This month's Culture Clash column is inspired in part by a chronic affliction of mine: every twelve months or so, I undergo a strange frenzy of attention-paying to the work of Ice-Pick Lodge, the inscrutable Russian developer of Pathologic, Cargo!, and The Void. The studio's website rarely sees substantive updates, but nevertheless I always tend to find something new there – though it rarely is anything about their activities. This time around I found a series of papers and lectures on game development, the translation quality of which was… quite poor.
Still! I like that stuff and it formed the basis of what I have to say in this month's column. Despite it making complete sense to me, I have a feeling this is one of those installments that will make the eyes of other readers cross. Like Penny Arcade's Twisp & Catsby comics, I try to only do that once a year or so. Enjoy!
The deep game calls for complete immersion, concentration, and attention…We deliberately refuse to create a comfortable environment for the gamer. The addressee is not the consumer. He is the coauthor. Passing the deep game is a creative process.
…[t]he theme announced in Deep Game was soon forsaken. At one point I realized that, even among my closest comrades-in-arms who as it may have seemed shared this idea with me, it is long lost, forgotten and not interesting to anyone.
That sounds kind of gloomy. And Pathologic did struggle with these things. It did not always (or often, depending on your point of view) succeed at what it was trying to accomplish. A noble first effort, it was impenetrable in ways that did not contribute to the Manifesto's intent. But the idea is still interesting, and even Dybowski wrapped his remarks by saying that it can be done. That, in fact, it would only just be the beginning – "only the fourth letter of the alphabet," as he puts it. One of the earliest tools developers will find to make their games potent. Using the correct tools correctly, something Warren Spector mentioned in a recent talk, is really the key to success here. However many letters this alphabet has, developers are still in the process of discovering each and learning to use them correctly.
Last month I remarked briefly on the fact that media evolve over time, from very basic and limited to very complex and nuanced. That evolution typically reflects a growth in what the medium can do, or what people believe that it can do. Evolution requires ongoing development of two things: the medium's tools (new brushes, lenses, colors, words, or film stocks, for example) and the people who work in it. Their progress depends on the tools, on learning from what had come before, and on a willingness to explore previously unconsidered potentials.
The earliest two-dimensional art was probably used more to record than to express, and were limited even in that. The stylistic and technical shortcomings of ancient illustrations are obvious. By Medieval times, 2D art had long since become expressive, but still technically quite primitive. Artists wouldn't master perspective or anatomy, for example, until the Renaissance. The same is generally true with any medium: compare the fragmentary hymns of Inanna to the rigid foot and meter of classical epics to today's poetry and the progression is pretty clear.
The unique medium of video games is often compared closely with cinema, which was remarkable at its birth because it could capture motion, creating an explicit record of events. Though technically cool, it's a huge limitation, especially since its rather narrow-minded inventors didn't see their creation as particularly useful for anything else.
Fortunately visionaries experimented, discovering that composition, cinematography, and editing – conveniently glommed together into the term mise en scène – give motion pictures their true power. This was the "alphabet" of cinema, the capability that allows for complex, symbolic messages within the technical scope of the medium. Citizen Kane's camera defines audience opinion of each character; Schindler's List famously uses one colorful object as emblematic reinforcement; Natural Born Killers frenetically swaps stocks and styles to visually parallel the movie's deconstructionist message. Which brings us back to games, still quite young as a medium but already showing that kind of creative tinkering.
The Deep Game Manifesto of Ice-Pick Lodge is a bold statement of intent, simultaneously challenging to itself and a challenge to the medium as a whole. That Pathologic didn't deliver on it, that in the eyes of the developers it even somehow divorced itself from the lofty ambitions of the statement, isn't all that surprising when one considers the other crucial aspect of game development: like cinema, it's a business. Games need to sell, first and foremost, and gallant proclamations about artistry don't always help them do that. But don't forget that games like Pathologic have a lot of potential to be well-received. It could have sold really well, but was held back by practicalities: bugginess, poor translation, dubious production values.
Artistry can readily exist in commercially successful games. One need look no further than Bioshock Infinite to appreciate that. Talk about a high-intellect game with tons of rich messages presented in powerfully interactive ways. Is it the Best Game Ever? No. In fact it has some pretty major shortcomings. But that doesn't diminish its role, or the role of a Pathologic, or the concept that the medium of games is a creative and impactful force.
Creatively, games still have plenty of distance to cover. Few make important statements, and fewer still will be remembered as long-term cultural artifacts. But I don't see that as negative, and would never use the reality of the statement to bash games as a medium. According to Dybowski, who may well turn out to be right, we're only at the third letter of the alphabet. We haven't even reached the Deep Game yet. Developers of all stripes tune their craft every day. Even the controversies that games spawn are, in a way, good for the medium – anything that expands the cultural discussion is. As we well know, illustration, cinema, poetry: every creative medium has its own path of development. Games have theirs too. In fact, the culture that consumes them (that's us) may just be along for the ride. Who's to say that anyone actually influences evolution?
I am a big fan of Ice-Pick Lodge conceptually although I seem to find it hard to knuckle down and actually *play* their games. I've been starting then stopping the Void for over four years now. I bought Pathologic over Christmas and haven't yet launched it. And I played several hours of Cargo last year and have yet to go back to it.
But they're so *fascinating*. I'm not sure why I can't sit down with them and actually play them. I suspect it's a form of intellectual laziness: I know that these games will demand engagement above and beyond most games, and a lot of the time when I sit down to game I want to "unwind" or "relax" or I'm just "tired". And apparently thought is just not a done thing in those contexts.
Don't be too disgusted with yourself, ShaunCG, I really don't think it's a matter of intellectual laziness. Both Pathologic and The Void – I never finished either, BTW – are very flawed, problematic games. They do demand engagement above and beyond most, but they also demand that you tolerate and/or overlook significant flaws in order to get to the brilliant stuff underneath. Everything from the controls to the translations to stuff that simply does not work, these are the definitions of games that people walk away from in frustration. That many of us consistently try is a sign of how valuable Ice-Pick Lodge's contribution is, but it's also a message to them: yes art is great and your Deep Game Manifesto sounds very nice and all, but the word GAME is right in there in the title. Don't forget what you're making.
Playing Pathologic and The Void is work, and you gotta be in the right kind of mood for that. I hear you!

Review by Brian Eggert April 25, 2014
Colin Firth, Cameron Diaz, Alan Rickman, Stanley Tucci, Tom Courtenay, Cloris Leachman
Tedious and juvenile, Gambit boasts a script by the Coen brothers, a promising cast (including Colin Firth, Cameron Diaz, and Alan Rickman), and a twisting scenario ripe with potential. But this light farce becomes tiresome long before its brief 89-minute runtime expires. Remade from Ronald Neame's comedy from 1966, which starred Michael Caine, Shirley Maclaine and Herbert Lom, the new film involves art forgeries and elaborate con games—both typically interesting plot elements when combined (see Oceans 12, The Thomas Crown Affair remake, or this year's The Art of the Steal), especially so when some cinematic verve and attractive stars are added to the mix. Except, Gambit carries a narrow sense of humor ranging from flatulence to shocking racial stereotypes, while everyone behind the camera and in front seems disinterested in the material.
Spearheaded by producer Mike Lobell, a remake of Neame's mildly enjoyable original has been discussed in Hollywood since the late 1990s, with names like Alexander Payne and Robert Altman cited to direct, while talent from Reese Witherspoon to Jennifer Aniston were in discussions to star. The Coens completed their script back in their lowest of lows, during their Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers days, taking the assignment as writers-for-hire between projects. Fresh off his Oscar for The King's Speech, Firth's attachment gave the production legs under director Michael Hoffman, whose work ranges from Soapdish (1991) to The Last Station (2009). The film premiered in the UK in 2012, but poor performance and word-of-mouth ensured its limited theatrical and VOD release stateside—a surprising turn for a picture featuring one Oscar-winner and another box-office draw.
The film opens with an animated title sequence somewhere between those in The Pink Panther (1963) and Catch Me if You Can (2002), and therein gives away the entire plot of the film in animation, forcing us to sit through the kooky hijinks in live-action form. Firth plays Caine's original role as Harry Deane, an ineffectual art historian who works for a ferocious and boorish media mogul, Lionel Shabandar (Rickman). To dupe Shabandar out of millions and exact revenge for years of humiliating verbal abuse in the office, Deane and his art forger friend The Major (Tom Courtenay) concoct a plan that will result in Shabandar buying a forged Monet canvas. For reasons not worth explaining in this review, Deane must elicit the help of Texas rodeo star P.J. Puznowski (Diaz), who goes along with the plan without much convincing. Puznowski and Shabandar hit it off. Deane grows jealous, having fallen for Puznowski himself. Antics ensue.
One humorous aside carried over from the original involves a tease in the opening sequence, where Deane's plan works out to the last detail—Shabandar conveniently takes the bait, and Puznowski's later-heard motormouth remains silent for the first 10 minutes. Reality spoils Deane's illusion and, of course, nothing goes as planned. Take the film's sole audible laugh, when Deane attempts to check Puznowski into London's swanky Savoy Hotel, but their endless banter is misunderstood by the hotel's staff. Not so funny is the broad nationalistic typecasting: A throng of Japanese businessmen talk in horrific accents, dropping their Ls into Rs and engaging in bad karaoke; the British are seen as hoity-toity and incurably stuffy; Americans are exclusively Texan, with twangy accents; playing a German art curator, Stanley Tucci's accent is so exaggerated that one suspects he'll be revealed as an American posing as a German, but this is not so.
Achingly unfunny situations try to force laughs out of an unengaged audience, who spends the majority of the film's runtime wincing at Diaz's horrendously bad Texan accent. Firth and Rickman are serviceable if unbelievable characterizations. But what can we expect from a farce modeled after 1960s-brand Euro-comedies? By the time Firth stands pantless on a hotel ledge for longer than any such gag should be carried out, Gambit has forced us to wonder how this formless heap ever came from such distinct authors as the Coen brothers. Certainly the Coens have delved into lowbrow territory and slapstick humor with much success in Raising Arizona (1987) or Burn After Reading (2008), but more often than not within a narrative that has multiple layers and meanings. Never subtle and always over-the-top, nothing about this unnecessary remake suggests anything but a routine and painfully dull "madcap romp" in need of a distinct personality driving the production.

Retired SDF officers counter Trump's remarks on security ties
Asahi Shimbun & Sankei Shimbun
Japan's self-defense forces play a large role in sustaining and enhancing the U.S.-Japan alliance, several SDF officers and others explained at a July 30 conference co-hosted by Sasakawa USA and the PHP Institute that recently was featured in articles in The Asahi Shimbun and Sankei Shimbun.
Sasakawa USA's Masayuki Hironaka, a retired JASDF lieutenant general, explained in the article that the symposium was planned on the advice of Sasakawa USA Chairman and CEO Adm. Dennis Blair.
According to the Asahi Shimbun article by Naotaka Fujita, "Blair said Japan's territorial dispute with China over the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea has changed the dialogue between Japan and the United States into a two-way exchange instead of the one-way communication of the past. He also expressed expectations that Japan would more aggressively present its proposals about the future of the security alliance in light of the comments made by [Republican Presidential Candidate Donald] Trump."
The article describes "Trump's assertion that Tokyo isn't pulling its weight in the Japan-U.S. security alliance… among other things, that he would support withdrawing U.S. troops from Japan unless Tokyo paid more for hosting U.S. bases."
The forum in Tokyo served to inform the public about how Japan has contributed to the bilateral security alliance, based on comments from high-ranking former SDF officials. Sasakawa USA anticipates releasing a report detailing its findings in early 2017.

UPDATE: Rutgers suspends Sigma Gamma Rho chapter in wake of hazing investigation - Progressive Greek
UPDATE: Rutgers suspends Sigma Gamma Rho chapter in wake of hazing investigation
10 years ago	kevin1914 College Life, Featured, Not So Progressive News, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. 0
The university's chapter of the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority will remain suspended pending an investigation into charges that six members hazed and paddled a group of prospective pledges earlier this month, officials said Wednesday.
The students, ages 20 and 21, also are accused of restricting the alleged victims' eating over several days, officials said. The six members have been charged with aggravated hazing, a fourth-degree indictable crime.
At least one instance occurred in a New Brunswick apartment, although others may have taken place outside Middlesex County, police and university officials said. They could not immediately say when the alleged hazing took place.
Administrators learned of one alleged victim on Tuesday, and subsequently found that six members of the chapter were responsible for the hazing, Greg Blimling, vice president for student affairs, said Wednesday. He said police found that there was more than one incident, and that another was planned.
"The university decided to move quickly because it came to our attention that there was going to be another session with the same group of women last night," Blimling said. "And we wanted to intervene quickly before another student was injured."
Arrested Tuesday were Vanessa Adegbite, 21, of Jersey City; Kesha Cheron, 20, of Newark; Ilana Warner, 20, of the Bronx; and Joana Bernard, 21, of West Orange. Shawna Ebanks of East Orange and Marie Charles of West Orange, both 21, were arrested Wednesday.
All six are free after posting $1,500 bail, according to a records official at the Middlesex County Adult Correction Center in North Brunswick.
The six undergraduates could face disciplinary action, including expulsion, under the university's code of student conduct if they're found to have engaged in hazing, according to a university statement.
None of the alleged victims is a first-year student, Blimling said. Police said the injuries caused were significant enough to prompt at least one to seek medical attention.
Investigators were still trying Wednesday to determine the exact number of alleged victims. Officials declined to provide other details while the probe is ongoing.
The university has contacted the North Carolina-based Sigma Gamma Rho national organization, which has issued a ""cease and desist" letter to the New Brunswick chapter, ordering it to stop all sorority-related functions.
The incident occurred outside of the recognized pledging period for Greek organizations and did not fall within university guidelines, Blimling said. He added that Rutgers has a "very structured" and zero-tolerance hazing policy, and that students are required to sign documents acknowledging that they won't engage in the practice.
An attorney representing the sorority said the organization took "immediate action" after learning of the charges Wednesday morning. He also said the national headquarters is cooperating with the investigation and plans to reach out to the alleged victims.
"Sigma Gamma Rho is a national sorority with a rich history of service throughout the world," said Jonathan Charleston, general counsel for the organization. And what's been alleged is not indicative of what the sorority stands for."
Blimling said he didn't know of any past hazing allegations against Sigma Gamma Rho.
"They have a good national reputation and they have a good local reputation, and this came as a surprise," he said.
The organization is one of 72 fraternity and sorority chapters at Rutgers and was chartered in 1978, according to its Web site. The national organization was founded in 1922.

I needed to mention rental machines that exist at most grocery stores and other several places. These are not a awful idea for in between professional cleanings, but they just normally compare otherwise. A couple of technical measurements: a rental steam cleaning equipment has a PSI of between 15 - 60. Which is pressure the water is shot into the carpet at. On our truckmount, we establish the pressure between 450 and 400 PSI. The vacuum ability is measured in inches of water lift, and the flow is normally cubic feet per minute. On a local rental machine, these are between 20 and 35 inches as well as the airflow is unimpressive. Our truckmount has about 2 hundred inches of water lift up and 250 CFM of airflow. A truckmount offers about 4 or 5 times the cleaning ability of a lease. Also, with most nightly rental machines, you use the hot water out of your faucet which might be one hundred sixty to 180 F, consequently by the time it hits the carpet it's down to 120 or 130 degrees or perhaps less. Our truckmount warms the water to 205 college diplomas, and by the time it visits the carpet it's simply down to about 180 to 200 degrees depending on the season. Keep in mind that the cleaning potential of the water doubles for every 10 degrees hotter the water is. So although a rental machine can be helpful, it does not exchange a regular professional cleaning. It will like trying to clean the own teeth with an ultrasonic cleaner and dental care pick. If I tried that I'd probably end up with stopped working teeth and holes inside my cheeks.

Sabarimala remarks: Actor Kollam Thulasi surrenders
Actor Kollam Thulasi, who had made a derogatory speech on the Sabarimala women entry issue, surrendered before the investigating officer in Kollam on Tuesday.
Earlier, Kerala High Court had rejected his anticipatory bail plea and directed him to surrender at the earliest in front of the investigating officer.
At the peak of protests against young women entry to Sabarimala, the actor had in a public function said young women who went should be torn apart and one part should be sent to the Supreme Court and the other to the Chief Minister's office. He later apologised for his comments.
Incidentally these remarks were made at the function in the presence of BJP state president PS Sreedharan Pillai at Chavara on October 12.

Henry Adams [Louisiana] (1843-?)
Posted on June 23, 2008 August 8, 2019 by contributed by: Tabitha Wang
Louisiana map, 1855
Courtesy Library of Congress (2010592397)
Henry Adams was a Louisiana leader who advocated the emigration of southern freed blacks to Liberia after emancipation. Born a slave in Newton County, Georgia on March 16, 1843, Henry Adams was originally born as Henry Houston but changed his name at the age of seven. His enslaved family was relocated to Louisiana in 1850 and lived there until 1861.
Adams married a woman named Malinda during his enslavement and the couple had four children. Unlike most enslaved people, Adams and his wife were able to acquire property during the Civil War.
After the war Adams moved to DeSoto Parish in Louisiana where he started a successful peddling business. Adams eventually became a merchant but in 1866 at the age of 23 he enlisted in the U.S. Army. Adams was discharged in September 1869 after rising to the rank of quartermaster sergeant. Adams learned to read and write in the Army, providing him a measure of self-confidence that encouraged his leadership of other ex-slaves once he returned to civilian life.
In 1870 Adams organized black Louisiana veterans in the Shreveport area into a group known as "the Committee." Numbering about 500 men — including 150 who traveled across northwest Louisiana working with Republican politicians and encouraged black men to vote — the Committee worked for full political rights for African Americans. Adams lost jobs because of his involvment with the organization but he continued to press for political reforms.
In the summer of 1874, the Louisiana Governor William Pitt Kellogg, a Republican, and the Committee made a request for federal troops to intervene in areas of northwest Louisiana where the White League, a terrorist organization, had taken control. President Ulysses S. Grant responded by sending the U.S. Seventh Cavalry to Shreveport. While the Seventh Cavalry operated in Shreveport, Adams gained employment as an undercover scout in 1875.
During this period Adams also traveled to New Orleans to meet with black delegates who advocated emigration from the United States to Liberia. These leaders, who called themselves the Colonization Council, were convinced that African Americans would never have full citizenship rights. Persuaded by their ideas, Adams joined the organization.
The end of Reconstruction in Louisiana, following the Presidential Election compromise of 1876, brought the Democrats back into power in the state. It also presented the Colonization Council with a new political environment that made their goals more attractive to Louisiana blacks.
In 1877, during one of the Council's meetings, Adams made his first public speech advocating the emigration of African Americans from the South. The Colonization Council then drew up a petition and circulated it at their subsequent meetings. According to Adams, over 98,000 men, women, and children signed the petitions. In September 1877, Adams sent the petition to President Hayes, but was denied federal funds to help the migration. Support for the movement began to wane as members of the Colonization Council lost interest, fell into deeper poverty, and returned to their farming jobs.
In the Spring of 1879 the Kansas Exodus swept across Louisiana and Mississippi. Adams quickly shifted the focus of the Colonization Council to Kansas and encouraged blacks to migrate there. Adams never visted Kansas. However, in 1880 he traveled to Washington, D.C. to give testimony before a U.S. Senate Committee on the migration and continuing emigration sentiment, both of which he blamed on anti-black terror in the South.
Henry Adams dropped out of sight in 1884. The efforts of Adams and the Colonization Council were not unrewarded. Over the next three decades, more than 11,000 southern blacks settled in Liberia. It is unclear if Henry Adams was among them.

Expectations ran high for the days wreck fishing as reports of 80 cod in a day, large Pollack, conger and a chance of a Ling or two, had been received from various sources.
We all assembled in the harbour eagerly waiting to head off into the sunshine on a flat calm sea. The boats set sail "almost" on time. After a brief spell catching some fresh Mackerel, the boats headed off to their chosen wrecks, with one travelling some 28 miles, and with the other boats heading off in different directions, plenty of sea would be covered.
Both EFSA and the local skippers learnt a lot at this venue. As opposed to their normal Channel Island & mid channel drift fishing over the wrecks & reefs, the venue this time was the inshore wrecks and reefs. It seems that most of the fishing around this area is on the drift, this became apparent with one skipper retrieving his anchor from the storage hold (I'm sure the bar code was still intact) that said they put us on the marks to allow us to catch fish as you can see by the total amount of fish caught.
Today's plan was to fish the inshore reef/bank, some plans never seem to be followed as our 1st drift was over a small wreck wedged in between a rocky pinnacle and an area of rough ground. Still the fish were obliging to some anglers.
Menticirrhus Littoralis is the silver whiting, unless you are in Australia where the Sillago Bassensis is the silver or school whiting, Micromesistius Poutassau is the blue whiting, do not confuse these with the fish that was actually caught which I believe is the Merlangius Merlangius or English whiting, hope that clarifies this matter!
Best entertainment of the day was witnessing Ray retrieving the anchor by hand, just goes to show that all that bait gathering & manual labour has improved his fitness. It was worth sacrificing my penguin for! The Sea Gods obviously approved as he won the boat by one point!
Just as a matter of interest, this is the list of all fish caught over the two days.
Rose Ann skippered by Mike Baker with an average of 53.21 points per angler.

Q: rounding to 2 decimal points on a specific column I have a list like this:
Cond1 4 0.2343
Cond2 10 1.765
Cond3 8 1.9234

I am trying to round the value in the 3rd column to 2 decimal points, so that it will look like this:
Cond1 4 0.24
Cond2 10 1.77
Cond3 8 1.92

I know that there is a way to do this in awk, but I can't seem to figure it out.

A: Use %.2f modifier for printf or sprintf():
$ awk '{printf "%s %s %.2f\n",$1,$2,$3}' file

or
$ awk '{$3=sprintf("%.2f",$3)}1' file

Output:

The Japanese government has published some data showing that the criminality of the population over 65 years old has surpassed the youth criminality in absolut numbers. Last year 23,000 were commited by people older than 65, while only 20,000 crimes were committed by people between 14 and 19. One of the most frequent crimes committed by old people is shoplifting at supermarkets. This is just another curious fact about the long-lived Japanese population.


I can't believe we're nearing the end of another year! I can still remember the time when I was composing my Year-Ender entry for 2007.
Unlike last year when I focused mainly on the travel destinations that I've been to; this time, I'd like to think deeper and talk about the 8 greatest lessons that 2008 has taught me.
If there's one thing I love about being a blogger is the group of friends that I have gained. Attending blog events and product launches has been so much fun thanks to these talented individuals. I would also like to thank my dear friend Sophie for her wonderful tips and encouragement for me to keep on blogging.
Just like wine, friendship gets better through time. I'm lucky that no matter how crazy life can be, I know I can count on these girls at any time. They have seen me through my ups and downs, they were with me as we grew up together and SOON, they will be part of the biggest milestone of my life.
I've always lived a very sheltered life though I love to travel. Ironic isn't it? I'm glad that my love for travelling has allowed me to face a couple of my biggest fears and I will never forget the beautiful sight that I came face to face with after an hour's worth of hiking.
Challenges met this year has taught me to stay positive, live a happy life and to make each day worth while. What happened to Papa has taught us that every minute that we're together should not be put to waste.
It was painful to say goodbye to my comfort zone but I know that only when I learn to move on will be the time that I'll grow. Though I will always miss working for the Green Siren, nothing beats the satisfaction of knowing that I am fulfilling my dream every single day.
I'm glad I got two of the best families in the world! 'nuff said.
I always believe that He's there watching over us. He watches of my dad while he continues to give me, my sister and my mom the strength that we need each day. Thanks Kuya Jess.
These are the 8 Greatest lessons that 2008 has taught me. I would like to wish you and you family a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Here's to a prosperous 2009 ahead! Yipee!!!


It snowed heavily overnight and the temperature got to about -2 degrees. We decided to go for a walk up the castle mount and on our way back we walked past the market square. I loved how the orange lights contrasted with the rest of the weather. Overcast and entering the blue hour of sunset made for a great image.
The snow has pretty much all melted now and I'm not sure we are expecting any more, but one day of snow on the weekend brought smiles all round!

I am the mother of a child with aspergers and a research psychologist. I recently wrote a book on parenting children with aspergers and during the research phase of the book I spoke to some 200 parents who often felt that the education system was letting their children down. As a result of these anecdotal stories I felt that we needed to obtain some empirical evidence about educational provision. To this end I set up a website with some other parents.
My name is Catie and I have two children My son is 3 and a half and was diagnosed with asd 6 months ago. he attends a great mainstream nursery who have been really good with him an educational someone is going to see him on thursday for some assesment to see if he needs extra help. I have a speech therapist who i have not seen for months I am not sure how often they see you but he has no language so maybe that is why.
Hi to all:-)) Tribunal HELP!!!
Hello. My name is Mary. My son is nearly 4 and has ASD.
He starts full time in mainstream education in September which I am worried about for many reasons.
I have never used any online community forums before so bare with me if I seem a bit slow!
Hi all, Just a quick introduction, I am a mom to two children Billy who is 10, and Lola-Rose who is 2 and a half. Lola has just been diagnosed as on the spectrum after me pushing for intervention with my local child development centre. Lola has no speech and interacts with others on her terms basis. Since diagnosis i have researched several different programs and deceided i am going to attend the Son-Rise program in London next year but my head is like a whirl wind of emotions which im sure you are all familar with.
'Autism is not a tragedy, Ignorance is the real tragedy' 'Just as the rainbow has its spectrum so too has Autism.....welcome to the colour-se7en.
Hi My name is Catherine I am the mum of 3 boys aged 14, 12 and 9. My eldest has a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome and is coping well at a mainstream boarding school, the middle one has fairly high functioning autism but with a significant language disorder, he is currently home educated. My youngest has no diagnosis but would probably meet the criteria for Aspergers. He is also in mainstream school.
My name is Stewart O'Callaghan and I have a few connections to autism: I have a brother with an ASD diagnosis, I have been an ABA therapist, I research autism and I am also currently in the procedure of gaining an Asperger's diagnosis for myself via the NHS.
I'm happy to talk about all of the above and look forward to such discussions.

This course examines the way in which dominant movements within Anglo-American modernist literature between 1890 and 1960 reflect artists' attempts to reimagine the world around them and humanity's place within it, including such stylistic developments as imagism, cubism, naturalism, and surrealism. The transformation of traditional genres and styles which characterizes the period is famously encapsulated by poet Ezra Pound's declaration that artists of all kinds must "Make It New." Students can expect to read the poetry, stories, and novels of such authors as Joseph Conrad, Henry James, T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, David Jones, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, and Samuel Beckett –authors whose writings exemplify some of the most radical experimentations of the modernist period.
In this course, we will discuss how comics and other forms of literary-visual art illuminate various environmental concepts. Environmental problems result not merely from political negligence or technological expansion. They also result from, and persist as, problems of representation. Beginning from this position, we will consider comics art as a unique medium for telling stories about how humans and other animals relate to their environments, focusing especially on the form's capacity for representing time, space, word, and image in sequence. To further enrich our understanding of the cultural values and concepts that undergird the environmental decisions individuals, communities, and institutions make every day, we will examine how environmental problems intersect with issues of race, class, disability, gender, and sexuality. As astute environmental critics, we will dismantle the experience of reading comics, and the craft of making them, through a series of short essays and by making our own comics. In other words, we will come to understand comics art as a medium for both creative and critical invention. Though most of our course readings will be comics produced in the last 30 years, we will also look at comic strips, zines, art books, illuminated manuscripts, broadside ballads, and natural histories that cover a longer time span, dating back to the Middle Ages.
In 2016, Colson Whitehead's The Underground Railroad won the National Book Award and was selected for Oprah's Book Club—a pair of honors that bespeaks the critical recognition and popular appeal of his work. Since his debut novel, The Intuitionist (1999), the hallmark of Whitehead's fiction has been the way in which it bridges between "highbrow" and popular culture, from noir to advertising to zombies. In this course we will consider these collisions of literary form and generic fiction, and specifically how Whitehead uses them to confront deep-rooted narratives of progress, race, and enterprise in America. Readings will include several of Whitehead's novels— The Intuitionist, John Henry Days, Apex Hides the Hurt, Zone One, and The Underground Railroad—and a sampling of his essays, articles, and tweets. Students will produce several short written exercises and one final mixed-media or multi-media project that they develop over the duration of the course.
When the nominations for the 2016 Oscars were released the public quickly noticed a problem: No Black Americans had been nominated in any major category. This quickly sparked an outraged social media campaign with minorities of many races, ethnicities, and genders denouncing the historicbias of the Oscars towards anyone who is not a white cis straight male. Users of Twitter and other social media platforms pointed out all the talented performers and directors ignored over the decades by with the hashtag "oscarssowhite." In this course we will study American films from different genres all directed or produced by minority filmmakers. Furthermore we will ask how minority identities are intersectional by questioning the overlapping markers of race, religion, gender, and sexuality within the films. And, of course, we will ask whether a film need to be about identity politics at all simply because it is made by a minority or whether identity politics is always already part of any media production, no matter its creator. Through our discussions we will not only study and broaden the base of great American films, but also contribute to diversifying the production and distribution of minority media.
explorations are applicable to broader contexts, both local and global.
Students will spend the first three weeks of the course in Portugal, which offers a unique context in which to study making and adapting the natural and built environment towards sustainable models of design innovation. While abroad, students will study the roles natural resources play in the future of historic places; will investigate principles for the design of artifacts, systems, and/or building technologies that engage both local and global knowledge; and will use literature, theory, and other cultural texts to test, frame, and deepen their ideas. Locations will include the San Miguel, Lisbon, Porto, and the Alentejo region, with additional day trips. The last two weeks of the course will take place in Providence. Students will complete regular design, drawing, collecting, reading, and writing assignments throughout the entire course. Producing the final project for the course—a publication that will weave together architectural and environmental humanities approaches to a site from the travel component of the course—will be the focus of the last two weeks of the course.
part of nature or distinct from it, and which people counted as fully human? Was slavery a natural or unnatural state? Was America a place for farmer-settlers or backwoods hunters and traders? Was its vast wilderness a refuge for religious worship or the devil's territory? To what degree did human dominion over the natural world and its resources extend? Were animals reasoning subjects, instinctual objects of scientific study, or merely animate natural resources? Along the way, we will also ask how nature writing developed as its own multimedia genre during the period, as well as how it influenced various other genres of imaginative literature.
There is a rich tradition of poetry across the African continent. In this course we will look at some precolonial orature, then move to the major figures of the late colonial period, the early postcolonial period, and the antiapartheid struggle – Ama Ata Aidoo, Dennis Brutus, James Matthews, Christopher Okigbo, Leopold Senghor – before moving to look at some contemporary voices – Ingrid de Kok, Tanure Ojaide, Kwadwo Opoku- Agyemang, Ladan Osman, and Warshan Shire.
This course explores the human as a temporally specific and, perhaps, obsolescing philosophical concept. Emerging most cogently in the European Enlightenment, humans materialize as the center of their own concerns, i.e. humanism, through a set of binary oppositions that include human/god, human/animal, human/savage, hu(man)/woman, human/machine, subject/object etc. Post-humanism, broadly conceived, seeks to mark, blur, upend, and/or abolish the distinction or relationship between the opposed terms of these binaries. This course begins by attempting to account for how the human/Man came to prominence during the economic, social and geopolitical conditions of the 17th and 18th century in order to understand the threads of thought that contemporary genres of Post-humanisms attempt to unravel: such as animal studies, object oriented ontology, AI studies, and feminist and black studies in the subject of "Man." The course then turns to these various subgenres in order to think through post-humanism's ethical, political, and social stakes in our contemporary moment.
As a seminar, this course has two primary goals: 1. To engage critically with natural history as a literary and visual art form and with its history as a scientific practice. 2. To collaborate on projects and experiments that employ digital and analog methods for analyzing, interpreting, archiving, curating, and creating visual and literary works of natural history. Throughout the semester, we will visit local and regional museums, labs, and field sites to facilitate these goals. Natural history is a crucial genre for understanding the origins of modern environmentalism, the history of science, discourses of race, and the nature of European imperialism. As an artistic and epistemological practice, natural history enjoyed the height of its popularity during the early modern and enlightenment periods, as European explorers, traders, and colonizers endeavored to classify, catalog, explain, and exploit the diverse flora and fauna of the Americas. In the process, they encountered (and often ignored or stole from) the complex folk biology of various Native American cultures. Especially in the Americas, natural historical knowledge production depended on the collaboration of various cultures within profoundly uneven power dynamics: European explorers and creolized American naturalists, political leaders and ordinary citizens, amateur collectors and professional theorists, men and women, slave owners and African slaves, and Euro-colonial traders and indigenous Americans. Furthermore, early naturalists were polymaths—scientists, philosophers, political leaders, artists, writers, collectors, and traders—before the stratification of the modern sciences into disciplines that took place during the nineteenth century. As science became a more professional and specialized endeavor, natural history evolved into various forms of amateur field science, environmental art, and nature writing. As such, our course materials will range from the late medieval period to the present.

Higher percentage of FISH-determined monosomy 3 and 8q amplification in uveal melanoma cells relate to poor patient prognosis

PURPOSE: To investigate the relation between patient survival and incrementally increasing percentages of fluorescence in situ hybridization-determined complete loss of chromosome 3 (monosomy 3) and gain of chromosome 8q in primary uveal melanoma cells.
METHODS: Clinicopathological factors were related to disease-free survival. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was performed using probes on chromosomes 1, 3, 6, and 8. The percentages of UM cells with monosomy 3 or chromosome 8q gain were classified in groups with incrementally increasing percentages and related to disease-free survival. Correlations between clinical factors and cytogenetic aberrations were also analyzed.
RESULTS: Two-hundred twenty choroidal and ciliary body melanomas were analyzed. The following proved to be significant predictors of survival in univariate analysis: older patient age (P = 0.003); large tumor diameter (P < 0.001); mixed cell type (P = 0.001); presence of closed microvascular loops (P < 0.001); loss of chromosome 1p (P = 0.006); monosomy 3 (P < 0.001); gain of 6p (P < 0.001); and gain of chromosome 8q (P < 0.001). Multivariate Cox analysis displayed monosomy 3 (Hazard ratio [HR] 2.83, P = 0.002) and gain of chromosome 8q (HR 3.13, P = 0.002) as the most important independent prognostic factors of poor survival, followed by older patient age (HR 1.02, P = 0.017). Increasing percentages of monosomy 3 and gain of chromosome 8q in tumor cells showed a correlation with worse prognosis (Log-rank test 49.9 and 40.4, both P < 0.001) and increased number of additional copies of 8q correlated with shorter disease-free interval (Log-rank test 45.7, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: A high percentage monosomy 3 and chromosome 8q gain in primary UM cells showed a strong relation with poor disease-free survival compared with low percentage aberrations.

Human Not Human Enough: A green and pleasant land.
A green and pleasant land.
George Monbiot wants to rewild Britain (and everywhere else). As Caitlan Moran just pointed out: what's not to love about this plan? You just deregulate the green bits and let nature transform conservations into wildernesses. With elephants. And mastodons. Hell yes.
This is all well and good if you care about this sort of thing, but for those of us who never go anywhere that's not within 20 minutes walk of a Sainsbury's, the thought of real wilderness right here in the UK is actually a bit scary. I mean, the whole point of England is that you don't have to worry about this kind of thing - we got rid of any creature capable of more than a light scratching centuries ago, so we don't have to ever stay up at night with dreams of being trampled by buffalo or bitten by toxic critters with more than four legs. This is one of the best things about Britain, and it makes the prospect of going abroad all the more exciting. In other lands, according to our imagination, you can hardly move for vicious reptiles and unpredictable large mammals. They're there to visit if you're ever curious. Thank god.
Indeed, if such beasts were to return to our shores, the populace would be so unprepared to deal with them that mass panic would surely ensue. 99% of headlines would instantly become something like "baby dragged from crib by giant sloth, found badly licked" or "elk beaten to death by confused mob". Unlike those of America or Australia, British children are not raised with a working knowledge of how to react to bear or crocodile sightings. The presence of these creatures would only make us a danger to ourselves.
The other thing that concerns me about the rewilding idea is that it implicitly attacks the kind of nature we already have in the UK. Personally, I love Britain's nature - it's boring enough to be a) not remotely dangerous and b) not something you feel you have to visit very often, and when you do visit, it's the perfect kind of nature for brooding and feeling cynical - a vital part of maintaining our national psyche. The British idea of a good bit of countryside is a featureless expanse of moorland with nothing but ugly, gnarled heather bushes across some scraggy contours. Maybe throw in a few large boulders if you're feeling excitable. Either that or some featureless rolling hills with short, wispy grass and a nice view over a bleak grey sea and biting, gale-force winds assaulting you from every direction. This is the kind of nature we all know and love. So it's distressing to see Monbiot's followers explicitly attacking it, or Monbiot himself insisting that it needs to go.
While elephants and sabre tooth tigers are undoubtedly awesome, so are giant death robots. My point is, some awesome stuff is better experienced at a distance, preferably from another continent. Keep Britain tame and miserable, please: that's the way I like it.

Want To Know Thatcher's Legacy? Look Around You
Thatcher's Britain was one that lauded individualism, conspicuous consumption, and the fetishizing of creature comforts. It unitised the world around us, and made a virtue of economic hubris, cleverly rebranded as "freedom', no doubt with the help of an advertising agency.
Paddy Duffy
Writer and broadcaster
16/04/2013 07:30am BST | Updated June 15, 2013
In St Paul's Cathedral, where Margaret Thatcher's ceremonial funeral takes place tomorrow, is the epitaph to that magnificent building's architect, Sir Christopher Wren. It reads, "if you seek his monument, look around you"
It's fitting then that Thatcher's journey would end there because, love her or hate her, for better or worse, Margaret Thatcher's legacy too is all around us.
It was all around us from the hour she died. The online reaction, such a predictable set piece as it was, proved it: even in the immediate aftermath of her death she polarised dramatically. Visceral rejoicers were anticipated and tut-tutted by high-handed acolytes, with potshots about her corrosive effect on British society and a hypocritical lefty lack of empathy and respect flying back and forth all day. It seemed at points as if so much time and energy and preparation had gone in to the social media thrust and parry that it would almost be rude not to.
Apart from those either toasting her death or getting ready to chisel her face into the White Cliffs Of Dover, one of the more bluntly comic reactions to her death was that of some businesses. One restaurant used her death as a perfect time to let the world know that their mixed kebabs were "fucking delicious", while a bar in Belfast, where Thatcher was always a touchy subject for obvious reasons, had a promotion on Argentine beer, and offered free milk with every coffee. On some level, she'd probably approve of the small business innovation and initiative.
Even her very funeral arrangements - and the associated public costs - caused controversy. Although it's probably better the likes of G4S aren't handling it, as it would probably cost three times as much and the cortege would get lost on Waterloo Bridge.
There too were hints of her legacy in the fact none of Harry Styles' fans knew who the hell she was, nor would any of them have likely cared only for Harry tweeting about it. No such thing as society indeed. Her legacy was definitely felt in a sphere where Mr Styles is a lot more comfortable, the UK charts, where the whole "Dong Dong The Witch Is Dead" debacle led to a ludicrous BBC fudge that infuriated pretty much everyone in some form or other.
But whatever the reaction,the crucial thing is that everyone reacted. People always did. And yet the paradox is that while Margaret and indifferent reactions never went together, the society (for want of a better word) she left behind is riddled with ambivalence.
We've seen this very clearly in recent times, to give but one example, following the Occupy Movement. They were regularly scoffed for their economic naïveté, their lack of a mission statement, and apparent hypocrisy because some of them still drank coffee. That we lived in such a bottom line world in which it's impossible to evade the reach of capitalism and a system wholly based on planned obsolescence being precisely the point seemed lost on these people.
There's a certain "ends justify the means" deferential attitude to industry still knocking around that owes a great deal to Thatcher. Amazon are up their necks in ethical problems, Vodafone don't pay their tax, Starbucks were embarrassed in to paying theirs. That's just a few examples, but for every person protesting it, there's probably another one saying "that's awful" but still downloading and drinking lattes away, and another rolling their eyes at the bleeding hearts who reckon we should be lucky we live in a world of free texts and second albums for less than a pound. Margaret Thatcher did great damage to the social fabric by simply rejecting its premise. The writer Aaron Sorkin is very fond of the phrase "More and more we expect less and less of each other". He's right.
Then of course there's the legacy she left the opposition. In many ways they were the keenest disciples. With some on the left languishing in the kind of doctrinaire denial we see the free-marketeers displaying now, and the social democrats, liberals and centrists hamstrung by the lunacy of the electoral system, personality clashes and bad luck, 15 years of kicking their heels made for impatience. The likes of Tony Blair burned with a very Thatcherite ambition, and as such rather than carve out their own definition of the era New Labour followed the market trends that they thought was the Route 1 to the power and the glory; a carefully packaged commodity to sell to an increasingly consumerist, obsessively demographied public.
And yet in spite of her absolute dominance of the era (indeed, *her* era), the other important part of her legacy was the fact she regularly failed to do what she actually intended. She was an arch-patriot yet she basically cut the regions and the nations loose, to their perpetual resentment. She was a woman of staunch Victorian values of thrift and sobriety, yet oversaw unprecedented and lurid profligacy. She spoke of the freedom of the individual, yet decried and legislated against "the inalienable right to be gay". She blasted the Soviet Union in the most stringent and absolutist terms, yet found no problem with Apartheid South Africa, Pinochet or Suharto. She's been presented now as the pre-eminent statesman since the war, yet she showed remarkable lack of finesse on the world stage. She cited St Francis of Assisi pledging to bring harmony from discord, yet she became notorious in Ireland for her "Out, Out, Out" response to the New Ireland Forum, and her "No, No, No" response to Europe, a reaction that ended her premiership.
She was a woman of her time in many ways. Had she faced an election in '76, '77 or'78, she probably would not have won. Had she gone for re-election in 1982, Roy Jenkins could very well have been Prime Minister after. But she was lucky, and she hung on in there in office for 11 years. Her influence hung around much longer. And that is a great shame.

South Carolina state Supreme Court hears oral arguments in abortion lawsuit
South Carolina's state Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the state's abortion ban.
S.B. 1, also known as the "South Carolina Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act," currently prohibits abortions if a fetal heartbeat is heard, which is generally around six weeks after conception, with exceptions including rape, incest, and to save the mother's life. Abortion is currently banned in the state at 20 weeks.
"I think the lawyers for the state made strong arguments backing the state legislature's authority and that the rule of law favors protecting life," Attorney General Alan Wilson told Fox News Digital via an email statement. "I want to commend both sides for the civility shown in the hearing, as Chief Justice Beatty noted. The justices asked a lot of thoughtful questions and we look forward to hearing their ruling."
Arguments in the case began Wednesday morning in Columbia at the Supreme Court Building, just one day after the South Carolina Senate rejected a proposal to ban nearly all abortions in the state. A conference committee has been established to distinguish between the House and Senate bills.
STACEY ABRAMS SUGGESTS HAVING AN ABORTION AS SOLUTION TO INFLATION: 'ECONOMIC REALITIES OF HAVING A CHILD'
"Today, abortion remains legal in South Carolina. We will continue our fight in court to ensure all South Carolinians can access essential health care," Molly Rivera, Communications Director of Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, said in a statement. "We are hopeful the court will protect the privacy and bodily autonomy of all South Carolinians."
Planned Parenthood South Atlantic and Greenville Women's Clinic filed a lawsuit challenging the state's abortion ban shortly after Roe v Wade was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The lawsuit was initially filed in July shortly after the abortion ban took effect as a result of the US Supreme Court overruling Roe v. Wade in June. The lawsuit, brought by Planned Parenthood South Atlantic and Greenville Women's Clinic as well as two physician plaintiffs, asked the state trial court to block the ban, arguing it violated South Carolinians' Constitutional rights.

Planned Parenthood had previously announced legal action over the fetal heartbeat bill back in 2021, moments after Republican Gov. Henry McMaster signed the bill into law. The restrictions were suspended by a U.S. District Court judge after having been in effect for just two days, a ruling that was later upheld in a February 2022 appeals court decision.

South Carolina legislature codified Roe v. Wade's 1973 ruling just one year later in 1974. Due to the 2021 ban retaining original language, a "conflict in the law" arose, with the justices ultimately writing that the ban depended upon Roe's eventual overruling.

Rand Paul leads investigation into 'disturbing' $5.4B in pandemic fraud as Biden moves to end COVID emergency


I started my first blog in 2007 when I was living in Kenya and I only had one hour a week at an internet cafe in the nearest connected town to upload something about what was happening for my fiancee, family, and friends to know what was happening with me. When I read back over these posts, there is the usual amount of naive musing about life inter-spliced with recounting my adventures in intercultural work.
Since that time, I've had four different blogs and generated content for 2 organizations before taking a hiatus in 2017. 10 years of writing in various formats has given me a lot of opportunities to experiment with my voice and I can finally say that…the experiments are not over.
I enjoy writing because it is a way to share my thoughts with another person in a deliberate and intentional way. This exchange opens the possibility to be inspired by another's response to my thought and then continue to develop a concept further.
Blog- these are standard fare: topical reflections that bring my perspective and experience to bear on a subject. These should be short, sharable, and open the conversation to explore an area in more depth.
Essays- focused writing on a subject that requires more nuance and probably in the 1500-word range. These will allow me to do further research and bring that back for analysis.


There have been several recent cases dealing with discovery of social networking evidence in a civil dispute. A central issue in the background of all these cases is that an opponent is typically entitled to relevant information from the other side's social networking profiles, but turning over the entire profile wholesale may not adequately protect the privacy interests of the party whose information is turned over. One court in Pennsylvania didn't bother grappling with this dispute, and went to the extreme. The court didn't just order relevant portions of the profiles turned over, it granted defendant's discovery request seeking the plaintiff's passwords (i.e., ordered the plaintiff to turn over his passwords to the defendant).
Background: The basic facts should sound familiar by now. Plaintiff suffers personal injury (in this case he was rear-ended during a "cool down lap" following a stock car race at the defendant's track). Following the injury and the lawsuit, plaintiff posts material about his recreational activities (in this case a fishing trip and attendance at the Daytona 500 race). Defendant seeks full discovery of plaintiff's social networking sites to look for evidence which discredits plaintiff's claim that plaintiff is unable to enjoy life as a result of the injury.
Here, rather than asking the plaintiff to turn over the content of the profiles or relevant information in the profiles, counsel for defendant actually asked plaintiff for the login names and passwords for any of plaintiff's social networking accounts.
no person choosing MySpace or Facebook as a communication forum could reasonably expect that his communications would remain confidential, as both sites clearly express the possibility of disclosure. Confidentiality is not essential to maintain the relationships between and among social network users, either. The relationships to be fostered through those media are basic friendships, not attorney-client, physician-patient, or psychologist-patient types of relationships, and while one may expect that his or her friend will hold certain information in confidence, the maintenance of one's friendships typically does not depend on confidentiality.
This seems like a pretty untenable conclusion, for a variety of reasons.
For starters, the court totally glosses over the relevance analysis. There is no way that all of the information in the plaintiff's social networking site can be relevant to the dispute, and the court's decision grants defendant access to both relevant and irrelevant information. There's also information that is likely to be private or sensitive and which may subject the plaintiff to embarrassment. State evidence rules likely protect against disclosure of this type of information, or at least place limitations on the use of this information, and the court's order doesn't take this into account at all.
There's also the issue that disclosure of the passwords may provide defendant access to plaintiff's other accounts (such as his account with Amazon or his bank account), given that people use the same password among multiple sites. The password also allows the defendant to post as the plaintiff, to edit the plaintiff's profile, use or download apps, change privacy settings (etc.). I would guess there's some implied obligation on the part of the defendant (or its counsel) to not misuse the password, but the court did not even bother spelling out that the defendant had to maintain the password as confidential or not use it for any of these purposes.
One hopes that the court takes a second look at this and changes course (or that the decision will be reversed on appeal), because it certainly seems like there are some key issues that the court did not take into account. Interestingly, I don't think Facebook weighed in on this (it may not have had notice). It should weigh in.
Takeaways for litigants: One big takeaway for litigants is that anything posted to social networking sites is fair game, among other reasons, because courts may not appreciate the nuances between truly private messages and public posts. There are gradations of private information, and Facebook itself says that it gives users the tools to control how private or public they want their messages to be. (The private user group posts from the Finkel v. Facebook case is a good example of information that's sort of in-between.) In any event, courts don't always seem sensitive to the nuances here, and as a result, information that a user reasonably thought was private may end up being disclosed in litigation. The prudent course is to not post information on (or even send information through) a social network that you don't want to disclose to the world at large.
Takeaways for lawyers: A possible takeaway for lawyers as well. As new modes of communication emerge, and lawyers start to embrace these methods of communication, there's a question of whether lawyers should worry about things like confidentiality or attorney/client privilege for these types of communications. The obvious concerns are the social networks themselves, third parties, and communication snafus, but this case illustrates that courts may not always get it right when it comes to these communications. Lawyers probably would be wise to adopt a policy of not engaging in confidential or privileged communications with clients via social networking sites (at a minimum, until courts reach clarity on issues such as the one presented in this case).

ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Jon Gruden is expected interview for the vacant NFL head coaching jobs this off-season.
Gruden has said that he would like to remain at ESPN, but several teams have put out feelers to the former head coach turned broadcaster in the past few weeks. The Philadelphia Eagles and the San Diego Chargers are reportedly the top choices.
He could begin to talks to teams today, and is interested in returning to the sidelines, as long as the right job opens up.
The Cleveland Browns are not expected to garner interest in Gruden. He has had a frosty relationships, at best, with new Browns President Joe Banner.
He previously turned down the Tennessee Volunteers head coaching job weeks ago.

How do you find the sides of a parallelogram on a graph?
Each of the four sides of a rectangle is the same length as the other two. It is necessary to add together all four side lengths in order to obtain the perimeter, or distance around the rectangle. Adding the length and breadth together and then multiplying the result by two is a simple and efficient way to achieve this, especially when there are two of each side length.
Place the points on a graph and label them with the letters that correspond to their coordinates. The points must be connected in the order that they are supplied. The lengths of the sides may be determined from the graph, and the slopes of the sides can be used to demonstrate that the shape is a parallelogram.

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy case is a proceeding under federal law in which the debtor seeks relief under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a bankruptcy trustee collects the debtor's assets, sells or "liquidates" them, and uses the proceeds of the liquidation to pay creditors. However, in most cases, the debtor is allowed to keep "exempt" property, and, depending on the situation, permit you to keep your car and home, provided that your payments are current and there is no significant equity. Chapter 7 is generally the simplest and quickest form of bankruptcy, and typically eliminates most kinds of unsecured debt, such as credit cards, medical bills, and most personal loans.
It is a court order releasing a debtor from all of his or her dischargeable debts and ordering the creditors not to attempt to collect them from the debtor in the future. If you file a Chapter 7, the discharge will release you from liability for most of your debts and prevent creditors from taking actions to collect those debts. The vast majority of Chapter 7 cases result in discharge, but discharge is not guaranteed. The bankruptcy court may deny a discharge, for example, if it finds that you failed to keep or produce adequate financial records, failed to sufficiently explain any loss of assets, committed a bankruptcy crime such as perjury, failed to complete an approved course on financial management, failed to obey a court order, or fraudulently transferred or destroyed property that would have become part of the bankruptcy estate.
Also, a discharge will not necessarily eliminate all of your debt. Alimony and child support obligations, certain types of tort liability, student loans, and some tax liabilities, for example, will remain in place even after the Chapter 7 discharge is granted. To the extent that liquidation cannot satisfy these liabilities, you will remain liable for them after the bankruptcy case.
Means testing is a method of determining a person's eligibility to maintain a chapter 7 case. A person whose annualized current monthly income from all sources exceeds the median annual income, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, for the person's state and family size, must show that he or she is not able to pay a minimum of approx. $195 per month for 60 months to his or her unsecured creditors from his or her disposable monthly income, in order to be eligible to maintain a chapter 7 case.
What Effect Does Chapter 7 Have on Secured Debt?
Even if you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, secured creditors may retain some rights to seize parts of your property against which they hold a lien. If, for example, a creditor sold you a car on credit in exchange for a security interest in the car, the creditor may be able to seize the car even after a Chapter 7 discharge is granted. If you want to keep the car or other secured property, you must choose to "reaffirm" the debt by agreeing with the creditor that you will remain liable and pay all or a portion of the money owed. In exchange, the creditor will promise that it will not repossess the secured property as long as you continue to make payments.
If you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the discharge will release you from liability for most of your debts and prevent creditors from taking actions to collect those debts. The vast majority of Chapter 7 cases result in discharge, but discharge is not guaranteed. The bankruptcy court may deny a discharge, for example, if it finds that you failed to keep or produce adequate financial records, failed to sufficiently explain any loss of assets, committed a bankruptcy crime such as perjury, failed to complete an approved course on financial management, failed to obey a court order, or fraudulently transferred or destroyed property that would have become part of the bankruptcy estate.
A discharge, moreover, will not necessarily eliminate all of your debt. Alimony and child support obligations, certain types of tort liability, and some tax liabilities, for example, will remain in place even after the Chapter 7 discharge takes effect. To the extent that liquidation cannot satisfy these liabilities, you will remain liable for them after the bankruptcy case.
