Meet the 2014/15 Scholars
In 2014, BAFTA offered support to British nationals wishing to study in Hong Kong, and residents of Hong Kong looking to study in the UK with support from the Yip Foundation.
Tian Macleod Ji
Tian Macleod Ji, from Oxford, was awarded a scholarship to study the MFA in Creative Media at City University of Hong Kong and mentoring support from an industry professional in Hong Kong.
BAFTA introduced Tian to Craig Leeson, CEO of award-winning Hong Kong-based production company Leeson Media, who mentored him during his studies. The two met regularly, and Tian helped Craig as assistant producer on various shoots, as well joining him at Shaw Studios during the sound engineering for a documentary.
Tian also met industry professionals at a BAFTA event in Hong Kong with BAFTA-nominated and Oscar-winning make-up artist Lois Burwell as well as fellow scholar Wan Pin Chu, a Hong Kong resident studying in the UK, and the two BAFTA Scholars collaborated on a film project.
Recently Tian was selected by City University for a a paid position on a filmmaking and media art expedition to the caves of Vietnam.
Tian said: "With the scholarship I have been given an incredibly supportive financial backing, which will allow me to devote myself to the course, without having to work simultaneous to studying. BAFTA has also introduced to me to an inspirational mentor, who is a successful director and producer based in Hong Kong. This is invaluable in laying the foundation for a career in filmmaking, which I intend to pursue."
The BAFTA Yip Foundation Scholarship
Wan Pin Chu
Wan Pin Chu was awarded the BAFTA Yip Foundation Scholarship towards the MComp in Composition for Screen at the Royal College of Music (RCM) in London and mentoring support from an industry professional in the UK.
Wan was raised in Hong Kong and first came to the UK to study for a BMus in Musicology and Composition at King's College London. During his time in London, he has also received tuition in violin at the Royal Academy of Music. Wan has won multiple national and international competitions playing the traditional Chinese instrument the Erhu. Whilst in the UK he has composed music for documentaries, animations and student films, including two short films that screened at The National Gallery in London and a documentary that was performed by the RCM Orchestra.
BAFTA introduced Wan to music supervisor Maggie Rodford (The Lion King, Gladiator, The King's Speech) who he mets regularly for advice on his work. Maggie connected Wan with BAFTA-nominated composers Patrick Doyle and Dario Marianelli, and arranged for Wan to meet composer Christian Henson.
Since becoming a BAFTA Scholar Wan has co-scored a BBC documentary and has worked on music for commercials to air in Hong Kong and mainland China.
Wan said: "I feel honoured and grateful that BAFTA granted me this scholarship. Not only does it mean that I can continue my studies without much financial burden, it gives me opportunity to work with and learn from the best composers and film directors in the industry. This opportunity is priceless."
Wan and Tian together in Hong Kong in the summer of 2014

Romney: Middle-Income Reaches to $250,000
Mitt Romney said Friday that households making $200,000 to $250,000 fall within his definition of middle income.
"Middle-income is $200,000 to $250,000 and less," Mr. Romney said in an interview on ABC's Good Morning America.
At the time, Mr. Romney was defending his across-the-board tax-cut plan from President Barack Obama's charge that it would require raising taxes on the middle class. "No one can say my plan is going to raise taxes on middle-income people," he said. Asked by interviewer George Stephanopoulos whether his cutoff for middle-income is $100,000 (as some commentators have suggested), Mr. Romney explained that it's $200,000 to $250,000.

For Mr. Romney, whose net worth could be as much as $250 million, it was a potentially awkward moment, one that could underscore perceptions among some that he's a bit out of touch with average families' kitchen-table concerns.
Median household income in the U.S. is just over $50,000 these days.
Mr. Obama has consistently called for extending Bush-era tax levels on income less than $250,000 for married couples, and less than $200,000 for singles but letting the tax cuts lapse for income above those levels. And he has clearly equated that to protecting middle-income taxpayers.
"Most people agree that we should not raise taxes on middle-class families or small businesses — not when so many folks are just trying to get by," Mr. Obama said in early July, at a White House event where he called for extending the Bush-era tax cuts on income below $250,000, at least for another year. "And that's why I'm calling on Congress to extend the tax cuts for the 98% of Americans who make less than $250,000 for another year."
He added a moment later: "We should all agree to extend the tax cuts for the middle class. Let's agree to do what we agree on. Right?"

Love, Love, Love this wig! A must have!!
After seeing a review of this wig on YouTube I had to have it! I was not disappointed!! This wig is out of the pack ready to wear! Styles so easy too! There are no combs, just adjustable straps, but she fits sung and very comfortable. I did bobby pin her in the back because she tends to ride up a bit. The nape area does lie flat though and I had to shave my neck area and line it up to make the unit look more natural. I have it in the color OM30GOLD, just BEAUTIFUL!! My BFF wants one now!
- I love the color, OM30GOLD and ease of styling.

I Am the Cheese
by Robert Cormier
Character Clues
Character Analysis
Names are super important in this book. First, three of our main characters have legally changed their names: most important, Paul Delmonte has become Adam Farmer. The change in names implies a change of identity – more on that in the "Themes: Identity" section.
And how about the names themselves? They tell us a lot about the characters. Adam's dad is quick to point out the symbolic importance of Adam's new name: "Look at the name they selected for you – Adam. [...] Adam: new birth, first man" (23.22). This is true in terms of Adam's new birth under the Witness Re-Establishment Program, and it later speaks to his amnesia: every bike ride Adam takes is the first for him; every day is a new birth. Also, remember when biblical Adam ate the fruit and went from blissful ignorance to the acquisition of forbidden knowledge? Adam Farmer learns some forbidden knowledge too.
Then, of course, there's Mr. Grey. This is classic chicken-and-egg: which came first, the grayness of the man or the name? We can't be sure, especially because we don't even know if this is his real name (he also goes by Thompson). What we do know is that he really embodies his name; as Adam describes him:
[T]here was something – gray about him. His hair was gray. But more than that: to me, gray is a nothing color and that's how Mr. Grey seemed to me. Like nothing. (22.1)
While characters in this book are only explicitly described through Adam's eyes, their actions speak loud and clear for themselves. For example, the sacrifice Adam's dad made – risking his life and that of his family in order to reveal government corruption – shows that he is a man of integrity and honor. And of course, his decision to relocate his family, which meant giving up his beloved career and hometown, was another sacrifice, meant to protect the people he loved.
The fact that the author uses actions to paint characters makes it all the more difficult to understand the characters who don't really do anything. Brint, for example. He just talks, he never does. Even trickier to figure out is Mr. Grey. At the end of the book (spoiler alert!) someone drives a car into the Farmer family, killing Adam's mom. It might have been Mr. Grey, but we don't know. And because we don't know what this man did (or didn't do), we can't say for sure whether he's a good guy or a bad guy.
Speech and Dialogue
Luckily, we have another tool of characterization that makes up for someone like Brint's lack of action: speech and dialogue. Brint asks a lot of questions, and the impatience and insistence with which he asks them shows that he is trying in some way to manipulate Adam. Until the end, we're not sure exactly what information he's trying to get from him, but it's clear that he's fishing for something.
Adam's mom, another character who doesn't do too much in the book, is also characterized by her speech. What stands out to us is the way she so often directly addresses her family members (e.g. "That's the trouble, Adam" [26.15]). She does the same thing with her husband and sister. If you think about it, using someone's name like that when you talk to them isn't all that common. It almost always conveys a feeling of love and care, which Adam's mom is filled with. She also says things like "Now, now," (2.2) – you know, the kind of expression you hate when your mom says to you. It's endearing here though, right?

Kaymak: A Real Turkish Delight
read moreread less
One of my favorite foods in Turkey (and there are many) is a serving of fresh kaymak clotted cream, drizzled with honey, and spread on bread. You can buy it in the supermarket or find it in some breakfast spots, but everyone's favorite is Pando in Beşiktaş. It's getting a bit over-discovered (especially on weekends) and Pando is getting a bit old and crochety, but it's still a delicious spot to fuel up before taking a ferry to the Asian side or walking up to Ortakoy.

Non-standard SQL generated in column definition for nullable columns in create table DDL
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Database layer (models, ORM)
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
While doing backend testing for new DB2 adapter (I am developing it), I found that in CREATE TABLE DDL generation, it contains some non-standard SQL syntax.
Here is one example of model.
class User(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField(max_length=20, null=False) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=20, null=True) class Meta: db_table = "temp_user"
For the column last_name, the SQL that gets generated is LAST_NAME VARCHAR(20) NULL. The trailing NULL is not a standard SQL. This can be validated by the SQL validator tool - http://developer.mimer.com/validator/parser200x/index.tml Needless to say, this will fail in DB2 and so too in Oracle.
I find only one method in the docs which deals with the table DDL generation BaseDatabaseCreation.sql_create_model.

comment:1 Changed 8 years ago by mtredinnick
- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
No database on earth implements the same subset of SQL, so references to the standard, with all its optional bits and non-standard extensions in implementation, isn't too helpful either way. However, if a database doesn't support something, we should make sure it's not required. Practice always trumps theory.
In this case, the solution is probably just to not include the NULL. NOT NULL is permitted, so we include that for null=False fields and use the fact that columns should be nullable by default.
Ambrish: it's only NULL that is causing a problem on db2, right? NOT NULL is fine?
We still need to check that this works sufficiently on all the other backends (including getting some confirmation from Ramiro Morales about MS SQL). If there's an inconsistency in requirements, it will need an addition of another BaseDatabaseFeature function.

it's only NULL that is causing a problem on db2, right? NOT NULL is fine?
With DB2, only NULL is causing a problem and with NOT NULL there are no issues.

Not Quite As Good As An Advance Copy of Harry Potter, But . . .
The independent counsel's report in the case of former HUD secretary Henry Cisneros will be made public today. The New York Times has already read it, and calls the 746-page tome "a scathing report accusing Clinton administration officials of thwarting an inquiry into whether Mr. Cisneros evaded paying income taxes."
The author of the report is independent counsel David M. Barrett, whose investigation into Cisneros's misdeeds lasted over a decade, making it the longest independent counsel investigation in history. (The independent counsel law lapsed six years ago after everyone grew tired of these protracted government investigations.)

My Go To for Oil Painting
By Colorado Painter
from Silverthorne, CO
Comments about Ampersand Hardbords:
I use nothing but Hardboard for my painting surface. Archival and easy to use, a few layers of gesso provide an excellent base for oils. I like harder surfaces as opposed to the flexibility of canvas and I prefer the unprimed Hardboard vs. the Gessoboard panels by Ampersand.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very much like these panel boards and brand!
Light, Sturdy, Smooth.
By Sepia
from ATX
I love these! I keep a stack of the smaller sizes around for studies and quick mini originals; the combination of it being both solid and cheap makes it perfect for being able to sell studies that come out nicely. No fear of cracking in temp changes like with wood, and not as much warping.

By mdk

I had been using the cheaper hardboards, but there wasn't an 8x10 available and I need that size for my pochade box so I picked these up instead. Fabulous quality boards! I use them to tape my watercolor paper for use in my box. Slides right into the holder made for 8x10 canvas and works perfectly!
Great Materials

I rely on the quality of the hardboard's and it is excellent time after time. I have used hundreds all with the same great level of quality and fast delivery.
Better than making my own!
By Supreme Commander
from In the Salish Sea
I built my own masonite panels for years -- byt the time I factor in my own labor, it's much cheaper to buy the Ampersand product.
Ampersand Hardbord--online purchase
By Patrick Parnell Photography
from San Francisco, CA
I use these "cradled" hardbords for mounting digital photography and they are great: edges are finished, face is flat, and they're ready to go immediately. Price/value is even better when they are on sale.

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) under 33 CFR 117.5 requires that except as otherwise authorized by this part, drawbridges must open promptly and fully for the passage of vessels when a request or signal to open is given in accordance with this subpart. Presently, one bridge over the Apalachicola River is listed as having a special operating schedule under 33 CFR 117 Subpart B—Specific Requirements. Under 33 CFR 117.258, the draw of the CSX Railroad bridge at River Junction, mile 105.9 on the Apalachicola River, shall open on signal Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. At all other times the bridge will open on signal if at least four hours notice is given. This rule proposes to change the notice required for opening from four hours to eight hours for the CSX Railroad bridge.
A second bridge, the ANRR bridge at mile 4.5 on the Apalachicola River, (GIWW mile 347.0 EHL) in Apalachicola does not have a specific operating schedule, opening as required under 33 CFR 117.5. The Port of St. Joe, FL, owner of the bridge, has taken the rail line out of service and has an embargo to cease train operations for Port St. Joe and north of the Apalachicola River due to the absence of shipments coming in/out of Port St. Joe. While the embargo remains in effect, the operator of the bridge, ANRR, requests to maintain the swing bridge in the open-to-navigation position in accordance with 33 CFR 117.41. This rule proposes to add an operating schedule specific to the ANRR bridge under 33 CFR 117.258, stating that the bridge will be maintained in the open-to-navigation position.
Prior to the requests to change the operating schedules for these two bridges, no previous requests for changes have been received. These requests were initiated without consultation of waterway users but the USCG Bridge Administration Office in New Orleans was consulted for guidance on how to comply with the requirements of 33 CFR 117.41.
C. Basis and Purpose Back to Top
The CSX swing bridge across the Apalachicola River, mile 105.9, presently opens on signal for the passage of vessels Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. At all other times, the bridge opens on signal if at least four hours advanced notice is given. The bridge owner has requested to change the operation regulations to reflect usage of the bridge by mariners. The request was made based upon a documented decrease in the number of requests for openings in the last three years. In 2010, the bridge opened 12 times for the passage of vessels. Eight of those openings were for either a United States Coast Guard (USCG) vessel or for a United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) vessel. In 2011, the bridge opened four times for the passage of vessels. Three of those openings were for either a USCG vessel or for a USACE vessel. Thus far in 2012, the bridge has only opened one time for a USACE vessel. It should be noted that all of the openings in the past three years have occurred between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.; therefore, the bridge opened on signal for their passages. Information gathered regarding the decrease in vessel movements indicates that the lack of commercial facilities and the lack of maintenance on the waterway have contributed to the decline in traffic. While water elevations may return to their pre-drought levels, there is presently no evidence that the number of requests for bridge openings will increase in the future due to limited industrial development along the waterway. Accordingly, the bridge owner requested to change the operation regulations so that the bridge is allowed to open on signal at all times if at least eight hours advanced notification is given. USACE and USCG units using the waterway indicated that the proposed change to the operation of the bridge will not affect their ability to maintain the waterway and they have no objections to the proposed change.
The ANRR swing span bridge crosses the Apalachicola River at mile 4.5 (GIWW mile 347.0 EHL) and is required to open on signal for the passage of vessels. Since the bridge owner applied for and received an embargo for the suspension of train traffic on the line, the operation of the bridge is unnecessary and the operator of the bridge requested permission to leave the bridge in the open-to-navigation position and have the bridge untended. The bridge provides unlimited vertical clearance and 119 feet of horizontal clearance in the open-to-navigation position. Transit times for mariners should not be impeded with the bridge left in the open-to-navigation position. The bridge owner/operator will be required to maintain all bridge navigation lights in proper working order and will be required to periodically check the lights to see that they are working.
D. Discussion of Proposed Rule Back to Top
The proposed rule for the CSX Railroad Bridge will require all vessels wishing to transit through the bridge site and needing the bridge to be opened for their passage to provide eight hours advanced notification. The proposed rule will require mariners to provide an additional four hours of advanced notification of arrival to transit through the bridge. For vessels wishing to transit through the bridge site between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, these vessel operators will now be required to contact the bridge owner at least eight hours prior to transiting the bridge. As all openings in the past three years have been during the day, this requirement will be new to any vessels wishing to transit through the bridge site during these time frames. Several government vessels transit the waterway past the bridge site to conduct maintenance on the waterway. USACE and USCG units transiting the waterway indicated that the proposed change to the operation of the bridge will not affect their ability to maintain the waterway and they have no objections to the proposed change.
The proposed rule for the ANRR bridge should not cause any undue burden on any vessels as the bridge will remain in the open-to-navigation position and allow all vessels presently using the waterway at the bridge site to transit the bridge site without delay.
E. Regulatory Analyses Back to Top
We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on 14 of these statutes or executive orders.
1. Regulatory Planning and Review
This proposed rule is not a "significant regulatory action" under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Order 12866 or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
We consider the changes proposed in this rule to be minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. Very few vessels will be impacted by the proposed changes and those few vessels should be able to provide adequate advanced notification of their arrivals as is already done for the CSX Railroad bridge and vessels may transit through the ANRR bridge without delay as it will be maintained in the open-to-navigation position.
2. Impact on Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have considered the impact of this proposed rule on small entities. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
This proposed rule would affect the following entities, some of which might be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels needing to transit the Apalachicola River above mile 105.9. This action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because these few vessels should be able to provide adequate advanced notification of their arrivals as is already done on this waterway for three other movable bridges located upstream and downstream of this bridge.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what degree this rule would economically affect it.
3. Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small entities in understanding this proposed rule so that they can better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.
4. Collection of Information
This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
5. Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for federalism.
6. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters. Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the "For Further Information Contact" section to coordinate protest activities so that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or security of people, places or vessels.
7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule would not affect a taking of private property or otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights.
9. Civil Justice Reform
This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
10. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might disproportionately affect children.
11. Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.
12. Energy Effects
This proposed rule is not a "significant energy action under Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use because it is not a "significant regulatory action" under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects under Executive Order 13211.
13. Technical Standards
This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
14. Environment
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland Security Management Directive 023-01, and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made a preliminary determination that this action is not likely to have a significant effect on the human environment. This proposed rule involves the regulation of drawbridge operations. This rule is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 32(e) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.
List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 117 Back to Top
For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR part 117 as follows:
PART 117—DRAWBRIDGE OPERATION REGULATIONS Back to Top
1. The authority citation for part 117 continues to read as follows:
2. In § 117.258, a new paragraph (a) is added and the current regulation is revised and redesignated as paragraph (b) to read as follows:
§ 117.258 Apalachicola River.
(a) The draw of the Apalachicola and Northern Railroad Bridge, mile 4.5 (GIWW mile 347.0 EHL), at Apalachicola, is maintained in the fully open-to-navigation position and untended. The bridge will not be returned to service until proper notification is published in Federal Register.
(b) The draw of the CSX Railroad Bridge, mile 105.9, at River Junction shall open on signal if at least eight hours notice is given.
Dated: July 13, 2012.
Peter Troedsson,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard,Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District,Acting.

Database type is not an issue.
There are two problems in your configuration:
1. The security configuration difference can cause import failure because of the access control settings.
2. Since the two system might have been installed independent of each other, the object IDs are likely not the same.
Using "empty-portal" config task on the target system, you may be able to solve the second problem. Be careful. It's strongly recommended to back up your systems, but source and target.
To resolve the first issue, you may have to configure both systems to the same LDAP, or you can modify the export XML file to change all access control to match the users and groups of the target system. Then the import would not cause conflicts.
It sounds like a lot of work. Maybe it's better to open a PMR if you don't feel comfortable of doing it on your own.

Birthday cake for Kansas lightened the atmosphere at a discussion about a dark part of the state's 152-year history.
Leonard Zeskind, president of the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights in Kansas City, Mo., presented "Hidden, Forgotten and Denied: Racism and Anti-Semitism in the State of Kansas." The program was presented by the Washburn Center for Kansas Studies in recognition of Kansas Day, Jan. 29.
Zeskind is an internationally recognized expert on the history of the white supremacist movement. He also is a human rights activist. He spent more than 15 years researching and writing the book "Blood and Politics: The History of the White Nationalist Movement from the Margins to the Mainstream."
"I stand up and talk about really rotten stuff," Zeskind told the crowd of more than 70 people Monday afternoon in the Henderson Learning Resources Center. Zeskind said the ideal of white superiority has been held by some Kansans as far back as the Lecompton Constitution, grew in the 1920s with the national rise of the Klu Klux Klan, and continued with Hitler sympathizers during World War II, Posse Comitatus in the 1980s, the militia movements of the 1990s and even continues today.
Estimates suggest that in 1924 there was one member of the Klan in Kansas for every 7.5 adult white residents, Zeskind said. Members included law makers and enforcement officers and numerous professionals.
Discussion about the present day ranged from voter suppression issues to immigration.
Zeskind explained that since the passage of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which in part defines citizenship, white nationalist groups have asserted that there are differences between "14th Amendment Citizens" and themselves. He said current debates, including voter suppression and immigration, often are tinged with similar rhetoric. When asked what an individual Kansan could do to help stop voter suppression efforts, Zeskind turned to a moral framework.
"Are we as Americans going to let other Americans vote? You have to stand up and say something that invokes a moral power."
These aren't Kansas-only problems, Zeskind said. And none of the movements he discussed originated in Kansas.
"Every state struggles to find the appropriate response," he said. "Denying the facts of the case doesn't change the case. Celebrate the anniversary of the state's founding and the promise of the state's future by setting a strong moral barrier."
Kansas became a state Jan. 29, 1861.

hydraulic conductivity
Definition: ease of pressure filtration of a liquid through a membrane; specifically, Kf = η(Q/A) (΄x/΄P), where Kf = hydraulic conductivity, η = viscosity of the liquid being filtered, Q/A = volume of liquid filtered per unit time and unit area, and ΄x/΄P = reciprocal of the pressure gradient through the membrane; solute concentrations should be identical on both sides of the membrane. Also applied more loosely to measurements on a total membrane of unknown area and thickness with unmeasured fluid viscosity (K = Q/΄P).

Windows ACLs are applied in a certain order to be effective. Back in the WinNT and Windows 2000 days, the command-line utilities to modify file-permissions could cause problems if you blindly added/removed things. For example, if you were granting a group Modify permissions when they'd previously been granted R/O, it would add a second ACL with Modify and the ACL list would still have both.
They've since fixed this in the command-line utilities. However, this means that the various other utilities over the years have had to be modified to handle the old-broken behavior, and that's the dialog you see when you encounter it.
It is safe to click 'Fix'.

Barons' season ends in GACC quarterfinals with loss to
By Terry Gaston
MOUNT VERNON -- Brewton-Parker College's stay in the Georgia-Alabama-Carolina Conference men's basketball postseason tournament, to which it played host at the Student Activities Center, proved to be short-lived when the Barons lost a first-round game that coach Steve Barker feared immensely.
Reinhardt College, with All-Conference and GACC All-Academic selection Sam Allen leading the charge, held on for a 72-69 win despite some late Brewton-Parker breaks to knock the No. 3 seeded Barons out of the GACC tournament in front of the Barons' largest home crowd of the season.
After scoring two close wins over Reinhardt with a margin that totaled five points, including a one-point win at home on Feb. 20, Barker knew the Eagles - despite their unimposing 15-17 regular-season record and No. 6 tournament seeding - were a team to be respected.
"They are a lot like us in that they can all shoot, and one of them who made two 3s all year long made one," said Barker, who watched the Eagles go 5-for-11 (46 percent) from 3-point range while the Barons were just 6-for-29 (37 percent) from the arc. "On this day, they were the better team."
After trailing Reinhardt 65-50 with 6:12 remaining, Brewton-Parker (20-13) scored nine unanswered points to close within nine and climbed to within two at 71-69 with 12.1 seconds left after a 7-0 run junior guard Jarvis Smith ended with a coast-to-coast lay-up.
A bad in-bounds pass gave the Barons back the ball at their end, but senior guard Gabe Bubon missed a 3-point attempt. Junior post Hector Solano pulled down the rebound and was fouled with 6.1 ticks remaining but missed the front end of the one-and-one.
Junior guard Ben McGlynn grabbed the rebound but had a shot attempt blocked by Reinhardt junior center Deandre Cowan, who pulled in the rebound and called time with 2.1 seconds left.
After a foul, junior guard Reggie Taylor gave the Eagles a three-point lead with the second of two free throws. The Barons caught a break on the long in-bounds pass that Barons senior guard Derrick Hairston batted back to hit a Reinhardt player and go out of bounds on the Brewton-Parker end.
However, the in-bounds pass to McGlynn with one second remaining left a too long and difficult game-tying basket.
The Barons opened the game with a 9-2 run in the first five minutes before Reinhardt scored 10 unanswered points to lead 12-9 with 13:40 left in the first half.
The teams traded leads four times during the rest of the half, with the Eagles taking a 32-24 advantage with five minutes left before the Barons cut the margin to two on sophomore post Bryan Jett's tip-in two seconds before halftime.
Hairston completed his Baron career with a team-leading effort of 19 points, and Jett followed with 12. Sophomore guard Toms Lokmanis had a team-high eight rebounds and sophomore guard Tre Hill had a game-high eight assists.
Allen, a senior guard, led the Eagles with a game-high 22 points and made seven assists. Allen got support with 14 points from sophomore center Terrance Scarbrough and 13 from junior forward Gathan White.
"I think a lot of people would love to have 20 wins," said Barker, whose team recovered from a 4-6 start to win 16 of its next 20 games but finished with three straight losses. "It was an exciting season, we stayed on top of the conference, either by ourselves or sharing the lead, for a month.
"We controlled our own destiny but we didn't take care of business. For the most part, I am pleased with the season, though I feel we still should be going to the national tournament."
Reinhardt was just one of three lower seeds to win in Thursday's first round. Southern Wesleyan University (S.C.), which needed a play-in victory Wednesday to make the first round, kept its winning going with a 75-67 win over No. 2 seed Auburn University of Montgomery (Ala.) to set up a "Cinderella" semifinal Friday night.
Top-seeded Faulkner University was the only one of the top four seeds to make the semifinals but had to work before rolling to an 81-62 win over North Georgia College and State University. Fifth-seeded Georgia Southwestern State University dominated most of its quarterfinal game against fourth-seeded Southern Polytechnic State University before winning 94-86.
Faulkner and Reinhardt continued their winning ways in Friday's semifinals. Faulkner held off Georgia Southwestern 72-71 and Reinhardt eliminated Southern Wesleyan 65-49 to earn an NAIA national tournament berth.
Faulkner, behind tournament Most Valuable Player and GACC Player of the Year Paul Little's 25 points and 13 rebounds, won Saturday's championship game over Reinhardt 73-71.

For France's Vieira, a Rough World Cup
ZURICH—The World Cup is proving to be a trying period for former French soccer captain and current commentator Patrick Vieira.
On the opening day of the tournament, the studio on Rio de Janeiro's glamorous Copacabana beach was pelted with rocks by protesters. Vieira, who is analyzing matches Britain's ITV broadcast of the games, was uninjured by the attack.
On Tuesday, Vieira's month got worse. Switzerland's tax office said it would send banking information linked to Vieira to its counterparts in Paris, who are investigating the World Cup winner who has now retired from playing.
The Swiss federal tax authority gives administrative assistance under a bilateral double taxation treaty between France and the Alpine country and intends to pass over Vieira's details. The French authorities didn't comment on the request.
Vieira, who declined to comment on the matter, enjoyed a trophy-laden career in England with Arsenal and Italy with Juventus and Internazionale after winning a World Cup with France in 1998. He is one of the most respected soccer pundits in the U.K.
Switzerland made public the planned transfer of banking documents in a weekly list of official announcements. The list showed that Switzerland had received an official request, but since the content of requests for administrative assistance is confidential, it couldn't say whether Vieira was suspected of doing anything wrong.
Vieira has 30 days to oppose the handover of his banking details. At least by then he will have finished giving his views on this year's tournament.

Some Enchanted Evening
The Simpsons season one
"Some Enchanted Evening" was the thirteenth non short Simpsons episode released on television. The episode dealt with Bart, Lisa, and Maggie being taken care of by a notorious "Babysitter Bandit".
Table of contents
Episode details
Production Number: 7G01
Original Air Date: May 13, 1990
Writers: Matt Groening and Sam Simon
Directors: David Silverman and Kent Butterworth
Blackboard: "I will not yell 'Fire' in a crowded classroom."
Couch Gag: The entire family tightly fits onto the couch.
Guest Voice: Penny Marshall as Ms. Lucille Botz and June Foray as the Rubber Baby Buggy Bumper Babysitting Service Receptionist
Marge is having a problem on another hectic morning. She decides to call Dr. Marvin Monroe, telling him about Homer and how much they love each other. Dr. Monroe suggests that Homer sees Marge as nothing. He advises Marge to get angry when Homer comes home. Feeling like he is a pig, Homer, on Moe's advice, gets Marge flowers and he treats her for a night at a fancy restaurant, dancing, and staying at a hotel room. Marge tries to call for a babysitter, but the receptionist rejects her call. Homer calls the same number for a babysitter by calling himself "Homer Sampson", and they send a babysitter to the house, Ms. Botz.
When Ms. Botz comes, she (on Marge's advice) makes Bart and Lisa watch a Happy Little Elves tape. They switch to America's Most Armed and Dangerous, watching a John Walsh-esque host say that Ms. Botz, the notorious "Babysitter Bandit", could be anywhere. Bart and Lisa try to make a run for it and hide from Ms. Botz, but she ties them up and forces them to sit at the couch. It's up to Maggie to save Bart and Lisa from Ms. Botz, because Maggie unties the rope, and the children defeat Ms. Botz, tying her up and calling America's Most Armed and Dangerous to inform them that they captured the Babysitter Bandit. In the meantime, as Homer and Marge stay at a hotel for the night, Marge tries to call home, but there's no answer, so they decide to go home. Homer and Marge untie Ms. Botz, and he gives her a big pay as she escapes from cops coming to the Simpson house. Homer is found to be a "local boob" for all this.
- This episode was the first Simpsons episode produced, but its air date was delayed due to Matt Groening calling for having to re-do the episode.
- The America's Most Armed and Dangerous show is a parody of another FOX network show, America's Most Wanted. The host of this parody is similar to the host of America's Most Wanted, John Walsh.
- Dr. Marvin Monroe: The pig has made you into his mother. You are not the hot love object you deserve to be!
Marge: Really?
Dr. Monroe: I'm as sure of it as my voice is annoying. Marge, tonight, the second he comes through that front door, you've got to tell him you're fed up, and if he doesn't start loving you, he will be leaving.
Marge: Leave Homer?
Dr. Monroe: Please, don't use his real name!
Marge: LEAVE PEDRO?
(the employees at Homer's work crack up)
- Lisa: Aw, come on, Bart, not again!
Bart: (dials the phone) Aw, where's your sense of humor, man?
Moe: Moe's Tavern.
Bart: Hello, is Al there?
Moe: Al?
Bart: Yeah, Al. Last name: Coholic.
Moe: Lemme check... Phone call for Al. Al Coholic! Is there an Al Coholic there? (bar denizens laugh) Wait a minute... Listen, you yellow-bellied jackass, if I ever find out where you are, I'm gonna kill you!!
- Moe: Hey, you can level with me. You got a domestic situation?
Homer: You might say that. My wife's gonna leave me 'cause she thinks I'm a pig.
Moe: Homer.
Homer: What?
Moe: Marge is right. You are a pig. You can ask anyone in this bar.
Homer: What?
Homer: Hey, Barney, am I a pig?
Barney: You're no more of a pig than I am. (belches loudly)
Homer: Oh, no!
Moe: See? You're a pig. Barney's a pig. Larry's a pig. We're all pigs. Except for one difference: Once in a while, we can crawl out of the slop, hose ourselves off, and act like human beings.

Abandoned and lost fishing gear makes up about 10 percent of the trash that collects in the world's oceans, according to a report from the United Nations. Much of this debris is lost in storms, vandalized or simply discarded. It piles up on beaches, creates a navigational hazard for boats or settles to the bottom, where it can damage sensitive ecosystems. Discarded nets can cause a particular problem as they continue to "ghost fish,"trapping fish and other sea animals like turtles, seabirds and dolphins.

How to Create Flash Animations Using PowerPoint
7 Jan
PowerPoint's a great authoring tool. You get a blank screen and some pretty cool animations. There's no reason that you can't mimic some of the same types of animations you see created with Flash. On top of that, if you use a rapid elearning application, like Articulate Presenter, you can publish the PowerPoint slides and convert them to Flash.
What Articulate Presenter does is convert each slide into its own Flash movie (.swf). The .swf will contain the slide content, with audio narration and any animations. These become a slide#.swf. You can take the slide.swf from the published data folder and use it as an independent Flash movie.
I like to insert them into web pages, wikis, or even other rapid elearning applications. In the demo below, I show you how to insert the slide.swf into an Articulate Engage interaction.
Here are the basic steps:
- Create a PowerPoint slide with some animation
- Sync the animation with narration using Articulate Presenter
- Publish the slide show in Articulate Presenter
- Go to the published data folder and locate the slide.swf.
- You can use the .swf elsewhere.

If I am understanding correctly, you and your friend have tried using the
software VPN which you can set up in Windows, correct? If that's the case,
then I would recommend looking into getting a couple of VPN routers and
using those to establish the tunnel. This takes the overhead of the tunnel
off of your individual PCs. The other idea is to use a software VPN like
Hamachi (www.hamachi.cc, which is free) or OpenVPN (google for it, I don't
have the address handy, though I think it's www.openvpn.org) Both of these
are software VPNs but they are reasonably faster than the connection Windows
lets you create. I am currently using Hamachi for my PCs and I love it.
The only drawback (currently) is that version 0.9.9 doesn't allow running as
a service. This is corrected in the pre-release v1, but I am waiting for
the public release of v1 before upgrading it.
Your file transfers through a tunnel will be from your PC to your friend's
PC so your friend's upload speed plays into your download speeds and vice
versa, as well.

Not everything worth seeing in the Dominican Republic is located in the coastal regions. In fact, if you're looking for a unique experience and quiet way of life, you might find that Dominican Republic homes for sale in the interior are more your style. As this tourism video highlights, there is just as much beauty once you reach the peaks of the Central Range.
Constanza is a popular destination for its scientific reserve, national parklands, and the land for sale that you can find here. You'll also find unique archaeological features that tell the story of the cultures that lived here long before European explorers ever set foot in the country.
Whether you visit the rural, mountainous terrain as part of a vacation tour, or if you want to put down roots in a place that provides you with 360-degree vistas of this gorgeous country, you won't regret stepping away from the more popular beaches to see all that the Dominican Republic has to offer.

Riviera Oaks secures North County championship
Next stop: Sectional
tournament in L.A.
"We knew Vista would field a very strong, young team," said team captain Stacey Dusseault. "But we knew we were stronger. Their regular season record was 21-3, but we were an undefeated team capable of winning."
For the championship, the teams submit their line-up consisting of three co-ed teams. Both Vista and Riviera Oaks mixed up the strength in their line-ups (putting their strongest teams at lines 2 and 3 instead of lines 1 and 2), which ended up being a huge advantage to the Riviera Oaks team headquartered at Riviera Oaks Resort and Racquet Club at 25382 Pappas Road in San Diego Country Estates.
"It's always tough to strategize when you get to a championship level," said Dusseault. "But we knew any way we matched up against Vista we had the upper hand."
The first from Riviera Oaks to come off the court victorious was the team of Michael Moberg and Shelley Goodson.
"We were nervous for Mike going into the match, because he sat out an entire month before the match with a back injury," commented Dusseault.
But during the match, there was no sign of injury as Moberg and Goodson dominated the Vista team in just over an hour with a score of 6-1, 6-3.
The team that secured the overall match win for Riviera Oaks was the dominant team of Larry Mehelic and Tori Barlow.
"Larry and Tori played absolutely superior tennis," said Dusseault. "They defeated a team that in their seven matches of regular season play only lost an average of three games per match."
Mehelic and Barlow stunned the Vista team with a 6-1, 6-4 win to capture the title for Riviera Oaks.
Michael Mulligan and CorriAyn Harvey continued to battle Vista in an exciting match but were unable to secure a sweep and lost 6-2, 7-5.
"It was a close match that could have gone either way," said Dusseault. "Mike and CorriAyn played strong with a lot of heart."
The next goal for the team is the USTA Sectional Championships in September. The team will travel to Los Angeles to compete against teams from Southern California for a chance to represent Southern California at the USTA Nationals.
The format at the sectional tournament will be round-robin. Riviera Oaks will have to defeat three tough teams from Southern California.
"We've been told Southern California teams show up with a lot of depth," said Dusseault.
"We have a lot of work ahead of us to improve the depth on our team before September. We're up to the challenge and are looking forward to bringing home the championship to San Diego."

|Honda Motorsports Plans for 1998 (Automobile)
|Tokyo, January 20, 1998 --- Honda Motor Co., Ltd. announced today the following 4-wheel Motorsports Activity Plan for 1998, with Enjoy It as its main theme.
In 1997, Honda monopolized the top three positions in the PPG Cup (Drivers Champion Title) to win its second PPG CART World Series title in a row. On the domestic front, participation in the All Japan Touring Car Championship (JTCC) with the Accord led to the double title of Team and Drivers Champion, while entry in the All Japan GT Championship (JGTC) saw a number of battles and victories in the second half of the season. Other entries in Europe, America and Asia also led to many victories, highlighting another very successful season at home and abroad.
This year's program in North America calls for Honda Performance Development's (HPD) continued participation in the FedEx Championship Series, this year again in the role of engine supplier with a new engine for the season. In Europe, participation in the German ADAC Super Touring Car Race, as well as the British Auto Trader RAC Touring Car Championship will take place in the form of technical support to local teams.
In Japan, Honda will continue its promotion of racing activities through the one-make Civic races organized this year in five series and 34 races plus the F-1 Japan Grand Prix Civic Challenge Cup Race for a grand total of 35 races this season. The Honda One-make Motorsports Festival will continue as a series of 10 events widely open to the public. This year will also see the start in Japan of the Honda Logo License Course and One-make Race series, and of the City One-make Race in Thailand.
Honda will continue its technical support of Mugen Co., Ltd. in both F-1 engine development and the NSX's participation in the All Japan GT Championship.
At Twin Ring Motegi, work is proceeding toward the grand opening and the FedEx Championship Series' Budweiser 500 race scheduled in March 1998. This year again, Honda will continue its positive involvement in the development of motorsports activities, sharing the dreams and excitement with all the fans.

Health Reform: Generic Biotech, Medicare Drug Prices
So the House Energy and Commerce Committee managed to pass its version of the big health-care bill late Friday, before heading home for recess. The bill has one provision that many drug makers should be pleased with, and another that industry won't like.
The bill would guarantee biotech drugs 12 years of exclusivity, free from generic competition. Many in Congress have been pushing for a shorter exclusivity period — including Henry Waxman, the California Dem who chairs Energy and Commerce, who earlier this year introduced a separate bill that would give biotech drugs five years of guaranteed exclusivity, with the possibility of extensions.
Another provision would allow Medicare to negotiate prices for the prescription drugs provided under Medicare Part D. When the Medicare prescription drug benefit was created a few years back, the drug industry pushed hard for a provision that specifically banned Medicare from negotiating with drug makers over prices. Allowing such negotiations would be a big shift.
Of course, whether either of these provisions will become law is anybody's guess. They're tied up in one of the most contentious, complex pieces of legislation in recent memory, and it's a long way from the House floor to the President's desk.

Name: Plo Koon
Collection: The Legacy Collection
Number: SL 9
Source: Revenge Of The Sith
Availability: July 2008
License: Hasbro
Jedi Master Plo Koon is a member of the Jedi Council and comes from a long line of Jedi. Serving as a General in the Clone Wars, he leads a battalion of clone troopers against Separatist forces.
When the Revenge Of The Sith toy line was getting prepared for release, Hasbro took some shortcuts on some of the figures. Whether the shortcuts were intentional or inadvertent, figures like Plo Koon came up a bit lackluster and its authenticity just wasn't perfect. When the opportunity arose to get the fairly decent 2005 ROTS Plo Koon (III 16) sculpt back into the basic figure lineup, Hasbro pondered ways to make it better. Thankfully they came up with a great solution. Plo Koon just needed a good repainting (and a soft-goods cloak) to be "almost" perfect. And in the 30 (77-07) line, to introduce the Droid Factory concept, Hasbro issued the 2005 sculpt with an impressive all-new paint job. Some had criticized that the colors were too dark. We'd agree to that testament somewhat, but it's a heck of a lot better than the bright and too orange color used on the original release. Plo Koon still came without his distinguished soft-goods robe, but he came with his trusty astromech droid which made this completely forgivable with collectors). Because of the vastly improved paint operations, Hasbro thought that this updated Plo Koon would be a prime candidate for The Legacy Collection Saga Legends line. And it was at the time.
As stated, Plo Koon is a straight repack of the figure from 2008's TAC Plo Koon/R4-F5 Droid Factory (1 of 6) set. This figure however is a major repaint of 2005's ROTS Plo Koon (III 16) figure. Plo Koon comes with a ball-jointed head, two ball-jointed shoulders, two swivel elbows, two swivel wrists, a swivel waist, and two swivel hips. He has two more points of articulation which are quite curious. He has a ball-jointed (really hinge-jointed) right knee and a swivel left boot. And believe it or not, these two extra points give him a great array of movement, perhaps more than you expected. He also comes with a lightsaber to help round out his Jedi status. Plo Koon still sadly lacks his unique Jedi robe. It's desperately wanted by the collecting community and we're not sure why Hasbro has avoided making it in soft-goods for us. But until they release a Plo Koon action figure with it, we will still say that a definitive update is still needed. To Hasbro's credit, they did accurately base the figure of Plo Koon to his appearance in Episode III. He is not wearing his outer robes in the Jedi starfighter during the Order 66 sequence, so kudos to them for that. But that doesn't mean we want his Jedi robes any less.
The "big deal" pack-in for The Legacy Collection Saga Legends line is the "Battle Gear" locker of guns. You get seven extra weapons for Plo Koon (or any other figure in your collection). If you have other figures that have lost accessories throughout the years, then this is a great resource to help make them whole again. The only downside to the included pack-ins is that they're all the same and the gun selection gets rather repetitious quickly. Still, getting some extra plastic for free isn't a terrible thing and because these figures retail for $7.99, it helps take the some of the sting out of the high prices Star Wars action figures cost us anymore. Thankfully Hasbro has included the better version of Plo Koon for the Saga Legends line. But let's face it. The figure is far from perfection despite its improvements. But Hasbro has stated time and again that Saga Legends is geared to get popular figures back out to the market with an emphasis on what kids want. Plo Koon still may not be the most popular Star Wars character for kids, but it makes sense why they would choose him for this sub-line that complements the main basic figure lineup. And if you missed the Droid Factory release, here is your second chance.
Status: Plo Koon is a straight repack of the figure from 2008's TAC Plo Koon/R4-F5 Droid Factory (1 of 6) set.
