Residential Life
The University Housing and Food Service staff is comprised of experienced individuals with abilities and interests in promoting an educational environment within student housing. The Residence Community Coordinators (RCC) and Assistant Residence Community Coordinators (ARCC) are professionals who live in your community and are responsible for the programs and the quality of life.
They are aided by a staff of para-professionals who are full–time students. Resident Advisors (RAs) are live–in University Housing staff members who make themselves available to residents for information, assistance, understanding, friendship, and enforcement of university policies. Your RAs have undergone an intensive training program designed to maximize their knowledge of University Housing philosophy and programs as well as other campus resources.
Training is also aimed at helping your RAs to better understand how people interact. With this skill and knowledge, your RAs will be able to help you with academic needs or to listen and care when you need someone to talk with. Now that you know what RAs do, please get to know them, starting with your own community staff.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin visited Collinsville High School this week to share the news that concussions are bad. Not only that, we need federal legislation to regulate how schools handle concussions.
We think Durbin might have a tough time finding anyone in favor of concussions, which leads to our point: Can't he find anything more pressing on which he could spend his time?
The economy and jobs? The deficit? Immigration? Energy? Gun control? Health care?
Need we point out that he's the majority whip in the U.S. Senate? He's a top leader of our country. And he thinks the pressing issue of the day is to make a federal case out of concussions?
Durbin even said Illinois and Missouri are doing a good job handling student athletes and concussions, but there are some states that aren't. For them we need a nationwide call to action, another unfunded mandate on our schools and the threat of lost federal funding. We just wonder what brilliant legislative fix Durbin plans when he realizes some competitive kids will not admit they got knocked in the head so they aren't forced to sit out the rest of the game.
What really give us headaches is when government tries to fix every societal ill with a law. Politicians think you can fix stupid with the right bill, which is not only stupid in its own right but collectively these bills become a form of political ADHD.
Durbin needs to focus. You don't wash the windows while your house is burning -- unless you are a politician in need of a photo op.

Just an update incase anyone else runs into this issue. I had to first install Sun Studio and CBE. Then I had to update my bash path to include /usr/xpg4/bin/ so that the posix compliant grep would be picked up first. I then had to update the configure script changing #! /bin/sh to #! /bin/ksh This now allows me to run configure without any issues. Cheers, Brooks L.

Democrat Bob Casey has won a second six-year term in the U.S. Senate by defeating Republican challenger Tom Smith in Tuesday's election.
A crowd of Casey supporters erupted in cheers at the Scranton Hilton as the victory was announced. Casey later addressed the crowd in the ballroom named after his father, the late former Gov. Robert P. Casey.
Casey took the stage with his wife and four daughters and thanked the voters of Pennsylvania for their support. He also stressed the importance of moving forward and working to bring together Democrats and Republicans on the issues facing America.
"There is a lot of work to be done, and that work starts tonight," he said.
Casey also talked about strengthening the middle class and creating jobs. He also thanked Smith, saying he appreciated the kind words exchanged during a phone call following the vote results.
Smith, an Allegheny businessman and a newcomer to statewide politics, had invested more than $17 million of his own money to outspend Casey and gain name recognition during the final months of the race.
"While Senator Casey and I disagree on a lot of things, we both share a love for this county and for this state," Smith told supporters in his concession speech, "and we both believe America's best days are ahead of her."
Casey, of Scranton, is a former state treasurer and auditor general. He beat Republican Rick Santorum in 2006 and was an early supporter of President Barack Obama.
He voted for Obama's health care law and economic stimulus bill. Smith and linked Casey to what he called President Obama's failed economic policies and promised to repeal the health care law.
Rayburn Smith, a former postal carrier from Clarion County, ran as a Libertarian candidate.

In recognition of this week being National Influenza Vaccination Week (Dec. 2-8), the MSDH is reminding Mississippians that the flu vaccine is the best protection against influenza.
In a news release issued Monday MSDH State Epidemiologist Dr. Thomas Dobbs said: "We are seeing widespread influenza activity throughout the state. Seasonal flu usually peaks from January to March in Mississippi, but infections can be seen before and after peak season. Mississippians should take the threat of flu very seriously and get vaccinated now."
Seasonal flu vaccinations are available at all county health departments.
This year, flu shots are recommended for everyone six months of age and older, especially those at risk from influenza complications: young children, adults 50 and older, pregnant women, and those with chronic illnesses.
• Prices: Flu shots for children six months through 18 years are $10. Adult flu shots are just $25. Specialized flu shots, designed to boost immunity for those 65 and over, are available for $50, covered by Medicare part B.
• Protective hygiene: Remember to cover your cough, wash hands often and thoroughly, and stay home if you're sick to protect yourself and others.
• Pneumonia: Pneumonia is the deadliest complication from flu. More than 600 Mississippians a year die from flu and pneumonia. The pneumonia vaccine can reduce the severity of pneumonia and the chance of hospitalization or death. If you have not had a recent pneumonia vaccination, check with your doctor or county health department to get one.

Jon Stewart Nails Dems on Cap and Trade
The Democrats have been taking a lot of shit lately. Some say, despite having the White House and large majorities in both houses of Congress, the party has done little more this year than drop the ball on health care reform. But that's not fair. They're dropping the ball on so many other things too. Take the environment. Please!

Carly Fiorina's Patented Campaign Skills, Now Online!!!
Exiled Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina proved her political mettle last year when she served as a "top economic advisor" to John McCain, a job that's kind of like being a pastry chef for a diabetic, admittedly. But Fiorina made some news herself on the campaign trail: there was the time she said Sarah Palin wasn't qualified to run a company, and then the time she accidentally made John McCain take a question about flaccid penises.
These incidents were widely seen as gaffes, or "Bidens," but I'm starting to wonder if Carly Fiorina doesn't have some sort of secret blueprint for politics that only she can understand. For example, see the screenshot above? That is Carly Fiorina's new website, because — having done so well helping John McCain win the White House — our gal C.Fi is possibly maybe challenging Democrat Barbara Boxer for her California Senate seat.
Oh, it gets better…
"It's Day and Night," the bright red Web site reads. "It's Dogs and Cats. It's Good and Bad. It's Carly vs. Boxer."
"It's the most singularly awful political website I have ever seen, and I am including all the old, basic HTML websites that were the rage 10 years ago," conservative blogger John Hawkins of the site RightWingNews.com said in an e-mail to CNN.
Well yes, of course it's awful. Don't you see? As a businessperson, Carly Fiorina understands the importance of branding.
And this is the perfect representation of her brand: being incredibly bad at everythingTM.

Jon Stewart on the Sotomayor Confirmation
Yesterday, the Senate voted 68 to 31 in favor of confirming Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. This of course makes her the first Latina on the bench, if you don't count Oliver Wendell Holmes. While many conservatives are none too pleased with the appointment, I understand Antonin Scalia is quite optimistic, hoping Sotomayor ushers in an era of churros at the Thursday SCOTUS potlucks.

Barbara Boxer Isn't Fooled by Fake Protesters in Fancy Suits
Stephen Colbert isn't the only political heavyweight who's been monitoring the waves of grassroots-ish opposition to health care reform that are sweeping-ish the country.
California Senator Barbara Boxer, seen here in a stunning periwinkle suit accessorized with a contrasting chunky multi-strand necklace and black peep-toe raffia wedges, has also been paying attention, and she's noticed a verrrrry suspicious detail about some of the people at these confrontational town hall meetings. (Aside from the shrieking about Nazis thing.)
As she explained on MSNBC's Hardball last night, something's sartorially amiss…
BOXER: [...] And by the way, I saw some of the clips of people storming these town hall meetings. The last time I saw well-dressed people doing this, was when Al Gore asked me to go down to Florida when they were recounting the ballots, and I was confronted with the same type of people.
They were there screaming and yelling, "Go back to California! Get out of here!" and all the rest of it, until I finally looked at them and I said, "You know what? Your hero Ronald Reagan is from California, you should show a little respect." And then they quieted down.
Barbara Boxer raises an important and on-trend point! Face it, America, real patriots don't have time for frivolous extras like "pants" and "shirts," let alone "ties" or "underwear."
If you're really committed to stopping the terrible threat of ObamaKillGrannyCare, you will get out there and do it the way God (Ronald Reagan) intended you to do it, that is, stark naked except for a loincloth emblazoned with Sean Hannity's face.

The Following 5 Democrats and 8 Republicans Called Sarah Palin a Pig and Hate Women in General
It's bad enough that Barack Obama thinks Sarah Palin is a pig and seeks to "destroy her" and American women in general. But it gets worse: Research shows he was beaten to the punch by 13 of his Congressional colleagues!
Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill, did a little digging into the Congressional Record and found 16 variations of the "lipstick on a pig" phrase have been uttered by 13 separate members of the 110th Congress. Behold the list of chauvinist, unpatriotic community organizers currently disgracing our government…
* Rep. Mike Michaud (D-Maine) on the Peru free-trade agreement: "Same old model with a little lipstick."
* Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.) on trade policy: "You know the old saying about lipstick on a pig? Well, I smell bacon."
* Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) on withdrawal in Iraq: "Calling this surrender a 'withdrawal' or a 'redeployment' is like putting lipstick on a pig. No matter what you call it, it is still a pig."
* Rep. Lynn "Uppity" Westmoreland (R-Ga.) on energy policy: "The energy bills that were brought out this week was kind of like putting lipstick on a pig."
* Westmoreland, again on energy policy: "It's almost like putting lipstick on a pig. You can make it look good, but it's only going to be a pig."
* Westmoreland, yet again on energy policy: "So while we are passing these bills … it's been putting lipstick on a pig."
* Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) on an omnibus spending bill: "There has been lipstick placed on this pig, but it's still a pig."
* Rep. David Dreier (R-Calif.) on an ethics proposal: "They may have put lipstick on that pig, but it is still a pig."
* Rep. Solomon Ortiz (D-Texas) on the president's veto of a children's health bill: "There's just no lipstick to pretty up this pig."
* Ortiz on language in a border-wall bill: "That puts a little lipstick on the pig."
* Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) on Republican moves on carbon emissions: "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig."
* Rep. Sam Johnson (R-Texas) on a children's health bill alternative: "We have a saying in Texas, if you put lipstick on a pig, it will still be a pig."
* Rep. Howard McKeon (R-Calif.) on equal-pay legislation: "This amendment is the equivalent of putting lipstick on a pig."
* Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on wiretapping legislation: "It's very difficult to put lipstick on a pig."
* Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) on Medicare legislation: "… trying to put lipstick on this legislative pig."
* Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) on a college- cost bill: "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig."
Doesn't Obama have any ideas of his own? Is he so desperate for fresh sexist comments that he resorts to stealing them from Republican women like Virginia Foxx?
At the very least, he could have broadened the statement to include other members of the animal kingdom, like former UN Ambassador John Bolton, who stated…
"We want a butterfly. We're not going to put lipstick on a caterpillar and declare it a success."
Now that is an example of a non-sexist statement, and for two obvious reasons. One, here we're applying lipstick to a caterpillar instead of a pig. Two, Bolton is a Republican.

Peter Suderman on the Doc Fix Economy
If you want to understand the fiscal cliff—and what it's likely to mean for the fedral budget going forward—it helps if you understand the doc fix. The doc fix is just one relatively small part of the fiscal cliff. But in many ways, writes Senior Editor Peter Suderman, it is the fiscal cliff in miniature. That's because the doc fix is perhaps the ultimate example of a poorly conceived temporary budgeting measure that's not really temporary at all. And its history suggests what's in store for the federal budget—and the economy—in our post-fiscal-cliff future.

Within a five-second span, Metta World Peace threw everything away.
His vicious elbow didn't just damage Oklahoma City forward James Harden. It damaged World Peace's reputation. His ensuing ejection didn't just hang the Lakers out to dry as they somehow managed to escape with a 114-106 double-overtime victory Sunday over the Oklahoma City Thunder. It left them wondering if they can win without him, since World Peace probably will draw a lengthy suspension. And his apology afterward that it was an "unintentional elbow" isn't just laughable because the Lakers' public relations staff refused to allow him to take follow-up questions. It's head-scratching because the replays show World Peace's blow was hardly an accident.

WI goes nutty over Queen's Jubilee
7:10am Monday 25th February 2013 in News
WOMEN'S Institute members in Witney have planted trees to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
West Witney WI, along with the woodland managers Witney Woodland Volunteers, planted two Walnut saplings in Deer Park Wood.
The saplings were donated by a member of the WI.
West Witney WI president Sandra Fenton said: "We wanted to plant a tree because the Queen has been on the throne for so long.
"We planted a tree when it was the millennium and we thought it would be a nice gesture to do the same for the jubilee."
When the institute was formed in 1933 its meetings were held in Deer Park and it now meets in the Methodist church in High Street.

For The Lotus Evora offers a heady mix of stunning performance, wonderful control and superb comfort.
Against The rear seats are next to useless for anything but stowage, and the dashboard is a disappointment.
What Car? says
A sensational supercar in every sense – the Lotus Evora thrilling to drive, easy to live with and comparatively cheap to run.
What Car? readers say
Buying a car? Need Help?Get in touch
There are 6 Lotus Evora versions available
Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
As well as being treated to an exciting life, Lotus Evora buyers will also be treated to an easy one. Why? Well, there are only two decisions to make.
You see, all Evoras get the same 3.5-litre V6 engine that hurls you towards the horizon with one tiny squeeze of the throttle, so it's simply a matter of whether you want the standard 276bhp engine or the supercharged 346bhp unit. Then you have to select whether you want two seats or a two-plus-two.
There's just one trim level, too, so you'll be getting air-conditioning, Recaro leather seats and a CD player.
Having said that, there are some options and packs you can add (if you're prepared to pay extra) to make you car sportier or more luxurious. The Sport Upgrade Pack provides a switchable sports mode that sharpens throttle responses, increases your rev limit and activates a special setting for the traction control, while the Tech Upgrade Pack gives you sat-nav, Bluetooth, parking sensors and cruise control.

Honda Accord (1998-2002) Maintenance and Repair
Here's the story: I was getting a routine oil change. After looking at the car, guy said I needed a new upper ball joint/control arm. I got that replaced. After leaving the lot, I started hearing a noise whenever the car came to a stop. It sounded like something powering down (higher pitch to lower pitch), then the noise stops when the car is stopped.
I took the car in and they said they couldn't find the problem, and said that it might be a transmission problem. That didn't make sense to me. They couldn't find anything with a diagnostic. What is going on? Anyone have any idea what could be making this noise right after the upper ball joint/control arm is replaced in a 2002 Honda Accord 6 cylinder?
the_feesher Posts: 1Could be anything in the suspension, I'm guessing that either you need to get the suspension regreased, but mainly when you hear the car winding down, it's your wheel bearings going out. Which could be possible because with a worn ball joint it'll put more force on the lower CA which in turn wears your wheel bearings more. It may have been worn for a while but now that everything is sitting how it should the noise showed up
Mitchflorida, thank you for the response. It wasn't a Honda dealership, but it was a place where every time you go something is 'going to fall off and you are going to die on the highway tomorrow!' type of place. So, yes, I think I will get a second opinion.
the feesher, maybe I'll get my wheel bearings and suspension checked out. I hope it is just there because everything is finally sitting right. That's what it seems like since I got the noise immediately after it was fixed. I will definitely need a second opinion. Thank you!
I have been experiencing the same problem with my '01 accord (automatic). I have 208k miles on it and after about 2000 miles into an oil change I noticed I was a quart low. I hadn't noticed any leaks or that I was burning oil up to that point, I took it back to the Jiffy Lube where I had it serviced in the first place (I work in the building next door so I know them all fairly well) and they said I had a very small gasket leak and that I was likely burning oil because of the age of the vehicle. He suggested to just let it run because it wouldn't be worth paying to get the gasket fixed yet.
I went into Auto zone to check out my options to help it last longer and they suggested to switch to a high-mileage synthetic (something I'm already using, Pennzoil 5w-20 according to the ) and to try plugging the leak with an engine oil stop-leak (Lucas-Oil brand). My worry is after talking to a friend of mine who is a mechanic is that stop-leaks will sometimes plug holes that need to be open. Is there any chance of that happening with my engine or should I not worry about it?
Stop leak and switching to synthetic are two pieces of not-so-good advice.
Best thing to do is:
1. Get the car on a lift and determine exactly what is leaking and how much.
2. If #1 is insignificant, then just keep an eye on it, and keep adding oil every 2000 miles. That level of oil consumption for a 200K engine is quite acceptable.
My '01 Accord Ex, 4cyl, with Manual Trans uses an excessive amount of oil if I allow High RPM's.
Compression Test shows 180 across all 4 cyl. Mileage is 155,000
The Engine uses NO OIL when I keep it below 3000 RPM.
If I go to RED LINE getting on the freeway I can use a quart per 500 miles.
The engine is fine, no issues. I plan on continuing to drive as I wish and just add the oil.
The Spark Plugs are getting used up about every 25,000 as a result of excess oil use.
Could this be a Valve Sleeve issue?
don't let high compression fool you. An engine can show excellent compression on a gauge and still have worn oil rings because it is the top compression ring that gives you the reading, not the lower oil rings.
You could have worn valve guides or valve stem seals, yes--an easy test for that is to take along a passenger and have them looking at the rear of the car while you rev it up on a freeway ramp, and then, making sure NO ONE IS BEHIND YOU, let off the gas, in gear, so that the car 'brakes" by compression alone (don't touch the brakes), and then...once the car has slowed down, PUNCH the gas again---if you have worn valve guides or seals, you will see a substantial puff of blue smoke out the back of the car, because you have created a high vacuum situation when you let off the gas. The high engine vacuum would suck oil through the worn valve guides into the combustion chamber.
Thank you for the tip. I tried what you suggested by punching it in 2nd gear to 5000 rpm and then let off to 2500 rpm to allow comprsession to brake the car, then re-accelerated to 4500 rpm and saw NO Smoke or even visible exhaust.
On first start in am there is no exhaust visible only a small amount of water out the tailpipe which clears up shortly.
ronald58 Posts: 1My 1999 Accord has the Check Engine Light with code P401, EGR flow insufficient.
I replaced the valve. Light came back.. I opened the valve with direct voltage and engine idle was a little rough. MAP went up from 28 to 35 %. I removed the valve and started engine. I have vacuum at the inlet port and exhaust blowing from the exhaust port.
Does anyone know how the computer detects low EGR flow ?
and how do I clean the EGR ports if that is what is needed ?
kobiewan Posts: 1I know this blog is old. However, I have an I4 99 Honda Accord and recently had a p1456 code. Problem is that there is an extra vacuum port on this plastic "Y" shaped vacuum that has nowhere to go but inside the 2 way valve cover. What does this extra port go into? Or is it capped off?
tcain1966 Posts: 298 Accord is cutting out intermittently when warmed up. EGR new & ports clean in intake, no vacuum leaks found, happens at low end runs great above 2500 RPM's never dies just drops off to just below normal idle range then back to wherever it was. 2000 RPM down to 400 or so then right back to 2000. Just replaced the Main Relay and no change. It does this about half the time when the car gets to operating temps. Injection system just cleaned.
Also, I cant hear the fuel pump run when I turn the switch but would it run at all if the fuel pump wasn't working??

Twin Cities Live Music
The Minnetonka Choral Society, founded in 1969, is dedicated to enriching the lives of our members and the community through great choral music performance. We love to sing! And we love nothing more than singing to a full audience.
Our Music Director Jere Lantz selects our music especially for us. The music ranges from old masters such as Gabrieli, Mozart and Haydn Masses and Brahms' Ein Deutches Requiem to more contemporary compositions such as Vaughan Williams' Hodie and Copland's In The Beginning, to works by modern composers or arrangers such as John Rutter, Dominick Argento, Stephen Paulus and Jeffrey Van.
The Minnetonka Choral Society, MCS, is a volunteer concert choir that performs two concerts per year. Our choir is 80 members strong. When we sing, it can be joyously loud accompanied by a full orchestra, or deliciously soft with harp or a cappella. If you enjoy live music, and live in the Twin Cities area, we would welcome your presence at one of our Twin Cities live choir concerts.
Ticket to Broadway
We salute America's greatest gift to the art of theater—the Broadway musical. From Showboat in the 20's to today's hits like Les Misérables, we sing the songs that have made theatrical history. Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music, Lerner and Loewe's My Fair Lady, Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story: these were unforgettable evenings when first heard and hold their power, beauty, and charm today. Some enchanted evening, indeed!
2013-14 Auditions:
Auditions are being scheduled for the evenings of Tuesday, July 30, September 17 and September 24.

"Kato" Means the Younger of Twins
Jim Burroway
January 27th, 2011
That's one thing I learned in a facebook message this morning, and it forms a part of GayUganda's reaction today to the news that Ugandan LGBT activist David Kato was brutally murdered in his home yesterday. He writes:
We need to celebrate his life. Maybe that will take our minds off the desperate vulnerability of ours…. how quickly, how easily we can lose all, in the name of nothing, or something.But, it is a matter of fact that he lived his life. And, was happy. A gay man in Uganda.
…Maybe for the days when he was still alive to pester us with his demands, his beliefs in what he wanted to have done. He was a doer, and, in a difficult environment, he was an achiever. With scanty resources, he did what he could, and did it fairly well.
Of course he was a human being. Cantankerous, devious, quarrelsome.
But, he was a human being, a fighter, going to the police cells to look for those accused of being gay. Going to court to stand up for our rights.
Kato David Kisule. RIP. Wonder where his twin is.
The worldwide LGBT community is reeling over the loss of a fearless leader.
David Kato was a spokesperson as well as the Advocacy and Litigation Officer for Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG). He was one of the plaintiffs (or applicants) in the successful lawsuit seeking a permanent injunction against the Ugandan tabloid Rolling Stone (no relation to the U.S. publication of the same name). Kato was one of three applicants who had been named by the tabloid under a headline tagged "Hang Them!" His photo appeared on the tabloid's front cover.
Uganda's independent Daily Monitor reports that David was attacked in his home yesterday afternoon and beaten in the head with a hammer. Residents told police that they saw a man entering David's house, and then they saw him leave dressed in David's shoes and a jacket that covered part of his face. Later, the neighbors became suspicious and went to check on David but found the door locked. After they forced their way in, they found him and rushed him to Mulago Hospital, but he died on the way.
It is not known right now whether his appearance in the tabloid or subsequent court action was related to his murder. The police spokesperson says police are investigating robbery as a motive, saying that items were missing in the home.The BBC reports that there had been several "iron bar" murders in the neighborhood, and that police have arrested several suspects.
But LGBT advocates who worked with him disagree. They note that he, along with several other LGBT Ugandans, had been the target of several death threats in the past few days, particularly in the aftermath of their court victory.
In a press release from Sexual Minorities Uganda, they "call on religious leaders, political leaders and media houses to stop demonizing sexual minorities in Uganda since doing so creates a climate of violence against gay persons. Val Kalende, the Chair of the Board at Freedom and Roam Uganda stated that "David's death is a result of the hatred planted in Uganda by U.S Evangelicals in 2009. The Ugandan Government and the so-called U.S Evangelicals must take responsibility for David's blood!"
LGBT Activists in Uganda point to a virulently anti-gay March 2009 conference put on by three American Evangelical activists for inciting the latest round of violence and intimidation against the local LGBT community. Among the three were Holocaust revisionist Scott Lively, Exodus International board member Don Schmierer, and International Healing Foundation's Caleb Lee Brundidge, who is a protege of ex-gay advocate Richard Cohen. Lively, who blamed gay men for the rise of Nazism and the Rwandan genocide, proudly declared his talk as being a "nuclear bomb" against LGBT advocacy in Africa. (You can read about all of the events of 2009 and early 2010 here.)
Later that same year, M.P. David Bahati introduced the draconian Anti-Homosexuality Bill in that nation's Parliament. That bill, which remains under review Parliamentary committee, would impose the death penalty on LGBT Ugandans under certain circumstances and criminalize all advocacy by or on behalf of LGBT people. It would also criminalize even knowing someone who is gay if that person fails to report their LGBT loved one to police within 24 hours. Parliamentary elections are scheduled for February 18, and the bill is expected to be voted on after Parliament returns for a lame-duck session before the new Parliament begins in May. Bahati has admitted that it is his goal "to kill every last gay person."

Ugandan LGBT Advocate Murdered; Had Been Named By "Hang Them" Tabloid
Jim Burroway
January 26th, 2011
We have learned that Ugandan LGBT advocate David Kato Kisulle was murdered today at his home in Kampala. Frank Mugisha of Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) has confirmed that the David's body was identified at a hospital.
Update: I have also confirmed this with SMUG's Pepe Julian Onziema, who identified David's body in the hospital morgue. Police are investigating.
The details surrounding his murder are unknown at this time. He was reportedly beaten in the skull with a hammer at his home. We do not yet know whether it was a single assailant or a group of people, nor do we know any other circumstances surrounding his death.
Update: More details from Human Rights Watch:
Witnesses told police that a man entered Kato's home in Mukono at around 1 p.m. on January 26, 2011, hit him twice in the head and departed in a vehicle. Kato died on his way to Kawolo hospital. Police told Kato's lawyer that they had the registration number of the vehicle and were looking for it.
David Kato was a spokesperson for Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) and one of the plaintiffs (or applicants) in the successful lawsuit seeking a permanent injunction against the Ugandan tabloid Rolling Stone (no relation to the U.S. publication of the same name). Kato was one of three applicants who had been named by the tabloid under a headline tagged "Hang Them!" His photo appeared on the tabloid's front cover.
LGBT Ugandans have lived under a menacing atmosphere for more than a decade. The anti-gay hysteria has increased significantly since the introduction of the draconian Anti-Homosexuality Bill into parliament in 2009. That bill, which remains under review Parliamentary committee, would impose the death penalty on LGBT Ugandans under certain circumstances and criminalize all advocacy by or on behalf of LGBT people. It would also criminalize even knowing someone who is gay if that person fails to report their LGBT loved one to police within 24 hours. Parliamentary elections are scheduled for February 18, and the bill is expected to be considered after Parliament returns for a lame-duck session before the new Parliament begins in May.
This horrendous murder adds to the fears that LGBT Ugandans regularly face over their safety. Brenda Namigadde, a lesbian asylum seeker in the U.K. has been threatened with deportation back to Uganda. Just yesterday, she received an ominous message from M.P. David Bahati, the author of the infamous Anti-Homosexuality Bill, in which he said that Brenda must "repent or reform" when she returns home:
Brenda is welcome in Uganda if she will abandon or repent her behaviour. Here in Uganda, homosexuality is not a human right. It is behaviour that is learned and it can be unlearned. We wouldn't want Brenda to be painting a wrong picture of Uganda, that we are harassing homosexuals.
M.P. Bahati may be technically correct. They are simply killing homosexuals, not harassing them.
David has served as the Advocacy and Litigation Officer for SMUG since 2004, according to his facebook profile. He also attended the University of York where he studied Human Rights.
Update: Mourners are posting messages on David's facebook wall.
Uganda's High Court Ruling Against "Hang Them" Tabloid Campaign
Jim Burroway
January 3rd, 2011
As we reported earlier this morning, Uganda's high court released a ruling permanently prohibiting the tabloid Rolling Stone (no relation to the venerable U.S. publication by the same name) from continuing its public vigilante campaign against that country's LGBT community. We now have the text of that ruling (PDF: 1.3 MB/10 pages), which was signed on December 30 by Judge Musoke Kibuuka.
Judge Kibuuka found that the actions of Rolling Stone violated the privacy rights of LGBT Ugandans, and as well as the right to human dignity and protection from inhuman treatment. Of the latter, Judge Kibukka wrote:
Upon that objective test, court would easily conclude that by publishing the identities of the applicants and exposing their homes coupled with the explicit call to hang them because "they are after our kids", the respondents extracted the applicants from the other members of the community who are regarded as worthy, in equal measure, of human dignity and who ought to be treated as worthy of dignity and respect. Clearly the call to hang gays in dozens tends to tremendously threaten their right to human dignity. Death is the ultimate end of all that is known worldly to be good. If a person is only worthy of death, and arbitrarily, then that person's human dignity is placed at the lowest ebb. It is threatened to be abused or infringed.
For the objective test, the court cited a Canadian case from 2002, when a man published an advertisement showing four scriptural passages next to an image of two stick men holding hands inside a circle with a line through it. The CBC notes that the decision was overturned by the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal in 2006. It's unclear whether the grounds for that 2006 decision would have any bearing on the Ugandan case.
The court rejected Rolling Stones argument that because homosexuality is illegal in Uganda, the applicants were not eligible for protection because they were criminals:
It must be noted that this application is not about homosexuality per se. it is about fundamental rights and freedoms. However, court not agrees that section 145, of the Penal Code Act renders every person who is gay a criminal under that section of the Penal Code Act. The scope of section 145 is narrower than gayism generally. One has to commit an act prohibited under section 145 in order to be regarded a criminal.
This point may serve as fodder for those who support the passage of the proposed Anti-Homosexuality Bill. That bill greatly expands the definition of what constitutes homosexual behavior far beyond the sex act. It will also criminalize advocacy on behalf of LGBT people and make criminals of family members who refuse to report their loved ones to police. If that bill were to become law, merely bringing this case to court and arguing in defense of LGBT people could be taken as "promotion" of homosexuality, leading to fines and a sentence of between five to seven years. The bill may be brought to a vote during a lame-duck session of Parliament following the February 18 elections.
The court issued a permanent injunction against Rolling Stone, "their servants and agents, from any further publications of the identities of the persons and homes of the applicants and homosexuals generally." The order only applies to Rolling Stone, but human rights advocates believe that it may serve as a precedent for other tabloids to follow. Red Pepper and Onion (also no relation to the U.S. satirical newspaper by the same name) have also engaged in vigilante campaigns in recent months.
The judge awarded each applicant 1,500,000 Uganda Shillings (US$650) for damages, plus court costs.
Giles Muhume, Rolling Stone editor, remained defiant in the face of the court ruling. In a press release, he said that "homos had a short-lived smile today" but that Rolling Stone would appeal the decision. Calling the ruling a risk to media freedom, Muhume added, "The newspaper will fight homos on different fronts. Our supporters should remain strong –- the agents of the devil shall be defeated."

Human Rights Watch, Sexual Minorities Uganda Condemn Anti-Homosexuality Bill
Jim Burroway
October 15th, 2009
Human Rights Watch join sixteen other local and international human rights organizations in condemning the Anti-Homosexuality Act which has been introduced in Uganda's Parliament. According to the HRW statement:
"This draft bill is clearly an attempt to divide and weaken civil society by striking at one of its most marginalized groups" said Scott Long, director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Rights Program at Human Rights Watch. "The government may be starting here, but who will be next?"
The bill would criminalize the legitimate work of national and international activists and organizations working for the defense and promotion of human rights in Uganda. It would also put major barriers in the path of effective HIV/AIDS prevention efforts, the groups said.
"Discrimination and punitive laws like this aimed at marginalized groups and at those often among the most affected by HIV drives people underground and does nothing to help slow down the AIDS epidemic," said Daniel Molokele, Africa program officer at the World AIDS Campaign.
Under Uganda's existing laws, the police arbitrarily arrest and detain men and women accused of engaging in consensual sex with someone of the same sex. Human rights organizations have documented cases of torture or other ill-treatment against lesbians and gay men in detention because of their sexual orientation.
Sexual Minorities Uganda has also circulated a statement condemning the bill. Their statement, which is not yet available on their web site, is reproduced in full below. It contains disturbing news of LGBT Ugandans who had died as a result of the latest anti-homosexuality campaigns sparked by a three-day anti-gay conference last March.

FRANKFORT — Republican Sen. Julie Denton, the chairwoman of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, Wednesday introduced bills requiring legislative approval before the governor can proceed with implementation of the Affordable Care Act or "Obamacare."
But even if it passes the Republican Senate, it's unlikely to go anywhere in the Democratic-controlled House.
The law was vigorously opposed by Congressional Republicans but after a Supreme Court ruling last summer that the law is constitutional and the re-election last fall of Barack Obama and a Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate, opposition has shifted to the states, especially those with Republican governors or legislatures.
One of Denton's bills would require legislative approval before the governor could establish a health benefit exchange, an online site for people to shop for the most affordable health care plans, often with a federal government subsidy. If a state does not establish an exchange, then the federal government will do it for that state.
Denton's other bill would require lawmakers' approval before the governor could implement another provision of the ACA, to expand Medicaid rolls to cover those who still couldn't afford health insurance, even with the subsidies.
While the Supreme Court ruled the overall law is constitutional, it ruled states cannot be compelled to expand Medicaid.
Gov. Steve Beshear has already begun establishing the health care exchange by executive order.
He said Wednesday that all "stakeholders in Kentucky – the insurance companies, the hospitals, the chambers of commerce – everybody prefers we have a Kentucky exchange run by Kentuckians as opposed to letting Washington, D.C., come in and run the exchange."
Denton said, however, that the actual and long- term costs for the exchange, and especially for expanding Medicaid, are unknown and "one person should not be making this decision for the people of Kentucky."

After a fun filled visit to the Philly area I have to admit I had my Tony Luke's cheesesteak at the ballgame on Ashburn Alley in centerfield at Citizens Bank Park. Maybe it was the atmosphere too (and the Chicky & Pete's fries!) but it was delicious!!!!!! Best roll of the 4 places we stopped at for cheesesteaks during our visit.

I agree with Jetsfan...the roast pork with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe is to die for! If you're in South Jersey, they opened a second store in Sickerville/Gloucester Twp. PS I hear they are adding burgers to the menu :)

I agree with DJ Slash! Hands down the best cheese steak in the country. I have been to many in the philly area alone and nobody beats Tony Lukes. Last visit I had the roast pork with broccoli rabe and I got dizzy from deliciousness. I will drive 2 hours in traffic both ways to have any Tony Lukes sandwich. The meat, the bread the cheese, and the parking lot! Pats and Genos blow from a food standpoint but try to find a spot and then worry if your car will be there when you get back. Dont waste your time with any other Philadelphia steak shops!!! GO TO TONY LUKES GO THERE NOW!!!

Turnaround stars Keith A. Alessi, MBA '79, and David A. Brandon say adding and capturing value for owners and shareholders are key.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. CEOs Keith E. Alessi, MBA '79, and David A. Brandon, superstars in the lucrative turnaround management field, specialize in cleaning up after entrepreneurs, the two told more than 380 students and businesspeopleincluding many would-be entrepreneursat the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan.
Entrepreneurs often underestimate the growth potential of the companies they found, thus creating rich opportunities for savvy business managers who can make large sums of money by adding value to the firms, Brandon and Alessi said in keynote addresses at Entrepalooza 2004: Expanding the Horizons of Entrepreneurship, held September 24 at the Ross Business School.
Brandon is chairman and CEO of Domino's Pizza Inc., a member of the University of Michigan Board of Regents and a member of the Ross Business School Visiting Committee.
Alessi, chairman and CEO of Lifestyle Improvement Centers LLC, the world's largest franchiser of hypnosis centers used to assist people with behavioral change, teaches a popular MBA turnaround management course at the school. He also received the school's 2004 Entrepreneur Award. He and his wife funded the Keith E. and Valerie J. Alessi Courtyard, dedicated at the west end of the Ross Business School campus in 1999.
Alessi, who describes himself as "the sanitation department of the entrepreneurial world," explained how as CEO he engineered the 18-month turnaround of the public tax preparation firm Jackson Hewitt. The market capitalization of the company went from $15 million to $468 million in one year. It was sold for cash at the end of that year, 1998, to Cendant Corporation.
Jackson Hewitt, one-tenth the size of H & R Block and the second-largest tax preparation service in the country, was a franchiser with a strong relationship with Wal-Mart, which housed 400 Jackson Hewitt offices, Alessi said. Poorly run and undercapitalized, Jackson Hewitt had a disastrous tax season in 1995. The firm was hampered by a strong personality cult centered on the founder, scattered focus and a board rife with politics. By 1997, when Jackson Hewitt had become profitable, the value of its stock had increased from $4 to $68 per share.
The benevolent dictatorship with a leader who can focus the organization is the best management style in a turnaround situation, Alessi said. As part of Jackson Hewitt's turnaround, the firm closed losing stores, drove down costs, restructured its board, focused on the business basics of executing, measuring and managing, and introduced stock options to motivate employees.
With stores in 60 countries and annual sales of $4.5 billion, Domino's relies heavily on franchisees to drive the firm's success, said Brandon, who engineered the firm's initial public offering (IPO) in 2004. Brandon, who as CEO of Valassis took the international marketing services and sales promotion company public in 1992, shared what he learned from both IPO experiences:
Among the strengths Valassis and Domino's Pizza had going into their IPOs and continue to benefit from, Brandon said, are talented leadership teams and strong corporate cultures that encourage employees to be entrepreneurial. Stock options and bonuses based on profits are powerful tools that propel organizations, Brandon added.
For Par Gandhi, MBA '06, weekly opportunities to listen and learn from business leaders like Alessi and Brandon are important to his overall education. "I feel this is why I'm here. One of my focuses is entrepreneurship," said Gandhi, who also attended a panel discussion titled "Venture Capital/Private Equity: Deriving Maximum Value for Your Investors."

Purging the system repeatedly of un-wanted air requires many contractor call backs.
Montwood High School (part of the Socorro Independent School District) in El Paso, TX, was facing this exact problem with its hydronic heat pump system. The school's heating system was installed nearly 17 years ago and the trouble began almost immediately. The school is a three-story building, which was built in stages - a contributing factor to the problem. According to Tony Regalado, maintenance engineer, the system never flushed properly and regularly "burped" as air built up in the 218 heat pumps. In addition, algae began to grow when the system's water temperature dipped below 70 °F.....MORE

One day after getting recognized for his superior defensive skills, Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman was honored for being one of the sport's best offensive players as well.
Zimmerman won the Silver Slugger Award today, selected by National League managers and coaches as the league's best offensive third baseman. The 25-year-old set career highs with 33 homers, a .292 average and 110 runs, while also driving in 106 RBI. His 30-game hitting streak in April and May was the majors' longest in 2009.
Combine all that production at the plate with his stellar work in the field — he won his first Rawlings Gold Glove Award yesterday — and Zimmerman put together quite a season.
"I'm very proud of what I did this year," he said. "It's obviously been my best year since I've been a big leaguer. I know it took a lot of hard work to do it, but at the same time I want to do even better next year."
Zimmerman beat out childhood friend David Wright for the Gold Glove, and he beat out another childhood friend, Mark Reynolds, for the Silver Slugger. Reynolds led all big league third basemen with 44 homers, though he batted only .260 and set a major league record by striking out 223 times.
"It's so hard to be put in the same sentence as the guys in the top level of this league," Zimmerman said. "There's probably three or four guys who deserve every single award. Mark's a very close friend of mine, and he had no doubt the best season he's ever had. He did some special things offensively, and he probably deserved this award just as much as I did."
