di Mace419 22 gennaio 2011
In the rare event of one or more males forming a makeshift "totem pole" by sitting on eachnother's shoulders it can be described as a scrotum pole.
Joe couldn't see at the concert last night - he ended up riding one of his friend's shoulders in a veritable scrotum pole.

A derogatory term for the "corporate ladder".
Giving a swallow job to Mr. Smith at the company picnic sure helped Melany climb the scrotumpole.

A term used to refer to the 'peentis' -- the other definition of this word is obviously incorrect and/or queer.

Liam Fitzgerald
Liam Joseph Fitzgerald (born 1 September 1949) is a former Irish Fianna Fáil politician.[1]
Fitzgerald was born in Doon, County Limerick and educated at the Christian Brothers school in Doon, St Patrick's College, Dublin and University College Dublin. He worked as a teacher before becoming involved in politics.
He was first elected to Dáil Éireann at the 1981 general election as a Fianna Fáil TD for the Dublin North-East constituency. He lost his seat at the February 1982 general election but regained it in the November 1982 election.
In 1991 Fitzgerald was a key member of the so-called "gang of four" which proposed a motion of no confidence in the Taoiseach, and the leader of his party, Charles Haughey (the other members of the group were Noel Dempsey, Seán Power and M. J. Nolan). Haughey resigned in early 1992 and Albert Reynolds became Taoiseach, but Fitzgerald remained on the backbenches. He lost his Dáil seat again at the 1997 general election and was then elected to the 21st Seanad on the Labour Panel, and was re-elected in 2002 to the 22nd Seanad.[2]
Fitzgerald resigned the party whip on 27 March 2007 and stated his intention to run as an independent candidate in next general election. It was believed that he did this as a response to his failure to gain the party's nomination for Dublin North-East.[citation needed]. However, he did not stand at the 2007 general election.

Labor and Delivery Process
After checking-in with security on the first floor of Prentice Women's Hospital, you will be directed to the labor evaluation unit where the delivery process begins. The following information will explain what to expect:
Vaginal Childbirth
- A nurse will gather basic information, start a labor status evaluation and contact the appropriate obstetrician/nurse midwife.
- Once true labor begins, mothers are transferred to the labor and delivery room. If not in true labor, the mother will be sent home with instructions about when to return.
- Once in the labor and delivery room, a fetal monitor is connected to check the baby's condition, and possibly start an IV.
- The obstetrician/nurse-midwife will make labor checks to stay on top of the labor progress and explain the progress. As a safety precaution, an anesthesiologist will visit every patient.
- Mirrors and lights are available to help mothers see the birth of their baby.
- Mothers stay in the labor and delivery room for one to two hours after giving birth. Unless there are medical complications, babies may stay with their mothers from the moment of birth. A nurse is present to monitor both mother and child.
- Once stable, mother and baby are transferred to the postpartum floor.
- Mothers should arrive at the hospital 30 minutes before scheduled induction time.
- Once checked-in with security, mothers are directed to the labor and delivery unit to meet a nurse to review the induction process, fit the fetal monitor, start an IV and administer the labor starting medication.
- Once labor begins, the childbirth process begins.
Cesarean Section
- Mothers should arrive at the hospital two hours before scheduled surgery time.
- Once checked-in with security, mothers are directed to surgery floor where a nurse will begin surgery preparations.
- An anesthesiologist will discuss anesthesia options. A spinal or epidural anesthesia will be given, allowing mothers to be alert and awake but numb from the waist down.
- Partners may be present during surgery, which takes approximately one hour.
- Once surgery is complete, mother, baby and partner will be taken to the recovery room and will stay until the anesthesia has cleared, usually after a few hours. Once cleared, mother and child will be taken to the post partum floor.
For the Baby
In the delivery room, your baby will have the following:
- Erythromycin ointment for the eyes
- Vitamin K Injection

Youngstown Playhouse adds `Carnage' performance
January 17, 2013 - Andy Gray
Due to popular demand, the Youngstown Playhouse has added a 7:30 p.m. Sunday show to its run of Yasmina Reza's play "God of Carnage," which is being staged in the Moyer Room.
Friday's performance is sold out, and only a few tickets remain for Saturday.
It's an excellent play and an excellent production. Here's the review that ran Sunday but wasn't posted online:
YOUNGSTOWN -- The Raleighs and the Novaks have a meeting because the Raleighs' son hit the Novaks' son with a stick. For the parents, words are the weapon of choice.
Yasmina Reza's "God of Carnage" is equal parts vicious and hilarious as two couples' efforts to show how civilized they are and set an example for their animalistic children end up bringing out the savagery in everyone involved.
The intimacy of the Moyer Room at Youngstown Playhouse makes it feel as if the audience is in the living room with the couples as they start using words like a shiv as their ideals and relationships are threatened.
Reza's script is demanding; its success or failure rest on the strength of the cast and the actors' abilities to capture the idiosyncrasies of the individuals and their ability to work together as an ever-shifting unit as the on-stage battles go from couple vs. couple to men vs. women to spouse vs. spouse.
Director Johnny Pecano has assembled a talented one and keeps the action rooted in realism even as anger -- and alcohol -- help make the behavior more extreme.
Brandy Johanntges is a wicked delight as Veronica Novak, who organizes the meeting. She wears her education and her "civility" like a badge of honor, but her words and actions drip with condescension.
Her husband, Michael (Frank G. Martin), is a housewares wholesaler, and he brings his salesman persona home, trying to make everyone happy and find common ground. But every time he tries to agree with the Raleighs, his wife's veneer of congeniality starts to crack. Martin brings an appealing everyman quality to the role.
Alan Raleigh (James McClellan) can't even feign interest in this meeting and spends more time on the phone trying to manage damage control for a pharmaceutical client. McClellan brings a great smugness to Alan and creates a character that enjoys the fight, whether he's in the middle of it or instigating it between others.
Annette Raleigh (Holly Ceci) tries to take the meeting seriously, but Veronica's verbal jabs, her husband's ever-ringing cell phone and a stomach bug help to unleash her true feelings. And when the rum takes over, Ceci is at her funniest.
Pecano's direction emphasizes the humor in Reza's script without diminishing its dramatic impact. Some of the biggest laughs come from facial reactions that other characters can't see or other little bits of physical comedy that aren't on the page.
The Playhouse production is far more satisfying than the 2011 film version that featured four Oscar winners (director Roman Polanski and actors Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet and Christoph Waltz) and one Oscar nominee (John C. Reilly).
It's a small venue, and there only are two (now three) more performances. I wouldn't wait to make reservations.
"God of Carnage" will be staged at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Youngstown Playhouse, 600 Playhouse Lane, Youngstown. Tickets are $17 for adults and $14 for students and senior citizens. For reservations or more information, call 330-788-8739.

COLUMBIA, S.C. - Timmy Bowers hit a late 3-pointer to force overtime and Branden Vincent's foul shot with 53 seconds left in the extra session gave No. 6 Mississippi State the lead for good in a 79-75 victory over No. 25 South Carolina on Wednesday night.
The Bulldogs (20-1, 9-1 Southeastern Conference) looked finished with about 5 minutes to go, trailing 66-54 before a charged up crowd of 17,792 at the Colonial Center.
But they closed regulation with a 17-5 run, capped by Bowers' never-in-doubt 3-pointer from the right side of the key with 7.2 seconds left.
(1) Duke 93, Virginia 75: In Durham, N.C., J.J. Redick scored 25 points, and Shelden Williams had 19 points and 12 rebounds to lift No. 1 Duke past Virginia.

Tyrone Barley was 3-for-4 from 3-point range and had 14 points for the Hawks (21-0, 10-0 Atlantic 10).
(13) Cincinnati 80, South Florida 67: In Cincinnati, Tony Bobbitt scored a season-high 26 points, and No. 13 Cincinnati overcame another lackluster offensive performance for a victory over South Florida.
Bobbitt went 8-of-11 on 3-point attempts, including two during a late 12-point run that helped Cincinnati (17-3, 8-2 Conference USA) blow open a close game.
n (17) Wisconsin 54, Iowa 52: In Iowa City, Iowa, Devin Harris scored 16 points and No. 17 Wisconsin survived a late rally by Iowa to hold on to first place in the Big Ten with a victory.
Wisconsin (16-4, 7-2) had to fight off Iowa after the Hawkeyes, who trailed by 13 points early in the second half, got within two points on Glen Worley's 3-pointer with 43 seconds left.
Iowa (12-9, 5-5) had a chance to win it when Wisconsin's Zach Morley missed a jump hook with 10 seconds remaining.
(23) S. Illinois 96, Drake 76: In Carbondale, Ill., Freshman reserve Jamaal Tatum scored a career-high 19 points and No. 23 Southern Illinois pounded Drake.
The Salukis (19-2, 13-0 Missouri Valley Conference) had no problem justifying their first appearance in the Top 25 since 1976, displaying a dominating transition game to win their 11th straight.
Southern Illinois made a season-best 11 3-pointers.
SIU is off to the best start in conference play since Bradley was a perfect 16-0 in 1985-86.
(24) Providence 100, Villanova 74: In Villanova, Pa., Donnie McGrath scored 20 of his 23 points in the second half and No. 24 Providence handed Villanova its worst loss of the season.

11 Ways to Help Your Baby Deal with Separation AnxietyLauren Jimeson
There is nothing worse than having to leave your little one and seeing them upset that you are going away. Avery is just now hitting the stage of major separation anxiety. I leave a room for one second and it's like her world is coming to and end.
Separation anxiety is very common for babies and is a natural part of their development. I went through it with my oldest daughter, Harlan, about the same age as Avery is now. The only difficult part with Harlan was that I had to go to work everyday and leave her at daycare. Although she had been going to the daycare since she was 12 weeks old, it didn't make it any easier. Leaving her crying did not make for a pleasant drive to work.
Although I don't leave Avery as often, there are times when I do have to leave her with someone else. It's during those times that I carefully and strategically plan how to make the process easier on both of us. I don't want to leave her very upset only because it will make me feel horrible and guilty for leaving her and then we will both be unhappy.
Over the years of dealing with separation anxiety with both of my children, I have found things that have made the process easier on both baby and mom. Check out my tips below!
Set Up a Mock Situation 1 of 11Before actually leaving, set up a couple of mock situations of you leaving the house and go into another room. This way your little one will slowly get used to you leaving and returning.
Play Peek-a-boo 2 of 11This might sound silly but the game of peek-a-boo is actually really good in teaching your little one the concept of you going away and coming back. I used to do this with Harlan all the time before I had to leave her at daycare. You can start with peek-a-boo with your hands and then slowly move into going into another room to play and popping your head out. This helps them to see that you are gone, but that you are soon returning.
Leave the Baby with Someone They Are Familiar With 3 of 11As you are gradually separating from your little one, it's important to leave them with someone they are familiar with. I try to use the same babysitter or a family member so that Avery is used to seeing the person all of the time.
Be Consistent in Your Goodbye Routine 4 of 11It's so important to be consistent in your routine as you leave. This helps your little one learn what to expect when you are going. If you leave the same way all the time, they know that you will soon return.
Give the Baby Time to Adjust Before Leaving 5 of 11Once your sitter gets to your house, give your little one time to adjust before leaving. You don't want to rush out the door right away, but you also don't want to prolong your departure. Try to find a time that you feel is right to leave.
Leave a Toy or Lovey For Comfor 6 of 11Leave a comfort item for them when you are gone. That way if they do get upset, they can hug and cuddle with their lovey until you return. It helps bring a sense of security to your little one.
Always Say Goodbye 7 of 11It's always important to say goodbye to your little one no matter what. I used to think that sneaking away without setting up the fact that I was leaving was the way to go, but then I soon felt like I was just abandoning my children. I always make sure to say goodbye to both of my girls before I leave so that they know I am leaving and that I will return.
Always Smile as You are Leaving 8 of 11Letting your baby know that you are happy when you leave sets a tone with them. It helps to know that you have a positive attitude about leaving and hopefully your good vibes will rub off on your little one.
Get the Baby Distracted Before You Leave 9 of 11Once you have said goodbye, have your babysitter engage with your little one to keep them distracted while you are getting out of the door. This gets them engaged and fixated on something other than you leaving them.
Don't Stress 10 of 11It's hard to leave your little one. Especially when they are upset. Don't stress out over leaving them. Your baby will pick up on that stress and will become stressed themselves. Trust the person you are leaving them with and have a good time while you are out.
Always Return with Celebration 11 of 11The sweet time when you are finally reunited with your baby is so special. Return with big hugs and kisses so that they know just how much you love them and that you are back for them.

Eliminating the 'ums' and 'uhhs' from your speech
Mon 01 August 2011
, Brad Phillips, LEAP
Brad Philips, author of the Mr. Media Training Blog and the president of Phillips Media Relations, has a funny and easy trick that will help you eliminate the uhms and uhhs from your speech. And if you need a few seconds think don't fill them with "you know" or "like…uhhh", just let it be a silent pause.
Brad Philips blogs: I began my media career as a small-town radio DJ.
My program director was concerned that I uttered too many "uhhhs" and "umms" on the air. (Oddly, he was unconcerned with his playlist, which included Michael Bolton, Debbie Boone, and The Captain and Tennille.)
He taught me a technique that helped me find a smooth radio delivery, and it's a strategy that works for media spokespersons who use a few too many "uhhhs" and "ums" during their interviews.
Here's how it works. Look around the room, and find an object. Don't think about it. Just find an object, and shout it out. ("Printer!") Now begin speaking about that object for 30 seconds. Time it. You're not allowed to use "uhhhs" or "ummms," but you are allowed to briefly pause between sentences. Don't worry too much about the words you choose—just let them flow. My 30-second drill about the printer looked like this:
"I like my printer. I've had it for about two years, and it's been pretty maintenance-free, which I really appreciate as someone who runs his own business. It sits on the corner of my desk in my office in New York City. The best part of my office is the view of the Chrysler Building. It's pretty cool to sit, especially in the winter, and see a Manhattan icon out my office window."
You can practice this anywhere—in your car ("ashtray!"), in your shower ("dandruff shampoo!"), and your office ("burnt popcorn smell!"). The key is to surprise yourself with the object, speak aloud for 30 seconds, and replace articulated pauses with silent ones.
Our clients typically think they've gotten through the drill with no verbal filler, but the audio replay shows they had two "likes" and a "ya' know." So use a tape recorder or your iPhone's Voice Memos (or BlackBerry's Voicenote) feature to record yourself and ensure the verbal filler is really gone.
You may not master this skill right away; it takes time, practice, and patience. But, I promise you if you stay with it, your delivery will be as smooth as mine was when introducing Lionel Richie ballads back in the day.
You can read another tip to help kill the "uhhhs" and "ummms" on the Mr. Media Training Blog.

Question: About a month ago, I took advantage of a Travelocity e-mail fare alert for a flight from Minneapolis to Costa Rica. The deal seemed too good to be true: $230 round-trip on US Airways.
I booked the flight for my September honeymoon and then went to a website and bid on our accommodations, which I also booked.
A few days ago, US Airways notified me that it had dropped a connecting flight to Costa Rica, and that our only option was a full refund.

You could be skeptical about the offerings of help or advice from others today, which could be due to your hesitation to trust people. Perhaps you have experienced problems in the past with people acting one way toward you but saying something else when you weren't around. Even though caution is healthy, it is important to learn how to trust others in order to create a healthy work or living environment. Being able to trust yourself can help you gain your trust in others. By tapping into the guidance of your intuition, you may find it easier to feel when you know when you should open up to others and when you should be more wary. If you pay attention to the body sensations you get throughout the day, you should be able to sense who you should trust.
The more we trust our intuition, the more able we are to trust others when appropriate. Our skepticism of others is most often the result of our feeling that something is not right. Feeling this way is healthy when it is based on the body sensations or gut feelings of our instinct. It is important to be cautious, however, about being too mistrustful of others because that could lead to problems in our relationships and a general wariness about the people around us. By being able to trust yourself and your inner voice today, you will be able to more easily establish faith in what others have to offer you.

Dell Curry was Tech's star during their greatest four year run in school history. And all he did after that was go on to score over 12,000 points in the NBA over 16 seasons, making him the greatest Hokie ever in the NBA, too. His jersey is still sold in the bookstore.
But forget the NBA, Curry was an absolute star at Virginia Tech. He was easily the greatest shooter in the history of the program. Once he stepped inside half court, he was in range. His 2389 points ranks second on the all time list, just 95 points behind Bimbo Coles. Keep this in mind, though – there was no three-point line when Dell played. He only played in a couple of games that included a three-point line as the NCAA experimented with the rule. If memory serves me correctly, Dell hit just four three-pointers in his limited experience with the experimental line. Anyone that ever saw him play would tell you many of his 1021 field goals were behind the current three-point line (heck, behind the NBA line). Dell would easily be #1 on the VT scoring list had there been a three-point field goal (Curry hit over 1,200 three-pointers in his NBA ceareer).
Dell wasn't all gun though on offense. He was also a great passer. Dell completed his career averaging 3.2 assists per game. In fact, Coach Moir felt Dell didn't shoot enough at times. Curry worked to get his talented teammates like Perry and Al Young, and Bobby Beecher involved.
Dell also sits atop the steals list. While he certainly wasn't a great defender, and wasn't asked to put out a lot of effort on defense, he had quick hands that could create turnovers. He was allowed to gamble on defense. Curry's 89 steals as a sophomore stood as the VT single season record until Jamon Gordon broke it in 2007. Dell added 80 blocked shots with those long arms for good measure.
If Dell's basketball exploits weren't enough, Curry also went 6-1 with a 3.81 ERA after his junior year for the Hokie baseball team. Dell was a star pitcher with pro potential and a 90+ fastball coming out of high school. He was unable to play his first two years, but was a star on the bump for the Hokies in 1985. This led to the Baltimore Orioles taking Dell in the 14th Round. But Dell stuck with basketball.
While Dell was certainly no slouch his first three years, averaging 14.5, 19.3, and 18.2 ppg, it all came together his senior year. Dell averaged 24.1 points per game (6th best ever by a Hokie for a season) and led the team in assists and steals with 113 and 79 respectively. That led to Curry being named a Second Team AP All-American, and a First Team member by Basketball News.
Curry had his jersey and #30 retired on March 1, 1986 before his final home game in the Cassell. He was the first Hokie to be so honored.
GREATEST GAME: #16 VT 76, #2 memphis state 72 – Feb. 1, 1986
In one of the most odd scheduling botches ever, the Hokies had to play the undefeated #2 memphis state tigers twice in the same week. After getting bombarded in Memphis on Monday 83-61, Tech didn't have to wait long for another crack. The Hokies trailed 46-35 at the half, but Dell's 28 points (10/19 shooting) and 9 rebounds helped lead Tech to the upset, giving memphis state their first loss of the season in 21 games, and costing the tigers the #1 spot in the polls (#1 unc had lost earlier that week). It is remembered as one of the most intense and lively games in the history of the Cassell. Dell stated in an article in 2007 that this game was the highlight of his career.
TEAM RECORD: 87-42 (32-19 in the Metro)
The Metro Conference was a great basketball conference in the early to mid 1980s. Five of the eight teams that were in it back then are now in BCS conferences (VT, south carolina, florida state, cincinnati, and louisville). Three Metro teams made the Final Four while Dell Curry was at Tech – louisville twice, including winning the 1986 National Championship, and memphis state in 1985, though they later vacated that appearance due to an ineligible player (one of two times the now memphis tigers have vacated Final Four appearances). memphis state was a top 5 team in three of those four years.
And the Hokies were no slouch during this time. Tech won at least 20 games each of Dell's four years. They made the NIT his first two seasons, reaching the semi-finals at Madison Square Garden in 1984 before losing to michigan by three. In Dell's last two years, Tech made the ncaa tournament as an at-large team, but lost in the first round both times.
The 87 wins is still a record at VT over a four year span, equaled by the recently departed senior class. But Dell's Hokie team accomplished that feat with just 42 losses, while the recent Hokies had 50.
The Hokies could play with anyone in the country back then. Dell's freshman year Tech knocked off #1 memphis state at the Cassell 69-56, then took down the #2 tigers three years later in the game mentioned above.
VT knocked off perennial power louisville three times while Dell was at Tech. The Hokies were consistently ranked his senior season, reaching as high as #15 in the polls.
These Hokie teams, with Perry Young (5th on the scoring list and 10th in rebounds and assists), Bobby Beecher (Metro Freshman of the Year in 1983, 9th in rebounds, and 3rd in blocks), Al Young (6th in steals), and Roy Brow (#1 in blocks), could easily stake claim to the title of greatest Hokie era ever. They may not have put together the greatest season ever at VT, but over Dell's years the team was always a team that could contend with anyone.
When you think of Virginia Tech basketball, you think of Dell Curry. Even today his name is synonymous with Hokie basketball. It doesn't hurt that his sons have become stars, although it has been painful to some that it has been at places other than Blacksburg.
Dell did not put VT on the map. Tech was already a pretty good basketball school back then and had been to the ncaa tournament in 1979 and 1980 under Dale Solomon. But Curry took Tech to another level. He was a McDonald's All-American, Tech's first and still only such player. Dell was a First Round NBA Draft Pick who had a distinguished NBA career. Curry was, and still is, the greatest star Tech has ever seen.
Curry was a leader, too. His teammates loved him and followed him. They gave everything they had for Dell. Dell was a great shooter, great leader, and wears the crown as the Greatest Virginia Tech Player of All Time.

SHEPHERDSTOWN - They came from different decades, from different avenues, but they are Hall of Famers nonetheless.
Four new members were inducted into the 27th Annual Shepherd University Athletic Hall of Fame Banquet and Induction Ceremony Friday night at the Clarion Hotel.
Among those was Shepherdstown native and later Martinsburg head baseball coach Vic Holmes.

Holmes was a standout in both baseball and basketball at Shepherd.
The 1974 graduate was a two-time all-conference performer in basketball and helped the Rams to a pair of 20-win seasons.
Now a color commentator for Rams football and basketball, Holmes was the leading hitter on the Shepherd baseball team three of his four seasons. He also compiled a 9-0 record as a pitcher.
A former Martinsburg basketball and baseball coach, Holmes led the Bulldogs to three state baseball titles.
"I am truly humbled to be here," Holmes said. "I often look at my time at Shepherd as four of the best years of my life."
He also thanked his family and friends, including his mother, of whom he said, "thought I could do no wrong."
That drew cheers and acknowledgments from the several tables of Holmes supporters who were in attendance.
Joe Reel was a four-year starter for the Rams on the defensive line from 1967-71.
He helped the Rams to a 7-1-2 record his senior year, and the Rams' captain was scouted by several NFL teams.
Reel was an NAIA All-American and went to to play for the British Columbia Lions of the Canadian Football League.
Reel said he had the opportunity to play for two great coaches during his time at Shepherd, Roger Parker and Walter Barr.
"Coach Parker took over a program and before he was done, he had us beating teams that had previously thumped us," Reel said.
That all came to a high point when Barr took over and the Rams went 7-1-2.
Jodie Runner came to Shepherd and established a solid women's basketball program, including a record-setting 24-7 record in 2008.
When she came to Shepherd, Runner was better known as a player at West Virginia University, where she was a member of the first WVU women's team to advance to the Sweet 16.
It was during that time that she decided to be a head coach.
"We had a lot of success, but there was not a good atmosphere," Runner said. "I became a coach to make a difference. I didn't think you have to tear down a player to have a successful program."
She also thanked two people in particular.
"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Betsy Blose, who took a chance and hired me as an assistant coach," Runner said. "And then (then-Athletic director) Monte Cater, who took a chance and hired me as the head coach in 2002."
Runner was the West Virginia Conference coach of the year in 2009 and helped coach the Rams to a pair of conference championships, the 2008 team advancing to the Eastern Regional title game.
Over seven years as the Rams' coach, she was 116-87.
Greg Stup had success in all four years as a Rams defensive lineman, finishing his career with 13 sacks for a team that finished 7-3. He was the WVC Defensive Player of the Year in 2006.
He played on a pair of WVC championship teams during his career and had 33.5 career sacks, still a school record. In fact, Stup led the team in sacks in each of his four seasons.
Among the coaches he played for was Jeff Casteel, who went on to have success as the defensive coordinator at WVU and is now at Arizona.
"I want to thank coach Casteel for sticking with me at defensive tackle," Stup said. "I'm still not sure how many explicatives he threw at me during that time, but I'm sure there aren't enough fingers in this room to count them all."
Paul "Soupy" Hillyard, a longtime member of the of the Shepherd Hall of Fame Committee and 1997 Hall of Fame inductee, was honored as the 2012 Shepherd University Hall of Fame medalist recipient.

Barbra Streisand is counted among Hollywood's royalty – but the singer is opening up about her humble beginnings.
"We never had a couch. We never had a living room," the singer/actress, who grew up living in a Brooklyn housing project, says in an interview set to air on CBS's Early Show Tuesday.
"We only had a dining room and then my grandmother and grandfather lived in one bedroom. My mother, my brother and I slept in another bedroom … Now, I love couches," says the star.
Another thing she lived without: "You know, I never had a doll – I had a hot water bottle," says Streisand.
As for how she made it from Brooklyn to Hollywood success, she says it was a hard road where she didn't have much encouragement from her family.
When she told her mother she wanted to be an actress, Streisand, 66, says her mother told her, "'You'll never make it. You're not pretty enough. You're not this enough."
Still, the singer says, "I owe her a lot because, in a sense, I was proving to my mother that this skinny, little girl, you know, unconventional looking, I suppose, could be a movie star."
Barbra Streisand Didn't Have a Doll, Couch Growing Up

Too often in life, we don't miss thing something until it's gone. That vary theme came to life Sunday afternoon in the Jaguars' loss to the Oakland Raiders.
In the first half of today's game, Blaine Gabbert was hit on a play in which the Raiders were offsides. The hit would eventually result in Blaine Gabbert leaving the game with a shoulder injury, and it led to the undoing of the Jaguars.
Blaine Gabbert left the game after going 8 of 12 passing with 110 yards and a touchdown. In short, he looked sharp and on top of the offense.
Then Chad Henne entered the game.
While it's impossible to blame the outcome entirely on Henne, it seems apparent that the Jaguars would have won comfortably had Gabbert stayed in the game.
Henne finished the game, completing 9 of his 20 attempts for 71 yards, but most of those yards came late in the game as the Jaguars tried to push into Josh Scobee's field goal range for a game-winning attempt.
For those of you that missed the game, I'm sorry that I can't paint a word picture of how big of a difference there was between the Jaguars offense with Gabbert and with Henne, but it was ugly.
If you're looking for a silver lining, consider this. Blaine Gabbert's job security is suddenly much better after Henne's performance.

INWOOD - The Musselman Applemen boys haven't experienced a whole lot of success on the soccer field this season.
Though the Applemen tied the Hedgesville Eagles1-1 Tuesday night, Musselman could take away plenty of positives -especially because the Applemen dropped a 6-1 Eastern Panhandle Athletic Conference game earlier to the Eagles.
"I think we really played simple ball for once," said assistant coach Randy Brock, who ran the team in place of head coach Gino Marchese. "All the players on the roster stepped up and played. We won the ball out of the air. That's the first time this team has ever done this.
"It's a positive, and the kids are really working hard. And they have been."
The Applemen (1-10-2) could've faded when Sebeey Chi of Hedgesville drilled a shot into the far left corner from 25 yards out after taking a cross from Jesse Sabol with 10 seconds left in the first half.
It appeared to be a turning point in a game missing crisp passing on many combinations.
Using the momentum of the late goal, the Eagles were crisper in their passing game to start the second half.
That aspect of Hedgesville's game went away quickly when Cameron Daiss scored a goal off a throw-in combination with Zachary Alvarez four minutes into the second half.
Daiss touched the ball back to Alvarez, who then fed Daiss running toward the goal. After accepting the ball for a second time, Daiss popped a shot into the top corner of the net.
"We try to have the best of everything," Daiss said. "Win of lose, we try to make the best of it."
Hedgesville coach Wes Cole didn't think his team was at its best.
"We played with no purpose and no heart," Cole said. "And they played with a lot of it.
"We didn't look to pass the ball and looked to just clear it up the field, which is not how we should be playing."
The Eagles almost cashed in one long ball, though, when Jordan Aikens led Chi with a long diagonal pass, putting him in good position to score with nine minutes left.
Musselman goalkeeper Michael Martin rose up, though, snagged Chi's shot and fell on his back to keep the teams tied.
Hedgesville outshot Musselman 7-6.

This is a nice and easy design! I would suggest pressing a copper or brass tube into the plastic for the rudder pin to pivot in to save wear on the plastic, as the plastic is very hard to repair.
A simpler steering design might be to simply create a sort of large half loop of PVC that puts a tiller bar in front of you with enough side clearance to turn in the direction that brings the longitudinal piece closer.
Sorry for the perfectly horrible drawing I attached - just wanted to illustrate this idea quickly here at work.

During the dark days of the U.S. Department of Justice's antitrust investigation against Microsoft in 2000, tone-deaf forces within Microsoft's corporate marketing organization apparently thought it would be helpful to put the company's founder and chairman, Bill Gates, on the airwaves to speak directly to the American people.
The resulting "fireside chat" TV commercial, featuring Gates wearing a blue sweater and seated at a table while an acoustic guitar played, was meant to soften the prevailing image of Microsoft as a monopolistic bully. In what some would call a cringe-worthy statement, Gates says at one point: "We've been writing great software for the past 25 years."
Anyhow, few people remember the ad. Much more memorable was the Internet meme a few years later that envisioned Gates as a Borg, declaring, "Resistance is futile."

There is no such thing as a Wii HD, unless you buy a Component Cable and it will allow you to view it at 480p
Which is still considered ED not HD.

Author(s): Gartside SE, Cowen PJ
Abstract: Serotonin has a facilitatory role in the role of prolactin and adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) secretion. The serotonin precursor 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan (5-HTP) dose dependently (30-100 mg/kg i.p.) increased plasma prolactin and ACTH in the male rat. Prolactin and ACTH responses to 5-HTP (100 mg/kg) were attenuated by pretreatment with the non-selective 5-HT receptor antagonist, metergoline (0.5 mg/kg), and by the selective 5-HT2 receptor antagonists, ritanserin (0.4 mg/kg), ketanserin (2.5 mg/kg), ICI (5.0 mg/kg) and spiperone (1.0 mg/kg). The 5-HT1 receptor antagonists, propranolol (40 mg/kg) and pindolol (4.0 mg/kg), failed to antagonize the prolactin and ACTH responses to 5-HTP (100 mg/kg), as did the selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, BRL 43694 (1.0 mg/kg). The results suggest that the prolactin and ACTH responses to 5-HTP in the male rat are mediated by 5-HT2 receptors.

Baroness Neuberger: Allow gay marriage in synagogue
By Simon Rocker, January 28, 2010
Baroness Neuberger, president of Liberal Judaism, this week called for a change in the law to allow civil partnership ceremonies for same-sex couples to be held in synagogue.
The ceremonies, introduced by the government four years ago, cannot take place in a house of worship or use religious language as they are considered the equivalent to civil marriage.
In a Lords debate on the Equality Bill on Monday, Baroness Neuberger said that she had been told by couples that they and their parents would have been "overjoyed" if they had been able to have the ceremony in a synagogue.

Next game: West Michigan (Luke Putkonen 1-0, 1.57) vs. Clinton (Brett Loren 2-0, 1.24), 6:30 p.m. Friday at Fifth Third Ballpark.
Radio: WBBL-AM (1340), WODJ-AM (1490), WHTC-AM (1450), WDEE-FM (97.3)
COMSTOCK PARK -- Chao-Ting Tang might still be learning the nuances of baseball in this country, but there is one thing he undoubtedly knows.
When struggling, move on to a different plan.
In the case of the West Michigan Whitecaps' 2-0 win against the Beloit Snappers on Thursday at Fifth Third Ballpark, it was as simple as a well-timed sixth-inning bunt and a subsequent Beloit error that broke open a scoreless game.
Batting just .189 entering the game, Tang dropped a bunt in front of Beloit third baseman Dominic DeLaOsa, who picked up the ball and fired it down the right field line to allow Tang to advance to third base.
He eventually scored on a bloop single by Gustavo Nunez, who also drove in an eighth-inning run with another single.
With the Whitecaps managing only two hits in the first five innings and Tang struggling to hit .200, he opted for the bunt.
"The first couple innings we weren't hitting and I saw the third baseman wasn't paying attention and we needed to get someone on," Tang said. "So I bunted. No one was expecting it."
The bunt by Tang and another in the same inning by Ben Guez were not called from the dugout, Whitecaps' manager Joe DePastino said.
"They've been struggling, and that's just smart baseball," DePastino said. "If you're not swinging the bat and feeling good, that's a good way to go.
"It was smart on both their parts. The guys that use their heads are the ones that move up and go places. What they did was perfect."
Whitecaps starter Casey Crosby struck out seven and walked three in five shutout innings. He was relieved in the sixth by Tyler Conn, who picked up the win after pitching 1 2/3 innings of scoreless ball.
Despite the Snappers' Midwest League-worst 5.64 ERA, the Whitecaps managed just eight runs in the three-game series, but still managed to win two games.
"Tang was trying to get something going and his bunt gave us a spark," Guez said. "Then, Nunez got the big hit. It was a win-win situation for us either way."

While we would obviously feel better had these details come directly from Google, it does appear as if multi-user support is coming to Android. In fact, after reading through the evidence that was broken down by the folks at Android Police, it seems that it is more a matter of when as opposed to if. But while we feel confident that this is at least something that Google is working on, nothing is official until it happens. That being said, if you are simply hoping that this feature arrives for Android users — sit back and wait. If you are in the category where you need to see the evidence — you should follow the via link at the bottom of this post and get to reading. Well, that or fire up your read later app and set this for reading when you have proper time to devote. Just to give an idea of what you will be looking at, Android Police has details going all the way back to April of 2011 and have stated that in their "very-much-non-expert-opinion" — lock screens, installed applications, running applications, application data, default applications, home screen widgets, accounts, syncing, and language have all been separated for multiple user accounts. Sounds good, and for me — this means I will finally be able to set an account just for the kids.

Mercyhurst Prep, McDowell win District 10 girls tennis team titles
The numbers might say otherwise, but Mercyhurst Prep girls tennis coach Kelly Maslar said there was nothing easy about the Lakers' 5-0 victory over Grove City Thursday -- a win that locked up her team's 13th consecutive District 10 Class AA team championship.
"Nothing's ever routine," Maslar said of the shutout at the Pennbriar Athletic Club. "Especially with girls."
While Mercyhurst Prep was continuing its roll at the Class AA level, McDowell was doing the same in Class AAA.
The Trojans, led by No. 1 singles player Adrianna Jeffress, blitzed Central Tech 5-0 for its ninth straight District 10 team title.
Mercyhurst Prep lost only six games overall in its five matches, with Nos. 1 and 3 singles Katie Elia and Caitlyn Schultz claiming 6-0, 6-0 victories along with both doubles tandems in Chelsea Czerwinski-Emily Kulesza and Taylor Levinson-Nicole Freeman.
The win vaults Mercyhurst Prep into the first round of PIAA play at 1 p.m. Tuesday at Pennbriar. The Lakers will take on the No. 3 representative from District 7, which will be either South Park or Ellis.
McDowell will take on the No. 1 representative from District 7 at 1 p.m. Tuesday at North Allegheny High School.
Mercyhurst Prep will be looking to return to Hershey, where the Lakers fell last year to perennial power Harriton 3-2 in the final eight.
Five players from this year's Lakers' team -- Elia, No. 2 singles Brittany McBride, the No. 1 doubles tandem of Czerwinski and Kulesza and No. 2 doubles player Levinson -- all played in last year's state team tournament.
"We're looking to get back to Hershey," Maslar said, "but we're not going to look past our first match Tuesday at Pennbriar."
Likewise, the Lakers didn't take Grove City lightly Thursday.
"We have to take everything seriously," Maslar said. "We train hard and we prepare hard. We don't underestimate anyone. And if we focus on our performance, we get the results we deserve."
Mercyhurst Prep used strong performances across the board, but Maslar was particularly pleased with the play of Elia.
"She went from No. 3 singles the last two years to No. 1 this year and she's been struggling a bit with that transition," Maslar said. "But I saw a big difference today. She didn't give up a game and I was very impressed with her performance."
For McDowell, Jeffress was joined in the winners' circle by her singles companions Larissa Chen and Rachel Dougherty and both doubles pairs -- Diane Lee-Lita Zhang and Jackie Naud-Elise Heinlein.
Dougherty lost three games at No. 3 singles -- the only one of McDowell's three singles players to drop a game.
Jeffress saluted the play of her teammates and particularly the No. 2 doubles tandem Naud and Heinlein, who outlasted Central Tech's Maddie Edara and Abby Adams 6-2, 5-7, 6-2.
"They've had trouble winning matches this season because they're kind of beginners," she said. "But they won the third set and the match, so we were proud of them for that."

Nomination of CIA
director a concern
To the editor:
As more details of the DOJ Whitepaper come to light, the memo in regards the legality of drone strikes against American citizens, the little publicized nomination of John Brennan to be CIA director has become a major issue worthy of concern among citizens.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has taken a stand against this encroachment of Constitutional rights, along with five other senators, including Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR). At the time this letter is being written, Senator Paul is filibustering the nomination of Mr. Brennan, to proclaim his disagreement with the Obama Administration's position that drone assassinations of American citizens, while on American soil are legal.
Our Constitution requires that no citizen can be "deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law." Does the Presidential oath of office state that the President is to "preserve, protect, and defend the constitution as long as it is convenient"?
No, the Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land and does not allow for exceptions to broaden the power of the government to ignore our basic rights to kill American citizens without due process. Where does this end, what if, in five, or 10, or 20 years, an American President decides that all of his political enemies are potential 'threats?' Will the United States become a police state where citizens are assassinated at the whim of the government?
No President or bureaucrat, regardless of party, can ignore our fundamental rights and kill an American citizen without the Constitutionally mandated due process of law guaranteed under the Fifth amendment. The Constitution was written to protect citizens from government. The Eighth Amendment also protects us from "cruel and unusual punishments."
The Supreme Court ruled in Kennedy vs. Louisiana that the death penalty for tried and convicted child rapists is in violation of the Eighth Amendment. Does not that protection apply to the assassination of an American citizen via drone on the mere suspicion of terrorism? If the court would consider something of that order to be "cruel and unusual punishment," one would think that they would surely consider a policy as egregious as this to be in violation of the Eighth Amendment.
I believe so, and I believe that most of my fellow Americans do as well. This policy is in violation of at least two amendments of the Constitution, and thus I applaud Senator Paul for his courage on this issue.
Trumbull Mahoning Columbiana Teenage
Cant' wait until later
to solve nation's problems
To the editor:
Is it ever going to end? The continuous bickering about how to fix our sick economy. After years of doing absolutely nothing they now propose more taxes and practically no spending cuts.
Will those who would advocate higher taxes ever acknowledge that history has proven higher taxes increases the cost of companies doing business, reduces the chances of expansion and the creation of new jobs? Excessive taxes will also reduce needed money from productive circulation.
Why is it that neither party seems to ignore the choking hold the national debt has on our very existence? Could it be they can't see the forest because of the trees?
We must make the necessary cuts and adjustments now, not two or three, five years down the road. We have been passing on this ever growing monster for far too many years and too many administrations. In order to arrive at a stabilized economy the people in Washington must first achieve a balanced budget and they cannot do this until we stop spending more money than they're taking in. Without a balanced budget we will continue to flounder until swallowed up by our complacency and the worthless dollar.
I am sure those people in Washington know what has to be done to start the economy back on the right track. Could it be that they are afraid of antagonizing their constituents because of the necessary and possible painful cuts?
It might help some if our wondering President would leave Air Force 1 on the ground for a while and spend some time in the White House where he might try his hand at leading.
Why do the words "Fundamental Transformation" keep popping up in my head? Are we being sold down the river by a President who desires is to impose his leftist ideology on all the people? His lack of interest in solving the problems that are tearing at our economy is unexplainable and down right scary.
Sequester is Obama's
and Obama's alone
To the editor:
On February 25th, Barack Obama said, "But at some point, we've got to do some governing. And certainly what we can't do is keep careening from manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis."
I concur. Let us look at what the politicians and media have proclaimed the most recent national crisis and how it came about.
The Sequester was conceived by the Obama administration. Investigative journalist Bob Woodward, of Watergate fame, writes: the White House has been deliberately disingenuous about its role in the Sequester. The automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of then Obama Chief-of-Staff (now Secretary of the Treasury) Jack Lew. Nothing conceived by the Whitehouse staff is promulgated without the blessing of Barack Obama. Thus, the Sequester is Obama's and Obama's alone.
So, since Obama owns the Sequester, why would he hype it as a disaster in the making? Obama said, "Severe budget cuts have already started to inflict pain on communities across the country Thousands of Americans who serve their country: border patrol agents, FBI agents, federal prosecutors will lose their jobs We will have let criminals go ... Air traffic controllers, airport security, thousands of teachers and educators will be laid off The longer these cuts remain in place, the greater the damage People will lose their jobs, the unemployment rate might tick up againTens of thousands of parents will have to scramble to find child care for their kids." The sky is falling and it is the Sequester.
Even if the Sequester is implemented to its fullest extent, the federal government will spend more in 2013 than it did in 2012. Let me repeat, the federal government will spend more in 2013 than it did in 2012. According to the United States Office of Management and Budget, in 2012 the federal government spent 3.538 trillion dollars. The 2013 budget is for 3.803 trillion dollars. That is a difference of 265 billion dollars. The Sequester is only 85 billion dollars. Thus, the federal government will still spend 180 billion dollars more in 2013 than 2012. If the federal government was able to provide all those jobs and services in 2012 in an economic environment where, if you believe the Bureau of Labor Statistics we are experiencing negligible inflation, why can it not provide those same services in 2013 with a 5 percent INCREASE in spending?
In a January 2013 poll, 83 percent of American voters think government spending is out of control. This year the Federal Government is planning to spend 901 billion dollars more than it receives. The 85 billion dollar Sequester is a mere 9 percent of the 2013 budget deficit. We are not talking about balancing the federal budget like families and businesses are expected and required to do to conduct their affairs, the government will still borrow 816 billion dollars to feed their spending addiction. If we as a country cannot agree to this meager cut, we are doomed to bankruptcy like past civilizations that spent their way into oblivion.
So the question remains, why is Obama manufacturing this crisis in the first place? It casts a shadow on Obama as this is his program. There must be a reason, an upside, to demagoging this issue.
Obama is in a position to channel the cuts into the least offensive areas of the federal government. Instead, he is proposing to do the exact opposite. Like a spoiled little kid who didn't get his way, he is set to make these cuts as painful to the American people as possible. Make the lines at the airport intolerable, make the southern border less secure than it already is, layoff the most visible of government employees even though they have as much money in their budgets as last year to keep the status quo. He wants the American people to suffer to maximize the impact. Why?
March 1st I was listening to an Obama speech and the answer to the above question hit me like a bus. Obama said, "So every time that we get a piece of economic news over the next month, next two months, next six months, as long as the Sequester is in place, we'll know that that economic news could have been better if Congress had not failed to act."
He is willing to weather the short term heat of owning the Sequester, which he knows the media will sweep under the rug, to lay the groundwork for an excuse that he can use for the next four years to explain away his disastrous economic policies.
Our struggling economy is the President's own creation. His income and payroll tax hikes not to mention Obamacare taxes will take $150 billion out of the economy this year alone. You cannot remove $150 billion from the private sector without real consequences. It means less money for your boss to give you a raise and maintain your benefits. It comes out of your pocket by way of higher prices. It comes out of investment capital that creates wealth and jobs. As Milton Friedman stated, "No one spends other people's money as carefully as they spend their own." The government wastes billions of taxpayer dollars that could be better utilized in the private sector to improve our standard of living. Every dollar we give to the government is a dollar they potentially squander on ridiculous programs. If you don't believe me, how about the 5.2 million dollar research grant given to Princeton University to determine whether fish can teach us how to achieve democratic consensus? There are thousands of programs just like this that could be cut without any perceivable impact on the America people but Obama refuses to do this.
Obama is creating an excuse to explain away the economic havoc his policies have rained upon us. It is the Sequester, it is the Republicans, it isn't his fault. The finger-pointer- in-chief strikes again.

Silver Lake Farms
- Location: Silver Lake, CA
- Website: silverlakefarms.com
Every Saturday morning, just one block away from our apartment, the small but vibrant Silver Lake farmers market opens from 8am-1pm, offering a selection of produce, coffee, baked items, clothing and housewares. A fairly recent addition has become a favourite stop during our weekend shopping: the Silver Lake Farms flower stand. We've been trying to buy as much locally produced products and produce the last year or so, and since we love brightening the home with fresh cut flowers, the Silver Lake Farms perfectly fits the bill for our floral needs.
The privately operated farm aims to offer sustainable-grown flowers, fruits and vegetables, all within a five mile radius, all flowers harvested the very morning of the market. Founder Tara Kolla will happily handpick your bouquet arrangement with friendly care at the Echo Park, Silver Lake, Atwater Village and Los Angeles Arts Districts farmers markets (times listed here). Be sure to get to her stand quickly...her flowers often sell out, and we've gone home a few times sadly empty handed.
Silver Lake Farms offers additional floral design services for center pieces, bouquets and floral accents designed for special occasions, events, weddings, film sets and photo shoots. Flower arrangements can be delivered weekly to businesses. Tara offers a local Organic Gardening workshop. Unfortunately, the workshop is already full, but you can join her mailing list to learn more about future workshops to get your own hands into organic gardening!

Shame seen in mall episode of women breast feeding
Whatever happened to shame and dignity? When I read in the Journal that the mall manager had apologized to a group of nursing mothers who chose to go out in public to nurse their babies, I thought of my mom and what a private thing that was to her.
I wondered, what is next? Will we have people who want to go to the mall to have sex and will we just accept that as being OK? You might think I am in left field with this thought but did you ever think women would be going to the mall for the purpose of nursing their babies? I sure did not.
I just didn't get the purpose. I was embarrassed that it was done. I was embarrassed that the mall manager felt the need to apologize. I believe when those babies grow up and hear about it they will be embarrassed, too.
Nadine Ball
Oxford school honoree further praised for work
I am writing in response to the July 23 article regarding Oxford School District's Citizen of the Year. I would also like to commend Mr. Dunbar on this accomplishment as well as his compassion and desire to make a difference.
Mr. Dunbar recognizes that a child with uncorrected vision has a difficult time learning and excelling in school. Good vision is vitally important to a strong education and with the majority of learning coming from your eyes, it's obvious that there is no substitute for a comprehensive eye exam for the pre-kindergarten through first grade age.
As an optometrist, I see first hand the results of undetected eye problems that if caught early, would have been treatable but now are uncorrectable. Not to mention what the individual has had to overcome just to learn. I also get to experience the joy of helping a child read without squinting and helping them achieve clear vision. I applaud Dunbar's "vision" for these students who will now be able to see clearly and learn due to his commitment.
Eric D. Randle, O.D.

Obama's a fake who's costing nation plenty
How long will it take the American people to realize what a fake president we have?
Five years into his presidency he has done nothing but force on us an expensive and useless health care bill that is sure to break this country. How can anyone still believe in a man who stands behind an American flag and blatantly lies to them almost daily?
The president recently said he had added 7.3 million new jobs after he took office. Where are they – in government?
The president recently called the scandals that are going on in Washington "phony" scandals.
I'm sorry, but I don't consider the death of four Americans in Libya phony.
I don't believe the IRS and the NSA prying into my private life is phony.
I don't think the Attorney General of the United States, caught lying and being held in contempt of Congress, is something to be taken lightly.
And I certainly believe it is not in our best interest to supply weapons to Mexican drug lords and rogue Muslim countries to be most certainly turned and used on us.
Unless the core of the American people stand up and be heard soon, this nation is history.
A country's leadership is only a reflection of the morality of its people.

Spring Break Trips 2015
The Office of Clinical and Pro Bono Programs offers students the opportunity to conduct pro bono work during spring break through organized group trips with host organization. Trips outside of the Boston area are focused on issues or work that is unique to that local area. This year trips can run March 14-22, 2015.
There is a limited amount of funding available for student travel. Students may need to contribute to airfare or other transportation costs depending on final numbers of student participants. It is anticipated that there will be more applications than available slots.
Spring Break Trips 2015
Information Session – PowerPoint Presentation
- The deadline for submitting applications is Monday, January 12, 2015.
Completed forms may also be printed and returned to WCC clinical wing 3085. You must upload a resume.
- Decisions will be announced by Monday, January 19 and selected students must commit by making airfare reservations soon after.
Descriptions are tentative and may change depending on organization needs at the time of the trip.
Equal Justice Under Law – Alabama or Tennessee
The students will conduct a week-long investigation into several cities across Alabama or Tennessee (TBD) that are identified by Equal Justice Under Law and media accounts as serious violators of basic civil and human rights through their treatment of indigent people in municipal courts. Students will focus their investigation on cities that operate debtors' prisons and systemically violate other fundamental rights, such as bail and right-to-counsel.
Student investigators will gather information about constitutional civil rights violations, observe municipal court hearings, comprehensively record their observations, and interview indigent defendants and families. At the end of the week, students will compile their observations into a report on the municipalities. The evidence gathered and the relationships built with indigent victims of these practices will form the basis for several new lawsuits against those cities similar to Equal Justice Under Law's landmark lawsuit against the City of Montgomery in 2014.
Four to six students.
Community Activism Law Alliance (CALA) – Chicago
Students will prepare and deliver two or more workshops for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) applications and renewals and possibly for the new executive action on immigration in the Little Village community of Chicago, which has the highest number of undocumented immigrants in Chicago. In preparation, students will do outreach to local communities on the south and west sides of Chicago and have the opportunity to work with CALA's community partner organizations in court and in their legal clinics on a variety of legal issues. Community Activism Law Alliance (CALA) brings to Chicago "community activism lawyering," a model of legal practice that brings lawyers and activists together in a collaborative pursuit to maximize their respective resources. By creating partnerships between lawyers and grassroots community organizations, CALA maximizes both legal and activism resources to produce greater and more impactful services.
Four to six students. Spanish helpful.
Mississippi Delta Project/Delta Directions – Clarksdale, MS
Students will work to capture video and audio footage, gather resources, and draft informative online materials in order to create a digital advocacy strategy to promote education and awareness around heirs' property issues in the Mississippi Delta.
Heirs' property is a large and perpetual problem in the Delta. Heirs' property is property that has been inherited through intestate, meaning that it was inherited through a death without a will. When this happens, the property is divided into equal shares between all existing heirs, who become tenants in common. It is not uncommon to have upwards of 40-50 heirs to one property.
This fractured ownership leads to much confusion, complication, and litigation. It also lowers the value of the land, prevents owners from fully utilizing their lands, acquiring loans against the land, or accessing many federal agricultural programs. In addition, this clouded title creates an unstable form of land ownership of which there has been a long history of exploitation, specifically against small, minority farmers. Agricultural land owned by African Americans has fallen from 19 million acres in the era following the Civil war to around 7 million today and these issues have contributed to the decline of African American farmers and farms in Mississippi. Many Delta residents face these heirs' property problems, but are ill-informed about the issues, their own rights, and available resources.
Students on this trip will build upon work and research already done by the Delta Fellow and HLS students on a previous HLS Mississippi Delta Project spring break to develop digital advocacy strategies to increase education and awareness around heirs' property rights and issues. The primary piece of this advocacy strategy will be a short informative documentary on heirs' property rights that students will help to design and capture relevant and informative footage for. Students will meet, interview, and film people working with heirs' property rights, including experts, advocates, and property owners. The footage will be incorporated with other footage already captured by Delta Directions in order to create a short documentary aimed at educating audiences about the importance and impact of heirs' property issues. Students will also draw from existing research to draft supporting advocacy materials for an accompanying website where the documentary will be hosted. These materials will include descriptions and explanations of key issues, an outline of policy solutions, and an available resources guide.
Four students.
ProBAR – Harlingen, TX
The South Texas Pro Bono Asylum Representation Project (ProBAR) is a national effort to provide pro bono legal services to asylum seekers detained in South Texas by the United States government. The project recruits, trains and coordinates the activities of volunteer attorneys, law students and legal assistants.
Students would likely be in two groups. One group would work at the Children's Project and one group at the Adult Detention Project. The Children's Project mainly works on Special Immigrant Juvenile Status and asylum. In the Adult Project, the students will likely be working on an asylum case. There may also be a Legal Permanent Resident or undocumented immigrant who needs help with his cancellation of removal application. Although the majority of the adult detained population is from Mexico and Central America ProBar also works with "third language speakers," immigrants from Somalia, Nepal, and other countries.
Besides working on a case the students will also observe how the staff conducts know your rights presentations and workshops at the shelters and detention center.
Four students. Students who wish to work with immigrant children must be fluent in Spanish.
Local Boston-area Pro Bono Project – Boston and/or Cambridge, Massachusetts

- Direct client services at the Boston Municipal Court Service Center such as assisting with pro se forms,
- And delivering know your rights presentations through the Language Access Coalition.
No overnight or long-distance travel required. (Potential overnight in Holyoke, Massachusetts to deliver legal clinic to people housed in motels and shelters with Language Access Coalition)
As many students as can be accommodated will be selected.
