Sonically and thematically, Smells Like Children serves as both a supplement to Portrait and as a transition between that album and the as-yet-unrecorded Antichrist Superstar, which the band will begin making early next year. "It is a bit of a bridge between what has been and what will be," Manson says, "because on Portrait things were always full throttle. There was nothing dynamically laid-back [on Portrait] in the way that we did on Smells Like Children, while on the next record there are a lot of those [laid-back] dynamics."
One curious track on Children, "White Trash," is a remake of "Cake and Sodomy" performed not by the band but by acoustic artist Tony Wiggins, who recently helped the band find some, uh, new ways to expand their boundaries. "The new record originally started out with a recording I had made over the past year with Wiggins," Manson states. "I met him last year while we were on tour with Danzig. He is a very dangerous person because he has no fear of the repercussions of his actions. He's very reckless and tends to be an exciting person to be around. He and I had gotten together on this human studies project, you could call it, in which he would tie people up and have them confess things to me."
The recording Manson originally intended to open Children with was that of a girl asking Wiggins to beat and choke her to near-death. But to Manson's dismay, Time-Warner -- the company that currently distributes Nothing -- did not want to handle the disc if the track was included, for fear of some manner of legal action. "They felt there was possibly a felony being committed, and without the clearance of everyone whose voice was on the recordings, they couldn't be sure exactly what had happened," says Manson. The punch line came when Time-Warner accidentally printed up several thousand copies of the record in its original version, then sent them out as advance copies. Although they were pulled from circulation, Manson points out the version is now being widely bootlegged. (Florida audiences might have the opportunity to see the dangerous Wiggins perform his politically incorrect, acoustic Southern-folk rock in person as an opening act on the Marilyn Manson tour, which rolls into Fort Lauderdale this Saturday and Sunday.)
Also featured in the pair of shows will be tunes slated for the upcoming album, which Manson says will point the band in new aural directions. "If anybody thought we crossed all the lines and said all that had to be said on Portrait, that's not the case," he asserts. "Musically, it's more aggressive in many ways, and less aggressive in many ways. It's more commercial, and completely uncommercial in many ways. It really digs into the positive and negative aspects of Marilyn Manson more, and shows both sides more than we've done in the past. Smells Like Children is a good transition. To me, at the point when we put it out, I thought one of the more shocking things I could do was to do a cover of a song like 'Sweet Dreams' or 'I Put a Spell on You,' because it was just very out of context for me. There are different ways of testing the boundaries without breaking the law."
For Manson -- who was raised in Ohio as a devout Christian, attended a private school where he was beaten up a lot by other kids, and was recently ordained as an honorary reverend of the Church of Satan by celebrated San Francisco satanist Anton LaVey -- testing the boundaries is not an act but a way to work out his aggression and air his philosophies. "Marilyn Manson, besides being our band and what I feel inside, is anyone who identifies with our music. I'm almost like a spokesperson for a generation of kids who are lost because they aren't allowed to be themselves. There's a real lack of icons and rock stars in music today; everything is very safe and bland, in easy-to-swallow caplets. Rock and roll has always been about causing a stir and saying something; even Jerry Lee Lewis used to set his piano on fire and fuck his thirteen-year-old cousin. When I was growing up, people who I was inspired by were David Bowie, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, KISS, Black Sabbath, and all these bands that were bigger than life. That's the way I learned about music, so it's not surprising to me or to anyone who knew me as a kid that that's what I would want to bring back to the music."
However, unlike the man whose surname he's borrowed, Manson insists he doesn't want to create a cult around himself. "Sometimes kids come up to me dressed like me or made up like me, and I let them know that's not the point," he notes. "The point is be yourself and do what makes you happy. I think that if we have a society or group of people that are individuals, it would be the polar opposite of fascism A very un-Christian, even satanic, if you will. There is a fine line, and it's a burden on my shoulders."

"You shouldn't complain -- it won't help," I told him before rethinking my position. "Hell, maybe it will help -- keep complaining."
It helped. Gonzalez soon hit a rifle shot over the left-field wall to end what will be remembered as the greatest game of this World Series. Everyone went crazy. I hugged a stranger and lifted my cheering boy over my head. We left the stadium whooping and hollering like a few Jersey guys who just got handed free World Series tickets.
"We're going to do it in Yankee Stadium!" I kept yelling as we ran down the long spiraling concourse.The sheer greatness of the two previous nights didn't come without a price. I had a whopping baseball hangover (all that stadium beer had nothing to do with it, I assure you). I was totally strung out, throat raw from cheering, hands numb from clapping, nerves frayed, senses dulled.
But I dragged myself out to Pro Player anyway. I had to finish what I started.
And the market was sheer hell, much worse than for game four. I scrambled a little and got a couple of decent hits on club seats -- $200 each, or $55 over face value. But I wanted better.
Then, about ten minutes before the first pitch, I saw a guy with a bandage around his knee haggling with some people a couple of hundred yards from the stadium, near the east parking lot.
"What do you got?" I asked.
"Section 142, 12 rows up," he said. "I hurt my leg and can't go to the game."
Great, great seats at first base. How much?
I haggled him down to $190 and took the ticket -- a real coup. These seats were going for $500 or more. I sauntered up to the gate, feeling that old excitement coming back. When I walked through the turnstile, the woman scanning the ticket said, "Uh-oh, this says 'Stop.'"
She showed me her handheld scanner. In red lights was that dreadful horrible word. "You have to go back," she told me. "There's something wrong with your ticket. Go to gate G."
I felt a burning in my chest like lava that dripped down into my stomach. I had a primordial impulse to make a break for the stands. But that might have led to a takedown by police, an even worse prospect.
No, nothing could be worse than this. I looked at the ticket. It said "Wednesday." This, of course, was "Thursday." I'd stupidly broken the first rule of black-market ticket-buying: Check the date.
It's moments like these that test a man. I could have easily collapsed to the ground and blubbered like a baby. I pictured the guy with the bandaged knee sprinting to his car. Anger took hold. I started running, hoping to catch him.
No use. Nobody is stupid enough to stick around after that. Hell, $190 is a good day's work for any scumbag who's not already elected to political office. That limping SOB was gone forever.
And then... there he was... not that far from where he'd sold me the ticket. I stormed up to him. "This ticket is no good! Give my fucking money back."
It might be good to mention here that I was about ten years younger than this middle-aged hack. I was also four inches taller, probably 30 pounds heavier, and, though I'm no specimen, in much better shape. I had a distinct physical edge, and I was seriously considering using it.
"What?" he said, as if in shock. "The guy at the black Hummer limo gave me these. He was hanging out drinking beer, and he pulled the ticket out of a fresh envelope. I can't believe this. C'mon, man, let's go get the money. I gave him face value of the ticket after I sold it to you. All I made was $45."
Black Hummer limo? Somebody had fronted this jackass a ticket? It wasn't believable, but I tell you, I gave him some benefit of the doubt just because he was there. I mean, who would risk life and limb by hanging around? It was too weird.
"The guy's not going to be there," I said as I walked beside him. "You ripped me off, and you're going to give me my money back."
"I got ripped off too!" he said. "I can't give you that kind of money,"
Two options sprung to mind: the aforementioned physical remedy -- which might land me a battery charge -- or going straight to the cops.
"I'll go down for this one, motherfucker," I told him. "We're going to the police. I'm having your ass arrested."
I edged close to him and punched my hand; he flinched like he thought I was going to hit him. Suddenly, it felt like a science experiment.
"I'm licensed. I'm a professional broker from St. Louis," he complained. "I make 50 grand a year -- my business has $120,000 overhead."
"Then give me my money. Selling anything here is illegal... you're going to jail."
It was a bluff. I knew I wasn't going to the cops. Even though I didn't commit a crime, I was participating in criminal activity. It would be a crapshoot. They might help me get my money back -- or they might boot me off the property $190 lighter.

A Sip-and-Puff Wireless Remote Control for the Apple iPod
By Jones, Michael; Grogg, Kevin; Anschutz, John; Fierman, Ruth; Assistive Technology, Vol. 20, No. 2, pp. 107-110Publication Date: 2008
Paper describes modifications to an existing wireless remote control for the Apple iPod enabling its operation using sip-and-puff switches by individuals with limited upper extremity dexterity due to cervical-level spinal cord injury. The circuit board from an AirClick wireless remote control unit by Griffin Technology was modified to function with sip-and-puff switches. Given the operating controls of the iPod, the wireless controller was set up so a short sip activates the Play and Pause functions and an extended sip activates the Power Off function. Each short puff skips to the next song, and an extended puff fast-forwards in 5-second increments within a song. The switches were tested by 30 of the authors' patients with high-level cervical spinal cord injuries, all of whom were able to use all the functions of the remote controller, which requires minimal sip-and-puff energy to activate. To date, the interface has been developed for iPod models 4G, 5G, iPod photo, iPod mini, and iPod Nano. Limitations to the system, including its inoperable volume-control function, are discussed. Preparation of the article was supported in part by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) of the U.S. Department of Education.

Two weeks ago, I wrote about Handgun Malfunctions and how you can fix them with a simple Tap-Rack-Roll to the Right. If you haven't read it, go read it first. There are a couple of safety considerations that should be looked at before trying to learn the next step in clearing your handgun (if you don't know what a squib round or audible pop is, go read this first).
If Immediate Action (Tap-Rack-Roll to the right) doesn't work, then what? I normally do it again. My experience with handguns is that if it doesn't work the first time, it's not going to work the second time, but with rifles it does about half the time. I'd like to claim commonality of training, but in reality, my brain is trained when the weapon doesn't fire, do Immediate Action. So it takes me twice before my brain engages and I think to do something else.
That something else is Intermediate Action. The military has taught some version of SPORTS (Army Version: Slap the Mag, Pull the Slide back, Observe the brass coming out, Release the slide, Tap it forward, Shoot; Marine Corps: Seek Cover, Pull Slide to the rear, Observe for Brass or Obstruction, Release the Slide, Tap it forward, Sight in and attempt to fire… I had to pull my Green Monster for that one). All are just crap. It takes too long and you have to figure out what happened and then, how to clear it.
Here's a sure fire way to clear your weapon without looking or knowing what's wrong with it. I got the technique from Bill Murphy at Firearms Training Associates and the song to describe it from Suarez International.
After trying Tap-Rack-Roll go for Lock-Rip-Work-Reload and don't look at the gun.
Step by Step:
- LockLock the slide to the rear to take the spring tension off of what ever is in the chamber. If you don't the problem is held inside the gun by the recoil spring trying to put the gun back into battery.
- Rip Grab the magazine and rip it out of the gun. Most of the time when there is a problem you will have a round partially out of the magazine and it will hang up in the chamber or feed ramp keeping the magazine from following out of the gun. Rip that magazine out to get it out of the way.
- Work Now that everything is out of the way, run the gun, sling shot it, power stroke it, or what ever you want to call it, three times. Don't be timid, there may be something stuck in the chamber. Grab the top of the slide with your off hand thumb pointed at you (PIC) and run the gun as hard as you can all three times.
- Reload Get a fresh magazine and put it in the gun if you have one because most of the time that magazine is your problem. Put that magazine in smartly and rack the slide one more time to get a fresh round back in the chamber.
You can do this in seconds and it will fix almost any problem you have with a handgun. There are only a few things that this won't help to clear your problem, but we'll go over that in the next post.
To set up a drill to practice, the easiest way is to create a double feed. To do that, lock the slide to the rear, insert a magazine, with the slide still open, drop a loose round (of the appropriate caliber) into the top of the gun and hit the slide release. Both rounds will try to get into the chamber and create a mess. For bonus points before you start, smack the back of the slide forward to get everything stuck. This will force you to run the gun with some authority to clear it.
After creating the mess, try Tap-Rack-Roll, sometimes it works. If it doesn't, Lock the slide to the rear, Rip the magazine out (I like to retain it just in case it's my last one), Work the slide three times hard and fast, Reload the gun with a new magazine if you have one and then work the slide one more time to chamber a round.
You can do this drill live fire on the range or use dummy rounds at your home. Either way, do this a lot until it becomes automatic and you'll be on top of 99.9% of all malfunction issues.
Stay Safe,

WOW! The "Everyone Hates Penny" club has many followers. I have to admit I agree. I have watched FN since the 1990s and have no idea where they are trying to go with this season on NFNS. Do the judges see or hear any of the drama that happens in the house? Or do cameras just follow the contestants and maximize the drama opportunity that the "women" in the house provide? Was Penny bullied growing up and now seeks revenge on all she meets? She keeps blaming the other women but I don't think the guys like her either. Kudos to Vic who seems to stay out of the drama. If I were on the show I'd keep my focus on my activities and results. There is no rule requiring feedback about other contestants so I'd keep my trap shut!
There is no place for someone like Penny on Food Network. She continually demonstrates disrespect and distrust for everyone around her. She appears mean-spirited and full of hate. What the judges have described as "strong", I perceive as "hard" and "cold". I have never felt even a molecule of warmth or caring emanating from her. "Assertive" is a good thing. "Aggressive" – which is how Penny has been described – is not! "Competitive" is fine. "Combative" not so much.
I can not understand how Penny made it past the initial screening process, and I don't understand how anyone can go on defending her inexcusible behavior. Please, please, please get her off of Food Network without further delay. She is the antithesis of the warm, caring upbeat image Food Network has worked so diligently to develop.
She has got to GO!!!! I work at a high school and have never seen anybody not play well with others as she does..
It has saddened me to watch Penny, she is very unkind… but worse, does she realize it is kind of a popularity contest. I don't care if she is the best cook on the planet – her actions during this contest ensures that I and everyone else I know won't watch her.
If I wanted to watch this kind of stuff, I would tune into the Housewives…. eeeeks!
I cannot tolerate Penny on your current star episode. If she wins I will not watch the show. The sooner she is sent home the better!!! I don't care for Vic and all the tatoos and piercings!!! I wouldn't watch him either.
I will enjoy it much better when these two are gone. I didn't like the first guy you sent home either!The others are great to watch!!
"In my opinion, Penny is the worst canidate! If she wins, I will not be watching her show. I think she is so irritating! I hope she is off the show ASAP!!!"
I have been greatly disappointed by this years "Food Network Star" challenge. I have watch many in the past but this one has the focus in the wrong place. The focus should be on the food, not how the challengers present it. I know this is a big part of the Food Network Shows, but does not create a food show worth watching. The food part go by so fast that you sometimes cannot tell what food has been cooked by the stars.
I used to love this show, but they now seem to bend over backwards to promote Middle Eastern mama drama. Perhaps they think it will promote ratings. Perhaps it is because they are trying to increase diversity on the show. I've tolerated her so far hoping they would get rid of her soon. But, the judges seemed to support her even though she is the one who clearly creates her own drama and is so disrespectful and rude to everyone else. Food Network is a wholesome, family channel. No one needs that "woman" as a role model. She is classless, rude, tacky and unjustifiably arrogant. The show needs to set an example and tell her that she is gone because they will not tolerate how disrespectful and rude she is. She is an offense to strong women. You can be strong and confident without being an utterly, classless, rude shrew.
Got that right! Penny should go audition for Survivor and leave Next Food Network Star for someone more personable and much less vicious.
MTV used to be about music, now it's about drama. I feel that the food network is going in the same direction. :(
I really hope that the Food Network folks actually read these comments and realize that if Penny wins, NOBODY will watch her show. I won't argue that she is probably one of the best chefs there, but her lack of personality would kill any show. She is rude and a back-stabber. That episode where she was paired with Mary she would kiss-kiss and be all nice and then stab her in the back to the camera, what a B****!! She has the people skills of a porcupine and should be given the same distance by all the human race.
Every time one of the stars are on food network star. I quit watching their show. They are rude and not nice at all. Giada really depressed me. Thought she was sweet but her words are ugly. You can be a critic without being harsh and ugly. This saddens me because I love cooking shows. Oh well, I will watch the ones that are not or ever been on the show.

All the Swears, For This…
1March 14, 2014 by Lorna Richardson
This thesis examines the impact of the democratic promises of Internet communication technologies, social and participatory media on the practice of public archaeology. This exploration is focused within professional archaeological communities working in commercial archaeology, higher education, local authority planning departments and community settings, as well the voluntary archaeology sector, in the UK.
This work has contributed an innovative perspective on the subject matter through its use of a Grounded Theory approach to data collection and analysis, and the use of a combination of online survey data, case studies and email questionnaires in order to address the following issues: the provision of authoritative archaeological information online; barriers to participation; policy and organisational approaches to evaluating success and archiving; community formation and activism, and the impact of digital inequalities and literacies on participation in inclusive public archaeology.
This work has made significant contributions to debates on the practice and impact of public archaeology. It has shown that archaeologists do not proactively support the interpretations and perspectives created and imagined by non-professionals within the framework of the participatory web (MacArthur 2011, 61). In the UK at least, this is frequently because the alternative interpretations simply do not exist, belong firmly in the realms of the uncanny or unreasonable, or are part of spiritual beliefs, local or family history and folklore, and therefore not part of professionally-produced archaeological data or narratives, but remain of value to the communities in which they are sustained.
This work documents a period of great change within the practice of public archaeology in the UK, and captures some of the digital ephemera associated with this shift in policy and practice. It concludes with the observation that we have not yet witnessed digital public archaeologies that have lead "to the creation and modification of social customs" (Evrard 1997, 171).
This work has shown that whilst recognition of democratic participation and multi-perspectivalism is not, on the whole, undertaken through a process of actively acknowledging shared authority or through accommodating poly-vocal responses to archaeological information, there remains potential for participatory media to support and accommodate these ideals.
One thought on "All the Swears, For This…"

First day? Welcome!
True or False: You're ready to achieve your higher education and career goals? That's what we thought. And that's what we're here for. From college to career-we've got you covered. So get going! Your future's waiting.
By doing research and performing examinations, psychologists study all aspects of the mind. Health facilities employ approximately 30 percent of all working psychologists, while 40 percent work in educational environments, in such positions as counselors, educators, and researchers. Most often, these academically connected psychologists maintain a private practice while teaching or conducting research. Psychologists working in academic settings have flexibility in their schedules, but the demands on their time are high. Private practice is the goal of many psychologists. While seeing private patients means a psychologist is her own boss, it also means accommodating patients with evening or weekend hours. A government or corporate psychologist, by contrast, works in a more structured environment. Their hours are fixed and they often work alone. There's some relief and enjoyment in the occasional conference that takes them away from writing reports. Despite potentially grueling schedules and emotional demands, psychologists report great satisfaction in their jobs; the gratification they receive from helping others keeps them in the field. Wrote one psychologist, "The best thing about this job is that people open up their lives to you-that's a great responsibility but also an honor."
Plan on spending many years in school if you want to embark on a career in psychology. A Ph.D. will enable you to work in the widest range of positions, and doing graduate work toward a doctoral degree consumes between five and seven years. Obtaining this distinguished degree hinges on completing a dissertation based on original research. Before you begin this research, you must complete coursework in quantitative research methods, statistics, and computers. If you want to work in a clinical or counseling setting, you will begin to work with patients under supervision before the degree is completed, and at least another year of supervised work experience is required afterward. Most academic programs require counseling psychology students to undergo psychoanalysis as part of their training. The newer Psy.D., Doctor of Psychology, will qualify you for clinical positions. The Psy.D. is awarded based not on a dissertation but on clinical experience and exams. The time and effort it takes to get this degree are comparable to the Ph.D. The difference is the emphasis on counseling, while the Ph.D. candidate also does research. Thus, employment options for those with a Psy.D. are less flexible than for those with a Ph.D. Besides the years of study and internships, psychologists offering patient care must be certified and licensed by the state in which they intend to practice. Most of these licensing exams are standardized tests, but some states require applicants to pass essay or oral exams. These tests are designed to ensure that candidates have both knowledge of the field and appropriate personal qualities. Without a doctoral degree you can find job options within psychology, but these positions will always require supervision by doctoral-level psychologists. Candidates holding master's degrees can work as assistants and may administer tests, conduct research and psychological evaluations, and counsel certain patients. The master's degree requires a minimum of two years of full-time study and a one-year internship. The candidate has the choice of obtaining practical experience or completing a research-based thesis. Those with only a bachelor's degree in psychology find their options more limited. They can work as assistants to psychologists and other mental health professionals. Graduate schools tend to look favorably on undergraduate degrees in psychology. Other good majors for future psychologists are biological, physical, and social sciences, statistics, and mathematics.
A Ph.D. in psychology creates numerous opportunities to work in fields other than counseling. Teaching and research are the areas most populated by non-practicing psychologists. With master's-level qualifications, teaching in high schools or junior colleges is possible, while doctoral-level qualifications allow you to teach at the college and post-graduate levels. Other related fields include psychometrics, a new but burgeoning area that attracts psychologists. Psychometricians invent, refine, and administer tests of competence and aptitude that are usually used in corporate settings. Many advertising agencies also look favorably on applicants with some background in psychology.

Even though members of a society hold different opinions and values, they must agree on certain rules and procedures in order to get things accomplished. In a nation, the government is the ultimate body that sets the framework for how we live together, from national environmental policy to economic regulations that affect the pizza place down the street. No matter if your personal politics skew liberal or conservative, a political science degree can help you learn how to better participate in and analyze the important decisions affecting your nation and community.
As a political science major, you will study theories of government and discuss their implications for current events. In your first years, you'll focus on studying key actors, institutions and ideologies, examining them in comparative historical and global contexts. Through internship opportunities, you'll participate in the political process in action. Through research, you'll learn to evaluate different measures of the will of the people. In your final years in the program, you will apply the background you've built to make your own independent contributions to politics and the study thereof.

NPR/PBS's Hinojosa Envisions New Haven's Mañana
by Lucy Gellman | Mar 28, 2014 7:58 am
(2) Comments | Commenting has been closed | E-mail the Author
Posted to: Arts & Culture, TV/Radio, Immigrants
Maria Hinojosa had a problem: CNN wanted her to use a word that just didn't feel right: Illegal. Not right on the tip of the tongue, not right when it swirled around in the gut. So she sought advice from a man "who couldn't be more unlike me:" Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, winner of the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize.
His answer was clear. "Never use that term. There is no such thing as an illegal human being."
She brought that lesson not just to her journalistic practice, but also to New Haven, where she spoke Thursday evening on the topic of "Being Latino in the U.S." to a crowd of close to 300. The event was a product of the Progreso Latino Fund's (PLF) annual community forum and the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven's (CFGNH) Convening series, intended to "identify and examine ideas that will build a stronger community in the Greater New Haven region."
As founder, president and CEO of The Futuro Media Group, Hinojosa produces NPR's program Latino USA and has now created a TV series for PBS called By The Numbers With Maria Hinojosa. She spoke at the Omni Hotel ballroom.
At a welcome reception before the forum, Fernando Muñiz, co-chair of the PLF advisory committee, described his hopes for the evening. "I want people to hear a positive message about what Latinos contribute to greater New Haven and to the state, to get a better understanding of how big the community is and how much it's growing."
"Maria speaks about optimism for Latinos," added co-chair Cynthia Rojas. "Maria speaks about optimism for Latinos. For our future ... and the optimism that we should feel. Progreso Latino Fund is all about what we bring to New Haven, what we bring to the state. If everybody walked away feeling optimistic about our future, and the diversity that we bring to the state, we've done our work."
Hinojosa has the kind of tempered yet fiery voice that fills the room and brings everyone up from the middle of their seats; her sense of civic obligation is as palpable as it is contagious.
"We are facing extraordinary challenges as Latinos in the Unites States today," she began. "It's a strange story that we're living through ... We are part of a massive historic change in demographics and power and how we construct our society. You are the leaders, you are the history makers of this Connecticut."
"You have to own your story ... Your narrative ... of leadership and power. We have to act as leaders. We have a historic responsibility to do that."
A self-professed "democracy junkie," Hinojosa also made clear exactly why communities are currently in need of strong Latino leaders, outlining several miscarriages of justice that are taking place daily within national borders. Ranging from the woes of the librotraficante in Arizona to Georgia's ban on undocumented students in college classrooms, culture wars are very much worth being waged.
"Every 90 seconds in our country a Latino is turning 18. At the same time that's happening, we have the highest rates of detention, deportation, and incarceration. It is confusing. It is misleading. And I believe that we are, unfortunately, the guinea pigs for a consistent violation of due process and basic human rights in our country. Because we have became the other. In the mainstream media, we are the illegals. We are the foreigners."
But it doesn't have to feel that way, Hinojosa said. Indeed, it shouldn't feel that way.
"Connections must be made at the level of 'why are we being separated and dis-empowered and disenfranchised and made the other, and dehumanized?' Why?'"
Enter local action. New Haveners, she argued, can have a direct impact on a rapidly changing social landscape. "The country is watching what is happening in New Haven. We at Latino USA have been watching and talking and covering the story of what's happening in this part of Connecticut. People here have worked around the notion of being visible. This activism is actually on the map. You can in fact have an impact. If Latinos in greater New Haven succeed, so does New Haven, and so does Connecticut."
This got the crowd thinking audibly. A flurry of right rights, yess and sís rippled through the audience. Fitting, then, that she left them with a resonant message of social engagement.
"When we cross borders amongst ourselves, and begin to see ourselves in the person most unlike us, that is the time where our common humanity begins. That person is America…the new America, and all of our America."

Muy bueno, Maria! The USA is a much better country and New Haven a much better city because of multicultural, diverse ethnicity and history. And the Latino, or Hispanic, community is a very important part of that.

What do I do with the LU card at the end of a person's employment or studies?
Authorisation in the access system ceases when a person is deleted from LUCAT/STiL. But as the card functions as an identity document as well as an access key, the holder must be asked to return it, whereupon it is to be cut in half and disposed of.

At www.lu.se/emergency there is an incident report form that should be used if something happens to your card. The form includes an option to report a lost card (this should also be used if the card is damaged). Information can be found on the above page.
At www.lu.se/lukortet there is information about where to get a new card, with opening hours etc. When you get a new card, your access rights are automatically transferred to the new card.
Is a copy of my card saved so that I can get a new one without having to have my photograph taken again?
Copies of access cards are not saved for security reasons. Every card is unique and is produced when the holder is sitting in front of the camera (just like for other identity documents in Sweden).
Whom do I contact to get a new card?
For access cards, contact one of the University's three (soon four) card stations in Lund or the one in Helsingborg or Malmö. Every access card takes a maximum of 90 seconds to produce and the stations have generous opening hours (it is also possible to make special appointments in urgent cases or for groups). For more information, see www.lu.se/lukortet.
It would be good to have the possibility of a temporary access card valid for 24 hours. Is this possible?
Because the access rights are personal (for staff, students, visitors or contractors), it is quicker to produce a personal card. Dealing with temporary cards would therefore entail more work.
Timeframes: when do the new cards come into effect – and when will the current ones stop working?
Lund University will gradually replace the access systems which are not compatible with the new card. The aim is to have everything ready before the turn of the year 2011/2012. Producing new cards for everyone now creates the conditions for a smooth transition. The old cards will remain valid until the old systems have been replaced.
Region Skåne is also working on a transition to card-compatible systems.
Does this apply only to employees or to all those who require access to the University's buildings?
All those connected to Lund University are to have a card.
This also applies to people who normally have another employer and do not have a card from that employer which is compatible with the University's access system.
Why is this common access card being implemented now?
The need for an overall access and identity card has been on the wish list for a long time (it is also on the list that the Vice-Chancellor received from Lund University Students' Unions last year), as up to 35 different cards are currently needed just to move around within Lund University. Lund University is part of a national and European cooperation project called European Campus Card Association, which aims to increase opportunities to move freely between all higher education institutions in Europe through the use of one card in all locations.
Region Skåne is also working towards the same objective, which means that anyone in possession of an RS card will also be able to use it within Lund University in the future.

Portal Log In
Greensfelder's Employee Benefits Practice Group not only drafts health and welfare plans, but also gives extensive counseling regarding the operation of these plans. We have been involved in domestic partner issues, drafting enforceable subrogation provisions, extensively advising our clients about HIPAA compliance, and all other facets of this area.
Medical Plans In an era of escalating medical costs, it is imperative that the sponsoring employer understand precisely what benefits it offers through its medical plan and that those benefits are clearly and accurately written into the plan and summary plan description. To that end, our attorneys have prepared numerous medical plan documents, have counseled clients regarding cost-saving measures with respect to their medical plans and have handled numerous claims under medical plans regarding such items as whether particular treatments are experimental.
Cafeteria Plans Tax driven benefits such as cafeteria plans are an essential component of most employee benefit programs. Greensfelder employee benefits attorneys have been handling the design, drafting and implementation of cafeteria plans since the mid-eighties. We are intimately familiar with both the final and proposed regulations with respect to these arrangements and understand how to advise clients as to the avoidance of noncompliance.
Dependent Care Assistance As a subcomponent of most employee benefit programs, many employers provide a dependent care assistance program for the benefit of their employees. These programs require proper design, drafting and implementation. Greensfelder attorneys have handled many such plans and are keenly aware of the compliance issues regarding dependent care assistance programs.
Life Insurance Life insurance inevitably comes in different packages. To that end, our attorneys have worked with group term life insurance, split dollar life insurance, universal life insurance, self-funded death benefit programs and other more exotic forms of insurance. We not only understand the rules governing these programs, we understand how they are best used in an employer's benefit program package. Accordingly, our advice oftentimes is not only legal, but also practical with respect to these programs.
Disability Plans Greensfelder employee benefits attorneys have drafted and worked with numerous long-term and short-term disability programs. We have drafted these plans and litigated claims against the plans. Given our litigation experience, as well as our design and drafting experience, we are keenly aware of the issues regarding the definition of disability and the difficulties, which arise regarding the compilation of such plans.
HIPAA HIPAA relates to several aspects of the operation of employee welfare benefit plans and includes such things as electronic data transfer, privacy concerns and substantive requirements imposed on medical plans. We have dedicated significant resources to understanding and implementing HIPAA compliance.
Health Care Reimbursement Frequently an employer will require a tax effective way to provide medical benefits. A medical reimbursement or health care reimbursement program is such a program, which we have had significant experience in designing, drafting and implementing.
COBRA Compliance COBRA has evolved into a major national cultural institution. Its compliance is complex and fraught with the potential for severe penalties. Greensfelder attorneys are well versed in COBRA compliance. Moreover, we have represented the defendants in one of the most celebrated COBRA compliance court cases, Geissal v. Moore Medical Corp.

Join the Vesta Exploration
Dawn is traveling through the Solar System at this very moment, spiraling around the Sun toward the spacecrafts first destination, Vesta. Vesta is one of the biggest and brightest bodies in the asteroid belt. It can be found in a wide swath of solar debris and accretions located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Here are two activities to help you understand more about Vesta and encounter some of the thrills and challenges that Dawn scientists experience!
- Explorer Guide: Modeling Asteroid Vesta (PDF)
- Photo slideshow demonstration
Modeling Vesta in 3-D
Taking four of the best images we have of Vesta taken by Hubble Space Telescope Vestas front, side, back and other side you and your friends craft a clay model. Together you will create a whole Vesta! |
Create a Vesta Flipbook
Animators build cartoons by flipping through a series of images over time. Make a flipbook using Vesta images to help you picture the asteroid spinning on its axis in orbit through space! |
A last thought before you start you can do your explorations by yourself, but theyre more fun (and make better sense) when you and your friends do them together!
