Town Square
Density is a matter of perspective
Original post made by Elizabeth Lasensky on Dec 15, 2006
My current 1-bedroom apartment has perhaps 700 square feet of living space and it's very efficient and cozy. It's also close to shopping and transit, which is why I chose to live there.
So when I hear that the Derry Project will have 135 condo's per acre,is close to transit and shopping, and that the 1-bedroom units will have 900 square feet of space, I don't respond in the same way as those who have had the good fortune to live in single family homes all of their lives. These are all pluses in my book.
Contrary to an article that Andy Cohen read at City Council on Tuesday, the many apartment dwellers I know who live in Menlo Park are happy and well-adjusted. I suspect we take transit and walk or ride our bikes more often than most. What we tend not to have is an annual income of $200,000 that is now needed to purchase a home in San Mateo County.
And as our community's demographics change, we can expect to see a certain number of Menlo's senior home owners wishing to trade in their expensive-to-maintain homes for more compact, easy to manage condo and rental apartment units.
Density, like quality of life, means different things to different people. I hope our community that is dominated by single home dwellers can make room for those of us who see quality of life in other ways.

Elizabeth, I understand that you like living in a small space, and apparently you have found a home that meets your needs. But you do not explain why Menlo Park should be obligated to provide housing for others who may share your preferences. The exodus from California continues, and the main reason people leave is that they cannot afford to buy traditional houses here. I suspect there are already plenty of housing units located by the railroad tracks for anyone who wants that lifestyle; no need for Menlo Park to add more.
on Dec 18, 2006 at 2:24 pm
Dear Not a Socialist,
You do not have to be a socialist to understand that diversity in income levels exists in all cities. Many people who want to move to Menlo Park actually have high incomes and education levels--but they were not lucky enough to have been in a position to buy houses when the supply and price were reasonable, or to have inherited a house from their parents, or to have married someone who had a house. It is not fair or wise to lock out so many people just because a few homeowners think the city should not increase its housing supply--regardless of the desires of other residents and property owners, including those whose property could be developed.
There are not that many housing units near the railroad in Menlo Park, most are single family homes.
As long as developers are reasonable and work with the city planning department to create sustainable projects, we can easily welcome more people into our community and maintain our quality of life. The debate about increasing the housing supply in Menlo Park isn't about socialism so much as it is about selfishness.
on Dec 18, 2006 at 3:52 pm
Amen, sister!
If Not a Socialist had his/her way, all of us renters would have to wear giant scarlet Rs on our chests so that quality, home-owning people wouldn't mistakenly treat us like we belong in Menlo Park.

It's been a while since we've spotted a good fake BlackBerry, but this time around all the work was done for us. Forums member Superfly_FR posted up this Photoshop of the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha sporting a full QWERTY keyboard. As noted in the forums post, there is certainly enough room for a standard BlackBerry keyboard (I'm down with a Bold 9900 keyboard on this baby). As RIM CEO Thorstein Heins said at BlackBerry World, we'll still see BlackBerry devices with a physical keyboard, so maybe down the road this won't be too far fetched.
What do you think of this design? Is it good? Bad? Ugly? Sound off in the comments!
ILUMINATIUNDEAD May 24, 2012 at 6:37 pm
I don't know about the keyboard one!
jasperlin May 25, 2012 at 8:10 am
people gotta understand that a phone like that won't be comfortable to hold. he bottom lip is too short, the keyboard will be annoying to type on b/c the weight of the thing is too far off balance.
think of how it is to type on the torch slider vs. any other berry. the torch sllider is too top heavy. i've gotta put extra effort into holding the top b/c of the uneven weight distribution. other phones, not a problem.
anyone agree or disagree?
rcm1301 May 25, 2012 at 9:04 am
you nailed it. If they figure that out, it will be a winner.
knightfall May 25, 2012 at 9:24 am
I never put much thought into it, but you know you're right. Typing the Torch hasn't been as nice as my old Bold 9000, but I thought it was just the small keyboard area. But yes, the balance is off and probably does have a negative effect on typing.
Good call.
BBThemes May 25, 2012 at 10:18 am
Agree and disagree. Ur right about the keyboard spacing from the bottom, but the balance arguement is flawed. If it would be too 'top heavy' for typing, the what ur saying is the dev alpha currently is too top heavy for portrait typing. That of course isn't correct, and I like typing on mine in portrait. It gets even worse for ur theory as they physical weight to the keyboard would actually lower the center of gravity of the device, so it would be perfectly fine.
Of course this debate is pointless as its a mockup, but u see my point I hope. The torch is made 'top heavy' by the center of gravity moving when you open it. A non sliding device the same dimensions as a full touch with no moving parts wouldn't suffer that issue.
Bob G May 25, 2012 at 10:33 am
I don't care if it is "top heavy" if I could have both a keyboard and a good touch screen.
cjb44 May 25, 2012 at 12:34 pm
I disagree, I never found my torch to be top heavy. The weight is towards the middle anyway because the top is lighters. Plus the bigger screen with a keyboard makes it easier to view than a Bold. (I can read more of an email before scrolling, I like that)
I'l hoping that the BB 10 is a slider. It makes more sense to keep the screen at the same ratio as a touch screen model instead of having two different size screens.
BionicKris May 27, 2012 at 5:55 pm
I have no balance issues while using my Torch slider's keyboard. It might have a slightly different balance if you do a back to back from a Bold directly to a Torch slider. IMHO, it doesn't seem like much of a change to me in daily use.
Ebscer May 24, 2012 at 6:41 pm
BB10 navigation is going to require a bezel at the bottom of the screen as well...
wxmancanada May 24, 2012 at 8:15 pm
I thought it was location gesture based, not bezel based...
123berryaddicted May 24, 2012 at 6:46 pm
Cool... I like the concept.
playbookster May 24, 2012 at 6:50 pm
Hopefully they find a way for the qwerty model screen to be the same aspect ratio and resolution as the all touch model. Making it as easy as possible to develop for is essential.
shabbs May 24, 2012 at 6:51 pm
Add the trackpad and normal buttons and we have a winner.
And for the LOVE OF GOD!!!! Please, have at least two convenience keys.
Thank you.
AceDeuce May 24, 2012 at 7:02 pm
Amen to two convenience keys!!!
shabbs May 25, 2012 at 7:48 am
Amen brother.
Bob G May 25, 2012 at 10:37 am
Agree. The track pad and the 4 dedicated buttons make it so much more productive, and they set Blackberry apart from the competition. Without them, it is just another "me too" Android-wanna-be.
Forget Galaxy3, Iphone5, Nexus, or whatever... *THIS* is the phone I want.
mssca May 24, 2012 at 10:18 pm
People at the company known as RIM are not as smart as you. So, I don't think the RIM's hardware engineering people can beat Samsung or Apple. I am sad too..... :(
AceDeuce May 24, 2012 at 7:01 pm
I want the new BlackBerry 10 to have a slider like the Torch so I can have my beloved keyboard. I won't be sporting a phone without buttons.
Totally agree with you. I want a Torch version of BB10
Maxey05 May 24, 2012 at 7:05 pm
They better come out with a keyboard or they are going to lose majority of there customers. They should just make it like the Torch. That seems like the only way they can keep the screen ratios FULL HD!
123berryaddicted May 24, 2012 at 7:15 pm
In case you haven't noticed, they already are losing the majority of their customers... RIM's focus on an awesome full touch is the right approach to the market, and they have already confirmed that they will *also* have a traditional style BB10, so all will be happy.
Nefiasm May 25, 2012 at 6:22 am
"In case you haven't noticed, they already are losing the majority of their customers.." that's amazing... so can you tell me how in their last call why their subscriber base went up? - as in gained more customers - Market share is going down that doesn't mean you have lost customers.
But anyway I am looking forward to BB 10.
jechow May 24, 2012 at 7:11 pm
I would like a 9900 keyboard on the next bb10 device BUT I am not sure if it is possible. The device would have limited appeal for playing games horizontally and when used in portrait mode there maybe balance issues when typing. These comments have been stated before by other CB members.
Spencerdl May 24, 2012 at 7:09 pm
I like it, almost any BlackBerry with a keypad grabs my attention :).
chaosdivine May 24, 2012 at 7:11 pm
I'm a current Torch 9810 user. I would buy a landscape slider with full horizontal Blackberry esque keyboard in a heartbeat. The Torch keyboard as it is is simply too small for most male hands - though you sort of get used to it. I realize a horizontal slider wouldn't exactly be torch like in name/spirit so name it something else if you must, but that's my future phone if it comes out. Don't even get me started trying to type on a 3.2" touchscreen screen in portrait mode...
sleepngbear May 24, 2012 at 7:26 pm
Oh yes. I'd jump on this with a landscape slider in a heartbeat.
Darlaten May 24, 2012 at 7:10 pm
I guess I'm at the point in my life where I'd much rather have the larger screen surface then sacrificing it for a physical keyboard.
I'm also hopefully that RIM doesn't release a myriad of screen sizes/resolutions for the BB10 phones as has occurred with all of the previous phones. From what I hear from developers, this makes it substantially more difficult to develop for.
Having the same screen, standardized, on all phones - touch only/keyboard only - would be much better for developers.
Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes May 24, 2012 at 7:15 pm
As far as this fantasy fake render goes...I love the keyboard on my bold 9900, just like the 9000 one as they are the same. But for a phone dropping end of 2012/start of 2013 its time to get some new design language onto the keyboard and not use the same one as four years ago. Specifically because bb10 is a completely new blackberry OS and a new beginning for RIM. Keep functionality or try to improve it *somehow* but change the look to make it appear new and different.
kupfernigk May 25, 2012 at 3:55 am
There really isn't much you can do to the BB keyboard that won't make it less good. The key shapes and layout are there for a reason: ergonomics. Real ergonomics, not "how can we claim stroking a flat slab is ergonomic?"
But big screens are also ergonomic: 120mm diagonal seems about the biggest that fits into a sane size of phone and also doesn't require too much finger movement, while displaying sufficient information.
The combination of keyboard and large screen is very, very difficult to solve. This, I imagine, is the real reason that you won't be seeing one for a while.
D_shak May 24, 2012 at 7:22 pm
As much as I like the full keyboard I think it is important first to maintain the same screen aspect ratio to get and KEEP developers.
playpen007 May 24, 2012 at 7:27 pm
I believed if there is going to have the physical keyboard, it must be a slider. It cans slide vertical/horizontal.
lynxs_claw May 24, 2012 at 7:27 pm
I hate to lose the big screen that they have on the full touchscreen device. Would prefer a slide out keyboard. I'm use to my Torch and the nice size touchscreen. It may be easiier to incorporate a slide while maintainig the same size front screen and bezel. Hopefully, they can incorporate the swype banner across the bottom once the keyboard slides out so you can maintain the efficiency of your typing.
Again, keep the screen as big as possible (4.2") while maintaning the phone's portability.
ayekon May 24, 2012 at 7:34 pm
Begin the phablet wars
antheauxny May 24, 2012 at 7:41 pm
It actually looks really nice.
Now...if it was white, YES!
I hope RIM releases white versions of the BB10 phones at the same time of the normal black ones. Especially for Sprint. ^_^
Plazmic Flame May 24, 2012 at 8:11 pm
I will take 5 right now, where do I send the monies?
axllebeer May 24, 2012 at 8:13 pm
I'm really looking forward to a slider at this point. I'm loving my Bold 9930, it when it comes to BlackBerry 10, I know I will want screen almost above keyboard. So for me it will be full touch or better yet, a slider that has a keyboard closer to the 99xx rather than the current Torch 9810.
moyjoy May 24, 2012 at 8:22 pm
seems like it would be off balance for typing... too top heavy.
Superfly_FR May 25, 2012 at 3:15 am
That's absolutely right ... even the reason why I don't like portrait sliders. Also the reason I wrote :"Imagine the keyboard can slide from top to bottom" ;-) then you can adjust it exactly to fit you needs ...
Jonathank May 24, 2012 at 8:44 pm
not bad not bad at all
seageath May 24, 2012 at 8:45 pm
Need bigger screen ........
Mr Bigs May 24, 2012 at 9:05 pm
I'd prefer to keep the 9900's current format factor or a little taller and wider with the same design. I have a Playbook so a larger screen isn't necessary.
Notorious27 May 24, 2012 at 9:06 pm
A bigger screen and a great physical keyboard is now necessary imho.
xtremez May 24, 2012 at 10:04 pm
Time for a slider :p
TheEliteOne May 24, 2012 at 10:25 pm
It's ugly!! Pleaseeee keep the track pad!!!
guerllamo7 May 24, 2012 at 10:37 pm
The truth is that this is an example of what was wrong with the Motorola Pro. They had a larger screen and a poor attempt at a BlackBerry keyboard. However, even if it were as good a keyboard the idea of jamming two good things together and creating something better did not work on this one.
The reason the BlackBerry Bold is so awesome is largely ergonomic and also the weight/balance factors. By enlarging the screen the balance point on the device just shifted and the natural feel of our BlackBerry Bold was lost.
I realize the BB10 is in many ways the future but compromising two good ideas may not result in one better product unless it is carefully thought out and designed to perfection. I believe this may be a factor that has caused some delays in the past.
BB10 is going to be a completely new device (sure it will have the security, BBM, get'er done attitude, push everything all the time, etc., but the guts are just the next generation) and when BB releases one with a real keyboard it needs to be a work of art, like the Bold 9900. Just awesome.
erhan8 May 24, 2012 at 11:08 pm
I know this is a photo shop but I really don't like it. Looks too small. All those wanting a physical keyboard are going to miss out on the awesome new touch screen keyboard software. I'm sure RIM can make it functional on the physical device but the experience probably won't be the same.
BB_Bmore May 24, 2012 at 11:14 pm
Rim can do better much better.
digitalhomeboy May 24, 2012 at 11:16 pm
Oh c'mon now, who's trying to copy my BlackBerry TK Victory concept? Remember where you saw it first! ;) ^DigitalHomeBoy
Superfly_FR May 25, 2012 at 3:21 am
The great BlackBerry TK Victory concept was more a Bold form factor, I guess. The illustration by itself has no real sense here, I was just playing/wondering around with keyboard considerations. As noted, there will be a bad balance point and - unless the rotating keyboard appears - a screen resolution puzzle :).
(to all) Please remember it's a 20 minutes photoshop fun, not a concept by itself !
erekshun May 25, 2012 at 9:35 am
You are right, your concept was hot and I hope RIM adopts it in their next phone!!
BerryRipe May 24, 2012 at 11:20 pm
I really wish the users could help build a BB 10 phone. We have some of the most insightful ideas. I love the TK VICTORY although it looked funny without the call, menu, trackpad buttons, but I'm sure I'd get used to it. It was also too thin in my opinion. Basically I would like to see a 99xx but 21mm taller and 5mm wider, slim down the call-menu-track pad buttons down 3mm to provide not only a larger screen but a more powerful processor and an exceptional battery life, oh and let's not forget the auto focus camera. Since I'm at it why not have a second led light, second convenience key and second speaker. That completes my BB 10 dream phone.
mjgallaway May 24, 2012 at 11:23 pm
They need a cool look to their devices like the Blackberry Blade. I don't want a phone that looks like Apple or Android.
all3n7 May 24, 2012 at 11:41 pm
Just give me the dev alpha phone and im happy with it. Perfect size, thickness is good, so it has enough space for a longer battery and fully auto camera...
Griffin2012 May 24, 2012 at 11:42 pm
I would buy one. I don't think typing on that phone would be a problem. My PlayBook is much bigger and I manage to type on it just fine. I don't think I can wait for the qwerty version and we know full touch version will be released first.
tang63 May 25, 2012 at 12:15 am
LOL. nice concept design. Maybe a touch up of here and there of the keyboard and it may well sell well.
siddo_d May 25, 2012 at 1:46 am
That fake isn't that bad :)
Chopper110 May 25, 2012 at 2:57 am
I would take six of the fake design right now.
Superfly_FR May 25, 2012 at 5:01 am
*blush* thanks for the encouraging comments :). Also, I really didn't expect to hit the news, thanks Adam.
mzceetee May 25, 2012 at 7:32 am
*Sigh* to bad its fake-Love this concept of it....
mikeo007 May 25, 2012 at 7:49 am
Ahhh...kill it with fire! What a terribly outdated looking device.
Rootbrian May 26, 2012 at 2:50 pm
1. It's fake.
2. Running windows CE or android
3. Shut up, none of RIM's devices are outdated. You just cannot appreciate anything.
Jaredius May 25, 2012 at 9:31 am
I hope not. Not sure about folks' eyesight but that is the worst I've seen yet. It's even uglier than the 9981.
Simple...take the current 9900 and move the keypad, function keys and trackpad down until the spacebar is at the exact bottom edge of the phone. Then stretch the screen vertically so the bottom touches the top of the function keys and trackpad, and the top touches the ear-speaker. Then stretch the screen horizontally so the edges touch the exact edges of the phone. Done.
To put it short, maximize the 9900's real-estate to allow for the larger screen and the resolution needed to be equivalent to that of the full-touch and the PB (higher dpi but same res).
DavidsonLee May 25, 2012 at 10:20 am
If only the dimensions were of the Bold 9900's then I'd really consider the fake one LOL
derekjdech May 26, 2012 at 8:18 pm
Looks fine, but I prefer the earlier Blade concept. That's one phone I would take in a heartbeat.

Red Arrows unable to perform at this year's Swanage Carnival - but organisers say "we will survive"
6:20am Friday 17th January 2014 in News By Jim Durkin
THE Red Arrows display team will not perform at this year's Swanage Regatta and Carnival Week, it has been confirmed.
Carnival secretary Linda Welsh was informed the RAF aces would be unable to attend the Swanage event this summer because of their packed schedule.
As Britain gears up to mark the World War One centenary, it has transpired the dates of Swanage Regatta and Carnival Week clash with a number of military events, Linda told the Daily Echo.
She added: "It is extremely disappointing, as they really are our headline act for the week. But we're not going to let it get us down, we will find something to give enjoyment to the crowds in their place."
Last year around a quarter of a million people flocked to Swanage for the carnival events, injecting millions of pounds into the local tourist economy. Thousands of visitors packed out the seafront to watch the daring skills of the Red Arrows pilots. This year's carnival theme is 'Celebrating Britain'. Linda doesn't expect any problems re-booking the Red Arrows in 2015 though. She said: "Yes it is disappointing for this year, but I was on the phone yesterday to them and it is clear they're rather tied up in 2014.
"They always do their best to come to Swanage. They came here for the first time in 1989, then we had a spell when we didn't apply, but they've been regular performers for the past eight or nine years.
"Swanage is one of their favourite venues as they have this natural amphitheatre to perform over. The bay, with the headland either side, is just perfect for them."
An executive meeting of Swanage's carnival committee was due to take place last night where discussions would start on what to book in place of the Red Arrows this year.
"You cannot really compete with the Red Arrows though," said Linda. "However, we will find something. One way or the other, we will survive."

Fred Fernackerpan says...
Dozens, or perhaps hundreds, of other acts and activities will have been booked already to appear during the week. Most of the accommodation in Swanage will have been booked up for that week since the same time last year. Changing the date now is not really an option.
Carnival will still be great, and we'll enjoy the Red Arrows even more when they do come in 2015!!

Atomic weapons plant admits failings
An atomic weapons plant has been accused of failing to protect its staff during a fire at the Berkshire base three years ago.
In a prosecution brought by the Health & Safety Executive, the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) at Aldermaston today pleaded guilty to one charge of not ensuring the safety of employees.
One worker suffered burns to his face and arm in the fire which broke out in the building where explosives were being manufactured, in August 2010. Kate Bunkall sent this report from Reading Crown Court.

By John Funk on Sep 17, 2013 09.17.13

While there is also some in-cockpit footage and a bit that shows off the game's store and customization options, the vast majority of the video focuses on robots blowing each other up.

Sarah was an excellent sport and shared her dad's passion for BattleTech." Sarah died in May, in Vancouver. More information here.

MechWarrior Online leaves beta 'late summer,' adding guild and faction combat, 12v12 battles and new UI

"We do have a launch date, or at least a fairly defined launch window, and that is late summer," Piranha Games president and cofounder Russ Bullock told Polygon of his studio's free-to-play title, MechWarrior Online. The game is currently in an open beta, so the release of version 1.0 is as much a marketing milestone as a software milestone. "Of course between here and late summer, we'll have countless updates to the game but there are three in particular that I want to talk about," he said. The first is the match sizes. "Right now the game is 8 versus 8, so you have eight mechs per side," he said. "But in the next 60 days, roughly, we'll be going to 12 versus 12. So you'll have a full company of BattleMechs, which is BattleTech nerd talk for 12 mechs." The second is what Piranha is...

INDIANAPOLIS — The Challenger Learning Center in Decatur had one of its largest tour groups come through the facility Friday when the West Side Chamber of Commerce came to visit.
The group met several staff members from the Metropolitan School District of Decatur Township, including Patty Poehler, the district's director of outreach.
"In my three years, we've not had this many people in the dome," Poehler said. "We are very excited to have you here. It's important for us to connect with the business community."
Following several tours through Mission Control and the Flight Simulator, members of the chamber settled in the "Holladome."
Rick Proctor, president of the West Side Chamber of Commerce, serves on an advisory board for the Challenger Learning Center.
"Boy, this is such a nice place," he said. "Many people don't even know the center is here."
He explained that Holladay Properties operates AmeriPlex, where the center is located. The large dome meeting room was named "Holladome" in the company's honor.
"This is such a unique location," Proctor said. "I've been excited for several months for us to come here."
Proctor is vice-president of BMO Harris and said he has been encouraging his management team to do a corporate mission at the Challenger Learning Center.
As head commander Cyndy Meier said, the facility is generally used to educate children, but the curriculum doesn't end there.
"The center is not just for kids," she said. "We do adult missions and enjoy having corporate partners come in."
The center welcomes groups from businesses, non-profits, clubs, or just about any group that may want to visit.
The Challenger Learning Center was opened in Decatur Township nine years ago. It recently had upgrades on its equipment.
There are 50 Challenger Learning Centers around the world with three of them being in Indiana at Brownsburg, Hammond, and Decatur Township.
"It was 25 years ago that the Challenger was lost," Meier said. "During that mission, we lost an educator. Many of the spouses of the crew were also educators. They wanted to start a few centers like this one in Texas."
She said the idea caught on and centers started opening all around the world.
The MSD of Decatur Township has integrated the center into its curriculum. All fifth- and seventh-grade students do a mission at the center.
"We exist to help students put their academics to the real world," Meier said. "Teachers get the students ready before they come. When they get here, they're in charge."
Each mission takes about two hours to complete. During the exercise, participants in groups of between 20 to 34 take on a role with a mission to complete in space.
Dr. Debbie Sullivan, the district's new superintendent, told chamber members that the center is just one way the district is striving to teach to the 21st Century.
Corporate groups who would like more information on missions may call 856-2167.

That was a HUGE gaping hole in this guys chest (*actually, its his back, just happens to be, umm, hairy) that the doc cut out. I don't understand why people insist on cutting these huge holes and removing skin. They can get the same outcome from making a smaller incision, WITHOUT having a giant scar later.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) - A retired military dog who served twice in Iraq has died after being struck by a vehicle in Montana. The 7-year-old, explosives-detecting German shepherd named Natz died Monday after being hit outside East Helena. Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Brian Inman tells the Independent Record (http://bit.ly/1aaO8yp) that the driver in his 70s from Helena pulled Natz off the road and reported the accident to authorities. Inman says the man reported being blinded by oncoming headlights, and that he felt even worse after finding out about Natz's background. The man isn't being cited. Rachel Weidner says she received Natz in May to fulfill a dream of acquiring a retired military dog. She says Monday was the first time he went missing. Natz retired in the spring because of post-traumatic stress disorder. (Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Celebrating the International Year for People of African Descent
Julissa Reynoso / January 18, 2011
The General Assemblies of the United Nations and the Organization of American States
have declared 2011 the International Year for People of African Descent. During this
momentous year, the U.S. Department of State will collaborate bilaterally and regionally
to expand our efforts to promote full and equal participation of people of African
descent in all aspects of political, economic, social, and cultural life in the countries
of the Americas.It is estimated that one third of the population in the Western Hemisphere is of African
descent. They contribute to our culturally rich and racially diverse region. The largest
populations are in Brazil, Colombia, and the United States. People of African descent
comprise the majority racial group in the Caribbean, and are a large minority in most
countries of the region. Yet they suffer deep inequalities and comprise one of the
most historically excluded and vulnerable racial groups.During the United Nations launch of the International Year for People of African Descent
on December 10, 2010, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon recognized that although "the
international community has affirmed…the transatlantic slave trade [as] an appalling
tragedy…even today, Africans and people of African descent continue to suffer the
consequences of these acts." Analyzing the origins of residual racial discrimination
against people of African descent is part of our expanded efforts for 2011 and beyond
to cultivate more advanced racial and social inclusion practices in the region.Recently, Brazilian and United States law enforcement practitioners, members of civil
society, and government officials toured the Word, Shout, Song exhibit at the Smithsonian
Anacostia Community Museum showcasing African historical, language, and cultural links
among Afro-Brazilians and Gullah-Americans (African Americans off the Georgia and
South Carolina coast with a strong preservation of their African cultural and historical
heritage). The multi-ethnic group of Brazilians and Americans was captivated by the
commonalities in the history of people of African descent. This kind of cross-cultural
experience serves to strengthen our commitment to promote racial equality and equal
access to justice through the U.S.-Brazil Joint Action Plan to Eliminate Racial and Ethnic Discrimination.Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton affirmed that "Our nation's quest for freedom, justice, and opportunity must take place simultaneously
here at home and around the world. Because our ability to stand for democracy in other
countries depends, in part, on how well we fulfill the dream of democracy right here...And
as we work to strengthen existing friendships, we have to demonstrate, by word and
deed, our commitment to the full diversity of America, because that is one of our
strongest strengths."In 2011, the Department of State will further explore our shared regional African
Diaspora roots; create awareness of and respect for the diverse heritage, culture,
and contributions of Afro-descendents; and participate in diverse forums to advance
the rights of people of African descent. As we embark on the International Year for
People of African Descent, we look forward to partnering with our diverse region to
build a foundation for the integration of people of African descent in all political,
economic, social, and cultural aspects of society.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office reports that three people have been placed under arrest after they were caught in the middle of a home burglary.
Officials say that the DCSO, the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office, and the South Lake Tahoe Police Department worked together to identify and disrupt a residential burglary in progress in the Valley Crest Estates residential neighborhood, located in North Douglas County.
The three suspects were still in the process of burglarizing the residence when investigators and officers arrived and placed them under arrest. They have been identified as 44-year-old Jeffrey Lee Stephens, 45-year-old Jean Rene Winters and 48-year-old Joseph Alan Winters. All three live in South Lake Tahoe.
Investigators say that the three suspects may be linked to several other residential burglaries throughout the region, and are asking anyone who has seen or spoken with the suspects or seen their white 2000 Ford Explorer in their neighborhood call and report it to (775) 782-9905.

The Empire Theatre was located within the walls of the Rex Theatre, which was gutted by fire in 1943. Due to wartime restrictions on construction, rebuilding was delayed until permission was granted by the War Production Board. The February 17, 1945, issue of Boxoffice Magazine reported that the board had authorized rebuilding to continue. A spring, 1945 opening was expected.
After the Empire was closed, the theater was converted to retail space for three shops, and the former stage was used for storage until it was converted into a dance studio, which it remains today.

Great Desk
Andre from Boston, MA– Verified Buyer
This desk, after assembly, looks fabulous and is very functional. The assembly is slightly on the more difficult side, as attaching the bottom to the top desk area required power tools to accomplish. Also, an error made by the manufacturer, one vital piece was originally not shipped, but after a quick call to Jamie and the customer support team, the replacement part was promptly shipped out. I would certainly recommend this to a colleague or friend.
I'm glad I kept looking!
Jobless in CA from Fullerton, CA– Verified Buyer
After 2 weeks of searching extensively online at the library and in stores, I'm glad I didn't buy any other desk. This one is perfect for my needs. I just lost my job and needed to buy a computer for home to search for jobs. I needed a small, simple desk with just a single, flat top to give me the maximum amount of room for a printer, monitor and speakers since I only had a 4 ft. space for it in a bedroom and this desk is great. There's plenty of room for my legs under the desk and I can push the chair under it when not using it. I definitely chose the right desk. I did need help from a friend, however, to hold parts while assemblying it.
good to very good
Dr. Jay from Brewster, NY– Verified Buyer
Sturdy, nice curved surface and corners, nice surface for a synthetic. Kids can't poke their eyes on the corners! Downside - keyboard drawer kind of small, shakey and flimsy.
High Quality but no Keyboard Lock

An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC looks at the horrible situation in Ferguson, MO and what it says about where we are and where we're going.
Much progress has been made in representing African-American life onscreen, but there's a long way to go.
An updated list of the theatrical venues and VOD platforms currently screening "Life Itself."
"The Possession" is a serious horror film about supernatural possession that depends on more than loud noises to scare us. Like "The Exorcist," the best film in the genre, it is inspired by some degree of religious scholarship and creates believable characters in a real world. That religions take demonic possessions seriously makes them more fun for us, the unpossessed.
The possession of the title is an actual object, a dark wood box, ingeniously locked shut. It has a carved inscription in Hebrew informing the finder that the box entraps a dybbuk, an evil spirit that will cleave to the soul of anyone unlucky enough to release it. Dybbuks are a familiar element in Jewish folklore.
After a startling opening sequence in "The Possession," the box turns up in what is actually a likely place, a yard sale. It is purchased by a young girl named Emily (Natasha Calis), who lives with her sister, Hannah (Madison Davenport), and their father, Clyde (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), after his divorce from the girls' mother, Stephanie (Kyra Sedgwick).
All of this unfolds as a plausible narrative and doesn't depend on a young girl's hysteria or tragedy between her parents (that comes later). It is just as it's billed: A dybbuk box, inspired in fact by an actual box described in a well-known article published in the Los Angeles Times. Whether the real box caused the phenomena on display in the film I somehow doubt, but I don't want to open it in order to find out.
The father and two girls have just moved into a new suburban house, one of those places with fresh paint and empty rooms; its very sterility makes a contrast with the Old World gloom of a dybbuk. After opening the box, Emily begins to act strangely, becomes fiercely possessive about the box, disturbs her father and teachers, and inspires her mother to suspect and mistrust her ex-husband. Kyra Sedgwick and Jeffrey Dean Morgan play the couple with firm realism and without showy histrionics. One of the scariest things about "The Possession" is that the characters are all real before Emily begins to change.
The film, directed by Ole Bornedal, makes the contents of the box macabre without going nuts with special effects. There's also a small container holding a curious mechanical insectoid object, various other obscure artifacts, and somehow most frightening of all — moths, lots of moths. Moths in a box sealed for centuries are far more sinister than CGI dragons and suchlike.
In a fascinating second act, Clyde consults a Jewish professor at the school where he coaches basketball, learns the translation of the words carved on the box and seeks help from a community of Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn. A group of old men in a synagogue fearfully puts distance between themselves and the box. But the rabbi's younger son, Tzadok (Matisyahu), believes it's his duty to help when a life is in danger, and this leads to a frightening attempt at exorcism.
Matisyahu makes a sympathetic exorcist. I looked him up. He bills himself as the Hasidic Reggae Superstar. Apparently in real life he has some problems with dybbuks. But he's effective here, as an earnest young man who sings along with his iPod but has also absorbed much theological lore from his father.
The scene where he goes mano a mano with the dybbuk will remind lots of people of Max von Sydow's face to face with a demon in "The Exorcist." Comparisons can be made with Linda Blair's suffering in that film, and Natasha Calis' tortured performance here. Fair enough. "The Exorcist" has influenced a lot of films, and this is one of the better ones.

She had a strong commitment to teaching, beginning her career in a small two-teacher school, Oak Grove, near Nauvoo.

— Generally, it is assumed that unemployment results partly from a lack of job opportunities and partly from a lack of qualified job seekers.
While the confluence of these factors foments joblessness, the phenomenon can be exacerbated by a raw lack of communication, even in this information age of ubiquitous media platforms. Basically, qualified people reside in the market and job opportunities are available, but the one side isn't aware of the other. Thus, the unemployed remain oblivious to jobs, and companies with job opportunities remain oblivious to the depth of the workforce.
Job fairs neatly bridge this disconnect by bringing job seekers and employee seekers together in one physical location to match needs to qualifications. The job fair June 6 at Madison Park Church of God in Anderson is a great example. More than 1,100 folks looking for new employment attended the fair, where they met face to face with representatives of 52 companies with 700 job openings.
A wide range of employers and occupations were represented, from information technology to truck driving to medical and finance professionals.
The jobs are located in Madison and contiguous counties, and also Marion County. It was Madison County's first large-sclae job fair of 2008, which begs the question of why so much time passed between fairs.
Madison County's unemployment rate continues to run higher than the state and national averages. In April, the last month for which numbers are available, the county's rate was 9.6, the state's 8.0 and the nation's 7.1.
If a third of those who attended the job fair Thursday found a job or a better job, it would make a significant impact on the local economy. When folks have jobs, of course, they have more money to spend on local goods and services.
Matt Carson of Alliance One, a collections and customer service provider located at The Flagship Center in Anderson, was pleasantly surprised by the attendance at the job fair. He estimated that he received 50 resumes within the first hour.
That's a great way for companies to find the right people for job openings — and a great way for job seekers to gain employment.
In summary Job fairs neatly bridge a disconnect by bringing job seekers and employee seekers together in one physical location to match needs to qualifications.

The New England Patriots are the early favorites in Super Bowl XLVI, getting -3 over the New York Giants in the Feb. 5 game in Indianapolis.
After two low-scoring conference championship games where the defenses were in control, the odds-makers expect more of a shoot-out in the Super Bowl, projecting both the Giants and the Patriots to score in the mid-to-high 20's.
In a season that became known as the "Year of the QB" as passing offenses around the NFL shattered every conceivable record, it's fitting that the two teams left are pass-oriented squads who depend on the late game heroics of their star QB's.
Both Tom Brady and Eli Manning could have big games in a rematch of Super Bowl XLII, although a good portion of the New York defensive line (Osi Umenyiora, Justin Tuck and Mathias Kiwanuka) that gave the Patriots offense so much trouble four years ago is still there.
For more odds and lines on prop bets for the Super Bowl, be sure to visit SB Nation's Odds Partners at OddShark.com.

The road rage video out of Carteret County has sparked all kinds of buzz, but would you know what to do if someone with road rage was following you?
"I changed lanes going around another car, changed back, the next thing you know he was like right up next to me, rolling his window down like pointing down, 'I'm going to kick your a**'" said one of the victims of the road rage fight.
During a 911 call he said Bradley Turner followed them for miles before getting out and starting the fight.
"I didn't instigate nothing, we drove the whole time he stayed on my a** riding my truck, tailgating the whole time," the victim said.
So what should you do before you find yourself in this situation?
9 On Your Side road along with NC Highway Patrol to find out.
Trooper W.A Hardison says road rage falls under aggressive driving.
"Weaving in and out of traffic, high rates of speed, following too close, things like that," he said.
He says first, if someone is on your bumper you should keep driving.
"Dial 911 or *HP if you think someone is following you," he added.
Another tip: look for a safe place to get help.
"If there's a police department or somewhere close by or somewhere safe to pull over, or a sheriff's office, try to avoid any confrontation with them," said Hardison.
He says enforcing road rage can be tricky since, unlike the Carteret County case, it usually goes unseen.
But if you get caught, you could be facing an aggressive or a reckless driving charge.
Troopers say if you're not a victim but see road rage happening, call law enforcement.

I am not a dog owner at present, but have lived with dogs much of my life.
I think it is about time dog owners were given better facilities to allow their dogs to run offleash. A well exercised dog is much better behaved than a dog who only gets exercise on leash or on hard surfaces. Every dog should have the opportunity to catch a stick on grass - not dirt.
I wish the best to this dog owner group and hope to see some better use made of our parks for dogs.

Greer Park has a pathetically tiny dog run, it's so small a large dog can hardly turn around in it!!!
I always thought it was an opportunity for dog owners to have asked for the newly landscaped area of Greer Park adjacent to the frontage road to H.101. Unfortunately, not nearly enough dog owners stepped forward to lobby for it, so that was a big opportunity missed.
Perhaps that section of Greer Park could be opened up to dog owners from 8:00 am - 10:00 am, I never see anyone walking or using that newly landscaped area of Greer Park, which I walk by regularly.

When the local dog owners quit leaving their dog's crap on my yard and sidewalk, I'll be more inclined toward a proposal like this.

To the editor:
I walk year-round in Stage Fort Park.
It does not look like a cared for park for many months after the cyclocross race leaves its path visible and the park in a state of repair for months. Then, it is damaged again, it seems, before it has fully recovered.
According to the latest information from the state, the officers and directors of Essex County Velo, Inc. are residents of Beverly, South Hamilton, Byfield, Ipswich and Marblehead.
It is strange that they don't want to hold this race in one of their own communities, if it is so beneficial to local businesses, as they could help their hometowns prosper from this event. Perhaps their own communities don't want to look at torn up parks for most of the year — only to see it happen all over again the next year.
These organizers restrict the use of the park on a beautiful fall weekend, when people enjoy cooler walks and still go to the beach.
We have looked at this long enough. Please take it elsewhere.
