Manufacturing is the lifeblood of Greenville County's economy and it directly employs 12 percent of the workforce. Greenville County, as well as the state of South Carolina, has invested for decades in efforts to attract new industries and, perhaps even more importantly, to develop the highly skilled workforce needed to recruit those industries and then persuade them to expand here.
There's room to grow Greenville County's manufacturing base, and doing so would create even more well-paying jobs and enhance the overall economic picture of an area that despite many successes still has much room for improvement. Developing the workforce needed to attract skilled manufacturing industries to Greenville County is necessary, and the Enterprise Campus that Greenville Technical College hopes to build could prove vital in creating that pipeline of trained workers for manufacturers.
Greenville certainly has room to grow, starting with the fact its per capita income lags behind the metropolitan areas of Charleston and Columbia. Furthermore, based on statistics cited by the Greenville Chamber of Commerce, there would be $1.59 billion more a year in spendable income in Greenville County if we could raise our per capita income to the national rate from its current level of 81 percent.
And here are some numbers that should concern anyone interested in both protecting and growing Greenville County's manufacturing base: Only 5 percent of the workers in manufacturing are 24 years old or younger, while 21 percent of the workers are 55 or older. Those are troubling numbers that indicate Greenville County may soon not even be able to fill current positions, let alone attract new industries looking for a skilled workforce.
"If word gets out that Greenville County doesn't have skilled employees, it will be hard to recruit industries," Keith Miller president of Greenville Technical College, said in a recent interview. Greenville Tech wants to build an Enterprise Campus aimed at attracting younger people to manufacturing, ensuring there is a pipeline of qualified workers, and providing what is called "accelerator space" for manufacturing entrepreneurs.
The facility would be about 62,500 square feet. Greenville Tech is asking Greenville County Council to approve $25 million in bonds to pay for the Enterprise Campus, and it also is seeking $5 million from the state. Local manufacturers are expected to provide around $5 million in equipment. A key second reading vote on the bond issue comes before Greenville County Council on Tuesday. A negative vote could have repercussions long into Greenville County's future.
"Looking back at history, Greenville County has always supported economic development and technical education," County Councilman Butch Kirven said in a recent interview. "We've come to the point now that it is well-documented that the biggest challenge is the quantity and quality of the workforce needed to meet the demand of global manufacturers. We can step forward or move back."
The Enterprise Campus would be more than a new facility. It would provide state-of-the-art space to train students, and its presence should help attract younger students perhaps inclined to think manufacturing careers are not glamorous or rewarding. It also would help drive innovation by providing an environment where "manufacturers can bring ideas to life, and it should improve manufacturing productivity through worker training and competency testing of new hires," according to an op-ed that ran in this newspaper last week by Mike McCormick, plant manager for Bosch Rexroth in Fountain Inn.
The goals and key features of the Enterprise Campus, according to a white paper from Greenville Tech, include: Create a low-cost/low-risk innovation environment for prototype, new product and process development in manufacturing and other sectors; support economic development by leveraging existing resources of industry and education; build the next-generation workforce through development of the pipeline and incumbent worker training; integrate and align industry-identified competencies into education and training; and support entrepreneurial advances via resources and mentoring.
The overarching theme behind the idea is to develop local talent for manufacturing. "The competition is too stiff to say, we'll get talent from out of state," Miller said.
Providing the funding to build Greenville Tech's Enterprise Campus will be a test in political courage for some members of Greenville County Council. The taxes required to pay for the bonds would be extraordinarily small, and in many parts of the county there most likely would not be a net tax increase because the millage is expected to decrease a bit next year.
Councilman Willis Meadows, who was identified in a Friday Greenville News story by Rudolph Bell as "leaning" toward supporting the project, said, "I guess I would equate this as sometimes you have to spend money to make money and sometimes we have to tax in order to keep taxes down in the long run." That's a great philosophy to guide Greenville County Council when it votes on the bond issue needed for the Enterprise Campus.

DH put in for a job in Warner Robins. My 3 year old has Autism, and I'm looking for resources, and general info about the area. Can anyone help me out?
Sponsored Links | |||
Hi, isign. I live in Perry, which is right near Warner Robins and have a nine-year-old Aspie. I'm not sure what kind of info you're looking for in terms of autism. Our son goes to a psychiatrist in WR that we really like and we have used a therapist in Macon we really liked. Our experience with the schools have been hit and miss. We went to one primary school that was excellent and many schools are now offering more programs.
As far as general info, the WR/Perry area is a predominantly conservative, Christian one. (No judgment, just info...) There is a lot of shopping and dining in WR and in nearby Macon, which also has a few neat museums. The Air Force base in WR has a museum which kids seem to really like. There is a wildlife preserve in Perry that is neat to go hiking in (watch out for hunters in season) and a few state parks nearby. There's a big fair every year in Perry that folks really like.
The weather is pretty warm most of the year, with the hottest time of year being July-September. We've had snow/sleet the past two years in winter, but that's really not common.
If you need any more info, let me know.

UN Security Council Resolutions
Other aspects
United Nations Security Council Resolution 418, adopted unanimously on 4 November 1977, imposed a mandatory arms embargo against South Africa.[1] This resolution differed from the earlier Resolution 282, which was only voluntary. The embargo was subsequently tightened and extended by Resolution 591.
The ban had a direct impact in some of the following ways:
- Last minute cancellation of the sale of D'Estienne d'Orves-class avisos and Agosta-class submarines by France.[2][3]
- The purchase of Saar 4 class missile boat from Israel, some of which had to be built covertly in South Africa instead.
- South Africa's inability to purchase modern fighter aircraft to counter the air superiority of Cuban Mig 23s over the SAAF in the South African Border War.[4]
- The growth of the modern day multi-billion dollar South African arms industry.
- The end of shipments by the United States of enriched uranium fuel for South Africa's SAFARI-1 research nuclear reactor.[5]
The embargo was lifted by Resolution 919[6] following democratic elections in 1994.
Circumvention of the embargo[edit]
The apartheid government worked around the embargo in a number of ways to source military technology and components that it was unable to procure openly. This resulted in United Nations Security Council Resolution 591 being passed in 1986, which tightened up some of the loopholes and extended the embargo.
Local production[edit]
Many armaments were wholly designed and manufactured in South Africa, as reflected by the growth and export business of Armscor.
Notable operations that came to light were:
- The 1984 case of the Coventry Four. Four South African businessmen in the UK were found to be operating a front company on the behalf of Kentron that was sourcing materiel in defiance of the ban.
- The arrest and imprisonment of Gerald Bull for developing the G5 howitzer for Armscor
- The nuclear weapons programme reached its peak during the embargo; According to David Albright, components for the programme were imported without the knowledge of the international community, or put to ingenious uses that had not been envisaged by the enforcers of the ban.[5]
Dual purpose equipment[edit]
Computer and air traffic control radar systems ostensibly destined for civilian use were diverted to the military.[7]
Use of foreign specialists[edit]
The South African government was able to hire the services of foreign technicians, for example Israeli specialists who had worked on the Lavi fighter aircraft were recruited by Atlas Aircraft Corporation to work on the Atlas Cheetah and Atlas CAVA.[7]
Licensed production[edit]
In somes cases, foreign armaments were simply produced under license in South Africa, as in the case of the Warrior class strike craft, the R4 assault rifle and Atlantis Diesel Engines.
Co-operation with other states[edit]
South Africa exchanged military technology with other states in a similar position to itself, notably through the Israel–South Africa Agreement.[8]

My only thought is, since it is the number of ways to permute items. Hence, since it is the number of ways to permute items (if you have items, but stabilize 1, then you are only permuting items).
Hi! It's me again with another counting problem.
I am trying to find the order of the following set (where is fixed): , the stabilizer of 1 in .
Now, I have calculated 4 of these:
n = 2: so
n = 3: so
n = 4: so
I also did n = 5 which gives:
The pattern seems to be that , but the examples don't help me to understand the counting in general, which was the intent of doing the examples in the first place.
Any thoughts?
Yes, it is as you say. (sighs) I was hoping to get back before someone answered. If I had calculated this with the nth position (the stabilizer of the highest place) I would have seen it right away. I was thinking about it way too hard and I got lost in it.
Sometimes this is called the "fixed group" (or isotropy group) of 1, that is: the elements of Sn that fix 1. It should be obvious this is, in fact a subgroup of Sn, because it is closed under composition (the multiplication of Sn).
There are a couple of way to approach this:
the first is to show that the mapping:
given by:
, for k = 1,2,...,n-1 is an isomorphism.
The second is to use the orbit-stabilizer theorem:
Now because we have the n-1 transpositions (1 k), along with the identity map, it is clear that |Sn(1)| = n (the orbit of 1 has size n, because Sn acts TRANSITIVELY on the n letters (the set of cardinality n...in this case {1,2,...,n}) it permutes). Thus:
|Stab(1)| = n!/n = (n-1)!.

Amy Donaldson: LDS boxer B.J. Flores hopes his next fight is for a title
SALT LAKE CITY — Most people want help now and then.
They appreciate a hand, and when circumstances are toughest, they long for company.
But cruiserweight contender B.J. Flores is not most people.
The 33-year-old calls the boxing ring "the most lonely place," and yet he made that place his home.
"I'm a very stubborn person — good or bad," said the accomplished pro boxer who was in Salt Lake City this past weekend to watch amateurs compete for national Golden Gloves championships at the Salt Palace. "But in boxing, it actually helps me because I've had to be very independent. You're in the ring by yourself. It's not a team sport. If you aren't ready, it's going to show when you go up there. There is nowhere to hide when you're in the ring."
The last thing Flores wants to do is hide.
In fact, he sat ringside at the Golden Gloves tournament chiseled and ready to take on the world's champions, if only they'll give him a shot.
"I'm not trying to fight anyone else," said Flores, who now lives in Las Vegas. "There's only two guys I want to fight, and those are the two champions."
If his next fight isn't for a title, then it isn't his next fight. And with a record of 22-1-1 and national rankings that have him as high as the No. 2 or No. 3 boxer in the world, he feels like he deserves a shot.
"These things are tough to negotiate sometimes," he said. "You've got to stay ready. I run, lift weights, do plyometrics, CrossFit — everything. ... I put in a lot of years of grinding."
Now 33, Flores, who also works for NBC as a commentator, believes he has four or five quality years left in the sport, and he wants to make the most of them.
Flores' ties to Utah begin with his faith. Born in California, he was raised in Missouri where he became an all-state football player worthy of an offer to play football at BYU. It was a dream that many young LDS athletes nurtured, including Flores, and he accepted the offer.
His senior year he was named an all-state wide receiver in the fall, and then he won the national Golden Gloves championship as a heavyweight.
That was the moment he first began believing he could earn a living in professional sports. And while he loved football, he said he always felt he had more talent in boxing.
Still, he accepted a scholarship to BYU because he felt it was the right place for him to be. He redshirted his freshman season and then went on a mission to Culiacan, Mexico. He said the poverty was almost unimaginable, but the spirit of the people was inspiring.
"We didn't have running water most places, not a lot of floors, houses built out of (particle board), no carpet, no tile, and people were just happy. It was actually amazing. It was a great experience."
He returned home and competed in the Olympic trials in 2000.
"I got a bronze medal in the Olympic Trials," he said, "but I didn't make the USA team. I thought, 'What am I going to do? My boxing career is over.' Needless to say, I was only 20 years old and I didn't look at the big picture."
He enrolled at Snow College that fall and played football for the Badgers. In the spring, he went to school at Mesa (Ariz.) Community College and he boxed.
"I won the U.S. Championships in 2001 and 2002," he said.

It seems so long ago—certainly more than 52 weeks—since we were all a fluster at the audacity of Lana Del Rey. Her crimes, it seemed, were legion and very, very serious—far beyond whether her music was good. She was not good on Saturday Night Live. Her lips, perhaps, had collagen in them. A few years ago, she was playing A&R showcases with hired guns in an ugly blouse, and now she was all over Pitchfork like she was a real-deal indie ingénue, but it turned out she already had a deal with Interscope. Her name was not actually Lana Del Rey, and unlike any artist in the history of ever, she went to private school.
As we bust Hey Kool-Aid–style into the new year with a clean slate and hindsight, it seems fair enough to chalk up our lil' Lana freak-out as part of the continuing and long-standing issue with female ambition and the idea that image consciousness is somehow antithetical to making true art, an insult against rock's visceral heart. It's a problem we tend to have with girls and women more than with the boys (word to Jack White's continuing Campaign 4 Rock 'n' Pop Realness). This past year proved there is a special sort of animus reserved for women—Lana Del Rey, Taylor Swift, and Grimes's Claire Boucher—whose ambitions seemed especially naked and, if you will, feminine.
So it is only natural that young female artists engage us and communicate with their image(s) as much as they do with their music. Image is perhaps an even more effective vehicle for their expression than songs. No girl escapes teenhood without a keen awareness of exactly how the world sees her, what it expects of her; she knows the weight of the world's desire down to the ounce. Young women's arduous fandom of an act is often seen as the very proof of their music's artlessness, so rapt are girls with image that it supersedes any sort of real relationship with the music. And even though Swift and Boucher placed high in this Pazz & Jop—Lana less so (Born to Die, #54 album)—the critique with all three has frequently fallen to the seeming purposefulness of their artifice: their awareness of it; their dutiful maintenance of it.

Weak consensus versus inspiring diversity

We took Del Rey's ambitions personally, as if she was preying upon us, marking us as hornball simps so seduced by her porny licking of her fake/not-fake lips that we'd buy in on whatever she was selling. The offense being? That we'd fall for something so constructed? Or was it the fact of the construction itself?
In the case of Grimes, Boucher's great trespass was mutability. It implied that Visions was not art, but just a parcel to her extended play of dress-up. Through her videos and stage wear, she flirted with Gothic Lolita, manga-fied superheroine, neon-clad Sea Punk. Regardless of what that tells us about Boucher, it reads as immaturity, typical teenage-girl phases rather than a rapid artistic evolution. She doesn't really know who she is; she's merely flitting through whatever strikes her fancy. She is not serious about music. Her playful experimentation was written off as "human meme" (Stereogum) and, most derisively, "a human Pinterest board" (the Onion A.V. Club) for adopting ideas as they inspired her. Perhaps if she stopped dyeing her hair and ditched the MPC for an acoustic and some Bon Iver–grade earnestness, she could be taken seriously.
Part of what made Boucher's work so exciting this year was her zealous courtship of the zeitgeist, the irreverence of her ambition, that her cultural reference points were young and female. She's an autodidactic indie artist who reveres the plasticine qualities of Mariah Carey as her greatest influence. Subversion of manga imagery and lost-in-the-mix baby-voiced cooing are far from overt riot-girl raging that we use to commonly identify/verify feminist messaging in music.
Boucher's merchandising of pussy rings is more overt, though some still write it off as a ploy for attention.
Boucher had the temerity to manufacture merch that wasn't a T-shirt, something that asserted some shade of feminist expression, a rebuttal to the cock-'n'-balls scrawl on every dressing room wall, which is what she claimed. How is a plastic rendering of a vulva so utterly escandalo in the Internet age of 2012? (The gender divide on the pussy-ring reporting is stark and telling of just how and who Grimes connects with.) While Boucher can be faulted for some things—is that a rain stick sample on "Know the Way"?—would she really be a better, more credible artist if she showed less ambition?
Swift, who is only a little younger than Boucher and Del Rey, and seems infinitely more fixed in what she presents, appeared to have a year of evolution for her image, as well. On Red, Swift deflects power with a kind of guilelessness. Love is something that she falls victim to; men are fundamentally the bad actors. She is amid a careful transition from pop's Virgin Queen into an age where it's less of a big deal to sing songs that imply that she has maybe had adult relations or a sleepover or two. Swift is a multimillion-dollar industry unto herself—she cannot simply pull a Miley. Throughout Red, she is frequently seduced, victimized, or unable to steel herself against her own desires. It is a curious thing to watch one of the most powerful cultural forces so carefully abdicate her own might.
Swift's mastery of her own feckless image is as finely honed a piece of work as any of Red's half-dozen singles; it engages so many of the common expectations of girlhood that it presents us with an impossibly perfected persona. Those controlled iterations of Swift are subject to constant remix due to her celebrity status, where her songs conflate with the tabloid fare of her life and create a grander narrative work. Be they peer, cad, or Kennedy, each new Swift boyfriend presents or disproves some song theorem of Red. The latest heavily circulated pap shot, which, this week, is Swift exiting a tropical isle, alone, via small craft, reads as forlorn from a distance of a pixely 30 yards—adding chiaroscuro to "Sad Beautiful Tragic." Swift's got a Joni problem now: The interest in whom she's seeing and speculation over which song is about which dude now obfuscates the merits of her work (though it is hard to suggest any human force could blunt the thundering Max Martin'd chorus of "Trouble," but alas).
To be galled by these three women's advances upon their audiences is to play the Pollyanna about how and why music is sold and produced, how any product gets across the transom to us. In their manipulations and fluid manifestations of their images, they show incredible deftness—a cultural prescience that speaks to their ambition and interest in being understood. All this girlish guile makes their art no less pure.
Wake me up if the music industry manages to cough up someone as interesting as Debbie Harry... I doubt the level of concentration required to achieve genuine artistry can happen in the age of cell phones, as young people are now lashed together with the unit cohesion formerly only known by soldiers in war. Bottom line, Taylor Swift has a cute ass, but did she read Gravity's Rainbow?

Latest Therapeutic hypothermia Stories
LOUISVILLE, Colo., May 25 /PRNewswire/ -- A day after delivering her fourth child at Anaheim Regional Medical Center in Anaheim, California last December, 34-year-old Brynn Ervin suffered a cardiac arrest, the result of massive blood clots lodged in the main arteries that take blood to her lungs.
Acute stroke care and clinical outcomes have improved significantly at hospitals participating in the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association's Get With The Guidelines–Stroke program.
Rapidly cooling a person in cardiac arrest may improve their chance of survival without brain damage, according to research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2009.
NFL players and other athletes who suffer serious or multiple concussions may benefit from ground-breaking research being conducted by scientists at Barrow Neurological Institute at St Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center.
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- The first randomized intra-arrest cooling study has been selected for presentation as a Late Breaking trial during the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions next month.
LOUISVILLE, Colo., Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The number of Arctic Sun(R) users among hospitals ranked top 20 jumped to 90 percent this year from 72 percent last year, Medivance announced today.
Cardiac arrest, a condition in which the heart stops effectively pumping blood through the body, occurs in about 300,000 American adults annually. A cooling therapy for these unconscious cardiac arrest survivors may benefit both their body and their bank account.
A brain-preserving cooling treatment called therapeutic hypothermia is a cost-effective way to improve outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, which claims the lives of more than 300,000 people each year in the United States and leaves thousands of others neurologically devastated.
- Emitting flashes of light; glittering.

simbur999 Jun 12, 2012 5:47 PM (in response to Dpakch)Hi,
That has done the trick, thanks! I found yesterday I could also use LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP=YES on the command line to achieve the result, however we wanted to add to the Property table of the MST. In the case of LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP=YES this did not seem to work, but with IW_DEFAULT_VERB=Read it is working well.
Thanks again,

Tuesday Reads: Obvious Misogyny (at least to us anyway)
Posted: November 18, 2014 Filed under: Hillary Clinton, misogyny, morning reads, Rape Culture, The Media SUCKS, Vagina, War on Women | Tags: agism, Bill Cassidy, European Space Agency, Jean-Paul Goude, Kim Kardashian, Mary Landrieu, Matt Taylor, PhD costume, Racism, Sexism 39 CommentsGood Morning!
I avoid pop culture whenever possible. I admit to being an effete snob about the music, the fashion, the sheeplike behavior of the entire thing. Sometimes, pop culture just forces itself on you to the point you have to just sit down and ask yourself WTF were they thinking? So, with that and a series of face palms, I direct your attention to obvious misogyny with definite agist and racial overtones. Nothing breaks the internet quite like some one who just refuses to see what they've done.
So, first up is an ad that's attacking Senator Mary Landrieu that just makes me want to scream bloody murder. I'm really tired of the entire ploy to make older women irrelevant. This definitely falls into this category and the boyz behind it are like "what, sexist and agist, who me?"
Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu is denouncing an attack ad against her as being sexist because it shows her aging.
The ad, paid for by the Ending Spending Action Fund, suggests Washington has changed Landrieu, 58, over time and uses the age progression to illustrate that change.
Landrieu campaign spokesperson Fabien Levy called the ad "appalling." He said it's an example of Republican challenger Rep. Bill Cassidy and his allies distracting from the issues.
"It is appalling that Congressman Cassidy and his allies would illustrate the senator's age progression with a leading phrase that Washington has 'changed' her," Levy said. "The ad is as classless as it is sexist, and Congressman Cassidy and his allies should remove [it] from television immediately."
It's hard to know what to say to below the belt optics like this that play into the idea of how a woman of a certain age–past the change–is all used up. I see it. Do you? Of course, we've seen this and many other sexist tropes applied to Hillary Clinton and I'm getting prepared for a lot more.
Let me first be transparent here: I'm a Republican, and I'd like nothing more than to see Clinton go down in flames. And, as a recent front-page story in The New York Times noted, many in my party are already seeking to label the former first lady a "has-been" by virtue of her decades on the political stage.
Their case is as follows: Clinton has been in the spotlight in one form or another since the late 1970s when her husband, Bill, first became attorney general in their home state of Arkansas at the age of 30. Ironically, as Times reporter Jonathan Martin pointed out, it was Bill's youthfulness that propelled him to the Arkansas governorship and later the presidency. Now, it could be the inverse that puts the brakes on the Hillary freight train.
There is undoubtedly a lot of spin in this new anti-Clinton narrative. But there are indeed signs that the baby boomers are going to have a tough time winning another presidential race.
That is a really stale link to an article titled "Hillary Clinton is too Old to be President".
The next thing up is one ESA scientist who has all the sympathy the dudebro crowd can muster. He did a major interview about the Rosetta project while wearing a Hawaiian shirt. I generally expect scientists to be quirky so that doesn't bother me at all. What bothered me and many other women is that it was bedecked with the stereotypical male fantasy of a submissive, naked female in fetish wear with space guns. You won't believe the deep denial of the dudebro crowd on this one. I kept seeing nerd guys acting like women were upset because NAKED! Dude, it's not the lack of clothes. It's the impossible body image, the obvious visual references–repeatedly–to the submissive woman, and the overall lack of awareness of the wearer who should know that women frequently feel pushed out of career areas where this kind of subtle, perpetual sexual harassment happens. The scientist cried when he figured it out but the dudebro crowed continues to call us the new puritans because we'd rather have a more female-centric idea of our bodies and expressions of our sexuality. I see it. Do you?
Dr. Matt Taylor, one of European Space Agency scientists responsible for landing a spacecraft, on the surface of a comet, offered a tearful apology today for his tasteless choice in button-downs. On a streamed Google Hangout, hosted by the ESA, Dr. Taylor said he was "very sorry" and called wearing the shirt "a big mistake."
In a post Philae landing-interview, Dr. Taylor was wearing a Hawaiian-style shirt covered with scantily clad women. Many picked up on this outfit choice, and were understandably outraged. A deluge of tweets and responses spilled onto the Internet. (In an aside there was the not shocking discovery that women who tweeted displeasure with the shirt were attacked, and men who tweeted criticism of the shirt were not.)
The shirt itself is pretty tasteless. The women on it are another reinforcement of our icky societal standard of beauty; the women are celebrated for their sex appeal. And the fact that Taylor thought that this was appropriate could point to the fact that he doesn't work with enough women, or that he lacks the judgement to see how this could be offensive. Both are serious and issues.
Young girls are discouraged from the sciences (myself included, but that is a different story). There is also a huge terrible dearth of women in STEM fields, and when women are in those fields they must often contend with harassment, sexism and unequal pay. Because even if a woman does make it through the pipeline into STEM, they are not treated properly.
The shirt was more than just nearly naked women.
However, I think there is a bigger problem. I'll admit I don't know the full gender breakdown of every scientist who worked on the Rosetta mission (and I searched for a list). However, watching the livestream of the Philae landing, during the victory speeches I saw microphone passed from man, to man, to man, and a female master of ceremonies (who had to call someone out for flirting). And on the Google Hangout, where Taylor made his apology, there were two women: one was the moderator, and one lone female scientist. That is a problem.
Hey little girls! Welcome to your STEM career where we constantly remind you that your role as a space engineer is to be Barbarella!!!
Perhaps you'd like a sexy Ph.D costume to go with that doctorate in astrophysics? Yes, yes, I am a humorless feminist on this one. (h/t to Delphyne for this one.)
The "Delicious Women's Ph.D Darling Sexy Costume," available on Amazon, features a "micro mini graduation robe" and cap, but you'll have to provide your own high heels.
Women who actually hold Ph.Ds have started reviewing the costume, and their responses are nothing short of incredible. Here are eight of the best responses:
1. This costume doesn't live up to its name. — Alyssa Picard
Sleeves are too short & have no stripes. Costume does not feature a hood. This is a "sexy BA" at best.
2. This product definitely helps women with Ph.Ds feel sexier. — Dawn Rouse
Like all lady Ph.Ds, I frequently ask myself: "How could I be sexier?"
Delicious costumes has come to my rescue! I can now lecture in my 5 inch gold spiked heels and "barely there" regalia while giving nary a thought to the male gaze and its implications on the prevalence of rape culture in our society.
I fully expect my chili pepper rating on RMP to go through the roof once I begin to greet my students in this costume. Hopefully I can keep my "post structural hegemonies" from engaging in some wardrobe malfunctions. Then again, who cares?
I'm sexy! Forget about the 7 years I spent sweating out a dissertation and engaging in innovative research!
3. The perfect outfit for showing off one's accomplishments. — Mary from MN
When I left my nursing job for graduate school, I was so distressed. I mean what was I going to wear? There were plenty of sexy nurse costumes that I could wear to honor my accomplishments in that profession, but after I attained my PhD there was something missing. I was better educated, but not sexy. Until now. Thank you, Delicious Costumes, for filling the void. You've given women like me who have worked our asses off earning our degrees a way to show our asses off, too. Keep it classy, Amazon.
4. Why wasn't this available in the '90s? — Elizabeth P. Mackenzie
I got my Ph.D. in 1997. If only I had known about this costume. I would have worn it to liven up my doctoral defense. Instead of my committee focusing on the boring experiment they made me do over the course of several years and giving me a three hour long exam, I could have worn this, popped out of a cake, batted my eye lids asked adorably, "Puwease let me have a Ph.D.? I've been so good."
Also, math is hard.
5. Perfect for all graduate student activities! — Tracy L. Brock
Wow! Super-slinky yet surprisingly comfortable for those long nights lounging around grading poorly organized undergrad essays. Thanks to my five-year diet of ramen noodles and caffeine pills, the xs/s size fits me like a glove. I've never felt sexier–or smarter!
6. This outfit failed to get me tenure. Would not recommend. — PassionPhD
I spent 6 years working hard to get my PhD, which was extra hard because I am a lady, and it hurt my ovaries to think so much. After obtaining this advanced degree, the only position I could secure, like the majority in my field, was an adjunct position teaching for less than $2000 a course. Then I got this LadyPhD regalia and my life immediately changed! My department, full of esteemed and very prestigious senior male tenured faculty, saw me walking in the hall, invited me into the department meeting, and right there on the spot, immediately voted to make me a TENURED FULL PROFESSOR.
Sadly, the next morning, I found out it was NOT a faculty meeting that I had wandered into, just professors having an office cocktail party and I was not tenured after all. I WANT MY MONEY BACK. I have student loans to pay off!!
Here are some twitter comments on the Taylor shirt to check out what women and supportive men were saying. You can go find the stunned misogynist comments on your own.
Okay, so here it is. This is the one topic that I really didn't want to write about but am doing it any way. The obviously photoshopped, distorted picture of Kim Kardashian's body was last week's topic. But, I've finally decided I want to take it on. Again, it's not about the nudity. It's not about her being a mother and being nude or sexual. It's the overt misogyny with an objectification of a distorted female form that's the problem. Kim obviously is a willing participant in all of this and seems to thrive on being the subject–or object–of voyeurism.
The problem is that her photos are just the latest run at an old theme from an artist that has used similar pictures to objectify black women as willing exotic savages all ready for pillage. So, here we go with the Kim Kardasian Butt Saga.
The photographer responsible for the image is Jean-Paul Goude, and there's more to know about him than that he's "French" and "legendary." Both those things are also true, but there's this too: his artistic history is fraught with justified accusations of objectifying and exoticizing black women's bodies. This isn't a tangent of his work –- it's what his entire oeuvre is built upon. It's not a coincidence that his 1983 pictorial autobiography is titled Jungle Fever. "Blacks are the premise of my work," the artist told People magazine in 1979, "I have jungle fever."
To create his exoticized images, Goude would photograph black women in poses which ranged from athletic to primitive. He would then literally cut the image into pieces and reassemble it to create something even more formidable. You can see how he pulled off the pre-photoshop manipulation via the infamous photo he created of Grace Jones, with whom he had a turbulent relationship in the '80s, for the artist's now-iconic Island Life album cover:
Criticizing Kim's cover because "it's Photoshopped" is missing the point of his art. As Goude said of the Jones cover, "…unless you are extraordinarily supple, you cannot do this arabesque. The main point is that Grace couldn't do it, and that's the basis of my entire work: creating a credible illusion."
Paper is wrongly attributing the inspiration for Kim Kardashian's cover to a vintage Goude photo called "Champagne Incident." The photo is actually 1976′s "Carolina Beaumont," and it's about more than balancing skills. An innocent mistake perhaps, but the fact that Beaumont is being literally obscured by it seems sadly appropriate.
So, this has not gone unnoticed in places where racism and sexism matter.
So last night while everyone else was arguing over Kim's K's right to show her butt, my focus was on something else entirely. When I looked at the spread all I saw was a not so subtle reincarnation of Saartjie Baartman – imagery that is steeped in centuries of racism, oppression and misogyny. For those who don't know who she is, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:
Sarah "Saartjie" Baartman (before 1790 – 29 December 1815 (also spelled Bartman, Bartmann, Baartmen) was the most famous of at least two Khoikhoi women who were exhibited as freak show attractions in 19th-century Europe under the name Hottentot Venus—"Hottentot" as the then-current name for the Khoi people, now considered an offensive term, and "Venus" in reference to the Roman goddess of love.
Saartjie was a woman whose large buttocks brought her questionable fame and caused her to spend much of her life being poked and prodded as a sexual object in a freak show.
Sound familiar?
But something tells me Kim probably has no clue about the cultural and historic significance of what she's done. Instead, she probably just thought it would be cool to do an edgy photo shoot with famous photographer. And many of you have fallen for that oversimplified stance as well.
I'm the first to admit that some of the work that Jean-Paul Goude has done over the past 30 years has become iconic, particularly his work with his (then-girlfriend) Grace Jones. But the one he chose to recreate for Paper Magazine is problematic for several reasons.
The original shot is of a black woman standing in front of a blue wall while she pops champagne into a glass placed on her rear end. And it's from a book entitled: Jungle Fever.
Let that soak in for a second. Jungle. Fever.
According to a People Magazine article written about the couple in 1979:
Jean-Paul has been fascinated with women like Grace since his youth. The son of a French engineer and an American-born dancer, he grew up in a Paris suburb. From the moment he saw West Side Story and the Alvin Ailey dance troupe, he found himself captivated by "ethnic minorities—black girls, PRs. I had jungle fever." He now says, "Blacks are the premise of my work."
This is a man who boldly told news reporters that his black girlfriend was a "schizo… outrageous bitch"and that at times he would get hysterical and explode in violence during their arguments.
You can learn more about the artist here.
Though he was criticized at the time—and still is—for exoticizing African-American women in his work, a claim that wasn't helped by his book Jungle Fever, Goude's images of Grace Jones at least presented her as a strong female. In some ways, they were arguably feminist, with Goude broadening her shoulders and lengthening her neck so she appeared to be towering over the viewer. It's also hard to imagine Grace Jones, an innovator who did it all—production, recording, singing, acting, modeling—not being in full control of her image. (In the case of "Carolina Beaumont," the original image is certainly a conversation starter about race and femininity but, judging from that photo, the model looks like she's having just as much of a good time as Kim K.)
Arguably feminist? Discuss!
Yes, here we are again in a time still promoting body dysmorphia for women. It just makes me damned mad. But then, I've been spending a lot of time reading why feminism isn't necessary and what it's terrible because men are the real victims of sexism like that poor scientist and his Groovy shirt. I personally feel like I just wrote part deux to my 1975 Feminist Philosophy class midterm essay during my sophomore year of university. Really! This still? Really?
Will it ever end?

Oh, as I write this I am watching the 1955 film, The Rose Tattoo, starring Anna Magnani.
It is fantastic…they do not play it very often on TCM, I'd forgotten how good it was.
You can see the entire film at the link below.
What dialogue there is in this play written by Tennessee Williams.
Take these couple of lines:
Yes…that is so true. There is so many other lines that are spot on in the play/film. Check out this review from the New York Times published December 13, 1955. Movie Review – The Rose Tattoo – Anna Magnani Triumphs in 'Rose Tattoo'; Film Version of Play by Williams Opens Italian Star and Burt Lancaster Superb
THAT fine Italian actress Anna Magnani, whom American audiences know best from such fine Italian films as "Open City" and "The Miracle," has a triumphant field day in her first Hollywood and English-speaking film. It is "The Rose Tatoo," from the play of Tennessee Williams. It opened at the Astor last night.
They say that Mr. Williams wrote the play with Miss Magnani in mind. Her performance would indicate it, for she fits the role—or it fits her—like skin. As the robust Italian-born widow of a truck driver in an American Gulf Coast town, where she baffles her friends with her endless mourning and her Spartan watchfulness over her teen-age daughter who is ripe for love, she splays on the screen a warm, full-bodied, tragi-comic character. And she is grandly assisted by Burt Lancaster in the second lead—and the second half—of the film.
Note well that Mr. Lancaster does not appear until the tale is nigh half told. This has particular significance in the pattern of the film. For the first half of it is a somber and sometimes even morbid account of a woman's idolization of a dead husband who, everyone but she seems to know was unfaithful to her. And because Miss Magnani is so ardent and intense in conveying the bleakness of this grief, this whole segment of the picture has a curious oppressiveness, which is barely lightened by the squawling and brawling that she either excites or engineers.
The review continues,
Let us be candid about it: there is a great deal more happening inside the widow's psychological frame than either she understands or Mr. Williams has bothered to analyze in the play or film. It is clear that she has a strong sex complex which stems from a lot of possible things, including her deep religious training. This is not discussed and barely hinted on the screen. Thus one must make one's own decision about the character's complete validity and the logic of her eventual conversion to a natural life and the acceptance of her daughter's love affair.
But, logical or not, Miss Magnani makes the change from dismal grief to booming joy such a spectrum of emotional alterations and personality eccentricities that—well, who cares! She overwhelms all objectivity with the rush of her subjective force. From the moment she and her new acquaintance get together for a good old-fashioned weep (for no particular reason except that they are both emotional), and then go on to obvious courting in a clumsy, explosive, guarded way. Miss Magnani sweeps most everything before her. And what she misses Mr. Lancaster picks up.
The exquisiteness of these two as sheer performers—just for instance, the authority with which she claps her hand to her ample bosom or he snags a runaway goat—would dominate the picture, if the rest of the cast were not so good and Daniel Mann as the director did not hold them under tingling, taut control. Marisa Pavan as the sensitive, nubile daughter; Ben Cooper as the decent sailor whom she craves; Virginia Grey as a tawdry ex-mistress and Sandro Giglio as a gentle priest head a group of supporting players that gives this picture—much of which was shot in Key West—a quality of utter authenticity. Producer Hal Wallis has afforded it the best.
It almost makes me want to get a rose tattoo on my chest. ;)
So today the post will feature pictures from the film…enjoy them.
First up, this link that I posted in the comments the other day. It is a "most excellent" op/ed written by Lauren Jones on the ongoing rape investigation of a Calhoun High School student. GUEST COLUMN: On the R-word
I've heard my share of information regarding the alleged perpetrators in this case, and I don't care to repeat it here. But I will say this: No means no, and wrong is wrong. I don't think any sexual act that ended up with a young lady going to the hospital was consensual.
And I don't care whether the alleged perpetrator or perpetrators are star athletes, straight A students, or even carry little old ladies' grocery bags for them; they deserve justice. They deserve a fair trial. And if the allegations are true, every single person involved needs counseling and support. In order for any kind of abuser to change, he or she must recognize that within themselves is someone who did something wrong and needs help.
I can't imagine the gravity of what this young lady will have to go through in the years to come. But as a survivor of sexual assault, I know a little about the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I know what it is like to be at the mall or grocery store and see the back of someone's head and think "Oh God, it's him," and suffer a panic attack, even if the person I saw is a complete stranger. I know the anxiety, the humiliation, the fear. The self-blaming reinforced by the blaming of others. It takes years of counseling, and you never get over it. Like the loss of a loved one, you learn to manage it.
I'm angry. I'm sad. I know I'm not alone in that. This young woman did not ask for what happened to her. And but for the choices of a handful of young men, this lady could have gone home that night, breathless from dancing, slightly buzzed and excited about her upcoming graduation. She could have taken a few aspirin and downed a glass of water to cut the hangover in two. Instead, she got pain medicine from an IV that night.
As a community we have to stand behind her and support her, and not sweep this under the rug. RAINN reports that 60 percent of sexual assaults are never reported and 97 percent of rapists never spend a day in jail. So I challenge this community to raise their voices, and educate themselves and their children about sexual violence.
This has to stop.
What a challenge…
It needed to be front paged, so if you missed it, please go and take a look at it now.
Funny that Lauren Jones ends her article very much like another article I will quote from below. But more on that connection later. Just put that little tidbit in the back of your mind.
Okay, there is new Calhoun High School Post Prom Rape Case news!
The Gilmer County Sheriff's Office will host a press conference today at 2 p.m. to talk about the suspects in the alleged rape that occurred at a cabin in Elijay after the Calhoun High School Prom. The sheriff's office will discuss the charges that will be received, according to Gilmer County Captain Copeland.
**Update 2**
Finally, you have no idea how relieved I am:
Three Calhoun High School students charged in alleged after-prom rape | Times Free Press
Three Calhoun High School students will turn themselves in today for their roles in an alleged rape that occurred at a post-prom party two weeks ago.
The Gilmer County Sheriff's Office has issued warrants for Fields Chapman, Andrew Haynes and Avery Johnson, charging the three men with aggravated sexual battery and underage consumption.
Lawyers for the three men did not return calls seeking comment this morning.
Recent Southeast Whitfield High graduate not charged in rape investigation » Local News »
A recent Southeast Whitfield High School graduate is not among three men charged with the sexual assault of a woman at an alcohol-fueled post-prom party in Ellijay earlier this month.
Fields Chapman, 609 Shenandoah Drive, Andrew Haynes, 263 Thornwood Drive, and Damon Avery Johnson, 321 Doubletree Drive, all 18 and 2014 graduates of Calhoun High School, were each charged by the Gilmer County's Sheriff's Office with one count of aggravated sexual assault and one count of possession of alcohol by a minor.
Rhett Harper, the former Southeast Whitfield student who was at the party, was not charged.
Sam Sanders, Harper's Dalton-based attorney, told The Daily Citizen last week that Harper was only a witness in the case and was no longer a suspect.
The Gilmer County Sheriff's Office incident report from May 11 lists 16 Calhoun High students — including the three charged — and Harper. Chapman, Haynes, Johnson and Harper were listed as suspects in the rape investigation. Sanders said Harper was at the party, but "did not participate in any sexual assault whatsoever."
My guess is that Harper gave some up some information in return for not being charged. But that is pure speculation on my part, as nothing has been confirmed from the sheriff office…
News conference later today. Will update you at that time.
Yes, I've become obsessed with this case. And like a moth to the flame, the comments at various fora threads or local Calhoun websites suck me in…one thing is certain, these remarks are perfect examples of that hashtag that has made the twitterverse buzz lately. From Will Bunch at Philly.com:
#YesAllWomen: Feminism has its 'Birmingham moment'
One of the most positive and uplifting characteristics of humans is our ability to take an unspeakable tragedy and not wallow in the despair that it creates, but channel that anger and sadness into something positive that benefits all of us, going forward.
For example, it happened in America in 1963. For years, the moral arc of the struggle for civil rights across the Deep South was bending toward justice…in slow motion. Anger over the Emmett Till case, the resilience of Dr. Martin Luther King and the Montgomery bus boycott, the courage of the Freedom Riders and marchers who faced fire hoses in Birmingham did put government-sanctioned racism on the front burner, and there were some impressive wins. But America — especially on the federal level — was still falling woefully short in ending segregation and other forms of sanctioned discrimination.
On September 15, 1963, in Birmingham, Ala., four monsters associated with the racist Ku Klux Klan placed a dynamite bomb against the 16th Street Baptist Church — a staging area for civil rights protests. Four adolescent girls — Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley — were murdered in the bomb blast. The shock of losing four innocent young girls to adult hatred caused many Americans to see the civil rights struggle in a new light, to truly focus on the broader injustice perpetrated against citizens because of the color of their skin. Within two years, Congress moved swiftly to pass both the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, ending an ugly chapter in our history.
I thought about Birmingham this weekend as I heard the grim, sickening news out of Southern California, about how a young man filled with misogynistic rage and inhuman hatred went on a murder spree that claimed six lives…and also as I watched the remarkable reaction that unfolded over the next four days. The news that the killer had posted anti-women rants on YouTube and in a lengthy manifesto, that he'd sworn to slaughter women for spurning his sexual advances and that he subscribed to something called the Men's Rights Movement caused thousands of women to come out in the open and declare to anyone who will listen that enough is enough.
Oh, but then we here at the blog have had enough of this shit years ago, eh? Attytood goes on to say,
…the sad thing is that the misogyny and sexual objectification of women that motivated him was just extreme manifestation of something far too common. The uncomfortable truth is that we live In a nation where one out of five women are raped or sexually assaulted, millions more are beaten or roughed up by a man, and ALL WOMEN experience various forms of sexual harassment, frequently to the point of fearing for their own safety.
On Twitter, the hashtag #YesAllWomen was born as a response to some who were eager to point that the killer (I try to not to glorify mass murderers here by mentioning their names, if possible) does not represent all men (in Twitterese, #NotAllMen.) Of course, not all men are killers, not all men are chauvinist pigs…but that's not the point. All women in America experience misogyny, harassment, sexual objectification, or forms of abuse that are far worse.
Yes, all women. Say what you will about "hashtag activism" — I understand the quibbles — but you can't start a national conversation without the first 140 characters. The truths that flew across cyberspace this weekend were both revealing and profoundly depressing. Women openly sharing their breakups in a public coffee shop because of fears over violence, the times they were threatened with physical assault, the non-stop harassment from men who were drunk, or worse.
Did you know that over a million #yesALLwomen tags had been posted in just two days? But here is the disgusting part of this news, the women who started this twitter hashtag activism had to shut down their twitter accounts because of harassment.
Read more about this at the link.
All I can say is those "men's rights" dickwads post hateful kind of remarks on those Calhoun commentaries. (I can't really say "dickwads" because there are women who do that shit too. Is cunt to harsh a word? Yes, I am that mad. And if you are offended by that, I direct you to the title of this post and remind you that I am a Sicilian.)
It pisses me off. What the hell is wrong with these people? Young adults committed a crime and they must be charged and arrested and tried. They should not be allowed to get away with this horrible act. It is both disgusting and disturbing to see the many comments blaming the victim, making pathetic excuses for the ones who raped her, and passing the whole incident off as something that got out of control.
So of the folks talk about the fact that Calhoun high school has a "wealthy" student body. That the football team is an elite group. That may be but after thinking about all the crap that has happened lately, especially when you see the comments from the sheriffs office…I don't think the word "elite" is the correct one to use. I say the word should be Entitled. It is an attitude we see all around us, these "suspects" felt entitled to abuse their victim in the vicious manner they did. Just as they feel entitled to get away with it. The same way the sheriff felt entitled to cast the evening the rape happened as only a party with alcohol that got a "little out of hand." Seriously, he said that remember?
If you have time, or the stomach for it, read this shit: These commentators feel entitled to post derogatory things about the victim, because she is a woman and they have misogynistic issues from the get go…but also it goes along the line that women are subservient to men, period.
When you take a look at the situation in California, with the mass shooting at Isla Vista just this weekend and Google the pick up artist culture, it is disturbing as hell.(PAU Hate, PAU lingo) These men are f*cked up. Their views are exactly like some of the ones expressed in those threads.
The community needs to support the victim, they need to press the authorities for arrests. Instead many of these assholes are spending their time spreading the hate against women that Attytood ended his piece with:
Friday's senselessness in Santa Barbara took things to a a new level. It was — sadly, yet of necessity — a "Birmingham moment" for female empowerment in America. What's less clear, though, is what comes next, of how to translate anger and emotion into social change. The strong chance of electing a female president in 2016 is a positive — but remember that electing a black president in 2008 seems to have done more to provoke racism than to end it.
There are certainly areas — equal pay, sick leave — where government can play a greater role, but the deeper issues cut not just across the media — yes, the media — business and universities, but also the human spirit. Ending hate against women will require real work from all of us.
Much like the challenge that Lauren puts up in her op/ed isn't it?

Sunday: V-J Day, Goodbye Kisses, Working Women and Warning Signs

I think it will be safe to say that today's post is retro, super retro. And I really do not have all the space I need to post all the historic pictures I would like to post…so there will be links to other pages/galleries, and you must spend some time looking through the fascinating images.
Like the one to the right ———–>
Look at the expression on that woman's face, if she could slam that thermos up-side the guy's stupid head she would…but she appears too damn tired of hearing the kind of shit he is saying to even bother replying to the asshole.
At least the tag line on the bottom of the poster got it right:
America's Women Have Met the Test!
Too bad that opinion did not last when the boys came back home.
I often wonder what would have happened if the Republican push to get women and their views on politics back in the kitchen was not as successful as it was during the 5o's…can you imagine?
Anyway, this may seem a little familiar to my post from Wednesday, but there is a reason for this opening thought:
You must have heard that the sailor in one of the most iconic pictures of World War II died last week…V-J Day, 1945: A Nation Lets Loose | LIFE.com
Glenn McDuffie, a Navy veteran who long claimed to be the sailor photographed kissing a nurse in Times Square on V-J day — and whose claim was reportedly backed up by a police forensic artist — has died. He was 86 years old. (LIFE magazine — in which the now-iconic Alfred Eisenstaedt photo first appeared — never officially identified either the sailor or the nurse.)
Made almost 70 years ago, it remains one of the most famous photographs — perhaps the most famous photograph — of the 20th century: a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square on V-J Day in August 1945.
That simple, straightforward description of the scene, however, hardly begins to capture not only the spontaneity, energy and sheer exuberance shining from Alfred Eisentaedt's photograph, but the significance of the picture as a kind of cultural — indeed a totemic — artifact.
"V-J Day in Times Square" is not merely the one image that captures what it felt like in America when it was finally announced, after a half-decade of global conflict, that Japan had surrendered and that the War in the Pacific — and thus the Second World War itself — was effectively ended. Instead, for countless people, Eisentaedt's photograph captures at least part of what the people of a nation at war experience when war, any war, is over.
McDuffie, who passed away Sunday in Texas, had said he was motivated to randomly kiss the pretty nurse on the day Japan surrendered because it meant his brother would be getting released from a Japanese prison camp
The Texas man who made headlines for his repeated claims to being the sailor who randomly kissed a woman in Times Square, leading to one of the most iconic photographic images of World War II, has died.
Glenn Edward McDuffie passed away at age 86 on Sunday in Texas after suffering a heart attack at a casino earlier in the day, his daughter told the Daily News.
McDuffie claimed for years he was the strapping sailor who planted one on the lips of the swooning woman on August 14, 1945. He said it was a spontaneous act of unbridled euphoria sparked by the announcement of Japan's surrender.
The Life magazine photographer who took the famed shot, Alfred Eisenstaedt, did not record the names of the subjects, and many people have claimed to be the mysterious sailor. In 2007 noted forensic artist Lois Gibson, who works for the Houston Police Department, said she positively identified McDuffie as the sailor. Her technique was to take numerous pictures of the older McDuffie and overlay them over the original. By doing so she said she compared the sailor's muscles, ears and other features to McDuffie's, and found them to be a match.
Take a look at the rest of that NY Daily News piece, it has later pictures of McDuffie along with some photos of him when he was young…and other older interview quotes as well.
But back to the Life Magazine link for a little more:
…two small but significant pieces of information related to Eisenstaedt's rightfully famous "Kiss in Times Square" might come — especially when taken together — as a real surprise to fans of both photography and of LIFE magazine in general.
First, contrary to what countless people have long believed, the photo of the sailor kissing the nurse did not appear on the cover of LIFE. It did warrant a full page of its own inside the magazine (page 27 of the August 27, 1945, issue, to be exact) but was part of a larger, multi-page feature titled, simply, "Victory Celebrations."
Closely tied to that first point is the fact that while the conclusion of the Second World War might be something LIFE magazine, of all publications, could be expected to feature on its cover for weeks on end, the magazine's editors clearly had other ideas. In fact, not only did Eisensteadt's Times Square photo not make the cover of the August 27th issue; no image related to the war, or the peace, graced the cover. Instead the magazine carried a striking photograph of a ballet dancer.
An underwater ballet dancer.
War is over! that cover seems to say.
After years of brutal, global slaughter, our lives — in all their frivolous, mysterious beauty — can finally begin again.
Amen to that.
Some of the pictures in that Life Magazine's gallery are beautiful, they have published pictures that were not published in the original 1945 piece. Like this one below, of the V-J Day reaction in Hollywood:
I love that woman's shoes! This article also is connected to another WWII era gallery at Life, Fighting Words: World War II Battlefield Signs | LIFE.com
"The universe is made of stories, not of atoms," the American poet Muriel Rukeyser once wrote, and more and more, as time goes by, that sounds about right.
But what if paying strict heed to every written word that one saw every single day meant the difference between survival and annihilation? What if the misreading of a sign on an unfamiliar road, for example, meant not the inconvenience of a missed turn, but a sudden, violent death?
Here, LIFE.com takes a look at some of the countless signs that troops encountered during the course of World War II, from the islands of the Pacific to the deserts of North Africa to the ruined cities of Europe. Official warnings; adamant instructions; wry, handwritten inside jokes — all of them silent reminders of a conflict that, until the very end, dished out one paramount, universal command: Pay attention!

Wednesday Reads: Sheena, Queen of the Jungle but not Master to Herself

I am a coward. A big fat coward. I've spent the last countless days avoiding the computer so that I could have an excuse not to go online.
Why? Because one of my oldest childhood friends from Florida…whom I've lost touch with over the years, but is someone who is connected deeply to my memories of growing up that I could not even comprehend a world without her…this person who shared life dreams with me…is currently getting treatment for third-stage breast cancer.
The chemo is making her sick as hell. Her long natural curly hair is all gone, she's bald, and the things that seem to keep her going now are the three kids (20, 15 and 6) and her crazy family and her close friends, which are more like family to her then the one she and her sister survived from.
Honestly, I cannot tell you how many adversities she has fought through. My one repeated memory of her locking her bedroom door when we were little, and sleeping with a kitchen knife under the bed should give you a hint. The fact that the mother did not "believe" the stories…or divorce the father until years later. Oh…it is amazing that the family has even worked through it, albeit understandably with tensions still intact.
It was something I could not face. To read her email telling me how her treatment was going, what it was doing to her physically, financially and emotionally. Shit.
I finally sent her a message yesterday and told her what a coward I was…and why I had not responded to her the past couple of days. I am so pissed at myself.
It really makes me want to check out even more, especially with so much crap going on, and so many good people like my friend…struggling to get through the day. As if she did not have all the shitty obstacles of her life to get across, then to have additional road blocks put up by rich ass dickwad politicians and hypocritical assholes. The hoops she has jump to get her treatments covered in Gov. Rick Scott aka Voldemort's State of Florida is ridiculous. It just adds to an already stressful situation. I hate it.
The reason for that longer than usual opening is to give you the sense of my mood. My frustrations.
Now, on to a few items of fancy this morning…you see these old comic clips?
Sheena, Queen of the Jungle.
She was the first woman "heroine" main character to have a comic book all to herself. Years before Wonder Woman!
Sheena, Queen of the Jungle is a fictional, American comic book jungle girl heroine, originally published primarily by Fiction House. She was the first female comic-book character with her own title, with her 1937 (in Great Britain; 1938 in the United States) premiere preceding Wonder Woman #1 (cover-dated Dec. 1941). Sheena inspired a wealth of similar comic-book jungle queens. She was predated in literature by Rima, the Jungle Girl, introduced in the 1904 William Henry Hudson novel Green Mansions. Sheena was ranked 59th in Comics Buyer's Guide's "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list.
An orphan who grew up in the jungle, learning how to survive and thrive there, she possessed the ability to communicate with wild animals and was proficient in fighting with knives, spears, bows, and makeshift weapons.
This woman kicks ass…as you can see if you take a look at her archive of comics:
Here…at this link (which is a site Boston Boomer sent to me a little while ago The Digital Comic Museum and it is fantastic.) The Digital Comic Museum > Sheena, Queen of the Jungle
Or…here: Sheena, Queen of the Jungle (Fiction House)
Both are good sites with lots of downloadable comics that have become part of the public domain.
One thing you will notice is the change in Sheena as she transitions into the 1950's woman.
Take a look at this gallery of covers and see the way she is represented, in both the artwork and situations on the covers and the various titles and headlines.
Sheena went from a cover where she is alone kicking a guy's ass in a crocodile suit and, "She rules a world of killer beast and savage men!" to an ape grabbing her suggestively around the waist, and a dudebro saving her by shooting another ape with, "Trek the jungle trails of killer beast and savage men with Sheena wild beauty of the Congo."
Well, that was just my observation.
The Digital Comic Museum has some wonderful comics to look through. Luckily they have more Women in Red comics, so maybe another installment of our shero is in the future?
Other strong woman characters from the late 30's and 40's included Brenda Starr Reporter, Sally O'Neil Cop,
Sally the Sleuth in Crime Smashers (Check out the first Sally the Sleuth story here… Love the lipstick gun!), Firehair Queen of the Sagebrush Frontier, Lady Luck (who was later replaced by Wendy the Waitress) and the dames in Gangsters and Gun Molls and Underworld.
I think if you spend some time, and bookmark some of those pages, you will have an enjoyable few hours wasted away…and forget reality of what is going on in the real world…where those women in the comic books from the 40's seemed to be given more credit for being an individual "thinking" human being (flawed or not) than what the assholes give women of today. I mean I am not blind to the advances that have been made, but seriously? Links below the jump will connect to this point.
The Woman in Red: Protector of the Uteri, Defender of Vajayjay Rights and Fighter Against the #WarOnWomen
Posted: January 22, 2014 Filed under: abortion rights, birth control, court rulings, Discrimination against women, fetus fetishists, fundamentalist Christians, House of Representatives, legislation, misogyny, morning reads, Planned Parenthood, PLUB Pro-Life-Until-Birth, Religious Conscience, Reproductive Health, Reproductive Rights, Republican politics, the GOP, The Right Wing, U.S. Politics, Vagina, War on Women, Woman in Red protector of the Uteri defender of Vajayjay Rights, Women's Healthcare, Women's Rights | Tags: back the fuck up, Roe v. Wade, women's rights supershero 47 CommentsGood Morning…
I suppose you can guess from the title…it is time for another episode of the Woman in Red. Only this time it will be a little more than a few tweets, lets just say this will be a "full" treatment. Yeah…this time you get a real full blown story!
(As for the morning reads, well…I haven't really been paying attention to the news lately. Think of this as an open thread and post links to news stories down below in the comments.)
Now…meet Peggy Allen ——->
She is smart as hell, and like you, she knows just what the GOP is up to.
That is a shitload of anti-woman legislation.
Peggy has decided to use her special superpowers for something more than volunteering as an escort at her local Planned Parenthood or spending time blogging and protesting against the GOP's war on women.
She is determined to fight the right-wing bastards, with whatever is necessary….
<——— Peggy Allen is The Woman in Red, protector of the Uteri, defender of Vajayjay Rights and fighter against the war on women.
Just this week alone you can see some examples of the shit women have to deal with, and it isn't just abortion issues…its poverty, birth control, health care and so many other things:
Kentucky Lawmaker Attempts to Define Abortion as Domestic Violence
Marital Status Doesn't Cause Poverty—Not Having Money Does
Four Insurance Companies Accused of Widespread Sex Discrimination
House Judiciary Committee Passes Sweeping Anti-Choice Bill
Missouri Representative Introduces Parental Notification Bill
Marlise Munoz's Husband Sues to Stop Hospital's 'Cruel and Obscene' Treatment
Teens sentenced to weeks in sexual assault case that ended in suicide
Argument recap: Buffer zones? Maybe yes, but how big? : SCOTUSblog
Texas Spends Nearly $650,000 Defending Anti-Choice Laws
House GOP: Let's Audit Rape Victims for Tax Fraud
Michigan GOP Passes Rape Insurance Law, Because Outreach
GOP Congressional Candidate: Spousal Rape Shouldn't Be a Crime
House GOP: Tax Abortions to Create Jobs. What?
Can 'Roe' Survive the Roberts Court?
First on CNN: GOP urges candidates to stand ground on abortion
The list goes on and on…and if I kept on posting links to this shit I would never get to the strip.
And what do you know, today is the 41st anniversary of Roe v. Wade:
Protecting Access to Women's Health, 41 Years After Roe v. Wade | Sue Dunlap
GOP readies for 2014 with new tactics, familiar messages – CBS News
Thousands of abortion foes set for March for Life in Washington – The Washington Post
The Woman in Red comic is Public Domain, which is fortunate, because that means I can do whatever I want with her. It is lucky too that I found some images and copies of her comics online, otherwise this creative little anti-PLUB comic romp would never have gone further than those few tweets.
As an added bonus, just this morning I found this link to an article by Jessica Valenti: Back The Fuck Up: Protect Women's Rights by Getting Out of the Way | The Nation
(Original photo: AP Photo/Josh Reynolds)
Feminists are constantly on the defensive. Whether it's fighting back against sexist media depictions of women, working to hold ground on reproductive rights or arguing that rape is an actual thing that really happens—feminism's fights are largely reactionary. In the wake of the Supreme Court fight over buffer zones, it occurs to me that we need something a bit more proactive to protect women and their rights. So I'd like to suggest that we implement a national call—a feminist addendum in the social contract—for people to Back The Fuck Up.
Read Jessica's piece…I think it goes perfectly with our supershero, The Woman in Red, and I think Jessica's idea kicks ass!
So without any more waiting or whatever, here is….

Arizona Diamondbacks
Arizona Diamondbacks fire pitching coach Charles Nagy and first base coach Steve Sax
Following a second straight disappointing season, the Arizona Diamondbacks were expected to make some moves to shake up their coaching staff.
Late Monday, word leaked that they had done just that, and the team made the announcement Tuesday morning that it had relieved pitching coach Charles Nagy and first base coach Steve Sax of their duties.
AZDiamondbacks.com's Steve Gilbert talked with Nagy Monday night.
"It's been a great three years with the Diamondbacks," Nagy said. "On behalf of me and my family, I'd like to thank the fans in Arizona for their support and the Diamondbacks organization for the opportunity."
The moves come in the wake of back-to-back poor seasons from Diamondbacks pitchers, who collectively posted earned run averages just below 4.00 in 2012 and 2013, while blowing a major league-worst 29 saves last season.
Nagy spent three years as the Diamondbacks' pitching coach and his pitchers finished just below National League average in ERA each year.
Sax was named the team's first base coach in December 2012.
