Mainstream media are calling out conservative outlets such as Fox News for connecting the Black Lives Matter movement to the deaths of police officers and increases in crime, writing that such claims "have a lack of evidence" and are based on "junk science and political opportunism."
As companies cut ties with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) following a campaign led by ColorOfChange, Fox News has defended the conservative legislation organization, accusing ColorOfChange of using "fascist tactics" and inviting ALEC supporters and officials on to defend their actions. ALEC, an organization that drafts model bills for conservative state lawmakers, has pushed for controversial "Stand Your Ground" and voter ID laws across the country.
The most recent issue of The Nation has an editorial on Glenn Beck's "relentless campaign to demonize" Frances Fox Piven:
But Beck has had Piven in his cross-hairs for some time. In the past few years he's featured Piven, along with her late husband, Richard Cloward, in at least twenty-eight broadcasts, all of which paint them as masterminds of an overarching left-wing plot called "the Cloward-Piven strategy," which supposedly engineered the financial crisis of 2008, healthcare reform, Obama's election and massive voter fraud, among other world-historical events (see Richard Kim, "The Mad Tea Party," April 12, 2010). Cloward and Piven, Beck once argued, are "fundamentally responsible for the unsustainability and possible collapse of our economic system." In his most recent diatribe against Piven (January 17) he repeatedly called her "the enemy of the Constitution." In Beck's telling, because Piven and her comrades on the left support civil disobedience in some circumstances, it is they--not the heavily armed militias of the radical right--who threaten Americans' safety.
It's tempting not to dignify such ludicrous distortions with a response. But in brief: Piven, throughout her career as an activist and academic, has embodied the best of American democracy. It has been her life's work to amplify the voices of the disenfranchised through voter registration drives, grassroots organization and, when necessary, street protest. The way economic injustice warps and erodes our democracy has been a central preoccupation. But passive lament has never been her game. Recognizing the leverage that oppressed groups have--and working with them to use it--is her special genius.
It's perhaps not surprising, then, that the pseudo-populist right finds her so threatening. The highly personalized and concerted campaign against Piven, already unsettling, takes on added gravity in the context of the recent shootings of Representative Gabrielle Giffords, federal judge John Roll and eighteen other people in Arizona. But while commentators debate whether the killer in that case--the mentally disturbed Jared Loughner--was inspired by the ravings of right-wing demagogues, the forgotten story of Byron Williams provides a straightforward example of the way hateful rhetoric fuels violence.

From the October 15 edition of MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann:

It's an interesting question given how much free airtime the Fox News contributor's online video has received since it was released.
The Nation's Ari Melber did some digging and seems to have the answer on just who exactly watched the former half-term Governor of Alaska's "mama grizzlies" video in the week following its launch.
Good thing too. The last thing we'd want is reporters claiming that Palin had really stepped up her game to rally her base with this new fangled online video stuff for the YuteToobs and FaceSpace. You know, like it did in claiming Palin's recent fundraising was impressive and a sign of her seriousness when, in fact, it was about the same as last year.
From Melber's post (emphasis added):
In the week since it was first posted on Palin's Facebook page, which boasts over 1.8 million backers, the video has drawn 368,000 views. Yet despite her large following, only 33,000 people watched the video via Facebook, according to YouTube statistics. That means only one out of ten viewers found "Mama Grizzlies" through Palin's social network -- and under 2 percent of her Facebook community watched the video. So who did watch "Mama Grizzlies"?
Mostly traditional news readers and Palin detractors.
Almost a third of all views came through an article on Yahoo! News, for example, while ratings for the video ran almost two-to-one for "dislike" over "like." "The bulk of the views seem to come after it had been covered in the mainstream media," observes Pete Warden, a social media analyst who has studied Palin's Facebook strategy. "She is still reaching a lot more people indirectly through the media than through Facebook and Twitter and the other direct channels," added Warden, a former engineer at Apple.
It's quite a feat. Palin blasts the "lamestream" media while claiming to commune directly with her base, which draws extensive media coverage for an effort that actually reaches a tiny number of people. Without the media assist, though, Palin would just be sitting on a Facebook page with 2 percent participation and a YouTube video with niche numbers. (As is, "Mama Grizzlies" is not exactly Double-Rainbow material; it would place below this week's top ten political videos for overall views.) Some reporters are catching on. "I hope we don't hear from Sarah Palin about media bias anymore," Chuck Todd recently said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," "because it is amazing the ability this woman has to get media attention with as little as she does, whether it's a Twitter or a Facebook update."
Be sure to check out Melber's entire post, including the humorous postscript with an interesting comment from an unnamed SarahPAC official.
Reporting on and analyzing polling data is not one of the media's strong suits. All too often they get it wrong when they aren't obsessed with making something out of nothing.
Now it appears the WashingtonPost.com's Behind the Numbers blog is trying to provide some cover for "birther" minded conservatives after the news outlet's own poll confirmed that nearly one-in-three Republicans and Tea Partiers ascribe to the notion that President Obama may not have been born in the United States.
The Nation's Greg Mitchell writes on the magazine's new Media Fix blog:
But still, the Washington Post's "Behind the Numbers" blog downplayed the results today of its own poll (done with ABC). At least Chris Cillizza at his The Fix blog at the same site played it more accurately, to a point. Dave Weigel, who covers the right for the paper, points out that 31% of tea party supporters hold the Birther view (the same number of Republicans, as if that needs to be pointed out).
The raw numbers: Nearly one in three GOPers (31%) believe Obama was born "in another country." The same figure for Democrats is 15% and among Independents 18%. The number for those who describe themselves as "very conservative" is 36%. Of that segment 17% claim they have "solid evidence" for his birth abroad.
But Jon Cohen at Behind the Numbers attributes this all to a "misunderstanding," not ignorance, bias, political or media manipulation, or, in part, racism. He emphasizes that overall 77% do not endorse this view, noting, "Broad majorities across party lines volunteer that Obama was born in the U.S., although substantial numbers in some groups say he wasn't.." He buries the 1 in 3 finding for all Republicans way down in his report.
In a new column on his Edgeofsports.com website, The Nation sports editor and author Dave Zirin calls for supporting a national boycott of the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball team because of the recently passed Arizona immigration law.
Zirin writes:
This will be the last column I write about the Arizona Diamondbacks in the foreseeable future. For me, they do not exist. They will continue to not exist in my mind as long as the horribly named "Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act" remains law in Arizona. It's a law that has brought echoes of apartheid to the state.
The Nation's Ari Melber notes that Yuval Levin, formerly an aide in George W. Bush's domestic policy shop, is Newsweek's editor of national affairs, in which position he has written that liberals must "pull back to the center--or suffer the consequences." And warned of "Obama fatigue." And suggested the stimulus package passed earlier this year should have contained a "meaningful tax-cut component." (Melber notes that in fact the stimulus contained $280 billion in tax cuts, which seems pretty meaningful to me.)And in June, Levin co-wrote a column with Bill Kristol, declaring "ObamaCare is wrong. It should and can be defeated."
In March, a piece Levin wrote for Newsweek identified him as a "Bush veteran." But more his more recent bylines have described him simply as "editor of National Affairs and a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center," so Melber asked Newsweek why Levin's partisan background is no longer disclosed. Here's the response he got from a Newsweek spokesperson:
Levin's previous article for Newsweek involved the issue of bioethics, his primary focus while at the White House. He disclosed his prior position in the body of that piece. His most recent article was not related to that topic. We believe our readers are aware of Mr. Levin's background, and are able to discern a reported news article from argument, which Levin's recent piece was. (Emphasis added.)
This is absolute nonsense. There isn't one person in a hundred who knows Yuval Levin worked in the Bush White House. Is there even one person in a thousand? In ten thousand? And how many know he co-authors attacks on "ObamaCare" with Bill Kristol and contributes to National Review Online?
Newsweek's apparent belief that because they disclosed Levin's background once, long ago, all of their readers have committed his resume to memory reminded me of Anne Applebaum's recent defense of her failure to disclose the fact that her husband is an official in the Polish government who was lobbying for leniency for Roman Polanski while she was writing in support of the same.
Applebaum, a columnist for Newsweek's sibling publication, the Washington Post, wrote: "For the record, I will note that I mentioned my husband's job in a column as recently as last week, and that when he first entered the Polish government three years ago I wrote a column about that too. I have to assume that the bloggers who have leapt upon this as some kind of secret revelation are simply unfamiliar with my writing."
This is nonsense. If a conflict exists, it isn't sufficient to disclose it once. It must be disclosed every time it is relevant. Applebaum seems to assume that Washington Post readers make a mental catalogue of every Post reporter and columnist, their relationships, and their conflicts of interest. That anyone who ever reads anything she writes will take it upon themselves to keep a running tally of her conflicts, so she need disclose them only once. That, obviously, is not going to happen. And it displays a stunning arrogance -- she thinks everyone who reads her column cares enough about her to know where her husband works.
Finally, she's misstating the nature of what she mocks as the "secret revelation." The criticism wasn't that her husband is an employee of the Polish government. Nobody cares about that. It's that her husband is a Polish government official who is currently lobbying for the very thing Applebaum is arguing in favor of. Surely she understands the difference?
(For the record, Applebaum had another, much better, defense of her failure to disclose her husband's lobbying for Polanski: she says she didn't know he was doing it.)
And then there's Howard Kurtz, the Washington Post media critic with the lucrative side-job hosting a television show for CNN. He's promised to disclose his financial relationship with CNN every time he writes about the cable news giant -- but he doesn't do so. Not even close.
What Kurtz, Levin, and Applebaum have in common -- besides a corporate parent -- is the apparent belief that as long as they disclose potential conflicts of interests once, anyone who ever reads anything they write will be completely aware of their background. That is obviously foolish -- not to mention arrogant. This may be hard for Washington Post Company journalists to believe, but most readers have more important things to do than to memorize the life story of every reporter whose reporting they might encounter.
The Nation's Ari Melber takes a look at the fight between Fox News' Glenn Beck and New York Times columnist David Brooks:
Perhaps we still do not understand the current Obama backlash.
David Brooks caused a small stir on Friday by arguing that conservative radio hosts are, paradoxically, a lot like well-behaved children. They are seen – splashed across magazine covers and endlessly profiled – but not heard, politically, since they do not swing elections.
"The talk jocks can't even deliver the conservative voters who show up at Republican primaries," Brooks observed, reminiscing about how McCain's media detractors could not stop him in South Carolina last year.
After the summer of townhalls and what's shaping up as the autumn of Glenn Beck, however, it is hard to see things through Brooks' bifocals. Besides, as the top conservative at the Times and an alumnus of Rupert Murdoch's Weekly Standard, Brooks is peering out from within the conservative media ecosystem. He is, unavoidably, in direct competition for opinion leadership with the "talk jocks" he knocks. Which makes it especially odd for him to apply an electioneering metric to opinion media.
It is no accident that the two biggest forces countering the new President do not practice electoral politics. The opposition party may whither, but there is still the movement and the man. Both have the Obama administration's attention.
There were few signs for alternative policies, let alone the alternative political party. The same is true, naturally, for their leader.
Glenn Beck has a long list of concerns about the country's direction. Yet since Obama's election, his most successful efforts have focused on attacking members of the administration and (putative) allies. He is trying to stop Obama, not jump-start the mid-terms.
By his own count, Beck began assailing Van Jones on July 23 and continued for weeks, up until the September 6 resignation. Fox aired hundreds of segments on Jones. Congressional Republicans, however, were less interested. In the past 9 months, Jones' name has only surfaced on the floor of Congress in eight instances (according to the Congressional Record). Brooks argues, however, that "Republican politicians" follow Beck at every turn:
Everyone is again convinced that Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and the rest possess real power. And the saddest thing is that even Republican politicians come to believe it... They pay more attention to Rush's imaginary millions than to the real voters down the street. The Republican Party is unpopular because it's more interested in pleasing Rush's ghosts than actual people. The party is leaderless right now because nobody has the guts to step outside the rigid parameters enforced by the radio jocks and create a new party identity. The party is losing because it has adopted a radio entertainer's niche-building strategy, while abandoning the politician's coalition-building strategy.
Melber's piece is well worth reading in its entirety.
Well, The Nation's Ari Melber argues that it is. He picks up on something we've been noting here on CF and at Media Matters in general for some time -- that the rudderless conservative movement is being led by folks like Rush Limbaugh.
Writes Melber:
For years, independent experts and strategists in both parties all agreed that conservative media was a crucial part of the Republican Party's resurgence. Talk radio mobilized the base, with Rush Limbaugh wielding influence that rivaled most GOP senators. Fox News framed national debates and turned party talking points into conventional wisdom. It worked so well, Democrats pined for their own echo chamber, plowing money into think tanks and political media efforts to imitate the GOP model. The message machine that helped put Republicans in power, however, now looks like an albatross for the opposition party.
Let's take a step back. There has not been a single hearing on Sotomayor's nomination, but Senate Republicans are already playing defense over the party's response to the nomination. But who speaks for the Republican Party? As every politico knows, the GOP's Supreme Court vision was hijacked by Limbaugh and Gingrich, two of the most visible pundits atop the conservative media machine. While the Republicans who wield actual power in this process - U.S. Senators and especially judiciary committee members – have to angle for a single TV appearance, Gingrich holds court with his paid platform on Fox. (Rush also dropped by there Wednesday). Gingrich amplifies his views with an online regiment that is downright millennial in its scope -- including "Second Life." His instantly infamous "Latina woman racist" tweet dominated several news cycles, and his blog post recanting it topped all online political news Wednesday, (according to the news aggregator Memeorandum). And now Limbaugh is backtracking as only he can, volunteering that he might support Sotomayor after all -- but he still thinks she is a racist. Apparently racism is not a disqualifying judicial quality for him.

The film opens with a cave-in at the paper mine. Young thin Adriano Gusman rushes in to tell cute Jhonatan the news. (Jhonatan may have his �h� out of place, but everything else about him is fine.) These two stop to get their rocks off before going to get the rocks off the trapped miner. This is known as prioritizing. Adriano gets to boff the attractive Jhonatan.
Luckily the poor injured miner doesn�t have to depend on those two to rescue him as two other hard-hatted (and of course hard-dicked) dudes come to his aid. As one of these rushes out for air, the other administers CPR which turns into a passionate kiss from the reviving man. Receiving no nourishment from his rescuer�s tit, the formerly injured man seeks sustenance from his savior�s succulent uncut cock. �Shupa� the Portuguese for �suck is repeated encouragingly.
The rescurer is now completely nude (probably hot in the mine) and gives the rescued just what the doctor ordered: an anal injection. Both produce thick loads.
We then follow two miners on their trek through the paper labyrinth. They stop to rest, finding metal more attractive in each other, though I find neither to be so.
The fourth and final scene appears to take place in the mine office despite its orange walls and white furniture. The foreman and young Kaio de Castro are going over a map of the mine when the foreman decides to go over Kaio. I can�t blame him as Kaio is so pretty as to be almost feminine which is emphasized by his earrings and necklace. (There is another earring in his left tit.) He could be my tour guide on an Amazon cruise anytime. Kaio sucks lovingly on the foreman�s dick and offers up his ass for a bit of mining. Kaio�s own cock is really hard and curves upward like a rhino�s horn. Yet this pretty organ is completely ignored by the foreman. (I would not have done so.) Kaio willingly submits to a doggy fuck, rides the other�s cock facing both directions, and then lies back on the white table for a missionary reaming. When he cums the spooge hits his neck and bathes his chest. The foreman comes on Kaio�s thigh. They then return to examining the plans.
The finale shows the miners in the paper mine who have apparently discovered the mother load.
In addition to the cheesy sets the other fault I find is the fact that the sex in not truly reciprocal. Roles are clearly delineated as tops and bottoms. He who sucks, gets fucked. The film is well photographed; wisely, the opening and closing scenes have the best sex and prettiest guys.

The fans don't oppose a playoff; it's the Bowls and College Presidents who oppose it. I think they will come around in 2015 when the Rose Bowl's contract ends. This season alone shows the BCS doesn't really work when there is no dominating team. But does a playoff really work either? The hot hand usually wins in a playoff not necessarily the team whose whole body of work for a season is most impressive. Look at how many wild card teams win it all in pro baseball and football.

Thus far this offseason, such has been the case.
For the 2014 football season, the Aggies have reportedly received five verbal commitments from the following high school football players: quarterback Cassius Corley (Grants, NM), linebacker Travis Parnell (Rio Rancho, NM), linebacker J.B. Copeland (Carroll, Texas), offensive lineman Dezmand Candalerie (North Mesquite, Texas) and offensive lineman Jamin Smith (Douglas County, Colo.).
"Our base for recruiting is New Mexico and Texas," Martin said during a Thursday phone interview. "That's a major focus. Not just scholarship athletes, but also walk-on players. Trying to get as many kids involved in the program as we can."
Once appointed as head coach, Martin revamped the Aggies recruiting personnel: previously with a heavy presence in Southern California, he placed four coaches to recruit full-time in Texas, with an additional coach available to also help in the effort.
In the head coach's eyes, a greater emphasis on Texas can have a handful of benefits. For one, it's New Mexico's neighboring state, and remains a hotbed for football talent. And, after playing an independent schedule in 2013, the Aggies will begin competing in the Sun Belt Conference, with the majority of their league opponents east of Las Cruces, including teams such as Texas State, Arkansas State, Louisiana-Monroe and Louisiana-Lafayette - programs located in or near Texas.
"The Sun Belt has a great identity and (brand) in Texas with high school players," Martin said. "That gives us instant credibility in that area."
The debate pertaining to the Aggies recruiting more regionally has been a long-standing one in Las Cruces. The arguments from the local community that's supported such a notion points to the success of local high school football programs in the area - particularly Mayfield and Las Cruces High School, which are state-title contenders on an annual basis.
That, and with the Aggies poor history in football, the prevailing question remains: why not give local and in-state talent a shot?
Greg Berry, a local high school football radio announcer, said the "presumption" that New Mexico athletes can't play Division-I football has hurt NMSU's program over the years. Berry added he believed the Aggies could build a successful program with New Mexico-based athletes as part of it's foundation.
"Do a good job connecting and networking with in-state coaches and alumni coaches from out of state," Berry said. "Stay in touch, find out who the best players are .... Look at the tapes and give an honest evaluation.
"You can't disrespect your state before you even start."
Martin said in order to recruit New Mexico effectively, "you have to be a great (talent) evaluator."
"You get a kid into your program, into your weight room," Martin said. "Two years down the road, what's the kid going to look like?"
Brad Beasley, a former Mayfield football player and current radio analyst for local high school football, had similar thoughts.
"Do I think that there are (in-state) kids who can be Division-I football players? Yes," Beasley said. "Do I think they'll be All-Conference players right away? Probably not. But you won't get many of them anyway (when recruiting elsewhere)."
Still, the Aggies are in Division-I college football, where winning games trumps all, according to Mark Hartshorne. A former New Mexico high school football coach (he was defensive coordinator at Las Cruces High School during the 1980s), Hartshorne said it's simply a numbers game in New Mexico: a state population of about two million just won't churn out an abundance of Division-I football talent on an annual basis.
"The population doesn't support a lot of athletes on that level," he said. "There just aren't a lot of people to pick from.
"How many kids leave New Mexico and go play Division-I college football outside of New Mexico? The answer is, there's very, very few .... And if they can't go outside New Mexico, are they really Division-I talents?"
Such a statement could very well have merit. As a case in point, last year's Las Cruces Bulldawgs football team won a state championship with a roster loaded with local talent. Regardless, none of the team's standout seniors - a skilled quarterback (Jonathan Joy), a physically gifted tight end (Kamryn Dixon), an imposing lineman (Taylor Tisby) and a handful of dominant offensive linemen - netted Division-I scholarship offers.
Don Kloppenburg, a college football coach for close to 30 years (he served separate stints as an assistant coach at New Mexico State during his career), believes while recruiting more in-state talent is good from a public-relations standpoint - and could possibly be done best with an effective walk-on program in place - also added "it doesn't help your win-loss record."
"To be competitive nowadays in Division-IA, you pretty much need a recruiting budget that will allow you to recruit nationally," he said. "Go where you have to go to get talent. You can't be limited by budget."

I have to tell you something. Come close…okay, ready? Making lists is my happy place. A pen and a piece of paper. A bulleted list. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yes. It just gives me happy chills all the way down to my toes. Make lists and save the world! Laundry? Check! Beds? Check! Dusting? Who the heck does that? Dinner? Check! Dessert? CHECK!

By healthy, I mean healthy fats, good for you meats, good for you flours and oils. I get emails and comments from some of you wondering why I call a recipe "healthy" when it's loaded with butter. Well…butter is good for you. Snack on THAT.
So, please refrain from sending me links and comments about saturated fats killing me slowly and how I should embrace Splenda and canola oil because the jury is still out on coconut oil. That will save us all a bunch of time – and where there is time saved, there is time to make a chocolate cake. Amen.

Posts Tagged 'Phantom Menace'
I Saw 'The Phantom Menace,' I Know How This Turns Out
General Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, a Republican, said governance changes within the system were a matter of "when, not if," and that university chancellors should be empowered to "truly be the chief executive officers."
Vos added: "Does the role of allowing faculty to make a huge number of decisions help the system or hurt the system?"
The exciting next step in destroying the University of Wisconsin system.
I Was a Teenage Padawan
Yesterday it was Ahmed Best; today it's Jake Lloyd, who says the Phantom Menace made his life a "living hell."
The mere existence of child actors, it should be said, is strongly at odds with just about every other ideological formation we have regarding childhood; I'm pretty sure we've all decided to just overlook the contradiction entirely on the grounds that we like having movies to watch.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is not a rumination on the ravages of age, though early in the movie it briefly pretends to be. Nor is it an examination of the Cold War's culture of paranoia and suspicion—though it has a little bit of that too—nor is it about the way power ultimately looks the same whatever uniform it happens to wear or which flag it claims to fight under, nor about Chariot of the Gods and saucer men from Mars. In the end, it's about being an Indiana Jones movie, which is to say it's all about car chases, booby traps, clever in-jokes, and the sheer, unstoppable force that is Harrison Ford's charisma.
And it does this job quite well.
Now, if I were inclined to look at Indiana Jones with anything like a critical mind, I'm sure I'd find plenty of negative things to say about this movie, from a story that's strikingly light on character or emotional depth (even for its genre) to more than a few embarrassingly silly plot moments to a characteristically Lucasian overreliance on CGI. (Don't even get me started on politics, postcoloniality, or heteronormativity.) El Dorado is a good MacGuffin, but it just doesn't pack the same mythic punch as the Lost Ark or the Quest for the Grail—and while I thought the alien stuff was pretty well-handled overall, fundamentally there's a style mismatch here that approaches the level of category error.
And of course on some pure plane of aesthetic valuation it must be said that Lucas and Spielberg should have resisted the temptation to mess with perfection and let Last Crusade stand as the proper ending to this story it's always been. In this sense Crystal Skull is actually worse than superfluous—the need to return to Indy, 20 years on, undercuts and arguably destroys entirely the narrative arc that somehow took the cartoon hero of Raiders and turned him into a human being. Last Crusade didn't need a sequel; the trilogy was already a complete story, not Episodes 44-46 in the 108 Adventures of Indiana Jones.
Phantom Menance betrayed us right up front, and was pretty noisy about it. What Crystal Skull does is quieter, subtler, and perhaps ultimately more devastating to its franchise: it takes that human being from Crusade and turns him back to a cartoon again.
If I were inclined to look at Indiana Jones critically, I'm saying, I think I'd have a pretty ambivalent view of Crystal Skull. But tonight I'm not at all inclined to do any of that—I watched Indiana Jones tonight as I always do, with the spellbound eyes of my twelve-year-old self, and he liked the movie just fine.

November 26, 2015
The government says the nation's unemployment rate dipped in December by one-tenth of one percent to four-point-nine percent.
The report also indicates that growth in payrolls was not up to hopes.
The Labor Department says 108-thousand jobs were added in December, about half of what was expected. Among the revisions
issued to earlier reports, there's word that November payrolls
expanded by more than 300-thousand, higher than earlier reported.
The decline in the jobless rate reflects the fact that some Americans left the labor market for any number of reasons.
With December's numbers now in, the economy added about two (m)
million jobs last year.

Not a Latin loverMay 19, 2013 12:00 AM
Share with others:
The recent passing of former Gov. George M. Leader reminded me of when I was a high school Latin student at New Kensington High School in the late 1950s. As an extra credit project I sent letters to several prominent people asking their opinions about the value of studying Latin.
Gov. Leader was gracious enough to send me a thoughtful response, though I think my teacher was disappointed that he did not express much enthusiasm for studying the language. Fortunately, several other correspondents were more enthusiastic about my course of study.

Marc Edelman (Prof., Hunter/GC, Anthropology) addressed the UN Human Rights Council's Open-Ended Intergovernmental Working Group on a United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas, which held its first session in Geneva July 15–19, 2013. At the request of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Edelman presented a briefing paper on the question of how to define "peasants," since the first article of most international human rights instruments is used to define the rights holders. The Working Group heard from panelists who included past and present UN special rapporteurs, academic specialists on agrarian studies, and representatives of civil society organizations, including transnational movements of peasants and fisherfolk. Edelman's paper and other information on the session are available at http://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/HRC/RuralAreas/Pages/FirstSession.aspx

Sneaking into businessComment on this story
One of the first things you notice about 24-year-old Sifiso Dlamini are his cool sneakers, tan-coloured half-boots with checked fabric insets.
If you're a label nut, you might subconsciously click through your list… Adidas? Nike? Reebok?
None of the above, actually. They are the work of Dlamini himself. Well, Dlamini and his team of four, beavering away in a factory in Linbro Park near Alexandra township.
His label is Eish Hade, which comes from township slang meaning "oops, sorry!"
"Let's say you step on someone's toe by mistake when he or she is wearing brand-new shoes, you say, 'eish, hade!' That's how I came up with the name," chuckles Dlamini, a diminutive, soft-spoken young man with intelligent eyes and a quick pace.
I find Dlamini at his workshop, with his busy team in a sparsely kitted out space containing a couple of long work tables and two sewing machines. The workshop is deep within the cavernous premises of the brand activation specialists, Zinto Activation Group.
This is a huge step up from Dlamini's beginnings, working from home in Meadowlands, Soweto, using a bed as a work surface.
Dlamini's passion for sneakers ignited while he was at school.
In his spare time he would sketch sneaker designs, and he'd save his lunch money to buy different pairs of sneakers, mainly Adidas, his favourite brand growing up.
By the age of 12, he had 12 pairs.
"My mother is a dressmaker and had a sewing machine at home, so I learnt how to sew. I decided one day to disassemble an old shoe and put it together again, to see how it was made," he says.
In 2008, after he'd finished school and was running a spaza and games shop from home, Dlamini made his first rough sneaker sample.
"I showed it to my family and friends and they really liked it," he recalls.
Determined to turn his hobby into a business, he approached The Business Place, which assists start-ups. They referred him to Sasol ChemCity, the business incubation arm of Sasol, where his potential was immediately recognised.
Dlamini was sent on a shoe manufacturing training course at African Action Academy in Roodepoort.
"I learnt a lot, especially about getting the shape right. The toe shape is the most difficult part of making a shoe," says Dlamini.
He came out with a more refined version of his original half-boot sneaker and people loved it. He launched his company, Eish Hade, in 2009, bringing on board two of his school friends, Nkululeko Ndlovu and Prince Nkonyane, both of whom have contributed creatively to the designs and colours of the range of beautiful handcrafted sneakers that Eish Hade has since produced.
Dlamini has followed a non-traditional marketing approach, spreading his brand through big hip hop events – where he and his team showcases their wares – and social networks like Facebook. His first order was for about 20 pairs of sneakers, and it was only then that his team felt the hard work that comes with burgeoning success. "We sweated, I can tell you – I only have two sewing machines," he says.
A much-needed break came when he went to the Back to The City hip hop event in Newtown in February and happened to meet Kyle Verbeek, account executive at Zinto Activation Group, who introduced him to the owner of the group, Michelle Combrink.
"Michelle loved our work and gave me R10 000 to grow the business. She also offered us this work space for free, and is mentoring us in how to grow a sustainable business," says Dlamini.
Orders for his sneakers trickle in via Facebook, but the biggest bulk order to date has been for 50 pairs, from Mzantsi sportswear chain, where his sneakers have proved a popular choice even among much bigger African brands.
"Shoppers come in and although they might not know my brand, they like the look of the shoes and buy them," he says.
Also, Dlamini's shoes are getting excellent exposure during other brand activations, such as one for BIC pens, that Zinto Activation Group is engaged in.
But his shoes aren't just a hit locally. Orders are streaming in from around the world – Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia and even the US. "I got an order from the US for 10 pairs after an American journalist wrote about me for her publication," says Dlamini.
This has presented him with a new business challenge – shipping stock. He hasn't yet got the knack of it, he admits, and is fretting about the order destined for the US.
"Up to now I've used the postal system to send orders, but we're struggling with delivery time. I'm still working out how to do the shipping thing, but I'll get there," he smiles shyly.
More pressing is the need for three more machines. "If I can get those, I can produce 100 pairs of sneakers a month," he says.
It's an exciting roller-coaster ride for a young man who as a kid imagined he'd be an accountant.
His day starts at 5am in his flat in the Joburg CBD, where he writes in his journal before catching a taxi to work by 9am.
He has a goal, and it's a big one. "I want to get into the mainstream, into the big stores," he says.
That'll mean much higher production levels, I tell him. He's unfazed. "My goal is to expand, and to push our production up to maybe 2 000 a month," he says.
Something tells me that in the months to come, Adidas and Nike might have a bit of home-grown competition on their hands – with all that enviable label consciousness that comes with it. - The Star

Additional pay is a non-base building increase to salary and is not a part of the employee's regular appointment base salary. Examples include awards, bonuses, moving expenses, incentive pay, etc. To receive additional pay, the employee must have an active appointment for the time period in which the services were performed. The Additional Pay Form must be completed and routed for off-line campus signature approval before any payments can be processed. Refer to the information on Approval Routing for Additional Pay. The Additional Pay Earnings Code Matrix provides guidance in the types of earning codes available for additional pay, the appropriate use of these codes and examples, and identifies personnel groups for which each code applies. Please review section 1.2.4 of the Employee Services Procedures Guide for more specific information on processing Additional Pay including approval routing information charts found at the bottom of the page.
The department liaison or college/school dean's office reviews the Employee Services Procedures Guide to determine appropriateness of payment, appropriate earnings code to use, and approval routing requirements.
Department liaison or college/school dean's office fills out the Additional Pay Form, obtains department Hiring Authority or Dean's signature, and sets up additional pay batch in HRMS time collection, if needed. The time collection batch approver will be the appropriate campus division officer's office (Chancellor's Office, Senior VC/CFO, VC for Student Affairs, VC for Research, VC for Administration or Faculty Affairs for academic units.)
Department liaison or dean's office forwards the Additional Pay Form with department level signatures to Employment Services.
Employment Services reviews the Additional Pay Form and signs if approved.

Where my *****es at?
Where is all my *****es at?
This ************ right here,
This for all ya'll ************s
You a *****, you a *****, i'm a *****,
We all *****es,
In this **********ing game
Just be a bad *****,
When you be a *****
[Verse 1]
I wakes up from dreaming of money,
To thinking of money
On a daily basis,
Make sure the money
Make the way to the safe
Put your bet's on the "be " to the "ra"
From the west side of chi' "t",
******s want to ride with me
Cause i'm the live-est,
Get high with me
Cause i'm fly
Obsessed with me
Cause i'm shy
No matter which whip i pick,
And butt-kick your little buckets
And leave your face with a disgusted look
As you bite the dust
I get them big things
This is hard ****, head bob,
Breakin your neck,
Raw ****
My *****es keep hollin'
Call us
And it don't quit
Till the earth split
This *****
A baller wit' it
In a black jag,
It's a fact that,
Brat the first solo
To go platt,
And if it sound like i'm braggin,'
I am, cause i'm proud of myself,
Pat a ***** on the back,
Damn...straight to the bank i go
Created a game plan

Switch four in the diablo
Vacationin' morocco

And cause i get it

To bust open another *****s accounts and be out
To the tellee or the atm in a 750 gray bm

For me to survive and stay high.

And since i cover the mortgage,
The car note, the porsche, and the condo

Dollar signs are all i see excuse me,
I got to cut the line leave you *****s behind
For the third time and shine on purpose
Blind'em every time i surface
If an aries hurt you you must deserve it
Every bit of a dime is worth it,
Keep on swerving not perfect
But striving for that working with diamonds,
And flirting with the finest cats,
Desert the broke *****s that still live
With their momma's at
Provoke most to want to wine a dine brat,
Cause i'm dope from coast to coast
Guarantee to fall in love with me
After just one toast,
Smoke weed that'll make you say,
I ain't never getting' high again
*****s always want to see what i'm riding in
So i slide in the benz outfit match
From head to tims
Rims you ain't seen before fein for doe,
Screamin' cream for mo and mo,
Reap the benefits if it's free ****,
I take gifts in all shapes and sizes
And diamonds is my favorite wish,
Picture me rich a genious,
When it comes to me collecting these chips,
And this to...

Rita Ora swept onto the red carpet last night at the Elle Style Awards in London in a stunning white Marchesa gown, with the Hot Right Now star channeling old Hollywood in the full skirted dress that she claimed later made her feel like a "princess" for the night.
The singer, who joined the likes of Emma Watson, Katy Perry and Lily Allen at the star-studded occasion, teamed her look with slicked back locks and her trademark red lipstick.

This product is great for taking care of new tattoos. It's pretty goopy and sticky, but nothing works better for keeping fresh ink moisturized. I've even used it as a lip balm in a pinch, and it worked wonders on my boyfriend's hands when they were raw from washing dishes at work. For the price, it can't be beat.

I've found this to be good for moisturizing very dry skin in the winter, but I don't like the greasy texture. I use it for a quick fix when I haven't kept up a good moisturizing regimen. It doesn't leave my skin especially soft, but when it gets so dry that it itches, this works quickly to take away the itch and heal the dryness. I use gloves and socks so the greasy film doesn't get on anything I come into contact with. It doesn't take much, so a tube lasts a long time.

Gonna have to join the party on this one. great versatile MUST HAVE in every household. Let me just add this that I haven't read yet, mainly for mommies, it's a great diaper rash ointment. safe for babies, way less chemicals, heals a lot faster. It's so great I'm shocked more moms haven't discovered this, especially the humanitarians) We use the walmart knockoff which we discovered works the same (just in a white tub, "equate advanced healing ointment"), and my mom uses this on my baby sister, I will also use this on my children in the future. AWESOME for tattoos, my whole family uses this for that purpose! My grandma uses this on her psoriasis, she claims it's better than every prescription she's ever used. Everyone needs this!

I have been using this stuff for years.
the skin around my eyes tends to get dry and tight with climate change and this is the only thing I can use that doesn't irritate my eyes or skin.
I use this on chapped lips, dry cuticles, rough areas on feet, bug bites, you name it.
I also found that this is safe and very effective on tattoos! it keeps them moisturized and helps heal them.
it works amazing!

I seem to be in the minority, but I don't get the hype. This product seems to be the same as Vaseline, in both texture and usage. It's thick and goopy and greasy, with no bad smell. I didn't try it on my face or any skin irritation, so maybe that's why I wasn't impressed. I've used it on lips, elbows and feet to moisturize and it did an OK job but nothing really exciting. Any lip balm I've tried works fine and I actually prefer a foot cream with some glycolic acid to help exfoliate while softening. No major complaints, but I'm probably not going to rush out to buy again once it's used up.

I will never be without my trusty tube of Aquaphor. I use it on my chronically dry lips all day long and it really helps my lipstick go on smoother. I like it better for this purpose than Homeoplasmine, which used to be my HG, as it lasts a little longer and I don't have to order it online. Great on sunburns, eczema patches, and otherwise grumpy skin.

I have used the Aquaphor healing ointment for many years now. I even got my husband using it after he got a large tattoo done, and he was amazed at how it healed the skin right away. This stuff is nothing short of amazing.
If you have a sunburn, (which I get EVERY summer w/o fail) This stuff will be your best bet.
Although I want to add, I see a lot of people say this is not greasy. It does have a slight Vaseline consistency, so yes, I'd actually say it IS greasy. A little (and boy do I mean a little) goes a long way.
I could not use this under my makeup because it just wouldn't mesh well. I usually use it a few nights per week. I lather it all over my face and sleep with it like it's a mask. When I wake up my face looks refreshed, and feels super smooth. Those are the days I usually don't have to wear foundation, & I get compliments on how good my skin looks.
There really are so many uses for this product, it's a great thing to have handy. If you buy the large jar of it (14 oz / $10 Walgreen's) It will last you well over a year.

So this is me also jumping on the bandwagon...
I can only agree- this is an amazing multi-purpose product.
It soothes dry lips, heels and elbows and anywhere else where you need moisturizing.
It is also great on scabs and abrasions as a healing ointment.
It is fragrance free, non comedogenic and suitable for babies.
It saved my heels this week when I got bad blisters from new shoes. I just put it on the blisters and the skin was much better the next day and healed the day after.
I am also using it on a scratch on my face I gave myself by accident while sleeping...I have no skinproblems while using it on that small area so I am really considering to try it out as a moisturizer once a week. Oh, and the scratch is just a little red (not "inflamation red") and no scab is forming over it...the skin looks soft and calm already.
It costs about 10 � for 40ml and comes in a small tube. It�s hygienic to use and the tube is absolutely non-fancy looking- which I like for a change.
I honestly think that everyone who is interested in skincare should own this product as it is very basic, inexpensive and so versatile!

Love this stuff!
I was suffering from an allergic reaction that left my lips dry, scaly, painful and honestly kind of gross. I tried this after reading some promising reviews and I was not disappointed.
Within about 5 minutes my lips didn't hurt at all anymore and within about an hour, they looked healed.
You can use this as a lip balm, cuticle cream, hand lotion, after shave balm.....
It isn't greasy, it doesn't really have a scent and it's not expensive.

text: Mississippi Considers Plate Honoring ... KKK Leader Sons of Confederate Veterans want to honor general-turned Klan leader By Kevin Spak, Newser User Posted Feb 10, 2011 12:55 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (79) (Newser) – The Sons of Confederate Veterans have rustled up some controversy in Mississippi, by proposing a specialty license plate honoring Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, one of the earliest Grand Wizards of the Ku Klux Klan. The group wants the state to issue a series of plates commemorating the 150th anniversary of what it calls the "War Between the States," with a different design every year from now to 2015. Forrest would be 2014's plate, according to the AP. "Seriously?" the state's NAACP president said when asked about the plates. "Wow." Forrest is praised by some war buffs as a tactical genius, but others revile him for ordering the 1864 massacre of black Union troops at Fort Pillow, and for his aforementioned Klan activities. Forrest did distance himself from the Klan later in his life, however. "If Christian redemption means anything … he redeemed himself," says one SCV member. The SCV have had a special plate since 2003, which features a small Confederate flag.

Resource partitioning within a species, trophic polymorphism is hypothesized to evolve by disruptive selection when intraspecific competition for certain resources is severe. However, in this study, we reported the secondary partitioning of oviposition resources without resource competition in the damselfly Ischnura senegalensis. In this species, females show color polymorphism that has been evolved as counteradaptation against sexual conflict. One of the female morphs is a blue-green (andromorph, male-like morph), whereas the other morph is brown (gynomorph). These female morphs showed alternative preferences for oviposition resources (plant tissues); andromorphs used fresh (greenish) plant tissues, whereas gynomorphs used decaying (brownish) plants tissues, suggesting that they chose oviposition resources on which they are more cryptic. In addition, the two-color morphs had different egg morphologies. Andromorphs have smaller and more elongated eggs, which seemed to adapt to hard substrates compared with those of gynomorphs. The resource partitioning in this species is achieved by morphological and behavioral differences between the color morphs that allow them to effectively exploit different resources. Resource partitioning in this system may be a by-product of phenotypic integration with body color that has been sexually selected, suggesting an overlooked mechanism of the evolution of resource partitioning. Finally, we discuss the evolutionary and ecological consequences of such resource partitioning.

The Future of Area Studies – Summer Institute at Columbia
This post is about Eurasia. Europe and Asia combined, Eurasia, however, is a geopolitical term often referring to post-Soviet countries only. Which makes it our museum's object of study and display. Tiny bits and pieces of Eurasian art and history have found their way into our galleries ne way or another. I am at Columbia University now attending the NEH Summer Institute "America Engages Eurasia." Notable professors, public administrators and officials have come to speak to us. They all touched upon the topic of the decline of interest in and funding of the study of Russia and neighboring countries (with the exception of, probably, Central Asia) post Soviet collapse. The need now is to re-think and re-organize the scholarly enterprise known as area studies that has traditionally focused on one area of the world. But apart from marketing, what is it that would re-invigorate the study of other countries? Well, people, aren't you all doctors of philosophy ? I think we have forgotten about the 'philosophy' part of it. Philosophy frees from the particulars of an individual discipline and they shold never cut the umbilical cord that connects to the progress of philosophy. Philsophy of culture now is far ahead of regional studies. Time to catch up!

LOS ANGELES (AP) - "BioShock" is returning to the sea.
Irrational Games creative director Ken Levine says that an upcoming downloadable chapter for "BioShock Infinite" will be set in Rapture. The fantastical underwater metropolis served as the locale for the original "BioShock" shoot-'em-up video game in 2007. The follow-up "BioShock Infinite" was set in the floating city of Columbia and released earlier this year. "Infinite" was the top selling game in March, according to NPD Group.
Levine said Monday a two-part story-driven chapter will feature "Infinite" protagonists Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth in Rapture, while the first edition of downloadable content is a fighting-focused mode called "Clash in the Clouds" that takes place in four unseen areas of Columbia. The first chapter is set for release this week for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

A problem with conditions given on inner characteristics and on the line of degeneracy for a mixed-type equation with singular coefficients
Institute of Mathematics, National University of Uzbekistan named after Mirzo Ulugbek, Tashkent, Uzbekistan
Boundary Value Problems 2013, 2013:210 doi:10.1186/1687-2770-2013-210Published: 12 September 2013
In an unbounded domain, we consider a problem with conditions given on inner characteristics in a hyperbolic part of the considered domain and on some parts of the line of parabolic degeneracy. We prove the unique solvability of the mentioned problem with the help of the extremum principle. The proof of solvability is based on the theory of singular integral equations, Wiener-Hopf equations and Fredholm integral equations.
