Dr. Channing Heggie Tobias was born in Augusta, Georgia, on February 1, 1882. He received a B.A. and B.D. from Paine College and Drew Theological Seminary, respectively, in addition to an honorary Doctorate of Divinity from Gammon Theological Seminary. Dr. Channing lived a long and fruitful life including a marriage to Mary Pritchard in 1908. The Tobias's had two daughters. With Mary's death in 1949, Tobias remarried in 1951 to Eva Arnold.
Tobias's life was dedicated to improving the well-being of African Americans and society more generally as evidenced by his work in the YMCA and in various positions of public service. Before doing so, he taught biblical literature at Paine College from 1905 to 1911 and then entered the YMCA in 1911 becoming the student secretary of the International Committee of the YMCA for twelve years. From 1923 until his retirement in 1953, Tobias served in numerous leadership positions within the YMCA and spent much of his time and effort trying to improve the lives and opportunities for African Americans.
On the public service front, Tobias was appointed by President Truman to the Committee on Civil Rights. Tobias became a member of the NAACP's board of trustees and was eventually elected the chairman of the NAACP in 1953. Eleanor Roosevelt related the following to Ebony magazine about his masterful handling of a situation in 1951 as the alternate U.S. representative to the United Nations. "The Russian delegate said, 'Mr. Tobias, you should not be here telling us about our treatment of spies. You should be telling us about how your people are treated in the United States.' He named every state in the Union, telling of its laws. Then he mentioned Georgia. Dr. Tobias in his calm, learned way said: 'I was born in the state of Georgia which has such bad laws. But today I represent my entire country in the United Nations. I have never said that we do not have states with bad laws, nor that we do not have states with good laws which are not enforced. I do say that we have the opportunity to move forward and so I am proud to represent my country—all 48 states.' Then Dr. Tobias went back to his original point, but there was dead silence from the Russians. It was a most eloquent handling of what could have been an embarrassing situation. If I had argued the point it would not have had half the effect it had coming from him."
Tobias died on November 5, 1961 after a lengthy illness. His papers are housed at the Kautz Family YMCA Archives at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

The Sioux and Cheyenne lost between 60-100 men whom they removed following the battle. In 1999, the National Park Service started to place red granite markers at sites where Indians were known to have fallen in an attempt to bring some balance to the scene – the Sioux and Cheyenne are American citizens, after all, and their views of the battle are often submerged. At that, there is nowhere near even 60 markers placed, but a slightly better mental picture of the battle does emerge.

- National/State Park
In 1890, marble markers were placed on the battlefield at sites where soldiers fell. Some 246 markers were placed in the area where Custer's battalion fought and two were set atop the Reno-Benteen Hill – 52 died there and in the valley fight preceding it. Of the men on that hill, 90% of the fallen were identified. Near the Last Stand Hill, of the 210 men whom were cut down, only 26% - 56 men – were recognizable – 27 were identified out of the forty on Last Stand Hill. Sixteen officers were killed – two were doctors – and of these twelve plus one doctor were with Custer. All of the officers were identified except for lieutenants Harrington, Sturgis and maybe Porter. Six civilians and scouts fell – four with Custer – and all of these individuals were identified.
So, there are too many headstones for the number of men with Custer – 246 for 210 men. Captain Owen Sweet, the officer charged with placing the headstones, noted that on many parts of the battlefield men "fell by twos or as comrades in battle". Forty-three pairs have been placed scattered over the field. One alternate theory is that burial and reburial – 1877 and 1879 – left indentations on each side of the deceased. In 1890, each indentation was counted as fallen soldier and two markers were placed instead of just one.
The battle was not significant in terms of casualties when compared to the awful bloodletting of the American Civil war, but 268 men did die here, amounting to just over one percent of the authorized army strength of 26,312. Also, during the Indian Wars, the army lost 1128 men in the entire West, so a quarter of the entire loss was here at Little Bighorn. The placement of the marble markers on the battlefield makes these losses so much more real and poignant, as well as helps clarify some of the actions that occurred here.

What You Can Expect
Leaving Honolulu, drive past the ritzy Kahala area en route to the Amelia Earhart Lookout, named in honor of the famous aviator who in 1935 completed the first successful solo flight from Honolulu to the continental US, landing in California. Take in panoramic views of the 350-acre (142-hectare) volcanic crater that forms Diamond Head and watch surfers catching waves in the ocean below.
Down the road, stop at the lookout over Hanauma Bay, a marine nature reserve known for calm clear waters with excellent snorkeling. Then stop for a look at the Halona Blowhole and hope to see a geyser-like spray of water rocket into the air.
Travel into the hills to reach the Nu'uanu Pali lookout where you are treated to sweeping views of Kanehoe Bay and Kailua Bay. Continue to Byodo-In Temple, a smaller-scale replica of a 950-year-old Buddhist temple in Uji, Japan. The stunning site, which features ornate temple buildings with a golden Buddha statue that stands more than nine feet (three meters) tall, is tucked into the foothills of the Ko'olau Mountains.
Back on the road, enjoy great views of Mokoli'l Island (Chinaman's Hat), Kahana Bay and the beaches along the North Shore of Oahu. Visit Sunset Beach and Waimea Bay, made famous in the 1960s when big-wave surfing took hold here. In the winter, the beaches still draw surfers from around the world.
Head inland to the Dole Plantation, where you have a quick stop to view lush tropical gardens, take a quick break and browse the gift shop.
During the day, take a 1-hour break to purchase lunch at a sit-down restaurant. Your tour ends with drop off at your hotel in the evening.

Your local movers in Waukesha, WI
Allied Van Lines: The Best of Waukesha Moving Companies
Located just 20 miles east of Milwaukee near Lake Michigan, Waukesha is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Great Lakes region and a charming place to call home. The city has a unique history, loads of community togetherness and an ideal location that's perfect for family-friendly activities.
Waukesha enjoys a cost of living that's nearly identical to the U.S. average, according to City-Data, so many new residents should be able to live in the city comfortably and affordably. Both the median household income and the population climbed in the past decade, according to the source, so Waukesha is becoming a thriving and exciting place to be. According to a 2012 U.S. Census estimate, the city is home to more than 70,900 residents. Waukesha was also placed on CNN Money's list of the Best Places to Live in 2012.
Waukesha boasts several home-grown galleries and shops, including Almont Gallery and Otto's Fine Art Academy. There are also several unique museums in town, including the Clark House Museum, which houses several relics from Waukesha's earliest days and the East Troy Electric Railroad, which works to preserve 19th and 20th century innovations in railroad technology. For star-gazers, look no further than the Charles Z. Horwitz Planetarium-Retzer Nature Center, which allows for a thorough viewing of the night sky - a perfect attraction for kids.
Wisconsin is known for its stunning glacier-carved terrain that's excellent for outdoor recreation, and Waukesha certainly offers plenty when it comes to the great outdoors. You can take a boat out on Big Muskego Lake for a day of fishing, enjoy swimming, boat launching and water skiing at Idle Isle or simply take a walk or play some tennis at Bostrom Memorial Park.

The care that they displayed and the professionalism of the driver and the crew and everyone that was involved.
When they were loading our goods I asked them to stage things in the garage so they would not have to keep opening the door. They did not do that. The temperature in the house dropped 30 degrees. I timed them and they come in the house once every 10 minutes. I feel like this could have been avoided if they had staged things in the garage like I asked.
The people and their personalities, the treatment of all my stuff, and their efficiency influenced my rating.
The move was smooth. Everything was coordinated well. The driver was very accommodating about the delivery times.
Everyone was very polite and courteous. They also did their job and had good communication. My items were delivered a week late due to the weather.
They were good guys and they were polite, I did have a couple broken fishing poles, but stuff happens.
1 of the packers from the local agents crew complained about things, packed a watch on my nightstandw/out asking me about it & I haven't found the watch yet but I am not done unpacking. The new house that we moved into had a refrigerator that was left by the previous owner and the movers moved the refrigerator to the garage for me they were very nice about it.
Allied came through on all their promises. Both the driver and coordinator communicated well throughout the move.
The care that they displayed and the professionalism of the driver and the crew and everyone that was involved.
The communication from all parties was professional, good attitude, polite, and pleasant. It was a good experience. I had an excellent experience with the move. I arranged for a third party to take apart my pool table and put it back together, it was done safely.
The salesman was pleasant and professional. The quote was neat and clear what the charges were. I had a couple of missing items and some chips on some high end pieces. Most items were in great shape. I received 3 quotes and none was as professional as Allied. The 2nd I received a vague quote. The other company gave us a high quote.

Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear about your allergy, I can imagine how frustrating that must be. As far as I know all imitation crab contains crab extract for flavor. What I would recommend is trying some great new fish that is not shell fish. My favorites are salmon, bluefish, swordfish, trout, perch, and so many more. Canned salmon is wonderfully inexpensive and can be made into cakes very similar to crab (lemon, mayo, bread crumbs, seasoning, etc.)
I hope that's helpful!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- More than 200 people came out to Bon Air Library on Tuesday night, Sept. 24, to oppose a so called social club named Fringe Elements. Its board of directors maintains it's a social club that is an asset to the community.
"We do classes on everything from finding out what your gender identity is and how to deal with that, as well as how to deal with yourself and the community as it changes and its expression of sexual identity changes," Jacki Guilford said.
They are currently leasing a space on Buechel Avenue where their club meets mostly after 6 p.m., but they are facing a zoning violation. The property is not zoned for commercial business. The operators describe their club as a community center, but neighbors in the area call it a sex club. Their website allegedly promotes what some would call explicit events. A recent one, in part, was titled "Clothes Get in the Way."
One resident brought it up during the meeting referring to the rest of the title, "A naked intimate performance."
"He was naked," Assistant Director Kenny Evans said.
He said that they are not an adult entertainment establishment and do not offer or engage in sex.
Residents aren't buying it and will be voicing their concerns throughout the re-zoning process. The desired change still needs to be considered by the Board of Zoning Adjustment. The process could take months.

NORRISTOWN – Having lost his appeal, an Upper Pottsgrove man is headed to jail next month for burglarizing the Pottstown home of a couple he met on a swingers website.
Wayne Matthew Rafferty, 30, of Mauger's Mill Road, who was convicted of burglary-related charges after a nonjury trial in October 2010 and sentenced to jail, was back in Montgomery County Court on Wednesday where he learned he must begin serving his sentence after his appeal was denied by the Pennsylvania Superior Court last week.
"We took this case to trial because we had the evidence and I'm happy that the Superior Court affirmed the verdict," said Assistant District Attorney Alec O'Neill. "Now, it's only appropriate he serve the sentence for the crime he committed."
Judge Thomas P. Rogers sentenced Rafferty to six-to-23-months in the county jail, to be followed by three years' probation, in connection with the April 2009 break-in at the North Price Street home of his onetime swingers' friends. Rafferty, who had been free on bail pending the appeal of his conviction, must report to jail on Sept. 3 to begin serving the sentence.
The judge said Rafferty must serve the first 30 days of the sentence behind bars, with the remainder of the sentence to be served under house arrest. That means Rafferty will be permitted to leave his home only for court-approved purposes.
The judge further ordered Rafferty to have no contact with the victims and to complete any counseling that may be recommended by probation officials.
Rogers, who convicted Rafferty of the charges during the 2010 nonjury trial, ordered Rafferty to pay $2,791 in restitution to the victims.
At the time of the trial, O'Neill alleged Rafferty committed the crime because he wanted to hurt the victims, not in a financial sense, but in an emotional sense, claiming Rafferty's crime wasn't a typical burglary that targets expensive items but instead was one that targeted items that had sentimental value.
The victims reported that among the items taken during the burglary were two laptop computers, "which include nude pictures of all four adults," bras and underwear belonging to the victims, and gifts that had been exchanged between the couples, including 15 to 20 bottles of wine, various sex toys, a crepe maker and photographs, court papers indicate.
An investigation of Rafferty began on April 25, 2009, when a tenant of the North Price Street home notified borough police that she returned home after work and found it had been ransacked. The owners of the home, a husband and wife, were on vacation at the time of the break-in, court papers indicate.
"The officers observed almost all the kitchen cabinets open, an empty wine rack, numerous empty jewelry boxes and pictures strewn on the floor, a door to the combination safe open, and various dresser drawers and nightstand drawers open in the master bedroom," Pottstown Police Officer Frank Glaser wrote in the arrest affidavit.
When the husband and wife victims returned home they told police they suspected Rafferty had something to do with the burglary, court papers indicate.
The victims reported that in September 2006, "they began a consensual adult sexual relationship with Wayne Rafferty and his wife" and communicated via a swinger's website, according to the criminal complaint.
"(The victims) reported as the relationship evolved, Wayne was provided with the combination to their safe," Glaser alleged, adding the information was provided to Rafferty so that he could retrieve "important papers" in the event something happened to the victims.
However, by July 2008, the victims' relationship with Rafferty "had become strained," police said. The victims told police that Rafferty had become "possessive and jealous" and upset about the victims speaking with other couples.
On the morning of July 22, 2008, the victims found Rafferty standing in their kitchen, according to court papers. One of the victims sent an email to Rafferty and Rafferty's wife the same day, "dissolving the relationship" and advising Rafferty and his wife to not contact the victims in the future, according to the arrest affidavit....

Bob Bashara's mistress frequently tried to end their relationship because of his constant lying but time and time couldn't resist his aggressive pursuits, she testified Thursday.
Rachel Gillett and other witnesses also testified on the fourth day of Bashara's preliminary examination for his wife's murder about the couple's alternative lifestyle — BDSM, bondage, domination, sadomasochism. Bashara was "Master Bob" and she was his slave, sometimes referred to as "Bella" and Bashara's "Little Princess."
"In the BDSM community, one partner is normally dominant and one submissive," she said. "I'm extremely passive, and Bob is extremely dominant."
Bashara told a second woman, Janet Leehmann of Oregon, who Bashara was pursuing for a third member of their relationship, that he and Gillett engaged in "breath play," nearly every day and Gillett "loves it."
But during a weekend visit to Leehmann about 10 days before the murder, he choked Leehmann from behind, and she said she "passed out cold," indicating she didn't like it. She said she was no longer interested in a relationship.
The hearing in 36th District Court, held in the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice in Detroit, will determine whether there is enough evidence to proceed with a murder trial in Wayne County Circuit Court in the same building.
The building was shut down early Wednesday afternoon due to a power outage and was operating on a generator, with some of the floors closed.
Bashara, 55, is accused of murdering and conspiring to murder his wife, Jane, 56, a Mount Clemens native, in the garage of their Grosse Pointe Park home Jan 24, 2012. Her body was found the next day in her SUV parked in an east-side Detroit alley.
Joe Gentz, 49, formerly of St. Clair Shores, has testified that he strangled Jane Bashara under the threat of and promise of payment from Bashara. He pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and is serving 17 to 28 years in prison, agreeing to testify against Bashara.
After a break from Gillett's testimony Thursday morning, Judge Kenneth King admonished Bashara and Gillett for signaling to each other, both on Wednesday and Thursday.
"I witnessed some non-verbal communication between the defendant and the witness, putting his hand over his heart" on Wednesday, King said. "There will be no such thing tolerated. If I find it necessary, I will have Mr. Bashara removed from the courtroom."
Bashara started to explain to the judge, "I have a skin rash on my chest," when his attorney, Mark Procida, nodded and tapped Bashara's arm.
While cross-examining Gillett, defense attorney Nancy Shell derided Gillett for her inability to end the relationship despite his many lies, such as saying his wife was dead and then they were separated, and claiming their divorce was final, as well as trying to pursue other women.
She complained that while she exposed him to her friends and family, he kept he shielded away from his family and friends.
"I'm too soft, too loving to be the other woman," she told him.
But after each episode, he wooed her hard, sending her flowers, buying her lunch and promising he had a "plan" to spend the rest of his life with her.
Shell said, "You didn't realize you were being strung along by Mr. Bashara?"
"Yes, I did," Gillett answered.
Gillett read many emails, mostly filled with his promises and love declarations....

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A southwest Missouri man was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison Wednesday for holding a young woman captive as a sex slave for six years.
Edward Bagley initially faced 11 federal charges accusing him of enticing an underage girl to be his sex slave, torturing and mutilating her, and allowing others to watch and participate in the torture sessions. In January, he pleaded guilty to one count of using an interstate facility to entice a minor into illegal sexual conduct.
Bagley agreed to the 20-year prison sentence as part of his plea arrangement — a deal his victim says will spare her from having to relive her ordeal in public.
"Even though Ed pleaded guilty, he still hasn't told the truth," the woman said in court, reading from a statement.
Prosecutors said Bagley, 46, and his wife, Marilyn, recruited the woman to live with them in their rural Lebanon, Mo., trailer in late 2002 and groomed her to become Bagley's sex slave. The Bagleys have insisted he didn't have sex with her until she turned 18 and that the often-extreme sex acts were consensual, but prosecutors believe it started years before that and was forced on the woman.
"I had no idea he was going to make it an every-single-night thing," the victim said in court as she gave her statement. "It started bad and got worse and worse."
She described how the Bagleys initially showed her images and videos of people practicing bondage, dominance, sadism and masochism — or BDSM — and told her it was fun. She signed a contract on her 18th birthday that Bagley said made her his sex slave for life.
As part of his sentence, Bagley also agreed to pay about $123,000 toward future counseling and medical care for the woman, who's now 27. Attorneys for Bagley declined to comment after his sentencing Wednesday.
The case came to light in early 2009 when the woman, then 23, was hospitalized after what prosecutors said was a torture session. Then-U.S. Attorney Beth Phillips called the case one of "the most horrific ever prosecuted in this district."
Two other men were sentenced in the case Wednesday — Bradley Cook and Dennis Henry. Marilyn Bagley and another two defendants — Michael Stokes and James Noel — will be sentenced Thursday.
Cook, 34, of the St. Louis suburb of Kirkwood received a 20-year sentence and must pay $123,000 in restitution. He pleaded guilty in December 2011 to one count of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion.
Henry, 53, former postmaster in Nevada, Mo., pleaded guilty in March 2011 to participating in a sex-trafficking conspiracy and transporting the victim across state lines for sexual activity. Of the six defendants, he is the only one whose plea deal didn't specify a prison sentence. He was sentenced to 10 years, $123,000 in restitution and lifetime supervision after he's released.
Marilyn Bagley along with Stokes, 65, of Lebanon and Noel, 47, of Springfield each pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion. Marilyn Bagley, 48, is to receive probation and Stokes and Noel five years each.
The victim called Cook the most deviant of all the men who came to Bagley's trailer for torture sessions. Prosecutors say Cook watched her being whipped, locked in a dog cage, tied up and shocked with multiple electrical devices.
The woman said in court that she will never forget "how he laughed while I suffered. Laughed while I cried and begged. Brad Cook is evil. I can still hear his laughter."
As part of Cook's plea deal, charges accusing him of trying to hire someone to kill the woman while he was in federal custody in Leavenworth, Kan., in the case were dropped.
Prosecutors also alleged in court documents that Cook tried to hire a hit man to kill Assistant U.S. Attorney Cynthia Cordes, but no charges were filed. As part of his sentence, Cook is not to have contact — or encourage others to have contact — with the victim or anyone involved with investigating and prosecuting his case.

Time after time, Bob Bashara was caught in lies.
He didn't tell the truth about having a gun. He lied about a golf outing to Florida. And he never confessed about an affair when asked by his family.
That's what witnesses, who testified Monday during the first day of Bashara's preliminary examination at the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice, said about the man accused of arranging his wife's killing.
His cousin, Stephanie Samuel, testified she asked Bashara about a mistress after reports surfaced in the news media.
"Are you having an affair?" she said. "He said, 'No.' "
She asked who the person was, and Bashara replied: "She's a friend," Samuel said.
Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Lisa Lindsey said Bashara's former mistress, as well as his lifestyle in the BDSM lifestyle — bondage, discipline, sadomasochism — were motives for the killing of Jane Bashara of Grosse Pointe Park, who was found strangled in her SUV in January 2012.
Bashara, who wore green jail garb to court, sat mostly expressionless at the defense table. He was charged earlier this year with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, solicitation to commit murder, suborning of perjury during a capital trial, witness intimidation and obstruction of justice.
His attorneys, Mark Procida and René Cooper, chose not to cross-examine any of the witnesses who took the stand Monday, including Bashara's mother, Nancy Bashara, and his wife's best friend. The defense team did object to the relevance of questions regarding his involvement in the BDSM lifestyle.
Robert Godard Jr. testified that Bashara had been with women other than his wife, but that one woman — Rachel Gillett — won his heart, and the pair planned to move in together.
"They were going to buy a home together and make a life together," Godard said Bashara told him.
Bob and Jane Bashara's marriage was rocky and ending it had been brought up once their children were out of school, according to Monday's testimony.
Godard testified that the couple's relationship was strained because she would not participate in the BDSM lifestyle. ...

When Iranian American anthropologist Pardis Mahdavi first visited Tehran in the summer of 2000, she expected to encounter the Iran she grew up imagining. Her family remembered violence and extremism, and these were the images that stuck: "women clad in black chadors, wailing and whipping themselves," "black bearded men with heavy hearts and souls," arranged marriages, and the fierceness of the "morality police." But while she encountered this repressed side of Iran, she also heard stories of and witnessed signs of what some friends and informants called enghelab-e-jensi or enghelab-e-farangi, a sexual or sociocultural revolution. Her interest in how an "insatiable hunger for change, progress, cosmopolitanism, and modernity" was being linked to sex by young Tehranians sparked the beginning of seven years of anthropological study.
During repeated visits, Mahdavi found that despite the strict moral policies of the Islamic Republic, young Iranians were listening to music, dancing, drinking alcohol, and socializing in new ways. Western dress and makeup were ubiquitous. She attended parties where famous DJs played techno music, Absolut vodka and Tanqueray gin were served, and female guests mingled with "western guys." Although house parties were common among the middle and upper-middle classes, lower-class youth threw parties in abandoned warehouses or at secluded outdoor locations, serving homemade liquor and playing music on "boom boxes" or car stereos. Young Iranians also indulged in premarital and extramarital sexual escapades. As a twenty-three-year-old man explained: "In Iran, all things related to sex had a door, a closed one. Now we, this generation, are opening them one by one. Masturbation? Open it. Teenage sexual feelings? Open that door. Pregnancy outside of marriage? Open it. Now the youth are trying to figure out what to do with all these opening doors." Understandably, young people experience confusion in the face of competing ideals and desires—traditional expectations versus contemporary temptations—and the stakes of personal decisions remain high. In 2004, despite nationwide attention to the public execution of a seventeen-year-old girl suspected of having premarital sex, Mahdavi nonetheless found many young women willing to lose their virginity in order to participate in the changing sexual culture.
Like youth in other countries who lack private spaces to retreat to, some Iranian youth reported having sex at parties and in cars (which sometimes allowed them to escape the morality police) out of necessity. But some also purposely sought group sex. Shomal, in northern Iran, had a reputation as a popular destination for these sexual explorations. One informant told Mahdavi that young men and women "go there, deep in the jungle, and have lots of sex, with lots of people; it's really something to see. I love it." Another young man said: "Have I ever had group sex? Well, yes, with a few women at a time, but who hasn't done that? But I've watched really elaborate orgies too." He had observed "a big group orgy in Shomal," after being convinced to attend by a girl he knew.
Although Mahdavi did not visit Shomal, she attended other sex parties in Iran. One evening, she accompanied her friend Babak to a party held in a huge garden with beautiful hanging trees. "Welcome to the jungle," a young man said as he greeted her. After stripping off her Islamic dress, including her head scarf and manto, she followed the men further into what felt like "the hanging gardens of Babylon." Babak squeezed her arm and whispered into her ear, "Take a deep breath, Pardis." As they walked closer to the swimming pool, she noticed it had been drained of water. Voices drifted up from the bottom of the pool. With surprise, she realized that "a full-blown orgy was taking place." As Babak took off his shirt and "started to wade into the group of young people," Mahdavi perched herself on the diving board, which seemed like a safe place to observe: "I continued to watch as bodies moved from one trio to another. A group of five men and women huddled together below me. I couldn't tell who was kissing whom, and I couldn't see how much oral or penetrative sex was taking place, but it seemed that most of the people were completely naked, and from the movements I could see, it looked as though half were having some kind of sex."
Another sex party Mahdavi attended was held at a garden estate outside of Tehran, hosted by a young woman whose parents had gone on religious pilgrimage to Mecca. Upon arrival at the property, she heard techno music coming from a bathhouse. She followed her friends inside. When her eyes adjusted to the dim lighting, she saw "forty or so young people present, all naked or in undergarments, kissing, touching, dancing, and some having oral, anal, and vaginal sex." She watched groups of men and women "engaging in sexual acts with both genders," until she felt faint from the heat. She began searching for the friends she had arrived with, who had disappeared into the steam. The young woman was "kissing and being kissed by three men." Mahdavi was unable to find the man who'd driven them; later, she learned that he had been in a back room procuring Ecstasy.
When talking about their weekend adventures, some of Mahdavi's informants focused on the recreational aspect of the parties: "[There is] alcohol, there is sex, there is dancing, there is—it's just fun! It's what we do for fun!" Others viewed the parties as a representation of "all things Western," a way of gaining status and claiming a cosmopolitan identity; some also expressed ideas about sex as freedom that harked back to ideas underlying the sexual revolution in the United States. Still others claimed parties offered escape and "eased the pain" of living in Iran. As one man said, "Sex is the main thing here; it's our drug, it's what makes our lives bearable, that's what makes parties so necessary." "If we don't live like this, we cannot exist in the Islamic Republic," a woman declared. "We hate our government, despise our families, and our husbands make us sick. If we don't look fabulous, smile, laugh, and dance, well then we might as well just go and die."
But the new sexual culture in Iran, Mahdavi believes, is not simply an embrace of Western consumerism and morality nor merely an escapist hedonism, a "last resort." Urban young adults, the focus of Mahdavi's inquiry, made up about two-thirds of Iran's population; they were mobile, highly educated, underemployed, and dissatisfied with the political regime at the time. Some were directly involved in politics. Many used the Internet to make connections, blog about their frustrations, and peer into youth cultures elsewhere around the world. Willingly taking risks with their social and sexual behavior, as these Iranian young people were doing, was viewed as a step toward social and political reform—not just a means of escape and excitement. After all, the consequences of partying in Tehran were different from in Los Angeles, despite similarities in flashy dress, electronic music, and group sex. Iranian youth had "restricted access to social freedoms, education, and resources (such as contraceptives or other harm-reduction materials)" that might minimize the risk of some of their behaviors. If caught, the punishments many young people would receive from their parents would likely be harsh. The punishments meted out by the morality police could be harsher. If caught drinking, for example, youth could be detained and sentenced to up to seventy lashes. Premarital sex could be punished by imprisonment and lashings; unmarried men and women caught in a car together could receive up to eighty-four lashings each. Although physical punishment has decreased in recent years, Mahdavi notes, young people are still detained and harassed by the morality police.
Yet stories of being apprehended and arrested by the morality police were sometimes told with pride; occasionally, even parents were pleased that their children stood up for their beliefs. Some young adults courted run-ins with the morality police in the name of activism, boredom, or both. One couple caught having sex at a party were arrested and forced to marry. When Mahdavi talked with the twenty-two-year old woman involved, the woman explained that she and her new husband were trying to annul the marriage. Despite her ruined reputation, however, the young woman mused that her experience was "almost worth it": "The sex was great, and the excitement and adventure of doing what we know we aren't supposed to be doing, then being caught! Well, and it makes a great story."
Mahdavi's informants claimed that they were living the social and sexual changes they desired, reminding her that their "revolution was not about momentary acts" but was "a way of life." This way of life included social gatherings and behavior that "could be viewed as hedonistic" but were also "a necessary part of constructing a world over which they had control, a world they could live in rather than in the world of the Islamists, who would have them stay home and obey." As another young woman said before attending a sex party:
It's all about laj bazi (playful rebellion). Here, when we go to parties, of course our bones are shaking, but we go with shaking bones. And I'm telling you, we are scared. Everyone is. No matter what they tell you, they are scared, from the moment they leave their homes; and every time the doorbell rings, delet mirize (your heart sinks). Could it be? You ask yourself. Could it be them? It's scary. But you know, we have to do something. Something to get back at them, something to remind ourselves, Hey, we are alive! Hey, we have a say in our lives! ...

A police officer who was a bit skeptical of the idea of consent to participate in BDSM activities told me, "I don't understand how one day it is okay, and the next day it is not; I mean, when collecting evidence from a person who has made the accusation of domestic violence, pictures are often taken of the physical evidence: bruises, cuts and other injuries. What makes this bruise—the one that is said to be evidence of assault—different from that bruise—the one that is said to have been the result of consensual activities?"
I asked him to imagine this:
A person with a mask on is plunging a sharp blade into your chest. What is happening to you?
A criminal is assaulting you with a deadly weapon—It's an attempt to end your life!
A physician is making their first incision to perform open heart surgery—It's an attempt to save your life!
Now, how do you differentiate between the scars?
How do practitioners of BDSM/Leather/Kink lifestyles differentiate between engaging in consensual power/control dynamics in their relationships and abuse? And when it is abuse, do they feel their complaints are understood and taken seriously by service providers? These are two questions I will address in a ground breaking research project on "Intimate Partner Abuse Among Practitioners of BDSM/Leather/Kink Lifestyles." By placing a spotlight on the experiences and perceptions of individuals who have ever sought help in dealing with an abusive power exchange relationship, or who wanted to seek help, but didn't, it may be possible to determine if kinky people comprise an underserved population. This research aims to promote greater understanding of BDSM/Leather/Kink lifestyles in order to improve of the quality of information, responses and interventions provided by outreach educators and service providers to this population.
I am grateful to the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom for their support.
Invitation to Participate in a Needs Assessment Survey on Intimate Partner Abuse Among Practitioners of BDSM/Leather/Kink Lifestyle
All interested individuals who are involved in BDSM/Leather/Kink lifestyles are invited to participate in a survey about intimate partner abuse. The purpose of this survey is to gather information regarding the quality of experiences had by those who sought help from domestic violence service providers, or those who wanted to seek help, but did not do so. The overall goal is to help service providers and outreach educators improve the quality of information, responses and interventions regarding the unique needs and experiences of individuals who live a BDSM, Leather or kinky lifestyle.
You are invited to take the survey whether or not you have been involved in an abusive relationship because the survey will collect basic demographic information about those who engage in BDSM, Leather and/or kink, as well.
The survey link is available here: https://www.psychdata.com/s.asp?SID=155554
The survey will take approximately 25-35 minutes to complete.
Please respond no later than January 31, 2014.
Your participation is voluntary. All responses are anonymous. However, there is potential risk of loss of confidentiality in all email, downloading and internet transactions. The final results of this study will be used for research and may also be published in a summary format in a peer-reviewed journal.
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Elizabeth Fawcett, Ph.D., M.P.H., at
This study has been reviewed according to accepted Institutional Review Board (IRB) procedures for research involving human subjects, and approved. If you have questions about the rights of research participants or the way this study is being conducted, you may contact Texas Woman's University Office of Research and Sponsored Programs at 940-898-3378 or via email at

Having been officially unveiled at Mobile World Congress last month, HTC's first foray into the tablet market is reported as heading for a May release on the Three network with BlackBerry's PlayBook, first unveiled back in September set to follow the Flyer with a June arrival.
Both featuring a 7-inch form factor the Flyer will launch running Google's Android 2.4 operating system, Gingerbread whilst the PlayBook runs the new QNX OS.

Experienced people have wisdom. I'm not more stupid than when I was a bright eyed 20 year old working on mainframes, dreaming of the computer power we'd some day have. I've written thousands of lines of code this week.
Computing, however, is getting a whole lot more stupid than it was then. It was struggling to get better. Now it's not. This is a recent phenomenon, and not an inevitable product of a "generation gap".
When Engineers (geeks) are in charge, things get better. When Marketing people (jocks) are in charge, we suffer. It has always been and it will always be. Scott Adams has it right.
So back in the 80s pretty much all PCs came with BASIC included. Even the cheap/crappy ones. And some popular programs in the 90s had integrated scripting. This lowered the barrier to entry to becoming a developer. These appliance-like devices that are popular these days put harsh restrictions on programs that can be used to create other programs, so it's not even that programming is less accessible, it's becoming prohibited completely.
This could sound great in the sense that less people doing development = more demand for development, supply/demand, good for developers. But, at the same time computer science is such a new field and there so much left to do, as you mentioned, to create the "Star Trek" future. We all actually suffer if people are discouraged from getting into computer science. Plus, there are entire fields that probably aren't investigated as much as they should be, with less scientists and technologists in general, society as a whole will tend to increase economic priorities on software that does not progress the human condition, to the point that even such an idea, as you observed, becomes niche.
