Robert Agrella, who led Santa Rosa Junior College for two decades, was put in control of City College of San Francisco on Monday to fix its financial and governance problems, which threaten to shut one of the nation's largest two-year institutions.
California's community college chancellor named Agrella special trustee of City College. He will effectively replace the school's elected governing board, giving him extraordinary power to correct problems identified by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, a private, nonprofit regional agency recognized by the federal government.
The commission decided last week to end City College's accreditation in July 2014. Commissioners cited a number of deficiencies in fiscal planning, administration, student support services and other areas that the college failed to remedy a year after it had been put on notice to "show cause" why it should retain its academic standing.
The multi-campus institution with about 85,000 students was allowed to maintain accreditation during an appeals process that could stretch beyond the 2014 deadline.
In videotaped remarks, California Community Colleges Chancellor Brice W. Harris said: "Loss of accreditation would in many cases void the ability of students to transfer credits, jeopardize financial aid and cut off state funding for the college. Essentially, the loss of accreditation would be the death penalty for City College. We simply cannot allow that to happen."
Agrella, former president of SRJC, was not available for comment. He has served as an advisor to City College since last fall.
Paul Feist, spokesman for the state community college system, said Agrella will take immediate steps to trim or hire in important administrative positions and make changes in financial operations.
Feist said Harris also indicated he wants to fast track the search for a permanent chancellor for City College, which is now headed by an interim appointee. The chancellor will report to Agrella.
Several qualified candidates have already expressed interest, Harris said at a meeting of the community colleges Board of Governors meeting in Sacramento.
Several City College leaders said they are skeptical that the appointment of a special trustee would change the minds of accreditors.

This story is written by Red Cross volunteer in Public Affairs Allen Crabtree.
The American Red Cross has provided support to our military and their families throughout its history as a key part of its mission to serve the American people. No matter what time of day, any day of the year, the Red Cross quickly sends emergency communications to deployed service members on behalf of their family during a crisis, provides access to financial assistance in partnership with the military aid societies, information and referral and assistance to veterans.
There is another aspect of the Red Cross' support to the military that is not widely known – the Red Cross partnership to make available pet therapy animals that visit military hospitals to help the healing process for disabled veterans and their families. There are thousands of active duty and retired military personnel and their families living in theColorado Springsarea, and the Red Cross has three pet therapy teams with trained Red Cross volunteers and Certified Registered Therapy Pets that work in the area. These teams are sent to military installations, hospitals and clinics in and aroundFortCarson.
Thea Wasche has been a Red Cross volunteer for three years and is the handler and owner of Lacey, a six-year old Golden Retriever Registered Therapy Dog. "I received Lacey when she was about two years old," she said. "Lacey and I have been certified by the rigorous Delta Society training program for therapy dogs, and I have been fully trained by the Red Cross."
Wasche is a thirty-year civil servant veteran and has been around the military her entire adult life. She now assigned to Schriever Air Force Base, so she is no stranger to the military.
"Lacey and I visit theEvansArmyCommunityHospitalatFortCarsonevery Saturday," said Wasche. "Lacey interacts with the disabled veterans in the patient wards. It is wonderful to see how they react to her gentle approach and demeanor. For many, it is the first reaching out that they have done as part of their rehabilitation program."
Wasche and Lacey also visit outpatient clinics to support veterans receiving physical therapy and other services, and represent the Red Cross when they with the children, families and friends of fallen soldiers as part of the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS).
The American Red Cross has strict training and certification requirements for all therapy pets and their handlers before they are allowed to represent the Red Cross and provide their needed humanitarian healing services to these important military programs or other Red Cross activities.

AWB man charged over fireamComment on this story
Cape Town -
An Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) member appeared in the Worcester Magistrate's Court on Thursday for alleged possession of an illegal firearm and ammunition.
Charl Smal, 43, was granted bail of R1500 and was told to return to court on January 18, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said.
NPA Western Cape spokesman Eric Ntabazalila said Smal was one of seven men arrested in a routine roadblock on the N1 on Tuesday morning, during farmworker protests.
Police said earlier the men were driving towards De Doorns when their car was searched. An unlicensed .308 Mauser and 60 rounds of ammunition were found.
Six of the men were released after an investigation.
AWB leader Steyn van Ronge confirmed that Smal was a member.
Table grape harvesters began protesting in De Doorns in early November for a wage of R150 a day and improved living conditions. The protests soon spread to 15 other towns, leading to violence and two deaths.
Farmworkers suspended the strike until Tuesday to allow the Employment Conditions Commission to review the sectoral determination for agriculture, which stipulates minimum wages, number of leave days, working hours, and termination rules among others.
However, many workers resumed the strike after Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant said it would be impossible to address their demands by their Tuesday deadline.
The Congress of SA Trade Unions (Cosatu) announced on Tuesday evening that the strike had ended after it came to an agreement with Agri-SA to conduct negotiations on a farm-by-farm basis.
Talks would be about the wage demand and a profit-sharing scheme.
If no agreement was reached by January 9, workers on those farms would strike again. - Sapa

The Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss has been unveiled, and is the most uncompromising version yet of the McLaren-Mercedes supercar, which has received rather mixed reviews since first appearing in 2005. The new car, which has no roof or windscreen, is powered by the same 641bhp supercharged V8 from the outgoing SLR and SLR Roadster.
The new car, which clearly takes its cues from Sir Stirling's famous Mille Miglia-winning 300SLR '722' (see Octane, February 2009), receives retro-tweaked styling and a revised exterior. Two air scoops, molded into the bodywork above the headrests, double up as roll hoops, and a central bar splits the cabin into two distinct cockpits. The carbon fibre bodywork has been completely redesigned, and now features huge side vents.
Only 75 cars will be made between June and December 2009, starting as soon as the final SLR roadster has roared off the production line. Costing 750,000 Euros, the exclusive SLR Stirling Moss will only be made available to hand-picked clients who have shown loyalty to the SLR brand.

Canada is a Total Fraud and Extortion Racket
- Uploaded by Myleso on May 23, 2012
- Views: 534
The government of Canada is preventing a Free Market while Canadian's suffer and die. The government is fixing the price of food, energy, fuel, fiber, medicine, and even cannabis by maintaining prohibition and by limiting or restricting cannabis in any way. Nobody dies from cannabis and water kills people. This information is highly suppressed and ignored please share the truth far and wide. Canadians are being royally screwed over.
The Governor-General's webpage told us that the office of Governor-General of Canada is 'DE FACTO', which, in political terms, means 'WITHOUT AUTHORITY'. The Governor General is the Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian Forces.
REPUBLIC vs DEMOCRACY http://www.detaxcanada.org/repub1.htm
Read everything and do your own research!
THE TIME IS AT HAND TO COMPOSE AND ESTABLISH A CANADIAN MAGNA CARTA http://www.detaxcanada.org/carta.htm
The government repeals other laws so lets get rid of the corrupt laws!
In 2003, Rick Simpson discovered his Cancer Cure High THC Hemp Oil.
In 2007, the World Health Organization reported worldwide Cancer caused 21,643 deaths per day (7.9 Million Deaths per year)
Countless thousands of children starve to death every single day.
End Cannabis Prohibition and Repeal the unconstitutional law(s) The prohibition against marijuana was unconstitutional from its inception. We don't want legalization of marijuana which leaves the government to control and regulate it.
Definition of CARTEL:
1: a written agreement between belligerent nations
2: a combination of independent commercial or industrial enterprises designed to limit competition or fix prices
3: a combination of political groups for common action
Example of CARTEL: a cartel of oil-producing nations that controls production and influences prices
Cannabis needs to be exempted from all laws practically everywhere, the only way to put the cartels out of business is to allow the cultivation, processing, transportation, distribution, sales, trade, sharing, possession, consumption and use of cannabis (hemp) for industrial, medicinal, nutritional and recreational purposes repealed. Nobody has any right to restrict anyone, any age, a harmless plant safer than drinking water.
Legalized Medicinal marijuana is a scam because it discriminates and limits the public's access to this harmless medicine that saves lives. Nobody dies or suffers injury from THC. Governments test hemp fields for THC as if it were dangerous scaring farmers away from growing Hemp.
Hemp would solve world hunger and most of the world problems like the energy crisis, deforestation, disease, repair our soils and renew with vital nutrients and so much more it would take too long to list. Pollution from poisonous energy sources like petroleum, coal, natural gas, nuclear, and the tar sands are poisoning the planet and canadians this whole time Hemp could replace all poisonous energy sources while creating oxygen and breathing in CO2. Hemp uses less water no herbicides and no pesticides. The first diesel fuel was made from oil pressed from hemp seeds. It's non-toxic, a nitrogen fixer, grows well nearly everywhere, a renewable resource, makes food, fuel, paper, rope, medicine, cosmetics, plastic, housing and much more.
If cannabis prohibition ended so many new businesses and jobs would be created instantly. Everything made from toxic oil today, can be made from non-toxic hemp. Any limits or restrictions on hemp are preventing a free market. Would you want a license to grow vegetables? The idea of having a license for cannabis sounds like the Slave Master telling the slaves how many plants they can grow. Nobody has any right to dictate!

Ouidad Curl Recovery Whipped Curls8 oz. | Daily Conditioner, Leave-in Conditioner
see all Ouidad products
(Rated 4/5 based on 12 reviews) Login to add your review
If you have wavy, Type 2 hair like mine then I would recommend using a small amount because you don't want to weigh your hair down. I like to use this as both my leave-in and my styler on soaking wet hair, it may seem heavy at first but when my hair dries it always has great curl definition and feels soft.
I gave it 3 stars because of the price! But it is worth it. Really moisturized my hair and yes, my curls were popping! Used a leave in, a little oil and I was good to go, no need for additional gels. I will buy if again , IF I can find a good sale.
It took a few tries to get the hang of this product, but once I did, I realized how awesome it really is. I have not tried it as a conditioner, just as a styler. The first time I used it, I did not brush at all. My hair felt sticky and tangly and gross, and I could not wait to wash it out. The second time, I brushed before application. It was better, but still not great. I really wanted it to work, seeming as how I paid $26 for it, so I persevered. The 3rd try seemed to do the trick. I used the Ouidad double detangler straight out of the shower, followed by a coat of Whipped Curls, followed by brushing again, and then scrunching. This stuff does such a good job that I don't even have to use anything else on it. And to add to it, it sleeps so nicely…I'm on day 3 right now, and nobody could believe I hadn't washed my hair since Sunday - it's so pristine, and there's no frizz…and the few locks of hair that I have that don't like to curl are curling! Unless something changes when the weather gets more humid (it's been pretty humid already this week), I foresee myself using this product for a long time!
This product is amazing! It leaves my hair feeling sooo soft, and it comes out like thick frosting. If you have thick, wavy hair I recommend using it as a rinse out. So luxurious.
This product kept my hair moisturized and it seems to "play well" with stylers. I gave it four stars because as you get towards the end of the container, the product is difficult to get out. I'd prefer a jar or a pump versus a can.
This product is amazing! It will work wonders for the look and feel of your curls! Get the whole experience with a Ouidad cut as well. If you live anywhere near Central Florida, please call us to get started on the Ouidad system and cut! Salon Ciseaux 407-865-5881
I had the exact same experience as another user. I tried this as a rinse-out and ended up with rough feeling hair. Then I tried it as a leave-in and it's just terrible. My hair feels like straw. I wish I knew what ingredient(s) were the culprit so I could avoid them in other products.
I only gave the product 2 curls because it smells great!! I really wanted to "love" this product. Simply because it was $26.00 and it smells AMAZING!! but alas' I can not!...I initially tried this product as a leave-in and noticed it clumped up on my clean damp hair. I tried it twice on clean wet hair as a leave-in and it actually made my hair feel rough! It didn't work well with my styling products either. (Kinky Curly Custard and Kinky Curly Leave-in). The overall result was frizzy and non-defined curls. It didn't weigh my curls down it just was not a good primer for MY hair. I then decided to try it as a conditioner; I left it on my hair for about 15 mins and let the steam hit my head and detangled it and washed it off with warm-cold water and the results were pretty dry! My hair felt rough and dry. My curls then didn't have their usual bounce and vibrance! My hair feels soft with my other conditioners that I've been using so I know it's not my texture. Very upsetting, now I'll have to find a way to get rid of this product w/o feeling like I lost $30.00!!!
love this stuff! rinse out, detangling, leave in, even a light styler -- it's juuuuust right for all of that! super slippery, super moisturizing. i'm on my second container. NO SHAME NO REGRETS lol
I expected this conditioner it to feel like a mousse because it is in a whipped cream type bottle, but it is actually a buttery, luxurious cream. It feels like a moisturizing body treatment. It seems to disappear and soak immediately into my hair. The slip is remarkable, and my hair feels instantly softened and tangle free. I am really surprised at how light this feels, and on my hair, it seems to feel even lighter than the Moisture Lock Leave-in. As a leave-in this makes my hair feel soft and bouncy. As a rinse-out it's impractical, simply because I need to use too much at a time, and 8 oz. lasts 2 weeks at best. After a rinse-out conditioner, this is a terrific leave-in.
This product is AMAZING!! It may be my new can't live without. I use this as a primer and it's wonderful, it adds so much moisture and creates great curl definition. It creates enough curl definition for me to have great 2nd and 3rd day hair, something that had not been achieved before this product! LOVE

The Hough transform (HT) is a commonly used technique for the identification of straight lines in an image. The Hough transform can be equivalently computed using the Radon transform (RT), by performing line detection in the frequency domain through use of central-slice theorem. In this research, an advanced Radon transform is developed using a multilayer fractional Fourier transform, a Cartesian-to-polar mapping, and 1-D inverse Fourier transforms, followed by peak detection in the sinogram. The multilayer fractional Fourier transform achieves a more accurate sampling in the frequency domain, and requires no zero padding at the stage of Cartesian-to-polar coordinate mapping. Our experiments were conducted on mix-shape images, noisy images, mixed-thickness lines and a large data set consisting of 751 000 handwritten Chinese characters. The experimental results have shown that our proposed method outperforms all known representative line detection methods based on the standard Hough transform or the Fourier transform.

I just picked up an embroidery machine -- and I'm curious to what gifts people make. I'm looking for affordable gift ideas for my nieces and nephews and other family members including g-mas and great g-mas. I'm wanting to get a head-start on my Christmas gift list!
Congratulations on your purchase.. Which model did you acquire ?
Oh my.. it is time.. maybe even past time we start thinking of Christmas. and I for one am glad to do so.. as its been a long hot summer..
Embroidering personalize motifs. such as a car for a nephew who may like cars. .along with a monogram of their initials .. or such like that. onto either RTW or not clothing makes a nice gift..
In fact anything personalize. even table napkins with a motif that a grandmother may love is well received. The more practical the better though I think.
I've started to think about Christmas too and wish I had an embroidery machine.
I like embroidered pillowcases. I have been given embroidered bath towels and love them as well.
If you have linen or cotton scraps ... monogrammed hankies. I made one last year for hubby's g-ma, and she was so thrilled. I put her initial inside a floral frame design, then stain-scallop stitched around the edges, and it was done up in a couple hours, including tests for what size and colors to use.
ETA pic
and I was encouraged at the time to write up a how-to review for it.
I will be making grandma a new, better one ... she still has not used that hankie and still insists it's "too good to use". -- Edited on 8/14/11 11:29 AM --
------I don't really make mistakes ... I create "learning opportunities"! Murphy says: The better you match the thread to the fabric, the more likely you will need to rip some stitches out! I spend more quality time with my seamripper than I like ...
Yes, I DO love fabric!!
Happy owner of a band of Brothers: LX-3125, CS-770, CE5500 PRW, a PE-770 emb ... and now Kenmore 158.18032 and 148.12190
Blogging my "learning opportunites" at http://sewingmissadventure.blogspot.com/
Some of what you can make depends on what your largest sized hoop is.... That being said, you can embroider almost anything you can image. ....
For the older set, hankies, kitchen towels, hand towels, bath towels with initials or other motifs. Also beach towels for the kiddies...
I love my monogrammed tote bags.... and have done monograms on gym bags, back packs, pencil cases, lunch bags, totes and purses.
Kids love embroidered t-shirts. I do a lot of applique first initials with the full first name embroidered over it. Also great for baby gifts on onsies or for the layette.
Polartec scarves are super easy to make (just cut - no seam finish required) and also easy to embroider. Monograms or snow flakes or santas or whatever!
There are blanks made specifically for embroidery. I recently embroidered a teddy bear's tummy and a crayon purse.
Key fobs are also easy to make and have a perceived high value. For teacher gifts I embroidered their names on strips of fabric and made key fobs out of them using webbing and fob hardware.
I could go on and on and on.... if you want to see pictures of some or the ideas I've mentioned, feel free to check out my website.... www.deboraland.com
Congratulations on your new machine. Happy Stitching!
------Debora, of Chicago and Frankfurt
Congratulations on your new machine. I just saw an idea for recipe towels. I have my grandma's recipes cards and we have a huge extended family. Do you have software? Do you hate that I asked the question? For the little ones I'm putting the word out for their artwork that I can incorporate into bookbags, totes, toy satchels, etc.
Personalized play quilts are super for the littlest ones to play on when they get toted around. For the 2 to 4 year olds, they can build on them and then it's easy for them to pick up after themselves.
Personalized tags to sew into everything for just about every kid would make a great gift. They need them for daycare, summer camp, church camp, extracurricular activities. For the g-mas and great g-mas, it might be fun to embroider some reading glass cases with names and maybe some indication of magnification as some people use different ones for different purposes. People put those things everywhere so you can never have too many pouches for them. If the g-mas are still sending out birthday cards but maybe not shopping so much, it might be fun to make a custom design card for them and make up a packet they can send out. (Depending upon their circumstances, include stamps along with the envelopes, maybe address labels).
Short table runners/long placements. Something that is a nice in between size to put under a vase, bowl of fruit or centerpiece. Fruit and vegetable bags. I wrap my produce in dish towels in the frig and will be making veggie bags for myself and for friends. Matching Christmas socks for a family stuffed with some little goody and made into a wreath? Once you start looking you'll have so many great ideas your head will be spinning. Have fun.
------I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.
I made wine bags with Christmas and New Year designs for co-workers, etc. at work. Had fun learning how to use my embroidery machine while making all the designs.
I have made fabric bowls with embroidery for a few gifts and am planning on doing house shoes (slippers?) for the extended family for Christmas. I got all my ideas off of blogs with "free patterns" kind of searches.
Beating a dead horse does not make it a pinata!
Sewing with a Singer 5822 for 30+ years, just not often! Also home to a Bernina 830 Electronic Record, and my newest additions, an Elnita T-Lock and a Brother SE-270D, affectionately named "Tigger".
There are some great machine embroidery magazines that are relatively inexpensive for a year's subscription such as Creative Machine Embroidery and Designs in Machine Embroidery. You might want to check at Joann's or Hancock's to see a copy. Also, type in machine embroidery ideas in Google to get lots of free ideas. I have more free ideas than I will ever be able to use because I'll see something and then start thinking about how I can adapt it.
I take classes at my dealer's that help me learn to use my SM. Many SM companies have ideas on their website, also. A simple embroidery on a placemat or napkin looks great. Also, check out the embroidery design websites ("free machine embroidery designs") for free downloads and ideas. I embroider children's designs on diapers and trim the edges for burp cloths that are in demand at baby showers. Add the baby's name and the new mom will love them. Same with baby blankets and bibs. For older children, I'd leave off the name for security reasons but do simple designs on t-shirts or blankets. I have also bought craft aprons at Walmart for a couple of dollars and embroidered designs on the bib part with name of the recipient for Christmas one year. Very popular. Tone-on-tone embroidery or monochromatic colors look great -- ivory on a garment that is only a shade or two darker, etc.
I'd use simple designs with muted colors for most gifts unless you know that the recipient likes bright colors and designs. With kids, the brighter the better in many cases. You can note what type of clothing your recipient wears or how they decorate their home. One of my DDs will not wear anything with embroidery or lace on it but loves embroidered towels and kitchen items. The other one likes seasonal items such as Halloween placemats, napkins, etc.

|Back to Home > Content > Interviews > So What Do You Do, Roland Martin, CNN Contributor and Host of TV One's Washington Watch?
The man of a 1,001 jobs went from county and government reporter at the Austin-American Statesman to becoming one of the most recognizable and outspoken political commentators on television.
While being a CNN contributor would be more than enough for most journalists, that's just the tip of the iceberg for Martin -- he's also a senior analyst for the Tom Joyner Morning Show, host and managing editor of Washington Watch on TV One and a nationally syndicated columnist.
Martin's desire to juggle multiple jobs is all part of building and developing his brand. "If companies are able to have multiple revenue streams and have their hands in multiple pools of money," he told us, "then why shouldn't the people who actually work for those brands be able to do the exact same thing?"
Name: Roland Martin
Looking back, what are your thoughts now on your month-long suspension from CNN for your Super Bowl tweet about David Beckham?
First of all, my thoughts were the same then -- I was cracking on soccer and that's what I talked about. It happened, you deal with it and you move on. My deal is, if you spend significant amounts of time freaking out and going nuts, you'll simply go crazy. My philosophy is very simple: You keep it moving.
What did you take away from your meeting with the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD)?
We had a meeting, and it was exactly what we said it was in the press release.
Do you think the fallout over that incident and others like Ashton Kutcher's Popchips ad or ESPN's Jeremy Lin debacle leads to better coverage of minority groups or just confuses things? Are we becoming more sensitive or too sensitive?
First and foremost, in terms of this notion if we are becoming more sensitive or too sensitive, I believe context is everything. I think it's important for people to always understand what is the context is in what is being said, because that obviously determines what folks are talking about. That's first. Secondly, I don't believe the Jeremy Lin issue somehow improved coverage of minorities. Even though we are a nation that's becoming a minority country, we still have this view where everything is seen through the prism of the dominant culture, which really means white. We still are challenged with having diversified coverage, just like we are challenged to having diversified talent on the air, who are in critical positions on-air and behind the scenes, as well. Things are certainly getting better in a micro way, but it can be a hell of a whole lot better than what it is right now.
|"What always cracks me up is when people want to come at you and give you attitude, and, when you return it, they want to get all sensitive about it."
You recently had a Twitter dust-up with Touré over the NBA playoffs. Has Twitter become more of a distraction than a resource for you?
Oh no, no. Twitter is a huge resource. Look, I had my own morning drive and midday radio show on WVON in Chicago. I also streamed it on U-Stream, and the beauty of that is you are able to communicate with people all across the city, all across the country, all across the world. What always cracks me up is when people want to come at you and give you attitude, and, when you return it, they want to get all sensitive about it. It's sort of like when someone calls you on a radio show and they want to criticize you; then, you hit them back and they get all sensitive. My whole deal is, "Why did you pick up the phone and call?" The way I look at it is some people can't handle the heat. My deal is stay off Twitter or don't respond to somebody. But, again, the beauty of the medium is that you're able to interact with people instantaneously when something happens. That's what I love about it. For me, it is a tremendous source for information. There's no way in the world I can read everything, see everything, so it's always great when people can send you something and say, "Hey, did you catch this?" So, that's what I love about it.
You've worked for several black newspapers throughout your career. How do you think they will fare against the mainstream newspapers and alternative weeklies? Do you think they stand a better or worse chance in the digital age?
If black newspapers are able to understand how valuable their niche is and if they are truly able to make the switch to the digital medium, then I think they can do extremely well... I always make the point that the mainstream papers could never out-black me. What I mean by that is it's not my job to try to compete with them everyday on the news of the day. You cannot win that fight. But when it comes to stories that are unique to our audience, I've made it perfectly clear that they can't beat me at my game. That means you got to have quality talent; you got to have the leadership that's going to do what's necessary. There's a place for black newspapers just like there's a place for Hispanic media, media targeting women. But those black newspapers can't keep thinking that the printed world is still going to be there. They have to understand that we are now operating in a digital and mobile world, and they must be able to keep up.
|NEXT >> So What Do You Do, Joel Hyatt, CEO and Co-Founder of Current TV?
Are you surprised by the lack of diversity on the Sunday morning news shows? Which minority talking heads should the networks be targeting for their programs?
I am not surprised about the lack of diversity on the mainstream Sunday morning talks shows, because the hosts of those shows, as well as the people that produce those shows, as well as the other staffers that produce those shows look the same as the guests they book. Look, this is something that's not new. I've said it before. Also, those shows are stuck in a time warp. Those shows are all so locked in on what's happening in Washington D.C., they don't have the ability to understand or think about the rest of the country. And, so, it bores me every Sunday when I see the same senators, the same folks, as opposed to being able to introduce different and varied guests that I think would be of interest to a diverse audience.
Now, when you talk about who should they talk to, I think, first and foremost, they have to get out of the "Who's the one black person?" [thinking]. It happens all the time. There's always the "black person" to go to when it comes to various issues. Here's what cracks me up: Anytime there's a race-based conversation, it's amazing how these shows can find three, four, five, six guests to talk on stuff. I always go, "Hmm, I wonder if those people can talk on other issues?" That happens. There's no one particular person, but I think there are a number of voices that could do very well in terms of expanding the line of thought.
You're an outspoken Christian and your wife is a Reverend. What's your take on President Obama supporting gay marriage, and how much do you think his stance will impact his reelection bid?
It was not a surprise. Remember in 1996, as I said on CNN during that week, the President signed a questionnaire when he was running for the state Senate, saying that he supported same-sex marriage. Then, in 2004 when he ran for the U.S. Senate, he then said he believed marriage was between a man and a woman. So, it wasn't a surprise that he took the position. The impact on the election is still unknown, because national polling data shows that a majority of Americans support same-sex marriage, yet when you have the referendums in 32 states, supporters of same-sex marriage are 0-for-32. It sort of says people are saying one thing in a poll but actually doing another thing when they actually go to vote. I think it's way too early to tell in terms of what the potential impact will be.
|"The idea of being objective is a ridiculous one."
In March, you wore a hoodie in support of Trayvon Martin while hosting Washington Watch on TV One. Do you think journalists can openly support issues like the Martin tragedy and still remain objective?
The idea of being objective is a ridiculous one. Let's just be honest. Everybody -- I don't care who you are -- you have a viewpoint on something and on an issue. The difference is whether you chose to say something publicly, whether you chose to advance it... a whole different deal. I chose to wear the hoodie, because it was important beyond just the Trayvon Martin issue but to call attention to the issue of racial profiling. Also, you'll notice the hoodie that I wore was my college hoodie. I wanted folks to know this is what a college graduate looks like. This is what somebody looks like who is successful. I'm not a thug, never been a thug, but the problem we have in this country is you have people that have these perceptions and they continue to use these perceptions to drive their viewpoint. To me, that's dangerous.
What's your secret to developing your brand?
Know exactly who you are. The second thing is you have to have no fear in being able to work it. Companies today will fire you, not renew your contracts and when it's gone, it's gone. So you're left with what, saying that I use to be with so-and-so and I use to work with so-and-so? I love this scene from the movie The Insider where Al Pacino says, "Lowell Bergman, 60 Minutes, I wonder if my phone calls would get returned if I didn't have 60 Minutes after my name?"
When you build your own brand, people will still return your phone calls regardless of the call letters or where you actually work, because they now know you and they trust you in what you have to say and what you're doing. That, to me, is the most important aspect when it comes to building your brand. If companies are able to have multiple revenue streams and have their hands in multiple pools of money, then why shouldn't the people who actually work for those brands be able to do the exact same thing?

FirstRand profits to increaseComment on this story
Johannesburg - FirstRand, South Africa's second-biggest financial services company, said first-half earnings will be as much as 26 percent higher as the company added retail banking customers.
Earnings per share for the six months through December were 24 to 26 percent above the 128.5 cents reported for the same period in 2012, the Johannesburg-based company said in a statement today.
Excluding one-time items the figure was 20-22 percent higher.
FirstRand shares increased 0.9 percent to 34.37 rand as of 10:04 a.am. in Johannesburg, the highest on an intraday basis in almost two months.
The stock has declined 4.3 percent this year, compared with a 2.8 percent fall on the FTSE/JSE Banks Index.
FirstRand is expanding in markets including Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, in order to boost growth outside its core South African market.
The company appointed Jacques Celliers as chief executive officer of its consumer-banking unit from the end of last year. - Bloomberg News

ALBANY -- Kentucky Derby Day this year will mean a lot more than just a run for the roses to senior citizens in Southwest Georgia.
The SOWEGA Council on Aging will host its first "Juleps, Jockeys and Jazz" event on May 5 at Stonebridge Golf and Country Club. The fundraiser, which organizers plan to make an annual gathering, will help pay for programs and services provided citizens 60-over in 14 area counties served by the Council on Aging.
"We're still finalizing plans, but it's starting to come together," SOWEGA Council on Aging Development Director Izzie Sadler said recently. "Tickets just went on sale on our website, but we're still planning out our activities. There's a lot of excitement right now."
Part of the excitement has been generated by the addition of Virginia and Leland Burkart to the council's Juleps, Jockeys and Jazz planning committee. The Burkarts, avid Derby fans, have been hosting a party on the day of the big race for the past 37 years.
"This is not a new concept, but it's new to the Council on Aging," Sadler said. "That's why having Virginia and Leland help us with the planning is such a big deal. They've been doing this for a long time. And they've invited a lot of the regular guests at their parties to come to ours this year."
Guests at Juleps, Jockeys and Jazz will be encouraged to wear Derby attire, including big hats and sundresses for the ladies and bright colors and bow ties for the gentlemen. All will receive a complementary framed memory photo. Activities planned for the Derby-themed evening, which is scheduled for 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., include betting games, watching the race live, silent and live auctions, a hat parade and entertainment by the T. Marshall Jones Jazz Quartet.
Tickets, which are $75 per person, are available at www.sowegacoa.org (Event page) or at the council's 1105 Palmyra Ave. offices. Information is available at (229) 432-1124.
The SOWEGA Council on Aging fundraiser will benefit senior citizens in Baker, Calhoun, Colquitt, Decatur, Dougherty, Early, Grady, Lee, Mitchell, Miller, Seminole, Terrell, Thomas and Worth counties.

BOSTON – If there was one stat that stood out as a positive for the Celtics in their exhibition opener against the Toronto Raptors Monday night at TD Garden it was 25 assists on 33 made baskets.
It was the same stat that stood out to first-year Celtics coach Brad Stevens as he hastily scanned the box score following his team's 97-89 loss.
"That's pretty good," he said in finding the silver lining among a legion of not-so-flattering defensive and rebounding numbers from the game. "I like that. It's a good place to start. If we can keep moving the ball like that, I think we'll knock down a few shots. But I think one of the strengths of our team the first seven days is just our unselfish nature playing the game."
The man in charge of initiating that offense, for the most part, until Rajon Rondo (ACL surgery) returns sometime in December will be Avery Bradley. The de facto point guard tallied an uninspiring 1-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio in 32 minutes on Monday, but he was able to create a lot of havoc with his defense and pushed the ball up the court off rebounds and turnovers.
In the Stevens' system as it currently runs sans Rondo, it's then up to the team – not necessarily the point guard – to create a good shot with ball movement.
"As a team I felt like we moved the ball well," said Bradley, who finished with 12 points on 5-of-16 shooting. "My job is to make everything easier on everybody else at both ends of the floor. I am going to try to do that and continue to improve. I feel our team will continue to improve. We're an unselfish team. If we continue to move the ball well, I feel like it's going to be hard for teams to guard us."
Stevens gave a positive assessment of Bradley's extended effort on a night when most players were held in the 20-minute range.
"I thought Avery did a pretty good job overall," Stevens said. "Obviously, he'll want to cut down on the turnovers and increase the assists. But I think sometimes when you're playing with a guy who is getting used to that position it's better to gauge him by hockey assists than assists. I thought he made a lot of nice plays that led to the next pass."
Bradley's best moments of the night came when he was not out there with fellow starters Jeff Green, Brandon Bass and Kris Humphries at the outset, but when he ran with Gerald Wallace (16 points), Jared Sullinger (14 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists) and Kelly Olynyk (5 assists) in a second half unit that included some entertaining and active play from rookie Vitor Faverani at center.
"First, we're a defensive team," Bradley said. "That gets our offense going. I felt there was a stretch where we were playing great defense and that led to buckets on the offensive end."
Bradley said he may have found a new defensive favorite defensive running mate in the 13-year NBA veteran Wallace.
"Gerald's an energy guy just like myself," Bradley said. "We're going to go out there and do whatever we can do to help our team win games. He's a quiet guy. But he goes so hard, man. All you can do is respect him. It rubs off on me and I want to go out there and play hard for him."
"One thing I've learned about Gerald Wallace in my short time knowing him is that he's going to give it everything he has," Stevens similarly gushed. "Whether it's in practice, or an exhibition game, or a regular season game, that guy plays hard. I think that sets a really good tone for our team."
Stevens said he will likely start with defense when his team returns to work Tuesday afternoon in Waltham, and that his squad must find a way to better make up for its lack of size in the paint.
"We have to get better at playing when we're undersized," the coach said, "because we are undersized when we're playing at the rim. There's ways to combat that. We'll go to work on them."
For the most part, however, everyone was reasonably pleased with the first effort post-Doc, post-Garnett and post-Pierce that did not involve going up against each other.
"I felt like once we started moving the ball we made it easier on each other," Bradley said. "I felt like we didn't play our best, but we definitely made steps from training camp.
"(Stevens) put a lot of different groups in there. I feel, for the most part, everybody's energy was high."

Originally published Jan. 23, 2009
STAUNTON In a breaking development in the 1967 Highs Ice Cream double homicide, this afternoon a News Leader employee turned over a .25-caliber automatic handgun matching the description of the murder weapon used in the killings.
The gun, Circulation Manager Kathy Myers said, was given to her now-deceased husband in 1981 by the lead detective on the Highs case, Davie Bocock.
Myers said her husband, Danny, was a Staunton police officer from 1967 to 1983, and said Bocock gave him the gun as an off-duty weapon. Dont let anybody know I gave this to you, Myers said Bocock told her husband.
Myers said she forgot the gun was in her possession, but said her memory was jogged this afternoon while watching a live webcast on The News Leader Web site involving four members of the Staunton Police Department and a retired Staunton detective as they fielded questions from the public. Investigator Mike King, the lead detective on the Highs case, was immediately informed of the gun. He transported Myers to her home, and the gun was turned over to police.
Mr. King tells me the gun matches the description given to police by Sharron D. Smith, Myers said. Smith was charged in December with two counts of first-degree murder in the 1967 shooting deaths of 19-year-old Constance Hevener and her sister-in-law, Carolyn Perry, 20. Both women, clerks at the North Augusta Street store, were shot in the head at point-blank range.
Smith, 18 years old at the time of the killings, died Monday at the age of 60 at an undisclosed Harrisonburg terminal-care facility after battling kidney and heart disease.
Before her death, Smith told Staunton police she gave the murder weapon to Bocock, and said it was placed inside a metal box and buried.
Police have not corroborated Smith's account, but are continuing efforts to locate the weapon.

"Prayerful singing" is sometimes an elusive term to define objectively. But if you want to hear prayerful Orthodox liturigcal singing, this CD epitomizes it! The small choir of nuns at the St. Paisius Monastery sing simply, tunefully, and with good ensemble. Everything—both from a musical and liturgical standpoint—is present here in the proper amount and proportion: true and genuine harmony! Like their earlier release of para-liturgical spritual songs by St. Nikolai Velimirovic (K40, entitled "Dukhovnaja Lira"), this CD is not only a pleasure to listen to, but also fills the hearer with a profound spiritual calm and serenity.--V. M.

It was cool in Los Angeles.
Sunday, November 9. We were working the night watch out of Robbery Detail.
That's classic radio. It turns out that we've got a recording of some of the original Dragnet programs in the catalog. Sadly, though, we don't have the DVD set with Jack Webb.
What we do have -- and I'm going to mix media here -- is a great collection of Raymond Chandler novels. It's like getting a Dragnet fix in conveneint paper doses. Starting with a set like The Big Sleep, Farewell, My Lovely, and The High Window should give you a good introduction to Philip Marlow and the hard detective style.
Anyone else have have any crime noir recomendations?

Author and 32nd degree Freemason, Robert W. Sullivan discusses the influence of ancient mysteries, ceremonies, sages and astral bodies on the very foundation of America.
- I remember it well- the first time I heard the phrase "Freemason". Sure, in hindsight, it came from an uneducated idiot at a college party, but it was enough to make me rush to Google for enlightenment. My 20-year-old brain couldn't believe what it had read. Masons seemed to be the stuff of fiction. A shadowy cabal of powerful men linked to basically every major event that lead to the establishment of the United States. It was well known- George Washington, Ben Franklin and and a slew of other founding fathers we worship were members of this secretive fraternal order shrouded in creepy symbols, weird phrases and secret handshakes. How could I not have known this? Then I came across the claims that masons were devil worshipers, prayed to idols and practiced black magic.

Steps to creation of an RMI system:
The short version
1) Create an interface. (in this case, the interface is myRMIInterface.java). 2) Create a class that implements the interface. (in this case, myRMIImpl.java). 3) Create a server that creates an instance of this class 4) Create a client that connects to the server object using Naming.lookup() 5) Compile these classes. 6) Run the RMI interface compiler on the .class file of the implementation class (in this case, you'd say "rmic myRMIImpl"). 7) Start the RMI registry (on Windows NT/95, say "start rmiregistry"). 8) Start the server class ("start java myRMIServer"). 9) Run the client program ("java myRMIClient").The long version
problem: You get the following error when running the client
Exception occured: java.rmi.UnmarshalException: Return value class not found; nested exception is: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: myRMIImpl_Stub
problem: You get the following error when running the client
C:\test3>java myRMIClient 127.0.0.1 Exception occured: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net .SocketPermission 127.0.0.1:1099 connect,resolve)or the following when running the server
C:\test3>java myRMIServer Exception occurred: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.ne t.SocketPermission 127.0.0.1:1099 connect,resolve)
Here is another policy file that includes only the permissions necessary to run this app.
And that's the whole story of how to create and run an RMI program. It's
really not that bad, is it? :-)
Here's the source code:

Don't forget to use protection.
Recently a blog post on tlnt.com by the fabulous Laurie Ruettimann caught my attention, "Don't Facebook Me: Why You Shouldn't Google During the Recruiting Process."
Laurie writes, "I don't believe it is appropriate for Human Resources professionals to hop on Google, root around the Internet, and look for incriminating pictures and create reasons not to hire qualified people during America's worst recession in decades.
Googling is a sloppy, lazy, and unseemly method to verify a candidate's character. And who the heck is HR to put itself out there as a judge of character? I told the audience, "Some of us in the room are human and screw up on a daily basis. If you can't use Facebook to post pictures, where is the joy in life?"
My first thought was, "But I am not looking for information to rule candidates out. I am looking for information to rule them in."
When I am using Google or any other search tool as a part of my sourcing and recruiting efforts, I am seeking information about individuals' professional experience and expertise. When working on a search, the goal is to find the most qualified candidate. Most of the searches that I work on are highly-specialized; clients hire me to find qualified individuals at a certain level within a small, very specific niche.
There is typically an extremely limited pool of these people that I am looking for. So, when I start researching someone's professional background, I am hoping to find information telling me they are the right candidate for the job.
I WANT this person to be the right person for the job – so I can fill it and move on to the next one!
The problem arises when things pop up during this research that provide some doubt as to whether the individual may be the right fit for a client. The reason I am always writing on my blog about how it's not a good idea to have drunken, naked, or otherwise unprofessional photos that are available to the general public is that we recruiters don't want to find that stuff when we are doing our research! If we do, it might give us pause: "Well, now, what if my client researches them and finds this and I didn't tell them about it?"
Let me give you an example.
During a search I was working on several years ago I came across a potential candidate's resume. He was a consultant for a Big 4 professional services firm, and his education and work experience were impressive.
The problem?
His resume was outlined on his MySpace page…right next to pictures of him, um, hugging the Porcelein God if you know what I mean.
There was also a lot of commentary about how he likes to drink and get drunk and there were pictures of naked woman all over his page.
My first thought was that if the partners of his firm saw this they would be mortified. And what if a client or potential client of theirs found it??
And then I thought the same thing about if the partners of the firm I was representing at the time saw that. They would be equally mortified. To have the name of the firm right there next to all of that…I still shudder at the thought.
Fortunately for me, it turned out his experience was not a direct match for what I was looking for so even if I had not seen all of that he would not have been a fit for that particular role. However, I just kept thinking…what if he had been? Then what am I supposed to do with that information once I have it?
Part of being a good fit for certain MOST roles is demonstration of good judgment. That, was not.
I think it's perfectly fine to post your pictures on MySpace or Facebook or wherever. Naked or drunk or otherwise.
I think it's also a really, really good idea to think long and hard about whom you want to see that stuff and whom you do not…and to USE PROTECTION THOSE PRIVACY CONTROLS THEY GIVE YOU.

Tomcat FAQ wrote:How does WTP support separate Tomcat server instances?
Apache Tomcat 4.0 and later operate with paths that are relative to one of two locations. These two locations are known in the Tomcat batch scripts as CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE. In the Java command that actually runs Tomcat, they appear as catalina.home and catalina.base system properties. The "home" location defines where the binary portion of Tomcat lives. This includes the bin, common, and server directories. The "base" location defines where the configuration and working directories for a Tomcat server instance lives. This includes the conf, logs, shared, webapps, and work directories. Tomcat servers created in WTP will have their "home" location set to the Tomcat installation associated with the Tomcat Runtime selected for the server. The "base" location will default to an internally created directory under the .metadata folder found in your workspace.

1. Re: Hyperion Planning business rules migrating to Calc Manager issueSree Menon-Oracle Sep 19, 2012 9:53 AM (in response to user5518660)Brenda,
We are looking at this in the next release but would you be able to give us couple of your original calc scripts for our testing purpose? Once we fix this, we will port it back to 184.108.40.206. At this time, I can not give you timeline but will definitely look in to it.
Could you send this to email@example.com (also if possible attach the otl file for it?)

2. Re: Hyperion Planning business rules migrating to Calc Manager issue964054 Sep 24, 2012 2:54 PM (in response to user5518660)You might learn to appreciate graphical mode in Calc Manager, we do. It is not like the old Business Rules in EAS. I am an old school calc script person, and have NO love for drag-and-drop coding ... I need control. ;-)
Insert a blank script object and paste your code into the 'Script' tab for that object. Set up your prompts and use the {} notation in your code. All of the comments will stay put ... as long as you DON'T USE EDIT, SCRIPT! We make a fair number of generic, reusable pieces of code and save them as shared scripts. These can be dragged into Rules. Click on the Rule's Begin object and choose the Script tab ... you will see how the bits are assembled into complete calc script. We've even come up with a way to use LOOP ... ENDLOOP as though it were a procedural IF statement so we can control whether or not a chunk of code is active or not.
Shared scripts are especially good for currency translation components since we occasionally add new currencies and want to make a change in one object that is used in dozens of business rules.

3. Re: Hyperion Planning business rules migrating to Calc Manager issueuser5518660 Oct 9, 2012 10:50 AM (in response to 964054)Sorry Sree, I didn't see your response. ORacle has fixed this and delivered code to us and we have been able to test. Maybe you were the one working on it behind the scenes? :) Not sure when it will come out in an official patch, but we really appreciate that our rules come over now as script and that calc manager doesn't modify them.
4. Re: Hyperion Planning business rules migrating to Calc Manager issueSree Menon-Oracle Oct 9, 2012 11:50 AM (in response to user5518660)Yes. If you were from LM, then it was me one on the call. The patch is due at the end of the week and may be delivered begining of next week.
5. Re: Hyperion Planning business rules migrating to Calc Manager issueSree Menon-Oracle Oct 11, 2012 6:09 PM (in response to Sree Menon-Oracle)The patch for migrating from HBR to Calc Manager is posted.
Oracle Hyperion Planning Release 188.8.131.52.000 Patch Set Update (PSU): 184.108.40.206.302 is available via My Oracle Support as Patch 14723831.
Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager Release 18.104.22.168.000 Patch Set Update (PSU): 220.127.116.11.301 is available via My Oracle Support as Patch 14669133.
With these pacthes, the HBR rules in script mode will come over to calc manager as script rules unlike the graphical ones before.
Also, the macros will be converted to Calc Manager Templates.
The macro reference in a rule is changed in calc manager as %Template as it supports calling other objects via %Rule, %Script, %Formula etc.,
-Sree Menon
