Six years of marriage came and went on an ordinary Saturday night. I worked most of the day and Andy held down the fort with two sick, kids at home. We tag teamed the hourly wake ups from midnight until 4 am and we woke up exhausted, yet accomplished. Three middle of the night baths, three fresh set of sheets and three changes of PJ's due to multiple vomiting sessions and we couldn't help but laugh while Parker bathed at 3am for the third time. Three and a half years into parenting two toddlers combined with six years of marriage has brought us into this strange, delirious, awesome synchronization. Our schedules are insane and unpredictable, yet we manage to pick up where the other left off seamlessly–with each other and the kids. Our rhythm, as crazy as life is right now, just feels good.
Our anniversary is always preceded by another significant milestone. One more year of sobriety–now a total of 11 years for Andy. I never knew the non-sober Andy, but I'm thankful for him, for AA, and the experiences that have shaped who my husband is today. He is a damn good husband. I pray my girls meet someone just like their daddy.
Six years didn't arrive with grandeur; it really wasn't celebrated at all. But I think it was the most memorable. Our marriage is not just surviving the ordinary and the overwhelming, it's thriving. And that, in the midst of the chaos of sick kids and demanding work schedules deserves some celebrating…with a nap.

Skill Level Beginner
Now let's go ahead and look at customizing our user profile. Inside of Moodle you have a personal profile that contains all of the settings, or preferences, that configures Moodle for the way that you want to work. It also contains all of your personal information as well. To customize this, go on down to the left-hand side and look for the Settings block and click on the My profile settings link. Then click on the link for Edit profile. The first thing to note here are these items that are listed in red: First name, Surname--or your last name-- Email address, City/town, and Select country.
These items are required, and everyone must go ahead and fill this information out. What we are going to go through now though, is we are going to look at some of the specific preferences and setup options that are available to you as a teacher to help make your life a little bit easier. The first one is Email display. If you click the dropdown menu here, you can see the various different options, and the one that I like to set all the time is Allow everyone to see my email address. Now this is great for teachers because if you have it set like this, then students that are looking to take your course in the future can be able to find you and find your information on the Moodle system for your institution.
Otherwise, only students in your class would be able find your information. The next option, Email format, it's a good idea these days to go ahead and leave it set to the Pretty HTML format. That way any formatting that your students apply to any forums, posts, or other email messages that get sent to you through the Moodle system will come in formatted. This next option, Email digest, this one is probably one of the most important for a teacher. By default, it's set to be No digest, and that means that every single time one of your students posts a message into one of the discussion forums, you're going to get an email.
We all get way too much email these days, and so the setting that I like to choose is the Complete option. That means that every day for each different forum that you're subscribed to, you will get a single email that will contain all of the full posts from all of your students for that forum for that day. This will help reduce your overall amount of email and help you manage your time a little bit easier. Forum auto-subscribe, I like to go ahead and make sure that I'm always subscribed to all the forums that I create and that I post in. This next option, Forum tracking, by default it's set to No.
I really like to set this to Yes. What this will do is that anytime I go into a forum and I start clicking through the different messages that my students have posted, Moodle will keep track of all of those messages that I've read already and it will let me know that I've already read them. So we will set that one to Yes. It's a really good idea to make sure that when editing text you leave it set to the HTML Editor. And this next feature, AJAX and JavaScript, if you're going follow along with me throughout the rest of the title, I would suggest setting this one to Yes. That way when I go ahead and I show some feature that uses AJAX or JavaScript, that function will work on your system the same way that it's working on mine.
If you need assistive devices, such as screen readers, you can go ahead and set this next option to Yes, but we are not going to do that right now. But what I do want to call attention to is this small yellow ball with the question mark in it. Moodle has built-in help and if you go ahead and click on any of those little yellow balls with the question mark in them, it's going to pop up contextually aware help that will let you know some information about whatever this option happens to be. You can close it by hitting the little X in the upper right-hand corner. Now we have the next bit of things already filled out. So we'll go ahead and scroll down here to the Description.
Now this is a general description about you, and it can be a short bio if you'd like. I am going to go ahead and just type in here "Educational Technologist and Instructional Designer." If you'd like, you can go ahead and you can format the information that you've just typed in here using the WYSIWYG Editor, or the What You See Is What You Get. There is an entire chapter later on in this title that will explain how to go ahead and use all of these functions. For now let's go ahead and scroll on down a little bit further, and we are now in the User picture section.
And anytime you make a post of any content inside of Moodle users are able to see your picture that's been attached here, if you've put one. Let's go ahead and post our image. So we've got a link for New picture. Go ahead and hit the Choose file and this will bring up the standard File picker that's gone throughout Moodle. In an earlier movie, we went ahead and posted an image inside of our Private files section. So we'll go ahead and click on Private files on the left-hand side, and here you can see we've got the folder we set up, and there's the link to that graphic, the headshot.jpg.
So go ahead and click one time on that, and it's going to grab that file. The Author and license information is already set for us, so we will go ahead and hit Select this file. And for the Picture description, we will just go ahead and put our name in here. Now we'll scroll down a little bit further, and we are going to go here to the Interests section. You can go ahead and fill in some of your common interests. This is a nice thing for your students to be able to have some other things to relate to you other than just the specific class that you're teaching. So I am going to put in a few of my interests here: Sailing and Swimming and Kayaking.
Great! And we'll scroll down a little bit further, and now we are down to the Optional section. Here is where if you have a personal web site that you would like to direct your students to, you can type in that URL here. If you have any of these other different accounts, such as an ICQ or a Skype account, an AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo!, MSN, you can go ahead and type that information in here. By default, the plug-ins are not available right now inside of Moodle to be able to link to those services. But there are third parties that have developed modules that will allow you, for instance, to be able to make Skype calls available directly from inside of your course.
Now the bottom sets of the Optional information here, ID number, Institution, these are a lot of times used by your institution to fill in additional metadata on your user account. We are going to go ahead and leave those blank for now and go ahead and hit the Update profile button. And there we go! When screen refreshes, you can see that our picture that we posted is showing up here on the left-hand side. And we've got our little description here, and we even have our interests listed in here. So that worked out pretty well. Now one quick note about the images that you're posting: it will be a good idea to use an image that's cropped in a square format.
I've gone ahead and made this image to be 200 pixels x 200 pixels. And you can use most of the common different formats of images. I've gone ahead and used a JPEG image for this image. So that's all there is to setting up your personal preferences in your personal profiles. If you needed to do something like change your password, you're able to do that right here on the left-hand side. And you can also access the built-in messaging service within Moodle. If we go ahead and click on that link right here, this is going to bring up a set of preferences for us to be able to say how we would like to be contacted depending on the various different systems that are available inside of Moodle.
So we can just scroll through these pretty quickly. We've got Assignment notifications are both set to Email, whether we are logged in or logged out. Course creation request, approvals, I am going to set that to Email. Course rejection notifications, Essay graded notifications, Personal messages between users. This is one that may be appropriate for you if you want when you're online to have a pop-up so that if another user wants to message you through Moodle, that will just pop up a pop-up. Otherwise, if you're offline, it's going to send you an email.
Feedback reminder, if there's some feedback that's required, whether or not you've subscribed to posts and some notifications. We can scroll on down to the very bottom. Now one final feature that is a great new little addition here, and that is for the Email notifications many institutions require that all communication go directly through a particular campus email system. And many of us have our own outside email accounts that we would like to use. So if you'd like to fill in your outside email account that may be outside from your institution, or one that you kind of check all the time and you may not check your institution mail all the time, you can go ahead and fill that in right here, and you can then hit the Update profile button, and those preferences should be saved.
So let's go ahead and return back to the Home link in the upper left-hand corner. And that gives you a quick walkthrough of the personal profile settings for Moodle 2.0.

Effects of Introduction of Deposit Insurance Caps on Japanese Financial Institutions Mar 02

Standard & Poor's does not expect a large-scale immediate shift of funds from deposits to other investment options following the introduction of new limits on deposit insurance protection from April 2002, given continued support to financial institutions by the Japanese government. The new limits will only apply to some deposits from April, and deposits in settlement accounts will continue to be fully protected. Standard & Poor's is concerned, however, that the implementation of deposit protection caps may increase a "flight to quality" among depositors and, in the medium term, financial institutions with weaker credit quality may suffer from deterioration in their funding flexibility. In addition, the managements of financial institutions with stronger credit quality will face challenges in investment options...

For courageously standing up for his religious beliefs just as long as nobody finds out who he is.
For apparently thinking the Golden Rule is "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you…unless you can keep it on the down low."
And for not living by the credo of "What would Jesus do?" because, I'm pretty sure what Jesus would do wouldn't be act like a cowardly douchebag.
We are proud to name the pastor who cancelled Leroy Butler speaking appearance just because he congratulated Jason Collins as this week's Rick and Len…WEENIE OF THE WEEK!

Today I took Gavin ( 28 months w/ spastic diplegia) to the rehab clinic at Children's Mercy, & they scheduled him for his 2nd round of botox on Nov. 13th, as his has pretty much worn off & he is getting rather tight again (adductors,hamstings & heel chords) . They also scheduled him for a seating for a wheelchair. He uses a Crocodile gait trainer, & does pretty well w/ it, but he will likely need the WC for long distances.
Was kinda hard to accept the reality of him having to be in one, although I guess I knew all along it would be coming eventually. They gave me the name of 3 different WC compaines they use so we could look at them online ( Advacare, United Seating & Mobility, & Doctor's Equipment) but I couldn't find the type they showed us today, that he will likely get. Was wondering if any of you have had any expriance in this area & could maybe help out w/ some info. I'll see if I can post a pic of Gavin at his appt. today, to show the type of char. The pics don't show, but there is a swivel wheel both in front & back of the chair.

Drug overdose deaths escalating among 12- to 25-year-olds, a national study reports
I feel like a Father Knows Best prude when I rail against the sale of alcohol at amusement parks and college sporting events.
It's not that I'm a killjoy bent on ushering in a new wave of prohibition.
It's just that I'm concerned we live in a culture where getting drunk or high doesn't alarm us the way it should.
But drug and alcohol use among young people is a huge problem, one made painfully clear in a report released Thursday that focuses substance abuse.
Overdose rates among 12- to 25-year-olds more than doubled in 18 states, more than tripled in 12 states and quadrupled in five others. (See full report below.)
If that's not a wake-up a call, a clear sign that America has a huge problem, I don't know what is.
From 1999-2001, not a single state had a youth drug overdose rate above 6.1 per 100,000 people, according to the report by the Washington, D.C.-based Trust for America's Health.
But over the next dozen years, an astonishing 33 states exceeded that figure.
West Virginia had a high of 12.6 overdoses per 100,000 in that age group and North Dakota reported the lowest, 2.2 per 100,000, according to the study, Reducing Teen Substance Misuse: What Really Works.
We'll talk about what's working in a minute, because clearly some things are not.
The national drug overdose rate is now 7.3 per 100,000 youth ages 12 to 25.
Texas, thank goodness, is below that mark.
The 6 per 100,000 drug overdose rate among 12- to 25-year-olds in Texas puts our state in the bottom third – or 16th lowest, to be precise.
But hey, there are no bragging rights here. Not when tens of thousands of youth nationwide are dying from drug overdoses every year.
These young people aren't merely being exposed to "gateway drugs" – alcohol, tobacco and marijuana – they're getting their hands on even more harmful drugs, such as prescription painkillers.
In fact, the steep increase in drug overdose deaths is linked largely to spikes in prescription drug misuse "and the related doubling in heroin use by 18- to 25-year-olds in the past 10 years," the study found.
About 45 percent of people who use heroin are addicted to prescription painkillers, drugs they often find in medicine cabinets at home.
It's a problem that cuts across all socioeconomic groups. Yet teens from more affluent circumstances report more frequent drug and alcohol use than those from lower-income homes.
Nearly two-thirds of students have used alcohol, more than 40 percent have used illegal drugs and about one-fourth used cigarettes before or during high school. Marijuana use has been inching up since 2008, too, the study found.
These are red flags we can't whitewash. The long-term stakes are too high.
"More than 90 percent of adults who develop a substance use disorder began using before they were 18," said Jeffrey Levi, executive director of TFAH, a health advocacy group.
"Achieving any major reduction in substance misuse will require a reboot in our approach – starting with a greater emphasis on preventing use before it starts, intervening and providing support earlier and viewing treatment and recovery as a long-term commitment," he said.
The group's report is instructive because it also focuses on 10 strategies that can help curb drug abuse among tweens, teens and young adults.
These 10 "leading evidenced-based policies and programs," which were developed in consultation with substance abuse experts, range from having anti-smoking and anti-bullying laws on the books to support for academic achievement and mental health funding.
Texas scored 4 out of 10, which means there's a lot more we must do.
"I believe all of the policies and programs listed are valid and can contribute to reducing the incidence and impact of alcohol and other drugs," said Debbie Meripolski, executive director of The Greater Dallas Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse.
Understandably, state officials worry about the price tag, she said. "However, the cost to society of drugs is much higher in terms of health care costs, crime and lost productivity," she said.
"And those are just the measurable costs," Meripolski said. "We need to also consider the harmful effects on individuals, their families, our schools, our workplaces and the health and safety of our communities in general."
It's time to sound the alarm.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Oil Paint
Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this piece. This piece is painting II of a three part series. The first painting is already uploaded "Classical Sid". This second painting is called "Sid Impression" because I am using the Impressionist palette to paint with. I have also changed the view point of my subject from a profile to a front view to challenge myself to see Sid from this different point of view.
The is a work in progress and I will add more images when I have them to show the painting.
I completed this painting last week with several adjustments to the background. The original ground is gessoed with a layer of textured paper over the top of it. This in the end gives the painting an additional play of light and color. The final piece is in picture #6. For sale.

Wonderful greenline tour
This was a very relaxing and interesting tour. We loved it!! A day to remember!
Chiara, the tour guide was excellent. The sites were fantastic and well worth the brief trip from Rome.
I really enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to family and friends. Both sites were fascinating and the guide very knowledgeable.
Antonio brought Hadrian's Villa to life for us. I was not prepared for how extensive the villa grounds are. Antonio was able to answer all my botany questions, and pointed out the important sites. It was amazing to see olive trees and cypress trees that were more than 1000 years old.
This tour was amazing!
Our first stop was a little slower but once we got to the garden part of the last stop with the fountains it was unbelievable. I did not want to leave. Incredible experience. A place to propose , very romantic and beautiful.
This was a very good tour with lots of good information from our tour guides. Both the Villa's of Hadrian and d'Este were well worth the short 45 minute ride outside of Rome. The 100 fountains at the Villa d'Este were truly beautiful. I highly recommend this half day tour.
We loved this tour. I booked it to see Hadrian's Villa, but I fell in love with Villa d'Este and Tivoli instead!! My only complaint was not having enough time in Tivoli as it was easily the most beautiful place I've ever been in my life. I could have spent a day there easily. The fountains and gardens were stunningly beautiful. We also loved Hadrian's Villa - it was a marvel. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient. We also had time to break off from the group and explore the gardens. I would go back in a heartbeat.
Fantastic and a great guid. There were only 9 of us and Villa d'Este was like a private shoeing. Our guide spoke Enlish, French, Spanish and then Italian to the driver. Our 9 were from Chile, Argentina, France, England, Israel and USA.. Just simply a wonderful tour.
Very good guide and great way to spend a few hours out of the city
This tour was amazing and the tour guide was excellent. He was knowledgeable, personable and offered plenty of unique facts and information. I highly recommend this tour if it fits your schedule.
I took the trip at end of November and it was excellent. Villa d'Este is very impressive, the fountains are very nice, there is much to see. The trip starts with the tour of 1st floor of the palace, followed by the visit to the gardens where there is multitude of fountains. It is very picturesque tour of the Villa. The 2nd visit at Villa Adriana is also very impressive. Our tour was moving at very slow pace, so some of us went and saw the whole Villa - the main tour just stopped at main attractions. Really very memorable event, very good tour guide.
Two simply amazing villas and so totally different - the tours were very well organised and the tour leader was a mine of information - obviously loved her job. We learnt such an enormous amount of extremely interesting historical data.
Thank you very much. - Have recommended this trip to our friends.
Wonderful time at Hadrian's villa and villa d'Este. Magical mysterious place, so interesting to see, a hidden gem and must see. Though I would recommend going for the full day tour, as half day is quite rushed but if short on time you still do see and experience this beautiful place. All my tours from Viator always leave right on time and according to schedule
Hadrian's Villa - the ruins were amazing....just like all the many other ruins I had seen throughout Italy. Villa d' Este was incredible. The waterfalls, fountains and grounds were breathtaking.
One of the mother beautiful places I've ever been. They need to give you more time here. The 45 min to an hour you get literally had us running from fountain to fountain.
Viator needs to be more mindful of disclosing the tour operator before you book. This tour was by a local tour operator who has less than 3 star ratings on almost every trip, where the tours booked in Denmark and Ireland had all 4 or 5 star ratings.
An absolutely fabulous trip. Both locations were the best sights we experienced in Rome. The beauty and history blew us away. Do not miss this trip...a great value...definitely worth it! In general, we found Rome way too insanely crowded, but going to these places is like a breath of fresh air...bravo Viator!
Marion E United Kingdom
Great half day trip from Rome. Hadrian's villa was impressive but the fountains at Villa d'Esta were awsome!
Our guide was very informative. There were no crowds, which was so nice. The Villa d'Este, was beautiful.
Hadrian's Villa was good, it's quite ruined now except the most modern bit with the pool at the end which was very nice
nice. Villa d'Este was amazing everything still as it was when it was built. Could have done with another 30:00 minutes to have a better look around but still worth doing.
I am giving this tour five stars with a warning to the reader. If you have the time and money, consider doing the full day tour instead. Both villas are absolutely astounding in their beauty, and you will want to spend as much time seeing the ruins in Hadrian's Villa and exploring the gorgeous gardens of Villa d'Este. My husband and I rushed to see everything we could on this tour, and would've preferred the day trip to explore at a more leisurely pace.
Still, this is not a bad tour in the least! Our guide showed us the best that Hadrian's Villa had to offer, and gave a short tour of the gardens of Villa d'Este before letting us explore on our own. If you only have the time to do a half-day trip, you won't want to miss this for the world. Absolutely stunning locations you wont see anywhere else. It's a great mix of history and beauty you will love, and you'll fill your camera with many photos from these places.
Excellent trip. A little rushed an extra half-hour in Tivoli would have been nice, to have a coffee or icecream, or a chance to shop but a great way to see two outstanding sites, with knowledgable and friendly multilingual guides.
Excellent tour, highly recommended!

|Here are some details about my project:
|Funky, Romantic, Casual
What advice would you give someone starting this project? I used a size 11 needle - that is the size the shop owner recommended, and the youtube video suggested the same size. The directions on the skein called for a smaller size. Once you get the hang of working with this style of yarn, it is pretty fast - it ruffles on its own as you knit.
i HAVE MADE OVER 50 OF THSES AND i TAUGHT MY SISTER TO KNIT AND SHE HAS NOW MADE MORE THAN i HAVE...WE SELL THEM AND GIVE THE PROFIT A TOWARDS GETTING PEOPLE /KIDS AND WOMEN AND MEN OUT FROM UNDER SLAVERY AND OFF THE STREET.
Where do you get the yarn?
This was a different yarn but i have made the same scard with red heart sashay yarn that I got at joanns. http://www.joann.com/red-heart-boutique-sashay-yarn/zprd_11329448a/
also this kind has the same effect: http://www.joann.com/patons-pirouette-yarn/zprd_11638574a/

More severe weather today with rain and thunderstorms has prompted the National Weather Service to issue a Flash Flood Warning for the Bozeman area all day today.
Jack Black and Kyle Gass of Tenacious D were in New Zealand recently and stopped by a news show to help deliver the weather. Hilarity, obviously, ensued:
Monday is going to be another windy day in southwest Montana (and we thought this weekend was pretty bad.) Where and how bad?
It's been a windy and mildly snowy weekend in the Bozeman area, but there is more snow on the way overnight. How much?
We're currently experiencing an actual spring season here in Montana, mosquito season might not be too far off. Get ready for pesky mosquito invasions by making this inexpensive repellent yourself:
Snow is in the forecast for our area tonight with temps dropping for the next few days. In addition, a High Wind Warning has been issued for parts of southwest Montana. Details here:
Bozeman High School Latin students, along with Latin teacher Erika Shupe, will be featured on national television. The Weather Channel will air a half hour segment entitled, "A Storm NAMED Winter" premiering Tuesday evening, March 19, at 8 pm ET and again at 11 pm ET. Details here:
Spring begins this Wednesday (if you can believe that) but today will be snowy and breezy in SW Montana with this Winter Weather Advisory in effect until tonight.
Analysts say Montana's snowpack level this year is slightly below average.
Folks living or traveling in the higher elevations are going to see some snow today and tonight. Also great news for people who have Monday off to ski! Details here:

We appreciate your interest and love for our European Style Organic Artisan Butter. Unfortunately, we are not able to produce the butter at this time. Our goal is to have it available this holiday season. Please check back this fall to see an update. Thank you for supporting our family farm!
In the spring of 2009 we began processing our own organic dairy products. When you purchase our Certified Organic artisan dairy products, you not only get a healthful, premium product that you can feel good about serving to your family, you also support a system of agriculture that is environmentally sound.
You can find McClelland's Dairy quality organic products on store shelves in California as well as at local farmer's markets. Our flagship product is a European style organic butter.
McClelland's Dairy Artisan Organic Butter This European-style butter is made with organic milk produced on the
coastal hills of Sonoma County. We start with the best quality
organic milk that is cold-separated to ensure the quality of the
butterfat in the cream. The cream is then pasteurized in a
small vat to produce a rich, robust flavor. The butter is tumble
churned in small batches to achieve the perfect texture, then sea salt from the Sea of Brittany in France is added.
It revives the old world values we started our dairy with in 1938.
"From She to Thee" a slogan started by Bob McClelland for his hand
delivered milk - is now available once again with hand-packed
butter. It delivers all the quality you would expect from the
McClelland Dairy heritage. This artisan organic butter is available
by visiting local farmer's markets
or your local stores throughout the Bay Area. Click here for information on purchasing this special reserve
Our Butter is Award Winning:
Our European Style Organic Artisan Butter is tumble churned the old fashioned way, giving it extra flavor and a creamy texture. Starting with the highest quality milk and these churning techniques have made our butter award winning. Our butter was a Double Gold winner (unanimous winner from all judges) at this years Sonoma County Harvest Fair and won 3rd prize in the nation at the American Cheese Society Conference!
Our Dairy Cows are:
Our Products are Organic
FOR ORGANIC DAIRY FARMERS, certification requirements include very specific standards addressing the introduction of new animals to a herd, veterinary practices, and housing and grazing. Even the handling of manure on an organic farm is regulated to ensure that run-off is not polluting aquifers or waterways. Organic standards also cover processing and packaging of the final product.

Konchesky. A pile of dogsh*t or useful squad member?
Dave, the reason that players get scapegoated is because by signing for LFC they are signing on to expectation. We have a tradition of being the best and that means making very few mistakes. Kuyt and Carra have been through the mill and come out better players, Lucas is on his way out of the mill himself right now. Theres one of 2 things that will happen with Paul Koncheskey, he will either fall by the wayside and be replaced or he will dig deep, concentrate, work hard and come out the other side as a better player. Either way, which ever way he goes will be what he deserves.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Sorry Hobbs got to disagree with you here. You are correctly describing the reality of the current times, but not sure it's either the tradition, or what is in the interests of the club.
I'm not trying to defend PK, as I think he was a poor signing, and at best is a squad player. But the key here is expectations. If anyone thought that PK coming in would mean we'd just signed a top class LB, then to be fair they need their head examined. So why grade him as if he were a top class LB when he fails to live up to that level?
One the one hand I'd like to agree with you that as a large club, and a club with not just a history and tradition of being the best, but aspirations of quickly returning to that level, that we should be signing the best and holding players accountable if they are not the best.
However, with no new money being invested in the transfer market over the last 3 seasons, a little realism has to creep into our thinking. When we've been forced to sell to spend the best we've been able to hope for is some canny shopping to improve the squad at the margins. Honestly think who was the last really top class players we've been able to bring in? Torres is the only one that comes to mind, everyone else has been players for one reason, maybe good, but have not been wanted by others. That is called shopping at the discount window.
PK is a squad player, and was brought in to fill a hole. Insua was let go on loan (bad move imo, but not Paul's fault), and Aurellio has proven unreliable due to injuries. We had little or no money to spare, so we get what we pay for.

Backyard Barbeque (With Anarchy)
|Fry 50 enemies with the Flying Platform. (Campaign Mode)
The enemies with the Flying Platform begin to appear in Stage 2 during the rainy environment. To make it rain, simply kill 20 enemies in Street Brawl. There will be a chance the enemy with the Flying Platform will appear. Attack the Flying Platform a few times to knock the enemy off of it, which you can then hijack with . Press to use the Flamethrower attachment. Killing 50 enemies with this will take some time so you may have to hijack multiple Flying Platforms to unlock this. Please note that you cannot hijack Flying Platforms during missions as they will explode instead. Additionally, during Black Side 2-1 Free there is a race-style mission where you will be on a Flying Platform. I tried to unlock this achievement during that mission but I didn't seem able to do so, so I am unsure if that mission will count towards this achievement. Nevertheless, here is a video of that mission to show off the Flying Platform:

'This Town' puts D.C. under witty, insightful, sobering microscope
The clubby political world of Washington, D.C., as Mark Leibovich describes it in "This Town," resembles WWE a little: faces and heels acting out story lines of intense conflict while all working together to get rich.
"A gold rush has enthralled the place," Leibovich writes. "It has, in recent years, become a crucible of easy wealth, fame, forgiveness and next acts. Punditry has replaced reporting as journalism's highest calling, accompanied by a mad dash of 'self-branding,' to borrow a term that had now fully infested the city." »Read Full Article

'Before I Die' wall installed at Sky High
Death has a way of clarifying life, or so say great philosophers and New Orleans artist Candy Chang. It has a way of making us examine the kind of person we want to be, the life we want to live, the people who are important to us.
On Tuesday, people in the Bay View neighborhood were confronted by the finiteness of their lives as a result of one of Chang's projects. A wall that reads "Before I die I want to..." and has little buckets of colored chalk so people can fill in the blanks was installed at the Sky High Skateboard Shop and Gallery, 2501 S. Howell Ave., and in cities across the U.S. on Tuesday. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

Rational conformal field theory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article does not cite any sources. (March 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In theoretical physics, rational conformal field theory is a special type of conformal field theory with a finite number of conformal primaries. In these theories, all dimensions (and the central charge) are rational numbers that can be computed from the consistency conditions of conformal field theory. The most famous examples are the so-called minimal models.

There's no clear answer why Maggie Lauten, the military brat, vanished from A Different World. Some say Marisa Tomei left the show on her own, some rumors circulate that she wanted to do a storyline where her black boyfriend brought her home to shock his parents and NBC said no, and some say there just wasn't any room on the Cosby Show spinoff for her character. Whatever the reason, Marisa Tomei's career hasn't been negatively effected by leaving the show after the first season.

The German government is due to draw up legislation to enshrine the right of same-sex couples to share in the adoption of a partner's stepchild or previously adopted child.
The ruling by the Federal Constitutional Court allows same-sex couples to adopt the same child on an individual basis, although they still cannot adopt a child together as a couple.
Since 2001 Germany allows same-sex couples to register in a civil partnership.

CS 278 – Sex and the Brain: Gender, Sex and Biology
Jane Couperus
Tuesday, Thursday 12:30-1:50 p.m.
This course is designed to examine sex, gender, and sexuality in multiple contexts. The primary aim of this course is to develop an understanding of the biology and neuropsychology of sex gender and sexuality. Additionally the course will examine how biological and environmental factors influence sex gender and sexuality across development and how these factors influence differences in brain and behavior. Course requirements will include reading primary research articles in the fields of psychology neuroscience sociology anthropology and women's studies.
CSI 147 – Land Stories, Land Rights
Susan Darlington
Tuesday, Thursday 10:30-11:50 a.m.
Humans have long identified with the land on which they live. Yet different people tell different stories of themselves, their histories, their relations with the land and the land itself. Whose stories are heard while others are silenced? How do told and untold stories affect access and rights to land or decisions about land use? This course will explore cases from around the world, examining debates surrounding U.S. national parks, conflicts involving religion, gender and land rights, environmental justice, and questions of indigenous rights versus economic development. Theories from anthropology, history, human rights and agrarian studies will inform our explorations of these controversies.
CSI 152 – Social Movements and Social Change: Zapatismo & Latin America's "Third Left"
Margaret Cerullo
Tuesday, Thursday 12:30-1:50 p.m.
Today, newspapers speak of a decided tilt to the left in Latin America (Ecuador, Venezuela, Bolivia, for example, all have presidents who affirm socialism). This movement is accompanied, or propelled by, indigenous coalitions, that are challenging even governments firmly in the US orbit (Uribe's Columbia). This was not the case fifteen years ago, when, to everyone's astonishment, the Zapatistas rose in revolt in Chiapas. Surfacing the same day that NAFTA went into effect-January 1, 1994, they announced a different vision of Mexico's future. The actions and writings of the Zapatistas constitute an extraordinary case study in which many preoccupations converge: the economic, the political, indigenous rights, women's rights, civil society, cultural memory, and writing that is poetic and political. Focusing on the Zapatista revolt enables us to consider an example of "local" resistance to "global" designs, the ongoing challenge to neoliberal economics and to limited conceptions of "democracy" that condemn populations to invisibility, their cultural memory to oblivion, and their needs and knowledge to subaltern status.
CSI 260 – Rethinking the Sexual Body
Angela Willey
Monday 6:30-9:00 p.m.
This seminar will provide a forum for students to consider the relationship between body theory, gender, and sexuality both in terms of theoretical frameworks within gender studies, and in terms of a range of sites where those theoretical approaches become material, are negotiated, or are shifted. We will pay particular attention to the historical slippage among racial and sexual bodily signs and symbols. The course is a fully interdisciplinary innovation. It will emphasize the links rather than differences between theory and practice and between cultural, material, and historical approaches to the body, gender, and sexuality.
CSI 180 – Culture, Identity and Belonging
Barbara Yngvesson
Tuesday, Thursday 10:30-11:50 a.m.
This class draws on the experiences of migrants, refugees, adoptees, and other displaced populations to consider issues of belonging and exclusion and the ways that race, gender, ethnicity, and class contribute to identity, marginality and to experiences of living outside the law. A central focus will be the tension between experiences of wholeness and continuity (of a "self") and narratives of identity that are fragmented, hybrid, and constituted by a tug-of-war between different selves, different histories, and different spatial locations.
CSI 202 – Chicana & Latina Epistemologies & Pedagogies
Judith Flores Carmona
Monday, Wednesday 1:00-2:20 p.m.
This course will explore the testimonios and autobiographical writings by Latinas in the United States--Chicanas, Puertorriquenas, Cubanas, Mexicanas, Dominicanas, Guatemaltecas, and Latinas of other nationalities and mixed cultural heritages. Students in the course will explore life stories through many forms: "testimonios," memoirs, autobiographies, oral histories and short stories, poetry and poetic prose pieces, essays, and audio-stories. Through reflecting on their experiences as women of color in the U.S., Latina and Chicana writers have revolutionized feminist theory and the way we think about women's identities and struggles by introducing the concepts of the "borderlands," of simultaneous oppressions, of "new mestiza" identities. Through this course, we will explore the diversity and commonality of Latina experiences gathering and using testimonio as method.
CSI 224 – The Battle Between Science and Religion in Reproductive Health
Marlene Fried
Tuesday, Thursday 2:00-3:20 p.m.
This course will explore contemporary debates over religion v. science in the areas of sexuality and reproduction. Questions asked will include: What is ?junk? science and is it in the eye of the beholder? How does one identify and counter pseudoscientific claims? Can science be distinguished from ideology? Issues to be investigated include: the FDA?s refusal to approve over the counter distribution of emergency contraception; claims that abortion is linked to breast cancer and post-traumatic-stress disorder; the removal of information about condoms and HIV/AIDS prevention from the CDC website; the effectiveness of abstinence-only sexuality education; objections to stem cell research. We will look at these issues in the context of broader societal debates such as that over creationism v. intelligent design and challenges to claims about the objectivity of science. Finally, we will examine viewpoints which offer alternatives to the polarization. Requirements: participation in class discussion; completion of short essays based on the readings; a research paper or project.
CSI 256 – Family, Gender, Power
Margaret Cerullo, Kay Johnson
Wednesday 2:30-5:20 p.m.
In this course we explore questions concerning the bases of women's power and subordination in different historical, class, race, and cultural locations, with particular attention to women's position in relation to kinship and the political order. Our case material came from Europe, China, and the US. In the Europe and China cases, we examine the emergence of different patriarchal structures and the role of the state in shaping family, gender and reproduction. In the US case, we focus on the racialized production of gender and kinship from the era of slavery to the rise of the welfare state and its dismantling in the name of "family values." Throughout the case studies, we highlight various forms of resistance to subordination and the diversity of lived experiences.
CSI 257 – Gender, Migration, and Globalization in 20th Century U.S. History
Lili Kim
Tuesday 12:30-3:20 p.m.
Scholars often speak of transnational migration and globalization as a recent phenomenon. The United States, however, has long witnessed mass movements of immigrants and migrants affected by global economies, labor and capital expansion, imperialism, and colonialism. This seminar explores theories and histories of migration and immigration in the age of globalization, focusing particularly on the gendered experiences of migration, labor, citizenship, identity, and resistance in the United States and beyond over the last century.
CSI 294 – Advanced Readings in Work, Gender, and Development
Laurie Nisonoff
Wednesday 9:00-11:50 a.m.
This is a research seminar on women, work, gender and development. We will read both classic and current readings on these topics from scholars from around the globe, and about men and women around the globe. Questions including gender and the economic crisis, the global assembly line, commodity chains, the informal economy, the care economy, migration, and the transformation of work within the household will be addressed. We will specifically address efforts to organize at many locations. Everyone will be expected to work on a research project, and to critique both the readings and one another's work.
HACU 108 – Post Cuban Cinema and Photographic Arts
Jacqueline Hayden
Friday 10:30-11:50 a.m., 1:00-2:20 p.m.
From iconic images of Che to the self examinations of Afro Cuban artist Rene Pena, the mythical realism of Cirenaica Moreira, and photographic based collages of Eduardo Hernndez Santos that examine gay identity to existential problems, exodus, homosexuality and women's issues we will analyze the evolution of Cuban still photography alongside its cinematic achievements into the 21st century within their historical, social and political context. Students will be expected to read historical and theoretical text and art criticism, and write short response papers as well as produce photo/video projects that relate to the content of the course. Visiting Cuban artist, Eduardo Hernndez Santos will be presenting some of the course material and it serves as a foundation course for Hampshire College's semester abroad program in Havana, Cuba. This course will be taught in Spanish and English. An intermediate level of Spanish language is strongly recommended.
HACU 160 Feminist Philosophy and the Technologies of Race/Gender/Coloniality
Monique Roelofs
Tuesday, Thursday 12:30-1:50 p.m.
An exploration of basic concepts and ideas that help one think critically and analytically about race, class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, nation, and the local-transnational divide. Questions we will ask include: How do language, performativity, and political economy function as tools of cultural construction that produce us as we produce them? How do these factors regulate desire and serve to legitimize oppression and violence? In what ways are symbolic systems able to exceed social formations in which they are implicated? The course explores philosophical questions concerning intersectionality; embodiment; coalition and collectivity; postcolonial and global feminisms; neoliberalism and the commodification of difference; queer textuality and politics; theories of transformation and critique.
HACU 177 – Ireland Imagined
L. Brown Kennedy
Tuesday, Thursday 2:00-3:20 p.m.
This discussion-based seminar will focus on the inter-relationship of language, the land, history and memory in narratives by Twentieth Century Irish writers. Possible writers include James Joyce, Elizabeth Bowen, Edna O'Brien, Roddy Doyle, Seamus Deane, Naula O'Faolain, Claire Boylan and William Trevor. The texts that we will be reading deal implicitly and at times very explicitly with the violence of war, of famine, of emigration, of family disorder and, most recently, of economic boom and bust. They picture landscapes and cityscapes that that are marked with layers of ruins, and zones of new building. They also represent children, women and men who are living in a period of rapid societal change-- struggling with questions of personal as well as national identity and responsibility, with the landscapes of the house and the body as well as the street and the field, with the pleasures and anxieties of eroticism, the frustrations of gender roles, the continued pull of myth and memory, the problem of belief. As time allows we will include some poems, a play script or two, and several film screenings, but the focus will be on the preeminent Irish genre of storytelling-in short story, novella and fictionalized memoir. Discussion of a common core of readings will occupy the first two- thirds of the semester. The last section of the course will involve independent research on a current Irish writer of short fiction. This class is writing intensive. Students, depending on their preparation and preferences, will submit (along with weekly short writings) either a set of three carefully rewritten critical essays or a combination of one rewritten essay and a longer independent paper incorporating historical/theoretical research.
HACU 242 – Antebellum Social Movements
Susan Tracy
Tuesday, Thursday 2:00-3:20 p.m.
The "antebellum period" (1820-1860) is the tumultuous period before the Civil War which witnessed the "modernization" of the Northern economy, society and politics fueled by the Euro-American population into the West engendering several Native American Wars, a foreign war in Mexico, and domestic turmoil over the expansion of slavery. The United States in this period witnessed rapid industrialization, urbanization, and immigration that changed the nature of citizenship itself. Some people inspired by Christian evangelism sought "a more perfect union" through social change movements. In addition to the intersectional conflict over slavery which eventually drove the country to Civil War, this period witnessed an interracial anti-slavery movement, an active feminist movement, utopian communities movements, and a peace movement. The origins, membership, and legacy of these movements will be our focus. Students will complete several short assignments and a final research paper which could be based on local archival research.
HACU 268 – Women Filmmakers: History, Theory, Practice
Joan Braderman
Wednesday 6:00-9:00 p.m.
A course in reading films and videos as well as considering how they are produced historically, we will take gender as our point of departure. Engaging actively with making visual images will be part of our work. We explore the reasons for the historical absence of women filmmakers and study the works they produced when they won the right to do so. International cinemas, both dominant medias and films and videos made to oppose that system will be examined. We will analyze diverse works: from avant-garde director, Germaine Dulac, in Paris in the twenties of the last century to Ida Lupino, in Hollywood in the 50's to the 70's explosion of feminist films and videos and the historical and theoretical work that accompanied them. We will also consider several contemporary directors, though the largest bodies of work so far have been made by that group of women who were stirred into action by the Second Wave of the Women's Movement - who are still working today, such as: Sally Potter, Yvonne Rainer, Margarethe Von Trotta et al. Students are expected to attend all class meetings and learn to take detailed formal notes on all films and tapes screened. In addition to weekly assignments, an ambitious final project should be written, performed, photographed, filmed or installed.
HACU 280 – Immigration Nation: Ethnic Stereotypes, US Politics, and the Media
Susana Loza
Tuesday, Thursday 12:30-1:50 p.m.
This seminar will examine the history of US immigration from the founding of the American nation to the great waves of European, Asian, and Mexican immigration during the 19th and early 20th centuries, to the more recent flows from Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa. In addition to investigating how these groups were defined and treated in relation to each other by the media, we will consider the following questions: Who is an "American?" Has the definition shifted over time? How do contemporary political debates about immigration compare with those from previous eras? Is public opinion about immigration shaped by the media? How are arguments over citizenship bound up with ideas of race, class, ethnicity, gender, and nation? Special attention will be paid to the role of immigration in national politics; Hollywood's fabrication and circulation of ethnic stereotypes; and the virulent xenophobia routinely exhibited on cable news.
HACU 284 – Lovers, Goddesses, Talking Animals: Classics of Indian Literature
Tuesday 5:00-7:50 p.m.
Introduction to the classical and medieval literature of India in translation, mainly from the Sanskrit, Tamil and Hindi languages, from multiple regional and religious traditions. We will read masterworks from 500 B.C to the 18th century, focusing on genre, themes (kingship, love, nature, gender, ethics, religion), literary theory and criticism, and comparisons with similar and related works in European literature. The texts and genres studied are: the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata, classical Sanskrit drama (Kalidasa's Shakuntala and the Ring of Recollection), Sanskrit and Tamil lyric poems on love, war and wisdom, the Panchatantra animal tales, stories of adventure and wit from the Ocean to the Rivers of Story, the poems of the mystics Antal, Surdas, Mirabai, Kabir and Chandidas, in several languages, and the Urdu ghazals of Ghalib.
HACU 288 – Shakespeare and Woolf
L. Brown Kennedy
Monday, Wednesday 10:30-11:50 a.m.
"Lovers and mad men have such shaping phantasies, that apprehend more than cool reason ever comprehends." (A Midsummer Night's Dream) In the first part of the course we will read Shakespeare (five plays) and in the latter part Virginia Woolf (four novels and selected essays). Our main focus will be on the texts, reading them from several perspectives and with some attention to their widely different literary and cultural assumptions. However, one thread tying together our work on these two authors will be their common interest in the ways human beings lose their frames of reference and their sense of themselves in madness, lose and find themselves in love or in sexuality, and find or make both self and world in the shaping act of the imagination. The method of the course will include directed close reading, discussion, and periodic lectures.
HACU 298 – Border Culture: Globalization and Contemporary Art
Lorne Falk
Thursday 7:00-9:50 p.m.
This course will look at the phenomenon of globalization and contemporary art through the lens of border culture, a term that refers to the "deterritorialized" nature of an image when it is removed from its context or place of origin. Its themes include borders within the realms of language, gender, ideology, race, and genres of cultural production. Border culture emerged in the 1980s in Tijuana/San Diego in a community of artists who had spent many years living outside their homelands or living between two cultures-an experience that in 2011 might well represent the nature of contemporary life as well as art praxis. Division II and III students will have the opportunity to develop an independent paper, website, or portion of their thesis in this course.
IA 188 – Performing Identity: Race/Gender/Sexuality in Theory and Practice
Jaclyn Pryor
Tuesday, Thursday 12:30-3:00 p.m.
How are identities such as race, gender, and sexuality constructed, contested, rehearsed, and reproduced through performance? In this course, we will read theories of the politics of identity as they relate to issues of performance, performativity, and embodiment. Students will also read contemporary feminist, queer, and anti-racist plays and performance art. Throughout the semester, we will put our theory into productive practice, translating both theoretical as well as performance texts onto our own bodies--students will work collaboratively as actors, dancers, directors, choreographers, dramaturgs, and designers. In partnership with invited guest artists from the Performing Identity Series, students will also devise original performance work.
NS 272 – Anthropology of Reproduction
Pamela Stone
Wednesday 1:00-3:40 p.m.
This course focuses on the biological and cultural components of reproduction from an evolutionary and cross-cultural perspective. Beginning with the evolution of the pelvis, this course examines the nutritional problems, growth and developmental problems, health problems, and the trauma that can affect successful childbirth. The birth process will be studied for women in the ancient world and we will examine historical trends in obstetrics, as well. Worldwide rates of maternal mortality will be used to understand the risks that some women face. Birthing customs and beliefs will be examined for indigenous women in a number of different cultures. Students will be required to present and discuss material and to work on a single large research project throughout the semester that relates to the course topic.
