Black Voices of Inspiration (BVOI)
The Purdue Black Voices of Inspiration (BVOI) is an exceptional choir dedicated to the performance of Sacred Anthemic Hymns by Black composers. Since 1975, the BVOI has developed into a versatile choral -ensemble. Their repertoire consists of traditional Negro Spirituals, contemporary Gospel Music, and popular songs of inspiration. The Black Voices of Inspiration is an ideal attraction for church and civic events. They have performed throughout Indiana and its neighboring states. The choir has participated in exchange programs with Hampton Institute, Indiana State University, University of Louisville and University of Illinois-Urbana. The spirit of The Black Voices of Inspiration will fill you with sweeping emotion.
Established in the fall of 1975, the BVOI is sponsored by the Purdue University Black Cultural Center, which is committed to the performance of the music of African Americans. The primary objectives of the choir are to promote African American culture through the medium of music in various genres. Their repertoire includes traditional Negro spirituals, traditional and contemperary gospel music and pop-soul ballads. The choir is diverse with a roster ranging from freshmen to graduate students representing various academic disciplines at Purdue University. By reinforcing a positive sense of cultural identity and self worth, the choir provides an outlet for spiritual and educational fulfillment for its members.
Since it's inception in 1975, the BVOI have become the most widely respected gospel choir in the area. The choir has won several awards of excellence and toured extensively throughout the state of Indiana, visiting other university campuses, metropolitan churches, civic organizations and elementary schools. The BVOI serves as goodwill ambassadors for Purdue University at many university and community events.
The rich and forceful sound of the BVOI and along with their inspiring interpretations of spirituals often move audiences to tears of joy. BVOI's music builds bridges by bringing people of different religious and political convictions together to revel in the beauty of gospels and to appreciate the warm spirit of the music. The choir concentrates on presenting the music of African American composers such as William Dawson, Jester Hariston, Thomas Dorsey and James Cleveland in its performances. Also, notable artists such as William Warfield and Mattie Moss Clark have performed with this powerful choir.
The newly acquired fall, 2004 - spring, 2005 artist in residence, Twana A. Harris, Indianapolis, will be responsible for conducting weekly master choral classes and preparing the ensemble for performance engagements. She will assist ensemble participants in gaining an understanding and appreciation for the African-American experience through music. "We are very pleased that such a talented, experienced and energetic artist and director has accepted this position," said Renee Thomas, director of the Black Cultural Center. "Her vitality and vision, combined with the talented students under her direction, will make a musical partnership that will benefit all who come to listen." Harris has served as director of choirs at Arlington High School in Indianapolis for the past three years, conducting three ensembles. The Arlington choir recently released a CD entitled "Just the Beginning" that was written, played and performed by Harris and the student choir. She earned a bachelor's degree in music education at Lincoln University and is pursuing a graduate degree at Christian Theological Seminary. In addition to teaching, her professional experience includes 15 years as a composer and arranger. She also has directed gospel choirs for the church and community, teaches piano and voice, and has experience in studio recording. Harris is a member of the American Choral Directors Association and the Music Educators Association. She is a recipient of the Vocal Extravaganza in Black Solo Award, an honor received in a competition among black university choirs and soloists.
The Purdue BVOI is sponsored by the Black Cultural Center. They are available for concert appearances for schools, churches and civic organizations. A performance fee is required to cover expenses. Persons interested in engaging the BVOI are encouraged to confirm arrangements at least three months in advance. As a reminder, the BVOI is available in October, November, February and March.

I do not favor any new taxes; whether those for the great tax sinkhole of public education, that never cries "it is enough"; or any other supposedly worthy purpose. Right-to-work; as a former state employee (not Oregon) I rejoiced when I no longer had to support the corrupt employee union leadership and its illegal confiscation of part of my paycheck: Particularly since those funds were used to support the political campaigns of liberal legislators who backed the union leaders!
And whether we're taxing the "rich", i.e. those terrible people who make more money than our legislators, or taxing a business... Don't people get it? If you tax businesses or their owners the public pays the tax through price increases. The business owner simply passes on the costs associated with the new tax.
So I'm 100% in favor of the "unpleasantness" of the initiative process and citizens getting involved even if it upsets the Governor's plans. Of course since I disagree with the editorial I'm just a political hack, I wear the name proudly!
Partisan politics? -- partisanship is the fuel that drives the political parties. As soon as it's convenient (or necessary), someone will throw a political Molotov at the opposite isle, and it's on again!

Had these earbuds before and enjoyed them. Great bass that comes out of a small package. As with any earbuds with this design, don't expect them to last forever. But if you're careful with them, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to use them for a long time. Well worth the inexpensive price you pay for them. I just bought two more, so I have a spare set whenever the first one stops working.

I'm horribly afraid of deep, dark water. I just know something will reach in and drag me down. I have an irrational fear of Sharks being inside of swimming pools. Don't have any idea why because I know i isn't possible but I've freaked myself out to the point that I almost drowned in pool once because I convinced myself in my mind that a shark was gonna pop out of the grate against the wall.ReplyDelete
The weirdest phobia I have is really hard to explain. Sometimes if I look at something that has a texture I don't like, I feel like I'm going to vomit and I cannot look at ti at all. Pinatas do it. Like, when a lot of concentric circles are lined up next to each other like fish scales or stuff... I feel sick thinking about it.
Your phobias sound exactly like my sister. Don't worry, girl. You aren't alone.

Hahaha my best friend has exactly the same phobia about textures, she can't even see spores or jelly stuff like that from the sea.., you're not alone either :)Delete
In my case it is quite the opposite. I USED to have way too many obsessions and mental disorders (you know me, i don't need to tell you this haha). But it has been like a year since I've been the most regular, ordinary, non-obsessive person in the world. My mind is focused now and it wasn't before. The funny thing is though that i miss it...and i am not entirely sure if i like being "normal". I guess we all change with time, i just hope i am changing in the right direction. :)ReplyDelete

Trauma Center Intervention for Alcohol Disorders
An Evidence-Based Practice
The Trauma Center Intervention for Alcohol disorders is a brief intervention regarding alcohol use for patients involved in motor vehicle collisions. Drivers and passengers who have been admitted to the hospital for more than 24 hours after an injury resulting from a motor vehicle collision are eligible for the program if they had an admission blood alcohol content of more than 80 mg/dL or an Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test score of more than 8. The brief intervention consisted of a 30-minute discussion in the patient's room with a social worker or trauma surgeon. The conversation consists of a non-confrontational, patient-centered discussion to discuss how alcohol use has affected the patient's life. The intervention uses the participant's experiences to boost self-efficacy to make change.
Goal / Mission
The goal of the Trauma Center Intervention for Alcohol Disorders is to reduce driving under the influence.
Results / Accomplishments
A randomized controlled trial compared intervention participants with patients receiving the standard care, along with a list of telephone numbers for alcohol treatment organizations near their home. In the three years following hospital discharge, 14 of 64 patients (21.9%) in the standard care group had an arrest for DUI compared with only 7 of 62 patients (11.3%) in the intervention group. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the intervention was the strongest protective factor against DUI arrest (odds ratio 0.32; 95% confidence interval 0.11-0.96). The absolute risk reduction indicates that one DUI arrest is prevented for every nine patients treated.

4,000 gather to celebrate life of Apostolic's Bishop Brazier
BY MAUDLYNE IHEJIRIKA Staff Reporter
Michelle Obama, White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and Susan Sher, Mrs. Obama's chief of staff, are among the 4,000 mourners at Bishop Arthur M. Brazier's funeral Friday.
Article Extras
Filling the South Side megachurch he built on the edge of his beloved Woodlawn to capacity, thousands of mourners, from the powerful to the destitute, turned out Friday to celebrate the life of Bishop Arthur M. Brazier.
"My father, without being or appearing bragadocious, was a great man," said his son, the Rev. Byron T. Brazier, to whom Bishop Brazier passed the mantle of pastor of the famous Apostolic Church of God, 6320 S. Dorchester, two years ago.
And over the course of two hours, it was clear at the funeral service that seemed befitting of a head of state -- first lady Michelle Obama sat in the second row before the casket -- that Brazier's son had no need to brag.
Any praise he heaped upon his father was more than echoed by the words of dignitaries from President Obama, who heaped accolades in a video tribute; to Obama's senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, who addressed mourners about the preacher, activist and community developer she called "my friend."
"The first lady is here today. Why- Because she loved him, and he touched her heart so deeply as he did so many others," Jarrett said of Bishop Brazier, who died of prostate cancer on Oct. 22 at age 89. "He was a great man, a good man."
More than 4,000 mourners filled the sanctuary of Apostolic to say goodbye to the man who took over a small indebted church of 100 members at 63rd and Kimbark in 1960 and grew it into a 22,000-member house of worship on a mortgage-free, 12-acre campus over the course of 48 years. Thousands more reportedly filled two overflow rooms of the expansive facility.
U.S. Senators Dick Durbin and Roland Burris, Gov. Quinn and Mayor Daley, trumpeted the achievements of the man who recognized early on a need to be actively involved in the city's civic life, starting his community work under the tutelage of famed community organizer Saul Alinsky, and founding The Woodlawn Organization in 1961.
"On behalf of the Daley family and all of the citizens of Chicago, I extend my condolences," said an emotional Daley.
"He was a man who never knew an obstacle or barrier in his life. He always knew he could get around it," said Daley. "He was a counselor and adviser to me. I cannot say goodbye to him. He is still with me, in my mind, in my heart, in my soul."
Brazier secured his place in history, the political leaders said, by helping to bring the Rev. Martin Luther King to Chicago in 1966 to protest against housing and education segregation; by teaching community development to groups across the country during the many years he worked for the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Community Change, and by helping transform the East Woodlawn and North Kenwood-Oakland areas as founder of the Woodlawn Preservation and Investment Corp. and Fund for Community Redevelopment and Revitalization.
"He built the longest-standing political organization in the country," the Rev. Jesse Jackson said of TWO.
In so doing, Brazier "charted a course from Woodlawn to the White House, from Woodrow Wilson to Barack Obama," Jackson said.
Jackson was joined by two other speakers, the Rev. Leon Finney, whom Brazier recruited to work at and eventually take over TWO, and the U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, also a minister, in commending Brazier's ability to walk the preacher/activist line.
But in the end, the man who wielded enough political clout to tear down the 63rd Street Elevated and redraw the landscape of one ghetto community was a preacher who loved Jesus and the downtrodden, whether it be the poor in his community, or the children his church fed and clothed in Africa, his friends said.
" 'Let's open the book.' That was his favorite statement," said the Rev. Clay Evans, pastor of another famed South Side church, Fellowship Baptist. "He was one of the greatest souls that I have ever witnessed in my life. I felt comfortable if Bishop Arthur Brazier endorsed somebody or approved somebody, whether it was local or national. Him and [the late] Rev. Claude Wyatt. The three of us thought alike. That was my friend."
Evans' friend put together his own funeral service, from speakers to songs, and even wrote a farewell to his flock on his deathbed, that said, "I believe I have fought a good fight. I am ready to see my Lord and Savior face to face. I love you without measure -- and I know that I will see you again."
"The man was a godly man," said Bishop Horace Smith of Apostolic Faith Church, Brazier's good friend, in the ending eulogy. "We knew him as a great statesman, a civic leader, a humanitarian and a visionary, and many of us wondered how did he do it- I'll tell you how. This power that we saw was not of him, but of his God."

Lately, I've been more cautious about spur-of-the-moment shopping trips. Perhaps it's a sign of growing up or a realization that I need to be more financially responsible? Regardless, I've noticed that those impulse purchases often find a place tucked away in the back of my closet. Instead of buying things just to buy, I've decided to set a rule for myself that each piece must pair perfectly with at least three other items already in my closet.
Let's call it - the rule of thirds.
Thus, welcoming a new blog series: Perfect Pairs.
Knit Snood - Old Navy // Faux Fur Snood - Michael Kors
Leopard Skimmers - Madewell // Leopard Pumps - J.Crew
Do you set guidelines for your shopping habits?

Adam Tuss, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - The agency with primary oversight of Metro safety spoke out at a meeting Thursday about their concerns over recent incidents.
During a board meeting at Metro headquarters, Tri-State Oversight Committee head Matt Bassett said Metro has been proactive in tracking down safety issues like cracked rails, brake problems and massive power outages. But he didn't excuse the agency for the lapses.
"I think we have asked a lot of questions over the last two months. They need to do a better job communicating about some hazards. And they are doing the work (on the system), but they need to do a better job of documenting it and communicating the results," Bassett said.
The little known TOC was thrust into the spotlight after the fatal Red Line crash of 2009. Since that time, the committee and Metro have had a tumultuous relationship. At one point Metro even barred TOC members from performing visual inspections of Metro's tracks.
However, Bassett says the relationship between TOC and Metro now is at a "mature" point.
"We are in a stage where instead of talking about the architecture of our relationship as a whole, about whether or not they are going to be responsive to our concerns or about whether or not they are going to tackle the problems that we see and they see, we're now figuring out the best way to (fix the problems)," Bassett said.
He said the TOC recognizes the significance of issues like cracked rails and brake problems on trains.
"But we'd rather be dealing with rail brakes than collisions," he said.

Finally after being leaked more times than we can bear to count, Apple has finally lifted the curtains off its latest full-fat iPad.
The fifth generation iPad Air (RIP iPad 5 moniker) features a slimmer, sexier and lighter design with clever brains to match.
Air apparent
It's a whopping 20 per cent thinner than the previous generation iPad 4, at just 7.5mm. Round the front, it's also been on a crash diet, with a bezel that's 43 per cent thinner than the previous model. Thanks to these refinements, the iPad Air tips the scales at a feathery 469g; according to Apple, the new iPad Air feels very different in the hands and is groundbreaking both in design and comfort.
Despite its smaller bezel, it retains Apple's beautifully crisp 9.7in 2048x1536 display and also has two new colour schemes to boot – silver/white and space grey/black. iPhone 5s-style gold, however, is nowhere to be seen – sorry bling fans.
More after the break...
Touch too much
Also absent is the long-rumoured Touch ID fingerprint Home button sensor, despite the fact that the iPad Air sports same 64-bit A7 processor found in the iPhone 5s, which is required for the fingerprint encryption to work.
Why Apple omitted this function remains unclear, but it could be due to space-saving constraints or the fact that you can't comfortably unlock an iPad one-handed.
Other juicy specs include dual WIMO antennas which promise twice the data speeds over Wi-Fi than the iPad 4 and a smaller battery (to help reduce the weight) which still offers 10 hours of use thanks to the more efficient A7 processor. And of course, it'll ship with the latest version of iOS 7.
The A7 chip itself provides the iPad Air with twice the 3D rendering power and 72x the graphics performance of the original iPad; it's backed up with the M7 motion coprocessor found in the iPad Mini 2 and iPhone 5s.
Overall, Apple promises that the iPad Air will be a "drastically different experience" to any other iPad that's come before it, and we can't wait to caress its sleek build, so stay tuned for our hands-on preview.
The new iPad Air can be yours on 1 November from £400 for the 16GB Wi-Fi version, or £500 for the 16GB 4G model.
If you're feeling particularly frisky you can fork out a wallet-busting £740 for the 128GB 4G iPad Air, but we're sure you'll find something a little more within a respectable price range on the Apple Store.
We'll be getting hands-on with the iPad Air, and its little cousin the iPad Mini 2 with Retina display, shortly – stay tuned for our first impressions.

So thin that it can't pack a punch, derisory memory, no finger sensor, cheaper in the US than the UK available iPad 2, Appe need to learn how to innovate and develop tech that has kudos, tech that actually works when they bring it to the market place and stop regurgitating the same old same old year after year, dollar rich they maybe, fresh and forward thinking, most definitely not.

Before: 250 pounds
After: 174 pounds
Height: 5' 8"
Age: 28
Overweight for most of her life, Beth Klein, 28, often succumbed to bad eating habits, like ordering pizza and Chinese takeout and late-night eating. Over the course of 8 years of failed diets, Beth's weight had reached 250 pounds. "I used to let myself get really hungry and then I would overdo it at every meal," the Washington, D.C., resident remembers. "I rarely cooked at home or voluntarily ate a vegetable."
Discover the easiest, healthiest way to lose weight for good with Run Your Butt Off!
The Turning Point
In 2008, Beth's physician asked about her weight at an annual exam. "I always brushed off my weight, so when she asked me about it I got very angry and defensive," Beth explains. After the appointment, she reflected on the doctor's remarks for a few months. "Ultimately, her comment forced me to take responsibility for my weight," she says. Beth decided to make her 2009 New Year's resolution to get healthy.
Get active and slim down with our Fitness Tips For Success!
The Lifestyle
First, Beth quit smoking and joined a gym, where she did the elliptical and weight training three to four times a week. Once she got comfortable on the elliptical, she picked up running. "I started the Couch to 5-K program, and that's when I really started to see a difference," Beth says. With her steadfast commitment to running, Beth has finished close to 30 races, including five half-marathons, to date.
For help with her diet, Beth joined Weight Watchers. (Search: Find Weight Watchers near me.) She began tracking her calories and cooking and eating at home. "It's easy to pretend that you're not eating a lot, so when I started writing it down it was eye opening," she says. Beth also traded in the calorie-dense food she used to eat for lower calorie options. She now makes smart food swaps, like using Greek yogurt in place of sour cream, and eats more fruits and vegetables to avoid getting too hungry and overeating.
Video: How To Prepare Healthy Meals
The Motivation
Initially, the positive results Beth saw from her diet and exercise kept her motivated. To stay on track with her fitness routine, Beth signs up for a lot of races. "I want to do well in the races, so having them on my schedule keeps me motivated with exercise," she says. To train for each one, she works out five to six times a week for 12 weeks, and puts in up to 12 miles on weekends.
Blogging about her journey at Bethsjourney.com also energizes Beth. "My blog is an outlet to talk about weight loss and fitness as much as I want," Beth says. "It's a good way to stay in the conversation and find people with similar passions to me."
Additionally, Beth leads a Weight Watchers meeting once a week where she talks about her experience with members. "I have to get up in front of people and preach about weight loss. This keeps me engaged to maintain my weight."
Simple Ways to Cut 500 Calories
The Reward
Aside from the physical transformation that came with losing 76 pounds, Beth feels more confident putting herself first. "I'm an active player in my life now," she says. "Before I would just go with the flow, and now I make more decisions. I'm adamant about my own needs, especially when it comes to health and fitness."
Beth's Advice
Start small. "When people try to make too many changes all at once it sets them up for failure," Beth says. "Focus on one meal at a time. Start by overhauling your breakfast for a week, then move on to lunches and dinners. Once you see positive changes you'll be proud of yourself."
Find support. You're going to have slips ups," Beth says. "You need a support network to fall back on when you're struggling."

You're right, there shouldn't have to be funding to move the fountain.
That's what makes city council's decision to fund a 50+ million dollar stadium for an out-of-town for-profit enterprise seem so very very much less justifiable in comparison.

Last winter the Washington Nationals took a chance on a closer who had fallen on hard times. Matt Capps had just been non-tendered by the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates after posting a career worst 5.80 ERA, and was looking at a future as a middle-reliever with whatever team picked him up. The Nationals took a chance on Capps however by giving him a one-year $3.5 million deal.
The club didn't really need a closer. They had finished with the worst record in baseball for the past two seasons and expectations were not high going into 2010. Instead, this was a buy-low sell-high move that Rizzo hoped would pay off around the trade deadline.
Sure enough, come the summer the Nationals traded away their $3.5 million investment to the Minnesota Twins for one of their top catching prospects, Wilson Ramos. Mission accomplished.
Today Capps signed a one-year deal with the Twins to avoid arbitration. After his stellar 2010, his contract was valued at $7.5 million, more than double the contract the Nationals had given him. What a difference a year makes.

AirTalk for April 22, 2010
Sarkozy moves to ban Islamic face veils in France
Scott Barbour/Getty Images
A woman wearing a niqab veil listens during a seminar organised by the women's chapter of Hizb-ut-Tahrir Britain, to challenge the remarks made by Jack Straw and other British ministers against the veil on October 14, 2006 in London, England.
Nicolas Sarkozy wants to ban women from wearing face veils in public. Under the policy proposed by the French President, Muslim women would not be permitted to wear the niqab, which reveals only the eyes, or the burqa on streets, public transportation, or in markets and shops. The ban would apply equally to tourists. Sarkozy told his Cabinet that the full veil "hurts the dignity of women and is unacceptable in French society." Belgium is considering a similar proposal. Would the ban empower women in France? Or just the opposite—would the prohibition of certain veils harm Muslim women's free practice of their religion?

Source: RAMPS (Radical Action for Mountain People's Survival)
Twenty people were arrested and are currently jailed in West Virginia for a courageous act of non-violent civil disobedience against mountaintop removal mining last weekend. These folks are currently under a bond of $25,000 per person, and this excessively high bond means that the protestors cannot be released until the funds are raised to bail them out. We do not have anything close to this amount of money, so we need your help.
Please donate to help raise bail for these activists http://bit.ly/mj-legal
Last week, as part of a massive "Mountain Mobilization" organized by RAMPS – Radical Action for Mountain People's Survival, folks walked onto Patriot Coal's Hobet mountaintop removal mine as a non-violent protest against this form of coal mining, where coal companies blast the tops off the Appalachian Mountains, destroying the forests and every living thing on the mountain. Over 500 mountains in Appalachia have already been flattened by this form of mining. Coal companies dump enormous amounts of mining waste rock and debris into precious headwater mountain streams in mountaintop removal, and the landscape is permanently altered.
Burning coal is the largest source of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and carbon dioxide is the leading contributor to global warming.
Earlier this summer, in the midst of the two-week heat wave that roasted much of the country, West Virginia was blasted by a derecho – a straight line wind of near-hurricane force that toppled trees and power lines, leaving some West Virginians without power for up to 14 days. Check out the scary and crazy pictures of the derecho as it formed over Chicago on June 29.
With the record heat wave this summer and the forest fires in Colorado, it is worrisome to contemplate what may lie ahead for all of us as the earth heats up. To get an idea what may happen, its important to consider the positive feedback mechanisms of climate change.
For example, as the earth's temperature increases, forests dry out and burn, leading to more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. That's a positive feedback loop, and there are many of them in global warming. Watch this short 11-minute animated film, which I believe is the best explanation of the feedbak mechanisms that may be the greatest danger of global warming. This film by Leo Murray is excellent and concise, and I highly recommend it.
We need to act urgently to address climate change, and these young activists in West Virginia aren't just sitting on their hands worrying about the problem – they are taking action.
We need donations now to get these 20 people out of jail in WV for their acts of civil disobedience in shutting down a mountaintop removal mine site.
Please help spread the word! Below is a press release from RAMPS:
Donate now, and share with your friends! http://bit.ly/mj-legal
Twenty arrested at Hobet mine, held on $500,000 combined bail
Police allow extensive harassment of protesters
Barboursville, WV – More than 50 people affiliated with the R.A.M.P.S. Campaign stopped mining work for three hours on Patriot Coal's Hobet mine in Lincoln County yesterday, the largest number of people ever to disrupt an active mountaintop removal site. Protesters walked onto the Hobet 45 mining complex with banners reading: "Restore our mountains; re-employ our miners" and "Coal Leaves; Cancer Stays." Twenty people were arrested and are being held on bail of $25,000 each at the Western Regional Jail. Multiple arrestees, including 20-year-old Dustin Steele of Matewan, W.Va., were reportedly beaten by authorities in custody. R.A.M.P.S. and supporters are calling for an immediate reduction in bail and the immediate transfer of Dustin Steele to a hospital to document and treat his injuries.
The remainder of the demonstrators walked off the site when asked to leave by police. Authorities prevented their transport vehicles from driving down the public road to pick them up, forcing them to walk for four hours along the side of Mud River Road while allowing pro-coal demonstrators to harass them. After reuniting with their transport vehicles, they were barricaded on the road for an hour and a half by a blockade of miners in pickup trucks. A separate convoy of vehicles attempting to pick up demonstrators was blocked in by pro-coal demonstrators at a gas station where three individuals were pepper-sprayed. Pro-coal demonstrators were not stopped by police in their multiple attempts to block public roads.
"The blatant cooperation between law enforcement and the coal industry makes me embarrassed as a West Virginian. This brutality and disregard for safety is one of the clearest examples of the hold the coal industry has on the state government," said Junior Walk of Whitesville, W.Va.
Earlier in the day, about 30 people gathered at the Kanawha State Forest. They were met by about 60 counter-protesters before leaving to join the protest, but the tone turned non-confrontational as one miner struck up a lengthy dialogue with a local protester over the economic future of the region. Police arrested one activist who they accused of lying to them about not having identification. The only identification on him was a debit card–not a valid form of ID. After several hours, he was released with a ticket on the side of Rt. 94 far from any town and forced to hitchhike because police had confiscated his cell phone and debit card. An independent journalist was also arrested for photographing the incident.
Recent studies have found a 42 percent increase in risk of birth defects
around strip mines, http://crmw.net/resources/health-impacts.php and miners who spend at least 20 years as strip-mine drillers have a 61 percent chance of contracting silicosis, a virulent form of black lung.
"The coal companies are poisoning our water and air, and they're treating the workers no better than the land – fighting workplace health and safety protections to get the most out of labor as they can," said Junior Walk of Whitesville, W.Va.
As coal production declines, protesters are concerned that the region will be left with illness and environmental devastation as the industry pulls out of the region and companies file for bankruptcy to shed legacy costs <http://wvgazette.com/News/201207200150?page=2&build=cache>.
Patriot Coal is currently going through Chapter 11 bankruptcy, in which union contracts and pensions could be on the chopping block. Both UMWA pensions and the state's Special Reclamation Fund are funded through a per-ton tax on coal. With Central Appalachian coal production in the middle of a projected six-year, 50 percent decline <http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/archive/aeo11/source_coal.cfm>,this funding stream is increasingly unsustainable. Protesters are calling on the coal industry and government to both to honor commitments to retired workers and to restore the land.
"Coal companies must employ their surface mine workers in reclaiming all disturbed land to the highest standards. Instead of arguing about the 'war on coal,' political leaders should immediately allocate funds to retrain and re-employ laid off miners to secure a healthy future for the families of this region," said R.A.M.P.S. spokesperson Mathew Louis-Rosenberg.
Appalachian communities have a long, proud history of confronting the coal industry's exploitive practices with direct civil disobedience. R.A.M.P.S. and others have returned to this tradition to eliminate strip mining once and for all. For R.A.M.P.S., this has included a range of actions since 2011, from tree-sits to blockades of coal trucks.
Saturday's action was just one part of this summer's National Uprising Against Extraction<http://www.commondreams.org/view/2012/07/24-8>, to fight oppressive extractive industries and demand a transition to a sustainable economy.

DMS Blitzmail Migration
Migration Links
Each person will receive a series of emails from email@example.com as their migration date approaches.
It is important that each person complete the steps on the Migration Prep page prior to migration, and follows the timelines on Migration Day page when it is time for their account to migrate. Skipping these steps can result in a failed migration of the account.
On the first day in new Blitz, everyone will be directed to http://bwa.dartmouth.edu, aka BWA (Blitz Web Access). BWA will run on windows computers, macs, and iPads.
Our first priority is to get every new Blitz user functional in the system as quickly as possible. Because 75 to 150 accounts will migrate on any given night, the only way to get everyone functional quickly is to have them use BWA. BWA requires no installation of software and works on Macs, Windows computers, iPads, and phone browsers.This priority includes helping users configure auto-forwarding settings in BWA if they wish to auto-forward their emails.
To help people become comfortable with BWA as quickly as possible, DMS Computing has developed two "BWA Survival Guides": a series of short videos and a set of written instructions. These guides provide instructions on how to perform the most commonly used functions in email. We encourage people to look at these ahead of time as a sneak preview.
Our second priority will be to assist users with the installation and configuration of email clients on their Dartmouth-owned desktops and laptops. If someone would like to use an email client (Outlook, Apple Mail, etc) right away, they may go ahead and try to configure the email client on their own by following our instructions for Macs or Windows computers. If there are problems with the configuration, we'll take their information, direct them to BWA, and provide assistance as soon as we can after we've met our first priority.
Our third priority will be to assist users with setting up other devices: iPads, iPhones, Blackberries, and Droids. Users may go ahead and follow our instructions for setting up mobile devices, but if it does not work we'll ask them to wait for assistance until we have completed our first two priorities. If you have a critical need to have a phone configured immediately after migration, please email the Director of DMS Computing.
To access new Blitz from a home or personally owned computer, you may use BWA. Access to BWA is not blocked and can be accessed from any computer with a browser and an internet connection. While you are free to configure your home or personally owned computer by following our instructions, we need to inform everyone that we will not be providing support for configuring home or personally owned computers. We do not have the staffing resources and BWA provides good access to Blitz.
This is a large and exciting transformation. Blitzmail has given us 25 great years of service, and many of us will miss its simplicity and ease of use. But its feature set has fallen behind current standards and it is time to transition to our new system, Microsoft Office 365. Dartmouth's new system will provide a state-of-the-art platform, full of features and tools that will help DMS communicate and complete our work more efficiently and effectively.
We look forward to working with you in the months ahead and appreciate your patience during this important process.

Arm Circles
Exercise Instructions
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and lift both arms straight out to your sides at shoulder height.
Move your arms in a circular pattern, 4-6 inches in diameter with your palms facing down, drawing a small circle with your fingertips. Continue for one minute.
Let your arms relax for a few seconds, then raise them again, this time drawing the shape in the opposite direction for one minute.
For an added challenge repeat the motion for one minute in each direction, this time with your palms facing upwards.
Exercise Purpose
This bodyweight exercise, though extremely simple in nature, is actually a deceptively difficult and effective move. It targets the shoulder area to increase endurance, tone and definition, all without adding bulk to the muscles involved. If you are short on equipment, this is an easy and effective training movement for your upper body home workout routine.
Remember that you can do the motion in opposite directions in order to make the move harder and put more demand on your upper body muscles.
Can this be incorporated in warm up session??
Yes, this can be easily worked into a warm up session. Also, look under "Full Length Workout Videos" for more routines geared specifically towards warming up.
How much would holding 2 - 3 kg weights while you do this increase the severity of this exercise?
will these help tightening my shoulders and arms

Former Gov. John G. Rowland announced Thursday that he is leaving his afternoon radio show on WTIC-AM, three days after being implicated in a new corruption scandal.
Rowland returned to the airwaves Tuesday afternoon, one day after a former congressional candidate and her husband pleaded guilty to conspiring to hide Rowland's role as a paid consultant on her 2012 campaign.

The new Ian Botham?
03 Aug 2006
Martyn Corrin
A look at just how important Andrew Flintoff is, not just to the English Cricket team, but to English sport as a whole.
So, I began writing this piece a couple of weeks ago. Workloads took over, and it got put to one side as I opted to write on the Test match that had just passed last week. Nonetheless, I thought, I'll save this piece on Freddie Flintoff, and it'll coincide nicely with his return to action for England.
And how excited was I, going to watch England V Pakistan, at Lancashire, with Flintoff, of Lancashire, as captain.
The recent news - the bad news as far as England are concerned - is that Flintoff is now out for 12 weeks. Not only will I, and 300,000 others, miss out on seeing Flintoff in the remaining three Tests, but he now faces a race against time to be fit for the Ashes.
Attempting to defend them without Flintoff would leave England on a hiding to nothing. We are no one-man team, but he is the man that makes the team tick, and he is supposed to captain us out there. Why is Flintoff so important to England, and why exactly is he the most high-profile English cricketer since Botham?
Flintoff can do anything on the cricket field. If he wasn't a bowler, he'd probably be a wicketkeeper. He can bat it out with his back to the wall or he can bat aggressively (see his absolutely blistering 73 against the Aussies at Edgbaston last summer).
He can bowl tightly and economically or he can take wickets like there's no tomorrow - for example, against the Aussies at The Oval, Flintoff's five wickets were largely responsible for the enemy falling from 264-1 to 367 all out - and he catches them in the slips like he's at training practice.
Add to that, he's an inspiration to everyone, a real motivator, and, well, he can really hold his ale.
For years, the English public cried out for a "new Ian Botham." Many a talented cricketer came along and was touted as the next potential one. Darren Gough was, well, Darren Gough, who, by the way, has a Test batting average of 12.57. Hardly the stuff great all-rounders are made of.
Yet when Flintoff came along in 1998, he was hardly anything to get excited about. In his first ten matches, he had a highest score of 42, and had taken just seven wickets. For the best part of three years, Flintoff was just another talented English cricketer who would surely amount to nothing. He was in and out of the team, and just seemed to be a continuance of the garbage we had to endure in the 90s.
Yet by 2004, or at a push 2003, he was the world's best all-rounder. By 2005 he was the world's premier Test Cricketer, as chosen by the ICC (an award shared with Jacques Kallis) and he captained his country for the first time early in 2006.
We were no longer looking for our new Ian Botham. He was to be forever consigned to history, the old Andrew Flintoff.
Flintoff's stats may not quite stand up to Botham's, but Botham never won a Test as captain, while Flintoff first did so in India, where England hadn't won a Test for 22 years.
Is it, though, going too far to refer to him as invaluable? Is Flintoff's importance to the cause over-estimated? Or, is he not valued enough? He is worshipped, he is perceived as being able to walk on water, but he is taken for granted. Yes, a lot of the nation have once again fallen into their four-year cycle of being indifferent to the summer game, but those who do love it are perhaps not making the most of what is there, in front of them. One of the most formidably talented sportsman they will ever see, something really special, an absolute phenomenon.
Flintoff is not just the perfect cricketer, though. He is exactly the sort of sportsman the English public cry out for. He has everything. He has the equivalent ability for his field as Wayne Rooney. He has the leadership and general COME ON!! qualities as Steven Gerrard. He is a family man, like David Beckham, but without the idiotic need to publicise his family, or to sleep with his personal assistant.
And he can drink, drink like hell, like a rock star.
He is everything we love - a sporting hero, a responsible father and husband, and he knows how to party. He's a northern lad. He is one of us. That's how we see him. When we watch Flintoff, we see ourselves, a lad who likes a pint but does not shirk responsibility. The only difference between the lads in the seats, and Freddie, is the fact that he has bags of ability.
That's not necessarily true, but that's what we can think, how we can view it. It could have been me, or you, or anybody.
He's a celebrity nowadays, but not by choice: "I'm nothing like Kevin Pietersen, he'd turn up to the opening of an envelope". Flintoff is a warrior on the field, and by all accounts in the pub, but somehow I can't imagine him holding a pre-World Cup party next march for all his teammates, and inviting ITV to broadcast it.
I don't think us, the English public, truly realise what a great thing we have on our hands with Flintoff.
Yes, he is idolised, not just by the youth, but by grown idiots like me - I was genuinely devastated when I discovered I would not get to watch him next Friday, just as I was genuinely excited when I thought he was going to play - but is he honestly appreciated?
Sure, there has been no attempt to drag him down and cover him in scandal; because of who he is, it's not a possibility. But Flintoff is injured because he burnt himself out. I don't have medical evidence for this, but he bowled 68 overs against Sri Lanka. Non-cricket lovers probably don't appreciate exactly how much that is, but let me explain.
When a fast bowler runs in, eight times his body weight goes through his leading foot. Flintoff is a big, strong lad. He was bowling in the 80-85 mph region in the Sri Lanka match, so I'm sure you can imagine the weight going through his foot in that match.
Two games later, he was injured, no coincidence whatsoever.
Sure, it was Fred's own decision to bowl that much, but we let him. We convinced him he was invincible, because he is so good. Now, the greatest sportsman this country has possessed in a generation is injured, out of an important series against Pakistan where the world #2 ranking is up for grabs, out of the Champions Trophy (not that that matters) and could well miss The Ashes if there are any delays in his recovery.
So I issue a plea, to the ECB and Duncan Fletcher - I appreciate that he is the best man for the captaincy in Vaughan's absence, but don't let him try and do it all himself. It only ends in tears. And to Michael Vaughan, when you come back, look after him. To the other fast bowlers - bowl well, for God's sake, don't leave it all to Flintoff.
Most importantly, to Flintoff himself, please do not try and run the whole show. You are a great bowler, a great batsman and a great captain. You are no doubt a great father. Please, please, look after yourself, because we love you, we need you, without you, we are nothing!
When he's gone, we'll reminisce. We'll talk about his first test century against New Zealand, or maybe his joyous flip as he dismissed Shane Warne at Old Trafford. And, eventually, we will wish and hope and pray for a new Andrew Flintoff.
Who is Ian Botham anyway?

Eloi (Malik Zidi), Alexandre (Alexandre Steiger), Edouard (Thomas Blanchard) and Andre (Thibault Vincon) meet on the first day of class in imperious Professor Mortier's (Jacques Bonnaffe) literature class. Alexandre hopes to be a playwright, while Eloi, the diffident son of popular novelist Florence Duhaut (Dominique Blanc), and Edouard both want to be writers. Charismatic Andre is the star — the much-respected Professor Mortier proclaims him brilliant — but he keeps his aspirations to himself; his favorite aphorism is Austrian essayist Karl Kraus' waspish admonition that most people write "because they're too weak not to." Andre manipulates lives rather than language, and makes over his classmates to his own perversely exacting specifications. He knows the best — the only — way to do everything: drink coffee, prepare for an audition, seduce a girl. His friends are too dazzled by his facile wit, calculated charm, androgynous sex appeal, capricious but forceful opinions, and formidable knowledge of literature and literary theory to fully realize what's happening until they find themselves in Andre's merciless sights. Edouard is the first to fall from grace: Andre eviscerates the story he publishes in a small literary magazine and makes it clear that henceforth, Edouard is no longer part of the gang. Edouard doesn't believe he's serious until Andre deliberately closes a door in his face.
Andre's head games escalate as they approach graduation: He browbeats Alexandre into abandoning writing for acting and chooses Eloi's dissertation topic for him. He maliciously drives a wedge between Alexandre and his girlfriend, and he sabotages Eloi's efforts to woo pretty Marguerite (Natacha Regnier), yet another aspiring writer, in order to claim her for himself. That relationships are rarely, if ever, free of ulterior motives and selfish agendas will be a revelation only to the very young and deeply naive. But Bourdieu's razor-sharp parsing of the ties that bind Andre, Eloi and Alexandre is mesmerizing. Andre's eventual comeuppance is inevitable, and in a film full of off-kilter turns, Bourdieu plays it for everyday tragedy rather than spiteful satisfaction. leave a comment --Maitland McDonagh

What Is Mj From Generations Real Name?
What type of human or being would be produced from generations of incest?
It is known that incest causes genetic mutations, or variances but what would come from 10+ generations of incest.
After so many generations the deformed mothers no longer are able to cary to full term babies or even die in birth. Thus, the end of a long mutated line.
You can see this in cats on any given ally where spaying or neutering is uncommon.
Did the internet cause a huge gap between generations X and Y and the fading generations?
The youth today is less restrained then the fading generations growing up. The youth has more outlets to find information then just book, newspapers, TV, and elders. The youth also sticks together more then the fading generations did.
As a member of the "Fading generation" that invented the personal computer, the internet and implemented them ever since the very first one, I would say you have no idea what your talking about. No offense intended but nobody of your generation understands any of this stuff the way my generation does. When you bought your computer you bought software I wrote no matter what operating system you have on it.
how did islam spread after muhammad's death?
uhmm i need help with my homeworlk can someone plz help me
After Muhammad's death the Arabs had a stronger encouragement to spread Islam rather than staying with the comforting company of their beloved prophet. When Muhammad was alive most of them prefer to stay with him rather than going out spreading Islam
After Muhammad died, Islam spread through a viral conversion system. This method was somewhat mentioned in Muhammad's last Sermon. Basically, when a person converts to Islam he also becomes a converter as well. It's like Multi level marketing. If 1 preachers convert 10 people, after 2 generations there will be 100 preachers... after 3 generations there will be 1000 preachers... after 4 generations 10000 preachers... so you get the idea...
Whats does PR UKC mean?
I have been seeing this a lot lately with thick or "bully style" pit bulls, that a month ago did not have PR in from of the UKC. what does the PR stand for? thanks
"Purple Ribbon" is what it means.
Purple Ribbon-bred dogs have six generations of known ancestors and all 14 ancestors within the last three generations must be registered with U.K.C.
what does 'cousin twice or once removed' mean??
okay so i always wanted to know this. i guess i heard it in movies and stuff.. so when people say oh this is my first cousin twice removed, what does that mean????? please answer thanks!!
that means how many generations the person is above or below your generation. a first cousin twice removed would be your cousin's grandchildren because they are two generations away from your generation.
wikipedia gives the same answer as I do. Under the topic "cousin," wikipedia says:
"A system of degrees and removes is used to describe the relationship between the two cousins and the ancestor they have in common. The degree (first, second, third cousin, etc.) indicates the minimum number of generations between either cousin and the nearest common ancestor; the remove (once removed, twice removed, etc.) indicates the number of generations, if any, separating the two cousins from each other.
For example, a person with whom you share a grandparent is your first cousin; someone with whom you share a great-grandparent is a second cousin. Where your relationship to the nearest common ancestor is different from your cousin's relationship then the term "removed" is used to indicate this, for example the child of your first cousin is your first cousin once removed because there is a generation between you."
