Jessie Daniels: Our prevailing mythology of meritocracy in the U.S. tells us that education is a path to achievement. To do provide that, we expect schools to be free from racism and provide an equal education to all.
Our Fellow Felons
Hannah Petrie: Even though the rates of drug-dealing and drug-using occurs equally among different races – (think weed here) whites deal to whites, blacks deal to blacks, Hispanics to Hispanics – it's the people of color who get busted. And once you're labeled a felon – and denied access to employment, housing, and other rights — your chances of returning to a straight and normal life are extremely low. It is a system designed to keep felons felons.

Skip to comments.Plea deal for teenagers charged over suicide of Phoebe Prince
Posted on 04/27/2011 5:26:58 PM PDT by Niuhuru
Five of the six teenagers charged with driving a 15-year-old Irish girl to suicide after an unrelenting bullying campaign have struck a plea deal agreement with prosecutors.
Despite denying the original charges of stalking, harassment and civil rights violations causing bodily injury they have now agreed to admit to a misdemeanour charge of harassment, and in exchange prosecutors will drop the more serious charges against them.
Kayla Narey, Sharon Chanon Velázquez, Ashley Longe, Sean Mulveyhill, and Flannery Mullins, all of South Hadley High School, faced felony and misdemeanour charges.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
I'm thinking branding would be a good start.
How gutless of our judicial system. I'm not even going to bother going to university. Online courses all the way.
So, in other words they are getting away with murder, manslaughter at the very least. How very progressive and compassionate of the perps on the part of Ireland. Meanwhile, a 15 year old child is still dead because of their relentless actions to destroy her. Is no one being held accountable for their actions any more?
"Is no one being held accountable for their actions any more?"
No, one must not make filth feel bad about their actions.
This happened in Massachusetts. Sounds like they're also dropping the statutory rape charge as part of the plea deal.
This happened in Massachusetts, I think.
Welcome to the (m)Assachussetts judicial system.
No surprise in a state run by Planned Parenthood.
Why bargain at all? What did these monsters have to offer in exchange? Now they escape being labelled for what they really are, and the State enables their release back into society to continue terrorizing it.
Oh. Sorry. I just answered my own question.
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Can you 'splain?
Sounds to me like she was just an outsider (because she was a foreigner), and these twits were jealous because she was dating somebody they wanted to date. But she didn't cause the trouble.
They did horrible things to her, and they were old enough to know better. But the people who should really be charged are any adults she may have contacted (guidance counsellors, for example?) who didn't do anything about it because they were too intimidated by the teenage mob to exert adult authority.
But since public school teachers are out there sleeping with the football heroes themselves, maybe they've lost their authority.
All I know is that we have to be a better society and that starts from within. Personally I'd like to believe that conservatives are better but I'm seeing a lot of evidence to the contrary. Our society isn't going to get better till we get better.
That means standing for what's right even if we dislike or disagree with the person we're defending.
May they never know a peaceful moment.
End the government school system, and we will go a long way towards reducing bullying. Also, why do kids have to go through school as a herd? Tailor education to the individual learner, and children will be able to move on when they are ready. No more imprisonment for 12 years. The society of schools closely resembles that of prisons. They both feature compulsory attendance of a sort.
"Now they escape being labelled for what they really are"
Not necessarily. Don't take my word for it, just ask Lori Drew, who's in hiding under an assumed name after pulling a similar stunt to this.
We have to be one of FEW countries in teh world that actually LET criminals negotiate their punishment.
You're entirely right in that. Another major feature is that it has kids with extremely disturbing behavioral issues to terrorize other students. It's feral now and not about concentrating on schooling, but concentrating on social networking. This is why China and other 'Third World' countries have us topped when ti comes to professional accomplishment.
Thankfully though they will have a record and will never be able to escape it. The charges will be there and there will be a conviction, something that will cripple their ability to get jobs and find decent spouses.
We can only hope.
I was shocked to learn of the kind of bullying that goes on in public schools. A co-worker of mine went to a large metro HS in the ATL area, and his very matter-of-fact description of physical assaults and relentless intimdation shocked me. I thank heavens for the sacrifice my parents made in sending me to private schools. The kids weren't perfect, and there was certainly a clique of "cool kids," but the worst they seemed to do to their social lessers was ignore them.
Bullying, or even energetic teasing, would never have been accepted, and if you tried it, you would have a very irate adult dragging your butt to the driveway to hand you back to your parents for good.
The poor girl was a mess from day one and initiated a lot of the trouble. There should be no charges at all.
So she was trouble & you know this how? And therefore she should die & nobody be charged? Shaking my head, so rape is ok etc? Because she was trouble she deserved to be raped & bullied until she killed herself.. I hope your links explain your sickening comments really well. Waiting for those links which are going to prove this 100%. Right?
They couldn't have just ignored her or reported her to the authorities?
Blaming the victim is the easy way out.
They would have never been charged in another country.
The young lady was promiscuous and took on the social network of a new school. She had sex with two boy friends of the alpha females. She put herself into a position where she was emotionally berated by these other kids.
The young lady was not mentally stable.
The young lady was an attention hound, who in the end, got all of the attention she was desiring.
Yes, the kids who berated her were nasty, horrible, assholes. But these cliques exist in all high schools. This stuff happens every single day.
It is unfair to other "similar" cases to use this case as the exemplar.
When these kids sign their book and movie deals we will finally hear their side of the story. You might want to withhold judgment until you hear both sides.
I live 15 miles from there. I know some of the players are the school. I know some of the players in the town.
This was a horrible incident, but there are gallons of blame to spread around to everyone.
Your observations are very good.
Check out the links on the local papers:
http://www.masslive.com You will have to search for them, but the stories are there.
The Prince girl was not forcibly raped. She engaged in consensual sex with a boy about two years older than her. In most states, that charge of statutory rape would not have been made.
The Prince girl attempted suicide when she lived in Ireland.
Those are facts.
The girls was not mentally stable from the get go.
It amazes me that the people on Free Republic will question the media when they do not question Obama on things like a birth certificate, but they accept hook line and sinker all of the crap presented by the local media.
Is is interesting that the District Attny that brought all of the charges, ran out of town before any trial date. The new DA took one look at this mess and wanted to cut a deal.
There is nothing there.
The deal was cut to get the kids to admit to the harassment, which is all there really was.
Do these kids deserve a swift kick in the ass? Yes. Absolutely. But did they derserve jail time because they could not diagnose a mental condition that had been missed by almost all of the school counselors and administrators.
As I said, I live nearby. Think about it. You have a media market full of kids just out of college getting swept up in this national frenzy. They simply dug it and looked for every angle that would get a reaction. The local DA loved being on the front page and GMA, and the Today show.
Of course they were going to whip this thing up as hard as they could.
But if you talked to local people, people involved in the school, people who knew the kids, people that worked in the legal system, you would get hints of the real story.
After they get the deals signed, you will hear the other side of the story. Then, if you still think there was forcible rape, harassment beyond what goes on in high schools every damn day, and someone a homicide or manslaughter I will respect your opinion. But if you are basing your opinion on news stories alone, you are going to be horribly surprised.
No part of this is clean. No part of it is right. But no part of it is criminal.
Thank you for your information. We see a story a few months ago ( whatever) & its a sad one. Then we hear nothing until now. I feel badly for all involved. It would be nice if all the facts we stated the first time a story came out. And thank you for a very nice civil reply,have a great day!
So it's OK for two high-school superstuds to have sex with a much younger girl if she comes on to them? And then it's doubly OK for the older high-school girls who are their customary sexual partners to harass the younger one to death? If you honestly believe that, then I hope you don't have children or work with children.
If you think a 17 year old should be convicted of rape for sex with a willing 15 year old, I hope you don't have children or work with children. Or law enforcement.
There's a difference between approval of a kid's actions and ruining the kid's life by bringing in the cops.
Much younger? How long ago were you in high school?
The girl strolled into the school and immediately put herself out there for the boys. And yes, it pissed off some of the other girls.
And they did nothing in terms of harassment than what goes on every single day. The girl was, to put it bluntly, nuts.
Those of you who think it was rape, who think this girl was an innocent little bystander who just got picked on need to take a step back and evaluate the situation in real time, not in your 1980's mindset.
The media dances around the non politically correct aspects of this:
1. The girl had emotional problems and had tried to commit suicide BEFORE she even game to this country.
2. She actively pursued, and had sex with these young men. It was consensual and there was no forced aspect of it. Yeah, she was young. But turn on the TV folks, younger girls are having sex all over the place.
3. She was picked on, and bullied. There is no doubt about that. But in the context of high school life these days, she was not bullied more or less than any other kid who put themselves in the same position.
I have to ask myself how some of you are putting together your "impressions" about this case. If you write me and say you are a South Hadley Tiger or Parent, then i guess I will bow to you closeness and insider status. But if you are outside of that realm, you are falling victim to the politically correct media, and the media and legal whores in the area who are using this tragic situation for their own benefit.
Why does the rest of the Free Republic world not believe someone who is "boots on the ground," but would take all of their information from the media who has been sensationalizing THIS case beyond what is true.
Now, I am also familiar with the case of the young man in Springfield who also committed suicide after being hounded by his peers. In that case, many a Freeper were making statements of his family, his parents, and his situation based on his color. My daughter played basketball with his sister and I know the family. I spent hours trying to dispell bullshit about that too.
The media sucks even worse at the local level than it does at the national level.
Don't believe the crap that spews out of Barbara Walter's mouth just because some pimply faced producer wrote the words.
I can assure you, that you do not know the entire story—because the kids' lawyers would not let them talk to the press. Wait until you hear it all before you pass judgement.
And yes, I have two wonderful daughters who got through secondary school in a town local to, and worse in terms of the "mean girls" stuff, than South Hadley. And I have heard stories worse than this one in terms of cliques and groups that "gang up" on the "sluts." It is not 1980 any more. It is a jungle.
If you haven't experienced the high school world in the past ten years, I would tell you that you have no idea of what you are talking or writing about in terms of the social pressures and the new social norms.
It is truly hell on earth.
I am truly sorry for this girls family. I am also sorry that these kids were stupid, arrogant, and foolish. I used examples like these kids to teach my girls that there is a lot more to high school sex than worrying about getting pregnant.
If you honestly believe that, you have little experience with the legal system in this country.
Most of these will be talked down to misdemeanors, and the records will be eligible to be expunged in about five years—or just about the time they are going into the workplace.
Now my opinions are pretty strong on this case, but in general, the legal system has not been a "carry it with you forever" world for a long, long time.
I am curious about how old you are, and whether or not you have daughters in a decent sized high school. You indignation tells me that you are either way passed that, or you haven't had to endure high school as a parent yet.
Present the facts to them:
Cute foreign girl comes into school.
The boys are attracted to her, and she is "available"
She sleeps with the top girl's boyfriend.
Then, when he dumps her, she sleeps with #2's boyfriend.
When the clique finds out about it, he dumps her too.
Ask any teenage girl who is tied into her schools social network (the real one, not the movie) how that would turn out.
I am not for a second suggesting that the girl "deserved" to die. I am suggesting that there is plenty of cause and effect. The wild card was that Phoebe was mentally ill. The stuff that slides off most of our backs hit home with her. And she could not take it.
I am not suggesting that kids are OK to bully. But, they were behaving in a way that has been accepted in that environment for years. They had no idea that the girl was not stable. Even the school did not know that. Are we holding teenagers responsible for diagnosing mental disorders now?
To suggest that intimidation and bullying has not been going on for eons is just living in pretend world.
I hope you understand that I am not sticking up for the kids that taunted this poor girl. I am only saying that there was a lot of behavior that was inappropriate on both sides. If anyone should be flogged, it should be the parents of all of these kids.

3rd September 2013 – London, UK & Boston, USA – Securstore is proud to announce that the Cave Hill Campus of University of West Indies (UWI) has agreed to backup and protect their data with Securstore's multi-award winning Cloud Backup & Recovery Solution. Established in 1948, the UWI is the largest and longest standing higher education provider in the English-speaking Caribbean. It has evolved from a fledgling college in the Caribbean island of Jamaica with 33 students to a fully-fledged University with over 45,000 students, approximately 9,000 graduates annually and more than 120,000 alumni.
The University previously used tape backups, before it decided to streamline its processes for the Cave Hill campus in Barbados. The advantages of using Securstore's service is they get a fully automated solution (therefore no risk of critical data not being backed up), the ability to recover files quickly, no more being prone to human error, no risk associated with faulty or corrupt tapes, and staff could use their time on other projects rather than managing the tape system, i.e. saving the University money by using resources better.
Securstore's solution supports servers, desktops, laptops, tablets, smartphones and virtual environments. For the University this represents a chance to scale or expand gradually as and when required, therefore giving full flexibility.
Keith Inniss, Manager of Enterprise Applications, said, "Data is core to any business, especially to ours due to the nature of what we do and the vast array of critical student data that we hold. There are many providers out there, but what makes Securstore the right choice for us is that they have the ability to focus on recovery, security and meeting compliance requirements. Our reputation is such that we couldn't take any chances and Securstore ticked all the boxes, we are pleased to be associated with them for the foreseeable future".
Having 24x7 technical support and assistance to Cloud Backup experts at any time was important for the University as an incident around the backup could occur at any time. The type of encryption used at flight and rest was determined by the University, i.e. up to 256 AES can be used and the key itself is safeguarded with no access granted to Securstore. This ensures that no third party can tamper with the data or the backup sets created, and full control is given to the University. If the key is lost for any reason then the data effectively becomes obsolete and cannot be recovered from Securstore's data centres.
Saaher Muzafer, Chief Sales Officer at Securstore, said, "We are happy to be protecting the data from the University of West Indies, education is one of those sectors where once you look at the type of data that is being held, it becomes on the same level as, for example, financial or legal companies. With global data centres and 24/7 support, we can provide a round the clock service to many organisations. We look forward to working with the University in the coming years".
About The University of West Indies
The four campuses of The UWI offer undergraduate and postgraduate degrees as well as certificates and diplomas in Engineering, Humanities & Education, Law, Medical Sciences, Pure & Applied Sciences, Science and Agriculture, and Social Sciences. As an icon of Caribbean integration and culture, The UWI remains committed to enhancing every aspect of Caribbean development and improving the well-being of the people of the Caribbean. The impressive network of UWI Alumni includes one Nobel Laureate, dozens of Rhodes Scholars and more than 18 current and former Caribbean Prime Ministers and Heads of State.

How Much Do Vocal Lessons Cost?
Vocal classes are done in a variety of ways, ranging from the traditional private tutoring to group classes to online vocal courses and programs.
How much does it cost?
- On average, vocal lessons are going to cost anywhere from $35 to as much as $65 per half hour. For lessons that last an hour, the costs can go up to $60 to $125 or more, depending on the vocal coach's experience.
- Bluebearmusic.org in San Francisco, California, for example, offers vocal lessons for various levels:
- Singing For People Who Can't Sing – $245 (or $85 3x)
- Beginning Voice – $300 (or $105 3x)
- Singing For People Who Can't Sing – $300 (or $105 3x)

- Your First Band – $300 (or $105 3x)
- Music Theory, with a Little Help from The Beatles – $245 (or $85 3x).
- Vanderpostvoicestudio.com offers the following prices for vocal lessons: $55 for the initial session, $40 for 30 minutes, $55 for 45 minutes, and $70 for 1 hour. Vocal lessons are also offered to groups of 4 students at $45 per student, or $180 per class.
- Pellegrinomusic.com in Canton, Ohio, offers vocal lessons for $84 a month. This price includes 4 half-hour lessons held once a week. For months that consist of 5 weeks, the last week is set aside for makeup lessons in the event that the student needs to reschedule.
What is going to be included?
- Vocal classes generally teach a variety of voice lessons that help a student to learn to project and increase his or her vocal range. Some vocal coaches offer a classical foundation from which a student can grow into any music genre he or she chooses.
- One-on-one instructions are typically offered to vocalists from any and every level of proficiency. Vocal classes can either be a number of half-hour lessons per week or hour-long sessions held on certain days of the week. Lessons can be held privately or with a group.
- Online singing programs and courses are also made available through CDs, DVDs or downloadable formats. Some online singing lessons include a WebBook with audio, software, and karaoke-style exercises. Singing lessons include: vocal production basics; proper breathing technique; diaphragm conditioning; establishment of range; singing scales and octaves; as well as practice suggestions.
What are the extra costs?
- Some vocal coaches charge late fees to students who are unable to pay for their lessons on the appointed time. Others charge administrative fees for cancellation of lessons.
- Membership fees are also necessary at some music schools, with some requiring fees of as much as $60.
Factors that influence the price:
- Vocal coach. Vocal lessons are usually offered by professionals with an expertise in the field. Many sessions are conducted by teachers that may or may not have singing careers. Often, vocal coaches who have had extensive singing training, experience, and comprehensive musical background demand higher fees due to their level of proficiency.
- Sessions. Voice lessons do not necessarily follow a standard when it comes to frequency of lessons. At times, though, there are music schools and coaches that offer lessons at a faster and more frequent pace, sometimes owing to student proficiency. This typically can lead to an increase in professional rates.
- Complexity of lesson. Vocal classes have different levels of complexity. Beginners naturally have basic and simple lessons, which cover the essentials of singing. Classes designed for more professional vocalists are more in-depth, usually taking on more targeted techniques, expression, phrasing and performance.
- Type of lesson. Vocal lessons can be taken in either of three methods. These include private lessons, group classes, and online tutorials. Of the three, the latter is typically the cheapest, mainly because of the impersonal level of involvement provided by the medium. Group class is more expensive than an online course, but more affordable than a private coaching. Private lessons are the most expensive due to their highly tailored approach to learning.
Tips to know:
- Before choosing a vocal coach, make sure to research about his or her musical background, proficiency, length of time in the business of teaching voice lessons and reputation with past and present clients.
- If opting to take vocal lessons at a music school, it is important to get a feel for the school environment and be certain that it is a good fit.
- When choosing between a private lesson and a group class, it is often advisable for students to choose the method in which they are most comfortable to ensure that they are as motivated as possible.
How can I save money?
- Take advantage of memberships that offer discounts and reduced prices for vocal lessons.
- Some music schools offer significant discounts to students who prepay their fees a month in advance.
- If you are willing, consider purchasing an online vocal course. But be sure that the product has had positive reviews from customers to ascertain that they are a good value for the money.
- Some music schools offer low-cost tutorials to interested students. In this setup, private tutoring sessions are offered at reduced rates and follow a certain schedule. However, these tutorials are taken in conjunction with a regular course. For enthusiasts, such affordable tutorials are an excellent way to hone their skills.

It looks like they are working 6 days/week and doing over 10K coins/day. That's $100K in gross profit just from coin grading every day!!
followed up with 260,966
I have to say, I figured by now that the cert rate would go down to the 200,000 mark and then hit 150,000 in April. That it is staying this high so far into the new year with the backlog as high as it is, is very encouraging.
Over the past 8 years, the historical cert rate is 450,000/qtr on avg. There have been qtrs where it is worse and some better, but never as good as this qtr, EVER
latest is 250,863 and that is with the company NOT working on this last Sat/Sun. Backlog is still going up. I am confounded by the number of coins they are pushing through AND the backlog still going up.
If no new coins were submitted, it would take them through April to clear their backlog.

Long before I considered becoming Catholic—during the time, in fact, when I considered myself to be anti-Catholic—I found myself drawn to the study of biblical typology.

If you know me at all, you know that I draw deep inspiration from the last chapter of Saint Luke's Gospel. I love the story of the disciples' walk with Jesus on the road to Emmaus.

Kildare and Cork have lot of ground to cover on tactical maestros
Published 09/07/2014 | 02:30
Paul Grimley was slated for his naive tactics when Armagh lost to Cavan in the Ulster championship last year. Martin Dunne took advantage of the vast space afforded to him by the Armagh defence and scored eight points from play. Grimley watched on and made no change to his system.
He issued an apology to Armagh fans in the aftermath of the defeat saying: "As to what went wrong, you may or may not know, we have adopted a very attack-minded approach from the start of the year, a high-pressure, high-risk strategy which was practiced throughout the league with limited success.
"But we will persist with our plan, although we shall address the risk element of our tactic and plan B will arrive when plan A is polished, as these will need to be worked on over months, if not years, to get right."
This season, in successive weeks, Jason Ryan and Brian Cuthbert have not had the tactical flexibility to change their game-plan during the course of a game when, even to a casual observer, something needed to be done.
I mentioned last week that I think Eamonn Fitzmaurice is an excellent manager. He is tactically astute and not afraid to take risks and he proved that again on Sunday. He changed his game-plan from the semi-final against Clare and ambushed Cork on their home patch. Grimley bluffed about plan B "taking months, if not years, to get right" – Fitzmaurice created one that worked in two weeks!
Last season, Davy Fitzgerald played with a sweeper until the All- Ireland semi-final against Limerick. For that semi-final he changed his tactics and reverted to a more orthodox formation. It was a daring and surprising move to change what had been successful for the Clare team until that point. As a result, in the lead up to the All-Ireland final, Cork didn't know what to expect. Again, Davy, like him or loathe him, is an excellent manager tactically.
Players always want a plan B. They want to trust that when things are not going according to plan, their manager will make the right calls on the line. Right now that trust will have been damaged in the Kildare and Cork dressing-rooms.

Nicholas Watt: Tories warn that David Cameron and George are alienating MPs with their 'sneering condescension'
Nicholas Watt: George Osborne in trouble over child benefit withdrawal because original intention was to abandon plan as economy recovered
Nicholas Watt: Ed Balls believes George Osborne's autumn statement vindicates his view last year that the chancellor was guilty of 'ripping out the foundations of the house just as the hurricane is about to hit'
George Osborne is often mocked as a Tory version of Gordon Brown. Critics say that neither trained as economists – they are dodgy history graduates – and they are both overly political
It has been some time since the Tories have launched an old fashioned attack dossier
Yvette Cooper shines in budget debate, leaving Labour MPs to wonder if star is missing from leadership contest
Is Labour losing out on a star? Yvette Cooper has just impressed the Labour benches with a tour de force of a speech in which she picked apart the budget for imposing "savage" cuts that are "nastier" than anything introduced by Margaret Thatcher

Managing GPS data with ActivityDiary
On the left-hand side, the program now gives you the details of the route, such as the starting time, duration, distance, average speed, and altitude (Figure 5). If you need detailed information about a specific part of the route, rather than for the whole route, you can right-click and use the drop-down menu functions to move the starting and finishing points of your route to match the section you are interested in. ActivityDiary then automatically updates the chart and the route details, giving you information on the selected section.
The activity type – which is shown as an icon in the calendar – the activity name, and all user-defined information for the current route can be entered and edited on the left.
After storing all the information you need, save the data in your diary via the menu, or by pressing Ctrl+S. Then you can use the calendar to find the activity in the matching calendar week and load and edit the activity via the calendar at a later date (Figure 6).
The Future
ActivityDiary is an open source project that is still at an early stage of development. The programmers still need to complete some of the useful features on their roadmap, and others need some polishing.
For example, it should be possible to configure the user-defined fields for additional information via a menu; this would let users customize the program to suit their needs.
In addition, it would be useful to enhance the way the map view and charts work together so that selecting a value or a range in the chart would highlight the matching waypoints on the map.Some work also needs to be done on the pulse data display. The program currently relies on time as the basis for integrating pulse and GPS data so that you can see exactly which climb caused a high pulse rate.
On a positive note, ActivityDiary is a stable, platform-independent, and easy-to-use program that visualizes and manages GPS data in a digital diary. Even if you don't have GPS information for a route, ActivityDiary gives you the option of editing a route manually to cover all of your workouts. And entering multiple-day training camps or treks that you can then evaluate whenever you like is easy. The combination of geodetic information and pulse data is a new approach to analysis.
The programmers are not short on ideas for extending the program. For example, they can imagine people exchanging stored routes via a web resource to let other people know what they have been up to in their training or to plan joint activities. The ability to export routes created manually in map view, which would allow users to trace routes with their GPS devices, also seems useful. The programmers welcome feedback. If you have any other ideas or suggestions, would like to report a bug, or just want to download ActivityDiary, visit the project website.

We are pleased to announce a Performance Philosophy Working Session within the American Society for Theatre Research (ASTR).
"Beyond the Turn: Performance Philosophy Now"
Will Daddario, University of Minnesota ( firstname.lastname@example.com) Gabriella Calchi-Novati, Trinity College Dublin (email@example.com)
The international, interdisciplinary research network known as "Performance Philosophy" seeks to draw upon and develop the philosophical activity alive within ASTR's membership to determine the benefits, challenges, theoretical obstacles, and performative potential Performance Philosophy offers to scholars and practitioners in the present moment.
Understood not as a "turn" in the fields of theatre or performance studies but, rather, as a new field in its own right involving researchers based in a wide range of disciplines, Performance Philosophy presents the possibility of thinking theatre and performance anew, against the backdrop of current philosophical debates. Performance philosophers understand those debates to have the ability to thrust theatre and performance events into a new light, while, simultaneously, recognizing that the specific material conditions of theatre and performance events have the ability to invest philosophical concepts with new life. Building on the momentum of recent works such as Martin Puchner's 'The Drama of Idea's and Laura Cull's 'Theatres of Immanence', this working session requests paper proposals from scholars and practitioners involved in the interplay between performance and philosophy.
Specifically, papers might pursue the following avenues:
-the application of philosophy to the analysis of performance; -the philosophy of performance and/or the performance of philosophy; -the study of how philosophers and philosophical ideas have been staged in performance or how ideas and images of performance have figured in philosophy;
-the theoretical or practical exploration of philosophy as performance and/or as performative; and likewise, experiments emerging from the idea that performance is a kind of philosophy or thinking or theorizing in itself.
Please compose 500-word proposals that present an abstract of your paper and a brief description of how the paper relates to your primary area of research. Proposals should include complete contact information and organizational affiliation (if any).
Send your proposal (as MS Word attachments) to both conveners by June 3, 2013.
After selecting participants who engage with such themes, we will group the papers together by theme and create sub-groups. We will ask members of each sub-group to attend to the interconnection of themes evident in the initial abstracts so as to build connections between the papers. Individuals accepted to the working session will be expected to submit full 10- to 12-page papers no later than October 1, 2013, in order to facilitate pre-conference conversations
The 2013 ASTR/TLA Conference, "Post-Thematic Conference," will be held in November 7 - 10, 2013 at the Fairmont Dallas (Texas) Hotel. For more information, check out the website: http://www.astr.org/conference

A recent survey by Sun Life Financial Inc. shows that more Americans plan to delay their retirement because of steep drops in their savings accounts.
They found that 65 percent of American workers plan to stay on the job at least one more year. That's an 11 percent increase from a similar survey in January.
"Americans are looking at all different aspects of their lives and trying to figure out how they can secure a financial future given the economic factors that they're living with," said Sun Life Financial spokeswoman Julie DiCarlo.
Reuters reports experts attribute it to the fall of stock markets since 2007. They also say people are living longer and having to build up more savings before they can retire.
The random survey of 1,451 adults ages 18 to 66 was conducted by telephone between Aug.14 and Sept. 14 and has a statistical margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percent.

The expression "imaginary portrait" was coined by Walter Pater in 1878, when it appeared in a letter he sent to George Grove, editor of Macmillan's Magazine, to describe his original experiment in creative fiction, the short story "Imaginary Portraits 1.

Hitherto Pater had published art criticism with Studies in the History of the Renaissance (1873) – something of a success de scandal – as well as essays on literature, philosophy and mythology. In "The Child in the House" he reproduced the impressionistic approach of his criticism to create an autobiographically-based tale in which action is interiorised and dialogue nonexistent.

Nordisk familjebok
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Nordisk familjebok (Swedish: [ˈnuːɖɪsk faˈmɪljəˈbuːk], Nordic Family Book) is a Swedish encyclopedia that was published in print form between 1876 and 1957, and that is now fully available in digital form via Project Runeberg at Linköping University.
Print editions[edit]
The first edition of Nordisk familjebok was published in 20 volumes between 1876 and 1899, and is known as the "Idun edition" because it bears a picture of Idun, the Norse mythologic goddess of spring and rejuvenation, on its cover.[1][2] This was published during almost a quarter of a century, and particularity the first ten volumes contain material which are not seen in later editions. A good example of this is found in the end of the Berlin article. (which is included in the second volume, from 1878[3]), the author finishes his article by telling about "countless of whiteness who find the public decency and morality to be very poor". The author continues by complaining about "the external ecclesiastical duties" as being "very lazy" and "to all these joint circumstances, one can hardly defend oneself against the thought of future threatening dangers".[4]
The second edition, popularly known as Uggleupplagan ("The Owl Edition") because of an owl image on its cover, was published between 1904 and 1926 in 38 volumes, and is the most comprehensive encyclopedia published in the Swedish language.[citation needed]. [1][2]
The third edition had 17 volumes and was published between 1924 and 1937. Another three supplementary volumes were published in 1937, 1938 and in 1939. The supplement covers for instance the Spanish Civil War and a heavy update on Adolf Hitler, but nothing about Germany's war on Poland nor are later events are mentioned. A second printing of the entire third edition was published between 1941 and 1944. Nothing essential is changed in the second printing, but quite a lot of one side portraits (still in black and white), coloured maps of "World cities", European countries, continents, Swedish provinces and cities are added together with a few topics, like a collection of national flags. All the added material are on unnumbered pages, presumably a technical printing solution (so already printed books didn't require to be re-numbered). This edition is usually called "the 1930's edition" and are of brown colour when looking at them on a shelf.
Copyrights on the three first versions have expired, putting them in the public domain;[citation needed] while the fourth edition, from the 1950s still have copyright.[citation needed]
Digital editions[edit]
Projekt Runeberg (Project Runeberg) was founded in by Lars Aronsson and others at Linköping University in late 1992.[citation needed] It was started with the intention of providing digital copies of books significant to the culture and history of Nordic countries (just as Project Gutenberg has done with English literature).[5] By 2001, technology—image scanning and optical character recognition techniques—had improved enough to allow digitization of both print editions of the Nordisk familjebok (45,000 pages).[5] While further work on this encyclopedia series remains (as of 1 January 2015),[clarification needed] the two editions were freely available at the Project Runeberg web portal as of that date.[citation needed]

Milk warmer temperature is never right. I would much rather warm up the milk my self with putting bottle in a bowl of warm water. Wipes warmer is great and a must have. The lansinoh lanolin ointment for BF moms has been so awesome! My medela pump in style has been so awesome too. I bought the plated drop ins and now regretting it. DD takes way to long to feed. I'm now using the medela bottles and dr. Browns. The swing and the fisher price rocker that can be used for toddlers is GREAT! it's pink with a mouse in the middle. We saw it online at target for $40 plus shipping but we instead found it at Walmart marked down from $37 to $19 . Wow!! The gerber long sleeve oonsies with the mittens that u can use on it is wonderful. I also love the night time gowns where it's opened at the bottom . Like the Simpsons Maggie oonsie. I made my own bibs out of cloth. They are great since their big and wide. Becareful in choosing the hats for ur baby and make sure their stretchy and no too tight for baby. Oh the lansinoh BF storage bags have been soo good. Hope this helps. Share your experience and what u recommend.
What I wish I knew before purchasing *product reviews* *helpful plz read*

I hated the wipes warmer. The liquid would all evaporate out and the wipes would scorch and turn brown and smelly. I wouldn't buy another one.
The gigantic Graco travel system was so big, heavy, and cumbersome we rarely used it. We bought an umbrella stroller with a sunshade that reclined all the way and used it everywhere once the baby was about 6 months old.
The Jumperoo was DD's favorite thing ever for many months! I put it at the edge of the kitchen and I could cook dinner uninterupted for 45 minutes with her just happily giggling and bouncing.
I'm a proud BFing, CDing, BWing, over 40 mom and loving it. DD born 12/04, DS born 10/12.
( . Y . ) Yay, just made silver and going for gold!

I would be careful using the lavender baby wash on boys. Lavender is known to raise estrogen levels.

Lilly pad reusable nursing pads are amazing. They're these little silicone things that don't just catch leaks it stops them all together! And they're not bulky either so you don't feel like your stuffing your bra.

operababe- I know someone who had the same problem but the wipe warmer I have sell pads to keep the wipes moist..you just wet the pad and it lasts up to 3 months I think.

Be careful using the nightgown/sleepers that are open on the bottom. With our first I stocked up thinking they'd be so convenient, we had a nurse visit the second week dd was born and she advised against them, my poor dd (and other babies) were too cold on their lower half. I'm guessing if you're in a warm climate you're okay, but we were told not to use them even with the swaddle.

The books called "indestructibles" are Amazing for curious babies that like to crinkle, chew, destroy books/paper. totally washable, and impossible to rip
Posted 09/22/2012
Reusable nursing pads you can find at most places that sell baby feeding supplies, they are machine washable and usualy come in 6 pack meanind r sets of two. But are well worth the 10 bucks I spent on them. I ended up puying 3 packs so I had 9 sets very handy and comfortable. I also love this heart sound bear I got as a baby gift with my youngest you put the recorder that records your heart beat and you put the recording in the bear and has an on off switch so it sounds to baby like the womb. Comforted her every time. She is now 3 and still listens to it and that bear is her lovie!

Sheriff's Office reminds public not to park on McCarran during the Great Reno Balloon Race
|Bob Harmon
Washoe County Sheriff's Office
Office 775-785-6235
Cell 775-722-5517
The Washoe County Sheriff's Office reminds drivers that there will be temporary parking restrictions along McCarran Boulevard during the Great Reno Balloon Race at Rancho San Rafael Regional Park.
As part of efforts to reinforce the safety of pedestrians and motorists during the event, parking is not allowed along McCarran Boulevard between North Virginia Street and Keystone Avenue from Saturday, August 31 through Sunday, September 8, 2013.
Parking in the median is never allowed per state law.
These temporary parking restrictions are implemented to increase public safety by reducing the dangers caused by a large number of vehicles stopping, standing or parking along a heavily used roadway.
Motorist and pedestrian safety are among the Sheriff's Office highest priorities during this event and Deputies will be patrolling the area to enforce these parking restrictions.
All motorists are asked to use extra caution and stay focused on the road, not the balloons, when driving in the area of the event.
The Washoe County Sheriff's Office celebrated 150 years of proud service and community partnership in 2011. Sheriff Chuck Allen is the 26th person elected to serve as the Sheriff of Washoe County. His office continues to be the only full service public safety agency operating within northern Nevada and is responsible for operating the consolidated detention facility, regional crime lab, Northern Nevada Regional Intelligence Center, Internet Crimes against Children Task Force, court security, service of civil process and traditional street patrols.

I don't see how Intel's first quad-core bus-choked chip is any more "legitimate" than having two dual-core AMD64 chips. They're simply solutions for those who need them.
one year from today, 4x4 will be mainstream hardware, and be best bang for buck

Today I'm going to share some of my favorite fonts with you!
When I first mentioned to my husband that I wanted to buy a font, he looked at me like I had two heads! "Huh?" he said, completely confused… He didn't realize people bought fonts and quite honestly, up until a few years ago, I didn't either! But after years of scouring all the prettiest blogs on the Internet, and all the fancy art prints available on Etsy, it hit me that typography can truly make a difference.
Here are a few of my faves:
{Carolyna / Mariette / Katie Rose / Quick Death}
After receiving my logo from Carolynn over at Two Brunettes, and falling in love with the font she used (see the white lettering in the black circle above – my blog header), I decided I wanted to invest in that font to pretty up my collages, and give my blog a cohesive look! Now, when I post about Ask GG, workout outfits, or other fun graphics, I use that font to bring it all together.
Carolyna is also a pretty popular font in the wedding industry, and you may have seen it over on Style Me Pretty. I think that's because it's feminine and fun. I bought it several months ago and still love it to pieces!
Do you have an obsession with fonts?
Have you ever considered investing in a font for your blog?

Deficit Reduction Versus Democracy
Shamus Cooke: Listening to Congress debate deficit deduction is like listening to a den of lions discuss the welfare of zebras. In both cases the debate is very one-sided.

Ann Robertson and Bill Leumer: The only alternative available to working people that offers real prospects for success are mass mobilizations in the streets and strikes – the kind of militant struggles that scored so many gains in the 1930s.
Slash Social Security? No – Double It
Steven Hill: Social Security Plus would provide a stable, secure retirement for every American and contribute greatly toward a solid foundation from which to build a strong and vibrant 21st century U.S. economy.

I'm not going to be the hero you read about in books. I'm not that type of hero. I am a weaver. I weave seemingly random moments into a tapestry of words that come together to form a message that connects the outwardly disparate, distinct threads of my life. I merge bold obnoxious hues of green, red, and orange, with soft pastels of pink, yellow, purple, and blue. That is my craft, my gift. I connect things, subtly, invisibly, patiently, into an intelligible whole.
The other day I went to community mediation with a friend. The teacher spoke of the Zen Buddhist tradition of koans, and I came to understand them as being a bit like Jesus' parables, paradoxical anecdotes used to demonstrate the inadequacy of logical reasoning to arouse enlightenment. I left the meditation with the sense that my gift, like my life, was remarkably similar to this notion of koans. It doesn't make sense. It's an answerless riddle, whose truth, invisible to the eye, is discernable only to the heart.
The weaving, I often don't see it happening. No, I feel it happening. I sense myself gathering threads, random moments of significance that capture my attention. It is an unscripted, non-linear process. I don't know how the moments will come together. It doesn't fit a pre-determined path; its not goal-oriented. It unfolds moment-to-moment, word-to-word, from some non-distinct origin.
It's an abstract, confusing, and frustratingly slow process. People often ask me why I'm still playing field hockey, well, its simple really, the tapestry isn't complete. I'm still weaving.
You know how you can see a thing, and understand a thing one way your entire life, you think you know it, but all of sudden, in an unsuspecting moment, everything shifts, and you see the very same thing you've been looking at your whole life in a totally new way. Well, that's what is happening for me, everything's shifting, a new sense of awareness buds within my soul, and these random moments of significance I've been cataloging for years are beginning to settle themselves into the weaver's tale.
And when the tapestry is complete, I can't wait to share it.

Agents at centre of Melbourne Storm salary cap scandal to fight NRL ban
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- April 27, 2012
SALACIOUS new details surrounding the Melbourne Storm salary cap scandal are set to be aired in open court; with three player agents found guilty over the rort vowing to take legal action to clear their names.
As revealed in yesterday's Daily Telegraph, Isaac Moses, David Riolo and George Mimis - who represent hundreds of stars - have received six-month bans from the NRL's Player Agent Accreditation (PAA) committee.
The PAA this week rejected their defence against charges that they had helped source illicit payments for Storm stars including Cameron Smith (Moses), Billy Slater (Mimis) and Ryan Hoffman (Riolo).
But advice from their common barrister, Alan Sullivan QC, last night indicated the suspensions will be taken to arbitration before the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).
The agents will today approach the PAA for consent to stay their suspensions - and allow them to continue negotiating NRL contracts - until the appeal hearings take place.
Legal sources last night said the AAT would need at least a month to convene an arbitration.
Should the PAA enforce the suspensions in the meantime, the agents will then seek a Supreme Court injunction to keep operating until the AAT hearing begins.
Crucially, AAT arbitrations are open to the public.
The Daily Telegraph understands part of the agents' appeal could rely on fresh and dramatic details about knowledge other parties had about the rorts.
The appeal is also likely to claim the PAA committee did not adhere to "due process" because it failed to conduct an independent investigation and relied primarily on the NRL's findings to reach a verdict.
There is already dissatisfaction that a fourth agent, Allan Gainey, has been allowed to continue with a formal warning after pleading guilty to knowledge about secret inducements made to Test centre Greg Inglis.
The ALRC last night said the latest development would not motivate a review of the findings that no Storm players, coaches or directors were complicit in the five-year scheme to cheat the cap by $5 million.
"Anyone who was complicit in that must know that the net may fall on them," ALRC boss David Gallop said.
In its formal notification of the penalties, the PAA did not give reasons for its decision.
Mimis last night issued a statement vowing to appeal. Riolo and Moses refused to comment."I maintain my innocence throughout this matter and my innocence was supported by a statutory declaration given by the player (Slater) as to the sequence of events," Mimis said.
