Chino XL may be the most gifted enigma to grace hip hop. He hasn't dropped a plethora of material, yet everyone who has some kind of knowledge about hip hop over the past decade knows exactly who he is. To many, he is Eminem before he was Eminem, he was the most gifted and volatile lyricist ever. He was the man who drew the ire of Tupac to the point where Pac had to address him on "Hit Em Up." But for all those that know of Chino's gifts, there are even more who couldn't pick him or his lyrics out of a lineup.
The reasoning behind this is sporadic releases and label issues that have caged the rhyme animal instead of fully releasing his utterly ridiculous wordplay and truly laugh out loud punchlines that could possibly place him amongst the greats. Take Poison Pen for instance. This album has been dangled over the heads of hip hop since 2003 (and you thought Styles P album had it bad). It has morphed and transformed over the past three years and has seen several million release dates. But instead of scrapping the project altogether and moving on with a major label deal, Chino understood how much his fans were salivating for something. And thus comes Poison Pen, a collection of his work over the past few years.
First things first, Chino's lyricism is flat out insanity. For those of you looking for a lesson in ridiculous wordplay and punchlines ("I feel like I'm in Hong Kong how they try a make this Sing-a-pore") that force you to punish the rewind button, Chino XL is your messiah. He is simply ridiculous in every aspect of his lyricism. Take this use of homonyms on "Wordsmith"….
"….9 planets planned it/Until it became apparent/my parent should have been a parent/state to state I ran some/I wasn't worth no ransom/money? Won't you hand some/A nigga wasn't handsome/Raised a mind like Charles Manson/Knew I was some man's son/but which one?/that made me strong and create my poison tongue."
Chino constantly impresses with his slick wordplay. When he says "I no longer battle/I baffle" on "Even If It Kills Me" the listener begins to truly understand exactly what he means. His lyrical assault is absolutely relentless and never slows down. The problem is that his production has a hard time keeping up. While "Even If It Kills Me" and "Don't Fail Me Now" featuring the Beatnuts do a great job complimenting Chino, other tracks can't quite move the listener like Chino's lyrics can. Nothing is blatantly horrible, but joints like "What You Lookin' At" don't quite cut it from a production aspect.
The only other issue for the true Chino fans is that most of this material is already on your Ipod. Which means that some of these tracks are a few years old, thus it may not be worth purchasing an album filled with material you may already have. Not Chino's fault that he chose to service those who haven't the opportunity to download, but it does stink for those looking for new material.
Poison Pen does what it intended to do. It gives the hungry something to gnaw on for the next few months (or years depending on how optimistic you are) while we await the upcoming major label Chino release. So for those of you who don't know who Chino is, pick this up. For the others who have known, just add it to your collection. Either way it is better than what many artists are doing today.

Food brokers have devised a strategy for 1995 to ensure that they remain "in the loop" as Efficient Consumer Response moves from theory to practice. In response to ECR pilots that cry out for a massive upgrade in information technology, brokers have adopted that cause as their New Year's resolution. To most effectively demonstrate that they add value -- and not cost -- to the process, brokers say they will invest in training and systems that drive profitability for their retail customers ...

The Washington Theater was an old neighborhood theater on Washington Avenue between Grand and Kentucky.
Plans for the theater began with a shopping center in the 1920s, but a theater wasn't completed for nearly a decade. The theater, which opened in November 1936, sported a cobalt blue facing and a triangle marquee.
Several photos from the 1937 Flood were taken around Washington and Kenutcky and show the new theater submerged in standing water.
The cinema flourished for decades and was renamed Cinema 35 after 1971.
The theater couldn't keep up with the multiplexes and closed in 1983. The building was razed in 1988.

I love a jeweled pair of Miu Miu shoes as much as anybody. Not only do I own a pair of Miu Miu jeweled oxfords, but they're probably the pair of shoes in my closet that gets the most compliments – women, gays, even straight men spontaneously tell me how great they are all the time. The key to their greatness is that the little crystals on the back of the shoe are unexpected – it's a smart, playful touch on an otherwise workhorse shoe.
The Miu Miu Jeweled Suede Platforms, on the other hand, put the playfulness right up front. And in back. And on the sides. As much as I love some sparkle, the scale of this shoe's structure and all the shine that's packed on to it feel like too much for me. Fortunately, the inherent craziness does make it a perfect candidate for this week's Fill in the Blank. You know what to do in the comments, and if you have an itch to get some bling on your feed, you can pre-order this shoe for $2100 via Neiman Marcus.

Volume: 26 Issue: 8 (August 2003)
The SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival, Part II
, directed and produced by Hiroyasu Shimo, focuses on an inept office worker who is haunted by a self-destructive wish and plagued with anti-social behavior.
Ode to Summer
, directed by Ron Hui and produced by Tony and Raymond Neoh, uses CG to bring to life the art of Chinese ink-brush painting.
Little Red Plane
, directed and produced by Joey Jones and Wira Winata of Shadebox Animations, uses digital techniques to take a young boy on a spiritual journey.
The Future is Wild
, directed by Steve Nicholls and produced by Paul Reddish of 422 Ltd., places 47 unique and highly diverse CG animals into live-action backgrounds for this 13-part television series from Animal Planet USA.
Each year, the SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival serves as a mirror of what is possible today and as a window into what might be achieved in the future. "The festival is defined by one word—vision," says chair Darin Grant from Digital Domain. "Through a unique blend of art and technology, it has helped display the vision and achievement of the pioneering efforts of our industry during the past 30 years."
, directed by Wojtek Wawszcyk and produced with Georg Gruber, features a penguin, created in Softimage|3D, which moves to the rhythm of an orchestral selection.
, directed by Andy Knight and Richard Roseman, and produced by Randi Yaffa of Red Rover Studios, uses computational fluid dynamics, cloth simulation, and other digital technologies to create the dynamic imagery in this humorous animated shor
Time Warner Pigs
, directed by Bruno Aveillan and produced by Quad-Believe, is a television commercial featuring fantastical CG pigs created by La Maison.
©2002 SSNK New York; Quad, Believe.
This Wonderful Life
, directed and produced by Liam Kemp, shows how a newfound love can fill the void in a person's heart following the death of a spouse.
Solder Man
, directed and produced by Dave Novak, is a story of creation, evolution, and problem solving, as the main character looks to the only solution he knows: soldering.
This year, the Animation Theater projects were shown collectively in one large venue, rather than in multiple rooms. As a result, the festival jury had to limit the number of selections, presenting 52 projects compared to 66 last year. Of these, 28 are international submissions, and 14 are student productions. Moreover, only 25 pieces were presented in the prestigious Electronic Theater, compared to 35 during the previous year.
"Whether the piece is a fascinating story that has been captured and told through the use of computer-generated images, a creatively edited breakdown of the visual effects work from a professional studio, or a scientific showcase that gives us a glimpse at the edge of our ever-expanding technological horizons, it always represents the best that our industry has to offer each year," says Grant.
A selection of images from the Computer Animation Festival appears on these two pages. —Karen Moltenbrey

Bika Mail 5 - Tell it as it is
Not just another newsletter! Fear not. This is not another vain, blow-by-blow corporate report back on the inner workings of a laboratory software company. Although we're sure there's a reality TV show concept in there somewhere. In this letter, you'll find useful information about our latest software developments and releases, satisfied customers, partnership opportunities and you even get to throw in your five cents on our designs. We've been incredibly busy, but are well pleased with the results. So, here's to a great 2007 to all!
Siyabonga! First off, thanks to Zanele Guqaza for sharing with us this delightfully improved translation of the isiZulu 'bika' for which we were using the more literal 'to report' up until recently. Zanele says that bika also means 'tell it like it is' which really captures the essence of Bika and what laboratories should be about. We couldn't have put it better ourselves.
If you haven't paid a visit to our site recently, here's the latest news:
1. New Software Releases
Bika LIMS 1.2.2 ISO 17025 Ready: Upgraded and released
The release of Bika LIMS 1.2.2 was met with a fantastic 900 downloads to date at SourceForge.net. The release features the ISO 17025 compatibility of its predecessor and we've migrated it to the popular and enhanced Plone 2.5. User-friendliness is ensured with a new manual and help centre integration.
Bika LIMS 1.2.2 continues to offer our web content management tools through the LIMS's web portal which allows laboratories to publish news, information and multimedia reports to prospects, clients and staff.
Bika LIMS 1.2.2 can be applied in any one of the Bika products that we offer, as in the case of Bika Wine 1.2.2 for Cape Winelab on our hosted LIMS service. Bika was very pleased earlier to report that our anchor client BBK achieved ISO 17025 accreditation using Bika Wine 1.2.1. Congratulations.
The Bika LIMS on-line demonstration installation was also upgraded, please do feel free to try it out. Clients and prospects can look forward to Bika Wine and the Bika Interlab branch which is currently in migration and due for release in March
2. Bika Interlab meets the South African Wine Laboratory Association
For those who haven't yet had the pleasure, Bika Interlab is a web-based inter-laboratory comparison LIMS built for round robin proficiency testing. It is now in production at the esteemed South African Wine Laboratory Association in what must be a world first. December 2006 Wineland magazine describes the SAWLA web based automation as 'ambitious' and 'unique'. The system shortens turn around time dramatically and delivers comparative stats and graphs on-line and per e-mail immediately after a testing round closes. >>read more >>web site
3. A Bika portal for the South African Society for Enology & Viticulure
Bika was asked to fit this fine institution, with 850 international members, a system that allows administrative personnel and board members to collaborate on-line before publishing content. Check out the link for a perfect example of a web content management portal in motion. >>read more >>web site
4. Bika Mark 2: Have your say
Bika LIMS 2, the much awaited next version of our chemistry LIMS, is nearing completion for Quantum Analytical Services. Bika 2 features superior functionality, analysis and worksheet templates, product specifications, quality control graphs and a true working time calendar for calculating late analysis alerts and turn-around reporting. To name just a few of its many benefits.
In the course of our design, we realised that to address the needs of our clients, we have to get more feedback from the horse's mouth. Particularly concerning the design of quality control and worksheet templates. We uploaded summarised designs of workable solutions to the LIMS 2 project page and we'd love your input, particularly if you are a lab specialist. >>Bika LIMS 2 project page
5. After sales satisfaction!
Pre-populated Help Centres are now part of Bika implementations – that means all help and training resources are nicely bundled into the LIMS.
On-line manuals and training videos remain available for revision and ongoing training. In addition to LIMS related analysis procedures and safety manual benefits, this infrastructure gives laboratories the power to create their own knowledge bases and publish relevant information to their clients and staff.
Our own Help Centre at Bikalabs.com features several new items:
Interlab Videos: Our videos come in a compressed digitised format and can be viewed on-line. These movies demonstrate how to use the system and explain each step and action. The video is interactive and you can pause/play/rewind at will, making it really handy for training.
Bika 1.2 Laboratory Manual: The new manual is up and loaded
Bika Installation Guides: These currently cover Ubuntu Linux and Windows. Lab users and clients need browsers only. We invite all to send us feedback on experiences with any alternative platforms. Any Mac OS installations out there?
Many new Glossary Items: Through our research of the laboratory industry, every term, acronym or definition encountered is published in Bika's glossary. We find that the glossary terms crop up frequently in our web statistics, it is being put to good use.
6. Bika representation in Gauteng
Strengthening our technical capacity, Bika is pleased to welcome two new partners to our fold – iKubu and IOSYS.
Bika operates on a principle of offering the best support possible, we would therefore like to extend an invitation to qualified service providers nationally and internationally to become part of our network. The invitation extends to suppliers who would like to see their lab instruments and LIMS related applications interfaced with Bika. For more info contact us
8. New resources
It's always a good sign when a company needs to add to its ranks, and Bika is proud to welcome Jacob and Jolinda on board:
Jacob Tekane - Health Laboratory Consultant
Jolinda Vreugde - Legal Advisor
Well, we hope that we lived up to the promise of our intro and that you will get the value we see in our products from our new releases. We are all very excited about the new partnerships and client relationships Bika has struck up over the past six months. We're really feeling the buzz of good things to come regarding the benefits that Bika has to offer our clients in terms of speed, efficiency, accountability and best of all that precious commodity that no one seems to have enough of – time.
We're looking forward to those comments on the QC and Worksheet Design template – who knows, this could be your chance to be an influence on programming history. We'd like to emphasise the fact that our products are Open Source. And with that and our client comments, we leave you with some cud to chew as to the benefits of Open Source technology, which we will be covering in depth in our next issue. Until then,
From all at the Bika team,

Delaware State Police are advising Milford residents of a homeless sex offender, 30-year-old Antoine M. Sturgis, who is living somewhere in the area.
Police emphasize that Sturgis is not wanted for any crime; state law requires police to notify area residents when a known sex offender is living in their neighborhood. Law enforcement officials use the media to notify the entire community when a sex offender is listed as homeless.
Sturgis is a Tier II, or medium-risk offender.
He is 5-feet-7-inches tall, weighs 165 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information that Sturgis is occupying a residence in the area is asked to call (302) 672-5306, Delaware Crime Stoppers at (800) TIP-3333, online at tipsubmit.com, by sending an anonymous tip by text to 274637 (CRIMES) started with the keyword "DSP" or by using the Delaware State Police Mobile Crime Tip Application available at delaware.gov/apps.

After a successful and widely publicized free joint giveaway earlier this month, the pro-pot/anti-taxation organization "No on Proposition AA" handed out more free cannabis Monday. This time, the group was dispersing joints in the name of disaster relief in the town of Boulder.
The devastating 2013 Colorado floods inspired No on Prop AA to give away ganja to both medical marijuana patients and "stressed out recreational users" at Boulder's Pearl Street Mall and the Boulder County Courthouse.
To promote the event, organizers declared on their Facebook page: "Flood relief doesn't stop at clothes, medical supplies, food and shelter, people lost their pot too!"
Attorney Rob Corry -- a No on Prop AA organizer -- quipped to the crowd: "We're here to give you some dankness for your dampness!"
Corry explained: "We want to bring some relief to hurting people in this community … We obviously had historic damage from this flood, and marijuana can be a calming, positive influence on people."
Proposition AA is a measure on the 2013 Colorado state ballot. If approved by voters the measure would levy a 15 percent excise tax on wholesale distribution of recreational marijuana and add an extra 10 percent retail sales tax to the usual state sales tax.
Opponents of Prop AA object to such taxes driving pot prices close to or beyond the black market, defeating one of the prime purposes of legalization.
In an official statement, a "Yes on Proposition AA" spokesperson blasted No on Prop AA for "trying to capitalize upon a tragedy in order to advance their own political beliefs."
Political views aside, the joint giveaway was decidedly popular. The line of participants stretched from the courthouse around the block leading up to the event start time at 11 am. And while public consumption of pot remains against the law – which lead to the controversy at the Denver event – giving (and best of all, receiving) free cannabis is perfectly legal in Colorado provided all recipients are either approved medical pot patients or age 21 and up.

COLORADO SPRINGS - University of Colorado football coach Jon Embree wants his first Buffaloes team to be aware of CU's past - not necessarily to repeat it, but to refer to it in establishing its own goals.
"I just want our players to embrace it . . . we have to know who we are and where we're going," Embree said Wednesday at the Colorado Football Kickoff Luncheon, an annual event hosted by the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation.
Also in attendance was Air Force Coach Troy Calhoun, Colorado State-Pueblo Coach John Wristen and first-year Northern Colorado Coach Earnest Collins, Jr. Colorado State was represented by sophomore quarterback Pete Thomas, who filled in for Coach Steve Fairchild.
Embree said all the members of his staff who have CU ties as players have had varied experiences at the school.
"But the bottom line is, we're all done," he said. "I want (current Buffs players) to be able to stand up in front of the team ten years from now when they're done and tell them about their experiences and how it related to the things before them. We need to know about all the great things that have been done here - we've won a Heisman, two Butkuses, two Thorpes, a Mackey, a Davey O'Brien . . .
"We've accomplished some great things here. We've won a national championship, we've played in some of the biggest games in college football history. They need to know that, they need to understand what they're a part of."
Rather than imploring his players to duplicate the past, "I'm just letting them know what their heritage is," Embree said.
Most preseason forecasts haven't been kind to the Buffs, predicting no better than a four- or five-win season, if that, in CU's inaugural year in the Pac-12 Conference. But Embree isn't listening, watching or reading; he's more optimistic than that without putting a number on the W's and L's.
Why the optimism?
"Because I know me," he said. "I know my coaching staff. I believe in those players . . . that they've made unbelievable changes in their habits off the field, the fact that every guy is there this summer working out. I don't think that guarantees anything, but it gives you a chance."
Embree reiterated what he's said several times since spring drills ended - that his first CU team likely won't be the most talented in the nation but adding, "The most talented team doesn't always win - that's why you play the game. These guys will go out and fight and compete and we'll see what happens."
Predicting the Buffs will be better in four years than they will be in his first season "isn't fair to these seniors," Embree added. "What about the guys who won't be here in four years? That's how I look at it."
As for a number of wins in his first year, Embree claimed he doesn't know what would satisfy him or his players. He recounted CU's 1993 campaign under Bill McCartney when the Buffs finished 7-3-1 and McCartney's assistant were moping at season's end.
McCartney, recalled Embree, told his staffers that record was about what he expected and that '94 would be CU's season. He was right; the Buffs finished 11-1, with one sub-par half in their loss at Nebraska preventing them from playing for the national championship.
"That moment always stuck with me, because as coaches and players you sometimes expect certain things," Embree said. "But when you look at it realistically and you're able to see what your talent was (during) the season, how you dealt with injuries and how this or that might have happened, it changes things . . ."
The Buffs are coming off five consecutive losing seasons under Dan Hawkins, including a 5-7 record in his final year.
BUFF BITS: Embree said athletic director Mike Bohn has consulted him about future scheduling. "He's been good about it . . . but I've been thinking about Hawaii (CU opens at Hawaii on Sept. 3)," Embree said. As for scheduling perceived "cupcakes," he pointed out that the Buffs lost to Montana State in their opener five seasons ago. "You've got to play whoever they put out there . . . I just want to build Colorado. You've got to be excited about whoever you play; you've got to treat every (opponent) like they mean something." . . . . Senior quarterback Tyler Hansen "isn't one of the leaders on this team, he is THE leader," Embree said . . . . Embree doesn't expect any more player attrition before players report for preseason camp on Aug. 3. He added that the only player who could be in jeopardy for the opener due to injury is tailback Brian Lockridge (ankle) . . . Embree called 2011 "very good" for high school football in Colorado. "It's a good crop from a collegiate standpoint." . . . . Calhoun believes CU will be successful in the Pac-12 - and Embree takes that as high praise. "I think the world of Troy," he said. "I have a great relationship with Gary Kubiak (former Broncos assistant, Texans head coach) and Mike (Shanahan, Denver/Washington) and I know how they feel about him. They've worked with him and I've watched him from afar and know what he's done at the Academy. It's a real unique situation; I don't know how they do it from a recruiting standpoint (and) the demands that are put on them."

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will explore a year in the life of Grammy-winning country star Miranda Lambert with its "Miranda Lambert: Backstage Access," which opens May 16 and runs through Nov. 9, 2014.
Today, in an April 23 media release, hall of fame reps shared more info about the exhibit, which will feature gowns, stage costumes, awards and more.
For starters, opening weekend festivities will include a songwriter session featuring Lambert's Pistol Annies' bandmate Ashley Monroe, a songwriting program for families and a free film screening. Later in the month, songwriters Nicolle Galyon, Natalie Hemby and Jimmy Robbins will participate in a songwriter round.
"Miranda Lambert is one of contemporary music's most popular and acclaimed artists, and for good reason," Museum Director Kyle Young said. "She's a dynamic performer; an emotive and powerful vocalist whose voice is equally at home with lyrics tough or tender; and a songwriter with a deft touch for feeling and place.
"Her numerous hits, from empowering anthems like 'Gunpowder and Lead' to introspective set pieces like 'The House That Built Me,' are rich contributions to country music's storytelling tradition. We are looking forward to taking our visitors behind the scenes with Miranda during her amazing successes in 2013."
Lambert's fifth album, "Platinum,"is set for release June 3. The first single, "Automatic," is her highest charting first-week single to date.
Among the artifacts included in "Miranda Lambert: Backstage Acces"s are the following:
- Roberto Cavalli gown with plunging neckline Lambert wore at the 2013 CMA Awards
- Blue vintage-style lace dress Lambert wore in her music video for "Mama's Broken Heart"
- Rolling pink wardrobe case from Lambert's Locked & Reloaded Tour with Dierks Bentley
- Black Ani & Ari corset with pink flames Lambert wore at LP field during CMA Music Fest
- Jovani dress embellished with chains and studs worn at the 2013 ACM awards
- Custom Gibson acoustic guitar with pink finish and pearloid pickguard
- A prototype of the Miranda by Miranda Lambert platinum-colored boots worn on the "Platinum" album cover
- Outfit Lambert wore in the "We Were Us" music video with Keith Urban

We are the manifest expression of all that has come before and all that will come after. We exist in a state of flux constantly changing to assume the mold of our projected environment. Because of this we are uncertain as to the nature of our being. Are we the shapers of being or simply its recipients? The answer must lie somewhere in between. If we examine thought which is what we are most intimately connected to we find that thought never stays in the same place except when it appears that we are seemingly stuck in a rut and yet even then thought must move on must change and must transform itself.
There is a unique and ultimately definable principle that is taking place here. It is the fundamental principle of life and of the action of what is called spirit within life. This principle of being is called by two operations; one is "the way things work," and two is "the expression of what comes to be." Everything that takes place therefore takes place via the interrelationships that take place between these two operations of the fundamental principle and the action of what is called spirit within life.
A question arises about which came first the chicken or the egg and is paralleled by what comes before creation. How do we get something out of nothing. In the beginning Elohim created...but what about before the beginning.? These questions assume that time is a static principle that it somehow conforms to our own limited conception of time. Even in an Einsteinean universe the conception of time must be altered in terms of the effects it has on the space we are passing through. In order to understand the chicken or the egg question you have to first let go of your conception of time as a linear function.
Time is universal and relates directly to light. This is why 'let there be light' is such an important concept to understand. Thought without its own self awareness is darkness and chaos, tohu va bohu. This self awareness is what makes every work and sets in motion the entire process of both operations of the fundamental principle mentioned above. When you reach the point of conception where everything just is existing simultaneously without regard to what comes first then you can realize the unification that is inherent in all things. The answer ironically comes very close to our Einsteinean world in that it all depends on the vantage point of the observer in terms of what comes first. More than that too we can awaken to the process that builds into its structure the concept of a 'moving vantage point.' In this way we can reveal the limitless light throughout every thought that we experience every action that we take. B"H.

Opinion 9.115 - Ethics Consultations
Ethics consultations may be called to clarify ethical issues without reference to a particular case, facilitate discussion of an ethical dilemma in a particular case, or resolve an ethical dispute. The consultation mechanism may be through an ethics committee, a subset of the committee, individual consultants, or consultation teams. The following guidelines are offered with respect to these services:
(1) All hospitals and other health care institutions should provide access to ethics consultation services. Health care facilities without ethics committees or consultation services should develop flexible, efficient mechanisms of ethics review that divide the burden of committee functioning among collaborating health care facilities.
(2) Institutions offering ethics consultation services must appreciate the complexity of the task, recognizing the potential for harm as well as benefit, and act responsibly. This includes true institutional support for the service.
(3) Ethics consultation services require a serious investment of time and effort by the individuals involved. Members should include either individuals with extensive formal training and experience in clinical ethics or individuals who have made a substantial commitment over several years to gain sufficient knowledge, skills, and understanding of the complexity of clinical ethics. A wide variety of background training is preferable, including such fields as philosophy, religion, medicine, and law.
(4) Explicit structural standards should be developed and consistently followed. These should include developing a clear description of the consultation service's role and determining which types of cases will be addressed, how the cases will be referred to the service, whether the service will provide recommendations or simply function as a forum for discussion, and whether recommendations are binding or advisory.
(5) Explicit procedural standards should be developed and consistently followed. These should include establishing who must be involved in the consultation process and how notification, informed consent, confidentiality and case write-ups will be handled.
(6) In general, patient and staff informed consent may be presumed for ethics consultation. However, patients and families should be given the opportunity, not to participate in discussions either formally, through the institutional process, or informally.
(7) In those cases where the patient or family has chosen not to participate in the consultation process, the final recommendations of the consultant(s) should be tempered.
(8) In general, ethics consultation services, like social services, should be financed by the institution.
(9) A consultation service should be careful not to take on more than it can handle, ie, the complexity of the role should correspond to the level of sophistication of the service and the resources it has available. As a result, some services may offer only information and education, others a forum for discussion but not advice, others might serve a mediation role, and some might handle even administrative or organizational ethics issues. (IV, V)

With his arms crossed and his eyes on the prize, the giant likeness of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. began watching over Washington, D.C. in 2011. This recent addition to the city's seemingly countless monuments, museums and government buildings is directly in sight of the Jefferson Memorial along the Tidal Basin.
The majestic likeness of Dr. King is carved out of a massive block of solid granite. According the National Park Service website the image of him emerging from the granite "reflects the steadfast resolve of an entire generation to achieve a fair and honest society."
Words from his 1963, "I Have a Dream" speech inspired the design of the monument. The granite block bearing Dr. King's likeness is called "The Stone of Hope." Directly behind it you will find the "Mountain of Despair." Both were phrases used in the famous speech given on a nearby spot on the National Mall.
Dr. King is forever looking forward, eyes looking over the water and toward the horizon. Master Lei Yixin sculpted this captivating work of art. When you stand beside it you feel the enormity of what Dr. King accomplished in his life a fitting tribute to a man who inspired those around him to stamp out injustice and change the course of history.
Like most of the attractions in Washington, D.C. visiting the monument is free. Its location might be a bit of "hike" from the center of the National Mall, but there are places to park nearby. However parking during peak times can be difficult, so you should plan on bringing your walking shoes, a bicycle or maybe a segway.
Dr. King is buried in his hometown of Atlanta just a few blocks from the home where he was born in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood. Much of the neighborhood is now part of a National Park and Historic District.

Immigration is a hot-button issue, to be sure. But at the end of the day, the dollars and cents of immigration reform — sometimes called "amnesty" — mean that it would benefit everyone to pass meaningful changes to the system in the interest of economic growth.
The details of border security are important to some, and the "path to citizenship" idea is anathema to others who see reforms as a reward to those who got here illegally. These are fair points of debate, yes, but at the end of the day I believe the economic benefits tip the scales clearly in favor of reform despite other concerns.
Here are five reasons why:
Immigration Saves Social Security: Even the conservative editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal call immigration reform "A $4.6 Trillion Opportunity," and state that "higher post-reform levels of immigration would mean an extra $600 billion into the [Social Security] trust fund to about $4.6 trillion over 75 years." Critics warn of the drag on government programs, but creating a system that causes them to pay into the tax coffers prevents them from being a drag on the system — and helps fix the demographic problem of too many older retirees and not enough workers to support them via Social Security taxes.
Immigration Grows U.S. GDP: The Congressional Budget Office estimates the current Senate immigration reform bill will increase real GDP relative to current projections by 3.3% in 2023 and 5.4% in 2033 — adding roughly $700 billion in 2023 and $1.4 trillion in 2033 in today's dollars. That's a lot of productivity.
Immigration Doesn't Steal Jobs: According to a 2010 report by the Migration Policy Institute, a non-partisan group focused on immigration and emigration trends worldwide, "there is only very limited evidence of crowding-out of natives in the workforce by immigrants. In the short run (one to two years) the results imply a small negative effect on native employment, but the estimates are not significantly different from zero."
Immigration Actually Makes Natives Wealthier: Furthermore, in addition to having a neutral short-term affect, it's actually good for native workers over time. MPI states that "immigration has a positive long-run effect on the average income of native workers" and that over 10 years "a net inflow of immigrants equal to 1 percent of employment increase income per worker by 0.26 percent."
It's the Right Thing to Do: We are a nation of immigrants and a plural society. That's why America is great. While it's uncomfortable for some white males to think of themselves as part of a declining demographic group that will ultimately lose political and cultural influence … it's a reality whether we pass immigration or not.
Let's send the right message by forging a future that works for everyone rather than just clinging to the models of decades and centuries past. As former President George W. Bush said recently, "I hope, during the debate, we keep a benevolent spirit in mind, and we understand the contributions immigrants make to our country."
We can and should debate various parts of this bill, and if the House has tweaks, that's fine by me. But failure or obstructionism due to politicking is a bad result for the economy — regardless of what you think about immigrants and immigration.

"You had me at hello" can be a first response when viewing the 20th-century American artist Archibald Motley's paintings for the first time. The vibrant scenes of jazz clubs, lively musicians, and people dancing create illusions of actual motions. Vibrant colors and figures move with the musical themes in his paintings, and the evocative expressions on portraits and figures transport the viewer into the painted room or music venue.
Archibald Motley: Jazz Age Modernist is a new exhibit initiative that presents a rare opportunity to view and experience 42 of the artist's creations from 1919 to 1960. It is the first solo national tour of Motley's work in 20 years, having started at the Art Institute of Chicago and with the next stop scheduled at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University from January 30, 2014 through May 11, 2014. John Spencer Bassett, a professor of Art and Art History at Duke University, is credited for organizing the Motley exhibition at on Duke campus.
Archibald John Motley, Jr. (1891-1981) was born in New Orleans, LA. After short periods of residing in New Orleans, LA, St. Louis, MO, and Buffalo, NY, he and his family settled in Chicago, IL. According to the time line of his life on the exhibit website, he declined a full scholarship to study architecture at Chicago's Armour Institute, and instead applied and was accepted into the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He drew inspiration from an African American community in Chicago known as "Bronzeville" and painted scenes and depiction of their lifestyles and the vibe and energy of the community on canvas. The collection includes his works from his career and life journeys, his community and neighborhoods, and studies in France and other countries such as Mexico that influenced his paintings of the Jazz Age Paris, African American communities such as Harlem, and landscapes and life in Mexico.
Scholar Davarian Baldwin, who contributed an essay to the Motley exhibition catalogue, said, "He really reflected the energy, the dynamism, the action, the pace of black urban living (in Bronzeville). In the face of real constraints, real racial constraints."
Nashure Museum of Art will host programs and events related to Archibald Motley: Jazz Age Modernist and provide opportunities for deep insights of the American artist's work. Motley may not have gotten the earned notoriety, accolades, and recognition based on social prejudice and barriers of his time, but now in a new era, the "truth" of his art can leave any art critic or art lover speechless without racial judgment or prejudice, and instead just be mesmerized.
"We are extremely proud to present this dazzling selection of paintings by Archibald Motley, a master colorist and radical interpreter of urban culture," said Sarah Schroth, Mary D.B.T. and James H. Semans Director of the Nasher Museum. "His work is as vibrant today as it was 70 years ago; with this groundbreaking exhibition, we are honored to introduce this important American artist to the general public and help Motley's name enter the annals of art history."
An illustrated exhibition catalogue with critical texts by scholars Davarian L. Baldwin, David C. Driskell, Olivier Meslay, Amy M. Mooney and critically acclaimed poet, essayist and novelist Ishmael Reed is published by the Nasher Museum and distributed by Duke University Press.
Archibald Motley: Jazz Age Modernist will continue the tour to the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas (June 14–September 7, 2014); the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (October 19, 2014–February 1, 2015); the Chicago Cultural Center (March 6–August 31, 2015) and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (Fall 2015).

My own music is now online!
By jimmo on Aug 07, 2007
Well, it's taken a while but I've finally launched my new music site! Friends and family tend to be very lenient with their criticism but they've often told me that I should really do more to promote my own music (after all, that is my first love. I enjoy my job but I love composing!)
Check it out at www.jimmo.org.
There are demonstrations and samples available under "free music", although these are mostly classical in nature. You can listen to samples from the album I'm currently working on too!
The music files are hosted in the UK, so you may need a little patience to download or stream the mp3 files from other parts of the globe (depending on the quality of your international internet feed).
For those with Simon Cowell tendencies, you have the option to leave criticism on the forum :)
(Note to foreign readers: Simon Cowell is a music industry personality infamous for his very blunt but usually correct critique)

|Vandals run tally to eight
HONOLULU - Junior Lauren Schaffer stole the show with a blistering 800m race, but it was just one of a handful of impressive University of Idaho performances on the final day of the Western Athletic Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
The Vandal junior annihilated not only the Idaho school record in the 800m, she also crushed the WAC Championship meet record with a lifetime-best 2:04.53 that puts her at seventh in the NCAA in the event.
The time bests Mary Kamau's 2005 school record of 2:05.96 and Svetlana Badrankova's 2:05.33 from the 1999 meet for UTEP.
Junior Barry Britt produced the top distance performance of the meet, as he became the first WAC double-champion in the 5,000m and 10,000m since 2003, and the first Vandal to achieve the feat. After a tight finish in the 10,000m on Friday, Britt cruised in the 5k with a time of 14:33.73.
True freshman Hannah Kiser grabbed the early lead and never relented in a relatively easy win in the women's 5000m in 16:47.89, which is the fourth-fastest championship time in WAC history. It also gives her three total crowns, along with her two indoor titles, and a team cross country title in her first season as a Vandal.
Sophomore Liga Velvere powered her way to an individual title in the women's 400m hurdles with a time of 58.81 for her third career WAC gold in her first season in an Idaho uniform.
The four Friday titles, paired with Gabby Midles' women's hammer, Eugenio Mannucci's men's shot put, Lucas Pope's men's pole vault and Britt's 10,000m, gave Idaho eight as a team at the meet.
Both teams finished fifth, as the men scored 85.33 and the women scored 91, just one point out of fourth. Idaho added eight first-team all-WAC honors and eight second-team certificates on Friday, which brings the team's week-long total to 14 first-team all-WAC honorees and 15 second-teamers.
In addition to the individual champions, sophomore Keli Hall (3rd, 800m) and junior Anna Kalbrener (3rd, 1500m) earned first-team all-WAC honors on the women's side, while Andrew Blaser (3rd, 110m hurdles) and Kyle Rothwell (3rd, hammer throw) represented the men.
The women's 4x400m relay squad of Karlene Hurrel, Keli Hall, Lauren Schaffer and Liga Velvere ran a 3:44.82 for runner-up honors and second-team all-WAC accolades. They were joined on the all-WAC second team on Friday by sophomore Kristine Leonard (4th, shot put), Blaser (4th, high jump), junior Julia Veseth (4th, 5000m) and senior Sam Michener (5th, 100m).
While the meet wraps up the season for most of the Vandal squad, another group of competitors will now keep an eye on the NCAA West Region performance list in hopes of clinching a top-48 qualifying spot for the NCAA Preliminary Round, which takes place May 26-28 at Eugene, Ore.

With landfill space at a premium and communities loathe to approve new landfill sites, regulators want organic material recycled.
The Inland Empire Regional Composting Authority (IERCA) received the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 2013 Environmental Award in the Green Government category.
The Composting Council Research & Education Foundation (CCREF) launched the Two Cents for Compost program, so named because they are asking compost producers to donate 2 cents for every ton of compost produced each quarter.
A community of 210,000 masters the residential and commercial organics waste stream.
Studies show compost reduces soil loss, pollutant levels, and runoff more than other erosion control methods.
Nontraditional sources of labor make recycling possible.

According to that Czech article someone posted in another thread his choices were 2, 3, and 5.
Well three puts him right into his prime, and if he were to get low-balled, he has an arbitrator to fall back on. I see the appeal of a 3 year deal. This signing is a solid one in my book as I think Tatar will turn out to be very consistent and solid for the team.

Jon Stewart Thinks We're Going to Bomb Syria for Obama's Penis
He's not a fan of this war.
After filming his movie Rosewater in Jordan for the past few months, Jon Stewart returned from his long hiatus just in time to stake out a position on a potential military campaign against Syria, a debate that has split liberals and conservatives alike. And it turns out that Stewart is not a fan. "Oh right, we have to bomb Syria because we're in seventh grade, and the red line they crossed is actually a dick-measuring ribbon." His suggested name for the "ineffective," limited strikes being proposed: Operation Just the Tip.

Love this show! Phoenix Theater did a great job with the cast and the set. If you go, be prepared to laugh so hard you'll cry.
Stop by early to enjoy happy hour drink specials before the show.
Avenue Q is intended for adults and older teenagers and, although it is staged partially by puppets, is very much about real life. It's not appropriate for children as it addresses issues like sex, drinking, and internet pornography. It also features full puppet nudity. If Broadway shows were rated, this show would be rated R.

The Gazette
BEREA — Browns coach Pat Shurmur was remarkably upbeat and composed on Friday afternoon, less than 24 hours after Cleveland suffered a hard-fought 23-16 loss in Baltimore.
Though the Browns are 0-4 on the season and have dropped 10 straight games overall, he refused to be critical of his players or their effort against the Ravens on Thursday Night Football.
"No doom and gloom here. We're fighting in this next 10-day stretch to go to New York and play the Giants," Shurmur said.
"This is the group of guys I want to get this thing fixed with, and I told them that in the locker room last night. These are my guys — and I'm glad they are."
Despite Shurmur's positivity, Cleveland finds itself in an unenviable position heading into its weekend off. The 1992 San Diego Chargers are the only NFL team to make the playoffs after an 0-4 start, but they didn't have the youngest roster in the AFC, as the current Browns do.
"We have 12 games left," Cleveland wide receiver Greg Little said. "To go 12-4 would be a great season.
"In our league, there aren't any blowouts really. We just have to find whatever it is to make those one or two plays every game that it comes down to."
Ironically, Little himself failed to get the job done on one of the biggest plays in Baltimore, dropping a potential 34-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Weeden with 4:45 left. The football briefly rested in between his hands, but squirted out as he fell backward to the ground.
The 6-foot-3 receiver made a tremendous athletic leap to get in position for the grab, but didn't come down with the ball, as has been his problem for two seasons.
"We had some drops, which are not acceptable," said Shurmur, who singled out Little's butterfingers earlier in the week. "We have some guys out there playing who are not catching the ball efficiently enough."
Little, who had two other outright drops, defended his effort on the pass in question.
"That would have been a great play that people would remember, and tell their kids about where they were when it happened," Little said. "My grading sheet (from the coaches) was pretty good — actually, it was really good — but there are 3-8 plays that you've got to make a spectacular effort on each game that I've got to make."
Since Little didn't, Cleveland is one of just two winless squads in the NFL, along with the New Orleans Saints, and has equaled its second-longest losing streak in 60 seasons in the league.
The Browns will tie their franchise record of 11 losses in a row — set in 1974-1975 under coaches Nick Skorich and Forrest Gregg — if they cannot beat the defending Super Bowl champion Giants on Oct. 7 at MetLife Stadium.
But as cornerback Dimitri Patterson noted, Cleveland's two best performances came against its two toughest opponents — Baltimore and Philadelphia (a 17-16 loss on Sept. 9) — so a defeat isn't guaranteed.
"Nobody anywhere gives the Browns a chance, but at the end of the day last night, we were right in it," the sixth-year pro said.
"It's us against the world. We don't play (against) the media, we don't play bloggers, we don't play ESPN and NFL.com. Their job is to talk, write, whatever the case may be. That's y'all job, but our job is to play. Simple as that."
Complicating matters in Week 5 are the uncertain statuses of Cleveland kick returner Joshua Cribbs (concussion), and safeties T.J. Ward (right thumb), Usama Young (knee) and Tashaun Gipson (knee).
Cribbs was able to fly home with his teammates after taking a scary shot to the head from Ravens linebacker Dannell Ellerbe. Shurmur said the two-time Pro Bowl selection was "doing well today, much better than you might expect."
Ward's right hand was placed in a cast before leaving M&T Bank Stadium, prompting Shurmur to say "there is a chance that we may have to do some more evaluation" before determining his availability.
The coach added that safety Ray "Bubba" Ventrone is playing with pins and a steel plate in his broken left thumb, so it was possible Ward could do the same, but offered no details on Young or Gipson.
"We'll let the dust settle," Shurmur said. "We'll be back on the field Monday, so we'll see where they're at then."
Suspension station
|Browns linebacker Scott Fujita traveled directly from Baltimore to New York City, where he met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for one hour Friday. A league spokesman declined to disclose what was discussed.
Fujita was initially suspended for three games because of his role in the New Orleans Saints' bounty program, but had his sentence indefinitely postponed when he appealed it in court.
l Browns cornerback Joe Haden has one contest remaining in his four-game suspension for violating the NFL's illegal substance policy. He reportedly tested positive for Adderall in the offseason, but Shurmur said he didn't feel betrayed by Haden's actions.
"Betrayed? No. Joe could have gone out and sprained his ankle," the coach said. "We deal with the cards we're dealt and we go play. That's our little world here, and that's how we handle it."
Special player
|Browns kicker Phil Dawson tied an NFL record by making three 50-plus yard field goals against Baltimore. He is the seventh player to pull off the feat and the first since Jacksonville's Josh Scobee on Oct. 24, 2011.
"Heavy balls, wet environment, but old Phil Dawson just keeps on going," Shurmur said, smiling. "He's amazing. He's amazing."
Dawson is 8-for-8 on field goals this season, four of which covered at least 50 yards. He connected from 51, 50 and 52 yards in a steady rain against the Ravens.
Quote of the day
|"The Cincy game, I just had a bad game, but I feel like I've played well the whole time this year." — Browns cornerback Buster Skrine.

Liverpool's population increased 60 times over between 1700 and 1850 and the physical expression of this was relentless urban expansion. The legacy of this remarkable epoch is a vital part of the Liverpool cityscape: in its core and its suburbs still remain fine mansions, squares and terraces. In this book, architectural historian Garry Miller investigates and analyses the houses that survive, examining architectural styles, details and plans as well as builders and residents. Miller utilises present-day photography and revealing archive images to accompany an engaging text which includes a street-by street inventory of buildings.
Author Biography
Garry Miller is an architectural historian and advisor on the conservation of historic buildings. He is the author of Historic Houses of Lancashire: The Douglas Valley, 1300–1770.
