Course Description
DOMINGUEZ-RUVALCABA This course is a survey on the main trends of Spanish American literature of the twentieth century. Our objective is to distinguish different currents, styles, and periods, as well as regional topics in this field. Students are expected to read literary works and some critical texts and participate actively in discussions in class and on-line. The content of this class includes: regionalism, narratives of the Mexican revolution, postmodernita poetry, the avant-garde, indigenismo, el boom, literatures of dictatorship and post-dictatorship, and the testimony. We are going to use visual materials and films in order to reinforce the comprehension of aesthetics and socio-historical context. Our approach will be to explain the process of constructing Spanish America modernity in its literature, with emphasis in the representation of gender, ethnicity and political struggles. Grading criteria: 50% Partial test 20% Final paper 10% Participation 20% Final test Bibliography: Chang-Rodriguez, Raquel, Malva E, Filer. Voces de Hispanoamérica A reader prepared by the instructor.
BEYERSDORFF This course is a continuation of SPN 325K (Spanish American Literature before Modernism), a survey of important historical and literary works from the Pre-Columbian, Colonial and the early Republican eras. In this course we will examine the development of narrative from the late Nineteenth century when Latin American authors and literary critics are beginning to shape and express emerging attitudes towards their nations society and culture through their writings. At the same time they demonstrate in their writing styles the movement away from European and Colonial era literary forms of expression. We begin with the sociological essays and novel, respectively, of Manuel Gonzales Prada and Clorinda Matto de Turner, who together produced the precursor works of the Indigenismo movement, which would later be defined through the polemical writings of José Carlos Mariátegui. We continue with issues of ethnicity, race, ecology and national identity which emerge into public discourse through the views held by José Martí, Ezequiel Martínez Estrada and José Vasconcelos. We then turn to documentary autobiography (Testimonio) produced by advocates of social change in their native regions, such as Domitila Chungara and Rigoberta Menchu as well as perceptions of gender in the poetry of Rosario Castellanos. Lastly, we read narrative renditions of daily life in rural and urban settings by Javier de Viana, José María Arguedas, Juan Rulfo, José Donoso and Gabriel García Marquéz. Grading System Homework: Composition of paragraphs on readings 50% Regular attendance and participation in class discussion on readings. 40% End-of-course oral presentation 10% The Course Packet includes the following readings: I Society Under the Magnifying Glass II Women Have Their Say III Vignettes of Life IV Readings on literary history from La cultura moderna en América Latina

Foreign Beggars and Noisia release 'IAm Legion'LP
Foreign Beggars have teamed up with Noisia on a truly innovative 16 track album to debut their new super group,I Am Legion. Combing elements of all different genres and styles,this is one of the best well done experimental albums of our time.
The collaborative efforts going on in the world of EDM are absolutely tremendous. Working with as many people as they can to create intriguing and sometimes groundbreaking material,It seems as though everybody is trying to work with as many of their talented friends as possible. One such group at the forefront of EDM experimentation is Foreign Beggars. Working with the likes of Skrillex,Flux Pavilion,Koan Sound and many more,they've been fusing the realms of dance music and hip-hop for quite some time now. In another step forward,the two MCs have teamed up with Noisia on a truly innovative 16 track album to debut their new super group,I Am Legion.
The self titled I Am Legion LP features tracks focusing on hip-hop,dubstep/trap and even a few instrumentals that I really can't deem any genre. There is a perfect balance between the two acts and amounts to a monumental new collaboration. With tracks like "Make Those Moves" featuring a heavy breakbeat and mad bars,one can see the strides that are being taken from the usual grime style with this insane Moombahcore tune. Other tracks like "Loose On The Leaves" and "Warp Speed Thuggin" are centered more on the lyrics,but the instrumentals still kill thanks to the phenomenal production and sound design of Noisia. This album is a must have,so make sure and buy it on iTunes or Beatport!

You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school.

Today is the 50th anniversary of the day that the bodies of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Mikey Schwerner were found buried in earthen dam, just southwest of Philadelphia, Mississippi. The three young men had been registering African-Americans to vote as part of Freedom Summer, a project that brought thousands of young people to the South to teach and register African American voters. By the end of the first week of their disappearance, national press picked up the story; by the next, the FBI had gotten involved. Navy Seabees combed local swamps while residents watched. Many of the Mississipians watching told reporters that the disappearance was a stunt, that the boys were in New York or Cuba, "just laughing at us." They stopped talking about laughter when the bodies were found.
If you're about to stop reading because you think I'm about to write a oh-my-racism-was-so-horrible post - nope, not a chance. Because racism is horrible, and it's a present-day problem. Our problem. My problem. Your problem. And it's being forgotten by a lot of us, except when something happens and it gets dug up again, like those bodies in the dam.
Many African Americans grew up on this history; others didn't hear specifics, only dire warnings not to go to this or that neighborhood after dark. Some of us Caucasians never knew about the realities of everyday racism, shielded by privilege, bubbled in mostly-white communities, taught a smattering of MLK and JFK and Brown vs. Board of Ed. What we're taught in school isn't enough. Recently, a young person asked me what the riots of 1968 were, and we live in Baltimore, one of the riot epicenters. He'd no idea that Baltimore pools and movie theatres were still segregated in the 1960s, nor did his father, who was in high school at the time, old enough to know. Except we didn't know, many of us white folks who think ourselves decent; we were shielded, we had no eyes to see.
Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner were ambushed on a county road, driven to a remote location, then executed by KKK members and other community residents. Their only crime was daring to register American citizens to vote. It's estimated that several people complicit in these executions were never charged. Some may be alive still today. Eventually, the federal government prosecuted 18 individuals for the murders of the civil rights workers; 7 were convicted. None of them served more than 7 years.
The picture's not all bleak; the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed while the FBI was still searching for the bodies, followed by the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Edgar Ray Killen, one of the killers of Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner, was finally prosecuted successfully (in 2005). The only part of this story I like is that he was prosecuted because of new evidence compiled by an investigative journalist, a teacher, and three students who compiled evidence into a documentary for the National History Day contest. (I love stories where education brings justice.) He'd been freed due to a deadlocked jury 40 years earlier; one juror later said she couldn't convict a preacher. More than 1,000 people protested to have the case re-opened.
I don't want to write yet another white-person-wrings-their-hands-about-racism post. But I do want to hold up a mirror of our history, from the early 1960s and beyond:
In 1961, the Freedom Riders rode to desegregate interstate buses in the South. (It had been illegal since 1946, but the federal government hadn't enforced the law.) They were met with beatings, firebombs and death threats. The first set of Freedom Riders never completed their ride; the second wave of Freedom Riders, mostly students, all signed their wills before leaving to ride the bus. It was that serious. Think about them, the next time you congratulate yourself for hastagging a slogan or signing an online petition. (A film on the Freedom Riders is available free watch it here.)
In September 1962, the governor himself blocked the registration of Air Force veteran James Meredith at University of Mississippi. Riots broke out; federal marshalls had to escort Mr. Meredith onto campus. He spent the rest of his college career shunned by most of the Ole Miss students on campus.
In June 1963, lawyer and activist Medgar Evers was assasinated in his driveway. His murder would not be successfully prosecuted for another 30 years.
And summer 1964 was Freedom Summer, an effort built on years of tireless activism by local African Americans. Thousands of students came to the South to register voters and teach in Freedom Schools. And three young men- Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner were killed on the second day. (A film on Freedom Summer is available free streaming, watch it here.)
The film Mississippi Burning shows FBI agents as heroes and crusaders, but actually, J. Edgar Hoover was no fan of civil rights for African Americans. President Lyndon Johnson had to threaten Hoover indirectly with political reprisal to motivate him to send agents to investigate the civil rights workers disappearances. These weren't the first civil rights workers to "disappear". The investigators found eight more bodies of missing men before they found the three young men. Activists tried to get federal attention about the disappearnces for months.
In 1966, after graduating from Ole Miss, James Meredith started a solo March Against Fear. He wanted to highlight the continuing problems of blacks who lived in the Mississippi Delta. He was shot on the second day. He survived, and later became a lawyer. He was invited back to Ole Miss for the commemoration of desegregation; they erected a statue in his honor. The statue of James Meredith was vandalized in 2014, dragged through campus with a noose around the neck.
The grave of James Chaney, Freedom Summer activist whose body was found on this day 50 years ago, has been vandalized many times during the past 50 years.
There's much death and blood and fear and determination in these stories; it's no different from any other chapter of U.S. history. And like a lot of U.S. history, it's in danger of being forgotten. A student reportedly once asked James Meredith if he'd "rushed" a fraternity while he was at Ole Miss. The idea of armed marshalls accompanying Meredith to class, then Meredith pulling a few frat pranks, is a gruesomely funny picture, but there's nothing funny about the student's ignorant question.
It's all our history, we have to remember it, and we have to face it. Otherwise, it's all bodies buried in an earthen dam. No declaration of "post-racial America" can cover this. We forget, then something happens, and here come the memes in our Facebook feeds. It's as if the collective white American consciousness is a third-time divorcee who wonders why his marriages have all failed, and doesn't see the common denominator is, well, him. We're like the girl who keeps wondering why all the guys she dates are jerks, and overlooks the fact that she chose them. So we say, Wow, racism still exists! How hateful these racists are, we say. Except racism lives in us, too, and if we forget that, racism has won. Again.
These things didn't happen only in the South; residents of Milwaukee, WI fought desegregation of the school system just as bitterly, along with many other Northern cities. Try googling the nearest big city to where you live and the word "desegregation." "Baltimore and desegregation", "Cleveland and desegregation"...you might be surprised at the results, and find some history that your community doesn't want to remember.
I didn't shoot those boys, I didn't protest desegregation- I was just learning to walk in the early 1960s. Maybe you weren't even born. But I don't get a pass on facing this history, and neither do you, because it's our history, too. The fact is, it was 50 years ago, but it's not 500 years ago. To hear some white folks talk, civil rights magically happened universally across the US, just because JFK put it in his inagural speech. The truth is a tad more complicated.
(And If you think JFK was a civil rights crusader, listen to the White House archive tapes of his meetings about the James Meredith situation, and his conversations with the Governor of Mississippi. It will be enlightening. And depressing.)
We've made progress, but there's still a lot to be done, and no path forward is forged by forgetting all that's gone before. This is our history; if we don't remember, we keep forgetting, and it keeps happening.
It's all bodies in an earthen dam, and it has to be dug up.
There are many, many documentaries and articles on the topics and events in this post. If you want to know more, you can check out two documentaries: Freedom Summer, watch it here and Freedom Riders, watch it here. The film Mississippi Burning tells the general story of the investigation, but has many historical inaccuracies and takes a lot of dramatic license. The film Ghosts of Mississippi tells the story of the successful prosecution of Medgar Evans' killer, 30 years after the fact. It has inaccuracies also, but fewer than Burning.)
These are not definitive, but a place to start, and widely available for free streaming.

DGCA nod must for Kingfisher to resume operations: Ajit Singh Last Updated : 05 Oct 2012 12:37:16 PM IST Ailing Kingfisher extends partial lockout till October 12
As Kingfisher Airlines extended its partial lockout by a week till October 12, Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh on Friday said the debt-ridden company will have to satisfy airline regulator DGCA on safety before it gets permission to fly again.
"There are a lot of factors involved in it. That includes the salaries of the employees, their disgruntlement issues and others. If the employees are disgruntled there is an issue of safety.
"In order to give them permission to fly, they have to satisfy the DGCA on all these issues. The rest is if the law allows or...if we want to suspend their licence or revoke it,we have to see if the law permits," Singh told reporters.
Ailing Kingfisher Airlines extended its partial lockout by a week till October 12 as talks between its management and employees failed to break the deadlock over non-payment of salaries for the last seven months.
The beleaguered airline, meanwhile, got some reprieve as bankers agreed to release funds from escrow accounts, which is likely to release up to Rs 60 crore for the carrier.
In an apparent fallout of the worsening crisis in Vijay Mallya-owned private carrier, the wife of one of its Delhi-based employees allegedly committing suicide, blaming financial stress due to non-payment of salary to her husband for five months.
The airline also announced in the National Stock Exchange that its Company Secretary Bharath Raghavan has quit the company.
Regretting that the "illegal strike" by a section of the airline employees has still not been withdrawn and normalcy yet to be restored, a late night statement by Kingfisher said it is constrained to extend the partial lock-out upto October 12. The partial lock-out commenced on Monday evening.
About 100 Kingfisher employees, including engineers and pilots, took out a candle light march from domestic airport in Mumbai to Kingfisher house to mourn the death of Susmita, the wife of Manas Chakarvarti, a technician with the airline.
Kingfisher Airline CEO Sanjay Agarwal and Executive Vice President Hitesh Patel met Delhi-based staff, including engineers and pilots, to convince them to rejoin duty.
Sources said the management offered the March salary to the employees and promised to pay the remaining six months salary once the airline is recapitalised. This offer was rejected by the employees for the second time in two days.Kingfisher stocks tumbled by about five per cent, falling for the fourth straight day. The script tanked 4.79 per cent to hit the lower circuit limit of Rs.13.90 on BSE.
Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh expressed doubts whether the carrier, facing a partial lockout, will resume its operations soon.
He said the airline should be in a position to get its planes certified and satisfy the DGCA that the schedule which they have given is maintained.
Concerned over the worsening crisis, Kingfisher's lenders held an emergency meeting in Mumbai to discuss the evolving situation.

Morphogenesis of the heart requires tight control of cardiac progenitor cell specification, expansion, and differentiation. Retinoic acid (RA) signaling restricts expansion of the second heart field (SHF), serving as an important morphogen in heart development. Here, we identify the LIM domain protein Ajuba as a crucial regulator of the SHF progenitor cell specification and expansion. Ajuba-deficient zebrafish embryos show an increased pool of Isl1(+) cardiac progenitors and, subsequently, dramatically increased numbers of cardiomyocytes at the arterial and venous poles. Furthermore, we show that Ajuba binds Isl1, represses its transcriptional activity, and is also required for autorepression of Isl1 expression in an RA-dependent manner. Lack of Ajuba abrogates the RA-dependent restriction of Isl1(+) cardiac cells. We conclude that Ajuba plays a central role in regulating the SHF during heart development by linking RA signaling to the function of Isl1, a key transcription factor in cardiac progenitor cells.

This 1951 MG has engine number TD/4045 which means she has the original 1250cc XPAG engine before the changeover in the summer of 1951. The standard 1250cc XPAG engine of the MG TC and early MG TD received modifications to accommodate a larger clutch in July of 1951. The engine number prefix was changed to TD2, and MG TDs fitted with this engine have become known as TD2 models among MG enthusiasts. The changeover occurred at engine number XPAG/TD2/9408. (The TD2 differs from the MG TD Mark II or TD Competition Model which was also produced at the same time).

US 4522208 A Abstract In order to determine parameter values of an implanted programmable pacemaker, each parameter value is assigned a time ΔT which is a fraction of the pacing period T in the magnetic mode. In a pair of successive pacing intervals with the combined duration of 2T, one interval is shortened and the other lengthened by the amount ΔT. With the pacemaker in the magnetic mode, the parameter value is identified by observing the position of the middle pulse in the double interval 2T.
Claims(3) 1. A method of determining the values of the programmable parameters of an implanted programmable pacemaker, comprising:
operating the pacemaker in asynchronous mode with a pacing period T; assigning to each parameter value a time ΔT which is a fraction of the period T; in a pair of successive pacing intervals with the combined duration of 2T shortening one interval and lengthening the other by the amount ΔT; and comparing the relative lengths of said intervals, thereby identifying the parameter value. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein ΔT has a positive and a negative range of values, thereby causing the total range of ΔT values to extend to both sides of the middle of the 2T interval.
3. The method according to claim 2, wherein a maximum of sixteen programmable values per parameter are represented by eight positive and eight negative ΔT values.
Description This is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 254,860, now abandoned. 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to implantable cardiac pacemakers of the kind which are externally programmable for changing certain operating parameters. More particularly, the invention relates to a method of externally determining the actual parameter values which have been programmed into an implanted pacemaker. 2. The Prior Art Programmable pacemakers have provisions for the external programming of various parameters, such as stimulation pulse rate, escape interval, refractory period, pulse width, pulse amplitude, and sensitivity. Also programmable is the mode of operation, such as demand, synchronous and asynchronous. Communication between the external programmer and the pacemaker may be by means of radio waves, ultrasound, by magnetic fields, or by other means. Usually, the pacemaker is provided with a reed switch which may be closed by the application of an external magnet, thereby causing the pacemaker to be switched into asynchronous mode. A programmable pacemaker of this kind is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,124,031. According to this patent, the magent is also used for programming, in that it is alternately removed from and applied to the patient in predetermined sequences of varying durations. Although this method of programming has the advantage of not requiring any special programming apparatus, it has the disadvantage that the pacemaker may be inadvertently programmed incorrectly if a mistake is made in the sequence of applications and removals of the magnet. It is therefore desirable, in a programmable pacemaker, to have the possibility of checking the actual programmed settings. It should be noted that apart from the stimulation pulse rate, most of the programmable parameters mentioned above are not observable on ECG equipment. A circuit for determining the parameter control states of an implanted pacemaker is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,190,055. According to this patent, the contents of a binary register containing the control inputs to the parameter controlling circuitry of the pacemaker are converted into serial form by means of a parallel to serial converter. The appearance of one logic state in the serial output causes a delay to be added between simulating pulses, while the appearance of the other logic state does not affect the pulse rate, so that for instance a logic one will appear as a longer interval between pulses than the intervals representing a logic zero. It is the main object of the present invention to provide a method by means of which the values of the programmable parameters of an implanted pacemaker may be easily and accurately determined externally, even when there are a large number of programmable parameters having a large range of possible settings. Another object of the invention is to provide a method which ascertains an accurate read-out of parameter values regardless of the state of the pacemaker battery. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a pacemaker to which the present invention is applicable. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the principle of the invention. FIG. 3 is a enlarged portion of FIG. 2. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the relative positions of pacing pulses. FIG. 5 is a flow chart of a program by means of which the present method may be performed with the microprocessor-controlled pacemaker according to FIG. 1. In the block diagram of FIG. 1, only the circuits necessary to explain this invention are shown. The sensing and pacing electrodes 1 and 2 of the pacemaker are connected to sensing and pacing circuits 3 which communicate with a microprocessor 4 via an interface 5. A bus 6 is shown interconnecting the circuits 3 and the interface 5, and another bus 7 connects the interface with the microprocessor 4. A bus 8 connects the microprocessor with a program memory (ROM) 9 and a random acces memory 10. The programmed values of all the programmable parameters are stored in the RAM 10. The pacing period is determined by a clock 11 and a counter 12. The clock 11 is connected to the counter 12 by means of a line 13 and also has a connection 14 to the microprocessor. The counter is pre-settable by the microprocessor via lines 15 and has a connection 16 to the microprocessor on which a signal appears when the preset number of clock pulses have been counted. If, as an example, the clock pulse frequency on the line 13 is 100 Hz and the pacing period is set at 800 ms, corresponding to a pacing rate of 75 pulses per minute, the microprocessor will set the counter 12 to 80. After 80 clock pulses on the line 13, i.e. after 800 ms, the counter will produce an output signal on line 16, whereupon the microprocessor triggers a pacing pulse and again sets the counter 12 to 80. Connected to the interface 5 is a reed switch 17 which, when caused to close by means of an external magnet, will cause the pacemaker to be switched into asynchronous mode with a predetermined pacing rate. Other parameters, such as pulse width and amplitude, may also by set to preselected values by the closing of the reed switch 17. The previous operating mode and parameter values are retained in the memory 10, so that upon removal of the magnet the pacemaker will return to its previous mode of operation and parameter settings, unless these have been reprogrammed while the pacemaker was in the magnetic mode. Since the programming as such does not form any part of the present invention, no programming means have been shown in the drawings. If the communication between the pacemaker and the external programmer is by means of for instance radio waves or ultrasound, there would be a receiving and transmitting circuit connected to the interface 5. In the present example, it is assumed that communication is by means of electrical signals across electrodes applied to the patient's body, such electrodes being for instance in the form of bracelets attached to the patient's wrists. The programmer would be adapted to sense the pacing pulses, synchronise itself therewith the transmit information in the periods between pacing pulses. The electrical signals representing this programming information would be picked up by the sensing electrode of the pacemaker and transferred to the microprocessor 4 via the interface 5. By transmitting a special code from the programmer, the microprocessor may be made to read out the parameter values from the RAM 10. According to this invention, the parameter values are transmitted from the pacemaker to the programming unit by means of a code which consists in shortening and lengthening the pacing periods in a special way which will be described in the following. FIG. 2 is a time diagram of two consecutive pacing periods, each of the duration T. The position of the pacing pulse starting the first pacing period is indicated at t1, t2 indicates the position of the pulse ending the first and starting the second period, and t3 marks the position of the pulse ending the second period. The period T is the pacing period in the aforementioned magnetic or asynchronous mode. If, as an example, the pacing rate in the magnetic mode is 100 pulses per minute, the period T will be 600 ms, corresponding to 60 clock pulses to the counter 12, assuming a clock pulse frequency of 100 Hz. When the value of a parameter is read out, the center pulse is displaced from the position t2 by an amount ΔT within the range indicated in FIG. 2 by -ΔTmax and +ΔTmax to the left and right, respectively, of the center position t2. The value of ΔT is related to the value of the parameter, so that the parameter value can be determined by observing the position of the center pulse. With reference to FIG. 3, assuming a maximum of sixteen possible values for any parameter, corresponding to four bits of memory in the RAM 10, the first eight values correspond to ΔT displacements numbered 0 to 7 within the range -ΔTmax to the left of the center position t2, and the remaining eight values correspond to ΔT displacements numbered 8 to 15 within the range +ΔTmax to the right of the center position t2. If the parameter value is in the range from 0 to 7, according to FIG. 3, the corresponding time ΔT is subtracted from the first pacing period T and added to the second pacing period T. If the parameter value is within the range 8 to 15, the corresponding ΔT value will be added to the first pacing period T and subtracted from the second pacing period T. This is more clearly illustrated in FIG. 4, which shows three pacing pulses P1, P2 and P3 in two pacing periods with the combined duration 2T. The first pulse P1 occurs at the time t1 and the last pulse P3 at the time t3, whereas the middle pulse P2 is displaced to the left of the time t2, indicating a parameter value within the range -ΔTmax in FIG. 3. Thus, the first pacing period has a duration of T-ΔT and the second has the duration T+ΔT. The parameter value is established by measuring the position of the middle pulse P2 with respect to the position of the pulses P1 and P3. The flow chart of a program for reading out the parameter values from the memory 10 is illustrated in FIG. 5. It is assumed that all parameter values are stored in consecutive memory locations, the lowest memory address having the symbolic name FIRST and the highest memory address having the symbolic name LAST. The parameter value is called K and has a value in the range from 0 to 15. The pacing period is represented in the program by the variable T, the value of which is the number of clock pulses delivered to the counter 12 from the clock 11 in one pacing period. Assuming the previously mentioned pacing rate in the magnetic mode of 100 pulses per minute, the initial value of T will be 60. The program starts by setting the memory address MA at the lowest value, and then the parameter value K is red from that memory location. Thereafter, a positive or negative value for ΔT is calculated, depending upon whether K is smaller than 8 or not. If, as an example, K=0, then ΔT will be given the value 8. This value is then subtracted from T, giving the new value T=52. The program then waits while the main program causes the counter 12 to be loaded with the new value of T and a pacing pulse has been generated. Control then returns to the program in FIG. 5 which increases T by 2ΔT, giving a new value T=68. The program waits again for the value T to be loaded into the counter and for a new pacing pulse to be generated, whereafter T is reset to its original value by subtracting ΔT. It will be seen that, by the subtraction and addition of ΔT to the original value of T, one pacing period will be shortened to 520 ms whereas the next pacing period will be lenghtened to 680 ms, resulting in a spacing between pulses such as illustrated in FIG. 4. The next step in the program of FIG. 5 is to test whether the highest memory address has been reached. If this is not the case, MA is incremented and the program returns for reading the value K of the next parameter from the new memory address. When the highest memory address (LAST) has been reached, the program ends. Although the pacing period T in the magnetic mode is programmed at a certain fixed value, the actual length of the period T will depend upon electrical parameters of the individual pacemaker, particularly the state of the battery. If the period T is set initially to 600 ms, the actual length of the period will typically be around 700 ms towards the end of battery life. Such variations are automatically compensated for using the method of the present invention, since a parameter value is represented by the position of pulse P2 relative to the pulses P1 and P3, regardless of the actual length of the double period 2T (FIG. 4). The position of the pulse P2 within the interval 2T may of course by observed with the aid of ECG Equipment. It would be more convenient, however, to provide the external programming apparatus with electronic circuits for measuring the spacing between pulses and numerical or alphanumerical display means for automatically displaying the parameter values. Although the invention has been described hereabove in connection with a microprocessor-controlled pacemaker of the general type illustrated in FIG. 1, it should be understood that the invention is applicable also to other types of pacemakers, and that other variations are conceivable within the scope of the claims.

Never in my wildest did I imagine I would ever post a news clip by Fox New commentator John Stossel. Well I guess it pays to keep an open mind. What follows is a clever and tragic account of the extreme over-policing that categorizes contemporary US society.
If video fails to play, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBiJB8YuDBQ
so is this guy:
It was a good analogy for more important stuff...probably the best thing he'd done.
It was a good analogy for more important stuff...probably the best thing he'd done.
It's been said before; it bears repeating, "The Law Is An Ass!" and, "Any justice that emerges from the practice of law, is purely coincidental."
On the whole, Stossel is pretty laughable. This is a piece of TV fluff.
jmac and ONL, I'm fully aware of Stossel's other flaws. I myself have a strong libertarian streak when it comes to personal liberties. I also have a long time allergy to argumentum ad hominem fallacies - that's where you condemn a person's viewpoint because you dislike their viewpoint on other issues. This was the main reason I posted the video. I honestly can't find fault with anything he says here.
I think it's important to recognize who Stossel is. This man is richly rewarded by his corporate backers to spout his neoliberal free market bullshit. The same cannot be said for grassroots libertarians. I think we need to actively seek areas in which we share common ground with them - in my view this is the only way forward in building a viable anticorporate movement.
This concept would, undoubtedly, be fought by police authorities and not a simple thing to be put into operation but, in the long run, would not only correct bad behavir, but also result in much more respect for the police who most frequently are punished for whistle blowing on bad behavior.

Operation: Understanding – Our History, Our Present
Yesterday, the ISJL hosted students from Operation Understanding, an organization whose mission is to develop a group of young African American and Jewish leaders knowledgeable about each other's histories and cultures to effectively lead the communities of Philadelphia, PA and Washington, D.C. to a greater understanding of diversity and acceptance.
I thought I would share with our readers here a little of what I shared with the students in our office.
Having taught high school history for a number of years, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to do a presentation for teenagers on the relationship between Southern Jews and African Americans. This is not an easy talk to give to any age group, because while we like the stories of Jews fighting for civil rights, the historical truth is that those were primarily Northern Jews; most Southern Jews were not actively involved in fighting against the white hierarchy of the South.
Jews in states like Mississippi lived in a climate of fear and intimidation. Southern Jews were acutely aware that any challenge to white supremacy would result in serious social and economic consequences. Synagogue bombings, threats of economic boycott, and violence directed against civil rights workers convinced a lot of Southern Jews to remain relatively silent.
African American activists faced the same challenges, but to a much higher degree. James Chaney – one of three civil rights workers murdered during Freedom Summer by members of the Ku Klux Klan near Philadelphia, Mississippi – struggled to find support for civil rights among his local community. They were afraid of falling prey to what ultimately happened to Chaney. Chaney knew the risk and accepted it, paying dearly for his bravery. Following his death, his mother Fannie made sure that James' younger brother Ben would follow his brother's footsteps. I can't imagine the kind of courage that would allow a mother to risk such a sacrifice, but she did, and Ben is still an active advocate of civil rights today.
Rabbi Arthur Lelyveld, a Jewish activist who came down to Hattiesburg, Mississippi trying to register black voters, elected to leave the danger almost as soon as he arrived. He did not make the decision lightly or at some small act of intimidation, however: he was senselessly beaten with a tire iron in board daylight by white supremacists. A small group representing Hattiesburg's Jewish community urged him to get out of town, fearful their synagogue would get burned or their members injured or killed. Lelyveld responded: "Don't worry, I can't wait to leave."
These stories illustrate of a larger lesson: when any one of us fights for a social justice cause, we often embark on that journey with the best of intentions and without anticipating all of the dangers, difficulties and tragedies along the way. When that path threatens our safety or the safety of others, we begin to question how far we should go. Despite enduring great risk and suffering great injury, Lelyveld was able to return to the North and never face his aggressors again. Jews within the Hattiesburg community had to live among them with the memory of his beating urging them against anything other than compliance.
Even still, some very brave Southern Jews did stand up for civil rights in all sorts of ways. Many prominent Southern rabbis called for an end to bombings of African American churches and school segregation. And, despite the threat of boycotts against businesses owned by their husbands and families, many Jewish women worked against the segregationist system through organizations like the Women's Emergency Committee. The organization was formed to combat the governor's closing of Little Rock High schools. One Jewish woman, Marilyn Siegel, raised money for the WEC while dying from cancer.
Today, learning and working together, we can use these stories as an opportunity to ask ourselves larger questions about what we would do in similar circumstances. The issue of personal sacrifice for the sake of the common good is at the crux of a democracy. Each of us must inevitably weigh just how much we are willing to sacrifice for others every day in our own lives.
Here are some of the reflections and insights from some of these amazing students:
- "I think too many people my age assume someone else is going to take care of things and so they don't do anything but it doesn't mean we don't still care."
- "In my community, the biggest problem is young black males being incarcerated, but I don't know how to help because the problem seems so big."
- "A bunch of us walked out to protest budget cuts to our public schools, but not everyone because they were scared of being suspended. I think we let fear get in the way of standing up for things we care about."
- "I like the fact that my community is so diverse. I think it makes everyone stronger somehow. People tend to look out for one another and that makes me proud to live there."
What are your observations about diversity in your community? How do historical narratives shape your own understanding? I'd love to hear your thoughts, too.

Star Wars Shabbaton: The Force Was With Us
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a student who wanted to have a Star Wars Shabbaton…
Okay, so it wasn't that long ago, and it's totally in this galaxy (although some may see the Jewish South as a "galaxy far, far away"). When I first visited congregation Agudas Achim in San Antonio, Texas, in August 2013, the director of their school told me that part of my work with them would be writing programing for their annual religious school February Shabbaton, or Sabbath/weekend retreat.
She also informed me there was a student who wanted to give me ideas about said Shabbaton. Zachary.
Zachary loves Star Wars, and he just could not understand why we had never made Star Wars the theme of the Shabbaton. So when I returned for my fall visit in November, Zachary and I went out to lunch to discuss all his ideas.
Over the next few months we all worked hard to put together a weekend full of Star Wars and Jewish learning. You may be familiar with the concept of The Force, but did you know there is a "Force" in Judaism, too? God gave people free will and intelligent minds to use as we please. In the same way that Jedis can use the force for good or for evil, Judaism believes that every person has a yetzer ha-tov (good inclination) and a yetzer ha-ra (evil inclination) that they choose to follow. In both situations, we have to learn to master our powers and use them to make the world a better place.
This was the theme of our weekend. We staged relay races and a scavenger hunt to help students learn about Jewish values and how these values lead us to use our powers for good. The whole weekend was a great success, and I never would have come up with the theme if not for Zachary. He explained all the intricate details of the Star Wars characters and showed me how their personalities and talents could teach us Jewish content. I was so impressed by how he had thought this through. This was an amazing example of the fact that students learn best when you teach them in a way they can relate: Zachary loves Star Wars, so we used that to teach him and his classmates about related Jewish concepts.
I really enjoyed the experience of working with Zachary, and not just because it made my job a little easier. It was so rewarding to see a student excited about Jewish learning for himself and his classmates. The activities of this weekend taught these students in a way they could relate to without diluting the Jewish content. I hope this can be an example I take to other communities, and I hope it can inspire you, too.
What are the interests of your students? How can those interests become an avenue for teaching Jewish content? I would love to hear from you about how you accomplish this in your schools.

A Noose Around James Meredith's Neck: Where Do We Go From Here?
Earlier this week, in Oxford, Mississippi, two unidentified perpetrators placed a noose around the neck of the James Meredith statue at the University of Mississippi. There was also an old Georgia state flag (which incorporated the confederate flag) draped around his shoulders.
James Meredith was the first African American student at the University of Mississippi, or "Ole Miss"
as it is still most commonly called. The campus has had several negative incidents of intolerance in the past few years – riots and racial slurs after President Obama's re-election, heckling and homophobic remarks during a performance of The Laramie Project.
As a current undergraduate student at another college here in Mississippi, the first question that came to my mind when first hearing of this incident was: Where do we go from here?
I know this is not representative of that entire campus and community, but the fact remains that it happened (as did the heckling at the play, as did the racial slurs after the presidential election). It's not enough to just not he perpetrators; we cannot just be bystanders. I grew up in the South and am certainly not a stranger to racial tension, but this is something much, much more deeply rooted and severe. It is something from which we cannot look away. I can't escape it even if I wanted to – purely out of coincidence, I am going to Oxford this weekend to visit an old friend, now a student up there at Ole Miss, who happens to be African-American.
While I still look forward to the company of my friend, I will also feel a certain sense of dread sitting on the bus that will steadily edge closer to Oxford. In a way, this bus will be a time machine, taking me back to a Southern past I had assumed I would never experience firsthand.
Which brings me to my next question: As a white person with many close black friends, what is my own responsibility in improving race relations in our country?
In many ways living in the Deep South mirrors the experiences I had studying conflict resolution in Northern Ireland. In Belfast a peace agreement was signed in 1998, officially putting an end to The Troubles. The key word here is officially. While the violence dramatically decreased, much of the cross community tensions remained and were still present when I traveled there in 2013. However, because there is infrastructure for cross-community dialogue in Belfast this sentiment has been changed in some of these most hard lined members of the conflict.
Perhaps we in the US can take a lesson from the Northern Irish in thinking about our own civil rights movement. Although the campaigning days of Dr. Martin Luther King are gone, agreements have been signed, and laws have been made, we still desperately need cross-community dialogue.
This is, in part, why the work we do in the community engagement department is so important. Engaging the community in dialogue and discussing these horrible incidents of racism when they occur is one of the most important steps toward a better future. It helps this white Southern college student be part of answering that first question: Where do we go from here?
It's something I'll be thinking about while riding that bus, just as others did in the past, and I'm glad to continue working with a team to encounter difficult truths and come up with shared solutions.

When did you sign up?
I started comin' to gaia in 2003. I forget how I found out about it, but it's been fun. It's gotten better just within the past few months, but it was getting better before that. It's really done better since October. I'd go months at a time with not coming on here 'cause nothing ever happened, now I come on here everyday to see what's going on and if there's an update. Well that and I like the daily chance thing... *laughs*
