NYT: 'It's Legitimate to Blame Republicans and Their Most Virulent Supporters in the Media'
As we move into the second day following the horrendous attack on innocent citizens in Tucson, Arizona, the media's blame game continues.
Although the New York Times editorial board stopped short of claiming Republicans and the Tea Party were responsible for inciting Jared Lee Loughner to commit this heinous crime, the Gray Lady made it clear it feels the Right are the cause of a "gale of anger" dangerously sweeping the nation:
Jared Loughner, the man accused of shooting [Rep. Gabrielle] Giffords, killing a federal judge and five other people, and wounding 13 others, appears to be mentally ill. His paranoid Internet ravings about government mind control place him well beyond usual ideological categories.
But he is very much a part of a widespread squall of fear, anger and intolerance that has produced violent threats against scores of politicians and infected the political mainstream with violent imagery.
And that's where things got ridiculous:
The federal judge who was killed, John Roll, had received hundreds of menacing phone calls and death threats, especially after he allowed a case to proceed against a rancher accused of assaulting 16 Mexicans as they tried to cross his land. This rage, stirred by talk-radio hosts, required marshals to give the judge and his family 24-hour protection for a month. Around the nation, threats to federal judges have soared for a decade.
That may all be true, but there's no way that Loughner would have known Roll was going to be in that crowd as the judge who lives in the area had according to reports spontaneously decided to visit his friend Giffords at her political event.
As such, Roll's only crime as far as Loughner was concerned was his attendance. At this point, we don't even know if Loughner knew who Roll was.
But there was more:
It is facile and mistaken to attribute this particular madman's act directly to Republicans or Tea Party members. But it is legitimate to hold Republicans and particularly their most virulent supporters in the media responsible for the gale of anger that has produced the vast majority of these threats, setting the nation on edge. Many on the right have exploited the arguments of division, reaping political power by demonizing immigrants, or welfare recipients, or bureaucrats. They seem to have persuaded many Americans that the government is not just misguided, but the enemy of the people.
And whom did the Democrats and their media minions demonize in 2006 and 2008 to take back the Congress and the White House in subsequent elections?
Much like the rest of the carping and whining media, the Times has developed a convenient amnesia of the virulent rhetoric directed at the Bush administration as well as all Republican elected officials that led to sweeping Democrat victories at the polls.
Given the sheer volume of liberal media outlets joining in the evisceration of the Right back then, what we've seen in the past 24 months pales by comparison.
But the Times doesn't see it that way, or at least it's not willing to admit it.
Instead, like the rest of the pandering press, the Gray Lady views this incident as a way to browbeat conservatives into silence while possibly getting the public behind stricter gun laws.
What all these media outlets are missing is this blame game will only further divide the nation, increase the invective, and grow the public's distrust of politicians as well as those that cover them.
In essence, they're throwing gasoline on a forest fire with total disregard for the acreage at risk.
Makes you wonder where it's all going to end.

I have the ability to think. Liberals believe that Americans do not have this ability. Even if Rush, Hannity, or anyone else for that matter said on their show someone needed to be assinated I would not run out buy a gun and go kill them. To suggest that most Americans do not have the ability to think on their own is unforgiveable. I do not listen to these morons, I for the most part come here to have a look at the tripe they are trying to sell. I don't listen to Rush, Fox News or anything else on a regular basis. I use many sources for information. What this man did was totally off the deep end and I look forward to seeing him have his day in court. I can only hope the system works in this case. My prayers and concern go out for Ms. Gifford and her family and the victims of this senseless act of violence.

According to the Wall Street Journal, at the 2007 Congress on Your Corner session Loughner and Giffords attended, he asked her something about grammar taking over and she was sort of nonplussed and answered him in Spanish--and he STAYED furious, a friend said--for THREE YEARS and THEN MURDERED her. Would you say she brought this on herself? Of course not! And it had nothing to do with the Tea parties, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck or anything else. It had to do with his disordered mind and fixations.

because it allegedly might lead to violence or suicide. Yet, the public bullying of Republican figures has gone on for years, including violence injuring both police and patrons at the St Paul RNC. And public figures---Palin, Coulter, Rove, Emmer have been subjected to public attacks at public gatherings. Oddly, the NYT and the lib media has full tolerance for this. Indeed, there was even much media amusement when Bush had the shoes thrown at him in Iraq.
The blame game on this tragedy, with minimal insights into the perp yet released, is pathetic. Even worse, to blame the right who has received the lion's share of public violence for its public figures is simply journalistic malpractice.

Interesting how the liberal mainstream media cried out vehemently to not rush to judgment over the shootings at Ft. Hood by Nadal Hasan yet they rush to judgment here, often erroneously (either intentionally or unintentionally). Apparently fact checking goes right out the window when they think they can blame conservatives. This goes well beyond a lack of journalistic ethics and integrity and solidly into journalistic malpractice and malfeasance.
Don't allow the libs to get away with the unhinged spin. Here are a plethora of materials of which they (liberal MSM and politicians) are either forgetting or intentionally ignoring:

This is exactly the kind of rhetoric that they believe the vast majority of Americans are harboring against Mulims and the Islam religion. It's absolutely astounding how far this is going and the vastness of it all.
What's more offensive is that they still refer to Loughner as the suspected killer while daming the entire conservative movement for these crimes. If they had any consistency in their thought, they would be going out of their way to separate this individual's hienous acts from the political discourse that goes on every day on both sides. Obviously, we know better that they will not.
The inconvenient truth is that Loughner's personal beliefs are more consistent with the liberal left rather than what Sarah Palin believes or discourse from conservative radio. The rate at which the liberal left is going with the blame game is one of two things: never letting a crisis going to waste by trying to defeat their political enemies or it is phobic - a fear of conservatives. Either way, Christiane Amanpour must root this one out with the same energy that she had with her 'Islamophobia' witch hunt.

I liked the trailer, but I have a few critiques. One, the costume needed more umph to it. Two, Diana was too thin, not as muscular as I thought. Three, the hair didn't do it for me. Other than that, I thought the trailer was believable. Maybe I'm just too hooked on Linda Carter. LOL

Lady Trojans' rally falls short in tourney
Sun. December 09, 2012 at 12:36 a.m. | By Keyon Jeff/Sports Correspondent
MATHEWS — With less than a minute remaining in the third quarter of the Crystal Guidry Tournament final on Saturday night, the Central Lafourche Lady Trojans looked overwhelmed.
East St. John had built a 20-point lead advantage by creating turnovers and getting second-chance points off offensive boards.
Then sophomore Nicole Breaux nailed a 3-pointer as the buzzer sounded, sparking a 14-0 Central Lafourche run that lasted deep into the fourth quarter. Alas, the Lady Trojans could not overcome the deficit and loss 45-34.
"That little spurt where we came back was pretty good, but overall, I didn't think we played to our potential," Central Lafourche coach Brett Smith said. "We didn't have many scoring opportunities because East St. John, defensively, was great. That's what slowed us down big time."
Central Lafourche (5-3 overall) hanged tough with East St. John in the first quarter leaking out after shots and getting easy baskets in transition. However, a running layup by DeRae Taylor (nine points) propelled the Lady Wildcats to a 17-9 lead at the end of the period.
East St. John (8-1) tightened its defense in the second quarter, only allowing Central Lafourche three points. Back-to-back jumpers by Jermani Thompson (10 points) gave the Lady Wildcats a 27-12 halftime lead.
"In the first half, we did a good job of not turning the ball over and executing our offense, getting the ball inside and getting good shots," East St. John coach Jackson Manuel said. "We just have to be a little more consistent."
Nya Duhe (12 points) began the third quarter with a 3-pointer and later made consecutive buckets to give East St. John a 40-20 advantage. Then Breaux (six points) ignited the Lady Trojans attack.
Central Lafourche held the Lady Wildcats scoreless for five-and-a-half minutes to start the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, Saterria Lawson (five points) made four free throws and Audry Sousa (five points) nailed a pair of jump shots. But it was an Aquasia Porter (six points) steal and layup to cap the run and cut Central Lafourche's deficit to 40-34 that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
"I think we picked away gradually," Smith said. "Once we were down 10 points, they decided we were still in this game."
"We got very sloppy at the end," Manuel said. "This is a young ball club with a lot of maturing still to be done. Sometimes immaturity leads to not playing well with a big lead."
However, Duhe stopped Central Lafourche's run with a short jumper, and Taylor sealed the East St. John win with a basket plus the foul.
Taylor Kimball led Central Lafourche with seven points.
Smith said his team just needs to correct some minor flaws to fulfill the capabilities.
"Learn to stay together; learn to do the little things; learn to do the right things," he said. "We'll be good from that."
At the Crystal Guidry Tournament in Mathews, Amanda Gianelloni scored 17 points in the consolation final on Saturday.
Kevreion Ward finished with 12 for the Lady Mustangs (5-4).
At the Cabrini Tournament, Riverside outscored the Lady Cardinals 6-3 in overtime for the win in the championship game.
Genna Larose led E.D. White (6-2) with 16 points. Also scoring in double figures were Emily Weimer (12), Jordan Gros (11) and Michae Jones (110).
At the Episcopal-Baton Rouge Tournament, the Cardinals fell to 3-3 on the season with Saturday's loss.
Stephen LeBouef scored 11 points to lead E.D. White.
St. Michael led 13-9 after the first quarter, 29-12 at halftime and 37-20 after three quarters.

ALTUS Okla_ A home invasion
Tuesday night in Altus
led to a fight over a gun and sent the victim and one of the attackers to the
hospital with gunshot wounds.
The homeowner
said he and his girlfriend were held a gunpoint by two men after they broke
into his home around 9PM Tuesday. He told police he fought one of the attackers
for his gun and in the process, got shot in the foot. After getting the gun
away from the invader, the homeowner then shot him twice in the stomach.
Around 9PM
Tuesday, Altus police started getting calls from
people saying they heard gunshots coming from the 800 block of North Jackson. When police arrived in the area, they
found a man that had been shot twice lying in a church parking lot. That's also
when they noticed the house next door had its door wide open, and they figured
out that house must be where the whole thing started.
"When they
got to the house, they made entry because the door was wide open," Altus Deputy
Police Chief Mike Bell said. "It had been broken open. They made entry in the
house and looked around, and there was nobody in the house. Right around that
same time, we got a call from the hospital that another gunshot victim had
transported themselves there."
The victim at
the hospital turned out to be the homeowner, Alejandro Obajaro. He said he and his girlfriend were in the
bedroom when they heard the front door get kicked open. That's when Obajaro
went to see who was in his house.
"When he
entered the living room, he noticed a black male and a white male standing in
the living room area with guns," Bell
said. "One had a shotgun and one had a handgun."
approached the men, and they pointed their guns at him and made him and his
girlfriend lay down on the floor. The suspects were talking to the girlfriend,
and that's when Obajaro made his move.
homeowner jumped up and got in a fight with the man with the handgun," Bell said. "During the
fight, the homeowner got shot in the foot."
Obajaro was
able to get the gun away from the suspect, turned it on the suspect and shot
him twice in the abdomen area.
"At that
point, both suspects ran out the front of the house," Bell said. "The white male was lying in the
church parking lot."
The identity of
the suspect who was shot has not been released, but he is still in Jackson County Memorial
Hospital, and police do
plan to arrest him when his condition improves. The other attacker is still on
the loose, and police say they do not have any leads on his identity at this
time. The homeowner is also still in Jackson
County Memorial
Hospital, being treated
for the gunshot wound to his foot. Both weapons were found at the scene.

Relax in an effervescent bath far from the dayhiking crowds.
Santa Maria Spring, Grand Canyon NP | Mr. Bubbles, Yellowstone NP | West Maroon Pass, CO | Mills Lake, Rocky Mountain NP | The Colorado Trail | Gunsight Pass, Glacier NP
Countless hot springs gurgle up from within the Rockies, but Mr. Bubbles tops our team's list. From the Bechler Ranger Station, hike 13.5 miles north, passing several waterfalls and views of the Tetons, to the Ferris Fork campsite (9D1). Sleep here, then follow signs north of the site to Mr. Bubbles, a quarter-mile away. Here, 110°F water burbles up from beneath the Ferris Fork to warm a pool 15 feet across and four feet deep. Permit required.
Driving From Ashton, Idaho, follow Cave Falls Rd. 26 miles to its end at the Bechler Ranger Station.

Contact (307) 344-2160, nps.gov/yell
Just to reiterate, the picture above is NOT Mr. Bubbles. May even be a little dangerous to list it as such since the feature above is dangerously (life threateningly) hot. Mr. Bubbles is a couple hundred yards past the pictured feature.
Mr. Bubbles is a hot spring located halfway through the Bechler River Trail in the southwest corner of Yellowstone National Park. It can be reached either by hiking from Old Faithful or from the Bechler Ranger Station.
In September 2009 there were no signs to lead you to Mr Bubbles. The spur trail is unmarked as is the feature itself. Be careful testing which one is Mr Bubbles. It is NOT the one pictured. That thermal feature will burn you severely. Remember it is unlawful to enter water of entirely thermal origin in the park. Mr Bubbles is a mix of cold river water and thermal water.

one flap, "Kemper-Thomas Company, 10-1918." Moderate to heavy signs of
age, wear, fading, water stains and some soil; one small hole, on the fold
of one of the flaps. A very sound sturdy example. Vg-. $24.00
dark olive drab woven cotton web cartridge belt manufactured by the Mills
Woven Cartridge Belt Co. of Worcester Massachusetts. M1903 type interlocking
"T" buckle closure; 10-pockets reinforced with extra,
"puckered," weaving at bottom. No interior pocket separations,
unfortunately, someone has cut off every clip retaining strap inside the
pockets. The front of each pocket flap exhibits a highly embossed,
rimless button with the U.S. eagle design. The backside of the belt exhibits
blackened brass belt tips stamped with the "Mills" logo design and
patent dates, "Pat. Jan. 29, 1901; Mar. 29, 1904; Jul. 16, 1907;" a very
light ink stamp of the "Mills" cartridge logo is also present on each
side of the belt on the backside. The reverse also has hand stenciled
numbers and letters that look like "141 INF., NY H IS;" the letters are
difficult to read so my translation might not be completely accurate. The
color is not faded; the belt exhibits light signs of age and use, as well
as, overall moderate storage soil. Two of the pocket flaps have a small hole
on the front, (nothing seriously detracting); the eagle buttons are lightly
worn on the highlights and retain at least 75%, or more, of their original
blackened finish. The blackened brass hardware is lightly worn and aged it
retains at least 50% original finish. One side of the belt has elongated
eyelets the other side has round ones; the eyelets are tarnished and exhibit
very slight and insignificant signs of verdigris. The center grommet, on the
adjusting belt, between the two sides of the belt has partially lulled
through the webbing. The belt is olive drab color, not the yellowish color
as seen in the image. The description may tend to make the belt seem worse
than it really is; it's really quite a nice looking belt. This would
be a very expensive belt if the interior pocket straps were not cut off,
which actually doesn't affect the display ability of the belt.
A very nice representative example. Vg. $130.00
Khaki cotton, woven web, cover with a blackened brass wire belt hook and
thick russet leather scabbard tip, which is lightly stamped Brauer Bros,
1918." Designed to slip over the wood M1917 Bolo scabbard. This
example is in new, unused condition; however, the webbing has picked up,
moderate to heavy, areas of brown storage soil and age over the past 85
years, or so; the leather tip is aged and has marks from moisture. Unfortunately,
these scabbard covers have probably shrunk a bit over the years; they will
be very difficult to install on the scabbard. Unused. Sold, as-is,
not guaranteed to fit. $14.00
5UW1-74. Heavyweight,
light colored khaki woven cotton web cartridge belt manufactured by the
Russell Manufacturing Co., Middletown, Connecticut. M1903 type
interlocking "T" buckle closure; 10-pockets with blackened brass
lift-the-dot closures. The bottom of each pocket is reinforced with a,
"Russell," style, "puckered," gathering of the material. This
example is manufactured without the interior snap-tab
magazine retainer and has "round" grommets on the bottom
edge of both sides of the belt. The backside of the belt exhibits brass
belt tips and adjusting buckles, (mostly devoid of their blackened
finish). The web adjusting belt is ink stamped, on the backside, with the
"Russell" logo, (the stamp is quite light and not completely legible);
owners initials, "BPA," are hand inked on the backside also. The
webbing color has faded to a very light colored khaki; it exhibits
moderate signs of age and wear except for moderate fraying spots on the
edges of several pocket flaps, (nothing serious). The belt exhibits a
light, even, soil from handling and storage, as well as, some light
speckles of rust that are mostly confined to one pocket flap. The
blackened finish on the brass hardware is lightly worn and aged,
consistent with light to moderate actual use. The hardware retains at
least 90%, or more of its original finish on the front side and maybe 50%
remains on the backside; there is no sign of any verdigris. A very
sound, "salty," looking example. About Vg-. $79. 00

Throughout the remainder of the preseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be trying to solve the NFL roster-building equivalence of a Sudoku puzzle. Each piece must not only fit within its own positional group, but it must also compliment specific packages and supplement the roster as a whole.
This roster projection will use the same solving philosophy as the popular numeric puzzle - process of elimination. Every NFL roster is made up of 53 players. Eliminating the place kicker, punter and long-snapper leaves and average of 25 players per unit. We will begin much like we did with the offense, accounting for the more obvious answers first which will narrow down our actual tough decisions.
The Starters
- Ziggy Hood - LE
- Steve McLendon - NT
- Brett Keisel - RE
- LaMarr Woodley - LOLB
- Jason Worilds - ROLB
- Lawrence Timmons - BILB
- Larry Foote - MILB
- Ike Taylor - CB
- Cortez Allen - CB
- Ryan Clark - FS
- Troy Polamalu - SS
Starting jobs may change hands between players by the opening of the regular season, but for now these 11 players are the most-likely to remain on the roster somewhere throughout. The company ladder runs both ways, it will be up to players like Worilds and Allen to decide which rung they wind up on.
The Reserves
Beginning with the secondary, we find the next five most likely cut survivors.
- William Gay - CB
- Curtis Brown - CB
- Robert Golden - FS
- Shamarko Thomas - SS
- Terry Hawthorne - DB
We already know the Steelers expect to use Gay outside in Nickel packages, moving Allen into the slot. This virtually guarantees Gay will make the roster barring some catastrophic screw-up or physical breakdown. Brown will probably cling to the roster due to his inexpensive salary over the final two years of his rookie contract, after being the team's third-round selection in 2011. He may not have been overly impressive last season in spot relief, but he is still a work in progress. He will have to be severely outperformed to be displaced from the roster.
The most questionable name in this group could be Hawthorne. His name could be replaced by a veteran teammate with experience and without practice squad eligibility, however secondary coach Carnell Lake sees big things in Hawthorne's future. If Lake is correct, Hawthorne's potential could trump the mediocrity of his teammates in the end. The team did sign him to a contract despite the surgical procedure to remove bone fragments from his knee which could sideline him for both remaining OTA sessions, however he was most likely signed for insurance purposes to cover the cost of his operation. He will need to earn his roster spot like any other player, especially rookies.
Moving inward toward the front-seven, we find our next group of five.
- Adrian Robinson - LOLB
- Jarvis Jones - ROLB
- Marshall McFadden - MILB
- Stevenson Sylvester - MILB
- Vince Williams - BILB
Last year, Robinson saw most of his preseason activity from the left side of the defense, although he was rushing from a down position. If he has made adequate progress from a defensive end mentality to stand-up linebacker, his 250 pound frame could become the primary backup to Woodley if Worilds is able to hold off rookie Jones for the other starting job. McFadden and Sylvester seem the most probable interior reserves, although both are of the smaller Mack variety. Their true value lies in their special teams contributions. Williams is the most questionable of this group, however he best fits the "Buck" mentality of the 3-4 alignment. Despite being a late-round pick (6th), he could earn a job because of a lack of true competition; even if the team decides to deactivate him on gamedays early in place of special teammers Sylvester and McFadden.
The Final Four
While on the offensive side the final four roster spots were divided evenly among several positional groups, on defense we are still lacking our second-unit defensive line, which will take over the first three spots.
- Cameron Heyward - RE
- Alameda Ta'amu - NT
- Al Woods - LE
Ta'amu has one advantage over his teammates when it comes to positional battles - he has experience in the system. Not only will he be trying to outshine his on-field struggles from last season, but he will also be attempting to reward the Steelers patience with his off-field issues. If he makes the necessary progress this off-season, he should be the favorite to back up McLendon. The team is not talking about Casey Hampton, so neither will we -- for now.
With 24 of 25 possible spots already accounted for, the last slot is a wild card. As it stands now, the roster contains 9 LBs, 9 DBs and 6 DLs - an adequate distribution for gamedays. The final player named could find their self among those deactivated from week-to-week, but at least they will have a job. For this exercise, we will limit our choices to those players who are no longer practice squad eligible and can contribute on special teams when they are active. As with the offense, voice your opinion in the poll below on who you believe will leave training camp with the final job.

Credit where credit is due; it appears that Matthew McConaughey is done starring in mediocre paycheck fare. After spending years taking off his shirt and smirking through films like "Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past," "Fool's Gold," "Surfer Dude" and "Failure To Launch" (while failing to launch a franchise in "Sahara" and doing forgettable dramas like "Two For The Money"), the actor is striking out in some new directions. His upcoming flick, "The Lincoln Lawyer" seems to be getting better than expected advance buzz and he's lent his name to a couple of bold upcoming comedies, William Friedkin's "Killer Joe" and Richard Linklater's "Bernie." And now, the actor is circling a strong drama that has been stuck in development hell for years.
24 Frames reports that McConaughey is now set to star in "The Dallas Buyer's Club." Written by Guillermo Arriaga ("Babel," "21 Grams"), the film is based on the true story of Ron Woodruff, a man who in 1986 is diagnosed with AIDS and given only months to live, strikes out and starts toying around with underground drugs not approved for use in the U.S. at the time. He would up living longer than expected and began getting these drugs in the hands of other AIDS sufferers as well. Yep, it's some brave, bold subject matter so no surprise it attracted top shelf talent over the years. Marc Forster and Brad Pitt were set to take it on years ago while more recently, Ryan Gosling and Craig Gillespie were looking to make it but the picture never got off the ground.
Formerly set up at Universal, the film is now an indie and it has Jean Marc-Vallée ("C.R.A.Z.Y.," "The Young Victoria") in the director's chair. No word yet if there is financing in place, but Strike Entertainment ("Dawn Of The Dead," "Children Of Men") are still on board to produce, as they have been from the early days of the project.
We're pretty excited this one is coming back to life and props to McConaughey for making it happen. We hope that unlike its previous incarnations, this one will find the pieces it needs to get it finally rolling in front of cameras soon.
Tom Logan | March 10, 2011 4:48 AM
I was impressed with what Vallee did on "Young Victoria". In regards to McConaughey, as long as he doesn't fall back on any of his bad habits like saying "Boom" everytime he helps someone or wakes up one more day than predicted, then it should be alright.
Fingers cross, he'll try again to get Pure Evel, Red, White, Black and Blue and The Grackle made too.
buzz | March 10, 2011 3:38 AM
you can't call a movie a "strong drama" before it's even shot. Buzz, and a story with potential, and even a great script don't give a clue to the final product.
The words "strong drama" "based on a true story" "attracted top talent" can also apply to something that turns out as god awful as THE SOLOIST.
You guys need to keep it in your pants a bit when talking about movies that haven't been shot yet as if they are definitely going to be amazing or as they are sure failures. That usually depends on something called "Movie-making" not whatever gossip, buzz, casting, etc. involves the film in pre-prod.

the script will be strictly on PS side, so nothing needs porting on IM side
deploying it as a "plugin" with integrated IM is a whole different thing
it will probably remain possible only to those who are savvy with computers
... unless the plugin is written in C+ with the IM libraries (which are supplied)
I'm still not sure about the added value of the "gamma factor". The example they give fails the resampling as designed, but if you adjust the values in the example to linear gamma, it will fail in exactly the same way using the gamma correction, and will give good results if you do it without. ... I hope you get my drift.
the perceived luminosity aside, the "off" feeling I get is that the wall looks more mortar and almost no bricks after the sharpening (which is clearly not the case in the original)
about the gamma and freq separation... it will be hard to work with, but if you add a corrective gamma curve as adjustment layer on top, it may work
reality is subjective
interesting, thanks for the link
This is actually a mathematical quirk. Because you're doing the averaging in a 2.2 gamma space, the upper agrees. Converting the image to linear sRGB first and then performing the same action has the opposite effect - the lower becomes 'correct'.
That said, more interesting to me is that when one moves to LAB (a gamma-independent system) and performs the same test, the top one is once again the more consistent with the original image when averaged.
As to gamma + frequency separation, leveraging gamma shifts in performing FS can have certain advantages depending on whether one is attempting to enhance local contrast (as in the original gamma argument's USM tests), or whether one is using FS for corrective purposes. Generally the latter is going to be more intuitive in a higher gamma (1.8 or 2.2) whereas the former might be used for the sake of aesthetics (depending on one's POV and interpretation of the LAB results above).
And all that said, I do completely agree that Lanczos is and has been sorely missing form PS's repertoire.
... and sorry for the late entry into this.
I just tried Edit > Color Settings > Blend RGB Values Using Gamma 1.0 to see if it would change anything.
It didn't seem to affect the way the Average was calculated.

WR Danny Woodson Jr. transferring from Alabama to South Alabama
"Woodson will have two seasons of eligibility remaining after sitting out the 2013 season, per NCAA transfer rules. He is the son of Danny Woodson Sr., who played quarterback at Alabama from 1990-91. After sitting out the 2011 season, Woodson appeared in six games for the Crimson Tide. He recorded just one catch for nine yards during the 52-0 rout of Arkansas on Sept. 15. Alabama suspended Woodson for a violation of team rules in February and he did not participate with the team during spring practice."

Article By: Fred Bouchard
DARRYL SETTLES • 46 • Owner/Manager, Bob's Southern Bistro • Partner, Beehive • Boston
Buzz, buzz . . . Beehive, the new cafe/club in The Calderwood Theater complex in the South End's brick roundhouse Cyclorama, is a-throb with sophisticated music, hip drinks, good food, smart people. Très hot! Co-owner Darryl Settles, a cog in Boston's restaurant and real estate world since 199O, owns Bob's Southern Bistro, founded Boston's only jazz festival since the boston globe's in 2OOO, and is the man to talk about Beantown's 3O+ night life. Our chat covered more Boston politics, cultural realities and greening society than drinks and eats.
BACKGROUNDER I'm originally from Aiken, South Carolina. I moved to Boston after graduating from Virginia Tech in 1984. I worked as an engineer at Digital Equipment Corp (DEC), then moved into sales and marketing. When you work for somebody else, you always think you could be making more money. So I started real estate development with a partner. When we developed condos, our real estate broker found Bob the Chef's as a listing to sell in the bankruptcy court. I'd heard about the restaurant but had never been here, and never worked in one. I naively purchased the place expecting it to add to my income. My dad booked R&B and blues bands in Carolina. It amazed me how he allowed himself to be abused by the musicians. B.B. King and other acts would have outrageous riders on the contract: $5K a night, but the hotel bill would be double that! He'd give away his profits with them drinking top-shelf gin and green room catering.
CHEF'S FAVORITE The [original Bob The Chef''s] had a lot of notoriety in the black community and connections to the white community. Everyone knew it was up for sale in 1989 and wanted to know who was going to get it. It got a lot of copy in the globe, herald, boston magazine even before I purchased it. When I bought it, there was another round of press and the place took off. It used to be a diner. I put in a new floor, new ceiling, replaced equipment. But I had an inefficient management team in here, and no experience, so it was the blind leading the blind.
FIXING LEAKS A year later, banks weren't touching restaurant loans, so a partner had to put up 1OO% collateral. When I saw my money going rapidly down the tubes, I took a leave of absence from DEC to fix the problem. I managed to turn it around, and never went back. It took me a few years to get on track, but the good news was we had cash flow, busy every day. I wasn't making money because I was learning. Food costs and payroll were out of whack. My kitchen staff had grown from 3 to 9. My accountant said, "Get off the phone, go get a pad, go in the kitchen, find out what everyone is doing, when they clock in, when they leave." I asked one guy, "What did you do today?" He said, "I made corn muffins." That was it! I realized that everyone knew I didn't know what was going on and they were taking advantage. So I cleaned house that day and started over.
ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT When I was in marketing at DEC, I took customers to Turner Fisheries at the [Copley] Westin Hotel all the time. I liked the food, the music, the scene. It was always packed, but I could always get a table. In 1994, a new general manager decided against live entertainment - too rowdy. It was where most mature Bostonians went to hang, because the only other place in town with live 'adult' music was The Oak Bar, with $9 beers. Well - first thing I did at Bob's in 1994 was go and get an entertainment license, which took a few months. Remember that little round table back in the corner? I took it out and put a trio in there, and the response was immediately positive. I closed down five months to renovate in 1995, and we've been doing live jazz here ever since. Bob's had a single line for take-out and sit-down. It got so congested at the counter you couldn't move. So when we renovated, I put in a take-out window around the corner - another good move. I wish I'd done that Day One, but you don't know what you don't know.
PRAYING for a LICENSE My next move was to get a beer and wine license. We sell wines by the glass and bottled beer. In 2OOO, I got a full liquor license. It took a long time because we have a church next door. The reverend gave me a letter of support; the city supported it; it was the first time a black restaurant would get a full liquor license in Boston. This is not the '6Os; it's the '9Os! But when I got to the hearing, my lawyer said, 'Darryl, you sure have a lot of fans here.' I said, 'What?' 'Look at all these people!' I asked a woman why she was here. She couldn't even look me in the eye, and said, 'The church did a phone chain to deny your license.' I said, 'You gotta be kidding me!' A senior Boston councilman took me aside and recommended we withdraw the application to let the smoke clear. He was right! We backed off, and ninety days later, I had it! Now that we have a full license, martinis are our biggest seller by far, we have a page of them, and we've raised the ante with better wines.
LEARNING the ROPES Southern Bistro was a sole venture, all mine. I learned quite a bit: you have to have quality people, emphasis on customer service, and consistently good food. I think what I'm good at is marketing. I've been around a long time, I know people in the community, I've sat on various boards. That's all helpful. The reason I survived was that I bought a going business; if I'd started Bob's from scratch, I'd have lost everything. I lacked the cash flow to stay afloat. This is a very difficult business, as people say.
CATERING to the FOLKS Marketing tools that helped the business? We have our niche - southern cooking. You can count us on two hands in Boston. Magnolias in Cambridge, Redbones in Somerville, Blue Ribbon BBQ at two locations, a few deep in the community, and us. I had long contacts in the press and media, and that's half the battle. The other half is that I made the decision after the third phone query, 'Do you cater?' I said, 'Oh yes, we do!' By that I meant, 'We'll figure out how to do it.' The first few times I said no, and then told myself, 'Wait a minute! You're throwing away business!' My friend Susan Callender of Boston Unique Events helped me set up our catering business right here in the kitchen. She gave me pointers on going from small scale to volume cooking, either reception style (pass-arounds) or buffet style. We do parties on 6OO for Reebok and Comcast every summer; we got it down pat. When I was with Digital in the '9Os, these parties were wet. Most of them now are totally non-alcoholic - too much liability.
BEEHIVE YOURSELF The club's a direct result of Turner Fisheries closing down adult music in town. We evolved from Bob The Chef's Jazz Cafe, to Bob's Southern Bistro and now the Beehive. I realized that the city is changing; young people staying on after college are looking for nightlife. In my early 4Os, I didn't want to go to Roxy or Lansdowne Street with college kids. Concierges loyal to us, say customers ask, 'I've been dining since 7 here; where can we go at 1O?' They've had few options: Top of the Hub or a hotel bar. That's when I said, 'We have to create something.' Well, Tremont Street started exploding; the city started building Washington Street (with the Silver Line) and restaurants popped up: Stella's, Pho, Oishii, Sage. But no music yet! La Rocca and Gaslight are looking at it now.
HOT DRINKS Settles defers to wine director Bertil Jean-Chronberg to explain the Beehive concept. "La Ruche ['beehive'] was a domed circular building, like the South End's Cyclorama but in steel and glass, built by Gustave Eiffel (yes, of Tower fame) at Emperor Napoleon III's request as a huge cellar to display the wines of Bordeaux's classification for the Grand Exposition of Paris in 19OO. Afterward Boucher, a sculptor/philanthropist, salvaged La Ruche as a studio for three consecutive art movements: Russian emigres (like Kandinsky), African colonial artists (and Cubists like Picasso and Braque) and the American Poppy movement (modern American artists like Sargent). The idea came to us: What if all these people ate and drank together? Hungarian and Slovak and Italian purveyors used to give starving artists free food to share, to feed their heart and spirits. So our menu and wines are a parallel to this: delicious rustic comfort food, obscure and yummy and affordable wines. [We list wines only.] 1O whites and 1O reds ($29 to $42, no laboratory wines, with art labels from all over: Australia, Lebanon, USA, Brazil, France, Hungary, Israel) and 5 each of high end ($89 to $4OO; Vega Sicilia, Cos d'Estournel, Kenwood Artist Series, Prum Riesling, Pur Sang by Didier Dageneau, Mas du Daumas Gassac white, Leflaive Chassagne Montrachet). 5 white and 5 reds sold by the glass and carafe only; 25 hand-selected Champagnes (7 vintage, 7 brut) and 1O sparkling (Westport River Cuvee Maximilian). Some are bargains (Moet White Star, $52), some rare (Veuve Cliquot 1996, $235). Our house Champagne is Mumm Cordon Rouge and house sparkler is Mumm Napa, $14 the 7 ounce glass."
'FREE' ENTERTAINMENT In other cities - Chicago, LA, New York, Miami - people are used to paying a decent cover charge to hear music. Not here. Boston is filled with great musicians from schools like Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory, to name two. Though it's not widely discussed, the music industry to the sports industry: less than 1O% make it to the pros. Boston musicians graduate with talent, though maybe not enough to get that record deal or make that move to New York or LA. But Boston is now their home, so they teach, work in other jobs, and play music on the side for low wages. You go to DC, they pay bands $8OO a night; Boston pays half that because clubs can't get a real cover charge.
NO COVER, NO MINIMUM City and state government are pushing to get more tourists and conventions in town, but you gotta give'em a nightlife! In Boston, you can't make money on music unless you've got some size. Scullers and Regattabar are subsidized by their hotels. Ryles, owned by S&S Deli, makes less in the jazz room than by filling the upstairs with Latin dance parties at $1O a head. Wally's, with only 6O capacity, can do it because they own the building and family members run it. At Bob's, the few-dollar cover just pays for the band. But you'd be surprised how many people stopped coming in since we added those few dollars. The Beehive has no music cover, because we have volume (3OO room capacity plus 1OO seat patio) to absorb band fees. It's more upscale, so people will pay more for food and drink.
FILLING a NICHE Adults with money seek sophisticated entertainment, and don't wanna hang out with 21-year-olds. As with society and housing, there are haves and have-nots in nightlife and the restaurant business. Let's say 2O% of Bostonians have 9O% of the money. That 2O% goes out 2 to 3 times a week; each time they go out, they spend $1OO. The other end, making $1O to $2O an hour, can't afford to go out and spend $25 on an entree, $1O on a martini, times two, plus 18% tip and tax.
BEANTOWN JAZZ FESTIVAL I started this Boston jazz festival in 2OOO. It started when I held a reception at Bob's for some long-term employees who retired after 3O years. The place was jam-packed, Mayor Menino was here to read a proclamation. I'd been to jazz festivals in Montreal and New Orleans and enjoyed that 'block party' feel. Without even thinking, up on the bandstand with the Mayor, I blurt out, 'You know, next year will be my tenth anniversary owning Bob's; I'd like to close down Northampton Street and hold a block party.' And Hizzoner says, 'Whatever you want, Darryl.' I said, 'What?! You gonna say that with all these witnesses?' He said, 'No problem.' I got a phone call the next day: you have to file a permit! When we got that permit, I started to hunt down sponsors: we had several banks the first year who didn't all appreciate the competition. Sovereign Bank upped the ante big-time ($75K) to be our exclusive bank sponsor. Other sponsors include: Target corporation, Yale Appliance and Lighting, Berklee College of Music.
PARTNERS Initial concept was mine, I bring in resources to the table in corporations and entertainment and music industry. My equal-share partners are a husband and wife team, Jennifer Epstein and Bill Keravuori. I'm responsible for all acts, but Jack Bardy (operations manager) does much of the booking. We serve up soul, jazz, R&B, pop, Brazilian and Latin; veteran pianist Al Vega does his popular Sinatra nights. Berklee College is prominent, with pianist Bill Banfield supplying and leading bands on Wednesday and Thursday, and Berklee's emering artists series on Tuesdays.

While nothing is official on Quentin Tarantino's highly anticipated slave/western/vengeance flick "Django Unchained," this is the way it's shaping so far: Jamie Foxx would play the titular Django, who under the tutelage of a German bounty hunter played by Christoph Waltz, squares off against Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) the brutal owner of mixed race club and his top slave, the manipulative Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson), in order to free his wife Broomhilda...which brings us to this latest bit of news.
As the trades chased the news of Foxx being "chosen" to play the lead in Tarantino's film, Variety offered up a new morsel of info, revealing that Kerry Washington is in the mix of contenders to play Broomhilda in the film.
In our script review of "Django Unchained" we said that the character itself is kind of essentially amounting to the damsel in distress of the picture, who really loves her man, and…that's about it. The tricky thing about casting this part is the fact the role would require a fair amount of nudity which might nix the interest of some of the bigger A-list type names (ie. Zoe Saldana or Paula Patton). Again, there isn't much to the part and while we'd love to see someone like Taraji P. Henson or Naomie Harris (who is being lured for "Bond 23") jump into the film, we won't be surprised if a smaller name winds up snagging the part -- we suggest Meagan Good ("Eve's Bayou," "Brick," "D.E.B.S") or Teairra Mari from "The Lottery Ticket".
An interesting bit to keep an eye on regardless, and we're sure more names will surface in the coming days. Lots more parts still to cast with a lot of time to get it together. Filming starts later this year, with a Christmas Day 2012 release date scheduled.
LG | June 8, 2012 5:19 PM
Since when did Paula Patton become an A-lister?
Chuck | March 18, 2012 2:00 AM
Tarantino is so dumb. "Broomhilda" is the name of a cartoon witch! What he really meant was, "Brunhilda." When the movie comes out everybody can laugh about it.
Donella | October 12, 2011 8:09 AM
The role of Broomhilda was written as a piece of crap. Every Black actress in Hollywood knows it.
Mirna Lutcha | September 15, 2011 12:19 PM
The names that are being considered for the role are being thrown around by the completely ignorant. This role calls for a beautiful dark-skinned actress, Broomhilda is a slave probably straight off the boat from Africa or and in Hollywood, that almost does not exist. I'd like to see actress Denise Milfort in the role. She's the only one who CAN do Broomhilda justice.
Donella | July 28, 2011 9:30 AM
I congratulate each and every African-American male and female actor who had the integrity, strength of character, and courage to choose to pass by this story of exploitative degradation, patronizing dominance, and theatrical humiliation.
The fantasy of white male rape (humiliation, dominance, degradation, torture) of Black females has taken on an even more insidious meaning with the arrival of First Lady Michelle Obama and her two daughters to the White House. Stephen King's Bag of Bones and Robert Kirkman's Walking Dead comic exhibited the hideous thoughts lurking below the creative process. Both of the rape scenes in these works were brutal, detailed, extensive, violent, and hate-filled. And now Quentin Tarantino wants to glorify this sick, sociopathic fantasy for the fanboys who are eager to celebrate their frustration with and hatred of Black American females.
Someday, Octavia Butler's Kindred will be made into a movie and I will view that story of a complex, three-dimensional, and intelligent reaction to antebellum sociopathy twice on opening weekend. One day, we'll see the story of slavery told from the slave's perspective (as the main character not as the sidekick to the hero) and it will be a day of revelation.
Tori | June 24, 2011 12:08 PM
She's not exactly who I had in mind for this part of a persecuted and exploited slavewoman...Kerry is extremely classy and puts forward a sophisticated onscreen presence. I don't know if that would mesh too well with this particular role.
padre | June 23, 2011 11:06 AM
So, DiCaprio has been confirmed? Well well. December 2012 shall certainly be quite cutthroat at the box office.
Clara | June 23, 2011 10:10 AM
That was before she had a baby. It is a different ballgame now that she is a mother. A useless role like this is not worth accepting imo. This would be one more bad role for her. She isn't the greatest actress but she can do better than this, jumping the broom and just wright. even MI: 4 better than this.
and in black hollywood, she is light skinned and gorgeous, she is pretty much A list off of that alone.
Ken | June 23, 2011 7:39 AM
QT can get a good performance out of Jamie Foxx. If he thinks Foxx can do the role, I believe him.
Nik Grape | June 23, 2011 6:09 AM
Bah....the role of Broomhilda is a pretty thankless part. I would be surprised if any A-lister would actually want it.
I'm looking forward to who will be cast as Ace Woody as, next to Candie and Stephen, that's the meatiest villain part.
But in all honesty, the script was underwhelming. Im hoping some things get changed and some plot holes get filled up.
If Foxx is indeed locked as sources indicate, i will lose even more interest in this.
Abner | June 23, 2011 6:09 AM
Paula Patton is A-list?
Paula Patton has had some nudity.

NASHVILLE (AP) - If you thought flu season was over, think again. It's only just now hitting its stride.
But it's not too late to get vaccinated. Many county health clinics are even offering the vaccine for free.
Dr. Kelly Moore is the medical director of the Tennessee Immunization Program. She said flu season usually peaks in January or February, but vaccinations tend to drop off sharply after Thanksgiving.
The vaccine is especially important for people who run a high risk of developing serious complications. That includes pregnant women, children under 2 years old and adults aged 65 or older. The last group accounts for 90% of the deaths from seasonal flu each year.

I Had a Dream!
Yup that is right, I do sleep from time to time and about a week ago I experienced a revelation. I had a dream, and in that dream the Eagles were on the clock. After a few minutes, I heard eleven words unexpectedly paired together.
"The Philadelphia Eagles select Derrick Morgan, defensive end from Georgia Tech." After that I woke up.
Now I know what you are thinking, "Dick, what the fuck are you smoking you crazy asshole!" Well.............that.......that's irrelevant, and don't call me an asshole, jerk.
So if you hear Derrick Morgan's name called when the Eagles are on the clock(not necessarily at 24), just remember who prophesied it first, and if he isn't called......well then you should have known better then to take someone with the username "DickMuffin" seriously in the first place......I mean come on, what the hell is your problem.

A new Platte Institute study outlines negative effects Medicaid expansion would have on Nebraska.
A newly proposed bill, LB 887, aims to expand Medicaid in the state, so the 55,000 people who can't afford health insurance get covered.
But certain lawmakers said the expansion is not good for Nebraska, according to findings in the Platte Institute study released Wednesday.
"The WIN plan is designed in a way that is likely to lead to uncontrollable and unpredictable costs," Jim Vokal of the PLatte Institute said. "Not the kind of budget stability the proponents had hoped."
If passed, the Wellness in Nebraska, or WIN Act, would expand Medicaid through federal government funding for three years. After that, the state of Nebraska would have to pay 10 percent, or about $60 to $70 million over the next decade.
State policymakers said there are smarter ways to take care of the coverage gap, such as getting funded from private state organizations.
They also said there's not enough doctors right now for those who are already covered, let alone people who would get covered under the WIN act.
"How do you get those people covered," Sen. Ken Schilz of Ogallala said. "Do you, in effect, reduce the quality of health care for everybody that has to rely upon that system?"
Sen. Jeremy Nordquist of Omaha argues that's where the federal government funding comes into play.
"That $2.5 or $3 billion that we are going to bring in from Washington, D.C., is how we're going to hire the nurses and doctors and all the health professionals we need border to border in Nebraska," Nordquist said.
Nordquist also said right now, families have to pay an extra $1,000 a year to pick up the cost of premiums, but said the WIN Act would change that.
"If we reduce the uninsured, we're going to reduce that amount and reduce people's premiums," Nordquist said.
LB 887 should be brought to the health and human services committee in the next week. If voted on, it would then hit the legislative floor.

National Federation of Canadian University Students
National Federation of Canadian University Students fonds. -- 1926-1969. -- 43 m of textual records and other material.
The National Federation of Canadian University Students came into being in December of 1926 in the wake of a British Empire debating team which toured Canada. The founding conference was held at McGill University in Montreal. The organization was founded to create "a better understanding among students, more cooperation ... among ... universities, ... and to furnish a means of creating international ties with groups of students in other countries." The Federation became dormant during the years of World War II but revived in 1946. In 1964 the Federation underwent a re-organization and was renamed the Canadian Union of Students in an attempt to conciliate differences between English-speaking and French-speaking students. The fonds contains an essay which outlines these problems, titled "Assessment of the History of CUS/NFCUS (1926-1965)". It officially dissolved in 1969.
There have been four accruals. Part of the first accrual was microfilmed
and the original material destroyed. What remains in original form of
the first accrual is arranged as follows:
CUS: General Office Files, 1963-1969, Boxes 1-30, 32-54
Microfilms of first accrual: 1-6 CUS printed materials; 7-14 CUS day files and outgoing correspondence. Also the first accrual contained a microfilm which is labelled M.F. Hutchinson.
The second accrual, CUS-LeGoff (37-1991), consists of correspondence,
reports, and publications.
Researchers may also wish to consult the Paul Becker fonds. Becker was active in many student organizations, including NFCUS.
Title based on contents of the fonds.

What Cassel's injury has probably assured Chiefs's fans
- Barry Richardson will be benched in favor of Jared Gaither for the rest of the season. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if this were Richardson's last season as a Chief and if that's the case I don't have a problem with that.
- The Chiefs will draft an OT in the first round of the draft, I have us picking somewhere between 10 - 15 in the draft, so one should fall to us. If one doesn't seem like it will, don't be surprised to see or hear rumors of Pioli trying to trade up a couple of spots to grab one. The only possible thing that will stop this from happening is if Gaither turns out to be the beast he was in Baltimore.

Migration Studies Initiative
The migration studies initiative was developed as a scholarly response to the increase of human movement worldwide, which originates in the economic, technical and political changes of the past few decades. These changes have taken millions of men and women far from home, primarily to seek work, join their families, and take refuge from conflict and ecological disaster.
Not surprisingly, there is increasing demand for studies of this crucial and multifaceted phenomenon. As a result, key research organizations such as the Social Science Research council and Russell Sage Foundation have instituted a variety of programs out of concern for the quality – and quantity – of graduate education in migration.
Changes in the field of History are responsive to the need for a more global, transnational and interdisciplinary perspective that studies of migration encourage. Historians of the U.S. are less likely to study one immigrant group at one location and more likely to study multiple groups, multiple locations, and to be more sophisticated about theory and the process of migration. Moreover, historians of Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Europe are giving increased attention to the history of migration.
The migrations of the past 40 years worldwide thus are becoming the objects of historical research, offering a much needed historical perspective and understanding to complement presentist sociological and anthropological orientations.
The Program
The History Department launched the Migration Studies Initiative in 2002 with strong support from Michigan State University. Currently, key aspects to the Migration Studies Initiative are:
- An interdisciplinary graduate course, "Methods and Paradigms for the Study of Migration" (History 854/Sociology 854). Developed and taught by Leslie Moch in consultation with Steve Gold of Sociology and Andrea Louie of Anthropology, the course enrolled a dozen students from the departments of History, Sociology, Hispanic Literature, Education and Anthropology during spring semester 2004; it is offered every spring semester.
- The development and elaboration of a minor field for graduate students in Migration Studies.
- A grass-roots Immigrant citizenships/Migration Studies Seminar group that offers graduate students and faculty the chance to meet and to talk about their work.
- Speakers from other universities to engage students and faculty; those for 2004-2005 included Leo Lucassen, University of Amsterdam, Michel Giraud, Centre National des Recherches Scientifiques (CNRS, Paris), and Karen Richman (University of Notre Dame), who presented along with Javier Pescador (History).
Migration studies builds on strengths throughout the College of Social Science to make MSU a powerhouse in this area.
The focus of the program is to train graduate students and attract faculty who can produce the quality of migration studies that have important policy and planning implications. Migration Studies can also provide courses that respond to the considerable undergraduate interest in human migration worldwide and offer public expertise to alumni and the university community about this key contemporary issue.
The Migration Studies program builds on the strengths of the College of Social Science and of the Department of History. In the short term, it is aided by additional funding. It is also linked to several important programs in the Department of History. The highly successful Comparative Black History program, developed over the years with the leadership of Darlene Clark Hine, has attracted new faculty and students whose interests follow the African Diaspora to South America, the Caribbean, the U.S. and Europe. Likewise, the dynamic development Atlantic world field, like many of the most important developing fields in history, is based on the recognition that the movement of people, ideas, and labor systems is fundamental to the historical process.
International migration is embedded in many of the courses in the Comparative Black History program and elsewhere in American History. Javier Pescador has, for example, taught courses on Mexicans-Americans in the U.S. as well as immigrant-oriented courses in sports history. Denicio Valdés has taught a graduate course on labor and migration in the Americas and an undergraduate course on the Chicano movement. Leslie Moch has twice taught an upper-level course on migration in 20th-century Europe, a History 201 that investigates immigrant lives, as well as the interdisciplinary graduate course History/Sociology 854.
The distinctive character of migration studies at Michigan State University lies in the global reach of History Department programs and its ties with the International Centers which offer key resources and programs. Our faculty and graduate students are already closely tied with the Julian Samora Research Institute and the Centers for African Studies, Asian Studies, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and European and Russian Studies. With the development of the Interdisciplinary African Diaspora Ph.D. Program (AAAS) and the Ph.D. in Chicano/Latino Studies, we will be in a position to be at the center of international studies, a "center without walls" connecting shared concerns with research and courses that stretch across and join disciplines. The move of the Department of History into the College of Social Sciences facilitates connections between migration concerns and the revising Global-Urban Program and the Women in International Development (WID) center.

Third Annual Lepus Studios Easter Egg Gallery (2012)
This is it! The Third Annual Easter Egg gallery is up. Enjoy Easter eggs decorated with Lepus Studio characters, plus tributes to some other favorite webcomics. Happy Easter!
Lepus Studio Easter Eggs
Draconis from Draconis Wicked (by me)
Draconis, the anti-hero of my newest comics, Draconis Wicked.
Maxwell McGrath from Urban Underbrush (by me)
Maxwell the maintenance man won the "most popular character" poll. It only seemed fitting to put him in the egg gallery.
Tributes to Other Web Comics
Rhea Snaketail from Slightly Damned by Chu Wilson
Slightly Damned is a story about angels, demons, mortals, secrets, love, and pet rocks. It's full of twists and turns, yet it's never hard to follow. (Some mature content)
Charles from The Abominable Charles Christopher by Karl Kerschl
The Abominable Charles Christopher features a lovable sasquatch, his animal neighbors, human challengers, and spirit guides. You'll think the art is the most beautifully crafted thing on the internet. But the story itself is equally well-crafted.
Dustin from WereGeek by Alina Pete
WereGeek shows us what happens when love and enthusiasm for all thing geeky take hold of us at the primal level. (Probably sounds like a lot of the people you know, right?)
A Jinxlet from Starslip by Kristopher Straub
One of the best loved sci-fi comics on the internet is now in it's final decent. Catch it before it's gone. Jinxlets, of course are still the most adorable creatures in the known universe. I got mine right here somewhere...
Woo from Sandra and Woo by Oliver Knorzer and Powree
A story of a pet racoon and the people who love him. (Some mature content)
Bill from The Legend of Bill by David Reddick
Legend of Bill is your typical fantasy tale of an account-turned-barbarian with a secret past and a powerful destiny.

Allow me to say it for you:
"Has it ever occurred to you that you might be delusional?"
— Janet Evanovich (Fearless Fourteen)
Katherine Heigl? Stephanie Plum could take Heigl out with one well tossed donut!
I'm sorry, but what part of Katherine Heigl's blond, thin, patrician profile screams Jersey Girl with a pastry fetish and a knack for blowing up cars?
Sandra Bullock. Yes. Marisa Tomei. Sure. Heck, toss any number of women in a pair of too tight 501's and a frizzy wig and I might even buy it.
But Katherine Heigl, while she may have some box office cred, doesn't have the sexual (albeit accidental) heat to warm a sex starved college kid, let alone a stud like Joe Morelli or a cool guy like Ranger.
Do. Not. Want!
