Carmelo Anthony gets blamed for lots of things that are not his fault. Just ask him if you do not believe me. One thing in particular he has been unfairly ridiculed for recently is Jeremy Lin leaving New York for the Houston Rockets.
Despite glossing Lin the Knicks' Rudy Rudiger in February, and then drowning out the tidal wave of enthusiasm for Linsanity by simply stepping back onto the court, Melo said he always has been a big supporter of Jeremy Lin. Still is too, even if supporting Jeremy now means getting behind his decision to leave.
This according to the New York Post over the weekend, from Carmelo on Lin (via Larry Brown Sports):
"Believe it or not, I was one of the true supporters of Jeremy Lin," Anthony said, according to the New York Post's Marc Berman. "Whether it was staying or going to Houston. That's not something I go out and brag and broadcast about. After he signed with Houston, I talked to him. He texted me, It was a great text. What he sent me meant a lot.
"Money talks, at the end of the day," Anthony said, per the Post. "Houston threw something out there that he couldn't refuse. The Knicks organization didn't feel like they had to match it. I'm proud of him, happy for him. Just to see where he came from, see where he started and ending up back in Houston the team that let him go and put us in a position to let us acquire him. He's back out there in a totally different situation and settlement. I wish him all the luck."
Melo termed the contract offer Lin received from the Rockets "ridiculous," though it wasn't clear if he was speaking about the entire 3-year $25.1 million deal, or just the "poison pill" third year worth nearly $15 million.
"It is what it is," Anthony said, per the New York Daily News. "Anything that happens in New York they blame me. I accept that. I don't really worry about it to be honest with you."
I kind of want to see that great text that Lin sent him. I also wonder if Melo texted him back. Usually you say: we exchanged texts, and it was great. Or, we spoke for a few minutes and had a great conversation.
Carmelo said: he texted me, it was a great text. I guess he probably responded, I suppose it is just funny to think maybe he did not.
It is also funny to hear Anthony call Lin's contract ridiculous. It is ridiculous really, he's right. But he is wrong about thinking anything bad that happens in New York is his fault though. Anything that goes wrong anywhere is Carmelo Anthony's fault, actually. Not just New York.

Bahraini national record holder Eunice Kirwa did it again, easily breaking the Gifu Seiryu Half Marathon women's course record in 1:08:55 to win by over two minutes. Kenyan Rebecca Kangogo Chesir was the only one to put up some competition, running with Kirwa through 5 km in 15:49 before dropping back to take 2nd in 1:11:09. Formerly Japan-based Ethiopian Betelhem Moges started much more conservatively, over 30 seconds behind the lead pair at 5 km but closing to take 3rd close enough to record the same 1:11:09 finish time as Chesir. Japan's Rio Olympics marathon medal hopeful Kayoko Fukushi (Team Wacoal) started in the 2nd pack with Moges but fell far off pace in the second half, taking 6th overall in 1:12:04 and just holding off Yuka Ando (Suzuki Hamamatsu AC) for top Japanese honors.
In the men's race Kenyan Kenneth Keter pushed a lead group of nine, eight Africans plus Mongolian national record holder Ser-Od Bat-Ochir (Team NTN) through a fast first 5 km before the competition faded, but in the second half Keter paid for his early work as he fell to 4th overall. Running him down were Japan-based Kenyans Patrick Muendo Mwaka (Team Aisan Kogyo) and Paul Kuira (Team Konica Minolta), with 2007 Osaka World Championships 10000 m bronze medalist Martin Mathathi of Kenya coming on strong in the last 5 km to take 3rd. Mwaka and Kuira were side-by-side through 20 km, but in a reverse of Kuira's win at last year's Marugame Half Mwaka had the stronger kick to score the win by 3 seconds in 1:01:51.
Mathathi was 18 seconds behind Kuira in 1:02:12. His former Suzuki Hamamatsu AC teammate Yusei Nakao (Smiley Angel AC) ran in a Japanese chase pack with Yuki Kawauchi (Saitama Pref. Gov't) and Genta Yodogawa (Team Aisan Kogyo), all three working together to try to reel in Bat-Ochir. It came down to a track sprint finish, Bat-Ochir hanging on to 9th in 1:03:37 with Nakao taking the top Japanese spot for the third year in a row at 10th in 1:03:38. Kawauchi marked a season best 1:03:39 but missing his goal of a top ten finish at 11th, knocked out of the top ten in the last kick by Nakao for the second time in three years, with Yodogawa right behind at 12th in 1:03:40. Nakao is scheduled to run next month's Grandma's Marathon in the U.S.A. with support from JRN.

Degrees don't matter anymore; skills do.
Geege Schuman stashed this in Education
Stashed in: Education!, Harvard
As the cost of a college education skyrockets it seems prudent if not necessary to improve education at all levels.
The good news is that a total transformation of education is coming, whether the educational establishment likes it or not. I draw my account of this transformation of education from two prophetic books by Harvard Business School professor Clay Christensen and his co-authors:
- Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns by Clay Christensen, Curtis Johnson and Michael Horn
- The Innovative University: Changing the DNA of Higher Education from the Inside Out by Clay Christensen and Henry J. Eyring.
The road ahead is clear: the potential in each student can be unlocked by combining the power of computers, software, and the internet with the human touch of a teacher-as-coach to motivate that student to work hard at learning. Technology brings several elements to the equation:
customized lessons adapted to each student's individual learning style at a cost that won't break the bank
- lectures from some of the most talented instructors in the world (such as this course in financial asset pricing by the impressive John Cochrane and many other economics classes by Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok)
- the kind of software motivational tricks that make it so hard for kids to pull away from video games
- flexibility for students to learn at their own pace.
But since motivation—the desire to learn—is so important, a human teacher to act as coach is also crucial. In particular, without a coach, the flexibility for students to learn at their own pace can be a two-edged sword, because it makes it easy to procrastinate.
In the end, none of this will be hard. The technology and content for that technology are already good and rapidly improving. And although it is a bit much to expect someone to be both a great and inspirational coach and to be at the cutting edge of an academic field, the number of great athletic coaches and trainers at all levels indicates that, on its own, being an inspirational coach is not that rare. Being an inspirational coach in an academic setting is not quite the same thing, but I am willing to bet that it, too, is blessedly common. By having the cutting-edge knowledge from the best scientists and savants in the world built into software and delivered in online lectures, all a community college has to do to deliver a world-class education is to hire teachers who know how to motivate students.

Enjoy freshly extracted juice from the comfort of your home with the new Breville Cold Fountain Pro Juicer. Heat can be the enemy of nutrition, so the new Breville Cold Fountain Pro Juicer transfers less heat then a cold press juicer to maximize vitamins and minerals.
Extra Wide Feed Chute
Almost all Breville juicers are designed to juice whole fruit without chopping or slicing. Some juicers also have Breville's unique extra wide chutes that are another 25% larger (85mm diameter) to accept even bigger fruit.
Micromesh Filter
A thinner mesh reduces the surface area between the fruit and the cup. These unique Italian made filter baskets have almost 40,000 tiny pores.
Variable Speed Control
Soft fruits extract more juice at lower speeds, while hard fruits extract more juice at higher speeds. The variable speed dial allows you to precisely control the juicing speed to get the most juice out of every fruit or vegetable.
External Pulp Ejection
All Breville juice extractors automatically eject the dry pulp into a collection basket while juicing. Most Breville juicers also have this pulp collection basket located externally for easy clean up and minimal down time when juicing many litres at a time.
Easy Clean Design
Smooth, rounded parts without food traps prevent pulp from sticking and make rinsing under the tap fast and simple. The easy clean models also come with a specially designed scrubbing brush to clean the filter mesh quickly and easily.

No Child Proof Lids ~Meeting~
Father was thrilled, he could hardly contain himself.. he didn't know where The Plains of Megiddo was but, with GPS and all.. they would get there on time.
He sat back and absorbed the information that came to him. It wasn't a part of his character to smile but father was comical. He darted about, planning and thinking he had control, he knew nothing.. he had no control over anything.. it would be as it would be.
A movement, just out of the corner of his eye.. there in the shadow.. she stepped into the light, fear.. fear but, it was not of him but for him. He did smile, she walked over and sat at his feet. He put his little hand upon her head and she cried, bitter tears, she grabbed the other hand and kissed it. "I did not understand before, please forgive me, is there any time left?" He didn't speak, instead he raised her head, wiped the tears from her eyes and kissed her forehead.
Time was here, he looked out over his audience, the malevolence, the hatred, the fear.. it permeated the air, it hung there between the smiles, winks, hand shakes, kisses and pats on the back. between the immorality, murder, genocide, patricide, matricide, the dishonesty, back stabbing, covert plots, between the coos, the revolutions, the wars, the plagues, the knowledge, the stupidity, between chaos and anarchy, he could see it all and he wondered.. were they worth it?
He climbed the stairs, he stood at the podium, he looked at them. They paid him no attention as they had always done as they thought they would always do, they didn't want to hear his words, they would be happy to continue in their lives of lies and disgust...
He opened his mouth... The earth shook, a great shaking, yet not one thing moved, they were struck dumb... but, their sight had been enhanced and for one moment they could see, clearly, very clearly and they began to weep, the ones that wept, left The Plains of Meggido. Maybe for them.. maybe.

Golf, books, Phillies highlight Page 2's Jeopardy!
Welcome back to another edition of Page 2 Jeopardy!, the quiz that tests your knowledge of sports, pop culture and assorted trivia. Please remember to phrase your responses in the form of a question.
(Correct questions at the end of the quiz.)
1. Answer: Following a wrenching implosion on the final day of the Masters, this golfer suffered the added indignity of misplacing his golf clubs en route to his next tournament in Malaysia.
2. Answer: Of none, one or 537, the number of books that Kemba Walker, who is graduating from UConn in three years, says he's ever read cover to cover.
3. Answer: In a move that will no doubt make her husband a favorite among Phillies fans, this player's wife said of the team's supporters, "I hate the fans. It is bad enough that they bother us during the season, but they will not leave us alone in December when we go out to eat. We stayed here during the off-season last year, but we will be going to California this year. There must be something particularly bad about Phillies fans because all the players leave in the off-season."
4. Answer: Mixed martial artist Cindy "Battlecat" Dandois, who beat Jorina Baars with a technical knockout on March 19, had to withdraw from her June 18 matchup against Gina Carano because of this extenuating circumstance.
5. Answer: During a recent concert in Austin, Texas, the lead singer of this popular rock band, who is also an Oklahoma fan, elicited a chorus of boos by saying, "We love Austin, except during football season."
Question 1: Who is Rory McIlroy?
Question 2: What is one?
Question 3: Who is Ryan Madson?
Question 4: What is she's three and a half months pregnant?
Question 5: Who are the Kings of Leon?

She loves me a lot and because of the abuse I suffered before she adopted me she was the only human I trusted and she knew She was the only one who could make this decision for Me. She knows I'm with Rebby and Waiting for Her. I know she will miss me a lot until she sees me again. She will Love Me Forever!!!

Alex Polizzi will return to Princesa Yaiza
In last Saturday's Telegraph, Alex Polizzi headed to the family-friendly destination of Lanzarote, and the luxurious Princesa Yaiza hotel. In her review, Alex wrote:
"Although we found the scale overwhelming at first, I don't think we have ever experienced such a slick operation; and this is slick in a good way. Despite the sheer number of guests, the maintenance is extraordinary. There is not one leaf upon a pathway, or a sunbed out of place. Staff are universally enthusiastic, charming, helpful and well informed. Children are quickly identified by name. At no other hotel we've been to have the staff and management been so committed to the children's enjoyment."It is a million miles away from the chic places I once frequented in those increasingly unimaginable pre-child years, but it bridges the gap between what I need and what my children want in a more than acceptable way.I think we are going to return for Christmas."
The offer shown in the Telegraph was:
ITC Luxury Travel (01244 355 527; itcluxurytravel.co.uk) is offering a seven-night stay at Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort from £4,735 per family, based on two adults and two children sharing a family suite. The price includes daily breakfast, return economy-class flights with Monarch Airlines from London Gatwick, and private transfers.

NEW YORK The opening note of Bernd Alois Zimmermann's "Die Soldaten" has to be the most moving in opera when heard in David Pountney's production: The 974-seat bleacher containing the audience slowly starts to roll down train tracks in the Park Avenue Armory's Drill Hall, passing over a football field-length runway where most of the action takes place.
The innovative staging, first seen at Germany's RuhrTriennale in October 2006, opened Saturday night at the Lincoln Center Festival. It was fascinating.
A complicated 12-tone work, the opera is played by a 110-piece-orchestra, with the main section on the audience's left, a 16-person percussion group on the right and an on-stage jazz band thrown in. To keep the singers coordinated, a dozen video screens showing the conductor were mounted throughout the armory, which resembles a European train station.
When mounted at Bochum's Jahrhunderthalle -- a former gas plant -- the opera unfolded on a narrow stage about 150 yards long. Because the armory is about 30 yards shorter, this stage is a T-shape, and it was lit brilliantly at times in green and pink, transforming from houses to even a dance hall with a stained urinal. The audience moved down the hall at the start of the first act, and then retreated in stages until intermission. After the break, the bleacher remained in place for most of the third and fourth acts before sliding back and forth one more time.
Because of the unusual venue, the singers were right next to the audience, eliminating the usual distance created by a pit and a proscenium stage. It gave the violence more jarring impact. It also gave the sound a chance to float in the large overhead space, sometimes echoing, depending on how far away the audience was.
Based on Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz's 1776 play, the opera has 16 singing and 10 spoken roles. It debuted in Cologne in 1965, was given its U.S. premiere by the Opera Company of Boston in 1982 -- 12 years after Zimmermann committed suicide. The work resurfaced in a New York City Opera production nine years later.
Raw and nihilistic, the opera is about the fall of Marie, the daughter of a French merchant in Lille. She is in love with Stolzius, a cloth merchant, then is seduced by Desportes, a baron in the French military. Marie rejects warnings from her father about soldiers, winds up as the love object of a string of men, is raped and aimlessly walks the streets to brutal amplified music. At the end, her father doesn't recognize her, much as Sweeney Todd fails to comprehend that the beggar woman is his wife. Stolzius, meanwhile, poisons Desportes, then himself.
Most of the cast reprised the roles they sang in Bochum. Soprano Claudia Barainsky starred as Marie, managing the difficult leaps required by the score and the tricky balance between wildness and maintaining the audience's sympathy. Bass Claudio Otelli made a deep impact as Stolzius, and tenor Peter Hoare sang vibrantly as the oily Desportes.
There wasn't a weak spot in the cast. Bass Johann Tilli (Wesener) had an old-work sternness. Soprano Hanna Schwarz (Wesener's mother) and mezzo Kathryn Harries (Stolzius' mother) conveyed the family disfunction with authority. Mezzo Claudia Mahnke showed the vapidness of Charlotte, Marie's whiny sister.
Steven Sloane conducted the Bochum Symphony in an edgy, pulsating performance. The microphones attached the singers were somewhat obtrusive, probably because of the audience's proximity. And at times, the amplification was a bit jarring.
Pountney's staging, Robert Innes Hopkins' sets, Marie-Jeanne Lecca's costumes and Wolfgang Goebbel's lighting all were memorable. There are just four more performances through July 12.
Another RuhrTriennale staging is headed for the armory, an ornate building where some rooms were designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Oliver Messiaen's "Saint Francois D'Assise," conducted by Sylvain Cambreling, will be shown there from Dec. 12-22, 2009, as part of Gerard Mortier's first season as general manager of the New York City Opera.

Benny Reynolds (born March 5, 1936, in Twin Bridges, Montana) is a rodeo champion. Both his mother and father rode saddle broncs and his brothers also competed in rodeo.
Reynolds entered his first rodeo in Butte, Montana at age 6, where he rode one calf and was bucked-off the other calf. Reynolds was about 15 years old when he seriously began competing in rodeos. Improvement came with practice on his father's team of work horses--using them for both bareback and saddle bronc stock. That practice paid off when Reynolds went professional and joined the Rodeo Cowboys Association (now the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) in 1956. He went on to win 1958 RCA Rookie of the Year Award, competing in saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, bull riding and steer wrestling.
Reynolds was a guest contestant on the CBS-TV quiz show, Name That Tune in the late 1950s. While endorsing Wrangler Jeans and Tony Lama Boots, print advertising featuring Reynolds appeared regularly in such publications as Rodeo Sports News and The Western Horseman.
His most successful year in rodeo was 1961, when he won the World Champion All Around Cowboy title, $31,309, a saddle, a silver buckle, silver spurs and a life-sized fiberglass horse. He went on to win the 1966 Linderman Award, given to the contestant earning the most money in a combination of three or more rough stock and timed events.
In 1993, Reynolds was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs, Colorado for his accomplishments in All Around multiple rodeo event competition.
Today he ranches and puts up fencing in the mountains. At 74 years of age, he is still going at it with a witty cowboy attitude and spirit.

Chapter Twenty, Part Six: Gnossienne No. 1Mature
Murmurs like tidal pool ripples wash through the gathered.
"Is he all right?"
False humility.
"I think he's gone senile."
"Just wait; he usually provides a show. He's probably faking... whatever it is."
"Maybe he's contracted an alien disease!"
"I wouldn't be surprised. They say he sleeps with humans."
"I wouldn't let anyone of House Redloom hear you say that, Polluxina."
"Chen 7! Oh god we're all going to die!" The owner of this comment grabs up someone else's robe to cover her mouth.
"I'm not amused." the Doctor says suddenly, lowering the cadence of his voice until it is soft. His face is calm. His eyes drink the world and glisten like a new and mewling fawn. Then he opens his mouth again, and shatters it. "Does anyone care that we are in the middle of a crisis? I won't have it. I will leave and let you rot if this continues. And then you'll never know." He dusts off his chest area and cups his fingers at Borusa's ear, "I think it's time for me to go. I was a fool to stay here, hoping. You and any others you trust are free to come with. I don't care any-"
A gleam in the light, amongst all the other gleams. But this one is different.
Long, thin bones and long thin fingers itch for the touch of silver kept in the hair. A black comb falls from ocean strands and clicks on the floor. High above, the suns of Gallifrey cower behind the Pod in the ceiling, afraid.

The Middle Season 1 DVD Product Description
Frankie Heck is a superhero. Well, no, not an actual superhero--but sometimes it seems to Frankie as though getting her kids out the door for school every morning is a superheroic act. Middle aged, middle class and living in the middle of the country, this harried wife and working mother of three uses her wry wit and sense of humor to try to get her family through each day intact. Frankie has a job (not a career) selling cars at the town's only surviving car dealer; her husband, Mike, is a manager at the local quarry. In between juggling shifts and picking up fast food dinners eaten in front of the TV, Frankie and Mike raise their kids with love and solid Midwestern practicality. Axl is the oldest, a teenage jock who is eating the family out of house and home and walks around in his underwear. Then there's Sue, their extraordinarily ordinary pre-teen daughter who fails at everything with great gusto. Brick, the youngest son, is an odd kid whose best friend is his backpack. Together, they're putting The Middle on the map. Extra content

A magician coerces a cranky siren to sell him a book.
The bookstore was old and small and filled with the odors of wine and charred keratin. Shelves stuffed tight with old, sweet-smelling books stood against the walls like gills, a small breeze from the open window in the back fluttering stray papers through them now and then. The magician Imetti Yakkeh thumbed the latch of the front door and heaved with his shoulder, opening just enough of a gap to let his slender figure slip through before the hinges creaked and the door slammed shut, disturbing the icy silence that separated the store from the street. "Ket," he called lazily, "I need a book."
On a podium in the center of the store, a mass of feathers stirred, and the wrinkled, bald head and neck of a vulture emerged from it, eyes narrowed. "Of course you need a book. That's the problem with you." His breath burbled with phlegm, but his voice made no sound—his words rumbled directly in the mind of the magician.
Yakkeh smiled playfully, sashaying up the short staircase with a flourish of his citrus-colored robes. "Come now, that's no way to treat a loyal customer. Haven't I so faithfully paid for your books for all these years?"
"It's not the problem of paying for them," Ket growled. "It's what you do with them afterwards."
"But they're my property after I pay. What should you care what happens to them?" Yakkeh traced the spine of a book on one of the haphazard stacks that were scattered around the store, some nearly brushing the ceiling, some blocking the aisles.
"I run this bookstore because I happen to like books. Your treatment of them encourages me to refuse you service." Ket shook the sleep out of his feathers, sending a few floating to the ground.
Yakkeh twitched his fingers, and one feather twisted and tumbled and slipped between the pages of a heavy book. "Are you sure? I happen to be very, very desperate."
Ket scoffed. "Your combusting desk can stay lopsided. I will sell you nothing."
"Well." Yakkeh clicked his tongue. "Looks like I got that mousedeer for nothing, then." He pulled a Chihuahua-sized ungulate out from beneath his robes, dangling it temptingly by its back legs.
Ket choked, but covered up with a loud clearing of his throat. "What a degrading attempt at temptation," he said. "I am not some simpleminded beast who can be flattered with victuals." All the same, he couldn't seem to take his eyes off the mousedeer.
"Oh, really?" Yakkeh said, fake disappointment in his voice. He turned to face the door. "Then I guess you wouldn't be flattered by an... aye-aye?" He allowed himself a smirk as another fit of choking erupted from Ket's throat.
"I-I doubt that you'd even have access to one," Ket stammered.
"I have my connections. But I think you've made it clear that you're not interested. Looks like I'll have to just give this to Kyt."
Ket bristled. "Don't waste such things on that brainless philistine!"
Yakkeh tucked the mousedeer back into his robes and turned to Ket again. "Well, I've got to give these to someone. I'm not going to let them just rot; they cost me good money."
"Then give them to me."
"Not so fast. I'd go broke if I were that generous. I'll need something in return... say, one of your fine books."
Ket glowered at the magician. "Show me the aye-aye."
Yakkeh waggled a finger. "I know how you enjoy your beckoning spells. Honestly, I thought you'd up and take the mousedeer."
There was a long silence as Ket clenched his talons on the podium, secretly tasting the air for the distinct aroma of aye-aye. Finally, he grumbled, "What kind of book?"
Yakkeh clapped his hands together, delighted. "I knew you'd see things my way eventually."
"And I'll see your way out soon enough. What kind of book?"
Yakkeh sauntered up to the podium and leaned an elbow on it. "I need the biggest one you've got. A real doorstop."
Ket sneered. "Stocking up on lifts for the combusting desk?"
"My desk is stable for now." He waved his hand dismissively. "And no harm will come to this book. You have my word."
"Your word is about as good as a snake's, I've learned."
"Aye-aye," Yakkeh sang.
A low rumble came from Ket's throat as he begrudgingly lifted a wing, halfway bald from all his molting, and crooked it at one of the rows of bookshelves behind him. A tome two feet thick drifted about as gracefully as a walrus through the air and landed uncomfortably close to Yakkeh's foot with a hollow thud.
"An Extensive History of the Pompous Bastard," Yakkeh read the cover aloud. "Do I smell an implication?"
"It's the largest book I have," Ket shrugged smugly, and snuggled his wings back close to his body.
"In that case, dear siren, keep the change." In a single motion, Yakkeh dumped the mousedeer, a pouch of coins, and the promised aye-aye on the podium next to Ket, and then bent down and stuffed the book into his robes, though it showed as little sign of its presence beneath the folds as the carcasses had.
"You got what you came for. Out," Ket demanded.
"Eager to get to your victuals?"
"Of course, of course, I'm going." Yakkeh held a hand up and descended the stairs backwards, carefully gripping the handrail.
The old siren glared at him. "And don't expect to get any more books from me."
The magician yanked on the handle, cracking the door open to the noisy street. "We'll just have to see, Ket, now won't we?" There was another heavy slam and then the silence again.
Ket's eyes shifted from the offerings on the podium to the feather that Yakkeh had slipped into a book--he craned his neck to see the title: Dear Greed. He considered this for a moment. Then, "Oh, do I smell an implication?!" he mocked, and swept the carcasses and purse to the floor. He glared at them as they lay there for a few moments until the aroma from them drifted its way back up into his nostrils. He gritted his beak to steel himself, but only managed to put off resisting for a few moments longer before he begrudgingly beckoned them back onto the podium, fuming all the while that the "stupid magician knows that there's no ice in this bookstore" and "I'll have to close it for half an hour to get these home like last time."

Homeless Hero
I was woken up in the morning by shouts and cursing, and I looked over to the town clock, to see that it was just after 10am. I had overslept, and probably missed my chance for breakfast.
I must have got around 15 hours sleep last night - the most since I left home. Odd, maybe it was because I had alot to think about, and... I don't know, does that help you sleep?
The shouts that rudely woke me seemed to be getting closer, and I saw a girl, maybe only a little older than myself run by, looking over her shoulder. I looked over to where her eyes were leading, only to see a much older man, dressed all in black, and carrying what seemed to be a knife. He was obviously chasing after the girl, and my instincrt kicked in, and as the attacker darted passed me, I dived out from under my blanket, gripping onto his legs and causing him to fall to the ground.
Punching him once in the face, I grabbed at his arm to take the knife off him, but in doing so, his knee came up and connected hard with my stomach, winding me.
Although I wanted to just curl up in a ball and cry out in pain, I knew I couldn't, because I didn't want to give the man a chance to stab me.
The attacker got to his feet, and looking down at me, pointed the knife in my direction. Looking up at the sinister silhouette, I acted quickly, and brought my right leg around, kicking him hard in the shins. The man yelped out in pain, and I took this opportunity to snatch the knife off him, push him against the wall and take off the attacker's mask to look him in the eyes.
From there, I wasn't quite sure what to do, but luckily, I was saved by two police officers running around the corner. They shouted, and I immediately thought I was safe, but they must have seen me with the knife, and being homeless, well... People are quick to point the finger.
One tackled me to the ground and the other took the knife off me. The real attacker had begun weeping, and as the officer who now had the knife reassured him, the other officer got me to my feet.
'No, no! This isn't how it looks! He was chasing a girl, then I tried to stop him, and-'
'Save it! You're coming with us to tha station, and you'll be damn lucky if you're not in court within the next few days!'
Fantastic. I try to lend a helping hand, but this is how it all turns out.
I looked up and down the alley as a small crowd assembled to see what was going on. I was handcuffed, and as I was led through the nosey crowd, I recognised the face of the girl who was being chased. Obviously she wasn't going to speak up for me.
I can see my help is always appreciated.

MLK, Malcolm X, Mandela, and Biko : Resistance to Modern Day Slavery and Philosophies for Black Liberation. This Presentation Is A Thematic Analysis Of The Four Leaders Comparing The Selected Subjects of Justice and Liberation.

INTRODUCTION:Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Stephen Biko, and Nelson Mandela were four of the most prominent freedom fighters of the 20th century.
THESIS:King, Malcolm X, Biko, and Mandela shared the common drive to free their people from modern day slavery by comparable and complimentary means of direct resistance and self-empowerment philosophies for Black liberation.
King, Malcolm, Biko, and Mandela Challenged the Social Conscience of the United States, South Africa, and the Rest of the Attentive World to Recognize and Address the Immorality of Subjugating Human Beings for the Colourof Their Skin.
In the U.S., Malcolm X sparked the dormant anger in his brothers and sisters to stand up and command immediate justice on equal terms while King sparked the loving compassion of his audience to stand up for the morality of equal rights.
Martin Luther King Jr. successfully mobilized the oppressed masses to resist discrimination non-violently through the will power of love and compassion for all humanity, which he stressed in many of his speeches:
King:"We must not use violence. Oh, sometimes as we struggle it will be necessary to boycott. But let us remember as we boycott that a boycott is never an end. A boycott is merely means to awaken within the oppressor the sense of shame and to let him know that we don't like how we are being treated; but the end my friends is reconciliation, the end is redemption.
And our aim must never be to defeat the white man or to humiliate him. Our aim must be to win his friendship and his understanding … We must get a hold of this simple principle of love and let it be our guiding principle throughout our struggle," (Address at Freedom Rally, http://www.mlkonline.com/).
Teaching the moral force of love that was taught to him by his Christian faith, King put the practitioners of racial bigotry to shame in the public spotlight of the U.S. and the world by responding to violent acts with massive non-violent demonstrations instead of retaliation.
Malcolm X disagreed with King's non-violent activism and instead called for immediate self-defense for Black people to protect themselves from brutality:
MalcolmX:"We feel we've waited long enough. And we feel that all this crawling and sitting-in and crying-in and praying-in and begging-in hasn't gotten any meaningful results …
"We should be peaceful, law-abiding – but the time has come for the American Negro to fight back in self-defense whenever and wherever he is being unjustly and unlawfully attacked. If the government thinks I am wrong for saying this then let the government start doing its job," (Breitman, Malcolm X Speaks: 70, 22).
Malcolm X did not believe in hurting innocent people but, unlike King, he did believe in self-defense because he valued the lives of Black people. While white racism had society convinced that the Black life was worth nothing, Malcolm X told his people to take pride in their Black identity and love themselves.
Much like Malcolm X's strategy, Biko infused the notion of self-help for Black people to uplift and provide for themselves psychologically, socially, and economically.
Biko:"… as long as blacks are suffering from inferiority complex – a result of 300 years of deliberate oppression, denigration and derision – they will be useless as co-architects of a normal society where man is nothing else but man for his own sake.
"Hence what is necessary as a prelude to anything else that may come is a very strong grass-roots build-up of black consciousness such that blacks can learn to assert themselves and stake their rightful claim …
"Black Consciousness therefore, takes cognizance of the deliberateness of God's plan in creating black people black. It seeks to infuse the black community with a new-found pride in themselves, their efforts, their value systems, their culture their religion and their outlook in to life," (Biko, I Write What I Like: 21, 49).
Like Malcolm X, Biko advocated Black pride and self-awareness to encourage greater vitality to the Black community by uniting them with pride for their humanity in order to counteract white society's teachings of Black inferiority.
Mandela, on the other hand, forced more external change by rallying political resistance activism, conducting diplomatic negotiations, and consolidating support in international relations.
As the leader of the African National Congress Youth League, Mandela fought for justice by resisting the laws of the colonial Nationalist government, and calling for a true democracy, which would represent the people as a whole in South Africa.
During his treason trial against the Apartheid government, Mandela shared Malcolm's sentiments of disillusionment with a so-called democracy that produces second-class citizens:
Mandela:"How can I be expected to believe that this same racial discrimination which has been the cause of so much injustice and suffering right through the years, should now operate here to give me a fair and open trial?
…[I] consider myself neither morally nor legally obliged to obey laws made by a Parliament in which I am not represented,"(www.thinkexist.com/English/Author/x/Author_3763_2.htm).
Mandela, like Malcolm X, was fully aware of the hypocrisy of his nation's government and both leaders were ready to lead their peoples to revolution to gain true representation.
In the U.S., King was also prepared to fight for equal representation but instead of turning towards revolution, King believed equality could be achieved within the existing democracy of the nation and he was prepared to die for it:
King:"And even if he tries to kill you, (He can't kill you) you'll develop the inner conviction that there are some things so dear, some things so precious, some things so eternally true, that they are worth dying for [Applause] …
"I hope you will allow me to say to you this afternoon that God is not interested merely in the freedom of black men and brown men and yellow men. God is interested in the freedom of the whole human race." [Applause] (Speech at the Great March on Detroit, www.mlkonline.com/).
While King inspired people of all colors to unite in a moral battle against racism, Malcolm focused his attention on helping the Black community empower itself.
This philosophy of "Black Nationalism," much like Biko's "Black Consciousness" later in South Africa, was meant to empower Black people to uplift themselves from oppression by freeing themselves from outside dependencies on white society.
In his speech, "The Ballot or the Bullet," Malcolm advises Black people to unite and uplift themselves by consolidating their political and economic power:
Malcolm X:"We should control the economy of our community … The philosophy of black nationalism involves a re-education program in the black community in regards to economics …
"If we own the stores, if we operate the businesses, if we try and establish some industry in our own community, then we're developing to the position where we are creating employment for our own kind …
"Once you gain control of the economy of your own community, then you don't have to picket and boycott and beg some cracker downtown for a job in his business …
"The political philosophy of black nationalism means: we must control the politics and the politicians of our community. They must no longer take orders from outside forces. We will organize, and sweep out of office all Negro politicians who are puppets for the outside forces," (Breitman, Malcolm X Speaks: 39, 21).
Malcolm X's ideal for Black Nationalism was to develop completely self-sustainable Black communities that supported Black growth economically, politically and socially, with no dependence on the resources of White America.
Although he did not live long enough to make his vision a reality, Malcolm X never the less inspired many Black people with a sense of pride in their Black identity, which became a unifying force against racism.
In South Africa, Biko also greatly inspired Black pride in his people as he echoed Malcolm X's call for self-empowerment in order to achieve social equality:
Biko:"If by integration you understand a breakthrough into white society by black, an assimilation and acceptance of blacks into an already established set of norms and code of behavior set up by and maintained by whites, then YES I am against it" …
"If on the other hand by integration you mean there shall be free participation by all members of a society, catering for the full expression of the self in a freely changing society as determined by the will of the people, then I am with you," (Biko, I Write What I Like: 24).
Like Malcolm X and unlike King, Biko had no interest in jumping into white society to make their society habitable and equal for Black people to live in.
Rather, Biko believed that Black South Africans must learn to help themselves first and not rely on the leadership or financial support of whites because that was the very chain of mental slavery that needed to be broken- white dependence.
While Biko focused on education for Black independence from within, Mandela led more direct resistance by organizing the people in civil disobedience against Apartheid.
Mandela: "During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination.
"I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die," (Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom: 368).
Conclusion:The resistance philosophies of MLK, Malcolm, Mandela, and Biko commonly share the call for self-determination and direct resistance by the people in order to achieve liberation from oppression.
MLK and Mandela offered greater attention to political negotiation and interracial collaboration while Malcolm X and Biko offered greater emphasis on self-empowerment through Black pride and independence.
The contrasting methods between MLK and Malcolm X and Mandela and Biko, respectively, created two parallel and complimentary dynamics to the freedom movements in the U.S. and in South Africa that proved to be vital to their common struggles for liberation.

I did, but it started annoying me because of the implausability of what
they were doing. I guess that's what I get for working for the company
that makes Mathematica for two years.
And, as much as I hate to say it, the acting always bothered me -- it
felt stiff and the characters didn't really seem to click. The two shows
that I enjoy with the best character development/interaction are The Shield
and Las Vegas (again, improbably plot lines on this one, but fun).
I really liked the premise of Numb3rs, though!

12 years old council tax debt
I have received a council tax letter with only my first name on it .And two of the others names I do not know. The debt is about 600 pounds,and it charged for 12 years ago.I have never lived at that address.I have called the council and said that was not me,they asked my name and said they going to change the name on the letter. In this case, where do I stand?what should I do?

Re: 12 years old council tax debt
Write to them and say that you have never lived at that address, you do not know the other people named and that they have sent the letter to the wrong person.
