Season 23, Episode 12 In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee
First Aired: September 13, 2010
Deann Borshay Liem's "In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee" explores questions of identity, memories and what-ifs as she explores how she arrived in America from Korea to be adopted in 1966, using the name of another girl. With only an old picture of the original adoptee to work from, she returns to Korea to locate the girl whose place she took at the behest of a social worker. She also examines the orphan industry that developed in Korea following the Korean War and became a million-dollar business.

Rock.. some heavy. Mostly current as well. I am looking forward to seeing several bands who are or will be touring in the states soon(I hope) such as Karnivool, Thirty Seconds to Mars, 10 Years (already saw them in Bmore but want to go again) Sevendust, Tesseract Tool and many more I'm sure. And yes I have those broke, lame and married friends who ultimately are just not into the same music as I am. I am not opposed to traveling to see music. I have done so a bit in the past but they have to be worth it..to me!
As many as I can and it all depends on who comes to town or is touring
Hi my names Jen. I live in Charleston, SC but am originally from the Baltimore/DC area. I love Charleston however the music scene here is somewhat lacking.

In addition to his work on the calculus. named in Newton's honour. In his later life. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling and studied the speed of sound. . He also served the British government as Warden and Master of the Royal Mint. Newton's First Law (also known as the Law of Inertia) states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and that an object in uniform motion tends to stay in uniform motion unless acted upon by a net external force. this is expressed as Since the law applies only to systems of constant mass. The SI unit of force is the newton. They state that a force is only needed in order to change an object's state of motion. The meaning of this law is the existence of reference frames (called inertial frames) where objects not acted upon by forces move in uniform motion (in particular. but most of his work in those areas remained unpublished until long after his death. and developed Newton's method for approximating the roots of a function. Mathematically. they may be at rest). Newton became president of the Royal Society. Newton's Second Law states that an applied force. unusually for a member of the Cambridge faculty. Newton built the first practical reflecting telescope and developed a theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into the many colours of the visible spectrum. It also demonstrated that the motion of objects on the Earth and that of celestial bodies could be described by the same principles.the foundations for most of classical mechanics. in which it was believed that a force was necessary in order to maintain motion. Newton removed the last doubts about the validity of the heliocentric model of the cosmos. the equation can be written in the iconic form The first and second laws represent a break with the physics of Aristotle. he refused to take holy orders in the Church of England. Newton also dedicated much of his time to the study of alchemy and biblical chronology. .

Both of Kirchhoff's laws can be understood as corollaries of the Maxwell equations in the lowfrequency limit -. originally invented by Samuel Hunter Christie. Widely used in electrical engineering. the sum of currents flowing into that node is equal to the sum of currents flowing out of that node. The principle of conservation of electric charge implies that: At any node (junction) in an electrical circuit. and as a major figure in Kirchhoff's circuit laws From Wikipedia.[2] Kirchhoff's current law (KCL) The current entering any junction is equal to the current leaving that junction. i2 + i3 = i1 + i4 This law is also called Kirchhoff's first law. which is used to measure an unknown electrical resistance. Recalling that current is a signed (positive or negative) quantity reflecting direction towards or away from a node. However. Wheatstone is best known for his contributions in the development of the Wheatstone bridge. this principle can be stated as: n is the total number of branches with currents flowing towards or away from the node. they are also called Kirchhoff's rules or simply Kirchhoff's laws (see also Kirchhoff's laws for other meanings of that term).encryption technique). This formula is valid for complex currents: . They serve as first approximations for AC circuits. or: The algebraic sum of currents in a network of conductors meeting at a point is zero. the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation. search Kirchhoff's circuit laws are two approximate equalities that deal with the current and voltage in electrical circuits. They were first described in 1845 by Gustav Kirchhoff. Kirchhoff's point rule. or Kirchhoff's junction rule (or nodal rule).[1] This generalized the work of Georg Ohm and preceded the work of Maxwell.conventionally called "DC" circuits.
Similarly to KCL. Uses A matrix version of Kirchhoff's current law is the basis of most circuit simulation software. which directly contradicts KVL. it can be stated as: Here. This is not a safe assumption for AC circuits. which tells us that the voltage drop around any closed loop is equal to the rate-ofchange of the flux threading the loop. Routine engineering techniques -. and Kirchhoff's second rule. n is the total number of voltages measured. and/or the magnetic field is slowly changing. even in situations where it otherwise would not have been. The amount of flux depends on the area of the loop and on the magnetic field strength. namely the Maxwell-Faraday law of induction. such as SPICE. It may be possible to salvage the form of KVL by considering "parasitic inductances" (including mutual inductances) distributed along the conductors. Limitations KVL is based on the assumption that there is no fluctuating magnetic field linking the closed loop. Therefore it cannot be the gradient of any potential.The law is based on the conservation of charge whereby the charge (measured in coulombs) is the product of the current (in amperes) and the time (in seconds). Kirchhoff's loop (or mesh) rule. The Maxwell equations tell us that the loop voltage will be small if the area of the loop is small. Kirchhoff's current law combined with Ohm's Law is used in nodal analysis. Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL) The sum of all the voltages around the loop is equal to zero. the line integral of the electric field around the loop is not zero.[2] These are treated as imaginary circuit . The voltages may also be complex: This law is based on one of the Maxwell equations.can be used to minimize stray magnetic fields and minimize the area of vulnerable loops.[2] In the presence of a changing magnetic field the electric field is not a conservative vector field. That is to say. In this way things can be arranged so that KVL becomes a good approximation.such as the use of coaxial cable and twisted pairs -. v1 + v2 + v3 .v4 = 0 This law is also called Kirchhoff's second law. KVL says the loop voltage is zero. the magnetic field is weak.
the idea that the physical and geometrical layout of the circuit does not matter. i. the deviations from Kirchhoff's laws cannot be neglected. These can be treated as the arcs and nodes of formal graph theory.elements that produce a voltage drop equal to the rate-of-change of the flux. powerful simplification. and/or high-frequency work. Topological circuit diagrams The approximations that lead to Kirchhoff's circuit laws are part of a package that also leads to topological circuit diagrams. Generalization In the DC limit.[2] For highpower.e. because it determines the magnitude of the parasitic capacitances and inductances. In the low-frequency limit.[2][3][4] . the voltage drop around any loop is zero. However. This has practical application in situations involving "static electricity".not limited to the loops delineated by the circuit elements and conductors.[2] The physical and geometrical layout of the circuit matters. This is a very useful. this is a corollary of Faraday's law of induction (which is one of the Maxwell equations). This works fine in the DC limit. but it is only a first approximation for AC circuits. Kirchhoff's laws say it suffices to use a circuit diagram that is purely schematic. this greatly detracts from the simplicity of KVL and invalidates the notion of topological circuit diagram. the only thing that matters is the topology as determined by the conductors and circuit elements connected to the nodes. In other words. high-precision. This includes imaginary loops arranged arbitrarily in space -.

The Southern League announced today that Tennessee Smokies third baseman Kris Bryant has been named the league's Hitter of the Week for the time period from June 2-8, marking the second consecutive week and third time this season the 22-year-old has been tabbed with the weekly honor by the circuit.
The Nevada native in seven games in that time frame compiling a .417 batting average (10-24), adding seven runs, three doubles, three homers, five RBI and six walks, in addition to a .533 on-base percentage and .917 slugging percentage. Bryant paced all Southern Leaguers in slugging percentage, OPS (1.450) and total bases (22) in that time period, while also tied for first in runs scored, roundtrippers, extra-base hits (six) and on-base percentage, as well as fifth in batting average.
Entering Monday's action, the 22-year-old leads the Southern League in ten separate categories, including all three Triple Crown statistics, and has posted a .356 average (80-225), adding 55 runs, 18 doubles, 21 homers and 54 RBI in 62 games for the Smokies in 2014. The infielder as of June 9 leads all Minor Leaguers in extra-base hits (39) and total bases (161), in addition to ranking tied for first in homers, second in slugging percentage (.716), tied for third in runs, and fourth in batting average, RBI and on-base percentage.
The Southern League All-Star last week was also named the Cubs' Minor League Player of the Month for the month of May, in addition to being announced as a starter for the North Division squad in the 2014 Southern League All-Star Game on June 17 at AT&T Field in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The infielder is expected to hit third for the North Division's order and begin the game at third base.
The second overall selection of the 2013 MLB Draft by the Chicago Cubs was rated by Baseball America as the number eight prospect among all Minor Leaguers by the publication, in addition to the second-best Cubs prospect behind former Smokies infielder Javier Baez. Bryant was previously honored by the Southern League last week for the time frame between May 26 through June 1, as well as earlier in the year between May 5-11. Right-handed starter Corey Black was also recognized by the circuit as the league's Pitcher of the Week for the span between April 21-27.

Is trying to be PERFECT ruining your life?
Dream of a spotless home, top career, high-voltage love life and flawless body? New research shows it's a fatal mistake...
Desperate Housewives character 'Bree' was the poster Stepford wife
While trying on a dress in a busy department store the other day, I ended up slumped in the changing room crying tears of self-pity and frustration.
The outfit, which had looked so gorgeous in a magazine, was truly awful on my out-of-shape, post-birth body.
But it wasn't just my disappointing reflection that reduced me to a sobbing wreck. There were several other things preying on my mind.
First, my partner and I had fallen out because — wait for it — he'd put a pair of dungarees back to front on our baby. (It was actually his reaction to this that caused the argument — he thought it was cute and amusing while I was behaving as if he'd committed a heinous crime.)
On top of that, my mum rescheduled a babysitting arrangement and a perpetually late friend kept me waiting half an hour for a coffee. But, on this occasion, it was the ill-fitting dress that triggered the breakdown.
After I'd pulled myself together, I acknowledged I had a crying fit every couple of months. And I knew the cause — chronic perfectionism, an affliction many women can secretly relate to.
Mine centres on trying to be everything to everyone. I'm attempting to be a perfect full-time mum because I can't bear to put my baby in nursery.
I'm also trying to work as a writer because I don't want to be financially dependent on my partner; keep the house clean and tidy; cook wholesome, healthy meals for my family; be a faultless partner, daughter, sister and friend; and shift that stubborn baby weight.
After a few weeks of aiming for the impossible, I inevitably end up feeling like a failure.
Or someone lets me down, making me feel worthless and unimportant (perfectionists always feel let down because they expect the same saintly flawlessness from everyone else).
This is when I end up: at best, breaking down in tears and vowing to change my life or, at worst, visiting my GP and being prescribed anti-depressants. This soul-destroying cycle has been the backdrop of my adult life.
My rational mind knows it is sad, pathetic and futile. I know that there's no such thing as perfect. Yet I can't seem to break free from the grip of this pernicious disease.
Of course, I'm not alone. I once read about Karen Kain, a Canadian prima ballerina and one of the most respected dancers in the world.
She gave more than 10,000 performances and, in her autobiography, said she received satisfaction from about 12 of them. Her primary feeling was disappointment.
So do many women — not only incredibly high-achievers like Karen — feel this way? Research has found that 40 per cent of women (compared to 20 per cent of men) feel inadequate in the workplace and at home simply because they don't meet the high standards they set themselves.
And my talks with friends and acquaintances suggest these figures may be an underestimate. Seemingly every woman I know feels burdened by perfectionism.
Take Fiona, 32, an accountant with an 18-month-old son. She says she's always demanded 'super-human excellence' from herself and those around her.
Stress fractures...
63 per cent of women and 67 per cent of working mums suffer from stress, but just 51 per cent of men do
'I was always a grade-A student and excelled at my career, but when I became a mother things increased a hundredfold,' she says.
'I ended up trying to do everything myself because I wanted everything to be perfect and I didn't trust anyone else to meet my high standards. I wouldn't let anyone, including my husband, feed my son because I thought they wouldn't do it properly.
'I'd be up all hours cooking organic meals for him and trying to catch up with work.
'I'd meet a group of other mums and look at what they were feeding their babies. If it was something out of a jar or packet, I'd feel smugly superior.
'I knew it was ridiculous. I knew they were probably less stressed than me, but I couldn't help it. I had to be the best.'
Kate, 51, an HR manager and keen marathon runner, is single and childless. She admits that being a perfectionist has taken much of the joy out of life. 'I never, ever feel satisfied,' she says. 'Even if I get a personal best in a race, I don't give myself a pat on the back. I start thinking about whether I can go even faster next time.
'I take no pleasure in food because, for me, it is simply fuel for my running. This also filters into other areas of my life. My house always has to look pristine — I've been known to get up at 6am to clean the bathroom — and I've never been in a long-term relationship because I haven't been able to find someone good enough for me.'
Like many perfectionists, Nicola and Kate have been diagnosed with stress and depression.So why are so many women plagued with this life-sucking condition? Why are we so scared of being average, of being our own, flawed selves?
Quest of perfection: Celebs like Amanda Holden, left, and Beyonce got their figures back quickly after giving birth which can make new mums who don't do the same feel inadequate
Dr Brene Brown, a research professor at the University of Houston, answers these questions in her book, The Gifts Of Imperfection.
She says we get sucked into the cycle of perfection because we believe it will protect us.
'Perfectionism is the belief that if we live perfect, look perfect and act perfect, we can minimise or avoid the pain of blame, judgment and shame,' she says.
'It is not the same as striving to be our best. It is not about growth. It is a shield.' But, she says, it is an ineffective one.
'The quest for perfection is exhausting and unrelenting. We go through our lives trying to be who we think we're supposed to be, doing and saying what we think people want to hear, putting on whatever mask we think we need.
'We end up saying "Yes" a lot when we mean "No2 and we end up saying "No" when we mean: "Yes, I really want to do that." '
A mask of perfectionism results in living a false life, according to Brown. We are so busy worrying about what people think and trying to be someone we're not that we lose sight of who we really are.
We also, more often than not, end up broken in some way. Indeed, many psychologists believe perfectionism is closely linked to anorexia, obsessive compulsive disorder, social inadequacy, alcoholism, chronic anxiety and depression.
The self-destructive process goes something like this: if perfectionists don't have the perfect body, they develop an eating disorder.
No marriage is perfect: Having the odd argument doesn't mean you have to get divorced
If they don't have the perfect marriage, they get divorced. If life isn't perfect, it's worthless. Flaws and mistakes are simply intolerable.
Brown, who has researched this area for ten years, has collected and analysed thousands of stories from men and women aged 18 to 87.
She has found surprising patterns — people who embraced imperfection and vulnerability appear to be living happier, more inspiring lives.
They have what she describes as a 'belief in their own inherent worthiness', unlike so many of us who have created a long list of worthiness prerequisites (I'll be worthy when I lose 20lb, when I get pregnant, when I manage to juggle working and motherhood without feeling guilty, when I get that dream job, when my parents approve of me).
So where does all this excessive pressure come from? According to Nicola Phoenix, a psychologist and author of Reclaiming Happiness, there are many factors, but society plays a big part.
'We live in a society that floods us with unattainable expectations around every topic imaginable,' she says.
'Just the other day I saw a picture of a model who had very recently given birth. She was on the catwalk and looked amazing. Even though we know this is 0.0001 per cent of the population, it can still make us feel this is how we are supposed to look.
'In addition, as a society we're not very good at saying I'm doing the best I can. Instead, we're very good at saying: "What's everyone else going to think?" '
So how do we shake off perfectionism and learn to truly accept our flaws? The answer is to take time and, in small steps, embrace our imperfections.
'First, we have to stop being so hard on ourselves,' says Phoenix.
'Perfectionists monitor themselves so closely. They give themselves very little scope to make a mistake, even though we all make errors. The key is to start small — and not be a perfectionist about getting rid of perfectionism!'
Or, in the words of the late eminent psychotherapist Shoma Morita: 'Be the best imperfect person you can be.'

Atheists hate homeopathy because [this is going to be good] they worship science[wait for it…], and not knowing the science behind it they thinkthe pharmacy is inert [wait for it…]. They think the solute molecule disappears due to dilution [get ready…], when in fact it is "quantumized," ionized into plasma by dissociation into the diluent as a perpetuating entangled wave[BOOM! Kook explosion!].
Whew. Was it good for you, too? Quantum plasma entangled argle bargle bibbity boo!
Wait. After the climax, there has to be a little letdown.
Some people just need to shut up about homeopathy until they learn more about it and it's actual chemistry…
I call that "smugma," the slime you get from arrogant cranks trying to look down on real scientists.]]>
What is less well known is that the third person on the stand, Australian silver medalist Peter Norman, was also a strong human rights advocate and although he did not give the same salute was, along with them, part of a group known as the Olympic Project for Human Rights and all three wore circular patches on their clothes with those words on them that you can see in the above photograph.
Dave Zirin has an excellent article about them and their actions.
In 1968, the main demands of OPHR centered around the removal of open bigot "Slavery" Avery Brundage as head of the International Olympic Committee, ceasing participation of apartheid South Africa and Rhodesia, hiring more African-American coaches and restoring Muhammad Ali's boxing title, stripped over his resistance to the United States' war in Vietnam. Today, Avery Brundage, Rhodesia and apartheid South Africa are thankfully in history's dustbin, African-American coaches are hired without controversy and Muhammad Ali has become a living saint.
Zirin argues that the Olympics needs a New OPHR to protest the way the Olympics games nowadays abuses the local populations of the host cities but wonders whether the athletes of today would risk vilification the way that Smith, Norman, and Carlos did.
Would athletes be taking one hell of a risk by speaking out? Absolutely. Look at what Carlos, Smith and Norman suffered. First, there was the media barrage as the Los Angeles Times accused Smith and Carlos of a "Nazi-like salute" and the Chicago Tribune called their actions "an embarrassment visited upon the country," an "act contemptuous of the United States," and "an insult to their countrymen." But the most shameful display was by a young reporter for the Chicago American named Brent Musburger who called them "a pair of black-skinned storm troopers", a slur for which he has never apologized.
Then upon returning home, Carlos, Smith and Norman faced the daily struggles of being pariahs and having to scrap just to survive. As Dr. Carlos said to me in 2003, "I don't feel embraced, I feel like a survivor, like I survived cancer. It's like if you are sick and no one wants to be around you, and when you're well everyone who thought you would go down for good doesn't even want to make eye contact. It was almost like we were on a deserted island. That's where Tommy Smith and John Carlos were. But we survived." This sacrifice of privilege and glory, fame and fortune, for a larger cause is something they never regretted.
What happened to Norman, one of the best sprinters Australia has even produced? He too was vilified and punished for his act of solidarity with the oppressed, because at that time Australia had a 'White Australia' policy that severely restricted the immigration of people of color and practiced discrimination against its own Aboriginal population.
But while Smith and Carlos are now feted as human rights pioneers, the badge was enough to effectively end Norman's career. He returned home to Australia a pariah, suffering unofficial sanction and ridicule as the Black Power salute's forgotten man. He never ran in the Olympics again.
"As soon as he got home he was hated," explains his nephew Matthew Norman, who has directed a new film — "Salute!" — about Peter's life before and after the 1968 Olympics.
"A lot of people in America didn't realize that Peter had a much bigger role to play. He was fifth (fastest) in the world, and his run is still a Commonwealth record today. And yet he didn't go to Munich (1972 Olympics) because he played up. He would have won a gold.
"He suffered to the day he died."
Although Norman was a staunch anti-racism advocate, no one expected him to take a stand in Mexico.
Smith and Carlos had already decided to make a statement on the podium. They were to wear black gloves. But Carlos left his at the Olympic village. It was Norman who suggested they should wear one each on alternate hands. Yet Norman had no means of making a protest of his own. So he asked a member of the U.S. rowing team for his "Olympic Project for Human Rights" badge, so that he could show solidarity.
The fallout was immediate for Smith and Carlos, who were sent home in disgrace. Norman was never given the chance to go a step closer. He was never picked to run in the Olympics again.
Norman retired from athletics immediately after hearing he'd been cut from the Munich team. He would never return to the track. Neither would his achievements count for much 28 years later when Sydney hosted the 2000 Olympics.
"At the Sydney Olympics he wasn't invited in any capacity," says Matthew Norman.
"There was no outcry. He was the greatest Olympic sprinter in our history."
In his own country Peter Norman remained the forgotten man. As soon as the U.S. delegation discovered that Norman wasn't going to attend [the Sydney Olympics], the United States Olympic Committee arranged to fly him to Sydney to be part of their delegation. He was invited to the birthday party of 200 and 400-meter runner Michael Johnson, where he was to be the guest of honor. Johnson took his hand, hugged him and declared that Norman was one of his biggest heroes.
Peter Norman died of a heart attack on October 9, 2006.
At the funeral both Smith and Carlos gave the eulogy, where they announced that the U.S. Track and Field association had declared the day of his death to be "Peter Norman Day" — the first time in the organization's history that such an honor had been bestowed on a foreign athlete.
Both men helped carry his coffin before it was lowered into the ground. For them, Norman was a hero — "A lone soldier," according to Carlos — for his small but determined stand against racism.
Arguably the biggest price Norman paid was the fact that his run in the 200 meters final had been obscured by the Black Power salute. It remains to this day one of the finest, and least expected, individual performances by a sprinter at the modern Olympics.
By the end of the final, Norman had shaved half a second off his best time. His full potential was never realized yet, even after the ignominy of his return, Norman bore no grudges.
"It has been said that sharing my silver medal with that incident on the victory dais detracted from my performance," Norman explains poignantly at end of "Salute!"
"On the contrary. I have to confess, I was rather proud to be part of it."
A great story of people coming together to fight oppression. It deserves to be better known.]]>
This time, he's been promoting it for months with this kind of promise:
ATHEISM DESTROYED WITH ONE SCIENTIFIC QUESTION. Right. Like ol' Ray would recognize science if it were a miniaturized complex electronic device that he could hold in his hand and then use to edit and upload video images to a larger network of computers accessible to the entire world, or something.
You know that he's lying, though. It's telling, because if an evangelical preacher actually had a devastating criticism of atheism that could be expressed in one single question, then why would he hide what it was for months, and bury it in a bad movie that everyone had to pay to see? Shouldn't he be out slaying atheism right and left, and sharing his great question with his fellow travelers so they can carry out mass conversions everywhere?
The explanation for that reluctance to reveal it is obvious, though. He doesn't have a good scientific question, and if it were made known, the scientifically competent scientists would all be rolling their eyes and saying "Pfft!" and posting the answer. He relies entirely on surprising unprepared and scientifically naive young people in order to get the responses he wants.
I'm not going to buy the video. I don't think I could even bear to watch any of it, if it were given to me for free. But I did find a review that gives away the "scientific question".
The Argument From DNA
How did the majesty of creation emerge without some sort of intelligent designer? How could that possibly have happened? This has convinced most people of the existence of God throughout the generations. However, with the advent of modern science, this debate has evolved. Atheists of old may have hypothesized that perhaps everything in the natural world arose as a result of natural processes. But they did not have a model for understanding that process, as seemingly provided in the Theory of Evolution. Ray pointed out that the advent of science has given rise to another aspect of the argument for God's existence, namely, the DNA molecule.
In an effort to elucidate the point that he was making, Ray showed the atheists in his interview a book comparing pictures of natural structures with the structures of engineering. Then he posed the question that has confronted many thinkers throughout the ages. Could this book have occurred by chance, from nothing? The answer is that it obviously could not have. But then, argued Ray, the DNA molecule contains information, it contains a message, and as such, it could only have derived from intelligence. Just as we recognize that the words on the page of a book derived from intelligence, we also recognize that the information that is transmitted in the DNA molecule must have derived from an intelligent designer.
OH DOG, I AM REFUTED. Not.
This isn't new, it isn't deep or surprising in any way. It's simply Paley's argument again, that gosh, biology is really complicated, therefore it must have had a really complicated designer. Paley, at least, presented his argument forthrightly to the intelligentsia of his time, and didn't jump out at skateboarders at the local park and demand an immediate, in-depth philosophical analysis.
You don't get to just assert that DNA
could only have derived from intelligence, because that's the question you're asking. It's as if I were to ask, "Did Ray Comfort congeal into existence out of old farts, wind-blown grocery bags, and rotting banana peels?", and in answer, I then declared that "Ray Comfort could only have derived from old farts, wind-blown grocery bags, and rotting banana peels," therefore, Ray Comfort congealed into existence out of old farts, wind-blown grocery bags, and rotting banana peels. That's not how logic works.
This feat of illogic is so old and routine that it was shot down long ago by Percy Shelley, in A Refutation of Deism.
Design must be proved before a designer can be inferred. The matter in controversy is the existence of design in the Universe, and it is not permitted to assume the contested premises and thence infer the matter in dispute. Insidiously to employ the words contrivance, design, and adaptation before these circumstances are made apparent in the Universe, thence justly inferring a contriver, is a popular sophism against which it behoves us to be watchful.
He wrote that in 18-freakin'-14. That's how old and dead this "scientific" question is, and how long ago it was shot down by a poet.
That's also why he didn't publicize his amazing "scientific" question in the promos for his "movie" — there'd be moans from every cemetery as all the old dead scientists and philosophers rose from their graves to slap goofy Ray Comfort upside the head and berate him for his ignorance.]]>
A National College Prospects Hockey League team that has yet to even take the ice for a game is being blasted on social media for the red-skinned Mohawk logo they released back in May.
Additionally on July 26th, the team tweeted "Warriors Hockey beats the drum in Erie!"
One user responded, "You must be joking. Do you need graphic design help? Or an adult in the front office?" Another user said, "Please fire your branding/marketing team."
Uni-Watch website contributor Paul Lukas shared the logo Wednesday on his Twitter account which started the massive social media response. Lukas wrote in his tweet: "Quite a logo for the Lake Erie Warriors, new team in the National College Prospects Hockey League."
Many of the large number of responses deemed the logo racist.
Ryan Adams stated on the Lake Erie Warriors Facebook page, "Seriously? This is your logo? Could you make it just a little more racist?"
On deadspin.com, contributor Barry Petchesky also ripped the logo in an the article entitled, "Hey, Come Look At This Hockey Team's Logo Before They Apologize And Change It."
Currently the logo can be seen on the team's Twitter page, Facebook page and their website.
The Lake Erie Warriors, a Tier III Junior A hockey team competing in the National College Prospects Hockey League, has not yet responded to ICTMN's request for comment.
They haven't responded. Well, there's a big surprise. :eyeroll: Yes, that's quite the fucking logo. I had no idea at all that the only warriors on the planet were Indians. As for 'warriors', gosh what an inspired choice, it's almost like you didn't spend a whole 30 seconds coming up with something. You need to fire your "creative thinkers" because they are out of creativity and not too hot on that thinking business. Apparently, the idiots who came up with this logo are unaware that the Mohawk people were (and are) a part of the Haudenosaunee, a confederation dedicated to peace. Kukúše takuni slolye šni šiča don't care about that, or the reality of Indian peoples.
UPDATE: It's the Lake Erie Gulls now. At least it was a quick turnaround, just like Barry Petchesky at Deadspin predicted. It's good they pulled it down and changed it, but really, whoever came up with this in the first place? You should, at the very least, be deeply ashamed.

Well this is an interesting story:
The battle over Michigan State University's women-only lounge began with a rival school's male professor.
Mark Perry, who teaches economics at the University of Michigan's Flint campus, had stumbled upon a news story about the 91-year-old room in MSU's sprawling student union. "They'd written about what a great space this is for women," Perry said. "They can go in and take a nap and not be worried about being bothered."
So a d00d professor at a different college read about this great space for women at MSU, a place where they can relax and study without worry of being harassed by—let's be clear here—men. And he said to himself, "Wow, I'm so glad for the women of MSU. I wonder how I can help institute the same thing here at University of Michigan?"
Hahaha. I'm just kidding.
He figured it couldn't be legal. Banning men from a taxpayer-funded study area, Perry thought, could violate Title IX, a federal law meant to protect gender equality on college campuses. So he contacted the school. Nothing changed. He sent a complaint to the Michigan Department of Civil Rights in June, but the department would not accept it because Perry had not personally endured discrimination.
Professor Perry's Civil Rights™ were totally being violated at a different university where he neither attended nor worked. Won't someone think of the discrimination this man did not endure?
Then a writer for conservative news site The Daily Caller highlighted his grievance in a July 12 story.
His grievance, people. This poor man was aggrieved! And nobody cared…except for one heroic blogger at The Daily Commode.
Perry, who blogs about financial issues for the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington think [sic] tank, followed up with a post of his own the next day: "Is it really legal for a public university to blatantly violate the civil rights of 50% of its student body?"
Next up from the nutty professor: "Is it really legal for a public university to blatantly violate the civil rights of 50% of its student body by prohibiting men in women's locker rooms and showers?"
Two days later, MSU quietly shuttered the women-only lounge.
Female students promptly revolted.
Alyssa Maturen, 19, had just switched dormitories to live closer to the lounge, where she studied at least three times weekly. The sophomore marine biology major preferred the option to MSU's gender-neutral places, where, she said, male students have interrupted work to ask her out.
She created a petition on July 18, writing, "Together we can take back our lounge." By Wednesday, nearly 5,000 people had signed it.
"I'm signing because as a male, I've never felt threatened in a public space in my life, but every woman I know has," one student commented on the Change.org petition. "I've never had to worry about people staring at me or coming up to me and forcing conversation on me while I'm trying to study, but every female college student I know has."
"I myself have specifically used the women's study lounge when initially going to the co-ed area to study, but then was harassed by a male student especially late in the evening, which continued even once I told him that I couldn't talk and had to get my work done," wrote another.
"I'm signing this because I use this space and it is one of the few areas that I feel safe," wrote another.
WHAT?! Safe spaces are for "coddling students who can't handle the real world." If you find you need a safe space on a college campus, you need to "leave, go home, hug your teddy & suck your thumb until ready for university." OBVIOUSLY.
Let's just take a look at the "real world" at MSU, shall we?
Close to 25 percent of female undergraduate students at Michigan State University have been sexually assaulted and 12 percent have been victims of attempted or completed rape, according to a survey conducted by MSU and the Association of American Universities.
Of female students surveyed, 24.8 percent experienced completed or attempted nonconsensual penetration or sexual touching involving physical force or incapacitation…Of female MSU students raped through physical force, 71.9 percent did not report the incident.
Well golly. That's ONE IN FOUR. But why would women not report their violent rapes? How can we
blame help victims if they won't even do us the courtesy of coming forward?! Hmmm…
The U.S. Department of Education determined Michigan State University did not do enough to investigate two Title IX complaints and had a poor process for dealing with sexual assault accusations.
In a report released [in September 2015], federal investigators said MSU's process for dealing with sexual assault complaints was not compliant with Title IX regulations. Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex.
"Its failure to address complaints of sexual harassment and sexual violence in a prompt and equitable manner caused and may have contributed to a continuation of a sexually hostile environment for numerous students and staff on campus during the years covered by [the Office of Civil Rights]'s investigation, 2009 to 2014," the report stated.
Alyssa Maturen's petition to reopen the women's study lounge also notes that the "lounge was a space where sexual assault victims could go and feel safe, a space away from their attacker." I mean, what kind of world do we live in where we can just violate the civil rights of harassers and rapists willy-nilly? All men must have access to every space, including—nay, especially!—those where women victims of sexual assault and harassment seek refuge. To ban men from a single room is the exact same thing as denying them access to educational opportunities on the basis of sex! This is nothing short of persecution at its most egregious, people. MISANDRY!!!11!!
Some faculty members don't think Title IX belongs in the discussion.
"It's disturbing and troubling to see Title IX invoked in this manner," said Lisa Schwartzman, associate chair and graduate program director of MSU's philosophy department. "The Women's Lounge is the one women-only space on campus. The claim that its very existence denies men access to an equal education is absurd."
Perry disagrees. The Flint professor notes that women now outpace men in college enrollment and degree attainment…You can make a case that men need more help than women on certain dimensions," he said. "Men are the ones that have fallen behind on college campuses."
Now I'm just spitballin' here, but maybe if there weren't so many entitled creeps among them, men as a group would have better academic outcomes? It seems like it would be kind of difficult to disturb, harass or sexually assault ONE IN FOUR women while simultaneously focusing on one's coursework.
Title IX was passed in 1972, stating that "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." Still, Adaku Onyeka-Crawford, counsel for education at the National Women's Law Center, said Title IX has allowed for single-sex housing and single-sex facilities.
Not to mention single-sex sports programs. I guess none of the colleges that receive federal funding has an all-male football team. Who knew? Hopefully someone will come along soon and mansplain to me how the existence of a women's
locker room study lounge interferes in any way with the educational programs, activities or opportunities available to men at MSU. Well, except for the constitutionally guaranteed opportunity to harass women everywhere at all times. That's the civil right that's really important here. Not, say, a woman's right (under Title IX or otherwise) to access educational programs, activities or opportunities at a university without being constantly preyed upon by entitled douchebros.
Of course, conservatives hate Title IX; they are uniformly opposed to equality in principle. Shutting down the women's lounge is typical of their transparent and petty "gotcha!" game, wherein they pretend to care about gender equality while perfectly demonstrating that their views are exactly opposite. I doubt I need to remind anyone here that these are the same assholes who want to strictly segregate everyone based on their biological sex in public restrooms, FFS.
If we lived in a world where equality existed, women would not require separate spaces to avoid harm by men. But we do not live in that world. Here in the real world, safe spaces for women are needed to mitigate gender inequality. Not because women are weak (they are not) or need to be coddled (they do not) but because they can sometimes use, you know, a break from gendered harassment and abuse in order to fucking read a textbook.
Alyssa Maturen's petition to reopen the women's lounge is here if you're inclined to sign and share it.
Here's a suggestion: if men are such fragile incompetents that they simply cannot take advantage of all the educational opportunities and activities at a publicly funded college if they are denied access to the women's study lounge, maybe they need to leave, go home, hug their teddies and suck their thumbs until ready for university.
Oh, and one more thing.
Michigan State was one of more than 100 schools being investigated for similar Title IX complaints. Among them was the University of Michigan; the report from that investigation has yet to be issued.
I'm sure with such exemplary professors as Mark Perry running around, the University of Michigan has absolutely nothing to worry about.]]>
Lakota Chief David Beautiful Bald Eagle, who was a military hero, champion dancer, professional baseball player and stunt double, walked-on at his home last Friday.
Chief Bald Eagle was born in a traditional teepee in 1919 in Cherry Creek, on the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Reservation in South Dakota. His name in Lakota translates as Wounded in Winter Beautiful Bald Eagle. He spoke only Lakota until the age of 12.
His grandfather, Chief White Bull, a relative of Sitting Bull,was one of the leaders who fought in the Battle of Little Bighorn.
Bald Eagle underwent the traditional sundance ceremony at age 15. At 17 he enlisted in the Army's Fourth Cavalry and eventually went from riding a horse to riding a motorcycle to deliver messages. After serving for several years, he was honorably discharged, but re-enlisted into the 82nd Airborne after hearing the news of that Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
As a sergeant, Bald Eagle parachuted into the battles fought at Anzio, Italy, for which he was awarded the Silver Star. He then parachuted into the fighting at Normandy, was injured by German soldiers and was left for dead. British commandos discovered him lying on the enemy grounds with a pulse.
After returning from the war, he met an English teacher named Penny Rathburn and married her. They became competitive ballroom dancers. She was killed in a car crash when she was pregnant with their first child.
In an interview with the Wo Lakota project, Bald Eagle says he was nearly suicidal after that double tragedy, and decided to take on daredevil pursuits. He became a stunt double, took up skydiving, started racing cars and became active in the rodeo circuit.
Bald Eagle appeared in over 40 Hollywood films. He served as a stunt double for Errol Flynn, and even met and danced with Marilyn Monroe.
In an memorial post on Facebook, Richard Bullock wrote that though Chief Bald Eagle encountered many forms of prejudice and discrimination, "he never showed bitterness, and met adversity with invincible courage and humour."
"It was tougher back then," Bald Eagle told Bullock. "I've had a rough life. But I can remember everything. From horse and cart days right up until today; jet planes and computers. When I was a boy, there weren't even any fences. No electricity lines or phone lines. No roads, nothing. You could just head out across country and you wouldn't have to open any gates or anything like that. All just open prairie. The world has changed so quickly in just one lifetime. It's so short a time. I've had a long life but it just seems like yesterday".
David William Bald Eagle / Wounded in Winter Beautiful Bald Eagle born 8th April 1919, walked on 22nd July 2016. He is survived by his wife Josee, and his many children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.

Credible dictionaries choose to be descriptivist–which is to say, they simply describe the way words are used. Contrast prescriptivist, which claims "this is the way a word is supposed to be used." Ultimately a language puritan will lose in their argument but for the simple fact that once a phrase catches on, people will continue to use it, and your dictionary will rapidly be out of touch if you don't keep up. The utility in providing a definition is to aide communication, ensuring everyone knows what we're supposedly talking about if I suggest we debate garbledina. Misunderstanding of what definition of garbledina we're using in a debate is typically how an argument goes south.
Following descriptivist logic, I don't actually mean to argue the way most people use the word "authoritarian" is wrong. Rather I have found another way the word is used in a book that technically wasn't recommended to me by Marcus Ranum, but I ended up devouring it from start to finish anyway. It's called The Authoritarians by Bob Altemeyer. That link is a free PDF hosted by the author himself. I at least recommend reading the first few pages–you might get sucked in, in part because the book was written in the noughties but practically describes Trump's rise to popularity even though it didn't happen for another 10 years.
Let's start with a statement, like "The Pope and Donald Trump are authoritarians." Most people use it this way to mean they throw their weight around but don't substantiate their arguments with pesky empirical things like evidence. You can have economic advisers speak until they're blue in the face about the wall Trump claims he will build and how bloody asinine the idea is, he won't care. Trump is right because Trump is great, Trump is great because Trump is right. Used this way, authoritarian approximately means "someone who claims authority illegitimately by force of character rather than through knowledge or experimentation."
For example, we might say PZ Myers is probably an authority on zebrafish, but unless he goes around bullying other researchers, we probably would not say he is authoritarian. But because he has performed research and can even communicate (albeit with jargon) why he believes x idea is correct about zebrafish, we can not only grant him authority on subject x but also claim that his authority is legitimate. If I were to step up to the microphone and tell PZ I disagree, and that I've got a better study (but I refuse to link to it), and that PZ is a stinky peabrain and that his beard looks totally untrustworthy, I am also claiming authority. Empiricists in the audience would be rightly suspicious of my claim, but there are some in the audience who would–through a bombastic performance and a certain conviction of belief (no matter how absurd)–find that my authority is more legitimate, simply because PZ being the good scientist he is includes qualifiers like "usually, probably, sometimes," while I'm blasting him with "PZ is always stinky, always wrong, always untrustworthy."
Altemeyer describes in his work a number of characteristics that people persuaded by such a performance share in common: 1) A high degree of submission to established authorities; 2) High levels of aggression in the name of their authorities; and 3) A high level of conventionalism. He acknowledges that many people use the word authoritarian to describe the bombastic, dishonest, intellectually bankrupt ringleaders, but explains that his model of the concept "authoritarianism" requires authoritarians to be the easily-persuaded followers, and not the fascistic cheetoes whipping them into a frenzy (those he calls "social dominators," described by another set of equally abhorrent characteristics).
Perhaps what I like most about Altemeyer's definition of "authoritarian" is that it addresses an argument I've made before about anti-Queer actions and organized religion. My opinion has been, for some years now, that even if we removed every religious organization and their adherents from society tomorrow, we would still have massive problems. I'm sure the Amazing Racist would be thrilled to hear that his opinions on rape are corroborated by at least one Catholic priest I've had the displeasure of meeting, and that if you played one of TAR's videos alongside this priest's sermons, you'd probably lose track of who was saying what because they blend seamlessly into one another. Both TAR and the priest would claim to rebuke the other, despite the similarity in both their opinion and in the rhetorical device those opinions are wrapped in–weight, anger, and energetic hand-talking–but they're pushing the same odious ideas at the end of the day.
It did not follow from this observation (as the first of many such observations) that religion per se was the source of my many ails, although a correlation was not uncommon. A complete observation on who antagonizes me for my many intersections had to account for the fact that many secular individuals have been every bit as hostile as religious ones. Altemeyer gives me a hypothesis, one I could even theoretically test*: My antagonists are authoritarians, as in people scoring high in submission, conventionalism, and willingness to engage in violence–not necessarily just the religious.
Another way of putting it: Religion is sufficient to create an authoritarian; but it is not necessary.
Altemeyer does discuss that religion frequently plants the seeds of authoritarianism by emphasizing qualities such as unwavering faith, unity, unilateral respect for parents, and deference to "God" (whom is conveniently represented by priests). But, thankfully, he also discusses that these qualities have many ways to come about even without religion.
And thus I have my explanation, my word. Authoritarian. This makes much more sense to me than the arguments suggesting I ought to spurn the progressive Christians who do more for my rights than self-important dudebro atheists who decided they were smart because they got the god question right. My problem is authoritarians, who may be religious but aren't always.
*Altemeyer has a fairly lengthy explanation for his methodology, which will probably require a few more re-reads before I've fully grasped it.]]>
Gyasi Ross has a great article up on the possibilities and problems of a Native president, When Will There Be a Native American President? [Part 1] 'Sigh,' It's Gonna Be Awhile… Click over to read the whole thing, because I'm only going to include part here.
Can we honestly tell our beautiful and brilliant Native children that, in 2016, they can grow up and be President of the United States of America?
Probably not. Based upon the evidence (as opposed to optimism or good feelings), America does not seem to fully accept Natives as real-life human beings — thus it will likely be a few generations before we can seriously contemplate that.
After this, Ross takes some time to explain the normalization which has taken place in regard to Black people, Hispanic people, and Women. No, things aren't all cherries and thornless roses with these groups, but they have been included enough in pop culture, normalized enough, that it's not a complete shock for people to see any one of these peoples in high office.
But what about Natives?
Unfortunately, it looks like that's still a long ways off. Here are a few reasons why.
First, Americans still have not normalized interactions with Natives. This is manifest in many ways in pop culture today—pop culture is very important toward normalizing a group of people. For example, for decades there are have been movies where a black person plays a president on-screen, making folks more comfortable with the idea. There have also been movies where women and Latinos/as, Asians play presidents, and every other role under the sun. That gets rid of the sticker shock of seeing a person of that group in that position. Moreover, it's also not unusual to see folks from all backgrounds acting as a different ethnicity or in a leading role where race is not contemplated. For Natives, though? Not so much. Natives are still a novelty, a character to be played on-screen and not just an ethnicity that a person happens to be. There is no Fresh off the Boat or Chico and the Man or Blackish or The Jeffersons or The Cosby Show for Native people. Plus, the prospect of a Native playing, for example, a President? Hasn't been on the radar, even in the most subversive of films.
Natives have largely been only deemed competent to play a Native no matter how incredible that Native actor is. "How well can you be a Native, Native person?"
Similarly, in my work as a writer and commentator, I largely am asked to only comment or write about "Native stuff." Now, I love commenting and writing about "Native stuff" but I've also found that "Native stuff" is a HUGE category. It's ALL Native stuff! Whether we're talking about national politics to public school funding to infrastructure and trade policy. Now, similar to acting black folks, women, Latino/a, Asians, etc. are all considered competent to speak about things that are outside their communities and universal. It is not one bit unusual for a black person, a woman, a Latino/a or an Asian to comment or write on national news. For Natives? Not so much. It's still a novelty and Natives are not deemed competent to have opinions on matters that are universal and aren't uniquely Native.
We can't speak about things that are just "human" or "American." It would be hard enough for a Native person to get a role as a doctor or teacher on TV, much less a Native President.
We also see it in regards to our tragedy. Simply stated, the mainstream largely does not care or cannot relate to Native pain or outrage. The mainstream ignores the structural and institutional barriers, for example, that allow Native women to be raped at a rate exponentially higher than other women. It likewise ignores those same structural barriers that forbid Native nations from prosecuting outsiders who peddle drugs and/or murder our people. Those same structures then, adding insult to injury, refuse to utilize its own resources to prosecute those bad actors, allowing them to prey upon our communities with impunity.
But nobody mentions that outside of our communities. If they do mention our communities, they mention the poverty without explaining how those barriers help to create and sustain that economic poverty.
As shown above, there is a perception that Natives cannot partake in these larger conversations. As we discussed, there is a lack of empathy or understanding about our communities. When those two things are combined with the mathematical fact that Natives are a tiny percentage of the population, it doesn't bode well for a Native rising to be President anytime soon. At some point, it's a humanity question as it was for women, black folks, Latino/as, etc.; are Natives reflective enough of America generally to sometimes not be considered "Native" and instead just "human?"
Can a Native person represent America? Stupid question. OF COURSE. The truth is, Natives are the story of America and are more America than America. Natives are America's dental record and thumbprint and spinal cord. You cannot intelligently tell the story of America without Native people being one of the main characters. Yet, it seems like mainstream America is a ways away from recognizing that truth.
When Will There Be a Native American President? [Part 1] 'Sigh,' It's Gonna Be Awhile…]]>
After months of preaching that the so-called First Amendment Defense Act was the only way to protect the "religious freedom" of those opposed to marriage equality, one of the nation's leading anti-LGBT organizations has done a complete 180.
In a press release published Wednesday, Liberty Counsel explained why it abruptly stopped supporting the sweeping federal legislation. As it turns out, the anti-LGBT legal nonprofit that represented antigay Kentucky clerk Kim Davis and a host of other right-wing dissenters wasn't all that worried about religious freedom. It appears the group was instead primarily concerned with making sure individuals, businesses, and federal contractors could discriminate against LGBT people without "punishment" from the government.
So after the bill's lead sponsor in the House, Idaho Rep. Raul Labrador, revealed a change in the language of House Resolution 2802 that would protect people from adverse government action regarding any "religious belief or moral conviction" about marriage, Liberty Counsel balked. While the draft bill posted on Rep. Labrador's website is dated July 7, the official congressional page for the bill has not been updated since it was introduced June 17.
"For the first time, the federal government under the proposed FADA will formerly [sic] recognize and condone same-sex marriage on par with the natural marriage," read Wednesday's press release. "Liberty Counsel can no longer support FADA unless the proposed amendment is abandoned and FADA returns to its original language of marriage being between one man and one woman."
Liberty Counsel founder and chairman Mat Staver went on to "urge all members of Congress to reject the proposed amendments to the First Amendment Defense Act that include same-sex marriage," promising that "pro-family" organizations will not be able to support the legislation unless it singles out same-sex couples for legalized discrimination. The antigay language in FADA is "necessary to protect people of faith," Staver concluded.
Seems to me that what 'people of faith' need is lot of quiet time. Quiet time used to reflect on your personal morals not only being evil, but being used as the justification to treat other people as objects to be crushed.

Noisy heaterPosted Oct 26, 2015
Pros: The hotel was clean and well maintained with pleasant staff.
Cons: Fix noisy heater
The heater in the room was very noisy and woke us up during the night. The room should have had blankets but did not. The pool was cold but the hot tub was nice. The hotel was clean and well maintained with pleasant staff.

the room was comfortable, but the furnishings were very old and beat up. I was surprised that there was no refrigerator in the room, no drinking water, no ice in the machine down the hall. But the bed was clean and comfortable. Over Priced Drinks: We ordered dirty martini at the bar and the bartender couldn't make it because there was no olive juice in the old bottle of olives she had - a small overpriced drink, not what I ordered.

Until the 1950s, the site of the Brooklyn Bridge Park was an active waterfront, but the ports there lost out to international ocean shipping just as the construction of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway cut the area off from the rest of Brooklyn. But with the tireless efforts of the nonprofit Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy, construction of the 85-acre park with more than a mile of waterfront began in January 2009, and continues in phases with spectacular resultsincluding sand volleyball courts, a pebble beach, playgrounds, and water sports. Today, head over for their Walk-Up Kayaking and Community Rowing. We cant think of any venue like this: You get exercise while getting wet, the views are phenomenal, and its free. The kayaks are in a protective cove under the bridge, so youre not out competing with the East River traffic. Community rowing is with a group and an experienced guide. No registration, just come early as the kayaks are first-come, first-served. You dont need any training, but you do need to know how to swimsounds reasonable! Meet at the Pier 1 Boathouse.
