Neighborhoods: El Montevideo, Ward 6
The Service – They share tips at Sushi Garden. The servers wander around aimlessly like chickens with their heads cut off just doing whatever needs to be done. There is no order to this madness. 95% percent of mistakes made at Sushi Garden are due to some miscommunication between the 6 or 7 servers that have visited your table and confused your order and each other. There is no accountability for the mistake because no one owns it and no one knows who it was; therefore, the blame is placed up in the air and forgotten about, while the restaurant continues to lose money on server mistakes, but does nothing to correct it. That being said, it is still one of the busiest places around Tucson, and the money is consistently good.
I would not recommend this place for a happy hour – My friend and I were looking for a place where we can get sushi after shopping at foothills mall. Came in and it so happened that it was still a happy hour deal. We have two menu one pricing for happy hour and another one for regular pricing. We decided to mix some order with regular menu and a few from happy hour menu. we ordered a few and noticed that they put more rice than anything else, we had left over. I asked the waitress to put the few left over in a box for us to take home. They were charging us $8 for a few left over. We were not inform that we incur charges if we decided to take home. I won't come back again to this place.
Not worth it... – The service was slow, the buffet was sparse and bland and the tables were about 1 foot apart from each other, nothing like having someones rear end inches away from your food while eating.
Worst place I've eaten – Their teriyaki chicken is the worts I've ever had in my life(Yokohama rice bowl teriyaki is better even thoug is a fast food place) also my son loves to eat chicken strips and we asked for some kind of chicken strips plate and my son did not eat any of them, then I tried it and they tasted like plastic, no wonder he did not eat any at all. I would not recomend this place and I am not coming back never. Also is expensive for the food you get. As soon as we got out of there my friend started to get a rush in his face and arms kind of an allergic reaction for the sushi he ate. My husband asked for sushi and it was not good at all.
Do not go there.
don't eat here – I do not recommend this restaurant at all. I went there with a group of friends and they had all been there before, but it was my first time. I've been to a quite a few sushi places, and this was by far the worst. Terrible sushi, terrible service. For me the sushi was almost inedible, after my first piece i couldn't choke down any more. It had a really weird taste and did not seem fresh at all. save yourself the trouble and dissatisfaction and go some where else.
Avoid at all cost – Went to sushi Garden for the first time last night, to try their all you can eat menu. The menu is quite large, with a good selection of rolls and nigiri. I also went during happy hour so i came away with a $4 Sake Bomber. So good so far, then came out the Sushi, It looked good, besides the flourescent Tuna, and that was about it, the freshness of the fish was clear. It was not fresh to say the least. All pieces tasted weird to me, So I tried the rice alone, wasn't that, so i tried the wasabi alone, although that wasn't the best, it still wasn't that. So I tried the Yellowtail, Shrimp, and Tuna alone, Found It! It is obvious that this is not fresh fish. There was a foreign taste to it, that tasted like plastic mixed with some sort of preservative.
If you want good tasting fish this IS NOT the place to go. I couldn't imagine ever eating even a small order of Sashimi. Sorry but this desert Sushi place should be avoided at all cost, I am just glad I did not get sick. Sushi Rookies will be tempted by their commericals and all you can eat, but please don't ruin your first experiences because it can ruin your Sushi experience for the rest of your lives.
No Sushi Dance for me!
Some of the best sushi I've had and at the best price! – Sushi Garden has delicious, fresh, and very reasonably priced sushi! I have been to numerous places that are much more expensive and the sushi was never better than Sushi Garden's. The new location at the Foothills Mall has decor that is very chic . The Alvernon and Broadway location is the original. The interior is a little less hip. But the sushi is still good and that's the most important thing! The lunch buffets are good considering the price but the selection on the sushi available from the buffet is a little limited. But there is a nice variety to choose from considering the rest of the items. The all you can eat for $20 is a good if you have a big appetite but beware, you must finish everything you order, including the rice!
Sushi Garden (either location) is a must try for anyone. Whether you are wanting to try sushi for the first time or you've been eating it for years!
You'll pay for the food, not the service – First off, I do have to say that the food is excellent. I've been back 6 times and never once did I get a fishy piece of fishy, if you know what I'm saying.
...However...the service is something to be desired. Depends on who the server is but over 50% of the time I've been there I don't get refills and have to track down the waitress for additional food. Hopefully the servers are getting the message when they don't receive a tip, but that doesn't seem to be working very well.
If the restaurant would upgrade the quality of its servers, it would be absolutely the choice place to eat.
Plates were dirty, appeared to be wiped down! – My family and I visited your restaurant on 01/06. Needless to say we had a bad experience with the cleanliness of the flatware. We had a party of six, when the plates were brought to us, I was the first to immediately notice that the plates, I was sitting on the table where the sun hits and was able to observe the dirty plates right off the bat, initially I thought it was the 1st one, then we decided to inspect all 6 of the plates and this was the case for all, all 6 WERE NOT ran through a dishwasher, you can still see residual grease and either the napkin marks, or rag marks that apparently were used for wiping these down. Please do not confuse the residual that is at times left over on plates after being removed from a dishwasher, I myself use a dishwasher and know first hand exactly what that looks like and have been to several places where this is the case, this absolutely was NOT the case at the Sushi Garden, the plates were obviously dirty all 6 of them, one even had a reddish liquid smeared on the side of the plate(like left over from a previous customer), not only where these "wiped down" it was done in a very sloppy way. We asked the waitress to call the manager so that we can bring this to his attention. Manager tried to explain that the dishes "are ran through a machine" but I am 100% sure these were not. We got up and left.
There are so many health hazards, especially in a sushi place, and the thought that Sushi Garden can care less about their customer's health just disgusts me. If they don't care enough to serve clean plates where it's ovbious to the custome, wonder what goes on behind the scenes. FYI-they have several violations, per the PIMA COUNTY HEALTH DEPT.

Do High Flyers Maintain Their Altitude? Performance Trends of Top Students
September 20, 2011

John Cronin
Sarah Durant
"Do High Flyers Maintain Their Altitude? Performance Trends of Top Students," is the first study to examine the performance of America's highest-achieving children over time at the individual-student level. Produced in partnership with the Northwest Evaluation Association, it finds that many high-achieving students struggle to maintain their elite performance over the years and often fail to improve their reading ability at the same rate as their average and below-average classmates. The study raises troubling questions: Is our obsession with closing achievement gaps and "leaving no child behind" coming at the expense of our "talented tenth" and America's future international competitiveness?

Any number of organizations are offering advice about what to teach schoolchildren about the events of September 11, 2001, yet (unlike that day's murderous pilots) most sorely miss the mark. Fordham's publication, "Teaching about 9/11 in 2011: What Our Children Need to Know," highlights the danger of slighting history and patriotism in the rush to teach children about tolerance and multiculturalism. It combines ten short essays by distinguished educators, scholars, and public officials from our 2003 report, "Terrorists, Despots, and Democracy: What Our Children Need to Know," essays that feel more timely than ever, and includes a new introduction by Chester E. Finn, Jr. reflecting on how the lessons of these essays apply today.

The Common Core and the Future of Student Assessment in Ohio
August 29, 2011
Emmy L. Partin
Kathleen Porter-Magee
Jamie Davies O'Leary
Ohio adopted the Common Core standards in ELA and math in June 2010, but now stands at a crossroad in making sure statewide assessments are aligned to those standards. Ohio is a participating member in two federally funded assessment consortia—the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) and the Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Career (PARCC)--but is a decision-maker in neither. This primer outlines both consortia and suggests that Ohio make a decision soon to begin the massive reboot required to realign assessments, professional development, and accountability systems to match the Common Core.

The State of State U.S. History Standards 2011
February 16, 2011
Jeremy A. Stern
Sheldon M. Stern
Reviewers evaluated state standards for U.S. history in grades K-12. What they found is discouraging: Twenty-eight states—a majority—deserve D or F grades for their academic standards in this key subject. The average grade across all states is a dismal D. Among the few bright spots, South Carolina earns a straight A for its standards and six other jurisdictions—Alabama, California, Indiana, Massachusetts, New York and the District of Columbia—garner A-minuses. (The National Assessment's "framework" for U.S. history also fares well.) Read on to learn how your state scored.

WASHINGTON—With the new millennium six months away, U.S. nuclear power plants are on the verge of achieving complete Year 2000 readiness.
The electric utilities that own and operate nuclear power plants have only 58, non-safety computer items left to remediate industrywide. Because all of these items have firm completion schedules, the industry is confident that plants will continue generating electricity as reliably on Jan. 1, 2000, as they do today.
Sixty-eight of the nation's 103 operating reactors have completed all remediation—encompassing safety, operating and site support systems—and are Y2K ready.
The other 35 reactors have a total of 58 computer items left to remediate. Of the 35 reactors with remediation work remaining, none has outstanding items that affect plant safety. Only 21 are remediating plant operating or support systems, and the other 14 are remediating site support systems that do not affect plant operations.
Examples of systems that will be remediated include plant operating systems that directly control electricity production, such as the digital feedwater system; plant support systems that perform monitoring or backup functions, such as the condensate polisher system; and site support systems that are not tied directly to power plant operations, such as work management systems.
Many of these outstanding items are scheduled for remediation during reactor refuelings, which routinely are scheduled in the fall so that the plants' ability to provide electricity at the most economical rates during hot summer months is not impeded.
"The nuclear energy industry has taken early and thorough action on its Y2K readiness program, and is on track to achieve full Y2K readiness well before the Year 2000 rollover," said Ralph Beedle, senior vice president and chief nuclear officer of the Nuclear Energy Institute.
"Most importantly, safety functions will not be affected by Y2K issues. Because of the breadth of plant readiness efforts, we are resolving the last remaining items that would in any way affect general plant operations and site support systems. We will continue in the weeks and months ahead to review and refine contingency plans and to participate in industrywide drills. Our goal is to achieve operations-as-usual across the industry at midnight, Dec. 31."
During the past two years, the industry has tested approximately 200,000 items potentially susceptible to Y2K issues. Approximately five percent of these, or 10,000 items, needed remediation. As electric utilities wrap up internal remediation activity, they are devoting resources to working with vendors that provide services to the facilities to ensure a problem-free rollover.
The Year 2000 problem, commonly described as the "millennium bug," results from programming that allows years to be recorded as only two digits. Because four digits are required to make the change from 1999 to 2000, concern exists that operations in a host of businesses, industries, governments and other institutions will be disrupted by computer systems that erroneously read the year 2000 as 1900.
The electric utilities that operate nuclear power plants in 31 states reported their Y2K readiness status to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) on July 1. NERC is the coordinating group for regional and national electric reliability issues.
The NRC, in testimony before Congress and in other forums, has said that no Y2K problems have been identified that directly affect the proper functioning of safety systems at nuclear power plants. Additionally, the NRC has voiced its commitment to do what is necessary in its oversight of nuclear power plant readiness efforts for the facilities to safely operate through Jan. 1, 2000, and beyond.
The Nuclear Energy Institute is the nuclear energy industry's policy organization. This news release and additional information about nuclear energy are available on NEI's Internet site at http://www.nei.org.

For the bulk of the Foundation's existence it has supported the development of leaders and, by extension, their communities. Since 1965, the Foundation has supported the leadership development of over 2,200 Bush Fellows. In 2010, the Foundation launched the Bush Fellowship Program, which has just announced the most recent cohort of Bush Fellows. Below you can read about the programs that preceded it.
Bush Leadership Fellows Program
The Bush Leadership Fellows Program (BLF) grew out of founder Archibald Bush's observation that if he'd had a mid-career opportunity to strengthen his skills and refocus, he could have been a more effective leader in the later part of his career. In the early part of the BLF program, fellowships focused mainly on starting or ending degree programs; as time progressed, the fellowships embraced the idea of self-directed study.
The dollar amount of fellowships varied based on the number of months an applicant applied for. The fellowship included a monthly stipend and could also include tuition and travel funds. Between 1965 and 2010, the Bush Leadership Fellows Program invested more than $41 million in nearly 1,400 individuals.
Bush Artist Program
The Bush Artist Fellowships (BAF) began supporting individual artists in 1976. Between 1976 and 2010, BAF gave 476 fellowships to 431 artists totaling nearly $15 million. A 2006 evaluation of BAF showed that mature artists did not have the support they needed when they were often at the most creative point of their careers, and that artists in the Dakotas did not have access to the same infrastructure as Minnesota artists.
As a result, in May 2007, Foundation expanded its programming around individual artists by creating the Bush Artist Program (BAP). BAP would continue to make fellowships to individual artists through the BAF program, but BAP also included two new initiatives. Dakota Creative Connections (2008-2009) made small grants to artists at early stages of their careers to support their development (20 grants totaling $99,000). The Enduring Vision Awards (2008-2010) supported mature artists with grants of $100,000 to support them over a three- to five-year period; nine artists benefitted from this program for a total of $900,000.
Bush Medical Fellows Program
The Bush Medical Fellows Program (BMF) started in 1979 as a program to improve health care in rural communities by supporting primary-care physicians from those communities as they developed additional clinical skills. The program later expanded to include urban physicians and eventually specialty-care physicians as well. In October 2009, the Foundation announced it would cease operation of the BMF program so that it could more closely align the Foundation's fellowship programs with its leadership and community engagement goal. From 1979 to 2009, 324 physicians received fellowships totaling nearly $15 million.
Bush Fellowship Program
In November 2010, the Foundation launched the Bush Fellowship Program, which replaced these previous programs. The purpose of the Bush Fellowship Program is to better equip and better network leaders to more effectively lead positive change within their communities. Meet the Bush Fellows.

Most Americans are consuming nearly 1,000 milligrams of sodium over the recommended daily amount. Not surprisingly, overly processed food is the main culprit; however, even foods that seem like healthy options can be sabotaging your get-healthy efforts. According to the Center for Disease Control, "Most of the salt in your diet comes from foods that might not even taste salty, such as breads, meats and dairy products."
Cottage cheese
While highly processed cheese slices are a known salty snack, cottage cheese has been recommended for dieters as a high-protein, low-calorie option. Unfortunately, one serving of this favorite of many dieters can contain up to 15 percent of your daily sodium.
Frozen "diet" meals
There are many healthy meal options in the freezer section of the store. It's obvious you should avoid the pizza rolls if you are watching your waistline, but foods marketed as "diet-friendly" (low-calorie and portion-controlled) can fool you. Even though they are low-calorie, the sodium in one meal is commonly 20 to 30 percent of your daily intake. If you're eating three of these a day, plus two prepackaged snacks, you could easily exceed the daily recommendations.
"Light" breakfast sandwich
If you're watching your weight, a convenient and healthy breakfast may include a low-fat, low-calorie frozen egg and turkey sausage sandwich on a whole-wheat bagel. But, if you check the nutrition information, you might be shocked to see this sandwich contains nearly 30 percent of your daily sodium. Do your diet a favor and avoid the frozen breakfast sandwich.
Sports drinks
If exercise is part of your get-healthy plan, watch out for flavored sports drinks. Often touted as good for exercise recovery, these drinks can sneak in more salt than needed. While strenuous exercise may warrant salt replacement, often it is unnecessary. Make sure you talk to your trainer or physician about your specific needs.
Salty side: Be sure to check the sodium levels in items marked "less sodium" or "light sodium." They may still contain excessive levels of salt.
Enhanced frozen chicken
Chicken breast is a great, lean protein. However, what might surprise you is that many bags of frozen chicken (even if they're labeled "all natural") are injected with a salt-water solution that dramatically increases the amount of sodium in the meat (500 percent increase from its natural state). This enhancement may mean a juicier meal, but the added salt may not be worth it.
What's the solution?
Your best bet for ensuring a successful diet according to Christina Servetas, registered dietician, is to "eat whole foods, cook for yourself and remove the salt shaker from your table."

Really Fun!
Loved this mini-game in the original Tekken Tag on PS2, and I'm glad to see it back! The game is really fun, and brings back good memories. The puzzle mode is definitely the best part of the game, with controls being infinitely more enjoyable than the ones found in the arcade mode. The game does suffer from a lot of sporadic crashes (playing on iOS 5, iPad 1), with some of them affecting save progress (puzzle progress is not saved until the next level loads). Also, there are frequent audio skips, and a weird animation state pop that sees the character pop from their victory animation to their bowling stance (must look closely to see this!).
Either way, this is a great resurrection of a long-standing Tekken mini-game, and I play it every day. Now, please bring back P. Jack with the Termo-Vision aiming!!
Finally the iPhone has a GOOD game
As an avid fan of Tekken, I was severely disappointed when iTunes had no Tekken games. However the addition of a new Tekken bowl game has completely blown my mind. Not only is it Tekken bowl but it's Tekken bowl as you've never experienced it before. A completely new experience with new setting, story, and characters. Call of Duty and Skyrim watch out! Because Tekken Bowl is coming for you, and will take your place on that pedestal known as game of the year!
I love tekken but this is a mini game in tekken 4, i really hope you guys consider making ports of actual tekken games. i mean you guys did a amazing job making an port for the first soulcaibur, and it would an amazing thing to see at least the first 3 tekken games in itunes for download. plz consider this review and keep up the great work bandai namco.

Group Urges State Minister of Education to Follow the Lead of Himachal Pradesh and Punjab and Give Cruelly Produced and Eco-Unfriendly Leather the Boot
Madhya Pradesh – Following Himachal Pradesh's and Punjab's landmark proposals to require schools to use only animal- and eco-friendly canvas or other non-leather footwear for uniforms, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India has sent letters to Madhya Pradesh Minister of School Education Archana Chitnis and officials of all other Indian states urging them to follow suit.
"This measure would protect animals and the environment and also empower children with the opportunity to be animal- and eco-friendly consumers", says PETA India Corporate and Government Affairs Liaison Sarfaraz Syed. "Most children naturally care for animals and the environment and prefer wearing more comfortable canvas shoes over leather or other materials, so transitioning to canvas-only shoes for all school uniforms would be a win-win-win situation for all – children, animals and the environment."
Leather shoes have a highly disastrous environmental and animal welfare cost. PETA's undercover investigations have revealed that cows and other animals are often so severely crowded in trucks on their way to slaughter that many animals sustain serious injuries or die when they are crushed or gored by the horns of others. At slaughterhouses, many animals are skinned and dismembered while they are still conscious.
What's more, turning the skins of cows, buffaloes, sheep and goats into leather requires massive amounts of toxic chemicals, and runoff from leather tanneries poisons local rivers and streams. The toxic chemicals that tannery workers are exposed to on a daily basis have been linked to nervous disorders, skin and respiratory infections and even cancer.
Canvas, on the other hand, requires relatively little maintenance compared to other popular shoe materials, including leather. As a result, it has become extremely popular among environmentalists, who have pushed for the use of canvas tote bags and other applications of the material. With the growing interest in physical fitness, canvas shoes will be the preferred footwear for children in years to come for the comfort that they provide. Canvas is recyclable and a renewable resource, and shoes made from it are biodegradable, can be washed easily and are sturdy enough to stand heavy wear and tear. In addition, the environmental impact of canvas shoe production is negligible in comparison to that of shoes made of other materials. Eco-friendly materials such as canvas are also resistant to bacteria and mould. The non-animal materials used to create eco-friendly shoes make them irritant-free. They do not cause the allergies or rashes that shoes made from animals can. When eco-friendly footwear is made with plant-based fibres, skin is able to breathe easily.
A copy of PETA's letter – along with video footage narrated by Hollywood actor Pamela Anderson documenting the cruelty inherent in the leather industry – is available upon request. For more information, please visit PETAIndia.com.

3019 Pine Ave, Niagara Falls, NY | Directions 1430143.095048 -79.025094
Mon., Wed. - Thu. 4pm - 11pm;Tue. CLOSED;Fri. - Sun. 4pm - 10pm
Not Impressed Bad First Impression – Our first impression of this restaurant was terrible! A few weeks ago we decided to try out this restaurant as we travel to this area a lot. We were waiting in line for at least 10 minutes (which is normal for a Friday night). Finally, our table was ready. The problem was the manager/owner wouldn't let us go by because he was having a conversation with someone so they were blocking the doorway! They wouldn't move 2 feet so we could get by, I asked twice!!! After a few minutes and their conversation was over, we were allowed to go by to our seat! I would have left right away except for it was Friday and dinnertime so we stayed, against our better judgment. The food was terrible; the pizza was almost burnt and not that great. The tripe was terrible and my husband didn't finish it. My fish and chips were very good and the service was pretty good. I found the treatment by the manager/owner to be totally unprofessional and we will never go back to that restaurant. There aren't that many restaurants around there so I am sure they will always have customers but hopefully none will be treated as we were!
Unfortunate – After reading several positive reviews, I decided to visit La Hacienda with some friends. First, my friends beer, which was in a bottle by the way, was completely flat. The owner was gracious enough to replace the beer but not before he tested it himself by pouring it into another glass. While we waited for our food we listened to some very disgruntled waitresses complain about their boss, not withholding any obscenities, of course. I ordered spaghetti with bolognese sauce. Now, I've ordered bolognese before and I know what it looks and tastes like. This sauce was basically just finely ground meat... no tomatoes, no veggies, no flavor, no nothing! It looked like poo and I bet you can guess what it tasted like. I ate two bites and sent the plate away. Aldo, the owner, refused to take it off my bill! It was a full order and cost over $15 dollars.Then, to top it all off, he doesn't accept credit card! I had intended to treat my guests, but I was embarrassed when my guests had to pool all their cash. I will NEVER return to this establishment.
Fantastic Pizza - best ever for miles around. – This is the very best Pizza outside of New York City, and it is right here in Niagar Falls. I have been coming to La Hancienda for 20 years, and have even had cravings to the point that I asked the restaurant to Fed Ex some pies to my home out of state. This Pizza will have you wanting to make a second trip the next day. And the Beans & Greeens soup (something of a local specailty) is the best available anywhere. I have made many an extended trip to Niagara Falls just to savor this incredible pizza.
Man I miss the pie – Grew up eating at the old LA Hacienda(better atmosphere), but the present place still has the best pies in western New York and very friendly service. They still remember me when I come home from Florida. Pizza is killer with lotsa cheese and perfect crust. Just add lotsa oregano and you have a pizza pie made in heaven.
Great flavors – This may be considered a pizza place, and the pizza is good, but everything else we tried was delicious, authentic italian. The soups were incredible, because it seems they are made fresh daily by the owner, and that is what he eats. Ravioli was very tasty, and the Beef Brasciole was like butter. Excellent red sauce. We ate there our first night and had to go back again. Now I crave a trip back, just for the pasta y fagiole. We tried a small pizza the second night and it just like those gourmet pizzas they sell in the newer brick oven places. Right in the heart of little Italy, with very easy parking on the street. The decor is spanish for some unexplained reason. I asked if it used to be a mexican place, and they said it is an old, long story. Next time I'll ask.

gaseousadj. Deserving of being gassed. Disseminated by Geoff Goodfellow while at SRI; became particularly popular after the Moscone-Milk killings in San Francisco, when it was learned that the defendant Dan White (a politician who had supported Proposition 7) would get the gas chamber under Proposition 7 if convicted of first-degree murder (he was eventually convicted of manslaughter).

In May of 1939, Ralph Ellison, who was twenty-six at the time, asked an old man hanging out in Eddie's Bar, on St. Nicholas Avenue near 147th Street, "Do you like living in New York City?" The man said:
Ahm in New York, but New York ain't in me. You understand? Ahm in New York, but New York ain't in me. What do I mean? Listen. I'm from Jacksonville, Florida. Been in New York twenty-five years. I'm a New Yorker! Yuh understand? Naw, naw, yuh don't get me. What do they do; take Lenox Avenue. Take Seventh Avenue; take Sugar Hill! Pimps. Numbers. Cheating those poor people out a whut they got. Shooting, cutting, backbiting, all them things. Yuh see? Yuh see what Ah mean? I'm in New York, but New York ain't in me!
Ellison took all that down, on a nice neat form. He was asking because it was his job to ask: he was muddling through the Depression on a paycheck from the Works Progress Administration, which people liked to call the Whistle, Piss, and Argue department but which was something to do, anyway, and better than the dole. At its peak, the W.P.A.'s Federal Writers' Project employed more than six thousand writers—from newspaper reporters to playwrights, anybody who used to make some kind of living by writing and couldn't anymore—including Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, John Cheever, and Richard Wright. (At the time, one in four people in publishing was out of work.) It was mired in bureaucracy and inefficiency, you had to take a pauper's oath to get hired, and the whole thing was axed, four years after it got started, by people in Congress who were convinced it was a Communist front. But, before that, Ellison and all those thousands of other writers chronicled American life by interviewing ordinary people.
They also reinvented the interview and changed American journalism forever. The project's folklore editor, Benjamin Botkin, had a mad, beautiful vision. He wanted to turn "the streets, the stockyards, and the hiring halls into literature." From more than ten thousand interviews, the Writers' Project produced some eight hundred books, including "A Treasury of American Folklore" and, in 1939, a volume called "These Are Our Lives." That's not counting the novels, though, which is where a lot of those interviews wound up. In "Invisible Man," which won the National Book Award when it was published, in 1952, an old woman, up from the South, saves Ellison's narrator, a newer arrival, after he collapses on Lenox Avenue, telling him, "You have to take care of yourself, son. Don't let this Harlem git you. I'm in New York, but New York ain't in me, understand what I mean?"
That man in Eddie's Bar, who left Jacksonville, Florida, at the beginning of the First World War, was part of what historians call the Great Migration, which can be confusing, because historians also talk about the Great Migration of Puritans who left England between 1630 and 1641. There's great, and then there's great. The seventeenth-century migration to New England—twenty thousand people—was great because the Puritans thought it was great, and said so every time they got within ten paces of a pulpit: I am founding a city on a hill, a beacon unto the world! I am leading an errand into the wilderness! The twentieth-century migration from the Cotton Belt was great in numbers, but whether it was great for the people who made it was something to wonder about. Was this really the promised land? Was this, Seventh Avenue, home? "Should I have come here?" Richard Wright, who was born in Mississippi and moved to Chicago in 1927, asked, in "Black Boy." Between 1915 and 1918, five hundred thousand blacks left the South; 1.3 million between 1920 and 1930. They drove; they hitched rides; they saved till they could buy a train ticket. They went to cities, especially Chicago, Detroit, New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. They fled Jim Crow, laws put on the books after Reconstruction. Georgia was the first state to demand separate seating for whites and blacks in streetcars, in 1891; five years later came Plessy v. Ferguson. By 1905, every Southern state had a streetcar law, and more: in courthouses, separate Bibles; in bars, separate sections; in post offices, separate windows; in libraries, separate branches. In Birmingham, it was a crime for blacks and whites to play checkers together in a public park. By the nineteen-seventies, after civil rights put an end to Jim Crow and the Great Migration stopped, six million people had left their homes. It was bigger than the Gold Rush. It was bigger than the Dust Bowl Okies. Before the Great Migration, ninety per cent of all blacks in the United States lived in the South; after it, forty-seven per cent lived someplace else. Today, more African-Americans live in the city of Chicago than in the state of Mississippi. In "The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration" (Random House; $30), Isabel Wilkerson, who earned a Pulitzer while working as the Times' Chicago bureau chief, and now directs the narrative-nonfiction program at Boston University, calls the exodus "the biggest underreported story of the twentieth century."
To report that story, Wilkerson became something of a one-woman W.P.A. project. Her research took more than ten years, and is not unlike another chunk of work done by the Federal Writers' Project: documenting the history of slavery, before its memory faded altogether. In the nineteen-thirties, about a hundred thousand people who had once been owned by other people were still alive. Writers' Project writers fanned out to find them, and collected two thousand life stories. Before this, all that historians writing about slavery had was a handful of slave narratives by people who had escaped; accounts written, here and there, by travellers to the South; and tottering piles of letters and diaries left by slave-owners. Oral histories are, as evidence, not without problems. Much depends upon the sensitivity, acuity, and fidelity of the interviewer. But without those W.P.A. interviews—firsthand accounts by people who lived, for part of their lives, as slaves—much of the history of slavery would be unrecoverable.

Rolex is proud to be a major force at play behind tennis' finest events, players and organisations. From Wimbledon and the Australian Open to Swiss phenomenon Roger Federer, Rolex has cultivated a privileged relationship with this great sport.
Since its founding in the early 20th century, Rolex sought to partner with activities that embody passion, excellence and precision. Naturally, Rolex gravitated toward the world of tennis, forming an alliance that dates back to the late 1970s when the brand became the Official Timekeeper of Wimbledon.
For Rolex, the association with Wimbledon has special significance because it is not only the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, but it has also achieved the perfect balance between tradition and innovation, similar to the evolution of Rolex's Oyster Perpetual.
In addition to Wimbledon, Rolex is also the proud sponsor of many other prestigious tennis events, among which Davis Cup by BNP Paribas holds a special place as one of the premier annual men's team competitions in world sport. Rolex has been the Official Timekeeper of Davis Cup since 2007.
In patronage of tennis' exceptional individuals, Rolex counts among its Testimonees Swiss phenomenon Roger Federer. Tennis requires absolute precision and consistency, and Federer, who has been associated with the brand since 2001, has mastered the game better than any other player of all time.
Rolex also stands behind Danish powerhouse Caroline Wozniacki, a world No. 1 and winner of the 2006 Wimbledon Junior Championships, in addition to rising champions Ana Ivanovic (Serbia), Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (France), Juan-Martin del Potro (Argentina) and Li Na (China), who made both tennis and world history by becoming the first player from an Asian nation to win a singles Grand Slam title in 2011.
Driven by a passion for excellence and a great appreciation for tennis, Rolex, the world's leading Swiss watchmaker, is committed to cultivating the strong ties that bind these two prestigious worlds in their shared pursuit of perfection.

If you've taken a course in game theory or economics, you may already be familiar with the Prisoner's Dilemma. Here at the Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell, we just went over it today in class. My professor is the esteemed Robert Frank – I find him to be quite likable and his course to be quite intriguing. For those of you who aren't familiar with him or his work, he has co-authored a textbook with Ben Bernanke (presiding Federal Reserve Chairman), among other things.
At any rate, today he brought up the famed Prisoner's Dilemma, which I vaguely remember seeing during some game theory class during my undergraduate computer science days. In economics, there is a beautiful thing Robert Frank calls the "Invisible Hand", which guides prices to their correct equilibrium points. Before today, the equilibrium points were illustrated as being good achievements for the most part, other than certain social surplus implications, which is another whole topic in itself. But today we were shown the case where the "Invisible Hand" actually guides those partaking in a particular market to a less desirable option. This was illustrated with the Prisoner's Dilemma.
The image to the left from Investopedia.com shows a visual representation of the dilemma. The problem starts like this: there are two prisoners being held for crimes the district attorney knows they committed together. They are given the following plea deals: if one of them confesses and the other does not, the one who confesses gets no time in jail where as the other one gets 20 years in jail. If both of them confess they both get five years in jail. Finally, if both of them keep quiet, they both get three months in jail. The criminals are not allowed to talk to each other before making their decisions.
So, how do they decide? First, you might think that they would both keep quiet and thus get the lightest average sentence. However, the two haven't been able to talk to each other, and even if they were able to talk and reach some sort of agreement, what would keep one of them from backing out and screwing the other one over? These are criminals by the way.
So what gives? Well, if the criminals behaved economically in their own self interests, they would have to confess. The worst case scenario for either of the criminals is 20 years in jail, and this can be avoided for sure by confessing. Neither criminal can trust the other criminal to keep quiet, and even if they thought they could the temptation to break the agreement and get out of jail immediately as well as the constant thought of getting screwed over by the other criminal would most likely dissuade them both. From the standpoint of either criminal, confessing leads to surefire avoidance of the worst option, 20 years in jail. Furthermore, confessing leads to the possibility of achieving the best option, no time in jail, should the other criminal elect not to confess. Thus, by confessing both criminals are eliminating the worst option and keeping the best option on the table as far as either of them know.
The end result is that the "Invisible Hand" guides the prisoners to an equilibrium point that is not as desirable as one that could have been achieved if they somehow could have reached and maintained a compromise. The best result possible collectively for both of them would have obviously been three months in jail each, but in this case we have economics gone wrong, and they end up both spending five years in jail.
It is cases such as this that fuel the need for regulation in certain industries in order to achieve the best collective results. This is why completely unregulated free market capitalism actually isn't always the best answer. And this is why I'm growing to love economics, it really does hold a lot of interesting insights to the way society functions in the world around us.

The Champion Juicer is easy to use.
Designed with simplicity in mind, the Champion 2000+ Commercial Juicer doesn't require nuts, bolts, screws or clamps. Assembly can be completed in seconds. Cleaning is equally quick and painless.
The Champion Juicer is very versatile.
A large feeding chamber reduces prep time by eliminating the need to cut vegetables into smaller pieces. In addition to fresh juices, this unit can also make fruit sauces, baby foods, nut butters, ice cream, sherbets and everybody's favorite - fruit smoothies. Exchange a single part, and your juicer is instantly transformed into a homogenizer. An optional grain mill attachment extends your healthier eating choices to include grains and flour.
The Champion Juicer is powerful.
A heavy-duty motor delivers true, industrial-strength power for an improved masticating process that chews the fibers to break loose high volumes of cells saturated with important healthy values. A floating cutter effectively separates the juice from the pulp in one quiet, continuous - and seemingly effortless - operation. (Bonus: no intermittent cleaning required!)
The Champion Juicer is durable.
Long-lasting stainless steel construction resists both wear and food odor. A stainless steel shaft is complemented by the tempered stainless steel blades cast directly into the cutter for added strength. This way, the blades will never separate, twist, tarnish or rust. The durability of the Champion 2000+ Juicer is backed by a 10 year limited warranty on all juicing parts and motor.
The Champion Juicer delivers the goods.
Your Champion 2000+ Juicer is designed to produce the highest possible quality of juices and foods. It's a difference you can see in the color of the juice: darker, richer colors contain more of the pigments - and nutrients - you desire, while the extracted pulp is pale in color. And rest assured, it's a difference you can taste. Champion juices will likely be richer, sweeter and fuller bodied than any juice you've tasted before.
The Champion Juicer Offers...
- Large Feeding Chamber - 1 3/4 inches in diameter, able to take large vegetables without cutting them into smaller pieces.
- Floating Cutter - designed to separate the juice from the pulp in a continuous operation. No intermittent cleaning required.
- Tempered Stainless Steel Cutting Blades - the blades are cast into the cutter for strength and durability. They never separate, rust, twist, tarnish or easily become dull.
- Designed for simplicity, the Champion Juicer doesn't require nuts, bolts, screws or clamps to assemble. The floating cutter just slides on or off the shaft; a quick half-turn and the body locks on or releases for removal. By changing a single part the juicer is now a homogenizer. It's so simple and all the parts are easy to clean.
The Champion Juicer Juices...
Carrots, Celery, Parsley, Cabbage, Spinach, Apples, Tomatoes, Bell Peppers, Kiwi, Pineapple, Melon and More!
The Champion Juicer Homogenizes...
Nut Butters, Fruit Sauces, Baby Foods, Sorbets, Ice Creams, Sherbets, Purees, Salsa, Muesli and More!
The Champion Juicer is Perfect for nutritious...
Fruit Juices, Vegetable Juices, Nut Butters, Ice Creams, Sherbets, Baby Foods and More!
WARRANTY: This Champion Juicer is warranted to be free from defects in material or workmanship under normal use for a period of ten (10) years from the date of its original purchase. Note: Normal wear of the cutter is covered for a period not to exceed one (1) year.
- Motor Shaft: Stainless Steel
- Horsepower: 1/3 HP
- Watts: 650 Watts
- Operating Voltage: 110 volt or 220 volt (requires re-wiring and new plug available from the manufacturer for an additional cost)
What's the difference between the Commercial Model and the Household Model?
The ONLY difference between the Commercial model and the Household model, other than the additional cost of the commercial, is that the commercial motor has a tighter core winding. What this means is that the commercial has a few more watts to it (650 versus 540), plus you can exert a bit more pressure on what you are feeding into the feeding tube without stopping the juicer cutter. That means you can run the juicer for extended periods of time without the overheat protection kicking in. So, if you are planning on being a hard-core juicer using the machine NON-STOP for more than 20 minutes at a time, then you should buy the Commercial model. If you are planning on juicing for less than 20 minutes at a time and you want to save some money, the household is the way to go. They are IDENTICAL otherwise, same box, same warranty, same parts included, same colors available.

Overly excitable music-business types are looking at Apple's recent deal with HBO, where top-tier shows like The Sopranos are priced at $2.99 per episode on the iTunes Store (as opposed to The Wire's $1.99-a-pop price), as a sign that the company may someday embrace variable pricing, which would allow the music business to revitalize itself by charging the $2.99-a-song price that "4 Minutes" and "Touch My Body" so rightfully command. Thankfully, Anthony Bruno at Billboard splashes a bit of water on this notion by pointing out that the shows that HBO has placed on iTunes last quite a bit longer than three minutes and thirty seconds–which, one would think, might attract just a bit more money–and that most of the variants in price can be explained away by the shows' relative lengths. Prediction: Some poor major-label act is going to be corralled into releasing a 10-minute debut single for the purposes of "testing the $2.99-a-song waters" within the next six months. [Billboard]
Prediction: Some poor major-label act is going to be corralled into releasing a 10-minute debut single for the purposes of "testing the $2.99-a-song waters" within the next six months.
"I Will Possess Your Heart" – six months too soon…
Maybe they'll start breaking up albums. Something like $8 for the singles and $5 for the other stuff.
Yes, Apple caved…to a pay-TV distributor, on shows that are an hour in length and among the highest-rated in cable history. Somehow I doubt that's going to convince Jobs & co. to treat the next Usher single as a prestige release.
Does the industry not understand that 99 cents a song is simply what people are willing to pay, and that raising the price will only result in losing more of the few customers they have left who are actually willing to pay for music at all?
Don't answer that; we already know how much the music industry understands about the internet.
One thing I've never understood about buying TV shows (and subsequent pricing) is the fact that I'll watch a Sopranos episode once, maybe 2-3 times for a good episode. Sure it's an hour long show, but with such low replayability, why bother buying it? On the other hand, songs on my Top 25 Most Played playlist have play counts of 500+ over years of usage.
As far as time goes, I might get more out of a 99 cent single than a 2.99 episode.
@pr0FF3ss0r_j3rkwh3at: I hear Yes is planning a new album….
@pantsonfireliarliar: I'd be way more likely to rent a TV show than to buy one for just that reason. I'm unlikely to watch it twice, so why own it?
Yeah, this could be really bad news for fans of Hawkwind and The Mars Volta.
Fuck 'em. Hope they do it, crash and burn and get it the hell over with. Love to see what the next excuse for failure and potential savior will look like.

WESTERN SAN JUANS – Two former county commissioners are vying for the chance to represent District Seven on the San Miguel Power Association board of directors.
Keith Meinert of Ouray and Terry Rhoades of Silverton will face off for the position in the upcoming SMPA election, the results of which will be announced at the regional power co-op's annual meeting on June 13 in Ridgway.
District Seven encompasses both Ouray and Silverton. Current longtime director of the district, Jerry Hoffer of Silverton, is not seeking re-election.
Meinert served as Ouray County Commissioner from 2007-2011. Prior to moving to Ouray he worked for Texaco for over 30 years in engineering and managerial positions in producing operations, natural gas, sales, alternative fuels and business development. He retired in 1999 as the Vice President of International Marketing and Business Development with Texaco Global Gas & Power. He has a degree in chemical engineering from Georgia Tech.
"I believe a Board of Directors should direct policy and not micro-manage
day-to-day activities," Meinert said. "I will bring to SMPA's Board my extensive experience in technical operations, organizational management, budgetary oversight and long range planning. I know how utilities should function in a regulatory environment."
Rhoades is a fourth-generation Silvertonian who like his father and grandfather before him, spent much of his life working in the local mines. He was a San Juan County Commissioner for 20 years, during which time he served on the Board of Directors of Housing Solutions for the Southwest. He finally stepped down as commissioner after losing the 2012 election. He currently works as a heavy equipment operator and foreman for Maisel Excavation, and has strong community ties in both Silverton and Ouray.
"As a county commissioner, I have worked with many different individuals and know how to work with everyone," Rhoades said. "I use common sense and compromise in all of my dealings both as a County Commissioner and as an individual." Rhoades stressed the importance of Silverton retaining a strong voice at SMPA's table. "We are a place that can get shut down at any time," he said.
Candidate profiles for both Meinert and Rhoades can be found online at smpa.com.
SMPA board members serve four-year terms and have the responsibility of setting the strategic direction for the cooperative. Directors are required to represent the membership on a fair and impartial basis for the best interest of all 9,600 co-op members and attend regularly scheduled board meetings. Attendance at national, state and local meetings is often necessary as well.
The board position representing SMPA's District Five, which encompasses Mountain Village, Ophir and the surrounding communities, is also up for vote in the coming election cycle. However, SMPA officials announced this week, incumbent Rube Felicelli was the only candidate to submit a nomination petition for this position, and is running unopposed.
A seat representing SMPA's District Two, meanwhile, will be filled by appointment on May 20. The position was left vacant when long-time district director Wes Perrin lost his battle with cancer in March. Per the cooperative's bylaws, this slot will be filled by appointment, with interviews and the candidate selection taking place in executive session on May 20. Six candidates have expressed interest in filling the seat: Brian Ahern, Joseph Cooley, Robert Justis, David Oyster, and Lance Waring.
The appointed candidate will finish out Perrin's term, representing the Telluride region until 2015, at which time he can run for re-election.
SMPA members who live in District Seven will receive a mail-in ballot near the end of May. The ballot must be returned no later than 5:30 p.m. June 12. Ballots can be mailed or hand delivered to either SMPA office (in Nucla or Ridgway).
Alternatively, members can vote at the co-op's 74th annual meeting of members on Thursday, June 13 at SMPA's Ridgway office, 720 North Railroad Street.
Member registration begins at 4:30 p.m. There will be a buffet style fajita and taco bar, and door prizes. The event provides a chance for co-op members learn more about SMPA's financial condition and business operations.
"The Annual Meeting is one of our most important events of the year," said SMPA General Manager, Kevin Ritter. "It is an opportunity for our members to get a firsthand look at what we've been doing over the past year and learn about our goals for the future."
