Featured New Nonfiction for January
Click here for a list of all our new nonfiction titles!
The introvert's way : living a quiet life in a noisy world (155.2 D) -- This clever and pithy book challenges introverts to take ownership of their personalities...with quiet strength. Sophia Dembling asserts that the introvert's lifestyle is not "wrong" or lacking, as society or extroverts would have us believe. Through a combination of personal insights and psychology, The Introvert's Way helps and encourages introverts to embrace their nature, to respect traits they may have been ashamed of and reframe them as assets.
Twentysomething : why do young adults seem stuck? (305.24 H) -- Henig wrote a provocative article for the New York Times Magazine called "What is it about 20-somethings?" It generated enormous reader response and started a conversation that included both millennials and baby boomers. Looking through many lenses, the Henigs ask whether emerging adulthood has truly become a new rite of passage. They examine the latest neuroscience and psychological research, the financial pressures young people face now, changing cultural expectations, the aftereffects of helicopter parenting, and the changes that have arisen from social media and all things Internet. Most important, they have surveyed more than 120 millennials and baby boomers to give voice to both viewpoints of a conversation that is usually one-sided.
Save more tomorrow : practical behavioral finance solutions to improve 401K plans (332.024 B) -- Half of Americans do not have access to a retirement saving plan at their workplace. Of those who do about a third fail to join. And those who do join tend to save too little and often make unwise investment decisions. In short, the 401(k) world is in crisis, and workers need help. Save More Tomorrow provides that help by focusing on the behavioral challenges that led to this crisis -- inertia, limited self-control, loss aversion, and myopia—and transforms them into behavioral solutions. These solutions, or tools, are based on cutting edge behavioral finance research and they can dramatically improve outcomes.
The great pearl heist : London's greatest thief and Scotland Yard's hunt for the world's most valuable necklace (364.162 C) -- In the summer of 1913, under the cover of London's perpetual smoggy dusk, two brilliant minds are pitted against each other--a celebrated gentleman thief and a talented Scotland Yard detective--in the greatest jewel heist of the new century.
Skulls : an exploration of Alan Dudley's curious collection (573.76 W) -- Tells the rich and fascinating story of skulls, both human and animal, from every perspective imaginable: historical, biographical, cultural, and iconographic. Presenting details about the parts of the skull (including the cranium, the mandible, the shape and positioning of the eye sockets, and species-specific features like horns, teeth, beaks and bills), information about the science and pseudoscience of skulls, and a look at skulls in religion, art and popular culture, his stories and information are riveting and enlightening.
Bird-watcher's bible : a complete treasury--science, know-how, beauty, lore (598.0723 B) -- A guide to bird watching covers topics ranging from mythology and birdhouses to the work of Audubon and Angry Birds, combining images with trivia, top ten lists, and bird watching guidelines.
Super brain : unleashing the explosive power of your mind to maximize health, happiness, and spiritual well-being (612.82 C) -- Chopra and Tanzi show readers how, through a person's increased self-awareness and conscious intention, the brain can be taught to reach far beyond its present limitations and become a gateway for achieving health, happiness, and spiritual growth.
Shakespeare's tremor and Orwell's cough : the medical lives of great writers (820.9 R) -- The Bard meets House, M.D. in this fascinating untold story of the impact of disease on the lives and works of some the finest writers in the English language. In Shakespeare's Tremor and Orwell's Cough, John Ross cheerfully debunks old biographical myths and suggests fresh diagnoses for these writers' real-life medical mysteries. The author takes us way back, when leeches were used for bleeding and cupping was a common method of cure, to a time before vaccinations, sterilized scalpels, or real drug regimens. With a healthy dose of gross descriptions and a deep love for the literary output of these ten greats, Ross is the doctor these writers should have had in their time of need.
Walking the Amazon : 860 days -- one step at a time (918.11 S) -- Describes the author's quest to walk the entire length of the Amazon River, offering details on the effects of deforestation and his encounters with both vicious animals and tribal members with machetes.
38 nooses : Lincoln, Little Crow, and the beginning of the frontier's end (973.7 B) -- "38 Nooses" details the events surrounding the 1862 uprising of the Dakota Indians led by Little Crow within the larger context of the Civil War, the history of the Dakota people, and the subsequent United States-Indian wars.
The girl who fell to Earth : a memoir (B AL-MARIA) -- When Sophia Al-Maria's mother sends her away from rainy Washington State to stay with her husband's desert-dwelling Bedouin family in Qatar, she intends it to be a sort of teenage cultural boot camp. What her mother doesn't know is that there are some things about growing up that are universal. In Qatar, Sophia is faced with a new world she'd only imagined as a child. She sets out to find her freedom, even in the most unlikely of places.
Mary Wells : the tumultuous life of Motown's first superstar (B WELLS) -- Based in part on four hours of previously unreleased and unpublicized deathbed interviews with Wells, this account delves deeply into her rapid rise and long fall as a recording artist, her spectacular romantic and family life, the violent incidents in which she was a participant, and her abuse of drugs. From tumultuous affairs, including one with R&B superstar Jackie Wilson, to a courageous battle with throat cancer that climaxed in her gutsiest performance, this history draws upon years of interviews with Wells's friends, lovers, and husband to tell the whole story of a woman whose songs crossed the color line and whose voice captivated the Beatles.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $2.74 (20% off)
This is rubbish - not all 'natural'. Bad Solgar. That aside - what vit A top reviewer ???
Posted by Health-Is-Wealth on Dec 05, 2013
Very misleading label - this contains vit D derived from lanolin, not just fish liver oil. The equivalent product label on their UK web site clearly states 'from fish liver oil AND cholecalciferol' (or refer the 'natural' 400iu on their dot com web site - 'Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol AND fish liver oil)'). This label also notes 'fish oil' under 'other ingredients' - fishy label is fishy! I never buy vit D derived from lanolin and will never buy this again, nor recommend it. It's a shame Solgar haven't noted the source of the vit D on the label in a user friendly way, so people who don't tolerate irradiated sheep wool fat can easily tell (rather than play detective after reacting poorly to a product). This isn't the first Solgar product that's let me down. I used to buy Solgar preferentially, but not anymore - I'd rather support brands that make it easy to buy their stuff. HOWEVER - I'm not sure which label the top reviewer was looking at. Nowhere on this product does it state it contains vit A. Given the suggested dose is one to TWO soft gels per day, by the reviewers estimations that'd mean ingesting 6000iu of vit A - well over the RDI, meaning this bottle would be required to carry the standard warning. While I admonish Solgar for not clearly noting the source of the vit D, I believe they're reputable enough that they wouldn't intentionally poison people. Contact them if in doubt - I did, and they clearly confirmed all ingredients. If this review was helpful to you, please click YES below - thank you. For reviews of all the products I have purchased from iHerb, please click my username above.
Excellent product, but take care (it also contains Vitamin A)
Posted by Reviewer2236736 on Jul 06, 2010
I'm using a couple of Solgar products and they are all top notch. However, I did not pay attention to product details: beside vitamin D3 these gels also contain 3000 IU Vitamin A. This is important when, like me, using other supplements that also contain vitamin A. Keep an eye on the Upper Tolerable Intak Level (UL) of vitamins A!
Love this product.
Posted by Reviewer1547022 on Aug 29, 2008
Love this product. Is in gel cap and bottled in glass which I prefer rather than in plastic containers.
The best vitamin D on the market
Posted by Reviewer2976529 on Jan 31, 2009
I have this to be the most effective vitamin D on the market as proven by blood tests. Many other vitamin D's out there just don't do the job.
Natural Vitamin D and A
Posted by Reviewer1819798 on Jan 31, 2010
I only want to use natural vitamins. The vitamin D and A is natural from fish liver and more recognizable to your body. Can't find another brand with thise vitamins natural occuring.
solgar vitamin d3
Posted by Reviewer1969944 on Jan 27, 2010
D3 has helped my energy levels. I use Solgar brand a lot.
Don't overdo a good thing
Posted by Reviewer2905303 on Jun 27, 2011
I'm 54 years old and have gotten excellent results by taking half a gel (six drops) a day. If you're daily off-and-on sun exposure is cumulatively twelve minutes or more per day, you most likely don't need to be taking 1000 IU. Daily intake for persons 51 to 70 years old ought to be 400 IU (some say 600 IU). I take a sewing pin and pinch the gelatine capsule in order to squeeze out six drops of D3, which would be 500 IU. If my wife and I, who live in a very sunny country, were to take 1000 IU daily, we'd get pulsating headaches. D3 engages directly with various kinds of cancerous tumors and inhibits their further growth.
Solgar, Vitamin D3, 1000 IU, 250 Softgels
Posted by Reviewer2953896 on Nov 29, 2011
Excellent product very good value for money from a trusted company
Posted by Reviewer3064525 on Sep 08, 2009
I think Solgar makes the best D3 for the money
Right size, easy to swallow.
Posted by Reviewer2593305 on Aug 06, 2010
East to swallow, no side effects, not too large.

Compromise needed
To the editor:
After the last national election, I felt we were all losers. It was a relief to be free of dirty partisan ads, but I was still left with the feeling that dirty politics came out on top. This left little room for hope, but I may have counted Minnesota out too soon. My husband, Dick, has a well earned reputation as a man who is tight with money; yours as well as ours. Sixteen years of serving on the county board have further honed his budgeting skills. Pinching pennies will always be important to him, but there are social service programs he knows are vital and he is doing his best to make sure there are adequate provisions for these essential services. Public health, community security, safe highways and Early Childhood education are all worthy of our tax dollars. Help a child early in his life and we are less likely to see him involved with law enforcement when he grows up. Governor Dayton, (whom neither of us supported) has come up with a proposed budget which makes sense. No surprise that it isn't perfect but taxing all of us is the only method to pay for services that in one way or another benefit all of us.
Lower the over all sales tax to 5.5 percent, apply sales tax to garments valued over $100 as well as all services. Increase state income tax on households making more than $250,000 annually. These revenues will allow for a needed $500 property tax rebate for all Minnesota home owners in 2013 and forever unless changed by the Legislature. This budget reflects the pressure exerted on the Governor by county, and other local officials who insist that the burden of funding be shifted from property taxes and returned to a more equitable funding mechanism. This may not be the best plan anyone could come up with, but it is the best I've heard in the past decade.
Good representative government requires COMPROMISE! It is time for all of us to buy into a program that may offend some but gets the job done . Support Governor Dayton on this and urge your representatives to do the same; put aside partisan politics and do the right thing for Minnesota.

The basic framework of the deal Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid have hammered out is coming to light.
The provision the GOP is crowing over that the Obama Administration will check the income levels of those who receive a subsidy is already the law. Meanwhile, the GOP will let the rest of the year proceed above sequester level spending, give the unions another carve out of Obamacare, and extend the debt limit to February.
Im sure at the last minute theyll also delay the medical device tax so it looks like Harry Reid caved on something. Really, itll just be so McConnells and Boehners staffers on K Street get something out of the deal.
But dont worry. Karl Roves Crossroads group is going to start spending money to protect Mitch McConnell from Matt Bevin in Kentucky.
Ted Cruz was right all along. Americans need House Republicans to fight. Mitch McConnell has no appetite for it. Senate Republicans are openly hoping to blame a debt default on Ted Cruz. They want to blame him for everything. They hate being seen as the capitulators that they are.
Conservatives in the House of Representatives need to stand up and pledge to vote against any rule on this plan. It does not defund Obamacare. It does not delay Obamacare. Heck, it does not even require that Obamacare go into effect as designed with no exemptions, exceptions, or delays. If they wont defund or delay it, they should at least make it go into effect on schedule, on time, and by design not with another union carve out.
Extend the debt ceiling so the manufactured nonsense about defaulting goes away, then keep the fight on the continuing resolution about Obamacare.
The RedState contact email is now getting one anti-GOP email for every one anti-Democrat email. That has never happened before. All these polls showing America hates the GOP are accurate. Even Republicans hate the GOP and the GOP might have to learn that the hard way in 2014 primaries.
When Harry Reid and Glitch McConnell start giggling like imbeciles when talking on the Senate floor about the secret deal they've been negotiating, it's because they're about to agree on each thief's share of the American taxpayers wallet they've just stolen.
This plan sounds like something Mitch would agree to.
"They hate being seen as the capitulators that they are."
I believe most of us already know what cowards the RINO's are. most like me are looking for somewhere else to go. The Republicans E's are killing themselves.
We should not be surprised. They have been for a long time. I am no longer a Republican and never will be again as long as the RINOS run the show.
We have kicked the can down the road too many times.
That is all this so-called deal does.
I am ready to march with my new pitch fork. . . .
He has promised default. If he delivers, it should mean impeachment. Impeachment or not, it will bring about the collapse of what little remains of constitutional government.
With congress at a total impasse, Obama will get what the left has plotted and schemed for these past hundred years, rule by decree.
After the primaries, the "R's" are hittin' the "R"oad.
Team Romney [exempt from RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE]
DEMANDS death panels for YOU and your family.
For them? Your $$$$$$$$$$ And a platinum system.
The GOP belongs in HELL for creating this mess,
and then foisting it on America with Romney claiming
he 'knew nothing'.
New Speaker, New Senate Minority Leader...NOW!
McConnell is just trying to salvage his political partners' chances in the elections next year.
Sen. Ted Cruz met with roughly 15 to 20 House Republicans for roughly two hours late Monday night at the Capitol Hill watering hole Tortilla Coast.
The group appeared to be talking strategy about how they should respond to a tentative Senate deal to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling without addressing Obamacare in a substantive way, according to sources who witnessed the gathering. The Texas Republican senator and many of House Republicans in attendance had insisted on including amendments aimed at dismantling Obamacare in the continuing resolution that was intended to avert the current shutdown.
Sources said the House Republicans meeting in the basement of Tortilla Coast with Cruz were some of the most conservative in the House: Reps. Louie Gohmert of Texas, Steve King of Iowa, Jim Jordan of Ohio, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Raúl Labrador of Idaho, Steve Southerland of Florida, Mark Meadows of North Carolina, and Justin Amash of Michigan.
The group is a collection of members who have often given leadership headaches in recent years by opposing both compromise measures as well as packages crafted by fellow Republicans. And, it seems, leadership unwittingly became aware of the meetup.
While the dinner meeting was held in a private basement room, the group was spotted by Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., who was dining with some other members, including Gregg Harper, R-Miss. McCarthy is a regular at the Capitol Hill watering hole, and a source said he seemed particularly interested in what the group was up to.

It is much more than kicking that can a bit further. It is improving the Democrats' electoral prospects for the imminent midterms. That is important to McConnell, and Boner and the Mainstream Republicans. Being Speaker is a nice job. One would think that Boner would want to keep that job past November of next year. I don't think he does, though.
LLLuuucy! I'm Ho-oome!
Union and corporation obamacare relief is not a kick of the can. It's a kick in the face to everybody on Main Street forced to live under the tyranny of kenyancare.
So they are fighting for something which is already the law.
Remind me never to hire these clowns to negotiate for me. I would wind up paying two times the asking price for a house.
Clowns on parade.
Can't believe there's still people on FR who call themselves Republican.
When are people going to accept that the GOP doesn't want to cut spending. They don't even want to cut waste, fraud, abuse. All any of them want, except for a select few, is ride the horse until it dies.
I have said, for a long time, that many voters who belong on our side will never, ever vote for a Republican, so deep is their hatred of the GOP. It is, to me, the major reason to support a new, conservative party.
I live in NH, where some of the most loathesome country-clubbers on Earth are the face of the party, so, of course, YMMV based on where you live.
" All any of them want, except for a select few, is ride the horse until it dies."
And then go to work as a 7 figure lobbyist. Really, it's the same for all politicians, isn't it? What they care about is winning the next election and then, when ready to retire, cashing in. Sigh....
Is it possible to have a government without politicians?
See new tag line.
"Ted Cruz was right all along. Americans need House Republicans to fight. Mitch McConnell has no appetite for it. Senate Republicans are openly hoping to blame a debt default on Ted Cruz. They want to blame him for everything. They hate being seen as the capitulators that they are."
Has Ted Cruz said that Repubs should force a default rather than fund Obamacare? That would take some real cajones, but I haven't found where Cruz spells that out. Anybody know what Cruz wants in order for him to declare victory and abandon the fight?
This is the only way you get a viable third party. A sizeable group of already elected officials with name recognition and the power of incumbency from secure conservative districts have to leave the GOP as a body and form the core of the new conservative movement.
Running from the outside is a guaranteed failure, and win for the democrat-socialists.
And the horse is on it's last legs.
Americans need House Republicans to fight. Mitch McConnell has no appetite for it.
Look at the difference between how the GOPe talk with / work with the democrats and how they deal with conservatives.
McConnell has plenty of fight in him when he's going after conservatives. He's much more willing to give and deal with the democrats.
Moral of the story: He's a fighter as long as he's fighting his enemies.
Anybody know what Cruz wants in order for him to declare victory and abandon the fight?
He's been pretty clear: He wants the House to defund Obamacare.
"I hope the House forces Obamas hand."
Yep. The last thing you want is to be holding the bag on Thursday (on something in which you had absolutely no input).
Instead, turn the tables on the Dems. There are lots of vulnerable Dems in the Senate (WV gun-grabbing Senator Joe Marxist, for example)... publicly invite them to the table if need be, and then put the heat on them- just like Harry Reid and Obama do to the Repubs. If they say no, then they will be the obstructionists here- and it will be clear to voters back home that they only take marching orders from Obama...
(And if a deal is reached with the vulnerable Dems... then Obama will be at clear risk for rejecting a bipartisan deal).
I approve of my senator and what he is doing.
We are in no condition to fight Obama because we are already fighting a two front war against the GOP and the media. The media must be defeated first. It is time for bold action.
Exactly my thoughts.....
Well, Ez, things have reached the point where there is no remedy in the Republicrat Party. The Constitution is in tatters, the Supreme Court is larded with traitorous Obama running dogs, the nation is full of homosexuals, illegal trespassing criminals, Muslims, and perpetually malcontented negroes who are being constantly whipped into a state of what they believe is not criminal activity.
Obama has 'quietly' removed or demoted any general officers who would lead the nation to a revolutionary move on the seat of the central socialist government's power. Perhaps it's up to the NCOs and the few field grade officers who are not contaminated by political correctness.
At any rate the nation simply is unable to withstand the onslaught on our morals, religion or laws unenforced.
Anybody who thinks Zero will keep a deal must not have noticed how often he ignores the law.
They first come in green.
Then they quickly turn yellow.
Soon after they become rotten.
10th amendment much?
No, you don't.
Ted Cruz had them on the run. The GOPe ends up making concessions to the Democrats.
I agree completely, sad to say.
See my tag line.
If boner caves he should go ahead and adjourn the house, tell them to go home and draw their paychecks but don't plan on ever returning.
I often ask myself "What will it take to get the people in the streets?" I no longer ask myself that. The people should have been in the streets a long time ago. Now it's too late. I've been suggesting a third party for years. I'm afraid it's too late for that, too.
We suffer from unlimited power consolidated in Wash, DC.
The 17th amendment enabled the consolidation.
From a vanity post last February:
The 17th Amendment did not simply mean the people vote for members to both houses of Congress. It meant member State republics no longer shared in the larger government. The States lost the single structural weapon to limit the national government to enumerated powers and keep it out of their local matters. For practical purposes the 10th Amendment no longer exists. As feared by the Federalists over two hundred years ago, without State participation, a national government would inevitably expand, become despotic, oppressive and soon snuff out our freedoms.
Consider this warning from James Madison. At the Virginia ratification convention on June 6th 1788, he responded to Patrick Henrys charge that the Constitutions enumerated powers would be usurped and our freedoms destroyed by a national government that would quickly seize all power.
Madison: If the general government were wholly independent of the governments of the particular states, then, indeed, usurpation might be expected to the fullest extent. But, sir, on whom does this general government depend? It derives its authority from these governments, and from the same sources from which their authority is derived.
Until the 17th is repealed and federalism is restored, everything else we can do is a waste of time.
Impeachment but never convicted. The senate will never vote for it no matter what he does.
> Having hammered out a deal to shoot back to the Senate tonight — with most Republicans reportedly on board... Then the medical device tax delay was stripped out, and the "full Vitter Amendment" (no special treatment under Obamacare for Congress, staffers, and White House officials) was inserted in... opposed to stalling or repealing the tax as part of this deal... The delay would look like another favor to big business rather than the little guy... would take the issue off the table as a Democrat-dividing maneuver for future negotiations...
"Hes been pretty clear: He wants the House to defund Obamacare."
What I thought. But I disagree with refusing to raise the debt ceiling unless Obamacare is defunded. Why?
Because first, the consequences of not raising the debt ceiling could be a real blow to the economy. Obamacare is a terrible idea, but the people haven't fully realized it yet, because it is just now going into effect. In a year or two, people will know all too well what a disaster it is, and we can repeal it, and the Dems will be buried as the party that brought the disaster called Obamacare. But if we don't raise the debt ceiling, and there is an economic disaster, people are going to forget about Obamacare and could well blame the economic disaster on the Tea Party. This could lead to a solid congressional majority for the Dems in 2014 and give Obama everything he wants.
What I thought. But I disagree with refusing to raise the debt ceiling unless Obamacare is defunded. Why?
Because he's playing the game the Dems normally play. Hold the government up until he gets what he wants. He wants Obamacare defunded and will do anything in his power - use the debt ceiling for example - to accomplish that goal.
You can disagree with his reasons and methods but what he's been aiming to do has been crystal clear.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Swint Fast shipping Great product. Fast shipping. I did upgrade my bearings for better wheel rotation. June 5, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Steverino So far so great! So far so great! Many reviews I read here and at other stores suggested replacing the wheels immediately. I have found them to be in terrific working order and haven't seen the need to replace anything just yet. Very comfortable, perfect fit/size and I would suggest wearing them with thicker socks especially until you have broken them in and stretched them out a bit. Very happy with my purchase online!

Rated 3 out of 5�by jay good entry level skate. up graded wheel bearings after the first use, and plan on up grading truck bushings also. good entry level skate. February 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Nana3 Just what we were hoping for The Chicago Men's Deluxe Rink roller skates are for my husband who loves to skate, but had problems with the rental skates at the local rinks. He is so happy with his new skates! They only needed a minor adjustment of the wheels and he was ready to go. Two hours of skating on Saturday night got a rave review from my husband. February 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Joe 56 Skates are very comfortable I went skating for the first time in 30 year with my granddaughter last night. In my younger days I was a very good skater & went about 3 nights a week. I bought these skates & they were great in the way they felt, but on my right skate I was picking up a vibration from the wheels I went over to the skate rinks counter to see what was going on. they said that every thing was adjusted correctly but that the wheels were not perfectly round. So I am now going to have to upgrade to new wheels & may have to upgrade the bearings also if the wheels don't take care of it. July 2, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by Twinmom Not Sure I purchased 3 pair of these men skates. A pair each for my husband and my teenage twin boys. They opted to keep theirs for they have only been on them once for 2hrs. Husband did well with balance with them. My boys are just beginning to learn how to skate and they did as well as to be expected for 1st time skating. On the other hand, my husband does feel the skates are very poorly made but for the price would much rather keep then to use the rentals at the skating rink. I purchased myself a pair of Ladies in this skate and had a totally whole different expeirence as you should see in another review I had posted for those pair. Lets just say my concern now is that my husband and children will be safe while on these skates and I deeply regret purchasing Chicago brand skates and will never again. I would like to Thank Dicks sporting goods for their fantastic customer service, understanding and concern they gave me. They did not even give me a second thought on returning me my money on the Ladies skates I purchased for myself and was deeply concerned and remourseful for my horrible experience and injuries that they caused me.

Rated 1 out of 5�by love to skate on round wheels bad wheels just bought the skates and notice the wheels are not cut round they are oblong very pooor its hard to skate on square wheels April 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by AllenT Good Skates - Fair Price I am very pleased with the skates so far. I've gone skating several times in them and can say that they are far more comfortable and fun to skate in than the rental skates. The boot was very comfortable and roomy. This was my first pair of traditional roller skates so I cannot really compare them to other brands or models. I have owned several pairs of roller blades in the past, and I think these skates are far better for traditional, indoor roller skating. Overall I am very satisfied with the skates given their price.

Corn rich in variety
September 21, 2011
It's fair time — After showing your livestock it's unusual food time — mostly fried, like Twinkies and funnel cakes. A newie lately is bacon dipped in chocolate.
Still, the one food that most of us have at the fair (as well as at home) is — corn on the cob covered with melted butter and whatever else is available.
As we enjoy our "roasting ears" as my Texas friends call them, we can enjoy the knowledge that corn originated in America, somewhere in the Andes. This gift to all mankind was called "maize."
The term maize is a derivative of an early American Indian word mahiz. The newcomers called it "Indian corn." Today, "Indian corn" refers to the ornamental corn of Halloween and Thanksgiving fame, especially the blue corn.
According to American Indian belief, corn was of divine origin, "the food of the gods that created the earth."
Corn pollen is central to all Navajo ceremonies. Every shaman carries corn pollen and no shaman would undertake a healing ceremony without it. Corn pollen is associated with Changing Woman, who created the Navajo and gave them corn pollen as a means of contacting her.
When I enjoy corn on the cob I think of that. It truly is food of the gods. The idea of using this wonderful grain for fuel to burn in our motor vehicles is repugnant to me, especially when I consider the government subsidy it receives.
If a person's diet is dominated by corn with few other vegetables, pellagra is a risk because corn doesn't contain niacin (vitamin B3). Pellagra causes dermatological, gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms and ultimately death.
Although historically most corn grown in the United States and Canada is used as animal feed, the grain has many other uses — cosmetics, ink, glue, laundry starch, shoe polish, medicines, fabrics, ornaments. Don't forget corncob pipes and, of course, ethanol.
Christopher Columbus took corn back to Spain, and by 1500 A.D. it was being grown there. By the 17th century it was a major crop in many European countries.
I had a friend who grew up in Austria, and she told me in that nation corn was feed for their animals, not themselves.
The Portuguese introduced it to East Africa and Asia and from there it was just a matter of time until it arrived in India and China through established trade routes. It was flourishing in China in the 18th century and reached Korea and Japan soon after. Corn is now one of the most widely grown vegetables on Earth, especially in the Americas. The United States and China lead world production.
The four main varieties of corn are sweet corn (that we enjoy off the cob), dent corn, also known as field corn (for livestock feed and industrial products), ornamental corn and flint corn.
What about popcorn? A sub-variety of flint corn makes popcorn. Its soft, starchy center facilitates the "pop" in the fluffy movie-snack favorite.
I'll see you at the food booths during the fair. I plan on sampling ALL the tasty, bad-for-me treats. After all, the fair only happens once a year.

The Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) requires physicians and non-physician healthcare professionals who provide services to Medicare Part B beneficiaries to reporton quality improvement measures to avoid negative payment adjustments. In general, the quality measures calculate the percentage of eligible patients who receive a particular process of care or achieve a particular outcome.
The 2015 PQRS Clinical Quality Measures Infectious Diseases Reference (.xls) provides a listing of PQRS quality measures potentially applicable to ID specialists.
Each quality measure is defined by a numerator and a denominator. A measure's numerator, which consists of the quality data code (CPT Category II and/or G-codes), describes the clinical action required by the measure. A measure's denominator, which can be identified by a CPT Category I code, ICD-9 code(s), ICD-10 code(s), and HCPCS codes as well as patient demographics (age, gender, etc.), and place of service (if applicable), describes the eligible patient population.
There may be circumstances in which a patient who would otherwise be included in the denominator population should be excluded. In these instances, CPT Category II code modifiers (1P, 2P, and 3P) may be appended to the quality data code to indicate a medical reason (1P), patient reason (2P), or system reason (3P) for the exclusion. The 8P modifier may be used to indicate that the process of care was not performed for a reason not otherwise specified.
Each reporting option may require different numerator and denominator coding elements. Please review individual measures' specifications for applicable numerator and denominator code(s) and CPT II modifier reporting instructions.
Click here for further information about PQRS and PQRS reporting options.
Additional Information
You only have to choose one
reporting option to qualify for the 1.0 percent incentive payment under
the PQRS. Do not begin reporting through the PQRS until you fully
understand the various reporting options and requirements.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (32 votes).
In short: Lovely race, fab marshallingIn full: My only moan is at the (some) runners, not the race. Who needs to eat gels on a 1/2? And then to drop the wrappers in lovely rural Suffolk lanes? I counted 12 from a mid-table position. Fuckwits!Date of review: November 5, 2013
In short: Most impressively organised and ran 10K i have experienced in East AngliaDate of review: November 3, 2013
In short: Friendly, fast, well organised and picturesqueDate of review: November 12, 2012
In short: Lovely (quick) course, incredibly friendly marshalls and organisers, good organisation.In full: I will definately do this smallish race again. Despite constant lashing rain, the warmth of the marshalls, organisers and even a few (brave) spectators, made this a really enjoyable morning. The course is fast with only a couple of hills (although for this part of the world, they stand out!). Plenty of awards and categories and a lovely goody bag (the crisps were even more welcome than the beer) also serve as an incentive. Although most runners were from clubs (myself included) it was heartening to see that they were of all levels and abilities, and it certainly didn't feel intimidating. Any non club runners would undoubtedly have been made to feel as welcome as we were. Well done Black Dog. Looking forward to improving times for next year.Date of review: November 11, 2012
In short: Great racve, despite lashing rain.Date of review: November 8, 2012
In short: Atrocious weather made the organisation even more impressive, marshals being that cheerful throughout must have been on something!In full: The weather had to be seen to be believed, however this seemed to have no effect on the organisation. From arrival to leaving afterwards, the impression given to me as a runner was that everything went extremely smoothly, as someone with long term experience of marshalling I know it doesn't work like that. A very well deserved Gold rated event!Date of review: November 7, 2012
In short: Undulating course but really well organised and great funIn full: Considering the conditioning this was great race . It threw it down with rain all day but all marshalls and helpers did so with a smile on their face. The free hot soup afterwards was a great touch. With an undulating course and great ornaisation this is a race i don't think i will ever get bored of.Date of review: November 7, 2012
In short: Hated the rain,hated the wind...................loved this race!Date of review: November 7, 2012
In short: Great East Run is definitely great even when the weather makes it more challenging. Such a friendly race, really well-marshalled. Date of review: November 6, 2012
In short: challenging 20k course, appreciate the efforts of all the organisors/ race marshallIn full: s/water station who had to stand there for 3 hours + in horrendous condtionsDate of review: November 6, 2012

Just got back from Chuck E. Cheese with my two year old kid. It's the first time I've been there in prolly 17-18 years, and it brought back some serious memories. And being half buzzed off four Chuck E Cheese Bud Light drafts, I feel like telling one of the favorite stories of my youth.
Im a 10-11 year old kid. My good buddy Tim and I (kindtim on the boards) used to love hangin' out there. Our parents would drop us off at like noon, pick us up at 4 or 5. We'd eat pizza, play video games, and hoard tickets.
One day ... we found The Holy Grail. One of the Chuck E Cheese employees left their keys on the floor by one of the machines. I snagged em. We left.
For the next two years, we had the ultmate scam for a couple snot nosed punks. We'd go there what seemed like every weekend. I'd stand guard. Tim would open up one of the machines more discreetly in the corner and pilfer all the tokens out of it. The machines sold em for like 8 for a dollar. We'd sell em for like twice that, 15 for a dollar to other kids ... and even parents.
We'd walk out with like 25-30 bucks apiece almost every day, and that was after eating, drinking, and playing all day on that big mouse. Doesn't seem like much. But in the late 80's, as a 12 year old? It was like the LaTonza Heist ... recreated every weekend.
Good times.

High Peaks Resort sold to new company
LAKE PLACID – High Peaks Resort has been purchased by a New York City-based owner and operator of resorts and hotels across the country.
AWH Partners LLC announced its acquisition of the hotel Monday.
The company was founded by Russ Flicker, Jon Rosenfeld and Chad Cooley and manages 15 other hotels, six of which it owns.
In March 2012, AWH Partners bought the resort's current management company, Lane Hospitality, which it rebranded Spire Hospitality this May.
"The transition to AWH Partners ownership only adds value to the existing operation of High Peaks Resort, which will continue to operate under the leadership of General Manager Bob Trotter," Bill DeForrest, president and CEO of Spire Hospitality, said in the press release.
He said he expected upgrades to the resort to start late this year and be done by next summer 2014.
AWH Partners has contracted with Reed Miller – a Lake Placid enthusiast, Northwood School graduate and New York Ski Education Foundation board member – to build on the resort's connection with the Lake Placid community.
"We are ecstatic about acquiring this wonderful asset and partnering with Mr. Miller," Cooley said in a press release. "We have fallen in love with High Peaks and believe we will be successful by establishing deeper roots within Lake Placid. We have set aside substantial funds to make aesthetic improvements to the resort and look forward to working with the community on our plans."
The hotel was a Hilton until 2008, when it underwent a massive renovation as well as a name change.

Topic: Rails Purity vs Efficiency
In my application I frequently come across the issue listed in the title.
Consider the following:
class Booking < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :resource
class Unavailability < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :resource
def self.unavailability_exists?(booking)
The difference between option1 and option2 is seemingly trivial. The readability seems just about the same('_' vs '.') The efficiency is the difference of a possible database query(depending if the booking object had previously cached the association). In practice, the addition of one extra query to the db could become significant if looping through thousands of Bookings. You might ask, why go at all with option2? Well, in my case, resource_id isn't just "resource_id" its a long drawn out name that makes the code harder to read. I feel "booking.resource.id" is certainly more "pure".
Another example is my colleague who loves doing raw sql queries as opposed to associations. His code is definitely more efficient(consider a query joining 3 tables vs. rails doing a query, getting the id, query again with that id, and so on...)
There are definitely criticisms on the way I'm doing the above code, but hopefully you'll see the point I'm trying to raise. If anything is unclear let me know. I'm interested in how and when people choose efficiency over rails purity.

Thai Yellow Pumpkin and Seafood Curry
- 1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk (about 1 2/3 cups)
- 1 to 2-tablespoons yellow (or red) Thai curry paste
- 1 1/2 cups fish stock (I use boiling water and concentrated fish bouillon; cubes will do)
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce (recommended: Nam Pla)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 lemongrass stalks, each cut into 1/3's and bruised with the flat of a knife
- 3 lime leaves, stalked and cut into strips, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 1/4 pounds pumpkin or butter nut squash, peeled and cut into large, bite-sized chunks
- 1 pound 2 ounces salmon fillet, preferably organic, skinned and cut into large, bite-sized chunks
- 1 pound 2 ounces peeled raw shrimp
- Bok Choy or any other green vegetables of your choice
- 1/2 to 1 lime, juiced or more to taste
- Cilantro, for garnish
Skim the thick creamy top off the can of coconut milk and put it into a large saucepan or casserole with the curry paste, over medium heat. Let it sizzle and, using a fork, whisk or wooden spoon, beat cream and paste together until combined. Still beating gently, add the rest of the coconut milk, fish stock, fish sauce, sugar, lemongrass, lime leaves (if using) and turmeric. Bring to a boil and then add the pumpkin. Cook on a fast simmer until the pumpkin is tender, about 15 minutes, although different sorts of pumpkins can vary enormously in the time they take to cook; some squash can take a little as 5 minutes.
As I mentioned, you can cook the curry up until this part in advance, maybe leaving the pumpkin with a tiny bit of bite to it (it will soften and cook as the pan cools). Either way, when you're about 5 minutes from wanting to eat, get ready to cook the seafood.
So, to the robustly simmering pan, add the salmon and shrimp (if you're using frozen shrimp they'll need to go in before the salmon). When the salmon and shrimp have cooked through, which shouldn't take more than 3 to 4 minutes, stir in any green vegetable you're using - sliced, chopped or shredded as suits - and tamp down with a wood spoon. When the bok choy is wilted, or other green vegetable is cooked, squeeze in the juice of half a lime, stir and taste and add the juice of the remaining half if you feel it needs it. Take the pan off the heat and pour the curry into a large bowl, and sprinkle over the cilantro; the point is that the cilantro goes in just before serving. Serve with more chopped cilantro for people to add their own bowls as they eat, and some plain Thai or basmati rice.
Contains Shellfish: Consumption of raw or undercooked shellfish may substantially increase the risk of foodborne illness.

Remember When: Photograph Dilemma
6 comments:
Since we switched to digital photography all those years ago, we've not been printing out as many photos as we should. Now we're fixing that by printing out some of the best, framing them, and putting them on the wall. It costs barely $10 a pop and is great having your memories on the wall.ReplyDelete
As for what to do with them when you're gone, that's tricky. I bet millions of photos are thrown out each year. It's a shame. Perhaps put in your will that any unwanted photos should be given to the local historical society or charity shop. Collectors scour charity shops and some love old photos. I knew a guy who collected Super 8 family films!Replies
Interesting ideas, Sean. Just need to get it done. Thanks.Delete
I have the same situation, boxes of photos. Who will care once I am gone! Love the one of grandpa and his grandkid!ReplyDeleteReplies
It really is something to think about. At least having this blog is helping me to get some of them scanned.Delete
I have so many in digital format that I have meant to organize and print out into actual albums and I never seem to get around to it. So they are sort of suspended in digital land. I mean, I can get on the computer and click through them, but its not the same. So I guess that is my dilemma. But you raise a good point, what to do with them all? Because for all of that, I have packages of photos from before digital photography being so prevalent, and they sit in drawers. I couldn't part with them, but they are out of sight, out of mind, most of the time, unfortunately.ReplyDeleteReplies
I have a friend who took all her negatives from trips and such to Walgreens and had them put them on a CD. That is a great place to start. On the top of my TO-DO list.Delete

Mark Strong | Glamour and Sadness
In Tomas Alfredson's adaptation of John le Carré's TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY, Mark Strong plays Jim Prideaux, a strikingly handsome agent who maintains a shadow over his personal and professional history. Recruited by Bill Haydon in his Oxford days, Jim became a "Scalphunter," an agent involved in black ops, who was disgraced when an action in Budapest went terribly wrong. Highlighting the character's complexity, producer Tim Bevan says that "what you see with Jim Prideaux… is both a glamour and a sadness." In playing the character of Prideaux, Mark Strong picked up on that complexity, noting, "Jim is very conscious of his sense of duty and service to his country; he would do the dirty work in the field and then come back to Circus headquarters, until he was sent out again. As a Scalphunter, he had to assume various identities in undercover work – and have more than one at the ready. He's a very erudite Englishman, but emotionally he's quite stunted." In mapping out this complex emotional geography, Strong has created a figure at once fascinating and resonant. The Playlist noted in its review, "Mark Strong is heartbreaking as [Haydon's] best friend Prideaux, hopefully demonstrating to studio types that he's capable of a far greater range than he's mostly played so far—watch the way that his eyes light up as he spots Firth at a party." While Strong has often been cast in supporting roles, and then mostly as villains, his filmography showcases an artist able to craft the most remarkable characters out of any role.
Mark Strong | Becoming an Actor Despite Himself
Mark Strong in "Speed the Plow"
Born Marco Giuseppe Salussolia to an Italian father and an Austrian mother, Mark Strong grew up in England, always a bit on the outside. The name Strong was later given him by his mother to help him fit in. Athletic and a good student, he never dreamed of being an actor. Indeed, his childhood dramatics were more of a lark than a revelation. In the school production of Derek Benfield's farce "The Post Horn Gallop, he told The Independent, "I played a scout-master and the whole gag of that character was his knobbly knees peeking out from his shorts…I only did it as a giggle really and it never made me want to do any more." Still he developed a stage presence in the 70s playing in a punk band called Private Party. Then after moving to Germany to study law, he decided to try drama instead. As he told The Times, "I thought, perhaps I should become a lawyer because it would make my mum happy…But I very quickly realised how dull it was and that it wasn't for me. So I chose acting as something that wasn't dull." Yet while he had never planned to be an actor, Strong soon gleaned how his experience had trained him anyway. As he told The Guardian, "I was not the product of a family, but a product of observation – of watching what went on around me, of watching who I liked, what I didn't like, what I thought was good behaviour and what I thought was bad behaviour and tailoring myself accordingly. I think now that means I can see things from a distance and work out how to build a character." After leaving the University of Munich, he returned to London to study drama. And while he quickly moved into TV and film, Strong continues to act on stage, as in the 2000 London production of David Mamet's "Speed The Plow."
Mark Strong | A Familiar Face on the Telly
Mark Strong in ITV's "Emma"Before showing up in feature films, Mark Strong was a featured player in British television. In fact, he found his acting style perfectly fitted for the screen. As he later told The Guardian, "the first time I was in front of a camera I wasn't self-conscious because I didn't really know what I was doing. I played the Porsche-driving boyfriend in a series called "After Henry"....I got out of a car, walked up to a house and got chucked. I played the scene as if I was in the theatre, without artifice." After appearing in a number of British TV shows, like "Inspector Morse", "The Buddha of Suburbia", and "Prime Suspect", Strong broke out in the BBC series "Our Friends In The North," in which he played a young man who goes from failed '60s rocker to flourishing businessman. Strong later described the role to The Independent: "There's a kind of simpleness about him but that doesn't mean he's stupid,…and a kind of hardness but that doesn't mean he's not vulnerable. He's just someone who's working his bollocks off to do something and get somewhere despite all the limitations holding him in." Subsequently, Strong was cast in several dramatizations of great literary works, including ITV's 1996 adaptation of EMMA, in which he plays the dashing Mr. Knightley, and the 2000 TV version of ANNA KARENINA, in which he appeared in the role of Oblonsky.
Mark Strong | Great When He's Bad
Mark Strong in REVOLVER, OLIVER TWIST, SHERLOCK HOLMESIn David Evans' 1997 soccer drama, FEVER PITCH, Strong got noticed on the big screen as Colin Firth's friend. (Interestingly, both had just come off playing Austen beaus -- he, EMMA's Knightley and Firth, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE's Mr. Darcy). Following his soulful turn as the spiritually-minded prisoner of war in TO END ALL WARS, Strong began to find his groove as a character actor playing the dapper, sadistic gay gangster in the BBC series about London's criminal underworld in the 1960s, "The Long Firm." The Telegraph wrote that "the success of the series is due to Harry [Starls]– or rather, to the subtlety and power with which he is played by Mark Strong." Indeed Strong began to redefine complicated villains in a series of roles as memorable film baddies: the suburban father-looking hit man in Guy Ritchie's 2005 REVOLVER; the colorful crook Toby Crackit in Roman Polanski's 2005 OLIVER TWIST; the finger nail-pulling henchman in Stephen Gaghan's 2005 SYRIANA; the cool, inscrutable head of the Jordanian Police in Ridley Scott's 2008 BODY OF LIES; and the superbad, back-from-the-dead Lord Blackwood in Guy Ritchie's SHERLOCK HOLMES. As Strong told FirstShowing, "I think with good guys, you never really think, "Why are they good?" But with bad guys, you might find yourself thinking, "What's made them like this?" So, psychologically, I find them really interesting, and I can find different ways to differentiate them."
Mark Strong | Many Faces, One Heart
Mark Strong in GREEN LANTERN and THE EAGLE
The skills that make Mark Strong such a fearful onscreen nemesis are also what make him such a powerful performer. Strong told FirstShowing, "As an actor,....[y]ou want to be playing things that are as far removed from yourself as possible so that you can have the challenge of exploring those characters." When Strong took on the role of Sinestro in GREEN LANTERN, he relished even the digital and makeup transformation required for the character. He told the Los Angeles Times, "I loved coming in for makeup tests and working with the prosthetics and coming up with this really fantastic look that is true to the comics…The accumulation of props, accents, costume, setting, all of it, helps you transform yourself with a level of commitment that is very exciting. It's very welcome." But underneath all of that, Strong finds the emotional core that makes the character both strange and familiar. When THE EAGLE director Kevin Macdonald looked to cast the character of Guern, a Roman soldier in Ancient Britain who abandoned the army to live with the locals, he looked to Strong to make a long-ago, far-away character both real and immediate. As Macdonald notes, "Mark Strong is an actor I have always admired. He often plays villainous characters but I recognised a sensitivity in him."

Toshiba Corp., a leading maker of various electronics, on Tuesday said that it had begun shipping of its SpursEngine processors to interested parties. Thanks to four synergetic processing units the new chips can process up to four full-HD videos at a time, which may be a valuable capability for professionals, but may not be used by consumer products.
"We are very pleased to have started sample shipping of SpursEngine. The design of this powerful co-processor is dedicated to bringing the advanced capabilities of the Cell/B.E. to consumer electronics, particularly video processing in digital consumer products. We are sure that SpursEngine will accelerate the market for full-HD applications," said Yoshio Masubuchi, director of Toshiba's system LSI division, advanced SoC development center.
SpursEngine is a co-processor that integrates four of Cell high-performance RISC core SPEs, half the number of the full configuration, hardware dedicated to decoding and encoding of MPEG-2 and H.264 video, XDR memory interface as well as PCI Express interface. By combining the high level, real time processing software of the SPEs with the hardware video codecs, the SpursEngine realizes an optimized balance of processing flexibility and low power consumption. The prototype of SpursEngine operates at a clock frequency of 1.5GHz and consumes power at 10W to 20W.
The SpursEngine SE1000 reference board is compliant with PCI Express 1.1 x1 and x4 slots, sports 128MB of 1.6GHz XDR memory and carries SpursEngine processor at unknown clock-speed.
Toshiba's SpursEngine processor may be used for various products and in various markets. In the computer industry the SpursEngine may be used for video processing, graphics computations, physics computations and various other applications that involve processing of data streams. Potentially, video professionals may find useful to decode or encode four full-HD (1920x1080 with progressive scan, 1080p) streams at once. In the consumer space currently only two full-HD video decoders are required to provide picture-in-picture functionality on Blu-ray and HD DVD players, however, as high-definition television becomes more popular and more channels are broadcasted digitally, four-way video processing may become a necessary feature for advanced HDTVs.
Toshiba will support developers working on SpursEngine applications with a comprehensive reference kit that includes a reference board and essential middleware APIs. Toshiba will also provide an integrated development environment (SPE compiler, SPE debugger, and performance monitor) and sample applications that demonstrate how to use the provided middleware. With the reference kit, customers can quickly and easily construct an evaluation and development environment and accelerate product development, the company said.
Toshiba also indicated that it is developing co-operative relationships with many partner companies in order to develop wide scope video solutions that utilize SpursEngine.
"For example, we are partnering with Corel Corp. whose headquarters are in Canada; and Taiwan based CyberLink Corp. and Leadtek Research Inc. These companies produce popular video and image processing software and hardware such as graphic board, and will together supply to set manufactures. By working together with these companies and creating a new value chain, many end user can enjoy comfortable digital life by using our board and software bundled with SpursEngine," Toshiba said.

Spokane Police use new technology, hard work to catch criminals
SPOKANE, Wash. - Spokane police have their sights set on heroin dealers. This morning the city's SWAT team executed two search warrants and put two people behind bars. The first was at Fourth and Altamont, the other at Second and Fiske.
Spokane's Special Investigations unit has had their eye on this neighborhood for at least a month. They say surveillance has been difficult because the homes are fairly isolated, and with no other homes in the area it took longer for detectives to confirm their suspicions that drugs were being bought and sold here.
But the unit did use new technology on the case. Comp State is a data-driven analysis program that police are using to crack down on problem locations and people they suspect are the source of illegal activity.Spokane Police use new technology, hard work to catch criminals
Statistics matched with good old-fashioned, solid police work tell officers where to be and when to be there, and today's bust is just one example of how it's been working

Andi Zeisler Lecture
Lecture Andi Zeisler, co-founder and editor of BITCH magazine, to give lecture at Montante Cultural Center on Friday, March 7, 2014, 7 pm.
"Why Pop Culture Matters to Feminism, Activism, and Social Justice"
A stock response to complaints about offensive and demeaning representation of women and others in popular media is often, "Well, just change the channel! You don't have to watch that show/read that book/see that movie." This presentation explicates why that line of thinking ignores the reality of how media and pop culture permeate every aspect of our lives, and offers an overview of media and pop culture as a locus of feminist activism.
Pop culture has long been central to feminist activism, and this presentation looks at this phenomenon with an eye to both history and the present day, noting the ways in which representation—or the lack thereof—has been a key catalyst of feminist action. From the Miss America protest of 1968 to the Saturday Night Live pushback of today, we'll look at how foregrounding a feminist perspective in media and pop culture makes that culture better, richer, and more representative of the world in which we live.
Andi Zeisler is a co-founder and creative/editorial director of BITCH magazine. Part of the mission of BITCH magazine: "A fresh, revitalizing voice for feminism. One that welcomes complex arguments, showcases witty and whip-smart critiques of popular culture, and refuses to ignore the contradictory and sometimes uncomfortable details that constitute the realities of life in an unequivocally gendered world"
This event is sponsored by the Canisius College Women & Gender Studies program, which is celebrating its 25th year anniversary!
The event is free & open to the public.
For more information about this event, contact Tanya Loughead, Department of Philosophy, email@example.com

Rihanna stole the show at the CFDA Awards in New York last night by wearing a see-through gown encrusted with hundreds of thousands of Swarovski crystals.
The Barbadian pop superstar attended Monday's glitzy bash to pick up her Fashion Icon of the Year honour and ensured she was the talk of the red carpet with her bold fashion choice.
The bespoke 1920s style dress and headpiece was created by her long-time fashion cohort Adam Selman and came complete with 216,000 Swarovski crystals.
Leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination, Rihanna's tattoos and breasts could clearly be made out in the glare of the awaiting media's camera flashes.
During her Fashion icon acceptance speech, Rihanna told the Lincoln Center audience: "I can compensate for all of my weaknesses with fashion. Fashion should never be frustrating, it should be fun."
Other attendees at the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards included Solange Knowles, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Heidi Klum, Iman, Tom Ford, Naomi Campbell, Lupita Nyong'o and Jennifer Hudson.
