Foreign Language Courses, Free Online
Thanks to Lifehacker for the pointer to the U.S. Foreign Service Institute langauge courses online. They're free and available at http://fsi-language-courses.org/Content.php. Unfortunately I wasn't the only one who saw this announcement — not by a long shot. Apparently traffic from Lifehacker overwhelmed the site's servers and the site had taken down some downloadable materials, though every language I looked at had at least PDFs of course material available.
The site covers 41 languages, from Amharic to Yoruba. Pick a language from the list on the left, click it, and you'll get a list of student materials on the right. (In the case of the screen shot I chose Bulgarian.) There's student texts (available in PDF) and teaching tapes (available in MP3.) There was almost no annotation for the materials. To stop the site from being overloaded again, you may wish to just download one section or text at a time.
If there's not enough here, check the OffSite page where you will get pointers to other language lessons, including Polish, Persian, and Dari.
If that's REALLY not enough, you may wish to explore the following sites for more free language lessons:

CIA Gives World Factbook a Makeover
This is how much of a nerd I am: I have the CIA World Factbook on my Kindle. Pretty nerdy, huh? But it's not a bad thing; I've been fascinated with the Factbook for years. So much information. So easily navigable. Recently the CIA announced what it called "the first major redesign of the Factbook site in over a decade."
The Factbook is still available at https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/index.html. The front page looks a lot different, with a color-coded Flash map (zoom in to the region in which you're interested and pick a country) and quick links to things like a gallery of flags of the world.
But what I'm really interested in is the country information. I took a look at Iceland. The country's information page starts with a flag of the country, a geographic context map, and then a closer map of the country itself. A few feature of the site makeovers is country photos, though not all the countries have them (currently Iceland has 14 photographs. All country photos in the Factbook are in the public domain and there is a link for image downloads.)
Beneath this initial data you'll find the categories of information provided on each country: introduction, geography, people, government, etc. I hate that these are all "collapsed" by default. Look for the "Expand All" link and you can uncollapse all of them at the same time. You'll see that there are lots of data fields here, covering everything from the economy to the literacy rate to natural hazards to number of airports.
One of the new features of the Factbook is that many of the data fields now contain world rankings. So looking at Iceland's life expectancy at birth, I can see that it's 80.67 years for the total population, but I can also see it ranks 14th in the world. If I click on the 14 I can get the full ranking of all countries for this statistic (Macau ranks #1 in case you wondered.)
If you just want to get a list of a single data point for all countries, look for the "Field Listing" icon to the right of each data heading. This'll give you all countries in alphabetical order. This is handy when you want to get an overview for unrankable information like natural resources or international disputes.
The CIA World Factbook updates every two weeks, which I keep having to remind myself is NOT slow in the age of Wikipedia. No it isn't. There's also a "changelog" of sorts available at https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/docs/whatsnew.html. This'll give you information on both broad changes (census data being entered) and some country-based changes (leadership changing, etc.)
I'm not a big fan of lots of Flash, and I personally would have the categories uncollapsed, but the site has seemed to strike a good balance between adding more data and functionality without making things either overly-complicated or heavy to load. (And if you DO find it too heavy to load, there's a low-bandwidth text-based version that dispenses with the Flash and the graphics and loads like lightning in my browser.)

You know what, though? Texas looked terrible. I actually feel better, if anything. Really! (Sort of)
MVPs of the series, by win probability added:
Most significant play in each game:
Playoff odds before the series: 25 percent
Playoff odds after the series: 23 percent
What we learned:
• They say of a team like the Angels that nobody wants to face them in the postseason. Sure, the offense isn't much and the bullpen is shaky and who even knows who the fourth starter is anymore, but we tend to focus most of our attention on the next day's starting pitcher. This is rational. Weaver and Haren (and Santana) are likely to throw something like 70 percent of the Angels' innings in a short series, so their role is clearly magnified, and nobody wants to face Weaver and Haren (and Santana?) in a short series. Great.
The problem, though, is that great pitchers have bad starts, too, especially against great offenses, and the Angels don't have much of a team around them to win those games. The Angels are 4-11 when they give up four runs. They're 13-22 when they give up four or five runs. They're 13-26 when they give up four, five or six runs. The Angels have one way to win. They have about eight ways to lose.
• All that said, the Angels went into Texas, where the odds say they'll lose two out of three most of the time, and they lost two out of three. Their playoff odds dropped only two percentage points, which tells you that this outcome was already accounted for in the simulations. Jered Weaver got hit hard, but Jered Weaver was pitching on short-rest. Ervin Santana looked bad, but Ervin Santana was pitching on short rest. Does this tell us anything about the Angels? Not really. We already knew that pitchers on short rest don't pitch well.
• Three significant magic necklace developments. First:

Live In The Vocal Booth| Being Judgemental - A State of Superior Airs or Self Hate? Artist Review| Marvin Sapp - I Win| Special Guest J. KingdomSunday, 29 April 2012 11:29
Artist Review: Marvin Sapp
Marvin Sapp was introduced to the gospel community by Fred Hammond as a six year member of the vocal group Commissioned. "I am a preacher - called by God - who happens to sing," is the way he defines his ministry - which was given its official blessing upon his receiving of the Doctor of Divinity Degree from Aenon Bible College and the Doctor of Ministry Degree from Friends International Christian University. Sapp's previous releases as a solo artist are the self-titled Marvin Sapp (his solo debut for Word Records – 1996); Grace & Mercy: Live (1997); Nothing Else Matters (1999); I Believe (his 2002 Verity debut); Diary of a Psalmist (2003); Be Exalted (2005) and Thirsty (2007).
When he isn't spreading the word of God through over 200 preaching and speaking engagements a year, Sapp ministers at The Lighthouse Full Life Center Church in Grand Rapids, where he is senior pastor. By 2012, he hopes to have built a 1,500 seat sanctuary connecting to "FLC." His ultimate goal: to encourage Believers to elevate their level of worship and praise.

Tonight's Topic: Being Judgmental- A State of Superior Airs or A State of Self-hate?
Have you ever encountered a person that can just point out everything you do wrong or are struggling with? Often times this person could be a friend, family member or a coworker. This individual may have a critical spirit or a genuine desire to help you improve your short comings. Whatever the reason good or bad how do you feel when they approach you? Are you able to receive the criticism? Do you see their short comings and complexly reject the whole encounter as hypocrisy. Could it be the very thing the person is trying to correct in you is the thing they despise in themselves?
Tonight the 'Live in the Vocal Booth Team" will discusses being Judgmental and how it can effects all involved..
Special Guest: J. Kingdom (aka Pastor Michael J.T. Fisher)
J. Kingdom became the Pastor of the Greater Zion Church Family at the young age of 26! Over the years, he has become known throughout the community and abroad for his ability to reach and reform troubled youth and young adults. Mothers, fathers and the many Grandparents's who have been left to care for their teen grand children often call upon him to help re-direct their troubled youth. Fisher has taken the once small Church in Compton from approximately 400 members to more than 4500! That's huge in COMPTON!
The Greater Zion Church Family is located in Compton, CA and is literally nestled in between two rivalry gang territories. Fisher has experienced great success in changing/saving the lives of many of them by spending time with them, counseling, listening and providing a platform for them to express themselves through the arts. Fisher believes that there are so many young talented people who just need a platform to express their frustrations. They just want someone to hear and understand their plight and their struggles in hopes to finding a solution. And that is when Pastor Fisher does his best work, offering them the keys to a better life and a divinely intended destiny! He helps them find the "Champion" within themselves. (hence, the album title "Champion").
In 2010, Fisher lead the Voices of Destiny, a 50+ voice choir to a highly publicized sweeping victory in the national competition of Verizon's How Sweet the Sound Contest. People were AMAZED to find out that not only was this a group of talented young people but many of its members were reformed gang members, drug dealers, drug users, delinquent's and high school drop outs. Many had spent time in juvenile hall or had been arrested at some point in their young lives. The win opened up doors for them that they could have never imagined and they are still riding that wave of success to date.
Some of the shows they have been featured on include: BET Celebration of Gospel, the Official Super Bowl Gospel Celebration, Pan African Film Festival, NBA All Star Gospel Brunch Children's Mending Hearts w/Ben Affleck, DIVAS Simply Singing w/Sheryl Lee Ralph, the Today's Show, NBC Nightly News, CNN, KTLA Black History Special, KTLA Morning News, Jet Magazine, EURweb, The Examiner.com and more.
The choir used the winnings from How Sweet the Sound to complete the first youth center in South Compton, CA and they remain extremely active in the community helping to rescue other youth's and young adults from their toxic environments. They offer tutoring, counseling, STD testing and a place to belong with a large family that cares about every area of their lives!

Live In The Vocal Booth Artist Review: Amber Bullock - So In Love| Tonight's Topic: Who Holds The Power in Romantic Relationships: Men vs. WomenSunday, 15 July 2012 13:57
Artist Review: AMBER BULLOCK
Music World Gospel recording artist Amber Bullock, soared to the top of the gospel music charts after capturing the hearts of millions as she topped a talented field of singers to become the 2011, Season 4 winner of BET's Sunday Best, the #1 rated weekly gospel music competition show. Her debut CD project, Thank You, was released in December, 2011, on Mathew Knowles' Music World Gospel label. The EP entered at #1 on Billboard's Top Gospel Albums chart. Thank You featured the Top 10 Billboard hit, "Thank You Lord," a rendition of Walter Hawkins' anthem as well as other contemporary classic songs.
Bullock, the St. Louis native and single mother of three-year old Amya, is building a diverse fan base with her signature jazz-infused and neo-soul inspired style. Her unique approach to gospel and inspirational music is front and center on her sophomore CD project, So In Love, which will be available in stores and online everywhere on July 10, 2012.
So In Love is produced by PJ Morton for 2PM Music. Bullock describes their musical partnership as a "match made in heaven." The result is ten songs of feel-good inspirational music that ranges in style from neo-soul, to jazz, to contemporary gospel, to reggae, with even a little country thrown in. The songs on the CD highlight Bullock's incredible vocal range and her unique singing style.
"I love music, so I don't want to just give my listeners the same type of music that's already out there," says Bullock. "I want to give them fresh, memorable songs that they are still humming long after the song has finished playing, the kind of songs you keep on repeat." On her new CD, she does just that.
Bullock wrote her first single, "Lord You've Been So Good" with a friend, when she was in college. The song was updated for this CD project with the help of PJ Morton. The upbeat, neo-soul style song features a driving horn section and shows off Bullock's wide range and effortless runs. "Done For Me," was also written by Bullock, with Shaun Martin, Greg Brown and Kirk Franklin, who is featured on this song. It has a catchy tune and a powerful message about God's unconditional love. Bullock goes reggae in "I'm So In Love with You," which was penned by PJ Morton. "Second Chances," is a contemporary gospel song that Bullock describes as "dramatic" with instrumentation that features strings and an organ. The song reminds the listener that God's love and forgiveness are great gifts to us. "Changed," written by PJ Morton and featuring Isaac Carree, has a contemporary gospel style and a memorable hook. "My daughter sings along with this song every time she hears it," says Bullock.
The R&B style "Yes," starts with drums and keeps on pumping energy. The song, written by PJ Morton, is one of Bullock's favorite on the CD because of both the catch tune and the message. "Yes is a powerful word," she says. Written by Juante Hall and Jonathan Dunn, "Nobody Else" has jazzy undertones and a message about going to a secret place to meet only with God. "Take it Back," written by Josiah Martin, reminds us that everything we do or have comes from God. That message is delivered in a pop style song with techno-rock undertones. "Ruler" is a contemporary praise and worship song that Bullock describes as "a little bit country." Bullock continues, "My most powerful worship experience is when I'm focused on how powerful and loving God is, and how He keeps blessing me, even when I don't deserve it." The last song on the CD, "Same God," was written by Bullock and Shaun Martin. It's a simple but powerful worship song that acknowledges the faithfulness of God.

Tonight's Topic: Trading Hate & Malice For Forgiveness & Mercy|Special Guest Host: Comedian Chris G| Artist Review: J Moss - V4...The Other SideSunday, 05 August 2012 16:31
Artist Review: J MOSS
"Bein' bad ain't a place for a winner / Nothin' good ever comes to a quitter /
I'ma be the one still movin' / You gon' be the one boo-hooin' / I hope you're not wishin' nothin' bad on me / 'Cuz you're messin' with Anointed Pedigree!"
– J Moss (from "Imma Do It")
Singer/Songwriter/Producer J Moss is on-fire like never before! He's come through the storm packing an electrifying testimony about how to thrive victorious on "the other side" of adversity. His 13-song gospel soul food smorgasbord titled V4: The Other Side (Moss' fourth CD for Verity Records) finds Moss and his PAJAM partners delivering the trailblazing techno funk praise that always sets him apart from the pack, as well as more traditional pieces that will touch the hearts of all who hear. Special guests on V4 include Kierra Sheard; Karen Clark Sheard; Hezekiah Walker; Dorinda Clark-Cole and James Fortune.
"We turned the feel-good energy up this time around…way up," Moss declares. "I'm getting away from sad songs. I am no longer the spokesperson for trials and tribulations. This is post-storm time – taking damage into account, while looking ahead for new starts and fresh directions. This record is a clear reflection of my life and where I am at this very moment."
The album opens with "God's Got It," a straight forward message stating not to worry about what he can't control – trust God. "Caught Up in Love" mesmerizes with a heartbeat pulse and a vibration of pure rapture. Meanwhile "Keep Your Head Up" and "Shout" are easily among the most crunk of J's praise jams to date, high celebrations of hand-clappin' sanctified pulpit testifyin'. "In spite of setbacks and challenges like the recession, the election, crime - it's time that we get glad about life again," J insists. "When we take the focus off of God, he has to do stuff to reel us in. We must maintain our faith in God at all times and celebrate Him."
The first single from J Moss' V4: The Other Side is "Good & Bad," a fervent ballad buoyed by subtly jazzy chord changes and building to a big-big finish. "The mindset of hopelessness that is so prevalent today was the inspiration behind this song," J shares. "People think God and church no longer care. 'Jesus ain't thinkin' about me.' I got tired of reading that on Facebook and seeing it in faces of the people all around me. People just want to give up, and the Lord gave me that song to give people hope during stormy times.
This is a theme Moss returns to again and again on V4: The Other Side. On "Take Me," J addresses the question 'Does God hear me? Have I strayed too far away?' "God doesn't run from us, we stray from him," J assures. "In your quiet time, think about where you are personally. Talk to your Father and restate your position. Sometimes we just get too far away from the fire…not reading the word every day. We need to get back to a more comfortable place."

How do you let go of hate, anger, malice or a grudge? How do you get to a place of forgiveness when you feel someone has hurt you or victimized you? Is it possible for a person to forgive a murderer of a loved one or for a rape victim to forgive their rapist? What about the hurtful things that happen between family members, co workers or friends? Tonight Live in the Vocal Booth we discuss trading hate or malice for forgiveness and mercy can it be done?

Should You Tell Your Mate Bout All Your Past Relationships and How Much Info Is Too Much?| Special Guest: Singer Heather WalkerThursday, 30 August 2012 17:09
Tonight Topic: Should you tell your mate about all your past relationships and how much information is too much information for them to handle?
I often wonder if I ever expose to much of myself to soon in a relationship, by simply just being me. Can you tell to much to soon and can that cause your new love to judge you on your past relationships with others? Do you sometimes wish you never told them what happened with your Ex because now they have something to throw up in your face if you two have a heated argument?
Can exposure of past relationships make your new relationship a target for disaster if your new love has insecurities that may be bought out by your need to free yourself?
Let's Talk About it and Share!

Live In The Vocal Booth Artist Review: Le'Andria Johnson - The ExperienceSunday, 23 September 2012 19:43
Artist Review: Le'Andria Johnson
Music World Gospel recording artist Le'Andria Johnson has taken the gospel music scene by storm since being crowned the season three winner of BET's Sunday Best in 2010. Her debut CD, The Awakening of Le'Andria Johnson, entered at #1 on multiple music charts, including both the Billboard Top Gospel Albums and the Top Christian/Gospel Albums charts. The CD also debuted at #1 on the Christian Music Trade Association's Current Gospel Overall chart. It spent eight weeks at #1 on Billboard's Top Gospel Albums chart, and remains in the Top 5 for over 15 weeks. Le'Andria received her first GRAMMY® nomination for Best Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music performance for her debut single, "Jesus." She also released a Christmas CD, Christmas Best, which is sure to become a part of the holiday collections that are brought out year after year during the Christmas season.
Most recently, Le'Andria won Best Female Gospel Artist of 2011 for the First Annual Digital Gospel Music Awards—produced by Interactive One/Elev8.com. Le'Andria was nominated in the same category as Yolanda Adams, CeCe Winans, Maurette Brown-Clark, Martha Munizzi, Kim Burrell, Karen Clark Sheard, Dorinda Clark Cole, Beverly Crawford, and Lisa Page Brooks.
Now Music World Gospel is releasing two new CD projects from Le'Andria: The Awakening of Le'Andria Johnson Deluxe Edition and an EP, The Evolution of Le'Andria Johnson. The deluxe edition contains the seven songs released on her debut CD plus seven new songs. The seven new songs are also being released as an EP, The Evolution of Le'Andria Johnson. Both CDs will be available in stores and online everywhere on February 14.
The Awakening of Le'Andria Johnson Deluxe Edition, which features songs with styles that range from traditional/contemporary gospel to R&B, showcases Le'Andria's unique combination of power, skill and reverence that makes her a popular recording artist and an inspirational performer. New songs on the CD and the EP, The Evolution of Le'Andria Johnson, include, "It's Gonna Be Alright," a high energy urban contemporary song, written and produced by Stanley Brown, in which she assures the listener that even when things seem difficult, God is standing by and things are going to be alright; and "He Was There," a song that reminds us that God is there waiting for us to come to Him, written by Gary Paxton and Andrea Martin, and produced by Stanley Brown. In the soulful "Let It Go," written and produced by Raphael Saadiq, Taura Stinson and Sara Devine, Le'Andria encourages people to let go of their burdens and let God handle them. She goes back to her traditional gospel roots in "Sooner Or Later," an uplifting song about God turning your life around, written by Hubert Powell III and produced by Brandon "B.A.M." Alexander and H. Doobie Powell for Chip Off The Block Productions. "He First Loved Me," an R&B style song of praise, was written by Le'Andria and her brother, Michael, who is a featured singer on the track. Le'Andria also recorded a full-length version of the popular song, "I Shall Leap," which she wrote with her other brother, Terrance Johnson. Le'Andria performed this inspirational song after being crowned the winner of Sunday Best. "Overtaken" rounds out the seven new offerings on the deluxe CD and the EP. Written and produced by Eric Dawkins, it is an upbeat song of praise for the way her life has changed since God took it over.
The Awakening of Le'Andria Johnson Deluxe Edition also features her GRAMMY-nominated single, "Jesus," co-written by Le'Andria. An urban contemporary song, with traditional gospel roots, it offers Le'Andria's soulful and stirring testimony about the difference Jesus has made in her life, and her impassioned plea to the listener to turn to Jesus and "call Him like you want Him, call Him like you need him." Other songs on the CD include "Cast The First Stone," a midtempo song with a memorable, contemporary tune and a powerfully delivered message about how wrong it is to pass judgment on each other, also co-written by Le'Andria; "Make Him Like You," an R&B-style petition to God to lead her toward the true love that He designed for her; "New Reason," a new millennium twist on 1960s soul, with a message about turning from bad relationships to a new and better relationship with God; and "Struggle Not," co-written by Le'Andria and Terrance Johnson, a spiritually uplifting and compelling worship song about God's blessings in our lives. The Awakening of Le'Andria Johnson Deluxe Edition also includes two tracks with medleys of songs performed by Le'Andria on Sunday Best. The first medley combines her roof-raising rendition of Quincy Jones and Andraé Crouch's "God Is Trying To Tell You Something," from the Broadway musical, The Color Purple, and her fresh take on Fred Hammond's (Commissioned) hit song, "Running Back To You." In the second medley, Le'Andria puts her spin on Myron Butler and Levi's pop-style hit, "Set Me Free," and offers a heartfelt rendition of "I Shall Leap."
Le'Andria is enjoying critical acclaim and tremendous success, but for the 29-year-old, twice divorced mother of three, it has been a long and often arduous journey to the spotlight in the gospel music industry. An accomplished singer and songwriter and an anointed praise and worship leader, Le'Andria was born in Orlando, Florida and began singing and performing for her family at two years old. When she was four, the family moved to the small town of Palatka, Florida, where she lived until she returned to Orlando in 2003. Her father, Dr. G.A. Johnson, Sr., served as presiding Bishop of the Head Quarters (HQ) Ministries. She began singing at her father's church at the age of six and became praise and worship leader when she was 16. Throughout her childhood and teen years, Le'Andria sang in school choruses and in community talent shows. At 17, she had her first performance before a major audience when she sang for 8,000 people at a conference sponsored by gospel legend Pastor Shirley Caesar. She also sang with gospel artists Luther Barnes, Jimmy Hicks and Voices of Integrity and the Williams Brothers, as well as at churches in Southern Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.
She is now signed to Music World Gospel in a joint venture with BET's Sunday Best brand. She has moved to Houston, Texas, and is busy ministering her music on television, radio, and live performances across the country. She recently was featured in the Jacksonville, Florida run of T.J. Hemphill's play, Perilous Times II, with Music World label mate and Sunday Best alumna Andrea Helms.
Le'Andria is thrilled with the reception of her debut project, and she is excited about the new songs on her forthcoming projects. A licensed minister, Le'Andria believes that singing is her God-given talent, but that ministry is her calling. As she ministers through music, she hopes that her songs will continue to make a difference in people's lives.

Live In The Vocal Booth Artist Review: The Rance Allen Group - Amazing Grace| Topic: Is The Modern Day Black American Angry About Slavery Or Does He Even Care?Saturday, 12 January 2013 19:24
Tonight on the Live In The Vocal Booth Show we rate and review The Rance Allen Group latest release Amazing Grace. The Rance Allen Group consists of three members Bishop Rance Allen, Steve Allen and Thomas Allen. Followed by another hot topic: Is The Modern Day Black American Angry About Slavery or Does He Even Care?
Artist Review: The Rance Allen Group
The Rance Allen Group is a gospel music group formed in Monroe, Michigan, and based in Toledo, Ohio. The group's incorporation of rock and soul into traditional gospel music prefigures the crossover success of such artists as Amy Grant, Andrae Crouch, and The Winans.
The Rance Allen Group was formed by vocalist, guitarist, pianist, and songwriter Rance Allen (b. Monroe, Michigan) with his brothers Tom (drums) and Steve (bass guitar); another brother, Esau (percussionist), joined the group on an intermittent basis. During an appearance at a gospel talent contest in Detroit, Michigan, they came to the attention of one of the judges, record promoter Dave Clark, who worked for Stax Records.
The group was the first to be signed to the Stax imprint Gospel Truth, and they recorded for the Stax organization throughout the 1970s. In 1972, the group appeared in the documentary film Wattstax. Following this appearance, the group was named "Best Religious Group" by the National Association of Television and Radio Announcers (NATRA). David Porter co-produced the group's 1975 album A Soulful Experience, for which he wrote an autobiographical song, "Just Found Me". In 1978, the group had a Top 30 R&B hit, "I Belong to You."

Topic: IS THE MODERN DAY BLACK AMERICAN ANGRY ABOUT SLAVERY OR DOES HE EVEN CARE?
With the holiday past,BET played a marathon of the classic mini series "Roots" Some people reflected positively, others said they didn't need to be reminded of the Afro Americans plight. Django has Black America upside down, some love it others hate the film.
Where does black America 2013 stand as far as slavery? Do we remember where we come from or does the new generation even care? Where does white America stand? Seems like more of white America was in the theaters than Black America. Every other race embraces their past whether good or bad but there is an increasing thought that modern Black America can do without seeing the tragedy and horror story of slavery, but WHY?
