Skip to comments.Herman Cain: pizza boss, radio host, ballistics expert, minister. President?
Posted on 10/09/2011 5:21:04 AM PDT by BarnacleCenturion
He is the latest Tea Party favourite to burst through in the increasingly heated race for the Republican presidential nomination and see their poll numbers rocket them to frontrunner status.
However, unlike previous rightwing darlings such as Texas governor Rick Perry and Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann, wealthy businessman Herman Cain, 65, can claim to be cut from a very different sort of cloth from the average Republican candidate.
First, he is not actually a politician. Cain, whose CV includes being a radio show host, a navy ballistics expert, a Baptist minister and a Federal Reserve official, has never held elected office in his life. His most famous job was as chief executive of the fast-food firm Godfather's Pizza.
Yet none of that seemed to matter to the cheering crowds at the Values Voter Summit in a Washington DC hotel late last week. There was much to celebrate. A Zogby opinion poll had just boosted Cain into first place in the race, with 38% of the vote, compared with 18% for former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. Perry trailed in third place with 12%. The study even showed Cain beating President Barack Obama in a match-up by 46% to 44%.

Being that I am a port-sider, concerning handedness not politics, I am observant when it comes to this trait in others. So, I noticed the other day that Herman Cain is left handed as well. Thereby, the odds of him becoming our next president has increased dramatically as four of our last five presidents have been left handed. Good news for sure!
I've never heard of Cain being a Baptist minister. He attends a Baptist church, but I don't think he's ever been a minister.
Oh, no! I hadn't noticed that. Obama is left-handed. May have to reconsider my support.
IIRC, he's an associate pastor at his church.
Four out of five ain't bad.
Cain is great on everything. The main fly in his ointment is the scrutiny he will get for his 9-9-9 plan.
I've already posted several threads on this and I see even CONSERVATIVES showing opposition and having serious questions and reservations.
If he can truly defend it and show that it works, he will truly deserve the presidency. If not, he will be shown to be a mere idealist not worthy of consideration.
Unfortunately, the 30 second sound byte debate isn't going to do justice to his complicated tax plan. In fact, the attacks in the next debates are SURELY going to come his way instead of Perry's.
He better be prepared.
Barack B H Soretoes-Obama: community disorganizer, non-functioning senator, PRESIDENT?
Had this guy pegged way back in May. I had never used my hard earned money to go to a candidate before but did for him. It's about time we run this country like a business. I think he'll be the Repub candidate, I also said Obama would be the candidate back when Hillary was way ahead and took some heat for that!! :) I just thought that because I went into Books A Million and his books were everywhere and there were signs here in SW Mo for Obama in people's yards. Was very odd.

He's an "Associate Minister" (I believe was the term I heard), but I don't know the difference.
Given he has never held elected office, or been a general, his chances seem slim to none.
I saw people last night saying at least we know what Rick Perry stands for but what does Herman Cain stand for and I have to laugh, we all have the internet, not too hard to figure out what he stands for, he has a website! :)
Folks need to do their homework before knocking him.
I am against the 9-9-9 plan, but his site has now stated that it's to be used as a transition to the FairTax. As I understand it the idea is to incrementally cross over to the FairTax, (part national sales tax, part income tax, then only sales tax). I disagree with the 9-9-9 plan, but support Cain. He said he was trying to unite FairTaxers and Flat Taxers (it will not), and I think he got flack for it, and has now decided to move back to the FairTax (When the 9-9-9 site first came out, it had no mention of the transition to the FairTax—Phase 2—my guess is that the 9-9-9 was decried and he re-evaluated that position, or possibly he had the idea the whole time).
I still like Cain, but that doesn't mean I agree with every idea his campain (or just him, for that matter) puts forward.
born December 13, 1945 in Memphis, TN (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)
Parents were

Both parents were US Citizens at the time of his birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)
Herman Cain is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN
Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama ISN'T!
"Herman Cain: pizza boss, radio host, ballistics expert, minister. President?"
Well heck, George Washington was a farmer, surveyor, general, and brew master.
I believe 9 (could be 8, saw the list on another thread), of our Presidents never held an elected office. That's pretty substantial, and many, many Americans are tired of politics as usual.
Whether for the primaries or for the national election, should he happen to win the nomination, Cain has the least political experience of anyone on the debates stages.
We already have one novice in the Oval Office, but even he has a couple of elective political jaunts.
Running a corporation is much different than being president of the Nation.
I just don't have enough confidence that Cain can do the job to jump on his band wagon. He is too much of an unknown quantity, politically.
He got more than double the votes of Romney, and more than triple that of Perry in the Zogby poll mentioned in the article. That's pretty substantial.
Cain OR ANY of the declared are 200000 times better than the marxist slug in the white house now
Either of my dogs could be a better president than O
Apparently he is a minister.
Herman Cain: Im a Baptist preacher. A lot of people dont know that.
Im one of the Associate Ministers there because I was called to the ministry.
Neither of the elective offices that Obama held were "effective". He is 100% the result of affirmitive action and did nothing in his prior offices.
***We already have one novice in the Oval Office, but even he has a couple of elective political jaunts.***
We have an idiot in the Oval Office - who was elected simply because he had been processed three times through the Chicago sausage machine.
Here's another article stating he is a minister. Hey, it's from FR! lol
Sorry, I misread the word you used as "effective" and you actually wrote "elective", there is a hugh difference, my apologies to you.
Totally agree
On-line poll? Really? When did we start taking those seriously? On yeah, when they return the desired result.. Else, it's Zogby special sauce
Actually there have been many, I merely mentioned the one in the article. Check the sidebar for further polls.
Thank you for the link.
Several months back, when I first heard Cain I was impressed.
His idea-—9-9-9—seems reasonable, seems like the end result would take the powder away from the glib, Leland Gaunt-types pandering to envy & greed.
From his website:
"Government spending is like taking a bucket of water from the deep end of the pool, pouring it in the shallow end. Then they HOPE that the water level will CHANGE."
I like how he incorporated HOPE-CHANGE...I like too his sense of humor, although those in the media, those guardians with their superior wisdom and virtue went to Defcon-One and launched the missiles when he was comedic. Heh!
Something like Reagan..."the missiles launch in 5-minutes... or whatever it was...hilarious.
What's the difference between never having held elective office and never fulfilling the duties of the one someone is elected to. Ten minutes as Ill. state senator before being elected to the US Senate and fifteen minutes later running for POTUS, voting "present" all along the way.
And they can at least communicate (albeit in a limited form) WITHOUT a teleprompter, lol.
That's a good thing!
Running a corporation is much different than being president of the Nation
Yes, because they have to live within their means - very, very different than our federal government.
He is too much of an unknown quantity, politically.
What do you want to know? His positions are stated at his website.
I'll take five out of five to be saved from having to vote for a two faced "moderate" again.
As one of the net tax payers, I agree. If the Federal government were shrunk down to the level of it's Constitutional Authority, the funds (and therefore taxation) required to run it would be so tiny and insignificant, that the source wouldn't be quibbled over. But the income tax wasn't really instituted to fund the government, so much as to surpress the economy (and thus influence) of the middle class over time, making us all to be eventually wards of the state (the entire aim of Progressives), serfs in poverty.
I said the source wouldn't be quibbled over. To correct myself, it probably still would be, but it wouldn't be as pressing an issue, and most everyone would prosper more than they are now anyway. The greatest fleecing in all of mankind (economically), is the U.S. income tax and paycheck witholding. Trillions upon trillions stolen before it was ever even seen.
I think you have to have a sense of humor to be a good leader - i.e. your reference to Reagan. First you have to get people's attention, then you have to have the substance behind it to accomplish your goals. Herman Cain has both, he's proven it his entire life, VP of Pillsbury at 34?
Reagan's trickle down philosophy wasn't immediately effective, apparently he was encouraged several times to give it up but he stuck by it - he was tenacious and that's an excellent quality for a President.
For a moment there, I thought you were referring to Rico "don't like their last name" Perry. I mean, I know we're "heartless" and all...
That's one of Cain's biggest advantages. People are fed up with politicians.
Are you seriously citing a Zogby poll as any kind of authority? Seriously?
"Capitol Hill (CNSNews.com) - Following an Election Day prediction that Democratic candidate John Kerry would win more than 300 electoral votes and the presidency, one of America's most well known polling firms continued the job Wednesday of explaining its flawed projection.
Shawnta Watson Walcott, communications director for Zogby International, joined a group of liberal Democrats at a faux congressional hearing focused on whether fraud influenced the Nov. 2 (2004) outcome.
"... it has become increasingly clear that this election has produced unprecedented levels of suspicion regarding its outcome, and we join this panel discussion in an attempt to find a resolution to these issues," said Walcott, who represented the firm's president and long time political pollster John Zogby at the forum sponsored by Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee.
On Election Day, Zogby predicted that Kerry would win 311 electoral votes. For much of that afternoon, he also rated the state of Virginia as too close to call. Not only did President Bush end up winning Virginia by 9 percentage points over Kerry, he won 286 electoral votes, over 3.3 million popular vote more than Kerry and, of course, re-election.
But with a Rayburn House Office Building meeting room as the backdrop, Judiciary Committee Democrats, liberal special interest groups and individuals like Rainbow PUSH Coalition founder Jesse Jackson Wednesday alleged that the election had been marred by fraud and malfunctioning voting machines.
Walcott told the group assembled that Zogby International had questions of its own pertaining to the election. -- Zogby Polling Seeks Damage Control After Election Day Flub
Anybody can say anything until they are confronted with the actual decision that counts. Just like a lot of people think it would be easy to run a business until they actually have to do it. He would be surrounded with "experts" to help him make those decisions just like "The Won" and they would be leading him around by the nose in no time at all.....just as they are doing with Obama.
You beat me to it.
That anyone could question Cain's readiness with the implicit support of an obvious doofus already occupying the White House is laughable.
And of those polls, the only recent one done with any kind of statistical validity was the CBSNews poll, which showed Cain tied with Mittens 17%-17%.
By the way, do you Cain supporters share your man's zeal and admiration for Mitt Romney?
I'd like to see a list of major candidates (Democrat or Republican) who never held an elected office, and then made it to the general election and lost to someone who had held an elected office (not lost to someone else who held never held one either). We know that 8 or 9 (I believe it was 9) who never held elected office WON the Presidency, so I'm interested in how many made it to the big vote but didn't make it, if any even exist. I'm betting it's none. Which would mean that whether or not someone has held elected office has never been a factor in a General election. But I hope to see the numbers either way.

Toast of the Nation New York - The Crew
December 31, 2007. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: afternoon jazz, audio engineering society, audio transmission, blue smoke, carvell, clubs in new york, drum sounds, gmc truck, golden ears, jazz clubs in new york, jazz records, jim anderson, light bulbs, member of the crew, michael bourne, new york university, recording engineer, sartorial splendor, toast of the nation, Toast of the Nation 2007/2008, wbgo
Since you may miss the litany of names at the end of the New York segment, meet the folks who bring you 2008. Remember that while you're binging on champagne, we usually drink ours at 12:15, when the show is over.
Becca Pulliam is our uber-producer. She coordinates each of the locations for Toast of The Nation (DC, Boston, NY, Minneapolis, Denver, and SF) into a mosaic of live music from coast to coast. Becca makes this whole party possible. Oh, and "listeners like you."
Michael Bourne is our host. You may remember him from such hit shows as - Afternoon Jazz on WBGO for the last 20+ years. Or 20+ years on Toast of the Nation. That's committment. Everything I can say about Michael, I've already said to him personally - usually while I'm helping him connect home audio devices, changing light bulbs in his apartment, or eating Cantonese specialties with him (too infrequently) at Phoenix Garden.
Steve Remote at Aurasonic is our guy for audio. He brings his 24 foot GMC truck, affectionately know as "The Breadmobile," to the gig. As you can imagine, jazz clubs in New York are short on space. That means you have to build a recording studio outside, and connect it to what's happening onstage. No small feat. Steve Remote and his band of merrymen do it with aplomb. Robert Carvell manages stage tech, and Jon D'Uva will assist the recording engineer in the truck. Jon is a vegetarian. I have no idea what he's planning to eat for dinner at the barbeque palace upstairs, Blue Smoke.
Jim Anderson is the Recording Engineer tonight. He possesses both sartorial splendor and golden ears. He will make tonight sound so good for listeners. In Jim's spare time, he's active in the New York chapter of the Audio Engineering Society. He's also the Chair of the Clive Davis School for Recorded Music at New York University. He gets some of the best drum sounds I've heard on jazz records. He also reads great books.
David Tallacksen is the Technical Director and Codec Jockey. He's the youngest member of the crew. He is responsible for the audio transmission via codec to NPR, among other things. We don't trust that job to just anyone. David also shows a tremendous amount of patience with Verizon, who installs our ISDN circuits to transmit that audio. David has tested these lines over and over and over. Two of the three circuits work, as of 12:30pm on the broadcast day. Verizon has assured us they will fix the problem with our backup transmission lines today. Fingers crossed.
Katie Simon is our Stage Manager. She makes sure the trains run on time, because I'm barking in her ear the entire show. Katie can blame her first job in public radio on WBGO. Now she's hooked. She's a producer for Storycorps, producer David Isay's oral history project for public radio. You may have heard the stories on Morning Edition every Friday. Guaranteed to make you a little teary-eyed., if you're just a wee sensitive. Michael Bourne nicknamed Katie "Supergirl" because she's just...super.
Martin Goodman is operating the house sound for Jazz Standard. He will be making sure that the artists have their sound on the stage and in the club. Martin also interfaces with our broadcast in a big way, because we share all the same microphones used on the stage.
I'm your humble field producer and director for the show. You can blame me if something goes wrong.

County Funds: Surplus must be expected
Hold the applause, please.
The 2012 fund balance for Chautauqua County, which indicated a surplus of $5.8 million, is not an outcome to be cheered. It is something residents and taxpayers must begin to expect.
"Each and every time we determined a better, more efficient or more effective way to deliver this work, we have made the necessary changes to capitalize on these improvements," County Executive Greg Edwards said last week.
County government is anything but "efficient" at this time. With more than 1,300 employees and welfare-to-work numbers below the state average, our government is traditionally slow and ineffective in responding to the quick-changing ways of society.
This results in red ink for our governments, something far too many Americans and local residents seem to tolerate. It begins when constituents hear their leaders' tales of doom and gloom.
Ultimately, they begin to accept that operations will show a loss, especially when many consider the Chautauqua County Home and federal government. School districts, those with less than 600 in enrollment, are also close to reaching a tipping point when it comes to running out of money.
But just because governments and many of the local organizations that do so much good for so many who need the assistance are non-profits, it does not mean those agencies are supposed to lose money. Budgets are made to be balanced.
Those agencies – and governments – that show a negative fund balance cannot continue down this path in an era of tight budgets. If finances cannot be brought in line, dissolution or mergers need to be considered by these boards.
Anything else is not fair to the stakeholders – the residents who are counted on for their donations and expected to pay their taxes on time or face a penalty.
There are, however, no penalties for governments and agencies which cannot maintain their bottom line and spend even though the cash well is dry.
That must change.

Topic: SOLVED translation missing error despite locale yml file
I got an error message when submitting a form after validating for missing values:
"translation missing: fr, activerecord, errors, template, body"
I updated my default fr.yml file by doing a copy paste from:
https://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n … ils/locale
After doing this I had a lot of syntax errors in my fr.yml file. I had to remove all the tab characters and replaced them automatically by spaces.
I still got the same translation missing error and I don't know what else to do.
All I know is that I have a tremendous trouble updating my fr.yml file because whenever I try to update something it gets systematically rejected with a syntax error, and I always managed so far to tweak the issue by playing around and retyping again and again some parts of the file. I would want a more consistent way to edit and update this file with no syntax errors.

Many people enjoy feline companions because they typically require less attention and care compared to canines or other pets. Cats often seem to have their own "agenda" in their day to day lives, though many still love to cuddle and play with their owners. While some cat owners like to keep their feline inside all the time, others choose to let their cat roam the outside world. Both types of lifestyle can be healthy for felines, provided their owners think carefully about which situation will work best. If you're trying to decide between raising an indoor or outdoor cat, here are some things to consider.
Where do you live?
Where you live will likely be the biggest factor in your decision between indoor and outdoor. While cats have proven able to survive well in a wide variety of environments, there are certain dangers that owners must keep in mind. Urban settings can be perilous for felines, as constant traffic can increase their risk of being injured by a car. On the other hand, rural settings have their own dangers - wild animals often prey on cats. Suburban neighborhoods are typically well-suited for outdoor felines, but you should always perform a preliminary check of your neighborhood to see if it feels safe for free-roaming felines. You'll also want to make sure your cat is microchipped and has identification on his collar, should he get lost or be mistaken for a stray.
What is your cat's behavior like?
Your feline's behavior will also be something to consider when making this choice. Timid cats may be more comfortable living indoors, while cats who are adventurous and energetic often feel the need to stretch their paws in the great outdoors. Remember, if you haven't seen your vet for the purpose of neutering or spaying a cat, then your cat may face problems while outside. Cats in heat are likely to attract other felines.
What to know about indoor cats
If you choose the indoor route, you will likely need to give your cat a bit more attention to keep him entertained and happy. Cat toys not only help stimulate your feline, but will also keep him physically fit, as inactivity can lead to feline obesity. You'll also likely need to empty out your cat's litter box more often, as indoor cats will not have the opportunity to eliminate outside. As a general rule, you should clean out your cat's litter box daily, and change out all the litter at least once a week.
What to know about outdoor cats
Outdoor cats may have a greater sense of independence and get their exercise mostly on their own, but they are also at a greater risk for certain health issues. Outdoor felines are more likely to contract infectious diseases and are prone to parasites in cats. You should also be sure you're well versed in first aid for cats should your feline experience an emergency and need medical attention before you get him to a vet hospital.

From the U. S. State Department:
The Department of State warns U.S. citizens against all but essential travel to Iraq given the security situation. Travel within Iraq remains dangerous. This Travel Warning replaces the Travel Warning dated January 19, 2012, to update information on security incidents and to remind U.S. citizens of ongoing security concerns for U.S. citizens in Iraq, including kidnapping and terrorist violence. The United States completed its withdrawal of military forces from Iraq as of December 31, 2011. The ability of the Embassy to respond to situations where U.S. citizens face difficulty, including arrests, is extremely limited.

it sounds like that could have a lot of applications.
I must admit that when I hear "agave," I just think of a great tequila.
It has a fairly neutral flavor, except that it adds a certain brightness to the dough, almost floral (as one would expect from a nectar). It's like corn syrup that's been prancing through the meadow. I am using it in an Ultragrain dough today.- red.november
The most important of which was raw agave nectar.

Disposability is Dead
Musings on reducing single-use disposability and waste in the endurance community
Photo by BigStockPhoto
There was no escaping the oppressive sizzle of Baja heat at midday. Equally unavoidable was the metric ton of trash strewn across the road in every direction. Plastic cups clink-clunked across the carretera while discarded, single-use water baggies flapped on the ground like feathered asphalt. Every passing runner trampled the trash as if unconsciously trying to hide the mess, to send it downward, out of sight, back to their earthly origins. But the plastic remained. It remained, defying decomposition, those petroleum-based, factory-farmed freckles. It remained.
Then there was me—Enabler, Violator, Hypocrite—handing out the disposable cups and water bags to runners by the thousands. All day long.
This happened back in March, when I was asked to work at the inaugural 2013 Ironman Los Cabos. Living in Baja Sur, Mexico at a nearby artist village, I found the invitation intriguing because it presented an unfamiliar flavor of endurance. As a trail runner, I carry baggage with me by way of mountain prejudice—a strong preference for peaks and trails and dirt; a penchant for glacial runoff so cold it makes fingers and toes ache with feral vitality. I find less inspiration in stiff saddles, gym memberships and sweating pavement.
But what I discovered surprised me.
Excavated from this exploratory dig was a robust community and a humbled response to the participants' efforts. My friend and I managed the final aid station of the marathon. You know, that section following 2.4 miles of open-ocean swimming and 112 miles of cycling. No big deal. Add habanero-grade heat and you've got mercury tickling triple digits with Sun's unflinching stare. For over 10 hours, we handed over 1000 runners Pepsi in cups, pretzels in cups and candy in, yes, cups. Then, there were the single-shot bags of water: rip the tip off with your teeth and down the hatch goes a single gulp of water. Toss and repeat.
By the end of the day, the accumulated waste fomented nausea. In hot pursuit of their goals, each athlete seemed to be putting the planet on the backburner. En masse, they were allowed to drink and chuck, use and abuse, discard and depart. I left the event championing their physical feats but pained by the negligence of disposability tolerated by the Ironman. So, naturally, I turned inward, auditing my own habits of running and racing, and asked:
Why do we, members of the endurance community, still subscribe to a culture of single-use disposability? Why during training and racing do we continue to support products that are (duh) choking landfills? Why must our personal goals eclipse environmental responsibility? Do they have to?
I say no. And others are, too. People are waking up. People are choosing to race and explore closer to home. People are mixing their own gel concoctions in reusable flasks. BPA-free handheld bottles are reused for years before replacing, then recycled. I see more running commuters than ever before.
This is consciousness rising.

Nvidia Corp. is just in time with inexpensive professional graphics solutions amid economic downturn and widespread intention of businesses to cut expenses, but still be able to use the latest technology.
In a bid to seriously expand the market of professional graphics solutions and boost its market share in that segment, Nvidia has unveiled two graphics adapters that were traditionally not available for professionals. Thanks to Nvidia Quadro-optimized drivers and software, a low-end graphics card as well as an integrated graphics core gained advantages that were previously available only with graphics cards that are sold for $500 and upwards.
"In today's competitive global marketplace, engineers, traders, designers and power office users demand more functionality and reliability from their desktop computing solutions. The Quadro FX 470 and the Quadro FX 370 LP are precisely tested, certified and designed to maximize productivity and deliver the cost-effective, professional-quality solution these users require on a daily basis," said Jeff Brown, general manager for professional services at Nvidia.
Nvidia Quadro FX 470 is the world's first integrated professional graphics platform solution that features Nvidia GeForce 9300/9400-class integrated graphics core with 16 stream processor units. The first ever Quadro chipset supports Intel Core 2 and other processors in LGA775 form-factor with up to 1333MHz processor system bus as well as dual-channel DDR3 memory.
Nvidia Quadro FX 370 LP is a very simplistic DirectX 10-class graphics processor with only 8 stream processors and 256MB of memory onboard. The solution will be available as a low-profile graphics card for small form-factor systems aimed at professionals.
Integrated graphics cores and low-end graphics processing units (GPUs) have never been a part of professional graphics solutions market mostly because many professional digital content creation (DCC) and computer aided design (CAD) applications require rather serious graphics chip horsepower in addition to software optimizations. It remains to be seen whether the novelties will be faster compared to consumer-oriented graphics hardware in CAD and DCC apps.
Many customers will still prefer to have professional-grade graphics solutions over consumer-oriented hardware, hence, the new products may become rather successful, which is exactly whan Nvidia needs during economic crisis.

The sample boxes of Adagio oolong have arrived! They are:
oolong #8
oolong #18
ti kuan yin
peach oolong
almond oolong
I have six samples of blacks as well, but I'll save that for another thread.
I crave advice, o expert Oolongonians! Keeping in mind that I like my black teas strong, with a splash of milk and sugar, enjoy iced tea, and have a sweet tooth, what would you suggest? I have no idea where to begin with this.
I think my smallest brewing vessel is a glass Bodum press, but I also have a couple ceramic/porcelain pots. All are about about 1-2 cups in size. I have great-tasting well water--no chlorination--but it's hard water.

Great Live Moments - Abbey Lincoln
April 8, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: aaron walker, abbey lincoln, anna marie, bassist, carmen, diva, drummer, gaby, Iridium, Jazz Alive, lincoln, Listening Post, Live Music, marc cary, max roach, moseka, pianist, poet laureate, professional names, proof, singers, vulnerabilities, wbgo
Abbey Lincoln is proof that a rose by any other name smells as sweet. The reigning diva of jazz has had more than a few names over the years. She was born Anna Marie Wooldridge. Her earliest professional names include Gaby Wooldridge and Gaby Lee. For eight years, she was legally Mrs. Max Roach. The cultural minister of Zaire bestowed the name Aminata Moseka.
Abbey Lincoln has certainly earned the right of the great singers in our music, those who need only one name. Billie. Sarah. Ella. Carmen. Betty. Abbey.
For decades, Ms. Lincoln has also been the poet laureate of jazz. Her songs have expressed the essential components of a life unfolding, the sum of our strengths and vulnerabilities. That which makes us human. What's right and what's wrong with us. What we have done. What we can do better.
WBGO recorded Abbey Lincoln at Iridium in New York, October 1996. Marc Cary is the pianist, Michael Bowie the bassist, Aaron Walker the drummer.
Listen to Abbey Lincoln sing "Bird Alone," from the WBGO Archives.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: CA$7.25 (30% off)
great product, gets me lots of compliments
Posted by Reviewer2381151 on Apr 12, 2009
I have been using Herbatint to color my hair for many years. It is gentle and I think it actually improves the texture of my curly hair. I mix 4R and 7M in equal proportions - the browner shade gives a base for the red tones to hold on to (red tones alone tend to look either purple or orange, and wash out quickly). This mix also hides the gray hairs well. I get compliments all the time on my hair color - men think its natural and women want to know where I get it done. I ordered this product from iHerb many times - it always comes quickly and it the lowest price around. Thanks! Tina
Have been using these wonderful products for years
Posted by Reviewer1991304 on Jul 28, 2009
I use the haircolor products because they do not damage my hair and have no ammonia or other obnoxious smell. I have short dark brown hair with lots of grey and white, so I mix this with equal amount of 4N - chestnut. Need the chestnut to penetrate the grey and white because the copper chestnut alone will eventually turn the grey/white hairs pink. Also use the conditioner and shampoo. Because my hair is short I use 3 caps of each color and then 6 caps of the developer, so I get 2 to 3 colorings per box. Love these products and highly recommend them.

Top 15 Holiday Toys of 2012
From dolls that look like members of a famous boy band to furry interactive "pets" that speak a "foreign" language, Toys"R"Us has compiled a list of the most in-demand toys of the 2012 holiday shopping season.
Some of last year's bestselling toys are hot again this year. Christmas will just not be the same without Lalaloopsy Silly Hair dolls, LeapPad Explorer tablets and LEGO Ninjago sets.
If money is a concern this year, consider the 1D Collector Doll from Hasbro, which retails at $19.99 each -- the cheapest item on the list. The average price of the toys on the list is $76, but that excludes the Wii U from Nintendo, which will not be available until November 18.
Some items on the list that have yet to hit the shelves may be available for pre-order. Beginning today until October 31, shoppers may also take advantage of the new Hot Toy Reservation program from Toys"R"Us.
Here is the full list of the best new toys of the 2012 holiday season (listed in alphabetical order).
1D Collector Dolls (Hasbro)
One Direction is a British-Irish boy band consisting of Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. The members of the worldwide musical sensation have now been immortalized in these fashion dolls.
Toys "R" Us recommends these to kids ages 8 to 11, but fans of all ages have been going crazy for the entire collection.
Each doll is sold separately at $19.99, so prepare to shell out about a $100, if you want all five. As collector dolls, Zayan, Niall, Harry, Louis and Liam don't sing and dance, so no batteries are required.
Doc McStuffins 'Time For Your Check Up' doll (Just Play)
Doc McStuffins is an animated television series on Disney Channel and Disney Junior. It's about a six-year-old girl, Dottie "Doc" McStuffins, who can "fix" toys, with a little help from her stuffed animal friends. Every time the show ends, Doc gives advice to viewers about staying healthy.
This dolled-up version of Doc comes with a "co-pay" of $39.99. Kids can sing along to the "check up" song and converse with Doc, who can can bring her stuffed friend Lambie (included in the price) to life with the touch of her stethoscope.
Gelarti Designer Studio (Moose Toys)
This is the perfect gift for a child who loves all things crafty -- and enjoys turning walls and windows into instant works of art. Using paint pens and other tools included in the kit, the little one can design and accessorize a bunch of peel-off stickers.

To report suspected abuse or neglect of a child, please call the Abuse and Neglect Hotline at 720-887-2271.
Child Welfare Assessments:
When a report alleging concerns about children's safety and well-being is received, county child protection staff conducts an assessment to determine the child or children's safety and whether or not the family is in need of services. If the safety of the children in the home cannot be determined, the county agency sees the child immediately. Otherwise, the agency prioritizes the response time based on the risk to the children.
The caseworker visits the home and completes a thorough assessment and takes appropriate action. For instance, in most assessments the child is not in danger of immediate serious harm. In these instances, the assessment focuses primarily on assessing family needs, helping the family problem solve around immediate concerns, and arranging for services.
In some cases safety concerns are paramount and the caseworker and family work together to develop a plan to protect the child. The caseworker attempts to assure the safety of the child during the assessment, either through keeping the child at home with certain safeguards or through a temporary placement with relatives or foster care. The county department may request court oversight if indicated.
Frequently Asked Questions

It was the sort of game when a coach is looking for his top guys to come through in the clutch. And Hamline mens BB coach Nelson Whitmore got his wish big time. Mike Campbell scored 18 points and added five rebounds and four steals as the Pipers gained a crucial road victory, 83-77, at Augsburg Monday night. Hamline has won five of its last six games to improve to 8-4 in the MIAC (10-7 overall). They are in fourth place but a mere half-game behind the Auggies and Gustavus.
Campbell, the team's leading scorer, was perfect from the Free Throw line, going 10-for-10. He got help from Tyler Pannell, who chipped in with 13 points. As has been the case in this streak, the Piper bench came through with key contributions. Al Tillman had 14 points while Brandon Rieg added 11. Victor Easter came up with five rebounds.
HU took control of the game early. Pannell hit a three-pointer for Hamline's first points of the night for a 3-2 lead. They never trailed again. HU stretched the lead to 13 in the first half before a late Auggie rally cut the margin to 35-31 at intermission. In the second half, Hamline came out of the locker room running and gunning, taking a 15-point lead with 10 minutes left. But the Auggie began to rally and it was suddenly 74-71 with 1:15 left. Dior Ford then nailed a dunk and Campbell converted a pair of free throws to make it 78-74 and Hamline had enough points to secure the key road win.
The Pipers shot 51.7 percent in the second half and finished the night with a 48.3 percentage. In addition, they forced the Auggies into 21 turnovers, recording 13 steals.
Hamline finishes a tough stretch of five games in 10 days Wednesday night when they visit league leader St. Thomas (9-2). Game time there is 7:30 p.m.

Estimated grade. Ex. Higgy; Elser (1949) Sold by David Akers Numismatics Oct '97 Price realized $1980
Doug Winter: The following information is from my eBook on Type One Liberty Head Double Eagles at http://doubleeaglebook.com/
The 1850 double eagle is a very popular issue as it is the first collectible issue from this mint. It is reasonably available in lower grades (Very Fine and Extremely Fine) but it becomes harder to locate in the middle About Uncirculated range and it is scarce in properly graded AU58. This issue is very scarce and popular in Uncirculated and it is rare in MS62, very rare in MS63 and exceedingly rare above this.
STRIKE: New dies and extra care were employed to produce this issue, and as a result the 1850 is among the best-struck Type One double eagles. The obverse is usually seen with nearly full detail on the hair of Liberty, full radial lines in the stars, and sharply defined denticles. The reverse is also seen with a sharp strike and detail on the feathers, and at the border is often full or nearly so. The collector should be able to locate a coin with very good detail with little effort.
SURFACES: Many 1850 double eagles show fairly extensive abrasions on the surfaces. However, there are a fair number known with minimally abraded fields. I have seen some examples with raised die polishing marks in the fields. These are mint-made and should not be confused with hairlines, which are the result of cleaning. A clean, wholesome 1850 double eagle can be found with just a bit of patience.
LUSTER: This issue is seen with at least two distinct types of luster. The more common appearance is frosty with a slightly grainy texture. There are also pieces with semi-prooflike to nearly fully prooflike reflectiveness. These can be visually impressive but they are often heavily bagmarked and have poor eye appeal as a result. It is likely that these are the first struck from their die pair and these are numismatically significant as a result.
COLORATION: The natural coloration ranges from a rich green-gold hue to medium orange-gold. There are still a decent number of 1850 double eagles with natural color, but these are becoming harder to locate.
EYE APPEAL: The eye appeal for 1850 double eagles is generally above average by the standards of this series. This is due to the fact that many higher grade examples are very well struck, have good luster, and can show pleasing natural color(s). This is actually among the easier Type One issues to locate with really good eye appeal, and the patient collector should be able to locate a very pleasing 1850 in a variety of grade and price ranges.
INTERESTING VARIETIES: Varieties are known with a Closed 5 (where the knob of this digit touches the cusp), and an Open 5 (where the knob of this digit is free from the cusp). These are not generally collected and don't command any price premium.
PROOFS: A very small number were struck but I have never personally seen one. I have been told by a knowledgeable American dealer that there is a Proof 1850 double eagle that he has seen in Paris and it is an unquestionable Proof. It is believed that at least one was struck for Engraver James B. Longacre, and that another may have been made for the Congressional Committee on the Library. A genuine Proof would be one of the most significant issues of this design.
HOARDS: There were a total of 53 in the S.S. Republic including two in Uncirculated. 26 were recovered from the S.S. Central America, all in circulated grades. 92 were found in the so-called "Baltimore Hoard." Around ten years ago, I viewed (and then later sent to PCGS and NGC) a collector's accumulation of 1850 double eagles ranging from VF to MS-61 which number over three dozen pieces.
BUYING TIPS: This historically significant date is very popular and it has collector appeal outside of the specialist community. Date collectors tend to look either for a nice mid-range AU or they splurge for an impressive Uncirculated example. Be patient and wait for a clean, well struck piece with nice color; these coins are still available and they do not command a huge price premium over a "typical" 1850.
AUCTION RECORD: The current auction record for this date was set in the 2007 FUN sale when Heritage 1/07: 3698, graded MS65 by NGC, realized $161,000. This smashed the previous record of $62,100, which was set by Bass III: 757 (Bowers and Merena 10/99), graded MS64 by PCGS.
FINEST KNOWN: There are some really outstanding 1850 double eagles known. The best that I have personally seen is an NGC MS65 which was last sold as Lot 3698 in the Heritage 1/07 sale (it realized $161,000). It is earlier ex Bowers and Merena 5/00 (Bass III): 757 ($62,100; as PCGS MS64) and it was obtained by Bass in the New Netherlands April 1972 auction. NGC shows a second coin graded MS65 in their population report but I am inclined to think it is the same piece.
Very Fine: 750-1000
Extremely Fine: 1150-1500
About Uncirculated: 600-900
Uncirculated: 50-100
POPULATION FIGURES: As of the beginning of 2015, PCGS had graded 37 in MS62, two in MS62+, seven in MS63, and one in MS64 for a total of 77 in Uncirculated. NGC had graded 10 in MS63, one in MS64, one in MS64PL, and two in MS65 for a total of 78 in Uncirculated. These figures are much inflated by resubmissions, especially in the MS60 to MS62 range. CAC has approved five in MS61 and four in MS62, for a total of nine in Uncirculated.
PERFORMANCE SINCE 2002: Few common dates of this type have shown the price performance of the 1850 and this is attributable to its level of demand outside of specialists and date collectors. When the first edition of this book was written in 2002, a nice AU example could be purchased in the $2,500-3,500 range. Today, a nice AU costs at least $5,000-8,000.
COMMENTS: The 1850 remains one of my favorite Type One double eagles. It is a numismatically significant issue which is well made and available in relatively high grades. A few choice examples have surfaced since the first edition of this book (2002), and these are among the most attractive Liberty Head double eagles of this type.
David Akers (1975/88): The 1850 is the first regularly issued Double Eagle. It is essentially identical in design to the pattern 1849 although the relief of the head, particularly Liberty's cheek, is slightly lower. Because of its first year status, the 1850 often brings rather higher prices than some other dates of this type that are actually more rare. In reality, the 1850 is one of the most common Type I Double Eagles and mint state examples, although quite rare, are seen more often than many overzealous cataloguers would lead one to believe. Nevertheless, VF and EF are by far the most often available grades. I have seen a fair number of choice and gem quality specimens and have seen several that I would call "superb." Most known 1850 Double Eagles are semi-prooflike but fully frosty and fully prooflike examples are also encountered.
US Gold from a prominent midwestern family collection - Goldbergs 6/2016:1639, $170,375
New Netherlands 4/1972:967 - Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection - Bowers & Merena 5/2000:757, $62,100
Heritage 1/2007:3698, $161,000

Vegan Brussel Carrot Curry Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting and Maple Curry Reduction
- Cupcakes:
- 2 1/3 cups organic, unbleached white flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups grated brussels sprouts
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup agave nectar or maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 1 1/2 cups organic vegetable shortening
- 1/2 cup vegan cream cheese, such as Tofutti
- 1/4 cup vegan margarine
- 5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- A splash of soy milk
- Maple Curry Reduction:
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a standard-size cupcake pan with 10 cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, curry powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Fold in the brussels sprouts and carrots until they are fully coated in the flour. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cane sugar, orange juice, canola oil, 1/4 cup water, agave nectar and vanilla extract. Add these ingredients to your dry mixture and combine until everything is evenly moist.
Fill the liners three-quarters full and bake until golden and baked through, about 15 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely.
For the frosting: In a stand mixer, cream together the shortening, cream cheese and margarine with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and soy milk until blended together and fluffy.
For the maple curry reduction: In a small saucepan, heat the maple syrup on high until thickened, about 8 minutes. Add in the curry powder and whisk to incorporate. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before using.
To assemble: Generously frost your cupcakes with the cream cheese frosting and drizzle the tops with the maple curry reduction.

The impressive figure was revealed by the BBFC, which has given the game its expected 18-rating certificate for "strong bloody violence".
Dragon Age 2's 103 minutes of cutscenes eclipses Killzone 3's 70 minutes worth, revealed by the BBFC earlier this month.
Dragon Age 2 was cleared for release with no cuts made.
Its age rating comes as no surprise. Dragon Age was a particularly gory role-player. After combat blood would remain on armour and clothing – which made for some hilarious cutscenes.
With Dragon Age 2, developer BioWare's love of blood continues. Christian Donlan went hands-on for Eurogamer in November.

This morning's "Morning Edition" had a segment on writer Elizabeth McCracken and her new book about her first child who died in utero. It is the kind of story that will make pro-choice advocates re-think their position and is a perfect example of how we in the pro-life community can change the culture to better reflect the reality of pre-natal human life.

Oooh, Baby! Orgasms May Help You Conceive
By Bryn Hollis, [X]Press Magazine September 27, 2005
Kelly Abbott and her husband have been trying for eight months to get pregnant. Her doctor tells her to get the timing right, to know when she is going to ovulate so they can plan to have sex in advance. Her mother tells her to eat better, exercise regularly and get more sleep. And her best friend tells her to "guide the sperm" by trying different positions in bed. But maybe all Abbott really needs to do is get off.
While some experts believe there is logic to the theory that a woman's orgasm might improve her chances of getting pregnant, studies have yet to prove any connection between the two. But many people believe they are directly related, in more ways than one.
Jennifer Reynolds is one of them. The 27-year-old is four months pregnant and believes her orgasms helped in the conception of her baby. "I'd like to think that when a child is conceived, it's during passionate lovemaking," she says. "I suppose it also [has to do with] how deep penetration is, and when you climax during intercourse, I imagine penetration would be at its deepest, giving the sperm some leeway."
British biologists Robin Baker and Mark Bellis agree with Reynolds. Their research, conducted in Europe in the 1990s, supports the theory that female orgasms have an "upsuck" action that retains sperm and offers a better chance of getting pregnant.
The biologists and their team tested this hypothesis when they asked volunteers to first keep track of the timing of their orgasms during sex, and then collect vaginal flowback, which refers to fluid that emerges from the vagina several hours after sex.
The study of more than 300 samples gives Baker and Bellis' theory some credibility. They discovered when a woman climaxes any time between a minute before to 45 minutes after her male partner ejaculates, she retains significantly more sperm than she does after sex without an orgasm. According to Baker and Bellis, these results show that muscular contractions associated with orgasm pull sperm from the vagina to the cervix, where it's more likely to reach an egg. SF State Human Sexuality Professor Ivy Chen has her own theory. If a woman stands up and leaves immediately after insemination, she says, the semen will "dribble out." "But if the sex is spectacular enough to produce an orgasm, it is more likely the woman will feel relaxed and sleepy," she says. "Most importantly, she will remain in a horizontal sleeping position, increasing the retention of the semen, thereby increasing the chance of conception."
The late Harvard evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould disagreed. He believed the female orgasm is caused by an "anatomical peculiarity of embryonic development." In other words, the organ that becomes the penis in males becomes the clitoris in females. While it may help women mimic male orgasm, Gould suggested, the clitoris has about as much functional relevance as the male nipple.
According to Chen, however, the female orgasm does one thing the male nipple does not: it causes strong emotions. She believes when a woman has an orgasm, the level of intimacy with her partner increases and strengthens the bond between them. Whether it has a scientific purpose or not, the biological relevance of the female orgasm remains a mystery.
Abbott says she takes every bit of advice about getting pregnant with a grain of salt. "I don't think it takes a woman having an orgasm to conceive," she says. "If it did, the population would've died out a long time ago."

About TRANSIT:
TRANSIT is the fresh face of new music. For too long, musicians have been isolated from each other into narrow categories that have diminishing relevance to a digital society in a quickly globalizing world. Taking their cues from the slapdash diversity of the city around them, the artists of TRANSIT seek to create bridges between and among the various schools and styles of music being written and performed today, while embracing innovative projects that are relevant to contemporary culture. Their goal is not to achieve an international style or to promote a particular "sound." Rather, they champion experimental music from a wide range of influences with the conviction that the music of today is inherently meaningful to audiences and vital to social progress. Paired with superior artistry, shrewd programming, and radically open ears, this determination keeps TRANSIT firmly rooted at the cutting edge of new music.
TRANSIT was founded by an idealistic bunch of like-minded musicians at the Bang on a Can Summer Institute. Since 2007, the TRANSIT collective has commissioned composers from around the world, and premiered new works in affordable concerts in New York City. In addition to the DoubleBill Series, TRANSIT pursues other projects focusing on new and experimental music, most recently including a three-part event at Galapagos Art Space featuring So Percussion and Tristan Perich, a large-scale multimedia project with Daniel Wohl, and a sound installation residency at Diapason Gallery. TRANSIT has performed in established new music series and venues (MATA Interval Series, Darmstadt at Issue Project Room, Detour at Le Poisson Rouge, CUNY Grad Center residency) as well as in events that bring new music to diverse audiences (March is Music at Pregones Theater in the Bronx, Astoria Music Society Series, ImagineScience Film Festival). Its individual members have performed in the US and abroad with preeminent groups including the Bang on a Can All-Stars, the NOW Ensemble, newspeak (the Harry Partch Ensemble), Orchestra of St. Luke's, American Composers Orchestra, Anti-Social Music, Aspen Contemporary Ensemble, NJ Percussion Ensemble, and Sequitur, among others.<

Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Golden jackals play an important scavanging role by eating garbage and animal carrion around towns and villages. They benefit agriculture by preventing increases in the number of rodents and lagomorphs. They are sometimes hunted for their fur. Golden jackals that are hand-raised can be tamed and kept in houses. They become housebroken and behave much like a domesticated dog, except that they remain shy around strange people and will not allow themselves to be petted by them.

Golden Gate Seminary continuously seeks information on creative graduate financial aid resources for students such as those offered through foundations, educational commissions, private trusts, community organizations and more. These sources are often highly beneficial to non-Southern Baptist students who are not able to take advantage of SBC-specific scholarships. Hundreds of scholarship resources exist out there but students must commit to the hard work of research, calling/writing and application processes. Hopefully, some of the resources listed here will offer a head start your search for tuition dollars. Many professional or corporate organizations specialize in scholarship searches. These organizations also offer great tips and services to the average student seeking financial help. You may also want to begin by checking out commercial sources at sites such as FindTuition.com.

Food Habits
Red foxes are essentially omnivores. They mostly eat Rodentia, Sylvilagus floridanus, Insecta, and fruit. They will also eat carrion. Red foxes also store food and are very good at relocating these caches. Red foxes have a characteristic manner of hunting Peromyscus leucopus. The fox stands motionless, listening and watching intently for a mouse it has detected. It then leaps high and brings the forelimbs straight down forcibly to pin the mouse to the ground. They eat between 0.5 and 1 kg of food each day.
Animal Foods: Birds; Mammals; Reptiles; Carrion; Insects; Terrestrial Non-insect Arthropods
Plant Foods: Fruit
Foraging Behavior: Stores or caches food
