im not defending apple but they are not the only company that uses foxconn but i guess if your going to stop this you gotta start somewhere. I doubt apple will bring jobs back here to the states they could move production to india or philippines or some part of south america maybe even mexico.

But Apple is the only company that I know of which pursues such massive margins on their phones while forcing Foxconn to cut their margins to the bone.

Actually if I'm not mistaken, the Xbox 360 is made by Foxconn too. Let's go beat down Microsoft as well. J/K
I'm so tired of these hippies protesting. If they'd work we wouldn't have to outsource.

--"Because, users may want an "ethical iPhone", but they still don't want to have to pay too much for it."
Ya, they have no problem with paying $300, in fact they'll line up and spend the night in a sleeping bag outside a store to do it...but they draw the line at $350.

I don't understand, why did apple go to Asia to manufacture. Obviously the higher demand is here in the North American and Europe. Why would they go to Asia where they would have to pay more money for shipping. Or are they there just to take advantage of does poor asian workers. Someone please explain?
4. atheisticemetic (Posts: 377; Member since: 18 Dec 2011)
that is correct Carl. The labor involved is much cheaper over there. So even tho the demand for the product is here, it's still cheaper to use that kind of labor and ship it to the States.

because instead of paying american factory workers 10+ an hour, they can pay Chinese slave labor at about a buck an hour. they just got a raise to like 1.50 in shenzen, though the people that work at the ipad lab in inner china still make less than a buck an hour. Chinese slave labor also doesnt get much for employee benefits, and china has a much lower corporate tax rate. America has the highest to 2nd highest (depending on the year) tax rate in the world. Companies like Apple save billions a year in taxes and labor costs.. well more than what it costs to ship the products back.
Every time you vote for a new corporate tax, your not only voting to send more jobs over seas, you are also voting to raise YOUR taxes, as corporations do not actually pay taxes. they filter the taxes they owe into the cost of the product so that YOU actually pay the taxes for them. They just filter it from you to the government.

........are....are you f'ing serious? You do know pretty much every major american company outsources because it's phenomenally cheaper to produce overseas, right? It's a crappy practice, but they all do it.
9. jmoita2 (Posts: 930; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
Then we should impose huge tariffs,therefore making it cost prohibitive to manufacture overseas then reimport such products to the US for sale. if you want to rip the benefits of selling it here at astronomical prices,the least we as a nation can ask you to do is to employ those same consumers as workers.
11. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
yes, lets get even more punative!! its the high costs that drove them overseas.. so lets bring them back with... MORE HIGH COSTS.
yea, sorry that doesnt work. if you want to bring the business back, you have to entice them by LOWERING the cost of doing business in america, not raising it.
They left to get away from american taxes.. charging them more american taxes isnt going to solve the problem.
17. jmoita2 (Posts: 930; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
Oh,yeah,you are so right...not. So, the poor corporations are shipping all their manufacturing overseas because they pay too much taxes...Poor them. Turn off Fox News,while there is still hope.
19. atheisticemetic (Posts: 377; Member since: 18 Dec 2011)
again with fox news....always a sure sign of a cop out.
just as long as you dont watch the daily show and call that news i wont make fun of you for copping out with the fox news comment jmoita
they need to bring business here regardless of how someone feels about the taxes. We need jobs in america plain and simple...i think we can agree on that?
21. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
sure sign of someone that has no idea about what they are talking about.. make a fox news crack.
here's some pot and a tyedye obama poster. go have a good time.
27. biophone (Posts: 1994; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
Remixfa I couldn't agree more.
32. parkwaydr (Posts: 572; Member since: 07 Sep 2011)
Remix, your dead wrong my friend.....corporations do not go over seas because of taxes, they go because then they do not have to follow Americas strict labor laws, I.e overtime pay working conditions ( osha) ect ect....they use taxes as a scapegoat. An example is the suicides at foxconn, had that been an American plant and American workers osha would have been up apples a** in a heartbeat, but hey since it was in China no one made a big deal about it......and by the way its a proven fact that people who watch fox news are the most unneducated when it comes to current world events.......but hey what can you say for a company who's only goal is to bash democrats
33. biophone (Posts: 1994; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
Read all his posts before replying
34. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
its not even worth replying to that brainwashed nonsense. He didnt read anything I wrote and obviously hasnt done any actual research other than what happens on the Daily Show.
thanks for gettin my back though, bio. :)
38. parkwaydr (Posts: 572; Member since: 07 Sep 2011)
What scared are you? By the way I'm a born and raised rebuplican who has never watched the daily show in his life.............I think your afriad of replying because your afraid your wrong, and if you dont believe me about the fox news thing heres a link
If you still dont believe me, there is more info on the study that was taken, just google it
by the way, I no longer respect your opinion on any topic seeing as you chose to insult me and hide from my comment
grow up
41. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
ok, just to stop you there...
you are using THE HUFFINGTON POST, one of the most notoriously open socialist slanted sites as proof of concept against fox news. lol
Im not hiding from anything park, my views on these subjects have been well documented on these boards. I've entertained this conversation a dozen or so times, each with tons and tons and tons of info, statistics, and laws to back me up.
I'm not looking for your respect, but your obviously looking for mine. BTW, I also watch the Daily Show as well as fox... oh and msnbc, bbc, reuters, and all the rest.. on top of looking for actual statistics and laws on the matter. its called informed opinion. If you want to see my views on the subject, you can simply search the site. I've written pages and pages on it.
43. parkwaydr (Posts: 572; Member since: 07 Sep 2011)
Your still avoiding the point Remix, I copied the first link that popped up on a Google search, like I said there are plenty of other sites........
And one other thing, if you do watch the daily show then why insult others for doing so? That is like gallito insulting someone for using an iphone. And as far as the respect issue, its common deciency, obviously bio has respect for you because he defended you, when I maid my post you chose to insult me when I did nothing of the sort to you
51. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
because I dont watch it as news like so many people do. I also like to watch both sides of issues. I am neither democrat or republican. Again, its called being fully informed.
It was insulting what you came at me with. It was insulting because it shows that you were responding without actually reading anything I have written. Blind attacking is something of a joke around here.
54. parkwaydr (Posts: 572; Member since: 07 Sep 2011)
Ok I will admit I did not read your first comment before I posted.....just you second
Although, I still think its hypocritical of you to watch the daily but insult others that do, even if they do tend to consider it a valid news source,like I said that is would be like gallito insult some one for using an iPhone, I personaly do not watch fox, they are to extreme right wing for me, don't get me wrong, but I would rather watch actual news instead of people just sitting their and bashing Obama but seriously you should look into this study they did just google "fox viewers less informed" and it should all be right there for you
58. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
just to throw a wrench in the gallito analogy... for the longest time that chicken head was using only android products all the while touting iOS and hating on android. he just recently got an iPhone. lol
there was another study that showed fox viewers were more informed on current American events and were more likely to understand economics. you can word a studybto show anything.
62. parkwaydr (Posts: 572; Member since: 07 Sep 2011)
Wow really, he used Android but bashed it, I would of guessed he would have prefered death before touching an Android based on his comments
As for the study issue I would have to agree with you, that's been one of my main gripes with media outlets, you never know if your getting truth or a spin
49. bayusuputra (Posts: 963; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
they outsource because:
- cheaper labour cost
- more labour forces
- less tax
- less strict labour laws
- shipping fees that goes lower over the time
- easier to bribe officials (esp if you are big player in the industry)
and i don't think it stops there.
so actually we can't single it out to tax, or shipping cost, or the laws.. all of these are the determining factors whether or not a company should outsource or not..
57. cellgeek82 (Posts: 518; Member since: 20 Dec 2009)
Remember remixfa, liberals are willingly ignorant. You can't teach them anything. They're a misinformed mob and hellbent on staying that way. The mob is attacking Apple now mainly because it's the loudest subject right now.
When something else gets under their skin they'll leave Apple alone. I bet they even organized their protest on Apple products, even using Find My Friends to gather at the same place and used Siri to research protesting.
39. cellphonator (Posts: 298; Member since: 29 Oct 2011)
You're my hero remixfa!
Let's keep taxing those rich bad corporations so the poor people pay less taxes right? This makes sense only if you're a total ignorant.
Everybody is leaving, even companies that have been manufacturing here forever and nobody gets it!
Pretty soon we'll be asking Foxconn to open something here so desperate we will be.
7. jmoita2 (Posts: 930; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
Because they want to milk every single possible penny as profit. And yes,if they could have people in chains building them for free,they would. they couldnt care less about the american worker,or any other worker for that matter. All that matters in the end is profit.
22. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
you do realize that a company only exists to be profitable right? Unless you take a tax exempt status as a non-profit company, you exist to make money. Im sure you dont mind if workers get paid right? how about investors? shouldnt they get paid? how about the guy that starts the company?
oh, yea, i bet u think that they should be forced to give all their money to the government, so they can give it to you.. so u can sit on your butt and get high.
60. ricking (Posts: 59; Member since: 10 Nov 2010)
are u serious, its about profit margin!!! they pay those people s**t!!!

Some of the anger at Congress is deserved. The Democrats have been unable to move much of the agenda they talked about so earnestly in last year's campaign. Their rhetoric on the still disastrous war in Iraq has failed to produce much more than rhetoric.
However, much of the blame for the inaction belongs to the Republican minority. In both houses, gop members seem to be working overtime to be obstructionists. They are halting progress on immigration, energy and, more important, the non-ending war. Rep. Louise Slaughter, Democrat of New York, had it about right. She said Republicans ought to "grow up."
The gop members, while nervous about the consequences of war to their own skins next year, still fall back on name calling. Democrats are called defeatists, quitters, or appeasers who are willing to deny the troops. People shouldn't buy it. Ever since Saddam Hussein was toppled, nearly every administration move has been wrong. Stay the course, send more troops into a sectarian war, and flail the Democrats is the course of action.
As for immigration, conservative Republicans are the obstacles. The Democrats are carrying the water for Bush. Right wingers in the Senate will never be satisfied. They want more enforcement and even punishment. They seem to be vying with commentator Lou Dobbs of CNN, who wants to stir up more rancor than reason. On energy policy, Republicans want to make sure the oil and gas interests are protected. They usually get most of their money for campaigns.
The bottom line here is that voters, while frustrated with the Democrats, ought to think it through. Republicans are eager to stymie action. Moreover, Congress speaks with 535 voices of both parties. The White House speaks with one voice and a much larger platform. And it has been wrong on just about everything.

Join Chris Orwig for an in-depth discussion in this video Adjusting color and tone in a sunset portrait, part of Photoshop CS4 for Photographers: Creative Color.
Have you ever had the experience where you are out taking pictures and the light is just so beautiful, and the colors are just so amazing. You can't wait to then get back and open up the photograph, and then when you open it up, the colors just aren't as good as they were when you were there. Just somehow didn't capture what you saw. That's the case with this particular photograph. Now, I love the composition of this. I love that it's shot right in the sunset, I love that it's a photo of my wife and my daughter Sophia there. Yet, the colors aren't good enough for me. How can we make these colors really come to life, how can we add a little bit of contrast? Well, that's what we are going to talk about in this movie. We are going to talk about how we can do that by using adjustment layers as well as a particular blend mode. This particular mode will really help us out with contrast and color. Then we will wrap this movie up by adding a little bit of tone to the photograph.
All right. Well, for starters what we are going to do is we are going to click on the Adjustment Layer icon for Color Balance. That will then create a Color Balance adjustment layer. Then we want to take this layer to a blend mode of Soft Light. So I will double-click the Adjustments tab to close that panel for a moment, so I can really focus-in on this layer. Now, I could of course choose from the pulldown menu, Soft Light. Yet, I want to be even faster. So in order to quickly select this blend mode of Soft Light, I need to make sure I have the Move tool selected. I do. Next step, on a Mac, Shift+Option+F, on a PC, Shift+Alt+F. Once again on a Mac, Shift+Option+F, on a PC, Shift+Alt+F. Definitely one of the shortcuts that's worth learning. All right, well now that I have that blend mode, let's go ahead and double-click Adjustments to open that up, and we want to add quite a bit of red here.
So we are not only adding some contrast, but we are adding these really nice warm tones. Here is our before and then after. Already so much better. This is much closer to my experience. This is much closer to how I saw this particular image in my mind. All right. Well, the next step is going to be to go back to our Adjustments panel and we are going to choose Hue/ Saturation. Then we are going to choose the option Colorize. Now, this Colorize option is actually pretty interesting, and it's going to become even more interesting when we change this to a blend mode of Soft Light. Do you remember the shortcut? Shift+Option+F on a Mac, Shift+Alt+F on a PC. Now, we want to just find the exact amount of red there and the saturation. Double-click the Adjustments tab, so that we could look at our before and then after. That just looks so much better. Again, it brings out these nice, deep, rich, tones.
Let's take a look at our overall before and after. Here is before, interesting image, here is after, so much more definition, so much more color, so much more visual intrigue. All right, well to finish this image off, I am going to zoom out, Command+Minus on a Mac, Ctrl+Minus on a PC. Next thing I am going to do is click on the Adjustment Layer icon and choose Curves. Now, here I am going to go ahead and darken this up. So I am going to click and drag this down. Now that I have that down, I will navigate to my Masks panel and click Invert. That will then mask away all that darkening effect. I will grab the Brush tool by pressing the B key, and make my brush small by pressing the Left Bracket key, Right Bracket makes it bigger, Left Bracket makes it smaller, or of course you can always choose a brush from here. We have no hardness, relatively small size brush there, great.
We are going to now paint with white. What I am looking to do is just to bring in a little bit of detail back up in here, and on the beach, just a touch. And I am going to lower my opacity somewhere right about 30%, just a little bit of darkening around here, just to connect those areas, just a touch. Now, let's look at our before and after. Here is before and then after, redirecting how the eye is looking at this photograph. We will zoom in a little bit, so you can see that. Here is our before and after. Now finally, to evaluate this photograph, we will press F to go to Full Screen View mode. Then we will press the F7 key to bring back our Layers palette.
Now, when you have all of your layers visible, if you hold down the Option key on a Mac, and Alt key on a PC, and click on the Eye icon, you can then just show that layer. So here is our before and after. Once again, before and then adding a little bit of color and tone, little bit more color and tone and then finally working on some of the brighter tones. At this juncture, we have really created some visually interesting and stunning color and tone. Just think it didn't take us a lot of time, yet the photograph is so much better.
- Bringing photos to life with curves and color balance
- Using subtle color to create impact
- Showing the effects of vibrance and hue
- Creating distinction with color, black-and-white, and sepia tones
- Adding imagination and personality to images
- Using color and blending modes to add style to photos

America's Catholic bishops are planning how to strategically engage in the politically-charged issues of gay marriage, and access to abortion and contraception during their annual fall meeting.
A portion of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops' three-day meeting starting Nov. 14 in Baltimore will be used to strategize their already-tense relationship with the Obama administration and the public. Maryland was one of the first states to protect religious freedom.
New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan recently warned President Obama that his decision to not defend a federal ban on gay marriage could "precipitate a national conflict between church and state of enormous proportions," the Religion News Service reported.
GlobalPost: One pastor is fighting for gay rights in Michigan
Leading members of American bishops shared similar concerns to Vatican officials this week amid unease among leaders of the the Catholic community that religious freedoms are being eroded. Just this past week, Maryland's Roman Catholic bishops sent a 16-page statement to parishes throughout the state, saying legalizing same-sex marriage is threatening religious liberty.
"Religious liberty – a right rooted in our human dignity and protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution – is being silently and subtly eroded," the report said.
A new religious freedom panel along with two full-time staffers, have been employed to spearhead the issues. RNS reported why the hierarchy's "internal political dynamics" have led to the decision to focus on the narrow topics of same-sex marriage, abortion and contraceptives:
"For one thing, the bishops badly want to move beyond the sexual abuse crisis that has sapped their energies and credibility over the past decade...Moreover, the bishops are too divided to produce landmark documents on war and the economy as they did in the 1980s, insiders say. Opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion are simple, black-and-white issues that all the bishops can get behind."
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops have been vocal before about their stances on homosexuality and same-sex marriage. Daniel Avila resigned from his job with the association earlier this month when he wrote in a newspaper column suggesting the devil may be responsible for homosexuality, sparking condemnation from gay rights groups.
GlobalPost Special Report: The Rainbow Struggle: A Global Battle Over Gay Rights
Critics may question the bishops' focus on same-sex marriage at the meeting considering the string of sex abuse scandals that have shattered the institution's credibility.
Bishops will not discuss the recent indictment of Bishop Robert Finn for failing to report a priest suspected of child abuse to police.
The bishop of Kansas City, Mo., had admitted in May that he waited five months to tell authorities about the hundreds of images of alleged child pornography found on the Rev. Shawn Ratigan's computer – some personally taken by Ratigan.

Everyone who has visited cozy places of Crimean coast at least once will always find what to tell about its beauty, to share his impressions of what he has seen there. But special impressions that are not easy to relate belong to those travelers who succeeded to visit marvelous Crimean palaces. You can simply be jealous of them!.. Large parks with rich flora, gigantic and wonderful in their form towers, storing toil of many people, all these are just a small part of those unforgettable and impressive moments, kept in memory of people who had a chance to walk through the luxurious halls of these castles…
Crimean castles are filled with particular beauty and elegance that's why they have been attracting more and more visitors for a number of years. One of such proud and majestic wonders of Crimean coast is the Vorontsovsky palace in Alupka (it is sometimes called Alupka Palace). It is situated in the heart of this small town among a rave of greens and mountains, having become an integral part of local landscape. You will ask why exactly landscape? Looking at the majestic towers and walls of the Vorontsovsky Palace, a lot of people say that silhouette of the building has some unexplainable but distinctive resemblance to the contour of the Crimean Mountains on its background.
The Vorontsov Palace was aimed for a rather famous and honorable person – Count Mikhail Semyonovich Vorontsov, governor- general of Novorossiysk Territory at that time. The palace was supposed to serve as a summer residence for the Count who made a considerable contribution to the development of many branches, such as winemaking, winegrowing, tobacco growing and many others, by these means ensuring his financial prosperity. Count Vorontsov bought lands and arranged them up to his taste.
Construction of Alupkinskiy palace had lasted for 20 years – since 1828 till 1848. Several famous architects worked on the project. An Odessa architect Franchecsko Boffo and an English architect Тomas Harrison suggested their project, the palace should have been designed in classical style. Construction works under this initial project started in 1829. In two years all the preparation works were finished, the foundation was constructed, and the first bond of bridge exedra in the central building was laid. In 1831 Count Vorontsov left for England. Here, influenced by local architecture, new styles of European art of building, he decided to stop construction of his own palace and readjust the project.
Since 1832 palace building has been continued under the guidance of a new architect from England, Eduard Blore. Due to his project, architecture of the Vorontsovsky palace combines elements of Moorish style, romantic medieval castles, luxury of English mansions and castles of India.
The castle was a part of the Vorontsovs property till 1917. After Soviet Government came to power in Crimea, the palace was nationalized. In 1921 on the order of V.I.Lenin the Vorontsovky Palace got the status of a nаtional museum, where exhibits from other nationalized manors –of Yusupovs, Romanovs, Stroganovs were brought. In occupation period of World War the 2nd, 537 the most valuable exhibits were taken from the palace, which have never been returned to their original abode. It's a miracle that the building itself survived. In 1945, when Yalta Conference was held by three allied states (the USA, the USSR and Great Britain), the English delegation headed by Winston Churchill was located in the Vorontsovky Palace. Since 1956 till nowadays the museum doors of the Vorontsovky Palace are open for visitors.
Now the Palace has got a status of the Alupka Palace-Park museum-reserve. Nowadays, central, library, dining and living buildings in eight central halls of the first floor are open for public attendance; they are harmoniously united in one complex.
Central Study of M.Vorontsov is decorated with portrait paintings and sophisticated articles of interior of the first half of the XIX century. The Chinese room is the next, where walls are decorated with paddy straw and embroidery with beads and silk. Paintings on the walls of this room amaze every visitor with its unique mastery; you just don't have enough time to have a look at each of them. Looking at the ceiling in the Chinese room, you get an impression that it is designed of fine-cut wooden panels, but in reality it is simply painted with ordinary oil paint! The next is the Calico room, where works by N.G.Chernetsov and S.F.Schedrin are represented. There is a large Billiard room in the palace, which is mostly used as a wonderful picture gallery, where works of famous representatives of European Renaissance architecture are collected. Wooden finishing of
Palace entrance hall is accomplished with a portrait exposition of royal fаmily and the Vorontsovs. The room of a unique beauty adjoins the lobby, it's so called Palace Pearl, which is the Blue drawing-room. It is completely covered with hand-made gypsum paintings. White floral stucco interwine on the blue walls of the room, skillfully emphasizing luxurious white with gold furniture designed in Empire style. Amazing Winter Garden is located next to the Blue drawing-room. There are marble portraits of former owners of this palace and simply statues cozily situated among unique tropical greens («Bathing Aphrodite», «Аpolon Belvederskiy», «Мuse of Astronomy Urania», «Girl» and others). One more interesting room is a huge Great hall, having 150 sq.m. in size. Walls and ceiling of the room are decorated with various finishing. The Great hall's peculiarity is a white-blue fountain and luxurious furniture made by French and English craftsmen.
And so further, walking through the palace corridors and entering each room, you make sure that each following room is no way interior to the previous ones. Exposition of the Vorontsovsky museum includes more than 11 thousand of exhibits: furniture, paintings, engravings, lots of interior items, designed in various styles and epochs.
The Vorontsovky palace is located in parallel to the line of mountain landscape of Ai-Petri. It is fully formed from diabase which is fine-graded volcanic mountain rock of green-black and grey colour.
Palace image impresses with its might and majesty. Construction of each building and each tower of the palace represents architectural trends of different epochs. Central entrance to the castle is located to the west, which differs with its blank walls and circular towers, narrow windows, as well as small and stern medieval entrance with Tudor arch and laced bridge. They make the palace look like a manor house of VIII-XI cc.
Northern face of the palace keeps architectural elements of late English Gothic style: high classical towers, pointed bay-windows facing I-Petri.
Southern side of the Vorontsovsky palace faces the Black sea and is designed with rich oriental magnificence. There is the Lions' Terrace constructed in front of the southern face, from which a monumental staircase descends to the park. The terrace is decorated and guarded by three pairs of lions, one pair is sleeping, another one is waking up and the third pair is awake. A huge dome over the terrace is completed with repeated six times Arabic inscription «There is no God but Allah».
The Southern part of the Vorontsovsky palace is covered with the park of nobles. Huge park, several hectares in size being the warmest part of Crimea's Southern coast, it had been created for 50 years by a talented German gardener. Running-water Lake with transparent crystal clear water and royal white swans is called the Pearl of the Vorontsovky Park. Here, in any season you can see charming greens of subtropical vegetation, accomplished with the beauty of mountain springs, fairy waterfalls, and small lakes. The Vorontsovsky park is a distinguishing masterpiece of landscape art.
It does't matter how many times you have visited the Vorontsovsky Palace, every time its mysterious and majestic architecture, fabulous beauty of the park will open new things, secrets, that make you closer to the interesting history and unequalled architectural art. It is rather difficult to describe all the beauty and values of the Vorontsovsky palace, you need to see it youself!

I was wondering if its possible to configure, or perhaps have included in a new release. The ability to set printer supply level alerts to 1 or even 0%. We use Ricoh's automated toner replenishment system and as such don't need to know when toners are low. Only when they need to be replaced.
Additionally an option to alert based on "estimated" toner expiry in Today,1,2,5 days could be helpful instead to expand upon the new toner features of spiceworks.

No problem, and I spiced it up.

Currently I think the only alert is for less than 10%.
I am also currently seeking a way to get the toner widget to show the HP maintenance kit percentage (currently reported right next to toner on the web front gui of the printer).
You could submit a feature request.
Good luck!
Jul 25, 2011 at 8:38 UTC
Currently we have it set to 2% which is alright. Annoying, but alright. We receive notifications as early as a week ahead of when a toner needs to be replaced.
Thanks for the tip there Jay, Ive gone and submitted it :)
Good luck on your maintenance kit!

Mardi Gras Knowledge: Mardi Gras Indians
MediaNOLA is a project of Tulane University and has received sponsorship from the Tulane School of Liberal Arts, the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South, Tulane Center for Public Service, Kentucky-Louisiana Learn and Serve, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Mardi Gras Indians, sometimes referred to simply as "Injuns" by New Orleanians, have played an integral role in shaping the city's parade and music culture. After an entire year of practicing the ritualized movements for each of the society's positions and sewing elaborate suits, African American members of these New Orleans Tribes step out on Mardi Gras day, displaying their handiwork and demonstrating pride in their organization. Although Mardi Gras Indians have gained recognition throughout the country with documentaries and television shows like Treme, many people are confused as to how and why exactly the practice came to be. But like the history of New Orleans, the history of Mardi Gras Indians tells a story of multiple identities and various explanations of existence.
Let's start with the Origins:
Several narratives about the birth of the Mardi Gras Indian tradition stem from the relationship between African Americans and Native Americans in New Orleans. Some Louisiana Native American tribes, including the Chickasaws, harbored African slaves who ran away from captivity. For this reason, some believe that Mardi Gras Indians started as a tribute to the race that provided them shelter. Furthermore, slaves and Native Americans lived close together within the city, as well: by 1890, the term "griffon," meaning "black Indian" had been adopted to describe people of both African and Native American descent, adding to the already complex New Orleans racial code. Bacate Batiste, founder of the Creole Wild West (the first Mardi Gras Indian Tribe), as well as Allison "Tootie" Montana, Chief of the Yellow Pocahontas tribe and Batiste's grand-nephew, claim to be part of this mixed African and Native American lineage. In turn, many people believe that the practice of masking as Native Americans is not only homage, but a demonstration of one's cultural heritage.
How about the connection to Native Americans:
While it is true that many Mardi Gras Indians today have some Native American ancestry, the link between these two groups does not fully explain this cultural phenomenon. With very rare exceptions, Mardi Gras Indian suits resemble those of the Plains Indians, not the Southeastern Indians with whom some claim a shared heritage. In fact, several scholars have made the connection between Mardi Gras Indians and the Wild West shows that travelled to New Orleans in the 1880s. According to Ned Sublette, Batiste's Creole Wild West took inspiration from these shows. However, as Sublette writes, "Becate Batiste's Creole Wild West wasn't the beginning of something from scratch… it was a way of giving form to something that was already going on."
The appropriation of Native American identity by African American was, and still is, an expression of something much more than symbolic gratitude or a celebration of ancestryit is a powerful statement about group recognition and strength. Like Native Americans, African slaves endured myriad hardships and almost lost their identity at the hands of white European settlers. As George Lipsitz explains, "the Indian image calls attention to the initial genocide upon which American 'civilization' rests. It challenges the core dualism of American racism that defines people as either white or black."
By dressing as Native Americans, African Americans demonstrate resistance against slavery and racial stereotypes; they exhibit pride, strength, and group solidarity, appropriating Native American ideas of Chief-based organization as their core. New Orleans, a city whose existence itself confronted the pervasive American black/white paradigm, was therefore the perfect environment for the Mardi Gras Indian tradition to flourish.
Violence Between Tribes
Originally, Mardi Gras Indian tribes were more like gangs than benevolent societies. Carrying hatchets and spears, various tribes would meet up to settle their "beefs" through violence. Now, however, the dueling tradition of the past is only symbolic. Lipsitz writes that once "urban renewal destroyed the basis for neighborhood competitions," these violent acts were transformed into "symbolic aesthetic competition." This transition from warfare to friendly rivalry highlights the importance Mardi Gras Indian tribes had in establishing a sense of unity within New Orleans's African American community and explains why they are still such a large facet of life in New Orleans today.
Dances and Songs
As the Indian tribes travel throughout New Orleans neighborhoods, they spin and pose in imitation of Native American war dances. This dancing is particularly critical to the mock battles the members engage in when two tribes encounter each other. The big chiefs spin around one another, flourishing their costumes, and engage in special chants and songs, with each demanding that the other "humba" or admit inferiority. The change from actual fighting to competitive showmanship is attributed to Big Chief "Tootie" Montana's influence. As told by his widow, Joyce Montana, "Tootie was the one who said 'We have to stop fighting with the guns. Now you fight with the suits.' Then they were competing to see who was prettiest, and Tootie was always the prettiest."
Mardi Gras Indians also utilize various chants and songs when masking that both continue the Indian image by mimicking Native American songs and war chants, and carry the functional purpose of conveying messages to one another. Many of the songs and chants contain a combination of various words either derived from Creole French terminology or loosely based on the numerous African dialects that the original New Orleans slaves brought with them. Of the Mardi Gras Indian songs, one of the best-known and most recognizable is known as either "Indian Red" or the "Indian Prayer" and is used to begin and end both practices and processions. This song also carries the significance of identifying the various members of the tribe and their positions.
Tribal Hierarchies:
The Mardi Gras Indian tribes feature a detailed social hierarchy that places various members in positions with specialized roles.
The highest position within the tribe is that of "Big Chief", who decides the routes that the tribe travels and is the primary participant in mock battles between other tribes. Typically this role is earned by members and the Big Chief is often the most elaborately dressed of all of the Indians. The procession also often includes Second Chiefs and Trail Chief. Each Chief has a ceremonial Queen, who is often a family member of the chief but is not necessarily his wife.
The procession is led a Spyboy, who travels several blocks ahead of the Big Chief and alerts him to any incoming tribes or issues along the route using specially chosen hand signals or yells.
The tribe's Flagboy, travels between the Big Chief and Spyboy and uses a ceremonial flag, usually adorned with large feathers and bearing the tribe's emblem to relay signals between the two.
Tribes also often feature a Wild Man, who is denoted by his ceremonial weapon and whose responsibilities include keeping crowds from the Big Chief and clearing space for the Chiefs to do battle when tribes encounter each other.
There's always more to learn when it comes to New Orleans, and this is just our bit about the Mardi Gras Indians. The best way to learn more, though, is to get out there to watch them do their thing.

Clinton Campaign Wants "Hillary For Prison" signs "Pulled Up"
Opposition candidates are crunching down on Hillary's campaign with references to Whitewater, The Clinton Foundation cash connections, Goldman Sach's dirty Wall Street games, and abuse-of-position illegal email server charges.
Nothing has hit home harder than the many versions of the "HILLARY FOR PRISON" campaign signs, that are popping up nationwide.
As fast as Clinton supporters can rip them out, new one's pop up.
It is far early for the usual campaign signage wars. "Usually" those don't start for a few months.
2016 is already proving, though, to be an unusual election cycle.
HILLARY FOR PRISON; HILLARY FOR PRISON-DENT, MONICA LEWINKSY'S BOYFRIEND'S WIFE FOR PRESIDENT; are all the rage in anti-Hillary regions. One can only wonder what the Hillary Team will hit back with?

By Tom Blackburn
As the possibility grows that Lucas Leiva is set to leave Liverpool after nearly a decade, supporters have taken to Twitter to profess their appreciation for the midfielder's loyalty.
Lucas joined Liverpool in 2007 from Gremio, at a time when Rafa Benitez was the manager at Anfield, and he has since become the Merseysiders' longest-serving player.
On Monday afternoon, Football Insider reported Besiktas' plans to sign the Brazilian and that he was open to the transfer.
Turkish newspaper Fanatik claim Besiktas have made contact with Liverpool about the 29-year-old just a week after he admitted he could leave the club this summer.
He started just eight times in the league after the turn of the year and he admitted he may find opportunities more limited as Klopp adds to his squad.
On Twitter, Liverpool fans largely took their hands off to the servant – with just one or two happy to see the back of a player who has been the point of blame on a number of occasions.
Here are a selection of the messages:
I'd be sad to see Lucas leave. Has been a good player for us for such a long time, shame injuries held him back. #LFC
— Brad (@KeeperKarius) July 4, 2016
Lucas looks set to leave #LFC in search of game time. Nothing but love for the man personally.
— Callum Wright (@Mr_CallumWright) July 4, 2016
Lucas to Besiktas looks like a goer. Always been a quiet Lucas advocate quite honestly. #LFC
— Ed Stockton (@Red_Ed88) July 4, 2016
Would be upset if we let Lucas go. He is a great locker room presence and loves Liverpool. Always played for the badge.
— Melwood Daily (@MelwoodDaily) July 4, 2016
@MelwoodDaily I believe he is th only current player who really bleeds for the badge ATM
— Alex Drumm (@adrummLFC) July 4, 2016
Lucas, Skrtel and Benteke all leaving, pinch me I'm dreaming.
— Rory Greenfield (@RoryGreenfield) July 4, 2016
@RoryGreenfield shame Lucas doesn't have the quality to match his passion. He'll be missed but not on the pitch.
— Matt Mack (@mattmack_7) July 4, 2016
In other Liverpool news, a France Euro 2016 star has headed to England for transfer talks.

2010 Hoboken Music Awards
Mark your calendars!
Hoboken Music Awards: Nov. 20th at Northern Soul
The Hoboken Music Awards were started in 2009 by Dave Entwistle.
Entwistle is the long-time host of the Peoples Open Mic, a weekly showcase for local artists in town. The concept of the awards was to honor those artists and the people who help promote the music scene in and around the Hoboken area. The inaugural event, held at the defunct Goldhawk (now The Turtle Club), was a huge success. This year's event, planned with the help of local writer Stephen Bailey, is happy to call Northern Soul (557 1st St.) it's home.
Throughout this past year, Northern Soul has really established itself as a lot more than just another neighborhood bar in Hoboken. It has embraced original live music in a way that has not been seen in a while. They've helped to fill the void left by many lost venues. Each week, the Peoples Open Mic and Live Music Thursdays have brought artists (including many of our nominees) to the ears and hearts of Hoboken.
This year's nominating process have been streamlined to give more support for artists who regularly play in Hoboken. The categories are:
- Outstanding Male Solo
- Outstanding Female Solo
- Outstanding Band
- Outstanding Scene Contributor
- Outstanding Album
- Outstanding EP
- and finally a Peoples Choice Award where the public gets to nominate whoever they want.
For more about the awards and to nominate someone for Peoples Choice, check out http://www.hobokenmusicawards.com
Here's a Northern Soul video I dug up from nearly two and a half years ago. Amazing how far technology has come in such a short time… maybe it's time to re-do my older stuff (i.e., "remixes!")

Oisin Renjyi
I'm Oisin Renjyi and at the start of my own story I am fourteen years old and a student at a fictionalized version of [Greenup County High]. I am a fresh person though I take second year mathematics and biology instead of general science. I am also in French 2, though we have to learn that over computer, because our school doesn't have a French teacher yet.
I like to build things and figure out how things work. I don't want to be a mechanic though. I really want to understand things. I took a career interest test in seventh grade and it said I should be an engineer. An engineer has to go to college.
I want to go to university. It would be nice to be in with other smart people who are curious about the world instead of the kind who spend all their time thinking about dumb stuff. You know what I mean by dumb stuff, girls, drinking, clothes. I mean clothes you buy at the store and some look better than others, but you can only wear one outfit at a time, and girls are there. People come in two sexes right. Girls are very smart in English and social studies. You have to watch them. As for drinking, that's like smoking. Do I have to say more?
I live with my father, my stepmother whom I call Aunt Aliza, and my little brother Stasch who has ADHD and is in the first grade. We have an apartment over my dad's print shop. My dad started a printing business here. It's called R & O Printing and All Color Sign. We have a three bedroom apartment with a finished attic for a guest room. I painted my room this summer and it has different color squares on the walls like a collage or plaid, but uneven and free form. I got books on doing fancy paint jobs. Poor Aunt Aliza couldn't take it.
I sometimes thinks adults get dumber as they get older. I hope that doesn't happen to me. Maybe it doesn't happen to everybody. Anyway, here is my story. It's not easy being a freshman in high school. I am small and not in to sports or dumb things and the big brutes with excrement for brains rule the world. Well, some day they may have to work for me. At least I hope that's the way it turns out or maybe some day they'll have to pay royalties on some great invention of mine. That will really be sweet.
Here is where my story begins.
This is the the essay that got me in to honors English
More to come...

Championship: Stephen Hunt admits he would 'love to' stay at Ipswich
Stephen Hunt admits he would "love to" stay at Ipswich beyond January as he looks to earn an extended deal.
Last Updated: 21/11/13 11:49am
The 32-year-old midfielder penned a short-term pay-as-you-play contract with Town last Friday and duly made his debut as a second-half substitute in the dramatic 3-2 victory at Blackpool.
Hunt, who had been without a club following his departure from Wolves in the summer, had been training with Ipswich since September, reuniting with Town boss Mick McCarthy and assistant Terry Connor having worked under the pair during their time at Molineux.
And he insists he would jump at the opportunity to stay with the Suffolk outfit longer than his current deal until January.
"I'm delighted to be here. This is a great football club and I want to do well for the lads here and the gaffer," Hunt told the club's official website.
"I'm enjoying my work and if you enjoy your work then hopefully that shows through on a Saturday.
"Hopefully I can stay here beyond January, I'd love to. The proof will be in the pudding, though. In six weeks you might be saying 'thank God we got rid of him'.
"I know what the gaffer is all about having worked with him before. If I train well and play well I'll be in the team and if I don't then I won't. It's as simple as that."

Hints For Editing Design
What you can add to the boxes:
- Texts
- Images
I advice you should add about 180x180 px images to the right and left boxes. Bigger images break down your layout's view!
You can add image to the boxes after editing the following code.
<img height="180" width="180" alt="" src="http://IMAGE-URL"/>
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript Codes
Sure, you can add many codes in the boxes. I advice before adding you should check the code whether it works or not. You should not add every code to the design boxes, don't forget the codes may break down your layout view.

No-Cook Lasagna
Recipe by luvinlif2k
No pre-cooking needed but your guests will never know! My adjustments to this recipe add more sauce and more cheese since I always seemed to run short when assembling this dish. This is a tried and true winner on Bridge night. For the best flavor I recommend Prego sauce flavored with Italian sausage - or brown some Italian sausage along with the ground beef for the sauce.

Marijuana infused suppository could ease painful period cramps
It's a scenario many of women are familiar with – being huddled over in pain when that time of the month arrives. But now a revolutionary new treatment boasts that it is able to help ease period pain – by using a vaginal suppository infused with cannabis.
However, while the drug is used by some for psychotropic effects, the suppository delivers pain relief without giving the same hallucinogenic properties.
Menstrual cramps are caused by the uterus contracting during the period. These contractions are caused by prostaglandins, and the more of these you have the more painful your cramps will be, according to the Mayo Clinic.
In severe cases, the blood vessels leading to the uterus are constricted by the contractions, which triggers even more pain by preventing blood from reaching the womb.
While experts have long searched for a remedy for period pains, the new Foria Relief capsules have so far had some good reviews.
The capsules, which are shaped like tampons, come in packs of four and cost $44. They contain 60mg of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the contributing ingredient to marijuana's effects on the brain, which the manufacturers say helps to block the pain.
It also contains 10mg of cannabidiol, also in marijuana, which is said to reduce inflammation, as well as cocoa butter.
"Through the use of a suppository these antispasmodic and pain relieving properties go directly to the area in need of relief," a statement on the Foria website reads.
"The plant medicine works with your body to gently, yet profoundly, shift your unique experience in a holistic and natural way."
Despite the initial success of the product, it has yet to be evaluated or accredited by the US Food and Drug Administration.
"Our intention is to share the powerful medicinal properties of this plant while utilising modern extraction techniques to standardise purity and potency, thereby ensuring a safe and accessible experience for all women," the statement continues.
While it has had positive reviews by many, medical experts have warned against using any drugs not approved by the FDA.
"This capsule has not even been studied yet," Dr Helen Webberley, of the Oxford Online Pharmacy, told the Huffington Post. "The assumption is that, as cannabis can cause muscle relaxation, it may help to ease period pains.
"I would be very worried about women using this product before it has been fully evaluated."

Indians activate outfielder Michael Bourn from disabled list
The Cleveland Indians have activated outfielder Michael Bourn from the 15-day disabled list, the team announced Friday.
Bourn had been on the DL since early July with a strained left hamstring. He began the year on the disabled list after having surgery on the same hamstring in the offseason and later missed four games in May when he re-aggravated the tendon.
More: New commissioner Manfred will face challenges with PEDs, labor
The outfielder assumed the roster spot vacated when reliever John Axford was claimed off waivers by the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday.
Bourn, a two-time All-Star, is hitting .267 with an on-base percentage of .316 in 66 games this season. The Indians entered Friday at 60-60, 5.5 games behind the Detroit Tigers for the second American League Wild Card.

Answer to relevant QuestionsExplain the concept of "stakeholder management." Why shouldn't managers be solely interested in stockholder management, that is, maximizing the returns for owners of the firm—its shareholders. A company focuses solely on short-term profits to provide the greatest return to the owners of the business (i.e., the shareholders in a publicly held firm). What ethical issues could this raise? What are the strategic groups in the casino industry? How should Apple compete? And how should Apple implement strategy? How should Jamba Juice compete?

- —Arthur Weasley points out Bode and Croaker to Harry Potter and Hermione Granger[src]
Professor Saul Croaker[1] was an Unspeakable for the Department of Mysteries, working in this position his entire life[1], including the summer of 1994. Croaker attended the 1994 Quidditch World Cup final, either attending with or meeting fellow Unspeakable Broderick Bode. Croaker was among the Ministry employees that passed by the Weasley family's campsite.
A "Croaker" is someone who habitually predicts evil; it has that sense because croaking is a noise made by crows and ravens, who are considered death omens, as they are carrion eaters.

Some of Morocco's best musicians showcased their musical traditions at a concert called "An Evening in Morocco" at the Royal Opera House Muscat (ROHM) on Wednesday evening.
The concert featured three wonderful singers Abderrahim Souiri, Fuad Zbadi and Karima Skalli each accompanied by the Moroccan Ensemble for Arabic Music, conducted by Salah Cherkaoui, and the Oulad Bouazzaoui Folklore Group. No doubt it was the three singers who captured the hearts of the mainly Arab audience, especially with the references to Oman that they added to their lyrics.
Abderrahim Souiri's slightly raspy voice was complemented beautifully by the ensemble of strings, kanun, oud and percussion. He sang a selection of Andalucian music that showcased his rich voice.
Fuad Zbadi, a small man with a powerful voice and contagious, ever-present smile, was simply delightful. He let his voice soar through the auditorium, holding long notes that had the audience clapping. Karima Skalli was elegant and refined, with a silky voice full of emotion. Her performance of "Oh Night, Be Long or Not" was especially moving.
The Oulad Bouazzaoui Folklore Group consisted of an oud player, a kanun player, four percussionists and two female vocalists and dancers. The instrumentalists were wonderful and the oud and kanun solos were most impressive. The music was almost hypnotic and mesmerising, but the dancers were more of a distraction and the overall performance may have been stronger had they just sung.
The highlight of the evening came at the end when Souiri, Zbadi and Skalli, joined by one of the members of the folklore group, sang together with the ensemble. Their voices harmonized beautifully. When the song finished, the audience wanted more so they took turns singing without the musicians playing, letting the purity of their voices delight the crowd.
For many in at the ROHM, it was an unforgettable evening in Morocco.

Why should I give a fuck, to be quite honest?
Clothes are fabric. They shouldn't be gendered anyways.

It appears to me that Richard would probably be the third most powerful person on the island (Behind Jacob and MIB). However, it appears that he listens to whoever is the leader of the Others or to anyone who has been on the island in a leading position. For instance, Ben said plenty of his own ideas and lied and said Jacob told him it. However, I believe Richard would know that Jacob never said those things, but he never questions him. The only conclusion I can come up with is that Jacob told Richard to pretty much just listen to whoever was in charge.
Am I missing any key points that show why Richard listens to whoever?

The AP found that over a 30 day period, the FBI flew aircraft in over 30 cities across 11 states. The flight surveillance was first reported in Baltimore when residents noticed suspicious aircraft overhead during protests over Freddie Gray's death. In response, the FBI said they occasionally help local police forces with aerial support.
"The FBI's aviation program is not secret," spokesman Christopher Allen said in a statement.
Yet Huffington Post notes that "even basic aspects of the program are withheld from the public in censored versions of official reports from the Justice Department's inspector general."
"Specific aircraft and their capabilities are protected for operational security purposes." Allen then added.
The planes are equipped with cell phone surveillance technology which can identify thousands of people just by the cell phones they carry — even if they are not using them or out in public. Devices known as a "cell-site stimulators" can trick targeted cell phones into revealing identification numbers of the phones' subscribers.
While FBI officials say that cell phone surveillance is rare, the planes have circled over at least 40,000 residents in a single flight, giving even the least wary folks reason to have cause for concern.
In the increasing debate for greater transparency with government surveillance, this mysterious program adds more fuel to the fire that our privacy rights are continuously violated without restriction or permission.

Gas Station TV Drops Axe on Political Ads
Obama spots pulled.
DETRIOT -- Presidential hopeful Barack Obama's political advertisements regarding his stance on rising energy costs originally created to air on Gas Station TV has been nixed.
While Gas Station TV regularly sells advertising on small, gas pump televisions, the Michigan-based company's CEO, David Leider, told the Associated Press (AP) that the company did consider running campaign ads, but ultimately decided against it.
Leider told AP that the content of the commercial which purportedly had Obama underscoring high gas prices while underscoring his opponent Senator John McCain's voting record on energy issues, was not the issue. "We avoid politics in general," he told AP.
According to Leider, the Obama campaign did not receive approval to move forward with a media buy. "At no time did Gas Station TV receive what is known in the media industry as an insertion order, which is required to purchase ads on the network," a released statement noted.
If the spots did run in Tampa, Orlando and Miami, drivers filling up would have heard Obama pledging a $1,000 energy rebate while making energy independence a priority, if elected president.
