Force Breakdown:
Greg Oden
Strength: A defensive force field. Whether a ground attack or mortar bombardment, he has the ability to deflect close-in shots, negating an opponent's offense and opening the door to a lightning counter-attack before the enemy can stabilize their defensive lines. Highly mobile with excellent recovery speed, he comes fully loaded with a fan friendly personality and strong work ethic.
Weakness: Although test trials inspired optimism, minor hardware issues required a component refurbishment pushing back the roll-out date by one year. The release of Greg 2.0 will be the most anticipated defensive deployment in history. It is expected to take at least two years to network the peripheral units into the missile defense plan, but once that is accomplished the overall performance of the team is expected to improve geometrically.
Note: Terrorist sabotage is suspected in the hardware problem. The suspected cell was smuggled in using a couch disguise. It is believed that the terrorists were Red Lectroids from the 8th dimension, and a recent banishment ceremony was performed to cast them back to their dimension. Contact Dave or Buckaroo Banzai for more details.
Brandon Roy
Strength: Excellent field commander. Although only in his second tour of duty, he has displayed veteran leadership in tense combat situations. His work in Sniper School is already paying dividends with repeated long range scores in a recent game against the Mavericks. He excels at recon missions, going behind enemy lines and calling for artillery fire from the perimeter by passing out to Martel Webster, or performing a raid on his own if the opportunity presents itself.
Weakness: Even the great warrior Achilles had a weakness, and in Roy's case it is the same. Due to his high level of competence he is called upon to carry out numerous missions running the risk of aggravating his old war wound in his heel or suffering a new injury. Until the other members of the unit advance in their training, Roy's greatest weakness will be his indispensability.
LaMarcus Aldridge
Strength: Unbeatable desire to excel. He has the ability to traverse a variety of environments and adapt to the needs of the moment. If a vanguard force is needed to challenge the enemy line, he's able to use his speed and positioning to attack bigger and slower opponents. If he faces a more mobile defender, he is able to win through better execution. He comes with a solid range of base options, but has been designed to accept upgrades on a yearly basis. The most recent upgrade to his capabilities has been increased range on his indirect fire to the three point line. Although typically the domain of lighter units or artillery, adding that capability has made him a more versatile threat with a larger area of influence. It requires opposing forces to defend further away from their base or risk being destroyed by long range fire. If the defender is lured out of position, Aldridge has the speed to attack on his own or he can call in a raid through the gap.
Weakness: No dramatic weakness is apparent in this upgraded version, although additional upgrades in the area of rebounding would be welcome on future models.
Martel Webster
Strengths: Webster's ability as a long range artillery commander is growing by the day. He has worked on correcting software issues in his CPU during the offseason. He has also been performing better maintenance and training on his chassis, and has gone to a high octane fuel source that seems to have enhanced his handling and overall performance. He appears to have upgraded the annoying software system that refused to upload new data with a new wireless communication and GPS system linking him with other teammates to ensure he is where he needs to be so incidents of friendly fire are avoided. In addition to his long range ability, he has shown great improvement in his ability to defend against enemy penetrations and in the ability to accelerate the offensive tempo with key rebounds. Should this progress continue, he will become a crucial element in the Greg 2.0 era next year.
Weakness: Despite his recent improvements which are dramatic, it wasn't long ago that he was deemed a pipe-dream. His performance this season has been exemplary, but he needs to prove that he can continue to operate at this higher level for an extended deployment. How he responds when the opposition specifically prepares for him in their ops plan will be the true test of his ability.
Additional unit member evaluations are available upon request.
Sometimes I've just got too much time in my day.

I don't know what to make of this one. Its not like any dunkel or wheat beer I've had. Pours dark brown with some haze and a rocky off-white head. Aroma is heavy with rye and roasted grain. Initial taste of wheat turns into toasted rye bread. The smoke shows up in the finish, but not in an overwhelming way. I enjoyed it, but I can see it is not for everyone.

A Coca Cola color with hints of orange and reddish hues. The seems to be little bits of yeast through out the beer. There is a small off white/slightly tan head in the glass.
Nose: A nice wheat and toasted malt with, nuttiness. There seems to be hints of citrus, herbal, and esters.
Taste: A nice wheat/toasted malt with a nuttiness and some molasses. There are notes of citrus, herbal, and esters.
Overall: This is a descent beer and it is very easy to drink. This was one of my first few beer that I tried way back a long time ago I had this beer stacked in my notes and now I can put it down in my profile.

My second favorite of the Brew Pat. Collection that me and a friend split. All of these brews had sedement in them so they poured pretty cloudy, not too much head on this one but it had decent lacing. Malty smell and taste. I would probably drink this one again

Taken from my old notes.
Pours a hazy brown with little head.
Smell is roasted malt with some caramel, possibly even coffee.
Taste is not overly sweet from the malt and caramel as it does have some hop balance, good carbonation with a dry finish.
Probably the best of this Patriot Collection.

Pours a cloudy dark amber with minimal head and good lacing. Malt slightly on the nose. Taste is thicker, but does not stick around long. You get tones of sweet malts, but they do not linger at all. Smooth on the mouth with a slightly bubbly edge to it. I am editing my scores now as I continue trying to drink this one. I think this one might get dumped too. Might be worth trying once, but not worth going back to.

3.08/5 rDev -13.2%
This pours a decent head that doesn't last all that long, but leaves a pretty nice lace. This is a very cloudy brown; a traditional unfiltered haze.
The nose is sublte, but very nice. A bready, rich smell with a little tang. Very nice.
This isn't anything special on the tongue. Not particularly silky, but it has a nice lively carbonation.
This is much lighter in flavor than i expected. The dark cloudy color made me anticipate a darker flabor, but that isn't the case here. Pleasing typical wheat beer flavor. Nice but really nothing special.
i did enjoy drinking this, but the light flavor belied the alcohol contnet which seemd to me a little higher than average. Good beer, but way harder to come by than it's worth.

Moving on to the third part of this, the Brewer Patriot Invitational, is James Madison Dark Wheat Ale. Served at room temperature like the other beers so far in this invite, and poured into a weizen glass, on to the beer:
The beer takes on a hazy caramel color, topped by a large head. Fruity undertones in the aroma, with touches of brown sugar sweetness. In the taste, the smokiness from the smoked grains is subtle, and help create a overall harmony of flavor. Candied apples, wood chips, and some caramel. As with other wheat beers, it's an easy drinker and doesn't get boring.
Here's a beer I would like to see on the SA production line again. It has a nice mellow flavor which you can toss back a few of. I'm sad to see my glass approaching empty as i type this. I guess I'll have to hope the Root Beer Brew, the final recipe of the Brewer Patriot Invite, is just as good. Oh, about that, it'll be a matinée tasting tomorrow.

Unlike some of the nine-day wonders that have popped up in the capital of late, The Summerhouse aims to be around for six months (from Easter until October). Dreamily located by the banks of Little Venice, just a skip from its permanent sister The Waterway, this breezy newcomer sports a blue & white striped nautical theme with sunny echoes of a Long Island beachside retreat. Seafood is the main culinary event, with transatlantic favourites including New England clam chowder, popcorn shrimps with sweet chilli sauce & swordfish steak alongside fish pie, mussels & halibut with béarnaise sauce. To finish, it has to be knickerbocker glory or Pimm's jelly. Drinks include international wines & seasonal refreshers such as the Waterside Cooler (Havana rum, lime juice & orange liqueur topped up with ginger beer). The Summerhouse has its own moorings, if you fancy turning up by boat.

Carbon fantasy: Don't hike the RGGI tax
RGGI is a pact in which the New England states and three others agree to limit carbon emissions by law. The states then sell to power producers credits that allow those producers to emit specific amounts of carbon. Producers thereby pay for their emissions, giving them an incentive for reduction.
The current RGGI emissions cap is 165 million tons a year. The RGGI states are producing nowhere near that much carbon - not because of RGGI, but because of the marketplace. Cleaner-burning natural gas is cheaper than coal, and a big movement to gas in the past several years has reduced emissions. So has the economy. Less economic activity means less demand for power.
All of this means that the states don't have the RGGI windfall they desired.
Those emissions credits meant big bucks for states, which would then spend the money on energy efficiency projects. With little demand for the credits, the price for them has fallen, and states are out millions. But politicians always have plans for obtaining the cash they want to spend.
The RGGI states want to lower the carbon emissions standards from 165 million tons a year to 91 million. Why? To raise the price of the credits.
This will further increase electric utility rates, which RGGI boosters acknowledge. But it won't have any noticeable impact on the climate. India, China and other growing economies are belching out so much carbon that any reduction caused by RGGI limits will be overwhelmed. We will pay higher rates not to cool the planet, which this change will not cause, but to give the states bigger "energy conservation" slush funds.
The state Senate's Energy and Natural Resources Committee has approved the bill to authorize this RGGI change. It already has passed the House. The Senate is the only hope for avoiding this rate-hiking scheme. Senators should do their jobs and protect New Hampshire residents from this needless tax increase.

I keep hearing that we can't make a trade because we would be giving up players who are... just too good.
Who are these players?
The only players I see that are worth keeping are roy, lma, oden and batum. Other than that i say lets make a deal to get some real talent. Rudy's shot looks like the WNBA is calling (seriously he shoots it from his shoulder and needs about 4-5 feet of room to get it off) Bayless can drive but is inconsistent and has arms as long as an elemantary school ruler. I look at role players on other teams... Shannon Brown is better than rudy and probably won't make a fool of himself at the dunk contest. I would rather have kyle lowry than bayless. This just names a couple of guys that you wouldn't think of as big time trade bait and yet they are better than our scrubs.
Now lets look at our expiring contracts... outlaw and blake. If you can move either for anything you better! Neither of these two will be with the team next year so any value we can get in return is something for nothing since this year is for not.
Two young teams... OKC and Memphis both have a more promising future than we do. They both have better players and better young players. It's time for the blazers to get rid of some of their over rated garbage ( rudy, bayless, webster, pendegraph) and bring in some real players.

Britt Robson's back with The Wolves Stay Afloat in Limbo. A meaty post that dishes on the Wolves' playoff status, our shooting guard woes, Lazar Hayward, our small forward situation and previews of the Utah and Denver games.
Big Al's footwork, wealth of head and ball fakes, and sweet touch around the hoop make him one of the NBA's premier low-post scorers. But he is a terrible pick-and-roll defender whose absence of peripheral vision or a quick first step dooms his team's defense even when he is going all out. Paring him with the undersized Millsap — who frequently jumps passing lanes and tries to deny entry feeds in the post, selling out for steals — creates a frontcourt sieve that helps explain why Utah gives up the second-most points in the paint in the NBA.
If the Wolves are fundamentally sound, Pekovic and Love should have a field day on offense, but both will be challenged to stop Jefferson's guile and Millsap's quickness and energy (Cunningham might be a helpful counter here) on defense.
Also, Joan Niesen on Rubio skipping the road trip, Spree's loud music bust, and AK's return to Utah.

She is also a member of the Editorial Board of PMLA (Publications of the Modern Language Association).
The lecture is free and open to the public.

WTC: More on Clowe, Heatley's NMC no longer in effect
What was previously reported by THN a while ago was just confirmed by Pollak: the Sharks are not bound by Heatley's no-trade clause. Also, Clowe felt like at first he was "squeezing his stick too tight," but now feels like he's in the right spot, but just getting unlucky points-wise. He also says he feels like he scores in bunches. Heatley's return to Atlanta will be the eighth time since he was traded, and he says that now it's not as emotional or hard as it was initially after the crash and the trade demand. And the Sharks aren't leaking any info about Pavs and Torrey, other than they're skating and making progress.

The Washington Nationals simply do not have offensive firepower. Individually, the players are performing around their career averages. So we can rule out clutch hitting as an offensive woe.
Last year the Nats left the 12th most runners on base. This season, 28th. But this year the Nats simply have nobody to leave on base.
The Nats lack in all 3 major offensive categories: AVG, OBP, OPS.
In 2012 the Nats had the 8th highest team AVG - this season, 27th.
In 2012 the Nats had the 12th highest team OBP - this season, 28th.
In 2012 the Nats tied for the 7th highest team OPS with Detroit, DETROIT! - this season, 25th.
Luck is not to blame. It's just the lack of offensive talent. It's time to make a move or two, or three.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Tucked away in a little alcove near the end of the Black Magic Buttress section, Little Pearl is a short but fun route. It doesn't get much traffic, probably because of the excellent neighboring lines in the Treasure Chest section, but it's definitely worth doing if you're in the area. Little Pearl is also a good way to get to the top of climbs like Dodge City or Sinsophrenia and set up a toprope if you're not up to leading them.
Starts around the corner left of Confederate Arete in an obvious corner.
Mostly medium to large gear, up to 5". Anchor using trees at the top.


text: It's an interleague bonanza! I'd say something snarky about how you can use this calendar to help you avoid watching the 2008 Cleveland Indians, but we're a hardy bunch. If we can sit through Jon Perlman and Jaime Navarro and Fran Mullins and Aaron Boone, we can live through this, right? Anyway, click below for this month's wallpaper. Once again, I was able to just barely get it done before the month's games began. Two hours to spare this time.

Move to prevent projects turning into NPAs
Nearly 8,770 MW of power projects ready for commissioning but stranded due to lack of fuel supplies may get some relief.
The Government is looking to bring in changes in accounting standards that would prevent these units from being categorised as non-performing assets.
"It is on serious consideration of both the Ministries (Power and Corporate Affairs). The Power Ministry is reviewing the issue and would soon send the recommendations to the Corporate Affairs Ministry. No sooner this exercise is done, we will take the decision. It will not take more than 10-15 days," said Veerappa Moily, who holds charge of both the ministries – Power and Corporate Affairs.
To prevent the projects from turning into NPAs, private power producers have approached the Corporate Affairs Ministry for change in Accounting Standards 10 and 16, to allow provisioning of capitalisation of borrowing cost for the stranded gas-fired power units.
Moily on Friday met private power producers to discuss issues related fuel linkage, finalisation of standard bidding documents, commissioning of hydro power projects and distribution sector reforms, among others.
"The question is how to get imported gas in the stream and make it affordable. The Government will come up with changes in policy framework to see that all plants get gas to fire up to 70 per cent of plant load factor," said Director-General of Association of Power Producers Ashok Khurana.
The power companies want the Power Ministry to take up with Petroleum Ministry for allocation of additional 16 mmscmd, expected from new gas sources, to be allocated for the sector. They also want power sector to be accorded the top priority.
However, the imported coal-based projects run by Tata Power and Adani Power would not see any changes in their contracts. These units are facing trouble as coal prices in Australia and Indonesia have shot up.
"The Ministry is very clear that they would not like to consider issues which are before the regulatory commission. But, for the prospective biddings these shortcomings would be corrected," Khurana said.
Coal prices have fallen but still they are three and half times more expensive than linkage coal. There are also technical limits to blending, he added.

T-minus two days to launch. T-minus two days. College football starts Thursday evening. Here's hoping we don't have some sort of weird ignition fail...I mean, scandal...to blow up the season right after liftoff. To summarize:
Let's run down the casualty list from the battlefield - currently in the infirmary and awaiting severe surgery and/or amputation: Ohio State, Oregon, LSU, Miami. Currently awaiting minor cosmetic surgery: Boise State. However, since the NCAA surgeons are about as competent as surgeons in the middle ages, I'm sure they'll take a meat cleaver and cut off a finger or two just to get rid of a splinter from a two by four, or - for the female readers - maybe just take away our nose job, making us slightly uglier but not really noticeable to anyone who wasn't already paying attention. The others won't be so lucky.
Ohio State: will lose one tattoo-covered arm.
Oregon: may not have broken any rules, but will get penalized for running too fast and blending in with turf.
LSU: Will lose an arm and a leg. Jordan Jefferson may personally lose more (kicking a marine in the head? Mr. Jefferson, you're lucky you aren't in the ICU right now).
North Carolina: Should lose their head, but will settle for giving up two legs and an arm.
Miami: OFF WITH THEIR HEAD!!!
Meanwhile, Texas A&M can't seem to figure out if it's coming or going. Should they leave the Big 12 AND get rejected by the SEC, I see the Big Ten taking them and Missouri to get to 14. Conference expansion more or less ends there. All bets are off if the SEC takes A&M.
Last year, Boise State was one of the most polarizing teams in the nation. This year, Boise State has a not-so-insignificant sympathy factor working for it. Why? The loss to Nevada showed the world that, well, Boise State is human and not perfect. It won't be enough to catapult a potentially undefeated Bronco team into the MNC (assuming that the SEC champ has 2 losses and every other champ 1 loss), but it should be enough to keep Boise on top of the non-AQ pile - even with 1 loss - PROVIDED the 1 loss comes against Georgia.
Matt Miller and Geraldo Boldewijn are tied on the depth chart. I've seen a lot of comments along the lines of "we're in a lot of trouble if Miller beats out Boldewijn." Yes, I know the guy has crazy speed and is 6'4"...but Miller is 6'3" and WAS fast before his injury (and may be fast again). Maybe, JUST MAYBE, Matt Miller is far better than anyone expected at this stage. And maybe Boldewijn will never pan out into the player us fans thought or hoped he could be. Remember, Bronco fans, Boise State seems able to magically generate the parts it needs to keep rolling without so much as a hiccup (exception: Taylor Tharp's year as QB). Then again, Tharp was pretty darn good. Too bad the defense wasn't up to snuff that year.
Several fans seem to think that Mr. Tamburo gave Georgia and Coach Richt a fresh copy of Boise State's playbook. Everyone is riled up about this, says that Richt is playing dirty, yada yada, yada. I don't buy this freightcar-sized load of horse dung, and neither should you. Why? There are multiple reasons, but just for starters, and something that should be BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE: If it was an issue, there would have been a clause in his release prohibiting him from going to any opponents on Boise's schedule. Boise gave him an unconditional release. Translation: He possessed an inadequate knowledge of Boise State's schemes to present any sort of advantage over Boise State to other schools. If you really want the full list of reasons, say so and I'll post them in the comments.
MOVING ON: Georgia held a practice in the Georgia Dome, apparently with full pads, Pro Combat unis, the works. Boise State gets the same amount of field time at the Georgia Dome - just not in pads. They will conduct a walkthrough practice at the Dome on Friday. Advantage? Eh, probably. Anyone who thinks that Boise State isn't already wearing all whites in practice to prepare is just about as stupid as the person who thinks that Tamburo will make any sort of difference.
THE PART THAT MATTERS: Southeastern Conference refs. Seriously, guys? I suppose it could be worse...we could have Big Ten or WAC refs. If we assume bias - and while I don't believe that refs in any conference would intentionally sabotage a game - the refs could possibly account for one score - 7, maybe 8 points at the most. If a referee bias shows itself, then Boise State will need to be 10 points better than Georgia for a 3-point win. I really don't think it will be an issue - though to us, it WILL be an issue on every single penalty, because we want to see our team curb-stomp Georgia like they did to us in 2005.
TIME FOR IMPROVEMENT: Boise State fans, we need to grow some tougher skin. No need to scream bloody murder whenever some random fan comes over to one of the Boise fansites and starts talking smack. I've always been a big believer in letting actions do the talking. Remember, most of these people are trying to tear us down because they feel inadequate compared to us and are jealous of what we have.
WEEK 1 UPSETS: Arkansas State, Fresno State, Murray State, Southern Methodist.
GAMES THAT WILL BE CLOSER THAN YOU THINK: Tulsa, Minnesota.
MUST WATCH TV: FRIDAY: TCU @ Baylor, 7 PM Central, ESPN. Thundercats, 7:30 PM Central, Cartoon Network.
SATURDAY: Boise State @ Georgia, 7 PM Central, ESPN. Afternoon games will be regionally determined, so pick one that you are mildly interested in to pass the time.
IN A FINAL NOTE: the high school offense I coordinate put up 44 points and over 450 yards of offense - 360 of it through the air. However, that doesn't mean much when your defense gives up 610 yards and 68 points...at home.

Alrighty then, so the season is upon us and our Mavs will once again compete against some other random teams for that gold thingy. If you don't know me then you should, I'm always here during game threads and at night when I cry. Speaking of games, (that's a nice transition) The Mavericks home opener is tomorrow!
And who will be there exactly like he is at every home opener? Well not me. You see the thing is I go to every home opener, every year, but it's going to be different this time. My beloved Texas Rangers are going to the WORLD SERIES, with Game 1 being Oct 27th, the same day the Mavs start the season.
By the way, the home opener I missed was the 2005-2006 one, hmmm.

K2 doesn't get enough credit. Those highlights are SICK!
I miss Tanard.
I was really interested in seeing Bradford, hearing how he was a lot like Blount. Did you guy's notice the massive holes usc O-line was opening, you could have driven a semi through them. I wanted to see him really drag a pile of defender's and I didnt. He does seem a tad bit faster than blount, and had a few nice stiff arms. But im not super excited about him. Good pick up later in the draft though. watching freeman, william's, and winslow just gives ya goosebump's. I guess it's time for the bandwagon to gas up and get a oil change cuz it's about to be hauling a lot of weight. Go Bucs
Great post JDub. Out of all of the videos, the one I was the most excited about is Anthony Gaitor. I know I know he is too small.....
Quote from: flash_kiley on May 06, 2011, 10:26:08 AMGreat post JDub. Out of all of the videos, the one I was the most excited about is Anthony Gaitor. I know I know he is too small..... I keep hearing this but it really is a misconception. I could make a list of 20-30 of the top CBs of the decade and that are/were between 180-190lbd and 5'10" or 5'11" Everyone seems to think to be a great CB you have to be like 6'1" 210lbs like Talib or Aso, but they are actually the exception. I am just as excited about Gaitor as I am am any of our other picks. He has all the things you listed going for him, and I really don't think size is an issue.

Another Black — and Female — Classicist
Longtime readers (and others) of rogueclassicism will recall the Michele Valerie Ronnick project Twelve Black Classicists … today I find the Guardian cribbing from Wikipedia (with attribution) about Mary Terrell, a women's rights activist and, inter alia, a Classics major:
One of the reasons slaves were separated from common tribes at the time of their capture and shipment to various colonies was to cut any form of communication among them to ensure no plan of escape or revolt would take place. Slaves were not allowed to read or write to also prevent this from happening. They were not educated because if they were, they were more likely to resist slavery, as we saw in the case of Toussaint L'Overture, the slave who defeated Napoleon. One woman who made her name known to the world as the first coloured woman to earn a college degree is Mary Church Terrell. She is featured in today's Great Black Women in History series. Look out for next Wednesday's feature on Shirley Chisholm, first elected African-American women to have a seat in Congress.
Terrell was born in Memphis, Tennessee, to Robert Reed Church and Louisa Ayers, both former slaves.
Robert Church was mixed-race and said to be the son of his white master, Charles Church. He reputedly became a self-made millionaire from real-estate investments in Memphis and was married twice. When Terrell was six years old, her parents sent her to the Antioch College Model School in Yellow Springs, Ohio, for her elementary and secondary education. Terrell majored in classics at Oberlin College, she was an African-American woman among mostly white male students. The freshman class nominated her as class poet, and she was elected to two of the college's literary societies. She also served as an editor of the Oberlin Review. When she earned her bachelor's degree in 1884, she was one of the first African-American women to have earned a college degree. Terrell earned a master's degree from Oberlin in 1888.
She went on to teach at a black secondary school in Washington, DC, and at Wilberforce College, an historically black college founded by the Methodist Church in Ohio. She studied in Europe for two years, where she became fluent in French, German, and Italian.
On October 18, 1891, in Memphis, Terrell married Robert Heberton Terrell, a lawyer who became the first black municipal court judge in Washington, DC. As a high school teacher and principal, Terrell was appointed to the District of Columbia Board of Education, 1895-1906. She was the first black woman in the United States to hold such a position. In 1896, Terrell became the first president of the newly formed National Association of Coloured Women's Clubs (NACWC). NACWC members established day nurseries and kindergartens, and helped orphans. Also in 1896, she founded the National Association of College Women, which later became the National Association of University Women (NAUW). The League started a training programme and kindergarten before these became included in the Washington public schools. The success of the League's educational initiatives led to her appointment to the District of Columbia Board of Education. She also had a prosperous career as a journalist and wrote for a variety of newspapers published either by or in the interest of coloured people.
In 1904 Terrell was invited to speak at the International Congress of Women, held in Berlin, Germany. She was the only black woman at the conference. Terrell received an enthusiastic ovation when she honoured the host nation by delivering her address in German. In 1909, Terrell was one of two black women (Ida B Wells-Barnett was the other) invited to sign the "Call" and to attend the first organisational meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP), where she became a founding member. In 1913-1914, she helped organise the Delta Sigma Theta sorority. More than a quarter-century later, she helped write its creed that set up a code of conduct for black women. In 1940 Terrell wrote an autobiography, A Coloured Woman in a White World. Terrell lived to see the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v Board of Education, holding unconstitutional the segregation of schools by race. She died two months later at the age of 90, on July 24, 1954, in Anne Arundel General Hospital. (Information on Mary Church Terrell from Wikipedia.com)

Looking at the Parthenon
A nice overview from Athens News:
PEOPLE are still influenced and informed by traditional, low-tech means through public monuments, gatherings and speeches, but are also targeted with messages and information on current events or matters of state through television, radio, internet and the print media. In ancient times, on the other hand, religious, political or social messages aimed at the public were commonly transmitted through sculpted, figural art. Public buildings were often designed as imposing, three-dimensional message boards.
Today, with central Athens again witnessing violent clashes between demonstrators and police, one has only to look to the Acropolis or the Acropolis Museum's Parthenon Hall for age-old public reminders carved in stone that a civilised society's resistance against barbarism and chaos is a timeless struggle, never to be forgotten .
Conflict is nothing new to the Acropolis, since by the mid-5th century BC the rocky promontory had already been the site of a Mycenaean fortress and the scene of at least one well-known assault: its sacking by the Persians in 480BC, during which the temple of Athena Polias and the unfinished Older Parthenon – an intended victory monument and thank-offering after the Battle of Marathon in 490BC – were destroyed by the vengeful Persians.
Following this grievous incident, according to author and Notre Dame professor Robin Rhodes, Athenian leaders rebuilt the north wall of the Acropolis, using the ruins of these two important public buildings to commemorate the shameful event, to warn of the ongoing Persian threat, to stir up local sentiment against this enemy and perhaps to symbolise the Athenians' selfless sacrifice of their city to the general defence of the Greek mainland. Rhodes calls the Acropolis north wall "a unique monument in the history of Greece, [which] … is truly remarkable in its understanding of the potential power of ruins upon the emotions and imagination of people".
On the Acropolis, Pericles, ancient Athens' most renowned 5th century BC "mayor", oversaw the construction (447-432 BC) of the highly visible Parthenon: not only a gleaming, white-marble temple dedicated to the city's patron goddess Athena, but also a meaningful monument with three different types of elegantly carved sculpture. Freestanding statues stood in the temple's east and west triangular pediments; figural metope panels – called the Doric frieze – appeared around the outside of the building above the Doric colonnade; and a series of scenes carved in relief – the Ionic frieze – wrapped continuously around the upper, exterior walls of the temple's central naos or main chamber.
The Ionic frieze is the best preserved of the Parthenon's three major types of sculpture and has received much attention from specialists. Since nearly all the Parthenon's original sculpture has now been removed, however, and the extant figures on panels displayed in the Acropolis and British museums are so fragmentary or time-worn, visitors must rely on their imagination – what Cambridge art historian Mary Beard calls "the eye of faith" – to understand and appreciate the once-intricately carved sculptures' original appearances and meaning.
At present, the only original sculptures remaining on the Parthenon are the metopes of the west end and one metope on the southern side of the southwest corner. As part of the current west-end restoration, this last southwestern panel will also soon be removed.
In general, the Parthenon's inner Ionic frieze depicts a ceremonial parade of humans and animals that ends in the presence of an assembly of Olympian gods. This parade may have represented either 1) a generic procession; 2) the Greater Panathenaic procession held every four years, at the culmination of which a new robe (peplos) was presented as an offering to the ancient olive-wood cult statue of Athena Polias (housed in the adjacent Erechtheion); or perhaps, according to Rhodes, 3) a victory procession celebrating the Athenian-led defeat of the Persians (480-479BC), ending with Persian war booty being offered to the gods. Although the Panathenaic interpretation is the explanation most accepted by specialists, the latter suggestion is also appropriate and intriguing.
Athens' struggles against its enemies, especially the Persians, and its military triumphs are major themes on the Acropolis, as indicated by the hill's rebuilt, monumental north wall. The small but prominent Athena Nike temple also showcases various battle scenes in its own Ionic frieze. On the north side, University of Oregon classical archaeologist Jeffrey Hurwit reports, one sees the Athenians defeating the forces of Argos. On the south side, the Battle of Marathon is represented, while, on the west end, the Athenians are fighting to recover the bodies of the seven heroes who fought against Thebes.
On the east end, as on the east end of the Parthenon, a number of gods have assembled, either, according to Hurwit, "to honour Athena as guarantor of the victories depicted around the corners", or – in a more recent theory by Greek specialist Olga Palagia – to witness the birth of Athena.
Sculptural message
The Parthenon also was a monument to Athenian victory over the Persians (see box). It was the first temple built on Acropolis after the Persian sack of 480BC and replaced the destroyed Older Parthenon meant to commemorate the triumphant battle at Marathon. Debate may continue on the meaning of the Parthenon's Ionic frieze, but the messages of the metopes are clear.
On the north side are scenes from the Trojan War; on the south side mythical Lapith people fight with bestial centaurs; on the west end Greeks battle invading Amazons; while on the east end is depicted the Battle of the Gods against the Giants.
These sculptural series were read by ancient viewers to represent the struggle of Western Greeks against Eastern foes; civilised Greeks resisting natural brutish forces; Athenians defending their city against a foreign invasion and Greek gods preventing unruly monsters from overthrowing the cosmic order.
Through all of these conflicts (civilisation versus barbarism, reason versus passion, culture versus nature) ran the theme of Greeks, particularly Athenians, struggling against chaos and restoring the world to order.
Elsewhere on the Parthenon similar messages are transmitted. Rhodes claims that "the same struggle [seen on the metopes] between those irrational, hostile, bestial forces and the enlightened, reasoned world of civilisation and the Greeks is forcefully illustrated in the west pediment of the Parthenon, in the struggle between Poseidon and Athena for control of Athens".
Divine contest
The west pediment depicts that mythical moment when the Athenians as judges chose Athena and her gift of the olive tree rather than Poseidon and his saltwater spring. Central among the west pediment's freestanding sculptures, Poseidon stands firmly, Rhodes points out, as the God of earthquakes, the fearsome sea and the violent, uncontrollable forces of nature. Athena stands opposite him as the goddess of intellect: a symbol of wisdom, light and the positive forces of the cosmos.
The Parthenon's east pediment depicts another mythical subject, the birth of Athena. This great event, staged as a sculptural narrative framed by the rising of the sun (Helios) on the pediment's south end and the setting of the moon (Selene) on the north end, had enormous metaphorical meaning for the Athenians, as it also marked the dawning of a new day and age for Athens. In choosing Athena as their patroness, the Athenians caused their city to be reborn as a centre of intellectual power, wisdom, civilisation and light.
In Archaic or earlier times, the Athenians adopted Athena over Poseidon and chose to be farmers rather than sailors. In the Classical 5th century BC the Athenians reinvented themselves, became sailors again, with the encouragement of Themistocles, and through increased military might fought off the barbarians and restored civilisation from violent chaos. Now, with modernday chaos in the streets, perhaps the time has come again to "choose Athena".
A monument to Athenian victory over barbarians
"The Parthenon was the first building constructed on the Acropolis following Athenian release from the Persian threat, the first building constructed out of the rubble left untouched for all those years as a reminder of that threat. As such, it must certainly be associated with the intention to present Athens as final victor over the Persians, as the new leader of Greece, the mistress of an empire formed to defend Greece against barbarian destruction."

Moultrie - A man wanted for beating three people with a metal pipe in Moultrie is still on the loose.
20-year-old Fernando Malagon is wanted for three counts of aggravated assault. Police have issued an arrest warrant, but still haven't found him.
Investigators believe Malagon rushed into a Moultrie Inn room last Monday and beat 18-year-old Gezelda Calles, 6-year-old Jenifer Rivas and 9-year-old Dennis Rivas with a metal pipe. Both children were taken to a Tallahassee hospital but are doing much better. Calles was treated and released from a Moultrie hospital.
Police are hoping the public can help lead them to Malagon. Sgt. Roger Lindsay says, "Right now, we're just looking for his whereabouts. We've contacted some relatives and they're assisting with us trying to make his location."
Anyone with information should call Moultrie Police.

Saturday felt a little more like spring, and hundreds of kids in Pooler took advantage of the warmer temperature to get an early start on Easter. The Pooler egg hunt is an annual free event.
The First Presbyterian Church Of Pooler hosts it every year with the help of dozens of volunteers. Pastor John Fender says the best part of the event for him is all the happy faces he sees when the kids hit the field for the egg hunt. Pastor Fender says nearly 1,000 kids filled their baskets Saturday morning with more than 15,000 stuffed Easter eggs. Official word from the Easter bunny is that he was very happy with the turnout.

Screwed up Group – please help!!
I have two hidden groups on my site. One is called Advisory Body, the other is Executive Body.
I was playing around with the member management functionality on Advisory body using the built in functionality and that in the BP Group Management plugin, solely with the purpose of understanding how it worked.
Now whenever I go to http://om4ce.org/groups/advisory-body/, it shows the Activity Stream properly, but the header if for the Executive Body group (although it says No admins, (0) members, etc…) and at the bottom of the activity stream, it gives me 8 more group nav bars (for a total of one less than the total number of groups on the site – it's basically repeating the group loop from bp-default/groups/single/home.php).
I've checked the database with php-myAdmin to see if the group IDs somehow got corrupted, but that all looks right. I'm not sure what to do next to solve this. Any recs?

The state House of Representatives has begun final debate on a bill to take Pennsylvania out of the business of selling wine and liquor.
An amended version of House Bill 790 was reported out of the House Appropriations Committee in the morning.
A vote before the full House is expected late this afternoon or this evening. If approved, it would be the first time a liquor privatization plan has passed either chamber in the Pennsylvania legislature.
The bill would give beer distributors first shot at 1,200 licenses to sell wine and spirits. Unsold licenses would be sold to other businesses after a year.
Distributors would no longer have to sell beer by the case or keg, but could also sell any quantity of six-packs, 12-packs, and growlers.
Grocery and convenience stores would be allowed to sell up to 24 bottles of beer in six-packs and 12-packs if they have a restaurant license. Grocery stores could also be licensed to sell up to a case of wine, but buyers would not be permitted to use the self-checkout lanes.
The state-operated wine and spirit stores would be phased out as the number of private operations grows.

Hi, this is amalloc of SamBakZa.
This is the last episode of "There She Is!!" series.
I'm very happy for that I can completed this series as I thought.
"There She Is!!" was not a series when I make first one.
I didn't have any plan to make this as a series.
I surprised at all the letters, reviews, cheers, donations, fan arts and the others!!
It make me to draw more "There She Is!!".
So, thank you very much to NG, Tom, and all fans.
Thank you for giving me happy 5 years.
I hope you have a good time with this short animation.
The full title is "There She Is!! final step - Imagine"
(12/20) ======================
Thank you very much for the front page!! (so fast @_@)
Thank you very much for all the reviews!!
Thank you very much for all the score!!
... My English is useless like this time. All I can say is "Thank you very much!!" ;;;
Anyway, Thank you very much NG and all reviewers!!
This entire series actually brought a tear to my eye. Normally, a reviewer can either complain about the animation being bad or the plot being bad. You can't do either.
I will not lie, this is the most amazing and emotional plot I've ever seen in a flash movie. If nothing more, I want you to know that you have at least touched me with these flashes, an amazing feat. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying this, but thank you. These were amazing.
such a good movie
i can't get enough of this one,, these episodes are fantastic, excellent art, excellent music,, top notch,, want more!!!
Absolutely Brilliant.
The entire series was absolutely perfect. Just awesome animation and a beloved story. Absolutely brilliant.
...oh. my. god...
HOLY CRAP!!! Most of that stuff came by fo fast that when I blinked I missed most of the move! AWESOME!
I liked the bike scene where the guy went through the stoplight and stopped traffic with himself and his bike. That and the car scene going fast. awesome. You got mad skills yo.

The goal of the Water Quality Program is to ensure safe water for drinking and recreational use. Unsafe drinking water can lead to a bacterial or viral infection, particularly in vulnerable populations such as young children. Maintaining safe conditions in recreational areas, such as swimming pools, helps prevent persons from drowning and the spread of infectious diseases.
Backflow Prevention Testers protect potable drinking water sources by preventing contamination with unsafe water sources, such as waste water, at cross connections. For more information on cross connections and backflow tester certification, click here.
The On-Site Water Reuse for Commercial, Multi-Family, and Mixed-Use Developments Ordinance (pdf) authorized the San Francisco Department of Public Health to issue rules and regulations regarding the operation of alternate water source systems. For more information on this ordinance, click here.
In collaboration with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, SFDPH is piloting a project to allow installation of compostable toilets in selected settings. Potential projects may submit an application for this pilot project for consideration.
The San Francisco Health Code requires all public pools and spa pools to be licensed and have a valid Permit to Operate. For more information on swimming pools and spas and how to obtain a permit to operate, click here.
A permit is required to construct or destroy an environmental or geotechnical well or soil boring. For permitting information, click here.
A permit to operate is required for all monitoring wells, geotechnical wells, or production wells. For permitting information, click here.

Even though Winter Storm David dropped several inches of snow on the state, the Hartford and New Haven St. Patrick's Day parades are being held as scheduled and on Friday, crews prepared for the annual events.
"We're gonna have a parade. We're gonna have a parade," said Hartford Mayor Pedro Segarra. "Hopefully a lot of the snow will be cleared from the roads and sidewalks for tomorrow."
The Hartford St. Patrick's Day Parade stepped off at 11 a.m. Saturday morning on Capitol Avenue by the state Capitol.
"I get to celebrate my Irish heritage," said Governor Dannel Malloy, "All of my family is from Ireland, so it is a great day to be out here."
New Haven Mayor John DeStefano and the parade's grand marshal held a press conference to declare the parade will go on.
"Sunday, 1:30, promise guaranteed," DeStefano said.
The New Haven St. Patrick's Day Parade will be at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday and steps off at Chapel Street and Derby Avenue.
The mayor said there will be a parking ban in effect in New Haven until Friday at 6 p.m. to help clear the roads before the parade.
"We expect everyone to be there," DeStefano said.
The last time that the New Haven parade was postponed was in 1993.

Racism is so hard to find these days that it must be embedded, hidden, covert, indirect—that is, "coded."
So of course Donald Trump—who is many things, including a self-serving, narcissistic, publicity-hound—is of course a coded racist for questioning Barack Obama's credentials and asking whether his entry into Columbia or Harvard Law was due to affirmative action.
Well, affirmative action was and is a reality. And Obama's failure to reveal his transcripts feed the question and make it a valid one.
This accusation that Trump is a racist is actually sort of funny, though—that another coded racist remark of Trump's was his request that Obama "gets off his basketball court or whatever he is doing at the time" and work on dealing with the high gasoline prices at the pump.
