MXIBS - Looking Backward and Living Forward
by Jim Amidon • September 19, 2011 Share:The men of the Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies celebrated the Institute's 40-year history and looked to its future with a series of presentations, panels, and video interviews that revealed the constant struggles and myriad accomplishments men of color have experienced at Wabash College.
More than 50 alumni members of the MXIBS, which was founded in 1971, returned to campus to recall the past and plan for the future under the leadership of Dr. Michael Brown, who is the Institute's third director and also serves as Associate Dean of the College.
"I think you men who have returned to campus have seen the same strengths here that gave your own lives meaning," said President Patrick White in a Saturday morning discussion. "The kind of education that transformed your lives continues to this day. The MXI is a strong and important agent of that work and it will remain that way."
Dr. Brown taught at Wabash for four years prior to an 11-year stint at Emory University, where he taught theology and religion and mentored graduate students. His return as the Institute's new director has brought enthusiasm for the potential of the MXIBS to serve students of color — and the entire Wabash community.
Brown was praised by one of his former Wabash students, Luttrell Levingston '98, who moderated a panel talk featuring Dr. Brown, President White, and Dean of the College Gary Phillips.
"Michael Brown's relationship with Wabash didn't end when he left the College," Levingston said. "I can tell you that he has reached out to many of my friends to help them get their lives and careers straight. He has been a presence in our lives."
Brown — and many other alumni, faculty, and administrators — spoke of the tension in which the Institute has existed since its founding. When it was developed, students hoped three important things would happen — a Black Studies program would emerge within the curriculum; more African Americans would be hired to faculty and staff positions; and African American students would have a place of their own on the campus.
Since that time, Brown said, the Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies has lived in the tension between acting as a student center and academic center. "The MXI has lived in a creative, aspirational tension ever since it was founded," Brown said. "The ambiguity in which it exists is a productive one."
Dean Phillips said the MXIBS has always — and will continue — to play a critical role in the academic life of the College.
"Liberal arts work is about synergy between faculty and students, coaches and athletes, alumni and students, and faculty and staff," Dean Phillips said. "We have to work together… Michael's work — in collaboration with offices across the College — will ensure that every student has access to the people and programs that lead to success."
A year-long program review led by an advisory committee working with current MXIBS members defined three ways the Institute could have a positive impact on the College: A continuing focus on student success, cultural enrichment, and community engagement.
"How do we form these young men while they are here so that they are prepared for the lives they will lead 20, 30, even 40 years from now," Brown asked. "Empowerment is a big piece of that, and the MXI is a place where students develop and test their leadership skills."
Dr. Brown also spoke broadly about cultural enrichment. "There is a difference between racial diversity and cultural diversity," he said. "There are assumptions we grow up with as African Americans that are not challenged. Our students need to understand that there is a diversity not only in this country, but globally, and about what it means to grow up as a person of African descent."
Keith Nelson '71 was one of the Institute's nine founders and was instrumental in organizing the 40th anniversary event.
"We had an idea and we called it the Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies," Nelson said. "We had a responsibility to each other, for each other, and to our community. And through Black Studies, we learned about each other and taught each other.
"Malcolm X challenged us. He asked us, 'Who are we?' The name — Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies — was chosen to remind us of that challenge."
Dr. Peter Frederick, a 35-year member of the Wabash faculty who, with Professor Finley Campbell, helped students establish the Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies, was named an Honorary Alumnus in the Class of 1992 at Saturday's banquet. Frederick recalled the meeting at which the students decided what to name the center.
"The students went into the building to name it and chose Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies, which did not surprise me. We had been talking about Malcolm X and Dr. King… Malcolm talked about human rights. 'What kind of person will I be not just in this country, but in the larger world?' Malcolm was asking questions in a much larger context, and so the name made sense."
President White noted that alumni have always been critical to the success of the Institute. "You MXI alumni are engaged in the mentoring of our students in formal programs and in informal ways," the President said. "That alumni strength and loyalty is extraordinarily important to us. Chat Collier, Bob Wedgeworth, Kenyatta Brame, Keith Nelson, and Luttrell Levingston have been engaged, and it has intensified and become more pervasive in the last few years. And we sometimes need to remind ourselves that these things are not happening everywhere, but they are happening at Wabash."
Wabash Trustee Robert Wedgeworth '59 attended Wabash long before the Civil Rights Movement and the MXIBS, yet the former Dean of Library Science at both Columbia University and the University of Illinois has long been a supporter of the students.
"I was here before there was an Institute," Wedgeworth said. "And I've always told you guys that I'll have your backs. Just remember that things are different today than they were in my time. The Institute is always evolving."
Looking backward and living forward became a theme for the weekend. And the tension of evolving the Institute to meet the needs of today's students — while honoring its past — provided a useful tension to guide conversations. In some ways, that tension mirrors the tension of the Institute itself — student club or academic center, place of refuge or place of outreach, place of nurturing support or a place of strength and independence?
After receiving the Honorary Alumnus Award (read the citation here) from NAWM President Greg Castanias '87, Frederick captured much of the sentiment of the weekend when he continued a mantra of "looking backward in order to live forward."
"There's an ambiguity and tension with the Institute… I see these current students and they are quality men with great potential and I listen to us struggle with a re-definition of what the Institute should be. And over time, when we have struggled like this, what have we done? We have trusted our students.
"This morning when we were talking about what's in the center of the core of the Institute, and Terrance Pigues came right out and said, 'Students!'"
Wedgeworth provided two moments of excitement Saturday night. First, he unveiled a painting of Wabash's first African American graduate, John Evans, which he and his wife, C.K., had commissioned. The piece will hang in the Institute.
Moments later, Wedgeworth announced that he and C.K. had pledged $10,000 as seed money to establish the Horace Turner Fund at the Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies in honor of Turner, who directed the Institute for 35 years. He also said his family would match 50 percent of additional gifts from alumni with hopes of having a $40,000 fund by December 2012.
Seconds after Wedgeworth made the announcement, at least a dozen alumni rose to their feet shouting words of praise for Turner and about their experiences, and pledging money to grow the fund.
Turner had thanked the alumni earlier in the day when he said, "The 40-year history of the Institute would not have been possible without you alumni — you developed it, you sustained it."
Keith Veal '92, a frequent admissions and alumni volunteer for the College, put the 40-year history and hopes for the future in perspective when he suggested that each generation of students develops its own identity for the Institute.
"The Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies is always changing," Veal said. "We need to define it and defend in our time."

I was wondering the same thing. I think I heard him & his dad speak French during k n c, but apparently all canadian geese do. weird
I very much doubt it . It sounds more British to me. And if he were, wouldn't his first name be Mohammed, or Rashid, or something like that.......
Mitch's mom is Debbie Albright Islam a former Canadian Junior champ and senior medalist. She is a judge. His dad is a long time coach at Mariposa north of Toronto. Mitch speaks english and might speak French too. Here is an article from Skate Canada about his mom: Judge: Debbie Islam Jan 4, 2010 By Skate Canada Welcome back to our series of profiles on Skate Canada's officials assigned to the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. Debbie Islam, from Barrie, Ontario, assigned to judge the men's event, has been skating since she was two years old and is a former Canadian Junior Women's Champion, the 1979 senior ladies bronze Medalist (a year in which she won the figures portion of the championship) and a member of Canada's National Team for five years. Debbie trained under coaching greats Sheldon Galbraith, Ellen Burka, Kerry Leitch, Marjorie Black, Otto Gold and Osborne Colson. Debbie also started judging at a young age, getting involved while still competing. "It was a great opportunity to see things from a totally different perspective, which really helped my own skating at the time." While pursuing her university education, Debbie has a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Health Science degree, she wanted to stay connected with figure skating as it was such a big part of her life. "I felt I had a lot to contribute and give back to a sport I am so passionate about!" Debbie has judged internationally for 20 years during which time she has officiated at six ISU World Figure Skating Championships. Vancouver will be her second Olympic Winter Games; she judged the ladies event in Salt Lake City in 2002. Debbie is the current Chair of the Skate Canada Technical Officials Committee, was the first athlete representative on the Skate Canada Board of Directors, has sat on various committees in her section of Central Ontario and has served as a representative for figure skating on the Canadian Olympic Association Athletes' Advisory Council. Asked about the upcoming Olympics, Debbie says, "Words cannot describe how honored I feel to be assigned to judge at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver!! This will be the experience of a lifetime!"
I love how involved his family is. this arrangement seems to work. I watched the FDs at SA and felt that they were undermarked. I really like their program, though I do realize that it is tougher to sell to judges than last year`s program. I agree with Pratfall, their scores may have suffered due to the problems in the SD. I cannot wait to see the progress they make on both programs by the time NHK rolls around.
It is possible to get good scores after a really bad SD. At Skate America, P&B. At CoR in 2008, D&W. For that matter, P&I at SC 2010.
True, but P/I's SD here wasn't just rough like their SC one from last season (where they scored a fairly respectable 50), it was a complete disaster. And they don't have the reputation that P/B or D/W do to help them out. Heck, Im pretty sure most of the skating world has no idea who they are (something that I think will change fairly quickly). I'm not saying that it's impossible to drastically pick up your scores after the SD, just suggesting that it might be harder for an unknown team who has that type of meltdown. I guess we'll see how things go at NHK.
Well, after the ice dance non-event that was CoC, I'm quite excited for NHK -- there are more teams than not who interest me -- but am both anticipatory and a little nervous yet for P/I. Really hope to see both programs competed to their potential, though.
Yes, now that they've had a bit more time to settle into their programs after her injury, I'm hopeful that they can put it together for their next comps. I really hope they can max it for Nats.
Hope they will be ready for NHK. And hope she is doing well. A lot of will depend from technicka panel of judges i think.
I've really been looking forward to this event. This could be one of the most exciting GP's for dance. I hope they're ready. I hope she's over the injury..and I hope my nerves hold up.
Yes - this will be vry interesting to see who will win. Shibs, I-K, W-P.... And where P-I will be at the end of competition?
I hope their coaches encourage them to go out guns blazing, and project project project. They skate really prettily, which is great, but I wonder what would happen if they pushed themselves to the edge a little more.
I think push, push, pushing is how they happened to fall down. When teams go to senior, they often have to increase their speed. When they try to do that, other things sometimes come apart a bit the first year or two.
I hope they're able to go out guns blazing. I'm sure there was a combination of things at work at SA. I understand speed was something they were specifically working on off-season...and they weren't painfully slow last year , as some teams are in their transition year. Still, I can see a bit too much push, a bit too soon after her injury being a factor, and maybe some nerves ... because they managed to get a 2nd GP, but it was the first and they weren't as ready as they'd have liked to be. I'm interested in how some of the other teams do as well ( go, W/P , and S/S) , but particularly interested in the relationship of P/I to so many. Thinking of Nationals , how is the differential between them and W/P shaping up at this stage? Can they whittle away the distance between themselves and Z/G at SA ( and by extension R/H ) ? Two years out of Juniors how do they compare to WJ podium mates ,I/K ?or WJ competitors S/S and A/V ? It will be very interesting.. Crossing fingers for them.
NHK's just around the corner now! I'm really excited to see how they've progressed. I'm not expecting them to be 100%, but a clean SD should set them up nicely for a good finish. I'm not too interested in how they stack up to the others, only because I don't think its fair to compare teams when one is injured. As for their speed, it seems that they have slowed down quite a bit this season, which makes sense since she's hurt. I really don't think they were lacking in the speed department last season. It's hard to judge from TV, but I saw them at last summer's Thornhill live and they were really flying. They weren't lacking power either. I'm sure they'll regain all of that once she is completely healthy. Fingers crossed for them this weekend!!
Well, half of NHK is in the books. A much better outing this time around in the SD. Still, though, they looked tentative and scared, and it showed in the marks. They essentially got a GOE of 0 for their entire program. Their FD at SA seemed so much more secure that I wonder if the FD was choreographed prior to her injury (giving them more time to work with it) and the SD later in the summer. I guess it could just be the Latin theme that gives them trouble, but given how well they did with the Tango last season and the Flamenco the year before, I doubt that's the problem. Still, it was nice to see them redeem themselves and at the very least get through the performance in one piece. I'm hoping they can get back in the groove before nationals, because I like this program and really want to see it skated full out. Keeping my fingers crossed that they really nail that gorgeous FD tonight.
Glad they stayed on their feet today. It's interesting that P&I were the World Junior Silver medalists the year that I&K were first and the Shibs were 4th. Both teams have sorta left P&I in the dust. P&I are better skaters than their marks/placement indicate. I really think it's unfortunate that they had the SD and overall placement at SA that they did because that is probably now in the minds of judges and affecting their PCS. As much as I love the first piece of music they're using for the SD, I'm thinking that perhaps they shouldn't have gone the "subtle" route. It just doesn't stand out enough against all the other teams who are doing really dynamic and "in your face" SDs. It's kinda sad that they are behind that US team and the Italian team (who were also at JW finishing 5th the year P&I were second). One concern I have for P&I is that they are basically training in isolation. They have no other high level dance team to compare themselves to day in and day out with things like speed, power, ice coverage etc. What other dance teams is David Islam coaching at the moment?
ITA, with everything. I think though, that if P/I were skating now the way that they were last season, they would be much, much closer to I/K and the Shibs. It's a shame that due to the high level of ice dance in Canada, P/I didn't get to go to worlds and compete with I/K and the Shibs last season. It seems that the injury and the poor result from SA has really done a number on their confidence, and its showing the in PCS. Their technical score wasn't too bad, but their PCS was really low compared to the top teams. I think the reason the sultry style isn't working is that they seem so tentative and out of sorts that they're not connecting with one another. Hopefully by nationals they'll have reached the point with this program where they don't have to be so methodical and can really push the performance level. This season will likeky be a rough one for them, but I'm sure that next season, if Alexandra is healthy and they have a full summer of training, they should be right in the mix with those two teams and the rest of the young up and comers. As per their traning arrangements, I worry about the isolation as well. I wouldn't be surprised to see them move somewhere new in the next couple of years, at least part time. Trainig with a rival has done wonders for V/M and D/W, and it seemed to really make a difference for Weaver/Poje as well. I'm hoping that that type of push would help these two further along as well.
Happy to see them skate clean SD! I love this two. Yes, maybe they will not go to the top so quikly, like I-K and Shibs, but this two pleasent to watch for me Good luck to them in FD!
Did P/I withdraw?? Mitch just tweeted this: Thanks to everyone for their support and to the wonderful Japanese officials here. Alex is going to be fine, just needs some time to heal. And of course, good luck to all our competitors, we will be there to cheer you on : ) Nothing on the ISU site that I can find, but, ugh. That's worrisome, though it would better contextualize the overly-cautious performance last night (and Alex didn't look entirely comfortable at points).
tatjana21 tweeted: Paul/Islam withdrawn from NHK, she suffered a cut in a practice collision with Alessandrini/Vaturi.
PJ Kwong elaborated: Just out Paul/Islam WD from NHK - Paul has post left thigh cut after colliding in AM practice w/Italians These two have got some extraordinarily bad luck.
According to twitter, she got cut in the thigh and needed 20 stitches. Poor girl. Honestly, these two can't catch a break.

Unanswered Questions
How do you copy a file from one directory to another just before a war is constructed?
How do I have maven run my project... once again not a clue... ( or just spit out a commandline that I can pipe to a .bat file)
How about making sure all files needed are available so I can run disconnected?
How about being able to answer the question... why is this jar in my build?
How do I exclude a jar from my build no matter what dependency asks for it?
When is the 2.1 version of Maven planned to be released? (or alternatively is the fix for MNG-553 planned for a 2.0.X release?) This is critical for the corporation I work for.
How to replace "attainGoal" in maven 1 with plugin in maven 2?
I would like to write up a plugin that have multiple goals. Does anyone have some samples that can share? Basically, a sample goal that compiles the source and another one that packages it as a WAR would be sufficient. Please help and thanks in advance
The way to 'call goals' in maven 2 is using plugin. I think what you should do is write a plugin that comprises of other plugins (goals) that you wish to call with their respective phase. So when you call this plugin (say during compile phase), it in turn will call your 'configured plugins' to do their work. This has the same effect of specifying multiple goals.
I believe one can do the same thing without writing a plugin for it but if your requirements demand it, yes you can do it that way. For example I wrote a maven 2 plugin (boiler plate code generator) that uses jaxme plugin with some additional processing. I did sort of the same thing. This 'MyPlugin' used jaxme plugin & did some more operation as part of it's 'phase'.
Why TaglibPlugin don't add inherited attributes to my TLD ?
I'm using org.xdoclet.plugin.web.TaglibPlugin to generate TLD from my Tag library but inherited attributes are not generated. What should I do ?
XDoclet can only scan source files, so the parent class' source should be available to the plugin. Assuming
the parent class is in a different module, add a dependency for the source artifact to the plugin definition in the build section.
Where can I find a listing of the available variable references that could be use during site generation?
How do I run a shell script from inside a Mojo?
See http://mojo.codehaus.org/exec-maven-plugin/exec-mojo.html
Will the release plug-in resolve all my SNAPSHOT dependencies?
No, it will check if there are still any SNAPSHOT dependencies there and won't proceed if there are. You
will have to manually choose a stable (released) version before you can release.
How to copy files from local repo to remote repository?
You should use deploy plugin. This plugin will also create SHA1 & MD5 files needed for checksum.
Where should sql, dtds, test data and generated docs go?
Is there a way for plugin goals to be aware of the phase they are being executed on?
When you have a project using a code generator plugin, how can we add the generated sources in the list of eclipse source directory?
How do I tell maven which version of ant I want it to call?
How do I display special characters (i.e. copyright symbol, latin-1) with APT?
This is already covered in the APT mini-guide. http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-apt-format.html
I have an issue with my user.home directoy have either a space or special character ie. C:\Documents and Settings\myname & someothername. This causes an org.codehaus.plexus.util.xml.pull.XmlPullParserException: entity reference names can not start with character ' ' (position: START_TAG seen ...<extendC:\Documents and Settings\myname & ... @2:44) error. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this without creating a new Windows account <read major pain> Thanks
Use the Windows short filenames for "Documents and Settings" and any other parts of the path that contain spaces.
To find the "short filename" open a DOS box and go to the containing folder. In this example, the root of drive C: and type "DIR /X" (If you forget, type DIR /? and notice the X option gives you the "short" name. My computer shows this:
06/09/2006 10:21 AM <DIR> DOCUME~1 Documents and Settings
The "short" name is DOCUME~1 and the full name is shown to it's right.
Now ... someone needs to fill in the part about how to get user.home set to the location using "short" names.
How do I call another Mojo (in a different plugin) from my Mojo?
How do I get a list of all available properties?
How do I get a list of all available properties? I already found a static list (*http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/MavenPropertiesGuide), *but there should be a way to create a list of all available properties and their values during the build , e.g. by using a Properties-Plugin.
Here is some more helpful information from the user list:
There is no official list of [Maven 2] properties.
One thing that helps is that things defined in the POM can sometimes be referenced as properties. For example project.build.finalName gives the value from the pom that is defined in: <project>
(Skipping all the other parts of the POM) Just put the tags from the top down with "dot"s between.
There is a tricky part to this though. The POM you are looking at may have a parent pom from which it inherits values and all POMs have an ultimate ancestor in the "SUPER" pom.
If you give the command "mvn help:effective-pom" it will show you the full resulting POM that results when all the inheritance and such are considered. You can look at this pom to find the "dot" format that is used to reference something in particular. Do this by looking at how the XML tags are nested to get to a particular value.
How can I get jetty to run just before the test phase so that I can test my webapps with just "mvn test"?
Specific [Unanswered] Errors - Need more information
I've got my plugin pom setup to build everything and construct the final zip file. The issue I'm trying to wrap my brain around is keeping my feature.xml and site.xml files up to date with the correct version info. Since I can't use versions like 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT in my plugin, I have to munge the plugins pom version into something like 1.0.0.v${DATETIME} and insert that into the plugins descriptor (plugin.xml). Since the version in the plugin.xml changes I have to update the plugin entries in the feature descriptor (feature.xml), rev the feature and update the site.xml with the new feature version. Just curious to see if anyone else out there is struggling with these same issues and what if any solutions/band-aids have been implemented
This is more of a user-list type of question. It's going to be an in-depth discussion about designing and/or configuring a suite of plugins for a very specific purpose. This probably isn't a Frequently Asked Question.
Why the FTP Wagon hangs?
Need more information on this. Under what circumstances does this happen? Can the user access the server in another FTP client? Is there a stack trace associated? Do they have a corresponding <server/> section in the settings.xml?
When I run the release:prepare goal I get an authorization failed error. I tried adding the username and password into my pom.xml file and I still get the error. I checked using the command line and my username and password is being cached by subversion. Any ideas?
Your username and password may be cached separately by short and long (hostname+domain) remote repository hostnames. That is, if you access the subversion repository on the command line as "http://svn/..." and maven is using "http://svn.dev.busy.com/..." (or vice versa) your password may not be cached for both.
Suppose you have a database library in project A on svn.dev.busy.com, try the following two commands:
If either of these requires a password, then your password to SVN was not cached like it should have been, but now it should be cached, and the mvn release:prepare
should succeed.
This is the entry point for a debugging discussion. From here, the user may need to verify that they have the 'svn' command in their path, and that Maven is trying to use subversion with the same username that the user has verified by hand. After that, it depends.
Why am I getting this error when I build my project: "Unable to locate the Javac Compiler"?
We would need to get more information about this user's POM and environment (output of the build would be most valuable) in order to effectively answer this question. Without this context, it is unanswerable.
Why do I get java.lang.NullPointerException while trying to generate site for a project?
Even a simple stacktrace for this user's error would help immensely in debugging this problem. Without specifics, any higher analysis is virtually impossible.
Probable cause: no <url> in the pom. The NPE is fixed long ago.
How to make archetype where project artifacts have names based on artifactId?
*How can I create an archetype where one of the archetype-resource files should be created with a name based on the artifactId? For instance, if I ask to create a new project based on my archetype with -DartifactId=foobar, then I'd like a foobar-stuff.xml file to appear in the project. I know that I can use ${artifactId} within files, but how can I do the same thing with filename?
How can I add two different source-directories to a project?
The build-helper-maven-plugin can help you out.
Compilation of dependencies in a project
Is there any solution that could be used to compile my dependencies (building the jars to bring it up-to-date) when I generate my webapplication?
On the "Maven in 5 Minutes" page, when I gave the command "mvn package", it didn't work.
The text neglected to say that, just before you give the command "mvn package", you have to give the
command "cd my-app" .

Every year I find a bowhunting sight that I like enough to use for the rest of my life, but each January my curiosity overwhelms me and my Mathews takes on a new look. This year my sight of choice is still unofficial, but the two competitors are the AXT (Archer Xtreme) Carbon Carnivore and the AXT Titanium Xtreme bowhunting sights. As of right now, the Titanium Xtreme is mounted on my new Heli-m but I can't say for sure which one will be there come the Fall 2012.
Let's take an in-depth look at the Titanium Xtreme bow sight by Archer Xtreme.
The Titanium Xtreme bow sight by Archer Xtreme
The Titanium Xtreme (XT) bow sight is constructed of the strong, ultra-light material we all know as Titanium. The Titanium XT is built on the successful Carbon Carnivore platform with some minor changes. The first, and most obvious, is the switch from carbon fiber to titanium. Titanium is twice as strong as aluminum and 45% lighter than steel. The benefits of titanium (aside from a stronger and lighter material) are that titanium, unlike steel, will not rust and is not easily corroded. Product engineering never ceases to amaze me in the archery industry. The Titanium Xtreme bow sight is the first sight constructed of titanium and is without question on the cutting edge. The Titanium Xtreme is a "no nonsense" sight. Bow manufacturers are producing light weight bows for back country minded hunters and Archer Xtreme is the front-runner for this trend when it comes to archery accessories. The Titanium XT design is super light weight with unnecessary material cut out around the sight housing and mounting bracket. There is only one slight change that may be beneficial to the design of the Titanium Xtreme and this would be to add a little bit of material to mounting bracket in the X-axis. This would provide a little extra rigidity to the sight and offer archer's some additional peace of mind.
The Titanium Xtreme sight is a light weight, well designed bow sight with clearly defined laser etched graduations and micro adjustment for fine tuning.
The Titanium Xtreme includes all the features that bowhunters expect out of high-end hunting sights. Tool-less windage and elevation adjustment are micro-adjustable. The adjustment knobs produce a very tight and audible "click," when adjusting the sight housing there is no guessing as to how much adjustment you're making. The sight housing adjustment blocks are also laser engraved for accurate adjustments. Around the large 2" sight housing is the HV Fiber Guard Ring system, this is a colored sight ring for proper peep sight alignment of the sight housing. The Fiber Guard Ring color can be ordered in fluorescent red, orange or green.
The adjustment knobs allow you to feel and hear each click while adjusting your sigh for windage and elevation.
The Titanium Xtreme includes five .019" diameter pins that come in green, red and yellow super flex fiber-optic. The sight pins of the AXT Titanium Xtreme sight incorporate C.C.P. (Center Core Pin) technology which is a tubular pin with the fiber optic running through the middle, this allows the fiber to be 100% protected at all times, eliminating the issue of broken fibers. The sight pins have an additional 8" of fiber for light accumulation in low-light situations that is neatly stowed out of the way down and around the sight mounting bracket with the Fiber Harness bracket system. Absolute Zero pin-gap spacing is possible for today's high-speed bows.
Archer Xtreme's Titanium Xtreme sight uses Center Core Pin technology to protect the fiber optics.
One feature that is particularly nice to see included on a high-end bow sight, is the rear mounted LED pin light. The light sits at the very back of the mounting bracket where the sight mounts to the riser of the bow, turning the light on is simple and discrete.
The Titanium Xtreme comes with an LED light already mounted to the sight.
Archer Xtreme's Titanium Xtreme sight is right/left hand adjustable by reversing the mounting bracket and replacing the bubble level to the top of the pin guard.
All in all, the sight is an excellent choice for the bowhunter looking for a performance driven bow sight. I used the Titanium Xtreme sight to take down my first animal with my Mathews Heli-m, a Rio- Grande turkey in Oklahoma. If you're looking for a high quality sight to dress up your new bow or simply to upgrade the sight on your old favorite, the Titanium Xtreme by Archer Xtreme is worth a serious look.
My first animal of 2012, an Oklahoma turkey. My sight on this trip was the Archer Xtreme Titanium Xtreme.

Even before I saw the attendance figures for the annual Mathews Retailer Business Show, I knew I was witnessing the company's biggest, most successful show in its four-year history. This exciting three-day event has grown big-time since its launch in 2008.
It's a heck of a show for archery retailers. It's very business-oriented, and it's held in early December each year at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. This year it attracted more than 400 retailers and 150 exhibitors, including more than 100 Lost Camo licensees. That's nearly a 50 percent growth in show exhibitors from a year ago, and a whopping 112 more exhibitors than the inaugural show drew in 2008.
Companies such as KTech Designs make a variety of high-quality accessories specifically designed to compliment your Mathews bow.
It's great to see new companies like Archer Xtreme pushing the sport of archery to new heights with their cutting edge designs and materials.
Matt McPherson, Mathews' founder and president, reminded us of the company's philanthropic work, too. "Not only do Lost Camo licensed products give Mathews retailers a unique and exclusive product to help their business, but 100 percent of the Lost Camo proceeds help people less fortunate around the world," Matt said. "That's in addition to the funding Mathews and Mission have been doing for years for those less fortunate."
I attended the show all three days with Justin Zarr and several other staff members from our Bowhunting.com crew. Let me tell you, we scrambled the entire time to make sure we saw the latest bowhunting gear from Mathews and all the other exhibitors. In fact, this year's show was so large it was held inside "the bubble," a giant building with an inflatable roof. This mammoth building is the Chula Vista convention center's largest venue.
A view from inside "The Bubble", where several hundred people spent nearly 3 days conducting the business that keeps our industry running.
During the show we worked extensively with Corrine Bundy, Mathews' marketing communications specialist, on several video promotions for Mathews' products. By the show's final morning on Day 3, Corrine knew without doubt that the show was Mathews' best yet.
"It was a great success for us," she said. "This was the fourth straight year of growth for the show. That kind of growth helps us carry out our mission for the show, which is to give retailers the tools they need to be as successful and profitable as possible."
Here Justin and I are working with our cameraman, Nick and Brandyn, along with Corrine Bundy to film a Holiday Gift Guide for the Mathews and Lost Camo websites.
While walking the show we saw a variety of innovative new products that will be hitting the market for 2012. Many of those products are geared towards accessorizing, and colorizing, your bow setup. Mathews has done a great job at offering colored accessories for their bow for several years now, and many manufacturers are following their lead with colored accessories of their own. One of the companies leading the charge in that arena is Pine Ridge Archery, who now has a variety of bow accessories in 8 different colors. From peep sights to kisser buttons and even a new stabilizer, it's never been easier to customize your bow setup any way you please.
Another interesting new product we came upon is the iBowsight. If you want to talk about innovation and technology in archery, this is it! The iBowsight uses a custom-designed bracket to hold your iPhone 4 or 4s and turn it into a full-fledged bow sight. Simply purchase and install the app on your phone and then mount it to your bow and you're off. The iBowsight may not be for everyone, but there's no doubt it' sure to fuel plenty of conversations. Click here to read a full review of the iBowsight.
In addition to a busy show floor, Mathews also delivered an impressive seminar lineup featuring industry experts to teach everything from bow tuning to retailing tips. And for evening entertainment, Mathews provided plenty of laughs from comedian Tim Hawkins.
Love it or hate it, the iBowsight is certainly a unique product.
As always, I was impressed with both the Mathews and Mission bow lineups, and think everyone will be impressed with the Heli-m. This bow gives you a super smooth draw and is the lightest bow ever offered by Mathews. Plus it's loaded with Mathews technology like the Reverse Assist Roller Guard, Harmonic Damper Lite, Harmonic Stabilizer and Geo Grid Lock Riser.
But I gotta tell you, one of the most amazing spectacles was the shoot-off tournament where about 500 people tried shooting bull's eyes with Mathews' Genesis bow. This is the bow used by thousands of youngsters nationwide in the National Archery in the Schools Program. Each show attendee was given one arrow, courtesy of Easton Archery, and had to try and shoot the foam bull's eye of a metal target. If you made it into the foam you advanced to the next round. If you missed, you were out. And no, I didn't win the event! I missed my first shot to earn an instant disqualification. Justin made it to the second round, but failed to advance to the third round. After 4 rounds of shooting we finally had a lucky winner, who got a free antelope hunt from our good friends at Table Mountain Outfitters.
The aftermath of the Iron Buck challenge.
It's always great to see kids who are enthusiastic about archery and hunting. Remember, they are the future of our sport!
Our next stop will be the ATA Trade Show, which runs Jan. 10-12 in Columbus, Ohio. As always, we'll be doing our best to cover the hot new bowhunting and archery products that are hitting the shelves in 2012. So be sure to keep an eye on Bowhunting.com as we'll be updating the website directly from the show to bring you the hottest new products before anyone else.

Only Natural Pet Kelp Boost just got even better. Now your dog needs less to reap the incredible benefits!
Holistic health practitioners have long known the inherent benefits of kelp, a large-leafed sea algae widely known as the most nourishing sea vegetable in our oceans. Humans have been using kelp as a natural food source and health booster for hundreds of years, and now your pet can benefit from it, too!
Only Natural Pet Kelp Boost is made from the highest quality 100% certified organic ocean kelp from Northern Iceland. Harvested with the strictest international standards for sustainability from the clean waters of Northwestern Iceland our kelp is then dried with a unique process that ensures all the minerals and organic substances are preserved.
Only Natural Pet Kelp Boost is a pure blend of Ascophyllum Nodosum & Laminaria Dgitata packed with essential trace minerals, vitamins and amino acids, many of which are likely to be missing from your dog's diet. The protein in kelp is highly bio-available, which allows your dog to efficiently assimilate its amino acids so they can go to work assisting in tissue repair and other vital body processes.
Only Natural Pet Kelp Boost helps support your dog's well being from the inside out aiding in normal digestion, good dental health and skin and coat wellness. Only Natural Pet Kelp Boost benefits also include:

This I like
By korens pugs
from nw indiana
I bought this as an additive to my 5 dogs food. They don't mind eating it, and it has helped with their dry skin in the winter time. Also, my male pugs face smell has improved since adding this into his diet.
A great addition to my dogs food!
By Erin
from Milton, VT
I purchased this product specifically for my 17 yr old mini dachshund. I have also been giving it to my 8.5 yr old mini doxie, 5.5 yr old Weimaraner and 17 week old Beagle mix. After almost finishing one container (doesnt take long with giving it to 4 dogs) I do see a difference in my old pup. He seems to have more pep in his step! All of the dogs seem to have better coats.(I feed them all Acana Pacifica) I will continue to purchase this product!

Great product!
By Melissa
from Mechanicsville, VA
The Only Natural Kelp Boost is working out really well for my dog.He's a senior with various health issues. I have seen a big difference in his energy level since I've added this to his diet. He walks longer distances and stays awake more. I was worried that it might upset his stomach but no problems with that. He eats it just fine. I'll buy this product again.

Great Product
By sandy
from NJ
I make my own dog food and treats and this a great added bonus for my dogs.
Great supplement!
By Chi Mommy
from Gretna, NE
I use Kelp Boost on the food (Wellness small breed dry) of my 4 long hair chihuahuas, one was biting her feet and itchy - her condition has subsided. ALL now have smooth and silky coats (their hair is like a cat) it is a noticeable difference. I have been using Kelp Boost about a year, and not EVERY day, but on a regular basis, and will continue to order. ONE PROBLEM:I just noticed that the old product was in a 1 LB container and now new packaging is only 8 oz, the old version was much more practical, why the switch? Is a great product! Highly recommend.
Seems to be helping adrenal problem
By Gina
from Anchorage, Alaska
Rosie, my dog, gets one half teaspoon in the morning and one half teaspoon in the evening. It is mixed with her food and she does not mind the taste. This product fits my budget.
Love the Kelp Boost and so do my dogs!
By DogMomTimes3
from Dayton, OH
I use this product every day and I have seen many benefits! My dogs are less itchy. They have a lot less gas, which makes my house smell a lot nicer! I am also glad because I no longer have to smell the room clearing gas that my Jack Russell used to produce almost on an hourly basis. Their coats are a lot shinier and they don't shed quite as much! I will continue buying this product!

Not sure how twitter works.
I'm Still hitting every local venue here in California with passing this bill.
Next is fliers and the Pier. How to type a letter so surfers can read it? lolDear casual surfer
Cowabuga Dude !! Hey did you know the government may ask you to pay a tax on the surf you ride on? Homeless on your Water ? Best chance to get people back to work and off your turf or surf is to vote in the H.R. 589 Emergency Unemployment Bill, for reals dude, its like so awesome.Signed support of the bill,
I was thinking of trying to get to Hawaii to do that myself :)
Come on 99ers lets keep fighting… Bless congress woman LEE! There has to be some Republicans that will back her up! The lord knows how hards its been for us. Lets all pray to the lord and await a fast and good report!
Income inequality: It wasn't always this way
In recent decades, the bulk of income growth in America has gone to the top 10% of families, but that was not always the case. Throughout most of the 20th Century, the bottom 90% claimed a much larger share of income growth than they have in recent years.
Between 1948 and 1979, a period of strong overall economic growth and productivity in the United States, the richest 10% of families accounted for 33% of average income growth, while the bottom 90% accounted for 67%. The overall distribution of income was stable for these three decades. In an extreme contrast, during the most recent economic expansion between 2000 and 2007, the period that led up to the Great Recession, the richest 10% accounted for a full 100% of average income growth.
But they scream how the rich need huge tax cuts while also screaming how they must cut lots of things that help the lower 90%.
This is why we need less federal government involvement. The bottom 90% has given power to the top 10%. If we stick to a strict construction of the constitution, then the states should be the ones making most of the laws and paying out most of the support. For example, if you want 113 weeks of UI, wouldn't it be easier to have 1 state vote on it instead of 50? Also, this is a good reason why we were never supposed to have a pure democracy (mob rule) but instead have a pure republic (rule of law). If each person can cast only 1 vote, it doesn't matter how much money you have if Bill Gates' vote counts as much as mine. The problem is, we've forgotten the people should be the ones voting on this in the state legislatures and we're letting the mob rule what does/doesn't happen.
c-span is just more pandering to a TV camera…..we know that :)
The views here have tippled in the past few hours. A good start.
I'll try to stay on topic most of the time :)…but Donny's latest blog post may be of interest to some. It was to me. You can find it right over there on the right side of the page >>>>>>
OK people, it is time for another plan!
How do we reach more of our 99er brethren, that more than likely are not online much, if at all, because they can't afford it?
Where can we find many (besides homeless camps)?
Answer: The local unemployment office!
I'll repost an article from my state on this board too to show what I am talking about.
"The jobless isolate themselves because we're ashamed," Dawn Bliesener told the crowd of about 20.
"We want to change that."
That's why Bliesener helped form the People's Center Jobs and Unemployment Crisis Committee. They meet weekly (Thursdays, 5 p.m., 37 Howe St., New Haven) and, "We will help you with rent, foreclosure, food, heating clothing. You name it, I will find it," says Bliesener. "We will help you with resumes, with finding jobs.
"I have been without. I know what it feels like."
Bliesener lied about her age to start working at age 14. Now, at 55, she says, "I've paid into the state of Connecticut and the federal government all those years. They're not giving me anything that's not mine. We do not sit around on a hammock waiting for a government check."
The first part didn't post for some reason. The next part goes first.
Solidarity Amid Connecticut's Unemployed
HAMDEN — Beth O'Connell earned $22 an hour at AT&T before she was laid off three years ago.
The mother of four has since lost her home, declared bankruptcy, moved in with her mother-in-law, and exhausted her 99 weeks of unemployment assistance.
After applying for hundreds of jobs and getting only a few interviews, she landed part-time employment as a lunch aide at an elementary school. She now earns minimum wage for 15 hours a week. There are no benefits, and if there's no school, there's no work.
"We want our benefits extended beyond 99 weeks," she said at a rally last week outside the state Department of Labor's office in Hamden. "We need help."
As O'Connell spoke, volunteers handed out flyers to people entering the Department of Labor. The flyers advertised a new group in New Haven that aimed to help the jobless get access to services and asked them to lobby U.S. Congress to extend unemployment benefits.
Here is the link,
Most of us have a unemployment/jobs center fairly close to us. We know who is walking through those doors.
If we can come up with a unified flyer to tell others how to join in the fight we can gain a lot of support I believe…
I assume you never "subcontracted".
No unemployment. No workers comp. No nothing.
It is a big scam many companies use to save big dollars while screwing the employees.
I don't know. I can't even see the post because I found you guys by clicking on "newest first" Frigging new-fangled stuff!
God help us if we ever get that IP tracking thing here too.
I'll have to put that one in the suggestion box too :)
People need to really realize what caused the recession and why it is not going to just fix by itself!!!They need to realize what the definition of a 99er really is:
With the exception of the COPY CAT 99ers (people taking advantage of the free money) 99ers are mostly a LARGE group of people that were chosen to be laid off 'FIRST' from SPECIALIZED TYPE POSITIONS in large prominent companies when and because of illegal RESIDENTIAL LENDING practices THE HOUSING MARKET CRUMBLED (hedge funds collapsed) …AFFECTING…. 69% of RESIDENTIAL builders (construction) and residential bankers WERE THE FIRST LAID OFF!! –(bank had to many foreclosures thus stopped giving out anymore RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION LOANS).these LAID OFF 99ERS were professional people who work in luxury industries;, ARCHITECTS, DESIGNERS OF ALL AREAS, MORTGAGE LOAN OFFICERS, ADVERTISING & MARKETING AGENTS, MANUFACTURING DESIGNERS PROFESSIONAL –
EXPENSIVE LUXURY CARS SALESMEN were next because – high paid professionals who got laid off could not afford these expensive cars…LARGE MANUFACTURING COMPANIES CHOSE TO LEAVE THE USA AND OUTSOURCE OVER SEAS IN ORDER TO STAY IN BUSINESS and so on and so on!
A huge domino effect if you will,,,,,
THESE 99ER PROFESSIONALS were the FIRST to be HIT BY THE RECESSION, and by the same RULE OF LAW OF MOTION will be THE LAST TO GO BACK TO WORK!..ALSO…it is a FACT THAT THE OLDER FOLKS were FIRST TO BE PICKED TO BE LAID OFF, FROM LARGER FIRMS, NOT SURE WHY THAT IS!!!

A's look to stay hot behind Gray against Mariners
Saunders gets the nod as Seattle tries to even series in Oakland
Despite his club's 14-game lead over its American League West rival, A's manager Bob Melvin is wary of the Mariners, Oakland's opponent on Tuesday night in the second game of a three-game series at O.co Coliseum. Seattle has a 8-6 record over Oakland this season, which Melvin credits to big bats and bad timing.
"They can hit. They hit homers. We saw that in Spring Training, and we saw it early in the season against us, too," Melvin said. "They've just played well against us. It seems like we get Felix [Hernandez] and [Hisashi] Iwakuma every time, too, and that's a difficult tandem to deal with all the time. Luckily, we're just getting Iwakuma this time."
Seattle has been a thorn in the side of all of its division opponents, with winning records against every club except Texas. Against the AL West, the Mariners are 29-26 overall and 4-1 in their last five road series.
Even though Oakland will miss Seattle ace Hernandez in this series, Tuesday night's starter, Joe Saunders, has proved to be trouble enough. Saunders has excelled against the A's, posting a 15-6 record with a 3.36 ERA. His 15 wins against the A's are his most against any opponent.
For the season, Saunders is 2-1 with a 3.12 ERA against Oakland.
The 32-year-old lefty has been in a funk lately, with a 7.28 ERA over his last six starts, while averaging fewer than five innings per start. In his last start, Saunders lasted just 4 1/3 innings, allowing five runs on seven hits against the Rays.
Mariners: Wedge expected to rejoin team
The club expects to receive a homecoming gift on its return to Seattle on Friday, the presence of manager Eric Wedge. The skipper has been away from the team since he had a mild stroke before a home game on July 22.
"He's champing at the bit to get back," acting manager Robby Thompson said. "He'll slowly get back into it, and we'll see how we work things out as far as that goes."
Athletics: Norris touts Gray
Sonny Gray is scheduled to make just his third big league start (fifth appearance) on Tuesday night. He notched his first Major League win on Thursday against the Astros, throwing eight shutout innings, allowing four hits with one walk and nine strikeouts.
Catching him will be Derek Norris, who is batting .400 over his last 12 games.
"He throws the ball outstanding, and he's a very exciting arm," Norris said. "I'm looking forward to catching him several hundred times."
Gray is 1-1 with a 1.00 ERA and 20 strikeouts in 18 innings pitched. He has allowed just 10 hits and five walks. All four of the runs he's allowed (two earned) came in a loss to the Blue Jays on Aug. 10.
Worth noting
• Kyle Seager is one home run short of becoming the first Mariners player to hit 20 in back-to-back seasons since Raul Ibanez did so in 2007-08.
• The A's have won four out of their last five contests since losing six of seven.
• With 25 home runs, Raul Ibanez is one shy of tying Barry Bonds for second-most by a player in their age-41 season. Ibanez has hit just one homer since the All-Star break.

Tigers looking to take care of business vs. Twins
Detroit's Ray set to face Milone in clash between AL Central rivals
The Tigers and Twins will meet on Friday night at Target Field for the first of 11 matchups over the regular season's final five weeks.
Detroit is coming off a series victory over Tampa Bay, but the club is still looking up at the American Central-leading Royals, who have a 1 1/2-game lead. The Tigers know they must take care of business against last-place Minnesota and can't expect a Kansas City collapse.
"I generally know what the score is of the game, but I don't delve into the box score," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "Not at this point. As we get closer to playing [Kansas City], if the game's on TV, I'll watch it on TV. We really need to take care of business here."
To start the four-game series, which will include a Saturday day-night doubleheader, the Tigers turn to Robbie Ray, who will be making just his sixth big league start. The 22-year-old southpaw hasn't won since his debut and has given up seven earned runs in 10 innings during his current stint.
Ray received little help from his defense in his last outing. Three Tigers' errors led to four unearned runs in that game against Seattle.
As the Twins try to embrace the role of spoiler, they'll hand the ball to another lefty in Tommy Milone. He'll be making his third start since being acquired from the A's at the non-waiver Trade Deadline in exchange for Sam Fuld.
Milone will be hoping for different results from his last outing in which nothing seemed to go right -- not even the weather. In a steady rain, he failed to get a solid grip on the ball and allowed six earned runs over a career-low 1 1/3 innings against the Royals.
"The weather was not conducive to pitching in that inning," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "It was raining pretty hard. He tried to pitch through it, but it was pretty much a mess. I don't think he had a feel for the ball."
Milone admitted he struggled to grip the ball.
" I was trying not to walk guys, so I just kept leaving it over the plate," he said. "It was pretty tough. It seemed like every time I got a new ball, it was just soaked. But it's just one of those where you try to forget about it."
Tigers: Verlander on target for Saturday
As Ausmus was giving his pregame interview on Thursday morning at Tropicana Field, Tigers starter Justin Verlander strode into his office, high-fived his manager and walked out without a word.
Translation: Verlander's bullpen session went well.
"I would think that the high-five symbolizes 'I'm starting on Saturday,'" Verlander said. "I haven't discussed that with him, though, but I think we all knew if everything went according to plan, I'd be starting Saturday. I don't see any reason why I wouldn't be."
Verlander threw about 35 pitches off the bullpen mound before the finale with Tampa Bay with no apparent setbacks. He felt good enough afterward to confirm his expectation of starting one half of the Tigers' doubleheader against the Twins on Saturday.
"It was pretty much everything I wanted today," Verlander said. "No issues. Everything felt good."
Twins: Pino to start Game 1 of twin bill
Right-hander Yohan Pino will be recalled from Triple-A Rochester to start Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire announced on Thursday.
The move was expected, as Pino will be pitching on regular rest after starting with the Red Wings on Monday, but it wasn't official until Thursday. Pino will be the club's designated 26th man on the roster, as both clubs get to carry an extra player for the twin bill.
"He'll start the first game and [Trevor] May will start the second game," Gardenhire said.
Worth noting
• Tigers left fielder J.D. Martinez celebrated his 27th birthday on Thursday. It wasn't a good day at the plate, as he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. He had played once before on his birthday, going 3-for-5 with a double and two RBIs against the Giants on August 21, 2011.

The New School for Social Research
The New School > The New School for Social Research NSSR > Politics of Violence
Apply Online | Contact
This course inquires into the relationship between politics and violence. It explores the centrality of violence to political power as articulated by early modern, modern, and contemporary political theorists. It investigates questions of individual and collective preservation, legality, legitimacy, and morality. It considers the implications of violent political action as a method of subjugation and resistance, as a logic of contestation, and as a form of self-expression by the dispossessed, drawing comparisons with non-violent resistance. It aims to distinguish between different forms of violence: crime, warfare, terrorism, revolutionary struggle, among others. The course focuses the theoretical discussion of violence on ongoing practices that are relevant to our political lives, ranging from capital punishment and torture to suicide attack and domestic abuse. Theorists include Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Marx, Bakunin, Arendt, Benjamin, Fanon, Gandhi, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King. Visual material and films will also be shown.

Hokay So. Since someone said they were unable to play Postal 2, I decided to give it a go. I have the 10th Anniversary version fwiw.
1. Mount the CD.
2. From the cd run ./linux_installer.sh --target (insert directory here). This will extract the installer's files to the target dir.
3. In the target dir edit setup.sh and on line 267 remove the "2" from setup.gtk2. Source
4. Run setup.sh.
This installed the game for me. I was able to run it and get into the game, but I had no sound.
To fix sound I had to install alsa-oss and then run it as aoss ./postal2. Now it works as intended. Source
This worked for me on Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit.
