I had a memory: A long time ago now — 2001 — I interviewed a Cuban dissident named René Montes de Oca. He was on the lam, actually; he had escaped from prison. We spoke on the phone. He was desperate to get his messages out. In short order, he was recaptured and reimprisoned.
Two years after that, he was released, and I talked to him again. I reported on this conversation here. "While I had him on the line," I wrote,
I thought I'd ask René what he thought of the Bush administration, and of U.S. policy in general. He is not only in favor of the U.S. embargo, but also believes that there should be a "total [worldwide] blockade." Tourism, he says, only lines the pockets and serves the interests of the regime, keeping them in power long past their time. I asked whether dissidents on the island were unanimous in the pro-blockade view. He answered, "That's certainly the position of my party. I respect whatever other opinion anyone else may have." I reminded him that people often claim that the longstanding U.S. embargo hasn't "worked." He replied, "It has worked in the sense that the government of the United States has not cooperated with the Castro regime in oppressing the Cuban people."
Everyone else has cooperated — Euros, Canadians, Latin Americans. Everyone.
I smiled on reading the opening of this report from the Associated Press. Its headline: "In Ala., GOP dictates new landscape for education." Its opening: "Self-declared education reformers have had considerable success across the country over the past few decades, from charter school expansion and private school tuition vouchers to new limits on teachers' job protections."
I thought, "Sounds to me like they're more than 'self-declared,' as reformers!"
Yup. Sadly, Rushdie hails these bullies and buffoons in his essay. While he's at it, he hails Noam Chomsky and Edward Said. He calls them "out-of-step intellectuals" — which I found funny: At least among those who educated me, they were very much in step.
You know who was out of step? Sidney Hook, the socialist anti-Communist. Indeed, his memoirs are entitled Out of Step.
Read it and weep: "'Penmanship' is now 'handwriting' as Washington state removes gender bias in statutes." Seriously — this is not a joke. Is America too moronic to survive? (Don't answer that, just now.)
Read it and weep: "Is 'master bedroom' sexist or racist? Is 'owner's suite' more modern?"
I ask again: Is America too . . .
In Monday's Impromptus, I wrote about Aníbal Sánchez, the Tiger pitcher. I further did a blogpost, here.
"Aníbal" is the Spanish Hannibal. And his younger brother Hasdrubal is rendered "Asdrúbal" — which, as a reader reminds us, is the name of the Cleveland Indian shortstop Asdrúbal Cabrera (no relation to the Tigers' great Miguel).
That blogpost was headed "A Boy Named Jo." The Jo in question was Jo Johnson, Boris's brother, who has just been named to a key position by Prime Minister Cameron. I said, "Here in America, 'Jo' is only feminine, as far as I know. Indeed, Jo is one of Louisa May Alcott's 'little women.' Maybe in Britain, they do things differently."
Mark Steyn wrote a typically erudite, stylish reply.
All this made me think, "What was 'A Boy Named Sue' about again?" I had forgotten the song. So I went to Wikipedia. And I would like to paste a little excerpt:
With public decorum being more conservative in America when the song was released in the 1960s, the term "son of a bitch" in the line "I'm the son of a bitch that named you Sue!" was censored in the radio version and the final line was edited to remove the word "damn".
Everyone laughs at that era, and says what a dark age it was. I'm glad that we don't routinely censor those words anymore. I think it's probably better that we don't. But if I had to choose between the old way and the modern pornographic culture, I'd choose the old way in a heartbeat. If I can't have something judiciously in between — give me the old way, please.
You know what I mean? And do you agree? Anyway, thanks for joining me, and catch you soon.

Truck rollover T
NO INJURIES: A tractor with a semi-trailer lying on its side along Second Avenue looked serious on Nov. 2 but the driver walked away unharmed. Police and rescue personnel were called to the accident, near the intersection of Highway 30 and Second Avenue and found the driver—Antonio Dishman— walking around. The accident report said Dishman was eastbound on Highway 30 and turning north onto Second Avenue. He claimed he didn't slow enough to make the turn and the weight in the trailer shifted, causing both the tractor and trailer to roll on their sides on the east edge of Second Avenue. There was no damage estimate available. Gothenburg Feed Products owns the vehicle and trailer.

Academics | Theatre
Ripon College offers majors in Theatre and Theatre Education and minors in Theatre Production, Theatre Production in Education, and Dramatic Literature.
The department has featured movie stars Harrison Ford, Spencer Tracy and Frances Lee McCain in the past, and in recent years has seen graduates continue on to earn Masters of Fine Arts in Acting, Children's Theatre and Design. We have been an active participant in the Region III Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, entering associate productions and sending talented students to compete in the contests held for the various theatre arts. Amanda Finn ('14) was selected to compete in the national competition for theatre journalism and advocacy in Washington DC in the spring of 2013.
While we are invested in nurturing artists and teachers for the theatre, we are a department for the whole student community. Auditions and crew calls are open to the entire college, and we expect and plan on students with majors other than theatre to take part in our productions.
For majors and minors, the curriculum and production program creates a foundation of both practical experience and academic preparation in dramatic literature and history. Majors and minors are challenged to develop into insightful, responsible and knowledgeable theater artists acquainted with all aspects of the theatre and who participate in the collaborative process that characterizes the art of theatre.

What Apple Can Learn from Google
Apple is a lovable beast, and a brilliant hype machine. As such, it can be easy to see new features in iOS only as miraculous pearls of innovation. But in the broad light of day, and the broader light of the technology world, Apple is no longer the unrivalled talismanic leader. In case you needed proof — remember when Notification Center was added with iOS 7? You know the custom keyboard and social extensions that have arrived with iOS 8? They were all preceded by direct equivalents on Android.

To present an automated algorithm for segmentation of visceral, subcutaneous, and total volumes of adipose tissue depots (VAT, SAT, TAT) from whole-body MRI data sets and to investigate the VAT segmentation accuracy and the reproducibility of all depot assessments.
Materials and Methods
Repeated measurements were performed on 24 volunteer subjects using a 1.5 Tesla clinical MRI scanner and a three-dimensional (3D) multi-gradient-echo sequence (resolution: 2.1 × 2.1 × 8 mm3, acquisition time: 5 min 15 s). Fat and water images were reconstructed, and fully automated segmentation was performed. Manual segmentation of the VAT reference was performed by an experienced operator.
Strong correlation (R = 0.999) was found between the automated and manual VAT assessments. The automated results underestimated VAT with 4.7 ± 4.4%. The accuracy was 88 ± 4.5% and 7.6 ± 5.7% for true positive and false positive fractions, respectively. Coefficients of variation from the repeated measurements were: 2.32 % ± 2.61%, 2.25% ± 2.10%, and 1.01% ± 0.74% for VAT, SAT, and TAT, respectively.
Automated and manual VAT results correlated strongly. The assessments of all depots were highly reproducible. The acquisition and postprocessing techniques presented are likely useful in obesity related studies. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2009;30:185–193. © 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

NORCROSS, Ga., March 25, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comverge, Inc. (Nasdaq:COMV), the leading provider of Intelligent Energy Management solutions for Residential and Commercial + Industrial (C+I) customers, today announced it has joined millions of people in more than 128 countries in support of Earth Hour 2011. Scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 28 from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. local time, Earth Hour calls on the global community to turn off their lights for one hour in support of action on climate change.
Organized by the World Wildlife Fund, Earth Hour is an event in which millions of business and homes turn off their lights to help draw awareness to the need to create a cleaner, safer and more secure future. Now in its fifth year, Earth Hour has garnered a significant following and has led to the lights being turned off at such landmarks as Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia, Buckingham Palace in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Taiwan's 101 Financial Center in Taipei and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
"This is an important cause that brings people together from across the world to help combat climate change," said R. Blake Young, president and CEO, Comverge. "In staying with the theme of this year's event, which is to be more energy efficient in our daily lives, we implore people and businesses to find new ways to reduce their impact on the environment. At Comverge, we work with utilities and large C+I customers to deploy intelligent energy management solutions that optimize energy usage, but everyone can help with simple actions like turning off unused lights."
Comverge has worked with electricity utilities and commercial and industrial customers for more than 30 years to help them optimize energy usage. The company currently manages 3,732 megawatts of electricity, the equivalent of powering approximately 3.7 million homes for one hour.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Does anyone have information on specific Caruthers/Carithers families who were living in TN around 1810-1820? My great great grandfather was born in TN about 1813 and I'm trying to find his parents or brothers and sisters if he had any. His name was John S. Carithers/Caruthers and I thought maybe someone else searching TN in that time period might have a helpful clue to follow. Thanks, Naomi Joyner Notify Administrator about this message?

Redd Stewart
Henry Ellis Stewart (May 27, 1923 – August 2, 2003), better known as Redd Stewart, was an American country music songwriter and recording artist who co-wrote "The Tennessee Waltz" with Pee Wee King in 1948.
Born in Ashland City, Tennessee. While still a child, his family moved to Louisville, Kentucky. At an early age, he learned to play several musical instruments such as the banjo, piano, fiddle and guitar. He changed his first name to Redd because of his red hair and complexion. His talent was not only as a musician but also as a songwriter beginning by writing a little jingle for a Louisville car dealer's commercial.
In 1937, he joined the Golden West Cowboys band headed by Pee Wee King with lead singer Eddy Arnold. Stewart served in the South Pacific in World War II attaining the rank of sergeant. He wrote "Soldier's Last Letter" while in still in the South Pacific, which became a hit record in 1944 for Ernest Tubb. After he returned to the U.S. he again hooked up with King's band, this time as the lead singer since Eddie Arnold went ]] with "That's a Sad Affair" (Reeves also did "You Belong to Me") and Moon Mullican with "Downstream" and "When Love Dies Where Does it Go" in the mid 1950s. "Tennessee Waltz" went on to be a massive hit for Patti Page and was also covered by Roy Acuff, the Louvin Brothers, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley and many others. "You Belong to Me" also went on to become a major standard. The lesser known "Slow Poke" was covered by Hawkshaw Hawkins.
In 1972, he was inducted as a charter member into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
On August 2, 2003, Stewart died at 80 at Baptist Hospital East in Louisville from complications of injuries due to a fall in the early 1990s.
In 2004, "The Tennessee Waltz" was awarded BMI's 3,000,000 Airplay Award. (equivalent to 17.1 years of continuous playing), an honor shared with Barry Manilow's "I Write the Songs", Frank Sinatra's "My Way", Hank Williams's "Your Cheatin' Heart", Elvis Presley's "Love Me Tender" and Roger Miller's "King of the Road". In 2004, he was inducted into Country Legends Hall of Fame and the Traditional Country Music Hall of Fame; and in 2005, Tennessee Waltz Parkway opened in his birthplace, Ashland City.

Got News For You
The world does NOT revolve around YOU, Ron Paul, or the GOP, which, I might add, some of us see for the globalist-collectivist part of the cabal that it is and we realize that 'other means' are going to be necessary, when all is said and done.
At that time, you will likely be standing around with your thumb up your ass with a dazed uncomprehending look pasted on your face, looking for someone, anyone, to come lead you.
As I see it, of course, albeit I may be wrong.
Oh, by the way, that was a real nice babble about all the great works you are about. Keep on keeping on.
Anything else?

Albert H. Bruce was born in Westford, Middlesex Co., MA in b.1828 and moved with his family at age 2 to Oneida Co., NY. He was raised and educated in Oneida Co. He married Elizabeth Malvina Janes of Oneida Co. b.1827. This Janes family is well documented in the cemetery records, census records of the area. Albert and his wife left New York in the spring of 1852 for Illinois. There is a good write-up of Albert in the History of Grundy Co. IL. Albert's parents would have left MA in 1830. The census records for the exit out of MA nor the entrance into NY have not been a great help. Other Oneida research resources are requested or direct help with this BRUCE family appreciated.

ReviewShare is bundled with version 6.4 release of AVEVA Review, at no extra charge.
It combines the unique, high quality 3D visualisation capability of AVEVA Review with intuitive comment and mark-up tools to create compact, easily distributable, 3D collaboration documents.
It integrates fully with Review, allowing each reviewer to add their own auditable comments, incorporating text, 2D screenshots and 3D views, and share them easily with other reviewers, even over low-bandwidth connections.
The ReviewShare Reader will create extended, collaborative environments, which will help to address some of the challenges inherent in working with third parties on large engineering projects.
ReviewShare was previewed at the industry's renowned EPEDC conference in the Netherlands.
Miguel Munoz-Tomas, EPEDC organizer, said:
"One of the themes we tried to bring out in the event was the importance of collaboration. AVEVA really helped us with this, because the demonstrations and presentations around its new product, ReviewShare, helped convince delegates that effective design collaboration is now possible, even across different countries and continents. At EPEDC, we are always delighted when we have been able to help articulate the benefits of such ground-breaking new products to the industry."
Derek Middlemas, EVP Business Strategy at AVEVA, commented: "Effective collaboration shortens project cycles, reduces costs and helps ensure design integrity. ReviewShare revolutionises this collaboration at every stage. It combines established Review technology, ISO15926 and ZGL open standards, scalable web distribution, limitless model size, .NET architecture, and compatibility with a comprehensive range of CAD formats. Yet it's also freely downloadable, simple to use, and accessible worldwide, via internet. This is a real breakthrough in 3D collaboration – a view that the industry openly supports."
Louay Dahmash, Vice President of AVEVA Middle East comments: "As the AVEVA client base in the Middle East expands, communication, collaboration, and increased information management between contracting parties offers areas for significant project savings.
"AVEVA ReviewShare Reader will allow our users to benefit from multi thread reviews and the ability to share their remarks and experiences at no extra cost with each AVEVA Review 6.4 license. Companies that do not use Review, but need to be a part of this collaboration process, will be able to download the ReviewShare Reader (client) from the AVEVA website."

Conduct in MOBAs is so awful that it has become a design issue. Riot Games created a Tribunal system that allows players to report the bad behavior of others, and Valve has done much the same thing. Every new developer showing off an in-development MOBA is at some point asked the question, "How are you going to deal with all the jerks?" Built-in mechanisms for handling abusive teammates and opponents are now considered mandatory features.
There is no question that some MOBA players are bad apples. But something has always bothered me about the pigeonholing of these gamers into this negative space. Surely not all MOBA players are elitist snobs waiting to smack down any new player stupid enough to join a public match. Surely not all of these passionate gamers are horrible humans waiting in the dark to pounce on unsuspecting noobs with a barrage of verbal abuse; there have to be some friendly diamonds in the manure-piled rough.
I swung by the first-ever Chicago Dota 2 Open, billed as the biggest open Dota 2 tournament in the Midwest, to find out.
A confession
Let's start with a full disclosure. My own imagined perception of the MOBA community wasn't exactly great. And while I felt like there had to be some good stuff out there, hiding under the waves of vitriol, I was still somewhat worried about what I might encounter at the tournament. So much so that when I woke up on Saturday morning and started gathering my things, I couldn't help but look for a reason not to go. The thought of spending my day in a windowless, dingy basement, surrounded by sweaty, mouth-breathing nerds certainly gave me pause. How long would it be before someone quoted a meme he saw on Reddit or said, "LOL" instead of actually laughing?
I just wasn't sure if I could deal with the MOBA community in person. I wasn't sure if I could sit in a LAN center for six or seven hours and listen to leet speak, criticism of micromanagement and beat-to-death video game jokes. "The cake is a lie, get it? Because it was in a game? LOL arrows in my knee!" Basically, I didn't know if I, a normal person who enjoys games but also things that are not games, would feel comfortable hanging out with the most hardcore of local players, on what was effectively their home turf.
But of course, this was an experiment. And since I was convinced that the gaming community as a whole might have given short shrift to MOBA fans by assuming they were all terrible people, it definitely wouldn't be fair for me to skip the tournament for the exact same reason. I had to concede that I was headed into this piece with some preconceived notions of my own and that it wouldn't be right to let them cloud my judgment when it came time to actually do the work. So I tossed my notepad into my bag, grabbed my most comfortable hoodie, and headed out the door.
The lion's den
The first challenge to my assumptions came when I walked through the doors of Ignite Gaming Lounge, the local Chicago games center where the tournament was held. It wasn't a musty, poorly lit dungeon with gamers packed elbow-to-elbow and the stink of Axe body spray in the air but a laid-back, modern, and open lounge-type space. There were couches on which to sit, clean chairs and desks for PC gaming, and even a fully functional café with coffee, tea, and shakes. And as it turns out, there were windows.
More importantly, people were talking. To each other. A small crowd had gathered around a big-screen livestream of the DreamHack Dota 2 tournament, and people were laughing, cheering, and sharing stories with one another. Some tournament participants were already at their stations in full warm-up mode, but others wandered freely and chatted with opposing teams and spectators alike. I came in expecting a hostile environment, but what I found was an open community of people with a shared passion. People were being... social.
"This tournament was all about having a good time with a bunch of fellow gamers." |
Second, many of the teams in the competition were literally open teams; the organizers posted about the event on the Team Liquid forums, and teams began sprouting up based solely on who was close enough to play and willing to jump into the mix. Several of the eight teams that fought for a piece of Saturday's $1,000 prize pool had never competed as a team before and had built their rosters through the simple method of posting a "Hey, let's do the Dota tournament" on Facebook.
In other words, members of the community simply reached out to one another to build a team, and that's mostly how the tournament bracket was filled in. It was a far cry from the elitist snobbery I expected to see on display at a MOBA event and another myth busted in terms of how MOBA players actually think and act. This tournament was, stunningly, all about having a good time with a bunch of fellow gamers.
Into the fray
I did what I could to meet each of the teams when they weren't locked in vicious combat with people seated a few feet away from them. Most were from the Chicago-land area, though a couple had members who had either driven or flown in from various parts of the country to hang out and get in on some of the action. All of the teams were friendly; all of the teams were having fun whether they were winning or losing.
The participants in the first-ever Chicago Dota 2 Open may have come to win, but they certainly didn't seem to take it too seriously. Boasting names like Unicorn Justice, Ice Cream City, and (my personal favorite) Please Gank Shiibbyy, competitors didn't come off as the type of people who make fun of new players for not knowing the ropes. Instead, they seemed like perfectly normal folks with good manners, a sense of humor, and a willingness to answer stupid questions from a guy who wasn't even playing the game. Teams cheered each other on, stuck around after losses to watch other teams, and were generally class acts.
"Everyone was nice. Everyone was welcoming; everyone was cool." |
A tournament needs a winner, thought, and Please Gank Shiibbyy dominated the field from the opening bell. They sauntered undefeated to the two-match finale, with bested teams and other spectators and I all watching the delayed livestream in the front of the lounge, cheering every kill, every feed, and every rushed Rosh. And true to the feeling of the day, PGS was the victor but acted just like any other team: friendly, laid back, and polite to curious spectators browsing matches over their shoulders.
That word, "friendly," just kept coming up. Everyone was nice. Everyone was welcoming. And while there was the expected amount of gamer social awkwardness, everyone was cool.
A lesson learned
In the end, I couldn't have been more wrong about the Dota community. And while there's something to be said for the difference between in-person and online interaction, I'm convinced that the bulk of Dota 2's players, and other MOBAs by extension, are the same types of mellow and fun gamers whom I met at Saturday's tournament. I can't vouch for everyone -- heck, some of the nice people at the tournament could very well be online trolls -- but I'm willing to give every player I meet online the benefit of the doubt from this point forward.
Ignite has another open tournament planned for August, this one twice as big with twice the prize pool. I won't be signing up thanks to my Dota 2 incompetence, but I will be attending, this time without so much worry about whether or not I'll feel comfortable hanging out with a bunch of MOBA gamers.
As it turns out, they're pretty OK.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This is a great card! I really loved that you can personalize it however you want with text colors and sizes. The paper is thick and durable, and the added texture really makes it classy and rustic. It matched my invites perfectly! One tip: don't worry if you can't get your text exactly how you want it in the design stage; your personal design assistant can easily make the text larger, smaller, centered, etc. They made it look exactly how I wanted!"
"We actually used this as 'Reception' Cards rather than direction cards, so we put on information about when and where the cocktail hour and reception will be. I added the pearlized finish, which I really like. The online proof was helpful because they centered things in a way that the website wouldn't allow me to do and it looked very nice."
"We really needed to give our guests more information about our reception, so we chose this card and changed the wording up a bit. It is now a great little info card! WPD was wonderful at helping me with the wording. They pointed out any typos and suggested some word changes so that the card was more uniform with our invitations. I couldn't be happier!"
"I personalized this card or my needs and the company reviewed it and made great corrections that made it look. Even better"
"Everything, including color and font was exactly as I wanted and ordered. Nothing was brighter/duller than the images on the company site. Highly recommended."

Overall I have loved my Subarus but after

I have 90,000 miles on my car and needed a
new engine it was/is ridiculous. The engine
was insanely expensive and still doesn't run
perfectly. The car performed great on my
montana winter roads, was comfortable to
drive, needs more power but I suppose that
is why they introduced the 6 cylinder model.

With tremendous political daring, South African novelist Mike Nicol offers a luminous parable of his country's past. Bawdy and terrifying, fantastical yet eerily familiar, This Day and Age realizes the prophecy told to a newly elected president on the eve of his inauguration. After years of bountiful harmony will come plague and famine, during which a strange man-child with a Bible chained to his wrist and his army of the disenfranchised will gather strength in the most remote reaches of the land.

No Pants Subway Ride-Portland
Portland, Oregon (CNN) - It's gets pretty chilly this time of year -- especially if you're not wearing pants.
That's the reason behind the 13th annual "no pants subway ride". This group of transit users in Portland, Oregon stripped down from the waist down to raise attention -- and money -- for local homeless shelters. The event on the max commuter train isn't isolated to Oregon, either. It started in New York in 2002. Organizers say the pantless commuter rides have spread to 60 cities in 25 different countries.
