No sense of decency in GOP attack on Harry Belafonte
ACLU of Massachusetts Development Director Steve Hurley wrote this guest blog.
"Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"
Those words--originally directed to U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy by Massachusetts resident Joseph Welch, lead counsel for the U.S. Army during the "McCarthy hearings" in 1954--came to mind earlier this week upon hearing of Nate Little's verbal attack on Harry Belafonte.
Little is the Executive Director of the Massachusetts Republican Party, who contacted the press this week to call Belafonte's political views "extreme," "repugnant," and--here comes that last refuge of any scoundrel--"anti-American." State GOP Chairman Bob Maginn kept up the attack today.
What prompted this attack? It turns out that Harry Belafonte is hosting a fundraising event in New York for Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, whom Mr. Little would like to defeat. And like Joseph McCarthy in his quest to "defeat" communism, it appears that Nate Little will stoop to the character assassination of anyone who gets in the way of his goal--or, anyone who offers the opportunity for a little more publicity in his quest to achieve it.
To be sure, Harry Belafonte has said some controversial things--how could one agitate for social change and equal justice for more than half a century without doing so? But just as surely, Harry Belafonte has demonstrated through his lifetime of activism that he cares deeply for our country and its people, and is a patriot of the highest order.
Perhaps Mr. Little is unaware of Harry Belafonte's record of courage and leadership in the struggle for equality in our country? Maybe he doesn't know that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., called Belafonte's popularity and commitment "a key ingredient to the global struggle for freedom and a powerful tactical weapon in the civil rights movement here in America." Quite possibly he's unaware that Belafonte served our country in the U.S. Navy and as an advisor to the Peace Corps, or that he became only the second American to be appointed as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. He may not know that Belafonte's activism has reached far past our borders, to include setting in motion the events that led to the "We Are the World" benefit for African famine relief, and serving as a leader of the campaign to end apartheid in South Africa and to free his friend, Nelson Mandela.
Or, maybe Mr. Little does know that history--but considers the issues for which Harry Belafonte has spent his life fighting "quaint" and "obsolete," to use the terms popularized by former Bush Administration Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in reference to the Geneva Conventions.
Of course, thanks to the First Amendment Mr. Little has every right to express his opinion about Mr. Belafonte, especially since Mr. Belafonte is a very public figure. Ironically, Mr. Little owes some of his freedom to speak his mind, and to have newspapers cover his thoughts, to… Harry Belafonte.
On March 29, 1960, in response to the arrest of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Montgomery, Alabama, the "Committee to Defend Martin Luther King and the Struggle for Freedom in the South" ran a full-page advertisement in the New York Times entitled "Heed Their Rising Voices."
Written by Belafonte and Bayard Rustin, the ad argued that racist southern officials had used lawless tactics against Dr. King and others, applauding those who "engaged in widespread non-violent demonstrations in positive affirmation of the right to live in human dignity as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights," and appealed for funds for Dr. King's legal defense and other civil rights initiatives.
The ad mentioned no names, but Alabama officials sued for libel, claiming they could be identified as participants in what the ad described as an "unprecedented wave of terror" against civil rights activists. Their aim was to stop media coverage and thus undermine the movement's strategy of putting racism on display for the entire world to witness.
The strategy worked, at first. A local jury imposed a $500,000 judgment against the paper, and similar suits brought that amount to $3 million--enough to put the Times out of business and to scare off any other newspapers that dared to cover the civil rights movement.
On appeal--with the ACLU as amicus curiae--Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., joined by six members of the Supreme Court, reversed that decision in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, a landmark First Amendment ruling that remains a hallmark of free speech jurisprudence in America:
"[W]e consider this case against the background of a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open," wrote Justice Brennan, "and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials…."
There is no question that the Sullivan decision strengthened freedom of speech and of the press in our country, and that we are a freer nation because of it. One immediate result of the decision was to free the press to report on the civil rights movement. Media coverage of the brutalities inflicted upon civil rights supporters made clear the violence of racism itself. As author and Pulitzer-prize winning New York Times columnist Anthony Lewis later wrote, "There, on television, were grown men and women screaming obscenities at little black children trying to go to desegregated schools," and public outrage at these images forced Congress to act, leading to the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act.
In the years that followed, the Sullivan case emboldened the American press to challenge official government "truths," even when that meant criticizing government officials, including the questioning of the U.S. war in Vietnam and the abuses of power arising from the Watergate cover-up. More recently, when traditional news outlets too often have failed to question government abuses of power, new forms of social media and public protest have emerged to give voice to calls for equal rights, as evidenced in the Arab Spring movement in the Middle East and the Occupy movement in the U.S. and worldwide.
Today, freedom of speech and equal rights are key pillars of our democracy, thanks to those who have fought to defend civil liberties and extend civil rights--including a leader and patriot named Harry Belafonte. Mr. Little would do well to reflect a bit more on American history, and ask himself whether he'd really prefer an America more influenced by Sen. Joseph McCarthy's vision, than by Harry Belafonte's.
Note: On May 22, 2012, the ACLU of Massachusetts will honor Harry Belafonte with the Roger Baldwin Award at its annual Bill of Rights Dinner. More information is available at www.aclum.org/dinner.

Hi all.
I try to take a photo like what Camera function does in MWS. According to some advises in the other threads, "camera.take_photo()" should work fine with mod_python. After executing the following codes:
Nothing happened! No camera.jpg in the file system. No error message.Code:import camera image=camera.take_photo() filename=u'c:\\data\\camera.jpg' image.save(filename)
I wander that the mod_python in MWS does not support this function? If so, how the camera function in MWS does the job?
Please help, thanks a lot.

I hope everyone had a good New Year's, I know I did.
Pride FC 13 Collision Course was the first Pride event of 2001 and took place on March 25 in the Saitama Super Arena. Here is my write up.
Right off the bat, we get Stephen Quadros over-enthusiastically throwing some punches into the camera with Bas Rutten following suit, only with less vim and vigor than The Fight Professor.
Pride 13 marked the beginning of a new rule set to be used in the fights. There would now be three rounds, the first is ten minutes, the second and third are now five minutes long. Also, knees to the head while the receiving fighter is face-down are now allowed.
The first match of the night ended very quickly when Vitor Belfort submitted Bobby Southworth with a rear naked choke.
In the next fight, Guy Mezger was scheduled to fight Enson Inoue. After Pride 12 however, Enson retired, so his brother Egan would take his place against Mezger. In the prefight interview, Egan seemed like a really cool guy. When asked who his dream fight would be, he jokingly responded, "Pee Wee Herman". After being introduced to such an affable person, I was pretty upset when Mezger knocked him out in the first round. Oh well.
Heath Herring versus Denis Sobolev was the next match. Bas interviewed Herring before the fight and you could tell he was excited to talk to Heath since they both had the same trainer in Holland. Herring quickly got Sobolev, the Russian Army MMA Champion at the time, into side control and finished the fight with a key lock, but not before Quadros cracked an Ivan Drago joke. While I'm not a huge Heath Herring fan now, he was an absolute beast in these early Pride fights.
The next fight was Dan Henderson against Renzo Gracie. Before the fight, Gracie was telling a story backstage about how he once choked his daughter's boyfriend. Renzo talks about it in the seventh paragraph of this interview from HDNet.
It was a very funny story, probably an exaggeration, but still very funny. Randy Couture was in Henderson's corner for this fight. As predicted, Gracie shot in frequently, but Hendo had a great sprawl. Gracie got knocked out so fast, no one knew what happened. Quadros and Bas thought he knocked himself out against the mat under Dan's sprawl, but it was Hendo's infamous right hand that actually did the damage.
When discussing his upcoming fight with Mark Coleman, Allan Goes discussed how he is a middleweight and Coleman is a heavyweight, but that Goes was not intimidated. I was immediately skeptical. Belfort was in Goes' corner and Gary Goodridge and Jeremy Horn were in Coleman's. Coleman looked huge for this fight. Coleman gets Goes down on the ground fast and while Goes was face-down, begins delivering brutal knees to the head, that were now legal under the new Pride rules. Goes was knocked out instantly. This was where the insanity began, though. As Coleman stands up and raises his arms, he turns his back to Goes who is just coming to. Goes doesn't know what happened and attacks Coleman. Coleman looks absolutely pissed and it took a lot of guys to separate the two. Once they both realized what happened, they hugged it out.
Masaaki Satake versus Tadao Yasuda was next and this fight pretty much sucked, in my opinion. This was the professional wrestler Yasuda's MMA debut. The three rounds of this fight consisted of Yasuda charging into Satake, who would just get pushed into the corner. Yasuda would desperately try for a take-down and Satake would simply stand in the corner and resist. Yasuda won the split decision.
Next was the much anticipated match between Tracy Telligman versus Igor Volchanchyn. Volchanchyn was scheduled to fight Ken Shamrock but Shamrock was injured, so fellow Lion's Den fighter, Telligman, took Shamrock's place against the Ukrainian. Mezger and Shamrock were in Telligman's corner. Much to my surprise, UFC Middleweight Tito Ortiz appeared and presented bouquets to both fighters. Ortiz looked really young and skinny to me. Telligman won the decision. His stand-up was too much for Volchanchyn that night and Igor found himself on his back, fighting to survive.
The last fight of this Pride was one that I have heard a lot about but had never seen. It was Kazushi Sakuraba versus Wanderlei Silva. Again, Tito gave both fighters some flowers and even gave Sakuraba a peck on the check, to Sakuraba's delight. This light-heartedness ended quickly, as this was an intensely violent fight. Silva won most of the wild exchanges but Sakuraba nailed Silva with a good right. Wanderlei knocked Sakuraba down with some brutal punches and ended the fight with some scary knees and soccer kicks. This was the brutality that made Silva famous. Watch this fight if you get a chance. You can't help but feel sorry for Sakuraba, who was left a bloody mess. This video shows the whole fight, the music is a little obnoxious though.
I'll try to start doing these write-ups with my former frequency again. Oh.. and what's the deal with Spike's Best of Pride Series?!?! I start doing these write-ups and now Spike is just going to show them on television. So much for my niche on BloodyElbow...

The conversion of a former water theme park into a protected ecosystem is wrapping up.
Along the edge of Texas State University a constant flow of water pours down the San Marcos River
Even on a chilly morning, students like Angie White are drawn here as if pulled in by the swift moving current.
"Oh it's really quite and relaxing and there is not a whole lot of noise and a lot of people don't come out here and gives me time to relax, study and focus," White said.
The river begins less than a block away from the main campus. Crystal clear water rolls out of what is known as Spring Lake and just below the surface is a unique laboratory.
"We like to think of it as possibly the largest classroom we have on campus here," Dr. Michael Abbott, Associate Director of the Meadow's Center for Water and the Environment said.
Dr. Abbott is part of the team rebuilding this urban wetland. The site was once the domain of mermaids. The performers were a big attraction when lake was a popular water theme park. Texas State University acquired the site and has spent $2.5 million converting the old hotel into a research center and the underwater theater into a more natural setting.
"The theme park was certainly an important aspect to the community and the state of Texas and so having those remaining structures taken away, there is a bit of sadness there," Dr. Abbott said.
Glass bottom boat tours still take place on the lake where at least eight different endanger species can be spotted but seed from a ground stabilization project that's still trying to grow will keep the wetlands boardwalk closed until at least spring.
Accounts from early settlers tell us that the springs that fed this lake were so powerful fountains of water shot into the air. The reason why that no longer happens is why the research being done here is so important.
Dive crews routinely have to do underwater gardening to keep the lake bottom clear. Sand swirls mark the spots where spring water from the Edward's Aquifer escapes through a fault line. Monitoring this eco-system especially during times of drought can help researchers learn how to better manage water resources.
"And until you see it see it up close and become a part of it you don't always have the appreciation you need of the importance of this resources and how important it is to maintain," said Dr. Abbott.
A ripple effect that goes far beyond this small lake and the river it feeds.

Thyroid Cancer-Symptoms-Risk Factors-Diagnosis-Treatment-Prevention
Symptoms & Risk Factors
Symtoms of thyroid cancer are non- specific and having a risk factor does not mean you will suffer from thyroid Cancer.
Thyroid cancers need not produce symptoms in the early stages. However, with an advancing growth the following symptoms may arise:
A lump in the front of the neck
Changes in voice, hoarseness
Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
Difficulty in breathing or swallowing
Pain in the neck
Since these symptoms are not specific to thyroid cancers one has to consult a doctor, if they fail to find relief from any of thee symptoms after 2 to 3 weeks
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases the chance of acquiring a disease. I stress on this definition because, the disease may occur even in the absence of any of the explained risk factors. Also, do understand that people with a risk factor need not necessarily develop a cancer.
Over exposure to radiations has been proven to multiply the risk to catch a thyroid cancer. Treatment with x-rays is the most common source. There is little reason to panic. Routine x-ray investigations use low doses of radiation. Repeated exposures are to be dealt with caution since these are harmful.
Radioactive fallouts, though rare are important sources of carcinogenic doses of radiation. Remember the episodes in Hiroshima, the nuclear power plant accident at Chernobyl.
The papillary and follicular cancers are the types mostly associated with radiation exposure.
If anyone else in the family had/has thyroid cancer
Medullary thyroid cancer runs in families. It is associated with a change in a gene called RET. This change gets transferred from parent to child. This cancer may occur alone (called the Familial Medullary Cancer of thyroid) or in the company of other cancers (The group of cancers is called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia, abbreviated as the MEN syndrome).
Other diseases that run in family
A family history of goitre (meaning swollen thyroid gland) with multiple thyroid nodules may predispose individuals to papillary thyroid cancer. People with a family history of growths in the colon or rectum (Familial polyposis) are also at risk of the same.
Personal History
People with a goitre or benign thyroid nodule are at high risks
Ages above 45 are at increases risks of acquiring thyroid cancers.
As I had mentioned earlier females are thrice more predisposed to the risk of developing thyroid cancers. In women factors like a late child birth (above an age of 30) and use of oral contraceptive pills may also have an association with cancers of thyroid gland.
Iodine as a risk factor is still under study. Evidences available are confusing. Too little iodine in diet may increase the risk of follicular cancer while too much of iodine breeds the risk of papillary cancer.
Many of those who migrated from iodine poor regions to iodine rich regions have shown decreased trends of acquiring follicular cancer. Too much iodine in diet has been related to a higher incidence of papillary cancer in South India.
Findings from Iceland and Norway suggest an association with consumption of excess shellfish and other seafood.

Kuster's partisanship: Just own it, Annie
"From my first days in office, I have consistently called on both parties to work together..." she said in a statement on Wednesday. No doubt, she has done that. In her election night victory speech last November, she said, "we're ready to put politics aside and do what's right for the middle class and small businesses" and that voters "are looking for leaders who can bring people together to get things done."
When a politician proclaims that she is one to "put politics aside," you can bet that politics is likely to follow.
Last week, Kuster voted against Rep. Paul Ryan's proposed budget. This was no surprise. Ryan was Mitt Romney's vice presidential nominee. Though his proposal did balance the budget, it did not raise taxes to get there. Instead it took such necessary steps as restructuring entitlement programs to make them, and the U.S. government, solvent.
Kuster, naturally, said Ryan's budget "would end Medicare as we know it, undermine critical investments in the middle class, and threaten our economic recovery." That's just the kind of boilerplate partisan rhetoric she lobbed at Charlie Bass during last year's campaign.
During the campaign, Kuster accused Bass of being a partisan Republican rather than the moderate he said he was. According to Opencongress.org, Bass voted with Republicans 83 percent of the time. The site shows that Kuster has voted with Democrats 86 percent of the time. Interesting!
So far, Kuster is demonstrably, if slightly, more partisan than Charlie Bass was. If that's what the voters of the 2nd District want, fine. But judging by how often and how loudly Kuster claims to "put politics aside," it is clear that she knows they don't want that at all.

If an appliance breaks down, most of us these days do a Google search for a local repair company and often call the first listing that pops up. But that way of handling the problem can go horribly wrong.
The Better Business Bureau has just issued an alert about an appliance repair service that does not appear to be local and may not repair your appliances at all. The BBB says it has a number of complaints about this company failing to do the job, as one Ohio woman discovered.
Icemaker Fails, Then Repairman Fails Holly's fridge is on the fritz. Holly, who asked that we not use her last name, claims she was taken for $200 by a repair company that looked local, and had a prominent paid listing that popped up first in a Google search. "I went online for Kitchen Aid, for products and repairs, and I was able to see that I was able to find a service man in our area," Holly said. The Nation's Appliance Service website had lots of appliance logos, and even a Better Business Bureau seal, so she called for service. "I was like, great, we have a local Kitchen Aid rep that can help take care of me," she thought. Holly says a man came out in an old truck, looked at her fridge, and asked for $200 for an icemaker part.
"He said that I would need to order a part, and would need to pay for a part up front, and he'd be here the next day," Holly said. But the next day turned into the next day, and the repairman never returned. Holly says the personal phone number he gave her did not work. But his bank account apparently did.
"I gave him $200. The check's already cleared, and they only take cash or check, so I'm out the money," she said.
Web forums are filled with similar complaints about the company from Florida to Texas. We called the phone number on the ad, as well as Nation's Appliance Services Florida headquarters, but got an answering service both times. No one called us back. The Better Business Bureau has issued a warning about the firm, and has slapped a "F" rating on what it believes to be its national headquarters in Fort Lauderdale after 23 recent complaints.
How To Protect Yourself The Better Business Bureau warns you to:
-Always check out a company for a local street address. -Check their BBB rating before allowing them into your home. -Ideally, find someone who your neighbors have used, which is what Holly says she will do next time. That way you can feel comfortable with your repair company, and you don't waste your money.

Officially confirming what we already know, Universal Pictures issued a press release today annoucing that The Best Man 2 is definitely happening, with a November 15, 2013 release date planned; so it should e going into production shortly, if it hasn't already.
And while there's still no word on what exactly the plot for this sequel will be, in the Universal press release, it's stated that the entire starring cast of the first film is returning for the sequel, and hints at what the story will be.
After nearly 15 years apart, Taye Diggs (television's Private Practice), Nia Long (Big Momma's House), Morris Chestnut (Kick-Ass 2), Harold Perrineau (Zero Dark Thirty), Terrence Howard (Hustle & Flow), Sanaa Lathan (Contagion), Monica Calhoun (Love & Basketball), Melissa De Sousa (Miss Congeniality) and Regina Hall (Scary Movie franchise) reprise their career-launching roles in the next chapter to the film that ushered in a new era of comedy. When the college friends finally reunite over the Christmas holidays, they will discover just how easy it is for long-forgotten rivalries and romances to be ignited.
Malcolm D. Lee returns to write and direct this sequel to his directorial debut. Sean Daniel (The Mummy franchise) will produce alongside Lee for The Sean Daniel Company.
I can't say that I'm all-that interested in The Best Man 2 (I'll always prefer fresh stories, instead of recycling, revisiting or extending old ones). However, I'm definitely curious to find out what story (or stories) Lee will tell the second time around.
When we find out, so will you.
But it's officially dated for a November 15, 2013 release, so it's only a matter of time before further news on any additional or new casting and plot are revealed.
Meanwhile, up next for director Lee is Scary Movie 5 for Dimension Films.

Yes!!!!!!!! This sequel is so long overdue, but thank God that it's finally happening. The Best Man is one of my favorite movies and one of the best movies of the 90s. I'm gladd that the old cast is reprising their roles from the original
dee | January 30, 2013 1:59 PM
I am not one for sequels...however, I have high hopes this will be a success. TBM is one of my faves!!
starry118 | January 29, 2013 11:44 AM
"The Best Man" is one of my faves...definitely looking forward to this.
lilkunta | January 25, 2013 9:40 PM
TBM was great. I really hope this sequel wont be a fvck up.
I aldo didnt know this movie was 'the career launcing film'.
All these actresses were known in the afr am community, so did this film make them known to anglos?
...and if Melissa De Sousa is back then where is Terrance Dashon Howard?
Nikki J | January 25, 2013 2:08 PM
I really enjoyed the first one. Hoping the sequel is good.
Monique a Williams | January 25, 2013 7:50 AM
Interested to see how they gel after many have seen great success. Perhaps the behind the scenes would be an even better film...
Adam Scott Thompson | January 24, 2013 9:09 PM
Not a sequel lover, but the first film came along at the right time in my life. Maybe the sequel will too.

Not much faith in M. Lee at this point. Given his track record, though, I suppose this was inevitable. At least he'll continue to be able to pay his kids private school fees.
Sasha | January 24, 2013 4:33 PM
I really hate when they mess with an enjoyable film and turn out an awful sequel but I quite enjoyed the first movie so I have high hopes for this one.
greg. | January 24, 2013 4:09 PM
Hollywood's got to shoehorn Kevin Hart into this one somehow. Think Like The Best Man, maybe? Get on it, guys.
getthesenets | January 24, 2013 3:52 PM
reprising their "career launching roles"?
Mocha | January 24, 2013 3:33 PM
I'm looking forward to seeing the movie.

If the first series of a season is indicative of what's to come, the eyes and ears of the Bruin faithful should stay focused on softball.
The Bruins opened their season 4-0 with the Stacy Winsberg Memorial Tournament, doing so with not just exceptional offense, defense or pitching, but rather all three.
UCLA beat Kentucky 7-1 on Thursday, 12-0 on Friday and 6-2 on Saturday. Earlier on Saturday, it beat Pacific 10-2.
Several of the Bruins' high-scoring wins this past weekend were dependent on the long ball, including three homers on Friday over the Wildcats.
Even when they couldn't get the ball out of the park, they managed to put together series of hits to push players along the base path.
In Saturday's final game, the Bruins pulled ahead 3-0 in the first only to have the Wildcats respond with two consecutive homers in the second. There was a lull in scoring until the fifth, when UCLA put together a succession of hits that inflated the score to 6-2.
"Long balls are bonus. We focus on going 60 feet at a time, not about the home run," said coach Kelly Inouye-Perez.
Pitching from freshman Ally Carda, sophomore Jessica Hall and junior Destiny Rodino dominated. The Bruins' opponents had 10 hits over four games "" UCLA produced 47.
Even when pitchers struggled, defense came through.
UCLA entered Saturday afternoon with a 0.00 ERA. There had been few issues for the staff throughout the tournament, which changed at the start of the tournament's closing game.
Carda found herself in the first pickle of her college career in the first. She opened the game with two walks, threw around 40 pitches and allowed a stolen base "" yet still managed to exit the inning with a blank scoreboard.
"Good pitching will always stop good hitting," Inouye-Perez said. "That was a great opportunity for our pitcher to figure out how to get out of that situation, and the defense was right behind her."
The slimmer score in the final game as compared to the previous three didn't faze UCLA. After facing each other twice, the teams knew one another.
"They know our strengths and weaknesses and they play to them. They know us, it's going to be closer and that's what made it more fun," said senior catcher Dani Yudin.
Carda comes into college as one of the most prized recruits in the country. She toggles between first and the mound with ease, and when she's pitching, she relies on Yudin to help her from behind the plate.
"She's helped me tremendously, from signs to mental game," Carda said. "It's awesome to have her behind the plate."
The No. 13 Bruins went into the season with plenty of hype, and they seem to have lived up to it with this past weekend's strong, undefeated showing.
"This team can clearly hit and our pitching did a great job, and I was so proud of our defense," Inouye-Perez said. "I'm proud overall, they did a lot of little things that represent big things."

3.84/5 rDev +1.9%
Rich, smoky aroma has an overtone of semi-sweet chocolate and subtle roast malt and licorice notes. It pours a deep, warm sable with a thick, fluffy and rather persistent tan head. Flavor, though, lacks the depth that the aroma promised - still smoky like a good porter with roast malt and coffee notes and hints of licorice and chocolate, just not as strong as the bouquet. Texture has OK body but plenty of fizz. Overall, a good porter, if not an outstanding one. Definitely worth a try, especially if you like dark beers.

Pours a deep brwon with a little reddish hue with a huge fluffy light brown head to big of a head I think it took for ever to finally settle.Nice aromas going on some cocoa and earth dominate with molasses showing thru as well,nice porter flavors here big molasses and cocoa flavors hints of brown sugar finishing quite dry and earthy with soft minty hop notes that linger.Somehwat prickly overcarbonates on the mouth I think this beer may have been sitting on the shelf for awhile.Good flavors I think age was starting to work on this one but still a fine porter.

This beer was a very dark brown color with a small tan head. The head faded quickly but left a little lacing. It had an aroma of coffee and chocolate. The coffee smelled a little on the burned side. Tasted mostly of chocolate. Some coffee too, but I was expecting more after the stronger coffee aroma. It was a little on the thinner side, but still quite nice.

Great big bottle (a very good thing in this case) poured into a pint glass. The yeasts on Nantucket are very happy with this beer & yield a pillowy thick head that lasts and lasts & a high degree of carbonation. Can't see a thing through this deep brown brew, so the only way to the bottom is to quaff.
An aroma of roasted malts and toastiness leads to a yeasty, roasty (coffee, black malt) start, followed by a growing, almost oatmeal-like oiliness which combines with the other darker malt flavors (cocoa, coffee, burnt toast) and a hint of Granny Smith apple (that's what my notes say!) to give this brew a vast depth within its medium body. It thickens, rounds, and becomes a little sweeter as it warms, as a good porter should IMO. It finishes with a bitter chocolate, roasted, round flavor that makes you SO happy they bottle this in 750ml bottles as opposed to 12 oz. So quaffable.

Decent head, hold some and then leaves some uneven rings of lace. Big roasted malt flavour, soft yet dominant like a huge heavy pillow of roasted grain. Yeast makes its way in and drops a nutty flavour throughout. Hops are on the side line and add to the earthy flavours. Goes down very well.

Had on tap at New World Tavern--Plymouth--served into a pint glass
Appearance: dark brown in color, 1/4 inch head, opaque, moderate carbonation, nice lacing--really beautiful pour
Smell: roasted malt, sweet and dark chocolate
Taste: follows the nose with chocolaty notes
Mouthfeel: medium bodied, moderate carbonation, sweet with a solidly bitter backbone.
Overall: This is an above average to good porter. A smooth sipper but not one that blew me away. I would have this again but there are others I would get first.

Thanks to Exiled for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a dark brown to black color with a tan head. The aroma is chocolate with some roasted malt. Pretty basic porter.
The flavor is chocolate, coffee and roasted malt. Nothing fancy, but very well done and easy to drink.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Bottle shared by Mark – much obliged!
Pours one shade from black with a tan head that leaves solid lacing.
Smells of heavily roasted malts with hints of semi-sweet chocolate and tobacco. Also present are very slight amounts of char.
Tastes similar to how it smells, though smoother. Robust roasted malts up front are joined quickly by smooth semi-sweet chocolate flavors. Midway through, the tobacco and hints of smokiness come into play, carrying through to a solidly bitter finish. Mouthfeel is good, with decent carbonation.
Overall I really enjoyed this beer, though I'm partial to dry examples of the style and those that lean toward the roasted end of the spectrum. Well worth a shot.

Was looking for a nice porter the other night and had this recommended by my neighborhood friendly beer monger. Popped it open and poured into a Portsmouth Pint Glass.
A - Pours dark and thick into the glass. No real head despite an aggressive pour, but the carbonation "rebounded" to produce a thin head a few seconds after the pour.
S - Smell is heavy of burnt, spent coffee grounds. There's notes of smoke and vanilla in the nose as well. Smell is inviting and what I was looking for.
T - This was interesting. There's a fair bit of complexity in this one. There's a base of burnt toast, coffee grounds, and caramelized sugar. The middle brings out some vanilla, which is quickly tempered by a somewhat unpleasant tang in the finish. I'm not sure how to describe the aftertaste, but it's ... well, not my thing.
M / D - Good coating mouthfeel that doesn't stick around past it's welcome. I would have liked a bit more carbonation in this, but it's about right for the style. It's drinkable enough, I just wish I could get past that aftertaste.

22 oz bomber.
Very thick look with shades of brown and black and a towering, cooling lava look. Slow dissipation, plenty of coverage.
Big, lush fruity sweetness, especially in the hops. Dark berries, chocolate pie, frothy mocha effect, vanilla cream, slightly spicey and smokey scented malt.
A very dry, snappy feel, earthy bitter hops, charred chocolate malt, nice hop bite but also creamy and lush foamy quoff. Interesting balance, big, dry earthy hops, very dark malt with very little sweetness.
The body and feel is a light medium feel, slightly thin but it goes down easy with slight smoothness at the end.
A mighty fine Porter.

This pours a jet black with a huge foamy head.There is a major amount of carbonation in this beer.The aroma is not overpowering,but you can make out some nice roasted malt aroma.The taste is dominated by roasted malt flavors.I can't really make out anything else,but the roasted flavor is very good.The m/f is heavy,but the beer has too much carbonation,like all their others,for my taste.This is a pretty good porter,flawed but good.

Pours a good-looking two-finger light tan head, creamy and fluffy. Lasts a long while before leaving some lace as it minimizes. Color is as black as a porter can get, totally opaque and just a hint of dark red highlights when held to light.
Aroma is a very forward thing of smoke, cocoa and mineral. Dry, earthy and to-the-point.
Smokiness and bitter burnt chocolate dominate on the tongue, with some flaked cocoa and nutty coffee roast coming in. I don't detect the licorice character noted on the label. Mineral stoniness to the flavor as well, right into the finish (what little finish there is -- the smoke flavor hangs around long after the rest of the finish fades). A ghost of tartness/sourness lingers way in the background, wanting to be like those ancient traditional porters, but not quite getting there. A minuscule hint of milk sweetness flashes by, but I wonder if that's just wishful thinking, because this could use a little sweetness or juiciness or something.
Pretty dry stuff, with good balance of carbonation and a fuller, milkier feel. Glides down easily with a decent degree of slickness. No stickiness.
Fairly one-dimensional, but certainly well made, delivering all the heartier aspects of the porter style. I could live without it, but would never turn it away. Worth a shot if you're a porter fan.

Having been warned of this brewery's quality control, I did not expect much. I received even less. Mediocre porter. Good aroma, lace, but sour and strong carbonation. My mates poured out. Nothing I can point my finger at, such as oxidization. Rudy provided, but his home brewed porter exceeded this is taste and drinkability.

A - Pours charcoal colored with a heavy brown foam. Minimal lacing.
S - Malty scent with notes of toffee and chocolate. Hearty aromsa.
T - Decent flavor of malt, and cocoa. Could use a bit more bite at the end; I found it a little thin.
M - Decent drinker, slightly watered down, but it is a good porter to have a few and feel like you ate a multi-course meal.
O - Decent porter, but not something I'd actively seek.

It must have been a bad bottle. I have had Cisco before, usually on the Island, and NEVER experienced this. First, it was over carbonated. The minute I popped the cap, it started fizzing over. Forget pouring it, I had to wait ten minutes for it to settle down. The taste: Great tasting porter except there was a lingering plastic taste. A bad bottling line? Perhaps. I did notice when I left the glass out for two hours (having given up on it) the plastic taste subsided. It taste a hell of a lot better, robust, roasted, great hops. But I only dicovered this because I could not bring myself to dump the beer.

4.03/5 rDev +6.9%
A - Great big dark brown coloration, nice beige head that's big and laces nice.
S - Coffee, dark chocolate. There's nothing milky here. It's like smelling pure coffee or cocoa beans. Great. Bordering on robust but not quite.
T - Pretty big flavors. Dark chocolate, bold East African coffee, raisins, prunes, with a big beery after bite.
M - Medium to full bodied. I think the carbonation could be toned down a little here. Nothing to complain about thought. Dry, resinous aftertaste on the tongue. Nice.
D - A good beer. Nice to see a brewery from the home state making a name for themselves with so many quality releases. You can taste the inspiration of Cape Cod in this one. There's a nice Cape breeze and brininess to this beer. It's a dark beer you'd be bound to drink at a beach at a clambake. I appreciate that.

A dark brown chestnut colored body with reddish light coming through. Capped by a mediocre tan colored head.
Aroma is well hidden it seems, but hints of cocoa and coffee come through. Really subtle on the nose.
Flavor is a little bit of everything you'd expect in a porter. A slight bitterness is offset by a chocolaty sweetness and a slight hint of burnt coffee. Not much of a roasted barley note so its hard to tell whether or not it was included.
Mouthfeel has a medium-light body with a rather smooth feel. Overall a drinkable porter but there are better options at this price point.

22oz bomber poured into a pint glass. White label, different than the one pictured above.
Poured jet black, quick tan foam. Opaque.
Smells roasted - coffee, dark chocolate. Taste is more of the same - a chewy blend of roasted malts with good bitter balance. High carbonation. Little like an iced coffee taste, but much better and more residual bittering.
Dry finish - easily mistaken for a stout.
Drinkable, well made porter. Good example of the style.

4.28/5 rDev +13.5%
Wow...what a head!!! A large creamy, bi-colored (light and dark tan) was present with a dark almost black color...real eye candy. Smell was nutty and oak-like, suggesting an oak barrel. Taste was full-bodied with nutty, oak-like characteristics and a distinctive, bitter aftertaste that was very nice. Mouthfeel was rounded, with decent body. Nicely drinkable for the 7.0 abv. A definite recommendation.

3.3/5 rDev -12.5%
Poured from very big bottle to a pint glass the liquid, WOW, a gusher, way too much carbonation. The head is huge, too huge, almost tan, and leaves ok lace.
The smell is mostly dark fruit with some coffee and a bit of chocolate.
The taste is ok, acidic coffee notes and dark dried fruit.
The mouthfeel is not so great the body is okand the carbonation is to much.
The drinkability not great bot I would not say don't try it. MK

Cowboys Considering a Uniform Change?
According to NFP, the Dallas Cowboys could be making a slight change to uniforms. Don't be alarmed...They're not changing the signature helmets or home whites. They just want to adjust the color of the pants so that true Cowboys colors shine through on HD screens.

- Time management is key - make sure you are completing assignments when they're due and staying on top of things. It will only get more difficult to balance as the semester progresses, so put yourself in a good position for success at the start!
- If you don't understand something in a class, get help EARLY by talking to your professors or instructors or work with a tutor.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help! Better to do that than be standing on the sidewalk as the bus pulls away with the rest of the team for a weekend series!
- It is also extremely important for all players at this time to become very aware of their bodies and the habits that will allow them to perform at optimal level, (e.g. getting plenty of rest, eating good meals, doing daily body maintenance work).
Taking care of business now will put you in good position to start the season and continuing to be disciplined and focused will help you through the ups & downs during the season.
Good luck to you!

(From Fast Company) -- Playing video games is often viewed as a sedentary or slothful activity. But as educators, thought leaders and the world's largest corporations secretly know, gaming is also potentially the best thing to happen to management training since the advent of company off-sites and career workshops. With the world's largest firms quickly turning to principles of "gamification" to educate new recruits, be forewarned: Blistered thumbs may be a signature hallmark of tomorrow's most successful executives.
Credit conceptual frameworks and gameplay elements that inherently teach players how to manage limited resources, respond to stressful simulations and problem-solve in real-time within a variety of both plausible and fantasy contexts. Even traditional titles found on GameStop's shelves teach kids basic everyday management skills, claims Ian Bogost, associate professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology and founder of software maker Persuasive Games. "Look at World of Warcraft: You've got 11-year-olds who are learning to delegate responsibility, promote teamwork and steer groups of people toward a common goal."

(From IndustryWeek.com) -- According to a survey by Right Management released on Feb. 7, 31% of respondents said their organization lacked high-potential leaders.
Across the board talent was in short supply as well with 23% of respondents citing this as a problem.
"After three years of organizational contraction and less internal investment companies are taking a hard look at their onboard talent and aren't pleased with what they find," said Michael Haid, senior vice president of Talent Management for Right Management. "Lean times make it hard for organizations seeking to recruit, retain or develop future leaders. And they're keenly aware of the tough competitive environment they're in and the need to hold onto and build leadership."

(From PRNewswire) -- Many executives foresee leadership shortages in the year ahead and are looking at programs to accelerate leadership development within their companies, according to new research from Deloitte. The Deloitte report, "Talent Edge 2020: Redrafting Talent Strategies for the Uneven Recovery," identifies a number of significant trends driving corporate talent strategies and tracks how companies are responding to shifting economic realities.
"The standout findings from our research are two-fold: the near universal agreement about the existing and potentially growing shortage of executive leadership and the significant regional differences in talent needs around the globe," said Alice Kwan, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and talent services leader. "Talent leaders in today's business environment are taking responsibility for their futures by focusing investments and capabilities on rebuilding and developing new talent programs for leaders and critical employees within their organizations."

(From blogs.hbr.org) It's hard to find leaders of the human resources (HR) function who are active in helping their organization improve the way it works. I asked dozens of people who are in HR or in process improvement to share examples of HR change leaders, and I only found a few.Though it's rare, here's an indicator of what is possible. In 2009 Tony Scibelli, Vice President of Human Resources and Operations at Faxton-St. Luke's Healthcare learned that the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Nursing Officer were going to launch "relationship-based care," a comprehensive cultural change program to focus doctors' and nurses' attention on patients and their families. He offered to have HR involved to address the people aspects. He showed them how HR could weave relationship-based care and continuous improvement into the fabric of this community hospital in central New York, for example by hiring and promoting the right people. He was at the table with them as they planned training and communications, and as they decided how to reward people who took on improvement projects.

(From The Washington Post) -- Today's combat leaders, also known as tomorrow's cohort of generals and admirals, are as operationally and tactically competent as any in our history. But in a period of reduced resources in Defense, we need to raise leaders for whom a broken play is an opportunity not a failure. And for this, we must return to and rejuvenate the kind of leader development some commanders adopted before 9/11.
If combat and peacekeeping were not hard enough already, daily our world becomes more complex. Yet going into harm's way to accomplish missions for which we have never been trained is nothing new. From Vietnam's jungles to, decades later, the Arabian Desert, we have time and again had to operate in ways we never imagined. We took our hastily reorganized conventional units to Bosnia for a peace enforcement mission we never anticipated. We literally had to make up new tactics as we deployed.
The lessons most important for me throughout a career of reacting to the unanticipated always came when a senior officer took the time to show me what I had done wrong or what I could improve, regardless of whether the advice followed a disaster or a success. That's "scar tissue learning". It's the type of intimate and insightful investment in a young officer that yields operational maturity, adaptability and the confidence to take risks in the face of the daunting uncertainties of combat.

(From AMEinfo.com) -- Translating the UAE's leadership vision of establishing the country to be the centre of leadership excellence in the region, Du, Dubai Holding, DUBAL and First Gulf Bank have formed a UAE-based consortium of principal companies in the country, and launched an Executive Leadership Programme in collaboration with INSEAD, one of the world's largest and leading graduate business schools.
The INSEAD Executive Leadership Programme (ELP) was conceived and designed to bring a higher level of training to executives at the Vice President and above levels in the UAE.
"INSEAD's Executive Education Programmes create an environment where individual, group and organisation-wide learning is achieved simultaneously. We are honoured to partner with the consortium made up of leading UAE companies, in order to bring comprehensive leadership training to future leaders," said Dipak C. Jain, Dean of INSEAD.
With an aim to expound upon the skill set already demonstrated by those in senior executive managerial levels, the ELP, which will be delivered by INSEAD, will hone the attributes necessary to becoming a company leader, focusing on Strategy and Planning; Customer Centricity; Financial Management; Strategic Human Resources and Supply Chain Management. In addition, the course develops team building leadership and incorporates personalised executive coaching, with participants taking part in live case studies and CEO panels.

(From Business Wire) -- In a foresight report released today, Hay Group, the global management consultancy, identifies the six most significant trends that will affect organizations, employees and managers over the next two decades, and the key competencies required of successful future leaders.
"Shifting trends indicate that the next generation of leaders will need to be adept conceptual and strategic thinkers, have deep integrity and intellectual openness, and find new ways to create loyalty among employees," said Georg Vielmetter, regional director, Leadership and Talent, Europe, at Hay Group and the leader of the report. "Managers will need to relinquish their own power in favor of collaborative approaches, both inside and outside their organizations. In some cases, this means abandoning many of the behaviors that propelled leaders to the top of their organizations in the first place."
The report, Leadership 2030, examines six global trends--globalization, climate change, demographic shifts, digitization, individualization and technological convergence--and their impact on leadership and organizations.

(From The Washington Post Blog) -- Despite the lean times that lie ahead, the great challenges facing our nation and the need for more effective government call out for investing in the development of a new generation of leaders.
Of course, knowing you need to invest in a future leadership corps is not enough. You also need to determine the best approach so that you see a real return in the form of cost savings, employee engagement and agency performance.
Last week, my organization, the Partnership for Public Service, hosted a conversation with agency leaders and public and private sector experts about effectively developing high-potential employees. The group included authorities from the Office of Personnel Management, the Merit Systems Protection Board and PDRI, a research and consulting firm in the field of industrial-organizational psychology.

(From eCornell) -- Today's organizations find it challenging to locate and put in place a new generation of leadership that is both proactive and pragmatic. Disproportionately this new generation of leaders will come from the pool of people within an organization, often referred to as "high potentials." But here's the rub: By what criteria do we decide whether somebody is a high potential suited for a leadership position?
Sam Bacharach, McKelvey-Grant Professor at the School of Industrial & Labor Relations of Cornell University and author of more than 10 eCornell online courses in high-performance leadership, suggests five criteria for selecting high potentials in his new whitepaper Criteria to Identify High Potentials in Your Organization.

I was spinning my wheels with no direction. I've spent thousands on other programs that just don't deliver. Now I've got real-time daily support &
a true track to run my business on! I've got coaches who know what it really takes to make it,
and they're sharing every juicy nugget with me! Now I KNOW success is mine for the taking! What a great feeling! Thanks to Online Professional Resources!
Every bit of marketing genius is now in my back pocket to take me to the top! Thanks to Online Professional Resources, I'm taking my business to places I only dreamed of!

Whole family on FIRE working as a UNITED TEAM!
"When we received the Call and accepted the challenge, our business had been in a long-period of stagnation. We knew we had to do something! Within two weeks, we have already talked to more people than we had in the past two years, increasing our confidence, creating more unity, developing new skills in advertising, lead generation, and most importantly making more sales!"
-Michael and Sevda
...a "MUST HAVE" for all Network Marketers, whether you are brand new to Network Marketing or already have a team working with you. I recommend this program 100% because it is the only program I know that is totally interactive, tailored made for you to help you win BIG. I can speak with authority as I have wasted thousands of dollars on programs that lacks the human touch. Your search is over. Your support is here. Grab this program NOW!!

Julie has the ability to quickly analyze what needs to be done to accomplish set goals, always completing them in a timely manner. She carries a rare combination of being able to work as both a team player and as team leader towards the good for all.
~ Liz Wertz, NetChase Web Design & Management
Thanks to Julie Booz and her Online Professional Resources I have collected $2500 in orders which generated around $400 in income for me. I have made over 30 business contacts and I have several people in my pipeline that will be joining me in business in the next few weeks. I have learned more about internet marketing in the past two weeks than I had in the past 2 years prior. I look forward to whats coming in the next few months.
Jeremy Crane
What else can I say besides AMAZING!!
I struggled for years to try to get my business going, buying different products that promised phenomenal results only to be sorely disappointed by what was not delivered.
Online professional resources is an EXCEPTIONAL program that has HANDS ON ONE ON ONE coaching. My mindset and skill set has changed so dramatically in such a short period of time that I have to pinch myself to make sure that it is real!! My business is growing and I know that it will soon be at a level that I have been working towards for years.
It is not a "walk through the park" by any means and is only for those that are serious about building their business to EXTRAORDINARY heights. Goals and tasks are assigned daily and they are to be completed. After all this is your business and you are your own destiny.
This is and will continue to be a very INTENSE journey. I urge everyone that has a home-based business to undertake this program not because it is easy but because it is hard. Anything that is worth doing is hard and comes with obstacles that need to be overcome, but when you conquer those obstacles and reach the summit of success you will look back and realize that it was worth the journey.
Suzanne Lavigne
Before joining my husband and I worked really well in spurts but hadn't been consistent enough to really break through to the next level of production we were seeking. Since joining the team my daily business activities have drastically changed and I'm quickly developing the habits of a leader and massive producer. I'm learning MANY new skills which enable me to be much more efficient and effective than ever before. This has been the missing link in my stepping into the greatness I desire!
Thank you!
Brooke Sullivan
Since taking on the Challenge, I am BRANDING myself all across the internet and I am generating lead after TARGETED lead for FREE which is totally reinventing my business!
In addition, am learning INVALUABLE mindset, skill set and marketing strategies.
For example I have CONSISTENTLY ranked on the FIRST PAGE of Google for the keyword 180DaysToGreatness.
This is an intensive, comprehensive program that just CANNOT be beaten, PERIOD!

I am not sure about deep divisions. The doves seem to be firmly in control of the Fed for the foreseeable future. I really don't see the connection between printing trillions of dollars and lower unemployment. It may have a temporary palliative effect but the morning after comedown could be very problematic.

THIS WEEK: Dakota State (3-5 overall record) heads on the road this week for a pair of games. The Trojans head to the Corn Palace Monday (tonight) to face their in-state rival Dakota Wesleyan (5-3) for both teams' second meeting of the season. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. On Friday night, DSU travels to the Lied Fitness Center in Omaha, Neb. to face a nationally-ranked team Saint Mary (Neb.) (10-3). The starting game time is set for 7 p.m.
LAST MEETING: Dakota Wesleyan used the first-half spurt to defeat Dakota State 76-65 in both teams' first meeting on Nov. 15 at DSU Fieldhouse. With the score tied at 17-17 with ten minutes and 33 seconds before halftime, the Tigers used a 16-0 run to break the tie into a 33-17 lead nearly four minutes left in the first-half. DWU held a 35-27 halftime lead. The Trojans could get no closer than six points in the second-half (46-40) with 11:23 remaining in the game. Julie Munson had 23 points in the game.

The Trojans grabbed a slim 18-16 lead at halftime. The Flames outscored DSU 34-15 in the second-half to defeat the Trojans 50-33. DSU was 22 percent from the field, while Saint Marty shot 29.5 percent.
LAST TIME OUT: Dakota State lost its exhibition game against NCAA Division II Augustana (S.D.) on Nov. 25. The Vikings held the Trojans to below 25 percent shooting from the field as AC earned a 75-37 win. DSU bounced back in the winning column on Dec. 3 as they defeated their former Dakota Athletic Conference foe Mayville State 67-60 in overtime thriller. The Trojans went 3-for-4 from the field in overtime, while the Comets missed its seven shots. Dakota Wesleyan, a member of the Great Plains Athletic Conference, split a pair of road games last week. The Tigers defeated Dordt (Iowa) 63-56 on Nov. 30, but fell short to No. 5 Hastings (Neb.) 64-59 on Dec. 3.

exhibition loss to Augustana on Nov. 29. She had 10 points and pulled down 10 rebounds.
