Quotables From LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON 5/17-21
"Have you guys been following the whole immigration fight in Arizona? Well, at a rally this weekend, Sarah Palin said, "We're all Arizonans now." Yeah, at which point every immigrant in Arizona was like, "soooo...we can stay?"
"Hey, here's some big TV news. Fox has the Super Bowl next year and they just announced they're airing an episode of "Glee" right after. So in one night, you can find out which of your friends is rooting for the other team, and which one's actually playing for it."
"Of course, everyone's still talking about the oil disaster. In a new interview, BP's CEO Tony Hayward said the Gulf Coast oil spill is "relatively tiny" compared to the "very big ocean." Seriously??? That's like telling someone who's just been shot not to worry about the bullet, because they're really, really fat."
"Here's some business news. The Euro is officially at its lowest point in four years. I guess this explains why today, I saw it wearing sweatpants, eating Cheetos and auditioning for the next season of "Celebrity Rehab."
"Listen to this, you guys. A woman in Texas was arrested for shooting at a Census worker who wouldn't leave her property. The census worker was pretty committed to her job, though—even as she was being fired at, she was like "Is that your ONLY firearm? Do you share it with a loved one, a spouse or a common-law partner? !"
"This is pretty interesting. A new poll found 55 percent of Russians think bribing officials is the best way to solve problems. Actually, the study initially said it was 80 percent, but 'they had sudden change of mind.'"
"A new study found that wine stored in boxes loses its flavor after six months. Although if your thing is "boxed wine," I doubt you're the kind of guy who keeps it for more than six months. I'm waiting for a special occasion to pop this baby open."
"And finally, an animal shelter in Long Island is seeking donations of Viagra for a dog who needs it for a heart condition. Although I'm not sure I'm completely behind their slogan, "Come on, give a dog a bone."
"Here's some big TV news. Kate Gosselin has joined Entertainment Tonight as a special "Dancing With the Stars" correspondent. It's a little awkward when the anchors are like, "So Kate, how would you rate that last performance— excellent, mediocre, or Kate Gosselin?"
"This oil spill is still a total mess. The Coast Guard is now saying that twenty of these things called "tar balls" have been found off the Florida Keys, but they're NOT sure if the tar balls are from the Gulf Coast spill. Seriously? That's like finding a giant clock necklace, and not being sure if it's from Flavor Flav."
"I can't believe this story. Have you heard about this guy, Richard Blumenthal, a Democratic candidate for Senate in Connecticut? It turns out he actually LIED about serving in Vietnam. Not good. In fact today, he said this was the most scared he's been since he became the first man to walk on the moon."
"That's right, Democrat Richard Blumenthal LIED about serving in Vietnam in several speeches. Which I guess explains why his descriptions of the war sound like Wikipedia entries. "It was hard fighting in a place with an annual rainfall of 93.6 inches. Can you imagine – in a country that's the largest producer of cashew nuts in the world?!"
"This is just insane. Officials in Naples, Italy believe that local pizza makers are digging up coffins from a cemetery, and using the wood to heat their ovens. Which explains one restaurant's slogan, "Naples Pizza: It tastes just like Grandma…used to taste!"
"Check this out. There are rumors going around that Simon Cowell is going to be knighted by the Queen in June. Can't wait to see someone finally take the Queen down a notch. "You call that a knighting? Just cut my eyes out because I can't look at this – it was crap! Totally derivative!" "That's like someone getting knighted on a cruise ship!"
"This is cool for anyone looking to drop a few pounds this summer. There's a new Internet app that shows you how many calories you burn from tweeting. Here's a hint: it's zero."
"A police force in Germany is experimenting with vultures as an alternative to police dogs for finding dead bodies. Most interested in how that turns out? Naples pizza makers. "Naples Pizza: It tastes just like Grandma…used to taste!"
"Man, another big sex scandal. After admitting to an affair with a staffer, Indiana Congressman Mark Souder said he is leaving office to focus on repairing his marriage, and renewing his walk with the Lord. And today, the Lord was like, "Uh – why don't you start without me."
"Listen to this. Iraq security forces say they have detained an al-Qaeda member suspected of planning an attack on the World Cup in South Africa next month. The man has already admitted that terror and destruction was his ultimate GOOOOOOOOAAL!!!"
"Aviation officials in Europe announced new rules that will allow planes to fly through the volcanic ash if they get special approval. Yeah, I'd love to hear the pilot on one of those flights: "To your left, you'll see a massive ash cloud...windows are sort of useless right now. I might as well come back and sit with you guys. What movie are they playing, "The Squeakquel"? I don't know how they get those chipmunks to sing. That's pretty cool. They spent alot of money. I think it's VGI?"
"And finally, this is a true story…A woman in Pennsylvania was running away from the cops and decided to hide out in a coffin at a funeral home. Yeah, I guess she was only discovered later, when this pizza place tried to use it to cook pizza."
"Let's get right to the news. During a speech in Ohio yesterday, President Obama reminded the crowd that the economy was much worse a year ago. Then the crowd reminded HIM that he was already the President a year ago."
"Have you guys been following this Richard Blumenthal guy who's running for senate and lied about Vietnam? Well, he claims he meant to say that he served "during Vietnam" instead of "in Vietnam." For real? So if I was a waiter at Outback Steakhouse in the 90's, does that mean I "served during the Gulf War?" "Yeah I "served" back in '91. Still get flashbacks of those bloomin' onions, man. Jalapeno poppers."
"This is crazy. During halftime at the Celtics-Magic playoff game last night, a referee threw a basketball at an obnoxious, rowdy fan. The ref shouldn't have done that, but on the bright side…I got a free basketball."
"Speaking of the NBA, New York Knicks forward Wilson Chandler was busted in Queens last night with five bags of pot. Yeah, they could tell it was one of the Knicks, because every time he'd try and pass a joint, somebody would steal it."
"And I thought this was a little harsh…They sentenced him to five more years with the Knicks. That's cruel and unusual."
"This is pretty interesting. According to new research, unattractive defendants are 22 percent more likely to be convicted than good-looking ones. Although to be fair, the good-looking defendants have a much harder time AFTER they're convicted."
"Check this out. A new study found that the average man tells 1,092 lies a year. I'm sorry, I don't know why I said that – it's actually 1,091".
"How are you guys feeling tonight? Let's get right to the news. Last night at the big White House state dinner, Capricia Marshal, the U.S. Chief of Protocol, slipped on the White House steps right next to the Obamas. Yeah, it was such a nasty spill, that BP showed up and tried to put a top hat on her."
"Hey, did you hear this? Kate Gosselin is coming back to "Dancing with the Stars!" That's right, she's going to be on the season finale next week - and says she'll be dancing to a combination of two songs…the one playing in the room, and the completely different one happening in her head."

The Valparaiso men's basketball team left no doubt as how many squads could claim the Horizon League regular season title, winning the outright championship with a dominant performance in a 75-56 victory at Green Bay Saturday afternoon.
The win gives the Crusaders 24 regular season victories, matching the program record for most regular season wins, set way back in the 1923-24 campaign. It also was Valpo's 10th road win of the season, setting a new team record for most true road wins in a single year dating back to at least the 1940's. Valpo finished the season 7-1 in Horizon League road games, a big reason the Crusaders were able to secure the regular season title with a 13-3 record.
Individually, there were multiple milestones set as well. Senior Matt Kenney (Mooresville, Ind./Mooresville) posted a new season high with 21 points, going 7-of-7 from the floor. Six of Kenney's seven makes came from behind the 3-point line, making him just the third player in Crusader history to go 6-of-6 from 3-point range in a game, matching the record for most 3-pointers in a single game without a miss. Previously, Jared Nuness went 6-of-6 from deep against Belmont in December of 1997, and current senior Ryan Broekhoff (Frankston, Victoria, Australia/Australian Institute of Sport) duplicated the feat at home against Detroit last February.
Meanwhile, senior Kevin Van Wijk (Hoofddorp, Netherlands/Katholieke Scholengemeenschap Hoofddorp) had himself a pair of major accomplishments on Saturday. His second basket of the second half, coming at the 18:03 mark off a feed from Kenney, were his seventh and eighth points of the game and 1,000th and 1,001st points of his career, making Van Wijk just the 32nd player in Crusader history to reach the millennium mark. Then, despite shooting just 2-of-5 from the floor Saturday, Van Wijk finished 73-of-105 (69.5%) from the field in Horizon League play, setting a new league record for field goal percentage in league-only action. Van Wijk broke the mark of 68.6%, set by Detroit's Ryvon Covile in the 2003-04 season.
It was a slow start for both teams on Saturday, as the Crusaders led just 11-10 11 minutes into the game. Valpo pushed its lead to four points thanks in part to a triple from junior LaVonte Dority (Chicago, Ill./Foreman [USF]), but back-to-back baskets by the Phoenix tied it up at 16-all with five minutes left in the half. After a Kenney 3-pointer was answered by an inside basket from Jordan Fouse, the Crusaders went on a big run to end the first half.
The run started on a third-chance basket from redshirt junior Bobby Capobianco (Loveland, Ohio/Loveland [Indiana]), who then grabbed a rebound on the defensive end while being fouled and converted both ends of a one-and-one to make it 23-18. After a pair of free throws by Green Bay's Keifer Sykes, Van Wijk drew a foul and made both free throws to push the lead back to five points. Capobianco then had a pair of baskets in the final 70 seconds of the half, the second coming on a 15-foot baseline jumper, to cap a 10-2 Valpo run to end the period as the Crusaders led 29-20 into the locker room.
The second half was an offensive showcase both ways, as both sides shot at least 70% from the floor over the final 20 minutes. Valpo would force four Green Bay turnovers over the first five minutes of the second half, though, to help extend its lead early. Sykes knocked down a jumper on the Phoenix's first possession to draw Green Bay within seven, but that was as close as it would get, as Valpo went on a 15-5 spurt over the next five minutes to take control.
Kenney started the run with a 3-pointer, followed by the aforementioned consecutive layups from Van Wijk which put him over the 1,000-point mark. Later in the spurt, fifth-year senior Will Bogan (Boise, Idaho/Vallivue [Ole Miss]) knocked down his first triple of the game around a pair of Capobianco layups, the second of which put Valpo ahead 44-27 with 14:38 to play.
Green Bay would close back to within 12 points once more, as a mid-range jumper from Alec Brown made it 46-34 Crusaders with 10:30 to play, but Valpo hit nine consecutive field goal attempts over the next seven-plus minutes to put the game out of reach. Kenney got inside for a layup and hit the final three of his six triples in the stretch, while Buggs converted a pair of driving layups. Capobianco and Bogan both contributed buckets as well and senior Ryan Broekhoff (Frankston, Victoria, Australia/Australian Institute of Sport) connected on his lone 3-pointer of the game, as Valpo out-scored the Phoenix 22-12 over the stretch en route to the easy win.
Kenney's season-high 21 points also were a game-high total, while Capobianco scored a career-best 16 points on 7-of-8 shooting from the floor while also adding seven rebounds. Buggs added eight points on 4-of-5 shooting to go with seven assists against just one turnover as well, while Van Wijk (eight points) and Broekhoff (seven points) were both held to single digits for the first time since playing at Ohio State on Nov. 25, 2011. Valpo shot 60.4% (29-of-48) for the game, including 76% (19-of-25) in the second half, and was 10-of-18 (55.6%) from the 3-point line for the game.
Brown (15 points) and Sykes (14 points) were the only players to finish in double figures for Green Bay (16-14, 10-6 Horizon), as both shot 5-of-12 from the floor to get their respective totals. The Crusaders held the Phoenix to just 28.6% (8-of-28) shooting in the first half and out-scored Green Bay by 10 points in the final 20 minutes despite Green Bay shooting 70% (14-of-20) in the second half. Valpo forced 11 Phoenix turnovers in the second half, converting the miscues into 16 points.
Valparaiso (24-7, 13-3 Horizon) will be idle until next Saturday, when it hosts the second semifinal of the Horizon League Championship at 7:30 p.m. from the ARC, live on ESPNU. Tickets are now available for the quarterfinals (Friday) and semifinals (Saturday) of the league tournament by visiting http://www.valpoathletics.com/tickets/. The full bracket and matchups will be released Saturday night by the Horizon League.

The University of West Florida Department of History seeks to provide a foundation for better understanding the world in which we live, to produce high quality scholarship that makes a significant contribution to the discipline and to serve community needs by providing a source for historical information and expertise crucial to preserving heritage, especially Northwest Florida.
The Department of History offers a Bachelor of Arts in History, three Master of Arts degrees in Traditional History, Early American Studies, and Public History, as well as a certificate program in Historic Preservation for graduate students.
These programs challenge students to contemplate the world around them and think about why things are the way they are. This includes the exploration of our own and others' cultural identity; the origins of modern institutions and traditions; and the worldview of past and present cultures across the globe. Students of history gain a wider understanding of humankind that helps them make decisions about their present and future by considering the different perspectives of past actors. More technically, students in history gain the tools necessary to communicate effectively, whether oral or written, as well as training in thinking critically, researching, and challenging accepted ideas with evidence.

A friend of mine went on a rant last week on fb … in the nicest possible way. She questioned why some self-pubbed authors insist on doing their own book covers. The comments came in that perhaps some of her expectations were too high; that some authors think they can do their own covers; and/or they just plain cannot afford to hire a professional to create their covers. Now, my friend (naming no names) is a professional in the field of marketing books and has years of experience, so I give her question a lot of weight, as I do the responses she received. All of these arguments can be valid.
But … (there's always a "but") would you be turned off by a cover that looked like something the author's six year old drew? Perhaps one that doesn't reflect the actual book? Or, my personal favorite, a cover that uses those computer generated "posers" that I've griped about in the past?
Now, I've seen some really nicely done self-pubbed books. Edie Ramer's come to mind. However, Edie also has a professional do her covers and they're gorgeous. She also hires someone else to do her editing. I've come across several self-pubbed books where the editing was atrocious and I ended up (figuratively speaking) wall-banging 'em. They were on my Nook and it wouldn't do to wreck my e-reader.
The point is, I was totally turned off by what I viewed as amateurish work and its doubtful that I will purchase any future books by that particular author. Perhaps I'm spoiled by the books that I've purchased from traditional publishers, but I've come to expect a certain quality for the money that I'm willing to shell out. Not when there are so many books out there that will meet my expectations.
I'm well aware of the fact that it costs money to produce a self-pubbed book. Personally, I haven't gone that route yet, but that's not to say that I won't in the future. If I do, I know that I'll make the effort to produce the best possible book I can. I'm fortunate where I have a day job and will be able to afford professional editing and to hire someone to create a beautiful cover.
What do you think? Do you reckon my expectations are too high, and I should be above the pettiness of appearance and just enjoy a good story?

Sometimes it Snows in April: New Music Finds From New Sounds
by Caryn Havlik —
The New Sounds All-Purpose Assistant can't resist a well-placed Prince song lyric. But the reality is, we've been practically snowed under by the relentless storm of great new music coming in, (not all of it in the New Sounds vein), and we need to clear our conscience. This bunch of good music being withheld from John Schaefer's famous desk is hoarded with noble intent - to not lose any of it before hopefully making it to New Sounds air.
Cordame + Francois Bourassa - Rêve éveillé
(Malasartes / Actuelle)
The latest from Montreal-based composer/ contrabass player Jean Felix Mailloux. He's also got a trio jazz record just out (as Bomata), as well as this lovely release of chamber/jazz, featuring pianist Francois Bourassa along with cello, harp, violin, clarinets, and drums. It's playful, well-layered and orchestrated, with brilliant spaces created for each instrument to have its melodic turn in the spotlight. From a concert recording made in March 2013, here's a four-song sampler:
Boulpik - Nèg Dafrik
From Konpa Lakay (Due out May 12 on Lusafrica)
These Haitian banjo troubadours, Boulpik, formed in Port-au-Prince around 10 years ago. They are carrying on an almost lost tradition of street music, but will play weddings or communions, or wherever. With two banjos (instead of guitar, which didn't carry sound as well), maniboula (cross between bass mbira and cajon box), hand drum, claves, and voices, it's a win for everyone.
Toumani Diabaté - Toumani & Sidiki
(Due out May 19 on World Circuit)
"Sitting next to my Daddy, playing kora with him, that was something very special," says Toumani Diabaté, who was born into a leading griot family, and who has been an ambassador for Malian traditional music through his genius on the kora, the 21-stringed West African harp. Toumani's father, Sidiki senior, recorded the first-ever kora album, the classic Mali: Ancient Strings, in 1970. Now the great Malian kora-master Toumani Diabaté has a forthcoming duet record with his son Sidiki – representing 71 generations of kora players. In playing the kora alongside his father, twenty-three year old Sidiki, a name in his own right – he is one half of Malian hip hop duo Iba One – continues the 700 year old Diabaté dynasty.
Ben Frost- Venter
from album A U R O R A, out 26/27 May 2014 on Mute / Bedroom Community
The Australian born, Iceland-based producer and composer makes grippingly intense ambient music, that might easily be the score of a rise-of-the-machines-type dystopian epic film. This latest sample of his forthcoming work speaks with a swirling hive mind, yet with the focus of a metallic assassin, attempting to beat and scrape its way out of a reinforced safe room.
Brandon Seabrook - Lurid Clusters
From album Sylphid Vitalizers
Due out June 24, 2014 on New Atlantis Records
Banjo player & guitar player Brandon Seabrook can be found in Tanks with Marc Ribot drummer Ches Smith and Kayo Dot mastermind Toby Driver, or in a folk-jazz way with saxophone player Jeremy Udden, sometimes in an avant-jazz way with drummer Gerald Cleaver's Black Host or adding jazz-ish banjo in Ben Allison's most recent project, as well as a "sideman" for Mostly Other People Do The Killing. But also there's his own punk-jazz trio Seabrook Power Plant, who are absolutely face-meltingly br00tal, with two releases to their credit. The few samples of Seabrook's forthcoming record, "Sylphid Vitalizers" might draw as much from the Glenn Branca guitar army school, as they do from black metal tremolos and wailing classic heavy metal guitar gods. Seabrook recorded with engineer/musician Colin Marston in Queens at Menegroth/The Thousand Caves. Listen:
Man Forever: The Clear Realization (with So Percussion)
from Ryonen on Thrill Jockey
Indulging the NSAPA's drumming addiction, is John Colpitts (aka Kid Millions), a Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist, composer and writer who is perhaps best known as the drummer for Oneida. Man Forever is his experimental percussion persona – together with the powerhouse quartet, So Percussion. Ryonen contains just two works "The Clear Realization" and the title track; it's an endlessly propulsive and exciting display of my-cup-runneth-over drumming. When the instruments operate out of phase from the main tempo, the end result is both powerful and innovative. There's music in the resonance as well, which creates something of a drone element in addition to the textured layers of percussion. See at Le Poisson Rouge, on Monday, April 21 with Tigue.
Bubamara Brass Band - Balkanteka (2013)
In the category of just fun finds from the internet, there's this Moscow-based Balkan brass band. Especially recommended are the tunes on which trumpeter Marko Markovic is a guest: track 6, " Nikola, Baka i Kolaci" which begins with a mooing cow noise, and the title track 8, "Balkanteka."
And in the probably not New Sounds category, please enjoy:
Ikebe Shakedown- Stone by Stone
(Daptone Records)
Sweet sweet soulful funk, which brings the heavy groove, driven by sexy snaky baritone sax lines, steaming 'bones and screaming trumpets. So good.

High EGFR expression a predictor for improved survival with cetuximab plus chemotherapyJuly 05, 2011
High epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression was a good predictor of which lung cancer patients would survive longer when cetuximab (Erbitux) was added to first-line chemotherapy, according to research presented at the 14th World Conference on Lung Cancer in Amsterdam, hosted by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC).
"The new analysis of the Phase III FLEX study has allowed us to identify which non-small cell lung cancer patients are most likely to benefit from treatment with Erbitux in the first-line setting," said principal investigator Dr. Robert Pirker of the Medical University of Vienna in Austria. "By demonstrating that high EGFR expression is the first predictive biomarker for improved overall survival in advanced NSCLC, we have taken a major step towards a more personalized approach in this difficult-to-treat disease."
Based on a new analysis of all FLEX patients (1,121 out of 1,125 FLEX study patients), researchers found that patients with high tumor EGFR expression (200 and above on a scale of 0-300) consistently benefited from the addition of cetuximab to chemotherapy regardless of histology. Within this group, overall survival averaged 12 months, compared with 9.6 months for patients receiving chemotherapy alone.
In patients with low EGFR expression, no difference in overall survival was seen between patients receiving chemotherapy plus cetuximab, compared to those receiving chemotherapy alone.

Trying to figure out if I'm LP
I "think" I'm LP. My hair takes hours to dry without product and with a LI it would take overnight.
My hair gets buildup quickly and responds TERRIBLY to pure oils. It looks stringy and wet. It won't go away until I wash out the oil.
I never feel like my hair absorbs DTs, it just never feels any different.
Is it possible I'm low porosity?
Yes, that sounds like signs of low porosity to me.
I have low porosity hair and my hair hates oil. Even if I use a drop of it on sopping wet hair and my hair is long, it gets very flat and stringy looking. My hair also takes a very long time to dry. Even in the summers my roots in the back of my head stay wet for hours.
From what you've said it sounds like low porosity hair, so try treating your hair as such and see what happens.
Might be worth getting a hair analysis though, just to be sure :)

Does this mean Dell workers get to keep their BlackBerrys? Just two weeks after announcing it would replace the 25,000 BlackBerrys used by employees with its own Venue Pro smartphone, computer maker Dell revealed that the executive running the company's mobile business will leave the company in January, to be replaced by...well, nobody. (Also see: Dell to kick CrackBerry habit)
Instead, Dell will dissolve the communications solutions group currently headed by the departing Ron Garriques and disperse its products such as smartphones and tablets to other business units, according to the Wall Street Journal. This sure sounds like a prelude to giving up on the consumer mobile device market. Or maybe the consumer mobile device market is giving up on Dell. The consumer unit's $2.9 billion revenue for the second quarter -- just 19 percent of overall revenue -- was unchanged from the year-ago period and down from $3.2 billion in the first quarter. The consumer division also had a net loss of $21 million in Q2. The company is due to report Q3 numbers after Thursday's market close. Sounds like there may be some more unpleasant metrics for Garriques's division. Maybe that's what precipitated the timing of Dell's filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Meanwhile, Garriques faces the grim fate of all well-connected executives whose divisions under-perform -- a $1.4 million severance agreement and a $6 million, one-year consulting contract. Remember that the next time Dell won't offer you a break on a computer.

How do I bid for properties through Tandridge HomeChoice?
The Council operates a Choice Based Lettings system for allocating properties, known as Tandridge HomeChoice. Applicants can also apply for some properties in Epsom & Ewell, Mole Valley and Reigate & Banstead through East Surrey HomeChoice.
This system replaced the former housing waiting list system. To be able to bid for properties, you must first join the Housing Register.
Choice Based Lettings aims to help applicants take a greater role in choosing their home. Like in the private rented sector, available rented council and housing association homes are advertised and applicants can express their interest (or 'bid') for advertised homes in the areas where they would like to live.
How to bid:
Information about properties can be heard by calling our property information line on 01883 722000 and selecting option 4 or via the Tandridge HomeChoice website.
If you need any help and advice on using HomeChoice, please call 01883 722000.
Please note that the Council does not offer properties directly to applicants. You will only be offered the tenancy of a particular property if you have registered a 'bid' for it.

Address to the Campus: Feb 9, 2012
Good Afternoon
Thank you for coming. It is a privilege and with a serious sense of responsibility that I address you today. In addition it is an honor to bring you and our whole campus personal greetings from Director General Bokova of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO; I will explain that exciting development later.
This is a critical time for our campus of Rutgers. Rutgers University is searching for a new President. In addition, our campus has not had a national search for our leadership position in over 30 years, and we deserve one. We must therefore prepare for a new era in the history of Rutgers University. After a review, it is clear that we are not currently ready. To get ready requires a lot of hard work from each of us.
How do we do this?
First let us begin with who we are.
We are excellence: excellence in scholarship, excellence in education, and excellence in opportunity for our students. We are second to none within Rutgers. We are proud of who we are and of what we represent.
We are excellence in scholarship, from a Pulitzer Prize, to a PECASE award from the President of the United States, to one of the top MFA in creative writing programs in the country, to a School of Criminal Justice that is arguably becoming the top program in the country, to a leading brain research center with its new fMRI. I will celebrate this excellence in greater detail later.
We stand for excellence in education. Surveys performed by Carnegie Communications show that students come to our campus because they can get the high quality Rutgers education on a campus that is easy to get to. And many of our students prefer our campus of Rutgers because their faculty know them by name and care about them individually. Our students bring their drive, their commitment, and their diversity to this campus and they deserve the very best education we can offer them. They are national champions from the Fed Challenge team from Economics to the RBS team in CFA Institute's Global Investment Research Challenge. Our Honors College challenges students to reach for the highest levels of accomplishment.
We are excellence in opportunity for our students: our alumni attest to the opportunity this campus embodied for them yesterday. Alumni of our campus talk of commuting to campus, of working and going to school at the same time, of being the first in their family to go to college, and of coming from families that had immigrated to this country and this state within living memory. We continue to be dedicated to that excellence in opportunity to you who are students here today. It is not surprising, therefore that the Washington Monthly ranks our campus highly, #16 nationwide, in their social mobility scale, a direct manifestation of that educational opportunity we offer you as students.
Today's campus was forged in the events in Conklin Hall 40 years ago when our campus struggled to articulate a vision of opportunity for all students, including those of the community of which our campus is a part. Today this campus has reached far toward that vision. For example, we are justifiably proud that today, our EOF students graduate at the same rate as students from the campus as a whole. At this time I would like to acknowledge the leader of the EOF program for much of the campus, Associate Dean Deborah Walker McCall, and the leader in the nursing school, Assistant Dean Valerie Smith Stephens.
And yes, we are the most diverse campus of a national university in America and we offer our students singular advantages from our diversity. Over 70 languages, multiple religions and ethnicities from around the world are in the homes of our students, enhanced by several hundred international students on our campus, and all this converges on one location at Rutgers University Newark.
We are one of the most engaged campuses in America, with many arms of outreach to our community and we are recognized nationally for it. The one person most responsible for this status here on campus today is Vice Chancellor Marcia Brown. Will Marcia please stand and be recognized.
And let us not forget that we are a proud and an integral part of a larger whole, a national university, one of the oldest in the country and an international leader in many fields: Rutgers University, a member of the AAU and one of the leading public research universities in the US. We are proud to be an important part of Rutgers University and we will stand shoulder to shoulder as a community to doom any effort to cleave us from Rutgers.
The Newark campus of Rutgers therefore brings great strengths to the university as a whole. The Newark campus must take its place alongside the other campuses of Rutgers with pride in its accomplishments and with a determination that it is, and will be, second to none. Therefore we will focus on excellence: excellence in education, excellence in scholarship and excellence in opportunity for our students, as we look to our immediate future.

Boston Globe Celtics reporter Marc Spears received new information regarding the Reggie Miller situation earlier this afternoon, as reported on the Boston Globe Celtics Blog:
Celtics forward Kevin Garnett has been playing pickup ball against current and former NBA players, Los Angeles standouts and college players at UCLA this week. Word is Garnett's team did not lose one game on Wednesday. Several attendees raved about how he dominated easily. On one play, he caught an offensive rebound on the block and jumped and dunked without taking a step.
Word is Garnett and potential Celtics teammate Reggie Miller have been working out together at Pepperdine. He was there Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

A lot of attention has been paid in the Portland media recently to Nicolas Batum's aching right wrist. The focus has been on his lack of shot attempts — over the first 44 games of the season he averaged 16.2 points per game on 12.7 shots per game; in his four games since injuring the wrist, he's averaging 7.5 points on 6.5 shots a night. Basically half the production on half the attempts. Despite the injury, Batum is still playing the big minutes he's played all season long. He's averaged nearly 39 minutes per game this season and that hasn't changed. In the last four games, he's "nursed" his wrist by logging 38 minutes, 38 minutes, 35 minutes and 40 minutes. The reason coach Terry Stotts has kept him on the floor is because Batum is such a complete player. He is still doling out the assists, still hauling in the rebounds, still disrupting opposing offenses with his versatility on defense. But because it pains Batum so much to shoot, he has lost a key weapon in his arsenal...

Perot Theatre
219 Main Street,
4 people favorited this theater
The Perot Theatre was built in 1924 by the Saenger Amusement Company, but was purchased a few years later, in 1931, by the Paramount chain. As admissions dried up in the 1970's, the theater became a second-run house, eventually closed in 1977.
Reopening after a $2.5 million restoration in 1979-80, the Perot Theatre was granted state and national landmark status and listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Former Presidential candidate and Reform Party founder Ross Perot dedicated a statue of his brother, who died at the age of 3, in the Perot Theatre.
This statue, of a small boy waving, has been placed on the theater's second floor.
Recent comments (view all 10 comments)
The Perot was a Movie theater when my parents were growing up, but is now now, and since 1977, only for theatrical and ballet performances. My mother remembers seeing "Lipstick" with Margaux Hemingway, Anne Bancroft, Chris Sarandon, Perry King, Mariel Hemingway and "The Exorcist."
The Perot Theatre web site can be found at http://www.trahc.org/perot.htm
Originally being a Saenger theatre, this theatre must have once had a Robert Morton pipe organ in it. Does anyone know what happened to the organ? I would guess the siaze of the organ was somewhere between 6 and 10 ranks.
Yes, according to the Encyclopedia of the American Theatre Organ, Vol. II, this theatre had a 2m/6r Robert Morton organ installed in the 1920's.
Does anyone know what became of this organ?
Here are a series of articles from the Texarkana Gazette that discuss this theater:
This is a 1987 photo of Saenger Theatre in Texarkana.
According to the TheatreOrgans dot com online searchable database of organ installations, the Saenger Theatre in Texarkana originally had a 2/8 Hillgreen-Lane theatre pipe organ, opus 424, installed in 1916 at a cost of $2,475. It is possible that the Robert-Morton later replaced it.
[note: in this entry, "Saenger" is misspelled "Saeger", which is why you probably couldn't find it, Lost Memory]
I would love to know what happened to both organs! The earlier organ's blower # was 6827, if that helps.
OH WAIT I just noticed that this theatre was built in 1924. D'oh! Was there another "Saenger" or "Saeger" theatre in Texarkana in 1916???

Japan will allow the North Korean women's soccer team to travel to Osaka for the final Asian qualifying round for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics this summer, according to a senior government official.
The team's arrival will be an exception to new sanctions that ban the entry of North Korean nationals.
The final Olympic qualifiers for women's soccer will take place between Feb. 29 and March 9 in Osaka, with six teams, including Japan, North Korea, South Korea and China, set to compete.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga declined Monday to comment on the matter, telling reporters the government will make a decision only when the players apply for visas.
But Suga pointed out that Japan has in the past allowed soccer and table tennis players from North Korea to enter Japan despite sanctions against Pyongyang.
"At any rate, we'll consider what we will do when applications for entry are filed," he said.
Last week, the government announced a set of sanctions on North Korea for launching a long-range ballistic missile on Feb. 7. The sanctions were also seen as punishing North Korea for its Jan. 6 nuclear test.
The sanctions include a wide-ranging ban on North Korean nationals traveling to Japan. However, there are exceptions.
"People related to culture and sports should be treated differently," the senior government official said, saying nations can still allow athletes from "third-party countries" to compete in international competitions.
On Friday, North Korea said it was scrapping an investigation into the fates of Japanese nationals abducted and taken there decades ago. This came in retaliation to the Japanese sanctions.
By allowing the North Korean soccer players to enter Japan, the government appears to be offering an olive branch to Pyongyang in a bid to keep the abduction issue alive.
In a related move, Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Koichi Hagiuda said Sunday on TV that the government "is ready to continue talks" with North Korea on the abduction issue, adding that the government will "keep the door open."
"We want to improve the situation by using international pressure," he said, referring to Pyongyang's declaration that it was closing the book on the reinvestigation begun in July 2014.

Largest Tire Size in a WK
Hey what from experience is the largest tire size you can fit in a stock wk? I have a 05 Hemi that I want to lift 2-3 in but haven't done the research required yet. But my problem is I have some bridgestone duellers that are getting pretty low and even though Im AWD Id rather not be prepared.
So my question is what is the largest tire I can go stock until I save up/research what lift I want. Cant afford double tires. Was really wanting to go with anything 265/70/17...Would a simple spacer solve any rubbing problems? Just looking to get the tires on the rig, then build on the lift.
Re: Largest Tire Size in a WK
Re: Largest Tire Size in a WK
Thanks for that. Couldn't seem to get a concrete answer though whether the pinch welding or trimming the bolt would work. The original post said they fit, but a couple lines down one guy said the bolt needed to be trimmed.
Im all for getting them and doing both techniques to make them fit, just dont know if cutting the bolt will screw me later when I do shocks and springs?
Re: Largest Tire Size in a WK
I would not cut the bolt. It really comes in handy when you need to undo the upper control arm and also when putting that back on. Regardless of what lift I would take care of the pinch welds and just get that done. From I have seen, if you run the factory wheel, you gotta run spacers due to the 50mm offset and the 265 width tires. Unless you cut the bolt way down, and even then some 265 width tires run a little "wider" than others, thus you still get rubbing. I did not want to run spacers, or cut the bolt, so I searched for a wheel that had at least +25mm or less (but no less than +10mm) and was 8.5" wide. This allowed me to keep the bolt and have plenty of clearance, without running spacers. Now granted I run 18" wheels/tires, but the offsets and width rules still apply. You can read my information about it here:
I read your whole thread, geez that's alot of work you went through looks amazing. I'm just not familiar with the terminology y'all use like hybrid. I assume that means all the custom work and mixing of parts you did.
I'm really unsure of the offsets. It looks like it really wouldn't be wise to try and stick those tires on my factory ones given the stock offset. Cause I checked how close my tire was to the bolt and the arm and it's extremely close.
The reason so is I'm on an extreme budget like everyone and just would rather buy the meatier tires I want now and stretch and do a RC lift and spacer. Do y'all think that would suffice? Because for about $210 I can have that 2in lift and spacers from RC. That plus the lift from the bigger tires should get my front end heavy hemi off the ground.
Re: Largest Tire Size in a WK
If your only goal is to have a little bit of lift for larger tires, then that's probably the least amount of money involved, especially if you do it yourself. Lots of folks have run just and RC lift, 1.25" - 1.5" spacers all round and the 265/70/17 tires on factory wheels. I still recommend the pinch weld.
Before you do anything and get caught up in the "fog of war" on dress'n up or modifying your WK, you really should ask yourself what you want to do with it, and what your plans both short term and long term are. This will save you a lot of money and "do overs" vs. constantly changing out mods for "upgrades" and so forth than if you just waited to do what you wanted to do the first time. However, there is nothing wrong with experimenting and playing around with a bunch of different things if that's what you want to do and have the means:)
Re: Largest Tire Size in a WK
Its defiantly a money thing. I don't think I can justify dropping 3 grand in suspension and tire combo.
Baseline is I agree with thinking ahead, and doing it right the first time. Tires are getting low enough where I may not be good for winter. Would you say its worth waiting 6 months for an OME or Rocky Road lift because they seem actually legit. Or do a basic RC 2 in with spacers to get by.
Also who here has RR, I've read through there site and they seem to guarantee a lot. How much are they for a 2.25-3in lift? Cant get a definite price.
Re: Largest Tire Size in a WK
What's your total budget? You doing the work yourself or having it done?

This week we have Pip Carroll from Craft Victoria sharing some of the wonderfully talented designers who will be taking part in the Special Edition Craft Hatch Market that's happening on Saturday 23rd of October. It's going to be an inspiring week! – Jenny x
One of Liesl Pfeffer's Mountain Collages
Liesl working hard in her studio on tiny mountains- cute!
Liesl Pfeffer is photo-media artist from Melbourne, Australia. She makes collages from toy camera photos, vintage fabric and found drawings. She also shoots street photography with Polaroid, Holga and Canon Demi cameras. Liesl is one of 5 Craft Hatch stallholders that we will be profiling this week on The Design Files. This month, the market makes a special move to the State Library of Victoria to celebrate the end of SLV exhibition 'til you drop – Shopping: A Melbourne History.
Here's what Liesl had to say about her work, her inspirations and what you can pick up at the Craft Hatch Market on October 23.
"I've made needle-based crafts, particularly sewing and embroidery since I was a kid, and have long had a burning love for fashion and textile design. I graduated from university in Brisbane with a degree in photographic art practice in 2005 and have been exhibiting in Melbourne and Brisbane since then. My art practice is primarily photo-media collage, and lately I've been working on embroideries as well. As a craft, the making of my collages is very labour-intensive, involving many hours of drawing, cutting, pasting and arranging. The slowness and careful consideration is part of the reason I enjoy craft so much.
I work from a studio space at home in Brunswick, which I moved into a few months ago. It's the first time I've had a dedicated place to work from (that isn't a kitchen table) in five years. It's amazing! Natural light, a garden to look at outside, and the kitchen just a few metres away when I need a coffee break.
Liesl's home studio space- lots of light and desirable artwork [love the Berkley Illustration Owl!]
Another close up of one of Liesl's work- this time from the Iceberg series
More and more I'm finding visual inspiration in contemporary sources thanks to the internet. I read a few art blogs – particular favourites are The Jealous Curator and Brwn Paper Bag. Mostly I am inspired by people who work hard and try new things! It makes me want to work hard too.
The colours and pattern in the dress on the right inspired me when I was working on my photo collages of mountains earlier this year. This picture is from a 1968 edition of French fashion magazine L'Officiel (which can be browsed online here)
Left: The dress of the right inspire Liesl and her work Right: Lovely Liesl Pfeffer herself!
At the October Craft Hatch Market. I'm selling a range of collages as 8×10 inch prints, framed ($50) and unframed ($25), and some little embroideries of mountains ($45). I also have some of my pictures printed on cute one inch buttons ($2).
If you are in Melbourne come down and say hi at the Special Edition Craft Hatch Market on Saturday 23 October at The State Library of Victoria."
Thank you Liesl for sharing! You can see Liesl's portfolio here and if you can't be in Melbourne for the Craft Hatch Market, Liesl has an Etsy store too.
The Craft Hatch Market will be held at on Saturday 23rd of October at:
The State Library of Victoria
Experimedia, Ground Floor
328 Swanston Street, Melbourne
(corner of Swanston and La Trobe Streets)
Time: 11am-4pm

$129172 (+ 1.03%)
Another month has gone by, we're almost into 1/4 of 2011 already! I hope everyone is keeping up with their personal finance resolutions. I usually do my net worth calculation at the same time every month (yes, I actually look FORWARD to this, am I a personal finance geek or what?), but this month it was a little skewed as I was out of town (more on that later this week). I think I might be a few days off from when I usually do my calculation. I still haven't got to including my pension back into the net worth calculations, though.
I also delayed posting this because I was hesitant to include so much information for the world to see. I hope it benefits you in some way, you can try and learn from my mistakes (and victories, hopefully)…
Okay, so here's the breakdown for February:
- I added up my chequing and savings accounts (High Interest Savings Account). I automatically deduct money from my chequing account and have it siphoned to the HISA account (paying yourself first)
Now please hold your horses, I haven't lost 19% of my investment portfolio (not repeating another 2008 here, lol). What I did this month is move some of my money into the TFSA (since I almost depleted it late last year). I plan to take my tax refund (hopefully it's juicy) and put it into the TFSA too.
- These are stocks that capture the "moment in time", including unrealized gains or losses in my BMO Investorline and Questrade accounts. I added up USD and CAD stocks as "Canadian" money to be simplistic (which is about a 0% difference right now)
- This includes the monthly contribution into my TD E-Series account (primarily bonds), a GIC in my ING Direct Account and my new Questrade RRSP account.
- I have maxed out my contribution for the 2010 tax year, and am planning to take my refund at sock it in a TFSA (two birds with one stone, anyone?)
- If you're wondering what I hold in my Other investments- check out my post long story
- I have some investments that were poor choices (I signed up for them before I became self "edumacated") that are losing money big time. In order to receive a tax credit, I got persuaded into buying some flow through shares, Venture investments that gave out a tax credit, and some more mutual funds about four or five years ago.
- This lonely mutual fund hasn't been moving much, unlike the rest of the market. Once I hit January 1, 2012 I'm going to take my money back and run 😉
- I sold about $5000 worth of equities in my nonregistered account and put it into my TFSA. I haven't bought anything with my new TFSA money yet, though I plan to this month.
- When I get my tax refund, I plan to put it into either the TFSA or back into the RRSP (for the 2011 tax year): I'm all for double dipping!
- For my 2010 TFSA, I signed up for a Tax Free Trading Account with Questrade
- Last month, I sold most of my TFSA income trusts (all but two- which are being converted) and kept about $500 in the TFSA account as Questrade requires you to have a minimum of $200 in the account.
- I plan to put $15000 $10,000 back in (slowly throughout the year, of course…) to avoid the penalty from our good friends at the Canada Revenue Agency.
- My car is 11 years old and still running well. Boyfriend has been pressuring me to get a new car (is it a guy thing?) but I like my 11 year old car.
Mortgage Debt: $307954 (-0.3%)
- Before anyone goes ballistic on me for taking on such a large mortgage debt (which I know you might anyway! 🙁 ) we are planning to rent the out the basement out after the renovations to help with the mortgage. This will be on top of the full amount that we pay accelerated biweekly.
- I'm excited to tackle this mortgage beast and pay down my debt- might be a new focus on youngandthrifty.ca!
Credit Card: $1383
- I pay off my full amount every month (and folks, it's VERY important you do so otherwise you're losing out on a 19% return!) but include it in my net worth update so I have an accurate picture of my actual net worth. I sort of think "If I were to sell everything right now, what would my net worth be?"
- I basically charge everything to my card to reap the benefits (free flights and hotel stays here I come!)
- I got the SPG AMEX card for a few months already and have been using it as often as I can (compared to the MBNA travel elite card) but American Express isn't accepted everywhere here in Canada…which is a hassle.
- BF and I got the Royal Bank Avion Infinite Card as our joint credit card (free for one year since we have a mortgage with RBC! So will be using it and letting you how I like it- I would of course not pay $170 a year for this, but since it's free for one year, why not?)

We have had the right rear brakes cleaned. But man these things skid and lock up if the rear drums are wet. Could the shoes be bad in the drums? Or is it the ABS system? And btw I am new here.

Hi, and welcome to GMI. You'd probably have better luck posting this question in the tech forum. Good luck.
I may be shallow, but counter it by also being dense. Tim
Sounds like a sticking wheel cylinder.
'95 Accord EX-L 302k daily driver
'07 Odyssey EX-L RES 88k
'95 2500 Ram 12v-324k
I've got a similar problem.
To me it seems like the drum very quickly gets a thin film of dirt/rust on it that bites when the brakes are applied.
It usually happens to me when the car sits for 2 or 3 days without being used. Once I make it out of my driveway - get up to about 30 mph and gently use the brakes - it seems to shake off the rust and work good for the rest of the day.
Thanks guys!!
make sure they are adjusted and try to sand the shoes with sand paper to get the film off them, and also make sure to lube your backing plate contact points and make sure your drums dont have any signs of cracking and what not, also if the rear wheel cylinders leak they can contaminate the pad material causing them to stick.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
I had the exact same problem with my 2001 cavalier and spent a lot of time researching this and came up with a bunch of different answers. I'll list most of them in case anyone else wants to check into them or give them a shot, but what eventually worked for me and completely stopped the locking up was this.
1. Removed the old shoes. Do one side at a time and take plenty of pictures if you aren't familiar with drum brake assemblies.
2. Cleaned up the backing plate with brake cleaner and then sanded the 6 contact points with 250 grit sand paper to remove the ridges.
3. Lubed the 6 contact points with anti sieze and re assembled with O'reilly's auto parts cheapo brake shoes.
4. Adjusted the self adjuster until there was drag on the wheel.
5. Checked to make sure the parking brake worked, and then installed NEW rotors also bought from O'reilly's auto parts. (The 200mm x 45mm size) Be sure to clean the new rotors with brake cleaner before installation.
6. Drove the car around and set the shoes by speeding up to 40 mph and quickly slowing down to around 15 mph, but not hard enough to call it emergency braking.
The car drives without any lock ups, pulsation or squealing. If this doesn't work for you then here is what I've also found:
1. Check the wheel cylinder for any leaks. Replace if necessary and replace the shoes if they got any brake fluid on them. (I didn't have this problem)
2. Check the rotors for any gouges and out of roundness. My experience with turning rotors has never been good, so I just buy new rotors. Out of round rotors can also cause vibrations and the car shaking at certain speeds.
3. Aftermarket brake shoes do not fit the drums correctly. This doesn't make sense to me as I used aftermarket brake shoes and they work perfectly. I did buy new rotors also which may mean that aftermarket shoes only fit aftermarket drums??? I'm not sure, I'm just posting other solutions that I found.
4. Brake shoes may look fine, but after a few years they can absorb moisture and need replacing. Also the drum might look fine, but after years of thermal cycling the metallurgy can change and cause hard spots. Replace both.
5. Bad ABS Sensor, proportioning valve, master cylinder, blah, blah, blah.
I hope this helps.

haha my 98 cavalier does this! if its cold and its the first time im driving it for the day when i press the brake the ass end of the car sinks and the wheel locks up (i have ABS) im not sure why it does this but ones it warms up it stops doing it. i have over 173K on the car its going in the shop in a few weeks since im selling it to my brothers girlfriend for her first car and i want to make sure its safe. if they find the prob ill post it up here.

Treating childhood obesity: A family affairMay 03, 2012
With nearly one-third of American children being overweight or obese, doctors agree that there is an acute need for more effective treatments. In many weight management programs, the dropout rate can be as high as 73 percent, and even in successful programs, the benefits are usually short term.
Although family-based approaches to pediatric obesity are considered the gold standard of treatment, theories of the family and how it functions have not been incorporated into effective interventions, according to a study published in the May issue of the International Journal of Obesity by researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.
"The field of family studies provides an innovative approach to the difficult problem of pediatric obesity, building on the long-established approach of family-based treatment," said Joseph Skelton, M.D., assistant professor of pediatrics and director of the Brenner FIT (Families in Training) Program at Wake Forest Baptist, and lead author of the study.
Skelton and his research team reviewed medical literature published between 1990 and 2011 to identify the use of prominent family theories in pediatric obesity research. Of the 76 manuscripts found, 13 were selected for the study.
Wake Forest Baptist researchers found limited use of family theories in the study of pediatric obesity, particularly in weight management treatments. Family behavioral theories can provide valuable insight into the complexities of families, and increased use of these theories in both research and practice may help in the development of more effective treatments for childhood obesity, the study found.
"Traditionally doctors looked at the patient as the one in the family to focus on, but now we have to look at the entire family as the patient," Skelton said.
"One of the problems we found was that there wasn't even a clear definition of family in the literature. A two-parent household with a stay-at-home mother and working father is no longer the norm. Inability to define the family makes it difficult to apply a straightforward model of family function to child health and weight management."
In the clinic setting, families are often represented by a child and a parent, typically the mother. However, this often does not accurately reflect family complexity and it doesn't define which family members should be included in treatment, Skelton said.
A common theme in the field of family studies is that families are a system, made up of interdependent units. Intervening with one unit, such as a mother and a child, will influence other units. These interpersonal relationships influence the health behaviors of the child and the family as a whole, according to the study.
"The challenge is to find ways to incorporate the entire family in the process, while allowing for different schedules and different age kids with different health needs," Skelton said. "If we don't find more effective treatments and this epidemic continues, these children will likely go on to become obese adults, resulting in an entire generation with lower life expectancies than their parents' generation."
Skelton and his team at Brenner FIT have begun incorporating theories of the family into their research and in their treatment approach, and are finding ways to engage more members of the family in treatment.

The only other major monotheistic religion that is of non-Semitic origin is the Sikh religion. Its genesis is within the Indo-Aryan concept of metaphysics.
Based on population worldwide, there are about 20 to 25 million Sikhs, and a majority of them live in the northwestern corner of the Indian subcontinent. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are Semitic faiths. They are related to each other because of their genesis in the Semitic world, but not the Sikh faith.
The name of a Sikh place of worship is called a Gurdwara. A Gurdwara is a temple of the Sikhs as a synagogue is a temple for members of the Jewish religion; a church is a temple for the Christians and a mosque a place of worship for the Muslims. Gurdwara literally means Guru's door. This is where our holy book, the Ad Granth, resides.
We do not worship any idol or man. It is against the principles of the Sikh religion to worship anything except God. Sikhs do not believe in the idea that God takes birth and reject such ideas. God is self-existent, beyond time, beyond space, omnipotent and omnipresent. Sikhs believe that God has sent prophets through time and to many regions of the world to propagate religion.
Folks may have noticed the religious flag with the Sikh symbol, the Khanda, on it which can be seen either near the entrance or on the top of every Gurdwara. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khanda.
The Khanda symbolizes the Sikh faith. The symbol is deeply rooted in history and reflects certain fundamental concepts of the faith, just as the cross is a Christian symbol and the Star of David the Jewish symbol. The flag is called Nishan Sahib out of respect.
Nishan Sahib, as a matter of religious injunction, must be hoisted at each Gurdwara complex. Great respect is shown to the Nishan Sahib as it is a symbol of all that the Sikhs believe in. It is also a welcome banner for visitors. The Nishan Sahib is changed at special occasions and every year in mid-April at the commemoration of Vaisakhi, a religious day that coincides during spring time.
The Lodi Gurdwara is private property, hence no obligation to fly the American flag, but we do to support solidarity on occasions such as the Fourth of July or remembering the 9/11 tragedy.
Sikhs strongly believe in the idea of the separation of church and state. Two members of the Sikh religious community have had the privilege of the ultimate sacrifice for the United States of America as soldiers in combat in Iraq (Pabla and Singh).
The Sikh community is less than 1/20 of the Jewish community in the USA; this gives us a perspective of the numbers. The San Joaquin and Silicon valleys have one of the largest concentrations of Sikhs in America. Hence Sikhs are seen here.
Based on percentage, members of the Sikh religion have already made a larger contribution in terms of the ultimate sacrifice than their total representation in the general American population. In the past century, more than 80,000 Sikhs had died for Allied war causes in both World Wars.
The fifth Sikh prophet, Arjan Dev Ji, was martyred at the hands of Muslim fanaticism in the 16th century in Lahore, which is present-day Pakistan. The ninth Sikh prophet, Teg Bahadur Ji, was also martyred in Delhi, present-day India, for the freedom of another religion. He protested against the massacre of Hindus in Kashmir and against Islamic fanaticism in the 17th century.
The foundation stone of the Harmandir Sahib (center of Sikh religion in Amritsar, Punjab, India) was laid by a non-Sikh, who was a Muslim saint, Syed Mian Mir. This shows Sikhs believe spirituality as the most important concept and the belief in God. It does not matter what religion you are from.
The Sikh religion is a universal faith. Sikhs believe if you are a true Jew, Christian or Muslim, you will find God. Sikhs believe that most believe in the same God, only that the schools of thoughts are different but the ultimate objective is to be good and to reach God.
More than 500 ago, the first Sikh prophet, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, mentioned that the earth revolves around on its own power by God's laws, which we call gravity today, and that there are countless planets (lakh patala patal) and many millions of galaxies (lakh akasha akash).
At that period in time, the mythology of the Hindus mentioned that the earth rested on the back of a bull but Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the first prophet of the Sikhs destroyed this myth by educating that these are all mythologies and that the phenomena of the earth and havens are based on God's laws, which we call today by another name that is gravity.
Almost all those who wear turbans in the United States are Sikhs; almost none are Muslims. After the tragedy of 9/11 a Sikh, Mr. Sodhi, was murdered for being mistaken for a Muslim or a Middle Easterner. Ironically, the Sikhs themselves had been the target of Muslim pogroms in the past centuries in the region of Pakistan and Northern India.
It is important to understand that when you see a man with a turban, he would most likely be a Sikh if it is in the US. It is mandatory for Sikhs to wear turbans. It is a sign of their faith.
Regarding recent history in the San Joaquin Valley, Sikhs first established a Gurdwara in Stockton in 1912. Sikhs have been in California a long time in comparison, as most Californians do not have families going back more than five or six generations.
Sikhs are patriots, as are Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and pagans. For many Sikhs, the ideals of America are close to the egalitarian concept of their religion - freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, freedom of private property, freedom of religion and freedom of thought.
Sikhs love America, and if I maybe so bold as to say, the most patriotic community because we feel it.
Jespal Brar has lived in Lodi for a little more than two years and attends the new Lodi Sikh Temple at Armstrong Road and West Lane in south Lodi. He is a business intelligence systems consultant in the Silicon Valley.

He went to Carolina because (paraphrasing), 'Coach Smith could take all the McDonald All Americans and get them to play as one' He is by far the most talented Piston. Someone like Rip wold not be nearly as effective without his screens. CB either. Playing a team style results in him disappearing or getting lost in the shuffle sometimes. I would say someone like KG is more of an underachiever. To have that talent and not won more? Think of some of those level-headed Portland teams Sheed played for. They all made the playoffs.

Good video of the incident and It's hard to say who's really at fault, but Tony's actions afterwards are still uncalled for. It still seems to me that Tony is more at fault than Matt because you've got two great drivers fighting for position, but Tony's move to me is what clearly caused the wreck.

Tony is and always will be a crybaby. He thinks he is the only one allowed to race hard and when someone "rubs" him, he sounds like the late Earnhardt Sr. Why is it when they do it, they are called "The Intimidator or Smoke" but when they get a payback it is called "dirty driving?" Save the drama for you mama, Tony. You sure talk tough for a "man" that is 4'0. Maybe being a jockey in the Kentucky Derby is more your calling, little boy.

Nascar and Pro Wrestling are a lot alike especially amongst the fans because everybody has one they love and one they hate and they will start fighting with each other.
Jeff Gordon is Kurt Angle...Hated for his success and whines about it
Tony Stewart is Chris Jericho...whines when things aren't his way and acts like he does nothing wrong regardless of circumstances
Jimmie Johnson is Triple H...Can't seem to lose the title once he gets it and makes it boring
Mark Martin is Jake the snake Roberts...Greatest to never win a Title
Darril Waltrip is The Rock...Never shuts up
Dale Sr is Stone Cold...Talks the talk and walks the walk
Richard Petty is The Hulkster...The original Icon
Cale Yarborough is Ric Flair...The next best of his era
The Busch Bros are Kane & Undetaker...Dominate force together, and fierce rivals apart
Rusty Wallace is Randy Savage...Big Name getting overshadowed
Matt Kenseth is the Big Show...Big star and underappreciated
Carl Edwards is Shawn Michaels...Major showboat
Greg Biffle is Kevin Nash...Just laid back and cool
Brad Keslowski & Kasey Kahne are John Cena and Randy Orton...Young stars on the rise of potential fame

Tony Stewart is a "CRY BABY"! NASCAR handed him the Chase Championship last season. And at the race this weekend, he was his "Cry Baby" selg again, throwing a Temper & throwing his helmet.

Helton and France should team up with Vince McMahon and the WWE to bring us NASCAR fight night on TV; Owner vs owner, driver vs driver, pit crews in cages beating each other with wedges and catch cans, wives and girl friends going at it tearing each other clothes off. The rating would be higher than every other white trash reality show.
