A few years ago, I scolded an advisee of mine for pulling out of a leadership position (house president). Her reason was that she thought she had no chance of winning. Only one other person ran---and got the position by default. My advisee happened to be Black young woman. I told her that because of the history of our country and some facets of its current state, persons from certain demographic groups do not have the luxury to give up leadership positions. A few days ago, I saw a similar situation develop, but this time in an Honors Physics class. Upon researching some statistics, I found an article on "Who Gets 5's on AP Physics Exam" in the blog http://isteve.blogspot.com by Steve Sailer. (Disclaimer: I take no position on any view expressed by Sailer or his blog.)

Despite the lengthy and rarely intelligent debates about marriage, marriage equality, gay marriage, or whatever label the media decides to use, I have not found any articles discussing the removal of govenrment or civil law from marriage altogether. However, I finally found one. It actually discusses the issue intelligently. The article does go in-depth into how this might come about, but it poses good points. The article is posted on a blog called Big Think. I am agnostic toward the blog in general and only wish to bring attention to the article I found there, by Peter Lawler, called "Should Government Get Out of the Marriage Business?"
I searched ("googled") the pharse, "What should I do if I can't afford college, even with loans?" Here's a great thread that does not give an answer but certainly raises some points to consider, especially one's attitude. I found it at CollegeConfidential.com at the following URL:
I had to delete all posts in order to purge the spam comments! I had not realized internet bots were such an issue!!

I went to a Joomla powered website I had created (that was previously working just fine) and was redirected to an error screen that had the line:
Class 'JLog' not found in error.php on line 339 jimport
There was a long site-specific directory path before "error.php". I searched several Joomla sites looing for a solution. Most involved saving the MySQL database and re-installing. However, I found one forum that suggested the Class JLog was part of a definitions file in the libraries/joomla/log directory of the installation. The actual file was named "log.php". The post also referenced ftp errors common during an installation process.
I am about to swap out my motherboard and processor (Intel D955Xcs and Pentium duo). I want to reuse those in a new computer case. OS is Win 7 and Opensuse 12.1 dual boot. In order to be safe, I am creating a bootable USB with Opensuse.
First step is to go see this "silent" video: http://youtu.be/sRzVxw2tI5o (2:20)
No explanation. Just two video links that will teach you L'Hopital's Rule in Calculus AB/BC fashion and even give you some practice applying it.

Every now and then, I do try to practice playing my guitar. I am just good enough to be bad. I have learned that when I do practice, using a song or music that I actually enjoy works best. No matter how badly I play it, in my mind, it still sounds like the song I enjoy. Thus, I have fun practicing.
Recently, I was in the mood for classic 1960's Brittish Invasion Rock-n-Roll. I found "No Milk Today" by Herman's Hermits on YouTube:
I used the tab music at tabs.ultimate-guitar.com. About two weeks later, I ran into this version of No Milk Today by Joshua James & The Forest Rangers, which played in The Season 3 Opener of Sons of Anarchy:
Enjoy.
A live reaction---at least the version of which I am writing---is a video of yourself "reacting" live and in real-time as you watch an anime. Others can then play back your live reaction as they watch the anime, and it's is like having you in the room with them.
Before successfully mastering Differential Equations in Calculus AB, you must have ALL the basic derivative/ anti-derivatives form MEMORIZED.
A guy names Paul Miller did it and then wrote about it! Well, he did get paid to do it. You see, he's a writer. An online 'zine called The Verge was interested in the resulting story. Miller writes, "At 11:59PM on April 30th, 2012, I unplugged my Ethernet cable, shut off my Wi-Fi, and swapped my smartphone for a dumb one. It felt really good. I felt free." Miller's story is very interesting. Here's another excerpt to pique your interest:
In one of the early months my boss expressed slight frustration at how much I was writing, which has never happened before and never happened since. I lost 15 pounds without really trying. I bought some new clothes. People kept telling me how good I looked, how happy I seemed. In one session, my therapist literally patted himself on the back.
PBS's Need To Know re-braodcast on Sunday April 21(perhaps original air date was a few days earlier) presented a program on Financial Literacy. It highlighted a program in Missiissippi directed at educating kids (as young as 1st grade) and their parents about developing savings habits and the importance of having a bank account. I got curious about the statistics. The FDIC published results of a survey in 2011. The information that follows comes from that survery, which you can find here: 2012 Underbanked Survery (or go to

Again, nothing but a few video links. This is for practice, not the initial teaching of the topic.
I had a Win XP crash due to a bad disk. Since I would have to re-install XP on the new disk, I figured I might as well install a newer OS... WIndows 7 (and dual boot Opensuse Linux, but that's not relevant here). Then I wanted to keep all my mailboxes in Thuderbird as they were. I found the solution here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1774485
Another anime as I search for something as good as Full Metal Alcheist. Chaos; Head has plenty of promise: a blossiming love story, mystery, and a unique weapon (the DiSword). However, it's only 12 episodes long. If you would like to watch this series, go to: Chaos; Head on YouTube.
My favorite Anime of all time is probably Full Metal Alchemist. Anime enthusiasts know there are two versions: FMA and FMA-Brotherhood. Both are great, but Brotherhood had a complete story, following the original story line of the original author. More on FMA later. Today, I wanted to mention Chrono Crusade, the latest Anime I found in my search to find an anime that I enjoy as much as I enjoyed FMA. You can find episode 1 (of 24) with English subtitles here: Chrono Crusade on YouTube. Wikipedia has a great summary of everything you might want to know here: Chrono Crusade on Wikipedia. My review to come later.
