Zev & Lin
Founder: Zev PoratZev was born in Israel,and was raised in the orthodox city of Bani Barack. He was raised an orthodox Jew from a rabbinic family. His father, grandfather and ancestors were all rabbis. Zev was born again in Yeshua after many years of hearing the gospel on the internet and reading the prophecies of the Old Testament. Zev says, "Now we go out on the streets as the Spirit of God guides us!" The minute he received the infilling of the Holy Spirit he began to share the Gospel of Yeshua everywhere? Being a native-born evangelist he has been persecuted and most of his family has disowned him. Zev understands that being a Completed Jew is believing in Yeshua. This comes at a cost that he and his wife Lian are willing to pay the salvation of Israel. Romans 11:26 reads "and so all Israel will be saved." Zev says, "Yeshua called me to share the gospel with the lost sheep of Israel because "my people perish for lack of knowledge." (Hosea 4:6)
What We BelieveWe believe the Holy Scriptures are the Divine Revelation of God's command from Genesis to Revelation. There is one God-Eternal Who has manifested Himself throughout history in many ways. We believe that Yeshua is the promised Messiah of Israel and the only begotten Son of God (Prov. 30:4). We believe that God has sent His Holy Spirit to New Covenant believers to help them understand His Word and to help them apply it in their lives.
Yeshua – HaMashiach is the expressed image of God manifested in the flesh. Salvation is God's grace command that rest upon man's faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Yeshua. Believers in Yeshua, Jew and Gentile, are immersed by the Holy Spirit into one body. The saved will be eternally blessed; the lost will be eternally punished. We believe that the Torah is written on man's heart based on Jeremiah 31:31-33. We believe in maintaining our Jewish roots/Hebraic roots through Yeshua HaMashiach.
We Believe in sharing the Love of Yeshua with ALL PEOPLE and are not ashamed of the Gospel (Romans 1:16).
Support our work. Partner with us.

This was the view of the sky on my way to the office the other morning, heading from the house to the office next door to write some more of the story that is unfolding. I have written 32,200 words, exploring the years when I turned my back on the city. It's hard to say exactly what that means without putting it in a catgeory that leaves out the other aspects that are there.
I have delved into my collection of writings from over that time - poems, stories, notes. This is different from my earlier stories, where I was telling a particular story. This time I don't know what the end point is. I just have to take the next step each day and see where it brings me.
The nicest thing about this project, or journey, or exercise, is not knowing where I will end up, and each day has been surprising to me. It's still called "The third story", my placeholder title. I called this blog "To the bush and back again" because I've just come back to the city after over twenty years.
Sometimes the writing is slow, sometimes it is quite quick. I am taking more time over it this year, although I have probably written more words in the days to date. It is stewing slowly. Although, some of the writing is lyrical, and I've enjoyed getting back into the stories again.
To bed. Pen to rest/fingers withdraw from keyboard.

News: Lil Wayne Caught Giving Christmas Cheer To Love Interest Over Holidays
Tuesday, Dec 28, 2010 1:35PM
Young Money leader Lil Wayne was spotted over the Christmas holiday getting jolly with a rumored new lady.
According to reports, Wayne even tossed his keys and rode shotgun around Miami with the alleged lover.
A free bird just in time for Christmas, ex-Rikers convict Lil Wayne is chasing love over the holidays. The recently released rapper was spotted wearing a Michael Jackson-esque bandana over his mouth while with a pretty young woman outside The Setai residences in Miami. He was so smitten, he even got into her less flashy set of wheels. "He hopped into her beat-up silver Toyota Camry and had his chaffeured Rolls-Royce follow," our spy said. (New York Post)
In light of Christmas, Wayne released holiday video for fans over the weekend.
"I just wanted to wish ya'll a Merry Christmas to everyone out there," Wayne said in a video from a car garage. "I hope you get every single thing you want. I got what I want and that's ya'll." (Weezy Thanx You)
Although the video is less than a minute long, Wayne's holiday message has already been viewed by thousands of fans.
When Lil Wayne says Merry Christmas, the fans listen. In a new video the hip hop artist takes 30 seconds to wish his fans a Merry Christmas. Most of the time a video moment like this might get a couple of hundred hits, but in Lil Wayne's case, it has surpassed 200,000 in less than 48 hours. (Examiner)
While allegedly single, Wayne has reportedly fathered four children.
The 28-year-old currently has a 15-year-old daughter with high school sweetheart Antonia "Toya" Carter, a two-year-old son, a one-year-old son with Lauren London and an 11-month-old with Nivea. (The Boom Box)
Check out Lil Wayne's X-Mas video down below:

There was no probate because he had no life insurance and no assets.The business has not made a profit but there remains 13,000. His brother offered me 10,000 for my husbands share. Now he says we have to have avadavits from my son and grandson and grandaughter before then he says I need to open up a probate but there is none except this business. In the state of Ala does the spouse automatically become part ownet in the death of her husband. Please answer thank you

As you know I am IT consultant, and I make my salary working hard in that role. But we all dream to make something more to gain some extra money. My passion since my teenager phase is the share market, making money trading always fascinated me. I am not a great trader and I have to confess I only trade for hobby, I've never made real money from share market, but it still putting a lot of time on it.
If you never played with share market before be careful from this point, because I will provide some information that can lead you to a no return trip. If you are not familiar with the terms I am using here, start from this website.
Why am I talking about stock market and trading? Well, my post this week aims to help the Banking sector with external blogging strategies and, as you know the majority of banks have three main sectors: Banking (obviously), Insurance and Investments. My focus is the investment sector, which normally is responsible for only 10% of the total profit of the organization. However, after the online trading approval in early 2000 the number of traders increased by 260% world wide.
1 – How banks make profit in the Investment Sector?
All Australian big banks (suncorp, westpac, commonwealth, nab, anz) operates as a broker. A broker is a bridge between the investor and the Stock Market (in Australia called ASX – Australian Security Exchange). And they make their profit from the trades, which is a transaction between the customer and ASX. In the end bank don't care if the customer win of loss money in the ASX (of course they prefer success to keep the investor active). In the end the important to banks is keep the customer buying and selling. The customer can also delegate all the investment process to banks but that is not fun and that is not the focus for my blogging strategy.
2 – How keep investors always active?
As a trader I have to read a lot about companies operating in the share market. Information is always the key. For example if I am investing in the airline company QANTAS I need information about how company is going and any impact that may have in their stock price.
If the investor is not comfortable enough he will not trade (sell/buy) and consequently the bank as a broker will not receive payments.
3 – External blogging strategy to increase the number of online traders:
(A) Contacting successful traders to blog about the market. There are thousands of excellent traders blogging for free in the internet, and as a junior trader I am always reading the blog of those stock market gurus (here is a sample list of this blogs). If the bank contact them and pay for blogging in the name of bank, I am sure the bank will increase the number of traders.
(B) Using web2.0 features such as RSS, tagging and Feeding to classify information about specific companies in the share market will help customer to easily feel comfortable to trade based on that information. Consequently the bank's revenue increases.
(C) Traders can easily identify the best bloggers for their goal using the number of visitors per blogger.
4- Conclusion
In a quick visit to the big five banks' online brokers websites(suncorp, westpac, commonwealth, nab, anz) I can't see any manifestation towards stock market blogging and in my opinion that's a fantastic area to be explored.
Is that make sense? Can you see that opportunity to be explored by our banks? Perhaps not only for banks but ASX itself is not even using RSS to enable customers to subscribe to share market's information.

From the first moment you enter Avalon, you embark upon a journey into the imagination.
Avalon is a role playing world (often called an RPG or MUD), a mythological environment in which you can develop your own character and interact with other real-life and imaginary beings. This is a continent of legends and detailed histories, both past and in the making. Step into this world and you may become an integral part, a major character in an unfolding tale, a great figure in the next noteworthy event in Avalon's illustrious history.
Avalon is played in real time. This means that as you are thinking and acting, events will continue to progress around your character. Avalon is also a multiuser world or MUD which means there are many other real-life players who you will meet during your time within the land.
Avalon is an ever evolving RPG world and you will play a part in the history of that world. Build your reputation and become a respected or feared member of society, actions taken by you can alter the world for good or evil as you help to shape history on your journey of enlightenment and the ultimate quest for ordination and immortality. The Gods, who have defied mortality, will play a crucial role in your character's development.
These few introductory pages are not intended as a full introduction to Avalon, only experiencing the land for yourself can fully prepare you for what is in store. Instead, it is hoped they will help those new to the land by supplementing the on-line HELP that is constantly available and by providing a glimpse of the possibilities open to all players.

Introduction to English Studies
(required for major)
ENGL1400: Introduction to English Studies
Sequence 3 (10:30-11:35 MWR)
A foundational course required of all English majors.
Does reading literature make you more empathetic? Should an adaptation of a literary work be "faithful" to its original? And by the way–what is literature, anyway? What isn't?
This class will explore these and other current questions or debates in literary studies. As we do so, we will read works from a variety of genres (poetry, fiction, graphic fiction, drama, essays), with emphasis on developing skills in close reading of text and on the practice of writing analytical essay.
Literary Backgrounds (required for major)
ENGL2100: Backgrounds to English American Literature
Sequence 2 (9:15-10:20 MWR)
This course examines Greek, Roman, and Biblical literature in translation as background for literary study. We will trace the emergence and development of some of the principal genres, foundational myths, and literary motifs as they first appear in the western tradition and as they are transformed by the history of their invocation and revision. Readings include, Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Aristophanes, Virgil, Ovid, and selections from the Bible. Requirements will include short weekly writing assignments, a take-home midterm, and a regularly scheduled final exam.
Literary Periods
(five courses: three pre-nineteenth-century; one nineteenth-century; 0ne twentieth-century)
ENGL1600: Introduction to Shakespeare
Sequence D (9:50-11:30AM TF)
Fulfills the Pre-nineteenth Century Period Requirement for English majors.
Fulfills the Arts/Humanities Level 1 requirement in the NU Core.
An introduction to Shakespeare's major plays in every genre, this course emphasizes questions of language and modes of reading as entryways into key themes and topics (e.g., gender, identity, kin/g/ship, desire) within the Bard's corpus. An initial in-depth study of a single play will provide a foundational knowledge of rhetorical strategies, considerations of performance, thematic development, and historical context that will then shimmer throughout discussions of the other plays. Assignments reinforce reading strategies and offer opportunities to practice elements of Shakespearean rhetoric in your own writing.
ENGL4617: 17th Century British Literature
Sequence E (11:45-1:25 WF)
Fulfills the Pre-nineteenth Century Period Requirement for English majors.
The seventeenth century in England was a great age of lyric poetry and prose. The poets produced poems that are still standards and models for modern poets. We shall examine the context and the techniques of such poets as John Donne, George Herbert, Ben Jonson, Robert Herrick, Richard Crashaw, Henry Vaughan, John Dryden and others. The prose of the era represents a spectrum of experimental styles, Ciceronian, anti-Ciceronian, Baroque, scientific, personal—a handbook of various ways to write. We shall consider selections from Francis Bacon, Robert Burton, Thomas Browne, John Bunyon, Samuel Pepys, and others.
ENGL4663: Early African American Literature
Sequence D (9:50-11:30 TF)
Fulfills the Pre-nineteenth Century Period Requirement for English majors.
This course will focus on 18th and early 19th century trans-Atlantic (African, American, British, and Caribbean) writing by members of the African Diaspora. Recent archival research and canon reconsideration has revealed the wealth and variety of texts written by black writers during this period. Drawing on this work, we will investigate the ways in which these early Black Atlantic writers engaged with a range of issues such as the nature of the individual subject; the rise of capitalism; the rapid expansion of print culture; the development of the novel; the cultures of neo-classicism, religious sentiment, and the sublime; the rise of nationalism; and of course, the expansion of the institution of slavery. Through reading a variety of texts such as: poetry, speeches, essays, letters, fiction, slave narratives, biographies, and autobiographies—we will not only get a sense of the complexity of Early Black Atlantic literary cultures but also appreciate how these writers created the foundations for various literary traditions across the African Diaspora. Writers may include: Wheatley, Hammon, Marrant, Equiano, Banneker, Walker, Northrup, Smith, Douglass, and Jacobs.
ENGL4664: Topics in 18th C. American Literature: Gender and Empire
Sequence B: (MW: 2:50-4:35pm)
Fulfills the Pre-nineteenth Century Period Requirement For English majors.
Eighteenth-century American literature is marked by revolution—a revolution concerning not just politics but gender as well. The American Revolution was a signal historical event—one that enabled the new nation of the United States to take shape, but it is too often understood primarily as the story of "founding Fathers" rather than a complex history of empire and nation in the larger Atlantic world. The longer story of the eighteenth-century U.S. stretches from Europe to Africa to the Caribbean—all locations between which people, commodities, newspapers, literature, and ideas traveled, forming and informing the diasporic culture of early America. Looking to this larger Atlantic world, and the multiple revolutions (American, French, Haitian) occurring there, this class will focus on the way in which gender was a key component of the tectonic changes that shaped the revolutionary eighteenth century. We will read both critical texts in feminist theory and gender and sexuality studies and literary texts including diaries, captivity narratives, novels, poetry, and slave narratives. Writers may include Rowlandson, Behn, Morrison, Prince, Foster, Sansay, and Wheatley.
ENGL4627: Topic in 19th Century British Literature: 19th Century Poetry
Sequence 3 (MWR 10:30-11:35am)
Fulfills the Nineteenth Century Period Requirement For English majors.
The nineteenth century was a period of intense poetic experimentation. Poets made their works the vehicles for radical philosophy, new forms of narrative, political activism, and heightened emotional experience. At the same time, poetry was a popular form, and the century produced a wealth of light verse and sentimental effusion. This class will examine this rich poetic scene. Major topics will include movements like the late Romantics, the Pre-Raphaelites, and the beginnings of Modernism; the divide between popular and "high" art; the shifting relationship between poetic and religious discourse in the age of Darwin; the place of literature in delineating national history; utopianism; poetic experimentation and the visual arts; women's authorship; and the poet's role as public figure. Students will write three analytical papers and give a presentation on historical or literary context. Authors will include Shelley, Keats, Barrett Browning, Browning, Arnold, Hopkins, Hemans, Landon, Tennyson, C. Rossetti, Hardy, Swinburne, Wilde, Housman, Yeats, Gilbert, and Lear.
ENGL3100: Anti-Semitism in 20th Century American Literature
Sequence F 1:35-3:15 TF
Fulfills the Twentieth Century Period Requirement For English majors.
Jews have flourished in the welcoming embrace of America, but they have also endured the tragically familiar impact of anti-Semitism. This course will explore anti-Semitism as it appears in the most important forms of American popular culture – the Hollywood film, the Broadway stage, and the stories, poems, and essays of major Jewish and non-Jewish American writers. The course will approach the subject of anti-Semitism from a social and historical perspective, buttressed by close readings of individual works of American literature and close analyses of scenes from Hollywood films. Students will obtain an understanding of the social, psychological and religious foundations of anti-Semitism as it operated in American life and as it continues to operate in the deeper recesses of the contemporary American psyche.
ENGL3408: Modern Bestsellers
Sequence D (9:50-11:30 TF)
Fulfills the Twentieth Century Period Requirement For English majors.
"Bestseller" is an artificial category determined solely by numbers of books sold. However, we will explore some reasons behind the success of recent quality fictional best-selling–i.e., what special fantasies, obsessions, themes, plot lines, characters, action etc. appeal to popular tastes. The selections will represent a cross-section of mainstream and genres titles—e.g., thriller, mystery, "literary," etc.–by men and women, some of whom who have become brand names.
Guest bestselling author(s) will visit class. We will also watch and discuss movies made from the works studied in the course.
Student writing: announced quizzes; midterm & final take-home essay exams (7-10 pages each). Optional critical paper (7-10) pages analyzing a bestselling novel not read in the course.
ENGL4674: Modern Poetry
Sequence B (2:50-4:30 MW)
Fulfills the Twentieth Century Period Requirement For English majors.
When Ezra Pound called for poets to "make it new," he wasn't just referring to poetry: the Modernists wanted nothing less than to reinvent the literary tradition in which they wrote. This course is an intensive study of the beautiful, difficult, and sometimes bizarre poetry written in response to that challenge during the first half of the twentieth century. Discussions will range from geopolitics to metaphysics and back again, frequently within a single poem. Major topics will include tradition and canonicity, World War I, gender and sexuality, experimentalism in verse and in politics, nature poetry, interchanges between Europe and America, and the line between perception and reality. Authors will include Frost, Yeats, Pound, Eliot, HD, Stein, Moore, Williams, Stevens, Hughes, Brown, and Auden. Students will write three papers.
ENGL4687: 20th & 21st Century Major Figure: Morrison, Wideman Literature
Sequence A (11:45-1:25 MR)
Fulfills the Twentieth Century Period Requirement for English Majors.
"There's a call-and-response between my writing and Toni Morrison's," John Wideman once said in an interview. As two of the most artistically accomplished and intellectually challenging writers who have garnered major awards over the years, both Morrison and Wideman warrant sustained, in-depth study. This course covers several of each author's works (fiction and nonfiction) within the context of US/African American history, culture, and literary criticism. Graded assignments include brief weekly critical analyses and responses (posted on Blackboard), a class presentation and essay, and a final analytical paper.
Transhistorical/Transnational Courses
(two required)
ENGL1500: Survey of British Literature 1
Sequence 4 (1:35-2:40 MWR)
Fulfills the Arts/Humanities Level 1 requirement in the NU Core
This course surveys the topography of English literature and culture from the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf to Gulliver's Travels, that is, from around the early 10th century to the 18th century. We will develop a repertoire of familiar traditions and genres and see how they are revised and reimagined over time. We will also explore the complex intersections of literary texts and their social contexts in a variety of forms, including the connections between courtly love and political rivalry, romance and exploration of the new world, epic and nation building. Course requirements: class participation, weekly quizzes and/or short writing assignments, a midterm essay exam, and a regularly scheduled final exam.
ENGL1502: Survey of American Literature 1
Sequence E (11:45-1:25 WF)
Fulfills the Arts/Humanities Level 1 requirement in the NU Core
This survey course of American literature from the colonial period up to the Civil War will focus on poetry, autobiography, and fiction. In considering literary history through the lens of genre—focusing on each in turn—we'll be able to weigh different ways of constructing what counts as literature, and how literature speaks in different contexts—colony, revolution, and nation on the brink of war. We will read: poetry by Anne Bradstreet, Edward Taylor, Phyllis Wheatley, Philip Freneau, Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman: autobiographies by Mary Rowlandson, Benjamin Franklin, Henry David Thoreau, Harriet Jacobs, and Frederick Douglass; and fiction by Susannah Rowson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, and Herman Melville. Assignments will include midterm, final exam.
ENGL1700: Survey of World Literature 1
Sequence B (2:50-4:30 MW)
Fulfills the Arts/Humanities Level 1 requirement in the NU Core
The "medieval" and the "Middle Ages" are decidedly Western European constructs, both temporal and spatial. What of the "rest" of the world? We will read with/in and against the notion of the European medieval by exploring a variety of texts (in translation) across a variety of cultures, including excerpts from John Mandeville's Travels (England); the Táin Bó Cúailnge (Ireland); La Chanson de Roland (France); El Cantar de Myo Çid (Spain); and excerpts from The Secret History of the Mongols (Mongolia), the Tale of Genji (Japan), The Romance of the Three Kingdoms (China) and the Arabian Nights (India, Persia [modern Iran], Syria and Egypt), and Sundiata (Africa). We will supplement our texts with films and other media based on the readings. Our literary and critical interests include questions of genre (mainly romance and epic), narrative theory (what do modern readers do with pre-modern texts?), and difference (race, gender, class). One theme that dominates these texts is that of the nation and either the founding or dissolution of the nation: we'll examine how such national narratives functioned then and function now. Fulfills transnational requirement and survey requirement. Requirements: short responses to the readings, two brief papers, and a collaborative project.
ENGL3405: Horror Fiction
Sequence F (1:35-3:15 Tu/F)
This course explores English and American horror fiction from Edgar Allan Poe and Bram Stoker (Dracula) to contemporary masters such as Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Clive Barker. Using short stories, novels, and movies, we will examine the evolution of horror fiction and the various themes, techniques, and uses of macabre. Student writing: announced quizzes, midterm & final take-home essay exams (7-10 pages); optional original horror story or critical analysis of some horror work not read in the course (7-10 pages). Occasional bestselling horror author visits.
ENGL3671: Multiethnic Literature of the US
Sequence 4 (1:35-2:40 MWR)
This course explores contemporary issues through fiction (short story, novel) and nonfiction (autobiography, memoir) by American writers from distinct ethnic groups (e.g., Native, Asian, African, Latino/a, Jewish, Italian, Irish, Arab). Using family relationships as common ground among diverse American cultures, the course examines literary representations of the profound social changes that have taken place in the US and abroad. Each work is studied in-depth, with close attention to its cultural and historical contexts as well as its artistic and formal aspects. We will also view films and taped interviews in conjunction with the assigned readings. The course emphasizes classroom discussion and other interactive activities for collaborative learning. Requirements include substantial reading, brief weekly responses to readings (posted on Blackboard), a midterm exam, and a final paper.
Theory and Methods
(one course in Literary Criticism, Linguistics or Rhetoric)
ENGL3325: Rhetoric of Law
Sequence F (1:35-3:15 TF)
In 1995, the televised double murder trial of O.J. Simpson brought courtroom rhetoric into the living rooms of millions of viewers. Skillful oral performances — such as defense attorney Johnnie Cochrane's memorable summation line, "If [the glove] doesn't fit, you must acquit" — seemed to epitomize rhetoric's ability to mesmerize the listener, to spin the facts to favor one outcome over another. This ability, decried since the birth of rhetoric over two millennia ago, has prompted many attempts to "get past" the rhetoric, to separate content from form, substance from delivery. Yet scholars in all fields—including law—have begun to believe that words and ideas cannot be neatly or easily separated, that all ideas come from a particular perspective and are conceivable (and expressible) only through language, which is always biased. For the law, this recognition means that rhetoric doesn't just exist in courtroom oratory; it exists in every piece of legislation, every judicial opinion, and even the very procedures through which law does its work. This recognition also means that the law is always "interested," reinforcing particular social relations and ways of thinking at the expense of others. Because law "plays on a field of pain and death" (as legal scholar Robert Cover puts it), the relationship between rhetoric and law thus has profound implications for justice. This course explores this relationship. Readings are drawn from ancient and contemporary philosophy and rhetoric, legal studies, and legal practice. Assignments include two papers and a take-home final exam. No prior coursework in rhetoric or law is required.
ENGL3339: Topics in Literary Theory: Queer Theory
Sequence A (11:45-1:25 MR)
This course will introduce students to queer culture and critique from the 1890s to the present. We will read across a range of literary, historical, scientific and critical texts and will also engage other media notably film and visual arts. We will examine the emergence of sexuality as an institutional discourse and as a mode of counter discourse. Students will read works from diverse national traditions, both major and minor figures, as we attempt to both queer the canon and to recuperate lost queer histories. Authors might include: Wilde, Woolf, Proust, O'Brien, and Baldwin, along with critics such as Freud, Foucault, Butler, and Berlant. We will also have the chance to meet contemporary writers and artists. Requirements include a series of short writing assignments and a longer research paper at the end.
ENGL3340: Technologies of Text
Sequence 3 (10:30-11:35 MWR)
When you hear the word "technology," you may think of your computer or iPhone. You probably don't think of the alphabet, the book, or the printing press: but each of these inventions was a technological innovation that changed dramatically how we communicate and perhaps even how we think. Texts are at the heart of most disciplines in the humanities—literature, composition, philosophy, history, religious studies—but this course argues that technology and humanistic study are deeply intertwined. Literature in English, for instance, has developed in tandem—and often in direct response to—the development of new technologies—e.g. moveable type, the steam press, radio, film, television, the internet. Every old media was once new media. Our primary objective in this course will be to develop ideas about how the long history of "new media" might help us better understand modern innovations, including computers and the internet, which continue to shape our understanding of texts and the human beings that write, read, and interpret them. Many of the debates that seem unique to the twenty-first century—over privacy, intellectual property, and textual authority—are but new iterations of familiar battles in the tumultuous history of technology and literature. This course will also be experiential, about making texts as well as reading them. In "humanities lab" sessions students will work with text technologies new and old. These labs may include paper making, setting type and printing on a letterpress, learning to encode in HTML and CSS, and computational analysis of corpora. Note: no previous technical ability is required or expected for this course.

Experiental Education (one course required)
ENGL3381: The Writing Process
Sequence B (2:50-4:30 MW)
The purpose of "Processes of Writing and Tutoring" is three-fold: It is designed to help students reflect on and improve their writing. It is also designed to help students explore and understand the complex processes involved in written composition. Finally, it is designed to prepare students to become writing consultants, whether at the Northeastern Writing Center or at various educational sites, including community literacy agencies and Boston-area public schools (As part of participating in an experiential-learning course, students will be required to spend approximately 3-4 hours per week "experiencing" the act of tutoring writing at partner sites.). As consultants, students will be able to apply the knowledge they are gaining in the course to help other students improve their writing. To accomplish these goals, we will (a) examine what researchers and theorists have said about writing, (b) examine what theorists and practitioners have said about teaching in a conference setting, and (c) observe, examine, and reflect upon our own experience as writers and tutors. Students will produce a literacy narrative, a "remix" of that narrative using digital technologies, conduct primary research on their tutoring sessions, respond to readings and reflect on experiences through blogs, and present in-class activities on the teaching of writing. Required texts will include The Longman Guide to Peer Tutoring and selected articles. ENGL 3381 satisfies the experiential learning and writing-intensive requirement for English majors and is an elective option for Rhetoric minors.
Capstone Seminar (one course required)
ENGL4710: Junior/Senior Seminar: Nature and the Natural World
Section 1, CRN: 30671
Sequence A (11:45-1:25 MR)
Fulfills the Capstone requirement in the NU Core; Fulfills the Writing Intensive in the Major Requirement
To begin with a broad and obvious generalization, humans have always re-presented the natural world back to themselves in imaginative ways, from prehistoric cave paintings all over the world to an Ansel Adams photograph or Audubon print, from a simile in Homer (in which he compares the rush of men in battle to a summer rainstorm) to a Mary Oliver poem about a Cape Cod beach. And scholars have pretty much always noticed, examined, and attempted to explain or interpret the different ways in which the natural world has been represented in the arts. However, studying representations of the natural world (I use this term rather than nature and Nature, capitalized, in order to avoid treating the natural world as an abstraction: it's real out there) as an academic subject is relatively new. In the first half of this seminar, we will examine a handful of exemplary texts, both fictional (imaginative engagements, directly or indirectly, with the natural world) and non-fictional (that is, writings about nature that take the form of memoir or reportage) while working out an understanding of ecocriticism. Provisional readings: several poems that take the natural world as their subject, from the Middle Ages to the present (a mix of the usual suspects, such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Wordsworth, and Emerson, as well as other poets, familiar and un-); nature writing by such figures as Thoreau, Muir, and Dillard; some short stories by such writers as Hemingway; Margaret Atwood's post-apocalyptic Oryx and Crake, and selected writings from the natural sciences—from Darwin to Michael Pollan. We will consider such topics as nature/Nature/"nature"; representation (photography, painting and the plastic arts, film, writing); nature colonized, essentialized, gendered, and commodified (nature as metaphor/simulacrum; as mirror or book); urban/suburban/rural nature; wild/tamed nature; animal/vegetable/mineral/human/post-human; and the pleasures and problems of nature writing. In the second half of the course, students will develop their own projects in which they engage with the natural world: options include, but are not limited to, a traditional seminar paper; a research project grounded in the natural sciences; a multimedia project; a memoir (with scholarly commentary). Requirements: short in-class presentations/responses, a brief paper due at midterm, and a longer project due at the end of the term.
ENGL4710: Junior/Senior Seminar: Greek Tragedy
Section 2, CRN: 30670
Sequence D (9:50-11:30 TF)
Fulfills the Capstone requirement in the NU Core; Fulfills the Writing Intensive in the Major Requirement
Greek tragedy forges powerful emotion and complexity of thought. Its actions can be the most violent imaginable. Actions that many cultures avoided mentioning publicly the Greeks put on the stage: matricide, patricide, infanticide, incest, madness, suicide, and mutilation. To balance the atrocities and avoid disgust, Greek drama had formal elements that gave aesthetic distance and acceptability to its plots. Sometimes the plays even ended happily. Such controlled culture shock had an exportability, a clarity, and a relevance that fascinated many later civilizations, including out own. We shall examine the thought, imagination, poetry, dramatic techniques, ethics, and aesthetics of the major Greek tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides.
Creative Writing
ENGL3372: Creative Writing
Sequence 2 (9:15-10:20 MWR)
Creative writing class gives the developing writer an opportunity to practice writing both poetry and prose–particularly the short story. Features in-class discussion of student work in a workshop atmosphere. Several writing strategies will be explored, and opportunities will be given to revise submissions.
ENGL3377: Poetry Workshop
Sequence A (11:45-1:25 MR)
After studying how to write poetry and discussing selected modern and contemporary poems, the class will begin to circulate and comment on student work electronically. Students must complete at least twelve units of work (one unit equals a complete poem of one page or less), at least half of which must be revised and will form the basis of a student's grade. The class itself will be taught in a workshop or seminar format.
ENGL3380: Topics in Writing: Drama
Sequence 3 (10:30-11:35 MWR)
In this workshop course, students will strive to attain proficiency in the writing of a one-act play and, subsequently, of a full-length play. Both of these forms will be examined from conception to completion. Students will study prominent examples of both forms, but most of the work in the course will involve the writing itself, extensive revision, and the reviewing of other students' submissions. If time and scheduling permit, the course will also involve attendance at a publicly presented play.

Former council office in Bartholmew Square Brighton for sale
12:00pm Monday 17th February 2014 in News By Neil Vowles
A former council office block has gone on the market for £4.5 million.
The glass-fronted six-storey Priory House in Bartholomew Square in Brighton went on the market this week.
The property was used by Brighton and Hove City Council to house a number of customer service departments including benefit and council tax advisors.
The building was closed in 2011 and services moved to a new customer centre in nearby Bartholomew House as part of a council cost-saving drive.
Planning permission to allow the conversion of the 25,000sq ft site into 40 flats was granted in December.
The property is "a car-free development" with the previous 13 car parking spaces reserved for workers no longer available.
The building, which was constructed in the 1980s, is made of reinforced concrete frame construction and sits at the corner of Bartholomew Square and Little East Street A spokesman for Brighton-based Baron Estates, handling the sale, described the building as "a city centre office building available with full vacant possession, mainly open plan accommodation spread over six floors, approximately 25,095 sq ft.
"The building is located in Bartholomew Square off Little East Street, just behind the seafront and forms part of Brighton's famous Lanes."
A Brighton and Hove City Council spokesman said: "We're investing in our main administrative buildings to modernise facilities and reduce the amount of our accommodation by about 30%.
"This modernisation programme aims to save money and space while improving customer service, creating flexibility for staff and reducing environmental impact."
The spokesman added that several new customer service centres had opened in recent years including The Hove Customer Service Centre at Hove Town Hall in early 2013.
The Brighton Customer Service Centre opened in Bartholomew House in 2011, the Moulsecoomb Hub in autumn 2012 and The Whitehawk Community Hub opened in spring 2012.

What's the most important thing Richard Burr has done in 16 years? POLL CLOSED
To get the details on this spectacular record of performance
please go to this post where submissions were made. The prize will go to the top vote-getting piece of legislation (not including choice number 5).
PS Anyone can vote
You don't need to be a BlueNC community member or even a registered user. Just click the answer that you think represents Burr's most significant accomplishment.
PS Someone wrote to say this poll was stacked. It's not. We've been inviting submissions for a whole month now. If the poll was stacked, there would be a sixth answer:
"Started his own private run on banks."
Military Spouses
I wonder if spouses like this were included (see segment of letter below)?
Here are just some to think about - they reflect what life is like for military families under DADT:
* Set up an alternative e-mail account that wouldn't show the gender of my name
* Establish a very generic, genderless form of communications over e-mail
* Never write "I love you" - or nothing that could indicate anything at all about the nature of our relationship
* No access to the Ship's Ombudsman - a point person for military families for all things very, very important relating to the ship and her crew
* Create a plan for dropping her off at ship - making sure our goodbye or welcome is in secret
* Never spending the remaining few hours on the ship like with the rest of families before a deployment
* Worrying about how close to the pier I could be without raising suspicion
* Before leaving home, be sure to say final goodbyes - no hugs and certainly no kisses allowed on or near the base
* Not being able to participate in any family video postcards to the ship
* Still trying to figure out how to deal with those pesky customs forms required when mailing anything to a "Fleet Post Office" - they require a name, so maybe use her parent's name or the dog's name
* Don't put anything too personal in care packages - those might arrive via barge, waterlogged and falling apart - therefore, they might be opened
* As a result of the rough handling from a helicopter mail drop, any other boxes I send could be opened if damaged
* Don't get sick, seriously sick, and don't get hurt while spouse is gone
* Hope she doesn't get hurt as no one would tell me - I can't be listed as her next of kin in her service record without raising eyebrows
* Remember to have her pack her personal cell phone and the charger for use six to nine months later - can't use any of the ship's communications, so the cell is the only way to coordinate a pickup upon return home
Knowing that when the other families are waiting at the pier, I wouldn't be able to stand among them anxiously awaiting my sailor's return. This isn't everything. It's just a glimpse.

A movie more than two decades in the making hits big screens this weekend.
Red Tails tells the story on the Tuskegee Airmen, a crew of African American pilots during World War II.
And for a Brentwood woman, the film has a personal meaning.
The long-awaited action film from George Lucas showcases America's first all-black aerial combat unit, but for Katie White, Red Tails is more than a movie.
It is her late husband's legacy.
"I think those Tuskegee Airmen did the entire United States proud and of course they did their race proud," White said.
In 1942, Joseph White was one of the nearly 1,000 black men sent to Tuskegee, AL for flight training.
After nine months, he and about 400 others would be sent overseas to fight in World War II, but the Tuskegee Airmen would also fight racism.
"They did not think blacks had the intelligence or the dexterity to learn to fly, and if by chance they did, they didn't have the courage to go into battle," Katie White said.
But the men proved everyone wrong.
The airmen never lost a single U.S. bomber they were assigned to protect, destroyed 250 enemy aircraft and helped end segregation in the military.
Still, Joseph White never called himself a hero.
"He always felt like maybe he didn't give enough, because some people lost their lives," Katie White said.
White went on to earn a doctorate and worked as a physicist. And he introduced the first electronics curriculum in Metro Schools.
He died in 2007 at age 85.
White said her late husband would be proud to know the story of the airmen is now on the big screen, but she hopes that amid the high-flying stunts one message gets across.
"I hope people will understand that black men can do anything that any other man can do," she said.
Red Tails opened in theaters Friday, and White said she plans to see the movie this weekend.

Manchester United have drawn both of their first two matches in the UEFA Champions League this year, but they'll have some serious explaining to do to their fans if they manage any result but a win in Bucharest on Tuesday night. Otelul Galati may be the champions of Romania, but they're also without a point so far in the Champions League, falling to both Benfica and FC Basel.
Unfortunately for United, they have to think about who they play and how much time they're given. There's a Manchester Derby looming large at the weekend, and Manchester City have a larger squad than their cross-town rivals at the moment. Wayne Rooney and Nemanja Vidic are expected to be re-instated into the starting lineup, but Rio Ferdinand hasn't even made the trip and the starter status of 'Chicharito' Javier Hernandez is unknown.
FC Otelul Galati Vs. Manchester United
Date: Tuesday, October 18
Time: 2:45 pm ET, 7:45 pm BST, 8:45 pm local
Venue: Stadionul National, Bucharest, Romania

There's been a huge debate on whether or not the Celtics are better without Rajon Rondo. The classic argument is "A record of 15-6 is certainly better than a record of 20-23." The classic counter-argument is "No matter what happens in the regular season, Rondo usually shines in the playoffs."
This season, Rajon Rondo will not be stepping on the court with his team come playoff time, and since Rondo is the main man in the postseason, are the Celtics doomed? To that I say YES, and NO.
Rajon Rondo's playoff performance in the 2011-2012 season was great. In his 19 games, he averaged 17.3 points (career-high), 6.7 rebounds, 11.9 assists (career-high), and 3.8 turnovers (career-high), shooting 46.8% from the field (career-high) in 42.6 minutes (career-high). There were even a few triple-doubles sprinkled inside. It was a postseason where Rondo truly showed that he could commit, and expand his game to help the team win.
So here's the NO part.
To begin, a lot of Rondo's stats were so good because of how long he played. He was either first or second in the league last year when it came to average minutes played in the postseason (he could've been behind Luol Deng I'm not 100% sure). If you were to look at his entire post season career in terms of Per-36 Minutes, some of those numbers would not look that good.
In terms of Per-36 Minutes for last year's playoffs, Rondo averaged 14.6 points (second-highest of his career), 5.7 rebounds (second-highest of his career), 10.5 assists (still career high), and 3.2 turnovers (second-highest of his career), and he still shot the same FG% which is still a career high.
Then you can consider Rondo's last stretch of this season.
Rondo's 2012-2013 season ended on a six-game losing streak. During that streak, Rondo averaged 16.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 10.5 assists, and 5.3 turnovers, shooting 43% from the field, in 39 minutes. This stat line looks somewhat similar to his post season stat line. You could get the sense that Rondo really tried to will his team to a victory, so I don't buy the "Rondo wasn't on national television for all those games so he wasn't really trying" bit that people love to say. He averaged over 16 shot attempts a game during that stretch which is unheard of from Rondo.
Now here's the YES part.
Rondo loves the playoffs. I feel like he loves the excitement, the intensity, and the unpredictability of the post season. He likes to dazzle the fans, and give performances that people will talk about for years to come. There's no wonder why some of Rondo's best games have come in the post season.
When you lose Rondo, you lose a young player who already has 92 games, and over 3,500 minutes of playoff experience. You also lose a player who's played in 13 NBA Finals games. Rondo has been through it all, despite being so young. He's been through the injuries, the pressure, the disappointments, the achievements; pretty much everything the postseason has to offer.
He's also arguably the biggest mis-match the Celtics have for teams like the Heat, and Pacers. I'd take a Rondo-Chalmers, Rondo-Hill matchup any day of the week as opposed to a Pierce-James, or Pierce-George, or Garnett-Bosh, or Garnett-Hibbert matchup throughout a 7-game series.
Rondo is a huge reason why the Celtics have been successful in the past, but can the Celtics get an even better run without him in the future?
What are your thoughts? How much will Rondo be missed in the playoffs? Can the Celtics at least get to where they were last season?

Fewer drunk drivers last Christmas — police
HEAD of the police traffic division Deputy Superintendent Gary McKenzie says there were significant gains made during the Yuletide season with relation to road safety, despite the fact that road fatalities for the year went over the 300 mark.
"What we have been able to achieve over the holiday period was really significant. We did not actually meet our target as we had planned to hold fatal crashes below 300, but ended the year at 305. However, what I can say is that for the month of December we really put out a lot of effort and in relation to the traffic band policy it would appear that persons were much more responsible as it relates to drinking and driving with alcohol," McKenzie told the Jamaica Observer Wednesday.
The police, in partnership with the National Road Safety Council, had indicated that it would be ensuring that the Police Traffic Band policy was fully active over the holiday season. The policy, which is put into operation between midnight and 8:00 am, allows the police to stop anyone they suspect of driving under the influence and adminster breathalyser tests.
"We were able to carry out a large number of tests, [numbering] close to 1,000 for the holiday period and we had about six positive tests. That was significant; I think persons heeded the call for driving without alcohol on their breath," DSP McKenzie said.
"I must say we are very grateful, especially to those who were advertising entertainment events. We heard where persons were advised to drink responsibly, which is something the police is very grateful for," he added.
In the meantime, he said there was a "slowing down of the crashes going towards the end of December, which was a good sign". Up to last Wednesday, he said there had been a reduction in the number of crashes, in comparison to the same period last year. It is a trend the police are hoping will continue.
Meanwhile, McKenzie said the traffic police will continue to maintain their high visibility on the roads, which he said forces motorists to be more careful. He said the recent addition of a number of motor cars to the division's fleet has been helpful.
"For example, we have patrol cars along the route from Papine to Half-Way-Tree, from Constant Spring to Half-Way-Tree, from Cross Roads to Half-Way-Tree, in Three Miles, from Dunrobin to Ferry, along Marcus Garvey Drive, and other arterial roads," McKenzie said.

Broken Arrow Public Schools is one of the largest and fastest growing districts in the area. Each year they increase in size by three to four percent.
This year they had to make some room with six new buildings for all of the growth. Part of the new buildings are Early Childhood Centers for Pre-K students.
"We were about 17,200 kids last year. We have pushed almost to 18,000 students this year," Superintendent of Broken Arrow Public Schools Jarod Mendenhall said.
Since they are adding a new grade, the district had to plan to make sure everything was ready for the students to learn.
"We did everything we could possibly do, that was age appropriate and I think that was the thing we worked really hard to do, was making sure that the classroom were designed exactly for four year old students. Our elementary is designed for elementary students," Mendenhall said.
Each classroom has 20 students in it with a teacher and an aid. That's ten students per teacher, which is good for the teachers and the students.
"Being able to have new material and ideas and for curriculum for the children to have to expand their learning experiences," Pre-K teacher Kimberly Rowe said.
Rowe said with the new building everything is the perfect height for her students and makes her feel more prepared for her job.
"I think it's great that we are learning new things just like the kids are learning new things," Rowe said.
With this fast paced growth, Mendenhall said there are some growing pains you just have to be ready for the transition. The main focus of building these new schools is to get all students out of a prefabricated building and into a normal classroom.
The district does have another Early Childhood Center scheduled to open in August of next year. They are currently working on a study to figure out where the 15 elementary schools will go. Mendenhall expects it to be built in the next four to five years.

I doubt I'll add anything new, but there was a reason Matt Bradley was a fan favorite and I wanted to collect as much stuff as possible in one place for everyone to reminisce and share their favorite memories of the NHL's most accomplished bleeder.
Steinz has a beautiful collection of links and photos, and some heartfelt writing. Kahn at DC101 posted his favorite Brads moments, and the Blogfather chose to highlight a lesser know fight, Brads vs. Lucic.
Becca wrote this wonderful five-year anniversary post last August. So many Bards highlights packed into one post. The fights. The goals. The cult following.
Of course, we all know that The Cult of Bloody Brads was because he is also an awesome person off the ice. I won a Matt Bradley prize pack at an appearance he did at ESPN Zone a couple years ago. He signed some extra cards for me, adding "Recycle or Else!" for me to hang up around the office. I think we all have stories about those sort of interactions with him.
I'll leave you with some of Brads finest moments (and it was hard to pick just a few!). Feel free to share photos, links, and general merriment the six seasons of Matt Bradley brought us. Because everyone #needsmorebrads.

An RSS reader is a small software program that collects and displays RSS feeds. It allows you to scan headlines from a number of news sources in a central location.
Where can I get an RSS reader?
Some browsers — such as the current versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari — have built-in RSS readers. If you're using a browser that doesn't support RSS, there are a variety of RSS readers available on the Web. Some are free to download and others can be purchased. You can find more information about RSS on the USA.gov What Is RSS? Web page.
How do I use an RSS feed?
The first step is to choose an RSS reader. Each reader has a slightly different way of adding a new feed, also called a "channel." Follow the directions for your reader but, in most cases, here's how it works:
- Click on the link or more likely, the small XML or RSS button near the feed you want. You will see a page displaying XML code, or in a newer browser, a page displaying the available programs.
- From your web browser's address bar, copy the URL (web address).
- Paste that URL into the "Add New Channel" or "Add New Feed" section of the reader. The RSS feed will start to display and regularly update the headlines for you.

I know the site needs advertising and I'm not against that, but can anyone explain to me why some of the ads have to be so ridiculous. I'd really rather not be looking at some random dude in a facemask and whitey tighties when I come to this site. It's not only on both sides of the page but also randomly between articles. I can't stand it. I may not be returning to Ninersnation on my computer (mobile app doesn't show this dumb stuff) for a month or so until the ad changes.
I don't know what you all think about it or if it even bothers anyone else but it would be nice if we forced to look at ads if it didn't have to be stuff like that.

When he died, Da Yu passed the throne to his son Qi, who founded the first slave dynasty in Chinese history, the Xia Dynasty, at the end of the 22nd and beginning of the 21st century BC. Dynastic rulers governed the country for over 400 years until the 16th century BC, when Jie, an infamous tyrant, was overthrown.
At that time, the Shang, a tribe living along the lower reaches of the Yellow River who specialised in animal herding, rose rapidly. By the end of the Xia Dynasty, they had become a powerful tribe led by Tang, also known as Shang Tang or Cheng Tang.
Indignant over its corruption, Tang was determined to topple the Xia Dynasty. While acting ostensibly obedient to Jie, he secretly enhanced his own power. In order to facilitate military operations, he moved his tribe to Bo (today's Shangqiu, Henan Province). From Bo to the capital of the Xia Dynasty stretched a vast plain without any mountains or rivers, a geological advantage making it easy for large troops to manoeuvre. In Bo, Tang with his tolerance won the support of all his tribesmen. He also tried to boost his profile across the country, and to seek the approval of other tribes.
At that time, all tribal leaders believed in gods, and considered the worshipping of the heavens, the earth and their ancestors, to be of paramount importance. However, a tribe called Ge, not far from the Shang tribe, did not offer sacrifices at the correct time. Worse still, the people there themselves ate the cattle and sheep Tang had offered them for sacrificial use. They even went as far as to kill the young man who had brought the food sent by Tang to farmhands hired by some Ge nobles, and stole the food. This triggered a battle between the two tribes, in which the Ge was defeated. Tang took this opportunity to seize a number of nearby tribes. Tang's power gradually strengthened with these moves. However, the insensible, decadent Jie did not take note of Tang's ambitions.
Tang thought the time was ripe for overthrowing the Xia Dynasty, since many tribes, no longer able to bear the cruelty of the Xia, had seceded from the dynasty. Tang decided to launch a massive attack. He first imbued the soldiers with a desire to topple the Xia Dynasty by appealing to the aspirations of the heavens. As a result, all the soldiers fought heroically. At a decisive battle in Mingdi, Jie's troops suffered a major defeat. Jie fled to Nanchao (southwest of today's Chaoxian County, Anhui Province), where he was captured by Tang's troops. He exiled there until his death.
After ousting Jie, Tang continued to eradicate the remaining forces of the Xia Dynasty. Around 1600 BC, Tang officially founded the Shang Dynasty (c. early 17th – 11th century BC), the second slave regime in Chinese history.

I dunno where to put this, but thought this would be the best place.
Our proxy server spontaneuously restarted it self. The machine would reboot just after the Windows Splash screen but would work fine in safe mode, but not ok in safe mode with networking. We figured out it was something to do with the network cards, after disabling them in device manager. The server didn't restart when these were disabled. We updated the drivers and still no luck. I pulled out the network cable from the server, with the drivers still enabled, this time, the server stayed on. I plugged the network cable back in and the server rebooted it's self. This happens on both network ports.
Unfortunately im on holiday next week and week after, but fortunately im not going away. Im sure something is telling me that i cant have a holiday.
Can anyone help on this issue? Would replacing the ethernet cable help? or is it a case of the NICs (which is in the MoBo) that are knackered and needs to be replaced?

A Lawrence County man was arrested today (Wednesday) after a domestic violence incident earlier in the week that prompted an elementary school lockdown.
Arrested was Michael Earl Thomas, 51. He is charged with simple assault (domestic violence).
Monday, Lawrence County Sheriff's deputies were called to a domestic violence complaint at a home just west of Spearfish. No arrests were made at that time. Tuesday, the suspect Thomas reportedly made phone calls to Creekside Elementary School attempting to contact the victim. That caused the Spearfish School District to institute a soft lockdown and other minimal security measures at the school.
Police say there were no direct threats to the school or students. Rather, the security measures were simply precautionary and education took place as usual at all Spearfish schools.

We've all seen the tragic stories: a parent either by accident or through negligence leaves a child in a hot car, leading to injury or death.
Two-year-old Jadiel Rosario is still in the hospital after investigators say his parents left him alone in the car for eight hours earlier this week.
"That's your child, you shouldn't leave your child in the car," said Nelson De Leon of Tampa.
Now it looks like retail giant Walmart is trying to prevent these tragic accidents.
The signs read "Look before you leave. Please make sure children are not left unattended in vehicles," and they will start popping up at Walmarts all over the country.
"This is a perfect example of how we took an idea from an associate and made it a reality," said Walmart Spokeswoman Dianna Gee.
Walmart says an associate saw a story about a child being left in a hot car last summer and decided, even though children being left in cars wasn't a huge problem for Walmart, something needed to be done.
The associate e-mailed their CEO, and eventually that email led to the signs.
While many local parents applaud the move, others worry about a society where they are even necessary.
"I think they're necessary everywhere," said Shanese Aldamuy of Tampa.
"I was just like shocked really, I was kinda like wow people leave their kids in the car and we need to put signs up?" said Lisa Montero of Tampa.
Walmart says they've delivered thousands of the signs to stores across the country.
One parents says if a national brand like Wal-Mart can't get the point across parents should remind themselves through another big corporation.
My kids are like the American Express card, you never leave home without them," said Aldamuy.

An Open Letter to the U.S. Senate: Oppose S. 2191, the Lieberman-Warner "Climate Security Act"!
May 28, 2008
Dear Senator:
On behalf of the 362,000 members of the National Taxpayers Union (NTU), I urge you to oppose S. 2191, the Lieberman-Warner "Climate Security Act." This bill would impose an annual cap on the emissions of six greenhouse gases, principally carbon dioxide, and would establish a trading system for emissions allowances. This "cap-and-trade" system constitutes a colossal tax hike and should be opposed due to its enormous cost and regulatory implications.
First and foremost, this bill amounts to a huge tax hike. Though the mechanism obscures the fact slightly, this bill effectively imposes a substantial carbon tax. Capping emissions and requiring entities to purchase additional allowances from the federal government will lead to an explosion in revenue. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the tax increase adds up to nearly $1.2 trillion over just a seven-year period from enactment in 2012 to 2018.
Enacting S. 2191 would also tremendously harm economic growth and job expansion. An analysis by the Heritage Foundation estimated that GDP losses as a result of the legislation between 2010 and 2030 would range from $1.7 trillion to $4.8 trillion. Job losses could exceed 700,000 in 2015 alone. The CBO also estimates that the cost of S. 2191's private-sector mandates would amount to more than $90 billion per year from 2012 to 2016. These costs would severely undermine America's ability to attract businesses and capital. Meanwhile, the bill would drain household budgets by increasing the cost of natural gas and electricity for American families.
In addition to the aforementioned costs, the Lieberman-Warner bill contains troubling regulatory implications. The Environmental Protection Agency would be charged with the daunting task of establishing emissions allowances for thousands of American manufacturers and electricity generators, no doubt requiring an army of bureaucrats in the process.
We at NTU are not climate scientists, nor can we profess to explain the relationship between man and climate. But if Congress, through its deliberations, deems it desirable to cap carbon dioxide emissions, it should not be used as a guise for a massive tax hike. As with any bill, any increase in revenues should be matched by corresponding reductions in tax rates elsewhere to prevent taxpayers from sacrificing more of their money to Washington, D.C.
Despite the rhetoric to the contrary, this cap-and-trade legislation is not a "market solution." No bill that contains such mammoth tax increases and regulatory burdens could fit that description. As such, we urge you to oppose S. 2191. Roll call votes on this bill will be heavily weighted in our annual Rating of Congress.
Andrew Moylan

Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder

After #31DAYS , @Dreamdefenders leave the #Florida Capitol ... #Zimmerman #Trayvon—
Juan Diasgranados (@JuanDwptv) August 15, 2013
The Dream Defenders settled into the Florida state capitol building one month ago, refusing to leave until Gov. Rick Scott agreed to meet with them to discuss a repeal of the state's "stand your ground" legislation. Scott was out of town at the time, but he sat down with the group's leaders two days later and said no to a special legislative session to discuss "Trayvon's Law," reminding the group that normal legislative channels were available.
The "indefinite" occupation of the capital that followed attracted visits from Jesse Jackson, Harry Belafonte, rapper Talib Kweli and former NAACP chairman Julian Bond.

It appears that "as long as it takes" is one month, as the Dream Defenders announced that they're decamping and moving on the the next phase.

On their way out, though, members of the group stopped by the governor's mansion in Tallahassee to post an eviction notice.

The group insisted that they wouldn't leave until they were victorious, so all it took to end the occupation while saving face was to claim victory. Even though they insist they're only taking the next step on their journey, packing up their laptops and pillows and leaving the capitol still looked like quitting.
