Althouse: "Students told to disavow 'American-ness, maleness ...

Asserts a headline at The College Fix that's getting a lot of attention right now. See Memeorandum and Instapundit. But the text, even as it tries to stir up our outrage, does not support the assertion:

A political science professor at Butler University asks students to disregard their ?American-ness, maleness, whiteness, heterosexuality, middle-class status? when writing and speaking in the classroom ? a practice the school?s arts and sciences dean defended as a way to negate students? inherent prejudices.

Disregard? The headline said "disavow." There's a big difference between disavowing something and disregarding it.? But "disregard" isn't even the teacher's word. What is the teacher's word? I'm guessing, from reading this far, that the teacher would like students to become aware that their attitudes and opinions come from their own perspective and to enlarge their field of vision.

The syllabus of the class, called Political Science 201: Research and Analysis, goes on to ask students ?to write and speak in a way that does not assume American-ness, maleness, whiteness, heterosexuality, middle-class status, etc. to be the norm.? It is taught by a black, female professor.

So "do not assume"... It doesn't say "disavow" or "disregard." It says do not assume. Do not assume that do not assume means more than do not assume.?

The writer at The College Fix, a student at Butler, says he "dropped that politically correct political science class."

Clearly, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Butler University believes its students were raised as racist and misogynist homophobes who have grown to harbor many prejudices, a stance that is both offensive and hostile to any student?s ability to learn.

Now, I don't see the evidence that the teacher deserves this harsh judgment, but I believe the student really did experience her expression in this very negative way. It's easy to point at the probable and amusing irony: He read the syllabus from the perspective of a white, middle-class, heterosexual, American male. Maybe he'd benefit from experimenting with reading it from different perspectives. The teacher said do not assume and he assumed a lot (as far as I can tell). He assumed that she assumed that the students were racist, sexist homophobes. He was afraid she thought that and afraid she wouldn't be fair or that he couldn't learn very much from her.

That's where the teacher failed. She didn't anticipate the way her message would be perceived by incoming students. She repelled this student. And there's the other irony: She was not ? to use the word she seems to treasure ? inclusive.

Miami-Dade mayor tells election advisory group county should have ?best electoral process in the nation?

Members of a group examining Miami-Dade elections peppered a county attorney and the elections supervisor with questions Wednesday morning as they began their review of state and local laws and practices, to eventually suggest improvements.

They were particularly interested in how Miami-Dade verifies voter signatures on absentee ballots, where the county can set up early-voting sites and how to speed up the voter check-in process at precincts on Election Day.

County Mayor Carlos Gimenez convened the election advisory group after the presidential election earlier this month was marked by long lines and a surge of absentee ballots that took several days to count. The group met for the first time Wednesday at the county elections headquarters in Doral.

Gimenez welcomed the 13 group members, who then listened to presentations by Elections Supervisor Penelope Townsley and the assistant county attorney in charge of elections, Oren Rosenthal.

Townsley, whose department runs about 20 elections a year, outlined absentee, early and Election Day voting preparations and procedures, showing off the department?s master computer file that keeps track of tasks and deadlines and a web video that explains to voters how their absentee ballots are tracked.

?We?re very proud of the policies and procedures that we have in place,? she said. ?However, we do realize that there?s opportunity for improvement.?

Townsley went over challenges that affected the Nov. 6 general election, including a 10-12 page ballot that required the department to issue emergency procurements so its vendors could outfit absentee-ballot machines to accommodate that many pages. The machines prepare ballots to be mailed and sort and open ballots received, though trained elections employees are in charge of verifying voter signatures.

Signature-verification software exists, but the department has not bought it because it has not found software it considers accurate enough, Townsley said.

The department also had to redesign absentee-ballot envelopes to fit the lengthy ballot.

Though Miami-Dade had enlisted 150 temporary workers to assist with ballot counting, Townsley said only 60 of them showed up to work. The others said the elections work was too short, or that they feared working would result in their becoming ineligible for unemployment benefits.

Another problem: The department was overwhelmed with voter calls about absentee ballots, receiving on average 2,000 calls a day and more than 7,500 on Election Day.

And for the first time this year, state law required counties to count absentee ballots continuously, beginning on Election Day and until the count was complete, requiring round-the-clock shifts for workers and the canvassing board that has the ultimate say on rejecting invalid voter signatures.

The elections department has not yet submitted its ?after-action report,? a post-mortem detailing how things went during the election.

Several of the questions raised by advisory group members would require changes to state law. For example, Florida limits early-voting sites to elections offices, city halls and permanent libraries ? though the county could spend more money to open more of those sites.

State law also requires counties to identify early-voting sites 30 days in advance, which essentially prohibits opening last-minute sites due to overwhelming voter interest.

Rovi is shutting down its OTA TV guide service without notice

The company with so much love it changed its name to fool its fans is at it again, this time killing the signal that provides guide data directly to many televisions and set-top boxes. You see, before changing its name from Macrovision, Rovi acquired Gemstar-TV guide in 2008 -- which was probably most well known for the integrated program guide common in higher end TVs throughout the last decade. While most people just use the guide offered on their provider's set-top, this guide is for those who actually use the clear-QAM or over-the-air tuner in their TV. The way it worked is that manufacturers baked the software into the TV, which would then tune into a local affiliate's broadcast of a week's worth of guide data. The setup successfully made it through the digital transition -- minus the truckloads of analog-only TVs ceasing to work along the way -- as new TVs featured a digital version of the service, as well as some digital converters, like the DTVpal DVR.

Higgs confident CERN particle is one he forecast in 1960s

By Ethan Bilby

BRUSSELS | Tue Nov 27, 2012 4:53pm EST

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The physicists who theorized the existence of a basic subatomic particle half a century ago are confident recent data is proving they were right all along.

Peter Higgs, whose eponymous "Higgs boson" is the long-sought target of the $10 billion Large Hadron collider in Switzerland, told reporters on Tuesday he was sure a particle detected last July was one he had predicted in 1964.

"I think it will turn out to be (the Higgs boson), but it's just a question of getting out the additional information."

Data so far from CERN's LHC particle accelerator seemed unlikely to reveal a more exotic set of particles, Higgs said, and "fit too well" with a single particle that gives mass to matter envisaged by the Standard Model of physics.

"As far as I can see from the results now it's not yet totally confirmed, but it's practically sure - I'm ready to bet on it," Belgian physicist Francois Englert, who also theorized the particle, said before giving a speech to the European Parliament in Brussels.

Although the scientists predicted the presence of the particle years earlier, it took a multinational effort of over 100 countries to build the LHC, which two years into its operation yielded a result.

Higgs said that this type of collaborative research helped not only science, but the economy as a whole, and he was worried about proposed cuts to European Union science funding.

"What you do by cutting the science budget is to reduce your supply of young trained scientists who will do other things which are obviously more useful for your economy," he said.

"You may be cutting down on things which will provide a stimulus for your economy in the not too distant future."

For Higgs, who at 83 has retired from active research, the sudden attention brought on by the LHC discovery last July has been a little overwhelming.

"It has resulted in piles of piles of letters and emails on my floor at home," he said, explaining he had needed to enlist help from a team of colleagues just to sort through it.

The bashful professor has no hard feelings that he's not yet been tapped for the Nobel Prize in physics, saying he "was reprieved" and "got a stay of execution".

Touted by some as a possible winner in 2013, Higgs said that winning the Nobel for his work might leave the prize committee the unenviable task of having to choose between a number of co-discoverers, but he acknowledged he was in the running.

"As for what happens next year, I certainly feel vulnerable."

How to Use Balance Transfers to Eliminate Credit Card Debt for Good

This article was written by Jason Bushey. Jason is the Vice President of Creditnet.com.

Listening to NPR on my way into work yesterday, I heard a a pretty astounding bit of news.

According to a recent report by the credit agency TransUnion, the average American?s credit debt rose nearly 5% from the same time last year to a shade under $5,000. That?s right ? the average American owes creditors close to five grand, and delinquent payments were up a smidge from last year, too. (0.04%)

Believe it or not, analysts actually think this is a good thing for consumer confidence and the economy overall since spending is on the rise. However, it?s certainly not a good thing for individual consumers who are facing some serious debt and snowballing interest rates.

Before you get bogged down by interest rates as you attempt to pay back your credit debt (and especially if you?re at this point already), you should consider transferring your balance to a 0% interest balance transfer credit card.

If you?re not sure what a balance transfer credit card? is or how they work, the idea is simple: Stop paying interest on your credit card bill by transferring your credit debt to a new card offering 0% interest on balance transfers during its intro promotion period.

Think about it ? consumers pay anywhere from 9.99% to 29.99% on interest each month. If you?re the average consumer that owes $5,000 in debt and you?re paying 15% interest, that is $750 in interest alone!

We probably don?t need to convince you what your next move should be?

So now that we have your attention, here?s what you need to do to transfer your balance and save in three simple steps:

1. Devise a plan

The first thing you should do is determine how many months it will take you to pay back your credit card debt at 0% interest. Remember to use realistic monthly payments as the benchmark, that way you can come up with an accurate timeline for paying back your credit.

For example, if you?re sure you can pay $100 a month each month and you owe $1,000, then it will take you 10 months to pay back your credit card debt. Once you get your strategy in order, the next thing to do is choose your card.

2. Pick the right balance transfer credit card

Now that you?re armed with your payment plan, you?ll know what to look for in a balance transfer credit card. If it?s going to take you 10 months to pay back your credit debt, then you need to find a balance transfer card that has a promotion period of at least 10 months. (And to be safe, we would maybe tack on a month or two just in case you fall behind.)

In general, intro periods can last anywhere from three to 18 months depending on the credit card. If you?ve calculated that it?s going to take you a while to pay back your debt, then of course we would recommend applying for credit cards with the longest intro periods. A credit card with an 18 month intro period (for example, the Citi Simplicity? Card) is recommended for such a consumer.

Also ? and this is important ? make sure the balance transfer credit card you?re interested in includes transfers in their 0% APR intro period! While many credit cards offers no interest on card transfers, fewer include them in their intro period. So, before you submit that credit card application, read the fine print and confirm that you won?t pay any interest on your balance transfer.

3. Transfer your balance as soon as you receive your new card

Introductory promotion periods are, obviously, temporary. Make your credit card transfer as soon as you can to get the most out of your 0% intro period. That way, you can stop paying interest and start paying back your credit debt directly from the get-go with your new balance transfer credit card.

Any month you can skip interest fees means more money in your wallet, so there?s no reason to wait. And since it?s the holidays, any additional cash can be really helpful. Just try not go too wild this holiday shopping season.

George Washington University

WASHINGTON (Nov. 26, 2012) Imtiaz A. Khan, M.D., professor of microbiology, immunology, and tropical medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, received a $1.6 million federal grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to study the effects of microsporidiaopportunistic inter-cellular pathogensthat cause morbidity and mortality in HIV patients.

Fifteen years ago, Khan saw that this type of infection was becoming a major problem in HIV populations. He realized little had been researched about immune response to these pathogens. After looking into the matter further, he saw that CD8+ T cells played a critical role in protecting against these pathogens.

His project, titled "CD8+ T cell effectors against microsporidia," will study how to prevent microsporidia from causing complications in immunocompromised subjects by regulating CD8+ T cells. These highly understudied cells are tolerated and controlled in healthy, immunocompetent individuals. For the elderly or individuals with HIV, these cells can cause problems. In order to stave off infection for the immunocompromised, the cells need to be maintained and regenerated.

"The question is, how can you generate CD8 effectively, so this infection does not harm them?" said Khan. "Because CD8+ T cells are critical, how can you maintain a good CD8 cell population, so this group of pathogens doesn't reemerge?"

Khan and his research team will be using cytokines and other therapeutic methods to generate highly functional CD8+ T cells to create and maintain robust immunity against these pathogens, improving the mortality and quality of life of many HIV patients.

This research may not only benefit those suffering from microspordia, but can be extended to other infections effecting HIV populations, as well.

Changing Your Resume for Each Company - job search techniques ...

IP is over the quota
IP is over the quota

A recruiter once gave me an excellent tip when she said to change my resume every time I applied for a job. Why I asked? She told me that company recruiters will often use a keyword search to select the candidates that they feel matches the position. This keeps them from having to sort through the hundreds of resumes they receive. She said that if the resume does not have the keywords that they look for, then they typically go into the rejected pile.

Depending on the position you're applying for, you should use words that will notify HR managers about your qualifications. For example, if you're looking for a position as the Vice President of an accounting company you might want to include words such as:

- Tax Accounting

- Reconciliations

- Profit and Loss Statements

It can be very difficult to find a job in today's economic climate, and looking for high level or executive work requires a keen eye, and often, knowing someone whose already in the organization. After updating your resume, send it to your friends in the industry and see if they are able to direct it to the appropriate HR managers.

If you're looking for a job as an administrative assistant you should use the following words when updating your resume:

- Ability to type 80 wpm

- Microsoft Office

- Mac office

- Reception

- Phone support

No matter the type of work you're looking for make sure you ask past colleagues or friends if they know of any open positions within their companies. It's always an excellent decision to put your feelers out and see what kind of work is available. And always change-up your resume to meet the requirements of the job. It may be a entry-level position, but as long as you can turn it into something down the road, it may be worth looking into.

Tips for Working with Keyword Search Software

Many companies will use a type of software that identifies keywords in resumes. But what can you do to beat these machines?

Revise your resume so it includes keywords included in the job description during your opening. Take for example, if the job description says, "Coordinate and develop websites and blogs," your resume must include keywords such as "websites" and "blogs". But only if you have the experience, of course...

Update your multipurpose resume with frequently used keywords so that you do not have to revise it every time you have another job interview. One idea is to revise it every six months in order to stay current. Newer keywords may be used in the future, so stay current with them.

Add the most important keywords to your cover letter. Don't over do it though. You just want to have a few of the choice words that HR managers are looking for.

To all of the aspiring web design artists out there:? these are just some of the other hundreds of tips that you will get elsewhere but remember that their success or failure will always still be in your hands

This approach is much more accurate than current methods used to detect hospital outbreaks.Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:46:46 ESThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/11/121113214635.htm

3D Print a Resistor Lead Form and Other Tools

If you have access to a 3D printer there are many small and useful tools you can print out including a resistor lead forming tool from 3D printer design repository Thingiverse. The lead tool helps to bend resistor leads easily at a precise angle to fit breadboards and printed circuit boards.

Make weblog shares seven particular tools in a slideshow including a replacement Swiss Army Knife toothpick, rotary tool attachments such as a router base and cutoff saw, a break loom, and a few others. 3D printers are becoming viable alternatives for small useful plastic items such as appliance parts, phone cases, and a replacement beak for an injured eagle.

With so many interesting projects like these it's a wonder more people aren't buying or building 3D printers or at least joining local Makerspaces.

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) ? There isn't much more pressure a team could face this early in the season.

No. 19 Memphis arrived in the Bahamas as one of four ranked teams playing in the eight-team Battle 4 Atlantis.

Losses to VCU and Minnesota by a combined 22 points left the Tigers in the seventh-place game on Saturday, against a Northern Iowa team that had taken No. 2 Louisville down to the wire in the opening round.

Chris Crawford and Joe Jackson, two of Memphis' better players who had been struggling, scored 18 and 15 points, respectively, in a 52-47 victory.

"If we were 0-3 nobody would want to be around me," Memphis coach Josh Pastner said. "Rocks would have been thrown and maybe it would hit the players. We'd have to look out for snipers after we got off the plane. What's important is we won. We needed some momentum."

Memphis (3-2) was the only ranked team not to reach the semifinals and things didn't look so great late in the first half against the Panthers, who led 26-12 with 4:34 to play.

"We just didn't get some rhythm (in the tournament overall)," Pastner said. "It's a long season. There are going to be some peaks and valleys. This is a good team we played. They'll beat a lot of teams going forward. It's not easy getting back-to-back losses come into a morning game then get down 14 in the first half and come out with a win. I'm really proud of my guys. That's why we play these tournaments. That win is going to help down the line in March."

Jackson, considered one of the better point guards in the country, entered the game with 12 assists and 11 turnovers and was averaging 8.8 points for the season. Pastner only played him 7 minutes in the 78-65 loss to VCU ? none in the second half.

Crawford came in averaging 7.3 points and was shooting 31 percent overall and 21 percent on 3s. He was 6 for 10 on Saturday and made 4 of 6 from 3-point range.

"I put Chris at the point and Joe off the ball. I wanted to get Joe going and I wanted to get Chris going," Pastner said. "We're a better team when our guard play is better and it hasn't been good. So I wanted to get some mojo back on the perimeter, and we did."

Crawford, who had 12 rebounds, hit a 3-pointer to start a 10-0 run that closed the first half and Jackson ended the spurt with another 3 to make it 26-22.

The Tigers never really took control in the second half but they grabbed the lead for good with 4:04 left when Crawford scored on a layup to make it 42-41. Jackson's three-point play after a bad turnover by Northern Iowa's Deon Mitchell made it 48-41 with 36 seconds left. Crawford hit two free throws with 13 seconds to go to make it 52-44.

"I've been playing shooting guard all my life at the 2. It's natural for me to slide to the 2. I did it in my high school, that's all I did," Jackson said. "It has been a tough tournament for me. I have to continue to get better. Overall we got the win and that's the important thing.

"Right now it's not about the position I'm playing. I just want to make the team win. I don't care what position I play, as long as I'm on the floor."

Crawford said he also just wants to do whatever he can to help the Tigers win.

"I'm very comfortable playing point guard," he said. "Getting my teammates involved and stepping it up on the defensive end, I just want to do whatever it takes to win."

Mitchell led the Panthers (3-3) with 18 points and five assists, but Northern Iowa shot 31.4 percent (16 of 51), including going 7 of 27 (25.9 percent) from 3-point range.

"In the three games we have played down here, I thought our first 20 minutes was very sharp," Panthers coach Ben Jacobson said. "We moved the ball well and found guys in the right places. We rebounded better in the first two games. The hard part is we didn't have enough to show for it."

The Tigers, who lost 84-75 to Minnesota in the first round, had 15 turnovers against Northern Iowa, many of them unforced against the Panthers' zone.

Northern Iowa lost 51-46 to Louisville in the first round and 66-60 to Stanford in the consolation semifinals.

"I feel like the first few games we weren't flowing with our usual motion," Mitchell said. "This game we slowed it down. We needed a win and wanted it real bad so we just slowed it down and went through our sets."
