What's your toddler's personality type?
Knowing this could impact your parenting style more than you realise. more
Losing weight is the perfect excuse to get rid of that old clothing and give your wardrobe a makeover - and whether you're just starting out on your weight-loss journey, or only a few kilograms from goal, spring cleaning your clothes will boost your self-esteem and help you look, and feel, great!
The first step towards your new spring wardrobe is to clear out the clutter and weed out the clothes you haven't worn for a while. Start by taking all your clothing out of your wardrobe, and laying them on your bed so you can get a good look at what's there. It can be hard to say goodbye to favourite pieces, even if they no longer fit you. Try to take a realistic approach - if you haven't worn a particular item of clothing for more than twelve months, chances are you're not likely to wear it in the next twelve months either. Instead of crying over clothes that don't fit any more, celebrate your weight-loss achievements by clearing them out to make room for new things. What to do with the discards? Sell them on eBay, donate to your local charity shop, or if they're really past it - ditch them!
Now that you've gotten rid of the clothes you don't wear, it's time to organise the clothes you do wear. Try to use matching coat-hangers if you can, and hang them all facing the same way so that your clothing sits neatly in your wardrobe. To make getting dressed a cinch, hang like with like - shirts together, jackets together and so on. Clothing items like t-shirts, underwear and socks that don't need to be hung should be folded neatly and put away in drawers. If you don't have drawers, try stackable baskets or boxes. Take care of your shoes by storing them in their original boxes, or in individual clear, stackable containers so that you can easily find the pair you are looking for. Clear, stackable containers are also great for storing accessories such as earrings, necklaces, rings and hair clips that might otherwise disappear into the bottom of your jewellery box, or look at getting a jewellery stand that works as room decor too.
Now that your wardrobe is a lean, mean, styling machine, it's a great time to shop for new pieces of clothing to fill in the gaps. Be a smart shopper though - when you are considering a purchase, remember all of the clothes you rehoused and discarded, and ask yourself, 'will I really wear this? Do I really need it?' By buy clothes that you love, are affordable, and that suit your body type , you'll be able to find the perfect outfit for any occasion without trawling through a minefield of never-worn pieces.

HOUSTON - A woman in the Heights refused to be a crime victim.
Jeanie Cooper said her hands were full about 5:45 p.m. on Monday as she walked up to her front porch on 14th Street near Studewood. She said a man came up and tried to steal her new purse. She wasn't about to let anyone steal it.
"When he started pulling me, I feel back downstairs and I was laying right here," said Cooper. "The purse and the lunch kit were laying underneath me. He's like, maybe, 125 -- little guy. I weigh 200 pounds. He's trying to drag me down the thing."
She said he dragged her down the sidewalk. She said the man eventually gave up, jumped in a getaway car with another man and took off.
But she held on to her new purse.
"He never said a word. And finally gave up because leverage just wasn't on his side. He dragged me all the way from there over to here," Cooper said.
She warned others not to make the same mistakes she did.
"Pay attention to what's going on because you become so desensitized or used to your environment that I would have not have thought a thing about it if he was parked somewhere else on the street," Cooper said.
Houston police said the robbery division is investigating this as an attempted theft by force case.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

Keynote Address by Nancy Ely-Raphel
Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons
US Department of State
I'm grateful for the opportunity to speak to you today about the problem of trafficking in persons. Unfortunately this issue has escaped the notice of far too many people, not out of neglect or indifference but because of an insufficient awareness and understanding of the nature of the problem. I want to describe for you what trafficking in persons means, define in general terms the law or legal definition, and broadly outline the dimensions of the problem in the United States and in Asia. Finally I want to set forth what can be done about it, including what the US government is now doing and what we can all do by working together. 'Trafficking in Persons,' as it is called, is something of a euphemism. Like many catchall phrases in popular currency that minimize or conceal complex problems, the term itself falls short of self-definition. This helps account for public unawareness or bewilderment as to what it means. Some of you may have asked yourselves that question. In essence 'Trafficking in Persons' is the modern day form of slavery. It is the commerce in human beings, a commerce in which individual lives have no value except as a commodity to be exchanged in the marketplace, like soybeans, livestock or oil futures for the purpose of realizing the best market price. Such commerce violates every moral principal that governs our society. It is not only a violation of fundamental human rights but a federal crime. Nevertheless the trade in human lives persists.
Slavery and involuntary servitude have been outlawed in the United States since the Civil War. Statutes enacted since then have outlawed peonage and other forms of forced labor or other involuntary services. Congress recently acted to expand these laws under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000. The international community has also responded. A Protocol on trafficking in persons supplements the UN Transnational Crime Convention.
Trafficking in persons is the use of force or deception to exploit men, women, and children to the profit of the traffickers and those who use their indentured labor. More specifically it is any act that recruits, abducts, transports, transfers, or sells individuals within national or across international borders through the use of force, fraud or deception. Their criminal intent is to exploit their victim through various forms of bondage. It has many guises. In the United States trafficking victims can be found in a variety of places and positions, some highly visible but most not conspicuous at all. Victims have been coerced into begging on the streets of New York to exploit their physical handicap. They have been forced into performing in strip clubs, in peep and touch shows, in promiscuous massage parlors that offer a variety of sexual services, and, of course, into prostitution. They also work in the obscurity of the underclass, as menial workers for pitiful wages in bondage for a debt that can never be repaid. In short, they work in sweatshops, in brothels, at construction projects, at the lowest paid jobs in the poultry, fish and meatpacking industries, and as migrant labor in our fields and orchards. Whether you live in the suburbs or the city, they may even work just around the corner from you in silent and submissive domestic servitude.
What is the scope of the trafficking problem to the United States? We estimate that approximately 45,000-50,000 women and children are trafficked to the United States each year. The practice is prevalent in all regions. There have been reports of trafficking in at least 20 different states, with most cases occurring in New York, California, Florida. Evidence suggests that state and local law enforcement have only scratched the surface of the problem. As an underground industry, trafficking is extremely difficult to uncover or expose. Illegal immigrants are particularly vulnerable to threats and intimidation. Ignorant of our laws, the victims are isolated further by language and cultural barriers.
In the past victims have traditionally come from Southeast Asia and Latin America. Increasingly, however, they are now arriving as well from Eurasia and Central and Eastern Europe. At present the primary source countries for the United States include Thailand, Vietnam, China, Mexico, Russia, Ukraine, the Philippines, and Korea.
Political instability, civil war, natural disasters, poverty, lack of educational or job opportunities, and discriminatory social or cultural practices, all contribute to the trafficking in persons.

Proctor-Silex Brand
PROCTOR-SILEX'S INDUSTRY FIRSTS In 1920, the Philadelphia Textile Machinery Company, founded in 1885, formed Proctor & Schwartz, Inc. Seeking new thermostat technology, Proctor & Schwartz, Inc. formed Proctor & Schwartz Electric Company. In about 1960, Proctor & Schwartz Electric became interested in the Silex Company, a manufacturer of coffeemakers and irons.
On March 1, 1960, the Proctor and Silex companies merged with great success to offer consumers a wide array of appliances. The new company was known as the Proctor-Silex Corporation. The company had many firsts: the first silent toaster, first electric glass coffeemaker, first cord-attached iron, first toaster oven/broiler, first pop-up toaster/toaster oven, first adjustable automatic iron, first snap-apart line of serviceable kitchen appliances, and first see-through steam iron water tank.
PERFECT COMPLEMENTS In 1990, NACCO Industries, Inc. had the foresight to bring two powerhouse appliance manufacturers – Hamilton Beach and Proctor-Silex – together. NACCO merged the two companies in 1990 to create the largest U.S. manufacturer of small kitchen appliances. Today, Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. continues to grow with a progressive new image and continued dedication to serving consumers.
There are no products matching the selection.

There are, as of this writing, just 52 performances left of this amazing theatrical experience; astoundingly, Cumming's Macbeth — in which he plays all the major characters, with the assistance of only two other players, neatly telescoped into one hour and forty minutes of non-stop wizardry — was snubbed by the Tony Awards, when it should have at least been nominated in any number of categories, most obviously for Best Actor. One might think that the entire idea is a gimmick — that one person couldn't possibly play all of the roles in Macbeth without the entire production degenerating into a mere stunt — but Cumming commands the stage for every instant of the play, never leaves any doubt in the audience's mind as to whom he's playing at any given moment, and does a remarkable job of shifting characters at express train speed without even the slightest trace of hesitancy.
Consider that he's got to memorize all the roles — the entire play from beginning to end — and perform on a stage, which is designed to look like a stark, institutional mental hospital, with absolutely no way of receiving prompts on the text, and you'll begin to get some idea of the Herculean feat that Cumming undertakes, and brilliantly executes. As the play's website notes, "directed by Tony winner John Tiffany (Once) and Andrew Goldberg, this 'stirring turn by Alan Cumming packing theatrical thunder and lightning' (Daily News) is set in a clinical room deep within a dark psychiatric unit.
Cumming is the lone patient, reliving the infamous story and inhabiting each role himself. Closed circuit television camera watch the patient's every move as the walls of the psychiatric ward come to life . . ." — and the most harrowing thing about the play is one gets the distinct feeling that Cumming, as Macbeth, will be forced to relive the experiences of the play night after night, endlessly looping out on the tragedy that he's been sucked into, over and over again until the madness and horror of the scenario is well-nigh unbearable. This is a piece that will only work as live theater; you have to witness it directly. Anything else would get in the way.
As a reviewer in The Huffington Post wrote, "Macbeth with Alan Cumming: another dazzling and brilliant one-person show. Yes, Macbeth as a one-man show. I am so jealous; they did it so right. Johnson said that Shakespeare held the mirror up to nature; well, yes, if we say that the mirror is reflecting the essence of nature but not a realistic view of nature. Here is a way to do Shakespeare as realism; you have a single madman in a hospital reciting all the parts. In that way the Elizabethan dialogue is no longer high Shakespearian; it is the expression of a mad character. His portrayals of the familiar Scottish murderers can't be over the top because the characters are being played by an insane character. Macbeth is not Macbeth; it is a portrayal of Macbeth by a man losing his mind in an institution. Cumming is superb."
This is an evening in the theater I will always remember.

Prize Recipient
Victoria Villar
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
My name is Victoria Ashley Villar and I am from Vero Beach, Florida. I have always had a strong interest in math and science, but what truly sparked my interest in physics (specifically astrophysics) was, of all things, an interview on the Daily Show between comedian Jon Stewart and his astronomical guest, Neil Degrasse Tyson. Tyson wittily introduced the audience to the wonders of black holes, supernovas and space. I quickly picked up his newest book and was soon drawn into this subjects radius of gravity for good. I plan on majoring in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the fall, with hopes of one day becoming an astrophysicist.

I THINK you have to look at the draw in the opening game of the season against Cardiff as two points dropped.
As the away team they would certainly have been the happier of the two.
But that is not to say Rovers should not be pleased as they showed they can match a team which hopefully they will be up there contesting with come the end of the season.
Cardiff got their noses in front – it was a real sucker-punch after we had started reasonably well.
From then on it was clear they had done their homework as they sat back and let us have a go at them.
Rovers are a good counter-attacking side and they will hurt you. But if you sit back and let them come and try and create, it's a little bit more difficult.
Some of the link up play between Rudy Gestede and Jordan Rhodes was fantastic in the first half, it was just unfortunate that it was all in front of the Cardiff back four rather than behind it.
The quality of the crossing wasn't quite up to scratch – which is normal, you expect that in a first game – and of course the way we lost the goal was a disappointment because we switched off at a second ball at a free kick.
But credit to Blackburn, they stuck at it, stuck to their system and shape, and a fantastic goal from Tom Cairney got us back level and from there on I thought that they were there for the taking.
But, as I say, Cardiff came out second half and shut up shop and we had to readjust because of the loss of Matt Kilgallon.
And, after a good start to the second half, it became one of those games I class as a game of chess.
It was frustrating but certainly not the end of the world.

WASHINGTON - Students from a Houston high school are in Washington D.C. to watch the president's inauguration.
Approximately 150 students from Houston's Waltrip High School will be among the massive crowd at the National Mall.
Local 2's Rachel McNeil caught up with the 'Ram Band,' named after Waltrip's school mascot, as they tuned up for the big trip. They were the only high school band selected to play at Saturday's Texas Black Tie and Boots Inaugural Ball.
"Music, it takes you places. And we're going to D.C. and I'm very happy," said Diego Espinoza, a head drummer in the band.
Many of the students have never traveled outside Texas, let alone to the nation's capital.
"I am so excited. This is my first year going on a band trip," said Diego.
Jesse Espinosa, the head band director, said it took a minor miracle to get the group to Washington, D.C.
"Coming up with $150,000 for 150 people to travel, students mostly that are economically disadvantaged, it was definitely an uphill battle from the get go," said Espinosa.
But the kids, their parents and the community stepped up to make it happen.
"This is it. I mean, hard work really pays off and this is the perfect example and we believe it's a miracle, so I'm glad I got to be a part of this because I do believe that miracles do happen," said Diego.

DETROIT -- Sunshine and smooth water greeted drivers during testing for the DYC Detroit APBA Gold Cup early Friday afternoon.
"Some of the nicest Detroit water I've run on," Kip Brown, who drives the U-95 Spirit of Qatar hydroplane, said after his first laps on the race course.
"There's nothing too nasty out there," Brown, 36, said. "It's a nice way to get acclimated to the river. It's nice to be able to get out there on smooth water so you can get your boat set up."
Steve David, who drives the U-1 Oh Boy! Oberto, said the water was "terrific" on the 2.5-mile course.
"We just warmed up at 158 (mph)," David said. "We're just trying some different combinations. I was able to leg it all the way around."
Even if the weather doesn't change dramatically, and wind speeds don't pick up, drivers expect the river conditions to change as the weekend continues.
"You put six boats, five boats out there, it'll get rough," David said.
Added Brown, "We all know it's going to get nasty. Chances are, we're going to have wind before the weekend is up."
But Brown, the 2008 H1 Unlimited Rookie of the Year, said teams will take advantage of the calm water for as long as they can.
"When we can get out on nice water, it can do nothing but help your confidence," Brown said. "If your boat gets upset later, you know it's getting upset by the water, not because you've got a fundamental setup problem."
Qualifying was scheduled for late Friday afternoon.
Heat races will be run Saturday and Sunday, with the Gold Cup final Sunday.

Denver's cold temps affecting even the most brave
DENVER -- Last Tuesday, when the Rockies played in temperatures in the 30s, Mets hitters were greeted by the intimidating sight of left-hander Rex Brothers entering a game bare-armed -- no sleeves extending from his game jersey.
With the game-time temperature this Tuesday at 23 -- a record low for a Rockies home game -- it was doubtful Brothers would be so brave again. Brothers did have a cold-tub treatment before the game, but that may be his limit.
"When I got out of the cold tub, I thought I might have to ask 'Schulzie' [clubhouse operations director Keith Schulz] for a turtleneck today," Brothers said.
Truth be told, Brothers' bravery was a mistake.
"It snuck up on me," Brothers said. "Down there in the bullpen, you're kind of shielded from the wind and the cold. We're underneath, under the heaters.
"When I ran out on the field, I was like, 'Yeah, I should've worn sleeves. No doubt about it.'"
Closer Rafael Betancourt also went without the long sleeves.
Whatever the reason, hitters have to take notice, and probably wonder about the sanity of the pitcher. Manager Walt Weiss wouldn't put it past a relief pitcher to intentionally avoid the warmth.
"The bullpen guys are the offensive linemen of baseball; I don't know how they do it," Weiss said. "I wouldn't be out there with no sleeves.
"But I think it's just a feel thing. A lot of pitchers don't like throwing with anything on their arms. Even if it's 12 degrees out there, that's what they're going to do."

What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time
Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing
Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing
Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students
We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

Do You Ever…? - September 18, 2017Paid LessonLesson Collection #2 - Lesson 18
This fun yet simple pair work activity helps students practice adverbial phrases of frequency.
Students will also be able to practice subject/verb agreement for both first person (First Partner) and third person (Second Partner).
Practicing basic English grammar patterns doesn't have to be boring. This lesson immediately gets students asking each other interesting questions. More times than not, students will automatically branch off into more detailed conversations just to learn more about their partners.
A few of the Do You Ever...? questions are:
Do you ever go to bed after 1:00 am?
Do you ever lose your temper?
Do you ever lend money to people?
A typical Q & A dialogue would go something like this:
Student A: Do you ever talk to strangers?
Student B: Yes, I do.
Student A: How often do you talk to strangers?
Student B: I occasionally talk to strangers.
(Optional Follow-up questions for higher-ability students:)
Student A: When was the last time you talked to a stranger?
Student B: The last time I talked to a stranger was a few days ago. I saw a woman holding a map and she looked confused. I asked her if she needed any help. . . etc.
There are 11 Do You Ever...? questions on each worksheet, plus there's space for students to ask each other one original question.

Hi Kurt,
After reading the other testimonials, I really agree with them! I have taught ESL for 20+ years and I am always looking for exciting materials for my adult students. Your worksheets have hit the jackpot! They have captured the attention of my adult students. Observing them last night with the adjective synonyms, they were staying past the dismissal time and working to explore and complete the worksheet. Thank you, Thank you.

Hi Kurt!,
What a wonderful site you've got there, thanks for all the great ideas. I teach high school girls who really dislike studying, but even they manage to get some enjoyment from these lessons.
We EFL teachers need more sites like these.
I integrate your lessons into my syllabus so girls never get bored. For them, English should be entertainment and while most textbooks are short on that, your lessons are not.
Keep up the wonderful work!
Elizabeth Longo Seong Am Girls' Information Industrial High School
I have been using these fun EFL4U lessons since the site began many years ago! Apart from making my life easier where time is concerned, the lessons are really well prepared, educational, fun to use and my students love them!
Well done, Kurt!
Curitiba, Brazil
Other language-teaching resource books promise exciting, ready-to-copy activities, but these worksheets really deliver the goods.
Hey Kurt,
Your lesson worksheets are the best EFL resource I've ever used!

Interesting, I agree we are not on their level, but I think we can get there. Will be interesting to see if anyone other than Cody goes this year.
Also, I would say our facilities are nicer, but that's probably picking nits. I would take Rupp over Assembly though just from the stand point of watching the game. Though I love Assembly's charm and it's ability to hold sound.

I guess Monday's session is what passes for a down day in 2013. That said, I did notice some minor sequestration chatter -- something I discussed here last week. Even the defense stocks finally took notice and headed south, even though folks somehow ignored this prospect last week.
With that in mind, I want to address a question I received several times on Monday: What could possibly take the market down? Let's look at that a different way. Think about when the market is in the depths of a decline -- when you think the market should rally and it doesn't, and all the news is horrible. Don't you find yourself asking, "What could possibly rally this market?" Then, boom, out of nowhere, some news arrives and the market rallies.
So if you are asking yourself that nowadays, you will understand why the bullish percentage in the Investors Intelligence readings is kissing 53%. You will understand why that CNN Fear and Greed Index -- which I highlighted Monday -- was at 94% over the weekend. You will understand, moreover, why the moving averages of the put-call ratios are this low and turning upward. Just have a look at the 10-day moving average below.
Now, just in case you are firmly planted in the bull camp and want to see this chart as bullish, glance over at the rally in early 2012. Here, you can see that it took three higher lows in the indicator before these kinds of readings mattered. Of course, we are now beginning to see those higher lows.
The other refrain I hear so often is about how everyone wants to buy the dip. We have seen this countless times in the markets, because human nature doesn't change, and everyone is dying to pick up stocks on a step back within an uptrend. But, as a result, we have two potential outcomes: Either the dip never comes, or the dip arrives and quite suddenly folks have myriad reasons as to why they have no interest in buying it.
Finally, I was asked to update my view on oil. As you might recall, I began thinking oil should rally starting in October or November. It ended up taking quite some time to get going, and the price rose with very little fanfare this time around -- a contrast to the usual zip and pizzazz that's typical of this commodity. On the chart below, that base actually measures up into the area of $102 to $105 per barrel, but for now I think it will be quite tough to chew through $100.
As long as oil stays above the $94.50-to-$95 area, it should make its way up toward $99 to $100. Should we see any break of that uptrend line, I will rethink my view. Of course, what I would love to see would be a spurt up into resistance that gets everyone excited and chattering. But when oil rises so gradually, the move tends to go unnoticed.

I figured since today was the first day of Black History Month, I'd post some links just to browse over and get a little appreciation in.
I figured since today was the first day of Black History Month, I'd post some links just to browse over and get a little appreciation in.
We talked about "black history month" when I lived in Ann Arbor in 1st grade (1975) and then it was never mentioned again the entire time I was in school in Cincinnati, California, or in New Jersey.
Get your nunchucks and the keys to your dad's car. I know where we can get a gun
"black history month" is a joke. where is western european, latin, or women's history. I was raised in the south and every feb we were constantly lectured in class about george washington carver and his damn peanut butter and harriet Tubman with her underground railroad.
All "black history month" leads to is the further distinction of race and color among americans. This whole concept is horrible at best. It was a great idea at the time to raise awareness about everything black people have done throughout our history but, if people really want to be treated as equals there shouldn't be something in neon lights in everyones face screaming, "Hey! we are not the same color as you but, We did some cool stuff too!!!"
We found your stolen Prius, it was voting for Ralph Nader.
also the negro leagues had some of the best athletes of their time. Cool papa bell supposively was so fast he hit a grounder to 2nd base and was hit by it while sliding into 2nd base... fairly cool imo
We found your stolen Prius, it was voting for Ralph Nader.
Actually I found you assertion that it's a joke even more laughable and rooted in a here and now mentality one that is obviously cloaked in your own concept of reality."black history month" is a joke.
its just my opinion. I grew up in savannah ga and most of my friends would cringe at the thought of black history month. I am a black male age 23 and I do not appreciate it in the slighest. but west do you...
We found your stolen Prius, it was voting for Ralph Nader.
But then again my wife is pretty good friends with a guy whose grandfather was Arthur Ashe's coach and he'd give a convincing argument that it's needed.
I totally agree with you on this."black history month" is a joke.
I thought me and brothers might be the only ones who thought so, we have been having meetings about for a long time now
Another interesting article from milb.com HERE
Also I appreciate you for pointing that out. People often are quick to jump down my throat any time I speak out against BHM. It does make sense what you were saying about people in Portland and other places with a predominantly white community to learn the history through the eyes of someone other than the majority in society.
Basic black contributions that I am extremely proud of that often do not receive their proprer recognition:
1)Dr. Carter G. Woodson- parents were both former slaves. Did not begin highschool in Kentucky until the zge of 20. Went on to receive his PhD from Harvard. It's safe to say that he is the man who is responsible for there being as much information out today about the history of black america.
2)Hiram Revels- The first black U.S. senator in Mississppi. I want to say late 1860's early 1870's not positive though. I'll edit later.
3)Benny Andrews- Benny Andrews (November 13, 1930 - November 10, 2006) was an American painter, print-maker, creator of collages and educator. He was born November 13, 1930 in Plainview, Georgia and died November 10, 2006 in Brooklyn, New York.
Andrews was an African American who was one of 10 children of sharecroppers and was raised in the Southern United States while it was still segregated. He was the first in his family to graduate from high-school and then Andrews went on to serve in the U.S. Air Force. Afterwards, the G.I. Bill of Rights afforded him training at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His first New York solo show was in 1962. From 1968 to 1997 Andrews taught at Queens College, City University of New York and created a prison arts program that became a model for the nation. He was the director of visual arts for the National Endowment for the Arts, 1982 to 1984. In 1983 he was instrumental in helping form The National Arts Program which today is the largest coordinated visual arts program in the nation's history.
Benny Andrews was a figural painter in the expressionist style who painted a diverse range of themes of suffering and injustice, including The Holocaust, Native American forced migrations, and most recently, Hurricane Katrina. Other influences on his work include Anti-Modernist American Scene painting, Surrealism, and Southern folk art. His work hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago, the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York City, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, Louisiana.
link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_Andrews
easier to let everyone read everything than for me to summarize
4)William h Johnson- Artist. The smithsonian has a guide and offer lessons just on his work alone. Amazing artist
Almost everyone knows of the importance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jackie Robinson, Harriet Tubman, and George Washington Carver but, These individuals deserve much more notoriety than what they have achieved.
We found your stolen Prius, it was voting for Ralph Nader.
Just remember this is a baseball board. If you want to debate Black History Month specifically, you can do it here
Here's a thought.... why don't we keep this thread on topic?
edit : Chip beat me to it
The lowest acceptable payroll amount for ownership to show they are not greedy pigs is 15 million more than they are currently paying. No matter what that currently is.
sorry for the rant. this is a baseball forum so lets get back to business...
1927 pitching for the birmingham black barons he 93IP 80 K and 19BB
1929 set the negro league K record in a season with 184. I haven't found his innings pitched. Also that includes 17 in a single game.
1932 joined the homestead grays with a team that included Josh Gibson, Oscar Charleston and Ted Radcliffe.
1932 Grays sign Cool Papa Bell, John Henry Russell, Leroy Matlock, Jake Stephens, Boojum Wilson, Jimmie Crutchfield, Ted Page, Judy Johnson and Rap Dixon. Arguably one of the greatest teams ever assembled. 5 future hall of famers...
1936 On February 7, 1936, Joe DiMaggio was making his last stop as a minor leaguer before joining the New York Yankees, and he was going to have to face baseballs best pitcher, Satchel Paige. DiMaggio ended up going 1-4 with the game winning RBI in the bottom of the tenth. A Yankee scout watching the game wired the big club that day a report which read, DIMAGGIO EVERYTHING WED HOPED HED BE: HIT SATCH ONE FOR FOUR.
Over the next few years he bounced around multiple leaguesincluding mexico and the dominican republic before Jakie broke the color barrier.
On his last game that he ever pitched in as a major leaguer at the young age of 59 he threw 3 innings allowing ZERO runs to a Boston Red Sox team that included a guy by the name if Carl Yastrzemski... in 1966
Satchel was ridiculously great!
We found your stolen Prius, it was voting for Ralph Nader.
You have to appreciate what Jackie Robinson did, when he did it. The civil rights movement hadn't even really started yet, and here he was, breaking the color barrier in MLB. And, he did it alone. It wasn't like there was a group of other black baseball players that came in with him that he could lean on, it was all Jackie.
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
No you dontYou have to appreciate what Jackie Robinson did, when he did it.

Davis moonlights as producer for W.A.R. company
February 8, 2006
What: "Playas Ball," a film by W.A.R. Entertainment, a production company run by the Pistons' Dale Davis.
Plot: A basketball player on the cusp of superstardom gets entangled in a sex scandal.
Premieres: Feb. 17 in Houston. Date for the Detroit premiere to be announced.
More info: www.playasball.com and www.worldaintright.com.
Pistons reserve forward Dale Davis won't fly to Houston next week to play in the NBA All-Star Game.
But he will head to the Texas city to attend to a different career milestone -- the release of his first movie.
Substitute a red carpet for the hardwood, a power suit for a jersey. Davis has gone Hollywood.
The movie, inspired by life as he has known it in the NBA, is called "Playas Ball." The red-carpet premiere is Feb. 16 in Houston, three days before the All-Star Game. The film's public debut is the following day. "Playas Ball" is scheduled to hit Detroit soon, although a date hasn't been set.
This moment has been a long time coming for Davis, 36. The film, wrapped and waiting for the right distributor, was shelved in 2003 amid a strange connection to a famous rape case.
But the baby of Davis' 8-year-old company, W.A.R. Entertainment, is finally ready for release -- and he couldn't be prouder.
"My whole philosophy when I got this started was to create an arm for urban movies," Davis said. "And you now, it took me a little longer to get that finished, but now we have it."
W.A.R. stands for World Ain't Right. Those are more than letters to Davis. They speak his deeply held philosophy, a perspective gained from growing up "without the silver spoon" in his mouth, he said, and working toward a career in an exclusive club populated by mostly black men, like him.
While basketball is first and foremost in Davis' heart, W.A.R. follows as a close second.
In his journey through life, Davis said he has learned that there's still plenty of work to do to make the world a better place.
"It's about things just not being right in the world," he said. "It's the struggle, which is a war, a lot of the times, that's within. It applies to pretty much every situation that you can think of. I look at it as what I can do to make it better."
What he thought he could do was give urban artists, actors and writers a company committed to helping them achieve their dreams in the music and movie industries. And he wanted to spread positive, yet realistic messages, about urban life -- especially for blacks.
That means not ignoring the realities of wealth, fame, professional sports -- or guns, violence, gangs and drugs. He looks for artists or movies that show people emerging from those problems.
"I kind of built my business in the beginning with artists from the street who have had to overcome obstacles," said Davis, who grew up in small-town Toccoa, Ga. "People that have been through something and have tried to use their talents to change their lives."
"Playas Ball" centers on a fictional professional basketball player who enjoys a positive reputation, a high scoring average, a bevy of product endorsements and the likelihood of a rich and successful future.
But the character, played by Allen Payne ("The Perfect Storm"), soon sinks into a mess that involves an accusation of date rape and an ensuing paternity suit.
Davis based the concept on problems and issues he has seen during his 14-year NBA career. He handpicked the writers to turn the concept into a script, and he put up $1 million of his own money to finance the film.
Filming wrapped in early 2003, and about five months later, Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant was accused of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old hotel worker in Colorado. (Charges eventually were dropped and a civil case was settled.) The incident mirrored Davis' movie in uncanny ways, even the endorsement deal.
In "Playas Ball," the character signs a major shoe deal before the incident. In real life, Bryant signed an extension with Nike just days before the incident.
Word spread that Davis was shopping a movie with an eerily similar storyline. He became the focus of some strange conspiracy theories. Some bloggers accused Davis, who was with Portland at the time, of planting the woman in Colorado with the dual purpose of disrupting the Lakers' budding dynasty and promoting his movie.
Davis chalked up the similarities to a "freak of nature."
"In actuality, it wasn't a Kobe Bryant story," he said "It was a story of a professional athlete -- he did sign a huge shoe endorsement contract, he did get accused of the rape situation -- and it showed some of the trials and tribulations that he went through (despite) being a squeaky-clean athlete."
But because of the sensitivity of the matter, Davis waited to release the movie. Now he's ready to show it to the world. And he hopes the fact that life imitated his art strengthens his message.
"It just shows that even if you're on the superstar level, you're only human," he said. "And if you don't have the correct guidance and mentorship, you can go out and get in trouble. Sometimes even if you do have it you can still get caught up in things.
"That side of professional athletes' lives, I don't think people really understand or have any clue of."

Teddington Hockey Club's U10 girls and boys teams both secured well-deserved gold medals at the Middlesex Championships on Sunday.
Sam Elvidge struck a hat-trick as his side avenged last year's final defeat to Sunbury & Walton with a 4-1 triumph over the same side this time round.
The girls team matched that feat with a 3-1 triumph over Harrow to retain the trophy they lifted last year.
Boys team manager Peter Hunt said: "This was a great team performance with the entire squad contributing.

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) --When government interference threatens the integrity of your savings--as happened March 16 in Cyprus when President Nicos Anastasiades announced stealing from all citizens' bank accounts would cure the country's banking ills--you might lose a bit of faith in fiat currency, vulnerable as it is to the whims of politicians and centralized banks. Hence the buzz around Bitcoin, the encrypted virtual currency that began in 2009 and reached $1 billion in total value this week. In October of 2011, a bitcoin was trading at around $5. Today, by contrast, a single bitcoin is worth just north of $140.
Of course, it's not as if throngs of Cypriots are clamoring to exchange their euros for bitcoins, but the precarious nature of the financial system in the Euro zone has drummed up more interest in the digital money, even from Americans. "Cyprus fueled the fire of what people have felt since the financial crisis and the housing bust--mistrust of government, mistrust of banking," said Alan Safahi, Founder and CEO ZipZap, the largest cash payment processor for Bitcoins with more than 700,000 locations globally. "It's enough to drive people away from fiat currency." By contrast, Bitcoin, as a decentralized currency that can be freely exchanged in a p2p fashion or between consumers and merchants, is immune to the undulations of traditional banking systems and safe from the ramifications of changing interest rates and inflation. And with a cap at 21 million bitcoins that will be issued (there are currently 11 million bitcoins in circulation), some argue Bitcoin will behave with more stability. That's why over the last six months, Jonathan Waller, a 29-year-old Brit working in Tokyo as a video game developer, has put 95% of his savings into Bitcoin. He also runs the Tokyo Bitcoin Meetup group, which has had a 400% increase in size since last month in light of the attention garnered from Cyprus.
"I keep an eye on the worldwide financial situation, and this is what has caused me to look for places to keep my money safe," he said. "I'm terrified about the bond situation in the U.S. and Japan, and realize this is just the beginning."

Ellsbury still in leadoff spot -- for now
CHICAGO -- When the slumping Jacoby Ellsbury arrived at U.S. Cellular Field for Tuesday night's game against the White Sox, he was still in his customary leadoff spot.
However, a change could happen before long if Ellsbury doesn't get in a groove.
"We have considered it, yes," said manager John Farrell. "And we're sticking with him to hopefully give him the opportunity to come out of the situation he's in right now. But I can say this: whether he's hitting first or whether he's hitting somewhere else in the lineup, there are still things we have to address and he has to address. Those are ongoing."
Perhaps the change would have occurred on Tuesday had Shane Victorino not suffered a left hamstring injury that kept him out of the lineup. He would be the logical person to lead off for Boston if Ellsbury gets dropped.
"We're trying to keep some element of speed at the top of the order, but that's not the overriding thing," said Farrell. "It's still where Jake has hit most of his career. With Shane being out of the lineup, yeah, we would like to have that blend of speed and on-base ability, even though the on-base ability right now has been less than [normal]."
Entering Tuesday action, Ellsbury was hitting .241 with one homer, 14 RBIs and a .303 on-base percentage. In 86 plate appearances in May, Ellsbury is hitting .179 with a .256 on-base percentage.
In Monday's game, he hit four straight groundouts to second base, one for a double play.
"Again, it comes down to timing," Farrell said. "Timing at the plate -- whether it's four ground balls to second base or whether it's three line drives to third base. He's in a situation where he's working to do what he can to get out of this and we're working there with him. This isn't a matter of effort. It's a matter of maybe being a little bit more free of mind and letting that natural ability take over."

AmberLee of A Givers Log shares her tutorial for making this cute fleece petal scarf. It's a great kid-friendly craft, and I love that she hosted a DIY party for her daughter's friends where they could each make their own scarves. I also love that she shares how she broke down the prep process into small steps that could be accomplished each day (cutting petals while watching tv, stacking petals before the girls arrive, etc.) It's nice to be reminded that not every project is one that has to be rushed out and completed-right-this-very-afternoon. Take your time, break it down, and you'll be able to accomplish a lot more than you thought you could!

Letter to the editor: Remembering a football icon
January 8, 2013
This past week Northern Nevada lost a football Icon, Coach Ken Dalton of the McQueen Lancers, to his battle against cancer at the age of 65. In 1982, I was a freshman at South Tahoe High. I remember driving to McQueen for a game, there was one road, and the rest was dirt. There were no houses, no stores, just dirt. I remember thinking, "who builds a school in the middle of no where?"
Coach Dalton went on to win 11 regional titles, and six state championships in his 27 years of coaching at McQueen. He is also responsible for the Northwest Community, no longer dirt roads but a thriving community with houses as far as the eye can see and a community believing in Lancer Pride.
If you ever played or coached against Dalton, chances are good that he beat you, and beat you bad. On the field he was a fierce competitor, off the field he was a mentor, husband, father, friend.

Youngsters at Easton Royal Primary School will walk in memory of grandmother Anne Deeks, who died in a collision on the A4, to raise awareness of road safety charity Brake.
Mrs Deeks' grandchildren, nine-year-old Harrison and six-year-old Tyler, go to Easton Royal School and the school came up with the idea of the sponsored walk when their mother, Elaine Owen, said she was doing a 10km run in London.
Mrs Deeks, 69, of Sagecroft in Thatcham, was killed in a collision between Newbury and Hungerford on February 26 while on the way to her daughter's house in Old Hospital Road in Pewsey.
Mrs Owen said: "It was a terrible shock. This is the first person the boys have lost and it was my mum, who they were very close to.
"To have a grandparent who dies because they get old is a bit easier to understand but this was completely unexpected."
After Mrs Deeks' death the family was supported by Brake and now 40-year-old Mrs Owen, who runs her own interior design company, is fundraising for the charity.
She said: "Brake has been a good support to me and the children and gave them books afterwards that helped them understand what they were feeling and that it was okay to have those thoughts."
On July 2, Harrison and Tyler, along with the other pupils at Easton Royal Primary School, will walk one mile from the school to the village hall and back to raise awareness of the charity.
Pupils will be wearing high-visibility jackets as well as Brake T-shirts and older pupils will be carrying buckets to collect donations from villagers.
Just over a week later, Mrs Owen will be running the British 10k in London and in October she will take part in the Moonride, an 80k bike ride around London.
She said: "I've been overwhelmed by the support. It is a lovely school and they came up with the idea of the walk on their own."
