In a different universe than ours, the idea that the Academy Awards would one day be presided over by the likes of Seth MacFarlane would seem to be a godsend. A onetime insurgent in the Fox television conglomerate, MacFarlane is a guy who spun post-post-post-modern webs of non-sequitur animated bafflement into an empire of offensiveness. His favorite movie is The Sound of Music, he has a Broadway-ready singing voice, recorded a Grammy-nominated album of standards, is (for an animator) strangely comfortable before huge crowds, and his sense of humor ping-pongs from layered multi-referential ironies to vaguely cretinous bathroom stall jokes.
In other words, he ticks a lot of boxes, from purportedly shocking humor to bring in the young 'uns to classic glitzy "That's Entertainment!" revues that the old folks like. Of course, in reality, the young 'uns barely know what the Oscars are and the old folks are DVR'ing NCIS.

Richard: I think most of us saw this coming. Trump says he knows and hires the best people as he begins to work with his third campaign team this year. I don't think he even has the best doctor, the tv interviews and the letter provided were embarrassing. He says he is self funding but can't raise enough money to come close to Clinton and share with the Republican party. He can't seem to solidify his stance on an immigration policy. He speaks to black Americans at White rallies. Jackson Mississippi is 70% black and were there any blacks behind his stage? In fact he has said women and minorities love him and will vote for him but the polls show him woefully behind in those categories. He denied knowing David Duke at first yet he talked about him in a Larry King interview in 1991 and in considering a presidential run in the Reform party in 2000 backed out because -Trump: "Well, you've got David Duke just joined — a bigot, a racist, a problem. I mean, this is not exactly the people you want in your party." Now he goes to Mexico and doesn't even talk about the wall. He seems to be leading from behind. I get it, hard core fans can overlook all of this. Fortunately that is a small percentage in this country.

about how to serve someone at work and states that they need to serve my husband. The secretary transferred the phone to my husband and Mr. Greene let my husband know that if he didn't pay him he would have him served. Mr. Greene claimed to be from a law firm and kept threatening my husband with legal action and having him served at his place of employment and how embarrassing that would be for him. Mr. Greene told him the only way to stop him from being served is to give him his credit card information for a payment arrangement and that will immediately stop service. My husband didn't know any better regarding these dirty tactics from collectors and gave him his debit card information, and was told that he would need to sign a contract and that it was going to be sent to his email address. My husband did NOT sign the contract with this company agreeing to a payment plan or authorizing the charge. My husband was under the impression from Mr. Greene that the debit card will NOT be charged until the contract is signed. After further investigation this is not a law office but a company called Triaq Holdings.
Obviously this company is employing scare tactics as a method to get money.

Community Investment:
Los Angeles's Use of a Community Development Block Grant Exemption
GAO-02-726R: Published: Jun 28, 2002. Publicly Released: Jun 28, 2002.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8678
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, entitlement communities--also called grantees--receive funds that they can spend to support specific community development activities, such as rehabilitating housing, improving public facilities, and providing public services. Most grantees are prohibited by statute from spending more than 15 percent of their CDBG funding on public service activities, such as child care, health care, and crime prevention. However, in the aftermath of the 1992 Los Angeles civil unrest, Congress gave an exemption from this statutory cap to two grantees--the City of Los Angeles and the County of Los Angeles--allowing them to spend up to 25 percent of their funds on public services. In December 2001, the exemption was extended through 2003. Between 1993 and 2001, the City of Los Angeles spent between 20 and 25 percent of its CDBG funding to support public service activities, while the County of Los Angeles spent between 9 and 20 percent. According to HUD data for 1999 through 2001, the city and county used a majority of their public service funding to support general public services and either youth or senior services. There is no statutory or regulatory requirement that the grantees develop plans to transition to the 15 percent cap; however, HUD suggested in 1999 that the grantees develop such plans. As of May 2002, the City and the County of Los Angeles have undertaken some preliminary steps to facilitate a transition, but they do not have locally approved transition plans to decrease public service spending after 2003 in order to comply with the 15 percent spending cap.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: As GAO recommended, HUD sent letters to the City of Los Angeles and the County of Los Angeles in August 2002, requesting that each jurisdiction develop and adopt a transition plan to reduce their CDBG public service spending to the 15 percent statutory cap, and submit the approved plan to HUD. If either jurisdiction elected not to develop a transition plan, HUD requested that they submit their determination and the reasoning for such determination to HUD. The City and County of Los Angeles elected not to submit a transition plan and provided this determination to HUD.
Recommendation: To help ensure a smooth transition in the event that the 25 percent public service cap is not extended, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development should request that officials from the City and the County of Los Angeles submit locally approved plans to reduce their public service spending in the 2004 local fiscal year to the lower, 15 percent statutory cap.

What could possibly be so urgent and life-threatening to drive leaders of people from a small and barely reachable island off the coast of Mindoro to leave their homes and travel 285 kilometers by land and sea over the period of five days just to reach Metro Manila? On November 27, a day before the biggest climate justice march in the country, they have reach the Presidential Palace.

Mick Wallace, an independent, democratically elected public representative in Ireland's first house of Parliament, has been arrested and will be brought to Limerick Prison. The reason for his arrest was his attempt, along with Clare Daly TD, to inspect US military planes at Shannon. As his actions were undertaken entirely in the pursuit of peace, Shannonwatch calls for his immediate release.
[Update] TD Mick Wallace has since been granted temporary release from Limerick Prison this afternoon. However TD Clare Daly has now driven to Limerick the prison in an unmarked Garda over her non-payment of a fine in relation to a protest at Shannon Airport. read full story / add a comment

In the recent elections in Venezuela the right wing opposition long backed by Washington has secured a majority by winning 107 out of 167 seats. This is the first time since the early days of deceased former president Chavez rose to power that the right has had control of the parliament.
This allows them to to remove ministers from the presidential cabinet. Had they won 111 seats, they would have been enough power in the legislative body to dismiss Supreme Court Judges, reform the Constitution and convoke a recall referendum of the national executive without having collected the minimum quota of signatures required by the Bolivarian Constitution. It is likely they will try this anyhow.
In the second victory for the empire, the neo-liberal right wing got back into power in Argentina just two weeks ago in late November with the election of right-wing candidate Mauricio Macri from one of the country's richest families

Later one of the more important articles in this newsletter discusses how the CETA is probably more dangerous than the TTIP agreement.
....Importantly, it doesn't matter who has the highest standards to start with: what matters is how the corporations from both sides of the Atlantic will use the regulatory co-operation and ISDS provisions of CETA to lower standards across the board. Also, in both Canada and Europe there are internal processes already deeply committed to the deregulation of environmental, health and labour standards, as well as the privatisation of public services. CETA will speed up the pace of this process in both Europe and Canada.... read full story / add a comment

Last year we had alot of coverage in the Irish mainstream news about farmers and individuals being stopped from extracting peat -the reason is because most of our bogs which are wonderful habitats are almost completely destroyed. However we never heard or was it mentioned that there was no attempt to stop the industrial extraction of peat by large private companies yet this does infinitely more damage. It seems there is one law for the people and no law for business interests. If we are going to save our bogs we should at least make the laws applicable to ALL parties. Peat extraction to be exempted from planning permission Press Release - 23 November, 2015 Friends of the Irish Environment The industrial extraction of peat is to be removed from planning controls, according to statements by horticultural peat extraction companies Bulrush and Westland in the High Court on Friday. read full story / add a comment

SIPTU and TEEU local authority members working under the management of Irish Water have today (Friday, 20th November) overwhelmingly voted for industrial action to prevent the privatisation of the public water service. Last month, Irish Water said that it intended reduce the local authority workforce in the company by up to 1500 by 2021. The unilateral announcement was in breach of the Service Level Agreement reached with trade union representatives in 2013 which obliged the company to consult with them in relation to any proposed changes in staffing numbers read full story / add a comment

It is over a week since the Paris Attack and the slaughter of innocent people. Europe is now suffering the spillover of the terrorism and wars launched by Western powers including France on the Middle East and Arab world for over a decade now and it seems the war is being brought home.
Looking at the actual efforts on not just French society but Europe, it just so happens to serve the creeping totalitarian state and the 0.1% and corporate power. This article tries to put together some context and background to see if it is possible to figure out whether this appalling carnage was simply blowback of French foreign policy and or even some kind of black operation. Don't expect clear cut answers to any thing. read full story / add a comment

In light of the butchery that took place in Paris on Fri 13th by Terrorists largely financed, supported, trained and armed by Western powers and corporate entities directly and through Gulf state and Turkish state intermediaries and the totally inadequate analysis from the mainstream media, we reproduce here in full this article from Voltaire Net.
The French Republic taken hostage by Thierry Meyssan
The war which has now spread to Paris is incomprehensible for those French citizens who are ignorant of practically all the secret activities of their government in the Arab world, of its unnatural alliances with the Gulf dictators, and its active participation in international terrorism. These policies have never been discussed in Parliament, and the major media have rarely dared to take an interest in them. read full story / add a comment

Shell to Sea Activists and AFRI commemorated the 20th Anniversary of the deaths of Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni Nine outside Corrib House: Shells Irish Headquarters in Dublin. The activists carried crosses bearing the names of each of the men executed by the corrupt Nigerian Government on 10 November 1995. Many sources believe that these executions were done at the behest of Shell. Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni people, had been actively leading successful civil society actions and demonstrations thwarting Shells development of oil on the land of these indigenous farmers and fishermen. Even though it hasnt been explicitly proven that Shell ordered the killing they did benefit from the outcome and later paid reparations to the families. (In 2009 Shell settled out of court to the tune of 15.5 million dollars to the families of the victims to avoid going to court in the USA.) read full story / add a comment

One year after the LuxLeaks scandal, a new report Fifty Shades of Tax Dodging finds that most EU countries continue to uphold secretive tax systems that are riddled with loopholes. The 2015 Stop Tax Dodging report, released in Ireland on 4th November by Debt & Development Coalition Ireland (DDCI) scrutinises the role of the EU in the global tax crisis. The Irish chapter of the report details how Ireland announced a gradual phase-out of rules that allowed the controversial Double Irish tax avoidance scheme, but continues to allow corporate structures operate systems for tax rulings, transfer pricing and intellectual property that allow multinational corporations to avoid taxes on an enormous scale. read full story / add a comment

This booklet is an adjunct to the author's "X-Ray Atlas of the Systemic Arteries of the Body," and is of value in teaching the arterial system to students of first aid. The attempt has been made to clarify the course and relations of the large and small arteries by their injection in chosen cadavers with an opaque material, and exposures of sections of the body to the roentgen ray. The exposures have been well reproduced. It has value in demonstrating the point of election in the application of pressure in arterial hemorrhage in any section of the body.

I'm Running Apache and I have 3 sites (folder, not domain) in my network all working wonderfully. Well, except for 2 issues.
The main site ie mygreatevents.org/events/
and then all the child sites under that.
1. The domain was changed from olddomain.org to mygreatevents.org after this all was created. So, I followed everyone's steps, did a db dump of my site, changed the config.php and reuploaded but that still didn't work.
My 1st issue is that the powers that be want when someone types in mygreatevents.org for it to go behind the scenes to mygreatevents.org/events/ but only displays mygreatevents.org.
That was easy enough. I setup a virtual host, set the documentroot to /events/ and bazinga it works. Only mygreatevents.org gets displayed.
They also want mycreateevents.org/virtual-events and mygreatevvents.org/live-events
They basically never want to see the folder 'events'. I've done url rewrite before and even hit it was a hammer with
RewriteRule ^(http://www.mygreatevents.org/edtech2012/)(.*) http://www.mygreatevents.org/events/edtech2012/ [QSA]
The latter url works. but going to http://www.mygreatevents.org/edtech2012 doesn't even redirect to the other url let alone mask it. I'm bringing a mod-rewrite question here but I know that in my tests, it all works find but when I get it applied to the WP multi folder, it bombs and was wondering if people came across anything similiar and found a solutions.
My 2nd issue is they also decided to change the domain on me. now, I read about doing a db dump, search and replace, re-upload, change your config and you're good to go. That hasn't been working. Anything I've missed?

Liver transplantation for acute liver failure in Europe: outcomes over 20 years from the ELTR database.
J Hepatol
, 57
pp. 288-296.
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Liver transplantation for acute liver failure (ALF) still has a high early mortality. We evaluated changes during 20 years, and identified risk factors for poor outcome. METHODS: Donor, graft, and recipient variables from the European Liver Transplant Registry database (January 1988-June 2009), were analysed. Aetiologies and time periods were compared. Three and 12-month survival models were generated from separate training data sets, which were validated. A sub-analysis was performed for recipient older than 50 years. RESULTS: Four thousand nine hundred and three patients were evaluated. One, 5- and 10-year patient, and graft survival rates were 74%, 68%, 63%, and 63%, 57%, 50%, respectively. Survival was better in 2004-2009 compared to previous quinquennia (p<0.001), despite donors >60 years increased from 1.8% to 21%. A higher incidence of suicide or non-adherence occurred in paracetamol-related ALF (p<0.001). Death or graft loss were independently associated with male recipients (adjusted OR 1.25), recipient >50 years (1.26), incompatible ABO matching (1.93), donors >60 years (1.21), and reduced size graft (1.54). For both 3- and 12-month models, incompatible ABO matching, non-viral aetiology, reduced size graft, and non-UW preservation fluid were associated with increased mortality/graft loss, whereas male recipients and age >50 years were associated only at 12 months. Both models had reasonable discriminative ability with good calibration at 3 months. Recipients >50 years, combined with donors >60 years resulted in 57% mortality/graft loss within the first year. CONCLUSIONS: Survival after liver transplantation has improved despite increases in donor/recipient age. Recipients >50 years paired with donors >60 years had a very high mortality/graft loss within the first year.

|Initial release
|January 17, 2001[1]
|Stable release
|2.7.0 / May 2, 2015[2]
|Written in
|Python and Java
|Operating system
|Java Virtual Machine
|Python Programming Language Interpreter
|Python Software Foundation License (for older releases see License terms)
Jython is an implementation of the Python programming language designed to run on the Java platform. It is the successor of JPython.[3]
Jython programs can import and use any Java class. Except for some standard modules, Jython programs use Java classes instead of Python modules. Jython includes almost all of the modules in the standard Python programming language distribution, lacking only some of the modules implemented originally in C. For example, a user interface in Jython could be written with Swing, AWT or SWT. Jython compiles to Java bytecode (intermediate language) either on demand or statically.
Jython was initially created in late 1997 to replace C with Java for performance-intensive code accessed by Python programs, moving to SourceForge in October 2000. The Python Software Foundation awarded a grant in January 2005. Jython 2.5 was released in June 2009.[4]
Status and roadmap[edit]
The most recent release is Jython 2.7.0. It was released on 2 May 2015 and is compatible with Python 2.7.[5]
Although Jython implements the Python language specification, it has some differences and incompatibilities with CPython, which is the reference implementation of Python.[6][7]
License terms[edit]
From version 2.2 on, Jython (including the standard library) is released under the Python Software Foundation License (v2). Older versions are covered by the Jython 2.0, 2.1 license and the JPython 1.1.x Software License.[8]
The command line interpreter is available under the Apache Software License.
Jython is one of two scripting languages (with Jacl) used in WebSphere Application Server. It is used in IBM Rational development tools, where Jython projects can be created using wizards. It is used as the main programming language for the DataMelt scientific computing. The usage of Jython for scientific applications was discussed in the books Scientific Data analysis using Jython Scripting and Java[9] and Numeric Computation and Statistical Data Analysis on the Java Platform.[10]

A professor's comments opposing the American Studies Association's boycott of Israeli universities became the subject of a disciplinary investigation at Fordham University.
Princeton professor protests his preemptive exclusion from a panel based on his support of the academic boycott of Israel.
Professor fired by Israeli university in West Bank explains why he feels allied with the controversial scholar denied a job by the University of Illinois.
With conflict in Gaza ongoing, some universities with study abroad programs in Israel suspend programs while others stay the course.
Another disciplinary organization endorses call for end of ties to all Israeli academic institutions.
MLA Executive Council will send controversial resolution to full membership to decide, but opts not to send another resolution because of how it describes Lumina.
New petition seeks to organize academics who oppose boycotts and outside attacks (whether from supporters or critics of Israel) on the tenure candidacies of faculty members.
On December 27, William Kelly, the interim chancellor of the City University of New York, the vast university system in which I teach, published a statement condemning the resolution of American Studies Association to boycott Israeli universities. In his statement, Chancellor Kelly wrote, "The need for global cooperation has never been more urgent, and we repudiate any effort to foreclose productive dialogue." Who, one might wonder, is this we the chancellor is invoking, and who exactly is foreclosing dialogue?
Kelly's statement is part of a growing chorus of denunciations of the ASA resolution by university presidents and other academic leaders. In these public pronouncements, Kelly and his fellow executives almost always speak in the royal we, as if they talk for the entire university community. In many cases, such arrogation of the right to speak for the whole community is explicit. Amherst College President Biddy Martin, for example, writes in her rejection of the ASA resolution, "On behalf of the college, I express opposition to this academic boycott for several related reasons."
Yet when university leaders like Kelly and Martin speak not based on their own personal opinions but in the name of the institution, they abrogate the academic freedom of their faculty members. None of the statements issued thus far have benefited from consultation with faculty senates or other representative bodies of faculty opinion. Think of the chilling impact of such presidential declarations on nontenured faculty members who may have participated in the ASA vote, who may be considering attending meetings of the ASA, or who may even hold dissenting critical viewpoints about the Israeli occupation of Palestine. These presidential denunciations threaten to create a witch hunt-like atmosphere on campuses.
The courageous response of a group of faculty members at Trinity College in Connecticut to President James F. Jones Jr.'s attack on the ASA resolution highlights the ways in which these denunciations infringe on academic freedom. The Trinity faculty members point out explicitly to Jones that, "you did not speak in our name – also members of the Trinity College community – when you wrote this ill-advised letter to the ASA president."
The Trinity faculty had good cause to complain. Without consulting them, President Jones stated in his letter that if Trinity were still an institutional member of the ASA, "it would not be any longer after the misguided and unprincipled announcement of the boycott of the only democracy in the Middle East." The Trinity faculty might also have objected to the fact that President Jones appears so concerned to protect the academic freedom of Israeli institutions while ignoring that of members of his own university community. What could explain this apparent contradiction between the presidential devotion to abstract notions of academic freedom and pronouncements that ride roughshod over academic freedom at the leaders' own institutions?
The answer perhaps lies in President Jones's characterization of Israel as the only democracy in the Middle East, a statement that the Trinity faculty remind him is not simply erroneous but also racially stereotyping. Following this gaffe, Jones goes on to ask rhetorically why the ASA is not boycotting "Syria, the Sudan, North Korea, China, Iran, Iraq, or Russia."
An identical assertion concerning the regional uniqueness of Israeli democracy and a nearly equivalent list of human rights-violating nations occurs in a recent statement on the website of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. In this statement, the conference calls on university presidents not simply to "publicly reject this academic boycott and the Boycott, Divest, Sanction (BDS) campaign against Israel" but to deny "any funds, direct or indirect, to the ASA or any other body that adopts similar measures." As part of their campaign against the ASA, the conference is deploying alumni and donors to put pressure on college presidents, distributing highly distorted talking points such as the ones that appeared in President Jones's and many other presidents' statements, and ignoring the discussions that circulated before the ASA resolution was put up for a vote, including the collection of essays that I curated at the AAUP's Journal for Academic Freedom. Also involved in this campaign are Zionist organizations like Stand With Us, whose website includes a "how to" list for campaigners against BDS.
The university presidents' denunciations are likely to have a chilling impact on fair and open discussion of the BDS campaign on American university campuses. If they follow through on the call to deny all funding to the ASA without adequate consultation with their faculty members, academic leaders will be infringing even more directly on academic freedom.
This building crisis underlines that there is no such thing as academic freedom shorn of the institutional and material conditions that enable such freedom. This point, which, as Judith Butler has explained in her endorsement of BDS, highlights the fundamental lack of freedoms of Palestinian scholars, was key to the ASA's endorsement of the boycott. It seems that scholars who have endorsed the ASA resolution, or who continue to participate in the ASA, may now be penalized with a withdrawal of institutional resources as well as subtle and not-so-subtle infringements of their academic freedom. It is worth remembering that the academic boycott endorsed by the ASA targets only institutions and not individuals, but the presidents in their defense of Israeli institutions are directly infringing on the rights of association and expression of individual faculty members.
Instead of attempting to silence debate in this manner, academic leaders who are truly interested in nurturing academic freedom at their institutions and elsewhere should establish forums in which the ASA resolution can be discussed and debated in a fair and evenhanded manner. After all, the ASA boycott controversy is not a flash in the pan. As David Theo Goldberg and Saree Makdisi argue, "A rising level of concern about the continuing Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory (now in its fifth decade), as well as the precarious position of Israel's beleaguered Palestinian minority, have been countered by increasingly strident, even furious, attempts to silence or stifle criticism of Israeli policy on American college campuses." Goldberg and Makdisi's article details the campaigns of "insinuation, accusation, and defamation" through which organizations such as the Israel on Campus Coalition seek to silence debate about Israel's policies in the occupied territories. As part of this campaign, groups like Stand With Us distribute propaganda tools such as the Hasbara Handbook, which details strategies of "point scoring" while avoiding genuine debate. Against such attempts to silence discussion, Goldberg and Makdisi's article sets out some clear ground rules for forums designed to promote civil, respectful, but critical engagements across political divides.
Surely the quashing of dissenting viewpoints should be anathema to university presidents who are truly committed to academic freedom. Courageous and enlightened academic leaders should be fostering critical debate rather than contributing to an atmosphere of intimidation on campus while repeating abstract, and ultimately hollow, endorsements of academic freedom.
Ashley Dawson is professor of English at the City University of New York's Graduate Center, and editor of the American Association of University Professors' Journal of Academic Freedom.
In December the American Studies Association joined the Association for Asian American Studies in calling for a boycott of academic and intellectual exchanges with Israeli colleges, universities, and individual faculty in protest of that country's treatment of the Palestinians. Since the ASA's resolution, scores of college and university presidents and the American Association of University Professors have proclaimed that this action is a violation of academic freedom.
The ASA resolution is a serious misstep toward achieving both peace and prosperity in the Middle East and reinforces greater barriers to knowledge and understanding across cultures. Awareness and appreciation of cultures in the Middle East (including traditions, languages, arts, religions, ethnicities, philosophies, economics, and politics) are precisely what we need.
In 1958 President Dwight Eisenhower signed into law the National Defense Education Act. He did so in response to the Soviet Union's launch of the first earth-orbiting satellite, Sputnik, the previous October. At that time, the United States was woefully short of mathematicians and other scientists, and computer technology was beginning its meteoric rise. The NDEA provided funding to support and educate a new generation of engineers.
However, President Eisenhower's action also recognized an enduring truth. When peoples of differing cultures live, work, and study together, they begin to understand that "difference" does not necessarily mean "wrong" or "bad." Rather, they begin to recognize the human similarities across and among cultures. Under Title VI of the NDEA, international studies centers, foreign language and area studies fellowships, graduate and undergraduate international and intercultural studies programs, and citizen education for cultural understandings were funded. These programs focused largely on countries within the Soviet Bloc and have been credited as playing a significant role in promoting positive solutions and intercultural advancement in Eastern Europe. We need a similar initiative for the Middle East.
A dozen years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the horrific war in Syria, and the ongoing issues between Israel and neighboring regions have shaped our perceptions of the area's peoples and politics, whether accurate or not. I suspect many, if not most, are not accurate. Sadly, public perceptions foster the foreign policy that guides our relations with Middle Eastern countries.
Just as we need to know the peoples of the Middle East better, they need to know us better as well. International educational exchange between faculty and students is a proven strategy for accomplishing that goal. We should build ties, not cut them off, with Israeli universities, with Palestinian universities and with institutions throughout the region. That is why the ASA's boycott is exactly the wrong action at the wrong time.
Devorah Lieberman is president of the University of La Verne.
In recent weeks a number of Modern Language Association members have talked with me about MLA Resolution 2014-1 to be voted on in Chicago on Saturday by the organization's Delegate Assembly at the MLA's annual meeting. The resolution "urges the U.S. Department of State to contest Israel's arbitrary denials of entry to Gaza and the West Bank by U.S. academics who have been invited to teach, confer, or do research at Palestinian universities." Several people expressed doubt that any counter-evidence could be presented to question the conclusions advanced by the background paper distributed by the resolution's proponents. They then typically advanced to the next stage of the discussion, wondering what arguments could possibly be raised to defeat the resolution. The background paper sounds reasonable, even factual, if you aren't well informed or up-to-date about conditions in Israel and the occupied territories. The people I talked with concluded it was an open-and-shut case.
Until now, MLA members have been in the same situation as the American Studies Association members who voted on a boycott resolution in December: They have only been presented with one side of the case. But a group of MLA members have now put together a detailed document exposing factual errors, contested claims, and misleading conclusions in the background paper available to MLA members on the association's website. Like the resolution's proponents, they have drawn on material gathered by non-government organizations with an interest in the subject. Rather than an objective report, the pro-resolution background paper is now revealed to be essentially the prosecution's case. The document prepared by the resolution's opponents amounts to the case for the defense.
The case for the defense rebuts both arguments and examples put forward by proponents of the resolution. It shows that many international scholars work and teach in the West Bank. It demonstrates why visa denials may not be "arbitrary." It shows how the documents supporting the resolution are flawed and unreliable, including some that are now out of date. And it shows how Israeli visa policies are comparable to visa policies elsewhere. There are fundamental disagreements of fact between the two sides.
The members of the MLA's Delegate Assembly have thus become triers of the facts, acting to evaluate what are fundamentally a set of evidence-based issues: what are the conditions at Palestinian universities? Are faculty members from other countries who wish to do so able to teach there? Are Palestinian faculty members able to engage in professional travel? What Israeli security concerns that affect access are or are not valid? What travel rules should an existentially threatened country in a state of perpetual war feel justified in enforcing? Does Israel have the right to exclude foreign faculty who advocate violence?
It is fair to say that MLA members are not necessarily well-informed about the first questions and are not professionally equipped to answer the last three. They would ideally have to listen to weeks of expert testimony and questioning before voting on the resolution. Instead they will hear an afternoon's debate by English and foreign language professors. If the resolution passes, it will then be subjected to a vote by the association's 30,000 members.
The MLA is to be applauded for requiring a democratic vote by its members before a resolution is formally adopted by the organization as a whole. Unfortunately, neither the Delegate Assembly nor the MLA's 30,000 members have been equipped to be triers of the facts. Indeed MLA's members are not required to read the documents supporting or contesting the resolution. Nor will they even be able to sit in judgment and hear arguments. They would be free to vote on the basis of their prior convictions, much as many of the ASA's members surely did. Many ASA members no doubt voted approval simply because they were angry at Israel. They took the only organizational opportunity they had to express their disapproval of Israeli policy. The efficacy or advisability of academic boycotts aside, they registered their general convictions. Indeed there is no guarantee that members of the Delegate Assembly will read the two sets of background documents before voting.
Unfortunately, the context and basis for voting on the MLA resolution are worse still. Whether or not you support academic boycotts is fundamentally a matter of principle. Principle alone can guide a vote. But the MLA resolution is fundamentally fact-based. The process the MLA uses is not adequate to the task of establishing the facts. It is fatally flawed, or at least it will be if the Delegate Assembly approves the resolution.
Before the American Association of University Professors censures a college or university administration, it reviews documents submitted by both faculty members and administrators, tasks staff to prepare a review of relevant issues and key questions needing answers, and selects a team of faculty knowledgeable about academic freedom and shared governance to visit the campus in question to interview interested parties. The AAUP then drafts a full report reaching consensus on the facts. The AAUP also shares the draft report with administrators and faculty members on the campus and requests comments. The revised report is published for comment. The organization's 39-member National Council reviews the report and votes on whether to recommend a vote for censure to the annual meeting. This is the kind of process required to decide a fact-based case in a responsible and professional manner.
But the MLA is not merely contemplating censuring a university. It is basically censuring a country for its policies. When did MLA conduct site visits to Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank? When did the MLA give Israelis an opportunity to respond, a procedure the MLA's rules would seem to require? Where is the consensus report evaluating arguments pro and con and giving MLA members a disinterested basis on which to vote? If the Delegate Assembly votes to approve the resolution after this flawed process proceeds, it will have undermined the credibility of the organization and gone a long way toward transforming it from a scholarly to a political one. It does not augur well for the group's future as a widely endorsed advocacy vehicle for the humanities.
On the other hand, the Delegate Assembly has an opportunity to reject the resolution. Set beside one another, the two sets of documents make it clear that a good deal more objective evidence would be needed to prove the prosecution case. To follow through on the jury trial analogy: when the documents for and against the resolution are compared, the DA at the very least must conclude there is "reasonable doubt" the resolution is justified.
That is not to say that Israel should not take the risk of loosening the security restrictions under which Palestinian universities operate. That would be one component of a plan for jettisoning control of the West Bank, something Israel may have to do unilaterally if negotiations continue to fail. But it is to say that MLA's ill-informed resolution and inadequate procedures have no role to play in the process. In an era of continuing adjunct abuse and politicians declaring the humanities of no economic use, the MLA should concentrate instead on saving a profession endangered in its own country.

Marco Antonio Rubio-Matt Vanda on December 16 in Vegas
By Joaquin Trejo
The highest ranked middleweight in the WBC's rankings, Marco Antonio Rubio, will return to action on the 16th of December against Matt Vanda at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada. Vanda is well remembered in Mexico for his two fights with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Given the styles of both fighters, fireworks are expected. The fight is going headline a show that closes the WBC's 49th annual convention. Rubio has 52 wins, with 45 knockouts, five defeats and one draw, Vanda has 44 wins, 13 defeats and 24 knockouts. The card will be carried on Televisa.

Feb. 8, 2014
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Colorado State men's basketball team erased a double-digit deficit on Saturday afternoon en route to a 68-56 road win over in-state rival Air Force in front of 3,781 fans at the Clune Arena.
The Rams (14-10, 5-6 MW) trailed the Falcons (9-13, 3-8 MW) by as many as 10 points in the first half, and eight points in the second half, but completed the comeback behind a double-double effort by junior forward J.J. Avila (20 points and 13 rebounds), and 18 points - including a pair of daggers from three-point range - by junior guard Jon Octeus.
Colorado State, which entered the game ranked fourth nationally at just 8.9 turnovers per game, was uncharacteristically careless with the basketball in the opening stanza, committing 14 first-half turnovers against Air Force's press. The Falcons made the most of the extra opportunities, notching a 10-2 advantage in points off turnovers in the first 20 minutes to push their lead to 10 points, 23-13, at the 5:11 mark of the half.
"As poorly as we've played in the first half, we played probably the best basketball we have all year in the second half," said Head Coach Larry Eustachy of the Rams' comeback effort. "You just don't come in here and beat these guys. They (Air Force) are not a lay-down team."
Fortunately, Eustachy's Rams don't lay down either. CSU cleaned up its ball-control issues, committing just four second-half turnovers and used a dominating performance on the boards – 47-17 including a 21-6 edge on the offensive glass – to mount their comeback.
Avila and Octeus sparked the Rams' offense in the second half after sophomore guard Joe De Ciman posted 11 points in the first half to keep the Rams within striking distance. And while Daniel Bejarano - the Rams' leading scorer in conference play - struggled from the field in the contest (1-for9 FGs), his buzzer-beating three-pointer at the end of the first half helped the Rams swing momentum in their favor as the team headed into the locker room trailing by just three points, 28-25.
After the Falcons scored the first four points of the second half, Avila rattled off eight straight points for the Rams to pull the game even, 33-33 with 14:41 left in the contest. The Falcons answered with a three-pointer by Tre' Coggins - who finished with 19 points - and pushed their lead back to seven points, 44-37, before the Rams regained the advantage with a 10-0 run between the 9:33 and 6:29 marks of the second half. The run included five points each from Octeus and senior forward Gerson Santo, who finished with eight points and eight rebounds, and gave the Rams their first lead, 47-44, since an 8-6 edge in the first five minutes of the contest.
The see-saw battle saw two more ties and two more lead changes in the next two minutes of the game, but after the Falcons tied the game 52-52 with 4:33 to play, the Rams closed the contest on a 16-4 run sparked by an Octeus trey at the 3:39 mark that pushed the Rams ahead 55-52, and another with 1:57 remaining that pushed a six-point CSU lead to nine points, 62-53.
"That's something that's come with the amount of playing time I've been getting and the situations we've been put in," said Octeus of his confidence to step up and hit those late three-pointers. "As the season goes on, you get to learn and know how to approach those situations. I credit that to the amount of work we put in in practice, and outside of practice."
Junior guard Dwight Smith gave the Rams some quality minutes down the stretch of the game, pulling down seven rebounds and adding two point and two steals in 19 minutes off the bench. His bucket with 4:55 to play put the Rams ahead 52-50 at the time, and he followed that up with an offensive rebound that extended the Rams' possession and eventually led to Octeus' first three-pointer.
Bejarano finished with five points and five rebounds, well below his season averages, but he added a game-high six assists in the contest.
The Rams have a quick turnaround before returning to the court on Tuesday against Mountain West newcomer Utah State. Tipoff between the Rams and the Aggies, coached by former CSU head coach Stew Morrill, is set for 7:15 p.m. MT and the game will be broadcast live on CBS Sports Network. The game has been designated a "Gold Out" of Moby Arena, and fans are encouraged to wear their gold CSU gear to the game.
