Which approach is most reasonable for today's kids?
WebMD Feature
Feb. 21, 2000 (San Francisco) -- Assembled in the auditorium of Mackenzie Junior High School in Lubbock, Texas, 15-year-old John Karras -- and the other students who returned a parental permission slip -- sat quietly while a guest speaker discussed S-E-X. "The speaker talked about some things that your parents and teachers wouldn't be comfortable talking about," says Karras. The virtues of abstinence were discussed. Contraception, on the other hand, was not -- except in passing, according to Karras. The group was told: "Condoms can't stop AIDS all the time and won't prevent pregnancy all the time," recalls Karras. The bottom line message: Sex is good, but only if you're married.
"Abstinence Only" Vs. Contraception Information
This take on sex education is known among educators as the "abstinence-only approach," in which totally refraining from sex outside of marriage (including masturbation) is generally the only option presented to students. The "abstinence-only" message, in which contraception information is either prohibited or limited to a mention of its ineffectiveness, is used by 34% of schools that have a district-wide policy
to teach sex education, according to a study conducted by The Alan Guttmacher Institute published in the November/December 1999 issue of Family Planning Perspectives. Obviously this message is embraced -- although surely not solely or entirely -- by conservative and religious groups. Critics say that such edited presentations rob teens of critical information and ignore the realities of teen sexual behavior.

Recycle your sofa at SOFA
Posted on 24/09/07
Loughborough Newsdesk
Today (Monday 24th September 2007), the Mayor and Mayoress, Councilor Joe Tormey and Councilor Debbie Green respectively visited SOFA at the Towles Building on the corner of Clarence Street and Nottingham Road.
SOFA is a charity in Loughborough that started up here in June 2005 with the aim to assist the community of Loughborough and the immediate areas by collecting surplus furniture for redistribution to people on income related benefits. They also aim to involve volunteers in the work giving the chance for people to improve their work skills and demonstrate to prospective employers their willingness to work thereby increasing their employability. Currently the project has 4 staff and 13 volunteers.
SOFA works alongside other charities in the area and the likes of social services so that people who are in need can benefit from the furniture which is sold to them at a token price. However with the increase in the amount of people willing to recycle old furniture SOFA had been overwhelmed with offers of furniture. To solve this they took the innovative step of making some furniture available to the general public (but not at the token price). The money raised from the sale of this is used to cover the administrative costs of the project e.g. transportation which benefits everyone.
Last month the Loughborough branch of SOFA helped 52 people with 256 items of furniture. Annually they anticipate that they save about 72 Tonnes of waste from going onto landfill sites by recycling items of furniture.
If you have any furniture that you are getting rid of and is in reasonable condition SOFA would like to hear from you. It could be beds, wardrobes, sofas, dining room tables and chairs, the list is endless. They are also especially interested if you have electrical items in good condition such as washing machines, fridges, freezers etc. These items are rarely donated and are one of the main thing people need if on low income.
You can visit SOFAs premises on Nottingham Road or call them on 01509 262557. After Christmas they also intend to be open on a Saturday morning, allowing greater flexibility for people to have a look at the furniture that is available.

"For us, the idea of having a work that has contradictions is very important—when, in affirming something, it includes itself and attacks itself. How can you put together all of these things that have nothing to do with each other? You use glue! Glue can be an idea, a word. You can use an ideological glue."
Nancy Spero
About the artist
Nancy Spero was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1926. She received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1949), and honorary doctorates from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1991) and Williams College (2001). Spero is a pioneer of feminist art. Her work since the 1960s is an unapologetic statement against the pervasive abuse of power, Western privilege, and male dominance. Executed with a raw intensity on paper and in ephemeral installations, her work often draws its imagery and subject matter from current and historical events such as the torture of women in Nicaragua, the extermination of Jews in the Holocaust, and the atrocities of the Vietnam War. Spero samples from a rich range of visual sources of women as protagonists—from Egyptian hieroglyphics, seventeenth-century French history painting, and Frederick's of Hollywood lingerie advertisements. Spero's figures co-exist in nonhierarchical compositions on monumental scrolls, and visually reinforce principles of equality and tolerance. Spero was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters (2006). Awards include a Lifetime Achievement Award from the College Art Association (2005); the Honor Award from the Women's Caucus for Art (2003); the Hiroshima Art Prize (jointly with Leon Golub, 1996); and the Skowhegan Medal (1995). Major exhibitions include Centro Galego de Arte Contemporanea, Santiago de Compostela (2003); Massachusetts Institute of Technology, List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge (1994); the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (1994); the Museum of Modern Art, New York (1992); and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (1988). Spero lived and worked in New York, where she passed away in October 2009.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
By: Dias Dobson, Harvey B. Gantt Center
Experiencing my first opening weekend with the Gantt Center was truly amazing. Being in the presence of the creative genius that is Johnathan Green and David Herman, Jr. were among the many highlights of my weekend.
To be in the company of a world renowned artist and discuss the world, religion, and the history of African-Americans from the perspective of the Lowcountry Gullah native was incredible. He stressed the importance of African-Americans exploring their Southern roots as well as the major role rice has played in American history. When talking with Jonathan Green there was never a dull moment, whether he was providing me with life advice, an impromptu history lesson or referring to me as Flo of the Supremes. Jonathan Green's personality was almost as colorful as his exhibit A Spiritual Journey Of life.
Etched in the Eyes, an exhibit of deep introspection and self-expression of David Herman, Jr. definitely resonated with me. His exhibit speaks volumes on who he is and where he's come from. When talking with David there was always an air of deep insight in his words. During his gallery talk the up-and-coming artist and photographer spoke on the importance of home, the rice culture and his Lowcountry roots.
Spring 2013 opening day activities were great compliments to the Low country Gullah Geechee exhibits. The Alfreda Johnson Sweet grass basket demonstration, the Gallery Talks from each artist; and the documentary, What Language Do You Cry In, created a wonderful experience for all who attended. Being able to host and interact with the artists as well as contribute to the success of the Gantt Center's 2013 spring exhibits opening weekend was truly a privilege.Artist David Herman, Jr., Intern Dias Dobson and Gantt Center staff

Mayhem # 2663422
About MeAs an artist and a photographer, I tend to take my main inspirations from American and European grindhouse underground movies from the 70's and 80's. I've always been attracted to the dirty, wild and gratuitous films from the likes of Jesus Franco and HG Lewis. While trying to titillate and shock, there was also a joyous tongue in cheek attitude behind their films.
When creating my images, I prefer using extreme lighting, angles, and colors. I'll leave the subtlety to other photographers. I usually try to create a sense of horror or eroticism where less "explicitly" shown flesh and blood amounts to more dread or sexiness. My artistic goal is to create images to show at various lowbrow art galleries, which I do on a regular basis.
I also am really beginning to fixate on mixing body paint with my photography. As a painter and fine artist, I love being able to transform a model with my brushes and sponges, then use my photographic skills to create images even MORE fantastical than I could achieve with only my camera. My current theme I am focused on is horror-movie inspired pin-ups.
*By the way, please don't bother sending me a friend request if you are just looking to pad your friend totals and views on your profile. I only use MM to connect with people I may actually work with someday. Sorry.

The Toni Morrison Society is pleased to announce the return of its Biennial Conference Series. The Societys Seventh Biennial Conference, Toni Morrison and her Role as Editor, co-sponsored by Alfred A. Knopf, will focus on Morrisons work during her nearly twenty years at Random House. During her tenure there, Toni Morrison shepherded the works of a new generation of Black authors and championed, as in-house editor, one of the most significant collections of Black life artifacts ever published, The Black Book. As Senior Editor, Ms. Morrison set an agenda for Black writing in the 70s and 80s and shaped a role for Black editors, which continues to resonate as the ideal in the publishing world today.
This years program features a format of all Plenary Sessions: Keynote Speakers, Plenary Panels, and Discussion Roundtables led by Principal Discussants. [For more information about official participation in the Conference as a Principal Discussant click here]. The Plenary Panels will focus on many aspects of Morrisons editing career: how she became an editor and how she viewed her role; her impact on the authors whose work she edited; her work on The Black Book, and the ways in which her editing career influenced her own writing; and how her editing career continues to influence the work of younger writers who are navigating the contours of todays publishing landscape. Roundtable Discussions led by Principal Discussants follow each Plenary Panel.
The Seventh Biennial will also include the Authors and Editors Luncheon, a gala celebration honoring Ms. Morrisons 85th birthday, and the twentieth Bench by the Road Placement at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.
Conference presenters include keynote addresses by Dana Williams, Professor of English at Howard University and Chris Jackson, Executive Editor at Spiegel and Grau, and plenary panels composed of writers, scholars, and critics: Edwidge Danticat, Angela Davis, Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah, Paula Giddings, Tayari Jones, Kiese Laymon, John McCluskey, Howard Rambsy II, Martha Southgate, Quincy Troupe, and Cheryl Wall.
Please join us for what we know will be an exciting and informative conference that explores the impact and sustaining influence of Toni Morrisons editing career.

Being under the gun to save a species from extinction might be considered stressful to some people. Being the one person who can advise a rancher about how to avoid wildfires in the dry, western forest where his 2,000 acres lie may be somewhat nerve-wracking occasionally.
If you really think about it, it's hard to come up with a profession that doesn't offer some modicum of stress. Just making sure that you get up in the morning to make it to work on time can be a source of stress.
But the thing is that you got into this career because you care deeply. And you know that caring deeply about anything is always going to bring up some strife, some worry and yes, some stress. But sometimes knowing that it might be stressful at times can help ease the severity of that stress.

New today from the Century.
Last month I posted about Rais

that his attacker, who shot Bhuiyan as part of a post-9/11 shooting spree in
which two other victims were killed, be spared the death penalty.
When the T-Mobile royal
wedding video went viral (look-alikes portray the principals and dance down the
aisle), much was made of the impressive stand-in for the Archbishop of
The King James Bible's 400th birthday is everywhere. The current
issue of the Century features Jon
Sweeney's review of three books on the subject; earlier
this year, Timothy Larsen wrote lovingly of the Bible of his childhood.

Tales From the Darkroom
Woody Guthrie: American Radical, by Will Kaufman. I love musician
biographies; Humphrey Carpenter's of Benjamin Britten is the most
fascinating book I've read in years. I also love Guthrie's music--he's
so much funnier and sharper-edged than the earnest troubadours who
mimicked him in the 60s--and I'll read anything about politics.
Wanda Jackson may be the queen of rockabilly, but Jack White is king of this collaboration. The roots-obsessed producer takes charge, offering a high-octane reimagination of various '50s styles. But where White's work on Loretta Lynn's Van Lear Rose (2004) came off as reverent and almost subtle, here 73-year-old Jackson's presence seems like an afterthought.
President Obama seems to be moving in the direction of openly supporting same-sex marriage. But when he spoke in New York last week, he stopped short of endorsing it--despite pressure from the audience:
Vic Chesnutt, who died of an overdose in 2009, was one of the best and most unusual songwriters of his generation. Country-rock veterans Cowboy Junkies are far more conventional. So Chesnutt diehards might not find much to like in this collection of his songs, but the album may provide newcomers a bridge to his work.

Arothron stellatus
Arothron stellatus, also known as the stellate puffer, starry puffer, or starry toadfish is a demersal marine fish belonging to the family Tetraodontidae. It is found in shallow water in the Indo-Pacific region.
Arothron stellatus is a medium-sized fish which grows up to 120 cm (47 in) in length.[1] Its body is oval shaped, spherical and relatively elongated. The skin is not covered with scales but is prickly. The fish has no pelvic fin and no lateral line. The dorsal fin and the anal fin are small, symmetric, and located at the rear end of the body. The head is large with a short snout that has two pairs of nostrils, and the mouth is terminal with four strong teeth.[2]
The background coloration goes from white to grey, and the body is harmoniously dotted with black spots. The ventral area is usually clearer. The size of the spots is inversely proportional to the size of the fish; thus, a young individual will have large spots and adults of maximal size will have small spots. The juveniles have a yellowish body background coloration with dark stripes. The young adults still have stripes on the ventral area that will turn to spots later, and also some recollection of yellow on the body.
Distribution and habitat[edit]
This species is found in tropical and subtropical waters from the Indian Ocean and Red Sea as far as Polynesia, southern Japan, the western, northern and eastern coasts of Australia and Lord Howe Island.[3] It is a relatively uncommon species and lives close to external reef slopes and sheltered lagoons with clear water, but mainly in close proximity to sandy areas, at depths from the surface down to about 58 m (190 ft).[4]
Arothron stellatus feeds on benthic invertebrates, sponges, algae, the polyps of corals such as Acropora, crustaceans and mollusks.[2]
This pufferfish is diurnal. It is mainly solitary and defends a territory.[2]
Potential danger[edit]
Arothron stellatus secretes a violent poison, the tetrodotoxin, which protects it from voracious predators. In order to ward off potential enemies, they can inflate their bodies by swallowing air or water.

With the season officially over I thought I would revisit the top 10 plays of the season, much like I do every year. I start with number 10 and one of the best wins of the season, the 49ers home game. You will be seeing more from this game as we progress through the top 10, but 10th is an electric 82 yard kickoff return by Travaris Cadet. The Saints never scored a defensive or special teams touchdown in the 2013 season, surprisingly, and this was the closest they ever came. Cadet wasn't much of a threat this year as a return man, and this was by far his best play of the season. It was a huge turning point in a huge win, though, so a necessary contribution.

Not OK computer
I have an Envy Dv7 laptop which I love. It is out of warranty, and a call to HP yielded no help as far as diagnosing the problem. I kept getting bounced from tech support to warranty to sales to someone else. The call lasted about an hour and eventually I had to give up as I had to leave for a flight.

CPU Speed Adjustment?

I'm confused about computer specs
How do computer speeds vary with different core counts? Is a twin core 3000 as fast as a single core 6000? What about a quad core? Is there any point in multicore chips for home use and gaming, or does this need fancy threaded software to take advantage of it?
Need for speed
I want my computer to work exactly the same, but faster. I can't add any more RAM. Motherboard/CPU upgrade? [more inside]
What happened to my laptop, and did I fix it?
Laptopfilter: I'm curious about how CPU usage, noise level, and being able to go to standby/hibernation and shut down properly are related. For a long time (over a year, I think) my HP laptop(running Windows XP) was at 100% CPU usage all the time, ran loudly, and wouldn't go to standby or hibernation or shut down all the way. There's a lot [more inside]
Laptop on the cheap. What are the minimum specs?
Shopping for a cheap used laptop: What are the minimum specs I should be looking for with respect to CPU, RAM, HD? I'm planning to use WinXP (maybe I'll settle for 2K), Open Office, and FireFox (including some AJAX-heavy web sites such as gmail, Google Docs, del.icio.us), with a wifi card. And not much else. I want to avoid "I'm always waiting for this stupid slow computer!" but not spend much more than the minimum needed to avoid that.
Xeon vrm question
I am updating an old server actually on dual xeon 450M/512k processor to xeon 500/2Mb. I know the motherboard support the new cpu's but do i need to change the vrm or will the old one do just fine ?
I moved it gently, and still it betrayed me
[DeadComputerFilter] I just moved, and as is customary, my PC moved in a separate trip, re-boxed in its original container, and generally cared for better than even myself. Now, I plug it in, turn it on... well, almost. It just doesn't come on anymore. [more inside]

The Allen Stanford saga
Pressure is mounting on banks associated with the Antigua-based Texan financier, Allen Stanford.
Mr Stanford, a naturalised Antiguan who has been knighted by the country, is being investigated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for alleged fraudulent activities by one of his financial institutions.
Peru and Venezuela have become the latest countries to intervene in local banks controlled by the Stanford group as it faces fraud accusations.
Peru's securities regulator suspended local operations of the Stanford Financial Group for 30 days.
It follows action by Panama and Ecuador after billionaire Sir Allen Stanford was accused in connection with an $8bn (£5.6bn) investment fraud.
Antiguan and Eastern Caribbean financial regulators have insisted that his Bank of Antigua had sufficient reserves.
Mr Stanford's commercial bank in Antigua is regulated by the St Kitts-headquartered Eastern Caribbean Central Bank.
In a speech to the nation, Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer of Antigua and Barbuda spoke of the damaging effects the scandal could have on the country if the charges are proved correct:
No need for panic
While stating that "this is not a looming crisis," he however warned that "the fall-out threatens catastrophic and immediate consequences".
But Mr Spencer also sought to calm doubtful depositors and others.
He announced that his government and the Eastern Caribbean Central bank were putting contingency plans in place, although he did not specify what those plans entailed.
"There is no need for panic", he declared.
Opinion seems divided among clients of Allen Stanford's Bank of Antigua.
Some people felt their money was safe there, but others were not so sure.
Mr Spencer also appealed for national unity on this issue when he said: "If there ever was a reason and a time for the Antiguan and Barbudan people to pull together in solidarity, that time is now."
It was just this week that he announced the date for general elections on 12 March in what has already been a heated and acrimonious campaign mainly between his ruling United Progressive Party(UPP) and the opposition Antigua Labour Party(ALP).
The Stanford affair is expected to figure prominently in the campaign.
It won't be the first time that Allen Stanford's presence and influence in Antigua has featured on the island's political/election agenda.
The Stanford scandal comes at delicate time for Antigua as the country is in full campaign mode for the March 12 general election.
This issue is expected to become a central one for the campaign, and already the opposition Antigua Labour Party leader has spoken out against the government's attitude towards Mr Stanford.
It was the ALP, while in office, which had facilitated the Texan billionaire's presence in Antigua.
BBC Caribbean asked the party's leader, Lester Bird, whether they'll able to resist trying to score political points from this saga.
The ruling UPP has had its run-ins with Sir Allen who has extensive business interests in Antigua.
His companies, which include the bank and tourism properties, are major employers there.
Up until recently he ran two airlines, Caribbean Star and Caribbean Sun, which operated out of Antigua, but which he shut down last year.
Mr Stanford has also been a major supporter of sports in Antigua (and the region) through his multi-million dollar winner-take-all Stanford Twenty20 cricket tournaments.
John Fuller is an attorney, in Antigua, who has known Sir Allen for ten years, and has represented one of his companies.
He spoke to the BBC's Eddie Mair about the man he knew and the trouble he's in.
In the United States Virgin Islands, another territory where Allen Stanford has a home and business interests, the Governor John deJongh expressed deep concern about the potential economic impact and loss of jobs.
The governor's spokesman said that there have been recent reports that 18 Stanford employees have lost their jobs on St Croix.
Latin America
The Stanford empire also extends to parts of Latin America.
Across South America, clients of local branches of the Stanford financial group queued to close their accounts.
Venezuela government seizes Stanford Bank
Venezuela has announced action against companies belonging to the Texan billionaire, Allen Stanford, who is accused of fraud worth an estimated $8 billion.
Venezuela's Finance Minister Ali Rodriguez, said his government was taking control of Stanford Bank Venezuela and planned to sell it.
The country's banking regulator Edgar Hernandez had earlier assured depositors that the bank was fine, after queues formed to withdraw money.
Mr Stanford's assets have been frozen over the alleged fraud and his whereabouts are unknown.
Ecuador and Panama
The Ecuadorian branch of Stanford said that domestic savers will not be affected by what they called the "massive fraud" that has hit the company in the US.
Carla Roggero, manager of the Quito office, told newspaper Hoy that all Latin American branches of the company were independent from the headquarters.
But in Panama the banking watchdog announced it was taking over the local affiliate of the group.
In Colombia, the authorities suspended all activities of the local brokerage unit of Stanford, known as Stanford SA. They say they act to "protect clients and investors" and "preserve confidence in the stock market".
The director of Stanford's brokerage operation in Bogota, Alvaro Camaro, told Reuters news agency that the move was "not an intervention", but "a decision to withdraw from activities that have been made by the company and accepted by the Financial Superintendence because the firm has no liquidity problems".
Under the terms of its withdrawal from the market, Stanford's Colombian operations will be limited to fulfilling outstanding commitments in the stock market and returning funds to its clients.
Mexico and Peru
In Mexico, Stanford company Fondos said in a press statement that "Stanford International Bank is another entity of the same group".
In Peru, the stock market watchdog carried out an inspection in the small brokerage unit of Stanford there. According to Reuters, however, its presence in the Peruvian market is small and the company was still operating earlier on Wednesday.

Ugh!, I am so sorry you are dealing with such unknown during (what should be) an exciting time.
Offers on short sales are NOT binding unlike with other property sales. It is easy to get a seller to "accept" an offer price and terms because they want out (usually due to serious financial situations) but that contract is not binding or even legally sustainable until: 1) the bank and the seller agree to a deal via executed legal documents (which usually doesn't happen until after the offer contract because of disorganization); 2) the bank agrees to sell for a specific price (which also - due to disorganization- doesn't happen until after the offer and usually is not the price the seller agreed to sell it for); and 3) the banks standard purchase and sale - no changes - is signed by all parties. Basically the offer contract means nothing.
A short sale is when the owner is trying to avoid foreclosure and instead sell the property for less than they owe the bank on their mortgage. This requires the banks approval, naturally, because the bank has to agree to losing money (and striking a new deal where the seller pays back the loss over time, as an example), or not agree (starting the foreclosure process). What (clearly) agents are not warning their clients about is that listing/sellers agents market these properties ALL the time before the above process has even started and with prices that have NOT been agreed to/approved by the bank which is why about 99% of these deals never happen. Now that the property you are considering is in pre-foreclosure this means that the seller has been officially warned that they are in default and heading (very quickly) towards foreclosure and they have X days/months (this varies depending on the situation) to do something about it -which usually they can't. However, this "grace" period is technically the time the owner can still try to sell the property it just depends on their organization and the banks as well. When the property gets foreclosed on the bank will force the seller out of the property and either auction it off or sell it direct to brokers as a foreclosed property (no owner involved other than the bank).
If I may offer some extended advice/warnings ... You may want to seriously reconsider the neighborhood you are trying to buy in. From what you have described - high volume of short sales and foreclosures - it will take more than a couple years for these areas to rebound, and for the properties to regain and sustain their value. Short sales and foreclosures - which as you can see sit on the market for very long periods of time - mean a lot of abandoned properties sitting on the market unattended (conditions decreasing) and being vandalized (perhaps increasing local crime?). Surrounding properties have serious affects on individual property value, so, if for example, you want to or need to sell your property 2 years from now it could be difficult.
I hope this helps! Good luck!
This is truly a stressful transaction. Sounds like your agent is doing their job. And Yes a short sale can take quite awhile and yes you are waiting on the bank. Here is a link to a parody I wrote for my weekly real estate column in our local newspaper.
I just wonder about the language in your original offer. Was it contiguent on a short sale? Could we argue that the seller and bank have changed there terms not that the property is in "pre-foreclosure?"
I am not suggesting that you walk away from your offer, but do consider your actual obligations here.
I would keep looking at other properties. I would also digest the thought it might be worth forfeiting your deposit on this property if you find another house. But then I say that without knowing what your deposit is.... Hopefuly you get my point.
Do feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.
Karissa Moore
I do however give the bank two weeks to respond on the initial offer and then use 1-2 week extensions so that my clients can stay in the market and be able to make an offer on anything new that may come up. It can distract from the waiting game and give your clients peace of mind that they aren't missing out on anything.
I have special training in short-sales or pre-foreclosure. Expect two (2) months to hear back from the bank. If it takes more than 3 months to hear back from the bank, the listing agent does not know how to deal/talk to the bank to execute the short-sale.
Short sales can and do work out fine, but they are totally unpredictable. You and your realtor need to do a realty check by examining the bank communication or lack of communication to determine the odds of your offer coming together. Sometimes coming into a short sale situation after a buyer has walked away after weeks and months of waiting is a better situation as the previous buyer has at least got the wheels turning for you.
