The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) has launched a new state chapter in Missouri, its thirteenth in the United States.
The new chapter consists of members of Missouri Educational Technology Leaders (METL), an organization that seeks to "assist Missouri school districts in understanding how to plan for the use and successful implementation of information technology to improve student learning, advocate for educational technology needs and to promote the development of leadership skills for educational technology professionals," according to information released by METL.
CoSN is a professional association with the goal of empowering K-12 technology leaders in the public and private sectors to use technology to improve teaching and learning.
With membership, the new chapter will have immediate access to CoSN benefits, such as professional development tools and the ability to share resources, ideas, and best practices with other members across the nation.
"We welcome Missouri to CoSN, and we are very pleased to announce this new partnership, which will help to maximize our advocacy efforts both on the state and national levels," said CoSN CEO Keith Krueger. "When we launch state chapters across the country, we not only gain new members, but we gain perspective, creative ideas and innovative practices--all of which help to fortify our efforts and help to build momentum to press for policies and practices that advance the use of ed tech in K-12."
CoSN began creating state chapters in 2004, with the Texas K-12 CTO Council being the first. Some state chapters are created with entirely new nonprofit organizations, while others are formed through new divisions of existing educational technology organizations. All chapters are required to pay "unified dues to build a stronger voice for educational technology leaders," according to information released by the organization.
Other CoSN members include:
More information about CoSN is available at cosn.org. Visit metl.missouri.org for more information on METL. Contact Keith Krueger at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information about becoming a CoSN state chapter.

April 30, 2014
Rosemary looks back on her life, her family, her memories, her secrets--and how they all led her to where she is today in Fowler's beautifully written, sometimes disturbing, always thought-provoking, and often humorous novel. The big detail about Rosemary is that she lost her "twin" sister when she was five. Her time with Fern, and Fern's inexplicable loss, affect her for the rest of her life. Fern, a chimpanzee, is not someone Rosemary talks about as an adult, not wanting the "monkey girl" moniker from her youth to be resurrected. Her own repression and alteration of memories make up the bulk of this story--how Fern's presence in her early life influenced her relationships, choices, the whole way she saw and interacted with the world. Wonderful audio performance by Orlagh Cassidy, I only wished I'd had the print book in my hands sometimes so I could go back and read some of the perfectly worded sentences over again. Winner of the 2014 PEN/Faulkner Award for fiction. Older teens will appreciate Rosemary's coming of age story and her complicated sibling relationships with Fern and her (human) brother Lowell.

InterContinental Gets $442 Million Bid for Le Grand Hotel Paris
InterContinental Hotels Group Plc, Europe's second-largest publicly traded hotel operator, received a 330 million-euro ($442-million) cash offer from Constellation Hotels Holding Ltd. for its Le Grand hotel in Paris.
Constellation also offered to invest 60 million euros to renovate the property over an unspecified period, Denham, England-based InterContinental said in a statement today. InterContinental would retain a 30-year contract to manage the hotel with the right to three 10-year extensions. The company said it agreed to exclusive talks with Constellation and would now consult with employee representatives in accordance with French law.
InterContinental, owner of the Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza brands, has been divesting properties over the past 10 years as it focuses on operating hotels rather than owning them. The company completed the sale of the Mark Hopkins San Francisco and an 80 percent stake in the New York Barclay for about $394 million earlier this year.
"This announcement demonstrates the continued successful implementation of our asset-light strategy and the strength of our relationship with Constellation, following its recent purchase of InterContinental London Park Lane and its majority investment in InterContinental New York Barclay," Chief Executive Officer Richard Solomons said in the statement.
Le Grand, located in central Paris overlooking the Opera House, has 470 guest rooms, including 70 suites. It opened in 1862 and has operated under the InterContinental brand since 1982, according to the statement.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & martinibuster
and no, this is not one of the normal "my earnings declined" threads . . . something happened and on-site advertiser targeting has changed.
i'm surprised nobody has posted about this yet.
I am now seeing CPC's that are 50-60% of what I had learned to live with which was 50% of my average CPC prior to 2006. Hope this drop isn't permanent.
i'm surprised nobody has posted about this yet
As of late, it doesn't seem popular to infer that all is not perfect.
I also punted some less-than-suitable advertisers the other day and it's possible they were paying better, might let them back on just to see.
I've seen temporary dips like this before so I'm not really concerned, yet ;)
As of late, it doesn't seem popular to infer that all is not perfect.
It never hurts to ask the AdSense team about your specific CPC issues because there could be a problem.
[edited by: incrediBILL at 5:22 pm (utc) on Mar. 13, 2007]
Same as IncrediBill, my traffic has been up so total earnings remains roughly the same.

By the way, since removing ads from the lowest performing channels I am feeling a pulse again, slow, but Eeet Iz Alaive!

I suspect that seasonal demand is playing a role in the increases.
I actually added more space for other advertising networks (Burst, CJ, Amazon etc) for the first time in two years. But, I've seen Adsense go up and down so I'll wait another month before I do anything drastic. But I do have to admit, it's currently at an all time low since June 2003.
Sometimes, however, EPC dips for a few days and then recovers. Similarly, it will occasionally rise for no apparent reason. It's anything but predictable in my niche -- so I'm guessing ( hoping :) it's just a little blip.
Ad targetting is, as usual, excellent at my site.
How many others started allowing channel targetting in Feb or so and are now seeing the drop?
I've also been wondering about the per ad reporting in this case? Think about if you have a 4 ad 300x250 unit that usually has 4 text ads. If one of the 4 ads is clicked every 6th page impression that is a per ad CTR of : 1/24 = 4.16%. Not unusual for some of our pages. Now I'm guessing if they replace those 4 ads with one graphic ad, and then you get one click on every 6th page impression, that should be 1/6 = 16.6%. Instead we are seeing CTR's more like 1/100 = 1% or less on site targeted ads! Saturation? Mismatched? possibly. Not that it SHOULD matter since supposedly they compare the eCPM when deciding which ads to display and site targeted ads are paid by impressions not clickthrus. But, imagine if they have a logic error in the part of the algo that decides which type ad to display, which is not taking into account the fact that the CPM of one large site targeted graphic ad at 15.00CPM should be compared to the CPM of FOUR individual context ads at 5.00CPM EACH (or 20.00CPM) not one ad! That could result in an effective 25% drop in overal revenue even though the eCPM is apparently triple. Wonder if there is a problem there? On the other hand I understand site targeted ads can also be single size ads, which would be a one on one comparison? It's all so confusing with so many possible variables and scenarios. I'm considering turning off site channel targeting for a while to see if things improve.
"It never hurts to ask the AdSense team about your specific CPC issues because there could be a problem."
I tried that on Friday or Saturday and surprisingly, for the first time ever, got a note from Adsense Support that they were "off for the weekend". Something new? Cut backs? Put Off? I've always gotten a quick response no matter what day before. Our CPM DID coincidently jump a little that evening, but overall has continued downward. On Monday, sure enough, I got the somewhat generic, but personalized, response that CPMs have and always will vary widely over time, etc. etc.

Wonder if there is some relation, like these big companies determining it was cheaper to switching from bidding high PPCs to CPM and thus reducing the competition for content bids?
Were those advertisers using CPC text ads previously? I'd guess that a lot of AdSense display-ad sales are made to new customers.
CPMs have and always will vary widely over time, etc. etc.
I definitely agree with that statement but we were talking about CPC (aka: EPC). My eCPM wanders all over the spectrum but my CPC stays extremely consistant.
Since February of 2006 my CPC has been at an expected (although somewhat depressing) figure within a few percent. As of March 3rd 2007, it has diminished by about 40%.
My niche is small and very specific so I know my advertisers (at least within a certain geographic realm). My field is fine art and the organizations that show ads on my site are the Guggenheim Museum, The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and similar galleries. Their advertisements are SO consistant that if it were not against the TOS I'd contact them directly to establish a more intimate relationship.
These twenty some organizations have shown ads on this site for a good number of years. It is difficult to understand why they would ALL suddenly start paying 45% less for content network advertising on the SAME day.
No, this was an adjustment... but for what reason and for how long?

No, this was an adjustment... but for what reason and for how long?
And for what percentage of AdSense accounts? (Which would go with your "what reason" question, assuming that there really was an adjustment.)
Yesterday I removed adsense from a site in my account that had my lowest eCPM. In the past I have noticed this helped improve the eCPM of my other channels and my overall earnings. I'm considering removing more channels that are on the low end of my channels eCPM. Even thou their eCPM would be considered high by most.
There is no rational explanation for many adsense users experiencing a sudden decline in eCPM at the same time other than that it is caused by a change in google algorithms.
This rapid change seemed to come in around the same time google adsense introduced site channel targeted cpm ads. Although I don't think that change explains this sudden drop either.
this was an adjustment
Yes, totally agree, an algo change that obviously did not affect all publishers, it was timed after a reported AdSense login down.
Incidentally, it seems like WebMasterWorld threads for Mar 3rd have gone poof, either that or no one was here on Mar 3rd. (see for yourself)
The site is already 4 years and keep growing every month for the last couple years, well... until 7th March...
Start from 7th March, I check my keywords everyday and since yesterday some of them are back to 1st SERP page again, but the lower position for some keywords.
The eCPM still not showing any improvement.
2 days ago, I emailed GA support asking for what happened with my stats in term of page view and eCPM. Up until now there is no respons either from the automatic responder or human support.
What happened exacly @ Google? I think this whole thing might be some kind of accident instead of planned update.
Well, just look @ the bright side, it's kind of free money anyway! (at least for me...)
Let me also ask this question � of those publishers who noticed a drop or decline in CPC rates on 3/3/07 and beyond, how many have noticed an increase in on-page CTR?
Many of you may not have noticed any change in eCPM because a decline in one metric (CPC) and an increase in another metric (CTR) could easily offset each other, making this change unnoticeable to many.
Obviously with smaller publishers metrics fluctuate all the time . . . so if you fall in this category, please understand it is impossible to draw any specific conclusions off of your limited data.
how many have noticed an increase in on-page CTR?
Oddly, I recieved the highest number of clicks for all time on the 5th... resulting in an abnormally high CTR for the day. I chalked it up to Google playing "click catch-up" after a rather significant weekend "drought".
Everything (except CPC) seems to have returned to normal immediately after that, however.
However, if those with reliable CTR data show CTR more-or-less offsetting EPC, then one must consider those lower EPC ads roughly competitive with the higher EPC ones -- since G plays those two factors against each other when deciding which ad to show.

Another test of the new 300gram paper and new Faber-Castel watercolors. I am in love with this paper, and to make the background splatter traditionally, I masked the entire body, cut its shape with a scalpel up to her every detail, and did the background and splatter. After that I peeled the masking tape off, and voila!
One tip: If you try this technique, wait for the entire thing to dry before peeling the masking tape, or the tape will pull the paper and the color off with it...
This baby was a present for my dear boss
Yay! kill la kill.

Grrr he is very sexy! good job
I like that Alien detail) and he reminds me of some kind of Pagan Zeus or he's like a son of Zeus and another pagan deity and horns can represent his true heritage like head ornaments of Egyptian gods + alien piece is a hint of his alien origin Does he have a story?
There's no official story, but in my younger years I was into New Age books about aliens possibly visiting ancient civilizations. I also really like Pagan imagery and use antlers whenever I can. So you're not far off.

Darnell Mayberry: Kendrick Perkins a bigger impact than Kevin Martin
The Oklahoman's Darnell Mayberry took questions from readers in today's OKC Thunder Power Lunch Chat. You can join our Power Lunch Chats Monday-Friday at 11 a.m. on NewsOK.com/Sports. Here's a recap of today's Q&A:
What do you think of the school of thought that the Thunder may amnesty Perkins in order to keep K-Mart next season?
This is blasphemy to some, I know. But based on what we've seen this year, Kendrick Perkins has had a bigger impact than Kevin Martin. No, it doesn't necessarily show up in the stat sheet. But Perk has played some great defensive games this year, while K-Mart's biggest scoring nights have come in blowouts. If it's between those two, I'd probably opt to keep Perk for his last two years and go forward with a big-time interior defender as opposed to a player who essentially has become a spot-up shooter.
Schematically, what do you see the Thunder changing to get over the Miami hump?
If the Thunder gets there ... I can see Brooks playing small more and trying to take advantage of his speed and athleticism a little more. I still think Brooks might also throw out that zone. I have a suspicion that the Thunder is working on it and trying to have it ready for a potential Finals rematch. I could be way wrong in that assumption, though.
Do you think it's a good idea to re-sign K-Mart? Or do you think the Thunder could land a better player in free agency or the draft?
Martin is a nice complementary piece and can have a big impact at times. But whether it's a good idea depends on how much he'll be asking for. His price can't surpass his worth. Not these days. There might be a cheaper alternative, such as Jeremy Lamb.
Martin at $8 million a year for three years: would you take him there?
Perhaps. But is what Kevin Martin brings at $8 million that much better than what Lamb can give you starting next year at $2 million?
Do you think Brooks is a great coach or just has great players that make him look that way?
I think he's great at some parts of coaching — motivating mostly and getting the most out of his players from an effort standpoint — and has great players that have bought in and believed in him. So it's been a good match.
If Scotty Brooks doesn't make it over the last hurdle soon, will we see someone else be brought in?
Doubtful. I'd be shocked if a coaching change is made this year even if the Thunder doesn't make the Finals. This team's record and history of success is too good to even talk about changing coaches right now.
Kobe has been showing up with his A-game pretty consistently over the past few games. What can the Thunder do to shut that down?
Kobe generally doesn't "go off" against the Thunder. Historically, when he does his team generally loses.
Were you at yesterday's game? Something was going on between Griffin and Ibaka long before the incident. Do you agree?
Didn't cover that game. But you could see on television that they were battling for most of the game. I doubt it's anything between them. Probably just two competitors going at it.
What has been the Thunder's biggest improvement since last year's playoff run?
Good question. I'd say Ibaka for the way he's developed on both ends.
What can OKC do to not have such a big drop off when the second unit comes in? Sub Durant and Westbrook at different times?
Brooks has done that, mostly with Durant and mostly all season. When the second unit plays good defense, it's fine. When it doesn't, it gets ugly. Also, I've said for weeks now that Reggie Jackson should get more freedom to break down the defense and create plays for himself and others. It would take a ton of pressure off K-Mart and his two-man game with Collison.
Will Ibaka get suspended for tomorrow's game?
It's possible. But the league hasn't announced anything yet.
What's the Thunder's issue with blowing huge leads? Are they too comfortable in their capabilities of being a dominant team?
I'd say so. But I don't think the Thunder has blown as many huge leads as it seems. A few might just seem like a lot.
What changes in the rotation would you like to see against the Lakers and possibly the Knicks, assuming Ibaka will be suspended for at least one game?
I'd like to see Nick Collison start and play at least 30 minutes.
What player do you think Thunder will draft with the Raptor pick?
I would think getting a big man would be critical.
Thunder-Clippers: who would you take in a 7-game series?
Thunder in five, maybe six.
Do you think Durant will lead the league in scoring again?
I think so. Durant says it's not important to him. But if he gets close, strictly as a competitor I can't see Durant not wanting to win it.
Do you think the Thunder should re-sign Kevin Martin long-term? Or maybe just for the next year or two? Not at all?
Depends on his asking price. His production is starting to suggest his price might exceed his worth on this team.
Will K-Mart end up wanting the same as Harden and bolting?
Different situation. Harden had never been his team's franchise player. He had never gotten a contract extension, let alone max money. Martin has experienced most of those things. And losing. So there is incentive for K-Mart to want to stick around.
As Kobe has started playing better, who would the Thunder rather play: the Rockets or the Lakers?
Rockets, although the Thunder could get past both. Kobe Bryant, however, is still more likely to take over a series than James Harden. So based on that, the Thunder probably would prefer the Rockets.
Who do you think is the Thunder's best possible matchup in the first round? Warriors, Jazz, Rockets, or Lakers?
In order from best to worse, I'd say Houston, Utah, Lakers, Golden State.
How worried are you about Martin in the postseason? He really seems to be ineffective lately doing much else other than spotting up from behind the arc, and even that sometimes …
I'm not worried personally. But it's going to be one of the biggest keys to the Thunder's success or reasons for the team's failure.
Will Brewer be in the rotation in the playoffs?
If it's a set rotation, it doesn't appear that he will be. If it's a situational rotation (which Brooks rarely uses), he could find some playing time. Why is Brewer not playing more? I don't know the answer to that. I could ask Scott Brooks right now and all he'd say is "you can't play everybody."
Do you take anything away from Thabeet's defensive showing against the Clippers' bigs yesterday?
Not really. Much of the same that we've seen most of the year. He was solid in spot minutes. That much we know he can do now.
Lamb's stats in the D-League have been showing better then Liggins. When do you expect both of them to get more Thunder time? Next season?
Lamb perhaps. Not so sure about Liggins.
Assuming Noel doesn't fall out of the top 3, if Zeller is still available when the Thunder picks, would be he the best fit for them in the draft?
Zeller's game screams "glue guy" to me. He's probably at best a better version of Nick Collison. More athletic, of course. But I just don't see what impact he has beyond "the little things." With that said, if he's there at seven or eight you probably have to take him.
I love that Fisher is back. Not just for bench minutes, but for experience. I feel like his presence alone is influential.
I agree. But if he's going to be on the court he needs to produce just like any other player is expected to do.
Fisher played just the right amount of minutes last night. Will this continue? Should it in your opinion?
If he's not knocking down shots, yes.
Seems that lately Thabeet is growing into his roll and doing a good job of blocking at the rim. Good matchups or is it clicking?
He's getting better. I think you can see his growth.
Western Conference Finals, Game 5 against the Spurs, series tied 2-2. Westbrook is in foul trouble or needs a long breather. When Reggie comes in do you think "uh oh," or "He can hold down the fort for 5 minutes?"
It's funny. Jackson came in for Westbrook with about 8:55 left in the fourth quarter yesterday. (I hated the substitution.) But Jackson missed a 3 and turned it over dribbling in traffic. But it felt like the former ..."uh oh." Yet when Westbrook came back in, he turned it over rather quickly as well. But because he's Russell Westbrook and proven it didn't feel as bad. But the fact is it was still a turnover at a pivotal time.
With all that said, I think Jackson is growing by the day and gaining more confidence. Will there be rough patches? Of course. Same with Westbrook. But if the coaches prepare him for those moments now, which should be the goal, then he should be fine when it matters.
Who do you see as the Thunder's toughest competitor in the West? Would it be Denver, or someone who always plays them tough like Memphis?
San Antonio, with Memphis being second and the Clippers being a close, close third.
Do you think that Thunder should make a play for a center like Cody Zeller or Alex Len?
Haven't seen Len play. I like Zeller's IQ and intangibles. And he seems to be the type of player Presti loves.
How good is Jeremy Lamb?
He can shoot the lights out. Whether he knows what else is going on offense or how to play defense remains a question.
How long until KD gets a ring with OKC?
Roughly 415 days.
What's the Thunder's record in the alternate uniforms?
I've lost count. But it's around .500.
Westbrook had the best month of his career in February and has continued to add to that in March. Coincidentally the "meltdown" happened on 1/31. Do you think embarrassment was the maturing lesson he needed to get to the next level?
I wonder if Wolverine gets embarrassed ... But it does appear that was a turning point.
Do you attribute the claims of "not being able to finish games" to the Thunder's stars having sat so many 4th quarters? Maybe less night-in, night-out pressure situations as our opponents.
That could have something to do with it. But they were so good last year at closing out games, and James Harden didn't "close" nearly as much as most seem to think he did. So that's not the issue. In those situations, Harden was reduced to what we've seen K-Mart essentially become. That's a spot-up shooter. From that standpoint, the personnel is similar. Again, I just think a few blown leads have seemed like a lot. It hasn't been that bad.
Do you see Boston making the playoffs? And if so, do you think they can legitimately do any damage without Rondo?
Yes. But what they do when they get there…
Do you see OKC overtaking the Spurs for the no. 1 seed?
Nah. San Antonio has a favorable schedule the rest of the way that's loaded with home games, and the Spurs likely will rally around Parker's injury and keep on trucking in his absence.
What area of the Thunder's game do you think needs to improve the most before the Playoffs?
Does OKC get to 60 wins? They would need to go 17-6 to get there. Thoughts?
Highly likely. There are some very winnable games remaining on the schedule. Think about this. The Thunder hasn't even played Milwaukee or Orlando yet and still has a game against Charlotte. That could be five wins right there.
In your opinion, why is Brooks so stubborn about playing Perkins so much against Miami?
In my opinion, I think Brooks honestly feels like Perk gives the Thunder the best chance to win.
If you were picking and you had your choice of Len, Plummlee, Zeller, or some of the other bigs in the draft, who would you pick?
Probably Zeller. But, again, I haven't seen Len this year.
Would Eddy Curry be good for that tough-guy role like Perk & can't he score?
Eddy Curry is terrible.
What kind of food do the players get before the game?
Sometimes it's the same thing you're getting from the concourse. Chicken fingers and such. Other times, it's PB&J. At times, it's fruits and salads, or pasta.
Are you traveling with the Thunder this week?
Nope. Not going to New York and Charlotte. I'll pick it up in San Antonio.

Harvard Pop Center Bell Fellow Molly Rosenberg, PhD, and Pop Center faculty member Kathleen Kahn, PhD, are co-authors of a study published in PLoS One that found that for young South African women, there was an association between visiting bars, especially when alcohol was consumed, and having more sexual partners, unprotected sex, transactional sex, and Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (HSV-2) infection. The study suggests that sexual health interventions targeted at bars might be an effective way to reach adolescents at high risk for sexually transmitted infections like HIV and HSV-2.

The ghostwriter for Andrews does an amazing job of continuing the story of a set of sisters strug- gling to forge a relationship. Some authors will include subtle references to previous novels to remind readers of previous storylines; this writer takes it a step further, crafting an entire novel from the point of view of a secondary character from Forbidden Sister. Like the preceding novel, the storytelling skills make the novel read like a movie. Readers will find it easy to be swept away by this tale.
After being kicked out of the house by her military father, Roxy Wilcox hopes to prove him wrong and make it on her own. Her good looks and her extensive knowledge of French language and culture catch the eye of a recruiter who brings her to Mrs. Brittany. After careful dietary, physical, educational and geographical training, Roxy becomes one of Mrs. Brittany's girls, a high-class escort. She manages to put her disruptive family life in the back of her mind, until both of her parents die and she becomes the sole guardian of her younger sister, Emmie. (POCKET, Oct., 384 pp., $7.99)

Idea for a cheap PIC programmer to replace/supplement the PG-1: the RCD programmer, as documented here:
I had some serious problems with the PG-1 and discovered problems with JDM designs and PICs like the 12F675 when using the internal oscillator. Those problems can be found documented here:
That link advises adding a MOSFET to the JDM design, but I wasn't able to modify my PG-1 so I can't vouch for it.
The RCD I built works great, though. Very simple--only resistors, caps, and diodes are needed (hence the name). After a bit of playing around, it now works perfectly 100% of the time.
There are only 16 components which should be <$1 in total cost (not counting wire/PCB/housing/etc.).
Incidentally, no criticism of Olimex is meant--the PG-1 works perfectly as designed. The problem is with the JDM design, not Olimex's workmanship (which is exemplary, expecially for an $11 item!).

The name of Ronald Reagan is spat out like a cuss word. Louis jeers that the Reagan family "never speak to each other except through their agents." When Joe, the gay Republican Mormon character, asks where liberals would be without Reagan to demonize, Louis replies: "If he didn't have people like me to demonize, where would he be? Upper right hand square on the Hollywood Squares." That's historically ridiculous. Reagan didn't exactly win two landslides by denouncing the existence of homosexuals or proudly declaring his endorsement of the AIDS virus. Liberals won the totality of one state in 1984 with attacks like this on Reagan.
Theologically, it's even worse. In the plot's middle, a central character named Prior, a young gay man ravaged by AIDS, is greeted by visions of an angel, which always give him an erection. He tells his friends that the angels have eight vaginas, in addition to having male sex organs. Bored with the angels and fascinated by the humans, God apparently left Heaven during the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 and never returned, leaving the angels alone and directionless. The angel gives Prior an apparently holy book, which he is supposed to read through spectacles made of opaque rocks. How drunk or high do you have to be to imagine this hokum?
Here is Kushner's opinion of God, as spoken by a plastic Mormon statue who comes to life to answer the question of how people change: "God splits the skin with a jagged thumbnail from throat to belly, then plunges a huge filthy hand in. He grabs hold of your bloody tubes. You might slip to evade His grasp, but He squeezes hard, He insists. He pulls and pulls, till all your innards are yanked out. And the pain ... can't even talk about it. And then He stuffs it back. Dirty, tangled, torn. It's up to you to do the stitching."
As the movie sloppily staggers to an end, Prior goes to Heaven, only to find it is a ruin, like a bombed-out inner city, a ghetto so cold you need a winter coat. Staring at the absence of God, Prior suggests to the angels that God is responsible for all the murder and destruction of the 20th century: "You should sue the bastard, sue the bastard for walking out! How dare He!"
But terminally clueless Tinseltown has made this "event" the toast of television. The Washington Post TV Guide and Newsweek raved so slavishly their blurbs accompany the movie in every preview. The awards and accolades will follow. Our cultural commissars would mislead us into a swamp of absurdity and self-loathing. Only a fool (or a TV critic) would follow.

When the Bullied Becomes the Bully
View TINAJANE76's Sparkpage

Saturday, November 16, 2013
A good friend of mine, who's an accomplished university professor, was visiting me a few months ago when she told me an unsettling story. She's been teaching at the university level for about ten years and decided she needed a change about two years ago. She went on a series of interviews and had a bunch of funny and interesting stories to tell about them. However, the most shocking was during one where she was told that she would do well there because she was attractive, but not too attractive.
I remember being really taken aback when she told me about this. After all, aren't academics supposed to be focused on intellectual accomplishments and be completely above judging other people based on their looks? Apparently not. It seems like no matter what microcosm of society we're talking about, there's a certain level of judgment that's based on physical appearance in one way or another. In some ways, that's not necessarily a bad thing. But if a person is systemically weeded out of consideration for a job because they're deemed to be "too attractive" or "not attractive enough" I think that's just plain wrong--and probably discrimination.
So why am I sharing this story? I was reminded of it yesterday after receiving some great comments on the blog I wrote, which made me realize that shaming and bullying can cut across all segments of the population and that it's not just the overweight who can be the victims of this type of shaming. It's often said that the worst bullies are those who were once bullied themselves and I think there's a lot of truth in that. And I think that's something those of us who have been picked on or made to feel bad about ourselves by others need to be mindful of.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I was guilty of this variety of shaming at times when I was obese. "Skinny chicks" were fair game in my book and making disparaging remarks about girls who, in my opinion then, looked like "they needed to go to a hamburger party" made me feel better about myself in a certain way--at least that's how I felt at the time. But looking back, I realize that NO ONE, regardless of how they look, deserves to be shamed or made to feel bad about themselves, even if they actually do fit into society's idealized version of beauty. Sure, some skinny chicks may have hurt me back when I was obese, but the truth is that the vast majority didn't, and by making disparaging remarks about them, I was on my way to becoming a bully myself.
This realization makes me feel terrible when I think about the hurt I endured when I was obese. I may have been heavy, but I wasn't blind and I wasn't deaf, and I felt the sting of disgusted stares and comments about how "some people should just learn to put down the potato chips". The very idea that I may have made comments that would have made someone feel as badly as I did then makes me shudder and is something I've become much more mindful of. After all, a person may take a look at me and not realize that I struggle with my weight and hurl a hurtful comment at me. But is it right to make a person feel bad who's worked so very hard to lose and keep off their weight, tackling all of the emotional and behavioral issues that go along with that? No. And that's not because people who've reached their goals are extra special, but because it's not right to do that to anyone. Even in places that we think would be safe, like health and fitness web sites, and sometimes here on SparkPeople, you can see how disagreements about health and fitness goals can turn nasty and confrontational. And some people end up feeling (and often actually being) bullied simply because they don't ascribe to a particular philosophy. So for all our talk about loving ourselves, we need to keep in mind that the way to do that is not by tearing other people down, but by building ourselves up and treating those around us with the same kindness we expect to receive.
Just because some people might display their battle scars more obviously than others, that doesn't mean the "perfect-looking" girl you see at the gym has had a life that's been a walk in the park. So as the saying goes, "Be kind. For everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."

this is definitely true. I look around and when you see the news or hear things, its like people just react, they don't think at all. Everybody just lashes out at the slightest thing. Part of this bully/bullying thing is likely a result of this ingrained defensiveness we seem to have now as a society. I hate it (and i think its an ironic side-effect of too much political correctness). And I'm glad you wrote this because sometimes we're not aware of how something we say or write can be perceived, and because you're in the pool of people society feels is okay to dump on doesn't mean you're not giving as good as you're taking.
I'm a bit tired and sorry if it doesn't make much sense, but yeah, those thoughts creep in, and you have to look at yourself. nobody is perfect and someone will find something to use against you. Its hard to get out of the trap of thinking bad about people and judging them. That's one of my biggest resolutions this year, to be more aware--thanks for the reminder.

WOW...you really struck a cord with this blog!
I too have several times been on the receiving end of bullying (lost a career because of a 'hostile workplace') and in high school stood up to a bullying teacher when all my 'friends' avoided standing with me for fear of retaliation.
But somehow (from somewhere, I don't know where: my parents? the Bible? some forgotten person?) I early learned that the MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE WORLD that I had to please was myself. People come and go all through life, the only person I can never escape is myself. I want Me to be proud, not ashamed, of me.
Sometimes odds are overwhelming and we are helpless to do anything for ourselves or someone else. Even the Son of God was crucified by an evil world. It is then that the internal battles against shame, frustration, anger, bitterness, and self-condemnation must be fought...and won!
I fail many times. But it is not how many times one falls down that matters but how many times one gets back up.
A small success happened in a restaurant a few years ago. I was with a male friend and in came a family of three who sat near us. When their time came to order the little boy could not make up his mind and the father began to be verbally abusive. I don't mean piqued or impatient, but spewing forth really cruel invective...loudly. Many people at other tables heard and looked away. "Somebody should do something," I said to my friend. He just looked sheepishly at his soup.
So I got up and walked over to the table. "I think you're being pretty rough on the boy," I said. "He's just a little kid and I don't think you realize how scary your anger is." Well that man glared at me and I thought for a moment that he was going to jump right up and punch me in the nose in spite of the fact that I was female and we were in a public place. He had such a fierce expression I was really shaking. "NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!" he growled.
At this point my motive for being there changed. I had no hope that I could influence the man but I wanted the child to see that there were adults in the world not as angry as his father and not as enabling of it as his mom and all the other adults in the restaurant.
"That may be true," I replied. But I just want you and your son to know that I for one do not approve of your behavior." And I beat a hasty retreat.
The father cooled down. They left before my companion and I did. When they left the mother came up to me and said: "My husband really isn't like that." I didn't say anything. I thought..."Yeah, sure. What people display in public is usually one tenth of what they are like in private."
Hopefully more than one person in that restaurant learned a lesson. But even if nobody ever changed because of that incident I can feel proud that I did a little something rather than forever feel ashamed that I never even tried to do anything. Me likes Me for that.

The old saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me" must one of the most inappropriate homilies ever! Verbal bullying and name-calling can be every bit as damaging as physical abuse and, where bruises and injuries will hopefully mend to a point where there is no longer any evidence of the onslaught, nobody can see the lifetime of internal suffering left from more insidious forms of bullying. When I was a just 5 years old and in infant school, I remember - with excruciating clarity as I write - my first experience of humiliation. Our class was having a Physical Training session in the playground and we were queuing up to negotiate two climbing frames linked by a ladder set horizontally. It seemed very high to me and open heights, such as fire escapes, open-rung stairs, external glass lifts (elevators) are a fear to this day. Most little boys and girls had climbed up and gone across and down the other side but, in my navy blue knickers which were de rigeur in those days, I froze at the start of the ladder, with the ground so far below. With all the class now looking at me, the lady teacher called out in stentorian tones "Hurry up Fatso!" and everyone screamed with laughter. Actually, I'm 62 now and almost in tears as I write. The awful thing is that she was the wife of the vicar at our church school. I didn't tell my parents until I was well into my teens and we were living abroad. My mother, who also taught at the school at that time, was incensed. After that, although photo's will show that I wasn't fat at all, but had a round face and stocky little legs, I had to get used to being called Fatso by children who copied that teacher; as a teenager, although by no means overweight but just not as lean as the other girls, I had to tolerate being called Hoss, Two-ton Tessie and similar, especially by the boys who would tease us girls on the sports field. It left me with terrible internalised worries about what people think of me. I interpret probably wholly innocent glances as unspoken criticisms and the horror of rejection by ANYBODY is acute. I worry desperattely about how people see me although I come across as supremely confident. As a officer in the WRAF in times when men got away with such things, there was more than one occasion when some bloke or other would simply walk right up to me in the Mess and tweak my uniformed breasts, much to the amusement of the crowded bar, but rather than cause a scene II would be as paralysed as I was on that ladder and never responded. I had been inculcated to never show that I cared, but inside I would be dying with shame.
I recently returned to SP after a long break and was, I'll be honest, terrified of finding any former Friends who wouldn't want to hook up with me again. I worked myself into quite a stupid state about it because I knew how I would feel. And all becaue of that wretched teacher 57 years ago! It took ages and some cajoling from a wonderful SF to push me into action and so I'm back.
As a result of my experience, I am pleased to say that I have never called anyone names and will never EVER called anyone anything remotely to do with their physical characteristics or otherwise. The emotional damage can become a truly terrible legacy. Your blog very aptly puts all of this into perspective and you have been extremely articulate in setting it all out. I am not polishing a halo here, nor am I having a pity party, and I'm certain that even the most sensitive of us may have inadvertently hurt someone without realising it. However, Thank you, thank you, thank you. Very well said.

Awesome blog. It is always good to be reminded that being judgmental/disparaging toward others is wrong. I often think that the mentality of making others feel bad about where they are in life is often a 'high school' mentality. Humans appear to be good at comparing themselves to others. If others are not like you than it appears to be ok to critically note that. Being positive with others is so much more uplifting and life changing. As I have noted, just because I have pain in my life, doesn't mean your pain is any less painful. Thanks for sharing, by the way.

thank you for this. I have been on the receiving end many times as a young person because of being 5ft tall and 100lbs all through high school. My husband was asked many times "don't you feed that poor girl?" in the first years of marriage. I hurt and lead to a lot of my emotional eating issues and "wanting to get heavier". Sadly as i got older it worked.
I am now back down to my goal weight (not 100lbs but 115) and I am again getting the "you look great but you should eat more" comments (talk about backhanded compliments!) and to this day, I am working my way through this.

ive been sadly on both sides of this issue, i lost a teaching career over a bullying administrator.. long story,, but 12 years of work destroyed because of the bullying of one person..
HOW ever I fell on the bully side once myself.. had this coworker, dont know why she brought out that side of me,, I was relentless.. and thats not my nature,, to this day i dont know why, but, she was a sub and after she left I realised what i was doing,, felt totally horrible.. wanted to apologize,, finally several years later she came into my clasroom one day and I was able to,, It is so easy to fall into this if ones not careful..

It brought to mind one trip we made on the airplane when I was by the window and my hubby sat in the middle seat. For a long time, we thought there was no one for the other seat (yes!) and then comes in a lady, medium build & height and she looked at me immediately putting a sneer on her face. She said in the seat with her legs under her and her back turned. Read a book the entire flight. No matter how one looks at it, this rejection hurts and one wonders what was wrong with that person, not me. The positive way to look at psychological injuries.

Engelland assisted on Calgary's lone goal in a 2-1 loss to Dallas on Monday.
Competitive Edge Analysis
The 33-year-old blue-liner is ...
Deryk Engelland D CGY 10 months ago
Engelland has had his instigator rescinded and he will not be suspended, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
Engelland racked up three game misconducts during Friday's game, but he will be available for game three on Sunday.
Deryk Engelland D CGY 10 months ago
Engelland was charged with six penalties and 42 PIM in Friday's Game 2 loss to the Canucks.
Most of Engelland's penalties came in the waning minutes of the game when both teams began to brawl. Engelland was assigned three game misconducts after fighting with the Canucks' Derek Dorsett, but it doesn't sound like he'll be looking at a suspension of any kind for his actions.
Deryk Engelland D CGY 10 months ago
Engelland picked up a pair of assists in 21:31 of ice time in Sunday's win over the Predators.
While Engelland has two goals and seven points in his last 11 games, he's only got 11 points on the season. The 32-year-old is more counted on for his defensive contributions and sees no power-play time, so don't get too excited about this recent productive stretch. His 51 PIM, 116 hits and 119 blocked shots do make him valuable in some very deep leagues.
Deryk Engelland D CGY 11 months ago
Engelland potted two goals in Wednesday's shootout loss to the Stars.
After failing to find twine in his previous 67 games this season, Engelland got not only one, but two tallies Wednesday night. The Flames value the blueliner primarily for the hit and block totals he provides, so don't expect Wednesday's breakthrough to yield any noticeable surge in his offense. Engelland has put only 46 shots on net all year.
Deryk Engelland D CGY 11 months ago
Engelland set up a goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.
With only seven points (all assists) and a minus-15 rating over 65 games this season, Engelland's done more harm than good for fantasy owners this season. He's likely to hold down a regular role the rest of the way with Mark Giordano (biceps) and Ladislav Smid (neck) done for the season, but don't expect his production to surge as a result.

Engelland recorded an assist in Saturday's win over the Canucks.Engelland has only four points and a minus-12 rating over 50 games this season. He's been able to hold down a regular role for the Flames throughout the year, but doesn't offer eyebrow-raising production in any one category.

Engelland (personal) rejoined the Flames at Friday's morning skate, Randy Sportak of the Calgary Sun reports.

Engelland (personal) missed practice Thursday but is expected to play Friday against the Predators, Randy Sportak of the Calgary Sun reports.
Check back on Engelland's status after Friday's morning skate, but it seems highly likely that he'll draw back in on the Flames' third defensive pairing. Engelland has yet to provide a point in his eight games this season.

Oil, gas industry powers sales for medium voltage motor drives market
Medium voltage drives sales into the oil and gas industry will outplace the market in 2011, according to a new study from IMS Research.
Medium voltage (MV) drives sales into the oil and gas industry will outpace the market in 2011 due primarily to the high oil prices in 2010 and early 2011, increasing investment for production capacity expansion, according to a new study, "The World Market for Medium Voltage Motor Drives", from IMS Research.
In the past, oil companies reported significant profits when oil prices rose above $50 per barrel. IMS Research believes the threshold has changed to be closer to $80-$100 per barrel due to more cautious investment behavior for large capital expenditures following the downturn. In 2010, the price of oil was between $75 and $85 per barrel, which led to re-investment in the oil and gas industry. Even stronger, the first half of 2011, oil prices were between $85 to $110 per barrel providing a significant catalyst for the medium voltage drives market. Due to the profits seen from expanding production capacity at higher oil prices, medium voltage motor drives sold into the oil and gas industry are estimated to grow by over 20% worldwide in 2011.
Analyst Jenalea Howell states, "Sales of medium voltage motor drives into the oil and gas segment is predicted to continue increasing, as orders of medium drives in the oil and gas industry during the second half of 2011 remain strong, only increasing current backlogs and growth for 2012. However, growth will continue to slow due to the difficulties of sustaining such high growth, and more importantly high oil prices. "
In addition, liquid natural gas (LNG) investment as well as oil and gas exploration and extraction in developing countries such as Brazil, Russia, and China will contribute to the continued growth into 2015. Overall, the oil and gas industry for the MV drives market is forecast to grow by a 17.1% average annual growth rate in terms of revenues from 2010 to 2015.

Annual Salary Survey
After almost a decade of uncertainty, the confidence of plant floor managers is soaring. Even with a number of challenges and while implementing new technologies, there is a renewed sense of optimism among plant managers about their business and their future.
The respondents to the 2014 Plant Engineering Salary Survey come from throughout the U.S. and serve a variety of industries, but they are uniform in their optimism about manufacturing. This year's survey found 79% consider manufacturing a secure career. That's up from 75% in 2013 and significantly higher than the 63% figure when Plant Engineering first started asking that question a decade ago.
