IN BRIEF: The company behind the Corner Market and Village at Almand Creek Apartments has started the process of studies for the 308-acre plot of land in Conyers that has long been in the works for mixed use commercial and residential development. However, a spokesperson said project was not related to the Baxter International medical manufacturing development. "It's not related per se," said development coordinator David Roeper. "If it doesn't do anything else, it brings more attention to the I-20 east corridor. That news clearly impacts us."
Two people were recently charged under Conyers' new regulations on spa businesses, the first such charges after the city began cracking down massage parlors.

"Actually that's my secret — I can't even talk about you to anybody because I don't want any more people to know how wonderful you are."
"All men have stars, but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems… But all these stars are silent. You-You alone will have stars as no one else has them… In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars will be laughing when you look at the sky at night..You, only you, will have stars that can laugh! And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me… You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure… It will be as if, in place of the stars, I had given you a great number of little bells that knew how to laugh"

Guy Fieri Responds to Wells' Review
On the 'TODAY' show, Fieri finally responds to the questions Pete Wells writes in his most recent New York Times review
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
This morning's TODAY show covered the question-filled saga that is Pete Wells vs. Guy Fieri (or perhaps Guy Fieri vs. Every New York Critic), and Fieri gets his word in as the TODAY show calls him a "seriously bruised restaurant owner" after Pete Wells' review (who a man-on-the-street calls "another pompous New Yorker.")
"I just thought it was ridiculous," Fieri says. "I mean I've read reviews, there's good and there's bad in the restaurant business, but that to me went so overboard it really seemed like there was another agenda."
As for why his Yelp page only has 2.5 stars (and all the other critics seemed less than happy with their own Guy Fieri American Bar & Kitchen experience)? "At this point in time at two months in, [we're] not really expecting to [be perfect]," he says. Try six months later.
In any case, Fieri stands by his food and claims Wells has a chip on his shoulder. "To me, it's impossible to come in to have a dining experience and have every single thing wrong unless you come in with a different agenda and you want to sensationalize something and you want to blow it out of the water," Fieri says. "It's a great way to make a name for yourself." Of course, Wells already has a name for himself, as he is The New York Times food critic. But then again, we don't know if he's making $100,000 for an hours' worth of public speaking. Check out the full interview below, plus The Daily Meal's interview with Fieri.
Update 3:54 p.m.: Guy Fieri has sent out a statement officially responding to Pete Wells' review, saying, he "wholeheartedly disagree[s]" with The Times. "I normally do not respond to reviews or critics, however, given the tone of Pete's piece, it's clear to me that he went into my restaurant with his mind already made up," Fieri said in his statement. "That's unfortunate. I take comments from patrons, fans, and visitors very seriously, and if there is ever a problem with our service, I'll fix it... I'm proud of the food we put out, and always will be."

Or maybe there's the other theory that instead of our hero Guy being used by the NYT's food critic to establish his name (as if) Guy himself used the browbeating of a NYT's food critic to resurrect himself?

2010 'Счастье мое' Directed by Sergei Loznitsa
A routine run for a truck driver turns into a nightmare he can't escape in this psychological drama from filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa. Georgy (Viktor Nemets) is driving a load of freight into Russia when, after an unpleasant encounter with the police at a border crossing, he finds himself giving a lift to a strange old man (Vladimir Golovin) with disturbing stories about this younger days in the Army. After next picking up a young woman (Olga Shuvalova) who works as a prostitute and is wary of the territory, Georgy finds himself lost, and despite asking some homeless men for help, he's less sure than he was before of how to make his way back where he belongs. As brutal images of violence and alienation cross the screen, Georgy's odyssey becomes darker and more desperate until it reaches an unexpected conclusion.
I was a little mixed on this movie.
I got confused by the appearance shift of the main character around the mid-way point and lost confidence that I understood exactly what was going on.
Some of the scenes started too early and ran too long. It's like if you have a scene of a guy walking down a hallway. In a tightly-paced movie, the scene starts with the guy in the hallway, we see him take a couple steps, and we're on to the next scene. In this movie, we see the hallway for a few moments, then hear the guy approaching, then see him walk the length of it. After he's gone, we hear him trail off, there's silence…

Part of my 30 Films from Around the World in the month of May Challenge
Country #8 - Ukraine
My Joy is a dreary and ambiguous journey that allows the viewer to try and piece together the fragments of information we receive. The film forgoes traditional narrative and rather presents with various moments throughout time; traveling between past and present, all which add up to an almost sinister ending.
Though I was completely engaged throughout; the nihilistic film left me feeling rather depressed at the end.
It's like a punch in the stomach.
"As beautiful as a bruise" describes it perfectly.
I want to watch this again with Vladimir Putin.
A modern socio-political allegory where weariness overtakes contemplation, and whose immersive, palpable textures become absorbing through their sheer, visceral disgust. Loznitsa's canvas is at times static and sparse, while dank and squalid in others; in both cases, his screenplay is darkly comic and biting. Indeed, in probing the state of the former Eastern bloc, actions speak not so much louder than words as they simply say it all. In modern Russia, shit steps on you - My Joy shows that Stalin's collectivised utopia is worth roughly that.
Wow - this is a gut punch of a look at modern Russia filtered thru a demented Kafka world view. It will stay with you for months. Sergei Loznitsa is one to watch.
First half worked for me althought it was never amazing but the second half is just painful and I didn't get it at all. The themes seem obvious after reading reviews but the film never makes them interesting.
It's certainly a revealing glimpse, but this film is too loose in terms of structure. One wonders what Robert Altman or even Hou Hsaio-Hsien would think upon seeing this.
My joy, my foot! It was actually the classic miserable day full of annoying circumstances, one after the other, for our main character the ukrainian truck driver Georgy. In the meanwhile, I was admiring the long shots of the director and what he put in them in terms of people doing things in the background or sinc-ing their movements to join in in the foreground, and I was going to get absorbed by the second half of the movie, when suddenly an abrupt flashback made everything so confused that I was wondering whether the director could have cared about Georgy anymore. Indeed further on, the spectator is required to pay good attention to realize he is back at the centre…
watched for my contemporary russia class.
this film's narrative eluded me. it appears to be placing the blame for modern-day ukraine's depicted moral bankruptcy and overall cultural nihilism at the feet of soviet bureaucracy. the modern-day government corruption and inefficiency are clear successors to the soviety cruelty depicted in the flashback sequences. it even goes so far as to suggest a russia overran by nazi germany would be preferable. but the half-anthology half-narrative format of the film is confusing beyond belief.
that said, the cinematographic skill on display here is incredible. long, busy shots populate the film, and its frequent decontextualization via close zooms and cameras that tailgate the characters is breathtaking.
perhaps worth another watch so i can figure out what exactly went on in the last half of the film.
A slow moving, rigorously shot, beautifully composed, descent into hell and history.

SIR GRAHAM Henry will mentor Argentina's top coaches as part of an initiative between the New Zealand and Argentina (UAR) rugby unions.
The Rugby World Cup-winning mentor will have a part-time consultancy role that will see him coach Argentina's age-grade and national coaches.
"My role will be offering the UAR's high performance team and its coaches an insight into what is required to create a national programme that will ultimately lead to a more competitive international team," says Henry.
New Zealand Rugby Union high performance manager Don Tricker says Henry has the union's blessing
"And it's a real positive not only for him but for Argentinian rugby as well. He will be mentoring their age-grade and national coaches.
"It's in everyone's interest for Argentinian rugby to develop as they prepare to enter this year's new Rugby Championship (alongside New Zealand, Australia and South Africa). Their inclusion in the new competition is exciting for everyone and will be a historic moment in the history of Southern Hemisphere rugby."

Season Finale Concert – 35th Anniversary Season
It's spring, and we are quickly heading toward Easter, so it's time for us to be putting the wraps on another Lakeland Concert Band season. But, before we take a summer break, we have our season finale concert to present to you.
Henry Fillmore wrote some of the most recognizable marches we have in our repertoire, and "His Honor" certainly falls into this category. After this, we move into the classics, with the wonderfully scored "Russian Easter Overture" by Rimsky-Korsakov. Next, you will get goose bumps when a very talented local musical theater performer and teacher, Rebecca Renfroe, sings "Amazing Grace" to our beautifully arranged band accompaniment. Andrew Lloyd Webber steals the stage with the next selection, "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina", taken from the Broadway play, Evita. Closing out the first half of our performance is a medley, simply entitled, "Mancini", featuring hits such as "The Pink Panther", "Moon River", "Baby Elephant Walk", "Dreamsville", and finishing with the intriguing sounds of "Peter Gunn".
Henry Fillmore begins our second half of music with his march "Mt Healthy", which was written under the humorous pseudonym of 'Gus Beans'. The moving "Highlights from 'Les Miserables'" takes us back into 19th century France and the fight for freedom and forgiveness portrayed in this music selection. George and Ira Gershwin are on hand to entertain us next, with our featured vocalist, Rebecca Renfroe, singing their composition, "But Not For Me". Off we go to mystery and intrigue with 5 different movie hits from the medley, "Bond, James Bond", featuring the "James Bond Theme", "Goldfinger", "Nobody Does It Better", "Skyfall", and "Live and Let Die". Finally, we play a reminder of the current Easter season with the favorite, "Easter Parade", and finish the season with our signature march, "The Stars and Stripes Forever".
Enjoy this "season finale" concert and know that we enjoy entertaining you. Thanks for all of your support, and we will look forward to another great set of concerts next season.

Today is March 2nd and to many it's just another day. To NFL fans, it's 3 days before the start of free agency and that means rumors, assumptions, and one helluva late night on Thursday. How many actually stay up for the start of the NFL new league year? A lot.
Free agency will kick off at 00:01 Friday morning and with it will come a flurry of talks, chats, and "has anyone heard anything yet?" forum posts. It's a yearly ritual that is one of the reasons the NFL is the America's real national past time. Does any other league draw so much interest in a simple off-season? No. Not even remotely close. And that is why each year Miami Dolphins fans salivate in the days leading up to the start of that "new year".
This year however, the Dolphins are not likely to go hog wild and spend despite the fact that there are no cap ramifications because of no salary cap. In fact, it could be a little of the opposite…salary purge instead.
According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, Stephen Ross informed him that the Phins will not be listed at the top of the highest spending teams. Last year Miami was number 2. He said they wouldn't be at the bottom either which means they will try and fall somewhere in between.
"Money doesn't buy victories" Ross said.
So what does this mean for Dolphins fans? Well, it likely means that the Phins won't throw 30 plus million at LB Karlos Dansby. It means they won't likely toss a 2nd round pick plus a new contract to get oft injured WR Anquan Boldin, and they likely won't pursue soon to be free agent Antrelle Rolle with such a large sum of guaranteed money paid out last year to current safety Gibril Wilson.
They will save some dough by the impending release of Joey Porter and could cut a few others if need be but in reality the Dolphins are in pretty good shape with their free agents and are not likely to lose much more than special team standout Nate Jones.
The Phins also could move Ronnie Brown, if you believe the Brown to Detroit rumors that seem to be flying all over the place…I don't buy into them personally. Not the one involving Calvin Johnson and not the ones involving a duo of LB's either. Ronnie Brown will be a Dolphin this year.
So that brings us to who the Dolphins may look at in free agency and unfortunately, this years crop isn't all that impressive. With a slew of would be free agents saddled with their current clubs because of no CBA, the Dolphins will look at 2nd and 3rd tier players to fill some holes and address the rest in the draft.
I don't think the team will land a stellar starter at any spot to be quite honest. Why? Well not necessarily because of the desire not to spend but the fact that GM Jeff Ireland and Bill Parcells won't over-spend.
Last year the rumor heading into free agency centered around LB Bart Scott and Center Jason Brown. The Dolphins got neither. This year it seems to revolve around the members of the Arizona Cardinals. Two will be free agents and the other could be had in a trade. It all adds up to very little however in the grand scheme of things.
Midnight will come, midnight will go, and names like Dansby and Peppers will be mentioned and may even be signed by 1:00 AM but not by the Dolphins. Who the Dolphins will target is a mystery but you bet they won't break the bank. Even when salary cap doesn't matter.
The Miami Dolphins are willing to spend, but they aren't willing to over spend. Right or wrong, that feel should at least keep Miami out of the upper tier range of free agents.

As I have said on this site before, I have lived my whole life in Jets territory. For the most part it has never been that big of a deal for me. Jets fans are generally a sad group of people, devoid of any type of happiness, but filled to the brim with baseless over confidence. I know this because I am friends with tons of Jets fans. I lived with a Jet fan for two years in college… it was tough to watch his agony. And while Dolphins fans have suffered often in recent years as well, at least we have our dignity.
It is my close personal relationships with so many die hard J-E-T-S, Jets fans that makes this week so important to me. Every year, regardless of the Dolphins record there are two games I mark on my calender unlike all the rest. One of those weeks is finally here. Both teams are 1-1 heading into their week 3 clash at Sunlife Stadium and on paper they seem pretty evenly matched, but the New York media is predicting a beat down. I am here to tell you not only do the Dolphins stand a chance against the Jets; they may just have the potential to spoil the entire Jets season if they can win tomorrow.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that the Jets are the slight favorite this Sunday, but the way NFL analysts talk about the Dolphins leads me to question whether any of them have even watched a Dolphins game. Don't get me wrong, the Dolphins are not a Superbowl contender by any stretch of the imagination, but they are capable of keeping games competitive against good teams. The Dolphins D has been stout against the run and they have been limiting big plays. The offense has been running with authority and Ryan Tannehill hasn't looked all that awful outside of the second quarter in against the Texans.
Tomorrow's game is a very winnable one for the Dolphins. Tony Sparano's offense is a ground and pound and that plays right into the Dolphins strength. If Miami can force the Jets to the air they can pressure Mark Sanchez and force mistakes. The Jets offensive line won't be capable of limiting pass rushers like Cam Wake and Randy Starks.
As long as Ryan Tannehill can make smart throws and limit turn overs we should see a close game that can turn in the Dolphins favor. If rookie Jonathan Martin and the rest of the O-line can play like they did last week there should be plenty of running lanes for Reggie Bush to take advantage up.
If the Dolphins can win this week it could change the seasons for both teams. The Jets leave Miami and head home to face the San Francisco 49ers and then the Texans, a loss to the Dolphins would make a 1-4 start a real possibility for Gang Green. The Dolphins have three winnable games against Arizona, Cincinnati, and St. Luis, so a win could propel them to a huge start.
While most of the media want to assume this is going to be a Jets blow out there is a reason the games get played. This match up isn't too bad for the Phins and a victory would be very sweet for south beach. I am predicting a 21-14 victory for the Dolphins that send the Jets on a tail spin for the rest of the season. Let me know your predictions in the comment box. Phins up.

LONDON Banks and trading companies have been ordered by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to preserve documents ahead of a possible investigation into warehousing activities, sources said.
The ownership of London Metal Exchange-listed warehouse companies by such banks as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co., as well as large trading houses like Glencore Xstrata Plc, has drawn criticism from physical market participants after large incentives offered to suppliers to move metal into warehouses sent physical premiums to record highs over the past year.
European duty-paid aluminum premiums peaked at $290 to $305 per tonne in January, while the waiting times for deliveries from Metro International Trade Services LLCs warehouses in Detroit, owned by Goldman Sachs, and Glencore-owned Pacorini Srls Vlissingen location in the Netherlands blew out to more than a year.
"We and others have talked to regulators like the CFTC and the (Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom), and its become clear that there is a gap in regulation over warehousing and some aspects of the commodities business," one aluminum consumer said. "As long as there is a lack of regulation, and as long as banks continue to operate, we will continue to see anomalous behavior."
Regulators are now preparing for a thorough review the warehousing business and the role that banks and trading companies play within it, and sources said this could lead to action being taken to limit the role of banks and trading companies within the warehousing industry.
"If implemented, this will address the queue problem," one trader said.
It comes as a U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs subcommittee focused on financial institutions and consumer protection prepares to meet in open session July 23 for a hearing aimed at examining financial holding companies and whether banks should control power plants, warehouses and oil refineries" (amm.com, July 17).
On July 1, the LME proposed new rules concerning warehouse delivery rates in an attempt to alleviate the huge delivery queues that have developed at certain warehouses. The exchange has suggested linking daily stock inflows and outflows to steadily reduce the queues at locations where they have grown beyond 100 days.
Aluminum premiums fell as warehouse incentives dipped following the announcement.

Nicotine: The link between cigarette smoking and kidney disease progression?January 30, 2007
The mechanisms by which cigarette smoke may accelerate some types of chronic kidney disease are currently unknown. A new study, being published by the American Physiological Society (http://www.the-aps.org/), demonstrates for the first time that human mesangial cells (MC) - cells in the blood vessels of the kidneys - are endowed with nicotinic receptors (nAChRs) á4, á5, á7, â2, â3, â4 and â5 (cells that interact with the nicotine in tobacco) and may play an active role in the development of certain kidney diseases.
The Study
The study, "Nicotine: The Link Between Cigarette Smoking and the Progression of Renal Injury?," was conducted by Edgar A. Jaimes, MD, Run-Xia Tian, MD, and Leopoldo Raij, MD, all of the Miller School of Medicine, University of Miami, Miami, FL. It appears in the Articles in Press Section of the American Journal of Physiology - Heart and Circulatory Physiology (http://ajpheart.physiology.org/), one of 11-peer reviewed journals published by the APS.
Overview of Methodology
Human mesangial cells were grown in CSC-Complete media, supplemented with 10 percent fetal calf serum. Cells were passed by trypsinization when confluent and used between the third and ninth passages. 3H-thymidine was used as an index of cell proliferation and cells were fasted for 72 hours in Maintenance Media and stimulated for 24 hours with nicotine (10-10 M to 10-7 M) or platelet derived growth factor.
Western blots were performed after the cells fasted and had been stimulated for 24 hours with nicotine (10-7). Cell homogenates were washed and thereafter centrifuged for 30 minutes. Blots were incubated overnight with one of nine antibodies, which included mouse anti-á2-nAChR mAb's, anti-á3-nAChR mAb's, or anti-á4-nAChR mAb's. Fibronectin mRNA expression was determined by real time PCR and protein expression was measured by western blot. Flow cytometry measurement was generated for reactive oxygen species.
Data were expressed as mean ± SEM. For statistical comparisons involving two groups, an unpaired Student t test was used. For comparisons involving more than two groups, ANOVA was used. Significance was considered when P<0.05.
Highlights of Results
Highlights of the results include the following:
- Human mesangial cells express nAChRs: The researchers were able to detect strong expression of several nAChRs subunits in the cultured human mesangial cells. They detected the presence of the nAChRs subunits á4, á5, á7, â2, â3, and â4 in these cells. They were not, however, able to detect significant expression of the á2 or á3 nAChR subunits.
- Nicotine increases mesangial cell proliferation via nAChRs activation: Nicotine stimulation of the cells resulted in a dose dependent increase in mesangial cell proliferation. One concentration found in the plasma of active smokers found that nicotine-induced MC proliferation was 1,328 for controls vs. 2,761 for nicotine.
- Nicotine increases fibronectin production: To determine whether transcriptional mechanisms were involved, the researchers measured the gene expression of fibronectin using real time exposure to nicotine. They found that nicotine induced a five-fold increase in fibronectin mRNA expression.
Summary and Conclusions
These studies are believed to be the first of their kind to:
(1) identify the presence of functionally active nAChRs in human mesangial cells; and
(2) demonstrate that nicotine, at concentrations similar to those found in the plasma of smokers, promotes mesangial cell proliferation and spurs on critical molecules that are involved in the extracellular matrix production.
Recent epidemiologic studies demonstrate that cigarette smoking increases the risk for progressive chronic kidney disease, but the role of smoking in primary renal diseases is less known. The results of this research, coupled with earlier findings, reveal previously unrecognized mechanisms showing nicotine - a component of cigarette smoke - as an agent that may accelerate and promote the progression of chronic kidney disease.

Beijing Essential Full-Day Tour including Great Wall at Badaling, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square

Our tour guide was excellent. On time to pick us up at the hotel and was very knowledgable and very pleasant.
Jacky Lee my tour guide was absolutely incredible - I ended up having the tour completely to myself and it was one of the best days of my life. Thank you for finding such great people to lead the tour!!
Great tour of the city, the guide was great and the program flexible. Would thoroughly recommend the tour
Delete the jewery stop and spend more time a the greatwall
excellent! michael the tour really did a great job! kudos!
This tour is a great value - jam packed day full of activities but we never felt rushed and we got to see everything we wanted to... plus some! Really liked that all entrance fees were included and our "provided lunch" was delicious! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is on a budget and/or has limited time in Beijing!
Well orchestrated Jackie was brilliant, personable, considerate and knowledgable. Perfect tour if you only have one day to spare. Enjoyed every minute
What a great way to see Beijing in a day! Mr. Jackie Lee is an amazing tour guide, with a wealth of knowledge and a good sense of humor. We saw so much of Chinese culture and the main sights that I felt that the one day I spent in Beijing was completely sufficient. I'd highly recommend this tour, if you have limited time, or just want to be very efficient with your time.
We had Mike on our tour and it was fantastic. Remember, you will be stopping by a Jade Factory, Silk Museum, and Tea House, so if you aren't into all that then this is not your tour. All three will try to sell you expensive products afterwards, however, the tea is pretty neat and seems to be worth the money. The food at the Jade Factory is nothing special, so you may want to bring a snack. Mike is really knowledgeable, speaks great English, and we all had a blast. The Great Wall is absolutely incredible, but be ready for a serious hike. Finally, the tour involves driving out of the city which will certainly lead to sitting in traffic. Be prepped for an all day event.
Great tour, very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend this tour!!!
The tour was evenly paced and thoroughly enjoyable. Our guide Jason was very knowledgable and spoke excellent English. I was recommend this to anyone who had limited time in Beijing but wanted to do the essential must see sites.
Very full day but if you only have 1 free day, this is the tour to take! Also included a visit to a tea house, silk factory, and jade gallery. Very knowledgeable local guide, highly recommend!
This tour was amazing. Try to go on a weekday to avoid the crowds at Badaling. Ask for an early start to be the first in the Forbidden City.
Fantastic tour when you do not have much time in Beijing. Tour guide Michael was very informative.
My tour guide for this tour was Mr. Li. Mr. Li was really good. He did such a great job telling us about the places we visited and stories about Chinese history. I highly recommend him and this tour.

I was thinking….
One thing I've had a tendency to do, is fall in to the trap of thinking and believing that where one comes from determines how successful they will be; more sharply, I'm referring to one's educational pedigree. I attend Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in Rochester, NY. This is an amazing privilege, and an absolutely priceless experience. However, I've, of late, considered my ongoing academic experience here to be inferior to my peers at certain "elite" institutions. I'm of no illusion that you do not know the institutions to which I allude: the Harvards, Princetons, Stanfords, Cornells and MITs of the world. The "elite" institutions. No doubt, they've earned this distinction owing to their rich tradition of rigorous academics and exhaustive research. The talent these schools have turned out, have contributed inummerable gifts to the world in all areas of expertise. I suppose the respect those schools have earned through the years looms as a beau ideal in the academy - and perhaps my feelings and thoughts, which have held my school and experience in low regard, stem from a recognition of said respect for the tradition of these institutions.
But, upon further rumination, I arrive at a conclusion that while the "elite" colleges cannot be denied their very distinct and deserved place among the highly venerated schools of the world, I'm obliged to give a nod, as well, to the many individuals who never attended an "elite" institution, or any post-secondary institute. What must we say of those individuals, from all walks of life, who have made a great impact on the world, and who have defied the odds, all while NOT attending any of the elite schools? That very fact instructs me that one's background - while formative and very important - doesn't necessarily determine one's future successes. No matter what college I attend, it's about what I do there. It's about my work ethic and my desire to learn; my incessant thirst for knowledge and wisdom. If I posses these, then I can perform well and be deserving of all the success I encounter.
The corrupted notion that I've battled, occasionally, implies downplaying my own schooling because of my own comparison of it with other colleges. However, in doing so I miss all that is great and wonderful about RIT; and I eschew my ability to grow wiser and value the unique culture here at RIT. RIT is not a bad school by any means. It may not be the subject of the renown the "elite" colleges are accustomed to, but it is a respected institution among those who know the school. And furthermore, college is about what one makes of it, not the name. The name of your school can take you but so far. Nonetheless, one day, with this knowledge, I'll be exceedingly proud to say that I am a graduate of THE ROCHESTER INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. And nothing in that suggests my education is inferior in anyway because I will join the ranks of some of the great leaders in engineering, technology, and innovation who have honed their talents at this place of higher education.

Logic is argumentative, aggressive upon the mind, splits the world into right and wrong, us and them. Love is generative, compassionate, embracing all creation. Logic pays attention to what is being said. Love pays attention to how things are said. Logic leads to debate. Love leads to communion. Practice love to be closer to God.
should white people use the N word?
What's the hallmark of our talk?
The mainstay of our thoughts it seems?
Negativity or Niggativity?
By d- e- f negativity is generally taken to mean something opposite postive.
We can agree? It's a tendency to shun sentiments of good; of warm sensation; to be skeptical of purported "plusness"; to subtract from - devalue in decibel level
But beyond that arena of orbital pessimism does there rest rule and abide this itching grizzly monster - what about niggativity?
What's that right? Think about it. Niggativity is that state of mind where one posits that they cannot believe, they cannot faith, cannot assert
It is that form of oppression pressed into one's mind - left there - deposited as a gross cancer to metastasize - accrue interest, insured by the human servile registry aka - self- doubt
It is being told u cannot and loving that u can't
It is striving for nothing
Searching for what u know isn't here - but all the while believing it is
Sounds like insanity, but it's not, cuz niggativity pervades even the most anti-niggative mind
That's y we're taught we shouldnt use the word - cuz for years - those who preceded us were insulted and torn down with it
So using that specific string of characters then makes us wrong - makes us proprietors of niggativity
But I contend that if niggativity was this acerbic, divisive animal once perpetuated to keep the inferior down - but no longer does - should addressing my mans as nigga be taken so sharply as a disrespectful, indignant occurence?
Out of respect or reverance should I shy away from the string of niggativity or mark a change in my thinking and in my view of the string of characters - nigga?
Does it make sense to forget those letters in that sequence because they r forever tethered to the bitter evil of racial oppression
Well our ancestors died so that we can have the freedoms we have right? That I can speak freely; pursue life and liberty ?
But is it not my liberty to speak a word tied to niggativity?
Words are, and then they aren't. if it could be tied to niggativity can it not be freed as well? Maybe that's what our ancestors would want.. hmm? For us to fight to relieve the animal niggativity of its taboo hold on our collective conscience; to wrest the power of that word away from the beast? And when used so freely as a term of endearment; of love in a way, can it not be done?
Anything's possible, if u want it to be…
Or am I deluded? Am I really trapped in niggativity too? For even suggesting that nigga could be freed from niggativity? Some could and would make the argument that I am - but if so, I'd rather be on the inside fighting with all I've got to change it than to be on the outside coexisting and fearing it. Or is it that it just is a peanut butter and jelly situation? Like love and marriage - u can't have one without the other? Maybe.
thing is: by constitutional imperative, the house has the power of originating revenue bills - the GOP controls that chamber and therefore has an auspicious position in these debt talks I think. Of course the Senate must assent to any bill the House wants to move through congress, but somehow I feel the House has a certain benefit which strengthens its stake in these debates. Their entrenched, unbending posture in these talks seems emboldened by that fact. I could be wrong though…
If you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it,
to work day and night for it,
to give up your time, your peace and your sleep for it…
if all that you dream and scheme is about it,
and life seems useless and worthless without it…
if you gladly sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it
and lose all your terror of the opposition for it…
if you simply go after that thing you want
with all of your capacity, strength and sagacity,
faith, hope and confidence and stern pertinacity…

if dogged and grim you beseech and beset it,
with the help of God, you will get it!
I own an iPhone 4 - it's my smartphone of choice. It's one of the most advanced, minimalist-y designed technological devices ever conceived. It should follow, then, that I would want to protect such a precious investment; well … yes and no. To be sure, within two days of purchasing the phone, I made sure it was snug inside of a nice CaseCrown case to protect it - well the back at least - because of course anyone who is remotely familiar with the iPhone knows that one side of the phone is a screen. In order to protect that oh-so-delicate "retina display," I bought a screen-protector. And so, all was well. My amazing, beautiful phone had all of the armor is needs to keep up with the occasional blubber-brained owner I can be.
Now that's all well and good - thing is, after a while, the phone wasn't so "beautiful." It's almost the equivalent of a football player preparing to take to the gridiron, you know? They suit up for battle - cuz it's a physical game; and, you know, they should take those precautionary measures to mitigate the risks incident to such a contact-heavy sport. That was my iPhone 4. But then I began to notice a disturbing thing - my phone's sleek profile was hidden, and it looked so underwhelming - not quite the visual appeal I think Mr. Jobs et al were aiming for when they released the product.
I began to wax indignant at a self-imposed restriction in the name of "responsible consumerism;"of "investment-securing prudence." Eh, well that makes so much logical sense. It does. And if you protect your gadgets - great! But me - nah. I can't anymore. After peeling back that cloudy, brilliance-drowning screen protector, I understood just how much I had degraded my user experience. The screen was sublime - again! And to think because I was scared to have a single blemish on my screen, I was depriving myself of that eye-popping display!! No, I can no longer do it. And likewise for the case on the chassis of the phone: the design, if I might opine here - and I will - is genius: simple, neat, with a fresh, clean finish. I love that. It's not only the best phone I've owned specwise, but its external shell is no doubt the most aesthetically pleasing.
And here's my thing: protecting my phone with a case, or bumper, and screen protector, doesn't protect my phone from my own fallibility, or chance. Any random event can lead my phone to its unhappy demise; regardless of how much I protect the device. And I'm human! I'll drop it. Yeah! So what! Trust me it will happen - much more than you'd like. And on top of that I know I'll be upgrading at some point right? How long do I really want to be an iPhone 4 owner when I know 5 & 6 are coming soon? And what about 'planned obsolescence' folks! Ever heard of it? Companies never produce products that last forever - or for any reasonable amount of time in accord with the consumer's standards for that matter - or so it seems! To top it off, I do pay for insurance every month just in case that apocalyptic slip of the hand precipitates my iPhone to its decommissioned state. But even with all that, the iPhone 4 is a pretty durable phone. According to the folks at Loop21* - as reported this morning in their news roundup: "A skydiver dropped his iPhone4 from 13,000 feet in the air and it was still functional when he found it." It's no egg shell. Apple for the win again!
In the end, it is a matter of personal opinion. For me, I can't do it any longer - protect my phone that is. It was cool for a while - but I realize it's just a finite product. It'll undoubtedly fail due to my own mishandling, or some other unfortunality. Oh well. That's life. I mean when I had my old flip phones I didn't protect them in Optimus Prime's flight tech lol - so why start now? You do you. Imma do me. But that's my case against cell phone protection. Peace.

original content binge (of sorts) coming soon! stay tuned!
As it's commonly used, "PC" is a deliberately imprecise expression (just try finding or writing a terse, precise definition) because its objective isn't to communicate a substantive idea, but simply to sneer and snivel about the linguistic and cultural burdens of treating all people with the respect and sensitivity with which they wish to be treated. Thus, the Herculean effort required to call me "Asian American" rather than "chink" is seen as a concession to "the PC police", an unsettling infringement on the free-wheeling conversation of, I suppose, "non-chinks". Having to refer to black folks as "African Americans" rather than various historically-prevalent epithets surely strikes some red-blooded blue-balled white-men as a form of cultural oppression. Having to refer to "women" rather than "bitches" lays a violent buzzkill on the bar-room banter of men preoccupied with beating on their chests and off other body parts.
Obviously these examples fall on the simplistic side of things, but I think they illustrate the shaky philosophical foundation of today's usage. Underlying every complaint of "PC" is the absurd notion that members of dominant mainstream society have been victimized by an arbitrarily hypersensitive prohibition against linguistic and cultural constructions that are considered historical manifestations of bigotry. It's no coincidence that "PC"-snivelers are for the most part white men who are essentially saying, "Who the hell do these marginalized groups think they are to tell me how I should or shouldn't portray them? I'm not going to say 'mentally challenged' when it's my right to say 'retard', goshdarnit there's only so much abuse I'll take!"
In this context, the conceit that "political correctness" constitutes a violation of free speech is particularly zany; as though society's marginalized groups wield oppressive power over the dominant mainstream. Actually, as far as I'm concerned you're free to call me "chink" and I'm free to call you "moronic racist loser" (and more if necessary, but I'll leave that aside for now in the interest of false civility). Free speech is the straw man of choice for intellectual bums of all stripes too fragile and vacuous for critical engagement. Calling someone who says or does bigoted things "a bigot" isn't censorious, it's descriptively accurate, like calling a bad movie "a bad movie", even if the bigot didn't intend to come off as bigoted and the movie didn't intend to come off as bad.

i am going to marry that last paragraph
(via caecilius)
amazing, instructive, sublime prose
too many of my African-American brothers & sisters have internalized a vicious lie: that to forgive means they are feeble & defeated - this internalization is such a bane to the existence of our culture - it's primacy as such enables the continued infighting which kills…so many of our own people… because somewhere we accepted a lie- an aberration - that forgiving is self-betrayal - such a tragic idea
Dismissing minutiae, simply because there are minutiae, can potentially open one up to cataclysmic consequences. The little details matter.
One of my fondest memories of my youth actually takes me back to July 4, 1997ish. My Dad stayed up with me all night and we talked about the country. We talked about freedom and just chilled far past the fireworks, which were replaying on TV; on WETA I believe. I interrogated him about July 4th and freedom and security and he explained to me - as best someone can explain freedom and the 4th to a 6 or 7 year old - his right, and mine by extension, to defend and protect our family, our lives, our property, our freedom and the like. It is one of the best memories I have of us because we spent so much time together - just the two of us - and here I was, being instructed about a little part of the world by my father; a man who had been through so much at that time; a veteran of our military. It was just a beautiful moment in time - which occurred today 14/15 years ago. Time flies.
Happy 4th
Love you Dad.

As Paramore embark on the most successful year of their career, there seems to be no limit as to what they can accomplish. The band's last 2007 album RIOT! has sold over two million copies worldwide, the group was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2008 for "Best New Artist" and even their live CD/DVD The Final Riot! has gone gold. However while these statistics are impressive, record sales have never been the driving force behind Paramore and that fact has never been as evident as it is on the group's highly anticipated third full-length brand new eyes. In fact, as excited as this group of young adults from Franklin, Tennessee are to have had the opportunity to tour with their heroes like Jimmy Eat World and No Doubt over the past few years, they seem even more ecstatic to share brand new eyes with the world. "I hope that every record is a progression for us, but this one is definitely a huge leap from RIOT!," the band's front woman Hayley Williams explains. "I just can't wait to get back on the road and start playing these new songs live."
Anyone who has seen the band on the road already knows Paramore have an incendiary live show; however with brand new eyes, the group has proved they're also able to juxtapose all of their indie-minded influences into a seamless collection of songs that embrace the future without abandoning the band's past. Additionally, the process of making brand new eyes seems to have taught the group--Hayley, guitarists Josh Farro and Taylor York, drummer Zac Farro and bassist Jeremy Davis--countless lessons about who they are both inside and outside of Paramore. "We've been through a ton of stressful, pressure-filled situations since RIOT! came out and I feel like I'm a completely new person," Hayley explains, adding that brand new eyes ended up being the perfect cathartic outlet for the band's creativity and, yes, frustration. "I think making the record was part of the healing process," Hayley elaborates. "It was good for me both as a person and as an artist."
Considering the fact that RIOT! went gold in Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.K. and the band cracked the top five on the radio charts in the U.K. Australia, Mexico, Brazil, France, Germany and Southeast Asia, this global success story had a lot to live up to with brand new eyes. Co-produced by the band and Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance), who Paramore also worked with on the track "Decode" from the double-platinum soundtrack for the movie Twilight, the album is also the first disc to officially feature new guitarist Taylor York -although York has been a writing partner and frequent touring member since the band's inception back in 2004. "It's really nice having Taylor there because he's the only other guitarist that I trust with our songs," Josh explains. "It's so exciting to be a five-piece again," Hayley concurs, "that's what we were originally intended to be, so I think the writing process was a lot more rewarding having him there." While Josh and Hayley once again made up the main songwriting team on brand new eyes, Hayley is also quick to stress that this album is the most collaborative creation of the band's career, a fact that is evident in the disc's sonic diversity.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Teachers keep students actively engaged. Parents are consistently kept aware of students progress and suggestions are give to parents to help at home for students who may be having a bit of a challenge in any given area.
My education was not in US so I cannot compare. I do like many aspects of this school. They stress a lot on Discipline. School has the Cambridge program for talented kids and even in regular classes they use many methods to keep kids at all levels challenged. Minor cons: uniform vendor $2 - jean days; blue pop day
Governors Charter as been a wonderful school experience for the whole family. We've enjoyed the mandatory volunteer time and see it as an opportunity to stay involved. Our daughter is involved in extracurriculars the school offers as well as the Cambridge gifted and talented program.
This school is doing well and my son is reading well above his 1st grade level (2nd/3rd grade level) Others are surprised. He had a great kindergarten teacher and now his first grade teacher is doing a great job. I can only speak for kindergarten and first grade. As for pick up no one can just pick them up. I forgot my tag and had to go to the front office to show ID to pick him up.
I dont normally participate in these reviews but after reading a few of the ones before me , I now feel the need to defend GCA and Dr. Peters (the princiPAL). I LOVE this school and am so happy that I enrolled my child there. The teachers that my child has had are WONDERFUL! They are dedicated, organized and are phenominal with communication. The building itself is state of the art and the staff is amazing. Dr. Peters is extremely involved. I have seen her paricipate in so many ways and it amazes me that she is as humble as she is. The statement that "anyone that knows your childs name and grade" can pick your child up is absurd. Kids are brought out to and placed into your car (often by Dr. Peters herself) after showing your pick up tag to a staff member. Volunteering is big at GCA and should come as no surprise to anyone since they have talked about the importance of this since before the school was even built. I am okay with my kids knowing that I am participating in their education because it is the most important thing we can do for our children. I am so thankful I made the decision to enroll my kids there and applaud the staff of GCA for all their hard work.
I had both my children there last year and we decided to move on. The classrooms were often loud and chaotic. The administration was so busy trying to keep order that they never got to educating the children. My children complained about the other kids as well. This was not something that I expected. Not sure where they are headed, but we went back to our local school and they are much happier.
Principle - Law/Rule which must be followed; standard Principal - Person of most importance; Chief; Leader We've personally not been at the school long enough to give an accuarte rating, but I do find it is a work in progress with the expectations of the parents (myself included) and what can feasibly be accomplished by the staff of GCA. I do find it odd both of the last negative reviewers used the incorrect version of principal/principle.
Be wary! This school does not care about parents. I pulled my children from there. The kids were horrible. But it was the principle that did the worst job. I went to the principle and specifically complained about an employee - she made a child cry and told him she hoped he got hit when he got home! I wasn't the only one to complain. The principle took my complaint so seriously she made the employee a teacher this year. GLAD WE ARE GONE.
There are a lot of problems with the school, starting with the behavior of the students (language so foul it makes one nostalgic for a simple four letter word - seriously, it was that bad). Some teachers were responsive, others terrible. The principle was visible, but it's clear this is one of her first jobs in that position. She appears to listen, but then fails to take action. Finally, when we started there, we were promised a future "A" school. When test scores showed that GCA was mediocre-poor, I was told that it was good 'considering what we started with.' Well, GCA tests the same as the mediocre school that we started with so, what's the point of a charter school that can't do better than public school? The claim is a cop out. GCA students come from the same areas as our local public school.
(continued) Another thing I don't understand is that the school requires volunteer hours from parents for each child attending but I don't understand how that is even possible if I am trying to pay for all of the many pictures/fundraisers/afterschool activities that are not free or reduced at this school. On top of all of that they do not have a school bus and I paid $5 for a parent pick up card that I was supposed to be able to use to swipe when I come to pick up my child but I never heard anything else about it. (that is five bucks I will not see nor get a refund for) It is really strange that anyone can pick up kids from the parent pick up and there is no sign out sheet or record for anyone to know who you are. Any random person can come and pick up a kid as long as they know their name and grade. The school lacks organization and coordination in a major way! I found a better school around the corner and the kids were way more well behaved during a random tour. I don't think the school is completely lost but they need to improve.
My two oldest children (1st & 2nd grade) attended this school from the very beginning when it first opened and at first I was very impressed for a number of reasons. The school design is great. I love the glass walls so the classrooms are very open. I was impressed but that is no longer now that they have been there for the whole year. I ended up spending 300 dollars on both of my kids for their uniforms at the beginning of the year and what is even more upsetting is that they are cheaper at other locations besides where they require all of the parents to buy them from. They have been asking for money all year for EVERYTHING! They never had a fieldtrip (1st or 2nd grade). But besides that, my kids complain about bullying all the time. I don't think that the teacher to student ratio is working. My kids have been to Ruediger and never had a problem with it before. A huge boy hit my daughter and all the school could say is that they would "investigate the incident" given the fact that he does it all the time. I think that the school is WAY over their heads. My kids say that the kids there are unfriendly and the teachers are too busy to do anything.
So far so good for a new school. I like the fact they recognize the good students, so rather than letting them sit in class and do nothing, they pull some of them to give them some additional help in the areas needed. I would highly recommend the school. I was a little skeptical being a new school as many are but I think as the word gets out it will be a school to go to.
We love the school! Very engaging teachers and great technology resources. It's nice to have such a great choice close by. The uniforms provide a focus on education. The principal is superb!

The majority leader didn't give a timetable for a House Republican plan.
Politico: Cantor: 'Obamacare Is On Borrowed Time'
The end of the Affordable Care Act is within sight, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor says, outlining Republican plans to propose health care legislation later this year. "In my opinion, Obamacare is on borrowed time," the Virginia Republican said in an interview for Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation." "As we begin to see the further growth in terms of implementation of this law, you will see, I believe, more and more people negatively affected. And there's going to be a real problem, a real need for an alternative" (Epstein, 2/2).
The Wall Street Journal: Cantor: Expect 2014 Vote On A GOP Health Law
After spending much of last year bashing President Barack Obama over the stumbles of his health-care overhaul, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) told House Republicans Thursday to expect a vote this year on a GOP alternative to the 2010 Affordable Care Act. The gambit is politically risky, exposing Republicans to scrutiny leading up to the 2014 midterm elections. But it gives them a chance to sound a more positive tone after last year's intraparty warring led to a partial government shutdown (Peterson and Meckler, 1/31).
