Dont Flop – Ogmios Vs Youthoracle
U.K rap battle league Don't Flop have released another video that was filmed at the 2012 UK Boom Bap Festival between Ogmios vs Youthoracle. The two battlers are within the new generation of battlers which have propelled Don't Flop to new heights over the past year. All battles at the Boom Bap Festival were not judged and used as promotional battles, so there is no winner between Ogmios and Youthoracle.

Chia Seeds 101by Dana Angelo White in Healthy Tips, March 3, 2013
Back in 2009 we started reporting on this hot new food. Since then, these tiny, crunchy seeds have experienced a popularity explosion. It's time to catch you up on how far chia has come.
Chia Facts
One tablespoon of chia seeds has 55 calories, 2 grams protein and 6 grams of fiber, plus calcium, iron and potassium. They're also gluten and cholesterol free.
According to the nutrition facts panels, the fat content of different brands of chia seeds varies from 3 to 9 grams per tablespoon. The type of fat found in these tiny seeds is mostly polyunsaturated, specifically the ALA omega-3 type – brands vary from 2,000 to 6,000 milligrams per serving.
Research indicates the ALA form of omega-3 needs to be converted to DHA and EPA forms in order to benefit heart health (something omega-3s are famous for). Some recent reports have indicated that milled chia seeds allow for better ALA conversion, though it's still unclear if this makes chia better for heart health.
Chia Uses and Products
Chia seeds are mild, super crunchy and virtually undetectable when sprinkled in salads, smoothies and cereals. They're also commonly used in baking in either milled (ground) or whole seed form.
When mixed with liquid, chia seeds swell, developing a slippery, gelatinous quality, making for uniquely textured beverages and pudding-like concoctions. You can also find an increasing number of vegan recipes that call for chia as a thickening agent, replacing eggs or dairy.
A few years ago, you'd have to search far and wide to find many chia products on store shelves. Nowadays you'll find drinks, bars, cereals and snack foods chocked full of chia.
Worth the Hype?
Chia seeds are pricey: I recently reviewed various brands, each averaging about $1.00 per ounce. That's compared to other healthy seeds like flax, that average closer to $0.20 per ounce.
Due to weather conditions in popular growing regions, there have also been various unconfirmed reports of chia shortages only driving prices higher.
Bottom Line: If you like them, eat them. There's no disputing that chia seeds are nutritious but there's no need to shell out loads of dough for these seeds. You can get plenty of similar nutrients from eating foods like flax, walnuts and oats.
Tell Us: Are you a fan of chia seeds?

School Problems
School expectations can be challenging and overwhelming for students. It can be tough learning that your child is having difficulties in school, whether they're social, educational, or behavioral. It can also be very difficult to take the first steps in helping your child address the underlying issues that are causing those difficulties. But as a responsible, caring parent, it's your job to help your kids get past their troubles at school and make it a place for effective learning.
How You Can Help
1. Get to the root of the problem by finding the cause for your child's feelings. Set aside some time to have a one-on-one conversation with your child about school. Ask open ended questions to learn more about what they really like and dislike about school. The most important role parents play in this conversation is that of an active listener. Now is the time to really hear what your child has to say and not give your opinions. Once you have an idea as to which reason(s) are behind your child's feelings then it is easier to begin brainstorming solutions.
2. Meet with your child's teacher(s) and discuss your child's concerns. The best way to do this is to address the concerns in a positive manner. Together with the teacher brainstorm strategies for making the school or classroom experience more positive
3. Share your child's sparks with his or her teachers. The special ability or interest kids have is their spark. Teachers can work with approximately 25 to 200 kids every day and it can be a challenge to learn what makes every child tick. Most teachers really want their classes to be relevant to their students, so the more you share; the easier it is for the teacher to tap into those interests during class.
4. If you believe your child has a specific learning need but is not currently receiving services or supports, you can request additional help. Ask your child's teacher, a counselor, or a social worker to help you refer your child for help. While schools use different names for the process, all schools are mandated to have a process to identify children with specific learning needs. Whether the academics are too rigorous or not rigorous enough, the school is required to identify and support children with special needs. If you ask for assistance at the school and don't receive it, call the district's administrative office and request a meeting with the administrator in charge of students with special needs.
5. Sometimes, kids say they hate school because they are bullied. If your child believes he or she is being bullied, step one is to identify if the "bullying" that is happening is actually bullying, or if it can be categorized as something else, like developmentally appropriate conflict. Learn more about how to do that here. It's important to recognize that some amount of conflict is normal in our children's everyday lives, and it's our jobs, as adults, to raise resilient kids who can rise above difficult social situations.
All parents want our children to be happy, healthy, and resilient. So when we discover our kids are having school problems—whether they're academic or behavioral—we should remain calm, help our child figure out what is causing the academic struggles, and work to resolve the issue.

Europe is at a critical juncture, faced as it is with a growing gap between the demands for digital transformation on the one hand, and the skills, know-how and capability of the workforce on the other. To harness the potential of new technologies, and to keep pace with global competition, Europe urgently needs to build an eSkilled workforce. Working together, industry, education and government have the power to ensure long term action and success that will deliver jobs, competitiveness and growth.
The e-Skills Manifesto is a blueprint for making this happen. Now in its fifth edition, the Manifesto is based on a broad cross-section of perspectives and is a must-read for those that have a stake in acquiring, nurturing and retaining eSkilled talent in the 21st century. The latest Manifesto includes a special introduction by Xavier Niel, Entrepreneur and Co-Founder of 42 Schools, and contributions from a cross section of e-Skills experts. While new, it complements the Manifestos that precede it.

The University of New Orleans will begin offering in-state tuition to first-year, out-of-state students starting in the fall, provided those students meet certain academic performance standards.
UNO President Peter J. Fos, in a prepared statement, said the "Privateer First Year Scholarship" program will help the school "cast a wider net in attracting more high ability students from across the country and around the world."
First-year, out-of-state students with a 2.5 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale, and who score at least a 23 out of 36 on the ACT or 1060 out of a possible 1600 on the math and verbal portions of the SAT standardized test, are eligible for the scholarship, he said.
The national average for the ACT is between 20 and 21, according to the testing service. The national average on the SAT is 1500.
Students have to earn a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.75 at the end of the academic year, and carry a full-time course load of at least 12 credit-hours per semester to remain eligible for the scholarship, Fos said.
While the program is an enrollment booster for UNO, students who meet the eligibility requirements will see significant savings from the scholarship program.
Full-time undergraduate students from Louisiana are paying $5,164 for the entire 2012-13 academic year, while full-year tuition for out-of-state students comes to $17,176.
Enrollment at UNO has dipped significantly from around 17,000 students before Hurricane Katrina in 2005, to 10,071 students registering in the fall of 2012.
The school also lost more than 800 students between 2011 and 2012 as state-mandated stricter admissions standards took effect.
UNO joined LSU, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and Louisiana Tech University in 2012 as the first four schools prohibited from offering remedial courses to freshmen who weren't quite ready for college-level coursework.
State higher education leaders said the tougher admissions standards are necessary as Louisiana transitions to a new model where college completion trumps college access.
UNO spokesman Adam Norris said the new tuition scholarship program is about "removing any barriers" possible when attracting talented students.
Brett Kemker, UNO's vice president for student affairs and enrollment management, said the university is optimistic the program will lead to a significant jump in out-of-state students applying to the school.
"We anticipate that out-of-state students will see this as another reason to consider UNO and, after learning more about our academic programs, they will be more inclined to submit an application."

Eating By Color: Greenby Toby Amidor in Healthy Recipes, Healthy Tips, March 15, 2011
When you eat the rainbow, you get a rainbow of nutrients, so each month, we're offering up 10 ways to eat foods of a different color. With both St. Patty's Day and spring just around the corner, what better color to focus on than green? March is also National Nutrition Month and this year the focus is eating a variety of colors, so be sure to check out some yummy orange and red-colored foods, too.
What Green Foods Have To Offer
Chlorophyll, a green pigment found in the leaves of plants, gives foods their green hue. Green colored fruits and veggies contain a wide variety of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals — plant compounds that help fight disease. Make these 10 a part of your healthy diet.
This ancient symbol of fertility is packed with vitamin C, folate and potassium. According to the USDA's top 100 antioxidant-filled foods, cooked artichokes ranked seventh!
Recipe: Stuffed Artichokes
This green veggie is an excellent source folate and thiamin and a good source of fiber, iron, vitamin C and beta-carotene . It also contains the plant compound asparagine which has a diuretic effect and causes that funky odor in urine after you eat asparagus.
Recipe: Smoked Turkey-Wrapped Asparagus
This fruit is packed with heart-loving monounsaturated fat. It also contains a plethora of other healthy stuff including vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, potassium and the antioxidant lutein. Keep calories under control by limiting serving size to about one-fifth of an avocado, or about 50 calories.
Recipe: Crab and Avocado Salad
This veggie is part of the cruciferous (cabbage) family and a close relative to cauliflower, cabbage, kale, collard greens and Brussels sprouts. Veggies from this family contain plant compounds that have been shown to help fight cancer.
Recipe: Orange-Scented Broccoli and Cauliflower
Brussels Sprouts
Also part of the cruciferous vegetable family, this veggie is a great source of vitamins A and C and has a fair amount of iron.
Recipe: Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Honeydew Melon
This sweet and juicy melon is perfect in smoothies, soups and salads. It's a good source of the antioxidant vitamin C, which helps with healthy skin and hair.
Recipe: Melon Smoothies
Also part of the cabbage family, kale is one of our favorite winter veggies here at Healthy Eats. It's packed with vitamins A and C along with folic acid, iron and calcium and can be substituted for spinach in practically any recipe.
Recipe: Potato-Kale Soup
Also known as the Chinese gooseberry, this bright green gem contains more vitamin C than any other fruit. They're also high in fiber, potassium and vitamin E and various phytochemical such as lutein and anthocyanin. (links)
Recipe: Radiance Fruit Salad
More acidic and tart than lemons, these babies are packed with antioxidants including flavonol glycosides shown to help prevent hardening of the arteries and help fight cancer.
Recipe: Limeade
Good things come in small packages—especially when you're talking about green peas. A quarter-cup of cooked peas contains 130 calories, 10 grams of fiber and 8 grams of protein. They contain some iron and zinc and are a good source of heart healthy potassium and folate.
Recipe: Split Pea Burgers

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - If ever there was a time to get out the jackets, mittens and blankets, this is it.
Channel 4's chief meteorologist John Gaughan called for a 22 degree low overnight Wednesday with mid-20s reaching all the way to the beaches. Inland areas could see the upper teens.
Twenty-two degrees would match the record for the date going back 124 years.
For the second night in a row, most of WJXT's viewing area is under a hard freeze warning with the forecast calling for sub-freezing temperatures of up to 12 hours across most of Northeast Florida.
"It's very likely tonight, tomorrow morning will be the coldest night of the entire year," Gaughan said on Tuesday's 5 p.m. newscast.
Tuesday's high of 43 degrees -- which felt like mid-30s because of a brisk wind -- was the coldest high temperature recorded in Jacksonville in the past two years.
Temperatures will plummet across the state. Forecasters at the National Weather Service expected all of Florida to be freezing or near freezing Tuesday evening. Even places like Miami will struggle to hit 40 degrees.
"It's a very significant cold snap," said Logan Johnson, a forecaster at the National Weather Service.
Johnson said a strong cold front from Canada is causing the weather. The freezing temperatures inland will probably last for five or six hours, he said, which could significantly impact fruit and vegetable crops.
"It's been very warm these past few weeks and the plants aren't acclimated to the cold," said Johnson, adding that it was 80 degrees on Christmas in much of central Florida.
Farmers in the central and southern parts of the state will be on alert Tuesday, hoping to not lose their crops to the cold. In 2010, crops were heavily damaged by freezing temperatures.
Strawberry farmers in places like Plant City will be up all night to turn on sprinklers to spray water on the tender fruit. The water will freeze and provide insulation.
Meanwhile, emergency officials are opening cold weather shelters for the homeless and other needy people who don't have heat in their homes.
Johnson said it will gradually warm up Wednesday and into the weekend.
"After tomorrow night, we're going to be turning the corner," he said.

PHILADELPHIA - It was a season of milestones for the University of Pennsylvania women's basektball team and it culminated with the annual end-of-year banquet on Sunday night at Popi's Italian Restaurant in South Philadelphia. The yearly team awards were handed out as the Quakers were joined by their families, friends and the coaching staff.
As a team in 2011-12, Penn (13-15, 6-8 Ivy) finished with its highest win total since the 2004-05 season. In addition to the best 10-game start in school history, the Quakers opened 5-0 at home for the first time in eight years and set a program record with seven wins before the month of January. Penn's seven non-conference wins tied for fourth-most in school history. The Quakers also swept a road weekend for the first time in five seasons and posted back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time since 2003-04 and 2004-05. Off the court, Penn raised more than $4,000 for various charities.
Senior Jess Knapp won multiple awards on the night, claiming the Epton-Tarr Award for her efforts as the consummate team player throughout the 2011-12 campaign. She also earned the Team Leader award for the second straight year. Knapp played the final 13 games of her career on two torn ligaments in her left knee. The Carlstadt, N.J., native tore her ACL and MCL on December 30 and missed just five games before returning to the floor. She started the final nine games for Penn and led the team in rebounding six times in that span. Despite the injury, she still finished in the top 10 in the Ivy League in rebounding (8th) and blocks (7th).
Senior Jourdan Banks was honored with the prestigious Harshberger-Johnson-Brendel (HJB) Prize for Sportsmanship, Loyalty and Leadership. The HJB, created by Penn alumna and former player Cynthia Warner Johnson Crowley CW'52, honors the strong tradition of more than 80 years of women's varsity basketball at Penn. Banks served as team captain in 2011-12 and started 16 games. She finished second on the team in field goal percentage (.407) and led the team in rebounding three times, including a career-best nine rebounds in the overtime win over St. Francis (N.Y.).
Sophomore Alyssa Baron was awarded the team's Co-Impact Player of the Year honor along with freshman Kara Bonenberger. Baron won the Ivy League scoring title for the second year in a row, and was named second-team All-Ivy and first-team All-Big 5. Bonenberger won Big 5 Rookie of the Year honors after she finished second in the Ivy League in field goal percentage and led the Quakers in rebounding and blocks. She started 12 games in her rookie campaign and finished second on the team in scoring.
Freshman Renee Busch was recognized with the team's Most Dedicated award. Busch started 19 games and played in all 28 during her rookie campaign. She led Penn in three-point percentage (.366) and free throw percentage (.813) and was second on the team with 26 made threes.
Fellow freshman Katy Allen was also honored on Sunday. She earned the Miss Intagible award. Allen played in every game and started the last 18. She tied for second on the team in three-point percentage (.333), and finished third on the team in scoring, field goal percentage and made field goals.
Sophomore Meghan McCullough was named the team's Defensive Player of the Year. She played in all 28 games for the second straight year to start her career. Usually pitted against the opposition's top guard, McCullough had multiple rebounds in 18 different games and finished the year with 21 steals.
Knapp and Banks each received a commemorative jersey and gave a speech to conclude the banquet. Both of them also wrote a senior tribute that was featured in the banquet program and is shown below:
#4 Jess Knapp
Basketball is like a quality friendship. It is judgment free, and accepts me for my flaws. It challenges me to be a more versatile person. It teaches me lessons of love, perseverance, value, and commitment. It has been with me during the worst times of my life, as both a source of pain and a crutch of support. My experience wearing a red and blue jersey has completely encompassed all of these aspects, and for that it is something that will always hold a special place in my heart. I would like to thank my family for being such a solid foundation, and supporting me endlessly along this journey. Without all of their sacrifices I would not be where I am today. I'd also like to thank my teammates for making the rough times easier and the good times phenomenal. Each day their passion and vibrant personalities renew my love for this game. Thank you to my coaches for dedicating countless hours to building this program, and for always having confidence in me. Thank you to Amy for working so hard to get me back on the court (sorry for giving you a heart condition), and to Eric for making me a celebrity. Finally, I'd like to thank Jourdan for being my rock. You are truly the only person I could have made this journey with. For the returning players, I encourage you to cherish every second you have left with this program. Give your all every time out, respect the game, and leave your mark here so when you look back, you can fully appreciate all that Penn basketball has brought you, the way that I can.
#42 Jourdan Banks
To sum up my experiences on the Penn women's basketball team in a short paragraph is no easy feat. The past four years have given me some of the highest of highs and the lowest of lows I've ever experienced in my life, and I wouldn't change any of it for the world. There is nothing that can compare to the camaraderie and remarkable spirit that exists on our team. The people were unbelievable and the experiences were unforgettable. That being said, I'd first and foremost like to thank and congratulate my parents. Thank you for allowing me to come to this wonderful university and giving me the support I needed as best you could from so far away. And congratulations because now you don't have to stress about whether we won or not! To the rest of my family—specifically my brother, who although my age doesn't permit it, but my height does, I undoubtedly look up to and admire the person he has become. To the coaches—I've never met such dedicated and genuine people in my life. The way in which you have turned this program around and carried yourselves throughout this whole journey is just amazing. To my teammates—words cannot express the thanks I have for you all. Every one of you has changed my life in a way that's unforgettable. Lastly, to Jess—I wouldn't have wanted to do this with anyone but you. The road wasn't always easy but knowing that you were right by my side pushed me further than I ever thought I could go. Playing basketball here at Penn has by far been the best thing to ever happen to me, and definitely something I will never forget.

DETROIT - A general light snow will accumulate perhaps an inch or so across parts of the metro area overnight, but areas north of Port Huron will see intensification due to the Arctic air crossing Lake Huron, with snowfall rates at times potentially around 1 to 2 inches per hour.
For this reason, the National Weather Service has issued a Lake Effect Snow Warning for Sanilac and Huron Counties, and a Lake Effect Snow Watch for St. Clair County.
Snow amounts in the warning area could approach 8-inches by tomorrow morning (the heavier snow bands won't develop until midnight or after).
We'll keep an eye on St. Clair County.
Another weather system will give us a chance for an inch or two of snow on Friday, then things will quiet down for the weekend.
Warmer air will approach starting Sunday night, and some light snow will break out ahead of this warm air push.
Then, temps will reach the 30s on Monday, and low 40s on Tuesday, although we'll see some rain on Tuesday as the next cold front gets close.
Fortunately, the heart of the metro area isn't seeing any heavy snow, as a lot of people still want to get to the Auto Show at Cobo and the PBA (Professional Bowlers Association) Tour events at Thunderbowl in Allen Park through this weekend.
Stay tuned to Local 4 News and the Weather Page of ClickOnDetroit.com for your latest weather forecast.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/12/2011 (2091 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Many of the problems and predicaments we find ourselves facing in life are the result of the simple fact that, as individuals or as members of a group, we are not as free as we sometimes think we are.
This oppression may not be so much a problem -- a problem, after all, implies there is a solution -- as it is a condition of life that we all have to live with, but that does not mean there are not ways to deal with it.
In his 1966 novel The Fixer, Bernard Malamud gives us a hint of how to do that. Malamud was the best of an extraordinary group of Jewish novelists who burst onto the American and international literary scene in the 1960s.
The Fixer was one of his early novels and perhaps his finest. It tells the story of a Russian Jew accused of the ritual murder of a Christian baby in the dying years of the czarist empire. Yakov Bok spends years in jail as the authorities try to force him to confess to a crime he did not commit. There is no evidence against him except for the fact that he is a Jew, and the fact that he is a Jew is good enough for a government attempting to appease a public outraged over the murder.
He refuses to confess, even under torture, even, as years pass and his case becomes a public issue, refusing a pardon on the grounds that he is innocent. He demands a trial. The Investigating Magistrate for Cases of Extraordinary Importance, Bibikov, who is the only person who cares that Yakov might actually be innocent, at one point asks him out of frustration: "What are you?" To which Yakov Bok replies: "I am a man who, although nothing much, is still more than nothing."
That is the message Malamud offers us about freedom, about dignity, about fighting the oppressions life offers us in their greater and lesser forms. No matter how insignificant we may seem, even how irrelevant we may be in the grand scheme of things, we are still something and, when we assert that, we defy our oppressors in whatever forms they might take -- disadvantage, desolation, deprivation, disease, despair or any other D-word you can think of.
Yakov Bok's response to Bibikov's question seems extraordinary, given his plight and the conditions of his imprisonment, but it is not really -- or at least it should not be. "I am more than nothing" are words everyone should wake up thinking and live each day believing. Perhaps if we could all do that -- call me Pollyanna if it pleases you -- we would all have lives that are a little better or at least a little more dignified.
Native Canadians in places such as Attawapiskat First Nation and other isolated reserves, who live in a poverty so desperate that no one, neither their band councils nor the federal government, seems to be able to explain it, should say "we are more than nothing and we demand better than this."
Core area kids who grow up in poverty and deprivation should turn from gangs that can offer them so little and tell their parents and the system and the people -- that's us -- "we are more than nothing and we deserve better than this."
Even suburbanites, the middle-class, middle-income, middle-waisted hired help who wander off to work each day to their endless and unappreciated treadmills of tedium, should stand up and say "we are more than nothing, and we will stand with everybody else in demanding acknowledgement of that." If we all say it, shout it and believe it, then perhaps we can alleviate the injustices of life. That's only a perhaps, of course. The Fixer ends with Yakov Bok getting the trial he demanded. Malamud doesn't tell us anything about the verdict.

Revisiting the Humble Spud: Watch Star Salvation 3by Sarah De Heer in Videos, July 7, 2013
For the first time in Star history, one eliminated contestant will have a chance to re-enter the competition in a four-week Web series called Star Salvation, presented by Buitoni. Last Sunday, host Robert Irvine tasked Viet, Danushka and Lovely to make something out of "failed" foods like overcooked pork chops, mushy veggies and burnt nuts. In another double elimination, Viet and Danushka left Food Star Kitchen for the final time.
Going into the third episode of Salvation, Lovely — who's now on a winning streak — will have to face newly eliminated Chris. This week they'll revisit the humble potato (like in the premiere episode of Star), but in a slightly different form. Who will be one step closer to returning to the competition?
Click the play button above to watch the third episode and find out who will advance to next week's final episode of Star Salvation.

Wonderful scenes! Looks like a lot of fun!
Joan, I usually feel like I'm just a visitor, and this time was no exception, but I still enjoyed it. It was a nice day, and like a lot of things about Portland, very laid back and casual.
The world has changed a lot since the first time I went to a pride event, probably 30 years ago, in the midwest. Then we had to run a gauntlet of churchified zombie-like hate mongers. Long time ago, in the era of AIDS at its worst, when my friends were dying and the preachers reveled in the "retribution".
To be honest, what excited me the most today was to see a contingent from Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
There were a lot of churches represented there. I took photos of the ones that gave me the most cognitive dissonance - Mormons and Catholics. As for the rest... yes it's nice that some of them are welcoming and self congratulatory regarding how they have changed, and now they don't want to exclude (dues-paying) members of their communities, but could they once, just once, please, once, say "We're sorry for what we did to you"? Until I see sign that says that, I say to them, "to hell with you."
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Remember when Black Pride parades took place and all those who were angry at the "uppity N"? The feminist groups took the heat for a while and only recently has there been parades for GLBT. I marched in a couple of them. Too old to do that kind of stuff any more and even the thouht of leaving my comfy garden to go into a throng just doesn't sound like fun for me.
Is Act Up as active as it was a few years ago? It seems that is a stage each group has to go through. Kind of like a hazing.
Is it not interesting that once blacks came into the middle class they became acceptable in different denominations? Money speaks louder than ethics and morals.
Joan, I think act-up is long gone. Also you are right about money speaks. Sometimes.
I was especially surprised to see Mormons.
Outstanding photos, SB! Forget the the quality of the camera, or the neurosurgeon-like hands. These are some kick ass pictures. I take my hat off to you!
Great photos. Looked like a nice day for a parade. I always have mixed emotions about the marching church groups. Although I'm an atheist, I'm glad to see them there because it shows they are welcoming to our community, which is indeed important and affects all of us positively I think, atheist or theist. On the other hand, I view them as I view any other church group....just a bunch of deluded people. I do have to tell you, I have a gay friend who is an ordained minister who preached for years in a Metropolitan Community Church (gay denomination) here in Chicago. In fact years ago (I'm almost embarrassed to admit this) he performed a same-sex marriage on the Jerry Springer show. This was a long time ago when Springer was fairly new and relatively tame.....before the era of throwing chairs and knock-down brawls.
2012 Chicago Pride Parade
Old Mother Nature blessed us with a beautiful day for a parade. A record-breaking crowd of 850,000 people were there!!
Several local elementary and high schools were in attendance as well as the Chicago Teachers Union. Great to see all of them represented.
WGN TV and Bozo the Clown with Tom Skilling, weatherman, to the right.
"Pride" in rainbow balloons
Chicago Police Dept.
PFLAG. Along with the Veterans' groups, they get the biggest cheers.
Support for au naturale.
Miss Foozie, a favorite Chicago celebrity.
American Airlines supporting diversity in the workplace. (What would the world be like without gay flight attendants!)
Loud and thrillingly raucous....Dykes on Bikes! Always a favorite with the crowd.
The Lakeside Pride Marching Band. They had the honor of playing in Barack Obama's inaugural parade in 2009.
In addition to my photos, the Chicago Tribune has some very nice (and professional) photos as well.
Awesome! Thank you for posting. Looks amazing?
Is that Ihop? I think I've eaten there, about 12 years ago....
PFLAG and veterans get the biggest cheers here too. Looks like the perfect day!
Yes, that's IHOP at the intersection of Grace, Halsted and Broadway.
I forgot to add.......my favorite T-shirt at the parade said, "My Boyfriend's Wife Hates Me."
Very cute!

Fox Graphic Declares "Forced-Unionism" As The Alternative To Right-To-Work
UPDATE: Following the publication of this post, Fox News' America's Newsroom aired a similar graphic, but changed the labeling.
A Fox News graphic compared so-called "right-to-work" laws to states with "Forced-Unionism." But workers in states that have not passed right-to-work laws are not forced into unions.
On the December 10 edition of America's Newsroom, Fox News contributor John Fund claimed that right-to-work laws similar to the one recently passed in Michigan have benefitted workers and state economies, despite evidence showing [1] that these laws do not increase employment and lead to lower wages. During the segment, Fox News aired a graphic contrasting states who have passed right-to-work laws with "forced-unionism" states:
But workers in states without right-to-work laws are not forced into unions. In a 2011 post for the Center for Economic and Policy Research, economist Dean Baker pointed out [2] that workers always have a choice whether to work for a union, whether or not their state has passed right-to-work laws:
"Right to work" is a great name from the standpoint of proponents, just like the term "death tax" is effective for opponents of the estate tax, but it has nothing to do with the issue at hand. It is widely believed that in the absence of right-to-work laws workers can be forced to join a union. This is not true. Workers at any workplace always have the option as to whether or not to join a union.
Right-to-work laws prohibit contracts that require that all the workers who benefit from union representation to pay for union representation. In states without right-to-work laws unions often sign contracts that require that all the workers in a bargaining unit pay a representation fee to the union that represents the bargaining unit.
The Maine Center for Economic Policy similarly found that the laws are "not needed to protect nonunion workers" because federal laws already protect [3] workers from being forced into joining a union:
Right-to-work laws are essentially unfair. If Maine passed a right-to-work law, nonunion employees in a unionized workplace would have a "free ride." They would receive the benefits of union representation, in terms of job protections, wages and benefits, without paying for any of the costs.
A right-to-work law is not needed to protect nonunion workers. Several federal laws already protect the rights of nonunion employees in unionized workplaces, such as the NLRB vs. General Motors Supreme Court decision in 1963, and the Communication Workers vs. Beck decision of 1988. Under federal labor law, workers cannot be legally required to join a union as part of a collective bargaining contract.
UPDATE: Following the publication of this post, Fox News' America's Newsroom aired a similar graphic, but changed the labeling. In the new version of the map states that have not passed right-to-work laws were identified as "Non-Right-To-Work-State" instead of the misleading "Forced-Unionism" state.

School pupils in and around Otley won't need to fire up the computer the next time they want to check a word.
Because the Rotary Club of Otley Chevin has presented dictionaries to more than 200 Year 6 pupils as they prepare to begin their secondary education.
The books, under the Rotary's Dictionary 4 Life project, were distributed at all seven of the Otley area's primary schools and Menston Primary.
The club's community service chairman, Roy Tate, said: "We believe the dictionaries, which we have presented for the last six years, encourage young people to read and research for themselves rather than relying solely on the Internet for information."
Funds to pay for the books were raised raised through Carol singing at local restaurants, a sports dinner, and an annual golf day.

With a nickname like ôBig K,ö you would expect Kevin Taylor to be larger than your average human.
At 6-foot, 285 pounds, ôBigö is an accurate description.
As a fourth-degree black belt in karate and multiple world champion and record holder in the sport of speed brick-breaking, Taylor seems like the perfect person to tag along if one finds themselves traveling down a dark alley at night.
Check. Sort of.
Taylor is more of a teddy bear than an assassin. Laid back, extremely polite, full of ôyes sirs and ôno sirs,ö Taylor is not a violent person. He just has a violent vocation.
But concrete bricks are his victims.
ôViolence is a sign of insecurity. Violent people are afraid of themselves,ö he said. ôThey were picked on perhaps, and now they put their guard up. They become violent and mean and pick on weaker people. But guess what? That brick ainĺt gonna change because it canĺt talk. It canĺt move. Youĺve got to make it move. When you are relaxed inside and donĺt want to hurt anyone, thatĺs how I work. I donĺt let that brick stop me.ö
On the contrary, rather than stopping him, breaking bricks has propelled Taylor, a Warren resident, around the world. He has performed his unique talent on television programs in Japan, Italy and Turkey and completed demonstrations elsewhere.
Here in the United States, he has performed on Fox Sports Best Damn Sports Show, NBCĺs Americaĺs Got Talent and NBCĺs Today Show Live at Rockefeller Center in New York City, among others.
He holds three Guinness Book of World Records for speed brick breaking and is the current standard bearer, breaking 584 bricks with his hands in 57.5 seconds.
It is that record landed him in the most recent addition of ôRipleyĺs Believe It or Not Dare to Look,ö which hit bookstores on Sept. 10.
Taylor is featured in the ôRaw Strengthö section of the book, between a man who broke 30 baseball bats over his leg in under 60 seconds and an Indian strongman who tore through 50, 2,000-page phonebooks in three minutes with his bare hands. The hardcover, coffee-table styled book features 245 pages of oddities and records from around the world.
As Taylor describes it, the ôraw strengthö category might be the wrong placement for his achievement. Yes, he is strong. As a young blue-belt at a karate tournament, he broke an opponentĺs shoulder with a padded back fist. It was after that incident that his teacher suggested he start breaking inanimate objects rather than people.
But he insists it is speed, not power and a strong mind that has led him to the brick-breaking records. Rather than driving through a stack of five or six one-inch thick concrete bricks and risking injury to his hands or arms, he snaps at each pile with well-practiced form and weight distribution, and his hands are a blur while moving down the line.
Outside his karate studio, Community Fitness Martial Arts Academy in Warren, he gave a brief demonstration. As curious onlookers gathered, he challenged a woman that he could break 30 bricks faster than she could drink a less-than-full Dixie cup of water.
When it was over, Taylor had destroyed the 30 bricks, set in six stacks, five bricks high, in 1.7 seconds. The woman, with water splashed across the front of her shirt and water still in her cup, finished a distant second.
To steal from Muhammad Ali, even at 45 years old, Taylor can float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.
ôItĺs not harder, itĺs faster,ö he said of his technique. ôI have the ability to transfer my power instantly. I donĺt have to meditate like other people do, or sit there and conjure up spirit. Iĺve got instant chi (an ancient reference to life force). I can focus instantly. A lot of people think Iĺm an alien because I can do these feats and I never get hurt.ö
But Big K is indeed human. In April 2009, he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. He changed his diet, started taking medication and only five months later set a world distance record by breaking 809 bricks over a distance of 100 yards.
He put on that exhibition in downtown Mount Clemens to raise awareness about women and child abuse. That day, he again proved he was human with an act of humanity.
These days, Kevin Taylor still puts on his exhibitions. This summer, he appeared on a television show in Turkey, breaking tempered glass car windows with his hands. He serves as the chief instructor at his Warren school and another in Madison Heights and hopes to continue to motivate his students with his efforts.
ôYes, I do it to motivate my students. I do it to show that you donĺt have to be built like Bruce Lee to be a great martial artist. You donĺt have to kick the lights out to be a martial artist,ö he said.
ôI teach them you have to have a pure understanding of yourself, in your heart and in your mind. You have to be humble. You have to teach yourself something. If you have pride or envy, you canĺt teach yourself anything.ö
For his next exhibition, Kevin Taylor plans to crush 10, 31-gallon galvanized metal garbage cans from 5-feet tall to under six inches in less than a minute for a Guinness Book of World Records television program. He said the program will be produced in either Egypt, Turkey or Italy in 2014.

Something as simple as taking a bath can be a real challenge to some elderly folk as well as anyone who must use a wheelchair in order to be mobile.

Library History
The new building was not without problems. The seal on the windows was poor and the windows all around the building began to turn blue. Iroquois Door Company was called in to replace all of the window panes!
On June 8th the voters approved the library budget of $358,761 by a margin of 1194 to 863. Sharon Fulmer was reelected to another five year term as a Trustee. At the June 23rd Board meeting Patricia Swanson was elected as Board President. Other trustees were Dr. James Klaiber, Bruce Johnson and Stuart Krupkin.
July 4th the library was closed but staff attended a ceremony in Lamb Park where a Time Capsule was buried. ( This is the triangular piece of land on the south side of Vine Street bordered by Second Street and Route 57). According to an original document "the history of the bicentennial year 1976 and other articles of interest and history from organizations and churches of our village" were placed in the capsule which was buried "below [the] rock, in the center of Liverpool." The large red, white and blue striped drum was buried beneath a large rock. Co-chairs of the Village Citizen Committee were Shirley Jefferson and Kenneth P. Hurst. Members of the committee included Floyd W. Tillotson, Village mayor; James L. Moore, Deputy Mayor; Connie Ostuni and Virginia Peta, Historical Society; Fred P. Kies, Mr. Liverpool; Richard Baseline, Clergy, Faye (sic) Golden, Librarian, D. Kenneth Sargent, architect and Richard Worden, American Legion Commanger ( sic).
July 5th was the first day of the new "Summerbus!" program where children of elementary school age were bused to the library for a morning of story time, a movie, crafts and book selection. Ninety five children attended on the first day. There were five different bus routes covering the entire Liverpool Central School District. Each day children came from a different area of the school district. The program ran for six weeks. It was very popular and circulation soared!
The sixth annual Art in the Park show was held on July 9 and 10 in Johnson Park.
On December 2, 1977 a birthday party was held to celebrate having the Gaylord computerized circulation system for one year. Gaylord personnel were present too.
According to the local newspaper a flagpole which had been donated by the owners of the Liverpool Golf and Country Club, the Ajemian family, was to be removed from a village park. Thanks to the efforts of D. Kenneth Sargent and the Liverpool Village Board it was relocated to the Tulip Street side of the library. A plaque still in the library today says that the flag was donated to the library by Rose Ajemian and her family in memory of Archie Ajemian.
It was during the late seventies that Toby Crawford did his slide presentations of places he visited as well as of the local Liverpool area. The Community Room was well used by local nonprofit groups as well as for library programs. Musical concerts on Sunday afternoons proved to be very popular. The library offered a free film series on Saturdays in addition to many story hours throughout the week for preschool children. Over 160 people participated in the second annual Pumpkin Bash on Halloween. A Holiday Book Fair and Bakefest was held just prior to Thanksgiving. Librarian James Shults, a certified teacher, even offered a class in beginning Latin.
Glass display cases in the lobby were filled with interesting exhibits. At Christmas time hand painted ceramic figures known as "Little Saints" or Les Santons de Provence were displayed for the first time. Each year the library would add figurines to the set.

It's a relatively new style of horror that emerged with an anthology called Reality Check: An Anthology Of Horror. It's part horror story part documentary (the narration is used as an unspoken narrator, the video camera, TV camera, or portable vid camera.)
The Blair Witch Project is a good example of the docuhorror sub-genre. This kind of horror makes one think. It makes it scary because it would have a real time effect.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/1/2013 (1679 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A former Manitoba sheriff's officer has been spared a criminal record for an off-duty assault of a B.C. trucker.
Wayne Mineault pleaded guilty to the 2009 incident which occurred at a business in Stony Mountain. He returned to court Thursday for sentencing, where Queen's Bench Justice Brenda Keyser agreed with his request for a discharge. The Crown had been seeking a period of probation.
Mineault, 48, was acting in his other job as a broker for a local trucking firm and had arranged for a shipment from Washington state, court was told. He met the victim to unload the delivery, at which point the two men became involved in an argument over the method of payment.
Mineault also drew the ire of the trucker when he tried to go into the back of the man's rig. The trucker told him to stay out, at which point Mineault flashed his sheriff's badge and said "I'm a sheriff's officer, I'll do what I want to do."
The argument ended with Mineault shoving the man to the ground, causing a minor shoulder injury.
Defence lawyer Mike Cook said his client deeply regrets his conduct that day and has since resigned his post as a sheriff. Keyser said she was satisfied this was an isolated, out-of-character incident for Mineault.
"It's apparent he's embarrassed and genuinely remorseful for his actions," said Keyser. "In the grand scheme of things it's a fairly minor offence."

Best In ShowLogic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
Five dogs recently competed for best in show in the local kennel club. Each dog belonged to a different AKC group, preferred a different kind of treat, and wore a different color lead. Can you determine each dog's group, lead color, favorite treat, and the place he or she took in the show?
Note: The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a member of the Hound Group.
1. The dog with the red lead finished before the dog who liked chicken bites, but after the dog that belonged to the herding group (who is not Sadie).
2. The dog that placed third was not Rusty (who is a working dog).
3. The sporting dog placed just ahead of the one with a pink lead, and somewhere behind Charlie (who didn't like rawhide treats).
4. The hound did not like the beef or liver treats.
5. Rusty did not wear the blue lead.
6. Wags, who hated Scooby snacks, was a Rhodesian Ridgeback, and his handler hated the color green, so she would never let him wear a green lead.
7. Neither Pharaoh nor Sadie liked Scooby snacks or wore green.
8. The herding dog, who hated beef biscuits, had a blue lead for good luck, but did not take first place.
9. The 3rd place dog did not wear a red lead.
10. Pharaoh is not a sporting dog.
11. The five dogs in order of rank, from 1st to 5th, were:
The one who ate Scooby snacks, Charlie, the one who loved beef biscuits, the sporting dog, and the one with the pink lead.
AnswerRusty - Working - Green - Scooby Snacks - 1st
Charlie - Herding - Blue - Liver Cubes- 2nd
Pharaoh - Toy - Purple - Beef Biscuits - 3rd
Sadie - Sporting - Red - Rawhide Chews - 4th
Wags - Hound - Pink - Chicken Bites - 5th

AN EAST LANCASHIRE teenager whp has just won a scholarship for her sporting achievement has been chosen to play netball at a national level.
St Mary's College student Francesca Barrientos, 17, was one of 18 people nationally chosen to play for the British Netball Team.
The move is possible thaks to the college's flexible programme of study around sport.
Bosses said its Sports Academy, which is for students who are serious about sport and have a talent for football or netball, was proving highly successful.
Francesca, who also plays netball for the Yorkshire Jets and St Mary's netball team, had to battle her way through three stages culminating in a final trial at Nottingham University before she was chosen.
She is to represent the college-age team for the 2012/2013 season and will be competing against top players from across Europe as well as further afield.
Kelly Reynolds, Francesca's PE and netball coach at the college, said: "Francesca already plays at a high level outside college.
"It takes quite a lot of dedication and fitness. Francesca is a lovely girl, a dedicated student and netballer and an excellent role model to others in her sport. We are really pleased that she can showcase her netball talent at a national level."
The former St Augustine's student from Clayton-le-Moors, said she was extremely nervous when it came down to choosing the squad.
She said: "It was scary. We were training and they were writing things down on clip boards about us. Then they went out of the room for an hour. When they came back they gave each of us a letter and I couldn't read mine there in front of everyone. I went outside and opened the letter and that's when I knew I was in."
Howard Best, head of sport at St Mary's said: "We are delighted that Francesca chose to come to St Mary's College where she has been offered a flexible programme of study around her sport. At our annual prize evening at King Georges Hall, Francesca was awarded the Finley Scholarship, recognising her outstanding sporting achievement. This extra sport funding will help Francesca continue her netball success nationally."

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I ordered these thank you cards for my wedding and they are beautiful. I used a Hi-Res photo from my photographer and because of the card stock the picture isn't as crisp as it could be. Other than that it really is a beautiful card. I used Wedding Paper Divas for my invitations as well. I love this site and the ease of placing orders."
"I wanted to make a photo card for our thank yous so that everyone who attended had a photo of my husband and I; further, I wanted to send a photo to all those who sent along a gift or card, but who could not attend. I think these turned out beautifully. The cardstock is a nice weight, it is the perfect size for terse and simple thank yous and I was impressed with the picture quality. Other reviewers complained about the sides not meeting up correctly - there is the slightest overlap when folded, but it is minimal and does not detract from the card. Would highly recommend."
"This product was very easy to make. Just upload my photos and place them where I want. Great way to send out thank yous and for family & friends to see a few pictures from the wedding."
"I am so glad I invested in this quality thank you card. The final product is so attractive! It feels like a suitable card to match the amount of gratitude my husband and I have for our guests! I know people will savor these!"
"WeddingPaperDivas was wonderful to help me customize the card for my wedding colors and the paper and envelopes are great quality."

Here are the highlights about why the Rangers decided to re-call Sean Avery (or at least, put him on re-entry waivers). Will have audio in a few minutes right below this:
John Tortorella:
Why Avery now?
"Rupper. Rupper has a lot to do with this. We're concerned about this. So we have to be careful there. Not sure what's going to happen. There's a couple other things that come along with it. But this is the right decision. It's a hockey decision. It's the right hockey decision now. And it was the right hockey decision when we sent Sean down. So that's where it's at.
"As I said yesterday, we have concerns with Rupper. I'm not sure when he's going to play.
"Sean's biggest strength are his legs. He's a terrific skater. Obviously a big part of his game is forechecking, his play underneath the hashmarks. So we want him to play to his strengths and also work on the other parts of the game away from the puck. So it's just like any other player. When you call a guy up, we want him to help us win a hockey game. It's not that convoluted in my thinking, whether it's Sean or Zuc (Mats Zuccarello) or Newbs (Kris Newbury) or Devo (Andre Deveaux), we want them to do the best they can to help us win a hockey game."
"With Sean, it's Rupper. …"
"When a guy like Rupper goes out, to me, it's the right call for Sean in this situation here because it fills that role that we bring Rupper in for during the offseason."
Here's the audio, with stuff also about Artem Anisimov saying this morning that he lost consciousness Saturday, but team officials insisting he didn't understand the question. Tortorella also discusses the sky-is-falling feeling after nine games.

I know it is not wise to work with recursive functions, but I think I need one. I have two vectors (arrays: state1, state2) and would like to interpolate in between with a certain step size (array: step). For three dimensions this function works:
- Code: Select all
def recurse(state1, state2, step):
var1 = state1[0]
while var1 <= state2[0]:
var2 = state1[1]
while var2 <= state2[1]:
var3 = state1[2]
while var3 <= state2[2]:
print var1,var2,var3
var3 *= step[2]
var2 += step[1]
var1 += step[0]
However, I will need to use vectors up to dimension 30. Moreover, the first two dimensions are additive and the rest are multiplicative.
How could I generalize these nested loops to a flexible recursive function?
Thanks in advance,

Topic: Platelets
I had to stop chemo (Gemcitabine + Carboplatin) 6 weeks ago due to low platelets (about 30). My platelets recovered in a few weeks to about 60 and are now stuck at that level (without chemo). But history is that they dive whenever I have chemo. I realise that everyone gets this effect but mine seems particularly severe and oncologist therefore wants to try alternative chemo (Capecitabine alone) which he says should have less impact on platelets.
My bone marrow has been checked and it is ok - making the cells which make the platelets - and oncolgist says that some cancers "gobble up" platelets.
Has anyone else had such an experience ?
