Colorado bartenders face off in a Campari aperitivo competition tonight
A serious bartending scene in Denver has culminated in dozens of cocktail contests, many of which propel our local bar men and women to a national spotlight, where they go up against the country's best.
And tonight, one of the biggest contests of 2012 is going down at Green Russell: Twelve bartenders will compete in the regional finals of the Campari-United States Bartenders' Guild competition.
"Every year, the USBG teams up with a national partner and does a national competition," explains Mike Henderson, president of the Colorado chapter of the guild. "The guild does regional competitions from all regional chapters, and then the winners go on to a national competition. This year, it's the Manhattan Cocktail Classic. The winner of that contest goes to an international competition in Singapore."
One of our locals will have the chance to compete at that level, but first, he or she will have to get through tonight's event, which has already involved an elimination process. Would-be competitors were charged with creating an aperitivo from Campari, which is, says Henderson, a "cocktail designed to stimulate the appetite." Most aperitif cocktails, he notes, "involve vermouth or fortified wine, and they're usually not sweet. They're usually sour or bitter. A classic example is a negroni, but this is a loose interpretation. There's a lot of room for what you want to do."
Bartenders from all over the state were invited to submit recipes to a panel of judges, who picked twelve finalists in a blind tasting process. Now, those finalists will convene to mix their drinks on stage, a nerve-racking exhibition that is as focused on technique and skill as it is on how a drink tastes. "This contest is one of the few that follows the USBG format of rules," Henderson says. "Those rules are very specific; it's sort of a white-glove-and-silver-tray style of bartending. It's fun to see hard-core bartenders really refining their game."
And Henderson reveals that some big names are competing. Here's who you can expect to see:
Justin Lavenue, The Bitter Bar, Boulder Sean Kenyon, Williams & Graham Darrin Gilman Randall Layman, Steuben's Noah Heaney, The Bitter Bar, Boulder Alexandra Parks, Green Russell Michael Cerretani, The Bitter Bar, Boulder Daniel Bjugstad, Pizzeria Locale, Boulder Raffi Jergerian, Elliot's Martini Bar, Fort Collins Robert Leavey, The Broadmoor, Colorado Springs Tara Curry, Adrift Ken Kodys, Root Down
The fun starts at 6 p.m. at Green Russell, and the event is open to the public. While Green Russell won't be serving its regular menu tonight, there will be food and $5 cocktails available -- as well as two free drinks per person.

>Much appreciated.
I had to work on this awhile back myself and was able to get it to work by:
(1) Setting up DHCP to hand my work laptop an address based on MAC
address (so I always got the same IP)
(2) NATing UDPs on port 500 only back to my laptop's IP address
(3) Allowing fragmented packets
This would appear to "fail" the first couple of times I tried to log
into No-Tell VPN back into work, then on the third attempt, it would
magically work. I continued and improved to success on every connection
attempt by:
(1) Removing the NATing rule
(2) Continuing to allow fragmented packets
(3) Continuing to obtain IP address via DHCP mapped by MAC to my laptop
(4) Setting a WAN rule to port forward all packets on any port from the
lower 15 IPs coming from my work place back to my laptop IP
I wasn't aware of traffic on port 10001; I never saw that in my logs and
by restricting port forwarding to my company's public VPN IP addresses,
I've limited where incoming SYN packets will be received in this
scenariio. This works fine for me. I find the Nortel VPN connectiivty
solution pretty chinsey compared to other VPNs I have used.
I can provide you with screen prints of my WAN ruleset if this helps.
It was a bit of a pain to get this to work. The real problem, in my
opinion is accouting for the SYN packet(s) back and thus the port
forwarding was my solution. Perhaps a better one exists, but from what
I saw in the logs as I was trouble-shooting this, I didn't see any way
around it. Now knowing about port 10001, I might look into something a
little more restrictive, but I feel pretty good with the restricted IPs
being forwarded back at this point.
I'm surprised you don't get logging. You may want to look into your
overall logging setup; that is what helped me solve my problem -- seeing
the SYN from port 500 trying to get through.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/10/2013 (1373 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
LONDON -- Dressed in a lace and satin gown designed in the 1840s, Britain's three-month-old future monarch, Prince George, was christened Wednesday with water from the River Jordan at a rare gathering of four generations of the royal family.
The occasion had historic overtones: the presence of Britain's 87-year-old monarch and three future kings, Princes Charles, William and, of course, little George.
Queen Elizabeth II, usually the centre of attention, quietly ceded the spotlight to her rosy-cheeked great-grandson, who seemed to wave at her when he arrived -- an illusion created by his father, Prince William, playfully moving the infant's arm.
The private affair at the Chapel Royal at St. James's Palace was also attended by Prince Charles, next in line to the throne, and the Queen's 92-year-old husband, Prince Philip, who has shown remarkable stamina since returning to the public eye after a two-month convalescence following serious abdominal surgery.
All told, it was an exceptional day for a monarchy that seems to be basking in public affection since the 2011 wedding of William and Kate Middleton and the maturing of Prince Harry, who appears to have put his playboy days behind him.
George, who was born on July 22, wore a replica of an intricate christening gown made for Queen Victoria's eldest daughter and first used in 1841.
When William was christened in 1982, he wore the original gown -- by then well over a century old -- but the garment has become so fragile a replica was made.
The infant, who will head the Church of England when he becomes king, was christened by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.
He arrived at the chapel in his father's arms with his mother by their side.
Kate, smiling broadly on her way into the chapel, wore a cream-coloured Alexander McQueen dress and hat by milliner Jane Taylor, with her long hair brushed to the side. William wore his customary dark suit and tie as he proudly carried their first child.
Kate's parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, and her sister, Pippa, and brother, James, were also at the ceremony.
Pippa Middleton read from the Gospel of St. Luke and Prince Harry read from the Gospel of St. John. The two hymns were Breathe on Me, Breath of God and Be Thou My Vision.
The chapel has a strong connection to William's mother, the late Princess Diana, whose coffin was laid before the chapel's altar for her family to pay their last respects in private before her 1997 funeral.
Baby George has seven godparents, among them William's cousin, Zara Phillips, daughter of Princess Anne and a close friend of the couple.
They also include Oliver Baker, a friend from William and Kate's days at St. Andrews University; Emilia Jardine-Paterson, who went to the exclusive Marlborough College high school with Kate; Hugh Grosvenor, the son of the Duke of Westminster; Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, a former private secretary to the couple; Julia Samuel, a close friend of Princess Diana and William van Cutsem, a childhood friend of William's.
William and Kate hired photographer Jason Bell to take the official pictures, which are expected to include a historic multi-generational photograph of the Queen with the three future kings.

Jenson was excited to begin the quest for the Infinity Stone. Not because it was exciting in itself, or because he wanted to help, but because it gave him a friend, one of the things he had very little of over the years-- Jenson was the kind of boy that would skip school to smoke marijuana-- and, even better, it gave him a goal in life. He lived, or, rather, existed, simply coasting through, never focusing on anything. His life was consisted on two things: saving money, and stealing money. When he got or found money, he would simply set it aside to pay for one of the countless debts in his life, such as the one he was currently responsible for at the local tavern, or maybe to buy more drugs. When he stole money, only as pick-pocketing, the most petty crime in Gyrule, it was practically the same, just not finding or earning any of it.
"So, do you have any idea where the Infinity Stone is, Zero?" Jenson asked curiously. After all, how would somebody find something with not even a general location to search in?
"Actually, I do. There is but one problem."
"What's that?" Jenson had begun to realise that he was being stared at. It had only now occured to him that a man in public talking to an invisible man could be easily misenterpreted as the ramblings of an insane drug-addict (only half of that was true, in Jenson's case). "On second thought, we should continue this conversation in private."
"Very well."
The silence of the situation left both Jenson and Zero incredibly awkward and bored, and they simply concentrated on steps being taken. Jenson glanced into a puddle-- it seems it had been raining, and Jenson's temporary insanity merely exaggerated it-- and, sure enough, saw Zero's reflection in the waters, only slightly. This comforted him, as he had begun to doubt that Zero was still there, not because there was any reason to, but because the lack of signs of his presence made the awkward state of his mind enhance to fear. Zero left no footprints or sounds walking, and it seems that only the people who he wants to hear him CAN hear him. This is great for keeping the secret of the Infinity Stone, but left Jenson feeling lonely. More lonely than he had ever felt, because he knew that someone was there, but not communicating.
Once the two reached their destination, Jenson was awe-struck. The beauty of this cave was beyond words. It seemed to be made of a giant rainbow, a massive collection of crystals of infinite color, infinite beauty. The colors that lined the walls were so vivid that Jenson felt like he did not desrve to see it, and he should be blind.

Fears that India could pull out of the International Cricket Council and go out on its own are behind Cricket Australia's support for a plan to shake up the world governing body, say sources inside the Australian game.
A position paper to be discussed next week by the ICC's executive board proposes wholesale reform to the running of the global game, with far greater power handed to India, Australia and England.
Already slammed by Cricket South Africa president Chris Nenzani as unconstitutional, the draft plan was criticised heavily on Wednesday by the peak players' body, the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations.
''The FICA board and our members are extremely concerned about the future of international cricket,'' said FICA executive chairman Paul Marsh.
''This proposal is designed to vest control of the game in the three boards of India, Australia and England. It is not in the best interests of the global game and we have real fears that it will only serve to strengthen the 'big three' countries whilst the rest are left to wither on the vine.''
A redistribution of ICC finances is central to the proposed reforms. A key element of the plan is for a new four-man executive committee where CA, the Board of Control for Cricket in India and the England and Wales Cricket Board would be guaranteed a place, with the other position selected by them each year.
Those three bodies stand to receive a far greater portion of ICC revenue than they do under the present model, at the expense of other member and associate nations.
Other changes would include the two-tiered system for Test cricket, in which Australia, India and England would be exempt from relegation, and the removal of the control over scheduling from the ICC to allow countries to essentially pick and choose who they play.
Sources say Australia is acting in a bid to keep India ''in the tent''. They say there is a genuine threat that India, which through its broadcast deals generates at least 70 per cent of the game's revenue, could quit the ICC if the distribution model is not changed, a development that could bring the international game to its knees.
One nightmare scenario that has been discussed in Australian circles would be a significantly expanded Indian Premier League, where the competition's franchises would try and poach the world's players out of Test and other international cricket.
As it stands, 75 per cent of ICC earnings are divided between the 10 full member countries equally and the remainder goes to associate members.
The proposals must be ticked off by seven of the 10 member nations.
CA chairman Wally Edwards defended the mooted changes on Wednesday. ''There will be a discussion in the next few days among the ICC's full member nations about possible changes to how the ICC works,'' he said.
''CA's view … is that we need to continue to promote international competitions, including the primacy of Test cricket, we need to improve global cricket leadership, and we support that members should be working to promote the interest of the game as their priority.''

Sarah McLachlan releases free Christmas song
Sarah McLachlan has taken a short break from perfecting her bliss (and making an album, due in 2013) to record and release a new Christmas song.
"Find Your Voice" was co-written and recorded with McLachlan's frequent collaborator, Pierre Marchand. It's available as a free download at McLachlan's own website, although the Vancouver-based songstress is encouraging people to leave a donation for the Sarah McLachlan School of Music. Which you'll want to do, of course, when you hear the very fine job some of those students did on the song's background vocal and percussion work.
In a media release, McLachlan said, "Christmas is a difficult time for many both economically and emotionally and I hope this Gift of Music can help in some small way. My holiday wish is that we can all find the good in everyone and in every situation and be kind to each other. I wish you all a very happy, peaceful holiday filled with love, laughter and light!"
The video for "Find Your Voice" is being hosted exclusively by the CBC.

I don't have the courage to listen to this song or watch the video.
A few Christmases ago, I heard Sarah sing "Song for a Winter's Night", written by Gordon Lightfoot. The tears actually poured (and I'm a tough guy). Gordon's original version was good, but her cover was ... celestial. Even today, the opening bars cause me to choke up.
If you enjoy tears, I recommend her "Wintersong" Christmas album in general and "Winter's Night" in particular:
The lamp is burning low upon my table top,
The snow is softly falling.
The air is still in the silence of my room,
I hear your voice softly calling.
If I could only have you near,
To breathe a sigh or two,
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love,
On this winter night with you.
And on it goes to teardom.

xmas songs are so boring. just like xmas movies.
talking about mind and mood manipulation.
Nov 30, 2012 at 12:49am
Many people are struggling everyday. Life is difficult often. Winter weather and Christmas is the most important time to remember to reach out to help each other. Even a smile or kind gesture can help when we least expect it. Lets make this world a better place.

Get the lowdown on the upcoming horror comedy with commentaries from its stars Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried, director Karyn Kusama and screenwriter Diablo Cody.
A brand new featurette from "Jennifer's Body" has been unleashed. Posted via Yahoo! Movies, the brief behind-the-scenes look features commentaries about what this horror comedy is all about from director Karyn Kusama, screenwriter Diablo Cody and two of its leading actresses Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried.
In the featurette, Kusama lays bare the essence of the story; that is, the most popular and beautiful girl in school is really a demon inside. Cody then takes over revealing how the demon comes in possession of Jennifer's body, while Fox and Seyfried talk about their own characters, Jennifer and Needy respectively. Aside from the commentaries and on-set footage, several new footage from the film are included as well.
From the noted "Juno" screenwriter comes a new comedy thriller film about Jennifer, a beautiful cheerleader possessed by a demon. Due to her current state, she seduces boys in a Minnesota farming town to feed off them. Now, it is left to her nerdy best friend Needy to save the boys and stop Jennifer from killing all the boys.
In addition to Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried, the cast consist also of Adam Brody, Amy Sedaris, J.K. Simmons, Chris Pratt and many others. It is expected to come out September 18 in U.S. theaters.

Apple Refuses Ebook with Tits on Cover; French Go Crazy
According to Le Monde, Apple has refused to sell a book with a picture of tits on its cover. The publisher – a small press, which hardly anyone had heard of before this event – is crying foul. Using phrases like "censorship" and "a violation of freedom of expression," this publisher is calling on the French Minister of Culture, and even the European Commission, to act on their behalf and force Apple to accept their book's cover.
Now, I've written about Apple's hypocrisy in this area before, but this is not about censorship, and it is no threat to the "freedom of creation," as the French publisher claims. No one can force any store to sell a specific item; any retailer has the right to choose what they sell. You may not agree with their rules, but it in no way threatens your "freedom of expression."
Apple does have stringent rules for their stores: these say that you can't have nudity on covers of items, but they go much further, as developers I know have found out. There are many words you can't use in descriptions, and the rules about how apps work are even more byzantine.
No, French publisher, you're not being censored. Apple's "prudishness" may bother you, but it's their store, and you play by their rules. Apple sells their content in many countries that are far more prudish than the United States, so it's probably that their rules are stricter for that reason. Get a grip.

Letter from A.D. John Currie - December 5
Of course the Wildcat Nation got a head start when we announced this past Friday that we have accepted the invitation of the New York Yankees to represent the Big 12 Conference in the inaugural New Era Pinstripe Bowl against Syracuse from the Big East Conference. I would first like to congratulate Coach Snyder, our student-athletes and coaches for their hard work and determination that has resulted in K-State's first bowl appearance since 2006.
For our student-athletes, band and cheerleaders this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent Kansas State in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl and Yankee Stadium while experiencing one of the greatest cities in the world and most famous venues in all of sports. Our first goal as a program is a "world-class student-athlete experience" - I believe this one certainly qualifies.
And, it is an opportunity to put Kansas State University, the Purple Powercat, our No. 1 football graduation rate in the Big 12 and our 200,000 strong national alumni base right in the middle of the world's most influential media market. Did you know that we have over 3,000 alumni in the greater New York area and thousands more up and down the east coast?
As excited as our players are, I do understand that there are many hard working and loyal K-State fans right here in Kansas who may feel they cannot make this trip for various reasons. The travel logistics and expenses of this particular destination, like past bowl trips to California or Hawaii, are definitely more complicated than hopping in the car and heading south down I-35!
I am grateful that the Big 12's best alumni association has been hard at work putting together travel packages for various budget levels, including securing a block of $99 hotel rooms. The K-State Alumni Association will also provide official travel packages to New York, with or without charter air service. Visit their official bowl travel page - www.k-statesportstravel.com - for all travel package information.
One advantage of the New Era Pinstripe Bowl is that the tickets we have remaining in the official K-State block are in great locations. Those tickets begin at $100. We encourage you to purchase your tickets for the game through the K-State Athletics Department at the official online bowl headquarters - www.k-statesports.com/bowlgame. Beginning tomorrow, tickets may also be purchased via phone (1-800-221-CATS) or in person at the Athletics Ticket Office in Bramlage Coliseum through 5:30 p.m., Monday, December 13.
For our fans who cannot attend the game, ESPN will have the Iive telecast at 2:30 p.m. CT on Thursday, December 30, while Wyatt and Stan's radio broadcast can be heard across the entire K-State Sports Network and online for FREE world-wide at k-statesports.com.
Our early ticket sales and interest from the Wildcat Nation have been very encouraging! We are grateful for your support and look forward to taking the Little Apple to the Big Apple and painting New York City purple!
Go Cats!
John Currie

2017 Geocache Challenge Passport (May 27-Nov 11)
Crown Point State Historic Site is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the ruins of two fortifications from the colonial wars between the British and French. Long before the American Revolution these colonial powers both laid claim to the Champlain Valley and this strategically important peninsula known as Crown Point. The French built Fort St. Frederic here between 1734 and 1737 and used it as a base for raids on British settlements in New York and New England. As a result, the British mounted various expeditions to take control of Crown Point, and in 1759 they were finally successful. They immediately began construction of new fortifications that they called "His Majesty's Fort of Crown Point". Enclosing over seven acres this was one of the largest built by the British in North America.
In 1775, at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, the American colonists captured the fort and secured sorely needed cannons and heavy ordnance. Crown Point was occupied by General John Burgoyne's army in 1777 after the American evacuation to Mount Independence and remained under British control until the end of the war. The ruins of Fort St. Frederic, "His Majesty's Fort of Crown Point," and surrounding lands were acquired by the State of New York in 1910.
Today, visitors can explore the preserved ruins of these forts and tour the museum which includes a multimedia orientation program, large scale models, and an exhibit of original artifacts recovered from the site by archaeologists. Additionally, the site offers access to the historic Crown Point Pier, the Champlain Memorial Lighthouse, the walking paths on either side of the newly constructed Lake Champlain Bridge, and fantastic views of Lake Champlain. Tours for school and adult groups, as well as outreach programs, are available by reservation.
Pet Policy

It wasn't until I sat down to write this that I realized I'd have to confess to watching Single Ladies–more than once. It's true. Admittedly, I watched the first episode because I think Dionne Stacey Dash is fine. And although I find the acting in some ways utterly intolerable, somehow I've seen enough episodes since to still be able to follow the story line. Saying I watch because I want to support Lisa[waaaaaybeyondhershelflife]Raye for miraculously still finding work–even in a recession–is pretty unconvincing. Perhaps I should just blame baseball season. Apparently, I'm not alone. Viewership of Single Ladies has been consistent, and Vh1, which has been steadily rebranding itself as a grown and sexy, older sibling counterpart to BET's blazing hip-hop and R&B, will more than likely renew the (two-thirds) black version of Sex and the City for another season.
My Favorite Albums of 2011 (SO FAR)
We're a little over halfway through 2011, and we've already been blessed with some incredible music. And while we still have albums from Drake, Jay-Z and Kanye, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and (possibly) OutKast to look forward to, allow me to give you a quick rundown of my top 5 albums of 2011 thus far.
Pick these records up if you haven't already, and let us in on some of your personal faves below.

U.S. Airways Saggy Pants Charges Don't Hold Up
U.S. Airways Saggy Pants Charges Don't Hold Up
Assocaited Press (via News One) | July 14, 2011
SAN FRANCISCO — Prosecutors said Wednesday they will not file charges against a University of New Mexico football player who was arrested after wearing saggy pants on a plane at San Francisco airport.
The San Mateo County District Attorney's Office reviewed the June 15 arrest of Deshon Marman and determined criminal charges were not warranted.
"My belief is if we took this into a courtroom with 12 members of our community on our jury, they would tell me, `Come on guys, you have more important things to spend your time on,'" District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said. "And I share that view."
Marman was arrested on suspicion of trespassing, battery of a police officer and obstruction after police say he refused to leave the US Airways flight on the captain's orders.
The incident sparked allegations of racial profiling after a photo surfaced of a man who flew aboard a US Airways flight wearing skimpy women's panties and mid-thigh stockings days before Marman's arrest. That man was white. Marman is African-American. (Read more)
Prisoners Near Death As 1,700 California Inmates Continue Hunger Strike To Protest Appalling Conditions
Prisoners Near Death As 1,700 California Inmates Continue Hunger Strike To Protest Appalling Conditions
Marie Diamond, Think Progress | July 13, 2011
A hunger strike started by prisoners at Pelican Bay to protest appalling conditions has spread across California as inmates at 13 prisons joined in solidarity. The number of inmates refusing food hit a peak of 6,600, and is now estimated at 1,700. They are now in their 13th day of the hunger strike, and relatives are reporting that many are near death but still refusing medical attention.
Pelican Bay is a maximum security facility where inmates are held in windowless isolation cells for more than 22 hours a day, shower once every three days, and can have little or no contact with other prisoners for years and even decades at a time:
A core group of prisoners at Pelican Bay said they were willing to starve to death rather than continue to submit to prison conditions that they call a violation of basic civil and human rights.
"No one wants to die," James Crawford, a prisoner serving a life sentence for murder and robbery, said in a statement provided by a coalition of prisoners' rights groups. "Yet under this current system of what amounts to intense torture, what choice do we have?"
The hunger strike comes only weeks after the Supreme Court ordered California to dramatically lower its prisons population, because severe overcrowding was exposing inmates to high levels of violence and disease.
Sex Over Consciousness?
So now we in the hotel
Mirrors on the ceilin'
She say she wanna blow L's
I hear her and I'm willin'
But everytime I smoke well a nigga mind gone
So that every word I spoke well I'm tryin' to put her on
But she couldn't hear me
I told her all about how we been livin' a lie
And that they'd love to see us all go to prison or die
Like baby look at how they show us on the TV screen
But all she ever want me to do is unzip her jeans
Then all I really want is for her to get on top
Before you know it she workin' jerkin' it non stop
And all that next shit I was previously talkin'
Is now that wet shit that I'm currently lost in
And while that sweat drip I am reminded
All the times my brother told me that pussy is blindin'
I'm findin' the more I grow the more y'all stay the same
Don't even know the rules but yet y'all tryin' to play the game
And ain't it shameful how niggas blame hoes for givin' birth
To a baby that took two to make
Coward nigga you a fake
How gon' look in your sons face and turn your back
Then go start another family dog what type of shit is that?
She said it's okay
Rubbed my head and told me to relax
Laid a nigga down proper like she was recordin' tracks
Said I know you wanna change the world
But for the night please
Just reach over and hit the lights please
There are countless feminist critiques of Hip Hop that problematize the overly sexual positions of womyn in lyrics and videos. J. Cole's account of his attempts to treat a womyn as an agent of consciousness offers a real experience of something that feminists would, more or less, like to see from Hip Hop music. Reminiscent of Tupac's "Keep Ya Head Up," Cole camouflages his sincere disproval of situations that continue to be themes in the Black community. Although his lover insists on dimming the lights, her actions cannot silence the animosity he has for fleeing men. I return to my use of "more or less" a few sentences above to address the elements of Cole's verse that are still deserving of a feminist criticism. Yes he does use the "hoes" but it's not an endorsement of it. Rather, and this is what makes the verse dope, he's mimicking the voice of men that are incapable of having relationships that transcend the carnal make-up of the two people involved. Hence the line, "the more I grow the more y'all stay the same," which is inspired by thoughts of Cole's brother, who once told him that, "pussy is blinding". These cats that disrespectfully see womyn as hoes fail to understand love; that love is an extrovert state, meaning that the affect between two people should spill out as energy intent on the liberation of their people. Otherwise Cole wouldn't try to explain how America uses racism as a resource: "I told her all about how we been livin' a lie/ And that they'd love to see us all go to prison or die".
Black Colleges Key to Reviving U.S. Education
Black Colleges Key to Reviving U.S. Education
Stan Washington, Atlanta Voice (via New America Media ) | July 12, 2011
ATLANTA – If the United States is going to regain its global leadership position in higher education, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) will need to play a major role, says a White House official on education.
Just how the nation's predominately Black institutions will participate in that objective was the main topic at a recent Southern Education Fund conference of HBCU presidents, held in Atlanta.
HBCUs are a critical component in President Obama's national education initiative to restore the U.S. to its former ranking as the world's leader in higher education, said John S. Wilson, Jr., executive director of the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
"We have not been number one since 1995," Wilson said during a media briefing with six HBCU presidents. "We need somewhere around eight million more graduates. Almost two million of them need to be African American, with roughly 200,000 coming from HBCUs.
"That is a big challenge," he said. "That means we have to go from around 36,000 a year of graduates from HBCUs to somewhere north of 50,000 a year by 2020."
Presidents in attendance at the media briefing included: Carlton Brown of Clark- Atlanta University, Beverly Hogan, of Tougaloo College, Walter Kimbrough, of Philander Smith College, Charlie Nelms, of North Carolina Central University, Mary Evans Silas, of Kentucky State University, and David Wilson, of Morgan State University.

Close Ties: Tying On A New Tradition
A Documentary project in New Orleans, LA by Park Triangle Productions | Film website
About the film
Close Ties: Tying on a New Tradition provides an intimate look at a rites of passage ceremony that connects teenage boys with male role models. The "Tie Tying ceremony" held at New Orleans barbershop, "Mr. Chill's First Class Cuts", was created by Dr. Andre Perry and Wilbert "Chill" Wilson as a way to strengthen communities struggling with crime, poverty and alarming high school drop out rates. Cultural traditions have been the cornerstone of African American communities for centuries. Close Ties examines the impact of this new tradition and shows us how tying a necktie — an act associated with men who embody professionalism and prestige — can inspire high school boys to commit to a life of achievement and success.
That's Racist?
So someone just decided to fuck with me today, right? I'm all for celebrating your cultural heritage. But are these two people actually getting married in South Africa, in a Colonial Africa themed wedding, with Union Jacks displayed on the walls?! Are these British people waving Union Jacks and posing with guns in the same place where their ancestors forced apartheid on South Africans?
This all led me to the conclusion that some White people just don't give a fuck. And why should they? If I were born with privilege that protected me from being affected by such things, I probably wouldn't give a fuck either.
Miscarriage of justice for some pregnant black women
Miscarriage of justice for some pregnant black women
Lori Adelman, The Grio | July 13, 2011
If you're wondering why Republicans have been unable to work with Democrats to arrive at a political deal to prevent the American government from going into default, it might be because they're too busy criminalizing 15-year-old girls for having miscarriages.
You read that correctly. A 15-year-old girl named Rennie Gibbs currently faces life in prison in Mississippi over a miscarriage, and she is not the first to face attempted criminalization of this kind (though she is the first to be charged in Mississippi). Prosecutors are allegedly targeting Gibbs because she has reportedly abused cocaine, but there is no evidence that her drug use contributed to the miscarriage.
Unfortunately, her case is by no means isolated, and in fact marks the continuation of a nationwide trend towards criminalization of pregnant women. Increasingly in the United States and around the world, laws are being created and prosecutions are being brought that would make pregnant women into criminals, many of these women of color like Rennie Gibbs, an African-American teen.
Often created by conservative lawmakers, these laws attempt to assign fetuses "personhood" status, devalue pregnant women by reducing their identities to fetus carriers, and punish women for engaging in various behaviors.
Despite their dramatic posturing and elaborate rationalizations, the people driving these prosecutions are not actually concerned with keeping mothers or babies safe. If they were, they wouldn't ignore the consensus of doctors and leading medical organizations, who have publicly opposed laws like these for years on the grounds that they scare women away from seeking the medical treatment they need and sometimes force doctors to turn in their own patients.

That crafty Red Ted Art set a challenge recently to get crafting with nature. Obviously I pointed to the fabulous Autumn Nature Wreath that Dimples and I made, but she demanded that I do better. So I did.
Dimples and I had cause to stay inside one day. Rain- bleurgh. But I had some fabulous new metallic acrylic paints that I was eager to use and a bowl of pinecones we had garnered weeks earlier when out and about.
So we painted them. With five different colours, we took it in stages. As most young children have a relentless desire to blend any number of colours into a non-descript grey-brown, I tried to avoid this by offering only one colour at a time. We sat side by side painting individual 'leaves' of the cones, letting them dry between colours. (I wasn't so mean that I didn't give Dimples a few to go mad on in her own unique way.)
Once they were dry I put them in a glass dish in the playroom so that Dimples could get them out whenever she wanted. They looked so very beautiful.
Then I had an idea.
So I bought three lengths of ribbon, cut it into different lengths and used a glue gun to attach a pine cone to the end of each ribbon length. Once all the cones were dried, I spent a while arranging them until I was happy with the design before securing the loose ends of ribbon with a bow. And I hung it on our front door to welcome Autumn.
I recently shared this craft on a hangout with some crafty UK bloggers, hosted by the unshakeable Maggy at Red Ted Art. She made some dear little Pine Cone Babies– which feature in her new and utterly fabulous craft book. Kid's Chaos made an adorable hedgehog using a cone and air drying clay, whilst Plus 2 point 4 did some printing with pine cones, which make fabulous wrapping paper. The ever-creative Zing Zing Tree made a very adaptable felt animal creation, that you can mix and match and Mum at the Madhouse made a lovely little owl that I adored. The Frog & The Fairy made some adorable small world play trees and a Christmas tree for a doll's house, which is such a wonderful way to really bring nature into your home for young children. Proving that great ideas are very simple, Liz at Me and My Shadow made the most elegant pin-able Pine Cone Photo Holders. I wish I had that kind of creativity?
If you fancy a watch and a giggle- things didn't quite go to plan- then you can watch the Pine-Cone Craft Hangout here.

The noetic effects of sin are the ways that sin negatively affects and undermines the human mind and intellect. Moroney^ [1]^ argues that sin's noetic effects are most prominent in our knowledge of God (our "sense of divinity") and less prominent in other domains.
"The Fall brought about the perversion of human faculties, but it did not destroy those faculties. Human reasoning abilities are affected but not eliminated. This can be seen in the fact that the writers of Scripture often appeal to the minds of unbelievers by citing evidence on behalf of their claims, using logical inferences in building their case and speaking in the language and thought forms of those outside the faith." (J.P. Moreland and William Lane Craig, Philosophical Foundations for a Christian worldview, ch. 1)

Eh. ĀThey had burners (gate) doing security there, due to the... difficulties of regular security people interacting with the artists. ĀIt was like a special security zone or something.

When I did the thing with the FLG there, I had to haggle a lot to get enough crew tickets to run the piece, and we got the largest allowance of any group there. ĀWhat strikes me as a good idea is to have /several/ noisebridge groups putting together proposals so each can get a small batch of tickets. but they're really whiny about awarding them - much more so than other events I've done.

It's an off-shoot 'in-joke' about an article and associated antics and high melodrama.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Charged with M1 disorderly conduct, M1 assault, M3 trespassing, city court, bench trial. Defendant is a green card holder with restrictions (2 year temporary green card), in the process of removing the status and become 10 year green card holder. Judge made racist comments in the court against defendant. Convicted disorderly conduct and assault, dismissed trespassing. Just filed appeal paperwork. Questions:
1.Because of judge's racist comments, will that be one of the solid ground for appeal?will that be considered Unconstitutional?
2. Because of the immigration reason, will this deserve a jury trial although it is petty offense?
3. Individually, the sentences are max 6 months, 6 months and 30 days. Could all the sentences be added up as the worst 13 months then qualify jury trail?Because the conviction was completely rediculous, the defendant should be innocent. Thus why filed the appeal although the chance of an appeal is very small. But it might be a way to seek for justice. There is a short time line for appeal, so have to file the paperwork before it is getting too late. Want to get some good advices before can get an attorney.
None of the charges you mention are jury eligible in AZ. Did you (if you represented yourself) or your attorney make any kind of objection when the judge made the racist comments? It would have been a good time to ask for a mistrial and notice the judge for cause. However, even if you didn't, you might be able to convince the appellate court (which is superior court for your purposes) that it was "fundamental error," i.e., the kind of error which precluded you from having a fair trial.
I truly hope that you had an attorney, and I would suggest that, whether you did or did not, you consult with an immigration attorney. Depending on the underlying facts of the offenses, you may still have deportable problems, especially with the assault.
The sentences do not matter for purposes of a jury trial. The court doesn't have the authority to "stack" misdemeanor sentences to any sentence over 6 months. Neither do the
immigration consequences. However, if you had an attorney who did not advise you of the immigration consequences for convictions on these charges, and you would have taken a plea agreement if you'd known those consequences, you may have a shot at a petition for post-conviction relief, based upon the attorney's failure to advise you when you were making that decision.
I suggest you consult immediately with a good, competent defense attorney as well as an immigration attorney -- or have the defense attorney do that for you. Your stay in this country may count on it.Ask a similar question

Tiger Woods made a winning start to his 2008 campaign with a fourth straight victory in the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines near San Diego.
Woods finished on 19 under, eight shots clear of Japan's Ryuki Imada, for his sixth win in the event overall.
It put him alongside Arnold Palmer with 62 career victories in joint fourth place on the all-time PGA Tour list.
Woods now only trails Sam Snead (82), Jack Nicklaus (73) and Ben Hogan (64) in the standings.
Palmer paid tribute to Woods's achievements, and said: "I'm sure that there are many, many more (wins) coming in the future, and I wish him all the luck in the world."
Woods began the third round eight shots clear of the rest of the field - his largest 54-hole lead since he led by 10 on his way to a 15-shot victory in the 2000 US Open at Pebble Beach.
He made the perfect start to his final round with a 40ft birdie putt at the first, and led by 10 strokes midway through the round.
Not even a run of three bogeys in a row from the 14th could stop his progress for long and he sealed his success with a birdie at the last.
"I wanted to go out there and make no bogeys and shoot something under par, so I got half of that right," Woods said.
He has now won the Buick in five of the last six years, and added: "Ever since junior golf, I really seemed to have played well here. It fits my eye, I feel very comfortable.
"It's just one of those things where some people just have an affinity for
certain golf courses.
"My buddy (Mark) O'Meara won five times up at Pebble Beach, I guess Sam
(Snead) at Greensboro and (Jack) Nicklaus at Augusta.
"Guys that have won a number of times at certain venues and somehow this golf course seems to have been pretty good for me."
Imada was delighted by his final-day surge up the leaderboard, thanks to nine birdies, to finish second.
"That was my goal going into Sunday, and you know, that's almost
like winning the golf tournament to me," he said.
"With Tiger having an eight-shot lead or whatever there was pretty much no
chance for me to catch him."
What are these?

Well, get used to it, because this Saturday both will happen.
Whilst Jason Robinson leads out England at Cardiff, another West London-based team will be aiming to get a step closer to Cardiff in the Challenge Cup.
The BBC Sport website's Road to Cardiff 2005 began with West London beating Fife 42-10 in the preliminary round.
On Saturday, the Sharks face South London Storm in the first round proper, and whatever the outcome, history will be made.
This is the Sharks' first Challenge Cup campaign, whilst the Storm lost their one previous Cup game last year, so Saturday's winners will move into uncharted waters.
For added geographical confusion, South London and West London meet in North London, at the home of London Skolars.
The cup tie takes place before the Skolars' friendly against the London Broncos, a prospect which thrills the Sharks and Storm players.
"It'll be fantastic to play in front of a decent crowd and raise the profile of the game in London," Sharks forward Mick Whitehead told BBC Sport.
"There are plenty of people who don't realise there are rugby league teams in London. It'll be great exposure.
"Even some people who watch the Broncos don't appreciate that we're playing literally round the corner from their ground."
In just three years, the Streatham-based Storm have taken major steps towards consolidating the future of the game in the South East.
They have build a formidable youth structure and are even sacrificing their place in the National League.
"For the last two years, we've come 10th out of 14 teams in National League Three," says chairman Paul Brown.
"But next season we're stepping down to the Rugby League Conference Premier Division.
"This is to help build the club over the next two or three years, cut down on expenses and consolidate until our juniors are ready to feed through to the senior side."
With the Skolars entering the Challenge Cup in the next round, Saturday's derby ensures there will be two London teams in round two.
And Oldham-born Whitehead says it would be nice to have the chance to prove some Northern doubters wrong.
"A lot of people up north are surprised that we play down here and always assume that it won't be up to the same standard as in the North West," he says.
"Whoever the winners go on to play in the next round, it should be interesting."
Whilst Saturday's game expenses will only be the cost of a one-day Travelcard, the victors will progress to round two, where they are only 80 minutes away from a possible third-round trip to France or even Russia.
Not that a trip abroad would be anything new for the forward-looking Storm, mind you.
"Last year we became the first British team at any level to tour Australia since the 1997 Super League team, when we sent over a party of 17 players," says Brown.
"We have an annual trip to France and hope to arrange a trip to the USA or Jamaica in the next few years."
The teams' head-to-head record over the years is fairly even, and both sides have potential match-winners in their ranks.
The Sharks should stick with the same side that beat Fife, including former Parramatta Eel Mark Barnes, but the Storm have danger men of their own.
Their main threat is union convert Louis Neethling, last season's top try scorer with 19 touchdowns.
Not bad for someone who came to the game less than a year ago - oh yes, and he's a prop, too.
Whilst the preliminary round was a bit of an adventure, Whitehead admits being in the first round makes things a bit different.
"Last time it was a step into the unknown, but this time there's more expectation, especially as it's a derby. There's been more focus in training," he says.
"The fact it's the Challenge Cup is a bonus. As for the next round, who knows - we might end up playing against people we're used to watching."
And who's to say that won't happen for whichever team reaches round two.
No-one could have predicted Don Fox would miss THAT kick.
No-one could have predicted Sheffield would beat Wigan. But he did, and they did.
No-one could have predicted a London derby in the Challenge Cup, but on Saturday there will be one.
But whatever route the Road to Cardiff takes, BBC Sport will be there every step of the way.
South London Storm play West London Sharks on Saturday (12.45 GMT) at New River Stadium, Wood Green, Tottenham

New Zealand 54 (Van Dyk 28, Tutaia 26) d Australia 52 (Cox 27,Bassett 15, Medhurst 8, Bell 2) at Hisense Arena.
Thursday Auckland Sunday Christchurch
AUSTRALIA will need to improve by at least 10 per cent to retain its hold on the Constellation Cup, according to coach Lisa Alexander, who admitted she may have erred in delaying the introduction of Caitlin Bassett to yesterday's wasteful 54-52 first Test loss against New Zealand at Hisense Arena.
The 192-centimetre impact shooter, the second-half saviour of last year's world championship final, scored 15 goals from 17 attempts after replacing Catherine Cox when Australia trailed by five goals at three-quarter-time.
The conundrum was that Cox, in her 99th Test, had been Australia's best player to that point. Still, in the end, the decisive statistic was that Australia failed to capitalise on eight more scoring chances.
''It's a fine line, I said to all the shooters after the game - we just have to get better in that area,'' said Alexander, whose four shooters converted at 79 per cent to the Silver Ferns' 93 per cent, MVP Maria Tutaia nailing 26 from 29 and ageless 40-year-old phenomenon Irene van Dyk 28 from 29. Neither missed in the last quarter.
New Zealand had been prepared for the substitution of Bassett for Cox at the main break, but Alexander said she was pleased with the veteran's first two quarters. ''I thought Cath was really anchoring us well, and deserved to stay on court at that stage, but yeah, possibly in hindsight a half-time change would have been the way to go.''
Rival captain Casey Williams was a late withdrawal with knee soreness but, even in her absence, the Diamonds failed to build on a solid start, trailing from late in the first quarter until the end of the match, and by as much as six in the third term.
Ten players were tried in various combinations, and Laura Geitz had an experimental run at goal defence, but a lack of full-court pressure could not force enough errors to disrupt the attacking supply.
''I think they were extraordinarily patient with the ball and frustrated us,'' Alexander said. ''We just could not turn over ball and it's a credit to them, they 'out-Australianised' us, if you like to say the word. So very good patient play. They weren't unsettled by Casey not being in the line-up. They've got great defenders across the board, and I think they did a great job.''
Australia, clearly, will need to do better, everywhere, and must now win both the remaining matches in the series - in Auckland on Thursday and Christchurch on Sunday - to retain the trans-Tasman Constellation Cup.
Reliable goaler Susan Pratley is likely to come into the 12, and Bassett may start, Cox's imminent 100-Test milestone notwithstanding. ''It could be the next Test. We will see how the training form goes, but I don't have any qualms in starting Caitlin,'' Alexander said. ''I think she's a gun shooter and she's shown that she can play four quarters consistently and do it well for West Coast Fever, and she's just getting better at every outing that she has.''
More than half the 107 matches in the trans-Tasman rivalry have now been decided by five goals or fewer, but if yesterday's was not among the most dramatic, it was typically intense, and Alexander insisted there was life in the contest yet.
''Absolutely. We know that it doesn't matter where we play, it's the same-sized court. It is a different crowd, but if we're really focused on what we need to do, we can get two wins away from home,'' she said.
New Zealand coach Wai Taumaunu said Williams' withdrawal was a precautionary measure, but the injury-plagued leader was no certainty to return on Thursday.
''Hopefully, but we're going to monitor it and I'll probably continue to be conservative about it,'' said Taumaunu, admitting she was happy but not completely satisfied the Ferns' second win over Australia from their past five matches.
''I think there's quite a bit of room for improvement. Our centre pass work I was really pleased with; that's what we focused on. I thought our error rate on our through-court was probably a bit higher than I would have liked.''

Coming to theaters this December (2012) is the hit Broadway musical and book, Les Misérables. Unlike other versions of the film, where the songs are sung in a studio and then later on the actors make the motions that they are singing, the songs in this film are sung LIVE as the movie is being filmed. I can't see how it's even possible, but that is exactly how they are doing it in this film. I'm excited to see how it all works out.
Les Misérables stars Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russle Crowe and Amanda Seyfried. Here is the movie's synopsis in case you are not familiar from the story.
Les Misérables is the motion-picture adaptation of the beloved global stage sensation seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and in 21 languages around the globe and still breaking box-office records everywhere in the 27th year. Helmedby The Kinds Speech's Academy Award-winning director, Tom Hooper, the Working Title/Cameron Mackintosh production stars Hugh Jackman, Oscar winner Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks, with Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.
Set against the backdrop of 19 century France, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption—a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe) after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine's (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.
In December 2012, the world's longest-running musical brings its power to the big screen in Tom Hooper's sweeping and spectacular interpretation of Victor Hugo's epic tale. With international superstars and beloved songs—including "I Dreamed a Dream," "Bring Him Home," "One Day More" and "On My Own"—Les Misérables, the show of shows, is now reborn as the cinematic musical experience of a lifetime.
Les Misérables stars Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks, with Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.
Check out this interesting behind the scenes look at the film and hear from the talent and those involved with the film how unique filming songs sung live can be.
If you are reading this post via e-mail you can find the clip here, http://bit.ly/PjG1uf.
I find it very fascinating. I wasn't a big fan of the book, and I've never seen the story on Broadway, but I must say that I am very interested in seeing this when it's out in theaters.
Here are some really cool movie posters featuring some of the main characters from the film. I love how they were photographed. The photos actually stir up emotions. You can tell it's going to be a "dark" and sad movie, but one where there is love and hope.
For more information about the film visit the official website. You can also "like" Les Mis on Facebook and follow on Twitter (@LesMiserables). The hashtag to follow the conversation is #LesMis. You can even follow Les Mis on Pinterest!
What do you think about this version of the film? Do you think this is something you would go and see when it's available in theaters? Feel free to leave a comment. I always love to hear from my readers.
