TC TO JANE BAILLIE WELSH; 25 December 1822; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18221225-TC-JBW-01; CL 2:249-253.
3. Moray-street, 25th December 1822—
My dear Friend,
I got your parcel about two hours ago. I had been living for the last week in the dread of a lecture; I now think it happy that I am quit so easily. It is very true I am a kind of ineptus [stupid fellow]; and when I sit down to write letters to people that I care any thing for, I am too apt to get into a certain ebullient humour, and so to indite great quantities of nonsense, which even my own judgement condemns—when too late for being mended. The longer I live, the more cl[e]arly do I see that Corporal Nym's maxim is the great elixir of Philosophy, the quintessence of all moral doctrine. Pauca verba [few words], pauca verba1 is the only remedy we can apply to all the excesses and irregularities of the head and heart. Pauca verba, then!
You are too late by a day in asking for Faust. It is not to be got in the book-shops here, and the College-library is shut for the Christmas holidays. You shall have the volume on the 2nd or 3d of January. In the mean time, I have sent you Tell and the Bride of Messina,2 the former of which Schiller's critics have praised greatly; generally condemning the latter as written upon a false system, tho with immense care and labour. I was disappointed in Tell: it struck me as too disjointed and heterogeneous, tho there are excellent views of Swiss life in it, and Tell himself is a fine patriot-peasant. I want your criticism on it. You did well to cry so heartily over Wallenstein: I like it best of any in the series. Is it not strange that they cannot for their hearts get up a decent play in our own country? All try it, and all fail. Lord John Russel[l] has sent us down what he calls a "tragedy" the other day—and upon a subject no less dangerous than the fate of Don Carlas.3 Schiller and Alfieri yet live. The Newspapers say Lord Byron is greatly obliged to his brother lord, the latter having even surpassed "Werner" in tameness and insipidity; so that Byron is no longer author of the dullest tragedy ever printed by a Lord. This is very foul to Byron; for tho' I fear he will never write a good play, it is impossible he can ever write any thing so truly innocent as this "Don Carlos." I would have sent it to you; but it seemed superfluous. There is great regularity in the speeches, the lines have all ten syllables exactly—and precisely the same smooth ding-dong r[h]ythm from the first page to the last;4 there are also little bits of metaphors scattered up and down at convenient intervals, and very fair whig sentiments here and there: but the whole is cold, flat, stale and unprofitable,5 to a degree that "neither gods nor men nor columns can endure."6 You & I could write a better thing in two weeks, and then burn it. Yet he dedicates to Lord Holland,7 and seems to say like Correggio in the Vatican ed io anche son pittore.8 Let us be of courage! we shall not be hindmost any way.
I am really sorry to see you in such a coil about your writing. What use is there in so perplexing and overtasking yourself with what should be the ornament and solace of your life, not its chief vexation? I take blame to myself in the business; and pray you to be moderate. One thing ought to afford you some consolation: "Genius" said Sir Joshua Reynolds, and he never spoke more truly, "is nothing but the intense direction of a mind to some intellectual object—that consecration of all our powers to it, which leads to disregard all toils and obstacles in the attainment of it, and if strong enough will ultimately bring success."9 Some such thought as this was Sir Joshua's; and truly it contains nine-tenths of the whole doctrine: it should lead every one that feels this inspiration and unrest within to be proud of feeling it, and also to adopt the only means of turning it to good account—the sedulous cultivation of the faculties—by patiently amassing knowledge and studying by every method to digest it well. This, my dear pupil, is the great deficiency with you at present; this I would have you to regard as your chief object for a considerable time to come. Be diligent with your historical and other studies; and consider that every new step you make in this direction is infallibly however circuitously leading you nearer to the goal at which you are aiming. For composition, the art of expressing the thoughts and emotions you are thus daily acquiring, do not by any means neglect it; but at the same time feel no surprize at the disproportion of your wishes to your execution in regard to it. How long did it take you to learn playing on the Piano? and what execrable jingling did you make when you first tried it? But what are all the stringed instruments of the Earth in point of complicacy compared to one immortal mind? Is it strange that you should feel a difficulty in managing the rich melodies that "slumber in the chords" of your Imagination your Understanding and your Heart? Long years of patient industry, many trials, many failures must be gone thro', before you can even begin to satisfy yourself. And do not let this dishearten you—for if rightly gone about, the task is pleasant as well as necessary. I have promised that if you will but take hold of my hand, I—dim-sighted guide as I am—will lead you along pleasant paths up even to the summit. I am still confident in my predictions, still zealous to perform: my only stipulation is that we go on constantly and regularly; you shall neither stop to trifle by the way, nor run till you are out of breath—as you are now doing, and must soon cease to do in disgust and exhaustion—or else break your heart in vain striving
I partly guess what hinders you from beginning your "story": it is the excess of that noble quality in you, which I have preached against so vigorously, and still love for all my preaching—the excess of your Ambition, the too high ideas you have formed of excellence, and your vexation at not realizing them. It is safe to err on this side, so far as feeling is concerned; but wrong to let your action be so much cramped by these considerations. Cannot you do as others do? Sit down and write—something short—but write and write, tho' you could swear it was the most stupid stuff in Nature, till you fairly get to the end. A week after it is finished it will look far better than you expected. The next you write will go on more smoothly and look better still. So likewise with the third and fourth,—in regular progression,—till you will wonder how such difficulties could ever stop you for a moment. Be not too careful for a subject; take the one you feel most interest in and understand best—some description of manners or passions—some picture of a kind of life you are familiar with, and which looks lovely in your eyes: and for a commencement, why should it give you pause? Take the precept of Horace—proripe in medias res;10 rush forward and fear nothing. You really magnify the matter too much: never think of the press or public when you are writing: remember that it is only a secondary matter at present, to be taken up as a light task, and laid down again whenever it interferes with your regular studies. If you cannot think of any proper theme, cannot get in motion for whatever cause; then let the business rest for a week; cease to vex yourself about it, in time materials will come unsought. Finally, my dear Friend, possess your mind in patience, follow your laborious but noble task with peaceful diligence; study, read, accumulate ideas, and try to give them utterance in all ways; and look upon it as a cardinal truth that there is no obstacle before you which calm perseverance will not enable you to surmount.
Now, I am sure, you cannot say I have tried to flatter you on this occasion. My speech has been at once dull and honest: I have preached till we are both grown stupid, you observe; and I leave you undeceived at any rate if uninstructed. The sum of my doctrine is: Begin to write something, if you can, without delay, never minding how shallow & poor it may seem; if you cannot, drive it altogether out of your thoughts, till we meet. I entertain no fear whatever of the result: I know well you will write better than you yet dream of, and look back on these sage prescriptions of mine with an indulgent pity. Shall we not also write together when times are better? Yes we shall—in spite of your good-natured sarcasms at my "wit and genius"—and the lubberly productions I send you at present—we shall write in concert—if Fortune does not mean to vex me more than she has ever done.— This Hope is a fine creature after all! I owe her more than the whole posse of saints and angels put together.
By the Belfast town and country Almanack,11 Spring will be here in a month. Perhaps you think to steal away again without seeing me: but try it—!— To be sure, it is only the brief space of a year, since we met, for about five minutes; and we have so many hundred centuries to live on Earth together—I confess I am very unreasonable.
But why should I keep prating? The night is run, my pen is worn to the stump; and certain male and female Milliners in this street are regaling themselves with Auld Langsyne a[nd] punch and other viler liquours, and calling back my thoughts too f[ast] from those elysian flights to the vulgar prose of this poor world. May Heaven be the comf[ort] of these poor Milliners! Their noise and jollity might call forth anathemas from a cynic: my prayer for them is that they may never want a sausage or two and a goose better or worse and a drop of "blue ruin"12 to keep their Christmas with; and whatever quantities of tape and bees'-wax and diluted tea their several necessities require. Man wants but little[.]13
I will write again with Faust—briefly, I promise—and tell you all that I am doing and mean to-do. Good night! my dear Friend.
I am always, / Your's in sincerity, /
Thomas Carlyle—

Student Educational Policy Committee
Meet your BC SEPC
The Biological Chemistry Student Educational Policy Committee members are:
- Chris Kaiser-Nyman '13
- Paula Nesbeth '13
- Xingjie "Stephen" Zhang '13
The Biological Chemistry Student Educational Policy Committee members are:
At Grinnell College numerous research opportunities are available for both faculty and students in a variety of departments. This research ranges from field studies at CERA to online surveys or laboratory work. Growing federal guidelines and regulations for research necessitate increased awareness of the ethical implications and considerations when undertaking a research project.
Student majors within the program elect a Student Educational Policy Committee (SEPC) every year that assists in the faculty hiring and review process and in planning extracurricular activities, such as visiting lecturers and student colloquia.
The Teacher Advisory Committee of local educators meets biannually and reports to the state of Iowa. It enhances the Grinnell College Education Program's communication and cooperation with area schools to provide an excellent pre-service teaching education for Grinnell students, advises faculty on student teaching evaluations, and makes suggestions about enhancing Grinnell's curriculum.
The Teacher Education Committee recommends to the Executive Council, consults with the departments concerned, and assists the chair of the department of education regarding the policies, programs, and standards of admission for programs that lead to public school teaching licensure.
When the 17-year-old Turkish girl came to Grinnell in the mid-'90s, she could not have imagined that she would return to teach as a Center for International Studies (CIS) fellow among faculty members she so admired.
"It's a great privilege," said Funda Soysal '96, of her recent fellowship and teaching experience in a special topics seminar on "Confluence and Conflict: Turkey as the Cultural Crossroads of Europe and Asia."
Welcome to the History Department's new Blog page! As part of our attempt to keep the Grinnell Community informed about History-related developments, events, and achievements, the Department Web Site will now feature a Blog, to be updated at least monthly. Stay tuned for future posts, but for now enjoy the summer!
The Grinnell College Putnam team placed in the top 10% of all participating institutions for the second consecutive year. As reported by the Putnam committee:
"A total of 4440 students from 572 colleges and universities in Canada and the United States participated in the Competition. There were teams from more than 460 institutions"

A picture is worth a thousand words.
That adage in this day and age is more true than ever. The ability to communicate a thought or a feeling is much easier if there is a corresponding picture to go along with the verbal part of the equation.
Communicating the language of the racecar to other racers with enough clarity to convey what the car is doing is often difficult. Part of the problem may be that the local vernacular is different enough to hinder the communication process. While "push" and "under-steer" may mean the same thing, it is not always a universal understanding when used to describe the same vehicle dynamic. Fortunately, we live in an age where it is very reasonable to expect the current technologies to help with our communication issues.
Digital cameras, both still and video, can add a visual component to our off-track explanations of what a car is doing on the track. It also offers a unique view of how our competitors' cars are working. The opportunity to help the driver visualize just how the car looks on track can be a huge help when explaining what the car is doing at speed. Helping a driver adjust what he is doing in the car is difficult-and often impossible-while using only verbal communication and possibly some hand gestures.
The requirements for taking digital action shots of racecars are not as complex or expensive as you might think. You can purchase a digital video camera that will take both stills and video for under $100. You can also spend thousands of dollars but learn no more than you can with a camera costing $99.95. These cameras will not take magazine quality photos but they will render images that will be clear enough to look for differences and help the driver communicate to the crew what the car is doing.
There are a number of cameras that can be purchased that will take adequate action shots. Remember, this is not a tool to establish a photo library, but it would be very helpful to the chassis tuner to see what the car is doing while on track. This is especially helpful if your car builder is trying to help you get dialed in and he lives five states away. Do not limit yourself to pictures taken from trackside. The use of a low-cost video camera is something that can be mounted in the car and give the crew a driver's eye view of the car's behavior. The same video camera can also be used to watch gauges and give the crew a more insightful view of critical engine parameters that the driver may be too busy driving to mentally record.
A trip to the local Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal-Mart, or Target will open your eyes to the variety of equipment available for under $100. I have even observed crewmembers taking pictures at the track with the cameras in their phones. Granted, the photo quality was not that great, but the message was conveyed quite well.
As with any process involved with racing, the more you do a specific activity the better you get. The idea that you have a photo record of the car's attitude and action on the track to coincide with your notes will make your notes that much more powerful.
As much as I hate to admit it, the scrapbooks that are all the rage today for recording specific family events and occasions could be used to document an evening at the races. A scrapbook format with a setup sheet and corresponding photos of the car at various locations on the track, coinciding with a specific adjustment, could become a valuable tool. The addition of photos would add a completely new dynamic to the notes you should be keeping already. Stored in an electronic format this could become a very useful database.
This is not a complex addition to your tuning process and the cost is really very reasonable. For less than the cost of a dinner and a movie you could be adding a camera to your box of tuning tools. Besides you can always use a few more pictures of the car in victory circle.

When I was first exploring Christianity, one weekend I found myself smack in the middle of the wealthiest part of town. Some family members had arranged for my husband and I to spend a weekend at a resort as a special gift for our anniversary, and it provided us with a rare opportunity to relax for a couple of days.
I spent a lot of time reading my new Bible (the first I'd ever owned) next to the picture window, which revealed a breathtaking view of the lush hills of west Austin. The landscape was dotted with million-dollar houses, each of which looked like something from the cover of Architectural Digest. And every time I saw one of those houses, the Gospel message fresh in my mind, I...READ MORE

In an all English pod, the crew dismantle some of John Terry; a little of the court case and some of their own self-esteem as the FA fine and ban John Terry. The details still seem sketchy at time of recording, but in broad terms John Terry has done something wrong on the football pitch: this one didn't involve falling over.
Pod also feature Arsenal – Chelsea as the game of the week: looking at a back line of steel for Arsenal contrasted with a front-line of technicalisms and exuberance at Chelsea. Will Torres start?
The are also eight other matches this weekend and the pod take the time to look through those. But the bigger question is, which player fits into another era well? Let the podcast know:

There's a new way to take in the beauty of Princeville on Kauai's nature-soaked North Shore and see one of the nation's top golf courses at the same time. The famed Mak'ai Golf Club at The St. Regis Princeville Resort has introduced a scenic new "Sunset Golf Cart Tour", where for $40 per cart you can enjoy a 90-minute self-guided drive around the 18-hole Mak'ai Course, incorporating serene lakes, immaculate greens and fairways, and stunning ocean coastline (the 9-hole Woods Course, which reopened after renovation in 2010, is not on the tour.) The easy-going ramble is a great way for non-golfers to enjoy the beauty of the course and is a perfect spot for love-struck Kauai travelers break open the champagne and enjoy the romance.
Designed by Robert Trent Jones, the Mak'ai course (Mak'ai is native Hawaiian for "towards the ocean or sea") is situated on Kauai's spectacular north shore, set between ocean and mountains. It also reopened after renovation in 2010 and boasts an extraordinarily beautiful setting. It was named one of the "Top 5 Great Golf Settings in the U.S." by National Geographic Traveler in 2011 and is currently ranked by Golf Digest as one of "America's 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses", and by GOLF Magazine and Golfweek as one of the top 5 public courses in Hawaii.
The golf cart tour starts at 5PM daily and allows two people to explore the course at their leisure in a new 2014 Club Car Prestige electric cart, complete with GPS tracking and a video schematic of each hole. Guests follow the cart paths meandering through the 18 holes, stop and linger wherever they wish to take photos, enjoy a snack or drinks (including champagne) purchased from the Mak'ai Grill, and watch the sun set over Hanalei Bay.
Highlights include the third tee box, with views of Hanalei Bay; hole #7 (the course's signature hole) for views of The Queen's Bath tidepool, a popular swimming spot in summer; and hole #14 with views of Anini Reef and the Kilauea Lighthouse, Hawaii's northernmost point. Wildlife seen on the course include mountain pigs, Laysan Albatross, Nene geese, Brazilian Cardinals, Hawaiian Moorhen, and, seasonally, Humpback whales in the open ocean. It's not golf, but a very pretty way to enjoy the course without the need for putters and drivers in hand.
For reservations, contact the Princeville Mak'ai Golf Club at (808) 826-1863.

Now that Scotty McCreery was won American Idol, the true test of his celebrity mettle can begin. First and foremost—the morning interview circuit, starting with his appearance today on Live with Regis and Kelly, where he sat with the hosts for questions about his early life and current relationship status, before performing a stripped-down version of his first single, "I Love You This Big."
Just as his voice seems more suited to a 35-year-old country vet than a pimply 17-year-old, so does Scotty's interview demeanor, as he handled the discussion with the old-timers with the confidence of someone who's been doing this for decades already. He joked through answers about misuse of his talents from his first choir director ("She had me at tenor for the first few years…[in falsetto] I was singing up here!!") and his ill-fated soccer career ("The coach felt bad for me because all my buddies made the team, so I was kinda like the manager/assistant coach…towards the end of the season, if they didn't call me coach, they ran a lap"), and performed a pretty convincing Elvis impersonation, lip snarl and all. Most impressively, he even refrained from snapping at Regis for his less-flattering-than-he-probably-realizes comparison of McCreery to Ron Howard's Opie character from The Andy Griffith Show. (C'mon, Reg. Nobody wants to be Opie.)
Here's video of the interview and performance, courtesy of MJ's Big Blog. Oh, and Scotty's keeping to his story about Lauren Alaina, maintaining that the two are "like brother and sister" and consistently blaming the post-win kiss on Lauren being a "character." Why is that phrase starting to sound like a backhanded compliment?

Britsol Half Marathon 2006 race report
By tdw on Oct 05, 2006
In the past two years, the course has done a quick loop in Bristol City Centre before heading out along the Portway, under the Clifton Suspension Bridge. A couple of miles along Portway, the course would turn back on itself and we'd head back into the city with the final couple of miles around the centre.
This year, however, the organisers decided to change the route, so this time we started around the old docks area and headed into the city centre in a quick loop before a long run out much further along the Portway. The turn on the Portway was on an uphill stretch at about 8.5miles, and then there was the long run back towards the city, with the finish fairly close to the start in the old docks area.
I have to say that I much preferred the old route. We spent more time in the city centre, which gave supporters a better chance of spotting us. It also seemed to me to be easier, and a quick comparison of runners times between last year and this would seem to support the fact that the new course was harder.
As for my race, well I probably hadn't prepared as well as I should. Although I've been doing 20+ miles a week during the summer, not much of it was fast miles, and I think that may have compromised my race performance. My first 3 miles were on my target race pace (around 6m 50 per mile), but after that, things just went horribly and by 10 miles I really wanted to give up and walk (my pace dropped to over 8m miles at that point). I can't tell you how glad I was to get to the finish, but it was nearly the end of me. Given all of that, I still managed a very respectable 1hr 35 for the distance, and 620 place out of 9700+. Most people would be very happy with a time like that, but I know that I could have done much better, which kind of took the pleasure out of it for me. Oh, and somehow I missed the people giving out the race medals, so I don't have one of those to add to my collection this year.
Up to now, I've really enjoyed the Bristol race, but this year it just didn't do it for me, despite the great crowds of enthusiastic supporters all around the course. Given that it's also expensive for me to run - £25 entry, £40 in fuel and £100 in hotel charges, I no longer think it's worth the effort. So, I think that's my last - at least for the time being, and next year I'll give the Nottingham Half Marathon a try as it's only an hour away from home, but has a great course and great support.
One final note is that I noticed that someone from "Sun Microsystems RC" also took part in the Bristol race, and I didn't even know that we had a running club!

Started sleeping with the heavy blanket yet? Turning the fans and A/C off? Making that difficult decision to get back in the habit of starting to wear a coat to work? It's tough, we know. We rage against the dying of the light all September, but there's no getting past it—it's getting real late for summertime. However, while the temperature drops all around us, it's always sunny in the Popdust Weekend Playlist. If you don't feel like using these jams to soundtrack your BBQs and beach excursions, hey, there's still always NFL Sundays, and, uh, autumn leaf-pile-jumping parties. Life goes on.
This week we celebrated—well, celebrated might not exactly be the word for it—the 15th anniversary of Tupac Shakur's tragic shooting in September of 1996, easily one of the most cataclysmic events of the last quarter-century of pop music. However, one thing hasn't changed in the decade-and-a-half since 2Pac passed—the Underground still absolutely does not stop for hos, under any circumstances. Released back-to-back with the heart-rending, almost unprecedentedly thoughtful "Keep Ya Head Up," "I Get Around" was very much from the id section of Shakur's complex persona, full of narcissistic quips like "I don't know why your girl keeps paging me" and "Baby got a problem saying bye bye / Just another hazard of a fly guy." With a couple well-timed Zapp and Gang Starr samples, some satin-on-your-panties guest verses from two Digital Underground members, and an unforgettably rambunctious video, it's 2Pac's all-time best non-geographically-specific party jam.
Did you know that Skrillex is on the cover of SPIN this week? Yeah, "Oh my gosh" indeed. The mag is calling him something like the future of dance music—and frankly, we're not sure that we disagree. Not that "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" is a particularly revolutionary or even particularly great track, but it just sounds like the logical confluence of so many things that have been happening in dance recently, a mix of the underground dubstep stuff that has made it all the way to Britney Spears and Watch the Throne and the rock-out breaks that punctuate all those crossover David Guetta and Afrojack singles—with a healthy dose of Jersey Shore fist-pumping (or is it headbanging now?) thrown in. Sure, we're in.
A couple recent listens to "Given to Fly," as well as a viewing of the trailer for the upcoming Cameron Crowe-directed PJ documentary Pearl Jam 20, has brought up the question around the Popdust offices—is this the last song that Pearl Jam actually bothered to write? OK, not a very fair question—there have actually been plenty of decent-to-very-good Jam singles in the 13 years since, from "Light Years" to "I Am Mine" to "The Fixer," but it may hold that the last truly anthemic hit that the alt-rock overlords had, the last one big enough to be played over the trailer for their definitive group documentary, would be the soaring "Fly," which the years have been much kinder to than you might expect.
Now that Big Sean has risen to the ranks of Rappers with Full-Length Albums, J. Cole might be the most hyped MC left still yet to officially graduate to the mix circuit. However, Cole World: The Sideline Story is finally due in just a week and a half, older single "Work Out" is finally starting to gain some traction on R&B radio, and now we have new single, "Can't Get Enough." It doesn't sound quite as radio-ready as "Work Out," but it is a breezy-as-all-hell jam, with a hot Manu Chao-esque guitar lick and "yoyoyoyo" vocal hook that makes it a subtly evil little groove. It even has a little "Big Pimpin" bounce to it—appropriate, then, that the video take place on a yacht, in Hype Williams-esque widescreen.
NBA fans haven't heard a whole lot of good news this summer, as the sport's lockout persists with no end date anywhere near in sight. However, we were rewarded this Friday with the long-awaited announcement that Lakers defensive stopper and official crazy person Ron Artest had made his name change official, and would heretofore be known as Metta World Peace. The news reminds of Cat Stevens' surprisingly affecting 1971 hit, since Artest's new name leaves the door wide open for announcers like Marv Albert or Mike Breen (or especially Chris Berman, if he did hoops) to make all sorts of "Peace Train" puns when Artest makes a good play, like "Here comes the 'Peace' train!" or "Everyone jump on the 'Peace' train!" We can't wait.

Soviet War Memorial at Treptower Park
It took me about four years of living in Berlin to finally see the stunning Soviet War Memorial at Treptower Park. Many people have been telling me about it – most of them being absolutely astonished by the massive impression of the memorial and by the fact that I hadn't been there yet – and still it took another friend with an inclination to discover the city to do the trip. I live about five minutes a bike ride away from it – never bothered.
Not only is the War Memorial a crucial part Berlins history, it's also quite a landmark. Next time you wonder what to show your visiting friends and family, skip the tiresome Brandenburger Tor adventure and head over to the Treptower Park. Get some bikes and prepare a picknick on a sunny afternoon, you will not be disappointed. That in mind, I'm always surprised at how much the city has to offer. How endlessly exciting it is to visit even the so-called "sight-seeing" places. I keep thinking this blog will soon hit its last article, and yet – so much more that keeps piling up on the list of things we should probably cover at one point or another.
The Soviet War Memorial was built to commemorate 50.000 soldiers who fell in the Battle of Berlin during the war in 1945. Although it was opened already four years after the war, it was only finished in the 90s. The memorial is huge, amidst it a very graphic statue. The architecture is somehow very soothing for its elaborate space. Walking through the pathway up to the statue left me feeling like a tiny insect in comparison. What I didn't know before: the memorial also served as a military cemetery. There are more Soviet War Memorials spread throughout Berlin (there's a very distinct one in Tiergarten and I believe one in Pankow, but I'm not sure and frankly too lazy to look it up), but I'm sure this one is the most impressive.
There is one particular detail I tell everyone about when the conversation turns to the Soviet War Memorial: There is a long avenue of weeping willows climaxing to the actual memorial. Starting from the beginning one does not notice what is lying ahead, but sees two pylons flanking a platform about fifty meters away. However, curiosity arouses since this seems to be a panorama terrace. If one decides to go there and discover what can be seen there, one will be led by the avenue which is actually a ramp, a small ascent of about two or three degrees. Walking this ramp isn't actually tiresome but sensible. It takes a certain endeavour to reach the terrace and this is where the propagandistic architecture prevails over the curious visitor: It makes him feel small, subdued and insignificant. The curiosity rises until the terrace is reached, but then, the big statue on the other side of the stretched memorial emerges from the horizon. Now, the visitor knows for what target his endeavour and his being subdued was worth for.
The rest is typical socialist realistic statuary, nothing much to tell about.
Another interesting fact about pylons: They have been widely used in ancient Egypt and Greek as gate buildings leading into sacred temple complexes. In European history, pylons had seen a prevalent usage in magnificent buildings from baroque and classicistic times.
Sara, I had a pretty similar story to tell about the Soviet War Memorial. Like you it took me ages to get around to going there but it definitely made a huge impression on me. It's now on my list to show my next visitors, though I will still take them to the Brandenburger Tor. I heard that the memorial in Pankow is closed for renovations but will go there when it is open again.
but dont use your bikes there, its a cemetery, pay some respect.
I was also very impressed. Could someone tell me about the statue of a seated woman at the memorial?
What others had to say about it
[…] here are a couple of more things that I would love to recommend at random: – Visit the Soviet War Memorial by bike on a sunny day. It will take you through the gorgeous Treptower Park and have you gaze […]
[…] graffiti sprayers change turns on the hall of fame. If that seems too far out of your way, try Treptower Park or any of the beautiful sunset spots that we've recommended should […]

I know I have psychic dogs. If I just think the word medicine, my dogs scatter like an air raid siren is blaring in the living room. If I think about going to the grocery store, all ears perk up in anticipation of a possible ride in the car.
What is going on? Is this normal dog interactive behavior or some kind of mind reading tricks??
I've actually wondered if they see little picture bubbles over our heads, like in the comics.
This would certainly give more credence to the phrase 'thoughts are things'.
Does your dog disappear at bath time? Sit at the door before you put on your shoes?
Here's my psychic dog story.
Helen is our most psychic dog. All I have to do is think its time she has a bath and she'll lower her head and put her ears back. It's spooky.
Then, when I turn the bath water on, she slowly tip toes into the closet to hide. For a dog who doesn't cherish getting in the water, that part is not unusual dog behavior.
When I tell her to get in the tub, she acts like she doesn't hear me at first. I try not to laugh because I know once she gets in that tub and I scrub her back, she'll be grunting away in happiness.
Do you think about going somewhere in your car but before you even get up, put on your shoes or touch your car keys, your dog's ears perk up and he starts watching you or gets up and runs to the door? Maybe you have psychic dogs too. Here's how we tested it.
Joey takes Moo with him everywhere he goes, so we expect that anticipating, always ready, dog behavior from him. On rare occasions he'll take Helen.
Before he puts on his shoes, before he tells me, before he turns off
the television, before he touches his car keys, Helen will wiggle,
wriggle and start dancing around the living room. We were sure we were
doing or saying something that was leading her to this conclusion but
after studying our own body language and communicating by spelling out
loud, writing notes, or using our own form of sign language, we've
concluded she reads our minds. We have no other explanation for this dog
behavior, so now when it happens, I just say to my husband, "I see
you're planning on taking Helen for a ride?"
There are other instances where I'm sure it's less than having psychic dogs. If Joey and I talk about driving to the mountains, I don't see a difference in the dogs behavior, at least not until I take out a suitcase. That's the minute the dogs stop drinking water. Why? Our dogs are not sitter-friendly so it means a long kennel time for everyone. We only dare to leave them about 24 hours which feels cruel, but so does not being able to have a vacation in eight years.
Some things go by the clock like mealtime and bedtime. This is normal dog behavior to me. About thirty minutes before I make their dinner, Lily will start the dinner dance. She'll touch me with her nose, then back up and do a spin.
After two or three of these without results, she'll lie down, cross her paws for several minutes then start again.
If it's a particularly hungry day, she'll lower her front half to the floor, wag her tail and then bark at me a few times.
If I'm busy on the computer and my normal bedtime passes, Lily will get antsy and pace to let me know I'm off schedule and occasionally she'll whimper a bit. Helen has been known to take my hand in her mouth (gently) and lead me to the bedroom.
Watch your dogs behavior. Study them. Maybe you'll find their annoying habits less annoying or even kind of funny once you understand why. And by all means notice what your dog's body language is telling you about your thoughts. If you are angry or upset, your dogs are going to feel it. That creates stress for them and in order to calm themselves they might do something like get into the trash (chewing calms) or take your new shoe into the other room (yes, chewing calms).
In fact, when you are upset it not only affects the dogs, but everyone else around you too - our husbands, wives, significant others and our kids. Take a walk, exercise, listen to music or your favorite comedian. Do it before you get in a fight with a family member or your dog eats the sofa. Change those thoughts and change your life.

Most of you may not realize that this is World Breast feeding Week (Aug.1-7), a time when the World Alliance for Breast Feeding Action (a global network of organizations including The World Health Organization and Unicef as well as individuals in 175 countries) seeks to re-establish a global breastfeeding culture by emphasizing the nutritional and medicinal values associated with nursing. In fact, this year's theme "Breast Feeding: A Winning Goal for Life, " not only seeks to promote the benefits for babies, but how nursing benefits the mother's health as well. In fact, World Breast Feeding Week has been celebrated across the globe every August since 1992.
According to recent studies, breast feeding is believed to "reset changes to a woman's metabolism caused by pregnancy as her body works to support the nutritional needs of her fetus." In addition, researchers have suggested that a "failure to breastfeed may be associated with an increased incidence of pre-menopausal breast cancer, ovarian cancer, retained gestational weight gain, type 2 diabetes, myocardial infarction, and the metabolic syndrome," although additional studies are needed to validate this.
Although once the norm, the WABA points out that breastfeeding has declined worldwide in recent years, due in part to "urbanization, as well as the commercialization and marketing of infant milk formula and more and more women working outside the home. Not only is this true here in the US and Europe, but in India as well, the Breastfeeding Promotion Network of India has been working with the Indian Academy of Pediatrics has been working since 1991 to encourage more women to nurse by following international guidelines such as "breast feeding exclusively for 6 months followed by sequential addition of semi-solid and solid foods to complement (not replace) breast milk until the infant child is gradually able to eat normal family food which is around one year of age."

The final day of the 168 Film Festival continued to see a packed theater as the final 45 films were premiered, many of them nominees for the awards distributed at the 168 Film Festival Awards show that same evening.
Some filmmakers were also there to do final PR for their movies. Arthur Delgado, director of the powerful documentary MAKE, produced clever lanyards with the films poster on the front, and the 168 Film Project logo on the back. MAKE is about Stephen "Cue" Jean-Marie's work as pastor of a church on the street called "The Row" in Skid Row Los Angeles. Arthur said he was "compelled to do this story. Cue is charismatic, and the power of his work needed to be told." Cue was humbled to be a part of the whole thing. "I was just grateful that the story is being told, that we have more awareness of what's happening in Downtown Los Angeles. Lot of people know, but we want to create more awareness. Because sometimes, it's out of sight, out of mind."
MAKE won the prize for Best Documentary, which will help raise the awareness of Skid Row's church without walls even more.
Talisha Henderson, Repercussion's writer and director was there with her dad, representing in t-shirts with the film's logline and credits. "With Repercussion, I wanted to show Atonement in today's world," Talisha explained. "That a lot of times we make decisions, but we don't think about the consequences that it has on innocent people surrounding us. And so Repercussion is a film about a family who has to deal with the ultimate sin of infidelity, so that was something I wanted to share with everyone, and hopefully they can walk away knowing that sometimes you have to "'Think Twice, Act Once.'"
Producer/Director Paula Wood O'Neal and the stars of her film Heritage came dressed to the nines for the awards show. Lynda Stein, one of Heritage's actresses, and a producer in her own right, travels back and forth from her home in Orlando, Fla. to Los Angeles to continue to be a part of this festival. "A couple of years ago, I did two years of films where I produced and wrote, and I was in them. Then I took a break, and I worked on a couple of films so that I could learn. I wanted to know if what I thought about producing was right, so I worked on a couple of film sets."
Lynda decided she needed the lesser stressor of acting this time around. "Acting is stress free compared to what the producers do. So I went back and did that. But God keeps calling me back to it."
Many of the Saturday screenings were noteworthy, and won awards that evening for their artistry and expertise. Here are the top 7 screenings of the final day:
Six Days on a Raft
Director Tim Lowry documents Bill Harrison's World War II story of survival, perseverance, and leadership. Six Days is being made into a feature film starring Jordan Van Vranken.
Fathers & Sons
After the death of his father, a son comes to terms with the abuse he suffered and discovers his own transformation, as well as the one his father underwent before his death. Director Justin Machnik crafts a riveting drama with few words, but powerful images and a message that resonates.
Based on true events, a young girl is tormented at school, and in her act of desperation, shares a lesson on forgiveness. Directed by April Garwood, this docudrama was nominated for Best Screenplay.
A rite of passage story involving an African boy, an American tourist, and a goat takes hilarious turns with memorable consequences. John DeVries directed this innovative story, and Matt Raubenheimer, Daniel Morcos, John DeVries, and Howard James Fyvie won the Best Comedy screenplay award. Well deserved.
Arthur Delgado's film won for Best Documentary, and this prize was also well deserved. Stephen "Cue" Jean-Marie and the church without walls in Skid Row deserves a wider, more in-depth telling.
Fin Del Año
This quiet, lovely tale about a father's love and commitment to his family, coupled with his commitment to redeem a horse relegated to death weaved the theme of Atonement in a clever and precise way. The film was beautifully rendered, believable, and relevant.
An Iraq war veteran is haunted by a family killed during a firefight, and seeks out its only living member to find absolution and peace. Director Korstiaan Vandiver's film was up for many awards, including Best Director, Best Film, Best Actor and Best Dramatic Screenplay. The film won for Best Actor (Nate Parker), Best Supporting Actress (Saye Yabendeh), and Best Sound Design (Andrew Scott Duncan).
The 2013 Best Film big prize went to reMoved, the story of a girl's journey through extreme hardships in the foster care system. Produced by Nathanael Matanick and Christina Matanick, and directed by Nathanael Matanick, reMoved received 13 nominations, and took home awards for Editor, Makeup and Hair, along with Best Film. Stay connected to the 168 Film Project and Echolight Studio's websites to watch the progress of this film's move toward becoming a feature.

Awareness and Wisdom in Addiction Therapy : The in-Depth Systemics Treatment of Mental-somatic Models
ISBN13:by Unknown
Trade Paper
Pariyatti Publishing
In this extended essay, experts address both the recovery and the long-term goal of healing from addiction, arguing that a full cure from drug addiction or habitual addiction can be achieved. Combining both the principles of systemic therapy and experience gained through years of counseling, they have developed a unique model called "in-depth systemic" therapy, which extends the classic model by introducing and expanding on the mental dimension. The central point of this work is the thesis that addicts themselves have to reorganize and restructure their own habitual ways of perception and cognition, with Vipassana meditation serving as the instrument to realize this transformation. Vipassana comprises an ethical lifestyle, concentration of the mind through meditation, and working progressively on one's one mental-somatic models, offering a unique and successful approach to the treatment of addiction.

The accessibility, convenience and power of social media has definitely transformed politics and advocacy. Not only are there millions of users on those social channels it also includes institutions or public figures from the public and private sector. A senior researcher, Aaron Smith, spoke on July 29, 2014 for the Public Affairs Council Social Media and Advocacy Summit in Washington, D.C that analyzed the state and influence of these communication channels.
The discussion included what sort of effects has these new technology platforms brought since their arrival and growing usage. The survey conducted by the Pew Research Center (PEJ) looked at several different areas of interest. How the technology changed people's lives forever.
For example, the level of tech use in the 2000s was limited to half the country going online to conduct discrete activities. Fast forward to the present time, in 2014 tech use or going on the web is increasingly on the go, according to the PEJ.
As social media becomes mainstream usage is growing for older adults. However, the majority of users (ages 18 to 29) make up 90 percent while other users (ages 50 to 64) represent 65 percent.
What is the preferred social media website? The findings from the survey suggest Facebook is the dominant platform in comparison to LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram. On the contrary Facebook has stiff competition from Instagram and Twitter when taking into account comparable levels of user engagement. Below are the percentages:
- 63 percent Facebook
- 57 percent Instagram
- 46 percent Twitter
- 23 Pinterest
- 13 LinkedIn
Just because a user has more than one account on each of these social networking services does not mean they are from the same demographic. Each social platform tailors to different groups (income, education, race, profession etc.) Pinterest is one social network where the majority of users is women.
Politicians have seeing the monumental value and importance of having a presence online. In the United States (U.S) Democrats are supposedly more likely than Republicans to use Twitter (19 percent vs. 10 percent).
The analysis from this survey also includes that Democrats believe social media is important to their political activity. There has been no better influential Democrat President Barack Obama who practically pioneered the campaign trail in 2008 and in 2012.
As the commercial enterprise of newspapers disappeared users starting looking elsewhere to get the news. Facebook is slowly but surely become a hub for searching and sharing the news. The survey by PEJ has 16 percent of people who get the news on Facebook.
Twitter unlike Facebook is used far more since its microblogging website is the place for news breaking events. It is especially true when natural disasters take place or for protests like the ones that took place during the revolts in the Middle East.
Twitter has been able to offer something even other social networks or television can offer. It is simply the narrative or the tone of conversations vastly different from the public opinion.
Finally, social media has revolutionized many industries and transformed the world. In addition, it has one consequence that was not foreseeable and that is that opinions when politics is concerned tend to be very polarized.
To recap some of the fascinating finding from this summit you can click on the Slideshare link to get the full details on the survey.

The 2011-12 campaign hasn't exactly gone as scripted for sophomore forward Dwight Powell. An early-season ankle injury prevented Powell from comfortably settling into a rhythm. Powell's numbers dipped a bit, but Stanford continued to rack up victories thanks to one of the deepest rosters in the conference.
Fast forward to late February, and anyone who follows Stanford basketball closely can see how much Powell's play has improved over the second half of the season. Especially on the defensive end, where Powell has routinely crashed the glass (80 of his 120 rebounds have come in second half of year), altered opponents' shots (15 blocks rank third on team) and remained active on defense (third on team with 17 steals).
A matchup nightmare for opponents due to his incredible length and athleticism, Powell is averaging 5.1 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in 27 contests while making 11 starts. He's also been steady from the free throw line, making 70.9 percent and 15 of his last 17 attempts overall. A native of Toronto, Canada, Powell has scored 64.0 percent of his points in the second half of the year and continues to look more like the player who was named to last year's Pac-10 All-Freshman Team.
THE STUDENT on...
As a sophomore, you haven't declared a major yet. Any specific area of study you are considering?
"Still thinking about it. I'm exploring some options and then hoping to declare by the summer. I'm thinking about going with a Science, Technology, and Society (STS) major with possibly a focus in Management Science and Engineering (MS&E) classes, which also could lead into a MS&E major. I sort of moved away from Economics, which I wasn't as interested in as I originally thought. So I'm still feeling it out."
You're a guy who usually takes an analytical approach to learning about new ideas, concepts, etc. Someone who can contribute a well-reasoned opinion or idea to any discussion or topic.
"For sure. I've always been interested in breaking things down. Puzzles, riddles, games- I like to try and figure things out. That's what I like about STS; it gives you an opportunity to take some engineering courses and maybe even some computer science courses. So it's not too focused, but it also has components that are interesting to me."
As part of a six-member class that arrived on campus last year, it must be a real benefit for you guys to share academic experiences with each other.
"We've all taken some classes recommended by each other. Then again, we've also stayed away from certain classes or professors. We have each others' back on and off the court. Especially when we've taken classes or had professors that someone else might be currently taking. In that case, we can let them know what is expected. So then they can manage their time accordingly and put the right emphasis or effort into the appropriate field of whatever it is they are doing."

THE ATHLETE on...
It's no question that the ankle sprain from the start of the year slowed your progress. That had to be especially frustrating, considering you were coming off such a successful freshman year.
"It was really tough. It would sprain one or two times per week for the first few weeks. I would start to feel a little bit better. Then we would tape it up real tight, but during normal movements, I would experience a tweak or sprain or it would get jammed again because the ligaments were so weak. So it was tough to battle through that. But now it's really close back to 100 percent."
After watching the dunk you throw down in the clip below during your second game back, it appears you must be a quick healer. You've always possessed the athleticism that allows you to play above the rim and elevate over your defender. Twisting lay-ups, acrobatic finishes, effortless movement. No disrespect to LSJUMB, but scouts aren't requesting media credentials to watch our band.
"Especially with the injury this year, that offense has sort of taken a back seat to simpler plays, two-foot plays, etc. I jump predominantly off my left foot, and that's the one that was injured, so it's made those kind of plays more difficult. Since I'm not use to making those plays due to the injury over the last few months, I've been getting caught in between some decision-making processes on the court that sometimes lead me into bad decisions. So I've been trying to stay away from those and keep it simple as I continue through the healing process. I feel like I can now contribute more and am more confident in my physical ability. Pretty much committing to our defensive plan, relaxing a little more on offense and helping us win."
How has the transition been for you overall, making the jump to high-level Division I college basketball after your experience at IMG Academy?
"College basketball is a completely different game compared to high school/AAU summer ball- the speed, the physicality, the mental aspect, the defense. Every team in college is going to have a few guys who are their go-to scorers. They're going to have guys who know their role and come at you with their best. Every possession counts. Blowouts are rare. A lot of games come down to the last four minutes, and that means every possession on both ends matters. Every rebound matters, so physicality is at a higher level. Every free throw matters, so keeping yourself focused is important. In high school, you could go up 15 and you've won. In the Pac-12, you could go up 15 against a team and then see yourself down 15."

The Bruins and Aggies played three 30-minute periods, with both starting goalkeepers, freshman Siri Ervik for UCLA and senior Renee McDermott for Texas A&M, allowing zero goals in the first 30. UCLA's offense got going in the second period, however, as the Bruins executed off a set piece to score in the 48th minute. Sam Mewis received a Lauren Kaskie corner kick and chipped it to Megan Oyster, who fired it past McDermott for the first goal of 2014.
Seven minutes later, it was Kodi Lavrusky who doubled up the score. Taylor Smith set up the play with a nice pass to Darian Jenkins, who fed Lavrusky for the shot in front of the goal.
Texas A&M cut the lead in half at 69:04 when Allie Bailey sent a through ball into Shea Groom, who beat Arielle Schechtman from the center of the box, but the Bruins gained some breathing room at 83:53 when Mewis converted a penalty kick after Smith was taken down in the box.
Redshirt sophomore Cassie Sternbach earned the win for UCLA, going the second 30 minutes with one save. Ervik and Schechtman each recorded a save.
Making their UCLA debuts were true freshmen Ervik, Schechtman, Gabrielle Matulich, MacKenzie Cerda, Chloe Hemingway, Allie Dutto, Sam Kokoska and Reema Bzeih.
"I thought every 'keeper played well, and our back line, for the most part, played really well and snuffed out most of their attacking opportunities," said UCLA head coach Amanda Cromwell. "Like most teams, the things that need to come are the rhythm, the attacking third, reading the movement off the ball, so we have some work to do for sure."
UCLA officially opens its season on Friday, Aug. 22 vs. Maryland. The game will take place a Marshall Field at Drake Stadium and will be televised live on Pac-12 Networks at 7pm.

Writers report the news, normally a journalist is not part of the news story. This is one of the exceptions. A cautionary tale for all.
The call seemed legitimate, the caller ID showed the number 866-433-5474. A professionally delivered recorded message told me that this was my airline credit card bank calling to let me know that there was a fraud alert placed on my card. I was told that my card had a temporary hold placed in its used.
Never give out a credit card number or any personal information to an unsolicited phone call no matter how legitimate it sounds. Always call back through normal channels. A legitimate call verifies your legitimacy by verifying answers on record, not be asking you to provide information.
Then the kicker on this call, in order to be connected to customer service, the full credit card number was required. If the card was not handy, a toll-free number that was provided to be called "as soon as possible."
Luckily, I smelled something phishy. If the credit card company was calling me, they didn't need my credit card number to for verification; they would have verified from other identification information with a customer service representative using other identification information.
Trying to reach a customer service representative pressing '0,' kept returning a message, "you must enter your credit card information."
I hung up and decided to call the bank directly. Grabbing my credit card, I called the toll-free number on the reverse, and noticed it was not the same as the number on the caller ID.
The customer service representative told me that the bank was aware of this phishing expedition, but had not yet been able to halt it. They told me what we all should know, "The bank will never ask you for your card number, PIN, or other personal identification information if we call."
Be careful, and always monitor credit reports.

It outputs a list of files to rsync, along with permissions, sizes and timestamps. It even displays an rsync log at the end (sent bytes, received bytes, bytes/sec) However, the files are not sent to the target. It's as if it ran a dry-run. (but no -n option)

Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake Reaches End of Life
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS server release is nearing the end of its support life; Mark Shuttleworth, Founder of Ubuntu, and Jono Bacon, Ubuntu Community Manager, summarize what this milestone release meant to the Ubuntu project and community.
According the Ubuntu-announce mailing list announcement, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer include information or updated packages for Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) after May 31. The supported upgrade path from Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Server is via Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server.
"Ubuntu Server Edition 6.06 was the first release of Ubuntu that formally supported server workloads. Since then, Ubuntu Server has gone on to become the workhorse platform of organisations large and small, and the best way to get going with cloud computing on Amazon or Rackspace or your own private cloud," said Mark Shuttleworth, Founder of Ubuntu. "The community that helps us shape Ubuntu Server wants to bring the ease of use, clarity, precision and reliability that characterises Ubuntu to the system administrator and devops world. As the world becomes increasingly data-driven, Ubuntu Server will help people build out large-scale efficient infrastructures. I'd like to thank all of those who contributed to the maintenance of Ubuntu 6.06, as they established a track record of security and high quality updates to the platform which continues to serve us well, most recently with the release of Ubuntu Server Edition 10.04 LTS."
Jono Bacon, Ubuntu Community Manager, said, "Dapper Drake was a big milestone for Ubuntu back when it was released in 2006, and five years later we are still proud of it and how it served our users. Five years on we are more committed than ever to the widespread success and adoption of Free Software and we are excited about taking Ubuntu to more and more people around the world."

Daily Collegian staff writer Andrew Cyr spoke with men's lacrosse head coach Greg Cannella and junior attackman Grant Whiteway following Tuesday's 16-11 win over Providence, during which Whiteway tallied a career-high seven goals to lead the team to victory. Cyr highlighted Whiteway's big day with his game wrap-up below:
"To say Grant Whiteway had a good game is an understatement.
The attackman finished with a career-high seven goals and an assist as the No. 14 Massachusetts men's lacrosse team defeated Providence 16-11 on Tuesday at Garber Field.
'It feels good,' Whiteway said of his performance. 'The offense was moving good today and I was on the receiving end of a lot of stuff. My teammates were finding me when I was open and everyone was moving off ball so it made it easy.'
Whiteway entered Tuesday's game with just five goals on the season to go along with three assists. He was the Minutemen's leading returning scorer this season after finishing his 2013 campaign with 26 goals.
Whiteway received a pass from Connor Mooney in front of the cage just two minutes, 27 seconds into the game. He snuck it past Friars goalkeeper Tyler Hines, who was pulled after the first quarter, and from that point forward the Minutemen never looked back..."

North America is a dynamic migration region, with the United States home to more immigrants than any other country in the world, the Mexico-U.S. corridor the globe's top migration corridor, and Canada a leading destination for migrants. Research collected here focuses on everything from visa policy and border management to immigrant integration, national identity, the demographics of immigrants in the region and their educational and workforce outcomes, and ways to more effectively use migration policy as a lever for national and regional competitiveness.
Mexican immigration to the United States has slowed in recent years, and since the Great Recession more Mexican immigrants have returned to Mexico than have migrated to the United States. Mexicans, however, remain the largest origin group in the country, accounting for 28 percent of all immigrants. See how Mexican immigrants compare to the overall foreign- and U.S.-born populations on key indicators with this Spotlight article.
For a growing population of migrants deported from Mexico and the United States to Central America, the conditions upon return typically are worse than when they left, setting up a revolving-door cycle of migration, deportation, and remigration. This report provides a detailed profile of reception and reintegration services offered in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to deported migrants, examining their challenges and opportunities for improvement.
MPI has compiled in one easy-to-access location its key research and data resources on issues, policies, enforcement programs, and more that relate to the immigration reform debate underway in Washington.
This Spotlight examines the educational attainment of the five largest immigrant groups in the United States, including those from Mexico, the Philippines, India, China (excluding Hong Kong and Taiwan), and Vietnam. According to the results of Census 2000, 62 percent of all foreign born in the United States have at least a high school education. Other measures of educational attainment, such as college or graduate degrees, vary widely by country of origin. The data presented in this Spotlight were derived from the U.S. Census 2000 1 Percent Public Use Micro-Sample (PUMS) file.
Many news reports and commentators in the United States link immigration, especially when unauthorized, to negative economic effects, cultural fragmentation, and issues of national security. As a result of these perceived negative consequences, resistance to immigration, especially unauthorized immigration, appears to have increased. Others stress the benefits to this country of continuing immigration.
