Budding Revolutionaries?
We elected Barak Obama the night before as I flew from New York to Salt Lake. The next morning, the first snows of the year blanketed Utah. Thick wet flakes clung to the each street sign making it nearly impossible for me to find the middle school for our Nametags presentation. I drove around consulting the GPS on my phone, talking to Missy, executive director of the One Revolution Foundation and director of the Nametags Program. I sensed I wasn't getting any closer, and apparently was correct, as Missy found out that the school had moved. Our directions were obsolete. So we arrived a little late, and the first presentation went by in a blur. Six hundred middle school kids in the auditorium, 45 minutes later and it was all over.
"That's the best one you've ever done," Missy said as we waited for the next group to enter. Considering that I'd arrived home at about midnight the night before and had driven around frantically all morning, "best ever" was a pretty big deal. I immediately wondered if I could maintain the same energy for the second event when the adrenaline inevitably waned.
We created the Nametags Program for a variety of reasons:
- Children's minds are far more open than those of adults. Children want to ask questions, they want answers and they are open to different perspectives. Most adults, however, hold strong to beliefs that they created long ago. If we wanted to change perceptions we needed to start with children.
- We need fans. For our project to be successful we need fans. Students provide a great fan base.
- We didn't want our presentations to be specifically about physical disability. I want it to be about all of our perceived shortcomings. There's no better place in the world to feel like you have shortcomings than school.
- We wanted to look at our differences as indications of potential genius as opposed to reasons to be separate. It seems there's such pressure to conform—to be like everyone else—but then we lose the unique part that makes all of us great.
- We wanted to foster an environment in which we could give and receive permission to be ourselves.
- Nametags are literally the labels that we put on ourselves and others.
Starting in the spring of '08, we'd done about 20 Nametags presentations. All had been received well, but as the next group entered something different happened. I can't say that there was a different feeling from the beginning. As usual, Missy and the teachers passed out one of four colored note cards to each student. With those cards I separated the students into four groups and asked why I had done it? Students offered ideas, and then finally I stepped in and asked if we could say it was arbitrary? Immediately, hands shot up asking what arbitrary meant. In hindsight their question should have foreshadowed that I was imposing my own educational paradigm on this group.
I quickly changed direction and said, "Can we assume that it's chance? That there is no reason?" Heads bobbed up and down. Then a couple in the top right corner yelled, "No." Perfect, I thought and asked, "Why can't we assume that it's chance?" This is great, I thought. We can have a conversation, but they wouldn't answer. So, trying to get back on track I asked, "Can we assume that you received this card by random, by chance?" Those same guys, I couldn't figure out exactly who they were yelled, "No," again. At this point I started to get mad. If they wanted to challenge me, perfect, but when they refused to follow through it just upset me, leaving me embarrassed that I was mad and couldn't make sense of the situation. I couldn't focus. I couldn't gain any momentum—the result of two kids undermining my program. I took it personally, which only made it worse. Afterwards Missy said she thought that I might just flip the crowd off and leave, but I so desperately wanted to connect with them that I couldn't give up. The more I refused to give up the worse it became.
Of course, on the way home I reflected on the situation and understood what had happened. Those two kids took my voice. They wouldn't let me be myself, and they wouldn't let the others in the auditorium be themselves either. It was exactly what we wanted to combat with Nametags. Those two kids gave me the perfect opportunity and I totally whiffed. I couldn't see it because I'd grown so mad.
Driving up the canyon I thought, yes, challenge authority. Don't take something to be true just because I say so. Don't take something to be true just because your teacher says it. You're in charge of your learning. Mark Twain said, "Don't let your education get in the way of your learning." In my own school career I hadn't challenged the teachers as much as I should have, but I consider my ski racing to be a continuation of my learning. There, feedback from coaches was a discussion. I wouldn't do something just because they told me to. It had to make sense. I had to understand because then I could use it and then I could make it my own.
Challenge authority. Challenge the establishment. Be iconoclastic. Be like Picasso who said, "It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to learn to paint like a child." Or the Dalai Lama, who said, "Learn the rules so that you know how to break them." Both of those thoughts assume learning the rules. Learn the rules and then break them. Don't do what someone else has already done. Find a way to be unique. Break from tradition. Challenge authority. Challenge history. Make things better.
But have a reason. Have something to say. I was worked up. I thought, "Yeah, challenge authority, break with tradition, but have something to say because if you don't have something to say you're just being stupid."
In my mind I'd answered the question. I'd found the solution, but there are so many different solutions. Nametags assumes you see another individual the way that they see themselves, which is far more difficult than it sounds. Just the other night I read Malcome Gladwell's book Outliers. In it he said that people of different socio-economic backgrounds interact with authority figures differently. Middle class and above are encouraged at home to ask questions—to interact, to challenge. The lower classes usually fall silent.
While my interaction sounded like typical middle school kids trying to look cool in front of their friends, I didn't take into account that they might not have been able to interact—to give me a reason why they said no, and that's too bad. I hope that the next time I will avoid my anger and find a way to connect with the students. As much as this presentation challenged me to the core and frustrated me well beyond my limits, it was the best presentation yet. Adversity brings far greater teaching. And the next time I get unruly kids I will bring them on stage.
In keeping with the Nametags theme, the best question was
Are you happy with our new President?
I immediately thought of Stephen Colbert's congratulations to our new president: "Congratulations to our first Hawaiian president."
Talk about avoiding the obvious Nametag.Comments are off for this post
"The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry."
Robert Burn's poem "To a Mouse, On Turning Her Up in Her Nest with the Plough" and its famous line, "The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry," slipped into my mind as I left Moab. When we didn't get a chance to try for the White Rim Trail record it seemed that plans had gone awry. The trail wasn't open because of ice. We'd brought a new rig,which at one point offered lots of promise, but didn't work at all and seemed like wasted time, but there was so much more. The February Kilimanjaro climb loomed just around the corner and I had no idea how I'd pay for it, as money entered at a trickle and left as raging rapids. We'd wired money to Tanzania for a prosthetic for a porter who'd lost his leg in a rockslide on the mountain. With the new leg he'd join us on the climb, but the money never found the right place. We'd sent money for another individual's schooling, but that money also never arrived. Fundraising and financing were difficult for us, but we'd sent this money. I feared that our liaison Sarah Wallis, would think we'd become like so many who promised to help in Africa but never made good on their promises.
I wondered if my best laid plans were turning into my most feared reality. It hurt because I wanted Sarah to believe. I want everyone to believe, but truth be told I would have borne the same skepticism if I was in her shoes. Feeling the world crumbling around me, however, I maintained an optimism that I recognized from my ski racing days. Often before my best races I had my worst training—many times wondering if I could even ski the morning of a big race. The game was to maintain faith in the starting gate. As more went wrong I maintained that faith. We'd go in February because the most damning line in Burn's poem followed the most famous one, "And leave us nought but grief and pain for promised joy!" You see, in the poem that drew me, the author couldn't see anything but unfulfilled dreams, the pain of the past and the fear of the future. Ploughing the fields he'd ruined a mouse's nest—its warmth and security for the winter. The mouse scampered off most likely to find or build another place, but Burns couldn't get past the bleak prospects. Like the mouse, I still believed.
It's ironic, or maybe just nature, that I was most hopeful now that my proverbial nest had been cut by the proverbial plough, as things had turned even worse. As I wrote two blogs ago, my digestive system has bothered me for years. On Dec. 27 I started an herbal plan (following it to the 'T'), cut out all gluten products and even stopped drinking alcohol just because I wanted to be as pure as I could. I woke early to ski on the morning of Jan. 10. A searing pain drew a straight line down the middle of my stomach. When I got out of bed, a film of sweat – the kind I've only experienced in Atlanta or DC summers – covered me. Still, I thought I could ski but finally had to relent. I told my father, who was visiting, that I couldn't go and returned to bed, sure that I'd be fine.
I woke again just before noon. The pain was there again and the sweat proved even worse when I got out of bed. I called my father saying that I had to go the ER. He called back from the mountain saying that it would take him a while to return to my house. I called 911 for the first time in my life. I sat in my wheelchair, resting my elbow on my bed and supporting my head with hand. Concentrating on my words, I tried to make one lucid dot in the field of pain.
I will not try to climb Kilimanjaro in February. That's been pushed to summer '09. The ambulance took me to the University of Utah hospital for 23 days. My stomach bloated to the point that I looked like I was eight months pregnant. Trauma forced my body to hoard liquid, bumping my body weight by 50 pounds of water. For the first time in 20 years I actually had a butt. My legs held so much liquid that they barely bent. My scrotum swelled to eight times its usual size. The pressure in my belly felt like it peeled my ribs up the edges and pushed my diaphragm down. Breath came in short gasps when I didn't have body-ripping hiccups, caused by the NG tube that went up my nose, down my throat and into my stomach, where it drained the contents from the top, reducing the pressure. I hated the NG tube. They funneled it up my nose and I literally had to swallow it into my stomach as my eyes filled with tears. Once in place the tube created a grating feel and plastic taste every time I swallowed. It also bumped my soft palate causing the hiccups. The NG tube was just another thing I tried to forget during my hospital stay.
Talk about achieving the moment. Pain and discomfort locked me in it. As much as I tried to think of anything else, as much as I tried to relax, the pain always grabbed my consciousness. Relaxation became a game that I tried desperately to win and occasionally felt successful when I felt my shoulders drop.
I dreamed of cold water in a glass bottle. The doctors wouldn't let me eat or drink for almost three weeks. My mouth felt like it was dying. I took to constantly swishing and spitting water and Gatorade, mitigating the cotton mouth and bringing my mouth back to life.
The doctors told me to wait. Patience. Let's wait and see. It could be as much as two weeks. The first morning I asked if I could go outside to do some hill sprints. They looked at me like I was crazy. I figured if I was all blocked up, maybe I could get things moving. No. I didn't ask for hill sprints anymore. On their pain meter of 0-10, I figured 10 meant you'd pass out. For much of my stay I maintained a solid 9. As I whimpered at one point my father said to the nurse, "He doesn't whine." There wasn't much that my father could do. There wasn't much I could do. And there wasn't much that the doctors could do either.
Eventually, they performed exploratory surgery, finding that the urinary tract infection in my bladder had spread inexplicably to my stomach. They cleared the infection and looked unsuccessfully for holes in my bladder. Originally, they thought the UTI had dehydrated me, locking up the fiber from my new herbal program. We came up with a lot of theories, but no concrete answers.
Now I'm at home looking like a fat skinny guy. I no longer look eight months pregnant, but I'm still showing. Meanwhile the muscles in my arms, shoulders and chest melted to the point that they are starting to look like those of a marathon runner. Yet, I'm hopeful.
When I started the herbal program I wanted to be healthy. I hadn't realized just how big my problem was. Now, I'm even more motivated to find health. I have few answers, but that's the beauty. I and those around me will find them. Burns writes in original Scottish, "The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men, Gang aft agley." But the Dalai Lama said, "Remember that not getting what you want is often a wonderful stroke of luck."
I desperately wanted to climb in February, but that won't happen. Not going in February is a gift that will make the climb, the project and, most importantly, my health so much better.
From my treatment by the EMTs in the ambulance, to the ER nurses and doctors, to my daily nurses and doctors, and to my surgeon, my care was especially great. As I lay in the hospital I couldn't help but think how difficult my experience would have been had I been in Africa. I have seen some of those hospitals, and I don't think that I could have made it. Just having a roommate for the first couple of days was difficult. I couldn't imagine sharing a bed with someone else, or my family being responsible for transporting me to the hospital, or not having many of the necessary antibiotics and painkillers. I've said it before: We're looking to assist people in Africa—to give them a bit of a head start, but they've already achieved so much. I look at them with respect and reverence, for I know the pain, but I don't know their strength.3 comments

Dumb Newbie Pet Tricks

Sheesh! I preface all of this with the fact that I am a TOTAL newbie to Macs, so some of this is self inflicted no doubt.
My son got a new Macbook Pro with Lion about 5 Months ago. He was running into compatibility issues with some programs he ran and apparently tried to load (what he thought was) Leopard onto the thing. I think he said it had taken a dump on him so he was forced to reload - I figured corrupted software was likely.
Anyhow - It locked up and all we could get was the reload/disk repair panel after the retry with Leopard.
After a comedy of errors (I know squat about Macs), We used recovery disk assistant on a USB key to try reload from the recovery partition and it scurried out to find other bits and pieces from the internet. Anyhow, after finally finishing that, it died with an exclamation point claiming an install error. Tried that a bunch of times and hours later with the same results.
To make a long story short, I used a Linux disk to repartition the drive and blow it all away, expecting a clean install would fix it all. I re-formatted it to UFS+ (?) I think it was with a single partition expecting the OS install would do whatever it wanted to it like windows does.
Trying to reload with the system disk caused an abort and screen dump requiring a reboot. Checking the disk with Macdrive it turns out the disks were for an Airbook I think it was - had bootcamp on it as part of it.
So I figured - ok - just reload it all from the net.
I booted up, asked to connect to a network, went to get what it needed and then promptly died with another exclamation point and apple.com/support - 6002F Message. Sheesh!
After all the hooplah I had been hearing for years about how Macs are so intuitive, it looks like I got dragged into this in the middle of one of the most questionable approaches to an O/S support strategy ever designed.
In any event - does anyone have any idea how the heck I can get this thing reloaded again? I grabbed a few InstallEMG.dmg files from the web, but could not get them to work. I was hoping to at least get the reload/disk utility screen back again...
I really am a Mac Newbie which I am sure is part of the problem. Coming from a PC background I expected the O/S disks to work - silly me..... And Reformatting the disk expecting it would reload from the internet as I thought it was supposed to was a mistake as well I am sure. In any event, any clues appreciated!
Oh - A question. If I have a .dmg file - do I write it to a dvd in Mac format to boot from it, or does it matter????

By Navy Lt. Jennifer CraggSpecial to American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18, 2008 Many wounded warriors who have served in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom have paid the price for their participation in combat. Depending on that price, many view not only themselves as a hero, but those who were lost.
"I was just doing my job. I think we all were," said former U.S. Army Spc. Susan Downes, who was injured in late 2006 while serving a one-year deployment to Afghanistan. "You know, heroes, I think we all deserve that title. I mean, we're going over there and putting our lives out there. You know, we're getting injured for the people here."
Downes doesn't regret her participation in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, but rather she welcomed the chance to serve her country after her husband was medically discharged in late 2004. Soon after his discharge, Downes made the decision to don the Army uniform and follow in her husband's footsteps. She enlisted on Dec. 29, 2004.
"I missed the military lifestyle. I missed the friendships that [I] made. Just the whole camaraderie … everybody together," Downes said. "I wanted something … more from my life."
Transforming From 'Girlie Girl' to Soldier
Soon after Downes joined the U.S. Army, she underwent six months of training and was sent to Afghanistan to serve a one-year deployment. Then in her early twenties, Downes had to undergo a major transformation from what she calls her "girlie-girl" days of high school. After her training, she was assigned to the 18th Military Police Brigade's 95th MP Battalion, 230th Military Police Company in Kaiserslautern, Germany.
"The excitement … that I was serving my country because of the war and everything and I knew I would probably be deployed [as an] MP," Downes said. "I knew that when I signed up and I was ready to go because… it would make me feel proud of myself [for] serving the country and going over there and doing what I thought … was right and what I needed to do."
Her career choice as an MP was rooted from her desire to join the FBI. "I had this whole big plan, go serve for five years … take some school while I was in there, and maybe go [criminal investigative division] … and, after that, try the FBI," said Downes.
But, as plans often do, they changed for Downes on Nov. 28, 2006 when she was severely wounded in combat while deployed to Afghanistan's Lowgar province, about an hour south of Kabul. She had just returned from a two-week R&R.
"The day I was injured I had actually gotten back from R&R like two days earlier," added Downes. "[My supervisor] asked me to volunteer for a mission, and I accepted as a gunner. And, it was a good morning, it was a peaceful morning."
Downes added that most people probably don't comprehend the beauty of Afghanistan. "Believe it or not, Afghanistan has some really pretty scenery," said Downes. "[On the day I was injured,] the snow was already coming down and I felt really great that morning. I had a lot of motivation, I guess because I was back with my unit and I was happy to actually go back out again."
And, as fate would have it, on her unit's last mission to the area, she suffered such severe injuries that many of the medics tending to her believed she might die.
A Life-changing Moment
On the morning of Nov. 28, snow was accumulating quickly and the temperature was falling.
"About 30 minutes into the mission, all I remember is actually getting cold because the snow had started to fall down really fast," added Downes. "And, I was fixing my neck gator up and that's the only thing I remember."
Downes, who was in the lead Humvee that morning, was in the only vehicle of the three-vehicle convoy that was destroyed in the roadside bomb blast.
Downes and an Afghan interpreter survived the blast, but two others -- Staff Sgt. Michael A. Shank, 31 of Bonham, Texas and Spc. Jeffrey G. Roberson, 22, of Phelan, Calif. – were killed.
Downes believed that her survival was largely due to how she was positioned in the Humvee. "In the truck, I was the lead gunner. [I] had the .50 calibar … [and] I was standing up," she said. "I never sit down because you can't really get any kind of good security when you're sitting down. I think if I had been sitting down in that truck that day, I wouldn't be here."
When the lead armored Humvee was struck, the vehicle flipped on its side, pinning Downes. "The gunner's shield was actually on top of my legs holding me down in the truck," she said.
Several members of her unit attempted to pull her from her pinned location, but were only able to remove her after her unit collectively assisted in lifting the one-ton Humvee.
Once Downes was removed from her pinned location, she would not only lose both of her legs from the knee down, but would also suffer several setbacks before receiving medical treatment, namely, a four-hour wait for a MedEvac due to hazardous weather.
"They refused MedEvac because we were in the mountains and the snow was coming down pretty hard. It was a blizzard pretty much by then," Downes said.
The Longest Day
The unit's only other option to save Downes' life was to transport her to the nearest NATO hospital, and eventually to Bagram Air Base in Kabul. On the first leg of the six-hour convoy to the nearest hospital, she had lost nearly all of her blood supply. Upon arrival to the NATO hospital, the medics discovered that the hospital had run out of Downes' blood type -- O negative.
Downes said the medic in charge had to make a life or death decision for her: He gave her O positive blood in attempt to keep her body warm during the remaining convoy to Bagram.
"The medic in charge that day actually made that decision … so he could keep my body warm," Downes said. "But either way, he said I could have died, but he wanted to at least keep my body war enough until we got to Bagram."
Not only did Downes survive the bomb blast, but she endured 10 hours of life and death survival. For her, the guiding force to remain in the fight was her two children, who were living stateside with their father.
"I knew I had something to live for so, I think having my children, I think that really is what, you know, kept me alive, kept me fighting," Downes said.
Downes remained at Bagram for a few days prior to her transfer to Landstuhl, Germany. On Dec. 3, she was transferred to Walter Reed Army Medical Center here where she remained in rehabilitation for the next year and a half.
While at Walter Reed, an occupational therapist introduced Downes to the idea of using a therapy dog.
"I'm an advocate about these dogs. I want to get every solider a dog. It is … one of my main goals," Downes said.
Since leaving rehabilitation, Downes and her family and her therapy dog, Leila, have moved back to her hometown of Tazewell, Tennessee. Prior to her move back to Tennessee, Downes was hired by a local construction company to manage their administrative department.
Downes now has new goals for herself. "I want to go back to school. I like graphic design, and that's what I want to go into," she said.

Katie Lesser
Creative Manager
The Nature Conservancy
Washington DC
What kind of work are you doing now?
I work as an in-house designer for the Nature Conservancy in Washington DC. I design for the organization's flagship marketing piece, Nature Conservancy magazine. I work closely with the editorial team and digital team to provide art direction and graphic design for both the print and digital editions of the publication.
What is the best thing about being a designer?
Getting to do what I love. I can't imagine doing anything else at the moment. I love to challenge myself and design allows me to do just that with every new project. Working in a creative environment and collaborating with other designers always keeps me inspired.
How did the graphic design program at SU prepare you for the real world?
It prepared me to be a conceptual designer and to always generate unique and powerful ideas fueled by thought and research. Rigorous training in computer applications and speed in a variety of design applications has been a tremendous asset to working in the real world, especially since I must work quickly and diligently on many types of design projects at the same time.
What are your favorite memories of the graphic design program at SU?
I loved working in the Mac Studio and participating in critiques. Those times always facilitated opportunities for students and professors to discuss design in ways that truly made a contribution to my growth as a graphic designer.
What advice do you have for someone choosing a college design program?
Looking back I was extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to graduate from the SU graphic design program, I'd happily go there again. I would attribute much of my success to the individual attention I received from small class sizes and great professors who work to mold you into something special. I've advanced quickly in the profession, and I think my education is a major reason why. The program helped me to discover my passion in life.

I just wanted to add an additional thought to what Alana wrote regarding Senator Rick Santorum. It isn't simply that he spoke about his private beliefs on contraception; it's that he publicly and proudly declared he would, as president, hold forth on the subject (see here for more).
It was Santorum, not the liberal media, who said, "One of the things I will talk about that no president has talked about before is I think the dangers of contraception in this country, the whole sexual libertine idea. Many in the Christian faith have said, 'Well, that's okay. Contraception's okay.' It's not okay because it's a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be." It was Santorum, not MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, who said, "I know most presidents don't talk about those things, and maybe people don't want us to talk about those things, but I think it's important that you are who you are. I'm not running for preacher. I'm not running for pastor, but these are important public policy issues. These have profound impact on the health of our society."
So for Santorum, a man for whom I have respect, to say it's a "bogus issue," that to bring it up is "just absurd" and is an example of "gotcha politics," just isn't right.
I suspect I know what happened. When Santorum made his comments in October 2011, he was an asterisk in the polls, he was trying to gain traction with social conservatives in Iowa, and he views himself as more intrepid than the other GOP candidates. So he decided to separate himself from his competitors.
He succeeded. He went out of his way to find this issue. And oh, how he did. But now he has to live with his words; and blaming others isn't a fair representation of reality.
I can sympathize with Santorum wanting to put this issue to rest. He is, in fact, a "full spectrum" conservative – knowledgeable, informed, and conversant on the issues. But there's a better way to put the topic to rest than to attempt to rewrite history. Why not simply say he made a mistake, that his formulation was awkward and misguided, he regrets it, and move on?

The Carolina Challenge Cup is always a tough tournament for the Charleston Battery.
The Battery has been together for less than two weeks of training, while the three Major League Soccer teams are fine-tuning their final product for a season that starts next week.
Still, Charleston Battery coach Mike Anhaeuser saw plenty of bright spots this week that give the veteran coach an optimistic outlook for the upcoming USL Pro season.
The Houston Dynamo got second half goals from Tony Cascio and Giles Barnes to defeat the Battery, 2-0, in the final match at the 11th annual Carolina Challenge Cup before a crowd of 4,530 Saturday night at Blackbaud Stadium.
Meanwhile, for the fourth time in 11 years, D.C. United captured the Carolina Challenge Cup by playing to a 2-2 draw with the Seattle Sounders. D.C. United won the week-long tournament on goal differential.
Overall, Anheauser said the Battery showed plenty of potential, but still had a good bit of work to get done before the season opener against Orlando City on March 22. The Battery finished 0-2-1 in the week-long event.
"We're kind of always at a little bit of a disadvantage going into the tournament because the MLS teams are a week away from their season and we've just started to train," Anhaeuser said. "I thought we played pretty well in the three matches. I think what you get most out of it is to see who can handle the game from a technical standpoint, from a physical standpoint and then from a mental standpoint. I think that's the biggest thing you get out of this tournament."
The Battery has been together for less than two weeks, some players, who joined the team mid-week, even less than that. The Battery is still trying to find their lineup and create chemistry, which will develop over the coming weeks.
"It's always kind of tough coming out here with only a few training sessions under your belt and competing against teams that have been together for a while," said Charleston midfielder Zach Prince. "But I think we like that underdog role. I think it makes us work harder. I know everyone enjoys playing against the MLS teams. I thought we did well this week. We would have liked to have won a match and score a few more goals, but this is definitely something we can build on."
The Battery managed just two goals during the week, but was able to generate quality scoring chances throughout the tournament. The Battery was especially dangerous during their 1-1 draw with D.C. United on Wednesday.
"We should have scored a couple of more goals against United," Anhaeuser said. "We don't have everyone here yet, but I'm confident that the offense will come. I thought defensively we were solid all week."
One player the Battery will likely be without this season is midfielder Mike Azira. Azira, who has been with the club for the last to seasons, had been trying out with the Seattle Sounders and appears to have landed a spot with the MLS club, according to a Battery source.
Meanwhile, in the opening match of the night, D.C. United's Fabian Espindola got the scoring going early when he converted on a penalty kick after a Seattle hand ball in the penalty box in the 8th minute.
Seattle's Kenny Cooper headed in a shot past former Charleston keeper Andrew Dykstra to tie the game at 1-1 in the 30th minute.
Perry Kitchen gave D.C. United a 2-1 lead with his goal in the 53rd minute.
Seattle tied the game when Marco Pappa scored in the 63rd minute.

Philly fires nearly 4,000 teachers and district employees. What will Weingarten do?
Good statement. What will she do?
Philadelphia has announced the lay-offs of 3,700 school district employees.
AFT President Randi Weingarten issued this statement:
"What was Superintendent Hite brought in to do? Mass close schools even though it makes the corridors and streets less safe for kids and destabilizes neighborhoods? Make draconian budget cuts that strip schools of nurses, libraries, guidance counselors, art, music and after-school activities, and rob children of the rich learning experience they deserve? And now impose nearly 3,800 layoffs so that public schools can't function?
"This is a travesty. We are watching before our very eyes the evisceration of public education in the City of Brotherly Love. And instead of an all-hands-on-deck approach, instead of investing in our children's futures, we see Gov. Corbett and Mayor Nutter sit on their hands while Superintendent Hite and the School Reform Commission have the gall to strip our schools to the bone and blame the very people who work closest with kids—the very people who devote their lives to helping children achieve their dreams. Where are the priorities of the governor, the mayor, the superintendent and the SRC? Certainly not with the children of Philadelphia."
Jerry Jordan, the President of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers issue this statement:
"Today we are seeing what a 'doomsday' budget looks like for Philadelphia's schoolchildren, and how our city's educators are paying the price for a deficit we didn't create. The nearly 4,000 layoffs announced today represent not only hard-working educators who face the very real prospect of joining the ranks of the city's unemployed, but the loss of essential programs that our children need to receive a quality public education.
"The school district will say that these layoffs are a tough but necessary part of financial rightsizing. We say that these cuts are an unconscionable action that deprives children of sports, art, music, counselors, librarians, nurses and other vital programs and services. The impact of these layoffs will hurt our city's poorest children, the ones who rely most on public education to provide a foothold to a better future.
"These cuts are beyond unnecessary—they amount to an immoral act that no Philadelphia taxpayer should tolerate. Everyone who is able to should join us in Harrisburg on June 25 as we demand that our elected leaders do their jobs and properly fund public education.
"It's time to stop balancing the budget on the backs of school employees and students. It's time to move away from year after year of deficit emergencies and cutbacks. It's time to move toward a funding formula that adequately and consistently supports high quality public education for our children."
Good statements.
What will they do?
Anonymous permalinkJune 8, 2013 5:20 pm
What will they do? They'll get behind the next "school reform" panacea that comes along, that's what.
Zorro permalinkJune 8, 2013 7:11 pm
Having taught 11 years in the Los Angeles Unified School District before being laid off and never hired back in 2011, I'd first like to extend my sympathy to the 4,000 Philadelphia teachers who now find themselves in a similar situation.
This is not just coincidental with the school closings in Chicago, the layoffs in Los Angeles and elsewhere, and the variety of state versions of the "parent trigger law" that are now part of our educational landscape.
This is part of a national corporate agenda to privatize public education, deprofessionalize teaching and mine what Rupert Murdoch identified as a largely untapped $500 billion market.
it's time for teachers, parents, and students to say enough is enough. It's time for the Walton Foundation, the Gates Foundation, the Broad Foundation and their corporate schills to get out of education and stay out.
Anonymous permalinkJune 8, 2013 7:50 pm
Are there school closings involved here or just layoffs? This is a big number!
What does "deprofessionalize" mean?
Joni Lindgren permalinkJune 9, 2013 10:41 am
Here's a good word to use: "infiltrate"…this is what the wackos have been doing to our political system. The wackos have been backed by Rove and the Koch Brothers to spew caustic and ridiculous lies. Until we run those of reason and those who use statistics to back their statements, this is what we're going to get.

Art and China's Revolution
written by Melissa Chiu, Zheng Shengtian
Yale University Press | ISBN 9780300140644
Hardback – 280 pages
Member's price: $117.00
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
Although numerous books on the Cultural Revolution have been published, they do not analyze the profound shift in aesthetic values that occurred in China after the Communists took power. This fascinating book is the first to focus on artwork produced from the 1950s to the 1970s, when Mao Zedong was in leadership, and argues that important contributions were made during this period that require fuller consideration in Chinese art history, especially with relevance to the contemporary world.Previously, historians have tended to dismiss the art of the Cultural Revolution as pure propaganda. The authors of this volume (historians, art historians, and artists) argue that while much art produced during this time was infused with politics, and individual creativity and displays of free thought were sometimes stifled and even punished, it is short sighted to overlook the aesthetic sophistication, diversity, and accessibility of much of the imagery.Bringing together more than 200 extraordinary artworks, including oil paintings, ink scroll paintings, artist sketchbooks, posters, and objects from daily life, as well as primary documentation that has not been published outside of China or seen since the mid-20th century, this invaluable volume sheds new light on one of the most controversial and critical periods in history.

Unified communications and visual collaboration solutions have made it easier than ever to work from home. Remote employees can connect with their boss, collaborate and brainstorm with peers, and drive innovation from the comfort of their couch. However, a recent Forbes article raised and important question.
Can working at home hurt your career?
It's a possibility, according to a recent issue of MIT Sloan Management Review which notes that remote employees may receive lower performance reviews, smaller raises and fewer promotions than colleagues who go to the office each day; even if they work just as hard, if not harder.
This is a result of what Kimberly Elsbach and Daniel Cable call "passive face time" or, simply being observed at work. It doesn't matter what task an employee is completing, he could be writing an email to his wife or friend, and still get credit for being present in the office. What's more important for career success though is the "extracurricular face time" which involves being seen at work outside of normal business hours or going above and beyond expectations.
Even though remote workers typically log hours of "extracurricular time" it can go unnoticed by supervisors or peers. Additionally, remote workers miss the crucial "water cooler chat" bonding time with the management team and other colleagues. Employees in the office are able to say hello and discuss weekend plans with upper management when passing them in the hall while remote employees rarely come in contact them.
So, how can remote employees overcome these barriers?
Elsbach and Cable suggest being immediately available at home, getting peers to talk you up and regular status reports. However, UC and video solutions can significantly enable and enhance remote employees' abilities for "virtual" face time. Instead of making regular phone calls and email reports, use instant messaging for quick updates and video calls for more lengthy status updates.
Instant messaging allows for real-time, casual interactions that show an employee is hard at work. However, remote workers must be cognizant of presence information that is available on these applications. Frequent or long periods of an idle status could give the impression that you are not around. If you need to step away from your computer for lunch, a meeting, or any other reason make sure to change your status to "out to lunch," "in a meeting" or "busy."
Use video whenever possible to establish face time with managers and colleagues. Video helps build a relationship as face-to-face communication helps establish trust and can increase the likelihood of others putting in a good word to the management team.
To help achieve extracurricular time, try emailing your boss early in the morning or late in the day noting that you have a few things to discuss when she arrives in the office. Just make sure you are available when she is ready to touch base.
Remote employees certainly have their work cut out for them; but, with a conscious effort they can overcome potential barriers that could affect their career. While they may have to work a little harder to get recognition; the rest of us have to work a little harder getting ready and commuting into the office so it evens out!

When someone asks you what you do for a living, it would be wonderful to tell them you sell money! That is what some Busy Moms do!
Sell What?
I once worked for an insurance company that claimed they sold money because they sold annuities. Well, when you help people drive targeted traffic to their site, you are virtually doing the same thing: selling money.
We can all sell money (targeted traffic) for real online money making opportunities. Busy Moms working online do just that. Big Idea Mastermind Academy is one avenue for selling money for BIG online money making opportunities. This thing is exploding all over the internet and Busy Moms are at the forefront. I want to find out more. Call Me!
What is Targeted Traffic?
Let us review for a moment. Specialized, highly targeted traffic zeros in on the right buyer for the right product. It is a perfect match and is as close to direct sales via the internet as you can get. The targeted traffic funnels to your webpage where your sales offer is located so that buying is just a click away. Remember, if you sell farm equipment, you will not be looking for an audience who is looking to buy music beats. That is why you need targeted traffic. Of course you will place ads where farm equipment is needed most and also where it is blogged about, asked about, etc.
Big Idea Mastermind Academy is elite when it comes to totally specific quality identified targeted traffic. The funnel is super masterminded like a tornado through Kansas. Where does it lead? It leads to selling money and making money. Lots and lots of money. That is why Busy Moms are in the lead. They do not waste precious time, resources and energy on money making opportunities that simply do not work.
A Tornado Through What? Where?
If you have ever seen the inside of a tornado (thanks to the internet, you now can), you will see debris flying everywhere, but it is always contained within the funnel cloud. The funnel spins and moves, traveling quite fast, keeping certain debris contained and kicking out what is not contained within the cloud.
This is how targeted traffic works. The unnecessary is kicked out while the necessary specifics are contained and spinning, traveling with the speed of the web, which means time is of the essence. Right now Busy Moms can sell A LOT of money because the funnel cloud is picking up speed and growing larger as it goes. But funnel clouds do not last forever. I want IN before it blows over!
If you live or have lived in an area of your country where tornadoes are frequent, then you know that there is always a SEASON in which they occur. Right now is the season for Busy Moms to make a killing on targeted traffic. If you are still waiting, then get ready to pick your winning team now because funnel clouds move fast and they are not all the same. Some are skinny and blow over, resulting in nothing. Others are big, full, monstrous and they mean big business.
There is an F5 coming through. Are you in?
Yes! I want to make Real Online Money NOW!

The discourse between the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) and race is a difficult and intense one. The aim of this article is to give a descriptive-empirical description of the relationship between the DRC and race by using the Church Mirror surveys. An altered social distance scale is used to measure church acceptance. In the discourse on race, acceptance and unity in the DRC with regard to racial prejudice and attitudes towards the "other" group have a stronger voice than theological or religious arguments. As a normative task in this discourse, at least two aspects can be pointed out: developing a framework for forgiveness and a confession on racism.

Wigan FanZoner Lewis Tanner has been impressed by new boss Uwe Rosler and the exciting football being played by the Latics.
Uwe Rosler's arrival has brought an upturn in form for the Latics, with the German boss claiming five wins, three draws and just the one loss in his first nine league games in charge.
This is all the more impressive when you consider he's also steered us into the last 16 of the FA Cup, which we obviously don't want to give up without a fight. He's got the Latics playing exciting football again, and after the poor brand of football adopted under Owen Coyle, it's remarkable that he's achieved this in such a short space of time. This will only continue to improve as the players spend more time under his coaching and adapt fully to his tactical demands.
At first glance, seeing the Latics in 10th in the table may seem slightly underwhelming, but a closer look at the standings tells you that that we're just six points adrift of sixth-placed Reading, but with two games in hand on the Berkshire outfit.
However, my initial impression of the Latics' dealings in the January transfer window is one of slight disappointment. I was under the illusion that a decent portion of the accrued sum of around £13,000,000 for the sale of James McCarthy would be reinvested in some new, quality players in January. This did not materialise, with Rosler saying at the start of the window, 'I cannot buy anyone. The money has been spent.' My question to the board of directors would be: what has this money been spent on? If it has been spent, then surely the fans shouldn't be kept in the dark about what it was on. After all, it could have been money well invested.
As a result of Rosler not having the funds to buy players, all signings made in the window were loans, which to me are just a short-term fixes and do not serve the club in the long-term. It's too early to really judge any of the loanees thus far, but on the face of it, they do actually appear to be decent singings. I was overjoyed (and puzzled), as I'm sure other Latics fans were, at Aston Villa's loan capture of misfiring, frustrating Grant Holt, and I believe that getting him off the wage bill was the best piece of business we conducted throughout the month.
One last point I'd like to make is in regards to a certain Jordi Gomez, and in particular, the treatment he gets from some of the supporters. In the final home game of our Europa League campaign - the heart breaking defeat to Zulte Waregem, I'm sure you remember it - I was disgusted at the treatment he received by not just a few sections of the crowd, but by the majority. Yes, he didn't have his best game, but why on earth would you boo your own side's player and then cheer when he gets substituted? What are you hoping to achieve by doing this? Abusing him simply does not provide any incentive for him to shape up. Then, when he scored a brilliant last gasp winner against Charlton on Saturday, suddenly the fans love him! This isn't the first time he's scored the winner for us this season either. Gomez's incredible vision is a potential match-winning factor in any game, and it's vital we back him no matter how he's performing.
So let's stop this fickle nonsense, get behind the boys, and do our bit as the twelfth man to help gatecrash the play-off party come the end of the season.

Air Seychelles has reversed three years of losses, recording a full-year net profit of $1 million for the year to 31 December, a little over a year since Gulf carrier Etihad Airways bought a 40% stake in the struggling airline.
The airline carried 248,000 passengers on its domestic and international network in 2012, it says.
Etihad has a five-year management contract with Air Seychelles and over the past 12 months it has expanded the latter's operation with 19 codeshares and four weekly flights to Abu Dhabi.
Chief executive of Air Seychelles, Cramer Ball, says: "We are going to continue to build our capacity with a second Airbus A330-200, allowing us to start flights to Hong Kong to capture the lucrative Asian leisure market in March 2013. We will also be increasing the frequency of flights to Abu Dhabi, Johannesburg and Mauritius."
During the year, the airline introduced an A330-200 aircraft and wet-leased an Etihad Airways' Airbus A320 to operate on the Mauritius route.

In the first Bb Blues in Mimi Fox's, "Jazz Anatomy", she plays a V min (F min7) instead of V7 (F7) in bar 4.
I usually recognize basic chord subs quickly, but this one seems to have me stumped. It could be very simple and matter of fact--"Sometimes you just substitute min7 for dom7", I guess, but I'd like to pin it down theoretically. I've flipped through one of my jazz blues comping books, and I don't see a Vmin7 sub mentioned in a list of common progressions.
I wondered if it was a temporary modulation, since Fmin7 is the ii chord of Eb maj. It's common to approach a V chord from its ii chord, and it's also common in blues to temporarily treat one of the other 7th chords as a "I" and put its ii in front of it. (so Fmin7 could go to Eb7). But that's not what happens here. F min 7 goes to Bb7.
I feel like I'm missing something very simple, so if someone could clue me in, that'd be great.
Oh...and one gripe. Why didn't TrueFire put the chord type(s) above each measure to make the progression easier to follow in the PDF? There's just tab and notation, but no chord chart.

Former Love & Hip Hop: New York star Kimbella will always have a special place in many of our hearts after notoriously saying "Still look pretty!" after being sucker-punched by Chrissy Lampkin. Personally, I use that quote to this day and will continue to so long as my tongue continues to work. Now, although Kimbella is no longer a part of the show, fret not for her. Kimbella's life continues to be on the up and up.
She's still with rapper Juelz Santana; still collects a nice coin on her own via club appearances; has two cute kids; and yes, still looks prettttttty. 'Round of applause for the ever so beautiful Kimbella. Life looks great.

Who let the dogs out?
Publication Date : 16-08-2012
China appears to be more canine-friendly
Twice a week, Chen Xingzhi and Berber leave their apartment in Beijing's Chaoyang district and walk together to the Yuan Dynasty Relics Park.
Chen, a retired businesswoman, has a group of friends she regularly meets at the park. Berber, a lively 1-year-old teddy bear puppy, is no less gregarious.
"Berber has lots of friends here," Chen says. "It's a really nice environment. He loves it."
Chen is one of a growing number of Chinese choosing companionship in the form of the canine.
But as China's dog population grows, dog owners like Chen remain uncertain as to how good a home the country's bustling metropolises can provide for their beloved pets.
Mary Peng, co-founder of the International Centre for Veterinary Services (ICVS) in Beijing, thinks conditions for canines are improving in major cities like Beijing.
"There are regulations about the size of dogs, but overall Beijing has generally become very dog-friendly. Beijing is on the forefront," she says. "But Beijing is not representative of the whole country, it is the exception."
Chen voices a similar sentiment, recalling that not long ago bans on bringing dogs into public places were more strictly enforced.
"The government is much more tolerant than before," she says. "Previously, they didn't allow dogs in parks like this."
Peng says health concerns contributed to authorities' low tolerance for dogs in the past.
"There was a ban on dogs for many years after the 'cultural revolution' [1966-1976]. Dogs were the primary carrier of rabies, and that was a major public health issue," Peng says. "You couldn't have dogs for many years. You started to see dogs again in the early 1990s."
Rabies still claims more than 2,000 lives each year in China, according to the Ministry of Health.
Peng says two decades after prohibitions on dog ownership were relaxed, fear of disease continues to fuel animosity toward the animals.
Still, Beijing residents aren't letting the possibility of infection deter an infatuation with dogs.
Beijing resident Xian Hui is happy with Tiger, his 3-year-old golden retriever. Xian says he's never been bitten before and isn't losing any sleep over rabies. He thinks most people's fear of dogs is unwarranted.
"Dogs are generally friendly creatures. We tend to treat Tiger like a child that can't talk but is nonetheless a member of our family," Xian says. "People who are afraid of dogs usually just don't understand them."
Xian says he normally walks Tiger around his neighbourhood, but that the two also sometimes venture to nearby Coolbaby Dog Park, located near the eastern edge of Beijing's Chaoyang Park.
Coolbaby offers a space where dogs can shed their leashes and run about within an enclosed, controlled environment.
Zhao Mangang, Coolbaby's manager, says he thinks Beijing needs more canine playgrounds like this one.
"Personally, I don't think there are enough dog parks in Beijing," Zhao says. "I think every district should have at least one."
Zhao thinks the amount of traffic Coolbaby gets on weekends is indicative of Beijing's need for more dog parks. He says on weekends, with about 300 customers, the park is full to the brim.
While Beijing dog owners get by with just a few dog parks, some residents in Shanghai, where dog parks are also scarce, seek an alternative in office building courtyards. The dogs and their owners travel to the courtyards after business hours, when security guards won't drive the pooches away, and convert them into playgrounds for pets.
While China's top-tier cities may not yet be equipped with enough dog parks, some upstart restaurants and hotels are beginning to realise the potential for profit in being dog-friendly.
Pudi Hotel is one of a few hotels in Shanghai that advertises its pet-friendliness. Pudi not only allows pets to venture indoors, but also offers rooms specifically targeted at pet owners, the hotel's sales executive Luo Jiaping says.
Luo says the increasing prevalence of dog ownership in China convinces the hotel to provide accommodations for dog owners. Pudi charges about 345 yuan ($54) per pet, with a limit of two pets in each room.
"Guests love their pets and are willing to pay the rate," she says. "Sometimes they request that we serve their pets the same way we treat a human being."
Hotels in Beijing aren't leaving dog owners in the dust either. Aloft Beijing has been operating since 2008 and is one of the only dog-friendly hotel chains in the country.
"I think more people are treating their pets like a part of their family," Aloft Beijing's managing director Zhang Lei says. "Our company did surveys that revealed many guests want to bring their pets along with them when they travel."
In addition to their Beijing site, Aloft runs 11 other locations across China, all of which are dog-friendly.
Restaurants are also warming up to the pet-friendly trend. The owners of Beijing's Bylace Cupcakes says their policy on pets is flexible.
"We let people with pets in all of our shops. Our only rule is that the animal be kept under control and away from the counter and food for sanitation purposes," Bylace co-owner He Yong says.
"We understand the inconveniences that dog owners go through."
Zhang Xiaoqiu, an animal rights activist with the China Small Animal Protection Association, says China is on the right trajectory.
He thinks the appearance of dog-friendly restaurants, parks and hotels is a promising sign, but that it's still too early to say China is a welcoming place for dogs.
Education, Zhang says, is the key to creating a dog-friendlier China.
"Dogs should always be leashed when entering public places," Zhang says. "Many people don't spay or neuter their dogs, so sometimes they can be more aggressive."
Peng, of ICVS, also stresses that dog owners ought to strongly consider having their pets sterilised.
"Culturally, in China spaying and neutering an animal is considered strange and almost cruel," she says.
She says unsterilised dogs contribute to the growth of stray animal populations and rabies outbreaks.
Like Zhang, Peng says education is key to improving conditions for dogs.
"You have to understand where the country is in its development," Peng says.
"We're only one generation into companion animal ownership. It takes time for education to seep in."
Still, she remains optimistic about prospects for dogs and dog owners in China's cities.
"We're on the same trajectory as any other developing country in the world," she says. "People really love their pets here."
Mary Katherine Smith in Shanghai and Gao Meng in Beijing contributed to the story.

Intarsia is an art form utilizing complex flowing patterns of wood pieces. These designs are as individual as the artist who creates them. Pure intarsia utilizes a variety of wood species to create color and contrast instead of stain or paint. I craft each piece based on my interpretation of the project at hand. By using a variety of custom tools, I create interest in each unique piece by adding a touch of depth and contour to bring out subtle or sometimes dramatic designs.
Custom Intarsia products abound on my site. Please see the webstore for more details. If you have a specific piece or need in mind, please contact me and I'd be happy to share ideas to create the piece you will love.

The Magazine
Jul 26, 1999, Vol. 4, No. 42 • By TUCKER CARLSON
It's not a totally crackpot theory. Smith will probably join the U.S. Taxpayers party, which is already on the ballot in several states. (The likelihood he'll sign up with the much larger Reform party diminished when Jesse Ventura didn't return his call.) And Smith's defection could increase the leverage of the remaining challengers to Bush. In any event, he won't need much money to run -- Smith is happy to drive himself to events -- and he seems deadly serious about staying in till November 2000. And if Bush is the nominee, Smith is betting that, as a third-party candidate, he can pick up the support Bush's failed conservative challengers have left behind.
Every candidate, of course, has a Scenario, the sometimes Rube Goldberg-like series of events that, if executed in sequence, leads to victory. Strategists at the George W. Bush campaign aren't impressed with Smith's. They have no snappy explanation for why Smith doesn't matter. They don't even bother to scoff. Bob who?
Smith seems ready for this. He knows there will always be some who will dismiss his campaign as a mere curiosity. "Some people view it as not even serious," Smith says in a tone that suggests he's passing on a secret. Then again, some people haven't seen the mail that has poured into Smith's office over the past few days. The mail that says Bob Smith of New Hampshire is going to be the next president of the United States. The mail that Smith fervently, wholeheartedly believes. "I think young people are going to be joining this campaign by the millions," he says. "I feel very confident about this. I'm absolutely convinced I can win. I wouldn't do it if I wasn't."
Smith pauses again. He's caught himself gloating. "I'm not trying to boast," he says, almost embarrassed. "I'm just trying to tell you what I think we can do."
Tucker Carlson is a staff writer at THE WEEKLY STANDARD.
