Learning to Teach Students How to Learn
Julianne Malveaux | 5/2/2013, 9:44 p.m.
For a great deal of students the issue is not "acting White," but being connected to educational options and outcomes. One of the more important factors in student achievement is parental involvement, yet many parents find themselves "too busy" or too uninformed to interact with teachers. One study says that parents don't necessarily have to help with homework, but simply to reinforce that homework should be done, and to be inquisitive about it. Unfortunately, many parents, frustrated with the school system, write it off. Further, too many of our community organizations don't sufficiently emphasize education, or if they do, don't get into the "down and dirty" of it, preferring to raise much-needed scholarship funds than to take a young person by the hand and guide them through next steps to education.
The majority of African American students are still first-generation college students. They aren't always sure what next steps are, and they often need help maneuvering through a system with which their parents have no familiarity. Too many smart students don't have the parental and societal support, they need to achieve. The United States falls way behind the rest of the world when we don't value students who have the potential to be high achievers, regardless of race or ethnicity. We further disservice ourselves as a nation when we fail to value those who have the intelligences to change our world.

A Daley Sees Disaster Looming For the Democrats
As an Illinois Republican I have little love for the Daley clan of Chicago. However, I have always respected their political acumen. William Daley, Commerce Secretary under Bill Clinton and Al Gore's campaign chairman in 2000, where he was much too effective for my comfort in what should have been a big Republican year, and brother of Richie the Lesser, current Mayor for Life of the Windy City, has an interesting column today in the Washington Post:
But now they face a grim political fate. On the one hand, centrist Democrats are being vilified by left-wing bloggers, pundits and partisan news outlets for not being sufficiently liberal, "true" Democrats. On the other, Republicans are pounding them for their association with a party that seems to be advancing an agenda far to the left of most voters.
The political dangers of this situation could not be clearer.
Witness the losses in New Jersey and Virginia in this year's off-year elections. In those gubernatorial contests, the margin of victory was provided to Republicans by independents — many of whom had voted for Obama. Just one year later, they had crossed back to the Republicans by 2-to-1 margins.
Witness the drumbeat of ominous poll results. Obama's approval rating has fallen below 49 percent overall and is even lower — 41 percent — among independents. On the question of which party is best suited to manage the economy, there has been a 30-point swing toward Republicans since November 2008, according to Ipsos. Gallup's generic congressional ballot shows Republicans leading Democrats. There is not a hint of silver lining in these numbers. They are the quantitative expression of the swing bloc of American politics slipping away.
And, of course, witness the loss of Rep. Griffith and his fellow moderate Democrats who will retire. They are perhaps the truest canaries in the coal mine.
Despite this raft of bad news, Democrats are not doomed to return to the wilderness. The question is whether the party is prepared to listen carefully to what the American public is saying. Voters are not re-embracing conservative ideology, nor are they falling back in love with the Republican brand. If anything, the Democrats' salvation may lie in the fact that Republicans seem even more hell-bent on allowing their radical wing to drag the party away from the center.
All that is required for the Democratic Party to recover its political footing is to acknowledge that the agenda of the party's most liberal supporters has not won the support of a majority of Americans — and, based on that recognition, to steer a more moderate course on the key issues of the day, from health care to the economy to the environment to Afghanistan. (end of column)
The Daleys are obviously sniffing the political winds and scenting a political debacle on an epic scale. This column is the beginning of an attempt by the Daleys to distance themselves from the coming route, and also spells out their recipe for how the party can come back . Chicago is closely associated with Obama; consider this the Daley beginning of divorce proceedings. If I were a political flack in the Obama White House, I would consider this to be a particularly ominous sign for what awaits politically in 2010.
9 Responses to A Daley Sees Disaster Looming For the Democrats
No matter what, I will still always and everywhere and at anytime vote AGAINST the Democrats. Ever since the Democrat Congress cut funding off for the South Vietnamese government, thereby causing us to lose the Vietnam War, they have proven themselves to be the party of treason and death. Now today because of their actions, not only is the Catholic Church persecuted in communist Vietnam, but we have wholesale infanticide of the unborn here in the US.
The best Democrat is the defeated, muzzled and emasculated Democrat. Period.
I raise a toast to you.
I raise a toast as well.
We need to remember the Democratic Party started the War of Northern Aggression, Jim Crow Laws, and actively supported the KKK.
They are a party of racists and still they have a KKK Grand Dragon as Senator from West Virginia.
They are aptly called the Party of Death by Archbishop Burke.
Let's not get carried away. A lot of good men and women have been Democrats over the years. I hope for a day when the Democrat party will once again be led by statesmen like Harry Truman, who, while a fierce partisan, was also a patriot first and a Democrat second, and that on abortion the Democrat party will eventually celebrate the memory of Bob Casey, Senior, a liberal who was also an ardent defender of the unborn.
Couldn't help myself. What I wrote is true, but you are correct that there are many, many, good people within the Democratic Party.
I hope for the same as you do, that they return more to the principles that are more in alignment with God's plan.
Frankly I'll believe it when I see it. In the meantime, Catholic Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, Patrick Leahy, Dennis Kucinich, John Kerry, et al., are the ones in charge of the party, not the good ones to whom you refer, and until the Bishops publicly deny them reception of Holy Communion, there is NO hope for the Democrat Party. This in large measure is the fault of the Bishops for getting the public so confused between the false gospel of social justice and peace at any price and the True Gospel of Life.
Harry Truman dropped not one, but two atomic bombs on the Japanese people, thus giving these United States the distinction of being the only nation to ever use nuclear weapons against their fellow human beings. Whatever virtuous policies he may have had before and after are rendered fairly irrelevant to my mind thanks to that decision.
If actions like that make a man a "statesman" worthy of praise and admiration, then I admit to not knowing the definition.
The GOP may indeed have some sort of comeback in 2010. However, it will be a hollow one that only results in helping Obama secure a second term in 2012 ala Clinton in 1996.
Armchair quarterbacking…
My grandfather fought in Europe and was bound for the Pacific when the bombs fell. Given the absolute fanatical resistance that the Japanese had already shown, the government's predictions on the cost of defeating Japan through conventional means seem quite credible.
My grandmother once remarked that those who chastised America for dropping the bombs fail to understand the dangers of fascism.
I think that, had my grandfather come home from Korea, he would have agreed and I think you should do some research before you make such a bold statement. It could be that Truman did, as he believed he did, saved millions of military and civilian lives by that decision.
Gentlemen, my views on the bombings are that, although the human carnage was horrific, they were justified under the circumstances. However, we are not going to have an a-bomb debate on Christmas eve, and therefore I am closing the comments on this thread.

Reciters and ListenersThursday, June 1st, 2006
Nelson, Kristina. "Reciter and Listener: Some Factors Shaping the Mujawwad Style of Qur'anic Reciting." In Ethnomusicology 26, 1, 1982, pages 41-47.
Athough most Muslims perceive recitation of the Qur'an as a unique art, separate from music (in spite of a shared melodic system, maqam/maqamat, shared techniques, aesthetic expectations and economics), the nature of the response elicited by recitation tends to compromise that uniqueness. Two facts give this issue its importance: the suspicion with which some Muslims have traditionally regarded music in any context, and belief in the uniqueness and divine origin of the text, which precludes a musical treatment of the sort to which any other text might be subjected.
Attempts have been made to regulate both the behavior of reciter and listener and the sound of Qur'anic recitation itself in an effort to keep the recitation separate from music, whether sacred or secular. The main thrust of this regulation is on maintaining the primacy of the text. Its divine nature must be compromised neither by the subverting of the performance so that listeners are moved by virtuosic musicality rather than by the significance of the text, nor by the recognized change that music can effect on a text.
In the Arabic song the meter of the text, the melodic system, and the underlying rhythmic pattern (iqa') all interact. To adapt the Qur'anic text to the built-in rhythmic patterns of a fixed tune would be to deny not only the supremacy of the text, but to deny its very nature and identity, which is characterized by fixed durations. Thus, the imposition of the iqa' or of a given melody on the Qur'anic text is forbidden, but the use of spontaneous melody, inspired by the text and the moment, is not. The acceptance of melodic recitation of the Qur'an by mainstream religious authorities and scholars is based on the recognition of the power of music to heighten the listener's emotional participation in the recitation, as well as to contribute to his understanding of the text, thus involving the listener more completely in the experience.
Against this background, I propose to discuss some aspects of the interaction between the reciter and his public, and the role of actual perception and response in shaping the elaborately melodic style of Egyptian Qur'anic recitation known as Qur'an Mujawwad. Specifically, these aspects are: (1) perception of reciter as artist; (2) audience response; (3) reciter's response to audience; (4) effect on audience expectations of the media's treatment of reciters.
The Egyptian style of Qur'anic recitation is well known all over the Islamic world; indeed, for many it epitomizes Qur'anic recitation. The style is so well established that most professional reciters in Egypt consider some form of musical training essential to an effective recitation.
The perception of Qur'anic recitation as a unique art is widespread, but is often explained in terms of the art of music. For example, reciters proudly perceive themselves as reciters first, but musical artists second, regardless of the varying degree of musicality in their styles. The art of Qur'anic recitation is often favorably compared to that of singing, not only by the reciters themselves, but by many musicians. Part of the basis of this perceived superiority is the divine nature of the text, but reciters and musicians explain it in more specific terms as well. For example, the reciter's skill is seen as greater than the singer's because he must perform within the stricter limitations imposed by the text. The reciter is bound to a comprehensive set of rules governing the oral rendition of the Qur'an. I have heard Egyptian musicians marvel that a reciter could produce such effective music given the restrictions he must observe with regard to each syllable in terms of timbre, duration and pronunciation, as well as structuring of the text. For example, whereas the singer is relatively free to draw a breath regardless of the sequence of the text, the reciter must observe complex rules as to where he may interrupt the sequence of the Qur'anic text, and whether he may continue in sequence or must return to a previous point in the text. In other words, the challenge to the artistic talent of the reciter is considered greater because of the greater limitations placed on his choices as a performer.
Moreover, in spite of the limitations, the reciter is considered more creative and innovative. As one reciter expressed, "Everything the reciter utters [melodically] comes from his head, unlike the singer who has the help of composer, chorus and instruments." Ideally, the recitation is new every time with no imitation or memorization. As Shaykh Ibrahim ish-Sha'sha'i expressed it, if a reciter recites the same verse the same way every time, "some would call that melody-making (talhin), and that is forbidden. You must not even use the same maqam for every mention of Hell." The art of melodic improvisation, once the mark of a perormer's talent, is no longer so prominent a feature of Egyptian art music, but it remains an essential element of the Qur'an Mujawwad style of recitation.
Artistic sensibility and musical talent are only part of what is required of the reciter, for unlike the singer, he carries a great responsibility for the effect of his rendition. The intent of recitation is to involve the listener totally in the meaning and significance of the Revelation, an intent which goes beyond entertaining, or stirring the emotions. The following anecdote told me by one of Egypts' most popular and well-regarded reciters, the late Shaykh Mustafa Isma'il, illustrates the difficulties in defining the professional identity of the Qur'anic reciter when only the sound of the recitation is considered. Shaykh Mustafa and 'Abd il-Wahhab a prominent Egyptian musician-composer, happened to be staying in the same hotel in Beirut. They got together and were talking, and, at one point, 'Abd il-Wahhab handed the 'ud to Shaykh Mustafa. Reciting the first line of a poem, he said, "Sing." "I don't sing," said Shaykh Mustafa. "Go on, sing," said Abd il-Wahhab. "I don't know how to sing. I only recite Qur'an," said Shaykh Mustafa. Abd il-Wahhab took back the 'ud. Later he asked, "How can you do the things you do [in reciting], and not be aware of what it is?" "I believe in God," replied Shaykh Mustafa. This story was told to me to point out the homage paid to the reciter's skill as artist, something of which Shaykh Mustafa was justly proud.
A common feature of Egyptian Qur'anic recitation and the improvisatory Arabic art music tradition is that melodic phrases are followed by a pause. In these pauses the listeners respond vocally to what they have just heard. How much vocal response (tajawub) is considered part of the performance may be judged by its inclusion in many commercial recordings and by the fact that such recordings are preferred by the public to the studio recordings. H. H. Touma, discussing this vocal response, menions that "at a concert of secular music an Arab audience will release the tension during these short phrases by uttering words of praise or loud shouts, while at a religious ceremony it is the name of Allah or of the Prophet Muhammad that is called out" (Touma 1976: 35). In Egypt, however, I found this distinction often lacking: in addition to the sighs, shouts and such standard phrases as "Allah," "Allah yiftah 'alek" (May God reward you!), "Salli 'an Nabi" (Bless the Prophet!), and "Ahsant" (Well done!), I heard, "Ya bulbul in-Nil" (Oh nightingale of the Nile!), "Khudna ma'ak" (Take us with you!), "Mish kida" (Too much!), and the admiring, but untranslatable, "Ya fitiwwa, ya fatwana." Listeners would also shout out their requests, and these were particularly revealing of their expectations: "Again, so we can memorize it!" "How about the higher register?" (ig-gawab), "Give us (maqam) Shuri!" "(maqam) Saba! By the Prophet, we're waiting for Saba!" Where there were musical references to other reciters, knowledgeable listeners would shout out the name of the reciter quoted in delighted recognition, with such comments as, "He's taken us back thirty years!"
Although a subdued and respectful response on the part of the listeners is the norm, and reciters are criticized for provoking an uncontrolled response, the vocal and boisterous response to a reciter's personal artistry is common enough to account for one of the main objections to melodic recitation of the Qur'an: it elicits a response inappropriate to the nature of the text. A commonly voiced criticism is that listeners are stimulated by the melody over and above their stimulation by the meaning of the text. A prominent reciter, the late Shaykh Mahmud Khalil il-Husari, told me that reciting with melodies is permissible, "except for the singing [i.e., when it becomes like singing] and abuse of it which results in listeners following the melody and not the meaning."
Still, many reciters consider at least a minimum of vocal response essential to their reciting, citing three primary reasons. First, vocal response is encouraging and inspires the reciter's skill.
The studio context makes you feel constrained, but people encourage, and there is tagawab (=tajawab), and things come out better than you imagined they could.
The more people there are, the more enthusiasm I have, and all this encourages me, and gives me the right spirit.
In studio recordings the mutual harmony with listeners is missing. In order to make a recording of a quality acceptable to the Radio, I imagine that I am in front of a crowd.
This last comment comes from a reciter whose reputation is limited because his studio recordings, which have the wider audience, are admittedly less inspired than his live performances. There is a consensus among listeners in general that studio recordings tend to be inferior to live performances: listeners would agree with the reciter who said that live performances are "where the great art happens." Second, the reciter can learn or sharpen musical skills by paying heed to listeners' comments, that is, by correlating the comments with specific phrases. Shaykh Mustafa Isma'il described his own training in these terms:
Among the listeners were a number of musicians and artists. They remark, "Oh he's doing (maqam) Bayati." "How did you do this Saba?" That's how I learned. I listened to their comments. I used to recite every night, and they were always there.
Third, reciters also depend on their audience to guide them to the most effective and meaningful recitation. That there is a thin line between making the recitation meaningful to listeners and wooing them with one's skill is demonstrated by the following comments:
The response of the listeners is also important because the reciter can bring them back if their attention wanders.
The alert reciter is aware of the listeners…is able to know their response to everything, and if they don't like something, he can change. Even the blind reciter can tell from the crowd. The audience doesn't have to be hystencal; the reciter can sense the mood and encouragement of a calmer audience.
I like to interact with the crowd, and to do that you have to do what they want.
I can recite for an hour or two and you won't get bored. I change the melody as I see response. If I see you like (maqam) Saba, I'll give you a lot of it.
The late Shaykh Muhammad Rif'at (d. 1950) epitomizes the ideal of the Qur'an reciter for Muslims all over the Islamic world in terms of piety, appropriate intent, use of musicality in recitation, and effectiveness of recitation. Mr Husen Rif'at, his son, told me that Shaykh Rif'at felt that everyone has a maqam to which they are particularly responsive, so he tried to vary the maqamat in reciting in order to touch a wider group of listeners (personal communication).
That there is some correlation between a reciter's attitude to vocal response and the style of his recitation is indicated by the fact that, of the most popular reciters in Egypt today, the late Shaykh Mustafa Isma'il, often criticized for the rowdiness of his listeners, is considered the most musical. Others, such as Shaykh 'Abd il-Basit 'Abd is-Samad and Shaykh Muhammad it-Tablawi, often criticized for pandering to the tastes of their listeners or for showing off, exhibit a high degree of virtuosity in their reciting (primarily in terms of breath control and use of the high register). On the other hand, the late Shaykh Mahmud Khali1 il-Husari whose reputation rests on his erudition and on the correctness of his recitation, and who, moreover, denies any influence of the crowd on his reciting, is generally judged by respectful, but subdued listeners as "lacking in art." The reciter who is responsive to his listeners, who acknowledges their role in his training, and who depends on their encouragement for inspiration tends to recite in a more musically virtuosic style. Moreover, the mutuality of listener and reciter response tends to reinforce the musicality of the recitation, and the reciter, in fulfilling the musical expectations of his listeners, also defines them.
The musical expectations of the listeners are further reinforced by the policies of the National Radio and Television Union. In hiring and supervising professional reciters and their work, the supervisory committee (Lajnat al-Qurra) follows a recognized standard of recitation that sanctions musicality. It is common for a reciter who is building a reputation and is encouraged to audition for the Radio to make an effort to master the principles of the maqamat before applying for audition, for he knows that musical skill is required of the Radio reciter. A Radio reciter automatically commands prestige and higher fees: the term, iza'i (one who broadcasts) after his name signals a certain standard of competence. Therefore, since a certain level of musical skill is required of the broad reciter, the Radio policy functions to shape the tastes of the listeners by giving the more competently musical recitation high status.
Expectations are further shaped by the media's giving some reciters a superstar treatment with interviews, magazine spreads, and guest appearances on talk shows, thus contributing to the whole syndrome of the personality cult with its fierce loyalties, fan clubs, and so on. Such publicity has further helped to blur the line between reciter and singer in terms of the reciter's professional identity and the listeners' expectations.
In conclusion, it is intent, expectation, perception and response on the part of those involved in Qur'anic recitation that are crucial in maintaining the ideal separation between the art of music and the art of reciting the Qur'an and in shaping the actual sound of recitation. The intent of the reciter, the expectations of the listener, their mutual responses, and the role of the media all interact to establish and, in the case of the media, to sanction the more musical recitation as ideal. Although the musicality of a recitation need not compromise its separateness from the art of music — indeed, it is generally recognized and accepted that musicality in Qur'anic recitation is important in drawing the listener more deeply into an act of religious devotion — still, there may be some resistance to the forces which encourage musicality in recitation, for it is also recognized that this very musicality may undermine the proper intent of recitation by transforming the act of devotion into mere musical entertainment. It is the personal attitude of the reciter towards these shaping forces which may determine the extent of musicality in his personal style.

In the midst of the NFL playoffs, most people don't pay much attention to the NBA this time of year. It's easy to see why with the 82 game schedule and lack of national exposure. However, for me, this is the most attention I've ever paid to the NBA, probably because this is the first year I've had the NBA League Pass.
From being able to watch every team (except Memphis, which gets blacked out here even though I don't get most of their games), I have been able to make certain observations about teams I either never noticed or never had the chance to notice before. So, starting in the East, here's a small breakdown of every team at the half-way point in the season.

Turkey Threatens to Deport Armenians In Dispute About Genocide
This is wrong on two levels. First, the estimated number of illegal immigrant Armenians in Turkey is about 12,000 and not 100,000. Second, deporting illegal, and possibly ethic Armenians who are Turkish citizens, over a dispute about events which occurred 100 years ago and committed by a predecessor state is not the way to win friends in an ethnic cleansing argument.
Long time reader Ali pointed out that Turks were also victims of ethnic cleansing during World War I and that "All Turks, except the most extreme of the extreme nationalists, recognize that there were large scale massacres of Armenians during and right after World War I." It is such a shame these extremists hold sway in both the Republican People's Party and the Justice and Development Party.

I would suggest that members of the Republican People's Party and the Justice and Development Party generally also recognize that there were massacres of Armenians in the teens and early twenties. The opinion in Turkey is that many Armenians died but so did a lot of Turks, so why should Armenians be treated as victims? The point where Turkish opinion diverges from Western opinion is Turkish refusal to have these events classified as genocide. Especially in light of the fact that the massacres committed against Turks, Kurds, Circassians, and Muslims Caucasians are generally forgotten by the West.
- Ali said...
I also wonder how different the position to deport Armenians is from the more hard-line Republican insistence that millions of illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central America be deported? Tom Tancredo, Lou Dobbs and his ilk come to mind.
And on this topic, perhaps Americans should look back to a silenced chapter of their history, the Mexican "Repatriation" (1930-1940) when over a half a million people of Mexican descent (most holders of US Citizenship) were harrassed and bullied into leaving the United States by the INS, often without due process of the law. And then there is Operation Wetback in 1954.
Or perhaps Americans should look back at the violent tactics they used to occupy the Philippines during their conquest of the formerly Spanish territory. Between 500,000 and a million Filipinos were killed. The generals leading the American army used many of the same tactics they used with for the subjugation of the Native Americans of the plains using complete scorched earth campaigns, "where entire villages were burned and destroyed, torture (water cure[75]) and the concentration of civilians into "protected zones"[76] (Wikipedia). No one harasses Barack Obama about the actions of his predecessor of a hundred years ago, and yet Turkey is constantly given this rubbish about World War I.

The musical was great, it was easy to get our tickets and the seats were good. This was our first trip to new you and its always great to see a show on Broadway, Great experiance
Was not cheap, but was elated when we arrived at Theatre as had front row seats!
The whole family loved this show - even my husband and eldest daughter who are not huge fans of musical theatre.
We had great seats - right in front of the stage, where we could see the actors close up. The Sam Shubert Theatre is quite a small venue and at first we were concerned about being so close to the stage but actually when the show started we realised how great the seats were and despite being only one row back, we saw everything with ease.
To be honest 'Matilda' kept us spellbound right up until the end, and the quality of acting and singing was superb, especially when you consider how young some of the cast are.
It's definitely a show worth seeing for all ages!
Fantastic! Highly recommended, kids also loved it (4 and 5yrs).
bad seats bat a great show
This was amazing. We went as 2 adults no Childeren in our party. Very enjoyable and cast was amazing!!! Tickets where front of Stage so couldn't have got any closer. Would highly recommend it.
Fabulous show. Tickets easy to collect and realt good seats.
This tour was amazing!
Great show, pretty good seats, we had a lot of fun
So much fun - talented cast. Tickets were wonderful and really easy to use
Amazing show! Super quick and easy to get the ticket in exchange for the printed voucher. The theatre is very cleverly decorated. Sets and props are very well done. Acting and singing absolutely awesome. A must see show for all ages.
Great show, great Tickets
Great show. Exchanging voucher for tickets was done very professionally. Would recommend viator to friends and family without hesitation.
We enjoyed this show very much. The acting was wonderful and the staging was incredible. My only complaint was with the seating. The seats are very uncomfortable for anyone over about five feet six inches tall or over 150 pounds.
The best musical I've ever seen... Kids loved it also .
Great show
Great performance! Thoroughly enjoyable, process was very easy!
Susan H Australia
fantastic experience and show. Great tickets in the very front row. Second row would have been perfect. Don't purchase the drinks at interval. A bottle of water and a cup of wine was $19. The wine was the most undrinkable rough red I have ever tasted. The show is a must for both children and adults (including a husband who doesn't really like musicals)
Heaps of fun! Amazing sets!
Unfortunately, we had seen the Book of Mormon last year and Matilda does not live up to it. That being said, it was enjoyable, certainly the child dancer-actor-singers were impressive.

UPDATE: Click HERE for testimony from the child victim of Mendeecees Harris.
Mendeecees Harris manipulated a girl in her mid-teens into having sex with him on a regular basis in his Lodi home, a prosecutor told jurors during opening arguments today in the former "Love & Hip Hop" star's rape trial.
"We call it taking candy from a baby," Assistant Bergen County Prosecutor Demetra Maurice said, according to CliffviewPilot.com, which is covering the trial in Hackensack, N.J.
"An adult like Mendeecee Harris can easily manipulate a child into doing things like performing oral sex – with words, with actions and later, with money," Maurice said, as Harris, his girlfriend — fellow "Love & Hip Hop" celebrity Yandy Smith — and other family members and friends looked on.
Defense attorney Brian Neary, in turn, said the incidents "never happened" and that the girl concocted the story "so she would be able to stay in New Jersey." He promised them they'd see that when the girl herself testifies in the trial.
An entourage escorted Yandi Smith into the courtroom and moved with her during breaks — with some holding coats over her face to block photographers. READ MORE….

Initial D
Second & Third Stage (S.A.V.E)
Trailer | TV-PG
Stage 2 Takumi's rise to the top the street racing underground is the stuff of legend, but his status as the best is on the line once again. Team Emperor's in town with a singular goal: to crush all opposition. The team's drivers are as aggressive as their cars are advanced, and Akina's Eight-Six might be outclassed. There's a chance that Takumi's skills have surpassed the abilities of his beloved machine, and if he wants to maintain his rep, severe modifications must be made. Unfortunately, mechanical woes aren't his only problem, thanks to some rumors going around about his girl. The distractions are definitely stacking up, and so are the challengers. That means it's time for Takumi to do what he does best - keep his eyes on the road ahead and floor it. Stage 3 Anyone can drive fast. Only one driver can be the fastest. It takes nerve, skill, and the right car - and Takumi's got all three. His rep as a dominating downhill racer is growing, but when he's invited to drive for an all-star team that could change the face of local racing, Takumi's got to beat his stiffest competition before he'll join their ranks: himself. With graduation approaching, his classmates drift toward uncertain futures. For Takumi, looking ahead means putting as many challengers in his rearview mirror as he can. If he can prove to himself that he's ready, the next stage is waiting, and it's all downhill from there.

It's boot season in Spokane and we're not talking about fall fashion. The City of Spokane has stepped up it's efforts to collect $4 Million in unpaid parking tickets.
On Tuesday parking enforcement officers seized their first car with the boot, a Ford Excursion parked near the Spokane County Courthouse. People at the courthouse say a local defense attorney parks his vehicle in the spot, and parking enforcement officers say they are familiar with the vehicle and regularly write it tickets.
On Tuesday, instead of getting another parking ticket, that attorney got booted.
"We are actively looking for vehicles with outstanding parking tickets,four or more, that are in collection that are boot eligible," city spokesman Brian Coddington said.
In this case, the Excursion's owner doesn't have four or more unpaid tickets; he has dozens, including the ones that could be seen sitting on the floor in the back seat. To add insult to injury, even before parking enforcement officers showed up to install the boot the parking meter for the SUV had expired.
"We've had ample opportunity for people to be able to take care of these tickets," Coddington said. "We went through a 60 day amnesty program which was well publicized and people were able to take advantage of that program to pay of their tickets without additional fees and fines."
Even though the attorney makes regular trips to the Public Safety Building, where he could have easily gone to municipal court and paid his tickets, he didn't, which is why he got booted. Now he has 48 hours to settle all his tickets with a debt collection service or his Excursion gets impounded.
"If you're caught, if the boot goes on the vehicle, you've got 48 hours to pay in full before the vehicle is impounded. Each step of the way incurs additional fines and costs," Coddington said.

Rational System Architect - unable to create Enterprise encyclopedias in Oracle
Technote (troubleshooting)
On Oracle databases, an error message is raised when you create an Enterprise encyclopedia. A message is also raised when you attach a Professional encyclopedia to a Catalog, and then open that encyclopedia.
Attempts to create a new Enterprise encyclopedia on an Oracle database (from SA or SA Catalog Manager) results in the error message "unable to create encyclopedia."
Also, when you attach a Professional encyclopedia to a Catalog in an Oracle database, and then try to open it in Rational System Architect, you get the error message "you do not have permission to open this encyclopedia."
Resolving the problem
This issue is resolved in the commercial release of Rational System Architect 188.8.131.52 and later.
In an Oracle database, use only Professional encyclopedias. If you need to create or use an Enterprise encyclopedia, use Microsoft SQL Server instead.

Sorry to disagree, but here in Italy calzone are baked and does not always contain ricotta cheese. Basically, the calzone here can contain any toppings normally used on a pizza!

The WTO Has Put America on the Path to Becoming a "Colony" Again
The World Trade Organization (WTO) has come to represent the most efficient form of colonization the world has ever seen – reaping all the benefits with no downsides of occupation. The corporate agenda of the organization has destroyed the American economy, allowing multinationalists to exploit the world's cheap resources and put America out of work and out of business.
The WTO routinely trumps U.S. laws and conventions with its rulings. According to former trade representative Robert Lighthizer, the U.S. is one of the most sued nations in the WTO, and we lose 9 out of every 10 cases brought against us. By signing the agreement with the World Trade Organization, Congress agreed to concede a major portion of our sovereignty and usurp our democratic legislative process, including:
- Conforming U.S. laws, regulations and administrative procedures to the will of the WTO (Article XVI, p. 10)
- Subjecting all federal, state and local laws and practices that affect trade to international review by the WTO (Article XVI, p. 10)
- Allowing any WTO member country to challenge federal, state and local laws and practices as trade impeding (Section 2 of the Dispute Settlement Understanding)
- Taking all trade disputes to the WTO judiciary – giving the WTO final jurisdiction over all trade altercations. No appeal exists outside of the WTO (Section 2 of the Dispute Settlement Understanding)
- Empowering the WTO to enforce its rulings by imposing fines on the United States until we comply
- Disallowing Congress to change the agreement
It is absolutely imperative that we renegotiate terms or completely withdraw from the WTO. What benefits does our nation receive from being a part of this corrupt organization? While we routinely have to overturn laws and face penalties, nations such as China and members of the European Union have been free to run amuck over international trading laws.
The Rights of America are Subservient to the Will of the World Trade Organization. Those who Signed this Lengthy Agreement did not Read the Fine Print or did not have the Interests of America in Mind.

Three people have reportedly been killed by security forces across Syria on Wednesday. Bashar Al-Assad has spoken to supporters in Damascus for the second time in the last 24 hours, reiterating his dismissal of calls to step down. He's blaming the ten-month-long unrest in the country on foreign-funded terrorists, promising to crush them with extreme prejudice. The UN says Damascus has stepped up its crackdown on protesters, but Assad claims no order was ever given to fire on civilians. The President's pledged commitment to Democratic reform, promising a referendum on a new constitution by March, and free elections soon after. RT talks to independent news editor James Corbett.
One Response to Anti-Assad Conspiracy: Bloody crime or paranoid fantasy
Nureddin Sabir January 14, 2012 at 7:03 pm #
At long last the Syrian people, like their Libyan, Tunisian and Egyptian brothers and sisters, have broken the fear barrier and risen up against the brutal, fascist dictatorship of the traitor Bashar al-Asad. It's only a matter of time until he falls, but I fear many rivers of blood will have to be crossed before then.
Like his father Hafiz, who ordered the mass murder of Palestinian refugees in Tal al-Zaatar refugee camp in Lebanon in 1976, in addition to murdering upwards of 10,000 of his own people in Hama in 1982, Bashar is interested only in power. And to retain power he will do anything, including prostituting himself to Israel (see, for example, Will the USA take Makhlouf's Israel bait?).
There are no American or Zionist conspiracies here. This is the Arab people rising up against dictatorship and stagnation. And the last countries on earth that want us to succeed are the US and Israel (in addition to that abominable mafia state, Russia).

Mice in the Freezer, Owls on the Porch
The Lives of Naturalists Frederick and Francis Hamerstrom
Publication Year: 2002
Mice in the Freezer, Owls on the Porch is in many ways a love story—about a quiet scientist and his flamboyant wife, but also about their passions for hunting, for wild lands, and for the grouse and raptor species that they were instrumental in saving from destruction.
From the papers and letters of Frederick and Frances Hamerstrom, the reminiscences of contemporaries, and her own long friendship with this extraordinary couple who were her neighbors, Helen Corneli draws an intimate picture of Fran and "Hammy" from childhood through the genesis and maturation of a romantic, creative, and scientific relationship. Following the Hamerstroms as they give up a life of sophisticated convention and comfort for the more "civilized" (as Aldo Leopold would have it) pleasures of living and conducting on-the-spot research into diminishing species, Corneli captures the spirit of the Hamerstroms, their profession, and the natural and human environments in which they worked. A nuanced account of the labors, adventures, and achievements that distinguished the Hamerstroms over the years—and that inspired a generation of naturalists—this book also provides a dramatic account of conservation history over the course of the twentieth century, particularly in Wisconsin during the eventful years from the 1920s through the 1970s.

- PET biochip fabrication for DNA sample preparation
- Author(s)
- Atkin, Micah James
- Abstract
- There are many potential applications for the use of microfluidic biochips in molecular diagnostics. Two areas of research that have received considerable attention for integration into microfluidic devices are the stages of DNA amplification and detection, less investigated is that of DNA sample preparation. The focus of the bulk of this research has been on the traditional methods of micromachining in glass and silicon materials. More recently polymers have been investigated as a lower cost alternative. The reports to date of polymeric microfluidic devices have focused on bulk surface machining, or replication techniques. The alternative approach of machining and layering polymer films has shown promise for greater 3-dimensional structuring and continuous production. It is known that some polymers fluoresce at the wavelengths commonly used for DNA fluorescence detection, reducing the signal to noise ratio. It is also known that the surface charge detrimentally impacts many DNA amplification and detection techniques by the non-specific binding of proteins. There have been few reports of microfluidic biochips fabricated from Poly(ethylene Terephthalate) (PET) for molecular diagnostics. This thesis describes an investigation into a novel method for fabricating a DNA sample preparation biochip by laser machining and the subsequent layering of PET films. A new method of laser micromachining microfluidic structures in PET film using a direct-write 355nm frequency tripled Nd:YAG (Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet; Nd:Y3Al5O12) laser was investigated, with the results indicating that ablation was dominated by photothermal processes. A reproducible ablation threshold of 2.0 ± 0.3 J/cm2 and etch rates of up to 25μm per beam pass were achieved. Compression of melt at the cut edge produced channel dimension close to the beam diameter, having a channel width down to 30 ± 5 μm for film thicknesses between 12-350 μm. During process development it was shown that surface oxidation of the film was important for improving capillary flow, electroosmotic flow, bonding time and quality, and that it detrimentally impacted biocompatibility and fluorescence. The laser machined surfaces had a reduction in the ester component compared to the non machined surfaces. Surface oxidation techniques were developed for improved microfluidic performance and bonding using chemical saponification and UV photooxidation. These produced a change in the contact angle from 75o for the native PET film down to 16o and 35o respectively. However, only UV patterning by non-contact masking enabled localised surface oxidation with features down below 100 μm for limiting the impact of surface modification on biocompatibility and fluorescence. To demonstrate the applicability of these techniques polymer microfluidic filtration chips were investigated for leukocyte filtration and particle retention for solid phase extraction. Filter membranes were achieved with pore exit dimensions down to 1μm and porosities up to 50% with non-supported spans of 1x2mm. Cake-layer formation proved to be an issue during in-line leukocyte filtration causing non-reversible filter fouling and increased backpressures, with back-flushing having limited success only when using surface modified membranes. Stable solid-phase matrices were achieved using irregularly shaped particles (25-75μm) resulting in extraction efficiencies of approximately 7-14% with the first elution containing approximately 82% of the DNA recovered. This thesis concludes that frequency tripled Nd:YAG laser ablation of PET films can be used to produce components of a biochip for molecular diagnostics, namely microfluidics and solid phase extraction of DNA. This new laser machining method of PET film enables the fabrication of microfluidic channels more quickly than excimer based lasers, and with improved feature resolution in comparison to CO2 lasers. Importantly, the thin film fabrication process can be used for fabricating microfluidic filtration devices entirely from polymers. It was shown that the detrimental impact of the fabrication process on device biocompatibility and fluorescence can be removed by using masking techniques to pattern the oxidised areas.

Ryan Steinert, 24, Concordia, has pleaded guilty in federal court to planning to rob the Jamestown State Bank in 2008.
James Cross, public information officers for U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom, said Steinert pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bank robbery. In his plea, he admitted he conspired with co-defendant Eric Strait, a former Concordian, to rob the bank. Strait was arrested in November 2012, and pleaded guilty in May to one count of bank robbery.
On Nov. 18, 2008, Strait entered the Jamestown State Bank at about 9:45 a.m. wearing a mask and brandishing a Remington, 12 gauge, pump-action shotgun. He filled a duffle bag with approximately $5,600 in cash, and drove away in a stolen car.
Weeks before the robbery, Steinert conspired with Strait to plan the crime. Steinert admitted to accompanying Strait as Strait stole the shotgun that was used in the robbery.
On or about Nov. 13, 2008, Strait stole a vehicle from Clyde to use it during the robbery. Steinert admitted that he helped Strait by driving him to where the stolen car was hidden and helped to position the car prior to the robbery, as well as helping wipe down the vehicle to remove fingerprints and physical evidence. Steinert also admitted that he helped Strait dispose of the shotgun after the robbery, and received a share of the stolen money.
Steinert's sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 9. He faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a fine up to $250,000. Strait's sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 5.

Principle of sovereignty
Popular sovereignty or the sovereignty of the people is the principle that the authority of the government is created and sustained by the consent of its people (Rule by the People), who are the source of all political power. It is closely associated with republicanism and social contract philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Popular sovereignty expresses a concept and does not necessarily reflect or describe a political reality. It is usually contrasted with the concept of parliamentary sovereignty, and with individual sovereignty.
Benjamin Franklin expressed the concept when he wrote, "In free governments, the rulers are the servants and the people their superiors and sovereigns".
The term "squatter sovereignty" is used by Jefferson Davis in his book A Short History of the Confederate States of America. This term referred to the influx of new citizens in order to manipulate the ultimate sovereign votes. At the 1860 Democratic National Convention, William L. Yancey used the phrase "squatter sovereignty" in a speech he gave. Popular sovereignty also can be described as the voice of the people.
