PDA View Full Version : Thinking of a Kahr PM40.....anyone here own one? xy914201-14-2013, 20:50Currently have a G27. Really like the size of the PM40. Anyone own one? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk border bandit3201-14-2013, 22:13Dont hav the for'te But my pm9 has been great my favorite ccw! peterj01-14-2013, 22:29Don't own one but I've shot one; it reminded me why I don't own one. hogship01-14-2013, 22:30Don't have the PM.....but have the MK in for'te....... reliable, hidable......heavier. ooc http://pic50.picturetrail.com/VOL431/781008/1401653/392973217.jpg done chasing01-15-2013, 00:44I own the PM40, the PM9 and PM45. Of the three, I prefer to carry the PM45...much bigger bullet! But to answer the OP questions, the PM40 is a nice small, easy to conceal weapon. Can be pocket carried if needed, but I carry OWB. A little "snappy" but that's the .40 cal recoil. No problems with FTE or FTF issues. Get one if you can, you will not be sorry. cowboywannabe01-15-2013, 01:16i have a PM9 and a PM45. id buy another PM9, im willing to trade off my PM45. Bob Hafler01-15-2013, 06:23Don't much care for the 40 Caliber round especially in a small pistol. I'd say go with the PM9 or PM45. For the size of the pistol the 9mm round is a nice fit. Love my PM9. Been my EDC for 2 years. bhk01-15-2013, 08:20I have one and love it. No functional problems and it is very easy to shoot accurately. km62501-15-2013, 11:50Hello all: I owned a Kahr PM-40. It was a great gun, loved it, but it came with a curse. One day I went to use it at the range, loaded it, chambered a round, pulled the trigger, pulled it again, and again. The trigger had come detached and did nothing but move back and worth, no bang. Took it apart, noticed nothing unusual when I put it back together, then it worked for about 50 rounds. Called Kahr and spoke to their rep (Dotty, Dorothy, something like that.) Telling her the problem she pointed out that there was a problem with that model--but that I had fixed it. I pointed out that it died again about 50 rounds later and she told me to send it in. Promised a two-week turnaround, I was irritated as two weeks became three and then four, and still no gun. When the Kahr did arrive home I saw that the repair order said nothing about a malfunctioning trigger! Curious about this, I called Kahr and was told that the trigger worked perfectly and the gun was 100% perfect. That "perfection" lasted about 20 rounds.... KM PS: The PM-40 came back with the barrel damaged by someone attempting to polish the hood on a wheel and leaving round indents on the top. Their rep said that they did not due that just tested the gun and sent it back to me. kalashluvr01-15-2013, 12:20I've had one a few years. A bit snappy....great for concealment though. The initial followers that came with the mags ended up breaking but so far the replacements have been fine. Trigger is awesome but long reset like a revolver. Posted using Outdoor Hub Campfire (http://www.outdoorhub.com/mobile/) Cherokee Slim01-15-2013, 12:36I've had both. I got rid of the G27 fairly quickly, it was just too big, compared to the next size up Glock. The PM40 I carried for several years. It was easy to carry/hide. It never malfunctioned. I only got rid of it when I tried to standardize .45acp as my only carry caliber. Cherokee Slim vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.

Letter to the editor: Lies and more lies
Robert G. Baggott, Wichita Falls
Mark Twain was once quoted, "If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're misinformed."
It's been several weeks since Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others were murdered in Benghazi. Across the Middle East and Africa, American embassies, consulates and businesses have been burned or besieged by mobs. The black al-Qaida flag was raised over several embassies.
The current administration's response was a campaign of deceit. "It is the video, stupid," and "the USA is sorry," was the constant drum beat by the Secretary of State and the president.
Included was U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice's apology tour on the Sunday TV talk shows. In the Middle East — apology, groveling, and appeasement were unacceptable — riots continued.
The American flag burned alongside the president being burned in effigy.
On September 26, the president, in his speech to the heads of state at the U.N., referenced the video as the cause of turmoil in the Middle East and jobs as the PC solution.
The Ivy League graduate does not understand that terrorism is not about economics. Terrorism is about an ideology, where the means justify the ends.
As Twain said in his "Chapters from My Autobiography," "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." On Sept. 27, almost three weeks after it occurred, The Washington Post, on its website, concluded the White House knew the attack was al-Qaida related 24 hours after it occurred. Later that morning, Jay Carney, the president's press secretary, ended the campaign of deceit when he announced the president believes the attack was terrorism.
Americans connected early the dots of 9/11 and the use of RPGs and mortars. Why not the administration …? Why not the media ...?

sigma1 and sigma2 receptors
binding studies
|University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research
|Sigma receptors are binding sites that are found in the brain, in the endocrine and immune systems, and also in the lungs, kidneys, intestines, muscles and especially the liver. They are classified into two subtypes, sigma1 and sigma2, both of which have unique characteristics. Sigma receptors in the central nervous system are thought to be involved in disorders such as psychoses, Alzheimer's disease, and schizophrenia. A number of human tumors also show high densities of sigma receptors. In this study, three novel compounds were synthesized with the intent of characterizing how their structural differences affect affinity for the sigma1 and sigma2 receptors. We investigated derivatives of a potent sigma1 selective agonist, 1-(3',4'-dimethoxyphenethyl)-4-(3''-phenyl propyl)piperazine, developed by Santen Pharmaceutical Co. Specifically, the 4'-methoxy moiety was replaced by benzyloxy, phenethyloxy and 3-phenylpropyloxy substituents. These were prepared by reaction of the corresponding 4'-phenol with base and treatment with phenethyl bromide, 3-phenylpropyl bromide or benzyl bromide. For the phenethyl and 3-phenylpropyl derivatives, a mixture of 40% KOH and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (1M in MeOH) was used as the base. Column chromatography provided these target compounds in 81 - 94% purified yields. The benzyl derivative proved difficult to obtain using this procedure, and different conditions were used to synthesize this compound. The 4'-phenol was reacted with benzyl bromide and potassium carbonate in ethanol to give the benzyl ether in 35% yield after purification by column chromatography. All three compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, and were analyzed by elemental analysis and HPLC. Currently, competition receptor binding studies are being run on the synthesized compounds to measure their affinities for sigma1 and sigma2 receptors.

Introduction | ================ Hi and welcome to my guide for Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles. This guide will cover the remake and will eventully cover both Symphony of the Night and the original Dracula X: Chi No Rondo (Rondo of Blood) for the PSP sy -stem. My name is Ryan and I will try my hardest to help you (the gamer) to get through one hell of a game. But allow myself to give you the basic round down of this game. It has taken 15 years for Konami to finally release Dracula X: Chi No Rondo to the American gamers. Originally being on the TurbograFX engine in Japan, this game was one of the most sought out games in the history of video games in hist -ory. Taking elements from Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, it allowed players to find hidden level routes with multipul bosses in one stage. This gave the ga -me a good feel and more replay value. Not only that you had to rescue four young maidens who which have been captured by Dracula himself. One of these four girls happens to be Richter Belmont's girlfriend. Now Dracula X: Rondo of Blood has been remade from it's original 2-D form it is now in 2.5D graphics (3D gaming) but takes more 2D platforming effect. So to th -e peolpe who have never played classic Castlevania before, this is going to be one hell of a ride. Hate it or love it. Dracula X is NOW in America, so rejoice and enjoy this most beloved game which is considered as the Holy Grail to all Castlevania fans in the world. Now on for Symphony of the Night. To thoughs who have read my original walkthro -ugh for SoTN will know what this game is about. If not, then you're in for one heck of a treat. In Symphony of the Night you take control of a man named Aluca -rd, who, being the son of Dracula. In this game you are given Super Metroid exploring elements and RPG (Role Playing Game) elements. Basicly it's the one that started the crazy "castleroid" fever that we have been seeing for 10 years on the Gameboy Advanced system and the Nintendo Dual-Screen. When it came out back in 1997 for the orinal Playstation, it too was one of the main games to get back then next to Squaresoft's (now Square-Enix) Final Fantas -y VII. To the ones who had played the original, the voice acting has been redo -ne with some new features. But I won't spoil that for you! So without furtheradue I welcome you to the world of Castlevania! =============== 4. How to Play | =============== A.

Symphony of the Night ------------------------ *Coming soon* =================================================| 7. Dracula X: Rondo of Blood (remake) walkthrough| _________________________________________________| ----------------- =================| Stage 0: Proluge | (DXRMS-000) _________________| The game will start with Richter riding in the rain on a horse carriege. Death will make his presence known to test our hereo. Death will make his first move by throwing his sythe at you. Just destroy it with a whip attack. Our enemy now will make another attack, he will summon a huge glowing green skull. Just destr -oy it with regular attacks. After that, the introduction is over. And the next stage will begin. ------------------------- =========================| Stage 1: Dinner of Flames| (DXRMS-001) _________________________| Make your way foward and kill the Skeleton Apes that come before you. Now don't forget to destroy the Tourches & Candles to collect hearts, gold and subweapons for your adventure. Now continue on in towards the town. Once inside a scene wi -ll take place. Once the scene is over make your way upstairs and kill off the SKeleton Ape. Now make your way up the second set of stairs. Note: Becareful they love to hurl barrels at you. So destroy them! Now that we're on higher ground destroy the corner of the left wall for some gold. Now make your way right. As you move towards a tad, Skeleton Apes will jump out of the windows of the burning buildings. Kill them off. Now move past the Church and a (interest creature name here) will jump out of the window. His attacks are different than previous enemy encounters. But all you really need to do is study his movements and whip one time. Once he his dead hit the last candle and make your way down stairs. Now in this area we are at a cross road to either go to Stage 2a or 2b. So whi -ch you choose is up to you. Anyways jump over the platform and hit the wall to find some Pot Roast to replenish lost health. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Path A* Head through the door on the right side and continue out to city portion. Now the only thing you need to worry about in this portion are Bats and Golems. Bats will fly at you in different angles backwords and fowards. So make sure that you either dodge them or kill them off. Now as for the Golems they are the huge red rock creatures in front of you. To take these guys out you need to know their two attacks. One is shooting three fire balls from their mouth. These projectiles can either be destroyed or you can evade them. Now when you are also close to them they will attempt to punch Richter with their huge fist, so be very careful! Note: The Golems die in 6 hits from your whip. After you have taken them all out enter the next section. Continue forward coll -ect everything from all the candles. You will then find yourself in front of a gate. At this point the boss will make itself known. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Path B* Instead of taking the door to the right, walk down on the left. Break the wall that you see there to reveal a big heart. Grab it, now hit the left top portion of that same wall to reveal a hidden chamber. Go inside and kill the Ectoplasm and make your way left. You will see a moving platform and some candles. Destro -y the candles and collect whatever items you get. Now drop down the gap below. Now destroy the wall on the right. Inside here will be a Stone Rose. Kill it off to recieve Hidden Music Item 1*. Break the left wall behind it to reveal some gold. Now head right and break the wall to reveal another hidden passage. Continue foward in to the next room. Make your way towards the buckets of water in which are being lifted up chain. Break lower right portion wall to get some Pot Roast. Now make your way up collecting items from the candles. Now make your way to the top right door. Enter it to find yourself on a bridge with a castle in the background. Continue to move foward to trigger a boss battle. ----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- ===============================| Stage 2: God, Grant Me Strength| (DXRMS-002) _______________________________| Once the second stage starts move foward, kill the Skeletons and Crows that are in your way. Once you come to dead tree kill the Crow and then the Axe Kni -ght. He will take a few attacks and watch the way he throws his axes at you. He'll either duck and throw them or vise versa. Once he is dead make your way towards the huge gap. A big draw bridge will make a path in to the castle. Once inside take note of the Chandelier at the top of the ceiling. If you move towards them they will fall to the ground. Now make your way fowards. Kill any Zombie that comes near you while collecting all candle drops. Now a Peeping Eye will come out of no where. Kill him off quickly. Again take note of the second Chandelier. Continue on to the next sets. Also make sure you grab the Holy Wate -r subweapon. Move in to the next section. In this room a large Behemoth will crash in to the wall. Count the candles when you see the fourth one hit it for the Key. Now walk like hell killing any Zombi -es that come in contact with you. Also try and grab some of the drops from the candles. Once you hit the next room jump on the top ledge in front of you and then the second. The huge creature will bash it's head in to the wall and die. Now make your way to the top ledge on the right. You will come to a stairway and you will see a Peeping Eye in a cage. Do not hit it, instead make your way down and break the right wall for some Pot Roast. Now make your way down to the room below. In here you will come across some Mermen, just take 'em out like any normal enemy. Now make your to the right in this room. You will eventully come to a stairwell and a locked door. use that key on the door to open it and inside a scene will trigger. After that you have Maria as a playable character. After the scene make your way up the big stairwell we skipped. Up here, watch out for Bats and take out the Peeping Eye. Now enter the next room. Collect everyth -ing you can in here. Break the right bottom stairwell to reveal a large heart. Now enter the next room for the next boss. ----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ ====================================| Stage 2b: Breaking Through The Front| (DXRMS-003) ____________________________________| Path A - Make your way across the bridge. Kill the Skeleton Swordmaster quickly. Now ki -ll off the Bone Pillars which are in front of you. Also be careful one of the bridge platforms will fall down to the ground slowly. So be cautious. Now kill the Crow and then the Bone Pillars. In this next section take out the Gargoyles and Bone Pillars. Note: You can find Pot Roast on the brick the 1st Gargoyle came off of. Continue fowards. In this section take out the Skull Spiders with Holy Water. Also make sure you pay attention to the bone bridges, they calpse every time you walk over them. Also make sure you take out the Skeleton Swordmasters. At the end of this area you'll fight the Werewolf. (refer to strategy up above.) Stage 2b - Path B When you're in the section with the Garygoles count the gaps in the bridge. When you hit the 3rd one jump down. You will drop down on to a small boat. The man will guide you across the river. Just becareful of the Mermen around here. At the end of this section is a Candle, snatch it to recieve Hidden Music Item 2*. You will also be in Level 3b. ----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ========================================| Stage 3: An Evil Prayer Summons Darkness| (DXRMS-004) ________________________________________| At the start of the level becareful of the Spear Guards. Take them out with extream caution! Watch their attacks and kill 'em off quickly. You will then see one above you. Do not let the floor above you fool you. They will thrust their spear downword to hit you. To evade this just duck. continue foward until you see a stairwell and Bone Pillars, kill them if you desire and break the rig -ht wall to reveal a large heart. Make your way up. Kill off the Spear Guard then the Bone Pillar then the next Spear Guard. Break the top left wall (the on -e after the stairwell) to get some Pot Roast to regain lost health. Now make your way up. In this section make your way past the gaps while Skeletons swing in from some rope. You will eventully come to a room with a huge Cross in it. Hit the cross to get the Stop Watch (if you need it.) Kill the Bone Pillars and enter the nex -t room. In this room make your way up the stairs killing the Fleamen. Becareful when they attack in swarms of 2-3. If that happens it will become deadly you might die quickly. Continue foward. Once at the top kill the last two Flea Men. You will the come towards some platforms glowing. Do NOT jump on these, they will tilt back and you will fall. Also make sure you dodge/kill the Medusa Heads that come towards you. When you get to the third portion you'll see some Bone Pillars, kill 'em all and advance. Now continue, grab the Rosary to kill what ever Medusa Heads in the way, destroy the pot for some Post Roast. Now hit all three statues above with the Cross to reviece 1000 gold. Now advance and destroy the Big Skeleton. Once he is dead wait for the bell to ring a few times to recieve some Pot Roast. Enter the next room. In here take out the ghost one at a time then advance, take out the Spear Guard and continue to fight some moe Ghost. Now kill the second spear guard. Continue you will see a Thief come towards you. Kill him and do not allow him to touch you or he will steal your subweapon. Enter the next room. Destroy all candles in this room and then break the lower left wall to find a huge Pot Roast to restore ALL of your lost health. Now enter the next room to fight ----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- ===========================================| Stage 3a: Release From The Thirst For Blood| (DXRMS-005) ___________________________________________| This level is a swamp based type level. Start off by colle cting any candles you see. Beware of the Mudmen who spawn out from the mud. Also watch the bats that come out of no where. Kill 'em off quickly or dodge them. Note: Make sure you get out of the mud quickly or you'll be sucked down in to a muddy grave. Now once you jumped over the first mudpit a Tomb Stone will come alive and jump at you. Destroy it and take the stairs up. Here you'll find a lone Tomb Stone, this one will not attack you for a relief. Move it to reveal a secret passage t -hat you will drop down. In here you'll see six candles. On the the left side you'll find in each candle the Cross, Holy Water and a Stop Watch. On the rigt side you will find a Large Heart, 1UP* and the Axe subweapon (which I recomend that you get.) Now once you have got the items you'l need drop down in the pit below. You'll drop back in to the pit of mud. Get out of quickly and advance onward. A cut scene will start and a huge flying skull with three eyes will come out of the darkness. To end it's undead life quickly use the Axe Subweapon and hit all three of the eyes and it will die. You can now advance on. Here you'll come to another muddy pit. Jump up to the area above and break the right wall to reveal some Pot Roast to regain lost health. *To Save Tera* Now in this portion you'll see a platform below and one on top. Drop down to the platform and attack the wall from top to bottom to reveal a hidden room. Go inside. In here you'll see a Red Bone wall and a stairwell, take the stairwell down to trigger a scene and you'll save Tera. You'll also gain the ability to destroy the Red Bone walls. Now make your way back upstairs and destroy the Red Bone wall so that it will give you a path to go up and advance. You'll come to a Grave Digger who loves to use martial arts. To avoid him wait 'til he runs towards you, back flip over him and destroy him in four hits of your whip. Continue on and make your way up while killing the Skeleton. Skip the stairway and continue forward to find a Sk -eleton and another Grave Digger. Once the Grave Digger is dead drop below and hit the wall (hit the bottom portion that doesn't break for some Pot Roast.) Now backtrack to the set of stairs and head up. Now we have come to a cross road. We can either take the main path and fight to fight the Dullahan or we can tack the alternate. The way to get to Minotaurs is easy so I don't need to write a part on that. To get get to Level 4b you'll see some chains up above. Hit the second chain ball that drops down to break it to watch it fall. Below it'll crush a hole in the ground. So head back to the previous stairs and go back down. Drop down to the pit below. Becareful you may endure damage from the spike ball. Now enter the next door. Gather all the candles and hit the box on the left side to revea -l a Large Heart. Kill the rat and try to reach the Large Heart it drops. Now collect the rest of the candles and destroy the right lower wall to reveal some Pot Roast. Now make your way downstairs to fight the boss. ----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- ===============================| Stage 4: Atop Countless Terrors| (DXRMS-006) _______________________________| This level starts with Flea Men advancing right at you and Skeletons throwing bones from above. Take 'em out. Becareful of the Red Skeletons who will resurre -ct upon a few seconds. Make your way up, grab the Axe subweapon and advance to the left. In the section take out the Bone Dragon with the axe. Now continue. Cross the machines of death carefully. Once you're finished you'll see a lone monster at the top. Kill him now becareful in this portion you'll step on some traps. To edvade 'em, just jump once, then black flip for the 2nd. Now head up the stair carefully, watch the spike lowerer'. Once it's at a safe distence pro -ceed up. Now get through them. At the end will be another Bone Dragon, take care of 'em or ignore 'em. Continue down this carridor and then to the next section. In this room you will see Fleamen on top of large iron balls. The objective is to watch out for the Snake Skeleton thingies and getting on top of these iron balls of death and making it to the top. In the next section take out the Skele -tons and Red ones. Now make your way up to the next stairwell you see (ignore the first one going down.) Now kill the Axe Armor and continue to the right stairway going up. Up here take out the Axe Armor. Now hit the Spike swinger and it's path way will be altered for a sec allow you to get under. Now continu -e and destroy the wall of Bone Pillars. Now Jump on the moving platform and then jump to the upper stairwell and make your way up. In this lonely room make your way to the door and enter it. In this chamber col -llect all items (holy water is recomended) and break the lower right wall (und -er the door) to recieve a Large Pot Roast. Enter the door to begin the battle. ----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- =====================================| Stage 4b: Fortress Of The Water Demon| (DXRMS-007) _____________________________________| This level is fun (so I thought) The only thing you need to watch out for in this section are frogs and Crows. Continue foward and jump or climb the stairs down. Watch out for the frogs below swiming in the water. Climb up the next set of stairs and kill the Frog. Once on top dodge & kill the Crow. Drop down to th -e ground below, walk up the stairs and kill the frog and next Crow. Repeat the same process. You will then come to frog statue with a door in front of it. Go inside for the next section. In this section you'll see a water fall and some rafts falling below. Now we ca -n do one of the two things. Why? Because we've come to a cross road. We can either save Tera or hitch a ride on the rafts below. So if you want you can skip the part to save Iris if you wish. *To save Iris* Carefully hop on the raft and make it pass the huge gap. Kill the first Frog that you see. Now we'll be on some bridges with skeletons climbing under it and coming out of no where. Eventully you'll come to a blue frog. Do NOT kill it. Instead evade it and let it fellow you foward until you come to some Frog Statues. It will jump on one that is missing and it will lower. Now make your way back left you'll notice there is a gap in the bridges now, so drop below and make your way left to find a set of stairs. Go down them and you'll be in a cave full of Mermen. Destroy them and proceed right until you come to a door which you can go inside. In here you'll find Iris and trigger a scene. You'll then gain the ability to destroy Crystals. Once you're back in the Merman chamber destroy the Crystal Wall and then destro -y the Candle to obtain a Music Sound Item* Now make your way back upstairs. Now you can either go in to the door on the far right to fight Dullahan or head down the rafts. In the raft section ride the waves kill the Skeletons with Spea -rs behind you. Also you can hit the burds carrying tressure chest. Eventully you will see a bird holding a sign. That is pretty much a caution that there will be an ending of the river. Note: The Sign says Deadly if you read it! So carefully jump off the raft and on to the cliff. Now continue foward and you'll come to a ferry man. Get aboard his ferry to trigger a scene and he will guide you pass the river. Now get on the groundsection and destroy the Crystal Wall to find a Sound Item* Now jump up you'll eventully come to a moving platf -orm. Becareful of the hordes of bats that make way. Also collect the key and move foward and unlock the door. In this room collect all the hearts and enter the next room to fight the boss. ----------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- =================================| Stage 5: The Devil flies by Night| (DXRMS-008) _________________________________| One of my favorite stages. Continue foward. Water Skulls will appear out of the water, so kill them (1 hit) and move foward. Kill the Skeleton Flails on the platforms and advance while taking out/dodging the skulls. Now you'll come to a door. But out of no where two Skeleton Swordmasters will appear out of no where. Kill the first one and as the second one dashes at you back flip over h -im and kill. Now enter the door to get in to the ship. Once inside take out the Skeleton Archer. Now ingore the stairs and you'll see a wall. Break it open and go in. Jump on the crates to get above and destroy the candles. One of them holds a Sound Item*. Now make your way down the set of stairs. In here you can either destroy the wall on the right side (left wall at the bottom) to go obtain a 1up by destroying the ship's engine and risk getting shot at by Bone Muskets. Or you can go right, take out the Skeleton Archer and head inside this room. In here you'll fight a Spectural Sword. Take out its sword and find the right one to advance in to the next room. In here grab the Cross Subweapon and the heart (from the candles) now enter the next room to fight three Skeleton Archer -s at a time. Once they are dead enter the next room. In this room you'll fight a Phantom Painting. Becareful not to jump in to him or he'll suck you up and kill you in 1 hit. Just kill him off with your whip or cross subweapon (I suggest you save hearts.) Once he is dead enter the next room. Above here you'll see a Musket Skeleton. Watch him firing, once you get his timing right wait for him to fire two shots, as he reloads jump up and kill him and make your way up. Up here go left to collect the Axe Subweapon. Watch out for Flea Riders. Conti -nue left until you come to Plate Armors who swing large iron balls to hit you. Just kill them off while collecting candles and evading/killing Flea Riders. Move left all the way until you hit the next section. Collect all the candles you see. Make sure you get the Cross subweapon. Also if you need health break the wall on the left. Make your way up to fight Death ----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- ===================| Stage 5a: Wandering| (DXRMS-009) ___________________| At the start of the stage dodge the horde of bats that make way. Now collect any candles you see and advance. Jump over the platform. On the next portion kill the Skeleton Swordsmen. Now wait for the moving platform, destroy the cand -le to recieve a Large Heart. Now in this next portion kill the Skeleton with the sword or he'll knock you off to a watery grave. Now continue on and kill off the Skeleton Flails. Now jump up kill the next one and wait for the moving platforms. Jump on and hitch a ride. On the 2nd platform duck to not get hit by the spikes.

Continue until you see a set of stairs going up. In this section past the spikes break the wall to get some Pot Roast. Now continue foward. Kill the Skeleton down below. Now hit the switch on the ledge above you to open up the gate. Continue through it, grab the Cross subweapon and move in to the next room. In here move a tad. Kill the Final Guards in this room (can be a real pain.) Once they are daed head in to the next room. In this room take out the brown Axe Armor. He will come at you, so black flip over him and attack. Once he is dead move on. Move on until you fight the boss. ----------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------- ===========================| Stage 6: A Nightmare Reborn| (DXRMS-010) ___________________________| This level is just one huge boss fight. So keep that in mind. Please refer to the boss section if you need help. ----------- -------------------------------------- ======================================| Stage 7: Hear Now The Requiem Of Blood| (DXRMS-011) ______________________________________| Grab the Axe Subweapon behind you and make your way on the bridge that will cru -mble to the ground below. You'll have some huge bats following you, some with a sword. Aim your attack right with the axe to kill them off without getting hi -t. Once inside the Clock Tower. Make your way up while avoiding the Skeletons and Water Skulls. Once at the top hit the Right Gear to open the door. In here you will find a very powerful Raven. Just kill him with your Axe Subweapon and break the Egg to recieve some Pot Roast, also, collect the key it drops if you wish to Save Annette. Now enter the next room. Use the gear to travel down. A Harpy will throw a knif -e at you. Just evade it then get close to it and whip it to death. Now jump on the gear to activate a gear which will help you travel down. Kill the next crea ture. Now once at the bottom jump on the moving gears in the water and break th -e wall to recieve a Sound Item* now enter the next room. *skip this part if you wish to save Annette* In here you'll see a door that can be locked. Go inside and kill the Succubus deguised as Annette. ************* *If you wish to Save Annette* Remember that key I told you to obtain from that powerful Raven? Well that key will allow you to open the REAL door to save her. In order to do so you'll have to be in the third room inside the clock tower (the one passed the Harpy's.) No -w make your way up until you see a Crystal Wall, break it and it will drop an Invisiblity Jar. So grab that and make your way back down to the first locked Door but do not go inside.

Game 6 countdown, noon: Tim Thomas in line for Conn Smythe?
|06.13.11 at 11:59 am ET
Even if the Bruins lose Game 6 Monday night, there is speculation that Tim Thomas will win the Conn Smythe trophy as playoff MVP. At Canada's Sportsnet website, Ian Mendes writes that he's hearing from fellow media members Thomas is the favorite, but he makes a case for Thomas' counterpart, Roberto Luongo. The premise of his argument is that Luongo had bad games in Boston when the Canucks were going to lose anyhow, so ignore those games and focus instead on how well he's played in the rest of the playoffs.
'¦ The Toronto Star has five questions for Game 6, including the question: Which Bruin will step up and replace the clutch scoring of Nathan Horton? The last question, which will not sit well with Bruins fans, is: If the Canucks win, who will be the first players to handle the Stanley Cup?
'¦ Following a relatively tame series against the Lightning, the Bruins have had no shortage of villains step forward for the Canucks. In the National Post, Sean Fitz-Gerald recaps and analyzes the controversy from the finals.

Deep Purple have officially announced a new studio album set for release next year. The as-yet-untitled follow-up to 2005's Rapture Of The Deep is due in late April.
I decided to write a blog post dedicated to Ritchie Blackmore. Everyone knows who is. He's the guy who wrote probably the best-known guitar riff of all time. So what's he doing now? You probably know he has a project with his wife, Candice Night, appropriately titled Blackmore's Night. I'd like to dispel some misconceptions about this extremely creative project.
I'd like to focus on an approach to chord playing inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach's chorales. The chorale originated as a vocal hymn of the Lutheran church, often constructed in four-part harmony wherein the top voice is the melody. Bach composed many chorales of incredible beauty; the way he harmonized for four voices was impeccable, and his chorales served as the textbook for studying Western harmony for over 100 years.
Blackmore's Night, the band former Deep Purple and Rainbow guitarist Ritchie Blackmore formed 15 years ago with his wife, Candice Night, have announced four East Coast US dates.
Metallica, Iron Maiden, Chickenfoot, Steve Vai and other artists will appear on Re-Machined: A Tribute to Machine Head, a Deep Purple tribute album scheduled to be released September 4.
After releasing a charity single last year, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi and Deep Purple's Ian Gillan have announced the details of the upcoming debut album from their joint project, WhoCares.
Earlier this week, longtime Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord died at the age of 71 from a pulmonary embolism.
Black Sabbath bassist Terry "Geezer" Butler, who turns 63 today, posted a message online paying tribute to founding Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord, who died yesterday, July 16, after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
After a lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer, Deep Purple keyboard player and founding member Jon Lord died earlier today, July 16, at the age of 71. The cause of death has been disclosed as a pulmonary embolism.

The city, on Monday, wore a festive look as three different communities celebrated their festivals.
In the morning, the Tamils welcomed their new year – Puthandu – with prayers while the Punjabis organised katha and kirtan to mark Baisakhi. Apart from that, hundreds of Assamese geared up for Rongali Bihu, which is celebrated as their harvest festival.
Bihu and Baisakhi are celebrated as the first day of the farming season. It also marks the beginning of the new spring year. Farmers also thank God for the good yield and pray for the welfare of their families. Other than this, Baisakhi is also celebrated as the foundation day of the Panth Khalsa.
"The festival is extremely significant for the Sikhs as on this day in 1699, the 10th Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, laid down the foundation of the Panth Khalsa," said Trilochan Singh, general secretary of Gurdwara Gobind Dham, Thaltej.
Apart from decorating 11 gurdwaras in the city, they had also arranged for a free eye check-up session for people, irrespective of their social standing.
During Bihu, farmers offer the first crop of the season to God while wishing peace and prosperity for families. The Assamese Culture's Society, had arranged for a 'Jalpan arrangement' which was attended by members of the community. A cultural programme has also been arranged on April 19 where folk dance will be performed.
Speaking to dna, a member of Ahmedabad Tamil Sangam, V Saroja, said: "Normally, we wake up early, and try to see god as soon as we open our eyes. To worship Him, devotees flock to Murugan temple."
Camp Hanuman temple carried out a huge procession to mark the pre-celebration of Hanuman Jayanti. On Tuesday, the temple will celebrate the Jayanti by cutting a huge mawa cake and distributing it among the children and devotees.

How to design a McLaren P1
TG speaks to the man who penned Woking's new hybrid hypercar
Posted: 03 Apr 2013
Only 375 P1s are being built, each costing £866,000. Production starts later this year. But it's got one hell of a rival in the new LaFerrari. So what does Stephenson - a former Fiat Group employee - think of Maranello's masterpiece? "I think the car is about trying - trying - to look dramatic," he says, "it doesn't come across to me as being one hundred per cent efficient in the design. It's new, it's got the wow factor and is definitely more attractive than the Enzo ever was. "The Enzo didn't come across to me as Italian. This one does look Italian but it looks like those girls who are dressed to kill at 9am. But it does look lot more sensual than other cars. It's a lot like a pretty girl... but she's got a lot of scars on her."

[Verse One: Emilio Rojas]
Don't you think you got the right to right consultant
Gave your letters to the kids but I don't know if they been opened
You cheated on me with Lisa but now we close friends
She said you got her pregnant twice and ran away from those kids
We fucking bonded over hating you
The more time that passed, it's like the less I got to say to you
You fucking piece of shit, had attorneys and social workers all chasing you
They said you left the country and then made that Venezuela move
I paid your way through school, your degree because of me
Now I'm working triple shifts to pay the bills you stuck to me
Been trying to keep the kids in school and make sure there's enough to eat
We gave our son your name so when I talk with him, it fuck with me
Now that's the families you left and should've never had
Should've been a fucking sperm donor and never been a dad
You're writing letters when you should be writing checks to me
And having kids with bitches, man, you shook, it all suspect to me
Ain't no sympathy for the devil, (Diablo) nah
Ain't no sympathy for the devil, (Diablo) nah
Now I ain't feeling bad for ya, I give a damn 'bout ya
There was a time when I gave everything I had to ya
Ain't no sympathy for the devil, (Diablo) nah
Ain't no sympathy for the devil, (Diablo) nah
Now I ain't feeling bad for ya, I give a damn 'bout ya
There was a time when I gave everything I had for ya
[Verse Two: Emilio Rojas]
Emilio surprised that I forgot you hitting mom
Forgot about you stalking her and all the times the pigs were called
It affected me I guess 'cause I can't get along with men at all
And senior year, I even took a chick to prom
Refuse to date men, a lesbian, I hate men
I'm looking at 'em like they all liars, cheaters and rapists
And the last thing I remember when you used to call me Chacas
And you flew us to Caracas to meet you on that vacation
And we stayed at our Abuela's apartment while you just visited
And hid the other family you living with, all the kids and shit
You said I had a sister that reminded you of me
But you left twelve years ago and said that she was two or three
Me and E from mom, Jake and Madison from Lis
And I'm guessing all the time between, you added two or three
Right? So I had to cop an attitude and leave
I thought I'm daddy's little girl, yeah, sad little truth for me
[Verse Three: Emilio Rojas]
Don't never say I'm like you, man, I don't even like you
I barely even know you, wouldn't know where I could write you
I thought that I would fight you when we met again
Instead I'm sitting, looking at yo ass like we ain't never met
Acquaintances, we never friends (Who the hell are you?)
I'm spending every second trying to be a different man
But we share a lot of similarities, the shit is bad
And I'm a little mad you wrote me all them notes to me
And all the shit you told me at the end, nobody knows but me
Now you a lonely man, it's only right
But suicide's a coward's way out of a problem, you took your fucking life
But they don't know you like I know you, they think you're alive
I know it'd make my sister cry, it'd probably make my mother smile
Mama after closure and Sis want you to hold her
But me, I'm happy acting like I barely fucking know ya
And everybody told me I'd forgive ya when I grow up
It's too late for that, I saw your casket close, it's over

As I understand it, the sole purpose of this package is to download non-free firmware. This fits into 'contrib', not 'main', since it depends on non-free software for its ultimate operation. Packages like this are given as an example of packages for contrib. From Policy 2.2.2:
Hm, that is close to the case of mISDN's "loadfirm" utility. The consensus back then was that splitting off a (free) firmware loader from a free package was not worth the effort required (after all, we're not violating licenses here); also IMO it is a bit counterproductive, as people wishing to write free firmware would have to get the firmware loader from contrib then.

Usage Discussion of THAT
That, which, who: In current usage that refers to persons or things, which chiefly to things and rarely to subhuman entities, who chiefly to persons and sometimes to animals. The notion that that should not be used to refer to persons is without foundation; such use is entirely standard. Because that has no genitive form or construction, of which or whose must be substituted for it in contexts that call for the genitive.That, which: Although some handbooks say otherwise, that and which are both regularly used to introduce restrictive clauses in edited prose. Which is also used to introduce nonrestrictive clauses. That was formerly used to introduce nonrestrictive clauses; such use is virtually nonexistent in present-day edited prose, though it may occasionally be found in poetry.
Origin of THAT
Middle English, from Old English thæt, neuter relative pron., from thæt, neuter demonstrative pron.
First Known Use: before 12th century
adverb \ˈthat\
: to the degree that is stated or suggested
: to the degree or extent indicated by a gesture
: to a great degree
Full Definition of THAT
: to such an extent <a nail about that long>

- What would you do with that much money?
- "Don't go over the speed limit." "Does the car even go that fast?"

Florida's lethal injection gurney is shown in an undated handout photo taken in the redesigned death chamber which will accommodate either the electric chair or the gurney at Florida State Prison.
A Florida man convicted of killing his estranged wife and her 5-year-old child in 1985 was executed Wednesday, becoming the third inmate put to death since a botched lethal injection in Oklahoma seven weeks ago.
John Ruthell Henry, 63, was pronounced dead at 7:43 p.m. Just before his execution, Henry asked for forgiveness and apologized for the murders, according to NBC-owned station WTVJ in Miami.
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a last-ditch appeal to grant a stay. Henry's attorneys had argued that he was mentally disabled, and that executing him amounted to cruel and unusual punishment.
Sign up for breaking news alerts from NBC News
Henry became the third person put to death since Oklahoma's botched execution of Clayton Lockett in Oklahoma in April. Georgia killer Marcus Wellons was executed Tuesday night, and John Winfield was put to death in Missouri just after midnight Wednesday morning.
Neither Wellons nor Winfield, also executed by lethal injection, showed the distress and prolonged agony that occurred during Lockett's execution in Oklahoma on April 28, in which the convicted murderer grimaced, clenched his jaw and thrashed after the drugs were administered. That execution was halted, but the 38-year-old died of a heart attack about a half-hour later.
Outcry from the botched execution prompted Oklahoma to halt executions while it reviewed procedures. The White House also ordered a review of state protocols.
Henry was convicted of fatally stabbing his wife, Suzanne Henry, after an argument in her Pasco County home in late December of 1985. Hours later he murdered Suzanne Henry's 5-year-old son from another marriage by repeatedly stabbing the boy in the throat.
In a federal appeal that was rejected Tuesday, Henry's attorneys argued that he has an IQ of 78, close to the threshold to determine if someone is mentally disabled, but that past abuse and concussions means he only has the mental abilities of a 13- or 14-year-old.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals found that three psychiatrists unanimously concluded Henry suffered from no mental disability.
Florida's last execution was April 23, when Robert Hendrix was put to death for murdering two relatives.

|The geography of protest at the School of the Americas
|Rubin, Zachary, 1985-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|One does not need to look far for examples of protest and social unrest in the history of the United States. Segments of the population fervently opposed the Second World War and the Vietnam War, and, in another time, others battled for civil rights. The spatiality of protest, however, has changed over time as state actors adapt to different threats from within and without. This paper focuses on a specific protest-- the movement to close the now-infamous "School of the Americas" (SOA), which has been reoccurring annually for 20 years. Demonstrations at the SOA, located in Ft. Benning, Georgia, draw as many as 25,000 people annually. I examine the spatiality of the demonstrations, and how that arrangement has changed over the course of years as political and cultural environments have shifted. Contemporary protests, I demonstrate, are influenced by such forces as the Global War on Terror and by divergent ideologies of the state.

About Us
Campus History
The Kent State University chapter of NAACP was founded in 1997 by Richard Montgomery and other students who felt that there needed to be change at an institutionalized level in order to ensure equal treatment of African American and minority students on Kent States campus. Though there were already various student organizations on campus in 1997 fighting for the social and educational equality of African American students, Mr. Montgomery and his constituents understood the potential impact that could be made by a National organization as prominent as the NAACPan organization that has the experience and resources needed to fight against the injustices that are continuing to occur on Kent States campus and in the surrounding communities.
The first attempt to create a chapter of NAACP here at Kent State University was in 1954 with the help of Dr. Oscar Ritchie, the first African American to hold at faculty position at a state institution in Ohio, also the man which Oscar Ritchie Hall, the black cultural center here on campus is named after. The chapter at the time was denied by the then President, George Bowman, who stated that, NAACP was a radical organization; therefore we was not allowed to exist on Kent States campus. 1954 was a time period in Kent States history in which there still existed segregated housing on campus for African Americans and a period in which a force such as NAACP was needed more than ever.
Since its official founding on this campus, KSU-NAACP have worked side by side with other black and civil rights organizations on and off campus to ensure equal educational opportunity for minority students on this campus and in the surrounding communities. From protesting along side of Black United Students and other black organizations to force the university to acknowledge the need to renovate Oscar Ritchie Hall, to informing students of national issues that effect our communities, partaking in community service, the KSU-NAACP continues to fight to eradicate discrimination and better the living and educational situation for students of color at Kent State University.
National History
(As told by the National Chapter of the NAACP)
The NAACP was formed partly in response to the continuing horrific practice of lynching and the 1908 race riot in Springfield, the capital of Illinois and birthplace of President Abraham Lincoln.
Appalled at the violence that was committed against blacks, a group of white liberals that included Mary White Ovington and Oswald Garrison Villard, both the descendants of abolitionists, William English Walling and Dr. Henry Moscowitz issued a call for a meeting to discuss racial justice. Some 60 people, seven of whom were African American (including W. E. B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells-Barnett and Mary Church Terrell), signed the call, which was released on the centennial of Lincoln's birth.
Other early members included Joel and Arthur Spingarn, Josephine Ruffin, Mary Talbert, Inez Milholland, Jane Addams, Florence Kelley, Sophonisba Breckinridge, John Haynes Holmes, Mary McLeod Bethune, George Henry White, Charles Edward Russell, John Dewey, William Dean Howells, Lillian Wald, Charles Darrow, Lincoln Steffens, Ray Stannard Baker, and Fanny Garrison Villard.
Echoing the focus of Du Bois' Niagara Movement began in 1905, the NAACP's stated goal was to secure for all people the rights guaranteed in the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the United States Constitution, which promised an end to slavery, the equal protection of the law, and universal adult male suffrage, respectively.
The NAACP's principal objective is to ensure the political, educational, social and economic equality of minority group citizens of United States and eliminate race prejudice. The NAACP seeks to remove all barriers of racial discrimination through the democratic processes.The NAACP established its national office in New York City in 1910 and named a board of directors as well as a president, Moorfield Storey, a white constitutional lawyer and former president of the American Bar Association. The only African American among the organization's executives, Du Bois was made director of publications and research and in 1910 established the official journal of the NAACP, The Crisis.
The Crisis
Du Bois founded The Crisis magazine as the premier crusading voice for civil rights. Today, The Crisis, one of the oldest black periodicals in America, continues this mission. A respected journal of thought, opinion and analysis, the magazine remains the official publication of the NAACP and is the NAACP's articulate partner in the struggle for human rights for people of color.In time, The Crisis became a voice of the Harlem Renaissance, as Du Bois published works by Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen and other African American literary figures. The publications prominence would rise.
Now published quarterly, The Crisis is dedicated to being an open and honest forum for discussing critical issues confronting people of color, American society and the world in addition to highlighting the historical and cultural achievements of these diverse peoples.
In essays, interviews, in-depth reporting, etc., writers explore past and present issues concerning race and its impact on educational, economic, political, social, moral, and ethical issues. And, each issue is highlighted with a special section, "The NAACP Today" reporting the news and events of the NAACP on a local and national level.
With a strong emphasis on local organizing, by 1913 the NAACP had established branch offices in such cities as Boston, Massachusetts; Baltimore, Maryland; Kansas City, Missouri; Washington, D.C.; Detroit, Michigan; and St. Louis, Missouri.
Joel Spingarn, one of the NAACP founders, was a professor of literature and formulated much of the strategy that led to the growth of the organization. He was elected board chairman of the NAACP in 1915 and served as president from 1929-1939.
A series of early court battles, including a victory against a discriminatory Oklahoma law that regulated voting by means of a grandfather clause (Guinn v. United States, 1910), helped establish the NAACP's importance as a legal advocate. The fledgling organization also learned to harness the power of publicity through its 1915 battle against D. W. Griffith's inflammatory Birth of a Nation, a motion picture that perpetuated demeaning stereotypes of African Americans and glorified the Ku Klux Klan.
NAACP membership grew rapidly, from around 9,000 in 1917 to around 90,000 in 1919, with more than 300 local branches. Writer and diplomat James Weldon Johnson became the Association's first black secretary in 1920, and Louis T. Wright, a surgeon, was named the first black chairman of its board of directors in 1934.
The NAACP waged a 30-year campaign against lynching, among the Association's top priorities. After early worries about its constitutionality, the NAACP strongly supported the federal Dyer Bill, which would have punished those who participated in or failed to prosecute lynch mobs. Though the bill would pass the U.S. House of Representatives, the Senate never passed the bill, or any other anti-lynching legislation. Most credit the resulting public debatefueled by the NAACP report Thirty Years of Lynching in the United States, 1889-1919with drastically decreasing the incidence of lynching.
Johnson stepped down as secretary in 1930 and was succeeded by Walter F. White. White was instrumental not only in his research on lynching (in part because, as a very fair-skinned African American, he had been able to infiltrate white groups), but also in his successful block of segregationist Judge John J. Parker's nomination by President Herbert Hoover to the U.S. Supreme Court.
White presided over the NAACP's most productive period of legal advocacy. In 1930 the association commissioned the Margold Report, which became the basis for the successful reversal of the separate-but-equal doctrine that had governed public facilities since 1896's Plessy v. Ferguson. In 1935 White recruited Charles H. Houston as NAACP chief counsel. Houston was the Howard University law school dean whose strategy on school-segregation cases paved the way for his protégé Thurgood Marshall to prevail in 1954's Brown v. Board of Education, the decision that overturned Plessy.
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, which was disproportionately disastrous for African Americans, the NAACP began to focus on economic justice. After years of tension with white labor unions, the Association cooperated with the newly formed Congress of Industrial Organizations in an effort to win jobs for black Americans. White, a friend and adviser to First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, met with her often in attempts to convince President Franklin D. Roosevelt to outlaw job discrimination in the armed forces, defense industries and the agencies spawned by Roosevelt's New Deal legislation.
Roosevelt ultimately agreed to open thousands of jobs to black workers when the NAACP supported labor leader A. Philip Randolph and his March on Washington movement in 1941. President Roosevelt would also agree to set up a Fair Employment Practices Committee (FEPC) to ensure compliance.
Throughout the 1940s the NAACP saw enormous growth in membership, recording roughly 600,000 members by 1946. It continued to act as a legislative and legal advocate, pushing for a federal anti-lynching law and for an end to state-mandated segregation.
Civil Rights Era
By the 1950s the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, headed by Marshall, secured the last of these goals through Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which outlawed segregation in public schools. The NAACP's Washington, D.C., bureau, led by lobbyist Clarence M. Mitchell Jr., helped advance not only integration of the armed forces in 1948 but also passage of the Civil Rights Acts of 1957, 1964, and 1968, as well as the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Despite such dramatic courtroom and congressional victories, the implementation of civil rights was a slow, painful, and oft times violent. The unsolved 1951 murder of Harry T. Moore, an NAACP field secretary in Florida whose home was bombed on Christmas night, and his wife was just one of many crimes of retribution against the NAACP and its staff and members.NAACP Mississippi Field Secretary Medgar Evers and his wife Myrlie also became high-profile targets for pro-segregationist violence and terrorism. In 1962, their home was firebombed and later Medgar was assassinated by a sniper in front of their residence following years of investigations into hostility against blacks and participation in non-violent demonstrations such as sit-ins to protest the persistence of Jim Crow segregation throughout the south.
Violence also met black children attempting to enter previously segregated schools in Little Rock, Arkansas, and other southern cities. Throughout the south many African Americans were still denied the right to register and vote.
The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s echoed the NAACP's goals, but leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, felt that direct action was needed to obtain them.
Although it was criticized for working exclusively within the system by pursuing legislative and judicial solutions, the NAACP did provide legal representation and aid to members of other protest groups over a sustained period of time. The NAACP even posted bail for hundreds of Freedom Riders in the 60s who had traveled to Mississippi to register black voters and challenge Jim Crow policies.
Led by Roy Wilkins, who succeeded Walter White as secretary in 1955, the NAACP cooperated with organizers A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin in planning the 1963 March on Washington.
With the passage of major civil rights legislation the following year, the Association accomplished what seemed an insurmountable task. In the following years, the NAACP began to diversify its goals.
Assisting the NAACP throughout the years were many celebrities and leaders, including Sammy Davis Jr., Lena Horne, Harry Belafonte, Ella Baker, an NAACP director of branches who stressed the importance of young people and women in the organization by recruiting members, raising money, and organizing local campaigns; Daisy Bates, NAACP national board member, Arkansas state conference president and advisor to the Little Rock Nine; and NAACP stalwarts like Kivie Kaplan, a businessman and philanthropist from Boston, who served as president of the NAACP from 1966 until 1975. He personally led nationwide NAACP Life Membership efforts and fought to keep African Americans away from illegal drugs.
Close of the first century
Wilkins retired as executive director in 1977 and was replaced by Benjamin L. Hooks, whose tenure included the Bakke case (1978), in which a California court outlawed several aspects of affirmative action. During his tenure the Memphis native is credited with implementing many NAACP programs that continue today. The NAACP ACT-SO (Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics) competitions, a major youth talent and skill initiative, and Women in the NAACP began under his administration.
As millions of African Americans continued to be afflicted as urban poverty and crime increased, de facto racial segregation remained and job discrimination lingered throughout the United States, proving the need for continued NAACP advocacy and action.
Dr. Hooks served as executive director/chief executive officer (CEO) of the NAACP from 1977 to 1992. Benjamin F. Chavis (now Chavis Muhammad) became executive director/CEO in 1993, while in 1995 Myrlie Evers-Williams (widow of Medgar Evers) became the third woman to chair the NAACP, a position she held until 1998, succeeded by the current Chairman Julian Bond.
In 1996 the NAACP National Board of Directors changed the executive director/CEO title to president and CEO when it selected Kweisi Mfume, a former congressman and head of the Congressional Black Caucus, to lead the body. The elected office of president was eliminated.
Former telecommunications executive Bruce S. Gordon followed in 2005. [NAACP General Counsel Dennis Courtland Hayes would serve the Association well as interim national president and CEO twice during changes in administrations in recent years.]
Last May the NAACP National Board of Directors confirmed Benjamin T. Jealous, a former community organizer, newspaper editor and Rhodes Scholar, as the 14th national executive of the esteemed organization.
Heading into the 21st century, the NAACP is focused on disparities in economics, health care, education, voter empowerment and the criminal justice system while also continuing its role as legal advocate for civil rights issues.
Yet the real story of the nation's most significant civil rights organization lies in the hearts and minds of the people who would not stand idly by while the rights of America's darker citizens were denied. From bold investigations of mob brutality, protests of mass murders, segregation and discrimination, to testimony before congressional committees on the vicious tactics used to bar African Americans from the ballot box, it was the talent and tenacity of NAACP members that saved lives and changed many negative aspects of American society.
While much of NAACP history is chronicled in books, articles, pamphlets and magazines, the true movement lies in the faces---black, white, yellow, red, and brown---united to awaken the consciousness of a people and a nation. The NAACP will remain vigilant in its mission until the promise of America is made real for all Americans.
