Dramatic presentation illustrates a vital legacy
Some of the names they had heard before, such as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Others, such as Harriet Tubman, were not as familiar. But retired teachers Bobbie Ellison and Mariza Smith hope that within the dramatic, sometimes sing-song lesson celebrating Black History Month will be a message the children will never forget.
"Education is freedom," Smith said.
For the past few weeks, Ellison, who volunteers regularly at Carroll Lane, and Smith, a local author, have traveled to various campuses to talk about the important roles blacks have had in American history. Their delivery - using hats made from construction paper and tape, a big yellow bus and simple role-playing - keeps students engaged.
"I used to use drama in my classroom a lot . . . sometimes in math, a lot during reading," said Ellison, who retired after more than 36 years in education. "The students always seemed to learn better that way."
As a principal, Dianne Moore searches for ways to help make lessons memorable, especially those that aren't as readily available in mainstream textbooks.
"Through the years (textbooks) have included more about how minorities as a whole have contributed to our history," she said. "It's evolved since I was in school. It used to be you couldn't find information on any minority. It's important for boys and girls to have the opportunity to learn how all these people of color played a major part in the history of our country."
Moore, who grew up in a small Texas town, said when she was a girl it often was left up to parents, spiritual leaders and community members to provide that education. But those only were history lessons they felt were important enough to pass on.
That passion for equality and celebration of legacy is what helped steer Moore toward a career in education and why she feels strongly about sharing information about all cultures and races with her students.
"I used to love coming to school (as a child) and I still love coming to school," she said.
The history of history books hasn't always been favorable to women or minorities, said John d'Entremont, American history professor at Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg, Va.
"In the late '60s and early '70s, they had very little to say about minorities. There was a great deal of coverage about what presidents, presidential administrations and Congress did, but textbooks had very little to do with social history," he said. "For African-Americans, you might have a mention of Booker T. Washington or Frederick Douglass, and for Hispanics - virtually nothing."
Later, in the late 1970s and early 1980s - the afterglow of the civil rights movement - minorities and women began creeping into textbooks as short information boxes in the book's margins, d'Entremont said.
"It had a lot to do with the social movement. Many historians began to feel to get it right (history) had to be about more than white men shooting each other or passing laws," he said.
Scholars continued to realize their shortcomings, and through the years, information boxes have begun to disappear in favor of a more inclusive history.
"We still have some work to do, but we are light years away from where we used to be," d'Entremont said.
Mary Helen Berlanga, a local attorney who has served on the Texas State Board of Education since 1983, agrees.
"My very first battle when I got on the board in 1983 was because we were looking at textbooks that included the history of the Mayans and it was 10 pages of negative information," she said.
The State Board of Education reviews and adopts a list of approved textbooks for each subject about every six years. It is then up to individual districts to decide which of the books it will use. The whole process takes about two years.
Through the years, Berlanga has been very vocal about the treatment and inclusion of minorities, particularly Hispanics, in Texas schoolbooks.
There were many things about American and Texas history that Berlanga didn't know before she sat on the board from the fact that the first native Americans, the Olmecs, were from Mexico or that Hispanics fought in the Civil War.
"Not in elementary, high school or even college were these lessons ever taught," she said.
Change, Berlanga said, has been slow but it is coming. For now, she said she is grateful for creative teachers who work hard to bring lessons to life and make an inclusive history part of their students' education.
Blue paper clouds lined the wall outside the second-grade wing - reinforcement for what educators hope will be lifelong lessons. On them were students' hopes and dreams scrawled with the best penmanship a fresh writing hand could muster.
Jazlyn dreams of making people happy and taking care of them. Joy wants everyone to be treated the same as every one else. Marcus wants to make the United States of America a better place.
Ellison and Smith dream of students who will never forget the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. or Harriet Tubman. That they will always remember peace, tolerance and understanding.
And that education is freedom.

text: 2008 Wakefield Riesling Promised Land David Honig September 29, 2010 Tasting Notes 2 Comments Interesting, but a bit disjointed. The predominant flavor is key lime. It also has a touch of ginger and some petrol on the finish. Acid is there, too, but it pops up at the end, rather than providing a solid backbone through the entire experience. The overall sensation is of a wine that was made, rather than grown. WHO: Wakefield WHAT: Riesling WHERE: Clare Valley, Australia WHEN: 2008 HOW MUCH: $10 (Media sample) http://www.linkedin.com/in/caudilljim Jim Caudill Always interesting to read a variety of reviews of the same wine. Here's what a pair of other notable folks had to say about this wine: Josh Greene, Wine & Spirits 90 Points/Exceptional/Best Buy "This has powerful, schist acidity and more fat to its fruit than any Riesling has a right to. The peach and pineapple richness is checked by that laser-like acidity. Chill this for roast marron." October, 2010 Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator 89 Points/Very Good A Wine With Special Qualities "Crisp and light, with pretty apple, quince and mineral aromas and flavors, lingering nicely on the pure finish. Drink now through 2013." June 30, 2010 Okay, I'll confess: I had to go in search of roast marron. This is an off-dry style that cuts through the heat of some spicy Asian dishes, best served chilled to the roast marron…. http://www.palatepress.com David Honig Jim, That is interesting. I always say there isn't a right reviewer or a wrong reviewer. The key is to find one that matches your palate.

I have always admired her quiet, yet significant, influence on the Supreme Court, and believe she�s still serving our nation well by frequently reminding us of the importance of an independent judiciary. As a member of the Congressional Task Force on Alzheimer�s Disease, I appreciate the work she is doing to raise awareness of this terrible illness. Justice O�Connor represents the best our state has to offer and that makes every Arizonan, including me, very proud.
|What are the three most important Congressional priorities you see for Arizona and how would you work to accomplish them?
|We must strengthen our national security my making the United States energy independent as soon as possible. I am working to make sure Arizona plays an important role. Our country has paid a heavy price for the Bush Administration�s failed energy policy. For eight years, the Administration has made our country more dependent on foreign oil, less willing to conserve and unable to make serious investments in new energy technologies. It has weakened our national security and caused financial pain for businesses and families with record gas prices at the pump. We need to move our country in a new energy direction that ends our dependence on oil and puts the United States in a position to export new, affordable clean energy technologies across the globe.
I am proud I voted to increase fuel efficiency standards for the first time in 30 years. Under new rules passed by Congress, fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks will go up to 35 miles per gallon by the year 2020.
That�s a good start, but we still have much more work to do. In the short term, we should make sure that we�re utilizing our own domestic oil resources. Over the last several years, the federal government has approved thousands of permits for oil and gas exploration on more than 68 million acres of land. The problem is that oil companies who hold the permits aren�t using them. The 68 million acres of leased inactive public land -- a total area almost as large as Arizona -- could nearly double U.S. oil production, cut oil imports by one-third and put another nearly 5 million barrels of oil on the market every day. I voted for legislation that requires oil companies to �use or lose� these permits because if they won�t use them, we should issue permits to companies that will.
In addition to better utilizing our untapped domestic oil resources, we have a responsibility to grow clean, renewable energy technologies that can grow our economy and increase our security. In Congress, I have been working to make Arizona the �Solar State.� I am proud to have voted to repeal the Big Oil tax giveaways and invest those federal resources into clean solar technology that has the promise of creating thousands of jobs right here in Arizona.
Growing Arizona�s economy, and building the national tools we need to compete in the rapidly changing global economy, is critical. In Congress, as a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I have been working to secure the resources for growth at Sky Harbor and Phoenix-Mesa Gateway airports to make sure we have the capacity to meet the transportation needs of our growing local businesses, and to create more jobs in our state. When it comes to highway funding, Arizona has historically been a �donor state,� which means we pay more taxes than we get back from the federal treasury. One of my priorities has been to make sure that Arizona starts getting its fair share of transportation tax dollars.
I have also been working to improve care for our nation�s veterans across the country, and right here in Arizona. When I first got to Congress last year, I requested a seat on the House Veterans� Affairs Committee because I believe it is an injustice that those returning from Iraq and Afghanistan wounded were not getting the kind of care they deserve. Troops returning with post-traumatic stress disorder were forced to wait an average of 90 days for follow-up doctor appointments.
When we learned of the deplorable conditions our soldiers were recovering in at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, I was the first to introduce legislation -- the Dignity for Wounded Warriors Act -- to clean it up. I am proud that, working in a bipartisan way, my legislation was included in a larger military health care package and passed unanimously by the House. As the chairman of the Veterans� Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, we extended the investigations of military facilities to VA hospitals and secured the resources necessary to improve conditions in those facilities.
Yet, perhaps the most significant improvement we have made boosts education benefits for our volunteer military. Earlier this year, I joined forces with Sen. Jim Webb of Virginia to introduce the bipartisan Webb-Mitchell GI Bill to extend real education benefits to those who served in the military since 9/11. The previous GI Bill was designed for peacetime, and benefits were not meeting the needs of our returning servicemen and women. It took a lot of work, but we earned a lot of bipartisan support. The measure passed the house 416 to 12 and was signed into law by the President.
We�ve made progress on these fronts, but I believe there is much more work to do. To accomplish all of these goals, Democrats and Republicans must sit down together and work in a bipartisan way to get things done for the American people.
|What are your views on Congressional earmarks and would you recommend such funding in your district? Are there any circumstances in which you would favor earmarks for Arizona or other states?
|I have been working to bring more accountability and transparency to the earmark process. Under the previous Congress, earmarks were repeatedly abused and, as a result, lobbyists had far too much influence over the budget process. One of my very first votes in Congress was to reform the earmark process and demand greater accountability when it comes to spending. This has helped eliminate the most egregious requests, such as the infamous $250 million �bridge to nowhere,� but there is still more I believe we can do to shine a light on the process and better protect tax dollars.
I am the first representative of my District to post my spending requests on my Congressional Web site at mitchell.house.gov for constituents and media to see, and I support legislation to require every member of Congress to make their spending requests available online.
Used wisely, the appropriations process can be critically important to growing states like Arizona that do not get their fair share of tax dollars. I am proud to have requested funding to improve the readiness of the Arizona Army National Guard, fight Meth use among kids in Maricopa County, grow economic opportunities by expanding our transportation capacity at Sky Harbor and Phoenix-Mesa Gateway airports, and make sure we have the resources to finish our light rail system on time.
|What actions, if any, would you pursue to improve Congressional ethics?
|When I was first elected to serve in Congress, it seemed like Congressional ethics were at an all-time low. Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay had been indicted, lobbyist Jack Abramoff admitted to bribing members of Congress, and Rep. Mark Foley was caught having inappropriate relationships with teenage House pages. We needed to do better.
The first piece of legislation I supported was a sweeping ethics reform package that cut the influence of lobbyists, created tighter restrictions on travel and gifts, and made members of Congress certify that their spending requests do not financially benefit themselves or their spouses. I also fought to create an independent ethics panel that long-time members of Congress opposed because Congress can�t always be trusted to investigate itself.
I will continue to support efforts to make Congress more open, honest and transparent, and am currently a co-sponsor of legislation that will require every member of Congress to post their spending requests online for the public to see.
|Are undocumented immigrants a net benefit or detriment to Arizona?
|While our economy is dependent on legal immigrant labor, those who break the law put a dangerous strain on law enforcement, our health care system and our schools.
|What would be your top priority for legislation to deal with the problem of illegal immigration?
|We need tough and realistic immigration reform. I have been frustrated at how gridlock on both sides of the aisle has delayed the passage of real reform. Arizona is paying a heavy price.
I have also been frustrated with President Bush�s unwillingness to take the border security issue seriously. The federal government must do a better job of enforcing our laws, but the Administration continues to put our state at risk.
I have repeatedly asked the President to continue Operation Jump Start, which placed nearly 3,000 National Guardsmen along the U.S.-Mexico border, but he has refused. When my individual efforts failed to persuade the President, I invited the rest of Arizona's House delegation to join me in making a collective case to the President. I was joined by Reps. Trent Franks, Jeff Flake, Gabrielle Giffords, and John Shadegg. I also offered an amendment to the 2009 Defense Authorization Act to require an extension of Jump Start until new Border Patrol agents could be fully deployed. President Bush is content to let Operation Jump Start expire July 15, 2008.
While we work toward tough and realistic reform, I have been fighting to put more resources on the border. I commissioned one of the first Congressional studies on examining Immigration and Customs Enforcement�s handling of �drop houses� that act as way stations for drugs and humans smuggled across the border. The Phoenix area is believed to have more than 1,000 drop houses, and law enforcement officers on the front lines told me that they haven�t been getting the resources they need. I took their case back to Congress and successfully fought to increase the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement budget by $700 million and secure the resources to hire 3,000 new Border Patrol agents.
|Would you favor a temporary worker program to help ensure employers in Arizona and other states have the necessary supply of workers?
|We have a responsibility to reform the immigration system in a way that better enforces the law and establishes a more effective temporary worker mechanism to ensure our economy has the labor pool it needs to grow stronger while not jeopardizing the jobs of Americans.
|To what extent, if any, does global warming pose a threat to lives, property and the economy? What should the federal government do about it, if anything?
|Climate change is a very serious threat to human lives, property and the global economy. The consequences of climate change are real, and are happening right before our eyes. Once majestic ice caps and glaciers are melting. Weather patterns and climates are changing. Drought is ravaging through parts of the world.
Here in Arizona, we are not immune from the impact of climate change. We are experiencing longer and more severe fire seasons. Rain pattern changes and insect migration are destroying our forests. As snow pack decreases in the Rocky Mountains, Arizona feels the heat - literally. We're experiencing lengthy droughts that could become even more troublesome in managing our water as our population continues to grow.
In the past two years, we�ve made progress in combating climate change, but we still have hills to climb to better protect our planet. While the new Congress has increased fuel efficiency standards for the first time in 30 years, it is clear that we will need a new President to make serious and meaningful investments in the clean, renewable sources of energy that we need to make America energy independent. An America powered by clean energy technologies such as solar energy will end our dependence on Middle Eastern oil, and reduce the harmful greenhouse gases we emit to our atmosphere.
|Should Congress set a timetable for U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq? Why or why not?
|The bipartisan Iraq Study Group, which included distinguished members such as former Secretary of State James Baker and Arizona's own Sandra Day O'Connor, said that it believed benchmarks are an appropriate way to chart the Iraqi government's progress, or lack thereof.
Among the benchmarks the Iraq Study Group proposes were quelling sectarian violence, disarming sectarian militias and developing a plan to share oil revenues equitably among all Iraqis. Holding the Iraqi government accountable to meeting these benchmarks is imperative because they have not always lived up to their promises.
In January 2007, when President Bush announced his plan for a �surge� in Iraq, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki publicly committed to meeting a set of benchmarks, including quelling sectarian violence, disarming sectarian militias and developing a plan to share oil revenues equitably among all Iraqis. Several months later, Congress, in a bipartisan way, made clear that the Iraqi government should be held accountable for meeting those benchmarks and required the President to report on the Iraqi government�s progress in meeting those goals.
So far, the Iraqi government has failed to meet the political benchmarks it agreed to two and a half years ago.
Even the Iraqi government, which previously resisted U.S. redeployment, now believes that a diminished U.S. military presence can help pave the way to a lasting peace in Iraq. We can redeploy our troops in a responsible way that will help us better meet our strategic objectives and renew our fight against global terrorism. I am convinced that this course, combined with stepping up our diplomatic efforts, provide the best opportunity to achieve our strategic objectives and force Iraq�s leaders to get serious about Iraqi reconciliation and stabilization efforts.
The situation in Iraq is not a result of military failure. Our nation�s armed forces crushed Saddam Hussein�s regime in one of the most complete and impressive military victories in the history of our country. The disaster in Iraq is a result of the Bush Administration�s failure to plan and failure to listen. It is a result of misplaced trust in the Malaki government.
|Would you favor withdrawing troops from Iraq to bolster U.S. interests in Afghanistan? Why or why not?
|The Bush Administration�s failed policy in Iraq has limited the success of our mission in Afghanistan, and hindered our ability to destroy al Qaeda�s international operations. As a result, U.S. intelligence analysts say al Qaeda is the strongest it has ever been since the September 11, 2001 attacks. In recent months, attacks against coalition forces have risen, the Taliban has strengthened, and opium production is on the rise. The United States has an opportunity to improve the NATO mission, and renew our commitment to leading the fight against global terrorism and destroying al Qaeda.
|What should the United States do about Iran's nuclear ambitions?
|Iran�s defiant pursuit of nuclear arms is a threat to the peace and stability of the United States and the world. We must use all of the tools at our disposal to swiftly and peacefully prevent the Iranian regime from acquiring nuclear arms and the means to produce them. There is broad and significant international support for efforts to stop Iran�s nuclear ambitions. In the United States, we must do our part. I co-sponsored the Iran Counter-Proliferation Act because I believe we need to use all of the diplomatic, political and economic tools at our disposal to prevent a military conflict with Iran. The Act expands sanctions on the Iranian government, prevents the United States from entering into nuclear cooperation agreements with nations that provide assistance to Iran�s nuclear and missile programs, and calls for the United Nations Security Council to respond to Iran�s defiance.
|What specific cuts in spending or tax increases would you recommend to bring the federal budget into balance?
|I believe Congress must do a better job to cut wasteful spending. I�m proud to have joined with Republican Congressman Ron Paul of Texas to introduce bipartisan legislation to block the automatic $4,000 pay raise for members of Congress. When the measure didn�t pass, I donated my pay raise to Arizona charities. When my own party proposed a budget I did not agree with, I voted against it because I thought we needed to do a better job of cutting wasteful spending. I was one of only 15 Democrats to vote against the $658 billion farm bill that I believed spent far too much money to subsidize corporate farmers. These are important first steps toward cutting wasteful spending and balancing our budget.
|If you had to choose between increasing taxes or further increasing the federal deficit, which would you favor?
|I believe that is a false choice. We can extend key tax cuts that help middle class families and reduce the federal deficit by doing a better job of cutting wasteful spending.
|Would you favor a Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade? Why or why not?
|No. Decisions about childbearing should be made by a woman, her family, and her doctors � not by politicians.
|Would you support a federal same-sex marriage amendment?
|I support the current Arizona law that does not allow same-sex marriage. I oppose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution because it is not the role of the federal government to dictate state marriage law.

Judge tosses suit challenging We Energies biomass project
A Marathon County judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed this summer by opponents of the We Energies biomass power plant near Wausau.
The local group Save Our Air Resources and the Massachusetts-based Biomass Accountability Project had sued the state Department of Natural Resources challenging its approval of the project, which would burn wood waste and wood residues left over from logging operations.
The plant was proposed by We Energies along with the paper company Domtar, which will host the project at its Rothschild paper mill.
The $255 million project is needed to help We Energies comply with the state's renewable energy target.
In a ruling Thursday, Marathon County Judge Michael Moran ruled in favor of the DNR that the lawsuit was filed late and by a lawyer
"It was filed late and it was filed by an out-of-state attorney," Moran said, according to an audio recording posted online by the Wausau radio station WSAU.
Construction of the plant started this summer and the project is scheduled to be completed by the end of next year.
A final order dismissing the suit will be drafted by Assistant Attorney General Joanne Kloppenburg, who represented DNR, a record of Thursday's proceeding indicates.

After an abysmal second half last season, the firing of its coach and the loss of an NBA lottery-pick center, few expected Illinois to be where it's at. Under new coach John Groce and some hot 3-point shooting, the 13th-ranked Fighting Illini can go 9-0 for the second straight year Tuesday night against visiting Western Carolina. The Illini will soon want to depart from last year's script, though, as the team finished 7-15 after starting 10-0. But spirits are much higher in Champaign thus far, particularly after they received a late spark from an unlikely source in Wednesday's 75-62 home win over Georgia Tech in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. Illinois trailed by four with 7:15 remaining, before junior Joseph Bertrand scored every point in a 10-0 run, which sparked a 21-4 game-ending run for his team. Twelve of the reserve guard's 15 points came in the second half and he finished 6 of 8 from the floor. The Illini held the Yellow Jackets to 1-of-11 shooting to end the game. "Our defe...

He unveiled a sweeping canvas of the battle, commissioned by Arthur Wellesley, son of the current Duke of Wellington. But he has a much less likely connection to the family.
The Battle of Waterloo isn't over. Two of our leading historians, Sir Richard Evans and Andrew Roberts, are locked in combat over who actually could claim victory. Last week Sir Richard, former Regius Professor of History at Cambridge and renowned expert in German history, told a captive audience at the Museum of London that "it was not the Duke of Wellington who won but the Prussians, led by Field Marshal Blücher", and that Waterloo's "reputation as a history-changing event owes a great deal to his [Wellington's] manipulation of its memory."
When photographs were released of Prince George, with his silky blond hair, holding sister Princess Charlotte and then on the Buckingham Palace balcony in his romper suit, a collective coo was heard around the world. But one thing has become commented on in style circles of this dapper young toddler prince: his side parting.
If there's anything to put a dampener on Glastonbury, it might be a politico calling it the "model for radical policy reform". And who would dare co-opt the mud and music fest for ideology? Steve Hilton, of course.
Tite Street is the hallowed avenue in Chelsea which, in fin-de-siècle London, was the Hoxton of its day. Oscar Wilde (and the judge who conde mned him), John Singer Sargent and James McNeill Whistler all lived within a few doors of each other. However the diggers are about to move in, to the disgruntlement of well-heeled neighbours.
On Saturday the Financial Times published an interview with Daily Express & Daily Star owner Richard Desmond, who was taken for lunch at Coq d'Argent by the FT's media correspondent, Henry Mance. A particularly delightful part of the piece described Desmond casually ordering a bottle of £580 Château Palmer to wash down the meal. Poor Mance was then left to foot the bill, which came to a grand total of £758.81.
On Wednesday morning, as University College London honorary professor Sir Tim Hunt's was flying back from South Korea, where he had made his ill-advised joke about female scientists, his wife, Mary Collins, also a professor at the college, was called by UCL. She was informed "by a senior that Tim had to resign immediately or be sacked". Who was this senior? No one from UCL has put their head above the parapet.
When David Miliband stepped back from frontline politics he crossed the pond to head up the International Rescue Committee in New York. Now The Londoner hears Ed Balls is following suit and booking himself in for a long-haul flight to Boston. The former shadow chancellor, ousted from his Morley and Outwood seat last month, is heading to Harvard.
Why did Boris Johnson, staunch defender of the black cab trade, soften his line on Uber at the London Assembly last month? Previously he'd criticised the "excessively bumptious" US private hire firm that, with its technology, was destroying the good old black cab. But then last month Boris said the "free market" and "consumer choice" meant cab drivers would have to accept the rise of Uber./p>
There's a political revolution afoot. Russell Brand isn't involved this time, though. Instead, a formidable force is quietly and calmly gathering momentum, ready to launch not just on the national platform but, if its co-founder has her way, the world stage.
The Londoner's wedding hat was raised to Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit author Jeanette Winterson and psychotherapist Susie Orbach. It's been a long time coming but the pair have finally tied the knot in a charming ceremony over the weekend.
Is Harry Styles the most influential man in the country? The One Direction heartthrob has been delving into Judaism and philosophy — he's a fan of Socrates. Now his cultural dabblings have inspired a novel on the art world.

The Stormcast Eternals are Sigmar's most powerful warriors, his wrath made manifest and his final gambit against the dark forces of Chaos. Once mortal heroes, they were plucked from the devastation of countless battlefields by Sigmar and reforged both in body and mind. They are the ultimate warriors, pure of heart, strong of arm, clad in unalloyed sigmarite and, above all else, immortal.
The most common of all Stormcast Eternals are the Liberators, every one of them a mighty warrior even before their reforging. The Warhammer Age of Sigmar starter set includes 10 of these fearsome warriors. It is their duty – one they undertake with grim satisfaction – to lay low the commanders of the enemy army with their mighty warhammers before crushing them underfoot.
In less than a week's time many of you will be painting these incredible miniatures, so Duncan Rhodes – Sigmar's chosen painter – has created a series of painting videos to show you how:
Fighting alongside the Liberators and the Prosecutors are the Retributors. Wreathed in lightning, they can crush several foes with a swing of their lightning hammers, every impact like a peal of thunder.
There are three of these mighty warriors in the Warhammer Age of Sigmar starter set and one of the missions in the book pitches them against a horde of Khorne Bloodreavers.
One video not enough for you today? Here's a second showing you how to paint the Retributors and the Lord-Relictor.
Make sure you pop back tomorrow for a look at the Lord-Celestant on Dracoth.

The Decade of the South: The New State Population Estimates
The Suburbs are Sexy
The Administration's Anti-Suburban Agenda: Nearly since inauguration, the Administration has embarked upon a campaign against suburban development, seeking to force most future urban development into far more dense areas. The President set the stage early, telling a Florida town hall meeting that the days of building "sprawl" (pejorative for "suburbanization") forever were over. read more »
Demographics May Be Destiny, but Mind the Assumptions
Demographic projections have become an essential tool of national, state and local governments, international agencies, and private businesses. The first step in planning for the future is to get a picture of what the terrain is going to look like when you get there. That's mainly what I do for clients, audiences and subscribers, and demographics provide the frame (like assembling all the straight-edge pieces of a jigsaw puzzle first). read more »
Will New Urbanists Deliver A Home-Win With Miami 21?
By Richard Reep
"A walkable city, more like… Manhattan, Chicago, or San Francisco," is how The Miami Herald characterizes the future of Miami under Miami 21, the new form-based code adopted on October 22nd by the Miami City Commission. This seems to be the hot new dream not just of Miami, but of all cities struggling under corruption and greed, codes and regulations, with an imagined underground urbanity, yearning to breathe free. Citizens may now expect to see Miami remodeled after cities that grew before the car came, but the lyrics to The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" echo in the minds of some: "Meet the new boss…same as the old boss." read more »
When Granny Comes Marching Home Again... Multi-Generational Housing
During the first ten days of October 2008, the Dow Jones dropped 2,399.47 points, losing 22.11% of its value and trillions of investor equity. The Federal Government pushed a $700 billion bail-out through Congress to rescue the beleaguered financial institutions. The collapse of the financial system in the fall of 2008 was likened to an earthquake. In reality, what happened was more like a shift of tectonic plates.
The driveway tells the story. The traditional two-story 2,200 square foot suburban home has a two-car attached garage. Today's multi-generational families fill the garage, the driveway and often also occupy the curb in front of the home. The economic crisis that is transforming America is also changing the way we live. The outcome will change the way America views its housing needs for the balance of the 21st Century. read more »
So Much for Evidence-Based Planning
Has evidence-based planning fallen from grace in favour of catchy slogans and untested assumptions? In the case of urban planning, arguably that is just what's happened. The evidence, in Australia at least, is worrying.
"We must get people out of cars and onto public transport." "We must stop urban sprawl and the consumption of valuable land." "We must build higher density communities to achieve sustainable environmental outcomes." Phrases like this are now de rigueur across many discussions about urban planning in the media, in politics and in regulatory circles in Australia. They are rarely challenged on the basis of what the actual social, economic or scientific evidence is really saying. read more »
Housing Bubbles: Why are Americans Ignoring Reality?
Dr. Housing Bubble (based in California), in "The comprehensive state of the US housing market", asserts that of the 129 million residential units in the United States, some 15,950,000 are vacant, resulting in a huge oversupply of residential stock across the country.
Other United States commentators are making the same assertions, such as Colin Barr of Fortune magazine with "Housing market still faces a big glut". read more »

California: The Housing Bubble Returns?
To read the periodic house price reports out of California, it would be easy to form the impression that house prices are continuing to decline. Most press reports highlight the fact that house prices are lower this year than they were at the same time last year. This masks the reality of robust house price increases that have been underway for nearly half a year. The state may have forfeited seven years of artificially induced house price escalation in just two years but has recovered about one-fifth of it since March. read more »
Predicting the Future of British House Building
People are expecting British house building to pick up. Sadly they will be disappointed, even as the housing market inflates into another bubble.
There have been declines and recoveries in British house building before the 2007 collapse in construction activity. Data is in abundance. The total number of homes built annually has more than halved since the late 1960s, as successive governments withdrew from publicly funding the post-war welfare programme of council house building. read more »

But Terence Stuart, the former head of the South Yorkshire Police (SYP) unit responsible for public order and football matches, denied there was "complacency" within the force and told the jury it was "stunning" to now be shown an internal memo raising concerns about the stadium.
The retired officer was questioned about his involvement with Hillsborough in the years before the disaster when he was the superintendent in charge of the Force Operations division, with responsibility for policing football matches and was also the footbll liaison officer for South Yorkshire Police.
He left the post just a month before the disaster on April 15 1989 when 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death on the Leppings Lane terrace of the ground during an FA Cup semi-final.
Mr Stuart was asked about a paper trail of numerous letters and memos dating back to the 1980s involving Hillsborough.
The jury was shown a memo from an Inspector Calvert on 'F' Division of SYP, covering the Hillsborough stadium, to his boss, the Chief Superintendent, dated June 11 1986.
In it the inspector complained of "crowd access to the Leppings Lane" and "congestion due to crash barriers" but approaches to the club had met with "little success in many cases".
Mr Stuart said such matters were not brought to his attention and that he had never seen the document in his life.
The inquest continues.

Vietnam Airlines plans to restructure its subsidiary Vietnam Air Service (VASCO) and merge its operations with a new joint-stock airline, VietAir.
Vietnam's flag carrier has already received in-principle approval to start VietAir from deputy prime minister Hoang Trung Hai, says a VASCO spokesman.
It is still unclear who will be the other investors in VietAir, he adds. "Everything is still on the table for discussion," says the spokesman.
A Vietnam Airlines spokesman declines comment.
The Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam (CAAV) has yet to receive a formal application for VietAir to begin operations, says its director of air transport Vo Huy Cuong.
However, the CAAV understands that VietAir will initially start operations in the general aviation market, operating helicopter, air taxi and air ambulance services, adds Vo.
"Vietnam Airlines plans to join VASCO and VietAir into one, and they will then provide scheduled commercial services," he says.
VASCO operates scheduled and charter passenger and cargo services. It serves four domestic destinations from Ho Chi Minh City, according to its website.
It operates ATR 72, Beechcraft KingAir B200s and Antonov An-2 aircraft.

"As a nation, we have watched the health care reform legislation evolve over the past year. One issue we have not heard much about -- and not through lack of trying -- is legislation for the reform of cancer care," continued Dr. Cobb. "Although there are certain positive aspects of reform relating to insurance coverage, the proposed legislation comes up woefully short in addressing a growing cancer care crisis."
Prior to Congress embarking on health reform legislation, a national team of oncologists spent more than a year researching and developing a plan to improve the Medicare payment system for cancer care. This initiative resulted in collaborating with members of Congress, now embodied in the National Cancer Care Demonstration Project Act of 2009 (H.R. 3675).
Dr. Cobb noted, "Because of the timing of the health care reform debate, we're concerned that progress in funding and implementing this very specific national project is too slow to stop the impact of the upcoming January cuts."
The organization has issued a six-part recommendation, which includes immediate action:

Memphis Rep. Steve Cohen once again goes to bat for legal marijuana
WASHINGTON – In a letter to the federal drug czar today, Congressman Steve Cohen asked that the Office of National Drug Control Policy reconsider its approach to criminalizing marijuana possession and use.
Following up on his sponsorship in June of a bill that would allow states to "legalize, regulate, tax and control" marijuana without federal interference, the Memphis Democrat told R. Gil Kerlikowske, the so-called drug czar, that spending trillions of dollars enforcing marijuana laws has been shown to be the "wrong approach."
Cohen suggested that marijuana should be removed from Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act because "there is no evidence that marijuana has the same addictive qualities or damaging consequences as (cocaine, heroin or methamphetamine) and should not be treated as such."
Cohen said one estimate of law enforcement costs for pursuing marijuana users could be as much as $7.6 billion a year, or nearly $10,000 per arrest.
The letter also calls for the office to end prosecution of people using medical marijuana, noting that 16 states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana for medical use.

Speculation: Must the villain be Gary Mitchell, or... ?

Re: Speculation: Must the villain be Gary Mitchell, or... ?
I'm going to go ahead and stake my claim in the speculation game: I'm going with a shapeshifter like Garth of Izar. First all the talk of Khan, then the way Urban worded his comment about "Cumberbatch's Gary Mitchell" being "exemplary". I'm thinking JJ is wanting to "cheat" and cram several TOS iconic villains into his movie by using a changeling that will impersonate these other characters and go after Kirk that way.
Just pulling that out of my, er, hat, so I'm not going to wager any money on it or anything.

Teenager Divock Origi became the youngest player to score in this World Cup when he cracked in an 88th-minute winner to give Belgium a 1-0 victory over Russia on Sunday and a place in the last 16.
Origi's well-placed shot came after a dangerous jinking run and cutback from the left by Eden Hazard and it settled an otherwise turgid game during which the 73,000 fans regularly booed both teams.
The 19-year-old's goal came just four minutes after Kevin Mirallas crashed a free kick against the base of goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev's right-hand post to give Belgium six points from two games.
Russia have one point with South Korea and Algeria meeting in the other Group H match in Porto Alegre later on Sunday.
"It was an important goal but I thought we created it as a team," Origi said in a television interview. "I thought we showed today that we are mentally strong."
Belgium manager Marc Wilmots said he gambled on Origi who plays for French club Lille.
"He's in a good space right now, he's 19 years old. It was a bit of a surprise since he was an unknown before I selected him. Now everyone knows who he is.
"It was a hard game because the Russians were expecting us – the players were tired, it was hot, the Russians were already cramping up after 60 minutes.
"It was not an easy match but I think we deserved to win it."
Russia coach Fabio Capello thought it was a decent game.
"The match was a really good one, fast, strong," he said. "I'm disappointed for the players because they played a really good game."
Rousing finale
But apart from Belgium's rousing finale, the game was one of the poorest in the tournament although Origi will not worry about that as he became the first teenager to score in the World Cup since Lionel Messi in 2006.
Despite a few flashes of inspiration from Belgium's right-winger Dries Martens in the first half and their attacking finish at the end, the match never rose above the largely forgettable.
Both managers made changes to the teams that played in their opening matches, but if their ideas were to spark up their teams after relatively poor opening displays, those plans did not appear to work.
Apart from Mertens doing his best to bring Belgium to life before the break by giving left back Dmitry Kombarov a torrid time down the right, none of his inspired runs or passes produced the breakthrough.
Russia looked lively on the break in the first half with Victor Fayzulin popping up in dangerous positions, but one of the strengths of this Belgium side is their defence.
Captain Vincent Kompany, who missed two days of training with a groin injury, …continued »

Embedding a partially ordered ring in a division algebra
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: D. K. Harrison has shown that if a ring with identity has a positive cone that is an infinite prime (a subsemiring that contains 1 and is maximal with respect to avoiding -- 1), and if the cone satisfies a certain archimedean condition for all elements of the ring, then there exists an order isomorphism of the ring into the real field. Our main result shows that if Harrison's archimedean condition is weakened so as to apply only to the elements of the cone and if a certain centrality relation is satisfied, then there exists an order isomorphism of the ring into a division algebra that is algebraic over a subfield of the real field. Also, Harrison's result and a related theorem of D. W. Dubois are extended to rings without identity; in so doing, it is shown that order isomorphic subrings of the real field are identical.

Gem 1854 Cent Pattern--Double Struck, Second Strike Rotated on the Reverse--Judd-1641854 1C Cent--Double Struck, Second Strike Rotated on Reverse--PR65 Brown NGC. Judd-164, Pollock-189, R.6. Flying eagle design with a hook-neck eagle on the obverse, surrounded by stars and the date below. The reverse closely resembles the regular dies issue for the Large cent. Struck in either copper or bronze with a plain edge.
This is a very interesting pattern in that it is also an error--something that is unprecedented in our experience. It appears that the reverse was struck from a misaligned die. Because of the small number of patterns struck, the misalignment error was caught before being released. However, rather than discarding or melting the piece, it was reinserted into the anvil die and restruck with the hammer (reverse) die, properly positioned this time. Most of the evidence of the first strike was obliterated but traces of the lettering still can be seen in several places, most notably on UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. ONE CENT also shows evidence of having been struck twice, and there is slight doubling on several of the leaves in the wreath. The surfaces are an even, medium brown coloration and glossy with no obvious or distracting marks. An unusual and very rare opportunity for the pattern or error specialist. (PCGS# 11678)

The Faber-Jackson relation in Seyfert galaxies
Weinzirl, Timothy
Bennett, Wendy
Madland, Mark
MetadataShow full item record
Seyfert galaxies, in which accretion onto a massive nuclear black hole acts as a powerful energy source, allegedly have bulges more luminous per unit mass than those in normal galaxies. We have tested this claim through the application of well-known correlations to Hubble Space Telescope images of 26 Seyfert 2 galaxies. One-dimensional and two-dimensional luminosity decomposition was performed to obtain bulge luminosities for each galaxy. The one-dimensional technique is simpler to implement, but it results in a loss of data and is more dependent on the empirical model chosen for the bulge. Accordingly, we utilized the one-dimensional fit parameters as a basis for refined two-dimensional decomposition. We also constructed the Faber-Jackson relation, a correlation between bulge luminosity and velocity dispersion, a parameter which scales with the mass of the galactic bulge. By comparing the relation for our sample of Seyfert galaxies to that of normal galaxies, we explore the proposition that bulges in Seyfert galaxies tend to be more luminous.

Are there any libraries or tools specifically designed to help PHP programmers write Javascript? Essentially, converting the PHP logic into Javascript logic. For instance:
$document = new Document($html);
$myFoo = $document->getElementById("foo");
$myFoo->value = "Hello World";
Being converted into the following output:
var myFoo = document.getElementById("foo");
myFoo.value = "Hello World";
So the
$html that is passed in won't initially be modified by the PHP. Instead, the PHP will convert itself into Javascript which is then appended onto the end of the
$html variable to be ran when the variable it output and converted into the client-side DOM.
Of course it would be excellent if more complicated solutions could be derived too, perhaps converting objects and internal methods into javascript-objects, etc.
