About Moataz
My promise to you is that I will teach you everything I know in the time I'm given and provide you with all sorts of outside resources to get you on your way to fluency and proficiency.
I'll make sure to do my absolute best to get you speaking a new language from day one, learning a Design program immediately, or teaching you how to letter with the rules they don't teach you in school. And best of all, I'll even show you how to actually make money with all of these.
I have a very unique journey into learning where I experienced many places and got a fresh and different understanding to the many su
My Design work has been very general so I've done a lot of different things before I specialized in hand lettering, so I've done it all from advertisements on billboards to website design and development, to copywriting, to branding from start to finish for companies big and small.
My love for lettering and Calligraphy emerged when I started getting more Logos for client work and my exploration of type wasn't the best answer most of the time so I would letter everything myself, and the rest is history.
I am really passionate about learning and even more passionate about sharing what I've learned. I am efficient, I know what works for different people since I taught in classrooms and tutored way before I knew about Takelessons, and I'm most proud of being praised as a very genuine person. A very common compliment I get is that I sincerely want my students to do well. And it makes me really happy every time someone says it, and I hope that one day you see that and tell me the same thing.
Feel free to find out more about me and ask me anything you want, and I really look forward to one day teach you something that will get you to achieve your goals! :)
Just so there are no surprises, I raise my prices very slightly every 3 months, next time it will go up is on March 3rd 2017. The reason for this is because I get better and more efficient at teaching as time goes by, so that hour that you get now is much more packed with value than the same hour last year or last month.

I have worked as a graphic designer for over 25 years and I learn and teach by showing the right way to no cutting corner initially so you have good base skills first, then you develop time saving short cuts and your own method of accomplishing a given task. I am patient enough with people to let the concept agree with their learning curve, not mine. And besides it's fun!

Elective angioplasty at L+M is preventing heart attacks
New London — On April 22, Willie and Debra Sinkfield were on one of their frequent visits to Foxwoods Resort Casino to play bingo when their evening took a sudden, scary turn.
"I felt like I couldn't breathe and I was sweating," Willie Sinkfield, 71, recalled Monday. "I had a burning in my chest."
Soon, Sinkfield was being tended by Lawrence + Memorial Hospital medics who whisked him into an ambulance. At L+M, the New Rochelle, N.Y., resident underwent emergency angioplasty surgery to reopen an artery and restore blood flow.
"He was having a big heart attack," said Dr. Brian Cambi, the interventional cardiologist who performed the surgery. "We took care of one artery that was 100 percent blocked off."
Two weeks later, Sinkfield returned to Cambi at L+M, this time for elective rather than emergency angioplasty. It's basically the same procedure, but done on partial blockages to pre-empt the next heart attack. During the first surgery, X-ray images and special dyes had revealed two other constricted arteries that Cambi recommended be repaired in the near future. Sinkfield could have gone to a hospital near his home, but decided he'd rather travel the 100-plus miles back to New London to stick with Dr. Cambi.
"When something goes wrong and the man who fixes it fixes it right, why go to anybody else?" said Sinkfield, who before retirement ran his own tailoring shop and worked in a swimming pool cleaning business.
On his second visit to L+M, Sinkfield became the 105th patient there to have elective angioplasty, a procedure the hospital began offering in February 2013. He left for home Tuesday morning, just 24 hours after his surgery, fully mobile and pleased with the care he'd received.
"I have no pain," he said. "The only bad thing I can say is that the bed was lumpy."
L+M is one of 10 hospitals in the state approved to offer elective angioplasty, and the only one east of the Connecticut River. Hospital spokesman Mike O'Farrell said that when the hospital proposed adding the service as a complement to emergency angioplasty, it projected doing a combined total of 160 to 170 procedures in the first year. After the first 12 months, it surpassed those projections, doing 187 angioplasties - 88 elective and 99 emergency - and it has done an additional 20 elective and 24 emergency cases since March 1. More complex elective cases are sent to Yale-New Haven Hospital as before, but patients like Sinkfield, with just one or two blockages, are ideal candidates for L+M, Cambi said.
"Most elective patients don't come to us after having an emergency angioplasty, but are identified by their cardiologist after having something short of a heart attack, like shortness of breath," he said.
When it approved L+M for the elective procedure, the state Office of Health Care Access noted that the next nearest hospital offering it is 49 miles away and that L+M had a successful track record of providing emergency procedures in affiliation with the Yale-New Haven Heart and Vascular Center since 2009 and would continue to work in affiliation with Yale on the elective cases. Cambi, who has done most of L+M's angioplasties, is medical director of the L+M Heart and Vascular Center and a Yale faculty member. With stylish running shoes under his scrubs and a relaxed, friendly manner both at the bedside and in the operating room, Cambi clearly enjoys explaining the techniques and advantages of angioplasty to patients and students alike.
"Thirty years ago, we had nothing but clot-busting medications," Cambi said, adding that the treatment had significant drawbacks.
In the 1980s, balloon angioplasty was introduced. A tiny, expandable, synthetic tube was inserted to restore blood flow through a blockage. The procedure improved significantly in the 1990s with the addition of reinforcing metal lace stents around the balloon, and then, in 2004, with medicated stents that prevent internal scarring around the affected blood vessels. In the latest incarnation of the procedure, demonstrated by Cambi Monday when he operated on Sinkfield, damaged arteries are accessed and repaired through a vessel in the wrist, using thread-thin wires and tiny tubes the cardiologist maneuvers through the vessels with the aid of X-ray images projected on a monitor.
"Willie, take a deep breath for me, as deep as you can," said Cambi to his patient, who was under "conscious sedation" for the procedure and was able to hear and respond to questions but would be unable to remember anything about the procedure afterwards.
Cambi kept his eyes on the monitor as Sinkfield inhaled.
"That's perfect," Cambi said. When the lungs expanded, he explained, one of Sinkfield's arteries straightened, enabling him to move the guide wire ahead toward the affected area.
After about an hour, the surgery was complete. Sinkfield's surgical wound was a small lesion on the inside of his left wrist that served as the port for the wire and stent. He had lost less blood than he would have from a bad cut.
Cambi had mended one artery that had lost 80 percent of its flow, and determined after a flow test that a second, less severe blockage could be kept from turning into a heart attack with prescriptions for statins, aspirin and other medications.
"Willie, we're done," Cambi said. "It looks great. The one area didn't need a stent, but for the other area, we needed two stents. But it looks beautiful."
Registered nurse Joanne Stevens, one third of the team that assisted Cambi, was by this time finished delivering the nitroglycerine, Heparin and other medications needed during the surgery. She leaned over the operating table to the patient.
"How you doing?" she asked Sinkfield.
"I'm doing all right," he said.

Review: TECHNOLOGICAL ECOLOGIES & SUSTAINABILITY
Posted: August 25th, 2009 | Author: benmccorkle | Filed under: Bookshelf, Research, Rhetoric, Writing | Tags: computers & composition digital press, review | No Comments »
The recently published edited collection Technological Ecologies & Sustainability (Dànielle Nicole DeVoss, Heidi A. McKee, and Dickie Selfe, eds.) is an important book for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it is the inaugural offering from the upstart Computers & Composition Digital Press [DISCLOSURE: I was part of a Flash-animation marketing campaign for the press, the first episode of which my kind readers may see here]. This press, under the imprint of the Utah State University Press and helmed by a group of new media scholars at a handful of institutions (The Ohio State University, Miami University, Illinois Institute of Technology, and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in partnership with the Institute for the Future of the Book), seeks to recreate academic publishing by bringing the whole enterprise online, lending its imprint to ebooks and innovative multimodal digital projects. Additionally, the press is an advocate of the open source/content movement, endeavoring to make its offerings as accessible as possible for its readers.
To that last point, TES is free for readers to read and download at their leisure (another important aspect of the book, as it acknowledges what I deem as imminent changes on the economic/political horizon for academic publishing). It is more or less an e-book, primarily packaged as a PDF, although there are short introductory videos for each section available, as well as some supplementary files associated with individual chapters (see the multimedia content associated with the chapters "A Portable Ecology" and "Sustaining Scholarly Efforts" for two examples). I suppose one might wonder why the first effort from this press wasn't more multimodal in format (although such projects are currently in production with the press), but to those naysayers I would counter by suggesting that a more familiar format is valuable for bringing in that initial (and perhaps initially wary) readership. Hook them with the (e-) book, and they'll likely stick around to see the more state-of-the-art multimodal offerings the next time around. Although I do not know this firsthand, I imagine that this decision was a deliberately strategic one, one that makes sense.
But on to the actual contents of the book: collectively, TES offers readers multiple perspectives of how to build, maintain, and sustain cultures of digital composing in academic environments, with the emphasis here on "culture"–this isn't just a book about how to set up a computer lab or what sort of digital video cameras you should buy, but an exploration of the intrapersonal, political, and material dynamics that run through our experiences with academic computing. These issues scale upwards, to be sure, involving not only our approaches to teaching with technology in the classroom or our larger scholarly discourse with colleagues about technology, but also how we interact with administrators to secure funding and support, the case we make to the general public for the inherent value of teaching and composing with digital technology, and even the attention we pay to matters related to responsible recycling practices, a matter that literally has a global impact.
TES is divided into four main sections, each one dealing with: 1) the classroom setting, 2) writing programs, 3) writing/research centers, and 4) the larger scholarly and environmental concerns that lie beyond academia. Again and again, the book persuasively offers up case studies ranging from the very local to the nearly global in scope, and demonstrating how vast, complicated, and interconnected such techno-ecological spaces often are. The goal here not only recognizing how such spaces are networked, but also one's own position within it and the degree of mobility one has given that position. This book is full of practical advice on how to bootstrap if you happen to be at a cash-strapped institution, how to integrate digital work in a writing program's curriculum, how to jawbone with skeptical administrative types, how to advocate for the validity of digital scholarship to the promotion-and-tenure gatekeepers in a department, and so on. The book includes a mixture of up-and-coming as well as more seasoned voices in the field in keeping with the collection's multifaceted, inclusive ethos; among the more notable names are Kathleen Blake Yancey, Patricia Sullivan, Cynthia Selfe and Gail Hawisher, Cheryl Ball, Patrick Bell, and Shawn and Krista Apostel.
To close, TES should appeal to a variety of readers–the writing instructor looking to assign multimodal compositions for the first time, the administrator looking to fund new computers for the campus's outdated labs, directors looking to start up a cutting-edge digital studio–all of whom will be well served by the book's overarching message encouraging such people to think about the larger context in which their work as digital humanists is situated. Ultimately, this work will prod readers to question the pragmatics, ethics, efficacy, and legitimacy of the specific work they do in digital writing environments, especially as it relates to the impact of those caught up in the same social network (and depending on how one defines that network, it can indeed be quite large). In all, this first showing from CCDP is a strong one, and hopefully more of the same is soon to come from this promising new press.

Makeover Your Business
Creating success is much easier when you're doing the things you love, today many stylists don't realize, that thanks to social media, you don't have to get the guests you get, you can get the guests you want. In the past in our industry, as it is still today, it was hard to build a clientele or business for ourselves, but unlike in the past, today we can better define ourselves by sharing our work. Sharing our work advertises our strengths and talents and attracts the guests we want - we can use a simple make-over to make-over our business. What kind of business do we want? How do we get them? How do we make sure we aren't stuck again with either not enough business or business we don't want?
It makes me laugh when I speak with friends and fellow salon professionals and they mention that they wish they had a different clientele or more guests. I usually ask, "What would you like?" The answer almost universally is, "…more fun, stylish/trendy guests or better clients." What is "better?" And, what causes the clients to be less fun and not stylish? Maybe it's not the clients that are the challenge, maybe it's how and who we're attracting as a business? I always think if I'm not getting the right guests, am I using the right bait to catch them?
Use MAKEOVERS to define your brand - let people know what you're best at, get guests that already love you (before they sit in your chair for the first time), do more of the work you love and create the business YOU want.
The mistake that is made, including by myself before I figured out branding techniques, is that in life, as in business (and even with a great makeover), it is not how much is changed, it's knowing what needs to be changed that's important. A new fringe, a different part or even a subtle shift from warm to cool might be the transformational key in taking someone from dull to beautiful and bright. In business it's the same, it might be learning why your accent color on the wall of the salon needs more thought than "it's my favorite color."
For good business, we need to understand how to create the same experiences in the salon, whether guests' eyes are open, closed, relaxed or daydreaming. For existing guests, we need to be true to what our brand stands for, and for new or potential guests, we need our brand to WOW and grab them instantly. It doesn't matter how they landed in the chair – word of mouth, walked pasted the salon or saw an image/ad, with the right makeover you turn heads.
A makeover should not be viewed by the client or stylist as personal, it's just someone not being seen at his or her full potential. When you think about it, a before isn't "ugly," the client just hasn't been packaged or branded correctly, yes? Because when you get right down to it, the beauty is there, it just needs to be highlighted.
I remember when we opened our last salon and my mom was looking at one of the images of a model we shot for a promotion. She saw it on the table because it caught her eye and she picked it up, looked at it carefully and said to me, "You know if I got this I wouldn't come to your salon." I smiled and said, "Mom, I'm not looking for guests like you to come to our salon." If you ever look at your book the night before and wish different guests were coming in...click the link below and sign up to learn how to use Makeovers That Makeover Your Business.
I'm sharing two "Makeovers That Makeover Your Business" classes/experiences this year that are open to all salon professionals, regardless of the products used in the salon. August 12-13th 2013 in Santa Monica and October 14-15th in Baltimore. Seating is limited, visit goldwellkmscalifornia.cvent.com/academy to attend.

Gillett and Johnston Clock Dial
Early 1950s
Gillett and Johnston
have been making clocks and bells
in Croydon since 1844.
The firm is famous around the world.
In the 1950s
they had lots of work.
Gillett and Johnston
brought back to life
clocks and bells
silenced by the Second World War.

Jack Nicolls
Jack talks about
working for Gillett and Johnston:
"After the war
it was amazing how the work came in,
because all the bells and clocks
were silenced through the war
and the only reason
they would have been allowed to be rung
was in the case of invasion,
and therefore
they deteriorated a lot."
"By the mid 50s
the work was just falling in,
we couldn't keep up with it.
You had to be a jack of all trades,
and master of all of them.
I've been through the foundry
and done casting, sandblasting,
machining, drilling, turning,
and hanging of the bells.
And we used to do our own brickwork,
bricking in the new bell frames
and clock frames."
"We were always outside,

When teams struggle to fill stadiums they often slash prices or give certain tickets away as free promotions. But should they should go even further and give every ticket away at no cost?
That's what the American Drag Racing League does. CEO Kenny Nowling tells CNBC that they charged no admission to any of their 10 races this year, but still averaged an impressive 68,000 fans per event.
(Decide for yourself if that's true by checking out their photos.)
The ADRL relies on parking, concessions, and souvenirs to drive their revenue. They can also charge more for advertising, because they can guarantee more eyeballs to sponsors.
Major League Baseball is one of the few sports that could get away with this, because the home team doesn't have to share gate receipts with the visiting team. However, many teams do have to share concessions and parking revenue with a city that owns (or co-owns) their stadium. Plus, they have 81 games to worry about, not 10. Oh, and multi-million-dollar salaries for their most important employees.
Baseball is also not a struggling niche sport looking for a way to spread word of mouth. They also don't have to spam their customers to create more income.
"Those who accept tickets to ADRL events have to opt-in to receive information from the ADRL and its sponsors and must write their name and mailing address on the back of the ticket, which they hand in at the gate.
"When companies do this, they usually get less than five percent of consumer data that turns out to be good," Nowling said. "Because we give our tickets away for free, people feel incentivized to give accurate information. Our hit rate is better than 50 percent."
Something tells me a Major League Baseball team isn't going to pay the bills with an email list.

Wedding planning: How to hire a Colorado pro to help on the big day
Planning a wedding can be a daunting enterprise. Hundreds of details are involved with pulling off the perfect nuptials and it's no wonder that wedding planners have sprung up to offer these services.
They can assist with every detail from ceremony queues to dog-walking services for family members, but how do you decide if you need one? How do you know that you aren't being ripped off?
Here's a step-by-step guide to hiring a wedding planner in Colorado, including tips from local wedding concierge and event planning expert, Allison Farrar of As You Wish:
1.Select your venue: Finding and booking your wedding venue will help you identify your planning needs. Many Colorado venues group on-site planning and concierge services into their wedding packages, some offer preferred vendor lists for planners, and some locations now require couples to hire a wedding planner. Even couples who opt for a backyard wedding at a friend's or family member's home may want to consult a wedding planner if all the details become too overwhelming.

The AAFP is calling on federal lawmakers to enact budget proposals that make sound investments in the nation's primary care infrastructure, saying that this is the only sure way to improve health care quality while reducing health care costs.
"If any budget proposal is to restrain the growth in health care spending successfully, it must support programs that build the family physician and primary care workforce, that pay for the quality and outcomes of medical care and that ensure all Americans have access to that care," said AAFP President Roland Goertz, M.D., M.B.A., of Waco, Texas, in a prepared statement.
Goertz's statement comes as both the White House(www.whitehouse.gov) and House Republicans(www.roadmap.republicans.budget.house.gov) have put forth fiscal year 2012 budget proposals that aim to address the nation's long-term fiscal problems. Each proposal would effectively cut billions from the Medicare and Medicaid programs during the next several years, a prospect Goertz denounced in his statement.
"Arbitrarily cutting the portion of funds the federal government pays will only push the cost of care onto patients, states or other sectors of the economy," he said. "This is not savings, nor is it a true solution to identified problems."
According to Goertz, it's important to remember that how money is spent for health care is equally as important -- if not more important -- than focusing solely on what is spent.
"Over the decades, study after study has shown that patients get high-quality care at less cost when their health care system is based on primary medical care," said Goertz. For that reason, he noted, the AAFP has consistently called for a health care system -- and the fiscal policies to support it -- that has, at its core, primary care and access to that care for everyone.
"Budget proposals must fund programs that focus on making our current system more efficient, that improve the balance between primary care and nonprimary care services, and that value the results of such a system," Goertz said.
"Such a model can expand patient access to care and enhance quality within the current level of overall spending, but it must rebalance our health care system on primary medical care and invest in and build the primary care physician workforce."

Likewise, nothing from the sea gets thrown away.
While the meal we had this week in Dallas was not likely anything that would ever be discarded, historically some of the elements were considered little more than food for poor people and animals. Chef John Tesar reanimated his memories from the Northeast, an area rich in Italian-American cultural drippings. John channeled his inner Italian with a meal, one of the best meals I have experienced in 2012 – and I have had some amazing meals this year (post coming). Special thanks to Maria for letting me know about this meal and getting our motley crew in.
Suffice to say the only thing missing from the meal (other than cod) was an occasional nod to the winemakers of Italy. And while the selections from Sommelier Sabrina Snodderly were spot-on and fabulous matches, I would occasionally lapse back on the wine trail in Italy, wondering how a particular dish would match up equally well with an Arneis, a Pecorino, a Fiano, a Verdicchio, a Franciacorta and yes my beloved Lambrusco di Sorbara. I made a note to revisit the list with Sabrina in the year 2013. Maybe even recreate an Italian wine dinner similar to the one John and his staff so lovingly created, but with an Italian wine twist.
In the meantime, while we are all still digesting our Christmas meal, take a look at the 7, no 10 courses we were served. Chef diverted a time or two from the set menu, if any of you are trying to match it up with the pictures.Happy holidays y'all!

So the Astros have thought about September 1, and what that could mean for the expanded roster. But not much.
We've gone over some things. Nothing is set in stone yet. It's kind of in the first phase of talking about it a little bit. There has been some [talks], but it's been very minimal.
So let's help them out. Here's a list of players on the 40-Man roster that could feasibly see some time on the bench in Houston, getting free plane rides around the country, and living off DAT PER DIEM.
Juan Abreu
J.A. Happ
Lucas Harrell
Wesley Wright
J.R. Towles
Chris Johnson
Brett Wallace
Jordan Schafer is off on a rehab assignment, and will be activated whenever they damn well feel like it, so he's not necessarily a candidate. Anyone missing?

The only reason Towles comes up is as an emergency catcher. I think the Astros are done giving him chances, and I'm starting to think they may be right. Maybe he never had what it takes, but I'll always wonder if Cooper & Co didn't ruin that poor kid.

I still think they should release JMike even if we expand rosters.

You may be tempted to think of area rugs as old-fashioned, boring, or purely utilitarian, but nothing could be further from the truth. Here are a few simple tips for tapping into the functional and beautiful potential of rugs that you may never have considered before.
Hanging out
One of the most basic but effective tricks you can try is simply to move the carpet off the floor. After all, what's stopping you from making it into a work of art? This type of wall hanging is essentially a tapestry, but you can modernize this idea by choosing a rug in a bright, solid color or with a vivid pattern to liven up a sleek, contemporary space. Feel free to hang multiple rugs together in an interesting pattern, or turn them at unusual angles. You can use a rod to hang them by their top edge to create a tapestry effect.
When deciding where to place a rug, the sky's the limit - or maybe just the ceiling. Turn your room upside down by covering your ceiling with a carpeted checkerboard or other design. Wherever you decide to decorate, make sure the color and style of your rugs complements your curtains, blinds and shades.
Taking a seat
Once you're done carefully arranging your new wall art, you'll probably want to sit down for a minute. What better place to rest than a rug? This may sound strange and uncomfortable, but keep in mind that rugs have been used as seating around the world throughout history. A small pile of rugs makes a surprisingly cushy seat perfectly suited to a low table or a kid's corner.
Alternately, you can use carpeting to put a new twist on preexisting furniture. This can be as simple as placing a few rugs on top of a wooden bench as cushioning, or as elaborate as using them to reupholster the seat or back of a chair.
Making the old, new
Even the best rugs may eventually start to wear out. This gives you a great opportunity to update your style with something new, but that doesn't mean you need to throw out the old one just yet. Old rugs are perfect for projects that require you to cut them apart, which you may be reluctant to do with one you've just bought.
Cutting a rug down into placemats, for example, is one option for repurposing the rug. The fabric is very durable - you're meant to walk on it, after all - so this could be a great way to protect your table from kids and other messy eaters. They're also ideal for dining outside.

University of Colorado officials said Tuesday that longtime sociology professor Patti Adler might have a chance to teach her popular "Deviance in U.S. Society" course this spring if a review before the start of the semester finds the class appropriate.
CU officials had said previously that Adler would not be allowed to teach the course in the spring because of a lecture about prostitution.
"If Professor Adler were to agree to a review of her 'Deviance in U.S. Society' (course) prior to the spring semester by a group of her peers in sociology or perhaps by her sociology colleagues joined by other faculty colleagues from CU-Boulder, and that review resulted in an OK of the course and its materials and techniques, or recommended structural changes acceptable to her, Professor Adler could be back teaching the course in the spring semester," CU spokesman Mark Miller said late Tuesday afternoon.
Miller said the sociology department's executive committee members decided Monday that if Adler requested a review of the course, they would conduct the review. The full sociology department confirmed that decision Tuesday, Miller said.
He added that the review doesn't have a timeline and can be conducted by the sociology department whenever Adler requests it.
The statement from Miller was in stark contrast to an email blast that went out to the CU community Monday from Provost Russell Moore.
In the email, Moore said Steven Leigh, the College of Arts and Sciences dean, and sociology chairwoman Joanne Belknap "determined that Professor Adler would not teach the class in the spring semester (2014)."
Moore said the decision was a result of the administration hearing from several "concerned" students about the prostitution lecture, which is delivered as a skit performed by undergraduate teaching assistants.
The announcement that Adler's deviance course could undergo a review before the spring semester came the same day that Leigh met with several students who voiced their support for Adler.
Miller said the review was not a result of that meeting with students. He added that the course review would have to be "fast-tracked" in order to finish before the start of the spring semester and that Adler has not agreed to a review.
He said the option of a review has been communicated to Adler.
Miller also confirmed Tuesday that CU offers "retirement incentives" to select faculty members. His description of the incentives matched the description of the "buyout" Adler said she was offered earlier this month.
"As a strategic budget saving measure, the university has offered retirement incentives to select faculty who are eligible," Miller said. "In essence, a professor who elects to accept a retirement incentive would get two years of salary paid out over five years, typically into the faculty member's retirement plan."
Faculty Assembly to hold 'emergency meeting'
CU faculty members announced they will hold an "emergency meeting" Wednesday to discuss Adler's fate with Leigh.
Boulder Faculty Assembly chairman Paul Chinowsky said in an email to faculty members that the meeting will allow for questions and discussion. The assembly typically meets the first Thursday of every month, and the December meeting already was held Dec. 5.
The emergency meeting will be at 10:30 a.m. at the University Club.
During a Nov. 5 lecture on prostitution, some of Adler's teaching assistants dressed as various types of prostitutes and other characters to portray their lifestyles for the class.
That lecture was reviewed by the Office of Discrimination and Harassment, which found it to be a "risk" to the university, according to Adler.
Adler, who's been teaching at CU since 1987, said she was given an ultimatum this month by university administrators that required her to either retire or stay at the university but not be able to teach her class on deviance next spring.
Some faculty members expressed discomfort with the situation, saying it appeared to limit Adler's academic freedom.
In a public blog post, CU environmental studies professor Roger Pielke Jr. wrote that he found the situation to be "concerning."
"I am also concerned because next semester I am teaching a course in which issues of gender, sex, discrimination, race and other potentially sensitive topics appear throughout the syllabus," Pielke wrote. "Will I be at risk of losing my job if university officials don't like how I teach these issues? What if a student is 'uncomfortable' because of the material or exercises in the class?"
Academic freedom vs. harassment policies
University officials said there's long been discussion about how to protect academic freedom while taking reports of sexual harassment and sexual assault seriously.
In cases where course materials include discussions, graphics or texts about sexuality, that discussion can get tricky, CU officials said.
CU Board of Regents law defines academic freedom as "the freedom to inquire, discover, publish and teach truth as the faculty member sees it, subject to no control or authority save the control and authority of the rational methods by which truth is established."
Though CU officials would not confirm an investigation into Adler's lecture on prostitution by the Office of Discrimination and Harassment, Moore, the provost, suggested that Adler might have violated the campus sexual harassment policy, writing Monday that "academic freedom does not allow faculty members to violate the University's sexual harassment policy by creating a hostile environment for their teaching assistants, or for their students attending the class."
Several students came forward to university administrators about Adler's prostitution skit, according to Moore's statement.
"Student assistants made it clear to administrators that they felt there would be negative consequences for anyone who refused to participate in the skit," Moore wrote.
Moore declined to comment further on the situation Tuesday.
Officials in CU's Office of Discrimination and Harassment and Office of Student Conduct did not return voicemail messages left Tuesday.
According to the Office of Discrimination and Harassment website, sexual harassment is "unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature."
To violate CU's policy on sexual harassment, the behavior must create a "hostile environment, meaning the behavior must be severe or pervasive enough to interfere with a person's learning, working or living environment."
Many of Adler's "assistant teaching assistants" have said in interviews with the Camera that they were given the choice to participate in the prostitution skit and that their decision not to participate would not negatively affect their grade. Assistant teaching assistants are undergraduates who help with lectures, administrative tasks and grading exams for class credit.
CU spokesman Miller said the university does not disclose the findings of the Office of Discrimination and Harassment because they are confidential.
"Making findings public could expose anyone bringing forward concerns to the (Office of Discrimination and Harassment) to retaliation and could deter future complainants from coming forward," he said.

Joe Ordaz curses the day he inhaled the infected droplet of disease that has doomed him to isolation.
"I got it from the street, from the air," the 51-year-old said through a stiff, pink surgical mask. "I don't know how else."
Ordaz, who once worked in shipping and receiving in a warehouse in downtown Los Angeles, has drug resistant tuberculosis and has lived the last few months in a hospital room in Sylmar, inside one of only a handful of such TB wards in the nation. Had he become sick with regular tuberculosis, he would have been given four of 10 drugs for about six months. But because his case is complicated, the Tuberculosis Unit at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center is the only place west of Texas that can help those like Ordaz, who face a potential fatal form of the disease.
"There is a big problem with drug-resistant TB in the United States," said Dr. Glenn Mathisen, director of the infectious diseases department at Olive View in Sylmar.
Olive View has one of the most aggressive programs in the nation where those with the toughest multidrug-resistant tuberculosis can receive treatment, Mathisen added.
But that means patients must live at Olive View for months, more than a year if necessary, since even the most potent TB drugs available may not always work at first.
"We can confine someone in quarantine until they have a (negative) smear," he said.
That Olive View is home to one of four such units in the nation means the medical center has not only come full circle from its origins, but it plays an important role on the national public health scene when it comes to infectious diseases.
The hospital was first founded in 1920 as a tuberculosis sanitorium, at a time when the infectious disease had gripped industrialized society, hitting those who lived in crowded conditions and in big cities. The disease is typically spread through the air by a cough or sneeze and those with active TB can experience a chronic cough with blood-tinged phlegm, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. In the early 20th century, patients were referred to the east San Fernando Valley facility from crowded County General Hospital in Los Angeles. Back then, those with consumption were prescribed rest, sunshine and fresh air for several months, even years. Some people stayed so long that the sanitorium had a library, a chapel, radio station, patient newsletter and a post office, according to newspaper accounts. But with better drugs and awareness, TB dwindled and over time Olive View evolved into an acute care hospital. Its TB past was further erased after the 1971 Sylmar Earthquake destroyed several buildings. Olive View remained shuttered until 1987.
In 2011, the hospital opened its $53-million upgraded emergency department. The renovation included the high tech isolation unit that is equipped to withstand a bioterrorism attack.
But a few years before it opened, county officials wondered if it would be used. Reports of tuberculosis continued to decline. Last year, there was a slight uptick — 666 cases in Los Angeles County, or a 7 percent increase from 2012. The cases were primarily among the homeless population.
About 80 percent of all of last year's cases were among those who were foreign born and who were infected in their home countries, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
Many of the cases, were found among those who lived in the San Gabriel Valley.
Those who become ill often have other health challenges, including chronic diseases such as diabetes, said Dr. Caitlin Reed, medical director, Inpatient Tuberculosis Unit at Olive View.
"This is a challenging time because resources for TB treatment are dwindling as the public health 'safety net' for TB care is damaged by budget cuts, and because at the same time TB patients are becoming more complex, with multiple medical problems such as diabetes, hepatitis, and kidney problems," Reed said.
And it's a challenge to cure someone who has developed multidrug-resistant TB, which are the cases typical at Olive View, Mathisen added. The second and even third line of drugs used to treat those with resistant TB are difficult to tolerate, with harsh side effects, Mathisen said.
One new drug has been developed, but is in limited use. Reed and other experts such as those from Doctors Without Borders want the Food and Drug Administration to approve the drug, called delamanid, so that it can be used more widely.
Delamanid is produced by a Japanese drug maker and has been approved for conditional use by the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, for only some patients with drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis. It is only the second new TB drug to be developed in 50 years. The other one has harsh side effects, doctors have said, which is why health experts are reluctant to rely on it.
"This is an exciting time to work in TB because for the first time in half a century we have new tools to diagnose TB and new drugs becoming available to treat it — and we have the possibility of curing even the most drug-resistant TB patients," Reed said. Meanwhile, inside the unit, where the floors shine and the negative air pressure forces even the tiniest infected particle out of the hospital, some patients are allowed to go outside onto the patio to sit in the sun.
Among them is Tamara Moore, 44. Moore was suspected of having tuberculosis while she was at a treatment center, and she was directed to Olive View by a Los Angeles County judge.
"Everyone is very nice," she said. "But it's very hard to be in isolation and in your room all the time. I hate soap operas."
Moore isn't as ill as some of the half dozen patients currently at the unit, including Ordaz, who has been there since February. But if county health officials find that someone may place the public at risk, he or she is ordered to come to the unit.
"If they can't comply with the (drug) regimen, the county will go to public health court and that person will be ordered to come here until they are deemed negative," Mathisen said. "We make sure they are on the correct path until they get better."

Disability Programs and Resource Center
The Disability Programs and Resource Center (DPRC) collaborates with SF State's diverse community to ensure that all aspects of campus life—learning, working, and living—are universally accessible. The DPRC provides the University with resources, education, and direct services in order that people with disabilities may have a greater opportunity to achieve social justice and equity.
Students with mobility, hearing, visual, communication, psychological, systemic (HIV/AIDS, environmental illness, etc.), and learning disabilities are encouraged to attend SF State. The DPRC is available to facilitate equal access to the classroom and to campus-related programs and activities. Eligible students with a verified temporary or permanent disability who are regularly enrolled or enrolled through the College of Extended Learning are provided with a full range of support services in order that they may define and achieve personal autonomy at SF State. The DPRC also provides assistance to eligible students in managing DPRC services, campus-wide access, attitudinal barriers, other campus resources, and disability civil rights.
Support Services
Prospective students are encouraged to contact the DPRC early in the admission process in order to receive assistance and information about services. Students with disabilities need to apply for admission to the University using the standard admissions process. If the student's disability has prevented them from meeting any admission requirements and they believe they are an "otherwise qualified applicant," they may be eligible to request alternative admissions assistance directly from the admissions office. On a case-by-case basis, the DPRC examines an applicant's documentation and academic record to determine whether or not to support a recommendation for alternative admissions. The DPRC cannot offer alternative admissions assistance to prospective students who have not completed their admissions application and submitted all final transcripts. Students may also be eligible for one or more services, depending on the specific nature of their disabilities. Disability verification must be provided when registering with the DPRC. Specific services include the following:
- Academic Assistance
- Assistive Technology
- Alternate Media
- Deaf & Hard-of-Hearing Services
- Disability Management
- On-campus Shuttle Service
- Parking
- Priority Registration
- Test Accommodations
Complaint/Grievance Procedures
Every effort is put forth to ensure that students, faculty, and staff with disabilities at San Francisco State University receive the services and accommodations to which they are entitled under federal law. Generally, the campus community is sensitive to the need for accommodation. However, if an oversight to physical or programmatic access occurs at SF State, students and employees with disabilities have protection under Section 504 and the ADA. Students may file a complaint about University faculty, staff, administrators, or disability-related issues by following these procedures, which can also be found at: http://access.sfsu.edu/content/accessibility-oversights.
- Discuss the problem with a DPRC Specialist. With permission of the student, the DPRC Specialist will contact the faculty and/or staff on campus in an attempt to work out a solution to the problem.
- If the complaint is not satisfactorily resolved, or if the issue is with the DPRC Specialist, the student may meet with the DPRC Associate Director.
- A grievance that is not resolved to the student's satisfaction by the DPRC Associate Director may then be addressed to the DPRC Director.
- When a grievance cannot be resolved informally as described above, students can pursue their claims under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. To file a Section 504/ADA grievance, http://access.sfsu.edu/content/accessibility-oversights.
- At any time students may file a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). It is the DPRC's hope, however, that students will give the campus the chance to address their problems in a timely manner.

In a company blog post earlier today, Cole Brodman, Chief Marketing Officer for T-Mobile USA, told customers that they were interested in offering a "no-compromise iPhone experience" on their network, but offered little details on the negotiations between the carrier and Apple.
We've heard from many customers who love their T-Mobile service, but are disappointed that we don't carry the iPhone. To these customers, first, thank you for your business. Please know that we think the iPhone is a great device and Apple knows that we'd like to add it to our line-up. Today, there are over a million T-Mobile customers using unlocked iPhones on our network. We are interested in offering all of our customers a no-compromise iPhone experience on our network.
One interesting takeaway is the current amount T-Mobile customers using an unlocked iPhone on the service. Although T-Mobile has never offered the iPhone to its customers, over a million users have been able to unlock the iPhone to run on the network.
Funny, though, that Brodman went into how T-Mobile offers a plethora of Android devices to cull would-be iPhone users until they're officially under the Apple umbrella. Given recent surveys suggesting roughly 31 percent of current Android device owners are planning on jumping ship to the iPhone as their next purchase, this doesn't bode well for T-Mobile who currently has the lowest number of US customers (around 32 million).
It will be interesting to see how the AT&T/T-Mobile merger plays out and if that will have any impact on T-Mobile finally offering the iPhone to its customers.

DENVER—Two Republicans were sworn in Thursday to replace the Colorado Senate Democrats they defeated in historic recalls over new gun restrictions.
Former Colorado Springs Councilman Bernie Herpin and retired Pueblo police officer George Rivera took the oath of office in front of a Senate packed with Republican lawmakers and other supporters in the gallery. They were greeted with loud cheers and applause.
Herpin said in his opening speech that he would "never forget the lesson of this summer."
"We serve at the pleasure of those we represent," he said.
The recalls last month marked the first time in state history legislators were ousted from office and reflected the continued debate over what gun restrictions, if any, are needed.
The wins boost the GOP's power in the Senate, narrowing the Democrats advantage in the chamber to an 18-17 margin. Democrats control the House 37-18.
Herpin replaces Sen. John Morse and Rivera replaces Sen. Angela Giron. The defeated Democrats remained firm over their support for the new gun laws. The limits on ammunition magazines and expanding background checks to private and online firearm sales were reactions to mass shootings at a suburban Denver movie theater and a Connecticut elementary school last year.
"I leave the legislature with no regrets," said Morse, who held the Democrats' top-ranking position in the chamber as Senate president. He noted that a neighborhood in his district has a high-rate of gun deaths, and that he "served families who expect, at a minimum, that we will prevent criminals from getting guns."
Giron said that her departure from office was not on her own terms, but added that she left "with my integrity intact and with the sure and certain knowledge that Colorado and Pueblo are safer with these modest gun safety laws."
Rivera's voice wavered as he thanked his family and then looked up to the gallery to acknowledge election volunteers. He said a friend had warned him not to get emotional.
"Can't help it," he said.
Democrats will have leadership elections in the coming weeks to select a new Senate President.
Although Democrats still control both legislative chambers, the slim margin in the Senate is sure to make it difficult for the party to continue the aggressive policy agenda Republicans criticized them for this year.

I was down kiting in Costa Rica recently.
One session I was riding a 10 m kite (4 line bar) in 20 - 25 kt winds (73 kg).
My kite went down and tumbled and my front and rears lines were crossed. Since I was in shoulder depth water I thought not a big deal I will walk the kite the 75 m back to shore with the kite at the edge of the wind window closet to the beach. As I started to head to shore the wind picked up and started to gust to ~40 kts. The kite started to lift and wanted to go 'wild'. So I thought better to release the chicken loop. I have my safety attached to the ring below the CL. I have a lot of throw in my bar and usually have the stopper more then a meter away from the chicken loop. The kite was still sitting at the edge of the window fluttering but took off and went right across the wind window lifting me thourgh the air. Now the kite was sitting at the opposite edge away from shore which was OK. As I approached shore there was a certified kite instructor (wearing harness) on shore talking to a student (no kite). I called out to them for help and she came over. I said to her I wanted her to run out and grab the kite. It was ankle deep water (23 m to kite) . She said no just keep walking up on shore and she would grab it when it reached shore. I could see the kite fluttering like crazy and said no please go out and grab the kite. I believe she would be in no danger as she would be up wind of the kite and lines at all times. She continued to say no. I was worried that if the kite decided to power through the wind window then I could get launched into a near by tree. I couldn't argue with her forever so I started walking backwards pulling the safety leash. I went about 5 m and the kite took off. Luckily it only went up about 10 m but it happened so fast and powerful I was launched 3m into the air and landed head first into the hard sand. Luckily I was wearing a helmet and only had a sore neck the following morning. The kite was pushed into shore at that time and the instructor then grabbed it. I have been kiting for 10 yrs and am a strong intermediate. In my view the only two safe options in these conditions were 1. grab the kite 2. release the safety.
Would you have done anything differently?

My meringue cracked at little but it makes no difference to the flavour and I don't think it spoils the look either:
There is something temptingly luscious about a big pavlova; the individual ones make it to the plate more beautifully but a big pavlova –requiring two hands to transport to the dining table - brings out far more greedy desires.
Slices are messy and the fruit and cream tumbles out onto the plate:
The combination of berries, so juicy, delicious and richly coloured at this time of year, contrasts wonderfully with the snowy meringue, particularly when the fruit juices mingle with the cream:
It's such an easy to make crowd pleaser. I like my meringue crisp on the outside but soft and cloudlike inside:
I end with a plea: has anyone else had trouble with blogger during the past week? I've had lots of error messages when trying to upload photos - they all begin with a BX reference number, and when I have uploaded photos it won't let me click and drag them into position (i.e. scrolling down through my post); I have to move them down a screen at a time...which takes ages. Is it blogger or me? Any ideas? I know you're a clever bunch so throw myself on your mercy!
For the meringue:
6 egg whites
375g caster sugar
For the custard cream:
600ml double cream
500ml good quality ready made custard
For the fruit:
I used a supermarket punnet each of raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and strawberries but couldn't fit them all on.
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 150°C/fan oven 130°C/300°F/Gas mark 2.
- Line a large flat baking sheet with baking paper.
- Whisk the eggs whites to the stiff peak stage then gradually whisk in the sugar until you have a thick, glossy meringue.
- Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet and shape into a bowl – the meringue is good natured and you can sculpt it quite easily.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until pale and crisp.
- Turn off the oven and leave the pavlova to cool in the oven with the door slightly open.
- When cold you can store overnight in an airtight container until needed.
- When ready to serve (don't do this in advance or the meringue will go soggy) make the cream filling: whisk the cream until it is just about holding soft peaks, then whisk in the custard a spoonful at a time.
- Spoon the custard cream into the meringue case and top with fruit of your choice.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

Man is accused of lewd acts with 11-year-old girl
A Taft man accused of sexually molesting an 11-year-old girl last year is scheduled to go on trial in Bakersfield this later this month.
Efrain Velasco-Palacios faces five felony counts of committing lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14.
He was being sought by Taft Police and was arrested by Kern County Sheriff's deputies following a traffic stop in the area of Highway 119 and Cedar Street.
Deputies were seeking Velasco-Palacios on separate charges when they spotted him driving in the Ford City area. He ran from deputies after stopping the car but was arrested after a short chase.
Police had been looking for Velasco-Palacios for several days.
They received a report from the mother of the victim and an investigation led them to suspect he had molested the girl several times in October and November of 2012, Taft Police Lt.. Pete Aranda said.
Velasco-Palacios is also charged with felony vandalism, resisting arrest and spousal abuse from other cases.
Velasco-Palacios had pleaded not guilty to the molestation counts and was ordered to stand trial at a preliminary hearing in September.
His trial date is Oct. 28.
He is being held on a no-bail immigration hold.
