I analyze the importance of parts in the style of biological theorizing that I call compositional biology. I do this by investigating various aspects, including partitioning frames and explanatory accounts, of the theoretical perspectives that fall under and are guided by compositional biology. I ground this general examination in a comparative analysis of three different disciplines with their associated compositional theoretical perspectives: comparative morphology, functional morphology, and developmental biology. I glean data for this analysis from canonical textbooks and defend the use of such texts for the philosophy of science. I end with a discussion of the importance of recognizing formal and compositional biology as two genuinely different ways of doing biology – the differences arising more from their distinct methodologies than from scientific discipline included or natural domain studied. Ultimately, developing a translation manual between the two styles would be desirable as they currently are, at times, in conflict.

"From the outside, at least, it seems to me that the German tradition is to educate people for their work, that is offer in-house training, which is specific and work related. In the UK the 'stupid' aspiration is for 50% to be sent to university, with no, or very little, work specific training. Perhaps this is why German industry, as whole, is superior to that in the UK."

I cannot move my pages around? I want to position my pages in ALL PAGES as they will display in the front page tab row. There should be a column where we can set the sequence number on how we want them to appear on the front page.
Also, if you can tell me now how I can arrange my tabs on the Front page, that would be great?
How do I find out what version I have?
Thanks for your help.

I have
hostapd and
dnsmasq installed for distributing my wireless network with a WiFi dongle, and everything is working well. I am also able to connect an ethernet cable and get DHCP, plus internet access, from a router.
Is there a way to bridge the internet connection from eth0 to my dynamically configured wlan0? So it becomes possible to connect with wifi and surf the net, like a router.
I am running Ubuntu, on a beaglebone black.

"Have Gun — Will Travel: The Final Season, Volume One" (CBS/Paramount, 1963, b/w, two discs, $29.99, 16 episodes). The sixth and final season of this half-hour western series starring Richard Boone as a West Point-educated gun for hire (but only to help the downtrodden) is still great fun. Guests include William Conrad, Ben Johnson, Doodles Weaver, DeForest Kelley and Lee Van Cleef in "Volume One," and in "Volume Two," Charles Bronson, Lon Chaney Jr., George Kennedy, future "M*A*S*H" stars Wayne Rogers and Harry Morgan, and, as a different character, Van Cleef again.
"Felicity: Season Three" (Lionsgate, 2000-01, three discs, $19.98, 17 episodes, audio commentaries, featurettes).
"Felicity: Season Four" (Lionsgate, 2001-02, three discs, $19.98, 22 episodes, audio commentaries, featurettes). These final two seasons of the popular series about a California girl (Keri Russell) attending a fictional New York university are set during her junior and senior years as Felicity Porter works toward graduating and entering post-college life.
"Doc Martin: Special Collection" (Acorn, 2001-11, 13 discs, $124.99, 38 episodes, two TV movies, featurettes, photo galleries, text trivia/filmographies). Here's a treat for fans of the dark but hilarious British series about the misanthropic surgeon (played perfectly by Martin Clunes) who takes over a general practice clinic in a seaside village populated by eccentrics with all kinds of weird maladies — a set that pulls together all six seasons of the series, as well as the two made-for-TV movies that led to it. (And good news: a seventh season is on the way this fall.)
"A Fine Romance: Complete Collection" (Acorn, 1981-84, four discs, $49.99, 26 episodes, text production notes). Judi Dench and her late husband Michael Williams star in this quirky sitcom about a pair of social misfits who begin a tentative romance and squabble their way into each other's lives. Some funny material, although some may not translate well to American audiences, depending on your taste for decidedly English humor.
"Broadway Musicals: A Jewish Legacy" (Athena, 2013, two discs, $39.99, narrated by Joel Grey, extended interviews/performances, text biography of Grey, 15-page booklet). The focus of this wonderfully entertaining PBS documentary is such Jewish composers and lyricists as Irving Berlin, the Gershwin brothers, Stephen Sondheim, Jerome Kern, Lorenz Hart, etc., and is liberally laced with interviews and performances by Barbra Streisand, Zero Mostel, Nathan Lane, Dick Van Dyke, Matthew Broderick, Kristin Chenoweth and many more.
"Citizen Hearst" (Bio/Lionsgate, 2012, $19.98, deleted scenes, "Hearst Castle" episode of "America's Castles" series). Fascinating documentary on William Randolph Hearst, which goes beyond his years of running the empire himself to the legacy that continues today. Interviewees include Dan Rather, Oprah Winfrey, Leonard Maltin, Ralph Lauren, etc.
"The Great Gatsby: Midnight in Manhattan" (BBC, 2000, $14.98, 1975 TV episode: "A Dream of Living"). This documentary, an episode of "Omnibus," is more about F. Scott Fitzgerald than his book of the title, and is obviously timed to coincide with the release of Baz Luhrmann's new "Gatsby" movie. And it does hold interest, with comments from a number of writers, ranging from Hunter Thompson to George Plimpton. The running time is less than an hour, as is the length of the bonus feature "Dream of Living," a 1975 portrayal of Fitzgerald by David Hemmings.
"WWII: From Space" (History/Lionsgate, 2012, $19.98). This 90-minute documentary relies on razzle-dazzle computer-graphic effects to offer up a new view of familiar material, and while some may complain that an overhead view of the action serves to further distance us from the mayhem, and it does, it's still an interesting way to make the material seem fresh. (Also on Blu-ray, same price)
"Witness: A World in Conflict Through a Lens" (HBO, 2013, $19.98). Gritty, four-part documentary miniseries focusing on present-day areas of the world that are not at war but nonetheless in constant conflict, specifically Mexico, Libya, South Sudan and Brazil, following war photographers as they chronicle drug trafficking, poverty, gang violence, political corruption, etc.

I've been thrilled with the appearance of my WordPress page so far; but today, for no reason I can discern, the 'sidebar 2' widgets have moved themselves to 'sidebar 1'(when you view the site); in 'site admin', it still lists the correct items in sidebar 2, they just aren't showing up there when you actually view the page.
WTF? any suggestions?

Woman arrested for child abuse
Published: Friday, December 17, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 5:33 p.m.
Henderson County Sheriff's Office detectives assigned to the Special Victims Unit have arrested Tracy Leigh Delozier, 31, for one count of felony child abuse and two counts of misdemeanor child abuse, a news release from the Sheriff's Office says.
The investigation found that Delozier intentionally caused her two children, ages 2 and 9, to ingest cocaine, marijuana and other narcotics, according to the release.
As a result of the arrest and continued investigation by the Special Victims Unit detectives and Drug Enforcement agents, Delozier was charged with possession with intent to Sell and/or deliver marijuana, maintaining a vehicle/dwelling to keep or sell controlled substances and felony possession of marijuana, the release says.
Delozier is being held in the Henderson County Detention Facility under a $59,000 secured bond and was scheduled to appear in Henderson County District Court today, police said.
"This crime was truly depraved and twisted," Sheriff Rick Davis said in the release. "It was a complex investigation and required very methodical but fast work by our detectives to arrest this suspect."

Today is the round robin match that everyone has been waiting for. Team Canada vs. Team Our Parents Immigrated from Canada. As a child of the 80s it seems odd to consider the US as Canada's chief hockey rival, but I can no longer trap myself in 1987 and continue to believe that the Russians are the greatest test for Canada.
This game preview could take the high road and talk about how great the US National Team Development Program is, and how I wish that Hockey Canada had something resembling anything close to that. We could talk about how this game could be a gold medal preview and features the two undefeated teams from Group A and a victory has the high stakes of a much easier path to the medal round, though losing to the Swiss or the Czechs would be unlikely for either of these teams.

On Monday, Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice announced that forward Evander Kane will be out until mid-February with a lower-body injury. Yes, ugh, I know. So what do the Jets do now? They do have a few options on the table that they can explore to help temporarily fill the hole up front.
Lets take a look.

Afshan Azad (born 12 February 1989) is an English actress and model of Bangladeshi descent. She is best known for playing the role of Padma Patil in the Harry Potter film series, except for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which was portrayed by Sharon Sandhu.
Early life[edit]
Azad was born in Longsight, Manchester, England. Her parents came from Bangladesh. She attended Whalley Range High School, and then studied AS-level Chemistry, Biology, English and Business Studies at Xaverian College in Rusholme.[1]
Azad is known for her performances as Padma Patil in five of the Harry Potter films, starting with 2005's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. She acquired the role when casting agents visited her school and, after having attended several auditions, chose her for the part. Azad had stated that she had auditioned "just for the fun of it" and surprisingly got the part.[2]
She has also told the press that her best friends on the set of Harry Potter were Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), Katie Leung (Cho Chang), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), and Scarlett Byrne (Pansy Parkinson). Azad and Shefali Chowdhury (who played the character of Azad's twin sister Parvati Patil) were also good friends.[2]
Assault court case[edit]
When 22, Azad's father and brother attacked her because of her relationship with a non-Muslim man (he was Hindu).[3][4] She was branded a prostitute by her brother and her father was said to have threatened to take her to Bangladesh and force her into an arranged marriage.[5]
On 29 June 2010, Azad's father, Abdul Azad, and brother, Ashraf Azad, appeared in Manchester Magistrates' Court, charged with threatening to kill her.[6] They were released on bail. Azad's brother was charged with "assault occasioning actual bodily harm", whilst Azad stayed with friends in London.[7][8] On 20 December 2010, Azad did not attend court when the prosecution accepted her brother's guilty plea to assault occasioning actual bodily harm and a judge ruled both men were not guilty of threatening to kill Azad.[9] On 21 January 2011, Azad's brother was imprisoned for six months but should have been deported..

High Hopes: Flying lessons inspire a career path
Shirley Johnson, 43City: Lynnwood
Program: Bachelor of science in aeronautics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (Everett campus)
Q: How did you come to enroll in this program?
A: When I started work at Boeing, I knew I would take advantage of their education benefit. I started taking prerequisites. I'd been out of school nine years, but I found things I liked. One of the things I liked was chemistry, and that was originally going to be my major. A friend got me interested in flying lessons. I really enjoyed it. I started looking at schools closer to work and thinking about aeronautics. Embry was closest and would take me the farthest.
Q: What would be your ideal first job after you earn your bachelor's degree?
A: I don't know. I'd like to do something more challenging than what I'm doing now. When I think ahead five or 10 years, I might go back and get a chemistry degree.
Right now, the goal is to become a procurement agent. I have an associate's degree in business management and 12 years of procurement experience with Boeing and other companies. Boeing requires a bachelor's degree for that position. Procurement agents deal with a lot of proprietary information.
Q: Do you follow Boeing in the news? How do you feel about the company's prospects?
A: I think the company is pretty stable. I don't listen to the news. It's either exactly what we are told at work or way off base. I pay attention to what they are telling us at work and I don't need to watch it.
Q: Would you be willing to relocate to get the right job?
A: I'll probably stay around a few years. I wouldn't mind moving to different parts of the country.
Q: When did you first travel by air, and where did you go?
A: I was 12 years old. I flew from Washington (state) to Alaska. It was a little intimidating at first, but after about five minutes on the plane, I said, "OK, let's get this show on the road."
Q: What will air travel be like in 50 years?
A: The green fuels will really have an impact. I'd like to envision tiny, personal aircraft people could hop onto like a scooter and fly to work. But I don't think we're that advanced. Maybe little commuter planes to replace the bus system.

Lelo Billy Luxury Rechargeable Vibrating Prostate Massager
Only: €139.93
Nothing like a little touch of class
Reviewed: 08 April 2016 by Zanga, a Straight Single Male
I'd been excited to treat myself to the King of sex toy brands for a while, knowing that they had something for us guys was pretty great and I could not wait to give it a whirl.
It arrived in very sleek packaging which seemed very Apple-esque with its matte finish and square lines. Definitely allured me to the quality beneath.
Inside was the charger, handy sachet of lube, storage bag (also rather good quality), and the Billy itself.
You should always charge your toys initially but when I touched the over moulded silicone end and felt it's exquisitely smooth feel, I felt too giddy with excitement and turned it on. It had charge! Naturally, I popped it in and it was so easy, the silicone was so smooth and effortless. The shape was just right in that it didn't go too far, it felt full, and didn't try to slip out.
Manoeuvring the little fella is very easy, the control section responded to my touch with all of its many modes and didn't stick out so far as to be comical and unwieldy.
But when I switched it on, oh boy! Firstly, it's so quiet! The vibrations are so powerful too, and I mean, really powerful. Didn't think the little guy had it in him.
While it didn't give me the Anal O that I was after (still not managed it ever), it did give me one of the best combination O's (gigglestick and anal) I've ever had, and consistently too!
I should also mention that the silicone felt so nice that I as able to apply the toy directly to my gigglestick and orgasm hands-free that way, Only the toy to my member. That's a first!
Overall, I did not regret this purchase and would definitely shop from Lelo again, even us guys have to feel spoilt every now and then.
- Pros
- Power and feel.
- Cons
- Handle can be very slick if lube gets near.
- Bottom line
- Wonderfully designed to get the best out of your O's.

- Pros
- Great Pleasure. Great orgasm.

- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great Fun. Definitely should try it.

A luxurious treat
Reviewed: 22 October 2015 by Tahine
I'd been saving up for this for a while. A friend of mine told me her Lelo was one of a kind and I wanted one for myself. I'd been buying a lot of new batteries for my other massagers, so the fact that it is rechargeable was a bonus in my eyes.
When it arrived, I felt like it was Christmas Eve. I couldn't wait to open it, but the classy packaging and velvety bag made me linger a bit. Then I realized that I had to charge it so I plugged it in and went for a walk, but eager to get back home to my fully-charged Billy...
And wow... Just wow. The silky texture of the shaft gave me shivers down my spine. I fiddled around with the control pad a while to get a feel for the patterns and the strength of vibrations. Just resting in my hand, the vibrations felt really strong, stronger than any I'd ever felt before with my Rocks Off massagers.
I lubed it up and had some fun while inserting it. Size-wise, it was very easy to use (for me). Even just the rigidity of the shaft was pleasurable. Then I turned it on and slowly built up to an amazing orgasm which I finished off with the last vibrating pattern, it shot through my body like waves.
I simply love this massager. It's design, feel and the orgasms it gives me. Sure, it's pricey, but well worth the money.
The only letdowns I've felt with this are that the controls can be a bit awkward, especially when you can't see where you're pressing (and have slippery fingers). They've also worn down a bit over time.
I've also been a bit worried over the very small base and have actually over-inserted it a couple of times in the heat of the moment.
Cleaning requires some finesse as well. The massager isn't waterproof and you can't just rinse it whole under the tap. I'm afraid the flap protecting the charger hole is just some cheap rubber flap. And I really really really want to take it in the shower with me. ;)
Other than that it's one magic massager. When fully charged, it gives me some of the most mind-blowing anal orgasms ever.
- Pros
- Great design, rigid, silky texture, strong vibrations, amazing patterns, rechargeable, comes with a storage bag.
- Cons
- Not waterproof, awkward control pad, a bit small after a while.
- Bottom line
- A luxurious treat that'll leave you yearning while it charges.

All lanes of Route 54 between the Osage River Bridge and the Route 242 interchange will be closed for one hour beginning at midnight tonight to allow Ameren Missouri to repair power lines damaged by Monday night's storm. Motorists will be detoured along Route 242 and Business 54 across the Bagnell Dam during the closure.
Local law enforcement and Missouri Department of Transportation staff are working with Ameren Missouri officials to coordinate the closure. Electronic message boards and other traffic control tools will be put in place to help direct traffic around the work zone.
Following the one-hour closure, the speed limit on that same stretch of Route 54 will be reduced to 40 mph from 6:30 a.m. to noon on Thursday to enable Ameren Missouri to work on overhead power lines.
"We know this is a busy time for the Lake of the Ozarks area, and we want to thank everyone for their cooperation during this brief road closure," said MoDOT District Engineer David Silvester. "Closing the road will help us keep travelers safe while Ameren Missouri performs some critical repairs that will ensure local businesses and residents maintain power."
More information about this project can be found at www.modot.org/central or by calling 1-888-ASK-MoDOT (275-6636).

A group of genius teenagers from a school for gifted students claims one of their teachers is a murderer. After striking out with the police, their last hope is Shawn and Gus, who go undercover and soon discover the kids' imaginations might not be so wild after all.- Written by Adam
The duo is hired by two pupils from a prep school for geniuses, which Gus once applied for. The boys overheard someone, presumably staff, threaten to murder, but know only the date, not culprit, victim or motive. They invite Shawn as paranormal guest lecturer. Shortly after, rude math teacher Hahn, who lost appropriate gold jewelry in the boiler room where the call was made, dies in a home fire. Shawn digs into the surprisingly colorful past of some staff and pupils.- Written by KGF Vissers
Two students claim that one of their teachers is a murderer after hearing a phone call. It is Juliet and Lassiter's one year anniversary as partners and Juliet takes her first lead detective job.- Written by Psycho697186

If you can't make me laugh…can you make me brownies instead?
Don't judge, but I got a kindle and immediately downloaded a bunch of books from the 18th and 19th centuries.
I love movies that I can't figure out immediately. I'm that guy that might ruin the movie because I guessed the killer after the first 20 minutes.

Very good location, funny flat.It is however time to change the furniture and renovate a bit.Was not really super clean.Good bathroom design.Comfortable for 2-3 persons.Thanks for it!
We stayed in this spacious appartment for 4 days (weekend). The location is perfect, nearby parking space, subway and shopping area of Les Halles - Beaubourg.
It's a 10 min. walk to Quartier Latin, Place des Vosges (Marais). The only remarks we have are a loud neighbour (below the appartment) who, when drunk, likes to play music all night long and a sofa which cannot be considered as a bed. Besides this, I would recommend this appartment.
Nice place close to the station but was a little small for 3 people. Hosts were nice and provided good directions to pick up the key.
Everything would be OK except the fact that someone has enetered our flat while we were sightseeing and has left us a message that they also have booked this flat for same days. Don`t know whos fault is it but it shouldn't happened.
Nice appartment and very central situated! The neighbourhood was very quiet.
// Family Astrom
It is a nice apartment in a very good area. Very central. We enjoyed the atmospere of the apartment, good choice of furniture. It was very quiet and contained everything we needed. The only thing we didn't like was the bathroom which looked kind of moldy.
The location of the flat is fantastically close to the Arc de Triomphe with a lovely bakery at the top of the nearest metro stairs. However I believe there are many disadvantages to this flat. The process by which you collect the keys in one paiftar the city & then travel to the flat in another part of the city (using 4 entrance codes in total!) could be improved. Also, we were disappointed with the flat itself. It was not clean, the bathroom had hairs in it & the extractor fan was clogged with dust. There was only one wine glass which was cracked! You had to be very careful when sitting on the sofa bed when it was a bed as one side buckled. The flat is not a light & airy flat if that is what you are looking for.
NICE SMALL FLAT - PERFECT FOR 4 Persons, very central with shopping possibilities and Bars and also 200 meter to next Metro !! We had a perfect stay
Nicely decorated appartment. Lots of space for your stuff and spacious enough for us (two adults, two kids), even when friends came to visit. Unfortunately, some things were broken on arrival. They were however quickly fixed after e-mailing this. Walking distance to the metro is fine. Appartment is on the third floor, no elevator, so be sure not to bring to heavy bags.
The apartment was fine, and well located close to metro, restaurants etc., however the bathroom was quite old and small. If you are on the older side (thankfully none of us were) climbing over the bath to get into the shower would be a challenge! The wire for the upstairs heater was cut so those staying there froze the first night. We requested blankets but had to go past the office (in a cab) to pick these up ourselves. Very inconvenient. Staff were nice and easy to deal with, except for the blanket incident and the fact we had to chase up the email directions for how to get the keys, which we received one day before arrival.

Fiji Nightlife Tips by grets Top 5 Page for this destination
Fiji Nightlife: 23 reviews and 22 photos
Most RecentBest Rated
- 1
The first night, the captain invites us to a cocktail party.
The champagne never stops flowing and Tui (the third cook) plays guitar for us all to have a sing-song, whilst tasty little snacks are brought round. It really has set the mood for the rest of the evening (hopefully for the rest of the cruise).
Dress Code: Casual, this is not a cruise where you need to dress up.
Theme: Other
The crew very much join in the festivities of this cruise, they seem to get as much pleasure from it as we do. They all sing or play an instrument, and sit out on deck strumming and humming in the evening. We try to join in the sing-song after dinner, we don't know any of the songs, so we go to bed instead.
Theme: Other
Back on board the ship, we continue to party with the crew until the wee hours in the morning. In fact we were the last in the bar that night, as all the other nights. What party animals we were!
Theme: Dancing
After dinner we were to have a singing competition: each nation against the others. The Germans (the majority of the cruise passengers) took it all very seriously, whereas we'd made a big joke of it all, singing Old MacDonald had a farm, bringing out the bungy jumping sheep and tying knotted handkerchiefs on our heads. All good fun.
We had trouble singing for laughing so much and the crew were in stitches. We certainly gave the best entertainment value, but we were marked down for laughing whilst singing and for disturbing the other nations: we had made up some score cards with zeros on them, which we held up for all the others, plus cards with ten points on for us!
Needless to say, we didn't win. The Germans did.
Dress Code: The silier, the better, this is supposed to be FUN.
Theme: Other
Every eveing before dinner we were served cocktails and some small snacks. The second night dinner was a buffet at 19.30 - Fiji time - which meant that it was waaayyyy later, and by the time we actually got some food, we were all well sozzled!
The weather was beautiful all throughout the cruise, which also meant that we had some lovely sunsets. One of my favourite nightlife pasttimes while travelling is to watch sunrise and sunset. All the better is enjoyed with a drink on deck of a lovely ship.
Theme: Other
Not much kava left now....
After dinner, the captain (shown on the left of the photograph, in pink) and some of the crew, would fill a bowl of kava which they'd share with anybody who was interested. Most people took a mouthful or two just to try it, but I managed to drown eleven bowl of this slighly narcotic beverage.
I was a little concerned about the amount of local "drugs" I'd consumed, would I be ill in the night, would it disturb my sleep? I needen't have worried, I slept like a log and felt right as rain the next morning.
Dress Code: Come as you are. Gentlement are expected to wear a shirt, no bare chests (that goes for women too).
Theme: Eating and Drinking

My name is Robert and I live in Oklahoma with my family. I have been playing computer games since the days of Zork, but am just now playing my first MMORPG; Neverwinter. I am not up to speed on the intricacies of the social environment within a MMORPG, since I normally play stand-alone RPG games, and would like to join a guild. I did not want to join with a group that I was unsure if I would fit into and saw that TOG was listed as a Founders Guild. I can appreciate the environment you have provided and certainly agree with the respectful nature of this venue.
I appreciate the consideration for membership and look forward to the adventures ahead.
Thank you,

You also serve that image through a PHP (or any server side language file) and send no cache headers along with that image.
You can also place the image in its own directory with other images you don't want cached and place this .htaccess file in there to prevent caching.

Mi Familia. Mi orgullo. Nuestra historia.
Soy Indio y Euro, soy mestizo, soy Latino. I am the conqueror and the conquered, I am the field and the worker and the hungry consumer; I am all these things, but my heritage is and will always be la lucha. And that is why I am here many days. For mi gente are still in the fields. It is not a thing of the past.
AND SO BEGINS "HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH." As I said to an amiga on Twitter esta mañana, I better post on it or they will come and take my name away. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to feel for a month. I celebrate Latino Heritage Month every month. I celebrate mi Mexicanidad every day, tu sabes? Hell yeah! So what of this month? This month that includes "Columbus Day" of all things? This 15th to 15th "month" that derives its name from the Nixon Administration's labeling of "Hispanic"? No se.
Mi abuelo was a campesino who worked the fields and died doing so, felled by diabetes (which runs in the bloodline of many Mexicans). He and mi abuelita (fist up for Lucha Quintana!) worked the fields and my bloodline runs all across the borders, like a river of time and a nature-bestowed rite of passage. Mis familia's sweat and blood runs through the crisp veins of your lettuce, through the meat of your tomatoes, shines bright in the gem-heart of your grapes; our music and tears and laughter are in the hot wind, and our quiet and joyful connection with el mundo, con la tierra, pools in the cool waters for thousands of years here.
Today, mi familia is in politics, has made art that stands in Califas to New York, has written books in your library and book store, teach in schools some of your children attend, has made history, and are passionate bloguer@s to be found online. Mi familia sees our name on signs and rivers and stone and buildings and it is in a language that was spoken here ever since the King and Queen's minions acted on dreams of felling Indians.
Soy Indio y Euro, soy mestizo, soy Latino. I am the conqueror and the conquered, I am the field and the worker and the hungry consumer; I am all these things, but my heritage is and will always be la lucha. And that is why I am here many days. For mi gente are still in the fields. It is not a thing of the past. I do not work the fields, though I spent over a decade working labor, on roofs, in the soil, in factories, and with a hammer. I have since gone to pricey schools (that are crushing me with debt) and am grateful that I live a pretty comfortable life in that I make art for a living. Not comfortable financially. But I owe this comfort to mi familia and their sweat and their sueños, all of them. It is on their shoulders I stand. The border hoppers, the ship stowaways, the dreamers, the do-ers. We came here looking for autonomy, looking for sustenance, wanting to live free and have pride in who we are.
And I do. And we do.
Understand: my heritage includes those who are still not free, who are still being exploited, still sweating from dawn to dusk, invisible to many and under the yoke of the conqueror who makes the laws still, makes the rules still, sucks up the labor and sweat and monies of weakened and long-exploited populations to build her empire higher.
And I now live in the empire.
But don't you think for un momento that I do not, también, live in the fields, in the slaughterhouse, in the factories, in the desert. This is my heritage, and there is no looking away. La lucha continua. Until there is justice for all.

CHICAGO -- The biggest news out of Chicago came Friday and took 30 minutes to unfold before the eyes of the NBA.
In a single display of strength, foot speed and unlimited potential, a 7-foot-4, 300-pound, 18-year-old Siberian named Pavel Podkolzine changed the 2003 NBA draft -- from possibly the third pick on down.
After Cleveland takes LeBron James and Detroit likely selects Darko Milicic, every team in the lottery will have to give considerable thought to picking Podkolzine. Denver officials, who own the No. 3 overall pick, said they will certainly bring Podkolzine into town the week of June 16 for a workout -- after the Nuggets' brass returns from a camp for foreign big men in Italy.
That means Carmelo Anthony could end up sliding. Not too far, mind you, but there is certainly now at least a possibility of Anthony not going No. 3.
And, during Friday night's late-games at the Chicago pre-draft camp, more NBA personnel were talking about Podkolzine than watching the final game being played in the Moody Bible Institute.
Boston College's Troy Bell, Arizona's Luke Walton, Brigham Young's Travis Hansen, Duke's Dahntay Jones, North Dakota's Jerome Beasley and Kentucky's Keith Bogans all made strong cases this week at the Chicago pre-draft camp to be selected in the first round.
Bell scored at will. Walton was clearly the best passing big man. Hansen was probably the hardest worker and wasn't afraid of the contact he'll find at the next level. Jones was one of the top athletes, and proved he could make shots. Beasley was efficient in the low post and has the size at 6-9 to be taken among the top 29 picks on June 26. Bogans simply seemed to make every shot he took in three games.
Marquette's Robert Jackson and UCLA's Jason Kapono might still be considered a tad behind, but were pushing the first-round threshold. Jackson led his team in scoring and was always around the ball. Kapono worked hard to get shots off and made a few NBA 3-pointers. Arguments could be made to take Mississippi State's Derrick Zimmerman because of his ability to play at two speeds (fast and faster). Miami's James Jones can't be overlooked due to his range as a shooting forward.
All these positives would have meant something more for seniors hoping to be drafted in the first round -- in the late '90s. But the reality in 2003 is while these seniors might have first-round talent, the majority are likely to end up somewhere in the second round.
"The longer you're in college, the more chances they have to critique you," Bell said. "It's always about the new guy and it doesn't matter if you're better than them or not."
That new guy Friday was Podkolzine. Make no mistake, even before wowing NBA coaches, general managers and others, Podkolzine was going to be a first-round pick. The chance to take a raw, unproven, young, international big man is always more tantalizing for NBA teams than 22-year-old seniors.
And this year, there simply aren't enough spots for seniors in the first round.
There are plenty of reasons why a senior won't hear David Stearn call his name, but politics seem to push them into the second round more than anything else. For every Shane Battier, there is a Steve Logan -- senior All-Americans who for some reason other than their skills are chosen in the second round, rather than the lottery or at least the first round.
Guarantees occur every year for underclassmen and international players, each of which push another worthy senior into the second round. Powerful agents aren't going to keep their clients in the draft if they don't get a guarantee that they will go in the first round. And teams are willing to play this backroom draft game by the agent's rules in the hope they'll receive favorable treatment when it comes to a free agent.
The seniors who will find a spot in the first round must overcome the off-court games they can't control with the talented they've shown on the court for four years at school -- and for some -- three days in Chicago and an endless string of workouts over the next 2½ weeks.
"There are 29 spots and if the players are deemed good enough by those teams then they'll be in one of those spots," said Jeff Weltman, Denver's director of player personnel. "There aren't 29 guys being sent overseas. If you're good enough to be picked then you'll be picked."
Yes, there will still be seniors selected in the first round -- likely as many as six, possibly seven, and maybe eight to 10 if some of the players from Chicago can crack the top 29. Kansas' Kirk Hinrich will probably be the first senior taken as high as No. 8. Louisville's Reece Gaines will probably go toward the the back end of the lottery. Kansas' Nick Collison could also be wearing a lottery team's hat on draft night.
Illinois' Brian Cook, Xavier's David West, Wake Forest's Josh Howard and UNLV's Marcus Banks are all being discussed as mid-to-late first-round picks.
Seniors, however, do get a bad rap, whether justified or not.
Last year's first-round lot didn't fare so well as NBA rookies. Seven were taken in the first round, only Tayshaun Prince was a major contributor, and that didn't occur until late in the season and during Detroit's playoff run to the Eastern Conference Finals. None of the rest -- Juan Dixon (Washington), Ryan Humphrey (Orlando), John Salmons (Philadelphia), Dan Dickau (Atlanta), Freddie Jones (Indiana) and Melvin Ely (L.A. Clippers) -- were able to earn significant minutes.
"I don't see why seniors don't (get taken)," Hansen said. "We've got a great group of seniors here. Hopefully they all can take their game to another level like Tayshaun Prince did."
Being a first-round pick is the prize coveted by every player in the draft. The main perk is the guaranteed money that comes with it. But coming out of the second round isn't awful, either. Players like Bell, Walton, Hansen and Jones are using Gilbert Arenas and Carlos Boozer as successful second-round examples out of the past two drafts. Arenas is ready to cash in after two years of making second-round money.
"I try not to let it bother me (about the politics of the first round) and being a second rounder has positive points," Jones said. "I'll make the best out of it. You can still make good money in the second round."
The beauty of the Chicago camp is that players arrive with the hunger and passion to try and earn a spot in the first round. And the chemistry on some of the teams made it seem like they had played together for years. Walton, Hansen and Bell worked seamlessly on the court for three days.
"I was real comfortable out there, more than I thought," Walton said. "I thought there would be a lot of guards shooting a lot and being selfish. We're out there having fun."
Walton said that Bell, who averaged 18 points and 7.5 assists in three games, helped him play at his best throughout the week. He said he was vocal and was everything a point guard should be. "From the first day I knew he was a great teammate to have," Walton said.
Bell, in turn, said he wanted to come to Chicago to prove that he could play the point and wasn't about to duck the competition.
"Why not come?" Bell said. "I'd do it again."
But the question will remain: Is he good enough to be in the first round?
"I thought we were good enough to get into the NCAA Tournament," said Bell of Boston College's apparent snub last March. "I don't know. I'd like to think I am better than a lot of people. I just happened to be in this position (of trying to crack the first round). As long as I get my foot in the door, it's OK. I think I played well enough to get into the first round."
Bell and the rest of the seniors are lucky there is a second round. Sixteen seniors were taken in the second round last year and the NBA isn't about to turn its draft into a one-round affair. But not for the sake of seniors, but rather largely because of the benefits it brings from a European standpoint.
"The second round plays to the strength of the draft today," Weltman said. "You can draft a younger European player and bring him over later. I know having one round was bandied about in the collective bargaining agreement, but we've always taken advantage of the second round."
When Weltman was with the Clippers, the team selected Marko Jaric in the second round in 2000. Jaric spent the 2001-02 season in Italy before coming over to play in 2002-03. Now that Weltman is with the Nuggets, he's inherited their '99 second-round pick Francisco Elson out of California. Elson went back to his native Spain and Weltman said he's due to return next season to the Nuggets. Teams own a player's second-round rights for as long as they are playing somewhere on the globe. Knicks general manager Scott Layden said he's in favor of the second round, and why not? New York gets Milos Vujanic in another year (most likely 2004-05) after the 2002 second-round pick gets another season of seasoning at no cost to the Knicks in Yugoslavia.
"The second round is great for taking players who someone else took a pass on in the first round, or was afraid of them for some reason," said Weltman. Minnesota did exactly that with Loren Woods in 2001 after teams in the first round were afraid of his back injury. "The second round factors into the overall strategy of the draft. Second-round picks are very valuable."
The value of being selected in the second round to seniors, however, is nothing compared to the guarantee of the first round. But, it's from No. 30 to No. 58 where you'll find most of this season's college seniors, not to mention the stars of the Chicago pre-draft camp.

Even Pro-Life Christians Think Congressman Todd Akin Is "Extreme"
"He seems a little extreme."
Those were the words we were shocked to hear this morning when we spoke to a pro-life Christian leader about the idiotic comments made by Congressman Todd Akin about women being able to magically end a pregnancy when they're the victims of "legitimate rape."
Pastor Robert Fleischmann is the national director for the Christian Life Resources, a Jesus-y type group "intended to educate on the value and sanctity of human life."
Fleischmann penned an essay posted on the group's website yesterday that -- at first glance -- seems to defend Akin's moronic ramblings. That, he explains to the Voice, is not the case.

"What I was trying to point out is that we're barking up the wrong tree -- why are we even tackling this issue (abortions for rape victims)? I think we should go after the bigger picture."
Fleischmann, who identifies himself as a "pro-life" Christian, says that Akin's comments were incredibly insensitive, but that doesn't mean he's necessarily wrong. He admits that it doesn't make him right, either.
Fleischmann points to studies that show the trauma of rape can potentially cause women to become less fertile -- which backs up Akin's claim that "something happens" when a woman is raped that could potentially prevent pregnancy. He admits, however, that they are just studies, and nothing has been proven one way or another.
From Fleischmann's essay:
Taking Representative Akin's words in the best possible way we can accept his apology for failing to respect the high emotion of the rape issue. Now, how do the facts hold up?
Akin suggested that the emotional trauma of a rape creates some sort of natural birth control reflex in a woman's body. He does not say pregnancies never occur, but in fairness he does not acknowledge that fact either. Is he just clinging in hearsay and rumor?
Right now news sources are quick to repeat the familiar mantra that a pregnancy occurs in 5% of rape cases. It is a 16-year old statistic lifted from a study of 4,008 women. A 1982 study of 692 women suggested the chance of pregnancy occurring from a rape to be between 2% and 4%. While statistically 2% to 5% is not a large percentage, for the victim the prospect no matter how remote emotionally compounds an already traumatic event.
But let's be honest here - Akin violated the emotional sanctity of this topic with his term, "legitimate rape." We now want to know the accuracy of his statement. Emotionally, there is no debate that even 2% is 2% too much. Is it true that the trauma of the rape reduces the chances for pregnancy?
I have yet to see a study that demonstrates some sort of contraceptive effect from a rape. I do believe, however, it is not an unwarranted conclusion.
Fleischmann, who comes across as reasonable and respectful in his defense of the pro-life movement, says the anti-abortion crowd tends to focus more on "what they're against" than what they're for: life.
"[The pro-life movement] is always characterized by the lowest denominator," he says. "Someone shoots an abortion doctor and [the pro-life movement] as a whole gets a bad name. I'd rather say 'let's sit down and talk about it.'"
Fleischmann, while not a radical, doctor-shooting maniac, maintains that there are alternatives to abortions for rape victims.
"I would rather them go to a shelter. I'm much more of an advocate of what I'm for, not what I'm against," he says. "I'm not in favor of compounding one sin with another sin. I'd rather help people through [the trauma of rape]."
Regardless of your stance on abortion, one thing is clear: Congressman Todd Akin has achieved "lowest denominator" status -- and he's running for the United States Senate (sigh).

Spokane council to reexamine decision on STEP
The Spokane Tribe Economic Project has taken a small step closer to becoming a reality.
At their Feb. 3 meeting, Spokane's City Council introduced a resolution that would rescind an earlier one regarding the council taking a position on the development project.
The project, which would be located off Highway 2 and Craig Road, will consist of a resort casino, hotel, and commercial facilities. It will also feature a Tribal Cultural center and a police and fire station.
In March 2012, the council passed a resolution opposing the project based on the perceived detriment that it would cause to Fairchild Air Force Base. At that time, the Final Environmental Impact Statement was still in its comment period. The Bureau of Indian Affairs published the West Plains Mixed use Development FEIS in February 2013. Since then, the council has found the 2012 resolution was not consistent with the findings in the FEIS.
Through its FEIS, the BIA was able to determine that the project would invest over $350 million in Spokane County, generate revenues for several types of businesses and create over 5,000 jobs in the county. It also determined that the project would not have a negative effect on Fairchild Air Force Base, which has been one of the worries and criticisms of the project.
In addition to the BIA's study, the Federal Aviation Administration released a study in December 2013 where it determined the project would not be a hazard to air navigation around the base. The FAA had previously issued a letter in 2010 where it stated the roject would not affect flight patterns.
Prior to the FAA's study, Spokane Tribal Council contracted with Madison Government Affairs Inc., to assess the project. The study found the only encroachment to the air force base pertained to a small mobile home park south of the base. Critics from Greater Spokane Incorporated denounced the assessment, saying it was disingenuous and could be discredited.
GSI Director of Policy, Sandra Jarrard, said her company is not against the project itself, but rather the location. She said Air Force pilots would have to alter their flight plans to avoid the development. She mentioned there is also an issue of public safety.
"We want to ensure that we have Fairchild for present and future generations," Jarrad said.
The Spokane Tribe is in an agreement with Spokane County and the city of Airway Heights and Cheney for services at the site. At the Feb. 10 study session, Airway Heights' Mayor Patrick Rushing said the project is in coherence with the Joint Use Land Study. Rushing will attend the Feb. 24 Spokane City Council meeting to answer questions on behalf of the city.
Contact Rudy Peone, Spokane Tribal Council Chairman, mentioned he would attend the city council meeting and hopes council passes the new resolution.
The resolution not only rescinds the council's previous resolution, but also encourages the U.S. Secretary of the Interior to review the FEIS in making a two-part determination as to whether or not the project is in the best interests of the Spokane Tribe and is not detrimental to the neighboring community.
If the secretary approves the project, Gov. Jay Inslee will be presented with the FEIS. He must concur with the secretary's determination before gaming can occur on the site.

Letters to the editor: NIMBY mentality doomed terminal
Kudos to letter writer Jeff Gault for telling it how it is in Erie ("Resistance to change defeated rail project," Erie Times-News, May 18).
I moved to Erie from Pittsburgh 10 years ago and I have always been amazed at the backlash created by every progressive proposal designed to improve our city -- convention center, bayfront hotel, etc. I will always support well-planned projects that will improve Erie. The rail project was one of these.
This was an important part of the plan to make Erie a major inland port, creating jobs and making our city attractive to new businesses. But the "not in my backyard" mentality has changed everything that so many people have worked so hard to create.
Of course, not all proposed projects are appropriate. My wife and I drove many times to rallies protesting the tires-to-energy plant -- a project that shouldn't be built anywhere. But the rail project wasn't going to pollute our air or water or make any loud noise or obnoxious odors. It would have created jobs and attracted new business. What kind of industry would Harborcreek residents support? I can't think of any.
Don BurkhartErie
strategy at issue
In an article by Kevin Flowers and Jim Martin, DevelopErie Chief Executive John Elliott sees a pattern of rejecting new ideas ("Many react to demise of rail project," Erie Times-News, May 14). As a result, he said, "There is a special challenge for Erie making its way in the modern world."
In case you missed it, the intermodal idea wasn't rejected. It was the site selection and methods that DevelopErie used that were rejected. It was the fact that DevelopErie was buying property at twice the assessed value and announcing that its land use cannot be denied. It was their highhanded attitude while labeling people as aggressively ignorant. It was a lack of respect for the community. DevelopErie did not involve the community in the process.
DevelopErie came on like an organization with an endless flow of cash to be done with as it saw fit, no matter what. Is this how they sell their ideas? Is this how they win public opinion? DevelopErie has no one to blame for this but themselves.
The "special challenge" is for County Council to gain some control over the organization it created and for the board of DevelopErie to rethink its strategy.

Towing issue
still sizzles
On May 14, a joint public hearing was held in Harrisburg on the state police emergency third-party towing pilot program.
This hearing was in response to the implications that this public program was initiated by AutoReturn in California. The hearing was attended by legislators, the Pennsylvania State Police, AutoReturn, the Pennsylvania Towers Association and more than 100 Pennsylvania tow operators.
The hearing lasted more than five hours and was the largest since the balancing of the budget.
In December 2013, PSP and AutoReturn contracted to become a third-party dispatch operator for local tow companies to the scene of an accident. The program was implemented without any input from consumers, who will ultimately be paying more in fees, without any input from the first responders on the delayed response time, and without any input from generations of Pennsylvania tow responders regarding how and who should implement this program. There was no consideration given to taxpayers.
AutoReturn makes the tow company responsible to charge the consumer an additional $35 administration charge plus other tow charges; $22.50 out of the $35 is sent to AutoReturn in California.
This program harms many tow businesses that want to charge a fair towing price. It affects the consumers by charging them additional fees, which will ultimately increase insurance premiums. It harms Pennsylvania's economy by sending $22.50 to California instead of keeping it local. It lowers PSP regulations on the businesses doing these tows, which puts consumers and first responders at greater safety risk.
After many failed attempts to find out where Gov. Tom Corbett stands on this issue, the issues of keeping Pennsylvania revenue in Pennsylvania, I find that I will explore other options. If any political candidate is too afraid to speak up against issues that are hurting Pennsylvania residents, small businesses and Pennsylvania's economy, he or she does not have my vote nor the best interests of citizens in mind.

ATV incident,
damage severe
A truck was burned in the early hours of Easter Sunday on a dirt bike track on Lake Pleasant Road. Belle Valley Hose Company was called out to extinguish the blaze. You did not read about it in this paper, nor did you see it on the evening news, but I think the public should know of this and other incidents occurring at about the same time.
The National Fuel Gas gate on Henderson Road was broken so that ATVs, four-wheelers and dirt bikes could enter the gas line easement on private property. Pipes marking the location of the gas lines were pulled out of the ground or driven over. Those who did this made a pretty good mess of National Fuel Gas' equipment on private property. If you use gas provided by NFG, perhaps you will help pay for the repairs. Friends who live on Henderson Road have told me that the machines were driven up and down the road and through the woods until 4 a.m. on Easter morning.
These riders often come across the railroad bed that runs through Belle Valley, and have damaged that line too. I really don't know how law enforcement or the local courts feel about this hooliganism, but I have talked to quite a few people who are fed up with the damage, the noise and the trespassing.
We need larger fines of at least $1,000 per incident, and possibly the loss of driving privileges. If the penalties become severe enough, perhaps the scofflaws will behave a little better.
