The Hidden Sex Trafficking of Native American Girls
By Indian Country Today Media Network on May 30, 2012
BlogHer Spotlight
[Editor's note: When we hear about sex trafficking of women and girls, most of us probably don't think of America. Yet in the port city of Duluth, Minnesota, the prostitution of young Native girls has been quietly going on for decades, abetted by a culture of silence, racism and fear. In Indian Country Today, Mary Annette Pember, a young Native woman herself, offers a chilling glimpse of this hidden world.--Mona]
Like most Native women around the Great Lakes, I have heard the shameful term boat whore whispered since I was a child. We all knew about women who disappeared to "work the boats" and more important, we knew it was not a topic for discussion. Perhaps internalizing the inexplicable collective shame of being Native women in white America, we cringed when hearing about boat whores, fearful that their experience and reputation might somehow infect us, too. The story of the boat whore has been like a queer kind of natural disaster that visits destruction on the powerless yet holds them responsible.

Kathy Bassett: Crime in Maybell? Think again
Saturday, February 21, 2009
Kathy Bassett
Kathy Bassett's column, "The View from Maybell," appears in the Saturday Morning Press.No, I didn't hurt myself. No, I'm OK. It's just that I started laughing and laughed so hard that I fell on the floor and I'm enjoying every little carpet fiber in my face.
OK. Now that I have your attention, let me explain why I'm laughing. Maybell had two robberies. Maybell had two crimes. Guess what they stole the first time?
Two pillows. Nope, I'm not kidding. Then recently, someone got a little more serious and stole a gun and some other stuff out of a house. The best part is that they caught the one who took the gun and stuff, but the two pillows? Naw. They were never recovered. It was determined that Maybell has no thieves. Nope, the thieves are from out of town. That has been proven.
Well holy cow, everyone knows everybody else and in a small town it is a well-known fact that a person can't even spit out the back door but what everyone knows about it within three hours. By the time the story makes its rounds, not only did Uncle Bustyerbuns spit, but his chew spit flew out there so far it hit the neighbor's dog! But that is OK. That is good. Everyone looks out for everybody else and who cares if Aunt Matilda's hem is coming loose or Uncle Remus sips his soup through his mustache? The point is, that everyone is safe from everyone else.
Except for the one who took the two pillows. OK. Lets re-introduce this cold case. We already know that nobody in Maybell is a thief. The thief went into a camper, took a nap and stole the pillows. Someone remarked that they thought they saw some guy walking down U.S. Highway 40 shortly after dawn. But they couldn't see pillows. Oh I know. : I bet he had them stuffed in his coat.
I'm guessing that whoever did it changed the pillow cases as soon as they got them home, and we will never be able to find out who did it because they undoubtedly tied rocks on them and threw them into the nearest river or perhaps hid them in some city Dumpster. Maybe they'll come back looking for blankets or sheets or something. Darn. That means folks are going to have to quit watching one another and start watching the clothes lines to make sure the sheets and blankets stay put. So mystery solved.
Seems like there are quite a few transients going through Maybell. Well, I for one am going to erect a nice big sign in my yard that states: "If you can read this, you are within range!"
Don't think for one minute that any of us in Maybell are scared of punks who come out to see what they can steal. Why heck no! They want to steal our trucks? Guess what? We lock 'em up now. They want to steal our purses? Go ahead. We'll just go to another yard sale and get another one for 25 cents and if it is a really good leather one, we might have to pay a buck. You won't find anything of interest in our purses. No money except for a few coins. Don't believe in credit cards anymore.
In my purse, you might find a pair of pliers, a receipt from Murdoch's dated last November, and a couple of mints left over from three Christmases ago. If you are looking for drugs, I forgot what that pill thing is in there. It might be an aspirin or a worm pill for the cat. Help yourself - you aren't in the city, buster, you are in the country!
We've had better outlaws in our neck of the woods than you will ever dream about being. We've had Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch, plus a whole heap more. We realize times are tough but there are better ways of getting stuff than stealing. You need something to do? Spring is coming and there are fence post holes need dug and corrals mucked out. So come on down buddy, but don't expect a freebie 'cuz there ain't none in Maybell. Not now, not ever.

Well, it looks like somebody took you up on the challenge Kathy and used a crowbar to unlock the back door of the Maybell Store and stole $4,000 worth of cigarettes and all the 15-40 motor oil. No thieves in Maybell? Think again Kathy. I've heard several stories about some of the more colorful recent arrivals living in and around Maybell and frankly Opra, No, I think maybe Jerry Springer could start and finish a complete season with those folks! How about a reality show using the zip code? It would have a ring to it, like ...Maybell, 81640, where reality bites the dust! The stories are a lot better than the stuff that happens in Red Wash!
And speaking of Red Wash antics, it reminds me of the two fellas who were arrested because one stabbed the bouncer at the Dixon bar and hid the evidence in the other's car, what ever happened to those two guys? Does anybody know, Ive been on the road?
Kat 5 years, 11 months ago
Oh gosh oldsage! There are deadlines to meet and more deadlines to meet. So my article was turned in just hours before the lowlifes did their disastardly deed in Maybell. Therefore, I didn't get to include that little tidbit into my story. Isn't it a shame they hadn't read my article yet. Maybe it would have caused them to have second thoughts. Don't you think maybe they'd still be shaking in their boots? heh heh
notmpoppins 5 years, 11 months ago
Kathy, As a new resident in Maybell ( thankfully not one of those that oldsage is talking about, at least I don't think so ) I must say I LOVE IT! Thanks for a great laugh!
oldsage 5 years, 11 months ago
Ok, there was a deadline at the paper but, I would not categorize the burglary and theft of over $4000 in merchandise as just a "little tidbit" of information. Nor would I say "no crime in Maybell", in fact there have been lots of criminal incidents in Maybell. For instance that was not the first time the back door to the store was opened with a crowbar. And how about when the guy attempted to steal both of the Stoffle's cars from their garage causing thousands of dollars in damage to both cars in his unsuccessful attempts. And how about all the vandalism at the park, and that is not even getting into the drinking and domestic violence problems that pop up every so often like when the moron who's wife said she was leaving him went outside and used a sledge hammer to destroy her Ford Bronco, what a man!
And no, I don't think any of the local homegrown Maybell criminals are shaking in their boots at all because I heard that at the 2006 Maybell Republican Caucus a local candidate soliciting votes stated that he had looked out for the people in his town by not arresting any of their children.
If the children had not been doing anything wrong, there would not have been a reason for them to be arrested, and no reason for the candidate to point out he had not arrested their children. I wonder which one of the unarrested children has now graduated to burglary? No crime in Maybell, like I said, think again!
And Notmpoppins, I certainly hope you aren't one of the goofy ones.

Cage Plans She-hulk For Mendes
Comic book fan Nicolas Cage is hoping to turn his GHOST RIDER costar Eva Mendes into an action star after recruiting her to play his SHE-Hulk.
The Oscar winner is in negotiations to turn his comic book movie idea into reality and insists if blockbuster Ghost Rider is a big hit he'll forge ahead with plans for a female HULK.
He says, "I'm working on She-Hulk and I'd like to see Eva play her. It would be her in a bikini just kicking a lot of ass, throwing cars. I'm trying to put that together as we speak."
Cage is also keen to turn another of his favourite comic book heroes into a movie franchise: "I would like to see THE SUBMARINER come to life. I want to see the water and all the animal life."

Hey, BJJ guys and girls, I bet most of you have heard many of the following irritating things that other (martial artists) have said about our beloved sport. This is my list, feel free to show it to your non-BJJ friends.
I designed the third installment of the honey badger series of gis for Tatami Fightwear. It goes on sale through their store and trusted resellers on Friday 30th January 2015.
Here are more photos:
I have three new T-shirt designs available at my store - www.meerkatsu.com.
Each was inspired by a different popular culture icon and twisted to give it the jiu jitsu spin. Here is a little more about each product:-
A stunningly designed gi featuring the artwork of MMA fighter, BJJ black belt and tattoo artist Luke Stewart. Luke owns the tattoo shop Seventh Son, hence the name of this gi. This gi was light, comfortable and, despite the in-built liner, cool to wear. There was a slight issue with the drawstring, but apart from that, the gi performed admirably over 2 months of solid rolling.
This gi was only available as a strictly limited edition kimono. As with most previous Shoyoroll batch releases, these gis sold out within a very short time on release day. I bought my model from UK distributor, Grapplers Delight for £150 incl postage.
I have no personal or business connection with Shoyoroll. All views expressed in this review are my own.

Mike Fowler visited our academy as a guest instructor and taught us a snapshot of his trademark moves that have made him a notable star in the BJJ tournament circuit. Here is my report on the session...
Michelle Nicolini vs Angelica Galvao Photo by Jiu Jitsu Style Magazine |
Last weekend saw the inaugural staging of the Polaris Professional Jiu-Jitsu Invitational, or just Polaris Pro, at Cardiff St David's Hall in Wales. It featured eight grappling matches between 16 high level competitors and was available to view via a pay-per-view livestream or as a spectator at the event itself. Each match brought its own drama and exciting action with four matches ending in a submission. The live stream functioned admirably and the event itself proceeded smoothly.
The deep half guard is a bottom game position that places you directly beneath the opponent's centre of gravity. By securing your body to one of his legs, it creates a deep instability in his position that will allow you to sweep the opponent with, in theory, a high percentage of success. To novices, it seems counterintuitive to place ones body position in such a seemingly prone manner, but this instruction set quickly reveals the strengths and advantages to using deep half guard.
Ryan Hall explains each chapter with an incredible amount of detail. The entire first disc covers entries to the deep half (which he suggests is not covered as adequately in other instructionals). Disc two covers the actual deep half position in further detail along with sweeps and passes. Disc three continues disc two with somewhat more advanced situations, especially when under pressure. Throughout, Ryan's familiar high verbal output (ie he talks a lot) will arm the viewer with a firm understanding of the concepts behind an effective deep half position which should ultimately lead to a higher percentage success rate. I enjoyed this set a lot and it helped me overcome my own deep half guard phobias.
Available to purchase from the Ground Fighter website.
Cost - $124.99
Length - (disc one 1hr 30min / disc two 1hr 51 / disc three 1hr 23mins)
I have no business or personal connection to the producers of this product. I bought this DVD box set directly from the ground fighter website.
2014 has turned out to be a fantastic year for all things Meerkatsu. My own brand fightwear and clothing line-up included a number of major releases which were thankfully very successfully received. I still managed to complete several big freelance design assignments and I even found time to review some gear too. BJJ training has been reasonably consistent - with my work and family commitments, I'm never going to be one of those guys who can train every day but after 11 years of training BJJ, I still love every session.
Here's my year round-up in more detail:

Big name brand carrying big name expectations. I found that the Contest did indeed live up to the Adidas high quality. I also liked the very eye-catching three stripe branding down the sleeves (though some observers hated it) and the fit was pretty decent for an A1, if erring slightly towards the baggy side.
Halloween has got to be one of the best time for artists to get creative. In addition to the above Thai Boxing Jack O Lanterns I created, I have also been busy drawing tons of horror related works over on my Instagram account - check it out by searching @meerkatsu.
You can buy the Smashing Pumpkins artwork as prints, posters and postcards over on my RedBubble poster site here: http://www.redbubble.com/people/meerkatsu/works/12916360-smashing-pumpkins
Here are some from my IG postings:

Here is more information about the gi:-
I first came across É Nóis Clothing (website: http://enoisclothing.com/) on Facebook when I saw photographs of their unique looking t-shirts. In a refreshing departure from the many many type-led BJJ designs, or crazy animal art led (ahem, I'm guilty!) here was a set of designs that took a totally different path from the rest of the market. I spoke with brand owner David Telfer about his vision and his goals for the brand.
My new gi drops at the www.meerkatsu.com store this Friday 10th October.
Here is a quick little trailer video made my Hannah Jell.

It's common knowledge that Alexander Graham Bell created the technology for the device now glued to most people's hands (or ear) 24-7. Perhaps not as well known is that he was instrumental in improving Thomas Edison's design for the phonograph, which allowed sounds to be recorded and played back for the first time—and that the breakthrough happened at Bell's Volta Laboratory at 1537 35th Street in Georgetown, now a National Historic Landmark. " 'Hear My Voice': Alexander Graham Bell and the Origins of Recorded Sound"—opening January 26 at the National Museum of American History—brings this legacy to light through artifacts from the inventor's experiments in the late 19th century, including some of the earliest voice recordings in history.
The exhibit comprises two tales of innovation and invention, says curator Carlene Stephens. The first involves developments in recorded sound in the 1870s and '80s; the other is decidedly more modern. "In the 2000s, a technique was developed at California's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for recovering sound without touching some of the really early, damaged, otherwise silent records," Stephens says. This method allowed scientists to retrieve sounds from a handful of 1880s recordings, among them the only confirmed record of Bell's voice and one featuring his father, Alexander Melville Bell.
Visitors can hear Bell speak—"It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up to hear the sound across the centuries," says Stephens—as well as learn about the new technology that makes the experience possible. Other items in the exhibit include Bell's handwritten transcript of his recording and a hand-drawn map of DC's Scott Circle, a reproduction of the original housed in the Library of Congress. Stephens hopes visitors' eyes will be opened not just to Bell's work in Washington but also to the idea that the ability to play back sounds, now so commonplace, is a fairly recent development. "It's impossible for us to think of a world where there is no recorded sound and how incredible that was," she says. "If people come to reflect on that path from then to now, I think we will have done something good."
Through October 25; americanhistory.si.edu.
This article appears in the January 2015 issue of Washingtonian.
One of the big positives of living in Washington is the wealth of world-class art available to see—for free—364 days a year. Beginning January 1, anyone with internet access will get a taste of what that's like when the Freer and Sackler galleries unveil their entire collections as completely digitized archives. This means the more than 40,000 objects that make up the galleries' collections will be catalogued online with high-resolution images, more than 90 percent of which will be available to download for non-commercial use.
With the January launch of the "Open F|S" initiative, the Freer and Sackler will become the first Smithsonian facilities and the only Asian art museums in the United States to have fully digitized collections. Currently, only about 14,000 objects have images available online, and not all of them are high-res, says Courtney O'Callaghan, the museums' director of digital media and technology. The new collection will more than double the number of images and will include everything from large-scale works such as the Peacock Room, which the Freer Gallery was built around, to "tiny unnamed ceramic shards that mean a lot to archaeologists but aren't exactly fan favorites," O'Callaghan says.
But why is this digital collection necessary? Can't you just see most of this stuff by going to the galleries in person? Actually, no, explains O'Callaghan. Only a fraction of the collected objects is viewable to visitors at any given time, and "78 percent of the collection has never been publicly displayed."
As you might guess, photographing and scanning such a large trove of objects is no small feat; O'Callaghan estimates the project took some 4,000 hours in 2014 alone. But the results, she says, will be worth it: "The primary aim is to democratize the museum experience. Not everybody can visit the Smithsonian to see the objects; not everybody will have the level of knowledge or scholarly credentials to go into the archives; and some of the objects will never be displayed because of their sensitive nature. This removes those barriers."
The number of museums that have opted to digitize their collections is still small, both because of the scope of undertaking and because some are concerned about the possible drawbacks of releasing their full inventory—that it will discourage people from actually visiting the museum, for instance, or that it will hurt sales in museum gift shops. But O'Callaghan has a rosier outlook: "This is not going to limit who comes to our museum—it may grow the audience, because people will be able to see the details of the amazing objects we have on screen and want to come experience that in person."
Nostalgia for childhood—whether our own or the idealized version we see in TV shows and movies—is practically its own industry today. Which makes the latest objects to land in the National Museum of American History especially fitting: Thanks to donations from cast and crew members, the museum has added several items from The Wonder Years, the television series that itself mythologized the 1960s, to its permanent collection.
On Tuesday afternoon, several actors from the show—including Fred Savage (who played Kevin Arnold), Jason Hervey (Kevin's brother, Wayne), and Josh Saviano (friend Paul Pfeiffer)—along with Savage's mother, Joanne, and costume designer Scilla Andreen contributed various items they collected during the making of the show and have held on to since it ended in 1993. Each made brief remarks about what their involvement in the show meant to them before signing over their memorabilia under the watchful eye of curator Dwight Blocker Bowers.
Among the items that will go on display are Kevin's favorite New York Jets letterman jacket, a floral two-piece outfit worn by his mother, Norma, in the pilot, and a hippie-ish dress worn by his sister Karen at her wedding, as well as scripts, stacks of Polaroids from the set through the years, and tapes Saviano saved—slightly water-damaged from their time in a Manhattan storage locker that flooded during Hurricane Sandy.
During his remarks, Savage lauded the show for celebrating the "achievements and heroism of everyday life" and credited his mother for holding onto so many artifacts throughout the years, even though he and his siblings teased her about her pack-rat tendencies. Joanne Savage, in turn, thanked the Smithsonian for "turning me overnight from a hoarder into a preserver of national treasures," and shared an anecdote that served as a great reminder of just how awkward adolescence really is: that during the famous scene of Kevin's first kiss with his childhood dream girl Winnie Cooper (Danica McKellar), both she and McKellar's mom were on set—along with a crew of about 100. (She also jokingly offered up the jacket her son wore in Little Monsters and a script from The Princess Bride—apparently her garage is the pop culture equivalent of Antiques Roadshow.)
The whole thing had a bit of a surreal, Matryoshka-doll feel as attendees watched the now-adult actors watching clips of their younger selves onscreen, working through the small-scale dramas of an era they were too young to actually live through. Adding yet another layer was the presence of Savage's and Saviano's children, likely too little to understand why people are so interested in their parents' old stuff and definitely too young to relate to either the era The Wonder Years covers or even the more recent decades during which it was filmed. Then again, no one ever said the warm glow of nostalgia requires something as prosaic as real-life experience.

Things have gone from bad to worse for Bill Cosby in the past few weeks: No fewer than 17 women have now accused the 77-year-old comedian of various acts of sexual abuse, spread over nearly five decades from 1965 to 2004. While Cosby remains stubbornly silent about the allegations, his stock continues to plummet: Netflix has postponed the release of his latest standup special, NBC has scrapped plans for his new sitcom, and TV Land pulled Cosby Show reruns from its lineup.
One organization that has not rushed to distance itself from the disgraced comedian: The Smithsonian. The National Museum of African Art earlier this month debuted the new exhibit "Conversations: African and African American Artworks in Dialogue," which features 62 pieces from the private collection of Cosby and his wife, Camille (whom he met in DC). The decision drew criticism even before the latest accusations surfaced, but the institution has stood firm on the matter and has not altered or pulled the exhibit, scheduled to be on display until 2016. On Monday the museum released a statement addressing the issue, which somewhat snippily denies the idea that Cosby's alleged misconduct should have any impact on how the exhibit is perceived. "Exhibiting this important collection does not imply any position on the serious allegations," it reads. "The exhibition is centrally about the artworks and the artists who created them."
That's a tough leg to stand on, as art critic Tyler Green pointed out to the Atlantic: "When you choose to launch a show about a collector, rather than a show about art, you're putting the collector on the pedestal, rather than artists and art and its history." The Cosbys' involvement is still front and center in the marketing of the exhibit, which could not only dissuade people from visiting the exhibit on principle, but also sets up the Smithsonian to be very much on the wrong side of history. In 2010, a barrage of phone calls to the National Portrait Gallery claiming a video piece by David Wojnarowicz was "anti-Christmas" (it depicted ants crawling over a crucifix) led to then-Secretary Wayne Clough pulling the work from the exhibit. It's unclear why the specter of serial sexual abuse—or, on a more self-serving note, the stench of scandal—fails to warrant the same consideration.
Read the museum's full statement below.
The National Museum of African Art's mission is to inspire conversations about the beauty, power and diversity of African arts and cultures. We began planning for the "Conversations" exhibition two years ago to help showcase the history of American art created by persons of African descent. It brings the public's attention to artists whose works have long been omitted from the study of American art history. We are aware of the controversy surrounding Bill Cosby, who, along with his wife Camille, owns many of the works in the "Conversations" exhibition. Exhibiting this important collection does not imply any position on the serious allegations that have been made against Mr. Cosby. The exhibition is centrally about the artworks and the artists who created them.
While "Stan" the Tyrannosaurus rex and "Hatcher" the Triceratops certainly tower above all the other creatures in the National Museum of Natural History's new exhibition, The Last American Dinosaurs: Discovering a Lost World, they are only the tip of the ecosystem on display. The new exhibit, which opens Tuesday, November 25, seeks to give visitors an in-depth look at not just dinosaurs but all life in that existed in western North America between 66 and 68 million years ago—the years immediately preceding the deadly astroid that wiped out the giant lizards.
"People always think of the dinosaur world as just dinosaurs, but there were lots of other animals," says Hans-Dieter Sues, curator of vertebrate paleontology and lead exhibition curator. The goal of the exhibit was to explore the whole ecosystem, from the smallest to the largest creature: "We wanted to embed people in the landscape," he says.
The result is an exhibit that showcases organisms as seemingly insignificant as leaves alongside creatures as small as salamanders and as large as the Edmontosaurus annectens, the "cow of the Cretaceous." While this helps illustrate the variety of life millions of years ago, it also serves to show that the world actually wasn't wildly different from present day. The piece of the exhibit that made this most apparent was a detailed mural by scientific illustrator Mary Parrish depicting a forest transforming from 66 million years ago to the modern age.
The animals and plants on display were discovered in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana, and will likely remain in this second-floor exhibit for the next few years (the main dinosaur hall is closed until 2019 for a $48 million renovation). Dr. Sues worked with a team of specialists to get the Last American Dinosaurs exhibit up and running, including exhibition curator Kay Behrensmeyer and exhibition project manager Sally Love.
Another great find at this exhibit was a retro video game reminiscent of Pacman, which allows you to "see if you have what it takes to become a fossil." Dr. Sues says it was made in the 1980s and refurbished for use in this exhibit, since the science hasn't changed. The game is a simple yet effective way for the public to understand just how difficult it is for remains of organisms to become fossilized. "Becoming a fossil is kind of like winning the lottery," Dr. Sues says.
Perhaps the most memorable element of the exhibit is the windows in which visitors can peer into a working fossil lab, along with signs explaining what it takes to separate the rock from the fossil. When I visited, there were two women behind the glass, and one was working with a high-tech telescope that reflected its images onto a large screen, so everyone could see exactly what she saw—a glimpse of yet another unfamiliar world.
The Last American Dinosaurs: Discovering a Lost World opens November 25 at the National Museum of Natural History. For more information, visit the museum's website.
On Wednesday morning, before the rain and tornado warnings descended on DC, the Hirshhorn hosted a preview to show off its new look to donors and members of the media. The museum, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, has for the first time redone its third-floor galleries, and introduced visitors to the changes—as well as to new director Melissa Chiu, just three weeks into the job. (She formerly served as the director of New York's Asia Society Museum.)
The major changes to the third floor include removing the carpeting, along with some drop ceilings and spur walls, to return to the openness originally intended by architect Gordon Bunshaft—and to allow for installation of more contemporary sculptures, many of which are designed to rest directly on the floor. The impact can be seen in one of the Hirshhorn's new exhibits, "At the Hub of Things," which comprises 50 rarely displayed works from the museum's collection of modern and contemporary art. The show adopts a "choose-your-own-adventure" structure, grouping the works by theme rather than by artist or time period, as co-curator Melissa Ho explained. The works include Ernesto Neto's "The Dangerous Logic of Wooing," a massive installation involving bulbous swoops of rice-filled fabric suspended from the ceiling; Yoko Ono's "Sky TV for Washington," which relays a continuous video of the sky over the Mall via closed-circuit camera as a contrast between the natural world and technology; and the piece that gives the exhibit its name, Anish Kapoor's blue resin sculpture inspired by Kali, the Hindu goddess of time and change.
The other exhibit is well worth a visit by stressed-out Washingtonians. "Days of Endless Time" is a collection of 14 moving-image works by 13 artists, all created in the past decade and sharing a single theme: the suspension of time and the importance of solitude and contemplation. Israeli artist Sigalit Landau's "DeadSee" features her floating naked in emerald water amid a spiral of watermelons, juxtaposing the womblike calm of the sea against the violent red of the broken fruit. Clemens von Wedemeyer attended the preview to explain his "Afterimage," an eerie and slightly vertigo-inducing 3D walk-through of an old sculpture and prop warehouse. Especially intriguing is Robert Wilson's portrait of Lady Gaga, almost unrecognizable in period dress and subdued hair and makeup. What at first seems like a static image over time gives way to movement, subtle at first and then more noticeable, rewarding the patient viewer with a new dimension of the work.
"At the Hub of Things" is an ongoing exhibit; "Days of Endless Time" closes April 12. See images from both collections below.
If you're one of the lucky folks to get this rainy Columbus Day off work, you could spend the time diving to the bottom of pitchers of mimosas (no judgment)—or you could indulge your inner history nerd and head to the Library of Congress's open house. During the event, from 10 AM to 3 PM, the ornate Main Reading Room, on the first floor of the Thomas Jefferson Building, will be open to the public, with the aim of teaching visitors about how to use the library's resources year-round. Librarians will be on hand to provide walk-throughs of online tools and the physical collections.
Once you've checked out the Main Reading Room, you can head to the Northwest Gallery's second-floor "Exploring the Early Americas" exhibit, where at 11 AM John Hessler, who coauthored the book Christopher Columbus Book of Privileges: 1502 The Claiming of a New World, will discuss his work. Small visitors can visit the Young Readers Center between 10 and 3 for activities, crafts, and book displays themed around "exploring our world."

When the dinosaur hall at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum closed this April to undergo a $48 million renovation, Washingtonians lost a valuable provider of their Jurassic fix. That exhibit won't be finished until 2019, but fear not, dinosaur obsessives—today the National Geographic Museum opens its own exhibit featuring a prehistoric carnivore so ferocious that scientists now say it could tear the Smithsonian's puny Tyrannosaurus rex to pieces.
"Spinosaurus: Lost Giant of the Cretaceous" showcases a 50-foot-long skeletal model of its eponymous dinosaur, crafted after the discovery of new fossils found in the Moroccan desert and painstaking analysis of past remains and records. It's the biggest known predatory dinosaur ever, nine feet longer than the largest T. rex on record. Sure, the two species were separated by about 35 million years—but that doesn't mean we can't fantasize about a good ol' fashioned dino brawl, as the makers of 2001's Jurassic Park III did when they had them square off in that oft-ignored sequel. (For the record, Spinosaurus won.)
But just as impressive as Spinosaurus's power is how paleontologists found it. That story is also told in National Geographic's exhibit, beginning with German paleontologist Ernst Freiherr Stromer von Reichenbach's naming of the new species in 1915 after its fossils were uncovered in Egypt.
Stromer displayed the find in a Munich museum. An outspoken critic of Hitler, he tried to have his specimen moved to a safer place during World War II, but the museum's Nazi director refused. The bones were destroyed in an Allied bombing raid in 1944, and Stromer, who also lost two sons in the war, sank into obscurity.
After that, the tale wends from a Milanese museum to the black market fossil bazaars of Morocco as paleontologist Nizar Ibrahim hunted for the most important cache of Spinosaurus fossils since Stromer's time. "A dinosaur detective story," Ibrahim called it. The National Geographic Museum's skeleton is a composite based on the Moroccan bones uncovered last year, smaller remains scattered in museums around the globe, and records of the original Egyptian dig for Spinosaurus more than 100 years ago.
Ibrahim's discovery led to a number of revelations about the enigmatic creature that were published for the first time in the journal Science yesterday. The research team revealed that Spinosaurus is history's only known semiaquatic dinosaur, adapted to spend a large amount of time in the water hunting.
They proved that Spinosaurus's snout— long and narrow like a crocodile, not fat like a T. rex—had nostrils placed high up on the skull, so the dinosaur could breathe while its jaw was submerged underwater. And it had pressure sensors to detect the movement of nearby fish, just like a crocodile.
The team even solved "the riddle of the sail," as University of Chicago paleontologist Paul Sereno put it. People have argued about the purpose of the "spine" part of Spinosaurus since its unearthing. Some said it was meant to trap or disperse heat, or was used for fat storage. But Ibrahim and Sereno now believe it was used as a display—as Spinosaurus swam looking for prey, the sail would stick out of the water as a warning to other predators to stay out of its hunting grounds.
It's clear that National Geographic wants people to get excited about Spinosaurus—the story of the new findings is on the cover of its October issue, and a PBS special will air on November 5. You can also check out a life-size flesh replica of the dinosaur in the museum's courtyard—and, yes, there are baskets upon baskets of Spinosaurus plush dolls in the gift shop.
"Spinosaurus: Lost Giant of the Cretaceous" runs until April 12. Admission to the National Geographic Museum is $11 for adults. Find dinosaur enthusiast Michael Gaynor on Twitter at @michael_gaynor.

Im getting a headache trying to make a breakable window!
Is it done by making a mover? But then the glass is quite thick! Or is it made as a single plane with "collision hull's". Anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial or something? |

This assumes you know how to make a glass window and is something I wrote up for someone else. It should still be applicable.
Part 2: Breakable Glass. Now that we've made the glass a Mover we can make the next time and make it breakable. This is for a window that is breakable multiple times. 1 "But Bobby threw the baseball through the window mom not me!!!"

Yep I tried them settings. But I cant get the mover to remain transparent! I made a brush (used a thin cube) placed it into the level and it looks ok. But then I use copy polygons and make a mover from that it always reverts to the default texture and not transparent! |

- Oligarch Justice – Powerful Pedophiles Roam Free as Barrett Brown Returns to Jail (Liberty Blitzkrieg, Jan 22, 2015):
If Dershowitz was a good friend to Epstein, he was a better lawyer. Along with a dream team of attorneys that included Gerald Lefcourt, Roy Black, and Ken Starr, he was successful in getting federal investigators not to charge Epstein with moving his victims across state lines and other associated crimes. The federal non-prosecution agreement Epstein's legal team negotiated with the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida immunized all named and unnamed "potential co-conspirators" in Epstein's child trafficking network, which includes those who allegedly procured minors for Epstein and also any powerbrokers who may have molested them. Although Dershowitz wasn't a signatory to the plea agreement, the latest filings in Roberts's case against Epstein accuse Dershowitz of essentially negotiating his own immunity.
From the Gawker article: Flight Logs Put Clinton, Dershowitz on Pedophile Billionaire's Sex Jet
Today was a very big day for journalist, activist and American political prisoner Barrett Brown. Though he was supposed to be sentenced last month (see: Political Prisoner Barrett Brown to Be Sentenced Tomorrow – Why the Result Matters to Freedom in America), it was delayed until today.
Tragically, he was ultimately sentenced to 63 months in federal prison for some relatively innocuous offenses. For those of us who have been following this saga for several years, it is abundantly clear that Barrett is being punished for exposing the shady behavior of some powerful people within the intelligence-industrial complex. He is one of several people (Aaron Swartz, Thomas Drake, Private Manning, and Julian Assange) who have been aggressively targeted, not for what they have done, but rather for their ability to embarrass and expose the evils of the rich and powerful.

Tech Tip: Getting Your MAC and IP Address In a Script
Ever wanted to get the MAC or IP address of your computer in a Linux shell script? The following two commands should work on most flavours of Linux/Unix.
To get your IP address:
/sbin/ifconfig \ | grep '\<inet\>' \ | sed -n '1p' \ | tr -s ' ' \ | cut -d ' ' -f3 \ | cut -d ':' -f2
To get your MAC address (Hardware address):
/sbin/ifconfig \ | grep 'eth0' \ | tr -s ' ' \ | cut -d ' ' -f5
Note that this retrieves the address of the eth0 interface by default.
How about this: hostname -i
How about this:
hostname -i
this one-liner shows all IP addresses for all interfaces
/sbin/ifconfig | grep 'inet addr:'| grep -v '127.0.0.1' | cut -d: -f2 | sort | awk '{print "# "$1}'
bash script for all unixes at
get your IP
ifconfig eth0
| sed -n '/inet addr:/p'
| cut -d: -f2
| cut -d" " -f1
all in one
ifconfig ath0 | perl -ne 'm/.*HWaddr (\S+).*/ && print "$1 ";m/.*inet addr:(\S+)/ && print "$1\n"'
Perl could be used for extracting both IPv4 and IPv6:
# ifconfig | perl -ne '(s|^\s+inet6\s+addr:\s*([0-9a-f:/]+)\s+.*|${1}| or s|^\s+inet\s+addr:\s*([0-9.]+)\s+.*|${1}|) and print;' ****************************** ****************************** 127.0.0.1 ::1/128
showing mac address
To show MAC:
cat /sys/class/net/eth0/address
How about...
ifconfig eth1 | egrep -o '([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}' | sed -n '1p'
ifconfig eth1 | egrep -o '([[:xdigit:]]{2}[:]){5}[[:xdigit:]]{2}'
This provides validation and also the regexp can be used elsewhere to find IPs and MACs
IP: ip addr show dev eth0 |
ip addr show dev eth0 | sed -e's/^.*inet \([^ ]*\)\/.*$/\1/;t;d'
ip addr show dev eth0 | sed -e's/^.*link[^ ]* \([^ ]*\) .*$/\1/;t;d'
or with /sbin/ifconfig
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 | sed -e's/^.*inet addr:\([^ ]*\) .*$/\1/;t;d'
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | sed -e's/^.*HWaddr \([^ ]*\) .*$/\1/;t;d'
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

2d game art game asset vector sprite model game model 2d art 2d character
Hello, I have create a 2D game model character for people to purchase and animate in their games. I have provided the model as a vector model so that he can also be customized to make him more unique to gamers projects. As well as AI, EPS, FLASH files, I have even provided a multi layer photoshop file also.
The model is broken down into elements. Eyeballs, eye pupils, eye lids, nose, ears, lower face, upper face, back hair, fringe, side hair, its all separate so that you can create the impression of the face turning side to side. Then the body is broken down into separate elements in the same type of way. Everything is separate, even if it doesn't look like it in the sample image, the toes on the shoes, for example, are on a separate layer, for foot movement during a run cycle. If you open the file up in Illustrator, flash or other vector programs, you can get into each individual element and customize it. Change colours, adjust the lines to change shapes. If these items sell well I will upload extension packs, with more hair, weapons, props, body types, noses, head shapes, etc.

XD's are great guns. I've never owned one with the safety but it's a moot point to me. I've had 2 XD .45s and both were reliable and shot well...
Like NGIB said, i love my XD45 (geezer barrel), but it doesn't have the thumb safety. I have had zero misfires or failures.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
IMO the best polymer platform currently in production. I have never heard a complaint after selling an XD to a customer.
ive owned an xd sc9 but the 45 with safety is new to me just wanted feedback
How much? I wouldn't hesitate to buy an XD if the price was right, safety or not. I've owned several and shot many, IMO, they are great pistols.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline... "the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
price is right just never new or saw xd with safety
The only XDs that are available with a manual safety are the 4" 45 models. My understanding is that they were built for use as a LE pistol but they never really caught on. In the polymer world people see a manual safety as not needed. I have never held an XD with a safety but would love to take one apart and see how it all functions.

After first sharing "Blue Moon," a lovely song from his new album Morning Phase, Beck is letting the world hear another one. "Waking Light" is a soulful, twinkling, beautifully orchestrated callback to the early '70s days of California singer-songwriter psychedelia, a time when artists like Harry Nilsson would spare no expense in piling on the symphonic layers. It's a stunning song and you can hear it below.
Morning Phase is out 2/25 on Capitol.
