However, it converted only a little 33-second snip of the show segment (which is around a half-hour, I think) that I was trying to convert, and I'm not even sure what it created was from the right segment of the show. as you can see, at the end of the rtsp link, there's a timecode reference,
I believe that's the part that's messing up. Anyone have any words of wisdom for me? Thanks in advance.

If you don't have a .ram file, as long as you can get at the original stream URL (via View Source or similar), you can do
mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile [filename] rtsp://host.do.main/full/url
to dump live RealAudio streams to disk to create your own .rm files that you can then massage into MP3's.

Why Assume Jesus Wasn't Married?
- Friday, September 21, 2012
What is noteworthy in all of these references is the fact that neither author feels compelled to defend the singleness of Jesus. Both Clement and tertullian, in treatises focused on other subjects, mention this status in an offhanded manner, as if both they and their readers assume the singleness of Jesus.
What About Jesus and Mary?
The only potential evidences of alternative perspectives on Jesus' marital status turn out to provide little, if any, real evidence at all. The Gospel of Mary—a text that probably originated in a Gnostic context around the time of Tertullian, long after every eyewitness of Jesus had passed away—merely mentions that Jesus "loved [Mary] more" than he loved other women (10).
The Gospel of Philip seems to have been written a little later, in the first half of the third century. The Gospel of Philip describes a secret "bridal chamber" initiation ritual by which spiritual mysteries were passed from one person to another in a Gnostic sect known as the Valentinians (The Gospel of Philip 67). As such, much of the language in the book is symbolic in the first place. According to this text, Jesus "was kissing" Mary Magdalene (63-64). A small hole appears in the manuscript after the word translated "kissing." As such, it's impossible to know where or how Jesus supposedly kissed Mary. In a culture where kissing served as a common greeting (Acts 20:37; Romans 16:16; 1 Corinthians 16:20; 2 Corinthians 13:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:26; 1 Peter 5:14), kissing would have suggested close friendship—not necessarily or even primarily a marital connection. The Gospel of Philip also calls Mary Magdalene the "companion" with whom Jesus was "joined" (59). The term translated "companion" is a Coptic derivative of the Greek word koinonos. In Greek, this word denoted a fellow participant in a shared goal, but not necessarily a spouse or sexual partner. Paul had koinonos connections with Titus, Philemon, and the entire church at Corinth (2 Corinthians 2:7; 8:23; Philemon 1:17), and Simon Peter called himself a koinonos in God's glory (1 Peter 5:1). (For further examples of the functions of koinonos in the new testament, see Matthew 23:30; Luke 5:10; 1 Corinthians 10:18, 20; Hebrews 10:33; and, 2 Peter 1:4.)
Most important of all, texts such as The Gospel of Mary and The Gospel of Philip—and most likely The Gospel of Jesus's Wife, if the fragment happens not to be a forgery—originated among Gnostic sects that were far more concerned with describing arcane myths and rituals than with preserving any historical information about Jesus.
"The Lord…Already Had a Bride"
Despite multiple media melees over the past few years that have implied otherwise, there is simply no reliable historical evidence to support the supposition that Jesus was married. The earliest references to Jesus's marital status assume his singleness, and the writers seem unaware that anyone might think otherwise. Implications that Jesus was married originate in historically-suspect sources, written more than a century after Jesus walked the earth.
There is, I would add, one more historical hint that Jesus was single. This evidence dates even earlier than the writings of Clement and Tertullian. The evidence simply this: The consistent testimony from the first century forward was that the church was to be considered the bride of Christ. The apostle Paul made this point in the mid-first century (Ephesians 5:24). In his description of the end of the age, the apostle John likewise depicted the church as the bride of Christ (Revelation 21:2). In the earliest surviving Christian sermon—preached in the early-to-mid-second century—the pastor proclaimed, "'God made man male and female.' The male is Christ, and the female is the church" (2 Clement). Clement of Alexandria himself gave this as the primary reason for Jesus's lifelong virginity: "The Lord…already had a bride, the church"—and these are only a few of many such references from the first centuries of Christian faith.

I was debating a friend and really don't have a very good response to this question. Is home equity capital? Does the decrease in home prices in of itself therefore represent a decrease in capital?
It may help if you define "capital" first.
I would think not. Home equity is just about subjective value. There are capital goods associated with the house, such as the wood, the copper wire, etc. Equity is just the value of the home. You can borrow against the equity in order to obtain capital goods, but the equity itself does not represent capital.
Though this is more hand-waving than speaking as an authority on the subject.
Yes, I am a huge Dodgers fan.
Anti-state since I learned about the Cuban Revolution and why my dad had to flee the country.
Beer, Guns and Baseball My blog
It is tricky. I think of my stock portfolio as capital, but technically that is only subjective/speculative value until til actually sell something.
Well, with stocks I would think that the money you used to buy it is used for capital, but I wouldn't call the stock certificate capital.
Uh...are you planning on actually defining the term you're basing this whole discussion on?
I guess that's the real issue. What is generally accepted definition of capital? You tell me.
Well that's kind of my point. If you don't even have a working definition of what capital is, why the hell are you trying to determine if something fits that non-existent definition? I mean, why do you even care? If the word "capital" has no meaning to you then what difference does it make if home equity qualifies as "capital"? You might as well be asking if home equity is "pacntwal".
Someone asks you: "what's 'pacntwal'"? And your response is "I don't know. You tell me."
I guess I figued there was a more established economic answer to that question.
Personally, I define a businesses capital is the goods and resources available for the means of production (the cash in the accounts, the tools in the toolbox, machinery, building, etc.).
For an individual I tend to equate that into the relm of whatever they have produced minus what they have expended for basic existance. The closest term I can come up with here would be net worth.
I am being told I am wrong for assuming Net Worth = Capital.
Wanted to see if more knowledgeable people than he or I agree.
This is really a sticky subject because you're combining what amounts to basically three different subjects here: economics, finance, and accounting...all of which use a lot of the same terms to mean sometimes very different things.
And it doesn't help that multiple words are used to describe the same thing (especially finance. There's at least two names for everything in finance. Seriously.) So really, again, the question is why do you care?...meaning, what exactly is the bottom line you're trying to get to? Do you have some actual consequential reason for needing to reach a conclusion here, or is it just for its own sake? Do you just want to expand your knowledge of one or all of these worlds? If that's the case you'll have to decide how interested you really are, because there is plenty to keep you busy.
Capital - Need some help understanding
What Capital, according to Böhm-Bawerk?
What is a capital good?
What is 'capital consumption'?
and probably most precise:
Ludwig von Mises and The Theory of Capital and Interest
In AE capital is a man-made good used to make consumption goods. It is not totally clear-cut, but, that is not the important matter here. The important matter is that capital is not a value.
"The paper value of our stocks and real estate." "All that phony wealth." "No increase in productive capacity."
Peter Schiff's description of home equity and stocks right before our Great Recession.
In other words, for the country as a whole, what counts is not the numbers you label things with, but of what usefulness they are for you. If we have the same amount of houses as five minutes ago, but the prices of them go up or down, we are not truly wealthier nor poorer. This was the essential insight that ended mercantilism.
For the individual home owner, he calls it phony wealth. Because it was, he thought, a temporary price doomed to drop because there was no demand for houses to live in, but rather to speculate with.
As the other posters pointed out, the technical definition may vary. But if we are talking about how one should look at things to understand the reality around us, I think Peter nailed it.
My humble blog
It's easy to refute an argument if you first misrepresent it. William Keizer
Caley McKibbin:In AE capital is a man-made good used to make consumption goods. It is not totally clear-cut, but, that is not the important matter here. The important matter is that capital is not a value.
Perhaps you should read this too.
Smiling Dave:If we have the same amount of houses as five minutes ago, but the prices of them go up or down, we are not truly wealthier nor poorer. This was the essential insight that ended mercantilism.
Careful...do not forget the other side of the coin. You're only talking about supply...and are assuming demand is constant. If I own a widget and all of a sudden the rest of the world really wants a widget, I have become wealthier...even though the same amount of widgets exist.
The difference is, in the housing bubble situation, the demand was phony...the result of funnymoney printed out of thin air.
Perhaps you should read this too.
c. The concept of capital (as well as of its correlative income) is strictly a tool for economic calculation and hence has meaning only in the context of a market in which monetary calculation is meaningful. Thus, capital is properly defined as the (subjectively perceived) monetary value of the owner's equity in the assets of a particular business unit. Capital is therefore to be sharply distinguished from capital goods.
I meant capital goods. I didn't know that just "capital" was specifically defined.
Caley McKibbin:I meant capital goods. I didn't know that just "capital" was specifically defined.
Not only that, but I was also meaning for you to be made aware of the sloppiness of saying things like "In AE _____ is..." As if Austrian economics were some kind of code language which had its own definition for everything, different from the rest of the world, but exactly the same and perfectly agreed upon among all scholars.

Hats are so great, especially if you're like me and your hair looks disgusting and oily and ragged if you don't take a shower every morning or if you sweat even a little during the day. Grab a hat and your hair looks fine and you look cool as hell. Anyway, throw a fucking parade because I've confidently and successfully integrated hats into my look.
I've also been wearing them to open mics a lot, and now that I reflect on it, almost always. Even if I'm not wearing a hat that day, I'll often pull one on before I get out of my car for a mic.
Yesterday, I saw a comic-friend of mine at a comedy show and I had come straight from work so I was wearing a hat. He said "Hey - why do you always dress like a kid sister? Or like a neighborhood paperboy?" He was joking and I laughed and did my best impression of what a kid sister/paperboy would sound like and we both laughed. But I didn't really answer his question. I'd never really thought about it. So, here's the answer, comic-friend:
"I wear backwards hats and plain jeans and t-shirts when I do comedy, first because I like the style and ease, but second, and more importantly, because it serves as an attempt to desexualize my presence on stage as a woman and fingers crossed, the first thing the (generally all-male) audience will be thinking about is the quality of my jokes and not whether they want to sleep with me or not.
If I'm pretty enough to be telling a joke about turning down a guy's advances.
If I'm sexy enough to be saying words to them.
In my, granted, limited time as a stand up comedian, I've had the experience of doing roughly the same set looking all dressed up, then unshowered and in a pair of sweats.Let's throw me a bone here and assume the set was decently funny, and I guarantee you my appearance wasn't affecting my, like, "stage confidence". When I looked all dressed up I did pretty well but then I got heckled at when I told a blowjob joke. Something along the lines of "yeah girl you can blow me, [yadda yadda]". When I looked bad, I basically bombed. That was probably my own fault, and I'm generally pretty self-deprecating when talking about my own talents, but I could not shake the feeling it was connected to my appearance.
Therefore, it has become extremely appealing to me to cultivate as neutral an appearance as possible. I know it's impossible to control the way an audience of strangers perceives you. There's always gunna be weirdos thinking pervy thoughts when he's SUPPOSED to be dying laughing at my new joke about dumb babies. But if I can find a way to look somewhere firmly in the grey area of "Not Gross & Ugly but Not Someone Who's Sexually Attractive" that's where I wanna live forever.
Kid Sister/Paperboy seems like a pretty solid answer to that. I'm glad it's working.
But I'm not glad I feel compelled to do this fucking ridiculous juggling act with my sexuality, my body, and the male gaze. I'm not glad that if I ever happened to want to wear a shirt that wasn't a button up or a crew-neck, I would be worried about my cleavage all night. I'm not glad that I have to find a delicate way to rebuff a comic's flirtations because I don't want him to never book me on his show. I'm not glad that I could get booked on a show because someone had a crush on me. I'm not glad I could get not booked on a show because someone thought I was ugly. I'm not glad women's appearances are held to draconian and painful standards and that in comedy, as a woman, you're either gorgeous or obese or get the fuck out.
All these things are pretty well embedded into our culture and our lives. I know so many amazing comics who are very good at treating women as people. I've encountered a lot more who aren't good at that yet.
In the meantime, it's not so bad, I get to wear cool hats all the time!
Haha but yeah dude good set the other night cya around lol."

How about football? Soccer? Ladies Basketball? Other fan drawn sports at UC. We owned a bar/restaurant for a few years. It started as a place that had been under flood water three times in three years prior to our opening. We gave it a new name, a new face and a new beginning. We started from scratch. We were at least a half mile from the nearest neighborhood, secluded from all other businesses and we not only survived but we thrived. We had no sports events or facilities anywhere near us, yet we did very well.
I suppose there are maybe 30 or so games, including football or basketball (the larger fan attractive sports), at UC and these business at Usquare cannot survive without these few sports days? What about the other 335 days of the year? Aren't these shops, etc., open for business? Perhaps they filled the buildings with the wrong kind of businesses. I don't think so.

Greg Graffin To Teach At Cornell University, Scientific Find Named In His Honor
In the coming months Graffin will shift his talents to the revered Ivy League institution of Cornell University where he will be teaching Evolution in the fall semester (August 24th to December 11th). "This is the first year of three that I am slated to help develop the course and lecture at Cornell," Graffin explains. "I have a colleague who is a gifted geneticist, Richard Harrison, who will be co-teaching with me. I only have to lecture on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That leaves plenty of time to head overseas on the weekends!"
In additional news, Greg Graffin has been honored in the science world. In this month's Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society in London, paleontologists including Dr. Jingmai O'Connor, have discovered an ancient bird fossil in the Gansu Province of north-western China, and have named this important find "Qiliania graffini" in honor of the singer. As O'Connor explains, "The species name is in honor of Dr. Gregory Graffin, PhD: paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, professor, rock star, and inspiration to numerous budding and established scientists around the world."
Dr. Graffin responds, "I am so happy that they have given me the privilege of having an important fossil bird named in my honor. My love of birds now must pass to the Cretaceous and the wonderful finds from China that [the authors] are elucidating"
Catch Dr. Graffin on tour this summer in Europe before the fall semester begins.

text: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Quickly Makes 'Fox & Friends' Her New Home Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 19 Sep 2013 post a comment By most measures Elisabeth Hasselbeck's 15 minutes of fame should have long since expired. Hasselbeck's first media exposure came when she starred on the CBS series Survivor's second season, and reality show stars rarely stick around for long--a certain Kardashian clan notwithstanding. A funny thing happened to Andy Warhol's infamous time peg. Audiences got to know her via her plum gig on The View where she stood tall as the lone conservative battling a 9/11 Truther (Rosie O'Donnell) and a future Current TV host (Joy Behar). Now, Hasselbeck finds herself in friendlier ideological terrain as part of the revamped Fox & Friends morning show. And, only a few days into her latest media gig, the former reality show star reminds us once more of her versatile personality. This week, the new host smoothly transitioned to the show's "curvy" couch, paid homage to her View peers and showed she belongs in the morning show landscape. She also boosted the show's youthful demographic while topping morning shows seen on both CNN and MSNBC. Hasselbeck brought a motherly touch to the show, ribbing the aggressive cutting of a massive cake to honor the Air Force's 66th birthday as something she doesn't want her kiddies to emulate. On her first day, the new host thanked The View for allowing her to work alongside, and glean interviewing skills, from legendary broadcaster Barbara Walters. And she proved her physical prowess by participating in a gladiator style balancing contest as part of the show's "bonding" rituals. Co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade seemed elated to have Hasselbeck on their team. They know what viewers will soon find out. Hasselbeck is the right choice to fuel Fox & Friends in the weeks and months to come. Fox & Friends airs at 6 a.m. EST weekdays on Fox News.

Even if you hate exercise, there's a definite appeal to the thought of getting doused with a rainbow of color while strolling through the Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield. The annual Color Me Rad is a 5K race that involves getting showered with a different color at every kilometer.
And, really, what better way to mark your progress? The trail winds through the gardens, and at each metric milestone, contestants will be puffed with colored powder or splashed with colored liquid to prove that they passed the marker. After finishing the race (which can be as competitive or non-competitive as you please), everyone gathers at the finish area for a color bomb to top off the dashing rainbow look.

The Penn State Nittany Lions did not get off to a good start in conference play. After falling to 4-2 on the year with an 44-24 loss at Indiana last week, Penn State will look to bounce back at home this week. Unfortunately, this week's opponent doesn't present an easy matchup. The Michigan Wolverines have a high-powered offense that has helped them to a 5-0 record and a No. 19 ranking.
This weekly feature highlights three Nittany Lions to keep an eye on in the upcoming game. Anyone could make this list, ranging from a player on a hot streak, someone making their first start or a player who needs to rebound from a poor performance.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I'm currently a Junior at Lowell High School. I have been to three different high schools in the past three years of school, not including the year between freshman and sophmore year that I took off to have my son. This is by far the best school I've been to. The majority of teachers CARE. They help me out a LOT knowing that I have a child, and Don't have it easy at home. Despite this, I will be dropping out this week. My guidance counselor, knowing that my mind is made up, is helping me look into different GED programs and helping me to make a stable plan. Most counselors I know wouldn't bother. I love this school, and I'm glad that I got to experience people in power that actually care. I really needed that and it gave me the confidence to make the decisions I have and actually KNOW that i can succeed.
We moved from Bedford, MA to Lowell this past Summer and my son in (9th grade) enjoys it far better here! The Freshman Academy at Lowell High provides a healthy protection from upperclassmen. The size and diversity provides far more class choices with high honors AP classes, sports and after school programs. For advanced kids, the 'great secret' is that there is the Latin Lyceum program (need to test to qualify) which is equivalent to a 'private' school education at a public school cost. The city center also provides musical, cultural, educational experiences at UMass Lowell and the Tsongas Center. We feel our kids are safe to walk around by themselves. The diversity is amazing which reflects the world we live in with Asian, Hispanics, Blacks and Whites. Lowell has been a far better overall educational experience for our kids (14, 13, 9) than a mono-culture suburban environment. Bedford was also great and has its strengths, but moving to Lowell has been one of the best decision we've made.
Lowell High has a well rounded educational advantage for students. It is diverse and has connections with great city leaders and colleges.
my son is going to this school right now,i thought if he went to this school that he would fail his classes,but just the oppisit ,he is thriving in this school,the teachers a great to him,he goes every day,this wk is test wk,he is doing awsome,thanks lowell high,i appreciate all ur help with my son ;)
I am currently a senior at LHS and I don't see the problem with the security guards. I barely see security guards when I am going to my classes. I know they're there but they are just helping with movement of the halls (since there are many kids) and safety. I personally thinki security makes everyone feel more safe. And ID Badges are not a big deal; you put it on your neck and forget about it for the rest of the day. Other than that, Lowell High has great teachers you connect with that can make you laugh and give you a good education at the same time. And with over 30 clubs and activities including Science Club, Yearbook Club, Mock Trial, and Chess Club, LHS makes it easy to get involved. And some of the sports there are the best in the state. GO LHS!
to the person who said there are gangs in th area, aorrry but i have lived in lowell my whole life i hve never heard a gunshot and people are not being pop off every other day. the sucirtity is a little tight ya bu not bad. great classes i had and am having a good time there
Lowell High School in Lowell, Mass. was tops! A diverse student body. We learned to respect differences in one another and look beyond the color of one's skin, the type of last name they had, or from which socioeconomic background from which they came....we were challenged to ask questions, be curious, and to embrace life-long learning, and finally we learned through the role models of our teachers and administrators to give back to the community and to the country. LHS forever!
I went to Lowell High School Class of 07. It was a great school despite the negative talk about LHS being a bad school with many problems. It has many facilities that care about the students and their educations. The school help many students prepare for college with their many college prep programs. The school also provides many after school programs. It also has diversity like no other school has. LHS ROCKS!
I'm a freshman at Lowell high now and it's the best high school ever!!! Diverse cultures and activities make this school special. A year ago, I attended Dunedun Highland Middle School in Palmharbor, Florida and it's nothing compared to Lowell high even though it is a wealthier school. W00t Lammy!!
Its an awesome school. I absoulutely love it here and I feel that it has helped me for life on my own. I love being in an academy, and it feels like my second family. There are a multitude of clubs and afterschool activities. Tutoring is alos available. But yeah, I've had some pretty awesome times here. Security may be a little tight but its only for our safety.
I went to Lowell High School, graduated in 1998 before all these fun extras were put in place, and I would have to say that it put me in a great place academically. I felt that it prepared me for college better than other high schools had prepared some of my peers. I knew other students in college who had attended high schools in wealthier districts, of course nearly every district is wealthier than Lowell, who had a much more difficult time adjusting to a college workload. Eight years later, I still feel like I recieved a very high quality education at Lowell High. I was well prepared to write research papers and the like when I was in undergrad. When writing graduate papers, I still think back to writing tips that I learned in a freshman English class.
I went to Lowell High School-Class of 2004,-I have to admit, it was overwhelming to have so much securities in every crack and corners of the school, but it was a good thing because the students can feel more safe, and at lease it's a good confort to the parents to know that 'My son/daughter is going to be safe in school...' Lowell High help me prepare for college, and the teachers are really understanding and communicative. I would recommend this school to my children and everyone else. To me this is a top notch school. With securities and strict rules, this doesn't make the school look bad, the students and how they interact in school is what makes the school look bad, I think.
Being a student at Lowell High, I can tell you all what its like. The atmosphere is great, the security is excellent and the academics are awesome. Lowell High has so much to offer and is a great way to prepare for college.
LHS security is not as bad as these others make it out to be. Other schools (*not LHS) make schools carry clear backpacks, and before entering, each student has to pass the metal detector. LHS' system of ID Badge check is nothing compared to that, and I don't see why more security would be an issue. You want your children at risk of another Columbine? LHS also provides students with the oppurtunities to succeed if they choose to with a list of academic courses that rivals small colleges, ties with Middlesex CC and UML, a wide number of activities and clubs after-school, etc. Compare Lowell High to schools with similar populations and LHS is clearly one of the better.
I also think the security is a bit too overwhelming and are enforced too much.
I think this school average but the security is needed because the overwheming of gangs in the area. I went to LHS and the classes very challenging to me.
we think this school is way too strict with overwhelming security guards making this school making a bad name for its self. Even though with the extracurricular activities this school tries to make, it's still not a very up to scale high class school for anyone besides the people who lives in its own town

|Nolan wants better tackling from Niners' defense
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 14 August 2007 15:18
After one preseason game, Nolan can tell the 49ers still have plenty of work to do before they'll see a return on those investments.
Nolan saw no surprises Tuesday after watching film of the 49ers' 17-13 exhibition loss to the Denver Broncos. Instead, he reiterated his mild game-night criticisms of his new defense's tackling and team play, particularly on the line.
``On defense, we're probably going to have four, five or even six new starters, and there's a process that you have to go through,'' Nolan said. ``We need to learn to play together, because in stopping the run, that's critical.''
Denver's first-team offense marched 67 yards for a score on eight plays in its only action with starting quarterback Jay Cutler on Monday night. San Francisco's defensive starters yielded runs of 11, 9, 6 and 16 yards - and a 24-yard reception by Javon Walker - before Travis Henry's TD plunge.
Nolan knows the 49ers' three-man defensive line will be a work in progress while the club makes its transition to a regular 3-4 scheme. With presumptive starters Bryant Young and Aubrayo Franklin sitting out against the Broncos, the rest of San Francisco's defensive line struggled.
``The D-line as a whole, we need to improve,'' Nolan said. ``When you play run defense, you've got to all play together as one. In the preseason, it's always (obvious) where guys are worried about their individual battles,'' instead of playing solid team defense.
San Francisco's pass defense already looked good to Nolan, even with Pro Bowl cornerback Walt Harris sitting out to rest. Top cornerback Nate Clements and new safety Michael Lewis were solid in their first action, with Lewis making five tackles in the first quarter alone.
``Really, there weren't any surprises after watching the film,'' Nolan said. ``In the areas where we're strong, I think we did a pretty good job. In the areas where we're weak, we showed that. ... It wasn't the kind of game defensively that allows too many guys to shine, but I saw a lot of little things I really did like.''
Nolan isn't seriously worried about any defensive miscues so early in camp. The reserves held Denver to three points over the final 44 minutes, and several young players stood out - including linebacker Patrick Willis, who showed all the talent San Francisco saw in its first-round pick.
``He was very active,'' Nolan said. ``His athletic ability shows, because he gets out of trouble sometimes that some guys cannot get out of, and he's got real good instincts. ... Patrick did a real nice job of some little things that the naked eye wouldn't normally see.''
Willis had four tackles while calling the defensive signals for the second-teamers, and his speed was obvious on several pursuit plays. Once he shook off the butterflies from his first night in an NFL uniform, Willis felt at home in Candlestick Park.
``It was unbelievable,'' Willis said. ``It was faster than I thought it would be. I was nervous at first, but was able to settle down. You can practice all day, but when you get out there on the field, everyone is out there moving 100 mph. Everyone is fighting for their jobs.''
Nolan also had praise Tuesday for backup running backs Maurice Hicks and Michael Robinson, who combined for 55 yards rushing in place of injured starter Frank Gore.
``Both of them are trying to improve on aspects that the other guy is better at,'' Nolan said. ``If something happened to Frank right now, I'd feel very comfortable with those two guys carrying the load.''

10 Things Every Married Couple Should Try Once
Pull out any one of these 10 moves and get ready for hotter, better-than-makeup sex.
By Holly Corbett
About half of people like being bitten, according to the new book, The Sex Habits of Americas. "In the animal kingdom, many animals nibble on each others necks during copulation, lick each other's genitals, and pin each other down," says Dr. Garcia. "It's a type of animalistic sensation that may activate our tactile sensations and get us more excited." You dont have to pull out the vampire moves: Think gentle nibbles rather than full-on bites to avoid freaking out your partner and pushing him past his comfort zone. However, you'll never know if he likes it if you don't give it a try!

PROVIDENCE – Six months since her shocking win in the high jump at last year's outdoor state meet, Kaylnn Pitts was back in her element.
The indoor track & field season began in early December but for the Woonsocket High sophomore on Thursday night it was her first time competing in the vertical leap. Although she has been able to long jump and sprint for the Villa Novans, a tender knee suffered during the fall's volleyball season has kept Pitts away from the high jump area.
WOONSOCKET --- Offensively, Mount St. Charles Academy is sixth out of the state's nine teams in goals scored, and defensively, the Mounties are one of four teams to have surrendered fewer than 10 goals.
But there's one huge reason why the Mounties are sitting atop the standings with a 5-0 mark and looking like a potent squad in excellent shape to defend their state championship come March.
"I think we have the depth that any team in the league would envy," offered MSC coach Steve Shea. "I feel like we have depth at every position, which is very nice to have."
