Even if you're undocumented, you still have rights! Learn more, get help
Immigration & National Origin Program
LAS–ELC's Immigration & National Origin Program provides legal assistance to workers who face discrimination because of the country they or their families come from; because they belong to a particular ethnic or geographical community; because they immigrated to the United States; or because of linguistic, cultural, religious or other characteristics that are closely tied to their national origin.
The Immigration & National Origin Program helps individuals to enforce their rights against types of discrimination that affect national origin minority and immigrant workers, particularly those who lack legal status in the United States, through litigation and administrative advocacy. We also engage in legislative and other policy advocacy and provide legal advice and referrals. In collaboration with a range of advocates, we provide technical assistance and education to strengthen the interests of national origin and immigrant communities nationwide.
Some of our recent cases include:
- Saephan v. Oakland Unified School District: In this case, our client was a Mien-speaking school custodian with years of successful job performance whose employer refused to bring her back from layoff, claiming that her English was no longer sufficient for her to do her job.
- EEOC and Khan v. Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc.: We obtained monetary relief and nationwide corporate policy changes for a Muslim woman who was fired from her job at an Abercrombie store because she refused to remove her hijab, a headscarf that she was mandated to wear by her religious beliefs.
- Arias v. Raimondo: We represent a dairy worker whose employer, and its attorney, contacted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in an attempt to have him deported after he filed a claim for unpaid wages.
- Salas v. Sierra Chemical Co.: The California Supreme Court issued an opinion in June 2014 concluding that the immigration status of an individual does not curtail his right to be protected by California's employment laws even where the employee (in this case our client Mr. Salas) may have used false documents to obtain his job.
- Guerrero v. California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, et al.: Our client in this case is a naturalized U.S. citizen who was rejected for the job as a state Correctional Officer because he disclosed that he was once undocumented and had been given a false Social Security number in order to help support his family.
Immigrant workers and native-born Americans alike are protected against discrimination based on their national origin. It is almost always illegal for an employer to refuse to hire someone because she is not a United States citizen. Under the law, employers cannot discriminate against persons because of the language they speak, or because they speak English with difficulty or with an accent, unless there is a demonstrable reason that requiring English to be spoken. And even though an employee may not be legally authorized to work in the United States, she is still protected by all of the rights and remedies provided to workers by Federal and California law, with few exceptions.

Michael Izbicki grew up in a nondenominational church in California. A National Merit Scholarship finalist, he chose to go to the U.S. Naval Academy out of a sense of duty to his country during a time of war. At the naval academy he began to doubt whether the career to which he had committed himself could be squared with the tenets of just war doctrine. He got in trouble when he responded no to this exam question: "If given the order, would you launch a missile carrying a nuclear warhead?" After a four-year legal battle, the navy discharged him as a conscientious objector. Izbicki may have to reimburse the service for part or all of his education (New York Times, February 22).

Lifelong comic book fan Ken Eppstein started Nix Comics, Columbus' independent comic publisher, two years ago because he wasn't interested in available mass-market products. As the lead writer and editor-in-chief of Nix, Eppstein makes sure the stories maintain a fast-paced, compelling arc and are as subversive as they are appealing.
The overarching theme of Nix Comics is modern fables. All of the stories are very much geared toward — "morality plays" would be a little heavy-handed, but that's basically what they are. Nix Comics Quarterly, which is my flagship book, is an anthology which … is all in the spirit of the "Tales from the Crypt" [books], which were basically morality plays.
Recently I've gotten into some longer stuff. I did a full 20-page kids comic with one basic story arc. The western I just put out is a single 28-page story, but still has the same kind of cautionary tale aspect to it.
Nix Comics is a modern mythology, a modern set of fables. It runs a little contrary to the mainstream character-driven books of today, but I don't think Aesop ever worried about the fox's upbringing or origin story. If you're playing to a smart audience, they can fill in for themselves and probably much better than I ever could.
I take a take-the-mountain-to-Muhammad point of view on it all. I'm selling at coffee shops, independent book stores and boutiques like What the Rock?! as well as Laughing Ogre and conventional comic bookstores. I very much tailor the books to be popular with record store crowds. They're in Spoonful, Lost Weekend, Used Kids and Elizabeth's Records.
I like to put in stuff for my record store friends, a lot of musical and pop culture references. I'm an old "Star Trek" guy, so I like putting in "Star Trek" references that only some people get. It's important to have those outside touchstones to modern culture because modern comics have become so insular.
The X-Men was the first comic book that was kind of my own. When I was a kid, usually my older brothers would quickly lay claim to whatever I brought into the house. X-Men was the first one that I brought home where they'd go, "What the hell is this?" It's not the Flash or Superman, so they left it alone.
I've always been a big Superman over Batman booster. One's a rich boy with mommy issues who buys expensive cars to save the world instead of sinking it into education; the other is what we aspire to be. He's the son of a farmer and a scientist and a crusading journalist.

BSC Active in New River Clean Up Project, September 17
CreatedMonday, September 12 2011
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 email@example.com
(Bluefield)—This region's portion of the oldest river in North America will get a makeover on September 17, courtesy of an effort coordinated by a Bluefield State College faculty member and a team of more than 200 volunteers that includes several BSC student organizations.
Dr. Michael Smith, Professor of English at BSC, chairs a New River Watershed Roundtable (NRWR) committee focused upon cleaning up the New River. "We invite everyone to take part in this one-day initiative, beginning at 9:30 a.m. on September 17 at Foster Falls, near the Shot Tower and I-77," he said. "Foster Falls (just 40 minutes from Bluefield) is the New River State Park's headquarters. More than one million people visit the park each year, and the greatest number come through Foster Falls. That's why it's the point at which we're beginning our effort."
Participants should bring river shoes and they can provide their own bikes and canoes. The Virginia Park Service will furnish shuttle service and trash pickup. Refreshments will be served following the 3:30 p.m. conclusion of the cleanup effort.
"The New River is such a beautiful river and it's enjoyed by many, many people," Smith continued. "Every organization and individual involved in this cleanup will be doing something very positive and meaningful in an ecologically important community service project."
"We welcome all volunteers," he added. "Some may have an affinity for the New River. It certainly provides a wonderful place to canoe, paddle, fish, camp, bike, and hike. Other volunteers might have a strong interest in ecology, and we hope to involve groups that see this effort as a very worthwhile service project."
Interested individuals and organizations are encouraged to contact Dr. Smith (by e-mail at email@example.com or by phone at 304-327-4026) for more information.

- Abstract
- The bacterial attachment response on titanium surfaces with various degrees of nano-roughness in the range of 14 nm to 0.6 nm has been investigated. Titanium surfaces were fabricated from commercial purity grade 2 (as-received) titanium, titanium modified by equal channel angular pressing (modified titanium) and titanium thin film of 12 nm and 150 nm obtained using a magnetron sputtering system. The chemical composition, wettability and surface architecture of Ti surfaces were characterised using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, contact angle measurements and atomic force microscopy. Two human pathogenic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus CIP 68.5 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9025 were found to respond differently to each of the tested surfaces. The results indicate that bacteria can differentiate between surfaces with the fine (less than 1 nm) change of topographic characteristics, the number of retained cells differing by a factor of up to 2.

Title 22 of the Arkansas Code includes Arkansas-specific provisions for LEED and Green Globes certification. These rating systems add to the state building energy code established in 2004 for New Building Construction. Under the Arkansas-specific provisions, those pursuing LEED certification receive additional credit for the use of composite wood and agri-fiber products, post-consumer recycled content, renewable bio-based materials, carbon-sequestering bio-based materials, and bio-based materials from other certified sources. Those using the Green Globes rating system receive additional credit for carbon-sequestering, bio-based materials and bio-based materials from certified sources.
The Sustainable Energy-Efficient Buildings Program, enacted April 2009 with the passage of HB 1663 (Act 1494), directs the Arkansas Energy Office to develop a plan for reducing energy use in all existing state-owned major facilities by 20 percent from 2008 levels by 2014 and 30 percent by 2017. Major facilities are defined as construction projects larger than 20,000 gross square feet of occupied or conditioned space. Major renovations are defined as projects for major facilities, where the renovations cost over 50% of the insured value. For new construction and major renovations, the criteria specify that public buildings must be certified to be at least 10% more efficient than ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007, as it existed on January 1, 2009. The Arkansas Energy Office will develop a program to manage energy, water, and other public agency utility uses to reduce total energy consumption as long as the savings can be justified by a life cycle cost analysis. The Arkansas Energy Office will update this program annually. HB 1663 (Act 1494) also directed the Arkansas Energy Office to complete an energy audit of every public facility within five years.
In May 2009, Governor Mike Beebe issued Executive Order 09-07, directing all executive-branch agencies to submit strategic energy plans describing energy-savings measures that can be implemented by the agencies. The plans should include provisions for collecting and monitoring energy use data. The agencies submitted these plans by October 31, 2009, as well as the energy use information for all their facilities by April 1, 2010. Other state agencies are encouraged to develop strategic energy plans, as well.

The annual Phillies Nation road trip to DC was going along smoothly. Everyone was having a blast after an afternoon of buses, beers, and BBQ. The Phillies had just topped off their comeback with a run to take the lead in the top of the ninth. Then Brad Lidge gave up a walk-off home run. That about sums it up.
Here are some pictures from the tailgate and game, which again was a blast. Thanks everyone for coming!
34 Comments
If the Phillies are committed to winning, then they need to get rid of Brad Lidge. Either send him down to the minors for additional work or outright release him. He is going to kill us. We have Mattheson down in AAA Lehigh Valley and he is better than Lidge at this point. We went out and got Oswalt. We need to rid ourselves of this albatross. Amaro Jr. needs to put away the sentimentality of what Lidge did in 08 and realize that the guy is cooked. Do us all a favor, including Lidge. Get him out of here. To win, you sometimes have to be cold hearted and this is the time for that hard important decision.
Pingback: Tweets that mention Brad Lidge Blows Bus Trip | Phillies Nation -- Topsy.com
The reason charlie sticks with me is because I give him bj's after every game…yup that's the reason charlie continues to use me…
I was willing to cut Lidge a little bit of slack at first… let's be honest, after a year as bad as '09, he came into '10 walking on eggshells – any mistake at all and he'd be decried as a complete failure. But he has been consistently terrible in ways that cannot be chalked up to anything but pure lack of ability (especially command), and I am back to dreading save situations.
Nunzio, that's just it – the outing before this we saw vintage "Lights Out" with a stellar performance by Lidge.
Lidge is the closer, this is what Cholly has and he'll stick by him until his arm falls off, plain and simple.
Lidge is unpredictable and inconsistent. One game he looks great and the other he looks horrible. Until top management confront the issue, he is what we have. It stinks but it is what it is! Nice pictures of the bus trip by the way.
Wow, I just got finished browsing last night's game time blog. Now we're back to RAJ sucks, Ruin for tomorrow, Cholly needs to be fired… what a difference a day makes!
Haha yeah Brooks I agree with you, a lot of these bloggers are jokes. They dont really know what they are talking about and just spew junk everyday depending on the situation that second. They always criticize mets fans but they remind me a lot of them.
I have never supported RAJ, never thought he was a good GM, always thought he was going to hurt us in the long run which it looks like it might happen. Charlie on the other hand I have always defended him, always supported him but now I am officially no longer a supporter of him. He is a big reason we are not doing so well this season, he keeps going back to the well when it is dry. With all the injuries and lack of performance by people he needs to change things up but he wont.
But yeah I am too the point where I only read some of the peoples posts, 95 percent of the people on here have NO IDEA what they are talking about and either say we will win the World Series one day and then the next its fire anyone who made a mistake in the last game. Although the writers to write for this site are great. The only reason I still come back.
Don't blame Lidge. Off his last outing where he gave up a couple of runs, Manuel should have watched him more closely. He was pitching lousy and it seems everyone except Charlie Manuel knew it.
The solution is not to blame Lidge. He should have been pulled. The problem with the Phillies is CHARLIE MANUEL. He is a total idiot. he refuses to play small ball and move runners into scoring position. He plays against the odds by doing this. He leaves most pitchers in until they give up 5 runs and the game is out of reach.Gary Matthews is always mildly saying this. He can't say more, because he would be fired. In my opinion, Gary Matthews would be a great coach for the Phillies.
Dump Manuel, Dubee and Reuben Amaro. Everytime we give up a pitcher in trade, the pitcher seems to do better elswhere. Why Reuben Amaro? He gave up Cliff Lee, and traded a good up and coming pitcher in J. Happ. What did he get in return- a pitcher who leads the NL in losses with 13.
Just cant keep trotting lidge out there hoping he comes around. phils cant keep giving games away at this point in the season. the idea that..well we pay him alot of coin to close so we're gonna stick with him no matter what is idiotic. he's had two years to get right. he helped piss away last year. ya cant afford to let another season go down the shitter just because brad isnt right.
Now I know why they call Brad "Lights Out". Every time I watch him try to convert a save I'm afraid to turn the lights out in my house for fear of the horror show that will ensue.
Quite frankly though, Charlie has no better option. Methinks we might be able to get an arm after the non waiver deadline. Or I hope.
The Dipsy
RAJ should take lead from Frank Wren.
We sent down McLouth , and Kawakami. Close
To 12mil+ since they are not helping us.
BTW after a great start even Wagner is
Struggling lately. Could be the heat
Getting to these closers than anyone
Brad Lidge was signed to his current contract by Pat Gillick, who also handicapped the Phils with Adam Eaton and Geoff Jenkins. That Amaro has been able to do anything with those players' contracts hanging around his neck like albatrosses is a credit to his abilities. It's certainly not his fault that Lidge has sucked and that there is no money to sign a new closer. (Note that in BOTH the Halladay and Oswalt trades, he got money back. Also note that even though some of his contracts are for high dollars, that those contracts are still generally at or below market value.)
Thank heavens he didn't give up the Phils' top prospect for a suspect talent like Matt Capps, or two players for Dotel, who is little more now than a lefty specialist. Its time we lay off of Amaro.
Manuel has also been hamstrung. One can't remove a closer when there's no one else who can close. Maybe he saw Lidge performing poorly last night, but maybe there was insufficient time for someone else to get loose. He's obviously trying other options, or he wouldn't have used Madson and Romero in the ninth inning Saturday, and he's tried numerous batting lineups. Not playing "small ball" is another BS argument. Most all the Phils, from what I've read, have carte blanche as far as when to steal. And there are very few players on the team with the kind of bat control needed to bunt or hit-and-run. Power hitters rarely do have that talent.
Dipsy, you know why we called him "Lights Out" but that is part of our glory history. I like "On the Ledge Lidge" (credit due to another blogger) now.
I don't think Cholly is an idiot, but he makes some mistakes (OK, sometimes bonehead moves) like everybody else. For the better part of the past 5 years though, Cholly's record speaks for itself. We got into the WS last year with a worse closing situation than this year. OK, Ledge's ERA might be heading in that same direction but he does have a W this year!
I'm still sticking by consistent offense – that will get us to the promised land once again. Our starting pitching staff should be able to (he says confidently) take us all the way to the WS.
George, WELL SAID.. Like someone said
Earlier most of these bloggers are jokes
What I don't understand is why does
Charlie have to show his frustrations
in front of media? Bobby Cox never
does such a thing. He loves his players
and they give 100pct because of that
Look at Prado, Infante, Diaz, who are
performing because of the support
Bobby gives them. Braves picked them
When others released them and Bobby
helped their confidence
Awwwww…so sorry that your invasion was spoiled by your joke of a closer. Again, did any of you drunk fans vomit on each other on the way back to Filthy?
Thank heavens there is no Matt Capps or Kerry Wood.
Please bring the retard who talks about WAR and players values.
Tough to win with Bitch Williams and/or Bradley.
But keep running them out.
Bobby Cox won 19 straight divisions and 1 WS
Sell crazy someplace else.
Someone typed those words?
Wow this is why we sit here with wha we do. Good luck Bradley.
Thanks for 08
These are the words.
Thank heavens he didn't give up the Phils' top prospect for a suspect talent like Matt Capps, or two players for Dotel, who is little more now than a lefty specialist. Its time we lay off of Amaro.
Terrible, terrible, terrible.
That pitch to Zimmerman… biggest meatball I've ever seen.
Well Kerry Wood or Matt Capps they might be the worst.
But when you already have the worst no need to trade.
Why have a suspect when you have a convicted?
He should be available today. Fall in love all over again. Like 2008
Bottom line after winning 8 in a row. you are now playing the worst of the worst. any big team, yankees, rangers would just spank the nats. we are not doing that. terrible.
Woke up this morning still sick over the game last night. The Phillies fight back to take the lead and out comes Lidge and deflates their tires. I blame dumb Charlie for losing another game. Him and his stupid mentality of 'Do or Die with Lidge' stinks. Anyone in their right mind (you don't even have to know anything about baseball)could see he didn't have it again. He was struggling from the start and after the walk … dumb Charlie should have pulled him. Anyother manager with good sense would have did it. So, we lost another heartbreaker with Lidge. It's going to keep happening and keep happening until they realize that this guy just doesn't have it anymore!
To use Andrew's analogy, Brad Lidge blows more than a stripper at a star trek convention.
The Nats are by far not the worse. Now, when we lost 3 out of 4 to the Pirates, ok there ya go. But the Nationals aren't as bad as many people say, not this year. Anyway, Charlie will keep sending in Lidge til September, after another 8 blown saves. He's gotta break the record of most blown saves in a single season first at least. I seriously think if Jose Contreras starts closing games, we'll be in business. He was great earlier this year, 3/3 saves, and was being put into a lot of non-save situations also. The think I'm seeing with Brad is if the other team has the momentum, he loses it. Like last night, leadoff hit, then sac-bunt, then walk, then homerun. It always happens. Either that, or 2 outs, then 2-run BOMB, then bases loaded, then FINALLY the 3rd out. Earlier this year we were up 10-4 in Milwaukee and they sent in David Herndon to finish it out, he had allowed a run and loaded the bases with I think none out. Jose came in to close and allowed just the runner from 3rd to score and then got the 3 outs, final score was 10-6. I mean, if Bad Brad came in, I gaurantee the final score would've been either 10-9 or 11-10. I have zero confidence in Lidge, he should walk down to Florida.
Facing another lefty today, ugh. Cole has to dominate to avoid the sweep. A must win today.
How about Harold Garcia tearing it up at Reading. Kid can play.
Can he close?
Brad lidge reminds me of Artie Lange and a steak knife. Over and over
I wonder what Phillies management's plans are for Jayson Werth? It seems an opportunity was lost before non-waiver deadline to find bullpen help that Werth would have brought in a trade. It does not have to be a closer since I feel Madson or Contreras (depending on match-ups) could close. The need is for a reliable setup reliever to Madson/Contreras. Otherwise Manuel may go to "bullpen by committee" which obviously is not the best way to go. Lidge? I'm afraid his days are numbered and may ride out the season as just another arm in the pen. A more realistic scenario is Manuel will probably offer him another opportunity to close again.. or.. wait and see if he regains his effectiveness during the last two months of the season in non-save situations.
Pretty soon the players will stop trying to win, knowing that Lidge will just come in and blow the game . Good-by season. Thanks, CM. This team has the talent to win no matter who is in charge. My vote is for Ricky Bo. At least He tells the truth and knows when to pull somebody. One other thing irks me, when did Gary Matthews get his bust in Cooperstown??? From the 4th to the 6th inning I get so sick of hearing what a great player he was, how He would manage this team, how He would steal bases, how He would hit, how He would field, etc, etc. In 16 seasons He avg. 19 HR, 78 RBI .281 BA. a year, not to impressive! To hear him talk, You would think He had better numbers than Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and Roberto Clemente together. Time for a change, He's nothing but an old bag of wind.
Hey, went down to DC for the weekend with my lady and had some decent seats. Saw all of the Phillies nation people in their section but we were in 113 so a bit far to say hello. It was a rough loss, especially getting heckled by Nationals fans on the way out. I sported my Halladay jersey with pride however, and quickly reminded the fans of where they are in the standings.
Great posting, even better pictures.
The Pizza Bagel
I cant believe a Mets fan would come on here at all. How are the mets doing? LOL. Are they under .500 yet? LOL. They did lose 14-1 today against the DIAMONDBACKS! LOL. As for "what a difference a day makes". For some people yes, but some of us have really questioned things last season and this. I questions Cholly last season, and I got ridiculed non-stop. How could I possibly blame Cholly. My point the entire time is not that Cholly is a bad manager, I just dont think he is as great as some want to make him out to be. I had long said last season, Charlie Manuel is a completely different Manager in 09 and 10 versus .08…Why? I believe I lot of it was Jimy Williams. In '08, Charlie was always sitting next to him, always talking to him, and that could DEFINATELY have something to do with it, that Charlie is better with Jimy there! If you think that a bench coach, or someone classified as a "coach" does nothing, or its ALL the manager, you clearly have never paid attention to the game of baseball. For instance…Don Zimmer. 'nuff said. Don Zimmer has more League Champion Rings, and WS rings than anyone else in recent history, between the Yankees (under Torre), now the Rays under Madden.
It is not just a coincidence that the Yankees won 3 straight titles under Torre and Zimmer after years of a drought. It is no coincidence that the Rays have improved from one of the worst teams (when it was the Devil Rays) to being one of the best (under Madden and Zimmer). If you watched baseball then, and know how the teams operated, there are very noticeble comparisons between the two, how they played, how they operated, and how they were constructed…Those teams were known for SPEED, small ball and squeezes, instead of mostly power.
Is Charlie a bad manager? No I dont think so, but I believe Cholly benefited from a great bench coach, and group of players who had (and really still have) great chemistry, and were good or great players, and played as a team. The questions with this team mostly come from some decisions made, most recently, you have a closer who was CLEARLY off his game, could NOT control the ball at all, gave up a leadoff single, then got one out, and lost the control, with a walk to Kennedy. Sure you look and say first and second, go for the DP…PROBLEM…Lidge had ZERO control in that game. It is not an opinion, it is a fact if you actually watched that inning.
Any pitcher with an ERA of 7+ (and who gets paid $10 million) STINKS! Dump him!

This nonsense about players from overseas playing Origin or for Australia is just that, nonsense. Every player who has represented another country and then played for Australia, NSW or Qld (or vice versa) played their first game of RL in Australia.

My inbox is inundated with drafts upon drafts of our announcement postcard, poster and exhibition catalogue – but they are all done and off to the printers. Big, very big sigh of relief. Hopefully all this rewriting and proofreading will ease me into my thesis…
Once everything was sent to the printers, there was really no time to take a break – Prof. Solomon and I had to complete the wall label texts, choose paint colors for the walls, decide the layout of the show, double-check and then triple-check shipping details for the pick-up of some works in New York. Here's hoping that the ostrich arrives safely…
I poked through my window blinds and saw that Hannum Drive was sleeping under a blanket of snow. In spite of the fact that it is Saturday and I no longer have to desperately put my ear against the radio to hear if school's been canceled, I still love the feeling of snow days – sitting at home with tea to drink, movies to watch, books to read….oh, wait.
Scratch that.
After realizing that I was no longer in high school, I remembered that I still had 3-4 emails to send to Mike our designer and to Prof. Solomon. We have 40 days until opening night and deadlines for EVERYTHING are fast fast fast approaching. For the past two weeks, Prof. Solomon, Matthew, James, and I have been circulating what feels like 82734 emails as we finalized our official Press Release which is now done done done! Meanwhile, Prof. Solomon and I have been neck-deep in work, trying to complete all the texts for the exhibition catalogue. This has definitely been the hardest and most rewarding work I've experienced yet. It's really quite embarrassing to admit how utterly clueless I was when I first started writing the artists' bios but with the patient and wise help of Prof. Solomon, I now have some idea of how to approach catalogue writing.
I already foresee a hectic week in front of me. Matthew reminded me that the poster/announcement card designs needed to be done ASAP in order for them to be out by March's First Friday. With two weeks saved for printing, this means that Mike needs the designs done by Mon/Wed latest. PR stuff is looming above my head but these catalogue texts need to be done first!
4 different artist/work info lists to "OK" and send off
5 artist 'blurbs' to rewrite
1 more artist photo – still waiting to hear back from gallery
1 high quality reproduction of photograph – still waiting to hear back from gallery
2 dates to confirm for my gallery tours (this should've been done weeks ago!)
4–no, 5—- probably 7.. 10…12?? different sources to contact about PR opportunities…
… and PINK!
End of a long but very productive day with Prof. Solomon, Matthew, James, and Mike our designer. Many things were brought up including PR ideas in major art magazines, the actual layout of the show, artist visits, and (ta-da!) our show's color scheme! After much debate (really!) and critical thinking, pink will be the major color – in good and moderate taste, of course.
On that note, I leave you with some helpful advice from Kay Thompson:
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/zcCN6XA61Es" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
All in the life of a curator?? Two artists we were planning to invite have either won prizes or special residencies requiring for them to be abroad during the same time as our show- – which unfortunately means that there is a good chance that they won't be able to make it to Haverford for the opening or artists' panel. That was some discouraging news but Prof. Solomon didn't seem too hindered by the obstacle. I guess the hard part about contemporary artists is that their schedules are always changing…
In other news, Prof. Solomon and I received our first proof of our title page back last week! Lots of changes need to be made but very exciting project, nonetheless…
Break is almost over (last semester! gah) and I still have some work looming over me – - texts for the catalogue, images for the catalogue, finalized master lists – ah, and that thesis research I was wisely going to "get done before second semester started."
Back to writing!
looking for the contemporary of contemporaries?? for the most cutting edge work, art fairs and biennales serve as an oasis for the next big IT. During the preparation for Mapping Identity, it's been so exciting to see some of our artists participating in some of the most popular and cutting-edge art scenes out there…
Most recently, Gonkar Gyatso was just at Brisbane, Australia for the Asia Pacific Triennial and was at the Venice Biennale over the summer…
(for the interview, click here)
Over the summer, the Projects Gallery presented Glenn Kaino and the Edwynn Houk Gallery presented Lalla Essaydi at Art Basel in Miami.
Last spring at in Paris I first learned about Lalla Essaydi and Do-Ho Suh who were both featured at Art Paris under one of my favorite buildings of all time, the Grand Palais…
Around the same time Professor Solomon was at Art Dubai, one of the most exciting and newest art fairs, where she and Zoulikha Bouabdellah were one of three curator/artist teams to receive the first Abraaj Capital Art Prize for Bouabdellah's installation "Walk on the Sky."
Watch the interview here featuring Zoulikha and our very own Professor Carol Solomon!
and found this!
I am a big fan of The Sartorialist and was quite charmed by this photograph taken in Melbourne. After reading so much on the politics of the veil, how refreshing it is to find such a lovely, easy-going photograph of a girl who's just following her own personal style – and that scarf tied around the bag! Genius!
Currently writing this from my carrel at Carpenter Library watching youtube videos on Zineb Sedira. Her video MiddleSea will be on view during Mapping Identity, which I am currently *attempting* to discuss in a paper for my French cinema and immigration class.
Here's a snippet, but just know that this small little thing of a video link just doesn't do justice compared to how it will be installed at CFG…
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/OTDekiWr-0Q" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
Working in photography, installations, videos, Zineb also writes and presents many of her own personal writings (hmm, what doesn't she do???) concerning hybrid identity and her family's own experiences immigrating to France from Algeria.
A short update: Met with Mike, our graphic designer, last week in regards to our exhibit catalogue and it looks like things are off to a good start! Hmmm, yay or nay to embossed letters? Cover art or no???
Highlight of the day:
Found a picture of Prof. Solomon and myself on Gonkar's blog! Pretty cool. The picture is taken at his studio in New York.
Now, back to brainstorming for the exhibit catalog…
Kwame Anthony Appiah will be coming to speak on the night of our opening!
I'm hoping the Haverford community will begin to see that Mapping Identity is not just another show at CFG but an exhibit that incorporates so many ideas that are discussed in our classrooms – History of Art, Poli Sci, Anthropology, Sociology, etc – - Appiah talks about ideas we can all relate to as members of this interesting human race we are part of in the 21st century…

Barre police comparison: Then and now
BARRE Chief Tim Bombardier told city councilors this week that in the late 1970s the local police force was as big as is contemplated in the budget that will be on the ballot in March.
We had 20 (officers) at one point, he said. We had more than we have now.
Not according to a cursory review of the citys annual reports for the time period Bombardier identified in response to a question from Councilor Michael Boutin.
Boutin asked the question in an apparent attempt to make a connection between the more robust police force that he and three other members of the council successfully fought for during budget deliberations and the good old days in Barre.
The only problem is that while Bombardier supplied the answer Boutin was looking for, there isnt much evidence to suggest he was right.
Not in 1975, or 1976, or 1977, or 1978, or 1979, or 1980 or 1981
Copies of the annual reports for those years list the names and ranks of those on the Police Departments roster. Even if you added in a fluctuating number of clerk-dispatchers, there were never 20 of them unless you count the cadre of crossing guards needed before the city abandoned its network of neighborhood schools.
Though the structure of the department changed on an almost annual basis in those years, its size was fairly constant. During the fiscal year that ended June 30, 1975, there were 15 officers a figure that included Chief Floyd Chandler.
The department went from 15 to 16 members three years later when Paul Dranbauer took over as chief. It slipped to 14 during the fiscal year that ended June 30, 1979, then bumped back up to 16 in 1980.
By that time now-Deputy Chief Andrew Marceau was on the roster. When contacted for clarification Wednesday, Bombardier said Marceau was the source of the anecdotal information he relayed to the council moments after one of its members launched a spirited defense of the plan to hire two more police officers in Barre.
Bristling over what he said was some blowback from the councils decision, Councilor Charlie Dindo described a city that desperately needs a little more law enforcement.
Some people have told me I have overreacted, he said, referring to his role in the councils 4-3 vote to override the recommendation of its budget committee and include funding for two new officers in the proposed budget.
When you see a new ... SUV with tinted glass from Massachusetts drive up in your neighborhood, the tinted windows go down and theres a driver and a passenger with a mask on and there are drugs and guns involved, Im not overreacting, Dindo said, suggesting the problem extends well beyond his neighborhood.
Its happening all over Barre, he said, ticking down a lengthy list of streets and occasionally sprinkling in references to recent incidents.
Im not overreacting. Theres a problem, he said.
According to Dindo, adding two officers to the citys 18-member force would bring it closer to what he described as the average 21 for departments in Vermont communities that, like Barre, have populations in excess of 9,000.
Only 11 communities fit that description, and most, like Burlington, Essex, Rutland, Colchester, South Burlington and Bennington, are significantly larger than Barre, which has a population of just under 9,300.
Bombardier, who did not request any additional officers this year but welcomed the councils decision to add them, said Wednesday that based on the national average of 2.3 officers per 1,000 residents, the proposed staffing increase was more than justified.
Dindo said Tuesday that was particularly true given what city officials have long argued is a disproportionate number of people under the supervision of the state Department of Corrections who live in Barre.
That figure stands at a little over 300, according to Dindo, who argued it has created a strain on the Police Department.
We are way understaffed, he said.
In other business Tuesday, the council agreed to require the owner of a South Main Street bar to come before the council.
South Side Tavern recently waived its right to a hearing and agreed to pay a $1,500 fine for a series of violations allegedly detected by a state liquor inspector last year.
That development prompted Councilor Paul Poirier to suggest a meeting with the owner.
Poirier said he has heard allegations of questionable behavior and drug activity involving the bar from some of its past patrons as well as members of the police.
From what Ive heard I think its an unsafe situation, he said.
Bombardier said police have responded to the bar 12 times in the past year and he hadnt yet signed off on a request to renew the liquor license for the establishment.
Councilors agreed to ask the applicant to attend their Feb. 19 meeting to discuss renewal of the liquor license.

I scan the newspaper ads weekly to see who has the best price for the best products! I am not a pricing service. I do not work for or have any support from the manufacturers or from the dealers!
1 Ye shall explain what appliance you are replacing
2 Ye shall explain in detail what you would like to buy or purchase
3 Ye shall understand that my questions to you ( while seemingly personal) are to help you realize whether an appliance will work for you.

Thanks for your help with my freezer problem
Now my upstairs refrigerator is leaking water from the top freezer down to the bottom refrigerator. I thought maybe it was because I put a lot of stuff in as soon as I realized my big freezer wasn't working. I cleaned it all out and threw some stuff away. There is still water leaking and then it freezes under the fruit bins. I have not purchased a freezer yet and am wondering if I should replace this first. It is a Whirlpool that I bought in 1998 when I moved into this house. Thanks!
Nothing about aligning the switches. You'll probably have to remove the panel and see if the mounting screws for those switches are tight and try movng them around to see where they work best.
touch and feel
no actual template
Whirlpool EB21DK bottom freezer 21CF 1994 refrigerator, freezer is fine but the refrigerator is 55 at best regardless of the temp dial setting. It's been damp and raining, the humidity switch is turned on.
I removed the panel on the back of the freezer and defrosted the area around the fan that leads to the refrigerator. It was maybe 20% solid ice around it. There was some other ice in the area behind the panel, notably in the upper left corner by some wire connectors, but nothing much significant. I did notice the roof of the freezer was dripping a lot, especially towards the front where there's a removable trim piece resembling a gutter strip.
What would you suggest?
BikerEric, sorry I didn't go through this whole thread as I would have to rip my hair out. Do you know about central air conditioner units? My cooling in the house hasn't been great so I checked the attic for air leaks in the duct, found one, fixed it. Replacing my air filter I noticed a wire not attached to anything looks like it go to a motor, so I took pics. Before I post figured I'd ask before wasting bandwidth with pics of what I'm talking about.
was the coil frozen over, almost entirely?
I don't think Mr SD wants it to look like we are endorsing one site over the other.

State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies are required to submit a State Plan describing the manner in which they administer the VR and Supported Employment programs in their states.
Information Memorandum, IM-09-02 (available in MS Word or PDF format), dated January 9, 2009, transmits the State Plan for Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Services and the Supplement for Supported Employment (SE) Services, along with instructions for completion of the Plan and supplement. The preprint (available in the on-line RSA-MIS system and also in MS Word or PDF format) and additional instructions (in MS Word or PDF format) are also available.
All required updates and amendments constituting the FY 2010 State Plans and supplement must be submitted to RSA no later than July 1, 2009. Once RSA has completed its review and approval of the FY 2010 State Plans, we will notify agencies that the plans are approved as of October 1, 2009.
RSA has implemented an on-line submission process through the RSA management information system (at https://rsa.ed.gov) and is encouraging states to submit their State Plans on-line via the RSA MIS. States submitting their State Plans on-line should submit the entire preprint, including certification pages, and all corresponding attachments, regardless of whether they have been previously approved by RSA, that comprise a complete State Plan and Supplement for FY 2010. By submitting the complete State Plan this year, the RSA MIS will be able to capture all State Plan materials and maintain them electronically for use in subsequent years.

Here are the top tech news and stories of the day.
- Bitcoin-funded online casino turned a $572,000 profit after six months of operation – Bitcoin casinos started popping up last year, offering gamblers a chance to continue to gamble online. One such casino, which had a game that focused on whether or not a roll of the die was higher than there's made over $500k (only 33k in Bitcoin) in 2012. They took over 2.3M bets, and paid out over $22M in only 245 days of operation. Via The Verge, more here.
- Google removes obstacle for Netflix (and more) on Samsung Chromebooks – On Tuesday, Google added ARM support to their Native Client (NaCl). It is what enables applications to run in Chrome windows. This increases greatly the viability of the $249 Samsung ARM Chromebook (on which this article is currently being written). Via GigaOM, more here.
- The New ARM Juggernaut Is A Server On A Chip – Applied Micro Circuit has created a server-on-a-chip ARM architecture. In order to increase efficiency, they have created a server that sips power like a smartphone or tablet. Via TechCrunch, more here.
- You Can Squeeze 2.2 Petabytes of Data Into One Gram of DNA – Researchers at the European Bioinformatics Institute have been jamming information into synthetic DNA. They are now wable to store 2.2PB in a single gram of DNA. They can also extract it with 100% accuracy. If this continues, we might one day see organic storage linked to quantum processing? Via Gizmodo, more here.
- With 250M users, Apple plans to invest much more in iCloud and other services – I don't think many people use iCloud to the fullest extent of its capabilities (the same of course could be said for many consumer devices). However, Apple is hoping to change that by investing a great deal in the service. Over a dozen Apple services are handled by iCloud (and that number will probably only grow). iMessages is the most successful of the iCloud programs, but the 2B iMessages a day are only a drop in the bucket of what they hope to accomplish. Via GigaOM, more here.
- Popularity of Chinese version of Twitter growing in China – The "Chinese Twitter" now has 400M unique users, who generate 150M posts a day. As one of the closet things to free speech in China, it is incredibly popular. The capability is called Weibo, which has some advanced features Twitter does not have. Via FierceGovernmentIT, more here.
- Twitter debuts new video-sharing app Vine – The new "microcamcorder" Vine application, allows you to share up to six seconds of video in your Twitter feed. I am not positive how much can be effectively communicated in six seconds, and I'm not too interested in the service myself. But as a Twitter product, it will at least be tested extensively. Via GigaOM, more here.
- RIM unveils mobile management software support for Apple and Android devices – It might have taken a long time, but it seems RIM finally has realized that BB10 is not the future. They will be offering BYOD support for Android and iOS in their mobile management software. The decision to support non-BlackBerry devices "was really driven by our customers," RIM senior director of enterprise product management, Jeff Holleran, told Computerworld Australia.

The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to simplify and streamline our lives by automating routine tasks that distract us from our goals. This promise is based on the ubiquitous deployment of smart, connected devices that link everything from industrial control systems to automobiles to refrigerators.

More and more brands have jumped on the IoT bandwagon. We have an excess of wearables – activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no idea what "IoT" means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users should be. We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it swung toward "smart for smar...

The art of Peter Sheehan
October 30, 2013 —
HASBROUCK, NY — The wide range of Peter Sheehan's art will be on display starting November 3 at the Old Stone House of Hasbrouck, a community-based gallery. The exhibit begins with an opening reception from 1 to 4 p.m. on November 3, including all the makings for a pleasant luncheon.
"It's my love affair with the land that inspires my art," says Sheehan, noting that his latest works all bear signs of "the fields, mist, light, trees and stone all around me."
Sheehan has a Masters of Fine Arts from SUNY New Paltz. For a time, he taught photography and 3-D design. When the state expanded its programming at Wallkill Correctional Facility, Peter ran a woodworking craft shop and instruction in painting and drawing, with several of his prisoner-students exhibiting in a statewide show titled "Corrections on Canvas."
The Old Stone House of Hasbrouck is at 282 Hasbrouck Rd., in the wider community of Fallsburg, NY. For driving directions and more information, visit www.TheOldStoneHouse OfHabrouck.org.
