It is a waste of time. Here in Lagos, time waits for no one. Crossing the main road is much faster if I can avoid the vehicles.

| + | == I Didn’t Change My Name After Marriage, and Neither Should == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>When I got married in 2007, there was no discussion between my fiancé and me over whether I’d change my last name to match his. Not because we’d made an unspoken agreement to unite behind his slightly clunky, three-syllable surname; on the contrary, I made the choice years before that I would never, ever change my name to match my husband’s. And unlike some decisions I made as a strident, self-righteous teenager, the decision to keep my name is one I’ve never regretted. (Especially considering that we got divorced four years later―changing my name back was one less thing to worry about amid the crazy stress of separating.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | But not everyone feels the same way: In a of 1,000 people conducted by YouGov, 61 percent of those surveyed stated that they think a women should take her husband’s after marriage. (Yikes.) And the number of women who actually keep their maiden names after marriage is shrinking: Various have that anywhere from 8 to 18 percent of women don’t change their names,[http://sp1wiki.space-pioneers.eu/index.php?title=Benutzer:Ltbsrubhsmi#Costco.27s_Second_0 Costco's Second 0], down from about 23 percent in the ’90s. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I thought of all this while reading Pamela Paul’s recent essay in the New York Times, about her struggle with the whole name-change issue. “Like others wanting it both ways,” she writes, “I held on to my professional name while also taking on my husband’s.” Paul―who wrote The Starter Marriage, so she’s something of an expert on the subject―describes the challenges inherent to having it both ways, both legally (on things like tax returns and passports), and within her own family. “My young children are all in a permanent state of confusion about the bylines they see under one name and the family name we use at home,” she explains. “Isn’t our shared name part of what unites us as a family? Why would I want to set myself apart?” | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now more than ever, there’s an opportunity to redefine what the “family name” means. It doesn’t have to be just about a woman changing her identity; it can be about whatever the couple wants. | ||
| + | My ex and I never had kids, so I never had to answer that question. And I don’t begrudge Paul her choice; it’s her life, and not my place to judge, even if I wouldn’t make the same decision. What does bother me is the fact that it’s 2013, and for all the strides that women have made―socially, culturally, politically, everywhere―we’re still expected to change such a fundamental part of ourselves, simply because we got married. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are a few reasons why buying into this retrograde notion doesn’t make much sense anymore. For one thing, more women than ever are marrying later, when they’re already established in a career under a maiden name. My personal politics aside, I’ve built up a career and a reputation as a Plitt, and I didn’t want to lose that identity―it’d just be confusing. Furthermore, as gay marriage becomes more and more widespread―hooray!―the conventions of hetereosexual marriage, such as wives taking husband’s names, don’t have to be the norm. It’s silly at best, and exclusionary at worst. | ||
| + | |||
| + | And let’s face it, men never get this kind of pressure. About a year after I married, I got into an argument with a (male) coworker who called me selfish for keeping my own name. As far as I know,[Nike http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/nfl-jerseys-new-york-giants-c-598_657], my ex-husband never once got the same reaction―that would have been totally unthinkable. Historically, the reasons for and consequences of name-changing were pretty vile; a noted that “the laws of various states have deprived women of rights, such as retaining their driver’s license and voter registration, if they did not assume the surname of their husband.” That’s changed, thankfully, but it illustrates my biggest problem: the whole convention is rooted in sexism, and the idea that a woman is little more than an extension of her husband. There isn’t really any good reason why a dude can’t take his future wife’s last name, other than the fact that society might disapprove. | ||
| + | |||
| + | And then there’s the issue of the “family name.” After marriage and having kids, couples―like Paul and her husband―may want to be united under a common moniker. And that’s totally fine! But now more than ever, there’s an opportunity to redefine what the “family name” means. It doesn’t have to be just about a woman changing her identity; it can be about whatever the couple wants. Hyphenating? Making a portmanteau out of your last names? Choosing a brand-new surname altogether? Sure, why not? But let’s stop having an outdated,[Official http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/nfl-jerseys-c-598], sexist custom drive the decision-making. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Look at probably the most famous and awesome married folks in the world right now: Beyoncé and Jay-Z. As the Cut earlier this year, both members of that power couple legally changed their surnames to Carter-Knowles, creating a family unit that represents them both equally. If Bey and Jay can embrace a more progressive, egalitarian path on the name-changing front, perhaps the rest of us should follow suit. | ||

| + | == Donald Rumsfeld and Errol Morris’ UNKNOWN KNOWN == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>The controversy over Errol Morris’ UNKNOWN KNOWN,[http://wiki.vagasestacio.com.br/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio%3ALbzfvllzefu#Northern_Illinois_vs._Iowa_2013-_Game_Preview Northern Illinois vs. Iowa 2013- Game Preview], which debuted the other night at the Venice Film Festival — and will no doubt be coming to a theater near you — will turn on the issue of whether Morris let Rumsfeld get away with too much, that he didn’t press him hard enough. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To an extent, this is true.? Morris doesn’t confront him with things he says that are clearly untrue, with instances in which he insists he never said things that he most certainly did, and with the policies, that he championed, that led to disaster.? The one glaring omission, a surprising one, is that he doesn’t talk about Rumsfeld’s theory of warfare, his insistence on a small invading force, which was fine for overthrowing the government but insufficient for maintaining (or enforcing) peace in Iraq. | ||
| + | |||
| + | However, this is a movie quite different from THE FOG OF WAR,[New http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/], Morris’s film length study of another defense secretary, Robert McNamara.? That film was specifically about the issue and facts of the Vietnam war, as illuminated by MacNamara’s perspective,[Nike http://www.nfljerseysfor2013.com/nfl-jerseys-new-york-giants-c-598_657], and it’s pretty safe to say that Morris was more or less in MacNamara’s corner on that one, that he (more or less) believed him and shared his point of view. | ||
| + | |||
| + | UNKNOWN KNOWN is not about the facts so much as it’s a study of one particular personality — one of the personalities behind a foreign policy calamity.? Instead of agreeing or sympathizing with Rumsfeld, Morris’s challenge is to cover over his own disapproval, enough to create an environment in which Rumsfeld can feel safe enough to reveal himself.? He gets Rumsfeld to perform.? Apparently, Rumsfeld wrote 20,000 memos while serving as Secretary of Defense between 2001 and 2006, and Morris persuades him (you get the feeling it didn’t take much persuasion) to read many of them out loud.? Rumsfeld’s voice is all over the soundtrack. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I’ll say more in the review, but one of the interesting things about the movie is that Rumsfeld is an engaging, witty personality.? This is inescapable.? And yet after a while the personality reveals deeper layers.? So does the mind.? He goes from being a likable, thinking person to seeming like a colossal narcissist, one who thinks and analyzes and questions, but in circles, and to no avail. | ||
| + | |||
| + | People walk out of the movie thinking, “Oh, that man is awful — but I’m sure everybody else will love him.”? That in a way is Morris’s sneaky achievement.? I doubt anyone will come away loving Rumsfeld, at least no one who watches more than a half hour of the movie.</html> | ||

| + | == Arizona Cardinals 0 == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>***Author's Note: We're going to need some "Rec'd-s" to keep this article up all week.*** | ||
| + | |||
| + | The elevation of the NFC West to the top of the NFL food chain has been years in the making. Led by media-darlings and ,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/ nike nfl wholesale jerseys], the two other teams in the division just aren't getting the love. How quickly the NFL world forgets the four game win-streak Arizona had to start the 2012 season. Marked as an aberration, most point at the litany of quarterback woes when they recall last season. Funny,[http://www.soeren-kaiser.de/mediawiki-1.19.0/index.php?title=Benutzer:Lyxfngkkwju#Business_etiquette_every_entrepreneur_should_know_0 Business etiquette every entrepreneur should know 0], but I seem to remember a top notch defense more than & Co., but maybe I'm different? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Welcome to the first pregame thread of the 2013 NFL season. I'm an editor and writer for Turf Show Times,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/washington-redskins-c-5 redskins jersey], the SBNation home for all things . I'm a fan of Jess Root and ROTB, dropping in a few times a week to see what's new with the Cardinals. I write mostly features for TST, . | ||
| + | |||
| + | This year, the Rams and Cardinals face off early on the 2013 schedule. Personally, I'd have been happier if this contest happened later in the season. Both teams are in transformation stages, with veteran/second year head coach Jeff Fisher for the Rams, and rookie Bruce Arians taking the helm in Arizona. These two coaches have loads in common if you think about it. What I like most though, is their ability to gather experienced coaching staffs. When Jonathan Cooper went down to injury, I knew Arians would barely blink an eye. His campaign as interim head coach in Indianapolis for Chuck Pagano, featured the Arians led attacking the waiver wire more than any other team in the NFL in 2012. The man knows talent, and showed he's willing to keep looking until he finds the right pieces. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Some questions come to mind about the 2013 Cardinals, the first of which is how can their defense make up for the loss of Daryl Washington. One of my favorite NFL players, I consider him in the top two or three at his position in the NFL. You have a new defensive coordinator? How does his defense look when compared to the Ray Horton version in 2012? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Arizona has one of the best wide receiver corps in the NFL. The possible addition of to offensive schemes is going to eat into possible opportunities for Fitz and Co. I'm not sure if this is a good, or bad thing? Thoughts? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Do you have any questions about the 2013 St. Louis Rams? Ask away in the comments, and I'll do my best to answer you. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I'll be stopping in all week to ask and answer questions, and will be inviting the Turf Show Times community to drop in too. Should any of them forget they're guests of ROTB, please don't hesitate to let me know.</html> | ||

| + | == Minister Charges NGOs on Active Health Enlightenment, Articl == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html> <br> | ||
| + | Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu has charged NGOs in the country to embark on active health enlightenment campaign to improve the nation s health sector. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The minister who was represented by the Chief Medical Director, Federal Medical Centre, Ebutte Meta, Dr. Yewande Jinadu made the call at the formal presentation of the Dr.Moses Majekodunmi Foundation in collaboration with the St. Nicholas Hospital in Lagos.<br> | ||
| + | The minister noted that the formal presentation of the foundation was the best way to honour a man who was a former minister of health in the first republic and had contributed his quota to the healthcare delivery during his time. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Which other way can we show deep respect and honour to a man who during his days laid the foundation of preventive health, educating and promoting healthcare? This also serves as a wakeup call to NGOs that are engaged in health issues, for them to truly play out their roles alongside with the efforts of the federal government in other to promote the well being of the citizens, Chukwu said.<br> | ||
| + | Acknowledging the 13-year-old foundation as one that has achieved remarkable feat,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/washington-redskins-c-5 cheap redskins jerseys],[http://akanad.havike.eenet.ee/mediawiki/index.php/Kasutaja:Ldrmhttxtrn#Jawz_Journey-_The_Video_Diary_of_First Jawz Journey- The Video Diary of First], the Chairman of the Foundation, Chief Olufemi Majekodumi indicated that they had over the years, focused their spotlight on medical issues centered on women and infant wellbeing and also to impact on the lives and welfare of Nigerians through health education. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Chief Dr. Majekodunmi was greatly passionate about the need for education at all levels of society. He was especially concerned about the education of medical students and the encouragement of those studying obstetrics and gynaecology. | ||
| + | |||
| + | So in line with this,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/ wholesale nike nfl jerseys], the Foundation will, in accordance with his wishes, institute the Dr. Moses Majekodunmi Prize for Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Universities of Lagos, Ibadan, Ahmadu Bello and Nsukka. And also collaborate with the Colleges of Medicine to award scholarship to deserving students, Majekodumi stated. | ||
| + | |||
| + | At the event that ran in sessions, Dr.M.Kwenin of St.Nicholas Hospital took time out to enlighten guests on colorectal cancer, also known as colon cancer afflicting both men and women. | ||
| + | |||
| + | He stated that colon cancer is the number two cancer killer in the US after lung cancer and affects both sexes, the best known prevention is screening which should begin for Nigerians at the age of 40 years.</html> | ||
