Photo at left: Prop. 8 demonstrators at the corner of McBean Parkway and Valencia Boulevard, 2008
By Bill Mears, CNN Supreme Court Producer
'A federal judge ruled Wednesday that Proposition 8 — California's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage — is unconstitutional.
Q: What happens next?
A: The losing side is hoping the judge immediately issues a stay to stop the ruling from going into effect until appeals are filed. Supporters of the voter-approved referendum in particular were concerned that if they lost, same-sex marriages could be performed before the judge rules on the stay request, which could take several weeks.
The next step will be for the losing side to file a "merits" appeal with the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco, asking it to essentially decide whether the judge's ruling was proper. Both those for and those against Prop 8 will probably ask this court to fast-track the case, that it be heard on an expedited basis.
Lawyers will argue on the larger legal questions in front of the three judges on the court, and then a written ruling will be issued. The losing side at this stage can ask an "en banc" panel of 11 judges from the court to hear the case.
The appeals court has no deadline in which to decide the constitutional questions, so the waiting game could drag on for many months.
Q: What will be argued?
A: This is a federal appeal over the impact created by a state referendum.
At issue is whether it violates the 14th Amendment's guarantee of "equal protection" and "due process." Such individual protections have often been used in cases of civil rights, such as school desegregation and voting.
Those against Prop 8 will say that marriage is a fundamental state-sanctioned right and that same-sex couples are being discriminated against when laws deny them that right. Prop 8 proponents have said that state legislatures and voters have the right to amend a state constitution on defining marriage and that their wishes must be respected by the federal courts.
Q: How does it get to the Supreme Court?
A: After the 9th Circuit court rules, lawyers have the option of asking the Supreme Court to intervene, likely the next step instead of the larger "en banc" panel.
The nine justices on the Supreme Court, unlike lower courts, have the discretion to deny hearing the case. In fact, only about 1 percent of petitions for certiorari — which this appeal is labeled — are accepted by the court for argument.
If the case is accepted, as would be expected, both sides will file a series of written briefs, oral arguments would be held, and then a written ruling is issued. The high court usually releases its rulings by June of the annual term that begins in October, within a few months at most of hearing a case.
Q: How long will it take to get there, given that this is a landmark case?
A: Depending on how long it takes the appeals court to decide how quickly to hear the case and then to decide the constitutional questions, it could be a year or two before the case reaches the Supreme Court.
Q: How might some justices look at the case?
A: A key question for the court will be how it views — or how it believes the law views — homosexuality.
The issue could come down to whether homosexuality is considered a "status" or "conduct."
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in an unrelated high court ruling in June, offered a clue to how she might decide the question. When talking about laws affecting homosexual rights, Ginsburg said, "Our decisions have declined to distinguish between status and conduct in this context."
What Ginsburg suggests is that homosexuality is a status, something courts have generally given greater legal protection, as an "identifiable class." But placing homosexuality in the "conduct" category would suggest that being gay is, at least in part, a choice and perhaps provide less constitutional protection.
It is a fundamental, landmark question: Do civil rights laws and the broad constitutional protection apply in the same-sex marriage context?
Assuming the high court membership remains the same over the next few years, the vote of Justice Anthony Kennedy will be key. A moderate conservative, he is the "swing" vote on this court, whose views on hot-button cases often are in harmony with more liberal colleagues.
Predicting how the court will ultimately rule is often futile, especially since the court is about to get its fourth new member in the last five years.

OAK BROOK, Ill. Why is it that some people lose weight and body fat when they exercise and eat less and others don't? German researchers say MRI and magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy can provide the answer and help predict who will benefit from lifestyle changes. Results of the study are published online and will appear in the November issue of the journal Radiology.
"You may have two individuals who weigh the same and have the same body mass index (BMI), but have very different levels of internal fat," said lead researcher and physicist Jrgen Machann, Dipl. Phys., from University Hospital Tbingen in Tbingen, Germany. "Abdominal and liver fat are the two most important factors in predicting whether a lifestyle intervention will be successful."
Machann and researchers performed MRI and MR spectroscopy on 243 individuals prior to and nine months after a lifestyle intervention. The intervention called for a weight loss of 5 percent, reducing fat intake to a maximum of 30 percent of total calories (including less than 10 percent in the form of saturated fat) and engaging in moderate physical activity such as walking at least three hours a week.
Each of the participants, which included 144 females (mean age 44.5 years) and 99 males (mean age 47.3), was considered at risk of developing type 2 diabetes as a result of obesity, measured by a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or greater or having an impaired glucose tolerance or a first-degree relative with the disease.
"Common methods, such as body impedance analysis, may determine that a body consists of 25 percent fat, but that does not tell you how the fat is distributed," Machann said. "BMI is a good measure for obesity but not necessarily a predictor for health risk, because not only the amount of fat, but also its distribution are essential. Only by looking inside the body can you establish the amount of visceral (abdominal) and liver fat."

Looking to take an outdoor adventure with your pooch? There are plenty of national parks in the United States that allow your four-legged pal to come along. Those that do typically require your dog be constrained at all times on a leash that's 6-feet or shorter. Many of these parks also have restrictions regarding how much land your pet is allowed to traverse (though there are exceptions for service dogs). Note that such restrictions are meant to protect your furry friend from local wildlife, and visa versa. Click on to see some national parks where you can take on the great outdoors with Fido by your side.
Share this on Facebook?
One of the country's most popular national parks, Yosemite in California allows pets with certain restrictions. You can have your pooch on fully paved bike paths and roads, but they're not permitted in the backcountry, meadows, shuttle buses, public buildings or on beaches. Pets are also forbidden on all hiking trails except for Meadow Loop and Four Mile fire roads in Wawona, on the Carlson Road, and on the Old Big Oak Flat Road between Hodgdon Meadow and Hazel Green Creek.
Most of Yosemite's campgrounds allow pets, except for walk-in campgrounds. Also, a kennel is available at the Yosemite Valley Stable from May through September, but keep in mind that written proof of immunizations is mandatory to board your animal.
Areas where pets are permitted in Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park are trails above the rim, the Mather and Desert View campgrounds, and the Trailer Village. Pets are not allowed in the inner canyon (aka "below the rim"), but those with a service animal can bring their pet along to the inner canyon after first checking in at the Backcountry Information Center.
Pets are also not allowed in park lodging. Dogs and cats must be boarded at the park's kennel, and proof of vaccination is mandatory.
At Olympic National Park in Washington, your dog has permission to enjoy all Kalaloch Beaches (from Ruby Beach south to South Beach) and Rialto Beach (0.8 mile north to Ellen Creek). Pets can also take a hike on the Spruce Railroad Trail and Peabody Creek Trail. Other than those locations, Fido is prohibited from other trails, beaches, all rivers and the park's designated wilderness areas.
The great Smokey Mountain National Park straddles the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. Dogs are permitted in campgrounds, picnic areas and along roads. They are also allowed on two walking paths — the Gatlinburg Trail and the Oconaluftee River Trail. Pets are not permitted on any other hiking trails, nor in the park's backcountry.
Located in Maine, Acadia National Park has 100 miles of hiking trails and 45 miles of carriage roads that permit pets. Dogs are also welcome at the Blackwoods and Seawall campgrounds. While there are park trails that are either closed to or not recommended for pets, your furry pal is allowed for day hikes on Isle au Haut. Note that no dogs are allowed at the park's swimming beaches.
One of only a handful of national parks in the U.S. that allows pets on trails, Shenandoah National Park in Virginia has nearly 500 miles worth of trails where Fido can roam by your side. There are only about 20 miles of trails that are restricted to pets. Pets are allowed at the park's campgrounds, and there is also pet-friendly lodging available.
If you plan on taking your pet to the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado, beware the hot sand that can be painful to your furry pal's feet. If visiting the park in the summer, be sure to take your pup on walks either in the early morning or evening, and avoid time when the afternoon sun sends ground temps soaring. Pets are allowed in the most commonly used areas of the park, as well as the preserve. Always be on the lookout for cactus spines when walking your pet in the park.
Not only are dogs welcome in all parts of the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park's 24,000 acres — which reaches parts of Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia — but there are also designated areas for horses. A bonus to visiting this park is the opportunity to see signs of early pioneer life, like old iron furnaces and even Civil War canons.
The Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas allows dogs on its 26 miles of trails, as well as its campgrounds. The only restrictions on pets pertain to the visitor center and other park buildings.
Next: Keeping Dogs Cool During the Summer
Located in Ohio, Cuyahoga Valley National Park allows almost free range for our four-legged friends. Pets are granted access to all park lands. They are, however, restricted from entering the park's buildings and train.

Frustratingly, the game's on-rails sequences exacerbate its lack of invention, whipping up enemies that often inflict damage before their location is revealed. When a single rocket can end the game by killing you or your entourage, this tests the patience more than a prosaic shooter has the right to. [Aug 2005, p.97]
If that's not enough carnage, you can also engage in 32-player (50 on Xbox Live) online deathmatch missions, which is technically twice the bloody chaos of "Halo 2."

I think you need to upload another image with the reference of the insect your design is based on.
Would be a shame if your creepy bug wouldn't go into the poll, because it's awesome.

The thought
that drivers are not pushing to the limit in a sport that is meant to be the ultimate test of man and machine has led to some disquiet. ...
Some hark back to the 'tyre-war' era of the late 1990s and early 2000s as an example of drivers being able to push to the limit throughout, but those who were there say that isn't the case either.
Raikkonen said: "If you take six or 10 years ago still you could not always push 100%. It's normal. These tyres are very good in qualifying with grip and in some places you have to look after them a little bit more than others, but it's not any different from last year so I don't really understand why people are complaining so much."

On the eve of the race, Mark Webber - one of the most outspoken critics of the current F1 - said: "It'll look good in the first five laps with everyone fighting but it's a little bit WWF at the moment." He meant wrestling, rather than wildlife.
Red Bull, though, have a vested interest. They believe they have a superior car that is being held back by the tyres.

There are only a handful of all-weather inlets along the Atlantic coast, so you need to be as careful about planning your trip as you are about selecting sails. You can still get caught with high winds on the inside route on the larger sounds in NC and the Chesapeake (if you go that way, via the C&D Canal and down Delaware Bay to the Cape May Canal), but you will have more options to seek safe harbor.
If you intend to go offshore for extended periods, you'll need to do more than select sails. You will need to consider inflatable PFDs with harness, jack lines, an EPIRB (which you can rent from BoatUS) and a life raft. There are also a lot of things you need to secure below and you also need to assure that you keep sea water out of your fuel and water tank vents.
Your best bet is to wait out questionable weather and not try to stick to a predetermined schedule. There's a lot to see and appreciate along the way, so it won't be lost time if you plan accordingly.
That said, I brought my own boat up from the west coast of Florida to Connecticut and practiced what I just preached. The worst weather we encountered was unexpected winds in the 38 kt range in the Chesapeake. We were able to duck into a harbor of refuge within a couple of hours.
Based on your original question, it sounds like you might want to recruit a crew member or two with appropriate experience if you go offshore.

Matt Collette is a fellow for The Teacher Project, an education reporting initiative at Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism dedicated to covering the issues facing America's teachers.
Former mayor Michael Bloomberg was the nation's fourth most generous philanthropist last year, donating $452 million.
That's according to a list of the top 50 donors released today by The Chronicle of Philanthropy.
While most philanthropists gave big sums to one or two groups, Bloomberg gave to a large number of arts, education, environmental, and public health nonprofits.
The report's lead author, Marie Di Mento, expects Bloomberg to continue that style of giving, particularly now that he's out of office.
"You can never be sure where he will take his philanthropy," Di Mento said, "but, I think, rest assured, it will always be interesting."
Of the $7.7 billion in philanthropic gifts given by the top 50 donors, $6.2 billion comes from living donors. Di Mento said that's the highest the total has been since 2007 before the recession began and is also a sign that donations will continue into the future.
"Giving at this level has definitely made a comeback," Di Mento said. "That's very, very good news for nonprofits."
The 12 New York donors on the list gave away nearly $1.6 billion last year. That places the state second to California where 15 philanthropists gave a combined $2.8 billion.
Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, topped the list: They gave $1 billion in Facebook stock to a Silicon Valley nonprofit.

So we get a sauna scene out of Stephan and Kotetsu sweating in there. Luckily their in boxer shorts. Nice Olympics reference too!!! The gym leader flashbacks were nice but it'd be better if Chili or Cress showed up in the league. What happened to them?
It does seem very similar to the Don battle tournaments oddly so far.
Every tournament in BW has been the same thing so far, being all one on one tournaments that focus more on the character development of side characters, along with them being overpowered over the main characters. I mean, the gym battles have all been done properly and were usually 3 on 3, why can't the tournaments be 6 on 6.
I think they're just refusing to show the rest of Trips team, as they think "Serperior's the best Pokemon ever" apparently, and it's the only Pokemon Trip ever owns, or more rather, it's the only one of his Pokemon we ever see, I mean, are they THAT lazy to come up with the teams for the rivals, I mean really, here are everyones teams:
Trip: Serperior
Stephan: Sawk, Zebstrika, Liepard
Bianca: Pignite, Minccino, Shelmet
Georgia: Bisharp, Beartic
Kotetsu: Riolu, Samurott, Ferrothorn, Hydreigon
Virgil: Eevee and it's evolutions
Burgundy: Pretty much non-existent at this point
It's like they don't even want to bother giving them full teams of six, and have made it so that their signature Pokemon is their ONLY Pokemon, and with that, make that Pokemon as overpowered as possible, it's like they're not even trying anymore with their teams. It's like "*insert Pokemon here* is *insert rival here*'s strongest Pokemon, let's make it their ONLY Pokemon!"
The only ones that even have what is close to legitimate teams are Kotetsu and Virgil, and even then, the latter is nothing but the same evolution line, while Kotetsu, even with only four of his Pokemon known, is the only rival who has most of his team known.

The thing is, Trip does have a full set of 6, a very good variety of different types, as well as a lot of Pokemon rivalries - yet he's the only one who gets a 1 on 1 battle.
They're getting the "dud" rival out of the way quickly to focus on the more interesting characters. Just be glad the writers have acknowledged which characters are received well and which aren't, it dates back to the days of Johto when Takeshi Shudo was unhappy with the tedious direction of the series back then.
All we really need to see is Pikachu get its revenge on Serperior for both its two prior losses, and Trip's Serperior dominating the Junior Cup, and then the whole Trip rivalry can be shelved. I also guarantee Trip will immediately leave after he loses rather than sticking around to watch the rest of the tournament.
The thing about 1 v 1's is the don't really show how good a trainer really is, just how good there pokemon of choice is for that battle. I don't like Trip at all, but its a poor way to end the rivalry. Beating one of his pokemon doesn't prove at all that Ash is better than him
Serperior vs. Pikachu. The thing that bugs me the most is that Ash ALWAYS gets a 6 on 6 with his main league rival, but here....a 1 on 1 against a rival who was poorly written
"You think you can kidnap Jinora and all these baby bisons!? >:U"
pikachu's iron tail has never caused any opponent to be paralysed before. furthermore, it takes a huge number of hits on pikachu to get the static to kick in. so the writers are like super unrealistic on move side effects and abilities. if i remember, pignite only managed to burn the enemy once in all its battles using fire type moves, unfair much
torkoal was a bad one, swellow too. if he has chosen glalie, charizard or snorlax, he could have pulled off 1 more win at least imo
entei, articuno, registeel and.... Mesprit? haha
heracross should be able to take down any darkrai... tis was the same heracross who beat gary mother******* oak 's magmar 2 series ago!
oh and back to UNOVA LEAGUE, ash vs trip 1 on 1 doesnt surprise me, but using sceptile vs seperior would have been soooo much cooler! my guess from the next ep preview's pikachu's sneaky smile,
ash and pikachu actually have a REAL STRATEGY this time, so im looking forward to that. we all know ash will inevitably win. but im quite happy trip loses so early, he deserves it. but im not happy cause trip deserves a thorough beating from ash like how alder beat him an pikachu wasn't the best pokemon of ash to deliver that. imaginve charizard, now that would satisfy me to my heart's content

Trip's Serperior looked taller than previous.
Nice way to start off the league and please stop the lame jokes with Kotetsu.. He has been given a good team of pokes but has been considered as joker of Pokemon.. it sometimes tickles n some frustrate.. Ash vs Trip in round of 128(1vs1) seems weird ,, also other rivals have strong team compared to trip which may help in eliminating nd advancing Ash..
Prof Oak, Delia Ketchum nd also Moltres flame missing from previous seasons..
Wow, what a great episode, and a really fun way to start of the League. Seeing Satoshi and his friends and rivals bond together is always nice.
As for the battles, they were spectacular. I know they were all short, but they were really intense, and said a lot. You could tell just how confident and strategic Bel has become since we last saw her, and Kotetsu and Virgil had pretty interesting, even matches where they didn't just steamroll through everything. I only wish we could see the full matches.
Also, Pikachu had fat arms during its battle with Jalorda.

You know what? This was a really decent first league episode.
The battles were quickly showcased, yes but I didn't mind this time because it felt...well...good.
The first part of Pikachu VS. Serperior was also nicely done.
And...Stephan's name gag is over? Yay.
And...Bianca isn't hyperactive for once...good lord.
I'm guessing the writers got sick of Cabernet and Langley, since neither of them have showed up. Cabernet was shown to be collecting badges, and Langley had a Pokedex so I had imagined they'd both be turning up...
...then again, Cabernet was about as failed a rival as you could get. She didn't get one win under her belt throughout the show, and eventually just became comic relief to be blasted off.
As for Langley... meh, guess since Iris defeated her the writers decided she'd run her course. Pity, at first I thought she was pretty interesting.

The Pluto Files: The Rise and Fall of America's Favorite Planet
by Neil deGrasse Tyson
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Pluto's fall from grace, from it's discovery in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, to it's demotion to dwarf planet status as a resident of the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune, from the perspective of Neil deGrasse Tyson, in his role as the director of the Hayden Planetarium, Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History (NYC).
A very good read (or listen, as this is an audiobook).
It started out strong, but then - perhaps in the tradition of scientific papers - he smashed so many resources into it that it just became a collection of newspaper clippings and emails. It was a pretty decent read, but not likely one I'll read again. I was kind of hoping for more space, and less NYT.
This book has a bunch of interesting things to say about humanity's changing understanding of the cosmos and how Pluto fits into that understanding. It even has a bunch of interesting characters like William Herschel, the discoverer of Uranus, and Jane Luu, one of the co-discoverers of the first designated Kuiper Belt object. However, it also has a bunch of really dumb jokes (a technique used by many popular science writers to make their work seem more accessible), and it takes too much time describing the public reaction. One gets the impression that Tyson thinks awfully well of himself, and so any incident in which he was involved surely merits the most detailed description. The furor over Pluto's loss of planethood isn't all that amusing; it's just another instance in which ignorant human beings pick sides because they think sentimentality is appealing and intellectual effort is pointless.
Very short book about Pluto and Tyson's role in its deplanetization. The writing can be cute, but it's pretty light going. Tyson argues against putting much weight on the label "planet": he doesn't think that it does kids nearly as much good to learn a mnemonic for the planets as it does for them to learn that there are small rocky bodies (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars), big gaseous ones (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), and various other objects (including Pluto) in the solar system.
The Pluto Files chronicles the history of Pluto, from its' discovery in 1930 to the more recent debate about its' classification as a planet. Tyson takes a mostly unbiased approach to this debate, with lots of quotes from other scientists giving an overview of the issue. The book also includes lots funny cartoons about Pluto, which were by far my favorite part of the book!

The New York Times best-selling author chronicles America's love affair with Pluto, man's best (celestial) friend.In August 2006, the International Astronomical Union voted Pluto out of planethood. Far from the sun, wonder Pluto has any fans. Yet during the mounting debate over rallied behind the extraterrestrial underdog. Disney created an irresistible pup by the same name, and, as one NASA scientist put it, Pluto was "discovered by an American for America." Pluto is entrenched in our cultural, patriotic view of the cosmos, and Neil deGrasse Tyson is on a quest to discover why.
Only Tyson can tell this story: he was involved in the first exhibits to demote Pluto, and, consequently, Pluto lovers have freely shared their opinions with him, including endless hate mail from third graders. In his typically witty way, Tyson explores the history of planet recently been judged a dwarf. 35 color, 10 black-and-white

Five-time NBA title holder Kobe Bryant would miss rest of the games in 2013-2014 season due to a left knee injury, the Los Angeles Lakers announced.
Bryant was injured Dec 17 last year during the Lakers' 96-92 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. He was expected to miss six weeks, but after a re-examination Feb 21 his doctor found Bryant would need three more weeks.
The 18-year veteran had another re-examination Monday, only to find his left knee still hadn't been fully healed, reported Xinhua.
"Obviously this has been a frustrating and disappointing season, but I appreciate all the support I've received from the Lakers and the fans, and look forward to being back and ready for the start of training camp," said Bryant.
Bryant had been kept away from the court for as many as 240 days last year because of his left ankle injury, and he missed the first 19 games at the beginning of the 2013-2014 season.

The evidence for more recent gene flow between Neanderthals and humans came from an analysis showing that Neanderthals are more closely related to some present-day humans than to others. The researchers looked at places where the DNA sequence is known to vary among individuals by a single "letter." Comparing different individuals with Neanderthals, they asked how frequently the Neanderthal sequence matches that of different humans.
The frequency of Neanderthal matches would be the same for all human populations if gene flow between Neanderthals and humans stopped before human populations began to develop genetic differences. But that's not what the study found. Looking at a diverse set of modern humans--including individuals from Southern Africa, West Africa, Papua New Guinea, China, and Western Europe--the researchers found that the frequency of Neanderthal matches is higher for non-Africans than for Africans.
According to Green, even a very small number of instances of interbreeding could account for these results. The researchers estimated that the gene flow from Neanderthals to humans occurred between 50,000 and 80,000 years ago. The best explanation is that the admixture occurred when early humans left Africa and encountered Neanderthals for the first time.
"How these peoples would have interacted culturally is not something we can speculate on in any meaningful way. But knowing there was gene flow is important, and it is fascinating to think about how that may have happened," Green said.
The researchers were not able to rule out one possible alternative explanation for their findings. In that scenario, the signal they detected could represent an ancient genetic substructure that existed within Africa, such that the ancestral population of present-day non-Africans was more closely related to Neanderthals than was the ancestral population of present-day Africans. "We think that's not the case, but we can't ru

Latino and Native American activism
In September 1965 Cesar Chavez, who had founded the National Farm Workers Association (later the United Farm Workers of America) in 1962, began leading what became a five-year strike by California grape pickers and a nationwide boycott of California grapes that attracted liberal support from throughout the country. Many of those farmworkers were, like Chavez, Latino, and the 1960s—particularly during the strike and boycott—arguably marked the first time the Latino population in the United States drew sustained attention. People of Hispanic origin had lived in the United States since the country's origin, and their presence increased after huge portions of Mexico became part of the United States in the wake of the Mexican-American War (1846–48) and following the acquisition of Puerto Rico in the Spanish-American War (1898). Large-scale Hispanic immigration to the United States began in the 20th century as Mexicans sought economic opportunity or to escape the Mexican Revolution (1910–20).
In 1954, in Hernandez v. Texas, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the conviction of an agricultural labourer, Pete Hernandez, for murder should be overturned because Mexican Americans had been barred from participating in both the jury that indicted him and the jury that convicted him. In this landmark ruling, the court recognized that the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law extended to Mexican Americans. The Chicano (Mexican American) civil rights movement of the 1960s encompassed not only the Chavez-led efforts of agricultural workers in California but also the land grant movement in New Mexico spearheaded by Reies Lopez Tijerina as well as the struggle for equal education in Los Angeles. Yet it would not be until the 1980s that Latinos—such as Henry Cisneros, who was elected mayor of San Antonio, Texas, in 1981—began to hold prominent political office in the United States. By that point Hispanic servicemen had already racked up scores of medals in World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. And by 2010 the 50 million Latinos living in all 50 states constituted 16 percent of the U.S. population.
Activism on behalf of Native Americans also grew substantially during the 1960s. In 1968 the American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded by Russell Means and others to help Native Americans in urban ghettos who had been displaced by government programs that had the effect of forcing them from their reservations. AIM's goals eventually encompassed the entire spectrum of Indian demands—economic independence, revitalization of traditional culture, protection of legal rights, and, most especially, autonomy over tribal areas and the restoration of lands that they believed had been illegally seized. AIM was involved in many highly publicized protests. It was one of the American Indian groups involved in the occupation (1969–71) of Alcatraz Island, the march (1972) on Washington, D.C., to protest violations of treaties (in which AIM members occupied the office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs), and the takeover (1973) of a site at Wounded Knee to protest the government's Indian policy.
Social changes
The 1960s were marked by the greatest changes in morals and manners since the 1920s. Young people, college students in particular, rebelled against what they viewed as the repressed conformist society of their parents. They advocated a sexual revolution, aided by the birth control pill and later by Roe v. Wade (1973), a Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion. "Recreational" drugs such as marijuana and LSD were increasingly used. Opposition to U.S. involvement in Vietnam promoted the rise of a New Left, which was anticapitalist as well as antiwar. The political activists of the New Left drew on the theories of political philosopher Herbert Marcuse, sociologist C. Wright Mills, and psychoanalyst and social philosopher Erich Fromm, among others. A "counterculture" sprang up that legitimized radical standards of taste and behaviour in the arts as well as in life. Feminism was reborn and joined the ranks of radical causes.
Except for feminism, most organized expressions of the counterculture and the New Left, including the influential Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), did not long survive the sixties. Nevertheless, they changed American life. Recreational drug taking, previously confined largely to impoverished inner cities, became part of middle-class life. The sexual revolution reduced government censorship, changed attitudes toward traditional sexual roles, and enabled homosexuals to organize and acknowledge their identities as never before. Although there had been earlier protests by gay groups, the Stonewall riots—a series of violent confrontations between police and gay rights activists outside the Stonewall Inn, a bar in New York City, in the summer of 1969—was perhaps the first time lesbians, gays, and transvestites saw the value in uniting behind a common cause. Unrestrained individualism played havoc with family values. People began marrying later and having fewer children. The divorce rate accelerated to the point that the number of divorces per year was roughly half the number of marriages. The number of abortions rose, as did the illegitimacy rate. By the 1980s one in six families was headed by a single woman, and over half of all people living in poverty, including some 12 million children, belonged to such families. Because inflation and recession made it hard to support even intact families on a single income, a majority of mothers entered the workforce. Thus, the stable family-oriented society of the 1950s became a thing of the past.

In Aztec mythology, Tonacatecuhtli ("lord of our sustenance") was a fertility god, who was worshipped for being the power (tecuhtli) that warmed the earth and made it fruitful.[1] He organized the world into land and ocean at the creation of the world. Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl were the creators of the life, but he created them and the planet. He turned Chantico into a dog for violating a fast and eating paprika with roasted fish.[citation needed] His wife was Tonacacihuatl.

MINERAL WELLS -- Sgt. Major Hayward Bellah spent 30 years in the Army. He did 18 months in Vietnam.
He fought for this country, and he's not happy with its condition.
'You know, I never saw 'Republican' or 'Democrat' in a foxhole, and I've been in a lot of foxholes,' he said. 'They were all working to keep each other alive.'
He's irritated that the week-and-a-half old shutdown has trickled down to veterans.
'It literally makes me sick to my stomach when I see veterans that aren't getting the benefits they deserve,' he said. 'There are people suffering out there, families suffering, because they're not getting the benefits that they were supposed to get.'
Seven thousand workers with the Veterans Administration were furloughed this week. Benefit offices were shut down, including two in Texas.
The 'Million Vet March on the Memorials' grew out of frustration. It is planned for Sunday at the World War II Memorial. But because not everyone can travel, smaller, local rallies are planned, too.
Bellah is on the board of the National Vietnam War Museum in Mineral Wells, and that's where he will be Sunday at 8 a.m. The museum grounds are at 12685 US 180 in Mineral Wells.
He knows it's a small town, but he hopes it sends a loud message.
'We just want to be in harmony with our brothers and sisters in DC,' he said.
'Hopefully the people in Washington will get the idea that we aren't invisible. We aren't invisible. They haven't put us away yet,' he said. 'Please, take care of our veterans. Please.'

Small Texas town hoping to send loud message to Washington
Across the state and nation, veterans plan to rally Sunday morning. It will coincide with a march in Washington to raise awareness about the shutdown's impact on vets.

22.11.06 - British and Commonwealth super middleweight champion Carl Froch - who meets long-term rival Tony Dodson in a real grudge match on Friday 24th November live on Sky Sports - has issued a call to arms to the people of Nottingham. I want the people of Nottingham to march with me to the world title. I want them there every step of the way as I do what nobody else from Nottingham has ever done before win a genuine world championship, said Froch., who also made history as an amateur by becoming the first ever British fighter to win a world senior amateur championships medal.
Being the first from Nottingham to win a big world title would be a major achievement when you consider the talent from the area in the past; guys like David Needham, Wally Swift, Kirkland Laing and Herol Graham, (Newark).
Im happy to go wherever I have to in order to do that. I will go and beat the top fighters in their own backyards, but I would rather do it at a sold out Nottingham Arena.
The Cobra is confident that, given the team behind him, his destiny will be played out in front of a home crowd.
My promoter Mick Hennessy has the ability to bring the best fighters in the world to the Nottingham Arena, he added. Everyone has always got behind me. With an extra push I think something really big can happen. Im sure we could get WBC champion Mikkel Kessler to the Arena.
The 29-year-old deserves support. In his 19 fights to date he has won and defended both the British and Commonwealth titles, winning a total of 7 championship fights in outstanding fashion. Last time out he became the first to ever to stop world-class contender Brian Magee, flooring him twice in the process with heavy right uppercuts.
His performances have earned him a number 3 ranking with the WBC; the most respected governing body in the sport.
My ranking shows to everyone that I am one of the best in the world now, he added. Hopefully that will encourage even more people to turn out and support me. If I was ranked number thee in tennis or Formula 1, everyone would be going mad. Im in the hardest sport going.
Froch does boast a significant profile for a boxer. He has headlined on Sky on several occasions and is one of the countrys biggest ticket sellers. The fight against Dodson will be the best attended yet.
There is a lot of interest in this fight around Nottingham, he said. I think its because theres a bit of history there. Dodson has pulled out on me three times now.
Victory for Froch will see him win the Lonsdale belt Outright. The two-times former senior ABA champion can see no other outcome.
This fight has come all wrong for Dodson, Froch, trained by Robert McCracken, continued. His best chance was 18-months ago when he was British champion and was meant to defend against me - even then he would have stood no chance.
Now he is coming up against a fighter who has won British and Commonwealth titles and is ranked number three by the WBC. He is coming up against one of the best fighters in the world.
He is telling anyone who will listen that he is going to win, that he is going to knock me out. But I promise the people of Nottingham that he is the one who is getting taken out and in style.
The Hennessy Sports Outright promotion, headlined by Carl Froch vs. Tony Dodson, takes place at the Nottingham Arena on Friday November 24th. Tickets priced £25-£80 are available on 0870 121 0123. For a full bill and more information please visit www.HennessySports.com.

Community Organizing and School Reform
Wednesday, December 14, 2011
Mark Warren argues that community organizing is key to address the persistent failure of public schooling in low-income communities. A Match on Dry Grass: Community Organizing as a Catalyst for School Reform, written with Karen L. Mapp, is based on a comprehensive national study, the book presents rich and compelling case studies of prominent organizing efforts in Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, Denver, San Jose, and the Mississippi Delta. He's joined by Desiree Pilgrim Hunter, board president and leader of the Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition, one of the organizations profiled in the book.

Comments [2]
I've observed a long time ago as a young adult that it would be challenging to say the least to attempt to bring in a child into the world in the US maybe more so compared to France or other Western European Countries if one was from a low income background. I opted for one knowing that anymore it would be more of a struggle w. I suppose one would call a middle class income. One works to live in the right community that has a good school outside of NY & commutes a great distance to provide a quality of life. It's a shame what's happening, in essence we are becoming a two classed society. It's also equally alarming that our government values spending money on war and not on school (not our current President- yet he inherited a massive mess.) It's a Brave New World. Carry on, spread the word and good luck w. your cause.
Arne Duncan did not say that parent's role is just to "feed, clothe, shelter and help children with their homework". He has repeatedly urged (e.g. 4/12/11), parents to engage at every level, including where school, district, state and federal decisions are being made. He called upon parents to be part of the solution, and to offer suggestions on how we can work together to close achievement gaps and improve student learning. Duncan urged parents to advocate for and demand excellence from schools.
