But I will mention Tiger Woods, who for many years was an advertiser's and broadcaster's dream. He too used to be one of my favorites. Before his unforgivable (IMHO) personal transgressions came to light, I was among many who would have said that he was as All-American as you can get.
I can tell that you meant no harm, Robeye , and I hope you understand that I'm not picking on you.
If I seem overly fixated on your original reference to hair color, here is my reason: if I do not point out (politely) that blondness is not synonymous with or deserving of automatic unanimous popularity, then I feel that I am "enabling" the perpetuation of the stereotype. By saying something, I hope to chip away at the lingering stereotype and make any and all messengers think twice before they invoke it as casual shorthand or a throwaway line. (Although "fair-haired" has not died out [yet?] either, I myself avoid using the expression.)
And I always love hearing about fine-looking women who dye their hair darker, such as Tessa Virtue and Meryl Davis (ETA: assuming what I have read about them is true), and the actress from "Modern Family," whose name escapes me at the moment (ETA: Sofia Vergara, who has talked openly about dyeing her naturally blonde hair) .
Everyone is entitled to her/his favorites (and non-favorites). Gold is fortunate to have you among her ardent fans. (As for Maroney, I have a theory that her face was widely misinterpreted, but don't worry, I do not think this thread is the place for it. )
(I don't claim to remember to what extent Yamaguchi's Olympic gold immediately resulted in monetary opportunities. But if the list cited by Mathman is reliable, her current net worth is tied with Boitano's at $18 million. Not too shabby. For comparison: Scott Hamilton = $30 million; Peggy Fleming = $8 million; Shaun White = $20 million.)
Turning to the pros and cons of "corn-fed," ... just kidding, I'm not touching that one, LOL.
ETA: Thanks to Mathman for his update on Mr. Pell.
Patrick Chan dissolves easily into statistical trends, however, his scores definitely do NOT. There are two clear top teams in Dance. Yuna does impact the open-ness of the Ladies field. Who care about Pairs? (Not me. LOL)
A minor quibble: while Kristi's net worth is now, relative to peers, impressive, she's had a long time in which to make it (eg the efffects, both direct and indirect, of her participation in "Dancing With The Stars"). I still suspect that if a financial snapshot had been taken in the year after Olympics glory, her earnings would have been nowhere near the level of a Janet Lynn or a Dorothy Hamill.
(Edit: I'm a huge fan of Tiger the golfer as well, even after his run-in with the fire hydrant)
But overall the thing I hate most about her is that she hides behind "being a woman". It was her stick in Indycar all the time - she'd be in a wreck (most often causing it), and then she'd go charging down the pitlane, shoving and pushing and punching the chests of the other poor blokes involved in the wrecks, screaming at them and blaming them for it - knowing darn well that none of them would ever dare so much as push her back because there were cameras and they couldn't possibly lay a hand on a woman, no matter how much she was laying into them. It was utterly disgusting. Her diva antics, her poor attitude, and her sense of entitlement are unbelievable.
And whether you like it or not, her career IS based upon her posing in a bikini. How do you think she got her first big drive? Bikini photoshoot. Although GoDaddy.com are reportedly getting quite sick of her antics and are preparing to dump her, since their current Indycar driver, James Hinchcliffe, is a much more likeable and marketable character, rather than some diva princess pitching fits every time something doesn't go her way.
Although sometimes I get the sense that advertisers look like they are really straining to make a point. In other words, the real message of some of these efforts seems to be: "Look how open-minded we are!"
Yes, I agree, the normative prescriptors have made significant headway in recent decades. But there is still some ways to go before it becomes the new pragmatic diagnostics .
Shifting gears, is anyone up to more discussion of whether falls are sufficiently punished by the IJS.?
In diving, a "failed dive" automatically results in zero points. There are five stages of a dive that that contribute to the score: the staring position, the approach, the take-off, the flight, and the entry. If the entry is wrong (meaning you hand on your back or stomach), that's a failed dive. I suppose the analogy in figure skating would be under-rotation combined with a fall. In the case of a failed dive, it doesn't, matter how wonderful the take-off and form in the air were, the dive failed.
There are also deductions for a "balk" (I guess that would be like a popped jump), and for not doing the type of dive that was announced (flutz). There is also a deduction for hitting your head on the diving board on the way down (crashing into the boards? dropping your partner on her head is pairs?)
I learned this by watching the "diving with the stars" show Splash.
If you will allow me a new little tangent that is unrelated to jumps -- but is related to popularity of Olympic sports:
Do you watch diving during the Summer Olympics too? Am just curious whether the celebrity diving show has appealed to you -- and even been instructive to you -- in a way that NBC Olympics coverage has not?
Eisler's infidelity with his celeb partner ruined the concept of celebrity skating shows for me (making me regret cheering for B/E during their heyday), but do you think the celebrity shows of the past had any positive effect on skating's popularity? (I honestly don't know if that was even one of their goals.)
(I like Olympic diving -- without being a serious student of the rules. The few random snippets of "Splash" that I have seen have not drawn me into watching at any length, mostly because I really worry about the celebs injuring themselves.)
Personally, I don' think the risk-reward ratio is quite right in skating. There's insufficient penalty to prevent skaters who are not consistent with the big tricks from attempting them. Think of some of the debates we've had here... "Yes, Skater X fell, but he was less than 1/4 turn short and he clearly held the jump for nearly a second before he fell, so that should be rewarded with some technical merit; it's not like he doubled the jump... I can even make a case for neutral GOE because the takeoff was excellent... blahblahblah"
Contrast that with something simple like: "He did not successfully land the jump. No credit and a standard penalty for the fall."
For some reason, though, I never took it into my head to learn anything about the scoring. As far as I can remember, they never said much about it in the Olympic telecasts. About the only thing I knew was, big splash, bad; no splash, good.
I didn't really watch the celebrity show Splash. It just happened to be on TV in the background a couple of times, and I caught some of it by accident. My feeling about the show was the same as yours -- how can they put such a dangerous show on television? What if someone fell on his head and ended up quadriplegic?
On the last dive in the finals, one of the contestants did not make the rotations and landed flat on her face. She was dazed and had the wind knocked out of her, and the lifeguard had to jump in and help her. When the judges gave their marks they said, well, by rights that was a failed dive, but since it was so high on the difficulty scale I'll bend the rules and give you a three. So that made me curious enough to look up the rules on the Internet.
As for the attempts at Skating with Celebrities shows in the U.S., they were duds. The Canadian one with hockey players was successful because hockey players are a big deal in Canada and also because, well, the hockey guys can skate. Plus, there was something entertaining in the image of a big bruising tough-guy being led about by a petite little pixy of a pairs skater.
Back in the day, Michelle Kwan did not always skate perfectly, but if she actually fell down there was a gasp of incredulity from the crowd. When she fell at the 2002 Olympics, it was well understood that the gold medal was gone. How can you give the gold medal to someone who FELL DOWN?
By the same token, when Plushenko fell in the short program, it was not just, "oh, too bad," it was shocking. We expected Olympic contenders to stay on their feet.
I couldn't tell you the rules for diving, but I always enjoy watching it at the Olympics, and one big reason is the splendid commentary given by Cynthia Potter. While I'm watching, she makes it completely understandable, though I don't retain the rules in my memory after the competition ends. Now with synchronized diving, I'm especially interested, because this is as close as it gets to defying gravity.
The celebrity diving show, however, I'm afraid to watch. That's an awfully dangerous sport to give to total newbies. Talk about throwing them in at the deep end! I watched for five minutes one night. One look at that diving tower, and I thought I was watching an auto race.
The American celebrity skating show was a downer for me. The level of skating wasn't high enough for me to enjoy it, and then when Lloyd Eisler enacted a soap opera with his celebrity partner, I was totally put off. The Russian one and the Canadian one are splendid, by contrast. Don't know why the Russian one is so good, because it's celebrities again and not athletes, but maybe they train harder. The Canadian one...some of that skating is first rate. The James Bond number that Gordeyeva does with Valery Bure is electricity itself. She taught Bure some challenging lifts, and she throws herself into them as if she trusts him completely not to drop her. He does a throw jump with her, even! I suspect Gordeyeva made Bure spend a lot of time learning just to skate around, because they move like silk. And of course she conveys the music and the emotion. From Russia with love indeed.
And hooray for the chance to see Greg Louganis! He hasn't gotten any plainer in the last thirty years.

Who says Republicans are conservative? Put 'em in the right setting and they become party animals. During their six days in New Orleans they held more than 500 receptions, brunches and blowouts. Of course, the fact that journalists outnumbered the 4,500 delegates nearly three to one may have contributed to the bibulous atmosphere in the city below sea level. "Is there an election going on?" asked John Chancellor, at the opening night party that featured Dixieland music, Mardi Gras floats, mimes, clowns and dancers. "Welcome to New Orleans, the last temptation of Jimmy Swaggart," offered PBS political humorist Mark Russell. "I love parties like this," said one magazine editor at a very liquid Sunday night shindig. "Everyone is enjoying themselves. And everyone is superbly inaudible."

Martin Mayhew has made a lot of moves during the relatively short time he's been the Detroit Lions' general manager.
While Mayhew has generally received credit regarding his acquisition of linebacker Julian Peterson from the Seattle Seahawks, there hasn't been a lot of talk about what a good deal it was from the standpoint of what the Lions gave up.
Namely, defensive lineman Cory Redding and a fifth-round draft pick. Seattle traded the pick to the Baltimore Ravens, who subsequently drafted Texas Christian middle linebacker Jason Phillips (now on IR).
The Detroit News, Nov. 6: Peterson has been an effective run defender and pass-rush presence for the Lions. In seven games, Peterson has 3.5 sacks, which puts him on pace for eight to10 sacks for the season.
Redding has been a role player in Seattle's defensive-line rotation, with three starts in seven games, 10 tackles and no sacks. That puts Redding on pace to qualify as a disappointment. Since his eight-sack season in 2006, Redding has four sacks in 36 games.

Longtime Potter County Purchasing Agent Dub Ash has told the county's district judges he will retire later this month.
In a letter to county officials, Ash said he plans to retire effective June 30. Ash's letter states that he wants to pursue other interests and take care of some personal matters he has postponed over the years.
"I have appreciated each of you and the confidence shown to me personally over the years and will treasure the memories of 23 years of service to Potter County," the letter states. "I cannot stress enough the pride I have from being able to work for you and with the departments of Potter County."
Assistant County Attorney Dave Kemp, who has worked closely with Ash on county issues and on the Santa Fe Building committee, said Ash will be missed.
"I'm saddened by it. I think he has been a great public servant," Kemp said. "I just think he has been very professional and has really gone the extra mile many times."
Ash, who has served as purchasing agent for about six different commissioners courts, said in an interview that retiring was a difficult decision. For years, Ash has delivered many of the invocations before each session of the Commissioners Court.
Ash, who has worked under the supervision of the county's five district judges, said the judges now must decide who will replace him as purchasing agent. The county's purchasing agent helps prepares bids and bid specifications for commissioners to consider.

The news on the television is pretty grim these days. I've decided not to watch. I have moved my laptop from my desk to the kitchen table where I can watch the colors change while I work.
In most places, yesterday was a gray and drizzly day, but here, we are a bit above the clouds so it became the most amazing show of light and color as the trees have begun to blaze.
There is an odd and interesting phenomenon that veteran foliage-watchers know: that the colors in the trees become more vivid on rainy or foggy days. They shine out from the gloom. Throughout the day, the clouds moved in and out, vestiges of sun, literally from first light to end of day.
The colors seemed to be changing before my eyes. The mountain changes first, I presume because it's colder up there. Then the trees in the foothills. Right now, the oaks are still strongly green but the maples and the ash and the poplars burn reds and yellows.
This morning, or, just now, bluebirds have descended, a surprise. I have not seen them all summer. Six or seven perched on the wire across the road after making several happy loops and one came to rest on the back of the lawn chair that sits right outside the kitchen window. I love their rosy chests. I had a good chat with this bright fellow as he lingered. I take all this as a positive sign.

characters which are from a different character set are returned as 3F (the

and each character is given two bytes as it should be. Why is it doing this

Dr. Richard Binder, Director of the INOVA Fairfax Cancer Center, introduced Dr. Kyle at the November 9th seminar for Washington area physicians and multiple myeloma patients as the author of more than 1,000 articles, studies and editorials on multiple myeloma. "He is not just the Dean, but the Guru of Multiple Myeloma," Binder said.
Dr. Kyle cited the International Myeloma Foundation for its funding of scientific investigators. "They are working hard," he said. "We need much more research. Serendipity often plays a role in scientific discovery as in the case of
penicillin," Dr. Kyle pointed out. "We don't know what is around the corner." He said that both bringing new young investigators into the field as well as senior investigators are important.
The IMF has awarded a total of $875,000 in research grants to scientific investigators. An announcement of new IMF grants to junior research recipients,
second-year continuing grant recipients and senior research recipients will be made in a special awards presentation at the American Society of Hematology conference in New Orleans (see page 8).
Dr. Kyle, who is Chairman of the IMF Scientific Advisory Board, said no specific area of investigation stands out as offering a cure. "We need to understand more about the biology of the disease." Myeloma research and emerging therapeutics presented at the Stockholm conference included HHV8-KSHV virus studies (plus a separate virus workshop at the Karolinska Institute hosted by the IMF), peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, the role of bisphosphonates in reducing bone pain and allaying fractures, and the recently completed Phase II clinical trial of Thalidomide. "The anti-angiogenesis effect is not the only effect of thalidomide," Kyle said. "Other possible effects are not known. We do not know the best way to give it, when to give it, or the optimal dose. Similar compounds now in testing appear more effective."
Therapeutically, autologous transplants with a one or two percent mortality rate now offer patients hope of extending life and stabilizing the disease, but "peripheral blood stem cell transplant studies have not proven that two transplants are better than one," Dr. Kyle said. Asked how long stem cells can be stored for future transplants, he said the precise storage life is not known, but "at least five to eight years -probably ten without
In wide-ranging discussion, Dr. Kyle stressed that a virus is not the direct cause of MM and [it] is not transmitted like other viral or infectious processes. The cause of multiple myeloma is still unknown. A direct genetic involvement in multiple myeloma has not been proven. "The possibility of a genetic cause is much more complex than realized," Dr. Kyle told a questioner. Nor have genetic studies of twins established a connection with multiple myeloma, Dr. Binder pointed out.
Asked to assess the sudden onset of Alzheimer's in a myeloma patient, both physicians said that Alzheimer-like symptoms are not associated with the amyloid plaques of MM. "Multiple myeloma does not manifest itself in the brain," Kyle explained. "Alzheimer's does not happen suddenly, Binder pointed out. "Something else is indicated in this particular patient," he observed, suggesting the need for further investigation.

Another thing that kept me busy the last few days was the unbelievable reconnection with my old school friends. The feeling that came in while talking to each of them was unbelievable nostalgic. Did you ever believe those filmy shots that run in front of the character and thought it was funny? Well let me tell you, it was exactly the same way. The incidents that happened was literally flashing in front of me. It was like I was sitting in a mirrored room and things were happening outside and I was hearing voices inside my brain. This was apart from the actual voice that I was talking to.
Thanks to my friend K, for being the instrument to this whole reunion. I hardly believe most times that I have reached this far and to know that my childhood friends have kids entering into their teens! The last two days have been a roller costar ride, walking with a gaze at the memories that came rampart! With thoughts and events that were supposed to have been forgotten came forth forward. It is not everyday that you are lashed with nostalgic feelings that are so heavy to bear and a need to meet them all to revive your childhood. A childhood of bitter sweet thoughts that will never come back, yet you want to relive all of them all over again.
Well I know I may go on and go, before that let me share the way I grind Urad dal flour. I made this while making Muruku and yes I am planning to make some similar snacks for my little guest when they are here.
Whole Black Gram Lentil / Urad Dal - 2 cups
We get the dried skinned Urad dal that are used for making idlis, Vadas and Murukkus and most frequently used as seasonings.
Making this at home is so convenient for you to make so many dishes.
Pick the lentil. Heat a pan, dry roast the Urad dal with a spatula.
Roast till the Urad dal starts leaving aroma that is really heavenly.
Transfer to a plate and spread it for it to become cool. Then grind it to a fine powder in a mixer.
This flour stays fresh for couple of weeks in room temperature. If stored in freezer, it may last longer though I haven't experimented it. You may store the flour in zip lock covers and store in the freezer.
Do share if you make this flour at home and what dishes you make with it!
I have used Urad dal flour in making Butter Murukkus

The word "indigenous" has become ever present in the way that most people now tend to speak, think, and write about the nations and peoples that were living in this hemisphere when the monarchs of Western Christendom first made their invasive landfalls in the 15th and later centuries.

Kennewick Man fades back into history. For a time this dead Indian had a team of lawyers to sort out the claims that scientists and tribes had on the K-Man.
Dina Gilio-Whitaker's column, "Moving from Sovereignty to Autonomy," is troubling on a number of levels. She advocates that we use the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples to achieve "autonomy" within the context of what she terms the "multinational state." Unfortunately, her article lacks semantic depth and critical analysis, and serves to undermine the foundation of the movement by our Original Nations and Peoples of Great Turtle Island to liberate ourselves from established patterns of domination on the basis of true self-determination.
One problem is Gilio-Whitaker's uncritical usage of the English language. That, along with failure to address the linguistic patterns of domination and subordination endemic to U.S. federal Indian law and policy, and international law, prevent readers from understanding the stakes and the importance of current international debates about the rights of peoples termed "indigenous."
Current international working definitions reveal that "indigenous" in that context means "dominated peoples" and "peoples under dominance." One definition, for example, says that "Indigenous populations are composed of existing descendants of the peoples who inhabited the territory or a country." Then, "persons of a different culture or ethnic origin arrived from other parts of the world," "overcame" the peoples living already there, "and, by conquest, settlement or other means, reduced them [those peoples] to a non-dominant or colonial situation." In other words, the original peoples are considered to have been "reduced" to a predicament of domination. In her article, Gilio-Whitaker fails to make this background explicit.
Another international definition treats the words "indigenous" and "aboriginal" as synonymous. (See UN Centre for Human Rights, "The Rights of Indigenous Peoples," 1990). The term "aboriginal" traces to "aborigine," which, according to Webster's unabridged dictionary, means "an indigenous inhabitant [a single person] of a country: one of the native people as distinguished from an invading or colonizing people." Thus, peoples termed "Indigenous" or "aboriginal" are contrasted with present day dominating or domination-societies, typically called "states," which are descended from the invading and colonizing peoples of Western Christendom.
Gilio-Whitaker's column does not grasp a key point: We have to explicitly focus on the above framework of domination, and specifically use the word "domination," in order to become conscious of the 'state of domination' that has been forced on those nations and peoples the UN now calls "Indigenous." Importantly, Gilio-Whitaker does not mention the history of colonial domination in her article. Her omission is not unique. In the strange unspoken code in the English language and international political discourse, "'domination' is the name that shall not be spoken."
It is within the above noted context of domination that Gilio-Whitaker's use of the term "autonomy" is accurately understood. In the classic Greek sense, autonomy means "the quality of state of being independent, free, and self-directing," which is a powerful meaning for purposes of liberation. However, another meaning is, "the degree of self-determination or political control possessed by a minority group, territorial division, or political unit in its relation to the state or political community of which it forms a part." (emphasis added)
The latter concept of "autonomy" is meaningful "in relation to" and "inside" the context of "the state." It envisions "indigenous" units of "autonomy," or "minority groups of autonomy," considered to form "a part of the state," which is a system of domination. In this sense, then, autonomy is considered to be a form of political assimilation whereby originally free nations and peoples which are now considered to be existing under, and subject to the authority of, some state dominance. They are deemed to have been made a part of, or politically incorporated into the body politic of "the state." This version of "autonomy" is completely consistent with the racist and Christian-premised pronouncements of the US Supreme Court in the areas of "domestic dependency," "and "plenary power. "
Many people outside of California are not aware that in the fourth grade, the curriculum includes studying the California Mission System. Little fourth-graders run to the nearest arts and crafts store (Michael's sells them in particular), to buy a styrofoam mission kit, that the student puts together and presents to the class. The project is designed to teach about California history, quickly and inaccurately, educate about California Native Nations, and the relationship they had with the missions. However, according to Alvin M. Josephy in his book 500 Nations, the history of the California tribes "was as close to genocide as any tribal people had faced, or would face, on the North American continent."
In public schools, history books might skim over the fact that "Indians" were forced into labor. Rarely do they go into further detail as to how the Missions rivaled even the most horrific of concentration camps of fascist Germany. Professor of American Studies, David Stannard, states in his book American Holocaust that Franciscan missions in California were known to be like "furnaces of death." Had the Padres been able to build a gas chamber, who is to say if they wouldn't have gassed Natives that refused to meet building quotas, and those who revolted against the Padres, the Spanish military and the Colonizers?
A Franciscan missionary named Father Junipero Serra led a Spanish army up from Mexico and reached present-day San Diego to build the first mission in 1769. It was Serra who built the first of 21 missions that eventually stretched from the southern tip of the Baja California to Sonoma, just north of San Francisco. Missions, often built near presidios (military outposts), helped the surrounding pueblos to steal and develop pristine land. Slave labor would then in turn exploit and export natural resources.
Spanish soldiers kidnapped Indians by the thousands. They were given Spanish names, dressed in blue uniforms, forced into slavery to build the missions and to work in the surrounding farms or pueblos, in which the church was generously compensated. They also were forced to care for livestock, tanned hides, and produced candles, bricks, tiles, shoes, saddles, soap and other necessities.
Many Native families have kept record of what life was like living in the missions by way of oral history. The missions imprisoned Natives in cramped quarters, with poor ventilation and bad sanitation, which encouraged the spread of disease. Native Peoples were fed "gruel" and not allowed to hunt fish or gather their traditional foods. The People were not allowed to speak their own language, sing, pray or practice ceremonies, nor were they able to keep their families intact. Children were separated from parents and housed in different quarters. It was common for women and children to be raped and kept as sex slaves. In her 2010 essay, "Rape is the Weapon, Story is the Cure," Professor Deborah Miranda (Ohlone Costanoan Esselen Nation), argues "that California Indian women still have not healed from the tragedy of Missionization, colonization, and the violence it inflicted on our bodies."
Professor Joshua Jeffers, a History Ph.D. candidate and instructor at Purdue University, authored an important study of the Doctrine of Christian Discovery, published in the Maryland Historical Magazine (Spring 2013). Jeffers began his scholarly review with a discussion of the 1823 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Johnson v. M'Intosh, which made the Doctrine "the fundamental legal principle on which United States land title was based…with devastating consequences for Native Americans."
After a thorough analysis of the trajectory of the Doctrine of Christian Discovery from its origins in 15th century papal decrees, Jeffers explores the ways in which this once-obscure religious-legal doctrine has emerged into open discussion in our time. He describes the current situation as "increasing ferment over this issue." Readers of Indian Country Today are witnesses to this ferment, as columnists and news articles report the growing movement to focus United Nations attention on Christian Discovery as a colonial and imperial doctrine.
In a provocative conclusion, Jeffers suggests that Native Peoples' 21st century challenge to the doctrine are as significant as the 16th century debates that examined theological and legal underpinnings of Spanish colonialism. He points out that the current reexamination of Johnson v. McIntosh, calling into question its legitimacy as a precedent, also echoes arguments among 17th century British land speculators and 18th and 19th century American legal theorists.
Jeffers's conclusion about the historical significance of the present moment seems amply supported by the facts. As he notes, "in the past two decades more than 750 articles and several books, from scholars as varied as political scientists, legal theorists, and colonial historians, have critically evaluated the Johnson ruling."
Not only has there been an explosion of scholarship and commentary, the critique has broken out of the academic arena and into the regular press and the international political arena.
The 11th session (2012) of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues examined the Doctrine of Christian Discovery as a "special theme." The session involved a panel of international experts, preparation of a conference paper, and statements from indigenous peoples around the globe. The Report of the session recommended that a formal study be undertaken on behalf of the Permanent Forum itself.
The study recommended by the special session was prepared by Mr. Edward John, a member of the Forum, and is now in final editing stage. It will be presented at the 13th session of the Forum, scheduled for 12-23 May 2014. Mr. John investigates not only the "impacts" of the Doctrine of Christian Discovery, but also "mechanisms, processes and instruments of redress."
The Study will indeed reach the level of historical significance suggested by Prof. Jeffers: it portends a worldwide examination of the notion of Christian Discovery, with implications for law, politics, and economics, as well as for the proper place of religion in the activities of government. The question is whether the discussion will focus on "redress" as the verb meaning "put on new clothes," or "redress" as the noun and verb meaning "put back into a stable, upright position."
For starters, it is significant to refer to the doctrine by its full and proper name—Doctrine of Christian Discovery—and not by the common phrase used by most writers, even those who are critical—Doctrine of Discovery. This emphasizes that the doctrine is rooted in religion. It is not a secular rule, but a rule of religious discrimination.
We owe it to Steven Newcomb for laying the scholarly groundwork demonstrating the historical and documentary record of "discovery" as a religious doctrine. It was Newcomb who hammered on "Christian Discovery," at a time when most writers were simply referring to "European Discovery."
The historical record that "European Discovery" is "Christian Discovery" is clear all the way back to the initial colonial intrusion, when Christopher Columbus planted the Spanish flag in the "New World" in 1492.
In the 1493 Bull "Inter Caetera," Pope Alexander VI praised "our beloved son, Christopher Columbus"; and, for the Spanish Crown that financed Columbus, the Pope did "give, grant, and assign to you and your heirs and successors, kings of Castile and Leon, forever, …all rights, jurisdictions, and appurtenances, all islands and mainlands found and to be found, discovered and to be discovered." The only limit to the Pope's grant was if the lands were already "in the actual possession of any Christian king or prince." Columbus' name bears witness to the doctrine: As the Oxford English Dictionary states, "Christopher" means "Christ-bearing."
For nations and peoples typically called "Indigenous," 2014 will be an important year in the international arena. This coming September, the United Nations General Assembly is scheduled to convene a High Level Plenary Meeting (HLPM) regarding the U.N.

Sixty years ago this month, Jack Kerouac penned "On the Road," the book that inspired countless readers to explore the back roads of America. Celebrate this literary milestone by taking to the highway, rolling down the windows and making your own cross-country voyage.
With more than 45,000 miles of road in the US Interstate Highway System, there is no shortage of directions to head in and scenic byways to explore. If you're having trouble choosing, however, there is one road that stands apart from the rest because of the special place it occupies in the collective imagination of America -- Route 66.
Winding from Chicago to Los Angeles, Route 66 became the Main Street of America shortly after its inception in 1926. Although many sections of this historic road have been decommissioned over the years, you can still venture the 2,100 mile route in under three days time -- though I'd recommend stopping to take in the scenery as frequently as possible.
If the countless roadside attractions and beautiful vistas aren't enough motivation, here are some of our favorite stops along the way:
Lou Mitchell's, 565 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago: Legendary diner near the start of Route 66 that's also a short block away from the Travelzoo Chicago office!
The Gateway Arch, St. Louis: Built as a monument to westward expansion, the giant stainless steel structure offers great views from the observation area at the top.
The Route 66 Museum, Clinton, Okla.: Stop in to check out memorabilia from the '50s and '60s and gain a deeper understanding of the history of "The Mother Road."
Devil's Rope Barbed Wire Museum, McLean, Texas: Route 66 offers travelers countless opportunities to pull over and experience roadside attractions that range from bizarre to fascinating (and often both.) One of the most quirky is this museum dedicated entirely to barbed wire in McLean, Texas.
Cadillac Ranch, Amarillo, Texas: A sort of automotive interpretation of Stonehenge, this is one of the more iconic oddities along the way and a great photo opportunity.
Albuquerque, New Mexico: The mix of Art Deco and Pueblo architecture in Albuquerque is worth exploring, and everything from the high desert climate to the fantastic salsa verde will let you know you've reached the American Southwest.
Petrified Forrest National Park, near Holbrook, Ariz.: The surreal landscape and colorful rock outcroppings in this national park make up some of the most breathtaking scenery along the way – and since Route 66 goes directly through the park it's impossible to miss.
Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, Calif.: After descending from the mountains near Flagstaff, Ariz., and rolling into Southern California, there's no more welcome sight than the Pacific Ocean. The Santa Monica Pier offers amusement rides and great views of the coast near Venice Beach. Unless you're driving back the way you came, this is the end of the road for Route 66.

Among the most innovative poets in the United States we find a seat for Gwendolyn Brooks whose uses of form and language as well as her perspicacious evocation of life as she saw it have made her a significant twentieth-century literary figure. In Brooks's poetic corpus readers find an economy of language, apt neologisms, unique turns of phrases, and expansions of genre, all wrought from her sixty eight years as an active poet with numerous awards and honours to match her prolific body of work. Brooks, a post Harlem Renaissance writer, was nonetheless part of the New Negro era, and as a lifetime resident of Chicago, she participated in the energetic intellectual and artistic life of the Depression era Black Chicago Writers' literary …

Associated Press
Yankees manager Joe Girardi accused Boston's Brad Penny of deliberately hitting Alex Rodriguez with a pitch.
Rodriguez was hit in the back in the first inning Thursday night at Fenway Park, prompting umpires to warn both teams. The Red Sox went on to win 4-3 and improved to 8-0 against the Yankees this season.
In the sixth inning on Tuesday night, Yankees reliever Jose Veras hit Boston's Jason Bay with a pitch.
"Penny's control was pretty good, and I thought it was on purpose," Girardi said Friday. "You know, that's all part of baseball, I guess. You know, we hit Bay, and I know Jose did not hit him on purpose. I mean, Jose has struggled with his control. But things like that happen. You know, you expect something could happen in return."
Rodriguez declined comment before the Yankees played the Mets on Friday night.
Boston manager Terry Francona didn't want to address Girardi's accusation.
"I thought Brad Penny pitched very well. That's my comment," Francona said before the Red Sox played the Phillies.
SLOW PLAY COSTS PAP: Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon has been fined by major league baseball for slow play.
Papelbon said Friday that he was taking too long to make his first pitch upon entering the game from the bullpen. Speaking before the Red Sox opened a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies, Papelbon said he had been warned about breaking the rule.
The Daily Item in Lynn, Mass., first reported the fine of $1,000. The paper said that Papelbon was the first player fined this season for breaking the rule designed to speed up games.
The Red Sox have the third-longest average time of game this season, 3 hours, 3 minutes.
SMOLTZ GETS LOSS: Boston Red Sox right-hander John Smoltz made his fifth rehab start in Syracuse Friday night, throwing six innings for Triple-A Pawtucket.
Smoltz allowed four runs and six hits, getting the decision in Pawtucket's 4-1 loss to the Syracuse Chiefs in the first game of a doubleheader. He struck out six and walked one, throwing 56 of his 70 pitches for strikes in what was likely his final rehab outing. Smoltz is continuing his comeback from surgery last June to repair a torn labrum, a round piece of cartilage.

ELBOW PADS PROTECT sensitive areas of the player's elbow. Most elbow pads are adjustable with Velcro straps, allowing the player to secure the pads and achieve a comfortable fit. Be careful not to adjust the elbow pads too loosely because the pads will move during your game and not provide proper protection; on the other hand, tightening the elbow pads too snugly will constrict your mobility, ultimately hindering your game.
Fitting Elbow Pads
Elbow pads protect the arm from the bicep extension of the shoulder pads to the cuff of the gloves, leaving no part of the arm exposed. Players should look for a good range of motion in elbow pads. The elbow should fit comfortably in the center of the cup and should not twist or slide on the arm. Also, look for a pad that provides forearm protection. The end of the elbow pad should meet the cuff of the glove. Elbow pads come in small, medium, and large and are sized based on height.
Size Height
|Upto 4'0″
|4'0″ – 4'10″
|4'10″ – 5'6″
|5'4″ – 6'0″
|5'8″ – 6'4″
|6'0″ +

Don't forget that the league controls the club's official website now. They started that a few years back to (I guess) 'standardize the product' amongst all the team. If you notice, they all use a very similar template.
Did a quick search - the change dates back to 2006. (Why I remember crap like this, I have no idea.)
Newsday (now in the process of being bought by Cablevision): The legal battle over marketing turf dates to 2006, when team owners voted 25-3 to approve transfer of all 30 teams' digital rights to the league, mimicking a "unitized" Internet business model used by the National Football League since 1999 and Major League Baseball since 2001. The Rangers cast one of the "no" votes...At the heart of the conflict is MSG's belief that, as a big-market team, the Rangers should be free to find new revenue streams outside the limits of market-sharing restrictions.
Another point I wanted to mention is the "stay connected 24/7" who the hell wants that ? The PR guys should realize one thing, people are looking at the official homepage to get that stuff of information and don't want to use third party sites/plugin in order to get the information they are looking for. So how about making the Wings homepage better ? Finding videos on the site is tedious (can't even see the day time) and there really is not a ton of news.

When singer Peggy Lee suffered a massive stroke in October 1998, doctors told her daughter Nicki Lee Foster to expect the worst. So she found a burial plot for her mother in Los Angeles and around it planted the special flower her mother treasured—a flower officially named for her, the Peggy Lee rose. "It's a beautiful pink," says Foster, 58, "with a little bit of peach."
The 81-year-old Lee—who defied the odds and hung on until a fatal heart attack Jan. 21—was one of the great flowerings of the golden age of American pop. Whether singing jazz or Broadway standards, Lee was "a master at phrasing and interpreting," says Tony Bennett, who calls her the "female Sinatra." On such classics as the 1958 hit "Fever," Lee, a ripe blonde whose beauty mark gave her a courtesan's allure, didn't just sing: She seduced with a voice that was featherlight and shimmeringly sexual. One songwriter friend, Lee once told the Chicago Tribune, "said I had a voice like a streetwalker...if you ever stopped, you'd never leave." She added, "I think I know what he means—the sensuousness."
An exception to most of the female vocalists of the day, she wrote or cowrote many of her songs (with the likes of Duke Ellington and Quincy Jones) and knew how she wanted them to sound. The original arrangement for "Fever," says Foster, called for an orchestra. "My mother said, 'Throw this out. What I want is bass and drums and finger-snapping—and thats 'Fever.' "
Late in life she even took on Mickey Mouse. She had earned less than $5,000 for writing and singing songs for Disney's 1955 Lady and the Tramp. "When the cartoon was reissued on video in 1987, she sued for royalties and won $3.8 million. "I'm not being a saint, saying 'I don't want the money,' " she said of the landmark case. "I want it."
Her strength could be traced to her hard upbringing in and around Jamestown, N.Dak. Norma Deloris Egstrom, as Lee was born, was only 4 when her mother, Selma, died of toxemia. (Lee later recalled that as a tribute she made up lyrics—"Mom's gone to dreamland on the train"—to an old popular tune.) After her father, Marvin, a railroad worker, remarried, her new stepmother regularly whipped her with a leather strap. "Out of that adversity," says Foster, an artist, "came a woman who could deal with anything."
As young as 14, Lee was singing professionally on a local radio station. Performing in noisy nightclubs after graduating from high school, she developed the vocal technique that made audiences hang on her every note: "I dropped the volume way down and sang with quiet intensity." Hearing her in Chicago in 1941, Benny Goodman hired her for his band and made her a star. In 1943 his guitarist David Barbour made her a bride. She briefly left show business to raise Nicki, who now has three children and as many grandchildren. But Lee and Barbour were incompatible. "She was always busy doing glamorous things," says Bennett, 75, "and he was a cowboy-type guy." He was also an alcoholic. After their 1951 divorce, she told PEOPLE in 1984, "I finally understood what [torch singer] Sophie Tucker used to say: You have to have your heart broken at least once to sing a love song." Although she ran through three more marriages—between 1955 and 1965 she wed and divorced actors Brad Dexter and Dewey Martin and bongo player Jack Del Rio—Lee and Barbour remained friends. When he died of a heart attack in 1965, "I was destroyed," she said.
The career, though, flourished. She even flirted with movie stardom, winning a supporting actress Oscar nomination playing an alcoholic singer in 1955's Pete Kelly's Blues. She cruised through the rock era with a little help from fans like Paul McCartney, who presented her with a song, "Let's Love." An influence on pop stars including k.d. lang and Madonna (who recorded "Fever") as well as jazz artists like Diana Krall, she was performing as late as 1995 despite horrible health. A diabetic, Lee had suffered lung damage from pneumonia in 1961. She underwent double-bypass surgery in 1985. Two years later she broke her pelvis ("I have a bruised coccyx too," she said not long after, "but nobody mentions that"). Still, "she had great faith," says her daughter. "It was not ever, 'Why me?' "
In fact, it always bothered Lee that many listeners thought her 1969 hit "Is That All There Is?" was just a beautiful bummer about the meaninglessness of life. "Because I've been through the death experience, I believe the song is positive," she once told The New York Times. "There is more."

To date, RTRPC has received more than 15 applications for consideration for Rebuild Day 2010 (April 24). The success of RTRPC and the ability to serve the applicants is dependent upon skilled and unskilled volunteers, donors, and sponsors willing to adopt a RTRPC project.
A project involves making a variety of necessary repairs and alterations to the home of a low-income elderly or physically challenged homeowner that is physically or financially able to make the repairs. Sponsoring a project involves financing the repairs and enlisting employees to volunteer their time to work on the project.
The benefits to the sponsoring organization include, but are not limited to:
• An immediate and positive impact on the life of the homeowner and the volunteer.
• A great team building and community leadership opportunity for the employees

Online Hindustani Music Resources
compiled by Matt Rahaim
Tanpura mp3s
Of course there's no substitute for a real, well-tuned tanpura that you can lay your ear against. However, if you are determined to simulate its sound, the following free mp3s can serve as substitutes for those overpriced electronic humboxes with pictures of tanpuras on them. The D sa-pa in particular, courtesy of Sameer Gupta, sounds much better than those infernal machines. The D# sounds pretty nice, too. The kharaj of the D sa-ma wavers a tiny bit. If you can't find the sur you want, a plethora of shorter tanpura recordings are available here. And if anyone has a good recording of a well-tuned tanpura to fill in any of the gaps here, please let me know.
If you have the means, iTabla Pro is a reliable iOS tanpura/tabla simulator.
The pitches listed below are approximate--they are not tuned to standard A440 equal temperament.

Free Hindustani Recordings
Sarangi.info- A collection of vocal and sarangi recordings, downloadable in .wmv format. Among them is a striking recording of Salamat Ali Khansahab and Nazakat Ali Khansahab singing together when they're very young, shredding a basant ektal bandish into magnesium ribbons.
Moutal's Online Recordings -
Huge collection of dowloadable
Indian music sound and video recordings, including vocal and featuring
a variety of instruments. Specializes in remastered old recordings,
including 78s and what appear to be some wax cylinders!
The Vijaya Parrikar Library of Classical Music- A collection of rare (and often low-fi) recordings of Hindustani masters, curated by Rajan Parrikar. Vocal music is well-represented. Down the left side of the page are names of Hindustani musicians. Click on a name and you'll be directed to several short sound recordings. You can access South Indian music recordings by clicking "Carnatic Stacks."

Indian Music Research and News
Sangeet Natak Akademi - Society for music, drama, and dance research in India.
Sangeet Research Academy- I recommend the "Know your Raga" section, arranged by thaat, which includes short audio clips of SRA singers performing the ragas.
Rajan Parrikar's articles on Hindustani Music- Raga is difficult to describe in words, but Rajan Parrikar does better than almost anyone in combining poetry and clarity. Much of this is based on summaries and English translations of two meticulous and authoritative 20th century music theorists: V.N. Bhatkhande and Parrikar's own guru, Ramashreya Jha. Very occasionally, about once per article, the writing here becomes a bit too personal to be very useful to anyone else except the author. But if you can manage to look beyond the occasional giddy, venomous invective, you will find a great deal of value here. These articles are full of helpful orienting generalizations and illustrated by hundreds of recorded examples, many of which have never been released commercially.
And once your filter is well-tuned--once you can distinguish a thoughtful, measured critique from a toxic personal attack as easily as you can distinguish Jaunpuri from Shuddh Rishabh Asavari--you might want to selectively and tentatively peek at the very active newsgroup/snakepit rec.music.indian.classical. Several dozen brave, dedicated, and adabi souls manage to dodge the crossfire and regularly contribute subtle, accurate and insightful postings. I salute them.
ShadjaMadhyam- Hindustani recordings, online lessons, articles, and more.Bandishbase- a growing collection of bandishes organized by raga. Also check out ragabase and talabase, and the rare catalog of Marathi songs.

Hey Betorq! YOU LOOK GOOD!
i'm still in my egg phase. i have loved eggs since I was a little kid -- i could easily sit and eat a dozen hard boiled ones. I just love the darn things. Particularly hard boiled and/or deviled. Goodness knows why!
When I was vegan, it was eggs that I really, really missed. And when I wasn't vegan anymore, i was like "woohoo, eggs!" and -- well -- I still eat at least 3 a day. I still love them. I don't think it's a phase, now.
OMG, I ahd to list on DS's kindy intake/interview form what he eats in a day and when. It was like this:
7 am: berries and raw yogurt with cod liver oil and two brazil nuts; 3 eggs in butter; 1/2 cup steamed veggies in bone broth.
kindy time: fruit, buns or whatever they feed him.
1 pm: beef strips or mince patties with mustard and mayo, cut veggies (usually 1/2 cucumber and 1/2 bell pepper plus cabbage leaves), apple or orange -- nibbles on this all afternoon
5:30 pm: chicken or fish, veggies steamed in bone broth and tossed with olive oil, berries with yogurt and flax seed oil and sunflower and pumpkin seeds (soaked).
you should have seen her eyes pop out of her head. LOL "Wait, he eats this much in one day?" and I said "yes, I haven't calculated, but I think he gets about 2200 cals per day." And she goes, "my god. my goodness." LOL

Thats so funny when you freak people out like that with how much you can eat. That wold be so cool to have been raised Primal and not have to have the body get past all the health problems left over from years of CW misinformation.
I tried vegetarianism for a few months, to see what my daughter finds so appealing about it. I just ended up tired and craving steak! Not for me, I concluded.
PB, can you please educate me some more? I've ordered a blood test kit for ketones, but I wondered when it's best to test? And how soon after eating something that takes me out of ketosis would it show up on the monitor? I'll need to do some experimenting to see what I can safely eat and stay in ketosis. Still feeling good - it's now officially a personal best record for no cravings, no IBS, and weight loss. I need a high five for that lot

Caveat: I've never used a blood keytone monitor, only the ketostix. From what I have read the blood monitors are much more accurate because, as your body becomes more adept at burning keytones, there are fewer being excreted. This causes some people using the ketostix to think it "stopped working".
Also remember that overdoing the protein can knock you out of ketosis very easily no matter how diligently you count your carbs.
i am so glad you are feeling better. High fives indeed!

New to the UK - orenaska - 19-10-2013
Hello all,
I've recently moved to the UK (Leicester) from Australia for university, and until I moved here I was attending a Russian Orthodox Church. I am aware of the differences between Eastern and Oriental Orthodoxy but since I've never really explored the Oriental/Coptic side of the Orthodox path, I thought it would be wonderful to do so. I really miss attending the liturgy, however here in Leicester I haven't been able to find any Orthodox churches (Eastern or otherwise).
Are there any Orthodox believers here in Leicester?
RE: New to the UK - email@example.com - 26-10-2013
hi there. There is a Greek church on Aylestone Road, Leicester LE2 7NW. if this is any help?

Posts: 17
Fished Valley from 11:30am to around 7pm. I started out about 100 yards below the Metal Bridge where I saw some surface activity. I thought I was hallucinating when I first saw trout rising, especially considering it wasn't that warm out yet and the water was so cold. I had to crawl to get into casting range and I basically ended up kneeling for an hour or so to cast to these fish. I saw several Little Black stoneflies in the air and skittering on the water so I tied on a size 18# green stimulator, and got several hits but wasn't able to set the hook. I switched over to a 18# BWO parachute but didn't get any hits so I switched to midges and started getting hits again but still couldn't set the hook. These fish continued to rise until some kids came along and stood over the bank, spooking the entire pool. Ohh well.
Then worked my way upstream of the bridge and caught a 10-11" brown on a 18# green stimulator. The fish was beautiful and fought me for a long time, so much fun. I stayed in this pool for a while and tried to get some of his friends to hit my flies but didn't get any takers.
Overall, I saw a ton of fish and alot of bug activity with midges, BWOs, LBS, and some large orange mayflies (couldn't ID them).
