The classrooms continue to evolve into school stewardship and service learning in partnerships with parks and environmental organizations. The ITW project starts with five Elementary Globe books that link science, math and literacy. Fiction becomes reality during field training that uses GLOBE books as blueprints for how teachers can guide their students to conduct their own research to enhance understanding of the environment. The project trains teachers to design and supervise grade-appropriate research projects using GLOBE protocols in local parks; support them during those projects; and host annual research symposia during which students present their results. The project's template of immersing teachers and students in environmental research is becoming a national model for improving environmental literacy in all school systems. The NYU Wallerstein Collaborative for Urban Environmental Education works in partnership with Into the Woods to connect teachers to the resources, materials, and strategies required to successfully implement environmental education, outdoor learning, service learning and hands-on experiences across all grade levels and curriculum areas.

Preparing Norfolk Area Students for America's Second Highest Sea Level Rise
Elizabeth River Project offsite link · Portsmouth, Virginia
Children in the Norfolk, Va., area will inherit the highest sea level rise on the East Coast, second to New Orleans. In response, the non-profit Elizabeth River Project educated 25,333 students, 2,586 teachers, 63 Youth Resilience Leaders and 5 NEW River Ambassadors through a high school Youth Conservation Intern program for at-risk students. In addition, 180 River Star Schools and 13 new Resilient River Star Schools were recognized for implementing environmental projects addressing restoration, conservation, flooding and reducing their carbon footprint.

In addition, 180 River Star Schools and 13 new Resilient River Star Schools were recognized for implementing environmental projects addressing restoration, conservation, flooding and reducing their carbon footprint. The Elizabeth River Project prepared one of the first comprehensive youth education programs on resilience on this coast. The Elizabeth River Project, working since 1993 to restore the environmental health of the urban Elizabeth River, deployed its Dominion Energy Learning Barge, "America's Greenest Vessel," and its new urban park, Paradise Creek Nature Park, to empower K-12 students over three years to become informed decision makers and environmental stewards, prepared to adapt to rising seas. The project reached under-served schools in Norfolk and adjoining Portsmouth, Virginia. The lead science partner was Old Dominion University, on the forefront of climate change research and the University of Virginia for evaluation of education programs. Other partners included the Chrysler Museum of Art, ground zero for street flooding that has become routine in Norfolk. Elizabeth River Project's first Youth Resilient Strategy Resilient Youth – South Hampton Roads A Pioneer Strategy of Hope and Action to Prepare Those Who Will Inherit Rising Seas. This plan is the first in America to call on educators, both in our schools and in the community, to help our youth prepare to inherit these extraordinary and increasing challenges. The youth plan will complement Norfolk Resilient City, a call to adults to prepare for rising seas and related challenges with a vision for our children to become hopeful, resilient leaders who innovate and persevere to safeguard our community as our lives change with a changing environment. The Elizabeth River Project will also serve as the Clearing House for education resources, activities and curriculum related to resilience as we launch a Youth Resilient Educators page at www.elizabethriver.org. Additional partners included: City of Norfolk Resilience Office, Norfolk and Portsmouth Public Schools, Wetland Watch and Hampton Roads Sanitation District.

The RiSC teams will follow a resilience assessment process modeled after the NOAA Community Resilience Index to develop resilience projects for their schools and neighborhoods. These Students will then present their resilience plans to NYC Department of Education officials and representatives from the NYC's Office of Resilience and Recovery at RiSC Summits coordinated with the Science and Resilience Institute at Jamaica Bay. The RiSC Program and Climate RiSC Curriculum will be integrated into National Wildlife Federation's Eco-Schools USA program and disseminated nationally through the networks of the project partners.

Convening Young Leaders for Climate Resilience in New York State
Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks / The Wild Center offsite link · Tupper Lake, New York
The Wild Center's Convening Young Leaders for Climate Resilience in New York State project will increase climate literacy among high school students and teachers in New York City, the Catskills and the Adirondacks and give students the leadership skills to help their communities respond to the impacts of climate change.
The Wild Center's Convening Young Leaders for Climate Resilience in New York State project will increase climate literacy among high school students and teachers in New York City, the Catskills and the Adirondacks and give students the leadership skills to help their communities respond to the impacts of climate change. Working with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Delaware County, the Kurt Hahn Expeditionary Learning School in Brooklyn, and the Alliance for Climate Education, along with NOAA, the New York State Office of Climate Change and NYSERDA, the project comes at a time when the impacts of climate change loom larger than ever. But today's youth – the generation most likely to mitigate its impacts – have had little exposure to the issue: Just 25 percent of American teens demonstrate a basic understanding of it. Project partners will incorporate state, regional and local planning in their efforts, which will establish Youth Climate Summits and Youth Climate Leadership Practicums in the three project regions; build on educators' interests through a Teacher Climate Institute; and communicate climate change science and resilience through community outreach activities. By the conclusion of the project, we expect to work directly with more than 600 students and 200 teachers, each of whom will gain a better understanding of the impacts of climate change in New York State, a greater capacity to make informed decisions about the threats to their own regions, and a stronger connection with other community members and ongoing resiliency work. In addition, the project will also create replicable tools, video documentation for local outreach, and training approaches for youth leadership and teachers regardless of their location.

As the June 5 runoff election nears, doubts surround both the Peruvian Nationalist party candidate Ollanta Humala and his right-wing opponent Keiko Fujimori. Residents in Ciudad de Dios, a slum in Lima, painted a sign on their house in support of Mr. Humala.
Ollanta Humala, the front-runner in Peru's coming presidential election, has distanced himself from the far-left leanings of his 2006 bid in favor of a more populist approach, but transforming voters' doubts into support is proving difficult.

Peter Thiel Is Interested in Harvesting the Blood of the Young
J.K. Trotter
Filed to: blood
parabiosis

Peter Thiel, the tech billionaire-turned-Trump delegate who successfully bankrupted Gawker Media, has long been obsessed with anti-aging technologies. He believes people have been conned by "the ideology of the inevitability of the death of every individual," and has funded startups dedicated to extending the human lifespan. According to Jeff Bercovici of Inc. magazine, Thiel is so afraid of dying that he has begun exploring a novel, and fairly unsettling, technique: Harvesting, and injecting himself with, the blood of younger people.
In an unpublished interview with Bercovici last year, Thiel admitted that he was interested in adding young-to-old blood transfusions to his personal health regimen:
After briefly discussing the pros and cons of caloric restriction, human growth hormone and the diabetes drug metformin, Thiel said this:
I'm looking into parabiosis stuff ... where they [injected] the young blood into older mice and they found that had a massive rejuvenating effect. ... I think there are a lot of these things that have been strangely underexplored.
I followed up to ask if he meant parabiosis was "really interesting" as a business opportunity or a personal-health treatment. He made it clear he was talking about the latter. "That would be one where it's more just, do we think the science works? Some of these it's not clear there's actually a great company to start around it. ..."
Last month, Gawker noted that the logical endpoint of Thiel's dystopian world vision could feature an economy in which the wealthy, who wished to live forever, subsist on the blood of the poor, who would die at a normal age.
It turns out that we weren't that far off the mark. Bercovici also talked to Jesse Karmazin, the founder of Ambrosia LLC, a company in Monterey, California that recently began recruiting volunteers for a clinical trial in which people older than 35 would receive blood plasma injections from people younger than 25. Karmazin told him that one of Thiel's employees contacted him to discuss the trial after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted approval:
While Ambrosia advertised the study to attract participants, it didn't seek broader coverage. So Karmazin was somewhat surprised to get a message from Jason Camm, chief medical officer at Thiel Capital, who expressed interest in what the company was doing. ... An osteopath with a background in treating elite athletes, Camm is "Personal Health Director to Peter Thiel...and a number of other prominent Silicon Valley business leaders and investors," according to his professional profile.
In his interview with Bercovici, Thiel said that he hadn't actually injected himself with young blood. If you write about Silicon Valley, however, you've probably heard rumors to the contrary. In June, for example, Gawker received a tip, which we were unable to verify, claiming that Thiel "spends $40,000 per quarter to get an infusion of blood from an 18-year-old based on research conducted at Stanford on extending the lives of mice." When we asked Thiel if this was true, he did not respond.
If you know any more details about Thiel's attempts to live forever, please get in touch.

Trinity Alumnus Wins Pulitzer Prize
It is unlikely that 33 years ago Michael Lindenberger dreamed of winning a Pulitzer Prize. The 1989 Trinity graduate, who wrote for the school's student newspaper, the ECHO, did just that when it was announced on May 9 that Lindenberger and three other members of the Houston Chronicle won the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing.
Mr. Michael Lindenberger as a 1989 Trinity senior
Lindenberger, Lisa Falkenberg, Joe Holley and Luis Carrasco won for "a campaign that, with original reporting, revealed voter suppression tactics, rejected the myth of widespread voter fraud and argued for sensible voting reforms."
Even as a senior at Trinity, Lindenberger was winning awards, placing second in news writing and column writing in a competition held by Murray State University.
After the Pulitzer announcement was made, Lindenberger wrote on Facebook: "…. I've been lucky. I got into journalism at Trinity High School because a friend I admired so much suggested it…and stumbled into a series of teachers and mentors there and then at U of L who, literally, made all the difference….Thank you."


The Northern Westchester Hospital project encompassed the renovation of several existing spaces, including shelled space above an active emergency department, to create a thoroughly modernized and leading-edge surgical services platform. Perkins Eastman and SM&W worked together to plan and coordinate the construction of six new operating rooms, a fourteen-bed pre- and post- anesthesia care (PACU) unit, an updated central sterile process and supply department, and associated support spaces for the suite. Following conclusion of the design phases, SM&W provided assistance to NWH with the procurement of the medical equipment planned for their revitalized surgical suite and support spaces.
Achieving NWH's goal of a modern, technologically advanced, and fully integrated space, while working with existing structural and service elements, required significant coordination between the design team and the SM&W disciplines engaged on the project. The six operating rooms feature the flexibility to accommodate various surgical specialties through the use of service and equipment booms, and full IT/AV integration suite that is custom-designed to support NWH's clinical workflow. SM&W and the project team facilitated realistic mock-ups with multiple vendors for the clinical staff, so that they would be able to explore options for configurations and equipment prior to the commencement of construction. This collaborative process assured the clinical staff that their new facility would meet requirements for effective and safe patient care.
The renovated surgical suite is supported by a spacious PACU ward, where the large single-patient bays create increased privacy and room for family members and guests, as well as a revamped and modernized central sterile department. These additional spaces allow for NWH to provide the best patient care and experience, from the processing of surgical instruments prior to the surgery all the way to recovery.

For a majority of poor Indians, survival directly depends on access to land, water and forest resources. Where communities have had long-term rights to these resources, they have often regulated their use to prevent over-exploitation and abuse, ensuring their own subsistence while conserving nature. However, this relationship between local people and their natural environment has been ruptured by government policies that extract resources for industrial and urban use. Accelerated exploitation has deprived village communities of their right to subsistence and has destroyed the natural base on which all life depends.
The government monopoly over the use and management of land, water and forests dates back to colonial times. It was only strengthened after Independence when 'national development' policies resulted in the government's takeover of natural resources for industrial and commercial use. More than 30 million Indians were directly displaced as a result of this and millions more were forced into an impoverished and insecure existence.
In the 1990s, the Indian government adopted the strategy of economic liberalization, giving incentives to private investors and exporters in order to encourage economic growth and earn foreign exchange. This strategy has worsened conditions for living for the poor: agricultural land has been forcibly acquired for dams, mining, luxury housing on the urban periphery, Special Economic Zones, and other projects that bring few benefits to local communities. Water resources have been depleted by intensive farming and by diversion to high-consumption industries and well-off urban sections. Forested areas are either given away to industries or are declared as conservation areas from which local users are excluded.
SRUTI believes that solving this ecological and social crisis requires that local communities be recognized as the first claimants on natural resources. The rights of poor communities should be respected and their capacity to manage resources sustainably should be strengthened. Several SRUTI Fellows are engaged in campaigns to defend jal-jangal-zameen (water, forests, land) against destructive projects. Others have mobilized communities to stake a claim to resources that are rightfully theirs, using new laws like the Forest Rights Act. Still others are working with villagers to establish fair and sustainable ways of managing natural resources. These initiatives have shown that local control over natural resources is a key element in achieving socially just and ecologically stable development.

The 2018 Lincoln Navigator Black Label is a $100,000 Lincoln SUV. Here's a tour of the first $100,000 Lincoln, and a review of the 2018 Navigator so you can see what you get when you spend $100,000 on a Lincoln Navigator.
I recently had the chance to drive a 2018 Lincoln Navigator Black Label, which is a Lincoln vehicle that costs $100,000. I am not exaggerating this number. I drove a Lincoln -- the brand primarily known for creating the Town Car, which provides slightly better passenger-carrying accommodation than a Ford Crown Victoria -- that cost $100,000. Surprisingly, it was excellent.
I borrowed this Navigator from a viewer in Newport Beach, California, which is a very wealthy city where people primarily drive Bentley, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar and vehicles of that type. Not Lincoln. In fact, the owner of the Navigator I drove had previously owned a BMW and a Mercedes-Benz, and his wife drives a Mercedes-Benz. He is exactly the kind of person Lincoln is hoping will buy a Navigator.
And despite the owner's "foreign-car" history, he loved his Navigator. As you can imagine, the Navigator is full of all sorts of crazy tech features and equipment, and he proudly showed them off to me. But, he conceded, it hasn't come without problems: Occasionally, when a rear door is opened, the tailgate also opens for no apparent reason. He sent me a video of this. And once, just after I showed up and before I started filming the attached video, the Navigator wouldn't shift out of "Park" and into "Drive." Only after a few minutes with it off -- and adjusting the "Drive Mode" -- did it finally comply with our request to get it to move.
But if you assume those things are glitches -- and, hopefully, they are -- the Navigator was otherwise fabulous.
In my opinion, its primary benefit is style. The 2018 Lincoln Navigator is absolutely gorgeous, and it's even more gorgeous in the Black Label trim, with big wheels on the outside and truly excellent interior trim on the inside. I was especially impressed by the fact that the high-quality materials extended all the way to the third-row seats -- a place where no one ever will ride, and a place where the people who may climb back there will be children, who won't appreciate the contrast-color seat piping anyway. But it's there, all of it, on every surface. Lincoln didn't cheapen anything on this car.
And then there's the technology. The Navigator has all the usual features you'd expect in this segment, of course, along with some impressive extras. For instance: From the push of a button in the cargo area, you can lower the rear seats, which has become pretty typical -- but you can also raise the third row back up again. The rear passengers use a high-quality touchscreen to control the rear-seat entertainment system. And not only does the front seat have an adjustable bolster to provide additional support for your legs, but it's double-adjustable -- one adjustment for each leg.
I could go on with the cool stuff from the Navigator, but there's too much to cover here, and you'll see it all in the video. Maybe more important is the driving experience -- especially since the Mercedes-Benz GLS, the Audi Q7 and other rival full-size luxury SUVs have done such a good job refining the experience behind the wheel.
After spending a little while driving the Navigator Black Label, I'm happy to report the Lincoln feels just as comfortable as any of those vehicles. The ride quality is truly excellent and tremendously supple, the steering is light and easy to adjust (a benefit in this segment) and most noises from outside the car are muted like you'd expect from a $100,000 luxury vehicle. Also, the Navigator I drove featured power seats that appeared endlessly adjustable, and I found them tremendously soft and comfortable -- though there are so many adjustments it took me a while to get the driver's seat into the right spot.
My one gripe with the Navigator, aside from the few glitches we experienced: acceleration. Although it has 450 horsepower and an immense 500 lb-ft of torque, the Navigator I drove -- the long-wheelbase "L" model in the top-end Black Label trim -- is just a little too heavy for that engine to really make the thing feel exciting. It moves more than quickly enough, sure -- but this same engine is in the Raptor, where a permanent grin is almost installed on your face from the hilarious acceleration and engine note. Not in the Navigator L Black Label, weighing in at around 6,200 pounds; the turbocharged V6 instead feels a little taxed under hard acceleration, and -- I hate myself for saying this, because I welcome the new crop of turbocharged engines and their fuel-economy benefits -- it just doesn't quite feel like it has the grunt of a V8.
With that said, the 2018 Lincoln Navigator Black Label is one of the best new cars I've driven recently -- and certainly the best Lincoln I've ever driven. When Lincoln started its product renaissance a few years ago, I always felt they should've "led" by improving the Navigator, just as Cadillac attracted new buyers to its ever-stronger brand with the Escalade in the early 2000s. Now, with the new Navigator in place, Lincoln is finally in a position to be mentioned in consideration with other top luxury brands -- and I can't wait to see where they go next.

I took an MA in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History, followed by the MSt and DPhil in Classical Archaeology at the University of Oxford. My doctoral work, which I finished in 2009, was on the Roman stone trade and was completed as part of the wider Oxford Roman Economy Project. Between 2009 and 2010 I worked on a post-doctoral project at the British School in Rome, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, on the Roman sarcophagus trade. In 2010-2011 I worked as a Teaching Assistant in Classical Archaeology at St John's College in the University of Oxford and lectured both there and at Birkbeck on Hellenistic and Roman art, architecture and archaeology. Between 2011 and 2013 I worked on the Leverhulme-funded Art of Making project on Roman sculptural techniques at King's College London. I joined the department in Edinburgh in 2013 and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2017. In 2019 I was awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize in Archaeology.

While I am interested in all aspects of archaeology, my research focuses on Roman art, architecture, and the ancient economy. I have worked especially on the production and supply of materials for construction and artistic production in the Roman world and what this reveals about Roman craftsmen and their relationship with their customers. Stone and stone carving have featured prominently in my research but more recently I have become interested in the use of earthen materials in construction projects, especially in the northern provinces of the Roman world. I have also worked on ancient craft production more generally, economic geography, urbanism and monumentality, ethnic representations in Roman art, and maritime archaeology.
I am a field archaeologist and have worked on a wide range of projects in Britain, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Libya, North Macedonia, Tunisia, and Turkey.
I am currently working on a book on Roman stone carvers and their craft, which explores both the social and economic positions of these craftspeople and the technical evidence for their working process. Through my interest in building materials and the exploitation of natural resources I have also become increasingly involved in work on vernacular architecture in the Roman world and especially the use of soil-based materials (mudbrick, rammed earth, cob and turf). I direct, with Dr Chris Beckett in the School of Engineering, a Leverhulme-funded project on earth and turf construction in the Roman North-West (2018-2023). This project, Earthen Empire, examines archaeological remains for earth and turf buildings and their architectural and geotechnical properties in order to explore how these overlooked materials were employed, where and why, and what this can tell us about the persistence of pre-Roman building traditions as well as the movement of techniques following the Roman conquest.
In the field, I direct the University of Edinburgh-Apolline Project excavations at the Roman city of Aeclanum in the Irpinia region of inland Campania, with Dr Ferdinando De Simone (Apolline Project). This project examines the urban devoplment and palaeoenvironment of the site from the pre-Roman to late antique periods. We have now finished full excavations and are working on the post-excavation stage of the project. I am also a staff member of the University of Oxford and New York University excavations at Aphrodisias in Turkey, where I have been working in recent years with Prof. Andrew Wilson on the publication of the excavations in the so-called Place of Palms. I am starting a new project on the late antique North Temenos House at the site. I have previously worked on, and I am now involved in the publication of, the University of Oxford and INP excavations at Utica in Tunisia.
Earthen Empire: Earth and Turf Building in the Roman North West (Leverhulme Trust RPG-2018-223) - PI, with Dr Chris Beckett (CI), Dr Tanja Romankiewicz (RA), and Dr Riley Snyder (RA)
Knowledge Exchange and Impact
Public Archaeology forms a key component of our fieldwork at Aeclanum, which I direct with Dr Ferdinando De Simone (Naples). In addition to regular open days, primarily for school children, we have produced information panels about the site and are even working on a comic book for a younger audience in collaboration with our resident illustrator and project manager, Zofia Guertin; the results of this work can be seen on the ArchaeoKids website.

Let me introduce you to my go to Blackhead Mask. All that you need is Activated Charcoal and Bentonite Clay. What you say?!? Let me give you a little background on both of these ingredients.
Activated Charcoal has been around for thousands of years. The first recorded date of its use was in 1550 BC. Modern day uses for activated charcoal include a poison antidote and a detoxifier. The make up of Activated Charcoal helps trap chemicals.
Bentonite Clay is composed of aged volcanic ash and the name comes from the largest known deposit of Bentonite Clay located in Fort Benton, Wyoming. Bentonite Clay is unique in that the electrical components of the clay change when hydrated giving it the ability to absorb toxins. Bentonite Clay also has an alkalizing effect on the body.
With a little background on what this mask is made up of lets get to the good part of how to make it.
The Bentonite Clay that I use is already mixed with purified water (that's the only one I could get my hands on without buying it online). If you have Bentonite Clay that does not have water in it then you will need to add water to mix the ingredients.
Mix the ingredients until they are a thick goo (like the consistency of finger paint) using your fingers or a disposable make-up sponge coat your face with the mixture. If it is too watery add more clay. Let it sit on your face until dry. Once dry if you look closely you can see darker spots (especially on you nose) where the yucky toxins have been pulled out and trapped in the mask.
To remove you will want to start with a wet wash cloth. Get as much off as you can using just the wash cloth and water. Once you can't get anymore off with just water use your face wash to remove the rest. Finish it off with some coconut oil to moisturize.
*If you have sensitive skin test a little on the inside of your wrist first. A little bit of redness is normal especially if you have fair skin.
*Put any even layer on, enough that you can't see your skin but not too much that it won't dry.
*I use a disposable bowl that I have left over from camping to mix my ingredients. I just toss it when done and don't have to worry about the activated charcoal staining my dishes.
*If you have a porcelain bathroom sink I would recommend rinsing over your sink. Stainless steel is best.

Salong Crag displays similar climbing to that of the well-known Beacon Hill Crag. It is located in Tai Lam Country Park in the Western New Territories thereby providing a climbing option for people who live in the New Territories. The area consists of two large granite outcrops which are named "Sa" and "Long" boulder, hence the name "Salong" (also it is the names of developer's son and daughter).
There is a mountain stream (bedrock channel), named Kam Sha Stream (金沙坑), which flows from north to south through Kau Keng Shan, entering a catchwater of Tai Lam Chung Reservoir. Most of the rocks here are granites which is solidified from magmas that were intruded near a plate boundary.
Most of the routes in Salong Crag were originally climbed using traditional protection by the developers and friends. However, now, routes have been equipped with expansion-type bolts and anchors. Top-ropes can be easily arranged by scrambling up from a path to the anchor for Sa Rock, except for Long Rock. Sport routes range from French grade 5 to 8a/b (?) and recommended routes are indicated by a face symbol J to represent better climbing and rock quality (inspired by Francis Haden).
All routes in Salong are relatively short, a 40m dynamic rope will serve you well enough here. For climbers who want to setup a top-rope, you should use your own quick draw at the anchor instead of using the ring of the anchor. Also note that you may have to use short sling (0.5m) at the anchor to avoid rope abrasion near the edge.
Climbers should also note that insect such as hornet (Vespa mandarinia) are commonly found along the stream channel, extra caution should be taken when you approach the crag. Besides that, wearing a helmet is also highly suggested in this climbing area.

Megan Tady October 25, 2007
When the U.S. Supreme Court refused on October 1 to hear Legal Services for New York City v. Legal Services Corporation, a case challenging restrictions on access to lawyers for the poor, it sent a clear message: Courts shouldn't be bothered with the problems of poor people.
Funny, I thought "justice for all" meant justice for every person. It now appears an asterisk is missing from the last line of our nation's pledge. For clarity, perhaps it should read so like this:
"…And justice for all.*
* (The validity of this clause is subject to class and race restrictions and can be ruled null and void upon persons' failure to comply. The government reserves the right to alter the meaning of eligible applicants for justice at any time. The wealthy may disregard this disclaimer.)"
The loopholes for equality are pervasive in this country. This time, the government wiggled out of protecting poor peoples' legal rights when Congress passed a law in 1996 that limits the work of independent civil legal aid programs that receive federal funding. The government's Legal Services Corporation provides grants to independent programs that offer free legal service to low-income people across the nation.
The rule prevents legal aid centers from using either federal or non-federal funds to file class action lawsuits, claim court-ordered attorneys' fee awards, or represent certain categories of immigrants. There's one exception: Centers can do this work if they establish a separate office with non-federal dollars.
In other words, legal aid centers around the country that take government funding are only allowed to use private money – funds from the state and individual and philanthropy donations – to represent a huge group of people in a class action suit, go to bat for exploited immigrants, or use attorneys' fee awards as a tactic, if they set up a physically separate facility with a different staff. It's as rational as mandating that someone trying to spend their last two dollars on milk at the local grocery store can only buy it at a store that's a bus-fare away. No money when you get there? No luck.
Laura Abel, deputy director of the Justice Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, explains why the "physical separation requirement" has a "devastating effect" on the 138 centers that receive government grants.
"Civil legal aid programs are notoriously underfunded and they never have even the fraction of the funds they need, so they don't have any extra money at all," Abel says. "So they may think, 'Could we open up a separate office across the street?' But they would have to turn away hundreds of clients a year."
The Brennan Center is currently representing three legal aid centers that are challenging the constitutionality of the separation requirement, saying it violates the First Amendment. The Center first filed the lawsuit in 2001. But the Supreme Court's refusal to hear the case will send the long-languishing case back to a district court.
The implication of the restriction is as stark as the Supreme Court's indifference. Abel says one "glaring example" of how the rule hurts low-income people is the current predatory loan crisis. Had legal aid centers been able to represent entire communities suffering at the hands of predatory lenders, the bottom may not have dropped.
"Unfortunately [legal aid centers] haven't been able to bring class action lawsuits; all they can do is represent one person at a time," Abel says. "As a result…the lenders continue their practices."
If it seems like legal aid centers have their hands tied, their mouths are gagged as well. Federally funded centers are also not allowed to use private funds to tell people about their legal rights and then offer to represent them, and they can't lobby on behalf of their clients – unless of course they lease and staff another office.
Lewis Papenfuse, executive director of the Farmworker Legal Services of New York, a plaintiff in the case, says he was "extremely disappointed" that the Supreme Court had turned up its nose.
In 1996, rather than accept the restrictions, Papenfuse says Farmworker Legal Services rejected any federal funding. Papenfuse and his staff had to take a severe pay cut, and have been building up their center ever since.
"There's so many people with so many issues – so many people not getting paid what they're supposed to," Papenfuse says. "Access to justice is even less for people who are invisible in society or have no access to even getting the information."
Not every program can be as resilient. According to the Legal Service Corporation, the agency on average endows half the budgets of the programs it funds.
Papenfuse and other advocates have been urging the courts and Congress to toss out the restriction for years. In 2005, 130 non-profit organizations and philanthropies filed an amicus brief on behalf of the plaintiffs, and the National Council of Churches and 30 faith groups appealed to legislators in a letter, noting, "The law closes the doors of justice for many low-income individuals and families who simply cannot afford to hire a private lawyer to help them in civil matters."
Congress, it appears, doesn't sympathize. A 2005 editorial in The New York Times chastised the government: "The fact that Washington provides money for legal representation does not give it unlimited authority to control what lawyers say or do, or to restrict the use of private money so severely."
The Legal Services Corporation, on the other hand, feigns compassion on its website, writing, "…our nation falls far short of meeting the need for civil legal aid." So why has the agency repeatedly fought and appealed the current court case?
To go to such lengths to keep certain groups of people from obtaining legal aid speaks volumes about the government's fear of the informed and represented masses. Abuse and mistreatment becomes trickier when the adage "I'll see you in court" actually has weight.
Of course, what's particularly troubling about this rule is that low-income people, communities of color, and immigrants are those groups most at risk of being exploited and violated, from employers withholding a worker's wages to corporations dumping toxins in entire neighborhoods.
It should be easy, not almost impossible, for the country's most vulnerable to seek redress. By standing firmly with this rule, we are merely offering a cruel taunt when pledging our allegiance to "justice for all."

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff denies Lewis Hamilton demanded Michael Masi's departure to remain in F1
Wolff on Hamilton's future: ""I was never concerned that he was leaving. I think that adversity has always made him stronger, more resilient and determined. This is the attitude I feel in him right now and the mindset I see in the team."
By Ali Stafford
Last Updated: 18/02/22 1:48pm
Toto Wolff says he is encouraged by the new F1 structure announced by the FIA, and describes Lewis Hamilton as an 'integral' part of the Mercedes team.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has insisted that Michael Masi's departure as race director was not a factor in Lewis Hamilton staying in F1.
Hamilton confirmed at Mercedes' car launch on Friday that he would be racing in 2022, saying: "I never, ever said I was going to stop".
The FIA has replaced Masi as F1 race director following a review into last year's season-ending Abu Dhabi GP, where the Italian's handling of the Safety Car decisions in the race were questioned.
Lewis Hamilton says it was a 'difficult time' and that he needed to step back after the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
Hamilton was denied a history-making eighth world title, as Max Verstappen passed him on the final lap to claim a controversial race win and title, with Wolff previously describing the Brit's 'disillusionment' about the way the 2021 season finished.

Why was Masi replaced as race director?

But on Friday Wolff said he was always confident that the 37-year-old would return.
When asked whether Masi's removal was a condition for Hamilton staying in the sport, Wolff told BBC 5Live: "No, absolutely not. I think it was for Lewis himself to decide how can I digest the events from Abu Dhabi and the same for the team, and I think we moved on.
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem announces that Michael Masi has been removed as F1 race director amongst a string of other changes .
"It's in the past. It's not something that we will, in a way, recover, but it wasn't a condition."
Speaking to the media after Mercedes launched their new silver W13 car, Wolff added on Hamilton: "I was never concerned that he was leaving.
"Within the team we knew he needed to take the time to reflect on things and particularly how he would come back in the best possible frame of mind. On our side there was no worries about him not coming back.
"I think that adversity has always made him stronger, more resilient and determined. This is the attitude I feel in him right now and the mindset I see in the team."
Wolff insists Abu Dhabi GP wasn't 'fixed'
Sky Sports Formula One reporter Craig Slater explains the departure of Michael Masi as race director and what it means heading into the new season.
Masi ordered only the lapped cars between Hamilton and second-placed Verstappen through during the dramatic Safety Car in the 2021 decider, providing the Dutchman, on fresh tyres, a shot at passing Hamilton - who was on old rubber.
While Masi's actions were justified by the FIA stewards following a Mercedes team appeal, F1's governing body lodged a full review into the process and admitted the sport's image was being tarnished.
"Nothing is fixed," insisted Wolff. "I think it was just circumstances and decisions that were unprecedented and how they came about certainly for us was a shock.
Mercedes unveil the new F1 W13 for the 2022 season, returning to their traditional silver livery.
"Three laps to the end we got a message that the cars that were not allowed to unlap themselves, and four minutes later suddenly there was two messages that came out of nowhere. Obviously we know what happened in the background unknown to us.
"And then the championship was gone within literally half a minute of decision making process and that is unprecedented. But also we have to move on from that.
"I think we need to put it aside and we are not going to forget it because that's simply impossible, but we need to look into 2022."
With the FIA now to rotate two race directors going forward, with assistance with a VAR-esque control room, Wolff continued: "Certainly the role of race director is not easy and now with having two very experienced guys up there, that is good.
"The support structure has been built around them is essential. Not only in the race director's room but also with a remote control room where the race director's can rely on feedback and input to make the decision-making process easier for them.
"I believe the last couple of years we have seen a little bit of freestyle in the interpretation of the regulations, so yes I am happy by what has been implemented by the incoming president."
Formula 1 expert Karun Chandhok says former race director Michael Masi made a mistake in Abu Dhabi but believes the system did not help with the situation either.
'Time to move forward'
Mercedes revealed their new W13 car for the 2022 season on Friday and Hamilton joined compatriot George Russell for the launch at Silverstone, with Wolff now hoping to see the sport move on from Abu Dhabi and focus on the year ahead.

"The reason why I'm in the sport and our team is the honesty of the stopwatch," Wolff said. "You know whether you're good enough or not and, on that day, Lewis was the best driver and the team performed.

What F1 expects from new era
"If that's taken away, you kind of question the integrity, but as a matter of fact I think we need to move on.
"The sport had a fantastic season last season with a great battle at the front and the audiences are great. Polarisation is sometimes good for the sport but now it's about stopping discussion about Abu Dhabi and moving forward."

Q: Automatically obtain date and time when I type in a cell but in separate columns at google sheets I'm new around here, apologies in advance. I go with my question: I have a google spreadsheet with multiple cells and two sheets. What I am trying to do is that when I type a value in any cell in column 2, the time and date will automatically appear in the adjacent cell. I have gotten this code, which only worked for me on Sheet 1:
function onEdit() {
var s = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  if( s.getName() == "HOJA 1-HF-SSB" ) { //checks that we're on the correct sheet
      var r = s.getActiveCell();
    if( r.getColumn() == 2 ) { //checks the column
      var nextCell = r.offset(0, 1);
      if( nextCell.getValue() === '' ) //is empty?
        nextCell.setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm");
    }
  }
}

Then I have managed to simplify it and adapt it to work on both sheets of the document:
function onEdit(e) {
var sheets = ["HOJA 1-HF-SSB", "HOJA 2-FM-DMR"];
if (sheets.indexOf(e.source.getActiveSheet()
    .getName()) === -1 || e.range.columnStart !== 2) return;
e.range.offset(0, 1)
    .setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm");
}

My questions are: Is there a way to get the date and time to go in separate columns? That is, when I fill in column 2, the date is written in column 3 and the time in column 4?
My final goal, apart from separating the date and time, is to determine later (I don't know how to do it) and highlight which values recorded in column 2 are duplicated on the same date, comparing them with the automatic dates in column 3, regardless of the time. Thank you and excuse me, I am a very newbie!

A: Try (only for column #2)
function onEdit(e) {
  var sheets = ["HOJA 1-HF-SSB", "HOJA 2-FM-DMR"];
  if (sheets.indexOf(e.source.getActiveSheet().getName()) === -1 || e.range.getColumn() !== 2) return;
  var dateObj = new Date();
  var month = dateObj.getUTCMonth() + 1; //months from 1-12
  var day = dateObj.getUTCDate();
  var year = dateObj.getUTCFullYear();
  var newdate = year + "/" + month + "/" + day;
  e.range.offset(0, 1).setValue(newdate).setNumberFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
  e.range.offset(0, 2).setValue(new Date()).setNumberFormat("HH:mm");
}

EL PASO – As journalism students graduate from colleges into a tough job market every year, more and more of them are straying from hard news and are instead pursuing careers covering sports and entertainment.
A scenario for the new bred of entertainment reporters could look like this: Microphones in hand and cameras on record, numerous reporters anxiously wait behind velvet ropes for the first celebrity to step on to the red carpet.
The first interview of the night dressed in a long, tight-fitting gown and sparkling stilettos, poses for the flashing cameras, then makes her way toward the screaming requests as they point their microphones in her direction. They yell over each other's voices to get the first interview after the star's stint in rehab.
One reporter with a single letter logo on his microphone lands the interview and immediately riddles the troubled movie star with question after question.
At one point insulting the actress with his comments about her personal life, he causes her to lash out at him, risking his integrity with this particular celebrity but at the same time increasing the appeal of entertainment journalism for graduating journalism majors around America.
In Ruggiero's class of more than 30 journalism students, his theory is evident. When asked what field of journalism they would like to work in after they graduate, the majority of the class quickly answered, either sports or entertainment.
It is no surprise that this generation of college students were brought up in a society invested in technology, while infatuated with all different kinds of entertainment, from movie stars to famous athletes.
With the amount of reality shows popping up in all different genres of television, the reason for the interest in entertainment and sports journalism could be that going in this particular direction may possibly result in a celebrity status profile.
"Working in entertainment news, in a way you become part of the entertainment lifestyle," says Jennifer Estrada, a multimedia journalism major at UTEP.
Daniel Ornelas, now pursuing a career in sports journalism, said his previous interest in coaching made his interest in sports journalism a natural transition. "Hard news is more of a challenge for me because I would rather stay in connection with sports," Ornelas said.
Some say that students' lack of interest in covering hard news reflects a flaw somewhere in the educational system. These critics say they believe the professors are not stressing how much more important hard news is than the number of championship rings Kobe Bryant has sitting on a mantle in his mansion.
With the students and professors in agreement about the education system not being at fault, whether or not this trend continues in the future of journalism will determine if the interest is just a phase that will soon pass.
Could an overdose of technology on graduating Journalism majors be the reason for the overwhelming interests in entertainment and sports reporting or is there really a missing link in the techniques professors are using to guide these students through their obsession with "fun" and "hobby like" topics?


The often criticized philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre encompasses the dilemmas and aspirations of the individual in contemporary society. This work of power and epic scope provides a vivid analysis for all who would understand one of the most influential philosophic movements of this or any age.
"There can be no doubt that this is a philosophy to be reckoned with, both for its own intrinsic power and as a profound symptom of our time."

Introduction- Gynecologic cancers contribute to a significant degree of morbidity and mortality in the female population within the United States. These cancers, classified as endometrial, ovarian, cervical, vaginal and vulvar have distinct risk factors, prevention strategies, symptomatologies, and treatment courses. As a result, the diverse nature of gynecologic cancer presents unique challenges to public health. The Division of Gynecologic Oncology at Magee Womens Hospital (MWH) has developed the Gynecologic Oncology Research Database (GORDy), a biorepository, which stores patient information and biospecimens (malignant and benign) for research from patients undergoing gynecologic surgery. To date, no studies have compared the characteristics of women within the database to those women within the total gynecologic cancer population at MWH. Methods- This study reviews participants and non-participants diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2011. Demographic information, reproductive history, and disease factors were assessed between the patients using the two sample t-test, chi-square test of independence or the Fisher's Exact test as appropriate. Cox proportional-hazards regression and logistic regression analyses were performed. Results- In the study period, 2,144 women were diagnosed with a primary gynecologic cancer. 468 women participated in the biorepository (269 endometrial, 154 ovarian, and 45 cervical, vulvar, vaginal cancer patients). Participation increased annually, while incidence remained stable in the population. Participants tended to be older (p=0.0029), postmenopausal (p=0.0445) and white (p=0.0034) compared to non-participants. Endometrial participants tended to have a higher body mass index (p=0.0931) and were more likely to be white (p=0.0010). Ovarian cancer participants tended to be older (p=0.0471). No significant differences were seen in the cervical, vulvar, vaginal cancer group. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed no differences in disease progression and survival among all groups. Conclusions- Though participants tended to be older, postmenopausal and white they were similar to the non-participants in a number of social and clinical characteristics that normally confound studies. This analysis demonstrates that researchers should assess the criteria used for patient recruitment, particularly age, BMI and race. Increasing patient participation in the biorepository and data bank will increase representativeness and provide researchers with a robust collection of samples for future research projects.
