"Calgary School" Political Pseudo-Science on Indigenous Nationhood
'Calgary School' Political pseudo-Science on Indigenous Nationhood
By Tobold Rollo; January 27, 2013 - Tobold Rollo Blog
Every field has its embarrassing deranged cousin who lives in the proverbial attic. In medicine there are doctors who deny the existence of AIDS. There are biologists who deny evolution. There are architects who say 9/11 was a controlled demolition. There are climate scientists who deny climate change. And yes, in the field of political science, there are those who deny Indigenous rights. Most of these quacks are on the internet and some of them even have books. All of them have devoted audiences with brains made of pink play-doh.
When it comes to Political pseudo-Science approaches to Indigenous rights, the University of Calgary is home to the majority of our academic embarrassments. Chief among them are Tom Flanagan and Barry Cooper.
These days, Flanagan and Cooper publish on Indigenous topics almost exclusively in reputable academic journals such as the Vancouver Sun and the Globe and Mail. They have contributed to the public discussion in a manner not unlike a lonely conspiracy theorist. Allow me to illustrate.
According to Cooper, Indigenous rights claims amount to so many "complaints, assumptions and assertions that have no basis in reality" – they are simply "projections of the imagination" or what Flanagan calls "word magic". Cooper compares this imaginative whimsy to the "self-evident structure of the common sense world" to which Cooper and his pinky-swear besty Flanagan have gained access. You see, most of us slobs remain enslaved in the Matrix. We live in a dream-castle, if you will – a lurid fantasy that has captured "aboriginals, bureaucrats and lawyers, both on the bench and at the bar, as well as by numerous academics, journalists and intellectuals" – in other words, anyone with relevant education or experience. But not the Neo and Morpheus of southern Alberta. Oh no.
See, unlike you or I, Cooper and Flanagan took the Red Pill and have been down the rabbit-hole training in politi-kung-fu at a Calgary dojo. They love to spoil your illusions. Do you think that's air you're breathing? Cause it's not.
To evidence this grand deception for the lay public, Cooper cites an immense body of scholarly literature that has withstood the most demanding levels of interdisciplinary academic scrutiny. Just kidding, he cites "a classic study [sic] published in 2000 by my longtime colleague and even longer-time friend, Tom Flanagan, called First Nations? Second Thoughts." Cooper deploys Flanagan's 'classic study' to debunk some heavy myths: The myth that Indigenous peoples have certain rights because they were here first. The myth that European and Indigenous civilizations were equal and therefore engaged one another as sovereign nations. The myth that they forged nation-to-nation treaties that affirmed Indigenous jurisdiction. For Cooper, this is all just a bunch of malarkey. Yep. He said 'malarkey'.
"In reality," Cooper informs us as he descends from the mountain top, "every human in the New World came here, or their forebears came here, from the Old World." You may recognize this as the stale 'We're all immigrants so you don't have special rights' argument. That kind of equality is comforting, don't you think? I imagine it was especially comforting to Polish people in 1939 as Germany went forward with its "immigration" into Eastern Europe. Presumably the Poles came from somewhere else, too, right? So why should they get special treatment? Perhaps this was what inspired the Germans to name the section of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp used for looting the belongings of new prisoners 'Canada'. Like many European colonial states, the Germans romanticized Canada as a land of unclaimed bounty.
One reason people get stuck on Indigenous rights is the myth that Indigenous and European civilizations were equals. It is obvious that they were not equals because of the "technological, military and political advantages that the Europeans developed, including the legal concepts of sovereignty and the state." There is nothing self-serving or circular about this position. Nope. As everyone knows, civilizational equality is a function of western technologies and legal concepts. If Indigenous peoples had thought to be European instead of not-European, their bargaining position would have been improved. Maybe they should have thought of that before they developed their 35,000 year old civilization on an entirely different continent. Duh!
In any event, the notion that Indigenous peoples would also possess of form of sovereignty by virtue of having a civilization is a non-starter for Cooper because sovereignty is something that only states possess. A shrewd historian, Cooper informs us that "sovereignty is a 16th-century term developed after the wars of religion to describe the new post-medieval regime. The two go together: no sovereignty without states, no states without sovereignty." Once again, Cooper is trying to help us to see the truth that is staring us in the face. The truth is that we always use terms in exactly the same way as they were used in the 16th century. For instance, if I were to mention my love of Black Jack you would know immediately that I am referring to a leather drinking vessel sealed with tar. Obviously. We also practice things in exactly the same way as we did in the 16th century, too. I rode a horse to work today. I work as a cobbler for the King.
Cooper's lesson is that despite what so-called 'legal theorists' or 'historians' or 'Indigenous people' may tell you, he and Flanagan have discovered that the word 'sovereignty' has been used by all peoples at all times in history to mean exactly the same thing. In the event that you find a Supreme Court, Government, or Royal Commission document that mentions Indigenous forms of sovereignty, it was planted by the machines. The same goes for the term 'nation'.
Speaking of nations, Cooper also thinks the term 'First Nations' is racist because it implies that prior occupancy (being here first) gives Indigenous people some kind of special legal and moral standing. Let's leave aside the fact that the racialized blood-quantum vision of nationhood is one of those amazing European developments that make theirs such a superior civilization. Let's also leave aside the fact that when Indigenous peoples speak about 'nations' and 'sovereignty' they are not referring to the 600 First Nations bands or their reserve lands under the Indian Act – they are referring to the 600 nations and traditional territories. They are also not talking about western visions of state sovereignty. Let's also ignore that recognizing 'prior occupancy' is one of the more fundamental principles of European common law traditions – our own laws are based in respect for prior occupancy. No, let's leave all of that aside and meditate for a moment on how awesome it must be to have "prior occupancy is meaningless and racist" within one's "self-evident structure of the common sense world." There, now don't you feel like you just bent a spoon with your mind? Well guess what: There is no spoon.
And there is no real debate about the existence [of] Indigenous rights either. Still, during lulls in dinner conversation you can hear the deranged cousin in the attic, pacing over yellowed copies of the Vancouver Sun and wrestling with his confusions regarding treaties that clearly "extinguish rather than affirm any loose notion of the sovereignty of so-called First Nations" even though no such nationhood or sovereignty could possibly have existed. Their confusion remains obscured by their certainty that the world is confused. Such is the embarrassment that is the so-called 'Calgary School' of Political pseudo-Science.
(My apologies if you were hoping for an academic critique, but the Calgary School's errors aren't simply a matter of scholarship – they are ideological.)

I'm referring to the messages that say, "So and so has logged on for 5 days" & "So and so hasn't logged on since, (whenever) she may need some encouragement." I think it would be good if we could set up our own. Like when I loose my first 5lbs, it says," Congrats!! You've done so well, go get a pedicure!" OR (if I haven't been logging in)" You've been slacking! How are you gonna fit in that dress?" Overall, more customization is what I'm looking for, especially on the iPhone app:)

Beryl Johnson, of Moon Township, Pa., wrote, "A pair of red tailed hawks built a nest in a pine tree in our yard this spring. One day about two weeks ago, we saw two blue jays harass the hawks at the nest. Since that episode, we have seen very little of the hawks. Could they have been frightened away by the blue jays?"
The blue jays almost certainly did not cause the hawks to abandon the nest. A more likely explanation is that a great horned owl or crow visited the nest while it was unattended and helped itself to the nest's contents.
Finally, from Guernsey County, Ohio, Barbara Chorey is the most recent of many readers asking, "Where are all of the hummingbirds? We just aren't seeing many this year."
I've been wondering the same thing. According to the map of returning ruby-throated hummingbirds (www.hummingbirds.net), hummers returned early over most of the East this year. I saw my first one the second week in May. But since then I've seen just a few. And when I did see a hummingbird at my feeders, it was just one. Most years in early June I see four five hummers whenever I check my feeders. So, I too wonder where the hummers are.
Two explanations come to mind. The first is yo-yo weather. We had 8 inches of snow on March 25, 82 degrees on April 9 and 16, 32 degrees on April 13 and 28 degrees on April 14. Then on May 24, the high temperature was only 49 degrees.
Though ruby-throats are hardy little birds, these thermal ups and downs could have had them scrambling to find early nectar sources and soft-bodied invertebrates. If spring weather has influenced hummer abundance, I expect their numbers will stabilize soon.
Another possibility is that last year's derecho at the end of June destroyed many active hummingbird nests. The big wind blew down many trees, and even if nest trees did not fall, the fierce winds could have easily blow eggs or chicks from the nests. As a result, fewer hummers may have fledged last year, and that may be why numbers are down this year.

Travel insurance
The Department of Foreign Affairs strongly recommends that you obtain comprehensive travel insurance which will cover all overseas medical costs, including evacuation by air ambulance, before travelling to Kyrgystan. You should check any exclusions and ensure that your policy covers you for the activities you want to undertake.
Travellers should note that the Irish Government does not provide funds for emergency medical repatriation or for repatriation of remains or for expenses incurred by Irish citizens as a result of a personal emergency while travelling.
Safety and Security
The Department of Foreign Affairs advises all Irish citizens to avoid all non-essential travel to Kyrgyzstan. We advise against all travel to the Oblasts (provinces) of Osh, Batken and Jalal-Abad. We advise all Irish citizens currently in Kyrgyzstan to avoid demonstrations and large gatherings.
Following protests on 31 May 2013, a state of emergency was declared in the Jeti-Oguz district (Issyk-Kul province) from 31 May to 10 June 2013. Security is reported to have been increased in both the Jeti-Oguz district and Jalal-Abad city.
In the southern Kyrgyz regions of Osh and Jalal-Abad, violent clashes broke out on 10 June 2010. Official reports refer to over 100 fatalities and 1500 injured.
Security was increased in border areas. We advise Irish citizens to exercise extreme caution in travelling overland from Kyrgyzstan to Uzbekistan or Tajikistan, to only use officially recognised border crossings and only travel in the border areas if absolutely necessary.
You should be aware of the continuing threat from terrorism, which Kyrgyzstan shares with other countries in Central Asia. There is a history of terrorist activity and armed violence, particularly south and west of Osh, where there have been several terrorist attacks and hostage-takings in the past. An explosion in Bishek on 30 November 2010 resulted in six people being injured.
All recent political incidents are related to internal issues and have not been directed against foreign visitors. Following clashes in June 2010 between protestors and security forces, the establishment of a parliamentary democracy was approved by referendum. Parliamentary elections were held in October 2010, resulting in the establishment of a coalition government. Following the resignation of the government on 22 August 2012, a new coalition government is expected to be formed in the near future. Travellers should exercise caution and avoid all demonstrations and large gatherings, particularly while in the capital.
Tensions exist over recognition of the Kyrgyz-Uzbek borders. A number of gunfire exchanges have been reported, most recently from the Jalal-Abad Oblast. You should only use officially recognised border crossings, as there is a risk that uncontrolled Kyrgyz-Uzbek border areas may be land-mined. The Kyrgyz/Uzbek and Kyrgyz/Tajik borders are subject to closure without notice. Travellers should check in advance which officially recognised border crossings are open.
Travellers must always carry their passports or notarised copies. The police can arrest those found without a form of identification. Under Kyrgyz law, anyone claiming to be a police officer must present their credentials on demand. Travellers should not get into cars with anyone they do not know, even if the person seems to be a police officer.
Taking photos of anything that could be perceived as being of military or security interest may result in problems with the authorities.
Travellers should avoid travelling in unofficial taxis, particularly at night and alone, or if there is another passenger already in the car. The Embassy does not encourage the hiring of private gypsy cabs instead of licensed taxicabs in Kyrgystan. In addition, taxis are not always metered and travellers should negotiate the fare in advance of entering the taxi.
Air safety
It is not known whether maintenance procedures on aircraft used on internal flights are always properly observed or whether passengers are covered by insurance. You are advised where possible to fly directly to your destination on an international flight originating outside Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and to avoid in-country and regional travel using domestic carriers.
Those intending to travel to and from Kyrgyzstan should avoid flying on airlines listed under the EU operating ban. Further information about this ban is available on the European Commission website at http://ec.europa.eu/transport/air-ban/list_en.htm
Road safety
Service stations and petrol/water access can be limited outside the cities of Bishkek and Osh. Make sure you take all you need for your journey. A significant proportion of cars are not safely maintained. The roads are poorly maintained with roadworks or damaged roads often not clearly signposted. Roads outside the capital are often blocked by snow during the winter months. Extra care should be taken when driving in Kyrgyzstan. Night-driving should be avoided.
We advise against using local buses and/or mini-buses as vehicles often lack seatbelts and are not well maintained. Theft is also a risk. Avalanches and landslides frequently block roads in the spring.
International Driving Permits are recognised in Kyrgystan. Travellers should use main roads when travelling in or around Bishkek and avoid large crowds.
Tuberculosis is widespread throughout the country and there are regular outbreaks of Hepatitis A, meningitis and brucellosis. Cases of AIDS and malaria have also been registered. You should seek medical advice before travelling to Kyrgyzstan and ensure that all appropriate vaccinations are up to date. Medical facilities are not as developed as those in Ireland. Medication easily available in Ireland may not be as easily available in Kyrgystan or may be restricted.
Mugging and theft regularly occur in both cities and rural areas and foreigners are a particular target. Keep large amounts of money hidden at all times and be wary of any strangers offering assistance or being over-friendly. There have been reports of thefts committed by uniformed police officers and gangs. Avoid walking alone at night and travelling in unofficial taxis. Passenger lists on aircraft are not always kept confidential. There have been cases of people being met by name from an aircraft and subsequently robbed. Travellers arriving at Manas International Airport should arrange their onward transportation from the airport in advance.
Local regulations require you to carry photo ID at all times. You should ensure that you have entered your next of kin details into the back of your passport. If you lose your passport you must report this immediately to the police and get confirmation of the loss in writing. This report will be necessary when applying for an emergency passport from the Irish Embassy in Moscow.
Please note that the Embassy is able to accept applications for new passports, which may take between four and six weeks to be processed in Dublin, but is not able to issue new full passports in Moscow.
The possession and use of drugs is illegal and prison sentences can be lengthy.
Driving under the influence of alcohol, however little consumed, is regarded as a serious offence in Kyrgystan. Seat-belts and motorcycle helmets are mandatory.
The local equivalent to the 999 helpline number is 101 (fire), 102 (police) and 103 (emergency ambulance service).
Local Laws and Customs
Entry Requirements
As of July 2012, a visa-free travel regime was introduced for citizens of certain states, including Ireland. As a result, Irish travellers to Kyrgyzstan do not need a visa if travelling in the country for a period of up to 60 days. The visa-free regime program is intended to run until the end of 2020.
If you intend to travel for a period in excess of 60 days in Kyrgyzstan, or if you intend to visit for any other reason than travel, or if you require any additional information on entry requirements and immigration please contact the nearest Kyrgyz Embassy, which is located in London. Details are as follows:
•Embassy of Kyrgyzstan
•Address: Ascot House, 119 Crawford Street, London W1U 6BJ, United
•Telephone: 0044 207 935 1462
•Webpage: www.kyrgyz-embassy.org.uk
Travellers to Kyrgyzstan are required to have a form of photographic identification with them at all times. It is advisable to take a number of photocopies of your passport and (where necessary) your visa with you.
Homosexuality was legalised on 1 January 1998. However, homosexuality is not often discussed or recognised publicly. Care should be taken over public displays of affection.
Natural Disasters and Climate
Kyrgystan is located in an active seismic zone. An earthquake measuring 5.7 on the Richter Scale struck 205 miles from Bishkek on 31 May 2012. There have been no reports of any injuries or casualties to date.
An earthquake measuring 6.2 on the Richter Scale struck the south western region on 20 July 2011.
Additional Country Information
Kyrgyzstan is a cash-only economy. You should only change money at officially authorised currency exchanges. Very few establishments accept credit cards and travellers' cheques. There are only a handful of ATM machines, and none in rural areas. US dollars are the most widely accepted foreign currency; others may be difficult to exchange.
Diplomatic representation
The Embassy of Ireland accredited to Kyrgystan is located in Moscow, in the Russian Federation. Its contact details are available here.

Competitive bidding and strong prices for well-bred 2-year-olds and yearlings were hallmarks of Don Horton's Strawn Valley Ranch Dispersal on Wednesday at Silverado Arena in Weatherford.
Produced by Western Bloodstock LTD, the sale featured offspring of The Smart Look, the top living producer of National Cutting Horse Association money earners, including 17 sons and daughters of her sons and daughters.
The dispersal grossed $1.085 million on 40 lots, with an average of $27,130. The top five sellers averaged $94,800 and included one 2-year-old, one yearling and one 4-year-old show horse.
The top 10 sellers averaged $72,900 and included four yearlings.
The sale topper, at $120,000, was 2-year-old Smart N Metallic, by Metallic Cat out of the Smart Look. The red roan colt, in training with Phil Rapp, was purchased by Jeffrey Neidhart, of Farmington, N.M.
Cats Lookin Smart, a 4-year-old mare in training with Ronnie Rice, was the second-highest seller at $100,000. The High Brow Cat daughter, out of The Smart Look, was purchased by Erin Russell, of Fort Worth.
Reyl Smart Deal, a full brother to Strawn Valley Ranch-sired Dual Smart Rey ($330,436), was the high-selling yearling at $72,000; he was purchased by Gary Rosenbach, owner of Rose Valley Ranch.
The high-selling yearling filly, at $70,000, was SVR Shesgothatlook, by Metallic Cat out of The Smart Look, purchased by Gene Power LLC. The other two top-selling yearling fillies were also The Smart Look daughters. Lookn Smooth N Sassy, by Smooth As A Cat, sold for $60,000 to Tommy Manion. Sheza Smart Pepto, by Peptoboonsmal, brought $50,000 from Rusty Simpson.
Smart Look Classic, a 4-year-old clone of The Smart Look, was the third-highest selling horse from all lots. She was purchased by Bobby and Dottie Hill for $97,000. The price, according to Western Bloodstock officials, was the highest ever paid at auction for a clone, and included two embryos, by Metallic Cat and Dual Rey.
In addition, 25-year-old The Smart Look, along with her weanling filly by Metallic Cat, sold for $85,000 to Julie Wrigley.

There I met my heroes and found mentors that gave me hope and expanded my paradigm. Since the conference, we now approach life and our son from the view of acceptance, help him to see and know himself, teach him how to self advocate, and join with him in enjoying the things that make him smile. We no longer fight against our son's differences but embrace them and this way of loving has even taught us to how better accept and love each other as a couple. We still have a long way to go and even more to learn, but I now know that hope has no limit unless I place it there. - Sara McCarter, Mom to Magnus "the great"

With the United States facing many challenges at the moment, investors are faced with a tough decision. Either continue to invest domestically or seek opportunities in other regions of the world. One area that has recently caught investor interest are the emerging markets of the world. One market that appears poised for a bright future is Brazil. I will list 6 reasons why Brazil should be considered in a portfolio.
Over the past few years, Brazil has had its ups and downs. Lately though, it seems to have been more negative. However, there are many reasons that investors should still be optimistic about the future prospects for the region.
(1) Future Events
The biggest reason may be the benefits that a couple of future events will provide. The country will be sponsoring both the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics. Both of these events should generate strong revenue for Brazil. Additionally, as Brazil prepares for the games, investors should expect the country's infrastructure to grow exponentially. Based on recent estimates, Brazil can expect to generate $3.5 billion from the World Cup and $5 billion from the Olympics.
Additionally, the events should open up future opportunities to derive additional revenue from future tourism. The improved infrastructure from the World Cup and Olympics should help to create a flourishing tourism industry over the next decade and beyond. Investors may want to consider companies and industries that will benefit from this improved infrastructure.
(2) Consumer Confidence
The second reason to be positive about Brazil is because of consumer confidence. During the last 10 years, more than 40 million Brazilians have been able to escape poverty and climb into the middle class. This demographic shift should increase demand for many goods and services and help drive Brazil from an emerging market into a developed one. If investors want some historical perspective, all they have to do is look at what happened to the United States economy as more and more people climbed into the middle class. It sparked one of the biggest bull markets in history.
(3) Manufacturing Growth
A third reason to consider Brazil is because of their manufacturing industry growth. During the third and fourth quarter of 2012, Brazil's manufacturing growth has been 1.1%, the highest rate since early 2010.
(4) Population Age
A fourth and final reason to consider Brazil is because their median population age is just 28.9 years, making it one of the youngest median population ages in the world. As a point of comparison, the United States has a median age of 36.9 and Japan has a median age of 44.6. This helps to explain why so many people are confident about Brazil's future. The benefits from having a younger age are immense. Mainly, it allows the younger members of society to work to grow the economy without worrying about challenges that face an older society, such as how to provide healthcare and affordable living.
(5) Commodity Rich
Brazil is the beneficiary of lands rich in natural resources. The country has an abundance of precious metals, oil, minerals, and agricultural products. It is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of iron ore, nickel, aluminum, and coffee.
(6) Valuation
Brazil's valuation, as compared to other emerging markets, is incredibly undervalued. Brazil's current valuation puts it close to levels the region hasn't seen since the 2008 global economic crisis. Things have improved since that period which means investors should be paying attention.
How To Invest
Now that the reasons for considering Brazil have been addressed, let's look at ways that investors can take advantage of the region. One way that investors can put their capital into the region is through exchange traded funds. ETFs allow investors to diversify their funds while gaining exposure to a broader set of companies, industries, sectors, and investment principles.
The most common ETF in Brazil is the iShares MSCI Brazil Capped Index Fund (EWZ). EWZ trades over 1 million shares per day which offers investors plenty of liquidity to establish positions and then liquidate if necessary. EWZ invests in a wide selection of industries including healthcare, energy, and financials. The fund's top holdings include Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR) and Vale S.A (VALE). Both of these companies are heavily invested in the energy market. So if you are confident about the future of energy, natural resources, and precious metals, these stocks and the ETF may be vehicles to consider.
Vale closed Friday at $19.51, giving it a market capitalization of $100.5 billion and a PE ratio of 8.57, much lower than its peers. It also has a price to book ratio of 1.2 and an average ROE of 16%.
Petrobras closed Friday at $15.96, giving it a market capitalization of $104.1 billion and a PE ratio of 10.01. It has a price to book ratio of 0.7 and an average ROE of 7%.
Above are 6 reasons why investors may want to consider diversifying into Brazil's economy. Consumer confidence is high, tourism is set to flourish over the next decade, and the manufacturing industry appears to be growing at strong levels. While that does seem favorable, it is important to keep in mind some risks. Historically, the country has a rather low unemployment rate of 5.4%. This forces businesses to pay higher than normal wages to retain the best workers. Also, the country faces high tariff costs and has few international trade agreements in place. This is a negative at the moment as it focuses the country to be domestically focused. If this were to change, it would turn into a positive as the country would become a global economic power.

"We're excited to introduce RSS feeds to the Geneva College Web site," says Web master Rachel Sproul. "Now getting updates on GC news is fast and simple."
What is RSS (Really Simple Syndication)? RSS is a type of Web feed, a quick way to get frequently updated information on the Internet (such as blog entries, podcasts and news headlines). RSS content can be read using aggregators, which collect the feeds so you can access them all in one place.
Tech jargon aside, this means that you can access your favorite frequently-updated material on the Internet from one place. This includes all news on the Geneva College site, from front page articles to men's and women's sports.
Google and Yahoo! have their own readers, but there are also plenty of other independent, free aggregators. You can add Geneva's news feed by clicking on one of the buttons, or you can manually do it yourself if you're familiar with the RSS process. For access to the basic Geneva news feed, click here; for the men's athletics news feed, click here; for the women's athletics news feed, click here.

Movie crowds dip to 16-year low as apathy lingers

An "Avatar" hangover accounted for Hollywood's dismal showing early this year, when revenues lagged far behind 2010 receipts that had been inflated by the huge success of James Cameron's sci-fi sensation. Just what has kept the movie business in the dumps the rest of 2011 is anyone's guess. A solid summer lineup helped studios catch [...]

Building a custom Linux with the NimbleX Live CD Generator
If you want customization without all the fuss, then try building your own custom ISO image with the web-based Custom NimbleX Live CD Generator.
NimbleX is a minimal Linux distribution based on Slackware. The compact NimbleX system is used primarily for Live CDs and USB sticks, and according to the website, NimbleX also runs well from the hard drive or even over the network. But perhaps the most interesting feature of NimbleX is the custom CD generation service available through the project website. The Custom NimbleX Live CD Generator lets you select the components and applications you want to include in the system, then it generates a Live CD image on the basis of your specifications. By simply selecting applications from a series of menus, the Live CD Generator resolves any dependencies behind the scenes.

Morrissey's 'Autobiography' Finally Being Released This Month… In Europe Only

Los Angeles Morrissey fans collectively rolled their eyes today as their temperamental superhero announced he'd be canceling Tuesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live! performance.

England Head Coach Stuart Lancaster, who confirmed the appointment at this evening's squad meeting, said: "Chris stepped into the role 12 months ago, when we were building a new team, and he has grown as a leader on and off the field.
"He showed those leadership qualities during the QBE Internationals, and especially against the All Blacks when the whole squad got behind him. We have a number of leaders and I know they will all take this team forwards with Chris as we look to kick on from that result."
Robshaw, who has said: "Stuart told me this afternoon and I am really pleased to be asked again. There are other leaders in the squad that Stuart could have turned to so I am really honoured. The lads have been great over the last year and now we our focus is on building on the New Zealand performance and getting a result against Scotland."
Also, in injury news, Freddie Burns was today assessed by the England medics in consultation with Gloucester Rugby following the knee injury sustained in the Amlin Challenge Cup on Saturday.
The fly half will stay with England at their Leeds training camp and his knee will be scanned over the next few days to establish the full extent of the problem.

Solar Industry Grapples With Hazardous Wastes
By Jason Dearen
SAN FRANCISCO -- Homeowners on the hunt for sparkling solar panels are lured by ads filled with images of pristine landscapes and bright sunshine, and words about the technology's benefits for the environment and the wallet.
What customers may not know is that there's a dirtier side.
While solar is a far less polluting energy source than coal or natural gas, many panel makers are nevertheless grappling with a hazardous waste problem. Fueled partly by billions in government incentives, the industry is creating millions of solar panels each year and, in the process, millions of pounds of polluted sludge and contaminated water.
To dispose of the material, the companies must transport it by truck or rail far from their own plants to waste facilities hundreds and, in some cases, thousands of miles away. The fossil fuels used to transport that waste, experts say, is not typically considered in calculating solar's carbon footprint, giving scientists and consumers who use the measurement to gauge a product's impact on global warming the impression that solar is cleaner than it is. After installing a solar panel, "it would take one to three months of generating electricity to pay off the energy invested in driving those hazardous waste emissions out of state," said Dustin Mulvaney, a San Jose State University environmental studies professor who conducts carbon footprint analyses of solar, biofuel and natural gas production. The waste from manufacturing has raised concerns within the industry, which fears that the problem, if left unchecked, could undermine solar's green image at a time when companies are facing stiff competition from each other and from low-cost panel manufacturers from China and elsewhere. "We want to take the lessons learned from electronics and semiconductor industries (about pollution) and get ahead of some of these problems," said John Smirnow, vice president for trade and competitiveness at the nearly 500-member Solar Energy Industries Association.Select the service that is right for you!

Oxford Travel Tips
Oxford Vacation Rentals Are in One of America's Top 100 Small Towns
The city of Oxford, in Lafayette County, Mississippi was founded in 1835 and is home to "Ole Miss," the University of Mississippi. It is regularly nominated as one of the Best 100 Small Towns in America. The climate here is good all year-round with long somewhat humid summers and short mild winters. Oxford lodging is accessible from Interstate 55 and within an hour's drive of Memphis with its international airport.
Oxford Vacation Houses Are Ideal for Visiting Many Attractions
The affluent city of Oxford has an interesting history with many attractions commemorating its past. The town square itself dates from 1837 and remains the hub of this small city. Here, visitors to Oxford vacation rentals will enjoy exploring the unique boutiques, stores and even the oldest department store in the South. There are also art galleries, book stores and restaurants.
The LQC Lamar House is a restored three-acre site commemorating the life of this former Supreme Court Judge, who lived here from 1869 to 1888. Visitors can also tour Rowan Oak, the home of the Nobel Prize winning author William Faulkner. Nearby, Faulkner fans will find his final resting place at St. Peter's Cemetery, along with many other of the city's notable residents. While here, also visit the University Museum with its fascinating permanent exhibitions of Greek and Roman artifacts, 19th-century scientific equipment and local folk artist Theora Hamblett. Music lovers may also want to investigate the Blues Archive at the university, with an impressive collection of records, movies, photographs and more. Much of the exhibitions are influenced by African American musicians. The Center for the Study of Southern Culture has an excellent display of photography from across the south. The Confederate Cemetery is a small walled garden housing a single monument at its center. This marks the 1862 graves of over 700 Confederate and Union soldiers at the battle of Shiloh. An evening out in the city may include a visit to the Powerhouse Community Arts and Cultural Center where there are a variety of events such as open mic nights, movies, live performances, and more. Dating from 1880, the Walton-Young Historic House is a registered State Landmark and the Historic Burns Church commemorates the original "freedmen's town" and the role of African Americans in the city's development.
Visit the Mighty Mississippi and Memphis Tennessee
Oxford vacation houses are conveniently located for a wide variety of day trips. While staying in Oxford, visitors may want to explore along the famous Mississippi River, with its beaches and activities to enjoy. The state also has many historic sites from the Civil War, such as Beauvior, the impressive home of Jefferson Davis, the only President of the Confederate States and Brice's Crossroads National Battlefield and Visitors Center.
Within an hour's drive of Oxford is Memphis, Tennessee where visitors may want to visit such sites as the National Civil Rights Museum, housed in the old Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King Jr. was shot and killed. One of the most famous tourist attractions in the United States is also in Memphis--Graceland, former home of the legendary Elvis Presley. Other than the White House, this house is the most visited home in America. Other sites in Memphis are Mud Island River Park, Pink Palace Museum, Memphis Walk of Fame, Stax Museum and the Cotton Museum among many more.
Oxford Lodging Includes Great Properties with Everything You Need
Oxford vacation rentals come in every size and in a wide variety of locations. Some are within an easy walk of the town square for access to the restaurants and atmosphere. Others come with a pool or condo with clubhouse and access to a fitness center. Each home is equipped with everything you need to create a home-like environment. Many homes provide extras such as big screen TVs, entertainment systems, wifi internet access and play areas for children. Some welcome pets.

Feds in the Cloud
January 31st, 2012
The federal government has a new "cloud first" technology policy, meaning that IT systems should be using web-based applications hosted by trusted vendors whenever a secure, reliable, cost-effective cloud option exists. All agencies must move at least 3 systems "to the cloud" by mid-2012. Email and workplace collaboration applications are among the most popular early choices of applications being moved to the cloud, with a number of agencies already successfully moving to web-based email. Which agencies are leading the way, and what can other federal employees learn from their experience? Join us for a discussion on Federal News Radio to learn more.

"When I first came into the Smokies the whole region was one of superb primeval forest. My sylvan studio spread over mountain after mountain, seemingly without end, and it was always clean and fragrant, always vital, growing new shapes of beauty from day to day. The vast trees met overhead like cathedral roofs. I am not a very religious man, but often when standing alone before my Maker in this house not made with hands I bowed my head with reverence and thanked God for His gift of the greatest forest to one who loved it. Not long ago, I went to that same place again. It was wrecked, ruined, desecrated, turned into a thousand rubbish heaps, utterly vile and mean."
— Horace Kephart
As people throughout the mountains and around the country mark the celebration of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park's 75th anniversary, Horace Kephart's role in this park's creation is once again being thrust into the limelight. While his depiction of "southern highlanders" in his famous book may still be open for debate, two things about Kephart are certain: he was, as the passage above shows, a superb writer; two, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park might not exist had it not been for his advocacy.
Kephart was an outlander, a man who came to the Smokies in his middle age and found people and a place that would consume him for the rest of his life. He cherished his time in the Smokies, and his skills as a chronicler of the ways of the rural mountaineer have earned him a lasting place in Appalachian history.
But it was how he used that fame that is most noteworthy. As he witnessed the sudden change wrought by large-scale logging upon mountain communities and mountain landscapes — again, see the passage above — he began to see the necessity of preserving what at one time had seemed an endless forest.
Kephart began writing articles and advocating to whomever would listen about the need to create a national park in the Smokies. The idea riled many of the mountaineers who had become his friend, for many at that time did not see the benefit of locking away land that had for generations been hunted, fished and used for its bounty to house and feed entire communities. There was also the unheard of controversy of creating a park — in essence, taking the land — of hundreds of families whose farms and homes were in the area being considered for the national park.
As we realize now, Kephart and others who fought relentlessly for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park were visionaries. They carved a jewel out of the remaining mountain wilderness, creating what has become one of the most bio-diverse habitats left in North America and the entire planet.
Early park supporters also gave this region another important legacy — an economy based on tourism rather than taking from the land. Although the logging and timber industry are still important and still a vital part of the mountain heritage, the preserved forests and wilderness also have fed generations of mountain families. People come here to connect with the mountains, to get that same feeling Horace Kephart describes in the above passage.
As we mark the creation of this great park, it's a proper time to pay homage to those like Kephart who made it possible. This would be a vastly different place had they not prevailed.

It was a nice little fifteen minute time waster but it could have been better. To me, it was just a minigame to play while waiting for breakfast, but you could have made it into a lot more. Upgrades, enemies, more options. Come on, there are so many horizons on newgrounds, broaden yours!

When it comes to returning the panache to Atlantic City's Boardwalk, one rising star shines brighter than the rest: The Chelsea.
Flip on the lights this winter with an overnight stay for two in an Annex Avenue King or Double-Queen Room, Fridays ($89) or Saturdays ($159) from December 1, 2012, to February 24, 2013. Or, upgrade to an overnight for two in a Luxe Water King or Double-Queen Room, Fridays ($119) or Saturdays ($199) from December 1, 2012, to February 24, 2013. You'll also receive a $15 resort credit and two Solarium passes with your visit.
This chic hotel sparkles with signature style, namely the old-school glamour of America's original resort town. The Luxe tower's posh rooms—featuring one king or two queen beds, sleek and modern décor, and sweeping water views—will brighten your outlook. Rooms in The Annex, meanwhile, offer one king or two queen beds as well as retro-cool balconies and bathrooms.
With the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk largely preserved, there's enough to keep you entertained day and night. Explore its full length, or just walk next door to the Tropicana's casino. In the evening, make your way down to Tepliztky's, the hotel's classic diner, for a late-night coffee or an early-morning plate of stuffed challah French toast with your $15 resort credit.
The weather's little match for Atlantic City's sunny spirit. No matter what the forecast says, two included passes to the Solarium—part of the 10,000-square-foot Sea Spa—will keep you nice and toasty. Soak in the Jacuzzis, unwind in the steam room, or bask in the sauna.
Sure, the Atlantic City you know and love is flickering back to life and open for business. But why settle for back to normal when you can turn up the wattage of your shore experience at The Chelsea?
