I couldn't wait to get off work and watch the game with my dad and grandpa...drink some beers and watch Ubaldo. We had talked about it last night and it would be the 2nd game the three of us would have watched together since the Detroit game when Santana hit GW slam.
Well, my grandfather suffered a heart attack and died suddenly today around noon. I missed the entire game, but just heard about it and my heart sunk even lower. I just anted to drink some beers and watch the pasttime that these two men gave me. It's been a heavy day to say the least.
My grandfather served in WW II and was at games 1 and 2 of the '54 World Series. He always said Bob Lemon threw his glove further than D. Rhode's pop up homer.
Been a strange day. I hope you all managed to keep your heads tonight. I knwo it must have been a tough loss. I'll be back in a couple of days. I hope grandfather and Bob Feller guide this team from above.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Oscar Peterson
Peterson started classical piano lessons when he was six and developed quickly. After winning a talent show at 14, he began starring on a weekly radio show in Montreal. Peterson picked up early experience as a teenager playing with Johnny Holmes' Orchestra. From 1945-1949, he recorded 32 selections for Victor in Montreal. Those trio performances find Peterson displaying a love for boogie-woogie, which he would soon discard, and the swing style of Teddy Wilson and Nat King Cole. His technique was quite brilliant even at that early stage, and although he had not yet been touched by the influence of bop, he was already a very impressive player. Granz discovered Peterson in 1949 and soon presented him as a surprise guest at a Jazz at the Philharmonic concert. Peterson was recorded in 1950 on a series of duets with either Ray Brown or Major Holley on bass; his version of "Tenderly" became a hit. Peterson's talents were quite obvious, and he became a household name in 1952 when he formed a trio with guitarist Barney Kessel and Brown. Kessel tired of the road and was replaced by Herb Ellis the following year. The Peterson-Ellis-Brown trio, which often toured with JATP, was one of jazz's great combos from 1953-1958. Their complex yet swinging arrangements were competitive -- Ellis and Brown were always trying to outwit and push the pianist -- and consistently exciting. In 1958, when Ellis left the band, it was decided that no other guitarist could fill in so well, and he was replaced (after a brief stint by Gene Gammage) by drummer Ed Thigpen. In contrast to the earlier group, the Peterson-Brown-Thigpen trio (which lasted until 1965) found the pianist easily the dominant soloist. Later versions of the group featured drummers Louis Hayes (1965-1966), Bobby Durham (1967-1970), Ray Price (1970), and bassists Sam Jones (1966-1970) and George Mraz (1970).
In 1960, Peterson established the Advanced School of Contemporary Music in Toronto, which lasted for three years. He made his first recorded set of unaccompanied piano solos in 1968 (strange that Granz had not thought of it) during his highly rated series of MPS recordings. With the formation of the Pablo label by Granz in 1972, Peterson was often teamed with guitarist Joe Pass and bassist Niels Pedersen. He appeared on dozens of all-star records, made five duet albums with top trumpeters (Dizzy Gillespie, Roy Eldridge, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Clark Terry, and Jon Faddis), and teamed up with Count Basie on several two-piano dates. An underrated composer, Peterson wrote and recorded the impressive "Canadiana Suite" in 1964 and has occasionally performed originals in the years since. Although always thought of as a masterful acoustic pianist, Peterson has also recorded on electric piano (particularly some of his own works), organ on rare occasions, and even clavichord for an odd duet date with Joe Pass. One of his rare vocal sessions in 1965, With Respect to Nat, reveals that Peterson's singing voice was nearly identical to Nat King Cole's. A two-day reunion with Herb Ellis and Ray Brown in 1990 (which also included Bobby Durham) resulted in four CDs. Peterson was felled by a serious stroke in 1993 that knocked him out of action for two years. He gradually returned to the scene, however, although with a weakened left hand. Even when he wasn't 100 percent, Peterson was a classic improviser, one of the finest musicians that jazz has ever produced. The pianist appeared on an enormous number of records through the years. As a leader, he has recorded for Victor, Granz's Clef and Verve labels (1950-1964), MPS, Mercury, Limelight, Pablo, and Telarc. ~ Scott Yanow

Published May 30, 2007
SARASOTA - For much of Tuesday it wasn't hard to find Susan Stanton.
Wherever she appeared, up to 10 television cameras and reporters swarmed.
But Tuesday evening, it was the public's turn, as Stanton and four other applicants for Sarasota city manager mingled with about 400 people at a posh social.
After more interviews today, city commissioners plan to choose a top pick and a runnerup. Commissioners wouldn't say if they had any favorites, but Stanton said she felt good after her first day of one-on-one interviews.
"I'm optimistic that I will be given a fair and equal opportunity to show what I can do as city manager," she said.
Stanton, 48, who served as Largo's city manager for 14 years, was fired a month after revealing plans to become a woman.
Before the interviews, Stanton said she felt she was prepared, maybe too prepared. Last week she met with about 15 community and neighborhood leaders to gauge the city's needs. From those talks she knew what commissioners wanted to hear, but she didn't want her answers to sound canned and predictable.
One of the top candidates, Sunrise City Manager Patrick Salerno, said the barrage of media didn't bother him.
"I don't think it affected the process at all," he said.
Stanton disagreed, saying it especially affected her.
"This is damaging the process," she said. "A good city manager sits in the shadows."
After lunch, candidates jumped in a city van and toured Sarasota's neighborhoods and downtown. The evening wrapped up with a meet-the-candidates social at Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall.
Over cocktails and heavy hors d'oeuvres, about 400 residents mingled with all five candidates, but Stanton always had someone waiting to be next.
"Of all the candidates we have, you know the one who should be selected: It's Susan," said Gwen E. Calloway, who sits on the city's board of adjustment. "She's smart, and she's not pretentious."
Calloway, who is African-American, said she could relate to the discrimination Stanton has faced.
Van Wezel Foundation co-chairwoman Dottie Baer Garner said she feels Stanton will be a boon to the arts.
But Michael Saunders, who runs a real estate company, said the selection process for the manager is rushed, with just two days of interviews.
"How can you, at a cocktail party, determine suitability," Saunders said.
Some asked Stanton tough questions, like the meaning of leadership or how she would help disaffected residents connect with City Hall.
Others just hugged and kissed her.
"People were fun. They were engaged. They were excited and sincere," she said. "To have people who will come up and embrace you as you are, it's an E-ticket (ride) at Disney World."

Topic: RoR Deployment Server: Sun (T2000/Solaris) or Apple XServe (OS X)???
We're a startup doing mobile social applications using RoR. We joined the Sun Startup Essentials program, which is a fantastic program btw, for discounted hardware geared towards startups.
If you had a choice between a *deployment* server for heavy loads, would you choose the Sun/Solaris Coolthreads T2000 server (8 core, 16GB Ram) or Apple XServer/OS X (Leopard in 3 months)????
Assumming they are the similar price range (i.e. heavily discounted Sun server or Apple XServe) for running RoR social apps. Performance and scalability and reliability are key for Web 2.0 RoR apps.
Thoughts before we buy? Thanks!

Straight Bangs
Taylor Swift looks awesome with her straight bangs and straightened hairstyle, layering out her hair towards the front keeping more length towards the back really give this style more dept and such a cute and lovely vibe. There is no doubt Taylor Swift is one of those stars that really knows how to cary herself and really puts the W in Woman. Bangs aren't for everyone but if you can pull it off they do look amazing and really stand out and frame the face well.

Machida on Evans "The guy is a bad ass"
Terra.com: Did MMA joined into Lyoto Machida Era?
Lyoto Machida: I think it's too early to talk like that. Now that I'm just became the champion I still have a lot to prove. It's very hard to take the UFC belt, keeping it is even harder. There is a lot of good fighters in my division. I think it's a bit too early to say that we joined an Era of this or that fighter. Someday I'll be able to talk like that but only if I keep the belt after a lot of title fights.
Terra.com: The fight with Rashad was easier than you would imagine?
Lyoto Machida: The fight was very hard, regardless the fact it was a short fight. In our division any strike can finish the fight. The fight was very strategical. In the beginning I didn't expose myself, neithere did him. In the first opportunity I could catch him. The fight was very strategical and hard. He wasn't giving me any gaps to attack. I've just commented with my brother that the guy is a bad ass.
Terra.com: When you saw Rashad knocked out and realized that you were the new UFC LHW champion, what was your first thought?
Lyoto Machida: In that moment I just didn't believe in what I was seeing. I thought "whoa, I really won". I didn't believe on that. It was just like a dream! The the time was passing by and I saw him standing up, and I saw everything around me and the I've realized I was the champion. But when I KOed him, I didn't get it.
Terra.com: What did you hear from Yoshizo (his father and master) when the fight ended?
Lyoto Machida: He said "Congratulations, let's keep fighting like that!". He just said that. He doesn't talk too much.
Terra.com: What was your hardest fight in UFC?
Lyoto Machida: It's hard to say, because every fight had its own difficulty leve. Some fights were harder, some fights were not so hard. I think the fight against Tito Ortiz was the hardest. There was the psychological factor. He was having some troubles with Dana and had the crowd support, they even shouted his name. Everything for me was new. At the end of fight he almost submitted me. He locked a triangle. I felt like everything was fading out but I wanted to escape from there very bad. Then he got my arm. My arm got injured for a week after the fight but my will to escape were bigger than that.
Terra.com: Did Dana talk to you alone after the fight? What did he say?
Lyoto Machida: Well, he just saluted me for the title. He said he was shocked with the Machida Karate. He was like he wasn't believing in what just happened. But he didn't talk too much.
Terra.com: Did the UFC invited you to be a coach in TUF? Why did you refuse?
Lyoto Machida: I didn't refuse. Actually they said my English is not good enough so they said whenever I improve my English then they will invite me again.
Terra.com: Before you last fight Rampage compared you to a cheetah because according him you only rund around the ring. He even said if he was the UFC president he would never give you a title shot because the lack of excitement your style has. After two consecutive knockouts, what is your answer to Rampage?
Lyoto Machida: I respect his opinion. Actually I don't care what they think about me. I would like to face him, I would like to test my technique with his technique then we could see who is the best fighter. He already proved he is an awesome fighter but I do believe in my style/technique.
Terra.com: Rampage always trashtalks about you and your style. Does it bother you?
Lyoto Machida: Not at all, this sport is professional. Every single person has his very own opinion. He is a guy who does a lot of marketing, he likes that, trashtalking, insulting, he promotes himself doing stuff like that. I'm the opposite. I'm a quiet fighter. I know I'm not like he says (boring) and it doesn't affect me, I just get stronger.
Terra.com: Rampage opted to fight Rashad before fighting you. Do you think he is gaining more time to get ready for you?
Lyoto Machida: I think he did this only because the TUF. The fact that both coaches have to fight each other is a consequence. Due the fact I'm not taking part in this TUF he will face Rashad. Everyone in this sport wants to fight every other fighter in his division and they wanna fight me because the belt. It's just a matter of contract. Rampage will have to fight me sometime...
Terra.com: Do you think in a fight against Rampage, do you think he will require an harder training than you had when you were training for Rashad?
Lyoto Machida: Technically I'll have to change my strategy because Rampage has other fight style. In the physical view is the same training I do for a five round fight. Rampage is a guy who protects himself very nicely, has an hard chin but I believe in what I'm doing.
Terra.com: When your training to the fight against Shogun starts?
Lyoto Machida: Actually it have already started. I'm training hard since last week. But my training starts like this: I push hard in the training basis to relax a little bit in the end. I'm developing my strenght, power and speed to be very well prepared in the day of the fight. Sometime ago I was used to think that two months of training were enought but now I see I have to train everytime.
Terra.com: Your strategy against Shogun will be the knockout?
Lyoto Machida: It's true I'll always look for my main style which is the striking and I'll be always trying to finish the fight before the bell. So I'll look for a KO but always preparing myself to fight in the ground. Even more when we talk about Shogun who is a great fighter who was the Pride champion and proved that is a very dangerous guy.
Terra.com: What are the strongest points of Shogun?
Lyoto Machida: I think Shogun dominates all the four aspects of a fight. He is good at striking, he is good taking people down, he has a strong psychological game and he has an accomplished ground game. It'll be a very hard fight for me and for him.
Terra.com: Shogun was more tested in the ground than you. Are you afraid to grapple with him?
Lyoto Machida: Not at all. Nowadays I see myself training very hard from all the sides, I'm training a lot ground game and lot of takedowns. I don't want suprises. I know how good Shogun is but I believe in my style and in everything I'm doing.
Terra.com: Is there any difference to fight other Brazilian or a foreign fighter?
Lyoto Machida: Honestly I think in this sport it will always happen. First because Brazilians are among the best, second because there is the professional side. When you step the ring every fighter will be defending his own flag. I defend my name, my state and my country. So does Shogun.
Terra.com: You said you would like to fight Brock Lesnar. Do you think to move up to Heavyweights someday, to face a new challenge?
Lyoto Machida: I love challenges. I always saw Lesnar like a supernatural guy, he is strong, fast, he is learning very fast the secrets of fight. I see Lesnar like a great challenge for me in the future, an opportunity to prove myself. It's the challenge that makes a fighter to set a strategy, to envolve/improve his game. I wanna test my game against him, I wanna see if my game fits against an athlete like him. It's a personal challenge to see how I can test me against a guy like Lesnar. I think he is a great fighter, a great champion but I would like to do this in the future. Two or four years from now when I'll be more experienced. Now it's time to think on keeping my belt.
Terra.com: Is there any other heavyweight fighter you would like to fight? Talking about other orgs as well...
Lyoto Machida: No... only Lesnar.
Terra.com: Do you think you are attracting a new kind of people to MMA with your fight style?
Lyoto Machida: Yes, I do because I don't follow the standards. Usually the fighters come from boxing, muay thai and jiu-jitsu. Not me. I come from Karate, a more traditional martial art, an art where respect rules. So the Karate people, Kung-Fu people, Tae Kwon Do people, arts which has the respect philosophy are identifying theirselves with my image as a fighter.
Terra.com: Pitbull will face Georges St.Pierre and Brazil might own the third UFC belt among the five divisions. Do you think Brazil has the best fighters in the world?
Lyoto Machida: Yes because MMA come from Brazil. Brazil is the greatest spot of fighters. A lot of foreign fighters learned the fight fundaments with Brazilians. Brazil is a big fighter factory.
Terra.com: Now your focus is to be considered the best P4P fighter in the world?
Lyoto Machida: My focus is to keep the belt with me. This thing to be the best P4P must be a consequence of a good work that will make me champion for years.
Terra.com: Do you still believe that drinking your own urine bring you benefits? Did you drink it in your last fight?
Lyoto Machida: It's an old habit from my father. He made us feel very comfortable about it, he said we could make it if we wanted to. If we didn't want to it would be ok anyway. I do believe on it, I witnessed a lot of situations of people who got healed from diabetes and a lot of other diseases. I read articles that talks about the benefits of the habit. The first urine of the day comes full of vitamins that we drunk in the previous day. It's a way to reabsorb what was wasted. But i'm not radical. I just do this when I'm training. Barely I get sick and when I drink it I feel better.
WAR Machida!!!
Wow, talk about being diplomatic! The interviewer tried about 15 different questions about Rampage to try & piss off Machida, but he didn't even flinch!
Man Machida is a cool dude. His style is growing on me too. Seems like a good guy to have as the champ for a while.
Id love to be on his team for tuf
urine therapy increases diplomacy.
I'm impressed as well. Which goes to show not all top level fighters have to bath in negativity to make themselves feel better/inspired. Its all mental with Mach, art, all that stuff, I love it.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go drink a mighty glass of urine. Screw morning coffee, it sounds like urine is where its at...
It's nice to see Machida getting the respect he deserves. I have been a fan of his since K-1. That guy is gonna be like be like Anderson.. He will have the belt as long as he wants it.
Nice interview. I'm definitely a machida fan but sorry to tell him that if Alves wins the belt he'll be dropping it off in Hillsboro:wink:

Samaritan Woman...That story (mini-sermon) also tells me
Samaritan Woman...That story (mini-sermon) also tells me more about Bishop McKenzie as an African American Woman Leader which is why I listened to the interview in the first place. I hope you follow up with her in the future when she's ready to talk about her experience in Africa and focus on her. In my opinion, I didn't learn anything from her reaction to Jeremiah Wright that was worth cutting the samaritan women segment. Thank you for asking.

So that deeper core of someone's theology is more
So that deeper core of someone's theology is more important in this case than the (over)covered Jeremiah Wright issue. I only know that if Krista casually says, "Vashti McKenzie knew Jeremiah Wright for many years," it might beg the question of what Vashti McKenzie thinks about all this. Although, I suppose her opinion is quite clear in the Samaritan woman's story, too, and that's probably closer to her heart and more meaningful in her life than the controversy du jour. She did write a book around the Samaritan woman's story.

I really appreciate the transparency of your journalistic
I really appreciate the transparency of your journalistic process, and your desire to provide meaningful conversation in all of your shows. I believe that the Jeremiah Wright material is important and has enduring value. I, for one, finally grasped how the African-American church experiences and understands the Gospel. That did put some of his more seemingly outrageous comments from the pulpit into context. (It was, after all, his ad-lib comments in Washington DC at a press club that got him into trouble, not so much the comments he has made from the pulpit). That alone would make a great show. I do understand how challenging it must have been to bring racism, politics, church and Bishop McKenzie all into the context of one show, without shorting anyone. In my view, their was some redundancy in the Wright material in the final cut, and it was obvious that Bishop McKenzie didn't want to pursue that conversation. A little more editing there might be worthwhile if the show is re-aired at a later date (a different musical score would help, too), without sacrificing the entire segment. The piece that could be cut almost totally, to make room for the Samaritan woman, is the Rev. Cone material. On your web site, there is a link to that full conversation, which is more worthwhile than the snippet that ended up in the final cut. I really would love to hear at least two more shows that this one inspired-- how the African-American church understands the Gospel (including hearing from Rev Wright himself) and, most of all, an entire show about sacred story in the Christian tradition. Rev McKenzie has deep insights, and so do people like Carolyn Myss and Father Richard Rohr, both of whom have deepened my understanding considerably. With a teacher who can take you deep into meaning, past institutionalized theology and doctrine, the stories as lived experience are truly amazing and transformational.

Some good comments. I was a bit surprised at the mention
Some good comments. I was a bit surprised at the mention of cutting the James Cone audio. The whole interview with him, admittedly, is more interesting than just that one clip, but we wanted to get some "official" definition of black theology in there. It ties into that point about the African American reading of the Gospel--that understanding was something we explored earlier this year as we were researching the topic, but we never found the right voice for it, unfortunately. I'm glad we have some more names to look into. Thanks for those suggestions.

Out of all the theologians I've ever listened to, Father
Out of all the theologians I've ever listened to, Father Rohr is most gifted in his ability to articulate the original intent of the "gospel to the oppressed," which the African-American church hears in a way that perhaps is more sensitive than the dominant culture, or the "Pharisees" and the "rich" that Jesus also addressed. "Black theology" as articulated by Dr. King contains those core truths, but I'm not so sure the syncretism of Rev. Cone represents it in the same way. It's different. In contrast to the inclusiveness that Jesus revealed as he walked around as love-in-action or "Living Water," and the inclusiveness Dr. King sought, the theology Rev. Cone articulates seems to have many exclusive elements in it, beginning with having "African American" in the name of the church. What does that mean? Is it social inclusiveness on African-American terms, or exclusiveness on Malcolm X terms? Is it about justice, or reverse racism? Is it a declaration that only the "black church" really understands the Gospel, and the white infidels don't? If that is so, how do they explain the sexism that Bishop McKenzie articulated? I'd like to know more. It really seems that you have bumped into the tip of an iceberg here.

Shiraz-- one more thing. Maybe what you call "black
Shiraz-- one more thing. Maybe what you call "black theology" as articulated by Rev.Cone and Rev Wright is not theology so much as psychology, or even therapy, with a theological driver. It also retains values and traditions that otherwise would be lost in mainstream culture. It reminds me of the indignant anger of leaders of other groups that historically have been oppressed, such as Native American authors Dr. Jack Forbes at UC Davis and Vine Deloria,who wrote "God is Red." Native American churches are also clearly recognized by name alone. When the oppression has included genocide and perfect cruelty, it is no wonder that even the scholarly Dr Forbes, and clergy like Rev. Cone, speculate openly that "there is something wrong with white people." I would reframe it as "humans are slow to recognize the perverse effects of domination culture and politics." But there is more. Everywhere we look, from the caste system in India to all forms of slavery, sexism and tribal violence around the world, religion has had little power to change human behavior. America began as groups of the oppressed seeking freedom,and look what happened. The story of the Samaritan woman gives us the needed remedy. After she threw off the chains of society's power over her, and saw herself for who she truly was, she didn't run back to the village to take revenge on those who had hurt her. She ran to gather them up and bring them to the well, so that they could learn the same thing.

We often tend to use shorthand during our production
We often tend to use shorthand during our production process, and you caught me using some when I talked about "black theology." I think we're referring to a specific type of socially critical preaching that we've come to associate with civil rights leaders, and African American preachers before that and after that. There's a broader spectrum than just Cone. He represents some slice of that spectrum that seemed to be helpful for some listeners.
"Theological driver" and therapy, yes, I think many forms of what we'd call ideology have that effect. It becomes so specific to its audience, though. And at surface value, that seems more immediately useful. This thing about the Samaritan woman's story is that it does indeed get us thinking not about "my identity," but moving past that, the exclusivism, so something more useful at a human level.
I'm glad for icebergs!

There seems to be a very different take on prophecy in
There seems to be a very different take on prophecy in Jewish and Muslim circles. I may be wrong, but I was told that in Islam prophets are perfect and that Muhammed was flawless. The idea of a flawless prophet just doesn't exist in Judaism. No one is flawless in the Tanach. I just can't relate to a flawless prophet. I bring this up because Krista started with the Abrahamic faiths and prophecy.
Jerimaiah Wright went on to say that Farrakhan was not talking about Jews, in his famous comment about Judaism being a gutter religion, he onlty meant Zionists. This was Wright's idea of reaching to to Jews. First of all it's a little like saying you like Black people, you just don't like the 97% of Black people that are going to vote for Obama.

To your first point, I think the more traditional
To your first point, I think the more traditional interpretation in Islam is (and I'm not an Islamic scholar) that the prophets were people of extraordinary piety, and it was this piety that led them to be chosen by God to perform a specific mission. I don't know how a billion-plus Muslims work with that to make it relatable, but a lot of progressive Muslim commentators like to point out that, say in the case of Muhammad, that we know more about his human life than about most other religious figures, that he's portrayed in a more human light, as a family man, with his kids, with his friends, etc. And how I understand the Sunnah, the teachings of the Prophet, is that they're meant to replicate the human actions that Muhammad did on a daily basis, as a means of attaining that higher piety. So they are, in that sense, something very human, something that is attainable. The more idealized interpretation of prophets is, I think, about striving to follow their example. Maybe it doesn't work for everyone. For myself, it's not something I really think about on a daily basis, though a lot of people do; that's where the derive the strength of their faith. I look at the prophets' ability to shake their societies out of some kind of moral complacency. It's about purpose, and that I can relate to.
As for Jeremiah Wright and Farrakhan, this is a bit harder for me to talk about, since we didn't aim to do a complete treatment on the theology of Jeremiah Wright, so I'll take it from a slightly different angle. There's a lot of casual racism that I find really upsetting, when people say, "Obama's not a Muslim." I think this is an absolutely preposterous way of trying to explain his religious convictions and identity. Colin Powell's been the only high-profile political figure, to my knowledge, who's come out and said, "So what if he were Muslim?" I don't see how the American political establishment's implicit disregard for Muslims is going to help their efforts in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. So getting back to your point, if Jeremiah Wright was making racist remarks, that should be criticized, no question. This issue of race is going to be something we aren't going to completely explore in just that one program. There's more we need to talk about.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MUSLIMS IN AMERICA:
THE FACE
No other event has affected Islamic Culture and Muslims here in America as we enter the 21st century as did the events of 11 Sept.2001. Likewise, nothing greater that the Islamic worlds "collective" response will ensure our future as a culture and meaningful way of life here in America. To date the 'FACE and VOICE' of that collective response here in America has been foreign. Perhaps by design or chance, most Americans view Islam and Muslims as something foreign, something non-traditional. We here at the INNER CULTURAL EVCHANGE INSTITUTE believe in order to affect serious and meaningful social reform in the presentation and representation of Islam in America that face and voice must become as diverse as the mosaic we call America. We believe that entering the 21st century Islam in America needs to be DEFINED 'in America to Americans by Americans for Americans. In order to dismantle the idiosyncrasies deeply endemic to American Culture.
Call it what you will, racism, Islamic phobia etc. there exist a need to define Islam in American in a langue that is understandable and yet non-threating to (absent the hyperbole, fear inducing phobia associated with main stream media and governmental propaganda) fundamental American values. We here at the Inner Cultural Exchange Institute are a social activist educational non-profit org. founded in 2003 by Americans who are committed to the Moral Rebirth of the Abrahamic Traditions( the Jewish, Christian and Islamic moral traditions)in reforming that segment of American society commonly referred to as Popular Culture. In promoting the growth and development of non-violent means of exchanging educational, economic, social and technological information between these three (3) most dominate moral traditions in America society. Specifically, to cultivate in what is commonly referred to as American Popular Culture (its most dominate and visible expression today being called Hip Hop Culture) a viable means of affecting social and moral reform between these three (3) often contentious traditions.
Our fundamental objective (our vision) being "Enjoining Social Good and Eradicating Social Evil" as defined by the larger society to wit: traditional American Judaic, Christian, Islamic moral values. Our methodology being the Rebirth of the Moral Balance embodied in the Abrahamic Traditions upon which rest Moral Authority in America. Without doubt the 21st century begins here in America with the culture of Hip Hop (popular culture) being the most powerful, most influentional, most recognized expression of American Cultural life styles. The demographics are staggering and cover every statistical category imaginable. Income, educational and career opportunities, multicultural, multiethnic, multireligious to name afew. And yet the Culture as a vehicle for meaningful and serious moral and social reform in the larger society is powerless, ineffective and inept due primarily to its Moral Bankruptcy. The culture in spite of its much success in the areas of business, music, the arts and entertainment also happens to represent the most immoral of America's subcultures.*(see notes) It is this 'Moral Bankruptcy' we
Here at the ICE Institute believe the most EFFECTIVE PRESENTATION of ISLAM can
And will in fact REFORM AMERICA'S approach to Muslim's and the religion of Islam.*(see notes) as we believe it is through Moral Superiority (enjoin social good and forbidding social ills) that the true battle between these contending traditions will be won. We are in fact in a War of ideas contrary to what's often promoted as a war on terror.*(see notes)
The late 90's saw the Culture of Hip Hop reach the eyes and ears of world-wide youth and young adults unlike any cultural phenomenon before and yet this segment of the American landscape is TOTALLY IGNORED in efforts to reform America's perception of Muslims and Islam. *(see notes) your approach to young people.
We say with total and absolute commitment to our vision we intend to do 'in and for '
The Culture of Hip Hop what the Moral Majority did for right-wing Christian Conserveritism here in America in the 70's and 80's *(see notes). To accomplish this we need your support. Without doubt the largest segment of the 'Face of Islam' in America we spoke of before are young people under the age of 40. Second generation 'IMMIGRANTS' BORN IN AMERICA, American Muslims the larger society still calls Foreign. These Muslim Youth are in FACT American's youth who's Cultural Expression, Langue; dress etc. is the face of the Hip Hop Culture in America. Members who in fact 'identify' with the Popular Culture of Hip Hop more so than Islamic or traditional American culture. They speak, dress, embrace and represent the larger American Popular Cultural lifestyle commonly referred to as Hip Hop. And yet in our approach to redefining and presenting Islam in a non-threating, non-violent culturally inclusive light to the masses in America . We ignore even our own Muslim Youth who have clearly abandoned traditional Islamic Culture for the more' POPULAR' American Culture.*(see notes) We here at the ICE Institute believe this is a grave mistake. The stated 'generational gap' between first and second generational immigrant Muslims is a Cultural divide that can only be address through a langue, message and lifestyle the youth and young adults understand, embrace and more importantly 'TRUST'. Their Culture of choice: Hip Hop Culture.
We believe that enormous opportunity for growth and movement towards cross cultural understanding and more acceptances of Muslims and Islamic Culture can exist through second generation youth and young adult immigrant American Muslims' embracing both their Islamic and American identities. We believe this opportunity for outreach needs to be cultivated. WE understand the belief that POLICY can best be influenced at the academic level and fully support this approach as well. However, we are firmly committed to the reality of Culture always being more important than politics.

|Sustainability Math a resource for teachers interested in sustainability curriculum for their mathematics courses. Contributors are welcome.
| NOTE: All data in Pfaff-Calc was updated in January 2016
The goal of this page is to be a collaborative central resource for sustainability information and curriculum materials for mathematics. In order to provide some focus we will define sustainability and sustainability education. The original U.N. commission that laid out the concepts of sustainability was tasked with developing a "global agenda for change". cite In the language of the time, the focus was on sustainable development - that is sustained change to meet the needs and aspirations of people everywhere, especially the poor. More recently the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) DESD at a glance states, "Sustainable development, a constantly evolving concept, is thus the will to improve everyone's quality of life, including that of future generations, by reconciling economic growth, social development and environmental protection." cite
We propose that it is more useful to cast sustainability into a short set of key declarative statements (an axiomatized theory) that can serve as a starting point for agreement, and as a basis for developing mutually agreed upon courses of actions and education initiatives. Recognizing that the concept of sustainability serves more as a compass showing a direction for change, rather than serving as an aspirational goal or stopping point, we start with the following four statements:

AMD today announced a roadmap of near- and mid-term computing solutions that harness the best characteristics of both the x86 and ARM ecosystems, called "ambidextrous computing." The cornerstone of this roadmap is the announcement of AMD's 64-bit ARM architecture license for the development of custom high-performance cores for high-growth markets. Today's announcement also provides a forward-looking glimpse into AMD's development plans to deliver truly unmatched ambidextrous computing and graphics performance using a shared, flexible infrastructure to enable its customers to blaze new paths of innovation for the embedded, server and client markets as well as semi-custom solutions.
"Before today, AMD was the only company in the world to deliver high performance and low-power x86 with leadership graphics. AMD now takes a bold step forward and has become the only company that can provide high-performance 64-bit ARM and x86 CPU cores paired with world-class graphics," said
The market for ARM- and x86-based processors is expected to grow to more than
AMD is uniquely positioned as the only company delivering differentiated solutions capable of addressing the breadth of this market. This is the first time a major processor provider has created the IP path to allow others to leverage innovation across both ARM and x86 ecosystems.
AMD's ambidextrous computing roadmap includes:
K12 - A new high-performance, low-power ARM-based core that takes deep advantage of AMD's ARM architectural license, extensive 64-bit design expertise, and a core development team led by Chief CPU Architect
"At ARM we are dedicated to working with partners who revolutionize and transform experiences everywhere from sensors to servers," said
AMD today also publicly demonstrated for the first time its 64-bit ARM-based AMD Opteron™ A-Series processor, codenamed "

(Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) - Seventeen-year-old Jeanette Rodriguez (Coral Springs, Fla. / USA Judo National Training Site at North Miami) finished her first senior World Championships with two wins under her belt in the 48kg division, but in a pool with a six-time World Champion, she would have needed a third to guarantee advancing into further competition.
Rodriguez, a bronze medalist during her last trip to Rio at the Pan American Games, won the first match of the day when Claudia Gonzalez (NCA) committed three penalties.
Rodriguez was the aggressor in her next match as well against Petra Steinbauer (AUT), throwing Steinbauer twice for koka (smallest points) score and earning a third koka from a penalty committed by Steinbauer.
In the third round, Jeanette Rodriguez scored two kokas off throws and another off a penalty to beat Petra Steinbauer (AUT) and advance to her next match against 2007 Paris Super World Cup Champion Shugen Wu (CHN).
Wu received a penalty early in the match, giving Rodriguez a koka lead, but Rodriguez tied the match a minute later with a penalty of her own. The two went back and forth until Wu caught Rodriguez with a throw for ippon (instant win) with just over a minute left in the match.
Rodriguez needed Wu to win her next match against Ryoko Tani (JPN) who is going for her seventh World Championship title. Tani entered the match coming off a Golden Score round against two-time reigning World silver medalist Frederique Jossinet (FRA) where they both had two penalties each in regulation until Tani threw Jossinet mid-way through overtime.
Tani picked up the first penalty in her match with Wu, but Wu was given a penalty with four seconds remaining in their match to end the two to Golden Score again during which Tani threw Wu to win the match.
The loss eliminated Rodriguez from the tournament.
Taraje Williams-Murray (Bronx, N.Y. / NYAC / Spartak Sports Club) came into the World Championships as a veteran of the 2005 event where he earned the highest placing on the men's side, finishing ninth.
Williams-Murray opened the day by throwing Joao Cardoso (POR) three times for a koka, waza-ari (half-point) and yuko (quarter-point) before throwing Cardoso again for ippon with a fireman's carry.
In his second match, Williams-Murray led by a penalty and a yuko scored off a fireman's carry throughout his match against Elio Vede (ITA) whose only score against the American came when Williams-Murray was penalized for stalling at the end of the match.
Williams-Murray and Nestor Khergiani (GEO) were encouraged to start the attacks early in the third round when they were both hit with stalling penalties 20 seconds into the match. Khergiani responded by throwing Williams-Murray for a waza-ari and moving straight into a pin. The pin was called off after 10 seconds, giving Khergiani a koka score, but he locked it in again to score a waza-ari and end the match.
Khergiani won his next match, advancing to the semifinals and carrying Williams-Murray through to the repechage where he went in for a throw against Sergei Nokikov (BLR), but got countered and thrown for ippon in the first 30 seconds.
Djamaldin Aliev (Greenwood Village, Colo. / Denver Judo) fought in the men's Open division, advancing to the second round after his opponent didn't show and then losing to Bama Bor (HUN) by three penalties to two. Bor lost his next match, eliminating Aliev.
Heidi Moore (Englewood, Colo. / Denver Judo) was thrown for yuko, waza-ari and ippon by Idalis Ortiz (CUB) in the women's open division. Ortiz lost her next match, eliminating Moore

Let's clean up Minot
Christopher R. Carlson, Minot
On my way to my favorite fishing hole just this past Saturday, I saw lots and lots of garbage that littered the streets of Minot. I cannot believe that this is happening to our city, it just makes me upset. Why can't people dispose of their garbage in the proper receptacle?
The city should take into consideration to form a cleanup committee and form cleanup crews to go into different parts of the city and clean up the trash and get our city just a little bit cleaner. I think that would be an awesome idea.
