Jailed Terrorist Suspect Will Only Eat Meat
Behold: a visit from Captain Obvious. As if the world needed another example of the proven link between violence against animals and violence against humans, Ghulam Rasool Khan—a suspected al-Qaida member jailed in India—refuses to eat the vegetarian food served to him, instead demanding "two kg of mutton and one kg of chicken daily."
Khan has threatened to go on a hunger strike if he doesn't get his carcasses. But if PETA India's recent request that all jails serve only vegetarian meals is honored, then the bloodthirsty terrorist will be starving himself indefinitely.

Why is it then that I made an arguement on another site that murderers terrorists should have no human rights as the take away the right of another human being to live. I was told by every member I was a stereotype? Why dont people get it that if someone acts a hero for what ever reason taking life should be prepared for the outcome. Does this make me stereotype demented?
Randy I am unable to locate that part of the US Constitution which gives the government any power to grant privileges to the people. Perhaps you can enlighten me. The DMV also seems confused about this. What I can find though is the Ninth Amendment "The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." In other words the fact that the constitution does not enumerate a right to choose one's own diet doesn't mean that such a right doesn't exist or that the government can arbitrarily take away that right from a suspect. The US Constitution has nothing whatsoever to do with India though so I don't see why it is even being discussed here.
jade your comparison is a little unfair. it's like saying a person who can't smoke cigarettes is imposing their views on someone who is addicted to cigarettes. if i offered a meat eater a cheese pizza they could easily eat it. but if a meat eater offered flesh to me a hindu whose religion requires him to eat vegetarian i'd have to refuse it. in this instance the prisoner's religion does not forbid him to eat vegetables. it's not written in the quran that allah commands him to eat mutton and that veggies and rice are not halal. second india is a developing country. meat costs more what he's asking for is a lot more costly to the prison than serving some lentils rice wheat flour bread or veggies. imagine a US inmate demanding caviar. that's not the same thing as a hindu asking for a cheap vegetarian meal. if prisons provided veg meals they'd save on costs.
Laurin I guess we should set up a criminal court for all the predatory animals in the world. We could get a CSI team on all the "murder" cases. I guess I will be more vigilant and report all the animals that murder other animals. Then we can put them to death like you suggested. The lions and tigers and bears will recieve justice.
All prisoners should be fed a pure vegetarian diet. Meat eaters are omnivores. That means they eat meat and vegetarian objects. A human can not live off of pure meat. This prisoner eats vegetarian all of the time. He can stave in jail. In fact that it exactly what he deserves. What gives him the right to live when he supports the murder of animals. I believe one mans life is worth one life. If you stop another creatures life your life should end as well. This is why murderers can be put to death by law. It is sad and unjust that not every human being is a vegetarian. Humans are scientifically considered "animals". So why do we have the right to choose what animals are ours to slaughter and abuse. It is illegal to kill human "animals" but not a soul even cries for millions of cows pigs and chickens who are murdered. Majority of human kind is truly cruel.
perfect. I fully support the jails being all vegetarian!!!!
lets not forget why he is in prison he is prepared to kill and maim innocent people treat him with the contempt he deserves let him starve he wants to be a martyr anyway do we really want killers like him in the world? i say let him starve and good riddance
If he's a prisoner he'll eat what he's given if not let him starve! Demanding what he wants to eat is unheard of. No meat is healtier anyway he has NO rights. Let him starve!!
Whether you are free or in jail please don't eat meat.This person should not eat meat my roommate did almost the same he ate 2 kg of buffalo wings in one mealbut he noticed "some" changes in his body at his 23 years of age. He stopped his unhealthy and cruel promoting diet.
Human rights are universal and should be respected everywhere even inside a jail. This was established via the Geneva Conventions and the United Nations Convention on Human Rights. Prisoners should not be abused or tortured or mistreated. I realize most prisoners are mistreated however it is not right or legal to abuse others. Allowing a prisoner to have a vegetarian or a meat meal could be a humnan right if it is related to religious beliefs or medical needs however even without these factors it would not be unreasonable to offer some variations of the food served. That just seems humane to me.
WoW this was the most complicated debate I've ever come across in a thread. But yet so simple I like Jade and I understood her perfectly. By way of debate I enjoyed the well written english language putting another to their shame. Even though it truly was pretencious. LOL
We all agree that the consumption of carcasses is abhorrent but to demand 2 kg of mutton and 1 kg of chicken per meal means this person would eat 6lbs of animal flesh at one sitting that is truly gross. As a prisoner he does have rights if he does not like vegetarian food he has the right to starve himself to death. The prison furnishes food and as someone pointed out in another post it is not a four star hotel. He will probably come out of prison in much better health on a vegetarian diet.
wait… he is just a suspect and already in jail?? in my country they have to prove you are guilty before they put you in jail…
Senor VC Gosh again you're somehow confused. I've already said that 1. Prisoners have some rights 2. One right is not to be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment 3. Cruel and unusual punishment has no set definition and as such would be considered on a casebycase basis in court. So how does repeating what I've already told you change the fact that prisoners' OTHER rights are restricted? It doesn't right? you admitted so yourself in a previous post. How does cruel and unusual punishment have any bearing on whether a prisoner can demand special food not on the menu at a prison? You've yet to tie the two things together despite repeatedly babbling that cruel and unusual punishment's interpretability somehow disproves a point I've made which you STILL have failed to identify. If you consider it as Jade has saidthat not giving vegan food to a vegan is cruel and unusual punishment then I agree with Jadeit wouldn't fly in court. You'd have to cater to everyone's dietary peculiarities.
vegancoin "prisoners do have rights there is no way around it. i suggest you do some research before regurgitating your confused pointless and malicious distortions here. and defining "cruel and unusual punishment" is not nitpicking it is an essential part of the legal process." The ONLY rights they have are to not be treated like some of those prisoners were at Gitmo the nude pyramids or defamation of character. And other rights such as exercise outdoors and such can be taken away for infractions. What is NOT cruel and unusual punishment? giving people a diet that everyone in the system eats. It's a choice to eat it or not if they were FORCE FED against their will that's cruel and unusual punishment. In conclusion Cruel and unusual punishment nude pyramids torture not defined by the laws of this land beatings for stealing extra food. What is NOT cruel and unusual punishment denying a vegetarian's demands of a vegetarian meal denying an omnivore's demand of having meat included in a vegetarian diet. Please don't be such a buffoon as to assume that being denied the right or even privilege of having a vegetarian meal is cruel and unusual punishment. It's NOT cruel and usual punishment if you don't like it don't commit the crime.
jade 'n ralph prisoners do have rights there is no way around it. i suggest you do some research before regurgitating your confused pointless and malicious distortions here. and defining "cruel and unusual punishment" is not nitpicking it is an essential part of the legal process. "Under the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution individuals convicted of a crime have the right to be free of "cruel and unusual" punishment while in jail or prison. This means that after a criminal defendant is convicted and sentenced the Constitution still acts to guarantee his or her fundamental rights concerning conditions of confinement and treatment by corrections personnel. Inmates' Eighth Amendment challenges to punishment and confinement conditions are typically brought in connection with federal civil rights laws including 42 U.S. Code Section 1983 and the Prison Litigation Reform Act. What is "Cruel and Unusual" Punishment? No universal definition exists but any punishment that is clearly inhumane or that violates basic human dignity may be deemed "cruel and unusual."… source httpcriminal.findlaw.comcrimescriminalrightscruelunusualpunishment
Vegancoin said "but for you to make the blanket assertion that all prisoners have committed a crime…" I never asserted or implied this. Wouldn't the multiple instances where I stated sometimes INNOCENTS are EXECUTED contradict this interpretation? Once more learn to read. You also claim I asserted that "prisoners are treated fairly and that the criminal justice system is practically flawless" Again I never asserted any such thing. I never gave an opinion on whether I thought the prison treatment was 'fair'and I'm pretty sure pointing out that innocent people are imprisoned contradicts your ludicrous accusation that I think prisons are 'flawless'. Please continue to dream up arguments you think I'm making. It's beginning to get kind of fun guessing what random accusation you'll make next. "it depends on how one defines cruel and unusual punishment." I'm not sure why you're nitpicking thisI never used it to support any argument. I just gave it as an example of a right prisoners actually do legally have. Of course it's up to interpretation. That's exactly why I haven't used it's application to support any points. Here since you think it's such a shoddy argument identify the argument I made using the existence of the right to not be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment as support and point out how the interpretability of the law affects the logic of the argument. Good luck. Imaginary arguments you dream I've made don't count. You mentioned "prisoners legal rights are limited while incarcerated" TADA!!! That's the only thing I've been trying to get you to understand the whole time. Innocent or not. Fair or not. Prisoners' rights are limited in prison! I don't know of any prison system that doesn't limit rightsand thus here and in most places the jail sets the menu and prisoners with limited rights have no 'right' to demand special diets unless it violates a right which they retain in prison.
Vegancoin "but for you to make the blanket assertion that all prisoners have committed a crime and deserve to be "punished"" If they are in jail they are either arrested under suspicions of an event or have committed a crime. If they are exhonorated they leave the prison if not they stay in it. Regardless the time they are in the prison they must follow what is done in the prison therefore their "rights" are suspended. They also love the privilege and "right" to demand they eat only a certain type of meal. Seriously it's just like this If it's a vegetarian being denied a vegetarian meal you'd be in an uproar on prisons giving "cruel and unusual punishment" but if it's an omnivore demanding meat it's "You're getting punished you deserve this" I'm sorry the vegetarian can't get a vegetarian meal and it's not "Cruel and unusual punishment" if they don't as they are still being served a meal. Nor is it cruel and unusual punishment for an omnivore to be denied meat they're still getting nutrition. Unfortunately people's ideas on this are going the way of the dodo bird and what's sad is the definition of what a prison truly is has gone from punishment to prisoners getting better treatment than those of us who are free. That's where you need to think about it if you do the crime you do the time and without the luxuries of ordering what you want to eat.
Randy come on my dear man it depends on how one defines cruel and unusual punishment. i'm sure i can find some madcrazy examples… besides i don't believe the point of this blog entry was to debate constitutional law and prisoners rights. prisoners legal rights are limited while incarcerated but for you to make the blanket assertion that all prisoners have committed a crime and deserve to be "punished" are treated fairly and that the criminal justice system is practically flawless is just plain foolish and arbitary nonsense.
Who does this guy the terrorist think he is hurting by refusing to eat a veggie meal? In prison they serve you a meal. If he dosen't like what's on the meal he dosen't have to eat. He will either get tired of not eating or starve to death but I don't feel sorry for him one bit.
Vegancoin said "but in my mind it is a stretch to connect innocent prisoner that were wrongfully executed with all prisoners must eat meat because they don't have any rights" I did not draw this connectionthat's your misunderstanding. You refused to admit that prisoners have their rights taken away and the death penalty is a clearcut example that can be interpreted in no other way. Second I never said they must eat meatthat's your assumption. If they are served Hamburger Helper and a potato they are free to not eat the meat but they have no guaranteed right to demand a special vegetarian meal ie. Jailcook make me Quinoa Helper instead!. Even detained immigrants who technically aren't true criminals aren't allowed to determine food options while in detention but they can pay to get better meal options. It seems that perhaps you think that people here are arguing about whether or not prisoners SHOULD have certain rights as opposed to whether they DO have rights. SHOULD they be able to demand vegetarian meals? Who knows? Are they legally entitled to vegetarian foods? No. Just look at any article touting 'vegetarianfriendly' prisons and you'll find a wealth of prisons that refuse to cater to vegetarians just as the Indian prison refuses to cater to the ubermeateater. PS. How exactly does you agreeing that the right to not be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment existing in the Constitution makes my conclusions incorrect? Do you even know how to make a point? What exactly is this bandwagon fallacy you speak of? You continuously accuse me of making illogical conclusions but rarely bother to say what those conclusions are. What the hell are you smokin' anyway?
Randy then we both agree that justice isn't served here in america that the crimal justice system is dysfunctional. there are many issues here but in my mind it is a stretch to connect innocent prisoner that were wrongfully executed with all prisoners must eat meat because they don't have any rights. bogus my man. "The only right I'm aware of that's guaranteed to all classes of prisoners is the right to not be subjected to 'cruel and unusual' punishment." as outlined by the constitution i believe it. that is why i question your vapid and unbelievably dense conclusions and twisty logic. you are once again promoting the logically incorrect and completely erroneous bandwagon fallacy.
Cathy if that were the case then there was no reason to post this story up to begin with really. The prison itself gives vegetarian meals. The only reason it's any "news" worthy is the prisoner's demands which are being denied anyway due to the fact that the prison is indeed giving him only vegetarian meals. I haven't lost focus my issue with it is that people are trying to say that it's a right for vegetarians to have a vegetarian meal no matter what the prison serves. That said like this alQaida suspect they have no right to demand a meal that is different from what is served in the prison. You lose your right to choose when you step foot in the prison meaning vegans could end up with omnivore meals every day and the reverse.

Results tagged "drama" from critical difference
There are topics we tend to shy from in drama as in life, and abortion is one of them.
The death of Bea Arthur, a little over a week ago, reminded us that this is now -- but wasn't always -- the case with TV series. More than 35 years ago, Arthur's iconic character, Maude Findlay, had "prime time's first abortion, in a two-part episode that aired two months before Roe v. Wade made abortion legal across the country," as Rebecca Traister wrote in Salon. Like mainstream movies, TV prefers not to tell stories like that anymore.
Theater seldom bluntly deals with the issue of abortion, either, even peripherally -- which is odd, when you consider both the strong emotions it incites and how common it is. Or maybe that's not so peculiar, given how seldom women wield the pen that writes the script.
Its scarcity onstage makes all the more striking the fact that two current off-Broadway plays do deal with abortion, their approaches to the topic as unalike as the shows themselves: "Ruined," Lynn Nottage's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama about war and sexual violence in the Congo, and "Everyday Rapture," Sherie Rene Scott's bubbly, autobiographical musical, which she wrote with Dick Scanlan.
Abortion comes only briefly to the fore in each play, a bit ambiguously in one, unequivocally in the other, breath-catchingly in both, and for very different reasons. Both moments left me blinking back tears.
To say much more than that about them would be a disservice to audiences, who deserve to be surprised.
But audiences deserve, too, to have the fullness of human experience examined honestly onstage. A person doesn't have to be on a particular side of the abortion debate to recognize that abortion is a fact of life, and one that theater would do better to acknowledge.

To me, NY pizza should stand a slight fold and show the end tip just slightly dipping. One of your shots lets me see this. Perhaps because i am looking for it. Nice pizza!
I don't know why, but I'm having a hard time seeing you have much fun with a formula you can't discuss with Peter.
You know I usually am never secretive and always (until now) posted almost every step of the process, formulation and photos of almost every pizza I have made on this forum whether good or bad. I have never minded before if anyone tried to copy anything I have done on this forum. I will continue to share what I have done as far as making different styles of pizzas, so it can help anyone that is interested. This forum and all the members have taught me all I know about making pizzas.Since this recipe was given to me from someone that wants their recipe to remain anonymous that is why I cant post it. I hope you or anyone else can understand. I can post what sauce I used or my cheese.Norma
Great looking pizza once again Norma! I understand that you can't share the secret recipe, and it's good that you're honoring your word! That said, I've never understood the point of keeping recipes a secret... even in a competitive situation, making money is more about running a business than it is about having the best food. Just comparing Pizza Hut to your local mom n' pop will tell you that! Not to mention that with enough time, money, and effort, it's possible to reverse-engineer just about anything in the world anyhow! These folks sitting on "secret recipes" are pretty silly if you ask me!
You are SO right. I love this post!
OK folks...let's let this most valued young lady have a little fun.No more comments about "secrets"....we all have them. Stay on topic and let's help our Norma out.
This crust looks faaantastic....your deck oven runs at 525 correct Norma?
Norma,This pie looks great, but so do all your others. But how did it taste in comparison?I hope that the person who is asking you to keep this secret will rescind his request and in the spirit of this board allow you to share.
I really don't think the person that gave me this recipe will change their mind about sharing the recipe.Norma
Your word is everything Norma. If you were asked to keep it a secret you are right to do so.Many years ago in the early '70's I was working as a technician and in the summer there were a lot of college students working at the factory. It was known that I liked to bake bread and they could see by my lunch that I had a fondness for whole wheat.One day one student handed me a recipe and said it was from his Uncle. He asked me to never give it to anyone else. To this day I have never given it out. I learned later that it came from the Arnold family.
Norma,How much more % protein are you going up in with this next flour(Kyrol)?
I can venture a guess of who it came from by virtue of who HASN'T commented. Lovely looking pies Norma. (as always).
Steve,There is a lot of members that haven't commented on this thread, so I would think you would be naming people and guessing for a long while.
The micro blistering is really pretty and so is the structure in the cornice. Did it taste as good as it looked?

It's been a long time since I did a "play along" but it really helps me make my accompanyment smoother and more comfortable for the lead players. Practicing is almost as much fun as playing out.
So - what do you guys practice? Is there a drum book you enjoy working in? Any patterns that you're digging currently?
I'm working on 5's. rlrrl repeat. Start on beat 4 and you'll land on 1 after 5 beats.
I also like Steve Smith's video lesson from a few years ago. I like his analysis and I can't help but admire his relaxed, smooth form.
I have the DVD. Sorry - I accidently misled you. I'm a solo six stringer who barely has time to play anymore. But I could still find my way through few Cream and Blind Faith numbers no matter how bad my hands hurt.
Where's Neal Peart? John Bohnam? Charlie Watts? Interesting thing about Charlie Watts is that he has a jazz background, had his own jazz band, maybe still does, and drums for a rock band. Ever notice how "dis-interested" he always looks in the video's?
All three were on the list we pulled up. Just watched Rush in Rio again the other weekend and was amazed anew at the talent level of those three guys. Never understood why many did not care for Rush. Peart is a stick twirling/tossing genious.

Around 600 guests from government, business, civil society and the arts gathered at a gala in Basel, Switzerland on Friday, March 1, to celebrate stewards of sustainability. The theme of this year's celebration was "Nature and Culture – the Future We Want!" and the highlight of the evening was the announcement of the 2013 Prix NATURE Swisscanto Prize winners.
This Swiss Sustainability Award recognizes outstanding achievements advancing sustainable development in Switzerland and is presented in three categories: Grand Prize, Generation Future, and Beacons of Hope.
The Grand Prize was awarded to Mathis Wackernagel, President of Global Footprint Network, in recognition of co-developing Ecological Footprint accounting and helping to bring the tool to governments and institutions across the world.
The Ecological Footprint is the world's premier measure of humanity's demand on nature. The Grand Prize honors life achievements of individuals or distinguished, lasting efforts of organizations, enterprises or scientific institutions that make a contribution to sustainable development.
The other two nominees for the Grand Prize were director Markus Imhoof, whose latest film, "More Than Honey," highlighted the great economic importance of biodiversity, and Hans Rudolf Herren, who was nominated for his pioneering work in sustainable agriculture and biological pest control.
The award in the Generation Future category was given to the organization weACT, which hosts on-line organizations where teams can compete to lower their ecological footprint. Singer and writer Endo Anaconda, of the band Stiller Has, won in the Beacons of Hope category, for raising public awareness about sustainability issues.

Surveys have found that nearly eight in ten Americans regard the Bible as either the literal word of God or as inspired by God. At the same time, other surveys have revealed—and recent books have analyzed—surprising gaps in Americans' biblical literacy. These discrepancies reveal American Christians' complex relationship to their scripture, a subject that is widely acknowledged but rarely investigated. To understand that paradox, the Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture conducted the first large-scale investigation of the Bible in American life.
"The Bible in American Life" is a study whose purpose is to understand better how Americans use the Bible in their personal daily lives and how other influences, including religious communities and the Internet, shape individuals' use of scripture. The project, according to its researchers, was driven by the recognition that, though the Bible has been central to Christian practice throughout American history, many important questions remain unanswered in scholarship, including how people have read the Bible for themselves outside of worship, how denominational and parachurch publications have influenced interpretation and application, and how clergy and congregations have influenced individual understandings of scripture.
Some of the interesting findings from the report include:

Thursby Family Makes Substantial Donation To USA Judo
The Thursby family: Macy, Jessica, Bill,Lynn and Hope
The Thursby family of Cedar Hill, Texas, has made a generous donation to USA Judo, fulfilling a challenge grant for $35,000 by the U.S. Olympic Committee, effectively providing a total of $70,000 to advance the sport and build future elite teams.
"This is a great gift to USA Judo because it establishes a very nice pattern of giving by the Thursby family as well as serves as an example to the USA Judo family to imitate," said USA Judo CEO Jose Rodriguez. "The Thursby family not only has supported judo in the past with their funding, but also with their hard work as they have time and again shown up at our events and they don't mind rolling up their sleeves to help our organization be successful."
The family has strong roots in the sport. Jessica Wooldridge, daughter to Lynn Wooldridge-Thursby and Bill Thursby, is a former USA Judo nationally ranked junior and senior athlete. Granddaughters Hope Carpenter and Macy Haze are currently participating in judo as well. The entire family has regularly donated their time over a couple decades at national, regional and local events making many personal contributions of their time as well as financially.
Since 2005 the family has supported multiple individual athletes as well as various teams including the Olympic Training Center program in Colorado Springs and numerous Texas judo clubs.
"My family and I saw this as a huge opportunity to support USA Judo and allow them the ability to secure even more funding for the athletes and their programs," said Lynn Wooldridge. Wooldridge has also been active in judo for the past 21 years, through practicing and teaching youth as well as serving as the All-Star Chairman for Texas Judo for eight of those years.
The family owns Arlington-based Thursby Software Systems, a leader in enterprise Apple iPad, iPhone and Mac integration with Microsoft focused infrastructure, cloud-based systems and on-demand software. More than 70,000 clients from around the world include the Pentagon, Johns Hopkins, the Discovery Channel and BMW. Support ranges from individual devices (BYOD) to organizationally furnished equipment across multiple sites and countries. The Thursbys also operate the Thursby Family Charitable Foundation geared at supporting a wide range of philanthropic causes.
"On behalf of our Board of Directors we thank the Thursby family for their continuous generosity to our organization and our sport. I hope this breaks the ice once and for all, and it triggers an avalanche of donations from other members of USA Judo," stated USA Judo President Lance Nading.

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
The first NASA grant to be awarded to Whittier College will support an astronomer's study of blazars.
Professor of Physics and Astronomy Glenn Piner has been awarded a $94,991 grant from the Fermi Guest Investigator Program (http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/) at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The one-year award will support his proposal, "The Parsec-Scale Jets of an Expanded Sample of TeV Blazars as seen by the Upgraded VLBA." Fermi is a space observatory that is performing gamma-ray astronomy observations from low Earth orbit. As a Fermi Guest Investigator, Piner will also have access to 129 hours of observing time with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) of radio telescopes.
Piner and his team will use the VLBA to make high-resolution images of supermassive black hole systems in the distant universe that produce very high-energy gamma-ray radiation from near the black hole. Such systems are known as blazars.
"Blazars produce some of the highest energy light known in the universe," explains Piner. "Because such light must be produced by high-energy particles, blazars act as nature's particle accelerators, although much of their physics remains controversial."
Piner's co-investigator on the project is Dr. Philip Edwards of CSIRO in Australia. The grant will allow Piner to extend his regularly scheduled one-semester sabbatical to a full year, as well as fund conference travel and the purchase of computer workstations to store and process the VLBA data. The award will also fund summer positions for Whittier College physics majors, who will analyze some of the VLBA data for this project.
The team will image the few dozen blazars that are known to produce the highest energy gamma-rays (over one trillion electron-volts, or 1 TeV), and then use these images to constrain the physical properties of these objects, such as the speed of the emitting matter, the magnetic field strength and configuration, and the structure of the gamma-ray emitting region relative to the central black hole.
"These measurements are a crucial step toward understanding the production of some of the highest energy light in the universe," adds Piner.
As one of the highest resolution telescopes in the world (about one million times the resolution of the human eye), the VLBA is ideal for producing the images for this project. It has recently been upgraded to be much more sensitive, allowing the researchers to detect the faint radio emission from the objects in this study.
This grant is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under Grant Agreement No. NNX13AO82G.
The Fermi GI program is intended to encourage scientific participation by providing funding to carry out investigations using Fermi data, to conduct correlative observations at other wavelengths, to develop data analysis techniques applicable to the Fermi data, and to carry out theoretical investigations in support of Fermi observations.

Bonilla and Taylor presented an all day pre-institute conference titled: "Five Lenses for Educating for and Assessing Cultural Competence." The institute engaged participants in exploring two questions, "Is there one best approach to educating for cultural competence? and "Is cultural competence measurable?" Goals for the institute included the following: 1) to introduce five distinct approaches to educating for cultural competency along with a sampling of corresponding assessment instruments; 2) to provide participants an opportunity to identify their own preferred "lens(es)" on cultural competence; 3) to give participants hands-on practice applying the five lenses using a case study; & 4) to explore some of the comparative strengths and limitations of each lens and discuss the implications of the institute to participants' own work back at home.

Nvidia Corp. on Tuesday unveiled its second chip that belongs to Fermi generation of graphics processing units (GPUs) and also unveiled its first DirectX 11 chip for mobile computers. But while the GeForce GTX 480M is positioned as the top-of-the-range mobile offering from Nvidia, declared raw-speed performance of the solution is below that of ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870.
"We have now brought the vaunted Fermi architecture to notebooks. GeForce GTX 480M delivers nearly three times more Nvidia CUDA cores over previous generation notebook GPUs, which means users get unbelievably fast video transcoding, upscaling from standard definition to high definition and real-time movie clean-up with the click of a button," said Matt Wuebbling, senior product manager of notebook products.
Nvidia GeForce GTX 480M seems to be based on the code-named GF104 processor, which is a cut down version of the original GF100 first shown in September, 2009. The new chip sports 352 stream processors (SPs), 44 texture units (TUs), 32 render back ends (RBEs), 256-bit memory controller along with advanced feature-set. Thanks to decreased complexity of the GF104 processor compared to the predecessor, the new GPU can operate at 850MHz, a rather unprecedented speed for the GF100. Nvidia did not declare thermal design power of the new solution, but earlier reports suggested that the TDP of the model GTX 480M is about 100W.
Thanks to boosted frequencies, peak theoretical computing power of the GeForce GTX 480M is 897GLOPS. Still, the chip will not be the most powerful mobile GPU on the planet since ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 boasts with peak computing power of 1120GLOPS. Nevertheless, the model GTX 480M sports a number of capabilities its rival does not have, e.g. stereoscopic-3D support, PhysX support and so on. Yet, unlike the model GTX 480M, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 consumes 50W, two times less than the rival.
The first notebooks featuring Nvidia GeForce GTX 480M will be released by Clevo, a well-known maker of high-performance notebooks.

Art show offering outreach
FAIRMONT – As a continuing effort to reach out to young adults in the area, the Christian ministry "The Gathering" is hosting "Generation Now," an art show at Red Rock Center for the Arts tonight and Saturday.
The show is open to the public, featuring local young adult artists.
"We have photography, drawing, painting, music, sculptures, woodwork and clothwork," said Bart Whitman of The Gathering.
Whitman launched the ministry this past fall. It is something he has worked toward for the past two years.
"The primary purpose of The Gathering is to bring awareness to young adults in this community," he said. "The highlights of this age group is that there is a high level of creativity; they have a real passion for creating and artistic things. We thought this was a good opportunity to show off those abilities to the community."
The show opens at 6 p.m. tonight at Red Rock Center and goes until 9 p.m. Saturday's showing will be from 3-9 p.m. There will be live music for portions of the show both nights. A Gathering service will be held at 6:30 p.m. during the show Saturday.
Whitman said his hopes for the show go beyond art.
"We also want to raise awareness in the community of the significant number of younger adults in and around Fairmont. They have specific needs and struggles, and it is our hope that the community can come together to encourage and support the younger generation."
While also helping young adults find support and maintain their faith, The Gathering hopes to help give back to the community.
"Our vision is to open a coffee shop, because it would be a benefit to the community at large," Whitman said. "We've almost completed a business model, and there is the potential for the young adult population to expand. We figure if we break even, that would be OK, because our goal is to provide something that's beneficial to the community."

Bill, unfortunately we have become a nation of sheep. The average citizen knows more about what is going on with TV's American Idol than the out-of-control massive spending going on in Washington DC.
"give me liberty or give me death" means nothing to most. The culture that you and I respect means nothing to most because you and I are now in the minority both ethnically and politically.
Today, most Americans think that "freedom" means owning an HD TV. Where is the outrage over our freedoms being pander to foreign governments and illegal aliens? None expect for a few that are willing to stand up and be heard.
The video encourages support for Tea Parties as a beginning, which I believe in. It is a way for US to unite and if we have to exercise our 2nd Amendment right, so be it! Tea Parties are just the beginning to something greater. We CAN overcome our inept and crooked politicians in Washington DC.
The National Tax Day Tea Parties are April 15th. Over 1,800 across the USA on that day. I hope you will join me!

Mr. Booty thanks for the link. Will be going here in Little Rock.
Ive called a couple of people that have expressed outrage but say well I'll see if I can go. I've said it befor onhere, Jesus refers us to sheep. You know why? Sheep are dirty, they whine, get lost all the time and they bit eachother. Yes to Him wea are his sheep but to the USA we are citizens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To all who are thinking about going GO! We have to stand up or we will lose. Think..If patrick Henery just chose to sit silent, or Paul Rever chose to go back to bed, or George Washington said it was to cold to go out in the water.......Take action!
God bless.
The only way to fix this is to get these people OUT OF OFFICE!!
As long as people like Pelosi, Frank, Reid et. al. are in office, they will attack us with the agenda.
Work for just change.

Yippee-ki-nay: Bruce Willis' Top 5 non-Die Hard performances
Ladies and gentlemen, start your smirks: another Die Hard movie is in our midst. A Good Day to Die Hard, opening Friday, marks Bruce Willis' fifth go-round as unlucky, quick-trigger cop John McClane. (I saw the first one on a date in high school. I'm now 42. Do the math).
By now moviegoers should know Willis isn't your typical action star: he also Moonlights as a stoic character actor, a gig he gets better at by the year. So this week we're counting down Willis' five best non-Die Hard movie performances. Consider this a no-Yippee-ki-yay zone. Unless you really, really want to say it.
5. Nobody's Fool, 1994 – The same year as Pulp Fiction Willis played Paul Newman's pain-in-the-butt boss in Robert Benton's fine adaptation of the Richard Russo novel.
4. Looper, 2012 – Put 2012 next to 1994 as years when Willis showed his versatility. His diner scene with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, playing a younger version of Willis' character, is worth the price of admission.
3. The Sixth Sense, 1999 – Beneath the bluster Willis has always had a talent for eerie calm, never on better display than in M. Night Shyamalan's first two features: The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable.
2. Moonrise Kingdom, 2012 – One reason I've always liked the guy: he can let go of his vanity long enough to play a sad middle-aged man. Wes Anderson is just the kind of filmmaker to recognize this side of Willis and put it to good use.
1. Pulp Fiction, 1994 – He kept the swagger and carefully selected the right weapon (samurai sword) for the job as a double-crossing boxer who beats the fix but gets crossways with the mob. So we cool?

Wulfstan c. mid-late 10th century-1023
English homilist, legislator, and political theorist.
Wulfstan, who occasionally wrote under the pseudonym "Lupus," is, along with Ælfric, one of the two outstanding Old English writers of the late Anglo-Saxon period. His best-known work, the Sermo Lupi ad Anglos (c. 1014) is an impassioned exhortation to the people of England to repent for their sins or face the ever-deepening wrath of God. Principally studied as an orator and homilist, Wulfstan occupied the position of spiritual leader in England during the latter portions of the calamitous reign of King Ethelred. These years were full of civil unrest sparked in part by Viking invasions and tensions among Danish settlers in the so-called Danelaw—the subsequently English regions of East Anglia, Essex, and Northumbria. Wulfstan's formulation of legal and ecclesiastical codes for Kings Ethelred and Cnut indicates the degree to which Wulfstan helped mold political life during the period, and his Institutes of Polity (c. 1023) is considered a singular contribution to the development of political theory in the late Anglo-Saxon era. Additionally, Wulfstan is frequently cited for his zealous work as a church reformer focused on the northern English sees of Worcester and York, where he sought to instruct the laity in the fundamentals of Christian faith and to stem the abuse or disregard of ecclesiastical law.
Biographical Information
Relatively little is known of Wulfstan's life, particularly before he reached adulthood. The date of his birth is open to speculation, although it can be assumed that he was born sometime in the mid to late tenth century. While the Book of Ely, a twelfth-century manuscript from the monastery of the same name, contains information of his life and stories of the minor miracles he performed, few of its claims can be substantiated and scholars generally view this near-hagiographic work with skepticism. Beyond the likely supposition that Wulfstan came from a prominent family, facts about his parents and other relations are sketchy. It is believed that his mother died during his birth by caesarean section, and some legal records related to his brothers and sisters are extant. The first documented event in Wulfstan's life marks his appointment to the post of Bishop of London in 996. He may have served as an abbot before being named bishop, and would certainly have received a formal education and oratorical training prior to his selection by the church, but no solid details are known. Likewise, contradictory evidence exists as to whether he was ever a monk, although he was clearly a member of the Benedictine Order. A few scholars suggest that King Ethelred may have employed Wulfstan during his first term as Bishop in London. This period was marked by an increase in Danish (Viking) raids of the English and Welsh coasts. Seeking to curtail aggressions in 1002, the Anglo-Saxon English made a third payment of Danegeld, a land tax of some 24,000 pounds used as tribute to buy off the invaders. King Ethelred's order of the notorious St. Brice's Day massacre of Danes living in England that same year, however, renewed hostilities. Meanwhile, the death of Archbishop Ealdulf of Worcester and York in 1002 opened a path to advancement for Wulfstan, who was named Bishop of Worcester from 1002 to 1016, and Archbishop of York from 1002 to 1023. In Worcester Wulfstan gained control of a substantial library of Latin texts, and made considerable efforts to expand this collection of patristic and canonical literature. It is also during this early period at Worcester that Wulfstan began to devote himself to his most notable literary endeavors on both sacred and secular matters, writing his Christian homilies, the Canons of Edgar, and Laws of Edward and Guthrum (the two latter works were probably composed sometime between 1002 and 1008, while dates for the homilies are less precise). Incontrovertible evidence that Wulfstan served as a personal advisor to Kings Ethelred and Cnut is lacking, but many scholars suggest that the Bishop's close personal and public relationship to these men can be safely assumed. Wulfstan almost certainly played a major role in the political life of England near the end of Ethelred's reign and drafted portions of his late legal codes (designated as V-X Ethelred) between 1008 and 1012. Records also indicate that in 1020 he consecrated a church at Ashingdon for Cnut, the Danish invader who had become the undisputed king of England by 1016. Other evidence suggests that Wulfstan probably counseled the new king as well. He appears to have had a strong professional affiliation with Ælfric, the renowned Archbishop of Canterbury and outstanding Anglo-Saxon writer of the day. The date of Wulfstan's death is recorded as 28 May 1023. He was buried at Ely.
Major Works
Wulfstan's sermons, consisting of twenty-two Old English homilies and four Latin homilies, are generally considered his most significant texts and are the principal subject of scholarly interest in his writings. Specifically designed to move audiences with their rhetorical intensity, many of the sermons also exhibit a plainer style better suited to instruction. Repetition is a key element in these prose works, which demonstrate a varied use of such poetic elements as rhythm, rhyme, assonance, and alliteration. Sometimes characterized by intermittent irony, their thrust is principally moral, either in the form of catechistic instruction or as eschatological pieces detailing the imminent end of the world. Principal among the sermons, Wulfstan's renowned Sermo Lupi ad Anglos ("Sermon of Lupus to the English"), composed in the West Saxon literary dialect, features an expanding list of catastrophes from the reign of Ethelred, and interprets these disasters as the result of divine retribution for the accumulated sins and moral transgressions of the English people in the early eleventh century. It constitutes a dire call for repentance, faith, and supplication to God that He might suspend His punishment and vengeance. Wulfstan's earliest sermons (categorized as Homilies I-V by scholar Dorothy Bethurum and probably written near the beginning of his public career) conform to the eschatological pattern of the Sermo Lupi ad Anglos by prophesying the coming of the Last Days. Among these, "De Anticristo" (Homily 1b) warns of the impending approach of the Devil who seeks to ensnare and destroy humankind. Others include free translations of biblical passages, such as Homily VI, a summary of Christian history that draws from the books of Isaiah and Jeremiah, and is representative of Wulfstan's didactic works. The following group (VII to Xc) includes sermons on baptism, the Creed, the commandments, and the sins, virtues, and duties of man. Still others, such as "De godcundre warnunge" (Homily XIX) and "De falsis deis" (Homily XII) are more properly adaptations; the former is comprised of portions from Leviticus, the latter a paraphrase of Ælfric's sermon against the worship of false gods. The remaining homilies variously deal with the duties of an archbishop, detailing such topics as the performance of penance during Lent or the consecration of a church. Exceptional in Old English literature as the only known text principally focused on political theory, Wulfstan's unfinished Institutes of Polity sets out the roles played by diverse classes in society, from the king, to members of the clergy, to the common man. It additionally defines power relationships between the church and secular authorities. Beginning with an analysis of kingship, the Institutes of Polity identifies the monarch's status as a worldly substitute for God whose chief concern should be the defense and welfare of his people. Wulfstan also elucidates the king's responsibilities to the church in his role of shepherding civil prosperity in the Institutes. Wulfstan's other political writings, a series of legal and ecclesiastical codes, are less systematic, but nonetheless seek to strengthen the association between secular and religious authority while defining legal minutiae (such as specific penalties for lesser crimes) within the overarching context of a Christian notion of justice. Wulfstan's abiding interest in the delineation of the proper modes of church authority seems apparent in the Canons of Edgar, a work generally attributed to him, although scholars insist that his sole authorship is not beyond question. A complementary text, the Laws of Edward and Guthrum, is likely one of Wulfstan's early legislative works and defines legal regulations concerning Danish settlement in England as well as the responsibilities of the church in regard to the Christian instruction of the predominately heathen Danes. Among the most notable of Wulfstan's collections of Old English and Latin manuscripts is the assortment commonly referred to as Wulfstan's "commonplace book." While only a few of the writings included in this compilation are actually attributed to the Archbishop's hand, many feature his marginal annotations and provide insight into the texts that he found to be of particular interest or interpolated in some fashion in his homiletic or legal works.
Critical Reception
Wulfstan's reputation after his death appears to have suffered from accusations of corruption in Worcester and claims that he had poorly directed its holdings in favor of the northern see of York. Other records contrast sharply, including the eulogistic Book of Ely, which offers unalloyed praise for the man and his wisdom, treating him as a saint. Wulfstan's homilies were broadly influential in the eleventh century, but his impact waned after the Norman Conquest of England. There is evidence that his sermons, or portions thereof, were read or possibly delivered sporadically into the twelfth century, but interest in the works declined sharply thereafter. The writer attracted little scholarly curiosity until the late 1800s, when many of his homilies were rediscovered and indexed by A. S. Napier. By the beginning of the twentieth century nothing substantial was known about Wulfstan aside from his authorship of the Sermo Lupi ad Anglos. In 1932 the scholar Karl Jost initiated a thorough study of Wulfstan and attributed a number of works to him. What followed was a period of extensive linguistic analysis of Wulfstan's homilies, including Angus McIntosh's 1949 identification of Wulfstan's two-stress mode of prose composition in a lecture focused principally on the Sermo Lupi ad Anglos. McIntosh's work remained one of the most influential studies of the Archbishop's homiletic style in the mid-twentieth century; but many of his conclusions have since been reinterpreted or expanded upon by subsequent scholars. Interest in the so-called Wulfstan style, both as means of attributing authorship and for the purpose of textual analysis, has since become a significant sub-discipline within Old English studies. As part of this process, critics have frequently compared Wulfstan with his contemporary, the great prose-writer and theologian Ælfric, whose literary output was considerably larger than Wulfstan's. The writers appear to have had a mutual influence on one another, and some controversy persists as to the proper attribution of several disputed works. Wulfstan's frequent borrowing of texts has made the process of authorial designation difficult, particularly for works potentially written by either author. Generally, judgments have been made using stylistic criteria, usually by distinguishing between Wulfstan's direct, unsubtle, and frequently strident or legalistic tone, and the more reflective manner of Ælfric. In cases where Wulfstan's authorship is generally undisputed, as in regard to the homilies, commentators have remarked on the significance of his works to the development of the Old English vernacular in the eleventh century.

When the British Academy honoured me with an invitation to deliver this lecture, I thought at first of speaking about the alliterative measure.

[In the following essay, Hollis analyzes the complex thematic pattern of Wulfstan's eschatological homily Sermo Lupi ad Anglos as it follows the moral decline of England to its culmination in disaster.]
Sermo Lupi ad Anglos has attracted far more attention by its subject matter than have other Wulfstan sermons, because its apparent topicality is of interest to students of the Old English period. Like all Wulfstan's sermons, though, it has been chiefly esteemed for its forceful oratory—it is this sermon, indeed, which is responsible for...

[In the following essay, Jurovics explicates the Sermo Lupi ad Anglos, arguing that Wulfstan's most well-known homily—an impassioned call for repentance and a return to Christian morality—is entirely consistent in tone and style with his remaining works.]
Because of its style and subject Dorothy Bethurum argues that the Sermo ad Anglos, though the best known of Wulfstan's works, is in some respects the "least...

[In the following excerpt, Greenfield and Calder briefly survey Wulfstan's major writings, largely comparing his work with that of his Anglo-Saxon contemporary Ælfric.]
Wulfstan first appears in the historical records as bishop of London from 966 to 1002; from 1002 to his death in 1023 he was archbishop of York and bishop of Worcester, though he relinquished the latter see in 1016, or, perhaps, appointed a suffragan.

'No work smells less of the study.'

Archbishop Wulfstan enjoyed a high reputation as a stylist amongst his contemporaries; when he was still bishop of London (996-1002) one correspondent spoke of the 'very sweet wisdom of [his] eloquence and the richness of [his] composition fittingly organised', whilst the wide dissemination of his sermons and their susceptibility to imitation bear dual witness to his...

The Integration of Disability Content into Social Work Education: An Examination of Infused and Dedicated Models
Disability content has been slowly integrated into social work curricula despite the large proportion of social workers supporting people with disabilities and its requirement in social work education by the Council on Social Work Education Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards. Schools of social work offer disability content to their students in three ways: infused, dedicated (specialization), or a combination of both. A content analysis of 1620 course titles and descriptions from the top schools of social work was conducted to assess the integration of disability content into social work curricula. Eighty percent of the schools included disability content in their curriculum. Disability content was more likely to be integrated using the infused rather than the dedicated model.
