Your most likely from the same bad gene pool that didn't believe in women's rights, would have love to seen slavery contiue in America and the same type of people that that believes gay people should just be mute....however, you are now the minority and you're quickly being "weeded out" of the population. Get use to the new America...where no one cares how much you hate, because silly little boys..... if you would have learned from history, you could easily see anytime you try to repress a minority, it soon becomes the mainstream.....so spread your hate, you only make the others grow stronger. Peace out haters!

New York, New York (PRWEB) December 18, 2012
CoreBrand, a leading full-service brand consultancy that works closely with corporations to understand, build, express and measure their brands, announced today the company's 2013 Branding Trends Outlooks.
"There is no doubt that 2012 was a challenging year for corporations, brands and their stakeholders," commented James R. Gregory, founder and CEO of CoreBrand. "2013 will be the year of commitment to growth. Corporations and brands that were overly cautious, or even downright dormant in 2012, will require some much needed attention to regain brand momentum. Furthermore, the impending fiscal cliff, new taxation policies and the ongoing roller coaster economy throughout the U.S. and Europe will certainly have a significant impact on branding in 2013."
2013 Predictions
"Outlooks and predictions will certainly be aplenty as we start the New Year," added Russ Napolitano, Chief Operating Officer at CoreBrand. "These will be based on past history (hard data, facts) and emotion (soft data, gut instinct). The intention is to keep companies thinking about their brands and the potential internal and external forces that can impact them in 2013."
About CoreBrand
CoreBrand, an independent branding firm based out of New York City and Los Angeles, specializes in practical and applicable brand research, strategy, identity and management for global companies of all sizes and in all sectors.

Do Your Prep Work
If you could spend 3 minutes at the beginning of your workout to boost production for the rest of your regimen by 20 percent, would you do it? How about if you knew that such chiseled athletes as Crawford and NFL wideout Nate Burleson perform the same exercises?
Verstegen's "movement-prep" routine usually consists of six to eight exercises that boot up the body's computer and prepare it for action. But you only have to do two of them.
First, perform 10 hand walks. Start in pushup position: legs straight, hands on the floor. Keeping your knees straight, walk your feet toward your hands. (Your hips will rise toward the ceiling.) When you feel a stretch, walk your hands out until you're in pushup position again. That's one repetition.
Next, do 10 repetitions of what Verstegen calls the world's greatest stretch. Take a large step forward with your left leg to get into a lunge position. Now bend down and place your left elbow against the instep of your left foot while keeping your right knee off the floor. Pause momentarily, then lift your left hand and place it outside your left foot. From this position, push your hips to the ceiling (your back knee will straighten) and lift the toes of your left foot toward your shin. Finally, stand up and step forward into the next lunge and repeat. That's one repetition. "You're giving your muscles mobility and stability, which will support the rest of your workout. This is the most important and easiest thing you can do to improve performance," says Verstegen.

Grand River Station: Behind But Nearly Open
It's been a long time coming. A little longer than originally thought, actually. The Grand River Station Transit Center in downtown La Crosse. A grand opening for the center this week. About ten months after it was supposed to be open. City Public Works director Dale Hexom says original plans needed additional details worked out before contractors could even begin the project, which led to some delays. But complications with financing also pushed the completion of the transit center back. Hexom says the building will come in close to its original 23 million dollar budget. But, with bills for the project still coming in, at this point he's not sure how close.

Pre-Press and Fine-Art Color Output
High Resolution Film and Paper Output
General Imaging was founded fifty years ago as the world of type moved from the hot lead of Linotype casters to the up-and-coming photo-typesetting technologies. In the days of proprietary typesetting, we were the largest type house in Washington. The introduction of PostScript and the Macintosh computer have forever changed how production type is set. General Imaging has survived by changing with the times to offer modern color services, but we have never lost our appreciation or capacity for fine typography.
From the selection of an appropriate face to communicate your information to finessing the kerning in, for instance, eleven point Centaur for the best readability and elegance, General Imaging has the craftspeople to make the right decisions and handle the technical details.
If you need an existing typeface customized with additional characters for non-english languages General Imaging can do it. General Imaging can handle even the subtle changes like a wider counter in a "g" or the narrowing of the stroke in a "b". We've been setting type for forty years and cutting it for vinyl, 3-D, and stone applications for over fifteen years. We know and appreciate the subtle beauties and intricacies of an alphabetic glyph.

The Aviation Year Starts Here
If you're headed to the 2010 Sun 'n Fun Fly-In in Lakeland, Florida, there's plenty to check out at the FAASTeam National Resource Center. More than 25 seminars are scheduled over the six-day event, including several that directly support the FAASTeam's first-ever Safety Stand Down, a safety and education initiative designed to improve your flying safety. Bring your questions to Administrator Randy Babbitt at the "Meet the FAA" forum on Friday, April 16, at 10 pm. There's also "Maintaining Your Medical" with FAA Deputy Federal Air Surgeon Dr. James Fraser on Friday morning and FAA Safety Briefing Editor Susan Parson's "Cloudy Skies, Clear Judgment" on Wednesday morning. To learn more and to see the FAA forum schedule, go to www.FAASafety.gov.
FAA Issues Notice on Amateur-Built Safety Concerns
On March 9, 2010, FAA issued an InFO (Information for Operators) notice to communicate a safety concern regarding amateur-built experimental Lancair and other amateur-built airplanes possessing high-wing loading and stall speeds in excess of 61 knots. In the InFO, the FAA suggests pilots thoroughly review all available information regarding slow-flight and stall characteristics of these aircraft, as well as obtain specialized flight training with an experienced flight instructor to reinforce this knowledge. To read the InFO, go to: http://www.faa.gov/other_visit/aviation … O10001.pdf
FAA Changes Policy on Antidepressants for Pilots
On April 2, FAA announced it will allow some pilots to fly while taking one of four approved medications—Prozac, Zoloft, Celexa, or Lexapro—provided they have been stable on the medication for at least 12 months. For more information, go to http://www.faa.gov/news/updates/?newsId=60576.
Getting It Right in Maneuvering Flight
According to statistics kept by AOPA Air Safety Foundation, nearly one-third of all fatal accidents in the last 10 years occurred from loss of control during maneuvering flight. FAA Safety Briefing Editor Susan Parson explores this sobering statistic further in her article, "Getting It Right in Maneuvering Flight," and recognizes the importance of stall/spin aerodynamic awareness in maintaining a safe flight. Parson asks what many pilots might ponder when considering the relationship between airspeed and critical angle-of-attack (AOA): Can't I prevent a stall by keeping my airplane above the published "stall speed?" The answer (which is yes…and no) requires understanding the effect both airspeed and weight can have on lift. "Since an airfoil always stalls at the same AOA," says Parson, "an aircraft loaded by additional physical weight or aerodynamic "weight" (e.g., g-force from turning flight) flies at an AOA closer to the critical AOA." For more information on maneuvering safely, see the page 15 article of the March/April 2010 issue.
Correction: In the article "Flying by the Numbers" in the March/April 2010 FAA Safety Briefing, several readers noted an error in a final approach speed calculation for a Cessna 182S. Calibrated, not indicated, airspeed should have been used as the basis for calculating Vref, or reference landing speed. Using calibrated airspeed shows that the published final approach speed is not greater than Vref, as the article indicated, and is the minimum speed a pilot should fly. Although atmospheric conditions might dictate flying faster approach speeds, using Vref will enable a pilot a better chance of meeting the published performance numbers. The online edition of FAA Safety Briefing has been corrected to reflect this change. Thanks to the astute readers who helped us flag this.

The 4th annual Summer Basketball Camp organised by the Scholar Athletes for Change (SAC) Gambia for students between the ages of 10-17, Thursday wrapped-up at the Independence Stadium in Bakau. The five-day camp with the theme "Hazards of Life" brought together students from different schools in the country.
Speaking at the closing ceremony, Andrew Dacosta, vice chairman of the SAC Board of Directors, said the camp was very successful, as the students have learned a lot. He therefore thanked all those who in one way or the other supported them, particularly Galp Energia, Social Welfare Department, as well their counterpart in Finland.
For his part, Momodou Sabally, director of Budget at the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs, thanked the organisers and those that helped in making the camp a success. Sabally, who also made a presentation during the course of the camp on the theme "Hazards of Life" also urged the participants not to forget what they have learned at the camp, while urging to learn to become good writers. He assured that he would work very closely with his Ministry to support the young Gambian talents. Sabally finally commended Pierre Jallow, founder of SAC and the SAC Board for the initiative.
On his part, the chairman of National Sports Council, Omar Bun Njie, said the government of The Gambia is always ready to support young people especially those in search of knowledge. He therefore urged the participants to implement the knowledge gained and encourage others to come on board. He thanked those who have passion in sports, saying, "Whatever you do in sports will be recognised because we are coming to organise an award for all set records in sports". He urged the organisers to continue this kind of camps so as to develop basketball in The Gambia.
For his part, Chief Paul Odimmegwa, who spoke on behalf of the parents, thanked the organisers and those from Finland.He concluded by thanking the children for participating and urged them to keep participating in this kind of trainings so that it can help to move The Gambia forward.
Martin Gomez, principal of St. Augustine SSS, who is also the president of the Gambia Senior Secondary School Sports Association (GSSSSA) said his association has been part of SAC since its inception. He stated that SAC has really helped in reviving the basketball game in schools. He also disclosed that his association has been organising a basketball competition for the past two years. He finally thanked the initiator of this programme, Pierre Jallow, while hoping that it would be a bigger camp next year. "To whom much is given, much is expected and there is much expected from the participants," he remarked.
Delivering the vote of thanks, Ramatoulie Mboob, a participant said the camp is very important as they have learned a lot. She finally thanked the organisers and those who made it successful. At the end of the ceremony, participants were awarded with prizes and certificates of various categories for their successful participation in the camp.

It was the second consecutive loss for the Aggies, who fall to 3-2 on the season. Virginia improves to 4-1.
"Tonight we were outplayed by a home team that was really on," A&M head coach Howard Joffe said. "While the scoreboard doesn't necessarily suggest it, I thought we played with the most focus and passion we have thus far in the young season. We will need to bounce back tomorrow and avoid any discouragement from tonight's outcome."
Virginia took a 1-0 lead after winning the first two doubles matches to be completed. The Cavaliers' eighth-ranked tandem of Julia Elbaba and Rachel Pierson jumped out to a 2-0 lead against A&M's 22nd-ranked Stefania Hristov and Cristina Stancu at the No. 1 line and kept the lead for the remainder of the match in a 6-2 victory.
The Cavaliers then clinched the point at the No. 2 line, where Danielle Collins and Li Xi held off 51st-ranked Rutuja Bhosale and Ines Deheza, 6-4.
Virginia's Maci Epstein and Stephanie Nauta held a narrow 5-4 lead over A&M's Saska Gavrilovska and Anna Mamalat at the No. 3 line when the match was stopped.
Nauta, ranked No. 85 in singles, gave the Cavaliers a 2-0 lead with a straight-set 6-1, 6-1 victory over Mamalat at No. 4 singles. Epstein continued the scoring for Virginia, handing Hristov her first singles loss of the year with a 6-2, 6-4 victory at the No. 5 line.
In a match-up between top-15 players, 11th-ranked Elbaba topped No. 14 Stancu, 6-1, 6-3, at No. 1 singles to clinch the 4-0 victory for the Cavaliers.
Deheza, playing third singles, was the only Aggie to win a first set, as she downed 43rd-ranked Pierson, 7-6, winning the tiebreaker, 7-4. Pierson held a 3-1 advantage in the second set when play was stopped.
Aggie freshman Jana McCord, making her second appearance of the season, had dropped her first set, 6-3, against Marie Faure at No. 6, but the second set was knotted at 4-4 before Virginia closed out the team victory and the match went unfinished.
The Aggies close out the tournament against former Big 12 Conference rival and 17th-ranked Texas on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. (5:30 CT)

Original Post:
2 things. First, while the part of that post that you wrote is fine and certainly adds to the discussion, the post that you appear to have quoted (please use the quote function to set something like that apart from your own contributions) looks as if it was written by a 12-year-old on his latest attempt to pass the fourth grade. At the very least, use a quote block. More ideally, quote someone who can form coherent sentences, or just link to their post and summarize what they tried to say despite their literary failings.
Also, despite the moanings and gnashings of teeth on other forums, arcane is, as far as we can tell, only being nerfed back to where it's not completely imbalanced and dominant over every other dps spec save for one of the lock specs (which is also going to be nerfed), plus it's actually going to be mildly interesting/skill-based to play now, which it was largely not during the Great Age of Scorch Weaving. The sky is not falling, and we'll see where arcane ends up once the patch is actually finished and deployed. People will be playing it past the next 2 weeks.
Figured I'd share some armors math since we won't be playing arcane for more than a couple weeks. I'm just going to copy and paste from a recent app thread:
ive been using mage armor because i assumed it would be better for arcane by design.
frost armor vs mage armor
simcraft's scale factors for my toon are -
1 haste rating - 2.81 dps
1 mastery rating - 2.55 dps
frost armor - 7% haste x 425.19 = 2976.33 haste rating
mage armor - 3000 mastery rating
2976.33 haste rating = 8363.48 dps (frost armor)
3000 mastery rating = 7650 dps (mage armor)
so... i guess frost armor is better. less than 1k dps so definitely not a big deal but yea.
i guess ill use frost armor from now on.
You went pretty far. You missed one part though. The 7% haste is multiplicative with your other haste meaning: I have for example: 13.67% haste. I gain 5% (multiplicative) in raid bringing me to 19.35% haste (1.1367*1.05). When you add in frost armor buff that gives me a total of 27.70% haste (1.1935*1.07) meaning frost armor gives me a total bonus of 8.35% haste (27.70-19.35). This correlates to an apparent 3552 haste. So frost armor is even better than you'd think due to the amount of haste you have.
I'll add an addendum here. There are assumptions made by both parties in this discussion. Probably the biggest assumption is the stat weights. If the first mage had simmed with frost armor buff instead of the default mage armor then his haste stat weights would have already accounted for the multiplicative buff (by increasing the value of haste). This is because of the way simcraft functions. Let's say for example it calculates your dps with 5000 (11.76%) haste and frost armor and comes up with 150,000. In doing its scale calculation is will simulate dps with 4500 (10.58%) haste and frost armor (1.18% difference). Because frost armor is multiplying your base haste value your overall haste goes from (1.1176*1.07*1.05=1.2556 (25.56%)) to 1.1058*1.07*1.05=1.2423 (24.23%)). An overall difference in haste of 1.33%. If you had been using mage armor when calculating the stat weights your haste differential would have been less (1.24%, resulting in a lower value of haste). This is how simcraft rolls in the buff to the calculation.

CommandShift3by: David Vo
I am sure many of you wasted countless hours voting on HotorNot during college…maybe you still do. Using the same "face-off" model, CommandShift3 pits one website against the next; conceived at the loosely-organized, totally awesome coworking experience known as Jelly, you won't be able to rate sites on loading times or ease of use but rather just the landing page via a series of screenshots, but we're totally fine with that — if the desire strikes you, you can click though easily enough. Thanks to Adam Varga, Erin Sparling, Lee Semel, Amit Gupta, Dan Lurie and Darrell Silver for allowing us to pass anonymous judgment on hundreds of websites, without feeling guilty about it at all.

Video: Elephant warning
Listen: 'Bee rumble' alarm call made by elephants.
Entire elephant families bolt when they hear recordings of trumpetings made by other elephants fleeing from bees.
This is the first demonstration that elephants may make specific sounds to warn of particular threats, although they have also been observed "roaring" when threatened by lions.
"Six out of 10 elephant families fled from the loudspeaker when we played the 'bee rumble' compared to just two when we played a control rumble and one with the same call shifted to a different frequency," says Lucy King of the University of Oxford, who heads a team in Kenya investigating the meanings of elephant vocalisations. The fleeing elephants also shook their heads violently, as if trying to deflect bees.
In 2007, King and her colleagues demonstrated that elephants flee in terror from bees and from recordings of bees. Last year, in follow-up trials, they successfully protected human settlements from encroachment by elephants by wiring beehives together as a fence.
Bee rumble
The latest findings open up the possibility of using recordings of the "bee rumble" as a deterrent as well, helping to prevent potential conflict between humans and elephants.
Elephants are terrified of bees because they can crawl into their trunk and sting them from inside it. They also sting around the animals' eyes, leaving painful welts that take weeks to disappear. The researchers believe that the rumbles alert both the elephant's family and neighbouring herds to the threat, and may teach young elephants that bees are dangerous.
Monkeys and birds are known to produce slightly different sounds to warn of different types of threat. Putty-nosed monkeys native to Nigeria, for example, make different sounds to warn of leopards or eagles.

|Coast Q1 sales up 6.9%
|Written by HGO Staff
VANCOUVER (21 May 2012) - Double-digit improvements in its builder business gave Coast Wholesale Appliances a 6.9% overall uptick in sales for the first quarter of the year, although it fell just short of breaking even during the period.
For the three months ending March 31, 2012, Coast recorded sales of $30.0 million, up 6.9%, from $28.1 million in for the same period of 2011. Meanwhile the net loss totalled $4,000 or zero cents per share an improvement from the net loss of $487,000 or 4.9 cents per share declared for the first quarter of last year.
The company noted it enjoyed a 10.9% increase in sales to builders, which was tempered somewhat by a more modest 2.5% retail sales gain while other revenues - generated by warranty sales, freight and installation, sales of glass products and commission sales - increased 5.7%.
This meant Coast's business mix for the first quarter to shift in favour of builder sales.
Regionally, sales in British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba benefited from upticks in home construction, particularly in the multi-unit sector although single family home building was up in the latter two provinces.
Meanwhile, overall sales were down slightly in Alberta as growth in retail was offset by reduced demand from builders.
However, revenues from Coast's single store in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) were again up significantly from the prior year, with strong sales growth in both the retail and builder segments. Builder business in this market continued to benefit from the completion of sales logged in 2010 and 2011 in both the single-family and multi-family sectors.
Canada's only publicly-held white goods retail specialist noted that while gross profit improved slightly from $6.8 million in Q1 2011 to $6.9 million this year, gross margin decreased from 24.0% to 22.9%.
Coast attributed the decline in gross margin percentage in large part to the competitive retail environment that persisted in all of its markets across the country. Gross margin was also negatively impacted by reduced prices on floor models in order to accommodate the introduction of the KitchenAid line at 12 of its stores in B.C. and Alberta in January. Margins were also negatively impacted by discounted pricing on certain items to reduce inventory levels and the increase in Coast's builder business, which generates a lower margin than its retail sales, had an impact.
During the first quarter, as part of its ongoing strategy to enhance profitability by increasing sales from its existing stores, Coast proceeded with upgrade work at its stores in Coquitlam and Victoria, B.C. Both are scheduled for completion by the end of the second quarter.
To support its growth in the GTA, Coast moved forward with plans for the relocation of its existing store to a new facility. The new location will feature a state-of-the-art showroom with working designer kitchens and an adjoining warehouse that is of sufficient size to accommodate the future addition of new stores in the GTA. This move will also be completed by the end of the second quarter.
"While we are disappointed by our Q1 gross margin, we are pleased with our sales performance, particularly in the GTA," Coast president and chief executive officer Maurice Paquette said in a statement. "At the same time, we continued to strengthen our backlog of contract orders for future delivery, thanks to a steady flow of development activity in both the multi-family and single-family builder sectors."
Paquette also noted inventory levels were down $600,000 from December 31 and he anticipates further reductions by the end of the second quarter. This, he said, will lead to improved inventory turns in the second half of 2012.
"Finally, we are happy to report that our sales of KitchenAid major appliances in B.C. and Alberta during the first three months of the year exceeded our expectations," Paquetter said. "The brand has been a strong performer for Coast in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario, and we expect that extending it nationally will contribute significant incremental revenue through the balance of the year and over the longer term."
In conjunction with the release of its first quarter results, Coast announced that the company's long-time chief financial officer, Jack Peck, intends to retire in the fall of 2012. A search for his successor has begun and Peck will remain with Coast until a new CFO is appointed and will work closely with his successor to ensure a smooth and orderly transition.
Paquette said Coast remains cautious about its outlook for the rest of year, not only for its own business but for the major appliance category in general.
While its builder business has grown in recent months, Coast expects the pace of growth will slow through the rest of the year - mainly because of a softening in single-family home construction in much of the country.
"Overall, Coast does not anticipate that total housing starts for this year will be significantly different from 2011 levels," Paquette said. "On the retail side, while first quarter sales improved year-over-year, the company expects that consumers will remain careful about making major purchases and that retail pricing will remain extremely competitive through the balance 2012, putting downward pressure on sales and margins.
"We expect that our revenues and profitability will continue to be impacted by slow economic growth and fragile consumer confidence in our western Canadian and GTA markets through 2012 and into 2013," he continued, adding, "However, we remain confident in our ability to grow our business over the longer-term as economic conditions improve, and particularly in the GTA market. In the meantime, keeping our stores current and attractive is vital to maintaining our market advantage."
During the second quarter, in addition to completing upgrade work at its Coquitlam and Victoria stores, and relocating its GTA store, Coast plans to add space to its Saskatoon, Saskatchewan warehouse. The expansion will enable the company to reconfigure the adjoining store's showroom in a major upgrade planned for the second half of the year.

ONCE it was perceived as a death sentence people would rather not know whether they had. Now, every American between 13 and 64 could be advised to take a voluntary HIV test, regardless of whether or not they are at high risk of contracting the virus, according to guidelines expected to be published by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
The tests would be offered every time an individual visited a doctor, with the ultimate aim of every person taking at least one test in their lifetime. The World Health Organization is expected follow suit by recommending routine voluntary testing in any country where being HIV-positive isn't punishable by law.

If you have ever found yourself in front of a bulletin board, you will know that some posters draw you in, while others simply do not. With so many advertisements in one space, you must be careful to make your poster stand out. Here are a few design elements and posting guidelines that will help your poster printing campaign to succeed. 1. Clear and catchy designs win the day Poster printing involves a delicate balance of graphics, text, and white space. Large print and simple phrasing will command attention from those passing by. Graphics are great eye catchers as well, so long as they do not clutter up the poster. That is where the white space comes in. White space is the area on your poster left blank. Used well, white space will call attention to your message. As a rule, your poster message should be clear enough to understand from a distance. 2. Be specific with your message Decide ahead of time what the purpose of your poster is. Poster printing is most effective if the message is clear and to the point. You should not include unnecessary information. For events, include the date, time, and place. If necessary, describe the event briefly. If you are selling something, showcase only that item. Do not throw in a few extra products, since this will just clutter up the poster and make it boring. 3. Use different sized posters You can use any size in poster printing. Experiment with different ones to see which works best for you. Sometimes space on the bulletin board will dictate what size your poster should be. A large area does not necessarily mean that you need a larger poster. Try posting several posters together in a pattern. This will make a statement and will likely draw attention. 4. Be thoughtful of others when you hang your poster Never cover up a competitor's poster. If there is no room on the bulletin board, look for an outdated poster and cover it up or remove it. Don't get upset if your poster is covered up. Just remember to check on them ever so often to uncover them. 5. There is a strategy to hanging posters You have spent some time and money on poster printing and you want your advertisement to be seen. There a few places on the bulletin board that are prime real estate. Center of the board is most coveted. If you have a temporary, time sensitive poster, go ahead and place it in the center, since it will get covered up shortly. If you have a long term poster, place it around the perimeter. And hang more than one poster up by scattering them or placing them together. Either way, more posters will get more noticed. Use a staple gun to hang you poster. Staples cannot be borrowed and they hold very well. Well-placed posters will grab attention so that your poster will do its job.

Cornell West, on HBO's Real Time, reiterated his criticism that President Obama is a "war criminal" for killing innocent people through drone strikes. He went on to make a simple, but rarely heard observation, that if you "have an empire, you're going to have war crimes."
Critical voices like his are an exception in the mainstream. For the most part, establishment liberals have either been silent or have cheered as Obama has expanded the national security state. West chastises these liberals as "morally bankrupt" for giving Obama a pass for the same problematic policies that Bush was roundly criticized for.
The mainstream reception of the NSA leaks is only the most recent illustrations of this trend. Rather than criticize the gross abuse of power by government, a smear campaign was orchestrated first against whistleblower Snowden and then journalist Glenn Greenwald.
From MSNBC's Mika Brezeznski using, as Greenwald statesongoing revelations. Fully 55% of Americans believe that Snowden is a whistle blower rather than a "traitor," and in a dramatic reversal far greater numbers of the public believe that the government has gone too far in violating civil liberties.
The machinery of liberal imperialism and the rhetorical shift orchestrated by the Obama administration is beginning to unravel.
Liberal Imperialism
Towards the end of Bush's second term the credibility of the US had been badly damaged on the world stage. Sections of the political elite had begun to strategize about how to rehabilitate empire's image.
In 2007, a leadership group headed by Madeleine Albright produced a document titled "Changing Course: A New Direction for US Relations with the Muslim World." The document states that to defeat "violent extremists," military force was necessary but not sufficient, and that the US needed to forge "diplomatic, political, economic, and cultural initiatives." In short, both "hard" and "soft" power was needed.
It rejected the Bush-era "clash of civilizations" framework and advised the next president to talk about improving relations with Muslim-majority countries in his or her inaugural speech and reaffirm the US's "commitment to prohibit all forms of torture."
Obama did exactly that. From his inaugural speech to the speech in Cairo he echoed these themes emphasizing the positive contributions of Muslims to human history. His administration dropped the term "Global War on Terror" and replaced it with the innocuous "Overseas Contingency Operations," all the while critiquing torture and upholding liberal human rights principles.
Yet liberal rhetoric by itself was not enough to rehabilitate empire. The defeat in Iraq, and the Afghan quagmire, necessitated a shift in imperial thinking from conventional warfare to largely invisible mechanisms of coercion.
Analyzing the 2012 Defense Planning Guidance document in my book Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire, I argued that the era of large scale warfare was over, instead "the new phase of Obama's imperial posture involves reestablishing US hegemony. . .through multilateral alliances and the use of air strikes, drone attacks, and counterterrorism and special operations forces as well as cyber warfare."
revealed that the US continues to maintain several secret prisons in Afghanistan where torture continues. Jeremy Scahill in his book Dirty Wars unearthed another such prison in Somalia.
It is hard to say how many more there are in other countries. But these revelations shed light on why the Obama administration has not prosecuted a single Bush administration official for torture. In fact, it has granted immunity to these officials.
When Bush indefinitely detained prisoners stripping them of their habeas corpus rights he was rightly denounced by liberals. Yet when Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that not only institutionalized this process but also expanded its use to US citizens there was little criticism from establishment liberals.
Rumsfeld and Cheney created a top secret killing machine out of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) which travelled around the world assassinating people at will without Congressional oversight or public discussion. Obama embraced and systematized this.
As Scahill observes, the Obama administration inherited from Bush a set of covert and clandestine programs marked by infighting between various agencies, particularly the CIA and JSOC. Obama would bring in Bush-era officials to create a seamless, integrated, and expanded global assassination program.
Obama has dramatically escalated drone strikes around the world; heinously, he also ordered the assassination of US citizens. The US-born radical cleric Anwar al Awlaki was executed without due process in Yemen; a few weeks later his teenage son was also killed in a "signature" strike.
The netwar has also been relentless. When the Bush administration announced the Total Information Awareness (TIA) program of intrusive data gathering and mining, it was rightly denounced as big brother. As the ongoing NSA leaks show, under Obama a program of even greater width and depth is now a reality.
The Obama administration has escalated cyberwarfare using militarized computer viruses to attack computers in Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities. Journalist Nick Turse notes that while these efforts were begun under Bush, "President Obama. . .became the first American commander-in-chief to order sustained cyberattacks designed to cripple another country's infrastructure."[i]
This reconfiguration of empire has been largely kept under wraps in order to maintain Obama's liberal posture. It is therefore not surprising that he has prosecuted whistleblowers at a rate higher than all previous US presidents combined.
Additionally, as McClatchy newspapers revealed, federal employees will be asked to spy on each other and tattle when they identify a potential leaker. Known as the "Insider Threat" program, this will apply not only to security establishment workers but also those in the Department of Agriculture, EPA, Social Security Administration and other agencies.
For Obama secrecy is vital since his entire presidency has rested on saying one thing and doing another; on liberal rhetoric and imperial actions. At root, his foreign policy still relies on the narrative of "keeping Americans safe" from the menacing "Islamic terrorist threat."
Liberal Islamophobia
In contrast to the visibly bigoted language of the right, the Obama era saw a shift to a more subtle anti-Muslim vocabulary. As Arun Kundnani, Hamid Dabashi and others have shown, liberal racism is central to empire. This analysis, however, has been critiqued.
Matt Duss, one of the authors of the important Fear Inc. study that exposed the machinations of the Islamophobia industry, in an otherwise sympathetic review of my book, takes issue with my definition of liberal Islamophobia.
Duss argues that the "problem with defining Islamophobia as broadly as Kumar does is that it threatens to divest the term of meaning." I disagree. If we don't explain the various forms and shapes that anti-Muslim prejudice takes, and offer a nuanced and comprehensive analysis, we run the risk of seeing it as only a rightwing phenomenon. Thus, while Fear Inc. remains a useful guide to rightwing Islamophobia, it unfortunately stops short of critiquing liberals and Democrats.
Meredith Tax similarly argues that my definition is too broad. Tax, however, is more interested in convincing liberals that the very term "Islamophobia" is so "confusing" that it is best rejected because it echoes the views of Islamists. This is a deeply problematic proposition yet one that we might expect from Tax and her group Center for Secular Space, which, as Saadia Toor shows, offers a liberal cover for imperialism.
Tax takes issue with my Nation article, which demonstrates how both political parties have demonized Muslims. She states that my definition of liberal Islamophobia is so broad that it can be used to "cover every imaginable form of US interaction with Muslims." Tax needs to work on her imagination and try to expand it beyond the twin parties of empire.
As the great historian Richard Hofstradter teachers us The American Political Tradition there are very few substantive differences between the main political parties. While they "differ, sometimes bitterly, over current issues. . .they also share a general framework of ideas."[ii] This "range of ideas. . .is limited by the climate of opinion that sustains their culture."[iii]
We are part of creating this "climate of opinion." When Woodward and Bernstein broke Watergate they did so after a period of massive social upheaval where the civil rights, women's rights, gay rights and anti-war movements had decisively shifted the culture of American politics to the left.
Frank Church, who headed a committee to study government excesses, warned of the dangers of NSA surveillance stating that it could "make tyranny total in America." On the FBI's COINTELPRO used to spy on 1960s activists including the pacifist Martin Luther King, the Church report stated that Deepa Kumar is an associate professor of Media Studies and Middle East studies at Rutgers University. She is the author of Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire (2012). An earlier version of this article was published by al Jazeera.

Yeah... SOrry about that. I didn't really explain global vs. local.

I think when you do local colormap, it gives you what it can, or a
'best fit' color, if there's no more room to alloc. colors.

This salad need a different dressing. Oil and Soy sauce are not that good on it.
I use sesame oil, minced garlic in oil instead of powder, and also add green onions and cashews. Yummy!
I think using sesame oil instead of vegetable oil would be much more tasty. I would probably also add some toasted sesame seeds. Canned mandarin oranges would probably be great, too. Just some...

Known for his wide-ranging voice, over-the-top energy and totally theatrical performances, Meat Loaf's rockin' the Park this August with his one-of-a-kind concert style that's going to bring the place down.

text: Anybody else feel that this stable would have been so much better with somebody like McGillicuty instead of Slater. Then you'd have had three "badass" dudes who could perhaps become mercenaries for guys like Heyman, Del Rio and Vickie. With Slater they just seem like a bit of a joke, and I don't want a heel stable to be a joke. With McGillicuty they'd have been kind of intimidating together, right now they just don't work together.

What's so good?
By Chad L.A. Roberts | Jul 15, 2013 | Total plays: 3,146
"Stand Your Ground" is a rock and soul track fizzling with sensible lyrics. The type of bars that discombobulate your body because you're body is vibin' to the beat, but your mind is attentive to the substance.
"Stand Your Ground" lyrics:
I am just one man but I know my power
It's the final call were in the final hour
And we must not divide as we march toward our future
Who are they to decide when they conspire to shoot yah,
Ahh, that could've been my mother, ohh, that could've been my brother
As sure as we rotate the sun and the earth revolves, get involved 3x
Stand your ground
They'll say I've lost my mind claim that I'm psychotic
He's a fucking traitor he's unpatriotic
But I learned in life truth it must be slated
And I know my rights they're un-alienated Descendent of the blood of slaves
Used to be the one afraid
Until I learned my souls divine amalgamate lets combine unify get in line and
Stand your ground
