When you see how Haitians are slaving away in the streets, it reminds you of an epoch a long time ago when our ancestors were slaves. In those days, it was only human force that made the country rich." Today, such a tradition continues, in which women make the country 'rich' - not only through their economic contributions but also through their continuation of the resistance and push for reform that has characterized Haiti since its founding. - Haitian feminist journalist Mirlene Joanis,
I was introduced to Haiti and the Haitian people ten years ago when an American friend of mine gifted me a book authored by President Jean - Bertrand Aristide. I got to know for the first time President Jean - Bertrand Aristide and his incredible work in uplifting the living condition of Haitian people. President Aristide a priest who became the Haitian president told me how globalization and colonization made Haitian the poorest people in the Western Hemisphere.
As I read the pages of the book I had seen a reflection of us breathing the same pain and courage. I felt so much connected with the stories simply because we have common history and stories as oppressed people of the world. We have both Spain and US as our historical colonizers and US as our continuing colonizer. Our difference is they had France in 1800-1900's while we had Japan in the 1940's.
I already forgot the title of the book and I felt sad that the it is not with me anymore. The flash flood of Typhoon Frank in 2007 in the whole island of Panay took that away from me. However, the the stories of Haitian struggle for justice and freedom from slavery remained vivid in my mind. Like the Philippines, their slavery is rooted in their colonial history and still a painful reality of our today's history.
I was so impressed of how the book was written. It was very simple yet so powerful. In fact, it was one of the many books that tickled me to dream of writing my own. After reading that book, I never had a chance of encountering Haiti again not until last January 12.
The January 12 earthquake was evidently an earthshaking phenomenon that put Haiti in the center of the international attention. Such tragedy once more ignited the flame of solidarity that I kept inside of me. The already devastated lives of millions Haitian people were shattered and battered by the 7.3 magnitude earth quake which largely destroyed the country's capital Port-au-Prince of 2 million population.
The first thing that struck my mind was the survival of the poor children and women, the older ones and the incapacitated. Current reports estimated 200,000 lives were loss with three million people homeless, hundreds of thousands injured who extremely need emergency help. Pregnant women and sick children are in dire need of food, medicine and water.
Haitian People and Women's Leadership in Turbulent Times
It was so heartbreaking that the Haitian women's movement loss some of their courageous leaders. Magalie Marcelin, Anne Marie Coriolan and Myriam Merlet as well as other progressive leaders who were supposed to be in their sides giving comfort and courage to move on through the ravages of this disaster. President Jean -Bertrand Aristide the exiled democratically elected president of the Haitian people emotionally wiped his tears delivering his statement at the hotel next to Johannesburg's Airport. President Aristide expressed his willingness to return to Haiti to help the people rebuild their lives but not given a chance.
Inspite of their leaders' absence, the Haitian people courageously rose above the shock and trauma of the tragedy. In the first crucial 48 hours of relief and rescue operation they moved speedily. They rescued buried fellow Haitians, their families, their neighbors and their loves ones from the rubbles with their bare hands. They built 450 tents and distributed foods and water which made 1.5 million Haitian survived.
The progressive people's movement , including the women's movement , non-profit organizations and the Cuban medical personnel with other nations medical volunteers including Spain , Mexico and Colombia worked very hard hand in hand with their facilities themselves had improvised. Organizations such as the Pan –American Health Organization (PAHO), friendly countries such as Venezuela, and other nations supplied medicines and other resources reported by Fidel Castro in Cuban News.
I passionately follow up the news everyday and really felt so sad of the unfathomable catastrophe inflicted to the already broken lives of the Haitian population. The images of women and children in such a devastating situation are beyond compare neither to my experience in 2007 flashflood that submerged our house nor to the Typhoon Ondoy that wreck the country's capital Manila last year.
I was breathlessly awed and proud by the resiliency of the millions Haitian women surviving and coping up psychologically and emotionally. Mourning for the loss of their loved ones, taking care of themselves and of their children and of those survived family members starving and grueling in pain was such a power! I give my full admiration and commendation especially the Haitian women, the men and the young ones in their collective effort and self organization as people to take care of themselves in times of mourning, desperation and discrimination.
Evidently, the Haitian people stood still in their continued fight for their survival. Like any oppressed and poor countries of the world such as the Philippines, the Haitian are accustomed to survival and conflict and have their own inherent and learned collective capacity to take care of each other especially in times of distress, resistance and uncertainty.
President Rene Preval , UN Foreign Troops and the Obama - US Troops Leadership:
The horrific cries for life and pain of the millions injured victims and the hundreds of thousands dead bodies lying on the streets fell into the deaf ears and blind eyes of President Rene Preval during the crucial hours of anguish and pain. Haitian President Rene Preval was invisible. Even the 9,000 United Nation's forces were not doing anything to help the people according to correspondence of Camille Chambers of the Haitian Platform to Advocate Alternative Development (PAPDA) to the Haitian Support Group based in UK in January 15.
Al Jazeera reported that on January 18 as Haitians desperately await food and water, medical aid and help digging out from under the devastating destruction of the earthquake, the U.S. has put thousands of heavily armed soldiers on the ground, taken over the airport and turned back flights from other countries bringing in aid. "We don't need soldiers and guns" said a former Haitian Defense Minister.
Hundreds of Haitians watched with a mixture of resignation and anger on Tuesday as several helicopters landed U.S. troops in the grounds of the Presidential Palace, an act considered by many Haitians as a loss of sovereignty, the AFP reported on January 19.
"I haven't seen them distributing food downtown, where the people urgently need water, food and medicine. This looks more like an occupation," said Wilson Guillaume, a 25-year-old student.
Worse there were several incidence of violence comitted both by the UN and US troops during the relief distributions from being invisible in the earlier days of the rescue operations. Partrick Martin of the Global Reseach in his January 28 column cited diffrent incidence of violence.
On Monday, Uruguayan troops, part of the UN peacekeeping force deployed here since 2004, fired rubber bullets at people who crowded around food trucks, eventually pulling out and leaving sacks of rice to be fought over. The next day, Brazilian troops proceeded more aggressively, using pepper spray and tear gas to hold off a crowd seeking food at a tent camp on the grounds of the devastated presidential palace. People ran from the spray coughing and with their eyes streaming. Two tanks were brought up to menace the crowds when they began to reform, although Fernando Soares, a Brazilian army colonel, told the press: "They're not violent, just desperate. They just want to eat." One soldier loaded a shotgun as the crowd watched, but did not fire. "They treat us like animals, they beat us, but we are hungry people," one Haitian, Muller Bellegarde, told an American reporter. Force was used as well by Haitian police at a food-distribution site in Cite Soleil, the largest and most impoverished section of the capital city. Police swung sticks and clubs to drive back the crowd.
However, these incidences were sensationally misreported by other mainstream media institutions portraying Haitian seeking and scavenging foods in the rubbles as "violent, desperate and looters" thus, targets for repression and persecution by foreign troops and local Haiti police. On the other hand, the UN foreign troops , US Forces and other international NGO's were trumpeted as peacekeepers and saviors of women and children while Cuba's 400 medical personnel expert in earthquake's and disaster humanitarian aid working in Haiti as one of the most effective and quick responders was hardly recognized.
And I felt so enraged of this callousness, of the war- oriented Obama administration and other international NGO's and media outlets who took advantage of the vulnerabilities of Haitian people in their most trying times. When Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia and other Latin American countries immediately send their experienced doctors and rescue teams with medical supplies to save the Haitian victims survivors, the Obama administration sent his more than 10,000 US troops of Marines and 82nd Airborne Division. These troops were known as expert in commando operations in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Latin America with no experience in disaster and humanitarian aid weeks later.
Agents of Misinformation and Information
One report from IPS News in Haiti tells, "In the day following the quake, there was no widespread violence. Guns, knives and theft weren't seen on the streets, lined only with family after family carrying their belongings. They voiced their anger and frustration with sad songs that echoed throughout the night, not their fists."
"There are thousands of young Haitian men who speak English and they show up at the make-shift hospitals every single morning from 6am till late at night as volunteer translators between the people and the international medical personnel and relief workers. I have never seen anything like this!" wrote Flavia Cherry, of CAFRA to the Caribbean Political Economy, January 30, 2010.
But what you do not see on TV, is the extent to which aid efforts are being mishandled by those international people who think they know everything. What you do not see on TV is the thousands of military officers heavily armed, standing roaming around doing nothing when there is absolutely no need for this kind of military presence. Just think of what it must take to house, feed, pay and care for each of those heavily armed military officers. Compare this to the women and children living under tents made of bed sheets, who are yet to see any aid efforts reaching them."
"Port-au-Prince is a city filled with people searching for survival, organizing the few resources they have to provide much-needed services for their communities. I have not seen any evidence that people are hijacking cars on the roads and stealing provisions, as we had been warned by friends and the media. This trip has provided me with insight into many ways that the mass media misrepresents the current situation in Haiti", journalist blogger Tanya Bolas –Goza wrote in her blog site.
"Despite this perception, which is fueled by mass media portrayals of Haitians as looters and desperate, I have seen plenty of evidence that Haitians are capable of organizing themselves and distributing resources. Unfortunately, the calm streets and civic organization of Haitians does not seem to be newsworthy for mainstream media", Tanya continued.
These efforts should be newsworthy, as it takes a tremendous amount of fortitude to maintain dignity in unimaginably difficult circumstances. The perseverance of Haitians should serve as an inspiration to rebuild the country as well as a beacon of hope, she ended.
More State Violence and Looting Expected:
The almost 10,000 US Forces dispatched in Haiti may aggravate the harrowing situation instigated both by disaster response inadequacy of both corrupt US - backed government and the violent UN foreign troops under the US Global War on Terror . Behind of this so-call humanitarian aid lies the montrous US agenda of occupation of Haiti and remilitarization of the Carribean Basin.
'The entry of ten thousand heavily armed US troops, coupled with the activities of local militia could potentially precipitate the country into social chaos. These foreign forces have entered the country to reinforce MINUSTAH "peacekeepers" and Haitian police forces (integrated by former Tonton Macoute), which since 2004, have been responsible for war crimes directed against the Haitian people, including the indiscriminate killing of civilians" according to Michel Chossudovsky, author of the international best –seller The Globalization Of Poverty and the New World Order.
Women may get raped and sexually abused knowing the human rights violation records of US troops in the Philippines , Vietnam, Japan, Iraq among others. Domestic violence will be on the rise due to hopelessness and desperation for limited humanitairan aid. Child abuses and family breakdown will rise up due to undealt psychological trauma. More children will be victimized of child traficking as done by the American Baptist Missionaries to the Haitian 33 children disguised for adoption cases.
US witll continue to heavily burdened Haitian people with his neo liberal policies looting the country's remaining resources. More Haitian women will leave their surviving families behind scavenging for food in foreign and hostile lands. More women and children may die of diseases, malnutrition and pregnancy due to very limited social services. Job losses will create more dependency to unsustainable foreign relief assistance.
Radical Change is the Only Hope:
Like any oppressed and poor countries of the world, the Haitian women together with their husbands and children did not wait and expect much from the very government that oppresses them. They hoped their chances of survival through their own little hands together with the solidarity of the people of the world.
The scourge may last for a lifetime but I believe the Haitian women will continue to rise and raise their hands from the rubbles braver than before. The sounds of their marching steps and their thundering voices for radical change will echo in every corner of the world. Humanitarian aids is very much needed of every Haitian woman, man and child at this juncture in Haitian history. But the change they needed is beyond humanitarin aid. The radical change the Haitian women want is the freedom from foreign occupation of UN forces and US forces and the US own installed Preval government.
I therefore, join the call of Haitian women to immediately pull out US forces and UN forces in Haiti; immediate cancellation of all Haitian foreign debt and provide more aids directly through people's and women organizations. Let us support Haitian women , men and children rise from the rubbles and be free from slavering forces. Only then, Haitian people can truly shape their own destiny with dignity towards prosperity###

Haitian Women Situation and Resistance http://www.potomitan.net/trailer.html
Merian Merlet Women Leader Killed in Haiti Earthquake http://myayiti.com/2010/01/videoanother-casualty-of-the-haiti-earthquake...0Send Me Love
I so appreciate your thoughts and insight from the perspective of one living under foreign occupation. As a trained disaster responder, I know firsthand however that there are foreigners who go in with every good intention and do their very best to help the people affected. I have worked alongside government emergency response teams, police and firefighters who work tirelessly to help those in need, not sleeping, giving up their food or beds to those without, and who became good friends of those they assisted to the point that those relationships continued long after the disaster struck.
The process is by no means perfect and often there are ways collaboration and cooperation with the local people can be vastly improved, but on an individual level, there are many responders who make many sacrifices to assist the victims and I would hope that their individual efforts are acknowledged, as much as the fallibility of the system is acknowledged.
Beyond the humanitarian aid though, there needs to be strong representation of the Haitian people in the planning and rebuilding of Haiti so that, as you said, they can truly shape their own destiny with dignity towards prosperity.
Dearest Malaya, This article has affected me deeply. It has stuck with me for days, as I did my Ironing and as I walked my children to school. I wasn't sure whether to respond, or if I did, what I should say. I am surprised in all the time I've left this that no-one else has responded since Janice and I'm sorry for that. You are a great and passionate writer and this is a truly important subject. I admire you greatly for your honesty. It is imperative that all of us continue to feel able to express ourselves honestly in this space we call Pulsewire so that we can all learn and understand each other more fully. I admire your courage in that endeavor. That said, wow! that was so hard to hear. I am not an American, I merely live here, as you know. However I am British and in some circles that is just as bad as being American if not worse in some cases...and my children, they are being brought up here in America and I am proud of that. There are many wonderful people here in this country and many wonderful people working as missionaries, in the peace corps, as soldiers even and as government officials, who truly believe in their hearts that they are doing everything they can to make a better world not just for themselves and their own country but for others as well. The problem is, some of us don't always get it right, all the time. How could we? But I personally feel that giving up and returning to our own countries when another is in trouble , without doing anything at all, is far worse than trying at least to do something. I am so sorry that you and your country have suffered so much at the hands of oppression led by some American leaders. I had not learned anything of this situation in the Philippines until you started writing about it, so thank you for continuing to inform us. Many people in America continue to be completely clueless about the effects of their leaders foreign policies. Most people aren't even aware America has a foreign policy! Its true! The general public votes in their leaders based on what they feel they will do for them, not what they will do outside these borders. On a more personal level, I understand first hand how hard it is to see, how a person who has done us so much wrong could possibly be seen to be good in another persons eyes. After all, if they have acted so maliciously towards us, then how could they possibly not act that same way to another person? Isn't it our duty therefore to protect other people from possible danger? I can only imagine the depth of this same feeling, that I have held because of one person, that you appear to be feeling towards an entire nation of people who came into your country behaving badly towards you. However, I hope that through your journey here on World Pulse you will start to meet more and more of us westerners who are truly trying our best and are aiming always for right intention in our hearts. I truly hope I get to meet you when you come to America. Feeling very emotional as I write this, Much love and many blessings for peace and prosperity to yourself, your country and of course to the people of Haiti. Tina x

When suburbs emerged in the 1950s and '60s, "green" meant well-manicured lawns and grassy expanses of public parks. But the cost to maintain those public areas has changed, inspiring some suburbanites and their governments to change the way they manage the land.
For example, Sustainable Worthington was formed in late 2006 by residents concerned about the environment and other issues. Forty people attended the first gathering, said Lucretia "Lucie" Ballard, who helped found the group.
The group's e-mail list now contains the names of more than 170 people, including Worthington Parks and Recreation Director Lynda Chambers. Its successes have inspired others to form similar groups in Clintonville, Gahanna, Grandview Heights, Pickerington and Westerville. Most work with their local governments on projects.
Worthington is considered a model of sustainability: the idea of providing for the present with the least impact on the future. Still, Chambers credited the "spontaneity of nature" - Hurricane Ike passing through on Sept. 14 - and city workers in equal parts for a plan to remake a swath of parkland along the Olentangy River.
Hundreds of trees downed by Ike were ground into wood chips.
At first, the city planned to replace only existing paths. Then it decided to lay a new trail more than a mile long.
The evolving landscape inspired city park employees - arborists, a conservationist, a turf expert and a landscape artist - to think even bigger.
They already were working with the U.S. Forest Service to plant American elms in the suburb. One tree in an area with a climate such as central Ohio's can remove as much as 7,000 pounds of carbon in its lifetime, according to the Nature Conservancy Web site.
"That's one of those 'already-started' projects that got us thinking bigger," said Wade Lallathin, the Worthington turf expert. He enlarged a map of the park and slapped it on an office wall, and everybody jotted down ideas.
This spring, they moved 80 sycamore saplings from the city's tree nursery on Godown Road to replace non-native varieties that had fallen along the river. They've also sown the first of a series of prairies with native-grass seed and plan to add wildflower seeds.
Arborist Jamie Britt said the native plants should cost less to maintain, push out invasive species and make the park more interesting to people and wildlife, especially birds.
The movement to return public land to a more natural state is a small but visible part of a larger trend by cities to go green.
A total of 935 mayors from all the states have signed on to the U.S. Conference of Mayors' Climate Protection Agreement, which echoes the U.N.'s Kyoto Protocol goals to cut greenhouse-gas emissions. Twenty-four Ohio mayors, including Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman, are included.
Closer to home, 22 central Ohio counties, cities, villages, townships and agencies such as COTA and Franklin County Metro Parks have joined the Green Pact of the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission. The pact includes a commitment to more-sustainable public spaces.
Among local projects:
Powell maintains two large prairie gardens in Meadowview Park in the Ashmoore subdivision. The parks department spends about $500 a year on native wildflower and grass seeds to maintain the gardens, said spokesman Jeff Robinson.
New Albany's service department is working with the state to design a sustainable prairie in the two interchanges it manages along Rt. 161, said village spokesman Scott McAfee. "It is appealing because it would be less costly to maintain, less mowing, and would produce fewer carbon emissions," he said in an e-mail.
Westerville's new City Green Team will begin to consider similar options next week, when the group meets for the first time, spokesman Adam Maxwell said.

|1 Pound, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice (Use 1 Small Sized)
|1 Small, thinly sliced
|3 Medium, thinly sliced (Use White And Tender Green)
|1 Medium, chopped
|Celery root
|1⁄2 Medium, peeled and cut into thin julienne strips
|Minced fresh ginger
|1 Teaspoon
|Crumbled thyme
|3⁄4 Teaspoon
|Crumbled marjoram
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Crumbled rosemary
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Freshly ground black pepper
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Rich beef stock
|10 Cup (160 tbs) (Preferably Homemade)
|Unsalted butter
|3 Tablespoon
|2 , minced
|Curry powder
|1 Teaspoon
|Freshly grated nutmeg
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|All purpose flour
|1 Tablespoon
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Chopped flat leaf parsley
|2 Tablespoon
1. In a large heavy saucepan, cook the bacon over moderately low heat until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels. Pour all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings into a heatproof bowl and reserve.
2. Add the bell pepper to the saucepan and stir-fry over moderate heat until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes; transfer to paper towels to drain.
3. Add 2 more tablespoons of the drippings to the saucepan and add the rutabaga, carrot, leeks, onion, celery root, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of the thyme, the marjoram, rosemary and black pepper. Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the leeks and onion are translucent but not browned, about 10 minutes.
4. Add the beef stock and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over moderately low heat until the rutabaga is tender, about 45 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings. In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the shallots and cook over moderate heat until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the curry powder, nutmeg, flour, salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon thyme; stir over low heat for 3 minutes.
6. In a food processor, cream the remaining 2 tablespoons butter with the egg. Add the couscous and process for 10 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Process for 10 seconds longer. Add the curry mixture and process for 15 seconds. (The couscous is still very granular at this point, but will soften when cooked.) Scrape the dumpling mixture onto a piece of foil and flatten slightly. Wrap and refrigerate until firm enough to shape, about 45 minutes. (The can be prepared 1 day ahead to this point. Return the soup to a simmer before proceeding.)
7. Pinch off small bits of the dumpling dough and roll, with lightly buttered hands, into 1/2-inch balls. Increase the heat to moderate so that the soup bubbles gently. Add all of the dumplings, cover and simmer gently—without peeking—for 30 minutes, or until the dumplings are tender and fluffy.
8. Stir the chopped parsley and the reserved bacon and bell pepper into the soup. Season with salt. Ladle into large shallow soup plates, making sure no one is slighted on dumplings.

Competition, higher fuel prices and acquisitions raise costs.
Virgin Australia has updated its full year costs for FY2013 to approximately AU$100 million, as well as an increase to fares and international fuel surcharges.
The additional costs come as the consequence of Virgin Australia's transition to the new Sabre booking and check-in platform, transaction costs relating to acquisition of Skywest Airlines and 60 percent of Tiger Airways up to 30 June 2013.
The added AU$64 million includes the original first-half cost estimations of AU$36 million and equates to approximately 2.4 percent of the airline's total operating expenditure for FY2013.
Pre-tax costs of the carbon tax for FY2013 are estimated to be between AU$45 million and AU$50 million and were unable to be recovered due to weak economic conditions and the competitive environment.
Virgin Australia expects a statutory loss after tax of between AU$95 million and AU$110 million.
The airline also announced increases to fares and international fuel surcharges in response to higher fuel costs and the fall of the Australian dollar.
Virgin Australia's fuel costs have risen by 13 percent over the past two months.
"In making these changes, we have been very conscious of balancing our commitment to providing competitive fares with the operational costs of our business," Virgin Australia chief commercial officer Judith Crompton said.
"We will continue to closely monitor fuel prices and consider increases or decreases to our fuel surcharges and fares in line with changes in market conditions."
For long-haul international flights each way to the United States, Europe and the Middle East; economy base fares will rise by AU$25 and premium economy by AU$35.
Business class fuel surcharges and base fares will increase by AU$50 each way to the United States, while a AU$65 rise will be imposed upon business class base fares each way to Europe and the Middle East.
The majority of short-haul international flights will incur a 3 percent increase in base fares, while domestic and regional base fares will also rise by an average of 3 percent.
The afore-mentioned changes will apply to tickets sold from 22 August 2013.

The portrait of Sherwood Anderson on view in NPG's Edward Steichen exhibition was taken for Vanity Fair by Steichen in 1925; Anderson biographer Kim Townsend records that as a great moment for Anderson, he was recognized by the magazine as "America's most distinctive novelist."
Born in Camden, Ohio, on September 13, 1876, Anderson was the third of seven children. His father, Irwin McLain Anderson, was a Civil War veteran and a poor businessman, whose efforts to provide for his family led them to Clyde, Ohio. Anderson would always associate the town with his father's inability to secure a steady means; later, in his writing, Anderson would replace Clyde with the fictional town of Winesburg.
Despite faulting his father for the family's struggles, Anderson would carry a few faults of his own into four marriages. His first marriage, to Cornelia Platt Lane in 1904, provided Anderson some small happinesses—and three children—but he suppressed his desire to write while working as a copy writer and an executive in a series of businesses. Shortly after the birth of his daughter, Marion, Anderson experienced a breakdown of sorts. The following account is from Irving Howe's biography, published in 1951:
On November 27, 1912, Anderson told his secretary, "My feet are cold and wet. I have been walking too long on the bed of a river." A few minutes later he left the factory. He walked out of the town, and for four days he aimlessly wandered about until, on December 1, he was found in Cleveland by a pharmacist.
Although his marriage to Cornelia would survive almost another four years, it would do so only by the most sparse definition of survival. Anderson immersed himself in his writing, and he found much success. Also, his influence on the next generation of writers was great; Anderson boosted the careers of both Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner. Kim Townsend writes:
From Hemingway's perspective, Anderson was a man who could help him get there. Anderson did not help him much with his writing. In a few years Anderson would tell his other great protégé—William Faulkner— that he would gladly help him find a publisher for his book as long as he didn't have to read it. Though he read more of what Hemingway wrote, Anderson helped him, as he would help Faulkner, mostly by his example. He represented professional success, he could say how you achieved it, he could say what you did to maintain it.
Anderson's stories were well received into the 1920s, and to this day, his novel Winesburg, Ohio is a staple of the American literature classroom. Sherwood Anderson died in March of 1941 in Panama, just as he was beginning research for a work on South America. He is buried in Marion, Virginia, near his home, Ripshin.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Working on Neil Gaiman's 'The Sandman'Damon Houx |
As we reported a month ago, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is involved with adapting 'Sandman' for the big screen, with David Goyer having written the film's outline. The new news is that Gordon-Levitt may not only star, but produce and direct the film as well.
Deadline reports that Gordon-Levitt is still eyeing the project and that Goyer (who's had a hand in all of DC's recent comic book adaptations) came up with the outline and will oversee the screenplay and produce. The Hollywood Reporter is suggesting that Gordon-Levitt is confirmed as the star and director. This news was originally broken by Badass Digest. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is coming off 'Don Jon,' which he wrote, directed and starred in, so it seems he's hoping to spend more time behind the camera. This also suggests that he's out of the running for Edgar Wright's 'Ant-Man.'
UPDATE: Levitt confirmed over Twitter that he's signed on for 'Sandman,' though whether he will star in and/or direct the film is still to be determined.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm incredibly honored to be working with David Goyer, Warner Bros, and @neilhimself on SANDMAN. #Prelude
— Joseph Gordon-Levitt (@hitRECordJoe) December 17, 2013
Just to clarify, folks. I've signed on as a producer on Sandman. The rest remains to be seen. Delighted you guys are excited. I am too!
— Joseph Gordon-Levitt (@hitRECordJoe) December 17, 2013
As we said at the time Neil Gaiman's 'The Sandman' was a 1990s Vertigo series that focused on Morpheus, the personification of dreams, who -- along with the rest of his extended family (Death, Destiny, Despair, etc) -- helps keep the universe running smoothly. The series rotated between high concept fantasy adventure, horror and philosophical, oddball drama, making it the kind of thing that's terrifically suited for a comic series but a tough nut to crack on any screen. Hopefully Goyer and Gordon-Levitt have cracked it.

Halfway across the country...for pheasant.
I've got a group of buddies that have been making an annual trip out to Kansas for the last 15 years or so. I took a break from the trip for about three years for various reasons (dating, engagement, marriage). This year I decided that I had to rekindle the Thanksgiving pheasant hunting tradition because my almost two year old GSP had not yet got a whiff of the long tailed birds.
My traveling buddy, Big Wally, and I departed on the 17th and 16 hours later we were back in Kansas. The rest of the group was already there. The weather forecast called for 50s & 60s. Those temps are a little warm for my taste but I'd packed as if I was going to take the place over.
After a decent nights sleep, we set into our morning routine of a big breakfast and then watching the sunrise.
My anticipation level was a little high for the first field. I wondered what Hazel would do when she smelled her first rooster? I had tried to prep her by explaining that these guys run like track stars. We had watched youtube videos of roosters flushing. All that was left to do was to step in the field.
We got about 20 yards into the first field and Hazel had a solid point right in front of me. I figured the bird was long gone and moved in for the flush. Two quail exploded and I dropped one. A quick retrieve and we were on the board.
About 50 yards further a covey of about 15 flushed ahead of the dogs. I think one rooster was taken from the first field. For one reason or another all the pheasant had moved to the far corner of the field and Hazel and I were left out of the action.
I love looking at the sites between fields. Hard to imagine what finally caused people to up and leave. I have a lot of respect for the folks who make a living by working this beautiful land.
It wasn't long until the temperatures really started to plunge. The folks at the Weather Channel were off a bit.
jasonkelkins at yahoo dot com
We were walking a grass edge to hunt a field when Hazel pointed about 50 yards to the front and left. She went from a dead sprint to a dead stop. The dog held but the bird didn't. A couple shots were fired in vain.
Next field Hazel and I caught up to the track star for the first time.
She locked up about 70 yards into a filed and I walked in. I really wish that I had carried a camera with me into that field. She was about two feet away from a rooster that she had nailed. I stepped in and the bird flushed up and was dropped on the second shot.
A very proud dad...
and a very tired little girl.
We got to see lots of the ultimate pheasant hunters...
and more old structures that I would love to hear the story behind...
jasonkelkins at yahoo dot com
a little more.
and fields that stretch forever.
Wally and I found some classy presents for our hunting buddies.
Somehow, toward the end of our trip the weather managed to get a little colder but we stayed tough and stayed in the birds.
This photo is not the best but is one of my favorites from the trip. My girl is one of the younger dogs on the trip and the lab, Jake, is one of the seniors. Jake is a bird hunting machine. It does not matter what kind of bird your hunting. I love watching Jake work. He is an amazing bird dog. I think my two favorite things about this trip is being able to watch some great dog work and being with a great group of guys.
The cast for the annual trip to Kansas has changed a bit over the years. But, at the end of the day I would say that in my experience this trip was one of the best so far. We had a great group of safe hunters. There were a few faces that I really wish were there...
but we toasted the guys who couldn't make the trip...
and hoped that they would be with us the next time the sun set on our brief time in Kansas.
jasonkelkins at yahoo dot com
Thanks for a great report and awesome pictures. Nothing like it and the pheasants make a great tablefare. I was born and raised in Ohio. My father and uncle operated a dairy farm south of Columbus. Every Thanksgiving the ritual was to finish milking and go pheasant hunting. Mid-afternoon was dinner and back to the cows.
John Torchick
Amazing photos of a quality trip. I really enjoyed that.
Excellent Photos. Glad you guys had a good time.
I notice lots of red faces....the result of cold winds of course.

The Best Personal Sommelier Apps for Your Smart Phone
The convenience of grabbing wine at the grocery store cannot be beat. But how to pick the best bottles? These three free apps come to the rescue. Cheers to that!
Best for Social Drinkers: Crushed Wine
If you want to know what your social network is drinking (and loving), then this app's for you (seen above). With an interface akin to Instagram—instead of "liking" a pic, users can "cheers" your vino as a virtual vote of confidence—and posting capabilities on Facebook and Twitter, Crushed forgoes ratings systems in favor of sharing.
Best for On-Trend Imbibers: Delectable
Used by many sommeliers for sharing real-time recommendations (that means fresh insider info for you!), this app's newest feature is label-image recognition. Snap a pic of the bottle on the shelf to pull up its origin, ratings and user reviews instantly.
Best for Frequent Quaffers: Vivino
Like Netflix for wine lovers, the Vivino app generates picks based on your preferences. The more wine you rate in its four-million-bottle database, the more spot-on its suggestions.

Play Matchmaker with Foodpairing
Cookies and cream? Clearly. PB&J? As natural as breathing. But caramel and squid? Not the first things you'd think to pair for dinner. Yet a new app from Foodpairing (from free to $18 per month) says the combo works on the basis of compatible flavor components. In fact, the company has had a global science team analyze hundreds of ingredients and their chemical compounds, and now chefs use the tool to inspire new recipes. With civilian foodies taking to the technology, too, we decided to plug everyone's fave fall ingredient into a search.

The Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE — Prosecutor Susana Martinez has won the Republican nomination for New Mexico governor.
She'll face Democrat Diane Denish in a general election race deciding who becomes the state's first female governor.
It will be the third woman-against-woman gubernatorial general election matchup in U.S. history. Martinez is the first Hispanic woman nationally to be nominated for governor by either Republicans or Democrats.
Martinez, the Dona Ana County district attorney, won a five-way contest for the GOP nomination Tuesday night with 51 percent of the vote in unofficial returns. Former state GOP chairman Allen Weh had 28 percent of the vote.
Denish, the lieutenant governor since 2003, was unopposed on the Democratic ballot.

I've been quite bullish on shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) for quite some time. For the last several months, the stock has served as a nice ATM for traders - buy below $12 and sell around $14. However, after the last earnings report, coupled with attractive products and roadmaps in a number of key segments, the stock is now a "buy" at the most recent close of $13.30/share and an absolute steal under the $13/share level.
While I defer in-depth analyses of Nvidia's various product segments to future, more focused articles, there are a number of compelling reasons to buy Nvidia at these levels:
- Kepler Lineup Expansion: When Nvidia first released its "Kepler" high end GTX 680 card for desktops, it was well recieved, with much praise for its power efficiency. Over the last several months, Nvidia has expanded its 28nm "Kepler" lineup to cover notebook chips as well as to lower price segments on the desktop. This will improve Nvidia's competitive position against AMD (NYSE:AMD), which has had 28nm graphics chips across its entire lineup for months. Margins should also be more attractive as 28nm "Kepler" chips due to the smaller die-sizes of the chips.
- Aggressive Presence In Mobile: Despite being up against a number of giants on the mobile side, most notably Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM), Nvidia has not shied away from aggressively pushing in the space. Tegra 3 was a hit that saw a good deal of high profile design wins, including the Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Nexus 7 tablet and Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Surface. Future iterations of the Tegra chips should be more aggressive on pursuing power efficient graphics performance, which should further differentiate the company's solutions.
- Valuation Is Attractive: With $3.28B in cash, no long term debt, and a market capitalization of $8.24B, the company itself is valued at 10.4x earnings ex-cash.
- Windows RT Launch: The release of Windows RT should be a positive driver for Nvidia going forward. In addition to the Surface win, Nvidia's solutions will be available to other OEMs looking to build Windows RT based tablets. With the rumored prices of the full Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) Atom based Windows 8 tablets coming in north of $700, consumers may be willing to sacrifice backwards compatibility for more attractively priced Windows RT models.
- Compelling Tesla Products: In addition to the low power side of things with Tegra, Nvidia's push in the high end, high performance compute segment with its "Tesla" accelerators should see a nice jolt. Nvidia is planning to roll out its K20 accelerators based on an enhanced version of its "Kepler" architecture by the end of the year. These are high margin products that leverage the sweat equity invested into the consumer and mobile graphics spaces.
In short, I plan to add to my position in the company at these levels. For a more detailed look at the long thesis, I recommend the following resources:
- "Kepler And Tegra Will Drive Strong Peformance For Nvidia This Fall" by Adam Levine-Weinberg
- "Nvidia's New Offerings: Aiming For A Slice Of Intel And AMD's Pie" by Austin Craig
- My own, "Nvidia: Put The Fork Down, It's Not Done"
For an examination of the short side of the investment, I would recommend:
- "Put A Fork In It: Nvidia's Done" by Stephen Breezy

NOVEMBER 21 2011 22:47h
Ljubo Jurcic cannot achieve a great success at the elections. He represents a threat, though. Every percentage scored by his Croatian economic initiative, in collaboration with other few parties, will be taken away from Kukuriku coalition. HDZ members wonÂ't be voting for Ljubo Jurcic, neither will the right-wing voters nor liberals, not to mention the peasants. But, as the former associate of Ivica Racan and SDPÂ's candidate for the prime-minister he can attract left-oriented voters who donÂ't trust Zoran Milanovic can drag Croatia out of the crisis. So there is nothing to be surprised about that the beginning of the election campaign was taken as the right moment for a moral re-adjustment of people who are JurcicÂ's partners in the campaign.
The one who decided to publish information, right at the beginning of the campaign, that Lazar Grujic, as the first man of the Pensioners block (who entered the elections with morally and professionally untainted Ljubo Jurcic) gained his disability status and pension in a suspicious way, could have done such thing earlier. However, the premature lashing out with the information wouldnÂ't have brought a wanted result. If that compromising information had been published before submitting the election lists, for example, Grujic could have been removed from the list and the story would have been completed at the very beginning. Jurcic would have had a chance to solve a problem; there would have been no scandals. That wonÂ't be a political bullet but a dummy bullet. This way, however, Jurcic has to hold up with this story to the very end. He has to stumble underneath this burden until the election and he has to think how many votes he would lose due to this unexpected affair. He can change nothing. Not even the letter on the list. It was only a matter of time who steps on the bomb first since the election campaign is not only a presentation of a program. In matter of fact, it is everything else but a program. Who cares about tax policy, economy measures, and strategies for the development of tourism and agronomy? The imputations, revelations, gossip - those are much more interesting things.
The election campaign is much more a special war in which the goal is to throw a doubt at respect, honesty and credibility of the opponent. Ljubo Jurcic found himself in the middle of this special war only because he endangered the position of Kukuriku coalition with his election performance. Kukuriku coalition members, if we can trust the public polls, could achieve the glorious victory that will enable them to govern undependably. Or they could gain a parliamentary majority. But this majority could be fragile if the party doesn't find enough additional partners for parliamentary support. The small list as Jurcic's list cannot cause the earth to move, but it could prejudge whether the Kukuriku victory is going to be glorious or relatively modest. If you notice a situation like this – who is the one who benefits from the published information about suspicious intrigue of Jurcic's coalition partner, then it's easy to sense that the director of this affair is hidden somewhere within the Kukuriku coalition. That, of course, doesn't mean that the story about Grujic's pension should have stayed unrevealed.
Just the opposite, it is necessary to investigate this situation. But there is a question to impose: How is it possible that this very someone, who knew about the committed criminal offence, kept the information as a secret until the elections? If Grujic hadnÂ't run for the candidature and entered the deal with Jurcic, who could ravish a few parliamentary seats from Kukuriku collation, would this unknown person still keep quiet? Would he still be watching Grujic enjoy the benefit of his illegal deeds (snatching something that didnÂ't belong to him), without reporting the information to the State Attorney? Would he still pretend to be blind in front of the lawbreaking, only because the main character doesnÂ't present a threat for him?
It is possible that no one would ever find out about GrujicÂ's alleged business if he hadnÂ't decided to run for the elections as a direct opponent and a critic of Kukuriku collation, including the Croatian Pensioner party where he had belonged once. Maybe Jurcic could end up worse than he is hoping due to the GrujicÂ's scandal, but the one who knew about this information and kept quiet about it until the moment when he could drag some benefit out of it - is pathetic in the same sense as the one he accused for a misdeed. The one and the other havenÂ't heard about the honor and fairness.

[Today: Remembering a bad, bad man…]
Izear Luster Turner, Jr was a bad man – perhaps a little too bad for his own good. In spite of having a legit claim to inventing rock & roll with his 1951 fireball 'Rocket 88', Turner is generally remembered for little other than being the abusive ex-husband of Tina Turner. In his autobiography Takin' Back My Name, Ike pleads a sort of self-defense: "Sure, I slapped Tina… there have been times when I punched her to the ground without thinking. But I never beat her." Quotes like that, along with a monumental cocaine problem, have long overshadowed a dynamic music career.
Turner roadied for blues legend Robert Nighthawk, produced Howlin' Wolf, and scouted talent for Chess Records. But his greatest discovery came in the form of Annie Mae Bullock, who changed her name to Tina, married Ike, and instantly overshadowed her husband to become the star of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. In the late-60's Ike & Tina had by far the hottest act on the so-called "Chitlin Circuit" of southern clubs. During the short breaks in their rigorous touring schedule, Ike hauled a well-seasoned version of his band – The Kings Of Rhythm – into the studio for several funk jam sessions.
Those sessions resulted in the all-instrumental 1969 gem A Black Man's Soul. It's top-shelf funk featuring tight yet meandering grooves that are heavy on wah-wah, horns and piano, yet rarely run longer than three minutes. The songs deliver the kind of loose, gritty vibe that titles like 'Philly Dog' 'Black Beauty' 'Nuttin Up' and 'Getting Nasty' so vividly promise. This is mood music for the greatest blaxploitation flick never made, and an essential purchase for fans of funk.
Ike Turner wasn't a nice guy, but neither was he the sadistic lunatic that Laurence Fishburne portrayed on the silver screen. Somewhere between those two extremes lived a talented musician and first-rate band leader who deserves to be remembered as something more than just a wife beater. If you're interested in hearing the other side of Ike Turner, A Black Man's Soul is the place to start.

The Count
As of Monday, day 4,648 of the war in Afghanistan …
2,188 American military service members (0 more than last week) have been reported killed in Afghanistan since the war began in 2001, according to The Associated Press.
16 people have now died, including 1 more Czech soldier, as a result of a blast last Tuesday carried out by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. The blast initially killed 4 Czech soldiers and severely injured 12 others.
10 people were killed in roadside bombings in Afghanistan on Sunday. The deadliest attack happened when a bomb struck a civilian car, killing 8. According to The Associated Press, a short time later another bomb struck a vehicle killing a civilian and a police officer.
88 pounds of Uranium was stolen from a lab in Iraq by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The material is not believed to be weaponized and ISIS does not have known missile delivery capability. The theft has increased fears that the group will use the material to attack Baghdad with a dirty bomb — a primitive radioactive bomb.

Thursday, September 21, Commercial Free!
"Thought-Provoking Entertainment" --- The Associated Press
(LOS ANGELES) -- Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) announced its plans to air the critically acclaimed motion picture "THE GOSPEL OF JOHN" in its entirety, with no commercial interruptions, September 21 at 7:00 pm, Pacific Standard Time.
The Gospel of John considered by many to be the best-loved of the four Gospels, comes vividly to life in this faithful and powerful film dramatization. "THE GOSPEL OF JOHN" is an accurate Biblical account of the life of Jesus Christ as told by the apostle John and narrated by the internationally acclaimed Canadian actor "Christopher Plummer," a veteran of over 80 motion pictures.
Plummer, no stranger to the genre of Biblical cinema, says he welcomed the opportunity to participate in the word-for-word version of "THE GOSPEL OF JOHN" as the film's narrator. According to Plummer, he was absolutely riveted to the story in the film. For many, it's part of their childhood, yet for the first time it seemed totally fresh and new to me, relates Plummer.
"THE GOSPEL OF JOHN" features 75 principle actors and over 2,000 extra's and hosts such notable talent as "Henry Ian Cusick" in the lead role as Jesus Christ.
Cusick. who brings a uniquely touching and human portrayal of Jesus Christ to the screen in "THE GOSPEL OF JOHN" was born in Peru, raised in Trinidad and Scotland, and now resides in England with his wife Annie and their three boys - Elias, Lucas and Esau. The film also stars Daniel Kash as Simon Peter; Stephen Russell as Pontius Pliate and Scott Handy in the role of John the Baptist.
"THE GOSPEL OF JOHN" was produced by Visual Bible International Inc. in association with Garth H. Drabinsky and Joel Michaels. The film was directed by Philip Saville and adapted for the screen by screenwriter John Goldsmith.
"THE GOSPEL OF JOHN" musical score was created by composer Jeff Danna and Nicholas Dodd, the orchestrator and conductor and features a variety of ancient musical instruments that originated more than 2,000 years ago, including the Shofar (ram's horn).
"THE GOSPEL OF JOHN" which opened on September 26, of 2003 in select theatres across the US, has been considered by "some" in pastoral circles to have been the pre-cursor to Mel Gibsons hugely successful the "Passion of the Christ" which made box office history in 2004.
