A short walk along the paths will be offered, but participants can choose to bird solely from chairs on a comfortable, shaded patio surrounded by hummingbird and other feeders. Ideal for anyone with mobility issues, as well as seniors, beginners and anyone interested in seeing a lot of birds with little effort.

AT the conclusion of the first season of ''24,'' Fox's secret-agent drama, the hero's oft-kidnapped wife was shot and killed. On DVD, ''24'' offers another scenario: with a click of the remote, viewers can see her rescue.
The substitute ending was filmed to keep the cast and crew, and thus the public, in the dark until the final episode was televised in May. But it provided Fox with a handy gimmick for promoting its recently released DVD boxed set of the series.
Alternate endings, as they are known, are a favorite feature on DVD's, but ''24'' is an exception -- most of them steer clear of offering a significant departure. In the brave new world of DVD features, filmmakers are surprisingly old-school, and reluctant to use the latest technology to fully explore the plot not taken.
For the DVD version of ''Sweet Home Alabama,'' the romantic comedy starring Reese Witherspoon, which will be released in February, Disney has already begun promoting an alternate ending. That ending, however, will not reverse the film's denouement and show the heroine marrying the rich, handsome socialite she jilted for her rougher-hewn former beau. The extra finale, which the studio is holding out as a ''surprise,'' holds less of a twist.
''Directors are passionate storytellers and they are not jumping up to take a hard right turn at the end of their story,'' said Robert Chapek, president of Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Disney's home-video unit. ''Some are becoming more willing to take a slight curve, but no hard 90 degrees.''
James Bond will never die in a DVD version of ''Die Another Day.''
Unlike science fiction or the increasingly popular literary genre known as ''alternate history'' -- novels like Robert Harris's ''Fatherland,'' a thriller set in a Germany where the Nazis won World War II -- DVD's are not exploring ''what if'' alternatives. Mostly, alternate endings on DVD provide ''what else'' material -- an extra scene to complement outtakes, bloopers and commentary.
But while filmmakers want to protect their own visions, consumers seem increasingly comfortable with multiple-choice.
''There is handwriting on the wall,'' said Benjamin Feingold, president of Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment. ''There will come a time when alternate endings are put in the script purely for the DVD market. That's the power of the format.''
The DVD of the 1987 thriller ''Fatal Attraction'' that came out earlier this year included the original ending that the director Adrian Lyne had set aside when test audiences rejected it as too bleak. (In it, the stalker played by Glenn Close kills herself with a knife covered in the fingerprints of the spurning lover played by Michael Douglas.) Few alternate endings provide as stark an alternative.
Ridley Scott's 1991 movie, ''Thelma and Louise,'' came out on disc in 1997, and it was one of the first mainstream films to offer an alternate ending. But in it, the best friends still plunge to their death in a Thunderbird convertible; the alternate ending is simply a different choice of shots.
Studios often demand an alternative ending if test audiences dislike the original. The finale of John Boorman's film version of ''The Tailor of Panama'' was radically altered before it was released theatrically. The DVD offers both the original and the revised movie versions; neither is faithful to John le Carré's novel.
One of the odder features of DVD's is that while Hollywood has always had few scruples about rewriting even a famous writer's tale -- Hawthorne's ''Scarlet Letter'' has a happy ending in the 1995 film version starring Demi Moore -- the industry is more resistant to tampering with a movie.
Consumers seem less respectful. Blockbuster conducted an online survey of moviegoers last March and found that 59 percent of the respondents favored a chance to see a different outcome for ''Casablanca.''
''Joy Ride,'' a 2001 thriller by the director John Dahl, has been more popular in DVD form than the movie was in theaters, perhaps because the DVD package includes four alternate endings. The film is about three college students on a road trip who are terrorized by a homicidal trucker. Mr. Dahl said that he shot various endings to satisfy dissenters on his team, but that none of them allowed the trucker to kill his prey and live happily ever after. ''That was never an option,'' he said. ''Though after watching it enough times, you might well feel like killing the kids.''
Digital alternate endings have appealed particularly to film buffs who want to learn more about moviemaking. ''It's interesting to see the Hollywood process,'' said Chris Osgood, 22, the owner of Binaryflix.com, a Web site that reviews DVD's. ''Alternate endings bring you closer into the mind of the filmmaker and the choices he made.''
Yet as consumers grow more accustomed to lifting the veil of mystery from movies, industry experts predict they will want to see much more.
''Really, everything Hollywood has tried to do over the past 100 years is to lead you through a story that has an emotional impact,'' said Tom Adams, president of Adams Media Research, a leading monitor of the entertainment industry. ''It's a little freaky to discover that it doesn't have to turn out that way.''
''But DVD's have a tree-and-branch architecture. At any point in the disc you can branch to another part of the disc. The creative potential is enormous and in its infancy. Alternate endings are just the tip of the iceberg.''
Photos: The DVD of the Fox series ''24'' offers opposite endings for the first season: the version that was broadcast, with Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) finding that his wife, Teri (Leslie Hope), has been killed, left; and a version in which Teri lives, right. (Fox)

It's pretty amazing how an exhibition comes together… When you walk into a museum, it's hard to imagine all of the work that goes into making a gallery look the way that it does – everything from the walls to the paint color to the lighting and obviously the placement of the works takes a whole team of people to organize.

The Piketty panicApril 26,2014Capital in the Twenty-First Century, the new book by French economist Thomas Piketty, is a bona fide phenomenon. Other books on economics have been best-sellers, but Pikettys contribution is serious, discourse-changing scholarship in a way most best-sellers arent. And conservatives are terrified. Thus James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute warns in National Review that Pikettys work must be refuted, because otherwise it will spread among the clerisy and reshape the political economic landscape on which all future policy battles will be waged.
Well, good luck with that. The really striking thing about the debate so far is that the right seems unable to mount any kind of substantive counterattack to Pikettys thesis. Instead, the response has been all about name-calling in particular, claims that Piketty is a Marxist, and so is anyone who considers inequality of income and wealth an important issue.
Ill come back to the name-calling in a moment. First, lets talk about why Capital is having such an impact.
Piketty is hardly the first economist to point out that we are experiencing a sharp rise in inequality, or even to emphasize the contrast between slow income growth for most of the population and soaring incomes at the top. Its true that Piketty and his colleagues have added a great deal of historical depth to our knowledge, demonstrating that we really are living in a new Gilded Age. But weve known that for a while.
No, whats really new about Capital is the way it demolishes that most cherished of conservative myths, the insistence that were living in a meritocracy in which great wealth is earned and deserved.
For the past couple of decades, the conservative response to attempts to make soaring incomes at the top into a political issue has involved two lines of defense: first, denial that the rich are actually doing as well and the rest as badly as they are, but when denial fails, claims that those soaring incomes at the top are a justified reward for services rendered. Dont call them the 1 percent, or the wealthy; call them job creators.
But how do you make that defense if the rich derive much of their income not from the work they do but from the assets they own? And what if great wealth comes increasingly not from enterprise but from inheritance?
What Piketty shows is that these are not idle questions. Western societies before World War I were indeed dominated by an oligarchy of inherited wealth and his book makes a compelling case that were well on our way back toward that state.
So whats a conservative, fearing that this diagnosis might be used to justify higher taxes on the wealthy, to do? He could try to refute Piketty in a substantive way, but, so far, Ive seen no sign of that happening. Instead, as I said, it has been all about name-calling.
I guess this shouldnt be surprising. Ive been involved in debates over inequality for more than two decades, and have yet to see conservative experts manage to dispute the numbers without tripping over their own intellectual shoelaces. Why, its almost as if the facts are fundamentally not on their side. At the same time, red-baiting anyone who questions any aspect of free-market dogma has been standard right-wing operating procedure ever since the likes of William F. Buckley tried to block the teaching of Keynesian economics, not by showing that it was wrong, but by denouncing it as collectivist.
Still, it has been amazing to watch conservatives, one after another, denounce Piketty as a Marxist. Even Pethokoukis, who is more sophisticated than the rest, calls Capital a work of soft Marxism, which only makes sense if the mere mention of unequal wealth makes you a Marxist. (And maybe thats how they see it: recently former Sen. Rick Santorum denounced the term middle class as Marxism talk, because, you see, we dont have classes in America.)
And The Wall Street Journals review, predictably, goes the whole distance, somehow segueing from Pikettys call for progressive taxation as a way to limit the concentration of wealth a remedy as American as apple pie, once advocated not just by leading economists but by mainstream politicians, up to and including Teddy Roosevelt to the evils of Stalinism. Is that really the best The Journal can do? The answer, apparently, is yes.
Now, the fact that apologists for Americas oligarchs are evidently at a loss for coherent arguments doesnt mean that they are on the run politically. Money still talks indeed, thanks in part to the Roberts Supreme Court, it talks louder than ever. Still, ideas matter too, shaping both how we talk about society and, eventually, what we do. And the Piketty panic shows that the right has run out of ideas.

Portion Control: How to Train Your Eyes to Control Portions
Reading the serving size on the nutritional label and measuring the proportion is the only way to measure correct proportions of your meal. But, what about those times when you are running late for a meeting and looking at the nutritional label is the last thought that comes to your mind? In order to manage desperate eating times like these, today we present to you a little trick, which you can memorize and make sure that you are not eating triple the amount that you should eat – and that is to train your eyes to control portions.
First of all, let us gain an insight over the importance of weighing and measuring portions
Sheela Krishnaswamy. In most people, quantity of food intake is a habit. This doesn't matter as long as the quality of food intake is good and the individual's health parameters are under control. However, for those who wish to control their quantity of food (for example, a person who is trying to lose weight) measuring their food intake helps.
Neelanjana Singh. No matter how healthy a diet is, if one eats too much or too little of any food it can pose a problem. With growing portion sizes it has become easy to misjudge quantities and overeat. Overeating due to inaccurate portion sizes is the commonest pitfalls of diets today leading to obesity and related problems. Understanding portion sizes are important also because one likes variety in foods. Adjustments are crucial not just to suit the palate but also for getting in the required nutrition. For instance, many people are surprised to know that one bread slice can be substituted with only two tablespoons of cooked rice if one wants to maintain the calorie and carbohydrate content of the meal.
Keep those measuring cups within eye-sight in the kitchen.
Sheela Krishnaswamy. Cups, spoons, bowls, glasses, etc are common measures that a dietitian would refer to while teaching the patient to eat sensibly. Weighing each food is cumbersome; therefore household measuring tools come in handy. It's easier to control the quantity of food intake when you measure the ingredient in the kitchen. Easiest example in this context is oil. Most people pour oil straight from the can or bottle into the kadai. However, if a teaspoon is used to measure and pour, the quantity is very easily controlled.
Neelanjana Singh. In order to get some idea about portion sizes of food it is best to weigh the items. However, this may not be a very practical method. Here is a more practical approach to deal with the concept of portion sizes. Just observing and comparing the portions to everyday articles such as a golf ball or a deck of cards seems to do the job quite well.
Standard practices that will help you train your eyes to portion control.
Sheela Krishnaswamy. In India, we don't follow the western standards of measuring food items, thus given below are some standards that are followed by most practicing nutritionists and dietitians.
- Serving Size of Fruit –varies from fruit to fruit. 1 small apple or 1 medium orange or 1 medium pear or ½ banana or 1 slice papaya or 1 cup chopped melon would be 1 serving.
- Medium Piece = Size of Baseball
- Serving Size of Meat – ½ chicken leg or 1 slice fish or 1 egg or 5 to 6 pieces of mutton is a serving.
- 3 ounces = Size of a Deck of Cards
- Serving Size of Cheese – 3 tablespoons of paneer is a serving.
- 1 ounce = Size of Four Dice
Innovative way of measuring food! Have a look at this link interactive food portion sizes and understand how ideally, practically and effectively train eyes to portion control. But again, perhaps this website makes sense for the western population. But in India where food habits and dietary intakes are different and diverse, we cannot apply all of that information in our country. As of now, we should ideally use measuring spoons, cups, etc to control our food portions, not only while eating but also while cooking. If these measuring devices can replace our hands ('andaaza' as we put it in India), we can keep better control on our quantity of food intake, thereby helping us control our health better.
Neelanjana Singh. Most of us are aware that a healthy diet should include at least 5 portions of fruits and vegetables in a day. However, what amount constitutes one portion can be confusing. One cup or one medium fruit such as an apple would be the size of a baseball (or a woman's fist) makes one portion. If the size of the apple is larger than that it would contribute to another portion. Whereas, just 1/4 th cup( size of a golf ball) of dried fruits such as raisins makes one portion of the fruit allowance. In the meat food group, one portion of chicken or lean meat constitutes approximately 3 ounces which is the size of a deck of playing cards. In the dairy food group, one cup yogurt or 8 ounces is the equivalent of a baseball. One and a half ounces of hard cheese which is the size of 3 large playing dice makes one dairy portion. This technique is called "eyeballing" portion sizes.
In order to exercise portion control it is considered a good idea to take out the permitted portions on to a plate and then start eating. Keep the extra servings out of sight! Interestingly, using smaller plates (such as a salad plate) has also be found to be useful when trying to control portions.

The doctors at Oral Surgery South have all the training to back up their straightforward business name—and it's a lot of training. To perform oral and maxillofacial surgery, these medical professionals took on up to six additional years of training as they mastered surgical techniques, anesthesia, and the hanging of many degrees on a single wall. In addition to helping patients with a variety of problems of the mouth, teeth, and face, they also perform aesthetic services, giving their patients youthful looks that complement their healthy smiles.
As if to complement its view of the harbor, Aria Salon & Spa immerses guests in oceanic serenity. One of its body treatments begins with exfoliating salts from the Dead Sea, then cocoons clients in a Hawaiian seaweed mask. Nails can benefit from the same mask during a Caribbean therapy treatment, whose tropical ingredients—mango and cocoa butter among them—soften the skin alongside scented paraffin wax. The ocean even appears on the massage table: a detoxifying back massage employs marine products that refresh the back, scalp, feet, and fin.
Of course, not every treatment calls upon briny remedies. The salon segment of the venue administers blow-dries, haircuts, and color treatments. Makeup artists highlight features with Aveda products, whereas estheticians combat acne and signs of aging with a menu of facials. The Radiant facial, for example, evens out the skin's surface with botanical extracts and the mineral tourmaline, providing a gentler alternative to microdermabrasion or practicing your eskimo-kisses on a tree.
The staff at Sonoma Spa & Salon works to bring aesthetic goals to life beneath hanging lights and powder-blue candles. Hair services frame faces with everything from basic cuts to coloring, highlights, and keratin treatments. In the spa, the team deep cleans with facial treatments including Hydradermie facials, non-surgical chemical peels, and diamond microdermabrasion, which smoothens skin and gives nearby pieces of coal a positive role model. Warm, freshly harvested seaweed envelops bodies during the slimming seaweed-wrap treatment, and the staff also smoothes bodies with waxing.
The Republic of Wellness?s massage therapists come from Brazil, Belarus, and across New England, but they're all united by a single philosophy: the human body can heal itself. In helping it regain its natural balance, they take inspiration from ancient traditions from around the globe, including acupuncture, yoga, Swedish massage, and reflexology, a style that, much like four-limbed applause, places pressure on the extremities. The Quincy studio immediately muffles the worries of the outside world with a waiting room lined with well-loved Oriental rugs, overstuffed chairs, and amber-shaded lamps.
At Shabu Restaurant, diners take dinner preparation into their own hands, creating edible masterpieces of Japanese cuisine with little more than a bubbling soup pot and platters of shiitake mushrooms, vermicelli noodles, morsels of tender steak, fish cakes, and squid. Within the cozy 50-seat dining room, glowing cylindrical chandeliers cast light on sleek ecru furniture and lavender-tinged orchids, while simmering vessels offer up the savory scents of MSG-free broth. In the outdoor Japanese garden, guests sip wine and sake amid the sounds of rustling bamboo leaves, burbling water, and a Japanese deer scare chasing away skittish dumpling thieves.
Masters of all things relaxing, Massage Works' licensed therapists can switch from one massage style to another midsession, bestowing the benefits of multiple modalities onto muscles. Deep-tissue and Swedish sessions release entrenched toxins with gentle, flowing strokes and kneading pressures that evict muscle tightness and help minds let go of deadlines and 1940s baseball stats. During couples massages, dueling massage therapists compete to see whose patient achieves total relaxation first.

Seven Oaks to help elderly patient at home
Seven Oaks General Hospital will provide the help an elderly patient needs after sending her home alone without home care.
By Friday, Elvira Umbach can expect the hospital to send someone three times a day to ensure she takes her prescriptions and to provide light housekeeping.
"I am feeling so relieved. It's a load off; now I can function," Umbach's daughter Esther Kafka said from Windsor, Ontario.
Kafka filed a formal complaint with Seven Oaks after they sent her mother home Feb. 12, without an aide to help her or home care.
The 78-year-old woman had been admitted Jan. 24 after suffering a heart attack.
Umbach couldn't look after herself because she's often confused and May have a form of dementia that's never been diagnosed, her daughter said.
Kafka's father, Heinz Umbach, 86, is himself in hospital at the Victoria General, recovering from a near-fatal collapse in January.

Logics (of ArtOfficial) - Something New
Artist: Logics (of ArtOfficial)
Producer: T-Mos
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 9 votes )
To date, all of Logics and Newsense's Booth features have seen them rhyming over live-beat beats by their colleagues in Floridian live-band hip-hop ensemble ArtOfficial. On their latest effort, a previously-unreleased loosie dropped in honor of the new year, they try out Something New, detaching from their crew to craft a record with Rockville, Maryland's T-Mos. Over the aforementioned beatsmith's deft sample work, the rhymesayers chronicle their quest to create something fresh and original in the rap game, stopping only to bust lyrical shots at sucker emcees surrounding them. While this joint isn't attached to any forthcoming project, readers who like what they're hearing can keep it locked for more from the collaborators—whether singly, dually or under the ArtOfficial banner.

Health insurance mandatory to enter UAE – Residency department
Companies and tour operators that sponsor visitors should arrange for health insurance
- Image Credit: Gulf News Archives
- The UAE Government has signed an agreement with Noor Takaful Islamic Insurance to issue health insurance policies to visitors. Other policies will be accepted if they meet the criteria.
Dubai: Health insurance is mandatory for visitors to enter UAE, said a senior official from the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA),
The rule for mandatory health insurance was implemented almost five years ago by the UAE government. Everyone applying for a visit or tourist visa needs to have health insurance, regardless of the nationality, age or gender. Only nationalities who can avail of visas on arrival are exempt.
Major General Mohammad Ahmad Al Merri, Director General of the GDRFA, told Gulf News that tourists and visitors can receive free treatment in case of emergency as per the visa health insurance rules and regulations.
"A ministerial decision number 322 for the year 2008 makes health insurance mandatory to obtain any type of visit visa to the UAE. The rule came into effect in August in the same year," he said.
The Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing in Dubai is in charge of tourists' health insurance, he said.
Companies and tour operators that bring in visitors should arrange for health insurance policies for their guests.
"The tourist company must follow up any tourist they brought here in case that tourist falls ill and needs to be hospitalised," said Al Merri.
The GDRFA has signed an agreement with Noor Takaful Islamic Insurance to issue health insurance policies for visitors to Dubai with a minimum coverage of Dh150,000 per person per visit.
"Visit Visa Medical Takaful Plan is the plan approved by the UAE government for the visit visa application. The plan provides the medical coverage as required by the UAE visa regulations for visitors entering the country," he said.
He said that the Takaful plan covers emergency in-patient medical expenses incurred by visitors while in the UAE, 24 hours a day, for up to a maximum of Dh150,000 and repatriation of mortal remains up to a maximum Dh7,500.
The plan offers facility for direct billing settlement to providers where visitors can access the company's wide network of healthcare providers without the need to pay first, thus providing convenience for fast medical attention in an emergency.
He said the non-network treatment shall be covered only for treatment of life-threatening cases.
"An external health insurance from any insurance company or travel agency is accepted and will be attested free of charge by the GDRFA," he said.
He said that health coverage policies issued by other companies will also be accepted provided they meet the same criteria including the minimum limit of Dh150,000 and the types of services offered like emergencies and repatriation of bodies.
He added the insurance company will offer three different types of health policies according to the visit periods.
Prices start from Dh40 for short-term visas valid for 30 days; Dh90 for visas valid for 90 days; and Dh185 for multiple entry visas valid for 180 days.
He explained that these policies will cover accidents and emergencies during the visitor's stay in the country.
Major General Al Merri added that the health agreement does not cover medical treatment outside the health services providers' network, except in the case of emergency life-threatening cases.
The policy also does not cover chronic illnesses and it will include treatment of serious complications of already existing chronic illnesses in the emergency room only. It also does not cover pregnancy, delivery and ophthalmology or dental treatment.
Health insurance policies for visitors can be obtained from special counters to be set up at the GDRFA's headquarters in Bur Dubai, and other branches in Abu Hail, the Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai Airport, Dnata office on Shaikh Zayed Road, Umm Suqeim, Jebel Ali and Bin Souqat Centre in Rashidiya.

Take a look at this sneak peek of Elegance Bratton's documentary film "Pier Kids: The Life." New York City's homeless population has risen dramatically in recent years to more than 50,000, and it's estimated that 40 percent of all homeless youth identify as LGBT. The Pier has long been a home — albeit a contested one — for queer youth of color. And this new film sheds some light on their struggles.
UCLA Student Body Drops the I-Word
Here's some happy news to start the school year. Last week, the Undergraduate Students Association at the University of California, Los Angeles unanimously passed a proposition to endorse our Drop the i-word campaign and stop using the term "illegal immigrant."
The college newspaper the Daily Bruin reports that the decision was made, in part, as a sign of respect to the school's undocumented students. It's an important move, especially in light of Janet Napolitano's move from the Department of Homeland Security to head the University of California.

Inside Out 11M Public Art Project Hits Miami
After winning the 2011 TED Prize, French street artist JR launched the Inside Out Project with the goal of creating a global participatory art project with the "potential to change the world." Each installment of Inside Out is site-specific, addressing current issues in that country such as LGBT rights in Germany, and orphans with HIV/AIDS in South Africa.
The U.S. installment of the project, titled "Inside Out 11 M," launched this summer and draws attention to the 11 million undocumented immigrants who remain in legal limbo awaiting comprehensive immigration reform. Since July, a mobile photo booth has been traveling the country capturing individual portraits, which are then transformed into public art installations. Inside Out mirrors JR's signature style of larger than life black-and-white photograph wheat paste posters that often take up entire buildings or are placed in unexpected locations.
The project completed its Miami Beach installment over the weekend on the Freedom Tower at Miami Dade College, which once served as an immigration processing point for refugees fleeing Cuba. More than 600 people showed up to participate in the Miami edition in solidarity with immigrant rights.
The mobile photo booth will continue traveling to cities across the U.S. through the end of September.
Spanish Language Film Breaks Box Office Records
"Instrucciones no incluidas" was a big hit this Labor Day weekend. The Spanish language film, known as "Instructions Not Included" in English, came in fifth and raked in a whooping $10 million in sales—despite the fact it only premiered in 347 theaters. For comparison, "The Butler" brought in double the amount of ticket sales this holiday weekend, but played in nearly 3,330 theaters.
If you haven't yet heard about "Instructions Not Included," Jorge Rivas over at Fusion will explain why—along with a review that's worth the read.

It's a long list that includes classics and contemporaries. Check it out.
A Devastatingly Good Read on San Francisco's Gentrification
In case you missed it: Occasional Colorlines.com contributor Jasmine Elizabeth Johnson published a beautiful essay on Gawker over the weekend called "Dear Khary: An Autobiography of Gentrification." In it, she writes a letter to her slain brother about how their hometown's changed over the past two decades. Here's a snippet:
Marcus Books is the only thing that looks like you, Khary. No longer written into the news as tragedy, Fillmore lives in travel magazines and on Yelp. And isn't that a good thing?, people who don't know me ask. How good could it feel knowing that one will never be able to live where one grew up? How empowering can your brother's death be as a yardstick for how positively far the neighborhood has come?
It's a truly moving meditation of love and loss, so do go read the entire piece over at Gawker.

White Supremacist Aims to Create Colony in North Dakota Small Town
Residents of Leith, North Dakota were alarmed to learn about Paul Craig Cobb's plans to create a white supremacist haven in their small, peaceful town. Cobb, a well-known white supremacist, moved to Leith last year and has bought up more than a dozen properties since 2011. The New York Times reports his goal is to create a white power colony in Leith, and he has already transferred ownership of some of those properties to other known white supremacists.
Bobby Harper, the sole black resident of Leith, lives just one block away from Cobb—who allegedly referred to Harper's wife Sherrill as a "filthy race-mixing white woman" in an online forum. The current population of Leith is 24 people, and residents are very concerned about Cobb's activities. Some have even tried to buy back their properties in an effort to block his plans.

Alabama Republican Wants to Ban Toni Morrison's 'The Bluest Eye'
Sigh. This again, from The Atlantic Wire:
Bowing to Tea Party pressure, Alabama State Senator Bill Holtzclaw said this week that he thinks The Bluest Eye, Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison's novel about a little black girl who wishes for blue eyes, should be banned in schools. He only made this statement after GOP members criticized him for opposing a repeal of the federal Common Core standards. The Bluest Eye is on the 11th grade reading list for the Common Core, a set of standards that has been adapted by more than 40 states.
Hotzclaw told the Alabama Media Group, "The book is just completely objectionable, from language to the content."
Does it Matter if Cory Booker is (or Isn't) Gay?
In the midst of Cory Booker's newly announced Senate campaign his sexuality has, again, become the topic of conversation. Booker has never been married, and discussed allegations he is gay in a recent interview with the Washington Post, saying:
"And people who think I'm gay, some part of me thinks it's wonderful. Because I want to challenge people on their homophobia. I love seeing on Twitter when someone says I'm gay, and I say, 'So what does it matter if I am? So be it. I hope you are not voting for me because you are making the presumption that I'm straight.' "
Booker has consistently been fecetious about his sexuality, although he's referenced past girlfriends, saying it opens up conversation about homophobia.
His rival in the Senate race, former Bogota, NJ Mayor Steve Lonegan, criticized Booker's "peculiar festish" of getting late-night mani-pedis in a recent interview with Newsmax TV, and went on to challenge his manhood. "It's kind of weird. As a guy, I personally like being a guy," Lonegan says. He also accused Booker of being deliberately vague in order to get the gay vote.
In response to Lonegan's statments, Booker said he was "disheartened" that Lonegan implies that gay men are no longer men.
This isn't the first time Booker's been accused of being gay. His sexuality was also a point of contention during his first failed Newark mayoral campaign in 2002 against Sharpe James. It seems likely that—until Booker comes out directly one way or another—questions around his sexuality will follow him through this Senate campaign.
Take a Sneak Peek at the Satire 'Dear White People'
A new satire called "Dear White People" is currently in production in Minneapolis. It follows the story of four black students at an Ivy League college where a riot breaks out over a popular "African American" themed party that's thrown by a group of white students.
"With tongue planted firmly in cheek, the film will explore racial identity in 'post-racial' America while weaving a universal story of forging one's unique path in the world," writes Justin Simien, the show's writer, director, and producer.
This recently released behind-the-scenes video gives viewers a taste of what's to come, and includes a few shots of your favorite Awkward Black Girl Issa Rae.

On Hurricane Katrina's Eighth Anniversary New Orleans Residents Continue Rebuilding
Today New Orleans residents commemorated the eighth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina with events around the city, remembering the more than 1,800 people who died and the destruction it caused. The hurricane that devastated the city eight years ago continues to be a daily reality for those still living there.
But the Associated Press reports that 80 percent of the pre-storm population has returned to the city, and new business development is on the rise. New Orleans appears to be on the rebound and residents who chose to stay or have returned are working hard to revitalize the city.
Current residents of one of the hardest-hit areas in the Lower Ninth Ward have been struggling with lack of access to grocery stores, and responded by creating a network of community gardens to provide residents with fresh produce.
And young people in New Orleans now have a say in how their education system is rebuilt thanks to Kids Rethink New Orleans project.
Storytelling and community building continue to be important tools for helping residents cope with the past and rebuild their lives. One of projects to emerge in the wake of Hurricane Katrina is the "Land of Opportunity," a film project that developed an interactive platform for Katrina survivors to share their experiences. The project is teaming up with Sandy Storyline, a documentary project focusing on Hurricane Sandy in New York, to build ties between these recovery efforts.
Land of Opportunity - Trailer from Land of Opportunity on Vimeo.
These are just a few of the projects in the works to bring back "The Big Easy." It's clear there's still work to be done, but the people of New Orleans seem strongly committed to creating innovative models for rebuilding their beloved city.
Low-Wage Workers in 50 Cities Stage Walk Out
Just one day after the 50th commemoration of the March for Jobs and Freedom, minimum-wage workers in 50 cities across the United States have taken to the streets to demand a living wage.
Those walking off the job across the country are asking that the minimum wage be raised to $15 an hour, as well as for the right to form unions. That wage is the same-dollar equivalent to the 1963 March on Washington's call for a $2 per hour minimum wage.
Troublingly, five decades after the original march the grandchildren of those who participated are protesting for the same goal: essential economic fairness.
The problem is that the current minimum wage of $7.25 is a driving force behind the fact that one out of three Americans who work don't earn enough to live. At minimum wage an employee earns only $15,000 a year. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, that's the poverty level for a worker with one child.
And the minimum wage is a racial justice issue as well. Four out of 10 of those who hold these jobs are people of color. A report by the Restaurant Opportunities Center found that three million people of color could be lifted out of poverty if the minimum wage were increased even to $10 an hour.
That's why thousands are protesting in front of fast food restaurants such as McDonalds, Burger King and Wendy's today and retailers including Dollar Tree, Sears and Macy's. Given that the fact that dining and retail combined generate almost $5 trillion in economic activity, perhaps their time has come.
Either way, today's effort shows that the fight for economic justice marches on. Updates to their efforts can be followed at Twitter #829strike.
Dream Defenders and DREAMers Were Cut From 'I Have a Dream' Ceremony
People attending the "Let Freedom Ring" ceremony yesterday, featuring President Obama, were expecting to hear from Philip Agnew, executive director of the Dream Defenders in Florida, and Sofia Campos, chairperson of the immigrant rights youth-led organization United We Dream. Both names were listed on the ceremony's program. But as Agnew was about to take the stage, he was told that he could not speak. Campos was also told she could not speak.
Talk about civil rights action interrupted, the Dream Defenders camped out in the Florida capitol building in Tallahassee for a full month in protest of the George Zimmerman verdict, and to demand new laws that would dismantle school-to-prison pipelines, racial profiling and Stand Your Ground gun laws. Campos, 24, is helping lead a movement demanding humane immigrant rights reform, which has called out Obama on his record-setting deportations.
Agnew is now calling for people to publish their own dream speeches on video and post them on Twitter and Facebook. The Dream Defenders are releasing today a video of the speech Agnew was going to deliver at the ceremony yesterday.
"This is about more than the speech," said Agnew. "It's about the voices of hundreds of thousands of people across the country that have been silenced for too long. Our generation's dreams have been deferred for too long. While the words spoken amidst the pillars of the Lincoln Memorial yesterday may have reverberated throughout the nation, the actions, energy and love of the rising generation will resound in history books for centuries to come, like those of giants before us."
