Re: [tips] How To Watch Your F'n' Language
If you look for tea baggers in google images, you come up with a lot more than *one* guy holding a sign. There are a lot of different photos of protesters referring to tea bags and tea baggers. [Apologies to the squeamish: there are also some unsavory photos that refer to the original meaning of tea bagging as discussed in an earlier post.] Beth Benoit Granite State College Plymouth State University New Hampshire --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.

But as you point out, there was ONE guy with ONE sign at a rally in February that used the term teabag and there was a libertarian website that used the phrase Tea Bag as a verb in a headline for a story that advocated mailing tea bags to elected officials. Perhaps the one guy with the sign was in on the joke, but none of these folks referred to themselves as teabaggers - ever. And though the article you provided says that early tea partiers embraced the term, it's only real evidence is the one guy with the one sign - oh, and an NRO column wondering whether Tea Partiers should embrace or reject the term. So, I think I'll stand by my opinion of Maddow.

RE: [tips] Professor fired.
Didn't have time to verify beyond two sources. The University is also stating that he's been suspended twice before for inappropriate conduct. And termination wasn't just for those comments. From Gainesville.com An accompanying investigation found that he behaved inappropriately toward female students and made a mockery of the sexual harassment lesson, with one witness claiming he made an inappropriate comment about how Latin American women dress. Food and resource economic Chairman Ray Huffaker wrote in the termination letter that Taylor previously had been suspended twice for inappropriate interactions with female students, most recently in 2008, and warned that any remotely similar incidents would result in him being fired. A grievance is being filed. He's claiming academic freedom and free speech is being violated. Stay tuned. . . Tim ___ Timothy O.

RE: [tips] Professor fired.
Hi Michael: Well, I think that we cant generalize that statement. Some latinas dress conservative too, I dont know if there are statistics on this subject. In northern South America, Central America, and Southern North America, we dont have seasons so most of the time you have hot weather (unless you live in higher mountains). This can influence the way people choose their clothes and fashion tendencies most of the time. For example, people in Bogotá (8357 feet) dress differently from people in Medellin (4822 feet) or Barranquilla (0 feet). Maybe the teachers experience with Latinas makes him think like that, so maybe its a prejudice. What Im wondering about is why was that considered an offensive comment. Or what is the meaning of provocative then. If you say something like that in Colombia I dont think that it would be a reason for fire a teacher, just something to discuss about and maybe make some research. Or maybe we dont know other details about that event. For now these are my two cents.

[tips] Creepy new mobile phone possibilities
Over the weekend I was reading about an iphone app that uses GPS determine when an alcoholic (who has the app on his phone) is near an area where there are a lot of bars. The app then pops up a warning on the phone's screen which suggests that the person avoid this area (and so avoid temptation). So is this next: a mobile phone app that “knows” the layout of your campus and the disciplines housed in each building such that when the student enters the psychology building, the phone could pop up homework reminders or a calendar of upcoming tests?

Re: [tips] Professor fired.
Being the x-cultural dude Michael S. should be able to point me in the right direction here. Wasn't it a recognized 'fact' a while ago (70's?) that young Latina women behaved more seductively and provocatively than your average young american women and that the young american men took the behavior as a come on? But that it was explained as a cultural difference and as an example of the types of problems that can arise in mult-cultural classrooms? I wonder if one would be fired today for consistently pointing out cultural differences of this sort. --Mike --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.
