Queer Black Trouble in Life, Literature, and the Age of Obama
CLAGS: Center for LGBTQ Studies
Friday, December 6, 2013 from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM (EST)
The Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies
invites you to the
2013 Kessler Awards Ceremony
Celebrating 2013 Kessler winner
Cheryl Clarke
Lecture: "Queer Black Trouble: In Life, Literature, and the Age of Obama"
The prestigious Kessler Award is an annual lectureship given to a scholar who has produced a substantive body of work and has had a significant influence on the field of GLBTQ Studies. The 2013 awardee is prominent poet, essayist, and educator Cheryl Clarke, long time Dean of Students at Rutgers University and founding director of the Office of Diverse Community Affairs and Lesbian/Gay Concerns (renamed Office of Social Justice Education and LGBT Communities).The Kessler Awards ceremony will include a lecture by the recipient, as well as keynotes given by distinguished guest speakers Steven G. Fullwood and Elizabeth Lorde-Rollins. A wine and cheese reception will follow the lecture.
Cheryl Clarke is the author of four books of poetry, including Humid Pitch (1989) and Experimental Love (1993). Among her many writings, she is also author of After Mecca: Women Poets and the Black Arts Movement (2005) and The Days of Good Looks: Prose and Poetry 1980-2005 (2006). Her essays "Lesbianism: an act of resistance," appearing in the iconic This Bridge Called My Back: Writings By Radical Women of Color, and "The Failure to Transform: Homophobia in the Black Community" appearing in Home Girls: A Black Feminist Anthology, are both considered seminal texts in feminist and LGBT studies. She considers herself a scholar of Audre Lorde's poetry and continues to write about its impact. Her article, "By Its Absence: Literature and Social Justice Consciousness" will appear in The Handbook of Social Justice (Routledge, 2014). She was the founding director of the Center for Social Justice Education and LGBT Communities from 1992-2009 and Dean of Students for the Livingston Campus at Rutgers from 2009-2013. She graduated from Howard University in 1969 and received a Ph.D. in English from Rutgers in 2000.

Brakes, tune up and other fun things....
Even though there was a lot to get done on the bike, yesterday being fathers day I decided to put family stuff on the front burner and in the morning we went to town, bought the wife a Rav 4 so that I can now drive her old Highlander and get rid of the cursed Volvo.
In the afternoon the youngest daughter came over for pizza and we decided to break out the dirt bikes and ride. My wife rode a little bit but the daughter and I tore it up for quite a while, I finally went in the shop and worked on the SL350 while the daughter continued riding around the property. It was a great day, we all had fun and still finished the tune up. I can now focus on finishing the chassis, getting it rideable in a day or so and work the bugs out. Time is tight but we will get it done.
Here is a picture of the front wheel from race bike and rear wheel from donor bike, note the brake linings have fallen off both. A rush order has been placed for brake shoes and OC is also bringing some spares.
Here is a picture of the motor during the tune up process (now completed), note the tin sleeves over intake boots that have been sealed with silicone. Previous owner had installed the CV carbs at an angle, deforming the boots and slightly tearing the LH boot. After I dimpled the frame for choke shaft clearance and got the spare set of carbs from OC sitting in the boots straight, each time I tried to tighten the clamps the boots would deform and collapse. The tin sleeves now distribute the clamping force more equally and the carbs are now straight and tight.
I did end up having to drill out the screw that holds the RH tappet adjustment cover on, the impact driver just rounded out the slots, so I got out the mighty makita out and killed the screw. When I have time I will easy-out the bad screw and reinstall the cover.

Ban Lao Restaurant and Beer Garden
Great open-air setting
What we say:
The menu features the usual tourist fare pizzas, breakfast sets, burgers and fried rice, but their selection of traditional Lao dishes like larb with sticky rice are good and probably the most satisfying option. As the name suggests, they definitely serve BeerLao and you're welcome to just come here and drink.
One disadvantage of the natural setting is that mosquitoes enjoy it as well. The restaurant will offer to burn a coil for you, but bring some repellent just in case. Despite the lovely setting, Ban Lao doesn't seem too popular: think of it as Khop Chai Deu without the crowds.

Re: Is it worth the money? (TI4200 vs. FX5200)
Err.. sorry for the triple-posting here.. i just don't think my find it worth of a edit.
I popped on a ram-spreader thingy on my stick of 256mb in there, and i was able to almost get through a test in 3dmark - failed on the pixel shader, about half-way in. I want to go through it all, at least once, to see how fast it is.. but not if it keeps freezing
I tried a few more games.. Deus Ex, Unreal, and JK:JA all played very fast before freezing to a halt, at highest settings/800x600, noAA/8xAF. Steam in JK:JA slowed it down a few FPS though, nothing to go cry about. Just wish this card wasn't making it freeze like crazy..
Cough.. with EVEREST Home Edition, my AMD K6-2/VA-503 scored higher in memory tests (PC100 256mb.. remember that?). That's pretty bad..
/me goes to find a money tree to shake. (with enough shaking, i could even buy a SLI system.. but that's for the future..)

I apologize in advance if I'm asking a redundant question, but I haven't read the whole thread yet and maybe someone can answer a brief question.
I ride a WeeStrom which is showing its age. I'd like something with a little more power. I ride 99% street, commuting and short trips (around 100 miles) with a couple of longer trips /year. But mostly local.
I think the Stelvio is overkill and more than I need (but maybe a bigger and more comfy ride will get me out more and longer), but on paper I'm crazy about the bike - I probably don't think anyone here needs convincing (not that I'm crazy, but that the bike's a peach). Comfort, reliability, endless grunt, farkled out of the box, ton of bike for the money...
Here's my question: my Strom's like a bicycle around town - weighs around 425 or so, feels like nothing but a little topheavy. How's the Stelvio in this regard?
I've heard it wears its weight well, feels lighter than it is. For a tall bike, how planted (i.e., not top heavy) does it feel, particularly at low speeds? How much of a handful to push around town is it? I'm not expecting it'll be as flickable as the Strom, but how much more ornery?
Of course a ride would answer all these questions, but my closest dealer is an hour away and doesn't have a test bike - says MG won't underwrite a tester and he can't afford to lower the value of a new bike by letting people put miles on it.
I guess I can see his dilemma, but are there that many people out there who'll drop 16K on a bike they haven't ridden? I won't. If I have to, I'll travel to find a dealer who'll let me test ride, then buy from him if I like the bike, and look forward to a sweet ride home.
Anyway, any enlightenment much appreciated.
I feel like it's surprisingly maneuverable once you get rolling. The longitudinal engine layout means that the flywheel and other rotating masses offer no gyroscopic resistance to leaning like they would on any bike with the more common transverse layout (like the Strom). I haven't ridden a Strom for comparison, though.

This is definitely an obsession. How can she thinks that looks good? Terrible for anyone's skin. I hope she wouldn't take her daughter into a tanning bed. I have a terrible feeling this isn't the first time.
Okay, I see that they have her photo up in the link. She is really a sad looking individual. I do however believe that the little girl and the mother are correct that this little red-headed very light skinned child got her sunburn from playing outside like they both said and not in the tanning booth.
Havou seen the photos and video of this woman? My God! There was a Black reporter interviewing her and she was much darker than he was! Trouble is it was a reddish black! Absolutely scary! She needs help.

News: Co workers can sue over excessive perfume in the work place.
I personally love this article (even though I've just now received a few nasty emails from others online for my sharing the article..oh well) by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger because it points out many things that I and many others have to deal with on a daily basis.
I've had to leave the movies, lines I'm waiting in, the mall (I can't go in any major dept store because all those pushy spray happy perfume women who spray then ask..that's asking for retaliation by me if they attempt to spray me), restaurants, wherever…all because of people and their desire to bathe in perfume, or chemically scented laundry detergent, dryer sheets, etc. If I'm around those chemical funk smells, I get an instant vein throbbing migraine. You can literally see the veins in my temples throbbing. Same goes for candles, air fresheners (ask my daughters aunt how many times I've pulled her air fresheners out of the outlets at youth group!), anything that has a fake smell does me in. It's instant migraine and sometimes heart rate speeds up, other side effects too. I can't go down the aisles in stores with cleaners in them, I can't go in stores that sell candles..sorry Bed Bath & Beyond, but your candle aromas knock me on my butt as soon as I walk through the door and have to turn right around and leave. Wonder if they realize that there are many who can't be around synthetic fake smells and they lose business because of their overwhelming displays of candles right at the door?
Some people think something isn't "clean" unless it smells like bleach or "lemony fresh". Too bad the "lemony fresh" is usually some chemical funk, if it were at least lemon essential oil then I might stand a fighting chance at being able to be around it.
Some people have taken offense and gotten in an uproar because finally those who have suffered health effects at the hands of others can finally take action against the person wearing too much perfume. I say about time! I mean really, we've fortunately now have bans on smoking in public places. I think the same should be done about having people who have too much perfume, cologne or other fragrance about them. I've blogged about this numerous times in past and was glad to see the article online a bit ago.
I fortunately work for myself, so don't have to deal with this in the work place. But every time I walk out my door I get nailed with the chemical funk of various laundry products coming through neighbors dryer vents and sadly there's nothing I can do about that, other than run down the stairs as fast as I can to escape the impending migraine that follows.
So, to those who want to wear all the harmful chemicals, bathe in them, wash & dry your clothes in them…that's your problem, not mine until your smells invade where I am. I opt to leave the area in order to save my head & my health, so don't cop an attitude because I choose to not inhale and because I agree with the article NaturalNews.com.
So, don't take offense and think we simply don't "like" your perfume or cleaners, etc….some of us can not be around them for health reasons…perhaps educate yourselves on the health effects of all the chemicals you're inhaling, wearing, bathing in and then maybe you'll understand why we don't want to be around.

BEREA, OH - MAY 01: Joe Haden #5 of the Cleveland Browns looks on during rookie mini camp at the Cleveland Browns Training and Administrative Complex on May 1, 2010 in Berea, Ohio. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)
Browns cornerback Joe Haden has been kicked off the practice field by coach Pat Shurmur for being too rough during Cleveland's final training camp workout open to fans. Haden was ordered to leave roughly an hour into Wednesday's practice by Shurmur, who declined to provide details of the incident during his news conference. Shurmur says he regrets using bad language in front of fans during an exchange with Haden, who pulled off his helmet and shoulder pads before retreating to the locker room. Shurmur was upset with Haden for tackling rookie wide receiver Travis Benjamin in the back of the end zone on a passing drill. Shurmur says his first concern is the safety of his players. Haden is facing a possible league suspension for reportedly failing a drug test.

Wadzanai Motsi '12 awarded Watson Fellowship
Grinnell, IA -
Grinnell College senior Wadzanai Motsi has been awarded a prestigious Watson Fellowship for one year of independent study and travel abroad. Motsi, an independent major in international relations from Zimbabwe, is one of only 40 students nationwide to receive the $25,000 fellowship from the Thomas J. Watson Foundation.
Motsi plans to use the Watson Fellowship to learn about the motivation for political activism among students and youth in Tunisia, Ghana, the Czech Republic, and Cambodia.
"My objective is to attend student union meetings and work with youth organizations as these countries gear up for national elections," Motsi said. "I plan to examine why young people are politically active and why they choose specific avenues to express their views."
At Grinnell, Motsi has served as vice-president of the student government association, a member of the women's varsity tennis team, and led a service trip to Nashville, Tenn. She hopes to return to Africa following her Watson year.
The Thomas J. Watson Fellowship Program offers college graduates of unusual promise a year of independent exploration and travel outside of the U.S. to foster effective participation in the world community. Within the past 10 years, 18 Grinnell students have won Watson Fellowships.
Grinnell College is a nationally recognized, private, four year, liberal arts college located in Grinnell, Iowa. Founded in 1846, Grinnell enrolls 1,600 students from all 50 states and from as many international countries in more than 26 major fields, interdisciplinary concentrations, and pre-professional programs.

provide answers to specific criteria set forward in Hill-Evans postulates. A causal link between Map and Crohn's disease remains a plausible hypothesis that warrants a new research approach and steps by industry and government agencies to identify and mitigate avenues of.
CONCLUSION 3. Available diagnostic tests and information about the biology of JD and methods to control it are adequate for immediate implementation of control programs.
CONCLUSION 4. There are significant gaps in knowledge about some areas relevant to control, and are discussed below under recommendations. The committee emphasizes that closing those gaps will improve control programs, although the need for information should not delay their implementation.
CONCLUSION 5. Control of JD will require a long-term commitment and iterative program implementation to maximize the chance of success. This commitment must come from all constituencies, including USDA, state agencies, and industry.
CONCLUSION 6. Because JD is currently of greatest concern to the dairy industry much of the emphasis in control recommendations is directed there. Other industries, however, should consider this an opportune time to deal aggressively with the disease, before infection prevalence increases and the disease becomes more widespread.
CONCLUSION 7. The USDA National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) prevalence surveys for JD have been a critical element in laying the groundwork for control programs.
CONCLUSION 8. The Voluntary Bovine Johne's Disease Control Program proposed by the National Johne's Working Group (NJWG) has most of the elements necessary for a successful control program, but prospects for success are and will be limited by a lack of uniform implementation among individual states.
CONCLUSION 9. The committee endorses the NWJG's efforts in educating producers and veterinarians, and advocates the expansion of these efforts.
JD control programs are based on knowledge about the transmission of Map, the organism's persistence in the environment, and methods for reducing exposure to Map in animal environments. Minimum requirements for control therefore include identification of major transmission points, diagnostic and

Ryan MacLeod Contributing Writer The Red Sox made the most of the San Diego Padres trip to Boston, sweeping them and increasing their lead in the AL East. The team is now 53-34 and 31-16 at home. Here are the 3 stars of the game. Game 86: Star 3: Edinson Volquez Volquez pitched fantastically for the Padres giving his team 6 strong innings of work. He allowed only 7 hits in that span but more importantly held the Red Sox offense to only 1 run. He walked 1 and struck out 6 in his outing. Star 2: Jon Lester Lester dominated in the pitchers duel, continuing to improve on the year. He pitched 7 innings giving up 6 hits and allowing only 1 run. He struck out 5 and walked 1. His performance brought his ERA down to 4.41 but again got a no decision. Star 1: Jonny Gomes Gomes only saw 5 pitches in his one at bat, but it was the last pitch that was the only one he needed to see. He came in to pinch hit for Snyder in the bottom of the 9th inning in a tied ball game and ended the game with a w...

Lipless crankbaits are great search baits all year long, but in the fall they're especially strong — not merely for the search process, but also for maximizing your catch once you've located bass.
This week I have been in the process of preparing for my first elk hunt in Arizona in a few weeks. I will be headed out with fellow Elite Series pro Clifford Pirch.
This week we're going to talk about how to approach new waters. Everyone is faced with this challenge no matter if you're a serious tournament angler or a casual recreational angler. It's a part of the sport.
Ok, last week I said we'd talk about how to find the "fall frenzy" bite when it wasn't obvious way back in the creeks. Here goes…
Every so often we get questions about fishing Florida, and for good reason. The weather's pleasant for those of you who want to thaw out for a while and there's always the chance of catching the bass of a lifetime. Florida can be tough, though. The water's shallow and there's vegetation everywhere. They don't jump in the boat. Some of the tried and true techniques that work in other areas of the country don't seem to interest Florida bass all that much. Here are a few tips that might help if you visit the Sunshine State this winter.
It's not too cold to use moving baits, not too cold to power fish and not too cold to cover water.
As professional anglers we travel thousands of miles on highways each year and hundreds of hours on the water. As a result we've developed some things that we do on a regular basis that helps to keep us safe. I want to take this week to share a few of them with you.
Have you ever had a brush with skin cancer? I have. And let me tell you, it can get pretty scary.
The fall frenzy doesn't go on all the time. It starts and stops depending upon the calendar and the weather.
The free Shorelines app gives anglers information on lake levels, generation schedules and updates on their favorite lakes.

The debates get back under way with a new one on the ethics of open PvP servers from Dave Bonnewell and Dan Fortier. Check back Saturdays for new debates and please, if you have anything you want discussed, let us know in the comment thread!
The whole debate is here.

I get high cause @#$% it, whats better to do?
I remember hearing about this, and I don't see what the debate is about. It was a despicable act by people who wanted to do something despicable. Should it have been allowed, or should there be some repercussion?
In an open PvP enviroment, it has to be allowed or else it wouldn't be open PvP. If the devs wanted to institute some sort of "Holy Ground" system for events like this then fine, but until then people will have to deal with these kinds of things.
There can't be any repercussions for things like this because it would set a bad precedent. Killing someone who is mourning the loss of a friend is obviously dishonorable, unless you're a sociopath. Punishing players for something that is considered dishonorable would leave too much grey area though. Attacking someone who was having an in-game wedding would also be dishonorable, but should that be punished too? Those are decisions I'm sure the dev team or GMs wouldn't want to make.
So in all, there is nothing to that can be done that wouldn't give rise to more problems. That said, PvP servers are not a place for people who value honor or morality. You'll only end up abandoning your honor and values or just becoming frustrated. If you allow players to randomly kill people on the street, they will randomly kill people on the street.

Is there anywhere we can get a video of it? Preferably on the Horde side, or whoever was getting ganked.

It is the nature of people to be jerks. If you are going to do this on a pvp server have it is a somewhat safe place or hire guards. Of course with a whole guild fighting even with guards it just would have been mass battle. The best plan would have been to make up 1st lvls on a pve server.
Also I think wow is not pvp enough. Meaning you can't have in faction fighting. Finding themselves facing not only the other side but their own as well might have caused a different outcome for gankers.

I think having an in-game wedding would be dishonorable, except maybe if the two are a couple in life. Otherwise, I'd PK em in a heartbeat

If you bring real life seriousness into a game.... You will have to, no matter circumstances, count on that some people are still only playing a game. If you want as many guarantess as you can possibly get that people around you take real life seriousness serious.... Then do them in real life, not inside an entertainment venue.
I think its a sick and twisted thing to do, sure.... But I am not surprised, and I am not exactly condemning it either. I have had two deaths in my social circle in the time I have been plahying WoW. Not one of them have I pulled into the game and its players, because I know it would not get the respect those people deserved, and I would be the one at fault for bringing thier lives and tragic ends to be a conversation piece inside a computer game.
Both sides are at fault here. One did wrong yes.. but the other gave them the opportunity to do so, as well. They walked in to be targets, willingly.

I will always miss pre-CU but I still enjoy the game.
Griefers are to be expected in any game no matter what the circumstances are surrounding events that are held.
I don't understand why some people have so much fun bringing misery to others but that's life, virtual or real.

I've read the editorial, and have read all of the comments based on that editorial, with a bit of confusion. Are we really debating the morality of someone's actions on a PvP server? Is that even possible to do?
The folks who attacked the 'funeral' were in no way wrong. I can't believe Bonnewell (I hope that's his name) was even a little serious? Calling them all kind of names, including dishonorable, because they attacked other players on a PvP server is beyond my comprehension.
Everyone, it's a game. Gathering to mourn someone online is just strange. In the real world, we attend funerals and wakes and send flowers and cards. That's the appropriate forum for expressing condolences and grief over someone's tragic passing, especially the passing of young person.
To hold a wake on a PvP server is stupifying to me.
Bravo to those who were playing the game that evening, and not engaging in some odd mourning ritual.

Live every day as if it were your last because one day it will be.
Sorry. I couldn't help but laugh at the mass ganking incident.
On a more serious note: When an invdividual chooses to start an avatar on a PvP server isn't there a 'PvP Clause' that pops up WARNING players what type of server/shard they are choosing to play on? I'm sure there is.
Anyway, I'm an avid fan of open PvP servers (I'm not a griefer btw) and enjoy the challenge of death being around every corner. That's what I signed up for- the EXTRA danger, excitement, joy, pain, sorrow and whatever else that comes with that server.
Thinking back to DAoC, I recall doing numerous EPIC fights and having rival guilds come to gank, grief, kill-steal and even harass the scheduled event. Does the server Mordred ring a bell? PvP is what you signed up for and that's what you should get- NON STOP!!!
Getting killed on horseback, on boat, immediately after teleporting or zoning into an area is the norm on PvP servers. Besides, there are designated havens where PvP is not allowed. Why not hold a funeral in that area instead of in an open field with full-fledged PvP? Doesn't make sense to me- you are in a PvP area and you are subject to getting killed at ANY moment.
Play smart and you won't have to worry about being/getting griefed. I really do feel bad for the people that got killed while attending the funeral but come ON- in an open PvP area? Sheesh.

I think a lot of it has to do if you view your MMORPG and roleplaying games as a alternative life or as a game. A roleplaying game in itself is a bit of a oxymoron since a roleplay is designed to be a alternative life or situation simulation, while a game is designed to be something carefree where actions don't have consequences outside the game.

Boom goes the dynamite!
Some people just like drama to fall right on top of them. If you want a guaranteed peaceful funeral to pay respect to a friend then do it some place that is guarded by your faction and only discuss such events amongst your friends. Bringing such information to the public ( a time a place ) makes you a target. Do it on a non pvp server. Do it in you factions city. Do it in a very low traffic area. If you must, bring muscle. It was avoidable. The horde were taunting the alliance to attack them and/or naive enough to think they would get left alone.
I know I'm not the only one that has noticed the WoW community is filled with the most annoying, disrespectful, ignorant, and childish individuals...heck most of them are kids.
The Alliance were a bunch of jerks but the horde were the idiots in this situation.

Im confused, ive played on WOW for yrs, (Ursin PVP server) and to my knowledge, you can only PVP in certain zones. Why hold something like this or a wedding etc in a PVP zone ? Starter zones, where major cities are, you cant be attacked by the opp side unless you are flagged or attack first ... so there are places to hold such things and not worry about being PK'd IMHO. Yeah I think its terrible if they knew what was going on and attacked everyone anyways, but I have to say, there are places to do such events and not worry about such things happening.

why must i be nice to people that have no clue, are lying, or are just stupid?
Dan Fortier: While we are taking a trip down memory lane let's revisit the other important facts in this case. First off they decided to hold a funeral in a PvP server and they were surprised someone attacked them? Even in the real world militants whose real life is jeopardy will defy convention to attack during so called 'time outs' so why is anyone shocked that a group of gamers who have nothing to lose would do the same given the opportunity?
um... even terrorists recognize and stand down for things like ramadan.
terrorists, you know, suicide bombers, people that blow themselves up ALONG with their victims? fanatical assassins? real life "monsters" if you will.
these weren't terrorists, they were little children/basement dwellers/idiotswithnolives that couldn't stfu for one bloody hour so someone could make a video to show the dead girl's parents?
maybe people are shocked because well, it was immoral and unethical and yes some people in America still have both of those and would probably have kicked the living dog mess out of street trash that would do such a thing.
could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please?

Die trying
I can understand the why when it comes to holding the funeral ingame.
But why not do it on a pve server then it wouldnt have been this messy.
Problem with pvp server is that there is no community trying to prevent gankers in this kind of event or prevent low lvl gankiing close to towns at least in wow.
l2 has worked that out better imo.
I know that if i would have been playing on that pvv server i wouldnt have attacked but thats me.

Ok...is this "debate" for real?
This has to be a joke?
For the sake of 'who knows what' I will go ahead and try to formulate some sort of thought concerning this event.
1- Games are for gaming.....not memorial services
2- Find a freaking safe place like the throne room or something
3- In the attempt to find an appropriate analogy...it would be like a bunch of Americans in the desert wastes of Iraq near the Iranian border having a funeral service. The similarites start with the fact that peple are dumb creatures in the first place to do something so stupid and not to expect anything bad to happen. The only difference being that when the terrorists attack those people...it is truly a tragedy because it's real. This is a freaking game....
aaahh...nevermind anything I said....I can't believe I'm wasting brain cells on this. It's a game...on a pvp server. Go somewhere else for your real life needs. Don't bring your life in to the game and then expect everyone else to suddenly change the way the game is played to appease you. If they did it would be nice...but to expect it is like waving your hand at the computer screen and thinking you actually have jedi powers while you say "You will not attack....You Will Not Attack....YOU WILL NOT AT.....*splat* Why did they attack me? Then your shoulder angels appear on your shoulders and both finally agree on one thing.....YOU'RE AN IDIOT!
Disclaimer: Not an idiot for having a memorial service or whatever...that's kinda nice in it's own right. But to expect other people not to attack on a pvp server.
Did these writers actually get paid for this debate? Where do I sign up for that gig? j/k The writers do a good job....I'm just jealous

A better debate would be to what extent does open PVP enhance or hinder the overall gaming experience. In that kind of debate you could bring up this instance in your discussion...but to imply ethics in this current debate is silly.

I actually thought it was a very cool idea. Look at how much hate they have generated over this. It makes them villains in the classic sense. The "good guys" have too much respect and honor to attack even thier most hated enemy during a wedding or a funeral, but the "bad guys" have no such compunctions. If I wanted to roleplay an evil villain, I can think of no better way to generate infamy than disrupting a ceremony others consider sacred.
And yes it is a game. And it took place on a PVP server. You would have to be extremely ignorant not to expect something like that, and extremely egotistical to think everyone else should behave the way you want them to.

after reading that article... doesn't sound like actual terrorists, sounds more along the lines of freedom fighters or rebels (depending on your point of view). thought i might've missed it, so i did a control+f and couldn't get past "ter"... the word terrorist/terorist/or any other typo i could think of appears to be NOT on this page.
so what do rebels/freedom fighters/whatever they're called, have to do with terrorists and terrorism?

Free College Football Pick: Tennessee @ NC State

College Football Betting Game Trends
Game Overview
The Georgia Dome will be hosting a pair of games in the first week of the college football betting campaign, and the first of the two will pit the Tennessee Volunteers up against the NC State Wolfpack.
Tennessee could have a bit of a frustrating season this year, as it is coming off of an end of the season that saw it score seven points or fewer in five of its last seven games. The Vols failed to make a bowl game, and that is going to put Head Coach Derek Dooley on the hot seat for sure. QB Tyler Bray is threw for just 1,983 yards and 17 TDs against six picks last year, and he led the nation's 102nd ranked offense. Now to make matters worse, his top receiver from last year, WR Da'Rick Rogers has been suspended for substance abuse, and now there isn't a receiver returning from last year's team that had more than 344 yards. There also isn't a back in the backfield that had more than 280 yards rushing. If there is some good news though, it is that this defense is at least capable of doing some damage. The Volunteers ranked No. 10 against the pass a campaign ago, and they return a slew of starters on this side of the ball. The bad news though, is that this is also the unit that is going to have to carry the team in the SEC this year, and there is no one that is confusing the Tennessee defense for one that is going to be one of the best in this stacked conference.
Many really like what NC State is bringing to the table this year. The ACC is relatively weak, and if this game is survived, the schedule sets up really nicely. QB Mike Glennon is back, and he is going to be one of the few truly experienced signal callers in the conference. RB James Washington could be a 1,000-yard back this year as well, especially if Glennon can keep the attack balanced. This could be a big season for WR Tobias Palmer, as he is the top returning receiver from a campaign ago after catching 37 passes for 496 yards and five scores. The Wolfpack have eight returners on defense, including a potential future first round pick in the NFL Draft in DB David Amerson. In all likelihood, this is going to be a strength for this team this year, and if NCSU can get an average defense parlayed with an above average offense, we see no reason why it can't at least be a 7- or 8-win team contending for the top bowls in the ACC.
We just don't understand why Tennessee is favored in this game. The Georgia Dome is typically SEC territory, but that doesn't mean that the Wolfpack fans aren't going to travel. We think that the Pack are going to be the side to take the initiative in this game early, and Bray won't be able to get himself out of the hole that he has dug. This is a much more important game for Tennessee, but NC State should be able to prevail in an upset. NC State 28 – Tennessee 17

Pope's Address to European Professors
"A New Humanism for Europe. The Role of the Universities"
VATICAN CITY, JUNE 25, 2007 (Zenit) - Here is the address Benedict XVI gave to participants of the European Meeting of University Professors, gathered in Paul VI Hall. The four-day meeting ended today in Rome.
* * *
Your Eminence,
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear Friends!
I am particularly pleased to receive you during the first European Meeting of University Lecturers, sponsored by the Council of European Episcopal Conferences and organized by teachers from the Roman universities, coordinated by the Vicariate of Rome's Office for the Pastoral Care of Universities. It is taking place on the fiftieth anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, which gave rise to the present European Union, and its participants include university lecturers from every country on the continent, including those of the Caucasus: Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. I thank Cardinal P�ter Erd�, President of the Council of European Episcopal Conferences, for his kind words of introduction. I greet the representatives of the Italian government, particularly those from the Ministry for Universities and Research, and from the Ministry for Italy's Cultural Heritage, as well as the representatives of the Region of Lazio and the Province and City of Rome. My greeting also goes to the other civil and religious authorities, the Rectors and the teachers of the various universities, as well as the chaplains and students present.
The theme of your meeting -- "A New Humanism for Europe. The Role of the Universities" -- invites a disciplined assessment of contemporary culture on the continent. Europe is presently experiencing a certain social instability and diffidence in the face of traditional values, yet her distinguished history and her established academic institutions have much to contribute to shaping a future of hope. The "question of man", which is central to your discussions, is essential for a correct understanding of current cultural processes. It also provides a solid point of departure for the effort of universities to create a new cultural presence and activity in the service of a more united Europe. Promoting a new humanism, in fact, requires a clear understanding of what this "newness" actually embodies. Far from being the fruit of a superficial desire for novelty, the quest for a new humanism must take serious account of the fact that Europe today is experiencing a massive cultural shift, one in which men and women are increasingly conscious of their call to be actively engaged in shaping their own history. Historically, it was in Europe that humanism developed, thanks to the fruitful interplay between the various cultures of her peoples and the Christian faith. Europe today needs to preserve and reappropriate her authentic tradition if she is to remain faithful to her vocation as the cradle of humanism.
The present cultural shift is often seen as a "challenge" to the culture of the university and Christianity itself, rather than as a "horizon" against which creative solutions can and must be found. As men and women of higher education, you are called to take part in this demanding task, which calls for sustained reflection on a number of foundational issues.
Among these, I would mention in the first place the need for a comprehensive study of the crisis of modernity. European culture in recent centuries has been powerfully conditioned by the notion of modernity. The present crisis, however, has less to do with modernity's insistence on the centrality of man and his concerns, than with the problems raised by a "humanism" that claims to build a regnum hominis detached from its necessary ontological foundation. A false dichotomy between theism and authentic humanism, taken to the extreme of positing an irreconcilable conflict between divine law and human freedom, has led to a situation in which humanity, for all its economic and technical advances, feels deeply threatened. As my predecessor, Pope John Paul II, stated, we need to ask "whether in the context of all this progress, man, as man, is becoming truly better, that is to say, more mature spiritually, more aware of the dignity of his humanity, more responsible and more open to others" ("Redemptor Hominis," 15). The anthropocentrism which characterizes modernity can never be detached from an acknowledgment of the full truth about man, which includes his transcendent vocation.
A second issue involves the broadening of our understanding of rationality. A correct understanding of the challenges posed by contemporary culture, and the formulation of meaningful responses to those challenges, must take a critical approach towards narrow and ultimately irrational attempts to limit the scope of reason. The concept of reason needs instead to be "broadened" in order to be able to explore and embrace those aspects of ...

Despite correctly spelling the word rhabdomancy in the third round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee on Wednesday Karelyn Malliet, a 13-year-old Shawano Community Middle School student, was not selected as a semifinalist in the competition.
Malliet was one of 257 contestants still remaining from the field of 281 going into the afternoon round but was not one of the 50 semifinalists chosen based on correct answers from the round and best scores from an earlier round.
She correctly spelled the word graupel, defined as "granular snow pellets," in the morning round and rhabdomancy, defined as "divination by rods or wands," in the afternoon round.
Malliet had been studying daily since at least last summer, using spelling websites, preparation material from bee officials and even her mother, who quizzes her on words.
She won the state bee in March to clinch the berth in the national competition in National Harbor, Md.

iPhone 5 and 5s rates with local nano SIM vs. basic unlocked phone rates
Hi guys, moving to Europe for job and will receive a stipend for cell phone so would like to not just throw that money away. Anyway, I was wondering how much the rates were using a local Nano SIM in an iPhone 5s (and 5) compared to a basic unlocked phone. Is it more expensive per call and text? If so, how much? I researched for a while and couldn't find it. Also, do these nano SIM cards cover you for data? If not, how do I go about that? and about how much are the rates? What are the odds Verizon would unlock my phone a year into the contract? Does jail-breaking the iPhone technically "unlock" it? If so, is that a good idea? Just to clarify, once my phone is "unlocked," I can use any country's local SIM card in the phone to make calls? Lastly, once I "unlock" my phone with Verizon, am I still under contract with them? If it is too much, I was just thinking of bringing my iPhone and using it where I could find wifi and getting a basic phone. Sorry for all the questions, just kinda nervous! TIA

Alright guys, let's see if we can figure this out. I remember there being a TNT episode in which the guys went to their friends list to start inviting people and someone was playing a game other than the game being played for TNT. The game this guy was playing made the guys chuckle at it, which began a deluge of people putting in obscure, strange and stupid games into their systems to get 5 seconds of attention. This lasted for a good long while, I remember.
I know that it's almost nothing to go off of, but it's killing me trying to think of which episode this was. If memory serves, it was quite awhile ago, maybe even before they started archiving TNT on the website.

More than 50 million people across the globe claim some kind of Scottish kinship, yet only about 213,000 visit Scotland each year to conduct ancestral research, spending around £100m.

As of Saturday, February 25, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
NORCROSS -- The Archer girls made the Class AAAAA state tournament in just their third season, but the Tigers' reward was a meeting with powerful Norcross in the first round.
The result was predictable.
"Norcross showed why it is the two-time defending state champion and Diamond DeShields showed why she is the best player in the country." Archer coach Ryan Lesniak said.
DeShields had 29 points, nine steals and six rebounds as the host Blue Devils rolled to an 85-36 victory Friday night over Archer, which has just one senior and no one 6-feet tall.
Norcross, meanwhile, has four starters at least 6-1, three NCAA Division I signees who are seniors and top junior prospects DeShields and Shayla Cooper.
Cooper had 21 points and Norcross, 24-5 and ranked No. 3 in the state coaches poll, dominated the backboards with Patrice Butler and Jasmine Kemp each getting 10 rebounds.
"I'm proud of how hard we played, which we've done all season," Lesniak said. "But there is really nothing you can do when the other team is that tall and that talented. There ability to score on stickbacks is unreal."
Norcross will host No. 10 Marietta (24-4) on Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the second round. Marietta, the No. 2 seed from Region 5-AAAAA, defeated Roswell 69-30.
Illustrating the height discrepancy, Archer (18-11) conceded the opening tip to Norcross by having 5-6 Danicka Brown jump against the 6-2 DeShields and putting no one around the center circle.
But the Tigers, the No. 4 seed from Region 8-AAAAA, were tied with the Region 7-AAAAA champs midway through the first quarter and down by just six points at the midpoint of the second. Two first-half streaks showed the Blue Devils' superiority, though.
Turning up the defensive heat, Norcross ran off 12 straight points in the first quarter and 14 in the second. When Cooper completed a four-point play just before the buzzer, the Blue Devils led 43-21 at halftime.
DeShields had 16 first-half points, 12 in the opening quarter, and Cooper scored 13, with nine in the second.
But the best for Norcross and worst for Archer was still to come.
The Blue Devils scored the first 16 points of the second half and led 66-29 going into a shortened fourth quarter.
DeShields had eight points in the third quarter and five more early in the fourth before taking a permanent seat with the other Norcross starters. Included in her 29 points was a trio of 3-pointers.
"We're playing well, but in the state tournament it is just about surviving and advancing," Blue Devils coach Angie Hembree said.
Tori Carter joined DeShields and Cooper in double figures with 10 points and Butler scored seven to go with her 10 rebounds. Sierra Butler had six points off the bench, while Kemp and Sydney Marshall each scored five. Bri Williams had five assists and the Blue Devils harassed Archer into 22 steals.
Freshman Madison Newby and sophomore Kayla Rogers each scored nine for Archer, with Newby hitting a trio of 3-pointers. Sophomore Alesha Mann had six points, as did Brown, Archer's only senior.
"Archer is very young," Hembree said. "They'll be good down the road."

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Eric Rasmussen threw five touchdown passes and
set two career school passing records, leading San Diego to a 41-35
win over Drake on Saturday.
Rasmussen set career marks for touchdowns (63) and completions
(427) as he threw TD passes to five different receivers.
San Diego (5-1) won its fifth straight game, its longest winning
streak since 1989, in the Pioneer League opener for both schools.
The Toreros won 51-46 at Drake last season.
Drake (3-4) lost despite four touchdowns from quarterback Connor
Jostes, who completed 26 of 41 passes for a school-record 398
yards. Jostes also scored on a 5-yard run with 5:59 left in the
game to cut the lead to 41-35.
Rasmussen threw a 26-yard scoring pass to Brett Labarrere with
7:15 left in the third quarter to break a 28-all tie. Rasmussen
then threw a 16-yard TD pass to Adam Hannula less than three
minutes into the fourth quarter for a 41-28 lead.
Rasmussen finished 23-of-35 for 392 yards.
The Bulldogs, who lost their seventh straight road game, had
their final possession end when Adam Combs intercepted a pass with
1:54 left at midfield.
Drake had 552 yards of total offense. Jon Taylor rushed for 120
yards, including a 77-yard touchdown run on third-and-inches, and
Jason Jones had 11 catches for 179 yards and touchdowns of 33 and
58 yards.

Delta Open to New Ventures Amid 'Final Stages' of Consolidation
Dec. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Delta Air Lines Inc. Chief Executive Officer Richard Anderson said the carrier's joint venture with Air France-KLM and Alitalia has had the "economic effect of merging" and will serve as a template for future accords.
Delta executives declined to comment today during a webcast investor conference about a Sky News report that Delta was among carriers exploring a tie-up with Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd., which has hired Deutsche Bank AG as an adviser.
Delta's SkyTeam Alliance global marketing group has sought new partners including China Airlines so they can sell seats on each other's flights and gain service within regulatory limitation. Delta, Air France-KLM and Alitalia have an even deeper arrangement that lets them coordinate fares and schedules for trans-Atlantic flights.
"The economic growth is going to be outside the U.S., and so I think we need to be certain that we're flexible enough to participate, either through joint ventures or other sorts of arrangements," Anderson said.
Delta can "use that model with Air France-KLM to get the same kinds of synergies on revenue and cost without trans-border mergers" with other carriers, Anderson said.
Delta today reiterated its plan to use free cash to pay down debt, with a goal of trimming it to $10 billion by 2012 from $15 billion now.
A stronger balance sheet will help Delta "be certain that we participate in what I sort of called the final stages of consolidation," as the industry continues to be more deregulated, Anderson said.
More Mergers
The global industry has completed about three-fourths of the mergers that are necessary, Anderson said, without specifying how many more he thinks should happen.
Delta bought Minneapolis-based Northwest Airlines Corp. in 2008, a deal that made it the world's biggest carrier until United Airlines and Continental Airlines combined in October to form the larger United Continental Holdings Inc. In September, Southwest Airlines Co. agreed to purchase AirTran Holdings Inc. in a cash and stock deal.
Joint ventures are critical because some countries, including the U.S., have laws limiting foreign ownership of airlines. Overseas companies can hold up to 49 percent of stock in U.S. carriers, or 25 percent of voting stock.
Virgin Atlantic is 49 percent-owned by Singapore Airlines Ltd., and analysts in the U.K. said any new deal involving Virgin may hinge on whether Singapore wants to sell its stake. Singapore Airlines declined to comment on its plans.
Delta is awaiting regulatory approval on a joint venture with Australia's Virgin Blue Holdings Ltd., and the carrier will "hopefully have a positive announcement on that within the next 60 days or so," said Glen Hauenstein, executive vice president of network and revenue management.
Seat Growth Capped
Delta said 2011 seating capacity will increase no more than 3 percent as it works on accumulating $2 billion in free cash to pay down debt.
Available seating will grow at roughly the same rate as the U.S. gross domestic product, with the biggest gains on routes to London's Heathrow airport, Tokyo's Haneda, Beijing and Shanghai, Delta said today in a regulatory filing.
Managing capacity helps airlines gain pricing power by matching the supply of seats with demand. Revenue in 2011 for each seat flown a mile, an industry benchmark, will meet the level last seen in 2008, before air travel slumped during the global recession, Atlanta-based Delta said.
This year will "end up being our best year in the past decade," Anderson said during the investor meeting in New York.
Operating Margin
The airline reiterated its projection for a fourth-quarter operating profit margin of at least 6 percent and narrowed the upper end of the range to 7 percent from as much as 8 percent previously, citing higher costs.
The shares slid 40 cents, or 3.3 percent, to $12.64 at 4:03 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. Delta has risen 11 percent this year.
Discussions with planemakers about a possible narrow-body order are planned for next year, Delta President Ed Bastian said.
The 542 jets in Delta's domestic fleet have an average age of 16 years, according to Bastian. An Oct. 25 filing showed that Delta's planes included about 40 narrow-body DC-9s that are 34 years old on average, more than 100 MD-88s that are 20 years old and 160 Boeing Co. 757-200s that are about 18 years old.
Delta has been retiring the oldest DC-9s and plans to cull some MD-88s in the coming years, Bastian said. Both those models were built by a Boeing predecessor.
"We do realize we need to assess our options over the long term," Bastian said. "We will be opening up conversations with manufacturers in the first part of 2011."
Airbus Option
Asked by an analyst whether Delta would consider the Airbus SAS A320 with new fuel-efficient engines, which the planemaker plans to introduce in 2016, Bastian said: "We'll have more data when we talk to the manufacturers."
Anderson said this month in a weekly message to employees that "we'll look closer at the A320 to see if it might merit deeper consideration for our long-term fleet plans." Boeing's commercial airplanes chief, Jim Albaugh, said in October that the business case for putting new engines on its single-aisle 737 jets "is not as compelling as we'd like to see."
When Delta does order new narrow-body planes, it will consider leasing and owning the aircraft outright, Bastian said.
The international wide-body fleet of 175 jets is about 11 years old on average, and "we're very comfortable with where we sit" with those planes, Bastian said.

The Mouse and the Motorcycle: A J. P. Beaumont Novelby Beverly Cleary
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Boy!" said Ralph to himself, his whiskers quivering with excitement. "Boy, oh boy!" Feeling that this was an important moment in his life, he took hold of the handgrips. They felt good and solid beneath his paws. Yes, this motorcycle was a good machine all right.
Ralph the mouse ventures out from behind the piney knothole in the wall of his hotel-room home, scrambles up the telephone wire to the end table, and climbs aboard the toy motorcycle left there by a young guest. His thrill ride does not last long. The ringing telephone startles Ralph, and he and the motorcycle take a terrible fall - right to the bottom of a metal wastebasket. Luckily, Keith, the owner of the motorcycle, returns to find his toy. Keith rescues Ralph and teaches him how to ride the bike. Thus begins a great friendship and many awesome adventures. Once a mouse can ride a motorcyle ... almost anything can happen!
In this imaginative adventure from Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary, a young mouse named Ralph is thrown into a world of excitement when a boy and his shiny toy motorcycle check into the Mountain View Inn.
When the ever-curious Ralph spots Keith's red toy motorcycle, he vows to ride it. So when Keith leaves the bike unattended in his room one day, Ralph makes his move. But with all this freedom (and speed!) come a lot of obstacles. Whether dodging a rowdy terrier or keeping his nosy cousins away from his new wheels, Ralph has a lot going on! With a pal like Keith always looking out for him, there's nothing this little mouse can't handle.
Supports the Common Core State Standards
Ralph the mouse craves excitement, but it seldom comes along to his mousehole in the sleepy Mountain View Inn. That all changes when a boy named Keith comes to the inn with his family. Ralph soon sees Keith playing with a toy motorcycle that's the perfect size for a mouse!
When Ralph sneaks out to try the motorcycle, his mother is sure he'll come to no good. Instead, it's just the beginning—for Ralph's motorcycling adventures and, even better, for an unexpected friendship.
Beverly Cleary's humorous fantasy adventure has delighted millions of fans worldwide. This engaging classic roars to life with brand-new illustrations by Jacqueline Rogers, and one of the most appealing characters you'll ever meet!
About the Author
Beverly Cleary was born in McMinnville, Oregon, and, until she was old enough to attend school, lived on a farm in Yamhill, a town so small it had no library. Her mother arranged with the State Library to have books sent to Yamhill and acted as librarian in a lodge room upstairs over a bank. There young Beverly learned to love books. However, when the family moved to Portland, Beverly soon found herself in the grammar school's low reading circle, an experience that has given her sympathy for the problems of struggling readers.
By the third grade she had conquered reading and spent much of her childhood either with books or on her way to and from the public library. Before long her school librarian was suggesting that she should write for boys and girls when she grew up. The idea appealed to her, and she decided that someday she would write the books she longed to read but was unable to find on the library shelves, funny stories about her neighborhood and the sort of children she knew. And so Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, Ellen Tebbits, and her other beloved characters were born.
When children ask Mrs. Cleary where she finds her ideas, she replies, "From my own experience and from the world around me." She included a passage about the D.E.A.R. program in Ramona Quimby, Age 8 (second chapter) because she was inspired by letters she received from children who participated in "Drop Everything and Read" activities. Their interest and enthusiasm encouraged her to provide the same experience to Ramona, who enjoys D.E.A.R. time with the rest of her class.
Mrs. Cleary's books have earned her many prestigious awards, including the 2003 National Medal of Art from the National Endowment of the Arts and the 1984 John Newbery Medal for Dear Mr. Henshaw. Her Ramona and Her Father and Ramona Quimby, Age 8 were named 1978 and 1982 Newbery Honor Books, respectively.
Among Mrs. Cleary's other awards are the American Library Association's 1975 Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, the Catholic Library Association's 1980 Regina Medal, and the University of Southern Mississippi's 1982 Silver Medallion, all presented in recognition of her lasting contribution to children's literature. In addition, Mrs. Cleary was the 1984 United States author nominee for the Hans Christian Andersen Award, a prestigious international award.
Equally important are the more than 35 statewide awards Mrs. Cleary's books have received based on the direct votes of her young readers. In 2000, to honor her invaluable contributions to children's literature, Beverly Cleary was named a "Living Legend" by the Library of Congress. This witty and warm author is truly an international favorite. Mrs. Cleary's books appear in over twenty countries in fourteen languages and her characters, including Henry Huggins, Ellen Tebbits, Otis Spofford, and Beezus and Ramona Quimby, as well as Ribsy, Socks, and Ralph S. Mouse, have delighted children for generations. And her popularity has not diminished. HarperCollins Children's Books recently announced that the film option for Cleary's classic book character, Ramona Quimby, had been sold to Fox 2000 and Denise DiNovi Productions. In addition, Portland, Oregon has proudly created The Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden for Children featuring bronze statues of Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Ribsy, in the park where Beverly used to play.
