WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Blackboard Inc. (Nasdaq: BBBB) today announced a partnership with the Imagine America Foundation, an associated foundation of the Career College Association, to bring online education opportunities to military veterans in an effort to help them acquire skills needed for success as they move into civilian careers.
As part of the partnership, Blackboard's Professional Education division will work with Imagine America, a nonprofit organization, in support of the IAF LDRSHIP Award over the next five years. Established in 2004, the annual LDRSHIP Award provides eligible military personnel currently enrolled in a CCA institution the opportunity to further their education with grants to put towards their courses of study. Blackboard's support will help veterans, reservists and honorably discharged or active duty young men and women preparing to return from military service to pursue career education.
"We are grateful to Blackboard for their support of this important program for the United States military community," said Robert L. Martin, President IAF. "Blackboard's commitment to adult education creates a wonderful opportunity for the deserving men and women who work so hard on behalf of our country."
Last week, the Career College Association also announced that former commander in chief President Bill Clinton will address its 2010 annual convention in a keynote sponsored by Blackboard. At the event, Clinton will speak to over 1,000 CCA members representing private postsecondary schools, institutes, colleges and universities across the country that offer career-specific education programs. Blackboard works with many of the CCA's member organizations to meet the increased demand for career education and the growing interest in effective learning programs that match the diverse schedules and realities of today's learners.
"Career colleges are increasingly serving the kind of students - working adults, parents and military veterans - whose success will have a major impact on the health and future of our nation's economy and workforce," said Tim Hill, President of Blackboard Learn, Professional Education. "No one understands the intersections between education, opportunity and the economy as well as President Clinton, who has spent a career as governor, president and world leader working to improve the ability for workers and learners at all levels to compete."
"We are honored to have Blackboard sponsor President Clinton's participation in our 2010 annual convention," said Harris N. Miller, President of CCA. "President Clinton has been a true champion of higher education and this is an extraordinary opportunity to highlight the career education sector, our institutions, the work we perform and the students we serve."
President Clinton's keynote address will take place during the convention's General Session on June 11, 2010 at the Palazzo Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Registration for the 2010 convention is now open at: http://www.ccaconvention.org.

Art curator, critic, educator and artist Jack Livingston clearly favors human interaction and quality relationships.
In a "society that is dominated by digital-based technology, which can be exhilarating and even profound," Livingston said, individuals no longer experience "the fleeting deep meaningful tender mercies of everyday life — those unplanned moments of pure natural connection especially the interpersonal kind, those moments of the sublime."
"While the sublime (like love) may be hard to find," said Livingston, "we know it when we feel it."
Livingston's sublime find has ended up on the walls of the 39th Street Gallery in Brentwood.
At the gallery through Oct. 26, Livingston's curation titled "Tender Mercies" features the works of three artists that he has "admired for years."
While their works greatly differ, Livingston said, the artists — Jan Razauskas, Ding Ren and Gerald Ross — "share some common themes: a personal integrity to their work, an understanding of the intimate, a singular notion of the abstract and an ability to delve into the sublime."
Razauskas, an adjunct art professor in Baltimore, wrote that she is "inspired by the transmutative qualities of paint" from liquid to a solid substance.
In her work titled "Mirage," free-flowing lines create rhythmical patterns across random layers of abstractly-shaped spots of color. Its title begs viewers to question what the work is really about. Is the painting an optical illusion? Or, does the painting reveal fleeting aspects of the human condition?
In her photographs, Ren, a self-described nomadic artist and writer explores "cross-cultural patterns and phenomena in relations to home and migration."
Born in China and living part-time in the U.S. and The Netherlands, Ren said that her photographs "address the tension between the familiar and the foreign, touching upon topics of topography, borders and place."
Ren's limited-editon work titled "Studies on Becoming a Closet Formalist" is a series of small hand-printed analogue chromogenic prints depicting "light, sky, water, streaks and smoke."
"I find the need to piece together these tiny patterns and moments so that they formulate a poetry of the quotidian," Ren wrote in her artist statement.
In his oil and graphite paintings, Ross's subjects are historical figures, monuments and places. Ross, a former muralist and current director of exhibitions at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, describes his work as "attempting to straddle a line between serene pictorial elegance" and a mysterious chaotic universe.
Ross's work titled "Monument" recalls the Lincoln Monument — a Lincoln-esque figure is silhouetted against a light-colored monument and clear blue sky.
"I can see some of these as studies for public murals," Ross said.
Other works in his collections include "Niagra," "Shot Tower" and "Monticello."

Nancy Salvato
For those interested, there are many non fiction writings available which document the iniquity of racism in this world, for example, Marci Nafziger's research paper which discusses the extreme injustice that took place during the regime of Pol Pot in, "Khmer Rouge in Cambodia". (2006)
There is a plethora of utopian literature which brings to the logical conclusion what happens when societies reject the notion that man will always be imperfect yet strives to be better based on accepted values of good and bad, instead, imposing an unnatural existence to make the impossible, possible, e.g., "The Giver" (1993) by Louis Lowry, in which the hero exists in, "a seemingly ideal world: a world without conflict, poverty, unemployment, divorce, injustice, or inequality," "1984" Orwell's landmark book about totalitarian society (1949), or Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" (1957) which tells the story where, "a society where individuality and independent thought are demonized and discouraged is brought to its knees when intellectuals effectively go on strike and withdraw their contribution to civilization."
Sometimes it is much easier to understand a concept like freedom or racism by creating a story in which the reader can identify or empathize with characters; in education this is called making a text to self connection. This can happen with movies, as well. For instance, in "Planet of the Apes" (1968) the imagery really hits home at the end of the movie when, as the movie ends, the protagonist glimpses the half buried Statue of Liberty in the horizon.
In the world today, there are many people trying to eradicate racism. There are two different ways of looking at it. I happen to agree with Michael S. Berliner and Gary Hull, who explain, "Racism is the notion that one's race determines one's identity. It is the belief that one's convictions, values and character are determined not by the judgment of one's mind but by one's anatomy or blood. " (ARI 2002)
I believe with Berliner and Hull that the diversity movement, which "claims that its goal is to extinguish racism and build tolerance of differences," is a complete sham. They are correct when they argue that, "one cannot teach students that their identity is determined by skin color and expect them to become colorblind. One cannot espouse multiculturalism and expect students to see each other as individual human beings. One cannot preach the need for self-esteem while destroying the faculty which makes it possible: reason. One cannot teach collective identity and expect students to have self-esteem." (ARI 2002)
What is frightening is that the pursuit of ideas such as multiculturalism and diversity is identical to the pursuit of the utopian society, the logical conclusion of which always leads to some kind of Marxian utopia that can only exist if people who do not want to subvert their own thoughts and ideas are eradicated. More frightening is that, "intellectual diversity, i.e., the diversity of ideas," is being eradicated on campuses across the United States as "Intellectuals" preach from their "bully pulpits" the notion of "political correctness" which instead of valuing real diversity pursues abject conformity. (ARI 2002)
Regarding race, Ward Connerly writes, "Let us not put ointment on the wound of race, let us cut it out of the body politic like the cancer that it is. That will require deregulating race, getting the government out of the race business altogether, not asking American citizens the odious question about their ancestry, because it should be no more relevant to the government than one's religion — and that question is forbidden...The president could also issue an Executive Order eliminating those silly little race boxes from government forms; and he could help to eliminate the race question from the Census.
America does not need another generation of "racial healing" programs. America needs to consign race to the ash heap of history where it rightfully belongs." (NR 2003)
While Ward Connerly tries to extinguish racism and elevate our society to a point where the question of race doesn't enter into the question of who is best qualified for admission into a university, there are others in the academic community who believe that race and gender absolutely need to be taken into consideration. "Justice Powell, who wrote the Court's decision in the Bakke case, said race could be used as a "plus factor" in an admissions process. When race is used as a plus factor, it necessarily influences admissions decisions. At its simplest, whenever an adjustment is made for any characteristic, that adjustment may prove to have made a difference in the ultimate admissions decision."
The notion of entitlement seems to be pervasive in a society that embraces moral relativism and is eliminating rank and competition in our educational institutions. Multiculturalism says to recognize and elevate people on the basis of color, not individual achievement. Moral relativism does not recognize universal standards. Deserving or not, larger numbers of people believe they are owed jobs, money, a certain standard of living.
P.J. O'Rourke explains why entitlement is wrong. "Freedom is not empowerment. Empowerment is what the Serbs have in Bosnia. Anybody can grab a gun and be empowered. It's not entitlement. An entitlement is what people on welfare get, and how free are they? It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights -- the "right" to education, the "right" to health care, the "right" to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery -- hay and a barn for human cattle. There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." (CATO 1993)
With Barack Obama looking more and more like the Democratic candidate for the 2008 election, people are finally beginning to pay attention to what "change" looks like for the Illinois Senator. Following the primaries, I harbor no illusions about Obama and I'm glad that his bubble has finally begun to burst. Kathryn Jean Lopez, getting right to the heart of the issue, quotes the Rev Jeremiah Wright, "a.k.a. Barack Obama's pastor,"...who compared Obama to the Christ child. "Barack knows what it means living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people. Hillary would never know that."
Wright continues, "Hillary ain't never been called a nigger. Hillary has never had a people defined as a non-person." As a matter of fact, before women could vote, they were considered less than a whole person.
"The more Americans hear this man who's been an influential part of Obama's life for two decades, the more they're going to have the audacity to look beyond Obama's inspirational milquetoast speeches, probing what makes him tick, what influences him, who advises him, what he believes. And not just on Sundays. It's the Wright thing." (NRO 2008)
The bottom line is that if we truly want to eradicate racism, we don't want to elect a man to office whose beliefs embrace racism. If we are to believe that Obama's preacher does not embody Obama's beliefs, and/or that Obama was truly unaware that his preacher believed these reverse racist notions, then he would seem unqualified to be president because he should be surrounding himself by people who are looking out for everyone in the country, not just black people. He should be surrounding himself by advisors who make sure he has all the information he needs to make decisions. A person qualified to be president should make use of all information available.
Here is something that every American should understand.
"White pride," no less than "black pride," is an illegitimate concept. "Pride is a result of working hard and reaching positive goals. For it to have any significance, it must represent a reward, an emotional payment for one's attainments. As such, pride belongs properly only to the individual achiever. It does not redound to others who merely happen to be members of the same ethnic group." Andrew Bernstein (ARI 2002)
A person who wants to be president of the United States is there because he or she is elected to represent all of the people in the highest office of the land. A person who doesn't believe the Constitution to be the "rule of law" or believe his or herself to be a protector of each individual's freedoms should not be running for office. Obama himself says, "Don't tell me that words don't matter." If he believes in this notion, then he believes the words of his preacher or he wouldn't have chosen and maintained for twenty years his church as a house of worship.
Nancy Salvato is the President and Director of Constitutional Literacy Program for Basics Project, a non-profit, non-partisan 501(c)(3) research and educational project whose mission is to re-introduce the American public to the basic elements of our constitutional heritage while providing non-partisan, fact-based information on relevant socio-political issues important to our country, specifically the threats of aggressive Islamofascism and the American Fifth Column.

I simply love DHC products. Since using the lipsticks, I have noticed my lips are much softer and smoother. I have received several compliments how "young" my lips look! I just wish the lipsticks would last a bit longer on my lips.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The third season of Falling Skies could turn into either War of the Worlds or E.T. — which just happen to be two movies directed by Steven Spielberg, an executive producer of the TNT alien-invasion series. A new ally from outer space has given the human resistance the upper hand in their battle for survival against the Espheni, but not everyone is so trusting, especially given recent evidence of a traitor in their midst.
Based on the remarkable true story, SECRETARIAT chronicles the spectacular journey of the 1973 Triple Crown winner. Housewife and mother Penny Chenery (DIANE LANE) agrees to take over her ailing father's Virginia-based Meadow Stables, despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge. Against all odds, Chenery, with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin (JOHN MALKOVICH), manages to navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and what may be the greatest racehorse of all time.

01/28/2008 - In 1948, with less than half of the United States population benefiting from some level of health insurance, the nation's two political parties were hotly debating the wisdom of establishing a national health insurance program.Many of those lacking insurance then were the unemployed, the poor, the aged, the chronically ill and residents of rural areas of the country. For Philadelphians lacking the resources to pay for medical care, Philadelphia General Hospital filled a critical gap. From its origins as an almshouse in the 1730s until its closing in 1977, Philadelphia General was dedicated to the care of the city's indigent residents. In 1948, the hospital admitted more than 25,000 patients, accounting for more than a half-million patient days, at a cost borne by city taxpayers.Today millions of low-income Americans rely on Medicaid, a federal-state insurance program, to gain access to needed health care services. The program plays a key role in reducing the number of individuals who would otherwise be uninsured. In 2006, Pennsylvania's Medicaid program, known as Medical Assistance, provided coverage to close to 15 percent of the state's population, representing 1.9 million people. In Philadelphia alone, approximately 285,000 of Philadelphia's children and families and 110,000 of its disabled residents were enrolled in Medicaid in 2005. The second-largest insurer in the state after the Blue Cross/Blue Shield affiliates, the program supports health services for low-income women and children, as well as individuals with disabilities, and it offers longterm- care coverage for those 65 and older. Approximately 68,000 providers across the state—physicians, hospitals, nursing homes and intermediatecare facilities, and other health and human service agencies—participate in the Medical Assistance program.Despite its substantial scope, Medicaid's role in the health care delivery system is not always fully understood or appreciated, even by key stakeholders. In part, this lack of understanding is a consequence of the program's significant evolution since its establishment more than 40 years ago. Each state's Medicaid program now has numerous eligibility categories, variations in covered services and complicated rules governing program administration. The result often is significant confusion about whom and what services the Medicaid program covers. In recent years, budgetary pressures related to increasing enrollment and federal cost-savings proposals are challenging Pennsylvania policy makers to take a close look at the program. These issues, combined with the increasing flexibility states now have to make significant changes in program design, underscore, as never before, the importance of a comprehensive understanding of Medicaid's reach and impact.To help stakeholders in Pennsylvania understand the facts about Medical Assistance, in 2006 Pew established the Pennsylvania Medicaid Policy Center. Other supporters from across the state include the Jewish Healthcare Foundation, the North Penn Community Health Foundation, the Brandywine Health Foundation, and the Pottstown Area Health and Wellness Foundation. The center's mission is to serve as an independent, nonpartisan source of information and policy analysis regarding Medical Assistance and to highlight the role the program plays in Pennsylvania's health care system and economy.Pew's support for the center is but one component of the Pew Fund for Health and Human Services in Philadelphia. This program also provides operating and project support to nonprofit organizations serving some of the most vulnerable residents in Philadelphia and four surrounding Pennsylvania counties—Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery. These individuals include poor children and families; adults who face multiple, complex issues related to substance abuse, homelessness or chronic mental and physical disabilities; and the frail elderly.Currently, with Pew support, more than 100 organizations are helping 65,000 individuals and families on an annual basis. This assistance takes many forms, such as support that helps frail elderly reduce depression and social isolation, help for vulnerable adults who have low educational levels or inadequate work skills to maintain or obtain competitive employment, and the provision of tools for parents and other caregivers to prevent or reduce problem behaviors in young people.Recognizing the importance of strong organizations in the delivery of high-quality services, the Pew Fund has helped its partner agencies strengthen their overall operations and management in a variety of important ways. With the assistance of the OMG Center for Collaborative Learning, the Pew Fund over the last year has provided capacity-building support to 15 local health and human service organizations to improve such key functions as financial management and analysis, internal communications and program assessment. As a result of these changes, agencies are able to operate with greater administrative efficiency and deliver services that are more effective and responsive to client needs.The Pew Fund's three components— providing support for needed services to address compelling needs, strengthening organizations, and influencing policy—work together to improve the quality of life for some of the Philadelphia region's most disadvantaged citizens.Frazierita D.

Dortmund's Mr Dependable
It's been 15 long years since Borussia Dortmund last featured in the Champions League knockout stages - 15 years since Real Madrid served up a heart-breaking defeat to the then-European champions in the semi-finals. Now finally the wait for knockout football is over, though, and ahead of Dortmund's last 16 first leg with Shakhtar Donetsk, captain Sebastian Kehl - who was just starting on his football journey as a fresh-faced youngster with Hannover back in 1998 - reflects on the club's journey back to join the continent's big boys.
You have been at Dortmund for a long time. Do the young players come up to you and ask about what it was like back in 2007, when the club was still fighting relegation deep into the season?
The lads all realise that things were not looking as good for Dortmund before they got here. But many of them were still playing at Under-14 level at that time. At this early age you don't think about it so much. I can size up the transition over the past ten years as it happened right before my eyes; I started with the high of winning a championship, nearly witnessed the BVB bankruptcy and now am able to celebrate great successes with the team. This development is unique in Bundesliga history.
In the public perception, winning the derby at Schalke in 2010 was seen as a turning point. What happened that evening?
I would not hang too much on that derby win. Of course, this was absolutely thrilling for the people here, but we had won many derbies, which were equally emotional before. I can clearly remember celebrating the derby with fans in the inner city's pubs the next year. The derby is always an important game. I believe we know how the supporters back us and the club and especially over the past few years we paid it back with our successes on the pitch. This makes us proud. The ties between fans and players have always been very good. Even when we were going through rough times on a sporting level we had a close and good rapport with the fans – we needed to have that.
After Jurgen Klopp took over the team in 2008, he managed to take Dortmund back to the top of the league fairly soon. What did he change?
He was able to instil a new spirit to the team and the club. We have created a new philosophy that at the beginning clearly was developed through economic means, but also out of the conviction of Jurgen Klopp. The work he did with the team in building a new system, his new way of playing football - it has inspired the people here. His way of understanding and teaching football, has brought fruitful results. Nearly from day one on we were successful, just missing UEFA Cup qualification. Altogether, Jurgen Klopp is a success story for Borussia.
We are all delighted about the development of the club, which has deserved after many years of barren times and of sacrifice to return to where it belongs - close to the top of Bundesliga on a sporting and economic level. But we all know it has been a tough battle. We have worked hard to achieve this, we did not get anything gifted to us and thus know where, in the end, the source of this success is.
What is Klopp like as a coach from day to day?
The coach has a clear idea of how he wants to play, how defence and attack have to work. Everybody knows what makes him tick and how he has to bring himself into the team. It was different with other coaches. I believe the partnership at Borussia Dortmund with Aki Watzke, Michael Zorc and Jurgen Klopp is superb. Hopefully it will last for a long time.
Dortmund's opponents in the Champions League last 16 are Shakhtar Donetsk. They have been described as one of the tournament's strongest teams but how do you rate them?
There are no easy opponents in the round of the last 16. It is the knockout stage of Champions League. This is a real challenge for us. But we have played very well in the Champions League this season so far. That it will be a difficult task is obvious. Shakhtar also played a very good group stage and left the title holders, Chelsea, behind. But if we play our football, we can cope with this challenge.
What is the difference between this season's Champions League team and last year's? Is it the experience?
It might be that we have shown more flexibility and more intelligence on one or two occasions this season. We have made the next step. You could also see that in our big games against Real Madrid and Manchester City. We have learnt from many things we did wrong last year. Although this does not mean it will always work that way, we need to continue to push on with this process. Last year we made many individual and tactical mistakes and were not ruthless with the chances we had in those games. I can remember matches where we were the superior side like against Marseille but in the end we received a 3-0 drubbing. We were too naive at times, now we are a step further.
With Bayern Munich marching far ahead in the Bundesliga, what are your goals for the remainder of the season?
The gap between us and Bayern is huge. They have been incredibly consistent and give the impression of being very focused. Right now, it does not look like they will give away their lead. We will not give up, though, and as we have said before the season we want to qualify for Europe and reach Champions League. That's huge for us, from a sporting and financial point of view. Bayern's success this year is also down to ours last year. But that is okay. After back to back championships, wanting to achieve the best possible result was obviously the aspiration but it was not expected.
Are the ongoing rumours about the transfers of some players and also the coach an issue in the locker room?
It is not an issue that bothers us largely. Naturally, there will be jokes about it when a big paper once again has a new story. Overall something like this is normal in the business. We were very successful, have distinguished individual players and that other clubs become interested in those lads is a very normal process. But it is something that doesn't worry me - I see it as a proof of the outstanding work of the club and, of course, the outstanding work of the lads.
Right now the Robert Lewandowski to Bayern Munich issue is pretty concrete. Could Dortmund replace him?
Of course I am hoping Robert stays here beyond the summer and the club holds the cards. Robert is under contract until 2014. Naturally, his departure would be a loss for the team as he is an important player. He has said he will decide in the summer. We respect this decision.
And when will Borussia Dortmund have to replace captain Kehl?
They will have to do so at some point, that is obvious. I am 33 now, but still have a great mind to play football and I am fit. I feel comfortable here and I can clearly picture staying at Dortmund for a long time.
Three league titles, a cup win, captain of Dortmund - what is still missing in your career?
Essentially there have been many highs and many lows. The lows were mainly the injuries, the highs were the sporting successes, both with Borussia Dortmund and the national team, and I am looking forward to what is still to come. What is really missing? I will be able to judge that when I have hung the boots up for good but that time has not come yet.

Fourth of July Crafts for Kids
The Fourth of July, or Independence Day, is an American holiday observed to show pride in our nation and to celebrate our freedom. This week's posts will all be devoted to providing fun, creative ideas for teaching kids about their country, patriotism, celebrating the holiday, and safety tips for the events surrounding it. To kick off the fun, we're sharing four great patriotic craft ideas to make with kids. These Fourth of July crafts are designed with the enjoyment of children in mind but will also serve as colorful decorations for your Independence Day cookout or party.
Fourth of July Crafts for Kids #1 - Patriotic Party Wand
This cute star-shaped party wand is perfect for kids to wave at an Independence Day party, parade or fireworks display. It's made from simple, inexpensive craft supplies, such as a wooden skewer, pipe cleaners (red, white and blue ones, of course!), felt, ribbon, and craft glue.
Fourth of July Crafts for Kids #2 - Flag Planter
Are you looking for a patriotic craft project suited for older children (or adults)? This Fourth of July Flag Planter is an excellent choice. Made from recycled materials (a 2-liter plastic bottle and a small cardboard box), wooden craft sticks, acrylic paint and glue, the sturdy planter will provide hours of fun to create and years of Americana decoration as it houses your favorite plants and flowers.
Fourth of July Crafts for Kids#3 – Firecracker Noisemaker
Kids will get a bang (Get it? Bang. Firecracker.) out of making and playing with this fun noisemaker designed to look like a firecracker. Again, this project uses recycled materials and items commonly found around the house – a paper towel tube (a smaller firecracker can be made by using a toilet paper roll); crepe paper; plastic covers (from milk jugs or juice bottles); pipe cleaners; craft glue; and beads, bells, pasta, rice (or anything else that makes noise). The finished product will be a fun, safe way for your kids to make noise during a Fourth of July celebration. It also serves as a playful addition to an Independence Day party, as a party favor or decoration.
Fourth of July Crafts for Kids#4 -Uncle Sam Hat
Get your children involved with Fourth of July home decorations or party preparations by enlisting their help to make this whimsical addition. All that is needed to make an Uncle Sam Hat is one recycled plastic container with a lid (like one used for sour cream or cottage cheese), felt, and craft glue. To add a fun twist to your Independence Day get-together, create a group of these Uncle Sam Hats and fill them with them with party favors or candy, and give them out to your guests.
Complete instructions on how to make the patriotic wand, flag planter, firecracker noisemaker, or Uncle Sam hat, can be found by reading Jo Brielyn's article, Fun Fourth of July Crafts for Kids.

I totally agree!!! These celebs are out …
Comment posted Alicia Keys Performs Beautiful New Track "Not Even The King" by Celeste.
I totally agree!!! These celebs are out here begging for our attention and money and want us to praise them at every turn. Alicia wants us to love her just like any other celeb out here so she does not get a pass when she does wrong. there is a bigger responsibility for them to do their best to do what is right. Yes we all make mistakes, but don't expect us to look over it like it didnt happen and then sit and watch as you try and lie about it. I think the thing that irritates people the most about Alicia Keys with this situation is that she feels she is above everyone else and that she does nothing wrong. Beginning of a hard downfall.
P.S. She need to chill with those damn hand signs…we see you!!!
Celeste also commented
- Swizz Beatz will and always be a liar in my book. He is beyond trash to me. Now as far as Alicia Keys is concerned she is just a dumb bird who got pregnant from a man who was STILL MARRIED and went with him to have a paternity test taken for another child in London. the problem is that these Alicia Keys fans refuse to accept the fact that their precious Alicia would go down such a road. You say that Alicia Keys fan base is wide and that these Black blogs dont matter–okay. thn tell me why she felt like she had to do the interview in Essence Mag a black magazine. Her and Swizz have not been able to keep their lies straight but as all things do will catch up to them

- Alicia Keys Endorses New Reeboks While Performing At The NBA All-Star Game
Let me tell you what this was. Swizz told Alicia that she and her dancers better wear those Reeboks and get up from that piano and dance so everybody can see them. We trying to sell product and make money. I don't care if you cant catch your breath and hit notes while dancing. This is about marketing my Reebok products and oh by the way tell everybody in the band to put on my Monster headphones. Ya'll Alicia trying to keep her marriage together and do what Swizz say. Shesaid The Hell with what I look and sound like, Swizz said Its all about the Marketing, product placement and money. Oh Yeah, you seen her with that blackberry at courtside too right. Alicia is slowly killing her career prostituting products for her man Swizz Beatz . She need to stay in her lane. Piano, writing music, tv/movies, philanthropy. You notice I did not say sing! Just my observation and opinion.

- Mashonda: '[Alicia Keys'] JET Interview Added Insult To Injury'
Mashonda is not bitter. Anyone who read her FULL interview and can comprehend what she is saying knows that she is in a good place. Alicia Keys should have kept her mouth shut. Alicia has no respect for marriage, their children and or even herself. She can sing about Swizz till her throat catch on fire, but the truth of the matter is you cant change a dog. The rumors are already flying around now. Alicia will suffer worse than Mashonda did. People want to talk about relevancy. Every single human being that wakes up with breath in their body is relevant. Never will I EVER think that just because someone is famous is better than me and or anyone else. Much love and blessings to Mashonda and her son.

The OpenCA Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, full-featured and Open Source out-of-the-box Certification Authority implementing the most used protocols with full-strength cryptography world-wide. OpenCA is based on many Open-Source Projects. Among the supported software is OpenLDAP, OpenSSL, Apache Project, Apache mod_ssl.
CKS is an openPGP (RFC2440) compliant public key server. It is currently under development. It is written in C, and runs on Linux. It uses PostgreSQL for key storage, and supports the hkp protocol (it can interface with GnuPG and NAI PGP). The keyserver is mostly functional, and there is a link to a running copy on the homepage.
XCA is an interface for managing RSA and DSA keys, certificates, certificate signing requests, revocation lists and templates. It uses the OpenSSL and Qt4 libraries.

All critical operations, e.g. shuffle of the deck, are performed using advanced cryptographic techniques (so-called Mental Poker solutions) provided by LibTMCG. The outdated OpenSkat branch contains a graphical user interface based on XSkat 3.4. This interface can be used with most recent versions, but must be built separately.
INSERT (the Inside Security Rescue Toolkit) aims to be a multi-functional, multi-purpose disaster recovery and network analysis system. It boots from a credit card-sized CD-ROM and is basically a stripped-down version of Knoppix. It features good hardware detection, fluxbox, emelfm, links-hacked, ssh, tcpdump, nmap, chntpwd, and much more. It provides full read-write support for NTFS partitions (using ntfs-3g), and the ClamAV virus scanner (including a fairly recent signature database and a GUI). It provides partition handling with gParted and also has a network boot facility.
KisKis (Keep It Secret! Keep It Safe!) is an easy-to-use password manager. It allows the user to manage passwords for many different purposes, including network or Internet accounts, credit-card pin-numbers, and password-secured files. The accounts can be grouped hierarchically within a tree structure. Each account can be described by multiple attributes (such as user name or URL), file attachments, and comments. The history of each password change can be tracked. All passwords are stored in a single XML file using OpenPGP messages.

Just like new Sticky street rubber meets lightweight DualSport; big fun can't be far behind. Type "big fun in a small package" into your internet search and it might take you straight to the Kawasaki KLX250SF supermoto. Based on Kawasaki's critically acclaimed KLX250S dual sport on / off-road bike the SF dials up maximum on-road fun with sticky street radials mounted on 17-inch wheels a shorter seat height a bit less suspension travel and a big front brake. It's "just" a 250 but its light weight of just 302 pounds means the KLX250SF packs the sort of performance you'd expect from something bigger and more expensive. Few motorcycles — of any size or price — are capable of out-cornering it.

More about Jizo Bodhisattva
Jizo is known by many names, in Sanskrit "Kshitigarbha", in Chinese "Dizang" or "Ti-tsang", in Korean "Jijang", in Tibetan "Sa-E Nyingpo", and in Japanese "Jizo". Jizo's name can be translated as "Earth Womb" or "Earth Storehouse", and this well reflects Jizo's qualities of caring for those who are vulnerable, and supporting anyone in any realm.
The earliest writings about Jizo are the Sutra of the Past Vows of Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Earth Store Bodhisattva Sutra, and the Sutra of the Ten Kings. These contain many wonderful stories and descriptions of Jizo, and give us an idea of the qualities Jizo possesses. The Sutra of the Past Vows describes Jizos vow to work to liberate all beings, in all realms, even if the good they posses is "as little as a mote of dust, a drop of water, a bit of down." In Buddhism there are six realms (Heaven, Hell, Hungry Ghost, Fighting Gods, Animal, and Human) and for this reason Jizo statues are often found in sets of six.
Jizo's qualities include unflagging optimism, courage, and gentleness, and a nurturing love for all beings. Jizo plunges fearlessly into any place or situation to help those in need. Jizo is especially concerned with taking care of those who are vulnerable, and many stories tell of Jizo helping children who have died overcome the trials that face them in the transition between life and death. In Japan, and now the USA, Jizo has a special relationship with women who have lost children. Jizo is also a benefit for travelers at important life crossroads who may be facing great challenges.
In Japan Jizo is usually portrayed as a child-monk, often carrying a pilgrim's staff with six rings that jingle to warn animals of his approach and prevent mutual harm. Jizo also carries the bright jewel of Dharma truth whose light banishes all fear. Jizo is the only Bodhisattva to appear as a monk (most appear wearing jewels and royal clothing), and one of the two Bodhisattvas who is said to frequently travel in hell and help those suffering there.
There is a short chant (dharani) associated with Jizo, which we chant at Great Vow on a daily basis. Chanting this dharani invokes the energy of Jizo, and may help dispel distressing, repetitive thoughts.

Re-Imagined SIDE SHOW Opens at La Jolla Playhouse, Tonight
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts will produce, in association with La Jolla Playhouse, a re-imagining of Henry Krieger and Bill Russell's Side Show. Directed by Academy Award winning director Bill Condon, the musical will play at La Jolla Playhouse tonight, November 5 through December 17 and will open at the Kennedy Center Eisenhower Theater in spring 2014. The musical features book and lyrics by Bill Russell and music by Henry Krieger who will revise the show before its debut at La Jolla.
Based on the true story of conjoined twins Violet and Daisy Hilton who became stars during the Depression, Side Show is a moving portrait of two women joined at the hip whose extraordinary bondage brings them fame but denies them love. The original 1997 Broadway production of Side Show was directed by Robert Longbottom and received four Tony nominations, including a shared nomination for co-stars Alice Ripley and Emily Skinner, the only time in Tony history where two people were co-nominated for the Best Actress award.
The show's leading ladies - conjoined twins "Violet Hilton" and "Daisy Hilton" - will be played by Broadway favorites Erin Davie (Grey Gardens) and Emily Padgett (Rock of Ages) respectively; Manoel Felciano (Broadway revival of Sweeney Todd) as "Terry Connor"; Matthew Hydzik (Broadway revival of West Side Story) as "Buddy"; David St. Louis (Broadway's Harlem Song) as "Jake."
Henry Krieger began composing for Off-Off Broadway in his twenties, a venue that led to his meeting with playwright-lyricist Tom Eyen. Together with director-choreographer Michael Bennett, they created the long running Broadway hit musical, Dreamgirls, which opened at the Imperial Theatre on December 20, 1981. Dreamgirls won six Tony Awards and Mr. Krieger was nominated for his now legendary score for which he won the Grammy Award for Best Original Cast Album. Dreamgirls generated new success with new audiences as a Dreamworks film written and directed by Bill Condon. The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards including three nominations for Mr. Krieger for "Love You, I Do," "Listen," and "Patience." He received a Grammy Award for, "Love You, I Do." Side Show, his most recent Broadway musical, was directed and choreographed by Robert Longbottom with book and lyrics by Bill Russell. The musical received four Tony nominations, including Best Score. His last collaboration with Bill Russell resulted in Up in the Air, which made its world premiere at the Kennedy Center in 2008 under the direction of Amon Miyamoto.
Bill Russell wrote the book and lyrics for Side Show, receiving a Tony Award nomination for book and sharing a nomination with composer Henry Krieger for score. Mr. Russell co-wrote the book and lyrics for Off-Broadway's long-running musical Pageant (with collaborators Frank Kelly, Albert Evans, and Robert Longbottom), and directed it at the King's Head Theatre in London. The production transferred to the West End, received two Olivier Award nominations, and won that prestigious prize for "Best Supporting Performance in a Musical" for Miles Western's portrayal of Miss West Coast. He authored the book and lyrics for Elegies for Angels, Punks, and Raging Queens (music by Janet Hood), directing it in New York and in London's Fringe and West End, among many others, including a celebrity benefit in New York which was recorded by Fynsworth Alley. Other credits as bookwriter/lyricist include: Off-Broadway's Fourtune and The Texas Chainsaw Musical (co-author), Family Style (Minneapolis), Everything's Ducky and Lucky Duck (with Henry Krieger and Jeffrey Hatcher), and Kept with Henry Krieger and Steven Chbosky. He adapted the book of Call Me Madam for City Center Encores! The Last Smoker in America, for which he wrote the book and lyrics with composer Peter Melnick, will open off-Broadway this summer.

In fact, he refused to blame D'Antoni for misusing him.
"He has his philosophy and system, and the Lakers hired him," said Gasol. "It's not his fault.
"His philosophy is to play with one big guy and four guys spread out, so then he had to make a decision: Dwight or Pau?"
It was an easy decision. The Lakers are committed to making Howard happy so he will return.
"That is correct," Gasol said.
And Gasol is under contract for next season.
"There you go," he said. "I understand that."
So what happens next?
"They try to decide how I can be productive in this mix, while I know I'm not going to be in position to do what I do best and help us win more games. It's frustrating, but it's not going to stop me from playing as hard as I can in whatever role."
We all have bosses who don't always get it right. Believe me, I know.
"I'm fortunate to be doing what I am for a living and being highly rewarded for it," Gasol said. "But it hurts me that this unique opportunity we have with such good players is not being maximized."
Kobe Bryant has already praised Gasol and said he has no worries how Gasol will respond to his disappointment.
"We've won championships together, so Kobe knows," said Gasol. "I like the place where he's at now, unselfishly doing what he can to help us win."
As dominant as Gasol was in the Olympics and as highly regarded as he is in the NBA, he said there have been times when he has felt disrespected by D'Antoni.
"But I'm not going to let it affect me. In a way he's messing with my season, but not my career. I know what I've accomplished, and I still feel like I'm one of the best players in the world."
This isn't his first brush with disappointment. Before last season he was gone in a trade for Chris Paul only to return in a flash when the deal was vetoed by the NBA commissioner. His name continues to be mentioned in trade rumors.
But without knowing what Howard is going to do, it's unlikely the Lakers will risk trading Gasol.
"Dwight is a huge presence defensively," said Gasol. "But in a perfect world I'd love to see us dominating as an interior couple, thereby making everything easier for our teammates.
"I'm always trying to pass to Dwight to get him going. He hasn't been very effective from the post, so I want to give him easy shots and get him into rhythm. You know he's going to get fouled and then he'll make one out of two."
Gasol still has a sense of humor, and he will continue to need it.
"Nothing is going to change, but I have no doubt we could coexist and dominate every single game," Gasol said, the proof in how well he played alongside his brother for Spain.
"I believe 100% if I was starting inside with Dwight we could make the playoffs. I just don't know if coming off the bench gives the team a chance to be better and win more games."
I also took care of the tip for coffee in case Gasol is still here a year from now and picks up the next round.

It is a no frills, (shakes and rings) get in get out, type of food. You walk in to get a burger and fries, as the name suggests, and you walk out with a grease soaked bag. What else can you ask for?

"Our students did very well in this competitive process," said Major Michael Minaudo, chair of the university's Military Science Department. "This affords them with an opportunity to truly experience and become immersed in a different culture."
Cadets travel in cadres of about 20 students from across the country. The students will volunteer in a variety of countries, including Vietnam, Tajikistan, Singapore, Rwanda, the Philippines, Namibia, Mali, Honduras, Guatemala, Croatia and Cambodia. They will teach English to children, work with people who have disabilities, rebuild weak infrastructures and work with foreign militaries.
The U.S. Army funds the month-long program, which even includes a stipend for the students. Before deployment, the students will go through a five-day soldier readiness process in Fort Lewis, Wash.
Travis Salley, a junior majoring in music, said he applied to learn a new point of view. He will spend his summer in Singapore.
"It will provide me with a perspective of cultural and societal norms outside of my American way of life," Salley said. "I think it will also help relations with other countries. If they see Americans helping with humanitarian efforts, they may want to expand their efforts too."
In addition to the Nevada students participating this summer, Major Jerome Guerrero, assistant professor of military science at the university, will be participating. He will lead a cadre of cadets at Cape Verde, a group of islands off the North African coast.
"I am excited to get to travel to a new part of the world," Guerrero said. "As an officer, you may be asked to serve in a foreign country. This experience will give these cadets a broader cultural perspective. These experiences will make them well-rounded and good Army leaders. It teaches the cadets empathy for other cultures and religions."

Campus Strictness:
"Strictness" is almost non-existant at Stanford. #Yolo. You can drink in the dorms, they just prefer you do it with your door open. The lawyers in the office of Risk Management determined it's safer that way than having students hide it. Campus security patrol but don't do a whole lot besides issue parking tickets. They call the police if there's an incident otherwise.
Campus Strictness:
The campus is generally strict enough to keep people safe but definitely not too strict. You have your own freedom on campus and policies are amenable.
Campus Strictness:
Overall it's pretty lenient, thought I think the administration has gotten increasingly strict in the past decade, especially with housing (i.e. students have less jurisdiction over what happens to coops).
Campus Strictness:
Stanford holds its students to high standards.
Campus Strictness:
The campus police are not very strict. If you're a good kid and you don't drink or do drugs you should be fine but if you do it's not that often that you'll be severely punished.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Alexandria Butler
In recent years, Stanford has grown stricter with alcohol consequences and punishments; however, for the most part, the school is pretty laid-back when it comes to these matters. The RAs and residential fellows (Stanford faculty and staff that live next to the dormitories) are aware of alcohol usage in the dorms. As long as you don't drink in common areas inside the dorms and keep your room door closed when drinking, you will be fine. The Stanford Police generally do not stop you on the street if you have cups in your hand. However, do not get caught drunk on your bike; the Stanford Police are known to give tickets if students seem intoxicated while biking.
Stanford holds its honor code to the highest standard. If you are accused of breaking the honor code in any way, you will meet with the Office of Judicial Affairs to decide whether you are guilty, as well as what the consequences will be if you are. In general, Stanford is very laid-back about rules and regulations, except for the honor code. Breaking the honor code is very serious and can lead to leaving the University.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I ordered several samples, and this one was by far my favorite. The texture of the paper was elegant and sturdy. The design fits my personal taste and perfectly matched my wedding theme and colors."
"I ordered a sample of this and knew it were perfect for our simple beach wedding. We changed the bay color to calypso, and we kept the red. They turned out great! Very whimsical!"
"I ordered the bright red invite and adjusted the text colors to better match my wedding colors. We went with the shimmer paper. These invites are so beautiful, and I have received several compliments on them. I love that the art continues onto the back of the invite. I originally had picked a design from another company but wasn't happy with my paper choices. I ended up with a more beautiful design and much better paper with Wedding Paper Divas, all for only about $10 more. The ordering, proof, and delivery process all went very smoothly. Very happy customer!"
"This invite was the perfect one for our wedding. It's classy, but not overly formal or girly. The paper is sturdy and the print is a beautiful shade of black. I was worried it would be a little faded just because of the paper but it's not! Wedding Paper Divas was such an easy company to work with. I got my proof within 2 days, even over a holiday, and it was EXACTLY what I had asked for! I would definitely recommend this one!"
"I ordered these invitations last minute due to the fact that my original printer was slow and not responding to emails and failing to complete my order. Wedding Paper Divas made these and got them to me within 4-5 days. The paper quality was great and I'm so glad I upgraded to the shimmer paper. I've gotten so many compliments on on our invitation paper and design. I tweaked a few things with the wording & design on all three cards- the design person made the proofs and emailed them to me quickly for approval. This was a seamless experience! Thank you again!!"

Hoops boosted by recovering duo
Defender Mikael Lustig and midfielder Paddy McCourt have recovered from hamstring injuries ahead of Celtic's Scottish Cup fourth-round replay against Arbroath at Gayfield Park.
Striker Gary Hooper has recovered from a virus, but midfielder Kris Commons will be out for another seven to 10 days with a thigh injury.
Winger James Forrest will resume training on Monday as he continues his recovery from a hamstring complaint.
Manager Neil Lennon insisted the clash was high on his list of priorities.
``We are taking this game very seriously,'' he said.
``It is a different competition but one where we have had no recent success and we would like to progress so it is another important game.
``The way things have been going in the last week to 10 days, you want to keep that feel-good factor going and this is potentially very dangerous.
``I have been on the end of a few cup upsets as a player and a manager and I don't want that to happen tomorrow.''
Lennon also revealed he was encouraged by Monday's meeting with the Scottish Football Association's compliance officer, Vincent Lunny.
A delegation of Scottish Premier League managers, including Steve Lomas, Kenny Shiels and Jim Jefferies, met with Lunny at Hampden following a recent plea by Lennon for better communication between bosses, referees and the SFA and clearer guidelines on acceptable behaviour.
Lennon has not been in trouble this season but fellow Irishmen Lomas and Shiels have found themselves in hot water recently. St Johnstone manager Lomas, currently subject of an eight-match touchline ban, faces further sanctions after being called before an SFA disciplinary hearing later this month for kicking a water bottle during his team's 1-0 defeat against Hibernian on 28 November.
Kilmarnock manager Shiels has been served with two separate notices of complaint from the Scottish FA.
The Rugby Park boss has to explain critical remarks made about referee Euan Norris after his side's defeat to Inverness on 3 November, and he faces further scrutiny after protesting against the red card shown to his captain Manuel Pascali during a home defeat to St Johnstone last month.
Lunny will meet with all the SPL bosses in the new year but Lennon believes progress has already been made in a bid to eradicate some of the tension between managers and the authorities.
``It was very productive,'' he said.
``It wasn't a question of any heated arguments, it was just points being put across from both sides and John Fleming (SFA's head of referee development) came in for the last hour or so.
``Alex Smith, head of the managers' association, was there and we are hoping to draw up a few proposals to take to Vincent and see where that takes us.
``One rule was brought up, (what can be said in post-match press conferences) we feel that there is a vague sort of grey areas in the rules and sanctions on managers as well.
``I don't want to go into in-depth because there was a lot of things said that will remain private but it was very productive.''
Arbroath player-manager Paul Sheerin has a fully-fit and suspension-free squad to choose from.
Sheerin's side earned a 1-1 draw at Parkhead with a late Steven Dorsi goal and he is now hoping his men can go one better despite being huge underdogs.
He said: ``Celtic are huge favourites to win but we will be going out there looking for a win.
``There has to be a lot of things to happen in our favour to allow that to happen. Our entire team all need to be bang-on with their form and hope a few of the Celtic players do not play well.''
