First off, I want to send a bit of an apology to mobile users. I don't know how it is on Windows phones, Androids, or Blackberries, but I noticed midway through this project that the videos don't show up for iPhone users when they're embedded. I should have done hyperlinks as well throughout. Sorry that 3 weeks worth of content was mostly invisible to you guys.
When I started this project, I didn't know if I would find anything interesting, but I think I have. From Plekanec to Eller, we've looked at 135 goals in the last couple of weeks. Before we do anything with the individuals, let's look at how the totals broke down:
Goals | Goals on zone plays | Goals off the rush | Goals on individual plays |
135 | 64 | 71 | 46 |
- 34.1% of the goals scored by these six players were individual efforts.
- 52.6% of the goals were scored off the rush.
- Because I've only looked at 6 players on one team, I'm not sure how indicative this is of the Canadiens overall scoring, however just going off of memory (flawed I know), I think this split is indicative of how the Canadiens scored overall last season.
- Only looking at the Canadiens, it's tough to say whether other teams would have similar splits, however due to a struggling powerplay all season, I would be willing to wager that most teams score more goals on zone plays than off the rush.
- Eric T over at Broad Street Hockey and NHL Numbers has theorized that gaining the zone with possession is extremely important to scoring, which may be why the zone play scoring was down last year, as Randy Cunneyworth preferred the chip and chase method.
- This may be proven wrong in the future, but I don't think goals off the rush are as reliant on systems of zone entries because they're usually on odd-man rushes or breakaways. Basically on most of those goals, you're guaranteed an easy zone entry.
So let's get back to the individual players. How did they break down? The leader in each category has been bolded and italicized.
Player | Goals | Goals on zone plays | Goals off the rush | Goals on individual efforts |
Erik Cole | 35 | 19 | 16 | 11 |
Max Pacioretty | 33 | 14 | 19 | 9 |
Tomas Plekanec | 17 | 7 | 10 | 9 |
Lars Eller | 16 | 8 | 8 | 8 |
David Desharnais | 16 | 9 | 7 | 5 |
Rene Bourque | 18 | 7 | 11 | 4 |
- Unsurprisingly, Cole or Pacioretty lead in every category. They did score a lot more than everyone else, Pacioretty with a 15 goal lead on Bourque.
- Tomas Plekanec was actually the least successful center in the group on zone plays. This is especially surprising since he had as many powerplay goals as Desharnais and Eller combined [5]. This could be due to a variety of reasons, but because of the extreme split in his zone play goals from the first to second half, I'm inclined to believe that strength of competition with weak linemates is a major factor. I fully expect Plekanec to score on zone plays more often next year, somewhere in the 9-12 range.
- Everyone remembers all the times Cole barreled down the right wing to score a beauty, but Pacioretty is actually the Habs' most dangerous shooter off the rush.
- Desharnais is the least dangerous scorer off the rush in this study, however he is by no means not a danger off the rush. DD is a pass first kind of guy, and he left his footprints all over Pacioretty and Cole's goals last season. As I mentioned before, going over these goals, I have a new found respect for his hockey sense, it's unreal.
- Eller had a similar talent gap between him and his wings to what Plekanec had, but he was even across the board. What's surprising though, is that even though he's not a big time scorer yet, he scored a lot of individual goals. Only Plekanec had a higher percentage of his goals on individual plays. This breakdown seems to justify what EOTP has been saying for months, get this guy some linemates.
- Bourque is an interesting player. He is quite clearly not an individual talent, but given good linemates he can score a lot. I don't think 20 goals is out of the question for him to hit again, and he could gust up to 25 if he's on a line with Desharnais and Cole in an exploitation role. I'm not sure what he can put up for assists, but he can put the puck in the net. He could be a useful player in the right scenario.
- This is by no means a proven statement because this study is so limited, but it seems to me that even very good goal scorers, guys who can push 35 goals, can't do it all on their own too much more than 10 times a season. The competitiveness of the NHL just doesn't allow for that many opportunities. With that said, I'm doubly impressed with how often Eller scored on his own merit.
- I wonder now how many individual goals a player like Sidney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin or Steven Stamkos scores.
- Due to the fairly consistent range of 8-11 individual goals among good goal scorers (I think anyone who can consistently push for 20 goals is a good goal scorer), I'm inclined to believe that this number doesn't fluctuate too much, and it's the team based goals that fluctuate wildly from season to season. Olivier Bouchard is going to be adding these definitions to his scoring chance counts next season, so we may have the answer to that soon. I may also revisit older seasons and publish the results.
- It's important to note that I don't think scoring on the rush or on a zone play is any better or worse than the opposite, a goal counts either way. I would be interested to know however, which number is more sustainable over multiple seasons.
Now that we've broken down each goal scoring play, I figure just for fun, let's see what kind of shot each player uses to score most often. I figure we can safely break each goal down as either a wrist shot, slap shot, snap shot, backhand, or tip/deflection. I'll also note that a goalmouth scramble where a wild stab at the puck causes a goal will be called a tip/deflection. One timers will be listed in the slap shot column in [square brackets]. Leaders in each category will once again be bolded and italicized.
Player | Goals | Wrist | Slap | Snap | Tip | Backhand |
Cole | 35 | 9 | 3 [6] | 8 | 11 | 4 |
Pacioretty | 33 | 14 | 0 [6] | 11 | 4 | 4 |
Bourque | 18 | 8 | 2 [3] | 4 | 4 | 0 |
Plekanec | 17 | 5 | 3 [1] | 4 | 2 | 3 |
Eller | 16 | 7 | 1 [2] | 4 | 2 | 2 |
Desharnais | 16 | 7 | 0 [0] | 2 | 5 | 2 |
- I know it looks like I'm contradicting myself in saying Pacioretty scored zero goals on slap shots but had one-timer goals, but all 6 one-timers were on snap shots. Same thing goes for the disparity in other's numbers. For whatever reason, Pacioretty doesn't use slap shots. Or if he does, he doesn't score with them. Odd but true.
- Cole had a bunch of tips, but many of those were him batting pucks in at the goal mouth. When Cole was struggling to score at the beginning of the year, he did the right thing and just drove the net constantly. 9 of his first 19 goals were tips, deflections or swats at loose pucks.
- Desharnais surprises people constantly, and here's another one. 5 tips? This little guy goes to the net. He's always there getting his nose dirty. I'm still skeptical that Desharnais can repeat last season as far as point production goes, but you can't say he didn't earn it.
- Once again the leaders in every category are either Cole or Pacioretty, although Plekanec tied Cole in slap shot goals.
- Every single player preferentially scored by wrist shots.
- Plekanec was a heck of a versatile scorer, with numbers close across the board. He also scored on fewer wrist shots than anyone else, maybe his wrister is a bit weak?
- Eller's 2 one-timer goals were in the same game, his 4 goal game against Winnipeg.
- Judging by results, Eller and Plekanec play a similar positioning scenario in the offensive zone, neither goes to the net a ton, preferring to control the puck further out.
- Eller has a much better wrist shot than Desharnais, but little Davey gets himself into better scoring position, so they come out even.
Since we've come this far, why don't we look at how the goals break down when we add all 6 of these guys together.
Goals | Wrist Shots | Slap Shots | Snap Shots | Tips/Deflections | Backhand Shots |
135 | 50 | 9 | 33 | 28 | 15 |
- Kinda shocking isn't it? 9 out of 135 goals were scored on slap shots. Nine! That's just 6.7%. The slap shot gets huge velocity, but in the end it's just really inaccurate. My buddy Chris in Florida is probably sitting back and saying "damn right!", as he's always talking about how the slap shot is an overused tool. Not that many goals are scored on slap shots in the NHL.
- More goals on backhands even than slap shots, and no one ever uses backhands anymore with curved sticks. Crazy.
- I suspect if we did this for defensemen, the slap shot goals would be a much higher percentage, but still not as high as you'd initially think.
- Lots of tips, deflections and goalmouth whacks that end up in the net. The old adage about going to the net and good things happen, it's true. Almost as likely to score as with a snap shot.
- The ultimate tool for scoring in the NHL is still the wrist shot. The combination of velocity (especially with those new composite sticks the kids are always talkin' about!) and accuracy is unmatched by any other shot. A good wrister can take you a long way in the NHL.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Hello,While mathematics is the quintessential coherent internally consistent abstract logical system, I like emphasizing its practical applications.I've tutored math at Wallenberg Traditional H.S., SFSU, HSU, CCSF, and also done voluntary tutoring. I tutored mostly in calculus, algebra, trigonometry, plane geometry, etc. I can also tutor in ordinary differential equations and basic chemistry.Additionally, I have a portfolio of mathematical proofs, and solved problems in advanced mathematileics I've worked out. Recently I completed all requirements for the BA in mathematics. I'll receive the BA in 2013. I have a great deal to offer students in the way of a good education in mathematics.I also like to mention, appropriately, some of the giants in mathematics, e.g., I. Newton, G.W. Leibniz, Leonhard Euler, and others. During the 20th century I consider Cassius J. Keyser to be one outstanding mathematician. While my tutoring will not focus on a history of mathematics, it is a good idea for students to have a sense of the origins and development of key mathematical concepts.I grew up in Palm Springs, California. I've lived in the Bay Area for about 15 years.Thank you,Tyrone

I'm proficient in all topics in algebra 1 & 2.I'm confident that I can tutor well in prealgebra, precalculus, and calculus. I'm very good with the TI-89 scientific graphing calculator, as well as with software like Mathematica, Maple 13, and MathType.
I'm thoroughly proficient in this subject.
I've tutored in calculus 1,2,& 3 before. I am confident that I will be able to help students understand calculus from the ground up. I can explain differentiation by several methods, as well as prove the basic formulas for differentiating typical functions. I'm also good at integration. I feel confident that I can get students to become proficient at integration by substitution methods, partial fractions, change of limits theorem, etc. Moreover, I can also teach students how to solve triple integrals...

Algebra is a generalization of arithmetic. I will have no problem in getting willing and able students to understand prealgebra. I'm considering writing a text on prealgebra, emphasizing aspects that conventional texts overlook.
I am confident that I will have students prepared for calculus after tutoring them in precalculus. I would stress the importance of understanding analytic geometry, the equations for the slope of a line, proficiency in algebra and trig., etc. Understanding the binomial theorem, mathematical induction, and the concept of the limit of a function are also critically important. While I stress being able to solve problems manually, I realize that to save time one has to resort to artificial... Read More
I would correlate trig. somewhat with plane geometry. In my opinion, trig. is easier than plane geometry. Learning plane and solid geometry is good training in critical thinking, doing proofs, and is very good preparation for trig., as well as calculus.
I'll have most students prepared for the SAT math test. I'm sure that after tutoring them their score on the SAT will improve. Of course, I'm referring to students willing to study hard and pay attention to my instructions.
My proficiency in calculus, differential equations, and other areas of advanced mathematics imply my proficiency in elementary math.

Make Your Own Sports Drink, the Natural Way
A person who burns about 2,000 calories should get about 8-12 cups of fluid per day. That may sound like a lot to drink, but it doesn't all have to come from drinking water. Keep slices of watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe, and other such water-packed fruits in the refrigerator. They're excellent sources of water, sugar, and electrolytes and the perfect "grab and go" refresher on a hot summer's day.
Using natural fruit juices adds both natural sugars and vitamins to your sports drink. Adding sea salt instead of table salt adds an electrolyte source as the minerals of the sea are very similar to the electrolyte composition in our blood. Sea salt contains 84 minerals including sodium, potassium, iodine, magnesium, calcium, zinc and manganese, and it helps to replenish the minerals you lose through perspiration.

African Series Introduction
Volume IX: June 1921--December 1922
The present volume, the second of three devoted to documenting the development and activities of Marcus Garvey's "Africa for the Africans" movement in Africa, covers the period from 23 June 1921 through December 1922. These eighteen months witnessed the continued expansion of support for the movement throughout sub-Saharan Africa, as well as the crucial phase in the attempts by colonial regimes and their metropolitan sponsors to repress the movement's influence, which was perceived as a threat to the maintenance of colonial rule. This period also saw the rise of increased African opposition to Garvey and the program of his Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) as well as an intensification of the debate concerning the role of African Americans in the emancipation of Africa.
The volume opens with an announcement by W. E. B. Du Bois of the forthcoming Second Pan-African Congress. In addition to informing Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes of the meetings scheduled to take place in London, Brussels, and Paris in August and September 1921, Du Bois made a point of assuring Hughes that the Pan-African Congress "has nothing to do with the so called Garvey movement and contemplates neither force nor revolution in its program." Du Bois's attempt to differentiate the Congress from Garvey's UNIA would be only partially successful. Official colonial correspondence and numerous published reports in the metropolitan and colonial press chronicle European apprehensions regarding the upcoming Second Pan-African Congress; both Europeans and Africans thought that Garvey was involved in organizing the event, which occurred at the same time as the UNIA's second international convention in New York.
The Du Bois--Garvey conflict and its effect on African opinion represent one of the principal themes of the present volume, which shifts the focus from the historiographical preoccupation with the domestic differences between these two men to the international ramifications of their rivalry in Africa and Europe. In addition to the intensification of ideological competition between the two leaders for the allegiance of Africans, the convening of the Second Pan-African Congress also stimulated dissenting conservative voices, most notably those of the European-based Archibald Johnson and Bishop Charles S. Smith of the AME.
Reports in the African press as well as in Garvey's Negro World also reflect the broad range of opinions and reactions to Du Bois and the Pan-African Congress. Garvey condemned the congress for allegedly collaborating with colonial officials in attempting to blunt the appeal of his own message of African redemption. In his August 1921 convention speech, Garvey denounced Du Bois's congress for harboring the goal of "social equality" (a euphemism for miscegenation) and claimed that his enemies "will have to come better than a pan-African congress to defeat the objects of the UNIA." At the same convention, Garvey proposed the formation of an international political movement to be called the African Party.
The rivalry between Garvey and Du Bois would also implicate Blaise Diagne, the Senegalese deputy and president of the Pan-African Congress, who had strongly opposed Du Bois's stand condemning European colonialism in Africa. Diagne's denunciation of Garvey also intensified anti-Diagne sentiment among younger French African nationalists, who were opposed to the idea of French tutelage and were thus attracted to Garvey's militant brand of nationalism. And, in a larger sense, the Garvey--Du Bois--Diagne conflict exemplifies the major theme of the African Series, namely, the complex relation of Garveyism to the emergence and articulation of African nationalism not only in sub-Saharan Africa but also in America and the European colonial metropoles.
The documents presented in the current volume also provide an extremely detailed firsthand account of the evolution and disintegration of the UNIA's 1921 Liberian development project. At the time of the highly critical 24 June 1921 report to Garvey by the organization's resident secretary in Liberia, Cyril Crichlow, Garvey had still not been allowed to return to the U.S. from his tour of the Caribbean and Central America, a trip he had undertaken in February 1921 to push the sale of Liberia Construction Loan bonds. He was finally able to return to the U.S. in early July. Crichlow's report indicates the author's gradual disenchantment with Garvey as well as with the UNIA's capacity to sustain its Liberian development project. His disillusion resulted not only from the failure of the UNIA to live up to its commitments but also, in large measure, from the hostility that he encountered on the part of Gabriel Johnson, the UNIA's potentate and mayor of Monrovia. The stormy relationship between Crichlow, on the one hand, and Johnson and George O. Marke, the UNIA's deputy supreme potentate, on the other, undercut all attempts to continue courting the Liberian government. Upon his return to the U.S., Crichlow would publish an extensive exposé denouncing the UNIA and its entire Liberian program in the December 1921 issue of the Crusader, official organ of the African Blood Brotherhood.
The documents record the souring of the UNIA's official relationship with the Liberian regime as well. This was publicly confirmed in a statement prepared for visiting president C. D. B. King of Liberia by Du Bois and published in the June 1921 Crisis. Disavowing the "aggressive" aims of the UNIA, King attempted to distance his government from any taint of involvement with Garvey at a time when he and the Liberian plenary commission were in America seeking to renegotiate the U.S.-Liberian loan. The U.S. Congress eventually disapproved the loan, despite the recommendation of President Warren G. Harding.
In contrast with the troubles that engulfed the UNIA in Liberia, the present volume chronicles its establishment in Accra, Gold Coast, and its activities in Freetown, Sierra Leone, and Lagos, Nigeria. Most significantly, the volume also documents the extraordinary growth in the UNIA's following in South West Africa, after Fitz Herbert Headly, president of the UNIA division in Lüderitz, traveled to Windhoek to "further the cause in the interior." As word of its presence spread among the Herero and Ovambo peoples, the UNIA was appropriated by Africans as a means of presenting their many grievances against their former German colonizers and the exploitative South African regime that replaced it following World War I. In a January 1922 letter, Headly thanked a Herero headman for his hospitality, asserting that only through the UNIA "can we regain our national manhood." In January 1922 the Windhoek UNIA division was strong enough to petition the town council for permission to erect its own meeting hall, though permission was denied; later that year, the Lüderitz UNIA division actually reported having 871 dues-paying members. The present volume thereby shows the importance in South West Africa of the Garvey movement, which supplied the ideological framework for the emergence of subsequent Namibian nationalism.
Garvey's "Africa for the Africans" message in South Africa continued to spread during this period; it continued despite the fracturing of relations between Garvey's followers and ICU leaders Clements Kadalie and S. M. B. Ncwana, editor of the Cape Town Black Man. In America, M. Mokete Manoedi ("a Native of Basutoland") lent his name to a political broadside (Garvey and Africa) that sought to discredit the UNIA leader in the eyes of Africans and probably was actually written by Garvey's nemesis, Cyril V. Briggs, a Communist party theoretician and head of the African Blood Brotherhood. A copy was made available by the putative author in September 1922 to British secretary of state for the colonies Winston Churchill.
Meanwhile, South Africa's large urban concentrations of literate Africans and a vibrant working class afforded fertile ground for Garvey's propaganda as well as material support for several local UNIA divisions. The establishment in New York, in September 1921, of the African Orthodox Church (AOC) by UNIA chaplain general Rev. George Alexander McGuire would expand Garvey's identification with the "Africa for the Africans" movement by providing a linkage to African churches spawned by the AOC in South Africa, Southern Rhodesia, and East Africa.
A major component of the present volume is the record of French suppression of the Garveyite presence in Senegal, primarily but not exclusively among English-speaking Africans from neighboring Sierra Leone. Following the accidental discovery of a registered-letter receipt with the address of the UNIA's headquarters in New York, colonial officials launched wide-scale police searches and investigations that resulted in the detention of several UNIA supporters in Dakar and Rufisque and their eventual expulsion from Senegal. The French, however, were never able to apprehend the UNIA's elusive traveling commissioner, John Kamara, whose presence in Dakar and other parts of West Africa was confirmed by documents seized in the raids. Remaining UNIA activists in Senegal were thereafter kept under close police surveillance. French customs officials also reported discovering a bundle of Negro World issues addressed to Armand Angrand, a municipal councillor in Gorée, Senegal, whom the government believed to have been in correspondence with Garvey.
Colonial police surveillance of Garveyism was a constant component of the movement's history. The Negro World was banned in French West Africa in January, in Nyasaland in March, in Nigeria in June, in the Gambia in September, and in the Gold Coast in December 1922. In the Belgian Congo, an official ordinance gave the colonial government the power to refuse entry to foreigners. South African and South West African police conducted extensive surveillance of Garveyite activities. In Kenya, colonial officials and police investigators sought to establish the existence of a connection between the UNIA and Joswa Kamulegeya of the Young Baganda Association. Police in Freetown interrogated a UNIA deportee from Senegal to ascertain the nature of the material confiscated in Dakar.
In addition, colonial regimes often identified African opposition to colonial rule with supposed Garveyite influence. Political repression was swift and oftentimes violent. In October 1921 the prophet Simon Kimbangu was condemned to death in the Belgian Congo, the sentence being later commuted to life imprisonment. In February 1922 the Portuguese violently suppressed the Catete revolt in Luanda, Angola, also banning the Liga Angolana and all publications expressing African grievances. In Kenya, two days after East African Association leader Harry Thuku's arrest in March 1922, police reacted to his calls for civil disobedience by shooting and killing at least twenty-one demonstrators in Nairobi. Garvey responded to the killings by calling a public meeting at Liberty Hall in Harlem and sending a cable to British prime minister David Lloyd George protesting the harsh treatment of Africans in Kenya. In May 1921, at an encampment at Bulhoek near Queenstown in the eastern Cape, over two hundred followers of the prophet leader Enoch Mgijima were massacred by the South African military. Mgijima was well informed and strongly supportive of Garvey's vision of "Africa for the Africans." One year later, South African forces brutally crushed the uprising of the Bondelswarts, a Nama-speaking people in South West Africa, described by colonial officials as "a very warlike and independent race with little respect for the European," employing air power for the first time in history to strafe civilian villages.
Whereas some colonial governments exaggerated the importance of Garveyism, others dismissed and diminished it; nonetheless, they all reacted in very similar ways, by banning the Negro World newspaper, deporting and expelling suspected UNIA adherents, arresting and imprisoning Africans associated in one way or another with the movement, and crushing any hint of insurrection in order to preserve respect for the sanctity of colonial rule. In documenting the colonialist response, the present volume underscores the unity of colonial interests in the suppression of African political movements. Colonialists tended to see the Garvey phenomenon as linked with every incident of African resistance, forming some kind of vast conspiracy. In some instances, Garveyism clearly played a role, as with Harry Thuku and the East African Association. In others, while it may have been involved, European apprehensions were clearly exaggerated. The Belgian colonial press, for example, was filled with reports of armed African Americans fomenting rebellion in the Belgian Congo. Officials, missionaries, and settlers believed that Garveyites as well as English Protestant missionaries were behind the Kimbangu movement (ngunzism). The volume ends with a December 1922 French intelligence report recounting how, largely in response to "pan-negro agitation" supposedly instigated by Garveyites, freedom of the press had been suppressed in the Belgian Congo, and stating the overall necessity to keep watch on Garveyism in Africa.
The present volume also documents the effect on African opinion of Garvey's indictment on mail-fraud charges in February 1922, in connection with the sale of stock in the Black Star Line. This allowed colonial officials to justify their claim that Garvey had used the UNIA to obtain money fraudulently from Africans. Garvey's arrest in the U.S. thus became an African event, resulting in the resignation of the Lagos UNIA division secretary Ernest Ikoli. Back in the U.S., a severely weakened Garvey was also forced to beat a strategic retreat. Following the dissolution of the Black Star Line Corporation in April 1922, Garvey modified the UNIA's previous militant stand by seeking external sources of support to buttress the organization's faltering resources, thereby diluting its appeal as the symbol of racial autonomy.
By early 1922, the question of Africa began to be subordinated to Garvey's search for white allies. The first intimation of this political shift came on 13 February 1922---two days before Garvey's indictment in New York---when Garvey publicly praised Mississippi state senator T. S. McCallum's resolution urging the U.S. Congress to acquire land in Africa for "the founding of a national home for the American Negro" as the solution to America's race problem. (The McCallum resolution was passed by the Mississippi state senate on 20 February 1922.) Garvey's African redemption program was thus realigned to coincide with the philosophy of the white American Colonization Society; this ideological shift was underscored by Garvey's 25 June meeting with Ku Klux Klan leader Edward Young Clarke in Atlanta, Georgia, a gesture reminiscent of the "Southernizing" strategy that conservative black politicians advocated after the collapse of Reconstruction in the late 1870s.
The same shift away from militant self-reliance and toward racial accommodation, with the consequent reduction of the rhetoric of racial oppression, was manifest in Garvey's outreach to European governments with colonies in Africa. In April 1922, Garvey embarked on a letter-writing campaign to invite European foreign ministries to send an official representative to the UNIA's third international convention scheduled for August. It was done in the belief, as Garvey stated in the letter addressed to the Italian government, that "the time is near when the Italian government and its subjects of the Negro race and Negrophiles must arrive at a friendly entente, i.e., at a basis for the formation of an equitable government," and with the hope of "obtaining the cooperation of the Italian Colonial Secretariat concerning the political betterment of those millions who are mute, and who are under Italian domination."
It would appear that the architect of this conciliatory international strategy was the redoubtable Egyptian publicist Dusé Mohamed Ali, former editor of the influential London-based African Times and Orient Review. Ali had moved from England to the U.S. in October 1921; after meeting with Garvey, he was appointed UNIA "foreign secretary" and head of the Negro World 's Africa section in February 1922. Ali's impact on the UNIA was immediate, his stock quickly rising in the eyes of colleagues in the organization's leadership to the point where it was predicted by a U.S. Bureau of Investigation informant, in March 1922, that Ali would soon take control of the organization. Ali also played an active role in sending invitations to several leading African figures, urging them to attend the UNIA's upcoming 1922 convention.
The capstone to these diplomatic initiatives was the UNIA's framing of a petition to the League of Nations in July 1922, requesting that the former German possessions in Africa be turned over to black people for development as a national homeland. In the petition, Garvey modified his previous stand by assuring the league that the UNIA was not seeking to establish a government over the whole of Africa; instead, the petition asked only that "certain sections of Africa" be turned over. Similarly, in contrast with Garvey's earlier condemnation of the league as the enforcer of Europe's repartition of Africa, the petition offered the league the UNIA's assistance "in enforcing its civilized program for the good of the entire human family." Garvey also dispatched an official UNIA delegation, headed by Deputy Potentate George O. Marke, to attend the meetings of the League of Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, in September 1922.
Finally, the present volume discloses the ominous flurry of correspondence and reports exchanged in late 1922 by Italian officials in New York and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, concerning the progress of Garveyism in the United States and Africa. These reports, which display keen insight into the significance of black nationalism, were written in the aftermath of the fascist seizure of power in Italy in October 1922. They reveal the genesis of Italian fascism's ultimate objective in Africa, which would become tragically clear with Italy's assumption of a "civilizing duty" in East Africa in 1934 and its invasion and conquest of Ethiopia in 1935--1936, a watershed event that was to have a profoundly revitalizing and radicalizing effect upon Pan-African political consciousness in Africa and America. The ascendancy of fascism, born of the upsurge of irridentist nationalism that followed in the wake of World War I, would have serious consequences both for European security and for Europe's colonial empires in Africa, which would not survive the African political reawakening and worldwide realignments that followed World War II.

The Washington Post has some enlightening historical reporting today on a series of Clinton Administration battles that left the market for derivatives unregulated, contributing mightily to the current crisis.
The story follows a New York Times piece we liked last week on Alan Greenspan's central role in allowing the financial system to head off the cliff. Brooksley E. Born, Clinton's head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission issued stark warnings on the threat of unregulated derivatives and tried to get something done. If she had succeeded it would certainly have moderated this crisis. But Greenspan and then-Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and Arthur Levitt of the SEC (and the Treasury's Larry Summers) battled her tooth and nail.
The Post gets inside a critical meeting in 1998 where Greenspan, Rubin, and Levitt shut down Born's plea for oversight, though she kept fighting an extraordinary intra-government battle with them.
Born didn't back off on derivatives, either. On May 7, 1998, two weeks after her April showdown at Treasury, the commission issued a "concept release" soliciting public comment on derivatives and their risk. The response was swift and blistering. Within hours, Greenspan, Rubin and Levitt cited their "grave concerns" in an unusual joint statement. Deputy Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers decried it before Congress as "casting a shadow of regulatory uncertainty over an otherwise thriving market."
The story shows that the regulation battle goes deeper than simple partisanship. Rubin Democrats were big deregulators (or non-regulators to be precise), too, though not nearly so much as the current Bush Administration. Rubin himself comes off looking terrible in the story, largely in his own words, which are insider-y and milquetoast:
Rubin, in an interview, said of Born's effort, "I do think it was a deterrent to moving forward. I thought it was counterproductive. If you want to move forward … you engage with parties in a constructive way. My recollection was, though I truly do not remember the specifics of the meeting, this was done in a more strident way"…Asked why he didn't suggest stricter capital requirements as an alternative in 1998, Rubin said, "There was no political reality of getting it done. We were so caught up with other issues that were so pressing… . the Asian financial crisis, the Brazilian financial crisis. We had a lot going on."
So Rubin says he was too busy and Born was too assertive to get oversight in place even though it was needed? Even after the notorious Long Term Capital Management meltdown threatened the entire system in 1999, he didn't do anything.
The battle left Born politically isolated. In April 1999, the President's Working Group issued a report on the lessons of Long Term Capital's meltdown, her last as part of the group. The report raised some alarm over excess leverage and the unknown risks of the derivative market, but called for only one legislative change — a recommendation that brokerages' unregulated affiliates be required to assess and report their financial risk to the government.Greenspan dissented on that recommendation.
Of course he did.
Former top McCain economic adviser Phil "Nation of Whiners" Gramm had a prominent role in this:
Throughout much of 2000, lobbyists were flying in and out of congressional offices. With Born gone, they saw an opportunity to settle the regulatory issue and perhaps gain even more. They had a sympathetic ear in Texas Sen. Phil Gramm, the influential Republican chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, and a sympathetic bill: the 2000 Commodity Futures Modernization Act.Gramm opened a June 21 hearing with a call for "regulatory relief"…
Gramm was holding out for stronger language that would bar both the CFTC and the SEC from meddling in the swaps market. Alarmed, SEC lawyers argued that the agency at least needed to retain its authority over fraud and insider trading. What if a trader, armed with inside knowledge, engaged in a swap on a stock? Treasury Undersecretary Gary Gensler brokered a compromise: The SEC would retain its antifraud authority but without any new rulemaking power.

So after trying out JellyBean for a few weeks.....
What's your verdict on it!? And please tell your experience with it so far.
Re: So after trying out JellyBean for a few weeks.....
Meh..... Still think it was way too overhyped and overanticipated. IMO... This should have been ICS incremental update LI5 and not Jellybean. Not enough changes to bring a name change.
I've been slammed for my stance on this before so this time I will explain myself better.
When you turn on your computer in the morning and wake to "There is a Windows update." Do you get all excited. Yeah, I didn't think so. That's pretty much how I feel about this update.
I think Google should have held off this update until 4.2 was ready and then released it as 4.1. - 11-10-2012, 02:02 PM #3

If you would rather have a os that releases New builds, that really have nothing in then other than bug fixes ios would live you as part of their team.
I'll sit over here with the rest of team android with upgrades that push our os further, along with fixing bugs.
I'll take any update big green will push out. I would hate having a stagnant os.

Re: So after trying out JellyBean for a few weeks.....
I guess this is not fair to ICS, but I waited to start flashing new ROMs (other than the std LI3 Freeza OTA Update) until JB was available. Now I have better battery times, amazing eye candy, bloatware removed, tons of new features like the N2 gallery, Google Now, TW with a 5x5 launcher, and a Rom Updater with new themes, toggles, mods, and additional Android 4.2 apps. Now my phone is smoking with Jelly Bean Goodness!

Friday, June 25th 9:00pm to 1:00am
Events like these don't come around often, so when we say RUN and get tickets, we don't say it lightly. Catch Babas├│nicos, Mexican Institute of Sound, Nacotheque, and D'Marquesina at this invitation-only exclusive event hosted by Heineken.
The stage will be jam-packed with talent but there will be plenty more on-site for you to enjoy. Aside from FREE food, FREE beer, and FREE music, you can also get a FREE guitar lesson from Fender, play bartender by taste testing some of Heineken's signature brews, and channel your inner child at the game area.
"Like" the page and then enter presale code INSPIRECHI to receive your exclusive invitation. Tickets are limited, so act fast. Wouldn't want you to miss out!
Argentinean alt-rockers Babas├│nicos are fresh off their largest tour to date promoting their ninth album Mucho, another example of the consummate band's future-funk, dance sound.
Camilo Lara's moonlighting gig as Mexican Institute of Sound (by day he's all corporate as president of EMI Mexico) has taken him to Bonnaroo and back, showcasing his electro-inclined quirky mixes of new and old.
The name Nacotheque is made up of the word "Naco" (often used in Mexican Spanish to describe bad-mannered people). Nacotheque, founded by Marcelo Cunning and Amylu Meneses, mix Latin alt-rock with 80s-tinged, funk-based beats, cumbia, and more.
Rican duo D'Marquesina started their parties as an ode to the awkward pre-pubescent shindigs held in Puerto Rican backyards and garages (i.e. de marquesina). They spin throwback tropical sounds laced with reggaeton and pop.

[Photo provided/Matthew Burkart testifies in committee on Tuesday, March 5.]
An Indiana House Committee has unanimously approved a bill inspired by a thirteen-year-old boy from Newburgh. Senate Bill 153 would create an exemption in Indiana's child labor laws to allow Hoosiers younger than 14 to work as youth athletic program referees, umpires or officials. Evansville Holy Rosary Catholic School student Matthew Burkart sought the change after he was turned away from taking a referee job or volunteering as an official for a local soccer club. Burkart, who testified in both the Senate and House committee hearings, said "This bill will get kids off the couches and iPads" and help teach responsibility, commitment and confidence.
[Photo provided/Matthew Burkart and his father, Bob, meet with Rep. Crouch (located far left in photo) and Sen. Becker (located far right in photo) after committee on Tuesday, March 5.]
Burkart also says the bill would potentially help 300 12- and 13-year-old Hoosiers who want to referee.

The world's fastest DirectX 11 GPU. With screaming performance and an innovative new thermal design, GeForce GTX 580 rips through the latest games while running quieter than the previous generation. GeForce GTX 580 – don't play DX11 without it.

AwesomePros: Fast and runs great; no problems as of yet. Cons: Rebate was denied until I called. Now I finally got it and I am happy 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Spectacular Performance -- Failed RebatePros: Power consumption and heat output within expectations -- running in Antec 300 Illusion case. Auto-detects maximum settings under BF3. Even after hours of BF3 gameplay, the card's fan never kicks on full speed. Works well under both Windows 7 and Novell openSUSE Linux (both 64-bit). The GTX580 is definitely a power-house. Paired with AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer, 16GB RAM on a Gigabyte 970-series motherboard. Antec 650W power supply provides ample juice for this setup (never more than 60% load under the worst circumstances, as verified by Kill-A-Watt meter). Cons: I purchased this particular GTX580 reference design over another due to the rebate that was being offered at the time (October) for purchases of this card made at NewEgg. All required materials were submitted to ECS, but now 2 months later (January) ECS replied (via snail mail) stating I 'submitted an invalid UPC.' (And yes, I submitted the UPC from the ECS box; now I have a box with a big hole in the side.) I would not have purchased this card had it not been for the rebate being offered for it. Moral of the story -- the product is great, but DO NOT PURCHASE IT if you expect the rebate to come through. There are other graphics card manufacturers out there that will honor rebate submissions. Other Thoughts: I would have purchased a different video card (also at NewEgg) had I known in advance that ECS would be pulling shenanigans with the rebate. My nice video card just got fifty dollars more expensive and ECS just got added to my list (yes, I have a list) of companies that weasel out of honoring properly submitted rebates. Unfortunately there is very little recourse a customer has to get companies to honor rebate submissions other than to pass the word along to other potential consumers. As I read other NewEgg user feedback regarding ECS products, the company's failure to honor rebates is a recurring theme. AVOID ECS PRODUCTS if your purchase decision is based largely on the rebate coming through! 4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
stock580gtxPros: this card works fine. probably just as good as other brands,but less money Cons: exspensive ,but it is very fast Other Thoughts: over clocking really does nothing but burn cards out. in game you wont even see the difference. cpu q6600 4 gig ram 600 watt corsair supply. mine never goes above 65 deg.and all i do is game replaced my bfg8800gtxOC. that began to fail.probably couse it was overclocked Did you find this review helpful? |
Standard Reference Card... Can't Complain!Pros: I believe this card is a reference Nvidia card with ECS simply putting their stickers on it. I was reluctant to go with ECS because they're not known to be a force in the graphics card arena but this card runs everything I've thrown at it with east and it has never peaked above 55 degrees Celsius! Cons: No overclocking support from ECS. The drivers and suites provided are the standard Nvidia applications. Other Thoughts: Fast shipping from Newegg. My thrid order and all have come in at less than 2 days after placing the order. Thank you, Newegg. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Works great!Pros: Reference GTX 580, purchased 2 for a SLI build and both have been working fine so far. Cons: None yet, hopefully the rebate comes. Other Thoughts: lowest priced gtx 580 currently. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Bucks Thoughts
by Steve Fifer
posted Oct 22 2013 3:22PM
The Bucks basketball season is about a week away and the team has yet to win an exhibition game. I can't say I'm shocked by this fact, considering you have 11 new faces on the roster and a few of them have been hurt for a majority of or all of the exhibition season. Now with that being said, you should start seeing some cohesion from the guys who have been healthy throughout camp and to be quite honest I really haven't seen that to this point.
Coming into this season I have said scoring will be an issue this season and to this point of the exhibition season I haven't seen anything to change my mind yet. Defensively you would think this team will improve simply by not having Ellis or Jennings on the roster anymore, however, will Knight and Mayo be enough of an improvement on that side of the floor to compensate for the lack of scoring night in and night out during the season?
While I may seem like I'm not overly excited for the team at this point, you have to understand that when you have a team as young as this, there will certainly be tons of room for improvement throughout the season. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Bucks young players get better throughout the season, not really caring about the win/loss total at the end of the season. I can't wait to get back to doing postgame shows this season and talking with other Bucks fans as the season goes through it's up's and downs.

Please Enter Your Comments Below
I agree with you Sparky, but I was very frustrated by the path the Bucks took. They had the money to go out and get an Al Jefferson and Josh Smith. Very disappointing. They did not have to spend all of it, but if they would have done their homework or taking a different path, the Bucks could have had a very good team this year. Instead, we get re-treads, ZaZa, Delfino, a streaky shooter and injury prone. I like the signings of Mayo, Ridenour and Caron Butler. The Bucks held the draft at the Bradley Center this your for season ticket holders. I had a 20 game pack in the past. I was so disappointed when they picked the one guy I did not want, Giannis. I can say with authority that when the pick was made, no one clapped, or smiled or high fiving. They all just left. But lets be serious, the Bucks in my estimation will probably win around 26 to 29 games. I hope I am wrong and they surprise me. With talk of a new arena, this is not how you go about winning over Bucks fans. Signed, concerned Bucks fan!

Migration - the regular movement of birds and other creatures from one part of the world to another and back again - is one of the wonders of the natural world.
Why do birds do it? Where do they go? What hazards do they face along the way? These, and similar questions, are all answered here.
Migration is a form of adaptation. Birds migrate to survive. Learning about migration is one of the best ways to understand the risks that birds and other animals must take in their daily lives - and it's a great way to interpret the changes you can see in the bird life around you.
Play this game and see the incredible journeys made by animals in their migrations. More...

Lloyd Walsh's flamenco dancer portrait
If you're a donor to the San Antonio Public Library Foundation, you're invited to attend "Art at Our Doorstep," a tour of the public art, some created by local artists, for the new Grand Hyatt Hotel. The tour is from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday (July 25).
Among the lobby works are Anita Valencia's "Perinolas," recycled and painted alumiumn cans used to form whirlagigs that seem to be fluttering over the escalator, and Lloyd Walsh's untitled portrait of a flamenco dancer. Michael Velliquette created a "Flowerscape" for the second floor, and Kathleen Trenchard's "Migration" is on the fourth floor. Call the foundation at (210) 225-4728 for ticket information.
On Saturday, the AT&T Center will have its first Contemporary Art Month event. The center is opening to the public for a tour of its more than 100 works by 35 local, regional and national artists along with a wine and cheese tasting from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday (July 26).
Among the works are George Cisneros' "Atomic Spur," Charles Ingram's 90-foot-wide South Texas mural, Gary Sweeney's giant American flag made out of miniature red, white and blue basketballs and Jane Eager Krueger's ranching scenes.
Other artists are Rick Hunter, Charles Field, Jerry Cabrera, Johnice Parker, John Coleman, Gini Garcia, Julie Shipp, Barbra Riley, Augusto Di Stefano, Margo Sawyer, Jesse Amado, Ethel Shipton and Bill Wilhelmi.
Guided tours will be conducted at 2 and 3 p.m. by Alice Carrington Foultz and Diana Roberts of Carrington Gallery. Several artists will be on hand to talk about their work.
The best thing about the tour is the chance to see art in the owner's suite, the players' lounge, administrative offices and other areas generally inaccessible to the general public.
Tickets cost $15. For more info, visit www.attcenter.com. Call Ace Barajas at (210) 444-5147 or Diana Roberts at (210) 535-7215 to make reservations, and tickets will be available at the door.

we are finally planning on doing something with our backyard. It is a very odd shape so we have felt quite challenged. It also has a retaining wall that has been rotting and really needs to be replaced. We are planning on replacing it with a fieldstone wall. We also want to put in a back terrace area that we can use for a large table, firepit and a few comfy chairs. Our concern is that since we are looking at a size of approximately 12 X 15 the cost of flagstone will blow our budget. I saw a decorating program where they did some type of flagstone look- a-like by using cement (with varying degrees of colour) and then scoring the cement so that it looked like stone.
Has anybody ever tried this method?
Some neighbours had the dyed concrete done. it was very nice and really was a job for a pro . You can buy dyes etc but getting it right would be hard unless you knew what you were doing.
I wouldn't say it was a stone look alike, but it was a nice treatment that stood on it's own as a good option. As I understand it, the companies that do this work can shape the pour to look more like stone of various types or do standard squares etc.
inspiration pic looks like something professionally done. Look in the yellow pages to find specialty concrete companies.
I have been to a home where this was used for a pathway and a patio. At that time it had been 5 years since it was done and it still looked really nice. I thought it was real stone as did everyone else. The home owner saw this at a local home show and apparently very easy to do. It looks like fun actually. :)
The Quikrete Company has combined the ideas of stamping and forming to offer the Quikrete Walk Maker, a family of reusable plastic molds designed to create brick- and stone-patterned features in concrete sidewalks, garden paths and patios. The Walk Maker is available in Country Stone, Running Bond Brick, European Block and Basket Weave patterns.
[U]Quikrete Walk Maker
Application is fairly simple. After clearing and leveling the desired area, and preparing a mix of fiber-reinforced concrete, place the Walk Maker mold on the ground and completely fill the cavities with concrete. Use a trowel to smooth and even the surface before removing the mold. Continue the process by placing the mold at the end of the first application until reaching desired length. Detailed application directions are provided with the product.
Topping It Off
A variety of concrete sealers are on the market, which add a finishing touch to the concrete surface. You'll notice a glossy finish on most textured concrete surfaces. The sheen is an indication of concrete sealer. Sealers come in a variety of "sheens" and play a vital role in protecting the concrete from stains, weather and scratching. Before applying a sealer to newly stamped concrete, wash off excess release agent with a pressure washer and allow the surface to dry. Once the sealer is applied and allowed to cure, you'll have a striking new decorative surface that will catch the eye and last for years.

Day one of the 2011 Financial & Insurance Conference Planners Education Forum started at lunchtime, and by the end of the afternoon attendees had already experienced a riotous emcee, Wendy Liebman, who claimed an airline even lost her carry-on luggage; a keynote session from Cheryl Cran, who helped the audience discover what cats and refrigerators have in common; an al fresco lunch featuring in-season produce, the hallmark of Banquet Chef Scott Mickelson; and the secret behind the design of The Grand Del Mar's amazing guest rooms, revealed in hilarious fashion by resort President Tom Voss. (His seven-woman guest-room advisory board gets the credit for many key features.)
Attendance at this year's Education Forum, taking place June 15–17 at The Grand Del Mar in San Diego, tops 180 planners and hospitality partners.
In a first for FICP, Cheryl Cran's opening keynote was live-streamed to virtual attendees who weren't able to attend the Forum in person. Lydia Goessel, manager of education and learning services for FICP, worked with Bartha Audio Visual, provider of AV and production for the entire meeting, to do the live-streaming. Goessel, who watched the presentation on site on her own laptop while interacting with the viewing audience, said this foray into the realm of hybrid meetings went very smoothly, and the association could consider expanding the number of live-streamed sessions at future meetings.
Speaking on transformational leadership, Cran discussed generational differences in the workplace, as well as ways to think creatively. That's where the cat and refrigerator came in. Attendees were asked to come up with a list of 10 things the two have in common. Responses ranged from "they both purr" to "they both hang out in the kitchen." Cran said there were at least 50 possible responses and no wrong answers: The exercise showed the creativity that can result from "putting odd things together." This skill is something that Gen-Ys (those now 20 to 30 years old) are taught in school, Cran said. They're encouraged to think beyond the usual, beyond the structure, which is something that Gen-Xers and Baby Boomers (or "Zoomers," which Cran said are boomers "who refuse to age") are not accustomed to but should try.
Boomers were raised in a rules-based environment; Gen-Ys were not. Boomers and Gen-Xers communicate by e-mail; Gen-Ys do not. Rather than trying to force conformity on Gen-Ys, Cran advised yielding a little to their way of working. "You're not giving up power; you're creating space for a relationship to grow," she said.
She also encouraged flexibility and adaptability, reminding attendees of the saying: "The things we resist are the things that persist." Ask yourself where you resist, she said, and you will find the places where opportunity for innovation lies.
Cran is the author of The Control Freak Revolution and 101 Ways to Make Generations X, Y, and Zoomers Happy at Work. Her keynote was sponsored by Diane Goodman of Goodman Speakers Bureau.
Elegance and Ease
Any report about the 2011 FICP Education Forum must include the important role the setting played in its success. Host hotel The Grand Del Mar is stunning in every area, from guest rooms, to meeting facilities, to service—not to mention the gorgeous bathrooms.
Opened in 2007, the AAA-Five Diamond resort offers 249 guest rooms and a variety of beautiful meeting space, from the 10,000-square-foot Elizabeth Ballroom to breakout rooms, outdoor lawns and pavilions, to wine rooms and terraces. A standout space is the 3,072-square-foot Capella, a chapel, perfect when used in combination with the 725-square-foot Capella Courtyard. After enjoying an outdoor reception, guests can watch the chapel doors open to reveal an elegant dinner venue.
Built at a cost of $270 million, the resort was inspired by the design style of 1920s architectural visionary Addison Mizner, and aims to capture the elegance and comfort of an Old World Mediterranean estate. The Grand Del Mar also offers San Diego's only Tom Fazio–designed championship golf course and the award-winning restaurant Addison, featuring Relais & Châteaux Grand Chef William Bradley.

Form and Content (Masterplots II: Women's Literature Series)
The Yearling is an initiatory tale in which an innocent and happy twelve-year-old boy passes into young adulthood. Some of his youthful illusions are shattered by the end of the year in his life that the book chronicles, but Jody emerges with a substantial hold on the adulthood that stretches ahead of him.
Jody Baxter lives in the scrubby inland country of central Florida not far south of the Georgia line, the area out of Gainesville in which Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings herself lived intermittently. He is the only child of Penny and Ora Baxter, two people who barely scrape by on what they can grow or catch when Penny goes hunting or fishing. Jody accompanies his father on his food-seeking adventures and also helps with the family's minimal farming. Despite the Baxter's poverty, Jody's childhood seems ideal by most standards. The boy has a particularly strong bond with his father. He is less sure of his feelings toward his mother, a large, dominating woman who rules a roost that clearly someone has to rule. Penny is easygoing and not always practical. Ora's temperament complements his. She views life realistically, forcing practicality upon her two men, even though they do not always appreciate her efforts to control them in this way.
By drawing Ora as she does, Rawlings defines important lines of conflict in her novel, which was awarded the 1938 Pulitzer Prize in fiction. Although The Yearling is sentimental, it had...

Context (Masterplots II: Women's Literature Series)
The Yearling was perfect for its time: In 1938, Europe was arming for a war into which the United States would inevitably be drawn. The reading public badly needed a book that glorified innocence and reflected a less complicated era than the one facing a populace still suffering from the Great Depression, shocked by the Spanish Civil War and its atrocities, and apprehensive about the rise of fascism in Germany, much of Eastern Europe, and Italy.
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings did not live in an age notable for the kind of feminism that emerged in the United States during the 1970's and 1980's, although in her early years, suffragettes were active in seeking the voting rights that women were finally accorded in 1920. In The Yearling, Rawlings certainly did not set out consciously to make a statement about the status of women. Nevertheless, she makes two important points about matters that are important in terms of feminist issues.
First, in her depiction of Ora Baxter, Rawlings creates a strong, almost overpowering female character who, if her actions are at times distressing, can at least be justified. The Baxters live at the edge economically. Not only does their farm produce little, but Penny's bouts of illness leave him unable to hunt for the food that the family needs and render him powerless, at times, to prevent the onslaughts that bears and wolves make on his livestock. Viewing the Baxters' situation realistically,...

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
Baxter's Island
Baxter's Island. Farm of the Baxter family covering one hundred acres of Florida scrubland in the middle of a dry forest. Penny Baxter bought the land from the Forrester family, whose neighboring farm is called Forrester's Island. The Baxter farm is covered with hardwood trees and rich foliage, representing a place of refuge, an oasis in a harsh natural environment.
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, who lived in Cross Creek between the towns of Gainesville and Ocala, not far from the places her novel describes, admired the independence of the people who lived in Florida's backwoods. Her fictional Baxter evidently chose to farm on this land because of its isolation. Shunning city life, which makes "intrusions on the individual spirit," Penny settles on the Florida scrub because the "wild animals seemed less predatory to him than the people he had known." He learns to live in harmony with nature and to subsist on what his land has to offer. The challenge is great, however, because Baxter's Island is "ringed with hunger," and the family's survival is constantly threatened by natural hazards, including harsh weather, predatory animals, and even the docile deer that Jody Baxter adopts as a pet—the "yearling" of the novel's title.
*Ocklawaha River
*Ocklawaha River. Florida river that originates in several lakes near the center of the state and flows northward along the edge of what is now the Ocala National Forest before it joins the St. Johns River south of Palatka. Lined with cypress trees, swamp maples, and sable palms whose growth is dense enough to form a canopy above its channel, the river symbolizes the danger and beauty that humans must learn to respect, and understand.
After his mother shoots the yearling that has been destroying the freshly planted corn, Jody decides to run away from home. He heads for the river, on which he sets off in a dugout canoe. After several days without food, he is picked up by a river mail boat and returned home, ashamed and penitent.
*Juniper Creek
*Juniper Creek. Exceptionally clear stream fed by a spring that for Jody is a natural sanctuary.

OKLAHOMA CITY — An Oklahoma Muslim has filed a federal lawsuit against a state ballot measure that prohibits state courts from considering international law or Islamic law when deciding cases.
Muneer Awad, head of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Oklahoma, filed the lawsuit Thursday, saying it is unconstitutional. The ballot question was approved in Tuesday's election with 70 percent support.

I like Renntech but DAMN....call it 1900 dollars. I guess it is definitely not for me.

Girl Scouts Celebrates Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
Girl Scouts of the USA is proud to celebrate the diversity, rich culture and contributions of the Asian and Pacific Islander communities. In honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, in May, Girl Scouts pays homage to individuals who have made a significant impact on the Girl Scout movement.
From National Board members to girls everywhere, Asians and Pacific Islanders contribute greatly to the Girl Scout mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better, and more inclusive, place.
Throughout the month of May, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds will come together and celebrate Asian and Pacific Islander culture, as well as commemorate the international work of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). With locations across the globe, including countries such as China and India, WAGGGS works to ensure that opportunities exist for all girls.
Local Girl Scout Brings Awareness to Her Community
The Girl Scout mission is to build "girls of courage, and confidence, and character, who make the world a better place." Nobody brings that mission to life better than 15-year-old Reema, a Girl Scout from New Jersey. Not only is this future neurosurgeon and classical Indian dancer in the Honors Program at Columbia University on the weekends but she's also making a difference in her community.
Reema is on her way to earning the Girl Scout Gold Award—the highest Girl Scout recognition for community service.
For her Gold Award project, Reema is increasing awareness about issues affecting the deaf and hearing-impaired community. "Lots of people are not aware of the conditions that deaf people go through," she says. "All the simple things like alarm clocks or doorbells that we take for granted are not suited for deaf people."
To bring awareness to her community, Reema is teaching sign language to 30 Brownie Girl Scouts. Reema is also acting as a community ambassador for the Marie H. Katzenbach School, where she first learned about the issues facing the deaf community and learned to sign.
Taking inspiration from Juliette Gordon Low, the hearing-impaired founder of Girl Scouts of the USA, Reema is committed to continue educating her community about these and more important issues. You can expect to find Reema at Science camp this summer.
