A long time back I started to attempt to code some simple web apps with spring MVC ( using maven), and I remember it wasn't something I could setup in 30 minutes.
Is there a step by step tutorial setting up Spring MVC with intellij?
I'm looking to setup a base spring mvc application, simple hello world for now with:
Spring MVC
How long would it take a seasoned developer?
Wish there was a specific tutorial that uses IntelliJ, and explains all things like artifacts, modules and other IntelliJ specific project layout concepts.

A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.
~John F. Kennedy
See why 1984 wont be like 1984 (1984 Macintosh)
While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius (1997 Think Different campaign)
Less is more (2003 PowerBook G4)
Random is the new order (2005 iPod shuffle)
Touching is believing (2007 iPhone)
Small is huge (2009 Mac mini)
It was a presentiment that human thought, in changing its form, was about to change its mode of expression; that the dominant idea of each generation would no longer be written with the same matter, and in the same manner; that the book of stone, so solid and so durable, was about to make way for the book of paper, more solid and still more durable.
Despite all the promise of modernity to make religion disappear, what has really happened is that religion has modernized itself. . . . What we are witnessing is not the conflict of religion and modernity, but the transformation of modernity into enchantment by linking new communication technologies to the logic of popular religiosity.
Our minds are sort of electrochemical computers. Your thoughts construct patterns like scaffolding in your mind. You are really etching chemical patterns. In most cases, people get stuck in those patterns, just like grooves in a record, and they never get out of them. Its a rare person who etches grooves that are other than a specific way of looking at things, a specific way of questioning things. Its rare that you see an artist in his 30s or 40s able to really contribute something amazing. Of course, there are some people who are innately curious, forever little kids in their awe of life, but theyre rare.

I came home early one day and found my wife and our next door neighbor sucking each other's pussies. Needless to say they were shocked to see me! It was hot! What I've never told them though is that me and her husband have been sucking and fucking each other for two years now
Instead of "leg fucking", I wished they would have sucked those gorgeous boobs right there. More tit sucking people!

This retractable pencil duo includes eyeliner on one end and highlighter on the other. Although the concept is good, the delivery is just so-so. The eyeliner goes on with creamy-smooth ease and sets to a powdery finish, but be aware that the color can still smudge a bit. The shades offered include black, brown, and navy blue.
The highlighter has a creamy application but sets to a powdery finish and, depending on which eyeliner shade you choose, comes in pink, cream, or white. The highlighter is intended for use along the brow bone and inner corner of the eye. Highlighters look the most attractive when they offer a subtle shimmery glow, but in this case, the colors are a little too frosty/glittery (think disco ball)—so your eye area looks more razzle-dazzle than softly illuminated.

Too bad...

Comments about Almay Wake Up Eyeliner + Highlighter:
Great coverage, beautiful colors (coffee/buff) and long lasting, even on my oily lids...too bad BOTH sides fell out within the first week! Going to return the pen, minus its contents, and try it again. Hopefully, it was just a freak defect because I liked the effect.

Almay At-A-Glance
Strengths: An excellent assortment of mascaras; several exceptional foundation options to choose from; a phenomenal liquid eyeliner; a selection of good makeup removers.
Weaknesses: Some of the Intense i-color products do the exact opposite of enhancing eye color; mediocre blushes; "Smart Shade" products don't automatically adapt to skin's color as claimed.
Long a standby for those with sensitive skin seeking hypoallergenic products (though that term is unregulated and can be applied to any product, regardless of ingredients), Almay continues to refine its comprehensive makeup line. In early 2006 the company repackaged its old favorites, and also relaunched several new makeup items. Everything now has a sleek new look and color-coded packaging. We admit, the makeover is effective, not just product-wise but visually too.
Shopping this drugstore line is now much easier because of the clearly defined product and color family groupings. Lamentably, testers and trial sizes of the makeup are still scarce regardless of where you shop. Almay has always been a reliable line for foundations, powder, and mascara. Within its current lineup you'll find that remains true. Their foundations are better than ever, and still offer full, broad-spectrum sun protection and a mostly neutral palette. We also found their concealers and mascaras have improved, as have the pencil options. When it comes to shopping for makeup staples with state-of-the-art formulas, Almay has many winners, and some innovative surprises that its competitors would be wise to learn from.

Debconf 8 Scheduled for August 2008 in Argentina
The international Debian Developer Conference 2008 will be held in the Argentine cirty of Mar del Plata August 2 through 17.
Margarita Manterola announced the final schedule on various Debian mailing lists. The conference proper with lectures and discussions will take place between August 10 and 16, with Debcamp before and after. Accommodation and the network will be available at this time, and individual developer groups will be able to use the infrastructure for meetings and teamwork.
After the conference, the free software project will again be welcoming the general public on Debian Day. The event will take place August 18 in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires.
Registration for the event will start late in 2007; more details are available on the Debconf website at http://debconf8.debconf.org. The location, Mar del Plata, 400 kilometers from the capital, is a popular seaside resort. But before you Debian fans out there start packing your bathing costumes, be warned: Mar del Plata is in the southern hemisphere, so Debconf 8 will be in the middle of winter – the organizers recommend warm and waterproof clothes!

Shoes Debuted
"We are all divorced from life, we are all cripples, every one of us, more or less," wrote the great Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky. "We are so divorced from it that we feel at once a sort of loathing for real life, and so cannot bear to be reminded of it. Why, we have come almost to looking upon real life as an effort, almost as hard work, and we are all privately agreed that it is better in books. And why do we fuss and fume sometimes? Why are we perverse and ask for something else? We don't know what ourselves. It would be the worse for us if our petulant prayers were answered. Come, try, give any one of us, for instance, a little more independence, untie our hands, widen the spheres of our activity, relax the control and we… yes, I assure you… we should be begging to be under control again at once." On the other hand, actress Sarah Jessica Parker is finally releasing her line of shoes, the SJP Collection, and though the footwear "is set to be exclusively available at Nordstrom and nordstrom.com, from Feb. 28 to March 2, Carrie Bradshaw fangirls can flock to her NYC pop-up shop and get their fashion fix," so who's to say?

We had my DD's parent teacher conference about a week ago and she is doing great with everything except her writing. Her teacher had some books with samples of the writing of all the kids in the class and I have to say my DD's was one of the worst. It's frustrating because she'd doing excellent with her letter recognition, site words, letter sounds, conduct, math, etc. Pretty much everything except the writing and to make matter worse although her writing isn't great at home it's much better than what she's showing at school. It looks to me like she's rushing through it and not putting her best effort in. Her teacher honestly isn't sure if it's a developmental thing because she is a very young kindergartener or if it's something else (like a fine motor delay which she would need OT for). Luckily her teacher is great and bought her some pencil grips and is going to start having her use a fat pencil instead of a skinny one. She said we'd keep trying different things until we find out what works. This has been an ongoing thing with Ella, she has always had trouble/lack of interest in writing and coloring within the lines also. I have posted in the past about this same issue. Just wondering if anyone is in the same boat? I have been working with her at home but she gets very frustrated with me if I correct her. I just would hate for her to have to repeat kindergarten for this one issue when everything else is so strong, but her teacher did mention that as a possibility. Sorry so long!
Doing great with everything...except writing, anyone else?
I have purchased a Handwriting Without Tears workbook that she completed over the summer and I loved it. I'm definitely going to look into OT for her. Thanks for all the advice everyone!
Tara-32 DH-33 DD Ella 9/10/2007 DD#2 Maci 2/3/2010
I don't know I'd he is being lazy or if its a fine motor skills problem.I told his ped and he said that its his ADHD causing it. I highly doubt that. He is not extreme adhd I think it's selective if that makes sense. It's only during school hours. So in my defense he Does Not have ADHD. ADHD is something that goes on through our the day. Not just during school hours.
Let me know what solution you came up with. Or what worked for her. I would love to exchange ideas. Good luck.
Scorpio Wife and Mommy to "BLUE" X3❤❤❤Loving my boys
Pinkypie, I'm sorry you're going through this too, but it is good to know that I'm not alone with this issue. It just seems like writing comes so easily to most children! Some of the kids in DD's class write almost as well as I do! Crazy! Ella was actually evaluated by the school OT yesterday (her teacher is awesome, so proactive) and since she doesn't qualify for special ed (handwriting is the only thing she struggles with) she can't get OT through school at all. The OT did give her teacher several ideas on things to work on though and she's going to email me the list of ideas today. When I get it I'll PM it to you so you have it too for your son. Her teacher did mention to me that writing vertically a lot of times helps so I'm going to get her an easel. She's also been using pencil grips for the past week or so which you can buy on amazon for really cheap and those do help her grip the pencil a little better (although still not 100% correctly). As for getting them to enjoy writing more I wish I knew what the answer to that was!
Tara-32 DH-33 DD Ella 9/10/2007 DD#2 Maci 2/3/2010
My son is very similar, especially this: "It looks to me like she's rushing through it and not putting her best effort in."
He definitely rushes through writing, coloring, etc. He was pretty slow to develop those skills compared to everything else like, reading, math. He's not the worst in the class but probably the lower end of the median? I don't see them write a ton b/c I'm there volunteering for math centers and not always there for writing. I think I'm going to check out HWT. When he slows down, his writing is fine. His conference is on Monday so that's def. something I want to talk to his teacher about :)
My daughter is the total opposite, she's been holding a pencil since before she was two and loves to draw and color, but refuses to learn her letters. Kids are all so different.
Rachel, mom to J. 02/2007 and K. 05/2009
Yes they are so different Rachel, my youngest loves to color and even tries to write letters, although she's 2 1/2 so obviously I can't read them yet lol. Atleast she's interested though! I could never really even get Ella to color until she was almost 4. Ella's teacher sent home some HWT worksheets today with her folder and we started practicing on those tonight. She loved it, I wasn't even going to make her do one tonight but she wanted to.
Tara-32 DH-33 DD Ella 9/10/2007 DD#2 Maci 2/3/2010
My DD didn't even know how to hold a pencil correctly when she started K. She always had her hand in a fist with the pencil. I bought some little kids finger grips and those really helped. However, DD's teacher wouldn't let her use them so her writing looked really bad at first.
She has gotten better but there are some kids (I volunteer in her classroom) that simply can not seem to hold it right and their writing is illegible. They are still learning though and it's common for it to take time to develope this skill. We forget how hard it must be to learn a new skill that requires so much focus and detail. I don't think everytime a kid takes a little longer to learn something that there has to be a 'reason' (like a developmental delay) for it. Just give her some time. If it doesn't improve by the next conference then worry. Kindergarten is where kids are learning these skills.
Well aren't you just a fun filled little lollipop tripled dipped in psycho!
Thanks FirstBaby Girl, Ella has been using the pencil grips and they do seem to help some. Your words do make me feel a lot better and you're right these things do need to develop with time. Plus she is a very young kindergartener since she just turned 5 in Sept, I have seen some progress since the beginning of the year definitely. I think she just happens to be in a class with a lot of really good writers, and of course I can't help but compare a little. Atleast 5 kids in her class of 22 are a full year older than her though so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.

" I took a leap of faith with this purchase. There were only 9 reviews on Amazon, but the avg was 4.5. I don't usually expect a lot of credence in most Amazon reviews, but people are critical of bluetooth headsets in general. I am, too.

Student Designer Creates More Sustainable Packaging for LED Light Bulbs
Posted By Inhabitat On February 29, 2012 @ 12:50 pm In Design,Green Graphics & Packaging,Green Lighting,Innovation,Reader Submitted Content,Recycled Materials | No Comments
While LED light bulbs help save energy and are most certainly a greener choice than incandescents, the packaging of these more eco-friendly light bulbs leaves much to be desired. Using Philips LED bulbs [1] as an example, student designer Bryant Yee created a new system of packaging [2] that aims to bring awareness to socially responsible boxes for LEDs. Current packaging does not maximize sustainable materials or construction, and also fails to clearly convey information. Yee's packaging design uses only post-consumer recycled paper, promotes recycling old bulbs, and supplies the consumer with updated information through modern graphic design. His project was a runner up in the 2011 Core77 Design Awards [2], and you can watch a video demonstration about it here [3]. Read an in-depth Q&A [2] with Yee on Core77's website [2] here.

3, 2, 1 Cake
These individual little cakes are amazing and ready to eat in one minute! They are perfect for whenever you feel like a treat without all the fat and calories that cake can have. Genius idea!
Servings: 1
1 box Angel Food Cake Mix
1 box Cake Mix - Any Flavor
2 Tbsp Water
In a ziploc bag, combine the two cake mixes together and mix well. For each individual cake serving, take out 3 Tablespoons of the cake mix combination and mix it with 2 Tablespoons of water in a small microwave-safe container. Microwave on high for 1 minute, and you have your own instant individual little cake! Keep remaining cake mixture stored in the ziploc bag and use whenever you feel like a treat! You can top each cake with a dollop of fat free whipped topping and/or some fresh fruit.
Helpful Tips:
This recipe is called 3, 2, 1 Cake because all you need to remember is "3 tablespoons mix, 2 tablespoons water, 1 minute in the microwave!" Try various flavors of cake mix like carrot, red velvet, pineapple, lemon, orange, etc. Just remember that one of the mixes has to be the angel food mix; the other is your choice. The flavor possibilities are endless!

Have you heard about Devin McClean yet? If not you will. What happened to him is a perfect example of how upside down this country is! This fine man was fired for doing the right thing in my book…yet he was fired for doing just that because of 'no gun zone, zero tolerance policy' at his former place of employment.
Read and watch this…see what you think. – This is via TB:
When former AutoZone employee Devin McClean grabbed his gun from his car and chased an armed robber out of his store, he didn't think his quick thinking would get him fired…but it did.
"I was in fear of my life as soon as he walked through the door and I see the gun. Your heart just starts pounding," McClean told NewsChannel 3.
As it turns out, McClean's Yorktown, Va., store was being robbed by the so-called "fake-beard bandit" (probably the worst nickname in the history of crime), a criminal who had already knocked over about 30 businesses in the Virginia Peninsula area.
As the gunman forced the manager to unlock the store's safe, McClean, a 23-year-old Air Force veteran, slipped out the back to retrieve his Glock 40 from his truck.
"I waited for him to go up toward the front, I ran out of the restroom, ran out to my truck where I keep my own personal weapon, grabbed my weapon, came back into the store and confronted the guy," McClean recalls.
"When I yelled 'freeze' and I said 'Stop! Drop the weapon,' he threw his hands up with his gun still in his hand he started running," the former AutoZone employee adds. "I felt like it was my responsibility to step in."
The gunman wisely chose to flee.
"I watched him run down the street," McClean told Fox News. "I came back inside and made sure my manager was okay and he called the police."
But although the store's manager was grateful for his employee's bravery, McClean was fired two days later — right before Thanksgiving.
"It's pretty much getting slapped in the face doing something that you feel was right everybody else around you feels you were right," says McClean.
Other than to reiterate the company's zero tolerance policy on weapons inside stores, AutoZone representatives refuse to comment on McClean's firing.
And being laid off couldn't have come at a worse time for McClean: He's about to be a father.
"We're having a little boy," he said. "I remember when the guy came in with that gun. My initial thought was I want to make it home to my family. I want to have the opportunity to meet my son and for my son to meet his dad. And for someone to come in and shove a gun in your face?"
The former AutoZone employee explains that his decision to go back into the store and rescue his co-workers was informed by lessons he learned in the U.S. Air Force.
"Never leave a man behind," he said. "I'm not going to leave my brother in a room with a guy with a gun — that's threatening his life."
"If I can save somebody's life, I put that way above a store policy," he adds.
And you better believe there's been some backlash against the company for its decision to terminate McClean.
Fox News provides the details:
Cam Edwards, of NRA News, called AutoZone's decision an "injustice."
"It may have been corporate policy to fire Devin McLean, but it's also an injustice. He came to the aid of a fellow employee threatened by an armed robber and was canned. They should have named him employee of the year."
He said the nation needs more people like McLean.
"He had the chance to run away but instead he chose to arm himself with his legally owned gun and save the life of his supervisor," Edwards told Fox News. "Wouldn't we all like to work with someone like Devin?"
Customers have launched a boycott against the company on Facebook and a petition has been started urging them to rehire McLean.

Research Institution:
AbstractAll Soldiers are required to master 17 First Aid procedures in basic training. These 17 procedures are described in 99 pages of the Soldiers' Manual of Common Tasks. To even the best student, recall of these exact procedures in a stressful situation would be challenging. This proposal outlines a research and development program to develop an iconic language of visual mnemonics. This iconic language will be integrated into first aid training to better enable Soldiers to encode the 17 procedures, and the icons will be printed on "flash cards" that Soldiers can carry with them into battle to serve as reminders of the procedures. Aptima, working with its partner, Wexford, will identify hierarchical clusters of information within those 99 pages. For each identified cluster, an aspect of a mnemonic will be designed to create an iconic language. These aspects will be combined to create visual mnemonics for each procedure. These mnemonics will then be embedded into the existing first aid training program and printed on flash cards. In combination this will improve the effectiveness of the first aid training Soldiers receive as well as improve recall of procedures in an emergency situation.

I fell out of the habit of posting these, but I thought you might dig seeing what Seattle's taste is (as told through one record store) versus the rest of America.
Here are the top sellers at Silver Platters stores last week:
1. Ray LaMontagne, Gossip in the Grain
tied with
1. Lucinda Williams, Little Honey
3. AC/DC, Black Ice
4. Bob Dylan, Volume 8, Tell Tale Signs: The BO Basic 2 Disc
5. Kings of Leon, Only By The Night
6. Pretenders, Break Up The Concrete
7. Fleet Foxes, Fleet Foxes
8. Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, Raising Sand
9. Cure, 4:13 Dream
10. Michael Franti & Spearhead, All Rebel Rockers
And here's Billboard's Top 10:
1. Twilight, soundtrack
2. AC/DC, Black Ice
3. High School Musical 3: Senior Year, soundtrack
4. Hinder, Take It To The Limit
5. Pink, Funhouse
6. John Legend, Evolver
7. T.I., Paper Trail
8. Andrea Bocelli, Incanto
9. Brad Paisley, Play
10. Rascal Flatts, Greatest Hits Vol. 1
What We Can Learn From This: Americans love movie soundtracks. Also, we've proven,l post-Bush, that we're not TOTAL dipshits. Because we listen to Bocelli and we elected Barack Obama. Suck on that, Western Europe!
What I Can Learn From This: I am the only person in the Pacific Northwest who can't stand Michael Franti. Me + jam bands = ick.

I'm having absolutely no luck getting the eccentric bottom bracket to move on my Cannondale (it's a 2006 Cannondate Vintage, very similar to the Cannondale Bad Boy bikes). Many of the bikeforums posts relate to the eccentric bottom brackets for Tandems, and I think the eccentric I have could be different. I've also read the 'Cannondale Maintenance Instructions' thread, but that hasn't helped. I've taken a couple of pictures of the BB here:
The wedge itself loosens OK. The problem is that the BB simply will not rotate. I have tried rotating the BB using the SPA-4 Park Tool, which has resulted in some slight damage as you can see on the second image. I'm wondering if I need the SPA-1 tool instead? I'm thinking about putting an allen key or screwdriver into the top hole on the right-side, which goes right the way through, but am concerned about damaging the BB. I've also tried spraying the seams with WD40.
If anyone can suggest a fix?

Pain to the World (世界に痛みを, Sekai ni Itami o) is episode 162 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.
While the Inuzuka and Aburame clans are facing the Preta Path and Konan respectively, the Deva Path had a short conversation with Tsunade. After expressing their conflicting views on peace, the Deva Path was visibly angered by Tsunade's refusal to back down and accept Akatsuki's offer to surrender. Meanwhile Ino, Inoichi and Shizune are uncovering the truth behind Pain, but the Human Path came and removed Shizune's soul, thus killing her and extracting information on where Naruto is. After doing so, the Animal Path summoned all Six Paths of Pain (save the Deva Path) and Konan to a safe place. Declaring that Konoha shall know pain, he used a large-scale Shinra Tensei, reducing the village to a massive crater just as Shima attempts to summon help. A heavily injured Sakura appears traumatised and cries out for Naruto to please save them. Timely enough, Naruto Uzumaki in Sage Mode, arrives with Fukasaku, Gamaken, Gamahiro, Gamakichi and Gamabunta to Konoha to face Pain.

Sorry I missed getting a question up yesterday. I had to leave work to get a Deep Vein Scan because of some pain in my leg that wasn't going away. Did you know that pregnant women are 6 times more likely to get blood clots than the general population? And that Pulmonary Embolism is the greatest killer of women in childbirth? Best get it checked out if you have unexplained leg pain. My test came out negative (WOOHOO), but it was a LOOONG day.
QOTD: What is the most annoying question you keep getting during pregnancy?
My answer: I'm getting really tired of people asking if I've been having crazy cravings. And more often than not, they're disappointed when I say "no." I'll happily answer if I'm feeling Ok, if I'm having morning sickness, is baby moving a lot...but it bugs the holy heck out of me when they ask about cravings. It's like they want me to say something totally gross and weird so that they have a story to pass on. A strange tidbit about me and my inner workings. I feel like making things up at times, just to get them to leave me alone, but I think it would just generate more questions about a topic that I have no interest in.

More doodles from yesterday, Mazalaen from Zalitraeq and a shy octopus:
These two are for sale too, for $40 since they're bigger than the others.
The scanner is once again working, so I'll be mailing doodles to people who have paid for them already either today or tomorrow. I'm also planning to put some of these on Zazzle because… you know, shy octopus shirts. Finally, I am hoping to hear back from Kickstarter at some point. If they turn down the project again, I will probably just do a livestream version. You'll know when I do.
Anyway, prompts for doodles are welcome. I may or may not use them. Cute or simple things particularly welcome, and remember, I don't do weird, ugly or snarky!

Carlsberg's decision to limit drinking on the job to one beer during lunch break understandably prompted a strike among employees at Denmark's biggest brewery last week.
"Shit, I guess now I have to pack a lunch."
For the Danes (I happen to be one), everyday drinking is a birth right, and the managers a Carlsberg better be afraid. Unions are joining the fight for boozing it up on the job. An agreement is expected at the end of the month.
For over a century workers at Danish breweries have been allowed three beers during the day, and Carlsberg's new alcohol policy is a slap in the face, say employees.
"I need a beer when I take a cigarette break," Juseif Izaivi told WSJ.com.
And just to show how big of a deal this corporate social responsibility nonsense is to the Vikings, Carlsberg truck drivers whose three beers a day will not be affected by the new law have also joined the strike.
But what about drunkenness on the job, you might ask?The legal drinking age in Denmark is 16. That means, that while your high school dances were chaperoned, we had bouncers--and being president of the social committee, I also happened to have the key to the liquor cabinet.
To the Danes, drinking is not just a leisure activity reserved for happy hour, it's our culture. That's why one of the most popluar TV shows ever on Danish television depicted the entire history of Carslberg's breweries. It's why we did nothing but sigh when we learned our Prime Minister had spent a lot of tax money on red wine.
Trust me, we Danes got this down. I mean, we are talking about a nation who in 2008 ran out of ale during Christmas. We are proud of our taste for hooch, and won't pathetically hide it in a brown bag. Let's hope Carlsberg recovers from this temporary brain damage, and lets people drink on the job again.

Formulated with a proprietary soy blend wax formulation, all NEST candles burn evenly and infuse a room with fragrance. The custom glass was designed to complement the beauty of your home with a classic shape and modern stripe etching on crystal clear glass.
Flowering Bamboo is mingled with a variety of white florals, sparkling citrus and fresh green accords.
Burn time: approximately 50 hours.
NEST Candles are the only candles I have every purchased that burn evenly and cleanly all the way to the bottom. Most candles seem lose about 25 to 30% because the outer edges never burn. NEST Candles are so fresh and clean. I highly recommend them (and am delighted to be able to get them at a discount on Skinstore!)
Please remove the candle from the box before burning. The candle can be burned for 3-4 hours at a time. Trim wick to 1/4" before lighting. Candles should always be placed away from flammable material, on a fireproof surface and out of reach of children. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury and/or property damage.
This product can be shipped to any country to which SkinStore currently ships.
There are no DOT restrictions on the delivery of this item – you may elect to have this item sent through any of our delivery methods.

|First Book
Mission Statement: First Book provides access to new books to children in need.
|Algebra Project Network
Mission Statement: The strategy of the Algebra Project for the issue of math and education reform of the country's public school systems is a marriage of, on the one hand, insights gained from the organizing traditions of the Civil Rights Movement, and on the other, the sudden appearance of math literacy on par with reading and writing literacy caused by the shift from industrial to information age technologies. The Project has used organizing techniques of the Civil Rights Movement to work the demand side of math and education reform. It has raised in the public arena math literacy as a civil right and it has raised within a nucleus of young minority students the issue of math literacy as knowledge work. Such work is long-term and requires deep-rooted commitment over the next several generations. However, it appears to have a sound historical grounding. It takes advantage of a world-wide technological evolution which will play itself out across the 21st century, and push mathematics and quantitative literacy more and more to the forefront of the literacies required for citizenship in democratic countries. It injects into this technological era the only strategy that has successfully revolutionized race relations in this country, namely, the creation at the grassroots level of a demand for change among the people most debilitated by the current arrangements. i.e. It was not until the Sharecroppers demanded the right to vote in the early 1960s that the coalition of forces advocating on their behalf were able to break through the powerful institutional obstacles to their obtaining the right to vote.
It is important and useful to point out that the subtext of the movement for the right to vote in Mississippi was illiteracy. In the Mississippi Delta following the Civil War, the institution of Sharecropping promoted illiteracy among a whole people. When SNCC field secretaries took illiterate Sharecroppers to the polls to demand their political rights, they raised the argument that a people who have been denied literacy through political arrangements could not be denied access to politics because they were illiterate. Because Sharecroppers were refugeed by the millions into every urban area of the country from the end of WWII to the end of the 1960s, Sharecropper Education, the education of lowest expectations, was spread and currently thrives in every urban school district in the country. Accordingly, it is useful to point out that the subtext for the current illiteracy in these urban schools is the historical, political disenfranchisement of African Americans.
|Room To Read
Mission Statement: Room to Read seeks to transform the lives of millions of children in developing countries by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. Working in collaboration with local communities, partner organizations and governments, we develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children, and support girls to complete secondary school with the relevant life skills to succeed in school and beyond.

An enchanting toga that blends ancient fashion with modern style
The Deluxe Classic Toga (Female) Adult Costume is enticing and lighthearted, an outfit that would impress Julius Caesar himself. Ancient Greece and Rome are known for their art, philosophy, architecture and theater, but perhaps their most lasting contribution is the toga. In ancient Rome, the toga was a symbol of citizenship and prosperity, and it was only worn during periods of peace. In other words, when Romans wore togas, it usually meant that life was going well. Today, togas can still be symbols of happy times, and they're perfect for Halloween gatherings and college parties. Additionally, you could always throw a toga party, a classic event that's sure to draw a crowd. It's an easy party to prepare if you just hang balloons and streamers, invite some friends, put on that toga and laugh the night away. A toga is loose and comfortable, so it's easy to dance in. At the same time, it's graceful and elegant, and the gold trim lends it a hint of regality.

Stocks in India snapped a three-day down trend on Thursday but not without experiencing extremes in volatility that saw the benchmark Sensex Index swing 500 points intraday. Traders appear to be putting aside any negative sentiment created by the fuel price hike and snapping up stocks they deem to be undervalued. The Sensex Index had plunged more than 900 points over the past three trading sessions."There is a lot of volatility in the market. Unless it gains some stability, it is difficult to take a call on the direction. Nevertheless, valuations are attractive at this stage," said Jignesh Shah of ABN Amro Bank.

John Farrell: Jacoby Ellsbury will remain in leadoff spot for now
|05.22.13 at 3:28 pm ET
Making his weekly appearance with "Salk & Holley" Wednesday, Red Sox manager John Farrell said that struggling outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury will remain in the leadoff spot "for the immediate time, right now."
"I'm not going to say that that would be the case forever," Farrell said. "But our goal is to get him going — it's happened to him before where he was dropped down in the order to get his legs back underneath him and get him going. That has certainly not been ruled out. For now, he still remains in that leadoff spot.
"What I don't want to do — and I mentioned this a number of times — I don't want to go through a complete revamping, turning the lineup upside down and shifting two or three guys to the front of the order and replacing those guys in that six or seven slot area. Again, trying to get the highest on-base guys at the top of the order based on matchups as to how guys are going. Some people might point to Daniel Nava as a primary one- or two-hole hitter, but he's done such a good job for us in that six-hole of driving in runs and hitting for power, plus getting on base … it's not just 'Hey, take this guy out of the slot and he becomes a different hitter just because we get him from the one-hole to the six- or seven-hole.'"
Farrell said Ellsbury has done his due diligence when it comes to trying to break out of his slump.
"There's some inconsistency in timing, no doubt about it," Farrell said. "It's encouraging that last night, he gets on two times, one by a walk and one by a base hit up the middle. He's working with Craig Colbrunn obviously — early work, extra BP. I don't necessarily think … I know a lot of people are going to say 'Well, he's got pending free agency, and that's the elephant in the room that's weighing him down.' I don't get that sense. I think it's human nature [to look at] what lies ahead. But Jake has always been a guy that, when adjustments are recommended, they take some time for him to incorporate, and we're going through that right now.
"When you compare video from this year to 2011 when he had the big year, fundamentally, you're going to see the same mechanics, the same swing. Where things are different — and for any hitter, the most important thing is seeing the baseball. If he's seeing it, typically, he's going to be on time. And sometimes, some of the thoughts that might creep in there — whether that's frustration, whether it's from trying to execute a certain swing, those thoughts might interrupt that link from seeing the ball to executing the swing. I think that's where we've seen the inconsistency come from — he's trying to get it right. Sometimes, by trying harder, you get less benefits from the efforts you're putting in."

Obama's Tucson Speech Wins Rare Praise From Conservatives
Here's what the right is saying.
You know it's a good speech when conservatives are not only united in their praise, but also find almost nothing to even nitpick about it. Part of the reason the right has reacted so favorably toward President Obama's remarks at the weird college pep rally/memorial service last night is because of his very direct chastisement of liberal partisans who have tried to pin the blame for the shooting on Sarah Palin, the tea party, or Republican talking heads. But, also, it was just a damn fine speech. Here's what conservative pundits and political commentators are saying about it.
Rick Lowry, Corner/National Review:
The pep-rally atmosphere was inappropriate and disconcerting, but President Obama turned in a magnificent performance. This was a non-accusatory, genuinely civil, case for civility, in stark contrast to what we've read and heard over the last few days. He subtly rebuked the Left's finger-pointing, and rose above the rancor of both sides, exactly as a president should. Tonight, he re-captured some of the tone of his famous 2004 convention speech. Well done.
Marc Thiessen, Post Partisan/WP:
President Obama's address at the memorial in Tucson was really two speeches in one. The first speech was brilliant. The second was courageous. In the first, Obama delivered a traditional memorial address, and did so with elegance and eloquence ... [H]e pivoted to a second speech on our political discourse — and delivered a clear rebuke to those on the left who were so quick to politicize this tragedy and assign blame to their political opponents ... This was unexpected. It was courageous. It was genuine. And the president deserves credit for saying it.
Erick Erickson, Red State:
Mr. Obama gave a stunning rebuke to his own base who've engaged in a horrific blame game all week ... Contrast that with what his supporters have been up to all week. It is disgusting. Let us also not forget that the President's own Democratic advisors were hoping he would seize on this moment as a way to polarize the country against the right and the tea party movement. While many will say parts of his speech were campaign-ish, let's not forget that the President has failed miserably at every speech he has given as President. So a campaign style speech was the only way for him to deliver. And I think he did as a President must do.
David Frum, Frum Forum:
The president's challenge, as so often, was to make a human connection. In that, he succeeded tonight. He paid tribute to the individuality of the lost, honored the pain of the bereaved, and was crucial in bringing together the collective community acknowledgement of grief that is the only available comfort to those who mourn.
Peter Wehner, Contentions/Commentary:
Last night in Tucson, Barack Obama resurrected the best qualities from his 2008 campaign. On a difficult occasion, he showed grace and reminded us of the power of words to unify and uplift. More than at any other point in his presidency, Mr. Obama was president of all the people and spoke beautifully for them.
Wall Street Journal editorial:
President Obama rose to the occasion yesterday evening at the memorial ceremony for the victims of Saturday's murders in Tucson, not least because he spoke to the better angels of our democracy.
John Podhoretz, New York Post:
The sentences and paragraphs of President Obama's speech last night were beautiful and moving and powerful. But for the most part they didn't quite transcend the wildly inappropriate setting in which he delivered them.
Jonathan Tobin, Contentions/Commentary:
While the content of President Obama's speech was entirely appropriate, one has to wonder about the tone of the event. The fact that his speech was interrupted several times by cheers and applause lent what was supposed to be a memorial service the air of a campaign rally. While it was a fine speech, I can't help but question the way his audience thought it was appropriate to behave in this manner or why the president didn't ask them to calm down and stop the demonstrations.
John Pitney Jr., Corner/National Review:
President Obama gave a fine speech reminding us that there is more to life than politics, and more to politics than self-interest.
Jennifer Rubin, Right Turn/WP:
As for the president, I was immediately struck by how old and gray he looks. He did not smirk and play to the crowd as Bill Clinton surely would have done. His sober demeanor lessened the cringe-sensation when the assembled hooted and cheered. As for the president's speech, it was one of his better moments because it avoided politics.
Abe Greenwald, Contentions/Commentary:
[H]is words, and particularly his focus on nine-year-old Christina-Taylor Green's appreciation for America, were laudable and affecting. It is now only left to his base to be sane, respectful, and honest.
Paul Mirengoff, Powerline:
Tonight, in my estimation, President Obama delivered a brilliant, spellbinding, and fitting speech about the Tuscon shootings. This was the best speech I've ever heard him give.
Michael Gerson, Post Partisan/WP:
It is the temptation of a former speechwriter to judge speeches based purely on their technical merit. But this can be a mistake. History will judge if this was a great speech, but it had a good heart.

Human Rights at the Airport
WHEN CHAO YANG and his family moved to Minnesota from Laos in 1981, he found work as a janitor with an airline food catering company. In 1987, the company promoted him to assistant manager. Yang spoke both English and Lao, which made him a valuable resource for a company that employed nearly 250 Southeast Asians. But over the years he grew tired of being a company man: According to Yang, white supervisors and managers routinely harassed, verbally abused, and discriminated against Asian workers. Two weeks ago, Yang and several co-workers filed a human rights violations lawsuit.
Although Yang was terminated from the company in 1994--wrongfully, he maintains--he is nonetheless the official spokesperson for the five recent plaintiffs. During the course of his 13-year employment, the company changed hands several times. For a large chunk of the 1980s, Marriot In-Flite Food Service owned it. Marriot sold the company to Caterair International in 1991, which in turn sold it to LSG Lufthansa Services Sky Chef in 1995. But throughout the years, he says, the treatment of Asians remained consistently poor. "They would throw away our food and tell us to eat American food," he says. "They would make sexual comments to Asian females when they would bend over to lift something off the floor," he claims. And Yang maintains that his compatriots, unlike other employees, were denied training that would have helped them move up in the company.
Yang and others also claim that in 1992, the company removed the door to the men's bathroom--ostensibly, he claims, to discourage workers from taking breaks. According to a statement by another plaintiff, that left the toilet in easy view of other workers: "Many employees would have to suffer holding their waste/urine for the entire duration of the workday; male employees would urinate or defecate on themselves; and/or Asian male employees as a last desperate measure would use the toilets by placing their aprons over their heads so that they could not be seen by other employees passing by the door of the bathroom," his complaint reads.
There have also been complaints about the company's response to Asian workers' medical conditions. According to plaintiffs' attorney Jesse Gant III, Yang's wife, Nou Thao Yang, suffered a back injury in 1989 that was aggravated by the company's subsequent refusal to give her the light duty recommended by a doctor. And according to a complaint filed by Zouafong Lee, he was terminated when he missed work due to an ulcer. Lee landed in the hospital for four days in July 1992, and his son phoned the company as Lee does not speak English. Lee claims that his supervisor refused to accept his son's notice and demanded to speak to Lee himself. Despite documentation, Lee was fired; the company maintained his absence constituted a "no-show."
Yer Vang, another longtime employee, similarly maintains that the company refused to accommodate an ankle injury she sustained while on the job in 1992. Relations between Vang and the company further deteriorated this summer when, she claims, a white female employee assaulted her. According to her complaint, Vang's car was towed from the company parking lot on July 2. She was to attend a meeting with Gant and the other plaintiffs that afternoon, and Vang alleges that her supervisors had been tipped off. While she acknowledges that her car was parked illegally, she maintains that the cars surrounding hers were not similarly targeted. When she approached the woman in question for assistance, Vang alleges that the woman called her a "dog," told her she was "ugly and dirty," and locked Vang in a room. When the woman returned to find her on the phone, Vang claims the woman swung at her, kicked her on the legs, and grabbed her blouse, tearing off the buttons. Vang says she then ran from the room.
LSG public relations spokesperson Marty Heires says it isn't true: "We sent a human resources manager [to the Bloomington office] this week, and she interviewed 15 employees who were near Vang at the time she alleges the incident occurred, and all of them denied witnessing any abuse by [the alleged assailant]." (Calls by City Pages to Seyfarth, Shaw, Fairweather & Geraldson, the Chicago law firm representing the company, were not returned.) As to the remaining allegations, he declined to respond as he says the company has not yet received the complaints. He insists, however, LSG/Sky Chef will respond swiftly.

Namesake governor returns for BHS reunionPublished 2:01pm Wednesday, July 31, 2013
It's hard for Albert P. Brewer to believe that it's been 40 years since the school bearing his name opened in Florette.
"It was a great day when the school opened," he said. "We had everyone there from Sen. Sparkman to county commisioners, mayors and representatives."
The former Alabama governor, who hails from the Mt. Tabor community of Morgan County, came back home on Saturday night to help celebrate the 40th reunion of the first classes, who attended the school in 1973.
Brewer High School was formed by combining the high school grades of Cotaco, Eva, Lacey's Spring, Priceville, Ryan and Union HIll schools.
Brewer was never elected governor, but his impact was felt in the short term that he held office. After being elected to be Alabama's lieutenant governor, he became governor after Lurleen Wallace died in office.
In education, Brewer helped teachers receive pay increases of 12.9 and 8.2 percent along with increasing the education budget $100 million over two years.
After his political career ended, he maintained his law practice in Decatur before becoming a professor at Samford University's Cumberland School of Law.
"I've had several Brewer alumni come to Cumberland School of Law," Brewer said. "They are proud to say that they're from Brewer. And they were good students."
Brewer said what made BHS students different from others.
"They're just great students and great people," Brewer said.

Comfort food of the week: The Lowry's mac and cheese
The Lowry's mac and cheese
The season's first snowfall can come as a shock to us Minnesotans -- a sort of slap in the face, a reality check that those warm August nights are long gone. It's the same every year: We trade our balmy patio seats (complete with fruity cocktails) for six months of eating indoors and the inevitable icy gust we've all experienced when stuck sitting by the restaurant's entrance.
With at least five months of winter ahead of us, now's the perfect time to explore the heartiest and coziest comfort foods in the Twin Cities, guaranteed to warm the tummy and keep out the chill.

Glam Doll now selling chicken pot pie donuts
Nothing is more comforting than a bit of nostalgia, and our winning comfort food this week takes everyone's favorite childhood meal to a grown-up level. The macaroni and cheese at the Lowry in Uptown has a seamless balance of simplicity and sophistication.
While it's no Kraft quickie, the Lowry's mac and cheese isn't made into an unrecognizable production either. The Lowry knows how to spice up the staple dish while sticking to the principles that all mac and cheese should follow. Mixing melted swiss and gouda with cavatappi noodles and crumbled croutons keeps it simple, but topping this foundation with ham and tomatoes makes the dish a well-rounded meal.
Whatever your age, the Lowry's mac and cheese is this week's ultimate winter comfort food to warm you from the inside out. Grab yourself a bowl with tomato and ham for $16 or without for $13.
