Blind To The Truth
I completely agree that for the most part people need to stick with their own race. If people are all mixing there will be no white population left. People wont even know their own heritage because they are so mixed! I can understand if an interracial couple fall in love but what I dont understand (and what really gets me heated) is specifically black men who are all trying to hook up specifically with white women. I'm sorry, but I really look down on these women as being dirty because of it and I would not want to be with a woman who has slept with black men. As far as using the N word goes...I use it to describe someone as being ignorant and to be quite honest it just so happens that majority of ignorant people are black
How does a trans person have any hatred towards anyone?!? Who/what do you think you are?
And you logic is terrible. To think that White heritage could be washed away by mingling with other races is beyond ridiculous. Trust me when I tell you that Whites are safe and plenty in number.
Lastly, it shouldn't matter to you who anyone else dates since it's not your business. I wouldn't let anyone **** with my trans friends or my white wife and if you were my friend if look out for you, too. Don't be like that. It's silly. Granted you wroth this f I've years ago? I hope you're straightened out by now. Peace!
So your a trangender that is the most disgusting thing.
I'm black and fine this post ignorant. Who said the white race had to be the only race? There's nothing wrong with diversity and you can't say that specifically black men try to hook up with white girls, that is so ignorant, I've seen many different couples together and nothing's wrong with it, if ones black and ones white it doesn't matter, if they're both men it doesn't matter, just love be love.
As a biracial person, half black American and half Israeli Jew I couldn't agree more. So many black men and my birth mother had to go hook up with a damn Jew!
This one guy told me that if you go black you won't go back.. then this other guy of the other race told me if you go black you can't go back. I have known a lot of girls that went with black guys and regretted it because the white guys avoided them. So i never did it and don't really want to, I like my own kind. Nothing wrong with that its a preference (I have my reasons). But also respect other peoples preferences and don't have a problem with it.
This is what I agree with
I can understand if an interracial couple fall in love but what I dont understand (and what really gets me heated) is specifically black men who are all trying to hook up specifically with white women.
This is what I disagree with
I would not want to be with a woman who has slept with black men. As far as using the N word goes...I use it to describe someone as being ignorant and to be quite honest it just so happens that majority of ignorant people are black
you cannot say that the majority of black people are ignorant. What you have to go on is limited, ie your environment and tv
What a sad ****.
why should anyone care what race you are to date or to be married the only thing that matters is if they love or likr them it really doesnt matter bout race if u think about it
Oy, and I wonder why the world is as phuqued up as it is.

People like you, keep screwing and spewing hate, and please, use birth control, and do not reproduce.

You are an ignorant
Jerrica, you are right. this is why i'm careful with what stories and views i post here. although i disagree with Adam's views on this subject, i have to say that i understand, based on his experiences. i have had negative experiences with some people before in my past too and this has (for lack of a better word here) coloured how i feel about some generalised populations. i'm working on healing myself though and finding my tolerances and beliefs again. Adam, i admire you for sharing these beliefs even if i disagree.
There is no such thing as a "race"... it's just a social construct. Genetically we are all the same and we all came from the same line of origin. A "race" does not have any prescribed genetic behaviors that would make them act in a certain way. To ignore this fact would be as you put it being "Blind To The Truth".
and you're entitled to your opinion but you can't post something like this and not expect to have some heat come down on you. that's being naive in my opinion. we all run the risk of having opposing opinions on our stories. i don't know why people don't anticipate this more. i know i do.
All human beings were created by god, The climate,food and the environment changed humans nature and colour. We r on the 21st century better to look forward rather than going in ''Homo Sapien'' era.
Racist and proud of it, huh?

I find it refreshing to learn that every single human alive on earth, regardless of race, is related to one single African male who scientists, for obvious reason, have named Adam. Every random DNA test done so far confirms this.

What this means is that all so called racial characteristics have developed over the past 65,000 years and have done so because human tribes migrated and their evolution occurred in a certain degree of isolation.

So, I'm glad to know that mixing all the current races will just take us back to where we started, 65,000 years ago. Think about it, you'd then have one less census question to answer and you'd never have to waste money on going to a tanning salon ever again.
I'm not here to judge you. I understand the root of why you think and feel this way, but really, you have to let that go. Don't allow a bad experience to warp the way you feel forever.

I love you regardless.
black and white hooking up, it's not all on the black man's side. plenty of white women can't stay away from the black men too. most men on here want to see their woman with a black man, you're the minority it seems. but i do take issue to your saying that the majority of ignorant people are black. i don't think ignorance knows any one race or color.

|Bayesian analysis of birth weight and litter size in Baluchi sheep using Gibbs sampling.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10229348 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Variance and covariance components for birth weight (BWT), as a lamb trait, and litter size measured on ewes in the first, second, and third parities (LS1 through LS3) were estimated using a Bayesian application of the Gibbs sampler. Data came from Baluchi sheep born between 1966 and 1989 at the Abbasabad sheep breeding station, located northeast of Mashhad, Iran. There were 10,406 records of BWT recorded for all ewe lambs and for ram lambs that later became sires or maternal grandsires. All lambs that later became dams had records of LS1 through LS3. Separate bivariate analyses were done for each combination of BWT and one of the three variables LS1 through LS3. The Gibbs sampler with data augmentation was used to draw samples from the marginal posterior distribution for sire, maternal grandsire, and residual variances and the covariance between the sire and maternal grandsire for BWT, variances for the sire and residual variances for the litter size traits, and the covariances between sire effects for different trait combinations, sire and maternal grandsire effects for different combinations of BWT and LS1 through LS3, and the residual covariations between traits. Although most of the densities of estimates were slightly skewed, they seemed to fit the normal distribution well, because the mean, mode, and median were similar. Direct and maternal heritabilities for BWT were relatively high with marginal posterior modes of .14 and .13, respectively. The average of the three direct-maternal genetic correlation estimates for BWT was low, .10, but had a high standard deviation. Heritability increased from LS1 to LS3 and was relatively high, .29 to .37. Direct genetic correlations between BWT and LS1 and between BWT and LS3 were negative, -.32 and -.43, respectively. Otherwise, the same correlation between BWT and LS2 was positive and low, .06. Genetic correlations between maternal effects for BWT and direct effects for LS1 through LS3 were all highly negative and consistent for all parities, circa -.75. Environmental correlations between BWT and LS1 through LS3 were relatively low and ranged from .18 to .29 and had high standard errors.

The intent of this policy is to provide consistency in the identification and reporting of child victimization in an effort to help identify all children who have experienced violence. Its intent is to also ensure in cases of child victimization that mandated reporters are aware of their responsibility to report suspected child victimization and to provide resources to strengthen families so they are able to ensure the safety of their children. Mandated reporters serve a pivotal role in the identification and reporting of child victimization, and they are often the child's first contact after victimization has occurred. Mandated reporters have great diversity in the services they provide and the professional ethics that guide their practice. Maintaining clear policies will assist the mandated reporter in meeting their reporting responsibilities.

|Formation of salivary acinar cell spheroids in vitro above a polyvinyl alcohol-coated surface.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18671268 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Tissue engineering of salivary glands offers the potential for future use in the treatment of patients with salivary hypofunction. Biocompatible materials that promote acinar cell aggregation and function in vitro are an essential part of salivary gland tissue engineering. In this study, rat parotid acinar cells assembled into three-dimensional aggregates above the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-coated surface. These aggregates developed compact acinar cell spheroids resembling in vivo physiological condition, which were different from the traditional monolayered morphology in vitro. Cells remained viable and with better functional activity in response to acetylcholine in the spheroids and could form monolayered acinar cells when they were reinoculated on tissue culture polystyrene wells. To interpret the phenomenon further, we proposed that the formation of acinar cell spheroids on the PVA is mediated by a balance between two competing forces: the interactions of cell-PVA and cell-cell. This study demonstrated the formation of functional cell spheroids above a PVA-coated surface may provide an in vitro system for investigating cell behaviors for tissue engineering of artificial salivary gland.

Relevant/industry-approved curriculum:
At the request of local industry, the faculty of the School of Engineering at the University of St Thomas researched, developed, and reviewed the Systems Engineering program to ensure that it would meet the needs of local and regional industries. Interaction with industry and meeting their needs has been the cornerstone of the School of Engineering.
The Master of Science degree in Systems Engineering will prepare engineers and related technical professionals for a career in systems engineering. It will prepare engineers who demonstrate lifelong learning, ethical behavior, sensitivity to cultural needs in the design and development of systems, and inclusion of people from traditionally underrepresented groups.
The curriculum is multi-disciplinary and oriented toward industry needs. Faculty with industry experience teach classes based in theory and emphasizing applications relevant to the regional industries.
Effective fall 2015, to complete the requirements for the Master of Science in Systems Engineering, students must successfully complete 10 courses (30 graduate semester credits) and maintain a GPA of at least 2.7.
REQUIRED COURSES AND ELECTIVES (10 courses = 30 total credits)

Which leaves me one pack to have before bed. I can't sleep if I'm hungry!! Let me know how you get on with the carbonara one....as I have high hopes!!! How r u getting on with your water??
The carbonara was actually really nice, it actually had a decent amount of pasta in it abd tasted cheesy :) it did come out a bit soupy though, would probably add less water next time.
I had the curry one.......it was delish!!! I brought a starter pack and it only has two curry ones in it :-( I think i'll try the carbonara tonight........................well here goes day 2 ladies! xxx
Hi All... I'm on day 1 today too. I had the strawberry shake for breakfast, it was much nicer than I was expecting really. This is my first time trying a VLCD but looking through the messages on here has helped motivate me and I think I'll be needing a lot of that!
Good Luck everyone! x

Wool and linen; 18 1/2 x 24 in. (47 x 61 cm), excluding tassels and cords
Purchase, Friends of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts Gifts and Rogers Fund, 2006 (2006.263)
A fine example of English amateur embroidery of the late 1600s, this work bag bears the initials of the young needleworker who made it, IS, who also added the date, 1669, and her age, ten. the bag, which would have been used to store embroidery implements and supplies, is decorated on both front and back with red wool thread, primarily in a double running stitch, on a linen foundation.
Embroidery was an essential component of female education in England in the seventeenth century; students generally completed at least one sampler displaying a variety of techniques and designs. By the mid-seventeenth century, the repeating border designs worked on samplers had become anachronistic in the contemporary design vocabulary, having been derived from sixteenth-century pattern books produced on the Continent and adapted by English publishers. To find an old-fashioned border design on a practical object like this work bag is unusual. Yet the detached motifs in the carefully organized yet lively designhuman figures; native plants and flowers, including strawberries, acorns, and honeysuckle; heraldic animals such as lions, leopards, and stags; and more prosaic creatures such as birds and caterpillarsare typical of those found on English embroidered textiles throughout this era.

City announces sites for electric vehicle charging stations
October 14, 2010
By Warren Kagarise
NEW — 8 a.m. Oct. 14, 2010
The city plans to install a pair of charging stations at City Hall Northwest soon, as part of a regional push to create a network of charging stops to juice up electric vehicles.
The stations lay the groundwork for all-electric vehicles to be used in commuter vanpools traveling to and from Issaquah.
City staffers and other commuters plan to use the King County Metro Transit vanpools. The transit agency is due to provide the vehicles by the early next year.
The effort is funded through a U.S. Department of Energy petroleum-reduction grant. The agency awarded the grant to the Puget Sound Clean Cities Coalition; Issaquah is a coalition member.
The city announced the program Wednesday, less than a month after County Executive Dow Constantine outlined a plan to add more than 120 charging stations across the region.
In addition to the City Hall Northwest stations, Issaquah is in line to receive up to 12 stations at the Issaquah Highlands Park & Ride. The highlands stations should come online next year.
"This is great timing, as the nation's first commercially-available electric vehicles will be hitting the market soon," Mayor Ava Frisinger said in a news release. "We're excited to make electric vehicles more accessible — both to our staff and the general public."
The first all-electric car from a major auto manufacturer — the Nissan Leaf — should roll onto dealership lots in December.
In addition to the City Hall Northwest project, Issaquah could add up to 10 more charging stations if the city can secure funding. Other sites under consideration include zHome — the eco-friendly townhouse development under construction in the highlands — and Eastside Fire & Rescue Station 72, another "green" project under construction next to the Issaquah Transit Center.
City Council members paved the way for the additions in August, by adding electric vehicle language to the city code and allowing charging stations throughout the city.
Meanwhile, planners continue to develop a city ordinance related to a citywide electric-vehicle network.
"This ordinance will help us define signage, right of way, parking and other issues related to these new charging stations," Frisinger said. "To help us with this process, we have also been working very closely with electric vehicle companies to better understand this evolving technology."

This video is f*cking sick! Prepare for your mind to be blown. Australian graffiti writer Sofles goes to town rocking pieces, throwies, and wild style burners, transforming a ruinous warehouse into the veritable gallery of his work. The artist exhibits style, technique and versatility, proving that he can bang out solid straight letters on par with the best, even though he often chooses to break from the conventional with his more experimental pieces.
Just as impressive as the artist's skills is the cinematography, flipping ones expectations of a time-lapse video. Even if you don't give two sh*ts about graffiti, this video by Selina Miles for Ironlak will blow your mind. Seriously, take 4 minutes to check it out for yourself and tell me if I'm wrong.

Medical Apartheid (2006)
by Harriet A. Washington
No current Talk conversations about this book.
After reading medical history for a few years I have become accustomed to the fact that until about 200 years ago physicians offered nothing more than comfort and false hope. Thanks to Harriet Washington's book, "Medical apartheid : the dark history of medical experimentation on Black Americans from colonial times to the present" I realized that many patients, even today, are still only offered false hope in spite of effective treatments being available and that their comfort, their health, is considered irrelevant against the quest for gain. As soon as scientific methods allowed for the development of effective treatments people with no power to resist became the unwilling, and often unknowing, test subjects in the competition for personal and corporate profits. Hopefully this book will do for medical research what the Rodney King video did for law enforcement.
I came to read this book for my research into early 19th century medical training. It helped me document what I suspected, anatomy classes dissected primarily black bodies. Hundreds of black bodies being robbed of their eternal slumber was as ineffective then at grabbing the attention of legislatures and law enforcement as hundreds of black bodies being gunned down in our streets is today. Having grown up in the United States I knew what to expect from the popular opinion of the WASP majority. I did not expect the persistent ignorance that is racism to be practiced by educated physicians .
Washington's writing and research are excellent although I do have a few very minor problems with the book. When discussing the ethnic imbalance in medical studies Washington mentions a study with majority African American subjects in a majority African American city. Isn't proportional representation what we should strive for? Perhaps there was another flaw in that study's methodology but I did not see it mentioned in the text. When discussing African American's over representation as subjects in prison studies the passing mention of the fact that African Americans are proportionately over represented in the prison population compared to the general population seemed to me to be understated . Although the over incarceration of minority citizens is outside the focus of the book I felt that the double discrimination could have been emphasized a bit more.
Although I feel that Washington's professional detachment wavered during the examination of forced sterilization I am in awe of her ability to, over all, maintain her professionalism. Reading this book affected me more than any other work I can remember reading. As I said, I expected racial bigotry to be shown in antebellum selection of subjects for medical school dissection, but I was shocked at how much farther it went. I naively expected that post Mengele, post Nuremberg, post AMA, NIH and CDC ethics standards the intentional targeting of minorities and the poor would have diminished. It did not. For some reason I expected better of educated "healers". I feel the need to go and reread John Dittmer's "The Good Doctors" in the hope that it will restore some of my faith in the medical profession.
This is such a grim book that it took me a rather long time to get through. Harriet Washington has researched the history of medical studies using people of African origin or descent from slavery times through the present. It appears to be thoroughly researched and well documented. Washington cites a need for honesty in dealing with the issue for the sake of current research efforts with African Americans -- who appear reluctant to serve as medical research subjects in even legitimate and ethical studies. She argues that such reluctance is not just fallout from the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study, as many white people claim, but is the result of a long-standing pattern of medical abuses toward subjects with dark skin.
Many -- no most -- of the stories here are truly ugly, the abuses blatant and obvious, the racial bias clear. Those are the most powerful (and upsetting) stories. Then there are those situations where the abuse or the bias is more subtle. In a few cases, Washington seems to tiptoe on the borders of working both sides of the issue re: the need for participation vs. the appropriateness of the studies. While this sometimes illustrated the difficulty of conducting truly fair and ethical experiments, sometimes it appeared to this reader that the author was pushing the issue in cases where the ethics were ambiguous at worst -- for instance, terminally ill prisoners who consented to highly risky procedures because they knew they would be dead in a few weeks barring a true medical miracle. Inclusion of such cases hardly seemed necessary, as there was more than enough obviously unethical material to make her point.
This is not at all a pleasant book to read, but it is a real eye-opener.
In this book, the author has compiled and analyzed a vast amount of research to make the case that racist practices toward African-American people from slavery onward, in the name of science and medicine, have created an atmosphere of distrust among African-Americans toward the medical profession. As a result of this distrust, and often fear, this group of people may not be getting proper medical care when necessary.
I won't go into a major discussion here, but I thought the author did a fine job in terms of research and presentation. I'm not a scientist, nor am I conversant enough in the topic to judge her research, but this book really opened my eyes to some less than professional and less than ethical practices. I must say that I'm not surprised -- earlier I read the book "Bad Blood" about the syphillis experiments at Tuskeegee -- but that was probably the extent of my knowledge on the topic. Washington's book makes that study seem like only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. I have to say that sometimes she was a bit repetitive, but not enough to distract from the main points of her work.
I truly hope her work does some good. I'd recommend it to people who are interested in the topic, especially people like myself who have only a limited knowledge, or to people who want to add yet another dimension to their understanding of African-American history.
This is a sweeping account of the long, tragic history of the abuse of African Americans in medical research. The shocking nature of the abuses described in this book, along with the sheer quantity of them, is nearly overwhelming. But Washington does much more than merely shock the reader; she helps us to understand why the black community has been so distrustful of medicine and the health care system -- which tragically worsens the health disparities between blacks and whites -- and argues that restoring that trust must begin with an honest accounting of the wrongs that have been done.
The one major criticism I have of the book is, in describing some of the more recent episodes, its tendency to understate the role of socioeconomic class discrimination in order to continue pressing the issue of race. To be sure, class discrimination has meant that blacks have been overrepresented, there is a meaningful distinction to make between medical abuses motivated by racism and/or racist medical theory, and medical abuses that disproportionately affect blacks by taking advantage of the vulnerability of people in poverty. But this is a relatively small criticism of what is a powerful and important book that should be read by anyone concerned with social justice and ethical research.
This is an overwhelming but highly worthwhile book. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the history of medicine, racism in America, or just good non-fiction. Harriet Washington attempts a very ambitious project and draws on a huge number of medical studies/records and personal narratives of those who participated in them, either as subjects or experimenters, and those who analyzed these studies. Her overall purpose is to explore and expose the role of racism in the history of American medicine and to restore the experiences and voices of black Americans - most of whom were unwilling or unwitting participants - to this history.
The title, which some may find hyperbolic, is an apt description of the history that Washington uncovers, as black and white Americans have truly existed in separate spheres where medical experimentation and medical care was concerned. Although she begins her story in antebellum America, describing medical experimentation on slaves and free blacks, her examination of studies conducted in the last 10 to 20 years demonstrates that, although the situation has certainly improved, the exploitation of disadvantaged blacks for the benefit of scientific "advancement" is far a thing of the past. Despite this history of abuse, Washington ends her book with a plea for more participation by blacks in clinical studies, arguing that - with strict control of such studies and improvements in study design and ethical constraints - these studies offer blacks an invaluable opportunity to improve their health, which has suffered throughout history due to precisely the kind of medical experimentation that she details in her book.
Washington's book is divided into a number of "themes" that emerged throughout the history of medical research on black Americans, most of which are manifested to a greater or lesser extent in different periods, so the chapters do tend to follow a rough historical progression from the plantation to the present. These themes include: (1) the display of black bodies, whether in surgical theaters or circus "freak shows" like the Worlds' Fair; (2) the misappropriation of black bodies by science, including grave robbing in order to procure bodies for medical school dissection instruction & use of individuals as experimental subjects without their consent - informed or otherwise, as in the practice of the "Mississippi appendectomy," the practice of sterilizing black women through hysterectomy or other means during the course of other surgical procedures; (3) the use of the least powerful among American blacks - slaves, sharecroppers, the poor or homeless, soldiers, children, prisoners, and the already-ill; and (4) the use of black experimental subjects to develop & perfect treatments that tended to benefit white and/or wealthy Americans.
The use of American blacks to develop treatments for whites is particularly interesting given the fact that most of the history of experimentation on black Americans has tended to promote and reinforce the belief in an inherent racial difference between blacks and whites; additionally, blacks were not simply different, they were inferior to whites - more prone to disease, less intelligent, hyper-sexual, less evolutionarily advanced. Even traits found primarily among blacks that indicated superior immunity to certain diseases were rephrased as "inferior susceptibility" to those diseases. Despite the belief that blacks and whites were completely different "species," black bodies provided the testing ground for many medical treatments and devices that were later used on whites.
A further theme that runs throughout Washington's book, but is only made explicit in the later chapters focusing on contemporary American studies of urban blacks, is the assumption that all pathologies found in American blacks, whether physical, psychological, or social in nature, were the result of genetics. Social explanations - poverty, lack of opportunity, violent environments, etc - that might contribute to criminal behavior amongst urban black youth were dismissed in favor of claims that they were inherently condemned by faulty brain chemistry, leading to attempts to predict criminal behavior among younger siblings of boys already in the juvenile justice system by measuring the younger boys' levels of neurotransmitters thought to be linked to aggression. Lobotomies were practiced and promoted in the 1960s as a cure-all for urban riots, in total dismissal of the reality that discontent among urban blacks in the 1960s might reflect genuinely oppressive social conditions, rather than mental illness or some other deviancy that needed to be stamped out.
Despite this history of abuses, many of which occurred as recently as the 1990s, Washington does feel that - with strict controls & improved ethics - it is vitally important for American blacks to participate in clinical trials and to not fear the American medical system, because this fear causes communities to avoid truly beneficial therapies. She feels that, by clearing the air and addressing the issue of exploitation of black Americans by the scientific and medical communities throughout history, she paves the way for this participation. I don't know if I agree with that, however, because after reading this book, even I - an educated, upper-middle class white woman - felt highly paranoid about the safety of a lot of drugs and supposedly "safe" medical interventions. Still, a great book - very highly recommended, even though it is quite emotionally draining.

From the era of slavery to the present day, the first full history of black America's shocking mistreatment as unwilling and unwitting experimental subjects at the hands of the medical establishment.
Medical Apartheid is the first and only comprehensive history of medical experimentation on African Americans. Starting with the earliest encounters between black Americans and Western medical researchers and the racist pseudoscience that resulted, it details the ways both slaves and freedmen were used in hospitals for experiments conducted without their knowledge—a tradition that continues today within some black populations. It reveals how blacks have historically been prey to grave-robbing as well as unauthorized autopsies and dissections. Moving into the twentieth century, it shows how the pseudoscience of eugenics and social Darwinism was used to justify experimental exploitation and shoddy medical treatment of blacks, and the view that they were biologically inferior, oversexed, and unfit for adult responsibilities. Shocking new details about the government's notorious Tuskegee experiment are revealed, as are similar, less-well-known medical atrocities conducted by the government, the armed forces, prisons, and private institutions.
The product of years of prodigious research into medical journals and experimental reports long undisturbed, Medical Apartheid reveals the hidden underbelly of scientific research and makes possible, for the first time, an understanding of the roots of the African American health deficit. At last, it provides the fullest possible context for comprehending the behavioral fallout that has caused black Americans to view researchers—and indeed the whole medical establishment—with such deep distrust. No one concerned with issues of public health and racial justice can afford not to read Medical Apartheid, a masterful book that will stir up both controversy and long-needed debate.

|Disability, employment and stress regarding ability to pay for housing and healthy food.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23324706 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|OBJECTIVE: To determine if disability is a significant factor in increasing the likelihood of experiencing stress regarding the ability to pay for housing and healthy food. PARTICIPANTS: 24.6% (n=16206) of 65,960 adults who responded to the social context optional module of 2009-2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System identified themselves as having a disability. Adults with disabilities reported that they experienced significantly more stress about having money to pay for housing and healthy food than adults without disabilities. METHODS: This research was a quantitative study using a publicly available dataset. A series of logistic regressions were performed to determine the extent that disability affected the likelihood of stress about having enough money for housing and healthy food.RESULTS: Employed persons with a disability are 1.6 times and 1.9 times as likely as persons without a disability to experience stress about not having enough money to pay for housing and healthy food, respectively. Persons not employed with a disability are 1.56 times and 1.83 times as likely to experience stress about not having enough money to pay for housing and healthy food, respectively. For persons with a disability, being female, in poor health, without a health plan and having a lower income were also significant. Education and employment were not significant predictors of experiencing stress regarding money for food or housing. CONCLUSIONS: Having a disability is more predictive of experiencing stress about having enough money for housing and healthy food than employment, though variables such as low income and having a health plan, dependent on employment are significant. Therefore, strategies and policy recommendations to reduce stress by increasing employment and income for persons with disabilities were presented.

There's been quite a bit in the news lately about BPA and other dangerous chemicals and toxins that can be released from plastic containers and food packaging, especially when they're heated. There's an excellent article on Environmental Health News that explains how these chemicals are carcinogenic. In a nutshell, some of them interfere with the endocrine system or even mimic estrogen, which makes them especially dangerous for women who are battling or at high risk for breast cancer.
Over the weekend, I attended a retreat for women with cancer, as the companion of a dear friend who is a cancer survivor. During the retreat, one of the speakers, a nutritionist, gave us a wealth of information about the dangers of plastic food packaging and plastic food storage containers.
I wanted to share some of my notes with you, but I also urge you to read the article from Environmental Health News.
- If you leave a plastic water bottle in your car during the day, the heat in the car can be enough to cause toxins to leach into the water from the bottle itself. Toss any water bottles that have been in the car for more than an hour or two. If you like to keep a bottle of water with you when running errands, freeze it first to keep it cool or keep a small drink cooler in the car.
- If you like to buy packaged frozen foods, remove them from the plastic container or tray before cooking them. Run it under hot water to loosen the food or microwave it for 30 seconds, just until you can easily slip it into a glass casserole or dish to finish cooking.
- Plastic food storage containers can be heated sufficiently to break down when washed in the dishwasher, especially if you use a sanitizing cycle. If you want to continue using these containers to store food, hand wash them in the sink.
I know that we're being bombarded these days with dire warnings and revelations about things we use or eat every day that can put us at increased risk for cancer, but this one is such an easy fix and the danger is so real that i really wanted to share these tips with you.
Glass storage containers can be found for very little money online or you can always pick up glass casseroles and glass refrigerator dishes at thrift shops and antique shops. They're beautiful and much safer than plastic, plus they'll last far longer.
If we're going to eat a healthier diet, it makes sense to store and heat that healthy food in a safe way, right?

Huntingdon College to offer local adult degree program this fall
Published: Saturday, March 5, 2011 at 10:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 5, 2011 at 10:26 p.m.
Adults looking to earn a bachelor's degree will have another option locally beginning this fall.
Huntingdon College will begin offering an adult bachelor's degree completion program in business management, as well as concentrations in health-care management and a minor in religious studies.
Renée Culverhouse, site coordinator for the Gadsden program, said the idea behind the program is to meet the needs of busy adults.
"They don't have the time to devote every night to going to class, so this program is designed for adults who have lives, who work, who have families, who have social activities or church responsibilities and activities," she said. "The idea is to allow that person to devote one night a week to get a bachelor's degree ... . It's a fabulous program for working adults."
Culverhouse said she hopes the instruction will take place at Gadsden State Community College, but that detail will not be final until the college has its new president in place. The search for a new president is expected to continue through late April.
In the new program, classes meet one night per week for five weeks. At the end of the five weeks, each student will have earned three semester hours of credit. Up to nine credit hours can be earned in one semester by taking one course in each of the three five-week terms.
The program requires 120 credit hours to earn the degree, but 64 credit hours may be transferred from a two-year college and a total of 90 credit hours can be transferred into the program.
Cost is $235 per credit hour. Financial aid, including federal Pell Grants, federal student loans and Alabama student grants, are available through Huntingdon College.
"There are various sources of financial aid available a student might use to be able to pay for this," Culverhouse said.
Huntingdon College in Montgomery has similar programs available across the state in Bay Minette, Daphne, Center Point, Shelby County, Pell City, Brewton, Clanton, Enterprise and Montgomery. Total enrollment across the state in the second session, which is under way, is 272, and Culverhouse said 100 students are expected to graduate from the program in May.
For more information, call Culverhouse at 256-438-1122 or visit the college's website at www.huntingdon.edu/adcp.
Culverhouse has an office inside the Sterling Center, 400 Broad St., Gadsden.

Reddit Founder Alexis Ohanian's Open Letter About The Music Industry And The Band
Editor's Note: On Wednesday, Reddit founder and Y Combinator "Ambassador to the East" Alexis Ohanian debated professor Jonathan Taplin, director of the USC Annenberg Innovation Lab and former tour manager of The Band, about copyright, pay vs. free models, and the principals behind failed legislation SOPA—at our Innovation Uncensored event in New York City. Immediately after the debate, which seemed far from over, Ohanian posted this response to his website, referencing Taplin's arguments about The Band, whose members have run into financial difficulties due to the current state of the music industry. We're reposting it with his permission here, and we welcome those who didn't get to ask their questions to sound off in the comments section. Also, we're happy to publish Prof. Taplin's response, should he decide to respond, and keep the debate going. A video of the debate will be available soon.
Thanks for debating me this evening at Fast Company's Innovation Uncensored conference here in NY!
Like I said on stage, I wanted to offer a solution to help make right what the music industry did to members of The Band.
It reminded me of the story Lester Chambers told on reddit a little while back: "I am the 99%. Screwed by the industry."
I'm hopeful that innovations like the ones I discussed tonight and the others that are being worked on by entrepreneurs right now will continue to do right by artists and cut out those who'd mistreat them. Please take a look around kickstarter and reddit and you'll quickly find that the former is already crowd-funding projects in the millions and the latter does not in fact hurt artists in any way (quite the opposite, it's full of communities of music makers sharing tips and comedians making oodles by treating their fans respectfully and directly selling them DRM-free content).
Like I said on stage, it would be an honor to gather members of The Band together to produce one more album with unreleased content or something to honor Levon Helm — really any kind of creative project they'd like to produce — (this time funded on kickstarter) and we'll gladly launch it on the IAMA section of reddit.
I'll have my credit card ready, as I'm sure many other redditors (and music fans) will. Oh, and thank you to FastCompany for inviting me!

I'm a bit late in seeing this, but this is bizzarely coincidental. First off, good debate, though I wish the format would have allowed for a longer discussion and more back and forth. I've used kickstarter before and it really is an excellent way for those who lack access to typical sources of funding to create something great. I'm a musician, and though it's tough, I believe people want to and do pay for art. And the potential listenership is larger than ever. Now, here's the coincidence, speaking of kickstarter and Levon Helm. Levon Helm is a legend. He lived to play music and played music to live - the release of his two solo albums in tandem with his battle with cancer proves this. He is a tremendous inspiration to all artists who aim to align their life with their work. When he died, 14 local musicians around Winston Salem, NC started organizing a tribute album for Levon. We launched the kickstarter page 2 days ago and have 27 days left. We are raising money to pay for distribution and the licensing of the songs. If you believe in the grass roots style artistic development that kickstarter encourages, then please help us honor Levon Helm. Check out the promo video. Just $5 will get you a copy of the cd, - it's due to be released in August. http://www.kickstarter.com/pro...
You should really read this piece by D. Lowery (Camper Van Beethoven, Cracker)
http://thetrichordist.wordpres... - people tend to ignore the moral issue and the funding/investing issue
very interesting article, thank you!
funny, in the interim that D.Lowery article has blown up :)
Troma Entertainment (The Toxic Avenger, etc.) has existed for nearly 40 years, and may be America's longest running indie movie studio, in large part, because we have embraced our fans and have embraced much of what Mr.Ohanian propounds.In fact,I believe a major reason that we still prosper in spite of the conglomerate-fueled media-industry's economic and legislative blacklisting us,is thanks to file sharing.Our fans' time is their most important asset,more important than money,in my opinion.If we can attract their world wide attention and time,I know that Troma will receive revenue one way or another.

That retro open face style seems to be coming back in style and Vega has a new helmet that fits the mold. So if you're looking for a vintage lid, check out the Vega X380 Helmet in either black, white with a blue stripe or with cool sticker graphics and see which fits your personality best.
Constructed of a tough thermoplastic shell that meets both US DOT and European standards, this open face helmet will keep you safe in case you have a date with the pavement. A Wick-Dri liner that is super absorbent, anti-microbial and soft will keep you dry while riding and the liners are interchangeable, if need be. The comfortable plush padding will cushion your head, while the 3-snap visor, which is included, will offer some protection from the sun if it gets nice and sunny out.
To give you a few cool options, the Vega X380 Old Skool Helmet has two colorways with graphics that depict a vintage sticker collection all over the helmet. If you're more into a suble graphic the Vega X380 Blue Stripe offers up just a simple racing stripe on a white background, instead of going with the typical gloss or flat black which are also options in this cool retro lid. To see the details of this great new motorcycle helmet, go to the web page and let us know what you think!

Behold, the final BRACKETOLOGY of the year (we hope) .... NOPE. Had to update it
We cannot handle any more maths this year.
It's expected that Murphy will be hired as the New Milford Green Wave's head coach Thursday at the town's Board of Education meeting, according to Sean Bowley and Kevin Duffy of Hearst Inc.
Murphy, 45, had coached Masuk of Monroe the previous 16 seasons. He resigned in December.
It's been the most outlandish football offseason in recent memory, as 23 teams have had coaching openings. That's over a sixth of the state's 146 programs.
Murphy has been one of the most successful coaches in state history. He has a 159-34-1 record, and his .822 winning percentage is the fifth-best in state history, according to the 2012 Connecticut High School Football Record Book.
Masuk had success prior to Murphy. It was 31-23 between 1992-96 and played in both the 1985 and '86 Class M final (it lost both).
Murphy helped transform the Panthers into a state power, though. In his second season, they stunned heavily favored Fitch to win the CIAC Class L title.
Masuk qualified for the state playoffs in 12 of Murphy's 16 seasons. It won three state titles in seven championship appearances. It also snared a league-high six South-West Conference titles.
Murphy takes over one of the SWC's most downtrodden programs. It's never qualified for states, and it has a 31-82 record over the last 11 seasons. Its only winning season during that stretch was in 2008 (6-5). It won three-or-less games in nine of those years.
New Milford has the second-largest program in the 14-team SWC. It had 757 boys in grades 9-12 during the 2011-12 school year. Only Newtown (888) has more.
The hire further alters the SWC landscape as earlier this month, Craig Bruno moved to Naugatuck after having great success at his alma mater, Bunnell of Stratford. Bruno coached Bunnell to both the league and Class L championship in 2006 and 2007.
One final thing — New Milford opens the season against Masuk. Neat.

Bryant Carpenter of the Meriden Record-Journal reported Monday that Maloney may — emphasis may — have its coaching recommendation approved tonight at Meriden's BOE meeting.
Several sources told Carpenter that Pierce Brennan was the unanimous recommendation of Maloney's search committee. Brennan is an assistant coach at Trinity Pawling (N.Y.) and a math teacher.
Carpenter reported that Middletown assistant Kevin Frederick and Weaver of Hartford head coach Kevin Quinn were the other two finalists.
Meriden School Superintendent Mark Benigni wouldn't say who the search committee recommended, but said it included a teaching gig.
Maloney is one of EIGHTEEN vacancies left — Abbott Tech of Danbury, Avon, Branford, Bridgeport Central, Bunnell, Ellington/Somers, Fairfield Ludlowe, Fitch, Lewis Mills of Burlington, Masuk, Old Saybrook/Westbrook, Rockville of Vernon, St. Bernard/Norwich Tech, Stamford, Torrington, Wilby of Waterbury and Woodstock Academy.
Bacon Academy (Erik Larka) and East Lyme (Rudy Bagos) hired their new coaches earlier this month.

CHEAP PLUG — TEAM DAY and Pooch Diggity Dogg of JRC Amalgamated both wrote stories the past few days about this offseason's coaching chaos. Please read responsibly.
We cannot handle any more maths this year.
All our work shot to hell. We're like Sisyphus if he wore tie dyes and listened to Meshuggah.
This induced 16 blackouts, but we did it all for YOU.
Ledyard senior Ty Ebdon has adjusted to life this season as a quarterback in a run-based offense.
Buddha bless you, Matt Fischer, for both you and your ROBOABACUS.
Ledyard nose tackle Tannor Daggett, a 5-foot-10, 285-pound senior, is getting to dish out more punishment playing fullback.
Staples, a Week 9 review and notables are contained therein.
It's that time of the week for maths.
A football team needs to get punched in the face a few times to strengthen its resolve for the playoffs. Period.
Chase Speller, a senior running back, had 188 yards rushing and three touchdowns in Waterford's 41-8 victory over Fitch on Friday night and also added an interception.
Week 7 made the season flip its wig, so let's try BRACKETOLOGY again.
East Lyme returned just five players with any varsity experience and lost its first four games. It's made gradual improvement and downed Woodstock Academy last Friday, 42-7, its second-straight victory.
Dang, Week 7. Look at what you did.

Now what will make this karma, fate or heavy rogering is that I received Tunnel Rats a while ago and learned it will also get released stateside...oy, makes me wondering if now on after every time I buy a European disc it'll magically get a US release.
