When Taylor Swift's latest single, "Shake It Off," debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on Aug. 27 after selling an astonishing 544,000 downloads in one week, it was a fitting exclamation point on a singularly lady-centric summer music season. The domination of female artists is especially impressive considering that it's almost a complete 180 from last year, when Robin Thicke, Daft Punk, Justin Timberlake, Florida Georgia Line, Bruno Mars, and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis monopolized the landscape, often with songs in which women figured only as objects of affection or seduction.
This year 24-year-old Iggy Azalea led the way in February when she released "Fancy"—a song that went on to become as close to a definitive summer jam as we had. Between Charli XCX's singsongy hook, Azalea's rapid-fire rap, and a video that winkingly paid tribute to Clueless, the track hit a sweet spot with Hot 100 fans and provided a launching pad for Charli, whose "Boom Clap" subsequently followed "Fancy" onto the top 10.
Azalea is also a featured player on the season's other inescapable hit, Ariana Grande's saxtacular "Problem," and at one point in August both artists had three songs in the top 10—the only time that's happened in Hot 100 history. In addition, Azalea became the first act since the Beatles to reach No. 1 and No. 2 simultaneously with her first two Hot 100 songs. Not bad for a girl from Mullumbimby, Australia, who wrote her first verse to get the attention of a guy she had a crush on. ("I'm sure it was terrible," she told EW in March. "But he seemed impressed.")
Katy Perry, who co-penned Azalea's most recent hit, "Black Widow," sold out multiple dates on her Prismatic World Tour, which began in May, while Beyoncé capped her On the Run stadium dates alongside husband Jay Z with a triumphant 16-minute performance at MTV's VMAs on Aug. 24. (She was also honored with the network's Video Vanguard Award, a prize that went to Timberlake in 2013.) Female acts as disparate as Miley Cyrus and Cher racked up huge box office numbers for their tours as well.
But it isn't just the sales figures that are notable—it's the content of the songs. Nearly every one delivers an empowering message, whether it's the dismissal of haters in Swift's "Shake It Off," Meghan Trainor's curve-celebrating "All About That Bass," or Paramore's self-sufficiency anthem "Ain't It Fun."
"Everybody has trouble with confidence these days," Grande told EW in June. "All these young girls hate themselves, and these women have these horrible relationships with men. And men too! We all go through it." She believes that helps explain the appeal of "Problem," whose refrain "I got one less problem without ya" poured from countless boom boxes and car windows this summer. "I feel like it's such an IDGAF song that makes everybody feel great."
Trainor's "All About That Bass" also found success in casting off metaphorical chains. "I was sick of trying to pretend that I'm Rihanna, or pretend I'm a different human," she says. "I freestyled, 'It's pretty clear I ain't no size 2' and I was like, 'Girl anthem."' And it's clearly resonated: "These girls sent me, like, essays about how they hated themselves because of their bodies and the way people were treating them. They heard my song and they said, 'Forget it, I'm just going to love myself.'… It makes me tear up." Even Nicki Minaj's ultrasexual booty ode "Anaconda" had its own feminist angle, reworking Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" from a woman's point of view. (Okay, so maybe that last one's a stretch.)
The movement wasn't limited to pop music, either; Nashville teens Maddie & Tae took on bro country by skewering stereotypes—all those long-legged, golden-skinned beauties hanging off the backs of trucks in videos—with their breakout single, "Girl in a Country Song," which became a top 20 hit on the country charts. "Tae and I were like, 'I don't think we can live up to those expectations,"' Maddie told EW last month. "We thought it would be fun to give this girl in these songs a voice." One of the highlights of their "Country Girl" clip, which has more than 5 million YouTube views, is the shots of men cavorting in cutoffs, a dude-as-decorative-object trend that carried across the board. (See: Drake in Minaj's "Anaconda" video, Big Sean on Grande's "Problem", and Jay Z in all of Beyoncé's public appearances.)
Swift's chart-topping "Shake It Off" is only the first single from her October album, 1989; Charli XCX describes her upcoming release, Sucker, as "very feminine and very raw"; and Maddie & Tae, Jessie J, and Minaj all have records slated for later this year. It may be just past Labor Day, but it looks like our love affair with female hitmakers could be something much more than a summer fling.

Cordova Tornado - Walker County
May 6, 2009
A National Weather Service Damage Assessment Team has surveyed the storm damage in Walker County. It has been determined the damage was the result of a tornado. The tornado has been rated an EF-1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. Damage estimates were consistent with winds around 90 mph.
A tornado touched down on the west side of Cordova along South Street. The tornado tracked northeastward through the city of Cordova. The tornado lifted shortly after it crossed near the intersection of Disney Street and Mass Avenue...near Cane Creek. Numerous trees were snapped off or were uprooted along the path. At least 15 homes were damaged by the fallen trees. One of the trees fell on a train and damaged some of the cars but the train did not derail. The damage path was about 1 mile long and was 300 yards wide at its widest point. A special thanks to the Walker County Emergency Management Agency for help collecting the assessment information.

Social Capitalists
City Year
City Year -- honored to be twice designated a Fast Company Social Capitalist Award winner -- is dedicated to promoting, expanding and demonstrating the power of citizen service, civic engagement, and social entrepreneurship to strengthen democracy in communities across the United States and around the world.
In the words of City Year CEO and co-founder Alan Khazei: "Our core mission is to expand the place of national service in civic life in America and globally, and to enhance its power to improve our communities, country and world."
A fundamental component of this is the City Year youth corps, which unites diverse groups of young people between the ages of 17 and 24 who commit to a year of full-time rigorous service and to engaging others in service.
This year, the organization's 16th service year since being founded in 1988, City Year has 16 sites, with new sites in Little Rock, Arkansas, and Johannesburg, South Africa, joining established sites in Boston; Chicago; Cleveland; Columbia, S.C.; Columbus, Ohio; Detroit; New Hampshire; New York; greater Philadelphia; Rhode Island; San Antonio; San Jose/Silicon Valley; Seattle/King County; and Washington, DC.
During this service year more than 1,000 young leaders will complete more than 1.7 million hours of service. The corps members' service will include an emphasis on mentoring and tutoring children in partnership with public schools, organizing after-school and school vacation programs, and planning and leading community service projects.
Since its inception, City Year has graduated over 7,700 alumni; served 840,000 children; completed 11.8 million hours of service; partnered with more than 840 corporations and 1,800 service organizations; and engaged more than 860,000 citizens in service
City Year's funding is a model of a public-private partnership. City Year is a proud member of AmeriCorps, the federal service initiative, and every federal dollar has been matched by $1.47 from the private sector. Lead investors include the Atlantic Philanthropies and leading private sector institutions including Bank of America, Cisco, Comcast, CSX, and the Timberland Co.
"From our start in 1988, City Year has endeavored to be a true public-private partnership," said Michael Brown, City Year's President and Co-founder. "We are committed to working with and learning from business leaders and that is reflected not only in our deep corporate support but also in our best practices."
City Year's international involvement reflects the organization's commitment to expanding the power of citizen engagement as a means of strengthening democracy throughout the world. This dedication has manifested itself in a variety of ways from hosting visitors from around the world interested in establishing citizen service initiatives to the launch of City Year South Africa in early 2005 with 100 young South African corps members who will reflect the nation's diversity and are committed to South Africa's democracy. To help support the growth and development of a robust citizen service initiative, City Year established the Clinton Democracy Fellowship at City Year in 2001 to develop a global network of young leaders committed to strengthening democracy through citizen service.
In addition to establishing and expanding the power of service through national and international sites, City Year is actively engaged in non-partisan outreach to inform and engage policy makers and opinion leaders about the power of citizen service. Recent efforts include significant involvement in the mobilization of the nation's service organizations in response to proposed budget cuts to AmeriCorps.
Thus it is through practice and policy that City Year works toward the day that citizens of all ages and backgrounds will unite to serve, and that the most commonly asked question of an 18 year old will be: "Where are you going to do your service year?"
The above information was provided by the profiled organization.

September 26, 2008 — University of Virginia history professor and nationally recognized civil rights leader Julian Bond has received a Library of Congress Living Legend Award.
Bond was one of seven honored at the Library of Congress. Also cited were race car driver Mario Andretti; Herbie Hancock, an Academy Award- and Grammy Award-winning jazz pianist and composer; historian David McCullough; Cokie Roberts, a news and political commentator; Frank Robinson, a former major league baseball player and manager; and television journalist Bob Schieffer.
"I felt flattered and honored and especially pleased to be in the company of the other awardees," said Bond. "By lucky coincidence, I was able to lead a chorus of 'Happy Birthday' to fellow honoree Herbie Hancock."
The Library of Congress honored the septet as part of its public celebration in April marking the opening of the "Library of Congress Experience," which offers visitors the opportunity to explore rare historical and cultural treasures through interactive technology and a companion Web site.
Bond, chairman of the board of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, received the award for the legacy of his lifetime work. As a student at Morehouse College in 1960, he was a founder of the Atlanta student sit-in and anti-segregation organization and of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, or SNCC.
He was elected in 1965 to the Georgia House of Representatives, but was prevented from taking his seat by members of that chamber who objected to his opposition to the Vietnam War. He finally took his place in the Georgia House following a third re-election and a unanimous decision by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Bond is also a poet and author and has narrated several documentaries, including the prize-winning series "Eyes on the Prize."
In March of this year, Bond donated his personal papers to the University of Virginia Library. The collection holds 47,000 items, including photographs, recordings, drafts of more than 300 speeches, Bond's correspondence with civil rights activists and memorabilia. The collection also chronicles Bond's service in the Georgia General Assembly, and documents his 1976 presidential run and leadership of the NAACP.
The Living Legend awards were presented by the Librarian of Congress James H. Billington, with formerly inducted living legend Mickey Hart, percussionist with the Grateful Dead, as the master of ceremonies.
Established during the library's bicentennial celebration in 2000, the Living Legend award honors artists, writers, activists, filmmakers, physicians, entertainers, sports figures and public servants who have made significant contributions to America's cultural, scientific and social heritage.

The ladies are doing much better in the short. Two clean programs so far...
Glebova is lovely- such a ballerina. She has to improve her spins. Also I hope her federation helps her get a better costume- she really was a ballerina or seemed to be trying to be one with the hands and arms and the costume is so plain and ugh.
52.61 also seems low... though her spins were not great as I noted...
Another great performance! And we have already seen two clean 3Lzs!! yes, her legs are so stiff and her FSSp wasn't really good but her footwork was leonova-like (and it's a positive thing, here )!
If the scores are this low for everybody I am ok with it
I miss Laura Lepisto
I don't want to be 'that poster' but has Jenna gained weight or is it just the costume?
Well, that was unfortunate. She deserves to be in last for sure. She didn't even think to make the second jump a combo. What a pity but I think honestly her career may have peaked. It's too bad.
Hoping for a clean skate from Christina and better "deserved" score...
Go Christina gooooo :D
McCorkell PCS should have been A LOT higher!!
Christina is a fighter but the mistakes will cost her dearly I am afraid.
How is Gao doing?

I hate floppy disks, they're so fragile. Here's how I converted my Atari ST so that it uses SD cards.
Disclaimer – Many things were harmed in the construction of this, specifically a floppy drive, a PC PSU and the home of a spider. Never mind though, considering the amount of fluff in the floppy drive I'm surprised it even worked at all.
If you've not heard of them, the HxC2001 is a floppy disk emulator. It has a standard floppy power connector and data connector on one end, and an SD card slot on the other. You plug it into your computer, shove an SD card in the other end and … that's it really. There's some software to use on your PC to fill the SD card with disk images and a neat little menu system if you have a supported computer system. They're not even limited to Atari STs, Amigas or whatever; if it's got a floppy drive, you can probably make it work, so that crusty old PC that makes your laser cutter work or your MIDI keyboard that has a floppy drive in it, it'll probably work in those too.
I put mine in my Atari ST. It could have gone in my Amiga, but that already has a HDD and my Atari is a bit special. It was the first "real" computer I owned, and as was the custom of the time I used to pester my parents for various upgrades. By the time I'd done with it the machine had 2.5meg of RAM, a TOS 2.06 upgrade, an external floppy drive with a "boot from drive B" modification and a handful less screws and two conflicting "warranty void if removed" stickers.
And now it has an SD card reader in it, an 8 gig memory card and the ability to hold every single Atari ST game, utility and coverdisk ever made, ever in a thing the size of a postage stamp. If this thing existed back in 1993 we'd be rioting in the streets. Also I have a real Atari mono monitor. The only thing I don't have is a hard drive, but Ataris and hard drives is a weird story.
To install the HxC I took the floppy drive out and intended on simply poking the bare PCB through the diskdrive slot. There's a button on the HxC and with careful positioning both are accessible through the 3.5inch floppy slot. It looked a bit rubbish though, having a great big hole in the side of the case, plus there wasn't anywhere convenient to attach the HxC.
So I took the floppy drive apart, discovering the whole thing is held together by exactly one screw and a lot of carefully sprung metal parts. If you push it just so it goes ping! and bits leap out all over the place. Lots of fluff too.
Once the floppy drive was apart I used my finest bodging skills to make a custom mount for the HxC, consisting of two pencil erasers and a quantity of hot glue.
While it was in bits I took the opportunity to check over the rest of the machine to make sure it was OK. The PSU was OK, containing no bulging capacitors, and the board itself looked about as manky as the last time I looked inside the computer. I got my Atari about 22 years ago and it was second hand then, and smelled a bit funny. It still smells the same now.
The RAM upgrade and TOS upgrades were a work of art. Art involving hot glue. You see to upgrade an Atari STFM the upgrade manuals usually begin with "find the CPU in its socket and remove it, place it in the adaptor provided and put the adaptor back in its socket. Do the same with the TOS ROMs". I dimly recall a 14 year old me taking his ST apart on the kitchen table and discovering not a single chip in a socket and thinking "oh bugger, now what do I do?". I think there was a mildly expensive courier trip where the ST went off to be sorted out by the people who sold me the RAM upgrade. I didn't learn since the exact same thing happened with the TOS upgrade too. Going up to TOS 2.06 was way more exciting than Windows 95 ever was.
So the inside of my ST is full of very fine pitch bits of ribbon cable soldered to the legs of things, other things covered in hot glue and some very clever bodging where the adaptor sockets for things were soldered over the top of the chip they were supposed to contain. I don't know who did the modifications for me, but their soldering job was spot on and all I had to do was blow off some fluff and apply hot glue to make sure nothing came off.

Akshat Singh is 8 years old. He is a contestant on India's Got Talent, and he is our new hero.
It's difficult to ascertain much information about Singh, but apparently he's been dancing for a while – there are other videos of him performing elaborate routines when he was just 5.
Judging from his video, he also has miles of charisma, drive and lumbar flexion. While the appropriateness of his routine may be up for debate, its impact is not. Our favorite part is when he comes down the runway to finish his routine by dancing with IGT judge Malaika Arora Khan.
The kid's got a bright future.

Youth award for Liberal Jewish youth
July 29, 2010
Liberal Judaism's LJY-Netzer has been awarded silver status by Youth Mark, an assessment scheme for youth services.
The assessment team included teenagers from across the ethnic and religious spectrum.
LJY-Netzer received the highest ever score in the "youth participation" category in recognition of its democratic decision-making process.
One of the assessors, Ismail Jeilani, 17, said: "As a Muslim, I was always taught in my belief that everyone is a brother and sister to each other. It's really great to see an organisation like LJY-Netzer that puts this into practice. They really do see each other as family."

Laura TS has given you the best answer, for now and for the future. It pretty much goes without saying for me that the top of the center back seam gets taken in by 1/2" and then I taper that to about 1/3 of the way down from neck to waist. It's a relatively easy fix for you to add darts at this point.

• I reviewed the substantial psychiatric literature on the technical strategies of intensive individual psychotherapy of schizophrenia. Numerous issues were covered: the nature of intensive psychotherapy and the nature of schizophrenia from the psychotherapist's point of view, elements of the treatment situation, general technical attitudes, general technical interventions (establishing a relationship, elucidating, tolerating, integrating, and working through), special technical interventions with specific symptoms and resistances, and a final brief discussion of mutative mechanisms.

Regions Financial Corp., the metro area's largest private employer, said today the second-quarter loss narrowed and the percentage of bad loans fell.
The Birmingham-based company said in a statement that it had a loss of $135 million, or 11 cents a share, down from a loss of $244 million, or 28 cents, a year earlier. The profit number is based on the company's net loss, minus a $200 million reserve set aside to cover a possible legal settlement of a government investigation into the Morgan Keegan brokerage unit.
Charge included, the company had a net loss of 28 cents a share, level from a year earlier. Loans not being paid as agreed --- a key measure watched closely by regulators and Wall Street --- fell from March 30, to 4.9 percent of loans, from 5.1 percent.
Regions, which operates 1,900 branches in 16 states and employs 6,000 people in the metro area, said it set aside Morgan Keegan money as a precaution.
The brokerage and some of its executives are under SEC and state investigation to see if securities laws were violated in the sale and operation of the RKM Select family of mutual funds, which cratered when the housing market did the same. The funds were heavily invested in bonds backed by subprime mortgages, and the SEC said it suspects the value of the bonds was falsified by fund managers.
"Regions believes that a loss on this matter is probable," the company said.

LOVE SONGS constantly tell us that we don't know what we have till we lose it all.
The same can be said for an Internet connection, a car starting on a cold morning and fantasy football quarterbacks. You don't know how good you have it until you have to dial customer service. Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?
Unfortunately, similar tactics don't work with fantasy quarterbacks. When they're not playing, the only thing you can call on is your backup. And this season, you better have a good one.

Bearcats Sports Weekly w/Mick Cronin
Darren Savino has been an assistant coach at the University of Cincinnati since 2010, having joined the Bearcats after a four-year stint at Rutgers.
A talented recruiter with long ties to the New York metro area, Savino's 20-year college coaching career includes experience at Rutgers (2006-09) and St. John's (1996-98).
Savino joined the UC staff after a four-year stint at Rutgers where he was a key New York and New Jersey recruiter. He was named the Scarlet Knights interim head coach in April 2010 after the resignation of head coach Fred Hill.
Savino played a key role in recruiting McDonald's All-American and fellow Jersey City, New Jersey native Mike Rosario to the Knights in 2008. Before transferring to Florida, Rosario had made a name for himself in the BIG EAST Conference at Rutgers, averaging 16.2 and 16.7 points as a freshman and sophomore, respectively.
While at Rutgers, Savino also is credited with developing big man Hamady Ndiaye, who was selected by the Washington Wizards in the second round of the 2010 NBA Draft.
Prior to his term at Rutgers, UC head coach Mick Cronin and Savino developed a close rapport at Murray State where Savino served as an assistant from 2004-06. As a member of the Racers' staff, Savino was involved in every aspect of the program, helping Murray State to two Ohio Valley Conference championships and an NCAA Tournament appearance.
From 2002-04, Savino served as an assistant coach at Quinnipiac University overseeing the program's recruiting efforts and player development. He joined Quinnipiac after three years (1999-2002) at the University of New Mexico where the Lobos made three consecutive NIT appearances.
Savino held a similar title at East Carolina University in 1998-99 and at St. John's University from 1996-98. During the second of his two seasons at St. John's, the Red Storm reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time in five years with a team featuring future NBA players Ron Artest, Felipe Lopez, Zendon Hamilton, and Lavor Postell.
Before St. John's, Savino spent the 1995-96 season as an administrative assistant at Seton Hall University. He began his coaching career as a junior varsity coach and assistant varsity coach at Marist High School in Bayonne, New Jersey.
Savino graduated in 1994 from Jersey City College with a degree in business administration, specializing in sports management. He was a member of the Jersey City basketball team that reached the NCAA Division III Final Four in 1992.
A 1989 graduate of St. Anthony High School, Savino played under the legendary Bob Hurley, Sr., where he teamed with Duke star Bobby Hurley and high school All-American, Roderick Rhodes, on a team that won the USA Today national championship his senior season.

The Next Battle for Men's Lacrosse
By Michael Spinner
The debate surrounding Title IX is over. It's dead. It's long lost…and nothing is going to change. As we learned this week with the University of Oregon adding Women's Lacrosse as a varsity sport, the positives the law has brought will continue. However, the negatives will as well. The University of Oregon will never add men's lacrosse at this rate…nor will most Division I schools.
There was, recently, a golden opportunity to create change that would have been nothing short of wonderful in the college athletics world. It was called the "Commission on Opportunity in Athletics" and for opponents of the current interpretation of Title IX, it was a dream come true. 15 "experts" from the worlds of politics, athletics, and education; a national tour where forums were held to express opinions on ways to change the law that has done so much good yet so much bad at the same time; and a genuine vote that would result in a recommendation to the Secretary of Education Rod Paige on how to change the law.
It was all just a tease.
In the end, nothing was accomplished. While the panel did make some smaller recommendations to alter Title IX, when it came to creating bona fide change, the panel did nothing. In fact, the final vote for widespread reform that would have caused a major controversy (but still accomplished something good) ended in a 7-7 tie…the tie occurring because Commissioner Lisa Graham Keegan was not present for the vote.How convenient.
Commissioner Lisa Graham Keegan and Secretary of Education Rod Paige
So, the panel literally did nothing. They left the room on the final day with no sweeping changes, no hope for sports such as men's lacrosse that have suffered as a result of Title IX, and really all that we know for sure is that Title IX is important to maintain but equally important to alter.
In other words, nothing has changed.
When it comes to a politically charged atmosphere where controversial decisions could lead to swing votes to bring a different party to power, nobody knows how to make non-actions look more meaningful than the Federal Government of the United States of America. In this case, political leaders may applaud the Commission for its efforts, and President Bush may speak openly of his opposition to the current interpretation to Title IX, but nothing is going to be changed. The courts won't touch Title IX, neither will the government. Do sports such as men's lacrosse have any hope? Not on this battlefield.
It's time to give up or define the new strategy; find the high ground again. The Commission did bring to light the one aspect of college athletics that may very well be the true stumbling block for the expansion of men's lacrosse. The Title IX route did not work, men's lacrosse now has a new war for expansion to fight against a new enemy…
More specifically, the forums held by the Title IX panel brought to light the fact that overspending by Division I athletics departments is nearly every bit as much to blame for the elimination of many men's sports and the lack of expansion for men's lacrosse as Title IX. Many who testified pointed to the outrageous amounts of money spent at big-budget Division I schools for sports that ultimately lose money. Even the elite Division I institutions that send football teams to bowl games lost money on the very post-season venture that they are competing for and one member of the panel even said that some of the BCS bowl teams lost money despite going to the biggest of bowl games. It's hard to believe but between recruiting, travel, and equipment expenditures, a football program can draw in upwards of 100,000 fans a game and still lose hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Just incredible.
And for smaller Division I football schools, the losses are just as bad. Recently, three members of the MAAC Conference (St. John's, Fairfield, Canisius) dropped their football programs in cost-cutting efforts. St. John's used this opportunity to specifically begin a men's lacrosse program and Canisius has significantly upgraded the status of men's lacrosse at that school. One must wonder how many other schools out there could add men's lacrosse if only they saw the light.
Will lacrosse pundits out there convince schools to drop football to add lacrosse? Probably not. Could a few economists "educate" school administrators about how sports such as men's lacrosse are far more financially feasible than football? Maybe.
It's plain and simple to see how much colleges can save by removing football and adding lacrosse:
- Tuition: The NCAA allows up to 88 football scholarships to Division I schools with many offering between 40-65. Basically, colleges do not make a dime off of tuition dollars for football, and when you add to the mix the cost of recruiting a football player (flying a recruit to campus, flying to a home town for a home visit, etc.), schools actually lose quite a bit of money right up front on their football players. For lacrosse, with the NCAA scholarship max at 12.5 (with most Division I schools offering less than that), schools tend to make quite a bit of money off of their lacrosse players right up front. And while official visits and home visits do happen in men's lacrosse, the number and frequency are not nearly as massive as football.
- Staff: Here's where some money is saved. Division I Football National Champ Ohio State has more than 20 full-time members of its coaching staff. Defending Division I Lacrosse Champ Syracuse has three. If the National Championship is the goal of an institution, it seems that lacrosse is a far more financially feasible possibility.
- Travel: Granted, the expansion of men's lacrosse would mean more travel for lacrosse programs, the massive amount of travel for football programs is simply overwhelming. When football programs travel to a game, they bring the immediate team and an entire entourage of administrators, support personnel, etc. Lacrosse travel requires maybe an SID and most Division I teams make most of their trips on buses.
St. John's, Fairfield, and others including the Big Ten's University of Minnesota can attest that football is an institutional investment that can lose lots of money. While lacrosse is certainly not a college cash-cow, it is far more financially feasible and every bit as exciting as football. It may just be a matter of making the information public.
Those who blame Title IX for the lack of expansion in NCAA men's lacrosse have a valid point, but there is no longer a venue to fight Title IX. That war is over. It's time for the next chapter in the fight for men's lacrosse, a new battle over the use of what are limited resources for college athletics programs. When it comes to gender-equity, there are not many willing to listen to reason. When it comes to saving money, there are very few who will not. Perhaps it is time to start talking about this new battle a little bit more.

Multicultural Math: Lessons from the Mayas
Calendars, Pyramids and Numbers: The Mayas Had it All
The Maya are probably the best-known of the classical civilizations of Mesoamerica. Originating in the Yucatan around 2600 B.C., they rose to prominence around A.D. 250 in present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, northern Belize and western Honduras.
Maya mathematics constituted the most sophisticated mathematical system ever developed in the Americas. The Maya counting system required only three symbols: a dot representing a value of one, a bar representing five, and a shell representing zero.
Mayan Math, Cows and Linear Algebra
We traveled to the Mayan ruins of Copán, Honduras, where math teacher Ternesha Burroughs talked to us about how she incorporates a multicultural perspective to her math lessons.

"You explain this to us. Michel Therrien gets fired Feb. 15. Some 'homeless man' begins throwing letters and other items into Mario Lemieux's yard four days later."
Forward of the Day:
Eric Says: I know Zach is going to say Caputi, so I'll go with Zack Sill. He excelled in all facets of the game today.
Zach says: I was going to say Caputi until the last minute of the game where Tangradi put the team on his back and drew a penalty shot out of it. So I'll go with Tangradi, but Caputi was a close second.
Defenseman of the Day:
Eric Says: Simon Despres
Zach says: I'd have to say Despres as well. He used his stick like we were used to seeing with Hal Gill but also moved the puck well and even beat a few forwards with some quick hands.

I had this for breakfast this morning... feel like a bit of a glut because I had it with some crumbled nuts and banana chips. But wow, *amazingly* good!

1 ripe banana
Handful of strawberries
Raw almond butter
Vanilla creme
Chocolate syrup
2 cups coconut meat
2 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1/4 cup agave nectar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons agave nectar
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons cacao powder
1 teaspoon water
1. Take all the ingredients and put into the blender for 1 minute or until creamy.
2. Pour into a container and let chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes prior to use. The longer it has to cool, the firmer it gets.
3. Put all ingredients into a container, put a lid on container, and shake until well mixed.
4. Split the banana and put the two halves side by side in a bowl.
5. Take a dessert spoon and scoop a large dollop of raw almond butter and place it in the middle of the banana.
6. Take one large scoop of vanilla cream and place it on the banana to the right of the almond butter, and repeat with another scoop of vanilla creme on the left.
7. Chop up strawberries and sprinkle into bowl.
8. Drizzle chocolate syrup on top, grab an eating utensil, and devour!
I love having this for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. Basically whenever I feel like it!
This is my favorite raw vegan concept of a banana split!
Sometimes I also add a handful of spouted and dehydrate buckwheat groats on top when I'm in the mood for something crunchy.
This recipe is pretty versatile, so feel free to play around with it and adjust it to your taste.

I had this for breakfast this morning... feel like a bit of a glut because I had it with some crumbled nuts and banana chips. But wow, *amazingly* good!
2 to 3 young coconuts (depending on how mature they are. more mature, more meat).
This looks great!! About how many coconuts do I need to buy to get the 2 cups of coconut meat, and what kind do you guys suggest?? I've been using the Tahitian young coconuts, but they don't yield much meat. Suggestions?
That sounds and looks amazing. I will be trying it!
that sounds so yummy!!
OH HOW I MISS BANANAS! How does one become allergic to such a wonderful food. =(
Wow this looks incredible. I will be making it in the warmer season when strawberries get better.
Great snack and fun to assemble for the kids. I used hazelnut butter with cacao powder and agave added to make a nutella type nut butter. then the vanilla creme, (no chocolate sauce cause of the nutella) each of my kids choose a different fruit to top it. one had chopped pineapple one had sliced strawberries and the other had blueberries all topped with buckwheaties and a fresh pitted cherry. kids- "AWESOME!"

August 2009 highlights
Restocking continues, consumers become more frugal
There are clear signs in the above chart that the inventory cycle has turned positive again, as customers restock. Globally, data from the American Chemistry Council shows chemical production now down 10.5% versus last year, after being 13.4% down in March, in line with signs that GDP in the west is now stabilising. But will […]
Toyota cuts global auto production
Back in May, the blog suggested that "Chrysler's bankruptcy marks a 'tipping point', when the first major company is finally forced to adjust to a permanently lower level of demand." Now comes news that Toyota is to follow Chrysler's lead, and will cut production on a global basis Toyota produced 9.24m autos last year, but […]
China's economic recovery "uncertain" – premier
The blog was asked to write an analysis for ICIS Insight on the growing concerns about the outlook for China's economy, and their potential impact on the global chemicals inustry. Please click here if you would like to download a pdf copy.
US house sales rise as foreclosure increases
The US housing crisis is still getting worse, causing the weekend collapse of Guaranty Bank, the 11th largest US bank failure. As the Wall Street Journal notes, this marks a "new stage" in the banking crisis. Guaranty Financial had bought low quality, "toxic" mortgage loans, and its woes illustrate the "boomerang effect" that is now […]
GDP's "statistical recovery"
The blog is very interested to see the different outlooks being proposed by central bank heads. US Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke claimed Friday that the financial crisis was due to "panic", rather than fundamental problems such as reckless lending. As a result, with the "panic" over, he now saw the potential for securing "a sustained […]
Politicians start to favour real engineering instead of financial engineering
Many western governments have not seen manufacturing as a major priority in recent years. Instead, they have favoured moves to boost services, particularly the financial sector. US manufacturing employment, for example, has fallen from 19.6m in 1979 to just 11.8m today – the lowest level since 1941. Over the same period, China has taken the […]
Asian irrigation upgrade a $bn opportunity
Some 20 years ago, the blog launched ICI Watercare – which became the largest water treatment business in the chemical industry. So it has kept a close eye on opportunities in the water industry ever since. The weak monsoon season in India highlights one such opportunity. As a new report from the UN Food and […]
Weak monsoon hits India's economic recovery
Monsoon rainfall accounts for 60% of farm irrigation in India, Asia's 3rd largest economy. This monsoon season, it has so far been about 2/3rds of the 10 year average. Last week it was 56% below normal. Although agriculture accounts for just 17% of the economy, the lack of rainfall will also damage the whole rural […]
Managing through interruptions
Henry Mintzberg is one of the blog's favourite management gurus. The reason is that he understands the constraints under which most managers operate. His view is that the best managers aren't Superman or Superwoman, but "are simply ordinary, healthy people who aren't too screwed up". In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, he outlines […]
Paul Hodges is Chairman of International eChem, trusted commercial advisers to the global chemical industry.
The aim of this blog is to share ideas about the influences that may shape the chemical industry over the next 12 – 18 months. It will try to look behind today's headlines, to understand what may happen next in important issues such as oil prices, economic growth and the environment. We may also have some fun, investigating a few of the more offbeat events that take place from time to time. Please do join me and share your thoughts.
Between us, we will hopefully develop useful insights into the key factors that will drive the industry's future performance.

The last time Ulu Grosbard directed his wife, Rose Gregorio, she was dead. It happened on the set of True Confessions, the hit film in which Robert De Niro plays an amoral Catholic priest and Robert Duvall is his older brother, a bitter, case-worn cop. Rose, cast as the madam of a cheap bordello who commits suicide by kitchen gas, ends up on a slab in the Los Angeles morgue. It took five takes to get the corpse identification scene right, one effort failing when Rose lurched up and sneezed in Duvall's grieving face. "It's awful to play dead," she says. "You have to relax so your eyes don't twitch and hold your breath, but then you find yourself wanting to swallow." Happily, she made a most convincing cadaver. Of the film itself, New York Times critic Vincent Canby has declared that it is "a reminder of just how good commercial American movies can be when the right people come together."
For Grosbard and Gregorio, who have been married for 16 years, workday collaboration has been rare. Grosbard, 52, is a Belgian-born perfectionist with a reputation for meticulous artistry. He directed such stage works as Frank Gilroy's 1964 play The Subject Was Roses, David Mamet's American Buffalo in 1977 and this year's Woody Allen comedy The Floating Light Bulb. Gregorio, Chicago-born and in her 40s, won a 1977 Tony nomination for her performance as the devoted daughter of a dying woman in Michael Cristofer's The Shadow Box. Both husband and wife are exacting professionals who understand that being selective about scripts sometimes means being short of assignments. "It's a very unpredictable profession," says Ulu. "You have to find a way of continuing to work, but not just for the sake of working. A good deal is luck and some of it is hard work."
True Confessions involved both. Duvall, an old friend, was Grosbard's immediate choice. But he had to wait to sign De Niro, who was still filming Raging Bull—and 50 pounds overweight. Grosbard sensed his wife was right for the female lead, but was reluctant to push her. He asked a dozen other hopefuls to read for the part. He was pleased when the producers declared Rose the best. "Ulu bends over backwards so that people don't accuse him of nepotism," she says.
His respect for the craft has made Grosbard an actor's director. Woody Allen says, "I'd love to work with Ulu again." Duvall has been an admirer since his days as an impoverished actor doing summer stock, when Grosbard gave him advice and, on occasion, loaned him money. "It's hard to find directors who know anything about acting," Duvall says. "With Ulu arguments are nonexistent, because he knows what he's doing." Adds actor Jack Weston, who won his first Tony nomination for his work in Light Bulb: "You don't feel threatened or nervous with him. He's not the sultan or the dictator. He just sits there and guides you along."
"Directing is an odd occupation," Ulu muses. "Wanting to do it came out of my fascination with why people's lives take certain directions. Destiny is an interesting subject. You are here now—but how easily you could have ended up somewhere else." His life is a case in point. Born in the Belgian port of Antwerp in 1929, the son of a Jewish diamond merchant, Ulu was a "lousy student" as a child. In 1943, when he was 14, his parents fled the Nazi occupation and began a tortuous exodus through France into Spain and finally to Cuba by a refugee boat. "I grew up fast," he recalls. "It was a scary time—the anxiety of not knowing how it was going to end. And the stakes were one's life." Ulu cut diamonds in Havana for five years while waiting for a visa to the U.S. He finally got there in 1948, and promptly entered the University of Chicago, where he earned a B.A. and an M.A. in English.
He then went on to Yale Drama School, where he first met Rose Gregorio in 1953. She was the daughter of Italian Catholic immigrants. Her father was a plasterer and her mother a housewife who had no interest in even going to the theater. "But I can't remember a minute when I did not want to be an actress," Rose says. Her childhood was lonely: "We were an Italian family in an all-WASP neighborhood, and no one would speak to us." Saturdays she lingered in movie houses thinking "how easy it would be to act with all that wonderful, sad music." After debuting as Rip Van Winkle's daughter in a high school play, she majored in drama at Northwestern, then headed for Yale. By 1954 she was in Manhattan looking for work.
"Periodically it was suggested that I change my name because it is very ethnic," she says with a laugh, noting that Anne Bancroft was born Annemarie Italiano. She considered rechristening herself "Paula Gregory." "It probably would have been a good idea," she says, "but something in me wouldn't let me do it."
One afternoon Ulu, then in the Army, was on leave in New York seeing a play. On a whim he called his old acquaintance Rose during the intermission and made a date. "We hit it off right away, though we're very different kinds of people," says Rose. "He is more gregarious; I'm a bit of a hermit. He is more subtle; I see things in black and white and broad strokes. I'm much more romantic; he is more sentimental." Ulu still wears his mother's wedding band on his little finger.
During their courtship Ulu found his first job—as a messenger—by knocking on doors listed under "Motion Pictures" in the Yellow Pages. Later his persistence got him into a TV-movie company in Yonkers, and he worked up from gofer to production manager. His first break came in 1961, when he became assistant to director Elia Kazan on Splendor in the Grass. His Broadway directing debut, The Subject Was Roses, was an instant smash.
The following year he married Rose, who had been through Lee Strasberg's Actors' Studio and starred in Ulu's first off-Broadway production, a successful 1962 drama called The Days and Nights of Beebee Fenstermaker. "They were married in front of a crackling fire in my living room by a justice of the peace who looked like he'd been sent from Central Casting," recalls playwright Frank Gilroy. "After the ceremony Rose turned and said, 'My God, the actress has just married the director at the playwright's country home—it's like a movie from the 1930s.' "
Reality was the one-bedroom Greenwich Village apartment they still share. They decided early on not to have a family. "Ours is a difficult profession in which to rear children," Rose explains. "So much of your energies have to go into your work."
When she is not working, she admits, "I'm very unhappy. It's easier for a director to initiate his own project. An actor is at everybody's mercy. In the beginning you take anything that comes along, hoping it will further your career. But once you are recognized you have to become choosy." That may not help the joint bank account, but it leaves them time to prowl antique shops, house-hunt in Connecticut and keep in touch with old friends like Duvall and Gene Hackman. "Rose and Ulu are the kind of people," says producer Manny Azenberg, "who come backstage to hug you whether you do a play that is wonderful or a play that is not so wonderful."
Between the hugs at home, Rose and Ulu fight. "I'm very quick-tempered, he is more of a brooder," Rose explains. "We are both strong, opinionated people. We have real arguments and sometimes we fight dirty, but we don't stay angry long. Many marriages fail," she adds, "because people expect it to be something it can't be. You have to be willing to battle it out and want to make it work."
They have done so partly out of a shared devotion to their profession. "Sometimes I think, 'Wouldn't it be nice to know what you're going to do every day?' " says Ulu wistfully. "To go to a bank job, start as a teller and become the president. This life is so uncharted I have no idea what I will be doing next spring." Currently he's rehearsing Pulitzer-winning playwright Beth Henley's new comedy, The Wake of Jamie Foster, in Hartford, Conn., while Rose is negotiating for a new play. But they both know why they live with the separations and the vagaries. "Everyone who goes into this business wants to be rich and famous," says Rose. "Even though we'd all like to have money, and it's certainly nice to be celebrated, in the end what really counts is doing the work you believe in."
He Cast His Wife as a Hooker, but Director Ulu Grosbard Says His Rose Is Still Sweet

Boston College Law School held the kickoff event to celebrate the School's 75 years in existence on Monday, October 4, 2004, welcoming Father Robert F. Drinan, S.J., back to campus to address the Law School community. The celebration drew close to 300 people to campus as Father Drinan, who served as the Dean of BC Law from 1956 through 1970, kept the crowd enthralled with an energetic and inspiring speech. Drinan received the Law School's first Distinguished Service medal, in recognition of his many great contributions to the School, the legal profession, and the public interest.
"Father Bob Drinan was one of the most influential deans in the history of the School," said BC Law Dean John H. Garvey in introducing Drinan. "He was instrumental in expanding and improving the reputation of Boston College Law throughout the nation. I am constantly hearing stories from alumni who were inspired by him, who thank him for getting them into Law School and starting their careers. He has been a personal hero to me."
Throughout Fr. Drinan's tenure as Dean, he devoted his talent and endless supply of energy to bringing national stature to the Law School and to staying on the forefront of innovation in legal education. During his long career he has also served as a priest, professor, lawyer, politician and human rights activist. He has received over twenty honorary degrees, including degrees from Georgetown, Loyola (Chicago), Villanova, Syracuse and Santa Clara.
"In an amazing career that has spanned more than half a century, Father Drinan has never faltered in his extraordinary humanitarian efforts and support for justice under the law," said Dennis W. Archer, President of the American Bar Association, in announcing the selection of Robert F. Drinan. S.J., for the ABA Medal, the ABA's highest honor, in August 2004. "He has demonstrated to lawyers what it means to be committed to public service and to countless law students what is embodied in the highest dedication to ethical, moral legal practice."
Fr. Drinan served in the United States Congress as a Representative from Massachusetts from 1971 to 1981. He was a member of House committees on the Judiciary, Internal Security, and Government Operations and of the House Select Committee on Aging. He chaired the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice of the House Judiciary Committee, and was a member of the Executive Committee of the Democratic Study Group of the Environmental Study Conference and the Steering Committee of Members of Congress for Peace Through Law.
As a Congressman, his travels included official Congressional delegations to Vietnam, Thailand, Hong Kong, China, and Japan. He has also served on private delegations to the Netherlands, South Africa, Sudan, Israel, and the Soviet Union and on privately sponsored human rights missions to Chile, the Philippines, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Argentina, France, and Vietnam. He served as an election observer in Armenia and Panama.
Fr. Drinan has been a professor at the Georgetown University Law Center since 1981. He teaches in the areas of international human rights, constitutional law, civil liberties, legislation, and advanced legal ethics. He is a regular contributor to several law reviews and policy journals and is the author of eleven books on major public issues. His latest book Can God and Caesar Coexist? Balancing Religious Freedom and International Law was published in 2004 by Yale University Press. His other books include The Mobilization of Shame: A World View of Human Rights (Yale University Press, 2001); The Fractured Dream: American's Divisive Moral Choice (Crossroad, 1991); Stories From the American Soul: A Reader in Ethics and American Policy for the 1990s (Loyola Press, 1990); Global Challenges to Christians in the 1990s (University of Tulsa Press 1988); Cry of the Oppressed: The History and Hope of the Human Rights Revolution (Harper & Row 1987); God and Caesar on the Potomac: A Pilgrimage of Conscience (Michael Glazier 1985); Beyond the Nuclear Freeze (Seabury Press 1983); Honor the Promise: America's Commitment to Israel (Doubleday 1977); Vietnam and Armageddon (Sheed and Ward 1970); Democracy, Dissent and Disorder (Seabury Press 1969); Religion , the Courts and Public Policy (McGraw Hill 1963).
Father Drinan serves on numerous committees developed to promote human rights. He is a member of the ABA's House of Delegates and is a founding member and past-chair of the ABA Section on Individual Rights and Responsibilities, which honored him with their first Distinguished Service Award. He is a member of the National Governing Board for Common Cause and the National Council for the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights, and the Board of Directors of People for the American Way, and a past president of Americans for Democratic Action.
He was a founder and member of the Board of Directors of the Lawyers Alliance for Nuclear Arms Control, and a member of the boards of directors for Bread for the World, the Council for a Livable World Educational Fund and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., and an advisor to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Commission.
He served on the Advisory Committee to the U.S. National Archives and the Advisory Board of the Union of Councils for Soviet Jews. He was vice chairman of the National Advisory Council for the American Civil Liberties Union and is a member of the Helsinki Watch Committee. Fr. Drinan chaired the International Committee for the Release of Anatoly Scharansky and Peace PAC, is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Bar Foundation, and was a founder of the National Interreligious Task Force on Soviet Jewry. He is a past board member of the National Board of Trustees of the National Conference of Christians and Jews and a member of the American Law Institute.
Celebrating 75 Years will be marked by a series of events and special programs at Boston College Law School and at various venues across the country, as the Law School commemorates its 75th class, the class of 2007.
The Law School will be highlighting the latest events from the 75th Celebration on these pages in the months to come. For a full listing of Law School events, visit our events page here.

Time wonders if Eli's career year will finally move him out of Peyton's shadow or just into someone else's:
Even with his older brother on the sidelines all year long, Manning's stellar performance has, as usual, been overshadowed. Throughout this entire NFL season, QB talk has flooded the airwaves, chat sites, and barrooms. The dissection of Tim Tebow, whose Denver Broncos host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, has sucked up a chunk of bandwidth. Should Tebow, who has looked terrible for most of games before pulling out fourth quarter heroics, be playing? Should he be praying? Were all those comebacks luck, skill, or a miracle from a higher power? After the Broncos lost three straight games to close the season, is Tebow toast? Outstanding efforts from New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who threw for a record 5,476 yards this season, Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers, the likely NFL MVP whose team finished 15-1, and Tom Brady of the New England Patriots, who also threw for over 5,000 yards, were hot topics. In Eli Manning's own town, the tiresome bluster of New York Jets coach Rex Ryan, and the collapse of his team and Jets underperforming quarterback Mark Sanchez down the stretch of the season, stole the spotlight.

We had a cat who recently died so we thought we would get another one. We looked at a bunch of cats (completely forgetting about the SPCA) and we decided we were going to get this little fluffy female. Then i suggested we should go look at the SPCA so we did. We didnt find anything worth getting. I meen I love all cats and hoped that they got adopted its that they were all older and the youngest one wouldnt stop sneezing. Just as we were leaving one of the employies walked by holding a little orange fluffy male kitten! He was exactly what we wanted!! We werent supposed to gert him he had only been in the SPCA for three days and the cat has to be in the shelter for one week before being adopted. The manager said that we could take him home but if there was a phone call saying that he was someones cat we would have to give him back! the happy part is that there waws no phone call!!!!

Less than a year after completing the controversial planning for North Bethany, Washington County could face yet another land-use hurdle if it assumes a 160-acre parcel currently in Multnomah County.
Area 93, or Bonny Slope West, has been caught in a land-use lurch, remaining undeveloped since being brought inside the urban growth boundary in 2002.
The land north of Thompson Road and east of Saltzman Road is part of Multnomah County but is not eligible for city services such as sewage and water, because it is unincorporated and the county does not provide urban services. Washington County offers sewage services to its many unincorporated areas through Clean Water Services.
"It's been a sitting duck for a while," said Washington County Commissioner Greg Malinowski, who would become the area's representative. He added that taking the area is "a good thing for us, as long as it does not become a burden to current Washington County taxpayers."
There is consensus among both the counties and Metro, the regional government, that changing the boundary line to move Area 93 into Washington County is a good idea, Malinowski said. But the actual shift requires legislative approval, because the state dictates county boundaries.
The transfer appears on Washington County's 2013 legislative agenda and county commissioners have been receptive to the boundary change proposed by state Rep. Mitch Greenlick, D-Portland, and land-use group Oregonians in Action. But the land is likely to raise both philosophical and practical questions about community planning, similar to those that took nearly 10 years to resolve in neighboring North Bethany.
Malinowski said he and county Chairman Andy Duyck have come to a verbal agreement that landowners in Area 93 will foot the cost of any fees for roads and utilities that developers do not cover there.
"The only thing I worry about is if (the landowners) change their minds and decide not to pay for infrastructure," Malinowski said.
Duyck said his understanding of that conversation was different: He doesn't want any current Washington County residents to bear the burden of the costs, but he expects developers will cover any additional infrastructure costs.
Dave Hunnicutt, president of Oregonians in Action, said the 70 landowners there are interested in beginning long-awaited development and willing to pay to do so, he said.
"It's been really frustrating for the property owners there since it was brought into the UGB," Hunnicutt said. "They have been waiting patiently."
In neighboring North Bethany, a combination of funding approaches has helped to cover costs: a countywide transportation development tax, a transportation system development charge for new development and the creation of a county service district that taxes North Bethany landowners $1.25 per $1,000 of assessed home value.
Another issue will be lot density, which helps determine the affordability of the area. The lower the density, the larger the homes and more expensive the area.
Malinowski said he is not interested in building "one-acre executive homes."
But high-density housing may also require higher infrastructure costs, Hunnicutt said.
Discussion of density and formal planning won't begin until a legislative change is made allowing the boundary shift.
Hunnicutt said Oregonians for Action expects the "simple bill" to pass during the current legislative session.
Note: This story has been updated to include Washington County Chair Andy Duyck's comments.
