Don't Ask, Don't Get

As many as 200,000 people marched for LGBT rights in Washington, DC, this past Sunday in a bold attempt to reinvigorate the vision and strategy of the LGBT movement. Yet despite the impressive turnout--a surprise to the organizers and certainly to the march's critics--and despite the dazzling sun, the sea of rainbow flags and rousing speeches delivered in front of the Capitol, the most inspiring thing about the National Equality March (NEM) this weekend was not the march itself. It was instead the energy, the impatience, the vision and the leadership bubbling up in the strategy and activist events surrounding the march that opened my eyes to the potential significance of the changes under way within the LGBT community.
From its inception in a blog post just five months ago by veteran gay rights campaigner and antiwar activist David Mixner, to its grassroots organizing strategy and shoe-string budget, to its powerful new message demanding nothing less than full equality at the federal level, the movement being built around the march has defied the conventional rules and wisdoms of the established LGBT movement. For Mixner, this is "the coming of age of the gay and lesbian civil rights movement," the emergence of a new generation of grassroots activists, impatient for change and determined to bring it about.
While Mixner's call to action was taken up by fellow seasoned campaigner Cleve Jones, the drive behind the NEM and Equality Across America, the organization created to plan the march and turn momentum into action, comes from a new generation of activists and organizers. Kip Williams and Robin McGehee, aged 27 and 36, spearheaded the organizational effort. Neither had any experience of national organizing before the march, and they had limited connections to established national organizations. According to Nicole Murray-Ramirez--the only gay activist to have served in a national capacity with all four previous LGBT marches on Washington and one of three national co-chairs of this one--the youthfulness of the NEM's organizing committee is unprecedented: "This weekend...is truly handing the torch on," he observed. Wayne Ting, a 25-year-old LGBT activist and NEM organizer, puts this down in large part to Proposition 8, the citizen-initiated ballot measure that outlawed same-sex marriage in California after the state's Supreme Court had ruled it legal, the "first time in our generation that we saw something move backwards."
Over the weekend, I spoke with 17-year-old James Neiley, a high school student from Vermont and one of the youngest members of the NEM's steering committee, about his determination to get his "slice of the American dream," and with Chloe Noble, another NEM organizer who is walking 6,000 miles across the country to raise awareness of LGBT youth homelessness, about her faith in a new generation of "young, powerful and passionate activists." I listened to Cleve Jones, protégé of Harvey Milk and tireless activist for gay rights since the 1970s, deliver an impassioned speech to an overflowing crowd at Busboys and Poets restaurant and bookstore, gracefully but forcefully handing the torch to a new generation, in which he has profound confidence. And I witnessed the frustration, even rage, of protesters outside the Human Rights Campaign's Annual National Dinner, where President Obama was about to speak to an appreciative black-tie crowd--protesters who could wait no longer for reforms to protect them in their jobs and in the streets, to allow them to serve their country in the military, and to grant them equality in marriage.
So by the time I joined around 200,000 other marchers Sunday, who had traveled from across the country, each with their own stories, concerns and priorities, yet united by a simple but radical demand for full civil equality in all fifty states, I had some confidence that, even if this new vision and determination had not yet penetrated the Lady Gaga-loving crowd, the march would lead to more than the "emotional release" with which critics sought to dismiss it. The leaders spearheading Equality Across America have become increasingly alienated from the established LGBT advocacy groups. McGehee's experience of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation's largest LBGT advocacy group and host to Obama on the eve of the march, was that an "HRC representative would come in to town, and we'd meet over lunch, and never see him again." Equality Across America, on the other hand, promises to "build a national grassroots network," comprised of "Action Teams" in all 435 Congressional districts to lobby their representatives for full civil equality at the federal level. Where HRC also lobbies for federal-level change, organizers I spoke to complained of HRC's detachment from the urgency felt at the grassroots, and voiced a perception that in its pursuit of access to political leaders (where their success is notable) HRC has sold the movement short.
Equality Across America takes a dim view of state-level victories, calling them "imperfect and impermanent." The group points out that, considering marriage alone, over 1,000 rights and benefits are granted at the federal level (in addition to those rights granted on the state level) and notes the vulnerability of marriage rights won on the state level, such as in California. For strategy Cleve Jones looks back to 1963, and a parallel moment in which "great heroes of the historic civil rights movement" concluded that while they "would certainly have to continue to fight in places with names like Selma, Birmingham and Montgomery, they would have to set their sights on Washington, DC." While they fear that Obama is stepping back from the very promises he reiterated to the HRC on Saturday night, these young activists have not lost hope, and they are determined to push Obama with all their might.
While this strategy resonates with the grassroots and younger activists, the reaction from existing state campaigns and national organizations has ranged from loaded silence to outright anger. State campaigners, especially in Washington, DC, and Maine, where referendums will soon be held on whether to reverse expanded rights for same-sex couples, accused organizers of failing to consult the wider movement and taking time and resources away from crucial state battles where victory is more likely. HRC and other national organizations such as the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force were slow to endorse the campaign, and even then provided only minimal support. In a recent letter to members, Joe Solmonese, head of HRC, called for patience, offering these encouraging words: "It's not January 19, 2017 [the date when Obama's hypothetical second term would end]." At the march itself, activists carrying an HRC banner seemed to have been instructed not to speak to journalists, deferring all questions for the organization to the organization's communications staff. As the march approached, a slew of organizations offered late endorsements. Yet vocal critics of the march remain, such as Barney Frank, who on Friday declared the march "a waste of time at best," adding, "The only thing they're going to be putting pressure on is the grass." These remarks stoked the flames of grassroots dissatisfaction with the LGBT establishment, provoking a volley of public rebukes. As Robin McGehee put it to the crowds gathered in front of the capitol, "You may say that marches don't matter. I say that you are out of touch in the seat of power you are clearly enjoying."
The movement building around the NEM has the potential to transform not only the message of LGBT rights, but its methods of organizing. The march, organized on a tiny budget, with only one paid staff member (who received the minimum wage) but a steering committee of over 100 unpaid volunteers, relied heavily on Facebook, Twitter, other social networking sites and blogs. Mixner said this was "probably the first Internet march that I've ever seen" with "no central office, no central staff...no phone number that you can call." The total cost was under $250,000, "a fraction of the budget of any of the past marches," says Williams. Organizers neither sought out nor accepted any corporate sponsorship. "Every penny...came from individual donors who believe in us." And no funding was received from national LGBT organizations: "They didn't offer and we didn't ask."
Unlike previous LGBT marches on Washington, the NEM did not target any single piece of legislation. Rather than organizing to march, they were marching to organize. To this end at least fifty-seven events were organized over the weekend, from strategy sessions, to grassroots organizing workshops and networking, to protests and vigils on various issues. Youth and student groups were especially prominent. At the "Impact: Speak Out Event" at Gallaudet University young LGBT activists heard from Kip Williams and Robin McGehee, communicated with their deaf peers, and shared their common concerns about safety and bullying at schools, about LGBT youth homelessness and about high suicide rates among the community. While marriage was a concern for some, others pointed to employment and housing discrimination and immigration as priorities over marriage. The event ended with a brief training session, followed by a "This Is What Equality Looks Like!" flashmob, organized via a text messaging system, where over a hundred young activists froze in Union Square station for about three minutes, before marching to the Capitol.
Around the same time a student protest had been organized against "don't ask, don't tell," the policy banning LGBT people from serving openly in the military. David Valk, a recent graduate of UCLA and National Student Outreach Coordinator for the NEM, told me that the demonstration had been unexpectedly powerful: hundreds of protesters, alerted by text message, gathered at the Washington Monument and covered their mouths with duct tape for what was to be a silent protest. But to the organizers' surprise, the protesters spontaneously started clapping--as Valk put it, "They refuse to be silenced." As they marched past the White House, protestors ripped the tape from their mouths, pointed megaphones in the president's direction and demanded an end to "don't ask, don't tell" before joining a rally of 500 to 1,000 people at George Washington University, where freshman Todd Belok was dismissed from the National Reserve Officers Training Corps earlier this year after he was seen kissing his boyfriend.
Questions remain about how to sustain the momentum from Sunday's march. The immediate next step is a call to action, supported by an online Organizers Toolkit, to organize mobilization meetings in every Congressional district during the first week of November. The organizational weight of the HRC and other campaigns is unlikely to be thrown behind the Equality Across America campaign. As Jones suggested, many people "are deeply invested in pursuing...this older strategy" of piecemeal, state-focused reform. And while netroots activism clearly worked for the march, it's less clear whether it can sustain targeted local activism. Williams acknowledged that they didn't yet have answers to these "hard questions...about infrastructure" and expressed hope that "we'll be able to work with the national organizations in the future." Similarly, while the power of the message comes from its ambition and breadth, it's unclear at what level and on which policies local groups should focus their efforts. Williams favors an "omnibus bill, which will be a package of legislation passed together, and/or an amendment to the Civil Rights Act to include LGBT people." He declined to expand on this ambitious proposal, but it's unclear that any member of Congress is interested in introducing an omnibus piece of legislation.
The organizers of the National Equality March, and of Equality Across America, clearly have a lot of work to do if they are to turn their success on Sunday into a sustained political movement. Whether their organizational strategies will be appropriate to this new task, and whether the activism of the leadership reached the crowds in Washington, remains to be seen. Yet at the very least the organizers of the NEM have altered the terms of debate. They have set out an inspiring new vision as only a new generation could have done, taking the LGBT movement beyond the dark days of the struggle against HIV/AIDS, standing on the shoulders of the giants of the civil rights movement, to catch sight of a goal that may be closer than you think: "Equal protection for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender people in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states."

Gray: Antonio you have said that Chad is the future and you're the now. What gives you the indication that he's not the 'now' and the future as well?
Tarver: Well, I feel like I'm at the top of my game. I just took the IBF title from Clinton Woods. I'm here. I'm the unified champion, four-time light heavyweight champion, twice undisputed. I've done it all. I've beaten everybody so why wouldn't I feel like I'm the now and he can be the future?
Gray: Chad do you feel Antonio is way past his prime?
Chad Dawson: Yes, definitely past his prime. Look at his last three performances. They speak for themselves. Just look at Clinton Woods. He can't even beat a 'paycheck.' Clinton Woods didn't put up a fight…. He came to collect a paycheck.
Gray: By that same token, you didn't have your best night against Glen Johnson and Antonio didn't have a problem.
Dawson: Like I said, Glen Johnson came to fight, Chad Dawson came to fight. We had a hell of a fight. I'm here, I'm the future and I'm the now. On October 11, I will prove that point to the whole world.
Gray: How do you think you'll be able to do that?
Dawson: I am in tremendous shape like I always am. I come into every fight in tremendous shape. There's nothing that Antonio Tarver does that can throw me off my game plan. He's slow, he's old. Come on, look at my last three performances and look at his and tell me who the better fighter is.
Gray: Antonio you're response to what you're hearing here from Chad Dawson?
Tarver: I'm listening to a guy that is very naďve, a guy that is very young, obviously, mentally and he's sadly mistaking. (Many) have come and tried to conquer and have tried to take me out. It has never been done before and it won't get done on Oct. 11. All this guy is hoping for is that I show up less then prepared. They are looking to roll the dice and get lucky. That's it, bottom line. But I'm here to tell you, I'm here to put the world on notice that it won't happen. I'll have my best performance against Chad Dawson. He's right about the prediction. It won't go the distance.
Gray: Antonio, he raises an interesting point. You haven't looked your best in your last three fights. It looks like there has been a struggle and it looks like age now has affected you. What have you done in the interceding time to change that trend?
Tarver: Do me a favor. Put the camera up close. This is a fighter that has been in this sport for 20 years. Now do the same with Chad Dawson. He's ten years my youth. The bottom line is I got the secret to the success. I've been here. I'm not going anywhere. You will see a display of the sweet science when I technically annihilate Chad Dawson on the 11th.
Gray: Chad, a lot of people say possibly you don't have the chin and you've addressed that in the past. What about your chin and what about taking the big punch from him?
Dawson: I've never been knocked out. That's what I have to say to that. I've been down but never been knocked out.
Gray: Do you respect not only what he's (Tarver) done in the past but where he is now as a fighter?
Dawson: I respect what he's done in the past but where he is right now as a fighter, you can't compare that to me. I'm young, I'm fast, I'm strong, I'm in the best shape of my life. Every fight I come in on weight. I never have trouble making weight. Never. I mean that's a true champion right there. I never have to struggle to make weight because I come in to camp on weight, every camp.
Gray: Why do you feel you're an underdog and there's this lack of respect, Antonio?
Tarver: They just don't understand my game. All I do is win and all I do is be successful but they can't understand my game. I was underestimated coming out of the Olympics. They never thought I would reach this plateau. As long as we have critics it gives me something to shoot for.
Gray: Chad, when you hear all this, what is your reaction?
Dawson: I believe in my abilities and he believes in his abilities. But, like he said, October 11, somebody is going home with hell, and it's not going to be me.
Two IBF All-African title fights top "KnockOut Poverty" pro boxing show Sept. 23 at Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City
NEW YORK CITY (September 18, 2008) – A pair of International Boxing Federation All-African championship bouts will be featured Tuesday night (September 23) on the "KnockOut Poverty" pro boxing card, presented by Bob Duffy's Ring Promotions, at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan.
"KnockOut Poverty" is a landmark event to help fight poverty in Africa. Grammy Award-winning, UN Goodwill Ambassador Youssou N'Dour and friends are among the many stars scheduled for the historic evening of entertainment, music and boxing. N'Dour and other musical legends are scheduled to perform between fights with proceeds from the event going to the All For Africa charitable organization.
Two-time Nigerian Olympian and former IBA Continental light middleweight title-holder Eromosele "Bad Boy" Albert (21-2, 10 KOs), fighting out of Miami, meets Ghana-native Ossie Duran (23-6-1, 9 KOs), former Commonwealth light middleweight and welterweight champion, in the 12-round main event for the vacant IBF All-African light middleweight title.
Albert, born in Nigeria and now living in Miami, registered his first notable victory in 2005 against Dorian Beaupierre by 12-round decision for the IBA Continental belt. Three fights later, Eromosele won a 10-round win by decision versus the future star of The Contender reality television series, previously unbeaten David Banks (10-0-1). The most significant win to date for "Bad Boy" was by 10-round decision against former world champion Luis "Yori Boy" Campas (88-9) on ESPN in 2007. A seventh-round knockout of Daniel Edouard (18-1-2) followed, setting the stage for Albert's last fight (May 17, 2008) versus undefeated young contender James Kirkland (21-0) on ShoBox for the NABO light middleweight championship, in which, Eromosele was stopped for the first time in his pro career.
Duran, born Osumanu Yahaya in Ghana, now resides in London. He took an eight-round decision from David Kirk in 2001 for the WBF Pan-European welterweight championship and later that same year, Ossie added the WBF European welterweight belt by 10-round decision against Delroy Millis in London. The Commonwealth welterweight title followed by way of a 12-round victory by decision against Joshua Okine (10-1-1) in Ghana. Duran's most significant victory was a third-round stoppage in 2004 of Jamie Moore (20-1), current British lightweight champion, for the Commonwealth light middleweight championship. Ossie started 2007 off with an impressive win by eight-round decision versus Jonathan Reid (34-4), star of The Contender Season One. Durans's last action (June 1, 2007) resulted in a loss by 10-round decision to Kirkland on ShoBox.
In the 12-round co-feature, former world title challenger Kingsley Ikeke (24-3, 13 KOs) takes on Abdullah Ramadan (15-8, 9 KOs), former IBF Interim light heavyweight title challenger, for the vacant IBF All-African light heavyweight championship.
Nigerian-native Ikeke, fighting out of Los Angeles, won his first 14 pro fights, including the WBC FECARBOX light middleweight title, before suffering his first loss to unbeaten prospect Anthony Hanshaw (11-0) by 10-round decision in 2001. Kingsley bounced right back, winning the vacant NABA middleweight belt in his next fight against Marlon Hayes (21-1) by fifth-round TKO. Three fights later, Ikeke added the NABF and NABO middleweight crowns with a sixth-round technical knockout of Kenny Elis (30-4-2), and in 2005 Kingsley stopped Antwun Echols in the 10th round of their IBF middleweight title eliminator. Later that year in Germany, the 22-1 Ikeke was knocked out for the only time in his pro career by undefeated IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham in the fifth round of their world title fight.
Ramadan, living in Toronto, originally is from Sudan. He turned pro in 1990 and holds notable wins against John David Jackson (35-1) and previously unbeaten Lloyd Bryan (16-0). Abdullah lost a 1998 IBF Interim middleweight title fight to Robert Allen (22-2) and is coming off of a loss by 10-round decision last March to Jason Naugler for the Canadian light heavyweight championship.
Former world title challenger, light heavyweight Jaffa "The African Assassin" Ballagou (45-6, 39 KOs), from Togo, meets multiple World Muay Thai champion Manu Ntoh (17-14-1, 10 KOs), from Cameroon, in an eight-round bout. Rounding out the 4-fight card is a four-round bout between a pair of light welterweights making their pro debuts, Issouf Kinda, of Bukini Faso, and Carlos Fortoso.

I am a Cath Lab and ICU RN. Due to life circumstance, began vacation renting 2 of my homes a few years ago and find that I love it. It is a pleasure to share my unique homes. Thanks to all that come to them. I hope that all my guests enjoy them as much as I have.
Diane Stevenson purchased this house in 1989
This was our family home. My husband and I built it. It is not a 'kit'. He designed it and with a good bit of blood, sweat and tears, it was built with the care of the quality craftsman that he is. We raised our son here. He grew up playing in the creek and hiking in the woods. He is now 25 and with the economy the way it is, renting this home to nice folks helps us finance his education. It is a lovely home in a lovely location. We hope you enjoy staying in it as much as we enjoyed living in it for all those years. Diane Foley Stevenson (OWNER)
I love the creek and hiking in the woods. Follow the trail across the creek and up to the top of the property where you will enjoy a spectacular sunset. Walking into the house is like something magical. It really is a unique and special place to spend some well-deserved downtime.
Hi...I'm the owner and I have just had the pleasure of having my first guests this last weekend. I only recently listed my house on vrbo and I look forward to having many guests who enjoy their stay as much as the first ones have.
Diane Stevenson
Our stay at your log house was wonderful! So comfortable and cozy inside. The backyard was beautiful and very soothing! Perfect for a getaway from everyday hustle and bustle. I will recommend this home to any of my friends looking to get away!
Had a wonderful time here again. It was peaceful. Had fun exploring. The dog snuggles up in his travel bed and has a great time. Looking forward to booking another get away here. The house has such a wonderful open feeling. Love it!

Dear Diane,
I promised I would write about our stay in your log home, for I truly believe it is a home, not a house. I felt that as soon as I walked through the door on July 2. As I sit by our pool today and listen to the water I remember sitting in your backyard and listening to the creek….
It really began a year ago when I contacted you about renting your home for my family. I was excited about the upcoming wedding of my son that was to take place on July 5, 2014 at Squirrel Tree Ranch. Little did I know when you and I made arrangements via email and phone, that my family's stay at your log home would be so incredible.
That first night, Wednesday, July 2, it was just my husband and me. As soon as I opened the door I felt embraced….the fragrant smell….the soothing earth tones….the high ceilings and wooden floors….the comfy chairs….the long wooden dining table that would accommodate all 10 of us….the bedrooms complete with bathrobes and fluffy pillows….the bathrooms with a step stool for my grandchildren and hair dryers for my daughter and me….the games…movies…ping pong table….the deck and barbecue…and the back yard where you could sit and relax into the silence….for the adventurous….you could open the gate and rock hop across the creek…catch tadpoles….walk the wooden plank to the other side and daringly swing on the rope and drop into the creek.
While my husband and I enjoyed the quiet of that first night, when our children and grandchildren arrived on Thursday, new adventures began and treasured memories were made. The patter of little feet and the voices of our grandchildren calling for Nahni and Papa to come fix breakfast…..their excitement upon discovering the hammocks and the creek and rope swing…celebrating Kayden's 8th birthday on the 4th of July, complete with streamers draped on those high ceilings and cake and ice cream at the kitchen table.
On Saturday, one of the photographers came to take pictures of our son getting ready for his wedding….so many beautiful pictures and candid shots of Matthew with his nieces and nephews…it was so much fun to see and again the log home provided the perfect setting for so many wonderful and playful pictures!
On Sunday some of my immediate family moved out and my sister and brother and their spouses moved in. Again your home welcomed this "adult" gang …. The last night I stayed by myself and immersed myself into the quiet...a magnificent way to end an incredible 7 days!
The house is large and comfortable, however, having only two bathrooms for such a large number of people was a challenge as the upstairs bathroom ensuite did not have a separate door, anyone using it would have to make sure the bedroom was not being used. Also the owner called us to complain as we had guests over and a neighbor had phoned her to say there were extra cars there and they interrupted our evening with our friends making it uncomfortable for our visitors. Also the owner had arranged for a fridge to be delivered while we were there after she had told me she would make sure it was delivered after we had left. The house was clean and tidy but a bit tired, the kitchen drawers just about fell out when we opened them and there was no available cupboards for our food, so we left it on the counters as all the cupboards were full of dishes etc. Overall it was a nice place to stay and very convenient as we were attending a family wedding on the same street. The main bathroom was not great, could use some investment in fixing it up, and the upstairs toilet was not secured properly so it moved when you sat on it - also - there is no insulation between the floors so the guests in the main floor bedroom can hear the upstairs guests using the washroom, no privacy at all. You might as well have them in the room with you. Not great when you are using the bathroom at night.
The Log House is wonderful. It had lots of room, was very clean and well stocked. Enjoyed the hot tub. Had a great time playing ping pong and listening to the stream. Was not far to Grass Valley for groceries and dinner the first night. We really enjoyed the openness of the house. Our dog had a great time, too. Plan to make this a regular getaway spot.
The Log House was very clean and is on a small stream. We were disappointed that the house did not provide any outside privacy. The neighbors to the right and left are very close and there are no natural barriers between them and the log house. The property is on a long and narrow lot. Great internet at the house for those needing to be plugged in and the owner is extremely responsive.

Popsicle Stick Beach Sign
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Here's a fun and easy way to display your beach souvenirs: create a Popsicle Stick Beach Sign using objects you find on the beach. This popsicle stick craft from Amanda Formaro is thrifty and quick to whip up. It'll give your home a nautical vibe!
- 10 jumbo craft sticks
- Small pebbles
- Assorted shells, fish teeth and a starfish
- Sand
- White craft glue
- Twine or string
- Acrylic craft paint: Sea Green and White
- Paintbrush
- Paint all of the craft sticks with Sea Green and let dry. Glue all of the craft sticks together, side by side. Do not line them up perfectly. Off set them so they appear jagged.
- Dry brush white paint over the top to give the green a washed out look, leaving some green peeking through.
- Use white craft glue to write the word BEACH in capital letters across the top of the plaque. Place small pebbles in the glue to create the letters.
- Use a paintbrush or your finger to spread white craft glue across the bottom and a few inches up both sides, then cover the glue with sand and let sit for five minutes. Tap off the excess sand.
- Glue starfish and shells along the sandy area. Glue the fish teeth in a row in the middle of the plaque.
- Fashion a simple hanger from twine and glue it to the back.

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
From portable standing targets to track-mounted systems, you can tailor your shooting practice to your needs and budget.
The purpose of this article is to pass on a few observations and suggestions that might help law enforcement officers and their employing agencies improve firearms training, especially for those officers who find it difficult to qualify with their issued firearms.
Since 2004, POLICE-TREXPO keynote speaker Dr. Bill Lewinski and his team have dedicated themselves not only to researching human performance factors under stress and fear but also disseminating the research of other academics to rank-and-file officers.
Prolific firearms instructor, author and competitive shooter Massad Ayoob teaches the fundamentals of deadly force during his "Judicious Use of Force" workshop at the Lethal Force Institute (LFI).
ADSI, which specializes in the production of transparent and opaque armor for the U.S. military and the engineering of shooting ranges, has teamed up with an undisclosed German company to create one of the world's most sophisticated and versatile live fire simulators, the T2 Training System.
This news report features Spokane officer Tracie Meidl, a firearms instructor with the department who describes her approach to the job. She also recounts the story of her brush with an armed gunman who confronted her with a shotgun."You have to have the will to win, the will to survive," she says.
Owens Community College offers scenario-based training to first responders via its Center for Emergency Preparedness in Toledo, Ohio. The facility features a Firearms Training System (FATS), an interactive simulated system designed to provide training in the handling and use of small and supporting firearms, as well as confronting hostile assailants.
Prolific firearms instructor, author and competitive shooter Massad Ayoob teaches the fundamentals of deadly force during his "Judicious Use of Force" workshop at the Lethal Force Institute (LFI).
Magpul Dynamics will release "Art of the Dynamic Handgun," a 4-DVD trainer, in February. The video emphasizes the use of a handgun under dynamic-stress situations. "Amateurs train until they get it right; professionals train until they get it wrong," Magpul founder Travis Haley says.
Trailer for the three-DVD set "The Art of the Tactical Carbine" (Vol. 1) by Magpul Dynamics instructors Travis Haley and Chris Costa.
Magpul Dynamics offers firearms training that is in many ways tailored to law enforcement personnel. Magpul instructors teach skill-based firearms training they call weapons manipulation that's designed for "prioritizing efficiency and consistency in mindset, fundamentals and stress conditioning." The courses run the gamut from basic weapons skills to advanced dynamic assault in complex urban environments. Several courses are marked "LEO Only." Photos courtesy of Magpul.
He recommended "a wide, sturdy stance" when shooting. His method of finding the proper stance was to build a little wooden box for the shooter to stand in. I've forgotten the dimensions of the box because...well...because it was a ridiculous idea.
Anthony Batts, who was picked to lead the Oakland (Calif.) PD, spoke with POLICE Magazine about his plan to upgrade technology, improve patrol morale, and bring additional resources to a department facing budget cuts and the grief from the loss of four officers killed pursuing a desperate parolee. Batts arrives from Long Beach, Calif., a city with similar demographics, where crime fell in six of his seven years as chief.
The first law enforcement simulators were 16 mm projectors that flickered their filmed images onto sheets strung across shooting ranges. When the bad guy went for his gun, the officer had to fire and then await the judgement of his trainer as to whether it was a good shoot. Today's simulators are high-tech computer systems with digital projectors that play complex interactive scenarios. They are designed not only to teach officers when and how to shoot guns and less-lethal weapons but also how to talk to suspects to avoid escalation and confrontation.

What would it mean if biological and non-biological systems were not just fully connectable but fully interchangeable? That's one of the questions that nanotechnology poses for us. More than any other field of scientific inquiry, nanotechnology operates at the basic scales of biology. DNA, for example, has a rough width of 2.5 nm. Viruses are roughly 20 to 250 nm. A bacteria is roughly 1000 nm. So, nanotechnology spans from the scale of individual biological molecules through the scale of simple biological systems to the scale of living cells.
Earth Day is April 22nd, and there are lots of potential Earth Day - nano ties. Here's a sample of resources, activities, and articles that might be relevant:

We'll be at both the Materials Research Society's Meeting in San Francisco and the Association of Children's Museums Interactivity 2010 Annual Meeting in St. Paul, MN this spring.
It's all-MRS-all-the-time around here lately (see here, here, and here)! Which is fine, because our partners at MRS are lovely. Also lovely: science education and outreach events at the MRS Spring Meeting! There are lots of them:
Last week I posted information about the small grants MRS and WGBH are offering to organize outreach events around the premiere of Making Stuff. Apparently, a lot of folks have had similar questions about the outreach events, so the team wrote up answers to the top questions:
The NISE Net is sponsoring a bunch of professional development opportunities at the upcoming Materials Research Society Spring Meeting in San Francisco, April 5 - 9. Admission is included in meeting registration for all of these workshops, no additional registration is required.
Here are the workshops:
(New!) Technical Poster Design Seminar
Richard Souza, who is leading the Materials Research Society's involvement in the NISE Network, forwarded me this announcement about a small grant opportunity open to our partners. There's more information below, but please note that the application due date is April 1. The grant is for organizing outreach activities in connection with the release of Making Stuff, a PBS tv series on materials science. One of the four episodes is focused on nanotechnology, and nano will be a common thread throughout the segments.
If you're a researcher, there's a big difference between talking about nano with fellow classmates, colleagues, or professors, and talking about nano with hundreds of Museum of Science visitors on a Saturday afternoon. NanoDays at our institution generally means lots of help from a cadre of graduate students. As smart and enthusiastic as our volunteers are, they're also often new to doing demonstrations and activities with public audiences.

Could Be Reneesgotzip's Year in Turf Sprint
With the retirement of Mizdirection, winner of the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (gr. I) the last two years, this could be Reneesgotzip's year to emerge on top in the 6 1/2-furlong race.
With the retirement of Mizdirection, winner of the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (gr. I) the last two years, this could be Reneesgotzip's year to emerge on top in the 6 1/2-furlong race.
With Mizdirection, two-time winner of the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (gr. IT) retired, this year's renewal drew 29 pre-entries, including Reneesgotzip and Tightend Touchdown, who finished in a dead-heat for second last year.
Some have retired, a hearty few race on, but the winners of last year's Breeders' Cup World Championships will always have their place in history. Here we check in with the 14 runners who put on a great show in 2013.
When the World Championships are renewed for a third straight year at Santa Anita Park, missing from the lineup will be one of the most dynamic Breeders' Cup winners of the past two years--Turf Sprint winner Mizdirection.

Coming off a victory in the Noble Damsel Stakes (gr. IIIT) in her U.S. debut, George Bolton and Peter Leidel's Annecdote tops a solid field of 12 older fillies and mares entered in the Athenia Stakes (gr. IIIT).
Trainer David Hofmans, who saddled 36-1 shot Desert Code to win the inaugural Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (gr. IT), hopes to add to the success of California-based horses in the race with Home Run Kitten.
George Bolton and Peter Leidel's Annecdote, in her first start in the United States, went from last to first in a field of nine to win the $200,000 Noble Damsel Stakes (gr. IIIT) Sept. 13 at Belmont Park.
Julie's Love, who has plenty of graded stakes experience, gets a slight edge in the Sept. 13 Noble Damsel Stakes (gr. IIT) at Belmont Park. The $200,000 race for older fillies and mares is at a mile on the Widener Course.
Five Iron shot to a 19-1 upset in the $150,000 Fort Marcy Stakes (gr. IIIT) at Belmont Park when favored Ghurair failed to fire in his United States debut in one of two graded stakes on the turf on the Derby day card May 3.
Irish Mission and Orion Moon, both from the barn of trainer Christophe Clement, face off at Belmont Park in the $150,000 Beaugay (gr. IIIT), one of two graded turf stakes on the New York track's May 3 Kentucky Derby card.
Aron Wellman and Lee Midkiff have grown a fledgling partnership group into the program producing grade I winners such as In Lingerie, Byrama, Capo Bastone, and now Arkansas Derby (gr. I) victor Danza.
