He kept the larger deer and told a friend he’d give him the other one. Okumus said he wrapped the doe in plastic, took it to the pizza shop and left it in the back area of the kitchen, hoping the friend would pick it up on his way home from his job in Allentown.
Okumus, who had the day off yesterday, said he went home and was called back by employees who said the health department was there, and not for the pizza.
As Argentine factories go bankrupt and shut their doors, workers are breaking in, starting the machines up again, electing their own leaders, and running the businesses themselves, putting up fierce resistance when the police try to evict them.
I always thought at a transnational look at Argentina and the USA would be fascinating, so reading this is certainly interesting compared to the article from yesterday. Also, it makes me rethink all about for the different histories of the forms of resistance I have been reading this semester. Thanks Hanvnah for the link 
About 200 employees of Republic Windows and Doors began their sit-in Friday, the last scheduled day of the plant’s operation.
Leah Fried, an organizer with the United Electrical Workers, said the Chicago-based vinyl window manufacturer failed to give 60 days’ notice required by law before shutting down.
Workers also were angered when company officials didn’t show up for a meeting Friday that had been arranged by U.S. Rep Luis Gutierrez, a Chicago Democrat, she said.
During the peaceful takeover, workers have been shoveling snow and cleaning the building, Fried said.
“We’re doing something we haven’t since the 1930s, so we’re trying to make it work,” Fried said.
We’ll see…
On Nov. 18, Bernstein was discussing the conditions under which African captives were taken to America in slave ships. She bound the two students’ hands and feet with tape and had them crawl under a desk to simulate the experience, Monahan and Shand said. Monahan said the girls were not the only blacks in the class.
Gabrielle Shand burst into tears at home, her mother said.
“There are other ways to demonstrate slavery,” Christine Shand said Friday. “It doesn’t matter the color of the kids, it’s just not right to tie them up. My daughter is still upset, still embarrassed. She didn’t go to school today.”
Wow. I can understand why these children’s parents would be upset! There is nothing wrong with the usual just lecturing about slavery…clearly.
Wow, the last half of November disappeared but for many good reasons

What it says about you:
You’re connected to your past and value the things that have happened to you. You’ve had some conflicted times in your life, but they’ve brought you to where you are today and you don’t ignore it.
Sunday Styles and Weddings Section left me with a bitter taste in my mouth after CA passed Prop 8.
Kyle Frederick Reed and Carl Rudolph Fischer IV affirmed their partnership Saturday evening at the Foundry, an event space in Long Island City, Queens. The Rev. Leslie Harry, an interfaith minister, led the commitment ceremony. via
Though this couple had a commintment ceremony not a formal ceremony (because they cannot in the state of NY), the legal standing of their relationship is still haunted by Proposition 8. And honestly I believe my marriage is haunted by it. It so sad and unfair that couples who have been together much longer than my husband and me cannot get married. Of course, I have heard many gay and straight people say they don’t want to be defined by an outdated custom/ ritual that they believe marriage is. I respect that so, so much.
Can Obama repeal prop 8 at all? I know he can’t do it state by state. What happens to all of these marriages?
I do not use skype or twitter.
I don’t really understand how either works (Though I have a much better idea of how twitter works then skype.) But I have come to conclusions as to why I don’t need to use them.
