text: Breaking the Taboo wants to turn Youtube views into political change Culture 07 December 12 by Ian Steadman Sundog Films Director Fernando Andrade is explaining how close he and his film crew came to being killed while filming anti-drug prohibition documentary Breaking the Taboo. "We wanted to film the traditional use by Indians of the coca leaf, so we went to Colombia, to a region which everyone said was very safe. We met a tribe of Indians who showed us the traditional uses, and so on, but the next day they took us to a site where the Farc produce poppies. Which was a big surprise to me, because I had thought they were only in Afghanistan."According to Breaking the Taboo, the international war on drugs is a failure, and the existence of those poppy fields a continent away from their usual home is proof. If there's money in a drug, that drug will be produced regardless of law enforcement action. But where there are drugs in Colombia, there are the cartels, and violence. Andrade continued: "When we got back, someone said to us that a battle started there between the Farc and the government exactly where we were, and that that tribe no longer existed. People died. We escaped within a matter of hours. It was a very isolated place. They don't even sell Coca-Cola there." Breaking the Taboo is straightforwardly honest about its message from the start -- the war on drugs is futile and misguided, and it makes people's lives miserable. It makes its points clearly: the drug war has devastated South American countries; it has devastated poor communities in the US; it's given rise to a huge prison-industrial complex in the US; countries that have approached drugs as a health problem and not a criminal one, like Portugal, the Czech Republic or the Netherlands, have fewer problems with organised crime and addiction. It's even narrated by Morgan Freeman, giving it that warm tone of reliability (Gael García Bernal narrates the Spanish-language version).They're not new points, but then the whole point of Breaking the Taboo is that it's for people who may not have heard these counterarguments made so succinctly and matter-of-factly -- that's what the title of the film is referring to, the proposition that speaking about drugs as anything other than a problem that needs to be wiped out with force is a taboo topic among much of mainstream society. It heavily features the 2011 Global Commission on Drug Policy, the organisation which released a report declaring that the war on drugs had "failed", something made more notable by the number of former high-ranking public officials it included in its ranks -- including three former presidents and one former prime minister.Wired.co.uk went to the premiere of the film on 5 December, and spoke to Johnny Webb, the MD of Breaking the Taboo's distributor, Sundog Pictures. The film isn't getting a normal theatrical release -- instead, it's being premiered on Youtube from 7 December, with the hope that the film's non-establishment message will have more impact by being distributed in a more unconventional way.Webb explained: "If you look at the feature films market and talk to any producer, it's bloody hard because there are no shortage of fantastic films, but it's getting harder and harder to get significant distribution, and get the message that these passionate filmmakers have out to audiences. There has to be another way, a way of disrupting the distribution model. And what we decided [we wanted to] do with the film is get the UN to change its prohibition policies to at least allow countries that are experimenting to do so within international law. And to do that we thought, we need to get it out to as many people as quickly as we can."In the build up to the film's release a Youtube channel has been hosting clips of public figures and celebrities -- including Dizzee Rascal, Bob Geldof, Kate Winslet and Sam Branson (son of Richard and the film's producer) -- endorsing the film's message. Webb claims that the channel already had combined views of over 400,000 before the premiere, giving a base of interest to work from, and the clips had been picked up on Twitter thanks to the #breakingthetaboo hashtag, and the endorsement of tweets from people like Mo Farah.As a distribution model for smaller film companies, Webb -- who previously worked as head of Virgin Media TV -- thinks that this kind of release model is perfect for smaller documentaries. He said: "[At] Virgin TV, we gave away the first and second episodes of big US dramas as a way of getting people to use the internet to talk about the series. At the time Hollywood studios were very nervous, but every single time we did it not only did people come back to TV to watch those episodes that we'd given away, but we'd got bigger audiences into the series. I'm utterly convinced that the internet provides talkability and gets the oxygen of publicity."The final cut of the film -- 52 minutes -- was also influenced by the average "commercial hour" of TV that people might watch on a service like iPlayer or Hulu. It's entirely tailored towards the general attitudes of people who watch traditional television series on the web.He continued: "The other thing that's really important for me is that you often watch a documentary and you feel moved to do something but you know you're two or three steps away. Whatever you're doing, you're one click away from doing something. Closing that gap between thought and action is a really interesting experiment, and what happens when you use the power of film is you've got it on this amazing viral, shareable platform, which we haven't really used before."That platform is also of importance to Andrade, who is currently working towards crowdsourcing funding for a series of 120 short films (of one to three minutes in length each) that discuss topics that Breaking the Taboo can't go into, like medical marijuana. They'd be hosted on a dedicated Youtube channel as well.At the premiere, a panel discussion on the topics raised by the film -- featuring Richard Branson, the Transform Drug Policy Foundation founder Danny Kushlick, Beckley Foundation founder Amanda Feilding, Green Party MP Caroline Lucas and former Cambridgeshire police chief Tom Lloyd -- pretty much just reiterated the points of the film, but one unexpected moment came from a short speech by the Colombian ambassador to the UK, José Mauricio Rodríguez Múnera, in which he praised the film and urged people to keep pushing for reform.So can they actually change things with their film? Webb thinks so, in the wake of the legalisation of marijuana in Washington and Colorado last month. "With prohibition, it only took five states for the whole thing to collapse from within. My hope is that we get enough traction on the petition to get to the UN in January to say change policies and allow South America, which has had the most social harm, to act within international law, because then I think they will drive change, certainly within the western world." Edited by Liat Clark Comments Lets us all hope the change really comes, violence is out of control in Latin America. Brazilian AntiProhibitionist Dec 7th 2012 On 6th November 2012 Colorado and Washington state legalised cannabis for adults!Are we so stupid in Britain that we cannot learn the lessons of history? If we prohibit something for which there is huge demand then the price rises and violent criminals become involved.If we introduced a legally regulated system we would solve nearly all the problems around cannabis. Science proves how much safer it is than tobacco, alcohol, prescription medicines and all other recreational drugs. The evidence is that where legal regulation is introduced, consumption by children and all health and social harms are reduced.Doctors would be able to prescribe one of the most effective medicines that has no serious side effects at all. At the moment the government has given GW Pharmaceuticals an illegal monopoly on cannabis so they make millions out of a medicine that you can grow in your greenhouse for virtually nothing.CLEAR Cannabis Law Reform published independent, expert research last year that shows a tax and regulate policy on cannabis would produce a net gain to the UK economy of up to £9.3 billion pa.Our present policy on cannabis is irrational, irresponsible and dangerous. Surely, this inevitable and long overdue reform will now begin to roll out across the world?Let's break the taboo and get on with it! Peter Reynolds Dec 7th 2012 In reply to Peter Reynolds Could't have said it better myself. Prohibition only plays into the hands of the gangs and dealers, both of whom I'm pretty sure are happy with the status quo. I've just returned from Amsterdam and if there was ever a model city for drug reform, Amsterdam is it. I live in London where fights regularly break out in bars and clubs. I didn't see a single instance of violence in Amsterdam. Instead people in coffee shops were sitting around chatting and laughing. The worst thing that happened was someone coughing. LOLI believe it was Einstein who said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. The same could be said for prohibition. It's time for politicians to grow a pair and do what's right for society instead of worrying about votes. I hope this film goes viral! Matthew Nash Dec 8th 2012 I agree with the rules Associated with alcohol . Simple now it is a lossimg battle. Medical use alone is been proven as a great In pain issues..statistics where proven as a success proves , we need immediate action, with strong outlines of use and abuse consequences . I know someone who can't walk and is bedridden , has to use a wheel chair because of pain. With a medically prescribed that doesn't get you screwed you screwed up , it works. Simple that person.can life ( with pain) but not where you are not loaded and want to live not committ subdivide from constant bed restriction ang mostly be active. This person fr pain has beenOut to dinner 6 times this year . Luckily he can do se traveling with a rv to get out of the house. He has a caregiver and driver and that's a blessing. The person is me .a Bill Warmimgton Dec 7th 2012 In this day and age of new technologies, geniuses should be recognized in different fields. And you (Webb) are a genius.Joel DalaisCLEAR - Cannabis Law Reform Joel Dalais Dec 8th 2012 Legalising marijuana can lead users to harder drugs like cocaine.As those who tried the former may want to experiment with something more potent.And cocaine is very addictive and very expensive.Now, once hooked, how is the addict going to pay for his habit unless he is filthy rich.Most probably, he'll resort to theft or robbery to satisfy his craving.This will undoubtedly boost up the crime figures as more and more people get addicted due to the easy availability of hard drugs.Besides, hard drugs will cause all sorts of medical problems to the users.So, is it really that good to decriminalise drugs at all? Vong Dec 8th 2012 In reply to Vong Vong,Please watch the movie. Julian Dec 13th 2012 Vong:You do get that your entire post is false, right? The Gateway Drug argument was debunked even before the Regan administration propagated it. Real-world data, including numbers from over 10 years of decriminalisation in Portugal, indicate that hard-drug use *falls*. And if you really think that the average stoner is suddenly going to think 'Hey, I want some cocaine', then I suspect you know little about those two drugs. They provide pretty much diametrically opposite experiences; marijuana is for chilling out, calming down and long chats; cocaine is for getting amped up and hyper-focussed for about 10 minutes. Totally different user profiles.Alcohol prohibition more or less created organised crime in America (there was crime before, but unless you're talking about Morgan and Carnegie, it wasn't very organised); a major problem to this day. Drug prohibition created organised crime in a whole bunch of places, and sustains the existance of criminal organisations across the West to this day. To fund a criminal organisation you need very high profit margins, the sort that don't exist in non-criminal businesses (I leave it to the reader to figure out what that says about the financial industry). The way to get organised criminals out of the drugs market? Legalise. Reduces the profit margins, creates competitive sources, removes the risk and thus the reward for violence, etc. TL:DR, watch the movie, you'd learn something. John Q. Publican Dec 8th 2012 I have court In An Hour for a possession charge from over. Year Ago. I served 12 hrs In jail, and a ear Later (today), I Have my sentencing hearing. I Will Be put on Probation for A ear, my license is taken way for six Months, And My registration for My car is Suspended for six months. All Because It Was found In My car.

The best beauty trends of Spring 2012 fashion week
Now that Spring 2012 Fashion Week has come to a close, of course it's time for us to do a roundup of our favorite beauty trends! And while we've still got some time until we really see these trends coming at us full force–we're just heading into fall, after all–we're definitely excited about what's in store.
Red Lips
While we typically think of red lips as something for fall, we were definitely excited to see this emerging as a strong trend for spring. Designers including Anna Sui and Jason Wu showed super dark crimson pouts with their collections.
Low Ponytails
When temperatures heat up, our hair goes up. It's as simple as that. But we're loving the lower ponytail shown on the runway by multiple designers, including Derek Lam and Reed Krakoff.
Since celebs like Lauren Conrad have been experimenting with shocking hair colors, it was only a matter of time before it showed up on the runway! We're loving the bright sherbet hues seen at Narciso Rodriguez and Thakoon.
Pale Lips
On the other end of the lip spectrum were pouts that were glossy and just a shade darker than the natural color of the lip. We love the neutral lips seen at Carolina Herrera and Rodarte.
Grey Nails
The biggest nail trend of Fashion Week was actually that anything goes! But we did see a lot of pale grey nails, namely at Rag & Bone and Narciso Rodriguez. This shade goes with everything and is a statement maker without going over the top.

December 1, 2015
Charleston, W.Va. (AP) -- The West Virginia Republican Party is planning its first state summit.
State GOP Chairman Doug McKinney said Saturday's summit in Charleston will include grassroots workshops, panels featuring current and former West Virginia politicians and a presidential straw poll.
The summit is intended to show West Virginians that republicans are the right side of such issues as cap and trade and judicial reform.
McKinney says it will also help educate young people about what the GOP can do for them.
Democratic voters in West Virginia now outnumber republicans by nearly 2-to-1.

WEAVERVILLE - Three confirmed cases of MRSA infection have been found amongst players on the North Buncombe junior varsity and varsity football teams.
Black Hawks athletic director Rick High said Wednesday the first two cases were discovered during the first week of September, while the third was found on Friday. None of the three players are expected to sit out this week's JV or varsity games as a result of the MRSA and have taken the proper precautions to treat and cover their wounds, High said.
MRSA is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a staph infection that is resistant to some medications. It is common in high-contact sports like football.
High said his school took extra care to disinfect the locker room and do extra laundry when the first two cases were discovered. In addition, literature was sent to the homes of North Buncombe football players, educating them about MRSA. The school has restarted that process since the third case was found, High said.
MRSA cases were previously discovered at Roberson in 2007 and at Reynolds in 2010.
Former UNC Asheville basketball standout Kenny George lost a portion of his foot to MRSA in 2008.
Murphy's Braswell wins state award
MURPHY - Murphy junior running back/defensive back Kenton Braswell has been named the NCPreps.com 1-A state football player of the week.
Braswell ran for 215 yards and three touchdowns in Friday's 55-21 Smoky Mountain Conference win over Robbinsville.
ACC not changing football schedule
NEEDHAM, Mass. - The Atlantic Coast Conference has dropped a plan to play nine conference football games starting next season and revised its scheduling setup for basketball with the addition of Notre Dame.
The league announced in February it would have a nine-game football schedule once Pittsburgh and Syracuse joined.
But with Notre Dame now set to play five games against ACC teams every season, starting no later than 2015, conference leaders decided to stick with an eight-game schedule.
The league also planned an 18-game basketball schedule with teams having a primary partner that they played twice every season.
ACC teams will now have two primary partners - a move that commissioner John Swofford said would help "reinforce a number of conference rivalries."
Wednesday's news came after the league's fall business meetings.

Know Your Rights on Insurance Rates
AUSTIN (KXAN) – Sitting right beside his driveway underneath a long, tall carport is Roy Minshew's home away from home.
But sticker shock hit when his insurance bill arrived in the mail earlier this year. It jumped from $569 a year to $727 — a 27-percent increase.
Minshew says a customer service representative told him it is a direct result of the company's losses in the Bastrop County wildfire, which inflicted tens of millions of dollars worth of damage on nearly 2,000 homes.
"We are some of the safest clients that they have, and for them to take advantage of us like that to cover something else — there's something wrong with that," said Minshew.
The insurance company told KXAN a different story.
An out-of-state spokesperson said "we are not allowed to recoup past losses" and "rates are never based solely on one event."

If an accidental explosion killed nearly 1,400 people anywhere else in the world, it would be front-page international news. But when a munitions depot exploded earlier this month in Turkmenistan, the news barely made it past a few blogs. The repressive government claims only 15 to 20 people died. Dissidents estimate the number may be 100 times that. We talk with an expert on Turkmenistan about why he risks his safety to report on the explosion in his homeland. And on Global Activism, we speak to Jillian Swinford, who helped form an organization called EdPowerment to improve education in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania. Lastly, it's been almost forty years since two young Australians reunited with their former pet lion in the wilds of the African bush. As Alan Johnston explains, their story - and the footage of their reunion on YouTube - has moved millions of people around the world.

By now you've probably heard about Senator Elizabeth Dole's ad attacking her opponent Kay Hagen as being an Atheist despite the contrary and having taught Sunday school. But here's the bigger issue for me, "What's wrong with being an Atheist anyway?" Are we Atheists (I'm not technically an Atheist but in the category as a nontheist) somehow unAmerican? The suggestion from Dole is that being an Atheist is anti-American.

A late entry from supermaxi Chivas has pushed the entry list in the Audi Hong Kong to Vietnam Race to a record 17 boats hailing from all over the world. It has also set up one of the juiciest offshore contests for armchair enthusiasts in the 17 years since the inaugural race in 1996, with a 'Clash of the Titans' shaping up between Syd Fisher's Ragamuffin 90, line honours winner of the 2012 Rolex China Sea Race (as Genuine Risk) and Ludde Ingval's Simonis-Voogd 90, line honours winner (as Audi Ultra) of the 2011 edition of this 656nm race from Hong Kong to Nha Trang, Vietnam.
VinaCapital Vietnam Race 2011 -launched! AUDI ultra gets under way. Now racing as Chivas, and entered for this year's Vietnam Race
In other words, a 90 footer which has excelled in tricky conditions with a highly tactical finish in Subic Bay is taking on a 90 footer which has raced this route before and has proved she has the downwind speed to break the record, having finished only an hour outside Skandia's 42h 45m 41s, set in 2004.
It will be the first supermaxi head-to-head in Asian waters, set up by east coast (Ragamuffin 90) and west coast (Chivas) Australian-based boats. As Ingvall says, 'We loved the race last time. It is a great event, well-organised and run. The downwind sailing to Vietnam is exhilarating and fast. The reception in Nha Thrang is warm. What's not to like?!'
In her former life as Nicorette III, Chivas also won line honours in the 2004 Rolex Sydney to Hobart Race – quite some pedigree, however the Ragamuffin 90 team is fresh in town from west coast USA, where they claimed line honours victory in the renowned Transpac Race on Fisher's Elliott 100, Ragamuffin. Both boats boast several noteworthy crew, with extensive experience of ocean racing.
In addition to fans being able to follow the boats via the twice-hourly Yellowbrick Tracker updates, RHKYC has partnered with the virtual navigation outfit, Sailonline.org who will use the real time Yellowbrick data from the 17 boat fleet to create a virtual race where enthusiasts worldwide can set up their own boat and see how their race tactics compare. One thing is certain, it will be a lot drier - and a lot less expensive on spinnaker repairs - to race to Vietnam from the living rooms!
Yellowbrick Tracking of the Audi Hong Kong to Vietnam race will be shown at www.rhkyc.org.hk/hkvyellowbrick.aspx

This went on for the better part of three days. "I was almost starting to doubt it," Baker admits.
Tired but determined, 63 women from 18 nations were on the 13th attempt last Saturday when the formation formed and, for several seconds, held. Jubilation rained onto southcentral Arizona.
Baker, whose primary sponsor was AspenAir Inside of Rohnert Park, said she and the others will train and tune and, in time, go for an even greater record.
"They're my sky sisters now," she said.
As we might imagine, she finds it difficult to describe what it's like to create a choreographed formation while hurtling through the air.
"It's almost," she said, "like dancing with God."

Solar-Powered Hydrogen Generation
Rust-based solar panels could make hydrogen cheap and efficient.
Researchers in Switzerland have demonstrated more-efficient water-splitting solar cells based on a cheap, abundant, and long-lasting material: rust. The advance could lead to a cheap and energy-efficient way to generate hydrogen for fuel-cell vehicles using solar energy.
Water-splitting solar panels would have important advantages over existing technologies in terms of hydrogen production. Right now, the primary way to make hydrogen is to separate it from natural gas, a process that generates carbon dioxide and undercuts the main motivation for moving to hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles: ending dependence on fossil fuels. The current alternative is electrolysis, which uses electricity to break water into hydrogen and oxygen, with the two gases forming at opposite electrodes. Although electrolysis is costly, it can be cleaner if the source of the electricity is wind, sun, or some other carbon-free source.
But if the source of the electricity is the sun, it would be much more efficient to use solar energy to produce hydrogen by a photochemical process inside the cell itself. By improving the efficiency of such solar panels, Michael Grätzel, chemistry professor at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, in Switzerland, and his colleagues have taken an important step toward this goal.
The researchers have shown that by including small amounts of silicon and cobalt, they can grow nanostructured thin films of iron oxide that convert sunlight into the electrons needed to form hydrogen from water. And the iron oxide films do this more efficiently than ever before with this material.
Iron oxide has long been an appealing material for such solar panels, in part because it holds up well in contact with water. But although it can absorb sunlight, the resulting charge carriers could not easily escape the material, so they recombined, canceling each other out before they could split any water. By doping the rust with silicon, the researchers coaxed the material to form cauliflower-like structures with extremely high surface area, ensuring that a large part of the atoms in the material were in contact with the water, or very close to it. That way, holes could easily escape into the water, where they prompt the generation of oxygen gas. The silicon also improves electron conductivity in the material, which is important for generating hydrogen gas at an opposite electrode. The researchers further improved the process by adding cobalt, which acts as a catalyst for the reactions.

This rendering shows the redevelopment of the former Maytag building at 1801 S. College Ave. in Midtown Fort Collins. / Courtesy of Les Kaplan
A new restaurant and pub will soon join the lineup in Midtown Fort Collins.
Building owner Les Kaplan said Friday he has a signed lease with Punchline LLC, which plans to bring a music venue/pub to the former Maytag building at 1801 S. College Ave.
Punchline registered with the Colorado Secretary of States office on June 11 and lists Jeff Leef, David Rose and Angela King, all of Fort Collins, as principals in the business. They could not be reached for comment.
The 5,800-square-foot pub will be below ground with the back opening up to a 600-square-foot patio and The Summit, a new student housing project expected to open later this summer. They have some interesting and exciting ideas for the space, Kaplan said.
The south end of the 12,500-square-foot building is leased by Subway, which plans to open Wednesday. The middle spot will be home to a cellphone company, which leaves one smaller end cap left to lease, Kaplan said.
The pub will capitalize on the near-captive audience that will soon live in its backyard and the 5-mile bus rapid transit system that will carry thousands of customers past its doors along Mason Street.
Renovations at the Maytag building and construction of The Summit are all part of Midtown revitalization that includes a planned $312 million renovation of Foothills Mall.
An overall plan for the 3-mile Midtown corridor expects to go to City Council for approval later this summer. Kaplan attributes the sudden interest to the new visible apartment construction and excitement surrounding renovation plans for the mall.
Kaplan also owns the Chuck E. Cheeses building at Prospect and College Avenue.
Renovation of the 23,000-square-foot building and its 150-car parking lot depends upon whether the kid-friendly restaurant renews its lease at the end of 2014. The adjacent former Harbor Freight space is also for lease.
Once a grocery store, the Chuck E. Cheese building has huge potential to help re-energize Midtown, Kaplan has said.

Travelers won't be able to refuel, eat or shop at the convenience store in Kansas Turnpike service area near Lawrence until July. The EZ Go Store is closing for reconstruction, shutting off a supply of food, fuel and collectibles during the next six months for a $3.7 million rebuilding project.
A McDonald's restaurant at the service area will remain open during construction. EZ Go group owner Carey Johnson said the business closed Monday for a ``raze and rebuild'' project that will triple the size of the store.
The project adds bathrooms and fixtures and raises the number of fueling stations from eight to 24. Johnson's company is financing most of the project, just as it did for a new convenience store at the turnpike's Belle Plaine Service area south of Wichita.

Flier promoting a previous speech about affirmative action hang on a community board along South State Street at the Ann Arbor campus of the University of Michigan last week. / Ryan Garza / Detroit Free Press
Steve Spreitzer
The Supreme Court has spoken: While affirmative action programs are allowable, the people of Michigan have a right to decide they do not wish to use them in our state.
As someone who works inside the diversity and inclusion world on a daily basis, the decision is troubling, but not unexpected. It does, however, give people of goodwill an opportunity to step back, recognize that we have many serious issues that must be addressed to overcome discrimination and other issues that create many of the gaps in opportunity between the white majority and people of color, and then take action.
Many of the largest businesses in our state and nation employ affirmative action programs. The Detroit three auto companies produce much fanfare around their diversity supplier programs. The reason is simple: They improve the bottom line. If they did not, they would have been squeezed out long ago.
Smart businesses realize the world is more diverse every day. To fail to include people of color in key decision making operations and give them true equal opportunity is to miss out on sales, leadership and marketing opportunities that drive profits.
In similar ways, affirmative action programs at universities have benefited Michigan as whole. They have played a role in helping people of color prepare to move into professional positions in our state often serving their communities in ways that white professionals have not. In urban communities, dental offices, medical offices, legal offices and entrepreneurial business operations are staffed by men and women of color who benefited from attending the best universities in our state. Those opportunities gave them both knowledge and contact with peers of all races that are vital in creating a web of social structures that maximize prosperity. They grabbed hold of the chance, and made Michigan a better place. They have also given white students a chance to interact with people of color in a way that our states segregated K-12 system often does not.
Businesses use affirmative action programs for the same reasons universities did: To overcome the legacy of discrimination and lack of opportunity that plague people of color, who are disproportionally poor. Unable to affect the underlying societal problems, businesses (and universities before Proposal 2) addressed these discrepancies by taking special steps to ensure that qualified people of color were given a chance to overcome.
The real solution the one that anti-affirmative action activists said they wanted to address when Proposal 2 was passed is to ensure true equal opportunity for everyone. Advocates said during the Prop 2 campaign that, if we just ended affirmative action, these other discrepancies would go away.
They have been proved wrong. In the years since Proposal 2 has passed, the gaps between white, black and Hispanic have only widened in Michigan in many areas: infant mortality, exposure to pollution, wealth, income, education achievement, college enrollment and more.
Many of these discrepancies are the result of layer upon layer of policies over the years that have eroded true equal opportunity: federal and state laws that discriminated against people of color in home loans; Michigans opposition to busing, exacerbating our segregated school operations; policies that serve to limit the ability of students from Detroit to attend more successful and less poverty stricken schools in nearby suburbs; limits on mass transit in the state, restricting the ability of urban residents to take jobs in suburbs. The list is long and pernicious.
The point is this: We have a serious problem in our state. The gap between people of color and the majority race is wide and growing. That adds to poverty. That tends to discourage young children of color. That reduces our states ability to provide the talent needed to attract the good paying jobs of the future. That adds to social welfare costs. It reduces the quality of life for all Michiganders.
Now that we have finally decided that affirmative action is not to be used as a tool to address these problems what tools will we use? Those who have embraced the Supreme Court decision now have an obligation to come to the table with policies that will close the gaps, not simply ignore them or, even worse, make them wider. Michigans future hangs in the balance.
Steve Spreitzer is director of programs at the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion.

If you're anything like me and committed to reading more in 2014, this post is for you. I'm definitely focused on finding more evening time — maybe tuning out the reality TV once in a while! — in exchange for a gripping read. I've recently started The Invention of Wings (below) for a book club and am eager to dig into these. TAGG's last must-read books post in October was pretty popular, so I'm excited to bring you the 2014 edition (at least part 1). And, for another fun take on must reads, don't miss Buzzfeed's 16 books to read before they hit the big screen in 2014.
Update: we've also shared 9 books to read this summer! Check it out here.
hyperbole and a half // the goldfinch // the invention of wings
orphan train // the fault in our stars // the husband's secret
the girl you left behind // monuments men // margot
You might also like:
I love Hyperbole and a Half! Allie is so hilarious and real.
I just finished The Fault In Our Stars, and it was INCREDIBLE! I recommend it to anyone who loves a good laugh and cry in the same chapter. Definitely a new favorite.
I'm reading The Husbands Secret and its good, I got to the sucking in and thrilling part! I'm loving it! put it to the top of that list~ I'll be doing a review for it once I'm done with it in a few weeks probably!
This is a wonderful list! I am reading The Goldfinch when we go on vacation next week. Thanks for sharing!
I can't wait to read The Invention of Wings. I read two books of Sue Monk Kidd's about a million years ago, and I remember thinking that her writing was just beautiful. So I think I will love this new one of her's!

FILE - In a Tuesday, June 12, 2012 file photo, former President George H.W. Bush, and his wife former first lady Barbara Bush, arrive for the premiere of HBO's new documentary on his life near the family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine. Former President Bush has been hospitalized for about a week in Houston for treatment of a lingering cough. Bush's chief of staff, Jean Becker, says the 88-year-old former president is being treated for bronchitis at Houston's Methodist Hospital and is expected to be released by the weekend. He was admitted Friday, Nov. 23, 2012. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa, File)
HOUSTON - Former President George H.W. Bush has been admitted to the intensive care unit at a Houston hospital "following a series of setbacks including a persistent fever," but he is alert and talking to medical staff, his spokesman said Wednesday.
Jim McGrath, Bush's spokesman in Houston, said in a brief email that Bush was admitted to the ICU at Methodist Hospital on Sunday. He said doctors are cautiously optimistic about his treatment and that the former president "remains in guarded condition."
No other details were released about his medical condition, but McGrath said Bush is surrounded by family. Bush has been hospitalized since Nov. 23.
Earlier Wednesday, McGrath said a fever that kept Bush in the hospital over Christmas had gotten worse and that doctors had put him on a liquids-only diet.
"It's an elevated fever, so it's actually gone up in the last day or two," McGrath told The Associated Press earlier in the day. "It's a stubborn fever that won't go away."
But he said the bronchitis-like cough that initially brought the 88-year-old to the hospital has improved.
Bush was visited on Christmas by his wife, Barbara, his son, Neil, and Neil's wife, Maria, and a grandson, McGrath said. Bush's daughter, Dorothy, was expected to arrive Wednesday in Houston from Bethesda, Md. The 41st president has also been visited twice by his sons, George W. Bush, the 43rd president, and Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida.
Bush and his wife live in Houston during the winter and spend their summers at a home in Kennebunkport, Maine.
The former president was a naval aviator in World War II - at one point the youngest in the Navy - and was shot down over the Pacific. He achieved notoriety in retirement for skydiving on at least three of his birthdays since leaving the White House in 1992.

I highly doubt it. I have never had a problem with this. This is from my personal experience. Good question though.
I don't think anyone really knows the answer to this.
Google claims to have "over two hundred" factors it's ranking algorithm. Maybe some of them have to do with link styling?
I've often wondered if links with different target attributes carry different weights. For example, does setting target="_blank" lower the amount of link juice that is passed?
But how do you test? What if the lowering is only by 5%? It gets lost in the noise.

Most people go to churches so they could reaffirm their faith and be closer to God. Unfortunately, there are some churchgoers who need to take their infant children with them when they go to church, thereby risking a disturbance to the service when the babies cry. For this reason, many churches set up nurseries so parents need not worry about their children distracting other people
There may be moments however, when your child might need you. A nursery worker might have to contact you in the middle of the church proceedings, which could disturb other people attending the service. To address this issue, some church nurseries have made use of paging systems. These wireless systems are reportedly the most effective and least obtrusive way of communicating with parents who may be in the middle of worship, a church service, or a holy mass.
If you survived corporate life in the nineties, you most likely owned a beeper or a pager; so you would be familiar with the concept of paging systems. In case you don't know what paging systems are, these are wireless communication systems that send out brief one-way messages to a particular recipient on his pager unit. Today paging technology is still being used in restaurants, hospitals, and lastly, church nurseries.
Unlike the pagers of yore, paging systems that are used in church nurseries are silent. The pager does not even have any lighted displays or alerts which might also cause a distraction. They would, instead, vibrate incessantly to let you know if you are being contacted by a nursery worker for some urgent reason. This type of system also helps maintain your composure in church without the threat of a nursery workers rushing through the congregation to ask you to come quickly because little Leslie has just wet herself.
Most church nurseries employ paging systems because they are very cost-effective. These advanced systems are reportedly very affordable and durable, using rechargeable batteries that could last up to five years. They also come equipped with built-in anti-theft devices. Furthermore, these systems operate in the UHF (ultra high frequency) range of the electromagnetic spectrum to ensure better signals so parents can be immediately notified no matter where they may be on the church grounds.
paging systems are used in church nurseries to give parents peace of mind, knowing that they could be contacted immediately by nursery workers in case of an emergency. No longer will parents have to be embarrassed by their child screaming bloody murder – the collective chagrin of the entire congregation.

|Mechanisms of nanoparticle formation by ultra-short laser ablation of metals in liquid environment.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23319115 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Laser ablation in liquids is now commonly used to produce colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) that have found numerous applications in different areas. In experiments, NPs of different materials can be rather easily obtained by using laser systems with various pulse durations, shapes, wavelengths, and fluences. In this paper, we focus our attention on metal (gold) NPs produced by ultra-short laser pulses. To better understand the mechanisms of the NPs formation, we perform modeling of femtosecond laser interactions with a gold target in the presence of liquid (water). Simulation of the ablation process over several nanoseconds shows that most of the primary NPs originate from the ablated metastable liquid layer, whereas only a minority is formed by condensation inside the cavitation bubble. These particles will further grow/evaporate, and coagulate during a much longer collision stage in the liquid colloid.

To give credit where�s it�s due, however, I have to admit that Euro girls really know how to take a facial and give loving post-cum head.
Not that Samantha in the opening scene is a dog. She�s a very cute brunette, and she romps with Dillon in a scene that takes far too long (over 20 minutes) to reach the facial.
Nicole is not as cute, but the brunette does her best to bring some zest into a threeway with two guys (credits left something to be desired). Unfortunately, the guys are going through the motions and the sex is stale, at best, before they drop a double shot of their love into Nicole�s waiting mouth.
Viktorie is an above average blonde. She and Joe Monti work up a little more heat for their repetitious romp, but even the facial ending doesn�t quite save it.
Daria Glower, another brown-haired sweetie, has a spirited tryst with Dillon. She seems pretty excited about the encounter and is very strokable. Daria takes an open-mouth facial.
Veronica Da Souza and George Uhl have the next boring fling. This scene left me wondering in it was the middle of winter during the shooting. The sex was very cold and stale and neither partner looked to be enjoying himself. George dropped a decent facial on Veronica to end things.
Dillon is back for a third time (it�s good to be the director), this time with Natalija. Nothing special to report here either as both porners seem to be going through the motions, probably calculating the taxes they�ll be paying on their paychecks.
The DVD extras include a Photo Gallery, Trailers, Website info, and Company info. There�s also a Bonus Scene featuring an unattractive Asian and a black dude. Between them, these two have probably hit every tattoo shop in L.A. and the sex is very hard to watch.

Choosing the Right Trip
We work hard to help you choose the right trip for you, paying attention to your individual interests, abilities, and needs. If you have questions about the level of comfort or any of the activities described in this itinerary, please contact us.
We are proud to have an exceptionally high rate of repeat travelers. For more information, we would be happy to put you in touch with a client who has traveled with us.
Join us on a voyage of discovery as we explore the eight nations of the Baltic—countries that speak different languages, have a diverse culture and cuisine, worship in different churches, yet are united by a single sea. Over the centuries, wars and conflicts may have divided them, but trade has been the great unifier as the Hanseatic ports brought wealth and knowledge to the Baltic shores. We start our journey in Copenhagen, then continue north for our visit to Karlskrona, a charming town in Sweden that's famous for being the country's only Baroque city. We view more architectural delights in Gdansk, take in the restored Klaipeda, and visit Riga and Tallinn before enjoying three days in St Petersburg, surely the most endlessly fascinating of all Baltic ports. An exploration of the sea town of Helsinki caps our adventure.
Day 1
Copenhagen, Denmark
Arrive in Copenhagen and transfer to the MS Serenissima. The remainder of the day is at leisure and you may wish to explore from our central location or enjoy an after dinner drink ashore as we moor overnight.
Day 2
Copenhagen, Denmark
After breakfast we will enjoy a guided tour of the city including the Palace of Amalienborg (exterior only), the four identical Rococo buildings that have been the Royal Residence since 1784. Also see the Little Mermaid fountain, Christiansborg Castle, the Royal Theater, and Nyhavn before ending at the Tivoli Gardens. We return for lunch onboard and the afternoon is free to explore at leisure.
Day 3
Karlskrona, Sweden
Today we call at the charming town of Karlskrona on the island of Trosso. Its unique layout and the well-preserved dockyards dating from the 17th and 18th centuries have placed Karlskrona on UNESCO's prestigious World Heritage List. We have the option to explore the area on land, including the Maritime Museum and Vasa shed, from where the Vasa warship was constructed and launched in 1778. Alternatively, take a boat trip across to the Kungsholm Fortress, built in 1689 to protect the harbor. We will have time to explore the towers and also the small botanical garden with plants from throughout the world, collected during the Navy's sea training cruises and returned to Kungsholm.
Day 4
Gdansk, Poland
We have a full day in this charming city, an old Hanseatic port that has been lovingly restored. On a morning tour we will walk along the cobbled streets of the Royal Way in the old quarter and visit the Gothic St Mary's church and the 17th century Artus Court. This afternoon is free for further exploration.
Day 5
Klaipeda, Lithuania
Klaipeda is the third largest city in Lithuania and a center for amber jewelry. Founded in 1252 by the Teutonic Knights of East Prussia, the city was annexed by Hitler in 1939 and almost destroyed toward the end of World War II. Today we have a choice of tours. Explore the old town by foot before continuing to the 100-hectare Palanga Botanical Park, a beautifully preserved landscaped garden around the 19th century Neo-Renaissance style mansion containing the biggest amber museum in the Baltic. Or, head to the countryside where we experience village life and visit the Memorial Museum dedicated to Lithuanians sent to Siberia or who fought against the Soviets during the Cold War years. Return to the ship for lunch and an afternoon at sea.
Day 6
Riga, Latvia
We arrive in Riga, a beautiful Hanseatic city dating from 1201. Riga is one of the best preserved cities in the Baltic and on a morning walking tour we explore the cobbled streets. Every corner is an architectural gem, reflecting styles from all periods.
Day 7
Tallinn, Estonia
Observe Tallinn's awe-inspiring city walls and fortifications, the narrow medieval streets, and the gateways that remain remarkably well preserved. From Dome Hill, see the extraordinary vista of domes, spires, and gables, while in the main square we can find the oldest pharmacy in Europe.
Days 8-10
St. Petersburg, Russia
We have the luxury of three days to explore this most endlessly captivating of Russian cities. Join a guided city tour, excursion to the Peterhof Palace, and a tour of the fascinating Hermitage Museum. For the remainder of your time in this wonderful city you can explore independently or there will be a number of optional excursions available. Our experienced onboard staff will help you plan your time ashore to make the most of this most beautiful of all Russian cities.
Day 11
Helsinki, Finland
Because of its location on the sea, Helsinki is very much a water city, and we shall moor close to the city center for our explorations. Visit the colorful Market Square, the President's Palace, and the impressive architecture of Senate Square including the Lutheran Cathedral of Finland and Uspenski Cathedral. We will also see the Sibelius Monument and the impressive Temppeliaukio—the church in the rock. Enjoy lunch onboard and a relaxing afternoon at sea.
Day 12
Stockholm, Sweden / Depart
Disembark after breakfast and transfer to the airport for your homeward-bound flight.
Stockholm Post-Tour Extension**This extension is currently SOLD OUT, but we would be happy to add your name to the waitlist.
For those wishing to spend more time in Stockholm, you have the chance to join our two-night extension.

The remainder of your time will be free for independent exploration.

iBet: Toronado to blow away rivals in the Craven
Craven Stakes, Newmarket, 4.05pm
Back Toronado at even money for the Craven Stakes and at 8/1 each way for the 2,000 Guineas
Toronado is expected to give weight away all-round in the Craven Stakes on Thursday. On what it's said he is doing as home, the unbeaten colt is one of the best horses the Richard Hannon stable have had for many a year and is expected to win the £65,000 Craven run over the Rowley Mile today before going to the 2,000 Guineas. He is now best priced 8/1 having been steadily backed in from 16-1 around a month ago and although 6/4 favourite Dawn Approach is all the rage, Toronado may be a good deal shorter after the Craven Stakes and looks a value each way bet for the classic at the price.
Manchester United have been made 9/4 favourites to land Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao in the summer with Manchester City 6/1. There has been money for Wayne Rooney to make way – it's just 5/6 that French champions elect PSG will be his next club.
