The politics of respecting the office
Practical Politics
In the more than 2,300 days he's been president of the United States, the sun and wind powering Barack Obama's tall, clipper ship have more than once been interfered with, as nuts and overly partisan ideologues have disrespected the office of the president in their vain attempts at besmirching the personal integrity and reputation of the man himself.
Reparations conference report: Part Two
The Caribbean Reparations Commission (CRC) presented and read its CARICOM National Reparations 10-Point Plan (formally called the Caribbean Restorative Justice Plan) at the New York conference as a foundation document. That plan calls for:
The politics of the new reparations movement
Practical Politics
The call went out, far and wide. It was answered by delegations from more than 21 countries, according to the conference organizers. That number included Martinique, Trinidad-Tobago, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana, Antigua, the Virgin Islands, Canada, Sweden, France and Cuba among others.
The politics of being the change we seek
Practical Politics
No, in too many parts of the U.S. and the world, Black lives don't matter much, yet. Clearly, they should, but bad habits most often die slowly without the pressure of penalty or substantial consequences.
The politics of leaving well enough alone
Practical Politics
In February, 2012, George Zimmerman got away with murder. That is a generalized public perception, particularly among African Americans. Trayvon Martin is dead from a bullet put into him by Zimmerman, and Zimmerman was acquitted of manslaughter in Florida court for killing Martin.
The politics of legal change
Practical Politics
Okay, two quick points here. As predicted in previous columns, the Marvin Gaye offspring, Nona, Frankie and Marvin Gaye III, won their lawsuit against Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke for copyright infringement regarding the monster hit song "Blurred Lines." The eight-member jury voted unanimously in U.S. federal court that Williams and Thicke had too closely copied Marvin Gaye's 1977 hit, "Got to Give it Up," without paying the proper royalties to the copyright holders (the Gaye siblings). Whether the copying was willful, or unintended, the jury said, it was not innocent and a penalty had to be imposed. The Gaye family won $7.4 million dollars as a result of the jury's decision. The rapper, T.I., who co-wrote a later segment of the song after the track was already laid, was not penalized by the jury.
The effects of Black History Month
Practical Politics
Carter G. Woodson was born in New Canton, Va., and raised in West Virginia, the son of former slaves. Getting education and using it to better the conditions of Black Americans was part of his cultural upbringing. Deprived of opportunities to go to public school, he educated himself until the age of 20, then attended and graduated from high school in a little less than two years. He then found a way to obtain acceptance to Berea College in Kentucky while working in a coal mine.
The politics of re-balancing the system
Practical Politics
This column covered the Marissa Alexander case previously. What's the status and significance of it? Alexander, from Jacksonville, Fla., reported that nine days after giving birth to a daughter in 2010, her estranged husband, Rico Gray, choked her, beat her and threatened to kill her in front of his two underage sons. She retreated to the garage of the house, seeking to get out and get away, she reported, but could not exit that way for some reason. In a signed deposition, Gray agreed with this rendition of the facts to that point. Alexander then went to her car, pulled out a gun and went back into the house. When Gray approached her again, reportedly saying, "Bitch, I'll kill you!" she shot the gun once, above his head, as a warning shot she said, hitting the wall. She did not fire again and no one was hurt.
The politics of whose historical narrative is the right one
Practical Politics
Okay, three quick points: Those who keep claiming that the November mid-terms were a rebuke of President Obama might want to re-check their data. Less than 35 percent of the exit-poll data collected on the elections—with exit-polling having been shown to be a much better indicator of voter sentiment and purpose than any pundit's personal view—have concluded that people voted against President Obama in making their choice of congressperson. That's only 1/3 of the vote. The other 65 percent or so said their congressional choices had more to do with the particular candidates running at that time, but had little or nothing to do with the president.
The politics of a muscular lame duck
Practical Politics
While some of us are quietly easing out of 2014, desperately hoping for a better new year, President Barack Obama has been increasingly flexing his man-in-charge muscles and roaring like a lion, rather than a lame-duck president, contrary to everything for which his critics have prayed.
Practical Politics
The politics of two trials
Within the past few months this column has focused on at least two rather interesting legal proceedings—one, an on-going trial and the second, a trial that may be. Today, we'll revisit them both for further analysis.
Thanks for what?
What African Americans have to be thankful for this year
Thanksgiving in the United States, for African Americans and Americans in general, has been a tradition since 1621. Essentially, it has been a territorial and state-based celebration of "good tidings" and good harvests. It did not become a national holiday until 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln declared it so for two separate occasions in August (to celebrate the Union victory at Gettysburg) and November (for the fall/winter harvests). Even then, however, succeeding presidents had to declare the holiday annually, and the fourth Thursday in November came to be accepted as the official day. President Franklin Roosevelt declared that day in 1941, and Congress, in 1944, finally passed legislation that made the official national holiday we now celebrate on the fourth Thursday in November every year.
Practical Politics
The politics of race and republican values
Along with the usual pablum trying to dissect the reasons why and who to blame for another Democratic Party 'shellacking' in the 2014 midterm elections—an ultimately unsatisfying bit of penis paddling, there is another story of interest underneath—the election and coming of political age of Congresswoman Mia Love, the former mayor of Sarotoga Springs, Utah. Love is African American, married to a Caucasian gentleman, the mother of three bi-racial children, and a member of the Mormon Church. She is also a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, and not a shrinking violet. She intends to be heard in Congress, but hopefully not like former congressman Allen West of Florida, nor like current congresswoman Michelle Bachman. Political dignity and circumspection would become her.
Practical Politics
The politics of diversity
Encouragements and inducements toward diversity are indeed upon us as a society. TV shows like "Modern Family," and many more, trumpet that theme—the USA is an ethnically and otherwise diverse society.
The Politics of Ebola
Practical Politics
Lost amid the current relentless media buildup of the Ebola=Africa, Africa=Ebola mindset, are several important bits of information. The first is that the CDC and other Western health systems (e.g., Canadian Health Ministry) have been studying various strains of Ebola in Africa for more than 20 years, and the CDC even established a Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Laboratory in Uganda in 2010-2011 to act as a major research and strategy center for the disease. Russia also established its own lab and in two instances—1996, 2004—lab personnel contracted Ebola through accidental needle contamination.
Is Hip Hop a culture?
Practical Politics
My students recently had a debate over an issue that has troubled them. It is repeated below.
The politics of one step forward
Practical Politics
Like a well-appointed suitor who is totally used to controlling the relationship he established for himself, American racism knows how to give a little hope now and then to keep us hanging on. So, the Florida man who argued with Black teenagers over the loud volume of the music coming out of the youths' van, then shot into the van numerous times, killing Jordan Davis and wounding one other passenger, just got convicted of first-degree murder. Boo Yow!! Mr. Michael Dunn is to get a mandatory 25 years to life for his murderous act.
The politics of pimping victimhood
Practical Politics
Let me wade into the gator-filled waters here. Why haven't we heard the voice of Janay Palmer Rice through all this sound and fury over the horror of her husband hitting her? Wasn't she the victim? Didn't she take the blow?
Practical Politics
The politics of doing something wrong
State Senator Rod Wright is going to jail. At least, that was the sentence meted out to him by L.A. Superior Court Judge Kathleen Kennedy this week. Wright is to begin a three-month term in the county jail on Oct. 31, although he is appealing again.
Practical politics
The politics of stealing intellectual property
Within this musical and literary generation, one of the most persistent challenges is in coping with the habit of millennials to "sample" virtually everything, yet still call it their original creativity. Several much noted artists—like Diddy, Jay-Z and Pharrell Williams—owe their careers to the fine art of using earlier creative efforts of others as a base upon which to lay different lyrics and notes. An entirely new emphasis in law has grown out of monitoring and protecting prior musical compositions from plagiarism without compensation. It is connected to copyright infringement and called clearances and licensing.
The Politics of Lessons From History
Practical Politics
In 1965-66, the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the single most significant civil rights youth group of the 1960's, created the first all-Black political party, the Lowndes County Freedom Party, to showcase SNCC's belief that where Black folk were in the population majority, they should be the majority of the elected representatives. Numbers count in politics. However, according to SNCC's calculation, organized numbers count even more.
The politics of Africa on the world stage
Practical Politics
The obvious theme of this week's column could be and maybe should be the vicissitudes of the Michael Brown killing. But I'm not an obvious kind of writer.
The politics of judging the character of a man
Practical Politics
Daily we are assaulted in the media with opinionated judgements regarding President Barack Obama and other political leaders, ostensibly offering up evaluations of some aspect of the president's character. Unfortunately, the vast majority of those evaluations are nothing more than vapid vituperations based on hot air and gusty emotions. Messy and relevant facts controverting these blowheart opinions are readily ignored or merely denied in passing.
The politics of media name-calling
Practical Politics
We are all aware that once the media, in one form or another, labels something or someone, and that label sticks, it's relatively impossible to uncork that particular genie. Truth and facts have nothing to do with it.
The politics of blind-eye focus
Practical Politics
Many of us have friends or acquaintances who say and/or do things that eventually ensnare us in trouble they caused. Often our defenses against the ensuing criticisms and controversies just deepen the hole we find ourselves in, and we stand or sit stalled in place trying to figure out what the hell happened.
The politics of representing a constituency
Practical Politics
One of the most cherished and distinctive ingredients of American democracy is the right of constituents to expect their elected representatives to have a residency among them. That has been part of a belief from the outset that in order to properly represent citizens and residents of an electoral district or territory, one must know the issues and challenges of that geographical area. The best way to do that is to live, or at least have a legal residency, in the territory one runs to represent.
The Politics of State Mitosis
Practical Politics
Since California became a state in 1849, there have been attempts to divide its territory into smaller areas: In those days, the major issue was to have a non-slave state North California, and a slave state South California. That battle was lost by the slave staters. Since then, there have been at least 219 more proposals to divide California into smaller states.
The Politics of Troubling African Waters: Part II
Practical Politics
'm usually a strong supporter of President Barack Obama. I'm sure when all is said and done, he will go down in history as one of America's best presidents. Of course, how well the Democrats organize their base to get out for the November 2014 Congressional elections will have a big influence on the president's legacy, one way or the other.
The Politics of Getting Africa Out of Trouble
Practical Politics
This is a hard column for me to write this week. Africa is in trouble. That's not a comment that is hard to believe or one that is new to make.
The Politics of Public Integrity and Ethics in Office
Practical Politics
This is not the first time this column has discussed public integrity and ethics in elective office in California, and it probably won't be the last. But, gosh, another California State Senator indicted on federal charges of corruption, fraud, and even gun-running? And another democrat, too? Is it raining California political crooks now? Water, we certainly do need, but this is more like hot, moldy lard streaming greasily down onto our heads. Is this one of the pitfalls of living in the California paradise? You can't trust the folks who take an oath to promote your best interests?
The Politics of Easters Past and Presen
Practical Politics
Okay, I've got a bone or two to pick. Given that Easter Sunday is the quintessential Christian holiday/commemoration, why is it designated on different Sundays every year? In other words, which actual Sunday did Jesus arise? Isn't that important? The Resurrection on floating Sundays? That's simply not logical. Where is the hew and cry about this apparent anomaly? I can't be the only poor pew-sitter who sees this as an issue?
The Politics of Claiming Residency and Crying Foul When Caught
Practical Politics
State Senator Rod Wright, a former staffer for Congresswoman Maxine Waters and a veteran California lawmaker, has this February been convicted of being a law breaker. That's relatively old news. The new news is that California State NAACP president, Alice Huffman, is convinced Wright has been selectively targeted and wrongly convicted. As such, she feels, we, the public, should continue to stand behind and support Senator Wright and agitate for his conviction to be overturned.
The Politics of Points of Order
Practical Politics
As more and more of the Black Arts generation abruptly slips into the grave, the issue of the readiness of the Millennials for the next generation of leadership forces itself forward.
The Politics of Recognizing Black Genius
Practical Politics
With today's cell phones, you can talk to virtually anyone on the planet. Inside every cell phone you have a compact speaker, microphone, keyboard, display screen, and a powerful circuit board with microprocessors that make every phone a miniature computer. When connected to a wireless network, this bundle of modern-day technologies allows you to make phone calls or exchange data with other phones and computers around the world.
The Politics of Snow Flying
Practical Politics
Dressed in white, shaded in black against all that snow and ice, Shani Davis looks good again. Without the most recognizable name of Lindsey Vonn in the Sochi Olympics, and with Apolo Ohno's retirement, the most likely prominent face of the American Winter Olympics presence will be Mr. Shani Davis, Chicago native and repeat world champion. Imagine that—a Black snowman, and a fast one too.
A Pan African Step Forward
Practical Politics
From January 14-16, in Johannesburg, South Africa, approximately 160 attendees from 20 countries crowded into a series of rooms in the Jubilee conference hall at the University of Witswatersrand—the higher education pride of South Africa—to convene what the organizers called the 8th Pan African Congress.
Mr. Mandela: Once More, with Feeling
Practical Politics
On Dec. 5, 2013, the day Mr. Mandela transitioned, the last and probably the best, movie made about his life and significant legacy premiered in Toronto, Canada. The movie was and is, "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom," and it is based on Mr. Mandela's autobiography published in 1995.
The anachronistic politics of at-large voting
Practical Politics
On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Unified School District School board was considering whether to hold a special election or appoint someone, like a superbly qualified George McKenna, Ed.D., to serve out the term of the recently departed and very effective board member, Marguerite LaMotte.
The politics of building legacies and sleeping in peace
Practical Politics
On Thursday, Dec. 5, 2013, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, the Xhosa son of South Africa, rested his head one final time. His personal struggles and his championing of those agitations of his countrymen for dignity and justice came to a close. Certainly the symbol and longevity of his well-lived life spent so lavishly on the quest to raise the best in mankind to an honored place in human engagement had not ended.
The politics of a new Pan African Congress
Practical Politics
On Jan. 14-16, the University of Witswatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, will be the site at which a group of Pan Africanists will meet at the eighth installment of the Pan African Congress Movement begun in 1900 with the gathering of Africanists at the first Pan African Conference in Trinidad.
The politics of real social change
Practical Politics
There are some of us who worry that President Barack Obama's positive legacy is being tarnished right before our eyes—that this fumbling of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) will devastate the significance and accomplishments of his presidency.
The politics of student and youth activism . . . finally
Practical Politics
In February 1960, four students, after a few days of planning and discussing the issue, took a mighty risk. They sat down at a Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, N.C., and asked for service. They knew the law would not protect their rights to do just that, and that there was a significant chance that all, or some of them, would be seriously hurt by the White occupants already at the lunch counter that day.
Black politics and Veteran's Day
Practical Politics
Veteran's Day 2013, was more than merely a few more hours away from money-related work. The U.S.A., collectively, paid a proper tribute this past Monday to its military men and women who have continued to defend the country and to keep many of us safe from foreign harm. The day was also very important to the African American community. It was a day to reflect once again on the consistently significant role Blacks have played in the development of this country, in spite of the too-frequent underappreciation of that fact.
The politics of history
Practical Politics
Last years' smash film hit, "Lincoln," was a great piece of cinematic work. It deserved all of the accolades it received. However, based as it was on the intensive research and documentation that director Spielberg said was done in preparation for shooting the film, it was rather amazing that some very fundamental aspects of President Lincoln's character and signature executive order were not included anywhere in the film.
The politics of delusion
Sen. Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz, (R-Texas) will not go away. Unlike a House Republican who only has a two-year term and has to constantly rerun for office, the good Senator Mr. Cruz, who was one of the primary architects of the recent government shutdown and the attempt to irreversibly damage the 'full faith and credit' of the U.S. government, was elected to a six-year term in November 2012.
The Politics of Street Lit
Practical Politics
Since the creation of Black American (African American) culture, every generation of Black folks in the U.S. has produced its own creative literature, music, dance, etc. That is because part of the consistent core and character of Black culture is its continuing liveliness, quest to "tell the truth about what it is" and its ability to "snatch whatever good got left in the shadows and corners of life."
A gilded gift
Practical Politics
Giving further compelling evidence that Black culture is waning steadily and speedily into oblivion, ushered there by this generation of Black folk, recently Dr. Dre (Andre Young), in collaboration with Interscope Records mogul Jimmy Lovine, announced a $70 million donation to the University of Southern California, a school Dr. Dre could not have gained admission to 'straight outta Compton.' He went to Centennial High and transferred to Fremont, before attending Chester Adult School.
What's up with African American literacy rates?
In the world of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other quick strike information processes, why is there a definite lack of evidence of a steady upward progression of reading and writing skills among African American contributors?
The politics of a consumer-friendly eminent domain
Even though, according to a recent evaluation report by Barclays Bank, the California Homeowner Bill of Rights—which became official on Jan. 1, 2013—is having a definite impact on slowing bank foreclosures in the state, some municipalities still end up with far too many blighted areas within their borders, as underwater homes get seized by banks or simply abandoned by distraught homeowners unable to make their mortgage payments.
The politics of paying for the N-word
In Lee Daniels' new movie, "The Butler," the first part of the story gives one of the most compelling arguments in any modern media for African Americans to cease and desist from calling each other the N-word.

Should I Up-Grade or Buy Something Else?

Posted July 15, 2012 at 6:51PM
I'm looking to upgrade or buy a pre-owned tower to replace my present system. At present the core of my system is (this was purchase new in January 2008): Mother board: Asus P5NESLI S775,DDR2,PCI-E,SATA2,5.1Snd,GBlan, ATX Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66Ghz LGA775. Ram: 2 x (2x1024mb) Dual Channel DDR2 667Mhz (4gb) VGA card: 512Mb nVidia GeForce 8800 GT PCI-Express. Case: AXT with 450W PSU DVD Writer: NEC AD-5200A-OB 20X+/-DVD-R Dual Layer.
In total it has 6 USB's 2 of which are on the front of the case and my son has destroyed these by knocking them when items were plugged in etc. The DVD writer has never been much good refusing to read many disc that are read by other devices and it'd never worked well for burning either. The system also blue screens often (has done pretty much since new) have mover ram in and out but makes no difference. I also get messages whenever I plug in a USB devise telling be my USB speed in low and should be faster. I need to reinstall the operating system (W7) as everything from IE and even WE keep crashing and I need my front USB outlets back and so earlier turned to ebay to see about buying a new or second-hand case/tower to swap my system into. Then I started thinking are these parts compatible with all towers? Is my blue screen problem connected to my PSU - do I need a bigger and better one? If I'm going to replace the case, DVD writer, PSU would I just be better of purchasing a second hand higher spec tower which I could just move my hard drive into?
I have no problem with the overall speed of my system. The display is fine for what I use it for. I do want it to stop blue screening and need it to be far better in the DVD & USB department. I have also found it annoying that I was unable to extra hard drive in it that I had as there are not enough power connections. I do not play the latest games – my son dose uses it for on line kid's games. I do quite a bit of down loading. I'm connected to Virgin Broadband 30Gb. I use it to stream media at times. So what would the experts recommend? Would I get a better spec for my budget £150/£200 second hand? If so what should I be looking out for? Or should I just upgrade what I have? I'm perfectly fine with the mechanics of fixing the system together (building). All and any help very gratefully received Emily x

Yes back-up copleted at about 2am this morning. Unfortunatley it'sa backup that I don't think I'll be able to use with a new install on a new Hard drive :(.
I'm going to hook up a spare internal HD tonight and just copy my Libraries.
Still be interested if anyone would recomment that system on ebay?

I'd have said that was a good machine, and good value. HP kit is usually pretty reliable, and that's a good spec for the money. The seller has 40,000+ transactions to his name, and 99% positive feedback. That said, much of his negative feedback seems to be on the systems he has sold. I've bought around a dozen PCs on eBay, and never had any problems, though. If there's a downside to branded kit - e.g. Dell, HP - it's that it can be more difficult to upgrade than a no-name black box.

The more information I get the harder the decision is becoming. Had not thought I might have problems with compatibility fitting a new hard drive and installing Windows 7. I'm guessing this because they use their own internal hardware for which drivers are hard to find?
Is there a way I can test my graphics card to see if my BSOD problem is on that?
Likes # 0
Posted July 16, 2012 at 12:08PM
The drivers will be somewhere online. The internals will likely be standard parts. You can use Speccy to see what you have (and Device Manager)
Try updating your Graphics Driver by downloading from its manufacturers website.
Or take it out and use onboard graphics if you have them. Or try reseating the graphics card. Or try another card.
....I don't think I'll be able to use with a new install on a new Hard drive :(.
Image Backups should not be be Restored to a different system (it won't boot properly).
But they can be Mounted as a virtual drive and the desired files and folders copied to the new drive.
Even W7 Images can be mounted relatively easily, if you did it that way, although MS say it can't be done.
(Attach the .vhd file saved in WindowsImageBackup folder in Windows Disk Management. The folder permissions need to be unlocked first)

BSODs caused by drivers or corrupt windows files (failing hard drive sectors) Slow USB caused by incorrect drivers (Enhanced driver missing or corrupt)
Use the drive checking tool in windows to test the drive.
Use the W7 DVD to repair windows missing or corrupt system files
Download the latest drivers for your system or even uninstall and reinstall all drivers to ensure they work correctly.
The error code on the BSOD (Ox0000...) tells us what hardware driver is causing the problem.

So grateful for all this help but more queries arise:
Enhanced driver missing or corrupt? How do I update that driver?
Use 'drive checking tool in windows to test the drive' where do I find this.
Now have a further issue - attached a spare 500BG hard drive to copy my libraries to. Now getting a windows message saying my original C drive is failing and I should back up. Would this have anything to do with my attaching the second HD? Is there a way of testing the HD. I have run the window Disc Check and all's ok there. Emily x

Just in case you're still thinking about replacing it. I chanced upon this seller on eBay. To have achieved 100% positive feedback on nearly 2,000 transactions, the very large majority of which look like they're complete PCs, is close to miraculous. It might be worth keeping an eye on this seller. And no, I'm no relation.

Councilmember Wood on new Lansing budget
By Mark Bashore
The Lansing City Council approved a 2015 fiscal year budget totaling $118 million on Monday night. The budget debate was less intense than in recent years since the city did not face a deficit. The document was essentially the same one proposed by Mayor Virg Bernero back in March.
City council member Carol Wood discusses business such as a planned move by the Lansing Police Department and what's in next year's budget.

Manicurist Job Description and Employment Outlook
Learn about the education and preparation needed to become a manicurist. Get a quick view of the requirements as well as details about training, job duties and state licensing to find out if this is the career for you.
Essential Information
Manicurists, also called nail technicians, are personal appearance specialists or cosmetologists who work on the care and beautification of fingernails and cuticles. They work in spas and beauty salons. Manicurists must complete a cosmetology or nail technology program that is sanctioned by the state, and these programs usually take less than a year to complete. After graduation, prospective manicurists must pay a licensing fee and pass a certification examination in every state except Connecticut.
|Required Education
|Nail technology or cosmetology program
|Other Requirements
|Most states require a license
|Projected Job Growth (manicurists and pedicurists)
|16% from 2012-22*
|Median Salary (manicurists and pedicurists)
|$19,340 (2013)*
Source: * U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
Manicurist Job Description and Skills
A manicurist's job includes examining the color and condition of a client's fingernails; trimming, filing and shaping nails with scissors and emery boards; applying nail polish to produce a hard, glossy finish; and providing hand care by soaking fingers in softening solution or applying softening gel. In addition to direct service, manicurists advise clients on proper nail care techniques and recommend hand and nail care products.
Manicurists need high manual dexterity to manipulate tools with a precise yet gentle touch, effective sales skills and current knowledge of nail fashion. They must also maintain a neat personal appearance and tidy work area and be able to establish rapport with clients. Those who plan to operate a salon of their own also need a measure of business acumen for sales, marketing and office management.
Hundreds of public community colleges and private beauty schools offer certificate programs for manicurists, which generally can be completed in less than one year. A high school diploma or GED is typically a prerequisite for enrollment. Programs are likely to cover the fundamentals of nail care, nail products and nail care technology. Advanced topics may include infection control and safety and an introduction to business concepts. In many cases the classroom environment is a simulated salon with all necessary tools and equipment. Students who hold a certificate from an accredited school are prepared to take a state licensing exam, which is required to perform work in most states.
Career Information and Employment Outlook
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, manicurists and pedicurists earned a median wage of $19,340 as of May 2013. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projected a 16% job growth for manicurists over the years 2012-2022, faster than for other job categories. Growth was expected to be driven by an expansion in the number of full-service salons as consumers shift to smaller-scale, affordable luxuries.

Patricia Racette and Roberto Alagna Star in Puccini's Tosca 1/10
Patricia Racette will return to the title role of Puccini's Tosca, which she sang at the Met to great acclaim in the 2009-10 season, for six performances beginning January 10. Roberto Alagna and Aleksandrs Antonenko (in his Met role debut) will alternate as the heroic Cavaradossi, while George Gagnidze and James Morris will return to the role of the lustful Baron Scarpia. Rising Finnish conductor Mikko Franck, who is the Artistic Director and General Music Director of the Finnish National Opera, will lead all six performances in his Met debut.
Racette gave an acclaimed and vivid portrayal of the tortured diva Tosca at the Met in spring 2010. She has also sung the role with the Washington National Opera, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the Ravinia Festival, and the Houston Grand Opera. Since her debut as Musetta in Puccini's La Bohème in the Met's 1994-95 season, she has gone on to sing many of the composer's heroines, including Mimì in La Bohème; the lead soprano roles in Il Tabarro, Suor Angelica, and Gianni Schicchi, the operas that compose Il Trittico; and Cio-Cio-San in Madama Butterfly, a role she repeats at the Met later this season.
Alagna made an unexpected house role debut as Cavaradossi at the Met last season, as a last-minute replacement for his ailing colleague Marcelo Álvarez. In addition to Alagna's performances in Tosca on January 10 and 14, he will sing the title role in Gounod's Faust on December 23 and 28. Antonenko, who takes the role beginning January 18, made his debut as the Prince in Dvo?ák's Rusalka in the Met's 2008-09 season and has since sung notable performances of Luigi in Il Tabarro (opposite Racette) and Grigory in the new production premiere of Boris Godunov. Gagnidze first sang Scarpia in the premiere of Luc Bondy's production, which opened the Met's 2009-10 season. Scarpia is one of Morris's most frequent Met roles; he has sung it more than 75 times with the Met since his role debut in the 1990-91 season.

Keep up with the good work, you've got a really nice game on your hands.
Through is an RPG with a focus on tactical combat and resource management. It is heavily inspired by other Roguelikes. However, Through carries some key differences. There is a large focus on accessibility and ease of use as well as simplicity and transparent design (for instance, your character only has a Strength and Intelligence stat). If you're looking for a deep RPG system thats easy to pick-up and play but difficult to master, give Through a shot.

The newest version of Through adds Altars and Ghosts.
Posted by porousnapkin on Jun 23rd, 2012
Through v2.1 adds two new features: Altars and Ghosts.
Altars are new special blocks that emit an aura that affects all squares around them. Trick your opponents into fighting in negative auras and keep them out of the positive ones. It adds a nice tactical element allowing smart players to turn the tides in their favor. Altars do not show up in Beginner difficulty. You'll start seeing them a few floors into Tough difficulty and right out the gate in Insane.
Below is an image of an Altar a Pain that damages anyone who steps into its aura (like that skeleton).
The next new feature is Ghosts. Ghosts are a new enemy that begin appearing when you spend a lot of time on a single floor. They can't take damage or be killed, so you will want to get off the floor before they start appearing. This feature replaces the hunger clock so you no longer have to worry about eating. Ghosts are intended to encourage players to think about when they can safely rest and when they have to keep pushing on.
For a detailed change list, check out the patch notes in the forum.
Keep up with the good work, you've got a really nice game on your hands.
Amen. Thinking of doing a review about this too. Might not be in the near future but I'm might interested. Here's a sample free software review: Imbacore.blogspot.com
That'd be great! I'd love to read some feedback. Just want to note that the game is still a work in progress, so feel free to point out what direction you'd like the game to be moving in as well. And send me a link if you do write it.

'Stars' shine for ABC during July 4 holiday week
By Cynthia Littleton
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – The broadcast networks
scraped the bottom of the Nielsen barrel in the week ending
July 10, which encompassed the Independence Day holiday.
ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" finale Wednesday was the
only program to buck the traditional swoon in primetime
viewership around the Fourth of July. In a sign of the times,
USA Network's fourth-season premiere of the comedy-drama "Monk"
on Friday drew higher ratings than many of the summer original
series airing last week on the Big Four broadcast networks,
according to Nielsen Media Research.
Buoyed by the strength of its core schedule, even in
repeats, CBS had no trouble taking the weekly win in total
viewers, with an average of 7.4 million, and the eye network
tied ABC for No. 1 in the adults 18-49 demo (2.0 rating/7
Fox and NBC were right behind them, tied at a 1.9/6. ABC
was No. 2 in viewers (6.1 million), followed by NBC (5.8
million), Fox (4.4 million), UPN (2.3 million) and WB Network
(1.9 million). UPN and WB were both just as bad off as their
older broadcast siblings in their target demo of adults 18-34,
with UPN averaging a 1.0/4 to WB's 0.8/3.
The week began at a low ebb with holiday-light viewing
levels Monday. CBS had the most-watched fireworks special with
10 p.m.'s "Boston Pops Fireworks" (7.7 million, 1.6/6) thanks
to the assist from its 9 p.m. lead-in, a "CSI: Miami" repeat
(7.1 million, 2.1/8).
The week's standout amid the summer doldrums was the 9 p.m.
Wednesday "Dancing With the Stars" clincher, which crowned
"General Hospital" star Kelly Monaco the winner of the
six-episode dance-competition series. "Stars" (22.4 million,
6.7/19) was by far the most-watched program of the week, and it
generated the highest demo score.
CBS opened the door to "Big Brother 6″ (8.5 million,
3.4/11) on Thursday. The 8 p.m. reality show was slightly off
its game compared with summer 2004′s premiere, but it still
helped the network stay far ahead of the rest of the primetime
pack on the night.
On Friday, the 10 p.m. "Monk" (6.4 million, 2.4/7) topped
(albeit narrowly) everything offered on the night in the
broadcast realm in the key adults 18-49 demographic. In total
viewers, the only program that drew a larger audience than
"Monk" was ABC's 10 p.m. newsmagazine "20/20″ (6.7 million,
2.3/7), and NBC's two-hour "Dateline NBC" (6.4 million, 2.1/7)
matched "Monk's" audience.
"Monk" also outpaced such original unscripted fare as NBC's
Tuesday 8-10 p.m. combo of "Average Joe" (4.9 million, 2.0/6)
and "I Want to Be a Hilton" (2.0/6) and CBS' 8 p.m. Wednesday
entry "The Cut" (4 million, 1.3/4).
NBC on Saturday gave a free-TV showcase to its sibling Sci
Fi Channel series "Battlestar Galactica" (2.3 million, 0.8/3)
with minimal results. On Sunday, underwhelming numbers for the
debut of Fox's 8:30 p.m. reality series "The Princes of Malibu"
(5 million, 2.6/8) rounded out an unimpressive week.
Lifetime scored the highest-rated original movie of the
year to date Monday with "Murder in the Hamptons," which
attracted 4.8 million. In addition to basic cable competitors,
Lifetime managed to top ABC, UPN and WB in key female demos.
VH1 got strong results Sunday from the series premiere of
"Hogan Knows Best," which became the second-highest-rated
program ever on the channel by reaching 2.7 million. The other
members of VH1′s "Celebreality" block also succeeded as "The
Surreal Life's" fifth-season premiere drew 2 million, while the
second-season premiere of "Celebrity Fit Club" drew 2.2

BAKER CITY, Ore. -- Oregon State Police and transportation officials are asking for the public's help in locating a vehicle that left the scene of a crash last week.
Police say the crash Thursday night knocked down a street sign and caused extensive damage to a guardrail on the eastbound on-ramp to Interstate 84 from Cedar Street, just north of Baker City.
Troopers believe the crash happened sometime between 10:00 and 11:00 Thursday night.
The vehicle may be a late 1980s or early 1990s Ford pickup and likely has extensive front damage, police said.
Anyone with information on the crash, the vehicle, or driver is asked to call Oregon State Police at (541) 523-5867.

AC Milan striker Pippo Inzaghi is hopeful of a call-up for the Euro2008 Italy squad.
After banging home a hat-trick in Sunday's victory over Livorno, Inzaghi said: "It was a very important game and I am happy for the win as well as the three goals I scored.
"I'm on incredible form personally and it's hard to believe because I thought it would be tough.
"I must continue to do my part if I am to make it to Euro 2008. I'm available if I am needed, but if not I will stay at home without any quibbling.
"At the moment I am calm and just looking to keep going forward like this. It is a fantastic time and it is great to be playing here.
"Kaka, Andrea Pirlo and Clarence Seedorf are such amazing players and keep setting me up in front of goal."

The holiday season is a boom time for the sale of consumer electronics, which means it's also prime time for retailers to push extended-service contracts onto their customers. The contracts lengthen the terms of manufacturers' warranties — for a hefty fee. Consider that Best Buy right now is charging $310 to insure a $480 laptop against spills, drops or other damage for three years.
Thirteen teams of undergraduate QUEST honors students presented the results of their capstone projects to an audience of hundreds at the annual QUEST Conference on Thursday, Dec. 11, 2014, at the Riggs Alumni Center.
This semester Center for Social Value Creation program Manager Pammi Bhullar connected the 17th cohort of student to high performing nonprofits for semester-long consulting projects through the ChangeTheWorld.org Nonprofit consulting program at the Robert H. Smith School of Business. This year, fifty UMD students, both graduate and Undergraduate, worked with eleven nonprofits on strategic consulting projects.
Smith School faculty and staff were clad in chef hats and "I Heart Smith Seniors" aprons for the Second Annual Smith Senior Pancake Night on Monday, Dec. 15, 2014.
Now in its fourth year at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, Social Innovation Fellows (SIF) welcomed a new face of the program this Fall. Professor David Kirsch has taken on the SIF curriculum and breathed a new energy into the program. "So far, I think SIF is more of an experience than a class." said Mandy Yard, current SIF Fellow. "I have been able to learn business concepts and apply them to real life, while focusing on how to change the world."

Comments about Smart Destinations Charles Riverboat Cruise:
Easy to use, easy to get ticket before the cruise. Great way to see Boston. Guide was funny and entertaining. Go Boston Card was great, we got to do lots of attractions and saved on cost. We did more attractions with the Go Boston card than if we hadn't baught it, it makes you discover lots of great things about Boston. Would recommend it to anyone. We used it for 2 adults and 2 children and saved at least 300$

Comments about Smart Destinations Charles Riverboat Cruise:
Our trip was cut short due to boat problems, but a second boat swiftly arrived and a great group of people were operating it. Highly recommend the 10am lock tour. The locks were one of the highlights of the trip. It also incorporated the same sites as the Boston Harbor Cruise! Loved the trip, left very relaxed and wishing it wouldn't end.

Abydos: the sacred land at the western horizon

Joint ticket (Colloquium and Sackler lecture) £65, Members/concessions (Colloquium and Sackler lecture) £40
Undergraduate and postgraduate students (UK Universities) £20 for joint ticket
Abydos is one of the most fascinating sites of Egypt. Chosen as the burial ground for the first kings of Egypt, it inevitably became a site of great antiquity, and its ancient sanctity may have been a factor in conferring legitimacy on the royal individuals buried there. The site soon became the cult centre for Egypts most popular god, Osiris, who ruled the netherworld and guaranteed every Egyptian eternal life after death. As a result of continued ritual performance, endowments and pilgrimage, a vast landscape of chapels and tombs, temples and towns, developed. For millennia, Abydos was one of the most consecrated sites of Egypt. Since the end of the 19th century, archaeologists have made surprising discoveries revealing the historical and cultural richness of the site. This colloquium aims at contextualising the most recent fieldwork by including object studies and research on broader patterns of ritual, urban and economic activity. In this two-day conference, leading academic colleagues will address the social and cultural dynamics of an ever-changing landscape serving a unique ritual narrative.
The Raymond and Beverly Sackler Foundation Distinguished Lecture in Egyptology 2015 will be held in conjunction with the colloquium, in the BP Lecture Theatre, on Friday 10 July at 18.00:
At the gate of the ancestors: saint cults and the politics of the past at Abydos
The lecture will be presented by Janet Richards, University of Michigan, USA.
This can be booked as part of a joint ticket price from this page. To book only for the Sackler lecture a separate event page has been set up
A full programme and abstracts will be published here nearer the time. Please note: when booking a ticket for the Colloquium, only the date 9 July will show during the booking process but any ticket purchased is for both days. Concessions are British Museum Members, Egypt Exploration Society members, British Egyptian Society members, and Sudan Archaeological Research Society members.

Hooray for Diffendoofer Day!by Seuss
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Started by Dr. Seuss, finished by Jack Prelutsky, and illustrated by Lane Smith, Hooray for Diffendoofer Day! is a joyous ode to individuality starring unsinkable teacher Miss Bonkers and the quirky Diffendoofer School (which must prove it has taught its students how to think--or have them sent to dreary Flobbertown). Included is an introduction by Dr. Seuss's longtime editor explaining how the book came to be and reproductions of Dr. Seuss's original pencil sketches and hand-printed notes for the book—a true find for all Seuss collectors! Jack Prelutsky and Lane Smith pay homage to the Good Doctor in their own distinctive ways, the result of which is the union of three one-of-a-kind voices in a brand-new, completely original book that is greater than the sum of its parts. For all of us who will never forget our school days and that special teacher, here is a book to give and to get.
Started by Seuss, finished by Prelutsky, and illustrated by Lane Smith, "Hooray for Diffendoofer Day!" is a joyous ode to individuality. The story stars an unsinkable teacher named Miss Bonkers and quirky little Diffendoofer School, which must prove it has taught its students how to think. Includes Seuss' original 1989 pencil sketches and hand-printed notes for the book. Full color.
About the Author
Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a career in advertising. His advertising cartoons, featuring Quick, Henry, the Flit!, appeared in several leading American magazines. Dr. Seuss's first children's book, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and the world of children's literature was changed forever! In 1957, Seuss's The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one of Random House's best- selling series, Beginner Books. This popular series combined engaging stories with outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to teach basic reading skills. Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped kids learn to read. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three Academy Awards, Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 children's books, some of which have been made into audiocassettes, animated television specials, and videos for children of all ages. Even after his death in 1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling author of children's books in the world.
Jack Prelutsky was born in Brooklyn, New York. He attended New York City Public Schools and studied voice at the High School of Music and Art. He enrolled in Hunter College in Manhattan but left soon after "to become a beatnik". Jack has been a cab driver, a busboy, a photographer, a furniture mover, a potter, and a folk singer. He enjoys bicycling, playing racquetball, woodworking and cooking. He lives in Washington State with his wife Carolynn and a vast collection of poetry books and frogs in every shape, size, and form — except living! There was a time when Jack couldn't stand poetry. In grade school he had a teacher who left him with the impression that poetry was the literary equivalent of liver. He rediscovered poetry in his twenties, and he decided that he would write about things that kids really cared about, and that he would strive to make poetry delightful. He has been writing poetry for more than twenty years and has published more than three dozen books for children.

Winter weather does a number on Augusta National
"There's so much luck involved," said McDowell, who used a 52-degree wedge. "I was just trying to make sure I got it past the flag to have a chance on the way back."
TORN LOYALTIES: Stewart Cink tees off two groups ahead of Tiger Woods, so his mother will have no choice whom to watch.
It wasn't like that the first time they played in the same tournament.
Cink recalls playing in the Insurance Youth Golf Classic - the "Big I" - in Texas in 1990 when he was 17 and Woods was 14. Cink had a morning tee time in the opening round. When it was over and he was ready to leave, he noticed his mother heading back onto the course.
"She said she wanted to go see what this 'Tiger Woods' was all about," Cink said. "I remember I had to go find something to do because she had the car. But that was really the first time people were starting to find out about Tiger."
Cink wound up playing in the final group of that tournament with Woods and Notah Begay. Woods ended up winning, becoming the youngest winner of the tournament.
ASIAN AMATEUR: The winner of the inaugural Asian Amateur Championship is at the Masters, and the runner-up went on to qualify for the British Open.
But Augusta National chairman Billy Payne is just as excited about the rest of the field.
Augusta National Golf Club and the Royal & Ancient Golf Club help sponsor the Asian Amateur as a way to spur development in golf's fastest-growing market. The first tournament, held the last week in October in Shenzhen, China, drew 116 players from 30 countries in the Asia Pacific Golf Confederation.
"The top two-thirds were good - really good, competitive golfers," Payne said Wednesday. "But the experience of those that were not as good was just as important to us because of the way they now view the opportunity, and the way they now know that in us and the R&A, they have an ally. This is going to be a long-range, long-reaching effort on our part to help grow the game in these regions."
FEATURE GROUP: The Masters is putting a spotlight on youth for its featured pairing on the Internet. Each round it will pick a group to follow on the back nine and broadcast it through live streaming on http://www.masters.com .
For the opening round, it picked the group of Mike Weir, Lee Westwood and Matteo Manassero, the 16-year-old British Amateur champion and youngest player to ever compete in the Masters.
Club chairman Billy Payne was asked Wednesday if it had been determined who would be the featured pairing.
"I think yes, we have," Payne said.
Payne then asked spokesman Steve Ethun to confirm it had been released, and when Ethun said, 'No, sir,' Payne turned back to the reporter and replied with a slight smile, "We're still working on it."

The third prototype of the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Matsya 3.0 was unveiled by the team of students and faculty of the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay on Tuesday. The AUV has been developed by a 30-member team from the institute, which has worked on it since 2011.
The AUV in its third edition and has added a geo locator. That means it can tell the vehicle's location by using its sensors. "The total cost of the AUV is Rs22 lakh. The previous edition was made at almost half the cost. The cost of the new sensors is approximately Rs12 lakh," said Mihir Gupta, team leader, AUV-IIT-B. The maximum depth that the vehicle can reach has increased from 40-feet to 150-feet.
The vehicle will represent IIT-B at the International RoboSub competition at San Diego, between July 28 and August 3, 2014. The competition entails the development of an unmanned autonomous underwater vehicle by implementing concepts from different streams of engineering namely mechanical, electrical, computer science, aerospace and material sciences. The vehicle can localise itself in an underwater environment and perform real life navy-based task.
Explaining what can be expected from the product, Gupta said, "Over the past three years, the team has followed an iterative design process. Experience at an international level has enabled and driven us to achieve excellence in each subdivision of the AUV. We focus on extensive R&D and most components are produced ingeniously and in-house. Matsya 3.0, has been designed keeping in mind the product level features and finish."
According to the team, the AUV can be commercially used for defense purposes of detection and surveillance, underwater power lines, marine research, shipwreck and airplane debris reconnaissance. "The USA has deployed a similar AUVs in the Indian Ocean for the search of the missing Malaysian jet MH370," said Gupta.

Dexter's Laboratory: Robot Rampage
|Dexter's Laboratory: Robot Rampage
|BAM! Entertainment
|Game Boy Color
|Release date(s)
|Action, Side-scrolling, Platform game
Dexter's Laboratory: Robot Rampage is an action video game published by BAM! Entertainment for the Game Boy Color and released in the United States on November 14, 2000. It is a redesign of the game Elevator Action EX, also developed by Altron, with characters from the American animated television series Dexter's Laboratory from Cartoon Network.
The gameplay is very similar to Elevator Action and Elevator Action EX. The player, as Dexter, runs through different levels via elevators, elevator shafts, small cars, ledges, and doors while battling robots with an assortment of weapons. Three different Dexter suits are available, though they have no effect on gameplay. Each stage ends with the player facing a line of enemies.
Jeff Gerstmann of GameSpot gave the game a 6.9/10 in his review, complimenting it for its use of classic Elevator Action gameplay.[1] IGN editor Marc Nix gave the game a 7/10, praising the game's improvements to the original, such as the added puzzles and life bar, but criticizing the game's lackluster stage endings.[2]

Priority One: Waste of money or Necessary?

Interesting topic and discussion. Being that I have worked first hand with P1, I thought I'd share my thoughts.
Priority One, Stringing & Customizing, and The Hall Of Fame
40K a year is actually very little when one actually sees what is provided for players at tournaments. Take for example, Federer. He may give P1 5 or 6 frames to string for practice, then another 5 or 6 for the match later that day. At $25 per re-string, that's about $250 a day. Multiply that times 10 (if he makes the final), and that's over $2,500 for a tournament. If Fed plays all 4 majors, and then 8 masters, that's over $30,000 alone just for re-stringing his frames.
Now, there is the customizing of each and every one of his frames to exact specifications, which could be well over 40 frames a year. Additionally, over 40 frames a year which have custom molded handles.
Additionally, Federer doesn't have to worry about his equipment. P1 carries a lot of his equipment for him (racquets, strings, grips, overgrips, etc).
Add to that the fact that all his frames are being strung by the same guy, with the same machine, and he has a personal racquet technician traveling with him throughout the year.
In my opinion, it's peanuts, and I just barely gave you guys a glimpse of what is done for their Gold clients. Some of these players give them up to 20 frames a day to string.
Just food for thought.

The Department of Agriculture finalized the Biomass Crop Assistance Program, which could help double the income of farmers supplying feedstock for cellulosic-ethanol production. The program allows farmers to receive payments to defray the cost of collection, storage and shipment of cellulosic feedstocks. The BCAP also helps participating farmers get paid up to 75% of the cost of cultivating perennial crops for cellulosic-ethanol production.

Sectarian violence kills at least 20 in Myanmar
The government of Thein Sein is constrained from using open force to quell unrest because it needs foreign approval in order to woo aid and investment. The previous military junta had no such compunctions about using force, and was ostracized by the international community for its human rights abuses.
There was no apparent direct connection between the Meikhtila violence and that last year in Rakhine state. Rakhine Buddhists allege that Rohingya are mostly illegal immigrants from neighboring Bangladesh. The Muslim population of Meikhtila is believed to be mostly of Indian origin, and although religious tensions are longstanding, the incident sparking the violence seemed to be a small and isolated dispute.

I know there is a board for people who don't like immunizations but I am just throwing this out there.
I work for a school for Autistic children. Even during trainng they told us numerous studies show that MMR does not lead to autism. Heres the thing though. Many parents swear that their child changed over night. This makes me nervous. Many of the children got a high fever and after the high fever were never the same. Many regressed and lost language that they already had. It just puts up a red flag for me. I have read that you can wait until the child is older to have the shot done. If there is any chance that this is what does this to these children I don't want to be responsible for doing that to my daughter. It is my belief that at a year old the body of a child is not strong enough to handle the MMR. I believe it is a combination of having the gene for autism and getting that shot too early. I am waiting until my daughter is 3 or 4 years old to have her get the shot. I believe that the shot is important but not at such an early age. Is anyone else thinking about waiting to get this shot done later than 1 year? Thoughts?

Allergies Health Center
How to Avoid Pollen
In this article
Pollen doesn't mean to bug you. It's there to help plants reproduce. But if you inhale it, it can cause allergy symptoms such as:
- Sneezing
- Watery eyes
- Nasal congestion
- Runny nose
- Itchy throat
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Hoarse voice
It's a lot like a cold, and you usually get it like clockwork when those pollen-making plants start to bloom.
