In a roundtable discussion with FCC Commissioner Michael Copps, Roberta Stevens, president of the American Library Association and other high-level leaders from government, education and the non-profit sector, participants discussed specific action steps to bring digital and media literacy to all 300 million Americans.
Whether it's touch screen computers, smart phones, or user-generated news sites, access to information does not automatically translate into knowing how to use these tools in effective ways that help people in their everyday lives.
All Americans can benefit from learning how to access, analyze, and create digital and media content with thoughtfulness and social responsibility. This was one of the key recommendations of the Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy in its landmark report, Informing Communities, issued last year. This blue ribbon commission of 17 luminaries recommended that digital and media literacy be viewed as a critical element in all levels of education, and with institutions such as libraries in local communities.
Ensuring that citizens are equipped with the analytical and communications skills they need to be successful in the 21st century will require a comprehensive plan that positions digital and media literacy as an essential life skill and integrates it into advocacy campaigns, education curricula, and community-based initiatives across the nation. To address this need, Renee Hobbs (founder of the Media Education Lab, Temple University) has outlined a plan with specific steps that policymakers, educators, and community advocates can take to help Americans thrive in the digital age.
To mark the release of the paper and discuss its implications, the Aspen Institute Communications and Society Program and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation hosted a high-level roundtable discussion featuring representatives from government, education, and other areas Wednesday, November 10, 2010 at the Aspen Institute's Washington office. The white paper was officially released at the Family Online Safety Institute's annual conference on Internet Freedom, Safety & Citizenship. This is the second in a series of White Papers focused on the Knight Commission's 15 recommendations for creating healthy informed communities.

Who: Featured Speaker, Renee Hobbs, Professor of Communication and founder of the Media Education Lab, Temple University
Roundtable participants included:
What: A roundtable discussion on digital and media literacy with key policymakers and other education, technology, and media leaders.
Where: One Dupont Circle, NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20036
When: 11:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET
Agenda: The roundtable will begin with a presentation by Professor Hobbs of her policy paper, followed by discussion among the invited roundtable participants about the recommendations and how they may best be implemented. It will begin with a buffet lunch served at 11:45 a.m.

Give examples of literary techniques used in chapters 26 through 33 in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Literary techniques include color imagery, alliteraton, simile, figurative language, dialect, etc.
1 Answer | Add Yours
In Chapter 32, Huck feels that he is close to being caught in a lie with Mrs. Phelps. He vividly characterizes his situation with a metaphor.
"Well, I see I was up a stump - and up it good."
The metaphor is also an allusion to a common term, the colloquialism "up a tree". His turn of phrase is a play on that common term suggesting that his tree is not tall enough to offer any protection. He is sure to be caught.
Hyperbole is also used in this section of the novel. When Huck discovers that the Phelps family believes him to be Tom Sawyer, Huck says, "By jings, I most slumped through the floor!" This is also an example of figurative language used to express a rather extreme emotional moment.
Examples of dialect appear throughout this section of the novel as well with examples of phonetic usages like "dasn't" and "deffisit" emphasizing the particular pronunciations of certain words and phrases.

Sam Solomon is an Entrepreneur, Web designer & Wine Enthusiast.
Welcome to my humble little space on the internet. Here you will find my musings, rants and assertions.
When people ask what I do I tell them that, "I build things on the internet." That is the socially acceptable answer, and one that requires the least bit of explanation. There is more, of course, but you already knew that. Didn't you?
Likely, you meandered here from one of my interviews. If not, you should know that I started a publication called Signal Tower, where I have conversations with entrepreneurs, designers, writers and people creating brilliant things. It is an enjoyable project, and a tool that has allowed me to interact with people far more interesting than I.
My free time is spent designing, writing, developing and working on side projects. I have a voracious appetite for knowledge, and spend a huge amount of time reading—especially about design, education and entrepreneurship. I rarely watch TV. There aren't enough hours in the day as it is, so I've decided not to spend time watching The Kardashians.
While I'm lesser known for it, I'm a senior interactive producer for an ad agency down on the gulf coast called Red Square. There I lead digital projects for gaming and casino clients. We tinker with websites, applications, games—you name it.
I first became acquainted with the idea of being an entrepreneur, while in college. I started FRUGGL, a small coupon business that taught me several valuable lessons. After college I worked for CrowdFunder, which led the charge to change the way startups are financed. Then I worked for drchrono, a Y-Combinator healthcare startup aiming to make the iPad the main piece of hardware in every doctor's office.
In 2012 I left for Chicago to join The Starter League, a web development school taught at 37signals (now Basecamp). During my time there I designed, and built the front-end for Mountain Metrics an analytics platform for Tumblr.
You can find me @SamuelRSolomon on Twitter. Feel free to reach out. Maybe we can grab a beer or cup of coffee sometime. If you like my writing and are just interested in receiving notifications when I post something new, go ahead and subscribe via email.

The Hardest Question
"The hardest question I had was 'Why?' " says Stallings. "And my response was that despite what happened, we are in relationship with a loving God. I believe that what happened is a sign of our own brokenness, of the collective way we have failed with the mental health system."
A Lutheran pastor from Columbine, Colo., contacted Stallings' office offering support and advice, including the warning that "This event will hi-jack every conversation and every experience," says Stallings. "The danger is that we become defined by what happened that day."
But Virginia Tech, whose motto is "Invent the Future," seems determined to avoid that.
"We do not want to let this dominate all we do, yet providing support is critical. The incoming class has no experience of what happened, so we do have to collect ourselves. We do not want Virginia Tech to be defined by 4/16, but by the way we respond."
"I've discovered that students have a tremendous power to heal and minister to one another," says Tyndall. "That's one of the great lessons for me as one of the adults in this. They weren't lined up down my hall waiting for counsel as much as they were taking advantage of the environment as a safe space to come and hug and cry and be accepted, and talk."
Among a number of other resources, including an extensive library of support materials on trauma and loss, Stallings and her colleagues will have periodic visits from the Lutheran Disaster Response Team for two full years.
For Tyndall and Stallings the trauma of 4/16 resurfaces quickly, leaving them overwhelmed by grief and making attention to their own needs more important than ever. "I have had experiences of finding myself crying unexpectedly and then realizing that it's connected to that day," says Stallings.
During Holy Week, just before the shootings, Stallings had begun training for her first triathlon, a challenge inspired by her 50th birthday. "I told the friends I was training with last spring that I really needed their support to keep at it," she said. "And I'm glad that I did."
Rising at 6 a.m. to train every morning, she felt positive about beginning her day by doing something for herself. After the July 22 triathlon, she and her husband and daughter spent their family vacation at Ocracoke, N.C., where she had served a summer field placement as a divinity student.
Tyndall took a week-long summer sabbatical at the Divinity School, supported by a United Methodist congregation from the Western N.C. conference. He spent hours in the Divinity School Library researching the issues of mental health and gun control.
He was shocked that a student with a history of mental illness was able to purchase not one, but two, semi-automatic handguns, and sufficient ammunition for such devastation.
"I'm sure the opponents of gun control will come right back and argue that Cho would have found a way to get the guns illegally," says Tyndall. "But I still think that's a cop out. As people of faith and as good citizens we ought to do what we can to make it difficult for people with problems to get a handgun."
He has no patience with the argument that an armed faculty member or student might have been able to prevent the tragedy, adds Tyndall. "In my opinion, [arming faculty and students] would just create the possibility for more havoc."

Discworld update
Note: If you're looking to buy a finished Discworld or a Discworld pattern from me, please read the update (at the end of this page).
Thank you so much for the Discworld love; I'm so happy you get what I was trying to do here. I also have some news: I contacted Terry Pratchett's agent, to ask if there was any possibility that Terry could see my Discworld, and Colin kindly agreed to show the pics to Terry. And I have a reply from Colin about Terry Pratchett's reaction:
He gave a quiet laugh and said, 'Well, if you're going to crochet Discworld then that's the way to do it!'
Thank you, Terry! (And Colin.) This has made my day!
I thought I would share my happiness by revealing some more details of my Discworld project. I've had several requests from people wondering how I managed to accurately crochet in the landmasses of the Disc. I'm not intending this as a tutorial or method for you to follow – I just thought you might like to see the crazy method my mind came up with to crochetify the Discworld
First, I started by crocheting a plain blue circle for the underside of the Disc. I scanned this into the computer. Then I used the Discworld Mapp to sketch (with pencil and paper) a map of the landmasses and a rough guide for my colour changes. I scanned this into the computer too:
I edited my sketch to remove the white background and darken the lines to black to make them easier to see. I resized the two images so they were the same size, and then layered the map over the crocheted Disc:
Now for the slow part… but I figured it was better to make the mistakes digitally than to have to rip back when it came to the crocheting part. In my graphics software, I picked a paintbrush that was about the same size as one crocheted stitch, then began to colour in my map onscreen. I kept the coloured layer translucent, so I could still see the stitches beneath. Here's a close-up, and the complete digitally-coloured map:
Lastly I turned off the black sketch layer, and printed my 'pattern':
With all that work done, I just had to reproduce my digital crochet in reality! No secret method here – just careful counting and colour changes.
When I had finished, I crocheted both discs together around the edges, to keep it together and give a subtle Rimfall effect. I also stitched the two discs together at various points across the surface (with blue yarn in the blue areas only, so it doesn't show), to avoid any problems with it trying to puff up in the middle – it's called the Disc, not the Lens
Oh, and you may also be able to see from this pic that I used a variegated green yarn, so I chose the lighter green parts of the yarn to be closer to the Hub, fading to darker green towards the Rim. I just thought it added a little more depth:
That's it! As I said before, it really was a labour of love, and it took much longer to design than to actually crochet! And now I can say it's officially Pratchett-approved
You can, of course, buy the patterns for my Turtle and Elephants, if you are so inclined.
I hope you enjoyed this insight into the unusual way my mind works. Please leave me a comment if you did…
UPDATE April 2012: I'm very happy so many Pratchett fans like my Discworld – thank you for all your comments and emails! Please understand though that I made it for myself as a one-off fan art piece and it represents about a week's worth of full-time work. If I were to make another one, the price tag would have to be astronomical to cover my time, and, even if you were willing to pay that price, I couldn't sell a Discworld to you, as that would be unlicensed merchandising and I respect Sir Terry far too much to do that! So please don't ask me to make one for you – I just can't do it.
If you crochet, or know someone who does, you may buy my Sea Turtle and Elephant patterns. (You'll need the bulky option for the turtle and the worsted option for the elephants – or hold 2 strands of worsted together to make the turtle, as bulky yarn is approx twice as thick as worsted.)
However, I can't share a pattern for my Disc without permission. I did approach Terry Pratchett (via his agent) to ask for permission a couple of years ago, but I didn't get an answer, so I'm afraid that's the end of that idea too, unless I hear differently from the man himself. For your own version of the Disc, you could crochet a plain blue circle easily enough, and then add the land masses with embroidery, felt shapes, or fabric paint. I also recommend you insert a circle of plastic or cardboard between the two circles so the disc won't sag.

Tuesday, I was walking along the river, along the south bank and it was raining. And every now then, as well as the smell of wet dust on pavement you'd get that saline whiff of sea. I wished so much I was really by the sea that I looked up the price of train tickets. Perhaps at autumn I will go. And I'll probably go with friends to Brighton for a daytrip.
I sat up on the balcony of the members' room at the Tate, in the intermission in the rainfall and the otherside of the river stretched moodily and greyly out and a pigeon did a scaley footed tap dance on an a wet tabletop. Then I had to leave for work. Which wasn't so bad. I bought asparagus outside Southwark station.
It feels like I'm in another country. Perhaps because it's sunny, perhaps because I don't have much to do. But sitting in the shade south London station platforms all look like foreign towns.
I went to see Michael Clark's come, been and gone at the Barbican tonight with a friend.
What else? some friends and I have set up a sewing circle.
I basically like my life at the moment. I like my clothes and I like my interests. I like my flat and I like my friends.
I want to press this moment in my life between the pages of a book. But every day slips away so quickly. I'm so worried about the future- what I'm going to do, you know, for a living.
At the moment I live almost perfectly in and out of libraries and musuems, seeing friends or spending Sunday's at my parents' home.
I'd like to be thinner and I'd like a trendier job. I'd like to have longer left at university. I'd like to have last year back and to not be chased by depression like a bad debt.
I can't remember how it was I wanted to die. It wasn't long ago- weeks, months(?)- that every time a train arrived I wanted to jump in front of it. I suppose there's continuity of the cells of your bones and hair and teeth and skin and all that (I think that it's over the course of seven years your cells replace themselves completely- which is the same time a broken mirror brings you bad luck). But whoever it was that wanted to die or unlive or whatever, even though I wrote it, I think she's different to the girl writing now. Memory, continuity, experience- we're all in the mind.
If someone else logged into this account - a stranger - and wrote a diary here then it wouldn't be so different to what I'm doing writing now in the diary I started when I was 17. I only remember her, or think I do.
That was pretty deep. I know how you feel, I often go back and re-read my old journals and think "God I've matured so much since then"
I mean, we change so much that every day, you get to be a new person. Every day you change your view on something, or learn some new personality tweak that you enjoy and then it's like life's a big play and every day we have to be an actor and be that person.
Except some days our actors are bad at getting into character...
You're twisted and perverted. I like that in a person.

Nutritionally, seeds primarily consist of carbohydrates and fat, a little fiber and protein, and a very small amount of minerals, usually phosphorous. Most seeds are not nutrient-dense, except for calories.
"Seeds are a high-calorie food — great for energy generation," said Gregory Burkett, DVM, an avian veterinarian in Durham, North Carolina. Both fat and carbohydrates are important energy sources, he said. With their high metabolic rates, birds need high-energy foods.
Some seeds, however, are higher in fats and carbohydrates than others. At the low end, white proso millet is a relatively low-fat seed with just 3.5 percent fat. Peanuts, Brazil nuts, palm nuts, and canola (rape), flax, safflower and sunflower seeds range from 35 to 50 percent fat and are some of the seeds with the highest fat content. Eating too many high-fat seeds can cause a lot of health problems in the typically sedentary pet bird, Burkett said, including obesity and lipomas (fatty tumors).
Lipidosis (Fatty Liver Disease) Most seeds lack one or more essential amino acids, so they don't offer "complete" protein. Seeds also lack many essential vitamins and minerals. In particular, seeds are deficient in amino acids, lysine and methionine; vitamins A, D and B12; riboflavin; and calcium. These nutrients are necessary for healthy bone development, formation of muscle and body tissues, and the proper function of body systems.
This is not to say that you should never give seeds to your bird. "Seeds are not bad; they just shouldn't be the only food you give to your bird," stated Ted Lafeber, president of Lafeber Company based in Cornell, Illinois. He said seeds in and of themselves aren't bad any more than a banana is bad. "If you only eat bananas, you will have nutritional deficiencies," he said, "and the same is true with seeds. Most seeds by themselves won't give a bird everything it needs nutritionally. Sooner or later, you're going to have problems if you just feed your bird seeds."

Set in the Hays area, a play selected for February's New Play Summit by Denver Center Theatre Company was written by local playwright Catherine Trieschmann.
The play, "The Most Deserving," satirizes the friction that can ensue when the arts collide with politics, self-interest, taste, relationships, egos and gossip.
"It's really a comedy about how we choose what is good art," Trieschmann said. "How we make those determinations.
"And sort of the ridiculous politics behind the scenes when it comes to patronage."
An up-and-coming playwright, Trieshmann, a Georgia native, has lived in Hays six years. Married to Carl Miller, Fort Hays State University assistant professor of philosophy, the couple has two young daughters.
Treischmann credits the Inge Theatre Festival in Independence with helping her make the connection that led to her play being selected for the new play summit. She received the Otis Guerney New Voices Playwriting Award from the Inge Theatre Festival in May.
"I feel so supported by the Inge Center in Kansas," she said. "Peter Ellenstein (Inge Festival artistic director) has been a great champion and nominated my work for a lot of awards.
"I've just really appreciated that."
As part of the festival, which honors William Inge, a famous Kansas playwright from Independence, there was a reading of "The Most Deserving." Trieschmann was asked by Ellenstein who she would like to direct the reading of her new play. Her reply, she said, came without hesitation.
"I immediately said Kent Thompson, because he runs the Denver Theatre Center and is someone that I really wanted to get to know because the Denver Theatre Center puts considerable resources and production time to new playwrights," Trieschmann said. "Kent agreed to come out and direct the workshop of 'The Most Deserving,' which was fantastic.
"We had a great time working together."
Thompson brought the play to his staff in Denver, and it later was selected for the new play summit. In addition, Trieschmann has been commissioned by the DCTC to write a new play.
"The Most Deserving," written by Trieschmann in 2012, is one of five works slated for stage reading at the eighth annual new play summit. During the summit, the play will be revised during workshops in an effort to "improve the script," Trieschmann said.
"It's a glimpse of the play's potential, so that hopefully either Denver Theatre Center or another theater that comes to the summit will pick up the play for production," she said. "The play is just slated for the reading as a way of introducing it to the theater world."
The festival is Feb. 8 to 10. Public readings passes can be purchased for $40 and allow admission to all five readings of new plays. Individual readings are $10. Information regarding full summit passes, which include guaranteed seating to readings, main stage premieres, meals and receptions, is available at www.denvercenter.org/summit.
"The Most Deserving," set in Hays but not necessarily inspired by events in town, follows events that transpire when a local arts council is given a $20,000 grant to disperse to a deserving artist.
"It's a comedy, and everything is over the top, and everyone's agenda is a little bit self-interested," Trieschmann said. "But I do think it delves into some issues of when resources are scarce, how do you divvy them up fairly and who gets to make those determinations."
Treischmann, who has seen her work come to life on U.S. stages and overseas in London and Sydney, also wrote the screen play for the film "Angels Crest," which premiered at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival before being released by Magnolia Pictures. In addition to writing a new play for the DCTC, she also has been commissioned to write an adaptation of the Wizard of Oz. Her play "How the World Began," which was performed in Boulder last summer, opens in Milwaukee this month.
The ability to continue her budding career as a playwright in a somewhat isolated area of Kansas has been a bit of a surprise to Trieschmann.
"I don't feel like I've fallen off the face of the earth, which I think was a little of the fear," she said. "If anything, I think it makes me stand out.
"Every playwright lives in Brooklyn, so I'm able to say I live in Hays, Kansas, and I think it's memorable."

Again and again, McCurry snags such moments: a trio of camels crossing barren earth against a backdrop of flames and black smoke engulfing the oilfields of Kuwait, torched by Iraqis on their way out of the country; a tranquil landscape on the Tibetan plateau with verdant mountains towering above a town and a boy walking through barley fields; huge trees with roots that snake through the temple ruins in Cambodia's Angkor region.
It's easy to think that one of the most photographed man-made structures on the planet -- the Taj Mahal in Agra, India -- would by now be all but drained of its visceral power. But McCurry reinvigorates it in a 1983 shot by approaching it as a sort of mirage, putting it off center, out of focus, and in the background. Juxtaposed against the 17th-century structure, in the right front, is a locomotive belching steam and smoke with two men perched on its cowcatcher. In another shot, from 1999, the photographer reduces the Taj Mahal to a shimmering reflection in the Yamuna River, where a wader bends to scoop water in his hand.
Not all of McCurry's photos are so fraught with meaning, although he rarely strays far from imagery charged with cultural and historical context. Two 1984 shots of ritual bathers in the waters of the Bagmati River in Kathmandu, Nepal -- one featuring nearly a dozen women in colorful robes, the other focusing on a single woman, seen from behind -- are the closest he comes to celebrating pure sensuality, although the accompanying text informs us that the women are fasting and bathing in preparation to pledge themselves "to the goddess Parvati, consort of the god Shiva and mother to the elephant-headed god Ganesh." Even the initial whimsy of a 1992 shot of five burka-covered women shopping in a street market festooned with sneakers is offset by our knowledge of the oppression those flowing garments represent.
On one of the panels of text posted at points throughout the exhibition, McCurry provides a sort of aesthetic statement: "I think good documentary photography, on its highest level, gets into a realm where you've tapped into some archetype of human connection. You've struck a chord in people that has tremendous meaning beyond the event itself." And on another panel: "I want to see everything -- the whole planet, the good and the bad -- and document it so that hopefully there can be some understanding. That's what I am, what I do."
Creative people often come across as tedious and self-important when they start sounding off like this. In McCurry's case, it's easy to indulge him as long as he keeps making images as ravishing and richly evocative as the ones we see in "Photographs of Asia."

I'm just getting into kegging and one of the guys in my local homebrew club pointed me to this website for buying CO2 tanks, regulators, parts, etc. The prices are much better than my local welding supply shop and since they have multiple distribution points across the country, deliveries are pretty quick. I ordered yesterday and should receive my tank by Friday.http://www.micromatic.com
Thought I would add my experience to this sticky. Do not order your keg supplies from The Beverage Factory (www.beveragefactory.com). They completely jacked my order. I recieved an email conformation when my order was placed saying everything was ready to ship. A week later after no delivery, I call and find out that one item was backordered and they never told me about it. I told them to drop the backordered item and to upgrade my shipping at their expense. They refused. And then I find out that the ball lock couplers for the liquid side which were advertised as having 3/16 barbs actually have 1/4 flare fittings. They told me "Its ok, it will still fit a 3/16 hose. Just run the tube under hot water to sofen it up". Thats just crappy business. Stay away from the Beverage Factory!
Not brewing nor drinking beer for that matter. Why you may ask? Cause I'm in Afghanistan!
A direct link to the stainless steel drip tray is herehttp://www.barproducts.com/media/drippan.htm
No matter how rich you are, you can still only drink 16 or 17 liters of beer a day.
Just recently got into kegging, but my buddy has a huge converted chest freezer and i helped him set it up, it holds about 8 corneys or commercial 5gal kegs. He got everything he needed fromRapids Wholesale.com. They have great prices if you buy bulk. Great customer service too!! Also you can request a free catalog that has Just beer equipment.
Useful link for Keg Sizes:http://www.micromatic.com/beer-quest...le-aid-11.html
I thought this site was pretty good for properly balancing your draft systemhttp://www.beernut.com/Web_store/kegging.pdf
I did a disassembly/parts list for corny kegs for my local club, I can't attach a large enough PDF so here's a JPG instead.
I'd like to add my experience ordering a keg setup from kegconnection.com. Everyone I spoke to was extremely patient and helpful with my questions and with their suggestions on what I should need. I ended up placing an order around noon on Friday, and it was ready for pickup within a few hours. I had asked a friend to pick up the kit for me (he was driving from Austin to Houston that day, and San Marcos isn't too far away), but traffic was bad and they stayed open past 6pm on a Friday evening for him! Their pricing seems quite good, but their outstanding customer service is why I recommend them.

Shreveport, LA (KMSS) — Just after 5am, a Shreveport Police Patrol officer tried to make a routine traffic stop. The driver, however, didn't feel like pulling over. The officer was eventually able to get the driver to pull over, but as soon as the car was stopped, the driver ran off.
Thinking something was up, Shreveport Police searched the car, only to find almost 50 pounds of marijuana. According to narcotics agents, that amount of marijuana has a street value of more that $40,000.
The car was impounded and the drugs were seized and brought to police headquarters, where they were tested and found to be marijuana.
Shreveport Police turned the case over the the Shreveport-Caddo Narcotics team, who are still searching for the suspect.

Neck problems?
Hey all,
I've been bringing my LTD Deluxe EC-1000T around alot on my travels and when I played it during band practice, the necks feels weird and harder to play on especially higher past the 12th fret. I googled, did the usual checkups and found out the neck has close to no relief at all (finger on 1st/15th fret thingy). It to look like the relief gets higher as you get close to the end of the neck. I've got .013, .017, .026, .036, .046, .062 slapped on them set on Dropped B.
I'm not too sure whether it's having an 'up-bow' or if it's too straight? How do I check for sure?
I know that if it's having an 'up-bow', a simple truss rod adjustment would work and if it's too straight, I'll just adjust the bridge to a lower action.
Thanks for reading! -
It's not uncommon for a set-neck guitar to have a bump where the neck meets the body. It sounds like a bit of relief in your neck might not hurt, but if that isn't getting you what you want, you may have to have a luthier level and re-crown your frets. That should get you a stable playing surface again.

Nssga Endorses Campaign To Upgrade U.S. Infrastructure
- Details
- Published: Tuesday, 01 July 2008 08:00
- Written by Rock Products News
The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association has announced its support for the Americans for Transportation Mobility coalition's FasterBetterSafer campaign
The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association has announced its support for the Americans for Transportation Mobility coalition's FasterBetterSafer campaign and is asking its members to join by directing them to the Web site, http://www.fasterbettersafer.org. ìThe foundation of our economy depends on an integrated transportation network to move goods and people safely and cost-effectively,î says NSSGA President Joy Wilson. ìThis campaign ties investment in that infrastructure to America's economic strength and our very quality of life.î
The FasterBetterSafer campaign is a nationwide effort by business, labor, transportation organizations and concerned citizens that supports increased federal investment in transportation. Its goal is to demonstrate to policy-makers in Washington the groundswell of public support for repairing, rebuilding and revitalizing America's aging transportation system.
The nation's transportation system continues to deteriorate, jeopardizing safety, the economy and the environment, NSSGA reports. Recent studies show that increased investment in transportation not only stimulates the economy and creates jobs, but also reduces the human costs imposed by congestion, pollution and needless highway fatalities. In 2005, traffic congestion alone drained $78 billion from the economy, added 4.2 billon hours to commutes, and wasted 2.9 billion gallons of gasoline.

Answered by
the Fatwa Department Research Committee - chaired by Sheikh `Abd al-Wahhâb al-Turayrî
Shurayh b. al-Hârith b. Qays b. al-Jahm al-Kindî accepted Islam in Yemen during the lifetime of the Prophet (peace be upon him) though he never met the Prophet (peace be upon him). During the reign of Abû Bakr al-Siddîq, he relocated to Kufah in Iraq.
`Umar appointed him to be the judge of Kufah. He was very young at the time. Abû Nu`aym relates from Umm Dâwûd al-Wâbishiyyah that "people took their disputes before Shurayh at a time when he still had no beard." `According to al-Sha`bî, `Umar set for him a salary of 100 dirhams.
It is said that he spent sixty years in that office. He also served as judge in Basra for a year.
The Caliph Mu`âwiyah then transferred him to Damascus. On account of this, Shurayh became known as "the Judge of the Two Great Cities". He retired from office only a year before his death, and he is supposed to have lived to the age of 108 or 110. The date of his death was either in the year 78 AH or 80 AH.
Shurayh was known for his extensive knowledge of Islamic Law and respected for his good judgment. The Caliphs showed deference to him.
It is related that `Alî assembled the people in the public square, saying: "I am going to leave you, so assemble in the public square." The people came and began to petition him with their questions until they were finished and no one remained but Shurayh, who sat upon his knees and began to ask him. `Alî said: "Go, for indeed you are the most knowledgeable of Arabs in matters of judicial verdicts." [Hilyah al-Awliyâ' (4/134)]
Once a woman came to `Alî with a case against her husband in a matter of divorce. After she presented her case to him, `Alî turned to Shurayh and said: "Judge between them."
Shurayh said: "O Commander of the Faithful! (Should I presume to do so) while you are right here?"
`Alî repeated: "Judge between them."
Shurayh was also renowned for his impeccable sense of justice and for holding all people equal before the law.
Once, al-Ash`ath b. Qays entered upon the judge Shurayh to visit him while he was in his courtroom. Shurayh greeted him and bade him sit down next to him. At this time, a person came in with a case against al-Ash`ath. Shurayh then said: "Stand up and take the defendant's seat and address the other."
Al-Ash`ath said: "On the contrary, I will speak to him from here."
Shurayh then said: "Will you stand on your own, or must I bring someone in who will make you stand?"
At this point, al-Ash`ath stood up and took his place as ordered.

The homepage is organized in a newsletter format, with the current week's spotlighted articles in the center of the page as "Investor Education This Week." A link to "New Info for Investors" is on the right side. The bottom two-thirds of the homepage is a topical index with hyperlinks to specific resources under different topics: stocks, mutual funds, financial planning, teachers, bonds, young investors, older investors, scams, futures, investing basics, and getting help.
The homepage and the main pages are similar in appearance, providing a top banner and small menu bar. The left sides of the home and main pages contain an index for searching the site, signing up for e-mail updates or web syndication feeds, and a news center. It also allows users to report broken links, a good feature for most websites, especially because two of the AIE members had broken links during this review.
The topical index at the bottom of the homepage is fairly well organized, although some overlap exists in the linked resources. The "New Info for Investors" main page presents many resources already listed on the homepage. The materials are not organized in any way, but cover areas such as cash management, saving (in general), saving for college, estate planning, retirement, and taxes.
Because the website is essentially a portal to members' web resources, most users' navigation will be limited. Many hyperlinks connect to specific areas within members' websites. Even though the organization of materials could be improved, there are some excellent tools and resources, in a variety of formats.
Financial Planning
Under the "Financial Planning" heading are links to excellent PDF files, including "Manage Your Holiday Spending" and "Managing the Relationship Between You and Your Advisor." A link to the highly rated "Ballpark Estimate" retirement calculator, in interactive or PDF format, is also available. Following the AICPA's initiative to provide financial literacy education to women, advisors will find an informative pension checklist for women.
"New Info for Investors" offers links to websites with excellent beginner information on how to understand investment performance, asset allocation, and how different investments work. This section also offers additional resources, such as a brochure explaining the differences between brokers, investment advisors, and financial planners.
The "Mutual Funds" section on the homepage includes a brochure on "Understanding Mutual Funds" and a booklet on "Mutual Fund Fees." This section also provides a fund-expense calculator, as well as an interactive quiz. Risk seekers may be interested in a booklet on "Understanding Hedge Funds," under "Stocks," which also offers an interactive portfolio game. The "Bonds" section offers a yield calculator.

The Bearded Ladies will lead a city-wide and region-wide invasion of bold, innovative cabaret with two all new shows and a tour.
About this project
Who are we?
The Bearded Ladies is an experimental cabaret troupe devoted to exploiting all the possibilities of intimate, homemade theater through beautiful songs, tricked-out costume changes, drag, and virtuosic prop construction. With wit and sparkle we tackle the politics of popular culture, sex, gender, and artistic invention.
What is THE BEARDED LADIES' CABARET REVOLUTION?
Through a generous matching grant from the John S. and James L. Knight foundation, The Bearded Ladies are now able to begin their dream of bringing our form of innovative cabaret throughout the Philadelphia region. We are planning:
· Two New Shows at The Wilma Theater November 2012, and July 2013.
· A Remount of our Wide Awake: A Civil War Cabaret at the Kimmel Center in April 2013.
· A Tour of one of our new shows to at least three locations throughout the Philadelphia region.
· Each cabaret will include collaborations with other Philadelphia cabaret and theater artists.
· Each cabaret will involve at least three street performances around Philadelphia neighborhoods to bring our work to new communities.
What are we going to do with your support?
We must raise 30,000 dollars in the next year or we do not get the matching support from the Knight foundation. We are asking our friends, collaborators, and larger community through Kickstarter to help us raise at least 12,000 of that amount.
We plan to:
· Develop and rehearse our new pieces.
· Pay collaborating artists.
· Buy more cardboard,
· Hire a stage manager.
· Hire an administrator to help us manage the Herculean task of getting all this done.
· By the end of next season we hope to have grown enough to be able to support ourselves through private gigs, parties, foundations, and ticket sales, so we can continue to fill Philadelphia with new cabarets.
Right now we operate on a small small budget. We make everything by hand, we eat together, and we stay up late making cardboard into all shapes and sizes. We don't want to change much of this. We believe that theater can be made cheaply, that it is about the audience and the performer relationship, not about how much a set costs. We do however need the support of our community to raise enough to pay for the time, energy, space, and organizational support as we make this work for you.
Will the Revolution Be Televised?
No, we are cabaret artists. Everything we do is live…. except for that video...

Think you have a Ghost? Don't Panic.
While we don't think it's wise for someone without experience to perform his/her own investigation of a possibly haunted home, there are a few things that you can do to find out if the activity you're experiencing is nothing more than environmental issues within your home.
Feeling cold spots?
Check your windows and doors for drafts. You can do this by attaching a light piece of material to a short stick or ruler and holding it in front of your windows and doors. If the cloth moves, there's airflow.
Check for drafts where pipes or wires enter the home from the outside. The smallest hole can be the reason for the coldest spot in your home. Check for drafts in the area where pipes or wires come up from the basement, as well. Even if the basement is heated, remember, heat rises and this can make a basement the coolest area of the home. You will most likely feel a temperature change as you ascend the basement stairs and it could be this cold air that you're feeling.
Check the fireplace flue. Is it closed? If it is, how drafty is it?
Feelings of being watched or seeing shadows, images, etc. in the bedroom or perhaps the basement?
Believe it or not, in your bedroom your digital clock or clock radio could be the culprit! These devices emit high Electromagnetic Fields (EMF). Someone who is sensitive to high EMF can experience feelings of being watched, they can see shadows, or even images of what they believe to be spirits. Rashes have also been reported in people who are extremely sensitive to EMF. Try removing the digital clock from your night table and place it to an area as far from the bed as possible. Think about purchasing a good old wind up clock.
Older or poorly wired electric boxes in the basement can also emit high EMF. Take note as to where you are in the basement when you see or feel something strange. If you're near an electric box or even the transformer for your doorbell, it could well be high EMF that's causing you to feel uncomfortable. Very old appliances and the ballasts in fluorescent lighting can an also give off high EMF. Your computer monitor, your TV, even dimmer switches can be the cause of high-strength EMF.
While electrical codes require that metal plumbing lines be grounded, plumbing lines and even natural gas lines can serve as conduits for small amounts of electricity which produce EMF fields. It is even possible that a neighbor's house could be the source of the high EMF in your home. If there's a water pipe grounding issue in a home that is interconnected to yours by plumbing lines, you could be experiencing higher than normal EMF fields in your home.
Noxious odors from things like paint remover and other solvents can also cause the same effects as high EMF. These odors can travel through the vents reaching every area of the home.
Some EMF issues can be tough for you to diagnose yourself, so do what you can and if you have not come up with a possible explanation, let us know and we'll come out to your home to help you.
Doors opening and/or closing on their own?
Check your doors to make sure they are level. If you don't have a level, use a clear glass or pan with water in it. With any vibration, doors can open or close if they are not level. You can also check the doorway for square by measuring from the top left corner to the lower right corner, then measure the top right corner to the lower left corner (like measuring each "leg" of an X). These two measurements should be exactly the same. If not, the door frame is not square; therefore the door will not hang level in the frame. Even if the door isn't open, you will certainly get drafts with a door or window that isn't square.
Make sure that the door in question latches properly. Is all the hardware in place? We investigated a particular home many times, not having any trouble with doors opening or closing. One evening when we were at this home it was somewhat windy. Without any warning, the front door slowly opened. There didn't appear to be a gust of wind to blow the door, but after close inspection, we noted that half of the latch mechanism was missing, allowing the door to open with just a small movement of air.
Items moving on solid surfaces?
Easy….check the floor, the table, the chair, whatever the surface is to make sure it's level. Walk around the area to see if you cause enough vibration to make things move. Is there a draft that could be causing this?
Strange Sounds?
There are so many reasons for the sudden appearance of strange sounds. Consider a changing humidity level. Humidity causes wood to swell, the same way cold or dryness can cause it to shrink. Both of these conditions can cause creaking or snapping, sounds.
Air in your heating or plumbing pipes can cause a great deal of noise. You can also hear sounds through the heating ducks that originate in other areas in the home. If you have any loose pipes, you may hear banging sounds when the heat comes on. My ice maker makes a great deal of noise late at night when an ice cube drops into the container below. Simple sounds can seem magnified when there's nothing else going on in the house, when all else is quiet.
In short, there are a host of environmental conditions that could easily cause you to think that there is something paranormal in your home. Don't feel foolish, if it concerns you, it needs to be resolved. Investigate what you can, if you're comfortable with doing that, and if you still have a problem, let us know. No question or concern is too trivial; if something is frightening you or a member of your family, don't hesitate to contact us! We're here to help.
