2017 Teacher of the Year Guidelines (click here)
The state program recognizes a Teacher of the Year in both elementary and secondary categories at the regional and state levels. Participating districts or charter school holders may nominate two teachers — one in elementary and one in secondary education. However, districts or charters also may follow a process that selects one overall nominee for recognition.
In most cases, the elementary category consists of early childhood/pre-K through grade 5 and the secondary, grades 6-12. But grade divisions and classroom arrangements may vary from district to district. In general, elementary teachers will instruct the same class throughout the day in what is regarded as a traditional grade-school setting; secondary teachers will conduct classes in subject areas in a class-period or block-time schedule to different groups of students during the school day.
Please, if there are questions regarding the eligibility of teacher candidates or the elementary or secondary categories, call the regional coordinator, Ron Simpson, 972.348.1700, email@example.com, or the Texas Association of School Administrators, Jennifer Garrido, 512.477.6361, http://www.tasanet.org/domain/59.

Just after midnight Friday, Utah carried out the first execution by firing squad since 1996.
Five marksmen carried out the death sentence against twice-convicted killer Ronnie Lee Gardner at the Utah State Prison.
Gardner was shot while strapped into a black, straight-backed metal chair.
He was sentenced to death for a 1985 capital murder conviction stemming from the fatal courthouse shooting of attorney Michael Burdell during a failed escape attempt. Gardner was at the Salt Lake City court facing a 1984 murder charge in the shooting death of a bartender, Melvyn Otterstrom.
Click play for an update on this story with CBN News Reporter Efrem Graham.
"What caught my attention was that it was so sudden," said Marcos Ortiz, a Salt Lake KTVX reporter who witnessed the execution. "We didn't get a count down."
The five gunmen were given .30 caliber Winchester rifles - one of which was loaded with a blank so they wouldn't know who fired the fatal shot that killed Gardner.
Outside the prison, relatives of the killer and his victims stood vigil.
"I was relieved," Barb Webb, daughter of one of Gardner's victims, said. "I have to say when it came down to it, I was relieved. You know he's gone and I was just relieved."
Still, some have insisted the execution was barbaric and cruel way to kill.
"Clearly there's a possibility of a botched execution of someone missing the heart or the vital organs and someone bleeding to death," Northeastern University's Prof. James Alan Fox said.
Others said alternative methods aren't really better.
"People think lethal injection is more humane because it's related to medicine and doctors and a peaceful way of death, but in reality it is not," Fordham University law professor Deborah Denno said.
Former television reporter Paul Murphy said that while the one firing squad death he witnessed was brutal, "a firing squad is a more honest method of execution because it is what it seems to be - which is a man being put to death for his crimes."
Gardner spent his last day sleeping, reading the novel "divine Justice," watching the "Lord of the Rings" film trilogy and meeting with his attorneys and a bishop with the Mormon church. A prison spokesman said officers described his mood as relaxed. He had eaten his last requested meal - steak, lobster tail, apple pie, vanilla ice cream and 7UP - two days earlier.
Members of his family gathered outside the prison, some wearing T-shirts displaying his prisoner number, 14873. None planned to witness the execution, at Gardner's request.
"He didn't want nobody to see him get shot," said Gardner's brother, Randy Gardner. "I would have liked to be there for him. I love him to death. He's my little brother."
Gardner chose his execution style although he and his attorneys fought his death-sentence to the very last.
They petitioned the courts claiming the jury heard no mitigating evidence that might have led them to impose a life in prison sentence instead of the death penalty. Gardner's life was marked by early drug addiction, physical and sexual abuse and possible brain damage,court records show.
At one of the last hearings in his case, Gardner said he'd tried to apologize to the families of his victims and that he "had hoped for forgiveness."
"If someone hates me for 20 years, it's going to affect them," Gardner said. "I know killing me is going to hurt them just as bad. It's something you have to live with every day. You can't get away from it. I've been on the other side of the gun. I know."

Initial work will establish feasibility of using LentiVector platform for delivery and expression of COX-2 and PGF-2alpha genes.[nyul-Fotolia.com]
Oxford BioMedica and the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, have teamed up on an R&D collaboration that aims to develop a gene therapy for treating chronic glaucoma. The partners will carry out preclinical work to test the feasibility of using a therapeutic based on Oxford BioMedica's LentiVector® gene delivery system expressing a COX-2 gene and a PGF-2alpha receptor gene, for use in reducing intraocular pressure. The collaboration builds on research by Mayo Clinic scientists that has demonsrated initial proof-of-concept for the gene therapy approach. The U.K. firm in addition has an option to exclusively license the May Clinic's glaucoma technology in the U.S., on completion of preclinical studies.
Oxford BioMedica maintains its LentiVector technology can stably deliver genes into cells with up to 100% efficiency, and can integrate genes into nondividing cells such as neurons and retinal cells. Studies suggest that in these types of cells, gene expression could be maintained indefinitely.
The firm's lead in-house LentiVector-based product, ProSavin™, is in Phase I/II clinical trials for the treatment of Parkinson disease, but an additional four LentiVector-based products are in Phase I/II development in partnership with Sanofi, for the ophthalmic indications of wet age-related macular degeneration, Stargardt disease, Usher syndrome, and corneal graft rejection. "We believe that our LentiVector gene delivery system is perfectly suited to tackle chronic diseases of the eye," comments Stuart Naylor, CSO at BioMedica. "We are pleased to be working with Mayo Clinic, a global leader in medical research, on a potential treatment for glaucoma that will further leverage our LentiVector platform technology and broaden our ocular development pipeline."

why do all dash lights come on at once
When the car is started and sometimes while driving, all the dash board lights turn on (check engine, air bag, abs, brake, gas light). At the same time, all the gauges drop to zero, its as if the car were to be completely off even though its running. Also what does "no bu5" mean? This appears under the speedometer.
6 Answers
this is one yoy want to take to dealer and have a full scan done,something is wrong
We had some problems like this at the Dodge Dealer. The "No Bus" indicated that either the PCM or the instrument cluster itself had failed. It will take diagnosis by the dealer to determine which. In the case of an '01 Dakota, the No Bus indicator led us to initially replace the PCM, which was still under the extended Federal Emissions Warranty. We then found out that the cluster was defective as well, which was out of warranty. Bottom line, you have a cluster/PCM problem here. Cluster is losing input from PCM or losing power causing it to fail to interface with PCM.
I hope this helps you. From the many post I've read mine was very simple. Let me 1st tell u some of the things I've read that might help you. On the middle console left side bottom side right of the gas pedal if you pull the carpet back you'll see a punch of ground wires.. check and make sure none of them are broke. The fuses # 7,10,17 (i have a Concorde). The ignition switch. Take off the plastic behind the stering wheel. You have to move the Hazard switch under that on the side rather, is the ignition box you may have to change that. In my case when i started may car all lights will come on in the dash, all gauges dropped and "NO BUS" came in the odometer. I checked all gounds around the battery which was all fine. To my surprize I noticed the battery was a little bigger then the plate it sat on. It was plugged up pos with pos and neg wit neg. I changed the battery and all lights when out, the gauges work perfectly and the "NO BUS" never came back on. I must say this also, I took the car to a electric shop and they said it was the "PCM". Like I said I had the wrong battery in the car. (I just brought the car used)
I had the same problem With my 2007 dodge charger. Instrument panel lights flashing. Gauges dropped. I checked my negative battery had a Lil corrosion. I changed negative cable haven't had a problem since. It's been 2 months. Hope this helps.
I have a GMC ENVOY 2005...took it to toyota dealer, they replaced the cluster for $600 but same problem occurs. Now they want to check some more and charge every hr they do. Please help, I feel like Toyota is ripping us off
I posted before my solution. I changed my negative cable and haven't had the problem sense. 2007 dodge charger.

Social commentator and broadcaster Tavis Smiley, host of shows on PBS and Public Radio International, is receiving WHYY's Lifelong Learning Award on Thursday. On Friday he will lead a program at the University of the Arts. Smiley spoke with Inquirer staff writer Vernon Clark about his life and career.
Question: You are marking 20 years as a broadcaster. What do you consider to be the highlights of those years?
Tavis Smiley: The highlight for me has always been the next interview. When you love your work as I do . . . you always look forward to the next interview, the next booking, the next conversation. The person who has appeared on my show the most is Dr. Maya Angelou. . . . I also do a radio show with my dear and abiding friend Dr. Cornell West. The interview that was noted the most was one with Bill Clinton. It was the first after the Monica Lewinsky scandal. That really put me out there in the national media. I also had a great interview with Fidel Castro.

Mobile Arts Council last week announced recipients of the 7th annual Greater Mobile Arts Awards.
They are: Wanda Sullivan, artist; the Blind Mule, business; Jane Shaw, educator; Gulf Coast Ethnic & Heritage Jazz Festival, organization; Herndon Inge III, patron; and Laureen Lynn, volunteer. The Volunteer Award is named for Fred and Ann Delchamps, longtime Mobile area arts patrons.
Look for more about the GMA Awards and recipients on the Press-Register blog site: www.al.com/events/mobile.
The Greater Mobile Arts Awards acknowledge the contributions that individuals, groups and businesses make to the cultural life of our community. The 2010 awards selection committee consisted of Vicki Briand, Douglas Kearley and James Kennedy.
Each year a local artist is commissioned to create the awards, and the 2010 artwork was created by book artist Wayne McNeil and Letterpress printer Paul Moxon.
McNeil says the GMAA book prize is made of stained Spanish cedar covers that have been hand-carved and inlaid with sea urchin shell fragments.
"The covers are then lacquered to give them a highly refined shine to the surface that serves as a nice contrast to the rough texture of the sea urchin," he says. They are then bound using a six-needle coptic stitch using two colors of waxed linen thread."
The interior of the book contains information specific to the award recipients hand-printed by Paul Moxon, McNeil says.
The sea urchin shells were gathered from the shores of St. Andrews Bay in Panama City while McNeil was home for the July 4 holiday.
Information, contact Bob Burnett, executive director of the Mobile Arts Council, at 251-432-9796; or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

All sports have unwritten rules of behavior. For example in baseball it is inappropriate to steal a base late in a game when your team has a big lead. That is considered to be rubbing it in. Likewise in football, throwing the ball in the fourth quarter with a big lead is considered to be in bad taste.
I recall a college football game in which a team tossed a 40-yard TD pass with less than a minute to go. That made the final score 51-3 and had people talking afterward.
The coach who called the pass play had substitutes in the game and said it was not fair to ask his second stringers to not "play" as they had worked hard all week in practice. Point taken. To his credit, the opposing coach suggested that he had no problem with the call. "It's our job to stop the play," he commented. "We didn't do a very good job of that."
Meanwhile a whole bunch of fans were incensed as they felt the scoring team was not demonstrating appropriate etiquette. Sometimes "proper" behavior is obvious, other times there is a gray area.
Let's take for example the baseball no-hitter. Superstitions abound when a game gets into the late innings and a hurler has a chance for a no-no. Teammates will not sit by him in the dugout. Opponents will eschew bunting for a hit. Nobody, and that usually includes the announcers, will mention the fact that a hit has not been recorded.
That brings me to bowling's equivalent of a no-hitter. What is the right thing to do when a bowler takes a potential perfect game into the 10th frame? I am referring to the bowlers who are competing on the adjoining lanes. What should they do in deference to their fellow competitor?
One school of thought is that the bowlers on the two adjoining lanes simply stop to give the stage to the perfectionist. Don't go up there, let him have his moment. Others don't think this is the way to go. They believe the other bowlers should do what they have been doing all game long. Bowl when it's their turn and thus "pace" the guy who is striving for that elusive 300 game. Sometimes it is hard to know what would be the proper etiquette in this situation.
If one chooses to bowl on the lane beside the man of the moment and you leave a split - well, we know about that superstition. The one thing you surely don't want to do is to wait until the guy takes to the approach and then jump in front of him. That is a breach of protocol for sure and that is exactly what happened earlier this season at Dunn's Lanes.
John Wedge had the front nine and stepped to the plate (just couldn't resist the baseball analogy) for the final frame. My teammate noticed how the bowler next to him, who was obviously oblivious to the situation, stepped up and bowled while John was already on the approach. It did not shake Mr. Wedge as he buried three straight to record his first perfect game.
I talked to him afterward and asked about the lack of etiquette demonstrated by the bowler beside him. John did not even notice the gaffe. He was, he suggested, focused. Here's my suggestion to all bowlers. If a situation arises and you are not sure about appropriate etiquette, ask someone what to do. At the very least consider WWEPS!

Each day, through lectures and other activities, we learn more about the art of healing, detoxification, food as medicine, and the emotional aspects of life, as we also allow the Bali magic do its wonders, opening us up to new insights and inspirations.
The overall premise of the retreat is for you to have an experience of food as medicine, not just as a concept, but during this retreat you will be living it! Our talented Embracing Health Chef has designed a delectable menu, introducing you to the delights of gourmet raw food and showing you just how delicious eating this way can be. For the first five days we will be juice fasting, and each juice will be created using local organic produce, bringing in the medicinal properties of the foods and cleansing the body. After the fast we move into eating organic, raw vegan food, with our chef taking you through food preparation classes, teaching you how to make simple, but tasty dishes.

morse-x - morse "practicing" tool for X
morse-x [options]
morse-x offers you a window to put dits and daws into - by pressing any key (except q = quit). On the console it prints each character you morsed in. (So start it in an x-terminal-emulator.) On the first execution you have to calibrate the length of dits and daws, so just follow the instructions on the console.
Morse-x saves the autorepeat state of the keyboard
at startup, then autorepeat is turned off because morse-x
only works with autorepeat disabled. On exit the saved state
will be activated again. This doesn't happen when
crashed or killed, etc. To enable autorepeat manually, do:
xset r on.

Now we're going to cover how to vectorize the character beginning with the body. Now, what this means is we're going to take the pencil drawing, the sketch of the character, bring it into Flash, and we're going to line it. We're going to draw a series of vector lines over the pencil drawing and that'll enable us to rig and pose the character in Flash and ultimately animate it. So let's take a look first at the sketch. This is our character. This is pretty standard. you'll get your character from the designer if you work for an animation studio, and if they are good one, you'll get it with a turnaround in more than one angle, beginning with the front down view three-quarters profile, all the way to the rearview.
This is the image we're going to work from. So let's start a new project and let's import the image. So now, we have this huge turnaround on the stage and our bitmap or our PSD file in the Library. So, the first thing I like to do is convert this into a symbol. So let's hit F8. I want to call this bd, short for body, and I'm going to make it a movie clip, which is my shorthand for signifying that it's going to be a big symbol full of lots of secondary symbols, or a comp, or a composite as it's widely known.
Let's keep the Library clean. I'm going to make a new folder, call it character for now, and let's drop all of these inside that. It's very important that we keep our Library clean and organized. For now, this should be enough for the moment. So now let's double-click on the bd symbol and we can work directly in that. So, the ideal would be to start rigging in the front view and the reason being why is that it's fairly easy to take the work what you do, rigging the character in the front view, and then twist it and repurpose it into the three-quarters view and the profile view.
Now, we do not have the time honestly to do that, but it's more than enough to work in that three-quarter view because we can then work the three-quarter view into the profile view. These are the two poses that we're going to be working with in this course. It's actually also quite rare to do production work in the complete flat front down view. If you've seen TV shows, they tend to avoid too many direct front down views. slightly three-quarters is the norm. So, we're going to start working with the three-quarter pose. So after we align that up, center it roughly around the character's center of mass, then we are ready to begin lining this character.
Okay, so the next thing we have to do is remove the character layers that we don't need. That is the other four. So let's right-click and break apart the layer and then select and delete the parts that we don't need. Ctrl+X here and here. Very important that we padlock the reference layer and name it ref for reference. Next, we make a series of layers for the different body parts. You can be a pretty broad at this point.
You do not have to be too exact. We want more than one layer to work into. So, we'll need one for the head, neck, torso, so I would guess seven or eight. So, we can just think, okay, one for the head, one for the neck, one for the upper torso, lower torso or the groin area, the right arm, the left arm, the right leg, the left leg, and the feet. So, now we have that, we can just throw in some names, and I like to keep the naming convention short and sweet, but easy to see what they are. You want to keep your Timeline really straight. As you can see the screen gets really full.
So I like to keep the things as condense and compact as I can. So, beneath that, there may be the neck. I like to call that torso neck, so like I tend to group it with the torso, beneath that the torso upper and the torso lower. Oops! Again, no need for the O. The right arm, left arm, left leg, and the foot, and again, I'm calling it left leg and left leg foot, because you will find you'll be selecting these two layers together, so I like them to read.
They are a little more easy to follow. Leg Right and leg right foot. Already made a slight error. Right leg should be on top of the leg left. I'm naming them anatomically. The left leg means the character's physical left leg, not the one on the left side of the screen, and it's very important that we keep that accurate. And even at this point, you can begin to roughly say to yourself, okay, the right arm's going to be above the torso, put it above the torso layer. We will tweak these and refine them greatly later on.
Having created our rough layer set, the other thing I like to do is get rid of these horrible random color outlines. It really is nice if you have like a much more standardized color methodology as we've already seen in earlier overviews of the rig process. So, I like to control and select all of the-- hold down the Control key and you can batch select a bunch of layers. Go to your Commands menu and you may remember we've already installed the LayerColor plug-in, the extension. So we select that and I can select a nice deep blue color for all the right layers, and I'm going to select a nice green one for the right ones and just some generic body color.
This one's usually good. There we go. I want to be even pickier and just select an odd color for the reference layer. I find it really helps me to select layers visually. That reduces a little bit of the visual confusion in the scene. Now, we have our named layers and we're going to actually be keeping this naming convention when we begin symbolizing these layers and that'll help that they're color-coded and we are now ready to begin drawing the line art that will be ultimately the final rigged assets that'll constitute our character.
So, we have our character, the layers are set up, they're named, they're colored. So let's save this project and we'll be ready to begin creating the line art in the next lesson.
- Rendering in SWF or AVI
- Creating vectors for the the character body
- Coloring the body
- Rigging a mouth in Flash
- Posing the rig
- Animating head and body movement
- Creating hands
- Understanding facial expressions
- Making the contact poses
- Creating passing poses
- Animating in-betweens

I chose this title because it is clearly based on an old cliche, but I think most of us have observed it enough to accept that there is some reality to it.
We have all seen some bloke who appears very average in regards to looks or physique, but upon further observation their demeanor and dress label them as a person of means. Our suspicion is then clearly confirmed when some absolutely stunning woman comes and stands by his side. Most people would then have a tendency to make a negative judgment on the character of one or both partners within such a relationship. Is that judgment just, and why do we do it?
Suppose the wealthy partner despises most everything about the attractive one other than their looks. Suppose the attractive partner despises most everything about the wealthy one other than their money. Which partner is more deserving of our contempt. I tend to judge the "gold digger" the most, but that is just my prejudice. Truly in these examples, both parties are shallow and somewhat despicable. In this case they deserve each other, but it is rarely that simple.
Suppose the wealthy partner does care for the attractive one, but they chose them over someone less attractive whom they adored. Suppose the attractive partner likes the wealthy one but they have ignored another whom they have a deeper connection with because that person is poor. Do their choices make them shallow people? I say no. There is nothing wrong with considering someones looks or wealth in choosing a mate. It is shallow if you consider only those things. Just as it would be shallow if you only cared about intelligence. It is not shallow to consider all factors, including wealth and looks.
I think that wealth and looks are the two attributes people can possess with the most tangible benefits within our society. As a result it is common or easy to feel pride and envy in their regard. The natural progression is an attempt to label such factors as "superficial". The truth is that wealth and looks are no less substantial than intelligence, Wit, or compassion.
There is a reason why it is rare to see a wealthy man with an ugly woman, or a stunning woman with a man who is completely dirt poor (yes there are always exceptions). It is not because these people are shallow. It is just because they have what they consider to be better options in choosing a mate. I say more power to them.
Do you find it contemptible to prioritize someones looks or wealth when choosing a partner?
Rich guys get hot girls!
|Posted on
|Take our short survey, £100 of Amazon vouchers to be won!
Are you posing a question? What's the point of this thread?
Yes the scent of a boy's rich father's wallet sends the girls swooning and gives them a sense of authority like no other- the annoying pricks that use the money to hide themselves should try a day in the real world...
Surely it's basic human psychology. At the most fundamental level, people are trying to find the best 'mate'. Being the best 'mate' can include, fitness, beauty, height, money e.t.c, these are all factors that contribute in natural selection at the most primal level. When a short woman hooks up with a tall guy, no-one bats an eyelid, but it could be deduced by the same factors as wealth. Height gives the subconscious comfort of being able to provide for a woman, the same as money can.
Rich guys get the kind of girls who go for rich guys. So much is obvious.
Unfortunately, the kind of girls who go for rich guys are not necessarily the kind of girls who make good partners.
Awesome guys, on the other hand, tend to get awesome girls. Awesome girls >>>> gold digging ho's
In an ironic twist, awesome guys also tend to get paid decent money.
The moral of the story: forget being rich, be awesome.
Yes they do apart from black footballers
Sometimes the urge to post a stupid comment is simply too strong.
Looks, personality and assets are the three basic categories that define someone. Valuing one more then the other is a personal choice and there's nothing more annoying then someone who constantly berate others for choosing something other then personality.
At the end of the day you want to be with someone who makes you happy (and to some extent makes them happy) and breaking it down into anything else is just academic. Both the man and woman know what's going on and they are happy with it - the only reason this would be annoying or an issue is if you were jealous..?
Alot of men hide their wealth.
That way, they get to enjoy it without having to constantly beat off avaricious women.
Not necessarily just because they are rich per se. Wealth and success can be the product of other traits such as self-confidence, ambition, motivation, hard-work which are all attractive qualities.
I ain't sayin' she a gold digga...
The problem with being rich is that you can marry a chick and find out that she's only after your money. Naturally, she'll put up with you for a year or so then divorce you and take half your ****. Women eh? Can't live with them, can't live with them
Naturally everyone would like to have more money, but I don't think it's fair to judge people just because they have more money than someone else. Besides, I've had hot girlfriends in the past and I'm more likely to have 50p in my pocket than £50, so it doesn't always hold true.
In other news, it was proven today that 2+2=4
Rich "ugly" men were invisible to women (or held in open contempt by them) until they got rich. If they only date models, so what. Hes come to understand women only want one thing from him, so he's applying the same principle on them as a reaction. Even "ugly" girls are dismissive of guys below a certain "beauty" threshold until they get desperate because they've been exclusively aiming for 10/10s and getting nowhere. So successful men of this nature have earned the right to prejudice their choice of partner.
The man deserves no contempt, after all he is the one being used and been abused for something he couldn't help. The woman/gold-digger absolutely deserves contempt, however if these type of men wish to give these lazy vapid mercenaries an easy life then you can't blaim them for taking advantage.
This is new.
I'm so broke I repel *****es

Surely judging someone based on wealth - and thus the factors mentioned above - is a lot less shallow than judging someone based on their looks, which is something they have very little control over and which says nothing about their personality and ability as a partner.
I guess it all comes down to our perverse desire to improve other people's perception of ourselves being stronger than our desire to actually improve ourselves.
Women always call me ugly until they find out how much I earn.
Then they call me ugly and poor.
Choosing a partner for financial reasons is no more shallow than choosing one because they are good looking, and nearly everybody factors that into the equation. In an ideal world, everyone would make romantic choices based on personality, but don't condemn those who think about money when you are almost definitely susceptible to being just as insensitive.

Arrowhead Golf Club Under New Management
Evergreen Alliance Golf Limited LP (Eagle Golf), of Dallas, Texas, and CNL Income Properties have purchased 42 golf courses from American Golf Corp., the Arrowhead Golf Club in Littleton, CO being one of the courses. Under the new management of Eagle Golf, the Arrowhead Golf Club will provide a quality and memorable golf experience to tourists, tournaments players and local golfers alike.
Arrowhead Golf Club is a must-play. The Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed golf course winds through and around towering red sandstone rocks that are over 300 million years old. Golf Digest has recognized Arrowhead Golf Club as one of America's "Top 75 Public Golf Courses."
Recently voted Colorado's "No. 1 Most Scenic Course, Public or Resort" by Colorado Avid Golfer Magazine, the Arrowhead Golf Club is truly the golf experience of a lifetime; or more accurately, millions of lifetimes.
The clubhouse patio, banquet room and tournament pavilion have spectacular views of the majestic red rocks, making the facility a popular choice for golf tournaments, banquets and weddings.
"When I first saw the site of the golf course at Roxborough Park, I was overwhelmed by the magnificent gifts that nature has bestowed on the property. The cathedral-like conglomerate rocks jutting up from the rolling terrain at the foothills of the Rockies is a majestic setting in which to establish a unique golf course." - Robert Trent Jones, Jr.

Andrew Grace delights and struggles through that process each season with the Bama Art House Film Series, a production of the Arts and Humanities Council of Tuscaloosa held at the beautiful Bama Theatre in downtown Tuscaloosa.
Grace, along with a selection committee (including Rebecca Rothman, Ann Bourne and David Allgood), carefully pick roughly eight films -- mostly of the independent, documentary or foreign variety -- they hope entice and challenge a public of film literate culturalists who can't find these titles at the local multiplex.
A film professor at the University of Alabama and a documentary filmmaker himself, Grace took a series model he discovered at grad school at the University of Wyoming and ran with it in Tuscaloosa hoping the community would latch on.
So far, we've seen Cannes Film Festival winners like "Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives," critical indie darlings like "Tiny Furniture," unlikely Oscar contenders like "Winter's Bone" and crowd-pleasers like "Best Worst Movie" on the menu, their 35mm prints projected on a giant screen literally under the stars of the venue.
Depending on the titles on the Bama's large marquee hanging over Greensboro Avenue, the crowds come in either droves or handfuls. But Grace and his team are proud to fill the art house cinema void in Tuscaloosa, a void you wouldn't think makes a lot of sense in a college town.
Grace talks to us about the selection process, why the series only shows films once and fighting to screen films with little regard for how they will be received by the public.
Ben Flanagan: Talk a little bit about the process of selecting movies for each series. Who has final say, and is there ever much argument about which films get picked among those looking through the titles?
Andrew Grace: It's always very civil and thus far it's really worked organically. Sometimes they have to rein in my more eclectic tastes, but typically it's a group effort with everyone suggesting films and a good dialogue back and forth. Unfortunately, a lot of the films we want to bring we can't even get in the first place. So that limits the discussion somewhat. Like this coming season I really wanted to bring "Project Nim" -- which is fabulous, I saw it in April at the Full Frame Documentary Festival in Durham, North Carolina -- and the new Miranda July film "The Future." But the distributor won't let us have either one of them until February at the earliest. So, those unfortunate limitations help to steer us toward a final schedule.
BF: Describe the community response to the BAH series. Are you getting the attendance and feedback you set out for when you initially put this together?
AG: I think the response has been really great, but our attendance has flagged a little in the last series. I think I was so personally satisfied to have these movies coming weekly to the theater down the street that I forgot there's the whole issue of promotion to remind people to come out and see them. So we're doing a new campaign starting this fall to promote the series, especially to the students and faculty at UA. But it's like anything else -- our attention is so fragmented with a multitude of entertainment options that it's hard to compete sometimes with Netflix and iPads and video games and work. I mean, I'm personally missing three of the movies myself this summer series!
AG: It was really both of those. I think the one way that a theater can compete with all of our entertainment options at home is to remind people that they live in a community and to remind them that spending time in communal events -- like a film screening -- is infinitely more satisfying than watching a movie alone in the dark. The movie series isn't just a screening, it's a social occasion. After each film there are always dozens of folks outside the theater hanging out and talking about the film. That kind of conversation is enormously satisfying for me because, as a filmmaker, it's nice to see an audience actually talk about a movie after it's over. So, the decision to screen only once a week was partly to create an event. But the other issue is that the Bama Theater is a multi-use complex and getting a string of dates to show a movie for an entire week would take away other opportunities for dance, theater, and musical performances. So, we're trying to strike a nice balance integrating this series into the life of the theater and the life of Tuscaloosa.
BF: Do you ever feel pressure to bring the right movies to the theater? It's always difficult to gauge what Tuscaloosa wants from a cultural standpoint? Does the city have a certain artistic "taste" you're beginning to notice? What plays better than others?
AG: To be honest, I typically fight for movies I want to see with little regard to how they'll be received. That's why I'm not alone on the committee. Take for instance a movie like "Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives," which played a few weeks ago. Here's a small art film from Thailand that won the Palme d'Or at Cannes but never held any commercial promise for U.S. distribution. It probably played no more than 20 screens in the entire country. And Tuscaloosa, Ala. was one of them. That, to me, is the entire purpose of the Bama Art House -- to bring exceptional, diverse, creative, and visionary cinema to Tuscaloosa. Not everyone is going to like every film, but taking those risks to bring really unique and inspired movies is the whole purpose of this endeavor. Again, that's my opinion. Like I said, this is why I'm not alone. As for "tastes," I think that comedies play well here, especially cult or dark comedies. Those are usually a big hit with the college cinephiles. But I must say that it's a shame that more college-aged cinephiles don't embrace all genres. The number of terrible comedies made by student filmmakers demonstrates that they might be well served by understanding the nuances of dramas, thrillers and experimental films.
AG: It definitely influences what we bring because we have a strict rule to not bring anything that played at the Cobb. Last year I actually noticed a trend that makes our job a little harder. Because the Academy nominated 10 Best Pictures, the Cobb (like, I assume, many theaters around the country) did its best to bring as many of those films as it could. So, even if it was only for one week and on their smallest screen, they brought smaller films like "The Fighter" and "Black Swan." Those films would have been obvious picks for BAH, but after their nomination they increased their box office and played these multiplexes. I think it's great that these films played more screens, whether it's our screen at the Bama or the one at the Cobb, but this effect of 10 nominees will probably continue to influence our spring and summer series.
BF: So far, has the BAH series lived up to your expectations? Has it become what you thought it would or could be?
AG: I'm very proud of the series, and personally, I love seeing these films every week. But I would like to see the series grow to become a stronger cultural presence in Tuscaloosa. I think a big part of the motivation for me in advocating for the creation of this series was for it to become the focal point of a film culture here. I don't think we're there yet, but I hope we can keep working toward that goal. When I tell friends who live in other parts of the country about this series, they're very jealous of the caliber of movies we bring here. I hope as we continue to grow that more Tuscaloosans realize what an extraordinary treat it is to have world class cinema playing at a beautiful theater in downtown for dirt cheap ticket prices every week.
BF: What can we look forward to this fall?
AG: For some reason, the Cobb didn't bring "Tree of Life." So, we start the series with that. Others slated are "Cave of Forgotten Dreams," "The Trip," "Terri," "Tabloid," and a French comedy called "The Names of Love." We're also playing the Manhattan Film Festival as one of the BAH dates, and we've got two more slots left. Decisions, decisions...
[The BAH Series will screen Kelly Reichardt's critically acclaimed "Meek's Cutoff" on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at the Bama Theatre in downtown. Watch the trailer below.]

"There will always be those who feel more comfortable not venturing from the warmth of the hearth, but there are those who prefer to look out the window and wonder what is beyond the horizon."
- Jimmy Buffett
"A Salty Piece of Earth."
Article Photos
Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band play at 7 p.m. Friday at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center's A&B Amphitheater. Tickets are $59 general admission and $89 and $136 for reserved seating (plus applicable fees). Tickets are available from the MACC box office, 242-7469, www.mauiarts.org.
King Paris, aka great guitarist Rick Vito, brings his bellydancers and his hypnotic "West-meets-East" show to Stella Blues Saturday. Check out the tall fellow who goes by the name of "Chandu the Genie Giant" on drums.
Fans of Jimmy Buffett can now indulge in one of their favorite pastimes, any time they desire, immersed in the tropical paradise of Margaritaville Online. Launched in January, the new social adventure game encapsulates the escapist state of mind espoused by the beloved troubadour in some of his classic songs.
Praised by Gamezebo as "easily one of the biggest and most enjoyable games on Facebook," Margaritaville Online allows Parrotheads to construct their own virtual island resort, munch a cheeseburger, sip a Land Shark beer, play minigames like Limbo, build a boat and fish, form a band, and hang out at Captain Tony's Boats and Planes outpost or Joe Merchant's Trading Post, all the while listening to their favorite Jimmy tunes.
"With Margaritaville Online, fans across the globe can party together any time and any place," says Buffett.
It took Jimmy Buffett about 15 minutes to come up with the lyrics to his legendary song "Margaritaville" back in 1977.
A hit on his breakthrough album "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes," it initially allowed him to buy his first boat, and eventually create a massive business empire founded on its laid-back imagery.
Since the emergence of rock 'n' roll icons like Elvis Presley, popular musicians have parlayed their fame into lucrative marketing ventures, but probably none as successfully as Buffett, who has championed a remarkably successful career around singing tropically inflected songs about relishing the good life and having fun.
The popular entertainer overseas a multimillion-dollar business that encompasses restaurants, retail stores, consumer products, a 24-hour Radio Margaritaville satellite station (featuring Jimmy's music plus artists as varied as Bob Marley, Little Feat, the Eagles and Hawaii's Jake Shimabukuro), a Margaritaville Hotel and lately, casinos.
Last fall, the Margaritaville Casino opened in Las Vegas at the Flamingo, featuring a 5 O'Clock Somewhere bar, 220 slot machines and 22 gaming tables. Two other Margaritaville casinos are being built in Biloxi, Miss., and Bossier City, La.
"It was a natural process," says Buffett about the evolution of his commercial interests. "One thing I learned along the trail is if you don't take an interest in the business of music then somebody else is going to do it for you, and most of the time they will do it badly. Like it or not, it is a business. The most important thing as it comes along is you remain in touch with what's going on out there, and have enough wisdom to hire great people to run the business."
Translating his music and beach-loving lifestyle into a successful brand, Buffett's Parrothead fans can stock up on products ranging from Margaretville Coffee and Land Shark golf bags, to Lost Shakers of Salt, Fins Up car magnets and "Wastin Your Vote Away Again" Buffett for President in 2012 caps.
A distinguished author, his assorted novels, children's stories, and "A Pirate Looks at Fifty" travelogue have landed him at the top of both The New York Times' fiction and nonfiction best-seller lists, a feat only attained by a few literary legends like Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck and William Styron.
On the music front, Buffett has successfully marketed "destination" CDs to fans in recent years. These live soundboard recordings from assorted concert venues, include the double CD/DVD "Live in Hawaii" taped at the MACC and the Waikiki Shell in 2004.
"Our fan base is really into destination shows," he explains. "Maui and the Shell is one of our best-selling CDs. I never really focused on trying to have hit records. I knew my strongest asset was being a live performer, so I concentrated more on that and giving the best bang for the buck, and hopefully people from that would be turned on to the records."
Buffet's most recent release, the double acoustic CD "Encores," features songs performed at the end of concerts in 2008 and 2009. Closing with "A Pirate Looks at Forty," accompanied by Jake Shimabukuro on ukulele, Buffett performs some of his most memorable songs and a couple of covers by Tom Petty and Bob Dylan.
"I fell into doing acoustic songs at the end of every show, mostly my stuff," he continues. "It's great with my fans that I don't have to really play the game. All I'm out there to do is to add to people's collection, things I hope they will like. We don't have to compete with radio airplay and record company marketing schemes. We just hope to supply our fans with entertainment."
And that they do, as Buffet and his Coral Reefer Band are guaranteed to generate a festive atmosphere in concert.
"His show was two hours of fun," praised the Florida Times Union in February. "His music provides the inspiration to chuck the necktie, toss back beer with reckless abandon and forget the worries of the day."
"In a two hours-plus show at a packed Amway Center, Buffett effortlessly delivered the laid-back vibe that he has managed to turn into a worldwide brand," noted an Orlando Sentinel review.
Bringing his latest "Welcome to Fin Land Tour" to the MACC on Friday, Buffett concludes: "It's been a long and wonderful road. I'm grateful that I'm still doing it and that people are still coming to the shows. I'm not the first person to create a career out of escapism. I think it's a necessity, people need it. There's no better thrill than to get on stage and feel the energy of a big crowd."
The exotic sounds of King Paris and The Hypnotics, plus guest percussionist Chandu the Genie Giant, will entrance Stella Blues on Saturday evening. And as a bonus, acclaimed guitarist Rick Vito will open the show.
King Paris? Chandu the Genie Giant?
This "West-meets-East" night, which will include belly dancers, a unique musical amalgamation of roots rock, world beat, exotica and Bollywood Bhangra, plus smoke and motion lights, has been conjured by the former Fleetwood Mac guitarist and current lead vocalist/guitarist with the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band.
Exploring an interest in Indian guitar music Vito was inspired to concoct the character of King Paris.
"I found out about these Indian slide guitarists, Mohan Bhatt, who made a record with Ry Cooder; and Debashish Bhattcharya, and these records just pulsated through me," Rick reports. "It opened up a whole new world. I dressed up for the first time on Maui, actually, at a private party. People went wild, they loved it. It's one of the funnest things I've ever done."
Before the birth of King Paris, Vito spent years playing with many leading artists including Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Bob Seger, Stevie Nicks, John Mayall, John Fogerty, Roy Orbison and Little Richard.
In late 1987 he replaced Lindsey Buckingham in Fleetwood Mac, and spent five years touring and recording with the legendary band, playing on two albums including "Behind The Mask," which featured several of his own songs.
Most recently he played on a new album project by Boz Scaggs and contributed a song to Maria Muldaur's latest CD.
For the Maui gig King Paris will be backed by bassist Leonardo, keyboardist Marco, drummer Paolo, percussionist Carlo, and of course, special guest on exotic drums, the great Chandu, who happens to bear a marked resemblance to Mick Fleetwood.
"This is the first time with Chandu," says Rick. "He's looking forward to the spirit of it."
Never thought we'd ever see British music icon Morrissey perform on Maui. Moz, as he's known to fans, plays the MACC on May 18. For those a little puzzled - as in who? - here's a New York Times summation: "Morrissey isn't just any singer, he has become one of the defining rock stars of the past few decades by virtue of his grand voice, his grander songs, and his charming habit of playing with melodrama."
Morrissey's shows tend to sell out, quickly. His Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium show in November sold out in 20 minutes, and his appearance in December at Puebla in Mexico was the fastest selling pop concert in the city's history.
On Sunday, Jimmy Borges and Willie K will join the Maui Pops Orchestra for a fun "Swing Into Spring" concert in Castle Theater at the MACC. The orchestra's annual spring concert will include the Moonglow All-Star Swing Band under the direction of Lisa Owen. Howard Dicus will emcee and Lily Meola will make a cameo.
* Complete with a dance floor, the event will feature swing music favorites from the past. The concert starts at 3:30 p.m. Tickets are $10, $25, $35, $45 and half-price for kids 12 years and younger, plus applicable fees, available from the MACC as above.

Remember Killer is Dead ? The Suda 51 one game wasn't one of his most famous, but it's only been a year so it should still be fresh. It was a stylish action-adventure game about a man who hunts down murderers. It gained quite a bit of notoriety for its sexist portrayal of women, not to mention its stylized presentation. Understandably, it was declared one of those games people either love or hate. And now, PC owners will get the chance to decide if they revere or revile Mondo Zappa.
Killer is Dead's official PC release date is now May 9, 2014. Deep Silver is handling the port, which will end up being something of an ultimate edition of the game. For $19.99, people will be getting the absolute best version of Killer is Dead available. Which is pretty darn awesome, considering the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions are still going for about $29.99.
So what, you may ask, will that $30 get you. Quite a bit, actually. You're getting the full Killer is Dead experience. In additon to the game, you also get the Smooth Operator Pack, which was DLC for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. It has a standard mission where Mondo goes after Sebastian, a Gigolo mission where you hit on Betty, and some new costume options for Mondo, Vivienne, and Mika. There's new content for the game itself, with the PC version getting an exclusive Theater Mode, where all event scenes and special extra footage is stored, as well as a Nightmare difficulty level.
Basically, if you were ever even remotely interested in Killer is Dead, the PC version is the one you should keep on your radar. In fact, if you're truly smart, you won't buy it right away. It comes out in May, after all, and the Steam Summer Sale should happen around August. Maybe, if you're patient, you can get it at a 50% discount.

AIBD/FES Publication on Broadcasting for All: Focus on Gender - Guidelines Contextualized and Translated to Vietnamese
AIBD together with UNESCO–Ha Noi and the Ministry of Information and Communications in Viet Nam have collaborated to contextualize and translate the English version of the AIBD-FES Publication Broadcasting for All: Focus on Gender to Vietnamese language.
This was the very first achievement to operationalize the guidelines and translate into the local language.
The project, which was completed in October 2011, also included an in-country workshop which was organized within the framework of the Government of Vietnam/UN Joint Programme on Gender Equality and funded by the Millennium Development Goals Achievement Fund where twenty three participants from media organizations in Vietnam familiarized the guidelines.
Participants exchanged on the new laws, gender equality, domestic violence and migration and trafficking during the training. The national consultant for the workshop was Dr. Le Thi Qui while the AIBD consultants were Jai Chandiram from India and Anothai Udomsilp from Thailand.
The co-coordinator was Heidi Kivekas from UNESCO–Ha Noi."Broadcasting for All: Focus on Gender", published in early 2011 by AIBD and supported by FES, was a result of a long-term project based on extensive research, review and analysis carried out in AIBD member countries and undertaken by a working group from a broad range of countries beyond the geographical boundaries of the Asia-Pacific region.

Papu's Pyramid (ひとくいばな テンプル lit. Man-eating Flower Temple in Japanese) is the home track of Papu Papu and is the seventh race course in Crash Team Racing. It and the battle arena, Rampage Ruins, are based upon the levels The Lost City and Sunset Vista (from Crash Bandicoot) as the faces on the side of the walls are the same as the ones on these levels. It is also where Papu Papu is raced in the game. It is in the Red (as well as Crash Cove, Mystery Caves, and Blizzard Bluff) and Purple (as well as Roo's Tubes, Dragon Mines, and Hot Air Skyway) Gem Cups. It is also in the Nitro Cup grand prix (as well as Mystery Caves, Cortex Castle, and Tiny Arena). Scattered throughout the course are Venus fly traps which devour racers that get too close.
This track has three shortcuts which can be very good to get players from last place to first place. All of them are in the second half of the track. The first and third shortcuts are demonstrated in the video below. The second is on the platform to the left of the jump after the first shortcut, where players can get extra wumpa fruit if they need it. It is very difficult to achieve both on the same lap.
CTR Challenge
- C: After the first few Venus fly traps this letter can be found on the platform which the player will have to jump to make the gap.
- T: This letter is on the end of the main pyramid which requires a leap.
- R: Hidden round a tight corner near the end of the circuit.
- It is possible to jump off a wall near the start and land at the finish line but the game will not count it as a lap.
- The Venus fly traps have their Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back design.

A national historic site, the Laurier House (pc.gc.ca), 1km east of the Laurier Bridge, is the former home of prime ministers Sir Wilfred Laurier and William Lyon Mackenzie King. Laurier, Canada's first French-speaking prime minister, served from 1896 to 1911, while Mackenzie King, his self-proclaimed "spiritual son", was Canada's longest serving – from 1921 to 1930 and 1935 to 1948. Notoriously pragmatic, King enveloped his listeners in a fog of words through which his political intentions were barely discernible. The perfect illustration – and his most famous line – was "not necessarily conscription, but conscription if necessary", supposedly a clarification of his plans at the onset of World War II. Even more famous than his obfuscating rhetoric was his personal eccentricity. His fear that future generations would view him simply as the heir of his grandfather William Lyon Mackenzie – who led the Upper Canada rebellions of the 1830s – eventually led him into spiritualism. He held regular séances to tap the advice of great dead Canadians, including Laurier, who allegedly communicated to him through his pet dog.
King's possessions dominate the house; look for his crystal ball and a portrait of his obsessively adored mother, in front of which he placed a red rose every day. The house also contains a reconstruction of a study belonging to prime minister Lester B. Pearson, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in resolving the Suez Crisis. Pearson also had a stab at devising a new flag for his country and, although it was rejected, the mock-up he commissioned, with blue stripes at either end to symbolize the oceans, is on display here.

Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43; Romans 8:12-25
When I sit with the Washington Post and my morning coffee, I have a sense that I'm hovering on a threshold; like many Americans, I remember September 11 and feel as if I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Matthew 13:31-33, 44-49a
When Jesus tells a story, he compels us to look at holy things with new eyes, and he illustrates his stories with references to ordinary, homely things. If he were operating in the 21st century, I doubt that he would need a blackboard for complex mathematical formulas, or the arcane jargon of a modern expert—whether economist, computer maven, biochemist or theologian.
Luke 23:33-43
"See, I am sending you out like lambs into the midst of wolves" (Luke 10:3).

The Big Chemistry Secret
When our babies are born, they come into a world of sight and sound that can be overwhelming. And what do we do? We speak in a language they don't understand. We show them toys they can't use. As they grow we put maps on their wall when they can't understand the concept of Earth. And then a miracle happens. They begin to speak. They start making sentences, writing letters, learning words.
We should have the periodic table of elements on the wall as well. Everything on our planet is made of the items on the periodic table. It is a very basic tool. But isn't Chemistry hard? Sure, it's hard, if it's guarded like a secret and sprung on our children when they are teenagers.
What if we taught no math to our children but then, in 6th grade, popped out with the square root table and told them we were now going to start math? We would find that most unusual but we do this very thing with science.
But if, like math, we presented the periodic table in a basic way exposing them to the next level each year, do you think chemistry would be intimidating to them? Just like learning math, they would know it, be fluent in its use and accept it as a normal part of life from which they could choose to continue their studies. Instead, America is falling behind in the Sciences, a shame for the country which lead the race to space.
So why is it not on the walls in kindergarten? Why is it not in children's programming? Why isn't it in children's books? We can present it in bright, colorful and elementary ways, just like we do letters, colors, numbers and shapes. I believe it's because many people fear chemistry. And I believe that fear is passed on to our children through our silence.
In case you are afraid of it or what they will ask, I have written a simple and important book that's easy to understand that will answer all those questions and show you how to help them. It's The Fearless and Simple Guide to The Periodic Table. I have other items to help as well. The Fearless and Simple Guide to The Periodic Table book two and The Periodic Table of Elements Coloring Book. Teaching the table is easy. All it takes is placing one on the wall. You do not have to be a chemist to teach the periodic table just as you do not have to be Pythagorus to teach math. As a science teacher, I understand many people are not comfortable with the sciences so I wrote a booklet to give you the answers to the questions your children will probably ask you. I explain the periodic table in a way that is fearless and simple. I also provide lessons you can use to facilitate learning which will not interfere with your current and probably overwhelming schedule. For example, we can point to items on the table and show them copper when we have a penny. I hope you agree that placing a periodic table on the wall is a wonderful gift you can give your children. Our children are capable of learning basic chemistry at an early age. Lets hope that our society changes its attitudes about Chemistry and our little folks. It's my dream to see it happen!

Federalist No. 30
Federalist No. 30 is an essay by Alexander Hamilton, the thirtieth of The Federalist Papers. It was published on December 28, 1787 under the pseudonym Publius, the name under which all The Federalist Papers were published. This is the first of seven essays by Hamilton on the then-controversial issue of taxation. It is titled, "Concerning the General Power of Taxation."
Brief Precis[edit]
Hamilton details that taxes are extremely important to our government. Hamilton believes that the power to collect taxes deemed necessary is crucial for the government. Hamilton then details the differences between internal and external taxes. He argues that the federal government needs a power of taxation equal to its necessities, both present and future. External taxes alone cannot provide enough revenue for a government as extensive as the one proposed, especially in a time of war.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Texas Tech coach Mike Leach went into spring football expecting one of his three potential starting running backs to separate himself from the others.
It never happened.
Aaron Crawford, Shannon Woods and Baron Batch continually got better, improving on any weaknesses they might have, leaving Leach with plenty of competition - not that he minds.
"Are we going to have to play with just one? I don't think so," Leach said. "I think there's enough room for all three of them to have a role. Eventually, what will develop there will probably be some fine distinctions on this situation, this type of block or this type of route and so forth that we'll personnel around it. If it remains as competitive as it is right now, I would have no problem playing either of the three or all three of them."

Funding available
hosted by the Centre for Citizenship, Civil Society and Rule of Law (CISRUL)at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland
Workshop: Monday 25th – Tuesday 26th June
PhD summer school: Wednesday 27th June – Thursday 28th June
We propose to examine the concept of 'civil society' not just in contemporary Europe and North America but historically and in contexts across the world as well as across academic disciplines. We will seek not to define 'civil society' but to identify the consequences – political, legal, social, moral, epistemological – of particular ways in which 'civil' and 'society' have been defined in different times and places. In so doing we will pose five overarching questions:
1. What has been held (in different times and places) to make a society (or part of it) civil as opposed to uncivil (or barbarous)?
2. How has civil society been distinguished as a domain or sphere of society from domains considered non-civil (as opposed to uncivil) such as politics, the military, the ecclesiastical or religious, the economy, and law?
3. When civil society has been used to refer to one part of a broader society, such as recently for the NGO sector, how is the civil part supposed to relate to society as a whole? What or who is included in or excluded from civil society, and on what grounds? For example, do issues considered non-public get excluded from discussion in civil society, and if so, what does that say about the link between concepts of civil society and of the public?
4. What notions of society lie behind notions of civil society? This latter question will push us to reflect on concepts of society, from the medieval and early modern periods to the 19th-century birth of social sciences to contemporary debates about whether society exists or not.
5. Are notions of civil society (and society) defined by law or by some other means, and what is the difference in practice?
We are calling for abstracts of twenty-minute presentations that would respond to our questions and help to open up discussion – over half the workshop time will be devoted to discussion - among scholars from the range of disciplines that will be represented at the workshop.
Confirmed speakers include Jeffrey Alexander (Sociology, Yale), Maurizio Viroli (Political Theory, Princeton) and Philip Oxhorn (Institute for the Study of International Development, McGill).
The deadline is Friday 13th April. Further information and applications forms are available at www.abdn.ac.uk/cisrul
CISRUL is also offering PhD studentships to start in September 2012 - details on the website.

We went trick-or-treating 2 years ago (when I was 18).
I went with a mate from Tuart College, Lisa (19), her younger sister, whose name I cannot remember (15) and another mate from Tuart College, Chino (19).
Unfortunately`we were trick-or-treating in the old italian distrct, half the doors we knocked on were owned by people who could hardly speak english or understood why we were there dressed as we were!
We did find one British husband and wife though, who gave us a whole lot of chocolate
After that we trekked into town to the seedy nightclub district, and rendevouzed with some other Tuart College folk, where we found our way into a derelict exibition centre, it was pretty spooky, papers, tools and ping pong balls everywhere!
As we ventured home, we all felt the infamous loom of the TEE exams over all our heads...

Interesting. It really shouldn't be anywhere near that bad, even using
an "out of the box" install unless you've got some configuration issues,
so it's worth looking for common problems.
What version are you running? Have you run sa-update? Can you at least
quote X-Spam-Status headers for some of missed spam? (even better would
be to put whole emails up as examples somewhere on the web, but the
X-Spam-Status will sometimes show us what's going on by itself, and it's
a whole lot easier..)
Have you looked at the hits on those spam emails?
Does ALL_TRUSTED ever show up in spam? If so, read
Does the spam match BAYES_00? If so, use sa-learn to clear your bayes
database and retrain it, as something clearly went wrong there.
Do any of the spams match WHITELIST_*.. if so, you need to look at your
whitelisting configs. The most common mistake here is doing
"whitelist_from *@mydomain.com", and ending up whitelisting all spam
that's spoofing your source.
I see you're using Pyzor, do you have a recent Net:NS and working DNS?
(ie: do any spams match rules starting with "RCVD_IN_")

I think we need to find out why your base install isn't working properly
before we start adding things.

The probable existence of at least two distinct types of acute human hepatitis, their probable viral etiology, their different incubation periods, and their different primary modes of transmission were first suggested in the late 1930s.1 Type A (infectious) hepatitis appeared to behave in a relatively orthodox manner as a basically enteric infectious disease, but the behavior of type B (serum) hepatitis was shrouded in mystery. Limited human transmission studies in the early 1940s, while establishing its etiologic distinction from type A, led to epidemiologic dogma which went essentially unchallenged for more than 20 years. The concept of its exclusively parenteral mode of transmission was simple enough, but explanations of its origin and means for long-time survival provided fascinating challenges in epidemiology. Even though cross-challenge studies revealed no discernible immunologic relationship, it was suggested that type B virus represented an evolutionary offspring of type A, peculiarly adapted to

Album Review
Released as a tie-in to
Tina Turner
's fall 2008 tour of North America,
follows her last greatest-hits album
All the Best: The Hits
by a mere three years and it has the same number of tracks as its predecessor, six of which are songs shared between the two compilations. This makes
feel similar to
All the Best
but it's a different compilation in many ways, with a broader scope, reaching back for "River Deep Mountain High" and "The Acid Queen," neither of which were on the 2005 comp, and containing two previously unreleased bonus tracks. It also contains a hefty dose of live tracks -- "Let's Stay Together," "I Can't Stand the Rain," and "The Best," are all present in live versions -- her James Bond theme "Goldeneye" and a 1993 re-recording of "Proud Mary." So,
covers a lot of ground and gives a pretty good indication of
's far-reaching talents and long-ranging career, but it's also a bit of a mess, jumping between eras, overlooking some big hits, and substituting live versions when the studio is superior. So don't think of
as a definitive comp, something that has yet to be assembled on
, but rather as a sampler that contains some, but not nearly all, of her best.

With her little flounces, the narrow ribbon that ties in the back, and her soft, naturally crinkled, slightly uneven material, Vivienne is the vintage summer dress you always wished you had. Except not, of course, but we won't tell if you don't. Button front, lined skirt.
