New Age Religious Practices in the Classroom
The piece that follows is an introduction to New Age in the classroom. Parents are encouraged to visit the websites listed below and read the recommended books for further and more in-depth information.
A Nation At Risk was published in 1983, bringing the state of education in America to the forefront of public debate. Since then, with the passing of Goals 2000, HR 6 (IASA of 1994) and The School to Work Opportunities Act (STWOA), and the implementation thereof, parents have begun to ask questions like "Where are the academics?" Parents look back at their own education and look at the money that is currently being put out for this new educational system and ask, "The old way worked, so why do we need a new education system?"
The reply that parents have received to the latter inquiry generally focuses on Sputnik, clocks, and seat time, that while "the old education system was doing a good job of educating children, a new system is needed to meet the needs of the future"; that we have passed from the "industrial age" to the "information age" and we must adjust our education system to compensate. That the old education system (referred to as the Taylorian education system) was set up to produce workers on a factory assembly line, we are told; the new system will focus on the "information age" – a rapidly and constantly changing age of technology in which people will change jobs many times and must be able to work in different capacities.
Sounds logical enough if you focus on Sputnik, clocks, and seat time. But let's change that focus. What was taught to children in the so-called Taylorian schools? The answer, of course, is academic rigor [1]. Suddenly the focus on Sputnik, clocks, and seat time becomes subordinate to what the children learned in those schools. And suddenly the explanation as to why we need to move to this new "information age" school that focuses not on academics but on process and wanted behaviors, on globalism, radical environmentalism, acceptance of all life styles, multicultural diversity, gender equity, self-esteem, cooperative and collaborative learning, etc, doesn't hold up to scrutiny which brings us back, again, to the question of "why do we need this new education system?"
That answer came, in part, in the form of a curriculum in-service seminar on self-esteem being sponsored by District 81 and a Spokane orthodontist in October, 1995. This seminar presented psychotherapist Jack Canfield. In his book, Self-Esteem In the Classroom, A Curriculum Guide, Canfield quotes Dr Wayne Dyer,
Once you see a child's self-image begin to improve, you will see significant gains in achievement areas, but even more important you will see a child who is beginning to enjoy life more.
Well, that doesn't sound so bad – so what's the problem? On page 7, Mr Canfield states,
Finally, a student must also learn to value and trust her subconscious world which manifests itself through intuition, imagination, dreams, daydreams and fantasy. Not only have we failed to develop the imaginal capacity in children through the proper use of guided imagery and fantasy, we have actually retarded its development...
Guided imagery, guided fantasy? What are we talking about here? Mr Canfield explains, also on page 7:
Ask them to close their eyes and to imagine (i.e., see inside their head as if it were actually happening) ...
You have just read the introductory to guided imagery/fantasy. The curriculum guide goes on to instruct the teacher on how to introduce and use guided imagery/fantasy, and on the benefits of using it. In his book, 101 Ways to Develop Student Self-Esteem and Responsibility, Vol I, Canfield states,
Guided Imagery is a very powerful psychological tool....
When students are participating in a guided imagery experience, they are in an altered state of consciousness. Their brain wave activity is slowed down. They are highly relaxed.
In an article entitled Education in the New Age, published in the February, 1978, issue of the New Age journal [2], Jack Canfield states,
If you're teaching in public school, don't call it meditation, call it 'centering.'
Are we to gather that parents just wouldn't understand were these techniques called by their real names? Are these people afraid that parents wouldn't approve were they to know the truth?
Parents need to understand that guided imagery and guided fantasy use techniques that place children in altered states of consciousness and amount to psychotherapy and psycho hypnosis in the classroom, by teachers neither trained nor licensed to use these powerful psychological tools, begging the question of medical malpractice. Recently, an Eastern Washington elementary teacher took his class through a guided fantasy outlined in a teacher's guide while his students were lying on the floor in a darkened classroom. He became concerned when he had difficulty bringing one of his students back to full consciousness. Other children have had involuntary flashbacks while in a conscious state. The result of improper use of these techniques can be very detrimental to children. Psychotherapists are medically trained and licensed to use these procedures, teachers are not. Parents also need to know that children in altered states of consciousness are very open to suggestion.
Other terms used relative to these techniques that parents should be aware of are alpha state, altered state of consciousness, dream wanderings, intuitive thinking, imagery, meditation, right brain tapping, sanctified imagination, creative imagery, concentrating our energies, relaxation exercises, contacting one's higher self, self-esteem, psycho physiological exercise, and guardian spirits.
By whatever name they are called, these techniques are part of a theology (religion) known as New Age. The underlying premise of New Age theology has been recognized by the courts as a religion, making any use of the techniques and theology relevant thereto illegal in the classroom in accordance with Article IX, Section 4, of the Washington State Constitution,
All schools maintained or supported wholly or in part by the public funds shall be forever free from sectarian control or influence.
and Article I, Section 11, of the Washington State Constitution,
No public money or property shall be appropriated for or applied to any religious worship, exercise, or instruction, or the support of any religious establishment....
What are the tenets of New Age theology? They believe ....
1) rejection of absolute reality;
2) impersonalism [3]of God and man;
3) nature is God;
4) evolution;
5) man is God;
6) we create our own reality; and
7) the need to achieve a conscious union of the god of nature. [4]
In accordance with their religion, they believe in multicultural diversity, higher order thinking skills attained by expansion of the mind into the psychic realm, that right and wrong are a matter of perception (values clarification in the form of critical thinking/problem solving/decision making), environmentalism, holistic education (teaching to the whole child through "brain-based teaching"), cooperative and collaborative learning as a way of the child becoming part of the harmonious global community in which all strive for the collective purpose, and self-esteem through the child finding his "inner" and "higher self" – collectively known as self-divination, etc. If you think this sounds like something out of the 60's and the hippy generation, know that the New Age movement found audience in America with the hippy generation.
In the New Age book, The Aquarian Conspiracy, author Marilyn Ferguson, on page 280-281, states,
You can only have a new society, the visionaries have said, if you change the education of the younger generation. Yet the new society itself is the necessary force for change in education. ...
Of the Aquarian Conspirators surveyed, more were involved in education than in any other single category of work. They were teachers, administrators, policymakers, educational psychologists. ...
There are heroes in education, as there have always been heroes, trying to transcend the limits of the old structure; but their efforts are too often thwarted by peers, administrators, parents. Mario Fantini, former Ford consultant on education, now at the State University of New York, said bluntly, 'The psychology of becoming [5] has to be smuggled into the schools.'
On page 289-291, Ferguson lays out the "new paradigm of learning" versus the "old paradigm" (representative of the traditional education system). The "new paradigm" looks amazingly like those being published by school districts and education reform proponents all across the United States with the possible exception of the Eastern Orthodox practices (guided imagery, centering, dream journals, etc). The new paradigm is known as the transformational paradigm [6].
Dr S Alan Cohen, Professor Emeritus, University of San Francisco and Institute for Effective Instruction, had this to say in the foreword of the Fall 1995 issue of Outcomes, pages 9-10:
When OBE educators documented their outcomes, they found themselves in the predicament of the naked emperor. Everyone could now see the school's outcomes for what they were – light on basics, heavy on muddled ambiguities. At our institute we call these ambiguities FUZZIES. In his monograph, Dr Manno associates these fuzzies with Transformational OBE's "Aquarian" perspective... [7]
Personally I admit to these Aquarian values...
...for decades educators have been harboring Aquarian outcomes that fundamentalists trace to the liberal Devil. Only when OBE forced educators to articulate them did they become available targets.
We find the tenets of the New Age movement heavily infused in material being published regarding education reform and are, in fact, evident in many of the exit outcomes at the local and state levels. The why and wherefore of this is explained in Systems Thinking.
[1] Actually, while the old system is referred to, disparagingly, as the Taylorian system of education, the old system of education, pre-1930, was actually a classical educational system intended to stimulate and discipline the intellect of the child. [Back]
[2] This article also references such notables as Dr William Glasser, Dr Carl Rogers, Dr George Lozanov, Dr Roberto Assagioli, Jean Houston, Sidney Simon, and Louis Raths – who worked with both Hilda Taba and Sidney Simon. [Back]

[4] Basic Principles of New Age Thought; Dr John Eidsmoe; New Leaf Press; 1991; pps 27, 28. A Concise Dictionary of Cults & Religions, William Watson, Moody Press; 1991; p 162; lists these same tenets as (1) all is one (monism); (2) all is God (pantheism); (3) "we are all divine" (4) we have lived and will live many lifetimes (reincarnation), (5) we create our own reality, decide our own truth; (6) all religions are true (universalism); and (7) a new world order is coming. [Back]
[5] "The psychology of becoming" refers to Third Force psychology, specifically the human potential movement of which Carl Rogers was a leading advocate. [Back]
[6] Traditional education deals with the cognitive domain; transitional education brings in the affective domain; transformational education deals with the psychomotor domain through cognitive dissonance. See Third Force Psychology in the Classroom. A society that becomes transformational is known as a dialectic society. Dialectic societies based on values emanating from within self (humanist) have, historically, failed. [Back]

Access "The data center's hidden cost "
This article is part of the April 2012, Vol. 38 issue of The data center of the future
Business units and application owners have long regarded power as free of cost—much in the same way that it's easy to regard disk space, memory and CPU as "free." But power consumption is a silent cost in the heart of the data center, and power costs may hide in several areas of a facility. Power is constantly running, and owned by corporate IT, not by the business users that consume it. And many now think that power costs need to be included in the brand-new set of chargeback formulas that are currently circulating. Server virtualization has allowed many businesses to do more with less, or to grow their business without having to also grow their physical server footprint. In part the drive toward server consolidation was intended to reduce power and cooling costs—but some efficiencies have yet to be fully exploited. Many virtualization platforms, like VMware's High Availability and Distributed Resource Scheduler technologies, support hypervisor clustering for availability and performance. However, anecdotally I've heard that few customers have adopted its ... Access >>>

The Benefits of Vitamin C
Vitamin C's Role in the Body
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues. It's involved in many body functions, including formation of collagen, absorption of iron, the immune system, wound healing, and the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth.
Vitamin C is one of many antioxidants that can protect against damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals, as well as toxic chemicals and pollutants like cigarette smoke. Free radicals can build up and contribute to the development of health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and arthritis.
Vitamin C is not stored in the body (excess amounts are excreted), so overdose is not a concern. But it's still important not to exceed the safe upper limit of 2,000 milligrams a day to avoid stomach upset and diarrhea.
Water-soluble vitamins must be continuously supplied in the diet to maintain healthy levels. Eat vitamin-C-rich fruits and vegetables raw, or cook them with minimal water so you don't lose some of the water-soluble vitamin in the cooking water.
Vitamin C is easily absorbed both in food and in pill form, and it can enhance the absorption of iron when the two are eaten together.
Deficiency of vitamin C is relatively rare, and primarily seen in malnourished adults. In extreme cases, it can lead to scurvy -- characterized by weakness, anemia, bruising, bleeding, and loose teeth.
How to Get More Vitamin C in Your Diet
This antioxidant super-nutrient is found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. Yet, according to dietary intake data and the 2005 U.S. Dietary Guidelines, most adults don't get enough vitamin C in their diets. This is especially true of smokers and non-Hispanic black males, according to research done by Jeff Hampl, PhD, RD, and colleagues at the University of Arizona.
The foods richest in vitamin C are citrus fruits, green peppers, strawberries, tomatoes, broccoli, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Other good sources include dark leafy greens, cantaloupe, papaya, mango, watermelon, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, red peppers, raspberries, blueberries, winter squash, and pineapples.
Here are eight easy ways to work more fruits and veggies into your diet each day:
- Add pureed or grated fruits and veggies to recipes for muffins, meatloaf, and soups.
- Keep cut-up fruits and veggies on hand so they are ready for a quick snack.
- Frozen fruit slices make a cool summer treat.
- Include dark lettuce, tomatoes, and shredded broccoli slaw on all your sandwiches and wraps.
- Eat raw veggies with hummus, low-fat dips, and salsas.
- Add fresh or frozen berries to muffins, pancakes, cereal, and salads.
- Throw a handful of dried fruit on top of your cereal or in a baggie with nuts for an easy snack.
- Enjoy a glass of vegetable juice as a filling and low-calorie mid-afternoon snack.

Poor Draft Picks or Coaching Issue?
Thanks to Big Ray, WR, & Paddy O for their inspiration on this new post. Before diving into each of the Falcons soon-to-be free agents and whether they should sign or ship them, thought it an interesting idea to see how the Falcons have done with developing the players that have been drafted the last four years.
Has the coaching staff done a poor job of developing players, or at least failed to give them a legitimate change? Or have the draft picks simply been below par. It's obviously a hard thing to figure out with limited knowledge for us fans, but it's been frustrating never knowing if the Falcons had some quality players that were never given a chance to shine or if the picks just weren't that good.
A Coaching Issue or…….
On one side of the coin is the belief that this Falcons coaching staff, led by Smith's hyper-conservative philosophy on all fronts, have been entirely too cautious and

Disclaimer: There are no spoilers in this recap at all. Seriously.
With 15 chefs making the cut last week, we jump straight into the action, complete with some guest judges and a big ole' twist.
After nine seasons, Top Chef now has more runners-up than Real Housewives has plastic surgeries, and Stefan, CJ, and Josie are standing with Padma to introduce the Quickfire. The chefs split themselves up into teams of three according to apron color, and John gets right into being offensive by snagging a blue apron after he sees Kuniko grab one because "She's Japanese…maybe she has incredible knife skills."
Of course, because while us 'Mericans were learning to walk, every little Japanese boy and girl is catching flies with chopsticks and juggling Ginsu knives.
The teams have a very short 20 minutes to prepare some form of local shellfish – complete with many jokes about everyone's favorite phallic bivalve, the geoduck. The orange team looks like the clear favorite to crash and burn, due mostly to the fact that Carla is one part diva, one part Real Housewife, and two parts nutcase. What else is there to want in life than to "be a James Beard and have a nice ass"?
It seems that John's premonition about Kuniko wasn't that far off base. (My instincts told me the same things, though it wasn't racially motivated. She was an early sleeper pick for my Top Chef team.) Their geoduck sashimi with ponzu, apple, and cucumber won John, Kuniko, and Sheldon their first Quickfire. Unfortunately, immunity wasn't on the table for everyone, and they drew knives so see who got the free pass. John comes out the winner.
And here comes the big crotch punch for all of these Top Chef newbies: Those three veteran guest judges? They are now full-fledged competitors and will be sticking around for the entire season (or, at least until they get eliminated.)
If the Twitter feeds are any indication, most of the Top Chef public was just as indifferent to Josie's return as I was. I saw a lot of "OMG! CJ and Stefan are back!" I scrolled through hundreds of tweets…not one mention of ole' Josie. Hopefully she can prove to be more memorable than she was in Season 2.
The teams stay together for the Elimination challenge, with the newly added veterans donning the red aprons. We get a few cut scenes where they talk about their escapades since leaving their seasons of Top Chef, Stefan delivers and epically ego-maniacal rants about how many restaurants he owns – oh, how I'd forgotten how delightfully crass that little thumb of a man can be – and there is understandable frustration from the rest of the cast.
The challenge this week is simple, a trend that I hope continues. The teams must cook a dish highlighting local Seattle ingredients for Tom Douglas at the Sky City Restaurant at the top of the iconic Space Needle.
Seriously, what is it about women named Carla on this show being crazy? At one point, while team Orange floundered in the kitchen over their poached salmon, the rest of the teams stood by in awe to watch the collagen-injected Tasmanian devil scamper around the kitchen and babble unintelligibly. After cooking was finished, she nicked her hand while putting up her knives and proceeded to freak. I'm pretty sure I could see the medic holding back a laugh while she talked about her relief narrowly avoiding nerve damage.
For all of the hullabaloo over the veteran chefs, they did little to impress. CJ had the huevos to change the dish right before cooking began and incorporated quail. Perhaps he has forgotten how this show works. Fortune favors the bold, not the stupid. But, it does give Stefan the chance to slide in some booby references, which is always fun. CJ's cherry emulsion came out a little less than "super rad" and the quail was overdone, and this didn't sit too well with the judges. The red team winds up in the bottom.
Along with them is the Gray team (Jeffrey, Brooke, and Bart). It pained me that Jeffrey was responsible for turning their halibut into a "hockey puck", considering I wasted my second round draft pick on him. But that overcooked fish lands their team in the bottom and gets Jeffrey booted off the show.
But, once again, John's racist instincts paid off. The Blue teams wound up sweeping the episode, both times with Kuniko being the driving force. Her brilliant decision to poach cod in chili oil clinched the win. I loved how nonchalantly she just started another batch after letting her first pot of oil burn, something that clearly freaked her teammates out. The Blue team comes out on top, and Kuniko is the first Elimination challenge winner of Top Chef Seattle.
Highlights and quotes:
"For the first thing to put in my mouth in Seattle, not bad. That came out wrong." – Gail
"There is not one person that I met that didn't say 'Stefan…you should have won.' Of course I should have won." – Stefan

One little thing did catch my attention. While we wonder how in the hell someone like Carla made it to Top Chef, I did hear Gail Simmons exclaim that the beurre blanc was the best she had ever tasted (and I'm sure she's tasted quite a few). That was Carla's beurre blanc. Surprise!

Hugh "The lobster is well-cooked but there's a lot going on." , Bart " Thank You ." The only chef to cheftestant interaction I've enjoyed so far .
Man a salad with both bacon and lobster has to be so delicious . Anyhow I hope it picks up and its not all about the fish . This episode was kinda lame but for what ever reason I'm really digging Bart . I'm really glad he stuck for another week .

De Gea
A couple of nervy kicks early on, but the Spaniard soon seemed to settle and dealt with a handful of crosses well. Passed his first real test when he made an impressive double save to deny Galatasaray on the counter attack.
J. Evans
Looked impressive on his return to the starting line-up, though in truth Galatasaray's attack offered little versatility and was comfortably dealt with for most of the night.
N. Vidić
Very fortunate not to concede a penalty in the first minute of the match for a trip on Bulut, but from then on looked commanding against the physical threat of Elmander, and nearly scored with a header shortly before the hour mark. Booked a little harshly for a raised arm against Buruk Yilmaz.
P. Evra
An effective outlet on the left but was too often exposed in the first half as Nani failed to track the forward runs of Eboue.
Kept quiet for much of the first half by Eboue and Amrabat, but looked more adventurous in the second period and won his side a penalty with a strong forward burst.
Denied by a good save early on after some fine link-up play with Kagawa,and combined well with the Japanese star throughout the match. Offered only a token obstacle in defence against the adventurous Eboue. His poor penalty was easily saved by Muslera, and his attempts to win another almost allowed Galatasaray to equalise on the break.
P. Scholes
Flashes of brilliance were marred by flashes of carelessness on the ball in a mixed first half for the veteran, who seemed to fade from the action in the second period as Galatasaray began to dominate the middle.
M. Carrick
Took his goal superbly early on, showing great composure to round Muslera and slot home. His passing was assured all night as he distributed well to the flanks, Valencia in particular.
A. Valencia
Bamboozled Hakan Balta on more than one occasion early on before Galatasaray doubled-up on the Ecuador international and curtailed his attacking threat.
R. van Persie
A very quiet night for the Dutchman, as he struggled early on to link with his fellow attackers with one or two sloppy passes. A poor first touch cost him a clear-cut chance for a goal on his European debut for the club, before he was booked for a late lunge on Altintop. Replaced by Chicharito with 10 minutes to go.
S. Kagawa
Pulled the strings well in United's attack as he floated confidently between the lines. Combined well with Nani early in the second half and only a last-ditch tackle denied a clear shot on goal.
F. Muslera
Made a good save when one-on-one with Nani early on but could not stop Carrick from getting the better of him a minute later. His save from Nani's penalty was a comfortable one, as he refused to be fooled by the stuttering run-up.
H. Balta
Offered less of an attacking threat than Eboue on the opposite flank, and was exposed by the pace of Valencia and the vision of Carrick on more than one occasion.
E. Eboué
Began the match a little shakily as he conceded two needless corners in quick succession, and was perhaps fortunate to survive appeals for a penalty after Muslera parried the ball against his arm. A willing runner going forward, he could have caused United's defence real problems, but his crossing was too inconsistent.
S. Kaya
Left for dead as Carrick ghosted past him early on for United's opener, but otherwise put in an assured display. A commanding presence in the air, he kept Van Persie quiet for the first hour of the match.
D. Nounkeu
Another who performed well to keep Van Persie quiet, he also provided a crucial last-minute block to stop Chicharito from putting the game to bed.
Felipe Melo
Offered little to nothing going forward but protected his back four very well, particularly as Kagawa began to fade from the game. Rarely conceding possession, he kept the side ticking over with efficient use of the ball.
S. İnan
Missed the best chance of the first half for his side as he fired wide from 18 yards out when unmarked following a short free-kick. Worked tirelessly to nullify the passing threat of Scholes, especially in the second half.
Hamit Altıntop
Physically too strong for Nani to handle defensively, he almost got his side level with a crisp low drive early in the second half. Was a consistent threat down the United left, and almost provided the assist for an equaliser with a devilish cross.
N. Amrabat
Was unlucky to see a superb curling effort clip the top of the crossbar after just 10 minutes. Consistently the visitors' brightest attacking outlet in the first half, keeping Rafael subdued until he was replaced by Colak after 65 minutes as he began to tire.
U. Bulut
Withdrawn after just 15 minutes in place of Johan Elmander, though there appeared to be no injury involved.
B. Yılmaz
The main fulcrum for Galatasaray's attacks, he linked well early on between midfield and target-man Elmander, but began to fade from the action as the game wore on. Gave away the penalty for a clumsy trip on Rafael early in the second half.
D. Fletcher
Made his long-awaited return to first-team action to tumultuous applause from the home faithful. Did not have much time to stamp his mark on the game, but it was a welcome run-out for the Scotland man.
J. Hernández
Replaced the ineffective Van Persie for the final ten minutes, but fluffed three clear-cut chances in his brief cameo, although one of these was due to some fine last-ditch defending.
E. Çolak
Came on after 65 minutes to reinvigorate the Galatasaray left-flank, which had become less effective after half-time. Bright on the ball, he was denied by a superb De Gea stop with 15 minutes to go.
J. Elmander
Replaced Bulut early on and caused trouble with his physical presence, but lacked the pace to worry Evans and Vidic unduly.

A 14-year-old has already been pregnant three times, and her 35-year-old boyfriend is finally headed to jail.
Just when you thought it couldn't get more disgusting than the dad who claimed he thought he was having sex with his wife when he impregnated an 11-year-old.
The girl's older, but somehow this story is just as chilling -- perhaps more so.
According to the Vancouver Sun, restaurant manager Mark Tyndale (not to be confused with the basketball player of the same name) struck up a relationship with the child in January 2007.
By April, it was sexual.
She went through not one, not two, but three pregnancies in a year and a half. The first she aborted, sparking a suicide attempt. No cops were called in to stop it.
The second she miscarried. Again, no cops.
Somehow the cops finally got wind of this some time before the third pregnancy -- although she still managed to BECOME pregnant (and give birth) before Tyndale was ordered away from her.
The court has acknowledged the girl claims to have been a willing participant in all of this, but sexual abuse charges stand against Tyndale because, ahem, she was under the age of consent in Canada.
The fact that he's plead guilty removes all hemming and hawing on this. Someone -- her parents? -- allowed a 14-year-old to spend an inordinate amount of time with a man two and a half times her age.
And then no one threw up a red flag before pregnancy number three?
In the West Virginia case, as creepy as it was, at least things were addressed immediately -- they didn't wait for the girl to be impregnated three times over.
In this case, Mark Tyndale may be the main transgressor. But it looks like someone else should be slapped with some child endangerment charges of their own.
How does something like this happen?

I'm sure someone will disagree wit this, but the clinic that performed the abortion should have been the ones to throw up the red flag. I hate all this medical privacy stuff for kids. I know you can't control your kids every minute of the day. If they're determined to do something, they're going to find a way to do it. But, if doctors were required to notify parents of a child's pregnancy, maybe we would be able to talk to our kids and find out what's going on. Until these kids are at the legal age of consent, then parents need to be notified.
where were the parents to stop this
Well, that was my first question: WHERE THE HELL WERE THE PARENTS?
I don't claim to know EVERYTHING that my kids do (well, mine are all 5 and under, so, really, how much trouble could they get into at home?) but geez, you've got to be living under a rock to not notice SOMETHING was going on with your child, especially something that major.
And what the hell took authorities so long to arrest this guy? A 14-year-old being pregnant the FIRST time should've been reported (and people TRUST abortionists? I don't think so. They are required, by law, to report anyone having an abortion under the age of 18 (17 in some states). Clearly, this 'doctor' dropped the ball).
The poor child...she's gonna need a lot of therapy to get over all of this.
As disguisting as the guy is, where the f*** are her parents, my oldest is 12 and I don't even let her go out with boys her own age, but this girl was with a guy old enough to be her father...The parents should be charged and sitting in jail with this freak

Frank KushJanuary means "bowl season," and for ASU's former head coach, the Sun Devils are always top of mind.
By Kelly Kramer
Frank Kush was a maker of men. For more than 20 years, he roamed the sidelines at Sun Devil Stadium, leading the Sun Devils of Arizona State University to a record 176 wins — including two conference titles — and only 54 losses.
Although the latter part of Kush's tenure at ASU was marked by some controversy, his imprint on the school's football program remains. Kush — now the Sun Devils' director for football development — is the man behind the team's modern-day training camp, Camp Tontozona, as well as the man for whom the stadium's playing field is named.
According to the coach himself, much of his success is due to the camaraderie his teams developed during the time they spent at Camp Tontozona, the university-owned property near Payson where the team spends the latter part of each summer.
"Our first year at Camp T was in 1959," Kush remembers. "Tanner Brothers was building a road from Payson to Kohl's Ranch, and I asked them if they could clear space for a football field. They did. And the coaches and I planted all the grass seed for that field."
Although it took some convincing to get the university, the Board of Regents and the NCAA to approve Camp T as the Devils' summer home, Kush made it happen. And he did it because the place reminded him of Pennsylvania, his childhood home.
"When I played football, my high school purchased the Pittsburgh Steelers' camp because it had been flooded out," he says. "They bought it and straightened it up. I was just in pig heaven when we went there." Why? Having come from a family with 15 children, Kush was delighted to have a bed of his own and three square meals a day. "We had water beds long before anyone had water beds," he adds.
Today, Kush spends much of his time raising money for ASU's football program, but he rarely misses any home games, particularly this season, as the team celebrated its 30th year in the PAC-10.
"Initially, I was opposed to ASU leaving the Western Athletic Conference and moving over to the PAC-10," Kush says. "But then I learned from Coach Dan Devine that we could recruit some of the players that the California schools didn't take. We really wanted great players, so we moved them over from California. The program has really come a long way since then."
Indeed it has. But that's not to say that Kush has forgotten the good old days.
"I still remember the first game I coached in Sun Devil Stadium," he says. "We played West Texas and we beat them. We went in there and just gave them the finger."

Certification for Malaysian IT pros?
A proposal to introduce a bill to force all IT workers in Malaysia to be certified and registered via a single industry body has sparked agitation in the tech sector. If the proposed legislation, the Board of Computing Professionals Malaysia Bill 2011 (BCPM), is passed, Malaysia will be the first country with a law which …
I hope this catches on.
It is good enough for trades, doctors, engineers, vets and teachers to be registered to practice. Some paths are granted automatic registration or exemption from further requirements based on the standards of education.
Maybe then we get some Professional behaviour in the IT profession. I meet too many IT people that only have a job because their standard of work would not be tollerated in any other industry.
My current sysadmin is a walking Denial of Service Attack and somehow managed to blag his way into the job with no certified training. Despite demonstrating his incompetance several times during his probation the firm kept him on. (He must have naked pics of the MD or something.) If the firm's insurance company was to turn around an treat that as the risk that it is, a non registered Syadmin would not be worth the increase in premiums.
Registration won't make a person a good practitioner, but the best ones will be registered.
Damn it!
"They are also forbidden from gaining any fees, charges, remuneration or other form of consideration for any professional technology services rendered."
They left out the most important thing - "or fixing friends and relatives computers for free"
Playing devil's advocate
Doctors and Aircraft Pilots are certified by their respective professional authorities
So why not Computer Programmers?
After all, we can cause real-life death with a register going negative and an appropriate loop...
This is worrying. On first reading, the Bill looks innocuously like it only refers to CNII. However, what's defined as CNII in Malaysia is somewhat vague. Secondly, it would not be beyond the bounds of imagination for a project, however small, to be classed as CNII if that would allow a particular service provider to be excluded in favour of another, especially as the Registration Board's chair is to be subject to ministerial appointment. Despite the section(s) on conflict of interest I can quite easily see a company being deregistered for the duration of a bid process, depending on how many golf club memberships are at the disposal of competing execs.
A couple of comment pieces on CPB:
AC, since I'm an ex-pat IT bod in Malaysia.
any professional registering with the board ... possess professional experience ... unregistered IT professionals will not be allowed to "practice, carry on business or take up employment which requires him to carry out or perform the services of a Registered Computing Professional.
This is why logic should be left to professionals, public servants have no place in this space.
Not suprised really, Malaysia has been pretty hard on IT professionals.
Making them pay for their registration is just another way to kick them in the goulies.
It's Malaysia...
You will be able to by the certification in gross lots five minutes after they pass the legislation - it'll be just another way for them to line their pockets.

Add carbon atom to pure hydrogen
View Single Post
Jan15-11, 09:48 PM
I'm brand new here and this is my first post. I am a regular at TheBackshed.com out of Australia and I found this forum by following a link on the subject of methane production from pure hydrogen. I tried to put my 2-cents' worth in as a "reply" to a comment on this thread, but it wouldn't let me so here I am. That being said, here's my question:
How can I produce methane gas from pure hydrogen without using the Sabatier Reaction?
Let me give you a little background. On TheBackshed.com, most of us build windmills, myself included. The windmills produce electricity using several methods. I build three-phase alternators and rectify the current for use in charging batteries on the ground. To that end, there are times when the alternator puts out more than the batteries either want or can handle and the "excess" is diverted to what is called a "dump load" which is more often than not, merely a resistive load like a water heater. This saves the whole shebang from catching fire, etc.
What we'd like to be able to do is run the excess d.c (direct current) through a Brown's Gas generator (simple electro-mechanical device) to create hydrogen and oxygen from water. The oxygen is "scrubbed" off with iron filings--steel wool and what is left is almost pure hydrogen gas. We'd then like somehow to turn this elusive gas into methane, to be stored under a water column (most likely) and used as a method of storing excess electricity. The methane could be used for cooking or heating or as a weak motive fuel.
Any ideas?

Feminist rock collective Permanent Wave gathers a powerful music scene around a core of activism. Just don't call them riot grrrls.
The brainchild of former Titus Andronicus guitarist Amy Klein, Permanent Wave is three things in one: a "combination between activism, a show-booking entity, and a production company," says Sophie Weiner, who's involved in all three. A feminist rock collective, or call it what you want; its bands are not the kinds of acts that you are likely to see at the Grammys anytime soon.
Here's what a Permanent Wave-sponsored show looks like in practice: A loud electro thump crashes into the graffitied warehouse walls of 285 Kent, a club in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Staccato guitars and unstoppable drums loop around each other as J.D. Samson becomes one with the crowd. "Who am I to feel so free?" she hollers into a sea of waving arms. "Who am I?" Every audience member seems to take the question personally, throwing it back not only at Samson, but at an unseen force of oppression that seems to exist in the air right above them. It's sarcastic, but deadly serious: "WHO. AM I. TO. FEEL SO FREE."
The chant ends, and Samson's band, MEN, steps back. Everyone needs a moment to catch their breath. Suddenly a young woman gets on stage, doesn't bother to announce her name, and demands that the crowd take control of their own bodies: "Tell this to the ads in the subway, the billboards on the street: 'I'm beautiful just the fucking way I am!' " (I'm paraphrasing, but that's the gist of it.) The crowd is with her, but they seem mostly stunned. Who is she, after all, to feel so free? That's when it becomes clear that no one here has seen anything like Permanent Wave.
It is impossible to write this piece without mentioning riot grrrl, so let's get that out of the way now. Born equally out of Reagan and the misogyny of crowds at Reagan Youth shows in the 1980s, riot grrrl bands like Bratmobile, Bikini Kill, and Huggy Bear played loud and fast, addressing subjects like rape, domestic abuse, sexuality, and patriarchy head on and at the top of their lungs. They drew large numbers and critical acclaim, but eventually what all political movements fear is what happened to riot grrrl: It got trapped in amber. Albums like Bikini Kill's Pussy Whipped and Heavens to Betsy's Calculated were put high on a rock critical pedestal, venerated from a thousand feet away where Kathleen Hanna or Corin Tucker's lyrics couldn't hurt you any. Such is the fate of any rabble-rouser, but no one emerged to take riot grrrl's place.
Klein is used to being labeled a "riot-grrrl throwback," and you don't have to look far to see links. She openly admits that Sara Marcus' history of the movement, Girls to the Front, was the initial inspiration for Permanent Wave. And even on that night at 285 Kent, J.D. Samson's presence left the room a mere two steps away from the original scene. Samson shot to fame with Le Tigre, an electro-dance group fronted by Bikini Kill's Kathleen Hanna. Given the fact that we're in the midst of a "full-blown riot grrrl nostalgia trip," it'd be easy to assume that you can put Permanent Wave on the same Brooklyn retro shelf as manual typewriters and artisanal pickles.
"We don't call our movement riot grrrl because we're not riot grrrl bands," Klein told me over a beer at Brooklyn's Crown Vic. "Most of the girls in the group don't even play punk music." Same goes for the bands they book: As angry as MEN were, no one could associate its electroclash with the minimalist "up the punx" feel of riot grrrl in any musical sense. Klein, whose rise from unemployed English major to punk/indie scene mainstay has been documented by the New York Times, is herself a perfect example of how different styles of music can be embraced as political. After touring with the electric and wordy Titus Andronicus, she left to focus on two bands, the melodious Blue Star Band and minimalist psychedelic duo Hilly Eye, which sounds something like what Sonic Youth would have sounded like if it wanted to fill stadiums in 1979. All three groups are loud in their own way—you could find the riot grrrl in them if you were looking for it—but you could just as easily reference Lightning Bolt, Patti Smith, and a hundred other artists. And as culturally influential as the riot grrrl scene is, Klein and the rest of Permanent Wave choose not to look at it through rose-colored glasses. While every person I talked to for this article had clear reverence for riot grrrl acts, they were upfront that they didn't consider themselves part of the same scene.
A lot has changed since 1985. Reading Marcus' book, your heart just aches that it's all so pre-Internet. One of the main difficulties she presents—and really this was a problem for any activist group in the long-ago days before the advent of the personal computer—was how to get the message out without it being co-opted by the mainstream. That's hardly a problem now.
Yet while the Internet is a miraculously quick and easy form of communication, it's brought its own problems. Let's handle two here: first, the echo-chamber effect and, second, the destruction of local scenes. So, while Tumblr is "how the intersection of caring a lot about feminism and the anonymity of the Internet combines," according to Zoë Leverant, founder of Permanent Wave's first West Coast chapter in San Francisco, constant blogging and reblogging also leads to semantic infighting. "The number of people who actually give a fuck about what we're talking about is really small," Leverant admits. One thing that appealed to her about Permanent Wave is its listserv, which doubles, says Klein, as community for people "in other countries, people who live all over this country," who might not have a safe space for openly political and feminist discussion. "Or just no one else appreciates that great artist they found on YouTube."

That's what I thought too. Nothing left to do? Maybe if you're playing a single level-capped character, and if your only focus is dungeon and raid content. But that's a tiny fraction of the game. Why not level a toon to 70, freeze EXP, and run TBC heroics the way they were meant to be played? You could also collect mounts, build transmog sets, level naked, earn money, do Ulduar hard modes, multibox, or just hang out and chat. If none of that appeals to you, feel free to walk away for a while. It's a game, not a job.
Many of the complaints about Cataclysm are based on the notion that the devs pushed the expansion out before it was ready (unfinished story lines, only five zones, not enough content added in patches...) Do we really want to pressure them to do the same with Pandaria? I'd gladly wait until mid-2013 if it means Pandaria will be a huge continent with 1,500 quests, multiple leveling paths, a dozen new factions (some Horde or Alliance specific), seven brand new dungeons plus a few revamps (with more to be added in patches), meaningful world PvP objectives, and compelling storylines for both Alliance and Horde. There's plenty to keep me busy until then.

Montreal, QC (SportsNetwork.com) - Anthony Calvillo's illustrious career is over.
The Montreal Alouettes legendary quarterback, professional football's all-time passing yards leader, announced his retirement on Tuesday.
Calvillo, 41, missed Montreal's final 11 games last season, his 16th with the franchise, due to a concussion.
"My family has been privileged to be associated with Anthony over all these years," said Alouettes owner Bob Wetenhall. "We wish him well and are looking ahead to our continuing engagement."
A three-time recipient of the CFL's Most Outstanding Player Award, Calvillo won three Grey Cups with the Alouettes, who he joined as a free agent in 1998, and holds league records of 79,816 passing yards, 455 touchdown passes, 5,892 completions and 9,437 pass attempts.
"I will forever be thankful to our owner Bob Wetenhall and general manager Jim Popp for allowing this franchise to have all the success that we have had over the years," Calvillo said. "The city of Montreal and all the great Alouettes fans across the Province of Quebec have embraced me and that feeling is mutual."
The Los Angeles native started his CFL career with Las Vegas in 1994 before spending the next three years with Hamilton (1995-97).

Is donating to an educational childrens charity in a developed economy better then donating to help international childrens welfare charity?
I am trying to work out which charity to donate to and found myself thinking if it was better to donate to a local charity thats supports disadvantaged childrens learning, or is it better and more worth while to donate to an international aid charity such as world vision to help starving children that desperately need immediate help to be able to survive.

ATLANTA — Zep Inc., service provider of a wide range of cleaning and maintenance solutions for commercial, industrial, institutional and consumer end-markets, announced that Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer William A. Holl has resigned, according to Business Wire.
The decision follows recent decentralization efforts by the company which places more power in the hands of eight regional business leaders, the story stated.
John K. Morgan, chairman, president and CEO for Zep, said: "After many discussions about the new economic realities we face and the most effective structure for Zep in the future, Bill and I together concluded the company should continue to take action to reduce costs through the elimination of the COO role. Bill leaves a legacy of achievement and impressive results, including his role in the realignment of the operating structure as well as the company's successful transition to becoming an independent public company. Zep is extremely grateful for his service."
Holl will remain with the company until the transfer of his former responsibilities is complete, the story added.

Sean Blumette recorded his first win as the Brooke Bruins head coach with a 34-33 upset victory at Point Pleasant (4-1) on Friday night.
Brooke senior quarterback Alec Buchmelter ran for four touchdowns and threw another to freshman Thomas Cole. Buchmelter finished the game with 165 yards through the air, and 86 on the ground.
The long trip to Point Pleasant, and victory, made the long ride home more enjoyable, as the Bruins head into the bye week. They hit the road in two weeks for Parkersburg South.

Workshop to be held at Pacifica's Ladera Lane Campus.
Accommodations are available at Pacifica's Ladera Lane Campus.
Dream Tending—the unique approach to dreamwork developed by Dr. Stephen Aizenstat—regards dreams as present, living realities that can be engaged with and learned from in order to evoke both the inner scape of self and the dreamscape of the world. Through Dream Tending skills, we invite animation into practice and experience dreams in their living reality, and are able to access and realize the healing potential of dreams.
The Dream Tending methods developed by Dr. Aizenstat build on the methods of association, amplification, and animation pioneered by Freud and Jung, and expanded upon by James Hillman and Marion Woodman.
Participants in this comprehensive three-day workshop will build practical skills grounded in traditional and emerging methods of dreamwork:
Ongoing Dream Kivas
are an integral part of workshop activities. Participants will meet daily in four-person groups to practice their newly acquired skills. During these sessions, each member of the group will have the opportunity to work with their own dreams.
$200 admission reductions are available for first-time attendees who are keenly interested in dreamwork and one or more of Pacifica's graduate degree programs in depth psychology.
Stephen Aizenstat, Ph.D., is the Chancellor and Founding President of Pacifica Graduate Institute. He is a clinical psychologist, a marriage family therapist, and a credentialed public schools teacher and counselor. For more than 35 years he has explored the power of dreams through depth psychology and his own research. A major focus of his original research is a psychodynamic process of "tending the living image," particularly in the context of dreamwork. Aizenstat's book, Dream Tending, describes multiple new applications of
dreamwork. For more information, visit dreamtending.com.

If I start developing using the Open Source MapGuide version and then later decided to use the Enterprise version can i use the exact same code and setup?
Sure, just make sure you create the MGP file and you update your code to use the correct ini file. It is actually easier moving from OpenSource to Enterprise than the other way around.

As the wind continued to drop this afternoon, Kojiro Shiraishi sailed Open 60 Spirit of Yukoh across the finish line offshore Gexto, Bilbao, to complete Leg 3 of the VELUX 5 OCEANS race at 17:56 and 45 seconds European time (16:56 BST, 15:56 UTC).
Kojiro's tenacious transatlantic crossing ensured that the Japanese skipper rarely let the race leader, Bernard Stamm with Cheminées Poujoulat, more than 100 miles ahead during the 3,200 mile, 11 day "sprint" to Bilbao. For two yachts to finish within an hour of each other after traversing the North Atlantic is a monumental achievement and a testament to the skill and endurance of both skippers.
Kojiro was welcomed by a watery salute from local fire fighting tugs and hundreds of race fans set off flares from around the lighthouse at the end of the Puerto Deportivo breakwater while the Japanese skipper negotiated a route through the hundreds of spectator boats that have gathered to watch two of the sport's premier solo sailors celebrate the finish of an immense challenge.
During the entire circumnavigation of Velux 5 Oceans race, Bernard Stamm spent a total of 103 days, 22 hours and 10 minutes at sea, holding a 14 day lead over Kojiro who completed the course after 118 days, 1 hour and 42 minutes at sea.

Just because Fergie and Josh Duhamel got hitched a couple of months ago doesn't mean she's planning on making babies anytime soon.
"I'm not going to be because I'm going on tour," Fergie says about hitting the road with the Black Eyed Peas in support of their new upcoming album, The E.N.D. "I wouldn't want to do that to the poor child."
I caught up with Fergie yesterday as she toured Project Angel Food as part of her stint as M.A.C. Cosmetics' new Viva Glam girl. She also stars in a new ad campaign for the Viva Glam VI lipstick benefiting the 15-year-old M.A.C. AIDS Fund. "They really are doing their jobs and really getting to the people and that's what's important," she says of the Fund. "Their money is actually going to where it needs to go."
Read on for more Fergie and what she has to say about staying thin in Hollywood, will.i.am's close ties to Prez Obama and, of course, her work in the fight against AIDS.
Back at my office, we see so many paparazzi shots of you working out and running all the time. Are you training for a marathon or something?
At first I would just stay in and wouldn't go outside [because of the paparazzi], but I would start getting bored with the treadmill and I like to hike outside. I'm not going to let them rule my life…For me it's not about being thin. For me it's about being in shape and being healthy. I have to have stamina onstage or I lose my breath very easily.
So when is will.i.am getting the Peas to perform at the White House?
I would love to!
I thought Will was going to get a cabinet position with Obama.
I would joke around before they announced Joe Biden, "So Will, did you get your nomination for vice president yet?"
What's your big goal you want to achieve by working with Viva Glam and the M.A.C. AIDS Fund?
When AIDS first came on the scene, people were initially in a state of fright and everyone was so careful. What's important now in what I'm trying to do is to keep it on people's radar. People are careless. You're playing with fire. I try to bring that home. People don't have that scare anymore. We have to let people know that it is still fatal, there's no cure and that it is still real.

EA: 'Portable Games Hardware Now Outnumbers Consoles By 2-to-1'
Posted by gamer28, Aug 28, 2009 12:22
Electronic Arts officer Rich Hilleman has told a conference in the UK that portable gaming hardware now outnumbers consoles by 2 to 1.
Noting the success of the DS, PSP and iPhone, Hilleman slammed the price of producing console games has rocketed, with marketing costing up to three times more than the development of a title.
The EA chief also said although the firm makes $35 on a $60 video game, it needs to sell 1.1 million copes to break even. And with piracy and second sales at a high, new games have just six weeks to sell.
