Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time"The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line." Thus speaks W.E.B. Du Bois in The Souls Of Black Folk, one of the most prophetic and influental works in American literature. In this eloquent collection of essays, first published in 1903, Du Bois dares as no one has before to describe the magnitude of American racism and demand an end to it. He draws on his own life for illustration, from his early experiences teaching in the hills of Tennessee to the death of his infant son and his historic break with the conciliatory position of Booker T. Washington.
Far ahead of its time, The Souls Of Black Folk both anticipated and inspired much of the black conciousness and activism of the 1960's and is a classic in the literature of civil rights. The elegance of DuBois's prose and the passion of his message are as crucial today as they were upon the book's first publication. less

Between me and the other world there is ever an unasked question: unasked by some through feelings of delicacy; by others through the difficulty of rightly framing it. All, nevertheless, flutter round it. They approach me in a half-hesitant sort of way, eye me curiously or compassionately, and then, instead of saying directly, How does it feel to be a problem? they say, I know an excellent colored man in my town; or, I fought at Mechanicsville; or, Do not these Southern outrages make your blood boil? At these I smile, or am interested, or reduce the boiling to a simmer, as the occasion may require. To the real question, How does it feel to be a problem? I answer seldom a word.And yet, being a problem is a strange experience--peculiar even for one who has never been anything else, save perhaps in babyhood and in Europe. It is in the early days of rollicking boyhood that the revelation first bursts upon one, all in a day, as it were. I remember well when the shadow swept across me. I was a little thing, away up in the hills of New England, where the dark Housatonic winds between Hoosac and Taghkanic to the sea. In a wee wooden schoolhouse, something put it into the boys' and girls' heads to buy gorgeous visiting-cards--ten cents a package--and exchange. The exchange was merry, till one girl, a tall newcomer, refused my card,--refused it peremptorily, with a glance. Then it dawned upon me with a certain suddenness that I was different from the others; or like, mayhap, in heart and life and longing, but shut out from their world by a vast veil. I had thereafter no desire to tear down that veil, to creep through; I held all beyond it in common contempt, and lived above it in a region of blue sky and great wandering shadows. That sky was bluest when I could beat my mates at examination time, or beat them at a foot-race, or even beat their stringy heads. Alas, with the years all this fine contempt began to fade; for the worlds I longed for, and all their dazzling opportunities, were theirs, not mine. But they should not keep these prizes, I said; some, all, I would wrest from them. Just how I would do it I could never decide: by reading law, by healing the sick, by telling the wonderful tales that swam in my head,--some way. With other black boys the strife was not so fiercely sunny: their youth shrunk into tasteless sycophancy, or into silent hatred of the pale world about them and mocking distrust of everything white; or wasted itself in a bitter cry, Why did God make me an outcast and a stranger in mine own house? The shades of the prison-house closed round about us all: walls strait and stubborn to the whitest, but relentlessly narrow, tall, and unscalable to sons of night who must plod darkly on in resignation, or beat unavailing palms against the stone, or steadily, half hopelessly, watch the streak of blue above.
After the Egyptian and Indian, the Greek and Roman, the Teuton and Mongolian, the Negro is a sort of seventh son, born with a veil, and gifted with second sight in this American world--a world which yields him no true self-consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the revelation of the other world. It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one&rsquos self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity. One ever feels his twoness,--an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.
The history of the American Negro is the history of this strife,--this longing to attain self-conscious manhood, to merge his double self into a better and truer self. In this merging he wishes neither of the older selves to be lost. He would not Africanize America, for America has too much to teach the world and Africa. He would not bleach his Negro soul in a flood of white Americanism, for he knows that Negro blood has a message for the world. He simply wishes to make it possible for a man to be both a Negro and an American, without being cursed and spit upon by his fellows, without having the doors of Opportunity closed roughly in his face.
This, then, is the end of his striving: to be a co-worker in the kingdom of culture, to escape both death and isolation, to husband and use his best powers and his latent genius. These powers of body and mind have in the past been strangely wasted, dispersed, or forgotten. The shadow of a mighty Negro past flits through the tale of Ethiopia the Shadowy and of Egypt the Sphinx. Throughout history, the powers of single black men flash here and there like falling stars, and die sometimes before the world has rightly gauged their brightness. Here in America, in the few days since Emancipation, the black man's turning hither and thither in hesitant and doubtful striving has often made his very strength to lose effectiveness, to seem like absence of power, like weakness. And yet it is not weakness,--it is the contradiction of double aims. The double-aimed struggle of the black artisan--on the one hand to escape white contempt for a nation of mere hewers of wood and drawers of water, and on the other hand to plough and nail and dig for a poverty-stricken horde--could only result in making him a poor craftsman, for he had but half a heart in either cause. By the poverty and ignorance of his people, the Negro minister or doctor was tempted toward quackery and demagogy; and by the criticism of the other world, toward ideals that made him ashamed of his lowly tasks. The would-be black savant was confronted by the paradox that the knowledge his people needed was a twice-told tale to his white neighbors, while the knowledge which would teach the white world was Greek to his own flesh and blood. The innate love of harmony and beauty that set the ruder souls of his people a-dancing and a-singing raised but confusion and doubt in the soul of the black artist; for the beauty revealed to him was the soul-beauty of a race which his larger audience despised, and he could not articulate the message of another people. This waste of double aims, this seeking to satisfy two unreconciled ideals, has wrought sad havoc with the courage and faith and deeds of ten thousand thousand people,--has sent them often wooing false gods and invoking false means of salvation, and at times has even seemed about to make them ashamed of themselves.
Away back in the days of bondage they thought to see in one divine event the end of all doubt and disappointment; few men ever worshipped Freedom with half such unquestioning faith as did the American Negro for two centuries. To him, so far as he thought and dreamed, slavery was indeed the sum of all villainies, the cause of all sorrow, the root of all prejudice; Emancipation was the key to a promised land of sweeter beauty than ever stretched before the eyes of wearied Israelites. In song and exhortation swelled one refrain--Liberty; in his tears and curses, the God he implored had Freedom in his right hand. At last it came,&mdashsuddenly, fearfully, like a dream. With one wild carnival of blood and passion came the message in his own plaintive cadences:--
'Shout, O children!
Shout, you're free!
For God has bought your liberty!'
Years have passed away since then,--ten, twenty, forty; forty years of national life, forty years of renewal and development, and yet the swarthy spectre sits in its accustomed seat at the Nation's feast. In vain do we cry to this our vastest social problem:--
'Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves
Shall never tremble!'
The Nation has not yet found peace from its sins; the freedman has not yet found in freedom his promised land. Whatever of good may have come in these years of change, the shadow of a deep disappointment rests upon the Negro people,--a disappointment all the more bitter because the unattained ideal was unbounded save by the simple ignorance of a lowly people.
The first decade was merely a prolongation of the vain search for freedom, the boon that seemed ever barely to elude their grasp,--like a tantalizing will-o'-the-wisp, maddening and misleading the headless host. The holocaust of war, the terrors of the Ku-Klux Klan, the lies of carpetbaggers, the disorganization of industry, and the contradictory advice of friends and foes, left the bewildered serf with no new watchword beyond the old cry for freedom. As the time flew, however, he began to grasp a new idea. The ideal of liberty demanded for its attainment powerful means, and these the Fifteenth Amendment gave him. The ballot, which before he had looked upon as a visible sign of freedom, he now regarded as the chief means of gaining and perfecting the liberty with which war had partially endowed him. And why not? Had not votes made war and emancipated millions? Had not votes enfranchised the freedmen? Was anything impossible to a power that had done all this? A million black men started with renewed zeal to vote themselves into the kingdom. So the decade flew away, the revolution of 1876 came, and left the half-free serf weary, wondering, but still inspired. Slowly but steadily, in the following years, a new vision began gradually to replace the dream of political power,--a powerful movement, the rise of another ideal to guide the unguided, another pillar of fire by night after a clouded day. It was the ideal of 'book-learning'; the curiosity, born of compulsory ignorance, to know and test the power of the cabalistic letters of the white man, the longing to know. Here at last seemed to have been discovered the mountain path to Canaan; longer than the highway of Emancipation and law, steep and rugged, but straight, leading to heights high enough to overlook life.
Up the new path the advance guard toiled, slowly, heavily, doggedly; only those who have watched and guided the faltering feet, the misty minds, the dull understandings of the dark pupils of these schools know how faithfully, how piteously, this people strove to learn. It was weary work. The cold statistician wrote down the inches of progress here and there, noted also where here and there a foot had slipped or some one had fallen. To the tired climbers, the horizon was ever dark, the mists were often cold, the Canaan was always dim and far away. If, however, the vistas disclosed as yet no goal, no resting-place, little but flattery and criticism, the journey at least gave leisure for reflection and self-examination; it changed the child of Emancipation to the youth with dawning self-consciousness, self-realization, self-respect. In those sombre forests of his striving his own soul rose before him, and he saw himself,--darkly as through a veil; and yet he saw in himself some faint revelation of his power, of his mission. He began to have a dim feeling that, to attain his place in the world, he must be himself, and not another. For the first time he sought to analyze the burden he bore upon his back, that dead-weight of social degradation partially masked behind a half-named Negro problem. He felt his poverty; without a cent, without a home, without land, tools, or savings, he had entered into competition with rich, landed, skilled neighbors. To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships. He felt the weight of his ignorance,--not simply of letters, but of life, of business, of the humanities; the accumulated sloth and shirking and awkwardness of decades and centuries shackled his hands and feet. Nor was his burden all poverty and ignorance. The red stain of bastardy, which two centuries of systematic legal defilement of Negro women had stamped upon his race, meant not only the loss of ancient African chastity, but also the hereditary weight of a mass of corruption from white adulterers, threatening almost the obliteration of the Negro home.
A people thus handicapped ought not to be asked to race with the world, but rather allowed to give all its time and thought to its own social problems. But alas! while sociologists gleefully count his bastards and his prostitutes, the very soul of the toiling, sweating black man is darkened by the shadow of a vast despair. Men call the shadow prejudice, and learnedly explain it as the natural defence of culture against barbarism, learning against ignorance, purity against crime, the 'higher' against the 'lower' races. To which the Negro cries Amen! and swears that to so much of this strange prejudice as is founded on just homage to civilization, culture, righteousness, and progress, he humbly bows and meekly does obeisance. But before that nameless prejudice that leaps beyond all this he stands helpless, dismayed, and well-nigh speechless; before that personal disrespect and mockery, the ridicule and systematic humiliation, the distortion of fact and wanton license of fancy, the cynical ignoring of the better and the boisterous welcoming of the worse, the all-pervading desire to inculcate disdain for everything black, from Toussaint to the devil,--before this there rises a sickening despair that would disarm and discourage any nation save that black host to whom 'discouragement' is an unwritten word.

Discover an alternate history to the human race as the authors of Forbidden Archeology challenge one of the most fundamental components of the modern scientific world view. Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson discuss the work of researchers who, over the past 2 centuries, have found bones and artifacts showing that people like ourselves existed on earth millions of years ago. They explain how the scientific establishment has ignored these remarkable facts because they contradict the dominant views of human origins and antiquity.

"great information but need another narrator"
anything from Michael Cremo or Steve Quayle.
great book great information but the Narration will put you to sleep. have to force yourself to pay attention. This is a great book.
This book deserves a narrator with a more teaching way of speaking. sounds like she's reading to herself.
"Good information read poorly."
This woman needs to read bedtime stories and nothing but bedtime stories.
"Narrator's voice was monotone"
The narrating sounded very robot like and made it difficult to focus on the story. It also states that it is 2Hrs 30min long but when it started it showed 1hr48 min on my mp3 player.
I am a fan of both fiction and non-fiction with a recent bias toward fiction, possibly due to my history background. ]
This book makes some interesting points but it would be better if you had the written version so you could check the sources. There are a lot of sources. It reminds us of a lesson that all sciences should pay attention to. Don't get locked into a particular interpretation of the facts. Leave room for further discoveries. Seems obvious but apparently it still happens all the time. And not just in archeology.
The audio quality is not as good as other audible books. I have to adjust the speakers in my vehicle to hear the woman's voice over road noise. And as other reviewers have noted she does a poor job of reading. She sounds like a spokesperson for a large bank. She must be getting paid by the word, she seems to be in a hurry to get through it.
Audio is disconcerting but the information is still worth it.
"Forbidden Archeology"
The information in this book is explosive to the standard archeological understanding. When you read this you will be ashamed of the coverup that science has put over on us for over a hundred years. After listening to the book I am now going to purchase the hard copy. What every your view about evolutionary theory you owe it to yourself to get this. Some of the information I had heard before but chapter after chapter gave me new facts to explore. I have listened to it now several times. It is great. I hope Audible will offer Cremo's new book on the impact of the 1998 publication in the scientific community.
"Real Science"
This is a great book that challenges the establishment and the politics of science. Science has always been handicapped by the overbearing personalities trying to keep their theories alive for personal gain. This book is not only a good source of information but an interesting point of view on the politics of science. It's good to keep this perspective in mind when debating current hot topic science/political issues like Global warming and Evolution.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Wanna learn about moto specs
More than just telling me which motors you'd recommend in a given craft, can someone point me to an article or discussion that explains how to determine what will work well? I really want to understand the specs for motors and what kind of lift I can expect from a set of motors/ESCs/props.
I'd like to build a 60-70cm- hexcopter initially using a kk2.0 for control and a turnigy x9 rx/tx. Eventually, I plan to switch over to an arducopter board. I want a good solid platform with plenty of lift so I can heft a FVP system and as a platform for some serious tinkering. (I'd like to play with sonic obstacle detection.) A friend is planning a similar system, but wants to go a bit bigger and octo to start. Although both of us have experience flying both fixed wing and rotor rc, neither of us know how to determine what motors, esc's and props to use on a given project. |

>>More than just telling me which motors you'd recommend in a given craft, can someone point me to an article or discussion that explains how to determine what will work well? I really want to understand the specs for motors and what kind of lift I can expect from a set of motors/ESCs/props.<<
Unfortunately that can be quite difficult without getting into all the math. However if you browse around you can get a very general idea on what may work on various applications. Then the rest will depend on some personal experiment unless you are fairly close in duplicating what some one else has used. That is the reason why sometimes posters will ask for specific hardware and their compatibilities. >>I'd like to build a 60-70cm- hexcopter initially using a kk2.0 for control and a turnigy x9 rx/tx.<< The only thing that matters to what motors and prop to use will be the final projected weight of your project. 60 to 70 cm hexa can have a pretty large range. You can use 6 each 2216 size motors and some 10" props to some 2820 size motors and some 13" props. The weight difference will be substantial. You may be using skinny 12mm round tubes for arms or up to 21mm Trex 700 tail booms for arms. >> Eventually, I plan to switch over to an arducopter board. << Again the flight controller is a flight controller. They all work once you know how to tune them properly. >>I want a good solid platform with plenty of lift so I can heft a FVP system and as a platform for some serious tinkering. (I'd like to play with sonic obstacle detection.)<< As least you are not talking about lifting a Canon 5D mark 2 like most other posters. >>A friend is planning a similar system, but wants to go a bit bigger and octo to start.<< The number of motors do not necessarily translate into size. you can have a tiny Octo or a very big quad. >> Although both of us have experience flying both fixed wing and rotor rc, neither of us know how to determine what motors, esc's and props to use on a given project.<< That is a great start. At least you know about RC in general and how it works. The multi rotor motors are really more focused on kV or RPM per volt as you know from your single main rotor helicopters. However since the multi rotor uses motor to drive the propeller directly a lower kV motor is more desirable. Through the history of electric flight motor sizing has been the most non-standardized situation. Most manufacturers come up with all kinds of way to name their motors which is very confusing for users. In the older brushed motors days you have motor sizes such as 700, 600, 500, 480, 380, 280 etc. Then some brushless motors started using the same number system and they still do. For example if you look at some of the motors sold by Hobby King it will same a Park480. Same thing if you look at some eRC motors sold by Hobby Lobby. However most other motors start to use a different numbering system. Some use a four digit number which signifies the stator size and the kV after the dash. Some manufacturers will number their motors by the outer diameter of the motor can. Regardless almost all motors used in multi rotors are outrunner because they generally have a lower kV. You also start to see more and more pancake outrunner motors which give even lower kV plus higher torque. For me the simplest so far is to find the stator size of the motor and and the kV and I use them as a reference. The taller the motor the more powerful. The bigger the diameter the more torque. The kV pretty much is governed by the windings and if you get into the specific of the windings it gets even more confusing. You have single wire wind, multi wire wind and you can connect the three phase in a Y configuration or a delta configuration. All of those will dictate the rpm per volt. So it is much simpler to temporarily ignore the winding informations and just find out about the kV. To start the 22mm diameter stator is the most popular for a mid size multi rotor. The smaller 22mm diameter 8mm tall motors are the smaller work horses for smaller machines or larger machines with 6 to 8 of them together. They can spin some 8" props on 3 cells. These are good for 18" diameter quads. The 2216mm are the mid size motors for mid size machines. They are about the most popular for a 20" diameter quad to 22" quad. They are great for 10" props. on 3 or 4 cells. Then you get the 2814 motors which are starting to get a bit larger. They generally like 4 cell battery if the kV is in the 700 to 800 rpm per volt range. 11" to 12" props are the normal. These can power quads around 26" to 32" diameter. Then you have the 2820 motors which are the power house for heavy lift machines. They swing any where from 13" props to 15" props. 4 of these can lift a DSLR. 6 to 8 of these can lift a fairly heavy movie camera. As far as kV range. You want to stay with 3 cells pack when you use motors in the 900 to 1200 kV range. From 800 kV to 900 kV you may consider trying either 3 cells or 4 cells pack to see which works better. For 600 kV to 800 kV you need 4 cells to generate enough RPM for lift. So that is a really simplified and general summary of some of the motors we use. One thing to play is to try eCalc and plug in different motors and check out what thrust they say you will get. That way you can have a general idea. Just be aware that eCalc may not be the most precise tool and you do need to do some experimenting to fine tune your setup. |
This may also help you: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...10&postcount=3 > Motor and ESC > Tip 10
Motors and props depends on it. What is the common all-up weight of a 60-70cm hexa with FPV gear, I don't know, maybe 2000g. Owners of such set-ups could give more precise values. At hover, motor-prop combo efficiency is usually between 7 and 8 g/W. For 2000g you need 2000/7.5 = 267W You will have 6 motors = 45W per motor. Motors max power depends of your flying style. If soft, it should be 2.5 times hover power = 110W (each motor max power) If more dynamic, 3 times = 135W If acro, 4 times = 180W Secondly, you will have to choose the right prop for your motor. It has to give you access to the full power of your motor, no less no more, and a good efficiency at hover. There are tests and calculators to help you with that. Enjoy! I have forgotten: KV between 700 and 1000, props probably 10X4.7. |
This needs to be stickied or something. This is more information on motor selection in one place than I have seen in another thread in RCgroups.
Also, for the easy part, once you have a motor picked select an ESC with a higher max amperage than the max amperage the motor is rated for. |

Great putter. Improved my short game quite a bit and the white and red looks great.
I picked up this putter in the used rack at a discount retailer. I also bought a bottle of WHITEOUT, for correcting document errors. Touched it up. The balance and face design are excellent, and makes the Smoke a very good fast green putter! Adapting at the low price was easy!
good putter. white paint chips easy
Well for the price, I didn't mind a few scratches, love the putter. This rolls pretty stinking accurate @ short distant 6 to 10 ft. great site GG everything I've ordered have been on time and great shape, if I wanted flawless golf Equipment I would have bought new(just say'n) happy golf'n peeps..
I got this putter looking for something decent that is affordable. I enjoy using it and am surprised how accurate I am with it. It did come chipped up a bit but thats to expect with a used item but it doesn't bother me, it gets the job done.

Manchester Crimewatch: Teen accused of violating bail conditions twice
Wachenfeld was first in court Oct. 21, when he pleaded innocent to a simple assault charge that alleged he had grabbed his his girlfriend by the neck and shoved her into a wall two days earlier. His $1,000 personal recognizance bail was continued, including conditions barring contact with the alleged victim. He told the judge that day that the alleged victim showed up at his work and had contacted his his mother. Trial was set for Dec. 16.
In his application for a court-appointed lawyer, Austin Scottile, 23, of 472 Granite St., said he isn't earning any money. Scottile was applying for a lawyer to represent him in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on two misdemeanor charges of theft by unauthorized taking.
When Officer John Levasseur arrived, he reported seeing Scottile carrying two aluminum ladders. Based on further examination, Levasseur determined the ladders Scottile was carrying were stolen from residences on Laurel and Merrimack streets.
Scottile complained to Judge William Lyons that the proposed bail was too high. "I do work," he said, but only earns $100 to $150 a week. Lyon, noting Scottile said on his application for a lawyer that he's not earning any money, asked if Scottile was "not being truthful" on the sworn document.Scottile recovered quickly, telling Lyons: "I just didn't read it right." Lyons set bail at the requested $1,000 cash/surety and trial was set for Dec. 11.
Christopher Michael Audet, 53, of 92 Walnut St., could enter no plea Wednesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to a second-degree assault charge that alleges he covered the nose and mouth of his girlfriend, causing her breathing to be impeded.
Speeding, drug arrest
Police responding to reports of a vehicle speeding up and down the alley in the area of Union and Central streets Tuesday night were directed to a red SUV parked in the rear of a Laurel Street address.
The man was identified as Terrence Goodson, 40, of 96 River Road.
Horn suspected Goodson had been trying to hide from him in the passageway and when Horn checked more closely, he found a pair of gloves on the ground. In one of the gloves was a baggie containing suspected crack cocaine.
Already on probation
Crystal Gosselin, 25, of 264 Mason St., was arraigned Wednesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on a felony forgery charge. Gosselin is accused of forging a check totaling almost $475 on the business account of Giovanni's on S. Willow Street Sept. 22, 2012.

Tulsa formally joins old Big East
TULSA, Okla. -- Tulsa officials say they've accepted an invitation to join the soon-to-be-renamed Big East Conference beginning in 2014.
The Golden Hurricane, who joined Conference USA in 2005 after leaving the WAC, won last year's football championship in the league and recently won the women's basketball tournament title while hosting both hoops tourneys. The school announced the decision Tuesday.
The renamed Big East will have 12 members in 2015 when Navy joins for football only. Among that group will be seven ex-Conference USA teams: Tulsa, Tulane, East Carolina, Central Florida, SMU, Houston and basketball power Memphis.
Last week, Tulsa hired Derrick Gragg as its new athletic director. He replaces Ross Parmley, who was fired amid gambling allegations.
The school participates in 18 intercollegiate sports.

Kids Who Produce News Become Better Citizens
More than half of the high schools in America have a school newspaper or a video production course. How can these programs be used to encourage citizenship and improve the media landscape of the future? We've developed a curriculum and a youth national news platform that enables middle and high school students to produce video reports on important national topics that impact their local communities. In this panel, we'll share research evidence that examines how video journalism production can help young people learn how to collaborate, compromise and analyze information from competing sources; gain confidence in themselves as capable and socially responsible citizens; and discover the power of storytelling and high-quality journalism. A group of students from Austin will discuss their experience participating in PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Labs, and scholar Renee Hobbs will share her survey and preliminary results.
Additional Supporting Materials
Questions Answered

Today I posted 11 times in the Smart Health Shop Forum. But none of my posts got counted. I posted in other forums also, and they were showing in the stats. But the posts I made in this forum was not showing. Is this a temporary problem or something worse? Till yesterday, I was having no problem with this forum. Now suddenly my posts are not getting counted.
It looks like we had a bug when the number of subscribers reached a certain amount in a forum. This has been fixed now, and your posts/points at Smart Health Shop are now accurate.

Falcetti, E. and Milner, S. (1999) The currency denomination of public debt and the choice of the monetary regime. CEPDP, 427. Centre for Economic Performance, London School of Economics and Political Science, London, UK.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This paper examines the interactions between monetary regimes and public debt management. The analysis shows that delegation of monetary policy to an independent central bank is more effective in containing inflationary expectations than the use of foreign currency or price-indexed debt. If delegation of monetary policy is viable, the optimal policy is to issue conventional debt so as to reduce the cost of supply shocks and thus the need for policy accommodation. The role of debt management changes in a fixed exchange regime, since foreign currency debt may enhance the credibility of the peg. However, if a crisis nevertheless materialises, it would be worse than had foreign debt not been issued. Empirical evidence on the EMS appears to support this result. Probit estimates show that the decision to issue foreign currency debt significantly reduced the likelihood of an official realignment within the ERM. However, conditional on a crisis taking place, those countries that increased the share of foreign currency debt experienced larger devaluation sizes.

Is there a bigger sign of the divergent paths their careers have taken than knowing Kobe Bryant was hanging with Kanye West and Mos Def last week, and the last we saw of Shaq he was with Justin Bieber?
As the people who have not unfollowed Kanye's shoutout-heavy twitter account knew (or as you can see from the photo), Kobe was indeed the studio with Kanye last weekend, while Kanye is remixing and reworking Power. We're sure it's a doctor's part of his knee rehab, or he wouldn't be doing it. Right? Or maybe, just maybe, Kobe likes to have fun now and again too, he just doesn't do a television show about it.
Kobe was actually in hanging out and talking about the philosophy of power.
Kobe wins, Kobe is a killer on the court, so he has the cred to hang with whomever he wants. He's earned it (not because of his hip hop efforts). Plus, Kanye said it and said it in all caps so you know it's true:

these niCCas got as much power as you or me,if not less. ALL OF US VALUABLY POWERFUL. Use your power your chosen way, but, money and fame aint the source of true power. niCCa, low endz don't mean we stupid. get a grip kid! freal. n i'll b shocked if they let this comment on. Less b real. f the bs. Kanye and JayZ could care less about the people they sum greedy hoes and the streets know. the muck outta here liars. Filthy arms too short to box with God. 1love! mo steF!

Books, Montreal
2 Reviews
2 Reviews
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear:
The province of Quebec including Montreal is a french-canadian province, therefore french is widely spoken. In the tourist area english is well known, but a French Dictionary can be very helpful. It is always useful to be able to speak some phrases in the local language.
Miscellaneous: To explore Quebecs big cities Montreal and Quebec City an up to date guidebook is very useful. I had the Fodors guide, which is updated every year. It describes the things to see and do and lists accomodations and restaurants in all price ranges. Last but not least it includes a detailed map with streetfinder.

Israel's new ambassador to Egypt presented his credentials at a ceremony in Cairo.
Yaacov Amitai is the first Israeli envoy named to Egypt since the ousting of Hosni Mubarak one year ago.
The Israeli national anthem was played at Monday's ceremony, as is customary, as were the national anthems of the 13 other ambassadors that presented their credentials to Field Marshal Mohammad Hussein Tantawi, chairman of the Supreme Council of the Egyptian Armed Forces, according to Israel's Foreign Ministry.
The Foreign Ministry said the presentation of credentials was held in "a cordial atmosphere."
During speeches at the ceremony, both Amitai and Tantawi emphasized the importance of the peace agreement and cooperation between the two countries.
"I will do everything I can to enhance understanding and to foster cooperation between Israel and Egypt," Amitai said.
Amitai replaces Yitzhak Levanon, who left his post three months ago. The Israeli Embassy building in Cairo has been closed since it was attacked in September by Egyptian rioters.

OMB's 'those-who-shall-not-be-named' — Kundra and now Noveck
Thursday - 2/26/2009, 12:52pm EST
The joke going around the Office of Management and Budget these days is referring to Vivek Kundra as "Voldemort" Kunda — and no, not because he is evil but because he can only be referred to as "You-Know-Who" or "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named."
Kundra, the DC CTO, has all but been appointed to be the OMB administrator of e-government and information technology. But that happened weeks ago but is still not yet official. But there is a curious Kundra conundrum. I was talking to one former OMBers who told me that he could not collect a federal paycheck until he was officially appointed. That lead some to speculate that he was still on the DCpayroll. But insiders are saying that, in fact, Kundra has been sworn in and is on the OMB payroll — yet still not announced?
There is another significant appointment that apparently falls in the "She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" category: Beth Simone Noveck. Noveck is a law professor at New York Law School and is apparently working in the Office of Science and Technology Policy. I have posted her bio after the break, but… Noveck worked on the Patent and Trademark Office's "Community Patent Review project in collaboration with the United States patent and Trademark Office (www.peertopatent.org). Peer-to-Patent is the legal, policy and software framework to open patent examination for public participation for the first time."
The White House has made some key appointments. For example, the White House named Macon Phillips as the White House director of new media — again, something that everybody knew. There are a number of other people in the new media team including, of course, Katie Jacobs Stanton.
Read Noveck's full bio and some of the other senior agency appointments… after the break
An expert on the impact of technology on legal and political institutions, Beth Simone Noveck directs the Institute for Information Law & Policy (http://www.nyls.edu/infolaw), New York Law School's center for the study of intellectual property, technology and information law. Prof. Noveck teaches in the areas of intellectual property, innovation and constitutional law as well as courses on electronic democracy and electronic government.
Beth Simone Noveck pioneered the creation of the Democracy Design Workshop, a collaborative "do tank," where students and faculty at New York Law School and across institutions work together in teams to develop legal code and software code to foster open, transparent and collaborative ways of learning, working and governing. The Do Tank (http://dotank.nyls.edu) is a first-of-its kind legal R&D lab where lawyers innovate, harnessing the new tools of information and communications to the goals of social justice. Projects address, not only how law regulates technology, but how to wield technology to improve law teaching and practice, encourage participatory governance and enable collaboration within organizations and communities.
With the support of grants from the MacArthur Foundation, Omidyar Network, CA, IBM, Microsoft, HP, GE, Intellectual Ventures and Red Hat, Professor Noveck launched the Peer to Patent: Community Patent Review project in collaboration with the United States patent and Trademark Office (www.peertopatent.org). Peer-to-Patent is the legal, policy and software framework to open patent examination for public participation for the first time. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Council of Europe andAmericaSpeaks have sponsored her research on online communities by funding the Cairns Project, graphical software to support group formation and collaboration. She also received a grant fromICAIR to support the creation of Democracy Island, an experimental space within a virtual world for research on citizen participation.
Prof. Noveck is the founder and organizer of the State of Play conferences, the annual event on virtual worlds research. With the support of the Maya Foundation, she launched the State of Play Academy, a virtual world space for democratizing legal education by teaching law to non-lawyers. The Academy is also an experimental space for studying the impact of virtual worlds on learning and teaching.
Professor Noveck is a founder of Bodies Electric LLC, developer of the Unchat software for realtime structured and democratic group deliberation in cyberspace. She is a member of the ABA's Commission on Electronic Rulemaking and the OMB Watch Taskforce on Transparency and Public Participation in Government. She is a member of the Legal Expert Network of the Institute for the Study of the Information Society and Technology (Insites) at the Carnegie Mellon Heinz School of Public Policy and Management, a member of the editorial board for First Monday (www.firstmonday.org), I/S: A Journal of Law and Policy for the Information Society, and of the advisory board of the International Journal for Communications Law and Policy(IJCLP). She is a member of the advisory board of the Nanyang Technical University Centre on Asia Pacific Technology Law and Policy (CAPTEL) in Singapore, where she visited as a Fulbright Senior Specialist and co-editor of the book series, (NYU Press) and blogs at The Cairns Blog, available at http://cairns.typepad.com.

each month we focus on a different genre.i talk about the genre and build it up--even my least favorite, ugh, historical fiction.
my read aloud book is from this genre, the stories or novel we read that month is from the genre, and so is the book of their choosing for their book report.
my book reports change from time to time--like this year, i want to change one to a powerpoint presentation...

Off Road Routes for Beginner Ottawa Area
Hi, New to off road and need lots of practice...I would like to know of some off road trails I can ride on, get comfortable with and that are within the Ottawa area....don't mind driving a bit to get there..just want to know where these routes are.....I need to ask because i just can't GO and ride somewhere....I might get shot at......so if you can give me a list of some trails, I would really appreciate it......seems most groups are already formed so i'll have to get out on my own...
thanks for your help TJ |
Hey, try Limerick Forest, just north of Prescott, ON. It's a bit of a hike but worth the ride. South to Spencerville, east towards Roebuck. http://www.limerickforest.ca/en/ Tons of single track, pits, etc.
- Chris |
thanks very much... |
Airport Pits off of Leitrim Rd.
Nothing crazy technical, lots of soft sandy landing areas for those inevitable spills and a good place to practice slower speed drills. not a huge amount of "trails" but enough to make it interesting. Just be respectful of other users like dog walkers, runners, bikers, etc. Great for those days when you only have a hour or two to get out and don't want to do a ton of slab to get offroad. https://maps.google.com/maps?q=45.30...18904&t=h&z=15 |
thanks much....not too far from home either...
tj |
are you planning to practice on a gs1200av?
yes, I haven't much choice since this is the only bike I have.........
Start with good gravel to get a feel for it. If you wanna come my direction, I can meet you in Westport, give a good taste, maybe some pointers. |
thanks for the tip....the bike is away now but if you're still available in the spring, I will certainly take advantage of your kind offer... thanks TJ |
Great place to learn is the Marlborough forest near Richmond. Nice double track trails and nothing difficult. Just watch some of the trails get pretty wet.
Tons of fun gravel roads around too. California road is a blast! And why is your bike away? Still riding to be done! :ricky |
Limerick on a 1200gs...not much fun. Did it this year with a friend. Me on my 800gs and my bud on an HP2. Super narrow single track that winds back on itself endlessly. On a big bike it is fun for 10 minutes. The bigger tracks are OK but you can find that in a lot of places.

(1.) Formerly Crenides, "the fountain," the capital of the province of Macedonia. It stood near the head of the Sea, about 8 miles north-west of Kavalla. It is now a ruined village, called Philibedjik. Philip of Macedonia fortified the old Thracian town of Crenides, and called it after his own name Philippi (B.C. 359-336). In the time of the Emperor Augustus this city became a Roman colony, i.e., a military settlement of Roman soldiers, there planted for the purpose of controlling the district recently conquered. It was a "miniature Rome," under the municipal law of Rome, and governed by military officers, called duumviri, who were appointed directly from Rome. Having been providentially guided thither, here Paul and his companion Silas preached the gospel and formed the first church in Europe. (See LYDIA.)
