I generally like to use a clarifying shampoo because I have an oily scalp but I think this product made my back break out. I really wanted to love this because it is so cheap but unfortunately a few days into using it my back broke out like crazy. Also my sister admitted to sneakily using it and she is currently experiencing a harsh break out on her face. Although we can't be positive I'm blaming this shampoo, in the trash it goes!

I've used this off and on for years with the clarifying conditioner. It effectively cleans my hair and gets rid of any product residue. The bonus is that it smells fantastic and it's only $1. In short it does what it claims. I just ran out but I'd like to try something different (as usual!) so I'm not repurchasing immediately, however I would be that I come back to this off an on throughout my lifetime just as I have in the past. :)

Although this shampoo was inexpensive, it did not work well for me. I like the smell of it and I do feel that it cleans my hair fairly well, however, it leaves my straight, black hair extremely dull. I get a much better shine from Neutrogena anti-residue shampoo.

Oh goodness! Just used this for the first time after it arrived today and I don't think my hair could possibly get any more shiny and clean! Fabulous product, couldn't be happier with it. Had to knock off a lippy for the price due to unavailability in the UK so I had to pay more. Will last ages however as I'll be using it once a week and the bottle is massive! It definitely did the job and got rid of all the build up in my hair, it feels so much lighter and bouncy now. :) The smell isn't too overpowering it's just very fresh.
UPDATE 9/1/2012: This and Dove Daily Treatment Intensive Repair Conditioner = Winning combination!

A hair stylist suggested I start using a clarifying shampoo after I told her I was losing a lot of hair and she noticed that there was build-up at my roots from other products that could be causing it. I decided to try this shampoo based on reviews here and I am very pleased with it. I use this once or twice a week or whenever I put a lot of product like Dust It in it and it does a really good job of removing the build-up. The scent is pleasant and not overpowering, and the price cannot be beat.

I bought this at the local dollar store, so the price is awesome, as you get quite a lot of shampoo for only a dollar. The shampoo itself is good and does what it's supposed to, as other reviewers have mentioned. I follow up with a good deep conditioner to make sure my hair is nice and soft afterwards.
The only really negative thing about this is the packaging. I didn't check mine beforehand since I had bought the Vo5 clarifying conditioner (which is great for co-washing) beforehand and didn't have issues, but my cap was apparently broken and it got all over the shopping bag. Luckily I only had a few other things in there and they were all in plastic packaging so it didn't ruin anything, but be sure to make sure your cap is tightly on and possibly even make sure it's upright. I took off one lippie for that since it wasted a ton of product and was annoying to clean up. But it's a great product regardless, go try it!

This is absolutely great at what it's meant to do: clarify. This shampoo gets all of the gunk out of my hair and smells delicious to boot!
I use this twice a month, concentrating on my roots and midlength. I shampoo and rinse twice, and then hit my hair with a super deep conditioning treatment, like Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask. Afterwards, my hair is slightly more responsive to products and styling, and just feels better.
I would rebuy, but I can't foresee needing to in the immediate future since you get so much product for so little cash!

HOLY CRAPSICLE! This is the cheapest and BESTEST (I know that's not a word...) clarifying shampoo that I have ever tried. I've tried many by the way, but none as cheap as Vo5. It's equally as effective as other more pricey brands, but for only a dollar. The smell is amazing, but the quality of the shampoo makes up for it!

I ADORE this shampoo. Really. It's wonderful. It's cheap, it cleans, it leaves my hair bouncy and gives it a clean slate.
The ingredients aren't awful. I'm not a fan of the scent, but what can I say? Who cares what it smells like if it works!
Absolutely in love.

I tried this out in the hopes of finding a cheaper alternative to Bumble and Bumble's Tonic shampoo, but switching from Tonic to this shampoo brought back my old dandruff. I don't think it's the shampoo's fault; I looked forever before finding a shampoo that got rid of my dandruff, but I'm a bit disappointed that this one couldn't serve as a cheaper replacement. It did make my hair shiny, though. If you don't have massive dandruff, try it out. It's cheap enough that if you don't like it, it's not a huge loss.

How Legal Aid helps
Since its inception in 2008, the Child Help legal clinic staffed by lawyers and paralegals from the Legal Aid Society of Greater Cincinnati has received more than 500 referrals a year. It helps keep children healthy and families stable by:
Eliminating health hazards in homes.
Establishing family and child eligibility for and securing food stamps and cash assistance.
Accessing health insurance coverage for children.
Working with parents to improve transportation and child care.
Resolving child custody disputes.
Preventing homelessness.
Providing treatment and relief for domestic violence cases.
AVONDALE — Reginald Liddells asthma, otherwise easily controlled by an inhaler, had gotten the best of him.
His family had moved to a building at Reading Road and Blair Avenue into an apartment creeping with mold and crawling with roaches and Reginald got so sick that he missed school and spent the night at Cincinnati Childrens Hospital Medical Center.
It was bad, said Reginald, now 10. I had to go to the hospital a lot.
An article published online this week by the journal Pediatrics shows how the medical-legal partnership based at two Cincinnati Childrens clinics improved housing conditions for low-income children including Reginald and his brother Jaylijah, 8 diagnosed with asthma, developmental delay or behavioral disorder and elevated lead level.
The buildings were sick and were making children sicker.
An improved data-collection process, which included mapping, helped doctors and lawyers with the Legal Aid Society of Greater Cincinnati identify a concentration of ailments in patients living in 16 of 19 affordable housing apartment complexes. They were located in nine Cincinnati neighborhoods with the greatest concentration, seven complexes, in Avondale. All were owned by the same absentee landlord, NY Group.
We were shocked when we saw the same management, said Andrew Beck, a Childrens pediatrician specializing in asthma analysis and treatment. He is the lead author of an article on the project that will be published in the November issue of Pediatrics.
When NY Group group fell into foreclosure on the 19 complexes in July 2010, lending giant Fannie Mae the portfolio mortgage holder became responsible for improvements. To date, 11 of the 19 buildings have received systematic repairs.
Housing is the No. 1 predictor of human health, said Marcheta Gillam, a Legal Aid lawyer who worked with patient families and other NY Group tenants. If the housing is in peril, kids are going to go down the drain with the building.
Reginald started sinking fast not long after his mother and four siblings moved to Blair and Reading in June 2010.
Theyd painted over all the mold, and not long after the roaches started showing up on the stove, said Lynn Hale, 31, the childrens mother. Shes a home health aide who had to reduce her hours and eventually quit her job to tend to her childrens medical problems.
Reginald and Jaylijah grew lethargic, wanting only to lie on the couch and watch TV. Hale had to keep the window open, even in the high summer heat and humidity, because building management prohibited window air-conditioning units.
I put one in and received a letter that I would be evicted in three days if I didnt remove it, said Hale, who had been referred to the Child HeLP by pediatricians. Legal Aid won a lawsuit to allow building tenants to run window air conditioners if they paid an additional $40 a month. In Hales case, that was in addition to $456 monthly rent.
Still, Reginald had to be admitted overnight to bring his asthma under control. I couldnt breathe, he said.
Jaylijah had to undergo treatments lasting six to seven hours to treat his breathing problems.
Mold, water damage make asthma worse
Of the 45 Childrens clinic patients living in a unit owned by NY Group, known locally as Cincy Urban Apartments, 36 percent had asthma, 33 percent had developmental delay or behavioral disorder, and 9 percent had elevated lead level.
The asthma rate in these substandard buildings was significantly higher than the 19 percent rate of the low-income clinic population and much greater than than 10 percent rate in the general population.
NY Group received $4.25 million in rental subsidy payments a year from the federal government on its 19 Cincinnati complexes. Broken down, it received an average of $540 a month in government subsidy for each of its 677 Cincinnati apartment units.
The familys housing problems were typical of those facing other patient families: 69 percent reported pest infestation; 50 percent water damage or peeling paint, broken windows and gas leaks; and 25 percent poor ventilation.
Lynn Hale spent her own money to put in new tile and sub-flooring in the bathroom and kitchen to cover holes. In February 2011, the ceiling in her oldest daughters room collapsed from water. At that time, Legal Aid attorneys won a transfer of her housing subsidy to Crescent Court Apartments at 3719 and 3723 Reading Road.
It was better, Hale said.
But it still had problems, said Virginia Tallent, a Legal Aid lawyer, mainly water damage.
Saving, improving lives in Avondale
In May 2011, three months after Hale moved in, the roof was replaced at Crescent Court in Avondale.
In September, the Hale family moved into a two-family Section 8-subsidized home on Ridgeway Avenue. Reginald and his brothers asthma are now under control. Reginald is a fifth-grade honor student at Phoenix Community Learning Center and is always outside playing football or riding his skateboard.
He is so much happier, Lynn Hale said.
The medical-legal partnership is saving lives, said Ozie Davis, president of the Avondale Comprehensive Development Corp. Thats no exaggeration and as concrete as I can get.
It also has saved 677 units of invaluable affordable housing that could have been lost if the buildings had been condemned, Legal Aids Gillam said. Especially in Avondale, these large buildings would be irreplaceable, she said.
Partnership leaders want to expand to help more people. Its stretching the definitions of medicine and law and taking them to the streets.
The two Childrens Pediatric Primary Care Centers, located on Burnet Avenue in Avondale and at the Hopple Street Neighborhood Health Center, North Fairmount, have 60,000 clinical visits each year. Ninety percent are covered by Medicaid, and 5 percent have no insurance. Forty-seven percent of their patients live in poverty.
Robert Kahn, a Childrens pediatrician who co-founded the medical-legal partnership, said the clinics need to do more for all of the citys neighborhoods, but he noted that a good amount of clinic patients are from Avondale.
Clearly weve learned that these kids dont need another prescription for asthma medication, he said.

WAYNESBORO >> The Franklin County Industrial Development Authority approved a bond issue to finance Waynesboro Hospital's new medical office building.
The authority on Thursday authorized the sale of as much as $15 million in bonds to pay for the new building, which is currently under construction next to Waynesboro Hospital.
Summit Health CFO Kim Rzomp said interest rates are extraordinarily competitive and Summit is very happy with bids it has received for the bonds from regional banks.
The authority on Thursday also authorized issuing up to $28 million in bonds to refinance a previous bond issue.
The 2009 bond issue was used to either finance or refinance Chambersburg Hospital's emergency room expansion, construction and equipment at the Cancer Treatment Center, Mercersburg Health Center and Summit Health Center, as well as the architecture, engineering and preliminary construction costs related to the bed tower expansion at Chambersburg Hospital.
Waynesboro Hospital broke ground earlier this month for the $15 million medical office building, which is scheduled to be completed by summer 2015.
The three-story, 50,000-square-foot building includes office space for multiple Summit Health specialty practices, a family practice and a walk-in care center.
Waynesboro Hospital hopes that the new facility will help attract and retain physicians.
The hospital had looked for years for existing space within the Waynesboro area before deciding it was best to build a facility that would suit its needs into the future.
The walk-in care facility is designed to replicate Summit's other walk-in centers in Shippensburg and Greencastle.
The building project has been awarded a competitive state grant of $2.5 million from the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Project program.
Pyramid Construction of Lemoyne is the project manager. Several of the subcontractors involved in the project are local.

What did 2012 Mean for Social Marketers? Insight from Shoutlet Leaders
2013 has arrived, and many are infused with excitement about what it will bring to their company's social media presence and for the space overall.
In anticipation of news and trends that will unfold over the next 12 months, we wanted to pause and look back at 2012.
Reviewing the recent shifts that happened in 2012 can provide perspective on how far the space has come and helps frame new shifts that will no doubt occur in 2013.
To do this, we've gathered insight from leaders and customers at Shoutlet in an effort to answer this question:
What did 2012 mean for social media marketers?
Jason Weaver – CEO
In 2012 we watched as social media marketers moved from simple to sophisticated in their approach to social media marketing. When social media began heating up, much of it was experimental. Marketers launched a series of campaigns and had little to measure. After several trial-and-error attempts, they turned to tools to help them gain a 360-degree approach to their social media marketing efforts. These tools allowed them to keep pace with the ever-changing landscape of new communities (Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, etc.) and provide a level of measurement not possible before. Marketers have now set their sights on building meaningful connections with their customers in ways that benefit both the customer and the company. Doing so provides relevant and engaging content that their audience is willing to share with friends that will ultimately yield additional sales and affect the bottom line.
Eric Christopher – Vice President, Sales
2012 was a year of change for marketers where it became as important to foster their social communities versus just grow them.
- Marketers have listened to their social communities for too long with little to no connected business value. Marketers are just now beginning to take actions from those efforts.
- Social media now has a seat at the digital marketing table. Integrations and accountability are now front and center in 2013.
- Companies are bringing earned and owned media in-house with social media software. Control, cost savings, and ROI are critical now with social programs.
- We are still only in about the 3rd inning of a 9-inning game in enterprise social marketing. The best is yet to come and the ones in the best place to innovate with customers will win.
David Prohaska – Vice President, Marketing:
Social Marketers had to be more nimble than ever in 2012. As Facebook Timeline became mandatory for all users – brands changed how they presented themselves. When the Facebook News Feed Algorithm changed, and Twitter and LinkedIn further monetized their means of reach – brands began spending ad dollars to be visible to more followers. And as Pinterest and Instagram exploded – brands increased their use of images to drive a new type of social engagement.
In the end, how quickly brands responded to changes at the major social networks and how successfully they adapted to the blurring of paid, earned, and owned media greatly determined their level of social success.
Blake Samic – Director of Product Management:
In 2012, we saw the social web becoming increasingly mobile, visual, and targeted.
- The mobile shift is accelerating for consumers, and we saw every major social network increasingly support apps for the handheld and tablet form-factors across iOS, Android and mobile web.
- Instagram and Pinterest carried the most buzz this year, signaling a shift to more visual, photo-driven social experiences. Content targeting and paid promotion became much more important for social marketers. On Facebook especially, changes to the News Feed Algorithm (commonly referred to as EdgeRank) have made it essential for brands to throw some dollars behind their most engaging posts in order to reach more of their fans and friends of fans.
- Social login has become ubiquitous (especially Facebook and to a lesser degree, Twitter). Because of this, Facebook has a unique advantage in that they can see app adoption trends earlier than anyone (except the app company's employees). This gives them insight and can inform their acquisition strategy (see Instagram), and their feature build decisions (see Facebook Poke and Snapchat).
- Some surprises this year (for me) were the adoption of disposable messages, especially among a younger demographic (see SnapChat), and the launch the paid social network, with no ads, App.net.
Ed Peterson – Social Media & Demand Generation Consultant at YP and Shoutlet customer
As a B2B marketer, the evolution of social media advertising is the big story of 2012. From Facebook to Foursquare, targeting and engagement opportunities have exploded. While a lot of my work has centered on mastery of the nuances of social networks and developing corresponding content strategies, my key goal for 2013 is a deep dive into paid promotion.
What do you think? What did 2012 mean for social marketers? Tell us in the comments.

In may i'm travelling overland from bangkok to cambodia and ultimately Saigon. Realising this journey is likely to trurn me into a sweat factory i want to get an alternative route back to bangkok/koh samuai but the flights look really expensive. Is there anyway to get a boat from vietnam to thailand or some shorter route overland that won't mean back tracking through siem reap etc?

hope this helps

I think that this guy is on to something:
All persons shopping at a mall must undergo a strict background check, be issued a shopping license, and demonstrate good cause for entering a mall. Unlicensed persons will be refused entry to a mall, which will reduce crime, as only licensed shoppers will be inside the mall.

You joke; wait until you're filing out your request for electrical power or your amended request for a gasoline ration. The aristocracy would be overjoyed to have the power to force regular people to jump through more hoops to go shopping.

We have been saying everywhere that "the Microsoft Office System is a complete set of client applications, servers, and services that provide organizations with the means to create, manage, and enhance business solutions." We have also published a full load of content for every product since Beta 2. Yet, we realize that as a developer, sometimes it's hard to understand the big picture and how all the little pieces (features and product specifics) can work together to help you build a real-world solution.
Office is a huge family of products and technologies and we have been working with all product teams to create an overall map that helps developers to visually understand how all the pieces of the puzzle relate to each other, but more important, provide information of where on MSDN you can find technical documentation related to specific features. We want to go deep to namespaces, class members, and schemas for each product to list them all together on a single place.
As you can imagine, space is a huge limitation. While trying to put all this together, I happen to agree with the "Microsoft 2007 Office system – It's more than you think" slogan. Office is HUGE and there's limited space to place all PIA objects, namespaces, web services, product features, schemas, names, descriptions and relationships for more than 25 products and technologies. However, we have found a great way to summarize the most relevant ideas and make it fit all together.
I can share with you that I have found the exercise to be fascinating. Just imagine how much fun we've had having on a single meeting room PMs for all product teams + Developer Platform Evangelism + Marketing + Office Developer Documentation group and work together as a team to build the treasure map.
We are about to conclude this project, but in the meantime, I just couldn't wait to share with you a small version of our treasure map. I built this conceptual diagram using PowerPoint 2007 and then generated an image map that provides links to places on MSDN and Microsoft.com. You can hover the map and drill-down to find detailed information for each product and technology. Of course, this is a petite version, but soon, you'll get the complete treasure map.
So here goes...

Hey Erika! This treasure map is awesome, thanks for posting it !
Actually I'm doing some Office System 2007 training stuff for a developers in Mexico and this map will help a lot the attendees to see the big picture as you said. I can't wait for the final version.
Hi Roky!
Glad you liked it, we are getting ready to finish the treasure map. Tell me more about your training, I am from Mexico and I am interested in learning what kind of training you are doing.
Hey Erika! I'm doing the Office 2007 Beta Touchdown for Developers training around the country on behalf of Microsoft. This training is aimed for developers trying to upgrade their skills to the new Office System 2007. We see a lot of new stuff like the new Open XML Format, benefits with VSTO and Office 2007, new features in SharePoint 2007, InfoPath 2007, etc.
Didn't knew you're from Mexico, so I just have to say: Excelente trabajo Erika! Espero seguir en contacto contigo ;)
Rodrigo DC
Suerte con tu curso!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing this Erika.
Another great post from Erika. Definitely keep an eye on her blog . She's posted this image map for developers.

John Lilly ("Recovery solution simple: Rein in regulation," July 18) tells us that President Obama's stimulus of 2009 has failed to take us out of the recession due to high unemployment.
And since 1980, full employment following economic slumps is slowed by excessive regulations, and fiscal and monetary tinkering by the government.
But if the "invisible hand" of a free market was unfettered, we could achieve full employment.
Lilly should know that the National Bureau of Economic Research, which measures fluctuations in GDP, says the recession ended in June 2009.
Also, he ignores the facts that the changing and burgeoning global economy, high price of oil, cybernation and automation since 1975 can help explain lags in returning to full employment.
Rugged individualists like John Lilly ignore the experience of the Great Depression where free-market expression by President Herbert Hoover caused unemployment to reach 24 percent, a decrease in GDP of 30 percent and a loss of 10,000 banks.
Of course, it was the great economic stimulus of World War II that pulled us out of that depression.
Thankfully, Presidents Bush and Obama, through fiscal and monetary "tinkering," have kept us out of another Great Depression.

Voters play games to kill timeComment on this story
Pretoria - Last-minute voters waited anxiously in line at Clapham Primary School in Pretoria on Wednesday evening as the deadline for votes crept ever closer.
With an-hour-and-a-half to go before the 9pm cut-off, a large group of people were still waiting their turn to cast their votes.
However, they remained calm and enthusiastic to make their mark.
Lights inside the polling station had been switched on since 5.45pm and with darkness having set in around the voters, lights from cellphone screens could be seen from start to finish as the queue made its way toward the building where the Electoral Commission of SA (IEC) officials were doing their best to accommodate as many people as possible.
The popular choice among the waiting voters were either Candy Crush, or Angry Birds, popular cellphone games which were furiously being played in order to kill time in the long queues.
"I play Candy Crush on my phone all the time, but now my battery is totally flat and I'm bored," a distraught Luthando Mphahlehle said, still some way from the front of the queue.
"I played and played but my phone went off about five minutes ago, so now I wait. I should have charged the thing but I was in a rush to get here to vote." - Sapa

A domain specific language for contextual design.
Barn, Balbir and Clark, Tony (2010) A domain specific language for contextual design. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 6409 (2). pp. 46-61. ISSN 0302-9743
This item is available in the Library Catalogue
This paper examines the role of user-centered design (UCD) approaches to design and implementation of a mobile social software application to support student social workers in their work place. The experience of using a variant of UCD is outlined. The principles and expected norms of UCD raised a number of key lessons. It is proposed that these problems and lessons are a result of the inadequacy of precision of modeling the outcomes of UCD, which prevents model driven approaches to method integration between UCD approaches. Given this, it is proposed that the Contextual Design method is a good candidate for enhancing with model driven principles. A subset of the Work model focussing on Cultural and Flow models are described using a domain specific language and supporting tool built using the MetaEdit+ platform.

The atmosphere in your room or home features a great deal of pollutants including dander, dirt and pollen. These airborne toxins present a critical health hazard to you personally or your loves having asthma, allergies or other respiratory illnesses. Along with eliminating possible sources of toxins in your home, opt for obtaining air cleaner. This apparatus may move quite a ways to ameliorate the suffering related to respiratory difficulties.
Nevertheless, an acceptable charge of your environment is the best technique for decreasing coverage to indoor and outdoor allergens. To put it differently, having a clean home free of dirt, dander, smoke, pollen and other air-borne pollutants can lessen the irritation and impact on household members having asthma and other respiratory problems. A nice and reputable airfilters may move quite a distance in assisting you to control or decrease the coverage to indoor and outdoor allergens.
Although air cleaner is good and strongly suggested, you nevertheless must exercise some care before getting one. According to several health regulators, there are a number of specific kinds of air-filtration techniques which will lessen the number of airborne particles in an area. The American lung association advocates HEPA air-filter purifier for bedrooms of asthma sufferers. Based on Mayo clinic, an air chemical filtration is well suited for home venting methods. The Asthma and allergy foundation of America (AAFA) as well as the British allergy foundation advocate using Ionic filters and Hepa filters.
When you choose the incorrect kind of filtering, you may be deteriorating the problem by agitating and moving the prevailing particulate issue throughout your home. Therefore, its recommended that you simply bring out an exhaustive investigation before purchasing any air cleaner. Ionic airfilters do not generate large air-flow patterns to clear the atmosphere. They just count on on damaging ion interest to collect the air-borne particulate matter. They can gain air-borne allergens efficiently and toxins like pollen, dander, cigarette smoke and dirt. They additionally help enhance the standard of your interior environment.
Still, it must be stressed that atmosphere filtrations method shouldn't be thought to be the ultimate remedy for just about any respiratory illness. Additionally, its inadequate reason to ignore sound medical assistance and assistance about clearing your environment of resources of airborne toxins. Its also not a replacement for a comprehensive and routine cleansing of your home. Choosing the right air-filter will help both complement and improve your time and effort at decreasing air-borne particulate issues as well as keeping a niche profit full control review interior breathing environment.

The Eagles took LB Mychal Kendricks out of Cal with the 46th pick Friday.
If it looked like the Eagles were using the draft to upgrade their defense, coach Andy Reid cautioned against being deceived.
"A lot of it's best player available, the way it fell," he said. "It wasn't something where we came in with a plan that just says, 'Hey, we're going to strictly [go] just defense."
But the reality is the Eagles, who started slowly last year on defense but finished eighth overall, used three of the draft's first 59 picks to strengthen and fortify their most glaring weakness. ...

Ducks GM Brian Murray says he won't trade Scott Niedermayer, citing "the respect factor. I don't think he should go play somewhere else if this is his last year."

FREEPORT — Starting Monday, Freeport community activist Dean Wright will participate in a unique social experiment by living as a homeless person for 10 days to raise awareness about poverty in this area.
Over that time period, Wright plans to live outdoors at various Freeport locations where he has found homeless people living before. And while he is worried about safety and the cold weather, Wright said it's important for him to have this experience and help spread the word about homelessness.
Because local programs are effective in keeping many homeless people off the streets, some Freeport residents might not be aware that the problem still exists locally, Wright said. This experiment will hopefully shed more light on the issue, Wright said.
"For the last few years, I've thought about this as a way to bring about an awareness of homelessness," said Wright, executive director of the Freeport Area Church Cooperative (FACC), a charitable and homeless services provider. "Because we don't see (the homeless), we lose focus and fool ourselves that homelessness doesn't exist. This is an opportunity and an effort on our part to let people know this is a tough time of year for some people."
Start of Project
Wright will begin his project on Monday, Nov. 26, and will remain homeless until Thursday, Dec. 6, the day of FACC's biggest fundraising event of the year, the Hunger Luncheon.
He said he has several outdoor locations picked out where he will try to stay. Wright said he will also have a "home base" during the experiment, which is a shed that has no heat or electricity. Wright added that he may also stay a few nights at the FACC Liberty Avenue Mission, a nine-bed emergency shelter for single men. However, he will only stay there if there is an extra cot available.
"Right now, our shelter on Liberty Avenue is full," Wright said, adding that staying out in the elements may present a health concern. "I'm worried about snow and about pneumonia and catching cold."
Safety Issue
Wright said safety is also a concern, but that he is fortunate in that he is 6 foot 2 inches tall and over 200 pounds.
"I'm a pretty big guy. Hopefully, that'll deter anything, but you never know," Wright said. Wright will have a cell phone with him if there is an emergency.
During the experiment, Wright will limit his daily food expense to $6.50, which is the average amount that a homeless man receiving food stamps spends on food each day. In addition, Wright hopes to produce a video blog during his time as a homeless person that will be posted daily on FACC's Facebook page.
Major Mickey Hale, the officer/pastor of the Freeport Salvation Army, said he admires Wright's efforts to raise awareness about homelessness. Even so, Hale said that he himself would not attempt such an experiment because of his age and potential safety hazards.
Page 2 of 2 - "It's a good thing that he wants to do that, (but) it's not something I myself would do," Hale said, adding that homelessness remains an issue locally. "It's a steady, consistent problem."
Homeless Stats
According to an FACC news release, the FACC each year serves over 100 homeless individuals through its various service programs, including transitional housing, the Liberty Avenue Mission, and the Hope House, which is a permanent supportive housing program.
Wright estimated that the FACC is currently serving about 49 homeless men, and that the number will likely increase as winter arrives.
The FACC Hunger Luncheon will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 6, at the Masonic Temple Ballroom. Tickets are $25 and can be obtained by calling FACC at (815) 233-0435. Tickets can also be purchased on the day of the event.

With the end of 2013 rapidly approaching, and the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index up 25.4% and on track for its best year since 2003, it raises the question: Can the good times continue in 2014?
While it's human nature to think that just because stocks had a great year, it will be tough for the market to deliver a repeat performance, recent history suggests otherwise.
Since 1991, all seven times the S&P 500 finished up more than 20% in a calendar year, the benchmark index went on to post gains the following year, according to statistics compiled by Richard Peterson, director at S&P's Investment ...

pretty wide decision, albeit in a very boring fight.
Golovkin. Great to watch of course and hopefully over the next 2/3 years maybe we could see Golovkin, Chavez if he doesnt outgrow the weight, Barker, Macklin, Geale, Lee, Murray, Angulo, maybe Canelo Alvarez, Quillen and the random Pirog fight each other regularly. Shaping into a good division.
It's an interesting fight, I think. Martinez's speed and movement, plus the way he's able to beat up his opponents - he slices them to pieces - means he'll provide big problems for Golovkin. GGG benefited from Rosado's reluctance to open up too much. He could stalk without paying for it, and land shots while Rosado waited for counter opportunities.
But, as you say above Ero, that jab is a great tool. And one thing GGG has is consistency and patience. He'll gladly let Sergio have the early rounds just to be in position for the ***y one's mid-fight lull.

Wow. I don't know if I even have the words to say how amazing this weekend was- it was A-MA-ZING. This was my first ever Urban Craft Uprising show, and I'd heard really good things about it, but I didn't quite know what to expect. There was just something magical about the very precise choice of vendors and the very ( and I mean VERY) nicest customers I've ever encountered at any craft show, EVER. Basically I wanted to give over my earnings to just about every booth at the show, because every vendor there was truly talented and one of a kind. Not only was every booth unique, but the vendors were wonderful people and genuine artists. It made me feel really warm and fuzzy to think that I got to be among them. Another plus- my booth turned out juuuuust right.
I wanted to create a space that would invite people in to explore, and I think I managed to do that. My giant, four-sided button display created a sneaky hidden nook where I put my jewelry, and the back wall was literally a wall that I built to house purses, clutches, wallets and aprons. I like it because it reminds me of the spot in my sun room where I photograph my product.
Next to the purses wall was our little cash wrap, and next to that was the rest of my sewing notions. I think Eric makes an excellent sales associate!
The purse wall was sort of the highlight of the booth. I got to debut a brand new purse design, to great success! The Dewdrop Mini Tote was a definite favorite this weekend, and I'll be posting it in the shop later this week!
I was SO excited to have a live bouquet of flowers in my booth, which is something I've always wanted to do. These scrumptious ranunculus' (ranunculi?) came from my backyard! They're my absolute favorite flower, and they happened to bloom just before we left for the weekend. I think they made my booth extra, extra charming.
This little guy snapped off during the hustle and bustle, but he added a very lovely touch to the cash wrap!
I was so excited to be able to use real furniture this time around. This gifted dresser makes the perfect home for all of my jewelry! And I loved watching people explore the buttons and find this hidden nook behind them!
Mini pennants in a vintage mug. A mug that is exactly the perfect shade of green. I had so much fun mixing all of the shelving and knobs on the purse wall. It also gave me the perfect excuse to spend a ridiculous amount of money on knobs at Anthropologie- something I've always wanted to do!
Rings! Everywhere rings. I love the tiered jewelry stand and the little saucers on candle holders. Love, love, love.
Button badges below my new yellow mirror- love it! You can also see my new signage here. Green paper with white pencil- very, very lovely.
My new button display turned out great! I found the most fantastic coral pink rope, which adds a fun accent behind the buttons. At first I thought it might be too monsterously huge, but in fact it is the perfect size for one of my favorite and best selling products. Next time around I'll add more rope so that I can hang even more buttons!
We drove home late last night, and although I'm a bit tired, I'm also a bit wired because I just had the most amazing weekend. Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by my booth. I can't wait to come back to Seattle and say hello once again!

What Does it Take to Succeed?
May 21st, 2013
Marketing in the future will be far different than we know it today. The whole scene is already changing at a rapid rate. Until now, successful marketing was all about how much money you had to create the biggest, most impressive fireworks, drawing attention to your product, more attention than anyone else. Then came the Internet, thousands of television channels, unlimited radio stations, infinite numbers of websites, and multiple media platforms. Now, marketing is completely different. Now, it is all about what the customer is looking for. The customer wants something, and they go hunting for it. Advertising has less impact, less value. What is more important is word of mouth, and search results on Google or Bing and how badly the customer wants to find your products and once they get there, how well you present yourself as a responsible vender and a creative product developer. Everyone can sell anything with almost the same resources at their disposal. You've heard people say this, and it really is true: the internet is leveling the playing field.

Real-Time Hadoop
Michael Segel
We will start with a short introduction to different approaches to using Hadoop in the real-time environment, including real-time queries, streaming, and real-time data processing and delivery. Then we'll describe the most common use cases for real-time queries and products implementing these capabilities. We will also describe the role of streaming, common use cases, and products in the space.
The majority of time will be dedicated to the usage of HBase as a foundation for the real-time data process. We describe several architectures for such implementation, and a high-level design and implementation for two examples: system for storing and retrieving images, and using HBase as a back end for Lucene.

NSF-funded researchers have developed a robot capable of scaling vertical walls. The new robot, whose foot pads are covered with the same type of adhesive found on the feet of geckos, was named "stickybot" by its inventors, Mark Cutkosky of Stanford University and Kellar Autumn of Lewis and Clark College.
"The challenge was simply to get robots to go where robots have never been able to go before, like up walls of buildings," Cutkosky explains. "If robots can climb vertical surfaces, then they can do inspection of buildings and bridges and other hard-to-reach places."
The inspiration for stickybot was the Tokay gecko, one of the world's largest and heaviest geckos. Tiny structures on the pads of the gecko's feet allow it to climb walls by nestling these tiny structures close to small irregularities on the wall surface. The gecko's foot pad is only sticky in one direction, and the researchers discovered a way to mimic this by layering polymers in a way that the resulting hierarchical structures show directional adhesion.
The nanoscale structures on the gecko's foot pad interact with molecules in the wall through a type of intermolecular force called the van der Waals force. The force is powerful enough that the gecko can support its entire body weight with one toe. Cutkosky and Autumn are working to improve their initial design by, first, developing a way for the stickybot to rotate its "foot" at the "ankle," and, second, designing methods to increase the level of sensing and control available to the robot.

New research, partially funded by NSF, is turning the science-fiction scenario of controlling machines with our minds into a reality. Recent results from a joint project between the Mayo Clinic and the University of North Florida show that it is possible to "type" letters on a computer screen with nothing more than a thought and a brain-computer interface (BCI).
The research subjects are epilepsy patients who are monitored for seizures through BCI electrodes placed directly on the surface of their brains. The patients are asked to focus on a screen containing a 6-by-6 matrix of alphanumeric characters. When the subject looks at the letter "q," signals from the patient's brain direct a computer to type that letter on another screen.
The development of mind-control devices has largely evolved from studies aimed at improving epilepsy treatments. In an NSF-funded project at the University of Minnesota, electrical signals from electrodes placed on the outside of the patient's head are combined with information from non-invasive functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans of the brain to more accurately pinpoint the source of seizures. Bin He, lead investigator of the Minnesota project, has shown that this combination of brain signals can, like the Mayo Clinic/Florida project, be used to control computers, but without the need for surgery to place electrodes on the brain surface. Watch a video and read more about He's work here.
You may not realize it, but the cells in your body act like billions of tiny computers, each using a complex system of genes, proteins, enzymes and other tools working together like a piece of software to receive, process and send information. When something goes haywire in those cells' processing systems, serious illnesses can result, including cancer.
For John Tyson, a professor of biology at Virginia Tech, thinking about cells as information-processing systems makes a lot of sense. "Cells receive information in the form of chemical signals, physical attachments to other cells, or radiation damage, for instance," Tyson says. "On the basis of this information, the cells must make the correct response, such as to grow and divide, or to stop growing and repair damage, or to commit suicide."
Tyson has worked, with NSF support, to develop mathematical models of the myriad ways cells process information. Once these models are successfully created, computers are able to use them to simulate cell behavior and provide important insights into how cells work and what is happening when they don't work properly.
"If the math model behaves in the computer the way cells behave in the lab, we gain confidence that we understand the molecular interactions correctly. If not, we can be sure that our models are missing something important," Tyson says. This approach may someday make fixing our bodies as straightforward as reprogramming a computer.

NSF-funded researchers recently reported the discovery of a water-covered planet approximately twice the radius of the Earth and six-and-a-half times its mass, orbiting a nearby red dwarf star, about 40 light years from Earth. The discovery was made during the first year of operation of the NSF-funded MEarth Observatory, an array of eight 16-inch-diameter telescopes atop Mt. Hopkins in Arizona.
"The discovery is exciting for several reasons," explains David Charbonneau, head of the MEarth project and Harvard professor of astronomy. "First, the planet mass and radius are consistent with a water-dominated composition with only a thin atmosphere, whereas previously discovered worlds have been hydrogen-dominated giants much more akin to the gas and ice giants of the solar system. Second, because the star is so small and nearby, we should be able to study the planetary atmosphere with current observatories."
The MEarth discovery is one of dozens of recent exoplanet discoveries, but it's the first to show clear evidence of the presence of water. The next step, direct confirmation that water is present, will require the use of a space-based instrument, such as NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. "Since this planet is so close to Earth," Charbonneau says, "Hubble should be able to detect the atmosphere and determine what it's made of." Read more about this exciting discovery here.
On February 1, 2010, NSF submitted its fiscal year 2011 budget request to Congress. The proposed $7.4 billion budget represents an 8 percent increase over 2010 and aligns with the administration's National Innovation Strategy.
NSF Director Arden L. Bement, Jr., highlighted three NSF programs in the request that address the administration's goals of educating the next generation of Americans: (1) the Advanced Technological Education program, aimed at community colleges; (2) Graduate Research Fellowships and the Faculty Career Development program, both aimed at new investigators; and (3) a program on climate change education, aimed at all levels of learners.
NSF Director Arden L. Bement, Jr., recently announced his acceptance of a position as director of Purdue University's new Global Policy Research Institute (GPRI) in West Lafayette, Ind. Bement will leave his current position as director of NSF and take on his new duties at GPRI on June 1, 2010.
Bement was named director of NSF by President George W. Bush in November 2004, arriving at NSF from his previous position as director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a position he had held since 2001.
During his tenure as NSF director, Bement oversaw the foundation's more than $7 billion budget and led the agency onto a path that is expected to double its budget over 10 years. His achievements at NSF include: the establishment of the Office of Cyberinfrastructure; increased investments in high-end computational facilities and a more robust grid network; improvements in the management of major facilities; and the development of grant mechanisms and management practices for funding transformative research. He was also key in increasing NSF's role in international science policy.
Prior to joining NIST, Bement was the David A. Ross Distinguished Professor of Nuclear Engineering and head of the School of Nuclear Engineering at Purdue University. He also held faculty appointments in materials engineering, electrical and computer engineering and the Krannert School of Management. In addition to his positions at Purdue, Bement was the director of the Midwest Superconductivity Consortium and the Consortium for Intelligent Management of the Electrical Power Grid.
Before joining the faculty at Purdue, Bement held a variety of posts in industry, government and academia, including positions at TRW, Inc., DARPA, Batelle Northwest Laboratories, and General Electric Co., among many others. He is the recipient of many awards and served in numerous government advisory roles. He is also a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a recipient of the Distinguished Service Medal of the Department of Defense. In 2009, the Emperor of Japan awarded him the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star, for his contributions to international understanding through science and technology.
"With the submission of his 2011 budget, President Obama has underscored again the critical role that the National Science Foundation plays in ensuring our nation's continuing preeminence in science and technology," said John P. Holdren, assistant to the president for science and technology and director, Office of Science and Technology Policy. "I want to thank Dr. Bement for his nearly seven years of distinguished service at NSF's helm and his unwavering commitment to America's research and education enterprise."
Getting the Science Right (CNN, The Los Angeles Times) Academy-Award winning director and producer Ron Howard says the science in movies and TV shows should ring true. A new initiative, the Creative Science Studio, a partnership between NSF and the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, will help with this.
Scientists Scour Haiti for Earthquake Clues (The Washington Post) The Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti reordered the local geology, according to a team of NSF-funded scientists probing the causes of the 7.0-magnitude quake. The team is aiming to improve prediction of future quakes through its study.
Scientists Move Toward At-home Cancer Detection Kit (FOXNews) A highly sensitive acoustic-resonance sensor, smaller than a human hair, is under development by NSF-funded scientists, raising hopes that a home-based kit to test body fluids for cancer might someday become a reality.
Developing a New Type of Hybrid Car (Irish Times) Research funded by NSF has led to the development of a new type of hybrid electric vehicle that generates part of its power from wind or solar sources and can be plugged into the grid to sell excess power back to the utility company.
On Feb. 18, 2010, NSF and the journal Science, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), announced the winners of the seventh annual International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge. The winners, published in the Feb. 19 issue of Science, were chosen from among entries in a variety of categories including photography, illustration, and even interactive games. The award-winning images can be viewed on NSF's Web site here.
At right is the winning entry in the photography category of the 2009 Challenge. Tiny plastic fingers, each with a diameter of 1/500th of a human hair, grasp a plastic sphere. The image, which brings to mind global efforts to promote sustainability, was created with a scanning electron microscope and digitally enhanced for color.
Scientists from the United States, Europe and China have established a network of field research stations to study how soils benefit humanity. The research will focus on processes in the critical zone, the region between the top of a forest canopy and the rock beneath soil. This new international collaboration will determine how to protect soil from threats due to climate change and the heightened food and energy demands of an increasing human population.
Funding from the European Commission includes support for European and Chinese teams to link with researchers funded by NSF's Critical Zone Observatory (CZO) program. Three new CZOs have recently been established with funds from NSF through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, bringing the number of NSF-funded CZO sites to six. The new sites are in the Christina River Basin in Delaware and Pennsylvania, the Luquillo National Forest in Puerto Rico and the Jemez River Basin in New Mexico and Arizona.
This new international partnership promises to shed new light on how these important critical zone processes are affected by climate, the water cycle and land use changes.
On Feb. 4, 2010, Microsoft Corp. and NSF announced a new agreement to provide cloud computing resources through Microsoft's Windows Azure to researchers chosen through the NSF merit-review process. By extending the capabilities of easy-to-use applications via Microsoft cloud services such as Azure, the partnership aims to broaden the nation's research capabilities, foster collaborative research communities and accelerate scientific discovery.
"SciGirls," a new weekly PBS series partially funded by NSF and aimed at kids ages eight to 12, premiered in February and features real middle-school girls engaging in scientific investigations. Read more about this project here.

When the Rev. Jonathan Sawicki's alarm clock sounded at 6:30 a.m. Monday, he was greeted with the news that Pope Benedict XVI would resign Feb. 28.
"Needless to say, there was no rolling over to hit the snooze button, nor a need for coffee," said Sawicki, pastor at St. Mary's Church of the Immaculate Conception in York.
Like many, Sawicki said he was initially "shocked" by the news.
"But ... Pope Benedict has offered his thoughts in the past that if a pope cannot fulfill the duties of office, he indeed has a right to resign," he said. "I am reinforced that our Holy Father is a man of integrity and has followed his own standards."
Robert Farrell of Loganville, a biology professor at Penn State York, said he was impressed by the pope's decision.
"What this says to me is the pope is the epitome of humility," Farrell said. "He's stepping down because he thinks he's unable to fulfill the duties of his office. If that's not humility, I don't know what is."
In 2008, Farrell took his family to Washington, D.C. to see Benedict parade in the popemobile at Catholic University. He called Benedict "an excellent pope."
"I think he clearly had a different agenda than John Paul II did," Farrell said. "John Paul was very comfortable being out among the people. ... Pope Benedict preferred to stay closer to home and to strengthen the church from within the Vatican."
In a statement, Bishop Joseph McFadden of the Diocese of Harrisburg hailed Pope Benedict for drawing Catholics around the world into a deeper relationship with Christ. Catholics are in the middle of a Year of Faith initiative pushed by the pope.
"His humble decision invites every Catholic to have the same faith that Christ will continue to watch over us by sending a new faithful and holy shepherd to guide the church," McFadden said.
Calling the pontiff "a master teacher and a humble leader," Sawicki said he is "excited" for the future of the church. He predicted a quick process that leads to a new pope being elected within a month.
Deacon Michael DeVivo of St. Patrick Church in York said the likelihood of an American pope is a long shot, but not out of the question. He named New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan as an obvious candidate.
"Because he's gregarious and outgoing," DeVivo said. "I always say if it's the person you think it's going to be, then it's probably not the Holy Spirit."

Pope facts
Pope Benedict XVI is the 265th man to serve as head of the Catholic Church since St. Peter, an apostle of Jesus, was made pope in year 33.
Here are a few facts on the history of the papacy:
--- Pope Benedict is the first pope to resign since Pope Gregory XII, who resigned in 1415 so the Western Schism could be ended.
--- Pope Benedict is the first German pontiff since Pope Adrian VI, who served in 1522-23.
--- Pope Pius IX (1846-78) was the longest-serving pope in history at nearly 32 years. Pope John Paul II (1978-2005) is the second longest.
--- Thirty-four popes have been members of religious orders, led by 17 Benedictines.
--- Pope-elect Stephen, who died March 25, 752, three days after his election but before he was consecrated, has not been on the Vatican's official list of popes since 1961, but appears on lists dating from before 1960.
--- Fourteen popes attainted martyrdom by dying or being killed defending the faith, while six popes are known to have been murdered. The last pope murdered was Pope Gregory V, who was poisoned in 999.

With one and a half million (1.5 million) American children now homeless, reporter Hilary Andersson meets the school pupils who go hungry in the richest country on Earth. From those living in the storm drains under Las Vegas to the tent cities now springing up around the United States, P a n o r a m a finds out how the poor are surviving in America and asks whatever happened to the supposed 'government' and the Real People in charge – those who you 'don't see' pulling on the strings; and their vision and welfare for the country.
Could this be a form of 'Social cleansing' without the need of war or disease inflicted by the orchestrators – simply a controlled bout of poverty? Or is this the forced education that only condition children to know only a certain amount of knowledge that can only ever see them progress in working environments such as confined offices within the 'Human Zoo' qualities within the desperately overcrowded cities.
Why are our children not educated properly – to be able to survive communally with real craft and building skills? Is the social mobility (as in other 'rich countries' such as the UK) only fairing the rich; the wealthy and the 'clever elite'; the white collar criminal, as per usual?

The Sound Strike is back on the attack with another press release drawing attention to the growing list of artists signing on to boycott Arizona in response to the passage of SB 1070.
"The legalization of racial profiling within Arizona has drawn fierce opposition from people all over the world," it reads. "Over 20 cities throughout the U.S., along with universities, professional associations, and civil rights organizations have all approved boycotts as part of an international strategy to defeat this unjust law. It is in the spirit of these popular actions that the Sound Strike is proud to announce the newest list of artists who are taking action to defend civil and human rights."
Those names include Nine Inch Nails, comedian Chris Rock, Maroon 5, My Morning Jacket, Ben Harper, Ry Cooder, Pitbull, Steve Earle, Billy Bragg, Anti-Flag and Throwing Muses.
The initial list, released in May, included Conor Oberst, Kanye West, Rage Against the Machine, Rise Against, Cypress Hill, Serj Tankian, Joe Satriani, Sonic Youth, Tenacious D, Street Sweeper Social Club and Michael Moore.
The release goes on to say, "For musicians and artists, the choice to boycott is not a simple one. But the reality has become clear that to perform in Arizona, with this divisive and unjust law on the books, is no longer a neutral act. It is Governor Jan Brewer and the Arizona state legislature that has created the climate under which the normal commercial interaction between fans and artists can be converted into the means to apply racist legislation like SB 1070. For artists of The Sound Strike, the boycott is the most effective form of non-compliance with a law that threatens the civil and human rights of everyday people living within the state, including the fans of our music, whom we cherish and respect."
SB 1070 states that an officer engaged in a lawful stop, detention or arrest shall, when practicable, ask about a person's legal status when reasonable suspicion exists that the person is in the U.S. illegally.
The Sound Strike also released three public service announcements Monday - one by Zack de la Rocha, one by Oberst and one by Ozomatli. And de la Rocha told Billboard they're putting a series of protest concerts together.
"In the coming weeks," he said, "we are going to be organizing a series of concerts that are respectful of the nature of the boycott in its attempts to isolate the Arizona government but not isolate the people, and especially the organizations that are fighting this on the ground. Many of us have begun to plan concerts that include bands that have signed on the Sound Strike, and make tickets available so that people within Arizona can come and see these concerts as they roll out. These are things that are being set into motion right now - a series of concerts or maybe even one giant concert in late July."
He also said there was a strong chance that his own group, Rage Against the Machine, would take part in one of more of those concerts.
The Billboard story also quoted from an open letter by Charlie Levy of Stateside Presents, which was published in The Arizona Republic.
"By not performing in Arizona," Levy argued, "artists are harming the very people and places that foster free speech and the open exchange of ideas that serve to counter the closed-mindedness recently displayed by the new law."
Public Enemy's Chuck D and Cooder have recorded songs inspired by the law, while Los Lobos, Hall and Oates, Conjunto Primavera, Cypress Hill and Pitbull are among the artists that have canceled Arizona shows in protest.
Artists speaking out against the law include Belinda Carlisle, Shakira, Willie Nelson, Carlos Santana and Jenny Lewis.

If there's one Clash song that encapsulates the band's true manifesto, it has to be "Clampdown" from London Calling (1979). This is a great live version from April 1980 … which can't possibly be true because that was THIRTY-THREE FUCKING YEARS AGO AND I WAS A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL THEN.
Oh, good lord.
But anyway, Joe Strummer once described the Clash as "antifascist, antiviolence, antiracist," and "Clampdown" is the musical expression of that general philosophy, graphically demonstrating that bigotry and violence are the tools of oppression:
They said: "Is this man a Jew?"
('Cos We're working for the clampdown)
They put up a poster saying "We earn more than you"
(We're working for the clampdown)
We will teach our twisted speech
To the young believers
We will train our blue-eyed men
To be young believers
But you grow up and you calm down and
(Working for the clampdown)
You start wearing blue and brown and
(Working for the clampdown)
So you got someone to boss around
Make you feel big now
You drift until you brutalize
Make your first kill now …
While the objects of popular bigotry may change, this remains a time-tested method of the rich and powerful: To gin up or exacerbate existing prejudices, both to distract attention away from their grift and to keep the poor and the powerless at each other's throats. As the song suggests, it used to be the Jews. Then it was the Catholics; then one immigrant group or another. And, of course, it's always been people of color. But even as it becomes harder to be overtly anti-Semitic or racist (not that there isn't plenty of that to go around; the cowards just won't admit it), there's always somebody to hate. As long as you can come up with a phony moralistic reason for hating the other, people will go for it.
I mention that because this week we've seen the latest iteration of that sorry truth as gay and lesbian Americans had to fight all the way to the Supreme Court in an effort to secure what the Court itself once described as "one of the 'basic civil rights of man,' fundamental to our very existence and survival." Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1, 12 (1967), quoting Skinner v. Oklahoma, 316 U.S. 535, 541 (1942). Even so, as Mother Jones' Adam Serwer explained, one of the rich and powerful Justices who will decide whether gay and lesbian Americans will get to enjoy that right can barely contain his contempt for them:
In his dissent in the 1996 case Romer v. Evans, which challenged Colorado's ban on any local jurisdictions outlawing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, Scalia brought out an analogy that he's used to attack liberals and supporters of LGBT rights for years since. "Of course it is our moral heritage that one should not hate any human being or class of human beings," Scalia wrote, in the classic prebuttal phrasing of someone about to say something ludicrous. "But I had thought that one could consider certain conduct reprehensible—murder, for example, or polygamy, or cruelty to animals—and could exhibit even 'animus' toward such conduct. Surely that is the only sort of 'animus' at issue here: moral disapproval of homosexual conduct[.]"
Ah, yes. There's always a reason to make a scapegoat out of somebody, isn't there?
By the way, according to The Clash Wiki, "Another working title for this song was 'For Fuck's Sake' '' … which is kind of perfect when you really think about it. So, here's another great live version of "Clampdown":
The Clash - Clampdown by Inedire
The lads could play an angry riff, man.
Anyway, you know what to do …
Turn. It. Up.
