Veronica Molina, who teaches U.S. history and government at A.C. Jones High School, attended the workshop, which offered teachers the opportunity to work closely with leading scholars, studying major aspects of 19th Century U.S. history, such as slavery, the Civil War and Reconstruction.
The workshop faculty included distinguished scholars from leading universities, such as Michael Les Benedict of Ohio State University, Daina Ramey Berry of the University of Texas at Austin, Daniel Feller of the University of Tennessee and Jennifer L. Weber of the University of Kansas.
During the morning, participants attended dynamic lectures and presentations. In the afternoons, they joined faculty in small workshops to examine primary sources such as historic documents, maps and photographs.
The workshop was held at Region 2 Education Service Center. Special emphasis was placed on newly added or revised standards in the state's U.S. history curriculum.
"Humanities Texas was delighted to include an exceptional teacher from Beeville in this educational endeavor," said Executive Director Michael L. Gillette. "Bringing teachers together to learn from leading scholars and from each other is an effective way to ensure that Texas students continue to receive the best possible educational opportunities."
The workshop was made possible with support from the State of Texas, as well as from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, sponsors programs promoting heritage, culture and education throughout the state.

Judge to rule in Wisconsin wolf hunt challenge
A Madison judge is expected to rule on whether hunters can use dogs to go after wolves.
A group of humane societies filed a lawsuit earlier this year alleging the Department of Natural Resources failed to place any real restrictions on how hunters can train and use dogs to hunt wolves. Dane County Circuit Judge Peter Anderson temporarily banned the use of dogs while he weighs the case. He's expected to issue a final ruling Friday afternoon.
The wolf hunt closed last month after hunters took 117 animals, one more than the state's kill limit. The DNR also is planning to impose restrictions on dogs in permanent wolf hunt rules it's developing. But attorneys for the humane societies fear those rules may not be ready by the next hunt.

- Title
- Consuming the urban environment: a study of the factors that influence resource use in an Australian city
- Author(s)
- Newton, Peter W.; Meyer, Denny
- Abstract
- From an environmental perspective, the 21st century has ushered in a number of critical challenges requiring solution within a narrowing window of opportunity if major social and economic dislocation is to be avoided. First, we live in a carbon-constrained world that is witnessing increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere capable of triggering climate change of a scale that could take centuries to reverse. How we generate and consume energy is central to this issue, and the most recent world energy outlook indicates that fossil fuels will continue to supply 80% of a rapidly increasing demand for energy over the next 20 years. Second, we live in a resource-constrained world where peak oil, water shortages, decline in agricultural land and loss of biodiversity are indications that our harvesting of the Earth's natural resources is now occurring at a rate that is exceeding replacement rate. Our patterns of consumption of housing, travel, water and manufactured products are core to this problem. With the world's forecast population of 9 billion to be 70% urban by 2050, the sustainability challenge will focus more closely on the resource consumption of cities and their populations. In this regard, recent State of the Environment reports on Human Settlements in Australia and internationally are not encouraging, with increasing levels of consumption being recorded across most headline environmental indicators such as energy, travel, housing and water, as well as increased levels of waste generation. The negative effects that this pattern of consumption and related urban development is having on the Australian environment---one of the most fragile on Earth---is also documented in the latest set of State of the Environment reports. They involve inappropriate land conversion, biodiversity loss, soil loss, challenge to safe water yields, pollution halos for urbanised coastal waters and airsheds, increased energy use and rising greenhouse gas emissions+-. Concerns about the environmental impacts of consumption have also been registered in the OECD, with consumption pressures from households expected to intensify significantly by 2030. Studies seeking to understand the determinants of urban resource consumption---the factors that underpin energy and water use, consumption of housing space, urban travel and domestic appliances---are therefore increasingly important in order to identify where the most prospective points for public policy intervention exist. On the supply side, increasing knowledge is being assembled on the ecological signatures of those materials and products that make up our built environment through life-cycle assessments of the manufacturing processes linked to housing, cars, consumer durables and so on and how they can be better designed into our cities by more sustainable approaches to metropolitan land use and transport planning than has been characteristic of much urban development since the Second World War. These transitions will take time, however, to make an impact. Attempts to reduce urban resource consumption more rapidly will require demand side interventions capable of affecting change in individual and household behaviour in the key domains of energy, water, travel and housing. This study is unique to the extent that it aims to assess how much of Australia's urban resource consumption is 'designed into' its cities and housing, and how much is related to the discretionary behaviour of an individual or household. The resulting knowledge will provide an evidence-based platform that is currently lacking for policy and program development by all tiers of government and industry to target areas where resource consumption can be most effectively wound back---by individuals, households, housing design professionals and urban planners.

No. 2: Al Bundy, "Married... With Children"
If you thought Homer Simpson had it rough, meet Al Bundy (Ed O'Neill).
What better way to support a wife and two kids than to cut costs at every turn? Like the time Al refused to pay for a phone call to Canada, resulting in his phone service being cut off.
He gets no respect from his wife, let alone his two kids. His daughter is promiscuous, to say the least, and his son is a pubescent smart-aleck. Al would rather please himself than to try and romance his wife, Peggy, who watches TV all day and spends his money.
Most of the time, Al's biggest downfall is his own dim wit and bad luck. His life is a free-fall from his glory days as a high school star fullback to his current life as a women's shoe salesman.
For all that he puts up with Al Bundy is undoubtedly a top TV dad.

The Bishop Museum has been selected as one of seven museums in the country to play host in 2013 to the Congressional Gold Medal awarded in 2011 to Japanese-American, or Nisei, World War II veterans in recognition of their extraordinary accomplishments.
Hawaii's Senior Senator Daniel K. Inouye along with Blair D. Collis, president and CEO of the Bishop Museum, attended the announcement of the National Tour at a press conference held Thursday in Washington D.C.
The Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service has partnered with the National Museum of American History and the National Veterans Network to share the inspiring story of these men who fought with bravery and valor on the battlefields of Europe and Asia, even while many of their parents and other family members were held in internment camps.
The planned tour will bring the Nisei Congressional Gold Medal to some of the top museums in the country:
- National World War II Museum, New Orleans, La. – Jan. 12-Feb. 17, 2013
- Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii – March 9-April 14, 2013
- Japanese American National Museum, Los Angeles, Calif. – May 4-June 9, 2013
- De Young Museum, San Francisco, Calif. – June 29-Aug. 4, 2013
- Oregon Historical Society, Portland, Ore. – Aug. 24-Sept. 29, 2013
- Chicago History Museum, Chicago, Ill. – Oct. 19-Dec. 8, 2013
- Houston Holocaust Museum, Houston, Texas – Dec. 21, 2013-Jan. 24, 2014
"It is an honor and a privilege to be among the few museums in the nation selected to host the medal," said Blair D. Collis, president and CEO of Bishop Museum. "This is a wonderful opportunity for Hawai'i to recognize and celebrate the valor and legacy of these World War II Japanese-American veterans who changed Hawaii's history and uplifted a generation through their unwavering loyalty and sacrifice."
Upon the conclusion of the tour, the Congressional Gold Medal will be on permanent display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
The medal will be accompanied by an educational package with an iPad application, social learning website and curriculum developed by the National Veterans Network in partnership with the Smithsonian's Asian Pacific American Program. Centered on the character values associated with Japanese American veterans—courage, respect, humility, perseverance, compassion and citizenship—these materials will provide users with a constantly-growing, social learning community.
The Congressional Gold Medal was awarded to the 100th Infantry Battalion, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and the Military Intelligence Service veterans by the United States Congress on November 2, 2011, in recognition of their exceptional service, sacrifice and loyalty to America. The Gold Medal represents Congress's highest expression of national appreciation for distinguished achievements and contributions. Click here for a complete list of recipients.

No, I am not happy that the Yankees won the World Series. No, I am not going to congratulate them. If that makes me a poor sport, so be it. The 2009 World Series has come and gone and I can tell you that I did not watch one minute of it. The thought of watching the Evil Empire was more than I could take. In their lavish new stadium, a tribute to excess, they won the Fall Classic. You had the feeling they clinched the Series when they signed Mark Texeira and C.C. Sabathia. They overcame a slow start and methodically put away the Sox in the regular season, the the Twins, the Angels and Philly. As a kid, good sportsmanship was preached to me along with good hygiene, being polite and drinking my milk. Well, I don't drink milk, I might not always be polite (my brother says I am a real-life Larry David), I do shower and brush my teeth, so I guess I've got that going for me. No way can I congratulate the bane of my existence for the last 40 years. Now that it's over, it's time to move on and think about 2010. Theo Epstein, I am talking to you. Dump Varitek, re-sign Bay, make another run at Hanley Ramirez and find a solid fourth or fifth starter. Kate Hudson, I am talking to you. Ditch A-Rod. It got you a lot of face time on Fox, but really, can't you do better than that. Before this playoff, his track record with women was the only thing worse than his batting average in October. Mariano Rivera, I am talking to you. Retire. Ride off into the sunset. If for no other reason, so you can't continue sticking it in the ear of the Sox any more. You're a freak of nature and I say that with grudging respect. Jorge Posada, I am talking to you. Haven't you made enough money to get those ears pinned back? It looks like someone left the car doors open. Joba Chamberlin, I am talking to you. Don't change a thing. Continue to under-achieve and drive Yankees fans crazy. And make sure you go visit your mom in prison. C.C., I am talking to you. CELEBRATE! Eat anything you want. Drink all you can. Gain another 20 or so pounds so they'll have to roll you out to the mound on opening day. Jeter, I am talking to you. Wipe that look off your face. As irrational as it seems, the very sight of Derek Jeter throws me into a rage. Men I know and respect like Dustin Pedroia sing his praises. Everyone says that he embodies what baseball is all about. How many times have I heard-"You can hate the Yankees, but you can't hate Derek Jeter." Yes, I can. Who is he, not to be hated? Albert Schweitzer? Mother Theresa? It is my inalienable right to dislike Derek Jeter and I will exercise that right until the day I die. (After that, I'll probably still hate him. With my luck, Hell is Yankee Stadium, Satan looks like Steinbrenner and Jeter would live in the fiery cave next door.) I don't know what is worse. The fact that the Red Sox aren't champions, or the Yankees are. I think it's the latter. I could live with the Phillies or St. Louis as king of the hill, but I will not be able to sleep a wink or eat a morsel until the Yankees have been de-throned. (Boy, is it going to be a long year??!!)

Petersen's School-Record 14 Points Fuel Adelphi Rout of Merrimack
from press release
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. -- The Adelphi University
women's lacrosse team played host to Northeast-10 Conference foe
and national vote getter Merrimack College on Wednesday, March 30.
The Panthers blitzed the Warriors, scoring 15 goals in the first
half, on the way to a 25-5 victory. With the win Adelphi remains
unblemished at 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the NE-10, while Merrimack
falls to 6-3 and 3-2 in the conference.
Claire Petersen led the way, breaking the programs single game point and assist records for the second straight outing with 14 points and 10 assists, she also added four goals. Elizabeth Fey set a new career-high with eight goals in the win, while Demmianne Cook chipped six points (3G, 3A) and Marissa Mills had four points on three tallies and one helper.
Defensively Adelphi was paced by Katelynn Ciaci and Tara Gangarossa, with three caused turnovers each. Jacqueline Williams and Mills each caused two turnovers, while Fey won a game-high 10 draw controls. Fey also cleaned up in the ground ball department with a career-high 12, while Mills posted six, Cook had five and Ciaci, Gangarossa and Meg Brown had four each. Frankie Caridi made nine stops in goal for the Panthers, picking up her sixth win of the season.
Adelphi and Merrimack started off slowly, feeling each other out, but Petersen broke the ice at the 27:04 mark, scoring her first of the game off of a Cook assist. The Panthers would out score Merrimack, 5-1 over the next seven minutes, taking a 6-1 lead no a Mills unassisted tally with 20:26 left in the first half.
The Panthers would keep the pressure on, scoring four goals to Merrimack's one in the next 10 minutes and then closing out the half with five more tallies in the final 10 minutes of the frame. Entering the intermission with a 15-2 bulge.
The second half was a repeat of the first as Adelphi put together runs of 2-0, 4-0 and 3-0 in between Warrior goals. The final goal came as time expired, as Brown raced down the field and beat Merrimack goalkeeper, Inna Hedden, who made 13 stops in the loss.
Adelphi out shot Merrimack, 47-22, collected more ground balls, 47-32 and won more draw controls, 19-12 then the Warriors in the win.
The Panthers return to action on Saturday, April 2 when they travel to Rindge, New Hampshire to take on Franklin Pierce.

Hi Tom and the Heartbreakers- I just wanted to send a HUGE thank you for offering this to your fans. I would say that most artists wouldn't have done what you have done and is greatly appreciated by myself and others on this website. I hope that the refunds aren't completely coming out of your pocket because it is the fault of the venue's management and staff. It is unfortunate that this occured and hope that this will be a good lesson for ticketmaster/etc. to take care of its' customers in order to have these incidients from not happening again. If it wasn't for you looking into this further and supporting your fans by making a stand, I don't think much would've been learned from this to ultimatley better us all. I feel guilty taking the offer as we had a unique intimate show that I will always remember and enjoyed nevertheless. I left the concert a little disappointed, but am here today appreciative and greatful that there are good people such as yourself that are more concerned with giving back to your fans in a world where people are money hungry and selfish. That obviously isn't you nor did I ever feel so. I've been a long time fan, growing up on your music and will continue to give back and support you as much, if not more so, than what you have given to all of us. I cannot wait for you to come around again, and want to thank you not only your music, but for all your actions throughout the years and for making a stand for what you believe in. I cannot thank you enough. THANK YOU TPHB!
No shows scheduled. Check again later.

I read in a national geographic arctical (http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2008/03/god-particle/achenbach-text/1) that Theoretical physicist explained the particle as mud and that the other particles (electrons, neutrons, etc.) are like the shoes walking through the mud. But my theory is what if the Higgs particle isn't a bunch of little particles that are forcing against the others, but a gigantic paricle that has all other particles inside and that is why there is resistance. Now when i say gigantic i mean the universe. What if all we are is a speck inside one god particle forcing our way around and that is why nobody has found it. Not because it is too small to see, but too big to see. Yet. But this also brings me to another conclusion, what if it is a God Particle because it created all particles inside it that would mean that we are a part of God and that God is all around us. And faith is it trying to talk to us like we would if we were a microbe as if we learned how. And thats what Angels, Demons, Jesus, and Faith are all about. Just a thought and i ran with it.spiritech0 posted:8/5/2011 2:20:36 PM Okay, I'm gonna run alongside you here, J-man. Theories concerning quantum physics always tread the path of things misunderstood, and hence called "paranormal", am I wrong? But the moment science makes a breakthrough and it eventually becomes a component of modern conveniences, there's no doubt, or hope, or faith because it becomes common knowledge. Like the Internet. That required overcoming obstacles like sending things into outer space, and what a strange trip that was for modern man in the last century, right?The idea that there's a supreme intelligence coordinating the creation of infinite worlds for beings to inhabit and evolve or basically get smarter and have communion with each other no matter the distance is something I cannot be dissuaded from. Quantum physics and theories nothwithstanding.Skeptic47 posted:8/5/2011 4:21:20 PM "The idea that there's a supreme intelligence coordinating the creation of infinite worlds for beings to inhabit and evolve or basically get smarter and have communion with each other no matter the distance is something I cannot be dissuaded from."Closed minded: not ready to receive to new ideaswordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwnspiritech0 posted:8/5/2011 8:47:22 PM Actually, I tried being raging atheist until the gajillionth time I blurted out "Oh my God! God damn it!" in an awful situation (, and my life was saved. My mind was suddenly truly open to the fact that reality is beyond mortal senses, and my life was changed. I'd say that with so many geniuses and so called gods to acknowledge on this planet and/or otherwise, you're the one not accepting new OR old ideas. On that, I found a site more to your intellectual level. There's a book titled "The Believing Brain" by Dr. Michael Shermer that you should read.=http://shop.skeptic.com/merchant.mvc?&Screen=PROD&Store_Code=SS&Product_Code=b144HB=Enjoy!JOSMAN087 posted:8/5/2011 11:36:47 PM I may not have been clear. I was stating that this was just a passing thought. I get a lot of these passing thoughts in great detail but for some reason i can never remember them an hour of few hours later, so i had to get it out. Skeptic47 posted:8/6/2011 1:16:49 AM Regardless of what you say, Spiritech0 - Having a belief that you have decided you CANNOT be dissuaded from makes you closed minded.Again - are you basing your theory on any proof?My guess is no.So what you've done is thought up, or read/heard, a theory and decided it's correct. Or, in other words, you built facts around evidence.Skeptic47 posted:8/6/2011 1:17:44 AM facts around theory*gemini663181 posted:8/6/2011 10:10:58 AM Good for you josman.

February 10, 1998: The Hubble telescope is giving astronomers a ringside seat to a never-before-seen titanic collision of an onrushing stellar shock wave with an eerie glowing gas ring encircling a nearby stellar explosion, called supernova 1987A.
Though the star's self-destruction was first seen nearly 11 years ago on Feb. 23, 1987, astronomers are just now beginning to witness its tidal wave of energy reaching the "shoreline" of the immense light-year-wide ring. Shocked by the 40-million-mile-per-hour sledgehammer blow, a 100-billion-mile-wide knot of gas in a piece of the ring has already begun to "light up," as its temperature surges from a few thousand degrees to a million degrees Fahrenheit. For comparison, the Hubble image on the left was taken before the collision. The picture on the right shows a glowing ball of gas [denoted by arrow].See the rest:

Misguided move by commission
Wood County commissioners voted 2-1 Thursday to cut their work year by 24-30 days, depending upon where Monday holidays fall within a month.
The commission, under the misguided leadership of Wayne Dunn and Steve Gainer, took the action contending it would make the commission and county government more efficient, in essence Dunn said by having fewer meetings to "waste" their time, the public's time and county officeholders' time.
Of course, it also means the public will have two fewer mornings a month in which to address their county commissioners in a formal meeting setting.
Under the written proposal presented by Dunn and quickly supported by Gainer, the commission would continue to meet Monday mornings and on the first and third Thursday of the month. One of the Thursday meetings would be for "planning" and "any agenda items" and the other would be for scheduled "probate" hearings.
Under the revamped schedule, the commission would not meet on Mondays that fall on a holiday, which has been standard practice, but would meet on that Thursday if the holiday falls prior to the first or third Thursday of the month.
The commission has every legal right to set its meeting schedule, but the public has every right to expect the commission to be accessible and cutting two mornings a month from that accessibility is potentially counterproductive for the public.
When the two commissioners ran for office they knew the traditional meeting schedule, they knew the nearly $40,000-year-old salary for the job and they should have known they were elected to serve the public. Now, Dunn and Gainer want to work less, be paid the same and not be as accessible as the commission to the public.
If Dunn and Gainer don't want to serve the public, they should admit that and move on. But changing the schedule is not the way for them to give themselves more time to do their personal business.
Blair Couch voted against the change and lobbied for the traditional meetings schedule to continue, even locating an 1817 county journal indicating the commission had been meeting twice a week since that time.
Couch was right to vote against the change. It's just sad his fellow commissioners already had made up their closed minds.
Congress fumbled along for months before a last-ditch measure finally managed to keep Americans from falling into financial recession. But, sadly, Congress only partially addressed the budget and financial issues before it.
Yes, the Senate finally took a leadership roll, hammering out a bipartisan compromise bill that kept taxes from rising for all but the wealthier Americans. And, voting nearly along party lines, the House finally accepted the compromise with Republicans dragging their feet.
Spending cuts, which is the other half of the issue, was postponed for two months, as if that spending cuts battle will not be another last-minute cliffhanger and continue the hostility and political gamesmanship that has been going on in Congress for far too long.
There is little doubt the federal government needs to cut its spending, but the issue is where to make those cuts without seriously affecting the American populous.
Republicans continue to want severe cuts in Medicare and Medicaid, along with changes in Social Security-all of which would adversely affect a large percentage of our aging population that has paid into these programs for decades.
Defense Department programs and equipment not sought or supported by the Pentagon also have been proposed for cuts, but Republicans have opposed those, making one wonder if that opposition is little more than for the financial benefit of defense contractors in home districts.
Maybe both parties need to cease trying to take a machete to the budget and start using a scalpel instead. Maybe it's time to permit the long-sought line-item veto to be approved by Congress and used to eliminate some of those pet projects in the budget tacked on by congressmen to aid their district's voters.
It certainly is long past time for Congress to cease its petty politics and begin working for the nation instead of posturing for their political party's next election cycle.
The American people have every right to be disgusted and ashamed of the manner in which Congress conducts the public's business. Unfortunately, though, we have seen this petty bickering go on for so long that Americans seem to expect it … and that may be the saddest part of the national view of Washington politics.
Americans deserve better and Congress needs to do better!

G-E-T students collect shoes for those less fortunate
A local high school is doing its part to make sure everyone in the world has a pair of shoes to wear.
For the second year, G-E-T's Family, Consumer, and Community Leaders of America is running a shoe drive. It's part of a statewide competition.
All of the shoes will be given to the organization "Soles for Souls" and then given to people in need across the globe.
Last year, the club collected 400 pairs of shoes, tied for the most in the state.
This year they already have 100, and are hoping to double last year's total. "Who doesn't need shoes? Everybody wears shoes and everybody needs them, whether you're in a place with warm weather or in Wisconsin where it's cold, everybody needs to cover their feet," said G-E-T's FCCLA's president Rebecca Teague.
If you have a pair of shoes you'd like to donate, you can drop them off at G-E-T high school. They'll be collecting them until mid-April.

My LO had problems with gagging, vomitting, and gassiness. One of my friends suggested I eliminate dairy from my diet, so I tried it and saw a great improvement. All of her symptoms, even things I hadn't connected with it, have gotten much better. Of course she took a bottle like a champ in the hospital, but as the gagging and vomitting got worse it became much more of a hassle to give her one so I stopped trying. Her new doctor sent me to an occupational therapist to evaluate her latch, and apparently it's uncoordinated now. She doesn't pull the nipple into her mouth far enough (probably because if she did she would gag!), and so she only eats for a short time to keep herself full. The OT advised me to try and stretch out her feedings so she would be a little more hungry, my breasts would be more full, and it would be easier for her to eat more at one sitting. She wants to avoid my LO constantly eating to get enough in little bursts as she gets bigger and needs more food. I am on my third day of stretching out her feedings and it seems to be helping. LO starts out in a bassinette, but after about 4 hours she comes in bed with me and ends up permanently latched for the rest of the night. I have also made a concious effort to detach her during the night. I am waking up very full in the mornings again, so I guess this is working.
Has anyone else been through this?

Every Caribbean island has its own Carnival celebration. My parents are from Barbados, so I am very familiar with the festive parades, bright costumes, and cheering crowds. Every island also adds its own personal flare to carnival. Barbados Carnival, or Cropover, incorporates steel drums. Trinidad has an extra day known as Jouvet where you cover yourself in chocolate and parade through the street until morning. Despite the unique flavor each island mixes into its Carnival celebration, the HaitiKanaval stands apart, as a triumph of the island's rich history and bold personality.
The most festive portion of Haiti's Kanaval is said to take place in the southern coastal city of Jacmel. The festivities are distinctly divided into two portions, as different as day and night, and, appropriately, takes place during those respective times.
During the day, the main street fills itself with paper mache costumes, colorful figures, and even young men painted in solid black brandishing ropes as whips. Each figure has its importance in Haitian history, voodoo culture, and even current events. At one moment you might see bright red and black uniforms, their owners adorned with large red lips and fangs. These are the Chaloska, who parade in terrifying remembrance of the 1915 massacre of political prisoners, carried out by then chief of police, Charles Oscar Otienne. While you're marveling at that, you might be caught in a surge of Lance Kod, the aforementioned oiled figures with ropes. These are slaves, or rather the costumed vestiges thereof. There are dozens of other historical nods throughout the parade.
The parade also embraces events of current concern, most notably cholera. One particular group consisted of a sick patient on a stretcher, face painted white and constantly throwing up (water). The attendants continuously shouted at the crowd in a call and response manner, demanding to know what was wrong with the patient and how to fix it. All the while, a giant red and yellow paper mache monster (cholera) danced around the scene. You couldn't have paid for a better performance at the Kennedy Center.
And then it all drastically changes. Night falls, the colorful costumes and inventive characters disappear into the darkness and are replaced by big-rig trucks equipped with massive speakers on either side, slowly making their way down the main road. Surrounding these trucks are hundreds -- hundreds -- of Haitians dancing in celebration. Dancing is a word I use loosely in this case; looking outside-in, it's a game of shoving, anger, and constant near-brawls. But, after a while, one notices a pattern, an organized chaos. The shoving is part of an intricate caterpillar-like dance among young men, who form single-file lines, the ones in the rear pushing the ones in the front. It's the job of the one in the front to prevent the whole line from being jolted uncontrollably forward and steady the movement of the entire line.
The dance itself becomes an amazing visualization for Haiti's ability to hold itself steady through each step of its historic development, despite social, economic, and political convulsions. Similar to the carefully crafted costumes presented during the day, the seemingly violent dance at night is a well orchestrated demonstration of Haiti's determination to remain in control, move forward, and not fall off course.
Our most effective moments in diplomacy have been when we recognize this dance, this voice of the people, and encourage it. The U.S. government respected this dance when Haitians protested the results from a flawed presidential electoral process. We encouraged the Haitian government to recognize that its people would not be jostled. The government finally responded by calling the results into question and for an investigation, an outcome to which Haitians cheered. Our determination to respect the will, the very unique "dance,' of the Haitian people is what directly determines our ability to engage, respond, and act.
Those standing still amidst the chaos are trampled. So you dance. When you dance, the crowd finds a way to move with you, around you, for you. Night Kanaval is not a spectator sport. Indeed, there are spectator stands from where one can enjoy the street from a fantastic vantage point, but it's the difference between playing Nintendo Wii sports and actually playing; one is fun, but pretending, the other is difficult, but rewarding.
From a larger perspective, Haiti is the same way. To properly engage with Haiti, you have to be on the streets and have to understand and respect its people. And, it doesn't hurt to dance.

Very insightful piece, I learned something new.
B.G. in Pennsylvania writes:
Great article! Sense I have never been to an actual Carnival or Kanaval festival, this article allowed me to escape my mundane American life and embody the celebratory spirit of the Haitian people.
Your description of dancing (Haitian style) as a metaphor for the social, political, and economic issues was spot on.
See you there next year!
Ochuko in New York writes:
Both informative and insightful comments about a people for whom optimism to always be in hand.
Warren in New York writes:
This is a great article about one of the most joyful times of the year for Haitians if not all Caribbeans. I particularly enjoyed the back and forth jostle of the dance as a metaphor for the seemingly tough course Haiti is following. Applied around the globe, the voice of a people, as chaotic as it may sound, still yields the best movement forward.
Chika in Illinois writes:
Interesting piece. As one who has not yet been to any Caribbean island, I'm glad it does give me more perspective on pieces of the culture. Looking forward to visiting soon.
Charles J. in Washington, DC writes:
This was extremely informative and culturaly relevent.
Monte in Eritrea writes:
It is rare that a piece of writing can provide not merely context for an unfamiliar, faraway place, but indeed a palpable sense of how it feels to walk the streets of a place one has never visited.
This essay provided just such a sense for me.
Well done, Mr. Husbands.
Susan in California writes:
So decriptive...I have always been fascinated by Carnival celebrations. They are so unique to each geographic location, yet connected by threads that go back so far..
Reginald in New York writes:
Vivid, and Rich
Dan in Luxembourg writes:
Like so many of his other writings depicting his time in Haiti, Mr. Husbands brings the country's vibe -- its colors, smells, and sounds -- to the reader. But behind those sensory descriptions is something more appealing.
By constantly focusing on "Haiti's determination,†he implies that Haiti's future success is more than just a hope or dream. It is a dance being played out daily.
Zulfiqaar in Virginia writes:
Informative and fantastic.
Shelley in California writes:
Informative. Thanks - I learned something new today!
Chris D. in Washington, DC writes:
Nicely done sir! The imagery was quite compelling. Thank you for humanizing the situation on the ground. So often times the descriptions instill a sense of fear; your perspective helped to bring forth the life/light!
