Prince George�s County cannot be ignored this election season
There was a time when Prince George�s County voters were considered predictable. Those days appear to be over.
In the past, campaign strategists generally anticipated the county — home to some of the largest mega-churches in the region and where nearly 80 percent of registered voters are Democrats — would simply vote along party lines or largely on religious beliefs.
However, questions that will appear on the ballot this November are showing the rest of the state that Prince George�s is not monolithic in its voting. The county is made up of a diverse population of different income levels and varied beliefs — and can no longer be taken for granted.
For example, Question 6 on the ballot, regarding whether to allow same-sex marriage, would have — in the past — been considered a no-go in Prince George�s given the heavy influence of places of worship. Many churches have argued that marriage must be between a man and a woman, and have led the fight against the proposal.
However, according to some polls, voters in support of same-sex marriage appear to be taking a lead statewide, and voters are almost evenly split in the black community, especially since the announced support by President Barack Obama, who received widespread support in the county.
As a matter of fact, a Prince George�s pastor, Delman Coates of Clinton�s Mount Ennon Baptist Church, which touts a congregation of more than 7,000, is among those leading the push for same-sex marriage. And another Prince George�s pastor, Derek McCoy, is leading the fight against it.
Similarly, Question 7, which could allow for a casino in the county, goes against traditional thinking that Prince George�s voters would shun a plan that contradicts faith-based morals. Yes, the churches in Prince George�s remain busy, but so, too, are Maryland Lottery retailers. About 15 percent of the more than 860,000 residents in Prince George�s played the lottery in fiscal 2011, accounting for a little more than 20 percent of sales, according to the Maryland State Lottery Agency.
Clearly, Prince Georgians are not one-dimensional and, for a change, campaigns are going to have to fight to win votes in the county.
Those on both sides of the gambling and same-sex marriage debates acknowledge that Prince George�s is one of the main battle grounds in their fights, and they are spending millions in advertising to sway county voters. All are planning intensive educational outreach to ensure voters get as much information as they need. Truly a nice change of pace.
Granted, voters haven�t lost all predictability. For political offices, county voters are likely to stick close to party lines, like much of the nation. Many Republicans probably won�t even visit the county, assuming their words will fall on deaf ears.
For Prince George�s, however, although the ballot issues remain up for debate, the county�s political standing is no longer in question. Prince George�s isn�t sitting on the sidelines; it�s in the game.

I have more than 18 years experience in localization business, having worked as an in-house translator and language analyst (responsible for linguistic quality) at one of the top localization vendors for the last 15 years. I strongly believe the quality of translation is the most important aspect in localization. If translation quality doesn't meet the expectation of the end-users, meeting the tight deadlines or certain profitability is no use. Japanese is one of the most fussiest languages of all in terms of quality, and I hope to be able to contribute to the world of localization with the best of my abilities in bringing the standard of Japanese translation.

As I See It
Herbert Bautista and Rico E. Puno
Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista should be commended for yielding to the public clamor against politicians polluting the city with their names and pictures on billboards, tarpaulins, posters, banners, waiting sheds, basketball courts, roads, plant boxes on islands in the middle of the streets, etc., etc. These advertisements purport to inform the public that the politician is the sponsor of this or that project, but of course the real purpose is to curry votes. The mayor himself had his initials "HB" etched on the tiles decorating the plant boxes on the city's major thoroughfares, which created an uproar among the public. Recently, he had his initials painted over so commuters will no longer be irritated by them.
That done, the mayor has ordered all city politicians and officials to also remove their offensive "epal" signs. Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago has already filed a bill penalizing the beneficiaries of these "epal" signs.
The people's complaint against these self-serving ads is that the taxpayers, and not the politicians, spent for those projects. In fact, some of the money used for those projects may have gone into the politicians' private pockets.
In some banners—bearing messages such as "Happy Fiesta," "Congratulations graduates" and "Happy Birthday, Ka Erdy"—there is not even any project to speak of. It is just to advertise the name of the politician. But the taxpayers are still paying for them.
Not only that, these signs destroy the beauty—or what's left of it—of the city. These signs are hung from trees, electric wires and posts, on fences and walls. They even pose a danger when they are hung from power lines. And because they distract drivers, they also contribute to traffic accidents. So Mayor Bautista's order not only prevents other politicians from having an advantage over him after he had his initials on those decorative tiles painted over, they also reduce danger to the public.
There's just one problem with his order to politicians to remove their "epal" signs. They won't. So he has to order those same workers who painted over his initials to remove all—and I mean all—the "epal" signs and ads all over the city.
* * *
Another person to be commended is former Interior Undersecretary Rico E. Puno's resignation from his post, which President Aquino quickly accepted. Now Puno faces two investigations in Congress.
Puno was earlier reported to have attempted to "raid and ransack" the offices and living quarters of Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo after his plane crashed in the sea off Masbate. Puno was allegedly trying to get documents incriminating him in cases being investigated by Robredo. The President himself said that he had ordered Puno to "lock down" the offices of Robredo to safeguard documents.
That cleared, Puno now faces two congressional investigations on his alleged links to jueteng, illegal logging, and the purchase of overpriced guns for the Philippine National Police. According to speculations, Puno is the bagman in the collection of "tong" from jueteng operators. Another speculation is that he is the protector of illegal loggers. And think of it: P1 billion (repeat, P1 billion) in taxpayers' money would be spent to buy 60,000 pistols for the PNP. No government contract that big is ever concluded without any kickbacks to some officials, so the speculation goes.
It is well that Congress will investigate Puno for these insinuations so that the truth will come out. But let us respect the constitutional guarantee on the presumption of innocence until a person is proven guilty.
* * *
FOLLOW-UP: Last Jan. 12, I questioned here why the Department of Justice had taken over the investigation of the syndicated estafa case at the Manila City Prosecutor's Office. The complainants were questioning the motive of the DOJ.
To make the story clear, let me repeat the background on the case in that column:
"On Sept. 26, 1995, a joint-venture agreement was entered into by GIDC (Guevent Investments Development Corp.) and HBI (Honeycomb Builders Inc.) on the one hand, and Omico Corp. on the other, to develop parcels of real estate owned by GIDC and HBI along Pasong Tamo Extension in Makati. Omico was to construct the condominiums.
"Omico raised, through a public offering, P250 million to be used exclusively to develop the mixed-use condos. However, the amount was instead diverted to other projects and can no longer be accounted for. The amount went to Omico Kapital Inc., a subsidiary firm, only to be loaned back to Omico without interest.
"It is not only the two partners asking where the money went but also the thousands of small investors who bought shares of Omico's public offering. A publicly listed corporation, Omico's board chair is Antonio Lopa, a relative of President Aquino."
After an investigation, the National Bureau of Investigation filed the case with the Manila City Prosecutor's Office on Nov. 22, 2010, against two executives of Omico Corp.—Tommy Kin Hing Tia and Juana Lourdes Buyson—for alleged obstruction of justice. The two officials refused to surrender documents subpoenaed by the NBI. The DOJ took over the case soon after.
Finally, after two years of foot-dragging and buck-passing, Acting City Prosecutor Edwin Dayog filed criminal charges in court against Tia and Buyson.
The obstruction of justice complaint stemmed from the earlier syndicated estafa complaint filed with the NBI by GIDC against Omico.

Air pollution
I am a resident of Curzon Road Apartments on Kasturba Gandhi Marg in New Delhi. This housing complex is occupied by several families and children of Central Government officers. Across the road, the Maharashtra Government has started construction of a new Maharashtra Sadan, which includes demolition of an old building and construction of a new complex. Due to this activity, there is a dense accumulation of dust particles in the air all around all day posing a health hazard not only to the residents but also to passers-by in the area. Normally some sort of thick sheet fencing is put up around the area of a construction site to minimise the spread of dust. This has not been done in this case.
The Maharashtra Government is requested to take immediate steps to check the air pollution it is causing in the area.

Can't trust `em
I have subscribed to the Senior Citizens' Unit Plan-1993 (Membership No. SC9740010001990). Under this scheme, the Unit Trust of India buys insurance premium for the first seven years by using the units in the subscriber's account. My last insurance premium was purchased on 1-4-2003, but in the statement for 2003-2004, which I received only in November 2005, I noticed that they had deducted twice the units against purchase of insurance premium on 01-04-2003.
Since November 2005 I have been sending them requests and reminders for refund by e-mail and ordinary post but I have not got any reply so far nor any statement for the years after 2003-2004.
I have even made a complaint through their website (December 14; No.7324) but in vain.
I look forward to some action now.

Railways' ways
Every Indian travelling by the Indian Railways must have suffered the loss of precious time, money and mental peace. I wish to share with other readers the complaint I filed with the Railways on January 25 at New Delhi station, knowing well that these complaints end up in the dustbins of railway offices.
"Train No.4731 New Delhi-Bathinda Inter-City Express has been running late every day for many months. Thousands of passengers have suffered mental torture and financial losses due to its regular late running for hours together. To torture passengers even more, journey by alternative trains on the route is not allowed due to the archaic rule of three-hours-late as a must for either refund or alternative train journey. This is utter insensitivity towards the passengers and causing the nation a loss of lakhs of hours in manpower and productive work -- lost due to the stupid wait at station for many hours. Is there no accountability for this national loss?"

Can't bank on `em
Despite being one of the oldest nationalised banks, the Bank of India is not ready to satisfy its customers in Delhi living near Chandni Chowk, Darya Ganj, Ansari Road and Delhi Gate. Private players like ICICI, UTI and HDFC have started operations recently in these business districts and have earned a good reputation already by installing several ATMs in the area. The Bank of India, on the other hand, has been claiming for the past three years that it will open ATMs in these busy markets soon. But not one new ATM has come up so far.
How long can one wait?

Speed Post?
The Directorate of Post is announcing new schemes every now and then, the latest being a single rate for Speed Post. But is it really Speed Post?
A letter sent to me from Bangalore by Speed Post on January 22 has reached me here in Ambikapur after seven days -- on January 29! Mind you, Ambikapur is a district headquarters of the State of Chhattisgarh.
It looked as if the letter had been forwarded by pigeon post!

Hello, MTNL....
Hello, this is Febin Ignatious again. My complaint against MTNL was published in these columns on January 8. Things moved thereafter and now my Internet connection is absolutely fine. But I had to bear a great loss: while the MTNL staff were rectifying my problem, they used up more than 200 MB from my 500 MB quota, for which I have had to pay more than Rs. 200.
I look forward to MTNL making good the loss suffered by me.

Ice Monitoring Satellite Set For Thursday Launch
The European Space Agency (ESA) is preparing to launch a satellite that should provide insight into the effect of climate change on the thickness of polar marine ice.
CryoSat-2, which will launch on April 8 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, will monitor ice packs in Greenland and Antarctica from a height of approximately 435 miles in the air. Using the data obtained from the satellite, ESA scientists are hoping to find out just what kind of affect global warming is having on the polar ice formations.
"We hope to find out more about the role the sea ice plays for the climate system and more about the height of the land ice," co-project director Heinrich Miller told Verena Schmitt-Roschmann of the Associated Press (AP) in a phone interview. "We know that it is dwindling but we don't know exactly what mechanisms are at work."
The CryoSat mission dates back to 2005, when the first model of the climate monitoring satellite was lost due to rocket failure. The following year, work began on a second version of the module, CryoSat-2. It was originally scheduled to be launched in 2009, but delays pushed back its departure date to this month. The project cost more than $187 million, according to ESA estimates.
ESA officials told Schmitt-Roschmann that CryoSat-2 is "most sophisticated ever to investigate the Earth's ice fields" and predicted that it will operate for at least three to five years.
CryoSat-2 is the third satellite in the ESA's "Earth Explorers" series. The first was the Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE), which was launched in March 2009 and is in the midst of studying changes to the gravity field. The second was the Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite, which is observing solid moisture and oceanic salinity from above the Earth's surface.

There are 4 major blood types A, B, AB, or O. Blood types are determined by the types of antigens on the blood cells. Antigens are proteins on the surfaces of blood cells that can cause a response from the immune system. Type A blood has only A antigens, type B has only B antigens, type AB has both A and B antigens, and types O has neither A nor B antigens. There are other antigens that can make blood types even more specific: one of the most common is the Rh factor.
As part of your prenatal care, you will have blood tests to find out your blood type. If your blood lacks the Rh antigen, it is called Rh negative. If it has the antigen, it is called Rh positive. More than 85% of people in the world are Rh positive. When the mother is Rh negative and the father is Rh positive, the fetus can inherit the Rh factor from the father, which makes the fetus Rh positive, too. Problems can arise when the fetus's blood has the Rh factor and the mother's does not.
If a small amount of the fetus's blood mixes with the mother's blood, which often happens, the mother's body may respond as if it were allergic to the fetus by making antibodies to the Rh antigens in the fetus's blood. This means the mother has become sensitized. Her antibodies can then cross the placenta and attack the fetus's blood, breaking down its red blood cells and causing anemia. This can lead to serious illness or even death in the fetus or newborn.
The first pregnancy poses little risk because it takes time for the mother's antibodies to build up after being exposed to the antigens. But once they are formed, antibodies do not go away. The best course is to keep the mother from being sensitized and forming antibodies in the first place. If you are Rh negative and blood tests show that you have not become sensitized, your doctor will prescribe Rh immune globulin (RhIg) injections. This blood product prevents the mother from forming antibodies. It is usually injected right after the birth of your first baby to prevent harm to your next one. It may also be given during pregnancy, usually at about 28 weeks of pregnancy.
If you have already become sensitized, your fetus is at risk. As your pregnancy progresses, your doctor will check the levels of antibodies in your blood. If they become high, special tests may be done to check your fetus's health.
If the fetus is anemic, it will need a blood transfusion. After 18 weeks of pregnancy, these transfusions can be given while the fetus is still in the uterus. If the fetus is old enough, early delivery may be an option. The baby can be treated in a special-care nursery. If you have become sensitized, other babies you have after your first may be at risk. They will to be monitored carefully throughout pregnancy.

Yeah, if you look closely on the video from last Monday you can see a spring blow out from the side of Dave's premature gray scalp. Dial down, Davey. Back off the espresso. Take a deep breath . . . relax . . . walk it off . . . put on some Kenny G and do some T'ai Chi or something . . . 'cause you're scaring the children.
Is the Cheney story the story we should be obsessing on right now? Well, in a word: No. Granted, he is the Veep, and he did shoot someone; but come on, this is not the most important news item in the US this week. Britney Spears' mysterious trip to a Malibu clinic is what should have our focus. Jeez, people . . . get with it! Britney could be ill.
Hey hysterical media chum suckers, if you want to obsess about a gun (or guns) in South Texas, why don't you travel a little further southwest from Corpus Christi to Laredo where U.S. authorities just snatched ready-to-detonate IEDs, materials for making 33 more, military style grenades, 26 grenade triggers, large quantities of AK-47 and AR-15 assault rifles, 1280 rounds of ammo, silencers, machine gun assembly kits, 300 primers, bullet proof vests, police scanners, sniper scopes, narcotics and cash from Mexican dope dealers? Now, Dave, there's an all-beef patty for you and all the other reporters suffering from mad cow disease to sink your teeth into.
Look, Bush and Cheney will be hated and vilified by the spurned and pouty, short-fused, laughable left 'til Jesus comes back to clean house. If the President or Vice President wore white after Labor Day, had white wine with beef, swam without waiting the full 30 minutes after they had eaten lunch or drank milk after the expiration date there would be a Moses-like media hailstorm over these faux pas. And I guarantee that if Cheney had not accidentally shot Mr. Harry Whittington, they still would have made a huge deal out of him purposefully slaying Mr. Bob White and his feathered la familia.

Maryville College teammates and staff feel fire of Rebel-Tornado rivalry
August 24, 2010Maryville High School

As Alcoa-Maryville rivalry week moves toward Thursday's annual contest, even the college practice fields are feeling just a pinch of extra excitement.
A few traces of black and red and touches of maroon and aluminum surface around the Maryville College practice fields adding some fun to the drills and scrimmages of fall football camp.
"There's always a lot of trash talking right before game time, but after the game last year, it was even worse," MC senior running back and Alcoa-product Darrell Tate said.
Standing next to Tate, Maryville High alum and starting middle linebacker for the Scots, Tanner Caylor, playfully rolled his eyes.
"I always get to say I whooped up on him back then, but that's the only thing I got to say last year," Caylor said of Alcoa's 41-24 victory that broke an eight-game Rebel win streak in the series.
"We can say we finally beat them," Tate explained. "But he can always go back to, 'did we ever beat them when we were there.'"
The former Rebel contingent includes Caylor, receiver Zane Winders and starting strong safety Caleb Clement, as well as new running backs coach Ryan Tallent. Besides Tate, Alcoa claims senior offensive lineman Corey Brewer.
"It's always exciting Maryville-Alcoa week, ever since we were little kids," Caylor said. "I'll definitely be there at the game. I've never missed one since I was like 8."
Tallent, who is following a successful football career at Tusculum with his first coaching stint, has seen the rivalry and how it plays out between the close communities that have produced 13 state titles the last 10 seasons.
"Its always real exciting that week for both towns. We get along — except for one week a year," Tallent said.

"Comfortable and characterful"
Second time we have stayed at Briarley and we enjoyed it as much as the first. The AGA is a real plus and hugely useful to get wet cozzies and towels dry for the next day. The cottage garden is particularly delightful early July as the rambling and old-fashioned roses are flowering. Brighstone is well placed for getting around, although nothing is very far from anywhere on the IoW!

The SSD market is littered with competitors, but up to now, few companies behind mechanical storage have entered the arena. Last month though, Western Digital scratched its name off the list, with the help of its SiliconEdge Blue models. We're taking a look at the 256GB variant here, so let's see how it fares against the competition!
For all the variety of solid-state drives on the market, and the continual releases of new drives, one would think there would already be a plethora of controllers to choose from. Unfortunately that is not quite the case, as if you pick just about any one SSD it is likely to be using a JMicron, Toshiba, Intel, Indilinx, or Samsung controller inside.
Even with the ongoing introduction of new Sandforce controllers found in drives like the Vertex 2, Agility 2, or Corsair Force series, and the recent introduction of a highly customized Marvell controller in the Micron/Crucial RealSSD drives, we are up to seven brands of controllers. Seven brands of controllers to range across several hundred makes and models of SSDs currently on the market.
When it comes to the selection of SSDs, one thing should become apparent. For all the dozens upon dozens of brands, rebadges, and controllers available, when it comes to selecting an SSD there haven't been any options available from any of the major drive manufacturers to choose from, with the potential exception of Samsung. Western Digital is changing that with the release of its mainstream SiliconEdge Blue series SSD that is already available in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB capacities.
Western Digital aims to add one more choice to the list by offering its latest refresh to its SSDs with the SiliconEdge series that brings it up to date and performance competitive with some SSDs that have been on the market for awhile now.
What is interesting is that Western Digital is not aiming to deliver the fastest drive nor the best priced SSD. Instead, the company's primary focus with the SiliconEdge has been on compatibility and reliability. This isn't just marketing speak either; Western Digital has put plenty of emphasis on this point. The company has purposefully given dependability a higher priority than performance during the design stage of this drive. So while the SiliconEdge Blue may not be the quickest mainstream SSD, Western Digital tells us it has been designed to be the most reliable.
WD's first consumer SSD is targeted as being a mainstream offering (as mainstream as SSDs themselves are, mind you), however, if the company's nomenclature has taught us anything we might see the possibility of a SiliconEdge "Black" SSD in the future as a performance version of this drive. For its traditional hard disk drives, Black signifies the performance, Blue the mainstream, and Green the power efficient categories. And while a Raptor may not be a color, the name does signify WD's de facto enthusiast 10,000K RPM premium performance hard drive.
MSRP on the SiliconEdge Blue unfortunately lacked any sort of "mainstream" price tag, but we are very thankful to see that the MSRP's quoted to us were more of a loose "guideline" to retailers. Even with the <$100 decrease in prices across the range of capacities, the 128GB SiliconEdge Blue is retailing at $3.215 a GB, which is well above similar drives such as the Toshiba-based Kingston V+ series. In fact it makes this drive a direct competitor against the likes of the solid performing Indilinx Vertex and Intel's X25-M G2 drives. Whether the slight price premium is justified or well-worthwhile we shall leave up to personal preferences.
Prices (Street)
|Western Digital SiliconEdge Blue
Western Digital only offers the SiliconEdge Blue as an OEM drive, which means all a buyer will receive is the drive itself. There will be no 2.5″ to 3.5″ bracket converter, cable, or even instruction booklet. What you do receive is a drive that feels extremely solid and looks the part. The drive housing is brushed aluminum that has been given a smoked, gunmetal grey tinting. The final result does not show well in our photos but we find to look very nice in person.

Love this!!!
posted 6 years ago
I love this think it is super easy to put on my dog...granted I had to read the instructions first, but once I learned how its a cinch! It gives me a ton more control when we go on walks and it doesn't cause my dog any straining! I def. recommend this to anyone who wants a little more control when taking their dog on a walk!
Pros: This really helps give me some more control on walks
Cons: none really

This harness did no good. The pulled just as much as before. The loop to add the leash was halfway down the dogs back making it more difficult to walk beside him rather than behind him.
Pros: doesn't choke
Cons: doesn't work, awkward

As we announced in October, we've been aggressively managing our costs to bring them in line with the challenging economic conditions. Unfortunately, that means laying off employees –- by far the toughest part of being a manager. Here's the email I sent to Yahoos today:
today, most of our layoffs in the US are happening, and they've been underway in other regions around the world. ??
this is a tough time for all of us and i wanted to take a moment to reach out to you.? ?
saying goodbye to colleagues and friends is never easy. they all are dedicated members of our yahoo! family, who worked beside us and shared our passion. ??
but as you all know, we must take actions to better perform in today's turbulent global economy. while we've found efficiencies in many parts of our business, laying off employees is unfortunately unavoidable. our difficult decision to let colleagues go reflects the changes we're having to make to better align costs with revenues – something businesses in virtually every sector are also having to do. ? ?
for those who are affected by these layoffs, i am extremely grateful for your contributions to yahoo!. we realize the impact this will have on you. that's why, consistent with our past practices, we're making every effort to support you with severance packages and other services. ? ?
the reductions we're making are very hard, but they are also very necessary -- as we focus on the long-term health of our business. to those who are leaving us, i extend my heartfelt thanks on behalf of yahoos everywhere — you will be missed.??
thanks,? ?

Jane Says
The Body Shop ran advertisements a few years ago featuring a "plus-size" Barbie-esque doll lounging on a couch above the following words: "There are 3 billion women who don't look like supermodels and only 8 who do."
Simple images like that jump-start new thoughts. Or so says Jessica Devaney, a 21-year-old Palm Beach Atlantic University student. "About a year ago, I saw Jamie Lee Curtis in More magazine," she explains. "She was wearing boy-cut underwear and a sports bra. She had love handles. That image of a 45-year-old woman saying 'This is who I really am' stuck with me for a long time."
That image also led Devaney, along with cofounder Kristin Bryant, to create noplainjane.org, a website devoted to chewing the fat on negative body image. "Just the concept of women saying 'What's up? This is what I look like' is empowering," Devaney says.
But don't expect a bunch of girls in their underwear on noplainjane.org when it launches next month. Well, actually you can, but... uh, let Devaney explain: "Our website will be a venue for girls to do the same thing as Jamie and to stand in acceptance of their body as it is. Along with each picture will be a personal statement by each girl, where they can talk about their concept of body image. It's not going to be overtly sexualized, but I can't deny that women are sexual beings."
Devaney planned to launch noplainjane.org on October 1, but the site still needs to raise at least $800 for startup costs, advertising, and the nonprofit application fee. So the new launch date should be November 1. In the meantime, Devaney wants to recruit as many girls as possible to contribute to the cause. "The response has been surprisingly positive," Devaney remarks. "Actually, a lot of the feedback has come from guys. They're like, 'What about us?' and I have to say, 'Maybe one day... '"

The Story
"The world needs a Julius Caesar, a Napoleon," says General Graff (Harrison Ford). "Julius Caesar was assassinated, Napoleon was defeated," says Andrew Wiggin, aka Ender (Asa Butterfield). "But not before they conquered the known world," Graff says. Ender, with other of the world's smartest children, studies at off-world Battle School where Graff is in charge. One of the children will become Commander of the World Fleet, gathering to defend Earth and defeat the Formics – insect-like aliens who invaded, and nearly conquered, our planet 50 years previously – and who, Graff believes, will return, unless, in a pre-emptive strike, humans destroy them first.
Can Ender complete his training, or will doubts and feelings undercut his success? Does Ender "think" into the Formics' brain? Are the film's moral issues more interesting than its plot? See "Ender's Game" for answers.
The Actors
Asa Butterfield and Harrison Ford are fine as central characters Ender and General Graff – antagonists in a quasi-father/son relationship. "Don't threaten me, boy," says Graff, "I'm not the enemy." "I'm not so sure," says Ender. Viola Davis has not much to do as Major Gwen Anderson. She works beside but does not agree with gruff General Graff's tough-guy methods. "I want to know what Ender is feeling," she says. "When the war is over," Graff replies, "we can debate the morality of using children." It's head versus heart, according to Graff and Davis. Which will Ender choose? Can he have it both ways?
Others in the cast include Ben Kingsley as First Formic War hero, Mazer Rackham, who mentors Ender. Hailee Steinfeld is Petra Arkanian, Ender's soul mate – perhaps. Abigail Breslin plays Valentine, Ender's older sister who, like Major Anderson, is on the heart side of the equation. Moises Arias is Bonzo Madrid, whom Ender challenges for Battle School leadership. Aramis Knight, Suraj Partha and Khylin Rhambo are schoolmates Bean, Alai and Dink.
Other Comments
"Ender's Game" is a sci-fi coming-of-age story, in which Ender, removed from his family – like Harry Potter – excels in studies but has difficulty following rules and dealing with authority. Gavin Hood directed and, with Orson Scott Card, wrote the script based on Card's novel. Production values and special effects are smart, but the film's emphasis is on Ender's inner conflicts between hard-nosed leadership ("Just remember what I do to people who try to hurt me") and empathy with enemies ("I will bear the shame of this genocide forever").
Rated PG-13 for violence, sci-fi action and themes, "Ender" runs 114 minutes. Not for little kids but teens and adults will enjoy its visual pleasures and find issues the film raises interesting to debate on the way home.
Final Words
Where is a leader bred,
In the heart or in the head?
"Ender's Game," sci-fi tale –
If you win, do you fail?

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
A diphthong is anti-onomatopoetic--it does not sound like itself. It is not a staccato sputter akin to Conan O'Brien's Arnold Schwarzenegger imitation, but a smooth glissando from one vowel sound into another.
Rarely have diphthongs been so magisterial as those emanating from the diaphragm of Ustad Rashid Khan last Sunday afternoon at the OEC Auditorium on the University of St. Thomas campus in St. Paul. Through most of the single 90-minute song that was the concert's opening set, the Hindustani vocal master's wordless, stentorian tone rose and fell like a beguiling sine wave, lapping against the trancelike empathy of Sri Jyoti Goho's harmonium, with Pandi Bandopadhyay's tabla as punctuation.
Though Ustad Khan is just 39 years old, his thick thatch of hair is already a brilliant silver, adding further luster to his designation as a guru-in-waiting, having undergone rigorous vocal training beginning at age six with his grand-uncle, a maestro of the ur-Sahaswan Gharana tradition. His arrival in St. Paul was a cultural event, sponsored by the Indian Music Society of Minnesota, yet the august formality of the occasion was charmingly undercut at intermission, as patrons in gorgeous saris patiently queued up for free grocery-store cookies.
The hour-long second set was evenly cleaved by three songs. Khan displayed more of his robust Taans--quicksilver, scatlike passages that raced the tabla in a blurring blizzard of beats. During a trance-inducing moment of relative quiet, a burst of thunder boomed offstage, signaling the end of our 90-degree marathon. God's applause for the guru-in-waiting.

Just a handful of things that you might want to keep an eye out for while walking along the Outdoor Loop Trail this spring at the Museum of Life and Science.
Whenever an "outside" pair of geese fly into the Wetlands, the resident gander takes offensive action towards the intruder. Sometimes a simple flyby suffices to send them on their way. Other times, it may get physical.
Enjoy your walk!

The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, or SETI, has attracted both praise and sharp criticism from the mainstream scientific community over the years. Extraterrestrials: A Philosophical Perspective explores the important philosophical issues that are at play in this discussion. André Kukla closely examines several of the prominent ideas surrounding the possibility of extraterrestrial life such as the vastness of the universe argument, the argument from mediocrity and the one world, one science argument while offering innovative theories of his own. Among other things, Kukla show uses Chomsky's account of language acquisition to explain why humans will never be able to communicate with extraterrestrials. Extraterrestrials offers a close and thorough treatment of extraterrestrial life that will intrigue a wide audience, especially those who are interested in the philosophy of science.
