the School District, all social service agencies, Health Department and the Peoria Police and hold them accountable for work together to find some answers to the nonsense that is happening in our streets!
I don't presume to begin to understand what it takes to manage a city, however, the recent murder of Monterrious Dillard, which was followed up by the retaliatory shooting at Taft Homes appears to be just one more glaring example of entire families spiraling out of control here in Peoria. Another glaring example, was the murder of the Billups child who was shot in his head, during a drive by, while he was sleeping. Much of the crime that we are seeing in the streets and in the school is not only gang related - it is familial.
We may be witnessing instances of not just the children being violent, but so is the mother, the father and the extended family. Local pastors are starting to be concerned about having funeral services in their church, because the probability of violence during the services.
The streets of inner city Peoria continue to be in chaos, yet all our city leaders can focus on is the facade. It appears that some people in this town hate black boys so much, that if they ever got a chance to put their hands on them, they could beat the life out of them. While families mourn their dead children, some are rejoicing as black boys are gunned down in the streets, as evidenced by this quote from a local blog:
"These stories always put a smile on my face. That's one more piece of **** now off the street. Bring on the families airbrushed RIP t-shirts paid for the link card's cash assistance -- funded by paycheck. Have you ever noticed while driving around Peoria and you see Cornelius or Demetrius or Tai-Shawwn or Little Ray-Ray walking down the road and he's turning his head with his eyes glued on you as you approach and drive past him? These ghetto ****s are so paranoid that they give "watch your back" it's literal meaning."
As the chaos in the streets continue, we can certainly expect the children who live in the inner city and matriculate in inner city schools to continue to show signs of being traumatized. We can expect that they will be acting out, as evidenced by the calls to the Peoria Police by District 150 Schools on Monday. During the time that I was listening, I heard five calls.
It's past time for an emergency meeting, Mr. City Manager, a meeting about the quality of life of the children who reside in this community. It's a quality of life that cannot be improved by a Peoria Promise, museums, a hotel, a new Zoo, or one experimental charter school.
Our inner city is in crisis, yet the only people who appear to be outraged enough to do anything about it are those that are filled with disdain for the very children who are caught in Peoria's vicious cycle of poverty.
As a home owner in the inner City of Peoria who is feeling over taxed; as a black mother with hard working children; as an African American mother who blogs about failing schools and the dying inner city, I see you Mr. City Manager...
I see you managing to find a way to turn garbage into streets, now let me see you clean up those very same crime riddled streets. I think we can agree, its going to take a lot more than a special toter from PDC.

Dear friends of the Zobha community,
October was such an exciting month for us. One event that we are especially proud of took place on Saturday, October 20th, when Zobha and Kiddo! teamed up to invite the Mill Valley community out for the first, of hopefully many, "Yoga in The Square" events. Susan Hauser, Zobha Circle of Grace member and power yoga teacher at Red Dragon Yoga in Mill Valley, hosted the outdoor yoga class and led the crowd through an energizing power yoga class. People of all ages came out to join us, even those walking by for a morning stroll, to support Kiddo!
Following the yoga class, participants were invited across the street to the Zobha store for refreshments, goodie bags, and of course … shopping! Everyone had a great time and 15% of sales from the event went to support Kiddo! Nothing beats shopping for a good cause!
We were especially excited to kick off this partnership with Kiddo! in give back to the community we touch, as Mill Valley is very close to our hearts. We hope that this successful event may resonate among the local community and that their common desire to help others will further enhance the opportunity for local kids to explore what moves them.
To learn more about Kiddo!, please visit: kiddo.org
To see more photos from the event, check out our Facebook page.

The Fist in the Wilderness
- Overview

The story of the American fur trade has been told many times from different viewpoints, but David Lavender was the first to place it within the overall contest for empire between Britain and the United States. Lavender relates the story of men such as John Jacob Astor and Remsay Crooks, who competed with Britain's Hudson's Bay Company for fur resources of the Great Lakes region and the upper Missouri River country. Within this framework of contest and competition, Lavender shows how the American Fur Company learned to exploit the needs and wants of Indian tribes to gain a superior economic position over the British. The brutal and bloody rivalry helped Ramsay Crooks develop the techniques for transporting furs, supplying trappers, and selling polts that made fur trapping such an integral economic activity in early U.S. history.

Measurement Mystery: This candy-coated geometry lesson reveals the volume of an M&M.
Image: George Retseck
Key concepts
Has an adult ever caught you munching on candy and asked, "How much candy have you eaten?" Instead of saying, "I don't know," and possibly receiving a scolding, wouldn't you rather respond, "I ate precisely 10.7 cubic centimeters of candy"? In this activity, you will investigate which mathematical formula is most accurate for estimating the volume of an M&M. Figure this out and the next time you are discovered while snacking on sweets, you might make a better impression.
Geometry uses math to describe and investigate different points, lines and shapes. A shape is described in geometry using a formula, which is simply a mathematical way to calculate different properties, such as its size, area or volume. Volume is a property of three-dimensional shapes—such as cubes and spheres—and takes into account the space the shapes take up in each of the three different directions.
The challenge of using geometric formulas in the real world is that these mathematical formulas often describe "perfect" or "ideal" shapes. A sphere is an "ideal" three-dimensional shape that is perfectly circular in all three directions. Even though a tennis ball, for example, is spherical in shape, it is not a perfect sphere (think of the lines that mark its surface). Most real-world objects are not simple shapes and require complex geometry to be calculated. The properties of real-world shapes can, however, be approximated, or estimated with a geometric formula. This is called "making a geometric model." The most important part of making a good geometric model is choosing the formula that best describes the object. Using that formula, you can geometrically model all kinds of irregular objects, such as cars, airplanes, toys and M&Ms.
• Two pieces of paper
• Table or countertop
• Clay or Play-Doh. Use a small amount that you do not mind ruining.
• Metric measuring glass with milliliter markings
• Water
• 110 M&Ms. One seven-ounce (198-gram) bag holds about 210 M&Ms.
• Ruler with centimeter markings
• A pen or pencil
• A computer with an Internet connection
• Place a sheet of paper on a clean table or countertop.
• On top of the paper, place a small amount of clay or Play-Doh. Flatten it and stretch it out into a line about 20 centimeters (cm) long by three cm wide. The line should be only a couple cm high. You will be measuring the M&Ms on this.
• The clay or Play-Doh may be ruined by the M&Ms' dyed coating, so use a portion that you will not mind ruining.
• Fill the metric measuring glass with 100 milliliters (ml) of water. If you intend to eat some of the wet M&Ms after this activity is completed, remember to clean the measuring glass carefully before you fill it with water.
• Line up 10 M&Ms on their flat side, end to end, on the clay. Make sure the line is straight and flat and that each M&M is touching the next, with no gaps in between. You can poke them into the clay to keep them in a neat row.
• Measure the line of M&Ms in cm and divide this number by 10. This gives you the long diameter of a single M&M candy. What is the long diameter of an M&M candy? Write this measurement down.
• Divide the long diameter by two. This gives you the long radius of a single M&M candy. What is the long radius of an M&M candy? Write this down.
• Remove the M&Ms from the clay.
• Now line up the 10 M&Ms on their side so that you are measuring across the short side. Again, use the clay to hold them in a neat row in which each M&M touches the next.
• Measure the line of M&Ms and divide this number by 10. This gives you the short diameter of a single M&M candy. What is the short diameter of an M&M candy? Write this down.
• Divide the short diameter by two. This gives you the short radius of a single M&M candy. What is the short radius of an M&M candy? Write this down.
• Now you are ready to measure the actual volume of the M&M with a water-displacement test. Make sure that the metric measuring glass has exactly 100 ml of water in it (check by looking at the bottom of the meniscus).
• Dump 100 M&Ms into the glass of water. (If you want to eat soggy M&Ms later, use fresh M&Ms during this stage since the ones you used previously may have clay on them.) What is the new water level of the glass? Write this down.
• Subtract 100 ml from the new water level. Divide this number by 100. This is the actual volume of a single M&M in ml (the same as cubic centimeters). What is the volume of one M&M? Write this down.
• You will now be making some volume calculations using different formulas to see which one best calculates the volume of an M&M. Go to the Unit-Free Volume Calculators page at Mississippi State University.
• Click on the "Full Sphere" link. For the "Radius" box, enter the long radius you measured for a single M&M and click "Calculate." What is the M&M volume using its long radius? Write this down.
• Now for the "Radius" box, enter the short radius instead. What is the M&M volume using its short radius? Write this down.
• Go back to the Unit-Free Volume Calculators page and click on the "Cylinder" link. For the "Outer Radius" box, enter the long radius; for the "Inner Radius" box, enter zero; and for the "Height" box, enter the short diameter. What is the M&M volume using the cylinder formula? Write this down.
• Go back and click on the "Ellipsoid" link. For the "Major Axis" and "Minor Axis" boxes, enter the long diameter (for both). And for the "Vertical Axis" box, enter the short diameter. What is the M&M volume using the ellipsoid formula?
• How do each of the different calculated volumes compare to the actual volume that you measured? Which ones were more and which ones were less? Which calculation came the closest? Which formula do you think is the best one to use for an M&M candy?
• Extra: Another way to look at your data is to calculate the percent difference between each calculation and the actual volume measurement. You can do this by dividing your answer using each formula by the actual volume. Which formulas give you an answer that is closest to, or most different from, the actual volume based on percent difference?
• Extra: You can use this same experiment to find the best formula to calculate any other volume. Try using it for an egg, a football, an apple, a bar of soap, other types of candies or any other irregularly shaped object. Just make sure that you choose an object that can be safely submerged in water! Which formula is the best?
• Extra: The shape of a candy can affect how well many of those candies pack together. Use the water displacement test on a couple differently shaped candies to determine the actual volume of a single candy. Then fill a measuring glass with a certain amount of each type of candy, one type at a time (without water). Divide the volume the candy took up by the number of candies to determine how much space one candy took up, on average, when taking packing into account. How much space does each type of candy take up in the measuring glass (when packing is taken into account) compared with the actual volume of one candy? In other words, which types of candies pack together the best? How do you think their shape affects this?

This is what's called hell!Pros: It looks nice. Cons: I had this watch die on me a couple of months ago. I figured it was the battery that died. I got it back from the company a couple of days ago. Figured it would at least be adjusted for, peferrably my area, but I'd accept even half way around the world! But no, the date was 10 days off and the week day setting was off too. I read the directions on how to setup these two items, but it doesn't work that way. If you want to set up the date, you have to go forwards 24 hours to move it one day! You're suppose to be able to setup the week day the same way, but that's not working right either! And good luck locking the main stem after setting it. It will keep turning the time after you are just trying to lock it! So you can't set the time correctly! Other Thoughts: DO NOT SPEND THE MONEY ON THIS! Did you find this review helpful? |
Do not purchase a Precimax watchPros: It looks nice but will not keep time. Cons: It was broken when I received it. I couldnot change the time w/o changing the date.. I sent it in they repaaired it and when it came back it kept stopping all the time.It is a lemon. Do not purchase this watch Other Thoughts: I have had this watch for a few months and it has never worked corectly even after I had it repaired once. It came back with another problem...it kept stopping. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good buyPros: The watch feels sturdy in your hand and looks great. The black finish is easy to polish smudges out of and it has not shown a scratch yet, though I wear it about 5 of 7 days. The hour/month/day triple dials are a nice feature as well. Cons: None that I have come across Other Thoughts: There was a Citizen watch of similar design to this one I was looking at as well, at almost 3 times the cost. At the low price I got this watch I would not hesitate. I haven't a clue why someone would wear this watch into the water, I have a sport Timex for that kind of thing, but to each his own. It serves my casual daily use very well and I have gotten compliments on it as well. Glad I took the plunge and finally got me a decent watch. The hands are also glow in the dark, which is a nice touch. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
JunkPros: None Cons: Made in China (stamped on the inside of the back plate.) Not made is Switzerland. Other Thoughts: Do not buy. 5 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Wearing it right now!Pros: Very sturdy steel construction, glass lens, and paint. I work at a grocery store and it takes some bumps on the shelves but no scratches and gets plenty of compliments. It is also easy to set since there is only one screw on the side and 3 positions. Haven't really used the chronometer yet... Cons: A little heavy but you get used to it pretty quick... Other models could come in aluminum or titanium but then you're just paying for the materials. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
This is the most Beautiful watch I have ever owned.Pros: This is a beautiful piece, Very heavy, very strong. I am not going to talk about the features as you can clearly see what it does. I get rave reviews everywhere I go with this watch. Everyone wants it. I picked it up when it was on sale for 89$ kicking myself for not buying several of them. Cons: Resetting the date to the correct date is a pain in the donkey. It gave instructions on how to do it easy, I gollowed them to a T yet it would not work so i had to wind for several minutes(felt like hours) to get the appropriate date. That aside it isnt really a con. Other Thoughts: The first one of these i received was defective. the watch hands were not aligned properly, it would never be able to tell accurate time. Mr. Watch replaced it no problem and they were very helpfull and responsive to my inquirys. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
A Great ValuePros: I just got this and am impressed with the seller and the watch itself. This thing is SOLID! The black stainless steel is a very bold look, it is a piece of art on your wrist. As stated in previous review, an inexpensive link adjustment was needed for a suitable fit. If you are on the fence with this one - grab it. Cons: None Other Thoughts: It's an impressive piece and beautifully packaged. I'm purchasing two more for graduation and Xmas gifts... 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Solid WatchPros: This watch is Excellent for the price. It is HEAVY so be sure to have the strap adjusted tight. It cost me 8 bucks at a local Jeweler to have it adjusted. It looks great and all the features are easy to use. The manual is a bit vague, but a few minutes of looking at pictures and you will be able to navigate your watch with ease. Cons: None 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Foursquare has started using crowdsourced maps on its desktop site, ditching the Google Maps API that it had used since launch.
This comes as the site embraces the OpenStreetMap movement, which is a Wikipedia-style effort to create free world street maps curated by its users.
Foursquare's new interface is designed by start-up MapBox and for users it means that the maps, icons and colours will be slightly different the next time they log on.

F-commerce is proving to be a tough nut to crack for many big high street retailers.
Major brands like Gap, J.C. Penney, Nordstrom and Banana Republic have shut down their Facebook stores in recent months after the predicted boom in socially driven sales failed to materialise.
Yet thousands of small and medium sized businesses are making a good living from f-commerce through integrated sales platforms such as Payvment.
Payvment currently powers 150,000 stores and adds 1,500 more each week, accounting for 80% of Facebook shopping
So what is the future for f-commerce and where do the opportunities lie?
We spoke to Payvment CEO Christian Taylor to find out why he thinks the big brands failed and how SMEs are getting it right.

Comments about Big Agnes Lynx Pass 3 Tent - 2012 Closeout:
Bought this as an upgrade from the usual Coleman purchases, and quickly saw the differences the higher-quality tent had: easy to set up solo, aluminum vs fiberglass poles, and dry after heavy rain. I even used the attached fly lines as a clothes line for cycling gear-perfect.
Just spent 7 nights in it on a cycling trip, which ranged from 80F & heavy rain two nights in a row, to 37-40F lows the rest of the week. My only drawback to the tent is ventilation; perhaps a standard problem for any tent. Even rolling up the center fly didn't help much, as the mesh is minimal & very high.
Best Uses
Comments about Big Agnes Lynx Pass 3 Tent - 2012 Closeout:
Bought this closeout for a bomb proof shelter for six days backpacking in the Smokies with three people. A bit tight for three, but great protection from the elements. We experienced wind gusts up to 50 mph, two days of cold rain, and some light snow/cold conditions. After tying down the rainfly, the tent stopped compressing during the wind. Stayed bone dry, and reasonably warm without any internal condensation. And the fly stays off the tent, keeping condensation away.
Really great quality, durability, and function. A bit heavy for backpacking, but we split the tent up between three of us. Glad to add it to my collection of tents for a 3.5 season bombproof option.
Service and delivery comments:
As usual, REI delivered quickly in perfect condition.

Comments about Big Agnes Lynx Pass 3 Tent - 2012 Closeout:
I've only set this up inside the house, but hope to use it for car camping and short, easy backpacks for a long time. The design seems a bit lacking in airflow, which could make for a hot night in humid summer conditions but it could also help with warmth in shoulder season. It would sleep three adults if need be, certainly a couple and a small child would be fine in there. Nice headroom and covered porch. The pole design was interesting but seems to work great. I'd love two doors and a pound lighter weight, but for this price I think this might be the best value in a mid-weight tent available.
Best Uses
Comments about Big Agnes Lynx Pass 3 Tent - 2012 Closeout:
Bought this tent to use for Boy Scout Campouts. It's roomy enough for two, with gear, the vestibule is adequate for storing a backpack or two, plus shoes, but the most impressive thing to me was that we used it on a very windy night and it held up very well compared to most of the tents around us. I'm not too keen on the pole configuration because it's a little awkward to set up, but not so much that I'd give it a "con" rating here.
Best Uses
Comments about Big Agnes Lynx Pass 3 Tent - 2012 Closeout:
I spent 10 weeks living out of this tent on the North Slope of Alaska during the summer. It performed admirally. The pole configuration was a little tricky to figure out at first, but once i learned it, set-up's a snap. I like the pole design now as there's really only two poles to keep track of if setting up in dark, rain, or under heavy mosquito bombardment. This tent works well in cool/cold (<45F) since only the top is mesh. Sometimes in modern all mesh tents i feel like I'm in a wind tunnel. However, the down-side of that is in warm weather when the sun hits it, it becomes an oven. I woke up cooked on a couple of warmer days. That kind of functioned like an alarm clock, keeping me from the lazy. The tent was sturdy. The wind on the tundra can be brutal (sometimes I really miss trees), but the tent held strong through out. For such a roomy tent it folds small and is light enough for backpacking. The only real issue i have with the tent is the stupid zippers. The fly zipper continuely got caught on the fly, which really sucks when your trying to out run a mosquito swarm. The tent zippers were not as bad but still unimpressive. Come on, Big Agnes! you build a wonderful tent then skimp on the zippers? All'n'all, great tent that i'd recommend to any, as long as they're not using it in hot weather. I look foreward to another field season sleeping with Big Agnes. Shout out to Toolik! Lakes Rule!

Product ListingPros: Good 8 port switch Cons: none Other Thoughts: The product page on your website does need to be modified to show the item as a 8 port switch instead of 5 so customers like myself are not confused . Did you find this review helpful? |
Great little switchPros: Got this network switch cause I was running out of ports in my network this thing is still in use on the far end of my offices still works still fast no problems Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
It WorksPros: Just plug in the ethernet patch cables, power it on, and it works very well. Only slightly warm to the touch. Comes with snap-on feet for vertical usage. Small footprint even when horizontal. Port activity lights are actually numbers so you can easily see which ports are active. Attractive looks are nice for a home office. Cons: Port activity lights are very bright - not a big deal though. Other Thoughts: Truly plug and play. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
works finePros: has been working with out a hitch for over 3 years Cons: not gig? but gig was very expensive back then 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
great switch for internet connectionPros: low heat, no noise, easy to use, all ports can be uplinks. great to be used between ISP router, VPN gateways and firewalls. In the netgear switch we brought in last five years, there has no one failed at all. Cons: can not be wall mount. Other Thoughts: great indicator lights, very visible. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Works alright, not terrible fastPros: Easy to set up, work okay, no problems with it. Cons: It's ugly and it isn't very fast. Other Thoughts: It's alright but a bit expensive. Don't get it if you don't like ugly things or need something really fast. I was going to get a D-Link switch but NewEgg stopped selling it. Did you find this review helpful? |
Classy little devicePros: It's attractive, small, and inexpensive (after rebate) and it just works. Cons: It's rather light, so stiff/heavy cables may frustrate your attempts to position it just so. On the other hand, it's presumably no heavier than it needs to be in order to do its job. Other Thoughts: If 8 ports of 100 Mb is all you need, look no further. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good affordable replacementPros: Can't beat the price, especially with the rebate. Needed to replace old Netgear swtich that got hit during thunderstorm (granted it was 5+ years old, and only knocked out 4 of 8 ports). Good quality, reliable product at a great price! Cons: none...works as promised Other Thoughts: I liked the old style better, where the ports and indicator lights were on the front (rather than ports on back now) just made me have to re-route a bunch of stuff which was a pain. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good Switch, Bad BrickPros: Fast, reliable, attractive, jumbo frame support. Cons: AC adapter Other Thoughts: After 18 months, switch began randomly rebooting, dropping ports to 100 mbps, etc. Based on another review here, swapped the AC adapter for one out of the junk box. That fixed the problem. Did you find this review helpful? |
Got too much network stuff?Pros: Got too much network stuff, and need more ports? I've never had any trouble with Netgear equipment. This unit is not exception, and does the job just fine. I have a small home network and was adding a Netgear NAS unit and a network printer. I just needed a few more ports. This unit does the job with flying colors. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Simple, easy, and does just what it's supposed to. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

I decided to use a simplistic illustrative style with type for these pieces - love is a beautifully detailed emotion and I wanted to show this with my designs. Flowers have strong connotations with love and as they are perceived as the ideal gift to give to your loved ones, both men and women, they seemed the perfect subject.
I chose four different descriptions of the word love on my cards. The words are powerful and mean a lot to me so I hope they will ring true to others in love too. I made it so a couple of the designs could also be given to family members or loved ones.
I decided to try a number of different colour combinations, which I am very happy with. The hot pink works well against the more muted colours and I produced a blue and green one for those who may not like pink!

By MELINDA WILLIAMS
Clipper Staff Writer
FARMINGTON — Davis County Sheriff Todd Richardson wants to set the minds of county residents at ease about the direction the nation is headed with gun control laws.
"Take a deep breath and remember we're at the beginning of the process," Richardson said last week, after an open house about the issue at the sheriff's office.
Richardson also shared his views of a letter to President Barak Obama signed by 28 of Utah's 29 sheriffs, including Richardson. All 28 are members of the Utah Sheriff's Association, excluding only Salt Lake County Sheriff Jim Winder.
The letter informs the president that Utah's sheriffs "will enforce the rights guaranteed by our citizens by the Constitution. No federal official will be permitted to descend upon our constituents and take from them what the Bill of Rights — in particular Amendment II — has given them."
Some are calling the letter premature, Richardson said, in that no changes have been made in gun control legislation, "but it's really not premature," he said. "We're going into the gun control debate on the national scene and the letter is meant to let the president and Congress know our feelings. It's not meant to rile anyone but to lay out what we deem constitutional."
That being said, Richardson reminded about 40 people about the Brady Bill, which requires background checks on individuals purchasing guns. That bill didn't stop individuals from owning guns.
"We've walked down this path before," he said.
Most of those at the open house were concerned their Second Amendment rights would be "trampled by the federal government," Richardson said. "I wanted to put their minds at ease, and tell them to let the process work."
Richardson is not opposed to every part of the president's 23-point executive order on gun control.
The sheriff agrees there needs to discussion on mental health issues and that guns need to be kept out of the hands of restricted persons. He also agrees on required background checks.
"We absolutely need these types of discussions," he said.
Read more about gun control and the training local police officers receive in the Jan. 31 edition of the Clipper.

A Muslim Community, Tarred Again
By Guest Contributor Zahir Janmohamed
Seventeen years later, it is hard to imagine someone—let alone a major organization like the UN—using this archaic, Orientalist term to describe Islam. Americans know so much about Islam these days that I am frequently asked by strangers if I am Shia or Sunni.
But every once in a while—and particularly more often in an election year—there are reminders that the rise in awareness has not corresponded to the rise in sympathy towards Islam and Muslims. The recent comment by Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) that long time aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Huma Abedin is a mole for the Muslim Brotherhood is just the latest example of this hysteria.
I do not worry about Abedin. A person of her intelligence and clout can withstand these attacks. I worry about Muslim high school and college students who wonder why they should even enter politics if they will, like Abedin, be constantly scrutinized because of their faith.
In 1999, I was an intern in Washington, DC, when I heard Abedin and Suhail Khan, a Muslim Republican himself accused of being an extremist, speak to the Muslim Public Service Network. It was Abedin and Khan who convinced me that there was—and is—space for Muslims in politics.
I remember Abedin spoke about traveling with then First Lady Hillary Clinton to the funeral for the King of Morocco. Abedin said her background as a Muslim helped inform Clinton of the Islamic etiquette at funerals. I was star-struck—and admittedly a bit love-struck—as she spoke about hanging out with the First Family. After her presentation, she handed out packets of M&Ms with the logo from Air Force One. I kept that packet for years, until a build-up of mold forced me to toss it out.
Three years later, I moved to Washington, DC, to start my policy career. I worked for a State Department grantee, was one of the youngest directors at Amnesty International, and most recently served as a foreign-policy aide in the US House of Representatives.
But even as I rose through the ranks of Washington, DC, I continued to face constant scrutiny over my faith. When I interviewed at a human-rights organization, I was asked more than once if I am willing to condemn suicide bombing and if I am comfortable supporting gay marriage. I told the interviewer that no self-respecting human rights advocate supports suicide bombing and opposes gay marriage. The answer did not suffice. To get the job, I had to spell it out: I am against suicide bombing; I am for gay marriage.
This happened in government agencies as well. In an interview for a research position on South Asian affairs at a US bureau, I was asked to state my views on Israel. And I have, sadly, taken it as a given that in interviews I will be asked what kind of Arab I am. When I say that I am the "Indian kind of Arab," few understand—or appreciate—the joke.
In my most recent job interview, the head of an NGO asked how devout I am in my Islamic faith. Later that night, I pulled out of the interview process, packed up the rest of my belongings, and moved across the country to Oakland.
Muslims have internalized this discrimination, too—when I worked for Amnesty International, Muslim groups called me to have a rep speak at their event. When I suggested that I speak, Muslim groups often insisted that I invite a non-Muslim instead. "We want someone who can connect with more people," they said.
I have learned not to talk about this. There are costs of sharing these anecdotes, and to succeed in DC is to remember its code: DC is small; everyone knows each other; be grateful for what you have achieved; people will talk.
But our silence is eroding careers. Because in this outrage over Bachman's comments, we miss an important fact: the smearing of Abedin and other Muslim policy professionals is working to raise a level of suspicion of Muslims, Arabs, and South Asians that echoes far outside the Republican right. When I showed up with a Pakistani-American woman to the Obama campaign office in Virginia in 2008, we were told that it was not a "good idea" for the two of us to go door-to-door for Obama. They suggested we stay back and work the phones instead.
I am not sure what advice to give young Muslims anymore. In 2009, I was working on the Hill when a few members of Congress called for a House investigation into whether Muslim interns on Capitol Hill were acting as spies for Muslim civil liberty groups. Names of Muslim interns and staff members were printed on blogs, often with doctored quotes and facts.
I remember sitting with a 20-year-old Pakistan American Muslim Congressional intern, Ali, in the Rayburn House Office Building café on a Friday afternoon. We had just returned from the Juma congregational prayers where we prayed in a basement room under the US Capitol dome—a remarkable testament to this country's religious freedom.
"Is it worth it?" he asked. "Is it possible?"
"Of course," I said. I echoed the advice given to me by Abedin and Khan. "Yes, it is worth it."
And I still believe that. But, on some days, I no longer do.

I have to remind myself often, as in this case, to remember advice from an intelligent guy I know (HY). Essentially, to never lose hope, no matter how bad things get. Thanks Zahir, heres to our idealistic days at Cal. In hopes I still have some, Lamia Kadir (Austin, TX)

Sometimes I sit back and wonder what the hell has happened to this country. The hypocrisy of it all is astounding. Why should any Muslim person (or any minority for that matter) be held personally responsible for all the wrongs committed by others? We don't make those demands of Christians and certainly not white people. The KKK, for all its murders, lynchings, and terrorist actions, still gets dismissed as not adhering to "true Christianity" by fellow Christians; however, when Muslims the world over say that groups like Al-Qaeda likewise don't adhere to "true Islam" they're immediately shouted down. But sadly this is what's considered effective to many in government – appease the bigotries of the masses and thereby keep them in the dark about the real problems this country faces (like the economy and the increasingly oligarchical role of corporations in our government).

What a well-written article. I think you brought up an important point; Bachmann's smear campaign will have some long-lasting effects on the community.
The struggle for equality is not an easy one; but it can not be abandoned. We must all press on

Wonderful essay, Zahir. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us.
.my dad was also a doctor – raised in a Jewish orphanage. He hid his religious identity ,changed the family name,and i sensed something was terribly wrong. I converted to Judaism in 1974. Im now age 74. I am so sorry a Semetic sister or brother experienced thee same secrets borne from bigotry and shame. We can continue to make change. Salaam.

As a white Muslim convert mother of two Arab American daughters, one with a Poli Sci degree currently working for a non-profit agency serving refugees, and another who is a junior co-majoring in Poli Sci and International Relations, hoping to work for the State Dept., this article gives me pause. It saddens me that anyone would face these challenges in organizations that one would think should be more open minded and educated about these issues. No one should have to compromise by downplaying their conviction in their personal belief system.
I'm glad that the news coverage I've seen on this calls it out as a smear campaign to bolster the career of Bachman et al. They have pointed out that this connection is not really a connection at all. However, I really wish they would take the extra step and call it out for being a disgusting ploy that relies on people's racist fears. Racism goes against American ideals. The problem isn't with Muslims in politics, health care, education or any other part of American life. The problem is with people who use racism for their own gain.
Thank you for this article and for speaking out when you can. We need more people like you. Please don't give in. -

Many thanks to you all for your comments. As the author of this piece, I would like to change one small line. In the line that reads "to raise a level of suspicion of Muslims, Arabs, and South Asians," I should have also included Iranians. My apologies for the omission and thanks to those who pointed out my mistake.

I'm an American Muslim intelligence officer in a big three letter agency and I'd like to commend Zahir on this article. I'll add my voice and note that I've actually received more hurtful comments from my supposed liberal colleagues than from older conservatives. This may be due to generational differences, but it bothers me to no end that self-described Obama fans have no problem calling me a terrorist jokingly (despite my work in decimating terrorist groups). The point is that even while someone like Bachmann is openly trying to thwart any advancement by Muslims into the policy world, there remains a latent undercurrent of racism among those who are supposed to be above it all.
Shaheda shahab
Thanks Zahir for your bold article. Those who have not gone through these sufferings never understand the pain.
thoughtful remarks and intriguing bio.
White supremacy in this country has always relied on demonizing most americans as being somehow foreign and "unamerican". Its a scare tactic to reduce diversity in government and we can't stand for it.
thanks zahir for saying what so many of us have felt!

- Can't find your size? Place a special order inquiry for this item.
Some Curves/Average Height
these are great...wore them out dancing with the girls and they stayed on all night even though i was sweaty. nice to feel secure when going braless and to know nothing will pop out and be caught on camera! wore the B size, and they covered nicely and gave a teeny bit of support. The gold stars and lighter basics are genius.
Chicago, IL
Some Curves/Tall
I love these! They are the kind of item that you don't even know you needed until you buy them. I am in between an A/B cup, and the B's fit nicely without overwhelming my petite curves up top. I love that you can stay covered up (stylishly) without annoying slipping or gaping strapless bras...no more tugging on my bra when dancing! They also round you out nicely, which is one of the reasons I like these so much. I can't stand how my boobs look without a bra bc of the shape, but these give them a nice, smooth curve that looks great under clothes. Yay for Nippies!

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) Here's something that's bothered me for a long time. As a travel writer, I often run into the pervasive myth that travel has to be bad for your career. It's fun, sure, but a beach isn't an office and a sarong isn't a suit; smart people, by extension, keep their heads down and spend as little time away as possible.
I had this debate with a career counselor once while I was still in school. Although I wanted to discuss alternative careers to a traditional law firm, she was having none of it. Get a real job, she told me, and save the passport for your vacations.
This couldn't be more wrong. Travel doesn't have to be bad for your career. In fact, with a little forethought, some time abroad can be down right good for it. For example...
1. Learn a Language
"Wherever you are, try to speak the language," says Simon Shields, a Canadian lawyer who five years ago moved his entire practice online so he could travel the world. "No matter how abominably you screw it up. Even if they laugh they will appreciate it and it will break the ice. Then they will speak to you in passable English, and correct you whenever you try their language again. Voilà: instant friend and patron."
If you're going to be in one country for a while, why not learn how to order coffee like a local? With everyone speaking the same (and very foreign) language, you'll pick it up a lot faster than by just going to classes back home and much more usefully too.
Check a nearby university, or ask around with the local expat community. If nothing else, pick up a few online courses before you leave. (Based on personal experience, this writer strongly recommends Rosetta Stone.) However you do it, coming back with the basics under your belt will both add an impressive line to your resume and show that you didn't spend your time overseas just getting drunk with Australian backpackers.
Plus, it's a lot of fun.
2. Use the Time for Scouting
You know what's actually worse than having a job you hate? Living in a place you can't stand. You get to leave your job at some point during the day, but you're stuck in that hometown no matter what.
Travel can be a fantastic opportunity to prevent that.
For anyone making a change in his career or location, taking some time to scout a new potential home can be a fantastic opportunity. You can use some vacation time to do this, or take a little longer. Get to know the feel of a place before you move there.
