&lt;p&gt;I have great respect for the ways that Sheryl Sandberg, Anne-Marie Slaughter and Marissa Mayer are doing what they think is right and completely ignoring all the chatter about them on the web. They are doing what any man would do – running companies and professoring – and sparking a national debate on the issues of work-life, family and leadership.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They’re doing a great job, which is more than I can say for most of the rest of us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stop Personalizing This Debate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The rest of us seem intent on pitting them against each other – even when they’re not fighting. Here is how Dr. Slaughter responded to someone recently trying to slam her for disagreeing with Ms. Sandberg.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="Untitled1" class="size-full wp-image-6977 alignleft" height="55" src="http://www.inpowerwomen.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Untitled1.png" width="158"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We’re also intent on holding them responsible for what “we” think a woman should stand for. Marissa Mayer is trying to save Yahoo! Her ban on telecommuting has been poorly managed from a public relations point of view, but the comments and articles pouring forth personalize and demonize her for not “representing women’s interests.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hello? It’s not Ms. Mayer’s responsibility to represent women’s interests, work-life or otherwise. It’s her responsibility to run Yahoo! Dr. Slaughter and Ms. Sandberg don’t have to agree – even though they do agree on many things – they only have to stand by their own opinions, which they are doing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Here’s the hard, cold truth about equality, ladies; there will be winners and losers; we will disagree; and this is a good thing!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But when we personalize and demonize those who we disagree with, we fall into one of the unhelpful patterns that get women in trouble for “cat fighting.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Agree or disagree with the ideas, but treat the idea holders with respect. The challenges they are taking on are complicated and complex. There are no simple answers. The answers that will bear the greatest fruit will not make everyone – including working mothers – happy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Equality where we don’t want it&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;There has also been a resurgence in my feeds about Queen Bee issues and b*#chy bosses. I believe it’s related. I believe the discussions in the public dialog are making us more sensitive to the women in our lives who are not helping us. Guess what? That’s a good thing too, because it gives us all an opportunity to realize that women are not better than men. Nastiness is a human quality and as humans, women can be equal opportunity jerks. It’s true that women are less likely to be bullies, but more likely to bully other women when they do. Ok. It’s a fact that some women are mean and like to pick on other women, who are easier targets. Some men are mean too. Learn not to be an easy target. Hold them equally accountable instead of – once again – setting the standards higher for women.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The sooner we hold women accountable instead of “feeling betrayed” by them and punching back (or as is more common, “passive aggressiv-ing back”), the sooner they stop pushing our buttons and we create the opportunity for real change.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Women CAN Lead the Way&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;While I believe that women can be equally nasty, I also believe that – even with the ugly side of equality alive and well within our ranks – women hold the key to a better leadership future – not because we’re better than men but because we can access a better way for women and men alike. Woman have the capability to relate to each other in ways that are uniquely supportive, healing and highly productive. We have a special way of calling on each other to live into our higher selves, finding “both/and” solutions and “win-win” outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em id="__mceDel"&gt;In my experience, and the experience of many other women I know, this feminine leadership style can help our careers amazingly, but very few of us were taught how to lead like this. Yet many of us know it when we feel it. Once we see it in action, and are called to this unique form of leadership, we drink it up, learn it quickly, model it for others and make it core to our recipe for success. And it does help us succeed!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The best thing about this form of leadership is that it’s accessible to everyone, no matter where or in what food chain you’re swimming. All you have to do is experience it, learn what you weren’t taught and start bringing other women into your leadership circle to learn it.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://laurennicoleroth.tumblr.com/post/48299027229</link><guid>http://laurennicoleroth.tumblr.com/post/48299027229</guid><pubDate>Thu, 18 Apr 2013 16:28:40 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>(via Brilliant minds: Women and girls in mathematics...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0baaf9c16cc2bbb79b2fcdbc9818d538/tumblr_mld9ffxDJx1qzuzhro1_500.gif"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;(via &lt;a href="http://holykaw.alltop.com/brilliant-minds-women-and-girls-in-mathematics-infographic" target="_blank"&gt;Brilliant minds: Women and girls in mathematics [infographic] - Holy Kaw!&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://laurennicoleroth.tumblr.com/post/48144329043</link><guid>http://laurennicoleroth.tumblr.com/post/48144329043</guid><pubDate>Tue, 16 Apr 2013 17:09:15 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>HTTP Error 401 Unauthorized Explained</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E401.html"&gt;HTTP Error 401 Unauthorized Explained&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p class="page_heading"&gt;HTTP Error 401 Unauthorized&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Web server (running the Web site) thinks that the HTTP data stream sent by the client (e.g. your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) was correct, but access to the URL resource requires user authentication 1) which has not yet been provided or 2) which has been provided but failed authorization tests. This is commonly known as “HTTP Basic Authentication”. The actual authentication request expected from the client is defined in the HTTP protocol as the WWW-Authenticate header field. (Last updated: March 2012).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Generally this error message means you need to log on (enter a valid user ID and password) somewhere first. If you have just entered these and then immediately see a 401 error, it means that one or both of your user ID and password were invalid for whatever reason (entered incorrectly, user ID suspended etc.).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;401 errors in the HTTP cycle&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any client (e.g. your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) goes through the following cycle:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obtain an IP address from the IP name of the site (the site URL without the leading ‘http://’). This lookup (conversion of IP name to IP address) is provided by domain name servers (DNSs).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open an IP socket connection to that IP address.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Write an HTTP data stream through that socket.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Receive an HTTP data stream back from the Web server in response. This data stream contains status codes whose values are determined by the HTTP protocol. Parse this data stream for status codes and other useful information.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;This error occurs in the final step above when the client receives an HTTP status code it recognises as ‘401’.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fixing 401 errors - general&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each Web Server manages user authentication in its own way. A security officer (e.g. a Web Master) at the site typically decides which users are allowed to access the URL. This person then uses Web server software to set up those users and their passwords. So if you need to access the URL (or you forgot your user ID or password), only the security officer at that site can help you. Refer any security issues direct to them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you think that the URL Web page *should* be accessible to all and sundry on the Internet, then a 401 message indicates a deeper problem. The first thing you can do is check your URL via a Web browser. This browser should be running on a computer to which you have never previously identified yourself in any way, and you should avoid authentication (passwords etc.) that you have used previously. Ideally all this should be done over a completely different Internet connection to any you have used before (e.g. a different ISP dial-up connection). In short, you are trying to get the same behaviour a total stranger would get if they surfed the Internet to the Web page.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If this type of browser check indicates no authority problems, then it is possible that the Web server (or surrounding systems) have been configured to disallow certain patterns of HTTP traffic. In other words, HTTP communication from a well-known Web browser is allowed, but automated communication from other systems is rejected with an 401 error code. This is unusual, but may indicate a very defensive security policy around the Web server.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fixing 401 errors - CheckUpDown&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you set up your CheckUpDown account, you may optionally provide two items &lt;strong&gt;2. Web Site User ID&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;3. Web Site Password&lt;/strong&gt;. You should provide these &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; if the site uses HTTP Basic Authentication. If you provide them, the CheckUpDown robot always uses them. This will result in a 401 error if in fact the site does not use this authentication. Conversely, if you do not provide them and the site does use this authentication, you also get a 401 error.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If however your URL is open to all comers, then an 401 message should not appear. Because it indicates a fundamental authority problem, we can only resolve this by negotiation with the personnel responsible for security on and around the Web site. These discussions unfortunately may take some time, but can often be amicably resolved. You can assist by endorsing our service to the security personnel. Please contact us (email preferred) if you see persistent 401 errors, so that we can agree the best way to resolve them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Check out our &lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/topics/environment/environment.html" target="_blank"&gt;tutorial to setup Ruby 1.9.3 on OS X, Linux, or Windows&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Ruby&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/projects/ruby_in_100_minutes.html" target="_blank"&gt;Ruby in 100 Minutes&lt;/a&gt; - Your first exposure to Ruby, focusing on the most important concepts and syntax elements.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/projects/encryptor.html" target="_blank"&gt;Encryptor&lt;/a&gt; - An introductory project building a rotation-based encryption/decryption program, written for middle or high school students.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/projects/eventmanager.html" target="_blank"&gt;EventManager&lt;/a&gt; - An introduction to Ruby for new programmers doing “Extract-Translate-Load” operations against a large dataset.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/projects/microblogger.html" target="_blank"&gt;MicroBlogger&lt;/a&gt; - A second introductory Ruby tutorial building a rudimentary Twitter client&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Rails&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/projects/blogger.html" target="_blank"&gt;Blogger&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An introduction to Rails by building a blog application with posts, comments, tagging, and authentication. This first Rails project basic model associations, templating, and RESTful routing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Blogger - Advanced Topics&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a series of extension topics from a completed blogger project. This project is a cousin of the original with a number of different implemented features to serve as a jumping off point to build proficiency with:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/topics/controllers/slimming_controllers.html" target="_blank"&gt;Slimming Controllers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/topics/decorators.html" target="_blank"&gt;Presenter Pattern&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/topics/models/modules.html" target="_blank"&gt;Better Models With Modules&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h4&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/projects/contact_manager.html" target="_blank"&gt;Contact Manager&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A test-driven approach to developing a contact management application with people, companies, emails and phone numbers. This project uses RSpec and capybara for testing for models and entire features. This project employs tools like git and Heroku to save and deploy your work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/projects/merchant.html" target="_blank"&gt;Merchant&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;div class="note"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This tutorial is out-of-date and needs major revisions&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A second level Rails project with more complex relationships, techniques.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Independent Work Projects&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Ruby&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/projects/event_reporter.html" target="_blank"&gt;EventReporter&lt;/a&gt; - A follow-up to EventManager focusing more on Ruby object decomposition and working with Command Line Interfaces and program control flow.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/projects/sales_engine.html" target="_blank"&gt;SalesEngine&lt;/a&gt; - This project supplies a set of CSV datafiles and challenges you to build a query/reporting API. It’s an excellent opportunity to practice TDD and manipulating collections. Also, several developers have used it as a test-bed for performance ideas like threads, distributed Ruby, and integrating with a SQL database.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/projects/traffic_spy.html" target="_blank"&gt;TrafficSpy&lt;/a&gt; - The objective is to build a HTTP traffic service like Google Analytics. Your application will allow clients to submit traffic data for that application which you will extract, store, and visualize. This project emphasizes skills in handling web requests, data management, and data visualization.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/projects/jet_fuel.html" target="_blank"&gt;JetFuel&lt;/a&gt; - The objective is to build a URL shortening service like Bit.ly. Your application will allow anonymous users and registered users to create shortened URLS. The main goal of your application is to redirect a request at the shortened URL to their long URL equivalent. Your secondary goal is to track URL usage and provide valueable statistics which you can use to share with your users and/or with advertisers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Rails&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/projects/store_engine.html" target="_blank"&gt;StoreEngine&lt;/a&gt; - A very challenging first Rails project, it represents 2-3 weeks work for a pair of new Rails developers. You’re challenged to build a fully functioning online store with products, categories, a cart, login/permissions, checkout, etc.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/projects/son_of_store_engine.html" target="_blank"&gt;SonOfStoreEngine&lt;/a&gt; - A three week project working with a “legacy” codebase adopting a version of StoreEngine that you didn’t write. You’re challenged to add new features like multi-tenency, products being in and out of stock, subdomains, and serving requests in under 100ms.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://tutorials.jumpstartlab.com/projects/feed_engine.html" target="_blank"&gt;FeedEngine&lt;/a&gt; - You’re probably familiar with &lt;a href="http://tumblr.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Tumblr&lt;/a&gt;. In this project you’re challenged to build a service that can post text, image, and link content like Tumblr. But it also needs to hook into a user’s Twitter, Instagram, and Github accounts to pull content from those services. Oh, and you’ll need to build an API and accompanying rubygem so your background workers can run independent from the primary application.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p class="first-text" data-textannotation-id="5392196521632c7b790a3b084863326e"&gt;This sunny, almost-warm Sunday morning, CBS put together a cheerful little &lt;a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/2300-3445_162-10016373-26.html" target="_blank"&gt;slideshow&lt;/a&gt; featuring the most eccentric and, dare we say, demented breakfast cereal mascots. The slideshow featured retro iterations of Tony the Tiger, the homoerotic trio of rice-puffing elves, Snap, Crackle and Pop, Franken Berry, the Quaker Oatmeal dude Larry, King Vitamin, Toucan Sam, and Captain Crunch. Even Urkel and C-3P0, two of the universe’s most annoying nerds, were included. Notably absent were any female breakfast cereal mascots. Is that because the slideshow compilers at CBS are sexist assholes? No, of course not — there simply aren’t any female breakfast cereal mascots.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-textannotation-id="fc33ba80d24c24beee19fda9b74133a3"&gt;Maybe it’s not the greatest of patriarchal injustices that cockeyed the toucans, skateboarding frogs, and vaguely pedophilic white rabbits hawking sugar-blasted cereal to children are all male. Then again, kids love sugary breakfast cereal, and if their first experience of every morning in their young, bleary-eyed lives is to cozy up to a bowl of glazed cornmeal with their good pal Tony, they’re going to be conditioned to 1) not take nutritional advice from women, 2) expect tigers to not be bloodthirsty land mammals with a taste for child blood. Those are the lessons the cereal conglomerates of America have been teaching kids since merchandizing gave every pop culture icon a cereal, and every cereal an endearing mascot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-textannotation-id="0de859496bdd26ebc7de625e8a2d27c3"&gt;The Sneeze noticed the &lt;a href="http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000754.php" target="_blank"&gt;conspicuous exclusion&lt;/a&gt; of women from cereal boxes years ago, and searched vainly for some examples of lady cereal mascots (the best were Kellogg’s Disney Princess Cereal and a box of Kashi Cinna-Raisin Crunch that featured two nearly post menopausal women sharing a smile after their morning bowel movement). Even Fruity Pebbles, a cereal that actually includes the name of a &lt;em&gt;Flintstones&lt;/em&gt; character, decided not to put Pebbles on its box.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-textannotation-id="e08b26ed15f093c9f0675b2faabaf1a3"&gt;The cereal aisle is one big, festering example of a seemingly innocuous strain of gender inequality, where kids are pandered to by male cartoon characters whose unblinking eyes follow them through the grocery store like the eyes of creepy portraits in a haunted house. It’s an easy boy’s club to ignore because it seems so goofy and insignificant. So what if only male mascots hawk shitty cereal to kids? Who cares about shitty cereal? More importantly, who cares about kids?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-textannotation-id="7f63dcf729dea9e16463bf421bc6372a"&gt;Breakfast cereal mascots carry a kind of cultural authority, just the same as athletes, pop singers, or Saturday morning cartoon characters. They tell kids what to eat, embedding themselves so deeply in a child’s consciousness that “breakfast” becomes synonymous with Captain Crunch mouth abrasions. The trouble with a boys’ club of cereal pitchmen is that they accustom kids to only ever seeing men in positions of authority. Maybe that authority doesn’t carry a lot of weight (after all, everyone just ignores the creepy Trix rabbit), but it contributes to creating an adult world where men are seen as the only true authority figures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-textannotation-id="179b3c614bdb404351fe0a96381a3b1a"&gt;Think about that the next time you see some unsupervised child standing on his tippy-toes to reach a box of Count Chocula. Then approach the child and ask in a friendly voice, “Need help, little guy?” Invariably the child will nod shyly, which is your cue to knock the entire shelf of Count Chocula to the floor and walk away. Don’t feel bad — you’re doing your part, however small, to erode the patriarchy’s power. It’s just like Pavlov’s dogs, only with people.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As Amy &lt;a href="http://feministing.com/2013/04/08/breaking-margaret-thatcher-britains-first-female-prime-minister-passes-away/" target="_blank"&gt;posted &lt;/a&gt;earlier today, Margaret Thatcher has died. She was Britain’s first and only woman Prime Minister, crashing the ancient iron gates of patriarchal politics. Though her actions can be seen as a feminist victory, she herself was not a feminist.  She once &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/4435414.stm" target="_blank"&gt;said&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The battle for women’s rights has largely been won. The days when they were demanded and discussed in strident tones should be gone forever. I hate those strident tones we hear from some Women’s Libbers.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In case you need more proof of her anti-feminism, here’s another &lt;a href="http://www.policymic.com/articles/33527/margaret-thatcher-dead-she-was-the-worst-feminist-ever" target="_blank"&gt;gem&lt;/a&gt; from the “Iron Lady”:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;‘The feminists hate me, don’t they? And I don’t blame them. For I hate feminism. It is poison.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She was the polar opposite of feminist &lt;a href="http://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/publishing/perspectives_magazine/women_perspectives_Spring2004CrenshawPSP.authcheckdam.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;intersectionality&lt;/a&gt;. Thatcher’s conservatism earned itself a name, Thatcherism, a belief in free markets, free trade, competition, a small state, and self-reliance. She once&lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/charlesmoore/8027552/No-Such-Thing-as-Society-a-good-time-to-ask-what-Margaret-Thatcher-really-meant.html" target="_blank"&gt; said&lt;/a&gt;, “There is no such thing as society….there are individual men and women and…there are families and no government can do anything…it is our duty to look after ourselves.” As Education Secretary, she cut free school milk for children over the age of seven, which earned her the nick name “Margaret Thatcher, Milk Snatcher.” And her domestic policies as Prime Minister “&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/3067563.stm" target="_blank"&gt;managed&lt;/a&gt; to destroy the power of the trade unions for almost a generation,” and Thatcher and the Thatcherites slashed social programs, including housing and education. After stepping down as Prime Minister, Thatcher continued to serve the interest of the elites, working, for example, for the Philip Morris Tobacco company as a “geopolitical consultant.” She was also racist, and &lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/margaret-thatcher/6906503/Margaret-Thatcher-complained-about-Asian-immigration-to-Britain.html" target="_blank"&gt;preferred &lt;/a&gt;white immigrants over Vietnamese so-called “boat people.” And she supported South Africa’s apartheid regime, &lt;a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/cameron-apologises-for-thatcher-apartheid-policies-413569.html" target="_blank"&gt;calling&lt;/a&gt; Nelson Mandela’s ANC “terrorists.” &lt;span id="more-61675"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;But don’t worry. She &lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/personal-view/3635244/Thatcher-always-honoured-Britains-debt-to-Pinochet.html" target="_blank"&gt;hearted&lt;/a&gt; the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today, America’s right wing politicians are using her legacy to attack the left. One Texan Republican, Rep. Steve Stockman, actually &lt;a href="http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2013/04/08/1832551/thatcher-dies/" target="_blank"&gt;wrote &lt;/a&gt;,“The best way to honor Baroness Thatcher is to crush liberalism and sweep it into the dustbin of history. What are you doing this morning to defeat liberal politicians?” Yeah! What ARE you doing? And at first glance, she appears the mother of America’s current right wing. But unlike today’s right wing, Thatcher wasn’t a total wing-nut. For example, she believed in science. As &lt;a href="http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2013/04/08/1832551/thatcher-dies/" target="_blank"&gt;ThinkProgress&lt;/a&gt; points out, Thatcher did several things that the Tea Party and Republicans consider heretic: She increased taxes and believed in climate change, gun control and socialized medicine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overall, Thatcher can be remembered for proving that women can be as heartless as men. Which may be a feminist victory, but not one that I’m particularly proud of. And she did make history as a woman, but went on to use her power to work against the most vulnerable, including women and their children.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://laurennicoleroth.tumblr.com/post/47477481803</link><guid>http://laurennicoleroth.tumblr.com/post/47477481803</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:18:08 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Talking 'Mad Men': Season 6 Premiere - NYTimes.com</title><description>&lt;a href="http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/08/talking-mad-men-season-6-premiere/?partner=rss&amp;emc=rss"&gt;Talking 'Mad Men': Season 6 Premiere - NYTimes.com&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2013/04/09/arts/madmenrecap1/madmenrecap1-blog480.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://laurennicoleroth.tumblr.com/post/47477237468</link><guid>http://laurennicoleroth.tumblr.com/post/47477237468</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:14:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>ACLU catches Ohio jailing those too poor to pay fines — RT USA</title><description>&lt;a href="http://rt.com/usa/courts-ohio-debtors-prisons-416/"&gt;ACLU catches Ohio jailing those too poor to pay fines — RT USA&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;div class="cont-wp-mid max_width"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A new ACLU report accuses Ohio courts of imprisoning people who are unable to pay court fees. The group, which claims to have found evidence in seven counties, likened the practice to a resurgence of debtor’s prisons - which were outlawed by the 1830s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Entitled “&lt;em&gt;The Outskirts of Hope&lt;/em&gt;,” the report also accuses Ohio judges of consistently denying those locked up in such circumstances court hearings to prove their financial status.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;Supreme Court precedent and Ohio law make clear that local courts and jails should not function as debtors’ prisons&lt;/em&gt;,” said American Civil Liberties Union staff attorney Carl Takei. “&lt;em&gt;Yet many mayors’ courts and some municipal courts jail people without making any attempt whatsoever to determine whether they can afford to pay their fines.&lt;/em&gt;”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;Being poor is not a crime in this country&lt;/em&gt;,” said ACLU staff attorney Richard Goodman, who was quoted in the group’s announcement. “&lt;em&gt;Incarcerating people who cannot afford to pay fines is both unconstitutional and cruel – it takes a tremendous toll on precisely those families already struggling the most&lt;/em&gt;.” &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maureen O’Connor, Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, told the ACLU on Wednesday that she would investigate the matter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ACLU reported that 22% of all bookings in the Huron County jail between May 2012 and October 2012 were in some way related to an inmate’s failure to pay a court debt. The Outskirts of Hope also indicates that between July 15 and August 31, 2012, Parma Municipal Court (in suburban Cleveland) jailed at least 45 defendants for their inability to pay a fine while a Sandusky court locked up 75 people for the same reason.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that it costs Ohio taxpayers between $50 and $75 to jail person for one night. With an average fine of around $900, in some cases that cost eventually totals more than the unpaid fine itself. Seemingly unaware of the report, Parma Municipal Court judge Deanna O’Donnell told reporters that if there was evidence to prove the ACLU’s claim, then the courts would “&lt;em&gt;fix it&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Still, despite only focusing on seven counties, ACLU Director of Communications and Public Policy Mike Brickner warned that the problem is widespread across Ohio.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;Not only are those courts violating the law, they are losing money doing it&lt;/em&gt;,” he said. “&lt;em&gt;These practices are legally prohibited, morally questionable, and financially unsound. Nevertheless, they appear to be alive and well in Ohio. It’s like something out of a Charles Dickens novel&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://laurennicoleroth.tumblr.com/post/47476471269</link><guid>http://laurennicoleroth.tumblr.com/post/47476471269</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:04:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"ah yes a critique of margaret thatcher depicting her wearing pants. i too criticize fascists via..."</title><description>““ah yes a critique of margaret thatcher depicting her wearing pants. i too criticize fascists via 19th century gender codes””&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://twitter.com/kleptomik" target="_blank"&gt;https://twitter.com/kleptomik&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://laurennicoleroth.tumblr.com/post/47476376172</link><guid>http://laurennicoleroth.tumblr.com/post/47476376172</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:03:27 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e6faf4991df9052620043e4b9b16d01e/tumblr_mj97wwGsPv1r413v1o2_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/60ff4683149f572181c861e1b9ec6bc9/tumblr_mj97wwGsPv1r413v1o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c33d9f004d5f1992fbf4c625498300e7/tumblr_mj97wwGsPv1r413v1o3_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/44da186bd09b78460dc4deb4d2b91a6a/tumblr_mj97wwGsPv1r413v1o4_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/de3429c0a9603acf4bbfef6e096e2d8d/tumblr_mj97wwGsPv1r413v1o5_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://laurennicoleroth.tumblr.com/post/47476246689</link><guid>http://laurennicoleroth.tumblr.com/post/47476246689</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:01:50 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Twitter, hate speech, and the costs of keeping quiet | Internet &amp; Media - CNET News</title><description>&lt;a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57578140-93/twitter-hate-speech-and-the-costs-of-keeping-quiet/"&gt;Twitter, hate speech, and the costs of keeping quiet | Internet &amp; Media - CNET News&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://laurennicoleroth.tumblr.com/post/47476012029</link><guid>http://laurennicoleroth.tumblr.com/post/47476012029</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:58:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Geek School: Learn to Use Remoting in PowerShell</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.howtogeek.com/138624/geek-school-learn-to-use-remoting-in-powershell/"&gt;Geek School: Learn to Use Remoting in PowerShell&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;One of the best features PowerShell offers is the ability to remotely manage your Servers.

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;veil of ignorance&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_position" title="Original position" target="_blank"&gt;original position&lt;/a&gt; are concepts introduced by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harsanyi" title="John Harsanyi" target="_blank"&gt;John Harsanyi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil_of_ignorance#cite_note-1" target="_blank"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil_of_ignorance#cite_note-2" target="_blank"&gt;[2]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; and later appropriated by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rawls" title="John Rawls" target="_blank"&gt;John Rawls&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Theory_of_Justice" title="A Theory of Justice" target="_blank"&gt;A Theory of Justice&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil_of_ignorance#cite_note-3" target="_blank"&gt;[3]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil_of_ignorance#cite_note-4" target="_blank"&gt;[4]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; It is a method of determining the&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality" title="Morality" target="_blank"&gt;morality&lt;/a&gt; of a certain issue (e.g., &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery" title="Slavery" target="_blank"&gt;slavery&lt;/a&gt;) based upon the following &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought_experiment" title="Thought experiment" target="_blank"&gt;thought experiment&lt;/a&gt;: parties to the original position know nothing about their particular abilities, tastes, and position within the social order of society.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;veil of ignorance&lt;/em&gt; blocks off this knowledge, such that one does not know what burdens and benefits of social cooperation might fall to him/her once the veil is lifted. With this knowledge blocked, parties to the original position must decide on principles for the distribution of rights, positions and resources in their society. As Rawls put it, “…no one knows his place in society, his class position or social status; nor does he know his fortune in the distribution of natural assets and abilities, his intelligence and strength, and the like”.&lt;sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-5"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil_of_ignorance#cite_note-5" target="_blank"&gt;[5]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; The idea then, is to render moot those personal considerations that are morally irrelevant to the justice or injustice of principles meant to allocate the benefits of social cooperation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example, in the imaginary society, one might or might not be intelligent, rich, or born into a preferred class. Since one may occupy any position in the society once the veil is lifted, the device forces the parties to consider society from the perspective of all members, including the worst-off and best-off members.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;An application of the &lt;em&gt;veil of ignorance&lt;/em&gt; towards a recognition of the worst-off members of society is captured in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi" title="Mahatma Gandhi" target="_blank"&gt;Mahatma Gandhi&lt;/a&gt;’s Talisman, given in 1948.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I will give you a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talisman" title="Talisman" target="_blank"&gt;talisman&lt;/a&gt;. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him. Will he gain anything by it? Will it restore him to a control over his own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away.”&lt;sup class="Template-Fact"&gt;[&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources from December 2012"&gt;citation needed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The veil of ignorance is part of the long tradition of thinking in terms of a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_contract" title="Social contract" target="_blank"&gt;social contract&lt;/a&gt;.
