Fremont Afghans mark 10th anniversary of war at home
It's been a decade since the start of the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan, what came to be called "Operation Enduring Freedom." NATO forces struck key Al Qaeda targets and toppled the Taliban government, forcing them to flee to the mountains. But those fighters never gave up, and to this day, Afghanistan is a nation at war. The U.S. currently has over 100,000 troops in Afghanistan, and it is officially the longest war in U.S. history.
On Friday, hundreds of people took to the streets in San Francisco to mark the anniversary and protest the ongoing war, especially its growing cost – which for 2011 alone is projected to be a total of $118 billion.
And yesterday, Afghans for Peace hosted a march through Fremont's "Little Kabul" district. The area is known as having the largest concentration of Afghans in the U.S. A diverse group gathered – people of all nationalities from all over the Bay Area came together to speak for peace, and against Islamophobia. KALW's Sara Bernard was there, and brings us this snapshot

PROTESTERS (chanting): Peace not war. Peace not war…
WOMAN 1: …I came to be a part of this citizens of Afghanistan that say no to war. As an American citizen, I feel it's our obligation to know where our tax dollar is going.
MAN: I live in Berkeley, California, and I'm here to show solidarity with the Afghan people as an American Indian. And to show that bringing people together creates an example for other people who wish to be part of the same.
WOMAN 2: We are suffering. We are like thirsty for peace. I came from Monterey, California. Two months ago I was in Afghanistan. I saw my country. There was some development, positive moments. But there was like, the majority of people, they are just looking for security. The only things they have … the Afghan people are talented, powerful. They have the power to work, but there is no work. They have the talent to have education. There is no education.
MAN: Personally, meeting Afghan people and seeing that the toll it has on their minds and their psyche and their well being, it reminds me a lot of what happens to American Indians. And they were both perpetrated by the United States. And as an American Indian citizen and an American citizen, as people also have Afghan citizenship and American citizenship, there is a responsibility to both nations. And people of all nations need to come together and speak out against injustice such as this.
WOMAN 1: So I came to be a part of that reality, to see change. And to support what our president said – you know, change.
WOMAN 2: So this is why the only things they ask, they're just looking for peace and security. And this is the only things that I want to raise their voice here, in this environment that I'm living in: peace. And my son is living and have education and peace for environment. I need the same thing for my countrymen. They are suffering from the peace, and the lack of security in Afghanistan. This is why I want to join this, like peace of action to elaborate about what we as an Afghan American, we want peace for both nations.
PROTESTERS (chanting): War is not the answer. Stop the war…
MAN: I love to be here with people that are non-Afghans. And non-Muslims that are concerned about what's going on in this world.
WOMAN 1: We really have to do better. And it doesn't matter what ethnic race, class, or whatever. Just as a human being, it's an obligation that we have to serve our people, wherever we are. And we're here. So we start at home first.
PROTESTORS (chanting): We want peace…

Theater Review: 'Rita Moreno: Life Without Makeup'
This article was originally published at The Idiolect.
Berkeley resident Rita Moreno is a bona-fide show business legend, one of the first people to win an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy and a Tony award. She'll be 80 in December, but boy, you wouldn't know it from her performance in her autobiographical show at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Rita Moreno: Life Without Makeup. The play was postponed from June to give Moreno time to recover from knee-replacement surgery, which has slowed down her dancing somewhat, but her energy and stage presence.
Moreno doesn't mention her awards at all in her two and a half hours on the stage. That's a pity, because her acceptance speeches, viewable on YouTube, are actually pretty great, particularly her giddy speechlessness at the Oscars.
The show follows her life and career ever since she came over from Puerto Rico to New York at the age of five, but Moreno skips over plenty of stuff along the way, including (or rather excluding) anything after the 1970s. For someone who's been in show business more than 60 years, that's more than understandable.
Because the rest of the show is roughly chronological, for a while it seems like she's skipping her Oscar-winning turn in West Side Story too, and the omission is distracting, but it turns out she's just saving it for near the end. It's a curious choice from a narrative standpoint, but it gives an opportunity for a climactic song and dance number "America" before the schmaltzier closer "This Is All I Ask."
Based on hours of conversations with Moreno about her life, the show was written by artistic director Tony Taccone, who's making his playwriting debut in a one-two punch between this and Ghost Light, a play about California Shakespeare Theater artistic director Jonathan Moscone's memories of his father, the late San Francisco mayor George Moscone, that recently debuted at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and comes to Berkeley Rep in January. Although a veteran director and neophyte playwright, Taccone cedes directing duty to David Galligan, an old hand at solo cabaret shows.
This is Moreno's third time playing Berkeley Rep, after excellent star turns in Master Class in 2004 and The Glass Menagerie in 2006, but this is obviously a very different, much more personal piece. While it feels like a solo show, it isn't quite one. Two young hunky guys (Ray Garcia and Salvatore Vassallo) hardly ever speak but help out considerably on the dance numbers and occasionally sing backup. Although there's certainly more story than song and this isn't a cabaret act, it's peppered with musical numbers from various points in her career, including a Spanish dance she learned as a kid from Rita Hayworth's uncle; "Broadway Rhythm," Gene Kelly's big dance fantasia from Singin' in the Rain (a movie she was in, but not in that scene); and a very campy, heavily accented version of "Everything's Coming Up Roses," the big number from her 1975 Tony Award-winning turn as rubbish cabaret performer Googie Gomez in Terrence McNally's play The Ritz. There's an adorable section in which Moreno plays her recurring little-girl character Pandora the Brat from the '70s children's series The Electric Company, singing a song about how much she loves to hate things.
There are also occasional snippets of films she was in and other videos such as a very funny Electric Company musical sketch between her and Morgan Freeman and a surprisingly dirty Sesame Street outtake (at least I hope it's an outtake) with Oscar the Grouch propositioning her. (Lighting and video design is by Alexander V. Nichols.) Aside from their own entertainment value, these help cover some of Moreno's many costume changes, in elegant getups designed by Annie Smart. Generally speaking, the show is heavily supplemented with projections: the ship she came in on, the New York tenements of her youth, an early Hollywood screen test.
She describes all the cooking smells from around the world in her building as a kid (and plays all her neighbors in a variety of voices), and talks about her mother's multiple marriages and schemes for getting out of the barrio, the hilarious advice of Marilyn Monroe's former acting coach, dating Marlon Brando and Elvis Presley at the same time (though much more about the former than the latter), and the constant frustrations of only being offered stereotyped roles.
At times the show feels patchy, more a collection of anecdotes than an arc per se. The transitions between musical numbers and the narrative are especially tenuous, as if the songs are included only because if you're going to do a show about Rita Moreno starring Rita Moreno they ought to be there somehow. But the whole package is sold beautifully due to Moreno's magnetic charisma and sharp comic delivery. Even the occasional flubbed line is handled with grace. When it comes right down to it, it's a pleasure to hear her story any old way she wants to tell it.
Rita Moreno: Life Without Makeup runs through November 6 at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, 2025 Addison St., Berkeley. http://berkeleyrep.org

The other intelligence
A collective of any kind requires great communication … good listening skills … and cooperation. But get any group of people together in a small space for long periods of time, and things can go awry. Like on MTV's "Jersey Shore."
Okay, so most of us aren't likely to break out into fistfights with our roommates, but we've all heard stories about crazy bosses, unbearable colleagues, and dysfunctional workplaces. That's when Josh Freedman says we need to exercise our emotional intelligence.
JOSH FREEDMAN: Emotional intelligence is being smart with feelings. If we pay attention to those feelings, we can be more intentional with them, we can be more purposeful with them. We can use them as data. We can use them as energy to make better decisions and respond more proactively.
We've all experienced that we've done dumb things when we're reacting emotionally. That doesn't mean that emotions are bad; it means that we haven't learned. We haven't been intelligent with our feelings. So if we can tap into them, we can understand them better – we can be more emotionally intelligent.
Freedman is the COO of Six Seconds, the Emotional Intelligence Network. It's an organization that helps people improve their relationships from the inside out. Freedman sat down with KALW's Erica Mu to discuss what emotional intelligence is, and how an unlikely national institution has used it for the better.
* * *
JOSH FREEDMAN: We all have changes that we want to make – personally, professionally, in our organizations, in our families, and in our own health. And in order to make those changes, one of the big challenges is that we've got to learn. We've got to engage some new capacities. We've got to develop some new competence. And we've got to do things differently if we're going to have different results. And so, we're going to learn and use emotions, and learn through emotions, that understanding of how the brain actually works – tapping into what drives our changes, what drives new insights, what drives our capacity to do things differently, and understanding that a huge part of that is emotional, understanding that emotions have a governing effect.
Take trust, for example. Trust is an emotion that tells us whether to move forward or not. So we're trying to change, we're trying to do something new. It we don't pay attention to trust and really tap into that and learn what that is and how to make it work, we're not going to create change.
And we've developed a process framework. It's really three simple steps, and when we follow those steps, we can start using our emotional intelligence more effectively. And those steps are: know ourselves, which is about gaining the data – tuning in, finding out what's happening. Second is to choose ourselves, which is about being more intentional instead of being reactive. And the third is to give ourselves, which is about aligning our choices with our deeper sense of purpose – paying attention to others, paying attention to what we really want, making sure that what we're doing and how we're doing it aligns to that.
ERICA MU: So, I want to know more about the "manage" part of this equation. Josh, describe to me if I'm really angry, and in a situation where something's been stolen from me and that I realize that I've misplaced it, but I'm still angry – what do I do?
FREEDMAN: Well I'd say first of all, if you've got some chocolate on your desk and it disappears and you think somebody's stolen it and then you realize that it was actually in your bag or something, you're going to have a set of emotions. And you may notice your anger. You may also have other emotions that you might not be noticing at first glance. And so I'd say the first step before you get to "manage" is understanding – know yourself. What is the range of feelings that you're feeling? You're feeling angry – okay. "I'm also feeling worried. I'm also feeling like I've been an idiot. I'm also feeling remorse. I'm feeling this big mix of feelings."
If we pay attention only to the surface feeling, it'd be the same thing as only paying attention to the surface piece of data if we're doing analysis about a company or buying a property or buying a car. It's like, is all you're going to look at the color? Is all you're going to look at the name of the business? Or are you going to dig in and try to understand there's a little bit more going on here?
So if we get past the surface and we realize, okay – "I have this feeling, but there are also all these other feelings underneath, and what are all these other feelings about?" They're there for a reason. So that's the second point that I think is very important, is that often we have feelings, and we tell ourselves, "I shouldn't feel this way. I shouldn't feel frustrated. I shouldn't feel worried. I shouldn't feel jealous." And when we pay attention to that, what we're doing is we're going to war with ourselves. When we get caught up in an emotion – sometimes we have a self perception that we have no choice about what we're feeling and no choice about what we're doing – and the simple recognition that we do have a choice creates this huge transformation. "Wait a minute, if I have choice, what am I going to do? What am I going to exercise? Where am I going to go with this?"
And that in itself begins to transform the feeling.
MU: Josh, describe to me your trainings with the Navy. It's an institution that most of us don't really think about as caring too much about feelings. It's an institution that often is known to be more action-oriented. What was that like?
FREEDMAN: I went in with a number of assumptions. I grew up in Berkeley in a very liberal family. And so I went into this project thinking that I had some understanding of what the military was, and I found that it was really different than I expected. I found that people were there in general with very strong values, very strong sense of commitment to mission, commitment to their country – a real service orientation. And that's all emotional. That's all about feelings that engender a sense of loyalty and trust and courage.
We did work with the Marine Corps, the Coast Guard, and the Navy. We've also worked with all the other branches of the armed services. And they are very concerned about emotion. They pay a lot of attention to it. They don't generally talk about it as emotion; they use phrases like, "We've got to get our head in the game." In the Marine Corps, they talk about a "spree." But really what they're talking about is emotion.
I had an officer say to me, "I'm not going to ask a bunch of Marines how they're feeling before they storm a hill." But if you don't know how they're feeling, it's probably a really bad idea to storm the hill, because if you're not paying attention to your own feelings and your relationship with them and their feelings in this situation, you may be in for a really difficult problem when you get to this place of saying, "Hey guys, we're going to go do this."
I think that one of the most powerful comments I got from one of the people I worked with in the Navy was a member of the chaplain corps, and he said, "We send people into this incredibly awful thing of war, and we need to provide a bridge for them to come home." You know there's an incredible problem with domestic violence from returning warriors, and that is … it's a national tragedy that we're not equipping these women and men with the skills to deal with the emotional turmoil of coming home. We owe it to them and we owe it to ourselves to give them the skills so that they can come home as whole people.
Learn more about emotional intelligence at the Six Seconds conference, going on today and tomorrow in Menlo Park.

All Day Play: The week in music, and reactions to the Troy Davis execution
Some of us listen to that one favorite song over and over again. And some of us scour the world over for new music. Well, if you want to broaden your horizons, all you need to do is tune in to AllDayPlay.fm from Oakland's Youth Radio. It's a streaming station DJ'd by local artists, musicians, and music lovers. All Day Play editor Brandon McFarland joined KALW News' Holly Kernan to discuss what's on his playlist this week.
* * *
HOLLY KERNAN: And first off, let's talk about big news last week, which was that Troy Davis was executed in Georgia. I'm wondering, how did the hip hop community react or mobilize around that?
BRANDON MCFARLAND: That was my big question after the execution. There was a lot of comments on Twitter before, and almost to the last minute, and after the execution from this one artist named Killer Mike who had a really compelling speech that was really moving. Not much else out of Twitter banter from the entire hip-hop community.
KERNAN: And did that surprise you?
MCFARLAND: It did. I would have liked to have seen a benefit concert or at least more coverage through proper news channels, but you know Twitter is where breaking news happens these days.
KERNAN: And so many prominent people, politicians included, argued that Troy Davis should have a new trial and Davis maintained his innocence until he was executed on September 21st last week.
MCFARLAND: I think over this year we've seen a lot of racism happen. I would just really like for hip-hop to make a united front to bring some awareness to it, similar to how we did in the '90s after the riots in L.A. Or even further back in the '60s and '70s where wars were happening and the music was sort of a center to bring communities together, to bring America together.
KERNAN: And, Brandon, there's a big movement to stop the death penalty, or at least to place a moratorium on these executions. Is there music that is happening around that movement?
MCFARLAND: Yeah. There are hip-hop songs floating around the blogosphere, but they aren't from artists who have that voice, have that star power to really grab the masses of people. They're sort of like independent artists, making songs and making YouTube videos about, you know, Troy Davis and other issues. But we don't see the Lil Waynes out there. We don't see the stars. And I would like to see that.
KERNAN: Let's hear that clip of Grammy Award winning hip-hop artist Killer Mike from that rally in Atlanta.
KILLER MIKE (from Troy Davis execution protest rally): I'm angry. It's unfair that my grandfather was born in 1922, my father was a former police officer born in 1955, and the story that they tell me about the police brutalizing black men in 1933, '43, '53, '63, '73, '83, '93, 2003 and will be 2013 – until we stand up and say enough is enough…
MCFARLAND: And he was really very passionate about it. And you don't see that a lot in rappers. They usually play it pretty cool, but you can tell that he's very emotional because it's his hometown. And the South in general had to experience racism at a level that I, being from California, or, say, a person being from New York, doesn't really get to experience on a day-to-day basis.
KERNAN: So what other trends are you following this week, Brandon? Maybe in a little lighter news.
MCFARLAND: I definitely was trying to recap some of my favorite albums this summer, as we're wrapping up the summer, and one of the standout records was this bassist turned producer-singer by the name of Stephen Bruner. He's played with a bunch of jazz bands. Erykah Badu is probably one of the most noted that he's played with. He put out an album with producer Flying Lotus, out of L.A. And it's just an awesome jazz album. I think I fell in love with jazz all over again listening to this because it sort of teeters on electro-pop. So it's electro-pop meets John Coltrane or Herbie Hancock. In general, I think that it's a time right now where a bunch of artists are experimenting and collaborating with each other and it's really a great time for music.
KERNAN: And finally, can you give us some sort of shout out to a band locally. Something we should know about that's happening here in the Bay Area?
MCFARLAND: Definitely. There's a duo from Oakland, California named Main Attractions who are one of those artists that are just experimenting a lot and mixing genres. This is like a mix of rap music and I would say indie rock almost. And electro-pop. It's a genre mix of the both.

Chevrolet just posted a new video on your their YouTube channel called "Candles" which features the 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible with the 60th Anniversary Edition. As the length of the video is actually 30 seconds, we're hoping to see this commercial run during this weekend's broadcast of the 12 Hours of Sebring.
GM / Factory News
Although Corvette first made its introduction in January 1953 at the GM Motorama in New York City, the concept that took the country by storm – codenamed EX-122 – was actually built in 1952. Sixty years later, Chevrolet is planning to celebrate the occasion with events worldwide. Once of those celebrations is being planned when Chevrolet returns to the United Kingdom for the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Happy days are here again, at least for workers at the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Folks like Todd Largent, who was laid off 3½ years ago, and other workers with recall rights, are being summoned back to work just in time for the seventh generation of America's sports car expected to arrive next year.
Larry the Cable Guy's Only in America TV show recently stopped in Bowling Green, Kentucky where he filmed a segment at the Corvette assembly plant. Larry proves that he wouldn't be a good addition to the local labor force as we watch him touch a newly painted door and struggle with putting together a set of seat belts.
We got the new sales figures for February from General Motors yesterday and it looks as though Corvette Sales have rebounded from the dismal 629 Corvettes sold in January. In February, 927 Corvettes were delivered to new owners. This is slightly down from 2011′s 955 Corvettes sold. For the year, sales are running -7.2% off of 2011 with 1,556 total deliveries so far in 2012.
When it comes sports car sales in the USA, Chevrolet is the brand that buyers flocked to in 2011 with Camaro and Corvette accounting for one out of every three sports cars sold last year. To show off their most capable performance cars, Chevy took the Camaro ZL1 and Corvette ZR1 to VIR where the two retail production versions lapped the Grand Course in record times.
The National Corvette Museum recently posted the following notice on their facebook page about the tour schedule at the Corvette assembly plant in Bowling Green:
All GM Corvette Plant tours will cease on September 14, 2012. The date for tours to resume has yet to be determined. Of course, you can always come visit us at the Museum! We are open daily, 8am-5pm.
General Motors issued their sales report and if you haven't heard the news, it was a pretty dismal month for sales across the board for GM brands. While overall Chevy sales were down only -1.2%, sales of the Corvette dropped nearly -13% to 629 for the month, a number we haven't seen since February 2010.

the complaints had to do with the detective that worked Internal Affairs on one of the officers that an appeal board reversed the decision on and put him back to work He the officer had three major

Is there a way to use the "reflection" property of Java Beans to build a Swing front-end? For a better understanding, here's my case: I am building a web-based ERP system based on the Struts framework. All of my persistence and business objects are defined as Java Beans (not EJB), and I am looking for an "easy and elegant" (too much to wish for, perhaps) way to use the same persistence objects from a Swing-based client. Any ideas? Thank you Alfredo

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Winnipeg's libertarian socialist: RIP
Gadfly, anarchist, troublemaker. These are some of the words I heard used to describe Nick Ternette when I moved to Winnipeg in the 1990s. Somehow none of it seemed to fit the first time I encountered him one bright spring morning delivering newspapers on a street in Wolseley. In retrospect, I see that I had stumbled onto Winnipeg's most humble and colourful intellectual.
Nick, who died March 3, was hard to peg down. He was Winnipeg's most famous community activist, a passionate crusader for the downtrodden, and an eclectic thinker who wasn't afraid to speak his mind in spite of conventional political prejudices.
From the start, we had friendly arguments about simplistically pigeon-holing policies as being left or right wing. He called himself a leftie, adamantly but respectfully describing the Frontier Centre as a "new right" think tank, whatever that meant.
Early on, he scolded some colleagues for allowing the "right" to appropriate a good left-wing idea after Frontier commented favourably on the concept of the guaranteed annual income, which would end all income-related social programs in exchange for an annual flat payment from government.
Things moved on and he said our two solitudes would benefit by exchanging ideas. He became a fixture at the annual Frontier Christmas party, while I was honoured to find myself on his birthday party guest list.
Frontier purposely chooses to operate outside the traditional left-versus-right paradigm to avoid bogging down in the tiresome, predictable dialogue we've become used to in Winnipeg and Manitoba politics.
Nick eventually got that. We agreed that government could actually achieve good things with smarter public policy. Much common ground was to be found if we left the old labels behind.
Nick was not your garden-variety, one-size-fits all, big-government leftie typically found comfortably ensconced in well-connected public-sector job. He was from the segment of the "left" that believes power should flow from the bottom up, not from the top down.
That he was not a big central planner was obvious in a 2009 lecture he gave to the Frontier Centre where he deftly demolished the 1971 Winnipeg Unicity amalgamation, mapping out how it empowered the suburbs and the bureaucrats at the expense of a declining downtown.
He also understood that the goal of city services was to serve the citizens first. In 1999, much to the chagrin of CUPE, he endorsed the so-called Indianapolis model of service delivery, where city employees were given the freedom to operate as business units in competition with private vendors.
Why not? It was a bottom-up model that saved millions that were diverted into infrastructure improvements while generating gain-sharing bonuses for workers.
Nick believed government should work for the many, not for the few. At city hall, where he was a constant fixture at public hearings, he frequently criticized the lack of transparency in civic institutions. He was well aware of Winnipeg's "inside baseball" problem between elected officials and property developers.
That issue fit one of his more colourful social-justice narratives -- that the little people get screwed when policy is perverted into "socialism for the rich and free enterprise for the poor."
The same theme emerged after he met with another Frontier guest speaker -- Russell Means, the controversial former leader of the radical American Indian Movement. Nick wrote how he agreed with Means' view that corporate capitalism and corporate socialism are the same -- both being dangerous because they eliminate competition.
He also agreed with Means that "we need to get rid of the Department of Indian Affairs because it perpetuates dependency rather than independence."
In 2006, he interviewed the iconic Christopher Hitchens who was speaking to a Frontier gala dinner about the busybody state.
Nick's resulting commentary (where he fascinatingly mentions that he had once met Raya Dunayevskaya, Leon Trotsky's secretary in Mexico) delved into the conflict between collective and individual responsibility. The socialist believes more in collective responsibility, he wrote, while the libertarian believes more in individual responsibility and he, like Hitchens, wanted to intertwine the two.
He was one with Hitchens' distaste for the busybody state, writing -- "I have long argued that 'small is beautiful' and less government is better -- especially in social issues like prostitution and freedom of speech."
Nick Ternette: citizen, libertarian socialist, friend. You will be missed.
Peter Holle is president of the Frontier Centre. Nick Ternette's 2009 lecture on Unicity can be found at http://www.fcpp.org/media.php/1188.
A tribute to Nick Ternette is to be held at the West End Cultural Centre Sunday starting at 1 p.m.

50 Ways Adam Scott Makes Golf Sexy
Adam Scott (no, not that Adam Scott) won the Masters Sunday, winning over a slew of women who normally wouldn't be caught dead watching a golf game. Why the interest, you say? For starters, the 32-year-old Australian golfer is beefy, he's got a megawatt smile and curly locks, and, most importantly, he's single — what's not to love? The former University of Nevada frat boy also has some famous exes in his past, including tennis world champ Ana Ivanovic and Kate Hudson. We find the Aussie quite adorable, so much so that we'd even consider watching a game of golf to catch a glimpse of his well-toned bod and dimpled grin. If you're not convinced, take a look back at his hottest moments on and off the greens now!

Thumbs up!
By barbert
from rolla, mo
Although pills are easy to use, it easy to forget to use them as directed which is right before the meal/snack. Nevertheless, when I know I will be indulging in an excess of carbs, I take them and the next day most times see no increase on my scale.
Take 1 (one) or 2 (two) capsules before any starch-rich meal along with 8 oz. of water or as directed by a physician.

This review is from: LOGISYS Computer CLK12RD2 12" DUAL RED COLD CATHODE KIT
Pros: -If I was sitting next to my new rig, I'd take a pic and upload it to alleviate all of the comments saying they are orange...they are red, and they look red whether they're on or off
-Good brightness just off the PSU; have mine plugged into a fan controller so I can adjust
Cons: -Annoying little power box; inconvenient but not enough to dock an egg
-Included velcro is a little shoddy to work with; I just used my own attachment methods (zip ties F T W); again not enough to dock an egg, as there are so many uses for this to include every compatible attachment method
Other Thoughts: Point is, you get two, good quality cc's for a good price that are red as advertised. Not much else to say here

Pros: -Worked out of box in 7 Ultimate x64; didn't even have to do anything
-Good company that still supports its products (unlike some companies that rhyme with Pink Sis)
-Surprisingly good signal; currently using from friend's basement, router is upstairs on the other end of the house
Cons: -Hmmm....
Other Thoughts: The title of this review says how I feel

-The mount is cool (the x design is slick)
-Didn't even have to mess with the screen settings out of box
-Nice and bright (but not overbearing)
-Great price (got it on sale, but still reasonable)
Cons: -No HDMI (but I obviously knew that)
-Not a lot of screen settings

Hi: 8° Lo:3°
THE MPs from Bromsgrove and Northfield were among those who voted in favour of introducing same-sex marriage in England and Wales.
After a day of debate in the Commons, both Sajid Javid and Richard Burden went with most of the house as 400 members voted for the legislation and just 175 against, giving a majority of 225.
Mr Javid said: "I know that same-sex civil marriage is a contentious issue, and I deeply respect views on both sides.
"I believe that if a couple love each other and want to commit to a life together, they should have the option of a civil marriage."
But he added: "It is important to emphasise that there is absolutely no question of churches, or of any other religious institution, being forced to host ceremonies for same-sex marriage."
Mr Burden said: "I think the basis of marriage should be the intention of the commitment made in the wedding ceremony.
"I believe that couples who love each other and want to make that long-term commitment to each other should be able to marry, regardless of their gender or their sexuality.
"Same sex couples should have the same recognition from the state as everyone else."
This was the second reading of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill, which was first introduced to the House on January 24.
Prime Minister David Cameron, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and Labour leader Ed Milliband all also voted in favour of the proposed legislation, which is expected to face more opposition when it goes before the Lords.

To celebrate the bounty of Western Slope orchards -- there are a dozen major ones and several smaller plantings in the vicinity -- the tiny town of Palisade throws a daylong homespun Peach Fest every August, when the fruit is at its peak. Events in and around the park in the middle of downtown include a pancake breakfast, a recipe contest, a parade, a Big Beauty Peach Contest, a peach-eating contest and a concert to benefit the local migrant workers' center.
"In addition, we'll have between 80 and 85 vendors in the park and music all day long," according to Jeannine Opfal, executive director of the Palisade Chamber of Commerce, "and all the fruit stands in the surrounding area will be open. Conditions are right for another bumper crop this year, so there will be plenty of peaches available."
August 18 marks the 33rd annual Peach Fest, but the harvest celebration goes all the way back to 1905, when the first Peach Queen was crowned in Grand Junction. Today's fest is a direct descendant of the original Peach Festival, which itself was spawned by Palisade Days, as the event was called in the late 1950s.
Opfal says people tend to arrive at the Peach Fest in waves: seniors in the morning, for the pancake breakfast and parade; families after the parade, in time for the peach-eating contest and activities on Kids' Street; and teens and younger adults for the music in the afternoon.
"Everybody comes out to have a good time," says Opfal. "We've had some of the same vendors come back every year for twenty years now."
That includes the CSU Extension Service, with staff on hand to discuss fruit-growing techniques or any other agricultural concerns.
This year's focus is on the recipe contest, because the food editors of Better Homes and Gardens Hometown Cooking magazine will be on hand and will feature the winners in next year's August issue. (If you just can't wait for some prize-winning peach recipes, log on to www.palisadepeachfest.com, where you will find twelve years' worth of grand-prize and first-place Peach Fest honorees.)
Two special events are just for locals: On Thursday night, the chamber of commerce throws an ice cream social complete with peach ice cream and dancing, at Third and Main streets as an advance thank you to the 2,500 townsfolk about to be overrun by 10,000 festival-goers. To handle the influx, half of Main Street will be closed and parking will be available at the nearby high school, with shuttle service to the park.
Then, on Saturday afternoon, the winner of the hotly contested Town Grouch contest is announced. Earlier in the year, townspeople nominate each other for the honor and "vote" for their favorite with cash donations. Whoever raises the most money selects the charity to receive the funds and reigns as Town Grouch for the next year.
The popular band Chupacabra will play its particular brand of salsa at the Grande River Vineyards at 6 p.m. The $8 admission charge goes to the Mesa County Child and Migrant Worker Services.
"The center is very active in the community because we have so many orchards that employ seasonal workers," explains Opfal. "The concert is part of the vineyards' summer concert series, so we're happy to have them participating."
Peach Fest is officially over with the end of the concert, but a few Sunday activities are also on tap. The eleven local ministries hold an ecumenical service in the park; the recreation department sponsors a softball game; and, since it is Colorado, the local bicycling club organizes a tour around the orchards.
Palisade offers little in the way of accommodations -- just two small hotels and a few bed-and-breakfasts. But the major metropolitan area of Grand Junction is a mere ten miles down the road, so lodging is not a problem for out-of-towners looking for a juicy slice of rural America.
After peach pie, what? Among the prize-winning recipes on the Peach Fest Web site are melbas, mousses, butters, syrups, cinnamon rolls, sorbets, jams, cakes, breads, candy, pizza and chicken salad (honest!). Then there's this first-place winner from 1998, Patrick Casey' s Poached Raspberry Filled Peaches:
12 medium peaches
18 oz. fresh or frozen raspberries, unsweetened
12 packages sugar substitute
Blanch peaches, cut in half, remove peel and pit. Place in 8x8 pan, fill peaches with raspberries, sprinkle with 10 packages of the sweetener and place in oven. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, take remaining raspberries and mix in blender with the remaining sweetener. After removing peaches from oven, spoon raspberry sauce over them and bake again at 375 for 15 minutes.

Human trafficking can be hidden in plain sight. Victims may not realize they are being targeted by traffickers until it is too late.
Meet Rachel Schumacher, new director of the Office of Child Care
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Earned Income Tax Credit Act, however 20 percent of Americans remain unaware that they qualify for the credit.
Three-year-olds in Head Start have increased from 24 percent in 1980 to 40 percent in 2013.
A safe, nurturing environment that enriches children's development is critical to working families and is one of the best investments we can make.
ACF will work even closer with states and child welfare systems to protect children who are vulnerable to human trafficking.
On Jan. 24, Fatherhood Buzz barbershops will host fathers and families for a day of activities to promote healthy lifestyles and behaviors.
From the very start, Head Start was envisioned as a community effort.
Head Start provides the most vulnerable preschool children and their families with comprehensive services to meet their emotional, social, health, nutritional, and mental health needs.
More must be done to prevent abuse to avoid long-lasting health effects.
Your feedback is important to us and will help improve our website. Thank you!

> How much does everyone carry?
I'm starting to wonder that too. Recently was infiltrating an Imperial freighter in perfect Imperial Naval Intelligence LT's uniform, with perfect ID (that I've used all over the galaxy with no problems), with a code cylinder from the ship (implying I'm joining it), with a Storm Trooper in armor backing me, and we walk up to the first officer and she's immediately suspicious. So we give up our guns, and get escorted to the bridge. And the captain has opened the arms locker and all these nervous looking consolehuggers are aiming pistols at us. (I'm WTF?? I know my character can't deceive his way out of a paper bag, but this is ridiculous.)
Maybe these idiots don't understand that 'slightly long hair' means undercover! Dunces.
But now I'm starting to wonder if it was the tied down low slung blaster, the heavy blaster in the shoulder holster, the utility belt,...
Nah, forget it. I did get my hair cut back to regulation length, though!

1. It should be much easier to perform precise drops now
2. Resurrecting inside walls should no longer be possible
3. Slope-related glitching should no longer occur
4. Added a small secret
An interesting experience.
Here, the narration is manipulating and strange. It's great; a perfect break from the ordinary. The ability to disagree or disobey with the narrator creates a much more engrossing game than the more normal process of simply following orders.
The part I liked most about this game, however, is how the enviroment changes based on the player's choices. The player is given a different perspective based on his actions - its a excellent idea that deserves further exploration.
That was interesting! I loved the narrative of it, how it was one-sided. And because it was so controlling, I began to feel real animosity towards it. But then, at the end, I started to feel almost sympathetic... It was really different, and really good. My only qualm was the difficulty at some parts. Though, given the short length of the game, it made sense, if only to lengthen it.
Great game, good sir.
SWEET! And i understand it.
*Spolier alert* If you follow it throughout, it says it loves you and that it controls you and that you are its. So at the end you come into a big room and you see this floating disc thing at the end, i figured it out (i think) that that thing is a coin of some sort and the thing speaking to you was greed, and it could control your body, or mind because it would take over your life if you followed what it said, as jumping into a pit of spikes for money. Thats just what i think :)
Got the reward
I liked the style of combining game with story. It's like getting advice from your parents. The more you listen to them, the more clearly you can see what the world really looks like and even get a little reward at the end. The less you listen to them, the more worse you'll see it. Really nice and short flash game.
Reminds me of Portal
The narrator person reminded me of GLaDOS from Portal, with the telling you what to do, especially some things which are suicidal in nature. Later on I started thinking she was more of a motherly figure, trying to put her child on the right path to grow up.

Experts Call for Community Mobilization to Curb Youth Violence
New study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine
San Diego, March 9, 2008 – Homicide is the second leading cause of death for all 15-24 year-olds, and the leading cause for African-American youth. In an important special supplement to the March 2008 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 14 contributions from a diverse group of researchers and an article by U.S. Senator Arlen Specter address the need to reduce and prevent youth violence and explore some of the community-based approaches that have proven successful.
Rodney Hammond, from the Division of Violence Prevention, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, writes, "We have much to understand and learn about ways to incorporate community mobilization into youth violence prevention research and programs and to evaluate the effectiveness of these program components. This supplement to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine represents an important step forward in filling this gap. The rich narratives provided by the authors are crucial first steps in illustrating the challenges and varying potential processes for doing this cutting-edge, essential work. Additionally, the available data demonstrate this investment of time and resources has a beneficial impact."
In an introductory article, "Community Mobilization and Its Application to Youth Violence Prevention," Greg Kim-Ju (California State University, Sacramento), Senior Guest Editor Gregory Y. Mark (Asian/Pacific Islander Youth Violence Prevention Center, University of Hawaii at Manoa) and co-investigators observe that, "Community mobilization is the first step in engaging individuals and organizations to address community social and health issues collectively and to direct action toward changing adverse social conditions affecting individuals, communities, and public health. Successful use of community mobilization relies on several underlying factors, especially in terms of collaborative partnership: (1) The goal cannot be reached by any one individual or group working alone; (2) Participants include a diversity of individuals and groups who represent the concern and/or geographic area or population; and (3) Shared interests make consensus among the prospective partners possible. For these reasons, the community mobilization approach facilitates cultural appropriateness, wide reach, and a great sense of community ownership of the intervention in the process of addressing immediate social and health concerns and creating safer social conditions. It should be noted that community mobilization is time-intensive, process-oriented, and complicated, in part, by the number of individuals and organizations involved. Some researchers and practitioners may be reluctant to work with individuals and organizations in communities. However, community mobilization is an important tool that can be used by Violence Prevention Centers such as those described in this supplement to show a new generation of young individuals the importance of research and education in bringing about social change. Ultimately, individuals who blend community and research may lead the "new health promotion" field that attempts to integrate the strengths of community and research, and rely less on medical models that attempt to identify the root cause of behavior by focusing on and treating the individual in isolation from the community."
Collectively, the articles in this supplement describe a variety of approaches to mobilizing communities to prevent or reduce youth violence. Studies range from discussions of small cities such as Richmond, Virginia to programs in New York City that help youths traumatized by 9/11. An article explains how a small community of about 10,000 native Hawaiians was able to mobilize against youth violence and substance abuse using traditional Hawaiian values. Programs that concentrate on neighborhood involvement rather that the more traditional targeting of "high-risk" youths are shown to be successful in San Diego and Riverside, California, while in Sacramento, an ethnic studies program has attracted significant numbers of students and helped the community mobilize against youth violence. Another contribution describes a community-based program in San Juan, PR for high-risk youths.
On the organizational side, a Kansas City, MO program identified 12 key processes that can mobilize communities to combat violence, while community leaders in Flint, MI, developed a framework for organizing violence prevention programs that empowered the participants to make significant progress.
Two articles address training of community and medical personnel to deal with youth violence. Harvard University has set up satellite centers to help communities, while a program in San Diego enlists the help of adolescents who have been the victims of traumatic injuries.
Another article describes programs for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. These groups have been neglected in many studies due to perception that these groups do not have a violence problem.
US Senator Arlen Specter, in an article entitled "Making Youth Violence Prevention a National Priority," discusses the programs he is encouraging in his home state of Pennsylvania, and how he is supporting further efforts at the national level. He writes, "Youth violence has finally been recognized as the public health issue that it is, underscored by the publication of the papers in this supplement on community mobilization to prevent youth violence…As a country, we are working to understand the causes and effects of youth violence. We know from experts how to identify many of the factors that put children at risk of becoming involved in crime and violence." Senator Specter concludes, "With the reauthorization of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act this coming year, Congress has the opportunity to focus the nation's attention on the issues of juvenile delinquency and youth violence. In doing so, we must encourage a collaborative approach to youth violence that relies on proven methods such as mentoring. Prioritizing youth violence prevention is prioritizing our future."
The articles appear in a special supplement to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, Volume 34, Issue 3 (March 2008) published by Elsevier.
