On writing:
I used to be the type to write lyrics before I had the beat 'cause I never had any beats. But now that I'm blessed to have some beats, I write them to the music.
On the beat & song concept of "Start A War":
The beat brought it [the concept] out in me. Once I heard the track, you know. I've been through that situation a few times, so it kinda just whatever the emotion of the track is where I go. I like the emotion of the track to fit the actual song.
It's actually easier for me to do [personal tracks] than weed, and money and everything else [Laughs]. Actually all that is harder for me to write.
I mean because I'm more of a distinctive person. I've been through some real problems and real situations that I wouldn't wish on my enemies. So I like to enlighten them because, you know, when I was doing what I was doing, you be cool with the money and you got the fly cars and stuff, but there's some causalities to that, and I like to sometimes give 'em both sides, the pros and the cons of it.
It's a real experience for me, but it's like I've been through it so many times, so I kinda added all my situations in one. I done had over ten friends who've been shot. So it's like that situation going over and over again in your head. So I just put it together in one story that happened to me when I was younger.
On growing up in Georgia:
You know what's crazy, in Georgia at 18 we we're allowed to have rifles. You couldn't have a handgun, but you could have a rifle. At 18 we have shotguns, everybody has a shotgun, everybody has a pistol too. But you know, growing up in Georgia, it's crazy for me, 'cause I'm not from the streets...All my family is from the streets it's just my mother and father, they both got married and once they both had two jobs it was good enough for us to move out the hood. So now we're not in the hood anymore, it was like a black community, but it was in a good-looking neighborhood. But you know, just being us, we get to breaking into houses, and getting guns and stealing cars, and all that just goes and goes and goes. Even though I'm from a good neighborhood—we ain't have to do it, but everybody wants the new Jays. You gotta go get the new Jordan money 'cause your mother definitely don't got it.
On his story-telling style of rap:
'Cause when I'm story-telling I can actually tell the truth. I don't like to over-exaggerate. I don't like to just be flamboyant on the track. 'Cause when I'm really getting that type of money I wanna rap about it and be fresh. I don't wanna just rap about the Lamborghini and everything on my first album 'cause then what else you gon' give us? That was your pinnacle. Plus I'm a fan of like, I tell people this all the time, you got to the club you hear UGK, 8Ball, you know what I'm sayin, those type of artists, but I studied like the Nas', the Jay-Zs, the Eminems, the Big Ls. I really studied those artists, and implicated that in my style.
On if the sequencing of "Far Removed" to "Start A War"to "Round Da Corner" was purposeful:
Yeah,absolutely. I'm glad you noticed that. I be in there sayin' that, people be lookin' at me like I'm crazy, but I be like, "trust me, man, there's somebody in the world that understands this." So if you hear it, it's like a real movie, I want to let you know I'm not that far removed from that life. I'm not someone who grew up on that lifestyle like, "oh I'm still in it." If you still in the streets and you're doing music you're stupid to me. When I heard it I was like, "okay, let's give them "Far Removed" so they understand where I'm from and what I've been through, then give them a situation in the deepest form, and then give them "Round Da Corner" to sum it up, to say this is what happens when you hang around and do these type of things." Absolutely.
On his favorite verse or lines from "Start A War":
Ah, there's so many in there. There's so many real lines. "I feel like Tre in the back of the Impala"—a lot of people don't know from "Boyz In The Hood," Tre was the dude where his dad would tell him this ain't right cuz they killed his best friend, you know what I'm sayin. He didn't know how to handle it, he was tryna handle it like he thought he should and how everyone encouraged him too, but sometimes you need that rude-awakening moment in your life. I like um, "we was like brothers, used to hang tight/we used to wear the same clothes, rode the same bike," it don't get no realer..'we even hit the same girl/we was the same height.' It's crazy how many of friends have been shot, now that I'm talking to you, doing an interview about it, it's like ridiculous. Get shot in a car accident, everybody got in one of those.
On beat inspiration and creation:
Mike D: Honestly I have to give credit to my wife. One day she was playing this Adele record in the house and I said, "what's that?" She said, "it's Adele 'Turning Tables.'" I said, "word? Aight." I wrote it down and knew it was something I wanted to work on. Like a week later I started putting it together, gathering additional sounds and getting a good blueprint. After I did my part I sent it to Jug and he tweaked it, sequenced it and added some additional things and that's pretty much it.
On the sample:
Jug: The sample is what we love best, dark, brooding piano loop with beautiful vocals as an added plus. Samples like these producers search high and low for.
Mike D: Amen!
On if the beat was made specifically for CyHi:
Mike D: No, we usually just make beats in general and stash them. Later we find out who's working and go through what we have and send what we feel will work for them. CyHi picked that one and it wasn't a surprise to us, CyHi is very good at being descriptive in his records and really knows how to paint a picture. If you watched some of his videos from his past mixtapes you can see that's a craft he has mastered. So when he picked that beat we knew he was going to create something memorable.
Jug: Being able to tell a story on record these days is a lost art and CyHi definitely knows how to get it done vividly. We felt it would be a perfect combo and we were right!
On equipment used to create the beat and go-to machines:
Mike D: That beat was made entirely with Native Instruments Maschine
Jug: After the beat was made in Maschine we run it through Pro Tools for some additional mixing, equalization etc..
Mike D: We use Maschine, Pro Tools, Fruity Loops, Logic whatever we feel like messing with that day.
Jug: Yeah, We still have hardware we mess with like the MPC 2000XL, The Phantom and a few other things.
On getting the beat to CyHi:
Mike D: We spoke a few times via email and Twitter about it. So it really wasn't about if it was going to happen, it was more about when it will it happen.
I just reached out to him letting him know we had some things for him. He was wrapping up so he immediately wanted us to send them.
Giving you the direct perspective from CyHi The Prynce and Arkatech Beatz, "In The Cut" is an HNHH series that highlights a specific cut by speaking to both the artist and producer about the song's creation.
In The Cut is a new series we're starting on HNHH, and the premise is pretty straightforward: we choose one track that we are really feeling and talk to the artist and the producer of that specific cut to find out how it all came together, from both sides.
The first edition features a CyHi The Prynce song, "Start A War," off his recent mixtape, Ivy League: Kick Back. The Arkatech Beatz-produced track was the perfect joint to kick off the series, with CyHi's lyrical ability and story-telling on full display, backed by a strong sampled-instrumental from Arkatech Beatz.
CyHi helps put the song into context by explaining how life was growing up in Georgia, he details why he likes to tell stories when he raps, shares his favorites lines from the song and more. Arkatech Beatz reveal how they found the sample on "Start A War," and how the instrumental came together before finally sending it off to the rapper.
Check out the full piece below. If there are any songs you'd like to see featured on In The Cut, let us know in the comments.

Posterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
(PCL Tear)
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is connective tissue located within the knee. The PCL connects the thighbone to the shinbone. This connection keeps the shinbone from moving too far backward, stabilizing the knee.
Posterior Cruciate Ligament
The PCL ligament can become strained or torn when a strong force is applied to it. This force can occur during sports or other high-stress activity.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of injuring the PCL include:
- Sports injury
- Motor vehicle accident
- Fall on a bent knee
- Strong force to the leg immediately below the kneecap
- Knee dislocation
A PCL tear may cause:
- Pain and swelling in the knee
- Soreness in the area behind the knee
- Weakness or instability in the knee
- Difficulty walking
- Pain when moving the knee
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Images may need to be taken of the internal structure of your knee. This can be done with:
Ligament sprains are graded according to their severity:
- Grade 1—Mild ligament damage.
- Grade 2—Partial tearing of the ligament.
- Grade 3—Complete tearing of the ligament.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Recovery time ranges depending on the grade of your injury. Treatment steps may include:
Acute Care
Your ligament will need time to heal. Avoid activities that place extra stress on the knee:
- Do not do activities that cause pain. This includes running, jumping, and weight lifting using the legs.
- Do not play sports until your doctor has said it is safe to do so.
Your doctor may recommend a knee brace to stabilize the knee, and crutches to keep extra weight off your leg.
To reduce pain and swelling, apply an ice pack to the area for 15-20 minutes, four times a day, for several days after the injury. Do not apply the ice directly to your skin. Wrap the ice pack in a towel.
Pain Relief Medications
To manage pain, your doctor may advise:
- Over-the-counter medication, such as ibuprofen and naproxen
- Topical pain medication—creams or patches that are applied to the skin
- Prescription pain relievers
Recovery Steps
Physical Therapy
Your doctor may refer you to a physical therapist. Therapy can help control discomfort and promote recovery.
Use heat only when you are returning to physical activity. Heat may then be used before stretching or getting ready to play sports to help loosen the ligament.
Some steps that may help decrease your chance of getting a PCL injury include:
- Protect your knees by doing regular strengthening exercises for your thighs.
- Maintain proper technique when exercising or playing sports.

BATON ROUGE- The Louisiana Civil Service Commission approved a play to layoff 350 employees at the state-run Southeast Louisiana Hospital, a mental facility located in Mandeville.
The state is closing the hospital and allowing it to reopen under the control of private contractors. State health leaders say it's no longer feasible for the government to operate the site.
The "Save Southeast Hospital" group is a grassroots organization opposed to the plan. Members question the savings calculated by the state. There is also concern about some employees losing their benefits after working for years at lower wages than the private sector.
The Civil Service Commission approved the plan by a four-three vote. The layoffs go into effect in early January.

This is my first post on the Gartner blog network. It feels a little odd to be posting after nearly 3 months away – my old blog at www.itmarketstrategy.com was a frequently updated place. I hope to make this one the same. Why the lag?
It turns out that there is a great deal of prior art to deal with when you're a Gartner analyst. This is no small matter – with over 700 other analysts publishing regularly, I want to be sure that I'm aware of "Gartner positions" on key issues. Not because I won't be willing to take a contrary view – but if so, I need to be respectful and explain why I differ. And as a courtesy, it's appropriate to have a dialogue with the author of that position. Not to do so would not only be disrespectful, but it would confuse our readers, Gartner clients or not.
Another issue to consider is priorities. Managing my time begins with client inquiry response. I've been stunned by the volume of inquiry I've had since I "went live" on internal systems here. It helps to be in such a hot space – data, big, small, batch or interactive, structured or not, appliance or cloud….there are so many questions our clients have, and I'm routinely handling several inquiries every day that I'm available. It's a fantastic source of input for me to understand what people are concerned about, investing in, or deploying. My perspective is shifting steadily based on that input – the last few years were very vendor-centric for me, and that skews your point of view. Processing those changes, and doing the grunt work of digging in to answer questions about issues I haven't been close to for a while, has taken some time.
Finally, there is another question of priorities: publishing Gartner research is at the top of the list. As I've gotten ramped up, trained, handled inquiries, and kept my usual ear to the ground via events and briefings, I've been slow to start the writing process. All of the above things not only felt prerequisite, they competed for my time. But now, I feel up to speed, and I've implemented a scheduling model that will let me carve out the time I need to do the writing well.
For those wondering where I've been, I'm back. I've been learning the ropes. But I'm not tied up anymore. Watch this space!

Google in 'new approach' on China
Google has announced a "new approach" in its ongoing battle with China over censorship.
Until recently, the firm automatically redirected Chinese users to its unfiltered search site in Hong Kong to get round censorship issues.
Google has said it will now stop this after Beijing warned it could lose its licence to operate in the country.
Instead, Chinese users will be sent to a "landing page". Clicking anywhere on it sends them to the Hong Kong site.
In practice, this will make little difference to Chinese internet users as searches for sensitive topics are still blocked by China's great firewall.
However, Google said that the subtle change - where users have to actively click on a link to access unfiltered search results rather than being automatically redirected - was "consistent" with its approach not to self-censor search results and was hopeful it would allow it to continue operating in China.
Chinese law demands that companies use web servers based in China and that they agree to censor certain sensitive information.
BBC technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones said there was no guarantee the Chinese authorities would accept the new arrangement.
'Sophisticated attack'Google announced the changes one day before the deadline to renew its Internet Content Provider (ICP) licence, necessary to operate in the country.
It's called the "Google Dance".
To show up at the top of Google's search pages, companies regularly have to change the way their websites work, fine-tuning them as Google constantly updates its search algorithm.
Right now, Google is doing its very own Google Dance, but to the tune of the Chinese authorities.
Google can't afford to be kicked out of China - not commercially, because China already is the world's largest internet market, and not ideologically, because you cannot claim to "organise the world's information" if you have one massive black hole right in the middle of it.
While search engine optimisation is relatively straightforward, Google will find it much harder if not impossible to please China's political algorithm.
The Chinese authorities want to control what their citizens watch and read. Google's latest move doesn't meet this goal. But yielding control would critically damage Google's brand in the rest of the world.
"Without an ICP licence, we can't operate a commercial website like Google.cn—so Google would effectively go dark in China," said David Drummond of the firm in a blog post.
"That's a prospect dreaded by many of our Chinese users, who have been vocal about their desire to keep Google.cn alive."
A spokesperson for the firm said Google was about to submit its new ICP application to the government and had made the changes in an effort to continue operating in the country.
It has already begun to channel some Chinese web users to the new page.
"Over the next few days we'll end the redirect entirely, taking all our Chinese users to our new landing page—and today we re-submitted our ICP licence renewal application based on this approach," said Mr Drummond.
Google has had a long history of run-ins with the Chinese authorities.
However, these escalated in January when the search firm announced that it was considering withdrawing from China altogether following a "sophisticated" cyber attack originating from the country.
The attacks targeted the e-mail accounts of Chinese human rights activists, along with the computers and infrastructure of Google and several other US firms.
The firm eventually decided to stay in the country, but offer Chinese users unfiltered search results through its Hong Kong servers.
The latest move was part of the firm's ambition to "make information available to users everywhere," said Mr Drummond.
"This new approach is consistent with our commitment not to self censor and, we believe, with local law. We are therefore hopeful that our licence will be renewed."
China hopes that nearly half the population will have access to the internet within five years. That figure is nearly 30% at the moment.
Losing business in the country could harm Google's future growth prospects.
However, unlike in other markets, Google is not focused on search in China, which is currently dominated by Baidu.
Instead, experts say, Google aims to develop its music and maps services in the country.

Steelers-Vikings: It's still early
Steelers-Vikings: It's still early
http://community.post-gazette.com/bl...k/default.aspx By Bob Smizik | Tuesday, 12:30 a.m. After a stretch of games against two of the many awful, awful teams in the NFL, the Steelers get back to reality Sunday when they play the undefeated Minnesota Vikings. Compared to the past two weeks, when victory was all but assured and the usual edge that accompanies Steeler games was missing, the matchup with the Brett Favre-led Vikings almost seems like a playoff game. Almost. Its only the seventh game. Were not even to the halfway point of the season. A loss will hurt but will hardly be season-ending. Let's not forget, the Steelers were 7-5 after 12 games in 2005 and looking nothing like the Super Bowl champion they would become. A win over the Vikings would be nice, but would hardly mean the Steelers are on their way to the playoffs, let alone the Super Bowl. Although the Steelers are tied for first in the AFC North division with the Cincinnati Bengals, this season, Brett Favrelike the last one, could well come down to the two games with the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens, not the Bengals, will be the Steelers chief rival for the division title. As long as two games remain with the Ravens, who lost by two points at Minnesota Sunday, there figures to be nothing resolved about this season. The Steelers and Ravens seem to be following similar profiles. Both were once known for their great defense and adherence to running the ball, but they've slipped a bit defensively and are looking to strong-armed quarterbacks to lead the way. Ben Roethlisberger, in his sixth season, is among the elite quarterbacks in the NFL. Baltimores Joe Flacco is moving rapidly in that direction. Flacco was regarded as a game manager as a rookie last season. This year he has the look of a gunslinger. The Ravens are eighth in the NFL in passing and the Steelers second. Roethlisberger is first in passing yards, Flacco is fourth. The Steelers play Baltimore Nov. 27 at M&T Bank Stadium and Dec. 29 at Heinz Field. Those will have the very real feel of a playoff game. The Steelers and Vikings is an important game, particularly for the Steelers. But even if the Steelers lose, theyll be a game out of first with a game remaining against the Bengals, at home, and two with the Ravens. What this game should mostly serve as is a barometer of how good the Steelers are. The Vikings are the best team theyve faced this season and sometimes good teams play up to the level of their competition. The Steelers have not been overly impressive but their recent history tells us they can be excellent. The Vikings, like the Steelers, have had their share of the awful opponents, with wins over Cleveland, Detroit and St. Louis. But theyve also beaten Baltimore, San Francisco and Green Bay. The Vikings Adrian Peterson leads the NFL in rushing with 104 yards a game and Favre is third in passing efficiency, one slot in front of Roethlisberger, who leads in yards. A key area where the Vikings excel is scoring. They're second in the NFl with 31 points a game. It should be a dandy but remember this: It's the seventh week of the season. |

Re: Steelers-Vikings: It's still early
its gonna be a tough game, by no means easy, but its not impossible to win...if we do wat we always do, which is play up or down to our level of competition, i give us a real shot in this game. the experts will say the steelers will lose, but i believe if we shut down peterson, favre will make enough mistakes for us to win, especially with troy getting increasingly healthier

Festival of Culture at the Forum - A stiltwalker entertains the crowds - Photo: David Bale
David Bale
Sunday, September 16, 2012
Refugees and immigrants, from the Strangers in the 16th century to the East Europeans in recent years, have always been welcomed to Norwich, and an annual celebration of the multi-cultural city was held at the Forum today.
Each year the Festival of Culture provides a focus through which Norwich Mind promotes, challenges and develops an understanding of multi-culturalism, equality, and diversity in the city.
And today's event was a chance for the estimated one in 10 people in Norwich who came from abroad to show everyone else what they bring to the community.
Paola Colombo, who works for Norwich Mind as an inclusion officer, said: "This is the eighth festival that we've done but the first one at the Forum. The idea is to show the people of Norwich how diverse the city has become, and to take pride in it."
She said that about 11pc of the city's residents came from overseas, with about 28 different languages spoken in the city.
Among the communities represented was the Bulgarian, which comprises about 1000 people in Norfolk, according to Galya Clark, from Wymondham.
She said: "Many Bulgarians have been in the area more than five years and we have more than 100 members on our Facebook page."
Visitors to a Bulgarian stall at the Forum were able to sample some delicious food including lukum, a type of Turkish delight, a Bulgarian white cheese called sirene, and pitka, a home-made bread. All of these foods are available from a new Bulgarian shop in Dereham Road, Norwich.
Visitors were also entertained by Norwich Malayalees, traditional dance from South India, whose members included Dana John and Alisha Kallarackal, who both live in Norwich.

Is it true that next month the forum are hosting a "Born n Bred in Norwich" celebration ? I hear the council will be offering help to local natives, helping them with housing, jobs and offering free laptops to those willing to go to college - Or was i dreaming ?
Monday, September 17, 2012
The natives are getting restless, this is why in-yer-face brainwashing propaganda stunts, like this one are trotted out every few months. All's good for those on the bandwagon of pointless jobs.... inclusion officers etc,etc...etc!!

*** "Moderator , how about limiting J Norton to one login account. One man , one login . Ban multiple accounts ".*** A reasonable post , but Bookworm+Norton has reported it . Why ? Are you actually denying you are posting under at least 6 other account logins. You know it , i know it , even the moderator knows it now .
Monday, September 17, 2012
More than 1 in 10 Norwich people born abroad. No problem if this had been predicted and the necessary investment made in schools, healthcare and social housing to take the extra 20,000 peolpe. Yet, the UK just muddles through with no consensus or control of its destiny.
Monday, September 17, 2012
to last poster--of course not!!!!
Sunday, September 16, 2012
i agree--too many brain washing events on at the forum.pity it is not just a library ---with a massive empty vestibule.
Monday, September 17, 2012

During the last decade, nano and micro-technology has become an important industry. It is a rapidly growing, highly interdisciplinary field at the interface of physics, engineering, chemistry and biology. The pico to nanoliter scale not only allows a high degree of parallelisation, but also offers superb control. Small objects such as cells can be exposed to unique conditions, facilitating entirely novel approaches, which will be discussed at the conference.
The conference will be co-located with Advances in Biodetection & Biosensors, Single Cell Analysis Europe and Advances in Microarray Technology at the Estrel Berlin Hotel, Germany. Registered delegates will have unrestricted access to all co-located meetings ensuring a comprehensive learning and sharing experience as well as being financially beneficial for attendees. Running alongside Lab-on-a-Chip European Congress will be an exhibition covering the latest technological advances and associated services within these fields. We look forward to welcoming you at the Lab-on-a-Chip European Congress and Exhibition and hope that the two days will be both informative and enjoyable. Keynote Speakers

Philadelphia: Lippincott, Grambo and Co, 1857. [format: book; image], [genre: government document; report]. Permission: Northern Illinois University
TO ascertain the character and extent of Lousiana, and the numbers of the Indian tribes within its area, Mr. Jefferson despatched expeditions up the Missouri and Mississippi. The first was led by Merriwether Lewis and William Clark, captains in the army, both of whom were commissioned for that purpose. They left St. Louis, May 14, 1804, and ascended the Missouri through the territories of the Osages, Kansas, Otoes, and Sioux, to that of the Mandans, where they wintered. The following year they continued their route through the countries of the Tetons, Crows, and Blackfeet, to the source of the Missouri, in the Rocky Mountains, and, crossing this range, descended the valley of the Columbia to the point where it empties into the Pacific. Retracing their steps from this remote position, they descended the Missouri to St. Louis, where they landed, September 23, 1806. This was the first exploratory expedition sent, out by the Government; and its results, while they evinced the great personal intrepidity of the explorers, were suited to convey an exalted opinion of the value and resources of this newly-acquired section of the Union. It was found to be a difficult task to enumerate the Indian population of the Columbia valley, owing to the confusion of synonymes and other causes; consequently, over-estimates were inevitable. The aboriginal population was rated at 80,000 471 and the distance travelled, from the mouth of the Missouri to that of the Columbia, on the Pacific, at 3555 miles. 472 The observations made by Mr. Lewis on the Indian trade, disclosed gross irregularities, which were directly traceable to the era of Spanish rule, and such modifications were suggested as would tend to place the natives in a better position, as well as to improve the system. 473 The amount of information obtained by the officers of this expedition constituted a valuable addition to our knowledge of the Indians and their country; and the observations of General William Clark, joined to his acquired experience, admirably qualified him for the duties of the office to which he was, in after time, appointed, that of Superintendent of Indian Affairs at St. Louis, on this frontier. At the same period, Lieutenant Z. M. Pike, U. S. A., was commissioned to explore the A considerable addition was thus made to our knowledge of the character and habits of the extreme western and northern Indians, and the duties of the Indian Department thereby greatly increased. The State of Ohio was admitted into the Union in 1803, at which period the territory of Indiana was organized, and General William Henry Harrison appointed its Governor, as well as, ex officio, Superintendent of Indian Affairs. Harrison had served as an aid to General Wayne, in his Indian campaigns, and entered upon the duties of his office with the additional experience acquired under this redoubtable chief; his skill in military tactics being fully equalled by his knowledge of the aboriginal character, which, combined with his address and activity, soon made him respected as a plenipotentiary at their council fires. For many years he shared with General Clarke, of St. Louis, the onerous and responsible duty of preserving peace on the frontiers. Two or three elements of discord had existed in the Indian communities located along the frontiers, from the outbreak of the Revolution, which were not extinguished by its successful termination, and still smouldered, after the close of the Indian war, in 1795. Among these, was the preference of the western tribes for the British nation, arising, perhaps, from the conquest of Canada, but kept up by political fallacies, England had secured the good will of the French residents, in whose hands the important commerce with the Indians was concentrated, and still remained. The possession of the Indian trade has ever exercised a controlling influence on the policy of the Indians; which is wielded, not by ministers plenipotentiary, or high secretaries of state, but by the little local traders on the frontiers, petty clerks, interpreters employed by commercial houses, and couriers du bois, who never fail to make their principles square with their interests; and it is a matter of little moment to the limited ambition of this class, who influence the destinies of courts or of nations, provided they be permitted to control the traffic in beaver skins. While the French held Louisiana, no counter-interests disturbed the harmony of their intercourse with the natives; but, when the government was vested in the Spanish crown, the rival interests of the Spanish and French merchants had produced discord between their subordinates, which extended also to the Indians. The cession of Louisiana to the United States calmed these troubles; all differences were forgotten, and the contending parties readily accommodated themselves to the American system. But in Florida there was never the least abatement in this strife for commercial supremacy; the thirst for gain acknowledging no nationality. On the contrary, during the short period when Florida was held by the British crown, a new feature was developed in the character of the Indian trade, which imparted to it additional vigor and system. We have, in a preceding page, alluded to this fact, which was the introduction of the Scottish element among the aboriginal population. One of its most important results was the intermarriage of the Scotch traders with the native females, 575 thereby giving a permanent character to their influence, and exercising a beneficial ethnological effect on the chiefs and ruling families of the native race. Though it produced, or rather precipitated, the previously existing tendency to the formation of two classes in Indian society, it gave a definite direction to the Indian mind; and, while the Galphins, the Millidges, and their compeers, reaped the harvest of trade, the M'Intoshes, the M'Gillivrays, and other chiefs of their race, by infusing their blood into the aboriginal current, gave to the Creeks, Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, and Seminoles, a higher social and national character. The fact that this intermixture of the races was coincident with the employment of African slave labor by the higher Indian class, was merely incidental. The negroes fled into the Indian territory to escape servitude in the Southern States, and voluntarily assumed the performance of labor, as an equivalent for the shelter, support, and comparative ease and enjoyment Indian life afforded them. Along the entire northern borders, southward to the line of demarcation designated by the treaty of Versailles, and throughout Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois, as well as the present areas of Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota, British capital and enterprise were the great basis and stimulus of the Indian traffic. The limits of this trade had receded very far to the north-west after the victories of Wayne; Maumee, Vincennes, Kaskaskia, Detroit, and Michilimackinac, no longer formed centres for the trade. There had been, up to the commencement of Mr. Madison's administration, no public effort made to prevent foreigners from pursuing their traffic with the Indians north of the shores of Lakes Huron and Michigan. One of the peculiar characteristics of the Indians is, that they are wont to give their attention to the lowest order of counsellors; not because of any preference they have for an inferior grade of intellect, but from a natural suspicion that persons in higher positions are always governed by sinister motives; and suggestions from these subordinate sources would appear, sometimes, to be invested with importance, in the precise ratio that they are removed from plausibility or truth. Whoever has, either as a plenipotentiary or a commissioner, passed through the ordeal of an Indian council, controlled by the diverse interests of the trade, and of the half-breed relations and protégées of the tribes, will appreciate the force of this remark.

UTEP will look to get back on track when it heads to the "Sunshine State" to square off against UCF at 5 p.m. MST on Thursday. The Miners (12-9, 4-5 C-USA) were edged out by UAB, 62-56, on Feb. 6. The Knights (12-10, 5-4 C-USA) halted a two-game skid by taking down Tulsa, 61-48, on the road on Feb. 6. Thursday's match-up will serve as the only meeting on the year between the programs.
The game will be broadcast locally in El Paso on the radio waves through KHRO 1150 AM. Live stats will be available thanks to Gametracker on UCF's athletic site.
All 12 Conference USA teams have won a game in league play, including 10 which have picked up three or more. Houston (9-0) more than halfway to a perfect regular-season slate while Memphis (7-3), Rice (6-3), Tulane (6-4) and UCF (5-4) are all above .500. The Miners (4-5), SMU (4-5), East Carolina (4-5) and Southern Miss (4-5) are deadlocked in sixth place. UAB (3-6) is one game back, followed by Marshall (2-7) and Tulsa (1-8). The top-four finishers will receive a first-round bye in the 2011 C-USA Championships, which will be held in El Paso from March 9-12.
UTEP's next four opponents are all within the top five of the league, and sport a combined C-USA mark of 26-11. Three of the next four contests will be on the road, with those foes boasting a combined home record of 21-7.
Thursday's game will mark the seventh all time between the programs, and the Miners will be looking to improve upon their 5-1 advantage in the series. UTEP has won four straight against the Knights, but this will be just the second meeting in Orlando in the past five years. UTEP and UCF have met each year since joining C-USA in 2005, although they did face each other one time beforehand. The Miners downed the Knights, 80-56, on the road during the 1997-98 season.
UTEP will return home to play host to Tulane at 1:05 p.m. MST on Sunday. It will be the "Pink Zone" game, with all fans who wear anything pink receiving free admission. The Miners will be looking to avenge a 69-63 defeat against the Green Wave on Jan. 30.

Star Cooking: Lunch Truck Empanadas, Y'all
by in Recipes, July 15, 2010Two Chix in a Truck (Serena and Brianna) hit it big this week. The ladies put their catfights aside to strive for redemption, and they delivered. All of their food truck lunch dishes won praise from the judges, but when it came time to cook a winner, picking one standout was a no-brainer: Brianna's Empanada with Serena's Chimichurri sauce. I listened to Paula and was instantly sold: "The empanada, y'all, is really good."
I ran into a roadblock when my grocery store didn't have empanada wrappers. With no time to hightail it to a Latin market or to make my own dough, I scoured the frozen food aisle for a good plan B. I decided to improvise with wonton wrappers. My two-bite empanadas would just have to be an appetizer version of Brianna and Serena's lunch pocket.
Back in the kitchen, my first step was blitzing all of the chimichurri sauce ingredients in my mini food processor. Brianna and Serena are obviously both big fans of garlic—the sauce and the filling each called for six cloves. Fortunately, I'm a garlic lover too and found the herby, lemony, garlicky sauce wonderful. I saved the leftovers in a jar in the fridge, ready to spice up next week's boring chicken or fish.
The empanada filling came together easily and quickly—a flavorful mixture of ground beef, onions, garlic, spices, chopped green chiles and egg. After letting it cool a few minutes, I got to work filling my little half-moon empanadas (er, wontons).
Deep-frying is not something I often do at home—I don't even have a deep-fat thermometer to determine whether the oil has reached 350 degrees. However, I once learned a trick: If you stick a wooden chopstick into the hot oil and little bubbles start to form, the oil is ready for frying. If no bubbles form, it needs to heat up more, and if it starts bubbling vigorously, it's too hot.
The chopstick method worked, and my empanadas fried up beautifully! Since they were miniature, they needed less than a minute on each side to get golden brown. I plated them up with a ramekin of chimichurri for dipping and dug in.
Paula, I have to concur—these were good, y'all.
Whose dish will we be cooking up at home next week? Watch the next episode of The Next Food Network Star Sunday at 9pm/8c to see who's cooking up winners…and who's going home.

What do air conditioning, Scotch tape and some of Metra's most critical rail-switching equipment have in common?
They were all invented in the 1930s.
While the technologies behind air conditioning and adhesive tape have come a long way in the last 80 years, the same can't be said for Chicago's aging railroad infrastructure.
Metra is stuck in the past while commuters are stuck waiting for the next train to show up (eventually).
Take action to help bring Metra into the 21st century.
To put it lightly, Metra has had a rough start to 2014. Weather related issues, maintenance backlogs, cancellations and delays -- it seems like each workday has brought us a new adventure.
And all of these issues don't even mention the years-long saga of scandal, reform and relapse we've suffered through with Metra leadership.
While some troubles -- at least some weather related ones -- can't be avoided, we believe Metra riders deserve better. Help us tell Metra to get a move on in 2014!
Use our online form to send a message asking newly appointed Metra CEO, Don Orseno, to prioritize things that matter most to riders in 2014: trains that arrive on-time, clear communication about travel, 21st century technological advances and more frequent service.
Image, courtesy of Flickr user railsr4me used under Creative Commons license, depicts Metra's long outdated rail switching equipment.

You're going to need to widen your net if you want some of these items.
1. Expanded service means lobbying state and federal legislators to provide the money to do it.
2. The tech advances will depend upon the host railroads (where applicable - Metra only owns some of their tracks outright), again, state and federal legislators need to be contacted (and Metra IS implementing PTC, but like other railroads, there is a backlog of equipment and an installation knowledge deficit slowing things down).

Relationship of quality of life to dispositional optimism, health locus of control and self-efficacy in older subjects living in different environments

To describe the relationship of dispositional optimism, health locus of control and self-efficacy to quality of life (QOL) in older subjects differing in level of disability and institutionalisation.
The study was conducted in the three groups of subjects aged ≥ 65: 110 relatively healthy community-dwelling elderly, 102 independent elders who voluntarily decided to live in veteran home and 112 inhabitants of a long-term care home. Life orientation test—revised (LOT-R), multidimensional health locus of control (MHLC) and generalised self-efficacy scale (GSES) together with a multidimensional assessment were performed with each subject. QOL was assessed using the Euroqol 5D questionnaire, the Nottingham health profile and the satisfaction with life scale (SWLS).
QOL generally decreased with growing level of dependence and institutionalisation. LOT-R, MHLC and GSES were important and independent correlates of QOL in all three environments of older subjects. The relationship of education, smoking habit, physical activity, strength and mobility measures to psychological characteristics was different in the three groups of elders. LOT-R, MHLC Powerful Others, MHLC Chance and GSES were the most important QOL correlates in veteran home group, while MHLC Internal was most significant in long-term care home inhabitants.

Man Shot Outside Candidate's Barber Shop

Posted to: Legal Writes
Charles Ashe III had just finished running for state office when a shooting took place a block from the polls—right in front of his barber shop.
The shooting occurred Thursday around 8:45 p.m.
Forty-five minutes earlier, the polls had closed at Lincoln-Bassett School, one of six voting locations in a special election for an open seat in the state General Assembly. Ashe was one of five candidates in that race. He won the vote at Lincoln-Bassett, though he ended up finishing third overall. (Read about that race here.)
Ashe was inside his barber shop on Shelton Avenue near Bassett Street along with supporters when shots rang out just outside the front door.
Police arrived to find a 19-year-old man shot in the leg and shell casings on the ground, according to police spokesman Officer David Hartman. The man went by ambulance to Yale-New Haven Hospital, where he was treated for a non-life-threatening wound.
Ashe was back cutting hair in his shop Friday. He said he had no comment on the incident. Meanwhile, a police investigator was in the shop reviewing surveillance video.
Lt. Al Vazquez, the police department's head of major crimes, said investigators so far have no reason to believe the shooting had any connection to the election.
Witnesses told cops they saw a white car with three men inside leaving the scene of the shooting.
Newhallville Alderwoman Delphine Clyburn said it was too dark for witnesses to see the license-plate number of the car. She said that may have been because it's so dark in general at night on that commercial block. Clyburn said she has been pushing the city to put in brighter streetlights and to make sure to get in front of trimming tree branches that block streetlights.
Baby's Cries Led To Felon's Arrest: In other police news, officers responding to a report of a crying baby ended up tussling with a fleeing felon.
Here's what happened, according to Officer Hartman (with his precise words in quotation marks):
Someone called around 8 a.m. Thursday to report "they'd heard a child crying for some time" in an apartment at the Farnam Court public-housing complex on Franklin Street. Officers Elvin Rivera and Jeffrey Fletcher went to investigate.
At the front door, they knocked, no answer. They heard nothing.
Try the back door, a neighbor suggested. That door was "wide open." And a baby was still crying.
The officers "called out to anyone inside. They got no answer. The officers went toward the sound of the crying baby. They found a three year old boy, sitting on a mattress on the floor.
"In an adjacent bedroom, the officers found a man sleeping in a bed. Nothing the officers tried including pounding on the bedroom wall would wake the man.
"It was then that Officer Rivera spotted a jacket on the floor by the bed. There was a pistol protruding from the jacket pocket. The man in bed suddenly got up and reached for the jacket. The officers struggled with him and handcuffed him."
They took him outside to a patrol car. Along the way, the suspect, a 30-year-old convicted felon from the Hill neighborhood, "head-butted Officer Fletcher and ran off. He was quickly apprehended down the street by Officer Steven Silk.
"The officers found the child's mother, who'd returned to the apartment. She said she'd left the baby in [the suspect]'s care while she took another child to school. She denied knowing anything about the gun or the drug paraphernalia found in her apartment."
Police charged the man, who's not related to the woman or the baby, "with criminal possession of a pistol, altering or removing the markings on a
firearm, risk of injury to a child, interfering with police and assaulting a police officer. He was also served with five outstanding warrants. The child's 24 year old mother was also arrested and charged with risk of injury to a child."
