In response to the increasing influx of migrants crossing the border into the U.S., a group of protestors blocked three buses filled with migrant women and children from entering the local Murrieta Border Patrol facility. The protests have continued for weeks, and the buses – which came to Murrieta in order to relieve overcrowded facilities in south Texas - are now being rerouted to San Ysidro.
These anti-immigrant protestors are using some of the oldest – and worst – stereotypes in the white supremacist, misogynistic handbook to attack people who even the UN has recognized as refugees fleeing violence. The chants and signs coming out of Murrieta range from sexist to xenophobic to violent.
Try this sign which pulls from the old favorite stereotype of Latinas-as-hyper-breeders: "Send them back with birth control," says one sign.

Others manage to misuse the term "rape," demonstrate their ignorance about who actually pays taxes – undocumented immigrant do too! – and construe refugees fleeing violence as the "real" villains here: "Free loading illegals are raping U.S. tax payers."
The bigotry did not stop there. Protesters threatened women journalists on the scene, and interrupted pro-migrant vigils yelling "We speak English here!" In other cases, arguments between the two sides became so heated that there was spit involved.
Some are trying to argue that these protests have nothing to do with identity. But the reality is that gender, race, and global power dynamics play a huge role in who is forced to migrate and who is considered "illegal" if they manage to make it here. Most of the child migrants crossing the Border today are fleeing a war that the U.S. created – that is gang violence started in the U.S. and fueled by U.S. drug consumption. Those Latinxs who do make it across the border are then marked as "illegal," less than human and therefore undeserving of the protections of the state.
In response to these conflicts, the U.S.-Mexico Border and huge swaths of Northern Mexico have been completely militarized, exacerbating violence against women and making it ever more difficult for women to survive in such unsafe and unstable environments. Because of this violence, women now make up half of the migrants who come to the U.S. And this year girls composed 40% – an unprecedentedly high percentage — of all child migrants who arrived in the U.S.
The journey north is dangerous for anyone: only the lucky ones avoid violence at the hands of drug cartels and local police forces. But it is particularly hard for women and girls. The chances of a woman being raped on her journey up are so high that many women preemptively take birth control before leaving.
Meanwhile, the Murrieta protests are inspiring others across the country to respond. Copycat protests have sprung up in Illinois and Arizona while Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced that his city will help to house detained migrant children and work to reunify them with their families.
President Obama is currently waiting on Congress to do the right thing (don't hold your breath, dude) and approve his request for $3.7 billion in emergency funds to address the crisis. However, Murrieta residents better get used to those buses because our country is doing nothing to actually end the war it has created, the war these women and children are seeking refuge from.
Juliana can't stomach white people standing on what was once Mexico and yelling "Go home illegals!"

Unless a CH cat has other health issues, their life expectancy is the same as a cat's without CH. Since the condition is non-progressive, it will never get worse — and in some cases, owners say that their cats become more capable over time.

For Walking Dead fans and readers of this blog, you probably know why I was all excited about some of the plot elements that have been included thus far this season: possible zoonotic disease, and in particular, a potential influenza outbreak that may have originated in pigs. I muse about this and other infections in an article for Slate.com, and will have additional thoughts about zombies and infectious disease more generally in the coming days.

The BBC World Service just broadcast an amazing radio documentary on the experience of isolation – talking to people who have experienced intense remoteness from other humans including polar base residents, astronauts, prisoners and people who completed the Mars-500 simulated mission.
Firstly, it's just beautiful. If there's such a thing as an ambient documentary, this comes sublimely close to achieving it at times.
But the programme is also a fascinating look at the subjective psychology of separation.
A doctor explains how it feels to see the last plane leaving an Antarctic research base for nine months of separation from the rest of the world.
A British drug smuggler explains what it was like to be sent to an Argentine prison when he spoke no Spanish – unable to communicate with anyone.
Astronaut Al Worden has been the most isolated human in history, during his time on a Apollo mission, and explains the experience of ultimate remoteness.
The programme reminded me of another form of modern isolation the 21st century hermits who hide themselves away due to fear of the effects of modern technology – like the mythical 'health damaging effects of WiFi'.
An article in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine made the comparison between these modern day hermits with their ancient brethren.
The World Service documentary is wonderful, however. As is normal with the internet-impaired BBC Radio pages, you have to get the podcast from a completely different page but you're probably better off downloading the mp3 directly.

"The sea monsters on medieval and Renaissance maps are one of the most visually engaging elements, and yet they have never before been carefully studied. The subject is important not only in the history of cartography, art, and zoological illustration, but also in the history of the geography of the marvellous and of Western conceptions of the ocean. Moreover, the sea monsters depicted on maps can supply important insights into the sources, influences, and methods of the cartographers who drew or painted them."
{Book jacket liner notes 2013 ©The British Library}
"This symbolic political image is very different from the scientific legends about sea monsters on Waldseemüller's 1507 map, and in fact represents a complete and striking repurposing of sea monsters on maps: instead of indicating the dangers to human navigation on the sea, the monster is part of an image that expresses control over the sea."
"The most important and influential sea monsters on a Renaissance map are those on a nine-sheet map of northwestern Europe by Olaus Magnus (1490-1557) titled 'Carta marina et descriptio septemtrionalium terrarum ac mirabilium' (Nautical Chart and Description of the Northern Lands and Wonders), which was published in Venice in 1539, and survives in just two copies, one at the Bavarian State Library and the other at the Uppsala University Library in Sweden.
The map [..] contains a wonderful number and variety of sea monsters, many of which are helpfully identified with names; the Latin text on the map provides more information about them, and there are also detailed descriptions of the monsters in [..] Olaus's 'History of the Northern Peoples'. [..] The sea monsters on his 1539 map reflect an intriguing mixture of invention and information from books. [..]
There are several images of whales on the map, which are illustrated with large tusks and twin tubes on the tops of their heads through which they spout; this fanciful style of depicting whales would prove very influential. [..]
His map is also noteworthy for the distinctive visual style of its sea monsters, a style thoroughly of the Renaissance, and very different from the medieval images of sea monsters - more dynamic and also more whimsical.
Luigi de Anna has suggested that the sea monsters on the map were intended not only to excite the curiosity of the viewer, but also to dissuade fishermen from other countries from entering Scandinavian waters. If this intriguing suggestion is correct, the sea monsters on the map have an innovative economic function not shared by those on other maps."
"A ship landing on a whale mistaken for an island in an early thirteeth century bestiary (London, British Library, Harley MS 4751, f. 69r, c. 1230-1240).""In the Indian Ocean there are whales which are so large that they seem to be islands. And sometimes because of the soil they have on them plants grow on their backs. Men crossing the sea sometimes land on these whales, which, when they feel the movement of men on them, hurry down into the depths, and so the men are drowned."
{Translation - by Chet Van Duzer (our modern sea monster book author) - of a Latin quote from a lost Medieval chart whose legends are preserved in a 15th century manuscript in Genoa: Biblioteca Universitaria MS B. 1. 36.}
"The myth that whales could be mistaken for islands goes back to the 'Physiologus', an anonymous book about animals, plants and magic stones composed sometimes between the second and fourth centuries, and appears in medieval bestiaries."
"[T]he ceiling, though not a map in the modern sense of the word, is [..] {like} an image of the world as a stage for the playing out of a Christian history. The ocean surrounding the earth in the ceiling at Zillis abounds with sea monsters, including sirens and many hybrid creatures such as wolf-fish, goat-fish, rooster-fish, stag-fish, lion-fish, horse-fish, elephant-fish, and so on, which reflect the medieval theory [..] that every land creature had its equivalent in the sea. Here the sea monsters certainly indicate that the edges of the world are full of exotic wonders and dangers [..] {like some other ~contemporary mappa mundi manuscripts, but} [t]he monsters on the ceiling in Zillis may also allude to the diversity and fullness of God's creation."
"The book 'Novus orbis..' (The New World of Regions and Islands Unknown tot he Ancients) [..] 1532, is an important collection of travel literature, including accounts of the voyages of Columbus, Vicente Yáñez Pinzón, Amerigo Vespucci, Marco Polo, Ludovico di Varthema, and others.
The Basel edition includes a world map title 'Typus cosmographicus universalis' made by the cartographer Sebastian Münster (1488-1552) and the artist and engraver Hans Holbein the Younger (1498-1543). The borders of the map have images of cannibals, exotic animals, and spices; within the map itself there is a pair of stylized dolphins in the Southern Ocean off the eastern coast of Asia - the traditional location of sirens on maps.
These creatures exemplify a new Renaissance imagery of sea monsters [..] but the dolphins on Sebastian Münster's map are different. They were inspired by classical images of dolphins, and show no resemblance to medieval images of these animals. They are rendered with shading to indicate their three-dimensionality, and are shown in motion, making waves in the water. [..] The visual dynamism [..] and the use of classical sources are typical of Renaissance art, and these monsters mark a new stage in the development of sea monsters on maps."
"The mappa mundi in the 'Gerona Beatus' stems from the one now missing from the Tábara codex. Its general characteristics are its rectangular shape, the representation of Adam and Eve instead of the four rivers of Paradise, and likewise the location of Paradise at the top of the maps, the appearance of the two possible courses of the Nile, a figuration of the Jordan, the representation of the Danube with many tributaries, the mention of the names of Cappadocia, Mesopotamia and the Arabia Gulf; a legend referring to the land of the Amazons and the new wording of legend about the fourth transequatorial continent."
"The map in the 'San Andrés de Arroyo Beatus' [..] is circular as opposed to the rounded rectangles of the Gerona and Manchester maps. It is artistically more sophisticated than the two other maps, with many images of cities, and the mountains as imaginatively depicted as piles of rocks; and it has a dramatic colour palette different from those of the other Beatus maps: the earth is burgundy, and there are stripes of white in the water. [..]
[W]e are no doubt to understand that they {the sirens} are singing seductive songs to the sailors on the ships as the sirens did to Odysseus in 'The Odyssey' - and as sirens are said to do in medieval bestiaries."
"{This} small manuscript [..] contains a miscellany of theological, exegetical, devotional and eschatological texts. [..]
{One section}, [t]he zonal mappamundi, presents a striking vision of the circular disk of the earth (divided into climatic zones) [..] surrounded by an enormous serpentine monster which is devouring its own tail (known as uroborus {or ouroborus}, from the Greek for 'tail-eater'), and beyond the uroborus in the ocean there are four hybrid sea monsters with human heads and piscine bodies and tails - {two have terrestrial origins or features, two have aquatic origins or features}.
Outside the circle of the ocean there are demonic personifications of the four rivers of Paradise, each of whom pours water from an urn that flows into the circumfluent ocean. The four sea monsters in the ocean are mermen or male sirens with very long noses."
"{The Ptolemy manuscript} in Madrid contains a truly remarkable number and variety of sea monsters - in fact the richest collection of of sea monsters in any one manuscript. [..] There are a total of 476 sea creatures on these maps; of these, 411 are generic sea serpents, lampreys, fish, flounders and crabs. If we subtract the generic creatures, this leaves an impressive 65 more or less exotic creatures. [..]
The folios {including the above image} with the highest concentrations of exotic creatures were apparently so decorated simply because they contained large expanses of open water and because the artist felt inspired, rather than because he had read reports of exotic creatures in those areas."{The whole of this 1450s Madrid Ptolemy manuscript is available to view in-browser as a .pdf -- search on *Ptolomeo* at Biblioteca Digital Hispánica}
"The map supplies no geographical details about the earth, but instead presents it as a stage for the playing out of Christian history, as some other mappemundi do: specifically, it is an illustration of the part of hte Apocalyptic drama described in Revelation 7:1-8. It shows the 'four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor any tree', and an angel comes from the east carrying the seal of God gather in the centre of the map. The earth is labelled terra, and the circumfluent ocean mare; there are several large fish in the ocean and at the left hand side of the map, that is, in the north, there are two sea monsters."
"Religion and entertainment could merge in medieval saints lives. One of the best examples is the story of the voyage of an Irish saint, Brendan, who visits a series of islands with nearly surreal inhabitants and fauna. His journey is a kind of imaginative and even humourous reflection of the life and prayer of a monk. In the 12th century, the bride of King Henry I, Aeliz of Louvain, asked a monk named Benedeit to write a poem of the voyage of St Brendan in Anglo-Norman French. This manuscript has a copy of Benedeit's poem followed by a 'Voyage of Brendan' in Latin prose.
The Latin 'Voyage of St Brendan' is a separate work, not a translation of the French poem. In the middle ages, this manuscript belonged to the priory of Durham cathedral--this is known from an inscription in a part of the manuscript that is now bound in another volume. Monks and canons enjoyed saints' lives as much as anyone else, and they had to read them as part of their daily devotions." {link}
As the leaves turn from green to fall colors, the air turns from warm to crisp, and the night sky turns from bright until late to dark pretty early, it's important to remember that it is still very nice outside and that you should go outside! QUICK, BEFORE WINTER COMES! Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen went to CONEY ISLAND today and had a HOT DOG, for goodness' sake. Though, the fact that Sir McKellen has a sweater on and Sr Stewart has a sleeveless t-shirt on makes it is a little hard to judge the appropriateness of the summer afternoon they enjoyed. What was the temp, guys? Next time you tweet, how about tweeting the temp so we know which one of you was right about your clothing choice. C'mon, dudes, that's just basic Twitter stuff. It looks like they're having a wonderful day, though. A wonderful Hat Day. How's your day? Also wonderful? Mine has been fine, thank you for asking! (Via PatrickStewart.)

I like the last one a lot.

this is really sad
Snake-owner here. One reason snakes do this is because they are agitated from getting too hot. Judging by the fact the snake is in the water bowl I would suspect this is the reason. EDIT: Snakes are cold blooded so their metabolic rate is controlled by how they regulate their body temperature, a hot snake has an increased metabolism and would likely feel hungry if it hasn't eaten recently, which could drive this behaviour. Turning off the heat-lamp and spraying them with cool water will cause them to spit themselves out. I hope in this case it was ok :(Another example was posted in 2009. For details about the mythical Ouroboros, see my 2008 post.
Gardener David Latimer, 80, from Cranleigh in Surrey, first planted his bottle garden in 1960 and finally sealed it tightly shut 12 years later - yet it's still going strong...I tried to do this many years ago and failed miserably. Some details on the methodology at the link, via Nag on the Lake
It absorbs solar energy from daylight, water from the moisture it creates, carbon dioxide and nutrients from the composted leaves that it drops and produces oxygen in the cycle...
After he sealed the 10 gallon bottle with a bung three of the species faded and died, but the fourth flourished and continues to grow... The retired electrical engineer has only watered the plant twice, the last time in 1972 when he oiled the plastic stopper so that it wedged so tightly it hasn't been out since.

Not-so-fast Willie Parker joins Redskins
Give Willie Parker credit. At least he didn't sign someplace where he'd do harm to a starting running back for whom we have high hopes.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Redskins signed Parker to a one-year contract that has a max value of $3.1 million but will presumably will pay him much less than that. For this, Parker will join Clinton Portis and Larry Johnson in the NFL's version of "Golden Girls."
Not that Parker is that old. He doesn't turn 30 until November ...

What does Full Fact do?
Interview a Full Fact expert
The Times today repeats a estimate made by a think-tank in 2009 that there are approximately 85 Sharia "courts", or councils, in the UK.
Here's our take on this figure, and more background on how Sharia – Muslim religious law – operates in this country.
As we in the UK should know, being in the euro and being in the EU aren't the same thing. You can leave the single currency without leaving the EU.
So when people talk about 'Grexit', which do they mean, and is either allowed under EU law? Read our factcheck.
Plans for "English votes for English laws" are on the table this week, with the government saying that it wants to make the law-making process "fair to all parts of the UK".
Are the funding arrangements for different parts of the UK fair, though? Read our analysis here.
It's widely thought that missed GP appointments cost the NHS £160 million a year. But when we looked into this last year the only source for the estimate was seemingly a survey of doctors conducted in 2004.
Today we've been in touch with NHS England again to ask them if they can tell us any more. In the meantime, the £160 million estimate should be treated with caution.

While there are undoubtedly lots of different religious councils and tribunals in the UK dealing with Sharia principles, they aren't courts of law.
The Daily Mail says 14 million patients were forced to wait a week or more last year, according to new figures. But the figures don't say that.
Doubts surround Sunday's referendum in Greece - not least the constitutionality of the exercise, which a court will rule on after it's been held.
It's very unlikely that being caught urinating in public will get you charged with a sexual offence, like exposure, that puts you on the police register.
We've factchecked claims from Prime Minister's Questions on poverty, inequality, airport expansion and defence spending.
EU members can leave the Union voluntarily, but there's no legal mechanism for a country to drop or be ejected from the euro. Grexit may well happen anyway.
Today's Airport Commission report accidentally suggested Gatwick had more short-haul flights than Heathrow. We're on the case.
Much of the press says that half of households get more in 'benefits' than they pay in tax. But 'benefits' here includes things like visiting your GP.
Restrictions on 'freedom of panorama' - reproducing images of public buildings and art - have been proposed in an EU committee, but are a long way from law.
The government has been criticised by shadow health minister Liz Kendall for not meeting a promise on GP opening hours.
We asked our Facebook followers for suggestions for a factcheck, and this was the lucky winner. What's happened to the minimum wage since it was introduced?
187 Syrian refugees entered the UK through a government programme. 4-5,000 Syrian refugees arrived in the UK since the crisis started. Which is correct?
Former chancellor has urged the government to cut the top income tax rate to 45p. We've had a look at how high-earners fared last time it was cut.
Relative poverty, absolute poverty and how pensioners, children and the rest of us are faring.
At PMQs Harriet Harman and others grilled the Prime Minister on issues from child benefits, cancer diagnosis, and school policy.
George Osborne says the government legislated for £21 billion in welfare savings over the last parliament. What actually happened to spending?
There's uncertainty around estimates of how many deaths could be prevented by earlier diagnosis of cancer
David Cameron says the government's troubled families programme saved £1.2 billion. But we don't know what the effect of the programme actually was.
The Independent and the Mirror have reported very different figures on the number of nurses who'll be affected by recent visa changes.
The £220 billion welfare budget includes pension costs, which aren't going to be cut.
The NHS has missed one of its 18 week waiting time targets in 10 of the last 12 months - what's behind worsening performance on this measure?
The UK population is ageing, and this is putting considerable pressure on public finances.
What would trade between Britain and the EU look like if we left?
We've checked PMQs claims on welfare spending, house building, record wage growth, rapes reported in London and women living in refuge

Welcome Letter
Hello Region II Family!
My name is Marcus Jordan and, as the Fall Regional Conference Planning Chairperson
, it is my honor to cordially invite you to this year's Fall Regional Conference (FRC). This year's conference, themed Innovation & Excellence: Reimagining Your Future, will be in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, November 14th to 16th at the DoubleTree by Hilton – Green Tree.
The focus of this conference is #IAMTHEMISSION. We belong to a Society that is founded upon the tenants of excelling academically, succeeding professionally, and positively impacting the community. However, sometimes we fail to realize how the mission applies directly to us and the pivotal role we play in achieving that mission. That is why this year your Region II Executive Board is planning to help every attendee recognize their role in fulfilling the mission, and understand how to live the mission every day, so that they can truly exceed their own expectations and cultivate change in the world.

Here are your Ontario Hockey League's draft eligible three stars for the week ending December 1, 2013.
1st Star - Nikita Serebryakov – Saginaw Spirit: The Spirit goaltender posted a 1.48 goals against average and .953 save percentage in just over 8 periods of play. He stopped 43 of 45 shots and earned the win as the Spirit defeated the Windsor Spitfires 6-2 on Wednesday evening. He got the start Friday at home versus Sarnia and stopped 31 of 33 shots he faced but went down in overtime 2-1. He didn't start at home against Oshawa but came in in relief at the start of the second period and stopped all 7 shots he faced. He was named the games second star versus Windsor and third star against Sarnia.
2nd Star – Spencer Watson – Kingston Frontenacs: Watson finished the week with four goals and two assists in three games for the Frontenacs. It began Friday night when Watson had a lone assist in a 3-0 win over the Peterborough Petes. That was followed by a 6-4 victory over the Belleville Bulls in which Watson was named the game's first star after scoring 3 goals and adding an assist. On Sunday Watson scored the game winning goal in a 2-1 victory over the Oshawa Generals and was once again named the game's first star.
3rd Star – Darby Llewellyn – Kitchener Rangers: Llewellyn notched 5 goals for the Rangers last week. It began Friday after he notched two goals including the game winning overtime goal as Kitchener beat the Owen Sound Attack 4-3. He was named the game's first star. On Saturday, he was once again named the game's first star for scoring three times in a 5-3 upset of the Barrie Colts. He was held of the scoresheet in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the North Bay Battalion.

We here at The Pride of London would like to introduce a brand new daily segment that we like to call Lampard's Links where we share some of the cool/interesting/funny/sad things happening around world football with our awesome readers. Here is is the first edition of Lampard's Links and we look forward to many more!
- Louis van Gaal calls his Manchester United squad "broken" in an interview with The Guardian. Seems like the newly crowned "genius" of world football is making excuses just in case his team falls flat on its face this season. Van Gaal has made some good signings in Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw and the squad should be very good going forward but he still has some serious questions to answer about the defense.
- Ronaldinho and Atletico Mineiro agree to go their separate ways after the midfielder's contract was terminated. Will anyone else take a chance on a talented player who seems not to care so much about football anymore? Rumors are swirling that he will make a big money move to MLS which would be great publicity for the league but Ronaldinho may not care enough about playing in the United States to stay focused and fit.
- Liverpool FC announce signing of Belgian youngster Divock Origi from French club Lille but he will be loaned back to the club for the 2014/15 season. The loan is an interesting move after the move for Loic Remy fell through considering the Reds only have two strikers in Daniel Sturridge and Rickie Lambert. Origi is coming off a fantastic World Cup where he looked like Belgium's best striker in the first few matches ahead of Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku.
Let us know what you think in the comments section below and share any cool links you have from the world of football!

- Release Date: Jan 27, 1989
- Starring: Gene Hackman, Willem Dafoe
- Summary: A fictionalized version of the murders of three civil rights activists on June 21, 1964 in Mississippi. The FBI comes in to solve the case and succeeds only after using unethical and illegal means. (MGM)
- Director: Alan Parker

Score distribution:
Positive: 8 out of 11
Mixed: 1 out of 11
Negative: 2 out of 11
Apart from its pure entertainment value - this is the best American crime movie in years - it is an important statement about a time and a condition that should not be forgotten. The Academy loves to honor prestigious movies in which long-ago crimes are rectified in far-away places. Here is a nominee with the ink still wet on its pages.
A powerful drama about the murder of three civil-rights workers in the South. Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe are FBI men investigating. A legitimate Oscar contender. [6 Jan 1989, p.5D]
Mississippi Burning speeds down the complicated, painful path of civil rights in search of a good thriller. Surprisingly, it finds it
With remarkable performances, aggressive direction and a cracking pace, this is superb cinema, even if the historical accuracy leaves much to be desired.
Though its credibility is undermined by a fanciful ending, Mississippi Burning captures much of the truth in its telling of the impact of a 1964 FBI probe into the murders of three civil rights workers.
Parker recreates the hate-and-fear-filled atmosphere in that small Southern town with broad brush strokes. But in the end, all of his spectacular fires send out a lot more heat than light. [13 Jan 1989, p.E1]
The glorification of the FBI, the obfuscation about Jim Crow laws, and the absurd melodramatics may all have been well-intentioned, but the understanding about the past and the present of racism that emerges is depressingly thin.

As such it works very well; it is a very powerful drama that puts the fight for civil rights to the fore. I must say I found it quite thought provoking, very well made and really well shot. The performances were all excellent with (for me), Gene Hackman standing out; although I thought Willem Dafoe was very good and Brad Dourif was excellent as the loathsome Deputy Pell. I also have to mention a couple of small roles; it was nice to see both Stephen Tobolowsky as Clayton Townley and R. Lee Ermey as Mayor Tilman; I know they didn't have an awful lot to do, but they were both quality. Over all, an interesting drama that kept me interested all the way through a definite 'must' for any cinephile.

Jul 28, 2012Comprised mostly of racial abuse and interrogations, this portrayal of a certain historical event is flawed because it is all jumbledComprised mostly of racial abuse and interrogations, this portrayal of a certain historical event is flawed because it is all jumbled together, thinly veiled as a historical masterpiece. The difficulty of using these racial themes within film is the accuracy that it is shown in order to be of certain historical value. It is one thing that you use an event from history and go slightly off track to improve it, it is another thing that you take an event from history and change it around into a complete mess that disrupts the perhaps flawless construction of history. Of course, this film is of little entertainment value, not because of the violent, horrific aspects, but because of the intensity. It wasn't all doom and gloom in the 1960's, but I suppose you could expect that from something titled 'Mississippi Burning'. At least the ending provided something a little more cheerful, despite the fact many people had been killed in the process.… Collapse

DUBUQUE, Iowa - As she steps closer to her due date, there are certain moments Vanessa and Hayden Lee want to remember.
Vanessa said, Just knowing it's our first baby. I wanted something different and something to remember.
It's also a memorable moment for portrait photographer Dale Stierman. Along the banks of the Mississippi River, he's doing his first maternity portrait shoot using his remote controlled drone.
Stierman said, I think I speak for all photographers. There are times we've all looked at a picture and said, I wish I had a 100 or 200 foot ladder.
Stierman says he's one of the first professional portrait photographers in the world to use a drone for his portraits. The remote controlled camera flies high to capture unique angles.
He sponsored by a company called Drone-fly. That company gave him the drone with hopes their brand recognition would take off.
They want the exposure just like we do, said Stierman.
Exposure, he's getting. Stierman's work appeared in the Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan Magazine and will appear on two network news programs.
Now brides- to- be from all over the country want Dale and his drone. The drone comes with an extra $400 price tag.
Right now we're locked down in New Jersey and New York, said Stierman. But the calls we've had to turn down because we are already booked have been from Houston, Sacramento, Sarasota, L.A.
Stierman's success isn't coming without controversy.
Earlier this year the F.A.A. banned the use of drones for commercial use. A federal judge later ruled to over-turn that, citing first amendment rights.
I always warn the people and let them know we are going to be taking a picture because I don't want to invade anybody's privacy at all, said Stierman.
Stierman says he takes the F-A-A's strict safety regulations very seriously.
Ultimately my couple comes first and the images come second, said Stierman.
He says he has to. He's dealing with some of life's most precious moments.

circumstances make it difficult for DHS to enable or participate effectively in private–public partnerships, and the same types of circumstances will pose problems in building resilience at the community level. The CFR report points to the need to "strengthen the quality and experience of DHS and establish a personnel exchange program with the private sector to help make DHS a more effective partner to the private sector" (Flynn and Prieto, 2006:35). It is also important for community-level collaboration to consider how to familiarize those engaged with the needs and resources of other collaborators and how to build trust among them. There are examples of effective local and regional collaboration led by DHS agencies that could be used as models. For example, the U.S. Coast Guard supports local private–public harbor-safety committees and regional area-security committees that bring together government, private, and nonprofit users of ports and waterways to collaborate on safety and security issues. The Coast Guard and the National Research Council's Transportation Research Board co-sponsor an annual conference for those committees.6
Incomplete and ineffective sharing of information concerning threats and vulnerabilities constitutes a challenge to private–public collaboration. Both government and the private sector have legitimate concerns regarding the sharing of information. The private sector's concerns include the sensitivity of its information, legal limits on information disclosure, advantages that competitors might gain through sharing, and the existence of business-to-business contracts, such as nondisclosure agreements. Private–public information sharing is often perceived as lacking appropriate balance: regulations require businesses to disclose information to government, but government may not reciprocate with information that businesses need (Flynn and Prieto, 2006).
Government agencies are also subject to privacy restrictions, transparency requirements, and security rules. They are required to protect classified information and information considered "sensitive but unclassified" and "for official use only." At the same time, lower-level government entities and entities outside government may require such information for their own preparedness activities but must have security clearances. Those holding the information decide which entities should receive such clearances and how extensive the information dissemination should be. If key data are withheld from communities, it is conceivable that rigorous analysis of infrastructure vulnerabilities may not be possible. This may create doubt about the effectiveness of resilience-focused collaborative efforts among those engaged and the community that could lead to mistrust. Assessment of community vulnerabilities and resources is an early step of collaboration forming suggested by the committee.

This has stirred up quite a reaction. The fan site maggie-gyllenhaal.net has reportedly been swamped by angry firefighters posting messages for her to read.
Maggie Gyllenhaal Tackles 9/11 Policies
Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal Says U.S. 'Responsible in Some Way' for Sept. 11 Attacks
The Associated Press
Apr. 26, 2005 - Maggie Gyllenhaal has waded into sensitive political waters by raising questions about Sept. 11 and American foreign policy.
The 27-year-old actress, who stars in a new film about the 2001 terror attacks on the World Trade Center, said in an interview last week that the United States "is responsible in some way" for the attacks.
A fan Web site devoted to Gyllenhaal was overwhelmed with criticism, forcing the site's editor to remove the ability to post messages "because it's gotten too outta hand."
In a statement issued Monday by her publicist, Gyllenhaal said Sept. 11 was "an occasion to be brave enough to ask some serious questions about America's role in the world. Because it is always useful as individuals or nations to ask how we may have knowingly or unknowingly contributed to this conflict.
"Not to have the courage to ask these questions of ourselves is to betray the victims of 9/11."
She also expressed her grief for "everyone who suffered and everyone who died in the catastrophe."
Gyllenhall stars in "The Great New Wonderful," which features stories about people living in New York in the aftermath of the terror attacks. The movie is being shown at the Tribeca Film Festival, which was founded by Robert De Niro to help revitalize downtown Manhattan after Sept. 11.
Her screen credits also include "Secretary," "Mona Lisa Smile" and "Donnie Darko." She is the older sister of actor Jake Gyllenhaal. She lives in Manhattan.

Has anyone ever believed anything different?. I respect and like Marquez, but he has to fight Pacquiao to get the top money. JMM didn't get to where he is today by being a fool.

Atleast Marquez was willing to take the random testing, Pac is still reluctant to do soPosted April 3, 2013 10:56 pm
Manny Pacquiao will destroy JMM (AKA Ped Puncher) if Marquez stopss running away so fast. Interesting how he just knocked out Manny and can make triple $ that he's ever made, but wants nopart of the Legend that is Manny Pacquiao. It's not money, fame or anything else. Simply put, he's scared to lose to Manny because everyone will then know it was a FLUKE Ped Punch that beat him. Obviously, watching all 4 fights, Manny is more skilled, talented, athletic and powerful. And Marquez knows that. There's no other reason for him to run. Boxing without Manny Pacquiao is boring. Marquez, Bradley, Mayweather, Martinez and the rest of todays boxers are boring. Manny Pacquiao brings the entire world to see his fights. The sun even brightens up a bit more when he fights. We all love watching Manny fight. I don't understand why so many people take pleasure in watching him lose. Manny will redeem himself for all those that appreciate and respect hi boxing talent. I have thought about boxers and the history of boxing for awhile now, and I have concluded that Manny Pacquiao is the greatest fighter ever. better than Ali, Robinson, Chavez Sr, Louis, Roy Jones and all past fighters since the beginning of boxing. We should be appreciative of seeing this good amn display his skills in the ring. he's the only 8 division boxing champion. And that will never happen again. And his bible study sessions are growing. Amazing.Posted April 3, 2013 9:34 pm

Btw, IV was billed as the bout to "answer all the questions and remove all doubt", which is precisely what happened. Team Marquez and Pacquiao* predicted a KO win, which their bout delivered. both claimed to have had great training camps ("the best" according to Pacquiao* and Roach) and there were no suspect scorecards, testing results, and perhaps most importantly no additional entries to Pacquaio's* notorious laundry list of post-fight excuses. it's the ideal outcome that EVERYone claimed to want. even those who insisted that IV was unnecessary qualified their objections with what they considered to be the only but very unlikely outcome that would make IV appealing: a Decisive and Convincing outcome. Marquez delivered. the rivalry is OVER. Viva Marquez.Posted April 3, 2013 7:55 pm

im just surprised that a 5th fight is needed. Why? The 4th should have resolved any controversy that might have been left in the past unanswered. IMO, Marquez (should he agree) needs to have all the cards at the negotiation table and decide where plus his cut. In Mexico, would be the ideal place with a large pay in favor for Marquez.Posted April 3, 2013 7:12 pm

i still chuckle in amusement and amazement at a still-prime Pacquiao's* expectation that he would be able to outspeed, outquick, and outpunch a 39-year-old but powerpunching Marquez. first of all, Marquez is accustomed to dealing with featherweight handspeed, which neutralizes Pacquiao's* biggest advantage vs. bigger and slower welters. second, Marquez is simply too smart for the likes of Manny* to outsmart in a boxing ring. Marquez knows that Manny* can't avoid his powerpunches for 12 entire rounds and he also knows that all it takes is for one expertly-timed powerpunch to take the verdict out of the judges' hands altogether. nonetheless, i can't cite a single incentive for Marquez to compromise the decisive"W" he earned over Pacquiao* and anything less would be a compromise. anything more would result in Pacquiao's* death(?!). accordingly, having achieved the "desired result" i can understand Marquez no longer feeling the mission-like motivation that enabled him to corner and pummel Pacquiao* in the past. if it comes down to money, $3 million guaranteed for Pacquiao* and the rest of the proceeds from a PPV event at a sold-out Estadio Azteca for Marquez is the only situaton for which i can imagine Marquez considering a 5th bout. besides, Marquez and Marquez alone is responsible for a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th bout ever happening. it's time for Pacquiao* to demonstrate his own determination to face Marquez. a zeal and determination that Pacquiao* has never demonstrated throughout their entire rivalry.Posted April 3, 2013 4:07 pm

The fifth fight will be as good as the first 4. I'm sure both fighters are willing to do it again and they will make loads of money. They are fan friendly fighters that brings together a terrific clash of styles. I really have no problem with it. All they have done so far is prove that they are pretty much equals, and I'm sure this fight will just solidify that even more. I have to admit, though, I never saw a KO like that coming out of these matches. Man, that punch has to be in the running for KO of the century!Posted April 3, 2013 3:28 pm

voran67's recommendation
I was looking for a baby carrier that would work for a friend of mine who has an autistic child and needed a way to carry her. She's older than the recommended age, but also smaller. The Patapum Todder Carrier holds up to 62lbs. so we gave it a try. It worked great! Sometimes you just need to be able to carry disabled children through crowds, so this carrier works great and is well made. While I was shopping for BornFree sippy cups at The Soft Landing baby store, I noticed that they mentioned the Patapum Carrier as an option for carrying older, but smaller disabled children. Cool!

FEC seeks $140K fine from Craig in bathroom case
The FEC rebuts what it says would likely be one of the three-term senator's arguments against paying a fine: that he doesn't have enough money.
In his 52-page filing this week, Hancock describes a list of assets owned by Craig and his wife, Suzanne, valued at nearly $1.4 million that might be used to help satisfy a judgment against him: a yacht he bought in 2003, a 5,000-square-foot home on 2 acres, savings and retirement accounts, cash, and numerous vehicles.
"Craig cannot demonstrate that he is unable to disgorge the converted funds or pay a civil penalty," the FEC wrote.

Learn more about Nintendo DS Game Chamber Case (Silver) - Game Loss Prevention!:
|Are your Nintendo DS games getting lost or damaged? When video games are costing $20 - $60 each, owning a Game Chamber is no longer a luxury, it's become a necessity! Are your video games ending up on the living room floor, under sofa cushions, behind car seats, or being left at friend's homes only to disappear with no one having any idea where the games are?
How does The Game Chamber Work? Simply put, The Game Chamber is a first-of-its-kind device that prevents children from losing or damaging their video games because they have to put the game cartridge or CD/DVD they are playing with away if they want to play with another.
It has a rotating wheel that locks each game in place until whatever game the child has is put back into the chamber. At that point, the child can rotate the wheel to select another game. All games are labeled so that it is easy to find the next game. Another unique thing about it is that kids can visit the interactive Game Chamber at www.gamechamber.com to change the names, look and feel of their labels whenever they want.
Customer Reviews of Nintendo DS Game Chamber Case (Silver) - Game Loss Prevention!
Great product5/27/2012
This game case is a great idea! You have to put one game back before you can get another one out. It helps my son to not misplace games! The only problem i have with it is that it is kind of hard for my son to turn sometimes, and the door that holds the games in seems like it might break easily. Great deal!
Great product that saves me lots of money. No more lost games.

Numbers and financial data drives today's business world and Excel 2007: Financial Analysis can help decode this information. The proper understanding of these numbers, and the formulas behind them, can be the gateway to corporate and personal success. Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) Curt Frye teaches basic fluency in corporate finance, enabling users to see the meaning behind essential financial calculations. Curt explains how to review formulas to ensure they have the proper inputs, and shows how to interpret formula output. He also covers how to calculate leverage ratios and amortization and depreciation schedules, as well as forecast future growth. Exercise files accompany this course.
In this lesson, I'll discuss how to calculate return on equity and return on assets, two important ratios when you're considering the financial health of a company. A publicly traded company has one goal: to maximize a shareholder value. The bottom line measure of a firm shareholder value is its equity, which is Total Assets minus Total Liabilities. Comparing the relationship between a company's earnings to its equity provides a clear picture of the company's ability to generate returns for its stockholders. You divide the company's net income, which is its income after taxes by its shareholder's equity.
So here in the worksheet, I have two entries, one is the Net Income After Taxes and the other is the Shareholder's Equity. So to divide the two, type equal to start the formula and we have Net Income After Taxes in cell B5, divide that by Shareholder's Equity in B6 and press Enter and there you have your ratio of 0.11 for the return on equity. You can compare this result to other companies in which you're considering investing, so you can determine which company has provided a better result for its shareholders. And just as a general basis for comparison, most firms in the S&P 500 generate ROE ratios of between 10% and 15%.
You should also take into consideration a firm's Return on Assets. Companies need to make sure that their infrastructure, which includes their office buildings, computers and manufacturing systems, are of high enough quality to support the company's activities. It's important that companies not spend too much on their assets, as doing so cuts into profitability, but they should spend enough to ensure their infrastructure supports the operations. One measure you can use to determine how efficiently a company spends its money on assets is by calculating the Return on Assets ratio. To calculate the Return on Assets ratio, you divide a company's earnings before interest and taxes by the company's total assets.
So here we have those two values, the Earnings Before Income and Taxes and the Total Assets. So I'll divide earnings, B5/B6 and you have a ratio of 0.04. Comparing a company's Return on Assets ratio to those of other firms in the sector help you determine how efficiently the company employs its assets. Reductions in a company's Return on Assets ratio could indicate either economic opalescence, such as when a company's manufacturing system falls behind the technology curve or it could mean that the company just invested a significant amount of money in the new system and has yet to reap the benefits of the new technology.
As always, be sure to read a company's public filings to help you interpret the numbers included in those documents. You should compare a company's Return on Equity and Return on Assets ratios to determine how the company pays for its operations. When a company's Return on Equity is higher than its Return on Assets, it's usually an indication that the company finances its operations through sales of stock instead of taking on debt. If Return on Assets is higher than Return on Equity, then the opposite is true.

The researchers have published their results in the journal Stroke.
Creating a translator for stroke recovery
In their study, Krebs and his colleagues explored the robot MIT-Manus as a tool for evaluating patient improvement over time. The robot, developed by the team at MIT's Newman Laboratory for Biomechanics and Human Rehabilitation, has mainly been used as a rehabilitation tool: Patients play a video game by maneuvering the robot's arm, with the robot assisting as needed.
While the robot has mainly been used as a form of physical therapy, Krebs says it can also be employed as a measurement tool. As a patient moves the robot's arm, the robot collects motion data, including the patient's arm speed, movement smoothness, and aim. For the current study, the researchers collected such data from 208 patients who worked with the robot seven days after suffering a stroke, and continued to do so for three months.
The researchers created an artificial neural network map that relates a patient's motion data to a score that correlates with a standard clinical outcome measurement.
The authors then selected a separate group of nearly 3,000 stroke patients who did not use the robot, but who went through standard clinical tests. In particular, the researchers calculated the "effect size" the difference in patient performance from the beginning to the end of a trial, divided by the standard deviation, or variability, of improvement among these patients. To determine whether a drug works, the FDA will often look to a study's effect size.

Bartolo Colon gave up just three hits in seven shutout innings for his 16th career win against Seattle, and the Oakland Athletics won 4-0 on Friday night to ruin the Mariners' home opener. Making his third start already this season against Seattle, Colon (2-1) rebounded from a shaky effort last time out against the Mariners and beat them for the second time in 2012. His first win over Seattle came during the season-opening, two-game series played in Tokyo. Both of Oakland's runs came in the third inning, although Seattle starter Felix Hernandez was wiggling free of trouble most of the night. Cliff Pennington had an RBI double and Coco Crisp an RBI single in the third. Jemile Weeks hit a solo home run with two outs in the top of the ninth, his second homer of the season. Hernandez (1-1) gave up just the two runs in seven innings but got no help from Seattle's offense. It was the first loss for Hernandez against Oakland since September 18, 2008. He had won his previous six decisio...

2008 Nationals: Urban Meets Suburban
Laing Luxury Homes' Icon at Playa Vista received a gold award at the 2008 National Sales and Marketing Awards.
Icon at Playa Vista's Plan 3 might have a narrow lot, but it has an open feel. The second floor is the main living area.
GOLD WINNER: Icon at Playa Vista, Plan 3, Playa Vista, Calif.
Looks can be deceiving: Icon at Playa Vista's well-appointed homes are on a narrow lot, but gold-wining Plan 3 is bright and flexible.
"It's still technically a single-family detached home," says Pete Carmichael, director of sales and marketing at Laing Luxury Homes, "but it isn't like a lot of our big, expansive single-family detached homes in the more suburban areas.
"The main living area is on the second floor," he adds. "It's got two bedrooms up [on the second level] and one bedroom down that can double as an office. So it's a really versatile house where you could have a live/work office downstairs, or the downstairs could live separately for a parent or a boomerang kid after college."
"Plan 3 has been one that has spoken to a lot of our buyers," says Erika Wolter, marketing coordinator for Laing Luxury Homes. "They really like how it lives. The first floor has the office space, and you could even get a second bedroom. It has that great room and dining area, separate from the kitchen, on the second floor. Then you go up [to the third floor] and you have the separation where the master suites are."

Some of my hobbies are surfing, skiing, swimming, dancing (swing and salsa dancing are hobbies), and I am always willing to try new things... I love cars and photography and travel. I think we learn so much when we experience life to the fullest :-) I have so many different interests that if I tried to name them all this would end up being a book. I have lived in several different cities over the years, San Francisco, Atlanta, London, Dallas, Malibu, etc. I have also spent a significant amount of time in the LA/Orange County/Malibu area. I enjoy seeing new places and experiencing new things. I am looking for the right man to eventually settle down with if it things go the right way. I am looking for a very loving romantic man.

I want to be with a man who understands my interests and my love to try new things and is willing to indulge in them. I also want someone who has interests of his own. I think people should have some differences to keep a little spice in the relationship. However, I would love to find a man who I am completely in tune with. I am more than willing to relocate if things work out. I am very close with my family, but with planes it is so easy to get home when you want or need to. If you have a commitment phobia please do not contact me. Also, please do not be separated, I am looking for someone who is really open to a relationship, not hanging on to an old one. If you like the way this sounds, please contact me. **I am currently in Dallas dealing with my father's illness but thankfully we are almost done with all the treatments and my time will be freed up. I am having to travel back and forth right now. So just an FYI as to where I am right now.**
