A Martian is a native inhabitant of the planet Mars. Although the search for evidence of life on Mars continues, many science fiction writers have imagined what extraterrestrial life on Mars might be like.
Martians in fiction[edit]
Aleriel, or A Voyage to Other Worlds (1883) by W. S. Lach-Szyrma is reputed to be the first published work to apply the word Martian as a noun instead of an adjective. The usage is incidental; it occurs when Aleriel, the novel's protagonist, lands on Mars in a spacecraft called an "ether-car" (an allusion to aether, which was once postulated as a gaseous medium in outer space). Aleriel buries the car in snow "so that it might not be disturbed by any Martian who might come across it."[1]
15 years later, H. G. Wells' landmark novel The War of the Worlds (1898) was published by William Heinemann, Ltd. when the latter was a relatively new publishing house. In this story, the Martians are a technologically-advanced race of cephalopod-like extraterrestrials who invade Earth because Mars is becoming too cold to sustain them. The Martians' undoing is a lethal vulnerability to Earth bacteria.
In his book Mars and Its Canals (1906), astronomer and businessman Percival Lowell conjectured that an extinct Martian race had once constructed a vast network of aqueducts to channel water to their settlements from Mars' polar ice caps, Planum Australe and Planum Boreum. Lowell did not invent this Martian canal hypothesis, but he supported it.[2] The belief that Mars had canals was based on observations Giovanni Schiaparelli made through his reflecting telescope. Although the telescope's image was fuzzy, Schiaparelli thought he saw long, straight lines on the Martian surface; some astronomers came to believe that these lines were structures built by Martians. This idea inspired Lowell, who returned to the subject in Mars As the Abode of Life (1910), wherein he wrote a fanciful description of what this Martian society may have been like.[3] Although his description was based on almost no evidence, Lowell's words evoked vivid pictures in his readers' imaginations.
One of the people Lowell inspired was Edgar Rice Burroughs, who began writing his own story about Mars in the summer of 1911. The story is a planetary romance in which an American Civil War veteran named John Carter is transported to Mars when he walks inside a cave on Earth. He finds that Mars is populated by two species of warring humanoids, and he becomes embroiled in their conflict.
In February 1912, an American pulp magazine called The All-Story published Burroughs' story as the first installment of a serial novel, which the editor titled Under the Moons of Mars (retitled A Princess of Mars in subsequent editions). The book was the first in Burroughs' Barsoom series.
Although the noun Martian can describe any organism from Mars, these and later works typically imagine Martians as a humanoid monoculture. Martian, in this sense, is more like the word human than the word Earthling. (Few writers describe a biodiverse Mars.) In science fiction, Martians are stereotypically imagined in one or more of the following ways: As alien invaders; as humanoids with a civilization that resembles one on Earth; as anthropomorphic animals; as beings with superhuman abilities; as humanoids with a lower intelligence than humans; as human colonists who adopt a Martian identity; and/or as an extinct race who possessed high intelligence.
Martians as invaders of Earth[edit]
H. G. Wells' novel The War of the Worlds (1898) and its adaptations have been an extraordinary influence to science fiction writers for more than 100 years. Wells' Martians are a technologically advanced species with an ancient civilisation. They resemble cephalopods (such as the octopus), and walk around Earth in fighting machines that have great, stilt-like legs. They invade Earth because Mars is cooling down, and they decide that they need a warmer planet to live on. They attack cities with rayguns that they fire with their tentacles.
In Last and First Men (1930), Olaf Stapledon visited Wells' theme of Martian invasion. Last and First Men summarizes tens of thousands of years of invasions and war between Martians and humans. Eventually, humans destroy the Martians' empire.
In 1948, Warner Bros. introduced a new villain to their animated films: Marvin the Martian, a short, slender figure with comically oversized eyes, hands, and feet, but no visible mouth. His big, spherical head is either completely black or always under the shadow of his helmet. His clothing is patterned on that of Mars, the god of war in Roman mythology. In Marvin's film debut, Haredevil Hare (1948), he attempts to blow up Earth because it "obscures [his] view of Venus".
In the Superman story "Black Magic on Mars" (1950),[4] Superman faces Martians led by a dictator called Martler, who is an admirer of Adolf Hitler.
Invaders from Mars (1953), a film that was remade in 1986, fuses the tentacles of Wells' Martians to little green men. In his 1955 comic novel Martians, Go Home, Fredric Brown spoofs the Wellsian invasion, and reinterprets the Martian invader as a rude houseguest. Brown, too, employs the "little green men" trope.
In Mars Attacks! (1996), a sci-fi black comedy written by Jonathan Gems and directed by Tim Burton, the Martian invaders are loud, irritating, and dim-witted, despite having outsized heads with extremely large, protuding brains. They invade a town in the Midwestern United States during a re-broadcast of the 1938 radio dramatisation of The War of the Worlds.
In "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?", a 1961 episode of The Twilight Zone, Martians attempt to colonize Earth, but are thwarted by Venusians. Here, the Martians are disguised as humans, but towards the end we see that they have three arms.
In Mars Needs Moms (2007), a picture book by Berkeley Breathed, Martians are squat, humanoid beings with antennae and skin color that varies by individual. When they travel to Earth, they wear transparent helmets and a bulbous, ribbed outer garment. In the story, a five-year-old boy learns to appreciate his mother more after three Martians kidnap her while he sleeps. Writer-director Simon Wells and his wife Wendy adapted the book into a film, Mars Needs Moms (2011).
Little green men recur in the 2009 video game Stalin vs. Martians, a spoof of earlier strategy video games. As the president of the Soviet Union, the player defends Earth from Martian invasion. This time the caricature of the Martians appears to be influenced by H. R. Giger.
Martians as civilized humanoids[edit]
In April 1911, about a year before The All-Story published the first installment of Burroughs' Under the Moons of Mars, Modern Electrics began publishing Hugo Gernsback's own romance, Ralph 124C 41+, which takes place on Earth. Gernsback's Martians live among the humans on Earth; they are taller and physically stronger than humans, with green skin and large eyes. The serial wasn't republished as a book until 1925.
1923 saw the publication of Aelita, or The Decline of Mars, a novel that is equally science fiction and political fiction. Its author, Soviet Russian writer Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy, tells a story of a Soviet engineer who builds a rocket and invites an acquaintance to accompany him in it to Mars. There they find a humanoid race of Martians who are the offspring of both an elder Martian species and of humans from Atlantis. The Martians live in a class society; the workers rise up against the ruling class, but the revolution fails. All the while, Mars is entering a phase of climate change that threatens disaster for the population.
Red Planet (1932), a play cowritten by John L. Balderston and John Hoare, also deals with radical environmental change on Mars, except in this case it occurs through terraforming. Balderston was one of the few playwrights of the 20th century to adopt Mars or Martians as a subject for the stage. He was, however, also a screenwriter who specialized in fantasy film and horror film. Many years later, United Artists bought a screen adaptation that Balderston and fellow screenwriter Anthony Veiller wrote. Harry Horner directed the film, called Red Planet Mars, and it was released to cinemas in 1952. In the film, a scientist communicates with Martians by radio, and they tell him that Mars is a utopia. When the news circulates, it causes widespread unrest among the people of Western nations. The US government tries to silence further messages, then later announces that the Martians have informed them that they must all worship God in order to save themselves. After millions of people revolt against their governments, it seems the Martian communiques may haven been a hoax.
In four stories by Eric Frank Russell published in the early 1940s and collected in the classic Men, Martians and Machines (1955), a crew of humans and humanoid Martians are shipmates and compatriots on an interstellar voyage. During their travels, they encounter hostile aliens.
Ray Bradbury's novel The Martian Chronicles (1950) depicts Martians as a refined and artistic race of golden-skinned beings who closely resemble humans. The Martians are almost completely wiped out by the diseases brought to Mars by human invaders. At the end of the book, the human inhabitants of Mars realize that they are the new Martians. The novel's themes and its portrayal of Martians resemble Bradbury's 1949 short story "Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed".
Brothers Jim Thomas and John Thomas teamed with Graham Yost to write Mission to Mars (2000), a film that depicts Martians as tall, feminine, peaceful humanoids who left Mars to escape the havoc caused by a massive meteorite impact.
Martians as anthropomorphic animals[edit]
C. S. Lewis wrote, in Out of the Silent Planet (1938), about three humans who visit Mars and meet three different kinds of intelligent native creatures: The hrossa, the sorns/séroni, and the pfifltriggi. They are dying out, but are resigned to their fate. The books also describe a prey animal called hnakra, which is hunted. The planet is ruled by the Oyarsa, who are also called "eldil".
As a writer for Doctor Who, Brian Hayles created a Martian species of reptilian humanoids called Ice Warriors, who move stiffly and speak in a husky whisper. Most of the Ice Warriors that the Doctor encounters are brutish and belligerent. As Mars' climate becomes less favorable to sustaining them, the Ice Warriors seek a new planet.
These reptilians debuted in The Ice Warriors (1967), a Doctor Who television serial about an impending ice age in Earth's future. As British scientists try to slow or avert a glacier encroaching on Great Britain, they find an Ice Warrior near their base, frozen in the glacier, and apparently in suspended animation. No one knows the being's identity, but they understand that it is probably from another planet. When the Ice Warrior revives, he attacks the first person he sees and kidnaps a young woman.
Martians and human colonists[edit]
Many of Robert A. Heinlein's Martian characters are humans born and raised on Mars. In Red Planet (1949), boys attend a boarding school in a human colony on Mars. A population of native Martians tolerates them until the colony administrator threatens a Martian child. The Martians demand that the humans leave Mars, but a human doctor convinces them to let reconsider.
In Heinlein's 1956 novel Double Star, humans have colonized the solar system, and a politician on Mars faces the civil rights issue of granting a native Martian species (who are second-class citizens) the right to vote.
In Philip K. Dick's novel Martian Time-Slip (1964), a human colony on Mars is trying to cope with arduous environmental conditions. They treat an aboriginal race, whom they call "Bleekmen", with casual racism. In The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch (1965), Mars has no indigenous life. To cope with the sterile habitat, the human colonists abuse drugs such as "Can-D" and "Chew-Z."
Dick previously published a shorter version of the story in 1963, called All We Marsmen. Like Heinlein's Double Star, All We Marsmen was conceived at a time in US history when many marginalized people were fighting especially vehemently for more civil rights. US President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law on 2 July 1964.1
Total Recall (1990) is a science fiction action film about an apparently unsophisticated construction worker who turns out to be a freedom fighter from Mars who has been relocated to Earth. He later learns of an alien artifact that proves Mars harbored life before the human colonization.
The character designers for Futurama, a comical American animated series, imagine Mars after human colonization as being like the American frontier; native Martians inhabit zones analogous to Indian reservations. One of the series principal characters, Amy Wong, is a scientist of Chinese descent who was born on Mars. Her parents have amassed an enormous fortune and enterprise there.
Rebecca Bloomer's novel Unearthed (2011), the first in a series, describes a futuristic human colony on Mars amidst the populations of native Martians.
1. ^ See also African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955–68)
Martians as an extinct race[edit]
For his Known Space series of novels, Larry Niven conceived humanoid Martians with a primitive material culture who inhabit an environment of red dust and nitric acid, and for whom water is lethal. In the 1973 novel Protector, a man named Jack Brennan allies himself with a ruthless, xenophobic humanoid species called the Pak. To preclude the possibility future competition for Pak offspring, Brennan engineers a Martian genocide by sending an ice-covered asteroid to collide with Mars.
In Dennis Feltham Jones' 1977 novel Colossus and the Crab, Martian life predated life on Earth, but faced a process of devolution as conditions on the planet worsened.
Quatermass and the Pit (1958–59) is a British television serial in which a crashed spacecraft is discovered in London. The wreck evidences that the human population of Earth resulted from the experiments of a Martian civilisation, now long dead. A film remake was released in 1967.
Ghosts of Mars (2001) human invaders war with Martians in an attempt to conquer Mars.
In the Invader Zim episode "Battle of the Planets" (2001), Zim discovers that a Martian race died off after converting Mars into a giant spacecraft.
Martians as superbeings[edit]
In Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land (1961), a man raised by native Martians emigrates to Earth, where he must reacclimate. In the novel he functions as a Christ figure. Soon he demonstrates psychic powers, superhuman intelligence, and an ability to manipulate higher dimensions. He founds a church on Earth based on Martian philosophy, and starts a cultural shift. At the novel's climax, he is murdered by a mob from a rival religious group.
In 1963, American television network CBS premiered a sitcom called My Favorite Martian. The series proved popular in the US, especially during the first season, and CBS broadcast more than one hundred episodes before canceling it when the third season ended in 1966. In this comedy, a Martian anthropologist (who passes for human in most respects) crashes on Earth, where he is harbored by an American man who keeps the Martian's identity secret. Also secret are the Martian's extraordinary abilities, not the least of which are invisibility and telepathy. CBS's rival networks, NBC and ABC, did not fail to notice the success of My Favorite Martian, or the comic potential of a character with secret powers. In 1964, ABC introduced Bewitched (a sitcom about a married, suburban witch), and NBC countered the following year with I Dream of Jeannie, a sitcom about an astronaut who discovers and marries a genie.
In Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons (1967–68), the Mysterons are a race of invisible superbeings from Mars who are at war with humans from Earth. The conflict begins when Captain Black, a human officer investigating radio signals from Mars, mistakes a surveillance camera for a weapon. In violation of his orders, he attacks, but the Mysterons immediately repair the damage he caused. The conflict escalates, and the Mysterons attempt to assassinate the president of Earth.
DC Comics introduced the first Martian superhero to the DC Universe in 1955. Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz), a green humanoid who is believed to be the last of the peaceful Green Martians, joins the Justice League. Meanwhile, the warlike, shapeshifting White Martians regard the Green Martians as enemies. The White Martians adopt a humanoid form which, they say, expresses their distinctive philosophy. DC introduced a White Martian superhero, Miss Martian, in 2006. A third race, the Yellow Martians, may or may not have survived as long as the Green and White Martians.

Stretched Prius Seats 8, Still Gets 50 MPG
Some guy modded his Prius into an 8-seater. It took over 200 hours of fabrication and cost around $10,000. It allegedly still gets 50 MPG. I don't really know what to say, except good for him. Notice how I'm not calling this thing a limo? That's because it's not. I did some investigative reporting and discovered that the dude extended it to accommodate his six kids -- which makes it a Prius station wagon owned by a man with too many children. Limos are elongated vehicles in which you get drunk and have sex with hookers. Now I'm not claiming to be a limologist or anything, I'm just claiming I banged a hooker in a real limo once. And let me tell you something else – she had the sexiest lazy eye I've ever seen.

XTERRA Runners Battle at Bulldog for Regional TitlesSince last September, almost 1000 athletes have come out to compete in the 2009 XTERRA SoCal Trail Run Series, and on May 9, the Regional Champions will be crowned. The XTERRA Malibu Creek Trail Run will serve as the season finale and feature the grueling half-marathon distance Xduro along with a 6-kilometer fun run. Malibu Creek State Park sets the stage as runners compete in what race director Brennan Lindner calls the series' "Grand Mama Event." In a matter of 22-kilometers, the course boasts a 3284-foot elevation gain with more than half of that in a small stretch between mile 3 and 6 known infamously as Bulldog Mountain. The XTERRA Malibu Creek Xduro is proud to announce its partnership with The Salvation Army on its mission to introduce underprivileged children to the outdoors at its camp located around mile 12 of the race course. All participants have the opportunity to make a donation during registration or by using the pledge form found online. This is the seventh and final race in the 2009 XTERRA SoCal Trail Run Series and runners' last chance to add points toward their series totals. Runners like San Diego's Heather D'Anna or Robin Lee Wilhelm of Cerritos, who have competed in all six races so far, have already clinched their Regional Titles, but for everyone else it will all come down to the battle at Bulldog. Champions will receive free entry to the XTERRA Trail Running National Championship on September 13 in Bend, Oregon. From there they will have the opportunity to go head to head with the World's best trail runners at the XTERRA Trail Running World Championship on December 6 in beautiful Hawaii.

► Tet1/Tet2 double-mutant ESCs are depleted of 5hmC and remain pluripotent ► Mice with combined loss of Tet1 and Tet2 are viable with reduced fertility ► Hypermethylation and partial perinatal lethality are associated with Tet1/Tet2 loss ► Deficiency of Tet1 and Tet2 compromises imprinting
Tet enzymes (Tet1/2/3) convert 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in various embryonic and adult tissues. Mice mutant for either Tet1 or Tet2 are viable, raising the question of whether these enzymes have overlapping roles in development. Here we have generated Tet1 and Tet2 double-knockout (DKO) embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and mice. DKO ESCs remained pluripotent but were depleted of 5hmC and caused developmental defects in chimeric embryos. While a fraction of double-mutant embryos exhibited midgestation abnormalities with perinatal lethality, viable and overtly normal Tet1/Tet2-deficient mice were also obtained. DKO mice had reduced 5hmC and increased 5mC levels and abnormal methylation at various imprinted loci. Nevertheless, animals of both sexes were fertile, with females having smaller ovaries and reduced fertility. Our data show that loss of both enzymes is compatible with development but promotes hypermethylation and compromises imprinting. The data also suggest a significant contribution of Tet3 to hydroxylation of 5mC during development.

Fundraiser at The Winchester Sat., March 23, To Help Keep Their Doors Open
If you haven't been to The Winchester Restaurant & Bar just over the New Haven line in Woodbridge, you're really missing out. They've got some great eats (deviled eggs, lobster mac and cheese, pulled pork) and they keep their guests lubricated with an excellent drink menu. They're right across the street from New Haven Brewing Co., and across the parking lot with Amity Bowl. Very easy to "make a night of it" in this little cluster of awesome stuff to do on Selden Street.

Our Science – Flanders Website
Kathleen C. Flanders, Ph.D.
Dr. Kathleen Flanders received a B.S.degree in chemistry from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Ph.D. in biological chemistry from Indiana University. Following a post-doctoral fellowship at Case Western Reserve University, she joined the National Cancer Institute in the laboratory of Dr. Anita Roberts in 1985. Since then her research has focused on various aspects of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) biology. She currently works in the tumor suppressor group under the direction of Dr. Lalage Wakefield.Research
Dr. Flanders developed some of the first isoform-specific antibodies to TGF-beta to be widely used in immunohistochemistry. She has extensive experience in analysis of components of the TGF-beta signaling pathway in tissues relating to many in vivo models of wound healing and disease pathogenesis. She has studied the role of TGF-beta and its signaling intermediate, Smad3, in chornic fibrotic conditions such as radiation-induced fibrosis showing that loss of Smad3 inhibits fibrosis. These results suggest that development of small molecule inhibitors of Smad3 may be useful as potential anti-fibrotic therapeutic agents. She is currently interested in the tumor microenvironment and is investigating the potential involvement of TGF-beta in mediating the condition of high mammographic density (HMD)which is a significant risk factor for breast cancer. Development of a mouse model of HMD as well as analysis of TGF-beta pathway components in human HMD samples are currently underway. The signaling pathways activated by TGF-beta isoforms in human mammary fibroblasts in vitro are also being analyzed.

I'm afraid since the hack I do see some worst battery draining.
However, not extreme as the battery drain I had with the old MMS patch...
In no particular order...
Monitoring tethering data usage is not on my priority list. And trust me, you wouldn't want it, anyway.
@nathulal, @iPhoneRob
It might get a little warm during tethering, because there are a few things which must be kept ON.
Yes, you got it eventually. That readme needs to be opened with word-wrap off and *nix EOL. A readme for the readme would be a little overkill, though...
"worst" is a superlative. There is little evidence pointing to a real, yet abnormal battery drain.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. If you have tethering on 3.1, then I'm pretty confident that everyone around here would like to thank you for sharing it (as 3.1 is out for quite a while now). If you don't have it, but want it for 3.1, then I could produce a patch, albeit untested. However, I would advise against that, because then more people would ask for it, and I would rather not monitor two versions.
Daniel Borca
A maintenance release; and hopefully the last one, provided no bugs get reported. Changes:
- attempt to solve APN type-mask in a smarter way
- bugfix in automatic installation script
- clarified some things in the readme
People happy with the last version of the patch shouldn't be bothered with this update.

I don't remember reading anywhere in this thread and it wasn't stated in the instrucions...
What about the files copied onto the phone? Are they used after the script has been run? Can we delete them? Should we delete them?
I would also mention that there is a .dll needed from iTunes that connects the iPhone to the computer doing the tethering. I was unaware of how to get my laptop connected and found the answer from apple.com during a search. I had to install iTunes on the computer (didn't have it on the laptop previously). Once iTunes was installed, the phone connected itself.
All in all an AWSOME hack. Thanks again for all of the hard work!!!
Last edited by iPhoneRob; 11-29-2009 at 05:10 AM. Reason: Typo
iTunes's only required when your using USB-mode internet sharing, not BT-mode as the BT profile used is a standard PAN (personal area network) profile used by various devices.
Successfully modded my 2G with this hack. Now if I manage to get a GPS unit for my 2G, I may sell off my 3G finally (I have T-Mobile US service, so you can understand why...).
Great work.

Step 1 - Start Cydia on your jailbroken iPhone springboard.
Step 2 - Select Manage tab at the bottom of your iPhone screen and then select Sources.
Step 3 - Select Edit and then select Add. Now enter a URL source. Type http://cydia.iphonemod.com.br/ and select on Add Source. Once Cydia has added the source click on Return to Cydia button.
Step 4 - Once the installation is completed. Search for iPhone 2G: Tethering, MMS, bluetooth profile in Cydia and install it.
Step 5 - This app will automatically enable internet tethering and fix issues related to MMS, Bluetooth and Lotus Profile on your unlocked and jailbroken iPhone 2G 3.1.2 firmware.
Note: You must install this package only on iPhone 2G firmware 3.1.2. Let me know if it works with other iPhone models.
Understand that it IS the same hack. Why would you want it on your other iPhone models? Yes, it might work on 3G, but would you take that risk? No, it won't work on anything but 3.1.2. This is the danger when you give everything to people. They forget to read. Read that 00README.txt.
And a small caveat: if you have other tweaks in M68AP.plist (like gas-gauge-battery), they'll be lost.

Back with another small issue. After installing these patches on a freshly formatted iphone. My APN for the mms still does not stick after i leave the network settings page. Interestingly i can send picture messages but i can only receive them if i am using some other feature of the phone that uses edge. So if someone sends me one it could be days before i actually use edge to check my email or something and then i will get the picture message.
Also i am having problems getting the bluetooth to work. I have tried to pair with a laptop and other phones with native bluetooth. I always get a failure to connect following the security code.
Any ideas?
This thread does not deal with MMS. But because I had an itch I had to scratch back then, I enabled it. So here goes: does the same issue happen with the other hack, too?
Try to quickly start a PAN daemon on the computer (within 60 seconds or so) after pairing. The PAN/BNEP profile on the iPhone needs the computer be in PANU mode.
On Linux, issue "pand --connect bdaddr". On Mac, click on Bluetooth icon and then Connect (or something like that). On Windows, I don't know. I tested only Linux and Mac.
If it doesn't work, then (on the phone): "forget" the computer, stop bluetooth, start bluetooth again and re-try pairing. I never had problems tethering via Bluetooth, once the blue band appears on top of the iPhone. But sometimes tethering might not wake up if the computer is paired already; either that, or my linux setup is fsck'ed.

Sisters sing country for a cause
The Walker sisters sang in the streets of Nashville for the first time nearly a decade ago and were tickled to find that they earned $4 in tips in 10 minutes. They were in fourth and seventh grades at the time. The girls later went back with an hour's worth of music and once again sang their hearts out on Broadway Street.

An AWOL soldier convicted of planning a massive attack on a restaurant full of Fort Hood soldiers as part of his religious mission faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced in Texas federal court.
Army Pfc. Naser Jason Abdo has said he will represent himself in court when he is sentenced Thursday.
Abdo, 22, said during an earlier hearing that he and his attorneys weren't communicating effectively. He was convicted in May on six federal charges, including attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.
Abdo was AWOL from Fort Campbell, Ky., when he was arrested last summer at a motel near Fort Hood with bomb-making materials.

Dancehall is a type of Jamaican popular music which developed in the late 1970s, with exponents such as Yellowman and Shabba Ranks. It is also known as bashment.
The style is characterized by a deejay singing and toasting (or rapping) over raw and danceable music ?riddims'. The rhythm in dancehall is much faster than in reggae, sometimes with drum machines replacing acoustic sets. In the early years of dancehall, some found its lyrics crude or "slack", particularly because of its sexual tones, popular among youths in Jamaica. Like its reggae predecessor, dancehall eventually made inroads onto the world music scene. It may be the predecessor of hip hop music.
This deejay-led, largely synthesized chanting with musical accompaniment departed from traditional conceptions of Jamaican popular musical entertainment. Dub poet Mutabaruka maintained, "If 1970s reggae was red, green and gold, then in the next decade it was gold chains". It was far removed from its gentle roots and culture, and there was furious debate among purists as to whether it should be considered some sort of extension of reggae music.
Origins of Dancehall
Dancehall owes its moniker to the spaces in which popular Jamaican recordings were aired by local sound systems and readily consumed by its "set-to-party" patronage; commonly referred to as "dance halls". Dancehall, the musical genre, is long considered to be the creation of Henry "Junjo" Lawes in 1979. The production of dancehall music was further refined by King Jammy in the early 80s, during the transition from dub to dancehall, and original attempts to digitize "hooks" to "toast" over by Jamaican deejays.
King Jammy's 1985 hit, "(Under Me) Sleng Teng" by Wayne Smith, with an entirely-digital rhythm hook took the dancehall reggae world by storm. Many credit this song as being the first "digital rhythm" in reggae, leading to the modern dancehall era. However this is not entirely correct since there are earlier examples of digital productions; Horace Ferguson's single "Sensi Addict" (Ujama) produced by Prince Jazzbo in 1984 is one.
Major artists and milestones
Dancehall emerged in the early 1980s, and most of the creative output can be credited to studio musicians Steely & Clevie, along with the handful of producers they collaborated with. They created the music for many of the riddims that the genre was based on. The decade saw the arrival of a new generation of deejays, most distinct were the harder edged, such as Ninjaman, Flourgon, General Trees, Tiger, Admiral Bailey, Super Cat, Yellowman, Tenor Saw, Shelly Thunder, Reggie Stepper, Shabba Ranks, Johnny P, Peter Metro, Charlie Chaplin, Cutty Ranks, and Papa San to name a few. To complement their sound, a "sweet sing" vocal style evolved out of roots reggae and R&B, marked by its falsetto and almost feminine intonation, with proponents like Pinchers, Cocoa Tea, Sanchez, Admiral Tibet, Frankie Paul, Half Pint, Conroy Smith, Courtney Melody, Carl Meeks, and Barrington Levy. It is important to note that a lot of established reggae singers like Gregory Isaacs, Militant Barry, Beres Hammond, Johnny Osbourne and U-Roy transitioned into dancehall.
In the early 90s, songs like Dawn Penn's "No, No, No", Shabba Ranks's "Mr. Loverman", Patra's "Worker Man" and Chaka Demus and Pliers' "Murder She Wrote" became some of the first dancehall megahits in the U.S. and abroad. Various other varieties of dancehall achieved crossover success outside of Jamaica during the mid-to-late 1990s. Tanya Stephens gave a unique female voice to the genre during the 1990s.
The years 1990-1994 saw the entry of artists like Buju Banton, Bounty Killer, Lady Saw, Shaggy, Diana King, Spragga Benz, Capleton, Beenie Man and a major shift in the sound of dancehall, brought on by the introduction of a new generation of producers and for better or for worse, the end of Steely & Clevie's stranglehold on riddim production.
In the late 1990s, many practitioners like Buju Banton and Capleton returned to the Rastafari movement and changed their lyrical focus to "consciousness", a reflection of the spiritual underpinnings of Rastafari.
The early 2000s saw the success of newer charting acts such as Elephant Man and Sean Paul.
Currently, Sean Paul has achieved mainstream success within the United States and has produced several Top 10 Billboard hits, including "We Be Burnin'", "Get Busy", "Temperature" and the 2006 single "Give It Up To Me".
VP Records dominates the dancehall music market with Sean Paul, Elephant Man, and Buju Banton. VP often has partnered with major record labels like Atlantic and Island in an attempt to further expand their distribution potential particularly in the U.S. market.
The Culture of Dancehall
Dancehall music originated in the late 70s in Jamaica, as a result of varying political and socio-economic factors. Its antecedent; reggae music, was influenced heavily by the ideologies of the Rastafarian culture and was further goaded by the socialist movements of the era. Many became embittered by the movements and the harsh economic realities they brought the island to bear. It was during this time that neo-liberal axioms and avariciousness began factoring into the lives of many Jamaicans, which subsequently spawned this ostentatious new form of entertainment.
Typically, dance halls are found in more urbanized areas of Jamaica, i.e., Kingston, but can also be seen in more rural locations. Furthermore, the term 'dancehall' alludes not only to a musical genre or venue, but on a grander scheme, it suggests the institution of an entire culture in which music, dance, community and politics collide.
As an evolution of first reggae, then rocksteady, dancehall draws upon its roots with regard to its stylistic rudiments. However, that, some say, is where the similarities end. The subject matters of dancehall music tend towards profanity, misogyny, violence and homophobia - a stark contrast from the songs of acceptance and social progression sung by reggae spearheads. Its caustic libretti, which are referred to in the region as "slack lyrics", have been rigorously criticized - most notably by artists and followers of archetypal reggae music, and by members of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender community (GLBT).
Such a drastic change in the popular music of the region generated an equally radical transformation in fashion trends, specifically those of its female faction. In lieu of traditional, modest "rootsy" styles, as dictated by Rastafari-inspired gender roles; women began donning flashy, revealing - sometimes x-rated outfits. This transformation is said to coincide with the influx of slack lyrics within dancehall, which objectified women as apparatuses of pleasure. These women would team up with others to form "modeling possess", or "dancehall model" groups, and informally compete with their rivals.
This newfound materialism and conspicuity was not, however, exclusive to women or manner of dress. Appearance at dance halls was exceedingly important to acceptance by peers and encompassed everything from clothing and jewelry, to the types of vehicles driven, to the sizes of each respective gang or "crew", and was equally important to both sexes.
One major theme behind dancehall is that of Space. Stanley Niaah in his article "Mapping Black Atlantic Performance Geographies" says "Dancehall occupies multiple spacial dimensions (urban, street, police, marginal, gendered, performance, liminal, memorializing, communal), which are revealed through the nature and type of events and venues, and their use and function. Most notable is the way in which dancehall occupies a liminal space between what is celebrated ant at the same time denigrated in Jamaica and how it moves from private community to public and commercial enterprise.

However, it looks like Walmart will only be carrying the $499 16GB WiFi-only version of the iPad. It will be available in both white and black, but it's not clear whether Walmart will be offering the 4G LTE version as well. Other places that will start selling the new iPad tomorrow morning, include Best Buy, RadioShack, Sams Club, and Target. Make sure to check out our full review of the new iPad.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- In response to critics who complain of a bloated bureaucracy, the state Board of Education is defending the size of the department it oversees.
Last year, a comprehensive audit of the state's education system found that the state Department of Education was oversized and recommended a "comprehensive re-thinking" of its organization.
With a series of graphs showing the ratio of department employees to students, the report said the department employed too many administrators for too few students and should be trimmed and reorganized to operate efficiently.
At Wednesday's board meeting, President Wade Linger countered with his own figures in a department-prepared report meant to "address the perception and the narrative that the WVDE is bloated and overcrowded, and all the different ways of saying it."
That report, which Linger also has been presenting to lawmakers, is in essence a breakdown of the department's personnel figures. He's trying to explain the breakdown and justify the numbers.
The issue is the number of full-time employees - the number used in the audit to generate a student-to-administrator ratio that it said was one of the lowest and least efficient in the country.
When the education audit was published, the department had 319 full-time employees dedicated to oversight of K-12 education. Since then the number has dropped to 298. With 283,000 students in West Virginia schools, that's a ratio of 887 students per administrator.
But Linger is arguing that 319 - or 298 - is the wrong number to use.
He thinks the number should be more like 43.
