The Evolution of Journalism (Or: How The New York Times Stole My Blog Story)
Ian Shapira's piece on Gawker's stealing his Washington Post story is getting passed around by journalists and new media types like HPV on a college campus. If you've somehow missed it, here's the short bloggy version: Shapira spent two days reporting and writing a 1,500-word article on a business coach. Gawker's Hamilton Nolan spent a half hour repackaging it for a Gawker post titled 'Generational Consultant' Holds America's Fakest Job.
Shapira used the episode as an opportunity to decry the death of journalism and attack blogs for wielding the shiv. Gawker's Gabriel Snyder went on the defense yesterday to explain that what the Washington Post calls "snark" is actually a "point of view" that adds value to Gawker's version of the story. I agree. I'd also like to weigh in to say that blogs often bring much original content to the news cycle, and that newspapers and mainstream media are increasingly "stealing" from us bloggers.
Case in point: a series of stories I wrote for the legal blog Above The Law earlier this year about Justice Antonin Scalia having his privacy invaded by a Fordham Law School professor.
I've been an associate editor at the legal tabloid blog Above The Law for a year and a half. Like Gawker, Above The Law is a snarky news website, except we cover stories about law firms, lawyers, judges, and law schools. We cover original legal stories and also often link to and repackage content from the mainstream media.
In April, I attended a privacy law conference at Fordham University — an all-day conference, I might add. During one of the sessions, a law professor talking about "information privacy" mentioned that Supreme Court Justice Scalia does not believe in the "right to privacy" since he's an originalist in his interpretation of the Constitution, and that right was not spelled out by ye olde Founding Fathers. So this professor assigned his class to compile a dossier on the Justice, scouring the Internet for all the information they could find on him, including his home address; addresses, phone numbers and photos of his family members; and other odd information.
That made me go, "Whoa." I looked over at the only other journalist at the conference: Noah Shachtman, a contributing editor at Wired, who was speaking on one of the panels that day. He was fiddling on his BlackBerry and didn't seem to register the significance of this. "Yes, scoop!" I thought to myself.
When the panel ended, I went up to the professor and asked him questions about the dossier. I reported the story the next day on Above The Law: What Fordham Knows About Justice Scalia.
Then I called the Supreme Court and talked to its public information officer, Kathy Arberg. I told her about the story and asked if Justice Scalia might have a response. He did. He was annoyed and his response was scathing toward the professor. It was great; Nino knows how to give good quote. Arberg sent me the response via e-mail and I wrote another story on Above The Law: Justice Scalia Responds to Fordham Privacy Invasion!
That caught the attention of the mainstream media.
First ABC News repackaged my story: Law Students Collect Personal Info on Justice Scalia. If you compare the stories, you'll see that the journalist Scott Michel did no original reporting. He regurgitated Above The Law's coverage and cited us as the source about halfway through the article. A variety of other mainstream media also picked it up, including the holy of holies, The New York Times.
The NYT's Noam Cohen wrote Law Students Teach Scalia About Privacy and the Web. Again, my story was repackaged and Above The Law was mentioned as a source about halfway through the piece.
After giving me a quote about the incident, Justice Scalia refused to talk to other media about it. The New York Times notes this…
Justice Scalia declined an interview request through a spokeswoman but he did give a response about the episode to Above the Law.
…And then used our coverage. Cohen also got additional quotes from a student in the class, privacy expert Dan Solove, and from the Fordham law professor — who was annoyed I had written the story.
I'm a struggling blogger making very little money. I would have been happy to write that story for the New York Times on a freelance basis and get paid for it. (As Washingtonian Magazine invited me to do for its June issue.)
But that's not how these things usually work. As journalists — the traditional ones and the "new" ones/bloggers — we get stories out into the world, and then they bounce around and gather steam and get read. It's exciting!
I'm happy my story was covered, regurgitated and repackaged. It's an important story about a topic –privacy– that I am passionate about.
It's not primarily bloggers killing newspapers. It's a public that doesn't want to read real paper anymore. It's readers who want humor, voice, and a strong point of view in the news they read. It's companies that are cutting back on advertising in the middle of a recession. The world is evolving and we all need to change with it, and embrace the ease with which our little stories can now get out and spread their little wings and fly.
That said, give credit where credit is due. Mention the original source for a story high up in your piece if your reporting's not original. Mention the journalist by name even — as a fellow journalist, you know we have huge egos. And encourage your readers to follow links to the original source(s).

Game of life: Rick Roop was athletic director at Altus, John Marshall
A farewell to those with Oklahoma ties who enjoyed the game day experience:
*Former Altus High School athletic director Rick Roop died from injuries he suffered while taking grain samples. The Altus Times reported that Roop, 56, was standing on a railroad car taking samples with a 10-foot brass pole. Roop raised the pole and accidentally hit live electrical lines. Roop also served as athletic director at John Marshall High and head football coach at Western Heights High School. He also officiated basketball games in the Big 12 and the old Big Eight and Southwest conferences.
*Jim Hicks of Midwest City was an OU football season-ticket holder for 42 years. He attended many road games and became a familiar face by often greeting the Sooners at the team hotel. The Vietnam veteran was an organ donor, and a family obituary said, "today someone is looking at the world with restored vision, thanks to his generosity; presumably they will be converted to Sooners fandom." The former emergency medical technician and business owner died at 67 from cancer.
*David Corbett was an American hero, serving one tour of duty in Iraq with the Army. Before the military, he played basketball and football for Grace Christian Academy. In 2003, Corbett, a 5-foot-10, 150-pound defensive back, was just one of two starters returning from an 8-4 team. The Oklahoma City resident was a painter by trade and the father of daughter Paisley. He died at age 27.
*Former Oklahoma and Anadarko High defensive back Pete Norwood died at age 42. Norwood played the 1989-1992 seasons at OU after starring as a quarterback and defensive back for Anadarko. The honorable mention All-State pick would graduate in 1995 from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol academy. He spent 18 years as a trooper and was a captain at the time of death.
*Helena native Lora Lee Glidewell Woodall played basketball and tennis as a youngster; in the 1940s, she was a three-time champion at the Alfalfa County Tennis Tournament in singles — and doubles with sister Betty Lou. The bank president remained active as an adult, participating in tennis and racquetball leagues and long-distance running. Glidewell Woodall was founder of the Helena County Road Classic 5K Run. She died two weeks shy of her 86th birthday from complications of double pneumonia.
*Other people with Oklahoma ties who enjoyed the game day experience: Janene Jones, 83, of Tulsa was an avid golfer who had three aces. ... Ada resident Boyd Bolin, 47, was a team roper. ... Midge Batty, 97, was on the Liberty National Bank bowling team. Before moving to Oklahoma City, she played high school basketball in Blossom, Texas. ... Midwest City resident C.J. Walker, 88, was an avid bowler who maintained a 190 average. ... Former Enid High School football player Thomas Carr died at age 48.
Truth be told
The Oklahoman asked high school athletes: List one person you want to trade places with for a day and why:
Kyle Clark, Yukon, soccer
"David Beckham. He has a cool accent and gets all the ladies."
Macy Miller, Casady, track and field
"My dad (Jon) so I can understand his perspective on life."
Kayla Ciulla, Little Axe, tennis
"I feel like my life is to waste one day on someone I'll never be."

.- The president of the Spanish bishops' Committee on Migration, Bishop Jose Sanchez, said repatriating sub-Saharan immigrants on the Canary Islands to their countries of origin is not a solution to the immigration problem and said the Church is doing "all that it can."
Spain is currently dealing with a serious influx of immigrants fleeing their own African countries in fishing boats to seek refuge on the Canary Islands.
At the headquarters of Caritas Spain, Bishop Sanchez explained that any solution must address the roots of the problem. In this sense, he said, developed countries still have a long way to go.
He noted that on the Canary Islands, the Church "is doing as much as it can" to help illegal immigrants. The work of those involved is "admirable, but totally insufficient," he added. The Spanish bishop said the different committees of the Bishops' Conference need to work together in attending to the needs of immigrants.
Bishop Juan Jose Omella, president of the bishops' Social Ministry Committee, said immigrants are "the focal point of the work of Caritas, which is directing all of its efforts in this area to protecting their dignity." Part of this work is to put into action "programs of co-development in the immigrants' countries of origin" in order to "improve the living conditions and address the causes of this phenomenon."
Bishop Omella also called on the media to contribute to changing society by promoting a transformation of attitudes and "structures that will allow the building of a more cohesive society and a future for all."

Commercial espresso machines are designed to be operated over long periods of time. We offer traditional espresso machines from La Pavoni, as well as, automated machines with built in grinders from Jura.
If you are looking for commercial grade espresso machines, look no further than 1st in Coffee. 1st in Coffee has been around in the commercial espresso machine business since its inception in 2002. Based in Marlboro, New Jersey, 1st in Coffee offers a quality selection of espresso machines, coffee makers, grinders, coffee, accessories, and refurbished machines at great prices.
Commercial espresso machines need to be heavy duty and durable enough to operate for long periods of time and not break down. That is why it is always important to order commercial machines from a trusted retailer, such as 1st in Coffee. 1st in Coffee provides both traditional and automated commercial espresso machines.
Commercial espresso machines require heavy duty engineering and construction compared to those for home use. Prices range from about $2,000 to almost $9,000. Purchasing a reliable machine for your bar, office or restaurant is very essential. That is why picking the right brand and type is important.
1st in Coffee offers the Jura brand of automatic commercial espresso machines. These machines are programmed to make a variety of specialty coffee drinks and include a built in grinder. Users of these machines do not need the skills of an experienced barista to create and serve consistent espresso and cappuccino.
Jura Impressa XS90 One Touch is one such machine that comes with an affordable price tag at $2099. This machine allows the operator to prepare seven different specialties, such as cappuccino, espresso, latte, and macchiato, with just a touch of a button. The Jura Impressa XS90 One Touch is the perfect mid-sized machine for small cafes and restaurants, and can be used in office break rooms. It can make up to 100 cups of coffee per day and, with an adjustable coffee dispenser height, you can use practically any size of cup or glass.
If you have a need for even more features, then consider the Jura GIGA X7 Professional. It is priced at $8,999. This machine is specifically designed for businesses that are looking for a fully automated specialty coffee machine. The GIGA X7 can produce one or two latte at a time and features two built in grinders. Coffee can be selected from either grinder or mixed. Half decaf, half caf, no problem. The Jura GIGA X7 is produced with astounding commercial features and durability, resulting in the ultimate, fully automatic brewing experience. GIGA X7 has over 30 different recipes, and you can program at least 12 of your own recipes into the machine. Select a beverage, press a button, and out comes a perfectly made coffee drink. Its TFT screen interface also allows you to make volume and strength adjustments easily.
If you prefer a traditional commercial espresso machine; one where you grind coffee fresh, the measure, tamp and adjust until the quality of espresso reaches your expectation, 1st in Coffee overs the La Pavoni line of commercial espresso machines. These machines are capable of the best, truly outstanding specialty coffee drinks, but they need to be operated by a well-trained, experienced barista.
For moderate production needs and a machine at mid-range pricing, coffee houses can also consider the La Pavoni Pub 1V Commercial Espresso Machine. This machine comes with the latest technology and the highest quality in all of its components. Retailing at $4150, La Pavoni Pub 1V Commercial Espresso Machine is installed with a direct connection to a water source, hence eliminating the need to fill the machine's water tank manually. This machine can produce up to 200 cups per day and has a four cup size selection.
If you require additional capacity, La Pavoni makes the Bar T line of commercial espresso machines. These machines included two steam wands and are available with 2 or 3 groups for producing espresso. For best results, we recommend the La Pavoni Zip commercial espresso grinder. La Pavoni machines are supported by a nation-wide network of service centers.

I got hooked on Noro bulky yarn some time ago and love all of them but one. It knits smoothly with unending color surprises. I must have made myself 15 Noro turtlenecks and every single time I've been stopped by someone who wanted to know where she could buy one. I've had people stop me and have me write down the name of the yarn and website where I get it. This, like almost all the bulky yarn, has enough of a blend so that the sweaters never pill. The blends are soft enough to wear against your skin. I made 2 sweaters out of 20 skeins of Obi (my sweaters fall about three inches above the knee). Never had more than two knots in a skein which is ok with me because you get so much yardage. This stuff is a show-stopper.
There can be a hippie/organic feel to the sweaters I've made because all have been on the vibrant color spectrum. I like feeling colorful and warm and hip wearing Noro on these dreadful snow/ice/overcast days. I got my knitting group hooked on this too. (Started with malabrigo but much too pilly, even as you're knitting)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Too many knots
By Shannon
from Tulsa, OK
Best Uses
I bought this to make the cardigan sweater on the cover of the Webs winter catalogue. The yarn is very pretty, but throughout the skein, the yarn had been joined by knots. Because it is a self-striping yarn, I have been trying to match the colors on each side of the cardigan. However, the colors are not consistent because the yarn is joined by knot in several places, which is removing some of the colors in the order. This has been very frustrating as I have had to separate each skein and splice the colors in so that they are consistent. I would've expected that from a lesser quality and price yarn, but not from this.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

An excited-sounding Felix Hernandez reached into his locker and pulled out the piece of paper.
On it was a "proclamation" signed by King County executive Dow Constantine. It declared that on Friday, King County would be known as "King Felix County" in honor of Hernandez's perfect game Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays.
"This is unbelievable, huh?" Hernandez said. "That's crazy. I love it, man, love it!

Hernandez couldn't go anywhere during Thursday's off-day without seeing or hearing somebody talking about the perfect game. He estimated he'd had about 120 messages left on his cellphone along with about 300 missed calls in the hours after the game.
Among the callers: former teammates Freddy Garcia, Adrian Beltre, Raul Ibanez and Jose Vidro. Hernandez had gotten hold of his wife, Sandra, in Venezuela right after the game.
Later, he went home, flopped on his bed and told himself "I did it!"
Hernandez was honored on the field prior to Friday's game against the Twins. Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik was on hand, along with team president Chuck Armstrong and CEO Howard Lincoln, to give him a framed photograph of Hernandez from the perfect-game aftermath with the words "The King of Perfection" on it.
Mariners catcher John Jaso said he'd had a calmer off-day than Hernandez, speaking mainly by phone to family members. But Jaso admitted he still hadn't come off the thrill of the game itself or his role in it.
• Charlie Furbush was activated off the 15-day disabled list on Friday after missing the past month with triceps tightness in his throwing arm. Furbush has had "Tommy John" ligament transplant surgery on the arm before and said that while he'd initially hoped to get back sooner, he wasn't taking any chances.
"I just did what I needed to do to get back to 100 percent," Furbush said. "I'd never had this type of injury before, so I didn't know if there was a general timetable. It just seemed like, every day, it just kept getting better and better."
Shawn Kelley was optioned to AAA to make room for Furbush.
• The Mariners began selling T-shirts honoring late outfielder Greg Halman, stabbed to death by his brother last November in The Netherlands. The T-shirts, designed in-part by Mariners outfielder Mike Carp, will be sold in the team's Safeco Field Team Store. Proceeds will benefit youth baseball in The Netherlands.

I'm normally not a fan of avant-garde productions and modern/contemporary interpretations of Shakespeare, but the Steppenwolf did an amazing job.
I highly recommend this production of the Tempest for those looking to stretch their imagination.

I thought the staging and overall conception was remarkable, and have recommended it to all my friends.
In Shakespeare's final work, Prospero is exiled to an enchanted island and his desire for revenge drives him to conjure a mighty storm, trapping his enemies on the island. In Steppenwolf's first Shakespeare production, ensemble member Tina Landau re-imagines this magical tale of art, freedom and the transformative power of forgiveness.

The cast tried hard, it was antic and frantic as a sex farce should be, and as I saw it the 2nd night, it will certainly smooth out. It was fun.

Definitely not a great play: With all of the great plays out there, why do mediocre "bedroom farce junk." The actors did their best (especially Eddie Urish who did everything he possibly could to make this thing work). Direction was lackluster...continued

I did not find this performance to be as entertaining as I expected. In particular, I thought that "Fred's" acting was much too exaggerated. Not to mention, that his attire gave him an American look as opposed to an English one. I will,...continued
JPACtheatre knows a winning formula, and the combination of playwright Robin Hawdon and director Dante J. Orfei is a sure-fire mixture for laughs. This will be the second of Hawdon's plays to appear at JPAC under Mr. Orfei's direction, the first being the wildly hilarious Don't Dress for Dinner (2007).
The cast includes Eddie Urish (Fred), Katie Jenson (Judy), Caleb Scales (Maurice), Rachelynn Primm (Yvette), and Patrick Cameron (Shaun) of Chicago, IL, and Erin Oeschsel (Moira) of Naperville, IL.

For a complete meal ready in 30 minutes, grill corn and chicken breasts brushed with a simple mayonnaise-based spread. While the corn and chicken cook, mix a simple oil-and-vinegar dressing with coleslaw mix. Viola, supper! Dice leftover grilled chicken, and then combine with leftover slaw for a tasty lunch.

Turn to chicken breasts, thighs, and wings for great grilled entrées.

text: I believe that this is the first time I have ever observed a game where mana does not regenerate at a slower rate within combat. It must absolutely be made slower and that might balance clerics too because as it is even when their mana is at zero they still mana regenerate so quick they can spam twice instant heal. I am just starting this thread to get the opinion from you people on this. Thank you.

Here are compared the Canon 5D Mark III to its 5D Mark II predecessor at ISO 50 through ISO 25600, whole ISO values.
The lens was the Leica 90mm f/2 APO-Summicron-R ASPH, used with a lens adapter. It is a wonderful lens with superb corner-to-corner sharpness and exceptional color rendition.
Noise and color
This scene has a strongly warm color balance, and therefore offers a good counterpoint to the green-dominant prior comparisons.
Often, the lab evaluation of digital noise fails to take into account the real world, where there can be strongly-hued light and/or rich dark saturated tones, both of which can make noise far more prominent. Studio tests with perfect white balance are a crazy way to test for noise; anyone with studio lighting will certainly use strobes to enable ISO 100 for top quality (barring oddball shooting scenarios). Lighting cannot be controlled for many types of photography (think about a stadium or an event or interior where both tripods and flash are forbidden, etc).

The state Department of Corrections and Seattle police routinely patrol Seattle's major festivals, making dozens of arrests of felons who violate probation.
In the 11 years she has patrolled the Bite of Seattle and the Torchlight Parade, Leslie Mills has learned that free festivals aren't only popular with couples and families, but also are favorite hangouts for convicted drug dealers, sex offenders and homeless felons on probation.
Mills, a supervisor for the state Department of Corrections (DOC), says Seattle's major public events often draw felons who are wanted for violating terms of their prison release or who are violating probation merely by being there.
At Seattle's Torchlight Parade last weekend, Mills and other DOC officers and Seattle police arrested 25 people in connection with outstanding warrants or for committing new crimes.

"A lot of felony offenders and probationers are opportunists," said Mills, who supervises the DOC's Northwest Community Response Unit. "Torchlight and the Bite of Seattle provide opportunities for people to sell drugs, buy drugs and commit crimes. It's a party where you can get lost because there are tons and tons of people."
Corrections officers and police who monitor the events question panhandlers or people weaving through the crowd reeking of alcohol, and watch closely for people using drugs. Mills said officers will often approach people and ask for their name. But, she said, most corrections officers recognize DOC clients and know their names and criminal history.
Mills said felons arrested by DOC are taken to jail or briefly detained, then told to check in with their probation officer in the following days.
The effort is part of the DOC's Neighborhood Corrections Initiative program. The program, created in 1997, is a way for Seattle police and DOC to monitor felons assigned to community custody, Washington state's version of probation and parole.
Corrections officers arrested 92 offenders on probation at events this month — 22 at Torchlight and 70 at the Bite of Seattle. Seattle police arrested 28 people at the same two events for various offenses, according to DOC statistics.
The program has been so successful that the number of corrections officers assigned to patrol the Torchlight Parade and the Bite of Seattle has gone from just Mills to nearly a dozen in the past 11 years.
In an effort to keep parolees away from potential trouble, DOC staff will often ask felons who have recently been arrested for using drugs or alcohol or who have a history of violent crime to avoid festivals. Some are even ordered to sign an agreement that they won't attend the Bite or Torchlight, said Neighborhood Corrections Officer Christina Lacy.
"A lot of offenders go down there to deal, use [drugs] and a lot of our offenders are gang-affiliated and they know gangs they are at war with are there and they go to start some trouble," Lacy said. "We're trying to keep them safe and out of trouble from getting a new charge."
Corrections officers also staff the Mardi Gras festivities in Pioneer Square and the New Year's Eve celebration at the Space Needle. Out of the four events, Mardi Gras is the most challenging, Mills said.
"Mardi Gras is where we have the most drinking, drug dealing and violence," Mills said. "People want to come downtown and want to get high, and our offenders take advantage of that."
Seattle police Capt. Steve Brown, who oversees the department's West Precinct, calls the Neighborhood Corrections Initiative officers a "force multiplier" at festivals.
"There are opportunities for problems to erupt with that client base. This is a high-risk group, we put eyes on them and watch them closely," Brown said. "If they're not going to contribute to that event positively, we want them out of there."
At public events, DOC officers work closely with Seattle police officers and are in regular contact with police commanders supervising coverage of the event, Mills said. This year, DOC officers were paired with Seattle police gang officers at the Bite of Seattle, watching for felons dressed in gang colors stirring up trouble, Mills said.
At the Bite of Seattle, a team of DOC officers swarmed two groups of men dressed in gang colors outside the Center House. As the rival groups slowly passed one another, one man in the group spotted the DOC officers and told the people with him to "keep walking," Mills said.
"None of them were eating, none of them were buying any food, none of them were listening to music or participating in any of the events," Mills said of the two groups. "We believe our presence deterred things from going on."
Seattle police gang unit Lt. Ron Wilson said Neighborhood Corrections Initiative officers are a tremendous help at large events because corrections staff can question, detain and arrest people for violating the terms of their probation — something police officers can't do.
"They have an ability to identify people they know firsthand to be under probation and have the ability to talk to and contact people," Wilson said. "People who are on probation and parole are subject for review [only] by people from the Department of Corrections."
Felon Bobby Joe Simpson, 50, said he attended Saturday's Torchlight Parade. He didn't encounter any DOC officers, he said.
"I go every year," Simpson said Wednesday morning after he was picked up by Neighborhood Corrections officers for violating terms of his release by being in an area known as a site for drug-dealing and being in possession of dirty heroin needles. Simpson, who admits he is addicted to heroin, said he never worries about DOC staff being at the festival.
"The only time I worry about that is when I do something wrong," said Simpson, who has 19 convictions for crimes including drug possession, selling fake drugs and forgery.
Simpson was among a group of nine felons assigned to a DOC work crew Wednesday morning for violating terms of their release. Several offenders detained during Torchlight and told to report Wednesday for work crew didn't show up, Mills said.

Colorado supports restroom choice for children
The Colorado Division of Civil Rights has sided with Kathryn and Jeremy Mathis in a discrimination dispute with their child's school district. The parents wanted the school to allow their child, Coy— who was born a boy but has been dressing and acting as a girl since age 18 months—to use the girls' restroom. The state agreed in a letter dated June 18, and the New York-based Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund announced the decision on Sunday.
Coy was born a triplet. After he showed a tendency to like girls' clothing and refused to leave the house wearing boys' clothing, the parents took him to a psychologist who diagnosed Coy with "gender identity disorder" — a designation the American Psychiatric Association changed to "gender dysphoria" this April.
The family has battled this issue since the child entered school, first by lobbying the school to accept Coy's choice of dress. When the child entered first grade, that battle shifted to restrooms.
The school originally permitted Coy to use the girls' restroom, but revoked that decision in December 2012, saying the first-grader could only use restrooms in the teachers' lounge or nurse's office. Coy's parents thought the restroom decision stigmatized and singled out Coy, so they filed a complaint with the school district and homeschooled Coy until a decision could be reached.
Coy's is the first case that rules in favor of such a young transgender child, and many legal experts believe it will affect similar cases in other states, like the Maine Supreme Court case of a 15-year-old transgender boy who wants freedom to use the girls' restroom in school.
The American Civil Liberties Union supports cases like these and others involving transgender children and adults. "The ACLU champions the rights of transgender people to live their lives freely and with respect," the organization states on its website. "We fight for protections against discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations (including schools), and health care." The ACLU website also features more than 100 links and guides, plus legal information on transgender cases.
The District of Columbia and 16 states have passed laws preventing discrimination based on gender identity or expression, and more than 100 cities have done the same. In those regions, schools scramble to define discrimination as they adjust to LGBT students. A quick search of major media outlets, like the Associated Press and National Public Radio, reveals dozens of articles in the last few months. They refer to it as the next civil rights issue.
Peter Sprigg, a senior fellow at the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., said there is clearly "a new social movement" to protect the rights of transgender people in court and state legislatures. Sexual orientation is mostly protected, he pointed out, but expanding those rights to transgender people may be more difficult, because "sexual orientation is largely invisible. … In this case, you're dealing with something that's manifest visibly."
Mark Yarhouse, a psychology professor at Regent University, said the church faces an increasingly complex culture of sexuality, especially regarding transgender issues: "That complexity is going to require from the church clarity about what we teach, what we believe, but also compassion in how we respond to things where we may not have great clarity."

Israel is often referred to as the religious capital of the world. Jews, Muslims, and Christians flock to the country to view the numerous holy sites in Israel. From the Western (Wailing) Wall and the Dome of the Rock to the Tomb of Lazarus, one can't help but feel surrounded by history when walking through Israel. However, these glorious religious monuments are not all that Israel has to offer. The cities are filled with clubs, museums, and fantastic art and music. If you're looking to gain a new perspective on the religious, cultural, and social progression, then Israel is the right country for your gap year experience.
Israel offers so much to learn about the world. The development of Western values started long before by Jews, Muslims, and the first Christians. Come to Israel and gain a new perspective on the religious, cultural, and social progression of humanity while fighting for civil and basic human rights in the Holy Land. What better place is there to use your talents than in the Middle East, the birth-place of civilizations.
Types of Programs
Volunteering connects visitors from around the world through meaningful community service projects. There are thousands of affordable, short-term voluntary service projects in Israel. Voluntary service projects are a great opportunity to participate in meaningful community service while living and interacting in an intercultural environment. Unfortunately ,many of Israel's volunteering projects revolve around medical care for those wounded due to the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Volunteering in Israel is a great opportunity to work with orphans, support environmental efforts, help with the restoration of national monuments, and the reconstruction of destroyed homes and neighborhoods. Israel is in need of kindhearted volunteers who are in search of personal growth.
Adventure Travel
Travel to Masada and see where the Jewish rebels stood up to the Romans. Visit the strange and mysterious wanders of the Dead Sea or walk the path of Jesus's crucifixion up to Golgotha (the place of the skull). Trek outside of the cities and into the startling desert landscapes. Because of Israel's small size, it's possible to see a wide variety of places in one day, even after volunteering in the morning.
Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of Israel while interning. There are designed gap year programs that still have extremely strong roots in Jewish history and tradition. Many of Israel's internship opportunities are unpaid and more volunteer based, but the country's economy is stable and the cities are filled with business internships. If you're looking to develop your skills on an international level while doing meaningful work, then Israel is right for you. Internships in politics and law are prevalent throughout the country and will go a long way with employers. Students who intern abroad have a sizable advantage over other future job applicants without this experience.
Planning Your Trip
Cost of Living in Israel
If you're adjusting from life in the US or Europe to a gap year in Israel, prepare to pay considerably more for consumer goods. Even prices for basic food products are two to three times higher in Israeli stores than in other Western countries. In fact, recently there have been many riots protesting the unfair cost of living in Israel. Public transportation is cheap but the network is much less developed than in America or Europe.
Culture and Etiquette in Israel
Always shake hands warmly and maintaining direct eye contact, make sure to always use the right hand when greeting Muslims since shaking with the left hand is a sign of disrespect. Friends may kiss each other once on the cheek. Remember to pay attention to the religious beliefs of the person you are meeting. Orthodox observers may not take kindly to touching, so a verbal greeting would be best.
Health & Safety
Israel is still a dangerous country. There are constant threats of terrorism and the Israeli government does not permit its citizens to visit Gaza and parts of the West Bank. You might feel frightened being in a crowded area but let's face it, crowds are unavoidable. Always take precaution and if it seems like a fight of some kind is about to break out, then leave immediately and call the police.
Lastly, always remember to take sunscreen with you. The heat can be scorching and it's sunny almost year round. Remember to stay hydrated as well. While Israel does not suffer from large scale disease, the little things can catch up to you!

Many of you know that I have started my photography business, Hand in Hand Photography. It all started to get a new camera. I have a
mild huge obsession with the Nikon D3X and it would be horrible stewardship to spend our own money to buy it. So, how better to fund the object of my affection with the craft that it would be used for!
Well, the Lord kept pressing in that He wasn't going to allow me to buy a new camera. I don't know how many times I pestered Rachel with that fact. She knew more concretely than I that the Lord had bigger plans with my photography than just a camera.
You can imagine my confusion when business started backing up and now I am booked solid for four months! I have no professional experience but the Lord is supplying clients in abundance.
I cried out last night, to no one in particular, "Photography is fun but WHY am I doing this?" No one answered.
This morning, I was asking the Lord what He wanted to do with the money. My first thought was to just give it all away. That didn't sit right with my heart. Then the Lord gave me a vision of a beautiful Congolese girl. She was perfect and she was mine.
I immediately text Mike what the Lord had shown me.
When Mike came home, he told me that the Lord also gave him a vision two days before. A conviction that we needed to be generous to the Congo. To the women there. To a woman there.
To our little girl, Talitha.
So, here I begin a mission the Lord put me on six months ago. To bring Talitha home. When you book Hand in Hand Photography, 100% of the proceeds will go towards bringing our daughter home.
If you'd like to help and donate to bring Talitha home, we've set up a paypal account up under email@example.com

Alex has been in the UK since Thursday and i've been trying to follow the media work he has been doing.
Mainly he has been on some National radio stations such as BBC Radio 1, 5Live and Talksport. Also he has met with the England Rugby Team and interviewed with Sky (TV), newspapers and the BBC. Currently answering questions from the public on a popular national radio show on Radio 1.
He's coming across really well with some good insight into the game. Most questions have been on the Superbowl but also some bits on the NFL in general and the 49ers.
I haven't been able to find any of the radio segments as links but Alex has expressed how he is looking forward to next season in particular:
- The continuity they have carrying over (Same OC etc)
- It will be a dissapointment if they dont win the division next year, thats the teams expectation
- Peyton Manning is the only QB in the NFL Smith looks up to. He gave a reason why he doesnt look up to the others but I cant remember 100% the term he used.

I'm totally new to Java web development and I would like to choose a good Java web framework to learn. I've found some really good echoes regarding the Apache Wicket framework and the Playframework. I decided to go for one of 'em; but I need to choose ;-)
So, what to choose and why?
My requirements:
- I had a good experience developing with Django, so a similar framework would be great,
- I need a framework that can interact with other mainstream Java goodies (libraries, tools ..etc) so I can take advantage of what Java does really offer.

The Editor-at-Large of Vogue Japan showed the rest of us how it's done, as she looked stunning in the strapless short dress with a tassel skirt, stripey blue sandals and a checkered clutch bag at the opening of Gucci Men's flagship store and the launch of Gucci Made to Measure Capsule Collection 'Lapo's Wardrobe' on Sunday in Milan.
The eccentric Italian, who apparently owns 4000 pairs of shoes, is known for her outlandish attire, particularly headwear. However this latest outfit is positively understated compared to her usual style.

Pinski, David
David Pinski (pĬn´skē), 1872–1959, Yiddish dramatist and novelist, b. Russia. He wrote stories and plays in Yiddish about the ghetto and assisted in editing a Yiddish periodical in Moscow. After studying medicine in Berlin for two years, he emigrated (1899) to the United States. In New York City he edited several labor and socialist papers. He was one of the most successful playwrights of the Yiddish Theatre, and his play The Treasure was produced in English by the Theatre Guild in 1920. He went to live in Israel in 1950. Among his works available in English are Ten Plays (tr. 1920); King David and His Wives (tr. 1923), a play; and Arnold Levenberg (1928), a novel.

JPEG Tone curves / Dynamic range
Our Dynamic Range measurement system involves shooting a calibrated Stouffer Step Wedge (13 stops total range) which is backlit using a daylight balanced lamp (98 CRI). A single shot of this produces a gray scale wedge from the camera's clipped white point down to black (example below). Each step of the scale is equivalent to 1/3 EV (a third of a stop), we select one step as 'middle gray' (defined as 50% luminance) and measure outwards to define the dynamic range. Hence there are 'two sides' to our results, the amount of shadow range (below middle gray) and the amount of highlight range (above middle gray).
To most people highlight range is the first thing they think about when talking about dynamic range, that is the amount of highlight detail above middle gray the camera can capture before it clips to white. Shadow range is more complicated; in our test the line on the graph stops as soon as the luminance value drops below our defined 'black point' (about 2% luminance) or the signal-to-noise ratio drops below a predefined value (where shadow detail would be swamped by noise), whichever comes first.
Note: this page features our new interactive dynamic range comparison widget. The wedges below the graph are created by our measurement system from the values read from the step wedge, the red lines indicate approximate shadow and highlight range (the dotted line indicating middle gray).
Cameras Compared
Interestingly, the Coolpix A's tone curve is rather different to those employed by Nikon's DSLRs. The curve is an elongated 's' shape, giving a slightly lower-contrast response than the DSLRs but incorporating more tonal range in the highlights.
Color Modes
The Coolpix A uses a slightly different tone curve for each of its Picture Control presets. As you might expect, the Neutral and Portrait settings have slightly less contrast, while the Vivid setting has most. The camera allows you to tweak the behavior of each preset and displays each preset on a grid, showing their contrast and saturation in relation to one another.
Active D-Lighting
The Coolpix A makes use of the Active D-Lighting system that Nikon has used in its DSLRs since the D300. Depending on the setting applied, this will reduce the exposure to increase the amount of highlight range captured. The camera then analyses the image and selectively brightens it, so that the final output represents the expected overall brightness, but with more tonal detail in the highlight regions, balanced shadow regions and a retention of local contrast.

Curious to know about the durability of Fusions vs. Deep Vs. Any opinions about how much abuse the Fusions take?
Curious to know about the durability of Fusions vs. Deep Vs. Any opinions about how much abuse the Fusions take?
This was helpful. http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/velocity.asp
Last edited by cartesian; 08-15-14 at 11:03 AM.
Had Velocity Deep V's on my roadbike for about a year.
Rear was built by Peter White and front was built by Bike Works, NYC.
Didn't buy them at the same time, both 32 holes. Handled NYC potholes
and my big rear with no problems.
My first thought was to just go w Deep Vs. I just wonder if the Fusions will stand up to aggressive city riding, curb jumping, bad roads, etc.
I'm not that big. About 140. Would build them up w 32 hole hubs.
Also considering H+Son Archetypes. I think both of those are a little cheaper and a little lighter than DVs. That's pretty much where I'm coming from.
You are 140 lbs? Don't even worry about it. I'm 225lbs and curbs and gnarly **** aren't giving me any problems. I'm riding my Steamrollers Alex DA22, which are close to the same dimensions as the fusions (22mm deep, 14mm interior width vs. 25mm deep, 15mm interior width).
Long story short, if you like the Fusions, they are probably going to be a great rim for you. If you like the Archetypes, they will work well too. The Archetypes are said to feel better on fast corners due to their width. Same depth as the Fusions but wider (25mm deep, 23mm exterior width).
I built a backup road bike rear wheel based on the 32H Velocity Fusion with MSW in 2012. The rim is well made and has survived both my bulk and the local roads just fine. I have 2000 logged miles on it since then and am now using it as my primary.
That's good to hear. I think these are all quality products. For me, it's a question of trying to get the right rim so I don't end up with a taco when I hit curb.

^ my god! thanks
Long time lurker. Thanks for the deals, guys. Created an account just to pay it forward on a deal I spotted last night.
Competitive Cyclist has a smashing deal on some 3T stuff right now, but for me namely the Ergonova bars:
3T Ergonova Team carbon (red, not stealth) 38, 40, 42 for $162 http://www.competitivecyclist.com/3t...VsdHM6M1Q6MToy
3T Ergonova LTD(!) carbon 40, 42, 44 $200 http://www.competitivecyclist.com/3t...VsdHM6M1Q6MTox
Been watching these for a few weeks across the net, hadn't seen them so cheap.
Last edited by cgreenoh; 08-28-13 at 06:39 AM. Reason: Fixed price of team bar, was high by $3 :D Also, Ergonova. D'oh.
Also, twinsix humpday sale...although, I have a pile of stuff in my basket right now and it's not coming up onsale:
Big sale at www.theclymb.com today. w's jerseys for $15 and a ton of other stuff. It's their "warehouse" sale so bigger markdowns than usual. Sugoi and Pearl Izumi.
And if you use this link, I get a discount for the referral :-)
^ Thanks! Used your link and signed up. Nothing I want to buy immediately, though at those prices picking up a couple jerseys almost seems like a no brainer if I didn't have 3, 2 of which are almost new as it is. Just bought some of the PI leg warmers from the other post. Also picked up PI arm warmers a month ago for ~$9 on Amazon. Price varies with size and color for those.
I signed in too, and bought a giordana forma red jersey for 50$, thanks!
Damn, bummed I missed the Ergonova LTD in 44cm...
as a very new cyclist I can't thank you guys for the effort put forth in sharing the good deals. I'll be paying close attention to this as my wallet recovers from the bike purchase.

Why: Looking for a different kind of cuisine? Muddy Waters may be your answer. Chef and owner Sebastian Carosi has put together a southern bar and from-scratch-kitchen that promises the largest pre-prohibition selection fashioned entirely from local spirits, and menu items prepared with products from more than 25 local farmers.
Carosi also forages for ingredients such as stinging nettles, dandelion greens, field mustard, wood sorrel, wild celery, salmon berries and much more to provide additional local flavor. All the unusual ingredients and innovative recipes are brought together to create a menu of whimsical character and cuisine not too often found this far west of the Deep South.
In addition to the local culinary scene, Carosi draws his southern inspiration from years working in Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, where he was taught the standards found on dinner tables in the South.
Atmosphere: Formerly the home of Crave Grille, Muddy Waters feels like a bar, first and foremost, with the entry space occupied primarily by the bar. To the left, a long hallway takes diners to the back that opens up to two dining rooms that exude simple elegance with tables neatly dressed with table clothes topped with paper-bag-brown butcher's paper above handsome wood flooring. Beyond the dining rooms, one of which is set up banquet style, there is an outdoor deck with additional seating.
What I tried: To start, I ordered the dirty fat-back fries made from Oregon grown potatoes, crispy pork belly bits, fried herbs, pickled peppers, rosemary crushed garlic, and cheese. Alongside, a small tub of truffle catsup is included for dipping. I tried the turtle soup, made with wild nettles and heirloom plantation rice, and the seductive crawfish mac-n-cheese. My dining companion had the Napoleon avenue barbecued gulf shrimp that came with a portion of crusty peasant bread.
The fatback fries possessed the essence of homemade fries with the added benefit of sweet, spicy, and savory for a delicious start to our meal. There weren't as many pork belly bits as I had expected and I thought more would have made the fries better still.
The turtle soup had an overall salty impression. The turtle meat tasted similar to slow-roasted beef, it was very tender, and the fiber of the meat was thinner than that of beef. The soup had a wide range of colorful ingredients in the thin, murky base. I thought all of them soup-worthy save one, the small pieces of wild fennel stalk. These were tough and reminded me of chewed sunflower seeds. I was glad to have tried the turtle soup, but it weighed in with more cons than pros and, therefore, I wouldn't order it again.
The crawfish mac-n-cheese was a rich, cheesy mixture of ditalini pasta topped with fine bread crumbs with just a few delicious crawfish incorporated.
The Napoleon Avenue barbecued gulf shrimp were cooked to perfection and served in a southern barbecue flavor soupy sauce. The peasant bread was an excellent accompaniment to the shrimp and served to sop up the tasty sauce as well.
Menu highlights beyond what I tried: From the dinner menu, the fried green tomatoes with homemade pimento cheese and smoky blistered pepper juice sounded intriguing, as did the heritage breed pork rillettes in a mason jar with pickled stonefruit and toast.
Sunday brunch includes such items as scrambled duck eggs with truffles and shrimp with Speckled Heart grits.
For those interested in the hard to find absinthe, Muddy Waters serves a locally made absinthe from Pacific Distillery in Woodinville.
Other observations: The scope of the space is very surprising with most of the dining area to the rear of the restaurant. Service was attentive, polite, and friendly.
Carosi brings a bold new idea to the Clark County dining scene. If the crowd present on my dinner visit is any indicator, his idea appears to be a favorable one.
Cost: Most dinner menu items are less than $10, a few cost $10 to $20. Lunch menu items and Sunday brunch selections (al la carte) are less than $16. Cocktails are $8 and $9.
Hours: Lunch is served 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. Dinner is served 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. depending on the crowd, Tuesday through Saturday. The bar is open 5 p.m. until close (usually midnight), Tuesday through Sunday. Sunday Brunch is served 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Telephone: 360-816-0054.
Where: 609 W. 11th St., Vancouver.
Web: www.muddywatersvancouver.com
Health score: Muddy Waters received a pre-opening inspection and is scheduled for a routine inspection in the near future. Zero is a perfect score, and Clark County Public Health closes restaurants with a score of 100 or higher. For information, call 360-397-8428.

Miller, Karen and O'Cass, Aron (2006) Developing positive consumer attitudes: examining attitudes towards mobile phone brands. In: ANZMAC 2006: Advancing Theory, Maintaining Relevance, 4-6 Dec 2006, Brisbane, Australia.
PDF (Published Version)
Download (72Kb)
Understanding and working towards developing positive attitudes has been an area of consumer research that has received much attention. This study contributes to consumer research by examining the influence of brand status, brand significance and brand value on the development of positive attitudes towards brands. Groups of generation Y, Australian mobile phone users were surveyed and it was found that brand significance more strongly influenced brand value and attitude toward the brand, than the influence of brand status; and that this effect was stronger in the market leader, Nokia, than for a market follower, Samsung.
