Kerry James Marshall: Mementos

... more
June 1998: Painter Kerry James Marshall's installation Mementos will be on view in the Blum Gallery and Lobby Gallery at the Brooklyn Museum of Art September 11 through November 29, 1998. The exhibition marks the largest presentation of Marshall's work in New York to date.
Components of Mementos include video images projected within a structure, sculptural objects and paintings, photographs, and prints. In the Blum Gallery, the video installation Laid to Rest will consist of black-and-white historic footage of civil rights demonstrations projected inside a mausoleum-like structure and surrounded by photographs and artificial funeral-parlor floral arrangements. Five freestanding, four-foot-high wooden stamps carved with prominent maxims by civil rights activists and notable leaders of the 1960s will stand in various positions on the gallery floor. The artist will generate prints by inking the stamps with 40 x 60-inch inkpads and pressing them on paper. The video installation and some sculptural objects will be on view for the first time.
The installation includes three large unstretched banner-like paintings referred to by the artist as the Souvenir Series. The paintings evoke Marshall's regard for the history of painting and nod to baroque religious imagery in an angelic pantheon of significant figures in the African-American struggle for equality.
Marshall's paintings are saturated with intricate and symbolically complex commentaries on the lives of the black community of the present and the recent past. Mementos was conceived as a requiem for events marking social and civil rights efforts in 1960s America in contrast to where Americans are almost forty years later.
Mr. Marshall is a MacArthur Fellowship recipient who currently lives in Chicago. His work has been included in the Whitney Biennial and Documenta. He was production designer on a feature film by Julie Dash, Daughters of the Dust, and recently presented Doppler Incident as part of the Artist in Action series staged by Brooklyn Academy of Music and performed at the Kitchen.
As an African-American born in Birmingham, Alabama, in the mid-1950s, Marshall brings to his work memories of the civil rights demonstrations in Birmingham and such tragic developments as the deaths of four young girls in the bombing of Birmingham's Sixteenth Street Baptist Church and the incarceration of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., which led to the Reverend's heralded Letter from a Birmingham Jail. Later, the Marshall family's move to a south-central Los Angeles housing project found them in the center of the 1965 Watts riots, and four years later, Marshall witnessed the aftermath of the Los Angeles Police Department's shootout with members of the Black Panther Party. These early and consistent encounters with social and political turmoil no doubt informed his course as an artist, and it was in Los Angeles that he enrolled in and graduated from the Otis Art Institute.
In the Lobby Gallery, the installation is supplemented by the Scout Series. This group of paintings is based on Marshall's belief that African-Americans are never truly considered American by either society in general or themselves. He asks us to examine stereotypes or, better yet, discard them entirely.
Charlotta Kotik, Curator of Contemporary Art, is organizing the Brooklyn Museum of Art venue of this exhibition, which originated at the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago.
An exhibition catalogue will be designed by Kerry James Marshall in collaboration with Hamza Walker, Director of Education at The Renaissance Society, and Huston A. Baker, Jr., will write the lead essay on the artist.
The exhibition is supported by the FUNd at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, created by a gift from the Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation.

60,000 speeders caught in Cockermouth
Last updated at 19:44, Thursday, 10 May 2012
More than 60,000 vehicles have been caught speeding in Cockermouth's 30mph zones over the last four months, new figures reveal.
The information will be used by police to target areas where drivers are most likely to put their foot down.
The highest speed clocked by the town's speed indication device, operated by the rural safety group, was 89mph on Lorton Road.
The device logged 115,000 cars from February.
Other town hot spots included:
l Low Road, with 73 per cent of drivers travelling over 35mph and a highest speed of 81mph
l Lamplugh Road, with 49 per cent travelling over 35mph and a highest speed of 63mph
l Castlegate Drive, past Cockermouth School, with 36 per cent and highest speed of 69mph
l Gote Road, with 55 per cent travelling above 35mph and highest speed of 61mph.
Peter Wilkinson, of Sunscales Avenue, a group member, has been responsible for moving the device to the locations.
He converted the data, which has been passed to police.
Mr Wilkinson said: "There is obviously a speeding problem in Cockermouth.
"Every day I see people on Lorton Road going past my house at 60mph to 70mph. You see people going out of town accelerating away.
"People were getting frustrated with the lack of progress and not doing anything about speeding as the police don't seem to have the resources to try and tackle it."
The device collects data from individual cars in the form of speed and time but does not identify the vehicle.
It has been programmed to not show speeds above 45mph to discourage motorists from setting a high number as they drive past.
Inspector Dennis Kelly, of Cumbria police, said: "The data provided will help us to concentrate on problem hot spots for speeding and making drivers aware of the dangers they put themselves and others in when they speed."
Geoff Walker, headteacher at Cockermouth School, said: "At peak times there can be the movement of 1,600 pupils, students and staff along Castlegate Drive so the speed limit must be adhered to at all times."
Len Davies, chairman of the rural safety group, said: "We cannot just ignore the situation.
"I certainly hope the police respond. They are quite impressed with the information we have gathered and said it will be of assistance to them in trying to address the issue."

Have your say
This is a lie
60000 motorists have not been caught speeding.
They have been recorded at driving at a speed that can not been virified due to the fact that these sighns are not calibrated to the accuracy required to provide a conviction.
Lets have the correct information please T&S
Here we go again, another headline to support the fact that the poor motorist is being fleeced of his cash.
Lets get one thing striaight, if speeding is a serious issue then put police there and police it.
This is another piece of propaganda that is aimed at creating a argument to make it acceptable to continue to price the motorist of the road.

Glad she told the truth.
NEW YORK -- President John F. Kennedy openly scorned the notion of Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson succeeding him in office, according to a book of newly-released interviews with his widow, former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy.
In the interviews, she also called civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. "terrible," "tricky" and "a phony."
"This book shows Jackie Kennedy unplugged," historian and CBS News analyst Douglas Brinkley told "Early Show" co-anchor Erica Hill Monday.
He said, "A lot of the rawness of her feelings, I think, as a young woman -- she's is only in her 30s when she is doing these tapes in 1964 -- is very different from the more poised and discrete Jackie Kennedy we got to know in the 1980s and 1990s."
She said her husband and his brother, then-Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, a longtime LBJ antagonist, even discussed ways to prevent Johnson from winning the Democratic nomination in a future contest.
The book, "Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy," includes a series of interviews the former first lady gave to historian and former Kennedy aide Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. shortly after her husband was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963.
Over seven sessions, she recalled conversations on topics ranging from her husband's reading habits to the botched Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba.
JFK increased the U.S. presence in Vietnam throughout his brief administration, adding military advisers to help train the South Vietnamese military. Johnson, as president, would later commit ground troops to the conflict despite initial promises not to. Historians still debate whether Kennedy would have done the same.
Jacqueline Kennedy spoke skeptically of King.
She called him "tricky" and a "phony" after hearing about FBI tapes of him and a woman in his hotel room, while noting that JFK had urged her not to be judgmental. (JFK's own adulterous affairs weren't yet widely known.)

Personal Shopping for Freya's Competition Winner! 0
On Monday I spent the day with lucky Rachel Venn, Age 18 from Devon who won Freya's fabulous prize, as seen in GLAMOUR magazine's January Issue. Rachel had entered Freya's competition on the website, where the 2 minutes she took to enter the competition paid off big time when it won her flights to and from Manchester, an amazing stay at a very swanky suite at The Hilton in Manchester, where she was taxi'd to The Trafford Centre Shopping Mall (wearing her new Freya underwear set – also part of the prize) with £500 spends burning a hole in a pocket! Phew. Talk about every woman's dream prize! More

This magnet for arty types is a centre for music, film, dance and drink, and every surface has been welded or moulded, gallery-style, into what is the city's hippest art bar - and a raw and laid-back one at that, altogether unpretentious.

Which elevating devices require a Certificate of Operation?All elevators, wheelchair/stairway lifts, escalators, moving walks, dumbwaiters and limited use, limited access devices (LULA) in Broward County require a Certificate of Operation.
Do elevating devices require an annual inspection?Yes, elevating devices must be tested for safety compliance annually. It is your responsibility to hire a licensed elevator maintenance company to perform these tests within one year of your last inspection. All elevating devices must pass an annual inspection, with any violations corrected, before a Certificate of Operation is issued.Back to TopWhat happens if the annual inspection is not performed?Failure to have your device inspected may subject you to penalties and fines and, if necessary, it may be shut down.
What happens if violations are found during an annual inspection?All violations are noted on the inspection report. We will mail the yellow copy of the inspection report to you as notice of the violations and the pink copy to your maintenance company. View the last annual inspection violation(s) for your device(s).
How soon must the violations be corrected?You must correct all violations and notify us within 90 days of the inspection. You must correct all violations before a current Certificate of Operation is issued.
What if the violations are not corrected within 90 days or at all?Failure to comply within 90-days may subject you to penalties and fines and, if necessary, your device may be shut down.
Who is responsible for correcting the violations?You are responsible for correcting all violations; however, your elevator maintenance contract may cover repair of some or all violations. You should contact your elevator company to determine who is responsible: you, the elevator company or both.Back to TopWhat happens after all the violations are corrected?Once all violations are corrected, you or your building manager must sign and date the bottom of the yellow copy of the inspection report guaranteeing that all violations were corrected and then return the report within 90 days of the inspection to us. If your device has an expired Certificate of Operation, we will issue a new certificate once the renewal fee is paid and any other applicable issues have been resolved.
What if correcting certain violations requires more time than 90 days?We can assist in seeking a Temporary Variance, which may extend your time to comply beyond 90 days.
What is a Variance?It is official permission from us extending the 90-day period mandated by Florida law, in which you can make all necessary repairs and corrections to your elevating device.
Is it necessary to keep all owner contact information current with the Elevator Section?Yes it is. We should be able to contact you to determine and ensure the safe operation of your device. Failure to keep your information and elevator maintenance company information current may subject you to administrative fines and any other penalty provided by law.

NXT Software problems
Error #1: "The installation hangs on install, and if I install the components seperately, the software complains of "Unable to open resource files"
Error #2: "The CD autorun works fine and I select the directory, accept the licensing agreement, etc. etc. and all looks fine, but it stalls on the progress screen (it's the screen with two progress bars and the one on top says "Overall Progress"). It just stalls out. Nothing happens. I can click cancel and it will cancel the operation, so I know the software hasn't frozen on me. I tried restarting the computer, tried two different computers, tried copying the contents of the CD to my HDD and installing, but always the same thing happens. "

The second one just sounds like a bad CD, there would be a bigger mass of complaints if it were the software itself.

Not much help here but I have my Laptop. (Acer 5670)

I've had the same problem on two different computers. The first attempt to install hangs on the progress screen. After I cancel, and then stop the "msixxxx.tmp" process in Task Manager, I can reinstall again and it works the second time.

I should also add, after the NXT LabView software is installed, the Robo Center step-by-step instructions do not display properly. I can see the controls but not the actual diagrams of the construction steps. (They DO work if I open the HTML files directly in Firefox.)

Reader Scott posted the comment below message on an old June post and I doubt many will find it. I'm copying it, word-for-word, here.
OK, I hope this helps everyone with that nasty klicking and useless nxt block.
Santa brought ours on Christmas and everything was fine until good old Dad tried to update the firmware to v1.04. The block came with 1.01 installed and performed an update to v1.03 when we hooked it up to the computer.
We are an Apple family and have 3 computers all of the powerPC generation. Our son uses his to do his nxt programming. He has a 14" iBook G4. I have a first generation 12" Powerbook G4 (867 MHz). I'm telling you this because others on the blog have tried using other computers to solve their clicking dead nxt blocks.
Anyway, here is what I did to solve the problem. I did what everyone else on this blog reported worked and had no luck. What worked however is this—start with disconnecting your nxt block from all of the sensor wires and motor wires. Pull the battery out and count to 10 or more. Replace the battery. Do a hard reset—use a heavy wire paperclip to push the button inside the Technic hole in the upper left corner of the nxt block, it's just below the USB outlet. Remember hold the button down for at least 10 seconds. Your going to get the clicking sound again but that's OK. You want that. As others have reported, this means that the block is ready to be updated.
What I did from here is start from scratch. I turned off the BT connection on my computer. I reloded the Lego software to the computer. Then I went on line to the Lego Mindstorms update site http://mindstorms.lego.com/support/updates/ there I found an update: MINDSTORMS NXT Driver v1.02 "This software updates the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT driver and addresses an issue that prevents the firmware from being downloaded to the NXT on some occasions."
I followed these instructions provided by Lego: "When you have installed the new driver and want to download new firmware to the NXT, please initialize the NXT brick before you start downloading the firmware. If your NXT is clicking when you insert batteries, push the hardware reset button for five seconds before you insert the USB cable. This will ensure that the brick initializes correctly for the firmware download. The hardware reset button is located within the LEGO Technic hole below the USB connector on the NXT brick. If your NXT brick is not clicking when you insert batteries just go through the normal firmware download process as described within the manual when the new driver is installed."
I then launched the nxt software and performed the upgrade: go to Tools > Update NXT Firmware. Your User Guide explains all this on pages 74 and 75. I only upgraded to v1.03 which comes with the CD Install Disk. It worked fine when I we first installed so it should work fine now. And if you read the firmware upgrade for v1.04 it says:
Updating to LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Firmware V1.04 will improve the following:
- Multiple datafile control within user programs
- Communication with 3rd party external devices
- Bluetooth communication within user programs
NOTE: Only update your firmware if you have experienced issues related to the above
So unless you are experiencing these issues I'd leave well enough alone. "Son, do as I say not as I do."
There must be a USB driver issue and the driver is missing in v1.03. You have to download and load this driver update and the USB connection works.
Take your time and don't throw your nxt across the room and you'll be OK. (I didn't pitch it across the room only because my son was with me, keep your kid next to you at all times, they're presence will likely prevent you from making rash and destructive mistakes)
Good luck! Oh, I am still waiting to hear from Lego on this issue.
- Jan 1, 2007, 7:25:00 AM
I have a problem that it says something about fatal error when it tries to load the installer! Any halp?
- Jan 2, 2007, 6:57:00 PM
Have had similar issue - Install CD from the set does not execute at all in Windows XP SP2 (Autorun.exe or Setup.exe). Received differing error messages, but most of the time, the software simply hangs up and closes.
- Jan 2, 2007, 11:11:00 PM
I had the 2nd problem (stalled after the progress bar appeared) and solved it by updating to the latest Windows XP Server Pack (SP2). It worked fine thereafter.
- Jan 3, 2007, 3:30:00 AM
I emailed lego technical support about my query. They said there was a defect in my nxt set. They said I will have to pick a new one up from somewhere. I hope I get to keep the old nxt set!
- Jan 3, 2007, 11:23:00 AM
hey, i've also had trouble viewing the building instructions in the Mindstorms NXT software. is there any fix for this?
- Feb 21, 2007, 6:34:00 AM
For resolving the #1 problem, simply open the task manager and stops MSI929.TMP the instalation process will continue.
- Dec 26, 2007, 8:03:00 PM
- Daniel said...
Thanx for the posts. I have a slightly different problem. My brick hangs occationally both on firmware 1.03 and 1.05. NO CLICKING SOUND.
The only solution is to disconnect the power-source for at least an hour. Aleratively it works to disconnect the power source and short-circuit + and - to drain the device from any lingering change. Works every time.
Does anyone know what state the brick is in when it is completely dead and not clicking?
- Sep 18, 2008, 10:35:00 PM

can anyone say what resource files cannot be opened?

Exact same symptoms for me on one of three "new" (via Craigslist) team laptops, when installing on a freshly installed and updated Windows XP Service Pack 3. Same symptoms with a separate CD (installation froze at the same point), and also worked fine on the other two laptops, who knows why.
What solved the problem on the first laptop was to not try to install from the native Administrator account, but rather to create a new account with administrator privileges, log in to that, and then install. Again, it's Windows, who knows why.
Good luck!

Interlinking dozens of the cheap, small electronic brains won't break any computing speed records. But it could help teach people how to program tomorrow's computer systems.
Hardware, software and funding limits mean it's not easy to make the fastest computers even faster. That's too bad for the industries that rely on them.
US Energy Department funds two huge machines that combine IBM and Nvidia chips with Mellanox networking. A further $100 million goes toward making faster next-gen supercomputers.
The pace of performance increases has slowed among the world's fastest supercomputers, while China now has nearly as many as the UK, France, and Germany combined.
Jeff Bakalar tours the Maingear computer headquarters in New Jersey to see how the company custom-builds any computer imaginable -- from entry-level gaming PCs to $12,000 water-cooled powerhouses.
University of Chicago researchers say they used one quarter of the Beagle's operating capacity in conjunction with commercially available software packages to analyze raw sequencing data.
The Internet moves at light speed, but your computer doesn't. Not yet, at least. Doping up some glass to act like fiber optics could change that.
One of the world's most powerful supercomputers has finally done what had seemed impossible: successfully modelled brain activity.
The goal for the newly formed Watson Business Group, featuring the tech that topped "Jeopardy," is to juice the commercial potential of cognitive computing.
The latest list of most-powerful computers is a bit of same old, same old. But soon, it won't be so easy to get ahead on the Top500 list by plugging in special-purpose accelerator cards.

For many companies small and large, now is the time of the year for employees' annual review.
Helpful feedback, effectively delivered, is a leader's best friend. It can support behavioral changes (or strengthening) and can build rapport around the right performance issues.
But too many of us could use some help delivering it; many haven't been trained in how to get this right. And that's too bad, because it's a powerful leadership tool. If giving feedback to employees is part of your role, here's a great checklist you can use to help you give feedback more effectively.

TSA's Full-Body Scanner and Pat-Downs Raise Controversy Among Travelers
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has become a frequent subject of debate on the Internet and in the news recently. The debate is mainly about the full-body scan machines and the pat-downs at the airport security check.
Early this year, according to TSA, it "began deploying 450 advanced imagine technology units, which were purchased with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds." Nevertheless, the issue escalated since TSA, on Oct. 28, 2010, put up a short announcement saying that it was "implementing new pat-down procedures at checkpoints nationwide as one of our many layers of security to keep the traveling public safe."
However, what the TSA website does not mention about the security check is that when going through the full-body scanner, the passenger's image on the screen is almost naked to the machine operator, except the face is blurred.
So what is this full-body scanner? TSA calls it "Advanced Imaging Technology"on its website. According to TSA, they currently implement two types of imaging technology—the millimeter wave and backscatter: "[t]his technology can detect a wide range of threats to transportation security in a matter of seconds to protect passengers and crews."
Since March 2010, TSA started to implement 450 Advanced Imaging Technology units around the United States. Backlash soon came out to oppose this new technology. WeWontFly.com is one of the groups that oppose the full-body scanners. They call it the "porno-scanner" and call for people to "stop flying until the scanners are replaced with real security." To the protestors, the primary concern is that the full-body scanner violates their privacy. On Nov. 16, according to The New York Times, two pilots filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security and the TSA, claiming that the new screening procedures violate Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure.
Another concern from the protestors is the health risk of the full-body scanners. Another website, DontScan.us, points out that, "Backscatter X-ray uses ionizing radiation, a known cumulative health hazard, to produce images of passengers bodies."And for the millimeter wave technology, this Web site says that, "if improperly calibrated can cause burns."Moreover, it also addresses that there is a lack of testing and research information on the potential risks of this technology. However, TSA says on its website that, "Advanced Imaging Technology screening is safe for all passengers, and the technology meets national health and safety standards."
You now have the choice to go through the enhanced pat-downs instead of the full-body scanners. However, chances are you will probably feel surprised, shocked or even "intimidated,"as said by The New York Times, by the level of intimacy of this procedure as it involves a screener giving a firm patting to women's breasts and all travelers' genitals.
Security is definitely a crucial part of our travels. Ever since September 11, 2001, the security at airports has been intensified. In fact, security at the airports is undoubtedly the strictest among all the transportation in the U.S.
Some passengers are in favor of this full-body scan because it is effective to detect and prevent dangerous items from boarding the plane and endanger the lives of the passengers. Also, the operator of the machine actually sits in a private room which ensures the privacy of the passenger's image.
Honestly, I was not very offended by the full-body scanner at first because to me, it is essential for the airport to ensure an environment that is free from any hazard for the passengers. Thus, I would comply with any security check since it makes me feel safe enough to be on a flight. However, after digging into the debate, I started to question who gives the airport the permission to check the passenger's naked body. Just because we paid for the ticket and service does not mean we sell ourselves to have no privacy under the security check. Also, what makes me unsatisfied the most is that TSA lacks detailed information or disclaimer about the exposure of human body in the full-body scan, the extent to which the pat-downs are conducted and the poll it posts on the website that says, "over 99 percent of passengers choose to be screened by this technology over alternative screening procedures" is probably partial as far as I see.
So what do you think? As this semester comes to an end, many of you may need to take an airplane and go home for the holidays. Would you feel comfortable going through either of the security checks? Go to wilsonbillboard.com and share your opinion with us.

Natural law theories have exercised a profound influence on the development of English common law, and have featured greatly in the philosophies of Thomas Aquinas, Francisco Suárez, Richard Hooker, Thomas Hobbes, Hugo Grotius, Samuel von Pufendorf, and John Locke. Because of the intersection between natural law and natural rights, it has been cited as a component in United States Declaration of Independence.
Aristotle's association with natural law is due largely to the interpretation given to his works by Thomas Aquinas. This was based on Aquinas's conflation of natural law and natural right, the latter of which Aristotle posits in Book V of the Nicomachean Ethics (= Book IV of the Eudemian Ethics). Aquinas's influence was such as to affect a number of early translations of these passages, though more recent translations render them more literally. Aristotle notes that natural justice is a species of political justice, viz. the scheme of distributive and corrective justice that would be established under the best political community; were this to take the form of law, this could be called a natural law, though Aristotle does not discuss this and suggests in the Politics that the best regime may not rule by law at all.
The best evidence of Aristotle's having thought there was a natural law comes from the Rhetoric, where Aristotle notes that, aside from the "particular" laws that each people has set up for itself, there is a "common" law that is according to nature. The context of this remark, however, suggests only that Aristotle advised that it could be rhetorically advantageous to appeal to such a law, especially when the "particular" law of one's own city was averse to the case being made, not that there actually was such a law; Aristotle, moreover, considered two of the three candidates for a universally valid, natural law provided in this passage to be wrong. Aristotle's theoretical paternity of the natural law tradition is consequently disputed.
All human laws were to be judged by their conformity to the natural law. An unjust law was in a sense no law at all. At this point, the natural law was not only used to pass judgment on the moral worth of various laws, but also to determine what the law said in the first place. This could result in some tension.
The natural law was inherently deontological in that although it is aimed at goodness, it is entirely focused on the ethicalness of actions, rather than the consequence. The specific content of the natural law was therefore determined by a conception of what things constituted happiness, be they temporal satisfaction or salvation. The state, in being bound by the natural law, was conceived as an institution directed at bringing its subjects to true happiness. In the 16th century, the School of Salamanca (Francisco Suárez, Francisco de Vitoria, etc.) further developed a philosophy of natural law. After the Church of England broke from Rome, the English theologian Richard Hooker adapted Thomistic notions of natural law to Anglicanism.
The concept of Istislah in Islamic law bears some similarities to the natural law tradition in the West, as exemplified by Thomas Aquinas. However, whereas natural law deems good that which is known self-evidently to be good, according as it tends towards the fulfilment of the person, istislah calls good whatever is connected to one of five "basic goods". Al-Ghazali abstracted these "basic goods" from the legal precepts in the Qur'an and Sunnah: they are religion, life, reason, lineage and property. Some add also "honour".
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawzi also posited that human reason could discern between 'great sins' and good deeds.
Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī, an Islamic scholar and polymath scientist, understood natural law as the law of the jungle. He argued that the antagonism between human beings can only be overcome through a divine law, which he believed to have been sent through prophets. This is also the position of the Ashari school the largest school of Sunni theology.
Averroes in his treatise on "Justice and Jihad," and his commentary on Plato's Republic writes that the human mind can know of the unlawfulness of killing and stealing and thus of the five maqasid or higher intents of the Islamic sharia or to protect religion, life, property, offspring, and reason.
As used by Thomas Hobbes in his treatises Leviathan and De Cive, natural law is "a precept, or general rule, found out by reason, by which a man is forbidden to do that which is destructive of his life, or takes away the means of preserving the same; and to omit that by which he thinks it may best be preserved."
According to Hobbes, there are nineteen Laws. The first two are expounded in chapter XIV of Leviathan("of the first and second natural laws; and of contracts"); the others in chapter XV ("of other laws of nature").
Hugo Grotius based his philosophy of international law on natural law. In particular, his writings on freedom of the seas and just war theory directly appealed to natural law. About natural law itself, he wrote that "even the will of an omnipotent being cannot change or abrogate" natural law, which "would maintain its objective validity even if we should assume the impossible, that there is no God or that he does not care for human affairs." (De iure belli ac pacis, Prolegomeni XI). This is the famous argument etiamsi daremus (non esse Deum), that made natural law no longer dependent on theology.
John Locke incorporated natural law into many of his theories and philosophy, especially in Two Treatises of Government. There is considerable debate about whether his conception of natural law was more akin to that of Aquinas (filtered through Richard Hooker) or Hobbes' radical reinterpretation, though the effect of Locke's understanding is usually phrased in terms of a revision of Hobbes upon Hobbesean contractualist grounds. Locke turned Hobbes' prescription around, saying that if the ruler went against natural law and failed to protect "life, liberty, and property," people could justifiably overthrow the existing state and create a new one.
While Locke spoke in the language of natural law, the content of this law was by and large protective of natural rights, and it was this language that later liberal thinkers preferred. Thomas Jefferson, echoing Locke, appealed to unalienable rights in the Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
The Belgian philosopher of law Frank van Dun is one among those who are elaborating a secular conception of natural law in the liberal tradition.
The Church understands human beings to consist of body and mind, the physical and the non-physical (or soul perhaps), and that the two are inextricably linked. Humans are capable of discerning the difference between good and evil because they have a conscience. There are many manifestations of the good that we can pursue. Some, like procreation, are common to other animals, while others, like the pursuit of truth, are inclinations peculiar to the capacities of human beings.
To know what is right, one must use one's reason and apply it to Aquinas' precepts. This reason is believed to be embodied, in its most abstract form, in the concept of a primary precept: "Good is to be sought, evil avoided. St. Thomas explains that:
there belongs to the natural law, first, certain most general precepts, that are known to all;
and secondly, certain secondary and more detailed precepts, which are, as it were,
conclusions following closely from first principles. As to those general principles, the
natural law, in the abstract, can nowise be blotted out from men's hearts. But it is blotted
out in the case of a particular action, insofar as reason is hindered from applying the
general principle to a particular point of practice, on account of concupiscence or some
other passion, as stated above (77, 2). But as to the other, i.e., the secondary precepts, the
natural law can be blotted out from the human heart, either by evil persuasions, just as in
speculative matters errors occur in respect of necessary conclusions; or by vicious customs
and corrupt habits, as among some men, theft, and even unnatural vices, as the Apostle
states (Rm. i), were not esteemed sinful.
However, while the primary and immediate precepts cannot be "blotted out", the secondary precepts can be. Therefore, for a deontological ethical theory they are open to a surprisingly large amount of interpretation and flexibility. Any rule that helps man to live up to the primary or subsidiary precepts can be a secondary precept, for example:
Natural moral law is concerned with both exterior and interior acts, also known as action and motive. Simply doing the right thing is not enough; to be truly moral one's motive must be right as well. For example, helping an old lady across the road (good exterior act) to impress someone (bad interior act) is wrong. However, good intentions don't always lead to good actions. The motive must coincide with Aquinas's cardinal or theological virtues. Cardinal virtues are acquired through reason applied to nature; they are:
His theological virtues are:
According to Aquinas, to lack any of these virtues is to lack the ability to make a moral choice. For example, consider a man who possesses the virtues of justice, prudence, and fortitude, yet lacks temperance. Due to his lack of self control and desire for pleasure, despite his good intentions, he will find himself swaying from the moral path.
Whereas legal positivism would say that a law can be unjust without it being any less a law, a natural law jurisprudence would say that there is something legally deficient about an unjust law. Legal interpretivism, famously defended in the English speaking world by Ronald Dworkin, claims to have a position different from both natural law and positivism.
Besides utilitarianism and Kantianism, natural law jurisprudence has in common with virtue ethics that it is a live option for a first principles ethics theory in analytic philosophy.
The concept of natural law was very important in the development of the English common law. In the struggles between Parliament and the monarch, Parliament often made reference to the Fundamental Laws of England which were at times said to embody natural law principles since time immemorial and set limits on the power of the monarchy. According to William Blackstone, however, natural law might be useful in determining the content of the common law and in deciding cases of equity, but was not itself identical with the laws of England. Nonetheless, the implication of natural law in the common law tradition has meant that the great opponents of natural law and advocates of legal positivism, like Jeremy Bentham have also been staunch critics of the common law.
Natural law jurisprudence is currently undergoing a period of reformulation (as is legal positivism). The most prominent contemporary natural law jurist, Australian John Finnis, is based in Oxford, but there are also Americans Germain Grisez, Robert P. George, and Canadian Joseph Boyle. All have tried to construct a new version of natural law. The 19th-century anarchist and legal theorist, Lysander Spooner, was also a figure in the expression of modern natural law.
"New Natural Law" as it is sometimes called, originated with Grisez. It focuses on "basic human goods," such as human life, knowledge, and aesthetic experience, which are self-evidently and intrinsically worthwhile, and states that these goods reveal themselves as being incommensurable with one another.

Charlie Wilson was a bachelor congressman from Texas who had a habit of showing up in hot tubs with strippers and cocaine. His "Good Time Charlie" exterior, however, masked an extraordinary mind, a deep sense of patriotism and a passion for the underdog, and in the early 1980s the underdog was Afghanistan-which had just been brutally invaded by the Russians. Charlie's longtime friend and patron and sometime lover was Joanne Herring, one of the wealthiest women in Texas and a virulent anti-communist. Believing the American response to the Russian invasion was anemic at best, she prods Charlie into doing more for the Mujahideen (Afghan freedom fighters). Charlie's partner in this uphill endeavor is CIA Agent Gust Avrakotos, a blue-collar operative in a company of Ivy League blue bloods. Together, the three of them-Charlie, Joanne and Gust-travel the world to form unlikely alliances among the Pakistanis, Israelis, Egyptians, arms dealers, law makers and a belly dancer.Their success was remarkable. Funding for covert operations against the Soviets went from $5 million to $1 billion annually. The Red Army retreated out of Afghanistan. When asked how a group of peasants was able to deliver such a decisive blow to the army of a superpower, Pakistani President Mohammad Zia ul-Haq responded simply, "Charlie did it."

Abstract:In this paper, I will trace Ancient European Symbols of Pregnancy and Fertility from pre-history to early Christian times. Whether ancient female images represented goddesses or not, is not under discussion here. I will explore the possibility that symbols of pregnancy and fertility take on a purpose beyond self-expression, art, or worship and suggest the plausibility of pedagogical purposes in a pre-literate world. By including symbols, I also hope to show how some the roots of our modern alphabet go back to pre-history, and speak of the sacred sciences of birth.
Abstract:Pregnancy, a major life transition, significantly impacts aspects of a woman?s physical, psychological and social self. Theoretical perspectives of pregnancy are compared in terms of their utility. Using the theoretical frameworks of anthropologists van Gennep and Turner pregnancy is viewed as liminal, a space between social structures. Passage through pregnancy to parenthood is explored in its social context as a rite of passage. Viewing pregnancy and birth as a liminal phase provides a valuable framework for understanding normative and non-normative pregnancy experiences.
Abstract:Controlled trials reveal that, from before conception, nutrient deficits and toxins affect sperm, ovum, and maternal stores, lastingly impairing a child's health and abilities. Deficits, toxins, and stress can inhibit structure and function, and be linked to autism or reduced self-control, possibly with violent tendencies. From the beginning, epigenetic settings are mostly set early for directing development according to current environment. Many are operative in the brain.
Abstract:Most literature suggests the importance of social support during the pregnancy. This research utilized the Spearman's rho coefficient, which was calculated between the Maternity Social Support Scale (MSSS) score and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) score, as well as Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI) score. The results confirm that during the pregnancy a high social support level is associated with a low depression level and a high social support level is associated with a high prenatal attachment level.
The Best and Worst Time of My Life: The Lived Experience and Meaning of Pregnancy in Women with Mild to Moderate DepressionAbstract:The notion that pregnancy can, for some women, be a time of unhappiness and depression has only recently been recognized in media and by the general public. Although researchers and clinicians have begun to study antenatal depression with regards to prevalence, associated factors, and treatment approaches and outcomes, less is known about women?s lived experience of this phenomenon. A hermeneutic phenomenological study was conducted with six pregnant women who scored 10, 11, or 12 on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, indicating mild to moderate symptoms of depression.
Overcoming Somatic and Psychological Difficulties: New Experiences from an Integrated Linkage of Obstetrics and PsychotherapyAbstract:
In recent years it has been shown that an integrated linkage of gynecology, obstetrics, and psychotherapy resulted in an astoundingly low rate of premature births among the pregnant women cared for. Many physical problems in pregnancy should be regarded within the entirety of physical and emotional processes.
This paper presents an overview of the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on the duration of pregnancy, incidence of pregnancy-induced hypertension, fetal growth and development, including birth weight, neurocognitive and visual development in the infant, and postpartum depression in the mother. A brief introduction to the role of nutrition on the outcome of pregnancy provides a context for the review of the literature which follows. Much of the research is preliminary and includes epidemiological, animal, and human studies.

Sun won't go down on Nik Kershaw's career
Last updated at 20:15, Thursday, 26 April 2012
Eighties teen idol Nik Kershaw will be making the long trip from Essex to Workington to appear at the Nuts in May Festival next weekend.
His hits include Wouldn't It Be Good, which reached number four in the UK singles chart in 1984, and I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, which reached number two in the singles chart.
Nik, who will be performing with his four-piece band at the town's newest festival, said: "There will be a bit of a mixture of the old favourites which will get wheeled out as they always do and there will be some new stuff and stuff that I have done in between.
"I am looking forward to coming up to Workington, it is not a part of the country I know very well.
"I went once to the Lake District on a walking trip with a friend and I have played an acoustic gig in Kendal.
"It is not a huge country but it is astonishing how many places there are to see."
Nik's second album The Riddle was released in 1984 and included top 10 hits Wide Boy and Don Quixote.
He performed at Live Aid at Wembley Stadium in 1985 and has collaborated with a number of artists over the years including Elton John, Chesney Hawkes, Bonnie Tyler, Lulu, Ronan Keating, Jason Donovan, The Hollies and Gary Barlow.
He will play on the Saturday night of the festival which will showcase 1980s stars, folk legends and festival favourites.
He said: "I think with a festival it is a challenge, in some sense it is the scariest thing to do because you are not playing to your own crowd.
"Nuts in May is fundamentally a folk festival and it is a great feeling if and when you win the crowd over.
"I think independent festivals are brilliant. They have a local flavour and support local musicians.
"Especially in this day and age promoters and local authorities are very brave to have a go and it is brilliant when it pays off."
The festival's first year will also see performances from Hazel O'Connor, Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick, Emma's Imagination, Megan Henwood, The Martin Harley Band, Mad Dog McCrea, The Magic Tombolinos and Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash.
It is the brainchild of Alwyn and Joanne Braniff, of Stainburn Road, who have pulled together a team of experienced organisers who have previously worked on the successful Solfest music festival.
The site covers 50 acres of specially landscaped woodland at Middlemoor, between Stainburn and Great Clifton, and includes six stages.
The family-friendly festival will include international food vendors, workshops, late night entertainment, artisan traders and a host of activities for children of all ages.
All weekend tickets are £34 for adults, £20 for young people aged 12 to 17 and under-11s get in free.
Tickets are available to buy online at www.nutsinmayfestival.co.uk/tickets/buy/index.php

Lawsuit says his supervisors knew of misconduct toward women, failed to take action
A federal lawsuit filed by a woman sexually assaulted by San Diego police Officer Anthony Arevalos contains new allegations and details that police supervisors knew about his misconduct toward female suspects by the late 1990s and repeatedly failed to take action against him.
The woman who brought the suit had complained to police that Arevalos had assaulted her inside a convenience store restroom, leading to the department's investigation of the officer. Arevalos, 42, was convicted in 2011 on charges involving five women, including seeking sexual bribes from them.
The former 18-year veteran of the department is serving a nearly nine-year sentence in Corcoran state prison.
The lawyers for the woman in the federal suit filed a revised complaint this month that includes a deposition from a retired San Diego police officer who says Arevalos in 1998 took photographs of a naked and mentally unstable woman committing a lewd act in the back of his patrol vehicle. The retired officer said he told two sergeants about the incident.
The other incidents detailed in the complaint occurred in 2001, 2007 and 2010, and in each incident it's alleged that department supervisors were told about Arevalos' conduct.
A Police Department spokesman declined to comment on the lawsuit and referred all questions to the City Attorney's Office. Jonathan Heller, a spokesman for City Attorney Jan Goldsmith, declined to comment on the allegations because of the ongoing litigation.
After Arevalos was convicted, Police Chief Bill Lansdowne said that suspicions fellow officers had about Arevalos' misconduct never reached the "upper echelons" of his administration. He has been chief since August 2003.
"Clearly, there were some red flags that should have been reported but weren't. We're going to be addressing all of those issues," Lansdowne said at the time.
The federal lawsuit brought by Arevalos' victim alleges the department has an unwritten policy of covering up and downplaying reports of misconduct, and of categorizing what should be serious complaints as low-level "public service inquiries" that don't trigger an internal investigation.
The suit calls for an outside monitor to oversee how the Police Department handles complaints of officer misconduct. Linda Workman, one of the lawyers representing the victim, declined to elaborate on the new court filings.
Here is what a review of hundreds of pages of depositions, statements and reports from the lawsuit shows:
• Retired Officer Francisco Torres said in a deposition he was Arevalos' backup for an incident in 1998 or 1999 when a call came in of a naked, mentally unstable woman at a park in south San Diego. He and Arevalos took the woman to Paradise Valley Hospital in National City.
Torres said he went inside to get hospital staff to help with her. When he came out, he said, he witnessed Arevalos taking two Polaroid photos of the woman engaged in a sexual act with his baton.
Torres said he reported the incident that night to his supervisor, Sgt. Danny Hollister, who became visibly upset with Torres for telling him about it. He told Torres to report it that night to Arevalos' supervisor, then-Sgt. Rudy Tai.

Posted by KingShamus on October 29, 2012
Featuring none other than Glenn Danzig on lead vocals.
I'm not a huge Misfits fan, but they can be kinda cool. Listen to their early stuff with Danzig and you can hear where Metallica's James Hetfield got a lot of his vocal style. More than a few songs on Kill 'Em All and Ride The Lightning could've been sang by Danzig and you probably wouldn't notice it wasn't James.
The thing about The Misfits is that, even by punk standards, they're a polarizing band. Either you dig their horror-punk visual aesthetic or you think it's corny as hell. I lean towards the latter, but that doesn't mean they didn't make some great songs in their heyday.
Besides, "Halloween" and The Misfits are pretty much made for this witchy time of the year.
Happy Halloween!
Oh what the heck: Just because this might be my favorite Misfits song, here's a blast of pure punk rock. (Parental Advisory: F-Bombs).
