Thursday, November 13. 2008Europe or the US? Educational Questions We Need to AskPosted by Editors in European Issues, Transatlantic Relations, US Domestic and Cultural Issues on Thursday, November 13. 2008 Sarah Scrafford, who regularly writes on the topic of Online University Rankings, wrote this guest post: Are European and US college programs equivalent? The transatlantic divide is being further torn apart by the educational argument. The fierce debate rages on – are the three year degrees offered by institutions in the UK and across most of Europe equivalent to the four year programs on offer at US colleges? If not, which of them is the more superior? Are graduates of the shorter program less smart than their American counterparts? Or is it vice versa? Colleges in the USA are being urged to consider admitting students from the UK and other parts of Europe where three year undergraduate degrees are the norm, to their graduate programs, without requiring them to take additional courses to qualify. Their argument – the first year of any degree program is dedicated to general education courses with the specialization (or major) starting only in the second year. European and UK universities focus on the major right from the word go, and so are able to learn as much as the Americans in just three years. As for the fact that three year graduates are asked to take an extra course to qualify for a graduate program across the Atlantic, British academics argue that this is a wasted exercise since they're just learning what they already know – the year they've missed is the first year, the one that teaches general education. But the extra course they take deals with their major once again, a repeat of what they've already learned in college. Other allegations and arguments abound, as to why the United States is refusing to change and standardize its education system with the most of the rest of the world (Australia and India are two other countries that follow three year undergraduate degree programs), and most of them are not exactly flattering to the US: · Some accuse US institutions of being money-minded – a four year program will cost more for tuition than a three year equivalent. · Others are skeptical of the quality of high school education in the US – they allege that high school graduates are lagging behind when compared to UK and European standards, and so require that extra year (freshman) of college to bring them up to speed with the rest of the world. Besides this, in the US, kindergarten students begin a year or two later than their peers in the UK and Europe. This puts them at a distinct disadvantage when they reach high school. Supporters of the US educational system on the other hand, have this to say in their defense: · Institutions are hesitant to admit three year graduates because, even though they're smart, they're not well-versed in marketing their skills. They're often unable to communicate or even write well. You may be a high-flying engineer, doctor or lawyer, but it all boils down to nothing if you cannot write or orate well. Regardless of which is better, there are some who argue that the US must rethink its policies and admit graduates of three year programs because: · Countries like India, which boasts an excellent K12 education program and currently sends the largest number of foreign students to the country each year, have a three year degree system in place. If the US throws open its educational doors to them, colleges will see a massive rise in the level of enrollment, and correspondingly in their profit margins. · If they do not do so, they will end up losing promising students to other countries where they are accepted, and the tuition fees are much cheaper.

in France education has progressive degrees after 2 years DEUG, then you can apply for a school of educattion in IUFM, 3 years where you are paid for studying) licence, 3 years, Master, 4 years Doctorat, 8 years http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_des_dipl%C3%B4mes_en_France I have a DEUG in history of Art (2 years, many more years in a Sculpture school, cause of the "atelier" also a DNA in Art school (2 years) Though, in this discipline it's more personal work that gives results than theory learning if you want to become a teacher you have to get a CAPES or Agregation (PHD) for any discipline I think that the school year is longer in our country (beginning of november until june) than in the US, it's may-be why the global cursus is shorter

The "school year" in the US is either 2 out of 3 simesters, or in some places 3 out of 4 quarters and runs generally from early September to mid May. Either way, one could have gone to once you start working it really doesn't matter if you went to Po-dunk U. We have French people here who too 2 and 3 year programs who do well enough compared to people with 4 year degrees, and a few people who never finished University altogether who are the same.

Having hired them from both sides of the pond, they both reflect a similar distribution of talent, interest, and degree of preparation. The American self-loathing fable of the inferiority of their own education might make one feel smart to say, but in the end it's meaningless. Either way there are a few recent graduates whom you can't even trust with the kiddie scissors. That said, I can't picture even the most delusional American college student indulging themselves in the ideas that the French students did over the CPE strikes - the idea that the job of ones' choice can be somehow demanded at will and guaranteed to the program graduate for life.

"Others are skeptical of the quality of high school education in the US " That is a polite understatement. I am an adjunct professor at a public college and can confirm that a large percentage of American students are graduating high school with insufficient writing and math skills. The first year of college in the US is more and more devoted to remedial education. This is the case at colleges and universities across the country.

David, Also here, the first year at university is the most boring year for university teachers, too many students can't manage orthograph and or maths, so, after the first trimester 1/4 are eliminated or are walking off on their own will ; at the end of the year, another 1/4 are moving off because of their lack of conaissance, or change of discipline at the end of the 2nd year, another half are moving off, wether they start another orientation such as : teaching school, army, navy,law faculty, HEC... Art school, theater, or enter into the real working world, get married, babies...

David, a brief question. Is thsi an actual effect or an artifact of the college you teach at? Public colleges range from the likes of Michigan down to Shippensberg State, and the portion of the educational bell curve you encounter depends very much upon where you are. Moreover, I believe that the distribution of students well-prepared for college was far more widespread 30 or 50 years ago than it is today. That is top students 30 years ago were far more likely to attend a non-elite school than they are today; years ago many of these students attended local colleges like CCNY for undergrad rather than the Ivies. Today well-prepared students are more aware of where they fit into the spectrum than they were. My point is that if one is teaching at one of the less-prestigious public universities or at a 2 year school, one may well be seeing a marked decline in well-prepared students at one's institution without there existing as marked a decline in the student population at large. Could this be true in your case? I think there is a trend for many students to drop out of the technical subjects earlier than in the past. Specifically higher math and the sciences. I was an earlier example of such a student although in my case the dropout wasn't voluntary. I attended a very small and impoverished public school which lacked the resources to provide advanced science and math courses so I arrived at university underprepared in these fields and also unable to write well, although I did very well on the ACT test.

Don, I teach part-time at a community college. We serve the poorer students - those with bad test scores as well as those who cannot afford a private school or even a state university. We also get older students looking to change careers and acquire new skills: these are usually much more motivated. But the problems we have with incoming students at my college are unfortunately not unique. This [url=http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2008-09-15-Colleges-remedialclasses_N.htm]AP article appeared recently[/url]: "It's a tough lesson for millions of students just now arriving on campus: even if you have a high school diploma, you may not be ready for college. In fact, a new study calculates, one-third of American college students have to enroll in remedial classes. The bill to colleges and taxpayers for trying to bring them up to speed on material they were supposed to learn in high school comes to between $2.3 billion and $2.9 billion annually."

I used to sit next to a colleague in IT who was a teacher at Suffolk College, basically a Brit version of a community college, and he said many of the things you are writing. The 'high cost' of remedial education neither shocks or dismays me; $3 billion in an economy of $13 trillion is relatively small beer. In fact I think it possible and even likely that we are spending too little rather than too much on remedial education. If remedial courses can get people into a postion where they can benefit from courses of higher education, earn more money, and potentially enrich their lives in other ways I'd say $3 billion is cheap - compared to the costs of not doing it. What bothers me is the motivational factor you mention, because this is where the problem lies in my opinion. It's not so much a failure of motivation as a poverty of imagination for poor students and (sometimes) their teachers. They find it difficult to visualize themselves doing something different, something better, becoming highly-skilled and highly paid knowledge workers, even though they possss the capacity to do these things.

One more thing, David. From what I understand about 30% of US high schools are doing a pretty horrible job. It's partly low funding and bad teaching, but much of the problem begins at home and in the neighborhood. My mother returned to schoolteaching for a while during the 80's and listening to her gave me an interesting perspective. She was a caucasian teaching mostly negro kids who had been bused across the city to a school in a more caucasian neighborhood. Her first year she was lucky. The most influential kid in her class was a smart kid whose 'light' went on that year. He'd recently begun to live with an aunt who was a very solid lady, and there was a lot of mutual respect all around. The boy had been behind in his studies but made up 3 or 4 years ground, and by the end of the year was admitted to one of the best high schools in the city (this was an 8th grade class). The rest of the class dod pretty well also. The next year wasn't so lucky. The leader that year was also a very talented young man, but this one couldn't be bothered to do anything but disrupt the class. When the teacher gave him a lousy grade, his mother visited the school breathing fire, and filed a grievance for racism. Mother never got a handle on that kid. When she tried to tell him about the great future he could have, he sneered at it and indicated that he was going to be a dealer. Apparently this was the family business, or so he implied. This kid had a lot of facile charm and managed to convince the principal that my mother was against him, but didn't bother to charm the lowly vice principals. One day he went a bit too far and hit my mother in front of the class. One of the Vice Principals, a huge gentle black gentleman, came in and swept the kid out of the classroom. The VP had what he wanted and forcibly transferred the kid. A shame but it was the best thing for the class, if not the kid. This is the kind of thing which happens in these kinds of schools. Some kids do Ok, but just keeping control of things can be a tough job.

Obviously there is a pecking order in post-secondary education. I am an associate professor at a mid-sized comprehensive university in the Northeast. I have certainly seen many students who don't belong in college but who are nonetheless decent, hardworking and shrewd. I believe that the US should put resources and scholarships into meaningful post-secondary vocational training. The idea that every high-school senior should attend college is not only naive but destructive to those students who clearly cannot benefit from a university-level curriculum and would be much happier and more productive doing something else. We live in a credential-crazed world, and we should provide rigorous and respected certification for students who want to work with their hands. And let's face it, in this current economy, who will prosper: the plumber or the stock analyst?

Sue, I'm not sure I believed what you wrote, that 'decent, hardworking, and shrewd' students don't *belong* in college? Why not? Because their preperation lacks a little something? I came from the smallest high school in the state of Wisconsin. The course offerings left a great deal to be desired and I left not knowing a great deal about math and lacking rigorous experimental science. On the other hand I had pretty much swallowed the contents of the local public library and had technical problem-solving skills because my class had produced our own annual. So perhaps I didn't belong at University? It's true I was behind and come in not knowing how to write well, but a acid-tongued teacher in Freshmen English remedied the latter deficiency and hard work the former, in time. I think it's important that students be given an opportunity to attend college, and if that means remedial courses are needed, so be it. Better that way than the massice triage that one sees in French and Italian institutions where there is a 50% dropout rate over the first two years....

I think that Sue's point was that many intelligent students are pointed at and often coerced to seek academic degrees while ignoring that it often takes just as much intelligence to go into a technical field. It takes, in the US, slightly longer to become a certified diver/welder, for an oil rig company, then it does to become a high school principal. And that diver, though in a high risk profession often makes $100,000 to $200,000 a year. As a result many of the kids coming into the JCs and the state colleges are often the same students that should have had what were called manual arts in college. But teachers, board members and superintendents get that photo in the paper not by graduating more plumbers and auto mechanics but in how many enter into college. The fact that so many leave vs. the graduation rate might be an indication of a lack of basic scholarship but also could be that not every kid is suited or is interested in becoming a white collar worker.

We offer rigorous programs in HVAC, electronics, building construction, automotive, etc... often working together with local businesses to provide internships. Problem is, today these jobs require higher math skills, knowledge of computers, etc. Many kids drop out of the automotive program because advanced algebra is required and they can't pass the course. Back in the day, advanced algebra was required in order to graduate high school.
- #188.8.131.52 - 2008-11-17 23:57 -
Don, a student such are you were, who is obviously interested in academics and is willing to do what's needed to get up to speed, should have a shot at college. But I was speaking of students who lack motivation in academics, who just aren't interested in the life of the mind. I think they are criminally misserved by the relentless pressure placed on them by the educational establishment to get a Bachelor's degree; it sets them up for failure and financial hardship. These kids never read a book voluntarily, and they have no academic interests. Their presence in a university ultimately does them no good. In fact, they usually end up leaving after two years and thousands of dollars down the drain. It's such a waste.

My MA thesis was the Winner ex aequo of the CES Award for Young Social Scientists from Portuguese-speaking Countries 2007. Biennial and International award for the best research monograph written by young researchers from any of the nine countries having Portuguese as their official language.
The resulting book - A Tinta, a Mariposa e a Metástase: a arte como experiência, conhecimento e acção sobre o cancro de mama [The Paint, the Mariposa and the Metastasis: art as experience, knowledge and intervention on breast cancer] – was published in Portuguese by Edições Afrontamento and CES [Centre for Social Studies].
The book presents a visceral and reflective analysis of twenty-four art projects shaped around the feminine experience of breast cancer. Exhibited on the Internet, these creations allow us to follow the multiple uses and meanings accumulated by the art objects between the initial motivations of their creators and the purpose behind their display on public and digital space. Contradicting the simplistic concept that defines art as a representation or reproduction of reality, I understand these objects and projects as a constitutive part of experience itself, immersed on the way these women live, understand and take action on cancer. It also redefines art as a form of knowledge and transformative practice, not only as a way to objectify and give personal meaning and form to inner experiences of disease, but also as an emancipative counter-hegemonic exercise of activism infused with global ambition.
The book also seeks to understand the continuities and antagonisms that exist between art, biomedical science and embodied knowledge, looking at their crossing points, hybrid configurations and conceptual conflicts while dealing with breast cancer. Between the unmaking and remaking of breasts, body and life, these female artists have shaped and activated hybrid and eclectic objects. While some projects can be interpreted as corrosive comments about the technological, pharmacological and relational insufficiencies of biomedical science, others are exercises of dialogue and interchange between the embodied, medical and artistic resources and understandings made possible by the experience and treatment of cancer.
Departing from an epistemological conception of art and a dialogical conception of social science, this investigation also carries the purpose of presenting itself as a product of conversation. Questioning and testing the possibility of a translation between embodied, artistic, anthropological and sociological understandings, it intends to redefine cancer as an external social construct against the notion of its spontaneous, corporal and internal reproduction.

According to the exacting code laid down by the original food mandarins at Michelin (and normally adhered to by this critic), a reviewer isn't supposed to pass judgment on a restaurant after just one visit. But then this addition to David Chang's white-hot East Village dining empire, Momofuku Ko, isn't a restaurant in the normal sense of the word. You could call it a semi-exclusive dining club, but that wouldn't be quite accurate either. The murmuring, deferential patrons who manage to find a spot at the modest, twelve-seat bar are chosen at random, by a computerized system that seems designed not to entice people to dine at Momofuku Ko but to drive them away. These seats can be booked only a week in advance, and only by logging on to the Momofuku Website. The computer begins taking reservations each morning at ten o'clock, and thanks to the legions of devoted and increasingly frantic Chang groupies (the 30-year-old chef was just nominated for his third James Beard award, and has been the subject of many glowing profiles in many glossy magazines), they're gone not in minutes but in seconds. Under these trying conditions, getting in the door once, let alone the three times most critics prefer, could take months or even years.
So how do you crack this fiendishly egalitarian, New Age reservation system? It helps to have the services of many diligent assistants willing to peck at their keyboards like gaming zombies for an entire week. Is it worth the aggravation? This depends, I suppose, on your point of view. One reason Chang is regarded as a revolutionary by a new generation of diners and cooks is his gleeful willingness to take the old-line, haute cuisine restaurant conceits and smash them to bits, while still cooking inventive, high-quality food. The name of this willfully anonymous anti-restaurant is barely visible on the door, and the façade is sheathed in what looks like high-tech chicken wire. Inside, there are no waiters, no decorations on the plain butcher-block walls, and no printed menu. Chang's inspiration is the classic Japanese bar-dining model practiced, most notably in New York, by Masa Takayama at his uptown restaurant, Masa. But the price of a single omakase meal at Masa is $400. At Momofuku Ko, my leisurely, inventive, often wickedly delicious ten-course dinner cost $125.
The first amuse item is Chang's calling card (and that beloved kitchen favorite), a crackly, feathery curl of pork rind. The second is a candy-size housemade English muffin slathered with more salty pork fat. The grateful food geek next to me pops it into his mouth. I'll eat that for breakfast any day, he says. Chang's somewhat outsize reputation has been based, until now, on his gift for taking these kinds of humble dishes (bowls of ramen at Momofuku Noodle Bar, or the famous pork butt at Momofuku Ssäm Bar) and imbuing them with the finest ingredients, and topflight technique. But Momofuku Ko (ko means son of in Japanese) is the chef's first attempt at ambitious, haute cuisine cooking, and as the big dishes appear, the meal picks up steam. A tangle of gummy fluke is overwhelmed by too much yuzu and hot Sriracha pepper. But after that comes a classic Changian creation, a bowl of technically perfect French consommé cut with a hint of kimchee purée (Korean consommé, the chef calls it) and garnished with a square of frizzled, gently melting pork belly and a briny oyster from Cape Cod. A soft-cooked egg is next, only this egg has been smoked and then cut open so that the smoky-sweet yolk runs into a pleasing mix of caviar (from Tennessee), tangy sweet-potato vinegar (from Japan), and a pile of crunchy, nickel-size potato chips.
Am I sounding like a worshipful food geek myself? Maybe it's the madcap, quixotic nature of Chang's new enterprise (most chefs in his position cash out in Vegas; they don't open high-minded twelve-seat restaurants). Or maybe it's the final savory course, a hunk of short rib braised for several days, the way Chang's Korean mother does, in soy sauce, sugar, and mirin, then deep-fried, like some dense, trencherman's version of that great regional specialty the fried Snickers bar. Or maybe it's the desserts, designed by an anonymous technician Chang refers to obliquely as our dessert fairy. One is a deep-fried apple pie (an homage to the McDonald's classic, served with a scoop of sour-cream ice cream), the other is something called Cereal Milk Panna Cotta. This ingenious dish is made with the milk from a bowl of corn flakes (which enriches the panna cotta) and plated with a purée of avocado (which cuts the sweetness). One of the cooks watched me as I took one curious bite, then another. I know, it's weird, he said. It actually works.
NoteReservations are gone by 10:05 a.m., but cancellations occur throughout the day. Hang over the computer, and you might get lucky.
Ideal MealThe fixed-price menu is constantly evolving. Our favorites so far: kimchee purée, foie gras, deep-fried short rib, cereal-milk panna cotta.

Obligations to those researched
The ASA's 'Ethical Guidelines for Good Research' state that researchers have paramount obligations
… to protect the physical, social and psychological well-being of those whom they study and to respect their rights, interests, sensitivities and privacy…
ASA, 'Ethical Guidelines for Good Research',
The primary dimensions of the researcher's obligations in relating to participants can be summarised as:
- Protecting research participants and honouring trust;
- Anticipating harms;
- Avoiding undue intrusion;
- Negotiating informed consent;
- Respecting rights to confidentiality and anonymity; and
- Giving fair return for assistance.
The first three points are discussed below; points 4 and 5 are discussed under: 'Informed Consent (and Anonymity and Confidentiality)' tab; whilst point 6 is discussed under the 'Context and laws' tab.
Researchers have a duty to ensure the safety of participants, especially when they take serious personal risks to assist them in completing their work. In particular, researchers should be aware of the ethical issues that can arise when working within a repressive political climate. They should endeavour to ensure that their research activities do not jeopardise the security of participants or others involved in facilitating the research, such as gatekeepers, go-betweens or translators. Specifically, they may need to take account of special issues relating to. When it is not possible to guarantee the interests and safety of participants it may be necessary to radically amend, or even abandon, research plans.
It is important that social scientists working in the field to make every effort to anticipate the long-term effects on individuals or groups which may result from the research as well as the more immediate effects. The participants' consent to involvement does not absolve researcher of this responsibility. In this regard, however, it has to be acknowledged that field research is inherently complex and difficult to predict: the practical engagement with participating individuals or communities can prove to be very different from what was anticipated at the planning stage; and situations can change quickly. For instance, on arrival in the field a researcher may suddenly find her/himself placed under pressure from someone on whom the research relies (e.g., a gatekeeper) to compromise the anonymity or confidentiality of research participants. It is advisable to try to anticipate any such eventualities, and where possible have a back-up plan that will allow for a revision or amendment to the research strategy to avoid such an eventuality.
Thought should also be given to the potential effects of publishing findings. In some cases providing information about social groups could be disadvantageous to them:
Social research entails the possibility of destroying the privacy and autonomy of the individual, of producing more ammunition to those already in power, of laying the groundwork for an invincibly oppressive state.
Barnes, John. 1979. Who should know what? Social science, privacy and ethics,
Harmondsworth: Penguin: 22
The ASA advises that:
In certain political contexts, some groups, for example, religious or ethnic minorities, may be particularly vulnerable and it may be necessary to withhold data from publication or even to refrain from studying them at all.
ASA, 'Ethical Guidelines for Good Research',
Whist it is not possible to imagine every possible eventuality, there is a necessity to consider how published data could be used in the future in ways that may be disadvantageous to the community that was studied. For instance, there is a well-established history of governments and military using anthropological data in warfare and control of populations (see 'Problematic Relationships with One's Own Government').
Care and respect should also be shown for the social and psychological wellbeing of participants. Aspects to consider include:
- Being careful not to intrude into personal, physical or mental space. Care should be taken in judging and not exceeding culturally appropriate boundaries.
- Respecting confidential information: It should be borne in mind that just because a participant confides information to the researcher, it does not mean that they would wish that information to be made public or discussed with others, even in an anonymised format.
- Maintaining sensitivity to indigenous social relationships and avoiding actions that could be socially disruptive. The researcher needs to be aware of roles and relationships in the local culture and should avoid acting inappropriately or putting participants in an invidious position with others in the community.
- Avoiding unnecessary exposure of participants to disturbing information or the causing of an unsolicited 'raising of consciousness'.
The following example illustrates some issues that can arise in regard to respecting the personal space of participants.
My second fieldwork visit to Tanzania was in 1976 with a BBC film crew to make a film. We had permission to do so from the Tanzanian government and from the local District Commissioner, but we did not really have the consent of the villagers, many of whom resented having cameras thrust in their faces without permission. Some agreed to give interviews for a consideration, but always on condition that they were filmed in secret. Although my official position was as a consultant, I was rarely consulted, and eventually a difficult situation came to a head with a threat of violence at a spirit possession ritual and my own threat to leave the village and the film project. Editing the footage was equally fraught, as the views of the producer and my own were often at variance. Yet in spite of all of this, every time I return to Mafia Island, I have to bring the BBC film and screen it. The first time I was very apprehensive – people had asked to see the film, but I knew that some would not be happy about having their interviews made public. Fortunately, the sound track could not be heard on the system used to screen it so everyone was satisfied. Furthermore, the coffee table book which was produced for the series of which the film was a part was circulated widely in the village, since here at last was a book with a chapter about themselves and lots of glossy photos which they could enjoy.
(contributed by Pat Caplan)
The above discussions have focused on the researcher's obligations to 'avoid harm' to the people researched. However, there are more positive aspects to this obligation. The ASA's ethical guidelines suggest that:
As far as is possible anthropologists should try and involve the people being studied in the planning and execution of research projects, and they should recognise that their obligations to the participants or the host community may not end (indeed should not end, many would argue) with the completion of their fieldwork or research project.
ASA, 'Ethical Guidelines for Good Research',
The argument that, in some cases, the researcher's ongoing obligations to the community researched should include a dimension of socio-political activism on behalf that community is explored under the 'Ethics, Politics and the Reflexive Researcher' tab.

LOL. Marcel hangs upside down all the time. Well, in his cage he doesn't hang off his perch, but he hangs upside down holding onto the bars of his cage over his water dish and does a "nose dive" into his water to bath himself. He does this almost everyday....so funny to watch.
Also, Marcel likes to hang upside down from my finger. He looks so cute and he enjoys it.
Try this with Rio.....Let her perch on your index finger then grasp her two feet snuggly with your thumb. Start to rotate her while perched this way and she should hang upside down.
Marcel gets a big kick out of this.

I did some research on business plans for entrepreneurs for this posting and a frequent theme that came up was comparing a business plan to a road map for your company. In this age of GPS devices (I have rarely been lost since I broke down and bought one) is the concept of a road map becoming obsolete? I don't think so since the few times I have had problems was when there were temporary detours or permanent road changes. I thought of this when I ran across How to Refine a Business Plan that makes the point that is is very important to revisit your "road map" for your business on a regular basis. Just as you need to occasionally download an upgrade to the the maps on your GPS to keep it accurate (I get tired of hearing recalculating after a point) , you need to look at these key areas to keep your business plan up to date:
- Marketing
- Competition
- Staffing
- Financials and Projections
- Reevaluation
The article concludes by making the point that you need to update your business plan on a regular basis to keep your business running as efficiently as possible. There is another link at the end of the article about the worst 5 business plan mistakes, after all just as you wouldn't want to drive your car over a cliff (or in this case into a lake) due to not doing an update, the same principle applies to your business.

Making strides to raise funds to fight breast cancer
The power of pink: Carla Quinlan, a breast cancer survivor from Orland Park, attended last year's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K walk at Centennial Park in Orland Park with her husband Tim and children TJ and Tori. | Supplied photo

What: American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K walk
Where: Centennial Park soccer field, 153rd St. Metra Station, Orland Park
When: 8 a.m., Oct. 14
Registration: To register or for more information, visit www.makingstridessouthsuburban.com or call
(708) 633-7770, option 3
Thousands of south suburban residents are needed to help change the course of breast cancer forever. The American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K fundraising walk on Oct. 14 in Orland Park will help the Society do the most for people with breast cancer today to end the disease tomorrow.
The walks, in more than 270 communities nationwide, help to raise $60 million dollars for the American Cancer Society each year to save lives from breast cancer. The dollars raised fund groundbreaking research to find, prevent, treat and cure breast cancer; ensure access to mammograms for women who need them; and provide free resources and support to the one in two newly diagnosed women who turn to the Society for help and support, including transportation and lodging during treatment.
"Making Strides Against Breast Cancer unites us to walk together as the most powerful force to end breast cancer," said Katherine L. Griem, M.D., president of the American Cancer Society's Illinois Division. "The progress we are making is remarkable, but we need volunteers to join us in the fight."
A team that CAREs
"The first year I participated in Making Strides I invited a friend and we decided that it was a lot easier to walk a 5K than fight cancer. Little did I know, I would find out that was true the following year when I was diagnosed with breast cancer," said Carol Peden of Oak Lawn. "I have a great team full of friends and family that never let me go to an appointment or test alone. We are "Team CARE" and we manage the children's tent on the day of the Walk."
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is the largest network of breast cancer awareness events in the nation. This event also supports the American Cancer Society's unique mission to fight breast cancer on all fronts and save lives by helping people stay well by reducing breast cancer risk or finding it early; helping people get well by providing information and support during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking breast cancer research and by fighting back by encouraging lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer; and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight.
Sponsors of the south suburban Making Strides event this year include: ABC7Chicago, Advocate Christ Medical Center, Cancer Treatment Centers of America, K-Love Radio and Marquette Bank.
For more information about breast cancer, contact the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.

Tribune-Herald sports editor
When you consider a lot of the NBA experts, including Magic Johnson and Jalen Rose, are picking the Memphis Grizzlies to win their Western Conference Finals over the San Antonio Spurs, it's kind of amazing how easily the Spurs rolled to a big victory in Game 1 on Sunday.
But from the tip-off, San Antonio point guard Tony Parker pushed the pace and the Spurs sank an eye-popping 14 3-pointers in a 105-83 win over the Grizzlies. In fact, Memphis star forward Zach Randolph went 1 for 8 from the field and finished with only two points — a performance that left him and many Grizzlies fans shaking their heads in total frustration.
The experienced Spurs did everything right on offense, moving the ball via the pass instead of overdribbling, and Parker and Co. registered 28 assists against one of the best defenses in the NBA.
Parker, the clever 6-foot playmaker from France, led the way with 20 points and nine assists — six to wide-open 3-point shooters. Overall, the Spurs had too much firepower from the perimeter, with small forward Kawhi Leonard (18 points) and reserve Matt Bonner each hitting four 3-pointers. Teammate Danny Green added 16 points, including three treys. The 14 treys tied a Spurs' team record.
Quincy Pondexter led Memphis with 17 points, Marc Gasol had 15 and Mike Conley 14 in his key matchup with Parker – one the veteran San Antonio star won going away.
But the Spurs' defense also shined, especially their helpside defense that continually frustrated Randolph and kept the dangerous Gasol in check. The Grizzlies' big men were pushed out of their comfort zones in the paint, double or triple teamed once they caught the ball, and contained on the offensive glass.
In Game 1, the Spurs were just the better team, better prepared by coach Greg Popovich — currently the best coach in the NBA — and attacked the Memphis weaknesses. Of course, if the Grizzlies don't make some major adjustments for Game 2, it could be another long day in San Antonio.
Parker set the table in Game 1 while his two other buddies in the "Big 3," Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili, had solid games. But it was the other guys, especially Leonard, Green and Bonner, that fueled a superb team effort.
Leonard, the 6-foot-6 small forward out of San Diego State University, is a budding star in Popovich's system. In Game 1, he made 7 of 10 field goals, including 4 of 5 treys, and as usual, played splendid defense on anyone he matched up with.
Leonard, who averaged 11.9 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game during the regular season, is the complete package. On offense, he's a deadly 3-point shooter who can also slash to the rim and finish in a variety of ways. He's also a good ballhandler and passer, in both the halfcourt sets or on the break.
But it's defense that elevates his value tenfold to the Spurs. Leonard is extremely quick, athletic and blessed with a 7-foot-3 wingspan, and he can guard any player of the court. He reminds some NBA analysts of a young Scottie Pippen, a 6-8 defensive terror during his playing days with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. That dynamic duo led the Bulls to six NBA titles and both were voted among the 50 Greatest Players to play in the NBA during its first 50 years.
Leonard grew up in Riverside, Calif., attended Martin Luther King High School and was Mr. Basketball California in 2009. He then spent two seasons at San Diego State University under highly regarded coach Steve Fisher. In his sophomore season, Leonard averaged 15.7 points and 10.4 rebounds per game while leading the Aztecs to a 34-3 record and a spot in the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16.
In 2011, Leonard was drafted in the first round by the Indiana Pacers, the 15th overall pick, and then traded to the Spurs. He played well in his first season in San Antonio, and made the all-rookie team.
But this has been a breakout season for Leonard, and his versatility and effectiveness at both ends of the court has been a blessing for the highly respected Spurs. He's also blended in well with the 6-6 Green, a former University of North Carolina standout, to add youth to the starting unit, while Popovich gets the most out of each position.
On Sunday, a Spurs' beat writer revealed Leonard has been bothered by "jumper's knee" or right knee/quad tendinitis the last three months and it occasionally flares up. Then the young small forward went out and took care of his business, helping San Antonio roll to a lopsided win.
The soft-spoken Leonard is a budding star. He lets his performance do his talking. But if he continues to expand his game in the Spurs' team-first system, he might fulfill that promise of being a Scottie Pippen-like player and enjoy a lot of success during a long NBA career.

It is really beneficial for many companies to outsource the software development. The advantage of this approach is that the company gets a perfectly complying with requirements software and there's no need to organize their own development project. The cost of the project might be small if ordered in some other country. Another advantage is that software development could require focused specialization experts; sometimes it's difficult to find a good one. Moreover, you'll need him once – for this project.
We offer software development in the following areas:
The rights to software outsourced belong to the customer. That is why we provide the source codes for all programs and the customer does not depend on us in future. For example, if there appears any need to update these programs in a few years, any other company or software programmers will manage to do it.

I'm Back!!
Proffesional teasers (-:
Wow! What a day!! What a great day!!
It was not without its drama though! (My veil was ruined at the hair salon!) Only have a minute but I wanted to post some of our sneak peaks! I cant wait to see them all!! I will post a recap of our day very soon (-: I LOVE being a Mrs!! |
Married Tomorrow!!
The day is almost here!!
This past week has been so busy that unfortunately I have neglected WBC :(
Between guests arriving and last minute details I have not had a chance to get near my computer. I am so excited and just a little nervous. I am more nervous that things won't go smoothly... But I am almost at the point that I don't have a choice! Lol A big thank you to all the WBC Brides that hav inspired me and given me so many ideas! I have met so many great people that helped me plan the perfect day! Good luck to all my fellow Sept. 4th Brides!! Not sure why it says I am getting married today on my profile.... Also, I have few projects that I have not had a chance to post so I will add them next week once the craziness dies down ;-) |
Ceremony venue frustrations!!
Not enough chairs???
So yesterday the rep from our venue called to let us know that they don't have enough chairs for everyone to sit at the ceremony.
Not enough chairs??? Did they not know this months ago? Our numbers have been set for quite a while. Why do they tell us 10 days before the wedding? I have been searching for chairs to rent. But being so close to the wedding date everything is booked! Not sure what I am supposed to do. Do I ask certain people ahead of time to stand? I am so frustrated! |
Wedding Decoration
Should I be being so picky?
Had a rough day yesterday!
The wedding is coming up so fast and there are so many details that still need to be taken care of. I have hired someone to do most of my decor for me. With 2 kids and practically all my guests coming from out of town I really wanted to cut down on my work load a little so I can enjoy the day more. But this has not cut down my stress! I have been trying to see a final mock up of my centerpieces for some time now. She didn't seem to eager to meet. So after sending her several emails she finally sent me pictures. But still says she may change a few things... so I guess it's not a final mock up? A few issues... The flowers look pink to me. Am I being a little too picky? My wedding colors are lavender and white. They dont even match the candles. Which I am not sure about either... would white be better? I am not sure about the mirror. My FH says nobody will probably even notice it and when the lights go down it will reflect the candle light. He is probably right. I like the glass garland but don't like the purple strand of beads that is woven through. Let me know what you think. Should I be asking her to find new flowers so close to the wedding? Am I expecting too much? I just figure that my wedding is only going to happen once and I want things to be perfect. I have been so stressed about this :-( |
DIY Wedding
Water bottles done! Thanks Nidhal and Jtherrie
Had the girls over last night for dinner and put them to work (-:
Completed 115 water bottles. Love them!! Wasn't so thrilled with Staples though. I used them to print the labels. It worked out to be cheaper because of the amount of coloured ink required. The labels were printed darker and smaller than the sample I gave them. I used them anyway because it is the same colour as my theme. Just a bit darker. Doubt anyone will notice except me (-; Thank you to Nidhal and jtherrie for passing along the template. It was so simple and turned out great! |
DIY Wedding
DIY Flower girl baskets
Flower girl baskets done!
Bought these baskets for .50 from Walmart after Easter. They had a green gingham lining which I took out. Just wrapped lavender ribbon around the handle and rim of the basket. I think they are sweet and am really happy with them. My only issue is... I can't tie a bow to save my life!! Is there a trick? It never looks right! 14 days!!!! |
Marriage License
Got it! One step closer!!
We picked up our marriage license on Monday!! So exciting! It is all coming together (-:
Funny story while we were there... We had tried to go on Friday to pick it up but their computer system was down. So we were chatting with the Lady who was taking all of our info so we would just have to come back and pick it up. Earlier in the day a Bride had come in to apply. In BC only one person has to be present. As long as you have all the needed information. When she found out the system was down she started freaking out that it was a sign! That she shouldn`t be getting married! Obviously there are deeper issues there and it just sent her over the edge. The Lady helping us also said that we would be totally suprised how many people come in looking for refunds on their marriage license. Obviously some are jumping in without thinking it all through. And there are no refunds ;-o 15 days!!! |
Got my hanger!!
Thanks babygirlnaenae!!
I got my personalized hanger in the mail today!!
Love it! Can't wait to use it! Thank you so much Renee! |
Wedding Favors
Favors done!
Finished filling my spice favor jars last night!
They look great! We went with lavender (my theme color plus I love it), peppercorns (my FH's pick) and Italian spice (I am Italian and do ALOT of cooking with it). We decided to go with spices because we love cooking and thought it was something that suited us (-: I am also going to print up some recipe ideas for our guests to use. Especially for the lavender since most have not cooked with it before. Next I have to figure out the tags... |
Found my shoes!!
Love them (-:
My family and I made a trip to Calgary recently for a bridal shower my soon to be sister in law threw me.
While we were there we did some shopping. By far my favorite find was my shoes! I LOVE them. A little bling and not too high of a heel (-: I can't wait to wear them in 16 days!! |

Justin Bieber, 19, looks adorable in the Adidas NEO label's Spring/Summer 2013 collection! Justin was elected as the NEO global style icon in October. Browse through our gallery of the campaign photos and tell us what you think.
Justin Bieber's Adidas Outfits:
Justin Bieber is the face of Adidas NEO Collection and we have never seen better pictures of him! The Adidas NEO collection has footwear, clothing, and accessories and only retails for $100! All of the pictures are of Justin acting sporty and athletic — and we love it! He is seen sitting on a bike in a full Adidas outfit, a blue 'Neo Stripe Shirt,' NEO jeans, a 'Neo V-Neck Photo T-Shirt' with a fun picture of skydivers floating above a city, and he topped it off with fun 'V Racer Nylon Leather (Nylon Suede/ Heel)' sneakers! Justin is also photographed playing ping pong in a neon green 'Neo Tank,' and a cool pair of dark green palm-tree patterned 'Neo Special Shorts.' Then we see Justin looking so handsome in just a basic v-neck Adidas tee looking at us with those big brown eyes; but our favorite pic definitely has to be the one of Justin in a breakdancing move in a pile of confetti – he looks so cute, we are swooning!
We can't help but realize that Selena Gomez is also a face for Adidas NEO — coincidence? All of the clothes Justin is wearing are very affordable and you can wear them all summer; not to mention, who doesn't want to look like the Biebs?

In a recent speech, the leader of Ukip claimed that the political class was made up of career politicians.
From Farage's point of view this is a smart move.
Ukip is establishing itself as the protest party.
The party is fighting three established parties for votes.
Farage isn't a mainstream politician.
Framing all three as being the same makes sense. Farage has had plenty of help in doing this, ironically from his opponents. The leadership of all three parties consists of people who did go to the same schools or universities. After the expenses scandal whether rightly or wrongly there is a perception that MPs from all three parties are on the make.
The challenge for the other parties is to find a way to frame Farage that helps their case and doesn't hinder it. To claim he is old-fashioned won't work. Some voters might even like it.
Ukip isn't about to 'break the mould of British politics' but it just might stir things up a bit in the next few years.

I've been dating my boyfriend for a little over a year and although it has been rocky from the get go, we have managed to stay together and work through our problems. I am a 22 year old with a high libido and i enjoy sex. My partner is 23 and although he says he enjoys sex, lately he has been masturbating a lot. I wouldn't normally have a problem with him doing that but it has gotten to the point that he masturbates, is really tired, and then doesn't want to please me at all. When we first started dating, every time we would start messing around he would tell me that he didn't want to have sex; he wanted to wait. I was ok with that. Then when we started to have sex his excuse to not have sex when i wanted to was he was tired, then later it was because he didn't want to have unprotected sex (birth control makes my hormones go crazy & he can't finish in a condom), and then it was because "i wanted it all the time & i took the fun out of it because i talked about it all the time". But now I'm starting to realize that he has been masturbating almost every day at least for the last 3 months as far as i can tell. He even watches porn on his phone!! When i tried telling him that his actions make me uncomfortable (I've caught him a few times) he says that he can do whatever he wants in his own house and that i want it all the time so he feels pressured...i've never told him he is bad because he is not! he's amazing in bed...i told him that he's great so why feel pressured and he said its because i want it everyday and so i argued that he masturbates everyday, why can't he wait for me to get home so we can have sex or at least masturbate each other to get the sexual release we both want. he said he enjoys masturbating and thats why he does it....I can't get through to him that masturbating is hurting my feelings & getting me sexually frustrated ( I don't like masturbating myself, i believe that if i have a boyfriend we should be having sex or at least masturbating each other)....what do i do??
Hmmmm. That's not good. Try this. Sorry about that.

Wesley Scott MaysNovember 1999 |
Well, my first article got out and many things have happened since then. I have been finally getting much more social, and with the mark of me turning 18 finally, I'm getting a lot more responsibilities that are helping me quite a bit. I'm getting a car (actually I've already got it, but I can't drive it 'till I've got the chance to go get my driver's test, sometime next month). I'm getting my own phone line, and now (as of when you're reading this) have my own AOL account, which accounts (no pun intended) for the different e-mail address at the bottom.
I've been able to get to a new part of this area that is very good for going to if you don't have any qualms about anyone else's lifestyle. It's the Tower District. I've been able to go there a lot more lately (thanks to being 18) and actually was able to meet a guy, and we've been going out for a week and a half (as of the 13th of Oct). He's really great and not much older than me. The best thing that's happened to me (actually to either of us) in a while. (of course, getting feedback on my previous article was really great too). Anyway, I know that this one's short, but I've stated several things already, covered enough topics and given all that I can on them for now. Peace be with you and blessed be...
Q's or Comments? ramblings, ideas, thoughts, scrutinies, deductions, epiphanies; or if you just want to welcome me in some formal or informal introduction that would make it clear that I've been well-received; E-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ryan Good — the man behind Justin's swagger — has parted ways with the star!
Justin Bieber's "swagger coach" Ryan Good has left Justin's tour! How sad for Justin!
"Ryan is going to pursue some of his dreams…we encourage him 2 go after his," Justin's manager Scooter Braun tweeted. "He will always b a part of this family. always."
It's obvious that Ryan was a great coach — Justin has incredible swagger and is great with the ladies. But what do you think Hollywoodlifers — will the Biebs be just as "Swaggerific" without him?

The possibility of it blowing up is non existent. LiPo batteries do not blow up.
If over charged, or shorted they can rupture and shoot flames. If punctured they can shoot flames. If undamaged and stored at about 50% charge in a cool place the possibility of any of this happening is very low. All that being said, try and store them away from any flammable materials. In the summer I store mine in a wood burning stove. I just received a flame proof LiPo storage bag but I still think that should be backed up with a metal box or a ceramic pot. Most LiPo fires happen when people are charging and leave the charger unattended. Never leave LiPo batteries on charge unattended. Charge away from flammable materials. |

I'm a little curious as to why my laptop and phone can easily charge a lithium battery without any real issues... but after reading all of this, it appears like there is a high likelihood that using these batteries from RC suppliers results in the possibility of endangering my family. Does that not seem "backwards" to anyone else? I mean, if you are buying a $25 battery and a $50 charger, you'd expect it to just charge without incinerating your home.
So whats a practical way to charge these things while containing the damage if they DO explode? Should you loop the cord into something metal like a toolbox or something? |
Aug 02, 2011, 09:08 AM | |
Though infrequent, they can catch fire, mostly during charging.
IMO, the safest way to charge is to be in the room with the packs and observe them. Lipo packs will swell quite a bit before igniting so there is a time frame of many minutes (5,10 +) where if the modeler notices the swelling, the charge can be stopped. Equally safe would be to charge outside in a firesafe area. Next would be indoors inside a metal box, BBQ grill, LipoSack or similar firesafe container. The worse scenario is charging on a flammable surface near flammable items indoors and leaving the area. This has resulted in major fire damage to the house. Other things to consider... Don't keep damaged lipos. When they start to puff or are physically damaged, they should be discharged and tossed. Even though a firesafe box can prevent fire damage the smoke can cause a lot of damage which is why the best method is to keep it from happening or do it outside. Remember, the likelihood of this happening is very small, especially if you keep your packs in good condition....use only 80% of capacity...follow the manufacturers use directions, etc. But like me, you are concerned that it could happen as there are no guarantees with lipos, so take the precautions and enjoy. If possible, baby sit the packs while charging, safest way IMO....if you see anything unusual, stop the charge and check it out. I store, charge and transport my lipos in firesafe containers just in case. Go up to post #2 and look at "Videos of LiPo Container Tests." It'll give you an idea of what other people have done and what happens during overcharging. Again, remember that if you use packs in good condition and charge with a balancing charger witnin the C-rate specified by the manufacturer, the chances of an ignition are very low..........but just in case, watch them or box them. I've got 8 yrs experience with them without an incident as have many many other modelers, but still I don't trust them enough to leave them out of the firesafe boxes, just in case. Any other questions? |

The most important thing you can do is never charge unattended. Use a quality balance charger designed for LiPo batteries. Check out CellPro. Charge away from flammable materials. Many use fire proof charging bags for charging and storage. LiPo Safe is one brand. Arrange a safe storage location or vessel. A covered ceramic pot makes for worry free storage. There are many possibilities. Here is one. Battery Bunker |

ACLU Files Suit Against Miami Beach for Wrongfully Harassing Gay Men
Categories: Rainbow Connection
Police Chief Carlos Noriega |
Stickland witnessed two officers, Frankly Forte and Elliot Hazzi, beating and kicking a downed gay man in handcuffs. Strickland called to report the attack to 911 but Forte and Hazzi then arrested Strickland while allegedly verbally abusing him.
"Gay men have been reportedly targeted by Miami Beach police near Flamingo Park for decades. Often, police target gay men walking near Flamingo Park for nothing more than looking 'too gay'," said Robert Rosenwald, Director of the ACLU of Florida's LGBT Advocacy Project in a statement. "When police officers become the problem rather than the solution, the City needs to take action. Strickland fulfilled his civic duty by reporting what he recognized as police misconduct, but as a result he became the subject of verbal abuse and wrongful arrest."
Flamingo Park has a history of being a "cruising spot" for men looking to get off with other men, though that reputation has faded away in recent years.
The ACLU had originally notified Miami Beach it planned to suit back in February and police chief Carlos Noriega agreed to meet with the city's GLBT leaders.
"With the exception of the case that re-emerged last week, I have not had an incident like this cross my desk in three years," he said at the time. "I didn't see this coming or realize this was a problem [with the gay community]."
Members of the GLBT community say that problem is wider spread than Noriega seems to be aware of.
The ACLU claims that Noriega had made some reforms, but not nearly enough.
More than six months ago the ACLU gave notice of its intent to sue (as required by state law), and provided the City with detailed information evidencing gross misconduct by the police department and the officers in this case. At that time, the ACLU demanded that the Miami Beach Police Department institute immediate remedial action to halt the harassment, intimidation, and arrest of gay men near Flamingo Park and individuals who observe, document or report police misconduct. The ACLU also called on the City to discipline officers Hazzi and Forte for their misconduct.The group claims that Hazzi and Forte have not been reprimanded as of yet, and not, as previously reported, put on desk leave. The group is also concerned with the fact Strickland was arrested in retaliation for reporting police misconduct.
"All people have a clear constitutional right and a civic duty to report police misconduct. When police start arresting people for reporting police misconduct, the public's faith in law enforcement suffers," said Ray Taseff, ACLU cooperating attorney in a statement.
