Coercive Control and Intimate Partner Violence
Just before ringing in 2016, the United Kingdom announced that new legislation would make coercive, or controlling, abuse in domestic relationships a criminal act, carrying a maximum penalty of five years in prison. The legislation reflects what feminist advocates have been claiming for decades – that intimate partner violence (IPV) is not limited to physical or sexual abuse. Additionally, IPV includes a wide range of non-physical but highly influential behaviors that enable one intimate partner to control the other, and keep the victimized partner ensnared in an abusive relationship. Here, David Mayeda discusses Evan Stark's concept of coercive control to illustrate how widespread gender norms in society contribute to men's control over women in intimate relationships.
When people hear the words "domestic violence" or "intimate partner violence" (IPV), the first images that come to mind are typically those involving physical violence between intimate partners. However in 2007, Evan Stark published Coercive Control: How Men Entrap Women in Personal Life, a book which illuminates how violence in intimate relationships is sustained largely by acts of control, which do not always carry physical violence. Stark's work has also been influential in showcasing how coercive control is shaped by society's gendered expectations of men and women….
Rousey & UFC 193: Women's Revolution or Limited Liberal Feminism?
This weekend in Melbourne, Australia, Ronda Rousey will defend her mixed martial arts (MMA) bantamweight championship against Holly Holm in the main event of UFC 193. The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is marketing UFC 193 as a women's revolution in sports. Not only are Rousey and Holm – two women – squaring off in the main event, but in the co-main event, Joanna Jędrzejcyk defends her UFC straweight title against Valerie Letourneau. UFC 193 will stand as the first major event in combat sport history where the main event and co-main event are both headlined by female fights. Still, one must ask, even with Rousey's rise to stardom, how far has the UFC has come with respect to gender equity? In this post, David Mayeda examines the UFC's inclusion of female fighters and argues UFC 193 symbolizes the limitations of liberal feminism.
Roughly four years ago, UFC President, Dana White, stated soundly women would never fight in the UFC. Less than two years later, he signed Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche to compete in the UFC's first women's fight for the newly established bantamweight championship. Prior to Rousey's entrée into the organization, women, including Rousey, had been competing in MMA. Still, the UFC was and remains the most prominent MMA ogranization, and since her victory over Carmouche, Rousey has shifted the way society views MMA.
At present, the UFC includes two women's divisions. Rousey is champion at the bantamweight level (upper limit of 135 lbs), while Joanna Jędrzejcyk – a 6-time world champion in Muay Thai – stands as the strawweight champ (upper limit of 115 lbs). Although male fighters still outnumber female fighters at UFC events, the inclusion of female competitions in the UFC is now very normalized. However, at this weekend's event in Melbourne, Australia, female fighters are truly taking the spotlight, as Rousey, Jędrzejcyk and their respective opponents will close out the card in the two main event matches.
Unsurprisingly, the UFC is marketing the event around these shifting gender norms and capitalizing off Rousey's ascent to mainstream celebrity status. As seen in the promotional video, above, representations of Rousey, a two-time Olympic judoka and bronze medalist in 2008, and Holm, a 19-time world boxing champion, revolve around girls' contested climb into combat sport greatness, as they disrupt notions of socially acceptable femininity through their childhood and adolescence….
Cultural Appropriation and Indigenous Peoples
In multicultural societies, different cultural groups are bound to share their respective norms, exchange traditional values and learn from one another. Present-day technology has helped make our global society smaller. Not only do people migrate at faster rates, in larger numbers and with varying levels of privilege. Additionally, information technology expedites cultural interchange and movement of financial capital across global platforms, often times in a matter of seconds. If cultural interchange is an inevitable by-product of globalization, how should we interpret use of culture for capital gain? In this post, David Mayeda offers analysis of a recent commercial, which presents rugby icon Richie McCaw and Māori culture as symbols to sell products for Beats by Dre, and asks if this representation of Māori culture is cultural appropriation.
With expected victories and massive upsets, the 2015 Rugby World Cup (RWC) is now in full swing. Back in 2011, New Zealand's All Blacks were winners of the RWC, led by team captain and rugby legend, Richie McCaw. Though aging, McCaw is still an impact player and continues his role as captain. An icon in the sport, it's probably no coincidence that Dr. Dre's "Beats by Dre" company released the following YouTube video featuring McCaw at the start of this year's RWC. While watching, note inclusion of New Zealand's indigenous Māori practicing haka that adds to the commercial's ambiance.
Haka is a Māori war dance, used historically in times of conflict and coming together. In contemporary New Zealand, haka are still used to signify an occurrence's importance, and in popular culture it is not uncommon to see haka performed at sporting events by Māori and non-Māori alike (to learn more on the connection between the haka and NZ rugby, watch the video, below; to see the All Blacks perform at this year's RWC, click here). According to the New Zealand Herald, the haka in the above commercial was written specifically for the Beats by Dre ad….
Explaining White Privilege
Nobody likes being told they have it easy, especially if they've overcome obstacles to get where they are. This is one of the reasons white people sometimes find the term white privilege bothersome, perhaps even offensive. The fact is, people from all ethnic backgrounds typically need to work hard in order to get through life, including those of European descent. Consequently, understanding and accepting white privilege can be a difficult task. In this post, David Mayeda takes an example of a recent New Zealander who moved to London to inspect the concept of white privilege.
The New Zealand Herald recently published a letter written by a young, ambitious New Zealander named Alex Hazlehurst who moved to London aiming to expand her professional work experience in broadcast journalism. Titled, "I'm talented. I'm hard-working. I'm blonde. So why can't I find a job in London?", Hazlehurst explains, she arrived in London with a university degree, solid work experience and a positive attitude. In turn, she expected to find meaningful work relatively quickly.
Unfortunately upon arrival, Hazlehurst encountered a London employment market that was cut-throat and highly competitive: "It doesn't matter if you are Kiwi, Aussie, Canadian or British; London has become the Hunger Games of employment. So much so, a job will go up online and within 48 hours it has 786 applicants." Indeed, tough odds for any applicant.
Hazlehurst explains further, the inability to find gainful employment had rippling effects on her morale: "It was starting to feel like this city hated me. I was angry, broke, drinking a lot, and lacking any of the confidence I arrived with four months ago." Fortunately, Hazlehurst persevered, landing "a permanent job, at a great company, in the heart of Leicester Square."
Undoubtedly, it takes courage for a 25-year-old to move half way across the world to a city twice as big in population as her home country. Likewise, it takes talent and determination to grind through the process she did to find meaningful work. So if this individual struggled to succeed, how could she be privileged? How might she have white privilege?…
Orientalism and "India's Daughter"
In December 2012, a young woman from New Delhi, India was sexually assaulted and murdered by six male perpetrators in such brutal fashion that the tragedy provoked nation-wide protests and drew extensive international media attention. The incident also inspired British filmmaker, Leslee Udwin, to produce a documentary titled India's Daughter (see trailer here). As part of the documentary, Udwin interviewed one of the convicted perpetrators, who declared the victim should not have resisted and was responsible for her own victimization because she violated feminine norms by dressing inappropriately and staying out late at night. In this post, David Mayeda uses Edward Said's system of Orientalism to analyze a discussion on India's Daughter that took place earlier this year.
TRIGGER WARNING: This article discusses sexual assault.
Edward Said is one of the most influential academicians in the Humanities and Social Sciences. His system of Orientalism has been fundamental in assisting scholars to rethink how we understand discourse directed towards people of color and conversely, those of European descent. As described in Said's seminal 1978 text, Orientalism entails constructing representations of non-European, colonized groups in negative ways across a range of mediums (military documents, popular media, academic study). Throughout this broad discourse, non-European cultures are framed as dangerous, backwards, inferior, simple, mystical and/or uncivilized, and lacking cultural diversity.
Coupled with this definition of "the other," comes the implicit understanding that those who are not Orientalized must be by comparison, uniformly safe, forward thinking, superior, advanced, scientific and/or civilized. To this end, Said argues that when western European powers define "others" in disparaging ways, they are simultaneously coming to understand themselves in opposing, positive terms.
Said contends further that an Orientalist system served as the foundation for British and French colonialism from late 17th century until World War II, and American neo-colonialism in the post-World War II period, though Said acknowledges Italy, Spain, Portugal, Russia and Germany relied on Orientalist practices as well.
It is in this regard that Orientalism is so important as a conceptual framework, because without first Orientalizing non-European cultures, colonizing powers could not justify taking possession of other countries and imposing economic and educational systems that benefitted colonizers at the expense of the colonized. Understanding themselves as higher cultures, western Europeans assumed the right to bring said lower cultures along, no matter how grizzly the means….
Pacquiao vs Mayweather: A Clash in Cultural Values
Most fight fans say it should have happened five years ago, when boxing's two greatest contemporary icons stood at the height of their athleticism. But nobody is complaining that Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao and Floyd "Money" Mayweather have slipped past punches over contract disputes and will finally trade blows in the ring on 2 May 2015. This latest rendition of boxing's history making prize-fight indeed breaks precedence, if for no other reason, for its financial provisions. The two pugilists will share an estimated $200 million in prize money, with Mayweather banking $120 million and Pacquiao $80 million, a 60%-40% split, as ticket sales for the contest skyrocket in value. In this post, David Mayeda, explains how the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight is far more than a major boxing competition, also representing a colossal clash in cultural values.
As much as any other sport, boxing has shared a dynamic relationship with American cultural politics. Throughout the twentieth century, African American heavyweight champions, such as Jack Johnson, Joe Louis, Joe Frasier, Muhammad Ali, and George Foreman, symbolized diverging viewpoints tied to civil rights, patriotism, and imperialism.
At present time, however, boxing's landscape has become highly depoliticized, stuck in a period of commercialized globalization where today's boxing superstars are constrained by business interests that limit political expression. Despite these corporate restraints, the impending Mayweather-Pacquiao competition represents a clash in cultural values, as notions of intense American individualism square off against collectivism and humility.
"Money" Mayweather and American Individualism
No other athlete represents American individualism and capitalistic greed more ardently than "Money" Mayweather. The highest paid professional athlete in the world, Mayweather regularly and notoriously flaunts his wealth and extravagant lifestyle. Boasting that he is untouchable across an array of levels, Mayweather recently stated, "Is it about the money? Absolutely. Is it about the fame? Absolutely. It's everything wrapped into one. I want to be the best. Not just the best fighter but I want to be the best athlete, period. When I leave, I will be known as 'TBE' and that's the best ever."…
I, Too, Am Auckland: Combating Racialized Microaggressions
Just over a year ago, a group of African American students at Harvard University initiated the "I, Too, Am Harvard" campaign, exposing the racialized microaggressions black students at Harvard face. According to Columbia University Professor Derald Sue and colleagues, microaggressions are a contemporary form of racism, which can be defined as "brief, everyday exchanges that send denigrating messages to people of color because they belong to a racial minority group" (p. 273). In this post, David Mayeda overviews the "I, Too, Am Auckland" movement, where Māori and ethnically diverse Pacific students describe the lexicon of microaggressions they face, how they and their peers cope with racially disparaging actions, and how we as a society can overcome racial inequalities.
For the last seven months, six University of Auckland students and I worked diligently on a projected titled, "I, Too, Am Auckland." Building off the widely successful "I, Too, Am Harvard" project and the university campaigns that followed at Oxford, Cambridge, and Sydney, our project speaks to the seemingly subtle, covert but still very damaging racism directed towards Māori and Pacific university students in Aotearoa New Zealand.
To provide some context, in New Zealand, Māori are the indigenous population who have undergone waves of colonialism and face marginalization in society that is similar to indigenous peoples in the United States, Canada and Australia. Pacific peoples have ancestries tied to Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, the Cook Islands, Fiji, Tokelau, Vanuatu, Hawai'i, French Polynesia/Tahiti, and many other Pacific islands/nations. Most Pacific nations also underwent European colonization, and notably in New Zealand, Pacific people were recruited to work in factories during the 1950s, 60s and 70s, valued predominantly for their unskilled labor….
Those Holiday Decorations and Alienation
In much of the western world, December and January mark months during the year we dub, the holiday season. For many of us, this entails purchasing gifts for loved ones, receiving gifts in return, celebrating time with loved ones, and making New Years resolutions. People who celebrate Christmas – whether that be for religious or non-religious purposes – frequently do so by ornamenting their homes with festive decorations. But where do all those decorations come from? In this post, David Mayeda uses Karl Marx's concept of alienation to analyze the production of Christmas ornaments, most of which are made in the Chinese city of Yiwu.
As most of our readers should know, Karl Marx is one of sociology's founding members. Marx viewed society through a lens of contentious production relations, in which the proletariat class (those who could only use their bodies as currency within the system) was exploited by the bourgeoisie (those who owned the means of production).
According to Marx, in their exploitation, the proletariat would become alienated from society in four different, but related and simultaneous ways: alienated from (1) the objects s/he produces, (2) the processes of production; (3) him/herself; and (4) the broader community of humankind. Now let's return to this post's example.
As The Guardian explains, over 60% of the world's Christmas decorations are made in roughly 600 factories, located in the Chinese city of Yiwu:
- Christened "China's Christmas village", Yiwu is home to 600 factories that collectively churn out over 60% of all the world's Christmas decorations and accessories, from glowing fibre-optic trees to felt Santa hats. The "elves" that staff these factories are mainly migrant labourers, working 12 hours a day for a maximum of £200 to £300 [USD $312 to $468] a month – and it turns out they're not entirely sure what Christmas is.
Thinking of Volunteering Abroad? Read this first.
Unless you have paid work lined up, soon-to-be graduates frequently ponder what they will do with all the newfound spare time on their hands, while simultaneously questioning how their university degree can be put into practice in the "real world." Lacking that tangible, reliable post-graduation roadmap, many recent university graduates (at least those who can afford it) are choosing to volunteer internationally, as a way to build their resumes, help others in need and add meaning to their lives. In this post, David Mayeda draws on the concept of neocolonialsim to critique this growing practice of international volunteerism.
In just over two weeks, 11 current and former University of Auckland students and I will embark on a two-week trip to Cambodia and Thailand to learn about the horrific practices of human trafficking and modern day slavery. Our guides on this trip will be personnel from an organization called, Destiny Rescue, a non-governmental organization (NGO) that specializes in stopping the trafficking of women and children who are coerced into sex work. During the past year, the students and I have been preparing for this trip, which has included all kinds of fundraising, as well as having honest conversations about our short trip's objectives.
For the most part, our trip will entail learning how broad structural factors (e.g., poverty, discriminatory citizenship laws, corruption in law enforcement and politics, gender and age discrimination, demand from high income countries) contribute to modern day slavery, guided through this learning process with people who deal with these factors "on the ground" as part of their daily work. However, there will be a few occasions where our tour group volunteers with young people who have escaped trafficking rings….
Everyday Colonialism
In 1991, Philomena Essed wrote an important book titled Everyday Racism: An Interdisciplinary Theory. In her seminal text, Essed outlines how seemingly subtle and innocuous interactions between majority group members and women of color are muddled with racism. Essed termed these interactions, "everyday racism." Other scholars in social psychology have called everyday racist acts "microaggressions." In this post, David Mayeda discusses a recent commercial from Australia and his own research with Maori and Pacific students in Aotearoa New Zealand to illustrate the power of everyday racism and what he and his colleagues term, everyday colonialism.
Before I get into this post, check out this recent commercial that demonstrates what indigenous peoples in Australia (Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders) must cope with on a regular, everyday basis.
Here at SociologyInFocus, a sociological topic we tend to neglect is colonialism. First let's define imperialism – "the practice, the theory, and the attitudes of a dominating metropolitan centre ruling a distant territory; 'colonialism', which is almost always a consequence of imperialism, is the implanting of settlements on distant territory" (Ashcroft, Griffiths, & Tiffin, 2002, p. 46). In short, colonialism is imperialism put into action.
Today, old school colonialism is less prevalent. Instead what we tend to see are modern remnants of colonialism operating systemically through what scholars call "neo-colonialsim." In neo-colonial settings, previously colonized states have gained political independence from the colonial powers of yester-year. However, contemporary political, social and economic arrangements persist that keep indigenous peoples pushed to society's margins and in a state of perpetual structural disadvantage. Thus, colonialism lives on even if we don't realize it….

Twitter's is only seven this month
Twitter celebrates its seventh birthday this month with 200 million users worldwide- who now send an average of 400 million tweets every day.The service, originally called "stat.us" and then "twittr", was launched in 2006 by Jack Dorsey.
He says he was inspired by signing up to blogging service Live Journal in 2000 and spent the next six years refining his idea for "a more 'live' LiveJournal. Real-time, up-to-date, from the road".
Now people use Twitter to campaign, share and discuss news, fundraise, propose marriage, challenge authority – and try to catch the eye of teen heart-throb Justin Bieber, who at time of writing has more than 36 million followers.
On Twitter everyone is so accessible – you can tweet anyone. With Facebook, you have to be friends with them first.
The problem with Twitter – which is the power of Twitter – is that you are publishing into the world. It's out there with the same power whether you have one follower or whether you have three million followers.
The joy of Twitter is that it's a stream, you step into it, you step out of it.
You can look at the world in terms of before and after Twitter. Before Twitter, from a consumer standpoint, lots of news and information services were out there, but we hadn't really been deep into the mobile-app revolution.
In the world after Twitter, suddenly people have access to real-time news and information.
Twitter bites
• Each message posted on Twitter can be up to 140 characters long, including web addresses, user names and hashtags
• There are 200 million active Twitter users worldwide
• Every day 400 million tweets are sent every day
• It took three years, two months and one day for the first billion tweets to be sent
• There are 10 million users in the UK, and 80% of them access Twitter via their mobile phones
• Of Twitter's global users, 60% check the service on their phones
• Some 40% of Twitter users choose not to write any tweets themselves, but use the platform to follow news and interests

Family Ties
Andrey Zvyagintsev's Elena is a tale of two apartments: a spacious chrome, glass, and marble luxury flat that might be anywhere in prosperous western Europe, and a cramped unit in an exhausted-looking, distinctly Soviet-vintage apartment block with a view of a nuclear plant. Central to the movie is the distance — physical and psychological — and the mutual resentment that exist between the spaces. Fiftyish working-class Elena (Nadezhda Markina) lives and serves her wealthy older husband, Vladimir (Andrey Smirnov), in the first apartment, and visits her unemployed son from another marriage in the second. When Elena asks Vladimir a favor for her son's family and he declines, it puts them at loggerheads; this comes to a crisis when a health scare inspires Vladimir to codify his intentions in a will, while also placing himself, weakened by illness, at the mercy of Elena, playing his nurse. In a few shrewd, telling scenes, the central couple is seen, together and separately, playing their various roles with their various contradictory loyalties. With taciturn camera work and scalpel-like precision in dissecting class that recalls Claude Chabrol, Zvyagintsev's film observes Elena deciding which family to ally and how she asserts her newfound power as the idea of apocalypse hangs over the film's troubling conclusion.

We are excited to announce that after a very tight race, "Million in the Mirror," by Marc Parees and Ryan Silbert of New York University's Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television, is the winner of its first-ever public service announcement (PSA) video contest for the Love/Avon Army of Women.
As many of you know, earlier this year, the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation embarked upon an exciting adventure: We developed a contest that gave film students from the USC School of Cinematic Arts and New York University's Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television the opportunity to propose their ideas for a Public Service Announcement (PSA) video that would encourage one million women of all ages and ethnicities from across the nation to sign up and be part of the Army of Women movement.
We received more than 25 submissions for the contest, and we were incredibly impressed by the passion the students showed for our work and our mission to move breast cancer beyond a cure. It was far from easy to choose the best projects. But after much debate and discussion, we agreed on the four finalists, who each received a $5,000 budget to create a PSA video.
The online contest was hosted by Glamour magazine at www.glamour.com. In a one-week period, more than 28,000 glamour readers and Army of Women members voted for their favorite PSA among the four finalists, which will air on Lifetime Television for Women during Breast Cancer Awareness Month throughout the month October.
Marc and Ryan will receive an Apple Final Cut Studio Package and the opportunity to meet with the senior vice president of production at New Regency Productions, the production company founded by Arnon Milchan that distributes its films worldwide through Twentieth Century Fox.
Both winners have been touched by breast cancer. Marc Parees, the writer and director of Million in the Mirror, is currently pursuing his MFA in film and recently received a Warner Brothers Production Grant for his thesis film Little Ones, currently in development for production in Spring 2010. The producer, Ryan Silbert, is currently developing a slate of films including several genre films by George Romero, and an adaptation of Stephen King's The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon co-written by King and Romero.
Congratulations to our finalists and especially to Marc and Ryan for creating such an inspirational PSA for the Army of Women.
Here is "Million in the Mirror"…enjoy!

Interest Daily Cosplay Death Note's Misa Amane
posted on 2011-01-27 22:43 EST by Gia Manry
In the above image, an unidentified cosplayer at Romania's Nijikon 2010 portrays Misa Amane, a primary character in Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's manga Death Note and its 2006 television anime adaptation. In the series, Misa is a popular model who is in posession of a death note accompanied by the shinigami Rem. She falls in love with Light Yagami/Kira and becomes a pawn in his schemes to kill criminals and avoid detection. The costume shown here is worn by Misa on the cover of Death Note volume four.
The photo was taken at Nijikon 2010, which took place in Bucharest, Romania on October 23 and 24 of last year.

The jury is in. According to a new survey, the vast majority of Canadians do not consider criticism of the government of Israel to be necessarily "anti-Semitic." This finding contradicts those who have been warning of a "new anti-Semitism" in Canada, where criticism of Israel is a veiled form of this despicable historic ideology.
There are good reasons for Palestinians and many others to be frustrated with international mechanisms for social justice. But what the world witnessed at the UNSC on Friday may be a case of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s observation that "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."
This is a bit like commenting on a married couple who have severe marital problems, complete with shouting matches and physical abuse. While all their friends may agree that the marriage is in trouble and that the couple should get counselling, no true friend would allow the husband to repeatedly beat his wife as they wait for counselling. But Canadian political leaders seem perfectly willing to allow the "beating" to continue as they await the ever elusive negotiated solution ("counselling") between Israel and Palestine.
Much like any viral infection, the invasion leads to a shutdown of normal processes as the virus uses up all the nutrients and resources to make more copies. Yet the mechanism of this takeover has been for the most part a mystery. That may change as a group of Israeli researchers have provided a glimpse at how influenza takes over the cell.
Sixty-two per cent of Green members have voted for a resolution calling on Ottawa to end its support for a charity that discriminates in land use abroad. An owner of 13 per cent of Israel's land, Jewish National Fund bylaws and lease documents contain a restrictive covenant stating its property will not be leased to non-Jews.
This is an interview I conducted with Professor Yakov M. Rabkin of the Université de Montréal, author of the recently published What Is Modern Israel. Professor Rabkin's earlier book on the subject of Israel was nominated for the Governor General's Literary Award and for the Hecht Prize for Studies of Zionism.
In overwhelmingly condemning BDS in the House of Commons recently, Canadian parliamentarians have greatly advanced the prospects for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. The BDS movement singles out Israel for exclusive censure encouraging boycotts of Israeli goods, which produces an outcome that also harms Palestinians, as their economy is closely intertwined with Israel's.
We ask you to resist the false alarm that your Zionist friends sound when they cry "anti-Semitism!" as the proverbial boy might cry "wolf!" For those who do so are robbing a horrendous historic episode of its gravity, confusing legitimate dissent with genocide. Criticism is not Kristallnacht; challenges to the occupation are not the gas chambers. The distinction is crucial.
In a disingenuous ploy to gain acceptance and support in the West, many proponents of BDS typically claim that their movement is simply about promoting the "fundamental rights" of Palestinians in accordance with "international law." This means, foremost, pressuring Israel to end "its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands" and allowing "the rights of the Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties [in Israel] as stipulated in UN resolution 194."

Marco Rubio: Front-Runner In Second
Although he has yet to win a single primary or caucus -- and is not projected to win any in the near future -- the media and the GOP establishment are doing their best to make Marco Rubio out to be the real GOP front-runner. The only problem: he's not running in front. Not by a long shot. But what does that matter when you really want it to be true?

The first tech stock to be floated on the main stock market for more than a year, Detica had been seen as a barometer for the rebirth of the initial public offerings market.
But its shares, sold to institutions at 400p last week against an earlier price range of 440p to 510p, slumped to 375p at one stage, a further 6.25% discount. From the top of the indicative price range to today's low point, the shares have been discounted by 27%. The stock later recovered to 385p with 1m shares traded out of the 9.4m issued.

Thank you tor getting us back on the right track," ibid commissioner John Wiley Price, frequently a controversial figure himself for his protests on various racial jssues. '• A grand jury declined Tuesday to indict five members of a Nation of fslam mosque, who are based at WestcliffMall in south Dallas, where four youths admitted breaking in the night of June 11, stealing a cash register and $300. Nation of Islam members have provided security for the mall since it opened under black ownership two years ago. They appeared with their aittomeys, Price, store operators and mall officials at a mall news conference.

Archaeologists Try To Uncovor Clues To Ancient People VICTORIA, Texas (AP) — Beside a Guadalupe River feeder creek, a couple of dozen college students dig in the dirt on their hands and knees beneath the hot summer sun. Meticulously, they comb through clay soil in square sections, marking each dirt layer with colored flags. A few yards away, diggers sift through clumps and use water hoses to inspect every piece of earth. Welcome to a six-week journey intoiTexas' past. An archaeology team of university students and professors is excavating a 4-by-S-meter area in Riverside Park where ancient tools previously have been found. Researchers hope to unearth more artifacts to help them learn about the people who lived here as long ago as 8000 B.C. "This is the only site of this type that has been systematically dug in Victoria County or anywhere in this region. It'll be more than of just a regional interest if we find what we hope to find," said Tom Hester, one of the University of Texas archaeologists leading the project. Sharp Says Local Hospitals, Taxpayers Lose Under Federal Medicaid Changes AUSTIN (AP) — Texas hospitals stand to lose billions of dollars under changes to Medicaid funding being considered in Congress, according to State Comptroller John Sharp. An analysis released Tuesday by Sharp's office concludes that Texas hospitals could lose as much as $4 billion in Medicaid funds over the next seven years under a budget plan pushed by Republicans. The state's health care industry as a whole could lose as much as $12 billion, compared with funding Texas would receive under the current Medicaid system, he said. "Our analysis shows that by the year 2002, some public hospitals would have to hike local tax rates by as much as SO percent to cover the shortfall caused by inequities in the proposed congressional plan," said Sharp, a Democrat. The congressional budget plan pending in Congress caps Medicaid spending. In addition, lawmakers are considering a block grant system similar to the one proposed for welfare. Poll: One in Four Texans Knew a 1994 Murder Victim HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — The results of a newly released poll might indicate changing attitudes about how crime should be dealt with =Hill Country Roofing in Texas, a Sam Houston State University researcher says. Almost one-fourth of Texans responding to the poll said they knew a murder victim and 39 percent said they were crime victims during the previous year. However, Texans' support for the death penalty appeared to drop, said researcher Dennis Longmire, who conducted the 1994 Texas Crime Poll. "Perhaps people are beginning to see the futility of a continuation of punishment as the answer to the problem of crime," Longmire said Tuesday. He noted that his results combine with other studies that show Texans are increasingly concerned with a lost sense of community. "They're seeing the relationship between general decay in the neighborhood and crime and beginning to perhaps realize that ... we need to restore a sense of connection and commitment to the community.

Edwin_evans brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 69 Designs von 35 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Squishy Things Inc.
Apps for preschoolers
The name of the company is Squishy Things Inc. The original inspiration for this name was the brain (see http://yudkowsky.net/singularity/power). The domain name will be squishythingsinc.com so it may help to include the "inc" part in the logo so people can use this when finding the domain, but is definitely not a requirement. The design should convey "apps that let very young children explore and learn" (targeted mostly at iPad but also Android, iPhone, and other such devices).
I hope that isn't too vague. Let me know if you want more info.

I didn't know how long I'd been trapped, or even how I had gotten there. I was probably knocked out at some point during the fight with The Company, but I really couldn't remember.
After what seemed like months, I woke up to infinite darkness. Tiny points of light came and went as I looked around.
"Hello?" I shouted, flittering up a bit as panic began to set in. "Is anyone out there? Help!"

Established in 1981 in honour of the former Lieutenant-Governor's support and patronage of the arts, the Pauline McGibbon Award administered by the Ontario Arts Council, consists of $7,000 from the Ministry of Culture for the province of Ontario and a medal, designed by Dora de Pedry Hunt.
The award is intended to assist a member of Ontario's theatre community who has displayed a unique talent, a potential for excellence and who is in the early stages of his or her career. The Award rotates in a three-year cycle, honouring a director, a production craft person, or a designer. The recipient is selected by a jury through the Ontario Arts Council of theatre professionals, including actors, directors, and designers. The winner is announced at the Dora Mavor Moore Award ceremony.
Stratford Festival's Jennifer Wonnacott receives
35th anniversary Pauline McGibbon Award
Toronto, May 30, 2016 – Stratford Festival costume cutter and tailor Jennifer Wonnacott is the recipient of the 2016 Pauline McGibbon Award. She received the award today at the Dora Mavor Moore Awards news conference at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts.
This year marks the 35th anniversary of the award, created in honour of former Lieutenant Governor Pauline McGibbon. In recognition of the anniversary, the award was introduced by current Lieutenant Governor the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell.
About Jennifer Wonnacott
- Jennifer Wonnacott has been a costume cutter at the Stratford Festival for six seasons. Her prior roles at the festival include apprentice cutter and tailor.
- As Jennifer explains, a costume cutter does more than just cut out fabric: "We act as interpreters for designers by translating their sketches into actual garments through research, pattern drafting and fitting actors."
- Jennifer specializes in men's tailoring, and particularly Elizabethan-era design.
- She is as passionate about teaching as she is about costume design, working as an instructor in the Technical Costume Studies program at Fanshawe College.
- Jennifer holds a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Fashion Design from Ryerson University.
"An inspired team builder with exceptional skills, Jennifer embodies the collaborative spirit that makes for great theatre," said the jury. "She is an impressive costume cutter, a strong researcher and a creative problem solver, and she is doing important work sharing knowledge on costume-making."
About the Pauline McGibbon Award
- Established in 1981, the award honours former Lieutenant Governor Pauline McGibbon for her support and patronage of the arts. It includes a $7,000 prize and a medal designed by Dora de Pédery-Hunt.
- The award is presented to an Ontario-resident professional artist in the early stages of their career who has contributed to the well-being of Ontario's theatre community, displays unique talent and has the potential for excellence.
- The award is cyclical in nature: the first year of the three-year cycle, the award goes to a designer, the second year to a director, and the third year to a production craftsperson.
- The award is given each year by the Province of Ontario through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport and is administered by the Ontario Arts Council.
- See a list of past recipients.

Galactica's lack of privacy wasn't exactly news to Maggie. They'd all seen the Chief and Boomer sneaking off through causeways, suffered through Redwing's nightly visits with himself, stolen a few moments in storage rooms and empty duty lockers when they wanted to be alone. It was one thing to put up with non-stop communal living when the aim was a private conversation or a quick clothing-optional rendezvous after flying CAP.
When trying to plan a mutiny and break the president of the colonies out of the brig, it turned into a whole other problem.
Dee had spoken to her first, in the bathroom after everyone else had cleared out, dropping hints as she pretended to go through the motions of her daily routine. With the others, it was a quick nod in the corridor and whispered plans in the corner of the rec room. And Lee ...
Lee was harder to get to. Hardly surprising, after Tigh had declared him a traitor and had him locked up in the brig. Between his cosy new living situation and the marines shadowing him, it wasn't the easiest job to get him alone.
So, they had to get creative. She could deal with that. As long as the marines didn't suddenly decide to stop being so half-assed about their jobs, she figured they'd probably be fine.
"I'm pretty sure they think we're frakking in here."
Lee smiled as he glanced at her, double-checked that the door was shut tightly behind him. "I think that's kind of the point."
Granted, but she wasn't sure she wanted the rumour to spread. Not that she was shy about who she was frakking - even if she were inclined towards secrecy, a week or two on Galactica was enough to rob anyone of their embarrassment - but it was a different story when she wasn't actually getting laid. All the knowing looks, and none of the perks.
She shrugged, and moved over to make room for him on the rack beside her.
"So," he said. "Do you know the plan?"
"Dee filled me in," she said, hopefully sounding more confident than she felt. It wasn't that she wasn't on board, but a lot was riding on them being able to pull this off. Her entire career and the crappy rack she currently occupied were just the start of it.
Basically, if something went wrong, they were screwed. And given what they were trying to do, the chances of nothing going wrong weren't looking great.
"I've got a raptor waiting in the shuttle bay. As long as you can ditch your babysitters ..."
"I don't think that'll be a problem," he said. He was definitely smiling, like he knew exactly what the marines would be thinking when he ditched them to sneak off with her.
Well, it wasn't like she ever valued her reputation that much, anyway. "Do you know how you're getting the president out?"
"It's taken care of," he said. He didn't bother to tell her how, just like he hadn't told her where they were going, or who else was helping them. The less everyone knew, the less they could give away if everything went sideways. She wasn't going to argue. "Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow," she echoed. "Do you really think they're going to fall for it?"
He shrugged. "I guess we're just going to have to be convincing."
She nodded. "Okay."
"Are you sure -"
She didn't know if she would have been able to reassure him, but it didn't matter, as he was interrupted by a loud bang on the door. He grabbed her, tugging her across his lap, and she heard the distinctive sound of the hatch creaking open behind her. She fell forward onto him, and he placed a hand low on her back to steady her, pulling her closer to him.
"Kiss me," he said, and she froze. He moved first, sliding a hand around the back of her neck to pull her close enough to kiss her. It was enough to shock her into reacting, and she kissed him back, putting on what she hoped was a good show for whoever thought interrupting them would be a good idea. She was still at an awkward angle, leaning to one side with her knee wedged in between his thighs, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, trying to negotiate a more comfortable position.
Of course, she reflected, as her hips grinded against his, there was such a thing as getting too comfortable. Especially with an audience.
Their visitor chose that moment to clear his throat, and Maggie turned around, hoping she looked suitably caught-in-the-act. By the way her breathing felt a little shallow, she didn't doubt it.
"Private," Lee said evenly, looking over her shoulder at the marine standing in the doorway. There was a look on the marine's face that would have been unreadable, if Maggie hadn't known exactly what he was thinking.
Well, if nobody thought they were frakking before, they would now.
She wanted to move, but Lee's arms around her waist kept her where she was, twisting her body to put as much space between them as possible. Which wasn't a lot, all told, and eventually she gave up, falling back against him as his thumb moved back and forth over the exposed skin above the waistband of her pants.
She couldn't see the marine any more, but she could hear the shuffle of his feet as he backed up, hear voices drifting in from outside the duty locker. The hatch was still open, making a joke of whatever facade of privacy they'd constructed, and with Lee pressed up against her, the fact that they were both fully clothed wasn't helping her feel any less exposed.
"Did you want something?" Lee asked. There was more than a hint of irritation in his voice, and she wondered if it was all for show. She was sure she'd be thinking a whole lot more clearly if she could just get up, but he wasn't letting her move, even if she'd wanted to.
"No, sir," the marine said, sounding caught somewhere between amusement and an apology. "I was just ..."
Checking on them. Maybe she'd underestimated how seriously they took their jobs. That could make things hard tomorrow.
Or it could make things hard right now.
"Then if you wouldn't mind waiting outside?" Lee asked in clipped tones.
There was silence, then the sound of footsteps, and the hatch closing again. Maggie let out a breath, and looked up. Lee had his lips pressed together like he was trying to hide a smile, and his hands hadn't stopped tracing circles on her skin.
"Close call," she muttered.
He did smile, then, and she couldn't help joining him, laughing softly against his shoulder.
"We were pretty convincing," he said.
That was one way of putting it. She was still flush against him; he felt pretty convinced, too.
"As long as you bring your 'A' game tomorrow."
"I always bring my 'A' game," he said, his voice low beside her ear, and she shivered. She should probably move. She should definitely move.
She let her hands fall to her sides, but Lee was still holding her; when she tried to stand, he tugged her back down, and she had to clutch at his shoulders for balance.
"They're still out there," he said, but he sounded less convincing. "They'll probably expect us to take a while."
"You're pretty confident," she said.
"I aim to please." His hands moved up her side, under her tanks, making goosebumps stand out on her flesh.
"Really?" It wasn't much, but she was having trouble forming rational thoughts; her mouth was dry, and Lee's hands never stopped moving.
She didn't doubt it. Lee Adama didn't do things in half measures.
"Besides, I'd hate to disappoint them. Imagine what they'll say if you reject me now."
"Worried about your reputation?"
He shrugged. "It's not my first concern."
She reached back to help him out of his jacket, pushing him further back on the rack. "Wouldn't want them to think we weren't on the level."
"Exactly," he said, pulling her tanks over her head. "We do have a cover to maintain."
"Then we'd better not blow it." She leaned down to kiss him, dragging his lower lip gently between her teeth. He responded by clutching her tighter, adjusting her position on his lap, and she pressed closer into him.
"This isn't working," she said after a minute.
He pulled back to look at her, a crease wrinkling his forehead. "You don't want to do this?"
She shook her head, and then laughed. "I mean, we're still half-dressed."
"We can fix that," he said. He lifted her so she was standing, and pushed her back against the lockers as he pulled her pants down over her hips, and she shivered at the feel of the cold metal against her back. Gods, but this was the last thing they needed to be doing right now.
She really didn't frakking care.
She helped him with his buckle, then pushed him back down onto the rack, feeling his fingers dig into her skin, feeling him arch up to meet her.
"If you ding my raptor," she said, shifting slightly, and Lee drew in an audible gasp. "I'll kill you."
"Understood," he said. The end of the word came out in a low moan as she sank down, and she fell forward, bracing herself against the bed. For the first time since this whole thing began, she really hoped the marines knew how to do their jobs.
Gods help her, if they let anyone into the duty locker before they were done, she'd take care of them herself. In the meantime, maybe Lee's armed guards were making themselves useful, after all.
At least she was pretty sure they wouldn't need any more convincing after this.

Report | Southend United 0-4 Millwall
Millwall returned to winning ways and signed off 2015 with a thumping 4-0 win at Play-Off rivals Southend United.
The Lions roared into a 3-0 half-time lead courtesy of goals from Joe Martin (27mins), Shaun Cummings (35mins) and Fred Onyedinma (45+1min) with Aiden O'Brien's 70th-minute strike the icing on the cake.
It was a timely return to form for Neil Harris' side, who not only ended Southend's eight-game unbeaten League run, but handed The Lions their first League points in four starts.
Manager Neil Harris made four changes to the side that started against Walsall; Cummings and Byron Webster replaced right-back Carlos Edwards and centre-half Sid Nelson respectively, whilst Ed Upson and George Saville returned to midfield with Jimmy Abdou and Shane Ferguson dropping to the bench.
Millwall started on the front foot, forcing three corners in the opening four minutes, but without really testing Dan Bentley in the home goal.
At the other end Southend had a couple of efforts on goal in the opening quarter of an hour with a hooked seventh-minute effort from Noel Hunt dropping wide of the upright and an Adam Barrett header flying over the bar from the Shrimpers' first corner of the game.
Although there was plenty of effort from both sets of players, clear scoring chances were at a premium as the first-half approached the halfway mark with the defences well organised.
However once The Lions made the breakthrough on 27 minutes, the home side self imploded in quite spectacular fashion.
Millwall's opening goal owed as much to the determination of Onyedinma, who worked his magic on the byline before seeing his cross cleared. The ball fell invitingly to Martin, lurking on the edge of the penalty area, and the left-back took aim from 16 yards and drilled a low shot that flew into the back of the net via the inside of the left post.
The home side were close to silencing the 1,745 jubilant travelling fans just 60 seconds later as an acrobatic close range volley from David Worrall flew straight into the arms of David Forde.
Millwall were soon back on the attack and doubled their lead on 35 minutes. Rampaging right-back Cummings eased his way into a good position and sent over a deep cross that drifted over everyone, smacked the woodwork and then bounced off keeper Bentley and rebounded into the back of the net. Technically it may have been an own goal, but you try taking it away from Cummings!
Onyedinma was inches away from adding a third goal, wriggling into the penalty area and sending an angled shot agonisingly wide of the far post as The Lions really took a hold of the game.
Morison nearly made it 3-0 after 39 minutes, latching onto the loose ball following a misunderstanding between Leonard and keeper Bentley, and although the skipper did well to win possession, he squeezed his shot a yard off target.
The rampant Lions were not to be denied, however, and chief tormentor Onyedinma grabbed a third goal in first-half injury-time, lashing home from close range after Morison's initial shot had been blocked on the line by Bentley.
Southend responded to their first-half collapse by bringing on Stephen McLaughlin and Gary Deegan for Ben Coker and Worrall, and made their third substitution - Joe Pigott for Noel Hunt - within nine minutes of the restart.
It was The Lions who picked up where they left off, and O'Brien was denied his first goal in nine games when Bentley produced a superb reaction save to claw the striker's goalbound header away following another Onyedinma delivery.
The Shrimpers tried desperately to get a foothold back in the game, but were thwarted as superb defensive blocks from Webster and then Martin denied sub Pigott.
Millwall were not rattled by this small spell of Southend pressure, and made sure of all three points on 70 minutes with a goal that started at the back courtesy of Forde's clearance, was picked up by Saville who played it on to Morison. His one-two and superbly weighted pass with O'Brien sent the striker clear and he dispatched a cool low finish that arrowed into the bottom corner.
Academy graduates Ben Thompson and Alfie Pavey entered the fray for Millwall in the last 10 minutes, along with loanee Shane Ferguson, but the game had already been won and Millwall saw out the final stages with confidence and composure.
Southend United:
Bentley, White, Coker (McLaughlin, 46mins), Thompson, Worrall (Deegan, 46mins), Mooney, Payne, Atkinson, Hunt (Pigott, 54mins), Leonard, Barrett. Subs not used: Smith, Prosser, Hurst, Rea.
Deegan (57mins), Mooney (77mins)
Forde, Cummings, Martin, Beevers, Webster, Onyedinma (Ferguson, 86mins), Saville, Williams, Upson, Morison (Pavey, 88mins), O'Brien (Thompson, 80mins). Subs not used: Archer, Nelson, Philpot, Abdou.
Williams (59mins)

The blue-chip index initially breached the magic 4700 level with an early gain of 41.9 points before drifting on sporadic profit-taking to finish 22.2 points better at 4681.8, still a 27-month high.
Late-morning confirmation from Man U that it had received an approach, believed to be from US investor and 19.2% shareholder Malcolm Glazer, lifted the Red Devils' shares 13 3/4p to 271p.
Coming hard on the heels of private equity fund Cinven's takeover approach on Friday for sports retailer JJB , 5p off at 237p, and Charterhouse Group's £1.35bn purchase of insurance travel company Saga , it raised hopes that the fourth quarter will be littered with mouthwatering mergers and acquisitions, which should keep share prices moving north.
Bids and deals are meat and drink to most City firms. One fund manager said: 'It certainly does feel as though Christmas bonuses will be paid this year. There are quite a few other deals simmering.'
Wall Street bolstered London with a fresh early gain of 77 points. An easier oil price, and optimism that the forthcoming third-quarter results season will please, prompted renewed buying in New York.
Revived rumours of a possible bid from US bank Citigroup lifted Barclays Bank 12p to 556p. Abbey National, about to be swallowed by Banco Santander of Spain, rose 12 1/2p to 583 1/2p.
LloydsTSB gained 5 3/4p to 443 3/4p and HBOS 16 1/2p to 781 1/2p. Reflecting the current bullish trend, insurers made good progress. Prudential firmed 14p to 475 1/2p, Friends Provident 3 1/2p to 146 1/2p and Legal & General 2 1/2p to 105p.
Drinks giant Diageo jumped 16p to 712 1/2p after announcing plans to sell 49.9m shares in General Mills. The US foods giant will buy back 16.5m of the 49.9m shares and will fund the repurchase by selling an $835m stake in its cereal business, General Mills Cereals, to an affiliate of Lehman Bros.
News of the appointment of Stuart Black as chief operating officer left support services provider Mears unchanged at 184p. Broker Arbuthnot says 'buy' because Black has more than 20 years' experience within support services organisations.
He will strengthen the management team and ensure that the forecast strong growth in revenues and profits will be delivered. Vague rumours of a bid approach at around 5 1/2p per share helped former Hansard PR firm Financial Development Corporation close 1/4p dearer at 3 1/4p.
Caplay, the former Leisureplay cash shell, rose 1 1/4p to 5 1/8p on hearing that racehorse owner Terry Ramsden had increased his shareholding by 20m shares and now holds 25.94%.
Buy and Fly! promotions company Landround gained 20p at 227 1/2p. Trading in the second half to end-September has been in line with expectations.
Rumours of an imminent announcement regarding a joint venture with an on-line Asian company helped NETeller advance 13p to 264 1/2p. Dealers say it should it hook on to the huge Asian gambling market, the upside could be vast.
RAM Investment scored a gain of 11 1/2p at 64p after signing a deal with the world footballers' representative body FIFPro to stage and televise major football awards, where the nominees are voted for by the players around the globe. The first ceremony will be held in London in September 2005.
Fund manager Fidelity has been a persistent seller of bombed-out Eurodis Electron of late but it rallied 1/8p yesterday to 1 3/4p. Chairman Doug Rogers has been dipping his toes in and apparently has plans to pick up a few more cheap ones in the near future.
Renewed buying on Iraqi oil prospects helped Petrel Resources touch 157 1/2p before closing 12 1/2p higher at 133p.
Alternative Investment Market-listed print and on-line publisher Vitesse Media held at 24 1/2p despite higher interim profits and the forecast of a higher full-year outcome than last year. To complement its thriving events business, it is about to acquire One Events Ltd, whose owner Anita Howard is joining the VM team. More than 600 people will be attending its 'Investor All Stars' event on October 13 which has attracted big sponsors.

To promote the virtue of filial piety and instill in every child the right values towards the elderly.
To educate everyone that we should not forget our roots in the future when we grow up, especially the love and care our parents gave us in our younger years.
Yes it does. Overall, the advertisement is very touching and emphasizes the importance of filial piety within everyone through the actions of both mother and son.
Also, it shows the love and acceptance for a mother from a son's perspective, unlike the harsh act of abandoning their own parents in the old folks' home from typical grown ups.
An aged old lady, her son, her grandson
The filial piety towards the son's mother despite her harsh attitude towards him, such as insisting on living with her sister and not wanting them to take care of her
Initially, it screened the current situation of the son's mother, who was hospitalised. After that, it shifted back in the past where it shows the mother's harsh treatments towards the son and his tolerance for his mother.
Emphasizes on filial piety through the actions of the son, which includes patience and tolerance for his mother. Has a very realistic and natural view towards the elderly.
This advertisement is trying to spread the importance and values of filial piety which every person should have.
The harsh attitude the mother has towards her son tolerated by her son's patience and love for his mother. Also, the flashback scene whereby it portrays his mother's love and care for him through her worried and desperate face when he was sick.
Overall, it was dimly lit
Slow and sad background piano music
Background music are mostly sad and melancholy e.g: Rain drops, heart beat machine

Top-seeded Oaks Christian had everything to lose Tuesday in a Southern Section Div. IV baseball semifinal against visiting San Dimas, but still the host Lions decided to save their best for last - as in the championship game Saturday - and the strategy paid off.
Resisting temptation to return ace pitcher Phil Bickford to the mound after the projected first-round draft choice pitched five innings four days earlier, Oaks Christian instead put its faith in Spencer Vogelbach, and junior delivered with a 3-0 victory to thrust the Lions into the final for the first time.
Vogelbach limited San Dimas to three singles, retiring the side in order in both the sixth and seventh innings, finishing with seven strikeouts and allowing just one runner to cross second base.
Oaks Christian (28-3-1) plays El Rancho, a 5-4 winner over Baldwin Park, in the championship at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at UC Riverside.
"I just wanted to go out and do my job for the team, and it was very important to bring my `A' game," Vogelbach said. "It's phenomenal to get to a final, and I'm sure Phil Bickford will shut `em down on Saturday."
San Dimas (26-7) also did not have its No. 1 pitcher, as Jimmy Lambert, at 13-1 one of the state's win leaders, was not available after being touched Friday for four earned runs on 10 hits.
Instead, San Dimas went with right-hander Daniel Milwee, primarily a catcher who had pitched just 18 innings this season, including one appearance in the previous 6<MD+,%30,%55,%70>1/<MD-,%0,%55,%70>2 weeks.
Milwee (2-1), a junior, gave up three runs, all earned, on nine hits, three for extra bases, and he was helped by three Oaks Christian baserunners being thrown out, including a close play at the plate, as the San Dimas played errorless defense.
"Oaks Christian was the best hitting team we've faced all year," Milwee said. "They came out and really swung the bat. They're a really good team, and I wish the them the best of luck in the finals."
Oaks Christian's players penciled in No. 19 on their caps in honor of junior pitcher Kyle Ohanian, who was diagnosed a few weeks ago with Hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of cancer.
Jack Kruger was 2 for 3 with two RBIs and run, Chris Davis added a single, run and walk, and Harrison Hoff singled and scored.

This is one hell of a package deal.
I'd love tickets to this fight. For the record, it's because I really want to see Manny knock Floyd out. Yup, I said it.
'Sheri's Ranch' is a brothel in Nevada that is offering a huge bundle offer for one of the biggest boxing fights to ever go down.
Your $100,000 gets you:
Two tickets to the fight
A weekend's stay at the lodge
Airfare to Vegas and back (from within the U.S.)
Car service to and from the fight and the airport
And the main part of the deal…
The chance to 'visit' any and all of the 24 girls on the ranch.
If that is your kind of thing, and you are minted, it sounds like one hell of a weekend.
I'll probably watch it on the telly with my ugly mates instead. Gutted.

A hooklength formula for the number of rim hook tableaux is used to obtain an inequality relating the number of rim hook tableaux of a given shape to the number of standard Young tableaux of the same shape. This provides an upper bound for a certain family of characters of the symmetric group. The analogues for shifted shapes and rooted trees are also given. Bibliography: 13 titles.

I remember it also, I was only 11 years old but 140 feet ??? That is as tall as a 14 story building.<quoted text>
Those of us who were teens back then, this is part of those stories you tell your children. I walked 5 miles to school, uphill both ways, etc. Or it's a typo. The snow banks were really high. There are pictures in my senior yearbook.

16 years old @ the time. A buddy of mine invited a bunch of friends over to celebrate his birthday (while his parents were out of town). Back then about 1/2 our friends could buy alcohol at certain stores. Although I don't condone underage drinking now... hey, it was the way it was. Everyone brought more than enough booze and "medicinal herb" + there was his Mom & Dads' bar. About 15-20 teens total, snowed in for a 3 birthday party. Walking home on the severely drifted road, the power lines were only about 5-6 feet overhead.
#64 Jan 26, 2010
Hastings, MI By the time I got out of work at 3A.M. the night of the storm the blizzard was at its worse. I still wanted to get home to my family. Luckily I was able to follow a semi until I came to my road. I walked two miles with only a winter coat. By the time I got home I had walked through snow that was waist deep and drifts that were chest deep. I was young and stupid and was lucky to have made it.
#65 Jan 26, 2010
We lived on North Shore Dr.in Ferrysburg at that time. The road was completely snowed in for several days. Finally once the snow and wind decreased, a construction company owner (who lived at the very end of the road near the pier) had one of his front end loaders clear a lane the entire stretch. If it hadn't been for his help, we would have been snowed in many more days.
#66 Jan 26, 2010
I was very pregnant. 68th between division and Eastern was a snowmobile track for days. Snowmobiles were enlisted to take medical personal to work. At the time it was great fun.. but then I didn't have to go out of the house.(my condition of course) and thankfully I gave birth a few weeks later.

I was 10 and will never forget my Dad opening the electric garage door and all we saw was SNOW! A complete wall of snow from the roof to the ground, I was so awed...my Dad was not.

We had just moved back to Michigan from south central Missouri. When that storm hit, we didn't even own a snow shovel, so I trudged about 2 1/2 blocks in snow to my thighs to a relative's house to borrow a shovel. Our driveway was completely drifted over and it had banks on both sides! What a learning experience for my husband who was the transplant - I was raised here.
#69 Jan 26, 2011
I was in Florida when the storm hit. The news down there was really bad but I'm a Michigander and thought it was just another lake storm. On the way home when we got to Indiana and there were tanks on the roads. I lucked out and got one of the last hotel rooms left. We had a blast for three days before we could safely go home.
#70 Jan 26, 2011
My dad was to go on call at the hospital when the storm hit. We lived in the country way way back in the woods, East of Muskegon. He could not get out and about 1:00am we saw spot lights and plow lights working their was back into our yard. A plow was followed by a volunteer who picked my dad up with a four wheel drive.Very few people had four wheel drives and the police were asking people to help pick up hospital personel.

I was stranded in Traverse City for 3-4 days and my friend and I and a adopted passenger was the first to get out of town. On the way out we made our way down a city street and there on the State Theatre marquee was the movie playing " OH GOD " truer words were never spoken.

The blizzard of 78 was amazing. My husband and I had just purchased our first home in Jenison. The drifts were higher than the garage door. 28th street was CLOSED. I was an OB nurse at Metro...somebody came to pick me up for work in a Jeep. Although we lived 3 houses from the corner...I walked in 3-4 feet of snow to get to the Jeep. The nurses stayed until other nurses could get in to relieve us. I had never seen that much snow before or since!
#74 Jan 26, 2014
I was a student at GVSU and lived on 52nd St in Allendale, a friend of mine was having a blizzard partly , Lake Michigan Drive was closed, so another friend of mine and I Cross Country skied to the party! School was closed for a couple of days, we did a lot Cross Country skiing that winter..
I remember the winds and whiteout conditions lasted for quite sometime.

I lived in Big Rapids at the time. I lived out of town and because school was closed so often many days we were sent to school only to be sent home early. The snow was awesome. Even today I don't mind be stuck at home after 4 days. I have plenty of homework, cleaning and crafts to do. I like to hibernate.

I lived in Freeport Michigan. We went to bed that night not having a clue. I was 15. We woke up to find snow up past our thighs in the middle of the road. We had two weeks off from school. Every night a group of us kids would sit and listen to the radio to see if school was closed. It was so bad, we would know by five or six in the evening if school was closed the next day. I remember people on snowmobiles were being asked to make grocery runs and medical runs for folks. Crazy winter.
