Soul Food
Reviewed by: Chris Utley
Very Offensive
Moviemaking Quality:
Primary Audience:
115 min.
Starring: Vanessa L. Williams, Vivica A. Fox, Nia Long / Director: George Tillman, Jr. / Released by: 20th Century Fox
African-American films have been stereotyped in the 1990's as being a bunch of ghetto fantasy ultra-violent hood movies. That mold has finally been broken with "Soul Food", a brilliant slice of African-American life by Producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Director George Tillman, Jr.
"Soul Food" is the story of three sisters: Teri (Vanessa L. Williams), a successful lawyer with a huge chip on her shoulder and a troubled marriage, Maxine (Vivica A. Fox), the strong willed sister with a successful marriage and two children… with one on the way, and Bird (Nia Long), the youngest sister who owns her own hair salon and is adjusting to her new marriage to Lem (Mekhi Phifer), an ex-con struggling to get back on his feet. The three sisters and their families gather every Sunday around the kitchen table of their very own Mother Joe (Irma P. Hall) where they fellowship and dine to soul food items such as fried chicken, fried catfish, macaroni and cheese, greens, cornbread… makes you hungry just thinking about it!
The narrator of the story is Maxine's son Ahmad (Brandon Hammond, Jr.) who is Mother Joe's favorite grandchild and possesor of her strength. When illness forces Mother Joe to be hospitalized, the three sisters lives fall into a tailspin as they deal with their lives… as well as their mother's life… unraveling.
"Soul Food" contains intense and powerful scenes which contain a large amount of very strong language. It will be offensive to most Christians, but it is so realistically portrayed that the intensity of the scenes may override the usage of the profanity. Many characters also portray very negative attitudes. There are two sexual scenes shown in the film… one between husband and wife and one with a husband cheating on his wife (this scene in particular is graphic). Various other sexual situations are also prominent throughout this film. On a positive note, Director George Tillman does not sugar-coat the sin… the consequences of the sin are displayed in the film for God's glory.
And Christ is glorified in a very strong prayer by our narrator Ahmad near the end of the movie. I was proud to see that… as well as this movie. "Soul Food" is one of the greatest African-American films of the 90's… if not ever! It's a realistic and beautiful portrayal of family life that will hit each viewer close to home…
Year of Release—1997
The Bible lets us know that "faith cometh by hearing." From my life experiences, this principle applies to the effectiveness of both biblical/spiritual and secular/worldly means of communication. I say this in light of the message (whether intentional or not) that is portrayed in the movie "Soul Food." I am afraid that people, such as myself, and many others, are so desperate to see a positive movie (Black or White) that we feel comfortable taking our children to see, that we allow ourselves to compromise on what we KNOW is right. Even companies like Disney has not held to its' wholesome values. With "Soul Food," I see a genuine attempt to accommodate socially conscious Black folks (because Whites still don't recognize Black films unless its "crossing over"). Folks who listen to Tom Joyner (syndicated DJ), church folks who are skipping the afternoon Sunday worship services, and the like. No matter how we want to slice it, under all of that fried chicken, pork and corn bread, the pornography, that's right, I said it, the pornography in this film is—number one, not necessary and number two, unhealthy for anyone who is trying to live a positive life style, especially for Believers, and especially singles.
We are affected by what is communicated to us, whether positive or negative. That is why God reminds us to guard our hearts (minds) in the book of Proverbs. The old saying applies, "you are what you eat," garbage in, garbage out." Let us not be fooled. Lets not go to sleep. Are we under the impression that a good movie/a good time cannot be had without profanity. I/we know better. Do we have the unawareness of Biblical true and Spirit awareness to give this film a positive rating? Let us resurrect our Sunday School lessons, Bible study teachings and sermons to realize (we are holy nation and a peculiar people) that this movie comes close to what we need, but is still falling short—so lets not support it. We love you Babyface, but try again my brother.
—Ken Brown
I enjoyed watching the movie, however, like other Christians the sex scene offended me. The reference to genitials offended me. The other thing that bothered me is how preachers are portrayed in movies ("Comimg to America"). I know several preachers and have never seen one who acted the way the "reverend" did in the movie. I write scripts and hope to have some of my writings produced into movies that anyone can see—especially Christians—and feel good about it.
—M.G.S. Bush
I can understand that the film has many merits, but because of the sexual content, I refuse to watch it. As Christians, the Bible tells us to avoid all sinful pleasures of the flesh. My "flesh" would love to indulge in such scenes, but it is detrimental to my spiritual health since it would instantly evoke lustful thoughts in my head. Answer the following question: Is it o.k. to knowingly expose yourself to sinful activity (viewing sexual scenes) if that activity in intertwined with noble activities? It is not—to do so is compromising. I only wish the film was without sexual content so I could view it.
—Joe Madonna, Age 31 (A Promise Keeper)
Soul Food, constant tear jurker, It reminded of my own "Big Mom." What a wonderful memory, we let go of our family's sunday dinners. Maybe after soul food, we can get them back. I am so thank of a more accurate portrayal of African American's we have a very rich heritage that should be told. Thank you for the opportunity to communicated these views.
—Karen D. Pulliam, age 37
I know this isn't a ballot box, but I wanted to voice my support, too. "Soul Food" is one of the most pro-family movies I've seen all year.
—Brian, age 24
I reviewed this film for this site and my original Moral Rating of 2½ was rejected because of the adult content of the film. I understand that portion, but beneath all that is a beautiful story about love and the strength of family that any Christian would be proud of. I am hearing reports of families gathering back together again for similiar Sunday dinners to heal old wounds as a result of this film. THAT'S MINISTRY… something the art of film needs to be doing more of.
—Christopher Utley, age 24
…This movie featured important christian morals that all families can learn from.
bryan, age 19
I feel that this was an excellent movie for the all generations, regardless of "uncomfortable" content. The "unconfortable" content is LIFE! Sometimes, life is not "clean". The scenes portrayed in this movie, I know for a FACT, touched the lives of everyone who has seen this movie. The traditions portrayed are the traditions of many families across this American nation. I think that "Soulfood" should have received a higher rating than any "1" for the Christian movie scale. It promoted values… values that most of us have either forgotten throughout the generations, or chose not to validate due to pettiness or strife.
—Shali N., age 24

Re: Photosmart 6510 not printing in black
I am having a similar problem but only geting black print and no colours
i tried the above procedure but still have the problem , do you have a different suggestion for this problem ?
Re: Photosmart 6510 not printing in black
further to the above i did a semi full reset and got a message that the alignment was not completed correctly
would appreciate any ideas
Re: Photosmart 6510 not printing in black
Re: Photosmart 6510 not printing in black
This 6510 printer is about one year old.
The black ink is not printing either in photos or text.
I have replaced the cartridge twice, checked for firmware updates, cleaned the printheads, and updated the drivers.
All the cartridges are new.
It is attached via usb cable to my Windows 7 system which is working fine,
Do not know what to do here but I need this prinetr to work and I cannot afford to keep buying new printers every year.
Re: Photosmart 6510 not printing in black
My Photosmart 6510 is not printing in black. I changed the cartridge and still not black. I went through the partial reset instructions and still no black. I get a message on the touch screen "Cartidgres are not calibrated for best print quality." and then touch "OK" to continue.
Can someone help me with this issue. My printer is less than a year old.
Thank you.
Re: Photosmart 6510 not printing in black
I also have the same printer less than one year old with the same defect. Tried all the above suggestions with the same results, no black ink printing. This is my second HP printer with less than one year life. If someone has suggestions please advise, otherwise I will switch to another brand.
Re: Photosmart 6510 not printing in black -- ANSWER!
I found a fix that I'm hoping is not just temporary. I had tried using the printer screen to run the Clean Printheads process, with no luck. But then I sat at my computer and opened the print utility and ran the cleaning program from there. After the first cleaning, I clicked on the button that indicated that it was not clean yet, and it ran a deeper cleaning. Now my printer prints in black again! My sister had the same problem and also ran the align printheads process, and it fixed her problem of not printing, too.
Re: Photosmart 6510 not printing in black
Running the printhead cleaning from the printer touchscreen did not work. But when I sat at my computer and used the print utility program, it did. I ran an initial printhead cleaning from my computer and then clicked the button that indicated that the printheads were NOT yet clean. It then ran a deeper cleaning process. I then aligned the printheads from the same print utility program. Now it works!

Metroland Media History● Many of Metroland's 105 newspapers have historic roots dating back more than a century, while many others are young "start-up" publications which have been launched to serve new developing communities.
● The name "Metroland" was established upon the amalgamation of Metrospan Community Newspapers and Inland Publishing Company in February 1981.
● At that time, Metrospan Community Newspapers, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Torstar Corporation operated a small group of weekly newspapers in the Toronto suburbs; while Inland Publishing Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Telegram Corporation operated primarily in suburbs surrounding the Metrospan communities.
● At the time of Metroland's formation, the company consisted of 27 newspapers, each publishing once per week, serving communities from Burlington in the west to Oshawa in the east, and Newmarket in the north.
● During the 1980s and 1990s Metroland expanded geographically through both start-ups and acquisitions In addition, Metroland aggressively expanded organically by increasing publishing frequency in many markets to twice or three times weekly, and by broadening the portfolio to include magazines, shows, and other ancillary products.
● In 2003, eight Metroland community newspapers were divested to Osprey Media as part of a transaction that resulted in Torstar's acquisition of The Hamilton Community News group and the Fairway community newspaper group (Kitchener area). These groups were placed in the CityMedia division along with Torstar's three daily newspapers in Hamilton, Kitchener and Guelph, which had been acquired from Sun Media in 1999 (after Sun acquired them from Southam in late 1998). In 2004 Metroland launched Niagara This Week.
● A Torstar internal reorganization in September 2006 resulted in the addition of CityMedia to Metroland.
● In early 2009, Metroland's eight printing facilities were combined with the Vaughan Press Centre to create Torstar Printing Group which is its own division of Torstar.
● In 2008 Metroland established the Digital Media Group to operate and grow the company's various digital businesses.
● In 2010 Metroland expanded its Ottawa footprint to reach more than 320,000 households in the region.
● In 2011, Metroland launched newspapers in three new communities, London, Brantford and North Bay and added community papers to its existing portfolio in Kitchener.

What would you do if your teen daughter posted a rant on FB about her parents that treat her like a slave, along with lots of inappropriate languange and disparaging remarks about friends of the family? Check out this dad's response:
What do you think about the way he handled this?

I just thought it was wasteful . . . I'd take the computer to use for my own, give it to a sibling, or sell the darn thing.
|Tue, 02-14-2012 - 4:51pm
We had neighbors once that were gun collectors, the husband always went to gun shows and by the time the DS was three or four he would take him with him, I thought that was kind of weird but to each their own..... I don't think this story was as much about him shooting the computer as it was how he addressed the spoiled behavior of his teenager, And frankly I think he spoke for parents who would think of saying the same things if their kid ever went off on them the way this one did.

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif., April 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Boeing (NYSE: BA) X-48C research aircraft flew for the 30th and final time April 9, marking the successful completion of an eight-month flight-test program to explore and further validate the aerodynamic characteristics of the Blended Wing Body design concept.
All 30 flights were conducted at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center. The X-48C typically flew for approximately 30 minutes on most flights, reaching speeds of up to 140 miles per hour and attaining an altitude of about 10,000 feet. X-48C flight testing began Aug. 7, 2012.
"Working closely with NASA, we have been privileged throughout X-48 flight-testing to explore and validate what we believe is a significant breakthrough in the science of flight – and it has been a tremendous success for Boeing," said Bob Liebeck, a Boeing Senior Technical Fellow and the company's BWB program manager.
"We have shown that a BWB aircraft, which offers the tremendous promise of significantly greater fuel efficiency and reduced noise, can be controlled as effectively as a conventional tube-and-wing aircraft during takeoffs, landings and other low-speed segments of the flight regime," Liebeck said.The X-48C, designed by Boeing Research & Technology, built by Cranfield Aerospace Ltd., and flown in partnership with NASA and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, is a scale model of a heavy-lift, subsonic vehicle that forgoes the conventional tube-and-wing airplane design in favor of a triangular tailless aircraft that effectively merges the vehicle's wing and body. Boeing believes the concept could be developed in the next 15 to 20 years for military applications such as aerial refueling and cargo missions. The X-48C is a modified version of the X-48B aircraft, which flew 92 times at NASA Dryden between 2007 and 2010. The X-48C is configured with two 89-pound thrust turbojet engines, instead of three 50-pound thrust engines on the B-model. In addition, the wingtip winglets were relocated inboard next to the engines on the C-model and the aft deck was extended about 2 feet at the rear.

SHALLOTTE—The federal government has awarded the Shallotte Fire Department $406,420 to hire four new firefighters, but town aldermen want to wait a week to decide whether to approve it.
The new firefighters would provide enough staffing to meet federal recommendations for safety.
The five-year grant requires the town to provide matching funds at a greater rate each year, and at Tuesday night's pre-agenda meeting, aldermen said they wanted a week to have all their questions answered before approving it.
The grant will be on the Sept. 2 meeting agenda.
SUNSET BEACH—A Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) grant of $500,000 has been approved for a new public boat launch site in Sunset Beach.
"It's good news, of course," Sunset Beach Town Administrator Gary Parker said of the announcement made last week.
Parker said the grant will have to be used for what the town has proposed—acquisition for $1.9 million of a 1.2-acre mainland site next to the waterway where the ramp is to be built.
SUNSET BEACH—"Today we should get our first customer," Bob Bobinski said, standing in the town's newly relocated ABC store as it opened in a drenching rainstorm at 9 a.m. Monday.
The Sunset Beach councilman and local ABC board member was right.
Minutes later, Roy Greenwood of Sunset Beach bellied up to the liquor-store counter to buy two George Dickel Tennessee Whisky mini-bottles from store clerk Brooke Farquhar for $3.21.
"All my friends are coming to visit tonight," Greenwood joked.
My teacher made it very clear. She was leaving the room. We were to work on our assignments and should not speak a word while she was gone.
Knowing my penchant for jabbering—reflected in the "Stacey talks too much" that often appeared on my grade-school report cards—my teacher looked right at me.
"Don't talk," she said as she headed out the door.
I tried hard to do my work, but with the teacher gone, the impulse to talk was much bigger than my third-grade body could contain.
Each year, the Brunswick County School Board reviews its superintendent's performance in closed session. Because the evaluation is a personnel issue, the law does not require it to be released to the public. However, the law does not prohibit a superintendent from releasing any information from his or her evaluation once it is complete.
The following cases were adjudicated over two days of District Criminal Court on Aug. 18 and 19 in Bolivia.
Monday, Aug. 18
Judge William Fairley presided over the following cases with prosecutor Cathi Radford and courtroom clerk Jennifer Hearn:
Timothy Pete Barnett, speeding 75 in a 60 zone, costs; no operator's license, drive/allow motor vehicle no registration, both voluntarily dismissed.
Tocarra Batts, failure to reduce speed, voluntarily dismissed.
LELAND—Different approach, same result.
The West Brunswick boys soccer team beat the North Brunswick Scorpions 6-0 Monday evening, the same score by which it beat them in the season opener.
This time, however, the Trojans used a different style of play in the first half. Rather than attacking, the Trojans worked on set plays, and the second team played nearly as much as the first team.
West led 2-0 at halftime but scored four goals in seven minutes at the start of the second half.
Labor Day looms, announcing summer's demise with a huge sigh of regret. For a brief moment, we will celebrate the cessation of work and creation of play. Grills heat up, families gather and relaxing is the word of the day.
Some impressions from the scrimmages.
A.J. Ferguson. The South Brunswick senior tight end, who is 6-foot-2, 230 pounds, made a sensational catch in the Cougars' scrimmage Aug. 15 with Jacksonville in the BB&T Football Jamboree.
Mid-August to mid-September is sort of the stepchild of fishing seasons. The summer bite has mostly shut down, and the fall bite has yet to begin. The main reason for the slow down is from the high water temperatures.

Best wine list -- price Denver 2000 - 240 Union
240 Union Blvd.
Lakewood, CO 80228
Most of the wines at 240 Union come in between $20 and $30, and many cost even less, making this comfortably chic eatery even more of a good thing. The savvy cooking of chef/part-owner Matthew Franklin is fine on its own, but it's even better paired with fine wines. Select from such interesting compilations as "Cutting Edge" or "Nothing Boring," play it safe with a "Comfort Zone" red, or just pick at whim. Your glass is bound to be more than half full -- and at a fair price.

By Emily Fisher
Why we need to change the way we think about – and manage – our nation 's most important little fishes.
Here's a thought exercise: If you were to fly over the entire Pacific Ocean from west to east searching for whales, how many would you find? Probably not too many – until you arrived at the U.S. Pacific West Coast.
That's according to Oceana's Senior Director of the Pacific, Susan Murray. "The California Current ocean ecosystem off Washington, Oregon and California is a foraging hot spot. Species are coming from all over the Pacific to feed on rich little fish," she said. "It's the Serengeti of the sea."
For example, every year thousands of blue whales, humpback whales, fin whales and more flock to California's waters to feast on abundant krill, squid, sardines and anchovies.
These tiny creatures, known as "forage fish," might not be as charismatic as whales – but they are among the most important yet underappreciated marine species on Earth. They form the foundation of the marine food web and provide food for everything else larger than they are, including marine mammals, seabirds, and recreationally and commercially important fish species such as salmon and rockfish.
But these tiny fish are increasingly threatened by fishing pressure, climate change and pollution. Oceana is leading the charge in shifting the way we think about, and manage, forage fish – and in the process, paving the way for more abundant oceans and healthy coastal communities.
As a result of their key ecological role, forage fish are central to the economies of the West Coast states, supporting oceanbased tourism and recreation sectors that provide 400,000 jobs and $18 billion in revenue, according to the National Ocean Economics Program. For instance, tourists who venture to the coast for a weekend fishing trip don't simply buy fishing line and bait, they also purchase food, stay in hotels and spend money in other local businesses. By feeding larger fish, forage fish provide the foundation to keep recreational fishing a vibrant part of the economy.
There is also a direct commercial harvest of forage fish. However, many of the forage fish caught aren't even destined for human consumption. Most sardines caught on the West Coast, for instance, are fed to ranched bluefin tuna in Australia, or are sold as bait for high seas industrial longline fisheries based out of Asia. Globally, between a quarter and a third of all forage fish caught worldwide is reduced into fish meal and fish oil to feed farmed fish, pigs and chickens.
Using forage fish to feed farmed seafood species such as salmon and bluefin tuna amounts to an incredible waste of protein – anywhere from 50 to 90 percent of the value of the fish is lost, according to Murray. For example bluefin tuna require seven to 25 pounds of sardines to gain a single pound.
Meanwhile, forage fish themselves could provide healthy, sustainable protein for millions of people, in addition to the marine wildlife that depends upon them. Forage fish such as sardines are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial to eye, brain and heart health. And because they are low on the ocean food chain, they are lower in dangerous contaminants that accumulate in bigger fish, such as mercury and PCBs. Forage fish also reproduce faster and can be harvested more sustainably than many of the predator fish more commonly found on menus.
Oceana advocates a science-based, precautionary approach to forage fisheries, rather than waiting for them to become depleted before we act.
"Instead of asking how many herring we can take out of the ocean, we should ask how many of the fish do we need to leave in the ocean to support healthy wildlife, a healthy ocean, valuable fisheries, vibrant coastal economics and human consumption needs," Murray said.
If these questions aren't taken into consideration, the results could be disastrous for fisheries, wildlife and the coastal economy of the West Coast.
The California Current is a hot spot because it is characterized by strong seasonal upwelling, which occurs when winds drive cold, nutrient-rich water towards the ocean surface, replacing the warmer surface waters. The upwelling fuels the rich plankton blooms that feed the current's productive ecosystem.
There are only three other places in the world where upwellings like this occur: Peru, the Canary Islands region, and the Benguela Current off Namibia, which is a "sister ecosystem" to the California Current and serves as a cautionary tale of what can occur when forage fish are removed from the ecosystem.
When Namibia's sardine and anchovy fisheries were aggressively targeted in the early 2000s, their populations collapsed, and jellyfish invaded. Jellyfish are efficient consumers of plankton, and if given the chance, they can and will proliferate. Namibia's forage fisheries have failed to rebound. The country's hake fishery collapsed as a result, and some marine animals in the area have become endangered. Gannets, once abundant seabirds that rely on anchovies, are now teetering on the brink.
It is this bleak scenario that Oceana is working hard to prevent on the West Coast.
"If you care about a healthy ocean, if you like whales and dolphins, if you eat seafood, if you want to have healthy wildlife, then you have to think about the food for those things," Murray said. "How much is there to eat?"
Oceana's Campaign
In order to protect the ocean food web, Oceana is working at the state and federal levels to promote an ecosystem-based approach to the management of forage fish. In California, working alongside a coalition of recreational fishermen, conservation organizations, eco-tourism operators and seafood businesses, Oceana is promoting a bill to protect forage fish in state waters.
In December, after working for over five years in the regional fishery management process, Oceana filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government for failing to protect key forage species, such as jack mackerel and anchovy, from overfishing and for failing to account for ecosystem needs when setting catch levels. If Oceana prevails, for the first time the government would have to include forage species' ecological role when setting catch limits.
The U.S. has already taken some strides to protect the base of the ocean food web. In 2009, Oceana successfully secured a federal ban on establishing a fishery for krill on the West Coast – a major victory in the fight to protect the food web.

Portland Christian expanding East End facilities
Portland Christian School opened 87 years ago at 2500 Portland Avenue with an enrollment of about 80 students. Today, however, the oldest Christian school in Kentucky has evolved, adding a new East Campus and welcoming its largest enrollment in history with almost 400 students.
The new campus at 8509 Westport Road, which will instruct students in kindergarten through eighth grade, was once occupied by Mother of Good Counsel. With the help of hundreds of volunteers, including a youth group from Michigan and Sojourn Church, the 8 acres of land and five buildings on campus are almost completely renovated for the upcoming school year.
"We've had so many volunteers who've come together to paint every square inch and clean out brush," said Jodell Seay, Portland's executive director of admissions. "They've taken their own personal weeks of vacation, gave up their Fourth of July and came and painted the cafeteria. There was a work day for the church here. They had 150 people work on the grounds. We've had an additional 50 volunteers from friends of school, families and parents. It's just been unbelievable."
In addition to the support of local families, friends and churches, Portland receives an enormous amount of help from its alumni. About half of Portland's teachers are former students. Dana Brown, the director of the Portland's "Little School," graduated from Portland in 1986. She relocated to Louisville from her home in Tennessee to head Portland's first preschool, which will open this fall at the Westport Road campus.
"I had planned on moving back to Louisville, but I got the call from Jodell about the school and was here in Louisville within 48 hours," Brown said.
That kind of commitment and dedication is what has helped the school thrive throughout its 87-year history. Portland not only survived through the Great Depression and the recession of the 1970s, but also continued to exist despite its struggle in 1983, when the school was 13 weeks behind in paying its teachers. The school did not begin charging tuition until the 1985-86 school year.
In the last decade, Portland has faced a different type of challenge in finding a suitable location for its ever-expanding East Campus. The campus was first situated in Bullitt County in 2002, before relocating to Taylorsville Road and now Westport Road.
The East Campus will have a staff of about 14 teachers, not including those who will assist the preschool for children ages 18 months to 5 years.
In 2013, the high school, which is located at the Portland Avenue North Campus, will transfer to the East Campus, making it preschool through twelfth grade. The North Campus will continue to serve students in kindergarten through eighth grade.
Several of the students at Portland receive some form of financial aid. A large donor base has allowed the school to have an active scholarship program that, last year, awarded students more than $35,000 in scholarships.
"One of the great things that's happening is that we are growing and we're able to serve a really eclectic group of families," Seay said. "Financially, we work really hard to make this affordable and accessible. It's an education that is excellent and challenging, fun and rigorous, and accessible. If your family wants an excellent Christian education we want to be that partner and make that happen."
Portland will hold an open house at its Westport Road campus from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 5. For information, visit www.portlandchristian.org.

Lessee... background nebula screengrabbed from SiSi, portrait obviously from portrait capture. The Cheetah drawing is based off one of the images on the EVElopedia entry page for the ship, lineart and quickndirty coloring-in done by me, same with the engine trails. Fitting window of warp core stabilizers is also from the game, and everything else is me messing with overlay, dodge, burn, opacity settings on layers, and stuff.

Some Ways Anonymous Could Disrupt the Internet if SOPA is passed
This is a piece of science fiction. I wrote while reading Isaac Assimov's advice to writers in GOLD, while on a beach in Anjuna.
1) Identify senators, lobbyists, senior executives of companies advocating for SOPA. Go for selective targeting of these people than massive Denial of Service Attacks.
This could also include election fund raising websites in the United States.
2) Create hacking tools with simple interfaces to probe commonly known software errors, to enable wider audience including the Occupy Movement students to participate in hacking. thus making hacking more democratic. What are the top 25 errors as per http://cwe.mitre.org/cwss/
-http://www.decisionstats.com/top-25-most-dangerous-software-errors/ ?
Easy interface tools to check vulnerabilities would be the next generation to flooding tools like HOIC, LOIC – Massive DDOS atttacks make good press coverage but not so good technically
3) Disrupt digital payment mechanisms for selected targets (in step1) using tools developed in Step 2, and introduce random noise errors in payment transfers.
4) Help create a better secure internet by embedding Tor within Chromium with all tools for anonymity embedded for easy usage – a more secure peer to peer browser (like a mashup of Opera , tor and chromium).
or maybe embed bit torrents within a browser.
5) Disrupt media companies and cloud computing based companies like iTunes, Spotify or Google Music, just like virus, ant i viruses disrupted the desktop model of computing. After that offer solutions to the problems like companies of anti virus software did for decades.
6) Hacking websites is fine fun, but hacking internet databases and massively parallel data scrapers can help disrupt some of the status quo.
This applies to databases that offer data for sale, like credit bureaus etc. Making this kind of data public will eliminate data middlemen.
7) Use cross border, cross country regulatory arbitrage for better risk control of hacker attacks.
8) recruiting among universities using easy to use hacking tools to expand the pool of dedicated hacker armies.
9) using operations like those targeting child pornography to increase political acceptability of the hacker sub culture. Refrain from overtly negative and unimaginative bad Press Relations
10) If you cant convince them to pass SOPA, confuse them ;) Use bots for random clicks on ads to confuse internet commerce.
Topic Models
Some stuff on Topic Models-
In machine learning and natural language processing, a topic model is a type of statistical model for discovering the abstract "topics" that occur in a collection of documents. An early topic model was probabilistic latent semantic indexing (PLSI), created by Thomas Hofmann in 1999.[1] Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), perhaps the most common topic model currently in use, is a generalization of PLSI developed by David Blei, Andrew Ng, and Michael Jordan in 2002, allowing documents to have a mixture of topics.[2] Other topic models are generally extensions on LDA, such as Pachinko allocation, which improves on LDA by modeling correlations between topics in addition to the word correlations which constitute topics. Although topic models were first described and implemented in the context of natural language processing, they have applications in other fields such as bioinformatics.
In statistics, latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) is a generative model that allows sets of observations to be explained by unobserved groups that explain why some parts of the data are similar. For example, if observations are words collected into documents, it posits that each document is a mixture of a small number of topics and that each word's creation is attributable to one of the document's topics. LDA is an example of a topic model
David M Blei's page on Topic Models-
- a general introduction to topic modeling .
- At KDD-2011 a long tutorial about topic modeling. The slides are here .
- slides from a talk on dynamic and correlated topic models applied to the journal Science . (Here is a video of the talk.)
- a more technical review paper about this field.
- David Mimno maintains a bibliography of topic modeling papers and software.
The topic models mailing list is a good forum for discussing topic modeling.
In R,
- topicmodels and lda are two R packages for LDA analysis.

Interview Zach Goldberg, Google Prediction API
Here is an interview with Zach Goldberg, who is the product manager of Google Prediction API, the next generation machine learning analytics-as-an-api service state of the art cloud computing model building browser app.
Ajay- Describe your journey in science and technology from high school to your current job at Google.
Zach- First, thanks so much for the opportunity to do this interview Ajay! My personal journey started in college where I worked at a startup named Invite Media. From there I transferred to the Associate Product Manager (APM) program at Google. The APM program is a two year rotational program. I did my first year working in display advertising. After that I rotated to work on the Prediction API.
Ajay- How does the Google Prediction API help an average business analytics customer who is already using enterprise software , servers to generate his business forecasts. How does Google Prediction API fit in or complement other APIs in the Google API suite.
Zach- The Google Prediction API is a cloud based machine learning API. We offer the ability for anybody to sign up and within a few minutes have their data uploaded to the cloud, a model built and an API to make predictions from anywhere. Traditionally the task of implementing predictive analytics inside an application required a fair amount of domain knowledge; you had to know a fair bit about machine learning to make it work. With the Google Prediction API you only need to know how to use an online REST API to get started.
You can learn more about how we help businesses by watching our video and going to our project website.
Ajay- What are the additional use cases of Google Prediction API that you think traditional enterprise software in business analytics ignore, or are not so strong on. What use cases would you suggest NOT using Google Prediction API for an enterprise.
Zach- We are living in a world that is changing rapidly thanks to technology. Storing, accessing, and managing information is much easier and more affordable than it was even a few years ago. That creates exciting opportunities for companies, and we hope the Prediction API will help them derive value from their data.
The Prediction API focuses on providing predictive solutions to two types of problems: regression and classification. Businesses facing problems where there is sufficient data to describe an underlying pattern in either of these two areas can expect to derive value from using the Prediction API.
Ajay- What are your separate incentives to teach about Google APIs to academic or researchers in universities globally.
Zach- I'd refer you to our university relations page-
Google thrives on academic curiosity. While we do significant in-house research and engineering, we also maintain strong relations with leading academic institutions world-wide pursuing research in areas of common interest. As part of our mission to build the most advanced and usable methods for information access, we support university research, technological innovation and the teaching and learning experience through a variety of programs.
Ajay- What is the biggest challenge you face while communicating about Google Prediction API to traditional users of enterprise software.
Zach- Businesses often expect that implementing predictive analytics is going to be very expensive and require a lot of resources. Many have already begun investing heavily in this area. Quite often we're faced with surprise, and even skepticism, when they see the simplicity of the Google Prediction API. We work really hard to provide a very powerful solution and take care of the complexity of building high quality models behind the scenes so businesses can focus more on building their business and less on machine learning.

Ajay- Describe the startup story for setting up Cloudnumbers.com
Markus- In 2010 the company founders Erik Muttersbach (TU München), Markus Fensterer (TU München) and Moritz v. Petersdorff-Campen (WHU Vallendar) started with the development of the cloud computing environment. (more…)
Interview Dan Steinberg Founder Salford Systems
Here is an interview with Dan Steinberg, Founder and President of Salford Systems (http://www.salford-systems.com/ )
Ajay- Describe your journey from academia to technology entrepreneurship. What are the key milestones or turning points that you remember.
Dan- When I was in graduate school studying econometrics at Harvard, a number of distinguished professors at Harvard (and MIT) were actively involved in substantial real world activities. Professors that I interacted with, or studied with, or whose software I used became involved in the creation of such companies as Sun Microsystems, Data Resources, Inc. or were heavily involved in business consulting through their own companies or other influential consultants. Some not involved in private sector consulting took on substantial roles in government such as membership on the President's Council of Economic Advisors. The atmosphere was one that encouraged free movement between academia and the private sector so the idea of forming a consulting and software company was quite natural and did not seem in any way inconsistent with being devoted to the advancement of science.
Ajay- What are the latest products by Salford Systems? Any future product plans or modification to work on Big Data analytics, mobile computing and cloud computing.
Dan- Our central set of data mining technologies are CART, MARS, TreeNet, RandomForests, and PRIM, and we have always maintained feature rich logistic regression and linear regression modules. In our latest release scheduled for January 2012 we will be including a new data mining approach to linear and logistic regression allowing for the rapid processing of massive numbers of predictors (e.g., one million columns), with powerful predictor selection and coefficient shrinkage. The new methods allow not only classic techniques such as ridge and lasso regression, but also sub-lasso model sizes. Clear tradeoff diagrams between model complexity (number of predictors) and predictive accuracy allow the modeler to select an ideal balance suitable for their requirements.
The new version of our data mining suite, Salford Predictive Modeler (SPM), also includes two important extensions to the boosted tree technology at the heart of TreeNet. The first, Importance Sampled learning Ensembles (ISLE), is used for the compression of TreeNet tree ensembles. Starting with, say, a 1,000 tree ensemble, the ISLE compression might well reduce this down to 200 reweighted trees. Such compression will be valuable when models need to be executed in real time. The compression rate is always under the modeler's control, meaning that if a deployed model may only contain, say, 30 trees, then the compression will deliver an optimal 30-tree weighted ensemble. Needless to say, compression of tree ensembles should be expected to be lossy and how much accuracy is lost when extreme compression is desired will vary from case to case. Prior to ISLE, practitioners have simply truncated the ensemble to the maximum allowable size. The new methodology will substantially outperform truncation.
The second major advance is RULEFIT, a rule extraction engine that starts with a TreeNet model and decomposes it into the most interesting and predictive rules. RULEFIT is also a tree ensemble post-processor and offers the possibility of improving on the original TreeNet predictive performance. One can think of the rule extraction as an alternative way to explain and interpret an otherwise complex multi-tree model. The rules extracted are similar conceptually to the terminal nodes of a CART tree but the various rules will not refer to mutually exclusive regions of the data.
Ajay- You have led teams that have won multiple data mining competitions. What are some of your favorite techniques or approaches to a data mining problem.
Dan- We only enter competitions involving problems for which our technology is suitable, generally, classification and regression. In these areas, we are partial to TreeNet because it is such a capable and robust learning machine. However, we always find great value in analyzing many aspects of a data set with CART, especially when we require a compact and easy to understand story about the data. CART is exceptionally well suited to the discovery of errors in data, often revealing errors created by the competition organizers themselves. More than once, our reports of data problems have been responsible for the competition organizer's decision to issue a corrected version of the data and we have been the only group to discover the problem.
In general, tackling a data mining competition is no different than tackling any analytical challenge. You must start with a solid conceptual grasp of the problem and the actual objectives, and the nature and limitations of the data. Following that comes feature extraction, the selection of a modeling strategy (or strategies), and then extensive experimentation to learn what works best.
Ajay- I know you have created your own software. But are there other software that you use or liked to use?
Dan- For analytics we frequently test open source software to make sure that our tools will in fact deliver the superior performance we advertise. In general, if a problem clearly requires technology other than that offered by Salford, we advise clients to seek other consultants expert in that other technology.
Ajay- Your software is installed at 3500 sites including 400 universities as per http://www.salford-systems.com/company/aboutus/index.html What is the key to managing and keeping so many customers happy?
Dan- First, we have taken great pains to make our software reliable and we make every effort to avoid problems related to bugs. Our testing procedures are extensive and we have experts dedicated to stress-testing software . Second, our interface is designed to be natural, intuitive, and easy to use, so the challenges to the new user are minimized. Also, clear documentation, help files, and training videos round out how we allow the user to look after themselves. Should a client need to contact us we try to achieve 24-hour turn around on tech support issues and monitor all tech support activity to ensure timeliness, accuracy, and helpfulness of our responses. WebEx/GotoMeeting and other internet based contact permit real time interaction.
Ajay- What do you do to relax and unwind?
Dan- I am in the gym almost every day combining weight and cardio training. No matter how tired I am before the workout I always come out energized so locating a good gym during my extensive travels is a must. I am also actively learning Portuguese so I look to watch a Brazilian TV show or Portuguese dubbed movie when I have time; I almost never watch any form of video unless it is available in Portuguese.
Dan Steinberg, President and Founder of Salford Systems, is a well-respected member of the statistics and econometrics communities. In 1992, he developed the first PC-based implementation of the original CART procedure, working in concert with Leo Breiman, Richard Olshen, Charles Stone and Jerome Friedman. In addition, he has provided consulting services on a number of biomedical and market research projects, which have sparked further innovations in the CART program and methodology.
Dr. Steinberg received his Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University, and has given full day presentations on data mining for the American Marketing Association, the Direct Marketing Association and the American Statistical Association. After earning a PhD in Econometrics at Harvard Steinberg began his professional career as a Member of the Technical Staff at Bell Labs, Murray Hill, and then as Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of California, San Diego. A book he co-authored on Classification and Regression Trees was awarded the 1999 Nikkei Quality Control Literature Prize in Japan for excellence in statistical literature promoting the improvement of industrial quality control and management.
His consulting experience at Salford Systems has included complex modeling projects for major banks worldwide, including Citibank, Chase, American Express, Credit Suisse, and has included projects in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Korea, Japan and Brazil. Steinberg led the teams that won first place awards in the KDDCup 2000, and the 2002 Duke/TeraData Churn modeling competition, and the teams that won awards in the PAKDD competitions of 2006 and 2007. He has published papers in economics, econometrics, computer science journals, and contributes actively to the ongoing research and development at Salford.

Nicktoons: Freeze Frame is a video game created by Nickelodeon exclusively for the Game Boy Advance.
The plot revolves around the fact that characters from the many Nickelodeon worlds have been misplaced into each other's worlds, and Jimmy Neutron has taken into his hands the job that these characters are brought back to their own worlds. He sends out Danny Fenton, Arnold, SpongeBob, Tommy, Otto, and Timmy to take photos of the misplaced characters with his new invention, the "Neutrino-Cam 4000", a camera that also functions as a teleporter, which will send them back to their own worlds.
As the player progresses, it becomes clear that Zim is the mastermind behind the whole mess, and Jimmy soon realizes that after the player has cleared all the levels. Jimmy then flies off in his rocket to Zim's ship and stops the Irken's scheme. After taking a group photo, Zim works on his NEW plan to take over the world, making the ending sequence say, TO BE CONTINUED..

Siri (Norway)
Imagine the impossible place. A perfect sanctuary for you to improve physically and mentally. Imagine everything it would take to really be the place of your dreams. You would need the best of the best in personal trainers, sports therapists, NLP coaches, hiking guides, managers, chefs… The food would have to be great, grown locally even, and it would have to be in a beautiful setting of course, and everyone would have to be there 24/7 so you didn't have to think about anything other than yourself and your wellbeing. Sounds too good to be true, but it isn't. This is the place.
I spent two weeks here in june and I fell in love with its devotion to making people reach their full potential. NuBeginnings is all about you, your health, and your time. From the moment you arrive you are completely taken care of by extremely friendly and competent staff. The rooms in the victorian mansion are absolutely beautiful. My view was a zen-lovers dream with crooked pine trees and the town below. A gentle knock on the door wakes you up every morning. You are fed, trained, massaged, coached and nurtured. The chef prepares wonderful meals that are extremely good for you, and you will need every single one of them, because you WILL work hard. From morning to evening.
If you have zero or a hundred lbs to lose makes no difference. These people have seen everything under the sun. They are the best in their field, and they will make you feel very comfortable. At first… Then stiff, sore and proud! The workouts are brilliant fun and very varied. The full day hikes takes you all over the countryside to spectacular scenery in protected areas. You will sweat on the beach, spot wild horses on the highlands, meet unforgettable people and watch your belly shrink from day to day.
Just go. Now. I can't make it any simpler than that, and you are wasting valuable time reading reviews

Presentation slides submitted by presenters for your learning pleasure...
Shining a Light on Adjunct Faculty: Partnering to Sustain Academic Performance Through Faculty Development
Michael Cherry, Academic
Coordinator, Adult Business Programs, Lewis University
For Adult Degree Completion programs, adjunct faculty are a key success factor, yet they are often 'out of mind' because they are 'out of sight.' Recognizing the central role that adjunct faculty play, the Lewis University College of Business partnered with adjunct faculty to create a development program focused on improving teaching and learning. This presentation will discuss the elements of the program, articulate its organization, explore results of the program, and create dialogue regarding 'best practices.'
Including All Academic Departments in the Discussion: How to Build a Graduate School
M. Graeme Armstrong, Assistant Professor of Education / Master of Higher Education Administration Program Coordinator, Upper Iowa University
Jerry Poppe, Assistant Professor / Master of Public Administration Program Coordinator, Upper Iowa University
Participants will learn how a recent Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) communique to Upper Iowa University from the Higher Learning Commission was used to leverage support for graduate program governance. The session will showcase how careful and thoughtful commitment to integrity and quality decision-making, grounded in higher education practice and theory, brought about transformational institutional change. Furthermore, it will demonstrate consensus-building as a model institutional structure for both fostering and maintaining quality faculty governance.
To Do or Not to Do: The Nitty-Gritty of Online Program Development Partnerships
Marsha Ham, Associate Vice President & Dean University College, University of New Haven
Susan Kryczka, Chief Operating Officer, Educators Serving Educators, and Assistant Vice President for Extended Education, Excelsior College
Many institutions are considering partnering with outside companies to move into the online program marketplace as the way to get their online programs up and running quickly without a major capital investment. This may or may not be an ideal solution for your institution. This session will take you in depth into the strategies and the "whatyou-need-to-know" to successfully partner for entry or extension into the online degree market and to prepare your institution for this jump.
How to Develop an Accelerated Program
Dawn Spaar, CAP Chairman 2012-2013 and Associate Dean, Commission for Accelerated Learning (CAP) & Elizabethtown College
In the spirit of collaboration and partnership, this presentation will cover how a college or university can successfully offer both a traditional program and an adult degree program while incorporating the same mission and values, yet tailored to the different constituencies. Multiple years of successive growth, along with case studies from one private liberal arts college will be shared. Incorporating the research and best practices through the Commission of Accelerated Programs (CAP) will provide further insights on how to run a successful accelerated program. This session is designed for those newer to accelerated learning, or for those more experienced accelerated learning professionals who wish to gain new ideas and strategies for newer programs.
Where Have All the Men Gone? Implications for the Demise of Male Enrollment on College Campuses—A Panel Presentation and Audience Reaction
Stephen F. Gambescia, Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs, Drexel University, College of Nursing and Health Professions
Gail Heriot, Professor of Law, University of San Diego School of Law
Stephen L. DiPietro, Director of Operations for Learning Assessment & Evaluation, Drexel University, Office of the Provost
Delivering the highest level of service and creating efficiencies are critical to launching, managing, and growing your programs. Outsourcing can help you achieve both, but at what cost? When partnering to support the launch or growth of your continuing education online degree programs, there are key areas you should control and other important components your partner should own. Learn how to divide and conquer, enabling your teams to do what they do best so you can effectively support more prospects and students while also protecting your tuition revenue.
Increasing Outreach through Innovative Partnering in the ' New Normal'
Diane Altwies, CEO, Division of Conitinuing Education, Core Performance Concepts
William O'Connor, Director, Stetson University
Have you heard people say they want to get back to 'normal' after the economic shocks organizations have received in the last several years? The truth is that the old ways of managing won't work. The 'New Normal' phenomenon is characterized by constant change which requires a transformation in what and how you direct your organization's activities. This session focuses on what the 'New Normal' means to continuing education organizations and universities in general. Attendees will take away insights and best practices on choosing and managing vendor partnerships to deliver new programs that provide revenue to the university within the first year.
2009 Alex Charters Research Grant Presentation:
When Worlds Collide or "And They Lived Happily Ever After"
Karl Stevens, Director of Online & Distance Education, Southern Utah University
Recipient of a 2009 ACHE Alex Charters Research Grant, Karl Stevens will present a summary of his doctoral research, which focuses on the relationships between technical staff and professors during the online course development process. This process brings together individuals with widely varying backgrounds, experiences, and philosophies. Stevens qualitative research examines the interpersonal relationships among those participants in the online course development process and how they affect the development process.
Obtaining Resources for Growth & Fiscal Viability
Bill Duffy, Senior Vice President, Upper Iowa University
Obtaining resources to support program growth and fiscal viability for extended campus offerings remains a challenge for most institutions. This session will provide suggestions and methods to obtain resources for credit and non-credit programs, centers, and online offerings by using your institution's strategic plan, metrics for growth, and a concise budget analyses your CFO can understand and support. The session also identifies numerous areas in extended campus offerings that are often overlooked by senior administrators when considering the institution's mission accomplishment and fiscal decisions.
We met our goal! Thanks to everyone who gave!

What many people don't realize is that the Confederacy was actually a nation for four or five short years. It's capital was Montgomery, and the states consisted of Southern slave states, namely anything south and west of Virginia. Therefore, the Civil War was not actually a civil war. It was a war between two nations.
Now the Sudan civil wars were civil wars, but the American Civil War was not. It was two nations fighting, one believing in slavery, and one not. Further proof of this is it contradicts the fact a civil war is fought internally in one nation. Some battles were in the Union, Gettysburg for example. Others were in the Confederate states, like at Fort Sumter.
