The way forward

I thought this article, while not tackling the many wrong statistics associated with college rape, points to strategies that colleges can move towards to prevent rape.

I've seen so many no-ice cream machine recipes, I can't remember if we've already looked at this one. i mean, you have an ice cream machine but i still don't!

I found this report on what STEM millenials really make quite fascinating.

How are you feeling about this Ben?

awww - not captured, his tiny friendly bunny rolling next to him!

for the mandoline

before you leave, appreciate that which is Germany

1. What a bad deal for the city. Boo Scott Walker!

2. Seriously. It's also surprising that they never thought of this. I mean, it seems slightly improbable that someone would be a millionaire in public housing but is exactly the point that people would eventually earn enough to get out. It seems the procedures for that occurrence are ...do nothing. In which case, what do the people of HUD do all day besides shut people out of affordable housing?

3. I think it's an interesting idea to put children in tracks from early on so the higher kids don't get left behind but I think there's been a lot of research stating that tracks really hurt kids. I can believe it - kids don't want to feel stupid. Also, kids aren't always uniformly good at all subjects. Even so, this race to help out the bottom seems to be hurting everyone. They talked about this in the mindset book - everyone can learn, don't fall to the prejudice of low expectations, but don't set high expectations without having some plan to help the kids achieve them.

4. Ooh that's super interesting but a super sad ending. Another thing to fail at? No wonder they don't have any desire!

5. Is it a station wagon?

6. I think he made the right decision. It's a difficult one too. Good for him.

7. I mean, I assume training a kid in basically anything to the professional level will cost a lot of money. Maybe less so for track and field and basketball (of course, those are the main sports where minorities are not underrepresented. I can't really explain football though because that seems expensive). This article - like really all articles - equates "persons of color" with "poor people." "This is very expensive so people of color can't do it." But there are middle and upper middle class black families who probably aren't choosing ballet for their daughters. I know my family would never choose ballet because to us, it's kinda weird, not to mention painful. Also, with the exceptions of Misty Copeland and Baryshnikov, there are no famous ballerinas so it doesn't seem lucrative. It seems like you'd be better off in the WNBA.

2. To be fair, I don't think anyone's taking advantage of the system yet. It still seems a little risky and new to take on more loans than you can manage in hopes of getting forgiveness. I don't think getting public interest jobs is something you can bank on. However, if you do get a public interest job, then I guess you can max out loans in your final year. =P (assuming of course you can stomach public interest for 10 years).

3. Maybe a kickstarter could fund that research? I think minorities and Jewish people would kick in to prove that they are not cheap. =P

6. I think the Mosaic district is in Fairfax? That makes it much less cool. Incidentally, the restaurant they are buying - Gypsy Soul - used to be helmed by RJ Cooper - the same guy as Rogue 24.

3. YAY for triumphant returns!

5. Even if they fix this Guantanamo closing thing, that seems like the first of many new problems.

6. Why would you be smug? Because you're using taxpayer subsidies? Why does that confer smugness?

3. I guess the last question I have is do I need to buy a new unlocked phone or can I still get this phone unlocked on the new plan?
