LAUREL RUN - One moment, Darryl Danko was helping workers break down the finish area. The next, he was carrying equipment.
It seemed the course's career victory leader was everywhere on opening day of the Giants Despair Hill Club except where fans expected him to be.
He never even attempted to take a car up the hill.
"I took a year off to try and reorganize," Danko said.
Without the seven-time Giants Despair champion in the field, Danko's old rival George Bowland of North Carolina ran away with the lead, gunning his 2002 BBR Shark up the steep, windy one-mile stertch of Northampton Street in 41.278 seconds.
"I had to give the old man a chance," Danko cracked. "Me and him are good friends. Over the years, we've gotten to know each other pretty well. He pushes me to drive a lot harder than I normally would."
Bowland's time was a far cry from Danko's all-time course record of 38.36 seconds, but ranks two full seconds faster than the time of 43.278 runnerup John Burke of Rumson, N.J. put up while running in a 1997 Reynard Champ Car. Jenkintown resident John Hartnett has the third-best time of 43.611 heading into today's final action of the weekend.
Instead of trying to top them all, Danko took a back seat this time.
"We've been building a new car," Danko said. "And we just haven't gotten the motor block yet.
The Laurel Run resident said he expected to have the new car built in time to run on his home course this weekend, but the engine got held up in Colorado.
"Some things are out of your control," Danko shrugged.
So he threw all his energy this weekend into his other role with the event, serving as its co-chairman along with his father, Jack Danko Sr.
"I'm just kind of disappointed he didn't run," the elder Danko said of Darryl. "That was his choice. He felt like his big car wasn't ready."
Jack Danko said Darryl Danko's second racecar - the Lola Indycar - could have been an option for this weekend's Hill Climb, but "We've had problems with it - electrical problems."
And that left Darryl Danko in the backround of a race he's more accustomed to leading.
"I didn't think it would bother me as much as it does," Darrly Danko said. "It's nice to have a little break now and then, but I miss it. Obvioulsy, this event is just so strefful and time-consuming, it's just hard to get in and clear my mind when I'm driving.
"But this little break really revitalized my desire to break this record."
In his absence, his father and brother, Jack Danko Jr., did their best to uphold the family name at Giants Despair.
Driving his colorful blue and white Radical, Jack Danko Sr. hit the gas and roared to the lead in the two-car C Sports Racer division. He posted a top time of 44.372, edging the 44.844 accomplished by Bryan Fritzler of Newark, Del.
"I'm having a blast," said Danko Sr., also the Giants Despair organizer as well as its co-chairman. "I love this.
"It ranks right up with Christmas."
Jack Danko Jr. also has a chance to take home a present, as his time of 45.793 in a Van Dieman sits just behind leader Bill Feist's 44.637 on the leaderboard of the Formula Continental division.
"It feels good," Jack Jr. said. "I'm picking up time every run. I'm only off by a couple-hundredths of a second."
Hundreds of fans lined the sides of the roadway to watch a field of 80 entrants compete in 39 different classifications - a dramatic increase in driver's from last year's field of 59. The second and final day of action begins at 9 a.m. today.
"A lot of drivers, they like the history of the Giant," Jack Danko Sr. said.

Correction: Kristian Alfonso starred in a soft porn.
But fans will get a chance to see this Days of Our Lives actress featured in a very different role next month.
SoapNet has purchased the rights to Blindfold: Acts of Obsession and will be showing it Sunday night, December 16. Check out the synopsis of this sexy thriller:
Alfonso appears alongside Judd Nelson, Shannon Doherty and Michael Wood, playing a cop who is investigating a serial killer that uses handcuffs and blindfolds as his tools of the trade. Yes, it's that sort of movie.
Kristian Alfonso stars here on Days of Our Lives. Her past roles have involved far less clothing, however.

Title: Fire and Foraging Habitat Quality for Endangered Bats in Kentucky's Mammoth Cave National Park
Project Proposal Abstract: Prescribed fires in the mixed-oak forests of the eastern US are hypothesized to have positive effects on foraging and roosting habitat that may outweigh the risks to forest bats from smoke and heat exposures during fires. Published data on fire and bat foraging habitat are few for this ecosystem, however, particularly for the critical periods before and after hibernation. Our project will focus on testing hypotheses about the relationships between fires effects on insect prey availability and canopy structure and their relationship to bats selection of foraging areas during the pre- and post-hibernation periods at Mammoth Cave National Park (MCNP) in Kentucky. Habitat quality pre- and post-hibernation is critical because bats must go into hibernation with sufficient fat reserves and they often leave hibernation in poor condition. Bat condition may become even more important with the arrival of the White-nose Syndrome (WNS) epidemic. Feeding patterns will be verified with a diet study based on DNA barcoding techniques. Insect prey availability will be quantified with passive sampling techniques and bat activity will be characterized with echolocation (Anabat) sampling. Diet choice work will focus on the federally listed Indiana and gray bats, but our insect prey availability and foraging surveys will encompass all species using forests in which prescribed fires are used. MCNP provides a range of bat foraging habitat conditions created by their prescribed fire program including a time-since fire series, re-burns, and burns in ice-storm-disturbed forest. In addition to the above work, in response to the expected arrival of WNS at MCNP, we will monitor general population trends of bats at caves, trends in herbivorous insect abundances, and trends in levels of forest herbivory in an effort to assess any ecosystem service bats may provide through top-down control of insect populations. Our study will help MCNP assess the effects of their prescribed fires on forest bats and will provide information relevant for fire management on other land ownerships in the region. The information from our project will provide a stronger scientific basis for fire management planning at MCNP and for consultation between MCNP and the US Fish and Wildlife Service and others on endangered species management.

Since the glaciers receded, fire has been the most dominant recurring event affecting natural processes in the boreal forest. In this region, the effects of fires on aquatic systems are not well understood, but are likely to be important. Intensive fire suppression and forest harvesting are changing historical disturbance regimes.
In the last 30 years, commercial forestry has increased dramatically in the WBF. Governments have encouraged development by granting cutting rights to vast areas of forest. Forest Management Agreements and other licenses provide exclusive access to Crown Lands for large forestry companies, typically for tenures of 10 to 20 years in Canada, and up to 50 years in Alaska. Recent technological improvements in harvesting methods, road building, and the use of aspen for pulp production have enabled timber harvest to increase dramatically. The vast majority of the commercially valuable timberland in the central WBF has been allocated and scheduled for harvest over the next 40 years.
Extraction of petroleum resources is the primary threat to boreal habitats where little marketable timber is present. The fourth largest oil field in Canada is located at the heart of the taiga plain at Norman Wells, NT. Alberta, however, possesses the bulk of the region's oil and gas fields. There are over 88,000 well sites located in Alberta's portion of the boreal forest alone, and >885 km2 have been cleared for those well sites. Between 1986 and 1995, approximately 500,000 km of seismic lines were approved to be cleared in Alberta, and by 1998, more hectares of land were cleared each year for oil and gas pipelines, seismic lines, roads and well sites than were cleared by forest logging. Although most of this activity is in the south central portion of the WBF, these combined impacts illustrate the level of fragmentation that can occur in more remote regions if they contain extractable minerals. In addition to land clearing, petroleum production and oil sands mining promote a high degree of habitat fragmentation, hydrologic interruption, and air and water pollution.

Caritas Social Action Network, an official arm of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, has accused the Chancellor of "failing the poorest" in his Budget.
"With fresh figures showing a return to economic growth over last year, George Osborne has a spring in his step. Growth is back, jobs are being created; his plan is vindicated in time for today's budget. There's work still to do, but he's building a 'resilient economy' he believes.
Budget measures announced by UK chancellor of the exchequer George Osborne include a cap on the overall amount spent on a range of social security measures. People who become severely ill or injured, or face other unexpected needs, may find their already low standard of living forced down, regardless of how much they have contributed to society.
Lower income families continue to shoulder burden of austerity under current UK government policy, says a leading anti-poverty agency.
Based on analysis of the UK government's own Households below average income (HBAI) survey published on 28 January 2014 (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/households-below-average-incom...), the Children's Society estimates that 3.5 million children in Britain and Northern Ireland are living in poverty today.
Chancellor Osborne's welfare cap puts struggling families at risk, says Matthew Reed, Chief Executive of The Children's Society.
The Annual Investment Allowance is the amount a business can spend on capital equipment like computers without having to learn a whole set of tax rules about writing down allowances.
The contested details of the latest proposals from the UK Chancellor are only partly illustrative of the momentous economic challenge that lies behind and beyond the Budget, says Simon Barrow. Right now the entire system based at Westminster is failing adequately to comprehend and address, let alone tackle, the really big issues in which economics is a major factor.
UK Export Finance has a track record of funding dodgy deals which undermine human rights and leave a legacy of unjust debts, says Jubilee Debt Campaign in response to Budget proposals.
Three major British Churches have criticised government plans to scrap the alcohol duty escalator as announced in the Chancellor's Budget speech today.

The New York Yankees will be on the road for Game 1 of their Division Series against the Los Angeles Angels. And the Bronx Bombers are crying foul about it, directing their ire against former Yankees manager Buck Showalter.
Showalter removed starters Michael Young, Mark Teixeira and Hank Blalock for pinch-runners in the third inning against the Angels on Sunday. The Texas Rangers led 4-1 after three innings, but the Angels rallied for a 7-4 victory and earned home-field advantage for the ...

Fiscal Policy for the CrisisAntonio SpilimbergoInternational Monetary Fund (IMF) - Research Department; Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR); University of Michigan at Ann Arbor - The William Davidson Institute Steven SymanskyInternational Monetary Fund (IMF) - Fiscal Affairs Department Olivier J. BlanchardInternational Monetary Fund (IMF); National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Carlo CottarelliInternational Monetary Fund (IMF) February 7, 2009 Abstract: The current crisis calls for two main sets of policy measures. First, measures to repair the financial system. Second, measures to increase demand and restore confidence. While some of these measures overlap, the focus of this note is on the second set of policies, and more specifically, given the limited room for monetary policy, on fiscal policy. The optimal fiscal package should be timely, large, lasting, diversified, contingent, collective, and sustainable: timely, because the need for action is immediate; large, because the current and expected decrease in private demand is exceptionally large; lasting because the downturn will last for some time; diversified because of the unusual degree of uncertainty associated with any single measure; contingent, because the need to reduce the perceived probability of another "Great Depression" requires a commitment to do more, if needed; collective, since each country that has fiscal space should contribute; and sustainable, so as not to lead to a debt explosion and adverse reactions of financial markets. Looking at the content of the fiscal package, in the current circumstances, spending increases, and targeted tax cuts and transfers, are likely to have the highest multipliers. General tax cuts or subsidies, either for consumers or for firms, are likely to have lower multipliers.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is the best Samsung tablet yet. If you can get over its somewhat high price, it's a sound Android tablet investment.
The improved S Pen goes a long way to making this high-end tablet worth the extra cost, but if you're not sold on the stylus, it's easy to find a better deal.
A better tablet now than it was last year, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 from Verizon Wireless is unfortunately still too expensive for most.
Though its plastic skin doesn't do its high price justice, Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 makes the most compelling case yet for a supersize phone.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will thrill anyone who loves a fast phone with a large screen, but it's best for compulsive scribblers willing to pay a lot for its winning stylus.
The prepaid carrier brings Android 4.4 KitKat and LTE speeds to the long-running Prevail family.
Samsung's swooshing Galaxy Note Edge is a triumph of novel design, but its high price tag and minimal extra usability make for a niche appeal.
The AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a quality tablet, but the Nexus 7 offers contract-free 4G LTE support with better performance at a much better price.
Samsung delivers a powerful, boundary-pushing device that gets a lot right. Yet its complicated features and high price raise questions about its purpose.
Nvidia's new Tegra Note reference design adds an i500 modem to deliver LTE speeds.

The Chennai Corporation will construct concrete roads inside the Perungudi and Kodungaiyur dumping yards at a cost of Rs. 10.59 crore.
The corporation council is likely to pass a resolution on the construction of these roads this month.
The roads will facilitate dumping of garbage away from residential neighbhourhoods near the dumping yards. Residents of the localities have staged a number of protests seeking to draw attention to the fires and pollution in the dumping yards. The Perungudi facility will have 2.5 km of new concrete roads leading to three different sectors for systematic dumping of waste.
"We have started source segregation and this new approach will solve existing problems to a certain extent," said an official.
The waste will not be dumped in a haphazard manner in Kodungaiyur too. Over 2.3 km of concrete roads in Kodungaiyur will be constructed.
The corporation will also commence inter-carting mounds of waste now located near the entrance to the Perungudi dumping yard. New waste will then be dumped only in designated areas.
The unplanned dumping of waste in Perungudi and Kodungaiyur dumping yards has frequently caused problems, including fires and pollution.
The civic body has already constructed temporary roads so that garbage can be dumped in the interior of the yards. The new dumping area in Kodungaiyur will be at least 1.5 km away from major residential localities.

Gwinnett Daily Post
Over the past few years the power has shifted in Gwinnett County. For many years it was the southern part of the county in Region 8 with teams like Brookwood and Parkview dominating.
But over the last few years its been the northern part of the county and Region 7 with Norcross, Peachtree Ridge and North Gwinnett having the most success. With the two regions meeting in the first round of the playoffs last Friday, it was one last look to see who had the better region. Region 7-AAAAA won the postseason battle by winning three of the four games. Peachtree Ridge beat Dacula, North Gwinnett defeated Brookwood and Norcross held off Parkview. Only Region 8's Grayson, the No. 1 seed, was able to get a win, beating Collins Hill. Region 7 was 10-4 against Region 8 this season, which also includes teams from North Fulton and Forsyth County. Since 2006, Region 7 is 24-13 against Region 8. So it's obvious the power has shifted when you consider Peachtree Ridge winning the state title in 2006 and North Gwinnett reaching the championship game last season. Grayson is the only team left from Region 8 and if the Rams can make a deep playoff run, that would help bring some bragging rights back to the region. Speaking of deep playoff runs, I think all six Gwinnett County teams left in the playoffs have a great shot of reaching the quarterfinals. None of Gwinnett's opponents strike me as powerhouses and when you consider the great football that is played each week in the county, I think we could have six teams in the quarterfinals next week. That would be a first for Gwinnett County. Gwinnett put five teams in the quarterfinals in 2002, 2005 and 2006, but never six. Also, in 2005 Gwinnett had four teams in the Class AAAAA quarterfinals. Somehow Gwinnett got really lucky and all six games will be played in the comfy confines of the county. The first two rounds of the playoffs the higher seeded team hosts the game. In the quarterfinals, with No. 1 seeds usually meeting in that round, a coin flip will determine home field if both school's meet the GHSA's stadium capacity requirements. You can check out the bracket's here at gasports.com Here's a quick look at this Friday's second round matchups. Let me know how you think the games will shape out. East Paulding (9-2) at Grayson (11-0) Prior to head coach John Reid taking over the program in 2006, East Paulding hadn't had much success. The Raiders missed the playoffs the first 15 years of the program. Even current Buford head coach Jess Simpson couldn't win there, posting a 0-10 record in 1997. In Reid's first season he took East Paulding to the state semifinals in Class AAAA and the quarterfinals last year. East Paulding defeated Milton 43-41 in triple overtime last week in the first round, while Grayson easily defeated Collins Hill 31-7. Harrison (9-2) at Peachtree Ridge (9-2) Peachtree Ridge's only two losses were at the beginning of the season to non-region opponents. The Lions have a chance to avenge one of those losses on Friday and possibly the second one later in the playoffs. Harrison beat Peachtree Ridge 13-3 in the season opener and the two will meet again Friday in the second round. The Lions' only other loss was to Lowndes, who they could see again in semifinals. Harrison defeated Kell last week 21-18 and Peachtree Ridge topped Dacula 17-0 to setup the rematch. Lassiter (9-2) at North Gwinnett (9-2) In one of the many upsets last week, Lassiter knocked off No. 1 seed Etowah 23-20 in overtime to advance to the second round. The Trojans rallied from a 14-point deficit to win their first playoff game. North Gwinnett advanced with its second win over Brookwood this season and the fifth in three years. Prior to taking over the North Gwinnett program, Bob Sphire coached at Lexington Catholic in Kentucky. His defensive coordinator for nine years was Jeff Carlberg, who is now the defensive coordinator at Lassiter. Woodstock (7-4) at Norcross (8-3) Another shocker from Friday was Woodstock easily defeating Walton 28-7 to win its first playoff game. Walton, a No. 1 seed, reached the state semifinals a year ago. Norcross reached the second round with a 20-17 win over Parkview. The Blue Devils had two 100-yard rushers in running back D.J. Adams (170 yards) and quarterback Charles King (100). The defense held Parkview running back Brandon Jacobs to 49 yards. North Oconee (9-2) at Buford (11-0) Buford rolled to another first round playoff win by beating Heard County 56-21. The defending Class AA state champions have won their first round playoff games by an average of 35 points over the last 10 years. The Wolves should put up big points again vs. a young North Oconee program. The fifth-year school is in the playoffs for the first time and got the school's first playoff win a 28-21 victory over Rockmart last Friday. Holy Innocents' (8-3) at Wesleyan (9-2) If you like games with a lot of points this isn't for you. If you like two defenses going at it with a low scoring game, then that's probably what you will get based on the last two meetings. Holy Innocents' and Wesleyan will play for the fourth time in three years. The last two meetings the teams combined for 16 total points with the Golden Bears wining both contests. Holy Innocents' won 3-0 last year and 7-6 earlier in the season. The Golden Bears are coming off a 13-0 win over Bowdon in the first round last week, while Wesleyan took care of Warren County 42-19.More like this story

Now there's been a network problem and I'm currently unable to connect via ssh (not even ping works). Still, calculations started by someone else might be running.
For diagnosis, I plugged a monitor to vga, but this monitor gets no signal and stays black.
How can I activate the monitor?
I don't need a GUI, seeing bash would already be OK.

It's an awkward, even taboo, topic for some, but not for the Edwards family of St. George. They proudly proclaim themselves to be "potty mouths" - at least when it comes to discussing proper posture for waste elimination and the Squatty Potty, the product they developed that is receiving national attention.
The idea for the Squatty Potty started when Judy Edwards was dealing with hemorrhoids and constipation issues and learned that bringing the knees up into a squatting position actually relieves a natural kink in the colon and leads to less straining when eliminating waste from the bowel.

Race-ethnic variation in carotid bifurcation geometry. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 19717017 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: Disturbances in local blood flow influenced by arterial geometry contribute to atherogenesis. Carotid bifurcation hemodynamics depend on the relative sizes of the common carotid artery (CCA), internal carotid artery (ICA), and external carotid artery (ECA), which vary considerably among individuals. The prevalence of carotid bifurcation atherosclerosis differs among race-ethnic groups and is generally lower in African Americans despite a more adverse vascular risk factor profile. We here examine whether there are race-ethnic differences in carotid bifurcation anatomy. METHODS: The diameters of the CCA, carotid bulb, ICA, and ECA were measured from consecutive cerebral angiograms of African American, white, and Caribbean Hispanic patients. The bulb/CCA, ICA/CCA, ECA/CCA, ECA/ICA, and total cross-sectional outflow/inflow ratio ([ICA(2) + ECA(2)]/CCA(2)) were calculated. RESULTS: The final analysis included 272 bifurcations of which 103 were among white, 87 Hispanic, and 82 African American patients. The mean age of the population was 59.8 +/- 15.8 years and 148 (54.4%) were men. African Americans had a lower ICA/CCA ratio (P < .001) and ICA/ECA ratio (P < .0001) and a higher ECA/CCA ratio (P < .0001) in comparison with the other two groups. CONCLUSION: We found significant differences in the relative sizes of the ICA, ECA, and CCA among race-ethnic groups. African Americans had a proportionally smaller ICA and larger ECA in comparison with whites and Caribbean Hispanics. |

Where Y'Eat: Exploring Salt-Baked Seafood at Kim Son
The "salt-baked" dishes at a Gretna Vietnamese restaurant are neither baked, nor particularly salty, but they sure are delicious.
The name of the Gretna restaurant Kim Son means golden mountain, but whenever I hear it I think immediately of a range of seafood dishes mysteriously called salt-baked. I think of an exceptional, multi-course beef dinner. And I think of one of the best tofu dishes in town.
Kim Son proprietress Tina Dieu and her family must have seemed like trailblazers when they opened their restaurant near the Oakwood shopping center in 1988, a time when such Vietnamese set pieces as pho, the noodle salad called bun and even spring rolls had nowhere near the local popular appeal they enjoy today. But as such dishes proliferate across the New Orleans dining scene, a roster of distinctive house specialties still set Kim Son apart.
Among these specialties are a range of dishes loosely, though inaccurately, translated as "salt baked." They aren't baked or particularly salty. They're actually wok-fried and smothered with onion and black pepper. The misnomer shouldn't give much pause to New Orleanians, who know that BBQ shrimp really has nothing to do with barbecue. The salt baked crabs are especially good. Served in the shell and hacked into quarters, they make the palate pulse with peppery spice and cover the fingers with buttery sauce. It's a dish for a group to attack with hungry abandon, and it feels very much like an Asian-flavored version of a crab boil. It's just as messy too.
The fried shells of salt baked shrimp are too crunchy for me, so I peel them, though I know other people who eat the tails whole. A tofu dish prepared in the salt baked style is one of my favorite meatless meals, especially when paired with a plate of garlicky sautéed greens like gai lan, or water spinach.
Other specialties here belong to a category of interactive and entertaining dishes cooked at the table. Ordering the bo nuong vi, for instance, calls forth a portable, table-top grill on which you cook thin-sliced, marinated beef with knobs of butter before folding them into rice paper rolls with a profusion of fresh herbs and pickled vegetables. The bo nhung dam entails a similar process, though this time you dredge the raw beef in a sort of fondue of bubbling rice vinegar.
These dishes are best when shared around the table, but to really put Kim Son through its paces find one willing dining companion and get an extravaganza of a meal called the Imperial Seven. Then behold as the staff ferries out a progressive dinner for two with seven courses, all of them of beef. The grilled and fondue dishes I just mentioned start things off, then there's broiled beef encased in grilled green onions, grape leaves stuffed with ground beef, strips of caramelized, jerky-like beef and a dish of cool, rare beef with onions and lemon juice that tastes like a Vietnamese carpaccio. Then, for dessert, the meal ends with a soupy rice porridge of shallots, pepper and, of course, beef.
A savory dessert, beef fondue and salt-baked seafood that's neither salty nor baked – Kim Son sure can throw a few curve balls. But that's alright. Intrepid New Orleans eaters aren't the type to let semantics get in the way of a great meal.

Australian lesbian couple banned from school ball
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
cue mad scramble for (pseudo) justification from the authorities.
They just don't get it: this behaviour on their part leads to homophobic bullying and much else by their pupils. Is Oz trying to out-nasty the USA
"The principal of Ivanhoe Girls' Grammar, Heather Schnagl, said the aim of the ball was to encourage girls to socialise with boys and said that all the girls would bring female partners if one was allowed to."
So, let me get this… either:
1) the principal is subtly trying to increase the rate of teenage pregnancy, by setting up girls to "meet boys", since everyone knows what happens in the restrooms or after the dance.
and or
2) The principal is scared that the girls will turn all the girls gay and thus his male student body will have to turn gay too, because there are no girls left!
Australia once again baffles me, because I am not sure I just read what I thought I read.
Religious nutters again?
It is an Anglican all-girls school.
Cate Blanchett used to go there, IIRC.chrissie
xxxxx -
The Principle,
Ivanhoe Girls Grammar SchoolDear Ms Schnagl,
Please find attached a copy of my email to the alliance of girls schools which I have cc'd to all of my relatives in Melbourne .
I have to say that I am totally disgusted with your stand on this matter causing much distress, humiliation and embarrassment to Ms Williams and Ms Supski amongst their peers.
I have to inform you that this matter is now gaining international attention and is being picked up by the international media and LGBT organisations and groups around the world.
This reflects very badly on your school and the Australian education system that such prejudicial and spiteful behaviour can be allowed in this day and age, flouting the equal opportunities act and policies and discriminating against these young ladies on the grounds of their sexual orientation, it is most reprehensible, one has to wonder at the values being espoused at Ivanhoe Girls Grammar School and the at the mindset of the staff.
I am sure that you will not have heard the last of this matter and I hope that you are truly ashamed of your behaviour it is not a good example to be setting and I shall be urging all my contacts to make representation to politicians and educational departments in Victoria and Canberra until an apology is issued and clear guidelines are set to ensure that no further instances of such blatant homophobia and prejudicial discrimination such as this are allowed to occur in the education system in the future ,
sincerely, -
Dear Sirs ,
I am writing to express my concern at the barring of Hannah Williams from taking her girlfriend Savannah Supski to the school ball at Ivanhoe Girls Grammar School which flies in the face of The Equal Opportunity act.
I suggest that the humiliation and prejudice that was shown to these young ladies is not the kind of experience which is a good example to set in 2010, and that the school should be brought to book for its outrageous and bigoted prejudicial behaviour .
This incident is now attracting international attention and reflects very badly on the Australian education establishment as a whole. One expects better than this in this day and age , what kind of message does this send out to our young people , that it is ok to discriminate, exclude and make examples of young people who are different on the basis of their sexual orientation?
sincerely -
So the school needs specific sanctions to stop ALL the girls turning up with girlfriends! Wow! Talk about the back foot! Best thing I've heard all day.
The floodgates argument is nearly always a poor one. It fails to recognise that exceptions should be made where appropriate.
Ye must lay down and pretend to be a heterosexual before going out into our world. So says the night Presenter at 4BC Radio Brisbane.
This professional Homophobe never allows Gay debate on his programme but insists on ear bashing us nightly with his particular brand of Anglo/Chrinistist logic. Schnagl to that old hype! It does remind me of similar pressure once applied to Aboriginies here. Can we come to the ball with you?? "Only if behave like a white person".
This radio programme originates at Radio 2UE Sydney, which is owned by The Sydney Morning Herald, a reasonably liberal Tabloid… But then it's broadcast through 4BC Brisbane and aimed at an extremely homophobic Queensland audience. There is hardly a ripple these days on such issues, but the Presenter always falls into an apoplexy and gets moist, hoping to stir up the old…
Before you all get your knickers in a not – I teach at this school and lesbian students are allowed to bring their girlfriends to school formals as two did this year!!!
This had more to do with the age of the student than the sexuality.
No, that last comment wasn't from me. Tw*t.
So Iris, do Hetero's still insist on speaking for us and about us?
Which all knowing Psychologist has decided which is the right age of reason for all the different types of human animals? There are all too many of them from Universities, positioning and fighting to tell us what is good for us. The Anglicans and guilt ridden Catholics teach us, the age of reason is seven years of age?
I was in love at that age but feared the foot-long, Leather strap of the notorious Christian Brothers.
The disease of homophobia in Australia is coming from his Anglican Archbishopric and from Cardinal Pell. -
News just cum in…
The Australian Greens say anti-discrimination laws are weak and need to be reviewed.
The Greens will introduce a motion to Parliament next week to have the laws investigated after a student was banned from taking her girlfiend to a school dance. -
Serves them right for going to a private school. The same thing happened recently at a Brisbane (Anglican) Boys school. Religious schools are exempt from the anti-discimination act. They can be as homophobic as they like. Australia remains, sadly, a homophobic country. We have both a Prime minister and an opposition leader who treat gay people with absolute contempt. What can you expect? I vote GREEN.

Hebrews 6:13-20New International Version (NIV)The Certainty of God's Promise13 When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself, 14 saying, "I will surely bless you and give you many descendants."[a] 15 And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised. 16 People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument. 17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. 18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 20 where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek. Footnotes:

More Behind the Scenes with Beasley
Have to say, I've found ESPN's video series on one-time All-Met Mike Beasley extremely entertaining. It's an up-close and inside look at the star player. This week's installment takes you backstage as Beasley gets ready to go to the ESPYs, including a visit from his personal jeweler and Beasley's imitation of Shaquille O'Neal.

Honor Before Victory
Bernard Madoff, the author of the biggest Ponzi scheme in history, told inmates at the Butner prison where he is serving his 150 years jail sentence that his victims deserved what happened to them, because they were rich and greedy, according to an article in New York Magazine. Pot meet kettle?
Chuck Lidell: I paint my toenails with pink and black polish. Problem is, I get more paint on my toes and on the carpet than on my nails. Any advice? Maria Sharapova: Don't you beat up other guys for a living? I don't know how to answer this.

Stimulated Raman scattering in hydrogen by frequency-doubled amplified femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser pulses
Optics Letters, Vol. 21, Issue 6, pp. 381-383 (1996)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (255 KB)
We present results on stimulated Raman scattering in hydrogen excited by 200-fs-duration 1-kHz repetition-rate and 0.6-W average-power Ti:sapphire (780-nm) and 0.2-W average-power second-harmonic (390-nm) laser pulses with linear and circular polarizations. Spectral and temporal measurements of the vibrational and rotational components at Stokes and anti-Stokes frequencies in the wavelength range of 289–1154 nm are reported. We observe threefold shortening of the first vibrational Stokes component pulses, excited by 400-fs-duration second-harmonic pulses.

Al Qaida is warned
Monday - 5/23/2011, 3:33pm EDT
President Barack Obama has sent a blunt and chilling warning to Al Qaida. "We not only took out (Osama Bin Laden) the symbol and operational leader of Al Qaida, we walked off with his files." He called it the largest treasure trove of intelligence ever seized from a terrorist. "Today every terrorist in the al Qaida network should be watching their back, because we're going to review every video, examine every photo, read every one of those millions of pages, we're going to pursue lead," said Mr. Obama. He told an audience at the CIA, they're going to go wherever they have to go to finish the job.

Highways Don't Pay For Themselves, Even When They Do
Submitted by MLewyn on Fri, 07/18/2014 - 8:41amOne common argument for the highway-centric status quo is that highways pay for themselves, while trains and buses are government-subsidized. This argument has been debunked again and again, and the debunking itself has even been debunked.

BURR OAK, Mich. (AP) — A Burr Oak man simply wanted to gather some sweet corn for the family freezer.
He didn't expect to have to deal with an alligator rushing at him.
Jeff Adamski was in a corn field on a recent evening when two women came running from a few rows over, screaming that they had seen an alligator.
He checked it out and sure enough, there it was.
Adamski tells the Sturgis Journal he "backed away," and the gator "darted at me." He then backed up faster, and the animal kept coming.
That's when Adamski says he decided to deal with the problem, considering what an alligator could do to a child if he let it go.
The newspaper reports Adamski grabbed a 4-foot bar out of his truck and killed the alligator.
Burr Oak is about 80 miles south of Grand Rapids.

279 | Alexandria, D.C., 5c Black on Buff, Type I (1X1). Cut to shape as always, parts of surrounding ornaments showing all around, uncanceled and neatly affixed by star in octagon wax wafer on Aug. 25, 1846, Quaker-dated folded letter to Winchester Va., vivid red "Alexandria D.C. Aug. 25" cds and matching "Paid" and "5" in rectangular frame Alexandria, a major port city, was ceded to the District of Columbia in 1791. On July 6, 1846, the United States Congress voted to cede Alexandria back to Virginia. In September 1846 the issue was put up for a vote by the white male citizens of Alexandria County (insane persons and paupers excluded), and they voted 763 to 222 in favor of recession. However, it was not until March 1847 that the Virginia General Assembly enacted the recession. A noteworthy aspect of this Alexandria cover is the letter, which refers to the September vote on the question of Alexandria's status. It reads, "What do the folks in Frederick County say about retrocession? There is a good deal of talk about it here. The commissioners have appointed the first and second days of next month to take the vote ... a stranger to whom she had been introduced told her he hoped she would persuade the Alexandrians to go back to Virginia. I think the country people will mostly vote against it and the town people mostly for it." The Alexandria post office was most definitely part of the District of Columbia when the provisional stamps were used before March 1847. In the case of this August 1846 cover, we have used the proper designation, despite the Scott Catalogue listing. According to Philip T. Wall (Chronicle, Feb. 1983), there are six recorded examples of the Alexandria 5c on buff paper. Of each type there are two covers and one off-cover stamp. This cover was discovered in 1926 by Edward S. Leadbeater of Alexandria while he was visiting relatives in Parkins' Mills. The letters were addressed to his father of the same name. The cover was sold to Perry Fuller, a Baltimore dealer, for approximately $7,000. It was then sold to Henry G. Lapham and became part of the great Lapham collection of postmasters' provisionals. The cover was later acquired by Consul Klep Van Velthoven of Belgium and realized $5,250 when the Klep collection was sold at auction in 1956. The Leadbeater cover next appeared at auction when these Galleries sold the "Texas" collection of U.S. postmasters' provisionals in 1964, in which sale it realized $9,000. It was sold again through these Galleries in 1986 at the auction sale of the "Isleham" collection, where it realized $77,000 against a catalogue value of $30,000.

I woke up (not at home) to find out I kissed Ryan Caberra, flashed for free gumbys and carried around an inflatable moose named Johnson. Great success.
You must be Logged in to post a comment
lol what if its not even ryan cabrera and it was actually just someone named Ryan Caberra.
kens is way better than bigdaddys. gumby's is awesome
Someone actually went to the Ryan Cabrera concert at Big Daddy's? Floyd's denied him. hahaha
too bad he ended up banging the asian that manages a & f @ the hotel across from the bars.....
gumbys is so goooooddddd!!!
I miss Gumby's and Tallahassee!!
if you got gumbys, it was all worth it.
i guess you guys know the poster...and by the way, ryan cabrera (who i had to wiki) sucks. now i remember seeing him on tv, looks like a tool
the gumbys there is always free...
I know at least 3 girls who have hooked up with Ryan Cabrera. He's a slut. If that poor Riley girl thinks she's his girlfriend, she is in for a nasty surprise
gumbys is a pizza place
thats tallahassee for you
Ha, all lies. Losers.
Good night on the Tenn Strip huh?
why did so many people call this a good night? she kissed RYAN FUCKING CABRERA. have you seen him? chubbyfaced tool. why would you want dick that's been in ashlee simpson?
Hahahahahha inflatable moose xD I love you
haha, ive flashed for free gumbys too!!! it's like a right of passage. BTW, gumby's is a pizza place!
Whoever is saying it isn't Tallahassee because its 813 is retarded. I have an 813 area code & live in Tallahassee, go to FSU & have flashed for free Gumby's after a drunken night on the Tennessee strip.
Even urban dictionary couldn't help with the gumbys, except for the obvious SNL. And who the hell would want that?
12:29 nice attempt at being funny.. you're not, go kill yourself. And this is such a fake text.. She doesn't even know his name and why would you want to kiss him?? Uck
I'd totally do Ryan Cabrera! he's fucking sexy!
you have no idea how many girls flash for free gumbys
go noles! that is amazing ryan was at big daddy's, that's probably one of the smallest venues in tallahassee. not worth a fsu venue? yaaa
hahaha just the thought that elvis' granddaughter and ryan cabrera are stalking around on this site "defending their honor" or whatnot really makes my life. kinda makes me glad that i'm not famous <3
ah he is so cute... jealous haha sounds like an amazing night hahha
big daddys rules and the place was fucking packed with hot chicks when ryan cabrera was there!
on the way down.........my cock
haha i def have n00dz of the girl that sent this text! woo
my friend slept with him and thought he got her prego. he must get around
uhm its tally...so weird, i have an 813 area code and live in tally. how magical.
So I also had a similar experience; but I adopted an inflatable palm tree named Carlisle, got hit on by Ryan Cabrerra, just took a picture with him, took a picture with Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite because they were hanging out, payed for pizza, and went to sleep at my own house. This is what someone who doesn't drink did in a similar situation. Oh & I'm from Tampa and go to FSU too. Small world.
813 is tampa, fucktards.
gotta love fsu girls..
Inflatable moose named Johnson?? Doesnt sound bad to meeee haha
its so sad how many FSU-ians read this and think .....oh Tallahassee. yet...its amazing. Proud to be a seminole =)
all i want to know is who actually goes to big daddy's? that bar is awful!
i'd totally do ryan cabrerra! he's fucking hot. text me! 541.261.1862 [:
Heyyy I've kissed him too! Don't feel special...
I really hope it was for pokey sticks.
lmfao - Well I didn't kiss him, but I did give him my bra with " I suck better than Ashlee" written in it...
This is Riley, Ryans' girlfriend....and this post is FAKE. I was with him last night. He would never cheat on me. I'm too hot to hold and too much to handle.
ahhhh 813 and at fsu +10
All the people who are saying good nighters need to reconsider. I don't care how bad Ryan is. It's fucking Gumbys!
honestly. are you fucking twelve?
come on people kissing Ryan Caberrera is never a good night
haha wow this is so classy and this girl doesnt go to FSU she goes to UF
Only in Tampa... And you have am 913 area code cuz you lived in Tpa when you got your phone and now you go to FSU. Duh
Um I <3 Big Daddy's. Good people and great music. Might be a little trashy at times, but don't hate.
All these 'good night'ers need to reconsider....it was Ryan Caberra...sick!
I live in Tampa... I'm pretty sure we are 813...
Seriously, first of all Tampa is 813. Tallahassee is 850 you dipshits. Second of all, miss text, I doubt you kissed Ryan Cabrera, but if you did, you're dumb. Third of all, Ryan and Riley SO look at the 813 area code texts from last night. Get real, get a life. And I've never tried Gumby's, but I'm so guessing I should if it's worth flashing over. If you guys LIVE in Tallahassee and don't even know you're own area code is 850, LEARN YOUR NUMBERS.
I highly doubt Riley Keough would post on here anyways. She's freaking Elvis Presley's granddaughter
this post is not necessarilly a lie just because his bitch girlfriend said he wouldnt cheat... hate to break it to you slut.... but i was there and he was making out with maaaddd bitches (which blows my mind, look at him) and him taking a bra from a drunk bitch isnt cheating RETARD!
stick it to me tuesdays anyone?
Big Daddy's blows, I hate that place, but god damn, I'm away from Tally for the summer and I'm getting Gumby's cravings.
uhm someone said something about this being tallahasee? its tampa...

The challenge of moving beyond rhetoric: paradoxes of diversity management in the Middle East
Jamali, Dima, Abdallah, Hanin and Hmaidan, Soha (2010) The challenge of moving beyond rhetoric: paradoxes of diversity management in the Middle East. Equality, Diversity and Inclusion: An International Journal, 29, (2), 167-185. (doi:10.1108/02610151011024484 ).

Purpose - the purpose of this paper is to examine the understanding and practice of diversity management in a Middle Eastern context, based on interviews with two sets of stakeholders (Lebanese women managers and HR managers) directly concerned and involved with diversity management efforts in the Lebanese context.
Design/methodology/approach – the paper adopts an integrative multi-level research design and an interpretive research methodology, capitalizing on in-depth interviews with eight HR managers and 18 women managers to explore their perceptions and interpretations of diversity management in the Lebanese context.
Findings – the findings presented in this paper clearly illustrate the relevance of micro, meso, and macro level factors in diversity management research and the need to accord attention to cultural differences and peculiarities of national contexts.
Originality/value – the paper offers a critical perspective on diversity management in an unusual context. It makes unequivocally clear that the goals for alleviating specific sources of discrimination need to be locally articulated/defined. Furthermore, the paper questions the laissez faire management approach to diversity and warns against a tendency to ignore serious gender related issues at work as more women enter the workforce in the Middle East
