The Mule Lobby and How the Camels Won the West before the Golden Spike
chasingrockwell December 6, 2018 December 31, 2018
"The Last Spike" by Thomas Hill (1881)
Before that golden spike was driven establishing the Transcontinental Railroad in Promontory, Utah in 1869 there were some serious issues of traversing many parts of the dry and barren American Old West and Southwest that paved a path to camels in the Army and a mule lobby in Washington DC.
There were probably several stubborn old mules in Washington at the time and I'm not sure if it was the early beginning of the Democratic donkey.
Actually, Andrew Jackson's opponents called him a "jackass" during the 1828 presidential campaigning and where the donkey originated… an odd little fact.
Click on the image for details.
Ten years before the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad a small boomtown in the Utah Territory was established as Virginia City as it was home to the first substantial silver deposit in the United States. The silver deposit; the Comstock Lode and Virginia City were both internationally known and the mining district was recognized as the Queen of the Comstock with a population that grew to 25,000 residents in the height of its mining history. Virginia City was booming.
Virginia City, Nevada is an excellent place to spend anywhere from a few hours to a day or two and is an easy day trip from Lake Tahoe or Reno. Check out some highlights from our trip to Virginia City, NV.
Virginia City was named as one of the "top 12 most distinctive destinations in America," by The National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The growing population of the American Old West and Southwest along with military needs in the Southwestern territories, known in the times as the Great Desert, were in growing need of supplies without a method of transportation. The War Department was encouraged to purchase camels revered as the "beasts of burdens" to help shape a supply chain if Congress would appropriate monies for the acquisition of the animals. The idea suggested in some accounts came from a naval officer after an expedition made through Death Valley. The naval officer, "Ned" Beale came to national fame as being the person responsible for starting the gold rush after bringing back gold samples from California to the east coast in 1848… ten years prior to the discovery of the Comstock Lode.
The United States government funded the plan to use camels to move supplies through the dangerous and vast territories as an experiment and thus began the US Camel Corps. Apparently, a single camel could pack 600 pounds of supplies and Beale was known to say he'd rather have a single camel than a dozen mules.
Thirty-three camels of various origins were purchased by the US government and transported by the Navy on the USS Supply which was commissioned to acquire and bring the animals from the Mediterranean back to the United States.
Oh, give me a loan for the camels to roam… imagine if the mule lobby wasn't so successful as the wild frontier might still have camels today. Instead of visiting the Wild Burros of Custer State Park you would instead journey along Wildlife Loop Road hoping to see camels and bison!
Begging Burros of Custer State Park is a good read if you're considering a visit to South Dakota.
The US Camel Corps experiment was brought to an end in part due to the start of the Civil War but also due to the successful mule lobbying. Yet, the camels still had adventures ahead and people to terrorize.
One of the camels in its military retirement, meaning it was set free, did roam the southwest and earned the name, "Red Ghost". Marshal Trimble, author of Arizoniana describes the folk tales that came from the feral red-haired camel whom traumatized citizens of Arizona from stories ranging from "Red Ghost" standing over 30 feet tall, trampling people to death, having the eyes of the devil, eating grizzly bears and the "Red Ghost" could vanish into thin air when cornered.
Click image for more details.
Interestingly, camels can eat cactus; thorns and all and have been known to chew on bones so this red-haired beast probably started a few of the ghost tales honestly.
"Red Ghost" met his end in an Arizona tomato patch where a rancher shot him down. An article was published about "Red Ghost" and his reign of terror in the New York Sun; word traveled far for the times.

With the end to "Red Ghost" you may be curious why the red-haired camel was roaming Arizona and where all the other camels went following the start of the Civil War.
I was also curious why at the end of the boardwalk in Virginia City, Nevada a photo board was painted with a camel and banner for Virginia City camel races?
Why camel races? And, this blog is the answer to my question.
Virginia City, Nevada holds camel and ostrich racing each year. How the ostrich racing became involved is another story to research.
Click on the image for link.
Where did camels from the Camel Corps end up and what is the connection to Virginia City?
When the Confederate forces seized Camp Verde they set some of the camels free. Some of these camels were later caught and used by Union forces, some caught by Confederate Forces and used by the Confederate Post Office, another camel was the mascot of a Mississippi infantry before being shot down in the battle of Vicksburg, a favorite white-haired camel named Said can be found in Washington DC at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History Hall of Bones after having been killed along the supply route in 1861.
Other camels which were housed in California were ordered to be auctioned off by the War Department and were purchased by a frontier entrepreneur, Samuel McLaughlin, who shipped the camels to Virginia City, Nevada for use hauling mining supplies.
We now know why there were camels in Virginia City, Nevada but why camel races?
McLaughlin held camel races in Sacramento, California to large crowds in efforts to fund the animals transport to Nevada. Camel races became a profitable spectator sport and why Virginia City holds annual camel races to raise tourism dollars for the town.
For more information on the camel races check out a link to Virginia City Tourism Commissions website.
The rest of the Army's camels were sold to zoos and circuses and even naval officer Beale who purchased several of the camels to keep for his own personal expeditions with his family.
As the needs grew for supplies along the building of the Transcontinental Railroad many of the camels were collected and purchased to once again work hauling supplies; this time they worked and solved the need for a supply chain along the building route of the Transcontinental Railroad and this is how the camels in a ten-year journey won the West before the Golden Spike.

Montana : Big Sky Country
October 25, 2013 bkrislerbig sky, montana Leave a comment
November 1889 was a big month for the growing United States, with the addition of 4 states in just 10 days. We already covered two of those states, North Dakota and South Dakota. This week, we will cover Montana. Known for its mountain ranges, and famous parks, Montana is ranked 48th in population density, with only Wyoming and Alaska having fewer residents. But that low density ranking isn't reflected in the brewers currently operating in the state. In fact, Montana came in 3rd on 2012 for capita per brewery, with a total of 36 breweries operating in the state at that time.
The history of Montana brewing is long, going all the way back to the Gilbert Brewery in 1863 (a full 26 years before statehood) which still stands today. Gilbert Brewery produced beer for 57 years, until the onset of Prohibition forced the company to switch to brewing sodas and non-alcoholic beverages. Like many of the other breweries of its time, this product transition did not bode well, and by the time prohibition was repealed, the brewery was no longer savable.
In fact none of the early breweries successfully made it out the other side of Prohibition, as can been seen in the chart here. Of all the currently operating breweries, Bayern Brewing is the oldest. Opened in Missoula in 1987, Bayern is "Proud to be the only German Brewery in the Rocky Mountains."
Big Sky Brewery
We were not fortunate enough to get our hands on any beer from Bayern, but we did get beer from another Missoula craft brewer — Big Sky Brewing. Inspired by what Bayern was doing in Missoula, Big Sky felt there was room in Missoula for another brewer, and since their speciality was English ales, they knew there was no conflict with their neighbor.
The first beer from Montana that we opened was an IPA called Big Sky I.P.A. This IPA, with its caramel color and sweet smell didn't resemble a typical IPA, so we were not sure what to expect. The taste was surprising. The sweetness, that was apparent in the up front smell mixed perfect with the bitterness of the hops to help mellow out all of the flavors and make this an easy beer to drink. Overall, this was listed as a good IPA that we would all go back and have another.
After the Big Sky, we opened a brown ale called Moose Drool. Since early in the project we have developed a curiosity towards brown ales, so weird name and all, we were looking forward to trying this one out. In the glass, this beer had the smell of smoky, which quickly turned off a few of the tasters. However 2 others stuck with it, and the interesting characteristics of these elusive brown ales started to shine through. The malty taste, with the slight smoky after tones all made this a beer that was enjoyed by half of the party.
The final beer of the evening, Brush Tail, was Big Sky's take on a traditional farmhouse saison. In retrospect, this probably should have been the first beer opened for the evening, but, well, the order got messed up, and this is how it ended up. This beer, with its high level of carbonation, had a distinct fruity smell and a light colored head that made it look enjoyable. This beer was light and crisp, and the carbonation lent to a clean mouthfeel. Overall a great beer, enjoyed by all.
In the end, Montana did us right. We enjoyed all three brews, and would love to someday venture westward to take in some of these brews in their natural habitat.
Next up. Washington.
South Dakota : Great Faces. Great Places
October 17, 2013 bkrislercream ale, crow peak, ipa, south dakota Leave a comment
Did you know that North Dakota and South Dakota became states on the same day? Me either. It was the only time in U.S. history that two news states joined the Union on the same day: November 2, 1889. Both of these states came from the Dakota Territory which formed in 1861.
While the brewing industry was sparse in North Dakota, its souther sister state had a much different story. The first records of breweries operating in South Dakota appear 12 years prior to statehood, in the town of Deadwood. Quickly growing to a population of 5000 people, after the discovery of gold, Deadwood also attracted entrepreneurs looking to capitalize on the needs of the prospectors. With 23 saloons operating during the 1870s, there were multiple breweries satisfying their needs, such as Lead City, Black Hills and Central City to name just a few.
While South Dakota had a bustling pre-statehood brewing industry, one of the first laws passed in the new state was prohibition. This early attempt at prohibition lasted for 7 years, but it did little to stop the production and consumption of beer throughout the Black Hills. Because of this lack of enforcement, when the National Prohibition rolled around, the brewers expected the same level of enforcement. This was not the case however, and upon learning that they were about to get shutdown and had to dump their stock, one brewer took a proactive stance:
The manager, Schlichting, quickly alerted the area that drinks were "on the house." After giving away case after case of bottled beer, and allowing patrons to drink all they could, numerous kegs of beer still remained. So, they dumped the beer into Deadwood Creek. To this day, folks tell of the time the creek flowed with a foamy head. (source)
To commemorate the 40th state of the Union, we were able to try two different brews from Crow Peak Brewing in the city of Spearfish.
Crow Peak Brewing Co. Canyon Cream Ale and 11th Hour IPA
The first beer of the evening was a Canyon Cream Ale. This beer, which was very light in color, is listed on the brewers site as a light bodied ale, malty dominated with a slight sweet flavor. While I didn't get the sweetness, which comes from local honey, I did enjoy the light and creamy taste of this beer. There wasn't any one flavor that over powered this beer, making it something enjoyable and fun to drink. In fact, I just grabbed another one to keep me company as I write this post.
The second and final beer of the evening was also from Crow Peak. This beer was an IPA called the 11th Hour. This beer was quite hoppy, with a slight bitterness that remained for a bit after each sip. This beer too was well received for the evening.
In the end, we had a great time with these selections from South Dakota. And it was great learning a few things about the state along the way.
Short post this week, thanks for reading.
Next state is Montana.
North Dakota : Legendary
October 7, 2013 bkrisleripa, laughing sun, north dakota, pear, porter, strawberry, wheat Leave a comment
As we approach the end of the year (and the end of this project), the official statehood date for each of the remaining states drifts further away from the founding days of our country. As a result, the beer industry history for these states becomes sparse, with a more modern focus. As Prohibition approached, it became harder for each new state to make a mark in brewing history.
For the states that had a well established pre-Probition brewing industry, the ability to restart at the end of prohibition was an easier task. However, for those states that did not have an established brewing industry, there were few influences to help reverse the laws after the passing of the 21st amendment. For these states, the effects of Prohibition often lived on much longer than the law itself.
This week, we are celebrating the beer of North Dakota, a state that joined the Union in 1889. To put that into perspective, Adolphus Bush began brewing a light Bohemian lager called Budweiser 13 years earlier.
For North Dakota, the most noted early brewery in the state was the Dakota Malting and Brewing Company which operated from 1961 through 1965. At that point, the brewing industry in the country was transforming into a few large brewers.
When the Dakota Malting and Brewing Company closed up shop in 1965, no other brewer operated in the state until 2011. Issues such as distribution fees, production maximums, and residents (lack of) taste for craft beer were all major factors in this beer drought. However a few intrepid home brewers decided end this era and share their hobby with the public.
One of those home brewers was Mike Frohlich, the co-owner of Laughing Sun Brewery which we were very lucky to have the opportunity to experience some beer from this week. Also joining us this week were some other folks also on a quest for the 50 state experience.
Laughing Sun does not bottle their beer, so this week you are reprieved from bad photos of beer bottles.
The first beer we cracked into was called Sinister Pear. Earlier in the year, we had a Prickly Pear beer from Shiner, but a prickly pear is a cactus, not a tree fruit, so this would be the first pear beer of the project. And the first pear beer anyone of us ever tried. In the glass, this beer was light golden and cloudy. The flavor was nicely balanced, with a slight hint of fruitiness from the pear. I was expecting a more powerful fruit taste, and was pleasantly surprised with subtleness of fruit in this beer. While it wasn't a beer that you would sit around a fire and drink a six pack of (meaning it did not pass Dawne's Solo cup test), it was an interesting beer that was full of character.
Moving on from the Pear, we opened a Pale Ale called the 109. This beer was a golden honey color in the glass, a bit darker than I expected for a Pale Ale. It was also hoppier than a typical Pale Ale, which wasn't a problem, but it was different. I would describe this beer as a typical ale that has a slight bitter finish. I really enjoyed it, would have drank more if I had it.
Very strawberry forward and wheat at the end
Next we tried a Strawberry Wheat. In the glass, this beer was really pale, and it had a distinct strawberry nose. This beer had mixed reactions around the table. Everyone enjoyed it, but there were comments that it reminded some folks (including me) of a childhood cereal. In the end, we deduced it might have been from the combination of the strawberry flavor mixed with the wheat. Two common cereal ingredients.
After the Strawberry Wheat, we opened up a Sultan's Revenge. This beer, with its nice caramel color, was loaded with a piney hops smell. It was a very enjoyable beer that while super hoppy left no bitter after-taste. It was an all around favorite among the group.
And, we finished off the evening with a Porter called Black Shox Porter. This beer was all about the malt. It was the first thing you could smell in the glass, and it was right in front for the flavor. Presenting itself as a flavor mix of chocolate and coffee, this beer was mild but full of character and enjoyable flavors. There was no after-taste at all with this beer, making it rather pleasant to drink. More please.
Laughing Sun Brewery
In the end, we really enjoyed the beer from North Dakota, and are pulling for the craft beer industry in the state. Thanks for Eliane and Lee for joining us this week, we really enjoyed your company, and hope we furthered your quest for 50 states by a few more beers. Thanks to all the readers for tagging along again this week, and special thanks to the folks at Laughing Sun Brewery for making an enjoyable beer. We really enjoyed them.

Pluto by Joe Hertler & the Rainbow Seekers
Jake | Posted on August 18, 2020 |
Joe Hertler & The Rainbow Seekers is a band from Lansing, Michigan that formed in 2011. Members include Joe Hertler (Vocals, Guitar), Ryan Hoger (Guitar), Micah Bracket (Keys), Kevin Pritchard & Kim Vi (Bass), Aaron Stinson (Sax) and Rick Hale (Drums). Pluto is their third studio album release.
It's early in the year, but I expect Pluto will wind up on my year-end best list. It is a record you can listen to over and over again. Imagine the smooth soul rock of Kenny Loggins meets the indie folkness of The Decemberists, and you'll get a general idea of JH&TRS' sound. It's an enjoyable mix of funk, soul-rock, alternative rock and indie folk that is brimming with infectious melodies and rich instrumentation.
The songwriting on Pluto is brilliant. Every track on the record is a standout single. It's a shining, pleasant sounding release that is moving and wonderful. If you're looking for an album that will carry a lasting impact when you look back on the summer of 2017, then Pluto by Joe Hertler & the Rainbow Seekers should be at the top of your list. Some of my personal favorites include "Haunted House," "Show and Tell," "Disconnected," "American Color," "Lonely," and "Find Me." Highly recommended.

Biology Isn't Bigotry: Why Sex Matters in the Age of Gender Identity
COMMENTARY Gender
Feb 16th, 2017 4 min read
Ryan T. Anderson, Ph.D.

Former Senior Research Fellow
Ryan T. Anderson, Ph.D., researched and wrote about marriage, bioethics, religious liberty and political philosophy.
For many Americans, gender identity concerns are a new reality. Photo: iStock
As gender identity ordinances and bathroom battles sweep the nation, ordinary Americans have had to confront the question of whether their long-standing beliefs about the sexes are based on biology or bigotry.
While the debate has polarized many, it has also served to unite exceptionally unlikely allies. In something of an historical first, self-professed radical feminists and conservative women are tabling their ideological differences and standing in solidarity against gender identity legislation, which they have come to recognize as threatening the civil rights of women.
The Hands Across the Aisle Coalition is a bi-partisan group of women who have committed to working together and leveraging their collective resources and platforms to oppose aspects of the transgender movement.
The following is the transcript of my introduction at an event I hosted at the Heritage in which five of the coalition's leaders offer a perspective the mainstream media too often ignores on this very important issue. I also encourage you watch the entirety of the event posted in the video below.
"Thank you, John, and thank you everyone for joining us today for what promises to be an informative and enlightening conversation from voices the mainstream media has ignored. I'd also like to thank the Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute for co-sponsoring today's event.
For the past several years, all across America, parents, teachers and local school districts have been having conversations about how best to accommodate the dignity, privacy and safety concerns of students who identify as transgender while also addressing the dignity, privacy and safety concerns of other students.
Solutions were found, such as the creation of single-occupancy restrooms and changing facilities for students who identify as transgender while retaining girls' and boys' rooms for biological girls and boys. But activists attacked these commonsense compromise policies as "transphobic."
Then, last May, the Obama administration said that a 1972 law settles all of these issues: Students are to be treated the same based on their "gender identity," regardless of their biological sex. On May 13, 2016, the Obama Administration Departments of Justice and Education sent a "Dear Colleague" letter to our nation's schools informing them that going forward "both federal agencies [would] treat a student's gender identity as the student's sex for purposes of enforcing Title IX."
The result of this decree was that schools would have to allow students access to bathrooms, locker rooms, dorm rooms, and hotel rooms for overnight field trips based on the self-declared gender identity of the student.
But then on August 21, federal judge Reed O'Connor blocked the decree from going into effect in all 50 states. The judge ruled that the attempt by the Obama administration to redefine sex was unlawful, writing that "it cannot be disputed that the plain meaning of the term sex as used … following passage of Title IX meant the biological and anatomical differences between male and female students."
The Obama Department of Justice appealed this ruling in October. But just last Friday, the Trump Department of Justice withdrew that appeal and cancelled oral arguments that were to be heard this week.
Judge O'Connor got it right. The Obama administration was unlawfully rewriting federal law. The term "sex" is not ambiguous, and is not subject to executive branch agencies redefinitions to now mean "gender identity."
But in addition to being unlawful, the Obama administration's "Dear Colleague" letter is bad policy. That's the focus of today's panel.
Today we will hear from five women, from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, explaining why the Obama-era rules turn the purpose of Title IX on its head. How the rules turn a law meant to protect women and girls into a law that allows men who claim to be women the right to enter women-only spaces. How the Obama-era rules favor the concerns of students who identify as transgender while entirely ignoring the concerns of other students. Legitimate safety, privacy, and equality concerns exist, and the Obama administration ignored them. Today, we'll hear about those concerns.
Let me briefly introduce our panelists.
Miriam Ben-Shalom is an educator and activist who made history for being the first person to be reinstated to the military after being discharged from service for being openly lesbian.
Kaeley Triller Haver is a rape survivor whose personal experience inspired her political activism on women's privacy and safety. She serves as the Communications Director for the Just Want Privacy Campaign in Washington State.
Kami Mueller is the CEO of the Mueller Group, a communications firm. She played an integral role in the communications efforts defending the state's controversial privacy law (HB2).
Mary Lou Singleton is a midwife and a feminist who is an active member of the Women's Liberation Front (WOLF), the radical feminist organization that filed a lawsuit against the Obama Administration to restore Title IX rights to women and girls.
Emily Zinos is a stay at home mom who works with the Minnesota chapter of the "Ask Me First" campaign, a project sponsored by the Family Policy Alliance to defend the safety and privacy of women and children.
Unfortunately due to a family medical emergency Emily is unable to be with us in person today. Mariam will read the remarks that Emily had prepared for today's event.
Following the panelists' opening remarks, I'll open the forum to questions and answers.
Let me conclude by saying that up until last year's prime-time interview of Bruce Jenner (as he was then called), many Americans had never had a conversation about transgender issues. It's a conversation we need to have. But the Obama administration tried to shut down these discussions before they had even taken place. The Obama administration attempted to force a one-size-fits-all policy on the entire nation rather than allow parents and teachers and local schools the time, space, and flexibility to find nuanced solutions that respect everyone.
For many Americans, gender identity concerns are a new reality. Rather than follow the Obama administration's rush to impose a top-down solution on the entire country, we should encourage the American people to have these conversations, consider all of the relevant concerns, and make policies that will best serve all Americans. Today's event is at the service of fostering such conversations. Please join me in welcoming our panel."

Plants > "Trees for Beneath Power Lines"
Nice narrow variety of Amur Maple. Tightly branched with bright red samaras and large deep green leaves. Nice fall color.
A slow growing maple with an oval to rounded crown and open habit. Striking cinnamon-brown exfoliating bark. Soft green leaves change to scarlet in fall.
A small showy tree covered in stunning clusters of white flowers before it leafs out in the Spring. Rounded form this would make a excellent street tree.
This lovely tree, while uncommon here, has been used for decades in Europe. It is quite a small tree, so it is suited to fairly restricted sites or used under power lines. It forms into an upright tree with branches that are slightly pendulous at their tips. The double scarlet blooms appear in May. It fruits sparsely or not at all.
Deciduous, male cultivar with a distinct central leader and an upright, compact habit that widens with age. Foliage is more deeply lobed than the species, giving it a pretty, lacy look. Leaves are green throughout the season and turn rich yellow in the fall.
A dense, rounded tree with a spreading haibit. Bright yellow flowers in mid-summer are followed by interesting papery seed capsules. Compound foliage is green, then turns to a golden-orange color in the fall. Very adaptable to poor soils and adverse environments.
This cultivar is a single-stemmed, tree-form magnolia with ascending branches, the perfect shape for narrow planting sites. Large deciduous leaves , medium green above and light green beneath.
Evergreen, low-branching, pyramidal tree with large, narrow, glossy dark green leaves. Fragrant flowers are creamy white and appear in May to June, then sporadically thereafter. This is the current standard among the evergreen magnolias for northern gardens.
This is a great dwarf variety of the southern evergreen magnolia. Upright, dense habit has dark green, leathery foliage with a cinnamon brown fuzz on the underside. White, fragrant flowers cover the small tree in summer. This cultivar flowers at an early age.
Evergreen to semi-evergreen tree with an alluring appearance and upright growth habit. Green foliage is kept company by creamy white, pleasantly scented flowers. These will continue to bloom from spring and then sporadically throughout the summer. Seeds that come from the cone-like fruits after the flower has matured are attractive to birds.
Deciduous, dense rounded tree with deep purple foliage. Blooms in the early spring before leaf emergence with single pink flowers. This variety often does not set fruit.
This upright to vase-shaped and spreading flowering cherry has a profusion of deep pink, double flowers with a mid-spring bloom. Dark green foliage turns to orange-red fall color.
An oval to rounded tree with foliage that changes from bright green in the spring to deep purple in the summer and fall. The late April flowers are white, single and held in pendulous clusters.
Deciduous tree with an upright, pyramidal form. Glossy dark green foliage turns red-orange in the fall. Profuse white blooms arrive in the spring with the new leaves. Great for use as a street tree since it is tolerant of urban conditions. It also has few pests and tolerates clay soil. 'Chanticleer' is the same tree as 'Cleveland Select'.

In the case of Joyner v. St. Luke's Univ. Hosp., No. 2018-C-1033 (C.P. Leh. Co. Oct. 19, 2018 Johnson, J.), the court overruled a hospital's Preliminary Objections asserting that the Plaintiff's claims against the hospital for negligent hiring and supervision could not proceed in the absence of a Certificate of Merit. As such, the Plaintiff was permitted to proceed on the claims presented.
The court ruled in this fashion after finding that the Plaintiff's claim sounded in ordinary negligence and not professional negligence.
In this matter, the Plaintiff alleged that she was sexually assaulted by an employee of the hospital while the Plaintiff was a patient at the hospital. The Complaint asserted a claim against the hospital for negligent hiring, supervision, and training.
After the Complaint was filed, the hospital filed a Notice of Intention to Enter a Judgment of Non Pros on a professional liability claim because Plaintiff did not file a Certificate of Merit.
The Plaintiff responded with a Motion to Determine a Necessity of Filing a Certificate of Merit Pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1042.6. The hospital then filed a Preliminary Objection as to the sufficiency of the Plaintiff's claim against it.
As stated, the court found that the Complaint asserted an ordinary negligence claim for which a Certificate of Merit was not required. The court more specifically stated that the Plaintiff's claim against the hospital did not raise questions of medical judgment, allege substandard medical treatment, or allege that the hospital's actions fell below a professional or medical standard.
The court additionally found that a jury could determine whether the hospital allegedly breached its duty to properly hire, supervise, and train its employee without any need for expert opinion.
Accordingly, the court found that the Plaintiff could proceed in this claim without the necessity of filing a Certificate of Merit.

10 Interesting Facts About Arvind Kejriwal
Little Known, Unknown & Interesting Facts About Arvind Kejriwal
The name Arvind Kejriwal is on everybody's lips as he is the person responsible along with Anna Hazare for bringing in a huge revolution among common man and making them understand their rights. Corruption which has become a part of our daily life and we witness that in every aspect of our life.
Here presenting some of the interesting facts about Arvind Kejriwal, the man who tried to teach us our rights and how to fight for it –
#1: Personal life
Arvind Kejriwal was born on 16th August, 1968 in Hisar, Haryana. His father was an engineer so he had his schooling done in most of the small northern Indian towns like Mathura, Sonepat and Hisar. He is married to Sunita who is a former colleague in IRS. They stay in Ghaziabad with their two kids. He is a vegetarian by choice and has been practicing Vipassana for many years now.
#2: Education
He had his schooling done from Campus School and went on to get the degree of mechanical engineering from one of the best and topmost institute that is IIT Kharagpur.
#3: Start of career
After completing his education he joined the TATA Steels and worked there for a long time after which he appeared for the Civil Service Examination. After appearing in the exam and till the time the result was out he had some time in his hand so he went to Kolkata to work with Mother Teresa and then with Ramakrishna Mission and Nehru Yuva Kendra. He got selected in IRS through the civil service exam and from there he resigned as a Joint Commissioner in the Income Tax Department in 2006.
#4: Activist
Another unknown & interesting fact about Arvind Kejriwal is that he along with few other people was the founder of a movement of Parivartan (which means change) where he used to help people with their income tax problem and through this movement 800 cases were resolved effectively in 18 months. He soon realized that people are getting dependent on them to get their work done as the common man had no right so he brought in to light the Right to Information Act. With the help of this act the corrupted people can be pointed out but there was no law to convict them. This made him start his fight against corruption and get a new law so that the corrupted people can be punished.
#5: Lokpal Bill
Anna Hazare was at the lead of this movement but the brain behind this was of Arvind Kejriwal. The Lokpal bill was drafted by him along with Kiran Bedi and some other personalities. The movement gained momentum when Anna Hazare started his fast at Jantar Mantar. But no result came out, Indian government directly challenged team Anna to come to the parliament and pass Lokapal bill. This was the main reason why Arvind Kejriwal and many other team members made their party (Aam Aadmi Party). Anna Hazare refused to join the party as he thinks that politics is a dirty pond full of dirty people.
Fight against corruption was his motto and to get things done he also had to go for fast for 12 days. Though the bill was passed in the Lok Sabha but it got rejected in the Rajya Sabha so they again sat for fast which continued for more than 10 days. He was requested to form a political party by eminent personalities of the country and after several discussions to support the Lokpal bill he formed a political party which is called the Aam Admi Party.

#6: Awards
He has received the CNN-IBN, Indian of the year; Distinguish Alumnus Award from IIT Kharagpur for his leadership quality; NDTV Indian of the Year along with Anna Hazare and IIM Gold Medal. The most prominent award is that of Ramon Magsaysay award for his emerging leadership qualities.
#7: Aam Aadmi Party
His party will have no high command and the ideology of his party is Swaraj. In his party women and youth will play an important role.
#8: Use of technology
He had taken to twitter to make the people aware of the works that they are doing and what ideology they believed in.
#9: Use of prize money
He donated the prize money that he received from the Ramon Magsaysay award to a NGO.
#10: Against "Laal batti ki gaadiyaan" and government accommodation, security and other facilities to MP's
He is strictly against the system where the MP is given so many facilities like too much security, large accommodation, lal batti or red beacons which block so much traffic, sometimes even ambulance! He also said that his party member will never use any facility if elected.
Arvind Kejriwal arrested by Delhi police for protesting
Although Anna is a very good socialist but I'm strictly against the thinking of Anna Hazare, because we are the ones who can clean this system by entering into politics or by supporting a well educated and honest person like Arvind Kejriwal. If anyone sits at home or in college and says "Yaar India ka kuch nahi ho sakta, sab neta chor hain", then he/she is absolutely wrong… India will change because we have people like Arvind Kejriwal who has the true spirit to change the current scenario of CORRUPT INDIA!
And why don't you do something rather than blaming others! Change the politicians, support good people, come out and Vote!
I've a question for all the readers… kindly comment your answers below in the comments section.
(i) What Team Anna/Indians got from doing Anshan so many times?
(ii) Will BJP/Congress ever pass Jan Lokapal bill? Why would a corrupt politician, sitting in parliament will vote for Lokpal bill which will through that politician into jail?
(iii) Do you think Arvind Kewjriwal choose the wrong way to fight against corruption? If yes, which other path he should have chosen?
– kindly share this article on facebook, twitter etc to spread awareness among Arvind Kejriwal haters. Thank you.

Confidence Vs Arrogance
Both , Sheila Dikshit ( Congress ) and Vijay Goel ( BJP ) , are loudly proclaiming that their party will win the forthcoming Delhi Assembly Elections , with a thumping majority
Even Arvind Kejriwal ( Aam Aadmi Party ) is saying the same
That is understandable , considering that the Commanders must enthuse their cadres
Such confidence on their part is a pre-requisite for winning
But what happens when Sheila Dikshit says ,
" Aam Aadmi Party ? Who are they ? Nobody !
They don't scare us . They are insignificant .
What is their agenda ? What is their record ?
People of Delhi will ignore them ! "
Now , that is bravado
People of Delhi !
For over a decade , you have suffered this insult
4th December is your time to teach a lesson to the arrogant rulers of Delhi
By voting / electing , at least 40 AAP candidates
Only you can give yourself a break !

kejriwal thinking is wrong
Do you think passing Jan Lokpal bill, RTI, Right to Recall is wrong? Do you think allowing CBI to work independently is wrong? Do you think throwing out criminal politicians out of parliament is wrong?
I request you to think wisely on Arvind Kejriwal

Being a Mechanical engineer myself , am proud of Arvind Kejriwal. I am just waiting for the time AAP to come to Chennai and Tamilnadu where the politics is as rotten as elsewhere in the country. I am sure many are waiting to join the AAP movement to bring India out of the present mess.
Hi Jayaraj,
Many people are waiting for AAP in their state/area… the revolution in Indian politics has just begun !!
Hi admin,
I would like to mention about RTI act , if Arvind was not there I doubt RTI act would not be have been passed, I doubt CWG, 2G, coal and any scam could not be unearthed

कौन है यह केजरीवाल? कोई
कहता है
अमेरिका एजेंट है, कोई
कहता है काँग्रेस का एजेंट, कोई
कि ये RSS एजेंट है,।
कभी उपवास करता है,
कभी कहीं बिजली कनेक्शन जोड़ने
पहुच जाता है। मैं बताता हूँ कौन है
केजरीवाल। यह
मेरी या तुम्हारी तरह ही का आम
इंसान है, बस अंतर यह है
कि इस व्यक्ति में'रीढ़ की हड्डी'
मौजूद है। यह हमारी तरह
सिस्टम को दोष देकर घर में नहीं बैठ
गया,
बल्कि सीधा खड़ा हो गया, तनकर,
यह
सोच कर, कि अगर
सिस्टम खराब है तो बदल
देना चाहिये
इसे। यह, वह
आदमी है, जिसने अपनी IRS
की नौकरी इसलिए छोड़ दी,
कि कुछ करना है। IRS
की नौकरी मे
चाहता,
तो इतना पैसा खींचता,
कि अगली सत्तर
पीढ़ियां किसी अच्छे
सिस्टम वाले देश में बैठ कर खातीं।
पर
नहीं, क्यों? इसलिये
कि देश के लिये कुछ करना है। यह, वह
आदमी है, जिसके पास
न वोट खरीदने के लिए पैसा है,
ना भीड़
जुटाने केलिए, फिर
भी दम भरता है कि देश
की राजनीति को बदल कर रख
देगा।
है किसी की दम जो इसके
इरादों को हिला दे?
मीडिया मेरी बात नहीं कहता,
बात नहीं, और
ज्यादा जोर से चिल्लाऊँगा,
लेकिन
चुप नहीं बैठूंगा, हार
नहीं मानूँगा। यह, वह आदमी है,
जो आज
के समय में भी,
जबकि नैतिक मूल्यों और
ईमानदारी की बात करने वाले
को बेवकूफ समझा जाता है,
उन्हीं मूल्यों में विश्वास करता है,
और मूल्यों की दम पर
ही क्रांति लाने
की बात करता है। यह,
वह व्यक्ति है दोस्तों,
जो हिन्दुस्तान
की आखिरी उम्मीद है,
अगर हमने आज इसे बेइमानों के
हाथों हारने दिया,
तो कभी कोई
क्रांति नहीं हो सकेगी इस देश में।
मैनें
तो सोच
लिय़ा है, कि जहाँ तक मेरा बस
चलेगा,
इस क्रांति की मशाल
को बुझने नहीं दूंगा । आपने
क्या सोचा है! जय हिंद.!!!!
जहाँ आसमां को जिद है
बिजलियाँ गिराने की, हमे
भी जिद है
वहीं आशियाँ बनाने की,
आँधियों से
कोई कह दो ओकात में रहे,
एक तिनके ने की है हिम्मत सर उठाने

Health Minister Ann Keen has been confirmed as the new ministerial lead for the NHS Constitution, the Department of Health has announced. She will oversee the development of the Constitution which will empower both patients and staff by clearly setting out their rights and responsibilities in one place for the first time.
The draft Constitution was published on 30 June and is a key part of Lord Darzi's review of the NHS. Over the summer every NHS authority has consulted with local people to gather their feedback. The consultation closes today (Friday 17th October) and responses will now be reviewed to develop a final Constitution.
"I look forward to leading the process of creating a Constitution which will safeguard the future of the NHS. Our focus over the next few weeks will be to make sure all the feedback we have gathered through consultation over the summer is used to produce a Constittution which reflects the needs of a modern NHS and patients."
Feedback on the draft NHS Constitution has also been gathered centrally by the Department of Health led by a Constitutional Advisory Forum (CAF). The CAF will incorporate consultation responses into a report to be presented to the Secretary of State for Health. An official response to the Consultation will be published following this report.

8 Common Questions about Evidence-based Whole-School Reform
Q: What Does Evidence-Based Mean?
A: "A widely used adjective in education, evidence-based refers to any concept or strategy that is derived from or informed by objective evidence—most commonly, educational research or metrics of school, teacher, and student performance. Among the most common applications are evidence-based decisions, evidence-based school improvement, and evidence-based instruction. The related modifiers data-based, research-based, and scientifically based are also widely used when the evidence in question consists largely or entirely of data, academic research, or scientific findings." From The Glossary of Education Reform
Q: What is whole school reform?
A: Whole school reform is a comprehensive, coordinated, integrated method of improving school and district academic performance, especially the achievement levels of traditionally underperforming students. It incorporates every aspect of the school: culture, curriculum, instruction, assessment, social/emotional support, professional development, operations, and family/community engagement. A foundational belief of the whole school approach is that piecemeal efforts are less effective and almost never deliver sustainable results. They rarely address the root causes of ongoing barriers to educational equity and excellence, and the issues caused by them continue to reappear and undermine program-based, isolated initiatives. The power of the whole school reform model is the synergy created among the strategies when they work together. It is synergistic action school wide that creates the possibility for transformative, sustainable change.
Q: Is there a specific whole school reform model
A: No. Whole school reform is an evidence-based approach based on the most rigorous research on effective teaching, learning and assessment, school culture, stakeholder engagement, leadership, and management. While these models have core principles and strategies, the implementation of these principles and strategies is designed to meet the needs, resources, and structures of individual schools. It is not a prescriptive model, but a capacity building process that meets schools where they are and helps them reach clearly established goals.
Q: Is Whole School Reform an experimental approach?
A: No. Whole or Comprehensive School Reform (CSR) emerged in the early 1990s. It was incorporated into the 1994 reauthorization of the federal Elementary and Secondary Act (ESEA). Over the years, studies have shown schools that implemented whole school reform models for five or more years showed considerable achievement gains. CSR was also found to be equally effective between high-and low-poverty schools.
Q: Does data support that ISA's whole school reform model is successful?
A: Our data provide concrete evidence that a comprehensive whole school reform model can achieve and sustain impressive results. For example:
ISA students are 5 times more likely to be promoted to 10th and 11th grades than their peers in similar schools and 3 times more likely to be promoted to 12th grade.
ISA's predominantly African American and Latino student population has a 4-year cohort graduation rate of nearly 80%. This dramatically exceeds the national high school graduation rate of 60% for African American students and 58% for Latino students.
81% of ISA students graduate or are still enrolled after 4 years in college.
A sub-group study by IMPAQ International found that African American male students outperformed matched comparison students on significant high school outcome measures, including promotion, on track to graduation, and graduation.
Q: Why is the ISA Model the only high school whole school reform model listed in the US Department of Education's What Works Clearinghouse/
A: The USDOE established a set of criteria for what constitutes an evidence-based, whole-school reform model. First, a whole-school reform model must have demonstrated evidence of effectiveness for improving student outcomes that meets the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) rigorous evidence standards. Second, the model must be designed to improve student academic achievement or attainment; be implemented for all students in a school; and address, at a minimum, school leadership, teaching and learning in at least one content area; student non-academic support; and family and community engagement.
ISA demonstrated to the USDOE and WWC how:
the ISA college-preparatory instructional program, the grade level multi-disciplinary faculty team structure and an extended day and school year support school improvement and student academic achievement and attainment;
ISA job-embedded leadership coaching and the ISA Leadership Network build school leadership skills for implementing the organizational and instructional changes necessary for whole school reform;
ISA's Mathematics Program, job-embedded individual and team teacher coaching, and professional development Institutes support schools in improving teaching and learning in mathematics and literacy across content areas;
ISA's Distributed Counseling™, job-embedded counselor coaching and the Counselor Network support schools to provide students with the non-academic supports necessary for school success;
ISA school/leadership coaching supports schools to implement effective strategies for fostering and sustaining family engagement in the education of their children;
evidence from independent evaluations of the ISA whole school reform approach, which show
ISA was one of only three organizations that design and implement their own school-based reform approach whose whole-school reform models were found to have met the USDOE's program requirements and WWC's evidence standards. ISA was the only proprietary, high school whole school reform model selected by the USDOE.
Q: Can you describe one of ISA's primary implementation strategies?
A: Coaching is the cornerstone of the ISA approach and is concentrated in four areas: leadership development and strategic planning and implementation; content area coaching for individual teachers and teacher teams in literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies; grade level and content area coaching for teacher teams on using evidence-based protocols to improve classroom instructional practices and student work products; and coaching for counselors and teacher advisors to strengthen college counseling for students and families and provide social/emotional support to students when necessary. Coaching is also provided in ESL and Special Education.
Q: Is the ISA model another "silver bullet" that will not result in meaningful, sustainable change?
A: No, it really isn't. The ISA evidence-based approach is not just a superficial restructuring of time, space and materials. ISA fully supports our partner districts and schools to completely re-culture their schools and build the entire staff's capacity to increase and sustain student academic performance. This re-culturing includes addressing beliefs, expectations, values, school and classroom practices and processes, professional development, personalization and relationship building, leadership at every level, and continuous improvement. The ISA approach is based on seven research-based principles and five key strategies that are adapted and tailored to the school context. Our model is not guesswork. There are decades of solid research evidence and more than two decades of our own experience on the ground working with districts and schools to validate that the ISA whole school reform model works, especially with students who typically underperform on state, national, and international measures.

6 tips for building a strong support network from unlikely sources
By Alisa Liddle
In business, building a network within your professional "community" is a given. This means creating trusting, reliable connections so you can support, guide, mentor and teach each others. Having spent 20 years in various IT consulting and product management roles, I've felt its importance first-hand.
Yet, the biggest lessons I've learned about the power of a strong network come from a different angle of my life. These lessons have enabled my family—and my career—to thrive during my spouse's military deployments. In a nutshell, they've supported both my personal and professional life.
My husband is in the United States Navy Reserve, and we have three daughters. Unlike families of most active U.S. military members who typically live on or near bases with dedicated support services, we lead a largely civilian life in the Chicago area. That is, until my husband gets called for active duty. Since our marriage, he's had three major deployments, and the longest saw him away for about one and a half years.
At the time of his first deployment, we'd lived in our community for just a short time. I soon found myself juggling work and our daughters' schedules, while trying to find suitable after-school care. It was impossible to manage it all, a new experience for me. Usually, I take care of everything; it may not be perfect, but I was always self-sufficient. I understood quickly that this was an unprecedented situation and that I'd need to find local sources of support to capably manage work and family.
During this first deployment, I recognized my limits and the importance of having a strong circle. Building "my community" took time and creativity, but here are my key take-aways.
1. Cast a wide net
You can draw support from many facets, so think broadly. Over time, I've expanded my network beyond my immediate family to include neighbors, teachers, families of my daughters' friends and school mates, work colleagues, even our local police officer. When my husband is deployed, these important partners play a vital role in our daily routine—transportation, fresh meals and peace of mind, while my husband is thousands of miles away.
2. Look for insight where you don't expect it
While there were no military spouses nearby, I discovered through school and my daughters that I had a lot in common with many single parents in my community. I don't think of myself as a single parent, but these interactions provided tremendous insight into managing the demands of daily life.
3. Find someone to go to bat for you
I got to know a neighbor several blocks away who came from a military family. She was eager to assist, including providing a kind ear and after-school transportation. She became an invaluable resource and friend.
4. Be part of someone else's support network
Our family of five has much to offer others and help them succeed in meaningful ways. Whether delivering frozen meals to neighbors, helping with resumes and computers skills or sending letters and care packages to our troops. Our girls have taken a special interest in one family, baking and delivering treats at the holidays. It's a privilege to be a family that serves our country, and it provides a strong impetus to serve our local community too.
5. Educate others
My husband and I have spent time in our daughters' classrooms, introducing students and teachers to the role and lifestyle of our military and their families. I've also been willing to talk at the office about the challenges of managing family life while my husband is deployed.
6. Network in a way that makes sense
Everyone's needs, situation and personal style are different, and there is no formula for building a personal network. Try to find specific events that are comfortable for you to attend. For me, it started with chatting informally with other parents at activities like soccer practice. Eventually, we opened our home to other neighbors.
I've learned that having a strong community support network is critical to your personal and your professional well-being. My husband's deployment drove me to build a personal support network in addition to my professional one. At times, I've needed help, guidance or an extra pair of hands—one cannot always do it alone. Now, I focus on both getting and giving support to others.

My interest in the department of medical education
HOSSEIN RONAGHI
University of California, San Diago, USA
My interest in the department of medical education started in the year 1955 when about 900 high school graduates in Shiraz, participated in the "Konkoor", an Iranian University entrance exam. Of these 900 graduates, 42 passed and gained admissions into Shiraz University Medical School and six years later, 32 graduated and received a medical degree from Shiraz University Medical School. I was one of them. The medical school curriculum was based on an American Medical School Curriculum. The courses and textbooks were all in English, taught by visiting American professors in various medical specialties. The natural trend for such trained Iranian medical graduates was to participate in the ECFMG qualifying exam, an assessment of their readiness to enter further graduate training in the U.S. Of the 32 graduates, 24 passed the ECFMG and started their 5 year (1961-1965) specialty training in U.S. hospitals. As one of the graduates of the Class of 1961, I was in close contact with my medical school classmates and followed their moves and professional activities with interest. In 1969, eight years following graduation, 17 of the 32 graduates were residing and working in the United States, while the remaining 15 had stayed in Iran. In 1971, during my sabbatical leave, at Johns Hopkins University, we engaged in the study of medical schools graduates in Iran. We were astonished to find 1625 Iranian medical graduates had permanently immigrated to and were working in the United States. The reasons for this large-scale immigration were multifold. As the medical school curriculum in Iran was modeled on those in the Western countries, it was natural that the Iranian medical graduates gravitated to these countries. The graduates that remained in Iran were sometimes faced with a 2 year mandatory military service. They were confronted with rural settings, which were a far cry from their medical training, having to treat patients with minimal equipment and medication. This lack of opportunity was partially responsible in their ploy to emigrate to the West. The establishment of the department of medical education along with the department of community medicine at Shiraz University provided an ideal opportunity to modify the medical school curriculum and the methods of instruction, and to tailor these to the needs of the Iranian population. The success and reputation of both these departments had a significant role in modifying not only the curriculum in Shiraz, but also those of medical schools in the entire Eastern Mediterranean region. It is indeed very pleasant news to find the present publication where medical schools in the region and further afield can share their ideas about the successes and pitfalls of medical education

Jack Hanley Gallery is pleased to present Janet Cooling: 1978-1982, its first exhibition with Janet Cooling and the first exhibition of her early work since it was originally shown.
Janet Cooling's paintings made between 1978 and 1982 were painted a decade after Stonewall, in the first years of the AIDS crisis, and during the last major nuclear scares of the Cold War. In the drawings and paintings from this period, Cooling constructs apocalyptic narratives in which sibylline symbols stand in for deeply personal memories and desires amplified to cosmological scale and importance. Suburban tract houses and nuclear plants remembered from Cooling's childhood in South Orange, New Jersey intermingle with big-haired fashion models and roaming wildlife appropriated from magazines. Elsewhere, women couple erotically in sublime landscapes while other figures are engulfed by burning skyscrapers, fields of lightning, hovering planets, and writhing snakes. Replete with fractured and illogically scaled motifs, the feverish drawings and paintings from this period are acridly pigmented landscapes of disaster and desire.
Cooling made this body of work during a transition from Chicago to New York. In 1978, she had recently graduated from the School of the Art Institute and was showing alongside a group of painters dubbed the Post-Imagists, but in Manhattan she would enter a milieu of other queer artists making work explicitly about their sexualities. By 1982, her shaped works were included in the New Museum's landmark show Extended Sensibilities—the first institutional exhibition to consider gay themes in contemporary art. Cooling's work from this period is best contextualized alongside other queer figurative painting of the 1970s and 1980s that was built on personal iconography and a disregard for the rules of good painting, including Roger Brown's ominous skyscrapers, Martin Wong's apocalyptic cityscapes, and especially David Wojnarowicz's brightly colored and dystopic large-scale paintings from the 1980s. Also like Wojnarowicz, Cooling had a deeply romantic sensibility of the artwork as an expression of personal feeling at a moment when such a disposition was distinctly at odds with institutionalized conceptual and postmodernist narratives of artmaking. The period's deep skepticism of painting wasn't abated by the medium's grossly macho and profitable revival in neo-expressionism (in 1986, Hal Foster asked, is it possible to "seriously engage issues of a technoscientific, postindustrial society in a medium, like painting, based in preindustrial craft?").
In spite of such widespread cynicism, Cooling's work had a major advocate in New Museum founder Marcia Tucker, who included her work in the controversial all-painting US pavilion at the 1984 Venice Biennale. Tucker's Venice exhibition built on her well known "Bad Painting" show from 1978, in which she brought together work with irreverent content and a disregard for "standards of good taste" under an ironic moniker. Cooling's work from the late 1970s and early 1980s certainly fits the bill. The large-scale paintings eschew canvas in favor of shaped gator board, a rigid poly board used in model-making that gives the works a chunky dimensionality. Additionally, they are all painted on black backgrounds, an aesthetic equal parts Caravaggio and stoner art. Cooling applies her rainbow-hued acrylic paints in a series of glazes, spurning the art school rule to avoid using every color on the spectrum in a single composition. Cooling also calls traditional skill into question by purposefully playing with inconsistency and variation in her paint application. While some figures are highly detailed, others are brushed in, resulting in compositions that forgo a coherent and orderly painted surface.
While Cooling's compositions indicate a deep uncertainty about the present, they also evince a vested interest in future-making. Far from any notion of reproductive futurity, Cooling's wilderness-ensconced couples inhabit multispecies refuges built on mutual recognition. Her paintings made on the eve of the 1980s remain prescient examples of the expansive possibilities for bridging supposedly irreconcilable modes of making. Cooling employs a fauvist palette with a feminist agenda and makes expressionistic paintings with a conceptual and political edge.
Janet Cooling (b.1951, Chester, PA) received her BFA from Pratt Institute in 1973 and MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1975. Feminist art historian Arlene Raven offered Cooling her first solo show, which took place in 1976 at the Women's Building in Los Angeles. In 1981, she was in in William Olander's "Young Americans" show with Cindy Sherman and David Salle, among others. The following year, she was part of the New Museum's "Extended Sensibilities" exhibition, curated by Dan Cameron, the first museum show to address gay themes in contemporary art. In 1984, her work was included in the US Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, curated by Marcia Tucker. Throughout the 1970s and 80s, Cooling had three solo shows at Nancy Lurie Gallery in Chicago and a solo show at Feature Inc., among others. She taught at San Diego State University from 1984 to 2013 and continued to show nationally and internationally. Cooling's work is in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the New Museum, New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; the Allan Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin; the Laguna Art Museum, Laguna Beach; and the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art, New York, among others. Cooling lives and works in Richmond, VA.

Nintendo offers free Wii play online
In a new interview, the head of Nintendo of America reveals a few new details …
Jeremy Reimer - Aug 15, 2006 10:45 pm UTC
Nintendo of America's ebullient president, Reginald Fils-Aime, released some interesting information about the upcoming Wii game console in an <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/tech/gaming/2006-08-14-nintendo-qa_x.htminterview with USA Today. Among other tidbits, he revealed that the console's online strategy will not require any service charges, other than the player's standard Internet connection fees.
"We will offer online-enabled games that the consumers will not have to pay a subscription fee for," he said. "They'll be able to enjoy that right out of the box." Fils-Aime also mentioned that the Wii will be WiFi enabled, so it will be able to join existing wireless networks without any extra cabling.
The online model for the Wii will be similar to the model for the Nintendo DS, which also contains WiFi support and free gameplay online. Nintendo will provide the servers for their own games, and presumably third party developers offering online support in their games will set up their own servers. This is in contrast to the model pioneered by Microsoft with the original Xbox, where a monthly fee is charged for access to the servers in exchange for matchmaking services, exclusive online content, and other features. It is not known if Nintendo will be offering any of these features with their online service.
Fils-Aime talked about other issues besides simply online play. He said that the visuals for the Wii would "look fantastic" but argued that better graphics alone would not bring in new and casual gamers to the market. Nintendo's plan is to expand the industry, and their goal is to "have as many teens and young adults as we have 40-plus-year-olds excited about the platform." Nintendo plans to achieve this goal through "massive amounts of hands-on activity," as well as advocacy about how Wii games are different from traditional games through the use of the console's unique motion-sensitive controller.
When asked about Microsoft's famous comment about consumers being able to purchase an Xbox 360 and a Wii for the price of a PlayStation 3, he played down the idea. "I'd much rather have the consumer buy a Wii, some accessories, and a ton of games, versus buying any of my competitor's products," he said.

Q: Using Html.BeginForm to post to the current controller I have a partial that is used in several views.
The partial contains forms. The action when a form is submited is allways the same, but the controller thats contains the action depends on the view.
Lets say I have  Controllers that each have an action ActOnChoosenPerson:

FireStaffController
HireStaffController

I have a partial

PersonList.ascx

The forms are rendered as

Html.BeginForm("FireStaffController" ,
"ActOnChoosenPerson") or
Html.BeginForm("HireStaffController" ,
"ActOnChoosenPerson")

What is a good way to get rid of the controller parameter? Right now I pass the name of the current controller into the model and use

Html.BeginForm(Model.CurrentController ,
"ActOnChoosenPerson")

but that is a bit awkward.

A: This code will always give your current controller
<%=( Url.RequestContext.RouteData.GetRequiredString("Controller")) %>

Obviously you can use it without the <%= like this
Html.BeginForm(
  Url.RequestContext.RouteData.GetRequiredString("Controller")) ,
  "ActOnChoosenPerson")

It looks more clunky but your model should not need to know what controller is calling it.

A: ViewContext's RouteData property contains names of current controller and action. You could use them like this:
Html.BeginForm("ActOnChoosenPerson", ViewContext.RouteData.
    GetRequiredString("controller"))

A: The easiest way to do this would be to simply call BeginForm() with no parameters.

African Gay Human Rights Defender honored with world human rights award in Geneva
Washington, DC –– Human Rights First today praised the work of Kasha Jacqueline Nabagesera, who was selected to receive the 2011 Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders. The 20th recipient of this prestigious award, Nabagesera was honored last week during a ceremony in Geneva's Victoria Hall. Kasha Jacqueline Nabagesera is the founding director of Freedom and Roam Uganda, a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights organization. The situation of LGBT community is extremely difficult and dangerous in many countries like Uganda where LGBT people are threatened, imprisoned, attacked and even murdered on the simple ground of their sexual orientation. This year, on January 26, one of her colleagues, gay activist David Kato, was murdered following the publication of a "gay list" by the Ugandan tabloid Rolling Stone. The list, which also included Kasha Jacqueline's name, called on the public to hang these activists. Despite that threat, Kasha continues to find the courage to appear on national and international media at the risk of her life. The Chairman of the Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders, Hans Thoolen, has described Kasha as "an exceptional woman of rare courage, fighting under death threat against homophobia." During the one-hour ceremony last week, exclusive and penetrating images shot in Uganda demonstrated the work of the Laureate. Djenka Flow performed African music in her honour and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights presented the award. The event was co-organised with the City of Geneva, the human rights capital of the world, and the Geneva State Councillor, Sandrine Salerno, concluded the evening. The Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders is a unique collaboration among 10 of the world's leading human rights organizations and is the award of the whole human rights movement. It is sometimes referred to as the Nobel prize for human rights. The Jury is composed of the following NGOs: Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Human Rights First, International Federation for Human Rights, World Organization Against Torture, International Commission of Jurists, German Diakonie, International Service for Human Rights, Front Line and HURIDOCS.

BODY COUNT FT. ICE T
Maybe no one saw the humor, or maybe they were distracted by the barely competent heavy metal of the album, but rapper Ice-T's heavy metal group launched a hurricane of publicity with their self-titled debut album, Body Count. Ice-T's music had been hard as heavy metal for a number of years, and on 1991's landmark O.G. Original Gangster, he recorded the speed metal/hip-hop fusion "Body Count" with his band of the same name. Body Count's lineup included Ernie-C (guitar), D-Roe (guitar), Mooseman (bass), and Beatmaster V (drums), all of whom attended Crenshaw High School in South Central Los Angeles. On the 1991 Lollapalooza tour, Ice-T performed with Body Count and earned a substantial amount of fans and praise.

Additional Air Monitoring Underway In Winton Terrace, Spring Grove Village
91.7 WVXU | By Tana Weingartner
pixabay.com, available for use
The Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency is conducting additional monitoring Monday and Tuesday in the Winton Terrace and Spring Grove Village neighborhoods. The move follows complaints from community members and a subsequent report in the media.
"We're going to do some portable air monitoring in the community in the next couple of days just to make sure we're not seeing any levels of concern," says Brad Miller, interim director of the Department of Environmental Services.
After that, the agency is planning some additional monitoring.
"We'll also take some 24-hour samples ... that's how the air toxics monitor normally operates for a 24-hour period of time. It runs once every 12 days, so we'll do some random 24-hour samples out in the community, probably over the next month."
Miller says the Ohio EPA monitored air quality in those neighborhoods from 1991 to 2012. Based on data showing low levels of air toxins, Ohio EPA and the U.S. EPA concluded no further monitoring was needed.
Some random monitoring continues, and Miller says six violations have been issued.
As the Cincinnati Enquirer reported last week, those communities had the highest levels of toxic air emissions in the city in 2016. People living in Winton Terrace told the newspaper they have difficulty breathing and speculate industrial factories belonging to P&G, Marathon, BASF, Sun Chemical and Emery are the cause.
Hamilton County commissioners are slated to hear the results of Monday and Tuesday's preliminary air monitoring Wednesday.
