Latin American War of Independence
From World History Wiki
How did the Haitian Revolution of 1804 impact the western hemisphere?
The Haitian Slave Revolt of 1804 was the spark of freedom for many countries, and even its own. The Spanish camed and took massive enslaved Africans to work on the lands they conquered. But the haitians had enough, so an educated creole slave named Toussaint L'Ouvertuer led the haitians into a revolt. The revolt was a success it help them get their land back, but it was a hard fight their leader were captured and later dying under Napoleon arms. In 1820, Haiti finally becamed a republic. But even when Haiti becamed a republic, they had to struggle to acheive their goal of democracy.
Ethnic And Social Hierarchy
Spanish born peninsulares dominated Latin American political and social life. Only they could hold top jobs in the government and the Church. Many creoles who owned the haciendas, ranches, and mines bitterly resented their second class staus. Merchants fretted under mercantilist policies that tied the colonies to Spain. Meanwhile, a growing population of mestizos and mulattoes, were angry at being denied the status, wealth, and power that were available to whites. Native Americans suffered economic misery under the Spanish, who had conquered the lands of their ancestors. In the Caribbean region and parts of South American, masses of enslaved Africans who worked on plantations longed for freedom. Beyond dissatisfaction with Spanish rule, the different classes had little in common. In fact, they distrusted and feared one another. At times, they worked together against the Spanish. But once independence was achieved, the creoles, who had led revolts, dominated the governments.
Enlightenment ideas
In the 1700s, educated creoles read the works of Enlightenment thinkers. They watched colonists in North America throw off British rule. Also they liked the works of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. During the French Revolution, young creoles like Simon Bolivar traveled in Europe and were inspired by the ideals of liberty, equality,and fraternity.
Important Leaders
Haiti's Struggle For Independence
When revolution had erupted elsewhere in Latin American, in a French-ruled colony on the island of Hispaniola. Which is Haiti now called, was French's most valued possession in the 1700s. In Haiti, French planters owned very profitable sugar plantations worked by nearly a half million enslaved Africans. Sugar plantations were labor intensive. The slave were overworked and underfed. Haiti also had about 25,000 free mulattoes. Many were wealthy, and some also owned slaves. However, they did not have full equality with French creoles.
A Slave Revolt
In the 1790, revolutionaries in French were debating ways to abolish slavery in the West Indies. However, debating the issue in Paris did not help enslaved Haitians gain their freedom. Embittered by suffering and inspired by the talk of liberty and equality, Haiti's slaves expolored in revolt in 1791. The Rebels were fortunate to find an intelligent and skillful leader in Toussaint L'Ouverture, a self-educated former slave. The struggle was long and complex. Toussaint's army of former slaves faced many enemies. Some mulattoes joined French planters against the rebels. France, Spain, and Britian each sent armies to Haiti. The fighting took more lives than any other revolution in the Americas. By 1798, the rebels had achieved their goal; enslaved Haitians had been freed. And even though Haiti was still a French colony, Toussaint's forces controlled most of thr island.
In France, maeantime, Napolean Bonaparte rose to power. In 1802, he sent a large army to reconquer Haiti. Toussaint urged Haitians once again to take up arms, this time to fight for full independence from France. The guerrilla force were aided by a deadly ally, yellow fever, a disease which took a growing toll on the invaders. In April 1802, the France agreed to a truce, or temporary peace. Shortly after, the French captured Toussaint and carried him in chains to France. Ten months later, he died there in a cold mountain prison. But Haiti's struggle for freedom continued. In 1804, Haitian leaders declared independence. With yellow fever destroying his army, Napolean abandoned Haiti. In the following years, rival Haitian leaders fought for power. Finally, in 1820, Haiti became a republic.
How the Revolution Was Won
The slave rebellion developed into a revolutionary war over the course of some twelve years, as first forces loyal to the French Crown, then the Spanish, the British, and finally, the French Republicans, tried to win control of the territory. During these often-overlapping interventions both the black ex-slaves and mulatto freemen entered into a series of tactical alliances with contending foreign powers. The commander of the black armies, Toussaint L'Ouverture, in particular, displayed an astute understanding of inter-colonial rivalries, forging and breaking these alliances to maximum effect to further to struggle for freedom from slavery. A number of other factors also counted against the European forces. In the context of a war against elusive and mobile ex-slave armies, the Europeans' military tactics and strategy proved absolutely inappropriate. Fixed positions and static formations may have worked in Europe, but not in Saint Domingue against guerrilla forces with a far superior knowledge of the terrain on which they are fighting. The European troops were also at a significant disadvantage, being neither able to cope with the fiercely hot climate, nor with the local tropical diseases. Yellow fever and malaria are estimated to have claimed the lives of thousands of British and French troops, and the leaders of Napoleon's invasion force, his brother-in-law, General Charles Leclerc, himself died of a fever on the northern island of La Tortue in November 1802.
Haitian After the War
When Haiti broke free of French rule in 1804, there were high hopes for this predominantly black republic. But after nearly two centuries of independence, the Haitian people are still struggling to achieve true democracy. The country's constitution, originally based on the French Napoleonic Code and the U.S. Constitution, has been changed many times over the years, mainly to reinforce the positions of those in power. Virtual dictatorship had been the rule for almost 50 years since the Duvalier regimes, Haitian politics were marked by a period of coups d'etat, rigged elections, and martial laws. Since then, Haiti has experienced a number of democratic electrons, but every elected government has faced the implaceble challenge of serving a deeply divided country.
Once the richest slave colony in the world, Haiti is now the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and ranks 153 out of 177 countries. Haiti's national debt stands at $1.2 billion or roughly $150 per person. Most people would be considered lucky to make that a year.
- Social Divisions
Upper Class-The Haitian upper class makes up less than 5 percent of the population. It is composed mostly of mulattoes, but well-educated and wealthy blacks are also included.
Middle Class-The middle class is a relatively new phenomenon in Haiti, brought about by wider educational opportunities and industrialization. Middle class families see education as a means of achieving higher status.
Urban Lower Class-The urban class make up about half the urban population. The urban lower class works extremely hard to try to achieve better standard of living.
Rural Lower Class-Poor farmers make up most of the Haitian population. They are on the bottom of the social ladder, and most live in abject proverty. They grow their own food and live in shacks.
Countries Independence And Revolutions
Mexico and Central America Independence
The Haitian revolt of 1804 was a big impact on the Western Hemisphere, because it was the first black independent country. With the help of an educated slave the Haitian were able to keep thier freedom. When they acheived their freedom they tried to make up a stable government. And they are still trying to make one today. The Haitian can't get their government in order because of the bad leadership they keep having. The leadership brought the country down, now today the people there can't even make $150 dollars a year. But Haiti help other countries to gain their independence, because of their will. Many countries followed in Haiti footsteps and rebel against the French who were controlling their land. The Haitian slave revolt of 1804 help haitian in many ways and now it seems like they can't get much help today. The Haitian ecomony is slowing going down, which is making Haitian one of the poorest country. Even with Haiti being the poorest country, they help the western hemisphere come to reality.
The Haitian Revolution impact the western hemisphere because their war scared other countries. Also it help other countries that were under slavery that they can too take their land back. The creoles in Haiti sparks other countries like South America to fight for their country independence. Because of the great leadership of Toussaint L'Ouveture the haitian revolution was a great success. In other countries like Mexico and Central America they also fought for their independence. But the Haitian slave revolt scared the creoles in South America. They wanted power over their land like the haitians, but didn't want their ways of life to change.

Agents of Change
With so many dubious sources of information floating around the Net, websites like this one, which use the utmost care and best taste to pick formidable texts, stand out like lighthouses on a stormy night.
Public Domain Review, an exquisite online catalogue /
The Internet is a phenomenon which, like literature, does not cease to amaze us. It will continue to unfold endlessly giving life to new folds —a cycle that never comes to a standstill. You can actually become a well-read person, or research an entire Ph.D without ever holding a book. But, what happens if you don't actually know what you're looking for? The overwhelming feeling we get when we face too many options is one of the issues modern man must deal with, which also makes it hard to establish filters that can control the quality of the flows we receive. We can easily get lost among these unruly seas, and losing ourselves leads to paralysis.
Luckily for us though, there is a long tradition of people who are willing to sacrifice their time for universal access to knowledge. Websites like The Poetry Foundation, Bartleby and Project Gutenberg have voluntarily catalogued millions of works and great translations that their users can have free access to. However, one of the most fascinating online websites is Public Domain Review, an Open Knowledge Foundation project that has given Faena Sphere a chamber of wonders to review.
Founded by Adam Green and Jonathan Gray, the website presents the reader with some of the most extravagant and beautiful texts the Internet has to offer. In Green's words 'The Public Domain Review aims to be a kind of web-based wunderkammer of works which have entered the public domain, a cabinet of interesting curiosities with comments and criticism from contemporary writers, artists and scholars.'
Public Domain Review could easily be the digital realm's ideal library. We do not lose time there, neither does our attention go to waste. Take De Monstris, by Fortunio Liceti, or the Vera Historia by Luciano de Samosanta for example; the beastiaries that inhabited the best minds of the second and twelfth centuries are undoubtedly worth pouring over and getting lost in. In sum, Public Domain is a luminous example that represents a sound model of digital curatorship.Tagged: Internet, Agents of Change, Public Domain Review

While going to look up all the teams Superbowl win%'s I came across a list of things that have never occurred at a Superbowl, and thought it would be interesting enough to post here. This is from Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Super_Bowl_records#cite_ref-0) Here you go
In the history of the Super Bowl, the following firsts have yet to occur:
- Snow - Super Bowl IX had drizzle; Super Bowl XLI had rain. An ice storm hit the Dallas area prior to Super Bowl XLV, but the game was played with the roof closed. Super Bowl XLVIII will be the first northern Super Bowl played outdoors, but there is no guarantee that there will be snow.
- An all-wild card matchup (teams who failed to win their divisions) - Nine wild card teams (since the 1970 merger) have won conference titles, but never two in the same season.
- A shutout - Every Super Bowl participant to date has scored. In four cases, the offenses have failed to score a touchdown.
- A punt return for a touchdown. There have been 3 blocked punts returned for touchdowns however.
- A second half kickoff for a touchdown. Super Bowl XLI was the first time a game's opening kickoff had been returned for a touchdown, and is still the only time a kickoff touchdown did not follow a score by the opposing team.
- A 90-or-more-yard play from scrimmage. Seven kickoffs and one interception have been returned 90 or more yards, but 90 yards has never been gained on one offensive play.
- Home field advantage (playing in one's own home stadium) - The closest instances to this in terms of distance have been Super Bowl XIV at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena 30 miles from the Los Angeles Rams' home stadium, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and Super Bowl XIX played at Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto which is about 25 miles south of the San Francisco 49ers' home stadium, Candlestick Park in San Francisco. Were a team to earn a berth in a Super Bowl being played in its home-stadium in a year when that team's conference is scheduled as the "road" team, the team would remain so designated for the purposes of uniform selection and the coin-toss.
- Two teams from the same metropolitan area: one city currently has two franchises: New York City has the Giants and the Jets. (In the past Los Angeles was home to the Raiders and the Rams, but both teams left town in 1995.) Also two pairs of teams share a common metropolitan area, although they are based in different cities: the Baltimore Ravens and the Washington Redskins; as well as the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders. Every team mentioned above has won a Super Bowl, but never against its neighbor.
- Overtime - The narrowest margin of victory in a Super Bowl is one point, in Super Bowl XXV (1991). The closest instances to overtime, in which the result of the last play of the game could have realistically led to a tie and thus an overtime, have been:
- An appearance by every team - Four teams have yet to reach their first Super Bowl: the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans. The Browns and Lions both won NFL championships in the pre-Super Bowl era. The latter two are expansion teams that were formed less than two decades ago.
- Every team winning - 14 teams have yet to win their first Super Bowl: Cincinnati Bengals, San Diego Chargers, Atlanta Falcons, Tennessee Titans, Carolina Panthers, Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, and the Buffalo Bills along with those four that have not appeared in Super Bowl. The Chargers, the Titans (known as Houston Oilers) in the 1960's, and the Bills all won AFL championships in the pre-Super Bowl era. The Eagles, and the Cardinals both won NFL championships in the pre-Super Bowl era. The Vikings won an NFL championship, but lost Super Bowl IV to the AFL champs, the Chiefs. Thus The Jaguars, Texans, Bengals, Falcons, Panthers, Seahawks, have yet to win their first NFL Championship pre- or post-Super Bowl era.
- A team winning without a touchdown - Every Super Bowl champion to date has scored at least one touchdown in their efforts (New York Jets scored only one touchdown in their Super Bowl III triumph).
- No touchdowns scored - In every Super Bowl to date, there have been at least two touchdowns scored (Fewest combined - 2, in Super Bowl III).
- A three-peat. Two teams (New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys) won three Super Bowl titles in four years and the Pittsburgh Steelers won 4 Super Bowl titles in 6 years, which included back to back championships twice. The Miami Dolphins appeared in three consecutive Super Bowls from 1971-1973, winning the final two, making them the team having come closest to a three-peat. The Buffalo Bills appeared in four consecutive Super Bowls, but lost all four of them.
- Fair catch kick - A fair catch kick has never been attempted in the Super Bowl.
- Interception return for touchdown by a losing team - by 2011 the teams are 11-0 when returning a picked pass for touchdown.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) –Governor Scott Walker said in his annual State of the State Address that creating jobs remains his top priority as the new legislative session begins.
Walker pledged to create 250-thousand jobs while campaigning ahead of the 2010 gubernatorial election.
He also said last week the 250-thousand job goal is still attainable.
But Walker, as well as Democrats and Republicans in the legislature, agree that closing the "skills gap" is necessary if Wisconsin is to realize its full, economic potential.
"There are some jobs in Wisconsin that are unfilled," said Assembly Rep. Jill Billings (D, La Crosse).
The skills gap refers to a lack of trained workers in the state, which employers say prevents them from being able to hire more people and fill job openings.
A report in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel puts the number of jobs unfilled due to the skills gap at 35-thousand.
"If people go back to work, that's going to help Wisconsin small businesses," said Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca(D, Kenosha). "Because if people are working and have more money in their pockets, they're going to spend on remodeling their homes, new clothing for their kids and they'll address other needs they have in their household."
"That type of economic stimulus is badly needed," Barca added.
He said the state also shouldn't completely rule out devoting more funding to worker training.
Most money given to workforce development currently comes from federal grants.
"We have a budget surplus," Barca said."But since it's not a big surplus, we have to determine where those resources can do the most good for the middle class. Clearly one area that would be most vital is providing that skill training."
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R, Rochester) also suggested he might be open to devoting more state funding to training workers.
"I'm open to any idea," Vos said. "The biggest concept we want to fulfill is that any worker who wants to work has a chance to do that."
"Typically, worker training is an area that the federal government has taken the lead on, but if there are gaps where the federal government hasn't been able to do what's necessary, I'm definitely open to looking at those," Vos said.
"But our resources are tight," Vos added. "So my preference would be to spend the money we have more wisely as opposed to just adding more to the pot."
State Senator Jennifer Shilling (D, La Crosse) did not indicate whether she would support state taxpayer money going to worker training.
But she said one way to better train future workers is through increasing funding to schools.
"We need to look at our university system and our technical school system," Shilling said. "In the last budget they took significant cuts to their funding."
"So certainly as the Governor starts to talk about his budget this year, I'm hoping he'll start to prioritize our technical schools, our university system and even our K through 12 schools," Shilling said."We need to look at investing in people here in Wisconsin. They're the work force in this state."
The Governor is scheduled to release his budget proposal in February.
He has indicated he might be open to giving additional, performance-based funding to schools.
"In our budget, we will lay out plans to provide a financial incentive for high-performing and rapidly improving schools,"Walker said in his State of the State Address.
"We have a fantastic university system, a great technical college system and a great K through 12 system," Vos said.
"One of the priorities we're going to discuss over the spring session is doing a better job of matching people that already have the skills with positions that are out there, as well as taking the open positions and seeing how we can fill them," Vos said.

Hornsey man guilty of glass attack in Tottenham pub during row over flowers
Updated 1:04pm Thursday 19th June 2014 in News By Megan Jula
A man who glassed a pub drinker in the face during a row over flower baskets has been found guilty of malicious wounding.
Rupert Rupert Brown, 45, of Priory Road, Hornsey, threw a glass at Carl Maude during a brawl at the Woodberry Tavern, in Seven Sisters Road, Tottenham, on June 30 last year.
The fight began when Brown's girlfriend asked Mr Maude if he wanted buy hanging flower baskets. Mr Maude replied that she had stolen the baskets, at which point the woman brought in Brown to defend her.
One witness, who spoke from behind a curtain explained how the argument escalated: "He (Brown) was quite calm at first, but to seemed to be getting more agitated."
The witness described how Brown threw a glass that hit Mr Maude in the face, "like a bullseye". The jury was shown a picture taken that night showed the victim bleeding from cuts on his head and face.
During a police interview after the incident, Brown told an officer: "I've done nothing to this geezer."
Defence barrister for Mr Brown, Andrew Jordan, said his client had thrown the glass in self defence, after being racially abused.
James Shepherd, for the prosecution, told Wood Green Crown Court: "Mr Brown says my client fell down stairs or slipped on a banana skin. But the Crown's case is that Mr Brown caused injury to Mr Maude, armed with a glass. It was all intentional and unlawful."
Brown was found guilty following the two day trial at Wood Green Crown Court last week and will be sentenced at the court on July 4.

VANCOUVER — For Sarah McLachlan, it's a time of realization over resignation.
After six years filled with many changes in her life, including a divorce documented on 2010 album Laws of Illusion, the death of her father after a long battle with cancer, and leaving her longtime label and management team at Nettwerk, the Vancouver-based artist is ready to — as her latest album puts it — "shine on."
"I look at the arc of the last six years: All the male anchors — gone," the 46-year-old artist said in a recent phone interview with The Vancouver Sun. "I think I really had to set about redefining myself as to what the second half of my life is going to look like."
Shine On, McLachlan's eighth studio album, out May 6 via her new label Verve, is a tribute to the power of hope, life and love and one that allowed McLachlan to reflect upon the many emotions that have rocked her life of late.
Produced by longtime creative partner Pierre Marchand, Shine On is an album much less metaphorical than previous efforts, one that speaks with McLachlan's own voice more openly and with a closer lyrical connection to real life.
If it took four years to bear, it had a lot to do with life getting in the way: On top of so many changes, McLachlan continues her dedicated work with her Vancouver-based School of Music, a venture going on 13 years and almost as old as her eldest daughter India, who is now 12.
"I've never been prolific," McLachlan said. "I was hoping it was going to take three years. I even made the bold statement last year: 'Album coming out in the fall!' And it didn't. Life gets busy, and for me as an artist I've never been able to force myself to sit down and say, 'I'm going to write a song.' It comes when it comes."
Song For My Father and Surrender And Certainty both address mortality after her father's death in 2010, and suddenly finding herself without her parents (her mother died in 2001).
"I was lost and rudderless — that was a profound moment for me," she said.
Beautiful Girl is about parent-children relationships, and In Your Shoes addresses bullying and is inspired by the story of Pakistani teenager Malala Yousafzai. Flesh And Blood is about physical love and re-igniting passion in one's life (McLachlan is now dating former Canucks player Geoff Courtnall).
"For me the concept of Shine On is, 'Are we going to be resigned, thinking this is as good as it gets? Or are we going to suck the marrow out every single day and get as much as we can out of it?'" McLachlan asked. "That's how I feel. If I don't feel that way every day, I work toward it. We only get one kick at the can.
"Being with my dad for the last days of his life — he never stopped living. He wasn't waiting to die. He was holding on to every day and he was graceful and kind and full of gratitude for every day he had."
Just as difficult as her divorce from husband Ashwin Sood in 2008 was her split from manager Terry McBride and label Nettwerk in 2011 after 24 years of partnership.
"It was incredibly hard," McLachlan said. "It took me three years (to get over). I'm very grateful for what Terry McBride did for my career. I just think at a certain point in time there has to be a change. I think perhaps both sides became complacent. It's like a marriage. We had so many habits we had with each other that maybe weren't that healthy. They're great guys, and I have a huge respect for them. And that's why it was so difficult.
"I thought, 'I need to make a change, and I need to change everything.' And unfortunately they were a part of that."
Her relationship with Marchand, however, hasn't changed much.
The producer's fingerprints are just as clearly stamped on Shine On as they have been on McLachlan's previous efforts (he has been working with McLachlan since 1991's Solace), giving the singer-songwriter her signature glimmer.
However, McLachlan did veer off the usual path by bringing in Bob Rock to helm Flesh And Blood and another atmospheric rock piece entitled Love Beside Me.
"Just for shits and giggles," McLachlan said with a laugh. "I was trying to challenge myself. I've been working with Pierre for so long. And again it was around that same shift. I love Pierre, we do great things together but I wanted to try something different.
"Sam (Feldman) said, 'Just meet Bob.' And I said, 'Bob? He did Metallica! Are you kidding me?' But he was such a lovely man, we really connected. But for the quiet, introspective stuff I needed Pierre."

AIArchitect, the email newsletter of the American Institute of Architects, has dedicated today's issue to what it calls "emerging professionals"–those AIA members within their first ten years of licensed practice. The image above–"Allow time for volunteering opportunities"–is presented as one of "10 Ways Architects Can Support the Next Generation." With this infographic and message, the AIA sadly, if accurately positions service to the public as outside the traditional practice of architecture and the licensure process as they exist today. (The lone mention of pro bono service links to a June 2007 document, adapted from an even older AIArchitect article.)
The AIA could do so much more to encourage and facilitate public service and lifelong careers of service. It need not look much further than the example provided by the American Bar Association, which runs a decade's old Center for Pro Bono, supports a cadre of public interest lawyers, and innumerable other related efforts internally and externally. Thankfully, a small, but vibrant breed of public interest architectural internships provide viable models, just begging to be replicated and scaled. Bridging the Gap: Public-Interest Architectural Internships, a new book edited by Georgia Bizios and Katie Wakeford, catalogs those many of those models, as profiled here and here previously.

Today's quick post is a project completed in 2004 for the nonprofit Skyscraper Museum in New York City, which had been displaced from its previous home following September 11, 2001, due to its proximity to Ground Zero. The museum's new and permanent space, which it owns, was generously donated by developers Millennium Partners, designed pro bono by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), and built pro bono by Tishman Construction Corporation.
The museum now includes a gallery for ever-evolving exhibitions, a bookstore, and a mezzanine for staff offices. The highly-polished stainless steel floors and ceilings as well as other reflective surfaces mirror the visual effect of skyscrapers themselves, drawing the eye upward.

Earlier this year, FastCompany's Co.Design published a provocative, sometimes comical, and overall insightful infographic by Jessica Hische, "Designers, Should You Work for Free?" The dizzyingly intricate flowchart immediately went viral among designers, as it perfectly encapsulated the ambivalence and frustration so many feel about being repeatedly asked to do friends a solid without any compensation, at best, and without any consideration as to how much time and energy good design actually takes, at worst. It also used a common catchphrase that often gets bandied about in the design world (and beyond): pro bono.
In his first contribution to Co.Design, published yesterday, PublicInterestDesign.org's own John Cary debunks Five Myths About Pro Bono Design." Cary explains that, for starters, all-too-often the term "pro bono is used without much context and, too often, without real accuracy."
The image above accompanied the article on Co.Design and was sourced from Flickr user Pineapple 9995.

A new model in the practice of pro bono design is a verynice design studio, a social enterprise, full-service design practice, started in 2009 by Los Angeles-based designer Matthew Manos. Working for over 100 clients–as diverse as a high school in Vancouver and the United Nations–a verynice design studio operates with 40 volunteers internationally is "dedicated to helping those who help others." 70-80% of its work is done on a pro bono basis, with the remaining work financially supporting the organization's efforts. Their wide-ranging work was featured in The Huffington Post in mid-May, but in the official words of its website:
The studio provides visual communication services that ranges from brand identities and websites, to motion graphics and magazines. Services are provided to deserving organizations, groups, and individuals at no charge. We are a collective of designers, futurists, activists, environmentalists, teachers, strategists, students, authors, friends, and verynice people, working together.

One common catchphrase was used loosely, if sparingly in the handiwork of Brooklyn-based designer Jessica Hische: pro bono. But contrary to popular opinion, pro bono doesn't mean for free. Its literal Latin translation is "for good," shorthand for pro bono publico, "for the good of the public." (The accurate Latin phrase for "free" is actually gratis.) All that said, pro bono work usually involves professionals reducing or entirely waiving their fees, hence the confusion, but the focus remains on work for the public good.

Counting the departures from Gitmo
By Bill Adair
Published on Thursday, June 18th, 2009 at 6:28 p.m.
For weeks, Republicans have questioned the wisdom of closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. President Barack Obama plans to transfer the approximately 230 remaining detainees to other countries or to prisons in the United States.
Responding to the Republicans, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told reporters on June 16, 2009, that it's important to consider Obama's plans in context with the overall number of releases in the past seven years.
"Some 500 detainees were released from Guantanamo during the Bush administration," Hoyer said.
We wondered if he was correct.
Indeed, government documents indicate more than 500 detainees were released or transferred from Guantanamo while Bush was president. A White House executive order issued on the second day of Obama's presidency said, " The federal government has moved more than 500 such detainees from Guantánamo, either by returning them to their home country or by releasing or transferring them to a third country."
That's backed up by a fact sheet from the military task force that runs the detention camp, which says 520 detainees had been released or transferred by March 2009.
Our only quibble with Hoyer is his use of the word "released." That could be interpreted to mean that under Bush, 500-plus detainees left the center and were immediately freed. But the Pentagon says there is a difference between a release and a transfer to another country. The vast majority of detainees leave Gitmo under a transfer, which means they are transported to another country that places them under some type of restrictions. Some are incarcerated in those countries because of criminal charges, while others face monitoring or travel limitations.
But Hoyer only said "released," so we'll take him down a notch to Mostly True.

Though it may be old news at this point I just wanted to say a few words on Josh Hamilton Gate from last week. More specifically, I'd like to discuss the reaction of one, Jeff Passan, and the inflammatory consequences of a journalist allowing personal disappointment colour his portrayal of a story.
As many of you probably know by now Texas Rangers' outfielder and recovering addict, Josh Hamilton, fell off the wagon last Monday reportedly having drinks in a Dallas area bar. Writing for Yahoo Sports, Passan's article often takes on the tone of a let down fan rather than a journalist attempting to objectively cover a somewhat tragic story. Throughout the piece Passan's petulance takes the form of a bizarre impulse to place blame on an admittedly sick individual and nowhere is this more evident than in the article's introduction: "The worst part about Josh Hamilton's relapse is that he didn't care. The most famous addict in sports does not go to a bar in the town where he is best known without full knowledge that his exploits will becomes public in a matter of hours." What is, of course, troubling about Passan's opening is that, instead of viewing Hamilton's awareness of being caught--and almost certainly publicly humiliated--as a sign of the severity of the outfielder's addiction, he chooses to portray the relapse as a careless lapse in judgement.
Further confusing Passan's take on last week's events, the article quickly shifts, taking on a much more sympathetic tone. "Hamilton does care, of course" Passan explains in his fourth paragraph. Wait, hold on...what? Contradicting the accusatory tone of the article's introduction, Passan admits that Hamilton's relapse does not "represent weakness" but is rather "a symptom of addiction's vagaries." There are several points in the article where Passan makes similar concessions and during these moments of lucidity the writer seems to acknowledge the fact that addicts will not always be able to overcome the challenges that their illnesses present them with. These moments, however, do not overshadow the overall accusatory and downright petulant tone that characterizes the article.
If you were worried that Hamilton's relapse was a complicated situation possibly influenced by the pressure of being in the public eye; the loss of Hamilton's long time "accountability partner," Johnny Norran or his tragic involvement in the death of a spectator last season, don't worry, Passan assures us its not. "The particulars...don't matter as much as the act. With addicts they never do. Sobriety is black and white. Black won Monday." Though, the physical state of sobriety is obviously black and white, for an addict the act of maintaining sobriety is far more complicated. Never explaining the basis of his psychiatric expertise, Passan reduces a complicated psychological illness into an overly simplified black and white concept and in doing so he, not only, makes it easier to speak disparagingly about Hamilton's relapse he carelessly diminishes the challenges faced everyday by recovering addicts.
What Passan comes close to but ultimately fails to convey is that even when one is not dealing with the pressures of being both a public figure and inspiration to millions of recovering addicts, battling addiction is an ongoing process often marred by moments of weakness. Just because many look up to Hamilton as a role model does not mean we can expect him to be perfect. What we can hope for is that Hamilton continues to be open and honest about the challenges he faces as a recovering addict. We can hope that Hamilton's battle will continue to inspire fellow addicts to fight their illness even after they experience similar setbacks. We can hope that in witnessing how easy it is for an addict to fall off the wagon that those who have loved ones struggling with addiction continue to provide them with the support that they need. And finally, if/when Hamilton suffers another relapse we can hope that the journalists put in charge of covering the story have a little more patience--and perhaps, write a couple more drafts--before they further stigmatise addiction by publicly attacking people who are merely showing the symptoms of their illness.
As always, if this struck you as not terrible feel free to check out more at my blog: thejimbag.blogspot.com

Searching the Paper Currency & Banknotes Database
Keyword Searching
Search by Money Type
Search by Category of Currency
|This site provides tips on searching the 600 numismatic pieces contained in the Paper Currency & Banknotes database.
For Russian and Ukrainian currency in the database, text from both the obverse and reverse sides has been transliterated from the vernacular according to the Library of Congress transliteration tables for Cyrillic alphabets. For example, the old Russian orthography symbol 'ѣ' is transliterated into its romanized equivalent 'ie'.
Once a search is successfuly conducted, individual records can be viewed by selecting the Accession Number on the left side of the screen. By clicking on this number, users access the full record of descriptive information and two thumbnail images linking to a mid-size (600 x 340) image of the obverse and reverse sides of each item. Clicking on a mid-size image leads to a high-resolution (160K - 3.72MB) image of either the obverse or reverse sides. Use the browser's back arrow to return to the mid-size image and then the full descriptive record.
Searching can be conducted by entering keywords or strings of text as it appears within each record. This feature allows the user to conduct a search on a keyword and on grammatically correct derivations of the search word by selecting either the Contains or Starts With buttons. Keyword searching using either the Contains function or the Starts With function is not case sensitive.
The Contains function searches for keywords located in any position within the database fields. For example, a search for Gosudar, a truncated derivation of the word Gosudarstvo (State), retrieves 628 records that contain some form of derivation of Gosudar. In this example, these derivations include the words Gosudarstvennoe, Gosudarstvennyi, Gosudarstvennye, Gosudarstvennago and Gosudarstva. These derivations are retrieved from all of the database fields.
The Starts With function searches for words located at the beginning of a database field. For example, a search for Gosudar will retrieve 568 records that contain some form of derivation of Gosudar that appears at the beginning of any field. However, the same search produces 628 records if the Contains function is selected instead of the Starts With function as is shown in the previous example.

The Eastern Michigan Huron Eagles Process Embracers entered the Crisler Arena Center Building earlier tonight with the goal of dislodging the Wolverines from their lofty perch as kings of Washtenaw County.
The challengers from the east came to Ann Arbor after letting the sting of a 26-point lost at UIC percolate a bit; having beaten Purdue early this season, the Eagles showed they could come away with a victory against a major conference team, even if the Boilermakers are not exactly measuring up to the form of the recent past. That noise you hear is the desperate attempt to extract some sort of interest out of a game such as this.
Facetious snark aside, EMU jumped out to a 6-2 lead early after Trey Burke opened up the scoring with a steal and layup at the other end. Michigan gave up an offensive rebound, allowing EMU a second attempt at a three, which Jalen Ross buried.
Michigan had to face the 2-3 zone in this one, a potentially tricky changeup for the Wolverines. Michigan's first two possessions against the zone lead to an airballed Stauskas three from the corner and a missed Burke three. However, Michigan started to figure out that simply bombing away from outside was not the answer. Jordan Morgan made a nice move on the block, moving to his left and lofting a little hook over the reach of the 7-footer DaShonte Riley. Glenn Robinson III then found an open pocket in the middle of the zone on the next trip down, hitting a free throw line jumper to tie things up.
Burke used a high pick from Morgan and penetrated down the heart of the lane, making a nice finish off the glass while absorbing some contact to put Michigan up 8-6. The Wolverines kept the lead for the rest of the contest.
After hitting a pair of early threes, EMU was less than careful with the ball; they racked up 4 turnovers in about five minutes of play. For a team looking to shrink the game and put it in its pocket, they couldn't afford to do this sort of thing (and now I sound like EMU's mother, telling them to clean their room).
In any case, Michigan circumvented its ephemeral early struggle to crack the zone from the outside by initiating the "transition" game. Transition basketball is when teams get the rebound and try to get to the other end really fast, ostensibly that so the opponent cannot set its defense. You are allowed to do this, apparently, and Michigan was able to use this rule to its advantage.
Stauskas hit a wide open three from the left wing in transition at the 13:30 mark, which sort of opened the floodgates. From that point on, Michigan was able to make the key passes and get to the right spots to slice and dice the zone.
After going down 6-2 early, Michigan rattled off an 18-0 run. EMU did not score again until the 10:29 mark, also marking its first 2-point basket of the game. Turnovers, an inability to score from 2-point land and Michigan being Michigan doomed the Eagles fairly quickly. Despite the possessions per game rankings of each team leading you to believe that this would mirror the measured, deliberate pace of a Ken Burns documentary, the game was actually kind of up and down. As you can imagine, this was not a good thing for EMU.
Michigan missed out on some easy points on account of DaShonte Riley's swatting ability, but the Wolverines entered the half up 40-24 nonetheless.
Halftime Stats
Michigan PPP (points per possession):1.25
- Burke: 5-10, 11 pts, 4 assists
- Stauskas: 3-4 from 3, 9 pts
- Hardaway Jr.: 3-9, 7 pts, 4 assists, 2 steals
Eastern Michigan PPP: 0.71
- Jalen Ross: 4-5, 9 pts
- Glenn Bryant: 1-7, 4 pts
- Derek Thompson: 2-8, 5 pts
With Michigan only up 16, the Wolverines had some work to do in order to cover the lofty spread (U-M was -24.0 the last time I looked). Michigan would need to play with a fervor befitting a post-apocalyptic wasteland, an intensity suited to a world in which every rebound, every transition bucket, every t-shirt cannon session...could be your last. Get it, you see, because topical stuff.
Anyway, EMU was careless early in the second half as well, committing three turnovers in the first three minutes of the second frame, partially allowing Michigan to jump out to a 21-point lead. After a pair of Morgan buckets early, the second half was mostly a demonstration of the serious talent of this freshman class. With the score sitting at 44-24, McGary, Stauskas and Robinson III contributed the Wolverines' next 15 points, giving Michigan its largest lead of the game thus far.
The last ten minutes consisted of Michigan occasionally conceding an EMU bucket or two before storming back with a flurry of transition bucket with a cataclysmic fury that would make Cormac McCarthy cower in fear. "The Road" leads through the Crisler Center, Cormac. It always* has.
As I mentioned earlier, with this win comes the honor of unofficial dominion over all of Washtenaw County, as well as a replica Big Boy trophy to occupy a most prominent spot in Michigan's trophy case. Michigan has completed two legs in the Nonconference Michigan Domination Tour; the West and the East have tried and failed, and only a meeting with the team from the mountain that is pleasant remains on the 2012 docket.
*Always, i.e. this year.

Cuts to Park Canada's budget have triggered a plan to move artifacts unearthed in Atlantic Canada's national parks from a new facility in Nova Scotia to Ottawa, Ontario. "For our historians and our researchers, it should be here. I can see where we're going to move this to Ottawa and then when we need to make an exposition or whatever we have to bring this back from Ottawa," said Charles Gaudet, director of La Fédération acadienne de la Nouvelle-Écosse.

Ohio State confirms calendar for winter and summer '08
Two quarters are shortened to avoid conflicts with holidays
The Ohio State University will begin spring break a week earlier than usual next year, and will shorten summer quarter by a week, in order to solve some unique calendar challenges for 2008.
The university calendar, which had tentatively called for traditional 10-week academic quarters, has been approved with a slightly abbreviated winter quarter and a nine-week summer quarter.
Some local school districts base their spring breaks on the Ohio State calendar, and so the change may affect those calendars.
Winter quarter 2008 will begin on Thursday, Jan. 3 and end on Friday, March 7. Commencement will be held on Sunday, March 16. Spring break will be March 13-23, and spring quarter classes begin March 24.
Summer quarter will begin June 16 and end on August 21, with commencement on August 24.
If regular calendar guidelines were followed, winter quarter commencement would have fallen on Easter Sunday, and summer quarter would have been only eight weeks long with commencement on Labor Day weekend.
Ohio State's academic calendar is online at www.ureg.ohio-state.edu/ourweb/more/Content/bigcal.html

Massena celebrates Alcoa restart
Massena, NY, Mar 21, 2011 — The leader of one of the world's largest aluminum producers came to Massena Friday with good news. 115 workers are back on the job after a year-and-a-half shutdown of Alcoa East's three pot lines. Senator Chuck Schumer joined Alcoa CEO Klaus Kleinfeld for a hero's welcome. As David Sommerstein reports, the visit brought hope about Alcoa's long-term future in the North Country.

As the saying goes, "Fast cars go fast." And Brad Keselowski apparently has a very fast car for Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Keselowski recited that phrase after winning the pole for the Coke 600 on Thursday night, which marked the second pole of his Sprint Cup Series career.
The Penske Racing driver, whose team has struggled to find speed at points this season, will lead the field to the green flag to start NASCAR's longest race. It was the second pole of Keselowski's career.
"Fast cars go fast, and this team is really making a lot of progress," Keselowski said. "Every week, we just keep ticking away. A little bit here, a little bit there."
AJ Allmendinger will join Keselowski on the front row, followed by All-Star Race winner Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin and Jeff Burton.
Jimmie Johnson, 2009 Coke 600 winner David Reutimann, David Ragan, first-time starter Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Clint Bowyer rounded out the top 10.
The night qualifying session had a bit of excitement. While go-or-go-home driver Andy Lally was attempting to make the race, he went into a long, smoky drift. Amazingly, he kept it off the wall – but his lap wasn't good enough to qualify for the race.
Four other cars shared Lally's fate. Drivers who failed to qualify included Lally, T.J. Bell, Scott Wimmer, Tony Raines and Scott Riggs.
Here is the starting lineup for Sunday's Coca-Cola 600:
- Brad Keselowski
- AJ Allmendinger
- Carl Edwards
- Denny Hamlin
- Jeff Burton
- Jimmie Johnson
- David Reutimann
- David Ragan

The Kincade Chronicles: Artist tells fictional family's history in Athenaeum exhibit
From Athenaeum reports
In his second exhibition at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, longtime San Diego artist Jim Machacek will turn the gallery into a walk-in novel. Visitors will step into the world of the Kincades, a fictional family that has lived in the Tidewater region of Virginia for three centuries. In a series of etchings, collages, artist's books, installations, and created historical ephemera, Machacek marshaled all his creative talent to bring the Kincades to life.
Machacek's "The Kincade Chronicles" will be featured in the Joseph Clayes III Gallery, Sept. 21- Nov. 2. The opening reception is set for 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20 and there will be a walk- through with the artist, 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 10.
A highlight of the exhibition will be "The Kincade Chronicles … A Visual Novel," an editioned letterpress and digital artist book (a kind of exhibition in a box), which contains all of the stories and selected artworks from the show.
Each gallery wall will become a chapter in the novel where visitors will "read" the art, as well as stories from Revolutionary War days to modern times, a blending of fact and fiction to illuminate and entertain. Actual historical events and cultural issues have been infused into the stories in order to heighten the Kincade reality. Guests can pick up a souvenir bookmark and follow a timeline around the gallery visiting each generation.
Machacek has been creating artworks in printmaking, artist's books, collage, drawing and mixed media for more than three decades. He holds a M.F.A. from C.W. Post/Long Island University, a B.F.A. from Boston Museum School of Fine Arts, and a B.A. in journalism from Creighton University. He teaches in the Art Department at San Diego Mesa College, where he co-founded Mesa Arts Press to promote the art of letterpress printing in the production of artist's books and prints.
His artwork has been included in 100 exhibitions in museums and galleries nationwide and in international exhibitions in Japan, Mexico, Canada and Hungary. His artist's books are in special collec- tions at the Library of Congress, the Tate Museum Research Centre in London, the New York City Public Library, and 40 university libraries and 15 private collections in the United States.

Get Real: Rolling in Ravilois

Growing up we quite often had raviolis straight from the refrigerated section of the grocery store. They were quick and easy and heartier than just your basic spaghetti. As I grew older and my journey for whole and real foods evolved , that "fresh" grocery pasta was not what I wanted for myself or my family. Taking the time to make your own pastas is worth it and not to mention that much more delicious.
Making Traditional Raviolis
Making traditional raviolis is not as hard as it seems. You do not need a pasta maker or attachment to make good raviolis. First, whip up a basic pasta dough such as the one Kristen mentioned in last week's challenge. Then roll it out into two separate halves.
Then make a filling of your choice! The filling is the best part to be creative with it can be cheesy, meaty, sweet or savory! In fact we have a few recipes here on the site that will work for ravioli fillings: Spinach Ricotta Stuffed Shells and Chicken Pesto Stuffed Shells. Here are a few sites that have a variety of easy fillings you can choose from: Mangia Bene Pasta, Better Homes and Gardens or get CREATIVE and make your own! I've been eliminating milk from my diet for my little one so for me it was fun to see what I could come up with. I went to the freezer and pulled out some roasted and pureed butternut squash I had stockpiled from my CSA this fall. I then sauteed some spinach, garlic, scallions, and onions with olive oil. Into the food processor it all went. I added some homemade bread crumbs to give it a thicker consistency.
Next I cut my portions of dough into rectangles (because I'm type A) and drew lines on them for how large I wanted my raviolis to be. I like my raviolis larger so I feel fancy like the nice italian restaurants my husband and I love to go to. In the middle of each square I put a Tablespoon or so of filling.
Then I create an egg wash (one egg with two tablespoons water) and brush the areas around the filling to help create the seal on the ravioli. Then carefully I place the second layer of dough on top and gently press down around the filling spots to create my first seal. Next I cut the raviolis into individual pieces and with a fork I press down on the edges to make the final seal.
Here's the fun part and why you're here on a freezer cooking site! You can either cook the raviolis immediately or place them on a sheet of wax paper and then into a freezer safe bag or container and freeze until you are ready to use them!
Simply bring a pot of water to a rolling boil, add a pinch of salt to the water and gently place 2-3 raviolis at a time into the pot. Cook until they are all floating at the top, approximately 5-7 minutes. Serve with your favorite marinara, pesto or alfredo sauce. Or just drizzle with some olive oil and herbs like I did!
Making Non Traditional Raviolis
Now as you're reading this post some of you may be saying to yourself, "I didn't get to the challenge last week and I probably won't get to it this week. Is there an even EASIER way to make homemade raviolis?" My answer YES! Have you ever seen those wonton wrappers in your produce section and wondered what else they could be used for? Beyond appetizers, eggrolls, and of course wontons? Raviolis! They are light, airy and not to mention already rolled out and the perfect shape for your homemade raviolis.
Simply make your filling as you choose. Then take out one wonton wrapper and put the filling in the center. Instead of an egg wash use 1 tablespoon cornstarch to 2 tablespoons water as your "glue". Brush the edges with the cornstarch mixture, and press another wrapper on top. There you go! Another easy ravioli! Then just as above, bring a pot of water to a rolling boil, add a pinch of salt to the water and gently place 2-3 raviolis at a time into the pot. Cook until they are all floating at the top, approximately 5-7 minutes.
March Week Two Action Item:

I can't wait to make raviolis! It looks so easy…and yummy!
these sound (and look)yummy, and I am sorry if this sounds stupid, but how the heck are you supposed to make this for a family if you cook them 2-3 at a time? I have to cook for 6 people. I would be cooking ravioli for an hour and how do you keep them warm for everyone to eat at the same time?
toasted ravioli has long been my favorite food. how would I bread these- use the egg wash again or just toss in bread crumbs? I'm willing to experiment but thought I'd check in case it had already been tried =D thanks for all you do!

SALISBURY — With still-fresh memories of the challenges of last winter — including the need to evacuate North End Boulevard residents after coastal flooding threatened their homes, — the Salisbury Police Department has a new vehicle that it will make a significant impact should beach residents need to be rescued again.
The vehicle, an Army surplus Humvee has been part of the department's fleet of vehicles since Memorial Day, but according to police, the main idea behind picking it up was to have it on hand for winter. Last year, coastal flooding forced the town to evacuate dozens of residents, some of them who hitched a ride on a Department of Public Works backhoe.
"Places were so flooded out we couldn't reach them," Salisbury police Officer James Leavitt said.
Salisbury police Chief Thomas Fowler said the Humvee was U.S Army surplus, given to the town free of charge. Local and area businesses, Coastal Connections and Sal's Garage of Elm Street, and Adamson Industries of Haverhill, performed necessary modifications and give the vehicle a new paint job, offering their services free of charge or at a discount.
Spearheading the charge for a new Humvee were officers Michael Tullercash and Leavitt, who both served in the military and were very aware of what a Humvee could mean for the coastal community. Tullercash, according to Leavitt, identified an available Humvee and began inquiring about how to bring it to Salisbury.
Leavitt, who served in the Air Force, said he spent time behind the wheel of a Humvee while conducting training exercises at Fort Devens. There, he drove through the messiest swamps and found that his Humvee wouldn't get bogged down in the muck.
"I drove right through it like it was nothing," Leavitt said.
Since the department acquired the Humvee over the summer, it has been put to good use. The Humvee was rolled out in time for Memorial Day and featured at the Sand and Sea Festival in July. Around the same time, the Humvee was used to patrol the beach as police looked to curtail bonfires which are illegal.

The rug is not thick -- but I knew that when I ordered it. I love the color scheme and it turned out exactly as pictured. We put this in the foyer and will not mind if it gets snow, etc. on it. It is dark enough that dirt will not show yet sturdy enough to handle the elements. If you are looking for a thick, plush rug -- this is not the rug you would choose. But it is exactly what I was looking for and the price cannot be beaten.
I purchased two of these rugs for a large guest home - They worked out beautifully. The colors are eye pleasing and go really good with the art work I have - (Abstract) For the price I don't think you are going to find anything comparable any where else. Overstock.com continues to offer the best deals online.
Love my rugs. They are perfect and I already sent a friend to Overstock for her rugs.
this is a very inexpensive rug, but I love it! it is perfect for what I wanted. the colors are exact to what you see. rug is thin and is what I wanted as I have a chair rolling over it. can't be happier with it.
I really made a mistake. Every time I look at this rug I say to myself, "This is the ugliest rug I've ever seen." It is soft so I placed it under my desk to rub my feet on. If I could send it back (how to pack it?) I would send it back. I will probably donate it to the Salvation Army next week.
I bought 2 other rugs... and then bought a 3rd and it matched in Great! Beautiful colors and true to picture. Woud buy again.
We are very pleased with the area rug. Looks great over bamboo floors.
