Right now many local leaders say the state of education for Latinos in Minnesota, is in crisis. But some new techniques at a Minneapolis school are getting positive results.
Just half of all Latino students in Minnesota graduate from high school, according to the U.S. Department of Education. And that's the lowest in the country. KSTP caught up with a team, trying to change that, that's seeing some success.
Adrian Vazquez and Maria Nava are two of the high school seniors graduating from El Colegio this year.
It's been a long road that's difficult to put into words. "I believe more in myself now, and they," Nava said. She paused and teared up saying, "Oh my gosh I'm going to cry, oh I can't do this." But that's just it – at El Colegio, Nava learned she can.
She no longer lacks self-esteem. "I learned that I had a voice, you know and I'm like, I'm motivated, so I'm taking that with me and I believe that I can get really far and one day I want to come back here and teach others."
And to help them get there – there's an auction. The college-bound seniors can use the money raised for living expenses. "The event is called Mira Mi Corazon," Vazquez said. In English that's "Look At My Heart."
El Colegio's Executive Director Norma Garces said, "When the students come to El Colegio typically they come in emotionally, educationally and culturally broken so their heart is fixed here."
And for the first time, all of the seniors at El Colegio took their ACTs, did well, and the 12 of them have a plan to go to a local college.
School leaders say the success is based on: consistent, one-on-one academic counseling, weekly university mentorship initiatives, and instilling confidence. "You cannot educate someone who does not believe that they can do it," Garces said.
Vazquez now believes he has educational roots that will allow him to grow. "I am really excited to go to the university and try my best. I really do want to accomplish this dream." Vazquez's dream is to be a doctor. Nava wants to be a teacher.
There are currently 24 juniors at El Colegio. They're hoping their graduation success will increase again next year.

Before the invention of mechanical clocks, timepieces used the sun's motion or simple measurement devices to track time. The sundial may be the best known ancient keeper of time, and it is still manufactured as a popular garden accessory—but for its visual interest, not for practical time measurement. Stonehenge, the giant monument built of upright stones on the Salisbury Plain of Wiltshire, England, may have been used as a sundial and for other time and calendar purposes. Sundials have obvious disadvantages; they can't be used indoors, at night, or on cloudy days.
Other simple measurement devices were used to mark time. Four basic types could be used indoors and regardless of the weather or time of day. The candle clock is a candle with lines drawn around it to mark units of time, usually hours. By observing how much of the length of a candle burned in one hour, a candle made of the same material was marked with lines showing one-hour intervals. An eight-hour candle showed that four hours had passed when it had burned down beyond four marks. The clock candle had the disadvantages that any changes in the wick or wax would alter burning properties, and it was highly subject to drafts. The Chinese also used a kind of candle clock with threads used to mark the time intervals. As the candle burned, the threads with metal balls on their ends fell so those in the room could hear the passage of the hours as the balls pinged on the tray holding the candle.
The oil lamp clock that was used through the eighteenth century was a variation and improvement on the candle clock. The oil lamp clock had divisions marked on a metal mount that encircled the glass reservoir containing the oil. As the level of oil fell in the reservoir, the passage of time was read from the markings on the mount. Like the candle clock, the oil lamp clock also provided light, but it was less prone to inaccuracies in materials or those caused by drafty rooms.
Water clocks were also used to mark the passage of time by allowing water to drip from one container into another. The marks of the sun's motion were made on the first container, and, as water dripped out of it and into another basin, the drop in water level showed the passage of the hours. The second container was not always used to collect and recycle the water; some water clocks simply allowed the water to drip on the ground. When the eight-hour water clock was empty, eight hours had passed. The water clock is also known as the clepsydra.
Hourglasses (also called sand glasses and sand clocks) may have been used by the ancient Greeks and Romans, but history can only document the fact that both cultures had the technology to make the glass. The first claims to sand glasses are credited to the Greeks in the third century b.c. History also suggests sand clocks were used in the Senate of ancient Rome to time speeches, and the hourglasses got smaller and smaller, possibly as an indication of the quality of the political speeches.
The hourglass first appeared in Europe in the eighth century, and may have been made by Luitprand, a monk at the cathedral in Chartres, France. By the early fourteenth century, the sand glass was used commonly in Italy. It appears to have been widely used throughout Western Europe from that time through 1500. The hourglass or sand clock follows exactly the same principle as the clepsydra. Two globes (also called phials or ampules) of glass are connected by a narrow throat so that sand (with relatively uniform grain size) flows from the upper globe to the lower. Hourglasses were made in different sizes based on pre-tested measurements of sand flow in different sizes of globes. A housing or frame that enclosed the globes could be fitted to the two globes to form a top and bottom for the hourglass and was used to invert the hourglass and start the flow of sand again. Some hourglasses or sets of hourglasses were set in a pivoted mount so they could be turned easily.

Hieroglyphs emerged from the preliterate artistic traditions of Egypt. For example, symbols on Gerzean pottery from circa4000 BC resemble hieroglyphic writing. For many years the earliest known hieroglyphic inscription was the Narmer Palette, found during excavations at Hierakonpolis (modern Kawm al-Ahmar) in the 1890s, which has been dated to circa 3200 BC. However, in 1998 a German archaeological team under Günter Dreyer excavating at Abydos (modern Umm el-Qa'ab) uncovered tomb U-j of a Predynastic ruler, and recovered three hundred clay labels inscribed with proto-hieroglyphs, dating to the Naqada IIIA period of the 33rd century BC. The first full sentence written in hieroglyphs so far discovered was found on a seal impression found in the tomb of Seth-Peribsen at Umm el-Qa'ab, which dates from the Second Dynasty. In the era of the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom and the New Kingdom, about 800 hieroglyphs existed. By the Greco-Roman period, they numbered more than 5,000.
Scholars generally believe that Egyptian hieroglyphs "came into existence a little after Sumerian script, and, probably [were], invented under the influence of the latter …" For example, it has been stated that it is "probable that the general idea of expressing words of a language in writing was brought to Egypt from Sumerian Mesopotamia." On the other hand, it has been stated that "the evidence for such direct influence remains flimsy" and that "a very credible argument can also be made for the independent development of writing in Egypt…" Given the lack of direct evidence, "no definitive determination has been made as to the origin of hieroglyphics in ancient Egypt."
Hieroglyphs consist of three kinds of glyphs: phonetic glyphs, including single-consonant characters that functioned like analphabet; logographs, representing morphemes; and determinatives, which narrowed down the meaning of a logographic or phonetic words.
As writing developed and became more widespread among the Egyptian people, simplified glyph forms developed, resulting in the hieratic (priestly) and demotic(popular) scripts. These variants were also more suited than hieroglyphs for use onpapyrus. Hieroglyphic writing was not, however, eclipsed, but existed alongside the other forms, especially in monumental and other formal writing. The Rosetta Stone contains three parallel scripts – hieroglyphic, demotic and Greek.
Hieroglyphs continued to be used under Persian rule (intermittent in the 6th and 5th centuries BC), and after Alexander the Great's conquest of Egypt, during the ensuingMacedonian and Roman periods. It appears that the misleading quality of comments from Greek and Roman writers about hieroglyphs came about, at least in part, as a response to the changed political situation. Some believe that hieroglyphs may have functioned as a way to distinguish 'true Egyptians' from the foreign conquerors. Another reason may be the refusal to tackle a foreign culture on its own terms which characterized Greco-Roman approaches to Egyptian culture generally. Having learned that hieroglyphs were sacred writing, Greco-Roman authors imagined the complex but rational system as an allegorical, even magical, system transmitting secret, mystical knowledge.
By the 4th century, few Egyptians were capable of reading hieroglyphs, and the myth of allegorical hieroglyphs was ascendant. Monumental use of hieroglyphs ceased after the closing of all non-Christian temples in AD 391 by the Roman EmperorTheodosius I; the last known inscription is from Philae, known as the The Graffito of Esmet-Akhom, from AD 396
As active knowledge of the hieroglyphs and the related scripts disappeared, numerous attempts were made to decipher the hidden meaning of the ubiquitous inscriptions. The best known example from Antiquity are the "Hieroglyphica" by Horapollo, which offer an explanation of almost 200 glyphs. Horapollo seems to have had access to some genuine knowledge about the hieroglyphs as some words are identified correctly, although the explanations given are invariably wrong (the goose character used to write the word for 'son', z3, for example, is identified correctly, but explained wrongly to have been chosen because the goose loves his offspring the most while the real reason seems to have been purely phonetic). The Hieroglyphica do thus represent the start of more than a millenium of (mis)interpreting the hieroglyphs as symbolic rather than phonetic writing.
In the 9th and 10th century, Arab historians Dhul-Nun al-Misri and Ibn Wahshiyya offered their interpretation of the hieroglyphs. In his English translation of Ibn Wahshiyya's work[10], Joseph Hammer points out that Athanasius Kirchnerused this among several other Arabic works in his own attempts at decipherment.
Kirchner's interpretation of the hieroglyphs is probably the best known early modern European attempt at 'decipherment' (others include the works of Johannes Goropius Becanus), not least for the fantasticness of his claims. Like other interpretations before, Kirchner's 'translations' were hampered by the fundamental notion that hieroglyphs recorded ideas and not the sounds of the language. As no bilingual texts were available, any such symbolic 'translation' could be proposed without the possibility of falsification.
Humanism and Islam

Berkeley–Your author has gone back several times to the marvelous Conference of over a year ago at this city's famous University. Your scribe will converse on some of the comments there as well as his own personal analysis.
Our culture has taken the designation "Semitic" away from the Arab, and transferred it solely to the ethnic Jew. This is incorrect: Both Arabs and Jews come from the Semitic group of peoples, but this denial of the Arab's Semitic roots and the assertion of the Jew's sole determination of such creates the propaganda that the Palestinians are Anti-Semitic. They both share an historical ethnic root that may even be the basis to solve the crisis, but first both groups must acknowledge their common ancestral origins.
Islam dominated Spain for eight hundred years, but loss of its foothold on Southwestern Europe was a great blow to the Ulema, and it is felt to this day. Your writer remembers reading a Nineteenth Century Indian novel that was no more than a lamentation for its loss.
The founder of Christianity, Joshua-Ben Joseph (i.e., Jesus Christus in the Latin) during the two centuries following the (his) death of this second most important Prophet (i.e., Issa in Arabic) of Islam was transformed from a Mediterranean peasant into the Christos (in Greek), "the anointed one" which is close to the Hebrew Messiah. The attempt by early Christians to remake the Subaltern Prophet Issa into a "god" created great problems for the followers of Joshua in the Middle East, and made it easier for the Muslim preachers to convert the predominant Christian population due to the fact that the formulas of the Church Fathers were too confusing to the actual worshippers. On the other hand, the tenants of Islam were simple enough for the common man, but deep enough for the more profound thinkers. Further, horrible schisms had developed in the Primitive Church that had no relevance to the common worshiper.
In the Fifteenth Century, Islam had a presence from the Atlantic to the Pacific that lasted for five hundred years. Unfortunately, for the Ulema, the European "discovery" of the Atlantic (through superior sailing technology) they had developed, had shifted the Center of the World. With it came a Capitalistic society which created a Euro-centric vision.
In the contemporary period, we are leaving the Euro-centric vision. (Even Globalism is now being questioned because of the recent economic crash.) Yet one speaker claimed, as far as the European Union, the traditional nation-State system is breaking down.
The question was poised on how do we deconstruct Islamaphobia that has developed in Western Post-Colonial Europe especially? Although the historical fact is that the Islamic Arab Empire was more modern than Europe's society from the Ninth Century (CE) onward in the terms of their time. Truth during the "Islamic Renaissance," came from the Koran and science (a sort of an itijihad). This openness to enquiry gave the impetus for the great Arab philosophy of the period that had such an impact upon the West. This was a period of enlightenment for especially the Arabic-speaking world!
Curiously, Latin America received its intellectual vigor through the lingering Islamic traditions of Spain! One speaker voiced his opinion that European Islamaphopbia will fade with the shifting demography. There will have to be a dialogue among the various peoples upon this globe.
Controversial Bestseller Shakes the Foundation of the Israeli State
February 5, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Joshua Holland, AlterNet
What if the Palestinian Arabs who have lived for decades under the heel of the modern Israeli state are in fact descended from the very same "children of Israel" described in the Old Testament?
And what if most modern Israelis aren't descended from the ancient Israelites at all, but are actually a mix of Europeans, North Africans and others who didn't "return" to the scrap of land we now call Israel and establish a new state following the attempt to exterminate them during World War II, but came in and forcefully displaced people whose ancestors had lived there for millennia?
What if the entire tale of the Jewish Diaspora — the story recounted at Passover tables by Jews around the world every year detailing the ancient Jews' exile from Judea, the years spent wandering through the desert, their escape from the Pharaoh's clutches — is all wrong?
That's the explosive thesis of When and How Was the Jewish People Invented?, a book by Tel Aviv University scholar Shlomo Zand (or Sand) that sent shockwaves across Israeli society when it was published last year. After 19 weeks on the Israeli best-seller list, the book is being translated into a dozen languages and will be published in the United States this year by Verso.
Its thesis has ramifications that go far beyond some antediluvian academic debate. Few modern conflicts are as attached to ancient history as that decades-long cycle of bloodletting between Israelis and Palestinians. Each group lays claim to the same scrap of land — holy in all three of the world's major Abrahamic religions — based on long-standing ties to that chunk of earth and national identities formed over long periods of time. There's probably no other place on Earth where the present is as intimately tied to the ancient.
Central to the ideology of Zionism is the tale — familiar to all Jewish families — of exile, oppression, redemption and return. Booted from their kingdom, the "Jewish people" — sons and daughters of ancient Judea — wandered the earth, rootless, where they faced cruel suppression from all corners — from being forced to toil in slavery under the Egyptians, to the Spanish massacres of the 14th century and Russian pogroms of the 19th, through to the horrors of the Third Reich.
This view of history animates all Zionists, but none more so than the influential but reactionary minority — in the United States as well as Israel — who believe that God bestowed a "Greater Israel" — one that encompasses the modern state as well as the Occupied Territories — on the Jewish people, and who resist any effort to create a Palestinian state on biblical grounds.
Inventing a People?
Zand's central argument is that the Romans didn't expel whole nations from their territories. Zand estimates that perhaps 10,000 ancient Judeans were vanquished during the Roman wars, and the remaining inhabitants of ancient Judea remained, converting to Islam and assimilating with their conquerors when Arabs subjugated the area. They became the progenitors of today's Palestinian Arabs, many of whom now live as refugees who were exiled from their homeland during the 20th century.
As Israeli journalist Tom Segev summarized, in a review of the book in Ha'aretz:
There never was a Jewish people, only a Jewish religion, and the exile also never happened — hence there was no return. Zand rejects most of the stories of national-identity formation in the Bible, including the exodus from Egypt and, most satisfactorily, the horrors of the conquest under Joshua.
But this begs the question: if the ancient people of Judea weren't expelled en masse, then how did it come to pass that Jewish people are scattered across the world? According to Zand, who offers detailed histories of several groups within what is conventionally known as the Jewish Diaspora, some were Jews who emigrated of their own volition, and many more were later converts to Judaism. Contrary to popular belief, Zand argues that Judaism was an evangelical religion that actively sought out new adherents during its formative period.
This narrative has huge significance in terms of Israel's national identity. If Judaism is a religion, rather than "a people" descended from a dispersed nation, then it brings into question the central justification for the state of Israel remaining a "Jewish state."
And that brings us to Zand's second assertion. He argues that the story of the Jewish nation — the transformation of the Jewish people from a group with a shared cultural identity and religious faith into a vanquished "people" — was a relatively recent invention, hatched in the 19th century by Zionist scholars and advanced by the Israeli academic establishment. It was, argues Zand, an intellectual conspiracy of sorts. Segev says, "It's all fiction and myth that served as an excuse for the establishment of the State of Israel."
Zand Gets Slammed; Do His Arguments Stand Up?
The ramifications of Zand's argument are far-reaching; "the chances that the Palestinians are descendants of the ancient Judaic people are much greater than the chances that you or I are its descendants," he told Ha'aretz. Zand argues that Israel should be a state in which all of the inhabitants of what was once "British Palestine" share the full rights and responsibilities of citizenship, rather than maintaining it as a "Jewish and democratic" state, as it's now identified.
Predictably, Zand was pilloried according to the time-tested formula. Ami Isseroff, writing on ZioNation, the Zionism-Israel blog, invoked the customary Holocaust imagery, accusing Zand of offering a "final solution to the Jewish problem," one in which "No auto da fe is required, no charging Cossacks are needed, no gas chambers, no smelly crematoria." Another feverish ideologue called Zand's work "another manifestation of mental disorder in the extreme academic Left in Israel."
That kind of overheated rhetoric is a standard straw man in the endless roil of discourse over Israel and the Palestinians, and is easily dismissed. But more serious criticism also greeted Zand's work. In a widely read critical review of Zand's work, Israel Bartal, dean of humanities at the Hebrew University, slammed the author's second assertion — that Zionist academics had suppressed the true history of Judaism's spread through emigration and conversion in favor of a history that would give legitimacy to the quest for a Jewish state.
Bartal raised important questions about Zand's methodology and pointed out what appears to be some sloppy details in the book. But, interestingly, in defending Israel's academic community, Bartal supported Zand's more consequential thesis, writing, "Although the myth of an exile from the Jewish homeland (Palestine) does exist in popular Israeli culture, it is negligible in serious Jewish historical discussions." Bartal added: "no historian of the Jewish national movement has ever really believed that the origins of the Jews are ethnically and biologically 'pure.' " He noted that "[i]mportant groups in the [Zionist] movement expressed reservations regarding this myth or denied it completely."
"As far as I can discern," Bartal wrote, "the book contains not even one idea that has not been presented" in previous historical studies. Segev added that "Zand did not invent [his] thesis; 30 years before the Declaration of Independence, it was espoused by David Ben-Gurion, Yitzhak Ben-Zvi and others."
One can reasonably argue that this ancient myth of a Jewish nation exiled until its 20th century return is of little consequence; whether the Jewish people share a common genetic ancestry or are a far-flung collection of people who share the same faith, a common national identity has in fact developed over the centuries. But Zand's central contention stands, and has some significant implications for the current conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
Changing the Conversation?
The primary reason it's so difficult to discuss the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is the remarkably effective job supporters of Israel's control of the Occupied Territories — including Gaza, still under de facto occupation — have done equating support for Palestinian self-determination with a desire to see the destruction of Israel. It effectively conflates any advocacy of Palestinian rights with the specter of Jewish extermination.
That's certainly been the case with arguments for a single-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Until recent years, advocating a "single-state" solution — a binational state where all residents of what are today Israel and the Occupied Territories share the full rights and responsibilities of citizenship — was a relatively mainstream position to take. In fact, it was one of several competing plans considered by the United Nations when it created the state of Israel in the 1940s.
But the idea of a single, binational state has more recently been marginalized — dismissed as an attempt to destroy Israel literally and physically, rather than as an ethnic and religious-based political entity with a population of second-class Arab citizens and the legacy of responsibility for world's longest-standing refugee population.
A logical conclusion of Zand's work exposing Israel's founding mythology may be the restoration of the idea of a one-state solution to a legitimate place in the debate over this contentious region. After all, while it muddies the waters in one sense — raising ancient, biblical questions about just who the "children of Israel" really are — in another sense, it hints at the commonalities that exist between Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs. Both groups lay claim to the same crust of earth, both have faced historic repression and displacement and both hold dear the idea that they should have a "right of return."
And if both groups in fact share common biblical ties, then it begs the question of why the entirety of what was Palestine under the British mandate should remain a refuge for people of one religion instead of being a country in which Jews and Arabs are guaranteed equal protection — equal protection under the laws of a state whose legitimacy would never again be open to question.

The Eagles Add A Dozen 2014 Dates To Tour Itinerary
Friday, November 1, 2013
The Eagles have just tagged a dozen new stops on to their itinerary, which now spreads through March. The band's massively successful 40th Anniversary tour now has 2014 shows on the books for Sacramento and San Jose, California; Las Vegas; Dallas and Houston, Texas; New Orleans; Atlanta; Raleigh, North Carolina; Washington, D.C.; and Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio.
The group's February 29th Dallas show will be a hometown gig for Don Henley. He says that for each band member, hometown shows are both anticipated and dreaded: "Yeah, well, we all have our own areas, y'know. Everybody in the band has a traumatic (laughs) experience on the tour where you play, y'know, in a town where, y'know everybody and you've got a lot of guests and people coming back to wish you well, and that's great. And the family comes, and it adds a little, it adds a little more joy and little more tension at the same time to the gig."

This two-step long-wearing lipstick has a familiar premise, but a slightly different feel. Like other long-wearing products, the color coat goes on first followed by a clear moisturizing topcoat. However, MegaLast's color coat is not overly dry or tight. Rather, its finish and feel is a bit chalky, making it difficult to apply with the stubby applicator. (We achieved better results using a lip brush.) Once dry, Wet 'n' Wild's clear balm stick, rather than the typical glossy topcoat, gives lips some much-needed moisture. The finish may be unique, but the product's wear is not as impressive as that of other drugstore long-wearing lipsticks. Within an hour, the color coat began to break down, leaving a grainy feel on lips. The color selection is wide, with semi-matte and shimmer colors, but more important is that the shades are very true to the packaging.
Wet 'n' Wild is one of the few cosmetics companies around that prides itself on being extraordinarily cheap, although the prices have increased across the board since we last revisited this brand. But don't let its hokey name and pre-teen marketing tactics deter you, because there are some great options available, and the packaging has improved in almost every category. The best-performing products will seem like steals, while the less impressive to horrible products will quickly have you thinking, "you get what you pay for." It is not very often that a line offers such a procession of clear-cut winners and dismal losers, but once you know what to focus on, you won't get soaked by Wet 'n' Wild. This line is available in most major drugstores across the country, and, like most drugstore lines, does not offer testers. Interestingly, the selection of Wet 'n' Wild in Canadian drugstores tends to be better than what U.S. shoppers will find.

I purchased two colors of the Wet n Wild Megalast Liquid Lip Color at Target. The two shades are "I Can Bare It" and "Rose to the Occasion". I liked both the colors but the texture, feel, and overall look on my lips was in one word "terrible". My lips felt very sticky, did not apply well as there was little forgiveness in the control of where it went on your lips, and it was extremely drying and looked chalky. Sorry for the complaint, but this product is dreadful.

Tracey Nogler earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Secondary Education with an emphasis in English from Arizona State University. She later graduated with a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction from University of Phoenix, and just started the doctorate degree process through Grand Canyon University. She currently works as a high school Teacher Mentor in Arizona .
As an online instructor for the College of Education, Tracey takes great pleasure in working with up and coming teachers, as well as teachers furthering their education. She is passionate about providing feedback and guidance to help prepare students for their fantastic journey into their own classroom. One of her greatest joys is working with adult learners and gaining knowledge from peers on instructional practices.
Tracey enjoys spending her spare time with her loving and supportive husband and teenage son. She also enjoys reading, board games, soccer practices/games, movies, and an occasional evening in front of the television.
How has facilitating online courses at GCU helped you find your purpose?
I love the fact that I can impact student achievement even outside of the traditional classroom. Facilitating classes at GCU provides an opportunity to see what avenues are available to create a positive impact at the university level.
What is one effective teaching strategy you use in your online classes?
I utilize many questioning techniques to get students thinking at a deeper level. In our weekly discussions, I generally respond with questions, so students can think about a topic from a different angle. Sometimes my questions help them voice, or sometimes establish, their teaching philosophies.
What is a GCU online student success story you can share?
In August 2011, I was teaching an Adolescent Learning course. We were approximately three weeks into the course and Hurricane Irene hit. I had four students whose lives were devastated by her. With their hard work and my extra time and effort, all four students completed the course and moved on to their student teaching without a hiccup in their transcripts.

Just moved to the Tulsa, Oklahoma USA area from the Los Angeles area. Big adjustment, but mostly good. However, miss the "dining culture." And....TRADER JOE'S! But looking forward to being able to GROW my own food. That should be interesting.
Can't get used to the fact that people eat here when it's still light out. Granted, the summer days are longer, but that's no excuse. Also can't get used to the fact that it rains in the summer.
Champagne. Sushi. Champagne and sushi. If I had to order a last meal, it would be....sushi and a well chilled bottle of..... I think the reason I like these items so much is that I am a very efficient person, and both merge right into the blood stream with a minimum of effort and a maximum of effect. All other food is merely a variation on this theme -- for everyday, I prefer seafood and a very dry white wine (Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc).

TUC press release
Commenting on the announcement today that the government is to reduce the minimum redundancy consultation period and remove the right to redundancy from employees on fixed-term contracts, TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said:
"The last thing we need is for the government to make it easier to sack people. Unemployment has not gone as high as many feared because employers have worked with unions to save jobs, even if it has meant sharing round fewer hours and less work.
"The need to consult unions has made an important contribution to that, and also given staff, many of whom will have had years of loyal service, time to think through their options.
"These measures will not create a single extra job. The idea that an employer will change their mind about taking someone on because the statutory redundancy consultation period has been reduced from 90 to 45 days is close to absurd.
"Removing consultation rights from fixed-term contract staff will seriously increase job and financial insecurity for vulnerable groups of workers, and temporary staff will lose out on redeployment opportunities."

To say that things are difficult right now for former Miami Dolphins receiver Chad Johnson would be an understatement. After being arrested for allegedly head-butting his wife, Evelyn Lozada (above), Johnson was cut by the Dolphins and lost his endorsement deal with a coconut water company that I've never heard of. Now, the gossip sites are like vultures picking the meat from his pass-dropping carcass, as Radar Online is "reporting" that Johnson had numerous affairs going on with random women across the country during his short marriage.
"He is constantly scouring Twitter flirting with women, and if he sees someone he likes he has them direct message their number to him so they can meet up in person," a source exclusively told RadarOnline.com.
The disgraced former NFL star has been carrying out a number of illicit affairs with several women for the past year, said the insider, during which time he took them to his favorite bars, brazenly tweeted with them and even let one girlfriend drive the Smart Car that Basketball Wives star Lozada bought him!
Aside from the head-butting thing – which is awful because domestic violence ain't cool – it's hard to feel bad for Lozada, as a woman who became famous because she was once engaged to the gravitational pull known as Antoine Walker. But that's still no excuse for Johnson to be cheating.
One of the women named is "urban model" and stripper Amber Priddy, and she's none too pleased about some of these accusations, specifically that Johnson was paying her rent.
But don't get her wrong, she loves the rest of the attention.
Also, she sucks at keeping secrets.
So just who is Amber Priddy? Let's check her out.

Since February is the month to ditch plastic, we thought a good topic to speak about today is going green at home. First, here are three ways to avoid plastic in the month of February.
Going green isn't always about spending the greens. You can do a few little things to make you or your home more sustainable, environmentally conscious, and even cost efficient amongst other things. Some ways to do this are:
Here is a green kitchen tip from Wanderlust Speakeasy alumni Mariel Hemingway. How will you make a difference this month? Will you use less plastic?

Barbara Siemann woke to the sound of footsteps in her hallway just after 3:30 a.m. on June 1. Judging by the blurred digital clock on her cell phone, it was far too early for her seventeen-year-old daughter to be getting home from staying the night at a friend's house. Yet who else could be wandering in the hall, turning out the light?
Reluctantly, Siemann dragged herself out of bed to investigate. And there he was, standing in her hallway, staring.
"Who the fuck are you?" she screamed. "Get the fuck out of my house!"
The man was dark, husky and short, swaying and making an eerie moaning sound. Siemann felt sure he was ready to pounce. But he pushed passed her and out the front door. Then, just as quickly, he came back in through a side entrance to her TV room. Never had her spacious Cherry Hills house, with its copious windows and sliding glass doors, seemed so vulnerable.
Frantic, Siemann ran back to her bedroom and lunged for her panic button. Meanwhile, she could hear the man clattering in the kitchen, ransacking her drawers in search of a knife. "Oh, my God," she thought. "He's gonna get a knife and kill me."
Out the sliding doors, past the pool and over to a neighbor's house she ran. She pounded on the door, called 911 and waited for her breath to slow.
At that moment, she had no idea that the man she'd found in her hallway was on his second break-in of the night. Or that less than a mile away in Greenwood Village, he had heaved a stone through the first-floor window of another stranger's house, crawled over the nineteen-year-old boy sleeping beneath the window, grabbed two paring knives out of a kitchen drawer, and tried to smash out another window to escape. Or that he'd then headed to Siemann's place, where he broke a window and wandered, bleeding, through the rooms. At one point, he'd even stood above Siemann's bed, silently dripping blood on her floor.
She knew none of this. Not until the police came over to deliver even stranger news: They had caught the intruder, a nineteen-year-old from Adams County named Rogelio Hernandez-Dominguez. But when they found him, he was lying on the bed in one of her spare rooms, covered in blood, stabbing himself relentlessly in the stomach.
Cherry Hills is not accustomed to such drama. One of Denver's wealthiest suburbs, its residents have fountains in their yards, tennis courts off their driveways and whole neighborhoods walled off from the main road with bricks and ivy. The police department is an understated affair, tucked into Village Hall, right across from Cherry Hills Village elementary school. There are 21 sworn officers on staff, including just one general detective, Jake Campbell, and one lieutenant, Jody Sansing.
Both men were on the scene the morning that Hernandez-Dominguez broke into Siemann's home. And Sansing is quick to defend the decisions they made.
"I don't want the impression that we dropped the ball on this, because we did the best — everything we could," he says.
When the cops found him, Hernandez-Dominguez was stabbing himself with a ten-inch kitchen knife, according to the police report. Even after they aimed their guns and ordered him to drop the weapon, he drove the knife into his abdomen at least two more times. There was, as one officer noted, "a remarkable amount of blood." The cops called an ambulance to take him to Swedish Medical Center in Englewood.
Two days after the break-in, Sansing and Campbell interviewed Hernandez-Dominguez and his family at the hospital. From bed, where he was still groggy from pain medication, the young man explained that he didn't remember much from that night.
What he did recall sounded more like hallucination than reality: He went to work detailing cars, came home to his parents' house in Adams County and then went out drinking at a bar with a friend named "Charlie," according to Campbell's written affidavit. Back at Charlie's place, the two kept drinking — although Hernandez-Dominguez said he'd only had "a couple" beers over four hours.
On his way home, he told police, a car began tailing him with its brights on. He tried to lose it, but the car seemed to chase him. He decided to drive to his boss's south Denver home for help. But when he got there, his pursuers pushed him through a window. Then someone hit him with a bottle, and he took off running.
"He did not know who the people were or see them, and he doesn't know why they were chasing him," Campbell wrote in the affidavit. "He said that he didn't want to hurt anyone or take anything from anyone."
Based on this interview and the chaos of the crime scene, the cops concluded that Hernandez-Dominguez had had some kind of psychotic episode, some sort of break from reality. "We came to the conclusion that he wasn't right mentally," Campbell says.
His parents, in halting English, told the cops that their son didn't have a history of mental illness, didn't use drugs and "rarely" drank alcohol. But his girlfriend, Violeta Vidales, mentioned one other episode that sounded strange. Once, at a party, Hernandez-Dominguez suddenly grew paranoid that someone was going to hurt him. He became so frightened, she said, that they had to leave the party. "She thought it was very odd, it was out of the blue, she didn't see any reason for it," Campbell says.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Princess Leia, a Richmond Doberman Pinscher dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Doberman Pinscher for sale in Richmond, or seeking a Doberman Pinscher dog from a breeder in Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richmond already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Richmond breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Doberman Pinscher breeders who help with Doberman Pinscher rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

Smashwords Outage Last Weekend
Dan Holloway, author of the highly rated Songs from the Other Side of the Wall informed me that Smashwords had experienced an outage for several hours over the weekend. He was concerned the timing was particularly bad as it coincided with the time our weekly email digest of ebook releases gets sent out.
I asked Smashword's founder, Mark Coker what had happened. Here is his response.
We had two separate outages Sunday, each caused by the same problem, though it took the second outage for us to verify the exact cause (a single author's attempt to publish a bad file caused Meatgrinder to go haywire, causing a crash on each of her two upload attempts). The author was probably not as badly affected as they think. Despite being down for a just over 50% of the day's hours, the site's traffic dropped only 18% from the previous day, according to Google Analytics. I think the impact was mitigated because half the downtime occurred while the US was sleeping, and by around 2pm Pacific the problem was resolved.
Smashwords has always been a very reliable service. This is the first time I've ever heard of any serious outage.
On the positive side, Smashwords have just announced a distribution agreement with Sony, allowing Smashword authors to publish their works at the Sony eBook store. This comes just 4 weeks after a similar agreement was reached with Barnes and Noble.

Economy in a position of strength, says Swan
PUBLISHED: 31 Aug 2010 16:14:59 | UPDATED: 02 Sep 2010 04:02:15PRINT EDITION: 31 Aug 2010
Treasurer Wayne Swan says a range of upbeat data released on Tuesday showed that the Australian economy is in a strong position despite increased global uncertainty.
Tuesday's data showed a sharp reduction in the current account deficit in the June quarter due to a surge in exports, which will add to growth in Wednesday's national accounts.
More up to date data for retail spending and building approvals for July were also stronger than expected.
"This data shows that despite increased global uncertainty, Australia's economy is in a strong position and continues to benefit from the sound economic management that saw Australia fight off recession," Mr Swan said in a brief statement.
"The data is yet another example of the strong foundations and good policy settings that mean Australia faces the global challenges ahead from a position of strength and stability."

I have just returned from 10 days in Colorado, relaxing and busy all at the same time, high-school graduations being the highlight.
Grandson Jesse Baker and granddaughter Maylea Young both excelled at CIVA Charter School, earning awards for best attendance and being the top students in mathematics, science and social studies. They were also part of a three-student video team to win the school $10,000, second place in the state.
Traveling to Colorado with me were granddaughter Kayla Estes, great-granddaughter Gabrielle Estes and granddaughter Kaitlyn Gardner, 13, who, on her first flight, was a little nervous but quickly relaxed.
We also enjoyed a long weekend at a lodge near the Continental Divide, walking the Garden of the Gods, seeing a college-theater presentation of "Hairspray" and eating great food.
Kayla and Gabby stayed for a longer visit. Katie and I got up at 5:30 a.m. June 2. Our daughter Carrie Lee drove us one hour north to Denver International Airport to depart at 9 a.m.
Moving away from the terminal, the captain announced a red light showed engine problems, but not to worry, in an hour we'd be in flight and could make our connections. He shouldn't have been so sure of himself. On arrival in Atlanta, we checked the monitor, and our flight had left eight minutes before we got there.
The Delta service-desk employee said, "You can stay overnight in Atlanta, all expenses paid … No, wait, they have you re-booked on a flight to Minneapolis-St. Paul at Gate A1, and it's leaving shortly, so get down there right now!"
Remembering we were at Gate A32, we hastened to the new gate, only to be told that the flight doesn't leave for an hour. We sank into uncomfortable chairs, tired and just wanting to be in Albany. Soon we boarded and were upgraded to "plus seats," probably to appease our grumbly looks.
In Minneapolis-St.Paul, we easily maneuvered from Concourse G/Gate 32 to Concourse A/Gate 17. After we ate, we heard the flight was canceled due to mechanical problems but a smaller aircraft would be provided. We would be leaving an hour later than scheduled, and the flight was overbooked. Many took the airline offer to give up their seat for a $400 voucher, and we eventually boarded.
All this time, I'm praying that my husband, Toby, didn't leave home until he checked the answering machine, on which I had left a message telling him that my 5 p.m. arrival in Albany was now close to midnight.
I eventually found out that he had left Plattsburgh after having coffee at Campus Corner without going home and checking the machine. Thankfully, he had waited seven hours for us, but he said another 15 minutes, and he was headed to Plattsburgh.
My luggage was small enough to carry on. Katie's was 3 inches too wide, so it had to be paid for and checked. It didn't make it to Albany when we did.
We filed a claim and were told it would be in Albany the next day at 11:30 a.m., with delivery that afternoon to Schuyler Falls, near Plattsburgh. We spelled both locations, plus zip codes. I reminded her that we live two and a half hours north of Albany and that it was Sunday. She said it would be delivered.
Sunday night came, and no luggage. I called Delta; they said it was assigned for delivery ... to Ogdensburg on Cape Air. Ogdensburg? I called Cape Air, Ogdensburg, and a very sympathetic employee named Bryan said it was there, marked for delivery to Rennselaer Falls, about 10 miles from Ogdensburg. Could he send it to Plattsburgh by Fedex or UPS? He couldn't do that because his manager was away on two weeks vacation, and he had no authority.
He said it could be put back on Cape Air to Albany, then sent to Boston and then to Saranac Lake, the only way to get it close to Plattsburgh.
At about 4 p.m. Monday, Cape Air agent Ron called from Lake Clear Airport, near Saranac Lake. The suitcase was there. How did we want to get it? Fortunately, Ron lives in Plattsburgh and volunteered, on his own time, to meet me on Route 9 for the hand over of the luggage. Can you believe it?
Needless to say, when Toby and I drove the luggage to Peasleeville, Katie was one happy person. She had her best jeans, new clothes and souvenirs in that suitcase — important items to a teen.
So the question is: Will Katie fly again after all this rigmarole? She said, "Yes" — if I will take her to London next time. Oh, the dreams of youth! I'm getting too old for this.
One last thought, please be kind to each other. The world needs more kindness.

Q: Most of the time, I meet with my clients at their place of business, but on occasion they come to my home office. In cases where the client is new, I'm uncomfortable being alone in my home with a stranger of the opposite sex (I'm female). What can I do to feel less threatened?

Q: Lucky for me, I'm not the only person in my apartment building who works at home, because other than morning visits to a coffeehouse for java, I can go a whole week without seeing anyone during my workday. It's nice to have a work-at-home neighbor I can take a break with from time to time, but are there other solutions to the lack of "water cooler" conversation when you spend your workday alone?

Steven Udvar Hazy's Air Lease venture continues its order sweep at the show as it handed Boeing and ATR 64 firm orders on day two.
Boeing commercial aircraft president Jim Albaugh believes Air Lease is "buying more airplanes than anybody here", as Hazy placed a firm order for 54 737-800s and six options.
Air Lease's Boeing order joins a firm order for 51 Airbus A320 family aircraft. Additionally, Air Lease signed a letter of intent for 10 Embraer 190s.
Many find Hazy's decision to purchase the 70-seat ATR 72-600 turboprop intriguing since his International Lease Finance portfolio rested on Airbus and Boeing narrow and widebodies.
Hazy speaks bullishly of the -600 version, calling it latest technological and most fuel efficient of the larger turboprops, "that offers the lowest cost to our customers".
The Air Lease chief executive says the primary emphasis on placement for the ATR 72-600s is markets outside the USA, and roughly 16 airlines have expressed an interest in the aircraft.
He believes the 106-seat E-190s Air Lease aims to purchase are "almost like mainline aircraft", and characterises the E-190 family as a "real success project in the 70- to 100-seat category".
Air Lease's order for 60 737-800s is the lessor's single largest order at the show, says company president John Plueger, and Hazy stresses the -800 version will "be a major part of our lease portfolio".
Hazy and Air Lease plan to focus mainly on narrowbodies and a limited number of 777s and A330s during the next 36 months, says Hazy. The company already has acquired 25-26 737-700s/800s and a number of other A320 family aircraft from operators and lessors, and plans to add two 777s in December and January. Hazy says Air Lease has also committed to four A330s.
