Achieving the Dream Leader Colleges are increasing student success and completion outcomes, especially for low-income students and students of color. The following are examples of progress against our indicators for the Achieving the Dream colleges that earned the Leader College distinction in 2012:
- Bay de Noc Community College increased success rates in gateway English courses from 69.1% in 2005 to 74.2% in 2012. This improvement is associated with the expansion of the First-Year Experience course, a redesign of the college's orientation and advising system, improvements to the Transitional Developmental English Courses and Transitional Reading Courses, and professional development to the majority of their faculty and staff. The First-Year Experience course has been scaled from serving 20.4% of developmental education students in Fall 2009 to serving 42.0% of developmental education students in Fall 2011.
- Central Piedmont Community College increased student course completion rates for all students from 65% in Fall 2007 to 72% in the Fall 2011, and term-to-term retention for IPEDS students from 69% in Fall 2006 to 83% in Fall 2011. These increases in student success are associated with a new pre-placement test prep program, a redesigned new student orientation, the development of an online student orientation, the implementation of case management advising system, a change in the early withdrawal policy, and a minority male mentoring program.
- Community College of Baltimore County increased success rates in developmental and gateway English courses substantially through the development and implementation of an accelerated English developmental sequence. Students in the accelerated English program have increased their gateway successful completion rates from a baseline of 30% to 74% in Fall 2010. Community College of Baltimore County has become a national leader in accelerated developmental education and is currently working with community colleges across the country to replicate this acceleration strategy.
- College of the Ouachitas increased graduation and transfer rates for all students from 43.2% in 2008-09 to 51.5% in 2011-12. This increase is associated with a multi-faceted approach to address the First-Year Experience of all students, which includes mandatory new student orientation and registration, enrollment in a credit-bearing freshman seminar, developmental math redesign, curricular redesign, and design and implementation of a social networking/support program called Men on a Mission that targets student success and retention of African American males.
- Davidson County Community College increased the percentage of students successfully completing developmental education courses. The college did this through student coaching, requiring a student success course, increasing the number of full-time faculty devoted to teaching developmental education, and changing their course withdrawal policy. This resulted in an increase in students completing all developmental math courses within one year from 20.4% in 2007-08 to 28% in 2010-11; an increase in students successfully completing all developmental English courses from 27.8% in 2007-08 to 38.7% in 2010-11; and an increase in the percentage of students completing developmental reading within one year from 25.7% to 43%.
- Elgin Community College increased overall fall to spring retention from 67% in 2006 to 78% in 2010. Disaggregated data for Black and Hispanic students also increased: from 51% to 67% for Black students, from 67% to 80% for Hispanic students, and 72% to 78% for developmental education students from 2006 to 2010. Successful course completion also increased overall from 67% of course enrollments in 2006 to 72% in 2012. The number of completers (degrees and certificates total) has increase by 11% (from 9% to 20%) from 2006 - 2008. These remarkable gains are associated with the establishment of a formal partnership between Elgin Community College and four public school districts in their service areas, the redesign of the First-Year Experience supports for all incoming degree- or certificate-seeking students, and a series of changes to developmental education.
- Greenville Technical College increased student fall to spring persistence for all students from 62.5% in 2007-08 to 72.7% in 2011-12. This persistence was particularly impressive for African American students with the increase going from 57.5% in 2007-08 to 71.3% in 2011-12. This improvement is associated with the college's New Student Orientation that has been scaled to reach 95% of new Greenville Technical College students.
- Lone Star College System increased persistence rates for all students from 2006 to 2011. In addition, the college is closing and narrowing achievement gaps between student subgroups.. In 2006, the persistence rate of White students exceeded the persistence rate of Black student by three percentage points (67% and 64%). Today, 69% of White students persist and 72% of Black students persist from fall-to-spring. The persistence gap between Hispanic students and Black students has narrowed from five percentage points to one percentage points (fall-to-spring) between 2006 and 2010 (from 64% to 72% persistence for Black students and 69% to 73% persistence for Hispanic students).
- National Park Community College increased fall to spring retention of Pell Grant recipients in their student success course from 60.5% (average 2004-2007) to 73.8% in 2010- 2011. This improvement is associated with their first year success course called College Seminar that is required for all full-time, degree-seeking students. The success of the College Seminar course stems from a redesign of the course to utilize cooperative learning strategies, the On Course curriculum, and a module on fiscal responsibility. The course has also been scaled up to reach 85% of the college's students.
- Springfield Technical Community College increased fall to spring retention rates for the Achieving the Dream cohort students from 69% in 2008-2009 to 77% in 2011-2012. Retention rates also climbed for white students (76% to 80%), Hispanic students (62% to 73%), and African-American students (65% to 74%). This improvement is associated with the college's Intrusive Advising model.
- Temple College increased the course completion rates of developmental students from 53.8% in 2007-08 to 56.1% in 2011-2012. These success rates increased significantly for populations that were at high risk of dropping out, including males of color (African American students: 38%-44% and Hispanic students: 54%-59%) and students who receive Pell grants (50%-55%). This increase is associated with the creation of a centralized student success division, professional development, continuous orientation, and the implementation of Zero Week between the end of registration and the first day of classes (when the college holds student success workshops for students and planning time for faculty and staff).
- Texarkana College increased successful completion of developmental courses for first-time-in-college students from 43% in 2006 to 54% in 2011. This improvement is associated with the college's student success course, reorganizing developmental education at the college, required weekly attendance in tutorial lab sessions for all developmental education students, and providing access to individualized tutorial assistance through multiple formats.
- Trident Technical College increased developmental and gateway math course completion from 40.3% in 2006 to 44.9% in 2011. Successful completion of developmental courses has increased from 35.4% in 2006 to 40.3% in 2011. Successful completion of gateway courses has increased from 46.9% in 2006 to 54.8% in 2011. These improvements are associated with several strategies to address the variety of math students' needs including: changes in placement criteria, altering instructional methods, and providing more support both in and outside the classroom. These interventions have been scaled to reach 75% of the developmental and gateway math students.
- University of Hawai'i Community Colleges increased the successful completion of first-time developmental math students in their first year from 53.8% in 2007 to 59.8% in 2010. The colleges increased the same rate for Native Hawaiian students from 48.4% in 2007 to 58.9% in 2010, effectively closing the achievement gap between Native Hawaiian students and their peers in this measurement. This increase is associated with redesigned developmental math.
And the following are results from the colleges that earned the Leader College distinction in 2011:
- Aiken Technical College (Aiken County, SC)
Increased success rates in Math 031 (lowest level of Developmental Math) from 54% in 2007 to 69% in 2010. This improvement is associated with the Lecture/Lab Prescriptive Remediation that has been scaled to reach almost 40% of developmental students.

Ryan Tunnicliffe is determined to push on and continue his progress at United after making his senior bow on the DHL tour.
The 19-year-old is the only member of the FA Youth Cup-winning central midfield trio forcing his way into Sir Alex Ferguson's plans with Ravel Morrison and Paul Pogba having left the club, and he feels there is the opportunity to achieve his childhood dream and become a first-team regular in the future.
After opening the scoring in the Manchester United XI's 6-2 win at Market Drayton on Wednesday, the tenacious midfielder will be striving to keep himself in Sir Alex's thoughts as the season progresses and aim for making a competitive debut at some stage.
When asked by Inside United if he felt any additional pressure flying the flag for the 2011 Youth Cup triumvirate, he replied: "On the other hand, they were good players playing in my position so one of us might have made it and another one might have not.
"So with them gone, it does open it up for me in a way but, obviously, I was close to them. We were midfield partners and good friends. I was sad to see Paul go and I do think he was a great player and could have made it here as well. But another door opens and it goes both ways."
With the likes of Ji-sung Park and Darron Gibson also departing this year, it was suggested to Tunnicliffe that the path to a midfield place may start becoming clearer from his perspective.

I hope… I wish… If only… These words often have a tinge of despair attached to them. They are said very positively while all too often thinking "but it's not likely to happen anytime soon for me." Have you heard the saying "You are what you think."? The rest of that Buddha quote is "And with your thoughts you make the world." This is pure Law of Attraction. You get what you focus on.
Recently I was on a shuttle to the airport with two men I didn't know. One was very concerned he was going to miss his flight as he was running late. I told him to be positive, to know he would make the flight. He agreed and then said "but just in case, I'll get my confirmation pulled up on my phone to re-book." The other man and I laughed and told him he wasn't being positive. Being positive means eliminating the doubt; not giving room for the "in case", "what if" or "probably not" to slip in and settle in your thoughts. When the doubt creeps in, it defeats the positive outcome you want. Then when the positive doesn't materialize, you acknowledge it with the thought "I knew it wouldn't really happen." Be honest, you were thinking that all along.
I challenge you to a week, a day, an hour of positive, supportive thoughts and words. Silence the negative, silence the doubt. Be aware how often you allow the words you think and say to sabotage you, rather than support you!

Loves the outdoors
I've just updated a GSP thread on my toe issue. I've had to visit the Dr again today as my big toe is still looking terrible. I've been running on it the whole time, but when it was really painful I cut 2 days of my runs very short. Now my Doctor has again suggested I give my toe 3-4 days off and not run at all. But I'm at day 233 of my streak! You will understand my dilemma! It no longer really hurts when I run (although it has now been sliced open, so that may have changed I suppose), so I would prefer to just keep going. Any thoughts?
Tough call but since we don't know what it looks like I would say listen to the doctor.
But then again I am stupid and probably would keep running just a mile. Feel better!
It is a tough call. Before taking time off completely I would probably do a full week of just a mile each day to see if that helps. And when not running do whatever the doctor told you to do to heal it up.
I couldn't stop, but I did run less. My toe actually looks heaps better today so I believe I'm on the mend!

A tip for those who would want to sell stolen property by using Craigslist: Don't. FOX 5 cameras were there as Atlanta Police arrested a man they say tried to do just that this week.Investigators say Terry Legge stolen a motorcycle and posted it as being for sale on the classifieds website Craigslist. The vigilant former owner saw the posting and alerted police.When Legge brought the stolen motorcycle to a gas station parking lot off North Highland Avenue with the intent to sell it, he was instead met by Atlanta Police detectives. They say the VIN matched that of the stolen motorcycle.Legge was booked into the Fulton County Jail on charges of Theft by Receiving Stolen Property as well as traffic charges due to an improper and expired license as well as expired insurance. He was released on a $2,900 signature bond.Detectives say they are now looking into if Legge may be connected to similar criminal Craigslist transactions.

Satay-Style Butternut Noodles
Submitted by pathlesstrodden on March 13, 2011 - 5:21am
Two generous portions
This is the first dish I ever made with my spiralizer. I had high hopes for the experiment and boy, it delivered!
This dish is a winner on so many levels. I looks great, tastes fabulous and the noodle texture is incredibly satisfying; it really does feel like a cooked meal. It's such a fun dish to share. If you decide to include some nuts, like my suggested cashews, it can easily be a filling, satisfying and incredibly healthy main meal.
I'd certainly recommend it if you want to create a special raw celebration dish, fancy treating yourself to something a bit more special one evening, or if you want to impress non-raw friends.

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) - After years of repeated deployments, the 101st Airborne Division is returning to the training that makes it unique as the military's only helicopter-based air assault division.
In both Iraq and Afghanistan, the division used air assault techniques that combine helicopters and ground-based forces to move quickly.
But due to the division's heavy deployment rotation and turnover in the forces, only about 40 percent of the division's soldiers on average have gone through the air assault school, said Capt. James Prisock, the school's commander.
Now the division's commanding general wants at least 70 percent of his troops to complete the tough 10-day course. It teaches skills such as rappelling, carrying heavy equipment by helicopter and a style of descent called "fast-roping" where soldiers slide down a line like a fire pole.

A crowd of 250 packed a Connetquot Public Library event room Sunday afternoon as a four-person band playing a total of 10 different instruments flooded it with upbeat sounds.
It was only the last weekend in February, but the New Jersey-based Willie Lynch Band was kicking off St. Patrick's Day for the Bohemia community.
The Irish band's founder Willie Lynch, 66, of Whitehouse Station, N.J., said the band was happy to have an occasion to debut at the library.

SOCIAL: @NewsdayTowns | Google+
"This is our first time performing at the library and we are very excited to be here for the kick off for St. Patrick's Day," he said. "It took us two and a half hours to drive from New Jersey and we are happy to perform here today."
The band performed for about an hour and a half, dressed in green and playing Irish tunes including "Irish Molly" and "Irish Rover."
Longtime Willie Lynch fans as well as first-time listeners filled the audience.
Peggy Sauve, 75, of Ridge, went on a cruise six years ago on which the band was performing and she instantly became a devoted fan.
Now, she drives with their CDs in her car and travels to New Jersey, where her sister lives, to see them play shows.
"My 70-year-old sister is an even bigger fan than I am," Sauve said. "She goes to all their shows in Jersey, she is a groupie."
The band, which has been together since the 1970s, features Lynch on the 12-string guitar, bass guitar, keyboards and singing lead vocals; Jimmy Cox, 59, of Bridgewater, N.J., playing guitar, mandolin and singing background vocals; Patrick Yorke, 55, of Edison, N.J., playing the accordion and singing background vocals; and Richard Perini, 72, of Hillsborough, N.J., playing saxophone, clarinet, keyboard, flute, tin whistle and singing background vocals.
As the crowd started to react to the music, clapping and tapping their feet from their seats, 71-year-old Anne Marie Hayes, of North Babylon, decided to get up and dance.
"The music is excellent," she said. "I enjoy dancing to it. I love all types of music – Irish, rock and even rap."
Annamarie Linguidi, 78, of Central Islip, agreed, adding that she thought Irish music was something everyone could enjoy.
"I am having a great time dancing," she said. "I wish I could have brought my granddaughter today but she is away at college. She would have loved this music just as much as I love it."
Lynch said he feels a sense of happiness when playing Irish music in front of an audience.
"Everyone is happy and people are jolly, always with a smile," he said. "The music gives you a jolly good feeling because it is upbeat."

We signed up for the "Adopt A Soldier" program for Thanksgiving at the nearest military base, which happens to be a multi-service facility. Many of our young military people are not able to go home for the holidays, so this is our way of giving them a little leisure, a little "family life," and a lot of home-cooked food!
As it turned out, we had six young men, whom we found were all Navy. After we got home, we learned that they were all "culinary specialists" -- Navy COOKS! NO, they did not do any cooking while with us. We told them they had the day off! They all agreed that the two things they wanted most were sleep and a home-cooked meal. They got both while they were with us! And filled plates to take back to base with them that evening!
We don't know yet if the USO office will do the same thing for Christmas, but if they do we will again be a part of it. And, if we are fortunate enough to share our Christmas with them, there will be some small gift for each of them under our tree. It is not the gift that counts, but the sharing. Sharing of our home, sharing of ourselves, and sharing of the real meaning of Christmas! Our way of giving each of them a "taste of home" when they can't get there in person. Irene
Hosting six Navy cooks for Thanksgiving – now that's a lot of pressure! But I bet those boys loved every minute of their "taste of home" while letting someone else do the cooking. What's your story? What are your plans for Christmas? Or tell me your goal(s) for the coming year? I'd love to hear from you today: email@example.com.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., fired back Thursday at a recent National Rifle Association television advertisement while touting a measure to increase gun buyer background checks in an ad of his own.
Using campaign funds, Manchin spent $100,000 to purchase airtime for the ad throughout the state for one week, according to a campaign aide. Manchin filmed the ad Monday on a farm in West Virginia, the aide said.
The 30-second advertisement shows various shots of Manchin walking through a field holding a rifle.
"I'm a lifetime NRA member, but I don't walk in lockstep with the NRA's Washington leadership, this administration or any special interest group," Manchin says, as the sound of someone racking ammunition into a gun is heard in the background.
"Call the NRA, and tell them to support criminal background checks," Manchin says to end the advertisement.
Last week the NRA unveiled an advertisement in West Virginia that told viewers to be concerned about Manchin working with President Barack Obama and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
That 30-second ad also cost $100,000 and aired statewide.
"Tell Senator Manchin to honor his commitment to the Second Amendment and reject the Obama-Bloomberg gun control agenda," a bodiless voice tells viewers in the NRA ad.
Earlier in the year Manchin and U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Penn., championed an amendment that called for increased background checks in certain cases for people buying guns online or at gun shows.
The amendment failed to achieve the 60 votes needed to pass, but Thursday Manchin said in an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that the measure isn't going away.
On the show he said he "truly believes" there are enough people in the Senate who want to see increased background checks. He said he thinks most members of the NRA nationwide also support the measure, but the organization's leadership is "misleading" its members.

Book a full day London bus tour beginning with a London hotel pickup. You will ride in the comfort of a deluxe coach. The tour is available daily year round.
Enjoy this private tour with your group away from the crowds. After your bus drives past some of Londons most famous landmarks including Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, you will arrive at the Tower of London where you will be met on the middle drawbridge by your very own Yeoman Warder. You will enter this world heritage site before it opens to the public and your Beefeater will take you on a private guided tour explaining the history behind this fortress of imprisonment and torture. You will be in the day's first group to view the Crown Jewels. You'll then have some free time to explore on your own. Take time to visit Traitors Gate, the armouries or the Bloody Tower, but always keep an eye out for the famous Ravens! Tradition has it that if the Ravens leave the Tower the monarch will fall!
Departing the Tower you'll next go to The Mall to watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony as one of the Queens Household Regiments march from St. James Palace to Buckingham Palace dressed in their world famous tunics and busbies. If the changing of the Guard is not taking place, you will still see Buckingham Palace and then visit the Horse Guards Parade.
A London tour is not complete without a River Thames cruise, so next you will take a short cruise on the River Thames to enjoy excellent views of St. Paul's Cathedral and Shakespeare"s Globe before heading for a traditional pub lunch in Whitehall (not included in tour price). The pub is close to Downing Street, the residence of the Prime Minister. After lunch, you will have a photo stop at Westminster Abbey.
The afternoon part of the tour will begin with a visit to St Paul's Cathedral to explore the masterpiece designed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1673 with a professional guide, taking time to listen to the 1695 organ that Mendelssohn once played. You will also visit the tombs of Nelson and Wellington and you will have the chance to test the unique acoustics of the Whispering Gallery (not normally visited by other tour groups.). On Sundays when there is restricted viewing at the Cathedral, there will be an opportunity to enter and enjoy one of the services.
Finally, the day will end on a very high note with a ride on the London Eye. Standing an amazing 442 feet above the center of London, the London Eye is the world's highest observation wheel and offers magnificent views. On a clear day, it is even possible to see as far as Windsor Castle

condition in which one human being was owned by another. A slave was considered by law as property, or chattel, and was deprived of most of the rights ordinarily held by free persons.
There is no consensus on what a slave was or on how the institution of slavery should be defined. Nevertheless, there is general agreement among historians, anthropologists, economists, sociologists, and others who study slavery that most of the following characteristics should be present in order to term a person a slave. The slave was a species of property; thus, he belonged to someone else. In some societies slaves were considered movable property, in others immovable property, like real estate. They were objects of the law, not its subjects. Thus, like an ox or an ax, the slave was not ordinarily held responsible for what he did. He was not personally liable for torts or contracts. The slave usually had few rights and always fewer than his owner, but there were not many societies in which he had absolutely none. As there are limits in most societies on the extent to which animals may be abused, so there were limits in most societies on how much a slave could be abused. The slave was removed from lines of natal descent. Legally, and often socially, he had no kin. No relatives could stand up for his rights or get vengeance for him. As an outsider, marginal individual, or socially dead person in the society where he was enslaved, his rights to participate in political decision making and other social activities were fewer than those enjoyed by his owner. The product of a slave's labour could be claimed by someone else, who also frequently had the right to control his physical reproduction.
Slavery was a form of dependent labour performed by a nonfamily member. The slave was deprived of personal liberty and the right to move about geographically as he desired. There were likely to be limits on his capacity to make choices with regard to his occupation and sexual partners as well. Slavery was usually, but not always, involuntary. If not all of these characterizations in their most restrictive forms applied to a slave, the slave regime in that place is likely to be characterized as mild; if almost all of them did, then it ordinarily would be characterized as severe.
Slaves were generated in many ways. Probably the most frequent was capture in war, either by design, as a form of incentive to warriors, or as an accidental by-product, as a way of disposing of enemy troops or civilians. Others were kidnapped on slave-raiding or piracy expeditions. Many slaves were the offspring of slaves. Some people were enslaved as a punishment for crime or debt, others were sold into slavery by their parents, other relatives, or even spouses, sometimes to satisfy debts, sometimes to escape starvation. A variant on the selling of children was the exposure, either real or fictitious, of unwanted children, who were then rescued by others and made slaves. Another source of slavery was self-sale, undertaken sometimes to obtain an elite position, sometimes to escape destitution.
Slavery existed in a large number of past societies whose general characteristics are well known. It was rare among primitive peoples, such as the hunter-gatherer societies, because for slavery to flourish, social differentiation or stratification was essential. Also essential was an economic surplus, for slaves were often consumption goods who themselves had to be maintained rather than productive assets who generated income for their owner. Surplus was also essential in slave systems where the owners expected economic gain from slave ownership.
Ordinarily there had to be a perceived labour shortage, for otherwise it is unlikely that most people would bother to acquire or to keep slaves. Free land, and more generally, open resources, were often a prerequisite for slavery; in most cases where there were no open resources, non-slaves could be found who would fulfill the same social functions at lower cost. Last, some centralized governmental institutions willing to enforce slave laws had to exist, or else the property aspects of slavery were likely to be chimerical. Most of these conditions had to be present in order for slavery to exist in a society; if they all were, until the abolition movement of the 19th century swept throughout most of the world, it was almost certain that slavery would be present. Although slavery existed almost everywhere, it seems to have been especially important in the development of two of the world's major civilizations, Western (including ancient Greece and Rome) and Islamic.
There have been two basic types of slavery throughout recorded history. The most common has been what is called household, patriarchal, or domestic slavery. Although domestic slaves occasionally worked outside the household, for example, in haying or harvesting, their primary function was that of menials who served their owners in their homes or wherever else the owners might be, such as in military service. Slaves often were a consumption-oriented status symbol for their owners, who in many societies spent much of their surplus on slaves. Household slaves sometimes merged in varying degrees with the families of their owners, so that boys became adopted sons or women became concubines or wives who gave birth to heirs. Temple slavery, state slavery, and military slavery were relatively rare and distinct from domestic slavery, but in a very broad outline they can be categorized as the household slaves of a temple or the state.
The other major type of slavery was productive slavery. It was relatively infrequent and occurred primarily in Classical Athenian Greece and Rome and in the post-Columbian circum-Caribbean New World. It also was found in 9th-century Iraq, among the Kwakiutl Indians of the American Northwest, and in a few areas of sub-Saharan Africa in the 19th century. Although slaves also were employed in the household, slavery in all of those societies seems to have existed predominantly to produce marketable commodities in mines or on plantations.
A major theoretical issue is the relationship between productive slavery and the status of a society as a slave or a slave-owning society. In a slave society, slaves composed a significant portion (at least 2030 percent) of the total population, and much of that society's energies were mobilized toward getting and keeping slaves. In addition the institution of slavery had a significant impact on the society's institutions, such as the family, and on its social thought, law, and economy. It seems clear that it was quite possible for a slave society to exist without productive slavery; the known historical examples were concentrated in Africa and Asia. It is also clear that most of the slave societies have been concentrated in Western (including Greece and Rome) and Islamic civilizations. In a slave-owning society, slaves were present but in smaller numbers, and they were much less the focus of the society's energies.
Slavery was a species of dependent labour differentiated from other forms primarily by the fact that in any society it was the most degrading and most severe. Slavery was the prototype of a relationship defined by domination and power. But throughout the centuries man has invented other forms of dependent labour besides slavery, including serfdom, indentured labour, and peonage. The term serfdom is much overused, often where it is not appropriate (always as an appellation of opprobrium). In the past a serf usually was an agriculturalist, whereas, depending upon the society, a slave could be employed in almost any occupation. Canonically, serfdom was the dependent condition of much of the western and central European peasantry from the time of the decline of the Roman Empire until the era of the French Revolution. This included a second enserfment that swept over central and some of eastern Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries. Russia did not know the first enserfment; serfdom began there gradually in the mid-15th century, was completed by 1649, and lasted until 1906. Whether the term serfdom appropriately describes the condition of the peasantry in other contexts is a matter of vigorous contention. Be that as it may, the serf was also distinguished from the slave by the fact that he was usually the subject of the lawi.e., he had some rights, whereas the slave, the object of the law, had significantly fewer rights. The serf, moreover, was usually bound to the land (the most significant exception was the Russian serf between about 1700 and 1861), whereas the slave was always bound to his owner; i.e., he had to live where his owner told him to, and he often could be sold by his owner at any time. The serf usually owned his means of production (grain, livestock, implements) except the land, whereas the slave owned nothing, often not even the clothes on his back. The serf's right to marry off his lord's estate often was restricted, but the master's interference in his reproductive and family life ordinarily was much less than was the case for the slave. Serfs could be called upon by the state to pay taxes, to perform corvée labour on roads, and to serve in the army, but slaves usually were exempt from all of those obligations.
A person became an indentured servant by borrowing money and then voluntarily agreeing to work off the debt during a specified term. In some societies indentured servants probably differed little from debt slaves (i.e., persons who initially were unable to pay off obligations and thus were forced to work them off at an amount per year specified by law). Debt slaves, however, were regarded as criminals (essentially thieves) and thus liable to harsher treatment. Perhaps as many as half of all the white settlers in North America were indentured servants, who agreed to work for someone (the purchaser of the indenture) upon arrival to pay for their passage. Some indentured servants alleged that they were treated worse than slaves; the economic logic of the situation was that slave owners thought of their slaves as a long-term investment whose value would drop if maltreated, whereas the short-term (typically four years) indentured servants could be abused almost to death because their masters had only a brief interest in them. Practices varied, but indenture contracts sometimes specified that the servants were to be set free with a sum of money, sometimes a plot of land, perhaps even a spouse, whereas for manumitted slaves the terms usually depended more on the generosity of the owner.
Peons were either persons forced to work off debts or criminals. Peons, who were the Latin American variant of debt slaves, were forced to work for their creditors to pay off what they owed. They tended to merge with felons because people in both categories were considered criminals, and that was especially true in societies where money fines were the main sanction and form of restitution for crimes. Thus, the felon who could not pay his fine was an insolvent debtor. The debt peon had to work for his creditor, and the labour of the criminal peon was sold by the state to a third party. Peons had even less recourse to the law for bad treatment than did indentured servants, and the terms of manumission for the former typically were less favourable than for the latter.

Music and politics
I thought I had bought tickets to a concert but was shocked to realize the concert was a front for a political rally staged by the "Far Right". A concert that I pay my money to attend should have been about music not politics. There's a place for politics just not at a concert.

Posted March 22, 2012
I understand the previous reviewer's comments about this product if it is being used as anything but a finely graduated layout rule. It is thin and flexible and could easily be bent. The crossbar is quite difficult to move and it also is thin so it could cut into or bruise your fingers. In my case, I measure to 1/64th of an inch in my layouts and a thin rule like this one is absolutely necessary to avoid parallax errors. When I do layouts, the gradations are clear and sharp under my 3X magnifiers and I appreciate the dark black color of the markings - unlike some that are gray or are engraved but not over-painted to make them stand out. As far as the stiff crossbar movement, it is a big benefit if I set it and then don't have to worry about it moving when I use the rule at three or four places along the length of a piece of stock to get an accurate width line for ripping or routing. I avoid finger pain or bruises when setting the crossbar by using a paper towel or wearing some thin cotton gloves. All-in-all, for layout work it can't be beat at the price. I also have a 12" version and I'm using both of them just about every day. Now if Rockler would just start stocking some 3H or harder pencils so I could avoid trips to some other store.

The metal rule is thin and flimsy, be careful or you will bend it. The slide does not work very well and because it is so thin, it bites into your fingers if you try to push or pull it into place.Hopefully yours will work better than the one that I got. Made in China.
