Memory and RecallOld thinking: If your baby doesn't perform a trick (like clapping), he's forgotten how to do it.
New thinking: Babies know more than they reveal.
When I tried to get Eli to show his grandmother the "So Big!" game, he balked. Researcher Carolyn Rovee-Collier, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, tells me I should not have been surprised. Little ones often won't share a new skill with someone they haven't seen recently, especially if they learned it in a different place. "Your baby would probably not show Granny the trick at Granny's house before nine to twelve months of age," she explains. By 12 months, babies are better able to figure out if a stranger is friendly or not, and they're willing to demonstrate new tricks to a stranger in a new place.
What it means for you: Don't be hurt if your daycare provider tells you that your baby has been playing along with "Open, Shut Them," while you get only blank stares when you sing the song at home. It's simply easier for him to recall new information in the same location or situation where he first learned it.
Skill Building
Old thinking: Mastering a skill takes a long time.
New thinking: It can take a really long time.
When researchers at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst observed how 9- and 12-month-olds learned to handle utensils, they found that no matter how many times and how many ways they showed the 9-month-olds how to hold a spoon, the babies continued to alternate between effective and ineffective holds. Only by 15 months did the little eaters start to get it right on a regular basis. (This will come as no surprise to anyone whose dog has learned to lurk around the high chair.)
What it means for you: Be patient. Mistakes are a normal part of your baby's learning process; try to avoid getting frustrated with all the mishaps. After all, how would you feel if your husband smirked every time you asked for help with the DVD player?

You Will Never Ever Control Ferrari For As Long As You Live
When Fiat announced that it was spinning off Ferrari, selling its shares to the public, and laughing all the way to the bank, there was some concern over what would happen, and who would win the battle for control.

Ferrari Isn't Selling Ferrari Anytime Soon
When Fiat announced it was selling shares of Ferrari there was a little bit of concern that Piero Ferrari, son of company founder Enzo Ferrari, might end up dumping the 10 percent of the company he still owns as well.

Dave Duerson
In February 2011, two-time Super Bowl champion Dave Duerson, 50, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest at his home in Florida. Duerson had at least 10 concussions in his NFL career, according to his family, and lost consciousness during some. He left notes for his family asking that his brain be donated to science, and researchers at the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy at Boston University's School of Medicine concluded he had "moderately advanced" brain damage related to blows to the head.

Every time St. Joseph-Ogden's Jake Pence possessed the ball during Friday night's Class 2A Paxton-Buckley-Loda Regional championship game, Paxton-Buckley-Loda's Blue Crew serenaded him with the chant, "MVP."
Andy Place called it "a clash of styles."
When he brought his Villa Grove/Heritage boys' basketball team to last Friday's Class 2A regional championship game at Tuscola, there couldn't be two markedly different teams on the court.
VG/Heritage emphasizes an up-tempo philosophy, with Place substituting five players about every minute.
Jake Coffin knew from the moment he stepped foot on campus.
He was supposed to go to Greenville College.
"I really liked the atmosphere, the small town feel and the program," he said. "I liked what the coaches were teaching."
Greenville College is a liberal arts four-year school in Greenville. Its football team, the Panthers, went 7-3 during the 2014 season.
The home court wasn't an advantage, but the home crowd was a major factor.
Playing in a facility where it last practiced in November and on a court where it played for the first time three days earlier, Unity's Rockets overcame a fourth-quarter deficit last Friday to beat St. Joseph-Ogden 65-56 in the Okaw Valley Conference basketball opener for both schools.
Name a small-school wrestling team throughout the state, and St. Joseph-Ogden has probably wrestled them.
A flurry of meets in the past two weeks following a superb showing at the Unity Invitational on Dec. 20 puts the Spartans in a solid position with the start of the Class 1A postseason a little more than three weeks away.
After a week's break following the Bismarck-Henning holiday tournament, the Villa Grove/Heritage girls' basketball team appeared to be rested and ready to take on the new year.
The Blue Devils hosted the Arcola Purple Riders in Villa Grove in a cross-divisional game between two long-time Little Okaw Valley Conference rivals.
The St. Joseph-Ogden girls' basketball team faced off against a pair of teams last week that could be described as the past, present and future of girls' high school basketball. Thursday, the Spartans travelled to Teutopolis for a non-conference game against the Lady Shoes, who have been a power for decades, and are still a force today.
A plan to help out football scheduling for Okaw Valley Conference members in the future has fallen through.
A plan to change the football playoff system in the state was voted down by school administrators, the IHSA announced last week.
The vote was 395-212, with more than three-fourths of the state schools responding. Last year, 57.3 percent of the IHSA members voted concerning amendment additions.
Eight hours.
That is the length of time St. Joseph-Ogden head coach Dick Duval gave his team to celebrate their Class 3A second round playoff win at Unity.
The Spartans defeated Unity 41-14 last Saturday.
Duval said he was pleased with the way his team played.

After four years, $46 million, and a 6.66 ERA in just 71.2 innings, the Yankees and Japanese pitcher Kei Igawa parted ways this offseason when he became a free agent. Igawa had said he wanted to stay in America, but he must not have found any takers as he is headed back to Japan. Igawa has ...

Why Were the Yankees so Quick to Cut Igawa?
The Yankees have cut nine players this spring, effectively sending them to minor league camp: pitchers Andrew Brackman, D.J. Mitchell, Christian Garcia, Kevin Whelan, Wilkins Aria, Kei Igawa, Wilkin De La Rosa, Jeremy Bleich and catchers Daniel Gil and Kyle Higashioka. The majority of those cuts make sense in my head; the minor league camp needed ...

Yankees Trying to Salvage Kei Igawa
According to Joel Sherman of the NY Post, in an effort to salvage even a little bit of the $46 million they invested in him, the Yankees will use Kei Igawa strictly as a left handed reliever in spring training and could even use him in that spot once the season starts, even if he's ...

Washer/Dryer Recommendation?
Hi all,
I'm new here, so glad that someone pointed me in your direction! My washer/dryer are 15+ years old and acting a bit wonky. I know that they will need replacing sometime soon. I've been doing a lot of research on FL washers/dryers and have read mixed reviews about the dryers not working well on loads of towels/jeans and having the leave the door open on the washer to prevent an odor in the machine.
I have a family of four (two young kids), and I do about 3-4 loads per week. The laundry room is next to the kitchen on the main level of our home, so I do most of the laundry during the day. The reason I'm attracted to FL machines is so that I can put a counter over the top (mounted to the wall, not resting on the machine) for folding purposes, etc.
My hope would be that I wouldn't need to replace these machines for another 15 years!
Thanks (in advance)for your help!
I'm not really sure if any machine made today will last as long as the old ones did, but I am hopeful. I purchased my Bosch Nexxt series FL washer and dryer over 6 years ago, and have been very happy with them.
FL's are very different, require much less soap, and a bit of care. My machine does smell a bit musty if I close it and don't do a load for a week. Otherwise, I just leave it open to air out overnight and it does fine. I've also discovered the type of detergent I use (often too much) makes it smell even more. These machines use much less water, therefore if you use too much soap, it doesn't get rinsed out, possibly causing some of the smell. I never notice a smell when I use Persil soap, or when I use just a tablespoon of liquid soap. My soap does seem to last forever!
As for dryers, mine has never had a problem with drying things completely. There is a sensor behind the lint collector that senses when things are dry. If you use dryer sheets, the product in the sheet clogs the lint screens squares, blocking the sensor and the dryer can stop working well. I was told by my appliance guy to never use dryer sheets in these newer type of machines for that reason. I have only used liquid softener in my washer and I never worry about static, and my dryer has never not worked exceptionally well, even with larger loads. One thing though, the Bosch dryers get super hot, so I changed my flexible duct for a solid one, mainly to decrease the risk of fire with it being so hot. I also clean out beneath my dryer's lint collector with a long skinny brush to remove any lint that may not come out with the screen, and also vacuum that area once a year.
I think it's a small amount of maintenance that has kept my machines doing well. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to ask the Bosch technician a ton of questions when the washer's seal came off my machine 2 weeks after I got it. I learned some valuable information and have had no problems with my machines since following his advice. I'm very happy with my set, and I do hope they last another 10 years or more.
Moisture sensors typically are not behind the lint screen, but rather are in the drum, directly exposed to contact with the tumbling load. Wet/damp items touch the sensor bars to complete a very low-voltage electric circuit between them. The control board reads the "hits" to determine moisture content.

Surf may not be in the equation! This is how I started sailing when I bought a cottage on the shore. It was in a harbor and came with a sunfish. That''s where I learned how to plan with the currents.
Now that I think back on how I fell off of that thing and swallowed salt water, stepped on the dagger board and scrambled back in. Only sissies used life jackets back then.
I made some long trips on LIS with that boat. I never did like the sunfish however but I did like sailing. That boat was 14'' long as I recall. If that laser is lot smaller!

Bistro Blanc's Janny Kim Having Success In The Kitchen And In The Mason-Dixon Challenge
Janny Kim has reached the semi-finals of the Mason-Dixon Challenge, a contest where chefs cook head-to-head similar to Iron Chef or other reality shows.
Kim takes on a Timonium chef on Monday in "Battle South East Asia" at the Inn At The Collonade in Baltimore. You can buy tickets to the event.
We need to get out and give Bistro Blanc another try. In April, the Glenelg restaurant got a resounding review from Richard Gorelick in the Sun. Gorelick loved everything from small plates to fish to dessert. It's another place on my list to re-try.

- The Unmanly Chef said...
We were unimpressed like you were when we went a couple years back. But the food was excellent, the service was just not there. We def. will retry too.
- August 7, 2014 at 7:59 AM
Best restaurant in howard county by far!
- August 7, 2014 at 8:53 PM
I heard the chef was only 25 but handsome so my girlfriends and I made reservations to Bistro Blanc the following day. The service was mediocre but ALL the food was very well composed. Chef Kim is not only easy on the eyes but so are his dishes.
- August 7, 2014 at 9:03 PM
Anyone else heard the rumor that Bistro Blanc may be moving from its current location in Glen Elg?
- September 19, 2014 at 9:51 AM
We have confirmed that Bistro Blanc will be moving from its current location in Glenelg to a location near Route 32 and Cedar Lane. The move won't be happening until 2016 as the construction has yet to begin.

Location-based querying and filtering using Firebase
GeoFire for JavaScript — Realtime location queries with Firebase
GeoFire is an open-source library that allows you to store and query a set of keys based on their geographic location. At its heart, GeoFire simply stores locations with string keys. Its main benefit, however, is the possibility of retrieving only those keys within a given geographic area - all in realtime.
GeoFire uses Firebase for data storage, allowing query results to be updated in realtime as they change. GeoFire selectively loads only the data near certain locations, keeping your applications light and responsive, even with extremely large datasets.
A compatible GeoFire client is also available for Objective-C and Java.
Integrating GeoFire with your data
GeoFire is designed as a lightweight add-on to Firebase. To keep things simple, GeoFire stores data in its own format and its own location within your Firebase. This allows your existing data format and security rules to remain unchanged while still providing you with an easy solution for geo queries.
Example Usage
Assume you are building an app to rate bars and you store all information for a bar, e.g. name,
business hours and price range, at
/bars/<bar-id>. Later, you want to add the possibility for
users to search for bars in their vicinity. This is where GeoFire comes in. You can store the
location for each bar using GeoFire, using the bar IDs as GeoFire keys. GeoFire then allows you to
easily query which bar IDs (the keys) are nearby. To display any additional information about the
bars, you can load the information for each bar returned by the query at
Live Demos
To see GeoFire in action, you can play around with our fully-featured demo. (Drag the purple circle!) This demo maps all of the San Francisco MUNI vehicles within a certain search radius. You can drag around the search radius and see the vehicles update in realtime.
You can find a full list of our demos here and view the code for each of them in the examples directory of this repository. The examples cover some of the common use cases for GeoFire and explain how to protect your data using Security and Firebase Rules.
Upgrading GeoFire
Upgrading from GeoFire 2.x.x to 3.x.x
GeoFire 3.x has the same API as 2.x but uses a different underlying data structure to store its
location data. If you are currently using 2.x and want to upgrade to 3.x, you must run the
GeoFire 3.x migration script
on your Firebase. This Node.js script only needs to be run one time and should take only a few seconds
to minutes depending on the size of your data. To run the script, copy the files in this repo's
/migration/ folder to your machine and run the following commands:
$ npm install # install local npm dependencies$ node migrateToV3.js # display usage instructions
Upgrading from GeoFire 3.0.x to 3.1.x
With the release of GeoFire 3.1.0, this library now uses the new query functionality found in
Firebase 2.0.0. As a
result, you will need to upgrade to Firebase 2.x.x and add a new
.indexOn rule to your Security
and Firebase Rules to get the best performance. You can view the updated rules here
and read our docs for more information about indexing your data.
Downloading GeoFire
In order to use GeoFire in your project, you need to include the following files in your HTML:
<!-- RSVP --> <!-- Firebase --> <!-- GeoFire -->
Use the URL above to download both the minified and non-minified versions of GeoFire from the Firebase CDN. You can also download them from the releases page of this GitHub repository. Firebase and RSVP can be downloaded directly from their respective websites.
You can also install GeoFire via npm or Bower and its dependencies will be downloaded automatically:
$ npm install geofire --save
$ bower install geofire --save
Getting Started with Firebase
GeoFire requires Firebase in order to store location data. You can sign up here for a free account.
API Reference
GeoFire instance is used to read and write geolocation data to your Firebase and to create queries.
new GeoFire(firebaseRef)
Creates and returns a new
GeoFire instance to manage your location data. Data will stored at
the location pointed to by
firebaseRef. Note that this
firebaseRef can point to anywhere in your Firebase.
// Create a Firebase reference where GeoFire will store its informationvar firebaseRef = new Firebase("https://<your-firebase>.firebaseio.com/"); // Create a GeoFire indexvar geoFire = new GeoFire(firebaseRef);
Returns the
Firebase instance used to create this
GeoFire instance.
var firebaseRef = new Firebase("https://<your-firebase>.firebaseio.com/");var geoFire = new GeoFire(firebaseRef); var ref = geoFire.ref(); // ref === firebaseRef
GeoFire.set(keyOrLocations[, location])
Adds the specified key - location pair(s) to this
GeoFire. If the provided
argument is a string, the single
location will be added. The
keyOrLocations argument can also
be an object containing a mapping between keys and locations allowing you to add several locations
to GeoFire in one write. It is much more efficient to add several locations at once than to write
each one individually.
If any of the provided keys already exist in this
GeoFire, they will be overwritten with the new
location values. Locations must have the form
[latitude, longitude].
Returns a promise which is fulfilled when the new location has been synchronized with the Firebase servers.
Keys must be strings and valid Firebase key names.
geoFire.set("some_key", [37.79, -122.41]).then(function() { console.log("Provided key has been added to GeoFire");}, function(error) { console.log("Error: " + error);});
geoFire.set({ "some_key": [37.79, -122.41], "another_key": [36.98, -122.56]}).then(function() { console.log("Provided keys have been added to GeoFire");}, function(error) { console.log("Error: " + error);});
Fetches the location stored for
Returns a promise fulfilled with the
location corresponding to the provided
key does not exist, the returned promise is fulfilled with
geoFire.get("some_key").then(function(location) { if (location === null) { console.log("Provided key is not in GeoFire"); } else { console.log("Provided key has a location of " + location); }}, function(error) { console.log("Error: " + error);});
Removes the provided
key from this
GeoFire. Returns a promise fulfilled when
the removal of
key has been synchronized with the Firebase servers. If the provided
key is not present in this
GeoFire, the promise will still successfully resolve.
This is equivalent to calling
set(key, null) or
set({ <key>: null }).
geoFire.remove("some_key").then(function() { console.log("Provided key has been removed from GeoFire");}, function(error) { console.log("Error: " + error);});
Creates and returns a new
GeoQuery instance with the provided
queryCriteria describe a circular query and must be an object with the following keys:
center- the center of this query, with the form
[latitude, longitude]
radius- the radius, in kilometers, from the center of this query in which to include results
var geoQuery = geoFire.query({ center: [10.38, 2.41], radius: 10.5});
A standing query that tracks a set of keys matching a criteria. A new
GeoQuery is created every time you call
Returns the
location signifying the center of this query.
The returned
location will have the form
[latitude, longitude].
var geoQuery = geoFire.query({ center: [10.38, 2.41], radius: 10.5}); var center = geoQuery.center(); // center === [10.38, 2.41]
Returns the
radius of this query, in kilometers.
var geoQuery = geoFire.query({ center: [10.38, 2.41], radius: 10.5}); var radius = geoQuery.radius(); // radius === 10.5
Updates the criteria for this query.
newQueryCriteria must be an object containing
radius, or both.
var geoQuery = geoFire.query({ center: [10.38, 2.41], radius: 10.5}); var center = geoQuery.center(); // center === [10.38, 2.41]var radius = geoQuery.radius(); // radius === 10.5 geoQuery.updateCriteria({ center: [-50.83, 100.19], radius: 5}); center = geoQuery.center(); // center === [-50.83, 100.19]radius = geoQuery.radius(); // radius === 5 geoQuery.updateCriteria({ radius: 7}); center = geoQuery.center(); // center === [-50.83, 100.19]radius = geoQuery.radius(); // radius === 7
GeoQuery.on(eventType, callback)
Attaches a
callback to this query which will be run when the provided
eventType fires. Valid
eventType values are
key_exited, and
key_moved. The
ready event
callback is passed no parameters. All other
callbacks will be passed three parameters:
- the location's key
- the location's [latitude, longitude] pair
- the distance, in kilometers, from the location to this query's center
ready fires once when this query's initial state has been loaded from the server.
ready event will fire after all other events associated with the loaded data
have been triggered.
ready will fire again once each time
updateQuery() is called, after all new data is loaded and all other new events have been fired.
key_entered fires when a key enters this query. This can happen when a key moves from a location outside of this query to one inside of it or when a key is written to
GeoFire for the first time and it falls within this query.
key_exited fires when a key moves from a location inside of this query to one outside of it. If the key was entirely removed from
GeoFire, both the location and distance passed to the
callback will be
key_moved fires when a key which is already in this query moves to another location inside of it.
Returns a
GeoCallbackRegistration which can be used to cancel the
callback. You can add as many callbacks as you would like for the same
eventType by repeatedly calling
on(). Each one will get called when its corresponding
eventType fires. Each
callback must be cancelled individually.
var onReadyRegistration = geoQuery.on("ready", function() { console.log("GeoQuery has loaded and fired all other events for initial data");}); var onKeyEnteredRegistration = geoQuery.on("key_entered", function(key, location, distance) { console.log(key + " entered query at " + location + " (" + distance + " km from center)");}); var onKeyExitedRegistration = geoQuery.on("key_exited", function(key, location, distance) { console.log(key + " exited query to " + location + " (" + distance + " km from center)");}); var onKeyMovedRegistration = geoQuery.on("key_moved", function(key, location, distance) { console.log(key + " moved within query to " + location + " (" + distance + " km from center)");});
Terminates this query so that it no longer sends location updates. All callbacks attached to this query via
on() will be cancelled. This query can no longer be used in the future.
// This example stops listening for all key events in the query once the// first key leaves the query var onKeyEnteredRegistration = geoQuery.on("key_entered", function(key, location, distance) { console.log(key + " entered query at " + location + " (" + distance + " km from center)");}); var onKeyExitedRegistration = geoQuery.on("key_exited", function(key, location, distance) { console.log(key + " exited query to " + location + " (" + distance + " km from center)"); // Cancel all of the query's callbacks geoQuery.cancel();});
An event registration which is used to cancel a
GeoQuery.on() callback when it is no longer needed. A new
GeoCallbackRegistration is returned every time you call
These are useful when you want to stop firing a callback for a certain
eventType but do not want to cancel all of the query's event callbacks.
Cancels this callback registration so that it no longer fires its callback. This has no effect on any other callback registrations you may have created.
// This example stops listening for new keys entering the query once the// first key leaves the query var onKeyEnteredRegistration = geoQuery.on("key_entered", function(key, location, distance) { console.log(key + " entered query at " + location + " (" + distance + " km from center)");}); var onKeyExitedRegistration = geoQuery.on("key_exited", function(key, location, distance) { console.log(key + " exited query to " + location + " (" + distance + " km from center)"); // Cancel the "key_entered" callback onKeyEnteredRegistration.cancel();});
Helper Methods
GeoFire.distance(location1, location2)
Static helper method which returns the distance, in kilometers, between
location1 and
location1 and
location1 must have the form
[latitude, longitude].
var location1 = [10.3, -55.3];var location2 = [-78.3, 105.6]; var distance = GeoFire.distance(location1, location2); // distance === 12378.536597423461
GeoFire uses promises when writing and retrieving data. Promises represent the result of a potentially long-running operation and allow code to run asynchronously. Upon completion of the operation, the promise will be "resolved" / "fulfilled" with the operation's result. This result will be passed to the function defined in the promise's
then() method.
GeoFire uses the lightweight RSVP.js library to provide an implementation of JavaScript promises. If you are unfamiliar with promises, please refer to the RSVP.js documentation. Here is a quick example of how to consume a promise:
promise.then(function(result) { console.log("Promise was successfully resolved with the following value: " + result);}, function(error) { console.log("Promise was rejected with the following error: " + error);})
If you'd like to contribute to GeoFire, you'll need to run the following commands to get your environment set up:
$ git clone https://github.com/firebase/geofire-js.git$ cd geofire-js # go to the geofire directory$ npm install -g gulp # globally install gulp task runner$ npm install -g bower # globally install Bower package manager$ npm install # install local npm build / test dependencies$ bower install # install local JavaScript dependencies$ gulp watch # watch for source file changes
gulp watch will watch for changes in the
/src/ directory and lint, concatenate, and minify the source files when a change occurs. The output files -
geofire.js and
geofire.min.js - are written to the
/dist/ directory.
You can run the test suite by navigating to
file:///path/to/geofire-js/tests/index.html or via the command line using
gulp test.

Latest FF ain't too bad, for older devices. Esp the beta version. Doesn't FC as often as it used to.
Tried Dolphin, seems put things all over the place. Slide this, slide the other.
Opera. Yes, I don't like the zillions of permissions it wants either. Granted some are for html5 and you can turn em off but still it's a mighty long list.
I'm currently fiddling with 'Boat'. Seems to have fewer permissions than most and it's reasonably small and fast. I did like Ninjinksy put it seems to have gone by the wayside. It hardly wanted to know anything about you.
they all seem to 'require' access to your whole device history these days though.

The New York Women's Equality Act didn't pass in the last legislative session largely because Senate Republicans opposed language that would strengthen abortion rights in the state. But in addition to abortion rights, the act is meant to ensure equal pay provisions, standards around sexual harassment, and protections for survivors of domestic violence. According to the National Partnership for Women and Families, black women in N.Y. earn 79 cents and Latina women in N.Y. earn 64 cents to every dollar earned by white men.
The New York Women's Equality Coalition, an advocacy group focused on changing public policy related to women's issues, recently launched a new campaign to start ramping up efforts, including a video depicting a mock game show to decide whether employers' discriminatory acts are actually illegal or—as they put it—sleazy. Tracey Brooks, a coalition representative, recently spoke with WNYC about their new efforts. Listen to the interview, and watch their humorous, albeit frustrating, video.

So this is a lengthy hour-long conversation, but a worthwhile one. Last Spring, New York City's Strand Bookstore hosted Hilton Als and Junot Díaz to talk about writing, love and masculinity, among other things. Als is a theater critic for the New Yorker whose latest collection of essays called "White Girls" hits shelves today. Díaz's praise for Als' latest collection is featured prominently on the new book's cover.
Als begins the conversation by asking Díaz about his use of the word "pato" in his work, a derogatory Spanish slang word for "gay." Diaz responds by saying, in part: "When I think about the politicial unconsciousness of masculinity, it's queerness."
They're not citizens but they were willing to put their lives on the line for the U.S. And an estimated 3,000 U.S. veterans are either in deportation proceedings or being detained.
Jorge Rivas at Fusion has the story:
Hector Barajas joined the 82nd Airborne in 1995, he served as a paratrooper, jumping out of planes dozens of times and taking on various missions on behalf of his country. But in 2004, after being honorably discharged, the United States put him on a flight that led to his biggest battle: being deported to Mexico, a country he left before his fourth birthday.
Barajas, who had a green card, returned to California after his discharge. A month later he began having trouble with the law. He pled guilty to firing a weapon at a car that his friend believed was following them. No one was wounded and Barajas maintains he didn't pull the trigger.
Had Barajas been a U.S. citizen, he would have served three years in a state prison and that would have been the end of it. But because he wasn't, he was deported to Mexico a year later. He was doubly punished[.]
And Barajas is not alone. Read about the issue at Fusion.
It's no secret that megastar rapper Drake has had a difficult relationship with his father, Dennis Graham. While Drake grew up with his white Jewish mother in Canada, he only made occassional visits to visit his Graham, who's black, in Memphis and credits the city's rich musical legacy with leaving a big imprint on his own work. In his recent interview with Jian Ghomeshi for Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Drake talked about what it was like being in the Memphis scene and how it shaped him as an artist.
It was pivotal in shaping the man I am today. Going to Memphis gave me a glimpse into what rap really felt like. I got to go and be around Yo Gotti in the very early stages and it was only because my cousin's baby father used to manage him. He used to bring me around a crazy lifestyle that I knew nothing about being from here. It was just surreal. It seemed so big. The clubs seemed so glamorous. The cars just seemed so expensive. These guys were drinking Louis XIII. My mind was blown. I was so young and I got to see not only rap culture, but Southern rap culture which is very influential. It opened up not only my mind but my ears.
It's safe to say that the rapper's father is very much a part of his life these days after starring in the video for his son's latest hit song "Worst Behavior."

What do "Saved by the Bell," "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and "The Cosby Show" have to teach us about models of school discipline in today's schools? That so much of what passes for school discipline these days is actually an extremely harsh and unnecessarily punitive introduction to the criminal justice system.
A new video from the Advancement Project highlights exactly the sorts of student infractions—talking out of turn or failing to keep to the dress code—which used to be dealt with with a stern talking-to or at worst, detention but which these days can mean suspension, expulsion or even arrest for far too many students. As the video points out, even one out-of-school suspension doubles a student's chances of dropping out of school.
But a key point the video doesn't mention is that harsh zero-tolerance policies disproportionately target black and Latino youth. Such harmful school discipline wouldn't be excusable if it were evenly applied across all races, but it also happens to be deeply racially skewed.

Melissa Harry-Perry and bell hooks sat down for a mind-blowing conversation about black feminism at the New School last Friday. But while the two writers spent more than an hour talking about everything from "12 Years a Slave" to cable Renisha McBride, the most powerful moment came during the Q&A. Tanya Fields, a single black mother asked a question that read, in part, "How do you wake up every morning and… I consider myself a black feminist but some days, it's just so hard to get out of the bed and face other black people."
Harris-Perry then went over and hugged Fields in a strikingly intiminate moment that found both women in tears. It's a moment that my colleague Stacia L. Brown dissected over at her blog Beyond Baby Mamas before digging up more of Tanya Fields' work as a community organizer. (The exchange occurs about an hour and six seconds into the recorded talk.)
In addition to being a single mother who's raising four children, Fields is also a powerhouse community organizer in the Bronx who was the keynote speaker at CUNY's School of Professional Studies' 2012 commencement. Here she is talking about the specific challenges facing single moms who juggle school and parenting.
The NAACP recently came out in support of H.R. 1523 — the Respect States Marijuana Laws Act, an uncommonly bipartisan bill currently being considered by Congress that would further expand protections for states hoping to legalize the drug. This isn't the first time the NAACP has spoken out in favor of decriminalizing marijuana, who frequently refers to it as a civil rights issue. There are wide disparities in the numbers of people of color arrested for marijuana related offenses with young black and Latino men make up the majority of arrests nationwide, although young white men and women consume marijuana at higher rates.
Tom Angell, Chairman of Marijuana Majority, told the Huffington Post the NAACP's support is significant.
"Having the NAACP's support for a states' rights approach to marijuana reform is going to have a huge impact and will provide comfort and cover to politicians and prominent people who want to see prohibition end but who are a little skittish about states getting too far ahead of the feds on this issue."
The announcement comes in the 43rd year of the War on Drugs, during which President Obama has continued to crack down on illegal drugs. Check out The Nation's most recent feature on "Obama's War on Drugs."
Tonight, movie-goers in New York City can check out the premier of the much-anticipated film "Por Amor En El Caserio" at John Jay College. Directed by Luis Enrique Rodriguez and produced by Antonio Morales, the film is a retelling of "Romeo and Juliet" set in San Juan's Luis Llorens Torres housing projects. An adaptation of Rodriguez's popular play by the the same name, the film explores themes of love, drugs and violence, focusing on the blossoming romance between characters Cristal and Angelo. Originally released in Puerto Rico in September, the film sold out three weeks in a row, and has received popular acclaim for its representations of real-life situations among low-income public housing communities on the island.
Malcolm X diligently kept a diary during the last year of his life as he broke away from the Nation of Islam and traveled throughout Africa and the Middle East. Now, decades after his death, those intimate thoughts will be made public in a book that's slated for release this Thursday, November 14, 2013.
The Diary of Malcolm X will be published by Chicago-based Third World Press and will be co-edited by one of the slain activist's daughters, Ilyasah Shabazz.
"It's really beautiful that we get to see Malcolm in his own voice — without scholars, historians, or observers saying what he was thinking or what he was doing or what he meant," Shabazz says in a video released by the publisher.
But other surviving Shabazz family members are apparently not on board with the project and have filed a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court to stop the book's publication.
The diaries are part of a trove of papers that were loaned to the New York Public Library by Malcolm X's daughters in 2003.

Hip-hop is a culture that prides itself on youthful energy, so it's hard to imagine that some of its most popular and influential all-time albums turn 20 years old this year. Here's a quick list, and let us know in the comments if there's one that you'd like to add.
Released November 9, 1993, this album eventually went platinum.

Silicon Valley, and the U.S. tech sector in general, is notoriously white and male. The lack of diversity and equity in the tech sector is starting to be addressed in small ways by a (slowly) growing number of entrepreneurs and developers of color, but the industry has a long way to go.
Among the movers and shakers trying to change the monochromatic boys club of Silicon Valley, and New York's burgeoning Silicon Alley, is 29-year-old Tristan Walker. He's best known for managing business development for Four Square, but has recently moved on to pursue other ventures.
In an interview on NPR's All Things Considered, Walker talks about growing up in public housing in Queens, N.Y., the lack of role models in the industry, and his first experiences grappling with white privilege in academia and the tech sector.
"A lot of my classmates had a confidence that I'd never seen before," he says. "It was almost as if the world just worked for them in a way that they expected it to."
Now, Walker is trying increase diversity in Silicon Valley and beyond with a new organization called Code 2040—named for the anticipated year when minorities will become the majority in the U.S.—which is an internship program for black and Latino students interested in tech. Listen to his full interview on NPR's Code Switch.
At Coachella Valley High School in Southern California, "Arabs" aren't really part of the student demographics. They're just the mascot.
From Deadspin:
The sports teams at Coachella Valley High School are the Arabs. The students aren't allactually Arabs; it's just their name. This is not an all-Arab school. The cheerleaders have "ARABS" across the front of their uniforms. The mascot is a hook-nosed, sinister-looking Arab wearing a keffiyeh and an outfit probably rejected by Aladdin. A belly dancer performs at halftime. The kids chant, "Let's go Arabs, let's go!" (At least they're not pronouncing it "Ay-rabs.") It is fucking surreal.
Now the Arab-Amercan Anti-Discrimination Committee is getting involved. The group sent a letter (.PDF) to the school calling on it to change its name, writing that the name is "a harmful form of ethnic stereotyping which should be eliminated."
District superintendent Darryl Adams says he is taking the complaint seriously. "We're very sensitive to that and how we're going to work to make sure, maybe sometimes you should have some consultations when we're working with other groups and cultures," he told KESQ.
Dozens of Walmart workers and activists were arrested last night protesting the company's labor practices and retaliatory behavior in Los Angeles' Chinatown last night in what organizers are calling the largest act of civil disobedience in Walmart history.
Workers, clergy and activists sat down in the middle of Cesar Chavez Avenue in a circle outside the company's new Chinatown store last night. Some 825,000 Walmart workers make less than $25,000 a year, workers say. Richard Reynoso is one of them, despite having a rare-for-Walmart full-time position as an overnight stocker.
"I got arrested today becuase I believe that taking this step will encourage others to be brave and step forward and stand up to the world's largest retailer," Reynoso said in a statement. "Walmart can't silence me."
The civil disobedience followed a protest outside a Walmart store in the working class Los Angeles suburb of Paramount, where 100 people gathered. The actions are supported by OUR Walmart, a union-backed workers group which organized the first strike in Walmart history last year.
Tyson Beckford posed for a series of gorgeous (and pretty raunchy) photos with transgender model Ines Rau. The shoot was for OOB Magazine's "Tropical Surrealism" spread and was photographed by Rodolpho Martinez. You can see the rest of the NSFW photos here.
But who exactly is Ines Rau, the gorgeous transgender model who's posing with Beckford? She's a 24-year-old New York City-based French model of North African descent who was inspired to come out by Carolina "Tula" Cossey, an English model who's appeared in a James Bond film and posed for "Playboy." In an interview with Models of the Minute Rau said, "After reading [Tolu's] book [I Am Woman] at least two times I realized how important it is to assume who you are with no fears."
When asked what she would say to children who are struggling with their gender identities, Rau said:
Having a sex change is not the answer to insecurities or other issues, a lot of transgender do not understand that it has to be done with reflection: because of a real deep desire to be a woman from a younger age. It's fabulous the level of happiness- it's just absolutely impossible to describe. I'm the happiest girl in the world, just being what I wanted to be. You have to love yourself enough to go for it without the fear of being judged or rejected. That's my advice for them.
Comedian Hari Kondabolu caught up with Captain Sikh America on the streets of New York City for FX's "Totally Biased." The man behind the costume is Vishavjit Singh, an editorial cartoonist behind Sikhtoons, who came up with the idea in the aftermath of the 2012 Sikh temple shootings in Wisconsin.
Brooklyn native Mentoria Hutchinson has been directing traffic since 1980. The 61-year-old started dancing in the streets after she was injured on the job as a way to help her feel safe, and keep her happy. Watch her adorable video, part of the New York Times Character Study Column.
America's publicly funded broadcast network is in trouble. In late October Latino journalist Ray Suarez left the network's flagship news program "NewsHour" after serving as one of its senior correspondents for more than a decade. The longtime journalist later gave Fox News Latino the reasons for his departure.
"I felt like I didn't have much of a future with the broadcast," Suarez told Fox. "(They) didn't have much of a plan for me."
The National Hispanic Media Coalition has issued an open letter on what it calls the network's "historic under-inclusion of Latinos."
"PBS' historic under-inclusion of Latinos is reflected not only in its employment practices, with Latinos being overlooked for new projects and initiatives, but also the underrepresentation of Latinos in its programming, and an alarming lack of transparency about the situation," NHMC's letter reads.
Among the evidence presented by the advocacy organization is not only what it sees as the network's lack of diversity in senior leadership positions, but its lukewarm efforts to address the problem. The group says that a 2005 Ford Foundation grant to promote new diversity initiatives have led to underwhelming results.

July 4, 2008
Despite corrupt or foolish politicians, the $4.15 gasoline, the rise in grocery prices and too many young people spent in a war that has hurt our hearts and souls, we still live in the best country in the world. We can vote out the politicians, waste less gas, eat less and exercise more. We can dig out the corruption and greed that costs us pride, even more than money. We can find a way to bring our soldiers home with honor and dignity. We can take care of those who have been broken in service to us and be strong for those left behind by the ones who paid the highest price. They need us and we can do that.
We can't expect everyone to love our country, but we can love what is good about our country: our people and the freedoms that we cannot and will not lose to enemies who offer nothing in return. I hope you had a marvelous 4th of July, and that you spared a thought or two about all that it means beyond all the noise and bustle of the holiday. Sandy
Wow, Sandy, you really have a way with words, girl! Beautifully said!
All that is good about our country was foremost in my mind yesterday. Then I turned on the radio and heard Ray Charles belting out the most incredible (in my opinion) rendition of "America the Beautiful," and my heart swelled enough to make my eyes leak. Amen, Mr. Charles.
I didn't get a chance to post this on Independance Day but it really doesn't matter what day you watch it. My thoughts are always with our soldiers and their families, and my prayers for those who didn't come home.
Here is a link that might be useful: God bless our soldiers
