Early-stage teachers and researchers
Who are they?
Early-stage teachers are known by different names in different countries and are often defined differently. In some countries they are called "newly-qualified teachers" or "new teachers". In Europe they are commonly called "young teachers". The variation in the names often reveals how the stakeholders in the education system consider the needs of this group: whether they are fresh out of school or whether they have not had prior professional experiences in their teaching career.
For Education International, we have adopted the term "early-stage teachers" to reflect how we think this group should be considered by all education stakeholders. Early-stage teachers are newly-qualified or certified teachers who have completed their required pre-service training and are in their first years of service. In this sense, the term seeks to accommodate all national biases and situations: it is true that many early-stage teachers are young, but we should not forget individuals who come late into the teaching profession and are confronted with the same challenges as their peers who are younger. Also, we do not seek to limit the period of "new-ness" – which could range from one to fifteen years, based on the results of our membership mapping done in 2012.
What are their needs?
According to the data released by UNESCO's Institute of Statistics on World Teachers' Day in 2011, 2 million new teaching positions are needed in order to meet the goal of Universal Primary Education by 2015. Factoring in an attrition rate of 5% per year, the total number of primary teachers needed climbs to 5.4 million.
Yet early-stage teachers continue to leave the profession after their first years. In the United States, there are 150,000 new teachers being trained each year. Yet within the first five years of service, half of them quit.
Such high turnover rate in the profession means that there will not be enough qualified and experienced teachers to take over the job of those who go on retirement. Class sizes will increase and the quality of education will drop. This will drop even further if the school authorities hire unqualified or contract teachers to fill the gap, instead of addressing the issue at its root.
The causes of low retention rate among early-stage teachers differ in different countries. But here are some of the reasons we have found:
Low level of attractiveness of the profession: The status of the teaching profession needs to be raised so as to attract the best and the brightest. It needs to offer adequate remuneration and possibilities for both horizontal and vertical career developments within the school system. Working environment needs to be safe and healthy, providing the necessary resources and support that the teachers need to fulfil their professional duties. Teachers should be consulted on all school and education policies' development, where their opinion and participation should be valued. All these factors contribute to making teaching an attractive profession which encourages teachers to stay in their job.
Insufficient support and assistance: Many early-stage teachers looked for help and did not find any within the immediate working environment. Insufficient pre-service training may account for such needs, but teaching is a profession which one learns on the job. There are moments when early-stage teachers need advice and school authorities should not reprimand or turn down such requests but provide the assistance and counsel that these teachers need.
Insufficient work-life balance: Early-stage teachers are often overwhelmed by the realities of the profession. Teaching is a tough job, and it is becoming increasingly harder when teachers are requested to take on more administrative, managerial or counselling tasks instead of just concentrating on the core duties of their profession, which is to teach. Teachers also often bring their work home, consuming up much of their personal time and this often goes unnoticed or unappreciated by other stakeholders in the education system. Education authorities should ensure a healthy work-life balance for all teachers, bearing in mind the preparatory and analytical processes of each lesson are also work and should be considered so when it comes to the planning of working hours.
Lack of adequate in-service training: Teaching is a continually-evolving profession. With the increasing use of new information and communication technologies in education, new discoveries being made and new events happening every day, teachers need to be encouraged to be proactive in the development of education. As such, teachers should have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of courses to upgrade their knowledge or skills so that they can discover new ways to improve the learning and teaching process in the classroom. This also helps to make the profession exciting and participatory.
Many of the concerns of early-stage teachers are captured in the report "The Experience of New Teachers - Results from TALIS 2008" published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in early 2012.
How and why do education unions support early-stage teachers?
Education unions in each country organise early-stage teachers differently, because of the way a teacher enters a profession, the way schools are being organised, or simply, the sector of education the union organises.
In general, unions group early-stage teachers into two - pre-service personnel and in-service personnel - who are further divided into two sub-groups each. Pre-service personnel consist of student teachers or teacher trainee. In-service personnel are those who are in their first year (or more) of service, or teachers who are maximum 35 years old.
There are many ways in which education unions offer support to early-stage teachers. Some examples are:
- Initiation guide
- Periodicals such as magazines and bulletins
- Social activities and training courses
- Online networking: website, blog, Facebook page and other social networks
- Helpline
- Mentorship programmes
- Assistance in job search
Education unions play an important role in increasing the retention rate of early-stage teachers. This pertains to the long-term sustainability of the education system itself, as well as the quality of education. Notwithstanding this, unions need to attract new members so as to ensure the continuity of teacher unionism. This calls for the meaningful involvement of early-stage teachers in all decision-making processes and the grooming of young union leaders.
What is Education International doing to support early-stage teachers?
As the global union federation representing all education workers, Education International considers early-stage teachers a crucial element in its work with its member organisations.
In 2011, a Resolution on Organising Student Teachers, Early-Stage Teachers and Researchers was passed at its World Congress in Cape Town. Recognising early-stage teachers as a "key group in determining the future of children and students in education, the future of teacher unions and of the entire teaching profession", the document "recommends that member organisations make it a priority to recruit early-stage teachers and researchers, to identify the issues affecting them, to meet their needs and equip them with knowledge of their rights and train them to assume leadership positions within the trade unions".
In 2012, a mapping exercise is being carried out to collect information about the situation of early-stage teachers and researchers in all countries and union policies and strategies in organising them. A preliminary report and a table were produced in March 2012.
As part of its advocacy work with other international organisations, such as the OECD and UNESCO, EI highlights the needs of early-stage teachers and researchers and submits country examples where the low rate of retention among early-stage teachers corresponds to low PISA results.

Go for the Gold!
Your whole life has been dedicated to the thrill of competition. You shed blood, sweat, and tears over your sport of choice, and rack up medals and trophies in your ongoing struggle to be stronger, fitter, faster, and better than the rest. Finally, one day you make it to the top of the heap and are chosen to represent your country in the Olympics. You travel to a foreign land, compete against the best of the best ... and you win! OMG, you win! And there you are, standing on that elevated platform with your head held high. Forget bronze, fuck silver you went for the gold and you got it. You return home in a blaze of glory, heralded by ticker tape parades, magazine covers, and Wheaties boxes. Then what? When the thrill of competition and athletic ability fade, what do former Olympians do with their lives? In the case of gold medalists Nadia Comaneci and Mark Spitz, they hit the motivational speaking circuit and encourage others to be how they used to be. You can meet these champions at a seminar titled Achieving Your Personal Best.
It will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. in the ballroom at the Mandarin Oriental, and admission, astonishingly, is free. Plus, all attendees will receive a complimentary consultation with a local Botox expert. Even athletes get crows feet, apparently.

Nine out of ten food advertisements shown during Saturday morning children's television programming are for foods of poor nutritional quality, according to researchers at the Center for Science in the Public Interest and the University of Minnesota.
During a sample of 27.5 hours of shows aimed at pre-school and elementary school-aged children, 91 percent of food ads were for foods or beverages high in fat, sodium or added sugars or were low in nutrients, according to the study. Forty-nine percent of the 4.08 hours of advertisements shown were for food (281 food ads out of 571 total). The sample, taken from a 2005 review by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, included major broadcast and cable networks that had Saturday morning programming.
The most commonly advertised food categories were ready-to-eat breakfast cereals and cereal bars (27 percent of all ads), restaurants (19 percent) and snack foods (18 percent). Of the 281 food ads, 59 percent were for products that exceeded criteria for added sugars, according to the study. About one in five foods advertised exceeded other guidelines, including total fat, saturated plus trans fat and sodium. The majority of advertised foods (84 percent) met the criteria for vitamins and minerals, often as a result of fortification. None of the 27 beverage ads met the study's nutrition standards.
The researchers conclude: "The findings indicate that the foods that food and nutrition professionals encourage children to eat more of, such as fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy products and whole grains, are seldom encouraged in advertisements shown during children's Saturday morning television programming. Instead, most advertisements promote...foods high in fat, sugars or sodium, or low in nutrients."
This research was published in the April 2008 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.

In this continuation of the story Escapades of a Promiscuous Young Wife, Annabelle is caught servicing the patients and has to pay the price.
June 1, 1862
Dear Connie,
I fear for us all in this awful war. We are much agitated at the news from Tennessee concerning the Yankee victory at Shiloh. The casualty lists seemed endless. All the beds are full at the Warren Hospital. There are rumors that the invaders will turn east to Nashville then on to Chattanooga and could be in North Carolina by spring or even late winter. I cannot imagine living in such close proximity to the Union as you do. Are you not frightened Papa says that the Union will never allow the Confederacy to coexist with them. Therefore, we must take measures to not only repel them, but to utterly crush them and bring the North to an end or be prepared to live in servitude as the negros.
We expect requisitioning will be implemented by Jefferson Davis shortly. Edward has said as much during some of his visits and that the local recruitment office will take charge of that. He was much puffed up about his importance when he came calling and was closeted with father much of the time. I think it was about the things Papa writes. I could never consent to such a match and I am sure he knows it. I do not think an idle woman would give him fair exchange. There will be an ugly row if that gentleman does come for the gray mare.
My duties at the hospital keep me there from earliest morning to well past dark. I cannot believe the human body can suffer so much and still retain its humanity. Some of these boys are barely recognizable as men after the surgeon has finished his gruesome work. Most of the patients in my ward are so engaged in surviving that any frivolity would be lost on them. This is good as I am already covered-up with dressing wound; changing bandages, clothes and sheets; and feeding the injured. Instead, I take care to select lightly wounded or nearly recovered men for manual manipulation. As of now there are some five or six men I regularly visit.
This is how I arrange my visits. Once or twice a day, never more than three times, usually in the early morning before the doctors arrive or late after the evening meal and final rounds, I will position a privacy screen around the foot of the bed and to either side of the man. Customarily they expect me to come read their mail, as many of them are unskilled in their letters, or to read from some collection of speeches the local brothers have left for their edification. I have several favorites and they look forward to my visits with visible anticipation. Once everything is in place I open the letter of book and place it on a side trey across the bed from me. As I read I can see the excitement build in them. Not wanting any injury and because of the necessity for unrestricted blood flow I will draw back the covers to expose any swelling taking place. My brave boys never fail to present me with rigid attention. Most are in hospital gowns and I am able to easily expose any inflammation, but if they are still in their uniforms I will hastily remove their belt and confining trousers. I must frequently lay hold of the man to restrain him from casting himself from the bed in his excitement. I get a firm grip on him and use rhythmic compressions. Often he is warm to the touch and very firm. There have been a great variety in my soldiers and all of them have impressed me with their stature. Some are broad and some are long. I find lubrication allows me the optimum measure of control and comfort for the soldier. Sometimes I will simply spit on the inflammation while at other times I find slathering with my tongue is more rewarding. Always they reward my ministrations with a powerful release. Due to the need to maintain a sterile environment I will collect all that I can of the sticky ejaculate. I make sure that I clean up completely. The satisfaction from showing compassion to these men is creamy sweet or tangy and salty but always a delicious libation.
Sweet ritual had taken root when providence intervened again. I was asked to report to the chief surgeon's office yesterday. I stood in the middle of his office as he examined me from head to toe. He asked me if I liked working here and if I enjoyed my work as well as the patients. I of course said yes. He then revealed that he knew of the personal services I performed for the men. He said that he had watched me that very morning and had done so for a week. Then he demanded to know if my compassion extended to only the wounded. I instantly assured him that I had compassion for all men, he being handsome and fine featured I begged to be allowed to treat his throbbing organ. He stood up from behind his desk and I could see that he was exposed for my inspection. It seemed to go on forever, more than ten inches I should imagine, I could see that I would need to thoroughly lubricate him if I was to take it all. I cast myself to my knees and he gave himself to me liberally. He was vigorous in his use of me. Though I tried, choking on my failure, I could not handle him all and his reward was delivered in pulsing spasms to my face. Despite my inadequacy, he praised my effort and told me to continue with the men as well as a weekly visit to his office for advanced medical instruction.
So you see dear sister that your trust in my abilities is not unfounded. Mama has again read your letter in full. Thank you for inviting me to Hazel Park. Papa was against my going, but Mama prevailed upon him. He is adorable when she stubbornly insists on her way. He just hangs his head and mutters about getting his due. I love him so. I will travel with a bulk paper delivery to Roanoke, then travel by carriage the remainder of the way. There is some question about traveling companions to be sorted out so plan for two or three. Expect us the last week of July. I can barely stand the thought of being parted from my dear boys, but I look forward to learning how you handle your estate. Tell Millie that her Momma cries with every word from her and that she must remember that she belongs to a sophisticated lady now and she isn't a scullery maid any longer. Kiss her for me.
In Eager Anticipation,

SEC seeks data on earnings from IBM
Page Tools
IBM Corp. announced Monday that the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating how the company disclosed its methods for expensing exployee stock options in the first quarter. The technology giant described the investigation as informal and said it was cooperating.
When IBM released its first-quarter earnings on April 14, it said employee stock options cut into earnings by 10 cents per share. The consensus analysts' estimate was 14 cents a share.
The 14-cent figure had emerged in a chart that chief financial officer Mark Loughridge put out during an April 5 conference call, when he disclosed what options costs would have been in the year-ago quarter had IBM been expensing stock compensation at the time. He indicated that the then-current quarter's results would be similar.
Some analysts complained that IBM led them to believe the options-expensing costs would be higher so as to cushion the disappointing results IBM ended up posting. IBM's first-quarter earnings amounted to 84 cents per share in the quarter, well short of the 90 cents per share analysts had been expecting.
When asked if the company had intentionally misled analysts in order to soften the impact of the relatively weak quarterly earnings, IBM spokesman Ed Barbini would not comment, other than to say that Loughridge had been clear that stock-option expenses would be lower in 2005 than in 2004.
IBM shares fell 13 cents Monday to close at $73.88 on the New York Stock Exchange, then fell another 88 cents after the probe was announced.

Former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens is now claiming that he's being extorted by a women who has nude photos. The pictures of Owens were taken while he posed nude and masturbated while interacting with the women on Skype. Ok, I'm getting sick thinking about that.
"It's obvious that she has nothing because it's illegal with what she's trying to do or otherwise TMZ would have bought the photos," Owens told Philly.com by email on Tuesday. "This is a case of extortion, this is a waste of my time and you're wasting your time because I have nothing to say," Owens said.
I'm sure it's just a matter of time before the pictures of Owens in his birthday suit are sold.

text: I have one roof that is above another, so the down spout on the top roof is pointing towards the gutter on the roof below. When it rains the water flows out of the upper down spout across the shingles and into the gutter below. I would like to save my shingles by having the water go from one spout to the other gutter without crossing the shingles. What can I attach to the upper gutter, to make the water will flow directly into the gutter below without wetting the shingles? Any advice and assistance as to where to buy the materials will be appreciated.(I have asked this same question at three hardware stores and no one had an answer. I also saw a segment about this same question on This Old house, but I can't recall what they used to solve the problem.)

HP Claims Someone Snuck Android Onto Its TouchPads, Opens Investigation
Jason Mick
October 6, 2011 9:51 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Android on TouchPad team dealt a setback in their efforts
With the
TouchPad's fire sale
, which saw units selling for as little as $88 USD, the short-lived Hewlett-Packard Comp. (
) webOS tablet is chic again. Given that webOS, appears on its last legs in terms of support from HP,
developers are rushing to port
Google, Inc.'s (
) Android OS to the device to extend its lifetime.
shipped several TouchPads
mysteriously running an Android 2.2 "Froyo" kernel. The Android porting teams reached out to HP inquiring about these units. They argued that under Android's open source licens, HP must release the source code for these devices, including the firmware that drives multi-touch and wireless functionality on the device.
its response
, HP's Phil Robb, director of HP's open-source program office, claims ignorance of the Android build -- or at least feigns it.
But rather than leaving it at that, he goes on to say that HP is launching an investigation into how Android made its way onto those tablets. He writes, "We presently believe that some person or persons unknown may have facilitated the delivery of these Android-based units strictly against the policy and authorization of HP."
"Regarding your specific request for source code below, I must decline at the present time. HP has never authorized the distribution of any binaries for Android in association with the HP Touchpad. Therefore, HP is not under any license obligation to provide any corresponding Android source code to you."
Mr. Robb requested any information on the devices, to help it track down who put the supposedly unauthorized Android build on them.
HP's comments seem to infer that component supplier Qualcomm, Inc. (
) illegitimately and possibly illegally put the OS on the devices. The Android-endowed units flash the logo QuIC, or Qualcomm Innovation Center, a Qualcomm engineering subsidiary that works on optimizing open-source software for Qualcomm and its partners' products.
[Source: YouTube]
But QuIC at least claims to be oblivious to where the units came from as well. It sent a letter to developers denying that it manufactured or distributed the tablets in question.
Thus an interesting "Whodoneit?" mystery has emerged in the case of the Android TouchPads. Hopefully the Android development team gets to the bottom of this.
That said, HP's vows to "investigate" the incident feel a bit like beating a dead horse. After all, HP essentially said loud and clear that it didn't care about TouchPad or webOS fans, when it discontinued the device and began
laying off the webOS team
. So why would HP care if someone put Android on it?
"Intel is investing heavily (think gazillions of dollars and bazillions of engineering man hours) in resources to create an Intel host controllers spec in order to speed time to market of the USB 3.0 technology." -- Intel blogger Nick Knupffer

A Little Ray of Sunshine
Mar. 10, 2013 by Sasha Lamb
Reblogged from: Voices - Wesleyan Student Blogs. (Go to the original post…)
[Note: Written on Saturday, during my "I am going to be productive by turning the internet off!" day; posted today.]
It has been a beautiful weekend, ducklings.
Well, okay, it's been an unexpectedly snowy and then unexpectedly melty weekend, which has so far involved an awful lot of trudging through slush and getting my boots and socks absolutely soaked (and we all know that of life's little inconveniences, wet socks are some of the worst), but! Why let that bring us down? The snow was beautiful, and now it is apparently fifty degrees outside, which is also beautiful because it means that hypothetically at some point we will actually get to that spring we were promised when Persephone agreed to leave the underworld for half the year. I have made delicious food, and subsequently dined on delicious food, and gotten my stitches out, and, okay, not been quite as thesis-ly productive as I wanted, but I have had some very positive meetings with my thesis advisor and my thesis mentor, so I'm feeling oddly at peace with the world right now.
It's Spring Break, ducklings. Celebrate.
[Under the cut: The three states of thesis being and a LOT of food talk.]
So! What have I been up to this week? Well, on Sunday I helped Previously-Mentioned Housemate Natalia focus lights for a few hours. She was the lighting designer and one of the electricians for a Second Stage show called Under Milk Wood, which I know nothing about except that it was staged in the round, it involved a lot of dirt, and it stole absolutely all of Natalia's pre-break non-class time. No, seriously, housemates David, Katie, and I would trade "Natalia sightings" like she was a yeti or the Loch Ness monster or something.
Focusing lights wasn't too bad, it was just amazingly inefficient. Which wasn't the fault of Natalia or any of the electricians who were helping out; there were just a lot of lights involved in this show, and some of them weren't working the way they were supposed to. But we got some stuff done, and I even got to go up in the Genie (the machine that lifts you up level with the lights) once before I had to go, so that was fun. Don't try that at home, kids; I'm a certified professional. Well, I'm certified. With no certificate. Um. I'm trained? Or rather, at one point this year, a member of Second Stage taught me how to use it without killing myself, and then gave me the AOK to use it to help hang lights as long as someone else is there.
Anyway, it was nice to get out of the house for a bit that day, since over the weekend and until Tuesday night, I was slamming myself against my most recent thesis section. I believe on Tuesday I actually used the phrase, "So help me god, I am going to finish this section tonight or I am going to DIE TRYING."
And, you know, I finished it on Tuesday night (or Wednesday morning, if we're getting technical), and I didn't die even a little bit in the attempt, so. Success?
But it turns out that I've discovered the mystical third state-of-being of the thesis process, which was an interesting experience, since so far I've really only gone through the first two.
State-of-being #1: Positive, or at the very least determined. "I'm capable of doing this! I can write! This isn't as bad as I thought it was! I'm making progress! My advisor's comments were pretty good! I can finish this and I will finish this!"
State-of-being #2: Abject despair and frustration. "WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS TOPIC WHAT WAS I THINKING EVERYTHING IS AWFUL AND I HATE IT I HATE IT SO MUCH I CAN'T WRITE NOTHING IS WORKING I AM NEVER GOING TO FINISH ON TIME WHY CAN'T I CONCENTRATE WHY AM I WRITING A THESIS WHY DOES EVERYTHING I SAY SOUND DUMB I WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE HAPPINESS EVER AGAIN WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY."
So, you know, I've been sort of cycling on the spectrum between those two (currently I'm at #1, which is nice), but this weekend I found:
State-of-being #3: Anger. Note that this is not frustration, which falls under #2. Rather, it is best summed up as: "Maybe not all of this is great but I am going to finish it anyway because I REFUSE TO LET THIS THING WIN. It has made a shambles of my life and IT IS GOING TO PAY FOR THAT."
For the record, this is apparently the point in the thesis writing process where you start fantasizing about finishing your thesis, turning it in, and then burning it in effigy in your back garden. (Only in effigy, of course. I'm sure it would be more cathartic to burn the whole thing, but I'm not going to waste that much paper and ink, come on. That stuff costs money.)
I did manage to finish it, though, and not only does it mean that I now have 90+ pages (double-spaced), but my advisor also liked it! Yay! And I met with my thesis mentor on Thursday, and she also said that she's been finding it interesting and followable, even without a background in TV, so double-yay!
[A thesis mentor, for the record, is a student who has a background as a writing mentor and helps look over your thesis while you're writing it. Thesis mentors are usually most useful for people whose advisors aren't quite as thorough as mine, I think, but I occasionally have issues balancing what I comprehend with that others are likely to comprehend, and I wanted to make sure my readers didn't get lost in my TV talk. Betsy is an amazing critic and editor, but she's also even more familiar with TV shows and their history than I am, so I wanted someone with more of an outside perspective.]
So today I get to write my summary of Hawaii Five-0, and then if I'm not done by tomorrow I'm just putting it aside because tomorrow I start on my FINAL CHAPTER/SECTION/THING. Which so help me god I am going to finish before the end of spring break, in addition to thoroughly outlining my introduction and conclusion, and then I am going to edit like nobody's business. SO MUCH EDITING. Editing which is probably also going to involve a lot of rewriting, which is why I need as much time for it as possible.
I'm coming down the home stretch, guys, and I think I have a little too much momentum behind me.
But anyway! After I finished that section at 3 AM on Wednesday morning, I spent Wednesday and Thursday typing up some of my notes, which I really should have done earlier. I've tried to do as much hardcopy stuff as I can, to save my eyes and also because if I'm reading a physical book it's easier to take physical notes, but it's really more convenient to have it all digitized. I tried having notes on my wall connected to each other with string, but it was taking too much time to write all the quotes and stuff down again. It's irritating, though, because that's really what I want to be doing — I want to be able to have a string connecting to something else and something else. I know that my thesis itself can't look like a three-dimensional concept map (even if it would make SO MUCH MORE SENSE that way), but I wish at least my notes could. What I really want, honestly, is Tony Stark's hologram technology from the Iron Man movies. I could put all of my typed-up notes there, move them around with just the touch of a finger, and then copy&paste them into my outlines where appropriate. I'm a really visual person; things make more sense to me that way.
But so it goes. I may end up trying to figure out if I can arrange everything in InDesign; we'll see. If that goes well I'll post a copy here, never fear, ducklings.
Oh! I did do some other things this week besides thesis work. Mostly cooking-stuff, actually: I made dill pesto, and beet burgers (DELICIOUS, surprisingly enough. Good with cheese and ketchup, actually), and lemon curd, and yogurt squares:
which are divine when warm, taste a little like a healthy version of cheesecake bars, and saved me a lot when I needed a breakfast on the go. Or a dessert on the go. Or a snack on the go. Or really just when I wanted to eat one, honestly.
Besides that, I made chocolate beet cake, which was excitingly magenta on top and also was a sneaky vegetable cake because it didn't taste particularly like beets:
and also made fruit leather (apple-lemon-blueberry) and braided lemon-cream cheese bread (I only got the photo of it before it went into the oven, sorry):
and knishes.
Knishes, in case you haven't heard of them, are one of the Jewish versions of that age-old staple: filling wrapped in dough. Generally some sort of potato-based filling, since my people are from Eastern Europe and we need our hearty starches in order to survive the cold and miserable winters. Mine were potato and caramelized onion, and a little more than half had carrots and broccoli mixed in for the sake of healthy eating. And they turned out fantastically, honestly; the dough was perfectly flaking, and the onions got a little burnt but still tasted fantastic. I think I liked the veggie ones the best. Now I just need to figure out who to feed them to, though, since I might have a few too many and only Housemate Katie will eat them. (Delightful Housemate David does not like onions, apparently, since he's a weirdo; Previously-Mentioned Housemate Natalia left on Thursday; and Delightful Housemate Kristen left earlier today. It's only Saturday and it's already a little lonely here.)
(Delightful Housemate Kristen also spent a great deal of the week miserably sick and then miserably snowed-in, until her parents came to pick her up today so she didn't have to drive home and worry about getting dizzy or sleepy on the road. Poor Delightful Housemate Kristen; if the things that I cooked coincided more with the things she is willing to eat, I would have spoiled her rotten over the past few days. But she is home now, with her dog and her fireplace, so I suppose I can't fault her too much for abandoning us.)
If I hadn't been writing a thesis I'd probably be in NYC right now, actually, but as much as I wanted to, I couldn't justify going when I knew I would inevitably end up spending time with friends instead of getting work done. But maybe that's for the best, anyway, because it means that I didn't have to spend my Friday 1) going to ice skating (last class of the semester!), 2) getting my stitches out (literally took two minutes, holy crap), 3) going to taiko (SO GOOD. SO. GOOD.), 4) having a meeting with my thesis advisor, and then 5) dragging my stuff over to the bus, 6) through like a foot of snow.
So I guess the weather and my thesis were in cahoots? I can't complain, anyway. I got to spend a night in eating delicious knishes, and I don't have to pack until Monday, and my internet is decisively off so I am ready to continue writing my thesis.
…Just as soon as I stop stalling by making this blog post as long as possible. Wow. 1888 words? Yikes.
Okay, seriously, I'm done. (1895.) Until next week, ducklings! Have a happy "I don't know if it's your spring break but it's my spring break so let's celebrate" — and let's all hope it warms up a little, hmmm?

In the view of Thomas Kidd of Baylor University, senior fellow at Baylor's Institute for Studies of Religion and Author of God of Liberty: A Religious History of the American Revolution, the real facts of history in the heated debate over whether America was founded as a Christian nation or a secular nation, confounds both sides in the debate.
Thomas Kidd, in his view point analysis, published in Desert News, examined the role of faith in the founding of America and concluded that the reality of America's founding is more complicated than most participants in the rancorous secularist-religious state debate often portray it.
He begins his argument by pointing out the paradoxical fact that those who were at the forefront of promotion of separation of Church and State in the founding of the U.S. were themselves Evangelical Christians who, from experience, became convinced of the need for separation of Church and State. Their conviction arose from the realization that the State only tended to persecute dissenters when it identified itself officially with a particular sect or religion.
Kidd illustrates with reference to Virginia which was established with the Anglican Church as official religion. In the 1740s of the The Great Awakening, non-Anglican preachers, especially Evangelical Baptists, began severely criticizing the state and the Anglican establishment for spiritual lifelessness, sparking off what Kidd termed a first American Revolution in the religious sense.
The Anglican authorities began persecuting Evangelicals in the late 1760s. Kidd describes a 1771 incident in Caroline County, in which the Baptist pastor John Waller, was attacked by an Anglican parson who shoved the butt of a whip into his mouth to stop him from preaching and had him horsewhipped. He describes another occasion in which a preacher James Ireland was jailed and his followers, mostly African-Americans, whipped. Kidd describes the attempt of the authorities to kill Ireland in prison by attempting to suffocate him with burning brimstone and "Indian pepper" but Ireland continued preaching to his congregation from the cell.
James Madison, "Father" of the American constitution, in his formative years, witnessed the Anglican persecution of the Evangelicals and was deeply opposed to it. His experience led him, in his political career, to champion the principle of separation of Church and State, and religious liberty. James Madison, Thomas Jefferson and their colleagues enshrined religious freedom in the 1776 Virginia Declaration of Rights. Madison and other Evangelicals who supported him insisted that the government should stop supporting the churches.
Virginia's Act for Establishing Religious Freedom of 1786, written by Thomas Jefferson in 1777, guaranteed that:
no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship place or ministry whatsoever nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief, but all men shall be free to profess an by argument to maintain their opinion in matters of religious.
But Kidd begins from this point to argue, curiously, that while the the First Amendment prohibition of 1791, was intended to establish separation of Church and State, not even the deist Jefferson envisioned a totally secular public sphere. He cites, to support his questionable argument, the fact that Jefferson routinely attended religious services in government buildings and that even though Jefferson was the author of the 1802 letter in which he declared that the First Amendment had erected a "wall of separation" between church and state, yet, the same weekend he sent this letter to the Danbury Baptist Association of Connecticut, a Baptist Minister named John Leland preached before a joint session of Congress with the president in attendance.
Kidd points out the paradox of the fact that Evangelical Baptists were the staunchest advocates of separation of Church and State (obviously from the fact that they were at the receiving end of Anglican persecution at the time of the founding of the American state), yet in their strong religious convictions, they freely associated with a skeptical deist politician like Jefferson because they saw him as representing the forces of religious freedom for Americans. Kidd then concludes, paradoxically, without any evidence to show that though America's founders were not all devout Christians they had Christian principles in mind.
Kidd misses the significant point that can be drawn from his synopsis of the Founding of America when he concludes that America was founded with Christian principles in mind. The principle of separation of Church and State which is the pillar on which the American constitution was erected is not a "Christian principle," but a liberal philosophical principle consistent only with deist theology. Nowhere in the bible is the principle of separation of Church and State taught. Christianity, in its Judaic heritage, is an exclusivist religion which hopes ultimately for the triumph of the Christian religious view point in secular life. He also overstates the significance of the support of Evangelical Baptists for Jefferson, a deist. The Baptists found common grounds with a deist not on grounds of religious principles but only from the expedience of the circumstance in which they were at the receiving end of Anglican persecution.
The most significant observation one can make from Kidd's historical analysis is the paradox in the fact that Evangelicals who fought for and secured their freedom of religious worship in America, in partnership with a deist "infidel," would begin, in twenty-first century history, attempting to reverse the triumph of the grounding principle of separation of Church and State which they fought for now that they find themselves having attained to an advantaged position in American political life.

IBM develops blade server-based on "cell" technology
IBM has developed a blade server based on its Cell Broadband Engine, a microprocessor that will power Sony's Playstation 3, due out later this year.

IBM has developed a blade server based on its Cell Broadband Engine, a microprocessor that will power Sony's Playstation 3, due out later this year.
All-Flash: The Essential Guide

The blade server, called BladeCenter H, can be linked to others using a new switch jointly developed by Cisco and IBM.
The Cisco InfiniBand Switch Module is a 4X InfiniBand switch that provides high-speed interconnect capability.
The switch module, specifically designed for this blade server, is four times faster than previous generations, IBM said.
Based on IBM's Power Architecture, the Cell BE processor being used in the new blade server was developed in collaboration with IBM, Sony and Toshiba.
The technology, which has been in development since 2001, aims to mimic how cells in a body unite to form complete physical systems.
The "Cell" architecture will allow all kinds of electronic devices (from consumer products to supercomputers) to work together, signalling a new era in Internet entertainment, communications and collaboration, IBM said.
The cell architecture is designed to use ultra-high-speed broadband connectivity to enable computers to interoperate with one another as one complete system, similar to the way neural cells interoperate in a brain.
IBM said that US defence contractor Raytheon has already said it will be using Cell technology in its missile defence systems.
Along with applications for media, the technology can be deployed in areas like radar, and Cat scanners to process image data in real time, Tikiri Wanduragala, senior consultant at IBM, said.
It can also be deployed in data management applications, where users need to analyse data quickly.

The campground opened in May 2009. It is as goods it was, if not better. Everything was great. Just wished the restaurant was open.

This park looks nice. If you have a dog beware. They charge you a $100 deposit. If your dog does his business and you go inside your RV to get a baggie, meanwhile they come by your site they will flag your dog waste and take $25 from your pet deposit immediately. They have approximately 4 golf carts of workers driving by and through your campsite constantly. Just like another review said, there are no paths to dog walk so you constantly are going through other's campsites. The golf cart patrol is constantly going by, night and day looking to get you. It was an awful feeling. I heard that the original owner passed away a couple years ago and the new owners are way different. When they mow the lawn they don't use a bag on the mower. Grass gets all over your site, then if you are lucky, someone might come by with a blower and blow the cut grass back into your grass and get it all over your RV.
Date of Stay: May, 2009
This campground is great. Pet and kid friendly. The pool is so huge! It has 2 hot tubs, golf, casino, shuttle to drive you around for free. The shuttle drives all through the campground to take you to the casino, horseback riding or to golf. No need for a tow car here. The landscaping is beautiful. Great setting nestled in hills all around you. They have a snack shack by the pool with hamburgers, ice cream, french fries, hot dogs. The spa is located right by the pool. I got a wonderful massage. It was priced just right. We go here about 3-4 times a year.

This park has everything and more that you would expect from a Arkansas State Park.


text: 2011 SEMA Editor's Choice AwardsEvery year, the automotive community converges on Las Vegas for the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show. This is the place where more than 2000 exhibitors display new tires, wheels, superchargers, body kits, and more. It's not the stuff you need to keep your car running but the stuff you need to make it your own. There were over 1500 new products on hand this year, and the PM auto crew picked through them all to find the most innovative, clever, and useful of the bunch. Here are the 15 Editor's Choice winners for 2011. 1 Dupli-Color Tire Shine Coating Price: $8.99 per canSilicone-based tire-shine products give that polished look many people like, but the shine often doesn't last, and the products have an unfortunate tendency to rub off on your hands and clothing. Dupli-Color's Tire Shine Coating is a non-silicone formula that bonds to the tire surface, forming a glossy finish that can last three months or longer. Good news for your hands and clothes, and a pretty sweet value. 2 Right PSI PresSURE Price: Four for $24.95The common wisdom says that drivers should check their tire pressure once a month, but how many of us are that diligent in practice? Yeah, we didn't think so. And it's a shame, since low-pressure tires can be hazardous to your safety and cost you extra gas money. Right PSI provides a simple solution to this with a small gauge that replaces the cap on your tire valve. As you drive, a pressure-sensitive piece within the gauge will show one of three colors to let you know whether your tire-pressure level is lacking, just right, or excessive.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below 3 Snow Socks Price: $95 to $150A textile manufacturer searching for other applications for its ultra-durable fabrics recalled an old trick from childhood: putting socks over shoes for better traction in the snow. The company adapted the concept for cars and called it the Snow Sock. They may not be stylish, but Snow Socks are better than chains in snow, available with studs for ice, and easy to install. They're a great solution for drivers who need to survive snowy conditions. 4 Directus Prodigy 1 Pro Price: $799Smartphones are becoming an integral part of our lives, and Directus thinks they should also become an integral part of your driving experience. At the forefront of mobile integration into vehicles, Directus has come up with hardware that allows any Android phone (and hopefully Apple next) to sync via Wi-Fi with an aftermarket head unit that has a touchscreen display, via an app you download once the hardware is installed. You can access your contacts, calendar, and approved apps such as music and GPS while driving without even touching your phone. At $799, the system isn't exactly cheap, but consider the cost for simply a GPS upgrade in a brand-new car and this deal sounds better and better.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below 5 Escort Live Price: $39.95/year for the appFlashing your headlights to warn other drivers about speed traps is so old-fashioned. These days the locations of speed traps and red-light cameras can live on the cloud, thanks to Escort Live. The system takes advantage of more than a million Escort radar detectors, storing the data they collect in the cloud and making that data accessible to all Escort customers via any Apple or Android tablet or smartphone. To use Escort Live, you must own an Escort radar detector, and you'll need to purchase the SmartCord Live power cord ($99.95) and the Escort Live app ($39.95 for a year). 6 GearWrench Ratcheting Flare Nut Tool Price: TBDYou need flare-nut wrenches to properly loosen brake- and fuel-line fittings. But using them is difficult because you have to constantly remove and reposition the wrench. The GearWrench ratcheting flare-nut tool makes the tedious job much easier. The lower jaw is hinged and spring-loaded, so once it's on the nut, it works like a ratchet socket.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below 7 Yakima Whispbar Price: $449Roof racks can get noisy when highway wind rushes through them. Yakima's new Whispbar sports-rack system has been designed to be significantly quieter. Yakima says wind-tunnel testing has shown that the Whispbar provides a 40 to 70 percent reduction in drag compared to traditional racks. That saves fuel too. 8 Scrubblade Price: Starting at $11.99There are countless wiper blades on the market, but how many effectively clear squashed bugs or thick road grime? The Scrubblade uses two blades that have small knobbies molded into the rubber, which can cut through the nastiest windshield gunk.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below 9 Ingersoll Rand W7150 Price: $499Cordless impact tools are not new, but they just don't have the muscle for the toughest jobs, like unscrewing a rusted axle nut on a 1968 VW Beetle. That has changed with the new Ingersoll Rand W7150 cordless impact wrench. It applies more than 700 foot-pounds of reverse torque. It's pricey, but it out-powers even pneumatic impact wrenches. 10 GoPro HD Hero 2 Price: $299GoPro's tiny video cameras have been a boon for anyone wanting to record high-quality HD video with a compact camera. The company's HD Hero 2 camera is available with Wi-Fi connectivity. The Wi-Fi Bac Pac allows you to control and adjust the camera from your cellphone via Wi-Fi and stream the videos right to the Web.

With suspension looming, Milan Lucic and Claude Julien call out Freddy Meyer for dirty hit
|12.23.10 at 10:43 pm ET
Milan Lucic and Claude Julien were both upset over Thrashers defenseman Freddy Meyer's hit on the Bruins forward that led to the all-out brawl that took place with 4:06 remaining in the B's 4-1 victory at the Garden Thursday night.
"It was a high hit, for sure. I was bleeding from the lip. After a hit like that — that was the second time he's hit me cheap," Lucic said. "That's the second time. You can't give a guy a free pass too many times."
Lucic was given a match penalty for attempt to injure when he punched a helmet-less Meyer in the temple, knocking him to the ground. He now faces a suspension, pending review. Julien said the fight — which also featured Nathan Horton, Marc Savard, and Andrew Ference — could have been avoided were it not for the hit, which he deemed unequivocally cheap.
"Nobody saw that coming until that dirty hit. And that was a dirty hit," Julien said. "I've looked at it again, and it's a cheap hit, and hopefully it's seen that way.
"If you're a player, with all the head injuries we've had with our team, whether it's [Patrice] Bergeron or Savard, and all the other things where we're talking about cutting down on head shots, you can't blame a player for reacting to those kind of things. I think everybody reacted, and that's what happened."
Thrashers head coach and former Bruins assistant coach Craig Ramsay deemed the hit fair and didn't like the Bruins' response.
"Freddy laid a good hit. That is what happens. You throw a big hit and you have to have a fight," Ramsay said. "We are taking hitting out of the game. He gets a penalty for a good hit. They started all the fights and I thought we should have had a power play for the rest of the game."
Julien disagreed and supported the way Lucic's teammates responded.
"I'm going to stand here and say that our guys [stuck] together for something that was, to me, a real cheap shot and uncalled for. Hopefully the league sees it that way, too."

Did you have a chance to check out the limited edition "pumpkin pie" yogurt from one of my favorite yogurt makers? Get it before it's gone ...
Stonyfield's Pumpkin Pie yogurt is a seasonal flavor that's only around for the holidays, and if I'm right, just a few more weeks (or days). So, snatch it up if you see it (it's been sold out every time I've tried to buy it), because taste testers say it's good stuff:
Here's how Erin over at Yummery described it: "It really does taste just like pumpkin pie," she wrote. "In fact, I don't even really like pumpkin pie but I was all over this. It's spicy, creamy, and only has 170 calories and 1.5 grams of fat per cup. I think that's probably equal to one bite of traditional pie."
(P.S. If you can't find this stuff, you can always make your own. Here's my easy method!)
Let's dream up some new holiday yogurt flavors. My list:
*Eggnog (why not?!)
*Apple cider
*Pecan pie
*Sugar cookie

Radio Free Skaro #383 – The Firemaker
|As most of you might be aware, Doctor Who is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2013, and the Three Who Rule are also doing their part to mark the occasion by celebrating and analyzing the era of each producer who helmed the show from 1963 through until the Fox TV movie in 1996. First up, the first producer – the original, you might say – Verity Lambert, who set in stone much of what we know and love about Doctor Who with help from her story editors David Whitaker and Dennis Spooner. And joining us for this segment is Doctor Who writer Jonny Morris to provide insight and opinion on the first two years in the programme's history. We look forward to peeling back the curtain on classic Who for the next several weeks leading up to the 50th anniversary on November 23!
|Show Notes:
– Doctor Who Christmas Special…begins filming!

Recording, touring and the general business of being a pop artist does kind of get in the way. But in our brand-new .Wav Files series we'll be sitting down with some of the most acclaimed music artists of the past few years.
Kicking things off this week are singer Sam Harris and guitarist Noah Feldshuh from Ithaca, New York's alt-rock outfit X Ambassadors.
After the group's biggest fan, Imagine Dragons' Dan Reynolds, got them signed to Interscope the four-piece released their arena-shaking debut album VHS in 2015 and stormed the charts with their inescapable Renegades hit.
They're riding the crest of a wave right now, so RedBull.com/Music sat Harris and Feldshuh in front of Toronto DJ and Indie88's Afternoon Drive host Raina for a quick chat. Hit play and you'll hear the band talking about the importance of celebrating eccentricity, the obstacles that have shaped the band and, most revealing of all, what they last Googled.
It's an eye-opening way to kick-off a series that will see the likes of A$AP Ferg, MS MR, BADBADNOTGOOD and The Neighbourhood and more being grilled over the coming weeks.
