NYC's Columbia University seeks to alter Whites-only bequest
Category: National Written by Associated Press
(Diane Bondareff/AP)
NEW YORK (AP) - Columbia University is seeking to change the terms of a fellowship that can only be awarded to White students from Iowa.
The Lydia C. Roberts Graduate Fellowship stipulates that money be given only to "a person of the Caucasian race."
Roberts left Columbia most of her $509,000 estate when she died in 1920 and created the highly restrictive fellowship. In addition to the "Whites only" rule, Roberts fellows must be from Iowa, must not study law or several other fields and must return to Iowa for two years after graduating.
University officials filed court papers last week seeking to change the racist provisions of the bequest.
The Daily News reports (http://nydn.us/13l65pi ) that Columbia hasn't awarded the fellowship since 1997.
It's unclear whether or not Columbia has followed this rule, and this isn't the first time someone's spoken up about the grant.
However, the school's provost at the time, Grayson L. Kirk, defended the racial provision when the NAACP protested it in 1949.
"We do not feel we are justified in depriving some of our students of the benefits of restricted grants simply because they are not available to everyone," he said. [NY Post]
A Columbia spokesman did not return an email seeking comment Wednesday.

This Week In Black History
Category: National Written by Courier Newsroom
May 15
1911—Kappa Alpha Psi, one of the nation's leading Black fraternities, is founded on this day on the campus of Indiana University by 10 young men led by Elder W. Diggs and Byron K. Armstrong.
1942—The 93rd Infantry is activated and assigned to combat in the Pacific. It thus became the first African-American division formed during World War II.
May 16
1868—The United States Senate fails by one vote in securing the two-thirds vote needed to convict President Andrew Johnson of the articles of impeachment, which had been brought against him. The failure was a major setback for Black rights in America because Johnson had become a leading opponent of voting rights and economic advancement for the recently freed slaves. While the impeachment trial did not center on Black rights, Blacks would have clearly benefited if Johnson had been expelled from office.
1929—Detroit Representative John Conyers Jr., one of the founding members of the Congressional Black Caucus, was born on this day in 1929. He remains one of the most progressive members of the United States Congress.
1966—Janet Jackson, of the famous and talented Jackson family, is born on this day in Gary, Ind. Controversy remains as to whether Janet has a secret daughter.
1990—Sammy Davis Jr. dies in Beverly Hills, Calif., at age 64. Davis, born in Harlem, N.Y., was a world class entertainer who performed well as an actor, singer and dancer. He was also a member of Hollywood's popular and notorious "Rat Pack," which included Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford.
May 17
1954—The United States Supreme Court renders its landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education (Topeka, Kan.) declaring segregation in public schools unconstitutional. The unanimous ruling was written by Chief Justice Earl B. Warren, who headed one of the most progressive Supreme Courts in U.S. history. The ruling read in part "Segregation of White and Negro children in the public schools of a state solely on the basis of race…denies Negro children the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment." The legal team which argued the case was led by later Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshal. The ruling also had the effect of undermining all "Jim Crow" or segregationist laws.
1956—Boxing sensation Sugar Ray Leonard is born. The versatile fighter was named "Fighter of the Decade" for the 1980s.
1988—Black Ophthalmologist and inventor Dr. Patricia E. Bath of Los Angeles, Calif., patents an apparatus that efficiently removes cataracts by using laser technology.
May 18
1896—The United States Supreme Court issues its infamous ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson. The decision declared the doctrine of "separate but equal" was constitutional. By doing so it, in effect, approved all Jim Crow or segregationist laws designed to degrade Blacks or keep them separate from Whites. The ruling would stand until the Brown v. Board of Education decision of 1954.
1955—Legendary educator Mary McLeod Bethune dies at 79 in Daytona Beach, Fla. Born the 15th of 17 children in Mayesville, S.C., Bethune would rise to become one of the nation's foremost Black educators and early civil rights activist. She was a driving force behind the founding of Florida's Bethune-Cookman College.
May 19
1925—Black revolutionary Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little on this day in Omaha, Neb. His father, Earl Little, was an outspoken Baptist minister and a follower of the legendary Black Nationalist Marcus Garvey. For his outspokenness, Earl Little would be brutally killed in 1929 by a Ku Klux Klan type group. A smart and focused student, Malcolm dreamed of becoming a lawyer. But that dream would be crushed by prejudice when one of his favorite teachers told him that was "not a realistic goal for a nigger." He would end up dropping out of school and moving with his mother to Boston, Mass. He would later travel to New York City where he began a criminal life of petty crimes, but rapidly moved up to coordinating drug, prostitution and gambling rings. With the "heat" on, he moved back to Boston where he was arrested and sentenced to prison on a burglary charge in 1946. By the time he was paroled in 1952, he was a devoted follower of Elijah Muhammad and a small Muslim sect known as the Nation of Islam and had dropped his "slave" last name in favor of being referred to as "Malcolm X." From 1952 to 1963, he became the primary force behind the building of the Nation of Islam from a sect of fewer than 1,000 members to a national organization of over 30,000 members. But his faith in Elijah Muhammad was crushed when he learned in 1963 that the married and outwardly puritanical Muhammad had had extra-marital affairs with at least six young Nation of Islam women. A bitter separation resulted between Malcolm and the Nation. Malcolm then turned to a more orthodox version of Islam and began to seek closer relations with other Black Nationalist and civil rights groups. He was assassinated at Harlem, N.Y.'s, Audubon Ballroom on Feb. 21, 1965 by three men associated with the Nation of Islam. Malcolm X was 39.
1930—Lorraine Hansberry is born in Chicago, Ill. During her short life she becomes one of Black America's most prolific authors and playwrights. Her most famous play was "A Raisin in the Sun"—which was the first drama written by an African-American woman to be produced on Broadway. After her death from cancer in 1965, another one of her plays—"To Be Young, Gifted and Black" became a major off-Broadway production.
1952—Eccentric model and singer Grace Jones is born in Spanish Town, Jamaica. In addition to her singing and modeling, her unusual style propels her into a status as one of the icons of the disco and new music scene of the 1970s.
May 20
1743—Touissant L'Ouverture, the father of Haitian independence, is born. Although he was not part of the initial disturbances, L'Ouverture was quickly drafted into leadership of the 1791 Slave Revolt. He converted the random burnings of plantations and killings of unlucky Whites into a full scale revolution against slavery on the island. Under his leadership, the slaves were organized into an effective fighting force which would go on to defeat the British army and the greatest conqueror of the period, France's Napoleon Bonaparte. Indeed, L'Ouverture's fighting might was indirectly responsible for the growth of America. Desperate to raise money to fight the Haitians, Napoleon sold the massive Louisiana territory to America at an amazingly low price. L'Ouverture was tricked into attending a phony "peace conference" in France. Once there he was jailed. But the leadership void was immediately filled by one of his lieutenants—Jean Jacques Dessalines who would complete the revolution started by L'Ouverture. Haiti became independent in 1804.
May 21
1862—Mary Patterson becomes the first Black woman in U.S. History to be awarded a master's degree. She earned it from Oberlin College in Ohio.
2009—NFL star quarterback Michael Vick is released from federal prison after serving 19 months of a 23 month sentence for financing a dog fighting ring. Formerly with the Atlanta Falcons, Vick is now with the Philadelphia Eagles.
2009—A Black man—James Young—is elected mayor of Philadelphia, Miss.,—a town which during the 1960s had the nation's most racist reputation. Ku Klux Klan members dominated the town and it was known for the mistreatment and unpunished killings of Blacks. One of the most brutal events in the city was the 1964 murders of three civil rights workers. In his 2009 election victory, Young captured 30 percent of the White vote.
1881—Blanche Kelso Bruce is sworn in as a senator from Mississippi. He became the first Black man to serve a full term in the United States Senate. During his service, he advocated for the political and social rights of Blacks, Indians and Chinese immigrants.
1969—Police and National Guardsmen open fire on student demonstrators at predominantly Black North Carolina A&T University, leaving one student dead and five policemen injured.

Mexico arrests 2 men in Malcolm X grandson's death

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Two waiters at a Mexico City bar will face homicide and robbery charges in the beating death of Malcolm X's grandson Malcolm Shabazz, authorities said Monday.
Prosecutors said police were seeking at least two other people believed to have participated in the attack on Shabazz, who was beaten early Thursday in a dispute over a $1,200 bar bill.
Prosecutor Rodolfo Fernando Rios said bar employees David Hernandez Cruz and Manuel Alejandro Perez de Jesus would be charged with aggravated robbery and homicide.
Rios said there was no indication of a racial motivation in the attack on Shabazz, 28, who was assaulted after he drank with a friend at the Palace bar on Garibaldi Plaza, a downtown square famous for open-air performances by strolling mariachi musicians.
Miguel Suarez, a friend of Shabazz, told The Associated Press last week that the fight broke out after the owner of the bar demanded that the two men pay 15,000 pesos for the time they spent drinking at the bar. He said he found Shabazz outside the bar and took him to a hospital where he died.
Many of the bars around Garibaldi Plaza are notorious for exorbitant overcharging of customers, particularly foreigners, often on the pretext that customers must pay for time spent talking with female employees.
Rios said the initial investigation indicated Shabazz and Suarez were lured to the bar by two women.
An autopsy found that Shabazz died of blows to the head, face and torso.
Rios said Shabazz's body had not been claimed by relatives or the U.S. Embassy. He said Mexican authorities were dealing with transporting it back to the U.S.
Much like his grandfather, Shabazz spent his youth in and out of trouble. At 12, he set a fire in his grandmother's apartment, a blaze that resulted in the death of Malcolm X's widow. After four years in juvenile detention, Shabazz was later sent back to prison on attempted robbery and assault charges.
In recent years, Shabazz seemed to be seeking redemption, saying he was writing a memoir and traveling the world speaking out against youth violence. Before his trip to Mexico, he reached out to a group of Mexican construction workers in the U.S. and then visited in Mexico with a leader who had been deported.

BAY CITY (AP) — Two groups of men riding snowmobiles have been rescued from the ice on Saginaw Bay by the U.S. Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard says Saturday that three disoriented snowmobilers were hoisted about 9:40 p.m. Friday from the ice near Bay City after authorities received a 911 call.
Coast Guard crews about two hours earlier received a report that two other snowmobilers had crashed through the ice in the eastern part of Saginaw Bay about a mile offshore.
The men were able to scramble from the water on their own by the time rescuers arrived. One was flown by helicopter to an area hospital. An airboat carried the other man to shore, about 90 miles northwest of Detroit.

Written by PETA
As the air date for I Am An Animal, the HBO documentary about PETA, approaches, there is one important question in the minds of PETA staff members such as myself: "Am I in it?" Well, that's what I'm wondering, anyway. From everything I've heard about this film, it's an extremely compelling look at animal rights issues, PETA's role in the movement, and more specifically, what makes PETA President Ingrid Newkirk tick. Evidently, it's also very even-handed—it gives equal time to PETA's detractors, and it explores opposing viewpoints and the various controversies that exist within the movement from an impartial perspective. Which is all well and good, but as we know, the real question here is, are there any scenes that have me in them? Like, even a shot where I'm standing around in the background will be fine.
Unfortunately, most of the world will have to wait for the answer to this burning question until Monday at 8 p.m. If you don't have HBO, see if you can get yourself invited over to a friend's house to watch it—it really does look like it's going to be a winner. In the meantime, you can enter to win a copy of the DVD here, and by way of a teaser, here's what Ingrid had to say about the documentary:
By submitting this form, you are agreeing to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal info in accordance with our privacy policy as well as to receiving e-mails from us.
If you have a general question for PETA and would like a response, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. If you need to report cruelty to an animal, please click here. If you are reporting an animal in imminent danger and know where to find the animal and if the abuse is taking place right now, please call your local police department. If the police are unresponsive, please call PETA immediately at 757-622-7382 and press 2.

SOTU: Obama is Petulant, Petty, and Hypocritical
For someone who is constantly lauded for his brilliance and high-mindedness, and who himself seems never to stop talking about bipartisanship and unity, President Obama never fails to be petulant, petty, hyper-partisan and, most problematically, hypocritical.
After insisting at the outset of the speech that "we will move forward together, or not at all -- for the challenges we face are bigger than party, and bigger than politics" and that "we are part of the American family," Obama once again set out to demonize a part of that America, the evil producers of 90 percent of our energy, the oil companies. "I don't know if -- I don't know if you've noticed," Obama snarked, "but they're doing just fine on their own,"after demanding we eliminate unspecified "subsidies" for oil and give them to energy producers hand picked by Obama himself.

A recent surprise inspection of a Dartmouth College sorority house turned up Alexandra Essey and her roommate baking a pie.
It was a far cry from the so-called "vomlets" described in a former fraternity member's graphic hazing allegations earlier this year. Though a judicial panel found there wasn't enough evidence to back up the student's most egregious violations, including that he was pressured to consume vomit, his public airing of the allegations accelerated efforts to crack down on hazing at the Ivy League school.
The college implemented several changes to its hazing policy this fall, including the random walk-throughs of Greek housing and dormitories, and more are on the way. And while not every inspection has uncovered scenes as wholesome as Essey and her pie, college officials say the changes appear to be working.
For example, there were a record number of participants in Homecoming activities in late October, but the lowest number of alcohol-related incidents in years. And there's been a notable increase in the reporting of hazing allegations, which is significant given that such activity occurs in the "deep, dark recesses" of fraternities and other organizations, said Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson.
"By its very nature, it's clouded in secrecy, and I think the challenge Dartmouth and many, many institutions face is getting students to come forward," she said.
The new hazing policy encourages that by offering limited immunity to individual students who report hazing activity. Such students won't face college disciplinary sanctions even if they participated in hazing, as long as the conduct did not cause harm.
The new policies also include a "fresh start" amnesty program for fraternities, athletic teams or other groups that disclose hazing behavior will get help developing a plan to stop it. In both cases, individuals and groups still could be subject to criminal and civil penalties.
"It allows an organization that has recently engaged in hazing to come forward, fall on its sword if you will, and then start over," Johnson said of the "fresh start" program.
The walk-through policy did face some pushback by students, said Harry Kinne, director of Safety and Security, but most have come around.
"The anticipation was worse than the actual walk-throughs," he said. "We have heard from a number of organizations that it was not as bad or draconian as they thought it would be."

There have been claims that Bitcoin price and difficulty correspond. Is there empirical data to support or refute this?
If you look at the network hash rate, you'll notice that it fell off after the Bitcoin exchange rate dropped. This leads to the conclusion that price drives difficulty. A drop in price caused a drop in difficulty. I have noticed this same correlation on another occasion; about two months ago. Also, the reverse is probably true. When the price soared to $30+; the network hash rate accelerated greatly. The higher prices clearly attracted miners. |
The purpose of the difficulty is to ensure a blockchain solution is produced roughly every ten minutes. If there is a lot of hashing power available then solutions will be found quickly which causes a correction to make it harder, or conversely to make it easier. So the nub of the question is what causes variation in the hashing power? The short answer is the efficiency of solving the problem. This introduces other aspects:
Assuming that most miners are in it for the money rather than just being enthusiasts, then the primary concern is profit margin. So long as a miner can turn a profit that exceeds other available investments then he is rational to continue mining. He then faces the problem of maximising his profit margin above the break even point. Once way is to find and exploit a super-efficient way of solving the hashing problem just a little ahead of other miners then his operating costs are reduced without unduly affecting the difficulty level. Another is to reduce operating costs, perhaps by taking advantage of free electricity. He may even enjoy the side effect of heating his home during cold winter months, this reducing his operating costs further. This would mean that hash rate would be invariant against mild fluctuations in the price of a bitcoin. So, in short, it is individual profit margin to miners that drives the hash rate, not the naked price of a bitcoin. |
This relationship can be seen visually, though it is a rough correlation. In the all time chart (scroll down) you can see the orange being the price at Mt. Gox, and the grey line that steps up and down being the difficulty. Summary: AFTER the price moves, the difficulty follow the same direction, ... lagging two to five weeks roughly: - http://tvori.info/bitcoin/charts The green line shows profitability, which is not part of your question but is the most important line in that chart so I wanted to point that out.

Few people were there that early-morning after President Obama's re-election; it was about 5:45 when Bubba shuffled into the lobby. Bubba, after getting a cup-o-coffee sat at the "table of intelligence" and said – "well I hope you're happy – Obama's back so we'll face four more years of job losses, more bailouts and borrowed debt, and most of all we'll have to look at his arrogance" after a short breath he continued – "man he's just dumb, not even an American." Not at all surprised with his rant – I leaned on the counter and responded – "Yes I am happy – happy to be an American, to live in the arms of freedom, to know hundreds of millions cared enough to vote. President Obama isn't dumb Bubba and his past four years have pushed this country out of the path of deep-recession." Bubba replied – "guess we'll have to wait four more years until he's out then we can move ahead." Sorry Bubba that won't work – Congress tried that for the past three years. It's now time for all of us to wake up and lift up America.
I love America – especially her concept of individual freedom – the sacredness of equality, and the absolute acceptance of these words: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (and woman) are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Without doubt Bubba rests in the arms of partisan-politic, limited education related to truth, and most sadly – his concept of unalienable rights lays centered first in self and waist-deep in intolerant prejudice. Come on Bubba it's time to take a deep breath and drop the angst of politic – let's take advantage of the next four years. Instead of relying on Fox, newspapers or CNN to reveal what lies in the path of this administration returning America to the "top" we must face the unbiased truth and personally participate in the process.
We can start by staying in touch with our federal, state and local representatives, research issues including opinions from all sides. Most importantly - all of us must consider the "other" before the "self." If everyone cared more about those who surround them we would "live" the incredibly majestic intent of our constitution: equality of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Where could we be if we embraced gender equality, if we realized there is only one race and it's human, if who we love brought us into the arms of peace and compassion instead of bigotry, and if our greatest concern wasn't wealth and power rather it lay at the feet of our children? Perhaps I ponder too much – for these concepts have been beyond the reach of humankind for thousands of years – none-the-less, these concepts (equality of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) lay just in front of us – within our reach.
In a few weeks I'll install my flagpole in the heart of my memorial garden. I will raise the flag of my country and it'll remain over my home-land throughout the day and night. I'll honor my flag; its stars representing the union of our land, its white-stripes the purity of our sacred concepts, and its red-stripes exalting the sacrifice of a multitude ensuring she remains held-high. Surrounding this place of honor will be engraved memorial stones – they will read: Dalton & Hunkele, Baker & Worthington, Friends & Family and a special stone dedicated with these words "In memory of those who have sacrificed for equality, liberty and peace".
Obviously I'm embraced in the arms of emotion so just a final thought: if I pass you without smile, gentle greeting or an expression of my concern – gently stand in front of me and whisper – "I'm here" – or simply "call out my name". I'll be there.

Questions and discussions followed the presentation. David Knauber moved that David Fletcher be authorized to set up a forum on Denver's annexation policy. The forum will include speakers from City Council, particularly Councilman k*ck > and state legislators, particularly Representative Carol Tempest. The forum will be given city- wide publicity and will be held within the next six weeks. The motion was seconded and discussion followed. The motion passed. It was decided that the next board meeting would be held on Thursday, November 29, 1973 at 7:30 P.M. President Mike Henry noted that Jim Barfe^iahad volunteered to form a committee with President Henry to publicize the Sign Code violators. Jim James moved that Mike Henry and Jim Banji^take a tour of Capitol Hill to make a list of those persons violating the Sign Code, and send a letter to such violators asking that they discontinue violating the Code in the interest of aesthetics, power shortages and as an example to law-abiding citizens. The motion was seconded.; Discussion followed. Jim James stated that the City Attorney's attitude was that the court decision had essentially nullified the Sign Code and that only those signs constructed after the Code were subject to the provisions of the Code. It was pointed out, however, that pursuant to the findings of President Henry and Mr. Barjfe^t, pressure might be brought on the City Attorney to appeal the decision of the court or, in the alternative, pressure might be brought on the City Council to revise the Code so that it might be broader in application. The question was called and the motion was passed. President Henry read a letter from John Kelly, Chairman of the RTD, thanking CHUN for its help in the RTD election and promising not to abuse the trust placed &tf the citizens in RTD through that election. President Henry announced that pursuant to the board's appointing himself, Peggy Hart and Patty Jackson as the committee to replace Ethel Lunok, who had resigned from the board, Don Bain was asked and agreed to serve on the board.

Discrete Mathematics has been the most beneficial math course I have taken. I won't say that I learned to see math in a new way because it teaches you to see math and numbers in so many ways-from a theoretical to a computational perspective. I was fortunate to have a professor that motivated me to work on application problems in addition to the class work. This gave me the opportunity to discuss some basic applications that illustrated the course goals. Throughout the entire semester I diligently... Read More

Byrd on his Antarctic expeditions of the 20's and 30's m\\ be on display at the Cradle ot Aviation Museum in Garden City starting June 27. The aircraft, a Fairchild FC-2 which Byrd named the "Stars and Stripes," has undergone four years of painstaking restoration work since being obtained in 1982 on a permanent load basis from the Smithsonian's National Air and Space New NCPD Car Insignia On June 11th, Nassau County Police Commissioner Samuel J. Rozzi unveiled the department's new Police insignia which will be placed on all marked, Nassau County Police vehicles. The new decals duplicate the Department's official emblem and will provide a higher degree of visibility than the shield type markings which have been used for the past 10 years. The decals, in the shape of the Department's patch, are of a greater reflective quality and are more distinctive in nature. Pictured with Commissioner Rozzi, right, is Chief of Patrol, Lawrence Thorne. Museum. A restored Grumman F9F Cougar, the Navy's first swept-wing fighter in the 1950's, will also go on display for the first time on June 27. The restoration work on both planes was performed by a dedicated crew of 40 volunteers, most with aviation experience. The Grumman Cougar, obtained from the Navy and moved to Long Island from New Jersey with the help of Grumman, has been restored to its 1956 conition with the markings of the Naval Air Station at Floyd Bennett Field. The "Stars and Stripes" was manufactured at Fair-child in Farmingdale in 1928 and was used by Bryd on his Anarctic expeditions of 1929 and 1934. In addition to the new exhibits, the museum also features a host of other aircraft and artifacts that span the entire history of air travel, ranging from a mockup of the Wright brothers' plane to an actual Grumman lunar module. For further information, call the museum at 222-1191. Danger In Fireworks Citing the danger of explosive fireworks to life and limb. Police Commissioner Samuel J. Rozzi today warned county residents not* to become involved with pyrotechnics this Fourth of July season. "The fireworks being sold illicitly these days pose a positive danger to the life and well-being of adults and children," Rozzi said. Many of them are more powerful than industrial explosives. Anyone who has the mistaken idea that M-80s and Super M-80s are for fun is putting his or her future in jeopardy." Bomb Squad experts report that M-80sare more powerful than a quarter stick of dynamite and, furthermore, that these explosives are unpredictable. "These 'bombs*can go off at the first trace of a spark and blow the users hands off or destroy eyesight, " Rozzi said. "The injury lists of past years are grim testimony to the fact that the 'fun' of fireworks can ruin a person's life." Along with emphasizing the danger, Rozzi warned that extra patrols would be out over the long July Fourth weekend to crack down on fireworks users and sellers. "State law is specific about the illegal sale and use of fireworks," the Commissioner said. " in some cases, it is a felony to offer or expose for sale these heavy explosives. The punishment for conviction is up to four years in jail or a fine of up to $5,000." He pointed out that damage to property is as much a threat as the danger of personal injury. "It would be a shame to have to remember this Fourth of July —with its significance in the great symbol of the Statue of Liberty cen-tennial- Because of a terrible injury or other tragedy," Rozzi said. "Don't go near fireworks or anyone who has them.'* The Nassau County Police Department this month distributed more than 65,000 brochures to young people and familes through the school systems. warning the public of fireworks dangers and the severe penalties of the law against those who sell or use these dangerous things.

Melissa Lin-Mei Chow of Plainview, a senior at John F. Kennedy High School, has won a Grumman Science and Engineering Scholarship worth $22,000.

Some 250 students competed for the awards. Chow plans to study applied mathematics at SUNY Binghamton. The challenge of mathematics captivates her. "I've always had a keen interest in math," she says, "and have always done well in it. I believe applied mathematics occupies a critical role in the theoretical aspects of science.

No non-Moddb mirror is currently avaliable for R1041.
HEY that http://www.swrebellion.com/ site sends registration verification passwords in plain text in emails, not cool! ...thats bug report 1
Um. how does that have anything to do with the mod? Let alone it belonging here.
its relevent because thats where you sign up to play the mod/beta.
But that has absolutely nothing to do with the mod itself... If you want to complain about the forums, do bug one of the forum admins; SWR is a site with multiple SW mods and communities, and isn't just SoGE and Warlords. I also personally have nothing to do with the maintenance of the forums.
Preview images of the NR fleet; currently in the beta; the Prowler-class Reconnaissance Vessel and the Nebula-class Star Destroyer.
Ah, a Nebula-class Star Destroyer, she's beautiful.
Indeed she is. All of the NR cruisers that have models, and their skinned capitals, are absolutely stunning. Fittingly, the Nebula-class is also one of the NR's capitals; through the heavily modified Rejuvenator-class.
Its a shame there is not info on the Rejuvenator-class, but a nice addition none the less.
Agreed on the lack of info. Though, seeing how useful the vessel is, plus it's unique modification, I'd like to think we are honoring the Rejuvenator-class as it deserves.
Any idea on when I can build Y-wings that aren't masquerading as B-wings?
None. Getting a Y-Wing model that isn't ripped out of EaW is surprisingly difficult... I do have EJ's Y-Wing straight from HW2's Warlords, but getting it to function in Sins will take some work.
awesome, didn't realize there was a more current thread on this mod.
Yeah, we made a new one so we'd have better control over the OP and whatnot.
I love this mod, I've been following it since I first got Sins, and I'd love to contribute, but I lack the time and skill. My big question right now is, any idea when we can expect some stations?
Next public release; they are in the beta already. If you want to contribute; simply sign up for the beta and every once in a blue moon comment on how you're finding the mod (criticisms, things that need work, stuff that's done right, etc). Feedback is always greatly appreciated and valued.
Just a quick question. I am trying to access the beta (latest version) for this mod and need a bit of clarification.
I have:
Signed up for an account at SWR
I wrote a post in the Testing, SOGE 1.0e and higher
I signed up for a mantis account.
Now do I just wait, and someone activates for me, or should this open another link for me automatically?
Also I noticed a previous post about updating an SVN repository. What is this about, and does this have anything to do with the beta?
Ah, thanks for the reply. In SOGE I have general, testing, features and gampley (4). So it seems I need to wait for someone to activate it for me. Not that I'm impatient (alright, I am lol) but what is the usually time/ how often is the site monitored for this access?
Yeah, between General and Testing you would have Beta Testing...you'll have to speak to the mod team for real info.
Once you do you would click beta testing...welcome beta testers.... and follow....instructions.
Play Requiem in the meantime.
both fun.
I just cntrl alt deleted out of a requiem game to check the boards, so yes they are fun!!
Thanks again.
Not that long, you should have access by sometime tomorrow. The thread with the install information can be found here. Once you get access to the Beta Testers forum you'll be able to see that thread. SVN is the software/way we distribute the beta, it works quite well due to how easy it is to distribute updates.
Much appreciated
Got my access. Now, are there any specific star wars maps which use all of the new planet types? I had a search and could not find any that are up to date for the latest (649) beta.
You could always do a Random map; those have all the planets, the ones you'd see are randomly chosen of course. The SW Galaxy map(s) also fit what you are looking for.
I found the galaxy lite maps that comes with the beta and am playing with it now. However, the lite version only has three starting player, so I must assume that there is a full version of this (what you are referring to no doubt). On the SWR site I have found two sets of map, one which has mutiple sizes sw1, sw2, sw3, sw4, however this is not really compatible due to its planet types coming from other mods. The second set star wars galaxy max link is not working.
Edit: It is now. Snowba11 just updated.
The support I have got so far has been excellent. Thankyou

I wrote this last night when my frustrations were getting the better of me.... it's a bit irreverent but I always feel "laughter is the best medicine".
Deb/ Woodfox
Ironic Druidry
by Debra Lewis/Woodfox
I hug you tight, I hug you long
I hug you even when its wrong
yet all you do is bend and sway
and dump your pollen down my way
it makes me sneeze, it makes me cry
I think you're trying to make me die
This can't go on, it's got to stop
My axe will give you 40 chops!
And after that I'll saw away
ignoring the birds that seem to say
I'm chopping down their home
I've fated them to lonely roam
Sawing you to bits I think
of the nice table going next to my sink
of the lovely chair that was your arms
of the twig broom that will sweep the farm
I fantasize and cut in deep
But only then do I sit and weep
What a terrible end
You were my oldest friend
But now my arms are covered
the lumps and bumps outnumbered
by the rash upon my skin
you're haunting me from within
The irony does not evade
I know you felt you were betrayed
So I found homes for the birds and squirrels
but most places only take referrals.
I tried to get to know you I swear
I couldn't help if you just weren't there
So here I am the sneezing queen
the runny nose and red eyes stream
I try to be a decent hippie
And hug yet another blessed tree
But when the medicine fails dramatically
wise druids must retreat pragmatically

Why are you emailing the Client or Jobseeker every little question? I was talking with another recruiter about an open req. and their response was…I emailed them. My thought was….Why?
I find that too many Recruiters are hiding behind the computer. Do not be afraid to hear No or an answer you do not want to hear. Picking up the phone builds the relationship between you and the Client and you and the Job Seeker. Email can be a useful tool and complimentary tool but I believe your main source of communication should be the phone.
My challenge to you: Use the phone for everything for a month, change your habits and see how many more relationships and placements you can make. Stop hiding and let your voice be heard.

I'm ALL for keeping the "human" in Human Resources and wish that live time phone conversations were not so passe with HR folks. You "hear" so much more when you have a phone conversation as opposed to emailing. Come out come out wherever you are!!
So much call reluctance in recruiting currently.
A golden rule to live by - thanks Bruce for sharing.
I smiled and dialed for years. There's no doubt that connecting with candidates over the phone is the next best thing to in-person. That said, I do not subscribe to the smile and dial method anymore. I've seen too many recruiters wasting time leaving messages that will never be returned. Here's 3 steps to spend more time in "conversation" with candidates:
You can save time, and give the candidate a better experience employing these methods. Most candidates are skeptical of recruiters. Blindly smiling and dialing can add to the persona that candidates are just a number.
Thanks Jason these are excellent tips for the digital age of recruiting. The only thing you have to watch out for is that if you send out too many of these types of job email campaigns they may be considered as spam and their effectiveness may dwindle over time. Also you run the risk of your ip address being blacklisted by mailservers.
Having said the method is sound.
Totally agree Lance. I didn't expand much on what I meant by campaign. They should be timely, relevant, and transparent to as much extent as possible. The last thing you want to be is spammy. I've been testing them for about 18 months. Happy to share examples if anyone is interested.
I normally call and if I have to leave a message, I also follow up with an email, just for their convenience and the chance to be able to reach them more quickly. Once the relationship is established I utilize both means of communication depending on what is more appropriate....
I like your style Jason I'd love to see your examples, I'm always interested in what works for others.
I agree with Jason.
Jason - I would also love to see what works for you and share ideas.

I actually thought someone standing next to me took the same photo!I did attend the ceremony. It was very nice and exciting. I was glad to see the two of them make it official. They have been together a long time a care about each other.I was super surprised to see Patrick O'Bryant there! I didn't know he and Perk were that close. I was stoked to see Leon Powe and took a few minutes at the reception to let him know there isn't a single fan in Boston that wants to see him go. I expected to see more of his teammates there and also Big Al and Delonte West, them and Perk are close still.Ricky Davis was a huge surprise too....but that's another story! # posted by JSKCKNIT : 7:39 AM Thanks for the info. Interesting that more of his former teammates attended than his current ones. I am really holding out hope that Leon comes back. He is the personification of Celtic pride. Perk and Leon are my two favorite players so was really happy to find pics of the wedding online. If you read through the blog you'll see that both of those guys have been favorites with me since day 1 with me.

Devotion 12-7-12
On this day we remember Pearl Harbor and the trouble brought to our country in a time of war. There is always going to be something that wants to rob us of our peace.
But we have these wonderful words of Jesus in John 16:33: "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." And it is because He overcame the world from the cross that I have the strength and peace to face each day.
God, as we accept the fact that some wars are within, we thank You that You can give us peace in the midst. Help us to see and to reflect You and Your peace in each situation in which we find ourselves. For we remember "the battle is not ours, but Yours." In the name of Your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
In His service,

Hi everyone –
Wanted to let you know that TJ is doing well after his surgery….so much so that they are letting him go home 2 days early. Still need prayers for no complications during recovery so they can start chemo no later than January 7th. They do not know why there are so many tumors and his cancer is so aggressive so we need chemo to start sooner than later. Prayers that he stays well, no complications and of course for a miracle.
I have attached a photo of the family…the kids were finally able to visit for a short bit yesterday at Moffitt….very joyful moment, especially for the 2 yr old daughter.
Update on Paul Mobley 12-6-12
It's been quite a day. Paul has had several tests and I've talked to everyone except the oncologist and tomorrow Dr. Patel wants me to talk to someone from Hospice. We know the reason for all the bleeding Paul's had has been because of the large tumor in the pelvic area. The I.V. helped clear up the urine.
Paul's had some confusion today but think that will be better after he finally got something to eat tonight about 5:30. This new hospital is wonderful and is like going to a nice hotel. However, Paul told them he wasn't too happy being at the Holiday Inn.
Once again thanks for the prayers. Paul is in isolation and you have to put on gown, etc. to get into his room. Besides the Norwalk virus he also has Mersa and some other thing. So don't want anyone exposed.
Thanks for the prayers.

ST. LOUIS, May 3, 2011
The Boeing [NYSE: BA] Phantom Ray unmanned airborne system (UAS) successfully completed its first flight April 27 at NASA's Dryden Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif.
The 17-minute flight took place following a series of high-speed taxi tests in March that validated ground guidance, navigation and control and verified mission planning, pilot interface and operational procedures. Phantom Ray flew to 7,500 feet and reached a speed of 178 knots.
"This day has been two-and-a-half years in the making," said Darryl Davis, president, Boeing Phantom Works. "It's the beginning of providing our customers with a test bed to develop future unmanned systems technology, and a testament to the capabilities resident within Boeing. Just as follow-on tests will expand Phantom Ray's flight envelope, they also will help Boeing expand its presence in the unmanned systems market."
The flight demonstrated Phantom Ray's basic airworthiness, setting the stage for additional flights in the next few weeks. These company-funded flights will prepare Phantom Ray to support potential missions that may include intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; suppression of enemy air defenses; electronic attack; strike; and autonomous air refueling.
"The first flight moves us farther into the next phase of unmanned aircraft," said Craig Brown, Phantom Ray program manager for Boeing. "Autonomous, fighter-sized unmanned aircraft are real, and the UAS bar has been raised. Now IŌĆÖm eager to see how high that bar will go."
Phantom Ray is one of several programs in Phantom Works, including Phantom Eye, that is part of a rapid prototyping initiative to design, develop and build advanced aircraft and then demonstrate their capabilities. Boeing's portfolio of UAS solutions also includes the A160T Hummingbird, Integrator, ScanEagle and SolarEagle.
A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Defense, Space & Security is one of the world's largest defense, space and security businesses specializing in innovative and capabilities-driven customer solutions, and the world's largest and most versatile manufacturer of military aircraft. Headquartered in St. Louis, Boeing Defense, Space & Security is a $32 billion business with 66,000 employees worldwide.

Unmanned Phantom Ray makes first flight
by Jonathan E. Skillings
Boeing said today that its Phantom Ray unmanned aircraft has flown on its own for the first time.
The prototype unmanned airborne system, which sports a striking flying-wing design, flew for 17 minutes on April 27, reaching a speed of 178 knots and an altitude of 7,500 feet. More flights will take place in the coming weeks, Boeing said.
"The UAS bar has been raised," Craig Brown, Phantom Ray program manager for Boeing, said in a statement. "Now I'm eager to see how high that bar will go."
The debut flight took place at NASA's Dryden Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in California, following high-speed taxi tests in March. The flight test program is expected to last roughly six months.
The 36,500-pound Phantom Ray is 36 feet long, has a wingspan of 50 feet, and is powered by an F404-GE-102D turbofan engine. Eventually, it's expected to have a cruising speed of 614 mph, or 0.8 Mach, and an operating altitude of 40,000 feet.
Boeing formally introduced the Phantom Ray almost exactly a year ago. It will be using the aircraft, which the company says it's funding on its own nickel, as a test bed for future unmanned system technology. Eventually, the UAS could be used for a range of military missions including attack, surveillance, and autonomous aerial refueling.
Edwards AFB is also playing host to a similar UAS design from Northrop Grumman, the X-47B, which took its maiden flight there in February. That aircraft is being developed under a contract with the U.S. Navy, with the goal of getting an unmanned aircraft that can take off and land on an aircraft carrier.
Both the Phantom Ray and the X-47B have their roots in the discontinued Joint-Unmanned Combat Air System (J-UCAS) program that brought together DARPA, the Navy, and the U.S. Air Force.
"Autonomous, fighter-sized unmanned aircraft are real," Brown said.

Phantom Ray Completes First Flight At Edwards
Posted by David A. Fulghum at 5/3/2011 1:29 PM CDT
Despite the tight veil of security thrown over BoeingŌĆśs Phantom Ray unmanned aircraft demonstration program, several industry officials say the stealth-shaped aircraft made its first flight at Edwards AFB, Calif. on Wed. April 27.
ŌĆ£Boeing conducted what appeared to be a successful 17-minute first flight and recovery,ŌĆØ said an observer at Edwards. ŌĆ£First turn was shortly after takeoff -- just over lakebed. The first 2 turns were surprisingly tight as commented by those observing near inner runway. Rest of flight other than final approach were too far away to see. Gear down for entire flight. The landing was observed to be air force style, flared.ŌĆØ
Boeing officials initially were only allowed to confirm that the flight had taken place. Phantom Ray is considered one of the ŌĆ£starting pointsŌĆØ for a U.S. Navy Uclass unmanned, stealthy, carrier-based strike aircraft. However, other officials say a second flight is set for Thursday May 5.
After Aviation Week broke the news Monday of the first flight, Boeing released additional information. The first flight followed a series of high-speed taxi tests in March that validated ground guidance, navigation and control and verified mission planning, pilot interface and operational procedures. Phantom Ray flew to 7,500 feet and reached a speed of 178 knots.
Phantom Ray is one of four known low-observable unmanned reconnaissance or combat aircraft being readied for various programs.
The X-45C is the prototype vehicle for the Phantom Ray demonstration program. Another design, the tail-hook-equipped Avenger (Predator C) is the product of General Atomics. Both aircraft are expected to be involved in the Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike project which is itself an offshoot of the Unmanned Combat Air System Demonstration program. Northrop-GrummanŌĆÖs X-47B made its first 29-min. flight from Edwards on Feb. 4. Lockheed Martin is expected to enter a design based on its experimental Polecat and operational, black world RQ-170 Sentinel.
Google Earth imagery shows that Lockheed Martin has continued to expand the proprietary facility at Yucca Lake, Nev. It was established for Polecat testing and it includes a hangar that accommodates a 65-ft. wingspan aircraft.
Not all these aircraft will fit the Uclass template. The Navy has to decide whatŌĆÖs feasible by 2018. The Avenger and RQ-170 are much smaller than the Phantom Ray and X-47B. The Avenger is thought to be the least stealthy of the designs.
In associated UAV events, the RQ-170 ŌĆō sporting full-motion video capability since its return to Afghanistan operations last year ŌĆō is thought to have participated in operations that led up to the killing of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan by U.S. special operations forces.
The Pentagon has been employing airborne hyperspectral sensors for a variety of missions. These technologies are being employed in Afghanistan and other areas including Pakistan. (AW&ST, April 11, p. 55)
ŌĆ£Our success was built on developing and confirming leads and information that in part relied on airborne ISR along the lines of what it took to terminate al Zarqawi in Iraq in 2006,ŌĆØ says a former intelligence specialist. ŌĆ£Remotely piloted aircraft were a big part of the development of the knowledge base that led up to this operation.ŌĆØ
An embargo was placed on any release of information about the Phantom Ray flight until the initial test data were analyzed and videos reviewed which could be completed by May 3-4. The Phantom Ray is a further development of the Phantom WorksŌĆÖ X-45C which has weapons designed to be the same size as Lockheed MartinŌĆÖs manned F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
The Phantom Ray airframe was carried from BoeingŌĆÖs St. Louis facility to Edwards on Dec. 14 atop one of NASAŌĆÖs Shuttle Carrier Aircraft where it was housed in the Dryden Flight Research Center.

PHOTO: F-35A haunts Phantom Ray 1st flight
By Stephen Trimble on May 3, 2011 9:48 PM
Boeing has released some very cool photos of the first flight of the Phantom Ray today, but none cooler than this one. A Lockheed Martin F-35A lurks in the background on the ramp at Edwards AFB, Calif.. The air force's present (manned fighters) meets perhaps its future (unmanned combat air vehicles).

Which one will see operational service first? My bet is on the Phantom Ray!

Phantom Ray makes first flight with Video
Story by Chris Haddox
Video by Randy Jackson
Phantom Ray, Boeing's fighter-sized unmanned airborne system, takes off April 27 at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., for it first flight. Phantom Ray reached a speed of 178 knots and an altitude of 7,500 feet.
Phantom Ray, BoeingŌĆÖs fighter-sized unmanned airborne system (UAS), took to the early morning skies April 27 at Edwards Air Force Base in California for its first flight.
The 17-minute flight was deemed a success, and program manager, Craig Brown, celebrated this significant milestone with the Phantom Ray Team.
ŌĆ£We were confident it would fly and perform well,ŌĆØ said Brown. ŌĆ£It feels great to have this first one under our belt.ŌĆØ
Phantom Ray took off at 9:05 a.m. Pacific and climbed to an altitude of 7,500 feet above mean sea level to demonstrate basic airworthiness. The unmanned aircraft, operating autonomously, gracefully banked and turned as it completed its racetrack flight path over the dry lake beds at Edwards.
The picture perfect flight came four months after Phantom Ray arrived in California in December from St. Louis on the back of a NASA Shuttle Carrier Aircraft to begin ground testing and high-speed taxi tests in preparation for its first flight. Phantom Ray was rolled out May 10, 2010, at a ceremony in St. Louis.
ŌĆ£It was a beautiful sight,ŌĆØ said Teri Finchamp, Phantom RayŌĆÖs manufacturing lead. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve been part of this program since the beginning, and while IŌĆÖve imagined this day a hundred times, nothing can compare to actually seeing the Phantom Ray in the air.ŌĆØ
Brown, a former Air Force F-16 pilot, said first flight went as smoothly as the March taxi tests. ŌĆ£Watching it taxi and now fly, I think with the autonomy weŌĆÖve demonstrated we are definitely seeing the future of unmanned flight,ŌĆØ said Brown.
Phantom Ray will conduct additional flights in the coming weeks. It is one of several programs in BoeingŌĆÖs Phantom Works division, including Phantom Eye, which is part of a rapid prototyping initiative to design, develop and build advanced aircraft and then demonstrate their capabilities. Boeing's portfolio of UAS solutions also includes the A160T Hummingbird, Integrator, ScanEagle and SolarEagle.

Boeing has announced the second flight of the Phantom Ray demonstrator.
The event took place on 5 May at NASA Dryden in California, said Phantom Works president Darryl Davis. "Both flights that we did on Phantom Ray achieved all their objectives," he added.
Boeing initially funded 10 flights of Phantom Ray to demonstrate the aircraft; further flights are contingent upon funding from government customers. "We had indicated we were looking for some government funding to proceed," said Davis. "We have been talking to a number of customers."
Though Boeing would not elaborate on what organisation is interested in the aircraft or why, the company has been "working it pretty hard" to find interested parties, and believes the advanced unmanned air vehicle is likely to find buyers.
Davis also hinted at future use as an advanced Boeing testbed for future advanced technology programmes. "We are looking at, could we use Phantom Ray to demonstrate some of the things a navy UCLASS [unmanned carrier-launched airborne surveillance and strike aircraft] might do?"
The Phantom Ray is not designed to take-off and land from aircraft carriers, but the US Navy's UCLASS programme also includes an autonomous aerial refuelling demonstration.

Cardiff Blues director of rugby Phil Davies is trying to remain positive after their 59-22 demolition at the hands of Leinster on Saturday.
The heavy RaboDirect PRO12 defeat saw the Blues leak nine tries to leave the region on a run of five successive losses in all competitions.
Davies is remaining upbeat however and believes there is light at the end of the tunnel as they look to recover after losing several senior players.
"I am not going to give up, not after nine games," he told Wales Online.
"Nobody is putting any context on this. Everybody knows where we are with the situation.
"We have lost an incredible amount of experience. These young fellas are standing up and trying things.
"Lots of them are in different positions to where they were in the squad before. They have been pushed to the front.
"We've just got to keep working with them and keep pushing on.
"They have plenty of ideas and plenty of determination and we keep looking at ways to improve.
"It's not pleasant at the moment, but better results will come."
