World's first test tube burger served up. The verdict? It's not juicy enough
- From: AFP
- August 05, 2013
SCIENTISTS have unveiled the world's first lab-grown beef burger, serving it up to volunteers in London in what they hope is the start of a food revolution.
The 140 gram patty, which cost more than 250,000 euros ($373,000) to produce, has been made using strands of meat grown from muscle cells taken from a living cow.
Mixed with salt, egg powder and breadcrumbs to improve the taste, and coloured with red beetroot juice and saffron, researchers claim it will taste similar to a normal burger.
Professor Mark Post of Maastricht University in the Netherlands, whose lab developed the meat, says the burger is safe and has the potential to replace normal meat in the diets of millions of people.

Re: The last picture. So a food scientist is going to lift a just cooked - hot enough to burn fingers - burger straight from the frypan with his bare hands? What about food safety guidlines? If they want respectability their pictures should not be staged.

As a lifelong meat eater and burger connoisseur, I totally support this. I can't wait to try one myself. I can spare a cow and eat it, too!

I blame Bill Polian. After the Patriots DBs did a Mel Blount to the Colts WRs in the 2003 playoffs, he got the league to wussify the coverage rules even more than they did for Don Shula during the Marino years.
Of course, I may have been wearing Flying Elvis shaped sunglasses when I typed that, but that doesn't mean it's not true.
You're right Tiproast, and there are about 300 other examples of such accommodations. It is not even close to the game I grew up loving. Seeing a great athletic play called back and fined because the defensive guy is guilty until proven to be a non-Steeler is just annoying.
I really watch less and less of it. I watch NO non-Steelers games, and rarely watch the whole Steeler game. It's sad.
The NCAA is VERY exciting this year, though.

Yeah, college is more fun these days. And since I went to a small school, I don't have a huge emotional investment when I watch one top-25 team face another one.
Unless the team is coached by a doofus (e.g. Lane Kiffin). Then I root against them.
Let us not forget the price of beer at the games either....... This should add some fire to this thread !

Terror attack on Kenyan Catholic parish
Catholic World News - October 02, 2012
One child was killed and 6 others badly injured when a grenade exploded at a Catholic church during Sunday-school classes.
Residents suspect that the explosion at St. Polycarp's church in Nairobi was the work of Al Shabaab, an Islamic terrorist group based in Somalia. After the explosion, 3 Somali residents who had been taking photos of the church were taken into police custody.

Songs for Strength, Vulnerability & Courage. {Playlist}
Source: fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net via Audrey on Pinterest
A Good Song Can Make You Brave
One of the reasons I am so dedicated to my yoga practice is because it makes me feel strong. And I don't mean strong in the I-can-hold-plank-for-three-minutes sense, although that is a fun little side effect. I mean it fills me with calmness, equanimity and a steadiness of mind that leads me to believe I can handle life's challenges, quests and adventures. That, to me, is what strength really is.
Strength is also vulnerability. It takes a softness of heart to be open enough to voice ones dreams out loud and then to follow them in the face of setbacks and fear.
But sometimes we need little an extra push to inspire us to try harder and to forge ahead.
That's what the songs in today's playlist sound like to me.
Little nudges of strength, vulnerability and courage.
Because a good song can make you brave. If you let it.

Showing a home isn't always as easy as it sounds…
Let's talk about showings for your home for sale. I am frustrated with the lack of professionalism by some Realtors. Not all, just a few. And I am not the only one who is frustrated.
I am sure that it is the behavior of these agents that give those of us that work hard to facilitate every showing and keep home owners informed a bad name.
Are you considering selling your WNY home? Here are a few things you need to understand. Those Realtors that are working with buyers have a lot to do. First off they have to qualify their clients, then select properties that:
- Their clients can afford
- That has the features they desire
- Deal with people that may not be completely honest
- Difficulty in scheduling appointments
There are times that these agents are faced with trying to schedule last minute appointments and are meet with resistance. But as a homeseller you need to be aware that it is not always the agent's fault. I have a system in place to make sure that if someone wants to show a property last minute they can.
Life happens while you are making plans, things like:
- They drive up with clients and they don't want to go in
- There is a sign in a yard that wasn't listed on the MLS before you went out
- Criteria changes and the agent knows of a home that would be perfect
- The previous showing ran late, and the agent is running late
- perhaps the showing agent was late
- they were running late
- poor scheduling
- The agent may have notified the showing agent about a delay but the agent fails to notify you
Now here is something you need to know about. Sometimes agents make it impossible for agents to see a property. I constantly run into situations that I call to set an appointment and the agent does not get back to me. As I write this on Thursday, I have a home that I called on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to get into. We will not be able to see it because the instructions say 24 hour notice required. The agent hasn't bothered to return my phone call. I have an interested buyer and I cannot get the agent to call me back to confirm an appointment. I understand last minute not being able to reach but three days prior?
Before you decide to list your home with an agent, you should test and see how they handle showings. This is how you showings are going to be handled. Make sure that you see how they handle requests.

Great real world advice for sellers and agents alike.
Agents not returning calls for showing for day is a huge pet peeve of mine.
Next is sellers who want to sell but want 24-72 hours notice before "granting" a showing. Typically and not surprisingly, a huge percentage of these listings expire unsold. We can't sell it if we can't show it.
Sandi BaumanJuly 6, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Hmmmm…. this all sounds awfully familiar! Sellers often get very frustrated with agents that don't show up exactly on time, at all, don't give enough notice, or don't stay long enough. If they only knew… most of the time it's not our fault! You gave some great examples of what can happen along the way. My favorite? When you make the obligatory 24 hour notice appointment, drive your clients 15 minutes out of the way to the property, and then they don't want to go in.

There's little evidence that cinnamon can lower your cholesterol, and cinnamon isn't recommended as a treatment for high cholesterol. Eating a large amount of cinnamon (1 to 6 grams of cinnamon a day) can affect how your body processes sugar and fat. This could theoretically lower your cholesterol. However, there's not much evidence that this happens.
But even if cinnamon doesn't live up to its reputation for lowering cholesterol, it can be a healthy way to add flavor to foods, especially when used in place of adding more sugar or salt.
To reduce your cholesterol, focus instead on lifestyle changes:
If necessary, your doctor may prescribe cholesterol-lowering medication.

Is the Daily Mail rolling back on its "green taxes"
Since the paper
launched their campaign last month against "hidden green
charges on soaring fuel bills", they've used as the basis of their
attack the figure of £200 per year added onto the average domestic
bill. That figure, as we reported
here , was based on unsourced
claims made by Dr Benny Peiser from Lord Lawson's climate
skeptic thinktank, the GWPF.
But, in an
article on Friday , the Mail dropped that £200 claim in favour
of Ofgem's estimate of £100, or 10% per year on energy bills.
Peiser, when challenged by the
Full Fact website, referred to figures from the Department of
Energy and Climate Change, which in 2010 published detailed
information on the impact of
green policies on energy bills (PDF).
After accounting for savings to households from reduced
consumption, DECC calculates the gross increase to household bills
from green measures in 2010 is around four percent. That is clearly
much lower than the 15-20 percent used by Peiser to reach his £200
claim, and lower than the 10% calculated by Ofgem on which the
Mail's new £100 claim is based.
But whilst the Mail appear to have switched from a GWPF inspired
figure to citing Ofgem, Peiser, Lawson and Lord Turnbull from the
GWPF are all quoted
in the latest article:
"Benny Peiser, director of the sceptical
Global Warming Policy Foundation, called for hidden climate change
levies to be slashed. He said: 'If Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has
his way, Britons will be forced to subsidise renewable energy by
approximately £100billion in the next 20 years."
The piece even includes a rag out image of a previous Mail
headline claiming "Green targets to cost every household £500 a
Whilst the Mail may have quietly acknowledged the fiction of the
£200 figure they had previously splashed across their front page,
it doesn't seem to be distancing itself from the source.

Devildriver -- St. Petersburg, FL -- August 5th, 2009
Well as you all know the line up BLOWS! That's a given, so if you are reading this expecting anyother set than Devildrivers you are S.O.L. Honestly, just listen to one song, from anyband, just one... And it's the same song for 6-7 Hours. There, you know the set of everyone else
Anywho.... We got there around 4ish and we heard from friends who had already gone in and left (21+ had that option) said all the bands blew...BLEW BLEW BLEW! And I already knew that, so we shot the shit for about an hour, and finally they say "Hey guys, we're gonna go back and hang with Dez, see you later." These guys are personal friends of Dez and the older gentalman owns a nice resturant and gave Dez 4 Nice bottles of wine and a lot of good weed (so he says haha). So we toyed with the idea of going in around 5ish, knowing Devildriver doesn't go on till 10, so we said "Fuck it... Lets go to the movies." So we did, and saw Bruno, decent movie if you liked Borat, but besides that... We got out 30 minutes till 10, and headed back to the venue.
We sat through the last bands 2 songs, well it might have been one... Sounded sooo familiar... After them, ALL THE HARDCORE AND SCENE KIDS LEFT! Like 100% Gone!!! We just got there, and we were on the barricade... That's SAD! But fuck them, if they don't want some "good" stuff, they can go to that Hot Topic Closing Time Sale... More Metal For Me
Devildriver even went on to play TWO Encores when I don't think they had all tour. After the 1st one, appartently the sound man said to stop and Dez said "Stop? Are you gonna fine me? Huh? Are you mother fucker?! Are you gonna fine, ME?! Are 'These Fighting Words'?!"
1. End of The Line
2. The Mountain
3. Not All Who Wander All Lost
4. Pray For Villains
5. I've Been Sober
6. Nothing's Wrong
7. I Could Care Less
8. Clouds Over California
9. Die (And Die Now)
10. Back with a Vengence
11. Before the Hangman's Noose
12. Meet The Wretched
-----Encore----- (Not Suppose To Happen)
13. I Dreamed I Died
14. These Fighting Words
Btw, if you were wondering, Shirts were $20, but Devildriver is mostly out of ALL Sizes. Certian Shirts are only in XL and XXL, others in just Small.
Also, I found out 1st hand about a Certain METAL tour that will be returning next year... In Full Touring Mode... It's been gone from touring since 2007, so next year, we get it back. I know two confirmed bands

Doctors Without Borders Creates Virtual Refugee Reality
Imagine what it's like to be forced from your home by the violence of war.
You are desperate to survive, can't say goodbye to your family, are without food and shelter and walk for days.
Can't quite picture this ordeal happening to you? There's a way you can.
International humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders has put together a virtual refugee camp on the Web.
The online camp will give you a notion of how the 42 million refugees and internally displaced people all over the world live.
During the virtual journey, you will confront the obstacles that refugees from countries like Sudan, Somalia and Palestine experience every day—and you'll hear stories from refugees fighting for survival.
Under international law, refugees are entitled to food, water, shelter, medical care and protection from violence in the country they flee to; yet these rights are often disregarded.
Barry Gutwein, a logistician for Doctors Without Borders, describes the situation in the Congo in 2006:
The only thing separating the displaced people from life-threatening dehydration was a three-and-half inch diameter exposed pipe that was snaking through the jungle to the town. Imagine the drainage pipe attached to your kitchen sink and you will begin to picture what was sustaining these people.
For many refugees, returning home is a wish—not a real option.
A refugee from Colombia says of returning to his homeland, "We are here without work. We don't know what we are going to do when we are told to leave. Our children don't go to school. But how can I even think of going back? It would be like a death sentence."
For these people there is no easy solution, but there are ways you can help.

Core 2 Duo preliminary benchmarks
updated 09:15 pm EDT, Wed June 14, 2006
Core 2 Duo benchmarks
Preliminary benchmark results for the Core 2 Duo, the next interation of the CPUs found the first-generation Intel-based Macs, show significant performance improvements over an over-clocked AMD FX-60 and will be bring better power efficiency, according to ExtremeTech: "The Core microarchitecture has us excited. Those performance numbers look extremely promising. Remember, the AMD-based system we tested against was roughly the same performance as the FX-62, but the Core 2 Duo was not the highest-end Extreme SKU. Rather, it was the CPU one step down. And it still put a serious hurt on the AMD system. It's worth noting that the Intel systems we tested on were noticeably quieter than the overclocked FX-60s. We weren't in an environment where we could make any real noise measurements, but it was a salient reminder that the Intel chips have a maximum thermal rating of 65W, while the AMD chips are rated at 110W. It looks from these early tests as if Intel's boasts of dramatically better performance with dramatically less power utilization are going to come true." Apple may use the new Core 2 Duo chips for future versions of its MacBook, MacBook Pro, Intel iMac, and Mac mini.

Charles Russell art fetches millions at Nevada auction
RENO, Nev. (AP) -- Some 30 Charles M. Russell works fetched millions of dollars at auction in Reno, with one painting symbolizing the railroad's effect on American Indians drawing $1.9 million and another depicting a Native American chief selling for $1.1 million.
Other top prices at the annual Coeur d'Alene Art Auction on Saturday included $1.7 for a Frederic Remington painting featuring a group of Indians and $1.5 million for a Thomas Moran painting depicting an Arizona gulch.
Auction organizer Mike Overby says Russell artwork is highly sought after and commanded from $25,000 for small sketches to the $1.9 million for his 1924 water color "Trail of the Iron Horse."
The painting shows a group of Indians on horseback looking down at railroad tracks with the sun setting on the plains in the background.

And i mean that they passed in your lifetime as im sure we all listen to some older musicians that have passed before we were even born.
Something about his music is really charming to me and i hate that i didn't find his music sooner.

For John Blonde, singer of the band House Of Blondes, music is all about atmosphere, energy and sound, or at least that is the approach he and his band took when recording their debut album, Clean Cuts, released in early 2012. The electro-synth trio of Blonde, Synth player and guitarist Chris Pace and drummer and bassist Brian McNamara has a list of influences as long as your arm, but the sound it creates is distinctly its own.
It all began in 2007 with an epiphany after Blonde attended a particularly inspiring Genesis P-Orridge and Thee Majesty gig at Brooklyn's Knitting Factory. The electro genre was calling his name, but he needed some help from the only guy he knew was capable of getting the sound he wanted: Chris Pace. After a 20-minute jam session at Pace's place, involving Blonde beating his hand on a couch among other things, Pace was able to carve out what is now the song "Anhedonia." McNamara joined in 2011, and the band officially became a trio. As for the name, it was in the works for a while. "I've kept a small book of fake band names since I was 9," Blonde says. "'House Of Blondes' was in that book. 'Short Stuff' and 'Marry Me Freddie Mercury' were also in that book, so competition obviously wasn't stiff."
The improvisational tactic begun with Blonde and Pace carried through as the band recorded Clean Cuts, which leans toward electro-pop. The ethereal vocals on "Do It Yourself" peg an '80s feel while the Temper Trap-esque drum line modernizes it. But there is also a "sadness to the tracks," as stated by Blonde in a recent interview. It can be heard in the dissonance and release between the synth and bass in a song like "Lower," the chords reminiscent of a baroque classical piece. There is a method to their improvisation; it is not something out of nothing, but playfulness with a plan.
You don't have to take my word for it though, as Clean Cuts is now available on Spotify for all to hear before House of Blondes plays a pair of shows in New York this summer; June 12 at Pianos and July 8 at Spike Hill.
Artists, submit for your own chance to be the Sonicbids Spotlight.

Charter school supporters rightly emphasize the educational choice these public schools provide to parents and kids, giving them different instructional options that might be better suited to the way a student learns. Some kids who have struggled in traditional public schools have thrived in charters.
Detractors point out the uncertainty and risk in creating a new school, highlighting examples of failed attempts such as Nampa Classical Academy, which folded after just a year because of poor oversight and financial mismanagement.\
Two bills in the Idaho Legislature attempt to improve the charter process. One is full of measures that would reduce the chances of more high-profile failures and deserves strong support. The other would provide funding for building costs, and it should be handled more cautiously.
House Bill 221 addresses many of the oversight pitfalls that have led to disaster, and the measures in the bill are all logical and reasonable. They are:
* Requiring charter schools to meet performance standards and be subject to renewal every five years,
* Creating performance contracts
* Allowing the Department of Education to reduce the front-loading of charter school funding if notified by the school's authorizer that the school is fiscally unsound
* Allowing additional entities, including colleges, universities and some nonprofits, to authorize charter schools
All strong ideas in a logical, well thought-out bill.
As for House Bill 206, which would provide building money for charters, supporters are correct when they point out that traditional public school districts have the advantage of being able to put bonds up to a vote for the purpose of constructing new schools. Charters don't have that option.
If passed, this would cost $1.4 million next year, $2.1 million the following year and either increase or decrease after that in correlation with increases or decreases in the state's education budget.
Some charters have been able to raise money and build shiny new buildings. Others have had to use portables or makeshift facilities. But the same can be said for traditional public schools, depending on district size, affluence of the community, etc.
Many charter schools also have the advantage of serving as their own school districts, with separate boards and administration. So determining "equity" among schools and districts isn't as simple as it sounds.
And it's safe to say traditional schools won't be happy that House Bill 206 would be funded with money that had been set aside for school reform.
With the stronger oversight promised should House Bill 221 be approved, there could be a case to be made for giving charters building money. But they should have to prove their viability first. Taxpayers shouldn't be on the hook for a shiny new building for a school that crumbles the way Nampa Classical Academy did.

Can teams trump technology in the new healthcare debate? I ask this question because I continuously see many patients referred to the Southern Arizona Limb Salvage Alliance (SALSA) who have been relegated to amputation. This is not because they have not had access to technology. In fact, most have had extensive work done by well-intentioned clinicians. What frustrates me, and I know my SALSA partners agree as well, is the lack of access to a team.
Recently, I was sitting in front of an X-ray of a patient who had extensive endovascular intervention. However, the patient had no follow through to manage her complex wound when the isolated procedure failed. Why?
The cynic would suggest that it is because the procedure was reimbursed well but the necessary healing and preventative follow-up was perhaps less fiscally rewarding. Therefore, one may feel it easier to justify doing nothing or cutting the limb off.
The point is that the current discussion on healthcare must work out some sort of balance to support medical and surgical teamwork instead of simply what we call one off "proceduralism". I know there must be a way. Too many smart people are involved and committed for this opportunity to pass.

"I joined the Couch to 3.1 program at the Springfield MO location in May 2012, determined to complete my first 5k, but it turned out to be so much more than that. Training with a group was so different from anything I had ever done before and I absolutely loved it. I found myself looking forward to seeing everyone and tracking our progress together as the weeks went by. The information and support I received from all of the trainers was fantastic; they were always so motivating and uplifting. I finished that first 5k and have gone on to do several others, in addition to my first sprint triathlon. I think the program is a wonderful starting point for people at any level that want to get fit, meet new people and have a great time running!"
Kesta Smith (Couch to 3.1 Coach) says:
"I starting running with the very first Couch to 3.1 group at the Springfield store location back in June 2011. All of this is pretty amazing because I came pretty close to not even entering the store out of fear. I was overweight (over 200 lbs) and was not a runner. Since that day, I finished that group and went on to do several 5ks, a 10k (March 2012), and my first half marathon (Nov 2012) with the best running partner I could ask for, my husband Dwayne. I have lost 30 pounds and 40+ inches; my before and after photos show quite a physical transformation. I have found a love and a passion for running along with encouraging others to start running and living a healthy, active lifestyle."

The Fate of the Common Core: The View from 2022
by Frederick M. Hess • Mar 26, 2012 at 8:31 am
Funny story. A few weeks back, I was out in DC after one of my AEI working groups. It got late and just a few of us were left, including ed tech gurus Jonathan Harber, Larry Berger, and Mick Hewitt. Anyway, walking out of Panache after too many cocktails, we stumbled upon a DeLorean. One thing led to another. Long story short: they built a time machine and I test-drove it. Where'd I go? I hopped forward a decade to 2022, skipped the chance to meet my future self or check out the iPad 13.0, and instead avidly downloaded the most intriguing edu-titles I could find (sad, but what can you do?).
Anyway, wanted to share one title that's uber-relevant today. It's Great Promise Thwarted: The Humbling History of the Common Core, 2008-2018. It'll be written by my good friend, eminent NYU edu-historian Jonathan Zimmerman, and e-published by Harvard University Press, in 2022.
It's worth quoting a long excerpt from the book's conclusion:
For a brief time, during 2010-2012, the success of the Common Core seemed assured. Proponents had compelling arguments. Existing state standards were generally awful. The No Child Left Behind accountability system designed to accommodate variation in state standards and assessments was problematic. Conservative supporters argued that the Core would make it possible to do away with intrusive federal regulations governing accountability and easier to provide transparency and accountability with a light touch. Moreover, the Core would make it possible to credibly compare student and school performance across the nation, while allowing mobile students or those learning online to move across schools or programs with minimal disruption.
As I perused Zimmerman's account, I could only feel for my many friends working so hard to make the Common Core a success. But then I thought, "Wait a minute. The future hasn't happened yet. It's like Marty McFly using his knowledge of the future to change the future. They can still alter course." Will they? I suppose that's up to them.
(Oh, and by the way, my favorite paper from the 2022 AERA conference? "When All Your Hurtful Yesterdays Become All My Gendered Tomorrows": Transgressive Ontologies Disrupting the Heteronormative Praxis Posed by a Post-Foulcauldian, Neo-Ravitchian Autoethnography of the Lived Lives of Three Indigenous Culture-walkers in a Neo-liberal Dystopia.)

Sovereignty, Collaboration and Continuing Challenge: A History of Tribal Libraries in San Diego County
Biggs, Bonnie, Whitehorse, David, Special Libraries
In Southern California, libraries have sprung up on seven of the 18 small American Indian reservations in rural San Diego County.[2] These unique facilities generally struggle to survive in harsh reservation economies which have been further marginalized by the worst regional economic depression since the 1930s. Yet they do survive, even as surrounding local, county, and regional library systems have experienced severe fiscal cutbacks which greatly reduce library services and threaten closure of numerous rural branches.[3] The history of Indian libraries in the region presents a striking picture of tribal self-determination and exercise of sovereignty in determining and meeting tribal information system needs. It further delineates the challenges and opportunities facing tribal populations and governments as they develop collaborative relationships with the American macro-culture. Generally, the framework for the development of these small library facilities was the amendment to the Library Services and Construction Act;[4] however, the existence of tribal libraries did not begin with federal policy. Rather, the function of tribal and cultural libraries, if not the generally accepted form, has been a part of American Indian communities since before the Colombian interchange.
For untold centuries, Native Americans have passed their unique legacy to successive generations through an ancient but fragile chain of oral tradition. Today, within the complexity of contemporary life in the United States, this heritage of American indigenous culture is reflected in the habits, customs, and traditions of the "Knowledge Seekers," as well as the "Wisdom Keepers" who live within Native American tribes and maintain links with traditional tribal knowledge, customs, and history. Tribal Elders with knowledge of traditional Indian technology, government, natural science, folklore, religion, art, natural healing, legend, and tribal history serve as living libraries for their communities (emphasis added).[5]
Special collections including tribal histories, material culture, early ethnographic records, and tribal governmental archives were scattered throughout the San Diego reservation country. In the early 20th century, principally in the care of hereditary leaders or their families, tribal offices, or housed haphazardly in community buildings or storehouses. Of note were collections held by a number of small missions and asistencias[6] including Santa Ysabel, San Antonio de Pala, and Catholic chapels at Jamul, Sycuan, Pauma, and Barona.[7] The fate of many of these collections is unknown, owing in part to the termination of many California tribes in 1953, and discontinuities in tribal government and tribal development in the termination era extending to 1971.[8] The majority of tribal archives from the period were retained by particular reservations or were duplicated in major part at the Bureau of Indian Affairs Sub-Agency at Riverside, CA.[9] Until the early 1970s, there was little systematic assembling of library collections at each reservation, and a comprehensive cataloging of Indian "libraries" in the county was nonexistent.
Indian Library Development
The formal and expanding entrance of Indian tribes into the realm of library development occurred in the post-termination era. Jack D. Forbes, in his early advocacy for the establishment of native-controlled information systems and repositories, proposed that American Indian people living on or near reservations had library and information needs in two broad areas. The first need was for the library services common to other ethnic groups. The second was specialized informational needs unique to the Indian population as a whole. He further defined the latter as having imbedded needs for the preservation of cultural-historical heritage. Susan Dyal's Preserving Traditional Arts: A Toolkit for Native American Communities, or Going Home: The California Indian Library Collections Manual are two sources that have assisted local San Diego County tribes in preserving invaluable collections of material culture and given guidance in locating materials of local significance. …

Welcome! Arrowheadology.com is the #1 arrowhead and Indian artifact community on the web. Join us now!
What are the best options for displaying arrowheads on a wall. A display case /shadowbox with adhesives or with foam? I see some collections that appear to have some kind of adhesive. Will the adhesive come off the arrowhead?
Thanks for your help,
I know it can be done but I won't do it. I used regular caseboxes with foam and that is a good way to go if mounting vertical (LOL!)
Wife was dusting the frame on the wall (at least 30 pound anchor). It "fell off" and slid to the floor. Only one point was damaged, but all were knocked to the bottom of the frame. Glass broke. Was a triangle frame. Point damaged was one of my absolute best and it was only the very last 1/32 of the needle tip that broke off. Still have that tiny piece, it's too small to glue that's how small. But hurt bad. You can see how tore up I am. LOL.
Just make sure they are as sturdily attached everywhere it has attachments and put in a place where no one can bunk into them and remember to dust gently.
I don't have anything hanging on the wall, just too easy if someone did break in. All is secure except for recent finds. Someone I know took pictures of his points and put them on the wall, hahahahahaha Looks pretty good and it's his stuff!@
Hey Tom, a lesson to be learnt. Don't let the wife dust yer stuff...Teets
Not all those who wander are lost.
LOL, she doesn't touch any of my stuff and it really shows!! Got me bottled up in a dusty corner.
I've had these trays up on the wall in my artifact room for over 15 years and have never had any problems with them falling off.

"Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside."
I think I'll have to take tomclark's advice. I have a wife that likes to dust "and" I have 3 young children. Oh! Wait! What I mean is, I have a wife that "dislikes" dusting but does from time to time "and" I have 3 energetic young children.
Well, hopefully someone saves us Manoman.
This is my best guess.
Riker style cases I think you are referring to are the cheap black cardboard cases with the white very loose cotton looking foam which doesn't create enough support. The thin back wall also will bow under pressure and not giving adequate support behind the foam to hold the arrowheads. (I have one like this and I dislike it).
The lockable wood cases that you see commonly they have a soft polyurethane foam in there with very little room, if any between the foam and the glass. The upward pressure from soft foam contours the artifact and the glass pressure holds them securely in place.
If I'm correct what different kinds of foam can you use? Which is the best choice?
But the other way I'm not sure of. The displays cases that you see that have no foam and the arrowheads seem to be hot glued to the back wall, or they might have some kind of anti-gravity mechanism, or mayby it is an old Indian trick.
Is it hot glue or other means?
I've altered some cases by cutting a groove about 1/8" width x 1/4" deep around the inside of the frame about 3/4"or slightly less from the glass. I cut a piece of black or grey felt slightly larger than the glass, then add underneath some poly stuffing about 1/2" thick, then a very stiff pice of hard cardboard to fit inside the frame. Cut 4 pieces of wood about 4" long, about 1/8" thick with the ends cut at a 45 degree angle.
Place the points on the felt with the backing & the hard cardboard beneath it, then place the frame with the glass attached over it. Press the individual stikcks at a 45 degree angle into the 4 corners by feel & compressing it so that the sticks hold the hard carboard & the points to the glass.
Riker cases can be fixed to hold points in a vertical wall display, but they are just not as attractive as the hardwood frames. Take a piece of cardboard (or 2) and cut it the size of the riker box bottom, then put it beneath the poly stuff. That will stiffen up the cardboard case enough to hold most points. I screw a hanger on the back then hot glue the inside of the screws so they won't come out.
Hardwood cases are not all the same. Good ones will have the 1" or 2" foam tight against the glass, so if you use a thin color sheet (I use color fabric) points will stay where you put them. However, cheaper made hardwood cases sometimes use a too thin plywood for the back, which will bow out in the center over time. 1/4" ply or thicker is best. Even then, if you mix thicker points with thin points in a frame, the thinner ones may eventually slide (a piece of double-stick tape helps). In a good hardwood case, you can put thick relics and they will stay when hung up. Just make sure the hangers are well fastened and the screws are into something other than drywall- lol!
i use small cuts of leather strips behind my thin points so they can not be seen some other ways i have stoped points from sliding is to use old t-shirts behind my foam to thicken the frame this works well i have seen just about everything used even carpet padding cut to fit the frame then covered with felt or a colorful fabric such as a old tshirt they come in many colors and is my fabric of choice, just cut it a little bigger than the foam that you cover and use a butter knife to tuck it down and it looks great !!!

There's nothing quite like coming home to the aroma of bread baking in the oven. You can't go wrong when you serve this time-honored classic to your family. Use it for sandwiches, toast, or just sliced and slathered with butter to serve with hot soup.
- 5 3/4 - 6 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 2 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon shortening, butter or margarine
- 1 teaspoon salt
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups flour and yeast; set aside. In a medium saucepan, heat and stir the milk, sugar, shortening and salt till the mixture is warm (120 -130 degrees F) and the shortening is almost melted. Add to the flour mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6-8 minutes total). Shape into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl; turn once. Cover and let rise in a warm place till doubled (about 45 minutes).
Punch dough down. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough in half. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Lightly grease two 8 x 4 x 2-inch loaf pans. Shape each piece of dough into a loaf by patting or rolling. To shape the dough by patting, gently pull the dough into a loaf shape, tucking edges underneath. To shape dough by rolling, roll each half into a 12 x 8-inch rectangle. Roll up tightly, starting at a narrow edge. Seal with fingertips as you roll. Place the shaped dough in the prepared loaf pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place till nearly doubled (30-40 minutes).
Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven for about 40 minutes, or till the crust is golden and the bread sounds hollow when tapped. If necessary, cover loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning. Remove from pans immediately; cool on wire racks.

so I just developed C-41 film for the first time with the Tetenal C-41 Press Kit.
The negatives look great as far as density goes. One problem however is that I have TONS of little circles all over the base side of the film.
I've never had anything of this magnitude happen with black and white. Is there a way to get rid of the spots? rewash and restabilize?
They are 4x5 negatives 160s processed in the Combiplan tank. I'll try to take a photo of the spots tomorrow when there's daylight. In the meantime, here's a photo on the light table.

Roast Chicken with Lemon and Tarragon Butter
- 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon, crumbled
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (3- to 4-lb) quartered chicken
Preheat oven to 500�F.
Stir together butter, zest, tarragon, salt, and pepper.
Pat chicken dry and arrange, skin sides up, in a shallow roasting pan (1 inch deep). Loosen skin on chicken by gently working your fingers between skin and meat, keeping skin attached on 1 side and being careful not to tear skin. Rub butter mixture evenly under skin of each piece of chicken, then rub top of chicken with butter remaining on your hands. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake chicken in middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted 2 inches into fleshy part of chicken (do not touch bone) registers 170�F, about 30 minutes.

Lady Antebellum Don't Think They're Worthy of Being Made Into Dolls
Tim and Faith have a set; Taylor Swift has one, too. But for some reason, 'Own the Night' trio Lady Antebellum don't think they're worthy of having dolls made to look like miniature versions of themselves just yet.

Belly Up to Tailgate Homeboys at Johnny Angell's in Anderson
When Brian Glenn called Chris Crumpton almost a year and a half ago, he hoped he would have more in common with Crumpton than geography. Glenn knew Crumpton was an Anderson-based musician, but he was surprised to find he had more in common with Crumpton than he ever could have imagined.
Both musicians have day jobs, large families and are ex-military. They share a love of harmony and a similar view of what an acoustic duo should be. Even their influences overlapped, although Glenn's love of bluegrass and country clashed a bit with Crumpton's loyalties to Rush. The duo decided to overlook this single wrinkle and form an acoustic duo that has performed in Anderson for more than a year now. Dubbed the Tailgate Homeboys, Glenn and Crumpton will perform at Johnny Angell's this weekend.
"Chris and I love all types of music, but our heart is around the campfire or tailgate," Glenn said. "We try to play the newest and oldest songs in all genres and switch things up at a moment's notice."
Glenn said he knew the collaboration with Crumpton would work after only a couple of rehearsals. The duo's first gigs at Bleu Voodoo in Greenville paved the way for many more in the Upstate as a whole. They played the Johnny Angell's soft opening in late May and Glenn said the duo thinks they've found a spot that suits the varied material they can play.
Crumpton said he and Glenn thrive at Johnny Angell's because the establishment draws people of all ages. This provides a challenge for the duo and keeps things interesting for them. Crumpton said he and Glenn have changed their entire set after noticing a surge of younger or older customers coming through the door.
"It's one of the most fun venues to play because the crowd is so diverse," Crumpton said. "We routinely go through the crowd and get information on birthdays, bridal showers or bachelorette parties; whatever we can use to make our set the best it can be for the crowd."
Crumpton said the duo performs material from many different genres. Material from the Doobie Brothers makes constant appearances in the set in the form of "Listen to the Music" or "Black Water." Glenn said he and Crumpton naturally gravitate toward material with strong harmonies so they can both showcase their voices.
The duo plays acoustic versions of rock songs from .38 Special and then switches to country ranging from Jason Aldean to the more traditional leanings of George Jones. Glenn said he and Crumpton have spent set breaks huddled over a phone so they could pull up Prince's "Purple Rain" or Queen's "Fat Bottom Girls" so they could satisfy a request.
"We have used online lyric sheets and sound clips so we can do the best we can with it," Glenn said. "We would play 'The Electric Slide' if we had to, but $20 bills usually help."

Afghan Air Force (AAF)
Afghan National Army Air Corps (ANAAC)
The Afghan Air Forces long-term development strategy as of early 2012 included the creation of an air force that can support the needs of the ANSF and Afghan Government by 2016. This force will be capable of presidential airlift, air mobility, rotary and fixed-wing close air support, casualty evacuation, and aerial reconnaissance. The AAF also plans to be able to sustain its capacity through indigenous training institutions, including a complete education and training infrastructure. The air fleet will consist of a mix of Russian and Western airframes. Afghan airmen will operate in accordance with NATO procedures and will be able to support the Afghan Government effectively by employing the instruments of airpower.
AAF plans, however, were ambitious and indicative of a need to balance Afghan Government aspirations, necessity, and affordability. As of early 2012, AAF capacity and capability remained extremely limited and future progress was challenged by significant obstacles, including inadequate national education and literacy levels as well as a nascent pilot training program. Corruption also remained a significant problem in the AAF, where a criminal patronage network is involved in numerous illegal activities. ISAF and the Afghan Government continue to work together to combat corruption, and as of the end of the reporting period, numerous investigations were ongoing. Nevertheless, the Afghan Government had yet to demonstrate the political will to address corruption and remove and prosecute corrupt officials on a consistent basis.
Most aircraft still remaining by 2001 were destroyed by coalition forces in Operation Enduring Freedom. What was left of the Afghan Air Force was a few dozen pilots, most of whom had not flown since 1996, occupying a part of Bagram Air Base near Kabul. As part of the establishment of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) in 2002, an Air Corps was subsequently established within the new Afghan National Army (ANA).
Afghanistan required an air force of a modest size. Few would dispute the need for a transport capability, but some fighting power was also required if the Afghan National Army was expected to operate independently of US air support. Therefore, at some point, surely before the year 2020, a political decision would have to be made to invest in the reconstitution of an Afghan Air Force with a fighting capability. In the shorter term, the existing ANAAC, which suffered from ageing and antiquated equipment, required immediate investment merely to establish an air lift capacity.
The ANAAC was in a very poor state as of late 2004. It lacked airworthy combat planes and possessed only a few attack helicopters. Airlift capabilities were very modest, with maybe 10 utility and attack helicopters and a few light transport planes at their disposal. Maintenance technicians were being trained, but no pilots. The Afghan National Army Air Corps relied on the vast pool of pilots who were trained during the communist period. More than 450 enlisted with the Afghan National Air Air Corps, but the majority of these serviceman had logged very few flying hours since 1990.
While the United States had said that it intended to rebuild the air force and various other states had made offers to donate equipment, no material aid had arrived by 2005. At that time essentially all air operations in Afghanistan were conducted by US and other allied aircraft.
In June 2010, President Hamid Karzai redesignated the Afghan National Army Air Corps as the Afghan Air Force (AAF). The name change did not make the AAF independent from the ANA, but the move affirmed Afghan intent to eventually return the air force to its former independent status. By 2011, the AAF's long-term development strategy envisioned an air force that could support the needs of the ANSF and the Afghan Government by 2016. It would be capable of Presidential airlift, air mobility, rotary and fixed-wing close air support, casualty evacuation, and aerial reconnaissance. The AAF also planned to be able to sustain its capacity through indigenous training institutions, including a complete education and training infrastructure. The air fleet would consist of a mix of Russian and Western airframes. Afghan airmen would operate in accordance with NATO procedures, and would be able to support the Afghan Government effectively by employing all of the instruments of COIN airpower. The United States viewed this plan as ambitious and said that it belied a continuing tension between aspirations and affordability.
During the final quarter of 2010, NATO Air Training Command - Afghanistan (NATC-A) completed the initial stage of the AAF's Personnel Asset Inventory (PAI). The second stage was to run from February to April 2011. This effort had 3 purposes. First, the PAI established a true quantitative baseline for AAF personnel strength. Each AAF member provided personal data integral to identifying and calculating the AAF's total force and technical proficiency levels. Second, the PAI collected biometric data from each airman, allowing the Ministry of Interior (MoI) criminal investigation division to cross-reference the national databases to identify airmen with criminal histories. Finally, the PAI gathered electronic funds transfer (EFT) information from each airman. NATC-A then incorporates the EFT data and the remaining PAI information into the Afghan Personnel Information Management System (PIMS). Using this financial information, officials could identify and correct AAF pay irregularities and the "shadow" accounts sometimes used to collect these payments. In sum, the PAI supported efforts to build a transparent, professional, and sustainable AAF.
Assembling an experienced, professional AAF, including an instructor cadre that could provide pilot and technical training, was the focus of NTM-A/CSTC-A's "Airmen Build" line of operation. By the end of March 2011, AAF manning was expected to reach 4,728 Airmen, an increase of 630 airmen over the December 2010 strength. The Afghans and NTM-A/CSTC-A continued to research opportunities to bolster both the AAF NCO and Officer Corps in an effort to develop the force in both quantity and quality as it grows to the proposed 2011 end strength of 8,017 personnel (expected to be reached by March 2012). Attrition at the time stood near 1.4 percent per month, which was an acceptable level to maintain professional and technical skills. Factors limiting growth include education levels, English language requirements, and pilot training, which were factors that also limited the AAF's ability to produce personnel who were able to perform the technically advanced specialties required for aircraft maintenance and airfield support.
On 3 March 2011, the Presidential Airlift Squadron completed its first move of President Karzai by an all-Afghan crew. One air advisor remained in the formation to provide assistance, if required, but was not on the President's aircraft.As of early 2012 the NATO Air Training Command Afghanistan (NATC-A) was focused on building Afghanistans airpower along four lines of operation: aircraft build, airmen build, infrastructure build, and operational capability. All lines of operation made limited progress during the reporting period, but remain immature. The AAF build timeline lags the rest of the ANSF, as it started its training mission two years later, and more time is needed for technical training to produce pilots, mechanics, and several other technical skill sets.
The AAF airmen build remained underdeveloped. The overall strength of the AAF was 5,541 at the end of the reporting period, with 1,577 currently in training. The pilot training program had 55 candidates progressing through the self-paced (normally 18 months) English language training course and 64 progressing through 12-month pilot training courses. New accession pilot candidates were required to possess an 80 English Competency Level score before beginning a formal pilot training course. Future training could be conducted entirely within Afghanistan with the opening of the training center in Shindand, but the March 2012 course was cancelled due to a lack of progression by pilot candidates in the English language course. Shindand is capable of producing 70 pilots per year. There are also Afghan pilots attending courses in the United States, United Arab Emirates, and the Czech Republic.
In November 2011, NTM-A and the AAF conducted a data call to assess the training level of AAF airmen, evaluating 2,800 personnel, or more than half of the force. The assessment revealed that 1,918 of those surveyed were undertrained but remained assigned to units. Combining the data call and subsequent investigations, only 973 personnel were found to be fully trained for their position. NTM-A and the AAF responded with additional training programs, resulting in 557 additional personnel that have now completed training. The existing shortfall in trained airmen was significant; the lack of a sufficient aircrew impeded the growth of the capability and infrastructure for the AAF and undermines the ability to grow the force.
U.S. officials are investigating allegations that some Afghan Air Force officers have been using official aircraft to fly drugs and illegal weapons around the country. A U.S. newspaper, The Wall Street Journal, says investigators are also looking into whether the alleged air force drug and weapons trafficking is related to a deadly attack last year. In the attack, an Afghan military pilot opened fire on NATO troops, killing eight U.S. soldiers and an American contractor. It was the deadliest such incident since the war began in 2001. The Journal reports the attacker, an air force colonel, is accused of being involved in the illegal activities, while most of the victims were involved in an early phase of the investigation. A NATO spokesman says the investigation is still very preliminary.

Studies show that the consumption of red wine is a much more healthful drink compared to all other alcoholic beverages.
This paper examines red wine and the daily consumption of red wine as a health related behavior. The paper proposes that the daily consumption of red wine is a health benefit for individuals in that it lowers the risk of heart disease, prevents the development of Alzheimer's disease, and slows the aging process. There are some reservations regarding the daily consumption of red wine such as the risk of alcoholism and over-consumption, but these are somewhat negligible. Even though most of society claims to be aware of some of the benefits of red wine, the medical community should do more to promote the daily consumption of red wine in America.
Prevalent research, popular literature, and common sense, all indicate that living a healthier lifestyle extends the life-span and the overall quality of life for the average human being. One lifestyle change that can be readily implemented is drinking red wine daily and in moderation. It has been shown that societies in which red wine consumption is prevalent tend to experience lower levels of heart disease and coronary related deaths (Szmitko & Verma, 2005). Yet, given the predominance of this conclusion, why do many people refuse to modify their behavior and behavior patterns to conform to the principles of a healthier lifestyle?
While there are many explanations, and each in its own right is valid, there seems to be a rational blind spot on the part of individuals who live an unhealthy lifestyle, to persist in harmful behaviors, even though it runs counter to common sense—or what some researchers refer to as experienced based knowledge. If, as Witt, VenDerHeyden, and Gilbertson stipulate, "Behavior is a function of the person interacting with the environment…"(2004, p.363), then rationally blind behavior such as: smoking, eating an unhealthy...

|Home | Letters Resources Dialogue Alternatives? Protests Interviews | Not a mascot | Media info
Welcome to
The following transcript is from the 4/14/00 Chief Illiniwek dialogue "intake session". It is an unedited excerpt from the original U.I. document.MR. MICHAEL HANEY: Good morning, Your Honor. My name is Michael Haney, I am the executive director of the American Indian Arbitration Institute. Yes. Thank you. I have been asked to represent the 478 tribes in the United States.
MODERATOR GARIPPO: I appreciate it. If you just make this part of the record. It's very distracting to have it held there. So if you will just roll it up and make it part of the record.
MR. HANEY: Yes, sir, I will be glad to give you copies of that.
MODERATOR GARIPPO: All right. Thank you.
MR. HANEY: Show the audience what he is objecting to there. Actually it's a list of tribes, federally recognized tribes in the United States, 478 of them, that are going on record and saying that they want Chief Illiniwek to be abolished. They think it's racist, it encourages racial stereotyping.
MODERATOR GARIPPO: Mr. Haney.
MR. HANEY: Thank you very much. We will put that way. Your Honor, I would like to introduce, before I begin my talk, a group of Philadelphia tribal members that traveled all the way from Philadelphia, Mississippi, all night long to be here. They just came to say that they support our efforts to abolish Native imagery and protect Native culture everywhere. I really thank them for coming. We have people from all over the United States this morning, Your Honor, that have come to join with us in this effort to protect the future of our children.
I would like to make an announcement to the press and perhaps to the Board of Trustees, good morning to the Board. Is that I have heard often about the Peoria tribe that you say that the Illiniwek has its support in Oklahoma from the Peoria tribe. Chief John Miles had made a video approximately five or six years ago, saying he didn't have an objection. He didn't see a lot of the dances and some of the antics that went on. And that's been used by the various Chiefs and the other organizations that support racism here in the University of Illinois, what they call pro-Chief people.
I find that very amusing in the sense that we are chief of the highest office that we have within our culture just by the very fact they are saying they are pro-Chief, they are pro- Indians, in the fact that they are diametrically opposed to actions of Native growth within this institution.
But what I would like to announce to the media is that last Wednesday, April 4 of year 2000, the Peoria tribe has joined with every other tribe in America, make it unanimous, there is no tribe in the United States that supports the University of Illinois. I would like to read this.
The Peoria tribe of Indians of Oklahoma request the University of Illinois to cease the use of Chief Illiniwek as a mascot.
Whereas, the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma is a federally recognized tribe of Indians;
Whereas, the Business Committee of the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma is authorized to enact resolutions and act on behalf of the Peoria tribe;
Whereas the Peoria tribe of Indians are descendants of the Kaskaskia, Peoria, Piankeshaw and Wea Tribes, a group of tribes known as Illiniwek, or Illini or Illinois nations, whose members were removed from their homes and forced to move first move to Missouri, then to Kansas and finally to the northeastern part of the Indian Territory now Oklahoma;
And whereas, the image portrayed by Chief Illiniwek does not accurately represent or honor the heritage of the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma and it is a degrading racial stereotype, degrading racial stereotype that reflects negatively on all American Indian people;
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Peoria Tribe of Indians does not endorse nor sanction the characterization of Chief Illiniwek as a mascot for the University of Illinois, and be it finally resolved the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma request the leadership, Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois to recognize the demeaning nature of the characterization of Chief Illiniwek and cease the use of this mascot.
How about that? Your Honor, we have a message from the Chief. The General Secretary of the tribe said, "I find the Chief Illiniwek hurtful and I think is a stereotypical, demeaning and dehumanizing."
The new chief of the Peoria Tribe says, "My personal opinion is that the Chief Illiniwek is a clown." Where did that former clown go? I mean former Chief Illiniwek. "My personal opinion is that Chief Illiniwek is a clown. I have never seen any Indian dance like that and I have been to quite a lot of Indian dances on this 50 years in this little planet. They want to call him Illiniwek, if he wants to look like an Illini," this is an Illini speaking now, "Then we need to take of all of his clothes except for an apron and we need to tatoo him from his head to his toes to make him historically correct and then we will see how many folks line up to be Chief Illiniwek." All right?
I further would like to say, "I don't know what the origination or reason was for the University to create Chief Illiniwek. I don't think it was to honor us, because hell, they ran our butts out of Illinois." This is the Chief talking. All right?
What I am saying is that after you have run the people that inhabited, the people that welcomed your ancestors to Illinois, teach you how to exist, fed you, the first welfare line in Illinois was your ancestors. We fed you. We offered you our resources. And in return you named Chief Illiniwek after us. In return, after you hunted the Mesquaki, Chief Blackhawk, after you hunted the Sauk and Fox people to their death like animals, hunted them, killed man, woman and children, then you named ice hockey teams after them and you think we should be satisfied. I wonder why they call them outside agitators. I am from Oklahoma, but I wouldn't be from Oklahoma if your ancestors hadn't run my people out of Illinois.
I represent all those Native people that are opposed to what is going on here. We want this to cease. We will keep coming, we will keep coming and we will keep coming until this is over. Until you change that racist symbol, we will never give up until the institution finally recognizes that we are human people too, that we do have feelings. And I guarantee you that the American Indian movement, I guarantee that the Choctaw nation, I guarantee you that the people of St. Louis and the people of Chicago, will not cease until Chief Illiniwek is dead.
What I think is conspicuous is that there are no, that 95 percent of all faculty are not here, there are no religious organizations here. There are no politicians here to stand behind you. I think you are all jumping off this ship. My time is up. I want to thank you, Your Honor. I want to encourage the Board of Trustees to eliminate Chief Illiniwek and call off what I consider the longest undeclared war in history, that's the war against the American Indians here in our own homeland.
MODERATOR GARIPPO: Mr. Haney, first I want to thank you and Miss Ostrovsky and Mr. Wakeland for assisting me in identifying the groups here. When you were in my office the other day, you indicated to me that there is some middle ground here. And I asked you if you would present that, present your proposal today.
Now, you didn't do it during your address, but I am going to give you extra time now to address the issue of where do you think a middle ground might be?
MR. HANEY: Sir, I accept the sentiments of the organization called the Red Roots, the Native organization led by Debbie Reese that talked about establishing a Native American studies department. I firmly support the establishment and endowment of a Native American studies chair. I also would like to encourage a scholarship fund be implemented to perhaps maybe fund, through the merchandising of the images that the University finds so successful marketing our image. We also, we have, we have children that would love to come to this University. We would identify those. I chair my education committee back home. I would love to send my gifted and talented people here.
You develop, we would offer our resources, offer the consultation of our educational officers to help develop a comprehensive education improvement program. We also would encourage the development of course work and the aggressive improvement of Native students. We would join with that if there was a dialogue we can talk, because we have never sat down and talked before, sir. We are standing ready to put our minds and our resources together to come to a conclusion that everyone wants here.
MODERATOR GARIPPO: As I understand you and Miss Reese, then the Chief could stay, that the -- if you got these other things that you asked for, the Chief could stay and it would be then through the educational process that over time you would feel that the Chief would die as a result of greater educational opportunities on the campus, is that correct?
MR. HANEY: Yes, sir. We realize it's been 500 years. We realize that the University is a slow learner. But yes, we think they will come to that conclusion.
MODERATOR GARIPPO: Thank you very much.
MR. HANEY: I would like to finally, I would like to ask, they talk about the headdress that was given by Chief Fools Crow. Sir, I am a Dakota, we would like to have that returned to our nation. Thank you.
MODERATOR GARIPPO: Thank you. Hank Hanneken.

"We requested the change due to the incredible response we had from our fans for racing on Monday, Dec. 26," said Gulfstream President and General Manager Timothy Ritvo. "With Jan. 2 being a holiday for many people, and with both Santa Anita and Aqueduct racing, we thought it was the right decision."
First race post Monday will be 12:35 p.m. Gulfstream will be open for simulcasting Jan. 4.
