Italian women hope for workplace changes post-Berlusconi
By Catherine Hornby
ROME (Reuters) - Maria Grazia Fera was looking forward to getting back to work after her first child was born. But three months into her maternity leave, her temporary contract as a teacher for the disabled expired and suddenly, her job was gone.
More than two years later, the 31-year-old is still out of work and often passed over by potential employers now she has a small daughter.
Italian women have long complained of discrimination in the workplace, from employers who fail to respect their maternity rights to a patriarchal society that still thinks their primary role is in the home.
Labor reforms touted by the new government of Prime Minister Mario Monti and public disgust at the sex scandals and macho behavior of his predecessor Silvio Berlusconi may finally change all that.
"Our country is still very backward, culturally and on the services side, when it comes to balancing care roles in the family," Labour Minister Elsa Fornero said in a recent interview in the Corriere della Sera newspaper.
"We want to achieve this balance and we are pushing for it with great force," she said.
The female employment rate in Italy, at 46 percent, is the lowest in the European Union after Malta, lagging 68 percent for Italian men and a 58 percent average for women in Europe, official data shows.
Italy ranks 74th, below Ghana and Bangladesh, on gender equality, dragged down by its low score for women's economic participation and opportunity, according to the World Economic Forum's 2011 Global Gender Gap Report. Continued...

St. Joseph's Neighborhood Center provides comprehensive health care, counseling, dental, and social work to individuals and families who lack access to health insurance. Established in 1993 as a ministry of the Sisters of St. Joseph, the Center is committed to raising the health status and quality of life of individuals and families.
As the Center's executive director, Christine Wagner, SSJ, works to establish community partnerships that will benefit those most in need.
"Inviting volunteers, patients and supporters to co-author a positive vision of the future and supporting them in making that vision come true is the most fulfilling experience there can be, and the best gift we can give the community," she says.
The Center serves approximately 3,500 individuals (22,000 visits) per year. Patients and clients come primarily from the Rochester area and surrounding counties; however, there are no geographic or other limitations to service. Any uninsured or underinsured individual is welcome.
The Center operates on an annual budget of $1.3 million. We receive no federal, state or local government support, so funding comes from three primary areas:

Casinos in the Valley
I am not really opposed to having casinos in the Hudson Valley. I just don't think they will help the locals out as much as people think. I have a good friend who worked in radio in Atlantic City for years. He saw the casinos come in and for most people it didn't make life better. The local shops and restaurants didn't benefit because gamblers stay at the casino and leave "on the bus" after they are done. Sure it will bring some jobs, but it's probably not what we need to "fix" the economic problems of New York. It will be fun for people to go, but let's not fool ourselves into thinking this is going to turn things around for most people. Just my opinion. You gotta problem wit dat?

From the 1950s to 2009, the western forecourt of the Royal Exhibition Building was an asphalt car park - useful, but hardly befitting the World Heritage classification of the site. Certainly there was no trace of the ornamental garden planted there for the 1880 Melbourne International Exhibition.
Download the 16 October 2009: Time-lapse of the former car park video
Cue World Heritage, World Futures: a major project that began in October 2009. Funding for this project was provided form the Victorian Property Fund on the approval of the Minister for Consumer Affairs.
The project's three phases: excavation of the site to recover artefacts from the original 1880s garden, installation of an enormous rainwater storage tank, and restoration of the heritage garden and circular drive - are almost complete.
Landscapers have installed the watering system and are now preparing the ground for planting. Within the next month the project will be finished and a beautiful water-wise garden will return to Rathdowne Street.
This extensive watering system will use the water from the new rainwater storage tank to ensure the garden stay lush and green sustainably.Source: Museum Victoria
So keep an eye on the final flurry of activity behind those purple hoardings this month; the World Heritage, World Futures blog contains posts on the project's progress from the very beginning if you'd like to know more.

America Ferrera Gets Teary Over Canceled 'Ugly Betty'
America Ferrera broke down in tears Sunday night at the Imagen Awards when accepting her award for Best Television Actress. She won at the ceremony for Latino actors for her work on the tragically canceled Ugly Betty.
"I'm going to try and not cry right now," Ferrera said, already in tears. "I just love her [Betty]. I love the show. It was a period of my life that was just magical."
Someone called out from the crowd "We're sad!" We're sad too! But the girl can cheer up a little: she's got a new rock on her finger from fiance Ryan Piers-Williams and a healthy film career in front of her.
"I know I'm very excited about my
future," Ferrera said. "I'm not afraid I'm not going to work again.
That's not why I'm crying." It's because sometimes, goodbyes come a little too soon. RIP Ugly Betty.

Tribal Science - Mike McRae
09 March 2011 , 11:00 PM by Peter Gooch
Ever wondered why so many people belong to something...clubs, institutions, groups, organisations, etc. Sometimes it's for work, but often it's driven by behaviour. Mike McRae argues that we evolved to get along in tribes - that our brains are driven by beliefs and biases, and the need to belong. The behaviour came first.....our interest in many things - like science came later ... But unfortunately, because of the way we've developed....our social way of thinking then interferes with our capacity to think critically. No wonder we're so messed up and confused. It's all in Mike's book Tribal Science - Brains, Beliefs & Bad Ideas.

Mike your answer to the statement on p110 "A is looking at S,s is looking at J. A is a man, and J is a woman, S is unknown.
Is a man looking at a woman?"
If S is a dog or cat, nothing in the information precludes this, c is the only answer that is true.
On the basis of unsupported assumption that because A an J are human Then S is also then A is probabally corect

Death of the Stars
Monday, May 5, 2014 - 10:40am
Science Magazine
The Seattle Aquarium sits on Pier 59, above the cold, dark waters of Puget Sound. As children run inside its wood-beamed atrium, Lesanna Lahner peers into the largest display tank. A few salmon swim idly past barren rocks. "This used to be full of sea stars," says Lahner, the aquarium's veterinarian. No more. The five-armed echinoderms, sometimes known as starfish, are victims of a mysterious wasting syndrome that has ravaged the east and west coasts of North America.

wiper motor won't run
I am using a 1984 Mazda pickup wiper motor, switch, and intermittent relay in my roadster (basically an all 1981 Ford F-150 wiring harness and system). Before fabricating the wiper mounting brackets last spring I bench tested the wiper motor and it seemed to spin okay. Last week I finally got around to hooking up the installed motor and now it does not run.
I uploaded the Mazda wiring diagram here but the quality is not that great. http://hotrodders.com/gallery/showph...cat/500/page/1
If you can't make it out you can go here (autozone) and click on Figure 12 http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBr...3d80207719.jsp
I have taken the motor back out of the car to test and inspect and discovered one immediate situation which makes me very curious. The case on the motor is highly magnetized...at all times (note picture below). If you pull the case apart and remove the armature, neither the armature windings or the case by itself is magnatized. But when you attempt to re-assemble, there is a huge magnetic draw between the case and the armature windings. This seems odd to me so I wanted to bounce it off the experts.
If this is indeed suspect, I'm wondering if it could have occured during the fabrication process. I had to weld in the brackets for the motor with the motor installed. Is it possible that by welding fairly close to the motor I did something to mess of the polarity of the motor windings? And if so, is there a possible solution?
The other thing that makes me suspect is that when I put my tester on the switch and motor I get continuity from the hot wire going into motor all the way out of the motor and to the switch and the the ground wire coming off the switch. I can also get continuity in some (but not all) switch positions from the hot-in wire through the motor and out through the case.
If I hook the motor, switch and intermittent relay up as shown in the diagram, and put my voltage tester on it, I show 13 volts on the meter but the motor does not turn.
I did a site search on wiper problems and found this thread helpful http://hotrodders.com/forum/windshie...ld+wiper+motor
regarding the theory etc. I should also point out that according to Doc, the ground off the wiper switch would normally go to the ignition switch in order to complete the ground (I'm assuming this is so the wipers would only work in the run position). For the sake of my testing, I am running this wire direct to chassis ground.

There are a lot of myths about welding involving automobiles. One is that if you weld on a frame with an engine in it all the ring gaps will line up. This is totally ridiculous. It is certainly possible to mess up electrical and electronic devices by welding on or near them though. I suspect that is what happened to the motor. As far as magnetized, isn't that a permanent magnet motor?
deleted post because the ss board is not on the motor
Last edited by red65mustang; 05-02-2006 at 02:12 PM.
Regarding red65mustangs response: Is this intermittent ss control board in the motor iteself or in the intermittent relay? The reason I ask is that only the motor was installed when I did the welding, not the intermittent relay. Also, there doesn't appear to be anything inside this motor/case that looks damaged or even very complicated for that matter. Just your nomal contacts and brushes (which appear to be in good shape).

The following is from a post by Doc (see above thread link) along with some questions it raised for me regarding how to test the wiper motor.
Doc: "You will note, The power wire (Yellow Orange or Black Yellow) from the fuse runs DIRECTLY to the wiper motor, and is "Hot in Run at all times" , The Switch Provides grounds to the various speeds..( Light blue for high, Black for low speed)
If your trying to wire power through the switch, (the most common oops..) that's bass ackwards , as opposed to the way it works, which is different from the rest of the world..Ground is wired through the switch and power is constant to the motor any time the Ignition switch is on.
With the motor mounted, and the power wire on the motor (Yellow Orange) , and the key on, Jump the Light blue to any good ground, It should run at High speed."
So my question is, why do you need to have the key on in the above test? If you are jumping the light blue wire direct to ground, and the purpose of the wire to the ignition switch is to provide ground (not hot), isn't it redundant to run the light blue wire to ground? Or is the purpose of the above test to determine if your ignition ground is, in fact, working properly? [Note: edit added after a little more thinking - I assume the reason for turning the switch on is only to provide power to the hot side of the motor - not to provide a ground through the ignition switch, correct? The ground thru the ignition is still redundant.
I would guess I'm missing something here...but shouldn't any wiper motor be able to be tested simply by hooking the incoming hot wire on the wiper motor to a hot source and then grounding either the hi or low wire exiting the wiper motor? Or is there something unique about wiper motors that requires more than one ground. (Actually, since the case is also grounded when it is mounted, it would appear they could be THREE grounds).
If I conduct the above test (simple hot to motor and grounding either the hi or low exit wire) my motor doesn't spin. It DOES however produce a spark when I touch the hot off the battery to the hot wire to the motor or a 12 volt reading on a voltmeter - so it does seem to be running to ground - just not spinning the motor.

WHEN Refering to GM types of wiper systems: The reason you need the key on , Is because the wiper motor in it's stock habitat is wired to the Switched , fused side of the Ignition buss..to provide power to the hot side of the motor in run..(the same reason it won't run when the key is off on stock wiring.)
The Delay, the Low, the High speed functions are simply nothing more than "Taps" so to speak, from the OTHER SIDE of the motor winding to Ground, to provide speed change..
Since the wiper motor has power constantly in run, all it needs is the other side of the motor winding to ground to complete the circuit.
You can, in fact, run power to the power terminal on the wiper motor, and ground to any of the three terminals on the wiper motor to bench test it..
My reference was to the wiper motor in it's stock habitat, where it's simply easier to run ground to any of the three speed terminals on the plug..and just turn the key on rather than manhandle a second jumper wire.
The ignition Switch SHOULD not have any grounds on it at all. The speed switch movable contact is hardwired to ground.
If you have Power to the Main power terminal, and ground to ANY of the three wiper speed controls AND ground to the motor body, and it does not run, or produce a big spark, the motor is either bad, or the "Park" limit switch internal the motor is stuck or broken rotor locking the motor..
As for the magnetic attraction on the wiper motor case, if you pull that down , I'll bet you'll find two curved magnets mounted around the circumference of the inside of the winding body, I just check a few around here, and there is a minor magnetic attraction on them also, (different from yours though..Corvette types , flat and plastic covers..) That's probably normal.
Does that clear that up?
Last edited by docvette; 05-02-2006 at 06:05 PM. Reason: I before E except after a 12 pack...
Can one get at the park limit switch in the event it is stuck? What does it look like and what exactly is it supposed to do?

Doc here,
The park limit switch is internal the wiper transmission and is a micro switch..
I suppose you could get to it..but at that point I think it would be easier to replace the whole unit then go bonkers trying to align up the gearing again ( a little too much, not enough..) so that park is actually full down actuated and span and all that is correct again..
More energy than I would expend on it..
you used the wrong word, that is not a "intermittent" motor set up, it's a simple 3 speed motor,
agree with doc, get another from the yard, test it there
LOL, I was right for the wrong reason?...you did "fry it" while welding probably
Regarding replacement (as opposed to repair) - it's not good news. We don't have much in the way of "junk yards" around where I live. Most have turned into scrap metal yards - and they don't keep many cars around to scavenge parts any more. The one yard that still does have cars doesn't have any old Mazda pickups. The only yard that I've found that could get the part...is getting it from another supplier, not their own yard, so the price is very high. From CarQuest its $130 and from the yard it's $80. Also, on the internet I'm finding prices in the $80 plus range. Seems steep to me.

Cboy, try Car-part.com
Dewey, I just checked at Car-part.com for a wiper motor for a B2200 Mazda truck. $25. Thing is though, they ask is it's equiped with am/fm or am/ no radio. Could it possibly be interference from another system in the rat?
Most of the time, this site helps me find the oddball stuff.
In a while, Chet.

Analysis: After the Vikings emerged from NFL draft night with a trio of first-round picks, few teams around the league were left with as many intriguing possibilities for the upcoming season as they possess.
It already would have been an interesting offseason for the Vikings after they traded one prominent wide receiver, Percy Harvin, to the Seattle Seahawks, but signed another, Greg Jennings, as a free agent. The loss of Harvin was further mitigated for the Vikings when they got a wideout, Tennessee's Cordarrelle Patterson, with the third of their three first-round draft selections.
The other two first-rounders, defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd and cornerback Xavier Rhodes, were added to the defense. The Vikings tried but failed to re-sign veteran cornerback Antoine Winfield after releasing him. He signed instead with the Seahawks. Even so, the arrivals of Floyd and Rhodes mean the defense has been upgraded.
The issue, as always, is whether there is enough help for tailback Adrian Peterson. He chased the single-season NFL rushing record while carrying the Vikings to the playoffs last season. The Vikings need more from quarterback Christian Ponder. And it's reasonable to believe that Ponder will produce more as he enters his second full season as an NFL starter, particularly with Jennings and Patterson now in the fold. If not, the Vikings gave themselves an alternative at quarterback by signing Matt Cassel.
The division is tough and there are plenty of teams throughout the NFC capable of being in the mix not only for playoff spots, but also for conference supremacy. The Vikings are surely in that group, and much could depend upon how rapidly the three prized rookies progress.
Why Redskins fans should care: The teams play Nov. 7 at Minnesota.
Conversation starter: How high is Adrian Peterson's ceiling? We know he can run for 2,000 yards. Can he hit 2,250? 2,500?

New App For Getting a Ride Could Be Coming to Gainesville
GAINESVILLE - A new app could be coming to Gainesville - but some are worried if it does - it could hurt taxi drivers.
uberX ads have been popping up on Facebooks in Gainesville.
It's an app that connects people to drivers, like a taxi service.
But unlike a taxi service, it is not bound by the same taxes and government regulations.
Jeremiah Tattersall, North Central Florida Labor Council - "they try to circumvent regulations that are in place for a reason so it's a lot of unfair competition it's putting taxi drivers and limo drivers out of business because they have to abide by the laws and ordinances of the community and uberX doesn't have to do that."
Consumers we spoke to say they would definetely use it for a ride.
The app spokesperson did not confirm for us if the app was coming to Gainesville but said that they "often test ads to measure the viability of uberX in different markets."

The Reformation was a split in the Latin Christian church instigated by Luther in 1517 and evolved by many others over the next decades, a campaign which created and introduced a new approach to Christian faith called 'Protestantism'. It is more commonly referred to as either the 'reformations' or specific '*** reformation' in recognition of the many different ideas which evolved over the western world, including Europe and the colonies. This split has never been healed, and doesn't look likely too, but don't think of the church divided between older Catholics and new Protestantism, because there is a huge range of Protestants ideas and offshoots.

The Pre-Reformation Latin Church:

In the early 16th century western and central Europe followed the Latin Church headed by the Pope. While religion permeated the lives of everyone in Europe – even if the poor focused on religion as a way to improve day to day issues and the rich on improving the afterlife – there was widespread dissatisfaction with many aspects of the church: at it's bloated bureaucracy, perceived arrogance, avarice and abuses of power. There was also widespread agreement that the church needed to be reformed, to restore it to a purer and more accurate form. While the church was certainly vulnerable to change, there was little agreement on what should be done.

A massively fragmented reform movement, with attempts from the Pope at the top to priests at the bottom, was ongoing, but attacks tended to focus on only one aspect at a time, not the whole church and the local nature led only to local success. Perhaps the main bar to change was the belief that the church still offered the only route to salvation. What was needed for mass change was a theologian/argument which could convince a mass of both people and priests that they did not need the established church to save them, allowing reform to run unchecked by previous loyalties. Martin Luther presented just such a challenge.

Luther and the German Reformation:

In 1517 Luther, a Professor of Theology, grew angry at the selling of indulgences and produced 95 theses against them. He sent them privately to friends and opponents and may, as legend has it, have nailed them to a church door, a common method of starting debate. These theses were soon published and the Dominicans, who sold lots of indulgences, called for sanctions against Luther. As the papacy sat in judgement and later condemned him, Luther produced a powerful body of work, falling back on scripture to challenge the existing papal authority and rethinking the nature of the entire church.

Luther's ideas and style of preaching in person soon spread, partly among people who believed in him and partly among people who just liked his opposition to the church. Many clever and gifted preachers across Germany took on the new ideas, teaching and adding to them faster and more successfully than the church could keep up with. Never before had so many clergy switched to a new creed which was so different and over time they challenged and replaced every major element of the old church. Shortly after Luther a Swiss preacher called Zwingli produced similar ideas, beginning the related Swiss Reformation.

Brief Summary of Reformation Changes:

Souls were saved without the cycle of penitence and confession (which was now sinful), but by faith, learning and the grace of God.

Scripture was the sole authority, to be taught in the vernacular (the local languages of the poor).

A new church structure: a community of believers, focused around a preacher, needing no central hierarchy.

The two sacraments mentioned in the scriptures were kept, albeit altered but the other five were downgraded.

In short, the elaborate, costly, organised church with often absent priests was replaced by austere prayer, worship, and local preaching, striking a chord with lay people and theologians like.

Reformed Churches Form:

The reformation movement was adopted by lay people and powers, merging with their political and social aspirations to produce sweeping changes on everything from the personal level – people converting – to the highest reaches of government, where towns, provinces and whole kingdoms officially and centrally introduced the new church, even barring the old across . Government action was needed as the reformed churches had no central authority to disband the old church and instill the new order. The process was haphazard – with much regional variation – and carried out over decades.

Historians still debate the reasons why people, and the governments who reacted to their wishes, took up the 'Protestant' cause (as the reformers became known), but a combination is likely, involving seizing land and power from the old church, genuine belief in the new message, 'flattery' by lay people at being involved in religious debate for the first time and in their language, deflecting dissent onto the church and freedom from old church restrictions.

The Reformation did not occur bloodlessly. There was military conflict in the Empire before a settlement allowing old church and protestant worship was passed, while France was riven by the 'Wars of Religion', killing tens of thousands. Even in England, where a protestant church was established, both sides were persecuted as the old church Queen Mary ruled inbetween protestant monarchs.

The Reformers Argue:

The consensus which led to theologians and laity forming reformed churches soon broke down as differences between all parties emerged, from some reformers growing ever more extreme and apart from society (such as Anabaptists), leading to their persecution, to the political side developing away from theology and onto defending the new order. As ideas of what a reformed church should be evolved, so they clashed with what rulers wanted and with each other: the mass of reformers all producing their own ideas led to a range of different creeds which often contradicted each other, causing more conflict. One of these was 'Calvinism', a different interpretation of Protestant thought to that of Luther, which replaced the 'old' thinking in many places in the middle to late sixteenth century. This has been dubbed the 'Second Reformation'.

Aftermath:

Despite the wishes and actions of some old church governments and the Pope, Protestantism established itself permanently in Europe. People were affected at both a deeply personal, and spiritual level, finding a new faith, as well as the socio-political one, as an entirely new layer division was added to the established order. The consequences, and troubles, of the Reformation remain to this day.

London • America's National Security Agency may hold crucial evidence about one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the Cold War — the cause of the 1961 plane crash which killed United Nations Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold, a commission of prominent jurists says.
Widely considered the U.N.'s most effective chief, Hammarskjold died as he was attempting to bring peace to the newly independent Congo. It's long been rumored that his DC-6 plane was shot down, and an independent commission set up to evaluate new evidence surrounding his death on Monday recommended a fresh investigation — citing radio intercepts held by the NSA as the possible key to solving the case.

Nutrition Support Blog: Nothing Cute About Acute Pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis is one of the areas where noticeable progress in regards to the medical and nutrition therapy is evident in the past 25 years. The changes in practice for treatment of pancreatitis could serve as a model of the benefits of therapy based on data rather than knowledge of physiology. Traditional treatment of severe acute pancreatitis included nasogastric suction and suppression of gastric acid secretion because acid in the duodenum was a documented stimulus to pancreatic secretion. Patients were also maintained on strict gut-rest and provide with the "newfangled" parenteral hyperalimentation to counter the known hypermetabolism of severe pancreatitis.
Challenges to traditional medical therapy started as early as 1974 when a controlled trial suggested no benefit of strict mandatory nasogastric suction in the outcome of pancreatitis1, but it was not until the mid-1980's before additional research started to alter practices of mandatory NG suction and universal acid suppression.2 Randomized studies of nutrition support in acute pancreatitis did not appear until 1987, and were among the first studies documenting that early parenteral nutrition (PN) created net negative effects without measurable benefit. Research demonstrating the feasibility and superiority of jejunal enteral nutrition support in acute pancreatitis did not appear until a decade later in 1997. Additional studies have cemented the preference for jejunal enteral support over parenteral support in acute pancreatitis (see http://www.medicine.virginia.edu/clinical/departments/medicine/divisions/digestive-health/nutrition-support-team/nutrition-articles/KrenitskyArticle-9_07.pdf for references).
While we have indeed "come a long way, baby" (archaic reference to a Virginia Slims commercial) regarding our approach to nutrition support for patients with severe acute pancreatitis, there are still a number of unanswered questions. The data comparing gastric with jejunal nutrition in severe pancreatitis has a number of notable flaws (outlined in the previous article link) that limit any take home conclusions. Additionally there is insufficient data to know how soon after the onset of severe pancreatitis to initiate nutrition support. We know that nearly 75% of patients with acute pancreatitis resolve within 7-10 days and do not benefit from starting any nutrition support beyond intravenous fluids. Those patients with more severe disease complicated by pancreatic necrosis or pseudocyst formation may not be able to tolerate oral intake for an extended period and are more likely to benefit from jejunal feeding. However, we do not have good data about the optimal time for these patients to remain without food by mouth.
Our clinical experience and observational data3 suggest that there may even be a clinical benefit for maintaining a longer period of nil per oris (No soup for You) in some patients receiving extended conservative therapy for pancreatitis complicated by a pseudocyst or necrosis. We recognize that this idea of maintaining no food by mouth for an extended period in an attempt to improve outcomes in complicated pancreatitis is controversial, and that it has not been tested in a controlled study. There is an inconvenience and potential social embarrassment with home nasal tubes, and known risks from percutaneous tubes like a PEG-J or direct PEJ. However, there is a distinct possibility that extending the period of no food by mouth and providing jejunal feedings may improve outcomes, decrease admissions and accelerate recovery in these cases of complicated pancreatitis. However, our past experiences with treating pancreatitis based on what we think we know teaches us that there is a real need for a randomized study to evaluate the full risks and potential benefits of extended jejunal feedings in this population.

Wednesday, Sept. 11: Edinburgh.
"We have to make truth and nonviolence not matters for mere individual practice but for practice by groups and communities and nations," Gandhi once said. "That at any rate is my dream. I shall live and die in trying to realize it."
Greetings from Scotland! I'm spending a few weeks traveling around beautiful Scotland, speaking everywhere on peace and nonviolence. I will write about the trip as soon as I catch my breath, but this week, I thought I'd offer another excerpt from my new book, "The Nonviolent Life." This is from the conclusion. The book is available from paceebene.org. As we say in Scotland, cheers!
One day, when Jesus was marching toward Jerusalem, some of the hated enemy Samaritans denounced him for his nonviolent campaign. The disciples were furious, appalled, filled with moral indignation. They suddenly forgot Jesus' lofty talk: "Love your enemies"; "offer no violent resistance to one who does evil"; "blessed are the peacemakers." They were ready for war, and they had a just cause.

Numbers Trouble via the Chicago Review
View image
View image
We'd been hearing for a month or so about a forthcoming article in the Chicago Review called "Numbers Trouble," an essay written by Juliana Spahr and Stephanie Young on gender and contemporary poetry, plus a response by Jennifer Ashton. When I ran into Joshua Kotin, the editor of the Chicago Review at a poetry event, I told him about the buzz and asked if he'd like us to blog it. "Sure," he said, "that would be great." He went one step further and sent me electronic versions of the essays. I passed these along to Ange Mlinko and Alicia Stallings to see if they wanted to respond, and only this week, in the spirit of inclusiveness, I also sent them to our other bloggers.
In this post, we've published (with Joshua Kotin's permission) a chart and table that accompanies the Chicago Review articles, which shows the percentage of women vs. men being published in literary journals over time. We published our invidivual responses (Ange's, Alicia's, mine) to the articles as separate posts. You can read the original articles in this month's Chicago Review, which is now available for purchase.

CEO Pay Transparency Would Make CEO Pay Too Transparent, Companies Say
Major company officials don't think it's such a good idea for their firms to be transparent about CEO pay. Why you ask? Well, it could open them up to criticisms about CEO pay.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has received more than 200 letters about the equity pay provision, a measure in the Dodd-Frank financial reform act that would require them to disclose the disparity in salaries between executives and rank-and-file workers, the Wall Street Journal reports. Advocates of the rule argue that it will help investors better evaluate the health of a company, but opponents say it will -- gasp -- expose firms to criticism about CEO pay.
"The ratio is not going to be a meaningful way to help investors but will be used as a political tool to attack companies," David Hirschmann, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Center for Capital Markets, told the WSJ.
Hirschmann is probably right, given that the ratio between CEO pay and average worker pay is pretty embarrassing at many companies. On average, CEOs made 231 times what workers made in 2011, according to an analysis from the Economic Policy Institute cited by the Los Angeles Times. An average worker would have to work 3,489 years to make the salary of a top-paid CEO.
And CEO pay is exploding while the wages of us regular people are staying somewhat stagnant. CEO pay grew 127 times faster than worker pay over the past 30 years. Last year, the 15 CEOs at the top U.S. and European banks saw their pay rise by about 12 percent on average to $12.8 million.
Workers aren't taking the discrepancy sitting down. Many workers groups have been pressuring the SEC to implement the equity pay provision, according to ABC News. In addition, shareholders have also been taking their companies to task for paying executives too much; Citigroup shareholders struck down CEO Vikram Pandit's pay plan earlier this year and some other, smaller banks followed suit.

Angry Taylor Swift Fan Gets Pinched by the Cops
Posted Tuesday July 9, 2013 5:23 PM GMT
Most of her loyal followers are positive and encouraging, but Taylor Swift also has to deal with the hater contingent as well.
For instance, a man named Joseph Jackson posted threatening comments about the "Holy Ground" songstress on Facebook before showing up at her Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania gig over the weekend.
Jackson brought a sign that read "Taylor Swift is Satan," and it didn't take the police long to track him down and arrest him.
Joseph reportedly told the cops, "Taylor Swift is Satan and that 6,000 years is six days and death comes on the sixth day, so Taylor Swift is in danger."
Needless to say, Mr. Jackson won't be hanging around T. Swizzle anytime soon!

Most people I know have got nightmare stories from their teen years about Clearasil or Oxy products bleaching their towels or pillowcases. The last thing problem skin needs is harsh chemicals, so I've picked a few gentler skin treatments for spot-prone skin. Harsh soaps will encourage the skin to produce more oil, so it's important to use kinder products. A peel might sound scary but chemicals that dissolve dead skin cells
are often less abrasive than mechanical scrubbers, aka your everyday
exfoliators. Garnier's Pure Skin Purifying Peel Kit (left) refines while you
I'm a bit of a fan of Boots' Expert range and their cleansing scrub is
just the thing to discourage the blocking of pores. The Body Shop's
mattifying moisturiser will keep your skin soft without any shine.
Aloe Vera gel is a gentle non-greasy moisturiser, and is very soothing
on stressed out skin. Pure Tea Tree essential oil is great to keep in
your washbag in case of any flare ups.
Boots Expert cleansing scrub: £3.19. Body Shop Tea Tree mattifying moisture gel: £6. Aloe Vera gel from Think Natural: £4.99. Garnier Peel Kit, Superdrug: £5.99. Tea Tree oil, Boots: £3.99.

I am sad that Dogster is going away. I barely got to make any friends. Those cats hogged all the time. So, my good friend Nugget wanted to join Dogster, but he can't. Nugget would have loved playing here on Dogster with me and making friends. I am sorry Nugget. I will tell your mom about another site we can join and play....Aroooooo ! to all my Dogster pals!!!!!
So, what is an attorney? Mama dog said I need one because she is gonna sue me for pain and suffering. I think that is human stuff not dog stuff. I am innocent. I was chewing a super flea bite, and I guess one of my legs was sticking out. Mama dog tripped over me. That interrupted my flea chewing, so I walked out of the room. I learned from Alpha Dog that Mama dog hurt her back, and had to take medicine...Mama dog went to sleep and was snoring. I thought to my dog self...If she is snoring, it must be like when the cats purr, so everything is ok. Mama dog just told me to get out of the bedroom unless I come back with my attorney. I guess I will just not chew my flea bites in that room.
I am not a happy dog during the day. It's too hot. Unless there is a squirrel in the tree, then I forget all about how hot it is...Squirrels are my favorite! I only chase them. I have never caught one. I am happy staying in the house during the day. I like to bug Mama Dog to take me outside in the middle of the night. But, none of my dog neighbors are outside, and Mama Dog does not like me to bark at 1:30 in the morning. I have cats. I like to bother them and try to get them to play. They tell me no. But, I still try. So, I drag my ghostie blankie all over the house. I try to take it outside, but Mama Dog says no. Sigh. What is a dog to do?

Newt Gingrich, the EPA, and Green Skeletons in GOP Closet
Let's not get fooled again.
Link to full story with photo
As you know, The Trail Party is focused on trying to energize the off-road voter to get (and stay) engaged in the political process. Why you ask? That is because ALL land-use decisions are political decisions. And, it matters who we vote into office.
Over the last few weeks, you have seen The Trail Party take on faux conservative lobbyists and task off-road voters to hold politicians accountable.
After reading about Newts newest effort to appear conservative by announcing his proposal to abolish the EPA, I wanted to share my view on this person as he prepares to run for president in 2012.
Article about Newts Proposal
As a soldier in the fight to reform the ESA and other excessive regulations in the mid 1990s, I remember that it was Newt Gingrich who blocked efforts (behind the scenes) by Congressman Richard Pombo and others to reform excessive environmental regulations.
I bring up the following video clip of Newt with Nancy Pelosi promoting Algores climate agenda (which has since been debunked and him disgraced by a massage therapist) and an article about green skeletons that lurk in the closets of various potential GOP presidential candidates.
Video of Newt and Nancy Supporting Algores Climate Agenda
YouTube - Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich Agree on Climate Change
Article on Green Skeletons in the GOP Closet
My goal is to support those political presidential candidates who will appoint pro-access cabinet members and not work behind the scenes to close our historic roads and trails.
The Trail Party will be watching these guys like a hawk as the 2012 election cycle gets underway.

The Killers' Brandon Flowers Wants To Record New Solo Album
The Killers' front-man Brandon Flowers is planning on doing another solo album. Flowers released his first solo album, Flamingo, in 2010 while The Killers were on hiatus.
Flowers explains to NME:
"I'm definitely gonna do another solo record at some point. 'Flamingo' wasn't just me dipping my toes in the water. I really loved it. It was successful, and that helps, but I love those songs and I miss singing them. It wasn't something I had totally planned on, but I'm always writing songs, and I think — or I hope — that I'm always gonna have that. So what else am I supposed to do with myself?"
The Killers are currently touring in support of their 2012 album, Battle Born.

Led by Rabbi Marc Schneier and Russell Simmons President and Chairman respectively, the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding is dedicated to fighting intolerance and promoting understanding between ethnic or religious communities.
FFEU In The News
Rabbi Marc Schneier and Imam Shamsi Ali's book Sons of Abraham in paper back!
Racism and bigotry can infect the fabric of a community but what factors contribute to the rise of these judgments of character in the first place? At a time when incidents of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in particular are on the rise, the newly published paperback version of the book, Sons of Abraham: A Candid Conversation about the Issues That Divide and Unite Jews and Muslims, explores the erroneous ideas that extremists in each religion use to justify harmful behavior. It tackles one of the biggest and most urgent challenges communities all over the world currently face – namely fighting against existing misperceptions and misconceptions about the other. The two authors are leading religious figures from Judaism and Islam. Together they expose the dark roots of the anti-Semitism and Islamophobia that many young Muslims and Jews are still being taught today by their teachers and communities.
Shared Dreams Rabbi Marc Schneier and Martin Luther King III
"The history of Americans of African descent and Jewish descent is a story of two groups of people who have suffered uncommon persecution but who have persevered with uncommon faith. This is our common ground. We share the dream of a beloved community where one can live without the threat of racism, poverty, or violence. We share the dream of a beloved community where one can live without the threat of racism, poverty, or violence. We share the dream of a beloved community where the worst of the human spirit is defeated by our best. In Shared Dreams, Rabbi Schneier reiterates our commonality, as upheld by Martin Luther King, Jr. and fuels the reader to continue to work for the advancement of race relations among all God's children."

I've got that same Champion. Mine is the lightweight version, great carry piece. No failures whatsoever thru 300 rounds of ball and hp. Shoots POA and very accurate.
The Springfield Champion is by far one of the best CCW's on the market. The balance is perfect in the 4" barrel, accuracy is superb and they can be had in several configurations. I originally bought a GI WWII version for a song and when I found out just how accurate it was decided to make it more to my liking. Here is the final product:
tex45acp, nice looking gun. I didn't want to be relpacing parts after buying a gun. Also wanted it to be factory stock, since its for ccw.
Tex that is sweet. Can you share what all you had done?
When I first bought the gun I almost sold it but then I took it to the range and man what a shooter it was. So I decided to keep it.
One of the first things I noticed with the gun was all the "cut you deep" sharp edges.......not good for a carry weapon!!! I completely dehorned the slide and frame using files and metal working sandpaper. I paid special attention to the muzzle end of the slide giving it a large radius so that it would not wear easily and not tear up my holster. Then I lowered and flared the ejection port and dehorned all sharp edges there. I also chamfered the magazine opening at the bottom of the grip to aid in mag insertion. I replaced the arched mainspring housing with one that from Guncrafter Industries (they make the .50gi) that is parkerized. I then sent the frame and slide to Springfield to have a set of Novak Extreme Duty Adjustable Tritium sights installed and to have a parkerized beavertail grip safety fitted. I also had them reparkerize the gun. I simply love that finish. When the gun was returned I installed a Cylinder & Slide Trigger Pull Set that brought the trigger pull to 4.75 lbs. I added a McCormick trigger and extended thumb safety. I replaced the extractor, ejector and firing pin with Wilson bulletproof items. I chamfered the barrel opening and highly polished the ramp and chamber to aid in feeding. All in all...I could have bought the same gun for about $100.00 cheaper but I really enjoy working with metal. I am a machinist. I have had other folks ask me to modify their guns but I politely refuse due to liability.
All this work took approximately 12 weeks to complete. My gun functioned flawlessly for over 8000 rounds then a buddy threw enough money at me to buy the gun. I felt that after 8000 rounds and a thourough check with spring replacement, I could comfortably sell the gun to him. He has had it about 6 months now and carries it daily.
I have since bought a new in box, 1992 model stainless Champion. This one has the bushed barrel like the 5" 1911's have. It too is very accurate and I am in the process of some light modification to this one as well. I'll post pics when I am finished.
I agree with your decision, look for a loaded Champion. It is a wonderful carry weapon and will serve you well.
Cant believe ya sold it after all the work ya put into it but if your buddie threw enough cash at ya well then that different.. But would still be a hard sell to meQuote:

It was a nice way to help out a friend who has been there for me numerous times in the past.
I am glad I found another Champion that I can tweak to my liking. I decided on the stainless one so that refinishing is not required.
The Stainless seems like a good ideal.
Tex , any more pics of your former GI? Some of the melt jobs of the 1911 look really nice.
Well, it isn't exactly a melt job but this is the front of the slide that I radiused heavily:
This is the rear. I worked on the back and even had several folks ask me if the ejector is a part of the frame since you can see no defined lines of each piece. As you can see I worked on the beavertail as well. It was sharp and actually cut one of my best concealment shirts on a practice draw.

Moroccan gay magazine pushes limits of expression
By Tom Pfeiffer and Zakia Abdennebi
RABAT (Reuters Life!) - Just 200 copies of North Africa's first gay interest magazine have been sold in Morocco since April, but Islamists are already warning of a threat to traditional family values.
Homosexuality is taboo in the Arab world and Moroccan law punishes "lewd or unnatural acts with an individual of the same sex" with jail terms of up to three years and a fine.
The owners of the magazine Mithly (an Arabic word meaning "the same as me" which has come to mean gay) were prepared for a backlash and already had a back-up plan -- a Web version which will carry its second edition this week.
The paper edition circulated informally because it lacked a distribution license from the government, said Samir Bargachi, general coordinator of Kif-Kif, Morocco's only gay rights group and the magazine's publisher.
But he said Mithly's appearance is a sign of progress on homosexual rights in the conservative north African country, where most gay men and lesbians tend to keep their sexuality a secret for fear of rejection by family and friends.
"Many in Kif-Kif have had no problems with their families... Others have been thrown out of home, had problems at university or at work," said Barghachi by phone from Madrid where he lives.
Kif-Kif -- a north African expression that translates roughly as "all the same" -- is based in Spain, has not been legally recognized in Morocco and cannot campaign openly. Most of Mithly's writers live in Morocco but keep a low profile.
HOMOSEXUALITY "A THREAT" Continued...

Ghosts of the Dam
Chinese Laborers at Lake Chabot
During 1993-94, the C.E. Smith Museum at CSUEB mounted a major exhibit on the archaeological site at Lake Chabot Dam, entitled Yema-po. The site, excavated by students and faculty of the Department of Anthropology, represents the remains of a work camp occupied by the overseas Chinese laborers who constructed the East Bay's San Leandro Reservoir (Lake Chabot) between 1874 and 1875.
This year, Anthropology students will build upon and re-interpret the original exhibit, using many artifacts from the original dig which have not been seen before. This new exhibit – Ghosts of the Dam – serves as a window into the conditions of Chinese immigrants to California in the years immediately preceding the passage of the 1882 Exclusion Act.
The display will be produced in September, October, and November 2008, and is slated for opening around Thanksgiving.

Hey there,
as a frequent buyer across the marketplace I badly miss a cart feature. At this point I have to purchase any item with a single transaction each. As I use Paypal with direct debits I'll have to pay for each transaction a (small) fee.
So it would be really helpful to add items (across the marketplace) to a cart and have a SINGLE checkout.
Yes, I do know the difficulties because of different authors and all that stuff. But it shouldn't be burdened to the buyer at all. Won't be that hard to split the transaction sum into the author's deposits…
Don't know if you've already talked about this. I would love to get some feedback and what other buyers think about that.
Also: Collection > Add to cart… yummie!
It's something I'd love to see too. It's been discussed in great details previously and I don't think they'll be implementing the cart any time soon.http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/why-no-cart-system/61322
Envato already plans to add a shopping cart, but I think it will take some time.http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/new-feature-providing-authors-feedback-on-ratings/120525?page=26#980600
Ty for that info – didn't search through the forums at all.
So +1 from me.

NEW YORK (AP) — A representative for Charlie Daniels says the 76-year-old country singer is recovering after having a pacemaker implanted Thursday.
Daniels was diagnosed Monday with "a mild case of pneumonia." Tests at a Nashville, Tenn.-area hospital revealed that he needed a pacemaker to regulate his heart rate. He's scheduled to be released Friday.
Daniels said in a statement that he's feeling better and looking forward to spending Easter with his family.
His Saturday and Sunday performances at Middle Tennessee State University have been canceled. Concerts with his band on April 5 in Englewood, N.J., and April 6 in Newark, Ohio, have been canceled and will be rescheduled. His tour will resume April 11 in Lynchburg, Va.
Daniels has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry for five years. His hits include "The Devil Went Down to Georgia."

Artist's rendering of the Marlin Class containerships showing LNG storage tanks aft
ship expected in late May 2015. Just last month, Korea's Doosan Engine, under license from MAN Diesel and Turbo, delivered the first 8L70ME-GI engine for TOTE's 3,100-TEU Marlin Class containership. Earlier this year, Doosan completed the engine's Factory Acceptance Tests, a culmination of months of testing to ensure compliance with U.S. regulations and restrictions. TOTE is the launch customer of the ME-GI engine, a significant advancement in propulsion technology. In addition to the engines, two 900 m 3 tanks, manufactured by Cryos, were delivered. These massive stainless steel cryogenic tanks weigh 380 tons each and will store liquefied natural gas aboard the Marlin ships. The containerships are designed by DSEC, the design arm of Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME). The design will include DSME's patented LNG fuel-gas supply systems and a MAN ME-GI dual fuel, slow speed engine. "These vessels are the largest investment in our company's history," says Denise Tabbutt, one of the three sisters who are primary shareholders in TOTE's parent company, Saltchuk Resources. "We have a tremendous amount of confidence in the NASSCO team and we are lucky to have such incredible partners." TOTE has applied for a Title XI ship loan guarantee to construct the two ships. The requested loan amount is $320 million, with the actual cost to TOTE of $366 million, according to the Maritime Administration website. The LNG container ships are expected to enter service in late 2015 and early 2016.
Award winning TOTE has garnered awards from both the international community, as well as here at home. TOTE along with GD-NASSCO were recognized last year at Nor-shipping 2013 in Oslo, Norway, with a Next Generation Award for setting a benchmark for green ship technology. Chiarello was named as a Champion of Change by the Whitehouse earlier this year for the company's fleet changeover to LNG. "I'm extremely honored and proud of that recognition, but from my perspective, it was the result of the entire organization—the Saltchuk organization, the TOTE organization and the many people involved. To create the opportunity based on the things we are doing in the LNG arena, the Orca ships and the Marlin ships. I accepted that award on behalf of the entire organization. It was an honor to be recognized but from our perspective it is recognition for the entire group." 20 MARINE LOG August 2014
Refueling with LNG TOTE has already announced publicly how it plans to refuel its new 3,100-TEU dual fuel Marlin Class containerships under construction at General Dynamics NASSCO, San Diego, CA, for service between the Port of Jacksonville, FL, and Puerto Rico. Pivotal LNG, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of publicly traded AGL Resources, and WesPac Midstream LLC were selected by TOTE, Inc. to provide LNG for the new dual fuel containerships. Additionally, a joint venture between Pivotal LNG, Inc. and WesPac plans to develop a new LNG plant in Jacksonville. AGL Resources is one of the largest operators of liquefaction facilities in the nation primarily through its distribution utility operations that use the LNG facilities for peak-shaving services for customers when demand is highest. In addition, Pivotal LNG owns and operates a merchant LNG facility and sells LNG wholesale to truck fleets and other high horsepower engine operators. WesPac is a private energy infrastructure company with several small LNG facilities under development in North America. Chiarello says the company has a supplier for LNG "locked in" for the Port of Tacoma for the Alaska trade, but doesn't plan to publicly announce it. "We're comfortable with the partners that we've chosen."
Positive reinforcement "We consider ourselves extremely fortunate at how positive our decision to switch to LNG has been supported by the regulatory bodies, networks and port authorities," continues Chiarello. "And NASSCO has been a phenomenal partner. They are doing the engineering for the Orcas. At the same time, they have begun the construction of the Marlins that will meet our timeline and perhaps beat our timeline. I couldn't be happier where we are in the process. Things have gone extremely, extremely well." So what's in the future for TOTE? Will they be adding more LNG newbuilds? "We had an option for an additional Marlin Class vessel," says Chiarello, "but we are sticking with the two vessels in Alaska and Puerto Rico service. While you never say never, with a half billion dollars in assets in play, that's going to keep us busy for a while." He's well aware of TOTE's presence on the world stage. "We have to stay focused so we don't miss a beat. International carriers have their eyes set on what is going on here. They know that LNG is the fuel of the future. For them it is more about supply. We are honored and humbled to be in the position we are in." Not bad for a kid from Brooklyn. ■

Beastie Boys Confirm 'Hot Sauce Committee' Release
The Beastie Boys have gone through some trials and tribulations in pushing out their long-awaited eighth studio album, with the cancer diagnosis of MCA, born Adam Yauch, putting an understandable delay on the project. But the trio assure fans that 'Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2′ is on track for its spring release, unlike 'Pt. 1.'
"It's still delayed — the first one," Mike D tells Radio 1. "The second one is coming out as originally scheduled."
The New York-based rap outfit are even considering touring in support of the new effort, being "open" to the suggestion depending on Yauch's bill of health. The ill Beastie has apparently been given the "all-clear," 18 months after doctors found a cancerous tumor in his parotid gland during July 2009. "We're really happy about it," Mike D said of his group member's positive road to recovery.
To hold fans over until 'Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2′ debuts, the Beastie Boys will serve up a new video, premiering at the Sundance Film Festival later this month, Jan. 20-30, 2011 in Park City, Utah. The visual short, written and directed by Yauch, is a follow-up to the group's 1987 hit, '(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!),' which will show what happened to the Boys after the famed clip.
"We've got a video we got to finish, a big video," Mike D reveals. "I know people don't make big videos any more but we made a big video. It's not even a video, it's a film-eo. A cinematic, short film."
