Mad Love Presents: Coffee Shop Hip Hop, Joint Custody
Vinyl Music Hall
2 S. Palafox St.
Pensacola, FL, 35202
Doors 7:00 PM (event ends at 11:00 PM)
This event is all ages
Las Supper is a music collaboration with the Legendary Big Daddy Kane, R&B Soul singer Show Tyme, and the Hip-Hop fusion band Lifted Crew.
Performing Big Daddy Kane's biggest solo hip hop hits along with the songs off of Las Supper's critically acclaimed debut album "Back To The Future"
Las Supper
Imagine we turn back the hands of time to the heyday of soul
music when Motown and Stax records were leading a musical
revolution. Now, let's bring Hip Hop, our generation's musical
revolution into the picture. For example, imagine Talib Kweli as a
member of the Temptations or Sam & Dave being Wayne & Dave.
This is the concept being explored by the group Las Supper. A young powerhouse of NYC musicians called Lifted Crew created the dynamic sounds of yesteryear in a modern fashion with live instrumentation. This movement is lead by the powerful and soulful voice of Show Tyme, one of R&B's best-kept secrets.
Show Tyme sang background for many of today's
musical artists who currently have such strong presence on today's musical charts. To conclude this super group, Las Supper recruited Hip-Hop Legend Big Daddy Kane to add the element of Hip Hop to this Soul Sensation. So join Las Supper on a soulful journey as they go "Back To The Future"
More on Big Daddy Kane:
Big Daddy Kane is regarded as one of the most influential and skilled golden age rappers. MTV put him at No. 7 in their Greatest MCs Of All Time list, he is placed at No.4 in Kool Moe Dee's book There's A God On The Mic: The True 50 Greatest MCs, About.com ranked him #3 on its list of the "Top 50 MCs of Our Time," and RZA listed him as one of his Top 5 best MCs. In 2012, The Source ranked him #8 on their list of the Top 50 Lyricists of All Time. Allmusic says, "his best material ranks among the finest hip-hop of its era, and his sex-drenched persona was enormously influential on countless future would-be players", and describes him as, "an enormously talented battle MC", "one of rap's major talents", refers to his, "near-peerless technique" " and "first-rate technique and rhyming skills" and says he "had the sheer verbal facility and razor-clean dexterity to ambush any MC and exhilarate anyone who witnessed or heard him perform". Kool Moe Dee describes him as "one of the most imitated emcees ever in the game" and "one of the true greatest emcees ever", and Ice-T says:
"To me, Big Daddy Kane is still today one of the best rappers. I would put Big Daddy Kane against any rapper in a battle. Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem, any of them. I could take his 'Raw' "swagger" from 88 and put it up against any record [from today]. Kane is one of the most incredible lyricists… and he will devour you on the mic. I don't want to try to out-rap Big Daddy Kane. Big Daddy Kane can rap circles around cats".
His first two albums are also considered Hip Hop classics and Rolling Stone says, "he has received consistent critical kudos". In the book, Rap-Up: The Ultimate Guide To Hip-Hop And R&B, Cameron and Devin Lazerine say Big Daddy Kane is "widely seen as one of the best lyricists of his time and even today regularly gets name-checked by younger dudes", and music journalist Peter Shapiro says Kane is "perhaps the most complete MC ever". Eminem references Big Daddy Kane in the lyrics to his song 'Yellow Brick Road' from his Encore album, saying, "we (Eminem and Proof) was on the same shit, that Big Daddy Kane shit, where compound syllables sound combined" and he quotes the same lines in his book, The Way I Am – this illustrates how Big Daddy Kane had an influence on both Eminem's and Proof's rhyme technique.

Jurassic Park III: Press views
Press reviews of Jurassic Park III
The Guardian
This great dinosaur of a movie is shambling towards well-merited extinction. Not even the intelligent presence of William H Macy and, indeed Sam Neill - a veteran of JP1 - can prevent it winding up in the brontosaurus graveyard.
The Observer
Along for the ride is some obvious dinosaur fodder, and as Johnston has dispensed almost entirely with lyrical wonder and concentrated on horror and violence, the result is a dark, almost morbid picture that is unsuitable for younger children and squeamish adults.
The Times
Even without Spielberg, there's a sheen, a splinter of darkness, to the third Jurassic that sets it apart from most fantastical blockbusters. Yes it's formulaic, but some thought has gone into getting it right. The dinosaurs really do look like killers as they skulk in jungles, sidle out of soupy mists, and rear up screeching into the sky. Human beings are swiped like credit cards across windscreens. Rotting corpses dangle from trees.
The Independent
Jurassic Park III may be hack work, but it's hack work carried out with precision and performed with a heart. Sam Neill's anchoring presence is always reassuring, and the smart character acting of T�a Leoni and William H Macy (the latter playing a mouse who finds his roar) is of an order you don't often find in genre work-outs. Truly, I never imagined that Parklife could be such fun.
The Sunday Times
There's just not enough dramatic tension and visual excitement to get your heart pumping. Johnston claims his creatures are far more lifelike than Spielberg's because the technology of special effects has changed since then. But realism was never a problem with the creatures in the first two films - there's just nothing left to say or show.
The Daily Telegraph
At its best, it whips itself up into a nice, scary lather, but it shrivels to nothing between the set pieces, in an excess of fog, token bits of talk, and an absence of genuine, elemental awe.
London Evening Standard
Much as I was enjoyably shaken by the experience, I'd be failing in my duty if I didn't say I'd feel uneasy at letting very young children watch this film without their parents or guardians first seeing it for themselves.

Super Bowl XLVI: Super Bowl Betting Online
It's that time of the year again, to get in on all of the fun and the crazy action available with Super Bowl betting online. It's everyone's favorite time to make some bets, whether they take it extremely seriously or want to make a few fun proposition bets just because they can. Whatever they're looking to do, it's going to be available for the Super Bowl. Here's a quick guide to some of what you can expect.
With the two Super Bowl teams being the New York Giants and the New England Patriots you can be assured to see an exciting game. Super Bowl betting online makes the big game even more exciting because of the added thrill of winning money on the game. A lot of people also like to wager different Super Bowl props including who will win the coin flip, how long with the national anthem take to sing and many more.
Not only that, but there are already odds and lines up for 2013 Super Bowl champions! As unbelievable as that sounds, Vegas loves to post up odds for next year's champions to get some biters hoping to cash in on some huge odds.
For example, right now you can get +2,000 odds on the Dallas Cowboys winning the 2013 Super Bowl championship, or plus +1,200 on the Steelers winning. The biggest long shots are the Cleveland Browns, Washington Redskins, Jacksonville Jaguars and St. Louis Rams, all at +10,000. The smallest odds are for the Green Bay Packers, at just +500, the New Orleans Saints at +600 and the New England Patriots at +800.
Of course, once this year's Super Bowl teams are decided, you'll have a huge range of options for how you can bet on the game and participate with some Super Bowl betting online. You'll have all of your usual betting options available, such as a straight pick of the winner, and betting on the outcome of the game with a point spread. There will also be the usual over/under lines for you to get involved with.
From there though, just about anything that you can dream up will be available as a bet. How much will the teams score in each quarter? Which team will score first, and which player will get the first touchdown? Who will be the MVP? Who will get the most rushing or receiving yards? How many penalties will there be, and which team will be more penalized? How many coach's challenges will be used, and how many will be overturned?
There are even non-football bets you can make with your Super Bowl betting online. Who will win the coin toss? How long will the game last? How many times will the announcers say certain phrases, or reference certain things? How many car commercials will you see? It just goes on and on from there.
So, don't sit on the sidelines this year. With the huge range of Super Bowl betting online right now, you can make any kind of wager that you'd like, whether it's on the game, next year's winner, crazy non-football proposition bets and much more.

Win 7 64 bit
Ram: 12 GB
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-960 3.20 GHz 8M Intel Smart Cache LGA1366
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 Dual GPU SLI 3GB 16X PCIe Video Card
POWERSUPPLY: 1,000 Watts - Corsair HX1000W 80 Plus Power Supply - Quad SLI Ready
Basically what happens is when I force one GPU ,specifically B, to run dedicated Physx, then I can boot up the game and play it no problem. Though if I choose auto select, CPU, or (A), then my monitor will crash at a certain point and I'll have to do a hard reset. Also this is all under the condition that I have V-sync turned on, otherwise no matter what GPU or CPU uses my monitor will crash.
Anyway, what I'm looking to find is a way that I can enable multi-gpu, otherwise I have to dedicate one of them, gimping my comptuer's performance. If any additional information is required just tell me how I can provide it and I will. Also, this happens in multiple games, not just GW2.
Edit: Some screenies of GPU-Z with GW2 running in the background (login screen). Also this is with one gpu dedicated to physx.
Edit: I'm not sure but I think I found out what was causing the crash. After allowing both my GPU's to run and looking at the "Graphics card" tab in GPU-Z I saw Cuda and Physx were not able to run on this setup. So I disabled the settings in my nvidia control panel to use both GPUs for CUDA, also disabling Physx, and so far after opening Tribes Ascend, a game that would normally cause me to crash after running multi-gpu, I haven't crashed yet.
Edit2: Ok, turns out it still crashed lol, but at least it was later then usual and not at the login screen. Gw2 also works fine at the login screen. I have some logs from GPU-Z that I dont want to post becuase they are too long and I dont know how to mark things as spoilers. Though the things that stand out the most to me in there are that my GPU load is always 0%, aswell as my fan speed. Also my GPU clock speed spiked 2 seconds before the crash, then plummeted. Also:
I'm really starting to feel like that dog.

SHEFFIELD TWP. — Brookside got a couple of big breaks, but it made the most of its opportunities as well.
Dudley Taw tied the game with an RBI triple after a controversial call, then Kenny Pierson drove in the winning run with a sharp single down the line as the Cardinals came from behind to beat Columbia 7-6 Thursday in a Patriot Athletic Conference crossover game.
The Raiders (4-3, 2-2) jumped out to a 5-0 lead off Cardinals starter Zach Green, but the Brookside bullpen held Columbia to just one run over 4⅓ innings to allow its offense to rally.
The Raiders' Matt Cordell opened the scoring with a two-run double in the top of the first, then Tristen Rindfleisch, Jacob Kleinhenz and Matt Cordell had RBI hits in the top of the third.
Brookside answered with four runs in the bottom of the third off Columbia starter Kevin Simon, highlighted by Cameron Drew's two-run single.
The Raiders added a run in the fourth on Rindfleisch's RBI single to make it 6-4.
Raiders coach Justin Ramsey had just what he wanted — a two-run lead with his ace pitcher, Michael Boey, coming into the game in the bottom of the fourth.
The Cardinals (5-2, 2-2) didn't cooperate, scoring single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth to take the lead.
In the fourth, after Boey struck out the first two batters he faced, Ryan Blotzer reached on an infield single. With Taw at the plate, Boey picked Blotzer off first base.
Columbia ran off the field and the Cardinals started looking for their mitts, but the home plate umpire overturned the call, saying he had not signaled for play to begin — despite the ball already being live after a called strike.
Ramsey asked for clarification to no avail. Taw lined the next pitch over right fielder Andrew Augustine's head for an RBI triple.
Despite the confusing call, Ramsey said Boey wasn't bothered.
"Michael is a very strong character, he's very strong mentally," he said. "He's one of our top pitchers that we rely on, our ace. For that play to happen like that was unfortunate. … I don't want to say too much bad here."
Kyle Houston's RBI single to right knotted the game at 6. In the bottom of the sixth, Kenny Pierson gave Brookside its first lead of the game with a single just inside third base on a 1-2 curveball from Boey.
"Boey is a great pitcher for Columbia and that was one of the toughest at-bats I've ever had," Pierson said. "He threw a curveball and I got a piece of it and put it down the line. It wasn't one of my best hits but it got the job done."
Pierson, who came on in relief to start the sixth, pitched around a one-out error in the top of the seventh to get the win. He struck out Augustine to end the game.
"This team never gives up," Brookside coach Brad Bomback said. "They haven't given up since the beginning of the year and they won't … I can guarantee that. This was a big win for us and we really wanted this one bad."
As for the questionable call in the fourth, Bomback wasn't worried one bit.
"We've been on the other end of some calls this year," he said. "I'll take it any way I can get it."
Blotzer paced the Cardinals with three hits and three runs scored. Drew had a pair of hits, drove in three and stole two bases.
Rindfleisch, Kleinhenz and Cordell each had three hits for the Raiders.
Pierson allowed just one hit, striking out a pair in two innings to get the win. He wiggled out of a second-and-third-with-one-out jam in the sixth.
"I was struggling early," Pierson said. "They got the bases loaded in a tie game and I knew I had to shut it down. I trusted my defense and threw what (catcher Matt) Seekins called. … He called a great game behind the plate so I just threw what he called. Our fielders got the job done."
Ramsey thought that was the turning point in the game.
"We put ourselves in a great spot in the sixth inning," he said. "Top of the lineup, I got two guys on and sacrificed them over. But we just couldn't get it done. One out and guys on second and third … you can't ask for a better start to that inning. For it to be shut down like that was huge."
Ramsey also wanted to give the Cardinals credit for their comeback.
"They were definitely clutch," he said. "They hit spots out in the outfield and sprayed the ball where they needed to in clutch situations. You gotta hand it to them, they fought back. I was very confident in Boey and he was ready to go. I didn't think I was going to get a bad game out of him and I really didn't. Brookside put the bat on the ball and sprayed it in the spots they needed."

Man United to battle rivals City for German World Cup winner… potential fee is huge
However, he has recently become more content at the Bernabeu under manager Zinedine Zidane, and could be willing to stay.
Kroos has played the third most minutes for Real this season behind keeper Keylor Navas and Cristiano Ronaldo.
He has been a key part of the midfield since his arrival from Bayern Munich in 2014, but both Manchester clubs are aware that Kroos is not totally satisfied in Spain.

You might have noticed the very flashy shell that was part of the LightSwitch launch demo recently. Infragistics Services group had the pleasure of working on this project to build a compelling and unique shell for the platform. This is just the latest in a growing list of awesome projects that Infragistics Services group has built for our clients.
My colleague posts can be seen here Jason Bares (Overview) Amy Quinn (UX Prospective)
Those of you who haven't had the pleasure of playing with LightSwitch for over a month might be wondering what lives under the hood. I would like to take this opportunity to let you know what you can expect when you start developing for LightSwitch. Please note that I said developing for and not developing with, as this post is aimed at developers who will write add-ins, not apps. This is just a high-level appetite wetter for several more detailed posts coming soon to a browser near you.
Those of you who like MVVM will feel right at home in the LightSwitch environment. The view models which LightSwitch provides for you should be enough to get most shell developers up and running. For shell developers, here is a quick rundown of the view models you will be working with, as well as what they will do for you:
· ActiveScreensViewModel – This view model tells you the screen with which the user is currently working.
· CommandsViewModel – This view model has a list of your various commands, complete with everything that you would need to display and invoke them, including the image for the command.
· NavigationViewModel – This view model contains a list of navigation items broken down into groups.
· ScreenValidationViewModel – This view model is used to keep you informed of validation issues on a screen.
Given how much LightSwitch does to keep the UI thread free of long-running commands (such as loading data or activating any screen) you will find that you will be using a dispatcher that will keep the UI that you build responsive, while LightSwitch's framework does the user's bidding in the background.
Calling a command is accomplished as follows:
var button = sender as Button;var shellCommand = (IShellCommand)button.DataContext;
IBusinessCommand businessCommand = (IBusinessCommand)shellCommand.ExecutableObject;IDispatcherObject dispatcher = (IDispatcherObject)businessCommand;dispatcher.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(delegate(){
if (businessCommand.CanExecute)
businessCommand.Execute(); });
Above you can see how to handle a button click from a button that has a data context of one of the commands from the collection of shell commands from the CommandsViewModel. This is how to launch screens with LightSwitch.
In LightSwitch, almost anything that you want to know can be figured out through one of the many services or providers offered by the SDK. LightSwitch has one interface with which you will be spending a lot of time. This interface offers up the above-mentioned view models, as well as the ModelService, NotificationService, and ScreenViewService.
In a nutshell, LightSwitch offers an eventing system with the notification service. This is used to inform the shell and framework when a user changes the active screen, a screen changes (data entered), or a new screen is activated.
As tech lead on this project for Infragistics, I got very close to the LightSwitch framework and I have to say that while many people are calling this a reboot of Access, I can assure you that this is not the case. It could certainly be said that LightSwitch leverages many new and powerful tools from Microsoft to accomplish a lot of what Access could be stretched to do. However, Access was clearly not designed to stretch as far as many developers have stretched it in the past.
Over the next few weeks, several of my colleagues on this project will blog about their perspectives and lessons learned during development of our recently built shell.
I will be posting more details later but feel free to ask questions and I'll do my best to answer them all.
I would love to see more code on building shells.
hello you have plans to create extensions for launch LightSwitch as news about
What Infragistics Subscriptions will include any LightSwitch Extensions developed? For example will they be included with the NetAdvantage Ultimate subscription or NetAdvantage for .NET?
When I inquired with your sales section about the availability of your (beautiful!) touch-friendly shell recently (in particular, whether it or other shells would be added to your Lightswitch component set, which currently only includes one shell), I got a cryptic reply (apparently passed back through Mark Austin from on high within your organization) suggesting uncertainty due to the fact that "Microsoft is having an impact on our roadmap". Any idea what they mean, specifically?

A Morgan Park Academy student was hospitalized Friday morning after apparently falling out of a bathroom window.
Mercedes Sheppard, the interim head of the school, said the student was conscious when he was found by school personnel after falling out a third floor window of Hansen Hall to a parking lot below at about 9 a.m.
She said the student fell but didn't know how or why. The student was alone, she said.
The student was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center. The boy's family was with him, Sheppard said.
The head of the school declined to identify the age of the student or the grade he was in but said he was a middle school student.
Counselors were made available to the remaining students.
"This is the first time I've heard of anything like this," said Ophelia Carlton, who picked up her sevent grade daughter early after classes were cancelled. "It's a nice community school."
The school, located at 2153 W. 111th Street, in Chicago, is a private, independent K-12 school which offers "a rigorous, liberal arts, college preparatory curriculum," according to its website. It's existed since 1873 and has a little more than 400 students.

This is what we all thought would happen from the beginning, despite recent reports leading us to believe otherwise.
Josh Hamilton is gone. And while it hurts a bit that Hamilton is off to the Rangers' fiercest rivals, the Angels gave him more money than the Rangers likely would have, signing him to a 5-year deal for $125 million.
Rangers GM Jon Daniels said on KTCK-AM 1310 this morning with The Musers that he wasn't mad, as some fans seem to be, that Hamilton didn't give the Rangers a chance to match the Angels' offer, but he was disappointed with the fact that he never got a chance to meet with Hamilton and his agent, which he was reportedly set to do Thursday afternoon. Instead, the Angels swooped in and signed Hamilton.
He didn't say for sure whether the Rangers would've matched Hamilton's offer if given the chance, but he did say it would be doubtful as they would not have acted on emotion, which is what makes this front office so great.
Daniels and the Rangers had apparently offered Hamilton a four-year deal worth $108 million and could've discussed the option of adding a fifth-year club option. But five guaranteed that the Angels gave them? Not a chance.
Business is business, and the Angels obviously have a different approach to business as evidenced by their signings of Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson and their trade for Vernon Wells.

Africa: French Colonies - POLITICAL ORGANIZATION OF FRENCH COLONIES IN AFRICA, ASSOCIATION AND ASSIMILATION
colonial france african soldiers
The construction of race in France's African colonies arose out of the turbulent political, intellectual, and cultural contexts of nineteenth- and twentieth-century France, as well as the specific dynamics of each colony itself. An understanding of race and racism as operative conceptual categories in French political culture must pay particular attention to the specific colonial contexts in which these concepts arose. There are broad themes that emerge out of the French colonial experience in Africa. Empire itself represented a profoundly racialized extension of state power outside of the boundaries of the incipient French nation-state, while at the same time it fundamentally reconfigured the French nation through the internalization of colonial policies of racist exclusion. The colonization of Africa profoundly altered both France and the various African nations that were colonized.
Administratively, politically, and practically, Africa never functioned as a unified object in French colonialism. Indeed, even at the height of its African empire, France never governed Africa under a single colonial apparatus. Rather, numerous forms of political control arose in geographically discrete portions of the continent, all of which were, to varying degrees, authoritarian and aggressively imperialist. Long-term French colonization of Africa began in earnest in 1830 with the French invasion of Algeria. The long duration of French occupation, its intense violence, and the large numbers of European colonial settlers made Algeria—in law, in political cultural, and in administrative fact— an entirely unique case in the French colonial world. Indeed, an administrative decree in 1878 ended the status of Algeria as a colony, ostensibly integrating it as part of metropolitan France. This decree merely served to reinforce the two-tiered political system that accorded rights to European settlers while denying them to Algerians, and Algeria largely remained, in fact if not in law, a colony.
Tunisia, despite its geographic proximity and linguistic affinities with Algeria, became a French "protectorate" rather than a colony. The establishment of the protectorate in 1881 ushered in a fundamentally different form of French imperialism on the north coast of Africa. Although Tunisia retained its cosmopolitan, Mediterranean atmosphere, the imposition of French rule represented yet another form of empire in Africa. Similarly, in 1912, France established a protectorate in Morocco, nominally maintaining the role of the Sultan while effectively controlling economic and political life in the kingdom. Though the structures of governance in Tunisia and Morocco differed both from each other and from those in Algeria, the protectorate system insured French control over the remainder of North Africa.
In sharp contrast, other forms of political control arose in other parts of French-controlled Africa. The creation in 1895 of Afrique Occidentale Francaise (French West Africa, or AOF) unified a vast, culturally and linguistically diverse region under one administrative body. Comprising the area of the modern nations of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, and Senegal, French West Africa attracted very few European settlers. As a result, the administrative policies that French governors implemented here differed substantively from those of the Maghrib (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and at times Libya and Mauritania). Similarly, Afrique è quatoriale Francaise (French Equatorial Africa, or AEF) contained only a tiny number of European settlers in an area of tremendous diversity. The colony, covering what later became the nations of the Central African Republic, Chad, the Republic of Congo (Congo-Brazzaville), and Gabon, combined under one central administrative body a large number of disparate ethnic and linguistic groups. Both French West Africa and French Equatorial Africa functioned primarily as administrative and political bodies, and in no way did they respect preexisting boundaries or groupings. France governed its other African colonies— Madagascar, the Indian Ocean territories, the Territory of the Afars and Issas (French Somaliland; later Djibouti)— through separate administrative structures. Finally, following the dismantling of Germany's colonial empire after World War I, France acquired two so-called mandate territories, Togoland and Cameroun (later called Togo and Cameroon).
Thus, the political organization of French colonial Africa did not correspond to clearly defined ethnic, linguistic, or other boundaries. Not only did French colonial boundaries embrace a tremendous diversity of peoples and places, it also comprised a wide variety of divergent and often incommensurable internal political systems.
At least two major intellectual strands emerged out of the cultural politics of French colonialism. Indeed, French colonial administrators rarely pursued one to the exclusion of the other, instead vacillating between the two as the exigencies of colonial domination demanded. Both strands shared the fundamental assumption that the cultural identity of Africans should rightly become a site for the political intervention of France. Drawing upon the racist conceptions of cultural evolutionary thought implicit in the civilizing mission, the ideas of "association" and "assimilation" imagined African cultures and identities solely in terms of comparison with normative French political and social values. Association reached its apex in French West Africa in the early twentieth century, according to Conklin. Politically speaking, association promoted the coexistence of preexisting political structures with the superstructure of empire, allowing, for example, continued roles for chiefs and other African elites alongside new colonial elites, such as African bureaucrats educated in colonial schools. Associationist policies imagined a colonial governance in which older elites joined with new African leaders in reinforcing the colonial order through nominally consultative assemblies and other such superficially participatory institutions. Association rested on a profoundly racist conception of cultural identity. The doctrine of association held that the differences between colonizer and colonized prevented the establishment of political systems in Africa divorced from preexisting institutions. In other words, association, as an intellectual concept, viewed Africans as inextricably wedded to the past and incapable of attaining the level of French political and social forms. Association took root in twin assumptions: (1) that French social and political organization represented the pinnacle of cultural achievement, and (2) that Africans could never quite achieve that pinnacle.
As a political program, assimilation required the eventual adoption of French culture, politics, social mores, and beliefs by Africans. Assimilation followed directly upon the conception, incorrect though it was, of empire as a project of tutelage. As the civilizing mission maintained that colonialism aimed at raising Africans to the level of European colonizers, at its core it implied the ultimate abandonment of colonial cultures in favor of assimilation to the French model. Assimilation was, in its essence, an ideology of cultural annihilation. Assimilationists held that colonial cultures, whether in Madagascar or Africa or Djibouti, would inevitably die out as people abandoned their previous, backward practices in favor of the civilized, French model. Assimilation was, of course, in no way less racist than associationist thought—the first implied a teleology that valorized French norms and denigrated any non-European ways of life, while the later reinforced a belief in the definitive inability of non-Europeans to accommodate change. Assimilation, with its implied cultural annihilation, and association, with its ideology of irreducible difference and inferiority, articulated diametrically opposed political programs for the colonies, yet both refused to grant Africans the ability to participate, as equals, in political and intellectual life in the French colonies.
Even participation in colonial bureaucracy and administration provided no insulation against French colonial racism. In particular, African soldiers (known as tirailleurs ) serving in French armies found little recompense or recognition, and almost no compensation for their sacrifices for the French colonial state. In some colonies, although service in the armed services seemed like an opportunity for social advancement (and at times provided an advantage for future administrative employment), serving as a colonial soldier to some extent alienated such troops from communal social structures, particularly after independence. They were, in the words of one scholar, "caught between two worlds and uncomfortable in either" (Echenberg 1991, p. 140). At the same time, Gregory Mann contends, in Native Sons (2006), that the preexisting social and political structures, conceptions of responsibility, and communal ties inflected Malian soldiers' conceptions of their relationship with the colonial state (and, by implication, those of colonial soldiers more broadly). In particular, the legacy of slavery and the transition to a postslavery social system in Mali fundamentally reordered social relations, a reordering whose consequences were felt in the ties between soldier and state.
As Myron Echenberg explains in Colonial Conscripts (1991), of the European colonial powers, only France utilized colonial soldiers throughout its empire, including in France itself. Germany and Britain used colonial soldiers extensively in the actual colonies but refused to use them on the home front. World War I had taken as great a toll on African soldiers as it did on Europeans, as battle deaths, climate, and epidemics decimated the soldiers. By World War II, French colonial soldiers loomed in the imagination of the German Nazis as an indication of the decadence and depravity of the French "race." Echenberg notes that both Adolf Hitler and Erwin Rommel singled out African soldiers in the French army for particular disdain.
Even before the massive battles of World War II, African veterans (of both World War I and various colonial clashes) organized into political pressure groups. Collectively organized with roots in prior political actions, veterans played a major role in the politics of postwar French colonies and newly independent African nations. As both Mann and Echenberg describe, the 1944 mutiny of African colonial troops at Thiaroye in Senegal demonstrated the insistence of veterans upon fair treatment and equitable recompense. French colonial administrators quashed the rebellion with the use of other colonial units.
Despite such activism, the tirailleurs rarely received a fair response. Not until 2001 did the French state admit to the injustice of the unequal pensions allotted to French and African soldiers, by which point most veterans had died. France utilized colonial soldiers not only to police the boundaries of its empire, but also to protect France itself. However, the racist logic of empire could not acknowledge the equality of the sacrifice of African and French soldiers. In the allocation of unequal pensions, the state quite literally attached a different value to the lives of former colonial subjects and French citizens.
The legacy of colonialism in French Africa has extended, after independence, to other French-speaking colonies in the region. Broadly speaking, France has pursued active connections with Francophone Africa, with varying intents and consequences. Such foreign policy has, at times, veered toward the interventionist, with various French governments of all political stripes providing support or even arms to client states and friendly regimes.
Perhaps the most infamous of such interventions occurred, not in a former French colony, but in the former German and later Belgian colony of Rwanda. French President François Mitterand's government considered Rwanda to be part of Francophone Africa, and as such a region of special interest for France. As Andrew Wallis notes,
French intervention in Rwanda in the last 1980s and early 1990s was first and foremost an attempt to keep its beloved francophonie intact. It was symptomatic of 30 years of military intervention by Paris on the continent. Despite appalling human rights abuses by its 'client' African governments, France has continued to support dictators and regimes whose murderous policies towards their own people have been well documented. The continuity of this policy is as striking as its longevity through Presidents de Gaulle, Pompidou, Giscard d'Estaing and Mitterand, and has survived changing times, values and world politics." (2006, p. 11)
International scholars, human rights activists, and others have levied against the French government charges of complicity with the Hutu regime responsible for Rwanda's 1995 genocide. Within France as well, academics, activists, and, to a lesser extent, elements of the media (most notably Patrick Saint-Exupéry in the French newspaper Le Figaro ) have called for further investigation into the Mitterand government's alliance with the genocidal Rwandan government, and into the French army's intervention on their behalf, a decision undertaken with no parliamentary debate in France. Jean-Paul Gouteux's Un génocide secret d'État draws a direct link between European colonial racism, both French and Belgian, and the Rwandan genocide. Indeed, many French writers have pointed to the French response to the Rwandan genocide as indicative of the need for a larger engagement with the ethical responsibilities of empires to their former colonies (despite the fact that France had, in fact, never colonized Rwanda). However, in an indication of the still-fraught relationship between postgenocide Rwanda and France, the Rwandan president severed ties with Paris in 2006.
The legacy of colonial racism and the political constructions of race in French colonial Africa reverberate throughout both the former colonies and France itself. Divisive policies enacted in the name of empire, the creation of racialized differentiations among peoples, and their rearticulation in the present complicate the postcolonial inheritance of France and the independent nations of Africa. The profound and intrinsic racism of the colonial project, expressed in manifold ways, continues to haunt the present.

My name is Angel, and I've been abducted and stolen across the galaxy by the Gran, a fierce race of alien cats. The captain of the Gran knows my secrets - I'm the product of illegal genome experiments to perfect the human race. He exploits my special qualities when I serve as his concubine.
When I'm not serving the captain, I fulfill his wishes. He ordered me to breed or die, so I breed, constantly. Or I try to.
Jason, my fellow captive and lover, is my anchor to sanity. Unfortunately, Jason doesn't know my secrets. He considers clones an abomination.
I fear the day my lover helps us escape as he's promised. I fear his rejection if he learns of my deceit. I pray to a universe that has never shown me favor. I pray our love can survive our escape.
The series:
Born of illegal experimentation on the human genome, I've been taken for a ride across the galaxy, enslaved to the warlike race of cats called the Gran. They think I'm some kind of upgrade, a new slave stock to be bred.
Though many would resent me for the decisions I have made, they never experienced my struggle to find love and meaning in a world where I do not belong.
A freak of nature, the humans don't want me.
Far more valuable than they could ever know, the cats don't appreciate me.
Trapped in the conflict between two galactic empires, the pirates can't save me.
Thrust into the center of an interstellar war, the Earth Defense Council never saw me coming.
I am Angel 6.0, and this is the dark, wicked, violent tale of my life.

SC Pastors Opposed to County Proposal to Allow Bars Next to Churches
Pastors in a county in the heart of South Carolina are expressing their opposition to a local government proposal that would remove the zoning buffers between bars and houses of worship.
Richland County Council is presently considering a move to drop the buffer system, which would allow bars to be built and to operate right next to churches. At a Council meeting held Tuesday evening, churches from multiple neighborhoods protested the possible removal of a 500-foot buffer between bars and churches in the Richland area.
The Reverend John W. Culp, pastor at Virginia Wingard United Methodist Church in Columbia, told The Christian Post that "our ground is sacred too." "A bar shouldn't be near a church that has a nursery or a preschool. I have an AA that meets in my church. Why should I want a reformed alcoholic coming out and there he is facing a bar?" said Culp. "I have a Montessori School that meets in the basement of my church, I got an AA that meets in my church and they were trying to say that church only meet at 11:00 on Sunday which is ridiculous."
Endorsed by the County Planning Commission and proposed by Councilman Norman Jackson of Lower Richland, the proposal would allow for bars to be built next to churches, says local media. The present ordinance for Richland prohibits bars to be opened within several hundred feet of churches or schools. Jackson motioned to remove churches from the ordinance, however, because of the feedback he opted to withdraw it.
"The church is a sacred place and we have a place in society," said Culp, adding that he felt a possible arrival of a bar could be a hazard to his church and his neighborhood. "I don't mind going into bars witnessing to people," added Culp, "I know we got alcohol in our society and that's not the point."
The South Carolina pastors' efforts against the buffer removal bear a resemblance to a similar situation in Augusta County, Va., in late 2011. Mount Bethel Baptist Church members voiced their objections before the Augusta County Board of Zoning Appeals when a local one-man brewery sought to set up shop on property adjacent to their sanctuary. Mount Bethel stated that they opposed the brewery over the belief that its close proximity to their church could make it harder for them to encourage young people to abstain from alcohol.
As to the status of the proposal, Jim Manning, Councilman for Richland County District 8, told The Christian Post that it was considered dead with Jackson's retraction at the Tuesday meeting. "It was killed by the maker of the motion. Always pleased to hear from the constituents, Pastors or anyone else," said Manning.
Richland Councilman Seth Rose echoed Manning, telling CP that "I do believe that [Jackson] intended something different and he decided to also vote to get rid of it."

Cooke on the boil as Coleraine lead table
Coleraine are out on their own at the top of the North West Premiership after a resounding 136 runs victory over defending champions Donemana on Sunday.
The Bannsiders put themselves in pole position to take over from the Tyrone side by dismissing their visitors for 90 with former Ireland international Gordon Cooke, now 37 years-old, taking four for 15 in eight overs.
Earlier, he had been run out for 45 after sharing a sixth wicket partnership of 112 with his older brother, David, who finished 83 not out.
Eglinton caused the surprise of the day with a 11 runs win at Strabane Park to join Donemana on two wins (out of three).
Only Tim Chopra and Andrew Pierce passed 30 for Eglinton but Jonny Gardiner, Simon Olphert and Karl O'Doherty all reached double figures to get the visitors from 140 for six to 201. It proved so vital.
Strabane, admittedly without five players, were 146 for four in reply but Peter Gillespie was run out by the footballing skills of Gardiner and of the Red Caps' bottom four, only Marty Deans had limped into double figures when the overs ran out.
Brigade picked up their second win and condemned Bready to their third straight defeat with a seven wickets victory at Beechgrove after bowling their visitors out for just 84.
Mark Simpson had figures of two for 11 in his 10 overs and an unbeaten 27 from Warriors assistant coach Ian McGregor saw the home side in the 17th over.
Fox Lodge left Bready on their own at the bottom after winning their first match, a 57 runs success over Glendermott at The Rectory.
Four of the Foxes batsmen got to 30 but none reached 40; it was still enough to post a 254 for eight which they defended comfortably.

I pull my shirt off
to check for the bulls eye
Today it's there
so I'll run and hide
but to no avail
I'm the pawn in your diabolical tale
premeditated and calculated
guess I missed the cookie crumb trail
no clues are friendship was going stale
you stabbed me in the back
knowing I'm emotionally frail
You blind sided me
and so likely is the story
that it's just my luck
Now I'm always your excuse
when your talking about why you can't drink it up
I hope you chock on those lies you poser
You'll never help people
your an emotional bulldozer
Maybe one day you'll suffer
from real emotional ills
Believe when I tell you
It Kills
Everyday I take a handful of pills
even then their is no guarantee
There's are days when negativity
and overwhelming pressures
consume my very being
and the crazy thing is the seeing
because it's believing
witnessing me in a blank stare
I'm conscious,
but no one's there
Just - My - Stare
I'm busy
with my clipper ship
I've floated upon your hurricane
and every little happy moment we ever had
has crying stinging pellets of mad

LONDON -- Is 10-4 over and out forever for Colleen Jones and her team?
Maybe, maybe not.
Following her team's 10-4 loss yesterday at the Labatt Centre to defending champion Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg, Colleen Jones indicated she and her celebrated Nova Scotia foursome will weigh the prospects of whether or not to continue on the competitive circuit.
The Jones gang, which includes Kim Kelly, Mary-Anne Arsenault and Nancy Delahunt, collectively has won five Canadian titles and two world championships. They have six national titles overall and one national mixed title.
"I'm proud of what we did this week," Colleen Jones said. "A lot of people probably had us written off as dead after (a disappointing) Olympic trials, so to come in third in Canada that's still a pretty good accomplishment for a team.
"So do you build on it? Or do you say, 'No, we didn't win, we're not good enough.' Or do you kind of take it and say, 'All right, we still have a lot left in us.' It's hard to know (what to do).
"At this age you ask yourself, 'Do you curl that much?' We love what the game has given us over the years, but by the same token you look up and say, 'I've been away for a month and I want to go home.'
Jones said if her team had not made the playoffs, the issue would have been "cut and dry."
She added her team doesn't want to hang around past its prime.
Jones and her squad had one of its best games of the tournament in a playoff loss against Kelly Scott of B.C. on Friday, but the skip clearly battled draw weight yesterday.
"I've been making shots for a long time, but some times it's not there," she said.
"There's the growing pressure of realizing time is running out for us."

In the smartphone market, third place is the new first.
Just ask Sony, which like just about everyone else is aiming for the moon and not the stars when it comes to its smartphone efforts. Rather than target the near-insurmountable hegemony of Samsung and Apple, Sony says it's aiming for the spot right under them.
It's tempting to make fun of Sony for this supposed capitulation, but the company's mission makes a whole lot of sense. Not only is third place a hugely profitable position in the cutthroat smartphone market, but it's a very clear step up for Sony, which didn't even register on Gartner's 2012 smartphone sales chart. Aiming for third place isn't exactly throwing in the towel. (Not that Sony can't realistically hope for anything else right now.)
And how does Sony plan to climb the ranks? According to Sony mobile head Kunimasa Suzuki, Sony will tweak its smartphones for each market, which should, in theory, give it an edge in needs, as Reuters reports.
The idea seems obvious (almost stupidly so), but Sony' success with it hinges on some big questions. Can Sony make its devices cheap enough for emerging markets like China and India? Huawei and ZTE have catapulted to their current spots because they've managed to create cheap devices that somehow aren't intolerably crappy. Will Sony be able to consistently do the same?
The second question involves devices like the one in the photo above. Mid- and high-end Android smartphones are plagued with a certain, seemingly unavoidable plague of sameness that Sony, despite its best efforts, hasn't done the best job of overcoming. Besides making cheap phones cheaper, Sony's other mission is to make its more expensive phones are more, well, interesting.
Sony's history gives me confidence that it can pull off the latter, but the former might be a more difficult task.

And who's living without any feeling...?
The Meaning of Resistance
(chapter eleven - the eleventh chapter of the story. this can't end well...)
Frowning deeply, Sneasel braced himself for the impact. "It's been good, buddy." He said softly, under his breath so that the Charizard about to roast him for lunch wouldn't have another excuse to mock him without mercy.
Charizard, he knew, would be specifically looking for that.
"Go ahead," he said out loud, "do what you like with me. Make me faint, kill me, anything. I will take it like a male either way." He stood up to his full height (which wasn't all that much taller than he was previously anyway) and stared Charizard straight in the face. Sneasel had no reason to do something so foolish as to present himself to be barbecued like a cowering wimp; if he was going to be barbecued for a dirt-talking Charizard's lunch, he would take it like no Sneasel worth his salt would - with honor.
The Charizard was not fazed, but was rather even more amused.
"This keeps getting better and better!" the dragon pronounced. He stood on his haunches, pondering the best and most pleasurable way to sauté the little thing. He didn't expect Sneasel to go anywhere, and Sneasel wasn't too likely to back down.
"Oh, yes," Charizard muttered. "This shall be fun." As he spread his wings for dramatic effect, the beginnings of a Dragon Pulse were already rushing about in Charizard's gaping mouth.
Unfortunately, this spectacular display of spontaneous combustion was cut short by a Thunderbolt that emitted a loud and unpleasant sizzling sound as it hit Charizard in the skull.
The Charizard coughed and wheezed, still twitching from the mini- explosion that followed the attack. It took a final breath, and thumped to the ground, out cold. Of course, this last breath sounded like something that only the
and most
Charizards would say when defeated in battle:
Sneasel made a
'tsk, tsk'
Everyone gasped in unison and began to search frantically for the creature that had summoned such a powerful attack; but the thing responsible was lurking in the trees just outside of their line of sight.
"Good, Magnezone." Cyrus turned to his Pokémon, who whirred contentedly.
"Of course," Magnezone bleeped back.
Something stirred in the trees behind Magnezone. He turned around to see what had made the disturbance, as Cyrus didn't seem to hear it.
"Who's there…?" He whispered.
"Oh, nobody important." An innocent female voice with just the slightest hint of malevolence echoed out from the trees. A crimson-colored gem glowed from the leafy gloom, illuminating bright yellow eyes and a pink-and-blue face halfway between a wry grin and an evil smirk. It was attacked to a blue body, covered by the bushes. Not a pretty picture, I tell you.
"Come closer," Mesprit cooed. "I have something to ask you." She slipped further into the forest.
"I need to check on something. I think I heard a disturbance." The metal Pokemon turned to his owner for a second.
Cyrus nodded. "Go ahead." He leaned further into the shadow of the huge building, listening to the uproar a few feet away and deciding he didn't need to see anything more.
"What is it?" Magnezone asked. He had arrived in a clearing not far from the space where he had fried Charizard from. He glanced slightly upwards to find the origin of the noise.
Mesprit was floating in the air, looking down at him. Four thick, pink, tube-shaped appendages with rounded edges stuck out of the sides and back of her head. The same pink color circled around her eyes and baby-blue face like a mask. Two long tails flowed down from the blue body, each one ending in spikes and another gem.
She smirked at him. Magnezone was about to ask again what she wanted, but was cut off by a chant that made her objective quite clear.
"I call upon the higher powers bestowed upon me by the Unknown One," she muttered. "I call upon my powers to mold the emotion of this metal creature to my will, and to keep it until I may dislodge it or its consciousness is lost, should that be the case." Mesprit wanted to say 'no matter what' but Arceus forbade her; so she did the best she could.
Magnezone blinked.
"Y-yes, Mistress? What do you require of me?" He asked, making another odd bowing motion.
Her malevolent grin widened as she explained to Magnezone what she wanted him to do…
"Of course, my Mistress. I will follow your instructions to the syllable." He bowed again and turned to leave, heading back for Sandgem Town. He didn't consider for a second the effects this would have on his Trainer.
Cyrus watched as Magnezone flew over him and into the town, where the uproar from the battle had died down and Kris, Caro, and Rin were back to their flame war. Caro looked away for a second and noticed Magnezone skid to a halt. All eyes were on Magnezone as Caro nudged and pointed to Kris. She turned, and fell slack-jawed before running the other way very, very fast (along with everyone else).
For, you see, Magnezone didn't seem to know what in the name of Arceus he was doing. He was electrocuting
There were electric sparks flying as he sent various attacks in every direction he could reach. People began to scream and retreat to their homes, but Sandgem town wasn't big enough for everyone to find a way away; he was blocking the north exit, and the other land route was blocked off by a fallen tree, now on fire; not many people had Surfing Pokémon on them, either. Darn the starter Trainers who hadn't found the Hidden Machine Surf yet.
Mesprit watched in great amusement from the underbrush as Cyrus analyzed the situation silently. If he just stood here out of sight, Magnezone would overheat and quite possibly explode. If he didn't, well… if he didn't, he would have to run out into the town square, shut Magnezone down, and get himself, Caro, and Kris out of there before anybody saw him.
Mesprit had it all planned out.
It was
Magnezone was beginning to overheat, and sooner or later Cyrus would have to run out, leaving himself open for Mesprit to attack and to be seen by passerby. Or, alternatively, lead him to explode and make her mission much easier.
She began to giggle as Cyrus made his decision.
He bounded out into the town square, shoving screaming citizens out of his way. Most of them were running for their lives, and the rest had only a split second to se him before he kept moving and was swallowed up by the crowd (they all probably thought they were hallucinating). He soon got to Magnezone, who was reaching the danger zone by now. Mesprit's smile slowly began to sink into a frown as she suddenly recalled his talents with machines.
He leaped onto Magnezone's top half, positioning both feet on the magnets on either side. He held on to Magnezone's antenna with one hand, and with the other began to frantically remove a panel on the metal Pokémon's back. He knew this thing inside and out. However, trying to deactivate a bucking Magnezone who is quite capable of exploding at the slightest screw-up made the operation a bit more difficult.
Most people had gotten into their homes by now, and were shoving their heads up against the window panels trying to catch a glimpse of their almost-savior. They were pretty happy with the guy; at least they were, until a particularly bright Zap Cannon lit up the previously-silhouetted form of the person on Magnezone's back as it dropped to the ground with a
A woman watched the scene from the window of a Pokémon Center from behind dark sunglasses. There were so many emotions swirling around in her head, she couldn't quite decide on one to put on her face.
Everyone else jumped in surprise when the Magnezone fired the Zap Cannon, lighting up the lunatic trying to shut it down – wait, that wasn't right... She just began to shake violently. Dizzily, she made her way back to her room.
She ignored the murmuring people saying such pleasant things as, "He's supposed to be
!" "What in the…" "This isn't possible!" "Hey, have you healed my Bidoof yet?"
Cyrus returned Magnezone as he ran, grabbing Caro and Kris by the arm as he tore off into the forest moving towards Twinleaf Town. Their mad sprint for the exit was fairly undisturbed, as the only other moving creature in the immediate area was taking a much more direct (and much higher) route.
Mesprit left for her cave, grumbling angrily.
"That little pest!" She hissed. "I made a perfect plan,
and that scummy Link-spamming dingbat screwed it all up!
Messing with Legendaries, as you should realize by now, is a very messy and serious affair (ignoring, of course, the fact that humans taste like chicken). Thus, it was not recommended by anybody. Ever. But people still did it, for whatever deluded reasons they have in their heads. Most of the Legendaries give the punishment, and once they've done their share of the work shrug it off and continue with life as planned. But not Mesprit.
No, not Mesprit at all.
She usually goes along with it just as all of the other Legendaries did, and all of the other Legendaries (at least those of them smart enough to realize Mesprit wasn't entirely a bubbly ball of fluff) accepted that gratefully. But this was the first time for quite a while that she'd lost her calm like this, and all of the other members of the celestial Cool Kids table knew something was going to go very, very wrong with Mesprit's desire for twisted justice.
And the worst part was, nothing in their extensive power could be done to stop her.
Most Legendaries can't control most other legendaries (the exception being Rayquaza and the Sootopolis incident, and a few other instances). This was pretty much because nobody thought Mesprit was going to go off the deep end except Uxie and probably Suicune (who's wary of everyone anyway), but really - who would bother to listen to the
being of knowledge?
Pfft. Nobody, of course!
Mesprit teleported back to her cave, frowning deeply. It would be rather difficult to describe what she was saying and keep any sign of respect for the younger crowd (without her speech bubble consisting of a very, very long line of dashes and/or asterisks), so it shall just be said that she was very, very angry and was speaking as such.
"That was
," Kris said coldly as they caught their breath in a separate area of the forest, hopefully far away enough from Sandgem Town.
"Caro nearly got himself beaten to a pulp, Magnezone went on rampage, you went out in public, I've got an annoying pest who likes to whine about people to look out for, and someone is trying very hard to screw up our lives. Something is going very,
wrong here!"
She growled as a large raindrop fell with a plop on to her head. Kris' short temper was beginning to shine through.
