Count on Fred
Count on Fred: What do two meatballs, plus two hard-boiled eggs, plus marinara sauce, plus angel-hair pasta equal? Capellini alla palermo ($7.95), one of the house specialties at Fred's Italian Corner (2278 West Holcombe, 713-665-7506). The angel-hair pasta is buried under a load of thick, slightly sweet, ruby-red marinara sauce. The meatballs impart a noticeable heat that permeates the rest of the dish, and the hard-boiled eggs add an interesting texture to the sauce. It all adds up to a simple, more-than-satisfying dish.

Chief executive John Clare said like-for-like group sales rose by 5% over the 18 weeks to 4 September, although gross margins across the group were 0.4% lower, reflecting a higher level of business-to-business sales and lower credit commissions.
There were 'encouraging signs' of recovery at the Dixons chain and The Link phones business continues to perform well.
'While it is too early to extrapolate these trends for the balance of the year, the group is well placed for a year of progress,' Clare said.
Woolworths reduced first-half losses from £36.4m to £34.4m, and says it is moving towards the vital Christmas season 'with confidence' despite a slowdown in underlying sales growth.
Sales for the six months to 31 July were up 5.9% to £1.11bn, and the interim dividend is raised by 8.3% to 0.39p. Margins improved by 0.6%.
Chief executive Trevor Bish Jones said preparations for Christmas have been advanced by three weeks this year and he expects the big sellers to be Harry Potter and Shrek 2 DVDs.

Senior Punjab BJP leader Balramji Das Tandon on Wednesday sought the intervention of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) for "a permanent solution" to the clashes between the followers of Dera Sacha Sauda and the Sikh religious activists in the wake a similar incident at Dhudike, near Moga.
Seeking police protection for the congregations of the dera and of all other faiths, Tandon, in a statement here, said, "It is also required that the state government and the SGPC authorities should find out a permanent solution to this tangle."
"It is very shocking that after a lapse of some months, a radical Sikh organisation started a clash at Dhudike, where a religious congregation for having 'nam charcha' by Dera Sacha Sauda was to take place," he said.
"Had the police force not reached there, the situation so created by such radical elements would have taken a very dangerous turn. It is absolutely wrong that any person or organisation may be bent upon to prevent a religious congregation of some other faith," he said.
The country's Constitution allows peaceful congregation of any faith at any place, which cannot be forbidden by one or the other party, he added.

QUINCY — The most impressive overall performance from Butte's opener is up for debate, because there were so many strong ones. But there's no questioning that Robert Frazier's play from start to finish was a catalyst in the Roadrunners' opening-day victory over Feather River on Saturday night.
Frazier ran for 145 yards with two touchdowns, from 33 and 32 yards, pacing Butte's dominant run game. The Elk Grove product displayed speed, decisiveness and vision as the Roadrunners' lead tailback. He gave the credit to the offensive line.
"Our linemen blocked great. It was great for me to get used to the speed of the game," he said. "They were opening up holes, making it easy for me to read. I was able to get used to the speed of it and it got easier."
Butte's dedication to the run game was a pleasant surprise for Frazier, who said he had heard that Butte's program revolved around power offense but didn't quite get to see it firsthand until camp started this season. Determined to make a name for himself away from home and thus looking beyond Sacramento-area recruiting powers Sacramento City and American River, Frazier said he was 100-percent dedicated to Butte from the minute the two sides were in contact.
"I'd heard throughout high school about the run game, did my research and knew this is where I wanted to be," Frazier said. "Our first game kind of showed that. They show good trust in the running backs and we had a good night on the ground."
Indeed, Frazier wasn't alone. Backfield mates Kendall Williams (135 yards) and Armand Bokitch (90 yards) picked up the slack and then some when Butte's starting tailback wasn't on the field, and Frazier said he's certain he'll be pushed all year long.
"You can't take a day off here. The depth chart can change at any moment," he said. "It's a good thing to have, that competition."
Frazier said the season opener could be an indicator of Butte's success this season, particularly because so many of the "little things" — blocking assignments, play-calling and other adjustments usually not perfected until late in the season — seemed to be ahead of schedule. And, more than that, the talent screams out.
"I feel this team has something special," Frazier said. "Everybody's all in and committed and we're looking great."

The sun rose over the treetops and pierced through the partially open slats of the bedroom blinds. Birds began chirping mercilessly outside the window, those terrible little sadists. The woman groaned and rolled on to her back, away from the rays which sliced through the still morning air. She didn't care to open her eyes to look at the clock; she didn't want to know the time. She just wanted five more minutes of sleep.
Maybe ten.
It was at that point her bladder made its presence felt, and the woman groaned again. She pushed aside the comforter and swung her bare legs over the edge of the bed and on to the floor. She hung her head and stared at her toes for a minute while she waited for the room to stop spinning around her. Her stomach lurched in protest. The woman hid behind her hair and stood and stretched. She was tall and lean, and her arms had an impressive wingspan which nearly reached the ceiling. She rolled her head and scratched her scalp, smirked when her neck popped loudly, and began to feel a little more like herself. She looked back at her bed and saw the mostly covered (and probably naked) form of Neil, one of the chief litigators at the firm where she worked. She was annoyed that she had allowed him to connive his way into her panties again, but that would have to be dealt with later. Presently she had to pee.
She walked silently down the hall to the bathroom and was just about to turn in when her phone rang. Bladder be damned because the ring tone was the one she had set for the office. She followed the tune to the dining room, where she found her Blackberry warbling away under yesterday's silk blouse, amid other clothes strewn about the room. What the hell had happened last night? Wow.
She cleared her throat and put the phone to her ear as she retraced her steps to the john, "Hello?"
"Erica, it's Denslan."
"Yeah," she croaked, "what's up?"
"Have you been watching TV this morning?"
Erica sat on the toilet and covered the mouthpiece as she relieved herself. Hoping Denslan couldn't hear her peeing on the other end, she said, a little too loud, "Uhhhhh no."
"God! You're echoing. Are you in a tunnel?"
"Nope. I'm home, in myyyyy kitchen."
"All right," Denslan said, "Cliff Notes version: guy kills a hooker two nights ago and cuts her into pieces with a machete or something. What are those ninja swords called?"
"Mmmm, katanas?"
"Maybe. I don't know. Anyway, his mother calls Mr. Allenson in the middle of the goddamn night to have us represent the little nutcase."
"Ummm, no motive?"
"None. He doesn't even remember bringing her home last night. Says he was framed, or drugged, or aliens did it, who knows."
Erica finished in the bathroom as quietly as she could and left without flushing. Once in the hallway again, her brain began to clear and get rolling, "What about a history of mental illness?"
"Guy's clean as a whistle. He's never been arrested, cited, or pulled over as far as we know. The only picture we could dig up is his friggin' Senior picture from his yearbook. The guy's a mensch."
She thought about it, then asked, "Do we know he did it?"
"Oh yeah. Slam dunk. The dipshit didn't even clean the sword. We got DNA, his fingerprints, her blood all over the goddamn murder weapon. A first year Law student couldn't fuck up this conviction."
"So, why?"
"That's where you come in. We need the best damn investigator we got. We need Erica Lanesboro, Chief Swingin' Dick around here."
Erica put her hand to her head and cursed herself for all that vodka last night at the club, and for the pulsating pounding of the dance music which continued to throb with every heartbeat inside her head.
"I've got to shower. I'll see you in forty-five."
"We'll be here."

Pef-olof Bjuggren, Dennis C. Mueller, "The Modern Firm, Corporate Governance and Investment"
Edward Elgar Publishing | 2009 | ISBN: 1848442254 | 340 pages | PDF | 4,9 MB
This book explores the revolutionary development of the theory of the firm over the past 35 years. Despite rapid progress in the field, new developments in the microeconomic and industrial organization literature have been relatively scant. This book attempts to redress the balance by providing a comprehensive overview of the theory of the firm before moving on to explore firms and the organization of their economic activities.
The contributors investigate the impact of ownership structure and board composition on firm performance, and examine how the institutional framework of an economy affects investment decisions. More specifically, detailed studies of topics including contracts, authority, competence blocs, institutional impacts and corporate governance mechanisms are presented.
This unique blend of financial economics and industrial organization perspectives on the corporate firm will prove a stimulating read for scholars and researchers of economics, business administration and law.

The Barracks of Company CMature
In the murky mosquito infested swamp waters of Johnson Bayou, live many dangerous fearless alligators, deadly poisonous snakes, and other loathsome creatures; these waters are also the home of Fort Hope and the ferocious U. S. Army Ranger Covert Operations Division. Fort Hope is located 43 miles southwest of Hackberry, Louisiana. The military placed the base on the north side of Johnson Bayou. Constructed in 1942 in the middle of the Louisiana's humid swamps, Fort Hope is the smallest of three covert operations installation inside our border. They respond only to orders from the President and the Department of Defense in Washington D.C.
Jamal was delighted that he had finally received his belongings. It had taken over two months for his antique furniture and all of his other belongings to arrive from Fort Benning. After loading the heavy cardboard moving boxes into the bed of his restore antique pickup truck; Jamal quickly started the loud engine of his 1964 Ford step side pickup truck. The deep bellow of the high performance engine thundered through the dual tailpipes. The thin white metal speed odometer needle quickly shot pass fifty and abruptly stopped on eighty-five. He headed toward Company C's barracks with the back of his Ford truck packed with moving boxes and a small wooden roll top desk.
Jamal glanced at his black Army issued combat watch on his right wrist as he raced down the two-lane state road 27. The radio announcer's smooth voice came from the two 15 inch Pioneer competition woofers behind the seat of the truck. 'It is 10:37 a.m., Monday, July 9, 2001.' His deep bass voice flowed out of speakers, 'It is a steamy 98 degrees and rising this hot summer morning. The National Weather Service said this heat wave should last for at least three more days. By Sunday, we should get some rainfall, folks.' As he pulled the midnight blue Ford into the barracks parking lot, KRSX call letters were given out over the radio. The tires loudly screeched as Jamal quickly slowed the dusty truck down.
The four-story brown brick building of C Company was built around 1968 to replace World War II barracks that were destroyed by Hurricane Mary. However, because of the harsh swamp conditions and the humid temperatures, the old brick building quickly aged. Jamal planned to make this co-ed building home for the next few years or at least until he can save enough money to move off base. The unit sergeant assigned him a large room at the end of the hall on the second floor. Six hours ago, Jamal's belongings arrived on the large military base and now a dozen plain brown moving boxes littered the white vinyl tile floor of the room. He carefully hung a picture of his family on the white wall over his army issued gray metal twin bed. His black Dell laptop was plugged into the beige wall socket next to the small wooden antique roll-top desk. As Jamal finish unpacking his things, a breeze from the air conditioner slightly moved the sheer blue curtain by the only window in the room.
The summer on the concrete lined military base was extremely hot and humid. The temperature on an average summer day could quickly reach the three-digit mark. As tiny semi transparent waves of heat flickered from the hot brown brick windowsill, Jamal reached over some unopened cardboard boxes to open the apartment-sized white refrigerator to get a Coca-Cola. The refrigerator was empty except for one half-empty bottle of tropical punch Gatorade. 'I should have stopped by the store before I came to the room,' he said aloud. Jamal was very hot and thirsty. He unpacked the last of his military field gear, stacked the empty cardboard boxes by the brown wooden door to his room, and headed for the drink machine in the open recreational area of the coed barracks. During this time of the day, soldiers filled the room to watch television, shoot pool, or just lay around. It cost one dollar for a sixteen-ounce drink. Jamal fished around in the faded pockets of his Levi's 501 button fly jeans for some change, as he hastily strolled over to the large red Coca-Cola drink machine. After dropping four shiny quarters in the waiting drink machine, he carefully made his selection and waited for the cold drink to appear.
A few seconds later, a cold clear plastic bottle tumbled into the opening. His hand reached in and retrieved his much-desired drink. Jamal held the cold wet bottle in his left hand and promptly twisted open the cap with the other. He slowly brought the perspiring bottle to his open mouth and gladly felt the cold beverage drench his parched throat. As he stood by the machine quenching his thirst, a very angry unit sergeant burst through the tan metal door of the barracks and immediately approached him. 'Private Walker, the captain has been looking for you. He wants you in his office, like yesterday. What are you waiting for private? I said m. o. v. e., MOVE IT, MOVE IT,' the angry unit sergeant loudly screamed at a startled Jamal.
The captain's office was located in the Special Ops building. It was built on a small hill overlooking the personnel building. The distance was about two miles due west of the barracks. Quickly, Jamal opened the tan door of the barracks and ran across the hot base. He decided to take a short cut through the parade grounds where the soldiers played football. Running at top speed, Jamal reached the Special Operations building in about four minutes.

Sl 1, bring yarn to RS of work, return slipped st back to LH needle, turn work, sl 1 purlwise.
bvasically how can you tell which is the rght and wrong side of the work also what does purlwise meen when it says slip one purlwise also when it says turn work what does that mean?
When determining the RS and WS of the work, essentially it just asking you which side will be seen and which side will not. The side that will be seen is the RS, the side that will not is the WS. For some patterns it doesn't matter (ie. garter stitch). In others it is very important (ie stockinette stitch).
As for the purlwise indication, it means that you should insert the needle into the next stitch as if you were going to purl it. However, instead of wrapping the yarn and actually making a purl stitch, you are simply going to pull the stitch off the left needle and onto the right needle.
As for turning the work, you are going to turn the work around as if you had hit the end of a row. Eventhough you will be in the middle of a row.
It looks to me like you are doing a short row. There is a video under the videos tab at the top of this website that shows how to do a short row. The technique you are doing is called a wrap and turn, or it will be abbreviated as W&T for short.
There's another tutorial for short row W&T at knitty. Somewhere the pattern may have indicated that even rows or odd rows were the RS, it can help to put a marker or piece of yarn on that side so you know where it is later.
Purlwise is how you insert the needle when you slip it, not where the yarn is.

Deloitte Review issue 6
Life after the Great Recession likely will be quite different. And perhaps it should be. In The Long Unwinding Road, we look at the imbalances that shaped the global economy until recently. The recalibration of consumer borrowing, saving and spending worldwide suggests that the rules for consumer businesses, in particular, will change, with government policy playing a key role.
Stimulus spending and transparency: A false sense of security?
Many companies may underestimate the government's intent to show accountability to the electorate and to weed out fraud. Whether by miscalculation or simple misunderstanding of how far government mandates extend, failure to comply could leave unsuspecting companies vulnerable.Read
Survival of the Fattest
Over the last 40 years, a gradual shift in the shape of winning and losing has been playing out. The best-performing firms have seen their profitability surge. The worst performers are doing worse than ever. In the middle, however, performance is in decline even as the asset base controlled by ever more mediocre firms relegates ever-greater asset bases to stagnation.Read
The Long Unwinding Road
"If something cannot go on forever, it will stop," wrote economist Herbert Stein. In some ways, that describes the borrowing-saving imbalance in the global economy. While it may not stop soon, it is unlikely to increase and may wane. There are several scenarios through which the imbalance might be corrected, and the unwinding of that imbalance may well lead to a new path for global consumer spending.Read
If We Can Put a Man on the Moon
Government is taking a larger role in commerce, and new roles in automobile manufacturing, finance and potentially health care. Media coverage focuses on partisan disagreements that impede government action. There are approaches, however, that can enable the two camps to constructively work through differences, and these strategies can also be helpful when competing visions are at play in the private sector.Read
On Public-Private Partnerships
In April 2009, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton established the Global Partnership Initiative and subsequently appointed Elizabeth Frawley Bagley as the first Special Representative for Global Partnerships. The goal: to enhance the ability of the State Department to work with foundations, corporations and non-governmental organizations on issues of common importance to the public and private sectors.Read
Money and Borders
Governments appear to have become bigger players in economic affairs, and we may be entering an era in which nationalist ambitions will make globalization more difficult to manage. What is clear is the need for companies and funds pursuing cross-border investments to adapt their investment strategies and operations to function effectively at the intersection of government, business and finance.Read

Capitals assistant to coach Admirals
Paul Fenton wasn't worried about hiring another NHL assistant coach to lead the Milwaukee Admirals.
Fenton, the assistant general manager of the parent Nashville Predators, chose Dean Evason as the 20th head coach of the Admirals on Tuesday afternoon. A press conference will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday to introduce the 47-year-old Evason, who spent the previous seven seasons as an assistant with the Washington Capitals.
Last off-season, Kirk Muller left his position as assistant coach with the Montreal Canadians to replace Lane Lambert as Milwaukee's head coach. But Muller left 17 games into the season to become the head coach of the Carolina Hurricanes.
"I don't look at it that way," Fenton said. "Kirk's influence on the young guys we had after 17 games was tremendous. It was a different view outside of our circle of Nashville and vice versa here. If Dean gets an opportunity (to coach in the NHL), I'm never going to hold him back.
"What happened last year 17 games into the season is very uncharacteristic of what happens in pro sports. I'm not worried in the least part, especially after the process and the type of candidates I interviewed."
After Ian Herbers, who replaced Muller, unexpectedly left to take a college job in Canada a few weeks ago, Fenton said at least 45 people inquired about the Milwaukee job, and he interviewed over 10 of them.
Stan Drulia, who took Herbers' assistant position with Milwaukee this past season, was interviewed for the job but will remain in his same position.
"He and Dean have spoken," Fenton said. "They got off on the right foot and seem to be thinking with the same philosophy. I think Stan did such a good job last year with short notice. Every player I spoke to at our end-of-the-season meeting had nothing but good things to say about Stan."
Evason was selected by Washington in the fifth round of the 1982 draft and spent 13 seasons in the NHL with the Capitals, Hartford, San Jose, Dallas and Calgary. He finished with 139 goals and 233 assists in 803 games.
The native of Flin Flon, Manitoba, also was a player / coach for Team Canada and helped the squad to a gold medal at the 1997 World Hockey Championship in Finland.
Evason was head coach of three different teams in the Western Hockey League from 1999-2000 to 2004-'05. He became assistant coach with Washington the following season.
With the Capitals, he coached the penalty kill, which ranked as high as second in the league in the 2010-'11 season. Evason also worked with the forwards and on faceoffs.
Scott Ford, who was Milwaukee's captain last season, is fine with another NHL assistant running the show.
"We're in the position in the American Hockey League that everybody from the general manager to coaches to players to all the staff, the ultimate goal is to be in the best league around and that's the NHL," Ford said.
"Anytime you're here in the AHL, you always have dreams and aspirations to move forward. It's probably inevitable one day he's going to be given that opportunity to be that head guy at the national level. That's where we all aspire to be."
Will Jared Abbrederis stay healthy this season?

About the Owner
About Virginia Keenan
We are an Irish family and we have been living here, in this most beautiful of villages, for eleven years now and never tire of strolling through the country lanes helping ourselves to the occasional fig or cherry that grow in abundance by the side of the vines and the olive trees.
We followed our dream and have raised our two daughters here in Cotignac and believe it is a little corner of paradise. We would love to share it with you.
We will be here to meet you on arrival and look after you during your stay .
Don't hesitate to call us for advice about the area or our house . We are waiting to hear from you. See you soon.

Perfect place
It's always a pleasure to return to Cotignac and this gorgeous house. We really enjoyed using it as a base to tour around, it is perfectly situated in the centre of this beautiful part of Provence. It was an easy walk to village which is really lovely and typically Provençal. We'll be back!
Lovely house
We had a wonderful week at Les Fabres in the lead up to Christmas. The house has a fantastic terrace which is sheltered at this time of year and a complete sun trap. We didn't imagine we could be sitting out for sunny lunches in December. It was such a treat. This lovely home is fully equipped for winter evenings as well with a roaring log fire. We passed all our evenings just sitting around the beautiful fireplace by candlelight,,, a really special place. Lots of nice walks too in the surrounding area and there was a nice Christmas market in the village where we had mulled wine and pastries. We had a great trip and we would definitely come back and enjoy this gorgeous villa in the summer as well.
Fantastic villa for family holiday
Our family (5 adults and a one year old) had a fantastic holiday in this beautiful and quiet villa just outside Cotignac. The villa is very spacious with lots of room for us and our differing requirements. The kitchen was well equipped and the outdoor eating facilities excellent. The pool was very well used (especially as it was very hot during our stay) and the table tennis was much enjoyed. The separate TV room meant some could keep up with sport including the Tour de France. The travel cot was helpful for our little one. We enjoyed walks into Cotignac with good restaurants and shops as well as some trips further afield. Glen and Virginia were extremely helpful throughout.
Perfect Family Villa Holiday
My family and I had the most wonderful holiday in Virginia & Glen's Villa.
It was perfect for my husband and I and two daughters, their husbands and my four grandchildren.
The villa had all the facilities described, location stunning with amazing views and the pool was fantastic, the children were never out of the pool for the stay!!
We all love Cotignac for the ambience, culture and amazing restaurants!!
Glen & Virginia the owners provided excellent customer service.
We shall all definately return.
Lee & Terry Burke
Outstanding house.
A large group of family and friends enjoyed a glorious 2 week break in this gorgeous house. Virginia and Glen, our hosts, could not have been more helpful. The villa is very spacious and offers beautiful views from the large terrace. The swimming pool was enjoyed by all and the evening boules contests were fiercely contested. The open plan kitchen is very well equipped and airy. Cotignac which is a 10 -15 minute walk away, is a very picturesque village with many bars, restaurants and boulangeries. There are some excellent local walks and the bicycles provided were given a few outings. We enjoyed trips to St. Tropez and Cassis and many of the attractive surrounding villages. This truly is a beautiful part of Provence and one to which we hope to return in the near future.
Wonderfully relaxing retreat
Our large extended family enjoyed a fabulous week in Cotignac in Glen and Virginia's magnificent house. All ages were very content here, Nanna loved the secluded outdoor day bed and the variety of comfortable sitting areas at different times of the day whilst the children loved the boule and badminton court, table tennis, swimming pool and reliable wifi connection! I never tired of the breathtaking views from the poolside and cloudless blue skies or the local produce. The large dining table was put to good use in the evenings hosting family games and we appreciated having English channels on the t.v. (although we didn't watch it much!). Cotignac is a very pretty village with a good selection of pavement cafes/restaurants where it is fascinating to sit and watch the world go by. We flew to Marseille and hired a car and the journey to the house took just over an hour. We also visited Toulon and had a wonderful lunch on the harbour side. Although we had planned to visit more places, everyone was so happy at the house that we ended up enjoying a very lazy and relaxing week. We would wholeheartedly recommend this house and Glen and Virginia were excellent hosts.
Activity and Interests
.COTIGNAC, is one of the most beautiful villages in France offering a typical summer scene with its summer festival, weekly market, cafe terraces under the shady plane trees and its 4 seasons drinking fountain. It is a romantic and lively village, a gourmets paradise where you can savour locally produced cheeses, wines , olives and red ripe tomatoes. Pick them up at the market for a fabulous picnic.
It has all the shops you will need and a plentiful supply of restaurants and bars. There is a bank with an ATM, and some really good gift shops. Visit the sublime city of Aix en Provence for the day and watch the world go by on it's shady avenues or take a picnic to the beach, all within easy reach.
There is rafting, pedalos, and kayaking in the Lac St Croix . There are plenty of places to ride everywhere and excellent tracks for hiking and mountain biking. Or you may choose to just do nothing and laze by the pool with a good book, relaxing and recharging your batteries. Thats Cotignac

To understand rationally the function of protein that supports life activities, it is necessary to determine its 3D-structure at atomic level. The X-ray crystallography analysis had previously been the most efficient and popular way to determine protein 3D-structures at atomic level. However, it was revealed that proteins which can crystallize were only 40% of all genomes, even in the proteins originated in thermo-stable microorganism, as a result of structural genomics. It is too hard to crystallize the rest 60% proteins by conventional technology. To construct a high-throughput framework for the structure determination of challenging targets such as membrane proteins, we develop a new methodology using XFEL as well as extend the technical basis of protein crystallography established in the Protein 3000 Project.

Who cares. With colleges costing what it is today if its a degree from an acredited or respected institution, be happy and get a job. And of course its difficult for blacks to do well in engineering, math has to be a strong pre requisite and the public schools are woefully inadequate in math. The public school system has to improve, then blacks will be more represented. White suburban schools have it all, money, labs, better teachers. So of course they are going to do better DUH. us.news and world reports is overhyped, they come out with this list of colleges every year. If blacks schools were financed as much as whites we would kick their butts in everything. We already rule in physical power, give our schools the money and we would RULE academically as well. But whites already know this, reason why they kept blacks uneducated during slavery. Thats alright, blacks will just have to produce academically on our own. Hold on Bill Gates!!!we a coming sar.

Oh really? How the hell would you know that? Oh that's right, your only proof is some ranking poll. Like I said before, you do not attend the school, so how in the world would you know if its academic level is very poor?

The statistics don't support you. The graduation rate for blacks in engineering is quite low. If your college found one potential black engineering student from each state that would be 50. Maybe that's a big number to you but it's still one per state.

I was not debating the low graduation rate for blacks in egineering. You basically said that blacks are not capable of handling the coursework in those programs. You're basically spewing the same ugly stereotype that white people have been stating for centuries. Like someone has stated before, engineering is not a cake walk for anyone. It has NOTHING to do with the person's race.
#32 Nov 26, 2007
What do you mean that coming from a lesser school means lesser money? What makes a school less worthy than another school? Just because a school may be less well known does not mean that you will not make good money. The truth of the matter is, that for a Bachelors degree as long as your program is accredited it does not really matter where you go to school. Just have decent (above average grades.) Going to a well known school may open more doors for you, but that is no guarantee for success. Success is determined by many factors and have more to do with one's own personal drive and initiative, than the name of the school on your undergraduate degree.
Here are two articles that prove my point. http://www.usatoday.com/educate/college/caree...

Intelligence has a lot to do with race. blacks consistently score the lowest on IQ tests and as a race do poorly in math. This is fact not stereotype. Asians score the highest by race followed by whites followed by blacks. If you break it down by sub-racial categories, European Jews score the very highest and African pigmys score the lowest. Look it up.

Look WHAT up?
It is already PROVEN that race has nothing to do with itelligence. I've seen Physics professors from Eriteria and other African countries do quite well. My co-worker is black American and a very good software developer too.
One reason why there are not a lot of black engineers is because from an early age, many black students develop poor study habits or do not study at all. Black parents are absent from teacher/parent meetings and in American schools do not make their children's education a priority. I've seen this over and over and over again. I'm even related to people who all but ignore their children's academic presence.
An engineering degree requires a lot of studying and sacrifice. It can mean staying up late hours reading and writing formulas. It also involves a lot of concentration and analytical thinking. These kind of activities are viewed as "white" by some black people in America. Black students who DARE exhibit this ability in front of peers risk being ostracized, beaten, and mocked. That's just how it is.
An engineering degree is expensive. A lot of black students are not able to work and go to school for a number of years to earn an engineering degree.

When I visit my old college, I notice a lot of foreign national in/around the Engineering side of campus. It is not just a Black problem, but a problem in the U.S. education system. Too much emphasis on reading and positive "ego" stuff and not enough science and math. But hey, who cares, as long as they feel good about themselves.

Actually, I don't think anyone with better than average grades and a BS in Mechanical Engineering or any other Engineering degree will have a tough time finding a job. That was not the point I made. Going to Harvard may open more doors for you in the beginning but it is certainly no guarantee that you will make it to the top. Which was pointed out in the two articles that I have posted ,if you bothered to read them.
Again, to be successful and make it to the top takes so much more than the name on your diploma.

You made an excellent point. The majority of engineeing and science majors at my Midwestern university were primariliy Indians, Pakistanis, Chinese, and Koreans. Actually the majority of the Black engineering majors at my university were from African countries. Very few White students are majoring in engineering or science. It isn't that Black students aren't capable of doing the coursework. I am a Black woman and I earned almost all straight "A"'s in my math and science courses. Engineers and scientists are often sterotyped as "nerds" and "geeks" and is considered a "White" area of study. Young Blacks don't think these fields are "cool". A lot of Whites feel the same way. It just isn't Blacks that are underrepresented in the math, science, and engineering fields. There are very few women majoring in math, science, or engineering. Women often avoid these fields because they are afraid they won't be able to marry or have a family if they enter into the science or engineering fields. I majored in math and science and now work in IT. I was often the only women IT professional at many of the firms I worked at. I think that the "nerd" image of mathmeticians, scientists, and engineers needs to be changed in order to attract more women and minoroties into these important and worthwhile fields.

Again, did you read either of the articles that I posted? It is your initial response that makes me ask that question. On the slight chance that you did read them, and still think Harvard automatically paves one's life path full of gold.

Since when did it become automatic that just because a person can read that they also comprehend what they are reading? Reading and comprehension are two different things.

My Masters degree is a very rigorous one and many times the school management have expressed concern about interest shown by the locals as well as British enrollment. Generally, majority of children growing up in the developed world live in comfort zones and thus believe they do not require rigours of study to excel.

|Why Kevin Garnett comparing Jared Sullinger to Kendrick Perkins matters
|11.06.12 at 5:17 pm ET
It could be coincidence that Kevin Garnett compared Jared Sullinger to Kendrick Perkins three days after the rookie earned his first career NBA start for a coach who rarely even plays first-year guys, but it's probably not.
"Jared understands what we're doing," said Garnett. "He's a no-nonsense guy — not that I'm shooting anything at the other guys — but the young fella comes in, does his job and does what you tell him. He's a great rebounder, his IQ is unbelievable, he can pass the ball and he reminds me a lot of Perk. Obviously, he's not the defensive player that Perk was, but as far as IQ, moving the ball and being unselfish, he's a great teammate."
Don't forget the Doc Rivers-ism that the Celtics never lost a playoff series with his starting five of Perkins, Garnett, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen. Whether you consider Perkins overrated or not, he played a role for the Celtics: rebound, defend and finish around the basket. Sullinger fills that role.
"It means a lot, especially coming from Kevin," said Sullinger of the comparison to Perkins. "When Kevin gives anybody praise, he really likes you, I guess, so it's a blessing. But at the same time I've got to keep working. That's pretty much my motto: Just to keep working."
|Celtics notes: Doc Rivers announces, 'If we can't win with [KG] off the floor, we just won't win'
|at 2:32 pm ET
WALTHAM — It's been a recurring theme of the first week of the season. The Celtics need more out of their bench — much more.
Doc Rivers underscored that after open practice for special guests and clients on Tuesday. Rivers has told his team he's not going to lean on Kevin Garnett for more minutes when he's already trying to conserve the big man for an 82-game season. Rivers hinted the same could be said for Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo, though he feels he has some more wiggle room with them.
"No, no, I'm not going to let him do more. I'm going to play Kevin the same amount of minutes," Rivers said. "With Paul, Rondo you can go anywhere but if we can't win with him off the floor, we just won't win. And I told our bench that. We're going to play the minutes that I'm giving them. The bench will play the minutes they should get and if they've got to do something or we just won't win. It's that simple."
Garnett is averaging a reasonable 29 minutes a game in the first three games. Pierce is at 35 minutes and Rondo is playing 41 minutes per contest. Rivers has not yet seen the consistent production he would like from Chris Wilcox, Brandon Bass and Jeff Green but he feels it will come.
"Not yet but when you take Kevin out, you're not going to get Kevin," Rivers added. "That's why he's on the bench. But I don't think that's been an issue. When he's been off the floor, like last year, when he was off the floor, it had a dramatic [effect]. I don't think that's been the case so far this year at all. I think the guys that have come in have tried to do what they should do. I think the other guys with him have to do more."
Tuesday's practice featured detailed instruction from defensive guru Mike Longabardi, who was teaching trapping principles and defensive rules within the system, especially important to the newer players, like the three rookies and Jason Terry and Leandro Barbosa.
"Today was just a practice," Rivers said. "It's easier here because it's in your natural surroundings. It was a good practice."
Rivers again preached patience when talking about the newer players picking up the defensive scheme.
"We're getting it," Rivers said. "It's just going to take time. I thought we were a lot better today. We're working a lot of principles and tendencies. Offensively, it's just moving the ball. Defensively, just running the coverages and talking. It just takes time.
"There's no date," Rivers added when asked if there's an expected time by which everyone should be on board. "Every group is different because if one guy doesn't get it, it brings the whole team down. Every year, it's a different group. There's no expiration date on anybody. It's just takes time."
|Box and 2: Inside Celtics, Bucks and Wizards, oh my
|11.05.12 at 2:39 pm ET
Friday: Bucks 99, Celtics 88; Saturday: Celtics 89, Wizards 86: Observations about the box scores from Games 2 & 3 of the C's (1-2) 2012-13 NBA season.
— Called upon by Doc Rivers Friday night to protect the paint against the Bucks, when smaller lineups weren't working, Darko Milicic played 4:30 of the first quarter. He missed his only shot — an air-balled baby left hook — and committed more turnovers (2) than he totaled rebounds (1) or blocks (0). Then, he didn't play Saturday.
Kevin Garnett: "We're still playing with the chemistry. We have different lineups in which Doc is playing with simultaneously, and we're still working. No one said this was going to be an easy process."
Translation: "The Darko Experiment is called that for a reason. Let's just hope it doesn't blow up in our face."
— Over the weekend, Brandon Bass finished a minus-11 in 40:52 without Jared Sullinger on the floor. The Celtics outscored the opponent in just two of his 10 stints sans Sullinger — by one in the final 3:53 of the first quarter against the Wizards and by two Terry free throws in the final 1:35 of that game. Without Bass on the floor, Sullinger finished a plus-14 in 33:29, and the C's outscored opponents in five of those eight stints. (In case you were wondering, the two played 14:40 together, finished a minus-9 and only outscored opponents once in six stints.)
Rivers (via the Herald): '[Sullinger] brings a different component, more importantly rebounding. He knows how to play without the ball. He's a great passer. He blends well with our starting group.'
Translation: "Sorry Brandon, but you're going to see a lot more Sullinger in the starting lineup."
|Kevin Garnett's 'pack of hyenas' Celtics speech
|11.03.12 at 1:07 am ET
Needless to say, Kevin Garnett didn't enjoy the Bucks embarrassing his Celtics a few nights after the Heat dropped 120 on their defense, so he privately addressed his teammates in the locker room afterwards.
"When we came in the locker room, KG spoke," Courtney Lee said. "What he said is that we've got to go into every battle like we're the underdog, like we have nothing, like we're scrapping. He used the hyena as an example. The hyena, when they go for the kill, they eat in packs. And that's how we've got to do it. We've gotta go out there, have each other's backs, play for each other, make the right plays and be on the same page."
Garnett, Lee and even the very vocal Jason Terry wouldn't go into much detail about the postgame speech about hyenas, but it's safe to say it wasn't anything like Zach Galifianakas' wolf pack soliloquy from "The Hangover."
(If it was, it might've gone like this: "You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man hyena pack. But when I met Rondo, I knew he was one of my own. And my hyena pack, it grew by one. So there were two of us in the hyena pack. I was alone first in the pack, and then Rondo joined in later. And a month ago, when Rondo introduced me to you guys, I thought, 'Wait a second, could it be?' And now I know for sure, I just added nine more guys to my hyena pack. Fifteen of us hyenas, running around the Garden together, in Boston, looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight, I make a toast!")
|Kevin Garnett: Celtics 'still a work in progress'
|11.02.12 at 11:01 pm ET
The Celtics' 99-88 loss to the Bucks was a lot uglier than the final score would suggest, and it left the Garden crowd booing the C's in Boston's home opener.
Following the game, Kevin Garnett said that "communication is everything" in remedying what allowed the Bucks, led by Brandon Jennings (21 points, 13 assists) to run all over the C's.
"I think what you see is we're still a work in progress, obviously," Garnett said. "The lack of communication on the court makes it even more difficult, but all in all, we're still working. We're still working to get some consistency.
|Fast Break: Bucks stampede Celtics in Garden debut
|at 9:46 pm ET
So much for the Celtics keeping their house clean, as Paul Pierce vowed in the days leading up to the team's home opener on Friday night, because the Bucks muddied up the Garden paint all night long.
Led by their backcourt of Brandon Jennings (21 points), Monta Ellis (14 points) and wing Tobias Harris (18 points) — among the many Bucks who seemed to coast to the basket at will –Milwaukee scored 52 points in the paint, built a lead as high as 22 and never looked back in a 99-88 blowout.
But, hey, at least Jeff Green made some baskets (11 points, 5-9 FG), so the Celtics have that going for them. Kevin Garnett (15 points), Rajon Rondo (14 points, 11 assists), Paul PIerce (11 points), Brandon Bass (10 points) and Jason Terry (10 points) also reached double figures. Here's what else happened:
|Fast Break: Ray Allen, Heat set Celtics ablaze
|10.30.12 at 10:49 pm ET
Just as we last saw them, the Celtics left Miami wondering how in the hell they'll beat the Heat.
Only this time, Ray Allen reigned jumpers for the home team. After watching his new teammates receive their NBA championship rings as part of the opening night festivities, Allen scored 19 points in a 120-107 win against his old ones. Fellow fresh face Rashard Lewis (10 points) inflicted some pain as well, and LeBron James (26 points, 10 rebounds), Dwyane Wade (29 points) and Chris Bosh (19 points, 10 rebounds) did their usual damage.
Celtics captain Paul Pierce registered a team-high 23 points, Rajon Rondo (20 points, 13 assists, 7 rebounds and 1 flagrant foul) and Brandon Bass (15 points, 11 rebounds) recorded double-doubles, and Leandro Barbosa (16 points) reached double figures off the bench, but the defense couldn't cool Miami on the other end — even after a 16-3 run cut the lead to two late in the fourth quarter. Here's what else happened:

What do mermaids, anchors, sea horses and shells have in common? Apart from their watery heritage, they all feature large on fashion collections for spring/summer 2012.
Check out heels in the shape of coral on Chanel's shoes, Versace's shell-patterned dress and Peter Pilotto's tropical beach holiday-inspired patterns – and keep an eye out for the trend filtering through to the high street soon.
Some fashion trends are hard to work in the home, but this one can look better in interiors than on your back. The secret is to keep it simple. Add a marine motif to a neutral, sea-inspired palette and you're on trend without living in a Disney theme park. White can be your mainstay here, and accents of navy, turquoise or any other shade of blue work well. Distressed wood chairs or simple Danish lines are the perfect foil for ocean themes. Choose curtains or upholster an armchair in cream and navy stripes and you'll immediately evoke a seaside feel or pick a wallpaper with a watery theme to add a sophisticated note.
Then top up your scheme with a few on-trend objects – scallop-shaped plates, a distressed wooden boat, pretty patterned cushions or sea-inspired objets d'art. And at this time of year, when summer feels as though it may never reappear, bringing a little of the seaside into your home can go a long way to lifting your mood.

Born in 1945 - United States
A major actor in the contemporary scene, Paul McCarthy is an American artist, born in 1945. He studied art at the Utah University before joining the San Francisco Art Institute in 1969, a city which attracted him in his quest for experimental art.
Along the way, he came across great artists who inspired him, especially Robert Rauschenberg, Donald Judd and Bruce Nauman. He drew inspiration from them for Pop Art and experimental cinema, a big contrast which merges in McCarthy's work.
A provocative artist with a reputation that precedes him, Paul McCarthy became famous through his sculptures and performances. His first works focus on the universe of car races and he assembled various elements like tanks and motors. But quickly he turned towards more subversive and aggressive work. His creations have become more sexual and address a delicate topic of body fluids.
Its through installations in public areas, his giant inflatable sculptures go through a quick ascent artistically and in the media. Directly inspired by the pure forms of Brancusi, like « Princesse X», his glib sculptures makes the spectators wonder. These might be ketchup bottles, feces, garden gnomes, or even an ambivalent Christmas tree, Paul McCarthy stands out due to his art and is talked about.
One finds decadent icons on unprecedented materials like skateboards but placed horizontally.
Except for the public areas, Paul McCarthy has exhibited at the Tate Modern in London, Monnaie de Paris and contemporary art fairs like FIAC.

The Slice: Movie inconsequential to drive-in entertainment
Fri., May 30, 2014, midnight
Here are some Frequently Asked Questions from young people who fear their summer will be a hollow shell of a season because they lack easy access to multiple drive-in movie theaters.
Q: Did people used to stare at their phones while at the drive-in?
A: No.
Q: Is it possible to learn the facts of life without a drive-in practicum?
A: Certainly. There are all sorts of seminars, tutorials and work-study options.
Q: How much of what my grandfather says about his drive-in movie adventures should I believe?
A: Maybe 25 percent. But if he says he once wrecked a car window when he drove off without first removing the drive-in speaker, that might actually have happened.
Q: What did Mr. Bob Seger mean by "Workin' on mysteries without any clues"?
A: He meant virtue is its own reward.
Q: So my generation did not invent fake ID cards?
A: Ah, no.
Q: Does the Inland Northwest lack the requisite summertime humidity to create fogged-up windows?
A: Humidity isn't really the essential ingredient. It depends on a certain kind of pressure, and I don't mean barometric.
Q: Will my teen years be complete without my ever having hidden in the empty spare-tire wheel well of a 1971 station wagon?
A: There are many ways to live a full, rich life that do not include sneaking into a drive-in theater.
Q: Does the phrase "taking liberties" refer to patriotism?
A: Well, in a certain red-blooded sort of way, yes.
Q: Did drive-ins all but disappear because Hollywood stopped making biker movies?
A: It had more to do with real estate investors wanting to realize greater returns.
Q: If you went to the drive-in movies in a brand-new car, what were the chances that a little kid would spill a milkshake in the back seat?
A: Approximately 100 percent.
Q: Should I assume some of my older relatives conducted themselves at the drive-in in ways they now regret?
A: Depends on how much they can remember.
Today's Slice question: What actor or actress would be perfect to play you in a movie based on your life? (Feel free to choose more than one, to depict different ages.)

Performing Capital: Toward a Cultural Economy of Popular and Global Finance: Rob Aitken
Palgrave Macmillan | ISBN: 140397733X | October 2, 2007 | PDF (OCR) | 256 pages | 2258 KB
In much of the critical tradition in political economy, capital - financial or otherwise - is depicted as a 'monstrous' or already-existing kind of structure. This books reviews a form of capital—'popular finance'—which exists in a much different way from the common depictions in political economy. This book argues that programs of 'popular finance' are important, as a site at which capital is visible not as a macro-structural reality but as a category itself which needs to be made and performed often in the spaces where is does not already exist. In order to pursue this kind of analysis, particular attention is paid to the ways in which 'culture' has been used as a way to intervene into everyday kinds of spaces and to develop a form of capital within those spaces. This cultural economy, in turn, facilitates a certain critical strategy and mode of critique. I argue that, unlike analyses which tend to mystify finance and the financial world, training attention to capital in these cultural and everyday contexts facilitates a genealogy of capital which can purposely make capital visible as a heterogeneous and 'de-centered' kind of category; a category in which 'we' ourselves are deeply implicated.
Shortlisted for the International Political Economy Group book prize 2008
"Rob Aitken's work will leave readers in little doubt that 'finance capital' is not some coherent and extra-ordinary force that occupies a unique place outside of 'real' political-economic life, but is precariously assembled and visualised through the mundane performances of saving and self-government. Conceptually incisive and empirically rich, Performing Capital is essential reading for political economists and for all who are concerned with financial markets and the power of Wall Street"
--Paul Langley, author of World Financial Orders and The Everyday Life of Global Finance
"This is a wonderful account of the constitution of global finance in diverse spaces of everyday life. It is perhaps the first volume to take seriously the importance of visual culture to the history of finance. This book is an important addition to the growing literature on the interdisciplinary study of financial practice--and a good read!"
--Dr Marieke de Goede, Department of European Studies, University of Amsterdam
About the Author(s)
Rob Aitken is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Alberta. His research interests lie at the intersection of International Political Economy and Cultural Studies. His research focuses on the globalization of finance, the culture of everyday economic spaces and the relationship between governmentality and the making of economic space.
