Milwaukee Rep's 'Clybourne Park' an electrifying production
Because "Clybourne Park" is so good and because it explores issues that aren't going away, it's easy to agree with Mark Clements' prediction - made in his director's notes for the new Milwaukee Repertory Theater production - that Bruce Norris' play is built to last.
It's much harder to imagine watching the inevitable revival, 10 or 20 years from now, without hearkening back to the electrifying performance I saw Friday night, in which Clements' all-star cast gave "Clybourne" the treatment it deserves. »Read Full Article(1)
Matchbox Twenty keeps the customer satisfied
Rob Thomas made a promise early in Matchbox Twenty's Milwaukee set Saturday, to give the audience "the best tonight you could possibly have."
But for a significant portion of the two-hour set at the Riverside Theater, Thomas, his three Matchbox bandmates and two touring musicians didn't appear to live in the moment as much as in the past, specifically back in the late '90s and early aughts when the band's barely impactful but catchy pop rock were a resounding soundtrack of the era. »Read Full Article(6)

Law enforcement divisions that are situated in urban areas often use a much wider variety of the patrol vehicle than what would typically be employed by their more rural counterparts, who are more apt to rely on a fleet that consists almost entirely of roomy 4-door sedans. City police units are much more likely to be seen patrolling on either bicycles or motorcycles, and that means requiring a wider diversity of LED strobe lights to configure these smaller vehicles for duty.
Motorcycle-based police units enjoy all of the speed of larger interceptors, but much more maneuverability. Where a marked police car would need a moderately large array of strobe lights, including a light bar across the top that can span the entire diameter of the cabin, a motorcycle typically only requires four. From the vantage point of a driver that's a few dozen yards ahead, the motorcycle unit will have a much smaller cross-section. In other words, it will appear to be a lot smaller than a patrol car that's following at the same distance, and that leaves less visible area for strobe lights to serve as a meaningful signal to the driver that the offer on the bike would like a word with them.
Typically, this means installing strobe light kits in sets of two on both the front and back of the motorcycle unit. One blue light, and one red light on each end. It's simply a scaled down styling of the standard police lighting pattern. Additional LED strobe lights or markings can, of course, be installed on a by-department basis, but by and large, this is the standard setup that you would see if you were to compare motorcycle units between different cities.
As far as where strobe lights are actually positioned on the bike, it varies. Since motorcycles typically have a lower profile than other, larger types of emergency vehicles, it makes sense that a slightly higher placement would aid with their visibility. Usually, they are in front of, and just slightly lower than the handlebars are fairly common on the front, and on either side of the taillight in the back. Among having other advantages, the ease of converting a civilian motorcycle into a police unit is one of the reasons why it's no surprise that many state departments are adding a higher ratio of them to their patrol ranks.

of Contents
urban landscape has swallowed vast swaths of prime farmland
across North America. Imagine how much more self-reliant
our communities would be if 30 million acres of lawns
were made productive again. Permaculture is a practical
way to apply ecological design principles to food, housing,
and energy systems; making growing fruits, vegetables
and livestock easier and more sustainable.
Permaculture Handbook is a step-by-step, beautifully
illustrated guide to creating resilient and prosperous
households and neighborhoods, complemented by extensive
case studies of three successful farmsteads and market
gardens. This comprehensive manual casts garden farming
as both an economic opportunity and a strategy for living
well with less money.

applying appropriate technologies such as solar and
environmental design, permaculture can:
is about working with the earth and with each other
to repair the damage of industrial overreach and to
enrich the living world that sustains us. The Permaculture
Handbook is the definitive, practical NorthAmerican
guide to this revolutionary practice, and is a must-read
for anyone concerned about creating food security, resilience
and a legacy of abundance rather than depletion.
Resilient Farm and Homestead:
An Innovative Permaculture and Whole Systems Design
by Ben Falk
$40, 205pp., 2013
Resilient Farm and Homestead is a manual for developing
durable, beautiful, and highly functional human habitat
systems fit to handle an age of rapid transition.
Ben Falk is a land designer and site developer whose
permaculture-research farm has drawn national attention.
The site is a terraced paradise on a hillside in Vermont
that would otherwise be overlooked by conventional farmers
as unworthy farmland. Falk's wide array of fruit trees,
rice paddies (relatively unheard of in the Northeast),
ducks, nuts, and earth-inspired buildings is a hopeful
image for the future of regenerative agriculture and
modern homesteading.
Landscaping with a Permaculture Twist is a how-to manual
for the budding gardener and experienced green thumb
alike, full of creative and easy-to-follow designs that
guide you to having your yard and eating it, too. With
the help of more than 200 beautiful color photos and
drawings, permaculture designer and avid grower Michael
Judd takes the reader on a step-by-step process to transform
a sea of grass into a flourishing edible landscape that
pleases the eye as well as the taste buds. With personality
and humor, he translates the complexities of permaculture
design into simple self-build projects, providing full
details on the evolving design process, material identification,
and costs.

Review - PDF)
This book explores social
and inner change for sustainability, charting a history
of the first three decades of permaculture, through
the personal stories of Australian permaculturists.
From permaculture co-originator David Holmgren, to ABC
Gardening Australia presenter Josh Byrne, the authors
span the generations and the continent.
These stories
represent the scope, depth and diversity of Australian
permaculture. They explore some of the influences on
those who have embraced it, record milestones and highlight
recurring themes. The editors' contributions and
afterword by social ecologist Professor Stuart B Hill
frame the stories in terms of transformation of the
inner landscape of our minds and hearts, as the critical
starting point for the outer change that is needed.
Like tough,
resilient pioneer plants with their ability to grow
in barren and hostile ground, social pioneers work courageously
at the edges of accepted norms, bringing new ideas and
opportunities. They build knowledge, experience and
new perspectives – fertile soil for those who

Morag Gamble and afterword by Stuart B. Hill
According to an ICM poll, 77 percent
of UK adults, or about 38 million people, say they walk
for pleasure at least once a month. It is remarkable,
therefore, that no one has written about the landscapes
they're walking through and enjoying . . . until
Patrick Whitefield has spent a lifetime
living and working in the countryside and twenty years
of that taking notes of what he sees, everywhere from
the Isle of Wight to the Scottish Highlands. This book
is the fruit of those years of experience.
How to Read the Landscape, Patrick explains everything
from the details, such as the signs that wild animals
leave as their signatures and the meaning behind the
shapes of different trees, to how whole landscapes,
including woodland, grassland, and moorland, fit together
and function as a whole.
and lakes, roads and paths, hedgerows and field walls
are also explained, as well as the influence of different
rocks, the soil, and the ever-changing climate. There's
even a chapter on the fascinating history of the landscape
and one about natural succession, how the landscape
changes of its own accord when we leave it alone. The
landscape will never look the same again. You will not
only appreciate its beauty, it will also come alive
with a whole new depth of appreciation and understanding
in Systems: A Primer
by Donella Meadows
$20, 2008, 240pp.
Meadows' exposition in this book exhibits a degree
of clarity and simplicity that can only be attained
by one who profoundly and honestly understands the subject
at hand--in this case systems modeling. Many thanks
to Diana Wright for bringing this extra legacy from
Dana to us." —Herman Daly, Professor, School
of Public Policy, University of Maryland at College
I read Thinking in Systems I am reminded of the enormity
of the gap between systemic thinkers and policy makers.
If this book helps narrow the gap, it will be Dana's
greatest contribution." —Lester Brown, founder
and President, Earth Policy Institute
Meadows was one of the smartest people I ever knew,
able to figure out the sensible answer to almost any
problem. This book explains how she thought, and hence
is of immense value to those of us who often wonder
what she'd make of some new problem. A classic."
—Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy
in Systems is required reading for anyone hoping to
run a successful company, community, or country. Learning
how to think in systems is now part of change-agent
literacy. And this is the best book of its kind."

this timely book, the author sets out the vision for
a sustainable planet as well as methods we can all use
to get there. The time has now come to get very serious
about using alternatives and conserving what we already
have, rather than living as if there is an unlimited

Garden 2nd Edition:
A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture
Toby Hemenway
238pp, $30
first book published in the US in a generation to embrace
ecological design of the home landscape, Gaia's Garden
is a snapshot of Permaculture in America at the turn
of the century. Toby Hemenway is a scientist, trained
in genetics, who shares with his readers his rapturous
enjoyment of the garden.
people mistakenly think that ecological gardening—which
involves growing a wide range of edible and other useful
plants—can take place only on a large, multiacre
scale. As Hemenway demonstrates, it's fun and
easy to create a "backyard ecosystem" by
assembling communities of plants that can work cooperatively
and perform a variety of functions, including: Building
and maintaining soil fertility and structure Catching
and conserving water in the landscape Providing habitat
for beneficial insects, birds, and animals Growing an
edible "forest" that yields seasonal fruits,
nuts, and other foods.
revised and updated edition also features a new chapter
on urban permaculture, designed especially for people
in cities and suburbs who have very limited growing
space. Whatever size yard or garden you have to work
with, you can apply basic permaculture principles to
make it more diverse, more natural, more productive,
and more beautiful. Best of all, once it's established,
an ecological garden will reduce or eliminate most of
the backbreaking work that's needed to maintain
the typical lawn and garden.

Mario's Weekend Movie Roundup [VIDEO]
Three new movies hit the big screen this weekend and a couple could be Oscar contenders. Brad Pitt returns as a World War II American tank commander on a desperate mission in 1945 Germany in "Fury
Three new movies hit the big screen this weekend and a couple could be Oscar contenders. Brad Pitt returns as a World War II American tank commander on a desperate mission in 1945 Germany in "Fury
A mixed bag of movies this weekend. Another vampire movie "Dracula Untold" a new twist on an old classic. Robert Downey Jr. is back in a dramatic thriller playing a judge who goes back to his hometown to defend his father over murder charges in "The Judge." and finally, Steve Carell in a comedy family adventure "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day."
Nic Cage is in a new movie that opened today called 'Left Behind.' There's already a movie called 'Left Behind' that starred Kirk Cameron and this movie is probably a lot like that one, only Nic Cage is in it now. 'Left Behind' details the biblical rapture and what it would be like if the rapture happened while Nic Cage was piloting a commercial airliner. If 'Left Behind' was screened for critics, I wasn't invited. So, on Friday morning I paid to see 'Left Behind' in the Kip's Bay area of Manhattan. While watching 'Left Behind,' I kept a running diary. Here's how that all went…
There are three big movies in theaters this weekend. It will be interesting to see if the hyped up movie trailers for the horror flick "Annabelle"pays off. This movie reminds me of another demonic doll "Chuckie" never less all dolls are a little creepy to me
Two new movies in theaters this weekend include a stop-motion animated feature from the producers of 'Paranorman" "The Boxtrolls" about some underground trolls who are being hunted down by an exterminator. The other movie has Denzel Washington portraying a former Black Ops commander forced out of retirement to save a young girl in an intense action thriller "The Equalizer."
Only one movie in theaters this weekend and it's about Elvis, sort of. Well, the guy playing the lead role certainly looks a lot like the King of Rock n' Roll and the story has lots of similarities to the legendary performer. However, you may have to wait awhile as Cinemark Texarkana is temporarily closed due to some major repairs.
It's the official last weekend of the summer season at the box office and there are two new movies to choose from including a crime-action thriller and a scary horror flick. Try not to Labor this holiday weekend, take in a movie and enjoy!
The school season us getting underway and what would the season be like without a new inspiring high school football movie 'When The Game Stands Tall' based on a true story. Also in theaters this weekend another teen movie about life and death 'If I Stay' make sure to bring plenty of tissues
If you like action-packed movies this may be the weekend for you as 'The Expendables 3' hit the theaters. Sylvester Stallone and his band of tough guys face the biggest and most personal threat when a former member turns out to be the bad guy. Also showing an action-comedy about two buddies who impersonate cops at a party 'Let's Be Cops' starring Damon Wayans Jr., Jake Johnson. Finally, a futuristic science fiction thriller starring Jeff Bridges as 'The Giver.'
'Let's Be Cops,' a new movie about two grown men -- played by Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. -- who pretend to be police officers, did not screen early for critics. On a rainy Tuesday night, I paid $14 for a ticket for 'Let's Be Cops' at my local movie theater, to watch the film amongst around 30 other people who thought this would be a satisfactory night of entertainment. While watching I kept a running diary of my experience. Watching 'Let's Be Cops' is a miserable experience. Anyway, here's how that all went…
The summer season may be winding down a bit but theaters are expected to be packed when 'Into The Storm' blows into town. Not since the movie 'Twister' in 1996 has there been a big screen disaster movie about tornados
Another weekend of new movies featuring two new flicks in theaters. The first the latest Marvel Studios expansion of the 'Avengers' universe 'Guardians of the Gallaxy should delight Marvel fans with some very unusual characters

Duel (2004)
|Artist: Allison Moorer
Learn more about Duel:
Song Listing
She made her live debut, singing "A Softer Place to Fall" from the Horse Whisperer soundtrack, on the 1999 Academy Awards telecast. Since then, Allison Moorer, with her gloriously husky voice and brilliantly blunt songwriting, has quickly taken a place alongside such celebrated anti-Nashville stalwarts as Steve Earle, Kelly Willis, The Mavericks, Emmylou Harris, and Lyle Lovett.
|Where Allison Moorer's last studio album was an elegant, sophisticated update on classic southern country soul, her Sugar Hill Records debut The Duel is heedless and blunt, and a little bit rough around the edges. The opening guitar figure on "I Ain't Giving Up On You," for example, isn't exactly studio house-broken. This is intentional.
Allison and her husband/co-producer/songwriting partner Doyle "Butch" Primm and co-producer R.S Field took a new, thoroughly unrehearsed band into the studio and cut eleven songs in a dozen days. Butch even lured Field into picking up his drumsticks for the first time in 18 years. And the rest of the core ensemble--Adam Landry (Stateside, The Sways), John Davis (Superdrag)--are hardly your first-call Nashville session dudes.
But The Duel isn't exactly a rock record. It's simply the newest installment in the series of deeply personal and profoundly beautiful albums Moorer has made. It's a wee bit louder, that's all.
"This is the bravest country album of the year. music-critic.com

|Once upon a time, Allison Moorer was a country artist who sang for a major record label. It might be easy then, to see her switch to Sugar Hill as a back-to-the-basics move, a reconnection with her country roots. Moorer, however, isn't that predictable, and The Duel -- while many things -- isn't country. In fact, the opening cut -- "I Ain't Giving Up on You" -- sounds a lot like classic rock and most of the album follows this course. This is interesting, in that Moorer's a strong writer, and it would've been easy to fall back on a tasteful country-folk production and become a fairly typical singer/songwriter. Instead, Moorer's plucky vocals, along with Adam Landry's electric guitar work and R.S. Field's steady backbeat, turn a song like "Melancholy Polly" into an easy-rolling romp. Another factor that makes the songs on The Duel so effective is that Moorer, besides being good at penning lyrics, is smart enough to write catchy hooks. This means that the listener doesn't have to be into the lyrics of "When Will You Ever Come Down" to enjoy the intriguing chord progressions. Even when country elements enter the picture, like John Davis' steel on "One on the House," one is reminded of Neil Young's Harvest more than country. Moorer seems to have found a comfortable spot to express her artistic whim at her new label, and The Duel is the happy result. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.

Customer Reviews of Duel
Blunt and Beautiful4/14/2004
Although this album is very different from Moorer's last album, I feel that "The Duel" is a real breakout album for her that shows her versatility and true artistry. I feel that is only the exceptionally talented that have the ability to find their own voice and own style in different genres of music, and Moorer falls into this category of the exceptionally talented. This album is a little less country and a little more rock but all Allison Moorer. Her smoky vocals and blunt songwriting blend in perfectly with the gritty roots rock sound (with a hint of twang). Her powerful and complex lyrics back by the rawness of her voice makes for one explosive song after another. My personal favorite is the gut wrenching "Believe You Me". Her voice is so penetrating and the guitar sound in this song is so powerful that it forces you to take the song in with your entire being. Moorer's songwriting is complex and questioning, and what songwriting should be. An incredible album by an incredible artist.

I thought the same thing until I heard from a few guys who know Flores and were Columbia people. They said he's extremely dramatic and would do stuff like this when he thought he'd lose. They also pointed out how well he was able to throw in double legs and nearly turn Rey, but then became disoriented again when Rey escaped. It somewhat makes sense, but I am surprised the ref didnt stop it.
To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.
MY understanding is that the ref CAN stop the match for a medical consultation. He should have kept stopping the match, repeatedly, and calling for the trainers, until the coach, or someone, got the message.
Crying wolf? If Flores had been prone to the dramatics of FAKING disorientation in the past, then perhaps medically forfeiting him may have halted such behavior.
DSCH: a Soviet artist's reply to unjust criticism.
I know this is going to make people mad and I don't want to debate this, but he is a grown man. If he wants to continue, I say let him. He isn't under 18. He is responsible for every single decision he makes off the mat, so why not on it? Just my point of view, please don't berate me with how horrible of a person I am. I just believe people of adult age should be allowed to make their own decisions.
I agree once again that reactions to supposed concussions are out of control, but Flores was obviously beyond any mild bump on the head. I can move better than that after a case of beer. He was on rubber legs street big time. Any boxing match he would have been called technical knock out. This was crazy!
The way I was stumbling I was sure the match was going to be stopped and felt horrible for Flores and the ref who I assume was going to stop the match.
I understand how the ref was extremely reluctant to stop, but Flores coach should have been the one to do this.
It is a super difficult situation to pull your guy off the mat during a semifinal against a guy he just beat, but he was out of it.
Some of us may recall (I do VERY well, as I saw it live and in person) that Flores has a bit of a history with concussions.
I first saw it two years ago (I think that's right) at the national duals in Cedar Falls, when he defaulted out of a match with a concussion. He looked and acted very similar then as to how he did Saturday night.
UNI Panthers...Because it's just right.

Review: Nightcrawler
Jake Gyllenhaal's newest film Nightcrawler isn't about a mutant with dark blue skin who can teleport (sorry fan boys). It's a film about a man's determination to be LA best crime journalist turning into a dangerous (and lucrative) obsession. On the surface, Nightcrawler is pretty straightforward: Lou Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal) is an unemployed man willing […] [Read More]
Review: End of Watch
Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena star as two hotshot LAPD officers in the gritty cop drama End of Watch. Told primarily through the lenses of handheld cameras, Officer Taylor (Gyllenhaal) and Officer Zavala (Pena) patrol the streets of South Central Los Angeles looking for what they call the "three major food groups", drugs, money, and […] [Read More]

Just when you thought there couldn't be anymore outrageous statements by Republicants blaming President Obama for everything, along comes this idiotic rant from a mayor of a town on the outskirts of Memphis:
President Obama is a Muslim because last week when he gave his more troops to Afghanistan speech to the nation, it pre-empted "A Charlie Brown Christmas," which was supposed to air in that time slot.
The mayor was upset that his kids couldn't watch the "Peanuts" holiday special (which will air a few more times before Christmas) and that proves Obama is a Muslim who therefore doesn't believe in Jesus.
Let's see, more troops to Afghanistan or Charlie Brown's Christmas? What matters more to Americans? No contest in Mayor Lump's simple mind.
Here's an idea for a new "Peanuts" cartoon: "It's the Great Bumpkin, Charlie Brown."
You know, Mr. Mayor, Obama probably believes Santa Claus is this fat white guy who thinks he only has to give black kids basketballs for Christmas.
Way to go, lump. Tell your children the president, who is secretly a Muslim, is responsible for taking their freedoms away by not being able to watch Charlie Brown's Christmas.
Good grief.
Years from now that hate will have festered in the tiny brains your children inherited from you, douchebag dad.
Alert: It was the TV network that made that decision not to air the animated special. Not the Muslims or Obama. Oh, wait, TV is all liberals anyway. It's all making sense now.
Ya, if you're a goober.
Hell, you live in the South, so hate is likely part of the school curriculum anyway. It probably replaced study hall.
Imagine the president sitting there in the War Room with his advisors and deciding not only what to say about Afghanistan but when he should give the most important speech of his first year as commander-in-chief.
The conversation probably went like this, if you're thinking like Mayor Lump. Whose last name is —- drum roll, please —- Wiseman:
Obama: OK, guys, I've decided to send more troops to Afghanistan.
Advisor I: Very good, sir. Now when will you give the speech to the nation?
Obama: I've given that almost as much thought as the decision whether to send more troops.
Advisor II: And what did you decide, sir?
Obama: I've been looking at my advance copy of TV Guide, which, as you all know, next to the Koran, is my Bible. And I look forward to the new dramedy "Allah be praised" being picked up next season on NBC. But I digress.
Advisor III: Yes, sir.
Obama: There's a bunch of, yuk, Christmas shows coming up —- why do they start so soon after Thanksgiving? Look, I say I give the speech on the night that infidel Charlie Brown has his archaic Christmas special.
Advisor II: It airs every year anyway, Mr. President.
Obama: I won't let my girls watch it. Anyway, it's on at the same time of night when they face toward Mecca and pray to the Prophet Muhammad.
Advisor III: And I can't stand that "wah-wah, wah-wah, wah-wah-wah-wah" talk in that "Charlie Brown Christmas."
Obama: Besides, it's not like I'm speaking at a time when a network is airing "Christmas with the Osmonds."
Advisor II: I think you're OK bumping Linus reading the Nativity.
Obama: Ya. I'm safe —- everybody believes Cheney is the reincarnation of Scrooge.
Advisor I: Go for it, sir. This one will go right over the Republicans' heads. Even they have got to have more important things to be concerned with. You'd have to be a real nut job to nit-pick at this one.
Obama: Ya. It's not like I'll be dealing with or answering to one of the three wise men.

Review by:
Michelle Birbeck
on Nov. 20, 2012 :
I'm a fan of horror, and this one was almost perfect for me. I loved the concept, the way it was portrayed. There was just the right amount of crazy in the main character to make it not only believable but also make it so that the person wasn't completely off the deep end.
So why was it not a straight five star review? Two things. There was an issue with words and phrases being repeated multiple times, and there was a predicable element to it. For me it was obvious what had happened, and that took some of the surprise away, but at the same time added to the gore factor.
Overall, worth downloading and giving a read.

I tread lightly into conversations about politics here, and it was fascinating to hear the immediate change in tone and passion when we got our guide on the subject. I hadn't heard reference to the "First Revolution" (Mubarek) and "Second Revolution" (Morsi), but that makes perfect sense when stated that way. Western news has covered Egypt more like one continuous, nonstop mess, so it was interesting to hear the way locals frame the changes. Everyone we've talked to seems very pleased with the election of General Sisi and the atmosphere has seemed optimistic everywhere we've been. I'm sure that's greatly oversimplifying things… graffiti here in Luxor that says "anti coup" would seem to make reference to the current administration. For the city of Luxor though, the past few years have been very, very, lean… and it really shows.
The temples we saw today were in Luxor itself. We had a pretty relaxed day, finishing with dinner at a little hole in the wall place with a huge grill out front and (well fed) cats roaming everywhere. I had kebob and kofta again and Martha had a dish called Tajine, which was beef, white beans, and tomatoes in an earthenware pot. Good all around. We enjoyed some tea afterwards at a local café and picked up some Egyptian sweets. Tomorrow we'll be visiting some of the outlying temples.

Galaxy S5 anti-theft features to be preloaded on Verizon and US Cellular
Smartphone and mobile device theft is among the most common crimes in the US and lawmakers want to make it harder for thieves to sell or use smartphones that are stolen. Lawmakers have been pushing carriers to institute so-called smartphone kill switches, but carriers have been hesitant to roll out those features. That is changing on at least two carriers with Verizon and US Cellular announcing that they will offer two new security features on the Samsung Galaxy S5.

Venue: Mahatma Mandir, Gandhinagar, Gujarat
E-Governance has played a key role in embarking the journey to achieve the goal of 'Minimum Government, Maximum Governance'. It has helped the Government to enhance the coverage, increase transparency, improve response to citizens and lower costs; on the other hand has facilitated citizens to have better access, equity & social empowerment.
With the advancement of technology, e-Governance has also expanded its horizons in the form of m-Governance which is fast becoming the preferred mode of availing services by the citizens. The mobile technology has provided a robust platform for sustainable development and inclusive growth of the society as a whole and proven to be an effective media for more connected society. In contemporary times, Social Media is being increasingly used as a medium to engage the citizens with Government in democratic process, social reforms and financial inclusion.
Thus, ICT is going to be the propellant of the growth engine which has the potential to transform India into a knowledge–led economy and society especially when we are fast adopting new paradigms such as Internet of Things, Smart Cities etc. Today, India has emerged as a Global IT knowledge resource empowering the whole world. Spreading digital literacy to rural citizens across the country and generating employment opportunities in all ICT-enabled industries will be the next major leap to transform young India into a Digitally Empowered Society and a knowledge economy.
Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances (DARPG), Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Government of India and Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY), Ministry of Communications & Information Technology, Government of India have been jointly organizing the National Conference on eGovernance every year in partnership with one State Government since 1997. This year Gujarat has been selected as the Partner State to host the 18th Edition of this Conference.
The main Theme of the Conference is "Digital Governance – New Frontiers" with "Skill Development & Employability" as Focus Sector. The Conference will serve as an effective forum in which IT Secretaries of the State Governments, IT Professionals, Software Solution Providers, Industry, Academia, etc. will participate and interact, exchange opinions and views, discuss issues and problems as also analyze various solution frameworks.

Before I go on my rant let me first congratulate Ryan Braun on being named a NL All Star starter. Well deserved. Braun is hitting .320 with 16 HRs and has just been awesome.
The only other real shot the Jews had was Jason Marquis since every team needs a representative and he has been a solid pitcher all season with a 7-3 record and posting a respectable 4.11 ERA. Craig Breslow had an outside chance and Ike Davis, was solid until he got injured.
My rant begins now and has nothing to do with the Jewish players. Braun was really the only legit Jewish All Star. But I am furious that Paul Konerko got left off the AL team. I am mad at a combination of America for voting for the likes of Derek Jeter and Josh Hamilton who are less than All Stars instead of guys like Paul Konerko and even Victor Martinez. Also, my anger is aimed towards Ron Washington for taking Michael Young and Russell Martin over guys who are potentially MVPs. Paulie's line .317 BA, 21 HRs, 62 RBIs, and 39 Rs. Those numbers would be solid in September let alone July. Not to mention Phul Humber who has 8 Ws, 2.69 ERA, and a .98 WHIP. Crazy good. As a White Sox fan, as a baseball fan, and as a person with a sense of logic I am annoyed by baseball fans everywhere. I do not what to watch a Yankees/Rangers/Red Sox vs NL All Star game. I want to watch the best players in baseball. Its the only All Star game in sports that actually matters. Something needs to be done or its going to get out of control. They might as well put Don Mattingly on the ballet (he might do better than Jeter).
So America get it right. Vote for the potential AL MVP. Vote Paul Konerko. Vote PaulStar.
