A New CatOur neighborhood stray is dead. I know thisA New Cat1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
because there is a black cat here I've never seen.
This cat is not the black splotch covered canvas stray
that clawed up and down my arm last winter
when I mistakenly tried to wrap it in a blanket
for warmth. This cat does not have the matted
fur that the stray did, does not deliberately stretch
out in front of my car tires the way the stray did
right before I had to leave for work, does not
chase lizards in the grass like the stray. This is not
the stray that aggressively meowed at me
when he wanted affection, nor is it the stray
that climbed our fence to try catching birds.
I'm certain this new cat must be lost, or else
looking for that same blotched canvas stray
that had become part of his family, too.

Children's Literature, Morality + Changing IdealsIntroductionChildren's Literature, Morality + Changing Ideals2 years ago in Articles & Interviews More Like This
With the invention of the printing press in the fifteenth century, and its gradual integration into society, people at last had access to literature. It was William Caxton who first saw the opportunity to make money by printing and selling those stories and fables hitherto told by word of mouth.
At this time, literature did not have age-specific target audiences. Inevitably, some stories appealed to children more than others. Robin Hood was especially popular, while Aesop's fables offered entertainment and life lessons to adults and children alike.
It is, of course, impossible to say exactly when and how literature was identified as a useful tool in teaching morality to children. It is speculated that there was no concept of 'childhood' before the eighteenth century, although historians debate this, as historians are apt to do. Whatever one's view on this, it cannot be denied that the older generation has throug
A Short VisitIn the country,A Short Visit2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
the scarcity of humanity,
our ability to stand outside and be alone,
holds an undeniable appeal to me.
Even in the cold, the quiet can be
a great friend. The sun was out today,
pleasant on the skin. The wind had subdued
from last night's blowing. I sat in my
great-grandfather's metal lawn chair.
He kept this one outside the barn.
Told me once how he found a meteorite
in the chair. Said it hit the barn
and bounced right down to sit a spell.
Said it gave him a little shock,
a space-spark he called it,
when he picked it up from its resting spot.
How old was he then?
My age? I only recall an aged,
bald, weathered, cowboy who still preferred
to do his business in the outhouse
instead of the indoor room with water
from pipes. He told me
he knew when I was being born
because his knees itched from where
I would sit and his hands stung
from where he would spank me.
He and Granny shared a small house,
blown by the horrid western Oklahoma wind,
on a hill that overlooked their pond
The Poetic Mind as a MuscleThe Poetic Mind as a MuscleThe Poetic Mind as a Muscle2 years ago in Articles & Interviews More Like This
As a poet at any given skill level, you might ponder different ways to advance your mastery of the craft. You might spend weeks dissecting famous and not so famous poets. You might read countless articles on poetic technique. You might just plow through any and every collection you can get your hands on, track all of the most well-know journals, follow all of the contemporaries. All of these things add up to a knowledgeable poet. However, does this necessarily make you a better poet?
No. The reason is that most of us equivocate poetic skill with divinely gifted talent. We often think of poetry as a latent ability that we merely possess or do not. This leads to certain diseases within the mind, whether it be the idea that our words are beyond reproach because they are "self expression," or we decide that words come out and that's all there is to it. Other times we are stricken by the undeniable flaws of our work, even t

ControlThe feeling came over Bill when he was out checking his trap line in the dying light of a winter evening. Eyes on the back of his head.

Dare you remove your mask, risk being betrayed?
Discover who you are, before you fade.

The Day You Drowned- to Oswaldo, my first friendThe Day You Drowned2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I could hear the ocean that morning, some
thirty miles from the coast, in that way
the waves always break down without anyone
around to see the waves break down
and it made no sense that I would wake
to the sound of the waves breaking down that
morning, but there I was, awake, ocean
in my ears, and alone. I learned what happened
much later, bike tire treading water at our
park, a sign hung in the rain. You were
alone, skirting, dancing with the shore
the way you always would, the way you always did
until then, when the ocean danced with you
and led you onward, your favorite music with
your favorite partner leading you on, foam
stepping forward, you stepping back. When
the false step happened, the ocean cradled you
because you were its favorite partner
and it never wanted to lose you, to be left
alone. You, being gracious, went along.
The ocean was in my ears this morning. I hope
you're still dancing in the ocean's arms.

Now it is at a still beat.
She only had good intentions,

She looks outside her window,

Her life was going away,

She realized it was gone,
so she took a knife.
She hesitated slightly,
but still sliced away with strife.
Her beautiful opal hair fell to the floor,
her skin grazed the rough wood.
With all of the cuts and bruises on her body,
she had suffered what no one should.
It was only a game meant for two,
but it had found its winner.

Death had just eaten dinner.
And so her story ended,

of bloody red and inky blue,

and chases away the black of the night,
and a bright, wide sky drenched in blue

"It is a process, and they have to go by rules, and some of them don't really like the rules," Hill said. "...It is explained to them what they can and cannot do, and some of them try to do otherwise."
Brittany has been diagnosed with microcephaly, which means the circumference of her head is smaller because her brain has not developed properly or has stopped growing, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders. She also has cerebral palsy, which limits her muscle coordination.
After Brittany graduates from high school, Melton will serve as her full-time caregiver.
"If she graduated in a couple of years, I will be at home caring for us because she's in a wheelchair and in diapers and requires complete total care," Melton said.
Over the past year, Melton has raised money to help care for Brittany by selling braided necklaces at sport tournaments and other events across Oklahoma. She used money that she raised to buy land for $20,500 where the house sits nearly completed.
Melton continues to sell the necklaces and save the money to ensure she will have enough set aside to provide for her daughter once Brittany graduates and Melton can no longer work, she said.
Melton said she is not alone in the issues she has faced with the home-building program. Other families have come forward and alleged similar complaints, she said.
One of those families includes Ada resident Jennifer LeFlore's sister, Shawna Stettler. After Stettler's home was built through Tri-County, she noticed issues with her attic ladder and a lack of insulation in parts of the attic.
They also found that weep holes, which are placed in a home's foundation to help drain water, were not properly installed, which she worried could lead to mold if water couldn't properly drain, LeFlore said.
"I just want her to get the things fixed on her house," LeFlore said. "I think my sister's main concern is this needs to stop. It's a great program if it was ran correctly. It's amazing to not have a down payment and have your payments adjusted over the past 33 years. It's a good thing to have a self-help program because she did get to put some perspective in it and have some pride it."
Even though Melton's home is outside Ada city limits, it still falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Oklahoma's minimum building code.
Jeff Click, immediate past president of the Oklahoma State Home Builders Association, said the Oklahoma Legislature passed a law a few years ago that requires builders, regardless of their location, to meet the minimum state building code.
"While the state of Oklahoma does not currently require licensing for home builders, it does require that homes be built to a recently-implemented state code, currently based on the 2009 International Residential Code," Click said. "This code must be the minimum standard adhered to by builders and contractors regardless of any governing municipal or county governing body's jurisdiction. This helps set a minimum standard that even rural homes must be built to, and it is advisable that all consumers in these areas confirm that the builder of their choice builds to this standard."

Why Jim Calhoun Needs to Coach UConn this Season
There has been so much chatter the last couple of days about whether or not UConn coach Jim Calhoun will return to the bench or not this season, and it's much deserved.
We know a couple of things for sure: 1) As of right now, UConn is banned from postseason play this season due to low APR scores (although they're still lobbying to have their ban dropped). 2) The Huskies have lost several key players from last seasons team to other schools and the NBA, and will face one of the most challenging seasons in recent history. And 3) Their 70-year old head coach is recovering from a fractured hip that he suffered in a bicycle accident, and has had multiple surgeries over the last few years.
Calhoun has talked about his legacy and leaving Storrs for a couple of years now, but news broke this week that he will make a decision within the next few weeks on his future, and with all of the reasons I just listed, the chances of him returning aren't looking all that great. That's why I think Calhoun needs to return to the Huskies, and lead them for at least one more season.
I understand Calhoun, the sixth winningest coach in Division 1 history, is only getting older and if his program is sanctioned, he may not have much motivation to stick around this season. But I think that's exactly why he should return to coaching.
Calhoun has one of the best recruits in the nation coming to play for him in Omar Calhoun, as well as talented returnees in Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright, but other than that, it's a team of inexperienced and new players, who likely won't bring UConn the success they're accustomed to achieving. The team is made up of a combined 6 freshmen/sophomores, which means they'll struggle, and potentially have one of the worst years of Calhoun's tenure. Which is why he has to stay and make a difference!
Moral is clearly down in Storrs. With the departures of Alex Oriakhi (Missouri) and Roscoe Smith (UNLV), Calhoun needs to take a stance and instill integrity back into the program that he's bound to be leaving in the near future. While recruiting's probably a drag for a 70-year old man recovering from hip surgery, send out assistant coach Kevin Ollie to try and restore talent into the program, while setting himself as a leader, and great candidate and replacement to someone who's almost irreplaceable.
Calhoun has stated that he would like for Ollie to replace him, but with a new athletic director in Warde Manuel running things as of late, Calhoun's request may not be met.
It's clear that Calhoun's nearing the end of the road, and if he does decide not to return this season, who can blame him? But keep in mind, he will unquestionably pass both Adolph Rupp and Dean Smith on the all-time wins list if he coaches this season, and there's an outside chance he can still catch Bobby Knight, who is just 27 wins ahead of him.
In the last decade, Calhoun has won 27 or more games in a season 5 times, and even though he doesn't have his most talented team this season, he wasn't expected to win a national title in 2011, but that didn't stop him.
Calhoun has always been a man of integrity, and one of the grittiest coaches in basketball history. There aren't many things he can do to improve his legacy, but it certainly wouldn't hurt it if he came back for at least one more season.

FGCU Completes Comeback to Beat KSU

It wasn't a pretty victory by any stretch of the imagination, but it was one heckuva comeback by the men of Dunk City!

Mount Everest was originally calculated to be 29,000 feet tall in 1856, but the reported number was changed to 29,002 to avoid people assuming it was merely a rounded estimate. Mount Everest's actual height of 29,029 feet was officially established in 1955.

Study: Black People Talk and Text the Most
When it comes to cellphone use, Black people surely have the gift of gab. According to new data from Nielsen, a consumer data and trend-tracking agency, Blacks spend an average of 1300 minutes talking on their cellphone per month. That's nearly twice the average for Whites (647 minutes) and a little more than Hispanics (826 minutes). Blacks and Hispanics also send the most text messages per month; an average of 780 for Blacks and 767 for Hispanics. Whites send an average of 566 text messages. Women aren't getting left behind either. The study found that women spend 22% more time talking on cellphones (856.3 minutes a month compared to men's 666.7) and send or receive an average of 601text messages. So what are the reasons for high cellphone usage among Black people? The Associated Press looks to recent statistics from the National Center for Health Statistics which found that Black people were less likely to own a home phone and more likely to use it to connect to the Internet (mostly because of poor adoption of home broadband). Regionally, Southerners were also more likely to spend time on cellphones. People in Mississippi, Texas and Florida spend an average of 800 minutes on the phone every month. Nielsen says it conducted the study by analyzing the cell phone bills of nearly 60,000 people.

Comment On This Article
The GSRC remains one of GNU's less known programs and is an easy way to download and install GNU software.
GSRC is short for the GNU Source Release Collection and is a BSD Ports-like system for installing packages. The new version out this past week is GSRC 2014.07.06 and it primarily updates existing packages while adding a few new packages.
New GNU packages for GSRC are easejs, gnudos, guile-opengl, and guile-rpc. The updated packages vary quite a bit but you can learn more about this release and GSRC via

When the guardians of Miaka "power-up," so to speak, a Chinese character appears on a part of their body. Tamahome's appears on his forehead. So Kevin is, in effect, powered up and ready to defend his woman. Bad things will probably come out of this, haha. |

Same here. As for the comic, fine work Robin. I say Kevin should dump the girl before she becomes a psychopath (if she isn't already.) Yes, the guy should appologized for bumping into Megan, but violence is never the answer. |

Perhaps the only thing that changes more rapidly than technology in today's amped-up digital environment is the terminology used to describe that technology and its impact on consumers--and marketers. One recent example is the advent of the term "omnichannel" marketing, which many struggle to differentiate from another relatively recent term--"multichannel" marketing. Still, those who are most enmeshed in the field say there is a key distinction between the two, and it's one that will have an impact on marketers as they continue to seek ways of having a meaningful impact on the consumers they hope to engage. And, importantly, it's less about technology than it may seem.
Mar 14, 2006
IBM has unveiled new business intelligence software, DB2 Data Warehouse Edition V9.1, designed to help clients make decisions about their operations, products, and services in real time by transforming raw business data to business insights. IBM DB2 Data Warehouse Edition (DWE) V9.1 is designed to help organizations remove cost and complexity, and overcome barriers to business growth, by combining components needed for real-time data warehouse administration, data mining, Online Analytical Processing (OLAP), and inline analytics and reporting.
DWE V9.1 features technology from IBM and two of the company's software acquisitions, Rational and Alphablox. The foundation of DWE is the DB2 Universal Database, which is supported by analytics design and development tools including Rational Data Architect and a network of partner offerings. DWE also includes DB2 Alphablox, a tool for developing custom applications with embedded analytics designed to leverage the information warehouse. Alphablox runs on WebSphere Application Server and provides an application framework, a programming model, and development tools for assembling analytic applications. Embedded data mining in DWE uses DB2 Intelligent Miner algorithms to analyze warehouse data 'where it resides' and provides fraud detection, financial forecasts, and insights into customer behavior.
DWE V9.1 also features an Eclipse-based Design Studio, a data discovery function that allows customers to profile data, and sample and view table contents, as well as visualize correlated statistics to understand what parts of the warehouse have potential for mining. The Design Studio offers a data flow editor that enables users to visually design data mining flows using advanced modeling, scoring, and visualization software. Later, SQL can be generated and pasted into an Alphablox page, a third party tool, or any customer application to invoke the mining flow for embedded analytics.

Broncos won't hesitate to look elsewhere for help
ENGLEWOOD — John Elway's philosophy is to address immediate needs in free agency, even though some of his own veterans may prove too pricey to keep around.
Eric Decker and Knowshon Moreno both said they'd love to stay in Denver, but they might find more lucrative offers elsewhere when free agency begins in a month.
Unlike the Seattle Seahawks, who throttled the Broncos in the Super Bowl, Denver has a high-priced quarterback who takes up a good chunk of the salary cap, limiting what the team can spend elsewhere.
Manning's salary cap charge for 2014 is $17.5 million, same as last season, which was more than Seattle's entire starting defense and about 25 times as much as Russell Wilson's $681,000 cap number.
"Yeah, but I'll tell you right now it's worth it for us to have Peyton Manning," Elway said. "That's just part of when you get a quality quarterback like that that we have in Peyton Manning. You know that's going to be a big chunk of your salary cap, but we got to figure out ways to find the right players."
At the right prices.
Elway, the team's executive vice president, had been busy on a blueprint long before the Super Bowl blowout. He knows he could lose Decker, Moreno and guard Zane Beadles on offense and he has to rebuild a defense that was obliterated by an injury epidemic.
The Broncos have 18 unrestricted and three restricted free agents, but Elway has to be prudent because big deals are looming next year for Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas and maybe Von Miller.

In "How the West Was Lost," the "New York Times" bestselling author Dambisa Moyo offers a bold account of the decline of the West's economic supremacy. She examines how the West's flawed financial decisions have resulted in an economic and geopolitical seesaw that is now poised to tip in favor of the emerging world, especially China. Amid the hype of China's rise, however, the most important story of our generation is being pushed aside: America is not just in economic decline, but on course to become the biggest welfare state in the history of the West. The real danger is a thome, Moyo claims. While some countries - such as Germany and Sweden - have deliberately engineered and financed welfare states, the United States risks turning itself into a bloated welfare state not because of ideology or a larger vision of economic justice, but out of economic desperation and short-sighted policymaking. "How the West Was Lost" reveals not only the economic myopia of the West but also the radical solutions that it needs to adopt in order to assert itself as a global economic power once again.

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB SOC Video Card - Benchmarks - Mafia II
NVIDIA release a new model and we want to know one thing - Can the GTX 560 Ti impress us like the GTX 460? It has big shoes to fill.Mafia II
Version and / or Patch Used: Latest Steam Update
Timedemo or Level Used: Built in Benchmark
Developer Homepage: http://www.2kczech.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.mafia2game.com/
Buy It Here
Mafia II is a third-person action-adventure video game, the sequel to Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. It is developed by 2K Czech, previously known as Illusion Softworks, and is published by 2K Games. The game is set from 1943 to 1951 in Empire Bay (the name is a reference to New York's state nickname "The Empire State"), a fictional city based on San Francisco and New York City, with influences from Chicago and Detroit. The game features a completely open-ended game map of 10 square miles. No restrictions are included from the start of the game. There are around 50 vehicles in the game, as well as licensed music from the era.
Here we can see that the GTX 570 performs slightly behind the GTX 560 Ti. To be honest, it's not a surprise as in the GIGABYTE press kit they did say it was capable of beating the GTX 570. This is some great performance, though; it's just a pity we're 2 FPS away from that magical 60 FPS number we like to see at the highest resolution.

Keeping Dog safe from bee Stings
I am new to beekeeping and am concerned about my sweet old black lab getting stung by my honey bees. There is a fence (and raspberry bushes) that will keep her 8- 10 feet away. Should I add more space than that? There are also large shrubs all around. Are there times of day or evening I should avoid having her outside? Would love to here from people with dogs and hives, especially city lots. Many Thanks!
I have had dogs and hives for quite a while. The hive is right at the edge of my yard with a small chicken wire 2ft around it so they don't stick their noses too close. Never had a problem. Unless your Lab had a major allergy problem I wouldn't worry about it.
This is my third day keeping bees, so take a grain of salt. My 14 year old Golden promptly went over and lapped the sugar syrup off the box my bees arrived in. She got stung at least twice in the mouth, but appeared totally unfazed by it, barely reacted except to immediately leave the bee area---no swelling, no yelping---really nothing---but it reminded me that I might want to keep some benedryl on hand for her. I am fully prepared---knowing my dog and how she likes to go to the expensive, emergency vet on weekends, in the middle of the night---to be wakened up at 2am by a distressed, puffy dog, but so far nothing.

Dogs rely on their sense of smell to identify people and learn things about them, especially people they do not know very well. Dogs have an extremely powerful sense of smell, and canines use their olfactory power to recognize people and ascertain things about their environment.
Know MoreAccording to the Purina website, dogs have 220 million olfactory receptors, which is 44 times as many olfactory receptors than humans possess. Dogs have the ability to recognize people and other dogs by scent, the same way that humans use eyesight. Dogs also have a remarkable memory for smells, and do not tend to sniff people they know as much as people who are unfamiliar to them.
Learn MoreThe term "blue nose pit bull" refers to a pit bull with a bluish coat color and a blue-gray nose leather. The blue nose pit bull is not a separate breed, nor is it any different than any other American pit bull terrier.
Full Answer >There is no breed known as the Norwegian Mastiff. Mastiff varieties include the Tibetan and English Mastiffs. Mastiffs are protective, territorial dogs that need heavy training and socialization to trust strangers.

Papal resignation linked to inquiry into Vatican gay officials, says paper
2013-02-22 0:00
By John Hooper |
Popes staff decline to confirm or deny La Repubblica claims linking Vatileaks affair and discovery of blackmailed gay clergy
A potentially explosive report has linked the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI to the discovery of a network of gay prelates in the Vatican, some of whom the report said were being blackmailed by outsiders.
The popes spokesman declined to confirm or deny the report, which was carried by the Italian daily newspaper La Repubblica.
The paper said the pope had taken the decision on 17 December that he was going to resign the day he received a dossier compiled by three cardinals delegated to look into the so-called "Vatileaks" affair.
Last May Pope Benedicts butler, Paolo Gabriele, was arrested and charged with having stolen and leaked papal correspondence that depicted the Vatican as a seething hotbed of intrigue and infighting.
According to La Repubblica, the dossier comprising "two volumes of almost 300 pages bound in red" had been consigned to a safe in the papal apartments and would be delivered to the popes successor upon his election.
The newspaper said the cardinals described a number of factions, including one whose members were "united by sexual orientation".
In an apparent quotation from the report, La Repubblica said some Vatican officials had been subject to "external influence" from laymen with whom they had links of a "worldly nature". The paper said this was a clear reference to blackmail.
It quoted a source "very close to those who wrote [the cardinals report]" as saying: "Everything revolves around the non-observance of the sixth and seventh commandments."
The seventh enjoins against theft. The sixth forbids adultery, but is linked in Catholic doctrine to the proscribing of homosexual acts.
La Repubblica said the cardinals report identified a series of meeting places in and around Rome. They included a villa outside the Italian capital, a sauna in a Rome suburb, a beauty parlour in the centre, and a former university residence that was in use by a provincial Italian archbishop.
Father Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, said: "Neither the cardinals commission nor I will make comments to confirm or deny the things that are said about this matter. Let each one assume his or her own responsibilities. We shall not be following up on the observations that are made about this."
He added that interpretations of the report were creating "a tension that is the opposite of what the pope and the church want" in the approach to the conclave of cardinals that will elect Benedicts successor. Another Italian daily, Corriere della Sera, alluded to the dossier soon after the pope announced his resignation on 11 February, describing its contents as "disturbing".
The three-man commission of inquiry into the Vatileaks affair was headed by a Spanish cardinal, Julián Herranz. He was assisted by Cardinal Salvatore De Giorgi, a former archbishop of Palermo, and the Slovak cardinal Jozef Tomko, who once headed the Vaticans department for missionaries.
Pope Benedict has said he will stand down at the end of this month; the first pope to resign voluntarily since Celestine V more than seven centuries ago. Since announcing his departure he has twice apparently referred to machinations inside the Vatican, saying that divisions "mar the face of the church", and warned against "the temptations of power".

Can I make a tarp solely out of silnylon, or do I also need other fabrics like nylon or something???
Can I make a tarp solely out of silnylon, or do I also need other fabrics like nylon or something???
I made my black cat out of only Syl
The whole entire tarp has nothing but silnylon, no like nylon corners or other fabric layers for added strength or anything like that?
Like what kind of heavier material??
The local Walmart has only 4yd and 16in worth of Silnylon! Do you guys think that is enough for a tarp. I don't have to make a rectangular tarp. I could make something else, but I'm not sure how I could.
If anyone has an idea as to how I could make a tarp with that much fabric please share.
Please and thank you
it would be long enough but it's not going to be but about 60" wide. you would need two of those.
besides, i'm always suspicious when someone says they found silnylon at walmart. i think some have, but i believe what some have thought was silnylon was actually just a DWR treated 1.1oz ripstop.
speer hammocks is the cheapest place i know to get true silnylon. you can make a large tarp for less than $50.00.
don`t leave the CREATOR out of the creation!
aceatc- you're going to spend more money on gas than if you just call the Speers. For $29.75 + shipping you could get enough sil to make a cat cut tarp 10' long. Or you could spend the extra $4.25 and make yourself a full-on BlackCat with a 12' length. So, yeah $30 or $40 and no guessing about the material.
Probably about $6 in gas, maybe like $12.
But yes, odds are really against me finding the material and even if I do it won't say what the heck it is.

America must return to the vision of Dr. King, recognizing that our economic, political, and social systems are inter-dependent. We ultimately cannot prosper alone. Either we all prosper together, or we do not prosper at all.
Read Whole Story
Wikipedia may keep a running tab on "African American firsts" but apart from maintaining a historical record, why should they really matter at all in this so-called post-Civil Rights, post-race era?
To those former leaders of the Civil Rights movement who want to assert leadership over OWS in different parts of the country, my advice to them is let OWS "do their thing".
David Margolick's new book is just the cautionary tale to remind us, we aren't there yet, that as a nation and as people, until we begin to learn greater empathy, we never will be there.
Occupy Wall Street is reminiscent of the mid-20th century civil rights, women's lib, and peace movements, as well as the great labor battles of the '30s and '40s that brought unions and shared prosperity broadly to the working class.
I cannot help but to wonder, which King now stands enshrined on the mall? For our answer to this question speaks not only to who we consider ourselves to be as a nation, but also to who we have made Dr. King to be, and what we consider to be his enduring legacy.
We veterans of the Sixties have become encrusted with doubt. I'm putting mine aside and going to Wall Street. This kernel of activism might spawn a powerful populist movement, and if it does, I want to help it along.
The selfless "by any means necessary" valor, that once ignited our passion to unite and conquer, has seemingly been eradicated by egotistic attempts to acquire a portion of the American "dream."
Occupy Wall Street is a tide of upheaval and alienation, much like the other crucial movements in our past that led to a more equal and fairer American society.
By STACY A. ANDERSON, The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama saluted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Sunday as a man who "stirre...
We don't need concrete demands to sympathize with the frustration and anger that Americans feel. The Occupy Wall Street movement is the grassroots activism we need to pay attention to -- and it is the start of action.
A few hours before I learned of Steve Jobs' death, I got a text message from my wife on my Steve Jobs-inspired iPhone: civil rights leader Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth had died.
Last week we lost two great visionary leaders whose impact on the world has forever changed our lives. Yet, sadly, I think we missed the opportunity to make their contributions to society a real teachable moment for our children.
The church's proper role is to stand on the side of the disenfranchised and to call out wrongdoing and injustice in our society. Jesus did not say," I have come that you might be comfortable."
Last week America lost a man who changed the world. If you assume I'm referring to Steve Jobs, the Apple founder who passed away last week after a lengthy battle with cancer, you'd be wrong. I'm actually referring to Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth.
Throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, Harry Belafonte shattered boundaries, risked his life and became a voice for humanity. His inspiring and compelling journey is chronicled in HBO's deeply beautiful memoir documentary, Sing Your Song.
Reverend Shuttlesworth never failed to encourage others to put their eloquent words into action. Even upon the threat of death, he would retort, "I wasn't saved to run."

Before he died, Troy told us that this was about more than him -- and he called on those of us who have fought against his execution to continue fighting for justice, even if we weren't successful in saving his life.
The climate cause has had its moments before. But with those 1,252 tar-sands arrests outside the White House, it has finally graduated. It's a true movement now.
WASHINGTON -- If you want to attend the dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial on the National Mall, check back a little later this fall. ...
King was profound in a profane world. He was amazingly impactful and proved that one man can make a difference. As we see King today, as we mount a statue on the Washington mall, the backdrop is politicians gone mad.
The bus driver pointed to the rear and told me to go sit there. That was the moment I realized my mother did not sit on the back of the bus because she preferred to, but because she had no choice.
I am part of a generation that stands on the shoulders of giants from the modern civil rights movement. And now my generation is called to no less of an urgent state of affairs. The dream of our democracy -- advanced and protected by heroes past and present -- is still not yet achieved.
