Best Drug Rehabilitation, which offers treatment programs and believes that having family close by during a stay in rehab can make a big difference in whether or not the process is successful, is asking "what is prescription addiction?" in its latest video.
The video, which is available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpdCrFDwQ1I, highlights some chilling prescription abuse statistics across the US, including:
"Despite these staggering numbers, the good news it that there may be just one call that has to be made to save a life – and that is to an accredited treatment facility that offers inpatient care and ongoing support during and well beyond recovery," commented Best Drug Rehabilitation's CEO Per Wickstrom.
Additional Best Drug Rehabilitation videos are available on their YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/BestDrugRehabVideos/videos.

Birmingham created a piece of club history but Cameron Jerome's failings in front of goal meant they had to settle for a goalless draw against Wigan at St Andrew's.
And an afternoon of frustration for Blues was compounded when top scorer Craig Gardner was given a straight red card for a lunge at Franco Di Santo in the last minute.
Alex McLeish's side equalled their best top-flight unbeaten home run of 18 games stretching back exactly 12 months. But Jerome missed two golden first-half chances to earn his side all three points.

SL Pet FoodAugust 4th, 2011 by Crusader
It's not strictly speaking a game, and it's been a while since we've even mentioned it, but this story about goings-on in Second Life is so strange I have to point it out (and it reminds me of Ted Chiang's The Lifecycle of Software Objects, so bonus!):
Meeroos, SL's extremely popular species of virtual, breedable animals created by Malevay Studios, are currently starving. Yesterday, reports Malevay's Catherine Farspire, unidentified griefers using variations of the avatar name "Meeroos Resident" (the company's official account) were found selling unauthorized Meeroos food in the region of Twas. (The miscreants, says Ms. Farspire, "built their own [store] in the sky selling fraudulent food".)
Does anyone reading play/venture into Second Life? What's it like these days?

RoboCop (2014)
Plot Summary
In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years - and it's meant billions for OmniCorp's bottom line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) - a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit - is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice.- Written by Sony Pictures Entertainment
When Detroit cop Alex Murphy is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp, a multi-national conglomerate at the center of robotic technology ceases the opportunity to not only save Alex's life by turning him into a half-robot, half-man crime fighter. Overseas, OmniCorp's drones and other robotic technology have been utilized by the military for years, but in the USA, they have been prohibited from using them. Obviously wanting to grow profits for their shareholders, the company envisions a RoboCop in every city therefore generating billions. Unfortunately, OmniCorp has not considered the fact that there is still a real -life human being within all this robotic technology. As he returns to the crime ridden and corrupt streets of Detroit, Alex Murphy begins to face many human issues a regular cop and normal officers has never had to face.- Written by DeAlan Wilson www.ComedyE.com
OmniCorp is a corporation that creats robots for military use overseas. The CEO of the company wants to use the robots domestically, specifically for law enforcement. But the politicians refuse to allow them to, because they want a law enforcement officer who knows what it is to be human and who can feel. So the CEO thinks that they should create something that's part man part machine. All they need is someone. Alex Murphy is a cop who tries to do things by the book. And he is trying to get an elusive criminal. He even suspects that someone in the department is helping the criminal so he doesn't tell anyone what he is doing. One day Murphy goes to his car and it blows up. Later his wife is asked by the doctor who will be doing the procedure for Omnicorp, permission to operate on Alex. When he does it and Murphy wakes up and he can't believe what he is.- Written by firstname.lastname@example.com
In 2028, in Detroit, the OmniCorp has developed technology in the area of robotics and their drones have been used by different countries in military application. However the corporation does not succeed in using them to enforce the law in the United States due to the Dreyfus Act. When the detective and family man Alex Murphy is lethally injured in an attempt with a bomb in his car, OmniCorp CEO Raymond Sellars convinces the scientist Dr. Dennett Norton and Murphy's wife to use his remaining parts in a robot with the intention of swindling the law and make a fortune with the drones. However the cyborg RoboCop is indeed seeking justice and will not stop until he finds those that destroyed his and his family's lives.- Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
In 2028 Detroit, when Alex Murphy - a loving husband, father and good cop - is critically injured in the line of duty, the multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer.- Written by Sony Pictures Entertainment

Against Breast Cancer
The Against Breast Cancer Research Unit is led by Dr Miriam Dwek.
The research is concerned with the spread of breast cancer to secondary organs, a process known as "metastasis".
Understanding key factors in the progression of breast cancer has the potential to revolutionise cancer patient care and treatment.
Our projects fall into three main areas:
We house and curate one of the largest breast cancer specimen collections in the UK. Patient tissue, serum, urine and DNA samples are accompanied by considerable clinical and patient follow up information. This unique resource allows us to undertake studies to correlate diet, lifestyle, treatment and other factors with breast cancer progression.
The Against Breast Cancer Unit undertakes projects in three interlinked areas.

Flying Point Residence by Stelle Architects
By Freshome.com - Interior Design & Architecture Magazine on Feb 23, 2012
Flying Point Residence is a project envisioned and implemented by studio Stelle Architects. The two-story building is located in Southampton, New York, USA, and is a remodel of an old home the owner wished to recondition. Many materials found by the architects within the initial residence were recycled. Here is more from the official description. "House and garden design become a bridge between two different bodies of water: gentle Mecox Bay to the north and wild Atlantic Ocean to the south. An existing house was radically transformed as opposed to being demolished. Substantial effort was undertaken in order to reuse, rethink and modify existing conditions and materials. The plans were reworked to create smaller, staggered volumes, which are visually disconnected. Deep overhangs were added to strengthen the indoor/outdoor relationship and new bay to ocean views through the structure result in house as breezeway and bridge." We appreciate the efforts behind this home conversion and are curious to see your reactions as well.

Fret-King Black Label Super-Hybrid
A piezo/ humbucker/ single-coil tone transformer
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, gawping bystanders, it's a super-guitar, sent to earth to prove that one instrument can, in fact, do it all. For the Fret King Black Label Super-Hybrid is no less than an attempt to combine single-coil sweetness, humbucker crunch and piezo gloss in one guitar.
The Fret-King batwing-style headstock, with Wilkinson-designed machineheads, leads us onto an impeccably finished and supremely comfortable Canadian hard-maple neck, topped with rosewood and 24 medium jumbo frets.
"A brief inspection reveals Wilkinson fingerprints all over the place, from a sunken jack-plug to the gentle wave along the top of the scratchplate"
The two-piece American alder body sits somewhere between a classic Fender Strat and a more modern shred machine. A brief inspection fore and aft reveals Wilkinson fingerprints all over the place, from a sunken jack-plug to the gentle wave along the top of the scratchplate. An unplugged strum reveals the Super-Hybrid to be responsive and resonant.
The fun really starts when things get loud. You might need a couple of minutes' acclimatisation to get to grips with the Super-Hybrid's all-in-one proposition, but when you do, you'll find plenty of tonal options.
The HSH layout, alongside a dual-purpose push-push volume control, gives you two things: a humbucker-loaded rock screamer ready to tear the face off a bearded hipster, and a bonus set of sparkling single-coil tones. It's a pleasant enough partnership played clean, but it jumps into life with a little crunch, sounding sublime through anything valve-y.
"The Wilkinson-designed pickups are perfectly suited to big, bold rock leads, cultured bluesy runs and beefy rhythm-based riffery"
The Wilkinson-designed pickups are perfectly suited to big, bold rock leads, cultured bluesy runs and beefy rhythm-based riffery. But remember, this is a hybrid. The Acoustibridge, another of Trev's creations, is a piezo-loaded bridge designed to give you a whole other bag of tricks to dip into.
Controlled via that push-push volume pot and three rear-mounted micro-controls, the piezo gives a pretty good account of itself, sounding what we'll dub 'acoust-ish'. Does it sound like a lovely unplugged Martin? No, of course not, but it certainly has some strum-along sparkle, and you can blend the piezo with the pickups for even more playing possibilities.
It might not have the digital bells and whistles of some of its competitors - the Line 6 JTV springs immediately to mind - but that doesn't detract from Fret-King's achievement of essentially cramming three guitars into one. The Super-Hybrid has much more going for it than appearances might initially suggest, making it an undercover hero well worth investigating further.
MusicRadar Rating
Impeccable finish. Tonal versatility.
Best suited to players that will make the most of its flexibility.
It appears simple, but the Super-Hybrid is a highly flexible guitar, designed with players in mind and put together with panache.

Not Your Traditional Thanksgiving Menu
1 comment | Leave Comment
Don't want to find endless ways to use up turkey leftovers? Don't want to baby-sit a whole turkey?
Try a crispy-savory schnitzel. I love quick-easy to make schnitzels. I often make them out of the usual chicken and veal. Then, I got crazy one day and made duck schnitzel and it was a hit. See my first cookbook JEWISH COOKING FOR ALL SEASONS (John Wiley and Sons). So, why not turkey? Fast, easy crunchy and no troubling leftovers. I love it!
Can't eat turkey without gravy? Me neither! Don't let the absence of a whole bird stop you. Whisk this quick pan sauce together and no one will be the wiser.
Try this beautiful martini as your own signature cocktail for your holiday gathering. Full of antioxidants-it is practically good for you. L'Chaim!
This delicious low fat pumpkin sponge cake is loaded with vitamins and fall flavors. Bake it into cupcakes and frost with your favorite frosting or bake the cake into layers and serve as a festive fall cake with poached pears. My favorite way is to serve it with Pumpkin Bavarian Cream.

It happened many years ago in my role as an editor at the international scientific journal, Nature, but the experience was so traumatic that I remember it as if it were yesterday. An outraged, elderly professor pinned me against a wall and harangued me for having rejected his paper on why human beings got up on their hind legs and walked. Human beings became bipeds, yelled the prof, to free their hands so that mothers could cuddle infants close to their chests. How could I have had the temerity, screamed the empurpled sage, to have rejected a paper that made so much sense?.

Harare City has received 12 of the 27 refuse trucks that were tendered from a local company in a bid to improve refuse collection. Council spokesperson Mr Leslie Gwindi said Paza Buster delivered five trucks and the company will deliver the refuse trucks in batches.
"I can confirm that we have been receiving refuse trucks that were tendered from the company. Though I am not sure as to how many have been delivered to date, I can say we have been receiving the vehicles in batches.
"I am sure we received five trucks before Christmas. I don't know if they have delivered another batch during the Christmas period," he said.
Council has tendered for the supply of 27 refuse trucks from Paza Buster. This would see the number increase to 47 refuse compactors to ensure each of the city's 46 wards has a truck.
Paza Buster spokesperson Mr Paul Chenjerai said his company had so far delivered 12 of the 27 trucks to the city.
"The vehicles are already with the city. They are already collecting garbage. We are moving to fulfill the tender in the shortest time possible," he said.
Mr Chenjerai said they had failed to deliver the trucks by the December 31 deadline because of delays in the council completing the tender.
The tender was only released towards the end August this year.
"Mind you these are special vehicles manufactured abroad and per order. This has affected the delivery of the trucks to the city council," he said.
The city is also buying four skip trucks from Croco Motors.

Kabondo Centre breaking ground in Burundi!
The street children of Bujumbura have been celebrating the ground breaking of their new community center this week. The Kabondo Football for Hope Centre broke ground yesterday in Bujumbura, Burundi. Construction is about to start and is scheduled to last 4 months. This center is intended for kids living on the streets as well for children at risk in the outlying quarters, and it will aim at reintegrating those children left to fend for themselves. It also hopes to become an important hub for the local community by opening its doors to neighborhood activities.
The ceremony can start! The ground breaking ceremony gathered officials, street children and members of the community on the project site. A speech was given by the center host Giryuja's director and information panels were displayed for everyone to understand what the project is about. Information panels have been set up for the community to learn more. Gathering for the laying of the foundation stone (or bricks). The Minister of Youth, Sport and Culture, Adolphe Rukenkanya, fitted with trowel and cement, laid the first brick on the wall. The ceremony gathered many government officials and the whole community of Kabondo. The Kabondo Football for Hope centre will be run by the organization Giriyuja. Giriyuja, a partner of Terre des hommes, has been working with street children in Bujumbura since 2006. It works in three broad areas: child protection (specifically the protection of street children); the reintegration of vulnerable children by offering them literacy classes and vocational training, and facilitating their access to basic services; and advocacy surrounding the rights of children in Bujumbura. View of the center The center, located in the middle of the Kabondo neighborhood, will help between 50 and 100 children per day once it opens its doors beginning of next year, offering activities to children living on the streets as well as children from the local area and schools. It will act as a catalyst for innovative programs in the future, offering a place for football training, football games, large scale tournaments and community events, life skills training, music. Giriyuja means "a place to call home" in Kirundi. The centre will reflect the organization's name and become a place of support for street children and the vulnerable children of the community. The kids' new home is under way.. Stay tuned for more updates! Image of the upcoming center

Health Center: Reading Textbooks
Determine what the purpose of the reading assignment is.
- If you are reading material in preparation for a lecture then survey the chapter first. Read the title, the summary at the end of the chapter, the headings, and the first sentence of each paragraph, the picture captions, and the vocabulary in dark type. This is the first step in the SQ3R method of reading.
- If you are reading following the lecture, follow the entire SQ3R procedure.
- If you are reading research material to find information, scan quickly for key words or names, and then read only the sections that will be pertinent.
Determine what type of material you are reading.
- If you are reading for a class in which broad concepts are enough, you can read fairly swiftly. Stop at the end of each paragraph or section to summarize the main ideas.
- If you are reading science or other technical material, read for details. This is slow reading, and it is often necessary to reread two or even three times. Use a Concept Map at the end of your reading to review your understanding of the material.
- If you are reading literature, read for enjoyment, but also be on the lookout for literary features such as point of view, figurative language, and/or character development.
- If you are reading essays, analyze for fact versus opinion, bias, author's thesis, and other information that might be useful when discussing the reading.
To read more efficiently:
- Find a time and place conducive to concentration. The library is a good place with few distractions. Determine your optimal time of concentration. Are you a morning or evening person?
- Take notes on your reading. These may be a separate entity, or they may be additions to class notes.
- Stop frequently to check on your comprehension. Look away from the book and recite or summarize the main points.
- If your mind is wandering take a break or change your position.
- The second time through highlight the important points (not everything!) or make annotations in the margins. Use one color for main ideas and a second color for details.
- Be prepared to read some materials two or even three times. Even the best readers have to read some things more than once. If the material is technical in nature or if it contains new concepts, you should not expect to remember or understand the material in one reading.
Use a Concept or Mind Map as a means of reviewing and/or testing what you remember. If you can explain it to yourself or someone else then you understand the material. Review your reading and class notes frequently to ensure that the information is retained in your long-term memory.

Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy Death Watch: Why Arizona Robbins Might Die in the Season 8 Finale
In anticipation of the Grey's Anatomy Season 8 finale (Season 8, Episode 24, "Flight"), here at Wetpaint Entertainment we're obsessively trying to figure out which characters are most likely on the chopping block. So far, we've pondered Derek's (Patrick Dempsey) possible departure, as well as Lexie's (Chyler Leigh). Now we turn our attention to another fan fave we'd hate to see go: Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw).
We want to believe Shonda couldn't possibly kill off the radiant Arizona, but we can't help but notice clues that makes it seem like she is in danger. Here's why.
She's in a bad situation: Arizona seems to be in bad shape after the plane crash, based on the first preview of the episode.
Shonda won't talk about Calzona: Shonda has refused to talk about what happens to Calzona in the finale. Is it because Arizona's death is the central surprise?
Callie voiceover: In this new preview of the episode, Callie (Sara Ramirez) has taken the voiceover reins from Meredith (Ellen Pompeo). Other characters normally only voiceover when something big is happening to them or someone they love.
It's a game changer: As much as we hate the idea, Arizona's death would shake up the narrative quite a bit. First, it would give Callie (Sara Ramirez) a lot to do next season, and it would inevitably impact Mark's (Eric Dane) life in a big way, too, since he would presumably step up as Callie's best friend and the father of her child. That, in turn, would throw another wrench in his romantic life with Lexie (Chyler Leigh) or Julia.
On top of that, Arizona's death might give Alex (Justin Chambers) a reason to stay, to help the Seattle Grace-Mercy West Pediatrics department, maybe even in a leadership role.
Her recent arc: Arizona's arc in the last few episodes ended with her demanding Callie promise never to leave her. Wouldn't it be ironic if she died, leaving Callie behind, the very next episode?
Jessica on Twitter: Jessica Capshaw was one of the first cast members to go to Twitter and tell her followers not to freak out about the finale. Could it be because she knows her fans will be the most upset out of everyone?
Jessica's pregnant again: Working on Grey's seems like a great environment for parents, but with another baby on the way, is it possible that Jessica actually wants to leave the show to focus on her kids?
It would be very, very sad: A lot of fuss has been made about how sad the finale is, and how beloved the departing character is. Arizona is definitely well liked by fans, and we can think of nothing sadder than a character who finally has everything she wants meeting an untimely end.
We really, really hope we're wrong on this one, because it would break our hearts. What do you think: Is Arizona safe, or should we be worried?
Catch the season finale of Grey's Anatomy on Thursday, May 17 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

SIPP sample members will be followed for 3 to 4 years, but, following SIPP practice since 1996, the panels will not overlap.
The first part of this chapter discusses concerns about moving SIPP to a nonoverlapping annual survey that relies on EHCs to develop month-to-month information on households. The remainder of the chapter discusses several additional issues related to SIPP design features (length and frequency of interviews, length and overlap of panels), content, timeliness, and budget that the panel thinks are important.
One feature of SIPP that the panel does not discuss is the sample size and design. The current design (see Chapter 2), which oversamples low-income populations based on the previous census, has been in use beginning with the 1996 panel, and sample sizes have been what the SIPP budget could afford. While data users would always prefer additional sample, SIPP users have found the sample sizes of recent SIPP panels (see Table 2-1) to be adequate for most purposes. The design, although not state representative, includes cases in every state (most of which are identified on the public-use microdata files) so that researchers can take account of differences in state tax and transfer program rules in their analyses. Ordinarily, the design would next be revised based on the 2010 census; however, that census will not include a long-form sample with data on income and other socioeconomic characteristics. Instead, the continuous American Community Survey (ACS) now provides that information (beginning in 2005). It will be necessary to redesign the SIPP sample to use the ACS, but it is our understanding that the ACS will not be available until 2012 for this purpose. As the ACS is relatively new and the shape of the reengineered SIPP is not finalized, the panel thinks it would be premature to comment on sample design issues.
As emphasized throughout this report, a unique feature of SIPP is its capacity to measure short-run dynamics. Monthly data on incomes, employment, program participation, health insurance coverage, and demographic characteristics of the household allow analysts to study transitions into marriage and divorce, transitions into and out of poverty, and transitions in health insurance coverage, at a monthly frequency. Monthly data also make SIPP particularly well suited for assessing eligibility for major transfer programs, since program rules typically depend on economic and demographic characteristics in the month or months prior to application. Studies of program take-up require careful calculations of eligibility—the denominator of the take-up rate—and high-quality measures of program participation—the numerator of the take-up rate. Studies of short-run dynamics are impossible with other nationally representative data sets,

Obama's More Perfect Union Speech
Personally, the part about Barack Obama's former minister was the least important part of the senator's speech yesterday (full text here). Having already said most of it over the preceding few days as he was harassed and harangued out of all proportion to this miniscule issue, it was also the most boring section. Boring because I don't care about the minister.
But public (or, at least, media) attention was so unrelenting that Senator Obama was forced to explain himself. As he began, I feared he would fumble this crucial speech - until about halfway through the 40 minutes when he said:
"I suppose the politically safe thing would be to move on from this episode and just hope that it fades into the woodwork."
Of course, he was right. That is what the body politic wanted. Having cornered the black man into atoning for words that are not his, the media, the public, those who oppose his candidacy wanted him to pay for the right to continue the campaign on an equal footing with the woman candidate by abasing himself at the feet of their accusations. Only then would they put the campaign's racial under- and overtones back into a drawer.
For awhile.
Until next time.
But instead of setting aside the race issue, Senator Obama called on all the people of the United States to face it head on and really mean it this time:
"But race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now," he said. "We would be making the same mistake that Reverend Wright made in his offending sermons about America - to simplify and stereotype and amplify the negative to the point that it distorts reality.
"The fact is that the comments that have been made and the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we've never really worked through - a part of our union that we have yet to perfect.
"And if we walk away now, if we simply retreat into our respective corners, we will never be able to come together and solve challenges like health care, or education, or the need to find good jobs for every American."
Senator Obama should never have been required to make this speech. But without it, due to the insinuations, innuendo and those video clips of Reverend Wright, the issue would have festered for months preventing any possibility of debate on our deadly serious problems.
He delivered one of the most sophisticated speeches politics has seen in years. Also one of the most personal and most decent - one that asks all of us to become our better selves:
"Just as black anger often proved counterproductive, so have these white resentments distracted attention from the real culprits of the middle class squeeze - a corporate culture rife with inside dealing, questionable accounting practices, and short-term greed; a Washington dominated by lobbyists and special interests; economic policies that favor the few over the many.
"And yet, to wish away the resentments of white Americans, to label them as misguided or even racist, without recognizing they are grounded in legitimate concerns - this too widens the racial divide, and blocks the path to understanding.
"This is where we are right now. It's a racial stalemate we've been stuck in for years. Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, black and white, I have never been so naïve as to believe that we can get beyond our racial divisions in a single election cycle, or with a single candidacy - particularly a candidacy as imperfect as my own.
"But I have asserted a firm conviction - a conviction rooted in my faith in God and my faith in the American people - that working together we can move beyond some of our old racial wounds, and that in fact we have no choice if we are to continue on the path of a more perfect union."
Not quite John F. Kennedy's "Ask not what your country can do for you…" Not quite Dr. Martin Luther King's "I have a dream…" Or his "Letter From Birmingham Jail." But approaching them and certainly a speech that will not be forgotten for a long time. Bear with me, read a bit more and tell me you're not inspired – whomever your candidate is:
"…in this election, we can come together and say, 'Not this time.' This time we want to talk about the crumbling schools that are stealing the future of black children and white children and Asian children and Hispanic children and Native American children.
"This time we want to reject the cynicism that tells us that these kids can't learn; that those kids who don't look like us are somebody else's problem. The children of America are not those kids, they are our kids, and we will not let them fall behind in a 21st century economy. Not this time.
"This time we want to talk about how the lines in the emergency room are filled with whites and blacks and Hispanics who do not have health care; who don't have the power on their own to overcome the special interests in Washington, but who can take them on if we do it together.
"This time we want to talk about the shuttered mills that once provided a decent life for men and women of every race, and the homes for sale that once belonged to Americans from every religion, every region, every walk of life. This time we want to talk about the fact that the real problem is not that someone who doesn't look like you might take your job; it's that the corporation you work for will ship it overseas for nothing more than a profit."
Senator Obama spoke yesterday with eloquence, dignity and vision about the future of the United States. Is it too much to hope that Reverend Jeremiah Wright can be put to bed now and the campaign get on with the conversation the senator is trying to start?
Here is the video of Senator Obama's entire speech (37:02 minutes):
[At The Elder Storytelling Place today, Mage Bailey follows up on some previous culinary-related stories with Failure to Cook.]
Posted by Ronni Bennett at 02:44 AM | Permalink | Email this post
I thought Obama's speech was excellent, intelligent and eloquent as you said. Now, I, too, am waiting for this election's focus to be on the multitude of issues it should be about. I think outwardly the candidates are amenable to that, but too many people have other agendas.
Thank you for this. I was also going to do a blog on this and may still. To me, this is very brave and according to a Reuters poll out this morning, Obama is losing ground. I would like to believe this is not because of his speech but because of media badgering of his Pastor.
The WSJ posted the full text of his speech online yesterday an hour before he gave it. What truely hit home for me, besides his speech, were the comments posted by readers following the speech.
Most of them were unfortunately a testament to what he spoke. He was right on: we do have a major problem in this country with racists, biggots, and media who go in for the kill with their hype and innuendo. Why do we tolerate this?
We are adults. We need to turn off the pundits and pollsters and do what is in our hearts and minds. As always, thank you Ronni for consistently delivering a vehicle for discussion.
This speech should move the hearts and minds of everyone who watches it. It is one of the great orations of our,or any, generation.
If I weren't already planning to vote for Obama, I would certainly do so after hearing the voice of this eloquent man. His leadership is apparent. His speech is such a contrast to the inappropriate smirks and gaffs that are the hallmark of a George Bush speech.
I fail to see how the hateful Rush Limbaugh's, and other right-wing commentators, will be able to fault it, but, rest assured, they will find a way. I hope that people who listen to those divisive haters are swayed by Barack Obama and will see the Limbaugh's for what they are; petty opportunists.
Barack took a risk by pointing out the disparity that exists between the races, but deep in the hearts of all is the knowledge of the truth of his statements.
I hope his speech shames those commentators who have been obsessing on the Reverend White's oratory and force them to talk about the real issues.
Thanks for posting one more cooking story, and yes, he was forced into saying all this and saying it again. Gee......
I supported him before the speech and even more so after it. I have seen him as a leader who can deal with the issues that are most troubling this country. It's hard to say what impact the speech will have as so many people only hear what already suits them and they twist anything that does not.
Maybe you should care about the minister because, as I tell my teenage son, "You are known by the company you keep."
Sorry, but I disagree sharply with both your post & the above opinions. It does matter what your minister says -- if your interpretation of the Bible is significantly different, you go to another church. As a Congregationist, I have gotten up & walked out when the minister began a political talk rather than focusing on religion -- the Bible & Sin.
This speech is no more than a more sophisicated "Checkers" speech & just as honest as Nixon was.
[Final sentence removed for its racially inflammatory nature. - RB]
excellent reflection on this important and remarkable speech--about race in anerica, one of our dominant issues. the other is class. we try to avoid both.
barack obama makes me proud of him as he embodies the halting progrss we've made over the last 40 years. how fortunate we are to have a cabdidate who has the courage to speak to our problems in a manner that challenges our best instincts as americans.
Thank you. The speech, and your posting, make me hopeful. Some of what I am reading and hearing in the immediate fall out from the speech is dimming my hope for our country having a more sophisticated and honest dialogue not only on race, but the "other" real issues of this campaign. But I confess I feel much better today than I did after a week or more of watching the endless loop of clips on this preacher, and all the resulting baiting by pundits--and others--to garner ratings or favor for their own candidate in the process. Some evangelical preachers, as I recall, have said some pretty horrid things about our country and (some of) the people who live here, and we've had political figures who sought their blessing and endorsements. In comparison, that made the furor over this local Chicago preacher seem overblown in my view. He didn't have a national platform until we, and the media, gave it to him. Reverend Wright became an unwitting contributor in creating the groundswell that forced Obama to step up to the plate and give the speech he delivered yesterday. I hope the campaign and the coverage of it can now...move on. Will a more perfect union result, whether Obama wins or not? I sure hope so.
Thanks for the post Ronni. All the commentary on blogs, tv, and print media is making me sad and tired. Too mean. Too picky. Too demanding of perfection from every candidate. As for me, I have made my choice and will turn off the fight and return to working on the home front. Take care.
I don't know when the last time was that I heard a politician speak so eloquently as this speech by Senator Obama. Unfortunately, the European media propagates readily the rhetoric blunders of Bush, but not the intelligent rhetoric of your other politicians. Even if one is not an Obama voter, or can not vote at all because we are a citizens of another country, Mr. Obama is a roll model we can show our children. He made a grand gesture giving that speech, and demonstrated dignity and integrity. My children and I spent an hour this evening over dinner discussing the speech. What more could I wish for?
Yes, Marilyn. that's why Jesus spent all his time with the sinners.
Talk about not getting it....
We can always count on you, Ronni, to keep us abreast of the important issues of our lives.
I was disappointed that I would be in transit at the time Senator Obama would be delivering this important speech and thought I would only see "Snippets" of it on Fox Noise; and only the bits they chose to reshow over and over again as they have shown Reverend Wright's tirade ad nauseum.
So, when I got home yesterday and couldn't find the speech anywhere, I thought I had missed seeing it in it's entirety. But, I hadn't counted on you, Ronni. This morning when I opened my computer for the first time, there it was. The entire speech. And what a speech it was!
Senator Obama is quite an orator and my husband and I were captivated by his sincerity and his grasp of the issues that divide some of us of different races, religions and politics.
Thanks for posting the entire speech.I'm sure there were others who would have missed it if it hadn't appeared on your site.
I will remain a Hillary Clinton fan through the primaries, but in the event that Senator Obama becomes the nominee of the Democratic Party, I will be proud to cast my vote for him.
As a Canadian resident, I hopte that if elected Senator Obama will be able to bridge the significant GAP that presently exists in many important areas such as race, seniors and Canada/USA relations with respect to NAFTA. I strongly believe that Reverend Jeremiah Wright as a free citizen has the right to express his own opinion in the most honest way possible. Real change will only come when the root problems in the USA or Canada are identified and discussed openly. Then, creative solutions will more readily show up for a better overall Society.
When I was a young Marine and my buddy Shelton and I got orders to report to Camp Pendleton in transit for Korea, we both got 30 day's leave to bid farewell to family, girlfriends etc., before shipping out to join "The Police Action".
I was planning on driving cross-country and leaving my car with my folks for the "duration". Shelton's family was in New Orleans and that would be just a few miles out of my way, if I took the southern route from California to New York so Shelton said he wanted to drive with me, share the driving and gas money, and then I could stay at his mom's place for a couple of days and we'd "do' Bourbon Street.
That sounded good to me, so that was the plan until a few days later when Shelton told me he'd spoken to his mom on the phone and she told that him that I couldn't stay with them because "she wouldn't have a white boy, even Shelton's best buddy in her home"
So I took the Route 66 and barelled through the midwest.
That was the first time I found myself on the wrong side of the color line and when I began to understand racial prejudice.
Barack Obama got it dead right, racial prejudice is everybody's problem in this country and even if we try to ignore it, it's not just going to go away. In fact, I believe that it's a bigger problem today than it was during the Korean war. Now we have hispanics vs. anglos and African-Americans and vice versa, Christians hating Muslims, Asians etc. etc.
I do hope with all my heart that Barack Obama is elected president of this country because he is the only one who has a chance of leading us out of the awful mess we're in but even if isn't elected he has opened a dialog that needs to be addressed.
I agree with 70 yr old grandmother.
There is a reason he is not condemning his racist pastor. We should be concerned about that.
But, pathetically, as with my generation, the boomers, he is thought of as "cool." How idiotic.
My sense is that people who have a problem with Obama for "not condemning his racist pastor" (i.e., above comment) just can't get their brains around the fact that he has the grace and intelligence to condemn the offensive words spoken while still embracing the speaker as being family to him. Correct me if you think I'm wrong, but didn't Obama rather epitomize the characteristics of a true Christian in his remarkable speech? Perhaps those who haven't yet developed such spiritual depth continue to criticize what he said more out of self-loathing than anything else!
(I posted my thoughts about Obama in my new blog on March 21.)
If Obama were to become President, would the United States become an Obama-nation?

wart develops when a
human papillomavirus infects the outer layer of
skin and causes the skin cells to grow rapidly. The virus can then spread from
an existing wart to other areas of the body, causing more warts. Various types
of this virus thrive in warm, damp environments such as showers, locker room
floors, and swimming pool areas.
You are most likely to develop a
wart where you have broken skin, such as a cut, a hangnail, a closely bitten nail,
or a scrape. Plantar warts are common to swimmers whose feet are not only damp
and softened but are also scratched and broken by rough pool surfaces. Common
warts are often seen among those who handle meat, chicken, and fish.
Warts are easily spread by
direct contact with a human papillomavirus. You can reinfect yourself by
touching the wart and then another part of your body. You can infect others by
sharing towels, razors, or other personal items. After exposure to a human
papillomavirus, it can take many months of slow growth beneath the skin
before you notice a wart.
It is unlikely
that you will develop a wart every time you are exposed to a human
papillomavirus. Some people are more likely to develop warts than others.

A judge in Los Angeles is telling Donald Sterling to show up in court today to testify in his challenge to the sale of his Los Angeles Clippers basketball team.
The NBA wants to oust Sterling because of racist remarks he made to a girlfriend that were recorded.
Sterling's attorneys argue that his estranged wife Shelly had no authority to unilaterally reach a deal to sell the team to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for $2 billion.
Sterling skipped yesterday's opening of the case in a Los Angeles courtroom, and instead, the first testimony came from a neurologist who said the 80-year-old has Alzheimer's disease.

Secret Life of the American Teenager
Shailene Woodley Claims Secret Life Isn't "Realistic"
We're still recovering from the devastating news that The Secret Life of the American Teenager is about to start its final season. We've spent five seasons and several pregnancies with our favorite characters, and now our time is almost at an end.
But it's definitely not the end for the Secret Life actors. Star Shailene Woodley continues to push boundaries after starring in the Oscar-nominated film The Descendants last year.
And now Shailene's busy promoting her indie flick Spectacular Now at the Sundance Film Festival. Shailene's very excited for her latest project, but we have to respectfully disagree with her recent comments about our favorite show.
When asked by IndieWire how Secret Life and Spectacular Now compare, Shailene responded, "Secret Life wasn't realistic at all. I think the themes at the core had a lot of truth to them, but the way in which they were presented was not realistic or truthful. Like I said, Spectacular Now was a really human piece. We got to explore and really get inside these kids' minds. I love that they weren't dumbed down. Teenagers are extremely smart."
Whoa! Do you agree with her or does Secret Life accurately depict the average high school experience? Tell us below!

So I've been doing a fair number of automated load tests these past six months. Primarily with Sysbench, which is a fine, fine tool. First I started using some simple bash based loop controls to automate my overnight testing, but as usually happens with shell scripts they grew unwieldy and I rewrote them in python. Now I have some flexible and easily configurable code for sysbench based MySQL benchmarking to offer the community. I've always been a fan of giving back to such a helpful group of people – you'll never hear me complain about "my time isn't free". So, let me know what you want in an ideal testing environment (from a load testing framework automation standpoint) and I'll integrate it into my existing framework and then release it via the BSD license. The main goal here is to have a standardized modular framework, based on sysbench, that allows anyone to compare their server performance via repeatable tests. It's fun to see other people's benchmarks but it's often difficult to repeat and compare since most tests aren't fully documented in their blog posts – this could be a solution to that.
Currently I have the harness doing iterations based on:
- incrementing (choose a global dynamic variable, ie: sync_binlog=0-1000) system values
- storage engine vs storage engine for the same workload
- thread quantity increments for read-only or read+write
- N-nodes in a cluster workloads with WRR traffic distribution (need to code WLC and others)
- QPS testing for connection pool vs open/close connection
- multi-table vs single-table workloads
Outputs available: CSV, XML, JSON for easy integration into any number of the various graphing frameworks available. I'll probably code up a light weight python http server preloaded with Highcharts and Sparklines so you can see your benchmarks easily without having to roll your own graphs.
Quick now, tell me what you'd like me to code for you!

MTV Video Music Awards 2013: Macklemore, Ryan Lewis hold onto their hip-hop power
"Can't Hold Us"? Well, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are holding their own on the award circuit.
After their chart-topping hit -- featuring Ray Dalton -- scored the Choice R&B Hip-Hop Song honor at the Teen Choice Awards two weeks earlier, it won the Best Hip-Hop song category at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday (Aug. 25).
Taking the stage with his main partners on the tune at Barclays Center in Brooklyn (N.Y.), Seattle native Macklemore (nee Ben Haggerty) declared, "That we are up here with the Moon Man (the nickname for the award's image) is insane!"
He then recounted "all these ideas" he had for visuals ... "need a camel, need a dude with dreadlocks in an ice cave. And that became a music video," directed by Lewis, who then took over the thanks with a list of specific names including Dalton's.
While he expressed "thanks to our families, and thanks to our fans around the world," Lewis also got in the one that likely would have landed him in hot water if he'd left it out ... to his fiancee, Tricia Davis.
And the acceptance ended somewhat hastily there, clearing the way for the bestowing of more Moon Men, including the one they'd win a few minutes later (with Mary Lambert) for Social Message Video for "Same Love."

The 2012 Super Nawetan Committee has fined Sukuta and Bakau each D2,000 for violent conduct during their group B encounter played on Sunday at the Serrekunda West Mini Stadium.
Both sides were fined after their fans stoned each other for almost 15 minutes in Sukuta's 2-1 win over Bakau in their Super Nawetan clash on Sunday.
The violent clash resulted in the damaging of some properties at the Serrekunda West Mini Stadium.
The committee, whose drive is to promote and develop football in the country, wasted no time to levy heavy fines on both Bakau and Sukuta for the violent brawl.
The committee has also awarded maximum points to Manjai after their opponents, defending champions Lamin, failed to honour their group A fixture on Saturday at the Father Gough Sports Complex in Manjai Kunda.
Lamin was also fined D500 for damaging the gate of the Father Gough Sports Complex.
Monday's game between Brufut and Brikama ended 1-0 in favour of Brufut at the Brikama Mini Stadium.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Season 4 Spoilers: A "Stunning" Sisterly Scene
The cast and crew of Pretty Little Liars are in the midst of a big experiment: Writer Joseph Dougherty wrote both Season 4, Episode 3: "Cat' Cradle" and Episode 4: "Face Time," and director Norman Buckley is working on directing both of them at once. Apparently, it made for a late night while filming a scene between two very important sisters.
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
"3:30am in rosewood," Troian Bellisario (Spencer) tweeted in the wee hours of the morning on April 6. "[Torrey DeVitto (Melissa Hastings)] still... going... strong."
A few hours later she added, "5:47 wrap on @TorreyJDeVitto and me. [Director Norman Buckley] is a hero. Still driving that ship til sun up."
Norman Buckley replied, "that last scene was stunning. We were all so tired I don't think we acknowledge how fine it was!"
"Haha. Yes, we were all quite delirious!" Torrey chimed in. "Thanks Norman! See you next week. xx"
Based on the photo above, which Norman tweeted, saying "2am in Rosewood," it looks like they were filming a night scene outside, apparently in or near the woods.
Whoa, sounds like a fun, crazy night. But leaving the insane hours aside, let's take a moment to reflect on what these tweets mean: Spencer and Melissa share at least one "stunning" scene (and by the way Norman said "that last scene," it sounds like Torrey and Troian might have been working on more than one scene) in either Episode 3 or Episode 4. And it's outside. Near the woods.
Given that Melissa is part of the mysterious "B" team, we can't wait to see what the show has in store for the Hastings sisters!
Find more Pretty Little Liars spoilers here.
Pretty Little Liars Season 4 premieres on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

Asked about the inspiration for all this custom underhood work, Chuckexplains, "While building the C5, I went to a car show and saw a carthat had its hood up. Under it was the most beautiful thing I'd everseen. It had polished stainless covering 100 percent of the enginecompartment. It looked like jewelry. I didn't want to be outdone, so Igot some jewelry of my own. Now, if I can just figure out how to drivethis baby with the hood up, I will be completely satisfied."
Unitrax Drivetrain of Anaheim, California, provided the Vette'sheavy-duty left output shaft--a necessary upgrade for any high-powered C5that sees regular drag-strip duty. "We were honored that Mr. Bradleyselected our 300M left output shaft for his car," says companyspokesperson Devin King. "We appreciate the confidence Mr. Bradley hasplaced in our product and are confident the output shaft will exceed hisexpectations."
Texas Nitrous Technology sponsored the Vette's rear-hatch-mounted,twin-tank nitrous system, which helps push the car's rear-wheel outputto an estimated 650 horses. (Final tuning had not been completed at thetime of our story.) To give the system the visual punch to back up itshorsepower-enhancing might, Chuck had Armando's Murals of Thonotosassa,Florida, airbrush two sinister-looking court jesters, one on each of thealuminum nitrous bottles.
One thing Chuck didn't count on was the sheer aural ferocity of theExtreme Sound- sponsored custom stereo. Apparently, the 2,000-wattRockford Fosgate system with Eclipse GPS makes quite a stir around town.Chuck says his goal was to make sure his cruising music was totallyuninterrupted, and he feels he's accomplished that goal just a littletoo well. Indeed, Chuck has begun the task of reading lips so he won'thave to turn the stereo down.
Predictably, his early efforts have been somewhat uneven. For example,Chuck tells us he recently saw a beautiful woman at a McDonald's. Aftergiving her a wink and a smile, he lip-read her response: "The car is badass." Chuck was feeling pretty good about himself until his son told himthe woman was really saying, "You have a fat [expletive deleted]." Sincethen, Chuck has decided to either turn his stereo down or get better atreading lips.
What does Chuck like best about his custom C5? It's got to be what hecalls the "camera-phone reaction." Chuck tells us, "It's so freaky.Everybody takes out their camera phones and starts taking photos. I took[the car] to the NCRS Corvette Regionals in Kissimmee, Florida. Therewere more pictures taken of my C5 than any other car, and my car wasn'teven in the show. I play a game. I act like they're paparazzi, and I'mTom Cruise. Well, Tom Cruise without the hair and smile and good looks.I can't have it all, I guess."
While his Vette is packed with outrageous custom touches, Chuckprofesses to value the balance of the overall presentation more than anysingle feature. "I didn't want any one styling element to overpoweranother," he explains, "I wanted the car to be uniformly good-looking. Iwanted to be able to look at it from every angle and say, 'Yes...nice.'"
With everything declared on Chuck Bradley's custom C5, he now shows thecar regularly at national and regional Corvette events--as well as on thehighways and byways of Central Florida. If you should happen to seeChuck and his Vette cruising past, be sure to get out your camera phoneand snap a photo or two.
