Canada: student protests in Quebec
Student protests in Quebec. Environmental activists launch a campaign against marine pollution in Cannes. And web users pay tribute to singer songwriter Robin Gibb, who died on Sunday.
Canada: student protests in Quebec
Windows smashed in, burning barricades along the streets, and tense confrontations between police and protesters. Dozens of people were arrested late Sunday night and into the early hours of Monday morning in Montreal, Canada when a night time demonstration descended into riots.
Over the past few months, students in Quebec have been protesting against the provincial government's plans to raise tuition fees. The authorities are trying to quell this unprecedented protest movement dubbed the "maple spring" and on Friday passed emergency legislation designed to curtail the freedom to protest. But instead of pacifying students, the controversial measures have only served to fuel their anger.
Online campaigning against this emergency law is well underway. Student groups have launched an e-petition demanding the law be annulled and say it has gathered over 150,000 signatures in a very short time.
Key figures in the movement are trying to coordinate actions, although it is now forbidden, and punishable by a fine, to launch online appeals for demonstrations. "Classe" for example, a coalition of unions and groups, has removed a calendar of upcoming protests from its website.
But other initiatives are emerging on social media platforms. One anonymous service is providing information on future demonstrations, but to avoid being caught out by the emergency law, is advising web users not to attend… Others have taken to Twitter to spread the word without actually saying the words. This micro blogger says that he will not be attending the next big rally scheduled to take place around Montreal's Place des Festivals on Tuesday.
Online campaign against marine pollution in Cannes
With the 65th Cannes Film festival in full swing, and the stars, glitz and glamour making headlines across the world, the "Méditerrannée en danger" group has decided to draw attention to the problem of marine pollution just a few hundred meters away from the Croisette were the festival is held. This awareness campaign is being conducted via the web.
The environmental organization has produced a series of short video clips, under the theme, "les dessous de Cannes" meaning "underneath Cannes", which are available to view on their website and also on YouTube. The videos are less than two minutes long and were filmed in the sea waters, around the hotels where festival goers are staying: theatrical productions, which show the huge quantities of waste strewn across the seabed around the Croisette. The first film "Sous les marches du festival" immerses web users in a sea of bottles to help bring home the extent of the problem.
Another clip produced for the campaign "Cannes a bout de souffle" focusses on the cigarette butts and empty packets that have invaded the shores of Cannes over the years. The images are quite simply shocking, and the creators of the video have chosen a somewhat ironic backing track: Serge Gainsbourg's "Dieu est un fumeur de havanes", meaning "God smokes Havana cigars".
It is a particularly novel initiative and hopes to have an immediate impact on residents of Cannes but also, and more importantly, on festival goers. During the two week film festival, the council has to contend with an additional 1200 tons of waste, some of which will unfortunately end up at the bottom of the sea.
Now trending on social networks
Messages are flooding onto social networks from all over the world, paying tribute to Robin Gibb who died in London on Sunday night, at the age of 62. The death of one of the founding members and singers of legendary group, The Bee Gees has sparked a wave of emotion on the web, with web users, both well-known and anonymous, hailing Robin Gibb as a musical genius, saying his work will go down in history.
Engineer plans to build real-life "Starship Enterprise"
In the famous science fiction television series "Star Trek" we followed the crew's adventures aboard the "Starship Enterprise", the space ship was of course just part of the set, but one anonymous web user, who calls himself Dan and claims to be an engineer, is convinced that with modern day technology he can build a real-life "Starship Enterprise". He has posted the blueprints online : it's 960 meters long, can hold 1 000 people and would need a nuclear reactor to give it enough power to reach Mars in less than 3 months … the cost is estimated at 1 trillion dollars, so now he just needs to see what NASA thinks…
Video of the day

Kylie Williamson is Milton's Star Student
Thursday, January 24, 2013
MILTON — Kylie Williamson may be the busiest 5th grader in Milton Elementary. Kylie is an athlete. She plays basketball,volleyball, baseball, gymnastics,. She dances, she is part of the school jump rope club and she swims for fun! In order to participate in the jump rope club, Kylie goes to school an hour and a half early. This June she will participate in an inter school jump rope competition for the second year .Last years competition yielded many metals, a feat that she hopes to reproduce this year. Kylie also scored the first basket at a recent basketball game. Many of her other athletic endeavors take place through the Milton Recreation Department. Kylie is a one person advertising agency for the Rec. Department, enthusiastically explaining the fun to be had during summer camp at Camp 3 Ponds. (Can grown ups go to camp?)
In addition to being named a star student Kylie also was given the honor of reading the morning announcements over the intercom at school. She is also a great student. She loves math, science, social studies, and literacy intervention (where she is able to read books) . Kylie is currently reading "Chicken Soup of the Teenage Soul" by Jack Canfield, which she likes because of the true stories of kids-many of whom have serious health issues- who make their lives richer by helping others.
When asked how Kylie would like to be described by her friends she noted that she hopes she is considered "..nice, happy all the time, fun, pretty , athletic, creative and — best of all — outlandish!" and she is!
The Milton Free Library will have one star card student a month highlighted. This student will offer a theme for the library's entryway display and let the community know a little about themselves so that the community can learn a little more about the great kids at Milton Elementary.

Hawks, Noble pinned down by snowstorm; Class A meet moved to Sanford on Feb. 16
Saturday, February 9, 2013
DOVER — The Marshwood and Noble high school wrestling teams, fresh off a 1-2 finish at the Western Maine Class A championship, feel very good heading into the Class A championship.
"We did well," said veteran Noble coach Kip DeVoll. "We could have done a little bit better. We stayed with Marshwood at the beginning, but their depth overpowered us at the end."
Bill Gagner (113) and Jacob Guimond (195) won regional titles for the Knights, which received a pleasant supportive jolt from its freshman and sophomore wrestlers.
"It was their first regional, that's the biggest thing, and they had some big wins," DeVoll said. "That was the biggest surprise for us. That's going to help them and us down the road."
That young group picked up two seconds with Otto Keisker (145) and Robert Worell (220), and three fourths from Devin Bourque (126), Zac Schluntz (170) and Jacob Zenga (285).
While Marshwood and Noble will have the largest contingent next Saturday with 12 wrestlers each, Eastern Maine champ Skowhegan is right behind them with 11, and Massabesic, which was third at the Western regional, will send eight.
Marshwood and Noble saw Skowhegan at the Noble Invitational at the end of December. Marshwood won that meet with 244.5. Noble (201) was second, followed by Massabesic (178) and Skowhegan (174.5).
"It's good for us, too, because we're battling some colds," Rix added.

Seymour Wednesday July 17 Special
Seymour Special – When the Badger Stock Car Tour rolls into the Seymour Speedway on Wednesday night, July 17. it will be the first part of a three day summer swing through Northeastern Wisconsin.
This will also be the first race of the tour after the opening event was postponed at the 141 Speedway last month.
The Seymour portion will feature the IMCA style Stock Cars and will run a full program topped by a 30 lap feature on the 1/3 mile banked clay oval. The Seymour Speedway is a favorite for the division and the weekly events feature three and four wide racing on a steady basis. The Wednesday special should be no exception.
The race will kick off a three day swing with the Tour going to the ThunderHill Speedway in Sturgeon Bay on Thursday night July 18 and end up at the Speedzone in Oshkosh on Friday night, July 19, where the Stock Cars will be joined by big brother Badger Mod Tour. There will be a special Swing point fund for drivers making all three dates, so Seymour should boast a large field of cars.
The IMCA Sport Mod division will also be on the program at Seymour. It will not be sanctioned but the full rules package will be enforced. There will be no claim.
They will run a full program with a 20 lap main which will pay the winner $350.00 with $75.00 to start. The races will be draw/redraw format.
Being a Wednesday night, the pit gates will open at 4:30 with the entry cut off at 6:00. All pit passes will be $25.00.
The grandstand will open at 5 PM with racing starting at 7 PM…SHARP.
Regular admission prices will be in effect at $10.00 for adults, Students 13 to 18 and Seniors 55 and over $8.00 with kids 12 and under FREE with an adult.
It has been several years since the Seymour Speedway has run a mid week race and this will be one you will not want to miss.
The track is located at the Outagamie County Fairgrounds through downtown on Main Street (Hwy 55) in Seymour, WI. You can watch the web site at seymoursuperspeedway.com. The track information line is 920-833-7726.

About ECM
June 30 , 2011
Lockenhaus CD Box Set
In time for the 30th anniversary of the unique chamber music festival co-founded by violinist Gidon Kremer and Pastor Josef Herowitsch in the Austrian village of Lockenhaus, ECM issues a
5-CD box
of recordings.
As he explains in an interview in the 60-page booklet included in the set, Kremer originally sought out Lockenhaus in 1981 as a home with open doors, wanting an artistic centre of a kind hed not had since leaving Moscow, a place where friends could congregate to share musical discoveries. Very different from the more conventional classical festivals, Lockenhaus, quickly became a gathering point for musicians, young musicians primarily, eager to pool their energies, knowledge and skills.
Early in Lockenhauss history, producer Manfred Eicher began working with Gidon Kremer, recording the music of the festivals, and an Edition Lockenhaus was launched under the larger umbrella of ECM New Series. Out of print now for some years, the first Lockenhaus recordings have been eagerly sought out by collectors.
The box reprises recordings from 1981, 1982, 1984, 1985, and 1986 previously issued as Edition Lockenhaus Volumes 1/2 and 4/5 (ECM 1304/05 and 1347/48). These recordings are fascinating for many reasons and not least for their opportunity to hear some of the finest chamber musicians of our era, alongside Gidon Kremer, early in their respective careers. The long list includes musicians now strongly associated with ECM: Kim Kashkashian, Thomas Zehetmair, Thomas Demenga, Robert Levin, Heinz Holliger and more.
The box set edition opens with a CD of previously unreleased recordings from 2001 and 2008 with Sir Simon Rattle and Roman Kofman conducting Kremerata Baltica in revelatory performances of Richard Strausss Metamorphosen and Olivier Messiaens Trois petites Liturgies de la Présence Divine. The committed interpretations convey the spirit of Lockenhaus: Kremer himself has described Rattles conducting of Richard Strausss music as unforgettable..
Discs two through five focus on music of César Franck, André Caplet, Francis Poulenc, Leos Janácek, Igor Stravinsky, Dmitri Shostakovich and Erwin Schulhoff. Original liner notes and a new essay discuss the featured compositions in detail.
This years Lockenhaus festival runs from July 7-17. For full details visit the web site at:

Prosecution challenges 2-week jail sentence in child porn case: Will ask for sentence review
Saturday, March 30, 2013
DOVER — Against the recommendation of the state, an East Rochester man will spend just two weeks in jail after pleading guilty to nine counts of possession of child pornography.
These conditions include remaining on good behavior, continuing counseling, having no unsupervised contact with minors, and having no Internet or computer use unless allowed by a probation officer. Dufoe was ordered to obey these conditions while on probation for the next 20 years; otherwise, the suspended prison sentences could be imposed by the prosecution.
"I understand what the court took into consideration (on Friday) but I respectfully disagree," said Feliciano.

Faulty forecast puts Yamhill Valley winegrowers under pressure
Mother Nature brings unexpected storms, ending a leisurely harvest schedule
Sep 27, 2013 | 1 Comment
By Karl Klooster
Of the News-Register
Mother Nature unexpectedly turned the area wine industry on its head the end of this week.
Last week it looked as if northwestern Oregon vineyards would be harvested in a fairly calm and collected manner over the succeeding three weeks or so. Medium range weather forecasts of intermittent showers mixed with clearing made winegrowers feel confident they could wait and pick during dry periods, ensuring optimum flavor profiles.
But new weather forcasts on Friday changed all that for many area wineries. A Pacific system that was not foreseen, much less forecast the previous week, hit the Oregon coast and surged inland.
Reporting Friday, Dr. Gregory Jones, Southern Oregon University's noted climatological expert, said, "What a difference 3-4 days have made in the model guidance. This was not expected at all!"
He went on to explain that the approaching wet and windy weather may not have happened were it not for the remnants of Typhoon Pabuk in the western Pacific.
Between Sept 24 and Sept. 26, Pabuk battered the eastern coastlines of Japan, Taiwan and the northern Philippines with torrential rain and winds up to 105 miles per hour.
"The entrainment of tropical moisture into the jet stream flow in the last couple of days has been dramatic," Jones explained.
"They are even calling this an unprecedented atmospheric river of moisture for any time of year, let alone September. This is already being referred to as a 30-year event."
Winegrowers across the Yamhill Valley scrambled to get in as much fruit as possible picked on Friday, regardless of sugar and acid levels. Smaller growers were particularly hard pressed to get full crews on such short notice.
Owner/winemaker David Polite was happy to see a full crew mid-morning Friday at Carlton Hill Vineyard west of Carlton, but a shortage of large bins and delays with trucks created problems that forced him to leave a few acres of pinot noir grapes on the vines. "We were lucky to get as much picked as we did today," said Polite. "We have clean, ripe fruit ... it should be an excellent vintage."
For many, it appears that final picking will have to wait until the next window of opportunity, which is predicted to arrive no sooner than Thursday, Oct. 3. In the meantime, growers are keeping their fingers crossed that the grapes still hanging won't contract black rot or, if rain persists long enough and hard enough, splitting skins.
At NW Wine Company, Laurent Montalieu said, "We have all been through this sort of thing before and come through just fine. We have brix readings from 21 to 25, and some of the lower levels may make the best wines."
He wanted to remind everyone that this is just the end of September, and that picking began three weeks early. "Our vineyards are about 45 percent picked as this point, and early October is often when we begin harvest."
Positive input from such a veteran of Oregon's annual cool climate challenge puts the weekend's weather surprise into the longer-term perspective, and most Oregon wine industry observers expect that 2013 will turn out to be an outstanding vintage.

How to Select
How to select Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting fixtures, with their various types and specifications, are designed to create perfect illumination for your home and outdoor landscaping. The guidelines listed below will help you select the most suitable options for your home.
To start the process of selecting an outdoor lighting fixture properly you need to specify the purpose and location of such device. There are tons of options available today, starting with hanging lamps or wall packs and ending with traditional post mount lights, each offering different features. Develop a plan where you will specify the location of each light and then select its type depending on that particular location. This will help you save time and money once you start shopping.
The types of outdoor lighting can be divided into following categories: security, safety, task and decoration.
Security outdoor lighting usually consists of few lights that are directed towards certain areas of the house or property. Such lighting helps illuminate the areas that are not protected or represent an interest to intruders and uninvited people.
Safety outdoor lighting is different from the first type despite the fact that safety is related to security. Safety lighting is designed to provide safe passages to the house and through the property, especially when it has a large area. Such objects as pools, steps, bridges, water locations and simply tripping places should be illuminated during the night.
Task lighting fixtures provide proper illumination for outdoor locations where people gather often. Task lamps are used for patios, decks, sport courts, stairs, gazebos and other areas. If you want to be able to adjust the light beam or the fixture itself, task lamps are the best fixtures to provide you with such possibility.
Design lighting is all about beauty and style. This type of lighting knows no limitations and depends on your imagination only.
When you have specified the type and location of your future outdoor lighting, you need to calculate the operation cost of all the fixtures and set the budget accordingly. This may be a bit complicated step to complete, but it is absolutely necessary if you want to spend less energy and money for the outdoor illumination. Calculate the wattage of each fixture and replace the conventional light bulbs with LED ones where possible. In addition to that, equip your system with automatic timers that will ensure the proper operation of all of the outdoor fixtures.

There's this cool Linux game that I like to play called, "Guess How Long Until Michael Gives Up On Linux Steam Port?"
Phoronix: Dear Esther: A Source Engine Game On Linux
You may have heard a few days ago that Dear Esther, a game built upon Valve's Source Engine, would be ported to Linux and released in the coming months. Well, here's more details about that Source-based game is getting to Linux...
There's this cool Linux game that I like to play called, "Guess How Long Until Michael Gives Up On Linux Steam Port?"
Michael, if you really believe to your words about Steam and its Linux client please explain to everyone the reason and be sure to include all details! Otherwise just say "Hey folks, I need something to write about..you know how journalism is.."
they still work on steam for linux.
and this "wrapper" technique is only to support ALL steam games in the linux clind.
its like a build in wine.
How I missed one of these! This time it's for real, I just know it!!
Sounds like Winelib?
To be fair to Michael, he made no mention of Steam here. And he has not even mentioned it at all for the past six months.
As for Postal III, well, RWS has been having a rough time of it. Both Akella and Valve have been giving them some headaches.
We are still in their thoughts, as was demonstrated by the first rate treatment they gave us with the Postal Desura releases (including updated Linux binaries and some new support work), so hopefully something can be done in the future.
But as I said, they are having a rough time of it at the moment.
Last edited by Hamish Wilson; 03-20-2012 at 05:17 PM.
Probably a port to Nacl would be better (and a lot faster) than an "wine wrapper" ?
see postal hasnt even been ported and may never...
at least nacl games get ported really fast.
It was only a joke. If it were me, I'd have stopped bringing it up long ago, hoping people might forget I'd said anything about it. I actually don't know one way or another whether or not they are working on or will release it, but he keeps on going even after all of this time. I guess in a way you have to admire his courage...or ability to get people to tell him off the record information...depending on how things turn out.

A voucher by any other name
Saturday, February 9, 2013
Starting next September, New Hampshire's new voucher program would provide scholarships worth an average of $2,500 per year to students going to private and religious schools and up to $625 for home schooling costs. Businesses could fund these scholarships in lieu of paying their state taxes. The State would offset the lost business taxes by reducing state funding to school districts.
Some argue that, on principle, a Legislature should not reverse a previous Legislature's work and that we should not consider repeal before we have the data on how well the program works.
To the argument that we should not shut the voucher program down now, before it has had a chance to work, I would say that waiting to shut it down would be even worse. If the program started operating, some number of families would be taking their children out of the public schools and sending them to alternative schools. The number could be 100, 1,000 or thousands. Whatever the number was, would shutting the program down after these children were depending on it be a better option?
The data will not be there. But we do know that the voucher program will hurt public education while providing no accountability for the millions of dollars spent.

Big Mac, fries and a Mercedes
Thursday, April 18, 2013
In recent weeks, auto dealers have been touring the state and writing commentaries to newspapers promoting SB 126, much-needed amendments to the state's Dealers Bill of Rights.
But when we met with local dealers — people we have long known — such as Ron Poulin and Paul Holloway, we began to see the need for SB 126.
The long and short of this is that dealers are forced to spend hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of dollars for unneeded construction and equipment.
Gage claims, however, that SB 126 will not mean a savings for shoppers. The advertisements placed by manufacturers say just the opposite, that SB 126 would cost consumers more. All we can infer from that accusation is local dealers will greedily take the money saved by SB 126 and run.

A Conversation with Isabel Wilkerson
1. What is the meaning and origin of the title, The Warmth of Other Suns?
I was reading the footnotes of the Richard Wright's autobiography, Black Boy, one day, and discovered a particularly moving passage on page 496, a passage which is a story unto itself.
When Wright wrote his 1945 autobiography, the Book of the Month Club insisted that he cut the second half (about the North) and change the title from American Hunger to Black Boy. He wanted the book published so he conceded to their request. But that left the book without the ending it needed so he hastily came up with an alternative passage. Because he was forced to write quickly and succinctly, the passage summarized in a way he had not achieved in the text itself the longing and loss of anyone who has ever left the only place they ever knew for what they hoped would be a better life on alien soil.
As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to excavate it. I felt it was poetry, beautifully rendered but invisible, buried as it was in the footnotes. When it came time to submit the manuscript, I pulled out the most moving phrase for the title, The Warmth of Other Suns. It was a working title at best because my editor and I were still not convinced it was the one. At a meeting of executives at Random House, however, the question came up again and someone remembered this same passage and settled on the very phrase, I had originally identified. My mother, who migrated from Georgia to Washington, D.C. during the Great Migration, and knew what it meant to leave your own sun for another, believed from the moment she heard it that it should be the title.
The question of the title set me on a course of trying to understand just what the sun means to us, what it gives us and what it takes to defy the gravitational pull of your own solar system and take off for another far away. Richard Wright consciously chose to call the cold North the place of warmer suns. It showed how determined he and millions of others like him were to leave a place that had shunned them for a place they hoped would sustain them, the need of any human being and the gift of any sun.
2. How widespread is the Great Migration? How many people experienced it? Can most African-American families in cities like Chicago, LA and New York trace their origins back to similar places in the South?
Some six million black Americans left the South for all points North and West during the decades of the Great Migration, which lasted, statistically, from World War I to the 1970's. At the start of the twentieth century, ninety percent of all black Americans were living in the South. By the end of the Great Migration, some forty-seven percent were living outside the South.
The children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of these migrants make up the majority of African-Americans in the North and West. Most African-American families in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, Oakland and elsewhere can trace their origins back to the South.
Vast as it was, however, the Great Migration is not purely about the numbers but about the lasting effects of so many people uprooting themselves and transporting their culture from an isolated region of the country to the big cities of the North and West. They brought the music and folkways of the South with them and created a hybrid that has become woven into American life as a whole.
3. How did you find Ida Mae, George, and Robert, and why did you choose to focus on them instead of others you interviewed? Tell us a bit about your research, and why these three people stood out to you.
It took eighteen months of interviews with more than 1,200 people to find the three protagonists in the book. I interviewed seniors at quilting clubs in Brooklyn, senior centers in Chicago, on bus trips to Las Vegas with seniors from Los Angeles. I scouted for people at union meetings of retired postal workers and bus drivers and at AARP meetings on the South Side of Chicago. I went to Sunday mass in Los Angeles and Baptist churches in Brooklyn. I went to funerals, libraries, senior dances and the southern state clubs in Los Angeles and Chicago. Essentially, I went everywhere I could think of that would attract large numbers of black seniors who might have migrated from the South.
I went to some of these places enough times that people began to recognize me. I kept running into this one woman at Creole events and at Sunday mass in Los Angeles. The woman had migrated from Monroe, Louisiana. She heard the kinds of questions I was asking, and she came up to me and said, "I know the perfect person for you." She gave me Robert's name and number.
At a meeting of retired transit workers in Chicago, a woman signed an information sheet I had passed around to gather names of people who had come from Mississippi and Arkansas. The woman wasn't signing for herself. She was signing for her mother who had never been a transit worker but had come up from Mississippi. Her mother was Ida Mae. George, the third protagonist, introduced himself after Sunday service at a Baptist Church in Harlem and immediately began telling his story.
The goal of the search was to find one person for each of the three streams of the Migration (East Coast, Midwest and West Coast) through whom to tell the larger story of the entire phenomenon. They each represent not only different migration streams but different backgrounds, different motivations for leaving, different outcomes and different ways of adjusting to the New World. Together, their lives tell a more complete story of the Migration than has ever been told before.
4. In the process of telling their stories, what did you discover about why some people thrived in their new circumstances, while others did not?
As the stories unfold, many lessons emerge. One is insight into longevity and what it takes to survive the harshest of lives and come out whole. Another is a redefinition of success and accomplishment. A third is the varying ways migrants adjust to their circumstances, how they learn to make peace with the past, or not and how that adjustment affects their happiness. Each of the three protagonists adjusted to their circumstances in completely different ways. One turned his back on the South and created a new identity for himself, going as far as to change his name. He never fully found peace. Another moved between worlds, never fully reconciling one with the other. A third, Ida Mae, took the best of both worlds, never changed from who she was, and was the happiest and lived the longest of all.
5. Could you give us a few examples of well-known people whose lives would have been different, and perhaps would not have been possible, had it not been for the courage of those who left the South?
Many famous Americans were products of the Great Migration, and there's no way to know what their lives might have been like or if their achievements would have been possible had it not been for the courage of the parents or grandparents who left the South. Some might never have existed because their parents met in the North. Among the children of the Migration are: Toni Morrison, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Magic Johnson, Bill Cosby, Nat King Cole, Michael Jackson, Prince, Tupac Shakur, Whitney Houston, Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, Oprah Winfrey, the playwright Lorraine Hansberry, the broadcaster Bryant Gumbel, the astronaut Mae Jemison, the producer Sean "Puffy"Combs, the leading neurosurgeon Benjamin Carson, the artist Romare Bearden, the playwright August Wilson and many others.
Each of them grew up to become among the best in their fields, changed them, really. They were among the first generation of blacks in this country to grow up free and unfettered because of the actions of parents or grandparents who knew it was too late for themselves to truly benefit from the advantages of the north but knew it was not too late for their children.
One such parent, an ambitious sharecropper wife in Alabama, convinced her husband that their family should migrate to Cleveland in the 1920's. The father was so worried that, as they were packing, he had to steady himself on the shoulders of his nine-year-old son. The boy felt the father's hands shaking and only then realized the gravity of their situation. The boy's first day at school in the North, when the teacher asked his name, he told her it was J.C., which was short for James Cleveland. The teacher couldn't understand his southern accent and just called him Jesse instead. From that day forward he was known, not by his birth name, but by the one he had mistakenly acquired -- Jesse Owens. He went on to win four gold medals in the 1936 Olympics in Hitler's Berlin becoming the first American in the history of track and field to do so in a single Olympics and disproving the Aryan notions of his Nazi hosts.
6. Do most of the children who are products of The Great Migration know about their parents', or grandparents' experience leaving the South? If not, why do you think there is a kind of reluctance to talk about the "old country"?
Most children of the Great Migration know the basic facts of where their parents came from. But one reason the larger story of the Migration hasn't been fully told is because many families haven't talked about it much.
When the parents or grandparents left, many left for good. They didn't look back – it was just too painful. Some had experienced or witnessed violence. Many endured persecution. All had suffered the indignities of caste. Some felt shame or embarrassment over being southern and rural now that they were living in big, sophisticated cities.
Like immigrants who change their names or choose not to teach their children the language of the old country, some migrants created new northern identities for themselves and didn't pass along their stories to their children and grandchildren or take their children back to their homeland.
Others, however, surrounded themselves with people from back home and never left the South in spirit. So, children of the Migration grew up with differing connections to the South depending on their parents' connection to it and their parents' ability to make peace with their southern past, or not.
7. How did this influx of southerners to Northern and Western cities affect the urban landscape of America, and American culture as we know it?
It would be hard to imagine cultural life in America had the Great Migration not occurred. American music as we know it was one of the gifts of the Great Migration. Modern music grew out of the music the migrants brought with them, shaped by their exposure to life in the northern cities and, ultimately, the music their children and grandchildren created.
The three most influential musicians in jazz – Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane – were all children of the Great Migration, their music and their collaboration informed by their southern roots and migration experiences. Davis was born in Alton, Illinois, after his family migrated from Arkansas. Monk migrated with his family from North Carolina when he was five. Coltrane left High Point, North Carolina, for Philadelphia in 1943, when he was sixteen. Coltrane had never owned a saxophone before his mother bought him a used alto sax once he got north.
Motown simply would not have existed without the Great Migration. The parents of Berry Gordy, the company's founder, migrated from Georgia to Detroit during the migration. Gordy was born and raised in Detroit, where he later recruited other children of the Great Migration as talent for his new recording company, Motown records.
8. What was the cost to the South of this enormous migration? In what ways was this domestic migration similar to the immigration of foreigners to the U.S? In what ways was it different?
The South lost vast numbers of its most ambitious workers to the Great Migration. In some cases, entire plantations were left empty of workers. Southern authorities responded swiftly to stem the outflow of its cheap labor. The South reenacted anti-enticement laws from the time of slavery to keep blacks from leaving. The authorities imposed fines of up to $25,000 to anyone caught recruiting black workers north or helping them to get out. Police arrested blacks from railroad platforms, shut down ticket counters to blacks trying to get out, and when those things failed, simply wouldn't let trains stop at stations where large contingents of blacks were waiting to board.
The accomplishments of well-known migrants, such as B.B. King, Richard Wright, Louis Armstrong, Zora Neale Hurston, Ralph Ellison, along with the exponentially larger corps of influential children of the Migration show the cost the South paid as a result of the Great Migration. To this day, the South lags the North in many economic indices, such as wage scales, life expectancy, property values, cost of living and cultural influence in this country. These are complicated economic issues that result from many internal and external forces. But the loss of so much intellectual and creative talent and the fact that those who left comprise the bulk of the success stories of African-American life in this country can only hint at the unknowable price paid by the South as a result of the loss of so much talent and manpower.
This domestic migration was similar to most any other immigration experience in that the people had to make the hard choice to leave the only place they had every known for a place they had never seen, just as any other immigrant must do. The interior sense of loss and longing, of being torn between worlds, never quite fitting in, making sacrifices for the next generation are all universal to the human experience of migration.
The Great Migration differs and is, in fact, tragic because these people were already citizens. In a just world, they shouldn't have had to uproot themselves to experience the full rights of citizenship. Birth in this country alone should have assured that for them. The realities of race and caste in the South forced them to leave to claim their citizenship. But once in the North and West, they ran into resistance and hostility and had to work even harder to prove themselves, often being pitted against immigrants from other countries, who, in fact, had more in common with them, as landless serfs themselves, than many of them truly realized.
1. The Warmth of Other Suns combines a sweeping historical perspective with vivid intimate portraits of three individuals: Ida Mae Gladney, George Swanson Starling, and Robert Pershing Foster. What is the value of this dual focus, of shifting between the panoramic and the close-up? In what ways are Ida Mae Gladney, George Starling, and Robert Foster representative of the millions of other migrants who journeyed from South to North?
2. In many ways The Warmth of Other Suns seeks to tell a new story—about the Great Migration of southern blacks to the north—and to set the record straight about the true significance of that migration. What are the most surprising revelations in the book? What misconceptions does Wilkerson dispel?
3. What were the major economic, social, and historical forces that sparked the Great Migration? Why did blacks leave in such great numbers from 1915 to 1970?
4. What were the most horrifying conditions of Jim Crow South? What instances of racial terrorism stand out most strongly in the book? What daily injustices and humiliations did blacks have to face there?
5. In what ways was the Great Migration of southern blacks similar to other historical migrations? In what important ways was it unique?
6. After being viciously attacked by a mob in Cicero, a suburb of Chicago, Martin Luther King, Jr. said: "I have seen many demonstrations in the South, but I have never seen anything so hostile and so hateful as I've seen here today" (p. 389). Why were northern working-class whites so hostile to black migrants?
7. Wilkerson quotes Black Boy in which Richard Wright wrote, on arriving in the North: "I had fled one insecurity and embraced another" (p. 242). What unique challenges did black migrants face in the North? How did these challenges affect the lives of Ida Mae Gladney, George Starling, and Robert Foster?
8. Wilkerson points out that the three most influential figures in jazz were all children of the Great Migration: Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, and John Coltrane. What would American culture look like today if the Great Migration hadn't happened?
9. What motivated Ida Mae Gladney, George Starling, and Robert Foster to leave the South? What circumstances and inner drives prompted them to undertake such a difficult and dangerous journey? What would likely have been their fates if they had remained in the South? In what ways did living in the North free them?
10. Near the end of the book, Wilkerson asks: "With all that grew out of the mass movement of people, did the Great Migration achieve the aim of those who willed it? Were the people who left the South—and their families—better off for having done so? Was the loss of what they left behind worth what confronted them in the anonymous cities they fled to?" (p. 528). How does Wilkerson answer these questions?
11. How did the Great Migration change not only the North but also the South? How did the South respond to the mass exodus of cheap black labor?
12. In what ways are current attitudes toward Mexican Americans similar to attitudes toward African Americans expressed by Northerners in The Warmth of Other Suns? For example, the ways working-class Northerners felt that Southern blacks were stealing their jobs.
13. At a neighborhood watch meeting in Chicago's South Shore, Ida Mae listens to a young state senator named Barack Obama. In what ways is Obama's presidency a indirect result of the Great Migration?
14. What is the value of Wilkerson basing her research primarily on firsthand, eyewitness accounts, gathered through extensive interviews, of this historical period?
15. Wilkerson writes of her three subjects that "Ida Mae Gladney had the humblest trappings but was perhaps the richest of them all. She had lived the hardest life, been given the least education, seen the worst the South could hurl at her people, and did not let it break her . . . . Her success was spiritual, perhaps the hardest of all to achieve. And because of that, she was the happiest and lived the longest of them all" (p. 532). What attributes allowed Ida Mae Gladney to achieve this happiness and longevity? In what sense might her life, and the lives of George Starling and Robert Foster as well, serve as models for how to persevere and overcome tremendous difficulties?

Reverse Geocoding an address with Nokia Maps API for JavaME
This article explains how to use reverse geocoding service with the Map API for Java ME to get address for selected Geo location.
- Reverse Geocoding (Java Developer's Library)
- HERE Maps Code Examples
Nokia Asha
Nokia Asha Platform 1.0
Series 40
Series 40 DP 2.0
Series 40 DP 1.1
The HERE Maps API for Java ME facilitates the easy embedding of the HERE Maps service into Java ME applications. The API includes reverse geocode functionality, which makes it possible to find the address of the given geographical coordinates.
SearchFactory and ReverseGeocodeRequestListener
The SearchFactory class (available in the 'com.nokia.maps.search ' package) offers various functionalities, including geocode, reverse geocode, and search. These operations are performed in an asynchronous manner, for each service there is a listener interface defined for result callback, which is used when the service is used in asynchronous manner. This interface implements methods for informing of the successful completion of the request as well as there is separate method to be called in error situations.
Implementing reverse geo coding midlet
To be able to utilizing the reverse geo service, there need to be class which is implementing the required PlaceSearchRequestListener interface, this interface defines following 2 methods:
- onRequestComplete(ReverseGeocodeRequest request, Location[] result)
- onRequestError(ReverseGeocodeRequest request, java.lang.Throwable error)
And to include this interface in your midlet implementation you need to use the implements clause to, basic code that handles this is shown below:
public class MapRevGeoCoding extends MIDlet
implements ReverseGeocodeRequestListener, ...
public void onRequestComplete(ReverseGeocodeRequest request, Location[] result){
public void onRequestError(ReverseGeocodeRequest request, java.lang.Throwable error) {
Starting the query
Before the service can be used you need to get the instance of search factory, which implements the service, this is handled by simply calling the getInstance method from SearchFactory:
sm = SearchFactory.getInstance();
Then you need to create the ReverseGeocodeRequest instance. This is handled by calling createReverseGeocodeRequest method for the search factory, which after you can use the methods implemented in the reverse geo coding request to handle the actual reverse geo coding request. Note that this request class is implementing multiple functions for making the request, and if you choose you can use the synchronous versions, which would allow you to handle the reply right after the function cal. With this example we are using asynchronous methods, and as we implemented the ReverseGeocodeRequestListener interface we can use the this with with the method call, the other argument used with this method call, is geo the location to be used with reverse geo coding, in this example the center of the map is used as the geo location for the service.
ReverseGeocodeRequest revG = sm.createReverseGeocodeRequest();
Handling the result
Successful completion of the asynchronous reverse geo coding will be notified by calling the onRequestComplete method implemented for the ReverseGeocodeRequestListener interface. The onRequestComplete will be called with ReverseGeocodeRequest argument, as well as Location array holding the results for the request.
public void onRequestComplete(ReverseGeocodeRequest request, Location[] result){
if(result.length > 0){
Location firstLocation = result[0];
Address address = firstLocation.getAddress();
The query could also be finished with error, and to handle those you should also implement the onRequestError method, in this example this method simply informs the user of the possible problem.
public void onRequestError(ReverseGeocodeRequest request, java.lang.Throwable error){
Alert alertView = new Alert("Search request error: " + error.getMessage());
Full source code of the MapRevGeoCoding is available here: File:Java MapRevGeoCoding.zip
The Map API for Java ME offers rich functionalities that allows to integrate all the main HERE Maps features in a Java ME application, with just a few lines of code.

Comments about Frigidaire 24" Built-In Dishwasher - Stainless Steel:
Very easy to install (but not with copper tubing like my kitchen but not the washers fault). Product came as described. when performing the test wash I had to open the door to ensure that it indeed was runing because it is so quiet. If you are on the fence about this product, I can honestly say that this is a solid product that will impress you and you will be happy with.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Avid Cook
With the holidays approaching, we needed to replace our old dishwasher. Amazed at how quiet this one is compared to our existing. It does an amazing job on wine glasses! Since we rinse our dinnerware, we use the "low wash" setting and even skip it forward early to the rinse cycle. Not the most chic or high-end, loading is a little awkward, but it is definitely functional and gets the job done for us.

Burke excited to be back for UNH men's hockey after lengthy layoff
Sunday, December 30, 2012
DURHAM — The University of New Hampshire men's hockey team hasn't played a meaningful game in more than three weeks.
The Wildcats were able to compensate for the loss, going 4-1-1 in Burke's absence. Freshman forward Maxim Gaudreault in particular saw his first extensive action at the college level.
Burke, an alternate captain, will wear a brace tonight for added stability. The shoulder was dislocated when he was checked into the boards at UMass-Lowell. He's had issues with it in the past including surgery.
Burke has a history of injuries at UNH. He played in only 18 games as a sophomore. He missed three games last season but played most of the second half with a cast under his glove to protect a bad wrist.

Please pray for my students
Hello! I am a special care counselor in a high school. I have 3 students who are suicidal, it's pretty much an epidemic among teenagers in my school. I would really appreciate a prayer or two. I am praying that they will benefit from Jesus' resurrection on Sunday. I always tell them how unique they are and how all the gold on the planet could never buy them. Thank you in advance for all your wonderful prayers and thoughts! God bless!
