There was no regular theatre entertainment that busy Friday night on the Broadwalk when we were there; however, it was like Speakers' Corner in London.

Loan Overview

Loan Updates
Maria is married and has four children. She is trying to provide them with access to a good-quality education. Because her husband's income is not enough to sustain the household, Maria started her own business some time ago: she raises hogs. Thanks to the fact that her parents always worked in agriculture, she learned this work while working with them. Since she opened her own business, her household economy and her four children's quality of life, as well as that of her husband, have improved considerably. For this reason, she works very hard every day so that her business will get them ahead and generate more income and more opportunities for her household. Because she has some orders for hogs which she will not be able to fill with her current stock, Maria is looking for a loan which will allow her to buy hogs and the concentrate to feed them.
Her greatest dream is for her business to continue moving forward and allowing her to offer her four children access to a higher-quality education and, in the future, access to a university education.

Maria se encuentra casada y tiene 4 hijos a quienes les busca brindar el acceso a una educación de buena calidad, y debido a que los ingresos que genera su esposo no son suficientes para poder sostener los gastos de su hogar, inició desde hace un tiempo su propio negocio de cría de cerdos, pues gracias a que sus padres se dedicaron siempre a las actividades del campo, ha aprendido la actividad cuando trabajaba junto a ellos. Desde que montó su negocio las condiciones económicas de su hogar, y la calidad de vida de sus 4 hijos y su esposo han mejorado considerablemente; es por esto que todos los días se sigue esforzando para que su negocio les permita salir adelante y generar mejores ingresos para tener mejores oportunidades en su hogar. Debido a que tiene unos pedidos de cerdos que no logra satisfacer con las existencias que tiene, Maria busca un préstamo que le permita comprar cerdos y el concentrado para su alimentación.
Su mayor sueño es que este negocio siga saliendo adelante y le permita brindarles a sus 4 hijos el acceso a una educación de mejor calidad y en un futuro el acceso a una educación universitaria.
Additional Information
Important Information
This loan is structured on Kiva as a bullet loan, which means a single payment is required at the end of the loan term. By Colombian law, Kiva's partner Interactuar is required to offer borrowers loans with a variable interest rate that fluctuates with the market rate. Because fixed monthly payments are applied first to interest and then to principal, Interactuar is unable to predict upfront what portion of each repayment would go towards the loan principal. This creates a challenge with Kiva's system, which doesn't allow for unpredictable principal payments, and can result in some Interactuar clients appearing falsely delinquent. To remedy this, the loan has an end-of-term repayment plan on Kiva, but the borrower will continue scheduled monthly repayments to Interactuar, who will then pass along the principal amount to Kiva lenders. This means that you may see repayments made on this loan throughout the repayment term, as opposed to receiving repayment in full at the end of the loan term.

With Kaepernick's status elevated, QB could be in for big season
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Colin Kaepernick is now a bonafide American celebrity, a condition hardly entirely enviable in which people naval-gaze about the cultural connotations of your tattoos, chronicle your every public move and deconstruct your wardrobe in idiotic fashion, say, dare you wear a Miami Dolphins hat.
When you are a Super Bowl quarterback within a half season of becoming an NFL starter, when you play the position in a dynamic manner in which few ever have and begin to grace the covers of magazines, you immediately sacrifice a normalcy you once took for granted. Kaepernick, 25, isn't seeking any of this -- he really just wants to win football games and hang with his buddies in the offseason -- but, in the post Super Bowl haze this is what life has become, and part of adapting to life the past few months has required coming to grips with his newfound fame.
"It's different," Kaepernick said. "It's something that's taken some getting used to, especially when you're just hanging out, having a good time with your friends. Going to the grocery store, going to the mall, I have to game plan what time of day to do it, when I think there will be the least amount of people there. Things like that that I've never thought about it before."
Now, when you are 6-foot-4, 230 pounds and have a fair share of tattoos and your face is hard to miss, going clandestine isn't easy. And at a time when Kaepernick has become the premier football star in the Bay Area, with his jersey immensely popular, disguise is close to impossible.
"It doesn't work too well out here," he said. "We have amazing fans in the Bay Area. They recognize a lot of our player regardless of who it is just to show their support. Outside of the Bay Area, I can get away with it a little more if I put a hat and some shades on and cover up the tattoos."
Kaepernick has received a strong assist from his agents, Scott and Shawn Smith, in juggling all of this, and has also turned to his father for advice.
"That's something my dad has really helped me with," Kaepernick said, "As far as understanding that people aren't trying to take up your time or interrupt what you're doing, they just want to show their support and to me the more I can understand the more I can respect they like what were doing and it's a good thing that they're coming up. The more you can appreciate it and understand where they're coming from, the more you are accepting to it."
Kaepernick said he put his workouts and offseason conditioning above any charity events or awards shows or anything else he dabbled with when he wasn't occupied by OTAs, and that none of that has interfered with his expectations for himself or his team. And lest anyone wonder, it is Super Bowl or bust around here.
"My expectations are to lead this team, to perform well, to perform to the best of my ability," he said. "Anything short of that isn't being successful. For me, I put a lot of hard work and preparation in to make sure I'm ready for the season and to go out and not perform well would be a huge disappointment. I've worked hard to get to where I was last season, and get the opportunity to play well. To come back and not follow that up, that's something I don't even want to think about."
And for all of the talk about NFC defenses adjusting to stop San Francisco's read-option offense, keep in mind Kaepernick can also shred defenses inside the pocket on deep drops and long passes, and this offense is perpetually evolving as well. I wouldn't bank on the 49ers being stifled all that often.
"I'm very excited," the former second-round pick said. "I think a lot of people don't really see the big picture of our offense. I think our offense realizes that, and it's to the point where we want to show people what we're capable of and prove we're not a one-trick horse."
A monster season from Kaepernick would not surprise me in the least.
• I love the hiring of former head coach and defensive coach Eric Mangini to consult for the offense on how to keep the read-option one step ahead of opposing defenses. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Mangini hasn't really interacted with his staff, focused on grasping the 40ers offense. "I did that role one year in Baltimore," Fangio said of being a defensive coach working with the offensive staff, "and they learned a lot having me in the room."
• No one around here is masking the fact this needs to be a breakout year for second year receiver AJ Jenkins, who was largely a spectator his rookie year. They aren't overly sentimental here, and if the kid can't show in camp that he can play, the reps and game time will go elsewhere.
• The 49ers continue to hold back the reigns on draft pick Marcus Lattimore, focused on 2014 for him as he recovers from shredding his knee at South Carolina last season. But he is running at three-quarters speed and has really come on lately. Everything is positive with him, and look for the 49ers to continue looking to add bodies in the backfield if need be. Frank Gore has been a workhorse and a ridiculously productive player for so long, but history tells us such backs, when they do decline, drop off precipitously. San Francisco wants to be fortified should that be the case and Kendall Hunter is very highly thought of.
• Third-year nose tackle Ian Williams is creating a stir, and expect him to push Glenn Dorsey, an offseason acquisition, there.
• Veteran receiver Anquan Boldin has only been here a few months, but the outspoken leader was told to be himself, and that he is. He isn't afraid to be vocal. "I feel comfortable speaking up," he said. If he can gain separation and get open downfield at this stage of his career will be a bigger issue. He expects to play some in the preseason to hone his timing and speed in this offense.
• Fangio spoke highly of second-year linebacker Cam Johnson as someone who could perhaps fill Ahmad Brooks' role should Brooks end up facing suspension.
• Focus on third-downs with this offense. That will be an area the coaching staff looks to as it measures the growth in 2013. The 49ers often beat teams up on first and second down a year ago, being so physical, but when they fell into third-and-long, tended to sputter, as you would expect. They ranked 23rd in the NFL on third-and-10 conversions last season and want to excel more in those situations where the odds are against them. I'm sure there will be plenty of attention paid to those special situations as camp rolls on.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Question from kickboxer101
Can you kill civilians?
First game it was like gta where you can kill anyone, second game they screwed it up and didnt allow you to kill civilians. I havent purchased the 3rd yet but just wanted a heads up, can you do it or is it like the 2nd?
5 years ago
Top Voted Answer
YES. I do often... I bribe the herald then loot his body. Does that make me a bad person (Nothing is true, everything is permitted.)
5 years ago
Yes, just like the last game you certainly can. However you will get warnings againa nd de-sync if you kill too many in a short amount of time.
5 years ago
you can kill people and every time you do it says Ezio can not harm civilians. If you keep killing the civilians, you will be desychronized
5 years ago
heh heh of course you can! But are you really an assassin if you massacre civilians?
5 years ago
Yeah you can, but don't do it too much. Don't go around and just randomly kill people when your in their way (yes, that also means the beggers and the people who sing to you!) One time I went to do an air assassination, but winded up killing a civilian sitting down lol

Dish: Pad Thai
Place: Thai Palms, Rainier Valley
Price: $6.99
On the plate: Per the menu: "Thai noodles mixed with ground peanuts, onion and bean sprouts." There's also lots of shredded carrot and purple cabbage, and my meat choice of pork.
Supporting cast/What to do: No supporting cast, and some of the main characters are quite AWOL. You might want to beg for what's missing, as described below.Noodling around: Since previous Seattle Weekly restaurant reviewer Jonathan Kauffman tempted me with his review of Thai Palms in 2009, I've had it on my to-do list, and only recently I had a chance to try.
I was excited to see boat noodles ($6.99) on the menu, as they're virtually impossible to find in Seattle. (I've had delicious boat noodles in L.A., but here I've had to settle for Vietnamese "relative" bun bo hue.) Thai Palms' menu describes the dish as "Noodles with gently steamed beef, beef ball, tendon and beef tripe in a spicy dark soup." When the bowl came to table, I immediately knew it was wrong. This was just beef balls and beef chunks in a fairly plain beef soup flavored with fish sauce. Not dark, and certainly not spicy. No tendon. No tripe. No apology. I twice asked the server about the tendon and tripe (he seemed to forget about my first inquiry), and he eventually said that they were simply taken out of the dish.
So...no review of boat noodles this time (there's another potential place in my sights), so I settled for the pad thai, as the menu screamed "A must try!" and the server said it's the most popular item at the restaurant. He also promised there was no ketchup used in the preparation.
Turns out there's also no tamarind, which I don't understand. Also no salted radish strips or dried shrimp. No tofu. There's egg, but not the typical omelet strips. Bean sprouts--but cooked in, and not raw. There are some green onions, but very little, and no cilantro or chives for herbal notes. No chilis for heat, and no lime for acidity and sourness. (Isn't Thai food about the balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy?) To top it off, the pork texture was tough. On the positive side, the rice noodles were cooked well, and the cabbage and carrot were colorful.
If you want more: We asked for high spice level on a variety of dishes, but only the papaya salad ($7.99, with "duplicate?" indicated in the online menu) delivered the desired heat. It's not nearly the best version I've had of this dish (the promised dried shrimp were missing), but in contrast to the other dishes we tried, we appreciated its spiciness. Besides, a salad like this, with its crunchiness, is a nice contrast to noodles.
Be aware/beware: ...of everything I mentioned above.
The restaurant's website continues to tout Kauffman's review, its front page reading: "For delicious Lao dishes, seek out the secret menu at Thai Palms." I sought it out, and am sad to report that the secret menu no longer exists. The server said the demand wasn't there, the ingredients wasted, and most of the dishes scrapped--with just a few integrated into the regular menu. What's left is the hyperbole of pad thai being a "must try" and misinformation about dishes like the boat noodles. Bottom line: a facepalm at Thai Palms.

Savage Love
I'm a married guy with a good job, a wonderful kid, and my wife's a good lady. The problem? Sex. She rarely wants/needs it, and when I can get her in the mood it's the same old, dull routine. Same position, I do all the work—she won't even touch my dick!—and it's over in 15 minutes.
I've tried to talk about it with her, even counseling, but she's very defensive. She claims that I am treating her as an "object." She also claims she got adventure out of her system years ago. How nice for her. I never got enough. Never had a blowjob, never had intercourse in any position but missionary. I'm frustrated, angry, and desperate. I never wanted to cheat, but this has gone on for years and things just aren't going to change.
Now—act surprised!—there's an opportunity. This other woman is sexy, smart, and adventurous, and she has a very healthy libido. I want her, she wants me. The problem? She's going to be leaving soon for a job in a new area. Part of me wants to go with her, but it would mean leaving my child. I should also mention that this temptress has gotten herself into trouble in the past. No arrests, but there's a chance of past misdeeds or unstable old boyfriends coming back to haunt her.
I don't want my child hating me forever, but I also want to be happy. What should I do?
Wondering If Love/Lust Is Enough
As the daughter of swingers, I used to be appalled by married people having sex with other people. But my marriage has sent me running for the dark side. The problem is I am not running there with my husband: After having children, he unilaterally ended our sex life. And I am not a cow: I am still smoking hot and have even improved my body after the babies. I have written letters explaining what I need and worn thongs around the house. I have even told him that I cannot imagine being married to him forever if it's going to be like this. He said that we have children now, and people with children don't do that sort of thing!
I feel cheated, and like many people who feel cheated, I cheated. I know it's wrong, but I was dying to fuck someone who actually wanted to fuck me. I am certain I will end up getting busted at some point (at least my parents were honest about fucking other people!), but I am having the best sex of my life and don't want to give it up. On the other hand, my husband is a great guy and a great father. Can I dump an otherwise good man and break up my family just to pursue a life of debauchery? If so, how do I do this without making everyone hate me?
Full Swing
WILLIE and FS's letters arrived on the same day.
I wish I could say that there was something unusual about that. I get letters every damn day from frustrated, desperate men and women who are married to people who are no longer—or were never—interested in sex. Sadly, most people in WILLIE and FS's shoes only write to me after they've spent years enduring, begging, pleading, and cajoling. They write in after they're married, after they've had kids, after they've started affairs—in short, they write when it's way too damn late.
Still, I have some advice for WILLIE and FS, and we'll get to it in a moment. But first, some general observations—and let's get the obvious ones out the way first: Isn't it a shame that WILLIE and FS aren't married to each other? And isn't it too bad that WILLIE's wife and FS's husband aren't a happily sexless couple?
And now, the bank-shot observation: In some instances there may be mitigating circumstances, i.e., there may be a very good reason why a particular husband or wife is no longer interested in sex. For all we know WILLIE doesn't bathe or only speaks civilly to his wife when he wants sex. For all we know FS supports the teaching of intelligent design or is Katherine Harris. But it's not always the fault of the cut-off spouse. It's a well-known fact that there are people out there who simply aren't interested in sex and, judging from the mail, a whole lot of them married people who are.
It needs to be said that depriving a spouse of sex—or subjecting them to absolutely joyless sex in the hope that they'll stop asking for any at all—is an act of emotional violence. And this brand of emotional violence not only creates frustration, anger, and desperation, it inevitably leads to infidelity, which all too often leads to divorce, broken homes, and traumatized children.
And who gets the blame?
The spouse who cheated, of course! Didja hear? WILLIE—a man with a wife and a child at home!—ran off with another woman! Oh, and FS—a woman with a husband and kids!—was sleeping with another man!
To all those folks out there who aren't interested in sex: Getting married—or civilly united or shacking up or whatever—is like buying a cow. You know going in that you're going to have to milk the thing. But unlike an unmilked cow, a spouse—male or female—won't just stand there in a field and suffer. A spouse is a cow with a credit card, a job, and a car. If you don't milk the cow you married, your cow has the means to go out and find someone who will. If you're fine with that, for God's sake tell your cow. If you lose interest in sex but want to stay married for the kids, friendship, or financial security, apologize to your cow and tell 'em you'll do them the courtesy of turning a blind eye if they'll do you the courtesy of being milked discreetly elsewhere.
Okay, so what should you two do?
WILLIE: If you're going to leave your wife—and in your blowjobless state, who could blame you (besides everyone)—the least you can do for your kid is stay in town. This other woman—the one with the potential legal problems and bad taste in ex-boyfriends—isn't the only other woman on earth. Leave your wife, find someone local, get your dick sucked.
FS: Tell your husband what's going on and tell him why. Offer to stay with him and raise your kids together, if you can hack it. But just as he's made it clear that being with him means no sex, you need to make it clear that being with you means semi-regular cuckolding.
I'm a gay 22-year-old male, and my boyfriend is 24 and seems to have the lowest sex drive ever. He never initiates and he pushes me away three out of the four times I do. It's gotten to the point that I don't initiate anymore. He's a great guy—sweet and perfect for me in every way except this. Cheating is not an option I would consider. However, I'm sex starved over here!
Boy Once Needed Erotics Daily
Once upon a time cheating was not an option WILLIE or FS would have considered either, BONED. Get the hell out while the getting out is good.

Skip to comments.On Ward Churchill and Free Speech
Posted on 02/18/2005 5:18:57 AM PST by TGOMedia
Ward Churchill comes to mind. Churchill is a tenured professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder (home of Division 1As most rape-happy football team) who, not long after the Tragedies, wrote an essay referring to those who died at the World Trade Center as little Eichmans and suggested the attacks were a reasonable response to American policy. (Or something like that. Its hard to know exactly what hes saying for sure; the piece reads like it was written during the third hour of a PCP bender.) The thesis, Some People Push Back, was later expanded into a book, On the Justice of Roosting Chickens.
Fast forward two-and-a-half years. Churchills little Eichmanns blast was pulled from obscurity first by journalists at Hamilton College (who were alerted to Some People Push Back by a professor doing background research on Churchill), then by the New Media in its entirety. Churchills speech at Hamilton was canceled due to security concerns brought about by death threats. During a rant on campus at Boulder, Churchill said he takes full responsibility for his words, he will not back away from them, hes not sorry. Which is fine with me, believe it or not. There are few things more annoying than someone who honestly speaks their mind and then denies having ever done so (e.g., Eason Jordan). Ward Churchill is an intellectual barbarian, but at least he doesnt deny his barbarity.
There were students in Boulder screaming their approval of Churchill at the tops of their lungs. Sadly, the throng is emblematic of the student body, which gives pause, and they werent screaming because they were so enamored with free speech. They were screaming because they agreed with his basic premises that the world would be better off if the United States didnt exist (insofar as to suggest it should be obliterated tomorrow), that America deserves many more Tragedies, that those who supported the Persian Gulf War were the equivalent of Good Germans during Hitlers world conquest campaign, et cetera. Afterward, in the corridor with television cameras in their faces, many said their support for Churchill was more about free speech than it was stark anti-Americanism.
But how was Churchills right to speak freely actually impeded, as to justify this wave of Leftist support? Yes, speaking engagements were canceled after some nutcases made death threats, but youd be hard pressed to prove that those threats seriously his impeded his freedom to utter nonsense. And to prove it, he gave the speech at Boulder, despite what must have been several similar threats.
One should be struck by the circles in which free speech is forced to travel these days. Though it has since been proven untrue, Churchill spent years selling himself as an Indian. So lets say I was invited to speak at the University of Colorado, and at that speech I said these things: 1) Its not modern Americas fault the Indians vanquished by pale faces didnt have adequate military intelligence, and theres no point in caring about them, anyway. They were only savages. 2) Small pox infected blankets were an acceptable means toward the end of American expansionism. 3) The federal government should give some thought to suing Indiana tribes in particular those with casinos as a means of recouping money spent through Medicare to treat cancer patients, because it was Indians who introduced tobacco to the white man. Would anyone scream about my right to free speech? Not likely. In fact, I would need overwhelming security just to get off the campus, and justifiably so; there are fewer strings of thought one could find more pointless or thoughtless.
But with all things being equal, whats the difference between saying Indians had it coming and saying Cantor Fitzgeralds employees had it coming? Intent. Each argument paints America as genocidal, but only the Churchill argument justifies targeting thousands of innocents when your beef is with a government you cant touch. Free speech counts, even for the very dumb. However, it does us well to understand the difference between a legitimate free speech concern and unique nonsense that cannot be defended by anything other than your supporters yelling, Free speech!
Had the Fraud substituted the term queers where he said Eichmans he would have been fire don the spot. He declared the Regents should be allowed to do their job- well they haven't done their job since they recieve dhis resume in 1980.they have denied students and others their forum for
free speech while protecting this fraud. He is a Dr. ,Lied about his military service and decorations, Lied about his purported Indian heritage. Yet the Univeristy has
protected him? Makes one wonder what the 60s commie agitator has on 'em other than their negligence ?
The Libs want to fire the President of Harvard and stroke Churchill.....Stoopid libs.
People don't have the right to employment from a particular employer. Most of us serve to a great extent at the whim of our managers.
People say that Churchill is tenured and, therefore, immune to the irritation of those that pay for his rantings. If that is so, the whole idea of tenure needs to be reviewed, because those that pay his way include the taxpayers. If taxpayers are forced to pay for someone to insult them, then government entities no longer exist at the consent of the governed.
Here's a bit of common sense. Colleges and universities that employ either stupid teachers or teachers who are con artists can't have much self respect.
What's really irritating to me is the way the left is being allowed to frame this discussion. This is not a free speech issue. Nobody is saying that this idiot Ward Churchill should not be allowed to spew his hate and stupidity all over the world if he wants to. This should be strictly a debate of taxpayer funding of hate speech.
Nobody would argue that our colleges and universities should not pay to have KKK spokesmen come to our young skulls of mush and scream about the evil explosion of evil Jews, Catholics, and Blacks. Then why should be allow taxpayer funding of the type of dribble and evil speech coming from Churchill? Allowing him to speak on a college campus is one thing. There should always be areas on college campuses where anybody with any kind of idea can set up shop and preach. But the universities should not pay or reward these people in any way for their horrible and often stupid opinion.
"He is a Dr."
I didn't see anything about him having a doctorate. At UC's website he is listed as having a MA while everyone else in his division is a PHD.
"He is a Dr."
I didn't see anything about him having a doctorate. At UC's website he is listed as having a MA while everyone else in his division is a PHD.
He probably conferred the doctorate degree on himself, why not, he declared himself an Indian and he isn't. UC Boulder lets this asshole do whatever he wants. Next he'll decide he's the Dean of Students, or perhaps he'll put himself on the Board of Trustees. Give Ward whatever he wants, that's the U of C way.
Indeed, tenure needs to be re-examined.
Not sure if you have herd the latest on Churchill.
The State of Colorado, like most other states, requires that professors sign an oath to support the Constitution of the US and Colorado before any person can teach or serve as a professor. Turns out that Churchill apparently has never signed such an oath. It also turns out that the courts have found it legal to fire any professor who refuses to sign the oath- without any hearing or due process.
This could be the needed justification for the spineless Regents and the University president Betsy Hoffman to get rid of Churchill. If they allow him to teach a single class without signing the oath, they are breaking the law!
I heard on O'R last night that he doesn't even have a Master's degree. The guy is a fraud, plain and simple.
Is this not a minimal requirement for being a full professor, which is a prerequisite for the other two?
Anyone know how UC got around the basics? Even if he got hired through AA as a pseudo Indian, he shouldn't have been able to be any more than an Associate Prof...
Just because an employer decides they're not obligated to pay you while you do your speechifying, it doesn't follow that you're not free to speechify on your own dime.
Rent the hall, buy the ads, drum up willing sponsors, and go for it.
SO has anyone heard any explanation as to how he got the promotions without the education? Did someone from UC explain it anywhere, because it's against all academic standards everywhere.
The question really is: "What constructive purpose does he serve?" The easy answer is, None.
Gosh - I must have missed something!
Is congress attempting to pass a law to make Churchill shut up????
Actually, I can think of one or two litigations or potential litigations today which use the exact same reasoning behind this sentence.
did hear he was studying up to become a Master Baiter.
(Old joke I know but fits that old and foul smelling wind
Ward Churchill)
I musta missed it two-- all I keep heairng from the
"already captured press" is how folk are trying to shut
him up-yet my contention all along has been he has every right to speak--but NO right to defraud the people and foment violent overthrow of our goverment while being paid
from the public trust.
I believe the point in question is that he is not free to perpetrate fraud on the students at UC, and the taxpayers of Colorado who are funding this phony.
They have to be VERY careful to make that clear.
Precisely. It is the fraud that is the problem, and the taxpayers who are funding it.
Depends on your perspective. Ward has a position in the "Ethnic Studies" department at CU, and like any _____________ Studies departments at CU and universities across the land, the CU Ethnic Studies department exists solely as a political wing of the university. They're there simply to push the left-wing agenda prevalent at college campuses everywhere. Their main activities include political activism, indoctrination and promulgation of left-wing propaganda.
Although I didn't make it is clear as I should have (sorry) my point is simply that unless and until Congress attempts to make a law abridging freedom of speech arguments of " infringement upon or violation of" free speech are nonsense and we should never buy into anyone's misuse of the 1st Amendment as a defense.
I agree, but mostly disagree. I had an Ethnic Studies professor who could have passed for Churchill's clone. When you take Churchill's activities in balance he's on a destructive course, not one that contributes to the greater good.
UC website Dept of Ethnic Studies has him listed as BA, MA, Sangaman State University. Take a look at Sangaman. He must have been there before it was absorbed by U of Illinois. Don't have a clue as to what his major was since Sangaman didn't have a catalog of classes or even departments or Deans. A real academic hippie heaven for budding commies.
Read the rest of my post--we're on common ground.
I'm a prof with an MA......an adjunct only. In some colleges I could be an Associate, but in NONE could I be a full professor, which is required to be a department head.
Even if the Masters is legit, the department headship cannot be, nor can the tenure.........at least as far as I know.
(Sangaman State, eh? One of your more prominant places of higher learning......)
Arrghh!! I HATE when I do that!
Most certainly do agree. Our Courts need be reminded that there are laws/Constitutional Quotes (Constitution.org)
and there is that precedent discovered by the Judiciary
committees of the Senate Jan.19,1853;and House-March 27,1854
that discuss the Establishment clause-and these can be
reconciled to what Joseph Story and other significant Jurists and politicians had to say about that Amendment.
Their minds are become feeble with too much education and
too many distractions I fear -So I reckon it's up to We the
people to remind them they serve under the Constitution and
the laws pursuant to it -Nothing other than that will suffice.
You are correct.
He claimed to be an American Indian - but 2 tribes have refused to authenticate him. He was hired under affirmative action because of his claim - and I believe that allowed him to claim that because American Indians are a "sovereign nation", Churchill might not have been required to sign a statement declaring to uphold the Constitution.
Churchill also claimed he "served" in Vietnam - but he only worked there - but he allowed people to assume he was in the military.
Being a LIAR - makes his whole application a lie - and he should be fired for those lies - and not because he's a nut case spewing junk about 9/11.
Free speech is cool. Free from consequences or responsbilities of one's speech is not.
"Churchill also claimed he "served" in Vietnam - but he only worked there - but he allowed people to assume he was in the military. "
It seems he was in the military, but not the combat grunt he claimed to be. He was a Jeep driver and a project operator.
It's a bit silly, really. Churchill's right to free speech is not impeded one bit. In fact, he'll land more speaking gigs and sell more copies of his rancid little book off this than he would have had it never come up.
Hmmmm? Interesting!
According to a guest on O'Reilly last night, Ward does not even have a Master's Degree.
In the Headlines We Would Like to See category: Huge blast completely destroys CU campus. Coloradoans celebrate millions in improvements. Liquor industry laments. The only casualty appears to be the remains of 13/16ths of an old wore out hippy clutching a copy of the first amendment and half a pack of Pall Malls.
Gosh - I must have missed something!
Is congress attempting to pass a law to make Churchill shut up????
You didn't get the memo? :-)
I want this....person(?) to have a primetime special on all the major networks. I want the entire country to hear what he has to say.
You overlooked the scorched and faded photo of the hippie
in hapier times embracing Che Guevarra under a Commie flag.
FREE SPEECH is only truly FREE if that speech can be freely rebutted, refuted, contradicted, and countered. Otherwise, it is the dictatorial speech of a tyrant.

"Spider-Man 3" will be one of the biggest movies of 2007. But the producers of the megasequel, which grossed nearly $250 million domestically in the first 10 days of its release, didn't rely on mainstream rock acts Nickelback or Evanescence to give their story its musical underpinnings.
Snow Patrol's "Signal Fire" is the soundtrack's lead single, but after that mainstream entry is a heady slate of indie rock's finest: the Walkmen, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Oohlas, Black Mountain, Wolfmother, Rogue Wave, Coconut Records, Sounds Under Radio and the Flaming Lips. This soundtrack's mainstream nod to rock that is independent in nature furthers a trend music fans have noticed more and more the past five years.
The revolution known as indie rock - a subgenre emphasizing individual creative interests over commercial viability - has landed squarely in the mainstream. Bands that used to rock warehouse tours, playing to crowds of 20 or 30 people throughout the Midwest, are now in major films, primetime broadcast and cable television shows, and commercials for McDonald's, Dell and Nissan.
"I don't know if it's quite a revolution as much as it is an eventuality," said Ben Gibbard, the singer-songwriter behind Death Cab for Cutie. "People don't play rock 'n' roll on the radio anymore. But the people who grew up loving rock 'n' roll - the Beatles and Big Star - the kids 10 years older than us who loved R.E.M.
"The mainstream culture ceased to make it a priority," he said. "There had to be a breaking point where people were suddenly going to find out about all this music happening in the underground, and I guess that's where we're at."
Jordan Tappis, president and owner of the Record Collection label and the executive producer of the "Spider-Man 3" soundtrack, said the move toward indie rock was not "a conscious decision ... because it was the flavor of the moment. But I think (Sony) was more open-minded to doing it this way because of the commercial viability of bands like the Shins and Modest Mouse."
From basement to box office
Much has been made over the recent successes of Death Cab, the Shins, Modest Mouse and others. This slow rise started years ago as these bands first formed and began writing music in their basements. But the unintentional movement slapped everyone in the face in 2003-04 with the help of a couple of key media outlets.
"It was definitely weird a few years ago when it no longer became strange to see your friends on television," said Sub Pop tour publicist Joan Hiller, "or to be in Nordstrom looking for underpants and hearing your friends' bands getting played.
"The O.C.," the Fox teen soap that ended in February, helped make Death Cab a household name. Zach Braff's film "Garden State" did the same for the Shins. Modest Mouse largely went the old-fashioned route by scoring one of 2004's biggest hit singles with "Float On."
And while old media was helping these and other bands, it was new media that cemented their newfound home in the mainstream.
"The Internet obviously is the big motivation for these changes, with more music accessible to more people," said Amy Phillips, senior news editor at Pitchfork Media. "It's now easier to hear these bands. You don't have to know about the cool record store in town or the zine or get a mixtape from your friend. You can just hear about a band and go to their MySpace page, and boom, you hear them."
Alexandra Patsavas owns Chop Shop Music Supervision in Los Angeles and worked closely with "The O.C." creator Josh Schwartz on the role music would play in the series, from the onscreen venue The Bait Shop to the six soundtrack CDs the show spawned.
"The Internet has made every band a local band," she said.
It helps that many indie bands are experienced players with multiple albums and countless tours under their belt by the time they rise to mainstream consciousness.
"They do come to the mainstream market fully formed," said the Record Collection's Tappis. "Most of these bands had a long gestation period with independent labels where they put out two or three records ... and they took their time to develop their songwriting.
"Artists like Dylan and the Stones and Bruce Springsteen, their best records were two or three records into their career. These days, major labels don't have the appetite to develop someone that far."
Tuning out FM support
These bands are making great music, and that equates to impressive sales. While it's long been considered notable for an indie band to sell more than 50,000 copies of a record, some contemporary indie bands are topping that without FM radio support. At the other end of the scale, rapper 50 Cent has sold upward of 7 million copies.
For Death Cab's first four releases, the sales numbers currently hover between 99,693 ("We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes") and 170,508 ("The Photo Album"). The band's fifth and final release on indie label Barsuk, "Transatlanticism," has sold 524,317 copies while Death Cab's major label debut on Atlantic, "Plans," has sold more than 873,000 copies.
Modest Mouse's new "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank" has moved only 291,248 copies. That record's predecessor, "Good News for People Who Love Bad News," has sold more than 1.5 million copies.
The best-selling record on Sub Pop's indie rock-dominated roster since the recent exposure boom is the Postal Service's "Give Up," with 860,000 copies sold. The Postal Service shares something with Death Cab in that Gibbard is the lead singer for both groups.
"It's proven that if you put good culture in front of people, most likely they're gonna get it," Gibbard said. "The Shins are selling lots of records of a record that came out four years ago. James (Mercer) is an amazing songwriter, but a lot of stars aligned in the last couple of years in a way they haven't before, and it's benefited all of us."
The Shins made headlines in late January when their latest, "Wincing the Night Away," debuted at No.2 on the Billboard charts with more than 118,000 sales the first week of release. The album has gone on to sell 392,000 copies, and while that's impressive, it doesn't stand as tall as previous Shins outings, 2003's "Chutes Too Narrow" (437,000) and 2001's "Oh, Inverted World" (512,000).
So these bands have licensed their music for Outback Steakhouse commercials, and they've appeared on television shows such as "The O.C." They've "changed your life" in films like "Garden State." And unlike some of their predecessors, they've made a living doing what they love.
"It was really weird dealing with the Gap," Shins frontman James Mercer said of his experience with the corporate clothing giant for a 2002 ad. "It's all in-house - they do their own ads - and they have their own music people. When I sent them my ideas, they immediately answered back, 'We don't like any of this.' Two weeks later they actually liked the third one I sent them.
"I have to admit, I did it for the money."
Selling out vs. selling CDs
It takes guts for indie rock musicians, who are supposed to be above commerce, to say they're doing anything for the money. But there's a difference between making FM-friendly music for the money and selling artistically minded music for money. While Mercer doesn't like talking about it, neither does he regret doing it. Ditto for many of his peers.
"I won't lie - the money, of course, is nice," said Jimmy LaValle of the Album Leaf. "But it's also a way to reach out to a different audience. After 'Grey's Anatomy' had aired 'Writings on the Wall,' the popularity of downloading that song went up dramatically. It was the top-downloaded song off that record, and that happened within two weeks of it being aired."
Sometimes having your music heard is a bigger deal than the money. This is the case with the Oolahs, whose song "Small Parts" was plucked for the "Spider-Man 3" soundtrack.
"I feel that it's not really about the money," said the Oolahs' Ollie Stone. "It's more about getting heard. I don't know what's so wrong with an indie band having their music heard and being spread around."
For the Walkmen, appearing on "The O.C." meant financial security - albeit with a little embarrassment.
"It paid really well, and we, uhh, don't exactly have a lot of bread," said the Walkmen's Hamilton Leithauser. "The record company people were thrilled that we'd be willing to do something that stupid. I guess we caught them by surprise when we said, 'Sure."'
For Rogue Wave, licensing their music to the "Stubbs the Zombie" video game, "The O.C." and films ranging from "Napoleon Dynamite" to
"Spider-Man 3" meant opening doors.
"It really just allowed us to be self-reliant, where we didn't have to open for somebody, to go out and build our own following," said Zach Rogue. "It's not like we were famous."
While music fans are notoriously fickle, indie rock fans celebrate their snobbiness unabashedly. As one blogger snidely wrote upon first hearing Modest Mouse's break-out record: "Indie kids, prepare to share your favorite band." Some fans have reacted negatively to these bands' newfound success.
"Now you're no longer the one kid in science class who knows about Grizzly Bear," said Sub Pop's Hiller. "Now there are three kids in science class who know them. It's that that makes people (angry) that there was an M&Ms commercial or an 'O.C.' spot. Next thing you know, the cheerleaders know about Grizzly Bear."
But this indie rock renaissance is going forward whether the kids like it or not.
"My selfish goal from the start was to expose mainstream audiences to independent music," said the Record Collection's Tappis. "And one of the reasons we chose to go with bands like the Killers and Snow Patrol was to expose them to unsigned bands like Silence on the Radio."

Indie rock milestones
A look at some important moments in indie rock:
1979: Sub Pop Records is born in Olympia, Wash., initially as a fanzine called Subterranean Pop.
1981: Guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo hook up with bass player Kim Gordon and call themselves Sonic Youth.
1984: Minneapolis post-punk band Hüsker Dü releases the "Zen Arcade" double LP, providing a creative blueprint for ambitious underground bands from the Replacements to the Pixies.
1987: Former Dinosaur Jr. bassist Lou Barlow releases "Weed Forestin," a lo-fi collection of home recordings, under the curious name Sentridoh (a percursor to Sebadoh).
1989: Merge Records is formed in Chapel Hill, N.C.
1991: Sebadoh releases the 7-inch single "Gimme Indie Rock!" The tongue-in-cheek title ironically helps cement the term in the underground-music community.
1993: Liz Phair's (left) seminal "Exile in Guyville," a post-feminist response to the Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main St.," hits the shelves. That same year, Isaac Brock and two friends form Modest Mouse.
1994: Guided by Voices releases "Bee Thousand," a proudly messy, amateurish album of brilliant, '60s-influenced melodies and surreal lyrics.
1997: Death Cab for Cutie starts as a solo project for Ben Gibbard. That same year, the Shins are formed in New Mexico as a side project to frontman James Mercer's other band, Flake.
2003: "The O.C." first airs, and Adam Brody is suddenly forever connected with Death Cab. The soundtrack was mostly indie rock. The Fox show runs through February 2007.
2004: "Garden State" is released in theaters, and the Shins, the song "New Slang" and Natalie Portman in a pair of giant headphones expose moviegoers to a big dose of indie rock.
2007: The Arcade Fire releases its second record on Merge, "The Neon Bible."
Indie rock's hall of fame
A list of essential indie rock albums is something fans could bicker over for years, but here's our list of a dozen records that help define the subgenre and its exciting history.
"Zen Arcade," Hüsker Dü: This 1984 double-LP concept album on SST changed the rules in the American underground.
"Tim," the Replacements: The Replacements were just making their transition to the majors with this release, which was a poetic melding of the hard-core and accessible.
"Daydream Nation," Sonic Youth: Two LPs, 14 songs and careening art rock made the ground shake in 1988.
"You're Living All Over Me," Dinosaur Jr.: This primal, thrashy masterpiece was influenced by everything surrounding it, yet still maintained its originality.
"III," Sebadoh: You'll often hear lo-fi thrown around while talking indie rock, and this classic is what they mean.
"Slanted and Enchanted," Pavement: Of all its records, this is where Pavement tapped the vein.
"Bee Thousand," Guided by Voices: It took a while for Bob Pollard to be heard outside of Ohio. But this record busted the state line and started something special.
"Exile in Guyville," Liz Phair: Most records with 18 songs are excessive. Not this one.
"In the Aeroplane Over the Sea," Neutral Milk Hotel: If you're a fan of melodic rock music, quirky or not, this record demands to be part of your collection.
"69 Love Songs," Magnetic Fields: Stephin Merritt is a songwriter of the people, and this is his most impressive outing.
"Kill the Moonlight," Spoon: Song for song, one of the most consistent indie rock releases of all time.
"Funeral," the Arcade Fire: An exuberant instant classic that scored a 9.7 rating from the notoriously tough Pitchfork, this record is one of the greatest debuts in rock history.

May 6, 2016
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - The last of five Red Cross shelters still open since deadly South Texas flooding has closed as recovery continues from the high water.
Officials say the final shelter still serving victims of the May 25 flooding closed Thursday afternoon in San Antonio. The last six people who spent Wednesday night at the shelter have since made other living arrangements.
The Red Cross had operated four shelters in San Antonio and one in Floresville - providing accommodations for more than 150 people since the storm.
Three people died after being swept away by floodwaters.

1. Re: CR workspace cause rollbacktosp infeasible.Ben Speckhard-Oracle Nov 21, 2011 8:12 PM (in response to 883548)Hi,
This is expected behavior. This operation is not allowed primarily to prevent data from potentially changing within a child workspace during a rollback operation. This is the same reason we prevent rollback over an implicit savepoint for a non-CR workspace. If you need to have the rollbackToSP functionality, you cannot currently use a CR workspace.
Instead of creating a savepoint in the parent workspace, have you tried to set auto_commit=>FALSE and rollback the open transaction?
