This workshop is an introduction to the use of the Internet, the World Wide Web, and HTML authoring tools. It has three major objectives: first, to provide students, if not a marketable skill, then at least professional development and enhancement; second, to help develop the American resources of Alderman Library's Special Collections by converting them to hypertext; third, to create an archive of electronic texts for students and teachers of American culture(s).The workshop begins with a series of self-paced training exercises and tasks designed to familiarize the student with the internet, setting up a home page, digitizing texts, and the acquisition and manipulation of images. As we're moving through these exercises, you should also be doing the preliminary research necessary for selecting the text you will work with through the balance of the term. By the conclusion of the third week, you should be ready to begin hypertextualizing it; the goal is to have your text developed as fully as time, energy, and imagination permit by August 15. After the third week in the term, we will gather once a week to review work-in-progress and to share problems and solutions.
When selecting your text, please keep in mind the following considerations. First -- and perhaps the most serious constraint -- placed on you by copyright law and by the relatively amorphous idea of fair use. Although texts presently under copyright -- in general those published after 1920 -- may be hypertextualized, in most instances it will not be possible to make them visible to anyone outside the University community. Second, the text you choose should be, in some reasonably plausible sense, worth doing. There are a variety of kinds of arguments one might make here. E.g., the text is not available in print but should be? It is a text which, like Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson or Frank Baum's Oz books, becomes a different kind of text when the illustrations are included? It is a book which, like Herman Melville's The Confidence Man, is so filled with literary and historical allusionsthat that it demands a fully annotated version or, as in the same instance, is it so dense in its system of internal references and allusions that have a text which is machine-searchable would be an advantage. And third, is this a project which will have accrue additional value over time? By this I mean, is it likely to attract others to contribute to the project or is it likely to contribute to electronic projects which are already out there?

Returning Bachelor Brad Womack is more than ready to find love. On episode two of the hit ABC reality show, an excited Brad welcomed his first round of dating with an open mind. "I know I'm a different person than I was three years ago," the 37-year-old explained in the beginning of the episode. But the serenity didn't last long, as drama among the women in the house mounted, ultimately leading to the demise of two contestants.
"Waking up in L.A. today all this became so real," Brad said before his first date. "Never in a million years did I think I would be The Bachelor again. I'm a little nervous, but I could not be happier."
Ashley H., a dentist from Philly, was elated when she received the first one-on-one date. The card promised a "wild ride" for her and Brad.
"I was freaking out when I found out I got the first date. It's an honor. I'm just so amazed he picked me."
Their date begins on a dirt road, as Brad leads Ashley with a lantern. "It feels like something out of a horror movie," a weary Ashley shared.
The dark road is illuminated when the duo's turns on a switch and a carnival comes to life to them.
"When Ashley and I were running through a carnival I kept seeing that she was smiling and giggling," Brad said. "She didn't care that she was in a fancy dress, she just cared about living in the moment."
Ashley described the date as "romantic and flirty."
Brad was also feeling the romance, as he shared, "This girl is the entire package, she is intelligent, pretty, I feel like I can be myself around her. I like this girl. I like this girl a lot."
As they continue on with their carnival fun, Brad kisses Ashley dubbing the date "the best he has been on in years."
"This is my very first date and I'm having the time of my life with this girl," he gushed.
Ashley divulges some things about her past, sharing that she was raised in a single-family household and that her father battled with addiction.
This leads to Brad opening up about his family life during his childhood.
"Our dad split at an early age," Brad shared. "I really relate with people not being there in your life."
He also revealed that his experience with his father made him push people away.
Ashley — who Bran now calls Ash — shared her main fear is that Brad feels obligated to choose someone because of his history on the show.
"I don't need redemption at all," he explained. "I'm not gonna waste your time at all."
Brad said Ash enabled him to "completely let down" his walls.
"I feel lighter," he said. "I feel happier. The very first date and I feel like on my way to finding the wife.
The date ended with a rose for Ashley and the "couple" sharing an intimate kiss on the ferris wheel.
The lucky bachelor went on a date with 15 women for the dreaded-by-the-contestants, obligatory "group date." Chantal, Emily, Michelle, Stacy, Shawntel, Alli, Lisa M, Keltie, Melissa, Britt, Kimberly, Raichel, Marissa, Meghan and Ashley S.
Before the date even began, Michelle expressed how upset she was that she would have to share Brad.
"Happy freakin' birthday to me. There is a lot of competition here and I second guess everything. I just want him to notice me," Michelle explains as she is bitter about having to share her date with 14 girls on her 30th birthday. She also complains ab out noticing more wrinkles.
For the date, Brad and the ladies donated their time to the American Red Cross Blood Donation Foundation.
The girls created PSAs with Brad to raise awareness about the importance of giving bloods.
"We are all going to be fighting for his time," Michelle said, "People are going to piss me off today. I know it."
Stacey, Emily and Lisa M. acted out a Spanish Soap Opera with Brad, which required some serious lip lock.
Melissa barges into the scene and kisses Brad.
"I just didn't feel special at all. Just like another number," Melissa said after her disturbance on set. "It's hard to know exactly what he is looking for. A lot of women fighting over on man and I don't know if I'm going to make it through it."
Michelle holds the same concerns and can't handle watching the girls interact with Brad. She storms off the set prompting Brad to find her.
"I want to show you a good time," Brad said in an attempt to cover her. "I want to know you so badly."
"I want to get to know you," Michelle replied. "I think we should continue down this path and see what happens."
During her interview, Michelle adds, "All I want for my birthday is Brad. When I kiss Brad and Brad kisses me fireworks are going to go off. Any girl he kisses after he kisses me is going to be a huge disappointment. Sorry girls."
The girls travel to the Roosevelt Hotel for the after party, and Brad keeps repeating he wants the night to be "drama free."
Brad steals Melissa away to explain why she intruded in on his scene with the other girls.
"I'm very spontaneous," she explained. "Afterwards I felt like I probably shouldn't have done that it wasn't
During Michelle's one-on-one time she explains her desire to be close with Brad.
"I just want to connect with you. You have walls," she explains. "I feel like we need to dissect you. I feel like there is so much to you and I want to peal all the layers."
Melissa and Raichel continue to fight over their intentions.
Back at the house, Jackie receives the next one-on-one date card.
First stop — a hotel in Beverly Hills where Brad and Jackie get pampered for a spa day.
After their relaxation, Brad leads Jackie into a room filled with gorgeous gowns and tells her to get ready for a glamorous night out.
Before they head off in a limo, Brad drapes Neil Lane diamonds around her neck before they head to Hollywood Bowl — the sign outside reads "For Jackie, Love Brad."
The huge amphitheater is closed down for the two of them as they enjoy a candlelight dinner and a private concert from rock group, Train.
Jackie admits that she is very cautious when it come to relationships, only dating two guys in her life.
"I'm concerned that Jackie may wake up and realize that this is too much for her," Brad admits.
Brad admits he hesitant about giving the rose, because of her dating history; however, he wants to explore their relationship more.
"Jackie is a cautious one when it comes to love and it scares me a bit. But who am I to judge. That was me three years ago."
As they dance to Train, Brad and Jackie share and intimate kiss.
"Brad is ready to make a commitment. I can see it being me in the long run," a confident Jackie shares.
At the rose ceremony. Michelle steals Brad away right from the start and begins to ask him rapid fire questions.
"Do you prefer Starbucks or the Coffee bean? What is always stocked in your fridge?"
Brad seems a bit caught off guard but answers her questions graciously.
During his one-on-one time with Emily, the mom shares that she is more private than the other girls.
Brad admits Emily, who is having difficulty being away from her daughter, makes him very nervous.
"You make me lose words," he tells her. " I feel intimidated talking to you."
Raichel and Melissa start to fight again inside the house, and Raichel calls Melissa "a toxic disease"
Melissa cries during her one-on-one with Brad and explaining she is at her"breaking point."
"I'm the targeted girl in the house for whatever reason," she tells Brad. "There is one girl that's been targeting me. It's Raichel. I feel like she is draining me and pulling the positive energy out of me."
Brad then finds Raichel crying and complaining about Melissa.
Amid the drama, host Chris Harrison introduces last season's Bachelorette Ali Fedotowksy and Roberto Martinez who will be helping Brad gauge the girls intentions.
Ali and Roberto advise Brad to give the rose to Emily.
Before he hangs out the roses, Brad tells the girls, "Ive made stronger connections in a single week than a whole month when I was previously the Bachelor."
In the end, Raichel, Melissa and Keltie are sent home.
Keltie takes the hit very hard.
"It they gave out an Oscar for worst date in the world it would be me. I'm so awkward," she says with tears in her eyes.
Melissa give Brad a cold goodbye, without a hug.
"I think there are several girls who targeted me and they needed to push me over the edge so there was one less girl. It's a shame because I don't feel I deserved it," she said crying.
Raichel also took the rejections hard.
"Nobody likes to be in this position. You feel rejected you know. I feel like I deserve better. I came here to find love. I came her to all in love I didn't come here to get so upset by another girl. I tried to put myself out there and this wasn't my time."
Brad did not let the drama go on in the competition and is excited to move on with the women he has chosen.
Be sure to tune into The Bachelor next Monday at 8 p.m. on ABC to watch Brad in his quest to find love.

I would suggest to make a sticky on how to properly post in the bug/tech support forum. One suggestion would be as follows:
When posting a potential bug, make the subject like: [BUG] Build:(Build number) (Issue)
Additionally when posting a potential bug, make the content like: Explain in detail what the potential bug is and does, steps to duplicate this bug, log files (if applicable), any additional information pertaining to this bug that can be listed such as computer specifications if availible.
Lastly, do not post more than 1 bug per topic. Start a new topic for addition located bugs.
This kind of tracking suggestion would help narrow down locating and removing bugs by showing which build was in so if the bug was addressed in a previous build and supposed to be fixed, the devs can see that they missed something and a bug persists. It also will help them know if the posted bug is an old post and to move on. The steps to reproduce will assist the devs and reproducing the bug so they can monitor and track what is happening to quicker find a solution to remove it. And by posting only 1 bug per topic it keeps the bugs easier to find and track by the devs.
When posting a Support request, make the subject like: [Support] Build:(Build number) (Issue)
Additionally when posting a support request, make the content like: Explain in detail the issue being experienced so that devs or other forum members can address and try to help solve the issue being experienced. If applicable, list computer specifications.
Lastly, do not post more than 1 issue per topic. Start a new topic for additional issues.
Similarly to the bug, this helps streamline the forum so that issues and problems can be quickly addressed and handled. Steam BuildID can easily be found by right clicking on the game's name in the library, clicking properties, then clicking the local fliles tab. It will display at the bottom of the options "Current content BuildID:xxxxxx". If a different build ID is needed by the devs, I might suggest they add a BuildID text file in the main install folder so people can open it to see the exact build and post that.
Suggestion on Bug / Tech support forum

Premier 4509 - A division of VeilSide
The VeilSide showroom sits nearby the Tskuba Circuit on the outskirts of Tokyo. VeilSide. Co., Ltd. was established in September 1990 by Yokomaku Hironao. The name is derived from Yokomaku's name, "maku" meaning veil, "yoko" meaning side.
In the period directly following VeilSide's establishment, the company's focus directed towards performance tuning. At the 1991 Tokyo Auto Salon's custom car contest, VeilSide won Grand Prize in the Tuned Car Category despite that it was the first time the company had ever participated in the event. Soon after, Yokomaku's firm won trophies in the Dressed Up Car and Complete Car Categories as well. Soon after, Veilside originated the combat series, which sparked many other companies into a new era of aero-styling.
At an exhibition in Los Angeles, Yokomaku saw the "Batmobile" from the '60s series "Batman". According to Yokomaku, "In Japan, people think that superheroes are something for kids, but in the States I saw adults looking at the Batmobile with keen interest." As Yokomaku courageously experimented with new ideas influenced by old favorites, the creation of the striking Combat model came to be. At first, even the VeilSide staff was surprised. "But they just stared without backing off, and the more they looked, the more they liked it," says Yokomaku. The Supra Combat was exhibited at the TAS '94 and was the object of much discussion during the deliberations for the custom car contest. In the end the judges awarded it for the Grand Prize in the Complete Car Category.
After the Supra Combat was displayed at the TAS, VeilSide received a mountain of letters from visitors who said they had been inspired by the car. The Supra Combat was so successful that people started purchasing Supras just so that they could transform them to Combat mode, and the number of models in the Combat series thus started to grow. In July of 1995, VeilSide received Ministry of Transportation authorization for all the Combat's aero parts, so the car could then pass official inspection. This was a first in the aftermarket performance industry. At this point the customizing industry as a whole shifted towards the legal turning point that Yokomaku had aimed for.
Today, VeilSide's dedication to precision and detail still prevails above all industry standards. Whatever it may be, from aesthetics to performance, we assure you that our products are created with uncompromising research and last but not least, endless passion.

Spring yarns are trickling in at the store and they are super tempting! I have so much cotton, linen, hemp, etc. in my stash, I'm forcing myself to NOT gorge on anything from Berroco or Classic Elite, specifically the highly tempting Seduce and Soft Linen. Trying to ignore the totally adorable patterns from Norah Gaughan and Pam Allen. To quash these cravings and celebrate the fact that I think this is the year I've finally accepted that I'm a fledgling designer (long time readers will know that there has been much internal consternation surrounding that self-appointed title), I'm working up a little pattern that will take just a few skeins of these gorgeous new yarns and hopefully be a cute mid-season accessory. I wasn't allowed to buy the yarn on Saturday because it is just that new (not in the Webs system) but hopefully by next weekend because it'll be a quick knit, and I want to wear it!
Now, for some heart-stopping cuteness. In November (my month of knitting a million sweaters) I hinted at some unphotographed FOs, two tiny dog sweaters I made for a (very talented) friend's adorable pomapoo. Shara snapped some pics and left them for me in the comments but I want everyone to meet the very dapper Diego!
And his new little sister Sadie, wearing the elfish green hoodie I originally made for Diego!
That face!!
I used the very adaptable Basic Hound Hoodie (Ravelry link but you can Google it for a free PDF). The first beige hoodie was knit with about half a skein of Tahki Soho Tweed which is a very nice yarn, soft and quick knitting. The green hoodie took half a skein of Berroco Ultra Alpaca. In the store the Cascade 220 is right next to the Ultra Al and…it makes the Ultra Al look really good. For about 1 dollar more you get a vastly more luxurious yarn in totally unique, complex colors. I'm not knocking Cascade 220 (or it's awesome rival yarn Northampton) but if you haven't used Ultra Al, I implore you, buy a skein, knit some little gloves or a hat (or both). You'll fall for it.
More handspun…I need to start knitting it before I have yet another stash to manage. This is what I'm calling Wheat Sheaves, spun from 4 ounces of Spunky Eclectic BFL in Monkey Farts, most hilarious color name ever. I'm actually kind of happy with the pictures I got of this one, so lots more at Flickr.
I've also been practicing my photo skills on the Sundara Season's Club shipment (this is Tickled Pink, the spring selection):
It's been interesting, I chose Autumn and Spring, my favorite seasons in real life but I'm thinking I should have stuck with my CMB season, Winter. Those skeins have been deep reds or weird combos of green and charcoal or magenta and black. I live for weird colors! I sold and traded my silk lace weight because I'm just not that masochistic. If I ever really get into hardcore lace knitting it'll be with something sticky.
What else? Oh yes, I had some exciting scores at Target the other day, got a creme brulee set for 5 dollars!! Steve, owner of Webs and wisecracker overheard me telling a coworker and shouted, "you know why it was 5 bucks, because no one makes creme brulee at home!!" I beg to differ, I made it immediately and had a very delicious breakfast the next morning!
Won't be making a habit of it though. They include a "low-cal" version but it's probably not worth the dairy. Besides a momentary freak-out about the butane torch (visions of explosions, probably the REAL reason no one makes them at home) I had success. I also made paneer (Fresh Cheese in Bittman) the other day, which was very fun. I'm having a streak of food luck, what should I make next??

The mystic city of Avion is widely considered the most beautiful city in the Eternian Kingdom. The massive city of the birdmen called the Avionians is the center and hub of their mountainous kingdom. Built atop high peaks within the Mystic Mountains, Avion is accessible only by air, making it supremely defensible from assaults.In Avion society, the flyers are given the highest status. All statesmen and military leaders are Avions who have mastered the art of flight. There are parts of Avion society who dislike this form of discrimination, but their numbers are not large enough to cause any sort of societal shift.Avion is also home of Lord Stratos--one of the most respected warriors of the Avionian race and a valued Master of the Universe. It is his allegiance with King Miro and King Randor, that has made the Avionians such a trusted ally with Eternos.Stratos not withstanding, Avion is also home to a large military force of well-trained and well-equipped warriors that often rise to defend their homeland and give aid to neighboring regions. The barracks and armory of these warriors is one of the most impressive architechtural achievements of the Avionians.Avian military strategy focuses on aerial combat. Although not all Avians can fly, they can all glide with their wings. As a consequence, Avians have a preference for weapons that can be used when gliding. This led to the development of crossbows, which are an Avian soldier's primary weapon. Ever conscious about being weighed down in flight, Avians also carry a small dagger with them, for close quarters combat.

A man has been jailed and an accomplice fined after illegally dumping thousands of tonnes of waste including asbestos.
Investigators from the Environment Agency found asbestos among the waste buried at sites in Yorkshire by Phillip Slingsby aged 42 of Hadds Lane, Thorne .
Some of it was on land belonging to Robert Spencer aged 63, of Oak Farm, Finningley, who was also prosecuted.
Hull Crown Court heard between 2008 and 2010 he dumped waste at sites at Middleton Quarry, Pollington and then at Wroot Road, Doncaster.
Prosecuting for the Environment Agency, Christopher Stables said waste was tipped and levelled on an industrial scale. It included wood, vegetation, plastics, and asbestos sheeting and other non-inert waste.
He said it posed a significant pollution risk to nearby water sources.
In total 127,000.00 tonnes of waste were deposited at Middleton Quarry. Lawful disposal would have cost in excess of £440,000.
He then moved operations to 36 Acre Field, Wroot Road, a site owned by Spencer, where 72,000 tonne of waste was dumped.
Between January and October 2009 Spencer allowed Slingsby to tip waste on his land , with was no environmental permit.
In September 2009, EA officers saw tipping at Wroot Road, describing it as a large scale operation. Officers told Spencer it was illegal and it should cease immediately.
Spencer claimed that Slingsby was responsible for the dumping of waste including included brick, rubble, soil, plastics and green waste, metal, wood and tyres. Tests revealed the presence of asbestos.
Slingsby was jailed for a year, ordered to pay £20,000 in costs and disqualified as a director for six years.
He was also subject to a confiscation order in the amount of £200,000.00 under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002
Spencer, was sentenced given a nine month jail sentence suspended for a two years and ordered to pay £20,000.00 in confiscation under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
Judge Jack said that the defendants had both acted in a way that had "put the public at serious risk."
The offences were further aggravated by the fact that they were deliberate, committed in environmentally sensitive areas and financially motivated. In passing sentence, he accepted that Robert Spencer was less culpable than Phillip Slingsby.
In both cases, the custody threshold was passed and, whilst the sentence imposed on Robert Spencer could be suspended, such was the seriousness of the case, it was appropriate for Phillip Slingsby to serve an immediate term of imprisonment.
Speaking after the case, an Environment Agency spokesman said: "This was a large scale waste operation where the defendants allowed waste to be brought onto land without being permitted to do so. Illegal waste sites have the potential to cause serious pollution incidents or harm human health, and this prosecution demonstrates that we take waste crime very seriously and will not hesitate to prosecute if necessary, to protect the environment and local communities."

LagersBottoms Up! March 1, 2009 - Chad Wulff
Bottom fermented, and with little room for error, lagers are in no way mundane or something to pass up experiencing. With so many different producers creating multiple varieties these days, one can experience a local brewer's take on a tradition, variation thereof, or a classic benchmark brand that is more widely available.

The Hard Stuff
It's hard for me to let my kids struggle, particularly when the kid is Reilly.
I was in my second hour of phone calls for the political campaign I'm involved in when I stopped to Google something on my iPad and saw an SOS from Reilly in the form of a Facebook message. "Mom, I don't know what to do. I'm stuck at Old Westbury and my phone is dead." This message was now two hours old. A quick scan of FB showed he'd been crying out for help from anybody at his New York Institute of Technology campus within eyesight of a digital screen. Of course, I immediately tried to call him, feeling stupid as I remembered the part about the dead cell phone. I pieced together what had happened, reading through his latest Facebook posts.
It was his first day of college-credit courses at NYIT's Old Westbury (Long Island) campus. Reilly's program, the Vocational Independence Program, is housed at NYIT's other location in Central Islip. Two days a week, he takes a shuttle van to the other campus for classes, along with other kids in the VIP program who are taking college-credit classes. I had been following his day on Facebook. His first class, Criminal Justice went well, but he was feeling a little adrift because he was the only VIP student in the class. He had lunch alone, but the OW campus has great pizza in their cafeteria, so there was that. He posted again during a break in his next class, Speech and Communications, again lamenting that he didn't know anyone else in the class, and complaining that class is three hours long. By the time the class let out, his phone was dead and he had missed the shuttle back to his home campus.
He did the only thing he could think of: He located a computer lab and started sending out digital cries for help. Some of his friends helpfully passed on the phone numbers for the Residence Assistance office, or the transportation office, but they did him no good, as his phone was dead. It didn't occur to him, apparently, to borrow a phone or to seek help from Campus Security or someone in authority. If he had been able to locate a pay phone, he most likely wouldn't have had change, or access to phone numbers to call. The action he took, while probably not the most efficient way to solve the problem, did eventually lead to his rescue. Someone notified the RA's office and the van was dispatched to pick him up.
I could tell from his FB posts that he was upset and frustrated, and I jumped into Mommy mode. I called the Director of Residence, Walter, a really nice guy, to find out what had happened and if Reilly had been located yet. Walter assured me they had the problem under control, and Reilly was on his way back to campus. "But he asked for help more than two hours ago!" I wailed. As Walter talked, I calmed down and realized it was a minor incident and Reilly had taken steps to resolve it himself. Yes, he immediately reached out to me, but when I was unavailable, he went about looking elsewhere for help. He didn't need me to rescue him, and it was better for him that I didn't.
Reilly needs to know he can do hard things, and solve problems on his own. Some struggling builds confidence and independence. He can be resourceful when he needs to be. His first instinct is to get help from Mom or Dad, and, as a youngest child myself, I get that. But the less available we are to run to his rescue, the quicker he learns to rely on himself. While I ache when I know he's in a sticky situation, I also know those are the times we learn what we are made of.
"I'm sorry you had a rough day," I commented on his Facebook page that night. "Tomorrow will be better." He texted me the next morning with the news that his advisor had moved him out of the three-hour speech class and into a Modern World history class with a professor he had last semester, and in which he will have VIP classmates. Problem solved. He still has one class completely on his own, but two might have been too much for him this semester.
By the next night he was excited about the NFL season opening game, and all was right in his world. I haven't heard much from him in the last few days, a good sign, I know.
My homework this semester is to hover less and trust more. Reilly needs to, and can, work out his troubles on own.

Today in everything that's wrong with the way kids are being raised in America: a junior high school in California has banned wearing skinny jeans, leggings, and yoga pants. Well, actually just girls are banned from wearing tight pants.
The boys? The boys can wear whatever they want ... the new dress code at Kenilworth Junior High is really just about keeping girls from "distracting" those hormonal teenage boys with their tempting gams.
THIS is the kind of thing that makes me want to lock my daughter up in her bedroom and throw away the key.
Not her luscious legs, but the fact that it's still OK to teach a bunch of teenage boys that they just can't help themselves for drooling all over the girls ... and girls are still being taught that it's their jobs to keep the boys in line.
That's really the message that's being sent by the ridiculous dress code at the Petaluma junior high, isn't it? Girls can't wear tight pants not because they've done anything wrong, but because their male classmates are acting like immature little jerks.
You'll have to pardon me for thinking here (after all, I'm just a girl, what do I know?), but wouldn't it be a whole lot easier to sit the boys down for a talk and tell them to cool it? Not only would it save the parents of every girl in the district from having to revamp their kids' wardrobes, but it would prepare the boys for what will happen when they walk out into a dress code-free world where women walk around flaunting bare ankles and even, gulp, showing their knees!
I don't have a son; I have a daughter. In my house, she's being taught to wear clothing that makes her feel comfortable and is "classy," but that's as far as we will go. We aren't going to teach her that she needs to change herself to keep boys in line because, frankly, that's not her job.
That's the boys' jobs ... and more importantly the jobs of the boys' parents. If you have a son, I need you to step up and teach him right from wrong. I need you to teach him to respect women, to teach him that it's not a girl's job to "cover up" so he doesn't get horny ... it's his job to get his hormones under control.
It will make for a much nicer world beyond junior high if you do ...
What do you make of this ban on tight pants for girls?

In a letter to Leon Weeks, past President of the Museum of Our Industrial Heritage, the importance of the proximity fuze is described. The radio transmitter component of the fuse was produced in Greenfield, Massachusetts, in a secretive plant owned by the Raytheon Company. The fuse was used in shells to down enemy planes during WWII. The fuze and the manufacture of its components were well kept secrets that helped win the war.

Kohr makes Augsburg switch from Leverkusen
Augsburg have signed teenage midfielder Dominik Kohr on loan from Bundesliga rivals Bayer Leverkusen until the end of next season.
The Germany Under-19 international has made only six league appearances for second-placed Leverkusen in the current campaign.
And the 19-year-old hopes to get more of a look-in at the SGL arena after agreeing to join Markus Weinzierl's side until June 2015.
"I hope the move to FCA will give me lots more chances of playing." Kohr said.
Big things are expected of Kohr, who won the DFB Fritz Walter medal for outstanding performances as a youth player two years running.
The promising midfielder joins Leverkusen's teenage forward Arkadiusz Milik on loan at Augsburg.
Augsburg also announced on Monday that United States defender Michael Parkhurst has left the club my mutual consent after he failed to make a single appearance for the club this season.
The full-back was eager to move on as he attempts to secure a place in the USA squad for the FIFA World Cup and has signed a deal with MLS outfit Columbus Crew.

Homonationalism: Queer tales of queer prides
There is a transition in the way nation-states are portraying queer people: from figures of death from AIDS to posterboys for the freedom and modernity of the 'progressive' West.

A short story about the Indian Constitution
On the centenary of his birth, Oishik Sircar recalls Saadat Hasan Manto's famous story about Ustad Mangu's faith in a new constitution. Does it offer us today a reality check on the gap between our Constitution's promise of emancipation and the reality of violence that it performs?

I have to be perfectly honest, I wasn't really looking forward to our "Circus" unit this past week. It is not that I don't like the circus, it is mainly because we had just finished up one of the most amazing units, "The Solar System". I was really afraid that our class might be a little bored but I think we manage to enjoy our discussions about the circus after all. We started our unit by talking about the wonderful circus clowns out of shapes. We all had a good time "screaming" out the different shapes we found. Hey, the circus is noisy so we were noisy this week too! :)
I love elephants and the circus always seems to highlight the big mammal. Several of my students had been to the circus this past week and they all were talking about the elephants, so we decided to make our own circus elephant.
Isn't he adorable?!?!?! Our circus elephants were a hit during circle time. Instead of using "your finger" to count the numbers, pick out the shapes, etc., we used our elephant's trunk!
We also enjoyed our "Circus Day" on Friday. Our art project was one that I'm not very sure worked out. We started with the child's hand print and three or four fingerprints (if you are 3 years old, you get 3 fingerprints, etc.).
After it dried we added the rest of the details
Instant clown, holding some balloons!
On Circus Day, the children were invited to come to school dressed as a clown. It was great! It still surprises me how many children don't enjoy "dressing up". About half of my class actually came dressed as a clown but that didn't stop anyone from participating in our circus games. Of course we had our "tight rope", which was a masking tape stuck to the floor in a giant square.
The tight rope is behind the balance beams.
The "high wire" was two balance beams
and of course there were the jugglers.
Juggling is not easy so I found these cute little popcorn holders at the dollar store (2 for a $1.00!) for us to use. Instead of trying to juggle 3 balls, we used giant pom-poms and threw them in the air and tried to catch them in the popcorn containers. FUN! And, the popcorn buckets will be used again and again in my classroom. I think they will be a great storage container for some of my games.
Our science experiment for the week was a lot of fun. Have you ever seen those "circus peanuts" at the store?
Well, let me tell you . . . they make a great science experiment by just putting them in the microwave! Putting things in hot/cold water or in the microwave is one of our favorite things to do. I found this post ages ago Science of Candy and it explains what happens to the marshmallows. I know most people would think a 3 or 4 year old would understand words like, "molecules", but they do. We make our predictions then watch what happens.
Those things really get big! On the left is our circus peanuts in hot water. It was a wonderful day!
Now that we have finished up our Circus Unit, we will spend next week talking exploring our unit of "Health". It should be a lot of fun. I hope you come back and visit us again.

On the afternoon of Jan. 17, when the temperature dipped below freezing, a family from Kingman drove to Wichita, dumped a 78-year-old relative at the Inter-Faith Inn homeless shelter and quickly drove away.
They left her on the sidewalk with her wheelchair and a few suitcases.
"She wasn't crying," case manager Amanda Merritt recalled. "But she was upset about the situation. She said they were kicking her out."
They left so quickly that no one from the shelter was able to talk to them, Merritt said. They didn't even knock on the shelter door to make sure there was room at the inn.

"That's unbelievable that someone would do that," said Janis Cox, co-chairwoman of Advocates to End Chronic Homelessness, an area faith-based volunteer group.
Shelter staff took the woman, who was in poor health, inside.
To accommodate her frailties, the staff hustled to set her up with a room on the ground floor.
She stayed at the shelter more than two weeks until she found an out-of-state friend who agreed to take her in. She left Wichita a week ago.
The woman's story may seem unbelievable, but it's not that rare, said Sandy Swank, director of housing and homeless services for Inter-Faith Ministries.
A 2010 study by the Homeless Research Institute, an arm of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, projected that the number of elderly people who are homeless would increase by 33 percent, from 44,172 in 2010 to 58,772 by 2020, and would double to 95,000 by 2050.
"It seems like there are two main things going on," said Nan Roman, president and chief executive of the alliance in Washington, D.C.
"One is that there's a group of people who are homeless who are becoming older. They were younger homeless people, so the population is aging that way. The other thing is that our whole population is aging. Even though older people are less likely to be homeless than other people because they have more of a safety net, because there are more and more older people in general, we are going to have more and more elderly people vulnerable to homelessness."
Numbers up locally
Swank sees the numbers increasing locally.
"I've been working at Inter-Faith since October 1990," she said. "In the beginning, we'd have an occasional elderly person come in, but if they came in, they came in with someone else. They always had someone to look after them. In the last 10 years, we have seen more elderly people, and each year it seems like the number increases."
Swank remembers another woman left at the shelter. She arrived in a hospital gown with no shoes. There was snow on the ground. The front left wheel of her wheelchair was off.
"I was just outraged," Swank said.
The woman eventually was able to move into an apartment of her own.
Inter-Faith's winter shelter has served 13 people over age 62 this year, more than double last year's total of five.
Swank points to a few theories about why the numbers are up – including, of course, the economy.
"Years ago, families did look after families," Swank said. "Today, because of the economy, a lot of people are at risk themselves. I think families can't afford to take care of each other like they used to. And we've become more mobile. We move away from our families of origin. We're spread out."
Inter-Faith is seeing mostly elderly people whose spouses have died, Swank said. Their spouses might have left behind a pile of medical expenses or credit card debt. She remembers one elderly woman whose husband died, leaving her with debt she didn't even know about.
"They end up losing everything," she said. "They're pretty vulnerable. They don't have a lot of experience, especially when the partner that's deceased was in charge of decisions. So they're pretty clueless about what to do."
Families 'very stressed'
Public awareness about the increase in homelessness among the elderly is a good place to start, said Cox, chairwoman of the area task force.
"Families are very stressed," she said. "With social services being cut by the government and nonprofits not receiving more donations, it just puts normal families under even more stress."
The Homeless Research Institute recommended as part of its study that policymakers and leaders:
• Increase the supply of subsidized, affordable housing for seniors.
• Create sufficient permanent supportive housing to end chronic homelessness.
• Conduct research to better understand the specific needs of elderly people who are homeless.
"We're millions of units short of low-cost housing," said Roman, with the national alliance. "Not attending to it is not very smart because especially with older people, they're going to get hospitalized, they're going to get put in nursing homes, and those are very expensive things to happen. It's much cheaper to keep them in regular housing."
Roman also emphasized that people who are homeless age much faster. So a 50-year-old person without a home will have far more medical problems than a 50-year-old person who does have a place to call home.
The oldest person at Inter-Faith's winter shelter was 83, Swank said.
She recalled a military veteran who didn't have any living relatives.
"We sort of adopted him like a grandpa," she said. "He had terminal lung cancer. We tore my office out of here and put a hospital bed in there. We've done extraordinary things. It'd be real easy to just say 'no,' but no can do."
He stayed at the shelter until his pain became unbearable. He wanted to die at the shelter, Swank said, where he had some semblance of family.
"But we couldn't administer pain meds," Swank said. "We put him in an ambulance to the hospital."
Homeless 'off and on' for 20 years
Dale Chilen recently landed in Inter-Faith's winter shelter after a visit to the Robert J. Dole Veterans Administration Medical Center's emergency room. A cab delivered the 78-year-old to the shelter on a Saturday night.
Swank just happened to see him arrive.
"He was so frail, in a wheelchair," Swank said. "I paid the cab driver to get him to Safe Haven. He was too vulnerable anywhere else. We're not a one-size-fits-all shelter, although sometimes I'd like to be."
Chilen said he was born and raised in Kansas but most recently had been living in Reno, Nev.
He arrived in Salina at the beginning of the year, he said, "walked about 20 feet and fell and broke my hip."
He said he went to a hospital in Salina and then to a senior center. He eventually came to Wichita.
Chilen stayed at Safe Haven, an Inter-Faith shelter for severely and persistently mentally ill or physically disabled people who are chronically homeless, for about a month.
The shelter "has been real good to me," he said.
On Wednesday, he started moving into a low-income apartment for seniors with the help of Inter-Faith Ministries and the Veterans Administration.
The VA Center said it could not talk about specific patients because of privacy rules.
"We're going to review the process to ensure we're providing the best care for our veterans," said Tyler Kilian, supervisor of ancillary services there.
Chilen, a Korean War veteran, said he has been homeless "off and on" for 20 years.
"I hate to admit it," he said from his wheelchair, proudly looking at a brochure about his new apartment complex.

*NSYNC's JC Chasez Saves One-Year-Old Baby In Miami
Should JC switch from singing to becoming a superhero? The crooner saved a life while vacationing!
While others were recovering from New Year's Eve festivities, JC Chasez heroically saved a baby girl on a Miami beach on New Year's Day! According to People, the America's Best Dance Crew judge stopped a flying umbrella from striking the child just in the nick of time.
A low-flying helicopter caused an umbrella to go flying across the Miami beach sand and head right toward the little girl. JC, who was on the beach with his girlfriend Nicole, reacted quickly and grabbed the umbrella before it struck baby Shirel Nissim, her mother Netali and their family.
"Shirel is safe because of him," Netali said. "I want to tell him thank you from the bottom of my heart. If it had not been for him, my daughter could have been seriously hurt."
Sources say JC was "Sweet and humble" about his heroic actions.

Sometimes, Gentle Readers, you can teach an old dog a new trick. Just when The Practical Cook thought her love of pimento cheese could NOT be any greater, along comes a new twist, in the form of being topped by pickled Granny Smith apples and red onions. Welcome to the Beaufort Grocery Company in Beaufort, NC (not SC). I almost wept into the canapes it was so delicious.
Let's roll the tape, shall we?
A note about the plate above. In the video I call it walnut brittle, as that is what the menu said, but further munching and crunching determined that it was pecan, and for more like a candied, spiced number than a brittle. It was delish, regardless.
Back to lunch, we had the appetizer, followed by a Blackened Grouper sandwich with feta, mango salsa, and greens. I tried to order the sweet potato chips, because that is what I do, but they were out.
To make up for it, they gave me some Texas caviar, and I fell in love. Seriously, I've been working to perfect it. They have a cookbook, and I'm strongly considering it for the caviar alone. I really heart black-eyed peas, and this was outstanding.
I was dining with Complicated Vegetarian, and her veggie wrap was good, but not off the charts. We've brunched at Beaufort Grocery before, and there were more veggie-friendly options then. We finished strong with pecan pie. It was deep, sweet, and almost overwhelming. I liked it a lot, but probably liked the spicy candied pecans a little more. The depth of pie meant not quite as many salty pecans to balance the sweet. However, I did lick the plate, I'm not going to lie.
If you go for brunch, just start ordering things, and don't look up until you're done. There is nothing bad on the brunch menu. For someone like me, who is allergic to shellfish and can get pretty tired of the "fried seafood joints," Beaufort Grocery is like a siren song. Special thanks to my MIL by Choice (we are related not by blood, but by her being awesome) and my SIL for the recommendation and accommodations!
