Last April, Stacie Halas was fired from junior high school teaching job in Southern California.
I know what you're thinking, you hate school and a teacher getting fired is no big deal. Well, you are right about the suckiness of school. No one is here to argue that. You should care about Stacie Halas because she was fired because she had done porn in the past.
She used to perform under the name "Tiffany Six", appearing in a total of 22 titles (according to IAFD). She was finished with porn by the time she was hired to teach science in 2009.
Still, when the administration found out because students ratted her out, she was fired. Now she's appealing the ruling, fighting to get her teaching job back.
Ms Halas defense is that porn is legal and she only became a performer because she needed the money. Her lawyer Richard Schwab added after the hearing yesterday, "I think most of us have something in our backgrounds and I ask anybody here to cast the first stone. What happened six years ago has not impacted her ability to be an effective teacher."
The Oxnard School District is standing strong in their belief that having a former porn star in their faculty is too much of a distraction to the learning process and also reinforces poor decision making in their students.
First of all, why are none of these junior high kids getting in trouble for watching porn? Maybe there is a problem deeper than a teaching porn star if this junior high is full of 18 year olds…
Second of all, Tiffany Six was only active between 2005 to 2006. The suspension and subsequent firing would make more sense if she was actively filming porn while she was teaching.
Third of all, it's so sad to see former porn stars get treated like ex-cons when they move on and go straight. The stigma of their past overshadows any chance of them rehabilitating to a normal life. I am crazy for not seeing how doing a little porn is wrong?
We won't get a ruling until the end of the week but I personally believe that she should be allowed to keep teaching. She did a little porn to make ends meet. More people get involved in the business because of their own choice but people still have sex on camera out of desperation. Give the woman her job back.
But that's just me. Do you think Stacie Halas should be allowed to keep teaching?
The district screened a non-explicit clip from No Cum Dodging Allowed 7 where she admits that doing porn is, "…very risky for [her] cause [she] is a teacher".
Also, assistant Principal Mary Arias testified, claiming that students were visibly upset and cried after seeing the Tiffany Six videos. She said, "The incident was so destructive. It was really hard to stabilize the campus."
How is no one paying attention to the fact that these junior high kids should not be watching the porn?
Jeff Chancer, superintendent for the Oxnard School District, provided his testimony where he said that Halas was not fired because of the videos but because she continually lied about it when confronted.
Halas should testify by the end of the week.

For lack of a Kurdish state
August 8, 2014 - Harry Eagar
It is too, too late, but I hope (but do not expect) that Americans are wishing they had looked more favorably on the national aspirations of the Kurds than they have.
RtO has called for America to support a free and independent Great Kurdistan ever since it began in 2008. So far as I know, no one else except Kurds agrees. But consider what would be happening now if there were even a Little Kurdistan.
Well, we cannot know. Perhaps if they had attained their community interests, they would not feel like offering refuge to Christians, Shia Musims or Yazidis. They would surely be of two minds about the Shia, who have been no friends of the Kurds.
Possibly their behavior over the past 11 years has been only cynical, judging all their maneuvers according to how they thought they would play in America. They have not gained much in a positive way, but at least they have mostly managed to present themselves as less bloodthirsty and crazy and incompetent than the others in their neighborhood.
In my view, their strategy has been to avoid antagonizing the American government too much while keeping their powder dry and waiting for an opening to be created by the well-known inability of Arabs to govern anything. Just weeks ago, it looked as if their time had come.
The Baghdad government is not functioning, and turmoil in Syria, Israel, Gaza and Egypt was occupying attention. The Kurds began grabbing for territory and consolidating a government. By sending oil to market, they forced the US government to take seriously their claims (still muted in public) to be a de facto government with substantial claims to practical ability and legitimacy.
The US government hates that.
Then something interfered. Not something unforeseen; it was almost a given. ISIL grabbed the heavy weapons that the US had improvidently given -- didn't we learn anything in Vietnam -- to the illegiitmate, corrupt, incapable and failing pseudo-state in Baghdad.
That those weapons would never be used by the mythical Iraq army was certain. Probably the Kurds expected to get them. Too cautious because of their wariness about antagonizing the US, they were beaten to the prize by the reckless ISIL.
In anything like an equal fight, the Pesh Merga (who, let us not forget are a kind of commies) will prevail against unmotivated Iraq conscripts and timeservers wearing the uniform of the illegitimate Baghdad regime. But ISIL is as devoted as the Kurds are, so the bigger battalions prevail.
But an armed, independent Kurdistan (even Little Kurdistan) could have been an effective counter to ISIL. Whereas the central government never could have been.
Here, it is useful to restate the fundamental error of the Obama foreign policy as regards the Koran Belt (which is completely different from the Bush errors but no less damaging).
Obama bought into the fantasies of David Kilcullen, making him his unconventional warfare adviser, that religion is not important in the political calculus of the Koran Belt.
Guess what. That was completely wrong. As I said in 2009:
"The so-called Awakening in Anbar came about because (we are offered a choice of two) the local tribes objected to bids from the outside Muslims to have them for sons-in-law, or they objected to having their children baked alive.
"One can see why they would object to either, but it is harder to see why, up to 2007, they thought it well to ally themselves with people who baked American children. Kilcullen never explains why we should want such people on our side now (or ever) or care what happens to them. Worse, he acknowledges that the alliance of the Anbar (and similar) sheikhs with the Coalition and/or the central (not national) government of Iraq may not endure. Count on it. The sheikhs were not fighting for a unified, free and democratic state. Nothing could be less congenial to them."
As it turns out, the sheikhs joined ISIL.
What else did anyone expect?
Kilcullen was Petraeus's adviser in the Surge. It is a small mercy that the idiot could not keep it zipped up and screwed himself out of the direction of the CIA. But his replacement has been no better, and the US is still backing ridiculous and hopeless surrogates. Did we learn nothing in Vietnam?

"That's why sustaining a 'unitary' Iraqi state is so stupid."
Petraeus is a fool to anounce to the world he is CIA. In Vietnam, CIA were called "spooks". You don't hear or see them. Spies. Paint a bullseye on his back. Benghazi was covert by such CIA.

Pilgrims left England in protest. Therefore Protestants. To run away, there is no place to hide except Heaven, where there is Peace. That would be the Kurdish state. The Promised Land.

"-- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Abraham Lincoln November 19, 1863"
When we become of the people, by the people and for the people, with Ethics, so can We be again a United States of America. US is not entitled but a privilege.
Aug-12-14 5:50 PM
Goes too with US of A. 50 states divided by religious beliefs, freedom to bear arms, Race, freedom of speech. Divided States of America is in no better position. Civil War has not ended in America. Yet it preaches to the world on what to do. A baby telling grandfathers what is what and how to do it. Elders should take aside America to a woodshed and beat the behind of a spoiled, arrogant, exceptional brat.

It isn't only sectarian conflict. It's also about forcing sectarians to live uncomfortably together in state boundaries that have no legitimacy.
Change the boundaries and the sects would be free (or freer) to develop their own ways.
The Ottomans never figured out how to unite the sects into "Ottomans" so they abdicated government in favor of allowing each sect (millet) to manage its own affairs.
It will be very hard, but not impossible, to unscramble those eggs and create national feelings that are not also imperialistic.
If people have been killing each other for 5,000 years over conditions in southwest Asia, the strategy should be to change the conditions. That's why sustaining a 'unitary' Iraqi state is so stupid.

Catholic State of the Vatican. Christians? Believers of Jesus and Mary but less of God. Knights Templars.
Aug-10-14 7:23 PM
Correction fear not feat ISIS.
Aug-10-14 7:22 PM
Baghdad, Damascus or Istanbul are three sunni groups of Islam. Saddam Hussein was a sunni. ISIS is those remaining Republicans Guards of Saddam Hussein. I assume a reason for Iraqi soldiers to feat ISIS.
Jerusalem is the Kingdom of Heaven. Taken back from Crusaders and Templar Knights by Saladin (sunni). Lost again to Israelites.
The turmoil in the Middle East is a Religious war and a Civil War of Islam extremists. Sunni, Kurds and Shiites. Christians, Crusaders or Templar Knights(Catholics. Again I say Israel is not the Promised Land but Heaven is and Jerusalem is the Kingdom of Heaven. The gateway.
Aug-09-14 5:52 PM
If we take ISIS at its word -- and I do -- then the city it wants is one of the 3 that was the seat of a caliph -- Baghdad, Damascus or Istanbul.
Jerusalem has political significance in today's Israel/Palestinian dispute but did not have in Muslim politics of the past, which is where these guys live.
They would like to have Jerusalem because it would mean the extinction of Israel but not, I suspect, particularly for Jerusalem's sake. Baghdad, on the other hand, would have immense significance for ISIS.
Aug-09-14 2:25 AM
This is a power struggle for Jerusalem. Always has been for thousands of years. Oil if not wanted by Western countries would not be a major income for Middle East, or Persian Gulf countries.
Middle East countries value salt and sugar. Needed to season and preserve foods.
Aug-08-14 11:54 PM
America is in a love triangle. Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites. Not knowing who is the fairest of them all.
America will soon find out that AIDS and Ebola are from the same country. Almost being treated the same way. Lucky no one went into Africa to save those 200 plus young women.

Why is it that so many times in the past (and i am sure i am not the only woman that has said this) i tell myself that i will NEVER AGAIN get into a relationship! I say this every time a relationship fails, and boy does it fail miserably! If its not the guy turning out to be a complete controlling psycho then he is unfaithful! I have been single for about 7 months now, (due to my x's unfaithfulness) and just as i started to relax about hating guys, im reminded just why i did in the first place! I had this 'friend' who i only saw as a FRIEND but he admitted to me his feelings for me a few months back! i did not return his affections, but thats just purely because i need my time to lick my wounds and heal over the past relationship. however he is a great person and a kind man. we spoke about our possible future together when i was good and ready and he said he would wait for me..no pressure! so just as i in the past month start to really feel this could work and start to see him in a different..romantic view…his actions just cement my hatred for men even further! i cant go into why, it would take too long, but my point is why is it that just as u start to relax and feel comfortable with a man, they see it automatically as a weakness and that they now HAVE YOU and can turn into pricks! i never have and maybe never will understand why they do this! why are they so nice, romantic, sweet, never hurt you, never leave you type of guys, then the so called chase is gone, not because we give ourselves to you like ur personal slaves, but because u won us over and we now have loving feelings for you! DUH! that was your intention wasnt it? to make us fall in love with you right? so now that we have, and now that our hearts are open to you, you are going to break them? just like that huh? WELL IM SICK OF IT! i cant help it..im human and im a woman and i carve and want another humans company and love! im a conventional type of woman, i want a life partner and i want a family of my own with you. but the way men act i feel i will never be able to have that the 'conventional' way. the way you pricks act makes me want to RUN to the sperm bank, because i still need ur sperm but i dont want YOU! im so tired and shattered from constantly building my fortress around my heart , only for it to be taken down brick by brick and filled with FAKE LOVE and then have to work 10 times harder to built on the damage! i wish i was a lesbian, i really do because i would gladly turn to my own sex for that companionship! but im not gay! i cant help it i was born this way and since we have no 3rd species of human, i guess i have to self evolve into an asexual to have of spring! this is how you pricks make us women feel!
why is it that even though we give u everything you want because of our love for you, you still turn to the whore in the bar, who can give you NOTHING but her nasty, over used bucket! why? why destroy ur family unit? why break ur wifes'/girlfriends heart, why confuse and hurt ur children for a cheap slag? no seriously why is that worth loosing everything? and then you cry like a little pathetic mess because you SORRY and you wont do it again? hahaha, yea and i just saw a pig fly passed my window! im not saying that women down have affairs and cause the same pain, but then this site would be called something different!
how can a woman who has been hurt over and over again trust a man again? open her heart and soul to a man. i have stepped back and looked at myself too many times and questioned what it is that i have done wrong. its how i can grown as a person and how i can make my next relationship better, but i have come to realize that while no of us are perfect…you men are so far from the perfection line the line is a dot to you!
My mom tells me that im only 25 so i have MY WHOLE LIFE ahead of me to find my perfect man! but momma..im not naive and i grew out of fairy tales along time ago! my father was a deadbeat cheating scumbag, so i dont know how she still has the straight face to feed me these bullshit lines! bless her for trying though.
but she is right, i am still considerably young to have such a cynical outlook on the male sex.
i think men should be made to freeze their sperm from early teenage years and then neutered! so that they can still be fathers but not let their stupid penis ruin everything in the future! they say money i the root of all evil…hhmm..im starting to think its the dick!
so now i actually believe that i will NEVER be in a relationship! i have never felt it so badly as i do now. i jsut cant put my heart through this anymore. im actually throwing in the towel of LOVE once and for all. i went through a stage were i thought i could just be casual with men and never let them hurt me, but im not of that nature and i will always want the perfect family unit, that i never had.
so thank you to the male sex! i will now concentrate on my military career, and visit the sperm bank in my mid 30's so i can have my babies! men will always be weaker emotionally then women, maybe thats why us women keep giving you pathetic creatures chance after chance because our hearts as much as they shatter are practically made from platinum!
and why (as some have suggested) i should go to counselling to deal with my TRUST ISSUES! im a strong, independent woman, as much as i have flaws, i dont need to work on my trust issues, because YOU CAUSED THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE! im not going to waist my time working on these issues, work on thinking with ur smaller head!
i am who i am, and every woman is a beautiful creature, to be treasured and fucking bowed down to! you would be nothing without us, and next time you think of hurting a woman, remember your mommas and sisters and daughters! dont be a hypocrite!

Ford Mustang Boss 302: first drive
Ford says its 444bhp 'Stang out-handles the best Europe has to offer. True or false? There's only one way to find out…
Posted: 05 May 2011
The road we drove down is a TopGear favourite, all blind curves, adverse cambers and broken tarmac. Just like a gnarly British B-road. If a car has any faults, they are not going to be able to hide for long here. We've driven all of Europe's finest supersaloons - M5, C63 AMG, XFR - down the same stretch and all of them had problems at some point. The 440bhp Boss driver would have to work harder, for sure, but it's unlikely he'd get left far behind those costing between two and three times as much.
And it's that value proposition that keeps mugging you every time you think about criticising the 302. Yeah, the steering isn't reach-adjustable, and some of the interior plastics are a little too hard in places. But it's got huge Brembo brakes, Recaro seats, adjustable suspension, super-cool twin-mode engine-mapping, a mad V8, will do 100-metre burnouts all day, and it's a Mustang, damn it.

Famously advertised as "Probably the best lager, in the world", Carlsberg has become one of the biggest brands, not only in brewing quality beer, but for Football sponsorship and also it's early innovation of beer production.
Founded by J.C Jacobsen in 1847, Carlsberg, named after his son Carl and the Danish word for hill Bjerg ( where Jacobson planned to build his brewery ) is sold in 150 markets worldwide and around 35,000,000,000 bottles are produced every year, that's some hangover! The Carlsberg innovations include the invention of the p.h scale and the world first beer fermenter.
In fact the quality and purity of the beer was so great that it was the one and only beer appointed to serve the Royal Danish Court. Available in 3 varieties ( regular 3.8% strength, export 5% strength and the infamously mind blowing "Special Brew" a whopping 9% strength ) the perfect balance of malt and yeast make the original Carlberg light and easy to drink.
Together with it's distictive, timeless "art-nouveaux" label design ( used since 1904! ) and the purity of it's ingredients ( quality symbolised by the hop-leaf symbol ) Carlberg has become one of the worlds best known beer brands and today sponsors many of the U.K's Football events at all levels ( the official beer of the England Football Team, stay off the Special Brew boys! ) including UEFA Euro 2012 and various lower divisions as well as Sunday League football. Carlsberg also sponsor Premiership teams including Liverpool, Spurs and the newly promoted Q.P.R.

The clinching free throw was a swish and as it went in Emeka Okafor began to leap into the Texas night in a way that he never has before in his UConn career.
Okafor and Ben Gordon each had 18 points -- Okafor's all in the second half -- as UConn defeated Duke 79-78 in an NCAA semifinal before 44,417 at the Alamodome Saturday. The Huskies (32-6) will play Georgia Tech (28-9) for the championship Monday night.
Georgia Tech defeated UConn 77-61 in the Preseason NIT, a game in which Okafor was hindered by back spasms.
Luol Deng led Duke (31-6) with 16 points.
Josh Boone added nine points and 14 rebounds for UConn.
The Huskies closed the game with a 12-3 run over the final three minutes. The three came from Duke's Chris Duhon at the buzzer and was meaningless.
UConn's rally overturned what would have been a frustrating loss.
All afternoon the sidewalks of San Antonio bubbled with anticipation. There were folks with signs pinned to their hats begging for tickets. There were two ragamuffins who had hitched from Bridgeport and had turned their bodies into billboards, searching for a hotel room.
The reason for the commotion was quite clear. This was UConn and Duke. Two houses alike in dignity.
Then the tyranny of the whistles took over. By halftime, fans had seen four minutes of Okafor and both Duke big men were on the bench with three fouls. This was Pac-10 basketball run amok and it seemed to sap some of the energy from the Alamodome. At one point, both sets of fans were chanting ``Let them play'' simultaneously.
Not until the second half did this game start to cook.
Duke led 41-34 at halftime but the Huskies quickly chipped that down to four.
This is where it started to resemble UConn and Duke, the preseason Nos. 1 and 2, on the big stage.
As Okafor heated up -- he scored his first field goal with 14:12 left but had five six minutes later -- the Huskies inched closer. They cut the deficit to one on three occassions -- Denham Brown's jump shot with 7:29 left made it 63-62 -- but the Blue Devils responded with a 7-0 run that seemed to finish the Huskies. The key hoop was a three by J.J. Redick with 6:24 left that made it 68-62.
All game he had been tracked by Taliek Brown and Rashad Anderson, but he popped open after the ball went inside and buried the shot to give Duke breathing room.
The Huskies made two critical plays in the final minute. They had erased all but one point of a 75-67 Duke lead and got the ball back after Deng's three bounced off the rim out of play with 44.5 seconds left.
UConn wisely went to Okafor, but his first shot lipped around the rim. He fought for the loose ball and grabbed it along the baseline. He spun to the lane and scored to give the Huskies the lead.

Demon Monks (Also called Dark Priest) are the warriors of the city Hura. They spend their time learning how to better control and combine dark and light magics. They have no counter-parts, however, Arcane Archers often tend to be the ones they lose to. While they do not concern themselves with wether they live or die, they tend to fight to live, using sneaky tactics, and not fearing retreat. Using a combination of dark, light, and demonology, they can adapt to any situation needed. The Demon Monk was the second unique path used in Hura, the first being the Arcane Archer.
Manablades typically focus on balance. They are the only healers in Hura, and are capable of healing most wounds and deseases, although they have trouble with curses. Their physical power is the weakest in Hura, however are still nothing to laugh at. They are the closest thing Hura has to mages.
Rest later.
Once the first stage of their training is complete, Demon Monks will summon a demon of their choice to Azeroth (Summoning it to Hura would cause Hura's location to be revealed) where they kill it, rip its arm off, rip their arm off, and reattach the demons arm. They gain new powers based on the demon, some powers even the demons themselves could not use.
Demon Monk saints are the most common, next to Arcane Archers. Often, there are two-four saints that chose the demon monk path, despite it being the least popular path. This is because, typically, only the most powerful magically are chosen to be demon monks. The Demon Monk saints are feared, because they are known for being the most cruel. The path is difficult because of the incredible levels of mana needed to use saint level spells. Most Demon Monk Saints have large pools of mana, instead of disciplined and talent. It is said that you can tell a saint, because their signature glows like the sun.

Baton Rouge General Announces New CEO
Baton Rouge General/General Health System's Board of Trustees announced last week its new President and Chief Executive Officer, Mark Slyter, FACHE. The 44-year old executive comes to the General with more than 17 years of progressive healthcare experience as a leader in nationally recognized not-for-profit hospital systems throughout the South. Mark is making the transition from his current role as President and CEO of Baptist Health Systems, a multi-hospital system including its flagship 650-bed regional tertiary medical center.
Mark was named President and CEO of Baton Rouge General Medical Center/General Health System after a six month national search process conducted by Korn/Ferry International. His official start date is November 11, 2013. Dr. Evelyn Hayes is currently serving as Interim President and CEO.
Mark's wife Lisa Hennings Slyter, is a St. Joseph's Academy and LSU alum with a post-graduate degree in physical therapy with more than 10 years experience working with special-needs children. The couple has been married six years and has two children Catherine (4) and Emma (2).

A special highlight of the event was the announcement from the Culinary and Nutrition Division of Hospital Housekeeping Systems (HHS) that we reached the $50,000 challenge match they issued with an anonymous community donor. They also announced that more than $424,000 was raised in new pledges and donations.

No Knead Asiago Bread
3 comments | Leave Comment
No Knead Asiago Bread
I always associate asiago with bread, so when I got this Asiago from The Cheese Guy I knew I had to try it with my favorite no knead method. Luckily I have a dairy cast iron pot perfect for this bread and the results were really delicious. You can make this bread with only all purpose flour, but the rye flour adds an extra dimension of flavor. This bread would go perfectly with tomato soup like grilled cheese. I did snag a taste of the cheese before putting it in the bread though and I have to say I loved it raw and could really see eating on a cheese plate or in a salad. Adapted from jim Lahey's recipe
- Prep Time : 5 min
- Cook Time : 50 min
- Ready Time : 55 min
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup rye flour
- 4 oz. The Cheese Guy Asiago, cubed
- 3/4 teaspoon yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/3 cup water
Mix flours with cheese, yeast, salt and pepper. Then add water and mix together to form a sticky ball.
Cover the bowl and let it sit at room temperature for approximately 18 hours.
Lightly flour a piece of parchment and pour the dough onto it. Dust the surface with flour. Fold the ends of the dough in and form a round ball, seam sides up. Cover with a towel and let sit for another 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 475 with a cast iron enamel pot inside for 30 minutes. Place parchment with bread into the pot. Put cover on and cook 30 minutes. Then remove the cover and cook for another 15 – 20 minutes until nicely browned. Mine came out a little dark, but it had no burnt taste.

Step 1: Supplies!
A t-shirt or other cloth material
A bleach pen
A magazine/cardboard/plastic bag
A water source
Step 2: Insert protective lining
Step 3: Draw!
Draw! I just freestyled a griffin head, but you can use chalk to lay down a pattern first for more control. Anything you draw on the shirt will leech a little bit and your lines will be about twice as thick as what you draw.
Watch your fabric. It begins to whiten almost right away. I let this one sit for about ten minutes before moving on to the next step.
If you plan on drawing a big pattern plan to do it in batches. Draw, move onto the next step, and come back to draw some more later. Otherwise parts of your lines will not have the same lightness. You can always come back and do more, but you can't undo anything once it is done.
Step 4: Wash
Wring out the shirt and rinse again to make sure all the bleach is gone.
I don't think that would be a very safe option.... I'm pretty sure if you mix bleach and vinegar it creates chlorine gas...
I made a small "booboo" on the shoulder ( The bleach bled..) ..but that gave me an idea to make flames for next time..!!
I guess it's all in the learning process..LOL
Have fun..and as you can see you don't need to be an awesome artist to transform a t-shirt..Give it a try !!!
Or heck...got a empty mustard bottle? That might work too!
On a relative note, I've watched to resurrect a favorite ruined shirt of mine that somehow got lightly faded bleach spots by doing a handprint like the famous icon of the 1999-2003 television show, Roswell (see below). I've never used bleach before, but do you think wearing some kind of glove and finger/handpainting in bleach would achieve the desired effect?
I made this quick T-Shirt for my girlfriend...Can't wait to make mine !!!
"Drying" time with the bleach on the shirt, 20 minutes, to have these "white" lines..

Top Ten U.S. Medical Schools Abandon Animal Labs: Others Abandon Change
When Duke University School of Medicine dropped animal laboratories from its physiology curriculum this year, it signaled a profound victory in the fight for higher ethical standards in medical education. With Duke on board, not one of the top ten medical colleges in the United States uses animals to train tomorrow's doctors. Overall, 91 of the country's 126 medical schools now have entirely nonanimal curricula. At the same time, schools such as Case Western Reserve University and New York Medical College cling to the practice of using animals despite student objections and the availability of superior methods of study.
For years, PCRM has provided medical students with literature, videotapes, and on-site lectures about state-of-the-art techniques used to teach everything from physiology and pharmacology to surgical procedures. Invariably, student response is overwhelming. Many are eager to stay abreast of modern techniques, many are ethically opposed to killing animals. All are curious, thoughtful, and interested. Unfortunately, some medical school administrators stifle even a discussion about alternatives to animal labs. One student, who arranged to have PCRM's Murry Cohen, M.D., talk to her first-year classmates, was informed that "outside groups" are not invited to speak on this "sensitive subject," even though other medical topics are commonly addressed by outside speakers. Similarly, a lecture at New York Medical College by PCRM's Sam Jacobs, M.D., was canceled by administrators fearful of controversy over the school's remaining animal labs.

Shepherd Garners ACC Crown in Women's Long Jump
April 19, 2013
RALEIGH, N.C. - After two days of competition, the NC State women's track & field team stands in second place with 55 points, and sits just four points behind Florida State with one day remaining in the 2013 ACC Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
Senior jumper Karimah Shepherd, who won the women's long jump with a school-record 21' 2.00" (6.45m) mark at the ACC Indoor Championships in February, matched her season-best for the outdoor season with a 21' 1.25" (6.43m) leap Friday afternoon and became the first women's long jumper in program history to win the conference title on the outdoor circuit.
"It's an honor," Shepherd said. "It's really exciting. It means a lot to me to win the title at a home meet. That was a great, great long jump competition today. Everyone competed really well. I'm just happy that I was able to pull it out."
Redshirt sophomore Tremanisha Taylor earned her second-straight All-ACC honor in the women's shot put with a season-best 53' 5.50" (16.29m) heave. Taylor also finished second at last year's outdoor championships in the event.
The Wolfpack's men's team received an All-ACC performance from senior Brian Himelright in the men's 3,000-meter steeplechase. Himelright made a pass on the final lap to grab third place, stopped the clock at 8:59.60 and earned a place on the podium in the event for the second year in a row.
The men's team ranks ninth in the team standings with 10 points after the first two days of competition.
In the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase, redshirt junior Samantha Norman and senior Erin Mercer recorded top-five finishes for the Wolfpack. Norman clocked a 10:22.51 time to take fourth place, while Mercer was next to cross the finish line at 10:28.79.
NC State will conclude competition at the ACC Championships Sunday, April 20 at Paul Derr Track.

This is no different at Penn State Abington and was evident everywhere over the past few weeks. Beginning with the ACURA poster show, the Bertha Lear art exhibit, the debut of our Maker Faire, and the Senior Art Show at the Abington Art Center, the research, scholarly and creative activities of our students were shining and in full bloom (if you'll excuse my mixed spring metaphor).
I think what also intrigued me was to see the interconnections between the students' work and what I know of the work of the faculty who were their mentors. That connection and yet with the individual expression or idea of the student then taking the project or the piece in a completely new direction shows what faculty student research is all about. Our pride continues at Awards and Leadership Recognition Dinner and culminates at Commencement in May. We are truly fortunate.

KY Fan Offers Wife for Final Four Tix?
Whether it's shaving a unibrow into one's chest hair in honor of Anthony Davis, breaking into an arena to watch the Wildcats play in the NCAA tournament, amending road signs in Lexington or celebrating a trip to Saturday's Final Four with debauchery in the streets, the fanaticism of Kentucky Wildcat fans knows no bounds.
And if a Charlotte man on the New Orleans Craig's List is supposed to be believed, he is willing to exchange his wife for tickets to UK's game Saturday against Louisville in New Orleans.
[Related: Join James Worthy LIVE in Google+ Hangout Before Saturday's Final Four!]
Reads the post:
"I am a UK fan wanting to go to the Final Four in N'Oleans. I have put up my wife as collateral. She can make you speak 5 languages you never knew you could speak. I am not feeling my best so I have to use my sexy mama to get me to the game.
"She is completely game, is a litte (sic) picky, but if you make her howl at the moon while making her speak portugese (sic) or something I don't get out of her then by all means…..have at it and let me see my UK Wildcats!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Yes it is bad to do this, but it (sic) the Kentucky faithful dammit. Look out for the Bluegrass State and hook this pimp up okay?"
Already featured on multiple sports blogs, one has to assume it is a prank, although with Kentucky fans one is never quite sure. So if you are really, really lonely but just-so-happen to have tickets to the Final Four at the Superdome, this could be your dream come.

Lowrance iFinder H20 Plus, there are many like it, but this one is mine.
Bang for the buck, this one is expandable with generic SD memory cards, includes the mapping software, has a very crisp readable greyscale screen, waterproof/submersible . If you are looking for best bang for the buck in a handheld, I highly recommend considering it.
My main requirements were for a detailed map and a track log. Routes were secondary and autorouting...though cool, not that big of a deal to me. I also needed a memory card option so I would have the flexibility to change maps or detail level of coverage areas.
I also sea kayak and needed map software with halfway decent marine detail without wanting to pay for another software package.
I can get very close to ME to FL with max detail, topo, marine nav, points of interest etc. on a 512MB SD card.
Handhelds are more easily portable/transportable and of course can be used handheld as they have their own batteries.
If you are big enough of a nerd, you may be surprised at how amusing they can be. I wind up doing things like figuring out the speed of my commuter ferry or train and generally fidgeting around the map to find out what various things are around me. You can't do this with a unit that needs to be wired to power.
Most any handheld, IMO, pretty small screens to consider reading while operating a vehicle. I have a hard time trying to read mine even in my truck. I can use the speed indicator and things like that, but trying to read street names is pretty much out of the question.
If you don't have the budget limitations I set, the Garmin 176/276, Lowrance iWay 500 and other similar sized units will be lots more readable. Also they have much better features designed to guide a rider/driver along a route while operating a vehicle. From voice prompting to the text boxes shown in the pics above.
For less than half the cost of the bigger units, I'm more than happy with my choice. Do I drool over the iWay 500, you bet. Would I really make use of it to get return on the cost? For me, no.

Sustainable Development and Self-Empowerment: United Nations Adds to the Dialogue
A few weekends ago, I participated in a Model United Nations conference in Chicago. Having gone through this experience and having conducted research on UN policies, I am refreshed to say that a portion of the UN's attention is given to initiatives that establish groundwork for self-empowerment and community development. Both of these items are included in the PovertyCure agenda and are crucial in ensuring that space for people to live out their freedom and responsibilities is created and protected. True progress in self-empowerment and community development is made when the human person is allowed to unleash his/her creative potential.
Representing France on the Commission on Sustainable Development, my delegation partner and I, along with around 50 student delegations representing different countries, discussed, researched, and proposed solutions to improve rural development and sustainable agriculture practices. Although each delegation had a slightly different take on these issues, reference was made to key UN reports, and discussion was based on framework provided by Agenda 21 and the Education for Rural People Initiative, among a multitude of other initiatives.
Agenda 21, one of the cornerstones of UN sustainable development, is a "comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment." Portions of the document focus on strengthening the role of NGOs, recognizing the role of local farmers and communities in the development process, and engaging women in sustainable and equitable development. Through the plan, the UN encourages creation of local and village organizations, whose prevalence can lead to decentralization of the decision making process. When the government's role is reduced, through decentralization, the ability of human potential to flourish is much greater.
The French delegation (AnneReneé Parks and I) American Model United Nations 2011
Education can foster the need for decentralization and promote sustainability of locally based initiatives. Unfortunately, not all people have access to this education, lessening their ability to compete on the global or even local market. The Food Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has fostered the Education for Rural People Initiative (ERP) which aims to overcome the urban/rural gap in education, to increase access to and the quality of basic education for rural people, and to build awareness of rural education in the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. Decentralization can be the first step to greater community involvement, notes the ERP. Once a skill is learned it can be shared with those nearest to them. This "locals teaching locals" method, a byproduct of the decentralization system, is an efficient pedagogical style which unleashes power to communities rather than large government education entities. The principle of subsidiarity is a key component of the education and sustainable development process as it recognizes the ability of perfectly capable human beings to operate effectively.
Nepal, a country with one of the lowest literacy rates in the world, has greatly benefitted from a shift to community-managed schools. The 1999 Local Self-Governance Act permitted these transfers, and by 2006, over 2, 200 previously government-run schools in 62 out of the 75 districts in the country had been turned over to local communities, according to an ERP report. International development organizations and agencies, such as the Community-Owned Primary Education Program (COPE), a program of the United Nations Development Program, as well as national and local NGOs, were called upon to ensure a greater probability of success. Data shows that the transfer has been successful. In a survey of 30 selected community schools covering 10, 000 households, the World Bank's International Development Association found that the number of out of school children (5 to 9 years of age) decreased from 41 to 15 percent and out of school girls from 42 to 15 percent. The FAO also notes that rural education benefits from the introduction of policies that promote increased interaction among research institutions, the private sector, and the government.
Community education that focuses on a specific skill can be of equal importance. A PovertyCure partner, Partners Worldwide, has created a comprehensive program in Uganda which combines farming, business, and sustainable agriculture education. Farmers in Gulu, Uganda are provided with a team of oxen, offered by Talanta Finance, a local business affiliate of Partners Worldwide. Before receiving the oxen, Talanta Finance business owners provide farmers four days of training in agronomy, business skills, and record keeping, in order to ensure the sustainability of each farm. Learning to view farming as a business, rather than a separate operation, has caused increases in productivity and income. "It enables them to take control of their lives and restore their sense of dignity by having their own source [of] livelihood," says Francis Ssennyonjo, Partners Worldwide partnership manager of Uganda.
Vital to success in any industry is having access to the market. A person can produce as much as they want, but as long as the market is not open to sale of these goods, this production will not be beneficial. Doug Seebeck of Partners Worldwide uses a commonly recognized proverb to demonstrate this scenario. "Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime." According to Seebeck, this saying is not quite complete. People know how to fish, now they just need access to the pond.
Also essential to any business start-up is having financial means. Large multi-lateral or state-to-state aid packages do not always provide sustained support for individuals or communities and have potential to create patterns of dependence. Microfinance, heavily supported by PovertyCure, and recognized by the UN as having played a significant role in the fight against poverty, is an important piece of sustainable development. It allows individuals and communities to be self-empowered and to come to realize the value work has for themselves and others.
In 2005, the UN launched the International Year of Microcredit in an effort to build support for making financial services more accessible to poor and low-income people. Prior to its launch, José Antonio Ocampo, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs proclaimed, "By viewing poor people as vital contributors to their local and national economies, the International Year of Microcredit 2005 has the potential to unleash a new wave of microentrepreneurship, giving poor and low-income people a chance to build better lives."
General Assembly President Joseph Deiss reaffirmed in October 2010 the essential role played by microfinance in reaching the Millennium Development goals, noting, "improvement of women's access to financial services, their consequent empowerment and the indirect positive effects on children's school enrolment and health care as proof of that fact."
Along with microfinance, increased education initiatives, and plans to improve sustainable agriculture and rural development, the UN recognizes the importance of foreign direct investment. By improving basic infrastructure, institutions for rule of law, and the transfer of technology, among other things, industries and sectors are made more appealing for investment. NGOs and private sector efforts can facilitate many of these improvements. The UN advocates for better dialogue between the private sector, government, and civil society, recognizing that each has important insights and actions to contribute. Communication can also foster increased responsibility, acknowledging the capabilities of each entity and their role in society.
The United Nations provides many different approaches on a variety of different issues, including poverty alleviation and sustainable development. As when looking at all mega agencies, it is important to tread carefully, looking deeper into the underlying policies these actions contain. The United Nations uses all the right rhetoric, but its general lack of transparency makes it difficult to appraise efforts that from the outside look very appealing. Solutions proposed by the UN do indeed include international and state-to-state aid initiatives. Although in the wake of humanitarian disasters or international crises this aid is very necessary, prolonged distribution does not often provide long-term benefit, and furthermore usurps the power of the human person to provide prosperity for him/her self and the community he/she is a part of.
Support given for the self-empowerment initiatives and sustainable development plans listed above is only one part of the UN agenda, but it is important to recognize that it does exist. As member states become enlightened by the success of NGOs and locally based initiatives, hopefully more attention will be given to plans that unleash the capability of the human person. For an international body as large as the UN to hold some stake in these initiatives shows that considerable progress is being made. Traditional forms of aid distribution are beginning to face competing methodologies, as more creative and situation-tailored plans of action are being created.

Apple launches iPod recycling program

Jobs defends Apple's record on environmentApril 21, 2005
Customers who return a music player to one of the company's 100 retail stores across the United States will get 10 percent off the purchase of a new one. Apple pledged to dispose of all the iPods brought in for free. To be eligible for the offer, people must bring in a standard iPod, an iPod Mini or the photo version, and use the discount the same day.
The move should appease critics of Apple's environmental record, who protested outside its headquarters during an annual shareholder meeting in April. Inside the meeting, a representative of an environmentally oriented mutual fund questioned Apple CEO Steve Jobs specifically about the Mac maker's recycling program.
The company promised to process returned iPods in the United States and not to ship the hazardous materials they contain, which include lead, overseas.
On Friday, Apple's share price fell on a report from Web Appleinsider.com that the company is overstocked with tens of thousands of iPod models. Some analysts have put the stockpile down in part to slowing demand for the devices.
In the past, however, the company has seen its profits and stock price soar on the popularity of the iPod portable music player, which it introduced in 2001. The company sells more digital music players than anyone, with consumers buying more than 5 million of them over the course of January, February and March alone. >
Critics have blasted Apple for the fact that the iPod's battery is difficult and expensive to replace, giving consumers an incentive to throw them out and buy new ones. Apple recently agreed to extend service warranties and replace batteries for free in certain cases. The agreement is part of Apple's settlement of several class action suits related to iPod battery complaints.
Green Century Capital Management, the investment firm that raised questions at Apple's annual meeting, praised the new recycling program.
"We're very happy to see Apple take this step," Andrew Shalit, a shareholder advocate at Green Century said in a statement. "As shareholders, we see it as a way to increase foot traffic in Apple Stores and increase iPod sales. As environmentalists, we know that it will reduce the amount of toxic waste in our landfills and help consumers understand that electronics manufacturers can and should take responsibility for e-waste."
However, the investment group is urging the company to do more to combat waste. Specifically, it said it will press Apple to expand its free recycling program to cover computers and monitors and accomodate consumers who don't live near an Apple Store.Environmental groups have been sounding the alarm for some time over the volume of waste generated by the electronics industry. The issue is starting appear on the U.S. legislative agenda, with several states passing electronics recycling laws and federal lawmakers forming a committee to study the issue at a national level.

- Why
- can anyone tell me why I should give an older iPod back? They have changed only slightly, and especially not aesthetically. If my "older" iPod still works fine I hope I can sell a $300 toy more more than 10% of the price of a new one. It's like 2 years old. They all play back the same files. The only reason to do so is the defective battery, but if you have minimum brains you can just replace it yourself -a non-OEM batt costs $15 on eBay. So 1 in a million explode, it's not like it keep this on my bare body. It would have been cheaper for Apple to have made the batteries removable, but that might be a hazard to their planned obsolescence.

- If it is broken.
- The only reason I can see for returning an iPod through this type of scheme is if it is genuinely broken. If you've dropped it one too many times, it may wind up cheaper (or more desirable) to buy a new one, than to send the old one to Apple and pay for refurbishing/repair.
Or, for those with the extra pennies, it will be a good way to get a little discount if you are wanting to upgrade, for example, if the 20GB is no longer big enough and you need a 60GB.
The biggest incentive from Apple's perspective is, as the article said, a ruse to get people into the shop. Once they are in, the likelihood of them buying something else or being talked into buying a more expensive replacement iPod is much higher.

I continue to think that the death of printed books is hugely exaggerated. And here's the latest reason why I continue to believe that:
Apple's iPad can do movies, music, e-mail, apps and rich Web browsing. And of course, e-books. Should Amazon just put its comparably basic e-reader, the Kindle, to sleep?
Not so fast. Sleep experts say using the iPad before bed can affect sleeping habits unlike most other e-readers. . . .
Light-emitting devices, including cellphones and yep, the iPad, tell the brain to stay alert. Because users hold those devices so close to their face, staring directly into the light, the effect is amplified compared with, say, a TV across the room or a bedside lamp, said Frisca Yan-Go, director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center in Santa Monica.
And, of course, printed books are absolutely, positively guaranteed to not give you cancer.

Blake Shelton on 'The Voice' 'Will the Circle Be Unbroken?': 'That's not the version I grew up with'Add to Favorites | The Voice
On Tuesday night's (Nov. 26) "The Voice" live show, the Top 8 contestants performed "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?," backed by Seattle's Starbucks Chorus, a vocal group that raises money for local charities. But after the performance, the Twitterverse erupted with complaints that the word "Lord" was dropped from the lyrics.
Backstage, "Voice" coach Blake Shelton was still trying to get to the bottom of why it happened.
"I don't know what, uh -- how it happened, or -- I'm learning about it just like you guys are," Shelton tells Zap2it. "I was sitting in my chair singing that song how I grew up on it, with 'in the sky, Lord, in the sky.' I sang it as loud as I could. And that might be why I didn't realize until after the fact that 'Lord' was either taken out, or it was just performed some other way."
As for why the lyric was dropped, it's a mystery to Shelton. "I've heard -- you know, in the twenty minutes I've had since the show ended to come in here -- a lot of different reasons why it was that way," he says. "I know it was performed -- and it's meant for a good cause, and they're trying to raise some money. And that's a good thing. But I will say, that's not the version I grew up on. And that's not the version I was singing sitting in my chair, if that clears up anything [about] where I stand on this thing."
"Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" was written by Ada R. Habershon as a Christian hymn, and it should be noted a hymnal page from 1908 (seen below) does not actually mention the word "Lord." But it also doesn't use the word "oh," which replaces "Lord" in "The Voice" performance. "The Voice" version also skips the verses that mention "Saviour" and "Heaven."
Though the hymn chorus does not, the modernized version of the song lyrics most often dp include "Lord." A 1935 country music version of the original hymn with "Lord" added was made famous by The Carter Family, and later performed by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, among others. Johnny Cash sang the chorus with "Lord" intact in 1968's "Daddy Sang Bass." He can be seen performing his version in the video below.
"The Voice" contestants would presumably be covering the published, modern country western song, and not a century-old hymn, right? So, why the change from "Lord" to "oh?" Executive producer Mark Burnett had the same question.
"Especially for those of us who know this song from church so well ... I realized immediately what had happened," Burnett tells Zap2it. "I thought I'd misheard on the sound. Then came the next chorus, and I'm like, 'OK, it's live TV, so I've got to wait until the next commercial break. I'm running over there and asking the question.'"
As it turns out, Burnett says for the song to be provided to fans free on iTunes, "The Voice" had to use the public domain version (which would be the hymn). Though it's still unclear why the word "oh" was added.
"My mistake was I assumed that the public domain version has the word 'Lord' in it," Burnett says.
According to Burnett, Starbucks also was unaware of the lyric discrepancy.
Later in the evening, Shelton continued to field angry tweets about the dropped lyric. "Be our voice Blake and let the bosses know how disappointed we are," one fan writes. Shelton's response? "Will do."

50.5 x 166.7 cm
This shawl ('phaa biang') is woven with a banded design of white, yellow, blue and green supplementary weft weaving on a red silk ground. The ends are decorated with bands of highly stylised river dragons ('ngueak'), although more recently they have been called 'naak' (mythical serpent). The centre of the cloth is decorated with a pattern of stripes alternating with an eight-pointed star motif and half diamonds with stylised floral designs. The style of the piece indicates that it is a Muang Phuan type. Lao-Tai women wrap phaa biang cloths around one shoulder and the torso. These cloths are also used for healing practices ('phaa sabai'), as head wraps ('phaa khan soeng'), and as shoulder cloths ('phaa phai'). As a curative cloth, the textile was believed to be powerful enough to help the healing process through its combination of colours and motifs.
