A step towards building a sense of belonging and provides social support to single adult residents with a history of chronic homelessness.
We aim to promote community interactions by improving engagement levels at community events and building a social activity platform to further strengthen relationships among residents.
As a human, we all crave for sense of belonging. Research shows that a strong social relationship can affect mental health, physical health, and mortality. Being part of a community provides social support to get through the stresses of daily life, creates empathy for others, and forges a shared identity.
The challenge of building community at Harrison Hotel is first recognizing that individual residents are at various stages in their lives and have different communication needs. There is a spectrum of experience in terms of personal trauma, physical and/or mental health, substance abuse, and familiarity/comfort with communal housing. Our aim is to respect individual needs for space and healing, while also building a community of support for all residents.
Harrison Hotel is an affordable housing community in Oakland, California, that provides housing for single adult residents with a history of chronic homelessness. Lifelong Supportive Housing Program (SHP) partners with Harrison Hotel housing owners and property managers to support residents in health and social services, housing stability, employment, outreach and engagement. Together, Lifelong and Harrison Hotel are dedicated to improving the overall quality of life of residents by working to build a community that values diversity, compassion, and non-judgment. Team Reach focused on innovating and refining communication systems at Harrison Hotel.
Through appreciative inquiry and generative research methods, we interviewed 28 MEMBERS OF HARRISON HOTEL AND RESIDENTS to gain a better sense of their feelings, needs, and motivations as they relate to current communication systems at Harrison Hotel. We also hosted a larger group activity with residents called a Monthly Lunch and Learn to gather feedback on our social activity platform prototype.
Then we interviewed 10 staff members and 18 residents. These one-on-one conversations helped us gain a better understanding of their point of view and experiences living and working at HH, which we'll dive into later.
We gave the residents a kit, where in they could express their emotions by playing with emoticons. placements. Shared cookies along with drawing material where in they had to draw a day in their life. We also provided them with disposable camera where in they had been asked to click things which they liked or disliked in context with Harrison Hotel.
To have a clear understanding of these design opportunities, we started with field visits -- our fly on the wall observations. We studied the floor plan of HH to figure out the highest traffic areas for interaction. We also , attended Lifelong and HH staff meetings to learn about the HH ecosystem, and how staff and residents interact with each other.
we saw an opportunity to build a sense of community centered around open communication and need finding. But before we get into that, let us introduce to you each party's perspective first.
In the current situation, they complained about a lot of residents doing hard drugs, and a lot of them dealing with different kinds of mental illnesses.
In addition to that, residents now consider Harrison Hotel as a shelter more than a home. They don't interact with their neighbours and there is no sense of community in the building whatsoever.
They want to create partnerships with artists, students, restaurants, and organizations.
They want their partners to come in Harrison Hotel and share their skills or knowledge or whatever they could offer to the residents.
Therefore they believe that this will create strong connections with the world outside of Harrison Hotel.
They want the staff to ask them personally how they feel or if they need anything.
They want more human contact, which they think is lacking in the current situation.
A lot of the residents at Harrison Hotel have never been out of Oakland.
Wharf, or the Golden Gate Bridge, or the Golden Gate Park.
They want to go on short walk in Oakland to some restaurants that offer them good food, or new food they never tried before.
They want to go to the movies to watch recently released movies and eat popcorn.
There is a gap in understanding between what residents want for community activities and what staff believes that residents want.
Before bringing in the outside community, the focus should be on creating a forum for open communication inside Harrison Hotel to better understand residents' feelings and needs.
Creating a stronger communication system could help build trust, accountability, and a sense of community in the longer term.
How might we build the sense of community at Harrison Hotel by encouraging everyone to participate and cater to the needs of each resident?
Check-in Question featuring prompts that ask residents how they're currently feeling and emotion stickers and/or other tools to interact with the board.
Activities Wish List and Drop-off Box to enable residents to indicate what activities they would like to participate in and see others' ideas. There will also be a drop-off box to collect individual replies to longer questionnaires or for privacy.
Community Celebration Section that could display photos from past community events and feature the photo/bio of a resident and staff member of the month.
Upcoming Events will display information about the next community event, how to get involved, and and other information from the greater Bay Area community.
Through multiple meetings and interviews with staff and residents, we've gained a better understanding of community needs and built a starting point for communication. The social activity platform aims to engage residents and encourage them to express their needs and wishes. The platform is designed to give residents an opportunity to have their voice heard, while also celebrating the existing community and promoting future participation. We hope that with continuous outreach and engagement, residents will feel encouraged to contribute their ideas, participate in more events, and build a sense of belonging within the Harrison Hotel community.


If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
After that He poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith He was girded.
Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter.
Peter saith unto Him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou has no part with Me.
For He knew who should betray Him; therefore said He, You are not all clean.
So after He had washed their feet, and had taken His garments, and was set down again, He said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
You call Me Master and Lord: and you say well; for so I am.
The reason that we do not receive that as a third ordinance in the church is very obvious. The Lord said to His apostles that "after I am gone, the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth, and He will bring to your heart the things that I have said" [John 16:7, 13-15]. So we look in the church itself after Pentecost to find the meaning of the Lord's will for us who belong to the body of Christ. And in the example of the apostles there were two ordinances, the initial one, the ordinance of baptism, and the continuing one, the Lord's Supper. And not in the New Testament in the church is there a third ordinance, the washing of feet.
So, by the interpretation and understanding of the apostles, we learned that when our Lord says, "If I, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you" [John 13:14-15]. The occasion for this menial, humble act of our Lord is very apparent when you read the four Gospels in a harmony. Following the story, as all four of them will tell it, the occasion arose over the quarrel of the apostles as who should be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven [Luke 22:24-30]; and that was occasioned, of course, by their seating arrangement at the Lord's table. Who is going to be next to the Lord? And who is going to sit next to him who is next to the Lord? And how is the arrangement to be? So, the disciples fell into a quarrelsome humor as they came to the upper room and were seated.
Well, that is so human and so reflective of something that's in all of us. We like to be honored, and preferred, and chosen, and exalted, and spoken about, and appreciated, elected, chosen; we're just all that way. There's something in us that likes preferment and notice and acclamation. Well, the disciples were that way. When they came to the upper room to be seated at the Lord's table, they began to quarrel with each other as to who was going to be first, and who was going to be greatest.
It was upon that quarrelsome spirit of the apostles that our Lord took off His garments. And there's not anything more humbling than that when a man is undressed, he loses absolutely all of his worldly preferments and medals and honors. He is so very much like common clay. "And the Lord took off His garments; and girded Himself with a towel . . . and began to wash the disciple's feet" [John 13:4-5].
Now this in itself was a very menial assignment. It was the assignment of a servant, of a slave, and especially in the custom of that day when, to be nice to a guest, you washed the feet of the guest. They didn't have conveniences such as we have. People walked and in being weary, and their feet being dusty, why, when you entered the home, the servant washed the feet of the guest. It was all together a menial task. So, when the disciples were in the upper room, there was no servant there to perform that act of welcome and courtesy, so the Lord did it. He, taking off His garments and girding Himself with His towel, began to wash the feet of the apostles [John 13:5]. Washing feet.
Now we believe that the Lord is God revealed in the flesh. "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us" [John 1:14]. Now I want to ask you, what do you think about that? Do you think that is God like? Do you? Do you think that is like deity to wash feet? Do you? Is that the way God does? God washes feet. Is that the revelation of the Lord? As I read the Bible, and look at our blessed Savior, and look at the church that He left in the earth, and the beautiful example of our Savior Himself, and the beautiful lives of those that are more like Him, I don't know of anything more God-like than this. God washing feet, washing the feet of the angels, washing the feet of men, and washing the feet of His whole universe; that is God-like, that is deity.
Contrariwise, this is man-like, this is carnal: self seeking, self aggrandizement, always coveting the chief places and always seeking self-preferment. That's man. That's not God. This is carnal, this is man-like: to be petulant and critical and unhappy, if you are supposedly overlooked, unappreciated and not advanced. Littleness demands recognition, commendation, admiration, presentation, preferment, exaltation. Littleness is that.
Greatness, God-likeness is the opposite. The menial task is a great task if it's done for Jesus' sake. There are no big things or little things when we do them for Jesus. They are all blessed things when they are done in His name. To light a lamp, to raise a window, to stand at the door, to sweep out the floor, to be kind to a child, to knock at a door, there's just no thing that isn't great if it's done for Jesus' sake. That is what the Lord taught us. He is greatest in the kingdom of God who is the humblest and the most self-effacing, forgetting his own preferment and looking rather to those who could be chosen before Him.
And, ah! that's hard, that's difficult! I don't know of anything that speaks more of the fullness of grace in a man's life and heart than to see others bear the laurels that he wished for himself, to see others stand in places that he coveted to stand in, to see others advance into areas of choice and honor that he wished might come to himself. And for the man to love God and to serve God in a humble and a sweet and a precious and self-effacing way is a virtue of the highest order. It's a diadem, it's a crown, it's a star when a man can be thus close to the image of our Lord.
One of the things that I have known through all the years, and one of the things that I run into now in a certain direction and a certain thing that I'm trying to do, one of the things that I have known and that I see now, there are so many men, so many men who are personally ambitious. And in order to achieve what they have in their minds to achieve, we want to be called to the great pulpit. We want to be advanced in our communion and denomination. And we want to be received by all of these who are in political power in the machinery of the denomination. And they seek personal, ambitiously-coveted prizes in the denomination and in the churches. So they are very careful not to say anything that might offend and not to do anything that might align them as though they were not walking in the same direction, according to the same beat.
And instead of standing vigorously and marvelously and gloriously and courageously for the truth, why, their voices are muted and their stands are compromised. And they place the praises of men above the praises of God. I see it all the time. And looking at it, I think of the poem of Robert Browning concerning William Wordsworth entitled, "The Lost Leader."
Just for a handful of silver he left us.
How all our copper had gone for his service!
Rags – were they purple, his heart had been proud!
Made him our pattern, to live and to die!
Burns, Shelley were with us – they watched from their graves.
He alone sinks to the rear and the slaves!
Still bidding crouch whom the rest bid aspire.
One wrong mortal man, one more insult to God!
I'd rather die than to compromise the truth of God. Lord, help us to forget about our own advancement, our own emoluments, our own rewards, our own exaltations, our own elections and preferments. God, help us to forget it! And may we sink ourselves and lose ourselves in the wonderful goodness, and grace, and love, and truth of the blessed Lord Jesus Christ. I couldn't say it better. Lord, Lord, may there be less and less and less of me, and more and more and more of Thee, until there be nothing of me and everything of Thee.
Washing feet, the menial task of a menial servant: just loving the Lord, doing anything to bless His name and to further His kingdom – washing stripes.
One of the most unusual things that happened in the life of this convert in Philippi, "Believe on the Lord," and he said, "I believe." And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway, and brought them into his house, set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all of his house [Acts 16:30-34].
Now did you notice in that story of the conversion of this Philippian jailer? The first thing he did was not "he was baptized." The first thing he did was he washed the stripes of the disciples of the Lord, the preachers of Jesus – Paul and Silas [Acts 16:33]. That's remarkable in the life of that man! When you look at what he did, this man was hardened and cruel, and he thrust these two preachers into a dungeon, having beaten them and laden them down with stocks and chains [Acts 16:23-24]. No Roman law demanded a harsh, cruel punishment like that; that came out of him. After they had been beaten, then to thrust them in the inner part of the dungeon, to laden them down with chains, and to put their hands and feet in stocks, all of that was beyond the purpose and duty of the law; this man was harsh and cruel beyond the law's requirement.
Now you look at him. In a moment, just like that, having accepted the Lord as his Savior, before anything, anything, anything, he becomes sensitive to the hurt and the need of others. And he looked at those two preachers of Jesus; Paul and Silas, and the first thing he did was to wash their stripes [Acts 16:33]. Washing feet and washing stripes: always that will be the response of the true convert of Jesus Christ. He will be always and ever sensitive to the needs of others around him. He just will. God does that to the converted heart; you can't be a Christian and not be aware of other people. And of course, knowing them, you are sensitive to the burdens, and the sorrows, and the tears, and the heartaches, and the frustrations of human life.
I wish I had a thousand lives to give to the Lord. With some of those lives, I would just love to go to the homes of people and knock at their door, and say to them, "Could I read with you out of God's Book, and could I kneel down and pray with you?" There would hardly be a home,there never has been any in my experience. I hear some people describe how they're mistreated and many, many things when they try to witness to the Lord. I've never in my life been insulted, or rejected, or mistreated, or abused; never in my life. Any time I have ever, ever, in any place in my whole life approached somebody, anybody, about the Lord, I have always had an open heart. Not that they will believe as I believe or turn or be saved, but always there's a response. And I think it is obvious why. It is because in every heart and in every life, in every home, there is a burden, a need, and we all feel it, and especially as the years come and go, it increases.
Well, when you're saved, when you become a Christian, immediately you become sensitive to the needs of other people. And you become interested and you become prayerful. And you become an intercessor, as we met tonight with these who prayed in the day of our church. And I wish all of us could share in that intercessory prayer ministry. We become sensitive to other people. And we ask God to help and to bless.
Now I want to show you. That has become – washing stripes – that has become a symbol of the whole outreach of the Christian faith; washing stripes. You look at this: in all of the Greco-Roman Empire, before Jesus came, in the whole empire, there was not one hospital. There was not one orphan's home. There was not one asylum for the deranged. There was not one home for the elderly. And there was not one institution to care for the needs of the people. On the other hand, there was universal exposure of children. If a man did not want the child, he, by law, could take the child and, what they call, expose it, that is, set it where the wild animals or the dogs would eat it. And womanhood was below the slave. That was before Christ came.
I want you to look again. The world has never reached the height of civilization that it reached in the days of the Greco-Roman Empire. There has never been an architecture that has superseded or excelled beyond the architecture of the Greeks and the Romans. If you want to build a magnificent impressive building today that is beautiful, build it according to Greek architecture, those beautiful columns and all the other things that went with those magnificent structures. There has never been statuary, the sculpture; there has never been painting that exceeded that of the Greeks and the Romans. There has never been philosophy that has even begun to approach that of the Greeks. There has never been poetry or drama that has exceeded that of Homer, of Euripides, of Sophocles, of Aeschylus. There has never been any achievement in civilization, in drama, or poetry, or art, or literature, or architecture that has ever exceeded that of the Greco-Roman people.
And yet, with all of that magnificent civilization, what did I see? There wasn't one hospital in the Roman Empire. There wasn't one orphan's home. There wasn't one asylum for the deranged. There wasn't one ministry for the elderly. What Jesus has done for the world, you just can't realize it. And when you go around this world and look, wherever the gospel is preached, oh! what Jesus brings to the people, the church. The public school came out of the church, the church, the school, all of those precious ministries of remembrance; sensitive, washing stripes, a very symbol of the Christian faith and its Christian ministry. And that's what Jesus does for us when He comes to us in our hearts. He opens our hearts heavenward, God-ward, Christ-ward, and He opens our hearts earthward, makes prayer partners out of us, makes friends out of us. If I love Jesus I can't hate you. Walking with the Lord, I'm your fellow intercessor and your helper. And may God bless us both, as in the name of Jesus we pilgrimage down this earthly road in His dear name.
Ah, sweet people, the longer I live and the older I get, the more Jesus means to me. God be praised that He came to die for us [Hebrews 10:5-14; John 12:27], and that He lives to encourage us in the way of our walk and of our work.
Now may we stand together? Our Lord, when we look at these things in God's Book, we are brought to our knees. Forgive us, Lord, our pride, our selfishness, and forgive us, Lord, when we are offended and hurt by some slight, maybe unconscious, non-recognition. Help us, Lord, to be like Thee. O Jesus, that we might grow in the grace that brings us close to Thy side. And Lord, bless our church in its outreach, in its praying, in its seeking, in its loving. And our Lord, even tonight may Thy Spirit be so felt and Thy grace so beautifully seen that others will say, "We want to be a Christian too; want Jesus to come into our hearts and lives; want Him to be a guest in our home; want to raise our children in His love and goodness." Lord, tonight give us a sweet harvest, and we will thank Thee for it, in Thy dear name, Amen.
In a moment we sing our song, and in that invitation, in the balcony round, you, on this lower floor you, coming into the fellowship of the church, taking Jesus as your Savior, "Preacher, I want to publicly give my life to God as He said in the Book, 'If thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus is Lord' [Romans 10:9], I want to do that. And I want to be baptized." He washed our stripes, and the same hour in the night was baptized [Acts 16:33]. "I want to be baptized."
As the Spirit shall press the appeal to your heart, make the decision. For any reason that God bids you, come, make it now, down a stairway, down an aisle, I will be standing right there by the side of our table of the Lord's Supper. Give me your hand and your heart to God. A family, a couple, or just you, may the Lord speaks in the way as you come, while we wait, while we pray, and while we sing.

As a Rubenstein Fellow, Bonnie is working with students and faculty to address issues related to climate change and natural resource conservation, with a focus on rural America.
Through the Nicholas Institute's Catalyst Program, Bonnie leads a project that is assessing rural attitudes on the environment in order to identify ways of engaging rural Americans – who manage large portions of America's lands and watersheds – in collaborative solutions to addressing environmental challenges. Bonnie also led a 2017-18 Bass Connections project team that developed policy proposals to meet the goals of the Mid-Century Decarbonization plan and is leading a second Bass Connections project team in 2018-19 titled Rethinking the Endangered Species Act's Implementation on Private, Working Lands. Bonnie also teaches courses in the Nicholas School of the Environment and the Sanford School of Public Policy.
From August 2013 to January 2017, Robert Bonnie was the Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In this role, Bonnie oversaw the U.S. Forest Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service on a variety of natural resource issues, including management of the 193 million acre National Forest and Grassland System, implementation of Farm Bill conservation programs on America's farms, ranches and forests, and climate change. From April 2009 to July 2013, Bonnie served as Senior Advisor to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack for environment and climate change. Prior to joining the USDA, Mr. Bonnie was Vice President for Land Conservation for the Environmental Defense Fund where he focused on developing incentives to reward farmers, ranchers and forest owners for stewardship activities on private lands. Mr. Bonnie has master degrees in forestry and environmental management from Duke University. He grew up on a farm in Kentucky and now lives in Virginia.
"The Rubenstein Fellowship has provided me with a tremendous opportunity to work with faculty and students at the Nicholas School, the Nicholas Institute and the Sanford School to explore challenges in environmental conservation in rural America and to develop new policy approaches that can work for both rural constituencies and the environment."
"One of the best parts of my Duke experience is that I've had the opportunity to work closely with people like Robert Bonnie, who are incredible leaders and experts in their fields … Robert has brought his substantial insider knowledge of environmental issues and politics in the US to our project, and has helped guide our team towards recommendations for carbon sequestration policies that might actually make a difference on a national scale."
"Working with Robert on issues at the intersection of agriculture and climate change has been one of the highlights of my time as a graduate student at Duke. Having access to his incredible wealth of knowledge and insight into the policy-making process has been invaluable both to our Bass Connection project and to my broader educational experience here at Duke."


The recent gains of Nigeria's local currency, the naira, against the US dollar may not be sustainable over a medium term due to a weak oil outlook and the continued co-existence of multiple tiers of exchange, which has created a somewhat fragmented market, according to analysts at Ecobank.
In its African forex market review and outlook seen by Businessamlive, Ecobank analysts say that though the naira has strengthen in recent times, gaining about 0.1 percent at the official market year-to-date, and an average of 2.63 percent week-on-week across all market segments, the multiple exchange rate platforms and a weak oil outlook may cast a pall on sustainability of the current gains.
"CBN monetary policy stance remains hawkish with focus on curbing NGN liquidity to reduce speculative USD demand and bolster fixed income yields in real terms to attract FPI [foreign portfolio investors] inflows. In terms of impact, the opening of an exit window for repatriation of investment proceeds with greater prospect of improved liquidity and less price rigidity raises prospect for FPI flows in the near term.
"However, the continued co-existence of multiple exchange rate tiers across a fairly wide range, alongside a weak oil price outlook, casts doubt over medium term sustainability," they noted.
recent announcement of a resumption of oil exports on the Forcados pipeline. However, a weak price outlook due to oversupply of oil at the international market may cast doubt on the continued intervention at the foreign exchange market by the CBN.
The naira has been trading in a fragmented official FX market, ranging from N315/320 to N368 to the dollar in recent weeks.
Specifically the local currency strengthened across all segments: inter-bank (+3%), the parallel market (+0.3%) and Investors and Exporters (IE) window (+0.2%) on improved foreign exchange flows, all thanks to the CBN establishment of a new trading window in April and continued funding of the market week in week out.
At the IE window, FX turnover climbed two percent to $368 million from last week, on improved investor sentiment on NGN assets.
"Though NGN gained 0.3% to NGN366: USD1 at the parallel market, the gain at the interbank drove an expansion in parallel premiums to 16.2% from 13.1% last week (albeit remaining down from 30% in March 2017),"the analyst said in a review of market activities last week.

If you've never read Dickens' 1859 novel of revolution and excessive gestures of love, then this is the
show for you. If you have read it, this might also be the show for you, depending on how well you
remember it.
Dickens left a lot out of his novel, particularly when it comes to Lucie, the central female
character. She was underwritten, all her psychological complexity left on the cutting room
floor. This show picks up those offcuts and sticks them together, possibly in the wrong order, to
rediscover the real story of this complex, troubled, funny 21st century woman.
From the creators of Paradise Lost (lies unopened beside me) and Juliet & Romeo, comes a re-staging

In contrast, Jeanine Durning's Last Shelter unfolds uniquely at each
performance. Teetering at the edge of what could be in an ever-shifting
environment, this choreography highlights the velocity and precision of each
dancer's decision-making from moment to moment, somewhere between
agency and collective will. After a year of working invisibly through a
pandemic, it is an act of intimacy to witness the labour and desire of the
dancer attending to themselves and one another, in their practice.
Distinct in form, these works share the vitality and virtuosity that promises an
unforgettable double bill from the company that continues to expand
perceptions of what dance can be.

Ask Goldman Sachs to Give it Back! RALLY AT THE TREASURY 6/7/2010! HUFFINGTON POST
WE WANT A REFUND!
Cenk UygurHost of The Young Turks
Posted: May 24, 2010 06:44 AM
Sometimes when you explain to people that some of the most complicated financial transactions in the country were just side bets, they don't really believe you. They think it's an oversimplification. We couldn't have wrecked the global economy because some people made side bets. These are sophisticated bankers with sophisticated financial instruments, so it must be more complicated than that. It isn't. They bet one another, whoever lost got paid by the American taxpayer.
To be fair, sometimes they had the money to pay off one another without government bailouts, but not often. That's because they were largely betting with money they never had. AIG is the perfect example. Their executives made hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses from the early wins in these bets, but then stuck the taxpayers with a $182 billion bill when they lost.
A credit default swap is when you bet that a certain asset is going to default. If you're wrong, then you have to pay a little bit. If you're right, you get paid a ton. So, AIG collected a lot of little winnings when they bet that mortgage backed securities would not go into default. But then when they did go into default, they lost big.
So, what does all of this have to do with us? Well, Hank Paulson, Tim Geithner and Ben Bernanke in their infinite wisdom decided that we should pay AIG's bets for them. Did they go back and take the money the AIG executives got for their earlier so-called winnings? No, of course not. Did they even inquire into whether these bets were on actual assets that the other parties were on the hook for? Apparently not.
Let me explain that more. If you bought a package of mortgage backed securities and wanted to insure it in case anything went wrong, that's a fairly normal derivative. That basically works as insurance for your security. So, if we paid off people who actually owned those securities, it still wouldn't be right in my opinion but it would be a lot more understandable. The argument would be that it would destabilize the economy too much if all of the people holding the mortgages all of sudden lost most of their value.
But what if they didn't hold the mortgages, they just bet on them? That's like the difference between bailing out the Dallas Cowboys to help the local Dallas economy versus bailing out bookies who bet too much on the last Cowboys game. The latter is what we did with AIG. We paid off people's bets for almost no reason.
I explain all of this because it's very important that you understand that when we paid $62 billion to AIG "counterparties," we weren't saving the economy, we were paying off the bookies. The money we gave them didn't go toward saving one house or one mortgage or even a package of mortgages or even investors who bought the packages of mortgages. It went to paying off people who made side bets on the mortgages (and even sometimes put down bets on a made up collection of mortgages that didn't even exist in the real world called "synthetic" collateralized debt obligations).
This is insanity. When you understand what really happened, you have one natural reaction – I want my money back. It's like we paid Donald Trump for a bet he made against Steve Wynn. Why did we do that? I don't give a damn if The Mirage or Caesar's Casino won. Why did you pay them with my money?
So, we're now starting a campaign to get our money back. I'd love to get the whole $62 billion paid out to the AIG counterparties (let alone the whole $182 billion we've sunk into AIG all together). But, we're going to start out nice and modest. We'd like to have Goldman Sachs pay us our $12.9 billion back that they got from AIG.
That's all taxpayer money. All of it went to Goldman for some silly bet they made with a buffoonish company that never had the money in the first place. As "sophisticated investors" they should have realized that AIG never really had the cash to pay them.
It's like making a million dollar bet with your deadbeat friend. Do you really expect to get paid when he doesn't have ten bucks to his name? How sophisticated can you be if you don't even realize that your counterparties are broke? So, sad day for you, you made a bet with the wrong guy. That's capitalism, baby. Go home, lick your wounds.
Except as we all know, that's not how it worked out. Instead the former CEO of Goldman Sachs, Hank Paulson decided to give them the money anyway, from the United States Treasury. Paulson had made $700 million dollars earlier when he made the same kind of deals as the head of Goldman before he became our Treasury Secretary. Not much bias there, right?
So, other than this enormous conflict of interest, why target just Goldman Sachs? Many reasons. They were one of the largest beneficiaries of this "backdoor bailout" from AIG. They were the ones who set up many of the securities in the first place. In fact, they sold $23 billion worth of this junk to AIG (they're lucky we're not asking for all of that back).They set them to blow and then bet against them. And they said they didn't need the money away. Great, then we'll take it back please.
Yes, they actually said they didn't need the taxpayers to pay them. They said many times on the record that they were "properly hedged" and that they could have gotten paid off by other companies and didn't need AIG to pay them. Fantastic! Out with it. We're going to be generous and not charge much interest, so we'll take a check for $13 billion made to the United States Treasury.
I'm not kidding. We are going to start applying pressure to both Goldman and the Treasury Department to return that money to its rightful owners, the American taxpayer. Of course, we need your help. We want everyone across the political spectrum to put pressure on the Treasury Department to ask for that money back and for Goldman to give it back.
I invite conservatives, libertarians and tea party activists to join us as well. Don't you want your money back? Weren't you angry about the bailouts? Don't you have a sense that the people in Washington and Wall Street are screwing you? Well, this is how they're doing it. Time to stand up and fight. Tell Goldman not to tread on you.
To show you how nonpartisan this is, the first protest will be aimed at one of the one guys most responsible for this atrocious decision – Tim Geithner. He is our Treasury Secretary and should be fighting for us and not for the bankers. He can fix his original mistake (he was at the New York Fed when they decided to give these backdoor bailouts at a hundred cents on the dollar when no one thought they were worth anywhere near that much) and get our money back from Goldman.
I have a question for the tea party participants, have you ever wondered why you've never protested the one guy in the Obama administration most responsible for the bailouts and the economy? That's the Treasury Secretary. And the reason you've never protested him is because the corporate front groups who organize your protests love Geithner and want to look out for him. Isn't it time you corrected your mistake, too?
Come join us. Let's do a real protest of the people who caused this mess in the first place. And let's get our damn money back.
Join us on Monday, June 7th at noon in front of the Treasury building to demand our $13 billion back from Goldman Sachs. First job is to get Geithner to recognize that he should have never given that particular money to that particular bank for that particular transaction. Or to come out and justify his actions. Let him step out, greet us and tell us why it was such a smart idea to pay off AIG's side bets with Goldman. I'll be looking forward to that.
And I'll be looking forward to seeing you at the protest, no matter what your politics are. You can RSVP by going to the Facebook page for this event. See you there.
Join the Protest Here
UPDATE: Progressive Change Campaign Committee has joined our effort now and we are doing a joint petition to get our money back. Please sign the petition here so your voice can be heard on this even if you can't make it out to the DC protest.
Everyone in the country should be able to agree to this. I was just on the Dylan Ratigan program on MSNBC and even the conservative on the panel agreed. Sign the petition and help get our money back.

Fed Ends Bank Exemption Aimed at Boosting Mortgage Liquidity: Bloomberg
By Craig Torres
March 20 (Bloomberg) — The Federal Reserve Board removed an exemption it had given to six banks at the start of the crisis in 2007 aimed at boosting liquidity in financing markets for securities backed by mortgage- and asset-backed securities.
The so-called 23-A exemptions, named after a section of the Federal Reserve Act that limits such trades to protect bank depositors, were granted days after the Fed cut the discount rate by half a percentage point on Aug. 17, 2007. Their removal, announced yesterday in Washington, is part of a broad wind-down of emergency liquidity backstops by the Fed as markets normalize.
The decision in 2007 underscores how Fed officials defined the mortgage-market disruptions that year as partly driven by liquidity constraints. In hindsight, some analysts say that diagnosis turned out to be wrong.
"It was a way to prevent further deleveraging of the financial system, but that happened anyway," said Dino Kos, managing director at Portales Partners LLC and former head of the New York Fed's open market operations. "The underlying problem was solvency. The Fed was slow to recognize that."
The Fed ended the exemptions in nearly identical letters to the Royal Bank of Scotland Plc, Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Deutsche Bank AG, and Barclays Bank Plc posted on its Web site.
Backstop Liquidity
The Fed's intent in 2007 was to provide backstop liquidity for financial markets through the discount window. In a chain of credit, investors would obtain collateralized loans from dealers, dealers would obtain collateralized loans from banks, and then banks could pledge collateral to the Fed's discount window for 30-day credit. In Citigroup's case, the exemption allowed such lending to its securities unit up to $25 billion.
"The goal was to stop the hemorrhaging of risk capital," said Lou Crandall, chief economist at Wrightson ICAP LLC in Jersey City, New Jersey. "Investors were being forced out of the securities market because they couldn't fund their positions, even in higher-quality assets in some cases."
Using mortgage bonds without government-backed guarantees as collateral for private-market financing began to get more difficult in August 2007 following the collapse of two Bear Stearns Cos. hedge funds.
As terms for loans secured by mortgage bonds got "massively" tighter, haircuts, or the excess in collateral above the amount borrowed, on AAA home-loan securities rose that month from as little as 3 percent to as much as 10 percent, according to a UBS AG report.
Lehman Collapse
By February 2008, haircuts climbed to 20 percent, investor Luminent Mortgage Capital Inc. said at the time. After Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. collapsed in September 2008, the loans almost disappeared.
"These activities were intended to allow the bank to extend credit to market participants in need of short-term liquidity to finance" holdings of mortgage loans and asset- backed securities, said the Fed board's letter dated yesterday to Kathleen Juhase, associate general counsel of JPMorgan. "In light of this normalization of the term for discount window loans, the Board has terminated the temporary section 23-A exemption."
The "normalization" refers to the Fed's reduction in the term of discount window loans to overnight credit starting two days ago from a month previously.
The Fed eventually loaned directly to securities firms and opened the discount window to primary dealers in March 2008. Borrowings under the Primary Dealer Credit Facility soared to $146.5 billion on Oct. 1, 2008, following the collapse of Lehman Brothers two weeks earlier. Borrowings fell to zero in May 2009. The Fed closed the facility last month, along with three other emergency liquidity backstops.
The Fed also raised the discount rate a quarter point in February to 0.75 percent, moving it closer to its normal spread over the federal funds rate of 1 percentage point.
The one interest rate the Fed hasn't changed since the depths of the crisis is the benchmark lending rate. Officials kept the target for overnight loans among banks in a range of zero to 0.25 percent on March 16, where it has stood since December 2008, while retaining a pledge to keep rates low "for an extended period."
Removing the 23-A exemptions shows the Fed wants to get "back to normal," said Laurence Meyer, a former Fed governor and vice chairman of Macroeconomic Advisers LLC in Washington. "Everything has gone back to normal except monetary policy."

HARVARD LAW AND ECONOMIC ISSUES IN SUBPRIME LITIGATION 2008
This in combination with A.K. Barnett-Hart's Thesis make's one hell of a Discovery.
LEGAL AND ECONOMIC ISSUES IN
SUBPRIME LITIGATION
Jennifer E. Bethel*
Allen Ferrell**
Gang Hu***
Discussion Paper No. 612
Harvard Law School Cambridge, MA 02138
This paper explores the economic and legal causes and consequences of recent difficulties in the subprime mortgage market. We provide basic descriptive statistics and institutional details on the mortgage origination process, mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). We examine a number of aspects of these markets, including the identity of MBS and CDO sponsors, CDO trustees, CDO liquidations, MBS insured and registered amounts, the evolution of MBS tranche structure over time, mortgage originations, underwriting quality of mortgage originations, and write-downs of investment banks. In light of this discussion, the paper then addresses questions as to how these difficulties might have not been foreseen, and some of the main legal issues that will play an important role in the extensive subprime litigation (summarized in the paper) that is underway, including the Rule 10b-5 class actions that have already been filed against the investment banks, pending ERISA litigation, the causes-of-action available to MBS and CDO purchasers, and litigation against the rating agencies. In the course of this discussion, the paper highlights three distinctions that will likely prove central in the resolution of this litigation: The distinction between reasonable ex ante expectations and the occurrence of ex post losses; the distinction between the transparency of the quality of the underlying assets being securitized and the transparency as to which market participants are exposed to subprime losses; and, finally, the distinction between what investors and market participants knew versus what individual entities in the structured finance process knew, particularly as to macroeconomic issues such as the state of the national housing market. ex ante expectations and the occurrence of ex post losses; the distinction between the transparency of the quality of the underlying assets being securitized and the transparency as to which market participants are exposed to subprime losses; and, finally, the distinction between what investors and market participants knew versus what individual entities in the structured finance process knew, particularly as to macroeconomic issues such as the state of the national housing market.

Michael Lewis's 'The Big Short'? Read the Harvard Thesis Instead! "The Story of the CDO Market Meltdown: An Empirical Analysis."
March 15, 2010, 4:59 PM ET
Michael Lewis's 'The Big Short'? Read the Harvard Thesis Instead!
By Peter Lattman
Deal Journal has yet to read "The Big Short," Michael Lewis's yarn on the financial crisis that hit stores today. We did, however, read his acknowledgments, where Lewis praises "A.K. Barnett-Hart, a Harvard undergraduate who had just written a thesis about the market for subprime mortgage-backed CDOs that remains more interesting than any single piece of Wall Street research on the subject."
A.K. Barnett-Hart
While unsure if we can stomach yet another book on the crisis, a killer thesis on the topic? Now that piqued our curiosity. We tracked down Barnett-Hart, a 24-year-old financial analyst at a large New York investment bank. She met us for coffee last week to discuss her thesis, "The Story of the CDO Market Meltdown: An Empirical Analysis." Handed in a year ago this week at the depths of the market collapse, the paper was awarded summa cum laude and won virtually every thesis honor, including the Harvard Hoopes Prize for outstanding scholarly work.
Last October, Barnett-Hart, already pulling all-nighters at the bank (we agreed to not name her employer), received a call from Lewis, who had heard about her thesis from a Harvard doctoral student. Lewis was blown away.
"It was a classic example of the innocent going to Wall Street and asking the right questions," said Mr. Lewis, who in his 20s wrote "Liar's Poker," considered a defining book on Wall Street culture. "Her thesis shows there were ways to discover things that everyone should have wanted to know. That it took a 22-year-old Harvard student to find them out is just outrageous."
Barnett-Hart says she wasn't the most obvious candidate to produce such scholarship. She grew up in Boulder, Colo., the daughter of a physics professor and full-time homemaker. A gifted violinist, Barnett-Hart deferred admission at Harvard to attend Juilliard, where she was accepted into a program studying the violin under Itzhak Perlman. After a year, she headed to Cambridge, Mass., for a broader education. There, with vague designs on being pre-Med, she randomly took "Ec 10," the legendary introductory economics course taught by Martin Feldstein.
"I thought maybe this would help me, like, learn to manage my money or something," said Barnett-Hart, digging into a granola parfait at Le Pain Quotidien. She enjoyed how the subject mixed current events with history, got an A (natch) and declared economics her concentration.
Barnett-Hart's interest in CDOs stemmed from a summer job at an investment bank in the summer of 2008 between junior and senior years. During a rotation on the mortgage securitization desk, she noticed everyone was in a complete panic. "These CDOs had contaminated everything," she said. "The stock market was collapsing and these securities were affecting the broader economy. At that moment I became obsessed and decided I wanted to write about the financial crisis."
Back at Harvard, against the backdrop of the financial system's near-total collapse, Barnett-Hart approached professors with an idea of writing a thesis about CDOs and their role in the crisis. "Everyone discouraged me because they said I'd never be able to find the data," she said. "I was urged to do something more narrow, more focused, more knowable. That made me more determined."
She emailed scores of Harvard alumni. One pointed her toward LehmanLive, a comprehensive database on CDOs. She received scores of other data leads. She began putting together charts and visuals, holding off on analysis until she began to see patterns–how Merrill Lynch and Citigroup were the top originators, how collateral became heavily concentrated in subprime mortgages and other CDOs, how the credit ratings procedures were flawed, etc.
"If you just randomly start regressing everything, you can end up doing an unlimited amount of regressions," she said, rolling her eyes. She says nearly all the work was in the research; once completed, she jammed out the paper in a couple of weeks.
"It's an incredibly impressive piece of work," said Jeremy Stein, a Harvard economics professor who included the thesis on a reading list for a course he's teaching this semester on the financial crisis. "She pulled together an enormous amount of information in a way that's both intelligent and accessible."
Barnett-Hart's thesis is highly critical of Wall Street and "their irresponsible underwriting practices." So how is it that she can work for the very institutions that helped create the notorious CDOs she wrote about?
"After writing my thesis, it became clear to me that the culture at these investment banks needed to change and that incentives needed to be realigned to reward more than just short-term profit seeking," she wrote in an email. "And how would Wall Street ever change, I thought, if the people that work there do not change? What these banks needed is for outsiders to come in with a fresh perspective, question the way business was done, and bring a new appreciation for the true purpose of an investment bank – providing necessary financial services, not creating unnecessary products to bolster their own profits."
Ah, the innocence of youth.

Hank Paulson's Memoir: The Inside Job
By Simon Johnson
If you've read, are reading, or plan to read Andrew Ross Sorkin's Too Big To Fail, you also need to pick up a copy of Hank Paulson's memoir, On The Brink. Sorkin has the bankers' story, in sordid yet compelling detail, of how they received the most generous bailout in the world financial history during fall 2008 – and set us up for great problems to come. Paulson tells us why, when, and how exactly he let them get away with this.
Hank Paulson does not, of course, intend to be candid. As I review in detail on The New Republic's The Book site this morning, On The Brink is actually a masterpiece of misdirection and disinformation.
But still, he gives it all away – and if any details remain obscure, check them in Sorkin. Paulson honestly believes that the financial sector as constructed is productive, makes sense, and should continue to operate in roughly its current form.
Whether or not Paulson really understands the functioning of big banks in the US today is an interesting question – for example he never mentions how they treated customers during the boom, and there is not one word about the need for greater consumer protection moving forward. On the other hand, perhaps this omission tells us that he understands the game all too well – and is keen for it to continue.
He certainly did his best to make that happen.

The Mets went on to upset the Baltimore Orioles after five games. Roger Clemens would become the first pitcher with a strikeout game in InRyan led the major leagues in both ERA 2.
That day, at forty-six, Ryan walked off the field giving baseball and its fans something that is rarely seen. With his injured arm, his final pitch was measured at 98 miles per hour.
Whether that was right or wrong, it was bothering me. No-hitters[ edit ] Ryan threw a record seven no-hitters during his major league career, three more than any other pitcher.
Because of this move, he was able to distance himself from the East and a climate and location he was never fond of. I've been cheered in ballparks all over the country. Striking out hitters, Ryan set an all-time major league record.
During the season, Ryan played as both a starting and relief pitcher, finishing the season with a 6—3 record. He was the youngest of six children of Lynn Nolan Ryan Sr.
Oliver's father Bob had also been a teammate of Ryan's, with the Angels from to Ryan, even with a world championship title to his credit, still felt uncomfortable in New York City, and requested to be traded in Following the game, Henderson was quoted as saying, "If he ain't struck you out, then you ain't nobody.

Inhe threw his fifth no-hitter. Once in California, Ryan blasted his way into superstar status. In the fifth and final game of the series, Ryan and the Astros held a 5—2 lead entering the 8th inning.
InRipken passed Hank Aaron as the player who had grounded into the most double plays in his career. His views on this only calmed once he started running the Rangers and gained a better understanding of the business side of baseball.
Ryan left trailing 5—0, and the fourth walk was completed by a reliever after Ryan's injury, but credited to Ryan. He was selected to the All-Star Game but sat out due to the injury, marking the first All-Star Game that he missed since his rookie season.
He was then taken to the Heart Hospital of Austin, where an angiogram an X ray of blood vessels showed a substantial blockage of the left main coronary artery.
Whether that was right or wrong, it was bothering me. He finished 2nd in the Cy Young balloting losing to Jim Palmer 88 to 62 in He was quickly picked up, this time by the Texas Rangers in time for the season. Ripken had a good night at the plate, recording three hits, the third of which was the milestone.
Unfortunately for the Mets, the season did not bring the great play expected. After feeling his right elbow pop with pain from a torn ligament in the middle of the Rangers game against the Seattle Mariners, Ryan knew his chances at the World Series were over.
Regardless, it was primarily Ryan's pitching abilities that took the New York Mets to the league championships that year and later the World Series. He also recorded a. Kinugasa was at the game to watch Ripken break his record. After experiencing shortness of breath and chest pains, his wife drove him to the Round Rock Medical Center, where doctors performed tests.
With the close of the season, Ryan became the first-ever pitcher to have back-to-back seasons of over strikeouts. It was his record-setting 10th grand slam given up of his career.

SCM Case Study Brekkie Breakfast
A novel Idea to tweak up your breakfast, a SCM Success story
" The idea of breakfast to is a tedious one for a mother, office goer or simply anyone who has the responsibility to do so, you have to be up and running first thing in morning, take care of the health and fitness, everyday, its tedious monotonous and simply boring sometimes unless making food is your absolute passion.; even if you have shared your workload with your friend/roomie (oh yeah, your spouse) , the routine gets to you, you end up with white flour bread or noodles, or get it from outside, and then fall back to the same routine. We simply have no options other than going for easy on pocket, non greasy, veggie, and kicks the tastebuds.."
so says the author of this piece.." I'm never up in time, for starters. Second, there aren't any pocket-friendly, non-greasy and palate-friendly options nearby. Finally, I've never had to step out in the morning for breakfast as a kid; it's always been there. I think I make a pretty good case for all the lazy lumps to hop, skip and jump straight to an early lunch, yes?"
Ashwin Chandrasekaran, Haripriya Raja and Nikhil Behl found a way to fix all three of these problems in one go; they came up with Brekkie, which serves a balanced, wholesome breakfast straight to your home or your office. It tastes pretty good, too! The 'breakfast-eers' also have their own customized vending cart parked at 9th 'A' Main on 100 ft Road in Indiranagar. Brekkie
Nikhil, Haripriya and Ashwin – Founders, Brekkie
"We realized that breakfast was a problem point on two fronts; first there was a lack of any good wholesome breakfast options and second, a lot of people think it's alright to skip that meal," points out Ashwin, who grew up in the Netherlands but decided to shift to India three years ago.
Each Brekkie bag consists of three elements: a main, a side and a treat. The main typically includes stuffed parathas, uthapams, poha, a sandwich, cheela, stuffed idlis, pancakes or rolls. The side element varies from a salad or custard to daliya or muesli. The treat includes either a few slices of cake or a few cookies. The breakfast menu is different every day. "People have identified with the fact that our menu changes daily," says Ashwin. "We aren't overly health-related. We're trying to promote the culture of eating a wholesome breakfast instead," he adds.
"I had had enough with the greasy food of the Sagars for breakfast," reveals Nikhil. "I had reached a boiling point to get some good food in the mornings, and a service like Brekkie was sorely needed." Nikhil spends his time balancing between Brekkie and a wealth management startup that he works for.
Brekkie
The Brekkie Vending Cart
The venture has been around for a little over two months now, and they've notched up a base of roughly 100 customers per day with more than half of that number being regular subscribers. "I think we're perceived as a healthy alternative and something to look forward to everyday," explains Ashwin.
The breakfast is delivered in personalized Brekkie bags in Indiranagar, Ulsoor and MG Road. "The idea of serving people with breakfast the moment they wake up so that they can eat in the comfort of their homes is what drives us," says Haripriya. She has over three years of experience working with ad agencies on strategy and branding.
"The vending cart is a great way to reach out directly to people who come and buy our stuff. We get to interact with people who may not even be our customers," reveals Haripriya. "We've got some pretty good ideas from the people who walk up to our cart. We also offer tea to everyone who walks up to us, be it cops, cleaners or morning walkers," she adds. All three founders take turns at managing the cart while the other two work at delivering the breakfast bags.
Their day begins at five in the morning when they start preparing for service. Their menus are planned a week in advance to help with sourcing and planning.
Most of their business is generated via their Facebook page and website, along with interactions on Whatsapp groups. The team has also invested in some exciting and thoughtful initiatives; they recently used bags made by the Spastics Society of Karnataka as Brekkie bags to raise awareness for the cause. They've also made special treats on Halloween and Thanksgiving to add some charm and a flavor of festivities to the whole experience. Here's looking forward to what they have in store on Christmas and New Year's!

Q: Mail() error when adding bbc I have a mailing script to send emails to specific users. I get the emails from a mysql database.
The email setup is working fine when sending the email to a single person. when just using to: and no bcc:
But when I insert the line with bbc: I get an error :
$headers .= "Bcc: ". implode(", ", $recipients) ."\r\n"; <-- Error happens here

i have tried both removing space in implode and checked all emails. They are all valid seperated by comma
Also i tried to insert: error_get_last() and the error returns no valuables. The array is empty. So i really cant see where the error should be.
My code is:
$con=mysqli_connect("","","","");
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}

$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT email FROM users WHERE receive_email = 1")
or die(mysqli_error());

/* Details for emails */
$name = "domain.com";
$email = "info@domain.com" ;
/* End of details */

$recipients = array();
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
    $recipients[] = $row["email"];
}

$to .= "info@domain.com";

$subject .= "Domain.com account notification";

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: " . $name . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ". $email . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: ". implode(", ", $recipients) ."\r\n"; <-- Error happens here
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();

$message .= '

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Domain.com</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>

';

$send_email = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

if(!$send_email) {
    echo "Error
";
    echo implode(', ', $recipients);
} else {
    echo "Success
";
    echo implode(', ', $recipients);
}

A: This is not a specific solution to your issue, but the PHP Mail function is really, REALLY poorly implemented and has various flaws and issues because 'emails' in general are as wide a topic as 'web pages', read some articles from sources such as mailchimp ( http://blog.mailchimp.com/background-images-and-css-in-html-email/ ) which touch on the subject of emails in general and specifically HTML emails, but as well as this there is a wealth of issues around the email headers which need to be PERFECTLY right to enable delivery.
It is a huge minefield and if I wasn't such a proud programmer I would often have opted for Mailchimp or similar.
But, there is a solution. Look up PHPMailer ( https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer ) and download and install this, I have found it to be 100% effective for my PHP code and delivers the email EVERY time, with clear error description and reporting.
I would qualify this by saying that sending any email - you need to specify a valid FROM server and FROM name/email address.
Good luck

Georgia school district delays transgender bathrooms after parents revolt
'This is nothing but a political stunt to gain attention!' said one parent, reportedly to thunderous applause.
Calvin Freiburger
Wed Oct 16, 2019 - 5:39 pm EDT Fri Jun 18, 2021 - 7:04 pm EDT
PICKENS COUNTY, October 16, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — The Pickens County School District in Georgia announced this week it will delay implementation of a plan to let gender-confused students use bathrooms meant for the opposite sex, following a massive turnout of angered parents before the school board.
Previously, Pickens County allowed "transgender" students to simply use single-occupancy restrooms. But following demands for full access to opposite-sex restrooms, the district announced Monday it would be following recent court rulings that "establish the right of a transgender student to use the restroom which the student identifies with," the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The news didn't sit well with area parents, hundreds of whom attended a board meeting that night to make their displeasure known.
"Most people won't say anything because they fear retaliation," said Nathan Barfield, who testified that his two children were uncomfortable with the new rules. "Accommodations have already been made for transgender students. This is nothing but a political stunt to gain attention!" His declaration reportedly received "thunderous" affirmation from the audience.
"Once you give into this, you'll open the floodgates," testified Lisa Ray, another parent.
Some LGBT former students also testified in support of the accommodation, with one claiming that "too many LGBTQ youth avoid using the bathroom at all at school, to the detriment of their health." These did not win over the many in attendance who felt that the school was disregarding the rights of non-trans students.
The school district insists that school staff "monitors all restrooms during class changes; we are asking the staff to be even more diligent in their duties to ensure that … safety concerns do not materialize." However, bowing to pressure, Superintendent Carlton Wilson said the district was delaying implementation of transgender bathrooms, pending further discussion by the board.
Conservatives argue that forcing children and teens to share intimate facilities with members of the opposite sex violates their privacy rights, subjects them to needless emotional stress, and gives potential male predators a viable pretext to enter female bathrooms or lockers.
In May, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a case challenging a Pennsylvania school district's transgender locker room policy. Last month, the Gloucester County School District in Virginia announced it would appeal a suit forcing it to implement transgender bathrooms to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The UN's World Oceans Day is June 8, and Canadian Rivers Day is June 12. It might seem odd to celebrate Oceans Day here in Ottawa – we're not exactly a coastal city – although we're rich in rivers. Of course, it's all the same water; the water in the ocean today might one day be in Ottawa's rivers, in the water we drink or the food we eat, or in us.
Perhaps to make the connections more explicit, the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) suggests celebrating Rivers to Oceans Week. CWF reminds us that as Canadians we're responsible for one-fifth of the world's fresh water as well as the world's longest coastline.
If you're motivated to express your ideas about what's special about your local body of water and why it's worth conserving, you can submit a one-minute video to CWF's Water's Worth It! video contest by June 20.
Spread the word about the importance of rivers and oceans.
