'On the Road to Equality' Kicks Off Arkansas Stop
September 16, 2011
This post is from Zack Hasychak, Community Events Manager at HRC.
HRC's Equality Bus has arrived in The Natural State to spread our message of equality with Arkansans in a state that has few legal protections for LGBT people.
This morning, we held an open house at the University of Central Arkansas and hundreds of students and faculty came by to see the exhibit and hear about our work across America promoting justice and fairness for all. In addition to HRC, several other local groups were present to inform students of the many LGBT resources in their community.
We met Kendra, an ally and HRC supporter who told us the story of her best friend, a gay man who was disowned by his family after coming out as gay. He's recently found a network of friends who helped him through his struggle. We also met Eric, who found an affirming church in his hometown through HRC, and which has helped him reconcile being LGBT and a person of faith.
Despite being in one of America's reddest states, the LGBT community in Arkansas is growing in number and influence, and not staying silent.
We kick off an exciting four days of activities today that include events focused on LGBT health, youth activism, faith and acceptance, and the state of the LGBT movement. Stay tuned for more updates from our stop here in Arkansas!

4 Walls To A Cell
In a letter,
I remember what you said to me once:
I'm 15 and sentenced to indefinite months.
For what I have done, I will never have a drivers license
or even legally own a car.
I will never fall in love
and tell her, no matter the distance, for her I will go near and far.
I will never be married or have children,
never will I know the feeling of moving out my moms house
and into my own apartment building.
It's a cruel and crazy world,
for every action there's a reaction,
what you reap is what you sow.
Whether you shot some one or beat them to death with a bat
Lawyer said there's witness against you
so there is no point in fighting back.
victim of my environment is what you say to the judge
grew up with hard heads, so your Honor,
I stay with a grudge.
Sentenced to life but you say it's a bid
how many people loose their life
over a mistake they did as a kid.
Too much pride so you leave the courtroom
with your head held high
but deep inside it hurts to see
how your mother cries and how slowly she dies.
When you go to prison
they send you far away from home
the amount of time just hit you
so in this world you feel alone.
1st weeks refusing visits and your mail
feel like raising hell
went from surviving in the streets, to
4 walls to a cell.
Its true. Do the crime and pay the time I say
but even the coldest of hearts don't enjoy living this way.
Waiting for a guard to call your name
so you can have a visit from your family
who want to see how much you've changed.
Your daughter goes to see you once a year
when they leave, you sigh but never shed a tear.
Even if they wanted to friends can't visit
cause most of them in there with you, dead or just missing.
When I think about my whole life and all of my struggles
I realize, I'm missing more than my friends,
I'm missing a bunch of my brothers.
Miss how we use to kick it back in the days
when we called ourselves C.S.G
we were a bunch of teens plotting on different ways,
just to get payed.
Chris, Negro and all my peoples up the road doing time
when you feeling low and about to loose control
Pray to God above and he will free your mind.
Let me keep it real,
Can't say I know how you feel
but everyday I pray you take it one day at a time
and learn to just chill.
Not much I could do for you or say
but pray, smoke one to the head and think about how it use to be back in the days.
Want to dedicate this to all my boys locked in the Pen
even too those who I just don't see anymore
still consider you all, my closest of friends....

Building a world class finance function
Session recap
Building a world class finance function
Long-term view, employees key to finance function
Plan ahead, take the long view, and don't forget the importance of employees throughout the IPO process.
Those directives are from the panel discussion "Building a world-class finance function." Moderated by Will Bowmer, Managing Director of Barclays, the panel gathered C-suite executives and IPO advisors to offer ways to advance your finance function.
The CFO's role throughout the IPO process is critical, but ensuring the accuracy of the numbers is only the beginning. The CFO is also responsible for leading internally and for being an experienced, credible public face for finance.
It can take a year or more to get yourself and your team ready for the spotlight. Given the pressure you may be facing, make sure you have alignment with the board about a reasonable IPO time frame, shared Barry Zwarenstein, CFO of Five9, Inc.
Afterward, panelists agreed you should take the long view. "The IPO is not an objective of itself, but it's an instrument," said Martín Migoya, CEO of Globant. "When you start thinking like that, then putting the company together around that concept makes it easier."
Michael B. Capilouto, Partner, Ernst & Young LLP, also said not to make employees an afterthought. Prospective investors will want to know how your company will incentivize employees to stay with the company. In addition, good communication can help employees understand stock price fluctuations.
"Changing the mentality to become a public company is really becoming more buttoned up," said John Castro, the recently retired Chairman and CEO of Merrill Corporation. "It takes everyone in the organization to really understand that."

Paradise overlooked?
Opinion: Columns
By John Hubbuch
The good Christians among you will recall the story of Paul. He led a life of sin until God knocked him off his ass onto his ass, and he made a U-turn on the road to Damascus and became St. Paul. I'm no saint, but I too have had an epiphany.
Over the years I have from time to time written critical, snarky, even mean-spirited comments about the governments of Oak Park. Others provide similar negative comment. I'm somewhat unusual in that I use my real name. My epiphany comes from reading the National Citizen Survey, Village of Oak Park, 2011.
The survey is a collaborative effort between National Research Center Inc. (NRC) and the International City/Community Management Association. Both organizations are legitimate and, as far as I can tell, unbiased. Oak Park households were selected at random to answer a very comprehensive survey. A total of 453 completed surveys were obtained, providing an overall response rate of 39 percent. Typical response rates are 25-40 percent. The margin of error is 5 percent.
NRC has a database of approximately 500 jurisdictions which are similarly surveyed. As a result, Oak Park can be compared with other communities. A "benchmark" emerges and Oak Park can be evaluated as being "above" or "below" the benchmark. Pretty cool.
Now the report is 87 pages, but the executive summary is much shorter. A few excerpts tell the story. "The overall quality of life in the Village of Oak Park was rated as 'excellent' or 'good' by 90% of the residents. About four out of five respondents reported they plan on staying in the Village of Oak Park for the next five years." And then: "Of the 25 characteristics for which comparisons were available, 19 were above the national benchmark, five were similar and one was below." And things are even getting better. The overall quality of life registered as either excellent or good at 80 percent in 2000, but it jumped to 90 percent in 2011. The overall picture is clear. The residents of Oak Park are very happy living here.
Maybe the survey is flawed. Maybe it is the vigilant and vocal like me and others who keep government officials in line. Maybe we're like the Titanic passengers oblivious to impending disaster. Or maybe I have to acknowledge that the schools, village, parks and library are well run, and credit must be given to the elected officials and staffs. Maybe I should shut up.
There are significant implications to this survey, especially for critics. These survey results might explain why the VMA (Village Manager Association) has won, and will continue to win, elections and why we have so many successful referenda, no matter the high taxes. Most of us must believe we are getting value for those taxes. Maybe Pangloss in Candide was right: we are living in the best of all possible worlds. Maybe much of the complaining is just the braying of the angry, uninformed and idiosyncratic.
I probably should stop here, but like Colombo, I have just one more question: If Oak Park is such a great place to live, and if village services are given such high ratings by residents, and if good government has gotten even better in the last five years, then why isn't Tom Barwin still the village manager?

That survey had some pretty shaky methodology when you actually read it. 50% of the people who responded were over 55 yrs old & all the data has to be weighted. Over 80% were white. Only 39% of the 1200 surveys got answers back. Take note, too, that even among these happy campers who took the time to fill it out we ranked below average in a few key areas.

Corvallis 104.3 FM • Hood River 91.9 FM • Portland 90.7 FM
There's one thing we can all set our clocks by -- somewhere, there's a conservative who's really bent that there are women out there having unauthorized sex. State legislators in Michigan, Virginia, Alabama, and Indiana have all recently introduced legislation restricting reproductive rights.
Is this really about protecting the fetus, or is it about controlling women, their bodies, and their sexuality? Or both? Abe and Joe examine this question and take listener phone calls.
The "sequester" may not be the dumbest thing in the history of human civiization, but it makes the Top 10. Abe and Joe examine the phony "crisis" foisted upon us by our cowardly representatives in Washington.
Listen in to this great interview with Cory Doctorow and Rabia Yeaman. Cory's newest book Homeland, a sequel to a previous sci-fi best seller, Little Brother is already generating a lot of buzz. Listen in.
Tens of thousands of protesters converged on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Sunday to demand action on climate change. Among their principal targets: the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry oil from the Alberta Tar Sands in Canada to U.S. ports on the Gulf of Mexico.
The project is an environmental disaster waiting to happen. Aquifers, delicate ecosystems, and entire communities would be devastated in the event of a major leak. Small wonder, then, that a Senate majority recently voted in favor of the project, and that the President is at best ambivalent.
Abe and Joe look at the latest battleground between profit and preservation.
Iven Hale hosts this President's Day episode. Please note that an unforseen glitch in the recording clipped the first 30 or so seconds from the beginning. Once it can be recovered it will be re-inserted. All that was lost was the intro-music and some of Iven's opening remarks. On the rest of the show, we hear:
Alan Wieder talks with Marcia Meyers, founder of Rethinking Psychiatry. They discuss the organization and it's mission to educate people about the diversity of ways to deal with emotional disturbances, as well as interrogate the money-making and exploitive motivations behind mainstream psychiatry. They also talk about the up-coming Rethinking Psychiatry Film Festival, which will feature Old Mole Jan Haaken's own documentary, "MindZone: therapists behind the front lines".
Bill Resnick talks with Ben Goldacre about the pharmaceutical industry's influence on science research. He points out that because clinical trials don't have to be published, there's a remarkable bias in favor of pharmeceutical manufacturers. He talks about the deleterious effects this has on doctor's and independent academic researcher's ability to evaluate approaches to treatment.
Dr. Ben Goldacre is the author of international best-seller Bad Science and more lately Bad Pharma: How Drug Companies Mislead Doctors and Harm Patients.
Yolanda Whyte, MD, is a pediatrician from Atlanta, Georgia, who has given several speeches characterizing fluoride as a health risk to children, African-American and Hispanic communities, and people with diabetes and kidney disease.
Here is her lecture at Portland State University in February, 2013.
Tom Becker reads from an article on Truth Dig by Chris Hedges, "The Myth of Human Progress". Hedges predicts massive starvation and misery await us this century if we do not stop climate change, and isolates a certain myth of progress that stymies that action.
So the Pope resigned on Monday -- the first time that's happened in about 600 years -- leaving the world's 1.2 million Catholics without a leader. We can only hope that his successor will support contraception and refuse to protect pedophiles. But we can, with some accuracy, predict that the new Pope will be male.
In the wake of the Holy Father's abdication, Abe and Joe examine the state of modern Christianity, and ask listeners whether patriarchal religion is a help or a hindrance in the 21st Century.

PRIMM, Nev. — Based on the numbers, the Pentagon's first-ever robotic road race looks like a bust: No one won the $1 million offered as a prize. In fact, every one of the 15 autonomous vehicles broke down or withdrew within the first four hours of what was expected to be a 10-hour race. The hardiest robot made it through only 7.4 miles of the 142-mile course.
But most of the competitors, as well as the government agency that paid for the DARPA Grand Challenge, hailed Saturday's event as a success.
"We came this far — we've won," said 17-year-old Chris Seide, a member of the Palos Verdes High School Road Warriors, whose converted SUV crashed into the starting chute's barriers twice during the morning.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has already gotten a fourfold or fivefold return on its $13 million investment in the yearlong process, said Anthony Tether, DARPA's director. He said the innovations demonstrated over the past week would help the U.S. military push toward its goal of having a third of its vehicles operate autonomously by 2015.
Sandstorm, the converted Humvee military vehicle entered by Carnegie Mellon University's Red Team, was the favorite in the race — and it ended up going the farthest, racking up 7.4 miles. The vehicle, which had suffered a rollover during a practice session last week, hit a couple of posts early on Saturday's course, and spun out several miles later as it was climbing a rugged switchback.
The failing might have been the result of a sensor glitch that went uncorrected after the earlier rollover, or damage done during the crash on the course, or merely a turn of bad luck. DARPA's Tether told journalists that if Sandstorm had driven just 6 inches closer to the inboard side of the switchback, it might have kept on going.
Red Whittaker, a Carnegie Mellon robotics professor and the Red Team's leader, took the apparent mechanical failure in stride.
"If you haven't done everything, you haven't done anything," he told MSNBC.com. "It doesn't matter if it's a flipped bit, or a bad sensor, or a lug nut. They're really all the same."

He said Sandstorm's performance showed that the machine had "as much heart as the team."
"Sandstorm will ride again," he declared.
The day promised to be a marathon: At 3:20 a.m. PT Saturday, competitors received 229,000 GPS coordinates defining the course between the makeshift starting-line arena in the Mojave Desert, outside Barstow, Calif., and the finish line at Primm, about 35 miles south of Las Vegas.
Whittaker said the team's computers calculated the first "solution" for the trip within 10 minutes, and had a winning strategy by 4 a.m. Sandstorm also had the advantage of the earliest start, at 6:30 a.m., but by 7:10 a.m. it was all over for the vehicle.
The ones that followed could do no better: Team SciAutonics II's converted dune buggy got hung up on an embankment after 6.7 miles. Team D.A.D.'s robo-Toyota truck paused after 6 miles and couldn't get started again. The Golem Group's pickup was stymied by a steep hill after 5.2 miles. Team ENSCO's buglike all-terrain vehicle zipped down the course's first straightaway — then flipped over.
Some of the others could hardly get out of the starting chute. The only two-wheeled entrant, the Blue Team's Ghostrider motorcycle, was withdrawn from the million-dollar competition — and fell over when it was set loose for a just-for-fun demonstration.
On the course, each robot was shadowed by a pickup truck carrying DARPA judges. The judges used wireless "E-Stop" controls to pause or shut off each machine when it got into trouble.
After all the contestants either withdrew or were disqualified, the teams and their vehicles trickled into Primm for post-race festivities. As night fell, Whittaker and his team showed up with a freshly repaired Sandstorm.
DARPA organizers said they wanted to evaluate some of the technologies demonstrated over the past week, and indicated that the Grand Challenge could well be repeated a year or two from now. Air Force Col. Jose Negron, the Grand Challenge's project manager, marveled at the grass-roots robotics movement that the competition had spawned.
"You had teams collaborating -– 'my technology for your technology,'" he said. "We can't wait for this event to be over so we can talk."

Hello Jesielt!
Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.
To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.
You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.
The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

There are situations when you need to update the python-paramiko
library that is bundled with MySQL Workbench. This may be
because you prefer
using the latest cutting edge versions, are just curious, or you can't wait for a new Workbench version.
To update, first download the latest python-paramiko release from https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/releases. After downloading and extracting the archive, you'll see a paramiko folder inside of the extracted folder. This folder needs to be copied into the appropriate MySQL Workbench folder on the system.

RECIPE: Hard White Frosting
Does anyone have a recipe for a white frosting/icing that I can put on a chocolate cake. I need the icing to harden, so when the cake is cut the dense chocolate, and hardened white frosting create a different texture in your mouth. I tried a buttercream and put it in the fridge, but it wasn't what I was looking for. I also tried using a white chocolate frosting, it way much too sweet. I had this once at a party. It was sooo good. I have tried many times to copy with no success. Thanks for any and all input/recipes/ideas.
Don't know exactly what you are looking for but here is a recipe for Royal Icing........it WILL harden! It isn't really recommended for icing a cake.
Royal Icing
3 Tablespoons Wilton Meringue Powder
1 (16-ounce) package powdered sugar (4 cups)
6 Tablespoons warm water
Assorted food coloring
Beat all ingredients until icing forms peaks (takes about 10 minutes on low speed in mixer)
Tint with desired food colors.
Note: Icing dries very quickly so keep bowl covered while working on the cake.
Thanks marigene: I use royal icing for my gingerbread house and icing some xmas cookies. The recipe I am looking for is for a cake, not too sweet, and will harden, I think in the fridge initially, but should hold the firmness when putting it out to serve.
Don't know exactly what you mean by a "hard" frosting. Royal Icing is REALLY hard (like hard candy)!! Perhaps you mean an icing that crusts over as it stands? I have made this kind myself to ice a "Lord Baltimore Cake". The cookbooks and the net are full of icing/frosting recipes. Look for one that uses egg whites and cream of tartar in the ingredients, like Seven "Minute Frosting" or "White Mountain Frosting".
Do you mean more of a "crust" on the frosting? It won't be hard like royal, but if you add Meringue Powder (wilton) to a buttercream frosting, made with either Crisco, or butter, it will form a light crust on the buttercream.
I sometimes ice Christmas cookies with boiled white icing. (My grandma and my mom always did that and flavored the icing with anise.) Been a while since I used it for cake icing, but I'm pretty sure the very top would be hard and crusty, with a softer and chewier layer underneath. I spread it thin on cookies and it's chewy the first day or two and then it hardens.
Here is the basic Wilton recipe, to this add 3 Tbls of Meringue powder (add with the Powdered sugar) and it will make a crusting frosting.
Buttercream Icing
1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
1/2 cup butter or margarine*
1 teaspoon Clear Vanilla
4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (approx. 1 lb.)
2 tablespoons milk**
Cream butter and shortening with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Keep icing covered with a damp cloth until ready to use. For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks. Rewhip before using.
YIELD: 3 cups
Here is a recipe for an icing that I make that forms a crusty outer layer. It came from Helen Corbitt's Cookbook, who gained popularity while at Neiman Marcus.
Colonnade Icing
4 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. wter
6 T. white Karo
6 egg whites, beaten stiff
1/3 c. powdered sugar
Mix sugar, water and Karo. Cook to soft ball state, 238 degree onyour candy thermometer. Add this mixture slowly to egg whites, what have been beaten still but not dry, beating thoroughly until the icing is like cream. Add 1/3 c. powdered sugar. "This is a soft-on-the-inside, crusty-on-the-outside icing that never fails. Leftovers may be refrigerated, then heated in warm water to lukewarm and used as needed."
Helen Corbitt's Cookbook
I hope this helps.
Thanks to all for the recipes and tips. The recipes sound just like what I am looking for. We are now smack in the middle of our kitchen reno, no stove, no oven, no sink. We are living in the basement with a microwave. I am printing off these recipes and will hopefully try them out at my moms house soon. Thanks again.
