Report to Community Board 6
October 10, 2007
Public Hearing on Former Con Edison Waterside Site: On September 20th, Assemblymember Kavanagh attended Community Board 6's hearing to ask questions and voice concerns over the proposal by the East River Realty Company for the former Con Edison Waterside site. Assemblymember Kavanagh looks forward to working with the Community Board, colleagues in government, and community residents to ensure that the development is not overwhelmingly tall or dense, that open space is adequate and accessible, that a significant amount of affordable housing is included, that adequate provision is made for schools and other community facilities, and that the plan does not otherwise unduly impact the quality of life of this community. Kavanagh Participates in Resident for a Day: Assemblymember Kavanagh and Senator Tom Duane participated in the Resident for a Day program at New York University Medical Center on September 27th. The program enables legislators to come away with a better understanding of Graduate Medical Education (GME). This issue will be increasingly significant as the New York State Council on Graduate Medical Education and Health Commissioner Richard Daines make recommendations for the next State Budget for FY 2008-2009 by mid-November. The legislature will then have the opportunity to review the proposals during the next regular legislative session in January. Kavanagh Attends ConEd Soil Contamination Briefing: Assemblymember Kavanagh joined other elected officials and community members at a briefing to discuss the recent study released to the public by Con Edison, the City Department of Health and the State Department of Environmental Conservation. While no contamination was found in the buildings or in the surface soil around Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village, Assemblymember Kavanagh continues to closely monitor the additional testing that will take place around the East River and Stuyvesant Cove Park.

In university, I took a class on Islamic history and theology. Naturally, the course touched upon the Crusades, but we did not solemnly meditate upon that period of history much longer than it took to go over in class. Sometimes people try apologizing for the Crusades as a diplomatic maneuver when they talk about Jesus, but I have two primary reactions to the idea of making such an apology: 1. I'm not sorry—I didn't do it! 2. Apologizing for the Crusades is just a rote response—are we just trying to get out of feeling bad? C. Michael Patton over at the blog Parchment and Pen wrote a series of posts in January and February debunking misconceptions about the Crusades and arguing for why they were necessary. I largely agree with what he wrote, but I also want to fill in some things that I believe he left out.
The series is entitled "Four Misconceptions about the Crusades," but I could not find number four. (Yes, really.) I will quickly deal with the posts in order:
- Misconception number one: "The Crusades were not provoked." In sum, Muslims had been conquering Christian territory for hundreds of years. The Crusades were one response.
- Misconception number two: "The Crusaders were greedy opportunists." In sum, the Crusaders gave up personal fortunes in order to go on the Crusades. Sacking and burning was standard operating procedure for wars of the time, and it helped them recover some of the costs of going.
- Misconception number three: "The Fourth Crusade was a Christian-on-Christian fratricidal tragedy." In sum, the Crusaders were responding to Byzantine treachery when they sacked Constantinople. It was bad, but so is war.
Then he wrote the last post, "Why I Think the Christian Crusades Were Necessary," describing the Crusades as an appropriate response to Muslim invasions of Christian-held lands. The maps in this post illustrate the spread of Islam compared to the territory controlled by Byzantine and European Christian rulers. In a "kill the chicken to terrify the monkey" moment, Christendom struck back. Europe responded to the Muslim threat and demonstrated that they were not interested in submitting to Muslim rule. According to Patton, even if the Crusades began on a pretext, Europeans had to flex a little muscle to make Islamic rulers think twice about continuing invasions into Europe.
I learned principally two things from Patton's blog series: 1. there is nothing for us to apologize for on an individual basis in reference to the Crusades, 2. the Crusades were not magnitudes worse than any other war in the whole of human history—not even second or third place to the worst one. In his post on the necessity for the Crusades, Patton links the Crusades with the recent American war in Iraq, basically calling that a demonstration of American power against America's enemies. Demonstrating American power is a political question (with possible religious connotations), and the connection between politics and religion embodied in the Crusades is definitely one point open to criticism. Nevertheless, even on a purely political dimension, if Europe did not want Islamic rulers, Europeans had to fight.
Pacifists, anti-imperialists, atheist critics of Christianity, and Muslim apologists can all find something to criticize in the Crusades. The Crusades are one set of wars continually remembered without reference to other wars happening at the same time. In that era, Christendom and Islam were roughly equal in terms of military power. It was not a simple case of imperialist Europe practicing on its future colonial subjects. Muslims remember their glory days with pride, days in which their literature, philosophy, science, medicine, and civilization were more advanced than that of Europe. Their recollection is correct. If you must go on with the nonsense about Muslims only lifting civilization from Greece and Rome and contributing nothing of their own, please do it in the other room. The Crusades (1095-1291) probably caught Islam in a period of weakness, but the 1453 Fall of Constantinople and the 1529 Siege of Vienna were yet to come. As for America, as the strongest Western power, it has its own problems in handling the issue of the Crusades.
America presently has to answer for the Crusades because America is the strongest Western power, with the strength to start wars wherever it wants. Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the interpretation of Israel as a proxy state? Crusades. American military bases in the Middle East as a legacy of the Cold War and the Persian Gulf War? Dens of Crusaders. CIA support for the Shah of Iran? Neo-imperialism. "Crusader" is an easy and halfway appropriate epithet to apply to Americans in the Middle East. There is certainly a grain of truth floating the stereotype that Canadians are more popular abroad than Americans. Nations and nation-states have longer lives than any individual, so naturally their collective memories will reach back hundreds of years. Dealing with individuals in the present is a different matter entirely.
Each new generation uncorks a full bottle of ink, and they learn to write by copying what their parents write at the height of their talent. Parents write with greater skill and sense of context with their own grievances than do their children. Unless their children mature, they only pick up the grievance and go on to write about it with youthful zeal and a full bottle of ink. People generally have an awful sense of history, Christians and Muslims alike. It is harder for children to write well about their parents' struggles than to write well about their own. Although we have the benefit of hindsight when discussing the Crusades, ink spent passionately denouncing them is ink wasted for solving contemporary evils. Also, if the Crusades are a real sticking point in your relationship with Muslim friends, how likely is it that you are the problem in your relationship with your Muslim friends and not the Crusades?
If you are not a jerk in the present, there is no real reason for the past to make people hate you now. There is no judge other than God who can hand down a just sentence for what happened in the Crusades. We cannot do enough to satisfy anyone who takes it upon themselves to get justice for the Crusades. The only way short of divine intervention to erase a historical grudge is to become a member of the historically offended party. There are Christian organizations dropping "crusade" from their names so that the name does not distract people from the gospel message, so it is right on the one hand to watch out for historically sensitive issues and right on the other hand to not accidentally look like you want to reenact the Crusades. When the Crusades come up in conversation with real live Muslim friends, let's learn to do something other than dish out apologies.
When I did drama in high school, I had to learn to fence for a scene from Romeo and Juliet. I learned quickly to use my wrist and not my whole arm: the whole arm is stronger, but I got tired very quickly from heaving the sword about. Apologies can be powerful. Apologies can be clumsy. What do you want from making an apology—to not feel bad about the Crusades? To substitute words for deeds in making friends with Muslim neighbors? Ask questions to find out what people learned about the Crusades when they were growing up. Make no concessions to detractors, but learn how other people view history. The Crusades might just be a muckraking feint preceding the "Christianity is bunk!" lunge for your vital organs. If the Crusades never happened, what else would we be apologizing for? Perhaps silence would be better than answering every attempt to fix us with responsibility for the Crusades. From time to time, it is helpful for institutions to issue statements explaining their past. They can refer back to official explanations and apologies when people ask questions in the future, but it is a waste of time to give a fresh answer to everyone who asks. Fence honestly, but use your wrist.

Rain clouds are clearing out of Southern California today, making way for a sunny week to come in Los Angeles County and the Inland Empire, according to the National Weather Service.
Partly cloudy morning conditions were expected to give way to sunny skies by this afternoon, with high temperatures predicted by the NWS to reach the upper-50s and mid-60s. Only a slight chance of rain remains in the Inland Empire today, while the San Gabriel and San Fernando Valleys were not expected to see further rainfall.
The passing storm dropped between half an inch and an inch of rain on the area, NWS Meteorologist David Sweet said.
By Sunday, "We'll be expecting a warming trend as an area of high pressure builds along the west coast, with high temperatures in (Los Angeles County) going as high as the upper-60s to mid-70s," Sweet said.
The start of the warming trend will be accompanied by wind Sweet described as "weak Santa Ana conditions." The winds will be strongest early Sunday, particularly in the San Fernando Valley, where northeast winds of 15 to 25 mph are predicted, with local gusts of 35 mph.
High temperatures near 80 degrees are expected throughout Los Angeles County and the Inland Empire Monday and Tuesday, rising into the mid-80s by Wednesday, according to the NWS.
Thursday and Friday were shaping up to be bit cooler with partly cloudy conditions, Sweet said, but umbrellas won't be necessary, as forecasters expected "continued dry conditions through the end of the week."

Body Of Infant Pulled From Mohawk River
Utica Police have confirmed that the body of an infant has been pulled from the waters of the Mohawk River and they can say with some certainty that it's the body of nine month old Levon Wameling.
The body of a child was found sealed in some sort of metal container and the remains will now be sent to the Onondaga County Medical Examiners Office for forensic work.
Utica Police say it may take some time before a positive ID is made because the remains have been degraded in the water.
The police say they developed leads with the State Police which led them to the banks of the Mohawk River Friday morning.
New developments today in the case of a missing Utica toddler who disappeared from his home back in May.
The boy's father has now been arrested in burglary charges and dive teams are now searching the Mohawk River for signs of the child.
27 year old Jevon Wameling has now been charged with burglary. He's accused of breaking into a home in Oriskany and stealing money and jewelry from that residence. He's being held on 10 thousand dollars bail.
Late Friday morning, dive teams began searching the Mohawk River looking for nine month old Levon Wameling, who's been missing since May.
His father told police at the time that the boy was snatched off their front porch after he went around to a back door of the home to open up a locked front door. Wameling though never reported the disappearance to police until confronted by relatives two weeks later and the police were called.
Several searches for the boy in recent weeks haven't turned up anything, but it's believed that police have developed new information today that's led them to search the river.

• schadenfreude •
Pronunciation: shahd-ên-froy-dê • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, mass
Meaning: Mischief-joy, gleeful joy in the misfortune of others.
Notes: This Good Word has retained so much of its original German character, that it has no English relatives. It does carry a few spelling pitfalls. First, remember it uses the German spelling of [sh], with a [c] in the middle, schaden. Also, freude is spelled and pronounced like Freud, with the [e] before the [u]. In German, all nouns are capitalized, so this one would be, too. However, in English it is an ordinary common noun and so, like them, is capitalized only at the beginnings of sentences.
In Play: This oddball word implies such a lack of compassion, you might think that decent people like ourselves would have little use for it. However, legitimate occasions for us to feel schadenfreude do arise: "I did feel a little schadenfreude when the guy who was robbing my house fell off the ladder and broke his arm." In general, however, schadenfreude is not worth the emotional effort: "I was not pleased when Lindsey came in wearing the same dress as me, but when she dropped a meatball on hers at the dinner table, I must confess to a little schadenfreude."
Word History: Today's Good Word is still hot from being purloined from German. It is a German compound comprising schaden "to hurt" + Freude "joy". Schaden comes from Old High German skado, which also devolved into English scathe "harm, hurt" via Old Norse skaða. Freude comes from Old High German frewida, akin to the same froh "joy, happiness" found in contemporary German fröhlich "happy". Other Indo-European languages also have words with this unsavory emotional reaction. In Greek it is epichairekakia, the Dutch equivalent is leedvermaak, and in Swedish it is skadeglädje. So, why did English have to 'borrow' one? Are English-speakers so morally pure as to only recently discover this off-key pleasure?

Britney Spears is counting down to her new single
Listen to Britney Spears on iHeartRadio
While Katy Perry and Lady GaGa were forced to face off against each other after releasing their new singles just a day apart from each other, Britney Spears is planning to arrive fashionably late to the pop diva party. A countdown timer (which currently stands at 28 days) has just appeared on her official website, along with the words, "All Eyes On Me," which is probably the title of her new single.
Spears hasn't actually confirmed what the timer's even for just yet, but we're guessing that it's for the single since British producer, Naughty Boy, was quoted this past weekend telling Digital Spy that it'd arrive, "in another couple of weeks."
There's no release date on Britney's eighth studio album just yet, but we do know a few things about it. Firstly, will.i.am has executive-produced the whole thing, which could go either way. We also know that Britney's recorded with Sia and William Orbit, and that the album will apparently be more urban and personal than 2011′s EDM-driven Femme Fatale. The latter is hardly surprising since it's the exact direction that commercial music is headed in right now, and Britney's always been good at keeping up with the mainstream music trends.
Are you looking forward to the The Holy Spearit's return?

Child custody mediation gives parents a chance to resolve disagreements about a parenting plan for their children. In mediation, the parents have the help of an expert (a mediator) in resolving these disagreements. If the parents are able to work out an agreement, the mediator helps the parents write a parenting plan that may then become a custody and visitation order if it is signed by a judge. In some counties, this service is called "child custody recommending counseling" because the mediator (called a "child custody recommending counselor") can give a written recommendation to the parents and the court if the parents cannot agree to a parenting plan.
The goals of mediation are to:
The following video describes the mediation and child custody recommending counseling court process, provides helpful information about parenting plans, and offers tips on how parents can reduce conflict and help their children adjust to the changes happening in their family.
You can read more information about child custody by reading:
Family Court Services is usually part of your local superior court. Family Court Services has mediators who help resolve disagreements between parents who are separating about the care of their children. Most superior courts have a Family Court Services program or other mediation program to help parents with parenting issues. Click to find the Family Court Services program in your court.
You do not have to pay for the mediators from Family Court Services.
If you and the other parent cannot agree on a parenting plan for your children, you must go to mediation to try to resolve your dispute. If you cannot agree in mediation, the judge will make an order at a hearing. Click for more infomation on:
What happens in mediation?
Mediation can be a way to make decisions about your children without going to court. You and the other parent can make your own agreement for how you will take care of your children. The legal word for this agreement is "stipulation." It is also called a "parenting plan" or a "parenting agreement" or a "time-share plan."
If you want more time with a mediator, you can contact a mediator in the community who can spend more time. Working with a private mediator will cost you money but it can be a valuable way to resolve your differences and work out a parenting plan that will support your children and work well for your family's situation.
If 1 or both parents have lawyers, the lawyer may be involved in the mediation. If you have a lawyer, talk to him or her about whether you want him or her involved in the mediation and, if so, talk to the mediator about this. Some courts may not allow your lawyer in mediation, so ask your mediator about the rules in your court.
It could be very helpful to you to get legal advice before or after the mediation. It will help you understand your legal rights and responsibilities and develop options for reaching an agreement. So even if you are representing yourself in the court case, consider talking with a lawyer about the issues and the possible agreements you are reaching in mediation.
IMPORTANT! This information may not apply or be appropriate in cases of domestic violence or abuse. Read our section on Custody and Domestic Violence if domestic violence is an issue in your case.
Who are mediators?
A mediator:
California has special rules for conducting mediation. You can learn about them by reading rule 5.210 and rule 5.215 of the California Rules of Court.
Although many mediators are experienced in counseling, mediation is not counseling. A mediator meets with both parents and helps them try to agree on a plan that is best for their children. The mediator's job is to:
If you reach an agreement in mediation
If you reach an agreement on your parenting plan, the mediator will usually prepare a written agreement for both parents to sign. If neither parent has a lawyer, the mediator or the parents will give the agreement to the judge to approve and sign. When the judge signs it, it becomes an official court order.
If you have a lawyer, talk to your lawyer about what you should do if you reach an agreement in mediation. Your lawyer may review the written agreement before you and your lawyer sign it and will then take care of getting the judge to sign it and file it with the court.
If you cannot reach an agreement in mediation
What happens after mediation depends on the court:
Ask your mediator how the process works in your local court. The family law facilitator may also be able to answer your questions.
Even when you cannot reach an agreement on every issue in mediation, the process can help you narrow down the issues that you disagree about and settle the case later.
If you have to go to mediation (referred to in some courts that provide recommendations as "child custody recommending counseling") with a person who controls or attempts to control you through force, intimidation, or the threat of violence, or if you have a restraining order, you have the right to ask to meet with the mediator (or child custody recommending counselor) separately from the other parent. You may also bring a support person to mediation and orientation. The mediators are trained in the dynamics of domestic violence to protect your safety and the safety of any household member. Learn more about child custody mediation when your children's other parent has been abusive.
If you have experienced domestic violence:
If a mediator suspects child abuse, he or she may need to report it. (But it is a crime for a parent to file a false report of child abuse against the other parent.) Ask your mediator for a list of places that can help you and your children.
In some cases, the judge decides that it is in the best interest of the children to have a child custody evaluation. A custody evaluation is an investigation into the facts of the case. Usually, the investigation includes interviews with the parents, children, and other people who may have information about the situation, like teachers, doctors, other relatives, or counselors. It can also include other important reports that relate to the family, like court records, police reports, and reports from providers of anger management or parenting classes. The evaluator may also visit your home or the children's school sites.
If the child custody case is ordered to evaluation
If the parents did not come to an agreement about all of their custody and visitation issues during mediation, the judge may order a custody evaluation. A custody evaluation generally takes up to 60 days. And, usually, the parents must pay a fee for this service.
The evaluator is a specially trained psychologist or other mental health professional. It could be someone from Family Court Services at your court (but not your mediator). Other times, the judge may appoint a private professional to do it.
In general, the evaluator:
When the investigation is complete, the evaluator will write up a report describing what he or she found about each parent, the children, and the family situation — what is good and what is not so good. Based on this information and the evaluator's knowledge of child development and human psychology, he or she will make a recommendation to the court for a parenting plan. The parents will be able to read a copy of this report.
This report will be sent to the judge and the parents or their lawyers, and there will be another court hearing.
Read Child Custody Evaluation Information Sheet (Form FL-329-INFO) for more information on child custody evaluations.
First, if you have a complaint against a mediator or evaluator with Family Court Services, talk to the director of Family Court Services to find out how to make a complaint. Follow the procedures for filing a complaint in your court. If you are not happy with the result after you file the complaint, you can explain your complaint to the judge at the time of your hearing. Click to find the Family Court Services program in your court.
If your complaint is about ethical conduct or licensing issues, there are state licensing boards that address complaints about licensed professionals:

Congress is getting ready with conference committees to meet their deadline of December 13 for a budget "reconciliation" under the Continuing Appropriations Act of 2014. Below are eight (8) links to YouTube videos created by the staff at the Institute for Humane Studies (IHS), which is part of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.
One of the projects that IHS has is a program called "Learn Liberty" that engages scholars, faculty and students on various issues – notably economics. Their program has done some novel things with short form videos (approx 5 minutes in length) and animation to help viewers better understand these complex and difficult to communicate issues concerning what the conferees must consider.
These short videos are very well done, get right at the heart of the challenges in simple, easy to understand charts and explanations. These videos should inform and educate you about government spending, national debt, taxes and tax rates and entitlements.

Godaddy Reverses Multiple Groupon Code Redemptions
Lots of buzz surrounded the end of the year Godaddy Groupon code deal. For $25 the deal would get you $70 in credit on godaddy. The credit applied to anything they sold, including premium domain listings as some reported. Some domainers/couponers went all-in buying groupons from the 70 or so cities that had the coupons available. Godaddy has plugged that leak and reversed all those extra credits. As my grandfather taught me, "if it's too good to be true, then it probably is".
I have to admit I jumped in to this and bought a few extra. I have thousands of names and using these on renewals was too good of a deal to pass up. I just checked my account after seeing Domain Shane's post and all charges have been reversed. As Shane put it "Godaddy Blows It Again". Oh well it was a nice idea for someone else to do right next time. I bet Namecheap.com has some ideas up their sleeves already.
There's been no news on what happened to the money I spent on those codes. I suspect I'll see all the extra charges go back on to my credit card.
Anyone who bought extra credits and applied them to big purchases, please let us know what happened to those purchases.

A tireless Inland Empire volunteer has received national recognition for the second time on the DeGeneres show, winning a volunteer of the year award and $10,000.
Reneisha Wilkes, 25, of San Bernardino was on the show in 2010 when DeGeneres awarded Wilkes a new car for her volunteer work providing funding and transportation resources to low-income residents, seniors and veterans.
Wilkes, who works as a student resources coordinator for the San Joaquin Valley College campus in Rancho Cucamonga, has provided hours of free community service to people in need since she was in high school.
"You have done more community service than anyone under the age of 25 in Southern California," DeGeneres said during Wilkes' 2010 appearance.
"I would like you to be my first official Ellen volunteer of the month and I'm giving you this plaque ... also a brand new car."
Wilkes' appearance this week was part of a celebration of the show's 10-year anniversary. The week saw DeGeneres inviting other guests such as first lady Michelle Obama, Justine Bieber, and Kelly Clarkson, in addition to showing memorable clips from the past decade.
Wilkes earned another $10,000, along with a large framed certificate as DeGeneres' volunteer of the year.
DeGeneres asked Wilkes how the car was doing.
"It's doing great, thank you so much, Ellen, you changed my life," Wilkes said.
"I was taking public transportation. I was getting up three or four hours early just to get to the bus stop, and sometimes in rain. I told you I just appreciate everything you have done for me."
Wilkes has a program where she and other volunteers give rides to veterans and senior citizens for trips to the grocery store.
"Veterans need rides," Wilkes said.
"They've been injured overseas. They served our country. I don't feel they should have to walk to get to the doctor's and grocery store. I believe there should be a ride for serving our country. That's the least we can do. We do the same for seniors."
She also said she used her initial $10,000 to help pay for school tuition, gave $1,000 to her church, and $1,000 toward giving Christmas presents to her friends' children.
This time around, Wilkes said she'll use the money to help pay off bills. Wilkes is also engaged to be married in March.
People can reach Wilkes through her website, someonehelpedmehelps.wordpress.com.

At her 40th reunion, Professor Mary Gordon '71 leads a literary salon about writing, teaching, and a new novel
Reunion 2011 brought more than 1,300 alumnae and guests to campus for a weekend-long celebration of all things Barnard – in the classroom, on stage and around the world. For photos and video, visit the Alumnae Network
Members of the Class of 2011 reflect on their time at Barnard as they celebrate their graduation with family, faculty members and Commencement speaker Sheryl Sandberg, Chief Operating Officer of Facebook.
Alumnae and friends of Barnard College gathered at the historic Plaza Hotel for the annual Scholarship Dinner and Auction to honor Ellen Futter '71 and Barbara Novak '50. Actress Greta Gerwig '06 served as MC; the event raised a record $2.1 Million for Financial Aid.
Six current Barnard students were selected to travel to the Barnard's Third Annual Global Symposium "Women Changing Africa" during their spring break.
An excerpt from the book Reading Women by Stephanie Staal '93.
On April 5, students, faculty, and members of the community gathered to hear from a panel of experts on hydraulic fracturing, or "hydrofracking," a controversial process of fracturing rocks to stimulate the release of natural gas.
In February 2011, the inaugural Athena Film Festival presented over 25 films highlighting the multiplicity of women's roles in the film industry—as actors, writers, directors, and producers.
First held in 1903 and continuing through 1967, the Greek Games were started to recreate the athletic competitions of heroic Greece. In April 2011, Barnard students revived the Greek Games.

Why did protesting students burn issues of The Hoya in March 1969?
In the 1950s and 1960s, The Hoya reported primarily on campus news and events- a focus motivated both by tradition and by the belief that its staff was too small to provide coverage of off-campus events. The Hoya contains no mention of the election or inauguration of John F. Kennedy (who had once lived only three blocks from campus), the Tet Offensive, or the Woodstock Festival, for example. The paper did report on the Vietnam War and associated issues but only in so far as they impacted Georgetown students. This editorial stance led to debate, both internal and external to the paper. A faction of students demanded more coverage of anti-war protests, accusing Hoya editors of being too conservative and not adequately reflecting student opinion. One result of this debate was the founding of a second student newspaper, The Georgetown Voice, which first appeared on March 4,1969, promising to "present and analyze national and local issues of concern to the student, whose concern should spread beyond the campus." Student protestors burned hundreds of Hoya issues on March 6, 1969, while singing This Will Be The Last Time. Despite this prophecy, however, The Hoya continued publication.

Meanwhile,Kelsey Hay had the seventh-best toss at Penn with a mark of 42.16 meters (138-04 ft.).
Another big finish was for Graf, who finished just two centimeters shy of the school's top 10 with a second-place toss of 12.64 meters (41-05.75 ft.).However, Graf had no trouble jumping into the heart of Penn's all-time top 10 in the hammer. Her opening toss of 49.33 meters (161-10 ft.) ranks third-best at Penn.
Sophomore Kaci Jones was close to reaching the school's all-time Top 10 as well. She was just three centimeters shy with her winning shot put of 40.69 meters 9133-06 ft.).
On the track, Penn continued to make an impact in the record book. Then-juniorChelsea Delaney recorded the 10th-best time in school history in the 1,500 meters. She was the runner-up in the event with a finish of 4:33.03.
Also at the time,Heather Bong matched the 10th-best time in school history in the 200 meters. She won the event as the only competitor to break 25 seconds and became the 11th Quaker to ever do so with a first-place mark of 24.99.
Sophomore Gabrielle Cuccia was tops in the 800 meters. She won with a time of 2:12.99, which was a few strides better than her teammate and runner-upAriana Tabatabaie's (2:16.46). Sophomore Rachel Hlatky and senior Gabrielle Piper were also winners for Penn. Hlatky won the 400 metes at 58.70 and Piper was tops in the 100-meter hurdles at 15.17

ODE TO DOC: Great musicians are dying faster than we can type these days. We're about three weeks behind in appreciations.
Luckily for us, Long Beach bluesman Bernie Pearl, who has known a lot of great musicians from being on the road and from hanging out at his brother Ed's folk club the Ash Grove back in the 1960s and early 1970s, sent us a tribute to folk and bluegrass guitarist Doc Watson, who died May 29 at the age of 89.
In 1962, Pearl had the opportunity to hang out with Clarence "Tom" Ashley, an old-timer who was enjoying the folk revival of that era and who was touring with his band, which included Doc Watson.
"The band took the stage and from the first note they won me over," writes Pearl. "When it became Doc's turn to sing it was instantly apparent that he was a star. We all gasped and applauded in stunned and unanticipated appreciation."
Pearl, who was already mastering blues guitar, asked Watson for a guitar lesson. Doc was reluctant, but Pearl's offer of $20 in early '60s bucks was too good to turn down. "In those days," writes Pearl, "I was paying $45 a month for rent."
Pearl taught guitar at Cal State Los Angeles in the late 1960s and when Watson was in town on tour with his son Merle (who died in 1985), Bernie asked if Doc would consider playing for the class.
"To my amazement he agreed. Driving to school I asked why he was doing it, and he replied that these young people could remain his fans and supporters for many years to come."
Watson, who played the Banjo, Fiddle & Guitar Festival at Cal State Long Beach in the late '70s, was one of the great flat-pickers of all time.
And, writes Pearl, "his brilliant musicianship aside, Arthel `Doc' Watson was a thoughtful, informed and articulate man.
"He was always humble and always a gentleman, aware of the importance of personal and cultural integrity. He lived an admirable life. He was beloved for a good reason.
"Well done, Doc."
WE'RE A BIG, BIG MAN: If we had to pick the perfect French phrase - mot juste, s'il vous plais - to use in describing our outlook on other people, it would be noblesse oblige. And at no time have we been as nobly obliging as we're about to be with our announcement in this valuable and cherished space that Council member Gerrie Schipske, who represents the 5th District - in her sleep - will be sharing anecdotes from her book "Early Long Beach" at 12:30 p.m. June 16 at the Bach Library, 4055 Bellflower Blvd., in Long Beach.
We just died a little bit.
OK, we're OK now. It's just that being noble takes a lot out of us.
HISTORICAL HOMES: We spent a mammoth portion of Friday evening at the Historical Society of Long Beach in Bixby Knolls at the First Friday street scene, signing our own little book, "Long Beach Chronicles," in an event that was not hyped on Gerrie Schipske's blog.
We racked up a ton of endorsements at the signing, including tacit ones from Assembly members Betty Karnette and Bonnie Lowenthal and public servant/scientist Lillian Kawasaki.
But all that is a long, self-serving aside that acts as a launching pad for the announcement that the Historical Society is presenting a See, Sip & Savor bash from 6 till 9 p.m. on June 22.
Participants will get to check out three of the coolest homes in Belmont Heights (all within a few blocks of one another), and they'll also get to visit the penthouse of the Gaytonia Apartments.
Guests will also be treated to wine and other beverages along the way, plus appetizers, desserts and a good blast of history.
Tickets, at $50 a throw, are limited, so jump on them today. You can order online at www.hslb.org or call 562-424-2220.

So, I'm sure you all know about Word's ability to create numbered and lettered lists.
I'm also equally certain that you've had Word take over a list or two and do the numbering for you, once the program noticed the pattern.
So, here's my question for today: Did you know that there are a variety of formats that Word will mimic as it continues the numbering or lettering of your list items?
Yep, that's right. Word will continue lists in more formats than just the old standby:
A. xxxxxxx
B. xxxxxxx
C. xxxxxxx
Word will also continue numbering/lettering automatically in other formats, such as:
In addition to the upper and lowercase letters, you can use numbers and Roman numerals in them. Word will "take the hint" and continue to maintain your formatting choice, no matter how you've chosen to label the list items.
If you've got a formatting idea for your list numbers/letters, I suggest you give this a try. Word may just surprise you and decide to play along!

Grief is a process that does not exist within conventional timelines. Therefore, my role in therapy is to support clients wherever they are in their journey. While grief is traditionally defined as the emotions tied to the death of a loved one, loss is felt in terms of personal identity, change in family structure, possibly through divorce, or dreams that never came true. Our goal in therapy is to work towards forgiveness, acceptance, and establishing a new normal.
Jennifer Erickson, MS, NCC
Resident in Counseling
7459 Old Hickory Dr. Ste 105, Mechanicsville, Virginia 23111
Grief is an emotional reaction to loss. The more significant the loss, the more intense the grief will be. While many people associate grief with death, grief can come from divorce or the end of a relationship, loss of good health, loss of a job, miscarriage, loss of financial stability, loss of a pet, loss of a dream, loss of family home, and so many more reasons. After a loss it is important to let our feelings out, if we bury them, they later may come out as continual depression and sadness. It is important to honestly recognize the grief or sadness and work through it.
Claire Lewis, M.A.
Resident in Counseling

It's been said that grief is the price of love. It follows that the more we loved the person, role, or phase of life that we've lost, the deeper our grief. Clients working through a significant loss will benefit from an approach to grief work that focuses on making meaning out of the journey and gaining tools to weather the ebbs and flows of the grief process.
Donna Westcott, M.Ed.
Resident in Counseling
5352 Twin Hickory Road, Glen Allen, Virginia 23059
Loss of a loved one is devastating. Loss can also apply to other situations. Changes in location or employment, reduction in status or abilities, life transitions, unfulfilled dreams, personal violation, all can be significant losses which deserve to be grieved. I can help you to understand your loss in all of its implications, grieve thoroughly and appropriately, and take from your loss a treasure into a more meaningful future.

The late 90's and early 2000's spawned a musical era of cookie-cutter pop, rap songs with the same lyrics, and a general sense of distaste with the music industry. The commercialization was insultingly blatant, the lyrics were shallow and vapid, and the music was exceedingly predictable—so much so that the University of Bristol designed a software program that could accurately predict the success of any given pop song. Not that there is anything inherently wrong with performers like Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, or Kelley Clarkson, but all they did is set up a generation that was thirsty for something worth listening to.
Enter folk music. Given a platform in the 60's, praised in the 70's, and driven underground by 80's hair-rock, folk has returned in recent years with a vengeance, thanks largely in part to social media and low-cost recording techniques. In spite of a recent attempt to over-saturate the market, the genre continues to grow, as listeners devour the image of musicians playing their own instruments and writing their own lyrics—lyrics that speak to everyday problems or challenge the listeners to think. The songs have a shred of substance to them, the musicians look and act like normal people—and who doesn't love an electric banjo? If there was any doubt to the legitimacy of folk music, it was erased when Mumford & Sons' encore record, 'Babel,' won album of the year at the 2012 Grammy's. Critics may have been at odds over the album, but the common folk loved and appreciated it.
Yet for every 'Babel," there are a thousand other albums that never sell but a few hundred copies. Artists like Josh Ritter and The Tallest Man on Earth (references which should definitely increase this article's credibility with hipsters) remain relatively unknown—which somehow increases the allure of folk in general. Everybody likes having a secret that nobody else knows: Ever heard of Joe Pug? No? He's great; you should go look him up.
Amidst this great multitude, this horde of banjo's and upright basses; amidst the good, the not-so good, and the terrible—there runs a shining grain, not unlike the one that Martin Luther held when he spoke "If thou couldst understand a single grain of wheat, thou wouldst die for wonder." This grain of wheat—this common thread of folk—is the honest expression and sincerity that music in general has been so tragically deprived of in the last few decades. Contrary to what agents and producers tend to think, people can only listen to so many songs that talk about smoking pot in an Escalade or a famous singer breaking up with her umpteenth boyfriend.
The sincerity of folk is wonderful because it reflects, in some small way, what worship music was intended to be. Reading through the Psalms, one gets the feeling of spontaneous emotion expressed through the frame of rhythm and verse. The Book of Worship consists of authors who cry out to God in anguish, praise him in wild ecstasy, and supplicate him in the midst of crushing apathy. This isn't surprising, given the fact that the man who wrote a majority of them was pretty expressive himself. When the Ark was brought to Jerusalem, "David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the Ark of the Lord with shouting and the sound of the trumpet." (2 Samuel 6:14-15) This isn't a four-chord reaction to the power of God; this is a organic, impromptu celebration. It's dancing in the delight of the sovereignty of the Lord—and it looks a look like an open field folk concert.
This is not to exclude the necessity of Jesus Christ as the center of worship, but there is an aspect of common grace that is transferable onto Christian worship; any decent pagan can find delight in Creation, but only a Christian can respond to the personal Creator behind it. Good music can be enjoyed by anybody, and sincerity and spontaneity are not the pillars of praise. That said, a Christian can worship with the breath of the wind, the pulse of the ocean, and the twang of a steel-stringed guitar because they are things made to be delighted in. It could be that God sits up on his throne during a Bob Dylan show and says to the angels around him, "Watch this—I gave that man his talent, and my daughter, standing there in front of the stage, can see it. Bob Dylan is praising me, and he doesn't even know it: my child knows it though. Look at that, watch her sing his songs to me." It may be that God delights in our appreciation of his world, whether it is snow-capped mountains or The Lumineers.
C.S. Lewis said that "the most valuable thing the Psalms do for me is to express that same delight in God which made David dance." Perhaps the most valuable thing that folk can do for a Christian is to express that same rare emotion, that same raw experience of created life, in ways we have not thought of. Our modern problem is no longer that we will miss the forest for the trees, but that we will miss the forest for the nymphs. Folk helps us combat this malaise; it helps us to appreciate the sea for Poseidon. It highlights the Creation, and we in turn can highlight the Creator.
So amidst the hordes of Dylan-impersonators, the technically deficient fiddle playing, and open-tuned acoustic guitars, look for that single grain of wheat—that childlike sincerity. It may not be found in every song, or with every band—but generally, it is there. Give an ear to it, listen to it. Cultivated appropriately, this grain can grow into an acceptable harvest—it might just turn out to be proper worship.

Very nice garland
By mom of 3
from Houston, TX
Best Uses
I was considering buying a similar garland from another company when I read reviews about non-working lights and other mechanical problems. Even though the HS garland cost $10 more, I decided to go with HS. I bought a prelit wreath from HS a couple of years ago, and I've had no problems with it. This garland is really lovely with nice touches of pine cones and berries. It is somewhat cumbersome with the big battery pack but once you set the timer, then you don't have to mess with it. I'm glad I chose this product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It looked nice...
By Nenette
from Missouri City, Texas
I was going to put this on the stairs but was short so I put it on top of the buffet table which looked great and I added more ornaments and a bow. Considering that it has lights and is cordless, it is a big plus. The only thing was that it was not as flexible as I wanted it to be. Overall, it was a good purchase.

Lights were strung heavy around one end and light by the time they got to the other end so I had to remove them and re-string them myself which took at least an hour.
accurate headline.

The garland can be used in a variety of ways, such as a centerpiece on the table, a garland over a fireplace or on a mantle.

Love It!
By FBC
from Austin, TX
I use the garland on my mantle -- with the addition of a few shiny ornaments. This product is well made and easy to set up. I'm happy that I bought it, but it would be even nicer with a bit of bling.
Lights should be better spacedd
By dog
from sparta NJ
Not many lights on left end. Should be better spaced.
Beautiful Garland
By Angie
from Toronto, Canada
I bought two of the garlands. The arrived in short time and were very easy to set up (literally, add batteries and place somewhere) - the lights are a soft white and the garland and decorations are of really good quality. It looks fantastic. Very happy i decided to pay the extra for these, worth the cost.
I really like this product
By Mel the retiree
from canada
Was delivered in a timely fashion.
Beautiful and Decorative
By Fran
Used on my fireplace mantel. Was low enough on the mantel that it did not hide my other decorations

Great detailed tutorial.
I hate to write tutorials twice but there are some I have written on my site that could be useful here as well so I am just going to link them.
How to Capture a 4 way WPA handshake
Great detailed tutorial.
The website, ph33rbot.com, to upload your WPA handshake happened to be down for me. I believe http://www.wpacracker.com/ also offer the same service.
I just thought i would test that service out with my handshake. First time i used a service like this and i was just curious. Not a good result as it came back saying password not found!! i wonder what is the success rate if you dont mind me asking?
hi, im trying to crackwpa2 psk and after i type the
aireplay-ng -0 10 -a [BSSID here] -c [STATION here] mon0
it will only receive like 6 ACKs at max and won't handshake.
my signal is like 15-20 percent to this network, but Ive successfuly cracked wep networks with signal of this low strenght or lower, some of them work up to 2 mbits.
whats the problem, why wont it handshake to this network?
on youtube vid ive seen guy receiving 64 ACKs in just 5 tries, Ive tried 100 tries and it got only 6 ACKs.
how to get more acks?
Try the wiffy script it gets wpa hanshake every time Great script from g0tmi1k.
You need a good signal - wiffy shows green for good signal but will work for lower signal strength but not when in the red
I have a usb Wifi (zd1211 chip set) stick which works better than my built in atheros.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Are you sure the handshake was good that you sent to the online cracker.
I have captured what I thought was a handshake from a client that was trying at the time to associate to the AP with the wrong pass phrase.
Then it would not crack. I have not tried the online service but also wondered what the success rate is.
Yes it would be nice if wpacracker posted what their success rate is. I like that a couple other sites such as question-defense and darkircop do that.
I also uploaded a .cap file that got a no password found response from this site. I later found out that it was because the handshake that I had uploaded was not complete. I sent an email to moxie asking if I could resend a complete handshake but have yet to receive a response. On the other hand question-defense was very prompt and professional in getting back to me and basically gave me the go ahead to resend it when I recover the complete handshake.
I then started to wonder how the hell can I tell if the handshake that I have captured is complete or not before uploading it to one of these sites. Luckily in the faq on wpacracker they mention the aircrack-ng tutorial and wireshark. Wireshark is provided in backtrack or you can also download it for windows. Once you have captured the handshake you can open the .cap file in wireshark and and apply the eapol filter. This will then tell you if your capture contains 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 eapol packets which I believe are the different parts of the handshake. I have a little more researching to do on this to find out just how many eapol packets a good handshake contains. If anyone could chime in here that would be great.

[create] Documentation
The issue of anti-racism in mathematics teaching has been the topic of some research, and there are supporters of education reform who promote an anti-bias curriculum to counter a perceived bias in mathematical education.[1] These works claim that there is a sociocultural context to mathematical education and suggest that the study of mathematics in Western societies has traditionally exhibited racial or cultural bias.[2]
The problem created by this bias from teachers in education in the western societies effects students of the non dominant race. These students may not be getting the quality education that they deserve when teachers have a preconceived notion about what these students already know or do not know.[3]
While Western mathematicians often claim Western mathematics is universal, anti-racist mathematics and ethnomathematics scholars share the assumption that any given mathematical understanding or practice is a product of a particular culture.[4] Scholars such as C. K. Raju have advocated multicultural mathematics, in which different cultures can develop different forms of mathematics.
- Further information: Ethnomathematics
Anti-racist mathematics education is primarily concerned with the way in which mathematics is taught, although it also examines the contents of the curriculum in as much as this might reasonably differ from universally acceptable mathematical education.[citation needed] An anti-racist approach to mathematics education could include any or all of the following:
- Discussion of the mathematical knowledge of ancient civilizations outside of Europe, and non-European contributions to mathematical knowledge and discovery.
- The avoidance of racial stereotypes or cultural bias in classroom materials, textbooks, coursework topics and examination questions. For example, common non-European names, such as Chaim (Jewish), Jamal (Arabic), or Muhammed (Islamic), could be used in story problems, rather than common European names, like Mary or Emily.
The article "The Politics of Antiracist Mathematics" by George Gheverghese Joseph goes through many different assumptions made by teachers of mathematics that can have a negative effect on students of a minority race.[3]
Academic imperalismEdit
Indian mathematician and polymath C. K. Raju has coined the term "academic imperialism" to describe what he perceives as the Western academic system's suppression of non-Western mathematical ideas.[5] He pointed out the contradiction in Western mathematicians' claim that modern mathematics is a universal language, yet of Greek origin.[6] He argued that modern Western mathematics is built on two-valued logic, and would not work under a different logical system like the quasi-truth functional logic of Buddhism, and the logic of quantum mechanics may be quasi truth-functional.[7]
European appropriation of non-European ideasEdit
C. K. Raju has argued that the Catholic Church has systematically appropriated mathematical knowledge from Muslim, Hindu, Persian and Arab sources, then gave these ideas a theologically correct Greek origin.[8] Some elements of calculus were developed in India 250 years before Newton and Leibniz made their independent discoveries.[9] C. K. Raju argued that calculus was imported to Europe from India by Jesuit missionaries in order to calculate trigonometric values which were in great demand for the Mercator chart which was indispensable for European navigation.[10]
Former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher made reference to anti-racist mathematics in expressing opposition to "multicultural" and "anti-racist" educational approaches.[11] In her address to the Conservative Party Conference in October 1987, she said inner city children's opportunities for decent education were being "snatched away from them by hard-left education authorities" and that "children who need to be able to count and multiply are learning anti-racist mathematics, whatever that is."[12] In 2005, Liza Porteus of Fox News reported that an "anti-racist education" program in the Newton Public Schools district of the wealthy Newton, Massachusetts community angered some parents, who perceived the program to focus more on political correctness than mathematics itself.[13]

Writing about his 1964 film "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb," Stanley Kubrick wrote, "In the context of impending world destruction ... even reasonableness can evoke a grisly laugh."
No one would have accused the acclaimed filmmaker of being a jokester, but he did have a sense of the absurd, something that squeezed through in movies as diverse as "Lolita" (1962), "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968), "A Clockwork Orange" (1971), "The Shining" (1980), "Full Metal Jacket" (1987) and "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999).
Kubrick, who died in 1999 at age 70, created his art on a big canvas. His moving pictures were on a grand scale, filled with fascinating abstract parts.
So a major exhibition devoted to the legendary filmmaker at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art seems like a natural fit - if a bit ironic, in that during the making of "Spartacus" (1960) he clashed repeatedly with Hollywood executives, sending him scurrying to England, where he set up shop for the rest of his life.
Among the more than 1,000 objects on display in the "Stanley Kubrick" exhibition are drawings and pictures from "Spartacus," including a shot of the Roman senate floor, which resembled a chessboard. The strategic game was an important part of his life, and his personal chessboard is on display.
His affinity for chess is not surprising, considering Kubrick spent a long time contemplating every move and every detail of his films.
"Eyes Wide Shut" screenwriter Frederic Raphael, in his book "Eyes Wide Open: A Memoir of Stanley Kubrick" (Ballantine, 1999), describes his collaboration with the filmmaker as a series of chess matches, with Kubrick always having the white pieces.
That type of control over his films is evident in the exhibition.
Kubrick began as a photojournalist at age 16, and the early black-and-white images on display - many taken for Look magazine - of boxers, showgirls, celebrities such as Frank Sinatra and Montgomery Clift and street kids, give clues to his filmmaking style: dramatic, dynamic, bordering on over the top.
The filmmaker only made 13 features during his career. Late in his life, he pretty much disavowed "Fear and Desire" (1953), "Killer's Kiss" (1955) and, of course, "Spartacus." However, they are represented in the exhibition, as are two documentary shorts - "The Seafarers" and "Day of Flight" - and the features "The Killing" and the anti-war film "Paths of Glory."
LACMA is co-presenting the show in conjunction with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which is providing some of the financing. It is the first formal collaboration between the two institutions since they announced a new academy museum will be constructed as part of the LACMA campus. It is set to open in 2016.
"Stanley Kubrick represents the perfect opportunity to collaborate with LACMA on the presentation of film in a museum setting," Academy CEO Dawn Hudson said in a statement about the exhibition. "It is a taste of things to come when we open the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures."
One fascinating part of the exhibition is devoted to a film Kubrick never made, a biopic of Napoleon that was a pet project for the filmmaker but one he was forced to abandon in the '70s because of budget and production problems.
Interestingly, there are more than a few pictures of Kubrick looking like a general on the set of his pictures.
The exhibition is a window into the life of an extraordinary artist, an immensely private individual about whom the adjectives brilliant, genius and legendary often are bandied about.
One of the exhibit's objects is the typewriter used by Jack Nicholson's would-be novelist character in "The Shining." In a documentary made on the film by Kubrick's daughter, Vivian, the filmmaker is shown banging away on a bright yellow typewriter as the film was being made. Nicholson has said he never bothered to memorize his lines until after he got them each morning, implying that Kubrick never stopped tinkering.
Obsession or perfection? Undoubtedly, both. Kubrick presented moviegoers with some of the most indelible images in film history, and the exhibition stresses the connection to other art forms. Many of the gorgeous scenes in "Barry Lyndon" (1975), which was partly shot in candlelight, are based on 18th-century paintings by Thomas Gainsborough, William Hogarth and others. Then there are those eerie twins of "The Shining," and nearby hangs a print of Diane Arbus' famous photograph that inspired them.
Some, though, see Kubrick as too cerebral, cold. The violence of "A Clockwork Orange" was condemned, and the film was linked to real-life acts of violence. "No one is corrupted by watching `A Clockwork Orange' any more than they are by watching `Richard III,"' Kubrick defended himself in an interview that is part of the exhibition.
"He'd like to remove the human element from his movies as much as he could," "Clockwork Orange" star Malcolm McDowell said in an interview a few years ago. "The hero of `Clockwork Orange' is such an immoral character - a murderer, a rapist - but we end up liking him somehow."
The exhibition is filled with behind-the-scenes stills of Kubrick and his collaborators - including "Strangelove's" Peter Sellers and famed crime photographer Weegee (Arthur Fellig), who chronicled the making of the film. There are scads of scribbled notes and research papers, as well as artifacts from the films, including models of sets and the masks from "Eyes Wide Shut."
There are also works of art that may have inspired the movies, including a Cold War- themed screen print by Robert Rauschenberg, "Stoned Moon Series: Sky Garden," which is in the "Strangelove" display.
Nicholson talked about how actors strive for years trying to get something real in their acting, and then there is "someone like Stanley who says, `Yeah, it's real but it's not interesting."'
No one would call Kubrick not interesting. What he gave us was ultra-real visions that reshaped perceptions.
"Audiences have changed so much," noted McDowell, a fan of Kubrick. "When `Clockwork Orange' opened, people ran out of the theater and threw up in the lobby."
They have changed because of Kubrick's movies - his influence on film can't be measured. We may never get the whole picture of this complicated artist, but this exhibit, which runs through June 30, is a major contribution in putting his legacy in perspective.

Sux being in a cubicle right now...
Printable View
I was out today... paddled in after my boot got flushed and just took the gloves and boots off.. Felt good.. but sooo weird! haha I think im ready for 3/2
went down to Uncw for my brothers grad and been trunking it here for the last few days , Vabeach still a 3/2 though
Yeah, I thought he was talking about OC MD, which is why i commented on the 58 degrees. 64 is still cold to me, but not quite as nuts as trunking the 58 degree stuff... Down south of Buxton, im sure guys have been trunking it for a while. My family in HHI has been in trunks for a month. But the midatlantic is different. Last summer i was there the first week in June was pretty fu**ing cold in my 3/2 with no boots etc... It said it was like 64-65, but man, it felt a lot colder.
I prefer comfort though. I see no reason to trunk it until its really warm. If its not 72+, im in some form of wet suit. And even then, lets be honest, 72 is not that warm. Late July etc, then im trunking it comfortably back home... I have plenty of friend who pull the tough guy sh** and shed their suits as soon as its mid 60s, tell me "Man, I would be burning up in that wetsuit"... sure you would... Stay out for 2 hours with me and we will see if you are still alive.
I usally trunk it after memorial day weekend I always have . I remember one year it was 95- 100 degrees for like the 2 last weeks in april I was in trunks then til october
It felt (close to) being warm enough to trunk it in OCMD on Friday and again today in Delaware (since it was hot out) but wasnt too sure...wore a beat up 3/2 and was toasty. Then this morning someone was surfing for at least two hours getting a bunch of waves in just boardies and rashguard. If it really hits 85-90 air temps and the wind stays offshore probably give it a go bareback after work.
Wore a 2mil spring suit at va beach on sunday and was comfortable. I believe I stayed warm due to all of the massive amounts of paddling I had to do chasing after the ever elusive knee high to gi joe waves we had.

Great news! Engineer Your Life's messages have been proven effective.
EYL presents engineering as a creative, lucrative, team-oriented profession that allows people to make a difference. An independent study conducted by Veridian Insight LLC and American Institutes for Research shows that EYL's messages are breaking down stereotypes about engineering and increasing high school girls' interest in the field. For example, girls familiar with EYL listed engineering as their number one career choice, have a broader definition of what engineering is, and leave the site armed with the steps involved in pursuing an engineering related career path.
Read the Executive Summary.
Read the full report.
Read the press release.
Developing EYL's Messages
Once the coalition identified what girls wanted, it enlisted the market research firms BBMG and Global Strategy Group to develop and test various career messages that would motivate girls to consider engineering. This effort was undertaken in collaboration with a larger, ongoing campaign sponsored by the National Academy of Engineering's Public Understanding of Engineering program, which seeks to broaden Americans' knowledge of engineering and its place in our society.
Four messages tested the strongest among high school girls:
Live your life, love what you do. Engineering will challenge you to turn dreams into realities while giving you the chance to travel, work with inspiring people and give back to your community.
Creativity has its rewards. Women engineers are respected, recognized and financially rewarded for their innovative thinking and creative solutions.
Make a world of difference. From small villages to big cities, organic farms to mountaintops, deep-sea labs to outer space, women engineers are going where there is the greatest need and making a lasting contribution.
Explore possibilities. Women engineers often use their skills to go into business, medicine, law, or government. An engineering education will prepare you for many different careers.
In light of engineering's persistent public image problem, these messages—which are aligned with the values and aspirations most important to girls—are convincing girls that engineering is exciting, meaningful, and definitely worth considering as a career. These messages are used throughout Engineer Your Life, and the coalition encourages the entire engineering community to adopt them in all your outreach activities and materials.
