PAUL WALDMAN has an excellent post about immigration reform in America, and the crucial role of provisions that undocumented workers be made to learn English on their path to citizenship. Such a provision is mostly about politics, not language, because it's not really necessary. Mr Waldman describes the three-generation pattern that has turned every past wave of no-English groups coming to America (Jews, Italians, Germans) into monoglot Anglophones. There is no reason to expect different from today's Latinos, even given their large numbers and concentration in certain places. The immigrants' kids always learn English, and speak the heritage language at home. The third generation has a smattering of the heritage language, at best. The fourth: as the Italians in Brooklyn say, fuhgeddaboutit.
But putting a learn-English provision in an immigration-reform bill comforts the current generation of American citizens nervous that a path to citenzhip means a path to a bilingual America. They see signs in Spanish (if not in many other languages) in their own towns and wonder if e pluribus unum no longer applies. It does.
If the drafters are sensible, a part of the "learn-English" package will be funding for courses. You can't expect a hard-working adult day labourer to pick up English from the atmosphere (especially when he's likely to work with his fellow immigrants). And as part of this step forward, I hope we don't expect immigrants to avoid using their first languages. The three-generation pattern has already stripped so many Americans of what would be a valuable skill; native fluency in a foreign language. There's no reason to hurry the process by treating a naturalised immigrant as suspicious for keeping his first language alive in his family. The solution to this apparent conundrum is very simple: bilingualism. It's a healthy thing that Americans have historically been too suspicious of. Nebraska banned almost all foreign-language teaching in 1919. Hopefully, America has made progress since then. English is good, but that's not the same thing as English-only.

Did you watch PBS's "American Experience" the other night on Henry Ford?
Ford's five-dollar day wasn't guaranteed; he called it an incentive wage and it came with strings attached. Ford required his immigrant workers, who represented as many as 53 nationalities and spoke more than 100 different languages, attend the company's English Language School. The school's curriculum relied heavily on mass recitation and included practical lessons based on daily life and routines. After six months of study, graduating workers participated in a ceremony called "The Pageant of the Ford Melting Pot."
Thanks for mentioning this. - Regards.
A great test of whether English is to be soon taken over by Spanish speaking immigrants and their families, is to speak Spanish to second generation Hispanic/Latino young adults.
When I try this, I often get an annoyed look, as if to say -
"Why are you talking to me like that? Spanish is the language of my parents. I'm an American. We speak English here."
My take on this is a subtle and unconscious (sorry, this has to come out no matter how hard I try to not peel the onion) element - small or big depending on the specific facts and circumstance - of racism internalized. I have spoken Chinese to many second-generation youngish folks of monolingual Chinese parents. Their response would be akin to what you described. When I sense the reaction and immediately switch to English, they would be more "friendly" to me. There is no doubt a push to assimilate and acculturate, much at the expense of giving up the immigrant's own parental language and cultural heritage. I think it is a big and unfortunate price to pay for being "totally accepted" by perceived mainstream culture. In those instances where the price is paid, it is seen as a necessary sacrifice. Plus it is damn hard to be fully literate in English plus another language.
Ashbird, you just want to show of that you can speak Chinese. Go on admit it.
Good point though.
I'm a first generation immigrant in New York.
Do you think if someone could speak English they would work as a waiter for $6 an hour, or work an entire day hauling heavy things in the cold for $100? You get more in McDonalds or something.
I am both Hispanic and Chinese and I can explain the reaction. When I speak with older people,if I am in Washington Heights or Chinatown. I will use Spanish or Chinese as I bet can to make them more comfortable. If they switch to English, I will as well.
The reason younger people may not like it is because it is insulting. These are ghettoes were everyone wants to get out from. You are associating them with country-bumpkins and fresh off the boats by speaking in a "native language." In addition, if they are second-generation they probably have extremely poor native language skills.
It is very hard for an adult brain to learn a new language. I would say anyone older than 15 finds it more difficult to remove their accent.
I pretty much agree with you, although not all immigrants live in ghettos. Where I live now, immigrants live throughout the city, and some have been very successful as businessmen/women, educators, etc.
Regarding a native language being passed on to future generations, I think it depends on the family.
My wife is a second generation immigrant and speaks her parent's native language. However, our children know very little of it because we didn't speak it in the home as they were growing up, because I don't speak it personally.
However, some families do speak a native language in a home, and it is passed on to the kids. In fact, my wife learned her parents native language first, and English second.
Oh! God! I can't say something without being accused of something? :)
Actually, to correct the facts in your accusation, I am a published author in Chinese, as early as age 15.
As to good point, thanks. I am a published author in English, on the subjects of law and psychiatry, with a doctoral degree in both.
So I have gone on and admitted it. I hope for the last time. The psychiatry part told me I don't need to do it. It is unnecessary and tiresome.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, I totally agree.
My own thought is no one needs to wear the baggage of stimatization. New immigrants are in a unique position to enjoy a fresh opportunity to integrate the best in the host culture and offer to it the best from their mother culture. Language is but one of a myriad challenges. Speaking well is but one of many skills, albeit a handy one. I also don't know that accents are such terrible things. What is more important is what is meant to be said is said in words that are precise and clear.
"Plus it is damn hard to be fully literate in English plus another language."
Amen to that, Ashbird. Particularly when the other language is non-alphabetic, which is the case for both of us.
:) :)
Yes! Anjin-San. A non-alphabetic language. God knows the toil and sweat and sometime tears that have gone into the work. But emininently worthwhile work. We were both lucky to have had the opportunity for that learning, and of course the work is never finished....
Being literate in more than one language in the end means living in them and thus living them. This is perhaps the hardest challenge of bi-literacy or multi-literacy - living them. Sometimes you feel interstitial, sometimes you feel doubly-whole. But always you feel - well - fortunate.

I am an anglophone in a part of Canada where the population is 96% francophone. No one compels me to learn French. But I've already learned about the culture I'm missing. I've completed one semester of beginners' French. I already know that fortunate feeling. So, at 74,
I'm still learning. Being able to draw on two distinct cultures to see the world is wonderful!
Thank you for a thoughtful and very descriptive comment!
Kindest regards.
My warmest regards to you too!
You wrote: "Being able to draw on two distinct cultures to see the world is wonderful!"
Yes! Yes! And Yes! It has been my personal experience that language itself is an algorithm. It works to organize what is seen and perceived. This vital function is put on a reversed gear when a language is learned first and the seeing and perceiving, coming second, gets to be guided instead of guide. One can get into a great deal of analysis of this process itself. Understanding that process at this point in human civilization is secondary. The languages are there already! So learning a language and drawing from it to see the world becomes a journey of exploration of how the people who use it as a native language think . If that is not mind-opening. I don't know what is. And if mind-opening is not wonderful, I don't know what is!
And then in terms of neuroplasticity, learning a language provides, in my view, the best maintenance and continuing improvement regimen there is. And a most fun one. You will never be old! Have great fun! With all my best from across the miles! :)
Learning other languages is valuable, but bilingual education has a much tarnished history in the US. Programs that sought to produce bilingual graduates by teaching half of all classes in Spanish, for instance, produced very poor results, both in general academically, and also in the kids' knowledge of their second language. So let's not go down that road again.
Having said that, if the legislation demands that immigrants learn English, then it should provide the means to learn. But in reality, this is all windown dressing. The requirement to learn English will be written in such a watered-down way that no real English proficiency will be required. The provision is there to provide cover for politicians, not for any practical effect.
It's ironic that the US, which succeeded in the 20th century in exporting its language and culture throughout the world beyond the dreams of any of its imperial predecessors (including the UK), is fearful of the encroachment of other cultures. The dominant US culture has in fact been encroached upon and changed many times in the US's short history by waves of immigrants. Every large wave of immigrants has had to adapt to American norms, and in response, American norms have had to adjust in generally small ways. Most people would admit under close questioning that those myriad adjustments have improved the US, but we still feel insecure. Probably it is because we lack deep cultural roots. Change may improve a country, but change is never welcome, even when change is the norm.
Great comment!
Regarding the depth of cultural roots, my own thoughts: If American can learn to embrace the best* in the culture each immigrant brings and, through a process of acculturation of its newcomers**, remove the worst***, America is the one country in the world that enjoys the best chance of growing the strongest root system yet, strongest precisely because this system is not mono-chromatic and uni-dimensional and therefore tiny in its collective mental and behavioral repertoire like a Taliban village. Fitness for survival requires multivariate strengths.
For the same rationale stated, I also think all immigrants should learn to become good in English to the extent their innate linguistic aptitude allows. There is no reason not to. I am therefore on the side of requiring new immigrants to learn English.
*Strong work ethic comes to mind, high threshold for delayed gratification comes to mind - two virtues fundamental to a sound moral system, one that insures against the decline and fall of a political system inclusive of its economic and associated infrastructures. History taught us some lessons.
** which will happen by the force of natural selection
*** a variety of inflexible habits of living that ill-adapt to mainstream society and invites its hostility
"I also think all immigrants should learn to become good in English"
I think you mean all immigrants should learn to speak English well.
Bad English is the world's universal language, and poor usage of the language has never been a major barrier to communication, as is shown on this website every day. If it was, Americans wouldn't be able to speak to each other.
OK. :) As long as what is intended to be conveyed is clearly conveyed, the usage is good enough. There is also the flip side: comprehending what is intended to be conveyed. Although much of communication takes place on a "meta" level, what is directly spoken, face-to-face, remains to be Square One, I suppose. On this website, sometimes some folks evidence problems in reading comprehension. That is a different story. :)
On bilingual education, I think it doesn't work to teach a subject (any subject) bilingually. I think that is bad pedagogy for the subject and for the language. What would work better, I think, is a required English Language course as a stand-alone subject (and it would include drilling on grammar). The required course begins from 1st grade all the way to 12th.
Each wave of immigrants also changes the language. Mencken wrote about the "American language" because our English has taken on so much from other languages also present. We then export the new vocabulary and grammar, including to England where they speak a tributary language.
At long, long, long last, GOTCHA, Ohio.
You wrote:
"If it was, Americans wouldn't be able to speak to each other."
However, in an "If . . . " clause, one should use the subjunctive mood.
Thus I know you meant:
"If it were, Americans wouldn't be able to speak to each other."
Thanks for a sound, meaningful post. If it be any consolation, few of us perform well before that second cup of coffee. Moreover, pedantic adherence to the rules of "good" English does not always facilitate communication.
He that lives by the sword shall die by the sword.
The more important reason for requiring knowledge of English as a means to citizenship is that one cannot fully participate in the American experience without it. Lack of English among newcomers does a disservice to the individual and the country. I am less concerned about the comfort quotient of nincompoops.
100% agree. The disservice is at least equal in the case of the individual if not more.
I also want to hone in further - not only "fully participate in", but also "fully partake of".
America is not a monolithic undifferentiated gargantuan mass of blah-blah blandness. The wonder and joy of being an American is the freedom to be different without qualms while respecting and appreciating the differences found in all without qualms. I believe this is the true meaning and spirit of American individualism. The many languages present in the large culture form the bone and sinew of this individualism.
And the best example I know, the blog commenter/Han thug who learned English as an adult and has to mention that she or he is not a native speaker or we wouldn't have any idea.
Bad boy Doug for calling someone Han thug and apparently a hermaphrodite no less. :)
Who knows? Doug may be referring to Han Solo :P
Funny! No worries. All is well. :)
I remember talking to a WASP niece about her favorite foods. She was 7, it was 1999, and she had no clue that pizza and tortillas were not just American food. After I told her that they came from Italy and Mexico, she made a wry, skeptical face, as if I were kidding her, as I did so often.
It's always the same. The latest to arrive are going to ruin the country. In fact, a sure sign of acceptance is that you are welcome to join in tormenting the newcomers.
Even our wise and intelligent Founding Father Benjamin Franklin wrote articles attacking those troubling Pennsylvania Germans, who kept to themselves, and had the unmitigated gall to speak German.
"There is no reason to expect different from today's Latinos, ...." (RLG)
Umm ... no. (But hey - you nailed it PC-perfect, guy - like what else matters, right?)
Seeing as the US citizenship test already includes test of English and civics, I'm not sure why we need more legislation about it:
During your naturalization interview, a USCIS Officer will ask you questions about your application and background. You will also take an English and civics test unless you qualify for an exemption or waiver. The English test has three components: reading, writing, and speaking. The civics test covers important U.S. history and government topics.
See (sorry about the monster URL): http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.749cabd81f5ffc8fba713d10...
Fuhgeddaboutit, as well as badda bing badda bang badda boom, are well-established colloquialisms not only in Brooklyn but most of Long Island and parts of northern New Jersey.
Obviously, R.L.G. has never seen a single episode of "The Sopranos," a long-running HBO original television series starring James Galdofini, Edie Falco and Lorraine Bracco.
Call me crazy, but I think that it is pretty clear to immigrants that they would be better off learning English, and that they do so to the extent that they are able. If Congress wants to set up or subsidize language centers, they should do that. But that's not really the point here, is it?
Immigrants will learn as much English as they need to, when they have to. That's the way it's always been.
How about accelerated citizenship for non-english speaking immigrants who teach a second language to english only natives?
The last line "English is good, but that's not the same thing as English-only" is very good. A lot of the people who complain about immigrants not learning English also no doubt believe in the power of "market forces". Almost everyone will end up learning English because it is in their economic interest to do so - no prodding, pushing, cajoling, or taunting necessary.
In fact, those reactions can only serve to antagonize and turn off immigrants from other political views you espouse that may actually be good!
There are so many hispanics now in CA and FL that refuse to speak English that non-Spanish speakers are now discriminated against. There has even been a lawsuit in FL where a non-Spanish speaker was fired from her job because the rest of the group spoke Spanish. Mind you, it was not a requirement for her job to speak Spanish. English must be enforced to prevent discrimination.
It's one thing to learn to speak passable English, as a child or at a later age, by immersion, at school, at work and on the street. It's quite another to become 'proficient', 'fluent' or even 'legally competent'.
But when it comes to achieving 'literacy', well, that's another kettle of fish entirely.
As Steven Pinker demonstrated so elegantly in his book, 'The Language Instinct', all children are born equipped to absorb, or intuitively learn to speak, their 'mother tongue' during infancy. But not to read and write. Those skills do not come naturally to us, are not innate, but methodically, laboriously and often painstakingly acquired.
Likewise, adult newcomers to any language are likely to experience learning to speak the unfamiliar words, both formally and informally, as they did as children, by listening to the music and trying to emulate the sounds by approximation. Some, blessed with a 'musical ear', or 'perfect pitch', are better equipped to reproduce orally what they perceive aurally. Tone-deaf immigrants, on the other hand are unlikely to ever sound like a 'native speaker'.
But the most confident foreign speakers may yet be undone by the ignominy of having to memorize notoriously 'illogical' rules of spelling and grammar and find themselves thereby condemned to remain 'legally illiterate'.
If nothing else, the discussion here demonstrates the universal assumptions and misconceptions of what is at stake when people, for whatever 'insane' reason, uproot themselves from the world that defined for them what 'natives' are always bound to take for granted.
How often do we hear people say, "How do you say this in English, or German or Russian or Hebrew?"
The trouble partly stems from the inescapable realization, provided we deign to devote any time and energy to that end, that everything we believe, understand and claim to fully grasp, consists to a large extent of contemporary colloquialisms, transient clichés, wild assumptions and plain folk mythology. That applies to every language group on the planet. All of that is irrevocably lost in translation.
There are countless common expressions in every language that are literally impossible to translate accurately into another vernacular. "It's raining cats and dogs", sounds positively idiotic in German. The common expression, "I like you", comes out in Hebrew as, "You find favor in my eyes". Examples are legion.
But that's usually merely amusing. What isn't funny, at all, is that we are, not only what we eat, not what we think, but what we talk about. Immigrant grandparents cannot share their fondest memories with their grandchildren. They can tell stories. If the kids are prepared to sit still that long, sure.
But the fairy tales, the folk customs, the festivals, the clothes, the climate, the houses, the food we ate and how it was purchased and prepared … The children will listen, for a while, But you can see the incomprehension written all over their innocent faces. Nobody knows the trouble I've seen …
"If the drafters are sensible, a part of the "learn-English" package will be funding for courses"
Really? Why should taxpayers pick up the bill for someone's desire to migrate? The lack of care for the public purse is reaching new highs (or new lows?) these days.
I feel that a requiring immigrants to learn English is probably unnecessary. The issue arises however that some immigrant communities demand that their children's school lessons are taught in their native language. With that, I do not agree.
Thank you. I could not agree more. AS someone who was an immigrant as a child (from the US to another country) and who nows works with immigrants as an interpreter, I too was scared when I saw the "prove they speak English" requirement. How would that be done? What degree of fluency? And why?
It may not be necessary, but in California public schools offer bilingual education in English and Spanish to those who want it, whether immigrants or not. I don't mean merely teaching English to Spanish speakers, but teachong Spanish speakers all subjects in their first language, even when they are already fluent on it. Is this necessary? It is done at significant public expense, and a side effect, some believe, is to delay English-language development in those you are learning English as a second language. And rhis is available only for Spanish-speakers, and perhaps one or two others in some districts, but not for the many languages represented by immigrant groups generally.
Is there any other country that educates the children of American residents in English at public expense, where English is not an official language?
Although bilingual education does delay English-language development, being forced to study in a language other than their native language can have a strong negative effect on the education in other subjects for these students. The question becomes whether the priority is to teach English first and other subjects second, or other subjects first and English second. This is a legitimate question; while these skills are important for American society, it is debatable whether or not the immigrants will be able to use them if they have a weaker grasp of English, and may struggle pursuing further education. However, for younger immigrants, there is certainly time to learn both.
As this commenter is from Hong Kong, he would like to give the example of his city; although English is technically one of the three official languages, unlike Mandarin and Cantonese, less than half of the population speaks it, and probably less than a fifth (even including students) speaks it well. Nonetheless, the English Schools Foundation schools are publicly funded, although privately run, with the explicit mission to education expatriates. While he cannot back them up from personal experience, apparently countries such as Argentina, the Netherlands, Spain, and some others, have publicly funded bilingual schools with English as the language of instruction.
That's interesting information about Hong Kong. Thank you. I found this article on the subject of international schools for Anglophone expatriots in HK:

The problem with the speak only "English" argument is that they have built on the myth that America has always been a melting pot. But in fact, America has only been a melting pot in the last 90 years. Prior to that alot of immigrants used to educate their children in their own languages. Look at the Nordic/German Immigrants in Wisconsin orMinnesota. If it was not for WWI, those schools would most likely exist today,. Remember Martin Van Buren was educated in Dutch and English.
People don't assimilate unless they have too. If you were too pulled out all state funding for education, and have it under the control of local boards, the end result would be like what happened in 19th century among German American rural communities.
If you wee German American in the late 19th century, why should you speak English beyond the elementary school level? Most of the technical and scientific literature was German in that period. If you look at the second languages spoken by US Presidents from 1900-1945, for 30 years out of 45 years, the highest office in the Land was held by a person who could read and write German.
If you look at how many languages US Presidents speak (outside of Latin and Greek), you noticed that there are two periods when the US Presidents were the most multilingual. In the beginning, and when the US was heavily engaged in Europe/Asia just before it became a superpower.

'First Look': Local magicians to perform at Festival of Magic
By THE BAKERSFIELD CALIFORNIAN
It's a magic trick that leaves you puzzled, yet intrigued. You pick a card from a standard deck of cards, put it back in the deck and somehow it ends up in a sealed envelope in the coat pocket of a magician.
Tuesday on "First Look with Scott Cox," local magician Chris Lopez performed two magic tricks inches away from simulcast host Scott Cox.
The tricks left Cox surprised.
"We are going to watch this segment in slow motion to see when you did the trick," Cox said.
Lopez and 15 other local magicians will perform at the Festival of Magic 2013 on Nov. 9 at the Marriott Hotel at the Convention Center.
Magic will include illusion, mentalism and other fun tricks, Lopez said.
So how does Lopez come up with the tricks?
"If I see someone performing something, I think of ways to add to it, make it funnier or more entertaining," Lopez said.
Tickets for the magic show are $30 at the door or $20 pre-sale. Close-up magic and cocktails start at 6 p.m. The show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale at the Marriott or at www.ChrisLopezMagic.com.

Ive been playing games since the mid 80's. the original mario was the first game ive ever played and ive been gaming ever since.ive owned pretty much every console there is so i know how to play a video game. flashforeward about 20 years and i meet my girlfriend who i love to death and will probly marry one day. now before me, the only video games she's ever played were animal crossing and mario 64. now me being the game nut that i am i exposed her to it not really expecting much. ive tried to get past girlfriends to play games but aside from some drunken rock band sessions or the occasional awkward grand theft auto,ive had little success. but not with her. shes taken to gaming like a duck with water. shes plays constantly and even listens to pod casts lol.
but here is my problem. i enjoy watching her play games. its alot of fun and shes actually quite good at them. but somtimes when shes playing a game,she does it all wrong. then i try to pipe in with some helpful advice and she yells at me.like im ruining the game or somthing. for example. shes made it over halfway through max payne 3 only using bullet time once or twice. she is repeatedly killed and starts over,over and over again. i try saying,"hey babe,try using bullet time or shoot dodge.it really can make those firefights a bit easier." then she either doesnt listen to me or gets on me about forcing her to play the game my way. or how she will spend over an over in one section in Snake Eater.trying to sneak past all the gaurds un noticed. only to get to the very end and get caught and die. i try saying," sweetie, you have a tranq gun for a reason. if that dude is in your way,just pop him and move on." and again im met with the same anger.
now i am aware that this just might be her playstyle and thats fine. it just seems to me that she is intentionaly trying to make the game as difficult as possible. i try to help but it gets me nothing. ive noticed alot of my fellow gamers dont like being told what to either. so what are some helpful ideas you guys got?

Everyone I know that used to play LoL has quit entirely. It's obvious at this point Riot has no intention of ever supporting Dominion or TT ever again, so we have no further interest in supporting Riot. I keep tabs on the forums once in a while to see if maybe something is happening, but I suspect there will be nothing done this year, if ever. It's kind of just a circle of failure; Riot won't support Dominion because the pro community doesn't care about it, and the pro community doesn't care about it because Riot won't support it. Nobody's going to budge, so the best play is to move on.

i dont want to have to adhere to a stupid meta in dominion because people are too scared to try new things, leave dom casual, at least for now...
Dominion has a very competitive bracket in my opinion for normal, it's a huge ***** climb with lots of great players at the top. Did not like it at lower elo, but I also carried far harder, now if I want my kat or Kass I need to make them an off tank. Still fun and not everyone takes it super seriously but it is hard NOT to try hard when the game allows for comebacks like SR never did. Ranked dominion is still a huge plus, til then could just go for win of the day and play d3 and GW2 beta. ****ing tired of eating that Darius ultimately and I hate the times for draft, so I run blind pick. if draft is the only way to go for ranked the times must improve. I played a blind pick last night with Sauron so definitely good players still avidly playing. But could use more I suppose. P.S. Dominion does have better builds hamai but it is much less cookie cutter than SR yet. After a few core items I think a lot of them are situational. Builds dare tankier because of all the trades.
*Checks watch, rubs time beard sized growth on face. Goes back to watching live games and theorycrafting*
Redeemed In Fire
Dominion doesn't need ranked simply because a "meta" should not be enforced on it. I play dominion because I can use whatever champion I please in whatever fashion I want. That ALL changes the moment Dominion gets ranked.

2008 Acura RL AWD w/ Tech Pkg
ProsHave owned 3 RL Models - they have all been great, especially in inclement weather! ConsNo real cons that I can think of
Smooth Ride With Nice Power! — Love the SH-AWD, car is fun to drive and very reliable - it's time for a newer model RL! The new RLX only offers 4 wheel steering, but I understand they will be making the AWD version. So maybe stay with a newer 09 or 10 model. Primary Use: Commuting to work

2008 Acura RL AWD w/ Tech Pkg
ProsTorque-steering 4wd, strong, solid, attractive, ipod interface Consheavy, only 5 gearbox speeds, manual mode slow response
Somehow, A Performer — a good, solid car, it feels very sturdy. the v6 has a little trouble in the low range, yet has ample power to chirp all 4 tires when pressed hard. of course when you do you will be lurched by the gearbox, as it shifts rather unsmoothly for such a pricey car. it feels a little heavy when cornering hard, to the point of noticeable tire squeal where less quick cars hold their own. in compensation for the lack of V8-like power, the car returns a generous 26 mpg highway, albeit on 93 octane. the car appears smooth and solid from the outside, and comes generously equipped with all the latest toys inside as well, with soft, perforated leather seats. the car may have it's shortcomings in power and identity, but it makes its own statement, and one of individuality. |
2008 Acura RL AWD w/ Tech Pkg
ProsSH-AWD!!! Technology at its best... ConsNone....Good Buy!
Wouldn't Trade It For Its Competitors! — Acura's Flagship....nuff said. Bought it new and have loved it since day one, I has a GS300 before this and I like my RL much better. I also like the fact that they are not real popular, people always ask me about it when I go places.. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Mutations in the gene encoding tripartite motif protein 32 (TRIM32) cause two seemingly diverse diseases: limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2H (LGMD2H) or sarcotubular myopathy (STM) and Bardet-Biedl syndrome type 11(BBS11). Although TRIM32 is involved in protein ubiquitination, its substrates and the molecular consequences of disease-causing mutations are poorly understood. In this paper, we show that TRIM32 is a widely expressed ubiquitin ligase that is localized to the Z-line in skeletal muscle. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we found that TRIM32 binds and ubiquitinates dysbindin, a protein implicated in the genetic aetiology of schizophrenia, augmenting its degradation. Small-interfering RNA-mediated knock-down of TRIM32 in myoblasts resulted in elevated levels of dysbindin. Importantly, the LGMD2H/STM-associated TRIM32 mutations, D487N and R394H impair ubiquitin ligase activity towards dysbindin and were mislocalized in heterologous cells. These mutants were able to self-associate and also co-immunoprecipitated with wild-type TRIM32 in transfected cells. Furthermore, the D487N mutant could bind to both dysbindin and its E2 enzyme but was defective in monoubiquitination. In contrast, the BBS11 mutant P130S did not show any biochemical differences compared with the wild-type protein. Our data identify TRIM32 as a regulator of dysbindin and demonstrate that the LGMD2H/STM mutations may impair substrate ubiquitination.

Are you serious???Submitted by WilmMan on Wed, 12/12/2007 - 8:34pm.
You have to be kidding. You are right, we all have done some things we aren't proud of, but most of us have done nothing even close to armed robbery. William James has been arrested at least 12 times, 6 of which have been for some sort of violent crime. Yeah, he's a model citizen.

Who benefits from service-learning?
Service-learning is mutually beneficial to both the participating
students and the community. Students not only gain opportunities to
practice skills, but also to test, refine and generate theory through
systematic reflection. The community benefits when students are engaged
in service activities that meet real community needs. Faculty benefit
by having an opportunity to integrate teaching, research and service.
In fact, many Clemson faculty have developed service-learning across
many areas of the curriculum, affording students who desire to be
engaged citizens and public stewards the opportunity to serve as they
learn their chosen field of study. Clemson faculty are often recognized
for their work in service-learning and civic engagement. Examples

Spring 2011 New York Fashion Week: Rachel Comey
Pregnant Rachel Comey Kicks Off The Season of the White Dress with Her Spring 2011 Collection
>> Spring 2011 may be the Spring of the white dress, judging by the shows so far. Within the first six looks at Rachel Comey, two airy white numbers — one with a built-in vest, the other a bustier and a handkerchief hem — kicked the trend off right.
Comey, who's expecting her first child in January, treated her audience — which included Steven Alan and Cathy Horyn — to a little Eastern-inspired live music (via an electric violin) and a parade of square-heeled shoes that are sure to abet the cult following that Comey's heels have already garnered. Comey's stylist Avena Gallagher explained of the Spring 2011 collection: "She's done the quirky girl thing, but this season's a bit more grown up." The look was Horyn-approved — after the show, she Tweeted: "Loved Rachel Comey's layered, pared down sundresses in prints that seemed to mix Americana and Chinese. Also the hankie hems, crisp whites."

Cities generate the vast bulk of the world's CO2 emissions, and they account for 60 percent of all water allocated for domestic human use. As urbanization levels increase, how do city leaders ensure continuing water and energy supplies – while also promoting environmental sustainability? If you ask me, a good place to start is by making sure local utilities, government agencies, businesses and citizens alike are looking at the same information when making decisions about collective and individual energy use.
Fifteen years ago Peterborough was made one of four UK Environment Cities by The Department of the Environment and is set to become one of a cluster of IBM "Smarter Cities" being developed around the world. Peterborough's growth targets to transform the city are ambitious and connecting the city systems is central to increasing quality of life for the proposed extra 20,000 jobs, 25,000 homes and 40,000 people that will be in the city by 2021 compared to 2001.
A new collaboration between the Peterborough City Council, Opportunity Peterobrough, Royal Haskoning, Green Ventures and IBM will help the city visualize energy, water, transport and waste systems to produce a real-time, integrated view of the city's environmental performance. And citizens will be able to log on to the web portal to make more ecologically-minded decisions about their resource usage.

There are definitely lots of details like that to take into consideration. That may be a great point to bring up. I supply the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing can be working in trustworthy good faith. I don?t know if greatest practices have emerged around things like that, but I am positive that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.

It is certainly surprisingly open-handed of people like you to give freely all that many of us could possibly have distributed as an e book to help with making some bucks for their own end, specifically considering that you might have done it in the event you desired. The points in addition acted to be the fantastic way to be aware that the rest have the identical dreams just like my own to learn lots more with regards to this condition. I'm certain there are several more pleasurable sessions in the future for people who look into your website.

There is a lot of data all around us. We are unable to collate it, massage it and interpret it for several reasons. Primary among these reasons is the fact that there is no commonly accepted structure around the data. If there is a structure, then it is not a standard.

I agree with you that "a good place to start is by making sure local utilities, government agencies, businesses and citizens alike are looking at the same information when making decisions about collective and individual energy use."
As we build city's I think we need a very concise image of where we are at the moment, what has happened in the area in the past, and how we can best plan for the future. Getting it right the first time is so much easier than, deciding to go a different route later on.

Hi Vineeta
I think that's a key point and in the right direction. I recently attended at water conservation talk which had speakers from NYC water dept as well as other thought leaders in this field. And the lady who represented the govt, mentioned that putting data online has definitely changed consumer behavior for the better. I think we don't realize just how much water goes into our every day living. the statistics presented on the IBM smart planet website are astounding to say the least..great site btw.

Best service. Everything I have ordered has been shipped very fast. Good customer service.
DaWolf Posted:
Everything needed for a soft rebuild. High quality gaskets and seals. No issues 800 miles later.
dem023 Posted:
I give this kit 4 stars only because it includes every gasket and seal for more than 1 Keihin carburetor. Genuine James is quality and although it would have been nice to have a kit just for the carb I have to save money I am still satisfied.
neonsamurai Posted:
bought my 96 FXDL from a guy who had let the bike sit in a shed for the better part of 10 years, my carb needed a complete cleaning as it was gunked beyond functionality. quality is excellent. I had trouble with a single silicone gasket that was slightly distorted, however after finessing it into the slot, it has performed perfectly. I have experience no leaks riding the bike as daily transportation... I intend to rebuild the carb again before spring riding season, and will not hesitate to buy another kit if I need to replace any of the parts after I take the carb apart. Understand that while I give it 4 stars, to earn 5 stars with me requires something to exceed expectation... the James kit was recommended to me by a local harley dealer mechanic, and I am quite pleased with the kit. I would happily recommend it to anyone needing to rebuild their carb. J&P Staff has never failed to please me.

This kit covers more than one carb. There are no chances taken to be sure that you have everything for your stock Harley carb. It worked great for me.
cowboybob56 Posted:
The package had more o-rings than necessary for my application, but with out any instructions.

High quality parts. Spend the money and get this one vs the cheap one that falls apart as you attempt to install it.

cmiamt_vms Posted:
The first time I took a wrench to my Harley, I discovered "Genuine James Gaskets" are the best in making any overhaul complete. This kit provided all the gaskets and o-rings I needed to get me back riding my bike!
mwelych Posted:
Worked just fine... Carb is dialed in perfectly...
dgbingham Posted:
Lots of parts but no instructions, not even a bill of materials so I will probably not use some parts that I should since I don't know what they are for.
ragenhmltn Posted:
I'll never use any other gaskets, these are a perfect fit and very high quality!
ragenhmltn Posted:
Quality parts, I will be using James kits for any rebuild I do from now on.
ar15guy Posted:
Excellent gasket kit for the Harley CV carb!
arodri Posted:
Excellent kit. All the things that you need to renew a CV carburetor.
jmgegg Posted:
This kit came with all the necessary parts to complete the carb rebuild. Good quality product. I recommend this kit.
spiteboy Posted:
If you have a habit of cracking open the carb for re-jet, needle change, etc., I would highly recommend purchasing this kit. Everything you need to replace is here if needed.

The Porsche Boxster will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Audi TT.
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi TT as you will with the Porsche Boxster, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Audi TT is clearly a better financial choice over the Porsche Boxster.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Audi TT carries a much lower Destination Charge than the Porsche Boxster.
Since the Audi TT is much wider than the Porsche Boxster, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
The Audi TT is slightly shorter than the Porsche Boxster, which may make it easier to park.
With its lower torque, the Audi TT doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Porsche Boxster.
The Audi TT has about the same turning radius as the Porsche Boxster, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi TT is significantly less powerful than the Porsche Boxster. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Audi TT and the Porsche Boxster.
The Audi TT has less cargo capacity than the Porsche Boxster, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
The Audi TT comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the Porsche Boxster.

Williams happy to stay if needed
Striker Brett Williams says he'd be happy to stay on for the rest of the season if the Millers required his services.
Williams made just one sub appearance in the game at Swindon in early September before cutting his loan spell short, but he returned from Reading two weeks ago after treatment on a leg injury, starting his first game in the weekend win over Bradford City.
And the former Eastleigh man, here until January, says he's grateful for the opportunity.
"I spoke to Brian McDermott at Reading on Monday and it was nice to hear from him. I'm hoping Reading will want me back as I want to play as high as I can," he told the Star.
"But I'm very grateful Rotherham have given me the chance to get games and it will help me in the long run. If I ended up staying here until the end of the season, I would be happy with that."

Ohh snap i hate Corki on akali lol
Why do you hate Corki on Akali? I love Corki, he is a squishy insta dead, his Valyrie doesn't take you out of ult range and you can skip right through the trail of damage. I don't rely on the stealth from the smoke to kill. I'm in and out I burst my damage and gtfo, using the smoke only as I juke away. Tips to counter Akali: stuns and slows, procin'g items like Frozen Mallet and Rylai are praticularly bad. She relies on mobility quite a bit. Also, keep moving, 2 of her skills are proximity spells so if you can avoid letting her stealth out or her scythe damage you have a better chance. Best bet though, have a battle buddy
The gentleman Cho'gath thinks Akali tastes wonderful. Nom Nom Nom. Stupid akali that won't leave their bubble when I drop a rupture into it are even better.
Multiple cc's would basically own Akali....once u get her down to like 1/6 health or so after 1 or 2 cc (she's so squishy), she can't do anything in teamfights except clean up. Also, any AoE would own her b/c she relies on her mobility and stealth (rupture + soil comes to mind, as does garen's judgment)
Scraping Spear
You can cleanse out of Warwicks ult, she probably did that, then went invis.
Junior Member
I've been getting into Gragas lately. If you use your ult, you push her outside her mist and just pick her off. "No matter what happens, Fox. It's okay. Do a Barrel Roll!"
CS RaiL
Deal with Akali the same way you deal with melee stealth champions...hmm doesn't Evevylnn come to mind? WHOAAA IF I THINK SHE'S EVE, I WILL BE ABLE TO BEAT HER!
rammus' taunt... counters me every time and i get team raped.
Try to keep her out of her Shroud, since it a) Makes her Invisible (obvious) b) Gives her a nice portion of armor c) Reduces Movement and Attackspeed of enemy heroes who step into it Once it's down it has a pretty long cooldown (20 seconds).

Due to some medical results and the recommendations made to me because of them, I've been eating a plant-based diet for a month now (that's right – no meat or animal products, at least as far as I could reasonably tell).
It's actually been easier than I thought it would be. The first two weeks were the hardest. At this point, I'm not really bothered by it at all, though cheese still sounds really good. I really wonder if I'll feel the same way in a few months.

Since I began writing this letter some 15 years ago, I've always done an annual forecast letter, generally in the first week of January. That letter is typically the most-read issue of the year, and I spend more time thinking about it than any other letter. I typically take the last week of the year off from writing just to concentrate on my research, and I often begin to compile my reading material the first week in December, which the calendar tells us is now. Helping me this year will be my associate Worth Wray and a few members of the Mauldin Economics team, and of course my many friends and readers.
Today, in the spirit of the wisdom the Cheshire Cat offers Alice, I would ask how you can know where you are now and where you're going if you don't know where you came from. You and I have lived through the first nearly 14 years of this topsy-turvy new century together, and many of its details as well as its overarching themes deserve to be recalled. But rather than offering you a dry, plodding recap of recent history, I've come up with a different and hopefully more fun way to revisit the past decade and a half.
As I sit down to write each week, I generally turn to the events and themes that most impressed me that week. Reading from a wide variety of sources, I sometimes see patterns that I feel are worthy to call to your attention. I've come to see my role in your life as a filter, a connoisseur of ideas and information. I don't sit down to write with the thought that I need to be particularly brilliant or insightful (which is almighty difficult even for brilliant and insightful people) but that I need to find brilliant and insightful, and hopefully useful, ideas among the hundreds of sources that surface each week. And if I can bring to your attention a pattern, an idea, or thought stream that that helps your investment process, then I've done my job.
As my Dad would say, "The whole situation seems about a half-bubble off dead center" (dating myself to a time when people used levels that actually had bubbles in them). But I suppose that now, were he with us, he might use the expression to refer to the little bubbles that are effervescing everywhere. In a Bizarro French version of very bubbly champagne (I can hardly believe I'm reporting this), the yield on French short-term bonds went negative this week. If you bought a short-term French bill, you actually paid for the privilege of holding it. I can almost understand German and Swiss yields being negative, but French?
In speeches and presentations since the end of last year, I have been saying that I think the biggest macro problem in the world today is China. China has run up a huge debt, and the payments are coming due. They seem to be proactive, but will it be enough? How much risk do they pose for the global system?
For the past two weeks we've been exploring the problems of state pension funds. This week we will conclude our look at pension plans for the nonce with a 30,000-foot overview of the states and then take a deeper dive into one city: mine. This will give you at least one version of how to do your own homework about your own hometown. But fair warning, depending on your locale, you may need medical help or significant quantities of an adult beverage after you finish your research. Then again you may be pleasantly surprised and congratulate yourself on choosing a particularly adept hometown. And be on notice that, no matter what your personal conclusion and how well-grounded your analysis is, there will be people who live in your neighborhood who think you are utterly full of, well, let's just say "nonsensical matter" and leave it at that. This is a family letter.
Way back in the Paleozoic era (as far as markets are concerned), circa 2003, I wrote in this letter and in Bull's Eye Investing that the pension liabilities of state and municipal plans would soon top $2 trillion. This was of course far above the stated actuarial claims at the time, and I was seen as such a pessimist. Everyone knew that the market would compound at 9%, so any problems were just a rounding error.
The investment media seems obsessed with the question of whether the Fed will taper. The real question should be not about "tapering" but about credibility. What happens when fundamentals become the narrative as opposed to what the central bank is doing? What happens if the Federal Reserve throws a liquidity party and nobody comes? Today we look at some of the fundamentals. The market is in fact overvalued, but that doesn't mean it can't become more overvalued. Is this August 1987 or August 1999?
What is it about humans that we fail to see a crisis in advance, yet when we look back, its likelihood or inevitability so often seems blindingly obvious? Rather than a flaw, our under-reliance on foresight as opposed to hindsight is perhaps a necessary evolutionary design feature that has allowed us to make rapid progress as a species (especially over the last few thousand years), but in a complex modern society it can really create quite the crisis for individuals. This week we resume our musings about Cyprus, to see what that tiny island can teach us about our own personal need to engage in ongoing critical analysis of our lives and investment portfolios. Cyprus is not Greece or France or Spain or Japan or the US or … (pick a country). I get that. No two situations are the same, but there may be a rhyme or two here that is instructive.
I find myself finishing this letter on an island off the coast of Croatia, on the backside of the middle of nowhere. But it is the perfect place to contemplate my recent experience in Cyprus. Through the efforts of your fellow readers, I was able to meet a wide variety of people and have some in-depth discussions on the crisis that has enveloped Cyprus. And while the details are different, of course, there is a pattern to the weave, so to speak, that calls to mind various aspects of the crisis that began in 2008. And perhaps that pattern will give us a glimpse of what else may be coming our way.
"Concern about politics and the processes of international co-operation is warranted but the best one can hope for from politics in any country is that it will drive rational responses to serious problems. If there is no consensus on the causes or solutions to serious problems, it is unreasonable to ask a political system to implement forceful actions in a sustained way. Unfortunately, this is to an important extent the case with respect to current economic difficulties, especially in the industrial world.
"While there is agreement on the need for more growth and job creation in the short run and on containing the accumulation of debt in the long run, there are deep differences of opinion both within and across countries as to how this can be accomplished. What might be labelled the 'orthodox view' attributes much of our current difficulty to excess borrowing by the public and private sectors, emphasises the need to contain debt, puts a premium on credibly austere fiscal and monetary policies, and stresses the need for long-term structural measures rather than short-term demand-oriented steps to promote growth.
The US employment numbers came out this morning, and they were disappointing. But disappointing does not begin to describe the situation I read about today in Europe. I have just finished up with my conference in Carlsbad, California and am getting back to the room late. I have to get up in a few hours (4 AM is rather obscene) to fly to Tulsa to see my daughter graduate from university, but wanted to drop you a note as I normally do on Friday night. But given the time and the need for some sleep, tonight I will draw your attention to the writing of a few friends and some of the more interesting charts I saw at the conference. It will be a shorter letter than usual, but we will uncover a few real nuggets; and next week I will be back to a more normal writing schedule.

Love their wings, you just can't believe how good they are until you try them yourself....great choice for best wings!
Best Chicken Wings Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach 2013 - Kapow! Noodle Bar
Chicken wings. They're symbolic of all things American: football, daytime drinking, the great city of Buffalo, fried food. While we love ourselves a good ol' piece of 'Murica, times are a-changin'. Wings are no longer limited to mild, medium, hot, or atomic. Kapow! Noodle Bar has ushered in a new dawn of chicken wings with Vietnamese-style treats. Rather than being smothered in fatty sauce, these little beauts take a swim in a sweet, spicy, Asian-inspired marinade and then are drained and fried dry. They're served piping hot, sprinkled with cilantro and a drizzle of the sauce, reduced to a syrup.

ABC News' Rick Klein Reports: One of the nation's most politically influential unions is endorsing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for president, in another dose of good news for the Democratic presidential frontrunner.
The American Federation of Teachers, which boasts 1.4 million members, plans to announce the endorsement at 1 pm ET Wednesday, at a press conference on Capitol Hill.
"Our members have told us that they want a leader they can trust to strengthen public education, increase access to healthcare, promote commonsense economic priorities and secure America's place in the world," AFT President Edward J. McElroy said in a press release announcing the endorsement. "Hillary Clinton is that leader."
All of the major Democratic candidates were seeking the AFT's endorsement. All of the Democrats — particularly former senator John Edwards, D-N.C. — have aggressively sought labor endorsements in the Democratic primary.
Another politically active union, the Service Employees International Union, announced this month that none of the candidates has enough support among its members to secure an endorsement at this time.
In endorsing Clinton, the AFT said it would enlist its members in a "political mobilization program" on behalf of the union's chosen candidate.

How to Teach Your Kids to Love Winter Sports
The weather outside is frightful …
When winter arrives, we all start thinking about skiiing, ice hockey and, yes, the Winter Olympic games. You might be asking yourself how to get your kids involved in the exciting world of winter sports. Unlike warm-weather sports that children are exposed to regularly in gym class, winter sports can feel more difficult to learn. Here are a few ways to introduce your child to the world of winter sports when the weather turns cold:

Travel Notes: Tipping at hotels not uniform
March 24, 2013 12:00 AMIf you never tip a concierge when staying at a hotel, you are not alone. According to an online survey of nearly 700 travelers, 55 percent said they never tip a concierge while 23 percent said they tip $2 to $4 a day.
The survey by hotel booking site Tingo found that housekeepers get better treatment. Among hotel guests, 40 percent said they tip $2 to $4 a day and 15 percent tip $5 to $7. Only 19 percent said they never tip a housekeeper.
"I always tip hotel maids, and you should do it as soon as you check in, and thereafter each day," said George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog, a low-airfare alert and air travel advice website. "You'll be surprised how much extra attention you get."
The tips might cut down on the number of times housekeepers barge into your room without knocking. According to the study, 33 percent of travelers said housekeepers have walked in on them while they were either sleeping, getting out of the shower, getting dressed or using the toilet.
Budget cuts hurting hotels
The automatic federal budget cuts brought about by so-called sequestration are already inflicting pain on the hotel industry.
Federal agencies responded to the cuts by slashing nonessential travel by federal employees, who represent at least 30 percent of business for some hotels.
Travel industry leaders worry that further federal cuts will continue to hurt an industry that supports about 14 million workers.
"We are seeing evidence of cancellations of federal agency travel all across the board," said Erik Hansen, director of domestic policy for the U.S. Travel Association, the trade group for the nation's travel industry.
N.J. tourism sets record
According to Bloomberg News, New Jersey had a record $40 billion of tourism in 2012, even with Hurricane Sandy, Gov. Chris Christie said.
Visitor spending, capital investment and general government support of tourism surpassed the previous record of $39.5 billion reached in 2007, a 2.6 percent increase over 2011, according to Christie's office.
Most damaged boardwalks will be rebuilt and open by Memorial Day, Mr. Christie told reporters Wednesday in Atlantic City.

Henry Glover's Cause Of Death Remains "Undetermined"
Orleans Parish Coroner Frank Minyard says he doesn't have any new evidence that would make him change the death certificate to "homicide" for a man who was shot and burned by New Orleans police after Hurricane Katrina. That means the cause of Henry Glover's death remains officially undetermined.
Glover's aunt, Rebecca Glover, hopes coroner-elect Jeffery Rouse will re-open the case when his term begins in May.
The officer who shot Glover has been acquitted on federal charges. Other officers were accused of covering up the killing. One was convicted; his case is under appeal.
Minyard says there's no new scientific evidence and the U.S. Attorney's Office and FBI declined to give his office additional evidence to re-evaluate the case. Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell declined to get involved.
