Noted film and discussion series tackles the historical precedent to Trayvon Martin
DETROIT, MI – September 4, 2013: Before the tragedy of Trayvon Martin was the injustice of Emmett Till. To better understand this glaring connection between the past and the present, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History's Liberation Film Series begins its 2013 – 2014 season with a free screening of the documentary, The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till, accompanied by a community forum entitled, A Historical Precedent to the Murder of 17 Year-old Trayvon Benjamin Martin, and book signing for Simeon's Story: An Eyewitness Account of the Kidnapping of Emmett Till. This special event takes place Saturday, September 14, 2013, at 2 pm at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, located at 315 East Warren Avenue in Detroit.
Simple yet riveting, The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till (2005; directed by Keith Beauchamp) articulates the madness of racism in the South of the 1950s. Combining archival photos and footage with deeply felt interviews, this documentary tells the harrowing story of what happened when a mischievous 14-year-old black boy from Chicago, visiting his relatives in Mississippi, whistled at a white woman in the street. The lynching that followed was so gruesome that a media circus surrounded the trial – and what stunned the nation were not only the crime, but the blithe unconcern the citizens of a small Mississippi town felt toward the brutal murder of a black teenager. The interviews unveil the suspenseful story, moving from the viewpoint of Till's mother to the perspective of his Southern cousins to actual film of Till's uncle, who had the astonishing courage to accuse the two killers in court. Till's mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, addressed the entire country in news footage, begging that something be done so that her son did not die in vain. The awkward, un-media-savvy quality of the 1950s interviews may seem to come from another world, but the harsh truth of what happened sprang all too clearly from America's still unresolved racial conflicts. Keith Beauchamp's groundbreaking film is the result of a 10-year journey to uncover the truth behind the nightmarish murder of an innocent African-American teenager. Emmett's brutal murder – and his family's brave actions in the horrifying aftermath – served as a major impetus for America's civil rights movement and led Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to make decisions that changed the course of history.
Following the screening will be a community discussion and forum centered on the topic, A Historical Precedent to the Murder of 17 Year-old Trayvon Benjamin Martin, led by filmmaker Keith Beauchamp; Simeon Wright, cousin to Emmett Till; and author, journalist, educator, historian, and activist Herb Boyd. Attendees will also have the opportunity to make donations to support The Trayvon Martin Foundation. Finally, there will also be a book signing for Simeon's Story: An Eyewitness Account of the Kidnapping of Emmett Till, by authors Simeon Wright and Herb Boyd. All events will take place in the museum's General Motors Theater, and are free and open to the public.
The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History's Liberation Film Series: 2013 – 2014 Season, entitled Injustice & Resistance!, brings into focus the escalating injustice experienced by people of African descent in America today.

About Keith Beauchamp
Keith Beauchamp (www.EmmettTillStory.com) found his calling as a filmmaker through his documentary about the story of 14-year-old Emmett Till who, in August 1955, was abducted and tortured to death because he whistled at a white woman. Suspects were arrested for the murder, but they all were acquitted by all-white juries. This story of a young boy, who was beaten, shot, and thrown in a river, ignited the early civil rights movement. Decades later, the FBI re-opened the case because Beauchamp uncovered new information, bolstered by his ability as a filmmaker to reach deep into the communities where these crimes occurred and connect with potential witnesses who otherwise might not come forward. Since his experience making The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till, Beauchamp has become passionate about seeking justice for these families and assisting the FBI by developing new leads for some of their unsolved cases from this troubled chapter in American history. For The Injustice Files, executive producer and host Beauchamp combs through records; interviews family members, witnesses and investigators; and pieces together the known facts of each case. Beauchamp attempts to interview potential suspects and individuals who may know who was responsible for these murders, sometimes confronting them in their driveways after attempts to contact them for interviews prove unsuccessful.
About Simeon Wright
As painful as it might be to relive a night of terror in his house on Dark Fear Road in Money, Mississippi, Simeon Wright, cousin to Emmett Louis Till, endured an additional source of discomfort. With all the coverage and dramatic treatment of the Emmett Till story over nearly 55 years, too many people still were getting it wrong.
With his book, Simeon's Story: An Eyewitness Account of the Kidnapping of Emmett Till, written with the journalist Herb Boyd and published in January by Lawrence Hill Books, Wright intends to expose the errors of past renderings of the story and, in the process, gain some measure of justice. "I'm excited in a way that I get a chance to tell what actually happened," says Wright, 67, a retired pipe fitter who lives in west suburban Summit Argo.
Even with the passage of time, Wright says, he cannot entirely escape the memories. "Certain sounds bring it back. Certain smells. Honeysuckle smell. Because honeysuckle was blooming that summer." Telling the story, setting it straight, already is making a difference, Wright believes—in his spirit, if not in court. "Hopefully, this book will be around as a record of what took place in Mississippi in 1955," he says. Perhaps, at least, there is some measure of justice in that.
About Herb Boyd
Herb Boyd is a journalist, activist, teacher, and has authored or edited 23 books, including his latest one, The Diary of Malcolm X with Ilyasah Shabazz. Among his other more recent publications are By Any Means Necessary: Malcolm X Real Not Reinvented; and Civil Rights: Yesterday & Today. His book Baldwin's Harlem, a biography of James Baldwin, was a finalist for a 2009 NAACP Image Award. In 1995, with Robert Allen, he was a recipient of an American Book Award for Brotherman –The Odyssey of Black Men in America, an anthology. We Shall Overcome, a media-fusion book with narration by the late Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee, is used in classrooms all over the world, as is his Autobiography of a People and The Harlem Reader. His articles can be found in such publications as The Black Scholar, the Amsterdam News, Cineaste, Downbeat, The Network Journal, The Final Call, and The Daily Beast, among others.
Over the last decade or so, Boyd has scripted several documentaries, including several with Keith Beauchamp on cold cases of martyrs from the civil rights era that were shown on Biography Channel and TV One. With filmmaker Eddie Harris, he was the writer on three documentaries –Trek to the Holy Land; Cri de Coeur (Cry from the Heart), and Slap the Donkey, that tracks the Rev. Al Sharpton's presidential bid in 2004. The latter film was selected to be screened at the Montreal Film Festival in 2010. Boyd is also a frequent guest on national television and radio shows, as well as a keynote speaker at many functions sponsored by noted community and college organizations, where his commentaries on African American culture and politics have earned him an increasingly large audience and popularity. For more than forty years, he has taught at institutions of higher learning. Currently, he teaches at the City College of New York, and is also a national and international correspondent for FreeSpeechTV.org, a media company that specializes in Internet television.

Dark Elf
Origins and DistributionEdit
Birth of a NationEdit
Disaffection with TraditionEdit
During the first ages of the world, a number of Elven clans argued that as Elves were the wisest and strongest of the First Races, it was their duty to lead the other races of Good in a campaign to cleanse the land of all Evil.
The leader of this argument, and of the greatest of these clans, was the warrior-prince Viridel Kerithrion, respected by many as a great hero in the wars against Evil, yet also feared by some for his unusually active nature. However, none knew that Viridel was in fact a secret acolyte of Ar Anwar Gerithan, whom Humans call Slangg.
Eventually, the urgings of his master and the frustration with what he perceived as blind conservatism from so-called "wise" councillors led Viridel to march against the Elven Council in an attempt to destroy it and take over control of the Elven Nations.
The Civil WarEdit
Unluckily for him, Ariel Aurlindol, the wife of King Glorien Thelemas had been gifted with the power of prescience, and warned her husband and many of the strongest clan leaders to avoid the Council. Nonetheless, over two dozen were slaughtered by Viridel.
Within three days, Viridel and his forces were surrounded by a vast Elven host. The walls of the Council palace were slowly pounded to dust by catapult and spell, until after twenty days, several messengers appeared in an apparent attempt to negotiate a truce. Having dragged out the talks until after sundown, they returned to the palace.
However, this was only a ruse, buying time for the rebel clans to escape down passages that had been dug over the past seventeen days. Viridel attempted to declare an independent nation after this escape, but King Thelemas, in an unusually swift move for an Elf, proceeded to invade that territory and pursue the rebel clans all the way into an abandoned Dwarf complex. The rebels sealed the tunnels behind them and the chase was abandoned.
The Dark Elven NationEdit
Adapting to the DarknessEdit
The rebel clans were forced out of necessity to adapt quickly. They learned how to work rock, grow fungus and moss for food, tame and train the great beetles and lizards found in these underground realms. Having expanded westwards for years, they chanced upon a series of natural caverns beneath Darkwood Forest and gradually began to build their great city, Tìranduil Kelthas.
Over the centuries, they grew strong again, and began to change in physical form as well. Their eyes became like those of cats, green and able to see in the darkest of conditions, their hair silvered or white, and their skin as smooth as velvet and black as pitch. Having abandoned Erillia and other Elven gods, they swiftly turned to the worship of the Dark Gods and Demons such as Myurr.
The Rebel ClansEdit
It was around this time that a number of lesser clans, horrified at the extent to which they had fallen from the path of Good, managed to band together and flee from the city. In time, they would become the Black Elves, and would look upon all Elves warily.
Of the clans that remained, four rapidly gained the most power and influence, so that the remainder simply became affiliated or even totally integrated into them. These were the Kerithrion Clan, the Camcarneyar Clan, the Mirisgoth Clan and the Tesarath Clan. It was the Kerithrion Clan that became the master of the Dark Elves, their laws enforced by the Camcarneyar, though each have several laws and traditions unique to themselves, and are sovereign in their own parts of the city.

How Long Should Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Last
How long can symptoms from cubital tunnel syndrome last before it's considered permanent damage to the Ulnar nerve?
Ulnar nerve: It's not the duration of the symptoms, it's the severity. If there is a lot of weakness in moving the fingers together and apart for example, there is a motor deficit, and that indicates a need to be aggressive.

Washington DC (SPX) Jan 18, 2010
NASA has issued a follow-up Request for Information, or RFI, for ideas from education institutions, science museums and other appropriate organizations about the community's ability to acquire and publicly display orbiters after the conclusion of the Space Shuttle Program.
The original RFI in December 2008 noted that a potential shuttle recipient would have to pay an estimated $42 million for the cost of "safeing" an orbiter, preparing it for display and ferrying it to a U.S. destination airport. NASA has updated the requirements and tasks needed to make each orbiter safe for disposition.
The agency will not ask recipients to provide the funds for this activity. Except for cost and scheduled delivery changes, the 2008 and 2010 RFIs are virtually the same. In this follow-up RFI, NASA revised the estimated display preparation and ferrying costs to $28.8 million.
The schedule for transferring the orbiters may be six months earlier than originally anticipated. NASA also desires to make selections a year before receipt of the orbiters, so recipient organizations will have sufficient time to conduct any fundraising activities necessary to support preparation and ferry costs.
RFI responses are due to NASA by 11:59 p.m. EST on Friday, Feb. 19, 2010. Organizations that responded to the original RFI do not need to resubmit a full response, but should clarify their positions with respect to these changes.
NASA is planning to transfer space shuttle Discovery to the National Air and Space Museum. Shuttle orbiters Endeavour and Atlantis will be available for placement no earlier than July, 2011.

Chronicles of Carmela
Buy Chronicles of Carmela at Amazon.com.
Wayne Goins' first release on Little Apple Records since 2006, Chronicles of Carmela, is a brilliant showcase of Dr. Goins' guitar and writing chops. Carmela is Wayne's guitar. From the bossa nova of "Jasmine's Day", the Basie-Hefti groove of "Choppin' Wood" (for Freddie Green), the balladry of "Dale's Dream", to soulful outings like "Why Call It Amnesia" and "Deborah at Dawn"), to the easy shuffling "Waylayed" and the kick-butt "Chi-Town" shuffle of "Sink or Swim," there are really ten different, STRONG grooves in this disc.
Immediately upon hearing the very first track on the CD, you know you are in for a great ride. Goins invites a few musical associates from Kansas State University, where he is Director of Jazz Studies. Pianist Bill Wingfield, bassist Gordon Lewis, saxophonist Craig Treinen former student drummer Matt Leifer, and guest artist Everette DeVan with his B-3 from Kansas City make up the ensemble.
Carmela herself has this singing tone, and Goins' sound has a long finish to it that makes his single note runs sound much like a horn. Or, he can play Wes Montgomery octaves, as he gets into on the "Choppin'" opener. Wayne also invokes the Freddie Green comping behind the Treinen, Wingfield, and Gordon solos.

Sales of new land and home packages in south-east Queensland have increased 17 per cent in the 2013 financial year, and valuers say the past three months have shown even higher growth.
National valuation firm
HTW's chairman
Brisbane's northern suburbs now show an increase of 100 per cent in sales rates for the last 12 months while in the far western suburbs, where bigger developers such as
"Most of the estates we have looked at in the north have pretty much doubled their sales rates in the past six to 12 months, and a lot of these are at presold stages, so they are not even constructed," Mr Hulcombe said. "You won't see these figures come through in approvals or dwelling starts for some time, so it is a very good lead indicator to say that the market has turned."
Cancellations have dropped
Sales can always fall through, but there is also evidence that the rate of cancellations has dropped. Developer Stockland reported in October that it had recorded a drop in the cancellation of new-home purchases in Queensland. Stockland's head of residential for Queensland,
Official building approvals data showed a 3.8 per cent rise for Queensland in the month of September.
Building approvals for the state have been on the rise since July.
Mr Hulcombe said it was nothing like the explosive increases in volume and values that Sydney had seen in the past year. However, the results did show the south-east was recovering.
He noted that a high proportion of buyers had been interstate, and had come through investment marketing channels. However, that had turned, and localised buyers had increased as a proportion.
The south east Queensland apartment market has also seen increased activity and margins had improved back to 2003 levels Mr Hulcombe said.

Word is there is one aeroplane in the Archer Daniels Midland fleet that is capable of making a trans-Pacific journey and it is on pretty much permanent stand-by with a flight plan for Sydney.
Apparently, all that stands between the ADM executive and the long-haul west from headquarters in Decatur, Illinois is an invitation from the board of the Australian object of its latest desire,
But that seems unlikely to be immediately forthcoming despite Monday night's $200 million plunge on another 5 per cent of GrainCorp and yesterday's formal delivery of an offer of $12.20 a share.
Now the first thing that needs be said here is that this latest non-binding and quite lightly conditional approach represents a very much more significant increase than it might look on paper.
Sure, that opening approach back in November was $11.75 a share but that was ahead of the payment of GrainCorp's final dividend of 35¢. So, what looks like a 45¢ increase is really 80¢, which represents an increase of slightly better than 8 per cent in the underlying value of the ADM offer.
So this is an increase nothing like as derisory as it might look at first glance, a point that would have been immediately obvious to GrainCorp boss
The fact is, for all the GrainCorp story of growth and a gathering evolution away from its traditional dependence on the ruthlessly cyclical grains storage and handling game, ADM has twice now exposed some surprising liquidity in its Australian target's register.
That it is the long funds that have sold hard and early here and that it is estimated that better than 15 per cent of ADM is now sitting in the hands of short funds, would suggest that Watkins has some issues ahead in sustaining a defence, even though GrainCorp's narrative of rejection seems well enough founded.
That said, it was the short funds who responded with vigour to ADM's second pitch, bidding the stock up to a high of $12.34 yesterday and generating a spike in volumes not matched since the last time ADM came knocking.
Plainly, the market is betting that ADM might need to knock at least one more time if it is to secure the endorsement of the GrainCorp board.
The good news is that this is a bet based on fundamentals like forward earnings and cash flows, like historic multiples and premiums paid in change of control transactions, like the scarcity value of the assets targeted and like the quality of the GrainCorp management team that has an ambitious plan and a recent history of delivery on strategy.
There is some difference of view around the local market about what the average historic multiple actually is for successful transactions in the Australian agriculture sector and then whether earnings multiples are an appropriate way of valuing routinely cyclical businesses like grains.
The multiple watchers (and they are in the majority, need we tell you), say ADM's metrics don't yet add up to success. At $12.20, the offer represents about 8.5 times 2013 consensus earnings. Yet the average multiple for a successful transaction in the Australian ag-space runs at better than 9.2 times earnings. And if that historic truth was to hold here, ADM would need to come back with a price nearer $13.25 to secure GrainCorp.
Needless to say, ADM people are not so convinced by the straight-line multiple pathway to defining fair value.
They argue, for example, that the average numbers are distorted by cycles which saw Viterra pay $2 billion for ABB Grain, a deal that was done at nearly 16 times EBITDA. But that was a deal done in drought-busted 2008. So the fair price that was necessary to win control was always going to look scary when expressed as a multiple of historic or assessable forward earnings.
The ADM view then is that our starting point here should be cash flows based on a 10-year outlook that is derived from historic performance both of the target and of the broader sector it supports.
The idea here is that, for all that GrainCorp has made of diversifying itself away from the Australian grains business, 60 per cent of its cash flow is driven by harvest volumes. Australia is coming off two great grain years (at least in terms of volume if not quality) and the outlook for the 2013 season is simply not as good as it has been.
These are market realities accepted by GrainCorp though their relevance to either the immediate or long-term valuation is dismissed.
Last month Watkins revealed plans to spend a further $250 million on a range of optimisation projects across the existing grains and ports arms and the growing oils businesses that she foreshadowed would add $110 million to earnings by 2016.
This is the stuff that feeds GrainCorp's view that ADM's offer has arrived at an early moment of a strategic evolution, one that aims to embed diversification of both product and market and supply geographies with the long aim being to manufacture a stable base of earnings that is less vulnerable to traditional cycles.
Given this conviction, it will be very interesting to watch how GrainCorp's board manages a situation where it believes it is subject to a bid that continues to materially undervalue the company but where the bidder is a 20 per cent shareholder, has signalled an intention to hold that position no matter what and is offering other pathways forward including the potential of strategic alliance.
I think it's a fair bet to presume that Watkins' board will authorise further resistance of the ADM takeover approach. But there might well be more delicacies in rejecting engagement on approaches of potentially value-accretive alliances.
Mind you, for all the bidder's claims that it is a patient, long investor here, it does rather look like they reckon the odds of generating a transaction here are pretty good. I mean, here we are not yet three weeks since a very definitive rejection by GrainCorp, and already ADM has plunged back into the market adding material bulk to its stake and its offer.
In the end then, the question of whether or not Woertz get her invitation to Sydney is probably far more delicate than it might look.
All things being equal, it is very hard to believe that retail savant Solomon Lew didn't time yesterday's Premier Investments AGM to collide with the RBA's final rate decision of 2012.
A former RBA board member himself, Sol yesterday anticipated yesterday's 25 basis point cut in the official cash rate by repeating past criticism of the central bank for its failure to anticipate the level of crisis inflicted on the Australian economy by the resources boom and its impact on the underlying economy.
"I have said many times that the RBA must act to send consumers a clear signal," Lew told his shareholders yesterday. Incremental changes of 25 basis points are not enough to achieve a change in consumer confidence. As a retailer with 50 years of experience, I can tell you that businesses are doing it tough – conditions are as difficult as I have seen.
"For years the non-mining sectors of this economy have been largely ignored while policy-makers have focused solely on Australia's growth thanks to the mining boom. If this continues the rest of our economy will continue to shrink and we will be left with the legacy of these mistakes in a post-boom world – a less productive, less competitive economy. I strongly believe the RBA should take immediate action and make the next cut meaningful for consumers."
Needless to say, the RBA failed to heed Lew's view and maintained its "incremental" approach.

Fight for the faithful
By BBC News Online's Ollie Stone-Lee
Choice has long been a Conservative watchword.
But it is only now, as ballot papers are sent out, that Tory grassroots members are being given the right to choose their own leader.
It is an historic moment, even if the choice on the ballot papers has been restricted to two - Ken Clarke and Iain Duncan Smith.
Now those MPs, having whittled down the initial field of five, each carry just one vote out of 300,000.
Long-standing MP Sir Patrick Cormack recognised this contest would be very different.
"My vote is the same as my wife's in this election," he laughed.
The Staffordshire South MP has already met members of his constituency association to explain why he is backing Ken Clarke and he has also written them all a letter setting out those views.
"Many members are extremely excited, I think some are absolutely delighted, some do not think they should have it," he told BBC News Online.
The leadership contenders tried to seduce MPs into joining their camps in the contest's early stages, now it is the turn of the members to be wooed in the frantic last three-and-a-half weeks of campaigning.
Heavy schedule
Both candidates have begun a heavy schedule of speeches and meetings which will take them before thousands of members - some party events are even said to be over-subscribed.
Some activists believe, however, much of these efforts will be wasted as members return their ballot papers long before the 11 September closing date.
As the drive for votes continues, Conservative Central Office is refusing to hand members' details to the candidates.
But Tory councillors have already received a letter from Mr Duncan Smith stressing the importance of local government.
Manifestos for both men will also be sent out this week with the ballot papers but Jeremy Bradshaw, who stepped down as chairman of the Holborn and St Pancras constituency association, cast doubt on the effect of such efforts.
"I don't think many people are going to have their minds changed by what the campaigns send out now, it will depend more on what they see on television and on their gut instincts," said Mr Bradshaw, a former chairman of the influential Tory Bow Group.
As it stands, the only head-to-head debate between Mr Clarke and Mr Duncan Smith will come on BBC Two's Newsnight.
Behind closed doors, Tory members will be able to see, hear and question the two candidates separately at nine regional hustings.
Some Clarke supporters claim Mr Duncan Smith is "frit" of having more head-to-head debates - a claim strongly denied by allies of shadow defence secretary.
"The essence of democracy is debate and discussion and we want to see with hostile questions how the candidates will react," he said.
Activists and the rest
Martin Vickers, deputy chairman of the Great Grimsby Conservative Association in North East Lincolnshire, thinks the hustings may prove more important in how they are reported "back to base" by those who do attend.
Coun Vickers made the distinction between the party activists and that greater unknown - those members who have little to do with Tory events.
"It is impossible to say how these people, who we never really have any day-to-day contact with are going to go," he said.
He estimates 25-30% of members are not active in the party at all in many constituencies.
Jean Webber, a branch and divisional chairman of North West Hampshire constituency, also highlighted the distinction between different types of members.
Wider choice wanted
"I would think if you took a vote just of party activists then Iain Duncan Smith would win but I think left to the membership at large, who will probably say 'Iain who?', then probably Kenneth Clarke may win."
Mrs Webber, who has been convinced by Mr Duncan Smith's campaign, believes many members, particularly those who are not active in party events, are still undecided.
She said a lot of them would have found it more exciting if they had been allowed to choose from the full original field of five - it remains to be seen if that disappointment hits turnout.
It might now be a one-on-one battle but the leadership race threw up enough surprises when there were only 166 MPs voting, not 300,000 unknown members.
That uncertainty will both frustrate and offer hope to the two challengers as they step up their fight for the Conservative crown.

proprietary name of a natural mineral water from southern France, first attested in English 1904.
One of my correspondents sends me an account of perrier's, a little restaurant, which I give in his own words.
We all had flasks and the colonel kept a supply of perrier water.
Just a single mutton cutlet and one of those quarter-bottles of perrier Jouet on a tray in my study.
Man: Well, shall we say a lettuce salad, and a perrier and soda?
He got up and went slowly to the table where the whisky and perrier water had been placed by Murgatroyd.
In 1882, perrier was sent to Florida to observe the transit of Venus.
Edinburgh, 1883—perrier, C. tudes sur les beaux-arts en France et l'tranger.
General perrier died at Montpellier on the 20th of February, 1888.
This splendid result attracted all minds, and rendered perrier's name popular.
We had the photographs taken for our own pleasure, but perrier must have bought them from the artist, no doubt.

Cross-Post: The Rush for the Entrances in Myanmar
On CGD's Views from the Center, I just reviewed a good report on the coming aid boom in Myanmar.
On CGD's Views from the Center, I just reviewed a good report on the coming aid boom in Myanmar.
Don't get me wrong: sarcastic headline aside, I'm not in favor of the exploitation of children. However, I feel moved to speak against a recent push, I guess led by Hugh Sinclair, to insert a ban on child labor into the lending policies of microfinance institutions (MFIs), microfinance investors, and such accrediting programs as the Smart Campaign and the Seal of Excellence.
The nine client-members on the board of the Grameen Bank, all women, have made a sassy public response to the interim report of the commission investigating the Grameen Bank. (Hat tip to the Grameen Foundation.)
I have to admire the pointed prose:
Business training programs are a popular policy option to try to improve the performance of enterprises around the world. The last few years have seen rapid growth in the number of evaluations of these programs in developing countries. We undertake a critical review of these studies with the goal of synthesizing the emerging lessons and understanding the limitations of the existing research and the areas in which more work is needed. We find that there is substantial heterogeneity in the length, content, and types of firms participating in the training programs evaluated.
The machinations around the Grameen Bank over the last two years have a had a paradoxical, dreamlike quality. Harsh words have been spoken by mighty leaders. Eminent dignitaries have rushed to the defense. Court battles have been fought. Crimes have been alleged. The mighty Muhammad Yunus has fallen.
In November 2009, some guy nobody had heard of, Daniel Rozas, wrote an article asking whether there was a microcredit bubble in south India:
If I had had the stamina, I would have inserted into my book a chapter on the history of the microfinance movement.
On CGD's main blog, Julia Clark and I just posted a ranking of noted American think tanks based on their ability to generate public profile: press mentions, academic citations, web traffic, and social media followers. The effort is aimed at providing some healthy methodological competition for another ranking of think tanks, this one looking at institutions around the world, which experts have mostly criticized.
The global health legacy of 2012 will be twofold, a year of both increased commitments to health and flat lining budgets. Just look at this past summer: world leaders made a call to end preventable child deaths, the London Summit on Family Planning has resulted in $2.6 billion of commitments, and the International AIDS Conference saw a commitment to the "beginning of the end of AIDS." While these are all great news, it is still uncertain as to who will pay for these ambitious goals: biggest donors are already scaling down their health aid budgets, and there remains a tremendous resource gap to reach the end of AIDS.
One popular statistical software package in academia is Stata. CGD has always used it, and thus so have I. As my colleague Mead Over pointed out, Stata's business model is an interesting mix of private and public goods provision. The private corporation profits by cultivating a public free-software community on top of its core product. Stata sells you the main program, which includes commands to perform all sorts of analyses.

Penn Holderness Biography
Penn Holderness is a dreamer. After graduatingfrom the University of Virginia in 1996, he was thoroughly confused asto what direction his life should take. After briefly entertainingthoughts of law school and the ministry (like his father), Holdernessopted for broadcasting. He began by interning for a year in hishometown of Durham, North Carolina, and then headed west for GrandJunction, Colorado. Faced with the daunting task of covering sports ina market that had none, Holderness persevered by inventing sports news,whether it was starting his own Polar Bear Swimming Club or learning toparaglide and skydive.
In 1999 he moved south to Orlando, Florida, and started as a sportsreporter/producer but was quickly promoted to weekend sports anchor atthe young age of 24. As head of the sports department and host of Sports Edge, a fast-moving recap show, Holderness finally found the direction he was looking for. He now adds host of Designer Finals to his interesting list of career challenges.

Shaun White wows on Winter Dew Tour: Top moments from Breckenridge
Shaun White sends it in Superpipe finals on Saturday at the Nike Open at Breckenridge
Alli Sports
Shaun White's tight pants: After just four days on his snowboard this season, White dominated the Superpipe semifinals on Friday with a nearly perfect score of 98.00. In finals on Saturday he launched a massive backside air on his first hit then followed it up with a 900, backside 540, frontside 540 stalefish, double McTwist 1260 and alley oop backside rodeo to beat out Louie Vito and Iouri Podlachikov. Colorado locals didn't fare as well: Matt Ladley finished sixth and Steve Fisher finished seventh.
Iouri Podlachikov came back from a bad slam in his first run to finish in second place in the Men's Snowboard Superpipe finals at the Nike Open at Breckenridge on Saturday
Alli Sports
I-Pod's faceplant: Podlachikov's second place Superpipe finish was doubly impressive considering he smashed his face up on the last trick of his first run in finals. Ouch!
Kelly Clark turns the women's competition upside down at Breckenridge
Alli Sports
The other women just can't: In the women's Snowboard Superpipe finals Kelly Clark -- the defending Dew Cup champ -- continued her long reign of dominance, beating out Aspen's Gretchen Bleiler and Chinese rider Xuetong Cai without even breaking out the 1080, her biggest trick. Maddy Shaffrick, from Steamboat Springs, finished fourth in finals after winning in semifinals.
Breck local goes big: French skier Kevin Rolland and Canadian skier Justin Dorey took the top two podium spots in the Men's Freeski Superpipe finals, but the biggest applause went to Duncan Adams, who grew up in Breckenridge and is now a student at the Colorado Mountain College. Adams' switch 1080 on his final hit helped put him on the podium, just ahead of Gus Kenworthy, from Telluride. Torin Yater-Wallace, from Basalt, took sixth.

Going off the rails: Tom Wallisch ruled the Slopestyle finals on Sunday (see video above), beating out Nick Goepper and Alexis Godbout. Kenworthy finished fourth. The ladies had to sit this one out: Women's Slopestyle is only being featured at two of the three Winter Dew Tour events this season, an action sports ice ceiling we can't wait to see smashed.
O'Brien's back: Spencer O'Brien, who missed last year's Dew Tour event at Breckenridge due to an injured shoulder, won the Women's Snowboard Slopestyle finals, ahead of Finnish rider Enni Rukajärvi and Czech rider Sarka Pancochova. The biggest news? Perennial favorite Jamie Anderson finished way down in fifth.

Double corks galore: And, last but certainly not least, the Men's Snowboard Slopestyle finals were full of fireworks, with Norwegian rider Gjermund Braaten on top. His winning run -- switch backside tailgrab 270, Cab boardslide front board to fakie, switch backside double cork 1080, Cab double cork 900, frontside 180 switch wallride to switch backside 180 off, backside double cork 1080, frontside double cork 1080 -- showed just how far Slopestyle has come as the sport prepares for its Olympic debut in Sochi, Russia in 2014. Braaten beat out Canadian riders Sebastian Toutant and Charles Reid for the win. Breck local Eric Willett, the top finishing rider from Colorado, ended up in ninth place.

California Raisins Face Paint Video
Be Afraid (Be Very Afraid!) of the California Raisins
Around Halloween, people come up with all manner of crazy face paint ideas, but this guy takes the cake. I always loved the California Raisins claymation TV specials, but now I think that love affair is over. How and why this man decided to make this video, I can't say. But his makeup skills are amazing, and the results are absolutely terrifying. Tell me you aren't scared.

The Radical Left's War on America
It is time to cast aside all remaining doubt.
President Obama is not trying to lead America forward to recovery, porsperity and strength.
Quite the ooposite, in fact...
In September of 2008, American Thinker published a James Simpson's article "Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis". It connected then-presidential candidate Barack Obama to individuals and organizations practicing a malevolent strategy of destroying our economy and our system of government.
The methodology is known as "The Cloward-Piven Stategy".

Truth is, you probably can, at least in some limited way. Personally, I think that it would be more pain than it is worth. Every time you play with the stack, you have to be more careful. Plus, the compilers for C++ do things that are not as easily understood, from my POV, so it is more difficult to know if you are accidentally breaking a rule. Finally, as has been my experience outside of OBOS, C++ makes it very easy to invoke a lot of code with only a little bit of code. That is part of its power. I had an issue at work where x[i]=""; was invoking a couple hundred lines of code. It was used in a loop as an initializer for every data item read from a flat file. It took me a day or so with the code profiler to figure out what was going on and to replace that with x[i].clear(); which had a different, much faster implementation. That is the sort of thing that you want to avoid in kernels.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The price was good in comparison to other options. There were no problems with the bill or checking in. I knew that Super 8 would mean a value hotel, but I was still disappointed and expected better. The rooms were outdated, carpets in the hallway needed replacement, and the sink was leaking in the room. We had to go back and have our room key re-coded because it wouldn't open the exterior door. The complimentary breakfast was overcrowded, both in terms of space and in other travelers and there were not enough tables. The hotel location was reasonably located but is difficult to access from the main road and the entrance to the hotel is on the side. I worried about the security of our vehicle and there were a lot of people just wandering around the parking lot at night. We were awakened at 1:45am Sat night by children running down the hallway and knocking on the doors. Next time we'll pay a little more to hopefully have a better experience somewhere else.
Location and price The biathlon squeaked any time you moved while bathing.
The beds were comfy No remote for the TV, no elevator, the toilet handle was broke!
Friendly service. Very clean. Fridge in room. Pool was nice. Good location. Comfy beds. No complaints.
The hotel is right in the middle of town, so it was easy to get everywhere. The room was clean, the staff was wonderful, the pool was awesome, and the breakfast was good, pretty much what you'd expect from a hotel. They do extended stays here, which is great! It was a better value than the Motel 6 up the road, which is about the same price and very run down.
The room was clean, although it looked old. The staff was not friendly and were not much help when questions were asked. It seemed like helping was an inconvenience. When we got to the hotel, we had to wait 10 minutes for someone to come and help check us in and there was no one there when we wanted to check out - they need more staff to assist their guests.
The pool and location
Make sure you book a larger room. The small rooms are really small and our first week there was unbearable. In the second week we were upgraded to a great room with lots of space, two sinks, vanity, good TV, for a very good experience. Staff is very helpful and friendly, pool and hot tub are good, too. Just don't book yourself into one of the small rooms, unless you can handle that for a night or two. Small room at first, but after 5 days were were upgraded.
The room was nicer than the exterior. had fun in the pool. Felt like a motel since access to everything was from outside. rowdy neighbors. flat bed.
Fairly clean Free breakfast included - cold sweet snacks, waffle maker, juice, coffee Tiny room with low ceilings Right by the road with all the traffic noise The walls and ceilings are paper-thin and the guests upstairs (teenagers) were roudy all night and didn't stop until 2am even though they were given 2 warnings by the management. I had to get up early the next day and couldn't sleep. For the $$ it was terrible and pictures looked so nice compared to reality!
Bed was ok Not secure; accosted by homeless beggar at side entrance which was not locked; plaster from leaky ceiling repairs all over rug, door knob and door; No Hot Water for shower in morning
Nice staff. Hallways and stairways FILTHY. Stained carpets everywhere. Hallways smell. Our bathroom's floor was dirty. No shampoo. Need more outdoor lightning. Tv didn't work.
Lobby and staff was nice. Seemed safe. Room not in good condition. Mold on shower ceiling. Tub stopper did not work (did not bother to ask for repair, as I was too busy). Bed was probably the worst I've ever experienced. "Spa" was a joke. No jets, barely hot, water appeared to be dirty. Pool also dirty looking. Pool area has great potential.
I've stayed here a few times because of the price. The staff is always helpful which is the only redeeming quality of this place. The front desk even watched my dog while I went to dinner. The place looks like it's falling apart. Wallpaper is coming off the walls and the ac units in the hallways were dropping condensation to the point the carpet was saturated with water.
It was an economy motel-simple accommodations, but at $46 you can't complain. It was equipped with a fridge and had a pool, so I felt it was a good value. There were a couple annoyances that I could overlook (to follow), however, the thing that really soured my experience happened after I left. I hand-washed my favorite skirt in the bathroom and hung it up to dry. Of course I forgot it when I left. I called the front desk 2 days later when I got home to ask if they could mail it to me (I would of course pay the shipping charges). They said nothing had been turned in, but they would call if it turned up; however, the cleaning service typically turns things in immediately after cleaning a room. Which means someone took my favorite skirt. I am super bummed about this. Beyond this, the some of the staff were just unfamiliar with the property. 1) The person at the front desk told me the rooms were not equipped with fridges. They were, so it was a pleasant surprise, but it indicated her lack of familiarity with the building. 2) Further, she indicated my room was on the wrong end of the building-again suggesting her lack of familiarity. Maybe she was new.
Location, location, location, for the price. We've stayed here before and it's slowly improving, but this is barebones basic accommodations and for sleeping and showering only. There are nice restaurants nearby, try Tomositas, and the square is a 20 minute walk. About everythIng else. The room card keys need to be constantly reprogrammed and the staff could use some training. Rooms don't have coffee pots nor microwaves. Very very basic.
Friendly No breakfast
Great location, nicely remodeled room with wood floor, roomy Traffic noise, especially street racers
Nothing No parking, received wrong room, no vending, hard bed, no roll-away.
Near the plaza, whole foods, trader Joe's, Santa fe Clay. Person above was heavy footed.
There was a bed Room had burn holes throughout; location was terrifying. My friend and I are grown men in good shape and were both terrified to stay here.
Nothing Had to pay for wi-fi connection that didn't work until I complained 3 different times
The room was clean and newly remodeled. Linens were fresh and the cost was really affordable. At night there were people yelling and screaming almost all night. It sounded violent and there was a lot of concerning language being used. Hotel staff was extremely unconcerned about it and asked us not to call the police. The internet did not work; even after we paid for it. The staff was shady; they made excuses for why the total was not printing on the credit card receipts and would only take cash for internet cards because "the machine is being weird" and then put the cash in their pocket directly.
The location was okay. Not too far from what we were interested in doing (exploring Santa Fe) Filthy room-I don't think the sheets had been changed. Reeked of cigarette smoke (supposed to be a non smoking room) and plenty of holes in the bedsheets where cigarettes appeared to have been put out. Sketchy parking lot, people hanging in parked cars, weird corners-police cars circling, which was a relief since it felt pretty unsafe.
More often than not Motel 6 still seems the best bang for the buck for those (like us) on a limited budget. We are seldom disappointed.

I had this happen to me again today. My boss's laptop tried to
access the Captive Portal network. I gave him a MAC pass-through,
but it didn't work. He got no pop-up when he opened a browser,
and while he could ping other hosts on the external wireless AP
(like my laptop), he couldn't ping the m0n0wall running captive
portal. He had a lease via DHCP though. It didn't show up in the
m0n0wall because it's a static lease, so I don't know if the
m0n0wall actually assigned it to him or if it was cached in his
kernel. I had to add his static DHCP IP to the "Allowed IP addresses"
page to get him online.
I want to get to the bottom of this, but I don't know how to
go about debugging. Can someone give me some things to try
next time so I can narrow down where the problem is?

Before submitting the FCC Form 465 (Description of Services Requested and Certification Form), eligible health care providers (HCPs) should develop the evaluation criteria to be used to select a service provider. RHC strongly recommends that HCPs develop a scoring matrix, or a list of weighted evaluation criteria, that they will use in evaluating bids submitted for the services requested on the FCC Form 465. The selection criteria should include the most important criteria needed to provide health care.
Some examples could include, but are not limited to:
Once the HCP has developed its evaluation criteria, it should assign a weight to each in order of importance. For instance, if cost is the most important criteria, the HCP may assign a weight of 40 percent to cost, with other criteria receiving a lesser weight (with the total weight equaling 100 percent). Each bid received should be scored against the determined criteria, ensuring they are all evaluated equally. HCPs may contact RHC for a sample scoring sheet, keeping in mind that the criteria should be developed based on the needs of each individual HCP, not the example provided.
The FCC Form 465 is the first form in the application process that enables a health care provider to request bids for telecommunications or Internet services from service providers, and certifies to USAC that the HCP is eligible to participate in the Rural Health Care Program.
Once the FCC Form 465 is submitted and approved, USAC will post the completed form on its website, which provides information about the HCP's service needs to potential service providers. Once the FCC Form 465 has been posted, it begins the mandatory 28-day competitive bidding process, during which service providers may contact the HCP to discuss its service needs.
In addition to posting an FCC Form 465 on the USAC website, a health care provider may choose to provide additional information about its service needs by issuing a request for proposals (RFP). Issuing an RFP does not exempt an HCP from the requirement to submit an FCC Form 465 or the competitive bidding period before contracting for services, but it does provide an opportunity to specify detailed requirements about the HCP's needs that might exceed the space allotted on the FCC Form 465.
HCPs whose previously-submitted FCC Form 465 has been posted on the RHC website can register for electronic certification (e-certification). E-certification allows an HCP to electronically sign the FCC Form 465 so it can be immediately posted on the USAC website in future funding years.
HCPs and service providers are cautioned not to enter into a service agreement or sign a contract prior to the end of the required competitive bidding period. Doing so will result in a forfeiture of support for the entire funding year. However, service providers may contact health care providers directly during this time to discuss rates and conditions for providing service. USAC is not involved in contract negotiations between health care providers and service providers.

The session lasted four hours and by the end the sombre mood had lifted: they had conceived a plan. They would take back the House in November 2010, which they did, and use it as a spear to mortally wound Obama in 2011 and take back the Senate and White House in 2012, "We've gotta challenge them on every single bill and challenge them on every single campaign.", insisted Rep.Kevin McCarthy.)R-CA)
At the end of the meeting, Gingrich declared, "You will remember this day. You'll remember this as the day the seeds of 2012 were sown."
"The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."

Subtle yet sublime. That's how I describe Louis Vuitton's newest leather goods collection: the Monogram Empreinte. The iconic Monogram pattern which we all love is subtly embossed on the supplest calf leather, a discreet yet indelible imprint of Louis Vuitton's rich heritage and savoir-faire. This delicate Monogram impression naturally enhances the beauty of the calf leather's finely textured grain and soft and sensual feel.
The collection consists of a tote called the Lumineuse which comes in two sizes, the bohemian Artsy (previously released in Monogram Canvas), Inspiree – a bowling bag, and the Petillante clutch (which I adore). The line is also complemented by a lovely long wallet (Portefeuille Secrete Long) and a coin purse (Portefeuille Secrete Compact). Their pared-down, functional silhouettes would surely make great companions in a modern urban life. Classic and contemporary, young in spirit yet chic at any age.
Balancing the street appeal of bold zippers and metallic hardware are quiet reminders of Louis Vuitton's tradition of craftsmanship – flawless saddle stitching, tonal edge dying, a myriad ingenious details waiting to be discovered. Elegantly restrained, endlessly versatile, the colors effortlessly adapt to everyday wear: Infini – a navy so dark it is almost black, Ombre – a sophisticated taupe, Orage – a rich blue, Neige – a lush cream, and Flamme – a deep burgundy. Each is luxurious yet laid-back, discreet yet distinctive.
Monogram Empreinte: a subtle signature, an enduring style, an unforgettable impression. Available in Louis Vuitton stores from
October November 2010. I'll be posting more info about these bags in the next few days, so watch out for that!
UPDATE: I have planned on posting the prices on my next post but due to numerous requests, here they are:
Monogram Empreinte Lumineuse PM – US$2180
Monogram Empreinte Lumineuse GM – US$2720
Monogram Empreinte Artsy MM – US$2330

(from the Lawrence University Student Handbook)
To help maintain the atmosphere of mutual trust and confidence among students and faculty and to insure that each student is judged solely according to his or her own merits, the Lawrence University community has established the following honor code:
No Lawrence student will unfairly advance his or her own academic performance or in any way limit or impede the academic pursuits of other students of the Lawrence community.
The Lawrence University community firmly believes in the value of the academic atmosphere that this Honor Code is intended to insure. An academic honor system secures freedoms, conveniences, and privileges, which would not otherwise be available to students, creating an atmosphere in which they can learn without constant surveillance.
Students are responsible for understanding the Honor Code, particularly as the Honor Council provides extensive information to all students. The Council does not consider ignorance or negligence as excuses when determining whether or not an Honor Code violation has occurred.
The scope of actions which fall under the code is very broad. The following are examples of actions that the Lawrence University community considers to be academically dishonest. This list is not exhaustive.
- Giving or receiving aid during any examination or otherwise cheating on an examination.
- Failing to distinguish carefully between one's own work and material from any other source (e.g., written materials, oral sources, Internet or other data available through computer resources.)
- Misrepresenting the type or amount of work done (e.g., in fabricated laboratory reports or reading lists.)
- Misusing university resources, including library materials, conservatory resources, and computers.
Pledge and Reaffirmation
As members of the Lawrence University community, students are required to sign the following Honor Pledge; by doing so they affirm their belief in the value of the stipulations of the system:
"I hereby affirm that I understand and accept the responsibilities and stipulations of the Lawrence University Honor System."
Furthermore, students must reaffirm the Honor Code by writing "I reaffirm the Lawrence University Honor Pledge," followed by their signatures, on all submitted work.

It used to be that Google's Nexus devices were considered the "developer editions," which is why so few accessories were made available for them. But Google seems to be changing its tune on the matter as it is apparently working on a neat little tool that would let you create a custom a Nexus device to your liking. Sort of.
According to information made available to Android Police, Google's Workshop will let users customize cases and make live wallpapers that would correspond with the device's outer shell. It's kind of like the customization abilities of Motorola's Moto X, except that this particular feature will only be made available for the Nexus 5, and it's for cases, not the phone's body itself.
The Workshop will be accessible through your browser via the Google Play Store. A tool dubbed "Moments" will allow you to paste a selfie or photos of a recent trip on a case. You can then select more photos that correspond with that particular day or scene as turn them into a live wallpaper.
There's not much information available on when this service will debut. Regardless, it looks like this is either a response to how well the Nexus 5 handsets have sold, or it's Google's attempt to give its stock Nexus devices a little more priority over the other offerings out there.
