text: Mar 14, 2014 20:04 Facets of Faith for Nov. 24, 2012 Facets of Faith for Nov. 24, 2012 Photo provided by CMA Media PromotionBrandon Heath will be one of a handful of perrfomers with TobyMac in Baton Rouge on Friday, Nov. 30. LEILA PITCHFORD-ENGLISH| Advocate news graphics Comments Just as with headliner TobyMac (see the related story on this page), Brandon Heath is riding some recent success. The release of his most recent album, "Blue Mountain," coincided with his Grand Ole Opry debut. Heath said, "It was one of those days that will definitely go down in history for me. "Growing up in Nashville, it's (the Opry) one of those things. We revere the Grand Ole Opry, so it was special for me to be on that stage," Heath said. That excitement carries to the Hits Deep Tour. Heath said, "I LOVE Toby. I am such a fan of his. We're friends, too. I think this is my fourth tour with him. He's such a great role model, but also a great friend." Heath was excited the day of the interview because the members of the tour were gathering a few days later at TobyMac's house. In response, TobyMac said, "Brandon is big on communicating and fellowshipping and hanging out and trying to learn from each other." And it was that spirit that led TobyMac and his wife to feed about 30 members of the tour for a chance to talk "about the tour and what we were hoping for, the heart behind it," TobyMac said. Heath said, "This Toby tour ... is going to be more fun than anything else. I'm only doing three songs during the night, but I get to use Toby's band, so it's going to be fun." Friday night will be Brandon Heath's second performance in Baton Rouge. "I really love it down there," Heath said. "I love Louisiana in general. It feels like home, good and Southern." However one memory of Baton Rouge may not seem traditional Southern, "My favorite place to eat in Baton Rouge is Tsunami's," he said. "I took a ride by the university the last time I was there. We went to the tiger den. We got to see the live tiger, that was cool." And Tiger Stadium "is amazing." Heath has been touring for his "Blue Mountain" album. "The whole thought behind 'Blue Mountain' comes from a C.S. Lewis quote that says some people are like blue mountains: Blue and majestic in the distance, but if you were to get up close to them, you would see that they are brown and green like everybody else is." This led him to record in Asheville, N.C., in the mountains and to bring in his love of Americana and country music. "I think a lot of that is really working these days with Mumford & Sons and other bands," Heath said. He also "really wanted to bring in a little bit of folklore," which shows up as small-town characters in the songs. "And I think the mountains are such a cool, mysterious place. It was the right place for a lot of story songs," Heath said. "This is a storyteller's record." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

The Los Alamos M'atom Bombs kept the Duke City Derby Juggernaughties in line during a hard-fought derby matchup Saturday night.
But in the end, Albuquerque's Juggernaughties skated away with the win in two-hour bruisefest 282-130 at the Los Alamos Ice Rink.
Juggernaughty Bethany "BeeBop" Day and the other Jugernaughties' jammers managed to bust through the M'atoms defensive line and pass the pack more times than the M'atoms did with the Juggernaughties' defense.
However, M'atom jammers Amanda "Super-ova" Storey, Rachel "Latzah Ballz" Adler, Marcie "Vexy" Archuleta and others really brought it on in the second half, making it an exciting game for all who came out to cheer on their hometown roller derby team.
After the game, most valuable player awards went to M'atom Bomber Anne "Ferociraptor" Berros for best blocker, and M'atom Bomber Rachel "Latzah Ballz" Adler for best jammer. For the Juggernaughties, best blocker went to Lucy "Hermione Strangler" Fox and best jammer went to Bethany "BeeBop" Day.

Six percent of American adults who are online say they've visited Reddit, which encourages its online community to submit links to stories, photos and other Web postings, then vote them up or down, according to survey results released Wednesday.
The report by the Pew Center's Internet and American Life project, Pew's first study of Reddit as a stand-alone platform, found that the site is most popular among younger men, with more than 18 percent of male respondents saying they've visited the site, compared with 5 percent of female respondents of the same age. The gender divide holds throughout all age groups, though the number of people who say they visit the site drops significantly in older age groups, the study said.
As the site, founded in 2005 by University of Virginia classmates Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman, and sold to Conde Nast in 2006, has evolved, so have its uses. And it should be no surprise that Reddit's foray into social networking would follow in the footsteps of its bigger competitors — Facebook and Twitter — to also become a forum for political action and for tapping into the flow of wider online discussion.
Politicians and activists have used it to gin up grass-roots support. In 2012, the site welcomed President Barack Obama to participate in an open question-and-answer session, which the community calls "Ask Me Anything." In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing, Reddit users submitted their hypotheses about the bombers after combing through images and footage of the marathon, a move that drew some criticism. When some news outlets reported the user hypotheses as if they were genuine law enforcement tips, Reddit general manager Erik Martin publicly apologized for the role the site played in what he called "online witch hunts and dangerous speculation."
According to Reddit, the site's viewership has soared in the past year, doubling its page views since 2012. In a company blog post in June, Reddit said it had logged 71 million unique visitors in May and was on track to hit 5 billion monthly page views later this year. In 2012, the site reported about 2 billion page views and 34 million unique views in a month.
The survey statistics from Pew put Reddit about on par with the blogging platform Tumblr, the research firm said.
"Sites like Reddit are part of a larger digital ecosystem that is changing the process of news and information discovery," report co-author Maeve Duggan said in a statement. "Like all social media, it allows more direct citizen engagement in shaping the information ecology and produces cultural touchstones outside the bounds of mainstream media."
The Pew study included 2,252 U.S. adults called on landlines and cellphones between April 17 and May 19. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish.

ADAM10 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 10) is involved in the ectodomain shedding of various substrates, including adhesion molecules such as L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1-CAM) and CD44, which are known to have important roles in the development of malignant melanoma. In our study, we characterized the expression of ADAM10 in melanoma cells in vitro and in vivo. Immunohistochemical analysis on tissue microarrays indicated that ADAM10 expression was significantly elevated in melanoma metastasis compared with primary melanomas. In vitro downregulation of ADAM10 with specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) resulted in a suppression of the anchorage-independent cell growth and reduced the migration of melanoma cells. In addition, overexpression of ADAM10 induced the migration of melanoma cells. In cell lines from melanoma patients with metastasis, ADAM10 was significantly overexpressed, and ADAM10 expression correlated with increased cell proliferation. Furthermore, we present evidence that ADAM10 is involved in the release of L1-CAM from melanoma cells. It is important that knockdown of cellular L1-CAM reduced the migration of melanoma cells and abrogated the chemoresistance against cisplatin. In contrast, soluble L1-CAM had no effect on melanoma cell migration or cell survival. Taken together, our data demonstrate that ADAM10 and L1-CAM have important roles during melanoma progression and both molecules represent attractive targets for therapeutical intervention of melanomas.Journal of Investigative Dermatology advance online publication, 29 October 2009; doi:10.1038/jid.2009.335.

Watch out! Here comes the Tooter! Toot! Toot!
Wednesday, April 03, 2013
I wasn't sure what to blog about, but since I haven't written in so long, I thought I'd start with the positive.
I started a 10-week quest for health and fitness on 3/21. I picked that date because it was 10 weeks until we fly off for vacation to the Land of Enchantment (New Mexico for those not in the know). I'm planning to hike the highest peak while there with one of my high school friends, and this 16-mile hike at an altitude of 9,500-13,167 feet will be formidable. So preparation is required. I need two things for this hike:
1. Better level of fitness
2. Less weight to carry
My simple plan is to work out more and eat less. Heard of that one? I'll get my heart ready for action, build a bunch of beautiful muscles, and eat so the fat just melts off me. And before I get all blah-blah-negative-grumpy-blah about how I never stick to my plans, let me do some positive self-talk…
The first week I worked out everyday. *TOOT*
(I ate like crap)
The second week I worked out even harder. *TOOT*
And on April Fools I got to work full force with the help from my Anti-Blah girls and the Sand In Your Crack challenge. It'll lead me straight up to Memorial Day weekend. I've outlined the things I track each day and I've had 3 successful days so far. Here are some more horn toots about my eating the last few days…
I have found Easter chocolate around the house and rather than eat it, I put it away. *TOOT*
I went out to eat Mexican with the kids and didn't even eat a single chip while waiting on our food. *TOOT*
I had to provide a dessert for my son's soccer team Monday, which I would normally bake myself because I'm a great baker and cheap. Instead I bought store-made cupcakes so I wouldn't have batter and frosting to deal with. *TOOT*
As part of my tracking for the SIYC challenge, I am putting a little star down for each time I turn away from a temptation. When my brain would normally rationalize something so it could make its way into my mouth, I'm saying, "NO! That isn't allowed and I will not be fooled by you, sneaky brain." I put my star on the tracking page and give myself credit for strengthening my resistance muscle. I've been strengthening that giving-in muscle for WAY too long. It's time to stand up for myself and my real goals.

I'm so proud of you for not just doing it, but for being willing to TOOT your own horn about your successes, because in all honesty, what gets ME motivated is hearing other people be successful...and it's all about me, right?? ;-) hahahaha
You are showing yet again why you are the Captain of our little boat, girlie! Love ya to pieces for it too! Let's kick some booty...and I expect to hear you screaming from the top of that mountain all the way over in California...ya hear me???

Toot away girl! You are doing great. I love the idea of giving yourself a star/sticker for each time you resist temptation. I may have to borrow that! I'm a visual person and I think that might really help me. Continue pushing like you have. I know you can do it!

For some reason I am successful in adding new directories to my
$PATH but when I run the commands in the terminal the
$PATH doesn't summon them.
I modified the
$PATH in the
~/.bashrc file, and added the last directory
# Set the default system $PATH:
But when I run the command it says
command not found. However when I type the full path of the utility I'm able to run it.
Has anyone experienced this problem before? Do you know what I can do to fix this problem?

Srategic Investment in Distressed Communities
Those of you with an interest in community development, please take a few minutes and click over to see what John Kromer is putting together this spring.
Mr. Kromer is a Fels Senior Consultant, former director of Philadephia's Office of Housing and Community Development, and author of two excellent books, Fixing Broken Cities, and Neighborhood Recovery. Nobody knows more about restoring distressed cities to health.
This work is still as much art as science, however, and the efforts of cities and CDCs over the past decades have raised plenty of questions to which we have no satisfactory answers. Mr. Kromer's latest project is an effort to draw lessons from the experience of Eastern North Philadephia, an area that has been on the receiving end of consistent, smart redevelopment efforts from Asociación de Puertorriqueños en Marcha -- a leading Philadelphia CDC. What, Mr. Kromer is asking, is the return on this investment? What has been the multiplier effect of providing human services, of repairing the housing stock, of clearing vacant land? Which interventions work and -- crucially -- which do not
Data from this project will be posted to the project site over the next several months, along with a series of discussions with other leading authorities on community redevelopment. We will keep you posted as this develops.Related News:

Watch Photos and Video from the "Terminator on Trial: Suicide Seed Technology, Implications for Global Food Security and Farmers' Rights" Ottawa, March 20, 2006
THE CRIME: The Canadian Government is attempting to lift the de facto global moratorium on Terminator technology.
THE JUDGE: Gerry Barr, CEO, Canadian Council for International Cooperation
THE HOST: Bob Carty, CBC journalist and documentary producer
THE KEY WITNESSES: Vandana Shiva (scientist from India), Percy Schmeiser (Canadian farmer who took on Monsanto), Colleen Ross (National Farmers Union)
THE JURY: You!
Background on the Canadian Government promotion of Terminator:
At a UN meeting in January 2006 the Canadian Government supported the successful move by Australia to insert language that Terminator should be researched and studied on a "case-by-case" basis. This would have led to field trials of Terminator and an end to the existing de facto international moratorium. But at the major UN Convention on Biological Diversity meeting COP8 in Brazil in March 2006, the Government of Canada was forced to back down from this position. The government did not defend this position and the moratorium was upheld and even slightly strengthened.
In February 2005, Canadian government officials (delegates) to a UN meeting tried to introduce new language to "allow for the evaluation" of Terminator for field testing and commercial use. This would have overturned the recommendation NOT to approve Terminator (also called GURTs- Genetic Use Restriction Technology). Click here to read the evidence in a LEAKED DOCUMENT which is instructions to Canadian delegates to the 2005 UN meeting. This was a shockingly bold move to push Terminator. The government was not successful because other governments across the world are working hard to uphold the international moratorium.

When you save the document, it puts the contents into the text box. You can configure a "hot-key" to start editing or simply do a right mouse click.

 On OSX, you have to use the "open" command in-order to run Aqua apps using this plugin. This is configured in the Tools->Extensions->Preferences.
 /usr/bin/open /Applications/TextEdit.app %t

 Newer versions of Firefox include an inline spell checker. I have tested it on 1.5 on OSX and 2.0beta on Solaris. https://blogs.oracle.com/glennf/entry/photo_sharing_made_easy Photo sharing made easy glennf 2005-04-08T15:50:27+00:00 2006-08-18T23:23:54+00:00 The search is over... For sometime now, I have been looking for a way to easily share a large amount of photo's with a large group of people. My personal website restricts me to 50MB which doesn't cut it. Finally, after being tasked with taking pictures at my son's swim meet, I got serious and found a good solution from smugmug.

 Smugmug allows me to create and organize galleries and doesn't limit my disk space! People can download FULL resolution pictures without charge or order prints from Smugmug. There is even an application which allows me to upload directly from iPhoto. The person service cost me just $30 a year.

 My site is http://fawcett.smugmug.com

You would think that all of this is pretty simple with OSX but this is not necessarily the case. Most of this information was from a website that I ran across. I will summarize the steps I took to finally get this working:

Dowload the latest GIMP drivers. I just bought a EPSON R300 Photo printer and the 4.2.7 GIMP drivers have support for this printer.

Open System Preferences -> Print/Fax -> Setup Printers

NOW the critical piece... click the +Add Printer while holding down the (alt/option) key. This will unlock an "advanced" option

The "Device" pull down under the advanced option, will reveal a "Windows Printing via SAMBA" option.

Recently I was looking for a way to show someone at a remote site some errors in a java applet. I had used VNC previously on Windows wanted the same on OSX. While the OSX server and viewer are not produced by ATT, the SW has a public license... I found the OSX Server and Viewer pretty easily.
 Enjoy,

I'll head over to AMazon after I finish commenting and put one in my shopping cart.

And congrats also on a Mom's graduation: first day of kindergarten. I didn't cry when my kids went off to their first day of kindergarten, but I was awash when they went to college. I guess I should have gotten it out of my system a lot earlier!

Your girls look cute, and hope you enjoy that pre-school break.

GE makes a lot of different models of each appliance (just look at any website selling washers/driers or refrigerators). Models of the same type may have subtle differences in model number, e.g. two similar refrigerators GSF25JGCWW vs GSH25JSDSS have nonetheless different prefixes and suffixes.
So, to decode:
25 is volume
WW (white) or SS (stainless steel) is color
what is GSF/GSH?
JG vs JS?
There must be an cipher there. Please help us decrypt it, as without understanding what letters mean it's very difficult to compare models (I feel like I'm buying a mattress, not a fridge)

When do you start self soothing for a LO?
~~ Momma to Bugsy 6/14/11, and Rosie Lo 7/23/13
Lay off.
Supermom- BIG. little.
"Please, Jenna can't hear us, she's blind."-- Hanna Marin
If my son was ever hungry, I don't believe that his crying would have subsided after 5 minutes.
If my son was ever hungry, I don't believe that his crying would have subsided after 5 minutes.
Not until much older. It's not recommended you start sleep training until 6 months. I could never let my child sit there and cry. She was well past a year when I did do very minimal CIO, mostly when she was so tired she couldn't help but cry for 30 seconds before passing out. Extinction CIO is just cruel to me, and infants should never be put on a schedule for eating.
I think scheduling has little effect on how well an infant does at STTN. Mine was STTN by 3 months without a schedule. I believe it's just her personality.
I threw my pie for you
I don't intend to let my baby self soothe. In the first six weeks, when I'm on maternity leave, I plan to give my breast when my baby fusses, and to hold him and comfort him as much as he needs. I just don't believe that there's any benefit to letting a baby cry, the whole point of crying is communication. Your baby cries when he needs something, not because he likes to hear his own voice. I understand that when they get a little older, 3-4 months it might be beneficial to not run to them the second they fuss, but I don't believe in letting a baby cry for longer than 5-10 minutes tops.
We fed and attended to baby on demand for the first 8 weeks, then started light sleep training (as in, if he wasn't hungry, we let him fuss for a few minutes--but not actually cry--before we went to him). Within 2 weeks of that, he was sleeping 12 hours straight through at night! (And no, he wasn't starving. He gained weight like crazy, and ate plenty during the day. In fact, when we offered food during the night after 8 weeks, he'd take two sucks and reject it. He just wasn't hungry at night!) I learned everything I did with DS for sleep training from the Teaching Your Baby & Toddler to Sleep board. Read the sticky, study the wake times, and take cues from your baby.

Since opening its doors last week, Colorado's legal marijuana trade has been operating with a distinct similarity to that of the Black Market; in which buying weed is still very much a cash only business. This is because most financial intuitions have simply refused to allow marijuana enthusiasts to finance their quest for a buzz using the convenience of credit cards.
However, a recent report in the Wall Street Journal indicates that many of Colorado's weed slingers have bypassed the bureaucratic fine print of Visa and MasterCard's anti-weed regulations and are now swiping plastic for pot sales -- mostly because these financial institutions have not given pot retailers any reason to believe they are actually concerned about the issue.
In fact, a statement issued by Visa in regards to this matter suggests that while the company does comply with federal law and works diligently to prohibit illegal activity from taking place on its processing networks, "our local merchant acquirers are best suited to make any determination about potential illegality." That means if a pot shop owner considers it a legal transaction, the credit card company has no immediate reason to enter into a dispute.
Banking experts say that most credit card companies will not likely enforce policies that pertain to the legalized marijuana trade, not as long as the federal government continues to respect state laws and not make a prosecutor's wet dream out of the situation -- which is also not likely.
The same experts say that the Justice Department is currently in the process of extending an olive branch to the banking industry by drafting legal guidelines to assist them in working with members of the newly legalized marijuana trade.
However, until those rules are spelled out, some credit card companies, like American Express, are taking their policies on marijuana dealings very seriously -- blocking transactions from businesses associated with marijuana sales. "We monitor websites to help make sure that the policy is being enforced," said an AmEx representative.
Nevertheless, like stoners, the cannaprenuer will always find a way. Some retail pot shops are reportedly sneaking passed the snarling watchdogs of the credit card companies by giving their products clandestine names in the system. Others are using a little clever ingenuity to log transactions as harmless withdrawals from an ATM using a Point of Banking system, which allows consumers to buy weed using debit cards.
"It's like when salmon can't swim in one direction, they'll figure out another way to go up the river," says Chris Mills, who assists dispensaries in setting up POB systems through his company, GreenHouse Payment Solutions.
Ultimately, recreational marijuana sales could end up being big business for the credit card companies. Many reports speculate that Colorado generated $1 million in marijuana sales on New Year's Day alone.

The Leafs' Fenwick and Their Historical Playoff Odds
Shawn Reis
November 25 2014 02:30PM
The Leafs currently sit 23rd in the league with a 47.78% Fenwick and seem to have settled into the 47% range as a season average over the last few games. It's an improvement on the last couple of seasons and certainly makes their chances of getting into the playoffs better. But by how much?

When model and photographer work together on a nude photo shoot, a special relationship develops. The model, free of her clothes, seems to reveal more than just her body to the photographer.
It's a relationship that fascinates viewers, often as much as the images themselves.
In this book, each set of images is accompanied by the real life story of each shoot.
The aim is to reveal what it was like to be there on location and explain how the chemistry between model and photographer sparked the creation of the final images.
A portrait photographer based in Sydney, Australia, my photography is all about capturing the essence of beauty. I prefer to shoot on beaches at dawn and sunset because I like the soft light and the way the feeling of sand on toes generates a relaxed and happy atmosphere. One day, I'd like my grand children or great grand children to look at the images I create and say 'wow! that's cool'.

The South Indian Adivasi Experience in the Nagar Hole National Park and the Muthanga Wild Life Sanctuary Speech at the Vth World Parks Congress, Durban September 2003
The theme of the Vth World Parks Congress "Benefits Beyond Boundaries" suggests that the Congress will focus on addressing people's needs and providing a stream of economic, political and environmental benefits to societies worldwide.
We, the adivasis, the original inhabitants of most of the areas that now come under the Parks and the Protected Areas, appreciate the concern shown by the Congress towards the 'needs of the people'. At the same time, however, we have our doubts and apprehensions.
First of all, who are the people whose needs are to be addressed? Does it include us, the adivasis, the indigenous people? Or, in the name of extending benefits to the 'people', will the big multinational or national corporates and donor agencies such as the World Bank be allowed more footholds in the forests? The doubt is valid because hitherto in the management of Protected Areas and Parks and for that matter any forest in my country, Governments had only sought to wipe us out completely or push us out of our habitats.
Despite several international conventions and even the Indian Forest Policy of 1988 recognizing the role of the indigenous people in conservation and sustenance of forests, the governments have been practising a policy of "Nature without People." Eviction and displacement had been the reality faced by the forest people of India all through the colonial history. Even after the country gaining Independence, the threat of eviction loomed large following the promulgation of the Wild Life Protection Act, 1972 and Forest Conservation Act, 1980. It has become all -pervasive and palpable now following an order of the Ministry of Environment and Forests in May 2002. As many as 10 million indigenous people in India now face the threat of eviction. In the state of Assam, more than 100,000 people have already been evicted in just three months between April 2002 and July 2002. This has been the case in the Nagarhole National Park in the State of Karnataka and again, more recently, in the Muthanga Wild Life Sanctuary in my own state of Kerala. My presentation here will dwell mostly on my experience of the indigenous peoples' struggles in the Protected Areas of Nagarhole and Muthanga in South India.
Throughout history, the indigenous people had fought for their rights. This is to say that we are demanding much more than 'benefits.' We are demanding RIGHTS over forests.
And we are also demanding that there is an urgent need to redraw the 'boundaries', if at all drawing boundaries protect nature.
The talk about extending 'benefits' is in fact a cover-up for several DENIALS, several costs borne by the people. Firstly the indigenous people have been robbed of their traditional/customary rights to land and territories. Secondly, they have been robbed of their historical role in conservation of nature. These two fundamental denials have by now turned the indigenous peoples in most part of India into victims rather than beneficiaries of the Protected Area management system and, the forest management system, in general.
The Struggle in the Nagar Hole (Rajiv Gandhi) National Park
In the case of the Nagarhole National Park in the State of Karnataka, there was indeed much talk about the 'benefits'. And the promises were made out by none other than the World Bank.
The Nagar Hole national park is now a part of the Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve -- one of the 440 biosphere reserves in 97 countries where the UNESCO is implementing the Man and Biosphere program. Nilgiris was the first internationally designated biosphere reserve in India. Several ethnic groups had inhabited the area from time immemorial. They included the Cholanaikans, the only surviving hunter-gatherers of the Indian subcontinent, concentrated in the Nilambur area. In 2000 there were 11,60,200 permanent inhabitants within the biosphere reserve subsisting on the use of natural resources such as medicinal plants, agriculture and agri-horticulture.
An area of 57,155 ha in Nagar Hole had been constituted as a sanctuary in 1955. The Government of Karnataka declared Nagar Hole (which meant, Snake River, in the local language) as a game sanctuary in 1972. Subsequently the area under the sanctuary was further increased to 64,339 ha. The Nagar Hole National Park was constituted in 1983.
Over 9,000 indigenous people were residing in 58 hamlets inside what the government called the National Park. There were Jenu Kurubas, the honey-gatherers; the Hakki Pikki (bird-trappers), the Betta Kurubas who specialised in making bamboo baskets and utensils; the Yeravas who survived on fishing and the Soligas who had diversified into agriculture and herding goats. Apart from those who lived within the forests, there were more than 23,000 adivasis residing within 5 km distance, all depending on the Nagar Hole forests for their survival.
Under the UN scheme for the Biosphere Reserve, the forests, the animals, the birds, the agriculture and the human being ought to have been protected for their uniqueness. But the government agencies continued to violate this norm for lucrative business interests. The natural forests were extensively logged and substituted with plantations of teak, eucalyptus and rosewood. Nearly 15 per cent of the area within the National Park is now under plantations.
Evictions: Governments have been systematically pushing out the adivasis to the forest fringes. In 1970s, a total of 1220 families consisting of more than 6000 people were pushed out to locations 1-12 km from their original habitats. In more than 40 hamlets within the Park, adivasi lands were taken over for teak and eucalyptus plantations. People in 20 hamlets were ousted to make way for the Kabini River valley project and the Taraka dam. Those who were evicted and 'rehabilitated' did not get anything other than makeshift tents or huts to live in. They became 'coolies', menial servants, or virtual bonded labourers in estates.
Severe restrictions were placed on indigenous people who continued to live within the forests. They were seen and labelled as encroachers. Trenches were dug in their fields and paths. No cultivation of any kind was allowed. This was so, despite the fact that the adivasi method of cultivation did not clear any trees, now ploughing or sowing was done, no chemical fertilisers or pesticides used. Hunting, even ritual hunting, was banned No livestock or dogs were allowed. No wells could be dug. The houses could not be renovated. A total ban on collection of minor forest produce such as tubers, mushrooms and wild vegetables was imposed. Adivasis were not allowed entry to the sacred sites and burial grounds within the forests. The government even sought to put a ban on traditional music and dance forms. The adivasis were constantly harassed. Several adivasi women were molested. Many were put behind bars on fake charges of forest offences.
The indigenous people had to suffer all this while several non-adivasi encroachers were allowed to remain within the forests and cultivate nearly 660 ha of forestlands on payment of yearly taxes. Many among them managed to get title deeds for nearly 100 ha of forestland.
Eco-tourism and the World Bank's Eco-development project
The worst of such preference shown to the non-adivasis and the rich pleasure-seeking people at the cost of the indigenous people came about when the Government in 1994 entered into a lease agreement with Taj Group of hotels and a little later when the World Bank supported eco-development project was proposed to be started in Nagarhole. The lease agreement with the Taj group, one of the riches business groups in India, was to lease 10 ha of forestland at Murkal in Nagarhole to build and operate a three-star tourist resort. The agreement was in total violation of the Forest Conservation Act and the Wild Life Protection Act. The agreement was also a contradiction of all tall claims of protecting the ecological balance and the biodiversity in the National Park.
Similarly, the eco-development project negated the World Bank's own norms of "not carrying out any involuntary resettlement of people," not eroding the "customary tenure rights over land and other assets of tribals living in the Protected Areas" ensuring "prior informed consent and participation" and "compensating the people relocated". Nevertheless, with the Rs. 295-crore (1 crore is 10 million) eco-development project promising a huge bounty, the Government intensified the pressure to evict the remaining Indigenous People from the Nagarhole forests. The project intended to wean away the adivasis from the forests by nominally "training" them in subsistence occupations such as pig rearing. This enterprise will be shown to be viable by pumping in massive subsidies. With this the indigenous people could be resettled outside the forests. The World Bank would have its hands clean. The plan of the Taj group was also interesting. Once the IPs are thrown out, the forests would be opened up to visitors interested in biodiversity research a euphemism for bio-prospecting.
But organised resistance from the adivasis with the support gained from various quarters made these plans difficult. When the adivasis blocked the construction of the "jungle Lodge", the authorities arrested them, men women and children. The adivasis launched an "enter the forest campaign" on the Independence Day of 1995 and declared Self-Rule as their goal. After several waves of protests, the number of arrested people rose to 200.The campaign continued through the years. The adivasis called for a general strike in Nagarhole on December 29, 1996 and it turned out to be a total success. All the six roads leading to the Park was blocked. Subsequently, a writ petition was moved in the High Court of Karnataka by Nagarhole Budhakkattu Hakku Sthapana Samithi (Nagarhole Adivasi Rights Restoration Forum) and others. On 20 January 1997, the High Court ruled that the assignment of forestland to the Taj Group was in gross violation of several national laws for conservation of nature and wild life.
Subsequently, the World Bank officials were stopped during their visit to Nagarhole and told in no uncertain terms that with the indigenous people declaring Self-Rule in the area, the imposed eco-development project would be doomed. Soon the World Bank withdrew from implementing the Eco-development Project in Nagarhole.
An important fall-out of the Nagarhole struggle was that the indigenous people took over the leadership. The adivasis donned the mantle with confidence and élan. And more importantly, they evolved their own plan for the regeneration of the forests, based on the deep wealth of indigenous knowledge of the forests.
The struggle for Self-Rule in Muthanga Wild Life Sanctuary, Kerala
The indigenous communities pre-existed the State. The rights to manage their own affairs, to appropriate forest resources and to redress disputes had all along been the customary rights of the indigenous people in India. In the past, kings did not dare to interfere with the adivasi communities, nor could the British colonialists conquer them fully. However, these rights suffered severe erosion when the colonial rulers went on turning the natural forests into "reserved forests". Post-Independence Governments in several States including Karnataka and Kerala have only aped this practice, despite the Indian Constitution under Article 244 providing for bringing indigenous peoples' villages under Schedule V areas ruled by Self-Governing institutions. Hence, to this day, Self-Rule has remained the abiding goal and demand of indigenous people all over the country. As in Nagarhole in the 90s, the struggle in the Muthanga Wild Life Sanctuary in Wayanad last year was motivated by the goal of Self-Rule.
Officially, the Muthanga forest forms a part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve and is a designated Elephant Reserve. Until two decades ago, Muthanga was a forestland with rich biodiversity. More than 3,000 diverse species had made this area qualify for protection. However, disregarding the importance of the biosphere, 77 sq. km of the Muthanga Range was opened up for commercial plantations for feeding a single pulp factory of the Birlas, an Indian multinational business group. Soon there would be no natural forests left in nearly 40 per cent of the forest range. More than 3,500 ha of forestland became completely barren. The water stream that separated the Bandipur Reserve of Karnataka and the Mudumalai Reserve of Tamil Nadu from the Muthanga Range in Kerala locally called Mamana halla -- completely dried up as a result of the spread of eucalyptus plantations. The river is now nothing but a stretch of white sand. The marks of elephants trying to dig holes in the sand in search of water are evident in the dried up riverbed. Elephants frantically searching for water and crossing the Muthanga Range to reach the Noolpuzha River located east of Muthanga is what makes the Wild Life Sanctuary qualify as an Elephant Reserve and an elephant corridor. The plight of the elephants in the Wayanad Wild Life Sanctuary presents the other side of the saga of the disrupted lives in indigenous people in Muthanga as well as the whole State.
Following a series of starvation deaths, the adivasis in Kerala had launched a struggle in August 2001 by setting up 'Refugee Camps' in front of the State Chief Minister's residence. The struggle continued for 48 days forcing the Govt. of Kerala to promise disbursement of land and other rehabilitation measures for the adivasi people in the state. However, as the government did not keep its word even after a year, we were again forced to take to the path of struggle. And, as in Nagarhole, the indigenous people of Kerala decided to "Enter the Forests," our homeland, under the banner of the Adivasi Gothra Maha Sabha (AGMS). The Muthanga forest where we put up huts was the homeland of different adivasi communities in Wayanad such as the Paniyas, the Vetta Kurumas, the Kattunaikkas, the Adiyas and the Mullukuruma etc. Our sacred groves and burial grounds still exist in Muthanga. Several adivasi families had been forcibly evicted from Muthanga during 1970s and '80s, first while declaring the area as a sanctuary and then for establishing the eucalyptus plantations. Those who were evicted were compelled to live a wretched life in several tribal 'colonies' where starvation deaths were rampant.
The adivasi families who entered the forestland had only sought to assert the traditional right over the Muthanga forests. They erected huts in the barren area and reorganised the Adivasi Oorukootams (hamlet-level self-government institution). Along with subsistence agriculture, we re-started our gothra pooja (collective ritual worship). A minimum programme for Self-Rule in accordance with the spirit of the Panchayats (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996 was drawn up. The regeneration of the eco-system, primarily the water sources and the vegetation was an important objective in this. The Adivasi Oorukootams reorganised in the Muthanga were determined to achieve this through community management and the application of traditional knowledge. We were convinced that there was no need for huge donor agency funds for achieving this objective.
At no point during the struggle in Muthanga, did the Govt. authorities conduct a discussion with the protestors. The authorities never issued any notice in accordance with eviction procedures. The police or the District Collector did not gather any information from us. Throughout the AGMS occupation of Muthanga, the Forest Department, however, resorted to unlawful and covert means to evict the adivasis. Twice they sent domesticated elephants fed with alcohol to attack the adivasi huts. On two occasions, some unknown persons, obviously hired by the Forest Department, set fire to the forests and the grassland.
All the authorities, and a few fake conservationists with vested interests, concealed the truth regarding the actual status of the Muthanga forest and the indigenous people who had a right over it. Instead, they churned out false reports claiming that Muthanga was the breeding ground of elephants and a core area of the sanctuary. Most of the biodiversity of Muthanga had been sucked dry by a parallel economy that thrived on illegal ivory and sandalwood trade that went on unabated with the connivance of the Forest Department. Despite the fact that the adivasis did not do anything that could be construed as criminal or destructive of the ecosystem, the State Chief Minister Antony and the Forest Minister Sudhakaran propagated that the occupation in Muthanga was an "armed struggle waged against the State".
With the backing of this false, malicious propaganda, the state authorities first resorted to setting fire to the forests and then, two days later, opened bullet fire on over a thousand adivasi men, women and children who had 'occupied' the Muthanga forest. The assault on innocent adivasis was completed by the armed forces, by marching on to the hamlets and booking hundreds of innocent adivasis and throwing them into jails several weeks. This has been one of the most criminal incidents in the history of Kerala. "Moments in the life of a society when something happens to put its moral fibre on public display," as writer Arundhati Roy put it. "The Muthanga atrocity will go down in Kerala's history as a government's attempt to decimate an extraordinary and historical struggle for justice by the poorest, most oppressed community in Kerala"
Despite the harrowing experiences that followed the brutal eviction in February last year in the Muthanga forest, the decision of the indigenous people is to go back to Muthanga and assert our rights. There is no other way but to return to the locale and the roots of the primordial conflict with the rulers of the land who had usurped our forests and turned us into the wretched of the earth, bereft of rights over resources and rights over even our own life.
In such a context, the challenge for the Vth World Parks Congress would be to explicitly recognise indigenous peoples' rights to forestland and our role in conservation of nature as not just that of equal partners but as the key players.

On Wednesday July 2 at Summerfest the weather took a funky turn back to the cold and damp conditions that plagued the first few days of the festival. Despite the cool weather some big names were on hand to perform as headliners and the crowds showed up in droves later in the day for Dave Matthews at the Marcus Amphitheater and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Bonnie Raitt and Ludacris who all played on the grounds stages. Matthews played two sets for his fans, an acoustic first set and an electric second set.
Berlin played early in the day but was a huge draw to the Uline Warehouse as fans sought out the hit makers to play for them nostalgic songs such as, "No More Words," and "Take My Breath Away." Singer Teri Nunn expressed her joy at being in Milwaukee once again for the largest music festival in the world and thanked the fans for supporting live music.
Despite a little bit of rain during WAMI singer-songwriter of the year Nora Collins' second set of the day, nothing could dampen her spirit. Collins appeared to up her game in spite of lousy weather and gave her crowd what was perhaps one of her best renditions of her new song, "I'll Be Gone," and gave a goosebump-inducing performance of Dolly Parton's "Jolene."
Matthews and his band were bathed in one of the best light shows of the festival so far. The crowd appeared to hang on every note Matthews played, entranced by the moment. A large area up in front of the stage was standing room only, giving the fans some space to freely enjoy the tunes and dance the night away.
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts were outstanding. Joan was in top form and gave a spirited run through of a nice mix of old and new tunes. Some fans got to watch the show from the side of the stage, which must have been an amazing experience. Early on Joan performed her hit with The Runaways, "Cherry Bomb," and of course played, "I Hate Myself For Loving You," and "I Love Rock 'n' Roll." Jett capped off the night with a sublime performance of "Everyday People."

Turkish Airlines pioneers new seats for all its aircrafts
Turkish Airlines, Turkish Technic, and Turkish Seat Industries have partnered together using new automation and software technologies to create state-of-the-art seating for all of Turkish Airlines' aircrafts.
The world-class quality of safety and comfort that you've come to expect from Turkish Airlines is taking another step forward. Turkish Airlines is partnering with Turkish Seat Industries in creating a seat that is the result of three years of meticulous study. The seats are based on an automated production system, which employs a zero fault production principle and is currently the world's most efficiently produced aircraft seat.
The seats are built using 100% Turkish products and Turkish production, in line with Turkish Airlines' ultimate goal of having a total 100% Turkish aircraft production by 2023. Turkish Airlines always strives to give its passengers the highest quality in everything, which has led to it being awarded the best airline in Europe for three straight years by Skytrax.
The first aircraft equipped with the new seats is a Turkish Airlines B737-800 and it was unveiled at a presentation hosted by Turkish Airlines at Atatürk Airport. The seats will initially be used on the airline's B737-800s, and then be installed on the Airbus single-aisle fleet of A319s, A320s and A321s.

Private Show
This was fun! I called up a friend and asked if he wanted to drip hot candle wax on Karsyn, with me, in his dungeon! He gladly obliged, so we took it to the next level using a blindfold, and after she can take no more, I take her upstairs and play with her some more, eating her juicy pussy and fucking her like the good little whore she is. After that Karsyn worships my cock and shows me how much she really loves sucking dick! I get a chance to unload all over her face…twice! What more could you ask for from a dirty cum guzzling slut? Needless to say, my friend enjoyed the show!

Campus Employment Opportunities
December 4, 2012 in Community, Housing, Work
The end of the semester is almost here, and it is the time of final exams, wrapping up classes, and looking forward to a long winter break. It's also time to start thinking about on-campus employment for this summer and next year! Student Life is beginning the hiring process for a wide variety of fun and rewarding positions. Not only do students gain the experience of having a part-time job, but they also gain communication, leadership, and teamwork skills – all while getting paid. The first information sessions are on December 11, 2012 and December 12, 2012, from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM in room 135 in Fisher Hall.
I have held three different positions within Student Life during my time at Michigan Tech and I can honestly say that they were the best jobs I've had! During my second year at Michigan Tech, I worked as a residence hall reception desk staff member. This meant that I sorted student mail, rented out game room equipment, and answered any student or guest questions that came my way. The next summer I worked as an Orientation Team Leader (OTL), which was an amazing experience. I, along with about 60 other student leaders, guided first-year students through the orientation process and introduced them to Michigan Tech. Finally, this past year I worked as a member of the Orientation Executive Staff, which was the most challenging (and most rewarding) position that I've held. I was responsible for assisting in the of the weeklong orientation program, as well as overseeing the staff of 65 excited OTLs. These experiences helped me come out of my shell and have given me the confidence to do things that I never thought I could. Had someone told me I would be managing a staff of 65 peers and delivering a speech to the entire first-year class, their families, and University administration when I first arrived on campus, I'd have laughed and possibly even fainted at the prospect. However, when the time came to do these things I took the challenges in stride and enjoyed every minute of the experience. All of this aside, the most rewarding thing about my positions with Student Life is the relationships that I've built. I've worked with some of the most motivated and inspiring students and staff, and they've taught and supported me throughout my Michigan Tech career. I know all of my co-workers have had similar experiences with their positions, and I would encourage anyone who is looking to learn and grow to apply for a position.
Applying for Student Life doesn't mean you need to be out on the front lines, being crazy and excited. There are positions for every type of personality and there is plenty of room to grow. Here are some of the positions that will be available:
- Resident Assistant
- Orientation Team Leader
- Reception Desk Staff
- Commuter Assistant
- Program Assistant
- Operations Assistant
- Transfer Assistant
For more information, check out the full list of positions and read a bit more about Student Life employment. In order to apply for one of these great positions, students must attend an information session and then complete the online application. Once the application is received, students will go through an interview and group process. After all of these steps have been completed, students will be notified whether or not they have been selected for a position. I hope that you'll encourage your student to check out an information session and to consider applying. My Student Life employment played a defining role in my college experience and it's great to know that a whole new group of students will soon have some of these same opportunities!
Until next week,

Wonderful result!
This is, it seems, the long-awaited return of reason. The return of an atmosphere where ideas, and careful, thoughtful, nuanced argument and persuasion can become the centerpiece of how we go about solving our collective problems and shaping and reshaping our world. So among all the great things said yesterday about the meaning of it all, it is worth noting that it was a good day for Science.
Well, the initial phase is over, and now it is time to start the restoration work, the strengthening of the foundations, and then the true building anew.
On this day on Asymptotia...

TC TO EBENEZER JONES ; 14 February 1844; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18440214-TC-EJ-01; CL 17: 267-268
Chelsea, 14 feby, 1844—
Dear Sir,
I have received your volume of Poems, and read most part of them; which latter is of itself a fact that, in such a case, means somewhat with me! I find in you great fervour of temper; a genius hopeful, tho' as yet in all senses young; your brilliancy, your fire, playing greatly too much in the vague, like aurora borealis or sheet lightning, instead of being knit up into definite forms and thunderbolts. I will say very candidly, there seems to me the elements of a fine gift bestowed on you; if you have patience, strenuous diligence, humility; if you have all kinds of strength, for all kinds will be needed, there may something really worthy come of it. The labour is terrible; but the reward is great.
Young men who ask my advice, in these times, I generally counsel not to write in rhyme or metre; but to try rather whether they can be "poetic" on a basis of fact and sincere reality, this great universe being full of such;—for indeed all poetic forms are at present quite fallen into discredit, as they well deserved to do; and veracity not fiction was and is the true business for all human souls the highest as well as the lowest.— But, on the whole, forms go for little; it is substance only that goes for much. Sound sense, human energy and intelligence shall be welcome to us, in rhyme or not in rhyme.
Your Critic in the Newspaper is abundantly ill-natured, ill-bred, and very unjust;1 nevertheless it is my clear persuasion, his abuse will be of more profit to you than any praise he could have given. Never mind him, nor a thousand like him; hold on your way, with your eye on quite other loadstars; and after years of manful silent industry,—refining the gold in what hottest furnace you have, and 'consuming your own smoke'2 the while,—let the world hear from you again.
Wishing heartily well to you, and hoping well of yours,
I remain (in great haste)
Yours very truly
T. Carlyle
