In spite of what would seem a meager existence to present teenagers, we had a lot of fun. The things I recall best included the summer parties where we played games like "Farmer In The Dell," "Lucy Lost Her Slipper," "The Miller Boy," and "Three Deep." Some were simply running games, but others were much like square dancing without music. Occasionally we had cookies and lemonade if the host family could afford them; otherwise we partied without any refreshments. The other kind of summer fun centered around a large corner hole in the creek which flowed through our farm. As many as 75 kids have swum or played in it during the day. That we could swim there was a singular blessing we Naces had. The editor of a local paper during these drouth years once wrote, "Fred Nace should get on his knees daily in thanksgiving for the springs on his farm." It was the truth. Not only did he have a fine one in the pasture for the livestock, but he also had the one that more or less kept the water in our swimming hole clean when the water above and below it was green with scum. But oh it was cold! We Naces got somewhat inured to its chilling, but when kids came out from town to swim they'd soon be blue-lipped and shaking.
I'm happy to relate that even grown-ups didn't lose their sense of humor during those terrible days. A favorite pastime was telling about or searching for a giant snake whose trail had been seen in the deep dust in various areas. Opinions ran wild as to its size. I really don't know now if the stories were all "tongue-in-cheek," or if some actually believed such a snake really existed, but the truth finally came out. Some of the men had been dragging a long stacker rope through the dust!

Back in 1955 a call went out from the editors of the then Capper's Weekly asking for readers to send in articles on true pioneers. Hundreds of letters came pouring in from early settlers and their children, many now in their 80s and 90s, and from grandchildren of settlers, all with tales to tell. So many articles were received that a decision was made to create a book, and in 1956, the first My Folks title – My Folks Came in a Covered Wagon – hit the shelves. Nine other books have since been published in the My Folks series, all filled to the brim with true tales from Capper's readers, and we are proud to make those stories available to our growing online community.

Something that is illegal is against the law, whereas an unlawful act merely contravenes the rules that apply in a particular context. Thus handball in soccer is unlawful, but it is not illegal. A third word with a similar meaning is illicit: this tends to encompass things that are forbidden or disapproved of by custom or society, as in an illicit love affair.

Recognizing Somaliland Will Help Security Of The Horn
Issue 35`
Kenyans are so alarmed by the deteriorating situation in Somalia , a Kenyan lawyer has called for Kenya and Ethiopia to annex Somalia . Regardless of what one may think of the Kenyan lawyer's idea there is no question the situation in Somalia is getting from bad to worse, and there is no question that both Kenya and Ethiopia should be concerned. To give just one example, the fall of the coastal city of Kismayo into the hands of the terrorist al-Shabab and the Islamic Courts poses a mortal threat to Kenya which shares a border with southern Somalia . Similarly, the fact that al-Shabab now control Kismayo gives their ally the ONLF (the Ogaden National Liberation Front) a rear base for their operations against Ethiopia . But the list of countries who are (or should be) concerned about what is going on in Somalia is not limited to Kenya and Ethiopia . Somaliland is in this list and should be concerned, especially since al-Shabab and the Islamic Courts consider Somaliland as part of Somalia and had directed terrorist activities against Somaliland in the past. Furthermore, al-Shabab and the Islamic Courts have never hidden their murderous designs toward Somaliland as evidenced by the statements of one of their top leaders, Mr Turki, as well as the fact that they had chosen a man who is originally from Somaliland to be in charge of Kismayo. The US and other Western countries are on this list too and should be concerned.
As the countries of the region and the international community grapple with what to do about Somalia , they could in the meantime take a step toward improving their security with very little cost, and that is to recognize Somaliland as a sovereign country, and thereby prevent the possibility of Somalia 's chaos and terrorism spreading to Somaliland .

Muses and Meaning: An Interview with Yogi Elena Brower (Part Two)
Posted By Jill Miller On January 3, 2013 @ 12:27 pm In Green Living, Yoga | No Comments
Jill Miller met fellow yogi Elena Brower [2] this past October when they both presented at the Ojai Yoga Crib [3], and the two immediately struck up a friendship. When Jill found out Elena was about to publish a yoga workbook called Art of Attention [4] (co-authored by Erica Jago [5]), she knew she wanted to have a heart-to-heart interview: teacher-to-teacher, innovator-to-innovator and woman-to-woman. Here is Part Two of her interview. To read Part One, click here [6].
[7]Q. The Internet is a great way for new yogis to explore the practice. I actually discovered yoga through books, videos and magazines as a pre-teen living off the grid in Santa Fe 30 years ago! My first yoga video was Raquel Welch [8] on Beta. I simply had no access to a "live" teacher at the time. In fact, one of the reasons I created my Yoga Tune Up® [9] videos was to inspire students through the medium of media the way I was.
The web is also a great place for both new and experienced yogis to reach out to the larger yoga community. I think you and Erica were so lucky to have found each other through YogaGlo! Given the ever-expanding array of yoga teachers who create virtual classrooms and communities, what advice would you give to an emerging yogi who is seeking to find their teacher/muse online? So many students simply do not have access to teachers in their local community or have not found a teacher they feel a connection with. What's the best way to create a real connection to an online yoga teacher [10] who inspires your at-home practice?
A. As with an in-person class, keep searching until you've found someone to warm your heart and really make you feel at home with your practice. I also use your Yoga TuneUp® DVDs [11] a fair amount, and I love those.
Q. This is a question for teachers: When you conceive of a yoga practice for your students, what are your top three priorities?
A. My priorities are that as a student in my class,
1. you feel comfortable in your own skin
2. you feel the connection between the movement and the message
3. you are more kind and attentive to yourself and others when you leave the mat
Q. What is your "desert island" yoga pose? Meaning, if you were only allowed to do one pose for the rest of your days, which one would it be? (Mine is Supta Padagusthasana #3 [13].)
A. Same as you. That supine stretch is so comprehensive and really feels incredible, thanks in no small part to your Yoga Link Hip Helpers [14] DVD!
Q. I see that "Book One" is part of the title. Are you planning more books in this same style? Or will you be expanding into a different sort of book for the future of the Art of Attention [15] series?
A. Yes. The second will be a book on the chakras [16] and will be beautiful, informative and comprehensive.
Q. What haven't I asked you yet that you'd like to tell the world?
A. That at the end of each chapter, we have placed workbook pages so you can create your own sequences, doodle, take notes on inspiring words or phrases. Delicious, collaborative pages!
Oh and that I'm ridiculously grateful for my job.
Q. Why did you decide to self-publish rather than seeking out a publisher or a "book deal?"
A. Erica and I wanted to be able to give books away to teachers and teachers in training who might otherwise not have access to them. We loved building a community around the shared goal of bringing the book to life. We also enjoyed seeing our creative vision through to the finish. We wanted to run a campaign on Indie Go Go [18] geared at giving copies to teachers and teachers in training with Africa Yoga Project [19], Every Mother Counts [20], Women for Women [21], Somaly Mam [22], Lineage Project [23], Akasha Project [24] and Yoga Gives Back [25]. The process of making a video, designing perks for the contributors, building a community and getting their feedback with inspiring comments. It was all a rush of gratitude down to the last hours of the campaign.
Elena and Erica's book, Art of Attention [4], was published in December of 2012. Elena can be found at Virayoga [26] studio in NYC. Erica [5] can be found teaching in Oahu.

8th Grade Health
Why you should wear deodorant...and other things
There comes a time in a young man or woman's life when…
Okay, enough of that old-school stuff. Shmoop's here to give you an up-to-the-minute health course on the birds, the bees, fire escape plans, Instagram safety, and then some. Beyond those staples of contemporary life, you'll also
- identify major conditions, both medical and emotional, through recognizing their symptoms.
- advise your peers (and yourself) on how to treat and solve medical and mental health issues.
- research health issues, health products, and places in your community where you can receive resources—and learn how to analyze the validity of a totally bogus "resource."
- discuss complex health issues with your peers and apply legit medical research to back up your opinion.
- write both informatively and creatively to evaluate multiple outcomes of tricky health situations.
- create visual presentations to spread health awareness (yay!).
Basically, by the time you finish the ninety lessons of this standard-aligned course, packed with articles, videos, blog entries, teen resources, and actually-sorta-fun activities, you'll be giving your teachers advice on health instead of the other way around.
…Actually, maybe you shouldn't do that. That'd be pretty awkward.
Course Breakdown
Unit 1. All Up There
This course kickoff gives you info on key aspects of mental health. We talk about emotional stability, mental disorders and depression, grief and loss, therapy, and bullying. Most important, we give you the rundown on how to spot mental health issues in yourself and others and how to get the necessary help.
Unit 2. In a Relationship
What does it mean—and what does it take—to change your status to "in a relationship"? Way more than clicking a button, apparently. This unit focuses on family, romantic, and peer relationships, with tips and reading that Shmoop 100% guarantees you can use in your daily life.
Unit 3. Your Body
Part of being a teen is thinking about your body. A lot. (And Shmoop's gotta tell you: it doesn't go away when you become an adult.) Unit 3 focuses on hygiene, workouts and eating, health-related shopping, and how to do all these tricky things in the safest and healthiest way possible.
Unit 4. Disease and the Healthcare System
Think you're too young to learn about health insurance and infectious disease? No way. Disease is what happens all around you, every day—this unit's all about educating yourself about viruses, bacteria, health care, environmental health, resources for health information, and public health campaigning. Way crucial to reaching your goal age of 200 years.
Unit 5. Sexual Health
Yes, we said "sex." And we're going to be saying it a lot more in this unit; here we'll focus on sex in the media, hormones, male and female reproductive systems, sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS, pregnancy, risk reduction behaviors, and prevention. After this unit, puberty will be a breeze. Well, it probably won't, but at least you'll be able to talk about it breezily.
Unit 6. Saying No and Staying Safe
We know, we know: drugs are bad. But in this unit, we're going to get into the nitty-gritty of how drugs really mess up, your brain, your social life, and the lives of those around you. Finally, we're going to dig into safety. We're talking survival kits, planning, and weapon safety—the fun stuff.
Sample Lesson - Introduction
Lesson 1: The Science of Sleep
What a lovely day. It's time to stop and smell the inevitable biological changes of adolescence.
In other words, welcome to the Shmoop Healthstravaganza. Our first stop is personal hygiene. Just in case that isn't an everyday word for you, we'll spell it plain: hygiene is a reflection of how clean and neat we are. Cleanliness and healthiness are related—you're probably not at your physical best if your hair is messy and your teeth are falling out—so it's not weird to talk about personal hygiene in a class about personal health.
Shmoop's not about pointing fingers, but hygiene is super important for y'all in particular, because your bodies are undergoing some intense changes that'll make it harder to stay clean and shiny. For example: how's that armpit hair working out for you?
Today we'll go over our the basics of hygiene—showering, cleaning your ears, trying not to eat raw garlic every day—and transition to the biggest boost to personal hygiene that you can make: getting enough sleep.
"Just a few more hours; then you can eat me."
It's tough, we know. Just when your growing bodies need the most sleep, we stick you in a schooling system designed to deprive you of it and make you wake up too early to shower and properly clean your ears. And you won't feel comfortable with cutting down to 7 hours of sleep until you're 40 (at least), so it's best to think about maximizing your Z's now, while those mean ol' teachers are working you to the bone.
To round things off, we'll do plenty of deep thinking and debating about your sleeping habits. Which will be torture if you're reading this at 8:00 in the morning after pulling an all-nighter. Try to stay awake, and bear with us.
Sample Lesson - Reading
Reading 3.1: Lookin' Good
Hygiene is an important part of everyday health, because clean people look healthy, and it's easier to get sick if you let yourself get dirty.
More importantly, you guys are almost adults ready to rumble in the real world. We're sad to say that you'll get judged by your appearance pretty much all the time, and if you look unhealthy, you'll have a harder time making friends, getting a job, and taking over the world, if that's your thing.
So you need to keep hygiene in mind. Fortunately, you don't have to adopt a creepy routine in order to put the most hygienic, healthy-looking version of yourself out there. All you need to do is follow this simple advice:
- Scrub-a-dub-dub: Showering and bathing are important. "Duh," you say. But before you get too sassy, know this: Thanks to all those teenage hormones, your skin and your scalp are pumping out more oil than before, and your armpits are gonna smell worse and worse. You need to clean that stuff up. Please, please, please don't forget to wash every day, and to wash again after intense physical activity. No matter how buff you are, no one will take you seriously if you're post-workout-stinky.
- Pearly Whites: Don't forget to brush twice a day, and to floss at least once. Gurgling Listerine or some other mouthwash is a nice touch, too. Healthy teeth are the hallmark of healthy dudes and dudettes. Take it from Shmoop—you can't just floss the day before you have a dentist appointment. By then, the crud and bacteria will have already hardened on your chompers, and it'll take serious pick action to remove it. Seriously, it takes 15 seconds to floss. Just do it.
- Random Bits: Your ears, nose, and nails all need some love, too. Some of you will start growing hair out of your ear and nasal cavities, and if you're not careful, you could end up looking like a gnome, especially if you neglect the ear wax that's accumulating in your hearing holes. Plus, the feeling of a Q-Tip in your ear is a sensory glory that cannot be denied. You should probably trim your nails, too: people notice when your fingers end in dirty talons and your feet look like an evil wizard's feet.
- Shaving: For the fellas out there: unless you're working in a retro malt shop in Brooklyn, you should probably know about shaving. Beards and mustaches can be cool, but stubble looks sloppy, especially if you can't grow a full beard and there are "patches" of hair on your face. If you can only grow 30 hairs above your upper lip, you might want to concede defeat and wait until you're older to grow a 'stache. Peach fuzz isn't doing anyone any favors.
Ladies, it's a matter of personal preference if you want to shave your armpits and legs or not. Some people like it. Some don't. Try out both styles and see what feels best with you, but remember you still. Have. To. Shower. Either. Way.
See? Hygiene isn't hard. It's just a matter of getting in touch with your inner cat and grooming, grooming, grooming. But we've saved the best for last: one of the best things you can do for your health and overall hygiene is get enough sleep.
As teens, you guys technically should be getting 9 hours of sleep every night, which is hilarious, we know. Between homework, extracurriculars, working, and hanging out, few of you have the ability or willpower to plunk yourselves in bed between 9:00 and 10:00.
It's worth it to maximize the time you spend asleep, however. If you're tired, then you can't concentrate as well as on your work (or your driving!), so you'll have to spend more time on those tasks than you normally would.
A lack of sleep is also bad for your health, both physically and mentally: Your organs and muscles need rest to function properly, and you might feel irritable or sad if you're caught in the foggy haze of fatigue.
Finally, they don't call it "beauty sleep" for nothing: people who don't get enough sleep will probably look pale and haggard, and they'll have more acne too, because the stress of fatigue clogs up your pores. Yay.
It may be impossible to get the recommended amount of sleep, but here are some ways you can maximize your Zs:
- Set a fixed bedtime and try to stick to it.
- Don't sleep in too late on the weekends—that'll throw off your sleeping rhythm, which is also called your "circadian rhythm."
- Try to detox your brain by avoiding electronic devices for 30 or 60 minutes before bed. The stimulation of staring at an exciting, bright screen actually makes it scientifically harder to fall asleep.
Getting sleep is tough, but it's worth it. For more about the epidemic of sleepiness in today's schools, check out this interview with a smart science lady.
As you read, compare what Mary Carskadon says to your own sleep habits. Are you getting enough sleep? How is it impacting your school/life performance? And, are the people around you doing anything that Mary suggests to make it better, or are they encouraging your decline into life as a sleep-deprived zombie?
Sample Lesson - Activity
Activity 3.1a: Comprehension Check
Before we plow ahead into the sleepy blue yonder, let's make sure all that jazz about hygiene went down smooth. Write in complete sentences, and give three examples in your response to each question.
Sample Lesson - Activity
Activity 3.1b: Dream Report!
How much sleep do you get a night? We're guessing it's not a lot. And if that's the case, you have a better idea of what it's doing to your body, even though you've only been hanging out with us for a day so far. We don't mess around!
For today's activity, we'd like you to do some writing for us. Three brief paragraphs (3-4 sentences each) will do the trick. We're looking for some personal reflections, not a formal essay. Yet.
- In the first paragraph, tell us how much sleep you usually get every night—noting if there's a difference between weekend and weeknight sleep. Then explain what Mary Carskadon would say about your sleep totals: Would she be psyched, or would she be worried? Why? Definitely relate your answers to the reading, guys.
- In the second paragraph, think aloud about your sleeping habits and what they're doing to your overall health. How are your skin, attention span, friendships, and performance in the classroom affected?
- In the final paragraph, let us know if you could make changes to your sleeping habits. Do you need more sleep? If so, what could you do to sneak in a few more winks? Or would that be absolutely impossible, given your current routine?
When you're done, post your results to the discussion board and read through your classmates' experiences with sleep. We'd also like you to respond to at least two of their posts, but don't just say "I hear you, man" or "God, I hate you." (We're supposed to be nice, remember?) Compare your situation to their own (using details) and say what you would do in their place.
And as always, be nice. Any cruel comments will haunt you in nightmares. And then that's even less sleep for you.

Been busy getting this new CD together. FRISKIN' THE WHISKERS
is the name of our endeavor and it's more than a little different from our usual fare.
Conceived as a record for swing dancing, but its so expertly done by the Mighty Fines
that it makes for great listening - even if you just SIT THERE.
So lace up or just get comfortable and dive in.
Macy Blackman
"Finger Poppin' Time", from Friskin' the Whiskers
Macy Blackman and the Mighty Fines
"The Bay Area favorites sound mighty fine, indeed, as they fire up vintage New Orleans-style R&B/boogie. The new album is bursting with vim and vigor. Boasting Blackman's rollicking piano and cornet, plus Bing Nathan on bass, Larry Vann on drums, Ken "Snakebite" on bari sax and Nancy Wright on tenor sax. Wright sounds super saucy, singing on numbers like "You Can Have My Husband." Blackman's own bluesy voice rings out robustly on numerous numbers like "Roll With Me Baby."
"Friskin'" is an instant party. You can't sit still when Blackman and company start ripping through tunes like "Shark Rattle and Roll," "Honey Hush" and "Sea Cruise." Known for their rousing live shows, this band cooks with hot sauce."

By Staff Sgt. Javier OronaMay 12, 2014
Five years ago, 2nd Lt. Stephanie Hecker could not have guessed where life would lead her. The Army was an option, but she never imagined it would lead to her current position.
The long days and nights conducting fire missions with the cannons in her battery don't bother her one bit. Hecker says that jumping from a plane in flight with her fellow Paratroopers in the dark of the night is actually pretty fun. As a matter of fact, Hecker doesn't even acknowledge the difference between her and her coworkers until its time to ask for a woman's point of view on a topic.
In April of this year, the Army released a posture statement in regards to women entering duty positions which were previously closed to them.
"Women continue to play an important role in making our Army the best in the world. We are validating occupational standards for integrating women into all career fields. By reinforcing universal standards for each Soldier-regardless of gender-in a deliberate, measured and responsible manner we increase unit readiness, cohesion and morale while allowing for qualification based on performance, not gender, across our profession."
The Army recently made changes that opened up positions, which were previously closed to females, as part of Soldier 2020. Part of the change affords female officers the opportunity to perform battery commander and platoon leader duties with field artillery battalions.
Hecker, a platoon leader with Battery A, 3rd Battalion, 319th Airborne Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, is one of the first females to be integrated into a platoon leader position within an artillery battery.
A native of Lake Zurich, Illinois, Hecker grew up in a military household. Her father, a commander in the Navy Reserve, spoke with Hecker about his experiences and motivated her to join the military. Her family frequented base events throughout her childhood and she grew accustomed to the lifestyle.
Hecker didn't want to leave the military lifestyle behind so she made the decision to join the Reserve Officer Training Corps program at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois. She knew she could continue her love of distance running, travel, and at the same time gather a wealth of knowledge. Her choice to go into the Army instead of the Navy was purely due to a preference in the Army tradition and the challenge of something new.
"I didn't know as much about the Army from direct exposure as I did with the Navy," said Hecker. "I wanted to do something that would get me out of my comfort zone."
Upon graduating college Hecker commissioned as a second lieutenant and began her journey on active duty. Initially she wanted to work in a career field that related to her health degree, but changed her mind after another opportunity presented itself.
The field artillery career field had just opened up to females and Hecker gladly accepted the challenge. Prior to her arrival to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Hecker admits she was hesitant about the 2020 concept and didn't know what to expect from her peers.
"I was excited to get out there and prove doubters wrong," said Hecker. "I'm just the same as any other lieutenant, I just happen to be a woman"
Hecker believes the Army should keep pushing for women in combat arms positions and that waiting to do so won't necessarily make things better. She also believes that the 2020 goal is realistic and that gender shouldn't play a role in getting a mission done.
Since joining her battery, Hecker says that she hasn't felt any pressure or had to deal with any uncomfortable situations. There have been no incidents that have taken place due to her gender and she doesn't believe any will. She said the paratroopers in her battery have been extremely supportive of her involvement and have made it clear that they don't consider her to be any different than them.
"These Paratroopers never served around females," said Cpt. James Langdeaux, commander of B Battery, 3rd Battalion 319th Airborne Field Artillery Regiment, 1st BCT. "They were standoffish at first, but then accepted her into the ranks as a member of the battery."
Hecker says being part of her battery is exciting and that after all of her training she's happy she has the opportunity to put it to use. After completing the same training as the men in her career field she says she's relieved that the Army decided to give women a chance to prove they could perform on the same level.
"Being on a gun line is so far from what I ever thought I'd do" said Hecker. "I've become so much more confident, and I'm proud of being a Gun Devil."
Although she says she enjoys hearing the cannons go off, Hecker says her favorite thing about her job is the overall experience and looking back on her accomplishments every week. She currently has completed 7 Airborne operations and looks forward to participating in more.
Langdeaux says females should be given the same opportunities as males, and that it's important for people to focus on the mission instead of gender.
"We need to change the minds of people who are serving in the Army," said Langdeaux. "Members of a team now know that [females] are very much like them--a Paratrooper and a leader."

"Top Chef Masters": TV Recap
Bravo's Top Chef Master's trailers need to be a little more honest. Last week's trailer, which quoted Chef Art Smith's "I'm going to own this show" and "I can teach you a few things," suggested a new level of cattiness, when in fact, Chef Smith turned out to be a twinkly-eyed Santa-type, or as competitor Jonathan Waxman called him, "a big honey bear." (When the quotes aired, it was clear that Chef Smith was playfully joking.)
The last TCM episode before the final showdown was as far from a cat-fight as a show could be. Even the critics, at the episode's end, remarked how awed they were by the mutual support and admiration displayed.
But we get ahead of ourselves: "Oprah's chef" Art Smith (Chicago's Table Fifty-Two) and Jonathan Waxman (NYC's Barbuto) were joined by Roy Yamaguchi (Hawaii's Roy's) and Michael Cimarusti (L.A.'s Providence).
This week's Quickfire Challenge: make a dish based on $20 of ingredients from one Whole Foods aisle. Smith turned out an acceptable multi grain risotto with crunchy rice salad, while Waxman presented a mint, roasted pepper and lentil salad. Chef Yamaguchi, who is credited with bringing Asian-fusion cuisine to prominence, was possibly the most put out by the challenge when neither his aisle nor the pantry yielded up soy sauce. His dish, from the Italian aisle, was a fried pasta with egg, which was dubbed "weird." Michael Cimarusti won five stars for his chocolate parfait with sesame crackers and ginger sauterne syrup from the baking aisle. He said he was most surprised by the results, given that his wife is an accomplished pastry chef, so he steers clear of desserts and baking.
The last Elimination Challenge before the final: Trick in a Box (heh). In Secret Santa-style, the chefs shopped for each other and the final dish had to use seven of the 11 ingredients purchased. There was no chance of sabotage, Waxman said, among professional chefs. Chefs, even in competition, viewed each other with "great respect" and camaraderie.
Smith, whose ingredients were purchased by Cimarusti, prayed for chicken, and got it. "Food is love," Smith says warmly, and repeated throughout the episode, espousing his belief that the greatest show of affection is thoughtful, delicious food. He proceeded to make "a sophisticated contemporary Southern food" with fried chicken two ways and a mango pie. "Who don't like pie?"
Yamaguchi also had a theme this episode. "I can't think that fast on my feet, I'll be honest," he says. The challenge's improvisational style didn't jibe with his working style, and his marinated short ribs and lemongrass mahi mahi got mixed reviews.
Cimarusti's roasted mushroom with butter, olive oil and a drizzle of mandarin juice garnered rave reviews, but the mandarin sauce for his lamb with broccoli rabe and sunchoke puree proved controversial.
"My food is ugly," Waxman says, as the camera pans to a large dish covered in a dark sauce. "It ain't pretty but it's tasty." His "retro 80′s dish" (pork sausage, pork chop with celery root puree and black truffle) was memorable for its earthy taste and its flavor composition.
Waxman came in second place to Smith, who flushed as he heard the critics' glowing reviews. "Your homage to your Southern heritage was marvelous," Gael Greene told Smith, "but I can give you just. . . five stars." A weepy Smith later walked into the kitchen and still moved, told his friends, "I've never won any culinary nothing." (He does have two James Beard recognitions for his cookbook and humanitarian work.)
Next week: The Final Showdown!

Are Mobile Ads the Next Big Thing? Maybe Not
A lot of buzz among online advertising companies these days is focused on mobile ads delivered to smart phones. Google executives have even talked about becoming a "mobile first" company, and Apple and Google have both made recent moves into mobile advertising.
But Kevin Ryan, the former CEO of online-ad company DoubleClick, said he doesn't see mobile advertising delivering on those promises soon. Mr. Ryan, who left DoubleClick in 2005 and is the founder and chairman of high-end retailer Gilt Groupe, said that he has long been asked about mobile advertising and that "the real answer" is that he doesn't think mobile is going to be as big as people think — although he learned very quickly that "the answer that people want to hear is that mobile is going to be huge."
"Even today … there is almost no mobile advertising," he said at an Internet, media and telecom conference held by financial-services firm Jefferies. "The screen is just too small," even on many of today's smart phones. Mr. Ryan said the iPad is the first mobile device he's seen that could deliver compelling advertising to consumers.
Spending on mobile ads, although growing, is still a tiny portion of online advertising. In the U.S., mobile advertising accounted for $416 million in spending in 2009 — compared with $22.4 billion in overall online advertising, according to market-research firm eMarketer. The firm had predicted that mobile-ad spending would hit $760 million in 2009, the Journal's Jessica Vascellaro and Emily Steel wrote earlier this year.
Mr. Ryan said the lack of compelling advertising on phones doesn't mean that mobile content itself isn't important, though, or that subscriptions and other pricing models for mobile content wouldn't work. "There's no inherent reason why advertising has to drive everything," he said.
Mr. Ryan also said many e-commerce sites don't get much of their purchases from mobile devices, but that this hasn't held true for Gilt Groupe. The site, which focuses on limited-time sales of goods from top-end designers, saw about 10% of its purchases coming from the iPhone and iPad combined soon after the iPad was launched. The site also has offered mobile-only promotions. Sales on Gilt are available only for a limited time, and items can sell out quickly, so Gilt users are more inclined to use mobile devices to ensure they can make a purchase. "It's just the nature of our business," Mr. Ryan said.

COPD Health Center
Experts Find Dangers in Emphysema Surgery
One surgical team found only 4% of the patients died within six months after the surgery. The death rate among patients getting traditional treatment with medicine was 17%. And the benefits seemed to last for years after the procedure. Again, treatment was focusing around patients with severe emphysema.
But this week, other researchers have said that initial optimism probably went too far.
"There has been a prevailing view -- that I think unfortunately surgeons have contributed to -- that this operation may be a temporary cure for your disease, and it's clear that it's not for this subset of patients," said one of the researchers, Steven Piantadosi, MD, PhD, of Johns Hopkins University.
A pioneer in the surgery, Joel Cooper, MD, downplayed the findings. He said they were predictable because patients reported in the latest findings suffered from disease that was widely spread around their lungs. He said they were bad candidates for the surgery in the first place.
Cooper said his team dropped out of the five-year study in 1997 over this and other disagreements, including a condition that all participating surgeons stop doing the surgery outside the study.
He also said administrators at the federal Medicare program for the elderly, which is funding the study, are seeking justification to limit, delay, or deny coverage for the surgery, which typically costs from $25,000 to $40,000.
"Medicare has used the trial for its own purposes," said Cooper, a lung surgeon at Washington University in St. Louis.
An official at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said the agency didn't interfere with the scientific decision making. The official spoke on condition of anonymity, which is agency policy.
Gail Weinmann, MD, project officer for the study at the National Institutes of Health's Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, said surgeons agreed to forgo surgery outside the study because they saw a need for systematic research.
"There was a concern about the spread of the procedure so quickly, and that it could be doing harm," she said.
The surgery was first tried more than 30 years ago with disastrous results. Improvements in anesthesia, surgical methods and postoperative care revived it in the 1990s. It is based on the idea that smaller, but healthier lungs can work better after the operation.

UT Arlington tackles some of society's most pressing challenges:
- Cancer research
- Chronic illnesses
- Environmental sustainability
- Clean and efficient energy
- STEM education
- College access and success
In addition to programs and research that address these issues, the University also educates and graduates tomorrow's teachers, nurses, social workers, engineers and city planners (among others) – the people who will lead our communities into the 21st century.
Because only 19 percent of UT Arlington's operating budget comes from state funding, philanthropic gifts are a key component to sustaining programs that help UT Arlington students learn while improving the broader community. Recent projects that have benefitted from foundation partnerships include:
- UTeach Arlington, which recruits and trains future high school math and science teachers while also helping more than 10,000 K-12 students through classroom interactions, tutoring, and internships at local nonprofit agencies;
- Paralympic Sport Arlington, a partnership between U.S. Paralympics and UT Arlington's Movin' Mavs Wheelchair Basketball Team that relies on foundation gifts to serve close to 2,000 students with disabilities and their coaches through interactive clinics, camps and tournaments;
- Innovative Community Academic Partnership (iCAP), funded by the Amon G. Carter Foundation, is a partnership that leverages the research skills of the academic side of social work with the frontline knowledge of social work practitioners to explore what programs work and why, what programs are not working and how they can be fixed, and what gaps in service exist and how they can be filled.
Other opportunities for partnerships exist through:
- First-generation scholarships
- Summer programs in math, science and engineering
- Undergraduate student mentoring
- Nursing programs for populations historically underrepresented in the profession
- Preparing culturally diverse populations for success in college
- And countless other programs…

Garcinia Cambogia drops are unique because they prevents fat cells from forming. They suppresses appetite so you have more control over your eating. Garcinia Cambogia has the ability to eliminate cravings and emotional eating. Most people eat too many sugars and carbs every day - not out of hunger but simple because we like how they taste! However, with a daily dose of this "fat busting" extract, that sweet tooth will be a thing of the past.
Garcinia Cambogia Extract drops work by inhibiting the enzymes that convert carbohydrates into fat. If not utilized for energy, carbohydrates are converted into fat and stored in the body. Garcinia Cambogia inhibits the conversion of carbohydrates into fat and promotes an increase in the formation of stored energy as glycogen. This also signals the brain to turn off hunger signals.
Liquid Vibrational Sublingual Drops are best because they absorb right into your blood stream. Garcinia pills are far less effective!
They are made from a highly stable medium using a direct vibrational charge (an electrochemically bonding which is a very strong electronical bonding).
They are not diluted and do not use the inconsistent process of succession (ie: a physical impact on the container such as homepathic manufacturing).
They are produced using a specialized proprietary machine that imparts the vibration to the liquid Quantum energetic blank material creating a consistency from batch to batch.
Fat Reduction & Weight-Management
Inhibits ATP-citrate lyase to block the conversion of carbohydrates into fat and cholesterol.
Increases fat oxidation and the excretion of urinary fat metabolites Breaks down the perilipin protein layer surrounding cells.
Increased perilipin protein increases fat storage while decreasing fat used for energy Triggers genetic signaling to down regulate obesity related genes
Satiety & Appetite Control
Increases serotonin availability and upregulates serotonin signaling genes to reduce appetite, improve mood and sleep.
Lowers neuropeptide Y levels to reduce hunger and food intake.
Cardiovascular Health
Maintains healthy cholesterol levels
Blood Sugar Control
Preclinical research suggests that Garcinia Cambogia may help maintain healthy insulin function already within normal
Those taking a statin (a cholesterol-lowering drug) should use this supplement with caution because it can increase the risk of harmful side eects, like rhabdomyolysis or muscle degradation. Those with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia shouldn't take HCA because of the risk of worsening dementia.
Be sure to follow the dosage instructions carefully.
Take on an empty stomach 30-60 minutes before a meal. Consult a doctor before taking Garcinia Cambogia Extract if you have diabetes because this product may lower blood sugar levels. If you have any other serious health problems, it is best to talk with you physician before beginning any dietary supplement.
Do not take if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Suggested Use: 10 drops twice daily. Hold under tongue for 30 seconds, 30 minutes before meals or 30 minutes prior to workout. One bottle contains a one month supply!

Lower Slaughter is a rural parish in the heart of the Cotswolds.
The village is located just off the ancient Fosseway, three miles south-west of Stow-on-the-Wold and north of Bourton-on-the-Water. Its eastern and southern boundaries are formed by the rivers Diklers and Windrush. The river Eye, more commonly known as Slaughter Brook runs through the centre
The Slaughters Country Inn is located on an area formerly known as Washbourne's Place which took its' name from the family who owned it in 1470. The building was originally divided into three farm-workers cottages with a stable block.
In the early 1920's the cottages were converted into one large private house before it became a boy's cramming school for Eton. The boy's assembly and dining room were located in our bar area, the Westbury room was the headmaster's office. The barn building was a recreation area, with the upper floor covered by a large model railway.
For some years Washbourne's Place reverted to private ownership and in March of 1988, the house opened as a hotel becoming Washbourne Court.
As Washbourne Court the hotel has undergone several changes of ownership and was most recently purchased by Andrew and Christina Brownsword in 2011. They fell in love with the charm of the property and immediately saw the potential to develop a more traditional country Inn ambience. In September 2012 the hotel became The Slaughters Country Inn.

John "The Other" Hembling on MRAs spamming Occidental College with false rape reports: "Go forward, brothers, and f*ck their sh*t up!"
This has to be my favorite quote to come out of the whole Occidental College fiasco; it's staggering in its moral blindness and fanaticism and its complete lack of self-awareness. It also captures well the peculiarly self-defeating quality of so much Men's Rights rhetoric and, er, "activism."
The backstory here: the commenter in question is none other than John "The Other" Hembling, the Number Two (or Three? I can't tell) boy at A Voice for Men. He's responding to an article on Raw Story that's indicative of the incredibly (and justifiably) bad press Reddit MRAs have gotten for spamming Occiental College's anonymous rape reporting website with false reports of rape, some of which may have named real people at the school as the "perps."
At this point in the story, even the normally obtuse Men's Rights Redditors realize they have a disaster on their hands, and are trying to blame anyone else they can.
But Hembling thinks it's the perfect time to cheer on the false accusers amongst the MRAs.
That's right: apparently jealous of all the attention Reddit MRAs have gotten for their cloddish "activism," he's decided to jump aboard this train — after it's left the station, derailed, and fallen into a ravine.
That response is classic, too

Sweden is probably similar to the UK in that our drinking culture is pretty horrible, but we have good public transport and don't rely on cars the way Americans do. Also, most people abstain from driving the next day as well if they've been binge drinking, since it's gonna take a while for all that alcohol to be cleansed out of your system.
I can have three or four beers and not really be impaired… Like, I'll be more easily-amused and giggly, but far from the point where I'll do stuff I normally wouldn't do. When I was twenty though I was a really habitual drinker and had a tolerance level to match. I could down six-seven stiff drinks and not be visibly impaired at all. That's pretty dangerous, actually…
Obviously it's bad for your overall health to drink as often as you have to in order to build up that kind of tolerance, but it's also dangerous because you can get to a state where you're much more drunk than what is physically possible for a person with lower alcohol tolerance (because the lower-tolerance-person will throw up or pass out long before zie reaches that level of extreme drunkenness).
Like, once I was having a night-out with some friends, and when I was going home, I had forgotten where I lived. All I could remember was that I lived in the northern part of the city. I did realize that it wouldn't be a good idea to just go north by a bus or whatever and stroll around hoping to stumble over my apartment, so I didn't know what to do. By pure accident I did end up outside of the building where Husband lived at the time, although by then we weren't a couple. I thought that "Yay, I can stay at his place tonight and go home in the morning! Just gotta give him a call so he can let me in." Problem was, I couldn't remember his phone number either, I only vaguely recollected what the figures were. So I began making phone calls, trying out the figures I thought was part of not-yet-husband's phone number, and rang like twenty different random people or so. Eventually, I did manage to call not-yet-husband. Me:
– Heeeeey, can I crash at your place? You see, I'm really drunk and I have forgotten where I live.
– Um, that's not a great idea, my father is here visiting.
– But come ooooooon, how am I gonna get home when I don't know where I live? Pleeeeease, I gotta crash at your place!
Not-yet-husband reluctantly agreed that I could crash at his place because he was scared that something terrible would happen to me if I was left wandering the city all night in that state. And that's how I, for the first time, met the man who would eventually become my father-in-law. I really hope that the saying "first impression lasts" is false.
The sheer size of the place doesn't help – not just the size of the country, but urban sprawl. Greater Melbourne is as big as Greater London, so I've read. So yeah, cars are very much A Thing here.
Waaaay off. The Melbourne land area is over 8.5 thousand sq km, London's only one and a half. Even Adelaide's a bit more than that – and we've only got 1.2 million people.
Damn, how long does it take to get from one end of Melbourne to the other? It can take about 90 minutes in London if you count zones 5 and 6.
John the Otter has an "article" on AVFM in which he takes a step back and offers some well thought out observations about the whole Occedental College fiasco.
J/K It's a rambling post in which he says a bunch of offensive, stupid shit.
However, it is presently at the centre of public attention and outrage, outrage because the online anonymous sexual assault reporting tool has been used exactly and precisely as it was designed to be used. The problem is that it was used by the wrong people.
While JtO is not the most articulate writer, I believe his point is that there are two types of false reports and only the first kind is made by non-victims. The second is made by "victims", brainwashed by feminism and rape hysteria, who cry rape whenever their feelings are hurt.
Thus, for victims, consent to sex, enthusiastic participation in sex, and even non-sex do not actually constitute acts of volition. Victimization, including criminal victimization, occurs whenever a member of a victim-demographic feels like it.
So, JtO thinks society should be question women who claim to be raped, because rape is now so broadly defined that it goes way beyond traditional, felony "real rape". That's actual problem, not the actions of some well-meaning MRA activists.
JtO links to a photo of a women holding a sign saying "I need feminism because men can still RAPE even without laying a hand on a woman".
Then he says:
Although the above image is likely a photoshoped fake, it correctly characterizes the meaning of "rape" in the context of feminst-defined "rape-culture."
It's an obviously faked "parody" of the 'I need feminism…" meme, but he uses it as a prime example of how feminists describe rape culture. That's a huge scoop of intellectual dishonesty in one sentence.
I didn't think about it that way, that she meant the lack of violent force. Good point.
Maybe reading JtO dulled my mental faculties and impaired my empathy. That's the excuse I'm going with.
Damn, how long does it take to get from one end of Melbourne to the other? It can take about 90 minutes in London if you count zones 5 and 6.
Count every imaginable zone. Those areas for Adelaide and Melbourne include places/ towns that some residents still gallantly resist calling suburbs – but they are. No idea about getting across Melbourne. Adelaide is basically a narrow string 20 km wide, 90 km long. With a lot of parkland in some parts and considerable bushland in a few others. Which makes providing public transport a bit of a nightmare for such a scattered population – and there's lots of resistance to infill and high rise housing, especially where it means loss of open space or sports facilities or whatever.
Johntheother, the so-called "men's HUMAN RIGHTS activist" just continues to make an abysmal ass of himself. You'd think Paul Elam would fire him, but no. He agrees. As does Dean Esmay. Instead, Paul says of anyone not liking the spamming to "fuck right off". I guess that would include other MRAs who protested it.
I wonder if this has thinned the number of drones of his crazed trolling mob. He thinks he's untouchable, that he, jto, and the rest of the avfm franchise of idiocy have a free pass to undermine safety programs. And it's Los Angeles, California — not exactly a city of angels and whose officers aren't all so friendly. The stories we hear… The LAPD have their own anonymous online report form. Women fear reprisal is why they don't always report. And even if they do report, the perp might be let out in a week, due to a shaky so-called justice system.
These are issues those ignorant MRAs don't understand. Try and explain it to them and they won't listen. They're convinced it's some feminist conspiracy to demonize men. I don't see that. It's just more MRA paranoia and misogyny, blinding all sense of reason.
@Argenti Aertheri
All Elam has done by supporting such motions (though he says one thing on his blog and another on a video, just can't make up his hypocritical mind) is show the world just what a stupid, paranoid misogynist he is. He doesn't care about women, doesn't even care about men. He has no compassion for ANYONE. All he cares about is what he can take from them to feed his condo, and the way he does that is to keep people hateful towards women and feminism. He literally makes a living bashing women and trying to undermine motions to protect them. Now how pathetic is that? VERY much so, if you ask me. There is nothing honorable, brave or masculine about him. He is worse than predators who devour on instinct. He has a choice and chose to be a complete asshole. All the people surrounding him now, even as before, are conforming ass kissers and mindless drones. He pretty much runs his own borg collective.

Get surprisingly good sound from
disposable picnicware. By José Pino
I've built homemade speakers using various materials for the cone. This design is the best. Paper plates
are too soft, and disposable plastic cups vibrate
too much, but stiff, lightweight styrofoam produces
sound quality that competes with commercial
speakers. I really mean it — you will be surprised!
Photograph by Sam Murphy
1. Cut 2 strips of paper, ½"× 11" each. Coil one strip
lengthwise around the magnet and tape it closed,
but don't tape the paper to the magnet. Roll the
other strip around the first one and tape it closed
as well, but don't tape it to the first roll. Remove the
magnet (Figure A).
2. Glue the paper cylinders to the back of the plate.
Try to position them at the exact center (Figure B).
Foam plate
Sheet of regular bond paper
Business cards ( 2)
Copper wire, 32-gauge enameled
Glue Hot glue works great.
Small neodymium cylinder magnet(s) You can
use just 1 if it's tall enough, but I used 3 thin
ones stacked together.
Flat piece of wood or cardboard Should be larger
than the plate. I used cardboard, but wood
damps vibrations better.

Law and Science Concentrations
About the Program
Increasingly, developments within scientific fields have given rise to new or revised statues or regulations. The impact of contemporary issues such as digital file sharing, bioterrorism, and global warming have all posed challenges to the understanding of law and its relationship to science. As science becomes a more prominent part of public awareness, it becomes increasingly important to expand our knowledge of both legal and scientific issues in order to provide society with a legal framework that is both fair and reasonable.
The Law and Science Concentration offers students an opportunity to focus on an area of the law relating to science. The program requires that students complete particular courses and directed research at a high level of performance. Completion of the program is noted on the student's transcript. Students may obtain a General Law and Science Concentration or choose one of the following specializations:
- Biodefense Law
- Energy Law
- Environmental Law
- Intellectual Property Law
- Water Law
- Professor Victoria Sutton, Director of the Law and Science Concentration Program; (WMV, 3m:56s)
- Laura Pratt, Law and Science Concentration Program Graduate, '09; (WMV, 2m:37s)
Top Reasons Why Law Students Get a Law & Science Concentration
- The Law & Science Concentration prepares you for a practice area that involves scientific concepts.
- The Law & Science Concentration allows you to focus on a particular area of interest, without requiring that you have a background in science.
- Completion of the Program is noted on your transcript, alerting potential employers to this focus of study.
- The Law & Science Concentration provides students with an opportunity to receive mentorship from faculty members with expertise in the area of law and science throughout their time in law school.
- The Program can be completed within your three years at the law school.
Here's What Our Grads Have to Say About the Law and Science Concentration
"Tech's Law & Science Program provided classes that were insightful and applicable. Not only did the program address current issues, but also those quick to come in the future. The Program offered guidance about what classes would be more useful to someone wishing to work in the combined fields of law and science, and this is what I needed most."
"I think the law and science program was my favorite and most rewarding part of law school, because it allowed me to go to a school that wasn't among the top 3 environmental law schools in the country, but still come out with that same expertise and land the same competitive jobs. I really think it's the best thing Tech Law has going on!"
"The Biodefense Concentration proved to be an outstanding compliment to a solid legal education. It allowed me to focus my legal studies in a unique area of law which ultimately led me to where I am today. The Biodefense Law Concentration and the Center for Biodefense are a large part of the reason that I am able to work in a field that is both challenging and extremely enjoyable. From classes in Law and Bioterrorism to National Security Law, this program prepared me to be competitive and successful in my field while earning the respect of my peers."

The excavation included re-opening a trench that had been excavated in 2011 to try and identify a structure that had been found in the second season of digging. It was determined that the item in question was 4.28 meters deep and would have sat next to the house on the property that belonged to Fr. McDermott.
In addition, the crew continued to find numerous artifacts associated with the period 1822 to 1870 including clay pipes, iron nails, pottery and animal bones. Excavation outcomes will include the dissemination of articles documenting the artifacts and the stories they reveal about the immigrant culture, exhibitions for public viewing, preservation of a National monument and an understanding of how our past impacts our present and the future.
The team will dig daily this week from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Lowell.
Next month, the team will travel to Northern Ireland to dig at the site of the former homestead of Hugh Cummiskey, who led the first group of Irish laborers on the 30-mile walk from Boston to Lowell. The group first dug at the site last summer to gain insight into Cummiskey's life before he immigrated to the United States.

Your company was an absolute pleasure to deal with. On behalf of my unit, we would like to thank you for your support to our Army aviation organization. We will be using you again for our future orders!
Fort Bliss, TX
Modifying the graphics was not real easy. The ARMY "star" was showing the sweatshirt red color which would have been perfect for the Chinese or Russians. I had to get a customer service representative to fill the star white as we work for the good ole USA. The text below the star ....... at first I wanted to bend it in a "U". I couldn't get that feature to work. I was successful above the star and love the way it turned out. As it turned out ........ the total order came out fantastic. When I received it I was very pleased.
Escondido, CA
VERY pleased with the service I got when I placed my order. I was ordering shirts for my son who is in the Army in Afganistan. He wanted shirts for him and the guys so it was sort of tricky making sure he got what they wanted. But Humza who was my customer service guy really helped us. The package was sent directly to him.He was out on a mission and was surprised to see the package when they got back. They were very pleased with the shirts. Pricing was very reasonable, especially where the package was going to. Thank you so much. Definitely would recommend your company..and I have to everyone!! Judy
I love how thoughtful u guys are and my fiance loves the shirt and im glad i got it . Thanks for letting me show my love to my u.s army soldier :)
bay point, CA

Salinas, CA
CustomInk has done it again! These shirts will definitely get my team noticed during the Washington DC Army 10K marathon.
Fort Washington, MD
I ordered these shirts for my entire family to wear to my son's boot camp graduation from The Marine Corps. My son left for boot camp on June 16, 2013. My brother, who was an active duty soldier in the Army, passed away on July 5, 2013. When the message was delivered to my son, they allowed him to call me. He was very upset and said that he was going to hang in there and graduate boot camp and become a Marine in honor of his Uncle Jeff. I knew that I needed to make sure his graduation was extra special for him and it certainly will be!!! He graduates Friday, September 13, 2013. I was more than pleased with CustomInk. I'm in awe of the systems that they have in place in order to satisfy customer's experience with their company! A+++++ Thank you for helping me in making this occassion a special one!!!!!!
Nick's Boot Camp Graduation,
Bixby, OK
Overall, great site to use, great service and great product! I did choose to have the order shipped to a stateside relative first however, and then on to us (we are in Europe with the Army and it's an APO address). I was told shipping to an APO can take a VERY long time.
Wyckoff, NJ
My experience with Customink was top of the chart.In the future I will be ordering more shirts.Sincerely:CSM George W. Alton,US Army Retired.
Nashua, IA
i have ordered many times from custom ink for items relating to the service of our daughter and son in the US Army. all items have been delivered in a timely fashion and reflect the design we created at the highest level.
Washington, DC
IF YOU WANT TO GET THE BEST..TRULY THE BEST SHIRTS THEN PLEASE BY THEM HERE. U WILL NOT BE Disappointed. As long as you take out the designs that you want And the custom name that you want!. They will print it perfectly I know I just received it out of all the businesses I have dealt with throughout the year That I promised business cards envelopes promotions this is the place to go for t-shirts. I was skeptical of course being ripped off so many times and wondering if getting a promotional shirt from my business was a good idea. but I have to actually tell you that the commercial does not lie they are professionals they do thousands of shirts per day. and to take the time to do one custom shirt perfectly is a lot. and my one sure came out exceptional. being a retired veteran/ I had the National Guard emblem placed on the back of the shirt/ with the u.s army name and military tank and I have to say that it is genuine army qualified it looks great.
Cohoes, NY

Stalwarts carry supplies to Cuba
DALLAS, Texas – One of ten caravans of supplies for Cuba passed through here July 13. They raised money and medical equipment at a covered-dish dinner at the First Community Church. The "caravanistas" began in Canada. They brought an ambulance and a 12-seater school bus. Caravanistas Shirley Lord and George Harris of Winnepeg said that they expect to rendezvous in San Antonio with the other nine groups from all over North America, and with Reverend Lucius Walker of Pastors for Peace.
Philly students testify against privatization
In its Summer 2002 issue, the Philadelphia Public School Notebook, an independent quarterly newspaper, provided excerpts from statements by public school students. The students were among the dozens who spoke against privatization at a School Reform Commission meeting earlier this year. The students' testimony makes it clear that privatization brings about disaster for our schools.
Parents protest Patakis attacks on education
BUFFALO, N.Y. – "An eighth-grade education is not enough," said Western New York parents and education activists at a press conference here July 11. They were protesting Gov. George Pataki's support of a recent Appeals Court decision that said that under the state constitution, New York is only required to educate children to an eighth grade level "in preparation for low-wage jobs."

In July, almost nine years after Hurricane Katrina destroyed it, a rebuilt Biloxi Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum will open at Point Cadet.
The Sun Herald reported that a grand opening is planned for July 18-20.
The new museum is being built on the original site, which now has a new city park next to it.
Walter Bolton, a representative of the architects for the project, said funding from the Federal Emergency Management agency was used to raise the museum to a height of 22 feet.
Bolton said the museum will cost more than $5.3 million.
