"To those who know only privilege, equality feels like oppression"
Whenever there is an attack upon a non white person - the Racist and Racism mantra is trotted out but after 50 years of immigration in to the UK, isnt it time we revisted the very assumptions behind the whole "Racism" ideology or "Race" industry even?
The questions which we, as an immigrant minority and a vulnerable religious minority, faced with institutional anti-Hindu prejudice and the perception of a rising level of white-supremacist hate speech, we will be exploring over the coming months will include:-
We will have input from Jane Elliot, one of the USA's most potent speakers on the subject of White Suporemacy and Racism and other thought leaders.
In the meantime...
An African American friend called Brian Crooks, wrote the following account which makes sobering reading.
If we can have video evidence that an officer pulled up, jumped out of his car, shot a 12-year-old to death less than 2 seconds after arriving on the scene, administered no first aid, tackled and hand cuffed the boy's sister when she arrived on the scene, and then falsified a police report to say that the boy pointed a gun at him and that he only shot when the boy refused several orders to drop his weapon and STILL not get an indictment, why should we think that an officer who shoots a Black man who had a gun in his pocket, or a Black man who had a concealed weapon on him, will face a trial?
Is discrimination against non-whites a hidden but significant problem herein the UK? Here's Brians full article, its a lot to read but very much worth it.
So, over the last few days I've done a lot of linking and reposting, but I haven't really done a lot of speaking about my personal experience to explain where I'm coming from. Please, bear with me for a few minutes. Hopefully, it'll help you understand why I feel the way I do about what's been going on.
The first time I was acutely aware of my Blackness, I was probably 6 or 7 years old. Like, before then obviously I knew I was Black, but I hadn't really had it put in my face like this until I was about 6 or 7. I used to go to daycare back then, and we went on a field trip to a water park one time. One of the other boys from the daycare came up to me and told me he was surprised I was going on the trip because his dad told him all colored people were afraid of the water since we sink to the bottom. He didn't know he was being offensive. He was just curious why someone who would sink to the bottom would want to go to a water park.
I can remember being in elementary school thinking maybe I was unable to see what was really going on. I, like many other Black people in my generation, was the only Black kid in my class. I think the first time I actually had class with another Black kid was when I was in 5th grade. I'd need to go back and look at my class pictures to be sure, but for sure there were never, like, 6 or 7 of us in one class. So anyway, in elementary school, right around the same time I was told that colored people couldn't swim, I remember wondering whether I saw the same stuff the White kids saw. I seriously remember wondering whether I just THOUGHT I was sitting quietly while in reality I was running around going crazy and being disruptive. I don't really know why I wondered that. I'd picked up on some kinds of cues in pop culture and stuff, I guess, but I really did think that there was a chance that the White kids were just being polite not to react to me if I was jumping on their desks and throwing stuff without being able to see it myself.
In elementary school, I was in the gifted program. I've never been any good at math or science, but I was a really creative kid who loved history and telling stories. In third grade, the gifted program focused on the middle ages. I was in heaven. I loved learning about knights and castles and all that stuff. We had a group project to do sometime that year, where we had to give a short speech about something we'd learned during the year. All of the groups broke off to divvy up the work when my teacher came over to my group. Wouldn't it be "easier" and more fun for me if my group did our presentation as a rap? I'm eight years old. I have no history writing any kind of music, much less a full 3 or 4 minutes of rap verses for me and my teammates. But, I tried. The other kids just expected it to be natural for me. They looked at me like, "What do you mean you don't know how to rap?" We ended up just doing it as a regular presentation like everybody else, and afterward my teacher came up to me and said, "I thought you guys were going to rap? I was looking forward to MC Brian." Again, she didn't know that she was making a racially-insensitive statement. Why would she? It's not like she'd had deep conversation about how Black people feel about their Blackness, or the way Black people internalized the way White people feel about our Blackness.
From elementary school through middle school, I can't remember how many times the White kids asked if they could touch my hair. I'm not kidding when I say it happened pretty much once a week at least. At first, it didn't bother me. But eventually I felt like an exhibit in a petting zoo. And I didn't have the vocabulary to explain to them that it was really weird that they kept asking to touch my hair all the time. See, I was a pretty shy kid. I was the only Black one, I was overweight, and I'd moved three times before I turned 10. So, rather than tell the White kids that no, they couldn't rummage through my hair, I just said yes and sat there quietly while they marveled at how my hair felt.
My least favorite time of the year, every year, was February. Black History Month. Being the only Black kid in the class, I was the designated reader for the entire month. When it came time to read from our history books about slavery and the Triangle Trade Route, I was always the one who was chosen to read. When it came time to read about Jim Crow, it was my turn. George Washington Carver and the peanut? That sounds like a job for Brian. Booker T. Washington? Harriet Tubman? Surely Brian is the perfect choice for those passages. All the while, I felt the eyes of my fellow students on me. Again, I was already a shy kid. So, having an entire classroom of White kids stare at me while I explained what lynching and Black Codes were was pretty mortifying.
Middle school is awkward for almost everybody. But when you're one of a handful of Black kids in a sea of judgmental, painfully self-conscious White kids, that awkwardness is magnified. I can remember being in 7th grade when a couple of girls who were always way too cool to talk to me ran up in the hallway and told me they had a girl for me to meet. Being that I was 12 or 13, I asked what she looked like. "You're really going to like her," they said. I met her near the end of the day. She was morbidly obese and about three shades darker than me. The popular girls, of course, decided that since we were both Black and overweight, we were a match made in heaven. At this point, I'm pretty sure they were aware that they were being jerks. The ignorance of childhood had mostly fallen away by that point. But they were popular, I was a nerd, and the girl they thought was perfect for me was new in school. I'm sure they told her they had a great guy for her too. We just stood there, both aware that we were the butt of their joke and aware that we didn't have the social cache to actually do anything about it.
In 8th grade, I went to a friend's house to jump on his trampoline. I didn't know the kid all that well, but we had some mutual friends and at that age, if a kid has a trampoline, you're going to jump on that trampoline. He had a couple of neighbors who were probably 6 or 7 year old girls. We're jumping on the trampoline and the girls come out of their house and come over into his yard. Within about 5 minutes, they were laughing while saying "Get off our property, Black boy." They were little, and they were laughing, so I don't think they knew how ugly they were being. After all, they'd probably never had a Black kid in their one or two elementary school classes. But they'd clearly heard that phrase somewhere else before. I wasn't even on their property; I was next door. But it's fair to assume that at some point, someone in their house had said "Get off my property, Black boy."
In high school, I was around more Black kids. Still not a lot, but more than zero, so that was nice. When I was fifteen, I got my first "real" girlfriend. I'd asked some girls out before, and some of them said yes, but when you're 13 or 14 years old, what does "going out" even mean? So, my first "real" girlfriend was White. After all, I was living in an overwhelmingly White community and it's not like I was a heartthrob, so I was in no position to tell a girl who liked me that I was only interested in dating a Black girl. I might've never had a girlfriend if that was the line I drew. We were a good couple. We got along well and had similar interests and stuff. Basically, what you'd like to have as a high school sophomore. Her parents were divorced, but her mom and stepdad liked me. Then, her biological father found out I was Black. A week later, she called me crying and said we had to break up. Her dad didn't support her dating a Black person. So, my first heartbreak came as a direct result of racism.
When I was going through driver's ed, my behind the wheel instructor was a football coach at one of the other Naperville high schools. He asked what kind of car I wanted one time, and I told him I was gonna get my dad's Dodge Intrepid, but that I really liked my brother's Mazda. He looked at me like I was nuts and said he figured I'd want an Impala so I could put some hydraulics on it and "hit dem switchezzzzz." When we got back to my house at the end of my last behind the wheel session, he shook my hand and said it was a pleasure teaching me how to drive. Then, he said, "You're a Black kid, but you're pretty cool, you know? Like, you're not like one of THOSE Black people, you know?"
In high school, I played football. There was a kid on the football team who I'd been friends with since middle school. Not, like, best friends or anything, but we ran in similar circles and we were certainly friendly with each other. When we were 16 or 17, he started referring to me as "The Whitest Black guy." It really pissed me off. He knew it pissed me off. I guess because I used proper grammar, wore clothes that fit, and listened to metal in addition to hip hop, it made me "White." Turns out, to be "authentically Black" means being a caricature of what a Black person should be, according to this suburban White kid. This is another case of me lacking the vocabulary at the time to express how that made me feel, but it's pretty messed up. This kid (we're currently Facebook friends, so I hope he reads this and knows who I'm talking about) identified as Italian-American. I didn't call him "The most Anglo Italian guy" because he didn't bring home-made ravioli to school for lunch everyday and play an accordion while growing a mustache.
I got pulled over a lot in high school. Like, a lot a lot. By this point, I was no longer driving the Dodge. I had a Mazda of my own. It was flashy and loud, but this was 2002 and everybody with a Japanese car was doing a Vin Diesel impression, so it's not like mine stood out that much more than anyone else's. I spent a ton of money on my car and was especially aware of its appearance. You can understand, then, why it was weird that I was routinely pulled over for a busted taillight. After all, that's the kind of thing I would've noticed and gotten fixed, especially if that taillight tended to burn out once a week or so. My parents had told me how to act when pulled over by the police, so of course I was all "Yes sir, no sir" every time it happened. That didn't stop them from asking me to step out of the car so they could pat me down or search for drugs, though. I didn't have a drop of alcohol until I was 21, but by that point I was an expert at breathalyzers and field sobriety tests. On occasion, the officer was polite. But usually, they walked up with their hand on their gun and talked to me like I'd been found guilty of a grisly homicide earlier in the day. A handful of times, they'd tell me to turn off the car, drop the keys out the window, and keep my hands outside the vehicle before even approaching.
I went to the University of Iowa, which is a very White campus in a very White state. It's funny, because most of the people I met there who came from small-town Iowa were really excited to finally meet a Black person. And it wasn't like they wanted me to be a mascot; they genuinely wanted a Black friend so they could learn about Black people and stuff. It was nice. On the other hand, if I was in a bar and talking to a girl they didn't think I should be talking to, or in their drunken state they bumped into sober me, you'd be surprised to see how quickly some of these guys will call a complete stranger a nigger.
Once, when I came home from college, I was pulled over less than a block from my parents' house. It was late, probably about midnight or so, but I hadn't been drinking and it was winter so I wasn't speeding because it had snowed that day. The officer stepped out of his car with his gun drawn. He told me to drop the keys out the window, then exit the car with my hands up and step back toward him. I knew he was wrong, but I wasn't about to be shot to death down the street from my parents' house because my failure to immediately comply was interpreted as me plotting to murder that officer. So yeah, I stepped out and backed up toward the officer. He hand cuffed me and refused to tell me why I had been pulled over, or why I had been asked to exit my vehicle. Only when I was sitting in the back of the police car did he tell me that there had been reports of gang activity in the area and that a car fitting my car's description with a driver fitting my description had recently been involved in said gang activity. Gang activity. In south Naperville. Committed by a Black male driving a bright blue Mazda MX-6 with a gaudy blue and white interior. Yeah, alright. He was very short in asking me what I was doing in the neighborhood so late at night. I explained that my parents lived at that house with the glass backboard over there. He didn't believe me. He took me back out of the car and put me face down on the hood of the police car to frisk me. I'd already been searched once before he put me in the car. Then, he spent about 15 minutes searching my car while I stood hand cuffed in the cold. My ID had my parents' address on it, but he still didn't think I lived there. I could tell he wanted to accuse me of having a fake ID. About a half hour after being pulled over, when he found nothing on me, nothing in my car, and nothing on my record, he reluctantly let me go. He didn't even say sorry, or explain that it was his mistake; he must've been looking for another Black man in a bright blue Mazda MX-6 who was a gang leader in south Naperville. He sat in the street until I drove to my parents' house, opened the garage door, drove inside, and then closed the garage door.
Back at Iowa, things were pretty cool. Yeah, the occasional frat boy would call me a nigger when he was mad at me at the bar, but I had a lot of good friends and it's not like nobody had ever called me that before or anything. I was dating a girl when I went to college, and we broke up right before my sophomore year. She made sure to tell me she would NEVER date someone outside of her race again when we broke up. As though A) I was the representative of all Black people, and B) I was going to have to explain to all Black men why she was unwilling to date them in the future.
One summer when I was back from college, I had an argument with a good friend of mine. When I say "good friend," I mean that this is a guy I knew since middle school. Our dads used to work together. I can't count how many times I had spent the night at his parents' house. But we had an argument. The kind of argument most friends have at one point or another. This time, he decided to get really, really racial about it. He started off by telling me I should be ashamed of my complexion (he later claimed that he meant I had bad skin; only I'd only had like two pimples in my entire life). Then, he said I belong in the ghetto, not Naperville. In the end, he looked me dead in the face and called me a nigger. Again, this was one of my closest friends. Since then, I've completely cut him out of my life. But, it fits with the experiences that I've had too many times; people can be totally cool for years and years but suddenly decide that they need to be super racist because they want to hurt you. They'll say they're sorry, they'll explain how you misinterpreted what they said, but the fact is, they reach for racism because they think it'll emotionally and psychologically destroy you, and that's what they want to do at that moment.
During my senior year, I went to a game at Kinnick stadium. I'd been to every home game since my first week at college and a handful of away games too. I'd only started drinking about 5 months before that, but my band had a show the night before and my bandmates were leaving town that morning, so I didn't get hammered during tailgating. I didn't want them to call me for directions and have me be unable to help. We were waiting in line to get into the game; I was with probably 4 or 5 of my friends. While standing in line, a much drunker guy lost his balance and fell into me and one of my friends. I caught him and helped him back up, and he was pretty oblivious to his surroundings. An officer inside the gate saw what happened and called me out of the line when I got inside the gate. He told me that he saw me try to fight that guy in line and said I was too drunk to enter the stadium. He told me I could either go home or go to jail. I told him I had no problem going home, but because there were only two more home games left I wanted to know what I had done to draw such negative attention to myself. Plus, it was pretty cold anyway. He got about an inch from my face and yelled, "GO HOME NOW OR GO TO JAIL." I turned to leave and he hand cuffed me. I wound up watching Iowa vs Northwestern 2006 from the drunk tank inside Kinnick Stadium. Everyone else in there was either screaming, puking, or passed out. The guy who fell into me was allowed to go into the game. The charges against me were dropped when the lady who kept an eye on the drunk tank spoke on my behalf when I had to go see the judge.
In 2012, I went to watch the Iowa game at John Barleycorn on Clark Street in Chicago. We watched almost every game there. I had gotten some t-shirts printed up and went to my car to get them so I could give them to my friends. While coming back, I saw a Michigan fan absolutely beating the hell out of a Nebraska fan (they were both White). I ran up into the fight (I was admittedly drunk this time) and pulled the Michigan fan off the Nebraska fan. Dude's face was all bloody and messed up. The police were on the scene about 15 seconds later. Michigan and Nebraska both got to go home to "cool off," but I wound up hand cuffed and sitting on the curb. There were at least a dozen witnesses there who tried to tell the officer that I was just trying to break up the fight, and that Michigan should've been arrested for assault. One of Nebraska's female friends even told the officer that I might've saved his life (probably an exaggeration, but it's what was said). After about 15 minutes, the officer removed the hand cuffs and let me go. He said he got a call that there was a big fight breaking out, but otherwise I'd be going to jail that night. He said if he ever saw me on Clark Street again, we'd have a problem.
I could go on and on and on about this. I could tell you about the guy who wanted to buy his guitar from someone who "actually knew what a guitar was" when I worked at guitar center. At that point, I had a Gibson Les Paul at my house and an Ibanez acoustic, plus a Warwick fretless bass. I could tell you about the coworker who thought it was funny to adopt a stereotypical Black accent to apologize that we weren't going to have fried chicken and cornbread at our company Christmas party. I could tell you about the time I gave my floor mate a haircut freshman year and he "thanked" me by saying he'd let a negro cut his hair any day of the week. I could tell you about leaving a bar heartbroken and fighting tears when the Trayvon Martin verdict came out only to see a couple middle-aged White guys high-fiving and saying he "got what he deserved" right outside. These are only a handful of the experiences I've had in my 31 years.
I've never had a Black boss. I played football from middle school through senior year of high school and only had one Black coach in that whole time. Not just head coaches, I'm talking about assistants and position coaches. I've had two Black teachers in my entire life. One was for my Harlem Renaissance class, and one was for my sign language class. I've never been to a Black doctor, or a Black dentist. I've never been pulled over by a Black police officer. What I'm trying to explain is that, in 31 years, I've seen three Black people in a position of authority. Think about what that does to the psyche of a growing young man. I remember being excited just a few years ago when we started to see Black people in commercials without there being gospel or hip hop music in the background (remember that McDonald's commercial where the little kid was pop-locking with the chicken McNuggets?).
Before you say it, I don't want to hear that you're "sorry I had these experiences." Because it's not just me. It's not like I'm some kind of magnet for all of the racists in America and I'm some weird anomaly. This is what it means to be Black in America. I appreciate that you're sorry for me, but I'm not seeking your sorrow. I'm seeking your understanding. I just want you to understand that this is real. We're not exaggerating it, and we're not making it up. White people often say that we make everything about race. That's because, for us, damn near everything IS about race. It's always been that way. When I have a great phone interview, but go for my in-person interview only to be told that the position has been filled, how am I supposed to know that's not just because they expected a White Iowa graduate to show up for the interview? When I have an especially-attentive employee keep checking in with me at the mall, how am I supposed to know they're shooting for employee of the month, not watching me to make sure I'm not stealing? What do you think it's like when someone says "You don't sound Black at all" when I have a phone conversation with them and then meet them in person? What do you think it's like seeing Confederate flags on cars and flag poles in northern states, only to have someone tell me I'm being too sensitive for not liking it?
When we say "Black Lives Matter," understand what that actually means. We aren't saying that ONLY Black lives matter. We're saying "Black lives matter TOO." For the entirety of the history of this country, Black lives have not mattered. At a minimum, they haven't mattered nearly as much as White lives. If a Black person kills another Black person, and we have it on tape, the killer goes to jail. If a White police officer kills a Black person and we have it on tape, the entire judicial system steps up to make sure that officer doesn't go to jail. It doesn't matter whether the Black person was holding a toy gun in a Walmart, or whether the Black person was a 12-year-old kid playing with a BB gun in an empty park. The police union steps up to say the officer was fearing for his life, just worried about trying to make it home that night. IF a grand jury is convened, the prosecutor will present a purposely-weak case to make sure no indictment is reached. IF, by some miracle, an indictment is handed down, no jury is actually going to convict that officer. That's what we mean when we say Black Lives Matter. I can only speak for myself, but I have no reason to believe that the officers in Minnesota or Baton Rouge will ever see the inside of a jail cell. If we can have video evidence that an officer pulled up, jumped out of his car, shot a 12-year-old to death less than 2 seconds after arriving on the scene, administered no first aid, tackled and hand cuffed the boy's sister when she arrived on the scene, and then falsified a police report to say that the boy pointed a gun at him and that he only shot when the boy refused several orders to drop his weapon and STILL not get an indictment, why should we think that an officer who shoots a Black man who had a gun in his pocket, or a Black man who had a concealed weapon on him, will face a trial? If a White man sees a 14-year-old Black boy in his neighborhood, follows him in his car, ignores orders not to engage him, then gets into a fight with him and shoots him in the chest and is found not guilty, why should we expect ANYBODY to go to jail for killing us? It's just not realistic. It's a fairy tale. All you have to do is say you were afraid, and you get a book deal and a job as a commentator on FOX News every time this kind of thing happens again.
That is why Black people are in such pain right now. The deaths are bad enough. But having the feeling that nobody will ever actually be held accountable for the deaths is so much worse. And then watching as the police union, the media, and conservative politicians team up to imagine scenarios where the officer did nothing wrong, and then tell those of us who are in pain that our pain is wrong, unjustified, and all in our heads just serves to twist the knife.
If you read all this, I really, really want to say thank you. I know it was a lot to get through. But this is real. This is me. This is what my life is and has been. And I'm not alone.
There is much work to be done, join us in helping find a real and lasting solution.

Judge again hides Newtown shooting facts from public (Column)
The pressure on Danbury's State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky to suppress public information about last December's Newtown massacre cannot be good for his health. Nor is it good for the health of open government or the populace at large.
During a meeting with families of victims on March 27, Sedensky tried to explain how open government works. Amid suggestions to keep the case "open forever," Sedensky advised the group that pro bono lawyers could step forward to help fight the release of public information.
Judge "Roll-Over" John Blawie - without as much as a perfunctory hearing - that same day allowed Sedensky to hide public records for another 90 days.
A trained monkey could insert this line into a judicial order: "The court finds that due to the nature and circumstances of this case and the ongoing investigation, the state's interest in continuing nondisclosure substantially outweighs the right to public disclosure at this time."
But, that doesn't make it right, just or true.
An honest ruling might say: "Damn the public interest. We have a lot to hide for reasons you can't make us disclose."
Are there any legitimate law enforcement reasons to keep hiding this information? What suspects would be tipped off with normal and customary production of uncensored search warrants? What evidence would be lost?
These guys do not deserve the benefit of the doubt. By continuing to suppress information, Sedensky has lessened public confidence in his ability and his office. This information does not belong to Sedensky or the governor. It belongs to all of us. We do not yield our sovereignty to our public servants. They do not have the right to decide what is good for us to know.
The 911 tapes, which the Associated Press was denied, are among the information that would go a long way toward providing a complete picture. Without them, and amid the high-profile presence of police scanner snippets online, Sedensky adds more fuel to the speculation with his game of Connecticut hold 'em.
"This was a case that had a profound impact on people beyond the immediate area and it will have a profound impact on public policy, Richard Hanley, graduate journalism director at Quinnipiac University, told the AP. "It's imperative that the authorities release the full investigative records, the 911 calls and other documents relative to this slaughter, because the overriding interest is the public's right to know."
Until that happens, Sedensky and the public will be in a state of grave disrepair. Sedensky has taken what is rightfully ours, and that is wrong.

Michigan Tech Chosen to Help Bolster Numbers of Women in Computing
Michigan Tech has been selected to participate in the National Center for Women and Information Technology (NCWIT) Pacesetters program, designed to increase women's participation in the computing disciplines in a measurable way. Twenty universities and 14 companies were chosen.
NCWIT Pacesetters is a 2-year program in which senior leaders from companies and universities publicly commit to increasing the number of women in the US computing and technology workforce. The program is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Google and Qualcomm.
It comes at a time when Michigan Tech is working on many fronts to achieve the University's goal of increasing female enrollment. "The Pacesetter designation will help us focus our efforts on women in the computing fields and will keep us on track and provide a network of support for the development of creative recruitment initiatives," said Allison Carter, director of admissions.
Pacesetters at Michigan Tech is a collaborative effort of the College of Sciences & Arts, the Department of Computer Science, and the Admissions and Advancement Offices. The Center for Pre-college Outreach Center, Career Services and the Office of Institutional Diversity helped prepare the University's application. The University is planning to partner with young alumnae who are willing to share their experiences with prospective students to provide examples of opportunities the University offers for undergraduate research, co-ops and internships, networking and future careers, Carter said. Currently, plans are focused on communicating with high school sophomores and juniors, as well as accepted female students enrolling next fall.
According to the NCWIT, women currently hold only 25 percent of all computing-related jobs in the US. They earn just 18 percent of computing and information sciences degrees granted by US universities. What's more, 56 percent of women in computing leave their jobs at the mid-career level, when their loss is most costly to their companies. Research also has found that women's increased participation in computing jobs is tied to higher profits, better return on investment and more innovation, the organization said.
"For many years I have been interested in finding ways to encourage young women to pursue computing as a career, said Linda Ott, professor and former chair of computer science and head of the Pacesetters program at Michigan Tech. " There are so many exciting career opportunities for those in computing. Our efforts to increase the number of women majoring in computer science have resulted in slow changes, and it seemed like such a daunting task to have a major impact and really get more women into our program."
Then Ott heard about the successes--and the excitement generated by--the pilot group of Pacesetters who launched their drive to increase the number of women in computing fields in 2011. When Michigan Tech had the opportunity to apply, Ott jumped on it. "I see this as a chance to focus resources on campus to aid in recruiting women into computing," she said. "More importantly, we will be working with a cohort of universities and industries committed to the same goal. This will give us access to a large pool of resources and ideas for making a real change. We will be working collaboratively with a powerful group of institutions to actually increase the number of women in computing, not just competing for the few who are already aware of their interest in the field.
"It's important for our students and our computer science department to have a more diverse student population," Ott went on to say. "It's even more important to our country. If one looks at the job projections put out by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, half of the projected growth in jobs in all the STEM fields are going to be in computing. It's unlikely that there will be enough computing professionals if we don't broaden the pool of those interested in pursuing computing careers."
The new group of NCWIT Pacesetters kicks off its 2-year program with a meeting at the University of California at Santa Cruz on Feb. 25, 2013. Ott and Bruce Seely, dean of the College of Sciences & Arts, will attend that meeting.
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

Taking on Liberal Newspapers
By Hans Zeiger
Across the heartlands and hinterlands of conservative America, many doubters and desponders wake up every morning to retrieve their newspaper, a product of the downtown Left. And so it shall remain, they say. But for America's growing army of young conservatives, there are no boundaries to the battle for the future. Even the newspapers of America must stand to reckon with a new generation of conservatives.
Two students at Seattle Pacific
University named Matthew McCleary and Benjamin Williams are launching a
publication called the Seattle
Sentinel at www.seattlesentinel.com. The sophomores have a long-term goal no less than turning the Seattle Sentinel into "the dominant paper in Seattle."
Pessimists who doubt about America's
future, who insist that the liberal bias of the media is permanent and
impenetrable, think a goal like
the Sentinel's impossible. But McCleary and Williams and their new staff of writers and editors are energized. They're devoted. They'll make it happen within fifty years, they say.
"We want a conservative newspaper in Seattle," says Williams. "We have an interest in Seattle because it is our town. We are sick of the Times and Post-Intelligencer controlling the Seattle print media. People who do not investigate the news only get one side of the story, the liberal side. We need to provide people in Seattle with an alternative to our biased newspapers."
Across the country, more and more young conservatives are taking on similar projects, on their campuses, in their communities, on the internet. The conservative youth opinion site www.yconservatives.com, was established after September 11, 2001 when Gresham Kay was inspired by the voice of Rush Limbaugh to "get out there and do something." Even 11-year old Emil Levitin, a public school student from Massachusetts, is in the action with www.republicanvoices.org .
Youth-oriented conservative print publications abound also. College freshman Alex Bozmoski recently started a new nationwide journal called The Right Idea, "dedicated to propagating a message of freedom, justice, and social values throughout our communities and our nation," to provide a "conservative print alternative to what the liberal establishment has made so readily available."
Hundreds of mainstream college campus newspapers must now compete with an array of successful conservative publications, many of which have been founded in the last few years as the number of informed and active conservative students has increased.
One of the most widely read campus newspapers is UC Berkeley's California Patriot. "In an area dominated politically and intellectually by radical, outspoken, leftist organizations," declares the Patriot's Mission Statement, "it is our moral obligation to balance class liberal saturation with conservative viewpoints that will no longer be maligned and stifled."
Established, famed publications like Ann Coulter's Cornell Review and Dinesh D'Souza's Dartmouth Review thrive with admirable budgets, talent, and readership. Nearly every major college and university in the nation now has an active, controversial, Right-minded publication.
And these campus publications are not without a support network. Since the Collegiate Network of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute was founded 25 years ago, it has been instrumental in providing financial and technical resources to hundreds of conservative newspapers and magazines on leading college and university campuses, especially in recent years. Today, the Collegiate Network supports 80 top conservative campus publications with an annual combined total distribution of 2 million.
"Don't let the left dominate your campus for another year!" proclaims the website of the Leadership Institute Campus Leadership Program, which also plays a role in developing conservative campus publications by training editors, writers, and fundraisers and providing startup cash.
With the Collegiate Network, Leadership Institute, and other organizations like Young America's Foundation, Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum Collegians, and David Horowitz's Students for Academic Freedom, conservative students are able to build and maintain impressive conservative publications on their campuses.
Some young conservatives are revolutionizing the campus media. Others are making waves on the internet. For Matthew McCleary and Benjamin Williams of the Seattle Sentinel, the battleground is nothing less than Seattle. Seattle can become a more conservative city, says McCleary, "but it will take a cultural revolution. It will start with the youth. Our parents got us into the mess of liberalism. We need to rebel against it, and stand up for conservative Christian values."
When McCleary speaks of rebellion, he means rebellion against rebellion. He means restoring those old American values rejected by a couple of previous youth generations of recent decades.
But there is something new and exciting about the rising generation, of which I am a part. A powerful number of young people born during the Reagan era are optimists, idealists, and dreamers in a radically conservative way. Rebellion against rebellion is just that, radically conservative.
These conservative young Americans see a bright future on the horizon. True, we're spoiled; we've never known hardship like most people in the world have known it throughout history. True, many young Americans are more lost and more decadent than their parents were. But the greatest truth about America, says Williams, is that "We live in the greatest nation on God's green earth where the American dream is still prevalent.
McCleary agrees. "There is still a
core of conservative Americans. As long as there are people like us doing
everything in our power to preserve America's liberty and Judeo-Christian
foundation, the future will always be bright. It's a matter of

The Tucson Unified School Board, in a 3-2 vote, ousted the director of the Mexican-American Studies Program on April 10.
Program Director Sean Arce co-founded the MAS Program in 1999 and developed it into one of the most successful programs in the district. In 2004, the Mexican-American Studies Department was combined with the Pan-Asian, African-American and Native-American Studies Departments to create the new Ethnic Studies Department. This made the Tucson district the only K-12 public school district in the U.S. with an Ethnic Studies Department.
During the two-and-a-half-hour public comment period prior to the vote, people defended Arce and the program and lambasted the racist cowards on the board. Not one comment was made against the program. Community activist Isabel Garcia expressed the anger and outrage of the people when she told the board, "I believe you prefer our children in prison than graduating from these high schools."

Ethan Allen celebrates 80 years in business
DANBURY-- "Crisis creates opportunity," said Ethan Allen Interiors Chief Executive Officer Farooq Kathwari, and for the iconic American furniture maker celebrating its eighth decade in business, the Great Recession of 2007-08 set the stage for changes he believes should keep the company operating for another 80 years.
The worst economic collapse since Ethan Allen's founding during the Great Depression hit "like a tsunami," Kathwari, who is chairman, president and chief executive officer of the company, said in an interview last week.
Management was forced to re-examine operations and make changes necessary to retain a leading position in an increasingly competitive home-furnishings market. Out went production runs of several hundred identical pieces of furniture. In came the idea of building pieces to customers' orders, and hiring new designers -- many who were forced by economic conditions to abandon their own businesses.
"Now we are making products when orders come. It allows us to offer many options," Kathwari said.
Ethan Allen, which moved to Danbury from Manhattan in the early 1970s, is marking its 80th anniversary. On Tuesday, just before a dinner at the Lake Avenue Extension hotel bearing its name, Ethan Allen recognized efforts of some 400 managers and licensees. A second event to honor designers was held on Wednesday, and last month Kathwari was joined by a group of team members to ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange as part of the celebrations. A new design line called American Colors was also created.
"The great thing about any enterprise is its people," Kathwari said. "When the people are treated with dignity, if they are given direction, if they are listened to, chances are you will stay relevant."
"We're honored to have Ethan Allen in our community," Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton told attendees as he presented Kathwari with a mayoral proclamation celebrating the anniversary.
Western Connecticut State University President James Schmotter said the company -- which started in 1932 as a small housewares seller in New York City and opened its first factory four years later in Vermont to manufacture Early American-style furniture -- thrived by providing quality products to consumers.
"If you have products that serve and delight your customer base, you will flourish, and that's what Ethan Allen has been doing for 80 years," Schmotter said.
In an interview with The News-Times before Tuesday's dinner, Kathwari, who became CEO in 1988, said the economic crisis allowed Ethan Allen to redefine itself.
"To survive for 80 years, you have to have reinvented, either by chance or by plan," he said. "We have mostly done it by plan throughout this period."
Globally, Ethan Allen has about 300 stores it now calls design centers, including in Norwalk, Milford, Stamford and Danbury. And even with 73 stores in China, the company has avoided shipping manufacturing jobs overseas, where labor costs are cheaper.
Indeed, Kathwari said Ethan Allen makes 70 percent of its products in the United States.
Meanwhile, company profits are slowly recovering from the recession, Kathwari said.
"Consumers are still concerned. They think very carefully what they buy, and they are looking at value," he said.
The company's shares have fared well, gaining about 36 percent this year and trading at $22 on Friday, compared to around $16 a year ago. Its stock is up 131 percent from February 2009's $9.54.
In a recent note to investors, Raymond James analyst Budd Bugatch said Ethan Allen was poised for growth. He saw a buying opportunity around $20, with a target price of $26.
Bugatch said the company has refreshed roughly 60 percent of its product line and has put behind it a financial drag from transition-related expenses.
Paul Schatz, president and chief investment officer of Woodbridge-based investment advisory firm Heritage Capital, however, isn't so sure about the stock.
"It's not a stock I would want to own now because there are too many headwinds," Schatz said. "Furniture stocks get a huge portion of their upside right as we recover from a bear market."
He said the industry is hit hard in the beginnings of a downturn as people stop buying furniture and then roars back to life when the economy recovers, which is exactly the script Ethan Allen followed.
But with the potential for taxes to go up next year on the wealthy, a key clientele for Ethan Allen, share prices may not reach their pre-recession highs above $30, he said.
Tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans, put in place during the Bush administration, are set to expire at the end of January.
Ethan Allen stock, which was trading around $31 in early 2008, can reach as high as $27 Schatz said, because of concerns about the economy, especially if taxes increase and government spending drops.

I have an application that runs as a service and contains an FTP client. It needs to connect to an FTP server that only supports Active FTP. When I attempt to get a list of files or download a file, Windows Firewall is dropping the incoming connection from the FTP server. (I don't believe we had this problem in Windows XP or Windows Vista.)
Active FTP is the protocol that requires the the server to open a connection to the client on a port that the client specified. (http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html)
I know I could open up a large port range in Windows Firewall and force my FTP client to only use those ports, but I would have guessed that Windows Firewall would support Active FTP natively.
Is there some setting that needs to be made in order to have Windows Firewall automatically detect Active FTP and open up the necessary ports as needed? Can I change that setting programmatically?

Thanksgiving just ended, and winter and Christmas are just around the corner. It's time to take on the cold weather with an new addition to your outerwear. A wool coat, or trench coat will keep you stylish, and warm, when those temps start to drop. The chic coat above is the Kenneth Cole Reaction Belted Asymmetrical Wool-Blend Coat. The coat flaunts an asymmetrical style and a belted silhouette. There are more chic and sophisticated options below. Let's face it, you want to stay warm, but still look fabulous, when the cold weather hits!
|The trench coat typically takes on a utilitarian silhouette, and is a classic and timeless staple, to add to your outerwear collection. The trench is perfect for the office, but can look edgy for a night out with a pair of leather pants like shown above. It's so versatile, and a definite must have for your fall/winter wardrobe. The above coat is MICHAEL Michael Kors Mixed- Media Hooded Trench Coat. It comes in black, and is also available in tan. It has a notch collar and removable hood. The trench is the perfect way to ease into the cold weather season.


text: The 2012 VW Golf R creeps ever nearer to American showrooms. But it's going to creep at a slightly slower rate than a Euro version would. That's because the 2.0-liter turbo four has been de-tuned from 270 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque to 256 and 243. Sounds like emissions regulations had something to do with this. At least it's still more powerful than a GTI (200/207), but there's more bad news. There won't be a DSG option when it goes on sale in the USA next year. It seems all the enthusiasts would prefer to change gears themselves with a six-speed manual 'box transmitting power to all four wheels. Nevertheless, we're still looking at a zero-to-60 mph time well under six seconds, bigger brakes, special-design wheels and a leather interior. One of the few options will be whether to buy a three-door or five-door. Starting price should be around $33,000.

Note: this article was originally published on May 10, 2013 as the fourth installment of my six part series for Mismanaging Perception on the unsuccessful campaign to fluoridate Portland's water supply. It's worth noting that this was my only guest submission to Blue Oregon to ever be rejected.
By now you've likely received your special election ballot in the mail, and if you've been focused on the issue of adding fluorosilicic acid, (aka fluoride) into our drinking water, you've likely already voted and mailed your ballot. If you're one of the thousands of Portlanders who haven't yet voted and are undecided, well, you've got a lot of arguments to weigh.
The pro-fluoride lobby is represented by a well funded group called 'Healthy Kids Healthy Portland' (HKHP) that formed after a failed attempt by Upstream Public Health to pass fluoridation through city hall without a public vote. These closed door lobbying sessions were kept off the city's calendar.
HKHP argues that Portland is in the midst of a "dental crisis", and that fluoridation of our drinking water is the best way to combat this problem. Yet Portland's rate of tooth decay is half that of Oregon's statewide statistics, and far below the national average where a majority of municipalities are fluoridated. In fact, according to a KATU News investigation that required two Freedom of Information Act requests, fluoridation produces almost no reduction to tooth decay statistics.

Joyous screams echoed through the hallways of W.J. Gurganus Elementary School Tuesday morning as students learned that they would be getting new playground equipment.
Joyous screams echoed through the hallways of W.J. Gurganus Elementary School Tuesday morning as students learned that they would be getting new playground equipment.
The Havelock school got enough votes in U.S. Cellular�s 2013 Calling all Communities Campaign to receive $25,000 from the company for the project.
Principal Debbie Hurst said the old playground was constructed in 1991. On particularly hot days, the playground can�t be used because it could pose a safety threat to the students.
�What it means for us is we get a new set of playground equipment,� Hurst said of the contest.
The top 20 schools receiving the most votes in the online contest received funds. Though initially outside of the top 20 early in the contest, a late push to get out the vote propelled the Gurganus into the winning position.
�The students took out flyers and our parents were the biggest drivers behind this,� Hurst said.
On Tuesday, a national linkup at 11:30 a.m. listed all of the winning schools, and Gurganus students cheered as they saw their school�s name in the list. The linkup happened simultaneously as representatives from U.S. Cellular walked around the school with balloons from classroom to classroom.
They were joined by a human-sized, red and white walking cell phone called Cellby, which was entertaining to the children in classes from kindergarten through fifth grade.
�We are certainly proud to be part of this,� said Dee Taylor, director of sales for U.S. Cellular�s Southeast territory.
�It�s extremely important to U.S. Cellular to be part of the community and to be about giving back to the community. Many of our associates live and work in the community, and this is a great day for us to give back to the community the $25,000 for their playground.�
Gurganus was one of 4,000 schools that received votes in the contest.
Since 2008, the company has awarded $4.5 million to 76 schools across the United States. North Carolina schools have received $850,000.

Dina Manzo from "The Real Housewives Of New Jersey," Jeff Lewis and Jenni Pulos from "Flipping Out," Isaac Mizrahi from "The Fashion Show" and "Top Chef's" Michael Voltaggio, Jennifer Carroll & Eli Kirshtein Set To Appear
NEW YORK, NY - April 26, 2010 - Bravo celebrates the Kentucky Derby with the second annual "Ladies First: Bravo at the Kentucky Derby" special live from Churchill Downs in Louisville, KY., airing on Friday, April 30 at 5 p.m. ET/PT. This one-hour special, produced by NBC Sports and hosted by Bravo's Andy Cohen, celebrates the very best in food, fashion and the celebrity experience associated with the 136th running of the Kentucky Oaks. Dina Manzo from 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey," and Jeff Lewis and Jenni Pulos from "Flipping Out" join Cohen to celebrate a day for women and to give viewers a history on the fashion and festivities before and after the Oaks race. Isaac Mizrahi, renowned designer and host of Bravo's "The Fashion Show" will dress "Today" show correspondent Natalie Morales for the festivities, and "Top Chef" stars Michael Voltaggio, Jennifer Carroll and Eli Kirshtein will be cooking from the Infield Club.
Viewers will get to experience the thrill of the Kentucky Derby experience live from their own homes as they watch the festivities unfold - Bravo-style. From learning how to bet on horse races with "The Real Housewives of New Jersey's" Dina Manzo, to a Derby fashion show judged by "Flipping Out's" Jenni Pulos, viewers will get a behind-the-scenes look at everything the Kentucky Oaks has to offer. Also, the special will include a "Top Chef" cooking segment judged by "Flipping Out's" Jeff Lewis and a countdown of the best horse moments from the "Real Housewives" franchise.
Additionally, "Top Chef: The Tour," a state-of-the-art customized traveling kitchen with expansive space to accommodate cooks and fans alike, will make a special stop at the Kentucky Oaks in the Infield Club. The 21-city nationwide traveling tour for the No. 1 food show on cable, the Emmy and James Beard award-winning "Top Chef," gives Bravo's passionate fans the opportunity to interact with "chef'testants" Michael, Jennifer and Eli in Louisville in a more interactive way than ever before. Visitors of "Top Chef: The Tour," sponsored locally by Insight Communications, will have the opportunity to sample food tastings, receive gourmet cooking tips, hear "Top Chef" show "secrets," and get chef'testant autographs. Also, fans will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of on-site "Top Chef" activities, including a Quickfire Challenge.
Kentucky Oaks 136, the companion event to the annual Kentucky Derby, will feature a day of events to raise money and awareness for Susan G. Komen for the Cure(R), the world's largest breast cancer organization, which leads the global movement for breast cancer research, education, advocacy and community support. Churchill Downs Racetrack, host of the Kentucky Derby(R) and the Kentucky Oaks(R), and Komen, formed a partnership to raise funds to aid in breast cancer awareness and research.
In addition, both organizations are working together to create special events throughout Oaks Day that will be featured in the "Ladies First" special, including a First Lady of Fashion Contest, a Survivors Parade and a special Kentucky Oaks winner's circle formed by breast cancer survivors to celebrate the Kentucky Oaks winner's victory on the track and the survivors' victories over breast cancer. Since the official color of both the Kentucky Oaks and breast cancer awareness is pink, Churchill Downs is also staging a "Pink Out" at the track on Oaks Day and encouraging all Oaks attendees to wear pink or to incorporate pink into their attire for the day to show their support. Through the new partnership with Susan G. Komen, Churchill Downs will donate at least $100,000 to Komen by dedicating funds from Kentucky Oaks 136 general admission and reserve seating attendance.
Bravo is a program service of NBC Universal Cable Entertainment, a division of NBC Universal one of the world's leading media and entertainment companies in the development, production, and marketing of entertainment, news, and information to a global audience. Bravo has been an NBC Universal cable network since December 2002 and was the first television service dedicated to film and the performing arts when it launched in December 1980.

The Pumpkin Patch is OPEN!
Yup – it's that time of year! We're opening up our 'Pick Your Own Pumpkin Patch'! We have a 'Pick Your Own Pumpkin Patch at the northern end of our property – area 12 on the Orchard Map. You can head out there and pick whichever pumpkin you want. We have a few wagons but if you're worried about having to haul your pumpkins I would definitely recommend either bringing your own wagon for hauling or making sure that you pick pumpkins that you can carry back. We're always collecting wagons for the orchard so feel free to drop your old ones off!

If you don't feel like heading to the patch you can 'Pick Your Own Pumpkin' out of the ones we have pre-picked by the store. Slightly easier…
Regardless of how you decide to 'Pick Your Own' figuring out the price of your pumpkin stays the same. I'm going to give you a quick step by step on
How to Weigh & Pay for Your Pumpkin and/or Gourds
You are going to take your pumpkin and or gourds first to our 'Pumpkin Weigh Station'. The Pumpkin Weigh Station is located in under the lean, just south of the store. I circled the location on the orchard map above.

Here you can see the customer bringing her pumpkin over to the weigh station.Picture of weigh station not in use…

Next weigh your pumpkin/gourd on the scale. Each pumpkin and/or gourd should be weighed individually.
Grab a sheet by the scale to fill out. There should be sheets and pencils. If there's not, come into the store to get more. Mark on the sheet which wait group each pumpkin falls in – tallying works wonderfully! You can round down with your weights. For example if you pumpkin ways 7.56 lbs please mark it in the $3 category. If it weights 10.25 lbs it's in the $4 category.
Feel free to take a break to pet one of our friendly kitties.
Once you have your pumpkins and gourds weighed and tallied put them in your car. We don't need to see them in the store – we're sure you've picked out a really amazing pumpkin or gourd but we're really okay not seeing it.
Before you leave the orchard though please bring the your tally sheet into the store to pay for your pumpkins/gourds.
If you forget what I wrote in this blog post once you get to the store – you can find the instructions on the Pumpkin Weigh Station – I'll probably post a sign a few other places too now that I think about it.
There are LOTS of really humungous gourds that grew this year! These are priced the same way as the pumpkins!
We're very laid back about the pumpkin picking here – we hope you enjoy your experience!

Drug information provided by: IBM Micromedex
Vincristine belongs to the group of medicines known as antineoplastic agents. It is used to treat some kinds of cancer as well as some noncancerous conditions.
Vincristine interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected by vincristine, other effects will also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor. Other effects, such as hair loss, may not be serious but may cause concern. Some effects may not occur for months or years after the medicine is used.
Before you begin treatment with vincristine, you and your doctor should talk about the good this medicine will do as well as the risks of using it.
Vincristine is to be administered only by or under the immediate supervision of your doctor.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
This medicine has been tested in children and has not been shown to cause different side effects or problems than it does in adults.
Nervous system effects may be more likely to occur in the elderly, who are usually more sensitive to the effects of vincristine.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is not recommended. Your doctor may decide not to treat you with this medication or change some of the other medicines you take.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines may cause an increased risk of certain side effects, but using both drugs may be the best treatment for you. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following is usually not recommended, but may be unavoidable in some cases. If used together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use this medicine, or give you special instructions about the use of food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
Vincristine is often given together with certain other medicines. If you are using a combination of medicines, it is important that you receive each one at the proper time. If you are taking some of these medicines by mouth, ask your health care professional to help you plan a way to take them at the right times.
While you are using this medicine, it may be necessary to drink extra fluids so that you will pass more urine. This will help prevent kidney problems and keep your kidneys working well. Ask your doctor if this is necessary for you.
This medicine sometimes causes nausea and vomiting. However, it is very important that you continue to receive the medicine, even if you begin to feel ill. Ask your health care professional for ways to lessen these effects.
Vincristine frequently causes constipation and stomach cramps. Your doctor may want you to take a laxative. However, do not decide to take these medicines on your own without first checking with your doctor.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that vincristine is working properly and to check for unwanted effects.
While you are being treated with vincristine, and after you stop treatment with it, do not have any immunizations (vaccinations) without your doctor's approval. Vincristine may lower your body's resistance and there is a chance you might get the infection the immunization is meant to prevent. Other people living in your household should not take or should not have recently taken oral polio vaccine since there is a chance they could pass the polio virus on to you. Also, avoid other persons who have taken oral polio vaccine. Do not get close to them, and do not stay in the same room with them for very long. If you cannot take these precautions, you should consider wearing a protective face mask that covers the nose and mouth.
If vincristine accidentally seeps out of the vein into which it is injected, it may damage some tissues and cause scarring. Tell the doctor or nurse right away if you notice redness, pain, or swelling at the place of injection.
Along with their needed effects, medicines like vincristine can sometimes cause unwanted effects such as blood problems, nervous system problems, loss of hair, and other side effects. These and others are described below. Also, because of the way these medicines act on the body, there is a chance that they might cause other unwanted effects that may not occur until months or years after the medicine is used. Discuss these possible effects with your doctor.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. This medicine often causes a temporary loss of hair. After treatment with vincristine has ended, or sometimes even during treatment, normal hair growth should return.
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
