But his insistence on patriarchal authority was tied to the increasingly destructive rules and policies of a racist government that were driving his family off the land, denying their rights to own livestock or even farm for themselves, and turning a once independent black rural population into subservient laborers and slum-dwellers. In a shrinking world of choices, Maine was fierce in his determination not to give in. Yet that fierceness also alienated his own children, destroyed his labor resources as they fled the family, and further limited his possibilities as age and growing blindness sapped his own strength. When he insisted on buying that last tractor at the age of 86, van Onselen writes, "He was living in a resettlement slum surrounded by the neglected fields of a dying peasantry, whose labouring lifeblood had long since drained away to the cities."
Two lives could scarcely be more different. Yet their biographies are like different threads in the same fabric, each part of the complex interweaving of forces bringing about South Africa's remarkable transformation. One can sense the stubborn dignity of the sharecropper as well as the selfless courage of the activist in the figure of Nelson Mandela. These biographies offer a rich understanding of people whose lives are the roots of history, the roots from which such symbols as Mandela spring up.
In her autobiography, Across Boundaries, Mamphela Ramphele writes of a generation that rose to resist apartheid, as if from the ashes of a sharecropper's dreams. Theirs was a different kind of struggle, shaped by the realities of mass urban poverty, rural disintegration and the cultural destruction that apartheid had produced. Ramphele grew up in a hybrid family culture, both traditional and liberating. Her mother set the example of defying patriarchal rules, and she followed the example, choosing a career in medicine against her family's advice. "It was not the desire to serve which influenced my career choice," she writes, "but the passion for freedom to be my own mistress in a society in which being black and woman defined the boundaries within which one could legitimately operate."
Medical school also became the seedbed of political activism as she was drawn into the "black consciousness" movement and a deep friendship with the young leader Steve Biko, who urged blacks to have more faith in themselves and not let white liberals run their liberation struggle. Ramphele needed little urging, as her remarkable life demonstrates. In a world of police surveillance, orders that restricted her and other activists to remote places and forbade contact among them, and imprisonments that often resulted in brutal deaths (Steve Biko died of beatings in police custody while she was pregnant with their child), she combined medicine and activism. Ramphele's mission was founding and running community clinics for poor patients. Banished from directing her first clinic (a security agent told her, "Well, Dr. Ramphele, goodbye, you bitch!"), she soon started another in the province to which she was exiled.
It was the commitment and determination of men and women like her that ultimately broke the back of apartheid, and her autobiography is full of tributes to these activists, as well as to the priests and nuns, and white liberal allies, who sheltered and comforted her during her darkest moments of grief and despair.
In the twilight of apartheid, Ramphele took refuge in academia, turning from medicine to research, alarmed by the symptoms of social disintegration among poor black communities that a clinic could never cure. She became an anthropologist. Her work attracted the interest of Nelson Mandela, still in prison, who encouraged her, and who took to heart her criticisms of patriarchal abuses occurring within the liberation movement.
Ramphele is now working at the peak of South African society, as a vice-chancellor of Capetown University and on corporate boards of directors, to advocate the cultural changes that must accompany any real economic development among the poor. She writes: "Affirmative action as it has been pursued in the United States and in many other parts of the world assumes that 'outsiders' have to be brought into the mainstream to ensure their participation, without there being any fundamental questioning of that mainstream as a desirable social framework." Clearly, her success has not tamed this activist any more than the punishments of apartheid did.
Reviewer Paul Trachtman writes from his home in rural New Mexico.

Nets-Clippers Preview
By KEVIN CHROUST
Posted Nov 16 2013 2:10AM
The Los Angeles Clippers are one of five teams with a home winning percentage of .800 or better since the start of the 2012-13 season.
They'll try to improve to 5-0 at home for the first time since 2006-07 Saturday night against the Brooklyn Nets.
The Clippers (6-3) are scoring an NBA-best 110.0 points per game, while their home average of 120.8 is also tops in the league.
Wednesday's 111-103 win over Oklahoma City was their worst shooting night at Staples Center this season, and though they went 6 for 28 from 3-point range, they still shot 45.3 percent from the floor.
The Clippers trailed at the break but took control in the third, outscoring the Thunder 30-16 in the quarter en route to their third straight win.
"What I loved about the third quarter, every single guy came in and did something," coach Doc Rivers said.
Blake Griffin led the team in scoring for the fifth straight game with 22 points, and he added 12 rebounds and seven assists.
Chris Paul had 14 points and 16 assists, giving him a double-double in those categories in every game this season. He also turned the ball over only twice after piling up 18 turnovers in his previous four games.
Los Angeles is allowing 106.0 points per game, which is second to last in the league, while their 48.2 points in the paint allowed is tied for last.
The team is focusing on getting its defense in sync rather than relying on offense every night.
"We've got to do a better job of not relaxing," Griffin told the team's official website. "I feel like we keep saying the same things over and over, but that's a good thing that it's on our mind and that's what we want to achieve that full 48 minutes of defensive intensity."
Brooklyn (3-5) snapped a three-game skid with Friday's 100-98 overtime win at Phoenix.
Nets point guard Deron Williams exited the game in the first quarter with a sprained left ankle. X-rays were negative and no timetable was given for his return.
"I landed on (teammate Mason) Plumlee's foot," Williams said. "All my weight was on it (the ankle). It's frustrating. No words can describe it. Sick of getting injured, sick of being hurt. I just want to be healthy and help my team."
Shaun Livingston replaced Williams and scored 18 on 7-of-12 shooting.
"We are a veteran team," Livingston told the team's official website. "We know what's at stake. This was very important."
Brook Lopez matched his season high with 27 points and the team tied a season low with 12 turnovers.
Joe Johnson scored the winning basket after gathering a rebound and running the floor to beat the buzzer with a layup.
"This was big," Johnson said. "There could be a domino effect."
It was their third straight victory at Phoenix, but winning on the road against the Clippers has been more difficult. Los Angeles has won eight of its last nine home games against the Nets.
The teams split last season's two-game series, with each team winning on its home floor. The Clippers won the most recent meeting 101-95 on March 23.
http://www.nba.com/games/20131116/BKNLA ... tml?ls=slt
Coming off a back to back with OT and with DWill out you'd have have to fancy our chances but you never know in the NBA. It will be interesting to see Doc go up against two of his old big 3 for the first time.
Game on. Lets get the W Clips!!!
I actually wish D. Will was playing. He is playing like a D league caliber PG atm and he doesn't play a lick of D. Shaun Livingston is actually better than him atm by a lot even.
He could very well be the next Baron Davis.
Anyway we need a decisive win where we play good defense. We need to blow this mediocre, struggling Nets team out.
When I wrote that about DWill I did wonder if him being out was actually an advantage
Most Nets fans actually feel the same way.
Brook Lopez might be out tonight also, but it's not official yet. If so, we win by 30.
Nets are playing pretty bad, hope we take them seriously
Brook L. may sit tonight out
"That being said, Lopez may sit tonight. The Nets just don't know yet."
D-Will is most likely out as well
I'm glad to see Shaun Livingston still in the league doing well.
He was one of my favorite clippers. He was going to be top
3 pg's in the league if it wasn't for that injury.
With that said. lets go ahead and steam roll the nets.
We need a statement 25-30 point win game right now.
I'll take a 25-point lead heading into the 4th. Rest the horses and give 'em back 9 points... I've already guessed 16 as the spread in the guess the score game before I knew who was out
Might have a chance for a "blow out" by 30pts with all their injuries. We did it twice last season. Here's the total number of times it's been done in Clipper/Brave history:
http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... der_by=pts
Here's the total by +25pts (we did it 7 times last season):
Line today Clippers -11.5
WoW! Whoever thought that Deandre Jordan could average 13 rebounds and 2 blocks! I knew he had it in him! Chris averaging 13 assist and 3 steals! Blake back to averaging 22 and 10! Should be a great game tonight!!!
My only concern is the emotional subtext of the game. I have an awful feeling KG and PP will have ridiculous games tonight. This could be one of those games that surprises us out of nowhere.
But dammit, we're pretty damn good at home. We can't let them do that. We especially need our starting back court to bounce back from lack luster games recently.
I don't want any surprises! It IS time we blew out somebody!
Shaq predicted a Clipper Loss today....
Btw, Reggie Evans seems to just be languishing on the bench for BKN. It seems such a waste of a great rebounder and solid defender.
Those thinking that this will be a blow-out will be severely disappointed.
^ All-star PG & C out... B2B road game after OT last night... a blowout doesn't sound that far fetched to me.
Just as long as our guys play like they should and don't expect the game handed to them, we got this one.
As of this moment Clipps are 11 1/2 point favorites
Headed to the game tonight and hope to see this team continue to improve their defensive effort, more importantly see the 2nd unit improve. I think we caught a glimpse on Wednesday against OKC of the potential the 2nd unit has.
I would rather thrash the Nets having them at full strength. Either way I see no reason why a 25 point win is not in the making.
Clippers 115
Nets 90
Go left when he's saids go right and go to the window for the win when he saids a loss for us.
Thanks for the win today Shaquille.
Okay now we are talking 40+ point victory.
^Would be a 1st in Clipper history. Possible, just not probable. Let's not let down and just win tonight.
This seems like a recipe for disaster with 4 Nets players out. The Clippers have had a tendency to play down to their opponents and let them dictate the pace. I hope it won't be the case here and Clips can just blow the Nets out of the water by end of third quarter. I need an easy win tonight. It would certainly be less stressful! Lol
Hmmm...not sure what to expect now.
Johnson is still a good player. And looks like we'll see a lot of Reggie Evans (ironic given my last post). Evans played Blake pretty love when last I remember. However, he's not really a scoring threat.
We just have to take care of business. Do our thing.
Just for the record I don't actually think we are going to win by 40. 15 sounds good if our starters don't play the 4th quarter.
Blake is already on the court working up a sweat...TWO HOURS before tip off! Slow down big fella!
Here comes a fun "play down to the competition" game. Ugh, i hate these.
Hopefully Doc will have them pumped cos it against his old stars.
@MadelynBurke: Deron Williams (ankle), Kevin Garnett (ankle), Paul Pierce (groin) and Brook Lopez (ankle) OUT for Brooklyn tonight vs #Clippers
it SHOULD be an easy game
So Madelyn Burke just reported that KG will, indeed, NOT play tonight also. It will be Joe Johnson and the bench. I know we've disappointed in the past against teams without their best players (last year against Houston without Harden comes to mind)....but c'mon, we can't let this team beat us tonight.
They're all out, go figure. It should be real easy, we better not play down to them.
Looks like we'll see plenty of Reggie Evans!
Old Reggie. The best banger in the business
Love that guy. Hope he doesn't give us too many reasons to want him back on the team tonight! I mean, I want him back anyway, so he doesn't really need to prove anything tonight!
On a side note, is that weird bump still under JJ's left eye? Last I saw it was huge. I don't know how I'd be able to shoot one jumper with that. Seriously, I hope his eye is ok.
Well this game got a lot less interesting, lol.
Doesn't mean they should take the foot of the pedal. Bury them early.
I predict Reggie goes for 20 & 20 lol
What 20 rebounds and 20 blocks cos I know you don't mean pts
Ugh, I do NOT want to see some crazy Rudy-style, inspirational performance by the depleted Nets team!
Any one else is having no HD on their Prime Ticket telecast? on Dish Network. It is the second time this happens to me.
Nba Tv has HD prime ticket
who the hell is Alan Anderson? lol
Chris with 4 assists already! POINT GOD
JJ is off to a great start!
JJ with 8 of the Clippers 13 points
That tough shot by Blake reminds me of the "travel" shot he made a couple years ago.
Dangit DJ, I know you were in a tough situation and all, but no need to close out that extremely on a guy averaging 6 points a game.
DJ has been crap on D lately.
He ended up being pretty good on that last possession. Just needs to find some consistency, really.
Thanks but I do not have NBA TV. Sucks have to watch this way.
Better than glitchy computer streams

Inside views on the jobs market
Trade the unemployment rate
It might seem a safe bet that the number of people out of work in the U.S. will head higher in September following the job losses on Wall Street. But even if that's the case, it won't feed through to the unemployment rate immediately. That's because to count as unemployed, respondents to a government survey of households who are out of work must say they have actively looked for work in the last four weeks. Alister Bull discussed the vagaries of the unemployment rate in this analysis.
There might be fewer economists on Wall Street to forecast the September number, but you can place a bet on whether the rate will rise from August's five-year high of 6.1 percent via our news prediction game on Hubdub.com. Click on the live graph below to jump to the Reuters/Hubdub marketplace.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Can you grow an ear of corn over a foot long? How about a 28-pound cantaloupe?
If so, the West Virginia Department of Agriculture wants to put you in the record book.
The department has kept records on the largest fruits and vegetables since 1996. Records are published on the WVDA website, wvagriculture.org.
Commissioner of Agriculture Walt Helmick says in a release that it's been an excellent growing season, so he encourages everyone to try to break a record in their garden.
The contest is open to any fruit or vegetable grown in West Virginia during 2013. Entrants should send photos and evidence of the size and weight of their entry to the department at 1900 Kanawha Blvd. East, Charleston, WV, 25305.

- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; add 2 teaspoons cumin to boiling water. Cook cauliflower florets, working in batches, in the boiling water until cooked but still crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and cool on a plate.
- Blend flour, egg, garlic, 1 teaspoon cumin, tomato paste, and salt in a blender or food processor until smooth; thin with milk as needed.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet to about 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Dip cauliflower florets in the batter; fry battered cauliflower in the hot oil, working in batches, until cauliflower is golden and crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

This was a fantastic recipe, but the first step of effectively blanching the cauliflower in cumin scented water is totally unnecessary. The florets cook to perfection when just dipped in the batter and fried - also, the batter sticks more easily to the uncooked pieces. Want to save more time? The use of the food processor to make the batter is overkill as far as dishes and equipment go (or maybe I am just lazy). Just whip it up in a bowl (the same one you will use to dip the florets in). So save yourself the hassle of step 1 and part of step 2 and make this tasty recipe.
Christine B.
I love this recipe! I normally steam the cauliflower and just pan fry, but this was nice for a change. I served it as an appetizer with a dip that I make from low fat sour cream, cumin and olive oil. Thanks!
Excellent flavor. Needed to use more than 1/4 cup of milk to make the batter less dough-like and more batter-like. If you want the fried cauliflower to be crunchier, then add cornmeal to the batter. Great recipe! Thanks!

Women and Heart Disease: An Atlas of Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Mortality (Second Edition)
During the past 40 years, public health researchers have documented persistent geographic disparities in heart disease mortality in the United States. However, most of these studies have reported findings only for men. While there is growing awareness that heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, claiming over 372,000 lives in 1995 alone, few studies of heart disease in women have examined geographic disparities. Why is it critical to understand local geographic disparities in the burden of heart disease among women? We contend that health disparities among places reflect underlying inequalities in local social environments that make some communities more health-promoting than others.

Pauls Valley Democrat
Pauls Valley, Oklahoma — There are many blessings I can count in my life so far, like never having to experience the trauma of war or dealing with the loss of someone I know in a grisly manner. I can thankfully say almost every gruesome scene I've come across has been the result a Hollywood imagination and over time one can become conditioned to accepting that it is only fiction.
However, there are certain flicks that are so able to drive home a sense of terror and helplessness that one almost feels as if they themselves need time to recover from the tragedy due to overexposure. Today's tale is one such subject where I could find a lot of positive things to say, but also wonder if the elements may have driven the message home too effectively. "Prisoners" at times is a relentless decent into humanity's most violent temptations with any lines of right or decency blurred for those caught in the turmoil.
Set in a movie tone that is the combined Emo dream of Tim Burton, Nicholas Cage and Lydia from Beetlejuice (maybe just outside of Detroit), we are introduced to a slightly nutty, but loving Christian man named Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman). Depressing from the get-go with a soundtrack I imagine is now a hit at Guantanamo Bay, even when things apparently start out happy with a two family thanksgiving get-together, Dover seems to bring everyone else down from his son Ralph (Dylan Minnette) to his wife Grace (Maria Bello) and the neighbors Franklin (Terrence Howard) and Nancy Birch (Viola Davis).
Once that odd introduction is brushed away, we get to the heart of the matter when after the meal, both sets of parents notice that their daughters have gone missing. In classically stupid human fashion, Dover decides he's much more qualified to handle the missing person's case than seasoned officer assigned, Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) and goes on a good old American spree of vigilante justice. Though at times it appears Dover is maybe helping find the two missing girls, his actions actually almost plunge him into a further place of darkness when he decides to abduct and torture who he thinks is responsible, a mentally handicapped boy named Alex Jones (Paul Dano).
Where this film succeeds is with an extremely respectable performance by both Jackman and Gyllenhaal, who steal the spotlight with convincingly raw personalities. The only problem with it is that you are so oversaturated by this quest for revenge that you almost dislike what is supposed to be a sympathetic character and beg for a conclusion so you don't have to see it anymore.
Instead it drags on at least a half hour too long and by the time the real villain is revealed one doesn't even care anymore. Top that off with one of those unimaginative blackout endings where you get to surmise whether everything wraps up nicely and then you can get ready to schedule your therapy. Since I think one time through the numbing sensory deprivation circus is enough I give "Prisoners," two out of five thrillers.

By Joe Tyrrell, NJ Spotlight
A Superior Court judge said she will approve more than 3,000 corrected foreclosure notices from Wells Fargo to homeowners, tearing a hole in the procedural dam that has held back a potential flood of legal action.
At a hearing in Paterson where many participants expressed continuing confusion about New Jersey's foreclosure process, Judge Margaret Mary McVeigh tried to explain the difficulties to a courtroom packed with lawyers and defendants.
"There is no precedent," she said. "There is not a case that exists anywhere that addresses what we are doing here."
What New Jersey courts are trying to do is dispose of a backlog estimated at 60,000 or more foreclosure cases from the past five years, even as the number of new cases begins to creep back toward the peaks of the Great Recession.
Last month, McVeigh approved corrected notices from a smaller lender, MidFirst Bank. But that involved only about 230 mortgages. As one of the major mortgage lenders and loan servicers in the nation and state, Wells Fargo is a key player in shaping the process, participants said at last Thursday's hearing.
"We agreed to go first, to leave our chin hanging out there," said one of the bank's New Jersey attorneys, Mark Melodia of Reed, Smith. The volume of motions and objections led to the case being delayed behind MidFirst, but Wells Fargo is sharing advice with other banks with similar cases pending, he told McVeigh.
But defense attorneys said even at this point, there still are questions about the accuracy of notices and some other documents. More than 1,100 cases have been pared from the Wells Fargo initial notice list because of errors, they told the judge.
Still, some representatives from all sides agreed with McVeigh that the courts must resolve the situation for the good of defendants, lenders, and New Jersey's economy.
The backlog began in December 2010 after instances of fraud and misinformation in foreclosure cases, most of which are uncontested, caused state Chief Justice Stuart Rabner to order six major lenders and two dozen others active in New Jersey to demonstrate steps to eliminate the problems.
Naming the Mortgage Holder
After winning court approval of its internal safeguards last year, Wells Fargo brought more than 4,500 of these delayed cases before McVeigh earlier this year. They involved homeowners who previously received notices of intent to foreclosure that improperly named only the company servicing the loan, not the mortgage holder.
The holders had become harder to identify in the lending and borrowing spree that followed the reregulation of American financial markets in 2000. Financial firms packaged mortgages, some issued on unsustainable terms, into investment vehicles that ratings agencies certified as safe despite their inherent risk.
Traded and retraded, chopped and repackaged, those mortgage-backed securities have proven hard to unravel as the housing bubble began its slow-motion burst in 2007.
The problem can be seen in the caption on one of the underlying cases Wells Fargo attorneys brought before McVeigh.
Before Wells Fargo, the named plaintiffs were "U.S. Bank National Association as successor trustee to Bank of America, National Association (successor by merger to LaSalle Bank National Association) as trustee for Mortgage Stanley Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-15XS." The underlying loan was issued by First Financial Equities.
Those who invested in securities issued under such circumstances may own only a piece of a mortgage that was sliced and diced among several other packages. But studies around the nation show that in some cases, lenders have been able to foreclosure on properties without holding proper title.
Such gyrations are not unique in recent foreclosure cases. But a few of the individuals who objected to notices from Wells Fargo told McVeigh that even their most recent notices name the bank's subsidiary America's Servicing Co. as servicer, but do not identify the holder of the mortgage note.

July 30, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The state is giving financial assistance to several dozen farmers to help boost Wisconsin's milk production by the end of the decade.
Forty-one dairy farmers around the state are receiving grants totaling $200,000. The money is intended to help the state produce 30 billion pounds of milk each year by 2020.
Gov. Scott Walker announced the so-called Grow Wisconsin Dairy 30-by-20 program in March.
Mike Powers is with the state's agriculture department. He says most of the money will be used to help pay for consultants. He says some will look at business planning and herd health, while others might look at improving milk quality or upgrading facilities.
A Wisconsin Public Radio report says the state will be accepting a second round of applications later this year.

For you forum peeps who can't be bothered to RTFA:
For the second consecutive season, the Twins have been a pretty awful baseball team to watch. As long-time Minnesota fans, we at Twins Daily understand that. I'm not a Vikings fans so maybe I don't understand it quite as much as some of you saps, but I still understand the sentiment behind being very, very angry at your favorite team. Some of this frustration boils over into the comments section of articles and into the TD forums.
Lately, it's been a bit of an issue and that's going to stop. We've had a rash of posters who have stooped to calling each other names and that isn't the type of environment we're trying to foster here at Twins Daily. So, as of this point, if you see someone calling another person names or insulting their obviously rich family lineage, let us know about it. It's really easy. There's a "Report Post" function under every post made on TD (it's the little triangle with the exclamation point in it).
Now that I have that out of the way...
To the offenders of this policy. Listen, you're frustrated. We get that. But do you really need to call another person you've never met a ^&%$ing *$%#face &^#wipe because they think Joe Mauer should be traded for a pitching machine and an old Phillie Phanatic costume? There's a much more polite way to make your disagreement with that kindly gentleman on the other side of the keyboard known to all. Challenge him to a duel. Pistols at dawn is always a classy touch. Go create a website and yell at him there. GoDaddy offers cheap and affordable hosting for such a thing, if you can stomach the non-stop Danica Patrick ads long enough to find out how to buy something over there. The point is that if you're going to insult someone on the internet, you better find a different place to do it.
Or, better yet, stick around Twins Daily and learn to disagree with the idea, not the person. Everybody has the occasional insane idea of what constitutes "smart baseball". VodkaDave thinks the Twins should explore signing Morneau to a multi-year deal in the offseason. Do I agree with that? God, no. I think it's completely insane to even be thinking about it at this point in time. But Dave's a pretty smart guy who I agree with quite often on several subjects (particularly all things adult entertainment-based). So I go after the idea, not the person (also, Dave is a very sensitive person and I'd hate to upset his delicate sensibilities).
Not everybody out there is as smart as you, SABR guy with a post doctorate in mathematics... or it's also possible they haven't yet been exposed to new baseball ideas. Or maybe they're just a little kid and you just sent them back upstairs, crying about how the bad Internet people don't like Nick Punto and asking his mom what she really did for a living before she met daddy. Nobody wants that. We were all baseball morons once and Twins Daily is doing its best to invite baseball fans of all knowledge levels and varieties to this great sport. It wouldn't kill you to show a little restraint once in a while and teach something instead of blasting the person out of the water like a drunken Hunter S Thompson fishing in a dynamite pond.
In short, stop with the insults. We're not going to put up with it but we do encourage civil (or, mostly civil) discourse on the state of the Twins. Again, it's a really simple rule:
Go after the idea, not the person.
PS. Forum dwellers, we're also keeping an eye on consistently negative posters. Again, we understand frustration but if you can't post anything but negativity for 150 consecutive posts, consider yourself warned. If you see someone who is consistently dragging down every thread they enter and derailing the topic with endless rants about how bad everything is about the Twins, do not report it. That will only clog our queue for forum violations and could cause us to miss legitimately insulting posts. Instead, feel free to PM myself, John, Seth, Nick, or Parker with your concern. We will certainly take your opinion under advisement and we thank you.
I pretty much cannot read the comment sections anymore because they read like the comment sections at the Strib--which I find painful on several levels.
Context and perspective. Well done.
(I should, of course, have checked your bio to see if you are a "sir" or a "ma'am", but I'm too lazy to open another tab to find out. I apologize).
For the most part, the comments are fairly civil and worth reading. There are times though, that I stop reading the comments because of the personal attacks.
RP - Thanks for bringing this up. Also, I'm sorry it had to come to posting an article about how to behave.
This forum is pretty tame, all considering. Still, after a couple of bad weeks of forum trolling, all of us decided enough is enough and we're going to proactively work to clean things up a bit.
Ever since I started to work at home, and it has been a few seasons I have always to tried to stay up-dated with baseball and my Twins. TD has always been a positive site to read and talk baseball. The comments have been 99% about baseball and you guys do good work in keeping it that way! Keep it up!
Thank you for posting this Brock. Just so there isn't any questions, the entire team is behind this. And it's especially important to keep in mind in the last two months of what has been a frustrating season.
Agreed... 100% behind this!! Thanks for writing it Brock... I've talked to too many people who either don't come here at all or won't comment themselves because of a select few... Thank you!
I'm all for great discussion and disagreement, but there's a right way to do it and a not quite so right way!
I can still read the comments on this site. On most sites I just give up after two or three comments, the vast majority of the people who visit daily I believe are a very civil group. Hopefully this will continue, but I guess that is up to all of us. It can turn quick and I think you have the support of a vast majority of us who enjoy the site do what is needed to keep and nice place to visit.
Well Pig, you had me until you dissed my flawless plan of offering Justin Morneau a contract extension.
With that said
jk your the best.
Not really.
Heh ... loved the paragraph about Dave ... but in your earlier paragraph, that kindly gentleman could be a kindly lady. Just sayin' ... (although I really don't post much)
My philosophy on this is that we all share a common mania, some more than others.
I think about the Twins at random times during each day, even the offseason, and I check at least 3 Twins websites every day, even on Christmas day. I always want to watch the games and I always need to know the score. Some fans are less hard core than this, and some are more hard core.
While I may completely disagree with what some people say here, the diversity is enlightening and from what I have seen, the debate is generally civil. But it does not hurt to remind ourselves that the most abrasive Twins fan will always be more of your ally than the nicest White Sox fan.
This post needed to happen a long time ago. Thanks for taking the time. I might also throw in the excessive thread starting could probably use some discretion on everyone's part. We should have something like the 'Official Thread of __Player X__' so whenever there's a brag or a gripe about a given player/front office member/position, we can keep it all to one thread and organize the forum more efficiently.
The more people we have active in the community, the better it is for everyone.
Snark is and always will be encouraged.
All in all, Twins Daily is one of my favorite sites. Sure, sometimes people pop off about some player they've lost patience with, and sometimes the arguments get a little snippy. But mostly we all just sit back and have a pretty good time gassing about the local nine.
I don't know about y'all, but the last time I played competitive baseball was when I was in fifth grade, about forty years ago. I did help coach a couple little league teams this summer, but mostly I just yelled "run faster, swing harder, throw harder" or some semi-useless nonsense. Kids had a lot of fun, tho. Some of them learned to throw a ball with okay form for the first time. One of them learned to swing the bat, and hit a grand slam in his last game. A few guys learned to pitch, and they all pitched from the set. We pretty much had them stealing bases all the time, which is how the 12U guys won the championship. Shocked the heck out of me.

Less is More: The Minimal Print

Emerging in the early 1960s in reaction to its predecessor Abstract Expressionism, the Minimalist attitude is best exemplified by artist Frank Stella's famous statement "What you see is what you see." Whereas Abstract Expressionists created uninhibited works full of feeling and metaphor, Minimalists purged their art of any emotion or allusion, distilling abstraction to its purest form. "Less is More: The Minimal Print" displays prints from SCMA's permanent collection by artists such as Josef Albers, Sol LeWitt, Ad Reinhardt, Robert Ryman, Richard Tuttle, and others.

Vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan appealed to Michiganders on a very personal level Monday night on the campus of Oakland University.
Speaking to an estimated crowd of 2,000 with another 1,000 in an overflow room, Ryan's 30-minute speech was peppered with the Michigan connections between the candidate and the crowd he was addressing.
From references to Michigan State's "thumping" of the Wisconsin Badgers last year to the fact that "overseas means across Lake Superior to us," Ryan was clearly feeling neighborly.
He even took credit for a certain Detroit Tiger: ("You got Prince Fielder from us," he said. "He's still a hero to us in Milwaukee.")
"If you draw a line from Muskegon straight across the lake, that's where I'm from," Ryan said of his hometown of Janesville. He continued to talk about the automotive industry in Janesville, referring to it as a "GM town" and said, "Trust me, I come from Detroit West. We know we need a healthy auto sector. We want a stronger auto sector."
Ryan spoke of watching childhood friends lose jobs at the plants and making sure workers "get skills to get them back on their feet. And you do that with a growing economy," he said.
To grow the economy Ryan explained he and Romney's five-point plan, which includes energy devolpment, international trade agreements, workforce training and education, cutting the budget and reducing regulations to help small business.
Ryan's visit to Rochester followed the release of poll results that showed Obama has a 3 percentage point lead over Romney, closing in on the gap that was 10 percentage points last month, according to the Detroit Free Press.
'Time to decide'
After opening remarks that included thank-yous to the OU Grizzlies, Kid Rock, Candice Miller and Pete Hoekstra, Ryan said that it is "time to decide what kind of country we're going to have."
Read Local GOPs — and One Rock Star — Pump Up the Party at Ryan Rally
While acknowleging that President Obama came into a tough situation, "he didn't make anything better," Ryan said.
"He went from hope and change to attack and blame," Ryan said. "We want to earn your support. We want to deserve this victory. We owe you a choice — specific solutions, specific ideas. One core idea is this: stop spending money we don't have."
Ryan also addressed running-mate Romney's leadership skills.
"Mitt Romney is a leader. He's a man who knows how to run things. Being successful in business is a good thing— we want more of that."
The Democrats responded to Ryan with a statement released within minutes after the rally ended Monday night.
"Congressman Ryan brought both his temper and penchant for dishonesty to Michigan today," said Matt McGrath, an Obama for America campaign spokesman. "Ryan told supporters that Romney knows we need a strong auto industry – but Romney would have just 'let Detroit go bankrupt.'
"The American people have come to expect stunning dishonesty from Congressman Ryan and Mitt Romney, but the truth is their policies would be devastating for middle class families."
'The most important election of your generation'
Repeating a theme that was heard throughout the night, Ryan called the Nov. 6 election "the most important election of your generation."
He again called on midwestern imagery to bring his final message home to the cheering crowd.
"America is more than the Great Lakes. It's more than the Packers or the Lions, more than the Tigers or the Brewers. It's more than a flag. It's a very special idea," he said.
"Our job is to preserve this."
Ryan reminded the crowd that his ticket has a Michigander and a Wisconsinite and then he called on the Michigan crowd.
"We can do it here. We'll look back at this moment. We need your help, Michigan.
"Let's go out and get this done."

text: I don't find the breast feeding doll to be gross, just stupid. I had a Betsy Wetsy when I was a little girl. You fed it water, it came out a little hole in it's crotch area, into a diaper. That was 55+ years ago. Little girls will pretend to breast feed regular dolls. Mine did. When I brought my son home from the hospital, my daughter sat down next to me when I breast fed him. She put her doll to her chest and held it there for a few minutes. Then she looked at me and claimed that was silly and went and got a toy bottle. Kids emulate their parents all of the time. A little girl mimicking their mother breast feeding is not awful. But the doll is dumb.

Open Source Business Eyes Government Contracts
Atlanta trade show helps government agencies learn about open source solutions, while also helping an open source startup navigate the government contracting process.
Atlanta-based Run Level Media, LLC, an open source web design and development startup, recently began the process of government contracting at Alliance South. Alliance South, a trade show that brings local, state and federal government agencies together with end users and small businesses, was held in Atlanta, Georgia, on December 7, 2010. Although Alliance South is not strictly an open source-focused event, it's one of many industry events that help small businesses get on the Government Services Administration (GSA) schedule. Run Level Media owners, Nick Ali and Joshua Chase, let me shadow them at Alliance South so I could see how this new company looks outside Linux- and open source-focused events to land government contracts.
Open source education projects, such as Open Source for America (OSFA), reach out to educate and advocate for free and open source solutions, but at Alliance South, federal agency representatives already understood benefits that open source solutions might offer. Almost every agency representative I met at the event made it clear that the end-user doesn't care about what type of company fixes their problem, as long as their problem is fixed.
Even if agency representatives understand potential benefits to using open source solutions, open source solution-providers must contact and convince the agency decision-makers. At events like Alliance South, small business owners can learn how to navigate the government contracting process. Successful government contractors shared stories about their failed attempts to secure contracts and what they learned from each effort. The contractors recommended persistence, collecting feedback, and adjusting your strategy.
Chase said his takeaway from the event was to be persistent in the efforts to get their product paperwork in front of the right procurement people. "Run Level Media will be partnering with CFO Leasing to get their solutions out to government agencies of all levels," Chase said.
At Alliance South, Chase and Ali also learned more about the important role details such as company designation (for example, minority-owned business) plays in becoming a government contractor, and they left the event with specific codes to help improve their chances of getting Run Level Media paperwork in the hands of the right agency decision-maker.

Our take: This rapid deploying tactical Bi-pod Fore-grip is extremely durable and mounts easily to all 20mm Weaver rail systems. The robust design ensures that this bi-pod grip can support even the heaviest support weapons. The Bi-pod grip can be quickly and easily mounted to any standard rail system through its easy to use screw on 20mm mount. The grip deploys the bi-pod legs with the push of a button for rapid deployment, which is perfect for intense airsoft firefights. This Bi-pod grip provides a great and sturdy shooting platform, ensuring that you are on target every time. This Bi-Pod Fore-Grip is perfect for support gunners, designated marksman, or even sniper rifles! Bring your airsoft game to the next level with this rugged Bi-Pod Grip!NOTE: This grip-pod DOES NOT include the gun displayed in the product images.Specifications:Weight: 6.7 oz.Height: 6" (retracted), 8.5" (deployed)Material: High Grade Tactical NylonOperation: Push Button Deployment
"I bought this to use with an Army SAW and M4. It's not quite as sturdy as the $60+ ones I've found from gun websites, but it is great for the cost. The only issue I'm having is a weak spring. When deploying the bipod, the legs only come out about 2/3 of the way. After that I have to pull them out. I'm going to try to put a few drops of gun lube on the legs to see if that will help them slide out. If not, I'll just find a replacement spring. If that's the only issue I have, it is well worth paying 1/3 the price."
found this review helpful.
"I like this foregrip. It feels solid, and the bipod is very useful. Plus, you can take the bipod out, if you so desire. I use this on my JG S-System M4, and I would definitely buy it again."
"this is the handle bipod on most of the custom guns."
"Just received this, and I freakin' love it. Really sturdy, durable, it fits great on my G&G M4 Raider's rails. No wobbling whatsoever. The only problem I have is the same as the review below. With the rattling of the springs and whatnot inside it when you deploy the bipod, you get used to it, and no It's not broken."
"its great, well i like it.
its abs plastic but it will take some punishment, its a little noisy so you have to take it out carefully, its black and the spring rattles so you have to put some cushioning in there. but its very convenient and cool and well worth $20
yeah and dont ask questions here this is for reviews. if you have a question then ask the techs by email"
"it attackes to the bottom rail it is basicly a fore grip and out of the bottom a bipod comes out"
"they have it on a gun they sell(i dont kno which, probly a sniper AEG)
kinda like this(this on left, ergo one on right):
| | | |
| | | |
| | ( )
/ \
bipod part is small, as you can see, but grip is same as on ergo"
"ok the grip you want to put on the top so your aim can be steady... oh or on the side since ya shoot like a gangster maybe put it on the stock for a extended stock?"
"it is very loud when u press the button and somthing rattels around in it... not for sneaking
"i just got this bipod today
it fits perfectly on my rail
but when the press the button and the bipod shoots out, the spring and other objects inside it moves around and raddles , but when u put the bipod back up it makes no sound"
"So I bought the JG M4 S-System and read the reviews here, I even called to ask first I this bipod would fit. Being former military I knew the advantages of this type of grip since I used a similar one. However! This POS will not fit on the standard rails that come with the M4. Waste of 20 dollars. I have tried for hours mind you to find a way to get it to fit."

BATON ROUGE, La. —
Penn State coach Coquese Washington spent an entire season preaching defense, and it helped the Lady Lions win even on nights when shots weren't falling.
That is, until the final minutes of their second-round NCAA tournament game against LSU.
Adrienne Webb scored a career-high 29 points, including a pivotal 3-pointer with 3 minutes left, Bianca Lutley added a clutch basket in the final 40 seconds, and LSU upset third-seeded Penn State 71-66 on Tuesday night.
"We've held teams scoreless the last five, six, seven, eight minutes of a game, and we didn't do that tonight," Washington said.
"When they needed a basket, they got a basket. So defensively I felt we could have been a little bit better."
Nikki Greene had 16 points and 16 rebounds, and Alex Bentley scored 14 for Penn State
(26-6), whose loss meant all four No. 3 seeds were out of the tournament.
Bentley's night started strong but ended with a miss in the final minutes that could have given the Lady Lions the lead.
"They just came out in the second half with a little bit more firepower and a little bit more determination," said Penn State forward Mia Nickson. "It's really tough. We worked really hard to get here. ... It's going to be hard to swallow."
