Still mourning the loss of her pet canine Floyd who died in April, singer Miley Cyrus suffered another emotional setback when her North Hollywood home was broken into and burglarized on Friday. Yesterday, the Los Angeles Police Department reported that two individuals, one man and one woman, scaled a fence and broke into the star's home and garage.
According to a June 2 report from CNN, the thieves made off with jewelry and Cyrus' 2014 white, four-door Maserati Quattroporte. The LAPD said they responded to a call about a burglary at the residence at approximately 4 p.m. on Friday. Police said that no-one was at Cyrus' home when the break-in and burglary went down.
This is the second recent break-in at the "Wrecking Ball" singer's estate. The same home was broken into just last November, one day before the singer turned 21, according to The Daily News .
Cyrus was reportedly very upset over that first break-in in November, saying that "a lot of personal items were stolen," in addition to $100,000 worth of jewelry and purses. For the most recent burglary, property that was stolen included some expensive but an unspecified amount of jewelry, and the Maserati estimated to be worth almost $135,000.
Miley was performing in Europe on her Bangerz Tour during Friday's burglary. She was feeling both the hurt from the burglary and recent April death of her pet dog Floyd when she posted on Twitter over the weekend. Also on the day her home was being robbed, Miley posted a picture of she and Floyd to her Facebook page.
"Ya know when you just cry in the shower for no reason," the star tweeted.
"If it wasn't for the show tonight I would lay in bed and miss Floyd alllllll day."
Toward the end of May, Cyrus had to get an emergency restraining order imposed on a "crazed" male fan from Arizona who Rolling Stone reported had been detained by police at a property the man thought was owned by the singer. The man was previously being held as a psychiatric patient – and told police they should shoot him in the head if he couldn't meet Cyrus.
Authorities are requesting that anyone with any information into the burglary at the Cyrus residence to call the North Hollywood Burglary Detectives at (818) 623-4045. And for more on Miley and her beloved Floyd, see the video accompanying this article.

Why should I use the Lois system?
The Lois system is functional and convenient. As a Lois user you can:
If I have a security interest in a home, how will I be notified of any changes to the home?
Ownership changes on manufactured homes require the removal or acknowledgement of each lien holder. The homeowner must provide you with a form to either acknowledge or release your interest in the home if they are performing any ownership changes. Other changes to the home, such as moving the home, does not require approval from the lien holder. Once the change has occurred, an update ownership document will go out to the first recorded security interest holder, along with notification to all owners and any other security interest holder listed on the home.
What information can I print from the system?
Different "user" groups will be able to run various informational reports from the Lois system. There is also a function that allows the user to download all maintained information that applies to their particular user group to MS Excel and manipulate the data as desired.

Warner Bros. Cape Crusaders, Superman,with Batman, and even Wonder Woman are huge at San Diego's Comic-Con's presentation on Saturday. In front of an already hyped crowd, went nuts. At the sight of Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and new Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot.
All were there on deck for a highly anticipated mini-trailer of, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie. Especially Director Zack Snyder who said he wasn't going to let his trio of actors talk to the crowd because he didn't want them to spill any secrets. Suddenly the room was dark and then there it
was. a short teaser scene.
Featuring a dark and rain-soaked skyline where Batman, on a rooftop, ooooh...he pulls back a tarp covering the Bat-signal. He lights it, revealing Superman floating in the sky. Superman's eye lights up red, he's clearly pissed. The camera then goes to Batman's face, his eyes glowing...probaby from Bruce Waynes gold Amex card sticking out of his utility belt. After all lets be honest, that tease of a new image of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. Only pops up because yeah she knows Superman can kick Batmans rear end.
But she also knows that Batman can afford to take her to Vegas for the weekend in a $1k a night suite...hey even with female super hereos, money talks. Meanwhile, Man of Steel whose eyes blazed red with anger....because he stuck towing the line behind armored Batman bringing 2 Oscars to the table,wearing a toupee...oops...too inside, sorry.
According to the films director Zack Snyder,current filming is going great. With the films stars, Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, and Gal Gadot did not take questions. However, panel host Chris Hardwick, dressed as Marty McFly from Back to the Future, was able to take a selfie with the new core of the
Justice League.
Fans will likely be thrilled with the Frank Miller of "The Dark Knight Returns", inclusions and a battle royale between the two DC titans.
Or Wonder Woman wearing bad girl hair, complete with a pair of 40DDs a slutty leather dominatrix outfit complete with fish nets and hooker boots, looking more like a trampy Zena...Oooo.. Seen in the final shot, as the camera tracks in on Batman's face as he grimaces…
And cut to black on...Right after seeing 3D rendering of Batman and Superman! Not actual footage, but pained concept art rendering in 3D. It was pretty quick, ending with the Dawn of Justice logo.Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice ..… at least till the Summer of 2016!

After a month-long hiatus Houston's favorite "anti-art achool," Dr. Sketchy, returns this Sunday for an afternoon of booze, beats and broads. The fun begins at 2 p.m. at AvantGarden, 411 Westheimer.
Cameras and sketchpads are welcome, although photographers are generally asked to stop shooting at 4 p.m. so the models and artists can use the final hour as a more intimate posing experience. Non-artists are always welcome - you can scribble with crayons, talk with friends or just have a drink and enjoy the creative atmosphere.
This month's model, the headmistress of the Lady Grace Academy (for the instruction of burlesque and feminine arts), promises to bring her unique burlesque flair to the proceedings.
Cost of admission is $10. For more information, visit houstonsketchy.com.

Food Scoring Guide: You Are What You Eat!
I hope it is clear that I am not advocating that you eat primarily high-nutrient foods for a period of time to lose weight and then go back to your old eating habits. I am advocating that you eat primarily high-nutrient foods from now on. The common practice of losing weight for a temporary period of time and then gaining it back is of no benefit to your health. Good health is dependent on maintaining a stable lighter weight for the rest of your life. The means you should not diet. What you should do is learn to eat a nutrient-rich diet, which automatically reset your weight to a lower point permanently.

Jake Tapper is out at ABC and will now take the position of Chief Washington Correspondent at CNN and will also anchor a noon news program.
Jake is leaving ABC News for an opportunity at CNN. You'll hear more about his new anchor role from his new network. For years, Jake has set the pace for the White House press corps. A ferocious reporter – and now a best-selling author – he has built a reputation as one of the most prolific and multi-talented journalists on the beat, scoring scoop after scoop. For the last three years his fellow White House correspondents have honored his work with a streak of Merriman Smith Awards for Presidential Coverage under Deadline Pressure.
A subsequent release by CNN said Tapper will be the chief Washington correspondent and will anchor a noon network program beginning in 2013.
Tapper has been just about the only serious journalistic voice among the many so-called journalists at ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC in recent memory. ABC will replace Tapper with Jonathan Karl who will take over as Chief Washington Correspondent and will additionally have an expanded role as Global Affairs Correspondent. No surprise there as Jonathan Karl is a typical media hack who ABC can rely on to carry water for the Obama regime and the democrats. You can check some of his reportage here.
I have several questions regarding Jake's departure from ABC. Who fired who? Tapper recently asked Obama "Where have you been?" on the issue of gun control.
Dear Leader was clearly not amused. Did the regime pressure ABC to dump Jake or was Jake just fed up with the journalistic malpractice at ABC? Also, does this mean that CNN will try to recover some shreds of ethical journalism by hiring a correspondent who is unafraid to ask the "who, when, why, where and how" that used to be the hallmarks of honest journalism? As they say in the news bidness… DEVELOPING.

Residents of Deer Lake are being asked to do their part to help conserve water, including limiting the times they water their lawns.
With the hot temperatures of late, many residents of Deer Lake have been using a bit of extra water to keep their lawns nice and green and their vehicles all shiny and clean.
But all that extra water usage is causing a bit of concern and has resulted in the town issuing a public notice asking residents to conserve water.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre not going to run out of water,ŌĆØ said Mayor Dean Ball on Monday. ŌĆ£We just want to make people aware that every bit of water theyŌĆÖre using, weŌĆÖre treating. Every bit of water thatŌĆÖs going through our town is being pumped and being chlorinated,ŌĆØ he said.
ŌĆ£We canŌĆÖt separate the two. If we could separate the two that the water you turn on in your garden hose is different from what youŌĆÖre drinking, if we could separate that we wouldnŌĆÖt have an issue.ŌĆØ
But when usage is up, Ball said, some areas of the town can see a difference in water pressure.
ŌĆ£We donŌĆÖt have a water quality or volume (issue), we just have water pressure as the issue,ŌĆØ he said.
The change in pressure has impacted residents in their everyday life including showering and cooking and also restricts the townŌĆÖs ability to fight fires.
ŌĆ£When you have everybody with their sprinklers going the water pressure does affect some areas in Goose Arm Road area and we have some areas across the track,ŌĆØ Ball said.
The water conservation notice has been posted on the townŌĆÖs website, www.town.deerlake.nf.ca, and its Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/townof.deerlake.
Ball said the notice is just a standard procedure that the town and most municipalities do every year
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve had some good hot weather recently,ŌĆØ the mayor said. ŌĆ£Weather is great, but with that comes people wanting to make sure their lawns are nice and green.ŌĆØ
So, he said the town is just asking people to conserve where they can.
Conservation measures:
1. Please restrict watering lawns and gardens to the hours of 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., two days per week, in accordance with the following schedule:
(a) even street numbers on Wednesday and Saturday
(b) odd street numbers on Thursday and Sunday
2. New lawns and landscaping may be watered on any day, however, watering should be limited to the hours of 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.
3. Please use a watering can or hose with an automatic shutoff nozzle when watering trees, shrubs, flowers and vegetable gardens.
4. Please use a hose with an automatic shutoff nozzle when washing vehicles.
5. Car washes for fundraising, as well as siding and window washing is permitted with the use of an automatic shutoff nozzle. Free flowing car washes, even for the purposes of fundraising, are not permitted.

If your family isn't sold on "zoodles," definitely try them out on this one. The creamy egg-and-bacon sauce is comfort food in a bowl, and comes together super easily. I do include some fresh grated Parmesan in my version, but it still tastes delicious without.
Since the sauce itself is very wet, it's especially important to sweat your zucchini before cooking.
Paleo Zucchini Carbonara
3 large zucchini, julienned
4 slices nitrite-free bacon, chopped
4 cloves minced garlic
2 egg yolks
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
balck pepper, to taste
1/3 cup white wine or chicken broth
freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
After julienning zucchini, place in a colander set over the sink. Sprinkle with a little salt and allow to sit for at least 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Lower the heat and add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring to thoroughly coat garlic in bacon fat. Add wine or broth and allow to cook for a couple of minutes until the liquid reduces by about half.
Add zucchini to skillet and stir. Cook for 3-5 minutes until zucchini has softened but is not limp.
While zucchini cooks, whisk egg yolks in a small bowl with a large splash of hot water. Remove skillet from heat and pour in eggs. Stir to coat zucchini with egg.
Grate in some cheese and toss some more to combine. Serve immediately.

Reflections from an Urban Herbalist
By Pam Fischer, August 2nd, 2011
Many herb schools are located in the sacred temple of the woods. In these places there is more immediate access to the mindfulness of the plant spirits. There the pace of life slows and we are reminded by the breeze and the buzzing of bees about the present moment. In these temples we find teachers who have created these sanctuaries from the very depth of their hearts. They magnify their love for plants and animals creating a haven in which to learn. The human spirit loves to dance and frolic in these beautiful places.
The urban school has a different flavor, often a bit more edgy and geared toward how to serve. In these spaces we attempt to carry the plant energies from wild areas back to the place of the greatest suffering and pain. In these centers we teach not just about the herbs but how to hold, protect and feed ourselves.It is a warriors path, and not right for all. The vibration quality of the city is much more maniac, constant distractions of noise, lights, and sensory stimulation creates a far different experience. The urban herbalist must carry the wild within them. The city atmosphere requires us to perceive and respond to things quickly with both compassion and urgency all while staying grounded and centered. No easy task in the midst of so many distractions. Urban schools are also a creation from the hearts of the teachers and the manifestation of their work in the world. The urban herbalist is edgy and forthright…a reflection of the world in which they walk.
Mother Theresa work to relieve pain and suffering called her to the most impoverished areas of India, many carry on her work as nameless army doing amazing things to transform the state of the world. The urban herbalist are doing no less in the trenches of the inner city.
We are a hand in timesof cultural mental illness that provide type of sanity and direction to healing. It is not our task to care for (creating dependence) rather to enable all to care for themselves physically, mentally and spiritually (creating independence). We are herbalist, but also counselors, social workers, botanists, chemists and visionaries. We often feel inadequate to the task at hand, but are called forth to spite this feeling to that of the world needs.

Nationally, there are several things widely known about Illinois:
1) It is last among U.S. states in fiscal health;
2) It continues to owe multi-billions of dollars to state vendors, schools, hospitals, etc. who are owed money that was properly appropriated and "earned";
3) It stands atop an NBC News study of "Major Global Cities" on "Murders per 100,000 Population" (Chicago was at 19.4 in 2012, while second place Sao Paulo had a rate almost 18% lower (at 15.6 per 100,000). http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/The-Deadliest-Global-City-163874546.html
It is natural for Illinois taxpayers to wonder when there will be some true accountability for the financial and social "hole" that has been created by its political leaders. This is especially true in light of the virtual certainty that, after this November's election, the state will renege in State Senate President John Cullerton's sacred promise in 2011 that the income tax rate increase (from 3% to 5%) would be rolled back by 2015! After all, what evidence has been provided to any taxpayer that Springfield is remotely capable of running a balanced budget and spending money in ways that accomplish the essential services of state government, while minimizing waste and the (blatant) use of public funds for partisan political purposes?
One disturbing answer to this question was provided in February of this year by Illinois Auditor General, William Holland, whose thorough audit of the Neighborhood Recovery Initiative (NRI) (http://www.auditor.illinois.gov/Audit-Reports/Performance-Special-Multi/...) program initiated by Governor Patrick Quinn in the fall of 2010 was the focus of a number or heated and tense meetings in Springfield this past week (July 14 to 18). The sad but realistic truth is that, during the entire span of those tense meetings, nothing of substance was revealed except the power of party politics to override any quest for truth, justice, or accountability. Republicans were dead set upon interviewing key witnesses related to the NRI, and for fear of what might be revealed, Democrats were dead set against that prospect.
In the midst of this chronic stalemate in Springfield, made ever so much worse by the fear of those up for election in November that they might be voted out of office, it is heartening and refreshing to find at least two Springfield political figures who have exhibited an ability to move beyond partisan politics and contribute toward providing the kind of transparency and truth-telling that Illinois tax payers deserve!
These are the two figures I want to celebrate today:
1) William Holland
Holland worked closely in the 1980's with State Senate President, Philip Rock, a Democrat. He was a trusted staff person and advisor to Rock; and Rock was his political mentor.
Since then, Holland has moved on to a distinguished and exemplary career as Illinois Auditor General, having recently been appointed (without opposition) to an unprecedented 3rd 10-year term as Auditor General!
As you will see first hand in Part II of this article, Holland is rather unique among the political players in Springfield, since he is courageous enough to report what he finds, not what his party leaders want him to report!
2) State Representative Thaddeus Jones (D- Dolton; 29th District)
Representative Jones has proven to be a smooth, astute politician. For example, addressing the question of whether the NRI was flat out an attempt by Gov. Quinn to garner political support within the South and West sides of Chicago to ensure his re-election that November, Jones opined: "I wouldn't say it's buying votes; I could see (it as) currying favor." However, more recently, he has committed to pursuing the truth regarding the possible misuse of state funds!
Be on the lookout for Part II, when we will highlight the key findings from Holland's report!

Japan Says Cloned Meat is Good to Eat!
On the heels of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's announcement that genetically modified animals can enter the food supply. Yesterday, Japan announced cloned meat, like Dolly the sheep, is okay to eat. Officials claim available scientific information shows cloned animals are just as safe as conventionally bred livestock; Reuters investigates.
Actually, last year, the FDA said the same thing when they approved the consumption of cloned meat, from animals like cattle, swine or goats. But, much like their stance on genetically modified animals, the FDA does not require labeling meat as coming from clones. I guess it's supposed to be a surprise!

AT&T Inc. Option Traders See More Upside Ahead
Schaeffer's Investment Research
Call volume is accelerated on AT&T today.
Call volume has picked up on
AT&T Inc.
(NYSE:T) today, as option players place optimistic bets in the soon-to-be front-month series. Around 21,000 contracts have crossed the tape as of 1:25 p.m. ET, representing a 36% mark-up to the average intraday volume for call options. AT&T's March 36 call is the most popular strike heading into the final hours of the session, where roughly 8,100 contracts have changed hands. Nearly all of these have gone off at the ask price, implied volatility has ticked higher, and data from the International Securities Exchange (ISE) confirms that a number of positions have been bought to open.
By purchasing these out-of-the-money calls, traders expect AT&T to finish above $36 by the close on Friday, March 15, at which point the options will expire. More specifically, the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) for the calls is $0.24, making breakeven $36.24 (strike plus VWAP) for the option buyers. Delta for these calls is currently docked at 0.30, or 30%, suggesting a nearly 1-in-3 chance the options will finish in the money at expiration. Should the stock fail to muscle 2.8% higher over the next four weeks, the most today's bulls have risked is the initial premium paid.
Today's optimistic alignment isn't anything new for option traders, as evidenced by data from the ISE, Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX). During the past 10 sessions, speculators have bought to open 17,040 calls, compared to 11,718 puts. This put/call volume ratio of 1.45 ranks higher than 75% of other such readings taken in the last year, suggesting calls have been scooped up over puts at a faster-than-usual clip in recent weeks.
Additionally, the equity's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) of 1.14 ranks in the 37th percentile of its annual range. In other words, short-term speculators are more call-heavy than usual toward AT&T.
On the charts, the
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) component has added more than 17% year-over-year. More recently, the equity has bounced 7.7% from its mid-January low of $32.76. The stock is now enjoying support from its 200-day moving average, which previously served as resistance throughout November and December. In fact, AT&T is trading just below breakeven in today's session, but is still maintaining a foothold atop this psychologically significant trendline.

Of course, no one asks the most natural question of all: Why wasn't this 2-year-old girl at home with her mother instead of out "carousing" with Daddy?
Dad is identified as SANTOS BARILLAS.
Man who allegedly left child in truck at strip club faces court date
February 25, 2013 | 1:12pm
A father accused of leaving his 2-year-old daughter in a pickup truck while he drank inside a Van Nuys strip club is awaiting a March court date after his release from jail over the weekend.
Santos Barillas, 24, of Canoga Park was arrested on suspicion of child endangerment and other charges shortly after midnight on Saturday, KTLA reported. He was held on $15,000 bail, but online jail records indicated he was released Saturday afternoon.
Barillas had not yet been charged as of Monday afternoon, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney's office. Online jail records showed he was scheduled to appear in court March 20.
Police were called to the 7557 Club on Woodley Avenue after 911 dispatchers got a call that the toddler was locked in a truck parked outside, KTLA reported. There, officers found Barillas asleep at the wheel, with the girl in the back seat.
Barillas was taken into custody and representatives of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services were called to assist with the care of the child, officials said.
Investigators interviewed several bar patrons and workers who confirmed the man was inside the club without the child, police said. The suspect was allegedly intoxicated at the time of his arrest, officials said.
Officials said the temperature in the truck was about 45 degrees.

The May 2015 issue of Spectrum is now available on AALLNET. You should receive your print copy in the mail soon. Please post any feedback you may have in the comments section below!
This is my third and final post on how to talk about race in the library. If you have read Parts 1 & 2 then kudos to you for staying engaged in the conversation.
So far, I have recommended that readers do the following:
1. Pay attention to your needs
2. Be knowledgeable
3. Be impeccable with your word
4. Know your own triggers.
5. Do not believe your stressful thoughts.
6. Demonstrate empathy, but do not allow others to use their emotions to dominate you.
I have only 4 more suggestions.

7. Choose your strategy to match your goals.
"This racial arrogance, coupled with the need for racial comfort, also has whites insisting that people of color explain white racism in the "right" way. The right way is generally politely and rationally, without any show of emotional upset." (White Fragility, DiAngelo, p. 61)
At the 2014 AALL Diversity Symposium, I was criticized post session and anonymously for displaying anger. For the dozen or so of you who were there, you would know that my tones were slow and measured and if there was emotion in my voice, it was gravitas at sharing my personal experiences of a racist incident that occurred in my office in 2013. My goal was not to make people comfortable, but to share my story with the intention of opening people's eyes to the reality of everyday racism in the South today.
"I make a distinction between my professional educator role and my every day citizen role. Even though I strive to live my life in a way that treats people with compassion and respect, I do not feel I need to nor am I able to be the perpetual educator. I do not invest the same time and energy with every individual I come across as I do with my students. When I have chosen to be in the role of educator, and this is my accepted responsibility (and for which I often get paid), I believe I have a personal and professional obligation to do my best to help students learn and grow (within reasonable boundaries.) I do not believe (nor expect from others) that I must do this with everyone I meet." (Can You Love Them Enough, Goodman 2015, p. 72)
The strategy that you use when dealing with a racial microaggression from a professor during office hours may differ from the ones you use with a liberal friend who perpetrates a racial micro-invalidation without fully realizing what she has done.
The strategy you use on social media will be different from the one you use at a family reunion. What I am saying is that you have no responsibility to do any particular thing at any particular time, but actions have consequences, and you are responsible for your actions, so act accordingly. By dint of being not white and living in the south, conversations about race will come up (sometimes about predictable things and sometimes not). You will continue to have opportunities to contribute to the conversation. On any given day it is up to you to decide how you want to participate.
8. Accept that not every conversation will go as you might wish and just strive to get better at having conversations about race and racism.
Practice acceptance and foster faith in the belief that we are all just bodhisattvas walking each other home. Accept that everyone is exactly where they are at with regard to understanding how to get along in a diverse world and that is alright. Everything is exactly as it should be in our world, every bird, every flower, every blade of grass. I accept that sometimes in spite of my best intentions I will end up coming across as the angry black woman.
9. Set boundaries.
Know where your boundaries are and do some soul searching so that you know how to talk about race in a way that is authentic for you. Remember that you always have the right to remove yourself from the conversation.
10. If you spend all of your time explaining across a cultural divide, it can become tedious and demoralizing.
Find some people who share your racial experiences. Sometimes the goal of your conversation is to get, emotional support and validation that you are not crazy and for that you need people who are capable of having the same experience.
In Part, 1, I shared three suggestions for how to approach talking about race in the library:
1. Pay attention to your needs
2. Be knowledgeable
3. Be impeccable with your word
In this post, I continue to share my thoughts and suggestions on how to talk about race in the library.

4. Know your own triggers.
Chances are they are triggers because they are hiding untrue assumptions. For instance, one of my triggers is people saying that they are color blind. What they mean to say is that they personally treat everyone the same regardless of race.
However, this term has been deconstructed and rejected in activist circles because so called colorblind policies generally reinforce the hegemonic culture (and normalize oppression) while claiming to be unbiased. In other words, colorblind institutional policies pretend to be fair, but disparately impact women, older people, people of color, working class people and people from other cultures (there is only so much assimilation that a person can do without giving up their identity, an identity that enables organizations to leverage the diverse views of employees in the service of creative problem-solving).
But it took me a while to figure out that those words were a trigger and why. The stressful thought at the heart is if they are uttering these words then that means they do not respect me. Looked at from another perspective, when I hear their words and interpret it using my knowledge of the subtext even though they may have meant it with the best of intentions, I am being disrespectful to them. Moreover, every time I retell this story I spread the pain around needlessly and if I'm just telling myself in my head, I am prolonging my own pain. So this brings me to number
5. Do not believe your stressful thoughts.
Ever. Question everything and never take anything personally. Try to separate out the facts from your story about the situation. What actually happened? What is your story about what happened?
6. Demonstrate empathy, but do not allow others to use their emotions to dominate you.
"Because whites live primarily segregated lives in a white-dominated society, they receive little or no authentic information about racism and are thus unprepared to think about it critically or with complexity." (White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo 2014).
Some White people in America experience a lot of pain, confusion and resentment around race issues like affirmative action, white privilege and minority scholarships. Being called racist is to them what being called the N word is to people of color.
"No one can be authentically human while he prevents others from being so." Paulo Freire
I believe that there are people (of all races) who consider themselves racist and are self-righteous about it. I have empathy for them because the same judgment they are using to judge others, they turn on themselves with the same force and self-righteous racism cannot exist without fear and self-hatred. Most people would not identify as racist. Most people carry around some culturally influenced stories that have racist implications that they have not examined. American culture is rife with racist cultural stories, just think about Thanksgiving and Columbus Day.
It's hard to avoid ever saying anything that has any kind of racist, sexist, or classist implication because to some extent, we have all "internalized negative and inaccurate racial", gendered, and class-related stories (Can You Love Them Enough, Goodman 2015, p. 69) . I don't think being PC in all of your speech makes one automatically completely free of unexamined racist thoughts and I don't believe that it makes you racist to have an occasional unexamined thought (with racist implications) drift across your mind, even when you blurt that thought out before fully examining it. This may be a reason why some White people are afraid to talk about race, they are terrified of being chastised for uttering some unexamined thought that may have a racist implication that they have not yet identified. Whatever the reasons for White Fragility, when you are engaging in a conversation with White people about race issues, try to be acknowledge the reality of their emotional pain and have compassion, to help them learn and respect their courage for engaging in the conversation.
Extremist political parties intentionally use racist propaganda to divide the working class. The emotional pain that some White people experience as a result of believing racist propaganda is real. So even if you disagree as to the source of their pain, if you want to be able to talk about race with them, then you need to acknowledge and respect that pain and craft your communication strategy taking that into consideration.

Dolphins make cuts early
Dolphins make cuts a day early
Although the Dolphins didn't have to get down to 75 players until Tuesday at 4 p.m., an unofficial scan of the afternoon practice suggested that coach Cam Cameron and GM Randy Mueller had already made their decisions.
Among the missing were both backup kickers, placekicker Matt Prater and punter Ryan Flinn; rookie receiver David Sutton, tight ends Jason Rader and Tim Massaquoi, cornerback Shirdonya Mitchell, rookie safety Christopher Vedder, running back Ray Perkins, safety Chris Harrell and defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson.
The 6-foot-6 Sutton confirmed that he indeed had been released.
"I was surprised it happened this soon. It was a blessing to be here and learn the system," Sutton said. "I hope I get another opportunity to come back."
Because several players were wearing cover-up jerseys, this list is unofficial. Players could've been given excused absences or shown up after the 30-minute media viewing allotment expired.
The Dolphins may or not release the names of cut players later this afternoon. Also, several of the aforementioned younger players such as Sutton and Perkins could wind up on the Dolphins eight-player practice squad, which begins to take shape on Sunday.
Also of interest is that linebacker Joey Porter, who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on Aug. 7, didn't seem to have any limitations while participating in the shorts-and-shells practice.
Expect Mueller to bring in several safeties, as well as a couple of defensive tackles and offensive linemen in the next few days for workouts.

Miami is known for glitz and glamour, and generating the latest trends. While it lacks centuries of history, Miami happens to possess valuable recent history. The Miami Modern (MIMO) District on Biscayne Boulevard is a major piece of this. Lined with motels rather than hotels, MIMO began in the 1930's before degenerating in the 1960's upon the completion of Interstate 95, which diverted travelers away from the shops, restaurants, and motels along U.S. Highway 1 (Biscayne Blvd).
Today MIMO varies from block to block, ranging from new restaurants to decrepit motels, often within 100 feet of each other. For the savvy traveler though, MIMO is a treasure map of independent restaurants, boutiques, and yes, renovated Art Deco motels.
One location contains a boutique, bar, and restaurant perfect for an evening of shopping, happy hour, and dining in Miami. Serving up clever Italian in a classic atmosphere, Via Verde Cucina Rustica offers indoor and outdoor seating, and importantly, free parking. Via Verde offers croquettes of olive and cheese, pasta with truffles, and polenta sticks. Travelers just passing by can try their recently opened cantina which sells custom packages of pastas, breads, and sauce. Romantic dinners should occur inside, while more jovial guests will enjoy the outside.
Depending on your itinerary, guests can get a drink next to the restaurant at Vezzoli 69 Martini Bar before dining, or extend the evening after dinner. Vezzoli 69's ambiance is classic 1950's American Italian, with black and white picture of stars such as Marlon Brando and James Dean adorning the walls. Obviously the emphasis is martinis, the classy drink of that era. But this being Miami, Vezzoli ably spins modern concoctions such as Apple Mojitos with homemade ginger sugar.
It's probably best to shop before imbibing and consuming, and the La Boudoir boutique is situated literally upstairs from Vezzoli 69. Inside La Boudoir is a collection of retro fashion in medium price ranges from $20 to $200. This is not a consignment shop. Rather, most of the vintage items are classic labels. The store is legit and high quality, evidenced by a recent inclusion in Conde Naste Travel Middle East edition.
For travelers to Miami, visiting one location to enjoy three different experiences is a travel trifecta. After a day of photographing some of the MIMO motels, ease into thoughtful shopping, delectable dining, and refreshing drinks at this "three in one" on 69th Street and Biscayne Blvd.

COY v. U.S.
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
COY v. U.S., 325 U.S. 841 (1945)
Bernard Paul COY, petitioner,
The UNITED STATES of America.
No. 1383.
Supreme Court of the United States
June 18, 1945
Bernard Paul Coy, pro se.
Solicitor General Fahy, Assistant Attorney General Tom C. Clark, Messrs. Robert S. Erdahl and Irving S. Shapiro, for the United States.
On motion for leave to file petition for writ of certiorari.
Petitioner moves for leave to file a petition for certiorari under Sec. 262 of the Judicial Code, 28 U.S.C.A. 377, to review an order of the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. The order denied his petition for leave to proceed with his appeal in forma pauperis from an order of the district court denying his motion to vacate sentence upon a conviction on one count of an indictment for violation of Sec. 2(a) and (b) of the Bank Robbery Act, 12 U.S.C. 588b(a) and (b), 12 U.S.C.A. 558(b)( a, b).
Petitioner filed, with the district court, notice of appeal from its order and an application for leave to appeal in forma pauperis, which the district court allowed. On the same day petitioner filed his petition for leave to proceed with his appeal in forma pauperis with the circuit court of appeals, which later denied his petition. As the appeal allowed by the district court was already properly before the circuit court of Appeals, it should have allowed petitioner to proceed upon the appeal in forma pauperis, as provided by the district court's order. 28 U.S.C. 832, 28 U. S.C.A. 832; Steffler v. United States, 319 U.S. 38, 41, 63 S.Ct. 948.
The Government confesses error. The motion for leave to proceed here in forma pauperis is granted. The motion for leave to file the petition for certiorari is granted and the petition for writ of certiorari is also granted. The
order of the circuit court of appeals is vacated and the cause is remanded to that court in order that it may make appropriate disposition of the appeal allowed by the district court.

Why Wool Suits and Wool Trousers are Right for You
Wool suits and wool trousers made from 100% wool have been favored by consumers and apparel makers alike for years and years. Here's why:
A natural fiber, wool comes in many different weights and thicknesses allowing you to wear it year-round. With small gaps of air in its fibers, wool controls the climate you wear it in. It breathes, which synthetic fibers can't do. Because of this, wool is not only comfortable on the skin, but it's also odor-free. And to top it off, wool is easy to care for. Creases hold well, even on lightweight wools worn during the summer.

5 Comments to "Why Wool Suits and Wool Trousers are Right for You"
Hi Scott,
Wool does breathe. People may laugh, but if you wear a light wool blend in summer and chase a little white ball for 4 hours – your body will thank you!
Nice article.
I have been exploring for a little bit for any high-quality articles or blog posts on this kind of space . Exploring in Yahoo I finally stumbled upon this site. Studying this information So i am happy to convey that I have an incredibly good uncanny feeling I discovered just what I needed. I most for sure will make sure to don?t omit this site and give it a look on a continuing basis.
Sir, I am interested in RFJ20H suit which is labelled as Wool. How heavy is this wool, wondering if it is suitable for the tropics,
Thank you
Gilbert Leibel
That's a quikt-wicted answer to a difficult question

TC TO [ARMAND MARRAST?] ; 10 December 1838; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18381210-TC-AMA-01; CL 10: 238-240
[ca. 10 December 1838]
My dear ———, ——Inclosed herewith are copies of Admiral Griffiths's two letters concerning the Vengeur,1 on which we communicated lately. You undertook the French side of the business; you are become, so to speak, advocate of France in this matter; as I for my share am put into the post of advocate for England. In the interest of all men, so far as that can be concerned here, the truth ought to be known, and recognised by all.
Having read the story in some English book in boyhood, naturally with indelible impression of it; reading the same afterwards with all detail in the Choix des Rapports,2 and elsewhere; and finding it everywhere acted upon as authentic, and nowhere called in question,3 I wrote down in my Book with due energy and sympathy, as a fact for ever memorable. But now, I am bound to say, the Rear-Admiral has altogether altered the footing it stands on; and except other evidence than I yet have, or know where to procure, be adduced, I must give up the business as a cunningly devised fable, and in my next edition contradict it with as much energy as I asserted it. You know with how much reluctance that will be; for what man, indeed, would not wish to believe it?
But what can I do? Barrère's Rapport4 does not even profess to be grounded on any evidence except what 'the English Newspapers' afforded him. I have looked into various 'English newspapers'; the Morning Chronicle, the Opposition or 'Jacobin' journal of that period, I have examined minutely, from the beginning of June to the end of July 1794, through all the stages of the business; and found there no trace or hint of what Barrère asserts: I do not think there is any hint of it discoverable in any English newspaper of those weeks.5 What Barrère's own authority was worth in such cases, we all know. On the other hand, here is an eyewitness, a man of grave years, of dignified rank, a man of perfect respectability, who in the very style of these letters of his has an air of artlessness, of blunt sincerity and veracity, the characteristic of a sailor. There is no motive that could induce him to deny such a fact; on the contrary, the more heroic one's enemy, the greater one's own heroism. Indeed, I may say generally of England, at this day, that there could not be any where a wish to disbelieve such a thing of an enemy recognised as brave among the bravest, but rather a wish, for manhood's sake, to believe it, if possible.
What I should like, therefore is, that these circumstances were, with the widest publicity of Journals or otherwise, to be set openly before the French Nation, and the question thereupon put: Have you any counter-evidence? If you have any, produce it; let us weigh it. If you have none, then let us cease to believe this too widely credited narration; let us consider it henceforth as a clever fable got up for a great occasion; and that the real Vengeur simply fought well, and sank precisely as another ship would have done. The French, I should hope, have accomplished too many true marvels in the way of war, to have need of false marvels. At any rate, error, untruth, as to what matter soever, never profited any nation, man, or thing.
If any of your reputable Journalists, if any honest man, will publish, in your Newspapers or otherwise, an Article on these data, and get us either evidence or no evidence, it will throw light on the matter.6 I have not yet Admiral Griffiths's permission to print this second letter (though I have little doubt to get it very soon); but the first is already published, and contains all the main facts. My commentary on them, and position towards them, is substantially given above.
Do what is fit; and let the truth be known.
Yours always,

Reviewer: Hannah, 13-18 Female on Treatment for 6 months to less than 1 year (Patient)
Ease of Use
Although this pill has done its job (birth control), I have had numerous side effects from taking it. I've been on the pill for over 6months and it has caused me acne, basically no sex drive, and vaginal dryness which is probably the worst thing to happen from this pill. I've encountered SO many problems from taking this and I'm so excited to switch.
Reviewer: CaliLove87, 25-34 Female on Treatment for 1 to 6 months (Patient)
Ease of Use
I normally just take whatever Planned Parenthood can give me for free. I've never been disappointed. Not only have I never been pregnant, but these pills are clearing up my skin after the NuvaRing made my face break out like crazy.

This particular "formula" works great for me. No side effects, no weight gain, and produces normal cycles like clockwork. Only issue is I'm now over 50 and have to do something else!!

Was on this pill for 9 months and can't take it anymore. I thought the initial side effects would get better the longer I took it, but instead they only worsened.

I'm trying to get more intuition on this definition:
Let $(G,\circ,e)$ be group. A group action is a mapping $G×X→X:(g,x) ↦g.x \,$ such that:
\begin{align*} ∀x∈X &: e.x=x \tag{1}\\ ∀g,h∈G,∀x∈X &: g_1.(g_2.x)=(g_1 \circ g_2).x \tag{2} & \end{align*}
Is there some kind of intuition behind this definitions ? From the examples I've seen it seems like you always get a bijective mapping $X →X:x↦g(x)$. Is this the idea ? That $G$ acts on $X$ if all elements of $g$ are bijective mappings from $X→X$ ?

#CTIA09: LG Xenon for AT&T
Also in the LG booth at CTIA 2009 I discovered the forthcoming LG Xenon for AT&T. This is a very promising messaging phone that should be coming out sometime this month.
The Xenon features a full QWERTY keyboard along with touch screen very similar to the LG Vu. In fact the UI is pretty much spot-on with the Vu, sans the Mobile TV option. Using the phone my big fuss was that I didn't like the keyboard too much. I felt like LG crammed the keys together in an effort to save space. For space-saving they did a great job, but it was with sacrificing crucial keyboard room.
On a happy note, I was impressed by the touch screen. It was a lot easier to use than the Vu was, and still features the same haptic feedback. Aside from those features, the Xenon also has aGPS, 2 MP camera, quadband EDGE with dual-band 3G (850/1900) and 2.8? 240 x 400 screen.
Check out these pics as well as those in the gallery.
Here are a few other pics of the Xenon:

As we approach the final day of voting (Feb 25, 2014) for the 86th Academy Awards, we take you behind-the-scenes for a special "Dallas Buyers Club" Cast Q&A at The Paley Center in Los Angeles. You can also watch Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto and Jennifer Garner in our Q&A VIDEO. The film has six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor for McConaughey and Best Support Actor for Leto.
How ironic to think that "Dallas Buyers Club" almost didn't get made because the funding got pulled right before shooting started, and now may win Best Picture on Sunday? Because Matthew McConaughey had already lost 35 pounds for the film, he pushed to go forward without the funding.
And it's a good thing that the money showed up because this film is not only based on a true story in 1985, but it's a very telling film about how the American medical system and the FDA dealt with HIV Aids in the early days.
When Ron Woodruff (Matthew McConaughey) gets diagnosed with HIV, he finds himself in the hospital where he meets Dr. Eve Saks (Jennifer Garner) and Rayon (Jared Leto) who is an HIV-positive transgender woman.
Because there is not enough AZT for everyone in need, Ron bribes a hospital worker to get him AZT, only to find his health deteriorates. As his days become numbered, Ron drives to a Mexican hospital in desperation to get more AZT. To his surprise, Dr. Vass (Griffin Dunne) tells Ron that AZT really "kills every cell it comes into contact with" and gives him alternative drugs.
These alternative meds become Ron's new business, which he offers to members of the "Dallas Buyers Club" with the help of Dr Eve Saks and Rayon. And the performances by Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto and Jennifer Garner make "Dallas Buyers Club" a must-see film and Best Picture likely.
During this special screening Q&A, Matthew McConaughey shared how he researched to play this role by meeting Ron Woodroof's family, "There was so much, and the family was so fair and honest about who Ron was, who he was not, they were not sugar coating him in any kind of martyrdom."
Matthew McConaughey expanded on his secret, "The diary that his family gave me, that was my secret weapon, that's what gave me the monologue of the guy….That's what really empowered me,…now I had the man who he was when he was all alone with himself. Not who he was talking to you about Dallas Buyers Club, he was a salesman, but I got a piece when I got the diary,….he was trying to sell things to himself."
Jared Leto also gave a brilliant performance as Rayon (who was not a real person). When asked about preparing for his role, Jared Leto reflected, "I think I was lucky because I didn't have some of the constraints that can come along with the obligation you can feel when you take on a character that actually lived. She does feel…as real as ever to me now. Some days I miss her a bit. There's so much to fall in love with there. She had so much grace and charm. I would hope that if I was ever faced with those enormous challenges that I would have some of those same incredible qualities that she did."
Playing the rock in the movie, Jennifer Garner, spoke about her character Dr Eve Saks, "It was tricky…Jean Marc (Director) and I talked a lot about not having too much fun and keeping it simple and not playing up to the performances around me because these guys were having such a good time and you couldn't help but feel, I want to do that, but just keeping her who she was, a medical professional who has seen all this before…and just staying true to her, and it was really well-written."
Looking back on the life of Ron and the film, Matthew added, "And HIV ironically is when Ron Woodroof, in my opinion, really found purpose and direction in his life, sad but true, he found the first thing to fight for 24/7, and he did it for seven more years."
We'll all be looking back on Monday morning after the Oscars on Sunday, March 2, 2014. "Dallas Buyers Club" may win all six awards after winning top honors at the Golden Globes because this film and the acting is just that good. And no matter how it all ends up, this classic film will be watched and studied as part of our history for many years.

The 2011 season, maybe be a coming of age for the youthful Broncos. Last year the Santa Clara University baseball team carried 17 freshmen, led by a senior class that saw four players drafted this past summer. This year the rising sophomores will have increased leadership roles on the team. Their growth from last season to this season will be crucial in the success of the 2011 campaign.
Despite the number of youngsters on this year's squad, the Broncos have players at every position that started games last year. "The younger guys gained a lot of valuable playing time last year" said Santa Clara Head Coach Mark O'Brien. "So they have some experience. I'm expecting them to act a class older than they actually are because they've played a lot. I'm excited to get things going."
SCU now into its fall schedule with players and coaches hard at work. Underclassmen such as Justin Viele and Matt Ozanne had success their freshman seasons and will look to have even bigger years as second-year players. Viele, a defensive ace, will look to build upon a rookie campaign in which he started 28 games at shortstop. Ozanne was named part of the West Coast Conference All-Freshman team, hitting .429 during league play.
The Bronco upperclassmen will look to provide additional leadership to the youthful Broncos. Curtis Wagner and Patrick Terry, two of the returning upperclassmen look to build upon the breakout seasons they had last year. Wagner, who was named an ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-American as a junior, led the team with a .404 batting average. Terry, who will be a fifth-year senior, brings versatility to the Broncos. He started games as a left fielder, designated hitter, and catcher in 2010, a season that saw SCU win 23 games.
"Curtis is without question the guy people will look to," said O'Brien of his standout first baseman. He just needs to go out and be Curtis Wagner. He doesn't need to be anything he's not. He has a personality that people will follow. Pat Terry brings a good level of stability and he doesn't back down. My goal for him is to keep swinging the bat well, but catching has to be his number one priority this year."
The Broncos will welcome back nine battle tested pitchers, none more important than starter Chris Mendoza- another sophomore. Mendoza started 11 games last year for the Broncos, pitching 66.1 innings and striking out 33 batters. The Broncos will also get Thain Simon back from injury. After a stellar freshman season, Simon didn't pitch in 2010 due to injury.
"Thain was an All-American as a true freshman," says O'Brien. "For me, he has a chance to really elevate us to the next level. He can throw three pitches at any time for strikes; he could really be our ace if he's healthy"
Santa Clara will also need to rely on new faces during the 2011 season. The class of 2014 has an array of talent that should help the Broncos immediately on offense and defense. O'Brien is most excited about his new left-handed pitchers in this year's class.
Their first series of the season isn't an easy one; the Broncos travel across the country to battle University of South Carolina, the defending College World Series champions.
"There's no down side (to that trip). We are definitely looking forward to that challenge" said O'Brien of the trip to Columbia, South Carolina, where SCU will play their 2011 season-opener the weekend of February 18. "Right now we're building the foundation of our program. It's early but we're excited about the upcoming season."
Needless to say, the Santa Clara baseball team will be hard at work this fall preparing for the 2011 season. The Broncos will play 29 games in front of their home crowd next spring. For the complete 2011 schedule click here.
