JesJune 1998 |
I haven't written a blessed word in two months. Honestly. Writers are supposed to curl up and die or revert to some kind of gelatinous state when they go that long without composing a single sentence. Five years ago, when I first started writing with an aim for publication, I was thrilled and startled at the mental act of creation itself. I felt powerful beyond belief ... a boy with very little in his life that he could control, save for this ability to construct miniature worlds and lives that continued to exist in the filing cabinet of my subconscious long after I'd forgotten about them. I wrote what seemed to be incalculable pages, chiseling away at the uncooperative basalt of my world to excavate those rare, shining filaments of wonder. I transplanted people that I'd loved and hated into fantastic situations, giving them different names and pliable faces, conquering their personal demons ... and my own ... in a set number of keystrokes.
But the process itself began to change when I finally admitted my sexuality in a manner that would have made Prospero smile ... "This thing of darkness I acknowledge mine." Writing itself became harder by degrees, worsening with each mental revelation when it should have gained some kind of convenient transcendence, or so I thought. The more honest found myself acting toward people, the more difficult it grew to compose even a few lines of poetry, a rhyming couplet, a half-baked sonnet. The mythic worlds that I'd built over the years were like a delicate mobile, spinning wildly out of control in the tempest that I'd released from Pandora's Closet. I'd been deceiving myself for so damn long that the lie had become a necessary truth. The sun will rise tomorrow, the earth is round, and Jesse is healthy, heterosexual male. That was the sick mantra that I repeated every day to myself. Standing numb in the shower, I would watch the soapy water curl like a gossamer serpent into the drain, and imagine that my unwanted feelings disappeared along with it.
Coming out was not an epiphany, but more of a tired, grudging admittance of this huge, undeniable truth of Grand Canyon-like proportions that I'd been pretending not to see for too many years. It was the silent confirmation of forbidden dreams, buried yearnings, and literary innuendo that, as I examined it, practically screamed my true identity across the cosmos. I remember being struck by an odd notion: I felt like I was sick. I felt as if I were living with a chronic illness that wasted my soul away, taking me a piece at a time and replacing what it stole with fear, rage, depression, desolation. I felt like my identity was being awfully, efficiently usurped. And there was nothing in Heaven or Hell that I could do about it, save for closing my eyes and falling into an even deeper level of cold denial.
Meeting Aaron was like the ringing of a single, clear note in a world where music hadn't been invented yet ... where the very idea of it was outlawed. I'd labored beneath the amber shell of my new and improved identity for a year, and I wasn't getting any better, simply more honest. Oh, being honest could be fun. I could comfort my friends one moment and terrify them the next. This one, brutal blow for truth seemed to dislodge all sorts of other opinions that followed in its wake. I found myself quite unwillingly telling people what I really thought on certain matters, revealing ideologies and standpoints that I thought I'd laid down to sleep ages ago. The more I spoke my mind, the less I felt like a real entity. I was tearing up the many stacks of paper that I'd substituted for my soul, and it was an ugly, painful business. Most of the time I didn't know what body I'd inhabit from one day to the next, and my family took turns spinning the grand wheel of personalities. Who was I becoming? Would I like him? Would he swoop in like a slightly-late Perseus and vanquish all of my lingering doubts and fears and idiocies? At that point I would have given anything for a complete personality overhaul. I wanted new eyes to see with and a new outlook on just about everything, as if these were totally extrinsic qualities that I could pick up at the local department store, tax included.
When Aaron walked into the scene like a rather insistent spear-bearer, unsatisfied with his position in the wings, I found myself blinking to clear the sleep from my eyes. I felt like one of the repentant philosophers that Hume had awoken from "dogmatic slumber", slapping my forehead in disbelief at this absolutely magnificent person who'd existed, up until this point, just fine without me. Everything about Aaron was so warmly licit and inviting and unexpected that, most of the time, I couldn't quite understand why he remained with me and not someone infinitely more ... something. Of course, that was just my cute little negativity complex talking. When I looked at him, all of these little facets of genuine humanity struck me, always one at a time, slow enough to absorb and appreciate without losing myself in who he was or who he might become.
We're so different, he and I, when it comes to expression. I've always been the itinerant storyteller, prone to embellishment and a little deception here and there. I would broadcast my thoughts expansively to others so that they felt they knew me, but all that they really knew were my daily ramblings, which possessed all the stability of a muddy plateau in a rainstorm. Every morning I donned a new set of beliefs, and every night I retired them ... some fibers clung, some vanished. Nobody could predict with any amount of accuracy what I would think, or how I would act, from day to day. That had always been my calling card: the oscillating emotions of Jesse.
Aaron was a chiseled stone. He knew what he knew, and no amount of sunsets could change that. Water could carve solid rock before Aaron relinquished an opinion or cycled an idea. He was who he was ... and there was such a totally inherent surety in that position that it made me more than a little frightened. Here I was, mutable as the wind, confronting this mountain of safe practicality that offered both shelter and sameness. The true name to all of my syllables that laughed and whispered every which way. I was unprepared for someone so mentally decisive. But then again, I doubt he could have ever prepared himself for a quicksilver bolt of light like me. Yes ... I doubt that.
We've reached a kind of comfortable altitude in our relationship. I've come to know a great deal of his personal quirks, and vice versa. We aren't uncomfortable when one of us is silent ... although he'll almost always ask me what I'm thinking, which is funny, since I never thought anyone would care. Oddly enough, we don't find ourselves tackling the "big issues": religion, politics, morality, etc. We rarely talk about those kind of things in depth since we have ... well, not opposing views, but simply different views.
One thing I've begun to learn ... and I think this is a powerful lesson that everyone needs to understand on one level or another ... is that I don't need a conversational companion who can talk about all of the things that I love incessantly. If I wanted to hear my own thoughts and ideas regurgitated back to me, I could always record myself. I've lived with myself for nineteen years now, and the last thing I need is someone exactly like me. Aaron is as different from me as anyone I've ever met, and surprisingly enough, that's one of the qualities that really endears him to me. I never know what to expect. I can never predict what he's going to say or how he's going to act because I can only measure his behavior against my own, and since he's nothing like me, I'm left with a blank slate.
Sometimes our personalities clash, but that's a universal tenet. No two people in this world are "perfect" for one another, even though pop psychology and journalistic bullshit would like us to believe so. There are degrees of compatibility, true ... but when it comes down to the essence of a relationship, what you really need are equal parts of love and perseverance. I've learned that you have to wake up each day and find something to be thankful for, no matter how minuscule. If you can managed to summon up that beleaguered sense of gratitude day after day, then after a while it becomes easier and easier to be grateful instead of bitter. Eventually, it becomes second nature, and you find yourself not simply appreciating this life partner of yours, but appreciating the entire world for all of its little eccentricities and unexpected kindnesses that have sculpted your heart and soul from the clay of purpose.

I rate this book a "fair +"; not quite good. Interesting concepts and overall narrative. Heart rending journey of a young boy dealing with 9/11 in some ways all alone, with only his boyish perspective to help him sort things out. Positives: understanding perspectives, thought processes of the young protagonist. Comparison with our bombing of Dresden during WWII, with some excellent historical tidbits. Negatives: writing convoluted, and not too confusing to follow but also not fun to have to try to follow. Kind of gross descriptions of sexual encounters: too explicit (for no good reason that I could appreciate), and inappropriate since a grandmother was allegedly describing these to her grandson. Some interesting characters, but the story developed them in disjointed segments. Again, just not fun to follow. I wouldn't recommend it only because there are too many books to read. Why waste your time on a so-so one unless you want to read everything written on the ramifications of 9/11.

I did not like this book at all. It was extremely gimmicky & incredibly disjointed. There was nothing I liked about it nor did my book club & I cannot imagine how they can make a movie about it unless they completely rewrite it.
Jan 11, 2008
I honestly believe Foer to be one of the English language's next great writers. Everything is Illuminated proved that, and Extremely Loud does its part to affirm his great talent.The story is about a young boy who's father was killed in the 9/11 attack, and his journey throughout New York City to reconnect with what he has lost. This masterful story brilliantly highlights the human condition and brings a consciousness to all Americans who feel a part of their innocence was lost on 9/11.
May 10, 2007
The book is a story about Oskar Schell, a 9-year old whose father was killed on 9/11. Schell is a precocious, intelligent child and also one who has been crushed by his loss. He refers to his sadness as ?heavy boots,? and he wears them often. The story is also framed by Oskar?s grandparents ? his grandfather, who left the family long before Oskar was born, lived through the horror of the Dresden bombing and has lost the power to speak. He is so terrified of emotional pain that he?s withdrawn, staying mute and needing to create ?Nothing? spaces to exist in. His torment is brutal, and because he doesn?t speak (his hands are tattooed with ?Yes? and ?No? to make communication easier), he writes letters to his son from afar.The book incorporates pictures that Oskar takes with his grandfather?s camera (passed onto him), many of which he snaps while investigating what he hopes is a clue to get him closer to his father, even in death. He discovers a key in a vase his father bought, and is determined to find the lock which it opens. Watching Oskar go through this exercise, and learn how to cope with his loss, and the horror of that day, is a hard thing to do. This is literally one of the sadder books I?ve ever read, but because it?s so emotionally connective, I enjoyed it immensely. Foer is a sickeningly talented writer (married to Nicole Krauss, another talent) and often he seems to be grinning while he writes, but he continues to be able to portray pain and sadness alongside humor in a distinct voice. This is a fantastic book.
Apr 3, 2007
Jonathan Safran Foer's novel about a young boy named Oscar dealing with a loss in the wake of 9/11 explores much more than this present day event. The novel's twists and turns through Oscar's adventures around NYC and deep histories spanning generations make this book one that you can't put down. It is creative and inventive and is unlike anything else I have ever read. Read the first page and I promise you won't put it down!

Bitly Social Data APIs
Posted: January 8, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog | Tags: api, bitly, data, dataset | 1 Comment »We just released a bunch of social data analysis APIs over at bitly. I'm really excited about this, as it's offering developers the power to use social data in a way that hasn't been available before. There are three types of endpoints and each one is awesome for a different reason.
First, we share the analysis that we do at the link level. Every developer using data from the web has the same set of problems — what are the topics of those URLs? What are their keywords? Why should you rebuild this infrastructure when we've done it already? We've also added in a few bits of bitly magic — for example, you can use the /v3/link/location endpoint to see where in the world people are consuming that information from.
Second, we've opened up access to a realtime search engine. That's an actual search engine that returns results ranked by current attention and popularity. Links are only retained for 24 hours, so you know that anything you see is actively receiving attention. If you think of bitly as a stream of stories that people are paying attention to, this search API offers you the ability to filter the stream by criteria like domain, topic, or location ("food" links from Brooklyn is one of my favorites) and pull out the content, in realtime, that meets your criteria. You can test it out with a human-friendly interface at rt.ly.
Finally, we asked the question — what is the world paying attention to right now? We have a system that tracks the rate of clicks – a proxy for attention – on phrases contained within the URLs being clicked through bitly. Then we can look and see which phrases are currently receiving a disproportionate amount of attention. We call these "bursting phrases", and you can access them with the /v3/realtime/bursting_phrases endpoint. It's analogous to Twitter's trending topics, but based on attention (what people do), not shares (what they say), and across the entire social web.
I'm extremely excited to see what people build with these tools.

The unsung hero of high-performance thermoplastics REPRINTED FROM THE IAPD MAGAZINE
Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is truly the unsung hero of high-performance thermoplastics. PPS has been specified in thousands of highly engineered applications in every market from aerospace and automotive to medical, electronics and construction for over 20 years. Whenever extreme conditions and environments called for higher heat capacities with low smoke generation, exceptional chemical resistance, or exacting dimensional stability and strength, PPS has been quietly called upon to meet the most demanding requirements. In the new millennium, PPS is offered in more formulations, through more manufacturing processes, and in more end products than ever before. The complete list of available formulations is growing so rapidly that it is difficult to track it all. Neat grades that exhibit high purity levels are complemented by glass-filled variations and impact modifiers for enhanced mechanical properties. Advances in process technology have kept pace and even expanded the market potential of PPS greatly just within the last few months. Injection molding Applications include aerospace and automotive products where strength-to-weight ratios combine favorably with the material's inherent flame resistance and chemical resistance. Electronics manufacturers select PPS for insulation and connector applications when high continuous operating temperatures are a consideration. Medical products that require low moisture vapor transmission and repeated autoclave cycles are prime candidates for PPS materials. Extruded stock shapes PPS is available in thick-walled tubing having diameters to 14" that can be machined into shorter sections or rings. Extruded rods come in standard and custom lengths with diameters that range from 0.250" to 2.5". Plates range in thickness from 0.250" to 2.75" and are available in stock and custom lengths and widths. End markets for extruded stock shapes closely mirror those of other processes as defined by the economics of fabricated production. Applications in the semiconductor industry for wafer and disk production and/or polishing had been prominent before the downturn in that industry. Compression molding Stock shapes of compression-molded PPS include heavy plate sections up to 3.5" thick in custom widths and lengths. Short section rods are molded up to 4" in diameter and tubing is available up to 58" diameter and up to 6" thick. Disks for fabrication are available with diameters to 26" and thicknesses from 0.5" to 3.5". View the complete article online. This article was written by Michael J. Gehrig, ENSINGER. |

A practical guide to high-temperature plastic shapes REPRINTED FROM THE IAPD MAGAZINE
As the requirements for plastic materials to perform in demanding services continue to increase, so too must the availability of stock shapes produced from these materials. Having these materials available for injection molding is not good enough. Either the volume is too low to justify the capital expenditure for a mold or the size is such that injection molding is not a viable option. What materials are we discussing? For the purposes of this article, they must meet the three following criteria:

Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) in review REPRINTED FROM THE IAPD MAGAZINE
Manufacturers often rely on polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) to meet demanding conditions. Not only is this high-performance thermoplastic extremely strong, rigid and tough (see Properties Table I below), but also it retains these attributes at temperatures well above 200°C (392°F). PPS is inherently flame retardant, absorbs little moisture, and has exceptional chemical resistance, dimensional stability and creep resistance. In addition, its low ionic content makes it an excellent electrical insulator. This polymer is commonly used in extruded and injection molded components. It is available in partially branched and linear forms. The branched version is more rigid, while the linear form has greater tensile, flexural and notched impact strength. Linear PPS also has fewer ionic impurities, better melt stability, a wider viscosity range and shorter cycle times, and provides for easier and more consistent extrusion and molding. Meeting thermal and chemical
stresses PPS is inherently flame retardant without additives and is rated UL 94 V-0/5V. Neat PPS has an oxygen index of 44 (the lowest oxygen concentration at which it burns on its own), while its compounds have indices up to 53. Its hardness, abrasion resistance, weld line integrity and other properties are better than most high-temperature thermoplastics. Compared to higher-temperature polyesters, for instance, PPS offers greater dimensional stability and thermal, chemical and creep resistance. Also, since it absorbs little water, it swells less in moist environments than nylons, polyetherimides and polyesters. View the complete article online. This article was written by Ed Hallahan, Ticona. |
Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is a semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic suitable for applications requiring thermal stability to 425°F (218°C), structural integrity to 225°F (107°C), high dimensional stability and exceptional resistance to a broad range of chemicals. PPS is synthesized in a polar solvent from 1,4-dichlorobenzene and sodium sulfide. Two distinct forms of PPS exist. One has a partially branched molecular structure, while the other is more nearly linear. Linear PPS usually offers better mechanical strength and higher melt stability. Unfilled linear material is off white in color; branched is gray. PPS can be highly loaded with fillers. Many grades are available, including:
Polyphenylene sulfide is melt processable and can be injection molded, blow molded, extruded and compression molded. Machinable shapes are available. Adhesives are available for bonding PPS to itself or other materials. PPS to PPS bonds can also be achieved through thermal and ultrasonic welding. The chemical resistance of PPS makes solvent bonding impractical. Tensile strength ranges from 10,000 to 13,500 psi (68.90 to 93.0 MPa) in the unfilled material to 29,000 psi (200 MPa) for injection molded 40 percent glass filled PPS. Moduli are typically 500,00 psi (3,450 MPa) unfilled to 1,300,000 psi (8,960 MPa) compression molded 40 percent glass filled, though values as high as 19,300 MPa have been reported for glass/mineral filled resins. Elongation in filled grades can be quite low. Room temperature strength and stiffness are well retained to approximately 200°F (93°C), just above the 194°F (90°C) glass transition temperature of the amorphous phase. Heat deflection temperature at 264 psi (1.80 MPa) for unfilled PPS is 250°F (121°C) and is as high as 510°F (266°C) in glass filled grades, but long-term exposure to temperatures in excess of 425°F (121°C) is not recommended. Melting occurs at 540°F (282°C). PPS has good creep resistance at elevated temperatures. Apparent modulus after 100,000 hours at 122°F (50°C) under a 5,000 psi (35 MPa) load is 340,000 psi (2,345 MPa). Thermal dimensional stability is also good. Coefficient of linear thermal expansion is 2.8 x 10-5 in/in-°F (0.5 × 10-4/°C) in unfilled PPS, and can be as low as 0.8 x 10-5 in/in-°F (0.14 × 10-4/°C) in highly filled grades. As is typical for semi-crystalline materials, thermal expansion increases dramatically above the glass transition temperature (Tg) and can be as much as five times higher than the values given above at temperatures over 194°F (90°C). Moisture absorption in PPS is negligible (0.03 percent at saturation). Dimensional stability up to Tg is very good. High modulus, low creep and low elongation allow PPS to be machined to very tight tolerances. Unfilled PPS is not usually considered for bearing or other wear applications, but it has shown superior wear resistance in such applications involving aggressive chemical environments. Bearing grades are available that offer low friction, high limiting PVs (pressure and velocity) and wear resistance. The property table for PPS is online at www.iapd.org/new/bookstore/free_resources.html. For more information on PPS and other plastic materials, IAPD's Introduction to Plastics is an invaluable training manual. Details about it and other IAPD educational resources are available online at www.iapd.org. |

In 2010, the adrenaline addict's ultimate prize will be Kyrgyzstan, the thrill-a-minute nation known as the Switzerland of Central Asia. If it's short on vowels (pronounce it "KERG-i-stan"), it's long on adventures: heli-skiing the virgin snowy peaks of the Tian Shan mountains (pictured), riding rugged Kyrgyz horses along the ravines and lakes of the ancient Silk Route, bunking down in a traditional yurt after a hearty meal (and a glass of the fierce local vodka) around a horse-dung fire pit. The truly intrepid can watch—or even join—a game of ulak, Kyrgyzstan's most popular sport, a less genteel version of polo in which the head of a goat is used in lieu of a ball. After all those daring exploits, soak your muscles in the pool at the Hyatt Regency in Bishkek, the capital, while overlooking the very mountains you just conquered. Book your trip through U.K.-based outfitters Black Tomato, which can navigate Kyrgyzstan's considerable logistical challenges and take you off the beaten track to some of its most spectacular scenery.

We train schools how to implement the No Bully System through a one year partnership. The No Bully School Partnership is an integrated series of leadership coaching sessions, staff trainings and a parent workshop in how to implement the No Bully System® and prevent the harm caused by student bullying. It brings schools in to alignment with state and federal anti-bullying mandates and supports Common Core Standards by promoting a bully-free school culture based on cooperation and respect.
Leadership Coaching
Three one-on-one coaching sessions
The school leadership team is coached though the school year how to unite their school behind a new social vision, integrate the No Bully System in to a written anti-bullying policy and the action steps they need to take to support a bully-free culture long-term.
No Bully Foundational Training
3 hours, all adults who work on campus
This initial workshop gives all the adults who work in the school and after-school program a common language around student bullying and harassment, and trains participants in first and second level prevention and intervention skills, enabling a unified approach.
Bully-Proof Your Kid! The No Bully Parent and Guardian Workshop
90 minutes
Parents learn what bullying looks like for the current generation of students and what they can do to prevent their child from becoming either a target or a bully.
Solution Coach® Training
One-day, select teachers and staff
Participants learn how to become their school's Solution Coaches®, able to facilitate Solution Teams® to put a stop to bullying situations, remedy any hostile environment and facilitate change in students who are struck in the role of bully or target.
Advanced Solution Coach® Training
Half-day, select teachers and staff
This three hour training brings together the school's Solution Coaches to deepen their skills in running Solution Teams, and to learn how to address the marginalization of diverse students that so often underlies more complex incidents of bullying.
Second Year School Partnership
Many schools extend their No Bully partnership to a second year to reinforce the long-term sustainability of the No Bully System through one or more of these programs.
How to Successfully Implement a Social and Emotional Learning Program at your Campus
One year
A well-matched social and emotional learning program is perhaps the most powerful antidote to bullying. It is also the missing key to a productive learning environment: an average student enrolled in a social and emotional learning program ranks 11 percentage points higher on achievement tests than students who do not participate. But what program best meets the needs of your students and the values for which your school stands? In this second year No Bully partnership, we coach the leadership team how to successfully identify and teach the social and emotional learning curriculum which will best help their students develop essential values and life skills. In parallel with this we train faculty how to become social and emotional coaches to their students and provide a workshop for parents & guardians that translates these skills in to the home.
No Bully Conflict Resolution Training
3 hours, all staff
Participants learn how to discriminate between student conflict and bullying and develop the skills to lead students through TALK, a ten-minute protocol that any educator can use to resolve a student peer conflict.
Solution Coach® Trainers
3 days, select staff
No Bully teaches and certifies select members of school and district staff as on-site trainers, able to train and sustain a core group of Solution Coaches® as school personnel come and go.
Partnership Fees
Increasingly schools worldwide are recognizing the need for an effective anti-bullying system to prevent the harm caused to student lives. Typically schools recover their investment in a No Bully partnership within a year through the retention of students that would otherwise have been lost because of bullying. For information on partnership fees, download the Partnership Fees Sheet at the bottom of this page.

Attention Clergy: Tell Pres. Obama to Stop Separating Children from Their Parents
The UUA's Standing on the Side of Love campaign, along with congregations and individuals around the country, are challenging President Obama's Immigrations & Customs Enforcement (ICE) ACCESS programs in our communities. While President Obama was expressing his support for undocumented immigrants in his State of the Union address, communities in Washington and Michigan were coping with the aftermath of large ICE raids that separated children from their parents.
We cannot stand by while people are carted off.
The UUA is taking the lead on circulating a faith letter urging Obama to halt enforcement-only ICE ACCESS programs immediately. These programs are inhumane. They solve no problems.
Major denominational sign-ons to our letter include the Episcopal Church, United Church of Christ, United Methodist Church, National Coalition of American Nuns, Friends Committee on National Legislation, and Gamaliel National Clergy Caucus, as well as organizations like Interfaith Worker Justice.
Now, we are asking all clergy to answer the call of justice and sign this letter. Organizational leaders are welcome to sign as well.
Click here to add your name.
The Yakima-Herald reports that some families are in hiding. Some bystanders told the Herald there were children had been left without supervision.
ICE ACCESS is simply wrong, and our group will be delivering this crucial letter from faith leaders across the country to Pres. Obama in just a couple of weeks. We need to remind the President that children cannot thrive without their parents and communities cannot feel safe while they are being torn apart. Urge Obama to halt enforcement-only ICE ACCESS programs immediately and work for real immigration reform that upholds human dignity and worth.
Please add your name and religious title, and stand on the side of love with immigrant communities!
When you are done, don't forget to share the link with your interfaith allies.
3 Responses to "Attention Clergy: Tell Pres. Obama to Stop Separating Children from Their Parents"
I agree that these programs are problematic and need to be reformed so that families are not seperated.
However, it's concerning that we keep responding to these issues that we're against without putting forward what we immigration reforms we want to put in place. Are you advocating, on behalf of UU's, that the US simply eliminate the borders and be unconcerned with who comes into the country? Do we issue an unlimited number of visas to all applicants every year?
What changes do we really want to see beyond this single issue?
Metro Detroit -
I support your effort to keep children from being separated from their parents.
Hi Alex, good question.
There are a number of reasons why people immigrate without documentation, but the two main ones are to find work to support their families and to reunite with family members. One ironic result of militarizing our border is that it actually increased the number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. as people who used to travel back and forth between the U.S. and Mexico instead now stay in the U.S.and have brought their families over. It's one of the many ways in which our current immigration policies actually encourage undocumented immigration.
So a couple of the priorities are to:
1) increase the number of work visas issued each year. Right now the number issued is far less than the number of jobs available, which encourages undocumented immigration. This would allow people to come to the U.S. to work without having to move here permanently.
2) streamline the immigration process to eliminate the visa backlog. Depending on the country, we are still processing applications for visas that are more than a decade old! And specifically, we'd like for our immigration policies to prioritize the reunification of families.There is more information on this on the UUA website:
http://www.uua.org/socialjustice/issues/immigration/index.shtmlHope this helps.

Coors brings back the mystique
With Herman Joseph's Private Reserve, brewer introduces high-end German-style lager
Jay DedrickGive the folks at Coors in Golden some credit for understanding the importance of one crucial ingredient in beer.
I don't mean water; I mean mystique.
In the '60s and '70s, Coors Banquet Beer grew into an icon partly because it wasn't widely distributed. Out-of-state friends and relatives would beg Coloradans to squirrel away a case or two that could be loaded onto a station wagon at the end of the next family vacation. Burt Reynolds and Jerry Reed trucked it across country while smashing a few dozen cars along the way in "Smokey and the Bandit." Coors gained a lot, obviously, by eventually growing its brands nationally. But one thing lost in the process was mystique. That's back in a new form with an old name: Herman Joseph's.
The brewery sold different beers under the brand in the '80s and '90s. This latest incarnation is based on a recipe from the '60s – the 1860s, that is. The super-premium, German-style lager currently is available only in 12-ounce bottles sold at a few dozen Colorado restaurants. You won't see TV ads or hear radio jingles for it, at least not anytime soon. The makers are relying on word of mouth – mystique.
Coors goes craft
Glenn Knippenberg – Knip to anyone who's met him – is the Coors vet who serves as president of AC Golden Brewing Co., which is separate from MillerCoors while still operating out of the Golden brewery. That remains the largest single brew house in the world, but Knippenberg and his brewing team occupy a very small corner of this kingdom. While mass-market beers are brewed in several 500-barrel kettles, Herman Joseph's Private Reserve is crafted a few feet away in 30-barrel kettles, and then ferments in space shared by the big brewery's research-and-development team.
So this is a craft brewery project inside a giant brewery – except it's a craft brew that has to share equipment with other projects, meaning Knippenberg can't brew quite as much as he'd like. "We have more demand than supply right now, and that's something you have to be happy with in this economy," he said, adding that he hopes to ramp up production in the fall. If it sold in liquor stores, it would go for about $10 a six-pack, Knippenberg said; that's comparable to some craft beers and imports. The more affluent drinker who chooses those products is the target market of AC Golden.
Herman Joseph's may not be for the budget-minded, but there are good reasons for the higher cost, Knippenberg said. The small batches begin with four types of malt and four types of hops. No rice, corn or oats are used to augment the malt, a brewers' cost-cutting tactic that grew in popularity after the end of Prohibition. The brew spends more time boiling and fermenting than more common lagers and ales, too, meaning it's tying up production of other products.
Knippenberg, his brewers and anyone else who has a free hand are enlisted to hand-package the beer, too, about once a month. The bottle has a decidedly rich look, with metallic gold accents, embossed name -- even the latitude and longitude coordinates of the brewery are noted on the bottom of each container. The presentation continues on the case box, sealed with an ornate label that must be sliced open by the vendor. Private reserve, indeed.
And how's the stuff inside? I found it to be terrifically balanced, with hoppy bitterness at the start, and a smooth, malty finish. The deep gold color is one of the prettiest you'll see in a lager, and the body has a heft you wouldn't expect in a beer that's 5 percent alcohol by volume. Definitely worth seeking out – and the easiest way to do that is to check out the restaurant locator on the Herman Joseph's Web site, www.hermanjosephs.com.
Knippenberg says three other small-batch beers are in development at AC Golden … but that's all he can say for now. Mystique, you know.

When is a tuna sandwich and a beer not just a tuna sandwich and a beer? When it's on the menu at Boulder's Flagstaff House. Because that's where the sandwich boasts ahi tuna carpaccio, terrine of foie gras and extra virgin olive oil -- paired with Avery's White Rascal Belgian Style White Ale. Wow.
That's just the first course at Flagstaff's April 15 beer pairing dinner. For $68 you'll enjoy five courses from executive chef Mark Monette; Adam Avery, president of the Boulder brewery, pairs each dish with one of his standout beers.

Most comprehensive collection of art in the U.S. and one of the foremost in the world. It was incorporated in New York City in 1870, and the present building in Central Park on Fifth Avenue was opened in 1880. The Metropolitan was built with the private fortunes of businessmen; today it is owned by the city but supported mainly by private endowment. Its outstanding Egyptian, Mesopotamian, East Asian, Middle Eastern, Greek and Roman, European, pre-Columbian, and U.S. collections include—in addition to paintings, sculpture, and graphic arts—architecture, glass, ceramics, textiles, metalwork, furniture, arms and armour, and musical instruments. It also incorporates a Costume Institute and the Thomas J. Watson Library, one of the world's greatest art and archaeology reference collections. Much of the medieval collection is housed at The Cloisters in Manhattan's Fort Tryon Park; its building (1938) incorporates parts of medieval monasteries and churches.

A new health insurance plan to cover people with pre-existing conditions is now available in Colorado.
Gov. Bill Ritter plans to announce the details of the plan Tuesday, the first day that customers will be accepted. It's a result of health care reform passed by Congress this year and will be phased out in 2014 when the core parts of that legislation takes effect.
Colorado is one of 29 states that will administer their own plans. The federal government will run the program in the remaining 21 states.
A federal Web site set up to help people find insurance estimates that the monthly premium for someone between 26 and 64 in Colorado would range from $120 to $551 a month with a deductible of $2,500.

A new how-do-you-do from BenQ
BenQ announces new camera, but no release date or pricing, just in time for the holidays.
BenQ has just announced a new big-screen, high-ISO, compact snapshot camera, just in time for holiday shoppers to ask why the company is announcing a new product in mid-December. The X710 is a slim, 7.2-megapixel shooter with a big 3-inch LCD screen and a 30fps VGA movie mode that can hit ISO 4000 sensitivity for filming in low light. Of course, that setting will probably mean incredibly noisy, grainy movies that look like they come out of 1970s-era video tapes. Still shots can only go up to ISO 1200, which will still probably be pretty darn noisy. The camera uses a 3x (37.5 to 112.5mm-equivalent) zoom lens with BenQ's Shake Free mode...which just happens to be simply the aforementioned ISO 1200 still photo setting.
The camera itself might not be very impressive compared to, say, the image-stabilized

Babi Rossi
Babi Rossi | |
Born | Sao Paulo |
February 9, 1990
Occupation | Model, television actress |
Years active | 2008–present |
Babi Rossi ( born Bárbara Cristina Rossi in Sao Paulo, February 9, 1990) is a Brazilian model and singer, popularly known for her performance as a panicat for the live TV show Pânico na TV.
Starting her early career as a model, Babi made her entry to the television screen as an assistant in stage programming for the popular show Brothers Television Network & The Best of Brazil's Record. In 2010, she had a breakthrough in career when she made her way to the comedy program ""Pânico na TV"" as a panicat .[1] Panicats are group of models in tiny bikins who dance and sing on the stage during the program and often become subjects for the show's pranks. Becoming a successful panicat by winning the hearts of male audience, Babi currently holds the record for the panicat having the longest term in the show. She had a massive career uplift by the show and Babi starred in several advertising campaigns and essays. She also became the cover girl girl of many men's magazines, including Playboy.[2]
Her career as a panicat was met with many controversies and the most prominent one was the head shave episode. On April 22, 2012 she shaved her head live on the television. The audience initially thought it as a fake head shave but realized that it was serious and original by the end of the episode. Babi was unaware about the head shave and really shocked about the crew's decision; she tried to argue but it didn't work and the when she was crying for help, the crew mercilessly did the job.[3][4][5] Television critics, bloggers and newspapers severely criticized the show, stating that their prank crossed the barriers. Apparently, that particular episode holds the record for the most watched episode in the show's history and had a record audience participation.[6] "Bald Babi" became the hot topic of discussion in social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, and with that particular episode she earned international attention and immense fame.[7] To everyone's surprise, Babi Rossi later responded to the controversy rather mildly and said she enjoyed it.[8]
Personal life[edit]
Babi Rosi was born on Sao Paulo, Brazil on February 9, 1990 to a middle-class family. Her mother Margarete is a business woman. Babi is also a singer and runs a music band. Babi Rossi took over in January 2013 who is dating the son of billionaire Eike Batista, DJ Olin Batista .[9]

Teachers used to teach their students Reading, 'Riting, and 'Rithmatic. Children learned when that was what school was all about.
Now teachers:
Teachers are maligned by those who find doing so is profitable.
They have to implement programs that exist only to make money for the companies who design them and the salesmen who sell them to a school board who just cannot admit that they don't have all the answers and grab at whatever they think will make it look like they know what they are doing. Most of these programs have such a need to be justified, that rather than have time to actually teach children the teacher is expected to fill out forms and generate paperwork so the school district can have something to show as a way to appear to be doing what is best for children.
Teachers have been considered union thugs because, besides fighting for the proper education of children, they want to be treated like the professionals they are, not like they were the school marm on Little House on the Prairie.
And after all this it is now being suggested that teachers should be trained to act as armed guards and first responders in the event that someone may enter a school building with a gun.
School districts cannot afford basic classroom materials or the Professional Development programs teachers request, but they now seem to be able to afford guns and training so people can keep their assault weapons.
So on the one hand they are maligned as thugs, but then it is suggested they be armed.
It has now become standard procedure that when a social problem is recognized by the public, it is the teacher who is expected and required to be the one to handle it.
A novel idea might be to let the teachers teach without all those extra assignments.

Baldwin residents able to ride Midland train for reduced price
Baldwin City residents will have a extra opportunity to enjoy Midland Railway this weekend.
In cooperation with the Baldwin City Chamber of Commerce, Midland Railway will be sponsoring a train run 7 p.m. Saturday for Baldwin residents only.
Midland marketing director Bob Hruska said all Baldwin residents are invited to ride the train at half price.
"This is a special train ride to show our appreciation to the residents of Baldwin," Hruska said. "This is also a chance to get to know us and ask questions. It's a get acquainted session."
Tickets for the train rides are $4 for adults and $2 for children. Reservations are not needed.
"We will accommodate anybody that comes," Hruska said.
Before the train rides, there will be an ice cream social from 6 to 7 p.m. at the park adjacent to the depot. Hruska said the price of the ice cream has yet to be determined.
"We will have a lot of different flavors to choose from," he said.
Chamber of Commerce office manager Sharole Prahl said the event is a good opportunity for Baldwin residents.
"It's an opportunity to enjoy the sites and the train ride itself," Prahl said. "It's a good chance to see what Midland's been able to accomplish with the grants.
"People should get their friends and families together to go out and enjoy the evening," she said.

Grandson and Son gets Juno Nomination for Lost You by Zeds Dead X Twin Shadow
Congrats to all the other nominees!
Grandson and Son Joins Woolf + Lapin
Woolf + Lapin is quite thrilled to begin the new year with new directing talent, Grandson and Son.

Brent Bonacorso, Bukowski and Hyundai
This recent ad by Brent Bonacorso was shot in Istanbul and in the south of Turkey with Magdalena. The night stuff was shot right outside the walls of the Blue Mosque, next to the Hagia Sophia.
"In fact, we were driving around the remains of the Hippodrome of Constantinople, which is now paved, but with 3,500 year-old Egyptian obelisks in the center. So where once chariots raced, I drove in a Hyundai," says Brent.
The inspirational read is an excerpt from Charles Bukowski's Factotum.
BRTHR's New Film: Gems' Sinking Stone
BRTHR's newest outing, Gems' Sinking Stone, has a distinct dreamlike quality. It's chock-full of angst, self-discovery and experimentation.
Sinking Stone feels different from their previous work. It's like a sign of things to come for them. Not only does it show promise for fiction, but it feels like BRTHR found an adept way to bear down on the true essence of the song. There is a definite narrative and cinematic quality to it all. Their signature, eclectic editing is there for all to see, and the film itself showcases true film-making as well as emotional expertise.
BRTHR dubbed it a "fever dream," and that's precisely what it feels like.

Wicked ghost town saloon turned into Coolidge bed and breakfast
Published on -4/19/2014, 5:40 PM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
By Amy Bickel
The Hutchinson News
COOLIDGE -- It was a stopping place on the cattle trail for dusty cowboys -- a place for a drink and coarse entertainment.
"Dirty is putting it mildly," says Lori Lennen with a laugh. "They would have been a mud ball."
And while this structure still features a saloon appearance, Lennen's Trail City Bed and Breakfast in Coolidge is pristine.
The bar is long gone. So are the curtains that once separated the prostitutes upstairs. But it still is a place of respite for the weary traveler.
"It's amazing to think the upstairs was a brothel," said Lennen.
It's just part of the unique history that Lennen is preserving in her hometown of Coolidge, opening the bed and breakfast that once graced the defunct town of Trail City in fall 2011.
In fact, it's one of the last, if not the only building still standing from what was known as the wickedest little town on the Arkansas River. Trail City, after all, located on what is now the Kansas/Colorado border, was the notorious stepchild of the area -- a place of gambling and drinking, of womanizing and, on occasion, of murder.
"They'd charge (the cowboys) $10" for sex, Lennen has said in the past, noting the cowboys didn't seem to blink an eye at the cost -- sometimes just signing up for the job because they wanted to get to Trail City. "That would have been a lot of money back then."
The town grew because the Kansas Legislature prohibited Texas ranchers from driving their herds across the Kansas prairie to market, because the cattle carried Texas fever, which was caused by ticks, according to the book, "Hamilton County, Kansas History."
Thus, the herdsmen were forced to go westward and then travel up the western edge of Kansas, which became known as the National Cattle Trail, according to the book.
Trail City began in the early 1880s along the state line, just two miles west of Coolidge. It was one of the first stops on the trail for these cowboys, who were paid just $30 a month, according to Lennen. When they got to Trail City, they didn't seem to mind spending their money at the various saloons or for a stint at one of the brothels.
But the rough western town and its dirty deeds were short lived. Trail-driving cattle was on the decline, largely because by this time, railroads shipped cattle rather than a herd of cowboys on horses.
By 1887, just 100 frequented the stop that once boasted 500 people when the cowboys came to town. By the early 1890s, locals had moved many of the buildings to farms, to Holly, Colo., and into Coolidge.
That included the old saloon, which, for years, was used in Coolidge as a residence. When Lennen decided to come back to her hometown and help preserve it, she bought the home and began to turn it into a bed and breakfast.
The inn still has the tall, round, saloon facade on the outer front. And while a few walls are still the original horse-hair plaster, the inside is largely renovated.
Today the saloon has five bedrooms with baths for those needing a place to sleep while going east or west on U.S. 50. A stay comes complete with a full breakfast cooked by Lennen.
"We're now in our third year," said Lennen, adding she is receiving many repeat customers, including those doing business at one of Hamilton County's dairies. "Never did I dream that I would come back to Coolidge and be doing this. But I love it."

* Issues in Public Sensitivity to Disaster-Related Psychiatric Trauma (Japanese)
Jun Shigemura, MD
Clinical Professor, Dept Psychiatry
National Defense Medical University
Tokozawa, Japan
The Tohoku Event of 11 March 2011 encompassed a simultaneous triple disaster of an earthquake, a tsunami and multiple nuclear power plant accidents. In the aftermath of a localized disaster, albeit of this magnitude, peripherally-affected populations and professionals are frequently unsure of how to most effectively interact with both survivors and relief workers experiencing psychological sequelae. Among the most important considerations for relief workers are expressions of thanks and appreciation for the importance of the work they have undertaken. General expressions of understanding for the trauma experienced are recommended. One key caveat is caution about conveying an impression that the actual experience is of less consequence since it can be imagined by those who were not there. Expressions of kindness and shared purpose are also key components of the long-term healing process. Clinicians may find that less intervention and more availability to draw out internalized feelings may have greater therapeutic value. Both disaster workers and survivors may be reluctant to speak about their experiences for fear of introducing distasteful topics. Whenever possible, these fears should be dismissed and the patient urged to share experiences. Finally, especial concern is required for survivors and healthcare workers from Fukushima and environs because of the isolation and sequestration they may feel as real or imagined carriers of radioactive contamination.
