Sunday Old School: Crash
As we approach the end of another year, it would seem that Sunday Old School's attempt to expose more metal veterans from across the world has been a success. From Aria in Russia to Moonspell in Portugal, from Channel Zero in Belgium to Mezarkabul in Turkey, we've seen some of the best the world has given the metal genre and heard some of the best music on offer. This week, we'll be continuing this trend by heading to Asia for the first and only time since 2011's column on Japan's, Loudness, to check out a contribution to thrash metal from South Korea, one which had the suitably high impact moniker of Crash.
The band was formed in 1991 by vocalist/bassist, Ahn Heung-Chan, guitar player, Yoon Doo-Byung and drummer, Jung Yong-Wook, in the country's capital city of Seoul and became one of the first groups in the nation to encourage stage diving and hardcore dancing. Their ferocious music and growing, rabid following soon caught the attention of Metal Force Records, a subsidiary of the SK Group, a giant corporation in Korea. More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: Rated X
This week The Rockstar Ramblings return with new videos from Rated X, Nasty Habit, Spiders & Snakes, and Pink Velvet Krush. Not a bad band name in the bunch! More...
Sunday Old School: Sadus
When it comes to naming some of music's best bassists, who is it you think of? Bootsy Collins of Parliament-Funkadelic? Norman Watt-Roy of The Blockheads? The unsung legends such as James Jamerson? Personally, at least when it comes to metal, I believe it's very hard to find a better bass player than Steve DiGiorgio, who first made his name with the thrash metal outfit Sadus.
Sadus was formed in Antioch, California in 1984 by DiGiorgio, vocalist Darren Travis, drummer Jon Allen and guitarist, Rob Moore, but was unable to record a demo tape until 1986, which came in the form of "D.T.P. (Death to Posers.)" Two tracks from the demo made their way to the Raging Death compilation album and with popularity steadily increasing, the group decided to self-finance a full length album, "Illusions," with Metal Church guitarist John Marshall handling production duties.
The album found enough success underground to catch the attention of several record labels, with Roadrunner eventually being the company that snapped Sadus up. By 1990, the band had released second full length record, "Swallowed in Black," which was able to break into the top fifty in Poland. Sadus expanded its profile further still by teaming up with Brazilian thrashers Sepultura and American death metal act Obituary for a tour of North America. The band followed this with the release of a third album, "A Vision of Misery," in 1992. More...
Sunday Old School: Aria
It's interesting to think that this week will see a new album from one of the biggest metal bands in the biggest country in the world, one which has a long lasting love of metal music too, yet many, many head bangers will not have heard of them. We all know that back in the days of the Soviet Union, many freedoms were restricted by the regime, but this didn't stop heavy metal music from leaking in and influencing the Russian youth to create their own bands. One such group hailed from the capital city of Moscow and was spawned when two Muscovite metalheads named Vladimir Holstinin and Alik Granovsky decided to pursue their beloved music with a new project named, Aria.
They chose the moniker so that it would be short, sweet and easily translatable, a memorable name inspired by the brand of guitar which Holstinin owned. They finished writing enough music for a full length album and began the process of looking for a singer, which they eventually found in the guise of Valery Kipelov. Before the end of 1985, the band released their debut album, "Mania Velichia," which attracted the attention of many rock fans in Russia because it was very different from anything else on show in the country at the time. It was even able to produce a music video for the song, "America is Behind," something which was not common for rock bands to do at the time. More...
Sunday Old School: Mezarkabul
This past year we've looked at some of the old guard in a lot of places across the world. From Rotting Christ in Greece, to Belphegor in Austria to Pentagram Chile in… uh, Chile. Today Sunday Old School will once again be looking at a band from a place we haven't examined yet, and another band called Pentagram to boot, though internationally they are not known by the same moniker as the Chilean and American groups, but rather by a word which in their home country of Turkey means "to accept the grave," a band known outside the former Ottoman Empire by the name of Mezarkabul. The group was formed in the city of Bursa in 1986 by drummer, Cenk Ünnü and guitarist, Hakan Utangaç, with bass player, Tarkan Gözübüyük joining their ranks the next year. Utangaç assumed the role of lead vocalist for the first few years, during which they performed live frequently, building up a fan base strong enough to get them signed to Nepa Muzik, through whom they released their self-titled debut full length.
Shortly after the record's release, the group recruited a new vocalist named, Bartu Toptas, allowing Utangaç to concentrate more on his guitar playing, a pressure which was lessened when Pentagram brought in a second guitarist, Demir Demirkan in 1992. Toptas did not stay with the group for long however and his only recording with the group can be heard as part of the intro to the song, "Secret Missile," the opening track of their sophomore album, "Trail Blazer," on which vocals were performed by a singer named, Ogün Sanlisoy. The album was notable for the song, "Fly Forever," which was written about their guitarist, Ümit Yilbar, who was killed by terrorists in 1993 whilst performing national service. More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: Party Time!
Do kids still throw parties when their parents leave for the weekend, or do they just go to the same alley each weekend and get high? My parents never left for a full weekend and I'm still bummed about it. This week videos from The Treatment, Hessler and The Beautifully Demolished take on a typical house party. More...
Pit Stories: The Invention Of The Bat Wing
Each week we check in with metal bands across the genre spectrum to get their most memorable Pit Stories from live shows.
Today Indestructible Noise Command guitarist Erik Barath shared this tale of the bat wing being invented in Long Island and a fan taking advantage of pain to try to make off with free merch:
The craziest pit story is probably the time we played at the Sundance in Long Island. It was Dennis' birthday and some dude jumped on stage with nothing but a sock on. He dove on top of the crowd, lost his sock and ended up bat winging a bunch of fans. I think he invented bat winging that night.
Another dude dove off the stage, smashed his head and passed out. Our manager took him back stage to recover and when he went back to check on the dude, he found the guy stuffing his pants with our merch. Dennis got wacked in the mouth with the mic stand, chipped his tooth. Fun night overall.
I.N.C. just released fourth album "Black Hearse Serenade" on Ferocious Records, as well as a music video for the track "No Turning Back," which was directed by Thomas Mignone (Slipknot, System of a Down, Mudvayne), and starring Michael Rodrick from the TV show "24." I.N.C. has been touring this month with Tantric. Remaining dates are as follows: More...
Sunday Old School: Exhumed
Death metal is notorious for its lyrics which focus on the brutal and at times sickening aspects of life. While many bands are wrongly accused of writing material which relies solely on this area, one band who revelled in such a subject was America's own, Exhumed. Exhumed were formed in the state of California in 1990 by then fifteen year old, Matt Harvey. They were influenced by some of the more interesting death metal bands of the time such as Carcass and Terrorizer and set out to put their own unique stamp on the branch of extreme music which they loved so much, deciding ultimately that it would be gore they focused on.
They recorded a significant number of demos, split releases and EPs in the early career before eventually signing a record deal with Relapse, a label which had become known as the home of the American branch of grindcore, much like Earache was known as in the United Kingdom. They released their first full length album, "Gore Metal" in 1998, which featured an incredibly gruesome front cover and contained a cover of the Sodom song, "Sodomy and Lust" in addition to the twelve original compositions on offer. Although somewhat sloppy by Harvey's admission, the record was received quite well by the death metal audience and they were soon hitting the road to promote the album. More...
Unearthing An Eclectic Slice Of The Underground
Although we'll cover the big names like Metallica and Motorhead, our goal at Metalunderground.com is to always to bring the lesser known local bands that deserve your attention out of obscurity and into the collective metal consciousness.
To that end we periodically unearth bands you may not have had the chance to hear before that all offer up quality material. Today we'll cover a huge range of sound and even a massive number of miles between countries with three bands from different corners of Europe who all lean towards drastically different corners of the genre spectrum.
Experimental, ambient, introspective... Postvorta soothingly beckons you through smooth and seemingly stable sonic corridors, then unexpectedly blows up the ceiling and drops tons of bludgeoning metal on your head.
The Italian sound smiths have dubbed their music "post metal." I call it "something you need to listen to immediately if you dig Neurosis or Isis."
The full "Beckoning Light We Will Set Ourselves On Fire" album was self-released earlier this year and just last month saw a physical edition through Bleeding Light Records. The whole album can be heard through the player below, and you can pick up a digital or physical copy at this location.
Sunday Old School: M.O.D.
Heavy metal contains some worldwide rock stars, from Ozzy Osbourne to Metallica. But in addition to the famous names, metal also has a large number of underground icons and cult favourites. One of these beloved people in this category is a man named Billy Milano, who's known for his large presence and sometimes hilarious lyrics, two things he brought with him when he formed Method Of Destruction in 1986. Method Of Destruction, (or M.O.D. as they are often referred to,) was started by Milano after Stormtroopers Of Death (S.O.D.,) a thrash metal supergroup for which he was the vocalist, placed themselves on hiatus.
In 1987, the band recorded and released their debut album, "U.S.A. For M.O.D.," the title of which was a play on the planned Stormtroopers of Death album, "U.S.A. For S.O.D." It was co-produced by Anthrax guitarist (and Milano's S.O.D. bandmate,) Scott Ian and continued on from where the previous group left off, spouting tongue in cheek diatribes mostly written from the point of view of their mascot, Corporal Punishment.

Sunday Old School: Black Sabbath Part 4
As so many of our readers are aware, in the United States, the month of February is Black History Month. It's also the time when we devote the Sunday Old School column to Black Metal history. What many of our readers might not know however, is that Black History Month is also held in the United Kingdom, albeit on a far less noticed scale. Since it doesn't make sense to dedicate two months of the year to one genre, Metal Underground and Sunday Old School in particular, will focus on a different history, that of arguably the first, and many would say best, heavy metal band of all time. Welcome to the final installment of Black Sabbath History Month!
The eighties had not been as kind to Black Sabbath as it had to some of their contemporaries and after a string of overlooked albums and cancelled tour dates, it seemed that unless something special happened, the band would soon be over. Fortunately for them, and indeed the fans, something spectacular did indeed happen, as following a guest appearance by Geezer Butler at a Dio concert, the bassist and singer returned to Black Sabbath, eventually also being rejoined by Vinny Appice. More...
Sunday Old School: Black Sabbath Part 3
As so many of our readers are aware, in the United States, the month of February is Black History Month. It's also the time when we devote the Sunday Old School column to Black Metal history. What many of our readers might not know however, is that Black History Month is also held in the United Kingdom, albeit on a far less noticed scale. Since it doesn't make sense to dedicate two months of the year to one genre, Metal Underground and Sunday Old School in particular, will focus on a different history, that of arguably the first, and many would say best, heavy metal band of all time. Welcome to Black Sabbath History Month!
After losing three iconic singers in Ozzy Osbourne, Ronnie James Dio and Ian Gillan, Black Sabbath were dealt yet another huge blow when Geezer Butler decided to quit, leaving guitarist Tony Iommi as the sole original remaining member. Iommi decided that he should record a solo album and leave Black Sabbath alone, though their name was soon brought back when the original lineup reunited to perform at Live Aid in the United States, however it wasn't the full time resurgence fans had hoped for, as Ozzy returned to his solo career immediately afterwards. Iommi returned to the studio and continued to work on his solo album, along with vocalist Glenn Hughes, another former member of Deep Purple. More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: Ball Breaker
Very few things make me laugh out loud – television doesn't do it for me anymore and even movie's labeled as comedies rarely split my gut. However, Steel Panther still makes it happen for me. Their videos continue to top one after another. Probably not for everyone, but you have to give it to them – apparently no one ever says "too much" when pitching video ideas. More...
Pit Stories: Protokult Shares A Trio Of Tales
Tuesday has rolled around yet again, and that means its time once more to dive into the pit!
Each week bands from across the metal spectrum (and spanning the entire globe!) check in with us to share their most memorable Pit Stories.
You may recall some weeks back that the beer loving folk metal band Protokult shared a story about an unwanted flautist taking to the stage.
This week the band has returned to share a trio of stories covering all sorts of on and off stage shenanigans, from spilled beer to a desperate attempt to get back on stage during a song and even the disappointment of meeting a band that didn't turn out to be as awesome as you thought.
Lemons Made, Beer-Drenched Gear...
A recent pit experience occurred at our own CD release gig. We were playing to a packed punk club; so although cozy, it was jam-packed, smoldering hot and aesthetically challenged. Throw in some beer wenches who joined us on stage with alcoholic refreshments and it was a party set in full swing! Mid-way through our set (I found this out afterwards), a young woman (or beer wench) got bumped in the pit and her entire pint ended up seeping into our guitarist's pedal board. His signal began cutting in and out until finally, it completely died out. When life gives you lemons folks, make lemonade! Which is what Jeremy "Vodnik" Jackson precisely did. Rather than being a party pooper and sulking off-stage, this 6'4 pot-smoking, son-of-a-bitch began dancing moronically and next thing we know, he dove head-first into the pit! Most of our audience (who conveniently happen to be women most of the time) were certainly intimidated and we lost sight of him for a few minutes, so it's safe to say Jackson landed on his head=).

Sunday Old School: Black Sabbath Part 2
As so many of our readers are aware, in the United States, the month of February is Black History Month. It's also the time when we devote the Sunday Old School column to Black Metal history. What many of our readers might not know however, is that Black History Month is also held in the United Kingdom, albeit on a far less noticed scale. Since it doesn't make sense to dedicate two months of the year to one genre, Metal Underground and Sunday Old School in particular, will focus on a different history, that of arguably the first, and many would say best, heavy metal band of all time. Welcome to Black Sabbath History Month!
Following the firing of their lead singer Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath's future was cast in to a shadow as dark as their music. That was until their manager Don Arden's daughter Sharon, now known of course as Sharon Osbourne, suggested that they bring in Rainbow's former vocalist, an American by the name of Ronnie James Dio. Dio not only brought a new voice to the fold, but also a new attitude, helping the band become more driven than they had been in years. Though Geezer Butler at one point left the group, he returned in time to record their first album with their new frontman. More...
Pit Stories: Should Have Gone To Specsavers
To coincide with the band's new album release today, U.K. doom act Alunah has checked in with us for a Pit Story that's a bit different from the norm.
We've all seen assholes in the crowd heckle a band, and sometimes even the band's front man heckling people in the crowd, but it's less often someone in the pit directly heckles security (without getting a one-way trip out of the venue that is).
Alunah drummer Jake Mason shared the tale below of a bumbling security guard at a Napalm Death show [for those in the U.S. who may not get the joke - Specsavers is an optician chain that's big in Europe and Australia].
I was recently reminded of one of the best heckles I've ever heard at a gig when Napalm Death were playing a launch show back in 2009 for the release of their "Time Waits For No Slave" album in Birmingham. As you'd expect from a Napalm gig it had been a pretty frantic start both on and off stage. So frantic in fact that the two poor security guys (who were wearing glasses) at the front of the barrier felt the need to refresh themselves, and gently threw a bottle of water to each other as Napalm tuned up for the next song... only for one of them to drop it clumsily in front of the onlooking crowd. With perfect deadpan timing and quoting the famous U.K. Specsavers TV advert a lone voice from the pit loudly stated that "you should have gone to Specsavers mate." Cue giggles from the band and crowd for the rest of the show. Somehow the gig was never quite the same after this piece of advice!
What's the best heckle you've ever heard - either from the pit or from the band? Let us know below!
Alunah's new album "Awakening The Forest" saw official release in North America today via Napalm Records. Check out a track off the album below. More...
Sunday Old School: Black Sabbath Part 1
As so many of our readers are aware, in the United States, the month of February is Black History Month. It's also the time when we devote the Sunday Old School column to Black Metal history. What many of our readers might not know however, is that Black History Month is also held in the United Kingdom, albeit on a far less noticed scale, in the month of October. Since it doesn't make sense to dedicate two months of the year to one genre, Metal Underground and Sunday Old School in particular, will focus on a different history, that of arguably the first, and many would say best, heavy metal band of all time. Welcome to Black Sabbath History Month!
The seeds of Black Sabbath, and perhaps heavy metal itself, were sewn when guitarist Tony Iommi and drummer Bill Ward teamed up with bass player Terry "Geezer" Butler and vocalist John "Ozzy" Osbourne, an old schoolmate and reported bullying victim of Iommi's. They formed the Pulka Tulk Blues Band, which also featured a slide guitarist named Jimmy Clarke and saxophonist, Alan Clarke. The sextuplet quickly shortened their moniker to Pulka Tulk, before changing their name once again to Earth. In order to remove Phillips and Clarke from the group in the most polite way possible, the founding quartet decided to disband then reunite the band as a four piece, recording new, exciting material such as "A Song for Jim," (a tribute to their manager, Jim Simpson.) After being mistaken frequently for another British band of the same name, Earth decided to once again rechristen themselves, choosing the now iconic name Black Sabbath upon Geezer's suggestion, who remarked how interesting it was that people would pay to be scared by films such as the Boris Karloff feature from which the quartet took their name.

Look-Alike Metal Album Covers Part 2
Through the history of popular music, many album covers have paid homage to the iconic War World II photograph, "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima." This still features a group of United States Navy men raising a U.S. flag atop Mount Suribachi in Iwo Jima. The original, taken by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal in 1945, won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize and even inspired the equally iconic Marine Corps War Memorial monument located at Arlington, Virginia.
Two of the most recognizable cover album homages came out in 1986, barely months apart from each other. One was the sleeve for Savatage's third full-length, "Fight for the Rock" and the other belonged to Status Quo's "In the Army Now."
Savatage Vs. Status Quo
There are many factors that indicate that the conceptual similarities between both artworks were just coincidental. Ripping off each other or the original photo wasn't the point here. First, there was a short time frame between both albums' release dates—Savatage's in June; Satus Quo's in August. Probably, by the time "Fight for the Rock" came out, the cover for "In the Army Now" was already completed and heading into production and promotion. After all, let's remember that albums take a long time to put together from writing, production, to graphic design, marketing to release.
On top of that, the origins of both arts cannot be more different: Heavy metallers, Savatage, ordered their image (featuring the members of the band raising an American flag) apparently as a direct consequence of not including band photos in their previous albums' layouts. Their label (Atlantic) was demanding a portrait so instead of just simply posing like any other band, they opted for re-recreating the famous Iwo Jima still.
In the case of rockers, Status Quo, designer Mark Wilkinson (Judas Priest, Europe) remembers that the cover concept for his hand painted image (featuring fans and a British flag) "was suggested to me by singer/guitarist Rick Parfitt,—to reflect their 'denim army', the fans who followed them."

Published on Thursday, 21 February 2013 13:12 Written by Agence France-Presse
The complaint was filed after a Communist unionist claimed to have been roughed up outside a rural Golden Dawn office near Athens on Tuesday.
Police briefly detained 15 party members but later set them free. They deny illegal entry.
Golden Dawn, formerly on the fringe of Greek politics, has seen its ratings soar since last year in a country weary of austerity and political corruption.
The party saw 18 deputies to parliament in June for the first time in its history and is currently the third most popular party in opinion polls.
The party has a military-style discipline and wastes no opportunity to attack Greece's political establishment as corrupt and obsolete.
In January, Golden Dawn said that even Greece's respected president Carolos Papoulias was part of a "noble class" of "traitors and sold-out politicians."
Its lawmakers, mostly picked for brawn over eloquence, often use street language and aggressive behaviour to intimidate opponents.
Three of them are scheduled to be tried for assault against migrant peddlers.
A fourth is also to face justice for assaulting two left-wing deputies during a talk show.
Rights groups have regularly accused Greek police of turning a blind eye to suspected Golden Dawn attacks.

The Christmas \"FUN\" Skin Pack
Here we have a skin pack of four skins based on the more secular aspect of Christmas. The pack includes: Father Jawa, Santa Rax, Santa\'s Helper, and Santa\'s Fashion Designer. As you might have

guessed these are all pretty simple recolors -- mostly red and white, although the helper is red, green, and white. This definitely would have to be a fun pack because other than as a holiday treat it doesn\'t really have a lot going for it -- simple recolors, no new sounds, and Rax\'s beard is pretty opaque. I personally would\'ve liked to see some holiday-themed sounds included, but even so running around as Santa Rax might be fun. Give it a swing for the season and see how you like it.

Hundreds of volunteers behind scenes of Folsom toy driveBy: Don Chaddock, Managing Editor
FOLSOM, CA - Katie Pearce, volunteer, with the Folsom Christmas Basket Project, said they are hard at work gathering toys for needy families this holiday season.
All around town, look for the drop boxes for new, unwrapped toys.
"The police department, fire station, city hall, Folsom Telegraph, the Folsom Chamber, Golden One Credit Union, Broadstone Racquet Ball Club, Red Robin and Folsom Lake Bowl are some of the bigger locations accepting donations," Pearce said.
The toy drive is a Folsom tradition.
"Working with Twin Lakes Food Bank, it's been 25 years. Before that, it's been 35 years," she said. "It started out with the Fire Department and Police Department handing out baskets to needy families."
This is a community-involved toy drive, she said, requiring many hands to make it happen.
"It takes well over 100 volunteers just on distribution day, probably around 250-300 from beginning to end," she said.
Pearce has seen the drive grow through the years.
"I would say it's been close to 30 years in one capacity or another that I've been involved," Pearce said. "It's changed here and there."
Families can even get a snapshot with Santa with their donation.
"From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Dec. 8, in the Walmart parking lot, if they drop off a new, unwrapped toy, they get a picture with Santa," Pearce said.
Donations are accepted until noon, Friday, Dec. 14.
"We will take financial donations as well, they just make them out to Twin Lakes Food Bank," she said.

Jim Amidon — There's a pretty nasty stereotype some people in our community attach to Wabash College students. There's a perception that Wabash guys all come from good homes, money, drive nice cars, and leave here only wanting to get rich quick.
Get to know a few Wabash men and you'll quickly realize that every one of them is unique. Perhaps the most common thread, though, is that most of them feel the need to make a difference in the world around them.
I bumped into Tim Flowers on Friday. Tim graduated with honors and gave the Wabash Commencement speech in 2006. He had won a Truman Scholarship as a junior when he was editor of the student newspaper and a political science major. He was admitted to Indiana University School of Law and probably could have attended for free.
But he took a different path, and it's a path that more and more Wabash men are taking these days.
Tim applied for the ultra competitive Teach for America program. TFA, as it is known, tries to attract the best and brightest college graduates from around the country, then places these fine scholars in some of our nation's toughest, lowest-performing schools. The program's overarching goal is overcome educational injustice in our country's poorest, most racially diverse communities.
Instead of wrapping up his law degree and planning clerkships, today Tim is a middle school math teacher in urban Memphis, Tennessee. The tall, lanky Hoosier coaches the girls' eighth grade basketball team at his school, which he says has brought out his "inner Bobby Knight."
"I'm pretty brash," he told me. "I'm pretty hard on them."
He has to be. And he has to uphold even tougher standards in class. The kids he teaches have parents, siblings, and friends who are in gangs. The only way to get through to them academically is to be tough, strict, and fair.
I'm beginning to realize that Tim is not the exception to the Wabash rule. More and more Wabash students are choosing careers in service or are delaying their careers in order to serve their communities.
Perhaps the best known is 2004 graduate Jeremy Robinson, about whom I've written before. Jeremy was another Wabash academic superstar, who chose Teach for America out of Wabash and spent two years at Chicago's inner city Harper High School. From there, he earned a prestigious Rhodes Scholarship and is now finishing his master's degree at Oxford University in England all with a career goal of improving public education back in the U.S.
Wabash has had a graduate or two go into Teach for America schools every year since 2004, and perhaps going farther back than that. Last year Wabash placed guys in Teach for America programs in South Texas and Memphis.
Flowers was back on campus Friday telling current Wabash students his Teach for America story with hopes that even more Wabash men will apply for the program. Four Wabash seniors have already been accepted into TFA, which is simply a remarkable number given how competitive the application process is. Each year about 25,000 college seniors apply for less than 2,000 positions. Flowers thinks the impact Wabash grads can have in public education is off the charts.
Teach for America says it looks for ambitious students who are good critical thinkers and who persevere in the face of challenges. Sounds like a description of a Wabash student to me.
Joining Flowers in the TFA Corps this year are Jason Simons (placed in Durham, NC), Ryan Leagre (Chicago), Chris Geggie (Indianapolis), and David Coddens (Chicago).
A.J. Lyman, one of our top graduates in 2005, joined AmeriCorps out of Wabash and spent a year directing cleanup efforts after Hurricane Katrina. This year three Wabash seniors are going into the Peace Corps.
Scott Crawford, director of the Schroeder Center for Career Development at Wabash, says the trend is here to stay. In fact, he told me Friday that he expects the number of 2008 graduates headed for Teach for America and the Peace Corps to continue to increase through the spring.
When Tim Flowers graduated from Wabash, he left here very accomplished and even a little cocky. Two years in the Teach for America program have changed him in wonderful, profound ways.
But the biggest changes have come in his seventh and eighth grade students, who have benefited from his strict classroom leadership, intellect, charm, and most of all, his commitment to them.
Like so many other Wabash graduates, Tim Flowers is indeed committed to making the world around him a little better than it was before.

A favourite haunt
A favourite haunt
Far left, An Bang beach
Perfectly positioned at the furthest end of An Bang beach's stretch of seaside eateries, The Banyan Bar deservedly pulls in the crowds with alfresco beachside dining, cosy cabanas and a traditional Vietnamese house for chilly winter evenings. Huge beanbags and loungers line the beach for guests to stretch out on, which are very welcome after sampling the unlimited San Miguel beer or excellent premium, very tropical cocktails they serve. Fresh tapas, Vietnamese (with a French twist), shellfish – including the weekend oyster specials — are quite easily the tastiest dishes you'll find locally, meaning this joint attracts tourists and expats year-round.
Banyan is one of our favourite haunts on An Bang beach because the food is consistently fabulous and staff are always at hand — decidedly dangerous when the San Miguel is flowing. It's too easy to lose a whole day (or two) here, with its stunning environment and laidback, sociable vibe.
The menu is crammed full of decent sized plates for tapas, which is just as well because everything is so delicious you'll be nicking food off everyone else's plates; even the salads are filling enough as a main course. The chorizo one is sinfully good, shellfish is served up in big soup bowls with side plates of bread to mop up every last bit, and with most dishes averaging around the $5 mark, it's still cheap enough for those on a lean budget. Fine dining options come in at around the $10 mark, which is still very competitive for Hoi An.
Banyan's got a little bit of everything. There's a pool table and petanque course to keep the kids out of trouble, quiet romantic bolt-holes and vast grassy areas where you can shove some tables together and enjoy a rowdy meal with friends. Weekend evenings are party time when Banyan throws some of the best themed events around with DJs and the occasional live band. Unlike places in town, there is never a curfew at the beach, so it's possible to tick both sunset and sunrise off your list of things to see in one sitting.
Banyan is right in the heart of what we call the French quarter on An Bang which means it has some tight competition with neighbouring restaurants Soul Kitchen, Jaspers Beach Club and Luna all managed by fussy French foodies, all more than happy to 'deliver' to whichever bar or lounger you choose to plonk yourself in. So in the unlikely event nothing on Banyan's menu hits the spot, you can always grab yourself a bowl of Italian from further along the beach, without the extreme effort of movement — what lazy beach days should be all about.

Another busy day at Wabash College and slowly but surely the snow is melting from the sunny past few days we have had. The snowball fight last night from 11:45-12:00 would have only helped speed up the process!
Last night Wabash campus was divided, not on ideological differences, but on different sides of a huge snowball fight! The battle was begun by the singing of the national anthem and the Sphinx Club hoisting the American flag for all to see. The only thing that could keep you from going out to enjoy the festivities is if you were snowed in with homework, or you were allergic to the hamburgers and hotdogs the Sphinx club made for the night's activities.
The melting snow made running outside like running through a slushy. I was with many of the distance guys who ran the five-mile "Carpet Run" through Crawfordsville. From there it was a quick shower, dinner at Sparks, and a Student Senate meeting.
The only thing that could disappoint me today was learning that I was not selected for the Resident Assistant position for next fall, although I am still free to apply for the spring of 2014. While I was disappointed not to be selected, I know there were other great candidates who can fill the position even better than I can. For now, this opens up other opportunities to pursue the Peer Mentorship Program we have at Wabash for incoming freshmen, as well as other opportunities.
Tonight I hope to catch some of the USA v. Mexico qualifying soccer match before heading to bed. It's bound to be a tough one!

Linezolid: Its Role in the Treatment of Gram-Positive, Drug-Resistant Bacterial Infections - Article
ABSTRACT: While the choices available for the management of gram-positive, drug-resistant bacterial infections are becoming limited, antimicrobial resistance is becoming increasingly problematic because of the widespread overuse of antibiotics. Linezolid is a synthetic antibiotic belonging to a new class of antimicrobials called the oxazolidinones. Linezolid disrupts bacterial growth by inhibiting the initiation process of protein synthesis—a mechanism of action that is unique to this class of drugs. It is well absorbed with high bioavailability that allows conversion to oral therapy as soon as the patient is clinically stable. It has been approved for certain gram-positive infections including certain drug-resistant enterococcus, staphylococcus, and pneumococcus strains. It is generally well tolerated, with myelosuppression being the most serious adverse effect. As a nonselective inhibitor of monoamine oxidase, caution is recommended when used with adrenergic or serotonergic agents (e.g., tyramine, dopamine, pseudoephedrine, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). Judicious use of this medication should help physicians treat patients with multidrug-resistant infections.
Newer Intranasal Migraine Medications - Article
ABSTRACT: Two new intranasal migraine medications, sumatriptan and dihydroergotamine mesylate, may offer specific advantages for patients who are seeking alternatives to various oral or parenteral migraine abortive therapies. Placebo-controlled clinical studies demonstrate that both intranasal forms are effective in relieving migraine headache pain, but published clinical trial information comparing these two intranasal medications with current abortive therapies is lacking. Both agents are generally well tolerated by patients, with the exception of mild, local adverse reactions of the nose and throat.
Diagnosis and Management of Community-Acquired Pneumonia in Adults - Article
ABSTRACT: Community-acquired pneumonia is diagnosed by clinical features (e.g., cough, fever, pleuritic chest pain) and by lung imaging, usually an infiltrate seen on chest radiography. Initial evaluation should determine the need for hospitalization versus outpatient management using validated mortality or severity prediction scores. Selected diagnostic laboratory testing, such as sputum and blood cultures, is indicated for inpatients with severe illness but is rarely useful for outpatients. Initial outpatient therapy should include a macrolide or doxycycline. For outpatients with comorbidities or who have used antibiotics within the previous three months, a respiratory fluoroquinolone (levofloxacin, gemifloxacin, or moxifloxacin), or an oral beta-lactam antibiotic plus a macrolide should be used. Inpatients not admitted to an intensive care unit should receive a respiratory fluoroquinolone, or a beta-lactam antibiotic plus a macrolide. Patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia or who are admitted to the intensive care unit should be treated with a beta-lactam antibiotic, plus azithromycin or a respiratory fluoroquinolone. Those with risk factors for Pseudomonas should be treated with a beta-lactam antibiotic (piperacillin/tazobactam, imipenem/cilastatin, meropenem, doripenem, or cefepime), plus an aminoglycoside and azithromycin or an antipseudomonal fluoroquinolone (levofloxacin or ciprofloxacin). Those with risk factors for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus should be given vancomycin or linezolid. Hospitalized patients may be switched from intravenous to oral antibiotics after they have clinical improvement and are able to tolerate oral medications, typically in the first three days. Adherence to the Infectious Diseases Society of America/American Thoracic Society guidelines for the management of community-acquired pneumonia has been shown to improve patient outcomes. Physicians should promote pneumococcal and influenza vaccination as a means to prevent community-acquired pneumonia and pneumococcal bacteremia.

Ann Baldwin and Diane Alverio are two former television reporters who were well known at the state Capitol complex even before they formed a business partnership that represented any number of interests under the Gold Dome.
But Hartford Courant reporter MaryEllen Fillo is reporting that the two former friends are now potentially headed to trial in Hartford Superior Court next month "in what has ballooned from a lucrative commercial venture between friends into a nasty, name-calling feud.''
Fillo reports the following:
"Baldwin, a former WVIT, Channel 30, reporter and now president of Baldwin Media Marketing LLC in Simsbury, is suing Alverio, former WFSB, Channel 3, reporter and now president of Alverio & Co. LLC in Hartford, on allegations including fraud and breach of contract.
"In her lawsuit, Baldwin claims that Alverio paid herself more than she was entitled to as a partner in their former company, Baldwin Alverio Media Marketing Consultants LLC. Baldwin also charges that Alverio took personal loans from a partnership line of credit that were never repaid, retained accounts after the partnership was dissolved, and "engaged in a continuing course of conduct" that deprived Baldwin of the portion of profits the company owed her, according to the suit.
"Court documents show that Alverio, in a counter-claim, accuses Baldwin of conducting business when "drunk," and being irresponsible when it came to conducting business, resulting in lost accounts, including one with Westfarms mall. Alverio also charges Baldwin with "engaging in disruptive behavior," failing to tend to business responsibilities, disparaging Alverio to company clients and engaging in irresponsible financial behavior.''

A plan to approve a tax deal for one of the largest development plans in the history of Knoxville and Knox County got another vote of support Monday.
Knox County commissioners voted unanimously to approve a tax increment financing (TIF) deal for a major redevelopment plan to transform the South Knoxville waterfront. The $165 million dollar plan would convert the former Baptist Hospital site into a large mixed use development that would include public riverwalk access.
The development firm out of Georgia asked for $22 million dollars in tax increment financing. It would keep the project off the tax rolls for two to three decades.
The Knoxville City Council approved the deal earlier this month.
Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett announced last week that he has some doubts about the TIF, and wants more specific information on how the money would be used.

"Family" Leader Reportedly Confirms Opposition to Uganda's Anti-Gay BIll
Jim Burroway
February 6th, 2010
That's according to Warren Throckmorton, who spoke with Doug Coe at the National Prayer Breakfast. Coe is the leader of the secretive Evangelical organization known as the Fellowship, or the Family.
Mr. Coe told me in the interview that he believes Jesus loves all people regardless of sexual orientation. He and other Fellowship leaders told me that imposing the death penalty and criminalization of homosexuality is contrary to the principles of love and compassion that Jesus taught and lived and upon whose life and teachings the Fellowship is based. Furthermore, the National Prayer Breakfast movement\'s mission is to build bridges of understanding between all people, religions and beliefs.
While I think Warren is a trustworthy source on this, I reserve a great deal of caution about the depth of Coe's opposition to Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill. How committed is he in his opposition? Instead of relying on intermediaries, why hasn't he made a public appearance or released a statement under his own name to that affect? Is he willing to put at risk his ties to the powerful Ugandan political establishment, including Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni himself, to press his opposition? Or will he moderate his message to something considerably milder — perhaps even with a wink — in order to preserve his ties to Uganda's powerful elite?
When one asks, "What would Jesus do?" in this Jesus-plus-nothing paradigm that is the heart of Coe's teaching, the answer should be obvious. Jesus put his entire life at risk when he overturned the moneychangers' tables in the Temple, and they weren't even thinking about killing anyone. They were just exercising the free market. But right now, it's Ugandan citizens who have everything at risk, while Coe and the Fellowship have ventured little. I would however be very thrilled to post whatever direct response Doug Coe would like to give.

May 31 @ 5:51PM
A long time ago, one man had two apples and one man had two oranges. They traded one for the other and so the first idea of
was formed.
But then later, one of the same guys had two apples but the other had twenty oranges. The apples became more valuable as they were more rare and this sparked
free trade
based on the law of supply and demand.
But then gold came on the scene and then someone insisted that you could no longer just swap apples for oranges, you had to swap apples for gold and then gold for oranges, and the people who controlled the gold took their small cut. This was the birth of
, which was considered a sin by the church for a very long time. It's obvious why: because you loose value of the goods in the process.
And later still gold became inconvenient so people went off the gold standard and governments calculated a country's net worth based on
and divided it up into the sums of dollars, yen, pounds, and so on. This kicked Usury up a notch and therefore even more was lost in translation.
came along, then people started charging each other money based on money or goods or services that didn't exist yet and even more was lost.
But now we use
, where shareholders (individuals who have no idea how any given company works) vote to see how a company should work and speculate on how much it should make in a fiscal period. If the company fails to meet up to the expectations of the shareholders then the public is held accountable and they raise prices to meet the expectations regardless of how unrealistic they were.
In other words, we once paid for something based on what it was worth. Now, we pay what some yahoo wants regardless if it's worth it or not. You tell me...this is supposed to be an improvement?

I do agree with you but in
economy, at least what you need is available usually when you need it! And if you have a business, then you charge for your services or products, likewise! That's our "free enterprise" for ya in a "free market!"
Prices like these, I can deal with- I wouldn't want to even
of paying black market prices, if it ever came to that!
May 31 @ 11:18PM
I do agree with you but in our economy, at least what you need is available usually when you need it!
And I'd agree with you save perhaps for a caveat...the problem I have with capitalist economies is that in order to maximize profits they are geared toward mass marketing. While this is good for selling large quantities of items to people, there are several problems that come out of it.
For example, a record producer does not want to sell a million records. He wants to sell a million of one kind of record. While this is great news for a no-talent bozo like Britney Spears or Madonna, it's not as good for the myriad of other high-talent performers who simply don't get coverage. Bands like The Leslie Spit Treeo or Cats Laughing get very little promo and therefore they never get to achieve their full potential.
Secondly, there is the element of proprietary control. With the standardization of the NTSC format, companies are attempting to limit from whom you can purchase data. They can't actually tell you that you can't get a movie or recording (after all, there are places to buy region 0 players) but the restrictions like this make it hard to get certain items. The new way of effectively "banning" media politely.
Thirdly, litigation can be used as a tool to ruin free choice. The Nutra Sweet company (a very large company comparatively) has sued the emerging Splenda sweetener company in the hopes of putting them out of business. The full story goes that the sugar conglomerates did the testing for saccharine before declaring it causes cancer. This is a fiction. The "cancer" was invoked in laboratory rats by feeding them the human equivalent of five gallons of soda worth of saccharine daily with no other food source. Of course they were going to get cancer. Nothing can live like that. But Nutra Sweet marketed it's product by doing it's own testing, essentially ignoring certain side effects produced by it's product (originally, their labels were not required to carry warnings for phenylkanuerics) and pushing their product on the public in just 5 years. Splenda (sucralose) was tested for over 30 years before it's release to the public. Currently, Nutra Sweet is suing the company because they are claiming that Splenda's statement that it's made from sugar is inappropriate by FDA standards (actually, it's simply a wrangling over terms...Splenda is made from sugar but it does not have sugar as an ingredient) in the hopes that an expensive law suit will cause prices to go up and shrink the market share.
Finally, brand marketing by using multinationals can essentially push smaller company names out of existence. An example being sunflower seeds. Some of the tastiest and largest sunflower seeds are grown by companies in Mongolia, but you can only get them here through very few stores. In contrast, David's Sunflower Seeds are readily available (and just happen to be a Con Agra product) even though they are not nearly as good as the Mongolian seeds as they are grown in poor quality soil in South America.
Free markets should empower people to make their choices on value-based decisions, not inhibit consumers' choices by tricking the public.
Jun 1 @ 5:30AM
It all comes down to whatever the market will bear. Cost and demand. The more you want or need it, the more it will cost you. Unfortunately this is a consumer's market and they got you by the balls.
Look at pickups or 4X4's, ahem, now called SUVs due to the demand for higher priced luxury items and "creature comforts". Since when do you need a 2 1/2 ton all terrain capable vehicle to take your poodle to the hairstylist? Yup, yup, yup the price goes up. I'd say that the term, 'Ya get what ya pay for..' is more apprappo than ever.

Sunday, January 9, 2011
Spurred by the ongoing local and national tragedies involving young people and looking for ways to join together with other local organizations, Cole County 4-H will host a first-time Kids Safety Day on Jan. 17.
"It's a good idea for kids to learn how to keep themselves safe," said Diane Temmen, Cole County 4-H assistant.
Children will be out of school on Jan. 17 to observe Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday.
"We want to spread the message of 4-H and the awesome things we do," said Jenny Flatt, 4-H Youth Specialist. "We hope non-4-H kids will join us on the 17th, too."
Registration so far is about 50 percent 4-H kids. And the registration will close at 50 students, ages 8-18.

PolyMet Mining Corp. will host an open house at the Hoyt Lakes Arena from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. this Thursday, Aug. 20. The company will share details of its plans to develop a mining operation to extract gold, copper, nickel, cobalt, platinum and palladium from deposits near Hoyt Lakes.
The project still awaits environmental permits it will need to proceed. In all, PolyMet expects to spend about $600 million on the mining operation if it receives the green light.
Building the new facility would lead to the creation of about 300 construction jobs, and when complete, the operation is expected to employ about 400 people. The total projected payroll? About $40 million annually.

Are you interested in joining the Avengers initiative? If the ratings are anything to go by, you probably are. To nobody's great surprise, ABC has picked up 'Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' for a full 22 episode first season. The action-adventure series set in the Marvel cinematic universe has proven a big draw so far, with the highly anticipated premiere garnering a superhero sized 4.7 demo. While this past Tuesday's episode three drew about half of the show's gigantic initial audience, the figures are still more than high enough to make 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' an unqualified success for ABC.
Starring Clark Gregg in his 'Avengers' role of Agent Phil Coulson, 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' shines a direct spotlight on the eponymous organization, one that had mostly been a notable background player in the Marvel film universe. The series now becomes the third heavily hyped, high-concept series to receive their "back-nine" order in the last month. The first was FOX's 'Sleepy Hollow,' followed shortly thereafter by NBC's 'The Blacklist.'
Unlike most people, I was at first quite skeptical about 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'s chances of long-term success. Sure, Marvel was white hot as a brand, but would millions of people tune in to watch a drama set in that universe that didn't include names like Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, etc.? Apparently, the answer to that question is a resounding yes, with DC and FOX already planning a TV series about the Gotham City Police Department. Next up, I want a show about the intrepid reporters of the Daily Bugle.
No surprise really though is it? but for me at least it isnt doing it for me and im not sure why i watch each week and find myself a tad bored with it even the pilot was ok pretty good not the earth shattering event that i'd hoped it would be,it may be for myself at least one to walk away from and return later in the season to see if there's anything in it for my time and i really hope that there is.

Guangzhou, China skyline 2011 (By chensiyuan (chensiyuan) [GFDL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html) or CC-BY-SA-3.0-2.5-2.0-1.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons)
Urbanization refers to a process whereby the building intensity of a high density human population increases or the number of people living in an urban area increase. Globally, this process has been on the rise for centuries; however, it has accelerated since the Industrial Revolution and was boosted again especially during the second half of the 20th century. The urbanization process was fueled mainly by migration from rural areas. The process usually comes to its end when urban population reaches a level of 80 to 90 percent of the total population of a country. Most developed countries reached this stage during the 20th century. Currently, at the beginning of the 21st century, urbanization is on the rise in most developing and less developed countries (Figure 1).
Despite the fact that the urbanization process in any country may come to a leveling off, the growth of urban population may continue due to natural growth or in=migration. The urbanization process leads to a rapid expansion of the urban built-up area. Such expansion results in massive urban sprawl and urban encroachment most often onto prime agricultural lands. Rapid urbanization process usually leads to the emergence of urban slums and other types of crime and poverty-stricken neighborhoods. It is often accompanied by unmanageable levels of environmental problems such as garbage collection and sewage treatment. Urbanization, its roots, and repercussions are studied by historians, geographers, sociologists, architects and city planners.
Current and future trends in urbanization
According to the United Nations Population Division, the world's urban population reached 2.9 billion in 2000 and is expected to rise to 5 billion by 2030. Whereas 30 percent of the world population lived in urban areas in 1950, the proportion of urban dwellers rose to 47 percent by 2000 and is projected to attain 60 percent by 2030. Virtually all the population growth expected at the world level during 2000-2030 will be concentrated in urban areas (Figure 2). During that period the urban population is expected to increase by 2.1 billion persons, nearly as much as will be added to the world population, 2.2 billion.
|Figure 2. Urban and rural population of the more and less developed regions, 1950-2030. (Source: United Nations Population Division)
|Figure 2. Urban and rural population of the more and less developed regions, 1950-2030. (Source: http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/wup2001/wup2001dh.pdf)
Almost all of the population increase expected during 2000-2030 will occur in the urban areas of the less developed regions, where population will likely rise from approximately two billion in 2000 to just under four billion in 2030. The urban population of the more developed regions is expected to increase slowly, passing from 0.9 billion in 2000 to one billion in 2030.
Rural-urban migration and the transformation of rural settlements into cities are important determinants of the high population growth expected in urban areas of the less developed regions over the next thirty years. In combination with the universal reduction of fertility levels that is expected to occur in the future, these changes will lead to the eventual reduction of the rural population of the less developed regions, where growth rates will become negative in 2025-2030 for the first time. Therefore, it is expected that the rural population of the less developed regions will reach a peak around 2025 and then begin to decline just as the rural population of the more developed regions has done since 1950.
The process of urbanization is already very advanced in the more developed regions, where 75 percent of the population lived in urban areas in 2000. Nevertheless, the concentration of population in cities is expected to increase further so that, by 2030, 83 percent of the inhabitants of the more developed countries will be urban dwellers.
Environmental effects of urbanization
Figure 1. Sao Paulo, Brazil, one of the world's largest urban regions. (Source: U.S. EPA) It is estimated that more than one billion people are exposed to outdoor air pollution annually. According to the World Health Organization, urban air pollution is linked to more than one million premature deaths and one million pre-natal deaths each year. Urban air pollution is estimated to cost approximately 2% of gross domestic product (GDP) in developed countries and 5% in developing countries. Rapid urbanization has resulted in increasing urban air pollution in major cities, especially in developing countries. Over 90% of air pollution in cities in these countries is attributed to vehicle emissions brought about by high number of older vehicles coupled with poor vehicle maintenance, inadequate infrastructure and low fuel quality. Noise pollution, chiefly from urban transportation sources, is a major environmental health issue, affecting the physical and psychological health of millions of people around the globe.
A principal adverse environmental effect of urbanization is the destruction of habitat, leading to biodiversity loss. In additon massive impacts to biodiversity and species richness are engendered by associated effects of the comcomitant habitat fragmentation.
Half the world's population lives within 60 kilometers of an ocean or sea, and three-quarters of all large cities are located on the coast. However, the seas and oceans are under increasing pressure from pollution. Much of this pollution comes from urban centers, and it creates environmental problems which threaten the viability of the cities themselves. According to the United Nations Development Program, every year sewage treatment facilities discharge 5.9 trillion gallons of sewage into coastal waters, and an estimated 160,000 factories dump between 41,000 to 57,000 tons of toxic organic chemicals and 68,000 tons of toxic metals into coastal waters.
By over-exploiting the seas as a source of food and as a location for waste disposal, coastal cities compromise the benefits offered by their location. Damage to mangroves, coral reefs and other coastal ecosystems can lead to erosion and siltation as well as render coastlines more vulnerable to storms and natural disasters. Since most of the Earth's water resources are shared by two or more countries, coordinated action locally, nationally, and internationally is equally important.

Maimeri was founded in 1923 by noted Italian impressionist painter, Gianni Maimeri, who was searching to satisfy his own desire for artistic excellence in paint. The result of his passion is a line of highly concentrated, lightfast watercolors.
Color Swatch created using heavy application/diluted application and was applied on cold press watercolor paper (150 lb) material.
carbazole dioxazine
Dioxazine Violet is transparent and has very high tinting strength. It is a staining pigment, very dark valued when it is used at full strength. Concentrated, it paints out nearly black, but it mixes with Titanium White to form bright, opaque tints of purple. PV23 produces slightly redder shades than PV37. Because the hue can vary with the conditions of preparation and grinding, it may be offered in red shade, blue shade, and so forth.
Dioxazine Violet has good lightfastness. There may be some concern about it fading or shifting in color in tints and washes. Some artists have reported that PV37, a molecular variant, is more lightfast than PV23.
Two molecular variants of Dioxazine Violet, PV23 and PV37, are available. They have similar properties, but mix slightly differently.
Dioxazine Purple, Chromothal Violet, Mauve, Carbazole Violet.

Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism
Good morning! Ladies and Gentlemen, it is an honor to have the opportunity to join you today. I was very fond of Tom Lantos and his good work. As the child of a Holocaust survivor, I always admired his vigilance and leadership on tolerance issues. Thank you for the important work you do in MEMRI and in the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice. And thank you to Speaker Boehner for sponsoring this event.
As the President's Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism, I am charged with both monitoring anti-Semitic incidents and combating such intolerance. In this role, I have been tracking anti-Semitism around the world, and have witnessed its alarming presence and growth.
Anti-Semitism is something very personal to me. My father, Rabbi Franz Rosenthal, was arrested – on Kristalnacht, the unofficial pogrom that many think started the Holocaust – and sent with many of his congregants to prison and then to Buchenwald. He was the lucky one – every other person in his family perished at Auschwitz. I have dedicated my life to eradicating anti-Semitism and intolerance with a sense of urgency and passion that only my father could give me.
No government should produce materials that are intolerant of members of any religious, racial, or ethnic group, or teach such intolerance as part of its educational curriculum. The Department of State continues to focus on this important issue and express its concern to governments that use such hateful lessons and textbooks, which call Jews the children of apes and pigs and promote the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
It is necessary to recognize the efforts of individuals, government officials, religious leaders, and organizations who speak out against such intolerance. Just as the Tom Lantos Archives encourages Muslims to speak out against anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial, I have sought to work with all members of society, regardless of religious affiliation, to promote inter-religious dialogue and tolerance. And I believe having non-Jews condemning anti-Semitism is more powerful, as it is when I, a Jew, condemn hatred of Muslims, Christians, or other vulnerable religious groups.
To combat Holocaust denial, I went with eight leading imams, two of whom had been deniers, to Dachau and Auschwitz last summer. My goal was to have them issue a statement condemning Holocaust denial.
When we arrived at Dachau, Germany's first concentration camp, the imams were overcome with the pictures they saw and immediately went to the ground in prayer at the sculpture commemorating the six million Jews exterminated. At that moment, I knew I was watching history being made. All of the passers-by, tourists, and docents stopped in their tracks to witness the spontaneous prayer of these leading imams. Auschwitz was even more overwhelming for them, and – for some it was – transformational. We were walking amidst ash and bone fragments from the 1.5 million Jews exterminated there – solely because of who they were. We were facing the fact that unfettered and unanswered hatred can indeed create an Auschwitz. All the imams had their own catharsis there, and together, they produced a statement strongly condemning Holocaust denial and all other forms of anti-Semitism.
They are now urging colleagues and schools to join their statement. Some are planning to take their youth on the same trip, to become witnesses to history, to teach the power of hatred, and the power that condemnation can have to stop hatred. This MEMRI report will serve as an effective tool for religious leaders and educators to address that hatred and condemn it. It will also be useful for me in my work as the Special Envoy.
One of my primary goals this year is to address the issue of intolerance in textbooks and in the media in the Middle East. It is critical to educate youth about the Holocaust – teaching lessons of history, teaching tolerance, combating hatred. Most national curricula in Middle East countries unfortunately do not teach about the Holocaust. Some even include verses from the Quran that they use to justify intolerance and violence against non-Muslims, primarily Jews and Christians.
On my recent trip to the Middle East, I met with a range of government officials, women's and youth groups, and interfaith and non-governmental organizations in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Lebanon. We talked about the need to combat hatred and intolerance on all levels.
In Saudi Arabia, I discussed with the Minister of Education and Minister of Culture and Information my concerns with the intolerance in Saudi textbooks – I got their commitments that they were ready to work with the United States. The Minister of Culture and Information said he hoped we could continue to work towards an educational system that is free of passages that highlight intolerance. I also spoke with Saudi religious and education scholars about education reforms and the vital need to teach history accurately. We, as a people, cannot learn the lessons of the Holocaust if the Holocaust is not taught.
In Jordan, I met with government and religious leaders. At the Royal Institute for Inter-Faith Studies, for example, they are creating curriculum and strategies to mix students of different religions and cultures. One Melkite Catholic priest has worked with our Embassy against hatred of Muslims and Jews by bringing religious leaders to the United States on an exchange program.
In Lebanon, I met with non-governmental organizations and students working on Christian-Muslim dialogue. One professor is trying to fight sectarianism among the youths of Lebanon who came of age during the Lebanese civil war when differences among religious groups caused such grave divisions in society. In my meetings, I noted that promoting and furthering tolerance is important, and the inclusion of Jewish voices is also necessary.
My trip highlighted the continuing need, recognizing the efforts already underway, to combat intolerance in education and society in the Middle East. MEMRI's Annual Report is a valuable resource for identifying Arab and Muslim anti-Semitism – I believe it will be a useful tool for raising awareness about the need to fight this type of anti-Semitism.
Tom Lantos was a strong advocate against hate. I identify with his resolve to promote acceptance, respect and tolerance, which I incorporate into my efforts as the Special Envoy. MEMRI has produced outstanding documentation that is critical to my work every day. Thank you to the Lantos Foundation and MEMRI for all of your hard work to make this world a better place for us all.

Amy Winehouse's 'terrifying' overdoseAmy Winehouse says her drugs overdose was "terrifying".
The 'Rehab' singer, who had been on a three-day binge before she was hospitalised last week, admits she was "out of control" and needs to get help.
Amy told Britain's News of the World newspaper: "It was just crazy - one of the most terrifying moments of my life. I don't know how to explain what happened. I don't really know myself. I can't remember what I looked like. I couldn't recognise myself. I was terrified.
"I was so out of control. It just happened. It shocked me. I'm sorry - I just don't know what got into me. I never want to feel that way again. I've scared myself this time. I was all over the place. I know things have got to change. I need to sort myself out."
Amy, who had to cancel an appearance with the Rolling Stones in Germany tonight (13.08.07), is determined to get back to work as soon as possible.
She said: "I'm fine. I'll be back at work soon. I have to. I'm fine, honest."
Meanwhile, Amy insists her father, not rehab, will help her beat her drugs problem.
The 23-year-old star said: "He sorts me out. When I get self-destructive I just need to spend time with my dad. Rehab is a cop-out."
The singer - who was given an emergency adrenaline shot and had her stomach pumped at London's University College Hospital - was ordered to an "emergency summit" by her worried parents, Mitch and Janis, after being released from hospital last Wednesday evening (08.08.07).
Amy's husband Blake Fielder-Civil and his parents also attended the meeting, but talks turned violent when Mitch lost his temper and grabbed Blake's father by the throat.
Mitch was left fuming when Blake's parents insisted he wasn't to blame for Amy's wild behaviour.
